Neither Left Nor Right
The Emotional Plague

Thank you for this kind of post which provides some “recent” historical context to the fragility of armored human existence in the greater (macro) social realm.
On another note, many conventional conservative thinkers seems to have fallen into the armored trap of connoting Nazism with “the left”. Lacking the resource of functional thinking, they are convinced that Hitler was a leftist.
The clueless public is in a desperate need of functional thinking.
