Open Thread #5 - Reader Input Request
Building a Sensible Substack For a Better and Brighter Tomorrow
This Substack continues to build a bigger and larger readership, but many of you remain quiet! This is okay, as participatory commentary is always the preserve of a small percentage of the overall readership of any site. Many of you choose to reply to me/contact me through email, and this is also fine by me. I do my best to reply as quickly as possible, unless there is a complex or time consuming request being made.
I am coming up to the end of the “My Political Journey” series, and it has been a wild success. I’ve garnered a lot of positive feedback, so thank you all. I have one piece left in the Italian travelogue series, but I think I will continue the series by covering other places that I am visiting. These might be shorter (or longer) pieces. We will see.
On that note, I will be doing a lot of travelling over the next few weeks starting next week. I will do my best to maintain posting, but I might miss one or two days here and there due to other commitments that take me to these places. Please be patient with me.
Input Request
The “My Political Journey” series came about simply due to the request of a subscriber to this Substack. It’s turned out rather well. So I would humbly like to ask my dear readers what else they would like to see me write about. I have many arcane and very niche interests that might not be interesting to you. You may feel that I write about some subjects better than others.
So please tell me in the comments below what you would like to see my write about.
And if you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to my Substack. There is a lot of content behind the paywall for your reading pleasure. The pace of paying subscriptions continues to increase. This is a sign of confidence and appreciation in what I have to deliver to all of you.
There are more interviews in the works, hopefully with the next one coming out later next week. If you have recommendations on who to interview, please share them here as well. The only rule is that they cannot be anonymous people.
Kudos
Glenn Greenwald gave me a very nice shoutout recently.
Feel free to use this thread as an open thread as well, to bring up anything on your mind or related to what gets discussed here in general.
would love your take on “Tinder Swindler”
Your recent post on PC--"Woke"--Gramsci--Frankfurt School, etc:
"What is now known as ‘woke’ was once referred to as “Political Correctness”. The thrust of PCism was to avoid offending..."
It would be good to see a reconsideration after reviewing this book, or at least the website: Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness, and destroyed Normal American Culture.
www.willingaccomplices.com
Understanding the who/what/how/why/when/where of the successful operation to destroy Normal culture is vital to the next step--counter-acting those efforts.
While Gramsci and the Frankfort School were bit players, the operational plans and implementation behind the effort was Willi Muenzenberg--the Comintern's covert influence genius.
Thanks.
