@martingeddes hey martin, i’m trying to find a past essay of yours in which you comment on the banking families’ sleight of hand that transpired during the united states civil war—and if i’m remembering correctly you used language along the lines of ‘human beings were collateralized for debt’ or something to that effect..

does this ring a bell at all? i’ve been trying to find it for an hour but to no avail..

essay beautifully captured the hegelian dialectic blak magik of that war and others.. i would love to reread it..
