That seems extremely not normal writing

E: I'm down with this dude and his beliefs and reading more he does good work but by god that essay up top, criminal writing

People emulating Zizek's essay style are usually not strange ex-Bosnian soldiers who were Lacan students with mental tics and an empathy for nationalism. Which is good, but pick a less weird voice to try speak with

The point of the outrage where he was banished from the rest of the media was weird

Dude loudly advocated for white kids to hunt out immigrant kids in their communities, confront trans kids about their bodies and direct a call to attack Leslie Jones as a "friend of the family" on twitter because of Ghostbusters

Why wasn't any of this and the community defending itself from it enough? Dude's unequivocally gotta say children are the predators in pedophilic relationships to be deemed a fuckin' freak? Low. Bar.

The pizza gate kid who interned and wrote for Milo who leaked all of his Nazi affiliations to Buzzfeed after Milo defended pedophilia was a wild story too, dude lost his goddamned mind hard after this guy he'd attached himself to in the name of stopping satanic Child Abuse said loving children was a grey area

He just started stabbing his family, accusing them of being pedophiles too, and then Milo removed the guys bylines, and to this day insists he never existed

So Western Power decided to proceed with a full day scheduled outage in my area today, even though it's currently 8c outside and the median age for our suburb is about 60. I'm actually concerned they're going to kill someone.

I'm all for killing Olds, but these are poor safe Labor industrial seat Olds. Seems a shame tbh.

Hopefully they all have wood fires and poo poo.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-30/outcry-over-removal-of-word-aboriginal-from-certificates/9920794

quote:

The decision by a West Australian bureaucrat to redact the word "Aboriginal" from official documents has created an outcry among archivists, genealogists and historians across Australia.
WA is the only jurisdiction in Australia to deem the word Aboriginal offensive and remove it from historical birth, death and marriage certificates.
The practice only came to light last month after keen family historian Garry Smith told the ABC about the word Aboriginal being whited out from his great-grandmother's death certificate.
He was told by the WA Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages the word had been redacted because it was an offensive term.
whited out huh

My friends dad used to be the head for one of the state REI’s and he was the most hardcore “Liberals save money, Labor spends money” fanatic, to the point where my friend, a lesbian single mother, is a lifelong Liberal voter from listening to that crap all her life.

I got them to reduce mine but they refused to wipe it out completely despite having digital copies of all my payslips etc. I sent them to show my reporting was accurate, I just gave in and paid threst to save myself the stress and effort, only a couple of hundred in which isn't much to me at the moment but could still gently caress some people hard.

the throat grab was my stepfather's favourite move and the best thing about it is that people go "oh but he wasn't actually choking you was he? you could still breathe? no big deal" because they've never had it done to them and don't realise that someone grabbing you by the throat actually sets off your "i'm going to die" instinct regardless of whether or not your windpipe is actually cut off

The ANU claim that the Ramsay donation of $2 million sought to undermine the university's academic freedom. The Ramsay Centre denies this, and says its documents make clear it would not have vetoed the ANU's right to appoint staff or set the curriculum. This was unwise, in my view, given the ANU's seeming disdain of Western civilisation and the high likelihood that the money would have been hijacked by the Left to do the exact opposite of the donor's intention.

In fact, check some of the Western civilisation courses the ANU teaches right now - and which the ANU claims are a sign of its commitment. Some examples:

Human Variation and racism in Western Culture

Human Rights in History.

Sexuality in Australian History

Real Men : Masculinities in Western History.

Global Citizen , Culture Development and Inequality ( school of Archaeology and Anthropology)

Strange Home : Rethinking Australian Literature.

Language Power and Identity


To be fair, far from all those 150 or so courses are hostile to Western civilisation, or more concerned with victimhood or identity politics.

Think about it. With the stroke of a pen, the Senate could ban single-use condoms. How many whales porpoises dolphins and turtles would be saved from that cruel fate. But there is another upside, to coin a phrase: the same ban would spoil the friendly intercourse that unites the members of most political parties at their conventions, especially those left-wing cathedrals of morality, the Greens and the ALP.
