[Fis] Farewell Habermas

[Jason Hu]

Eric, very interesting, "Herschaftsfreie Communication" but you had actually
no chance to speak. I run into those situations too.

The fewer Marxists (old school or new school), the better off our world
would be. So let him RIP.

IMHO, Habermas, and all his fans, need some treatment in Gulags, or Chinese
version "Jiabiangou", to improve their cognition systems. I recommend this
documentary with English subtitles.

Anyone not seeing what I'm talking about, this one-hour video is definitely
worth your one hour of time.

Best regards - Jason
