Religion is okay, so long as it is like, Latin-only Trad Cath, Monarchist crazyness that pays a lot of lip-service to being the basis of Western Civilization, that hates everything that happened after the French Revolution. You know--the really anti-Semitic kind that Mel Gibson's dad likes. Those guys are allowed to be 2% of the total Dark Enlightenment vote.

No of course you don't.

I haven't really followed Amy Schumer's show apart from the odd sketch but I thought she was relatively decent? Seems she's blocking people criticising that rear end in a top hat though so I have a feeling she's going on The Naughty List.

She might just not want to deal with it at the moment. The guy's tweets kind of seem like a manic episode when you consider the time of day. It's possible he's got something wrong with him and she already knows.

Its general secretary, Jamie Patel, used his brief speech to announce that "cultural Marxists have hijacked the country's institutions", and that "any attempt to celebrate British history" is silenced by political correctness.  Why can't I celebrate the glorious Zulu war like I've always wanted/

I don't generally like the parts of Vice that aren't Motherboard since it's usually some edgy "we did heroin while skydiving over the syrian war" bullshit but that article is actually pretty well-written and researched and "gets" it, good for you Vice.

quote:The Young British Heritage Society has big plans; they want to set up chapters in every British university – but it's not really clear what any of them will actually do, beyond meeting in a pub once a week and appreciating the logical, rational whiff of their communal farts. But most of the people I spoke to in the audience weren't there to support the YBHS at all, but to marvel over the event's keynote speaker, the "gay conservative provocateur" Milo Yiannopoulos. mic drop

Eh, given that places like Buzzfeed and CNN get to call themselves "serious news agencies," I'm okay with those sort of trashy stories. Besides it's sometimes fun to watch/read things like "we taught Syrian rebels how to play Mario Kart"

Eh His output for Vice has been above his usual standards, but for the most part he's a really disingenuous sophist who squeaks by via the thinkpiece equivalent of clappy humor, in that his articles aren't so much written to advance a position or argue a point as to make certain people snarl and certain people feel good they're not the snarling people.

My favorite was a while ago when he wrote a big article defending loving comment sections on newspaper articles as being full of handsome intelligent wonderful people who are being silenced by the PC police. Like in order to reconcile defense of internet comment sections as smart with his huge ego and self-image of genius swarthy philosopher who's just too real for the world the man must be entirely comprised of 99.5% pure cognitive dissonance.

He does and is whatever keeps him in the limelight and (more importantly) out of the line of fire. The contradictions are there simply as an artifact of his willingness to do and be whatever will get him a bunch of likes right now, never mind previous positions. His current role is as the Republican Gay Best Friend, who exists primarily to tell them that it would be okay for them to say "oval office" and "human being" if only the PC Police weren't keeping their freedom of expression under evil lockdown. Also to be the token flaming, woman-hating stereotype gay.

What gets me is how hard people rattle their sabres at PC culture these days. It's strange because there aren't the same boundaries to push like Geroge Carlin did here in Milwaukee a number of decades ago for example. Fighting PC culture is good and all if you really must but for so many people it's just that they wanna say friend of the family or call women cunts. You're not really fighting the power anymore, you just want the right to be lovely and not be called lovely.

"How dare you call me a bad person for saying something horribly racist! PC oppression! DAE white males are the real oppressed minority???" Also I haven't read the thread (surprise) or more than a few dozen (!!!) of Yudkowsky's articles, but why is he listed among a bunch of regressive crypto-Nazi shitbags? He's a weird cult figure and the LW hivemind is pretty loving silly sometimes, but he's never come across to me as a weird eugenicist or "racial realist" or whatever. The OP quote seems like it might be referring to his quest to define "intelligence" in a way amenable to AI.

If he were a more practical thinker, I think he would be more of a dark enlightenment type, but he sticks to the clouds and keeps his boots clean. However as a Slate Star Codex reader/quoter, he will still get his turn at the guillotine when the great P C S J W revolution comes.
