Urban v's the Commentariat

Saw that and stuck it in the search box but nothing turned up. Lost in the great board outage/post cull a while back or more of LP's accurate quoting? Oh, hang on, I don't give a shit.
It might be two posts in one but “hang Laurie Pennie” was butchersapron
 
I spent years studying and working hard and mum and dad spent much money, so that I can HAVE OPINIONS AND PUBLISH THEM and if you object to anything I say you're just a MEAN OLD MISOGYNIST like the whole internests because I'm A VERY IMPORTANT WOMAN with important opinions.

Not such a long read. And self-pity is so radical.
 
One notes that she doesn't put the Urban quote in context, or mention her traducing of some longstanding Urbanites as racists on absolutely no evidence but her journalist nous. Poor Laurie, forever the victim, if such a public school, elite university, doors-opened-for-her type can be classed as a victim.
She was only trying to explain things so that we'd lay off - nothing to do with her claiming we were all misogynists, or her promotion of weev, or her erroneous racism accusations.

It was all us.
 
Bastani is the worst thing about Novara, he's politically all over the shop, and watching/listening to him sometimes makes me think he's losing the plot a bit. His ego seems to be a bit out of control too, him and Walker as a double act are painful to watch.
 
It's pretty low of Laurie Penny to bring an urb who's passed away up as evidence of how hard done by she has been. I almost felt sorry for until I got to that bit.
Was duped into having another look to see where that was and seen this:

That childlike belief in a natural limit to human malice is perhaps the most tenuous thread of privilege, because I can’t help noticing how many of those who have lived through years of abuse and still hold it are middle-class white girls, like me.

Oh my god fuck off!

Oh I dunno, he's pretty consistent if you factor in that he's aiming to eventually become an MP.
 
Nothing. I was contrasting his correct position on mural crankery with his Murray endorsement which amongst other things is indicative of how he's somewhat more aligned with the loonosphere than he realises.

fairplay - I need to get better understanding of the heat vs Murray ( ie : spend more than 2 mins looking into it ) - but it's hard not to see his scepticism re: the whole Skirpal affair as understandable, given how the story's unfolding now .

Criado-Perez, Ditum, Lewis - all dreadful anti-left/anti-working class, Labour 'moderates'/centrist liberals. Ditum supportively retweeted Rafael Behr backing an article by Dan Finkelstein the other day. I despair.
 


Mr. Phd in social movements seems to have forgotten that just over 3 months ago in Iran, 20+ people were killed, hundreds were arrested, and the tories and Labour both said shit all. If memory serves, he pooh-poohed the whole brouhaha by sharing a bizarre taxi driver claim that the protests were motivated by people's lack of desire for frozen chicken.
 
Paul Mason is he actually a human or has he been replaced by a some sort of robot?

"Labour said no to Iraq,no to Vietnam"



The Labour party initiated action in Iraq.
The Labour party did not oppose Vietnam only opposed British service personnel action in Vietnam.
During the period of the war, military collaboration and weapon transfers to the United States increased.
