Weev got to do something about these Nazis.

For we have promises to keep, and Miloes to go before we sleep. . .

Am I imagining it, but didn't she buy Tommy Robinson a steak dinner once?

I think it went on expenses, but yes.

I reckon her mate Crabapple is genuinely ashamed of the weev carry on, I don’t think she’s gone to the lengths she did to erase all past traces of her friendship with him online over money.....it’s just a shame she couldn’t come out and say she fucked up as any of the- as far as I can see- positive work she’s done since then will always be coloured by it. I totally get how younger people can get involved with people who they think are launching satire at the liberal left/right and it can take a while to realise nah, actually they are just dealing with fascists. She probably went through a period of denial too cause she’d become mates with him. Humour even on urban ten years ago was pretty near the line. Penny though, not so sure about her. She’s deliberately and obviously lied about shit so many times.

That’s my empathy hat on for tonight don’t shoot me

I'm proud of Proletarian Democracy (you've probably never heard of it).

Incidentally I was surprised to find the creators of the eye injuring intersectionalist heavy blog Athoooosandflooooers sharing PD stuff, so I’ve heard of it twice!

 

[seventh bullet]

Nah, the 'never heard of it ' bit was an in-joke re Penny and PD reportage of the student movement in Chile. Soz!

Aye workers girder “chile, you’ve probably never heard of it”

What am I missing?

I think athousandflowers shared the board game, or something, I admit my memory is shit

Nothing, that was it!

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I know! Hahahaha

My anecdote re the ATF sharing the PD stuff was superfluous humouf

 

[LDC]

Claire Fox of RCP/Living Marxism/Spiked and now the Brexit Party on Novara Media tonight with Bastani.

 

[ska invita]

Doesn't really belong on this thread, but does anyone know what all the Nina Power drama is about?

Theres quite a bit of discussion about it on the industrial music & fascism thread, recent pages.

 

[killer b]

Not sure where else to put this. Incredible stuff. The brain worms seem to be infecting everyone.

That's from a while back isn't it? I've definitely seen it, but not recently.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Blimey

I've not seen it before.

Lisa's facing a bit of a shit storm on twitter right now about something else.

 

[Brainaddict]

Is it that surprising? Class War have often got an easy ride on here but they always seemed to me to be into class as an identity. If you assume that parliamentary politics doesn't matter and therefore the political distinctions between Phillips and Corbyn don't matter, but working class identity does matter, then it's a logical position.

I dunno, someone shared it this morning.

she created that particular shitstorm tbf

 

[chilango]

I dunno, someone shared it this morning.

Were their motives 'pure" in doing so?

Lisa has made a lot of enemies in the last couple of days.

 

[chilango]

she created that particular shitstorm tbf

Maybe.

Point being she's a bit "busy" tweeting in that to be posting the quoted tweet right now.

Doesn't alter the content, might alter the context.

*shrugs*

I have no skin in this. I find her sociology stuff useful though.

 

[killer b]

Are anyone's motives pure? Who cares. I'd imagine whoever shared it did so because she's been shrieking all over the internet for the last 24 hours, as context. Fair enough.

The venom that has come out on Twitter tonight has truly shocked me. The left are truly finished. I have real fear in my heart of what is going to happen to all working class people in the UK in the next 5 years.

she is right though, most working class people wouldn't put Palestine in their top 5 of daily problems, though there are plenty who do care about it, anyway she has suspended her twitter account, another voice silenced.

actually reading her twitter page, she seems to have declared war on the London liberal left

She may be right that working class people don't prioritise Palestine, but the whole row started when she attacked an anti-racist occupation at Goldsmith's - which is in part about the withdrawal of a bursary for Palestinian students - for flying the Palestinian flag. I'm not surprised she got cunted off.
