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

I had them when I was doing a detox once - it was the aftertaste I couldn't handle - like sucking on a lump of copper.

It's not so much the all pervasive culture of brocialism as jealous socially inadequate swappy males denouncing me as a misogynist if I cop off with a lass

Misogynist!!!

 

[equationgirl]

No smoke without fire, though.

Meaning what, exactly?

 

[DotCommunist]

So spiney isn't a racist anymore? what the fuck- I looked up to him as an ubermenschen example of strong white pride and now it turns out he was never that into racism anyway?

This is worse than learning about how Gamesmaster stole christmas.

 

[frogwoman]

Somebody needs to do a downfall parody about Hitler discovering Spiney isn't racist

 

[bluestreak]

There are alternatives available between the extremes of cultural relativism and xenophobia.

and we're back to the broad church of Don't Be A Dick. Come join us. We are many, and we've got a pot luck buffet...

 

[Nice one]

For information, she assures me that she has never had a trust fund.

technically working class

CLASS POWER!

 

[bluestreak]

It's 5 hours behind, not ten. It's 10am there, 'very early' my arse.

it's not my revolution if i can't sleep in on the weekend.

 

[DotCommunist]

I don't know where to turn anymore. Spiney is now officially not a big racist, patrick moore is dead, all the books about hitler slag him off. Where now? we are in undiscovered country. It is a new dawn.

I know a guy (a former and quite possibly even current poster here) who was expelled from the SWP for ''coppıng off wıth a lass'' at a socıal event.

How do they reproduce?

[Athos]

Meaning what, exactly?

Meaning that, by slandering Spiney in the first place, the harm is done, notwithstanding that it is somewhat ameliorated by her subsequent withdrawal. I think I could have expressed it better with "mud sticks." Certainly didn't mean to imply there's any doubt about Spiney. Apologies to anyone who read it that way.

is it the angle or has Neville decided to sport the same tash as Adolf

Spiney said the same words you did shortly after Laurie Penny called him a racist.

 

[frogwoman]

Shall we all be racist now Father?

It's a dialectical process comrade

[Ronnie Rubashov]

I'm not racist and wednesday are 1-0 up. It doesn't get much better than this

You're still a misogynist though, yeah?

 

[love detective]

So according to Penny and in the eyes of her 55,000 followers, SpineyNorman has apologised to her

 

[SpineyNorman]

2-0 now!

 

[DaveCinzano]

A self-serving non-apology apology from a proven dissembler, a class enemy and a professional narcissist - better than a slap in the face? Please bang out 1,500 words by 6pm, usual rates apply.

 

[SpineyNorman]

So according to Penny and in the eyes of her 55,000 followers, SpineyNorman has apologised to her

Pretty much yeah. I've got rid of the racist accusations though so I'm calling it a win.

 

[SpineyNorman]

You're still a misogynist though, yeah?

Everyone already knew that though so I'm not that arsed

 

[rekil]

Another lie for the collection but no proof of this one. Clever. Disgusting but clever.

 

[SpineyNorman]

'M' news:

A friend has phoned the police in Northhants (where he's from) but no word as yet. His emails were really quite distressing. It seems like he lives with his mum and stepdad, though, so at least he isn't alone.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Has she also unblocked you, SN?

 

[DaveCinzano]

The cleverest lie in a very disgusting litany.

'M' news:

that isn't quite what i expected. should've posted 'this is what i thought might happen, and hoped wouldn't'

A friend has phoned the police in Northhants (where he's from) but no word as yet. His emails were really quite distressing. It seems like he lives with his mum and stepdad, though, so at least he isn't alone.

why on earth did she get a friend to make the call?
'living with your mum and stepdad' doesn't mean an automatic support network

i'm full of lurgy at the minute, and woke up this afternoon in a thrashy sweat, after dreaming that LP had managed to get a job as a support worker where i work, after threatening to sue if she wasn't offered the post (discrimination over her lack of privilege, and did we not see how well she dealt with that reader?). get out of my head, penny red

 

[DotCommunist]

In Northants you are always alone
