HG Wells is all over the map
love his books
I can see Alex Jones inviting him on
hp lovecraft
And also chastisting him
reaps has accended
congrats!!!
but yea hp lovecraft is my favorite
whilst talking about HG Wells, hmm
nonetheless, HG Wells is a great example of how difficult it can be to nail someone down to one set of political beliefs
Then again, late-19th/early-20th century was full of political ideas being tried out
for sure
one of my other favorites
Starship Troopers?
*clicks*
yup
i have read most of his books
So weird to think the same guy who made Robocop made Starship Troopers and essentially admitted that he found the book 'boring', didn't finish it, and made a film that was... not very much like ST
The movie pissed me off
I enjoyed it for the shlock that it was
but yeah
it shit all over the ideals of the book
Pretty sure Verhoeven had worse things to say about it than just 'boring'
Still love starship troopers tho
Is my shit
Have you guys read Wells' Socialism and the Family?
trying to find a copy to download
Can you relate it to me in terms of Harry Potter?
Oh, @DanConway I decided to go with a PROOF barrel instead of Christensen because I hate money
hahaha its gonna be a sick gun though
TRIGGERED
"These are two papers written by Mr. H.G. Wells. The first was read to the Fabian Society in October, 1906, under the title of "Socialism in the Middle Classes.""
Yeah I guess he left because of disagreements.
The Fabian society....the real luminatty
When a sci-fi author leaves your group because even he thinks your grasp of economics is shit, well..
"Wells was for a time a member of the socialist Fabian Society, but broke with them as his creative political imagination, matching the originality shown in his fiction, outran theirs. He later grew staunchly critical of them as having a poor understanding of economics and educational reform. "
no anime...
