How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
(Shrugs).
Ok, that makes a lot of things clear.

I wouldn't exactly call this a general audience.So questioning its use doesn’t make them precious then?
If someone's writing for a more general audience (assuming that was VirulentNeoCon's intention), it's important they keep that in mind and use appropriate language/terminology, no?
And it sounds like even Marxists have moved on with their language anyway.
I would. Certainly one where I'm not the only one unfamiliar with terms previously used in Marxist circles.I wouldn't exactly call this a general audience.
But surely whether anybody calls an 'underdeveloped' country backward or uses another, more sanitised term is the last of anybody's worries at this moment in time?
In the late 1970s, Richard Lynn of the University of Ulster went south of the border to old Dublin town, where he had invited himself to advise the minister of education on the implications of low Irish IQ measurements.
Essentially, Lynn said, by trying to educate Irish people the Irish government was throwing good money after bad, because they were trying to educate the ineducable. Therefore, he said, things like free second level education in Ireland would have to cease.
It is instructive to consider what would have happened had the Leinster House regime heeded this unsolicited advice.
If anyone fancies a thorough takedown (just over two and a half hours) of The Bell Curve, here's a video by Shaun
He just goes by Shaun: Shaun (YouTuber) - WikipediaI've started listening and it seems really good, a lot of work went into this. Who is Shaun?
last time he crossed my radar, it was cos Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal were claiming he was funded by the CIA
I think this is the offending video about Dore:I don't know much about Blumenthal (have heard the name) but Dore is a real creep.

May have done, I don't watch it so can't say either way. And yeah, Grayzone is dodgy as fuck, I can't say whether or not they've taken anyone's money or if they just deny genocide for the fun of it, but a pretty repugnant bunch either way. They get a few mentions over on the Vanessa Beeley thread, mostly from dedicated chronicler rekil.Didn't this feature on The Majority Report? Or am I thinking of something else.
And these Grayzone people, Blumenthal and Maté, there are lots of accusations in the air about their relationship to Assad, cover ups for genocide and taking money. Is there any truth to this?
The son of Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, he has admitted to accepting a free trip to Moscow, where he attended the same RT anniversary party in 2015 as U.S. General Michael Flynn — Trump’s former national security advisor is under investigation, in part, for failing to disclose he was paid $45,000 for his appearance . In Moscow, Blumenthal spoke on a panel, “InfoWar: Will there be a winner?” with Charles Bausman, editor of the website Russia Insider and the author of articles such as, “It’s Time to Drop the Jew Taboo.”
God, I'd briefly forgotten how he keeps going on Tucker Carlson's show every five minutes, which I suppose the OP of this thread must regard as a very good and important political development that must be encouraged at all costs.This Charles Davis piece covers the wretched wastrel Blumenthal's knobbery pretty well.
