Would, say, an actor playing a Nazi officer in a movie be protected from this?

Leviticus 21:20 says that you can't approach YWHW's altar if your eyes suck. She's wearing glasses. She better stay far away from the altar.

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.

Please excuse the censorship, I don't think the gamer word is allowed on this instance.

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.
