About My Blog

My blog is about history, popular culture, politics and current events from a democratic socialist and Irish republican perspective. The two main topics are Northern Ireland on one hand and fighting anti-Semitism, racism and homophobia on the other. The third topic is supporting the Palestinians, and there are several minor topics. The three main topics overlap quite a bit. I have to admit that it’s not going to help me get a graduate degree, especially because it’s almost always written very casually. But there are some high-quality essays, some posts that come close to being high-quality essays, political reviews of Sci-Fi TV episodes (Star Trek and Babylon 5), and a unique kind of political, progressive poetry you won't find anywhere else. (there are also reviews of episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and reviews of Roseanne)



(The "Table of Contents" offers brief descriptions of all but the most recent posts)


(If you're really cool and link to my blog from your site/blog, let me know) (if you contact me, use the word "blog" in the subject line so I'll know it's not spam)

YOU NEED TO READ THE POST "Trump, Netanyahu, and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)" here. It is a contrast of the two on COVID-19 and might be helpful in attacking Trump. And see the middle third of this about Trump being a for-real fascist.

The Reagan/Nixon Brigade

(the title is a reference to how units of foreigners fighting fascism during the Spanish Civil War would name their units after historical figures they admired)
There was an interesting article in the NY Times a few days ago. It's here (you may have to register).

It's about how some people in the GOP and the conservative parts of the media are going to start talking about how Obama's plans are "economic fascism." The main proponent of this approach is Saul Anuzis.

Anuzis talking about fascism got my attention. You should read the following link. It's from a site that monitors the MSU-Young Americans for freedom, the only college group to be declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law center.
Anuzis on MSU-YAF's Fuhrer (Anuzis defended the leader of the group (Kyle Bristow) from attacks) UPDATE 1/25/11 Since the YAFWatch blog is still down, you should look at this instead.

For more on Bristow's fascism, besides the entirety of the YAFWatch blog,
specifically see
British National Party
Runes and Leftists (actually the main thing here is actually a link to another part of YAFwatch about the Norse rune Bristow likes)
Democracy

UPDATE11/30/10 For some reason the YAFWATCH blog is now open only to invited guests. Hopefully this will change soon, at least one person is looking into it.

UPDATE 10/7/10 SOLID PROOF!! UPDATE 1/25/11 Since the YAFWatch blog is still unavailable, you should look at this instead.

Yeah, Anuzis is a real anti-fascist warrior alright.
