PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 80,000 WORD WALLACE AND GROMIT SLASH FICTION. PLEASE.

I think it was meant to be a joke on how they were moving on his turf by doing their own reading instead of letting him do it.

Or maybe he genuinely just needed a poo poo idk

edit: also genuinely impressed by Matt's knowledge of Northern Ireland and the troubles, something that most British people, even those who follow politics, know fuckall about

Also, I read a couple of Angela Nagle's essays for the Dublin Review of Books tonight. They're excellent - here she articulates the ideological distance between Catholic social justice teachings and Marxist thought, here she unfavorably reviews Laurie Pennie's book Cybersexism.

quote:

When we look at the major social media corporations, organisations Penny describes as “terrifying”, their platforms are not only dramatically more popular among women than the misogynist geek gutter but they have also enabled women to do something concrete to address the attacks. Leveraging their own profit motive against them, feminist campaigns have succeeded in getting Twitter and Facebook to take some measures to address extreme misogynist imagery and threatening behaviour.

Nagle's 2013 sounds nice haha

They joked about "awkward dinner parties" when he comes back, I got the impression that probably his parents know Katha Pollit socially or something.

Armed Struggle: A History of the IRA by Richard English is the best work I've read on the subject. Other works I've found rewarding - To Take Arms: A Year in the Provisional IRA by Maria McGuire, Watching the Door: Drinking up, Getting Down, and Cheating Death in 1970s Belfast, "The New Strategy of the IRA" by Cathal Goulding.

They essentially outline white nationalism and the problems with mass immigration. I think a good discussion topic if they were to ever meet with the chapo boys would be the validity of white identity or a white ethnostate. The Shoah guys I think would be down with this I gather from listening to their podcast. Chapo guys might need to tweak the debate guidelines somewhat but I think it would be both educational and lead to tons of laughs for both sides of such a debate was happening

But I think chapo audience is more interested in debating a fraud comedian who does nothing to challenge their world view. Which is ok. I am a fan of how chapo calls out memebers of the pundit class and it's pretty funny. The left seems to have a thing about not debating "nazis" even though almost no one self identifies as a nazi not even the historically group labeled as nazis. Pretty funny I think chapo and their fans being part of irony Twitter like to play into this idea.

even the nazis didn't call themselves nazis, which just proves that today's people who advocate the same ideas but don't call themselves nazis aren't the same.
