Alex Callinicos/SWP vs Laurie Penny/New Statesman Facebook handbags

[ViolentPanda]

Not sure what the first para means.

She won't. Like Toynbee, she has to be outside for the effect of being an independent radical voice to work.

And i still think she believes this shite she writes. The problem is that she thinks she's bakunin when she's actually Sarah Teather/articul8.

Ouch.

Neither American Apparel nor Russia Today but International Pepperism

[ViolentPanda]

Rubbish. Everybody on the left knows that workers wear Docs and bomber jackets.

Nope, that's Skins.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Proper retro workers wear donkey jackets, anyone who went to an SWP meeting in the 80s knows that.

Donkey jackets and Monkey boots or Docs.

Or, if you're a faux-retro worker selling copies of Socialist Worker, garishly-coloured Kickers.

 

[butchersapron]

Sorry, I just spoilt your gag

You've just made a very vexatious enemy my friend.

 

[Bakunin]

Penny for your thoughts.

That's what she offers. Then she recycles your thoughts and personal experiences, claims them as being entirely hers and flogs them in fifth-rate 'journalism' at a fiver a word.

 

[ViolentPanda]

No skins were workers.

Did I say that?
I surely did not!

Whereas you, my fine young friend, made a post that implied that all workers wore bomber jackets.

Bitter?
I am!

Camila Vallejo and communist party cmbbes on a Chile telly chat show being subjected to a comedy tribute tune. When will we see Laura (inveterate instigator and voice of lost generation) Owen (left wing firebrand) and O'Hagan (...) on Norton?

Anyone going to the totally nagasaki Vice tenth anniversary party tonight?

As one breathless blogger (who also, incidentally, "work at VICE Magazine and [is] a freelance music and beauty journalist and aspiring video presenter... [&] also do[es] a bit of djing") puts it:

The cunts attending that.

 

[el-ahrairah]

not even andrew wk can save that.

 

[butchersapron]

This, rather than the bullshit about bankers and so on, is the real crime of a (temporary) financial-capital dominance. These little shits get to do what they want for decades on end.

It's meant to be read in your 20s and 30s and if from a family who can support you for a fair while.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i don't think even vice know anymore. i think it's meant to be read by a knowing, savvy audience who don't engage with traditional brands and ways of thinking, but see themselves as outside of the bllluadgha ruwgnmpawhtmpc;sa fwgn[wrhhawraramhmvtrTVNmassive fucking BELLENDS

 

[TruXta]

Some of their docus are mildly entertaining, never even seen the magazine.

Sounds about right.

The cultural-shit

I head upstairs for a cultural shit every fortnight when my LRB pops through the letterbox

 

[butchersapron]

Long time to wait mind. Saves on the bogroll though.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Strong, shiny paper that stands a quick rinse, so it lasts a good week before you start running into trouble.

 

[butchersapron]

That's the problem with kindles- it gets stuck in the corners.

You want to get an iPad - smoothed out edges and a wipe-clean screen. Just watch out for foreign objects getting stuck in your jack socket.
