Christopher Caldwell gives us the best English-language explanation of what the AfD is and why it can’t be stopped:

@DPD_ She’s definitely the voice of a generation, just not the one she thinks.

[Hugh Selwyn Mauberley @Hughposting]

The exhortation to "be an adult," and "grow up" is nothing other than an arbitrary demand that you comply, conform, obey, submit to cruel and wanton authority, give up, surrender, abandon your hopes, your idealism, your essence, your soul, your life. That's what they mean

“Unable to call him a hypocrite, his critics had to content themselves instead with calling him an unrealistic fossil, wedded to a dead past. But there was nothing simple about Wendell Berry, and he was not committed to some Romantic fantasy.” Paul Kingsnorth for @firstthingsmag: https://t.co/nX6WgL9mM2

There has been much discussion regarding "red flag books," which, if you see on a man's bookshelf, means you should be wary of him.

I have seen no such list for women, but as a piece of advice to my single friends: if a woman is way too into Sexual Personae, run!

[Germán S. Díaz del Castillo @germansdiaz]

@CMccafe Yes I understand.

[Germán S. Díaz del Castillo @germansdiaz]

@CMccafe Would explain a lot
