Milo Yiannoupoulis banned!

wasn't at all suggesting that 'none of it means anything'. I've got some idea of what its like to get virulent race hate stuff on twitter and don't in any way think it can be excused by saying its ok they don't really mean it. The sincerity of people like this Milo, or of Trump, or Farage even, is probably a moot point anyway, it's the troops of enthusiastic followers who do the work.
I wasn't accusing you :) I was arguing against the Penny quote you highlighted which I find pretty pathetic and self serving.
 
I didn't think the Penny piece was bad but just because somebody puts on a performance, particularly if that performance actually includes "being a performer", doesn't mean that they have no beliefs or positions.

It's obvious that MY changes the fine details of his act as and when he feels like it, but what is consistent is that he cultivates the appearance of someone who would do that, someone who completely gives no fucks, and that's a deliberate image, maybe one he believes himself to an extent. The Penny piece doesn't seem to get that "amoral hedonistic showman" is an act too. Certainly MY has a definite arc to his career and the positions that he's a showman about aren't going to be accidental.

Milo has a sock account @Zarking_Photon. I suggest anyone that cares about how this vile cunt, along with his lackey Sargon of Akkad, harass people (currently harassing Kristi Winters by means of 'discussing' 'asian pussy'), continue to behave like cunts should complain to twitter. I just did. Personally I'd shoot the pair of them, but I'm far too liberal.

EDIT Apparently it's not him

How sad that he's already back on twitter. Wait not sad, pathetic.

About 5 seconds of browsing the tweets.

If you can't see that, then it's a bit clearer why you can't understand how people keep working out your previous identities on here.
Cute, I asked a question. You've behaved like a dick. Who's got the moral high ground here?

I don't have a previous identity. How many fucking times?

Since this all started with that Butchersapron guy, he should know that, as someone who's spent the last few months looking to get involved with groups like afed and solfed and others in Bristol, where he lives, they were quite interested, being familiar with this site, in his attitude toward other people. They don't take kindly to cyberbullying, and neither do I. I asked after him because I had made it clear that I would not consider joining a group that tolerated members like that.

I joined this site because I thought it was a reasonably safe space for like minded people. How sad that people who profess to be involved in class politics are just as unpleasant at those they criticise.
 
Logic isn't your strong point I see.
All I have tried to do is help you and all you have responded with is abuse. I now see you have edited in personal information about another poster. All this while claiming the "moral high ground".

You're at least as bad as that Milo.

You were contributing to this ridiculous air of suspicion. That's not helping people and it's dishonest to call that trying to be helpful, and if you think anything i've said is comparable to the harassment of people practiced by Milo then you're a troll.

Just what the world needs - another 'safe space' idiot. Tell you what - if you want a safe space why don't you wrap yourself up in cotton wool and go hide in a corner somewhere. The last thing you should be doing is going on the internet because, horror of horrors, you might find people who don't agree with you.
 
- There is no "suspicion"
- Don't lecture me on dishonesty
Don't be dishonest then. Do I need to quote what you said not ten minutes ago?

If you can't see that, then it's a bit clearer why you can't understand how people keep working out your previous identities on here.

You are being deliberately disingenuous: if you aren't suspicious then you would fully understand the reason I can't 'understand' is because it's not true.

But you don't believe that, that much is obvious.

Disagreements are not the problem.
 
Fortunate that i did then, isn't it
You did, I apologise.

Long version; Milo Yiannopulos had his verified status revoked by Twitter early this year, causing some of his disciples to protest by creating (or updating existing) accounts in his name. The one you posted is one of those, it's obvious by the completely different posting style. I don't "suspect" this is the case.
 
I think the honest piece for Laurie Penny to write would have been a comparison with that guy Weev - whome she feted as a 'notorious prankster' and compared to Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange. She then realised he was an ideological antisemite and made a sort of reverse-ferret, but having been taken in buy him she might have been in a good position to examine why such figures are attractive and attract followers of a sort in turn. She dropped Weev when she realised he was serious, Milo isn't serious and that's 'weaponised insincerity' which sounds pretty bad alright, but she's still saying he's a nice guy underneath it all really. Just seems a confused piece where it's more about snappy phrase-making creating a gonzo sheen than a serious investigation or discussion.

I still refuse to believe that Penny didn't know what weev was about when she wrote that article. He was 'famous' for was being a nasty racist bullying prick and she was familiar enough with his image to have known it. And if by some tiny chance she'd heard of him but wasn't aware of that, the tiniest bit of research (i.e. 5 seconds on google) would have shown it beyond any doubt.

What I think is, she thought she'd look cool hanging around with these hackers and internet rebels and was willing to overlook their views/actions for the sake of her image and it backfired.

Your last sentence is bang on in my view. Empty stuff.

It's like saying he is only doing it for the lulz...it's a shit excuse, she isn't stupid and has awareness of how that is convenient cover for real bigotry.

'I don't want to be his friend but he likes me' That scarily echoes the relationship between abuser and victim. She doesn't need to be around him. She makes it seem like she went for the story, I don't believe her. Fuck her.
