Urban v's the Commentariat

[DotCommunist]

Carole Cadwalladr is doing a very good impression of a conspiraloon type at the moment.

as if the liberal russian hysteria (AKA dems miss the cold war)was ever going to stay hosed in the direction of the right. Its twelve degrees of separation stuff isn't it. Seamus Milne shared a coffee with etc

This man has no apparent knowledge of political history. That headline...



Our politicians once told the truth, now voters are treated as children | Nick Cohen

funny that...
when Blair was lying through his teeth about why there needed to be a war with Iraq he became one of the the liars biggest cheer leaders while labelling all opposed to the war as being fascist sympathisers.

Don't worry there's a government funded think-tank that will make something up and attribute it to you.

Secret Scottish-based office led infowars attack on Labour and Jeremy Corbyn

How A Murky Row Over Russia, Jeremy Corbyn And A 'Psyops Campaign' Went Mainstream

The main evidence of this 'infowars attack on Labour and Corbyn' seems to be a tweet to a link of a Katerji new statesman article, the essence of which has been discussed on here many times. I suspect that Williamson getting caught cosying up to the wretched Beeley has something to do with it. Another case of people who should know better getting mugged by loons.

Thanks for that - interesting stuff. Should have had a dig before posting it tbh...

KittySJones has a take on this as well:

Authoritarian UK government is funding military grade psyops to smear and calumniate HM’s opposition

what would the Williamson / Beeley ( one tweet afaik) love-in have to do with any of this ?

I could be wrong but I think it was a nothing story until Williamson went on RT's 'Going Underground' show at the end of last month to talk it up breathlessly, then the papers picked it up shortly afterwards. He and the entire Beeley loonsphere have been banging on about it non stop since then. I expect they see it as a vindication of all the nonsense they pump out. And just because we've only seen that one tweet where Williamson endorses Beeley at the Levellers shitshow, it doesn't mean they're not in regular communication. They follow each other on the twitter machine so who knows what's going on there. This doesn't really belong in this thread does it.

This could go on various threads but with this I think JK Rowling has earned herself a place on this thread. Brace yourselves.

That's some deeply strange and self-aggrandising shit (is she supposed to be Christ in this?). She's gone badly wrong somewhere along the way

I'd say it was the FBPE brainworms, but tbh she's always been a cock

He has apparently just suggested that Rachel Riley of all people is involved in a shadowy coordinated campaign against him/Williamson/Corbyn operating 'through WhatsApp groups and backchannels'. Are Countdown and 8 Out Of 10 Cats fronts for coded instructions from Soros?

I did just now see Rachel Riley tweeting some batshit stuff about him mind

Riley's dismal, and the whole thing is pretty synched up - fuck her / Jeremy Duns etc, utter w*nkers

The doctor left himself wide open for this treatment by ganging up with loons. He has an out of control ego and seems besotted by the prospect of having some proximity to power in a labour government. No marks like Duns and the like are irrelevant and don't change that.

I smell an article coming on.

#FBPE glitterati flaunting their disaster stockpiling

I remember when only right wing loons got into the whole ''prepper" scene.

Then again I also remember when it was only right wing loons who spunked all over the EU, advocated censorship of other peoples' words, shat the bed over Russian conspiracies, obsessed themselves with becoming 'racially-conscious', argued for the separation of cultures, endlessly policed others' sexuality, made arguments like "well a private company can do what they want", and cheered on wars designed to civilise 'backwards' countries.

Guess I'm just getting old.

 

[Theisticle]

Bastani has his PhD research questioned by Jeremy Duns, who, ordinarily, I try to avoid, but he raises some serious concerns about Bastani’s research methods. The email exchanges are certainly something.

 

[killer b]

Bastani is a total whopper who's removal from left wing prominence can't come sooner, but it shouldn't be at the hands of these vermin.

 

[Theisticle]

Fuck Duns tbh. But someone has gone through Bastani’s PhD and found, what they claim, is academic plagiarism, which is much worse:

 

[killer b]

I don't give a shit about bastani's phd, and neither should you.

 

[Plumdaff]

Bastani is a total plum but the criticisms of his PhD are piss weak and are largely more revealing of the critics' complete ignorance of social science qualitative research methods. Some of them were calling shenanigans on the basis of not knowing what a DPhil is.
