Hot take: the NSA getting dissolved would be a win

"Far left" my ass. It's the same flipflop of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael that's been in the Dail since the Anglo-Irish Treaty.

McGregor should be exiled to one of the minor islands so all of his neighbours can personally know and hate him.

What's a sheepdog in this context? Did he mean that they're like wolves in sheep's clothing? If that's the case then yeah I was wrong and he's anti-Bernie, which is indeed pretty dumb.

I don't think he's anti-Bernie. He's certainty quite anti-Dem.

Looking through their history, they don't seem to be a tankie. ClassStruggle keeps talking about forming a left party in the USA and running for elections, which is a bit too reformist to be a classic tankie.

In any case, they're right in this case. The Democrats expend way more energy during the elections fucking over anyone on the left than they do actually resisting the fascists.

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 :)

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.
