I did a podcast on Reich's Ether, God & Devil recently which can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiJJ...

bsky.app/profile/gsoh... I always value Glen O'Hara's insights, so am excited to dig into this and in no way is reading about the politics of my youth an escape from the horrendous timeline we seem to be in.

"Fascism is the frenzy of sexual cripples." ~Wilhelm Reich

The total lack of seriousness that UK elites show while facing an obvious pre-war/ grey war situation in most policy realms is atrocious. Small boats? Yeah whatever mate.

@astra.bsky.social on the movement we need: "I think it’s also anti-nihilistic. It’s anti-despair. It’s like, 'No, this is actually a beautiful place, and it’s worth fighting for, and other people are worth fighting for.'" truthout.org/audio/traito...

I'd ask all of you and @jcbslide.bsky.social to think about these questions: Can we know what’s true? Can we debate and decide fairly? Can we hold power accountable? If you answer "no" to those questions, then I'd argue you aren't living in a functional democracy, just a performance of one.

Still true: *Britain is a success story *Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well *Multiculturalism is popular *Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration *Nostalgia is increasingly weird *Britain is incredibly safe *Levels of social cohesion are high Don't let them gaslight you.

I'm going to give a short talk on Wilhelm Reich at the Magick Without Tears pub moot, The Fitzroy Tavern, Charlotte Street on Thursday the 19th (next Thurs), pls come if yr around, reskeets appreciated.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

What #therapy and #counselling actually looks like:

Really interesting & useful chat on teens & screens from @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social and Pete Etchells, esp if yr reading The Anxious Generation. I think reading Twitter for ages had made me forget nuance was possible. youtu.be/CDklRSfl8og?...

"The basic truth in all teachings of mankind are alike and amount to only one common thing: To find your way to the thing you feel when you love dearly, or when you create, or when you build your home, or when you give birth to your children or when you look at the stars at night.” Wilhelm Reich.

Some interesting thoughts on the political idea known as Anarchism.

Don't stop listening to new music and see as much (good) live music as humanely possible.

Seriously, you probably need to listen to this, but it just doesn’t seem like a thing that you need to listen to. I think you should trust me. Just listen.

Happy Easter all!

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

Farage and Badenoch are very strongly plugged in to the new US power networks changing their country's track from a liberal to an authoritarian democracy. They will be watching the lessons, what can and can't be achieved to fundamentally alter state and society, extremely closely.

This is a really powerful piece that outlines clearly the apocalyptic fantasies of those in charge of the US and points to some strategies for resistance. Please read and share.

Why yes, I am watching the absolute HARDEST live footage of all time for the erd time this morning youtu.be/bm03wqLY3Nc?... if you've never seen this before, you're welcome.

Remember that the 'plan' is to wreck the country as we have known it, not fix it. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

An inspiring thread. Books are life.

Fascinating article on the hidden sexism potentially at work under the surface of the ubiquitous BPD diagnosis lindagask.com/2025/03/02/t...

This is such a phenomenal read. What if sociopahic arms dealer met a fully functioning modern goetic magician, is the premise. "...with hilarious consequences!"

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.

Let’s start with a critical point: Not all disordered discourse leads to institutional capture. Some narratives, like Flat Earth or Bigfoot conspiracies, remain fringe, self-contained, and irrelevant to policy. But others infiltrate formal institutions, and that’s where the danger escalates.

"In those days I coerced Oracular assurance In my favour out of every sign."

Now that Oscar season is over, could someone please start working on a biopic about Wilhelm Reich, the man simultaneously too communist and too Freudian for his own good? Great read from @hzeavin.bsky.social in @parapraxismag.bsky.social . www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/too...

Wilhelm Reich on fascism, clear and resonant as a bell. From Reich’s 1942 book, The Function of the Orgasm, from a section of that book called "Fascistic Irrationalism." Translated by Theodore P. Wolfe pp. 236-238 (I'll confess, post idea stolen from Phillip Bennet on Facebook)

In the papers, on the TV screens Pictures of Adolf again As sure as I sit here there will appear Pictures of Adolf again www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5T3...

Freedom and democracy are always worth fighting for. Slava Ukraini.

If you see this quote with horror movie you love. Pretty much guarantee if you seen the below, you won't forget it - Zulawski's Possession.

Democracy isn’t just voting every few years-it’s about having a real say in decisions that shape our lives. When people feel unheard, frustration grows, and bad actors exploit it. Strengthening democracy means expanding civic engagement, from local initiatives to national policy.
