gh0stpinballa posted:i always figured shitposting was online equivalent of someone in a pub chatting deliberate poo poo/nonsense in a funny way I actually found myself trying to figure out how I'd actually explain it to someone and that's close. I'd say politically it serves three purposes. 1. It's funny. 2. It's provcative. 3. It serves as a filter for whether someone is worth engaging with because of the former two. If you already understand the context, you can join in, and it's funny and a kind of bonding exercise. If you don't understand the context, the provocativeness may elicit interest and can segue well into an actual discussion. If you don't understand the context but really don't like the sound of it, you're probably not worth bothering with and it outs you as that sort early on. Generally I'd say a good example is when you state the conclusion of a political position without any of the working, so people who already understand it agree in equally unqualified terms and it forms a sort of in-joke, people who don't understand but are curious might ask for clarification which you can then expand into, while people who don't understand and don't want to understand just call you a filthy commie and save the hassle. I think it's actually a necessary part of dealing with the weird nature of social media whereby the audience is simultaneously everyone and also only people who already have an interest in the subject. You need a way to filter responses, and shitposting is a pretty effective one.

Trying to define shitposting in terms that aren't shitposting by themselves is a difficult task at best. Shitposting is intentionally posting incomprehensible nonsense that is known to be incomprehensible nonsense by the intended audience and where all the meaning is conveyed by oblique references to patterns of communication assumed to be previously witnessed by both. ... it's Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra -ing Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

since I last posted we have a new campaign organiser and, refreshingly, she's the first one I've seen that mentions there's canvas work for volunteers that doesn't involve doorknocking I hate doorknocking and I know a lot of people do, but neither keeping track of where you need to be or packing the bags just magically happen. It's important to include people with anxiety or anyone else that'll be more comfortable knowing they're in a safe space - personally, If I feel the need to be abused by boomers without being able to respond I'll do another shift as teller on polling day, where I can at least sit down and bare my teeth. Every single cog in the campaign machine is important, and we'll all be equally covered in blue blood when tory seats get fed into it!

Shitposting is just extremely online banter mixed with old school trolling, I never thought it was a particularly hard concept to grasp. An easy skill to learn but one that takes a lifetime to master. Creasing at that Laura K clip though (and the bodying she's getting in the replies from the aforementioned master shitposters); in a way it's a relief to know that these people are still so far off the mark. The minute a BBC journo responds to a tweet with a "much like your posting" is the day we all have to pack it in and start over again

Shitposting is definitionally not funny, it’s the fail state of good posting. Also all the extremely smart people making GBS threads on FF because he wrote an article called “the end of history?” in 1989 should probably read it (or the book: “the end of history and the last man”) just to double check that they haven’t lazily assumed it said something different to what they think it said. 1989 wasn’t exactly the peak of neo-liberal arrogance - IMO that’s more like 1999-2001. In 1989 the general reaction was “holy poo poo, we won the Cold War? Nice.”

Thanks folks. I was absolutely bricking it tbh but I knew what I wanted to say (though there were other things, I wanted to point out Watson is just one of 72 incumbents standing down and he cited personal reasons, compared with Austin who removed himself from the party before the party needed to) so I just kinda got on with it.Comrade Fakename posted:I missed QT (lol as if I would ever watch Question Time, I value my sanity), but by chance I have happened to be reading your tweets to Chris Stephens in 2017 as part of my Momentum research. Love your optimism that the SNP might support UBI. Chris is a god guy, long time trade unionist, socialist, etc etc. Matt Kerr is an exceptional candidate who I did vote for in 2017, and UBI has been one of his pet projects for a few years now, so I was mostly just trying to get Chris to move towards Matt's position on it, to make sure I got what I wanted regardless of who won haha

The feverishness of the front pages is amazing, partly because of their intrinsic nonsense, but also because I realized they're quite literally the only place I've seen that is in the tank for the tories, barring the tories themselves.

Bardeh posted:https://twitter.com/ManufacturingNI/status/1192564837345353728 Canvassing is still valuable in safe seats, because it provides information that's useful in local elections. Knowing where potential labour voters live and what the important local issues are can be enough to snipe a couple of council seats. Not as glamorous as the GE but it makes a difference on the local level.
