USA | Transgender woman sues Trump over transfer to men's prison in c/[email protected]

I dunno man, they seem to hyperfixate on the death penalty and "law and order" a little too much.

They probably see it as a good thing. Another dirty crook off the face of the Earth.

Aye. My personal take is that both must be condemned as horrific. The Youtuber is wrong to call it "just a symbol". I didn't see any discussion of the $8 billion in arms anywhere though, which struck me as bizarre. Perhaps it is just due to a filter bubble.

The Youtuber voting for the Green Party of all things was certainly dumb as hell.

The US army has proven to be very good at fighting conventional wars but utterly incompetent in fights against guerrillas.

Also they can't bomb infrastructure to starve the rebels out without fucking themselves over too, since they need that infrastructure themselves.

Rule of Left Psychology (self.196)

A lot of people on the left seem to hold The Authoritarian Personality by Adorno et al. and The Mass Psychology of Fascism by Reich in very high regard.

These are very old books. The Adorno book has been criticised for methodological reasons. The Reich book is very rooted in Freudian psychoanalysis. Yet they still seem to be widely read and discussed.

I am not a psychologist. Can psychologists please tell me if these works are still considered to be useful and supported by the available evidence? I feel awfully skeptical when someone backs their point up by citing them and I want to know whether I should unclench my arse.

Thank you :)

Tutoring Depression Rule (sh.itjust.works)
 

I earn a little spare cash as an English tutor over the Internet. My student is a little girl in Russia. During today's lesson she asked me if YouTube isn't working my country either. She said that people are trying to make RuTube to replace it.

I can't explain to her why it doesn't work for her but works for me. Either I must lie or break the law.

Kids are naive and innocent. It breaks the heart.

Question regarding behavior in modern society (self.anarchism)
 

We anarchists are generally averse to cooperating with the police, for very good reasons. However, as I understand it, at times the only real way to protect the community in the society we currently live in seems to be talking with the pigs.

Suppose you believe yourself to have evidence incriminating a serial killer. In an anarchistic society the serial killer could be sent to the psych ward and dealt with humanely. But what about the modern day? Do you turn over the evidence to the police?

This question has been bothering me for about 3 days now. It was provoked by learning about Aufhebengate. It made me wonder under what circumstances snitching is justifiable.
