Yeah, but how do you REALLY feel?

So much to comment on here. But for now, I took one of the first links to "Socialist Workers Online" and am laughing too much to continue.

Socialist "workers" is a gag-inducing locution worth a trip to the vomitorium (The Robert Byrd Memorial Vomitorim and Pissoir?).

I heard this Daisy Cutter all the way up here in Connecticut. And it was good.

Running through everything you've said is the truth that we're being threatened, gnawed, reviled, mocked, blocked, judged and found wanting, and pissed on by our inferiors.

Most of them are domestic, like the cubicle rodentia at the NYT, broadcast media and schools. Bin Laden has an excuse, since cowardice, cruelty, subjugation and ugliness are part of his world. He deserves to die for that and other things, but he's genuine, like an open sore. He might not have a raison d'etre, but he's connected in some way to history.

It's the well-dressed toffs in the carpeted offices, or the "socialists" in their proletarian costumes that really annoy. They're accessories to nothing, or maybe they're the detritus of prosperity, like the brightly-colored stuff floating in Long Island Sound. It sinks to the bottom after a while. Stay loose.



Dan, repression is very unhealthy:

ACCORDING TO FREUD, the very act of entering into civilized society entails the repression of various archaic, primitive desires. As explained in Module I, each person's psychosexual development includes the surpassing of previous "love-objects" or "object-cathexes" that are tied to earlier sexual phases (the oral phase, the anal-sadistic phase, etc.); however, even well-adjusted individuals still betray the insistent force of those earlier desires through dreams, literature, or "Freudian slips"; hence the term, "return of the repressed."

In less well-adjusted individuals, who remain fixated on earlier libido objects or who are driven to abnormal reaction-formations or substitute-formations, two possibilities exist:

1) perversion, in which case the individual completely accepts and pursues his or her desire for alternative sexual objects and situations (sodomists, sado-masochists, etc.); or

2) neurosis, in which case the same prohibited desires may still be functioning but some repression is forcing the "repudiated libidinal trends" to get "their way by certain roundabout paths, though not, it is true, without taking the objection into account by submitting to some distortions and mitigations" [NOTE: WTF????]

(Introductory Lectures 16.350). Rejected libidinal longings can thus manifest themselves as any number of symptoms. (See the next module on neuroses.)

Cass:

Is blogomania one of those secrets that Freud said we can't keep?

What is you guys sayin?
