It's funny, the last time Gluey had a bit of supportive to and fro where Gramsci and the Frankfurt School was mentioned it was with and by that odious and banned creation Lither_1927,

It's all about the end game and whether you and those close to you are happy with the destination. If you like it, then it's all good. I don't have a horse in the race as I won't be here.

it's good to see that you have finally nailed your colours firmly to the Cyril & Lardy mast, and I wish you the best of luck in your new adventures with the CCMB "dream team". You'll certainly need it!
Have you noticed how they never bump any old Russia collusion/Hunter laptop threads? There is a very good reason for that, as when they are wrong (admittedly, it does take a bit of time), they always pivot onto the next big thing. which they will invariably also get wrong. The latest topic of interest is the great reset conspiracy theory, and our likely lads have already debunked Digital ID, CBDC, a carbon based quota system, and a whole raft of other related items.
That's why they (and now you!) are my favourite and most entertaining posters on here, and long may it continue.

So what's the consensus? Should it be banned or not?

I don't really care to be honest, as it's mostly outside of our control. It's the media who stir up the pitchfork brigade to gain a manufactured consensus, and I just comment on the happenings of the day. However, I do care about the young people, as they will be the beneficiaries (or victims) of what is currently happening now and in the near future, and I am also interested in seemingly random events that appear to be connected in some way.

Evidence by your post responses would suggest you do care.

I actually responded to a post from NinianOpinion1927 but I can see how you might want to take the credit.
Anyway I must admit spending less time on here has given a guilty pleasure. I found this brilliant parody account on the Apostle Wales site to keep me entertained.
It is called AthanEmpadu. Aside from going into convulsions every time Ampadu farts it seems to have got you down to a tee. Here is a flavour:
1. As a matter of interest, have you ever played any football at a decent level?
2. You are the one making all these assumptions. For all you know, I could have been brought up around professional football players and received excellent coaching, but who knows
3. I do find it a bit odd that you keep following me around and reposting all of my comments in quotation marks, followed by negative personal comments about me. Do you have anything against opinions, or perhaps people going off on a tangent? Are you an opinionist or a tangentist? If you don't like or agree with my opinions, or anything else that I post, maybe you should just ignore it and move on.
4. Don't worry, you'll get there one day
5. I've watched all the Leeds games this season due to the Welsh connection, so when Farke starts shaking his head on the touchline I can usually understand the reason for it. These days I find it more interesting to follow the managers rather than the clubs. I've done all the big names, and Nagelsmann was one of my favourites with his gegenpress. The problem I do have is how to counter every counter tactic, and some of the other in-game decisions. That's the real high level stuff that separates the men from the boys.
6. It was the girls and the booze that got me
Comedy gold but I think you should contact the moderator there and ask if they can stop the guy taking the piss!

I really don't care about this hymn, but if others want to sing it they should be free to do so, without people like you trying to impose their will upon them. In the grand scheme of things, we do seem to be on a slippery slope to ever increasing authoritarianism, which you seem to support.
What will happen when something like travel comes under the spotlight? I have been fortunate enough to have had many great life experiences all around the world, and I hope others will be free to discover the same things for themselves. But we all know there will be calls by people like you to forsake it the greater good. Today it's a hymns, tomorrow it's travel. Where does it all end?

Re: Men Of Harlech! Should the song be....
I din't realise it was that old. Music from 1794, words from 1830.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_of_Harlech
"National Anthem of the Ancient Britons", also known as "Woad" or "The Woad Ode", is a humorous song, set to the tune of "Men of Harlech". It first became popular in the 1920s as a song in the British Boy Scouts.
What's the good of wearing braces,
Vests and pants and boots with laces,
Spats or hats you buy in places
Down in Brompton Road?
What's the use of shirts of cotton,
Studs that always get forgotten?
These affairs are simply rotten:
Better far is woad.
Woad's the stuff to show, men.
Woad to scare your foemen:
Boil it to a brilliant hue
And rub it on your back and your abdomen.
Ancient Briton ne'er did hit on
Anything as good as woad to fit on
Neck, or knees, or where you sit on.
Tailors, you be blowed.
Romans came across the Channel
All wrapped up in tin and flannel:
Half a pint of woad per man'll
Dress us more than these.
Saxons, you can waste your stitches
Building beds for bugs in britches:
We have woad to clothe us, which is
Not a nest for fleas.
Romans keep your armours;
Saxons your pyjamas:
Hairy coats were meant for goats,
Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas.
Tramp up Snowdon with our woad on:
Never mind if we get rained or blowed on.
Never want a button sewed on.
Go it, Ancient Bs.

How many people are you stalking on the internet? You need to discuss this with your therapist at the next appointment.

Give over. There are plenty of f8cking things that have been confined to the dustbin of history....thank the gods. You're being a tad precious flower.
