1, 2, & 5 can be conflated into single posts as they are all interlinked, even if only peripherally.

3 and 4 seem slightly more stand-alone, though links can be made there too.

1, 2, & 5 for me. The interaction between sex scandals, changing social norms, and political correctness provides the bones of a debate which positions sexual identity politics antithetical to the current lurch towards "Kinde, Küche, Kirche'.

it is my contention that New Neo-fascism will have to be more Strasserite, as that is where its present appeal lies - the working classes are new Neo-Fascism's constituency as much as the more traditional sheet-wearers or black uniform fetishists. And I think new Neo-Fascism will have to be LGBTQ friendly too at a guess. After all those years being vilified, Strasser and gay Nazis in general are back in fashion, darlings.

I mean to say, I'm as goth as the next girl, but uniforms by Hugo Boss... not my thing.

Sounds like a plan for a post in its own worth! ;)

It's all about time management for me. The sporadic and erratic nature of my free time constrains me rather; but I do have plans for a post (never mind what gets voted up, so... I'll have to find an angle, obvs, or let events dictate timing. Because no matter the monthly topic a week is a long time in politics and any political discussion page has to be au courant with events.)
