    A horrible thought has occurred to me.

    Could we be seeing the beginnings of something that was supposedly mulled in the early 1980s: the use of the whole European continent as US proxy in a proxy war with Russia?

    Or am I just hyperventilating?

    Sputnik is a Russian propaganda outlet:

    I know that. But whichever news outlet one refers to is propaganda.

    The BBC and Sky at the moment are unwatchable.

    Are you saying the report is false?

    Why are Merz & Co. doing their utmost to invite a devastating Russian military attack down on Europe?

    The comments section of the above video shows just how patriotism can drive our fellow workers so crazy that they DELIGHT in and APPLAUD the prospect of global destruction and the violent death of all.

    TM – ‘The comments section of the above video shows just how patriotism can drive our fellow workers so crazy that they DELIGHT in and APPLAUD the prospect of global destruction and the violent death of all.’

    No mystery there TM – it’s called ‘the Death Instinct’.

    TM – You expressed surprise at the working class’ self destructive urges so I’m just reminding you that the phenomena is well understood.

    Nothing to do with any “death wish”, but more to do with venting their lifeling frustration, misery and hatred on “the foreigner.”

    As far as I know ‘Death Wish’ was a cheesy Hollywood movie starring Charles Bronson so I fail to see what that’s got to do with anything? Lifelong frustration, misery and hatred do indeed feed the need for self destruction symbolized by the killing of others. Any organism that cannot successfully react to stimuli will become violent and destructive, and as you rightly point out in the case of the international working class, self destructive. I have always considered your own obsession with Armageddon ( world war 3) as an example of depression and self destructive psychology. Anyways I don’t propose to debate this all again but the link to my essay on the subject is always open for anyone to read: https://wezselecta.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-death-instinct.html#comment-form

    My “obsession” is fear, and I would say anyone not feeling it, and who is unperturbed by current events, is someone without normal reflexes or sensibility.

    Naturally I seek consolation from those in the party who are better informed and are convinced it is all just fearmongering. My only fault is subjecting myself to current reports on the news, and party comrades have helped me by explaining that WW3 is very unlikely.

    I am not obsessed with “Armageddon”, and if appendicitis suddenly hit me, nuclear war would immediately disappear from my mind at that moment, as would Marxist dialectics or the French Revolution.
