A good thing for that poster to do would be to see if he can define race before saying anything else. When you say race, what do you mean by it?

Irony is a destabilizing force generally: it unsettles and undermines premises. Morons take this to mean that it can excuse any statement or sentiment without considering what kind of statement they're actually making.

The police report from when he beat his girlfriend says that she wouldn't let him wear his special helmet while watching a movie and that's how their fight started. That's everything you need to know about him, even though it raises tons of questions also.

Hbomberguy posted:I'm trying to understand what the satire is of Roosh's 'legalise rape' article. He claimed it was satire after people said 'what the gently caress' about it, but I really genuinely don't get what his actual point was if it is. When he tries to explain what the satire is himself he just re-states the same tenets of the article. Reactionaries think that satire means "directly saying what I actually believe while also making jokes or giving up all pretense of being polite."

Maoist Pussy posted:They are no longer at the top of the hierarchy. Why wouldn't they adopt the weapons of those who eroded that hierarchy? Everyone else does. Because they're dumb stemlord failures who never read a book without a dragon or a spaceship in it and are proud of that. It took them to the point where cultural criticism filtered down through Star Wars and Spider-Man comics to realize that it even exists. They're just flailing around with a cargo cult that approximates what their limited perception captures of what's happening. God forbid they ever read something more complex than what was handed out in AP English.

Gavin McInnes is definitely on the periphery of the dork enlightenment, though he has zero influence on Vice today. It might be more "punk rock" contrarian than leftist, though.

Yeah, American culture is deeply conservative when it comes to economics, and you see that in the language along with the institutions. The racist/misogynist dogwhistles have mostly been chased away from public discourse, at least since the high water-mark of the family values and compassionate conservative days. That Lee Atwater quote has become a cliche, by god. That's pretty good for exorcising that kind of language from the discussion.

Bushiz posted:I think there's an interesting culture that's emerged in the Edgelord-Skeleton wars that are taking place on twitter. Like, prominent social justice twitter personalities received serious threats via more private channels, but talk about them via public channels. This becomes a story and, toiling in the content mines, various writers drum up some mean tweets to go along with the stories. These tweets are bad, the worst offenders are banned, and things proceed. The cycle repeats, but the tweets become less openly violent at specific individuals, because that gets you thrown off twitter, and, because we're dealing with /pol/ rejects who think having LOIC and a wget ddos makes them Anonymous, the new hostile tweets are just very, very low quality. So now you have this hoard of idiots tweeting shittily at people, and a hoard of victims that are, by and large, fairly new to and inexperienced with mass communication platforms on the web, people for whom facebook or myspace was their first foray into an online identity, and it just amazes me. You've got this group of /pol/ rejects who think they're some kind of elite internet harassment squad, and then these other people, the victims, who seem to also believe the hype about their harassers, but it just doesn't pierce the noise floor of general shittiness on the internet. I earned the ire of internet edgelords a while back, and cleaning them out from my mentions took maybe ten minutes, and was considerably harder than the five or six times I've had dozens to hundreds of porn bots spontaneously follow me on twitter. Part of the internet becoming real life is that it must be domesticated. It blows my mind that people put their real names on the internet at all, but when enough people do it then the culture moves there and we all head there. It's all just maladjusted nerds who can't adapt to a changing world because the internet is the clubhouse they run to in escape from the world. It's been going on since the beginning of the internet. Look up "eternal fall registration."

Maoist Pussy posted:OK, sure, but some social changes should be campaigned against and some shouldn't. Racism, for instance, is insupportable and should never have existed, whereas counternarratives on gender and culture and capitalism are certainly possible. Then find some rigorous published accounts of such arguments and read them. The internet people we're taking about use philosophers' names as cover for being huge racists. There's literally nothing else to any of them. You'll have to read a book.

Helsing posted:I thought of the ultimate philosopher of liberal modernity (which ironically means he is anticipating the philosophy of many forms of contemporary conservatism). Even better he's one of the few writers who is still genuinely scandalous enough that a lot of people will become angry or judgement simply knowing you've read him: De Sade. The guy had some... interesting... beliefs. For instance, he was a strong opponent of the death penalty but believed that murder should be legal. I'm sorry for going off topic with this, but if I want to read some Sade, what's the best or a good translation? It looks like the best options are an old Grove Press series from the 50s/60s and more recent translations from Oxford.

It is demeaning to lose autonomy and to be reminded that you do not have autonomy. If you are a decent human being, you sometimes think about how not to humiliate others when doing for them what they cannot do for themselves.
