Hypocrisy Rule
  • 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.

  • I cared before too. There is a difference between passively engaging in BDS and pouring your heart and soul into a movement.

    Edit: I felt the need to elaborate.

    For a very long time I followed the boycott and donated what I could. Genocide is atrocious, but what else could I do? I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere; There weren't exactly any movements nearby I could get involved in.

    I then saw a man from bumfuck nowhere drive all the way to the Israeli Embassy and burn himself alive. I realised there was a whole lot of things I could do.

    I also moved to Ireland, so I got a lot more opportunities to act on my sentiments.

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

    Rule of Left Psychology

    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 :)

    The task of reporting is not a simple one.

This responsibility is ...

    Tutoring Depression Rule

    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

    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.
