If You Got Nuttin’, Sell Fear Fear">2
Aside:
Oddly enough, the last time I looked, Communism was dead, dead, dead, except to the Republican Party, which seems determined to keep it alive.

This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Altemeyer specifically targets the GOP/Tea Party on his website for “The Authoritarians” these days. Has for a bit, I presume. If you haven’t downloaded the pdf and given it a read, I do recommend it. He has this type of person nailed. And toward the end he talks about some simulations and games on world/national governance he’s run in which authoritarians are given control. Disaster always ensued.

I’ll definitely check out the PDF.
A long time ago, I read the Authoritarian Personality. Daniel Bell also did a lot work in this area.
Not much has changed.
