"This is not the great global wave of fascism, not yet anyway." Droid wins.

I admire people's optimism. I hope it is that and not cpmplacency after Austria and Holland. Droid is definitely right aboit the climate, the great unmentionable in any election campaign. Strangely Le Pen has apparently, quietly, moved away from outright denial, which I thought was fulcral to...

Few things in life are as depressing as Bernie Sanders 'fans'.

His book on poetry is singularly free of insight, really quite trite.

The kiddywinkle Hitler Youth also have a thing about milky-wilky: http://forward.com/fast-forward/362986/got-nazis-milk-is-new-symbol-of-racial-purity-for-white-nationalists/

Since we have a newborn baby I restrict myself to one beer a day. At 10am.

Fair point well made.

The Donna Sumner songs were great.

This might be incoherent or bleeding obvious, it's just some observations tied together to make one big generalisation. I'm always very interested in thoughtful feedback https://infinite-coincidence.com/2017/04/21/is-the-rise-of-the-far-right-a-form-of-gambling/

Anyone else reading this? I'm hugely enjoying it. His journalism always struck me as a bit twee and mawkish byt he really seems to know his stuff when it comes to the Frankfurt Massive.

Yello I'm new here and I'm very impressed, it's like the very best days of ILM/ILE. I'd like to post something I recently wrote about music and politics. I know on some forums posting links to blogs is dicey, as it's seen as bad form, but it's not like I'm selling saucepans or anything...
