Urban v's the Commentariat

Ourselves alone?

Shut it, Chuckie!

just checked mine, still not a scion of a fascist family leading a neo-fascist party.

So this is life now Justine - a series of wind up statements on twitter. A life well lived.

 

[SpineyNorman]

Fucking hell, is that real?

 

[weepiper]

How about women hating on her? Is that ok? Because I'm happy to shoulder the burden of legitimately hating on Marine Le Pen on behalf of all you privileged male liberals.

 

[DotCommunist]

soon we will be told that the nickname 'Bitch of Buchenwald' is an inappropriate way to refer to Illse Koch...

on a side note I do find them lurid depictions of nazi women a bit off, like they are sensationalised just cos 'look, this person was an evil cunt- BUT ALSO FEMALE'

so the fuck what, who really has in their heads the idea of all women as a homogenous nice care-giving mother figure?

 

[rekil]

Very poor understanding of the psychology behind some terrorists/freedom fighters too. Some choose, from a basis of rationality rather than extremism, to do what they do.
She completely removes any agency from them, in effect making them puppets rather than active, engaged participants whose basis for action lies in "getting the story out" and creating political and economic tensions.

Opinion mongers are victims as well here, they're under such terrible pressure to react to events and bang out any old content asap.

Speaking of which, Marcos has checked his privilege and is OUT of the EZLN leadership. 800 words on what this means for the left and how it's hoped that his replacement will use an e-cig as a gimmick.

Can't help but feel partly responsible.

Laurie thug-shamed him into jacking it in.

Violent extremism entices those who long to lash out at a system they believe has cheated them, but lack they courage to think for themselves, beyond the easy answers they are offered by pedlars of hate.

Sorry, guys, but I'm not going back out there today. Really don't want to be arrested and deported just for leading an indigenous-proletarian-peasant rebellion against a multinational corporation-backed neoliberal state.

So it's a pisstake then.

 

[rekil]

If this isn't a call out, I dunno what is

They say out there that we haven’t achieved anything for ourselves.

It never ceases to surprise us that they hold on to this position with such self-assurance.

They think that the sons and daughters of the comandantes and comandantas should be enjoying trips abroad, studying in private schools, and achieving high posts in business or political realms. That instead of working the land and producing their food with sweat and determination, they should shine in social networks, amuse themselves in clubs, show off in luxury.

(no ambition)

Violent extremism always attracts the lost, the broken, young men full of rage at the hand they’ve been dealt. Violent extremism entices those who long to lash out at a system they believe has cheated them, but lack they courage to think for themselves, beyond the easy answers they are offered by pedlars of hate.

These men "lack the courage"? They aren't "brave"?
Why then they can't be REAL men!

Weird how this so openly reproduces the patriarchal assumptions that (I assume) it is trying to critique.

Mind you anyone who can write "pedlars of hate" is just another hack basically.

 

[Idris2002]

This has to be a piss-take, surely?

This has to be a piss-take, surely?

Got to be, no-one would say 'hating on' otherwise surely?

 

[Idris2002]

"pedlars of hate"

Come buy my hate!

Fresh hate for sale!

 

[chilango]

I've got a hate pedalo.

 

[butchersapron]

Vanzetti - only a poor pedlar of hate.

 

[Idris2002]

And she hated her hate barrow, through hates broad and narrow. . .

 

[co-op]

This has to be a piss-take, surely?

I just had a look at her twitter feed and I don't think so but I know nothing about twitter. She also tweeted

Justine Tunney ‏@JustineTunney
.@gabegaster I’m pointing out that Marine Le Pen is proof that feminists consider women secondary to the left-wing party line.

whereas ??"real" feminists give completely uncritical support to everything ever done by every woman ever? Or that feminism is finished or what?

 

[DaveCinzano]

Vanzetti - only a poor pedlar of hate.

Better a poor pedlar than a backpeddler

The door to door hate sales industry is due a comeback, riding a retro nostalgia wave. You cannot beat the personal touch.

It wouldn'tbe so bad if it wasn't so transparently "look at me, aren't I controversial!" behaviour, pretty much like Yiannopolos's Breitbart article about how Elliott Rodger wasn't a misogynist.
Sad middle-class dicks, the pair of them.

Tunney is a loon.

Thanks weeps, you're a mensch (and I mean that in a thoroughly non-sexist way)!!!
Frankly, though, I think I'll brave Ms Tunney's ire and resist checking my privilege with regard to believing that Marine Le Pen is a soulless hard-right piece of shit.

Bear in mind that in Nazi ideology, from the late '20s on, that's exactly how women in the Reich were viewed, hence the BDM and other "woman as mother and care-giver" organisations and ordinances.
