       Public service message; it's OK to exit the vampire castle. Life is better after you've been "cancelled". If you can't find a zealot to do for you, just cancel yourself ; ) "... the use of humour was what separated Brand from the dourness of so much ‘leftism’. Brand makes people feel good about themselves; whereas the moralising left specialises in making people feed bad, and is not happy until their heads are bent in guilt and self-loathing."https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting-vampire-castle/

       @strypey Not a fan of all the glum dour hung-up Puritanism on the left.Nor, for that matter, of a lot of what has come out of leftist academiain the last 50 years or so.I tried reading Herbert Marcuse about 10 years back.  My time would havebeen better spent watching paint dry.Between the Puritans and the navel gazers, we're in a deal of trouble,and ill-equipped to fight the forces of oppression.I get my leftism from logic, my heart, my inner voice, dreams ...

       @chris> I get my leftism from logic, my heart, my inner voice, dreams ...I get the impression you'd love @CrimethInc. You might also get some value from @C4SS.
