What's a bit funny is how "hosed up" has become a completely generic lexical placeholder for "I think this thing or state of affairs is bad, and surely, you must agree." Also, his analogy sucks, because the police have legal authority and violence powers. But we knew that.

Magneto is a Holocaust survivor trying to defend a hated minority from abuse, harassment, murder, and eugenics programs. He's a revolutionary and a radical, but not a reactionary in the slightest. That would be Colonel Stryker.

I'm trying to parse that but every time I try some part of my brain screams in terror, like understanding what he means will be the psychological equivalent of putting my hand on a hot stovetop. I've been sitting here trying to figure it out for about 20 minutes, and the only thing I can think of is it's like intersectionality but backwards. So you can be oppressed as a white person or a man, but being oppressed as a white man is more than the sum of those parts? Curvature of Earth posted:
To be fair, the anti-authoritarian anarchist is probably not a self-described reactionary. But he's also an anti-authoritarian claiming Magneto was right sooooooooooooo Patrick Spens has a new favorite as of 07:43 on Oct 9, 2015 |

For those people who don't read children's books like I do, "Magneto Was Right" was a thing from Grant Morrison's run on "New X-Men" and was basically Che t-shirts for rebellious mutant teenagers. It was meant to be stupid and tasteless and seeing anybody use it unironically is hysterical.Patrick Spens posted:Borges? It seems like so far Borges has occupied the same kind of space as Foucault and the semioticians and the like, all of which seem to be anathema to self-described rationalists etc. They get misinterpreted by idiots on the other side of the spectrum instead.

https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/606310421260300288 Feminists don't understand intersectionality because they don't care about black men being raped in prison. I mean I, personally, have seen feminists bring up prison rape as a serious issue many times, but I guess that doesn't count because I don't know, grrr Sarkeesian.

So that means the guy is totally in favour of ending the war on drugs, privatisation of prisons and the unjust incarceration of black men right? Just like when MRAs bring up that males have more workplace deaths and it means they're totally pro Unions and in favour of better workers rights, yeah?

Silver2195 posted:I thought Borges was pretty right-wing in his personal political views. It's not about the writer's political views themselves, it's about the intellectual space the writer's ideas take up. I've always felt that the core of Borges' writing has been about maps versus territories (although this is certainly completely debatable), which is the same general sort of intellectual space occupied by post-structuralists, semioticians, etc. All of this kind of thinking (from Borges to Baudrillard) is dismissed out of hand by the kinds of people this thread writes about because the idea that they might not actually be describing objective reality with their language would be terrifying to them if they let it get close.

It's been a while since I read the conclusion to Morrison's run but I know he went completely batshit at the end of it. Magneto, not Morrison, although it can be argued that Morrison is in a permanent state of batshit.

His law school friends show up in the comments - apparently he was known at law school as a weird but OK guy, very very smart but very very weird. His accent is apparently half a put-on. A southerner trying to go mid-Atlantic for pomposity, and the result being nearly as awful as when an Australian tries an American accent or an American tries an Australian accent. Invictus is not NRx as such, although he and Rachel Haywire did exchange mutual admiration on Twitter.

His love of Rome and the fact that he is a lawyer reminds me of someone who posted in the Roman/Greek Ask/Tell thread several years ago. Dude was convinced that the "Old Ways" were superior to modern life and that he would have been an aristocrat under the old Roman system. I wonder if they are the same person.
