Yep. She wrote airport books for women in the 90s, became a Tory MP, then quit to start a failed Twitter clone called Menshn with a business partner who turned out to be a paedophile, and now she's the guiding light of the resistance.

She's a perfect case study in failing upwards, basically.
She was also selected for a committee to investigate the phone hacking scandal back in 2011 and then proceeded to wear kiddie gloves when interrogating Rupert Murdoch and his son, attempted to exonerate them in the final report and apparently leaked them information from private meetings with said committee. I'm pretty sure she worked for them in some capacity after resigning too. My personal favourite though is that she got into an internet fight with a 17 year old girl and definitely lost.

Mensch probably the logical conclusion of a modern day British politician; politics is just a stepping stone into something more lucrative, its all just a bit of a laugh so don't worry about the consequences, you can stop any time if you feel that its impeding your career. And shes another damning indictment against the level of education that elites receive in our country, because she went to private school and Oxbridge and yet is profoundly stupid and talentless at writing, even by the standards of right wingers.

Dopethrone has one of my favorite drum tones ever but that album also just sounds extremely different from anything else in their discography despite being the same kind of music (the vocals are distorted and the guitar and bass are as fuzzy as humanly possible).

She just tells them what they want to hear regardless of the veracity of the claims.


Which makes me wonder why there haven't been more liberal versions of Consevative Patriot Eagle Freedom Misguided Children Liberty Tribune or w/e Facebook groups peddling bullshit for grieving libs. With all of the money there was in "POPE ENDORSES TRUMP" poo poo you'd think they'd be popping up like weeds with all of the anger at Trump.

Most of the people I associate with are standard liberals or apolitical so I'd assumed I would've seen them by now but maybe now. That stuff might be contained to Twitter for now.

I think it's way easier to sell this bullshit when your party is out of power. I think liberals turning to people like Mensch and Garland (and those people getting fame if not fortune online) is just going to launch the next generation of huxsters. I wouldn't be surprised if you eventually see people like Cernovich, Ian Miles Cheong and Milo suddenly renounce their alt right ways and go anti-trump if the audience and money's there. I mean, they've done it before.

The outright fake news peddlers operating during the election tried it on liberals and it largely didn't stick, but there's a sizable chunk who are now much more open to that sort of manipulation. Trump's election utterly broke the brains of a lot of normally reasonable people and they desperately want to believe it didn't actually happen. The disordered thinking I'm seeing in Louise Mench/Claude Taylor devotees sort of mirrors the birther mindset in that they think there's some technicality lurking out there that will magically reverse the chain of events causing them so much mental anguish.

Yea I think of the listed CHUD baiters he's probably benefited the most from the change in right wing mainstream discourse since I think he had less an already existing base like the Milos and Mikes of the world but at the end of the day he's just another idiot who knows that if he keeps saying "LIBERALS??? THE REAL RACISTS????" the CHUD crowd will keep horking and clapping like seals.

In addition to flip flopping on gamergate apparently he was pretty lovely at running his games site, Gameranx. He hired a lot of women to write for the site but basically forgot to pay them or paid them late, treated them like poo poo while they did most of the work.

Mensch has admitted that she suffers long-term mental health issues from former drug abuse, and Garland said he wrote his signature essay while blitzed on alcohol and Adderall. These sensible, pragmatic moderates are being led around by people who are chemically out of their minds.
