Do you guys think Laurie Penny's opinion would be so significant if she wasn't a pretty young woman?


Her opinion isn't significant but unfortunately it is cited as being the official voice of the dissident in her generation. I am not sure how her attractiveness comes into that but being a woman will give her an insight into somethings more than it would if she was an old man. Also her class, peers and public school arrogance and confidence (that UMC trait) equally blinds her and she wears hats indoors.

There should be less public school educated people in the media and in politics.

It's a cunts name. I also suspect you of being a returning banned poster or something because it's clearly a troll's name too.


This is my only account. You can take my word on that (for what it's worth).

Well why don't you go and grass him up to the teacher or put him on ignore?

It is a username, a stupid one at that. Get over it, wallflower. If he turns out to be fash or a troll he'll sharp hang himself as is the way.

Yeah man, don't you know about postmodernism? Words don't actually mean stuff. You can use them however you want man...

Don't you think that people who are targets of fascists might feel uncomfortable posting on a forum where people have fascist names?
 
I don't think anyone is going to be afraid of posting to U75 because someone has the username OswaldMosley no. If the username offends your delicate sensibilities so much then put him on ignore or if you think he's a returner be a grass. Up to you, init.

E2A:

No point in getting worked up about it because RWs and fash always end up putting their head in the noose themselves.

It doesn't offend me. Did I say I was offended? What is this 'offence' category. I said it was a cunts name and it is. I have explained why. I think the poster should change it. But it's a political position on the use of language, not 'offence'.
 
i don't think he "should" change it,but he'd be a bit stupid not to. i'm not sure he's fash just think he thought he'd try and be controversial and it backfired.
 
I once defended a friend from racist abuse. I was badly beaten up and my friend didn't intervene but I'm still glad I stood up for him.
 
Posting on this bulletin board, with that name, you must have expected/wanted to provoke a reaction; to say otherwise marks you out as dishonest or stupid. So either you're getting what you want, or you're a liar or a fool.

Didn't think about it. Needed a name, thought this was humorous. Can't believe so many of you are getting arsey about it.
