thankfully my kid is limited to old Disney movies off Netflix, which means that he'll develop a fetish for anthropomorphic foxes like God intended

i've wondered if disney's robin hood didn't also contribute in some small way to the palatability of libertarianism among the youth of my generation:

Can we start feeding all front page articles into the creepy kids video generators?

Most articles already contained dead babies so that aspect is covered, but we can start scaling out communist indoctrination for this generation of toddlers

I’m trying to find a pdf of this:

"Current public health literature suggests that the mentally ill may represent as much as half of the smokers in America. In Smoking Privileges, Laura Hirshbein highlights the complex problem of mentally ill smokers, placing it in the context of changes in psychiatry, in the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries, and in the experience of mental illness over the last century. Hirshbein, a medical historian and clinical psychiatrist, first shows how cigarettes functioned in the old system of psychiatric care, revealing that mental health providers long ago noted the important role of cigarettes within treatment settings and the strong attachment of many mentally ill individuals to their cigarettes. Hirshbein also relates how, as the sale of cigarettes dwindled, the tobacco industry quietly researched alternative markets, including those who smoked for psychological reasons, ultimately discovering connections between mental states and smoking, and the addictive properties of nicotine. However, Smoking Privileges warns that to see smoking among the mentally ill only in terms of addiction misses how this behavior fits into the broader context of their lives. Cigarettes not only helped structure their relationships with other people, but also have been important objects of attachment. Indeed, even after psychiatric hospitals belatedly instituted smoking bans in the late twentieth century, smoking remained an integral part of life for many seriously ill patients, with implications not only for public health but for the ongoing treatment of psychiatric disorders. Making matters worse, well-meaning tobacco-control policies have had the unintended consequence of further stigmatizing the mentally ill. A groundbreaking look at a little-known public health problem, Smoking Privileges illuminates the intersection of smoking and mental illness, and offers a new perspective on public policy regarding cigarettes"--Provided by publisher.

it’s on google books, where I found it by running a search on a snippet of conversation I may have hallucinated

i got an out-of-print documentary history of the red brigades. they were pretty remarkable in that they were based almost entirely out of factories and working class neighborhoods, then managed to succeed somewhat in building an armed vanguard party and politico-military infrastructure among the workers. nearly all of their actions emanated from political strikes, internal struggles against reformist and fascist unions, and labor disputes the PCI had no interest in solving. like the RAF if the RAF actually stuck to its most cogent program of building an armed vanguard with an actual mass base, instead of degenerating into a half-assed politico-military organization vying for party and mass backing in a social and political climate that they failed to adapt to.

all the "armed struggle in the metropole" type groups were and still are unanimously derided or written off completely. which is stupid as fuck, imo

is there any way u could put that online ?

im reading 'the red book and the great wall', which is alberto moravia talking about his visit to cultural revolution china. he met this guy who i thought was extremely cool:

He was an "engineer" (that is, a machine operator), he had lived and worked in Shanghai for a long time, and now he lived in Peking. This was our exchange.
"Are you still working?"
"No, I am retired."
"And what do you do?"
"For the most part, I propagandize Mao's thought in the neighbourhood."
"And the rest of the time, what do you do? Do you listen to music on the radio?"
"No, I don't like music."
"Do you watch television?"
"No, I don't like television."
"Do you take walks in the park?"
"No, I don't like taking walks."
"What do you do?"
"I read the works of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao."

i will be this man as soon as possible
