I have to write an essay about any historical person after the

Hong Xiuquan.

He inspired China's Taiping Rebellion, perhaps the bloodiest civil war in human history

You could do James Clerk Maxwell and explain how he inaugurated the western world into the modern age through equations regarding electomagnetic force.

You could do Mr. Kellog and explain how his parasite extermination campaign, in the south, removed the productivity barrier between white southerners and former slaves/descendant of slaves.

The South used to (maybe still does) have a stereotype of slow easy-going lazy assholes. Turns out by importing slaves, they imported hookworms which slaves had resistance to. Southern whites didn't have the same resistance and for a few centuries, blacks were literally better equipped for long days of farming.

The advantage disappeared when Mr. Kellogg was successful in wiping out that species of hookworm in the South. The "advantage" blacks had was wiped out.

He has compared Trump to Hitler on several occasions, which is not unheard of in Norway. I'm fairly sure he's left-leaning, and there's also a lot of anti-nationalistic rhetoric. But I don't really know, it all seems like he's walking on eggshells when he starts politically.

I see what you're getting at, but it's kind of politically correct, meaning most were in agreement when he mentioned the parallels. In most normal circles, and in my experience at least. As >>2557360 said, it's off-topic, but I did mention it to him that it was a bit harsh, and he toned it down, now he's walking on eggshells on both sides of the political spectrum. Annoying af if you ask me, but w/e.
