Читаем статью Quilette в оригинале, а не как Мессала напел, начало и конец

"The Midway, a World War II-era aircraft carrier that served as the command center for the bombing of Bagdad during the Gulf War, is well worth visiting.

I came away from my visit to the USS Midway (in contrast to my visit to the SCS) profoundly encouraged. One of the docents, a Vietnam-era Navy fighter pilot, explained aspects of his profession to visitors and concluded by saying that we should remember that every single person on a U.S. aircraft carrier was equally important, whatever their age, race, background, ethnicity, or position, because every one of them had an important job to do, whatever it is, and that by doing that job, they collectively made it possible for the ship to sail and for the naval aviators to survive. Lives depended on it. And that ship, in turn, not only represents but is, in fact, the true defender of the West, its civilization, and its values."

Какая однако воинственная (бывшая) профессорша классики. Это как если бы профессор филологии МГУ посетил музей военной техники и с энтузиазмом рассказывал про ту самую пусковую установку, которой сбили малайзийский Боинг (Кстати, жертв войны в Ираке где-то на два порядка больше, чем в Донбассе)

дык абсолютно всегда так - всё, что по-русски про расизм, всегда пиздеж голимый
