Stop getting things slightly wrong. You're driving me batty.

I have honestly never come across it outside of the internet, and by that I mean these boards and stories linked to from it really. I've never heard anyone even discuss I don't think.

I have, but almost never with approval.

Roy Batty, lost like tears in rain

It's great but the david batty yorks one is better. They rarely reach those heights.

Pehaps, but I bet he isn't playing Cafe Oto tonight with Charlemagne Palestine.

Course he is.

I think the sudden interest in intersectional student politics in the national press is part of a general push to discredit left wing politics in general.

The time has come for anti-capitalists to break decisively with identity politics.

 

[DotCommunist]

sonourous. Not bad though. The vocals carry it.

BTW the latest Behind the News podcast discusses how 'safe space' talk is being used by university authorities in the US as justification for suppressing protest which is interesting.

BTW for anyone interested, and I think it touches on the subject that this thread is turning towards - the institutionalisation of 'intersectionality', his latest book about Hillary Clinton is on sale at orbooks, 20% off paperback and the e-book is only $1

Am I going to regret asking how this might be achieved?

Am I going to regret asking how this might be achieved?

By telling the exponents of identity politics to fuck off, basically.

The Brendan O'Neil method? That... erm. works.

Religions treatment of women glbt,unbelivers quitters should always be called and if its anything other than I feel sad for them but I can't do anything except pray for them.
Then fuck em.

Goldsmiths is an odd place isn't it? Maryam Namazie was speaking to the atheist society there on Monday night, which sparked a chain of events resulting in - among other things - the Goldsmiths Feminist Society putting out a statement 'standing with' the Islamic society against an ex-muslim feminist.

Goldsmiths ISOC fails to intimidate and silence dissenters

Fuckwits talk about turkeys voting for christmas

 

[Fozzie Bear]

"The Muslim hecklers repeatedly interrupted the early part of the talk, shouting 'safe space' and laughing."

Islamist students try to disrupt ex-Muslim Maryam Namazie’s talk on blasphemy at Goldsmiths University

 

[Wilf]

Declaring a 'safe space' has become like Reading the Riot Act or calling for a Batting Powerplay in the cricket. All normal rules will be suspended.

This baffling fusion of 'left' and 'right' won't end well for the Intersectionalistas. The right wing (of which I class Salafist nutjobs a part of) will always win out against liberal studenty types, who on the whole are too wet to recognise their enemy.

That vid is nearly two hours long

Has anyone watched it, prepared to summarise?

I got about 20 mins in and will try watch more this evening. It settles down after a few minutes messing from the lads.

Pretty disgusting behaviour from the ISOC in evidence in that video, the Feminist Society there are clearly idiots.
