Vulgar: Beautifully written piece here. Nearly every line in this was thought provoking and genuine. You got an excellent way of saying something very profound and meaningful and putting it in a simple way for readers to enjoy. It's a great piece on the decline of our nature into more materialistic goals which I agree entirely with you on that. The line that really I think encaptures this piece the most, or at least stood out to me the most was the line about being David and trying to act like Goliath. Excellent piece I really enjoyed this.
TopicalDood5: I'm very familiar with Mao's Great Leap Forward plan and know that it was not any leap forward at all. Great to see someone write about this. You captured the violence of it fairly well. As for Pol Pot, a lesser known leader who comitted one of the world's worst genocides, this piece didn't do justice to what they suffered and I don't think any piece would to be honest. You still managed to capture the terrible living conditions and torture they endured under him but Pol Pot was one sick fuck forreal. After reading this piece though and seeing what you've done in past weeks I'm almost sure you were rushed this week but nonetheless it's still a good piece.
All in all this was a great battle but I've got to give the edge to Vulgar.
