Urban v's the Commentariat

[newbie]

a proposition was put forward, it's been batted back and forth, assertion and counterassertion made, and the bones picked over. If you believe the entire discussion stands or falls on the 'facts' of a specific 'objective' test based on that article then go ahead and prove it to your own satisfaction. Anyone else wishing to do so can read the same article, reach their own conclusions.

That really doesn't require my input. It's not my vocabulary or my comprehension that's at issue here yet the proposed test relies on me suggesting that some particular word or phrase is problematic, so providing another opportunity for people (many for whom wordsmithery is stock in trade) to say we know what that means, it's simple, you must be stupid. Hiding to nothing sfaics.

All this because you got caught out talking bollocks about something you haven't read. It would have been easier if you'd just held your hands up tbf.

 

[newbie]

I've been reading bits & pieces the bloke's written for decades. For the umpteenth time the observation that an American Professor only works as a 'gateway' for a tiny minority of British teenagers isn't about me.

 

[Bakunin]

Yes, we wouldn't want to confuse the issue with facts.

The commentariat seldom mix the two, after all.

   @mollycrabapple @brassiest Very Der Stürmer-esque. I'm not sure that racist caricatures are going to work to distance you from a Nazi.

... the response made me chuckle a bit, have to say. Crabapple defending herself from accusations that she glorified 'Weev' by painting him sympathetically, argues that she is an equal opportunities iconographer.

Long but rather telling examination of the kind of crap research Owen Jones is seemingly guilty of http://www.jeremy-duns.com/blog/2014/10/18/owen-jones-and-how-how-he-gets-away-with-it

I'm not sure how much I like Duns, but he's very good at this stuff. His twitter feed is a constant source of joy.

To clarify: of the £8bn of controlled export licences under review £7.75bn is for commercial equipment, mostly cryptographic software to supply Israel's mobile phone networks.

Because of course, the Israeli military have no use for cryptography.

It's a newspaper comment writer's standard of research basically, isn't it? They all basically do it, and if you write a book like that and you've got the kind of politics that attract significant numbers of detractors you're likely to get "Fisked".

it's like reading an MRA website. self-entitled pricks. no solidarity with abused women. the right for men to say what they want and be protected from other people's opinions. demanding a patriarchal standard of proof of allegations. fuck em/

It has the usual accusations of "dividing the working class" as if other classes have less racism, sexism, etc. I find that really offensive & despise the idea that the WC is so riven with bigotted beliefs that any challenge to this behaviour threatens the whole movement.

That's nothing like reading any MRA sites I've ever seen.

I'll just retweet that to the Kurds in Kobane..

[J Ed]

Why are they bothering with those guns, don't they know about twitter and may-mays?

 

[butchersapron]

For all we know that dead beardie the HPG blokes are standing over might have seen one of taffboys memes and dropped dead.

 

[weepiper]

She said 'we'. Not those brown poor people.

 

[andysays]

...

Honestly, those Kurds are so last century.

I don't know why they don't follow Justine's advice and get themselves some decent memes. That would stop ISIS for sure...

Guns don't kill people, memes do
Get yourself on Twitter, woo woo woo

I somehow think my grandfather, when rather busily engaged with the German, Italian and Japanese Armies, would have preferred to stick with rifle and bayonet, personally,

We shall fight on the Tumblr. We shall fight on the Facebook groups. We shall fight in the like and in the tweets. We shall fight in the blogs. We shall never surrender.
