I'm guessing from the name that it's incels who are convinced that the reason that they are incels is that they are "too smart, and sapiosexual, and women are dumb bitches amirite?" Perhaps it actually means bra incels. I have no idea what that means but I'm sure we can come up with something.

radmonger posted:Well it _is_ true; have you never worn boots or shoes? They wear out from constant grinding abrasion, and having holes in your shoes when it’s wet sucks. Unfortunately after 40 years of walking around on shoes made from drawing pins, broken glass, Lego pieces & rusty nails (this is a metaphor for neoliberalism) we can afford nothing less than very expensive specialist shoes from your podiatrist to counteract that horrifying mess and the decades of damage done by such bad shoes (this is radical socialism). I hope by putting it like this that you loving drop this terrible analogy.

Obviously it was a loving dumb thing to do but if you didn't do dumb rear end poo poo when you were 21 I dunno what to say. That's not handwaving it but he at least acknowledged it was bad and apologised which is more than some manage to do. I don't want to sound like the royal defender but if he sues the tabloids and we get press regulation back on the table because of it then that's cool by me. And considering the press chased his mam into the grave you can sympathise with him not wanting to tolerate their poo poo when they are printing some awful poo poo about his wife.

Gatts posted:Cause there’s no other reason I can see for Brexit other than to weaken European Union and cause fracturing. Besides Nationalism and Racism and Xenophobia and those are also the tools used to cause disruption in the US. Oh shut the gently caress up you lunatic. Yes, Russia has provided some funding to UKIP in the past & probably to the Brexit Party. And yes, they probably look favourably at a tiny chunk of the EU breaking of. So what? Brexit has happened because of nationalism & xenophobia & pisspoor media coverage of politics & a failure of neoliberalism leading to massive alienation among the working class which has caused a section of them to lash out against minority groups in a desperate attempt to feel like they have any power or control in this technocratic neoliberal hell that is Late Stage Capitalism. This is bad but is ultimately the fault of a "free" press in a capitalist society far more than it is Vladimir Putin, The World's Greatest Puppet Master. It's Newscorps who owns The Sun, it's the Barclay Brothers who own the Telegraph, it was pornographer Richard Desmond who owned The Express during the referendum, it is Viscount Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail. The only Russians involved in our press is Alexander Lebedev who owns what's left of The Independent which isn't even pro-Brexit. Russia brain is played out & considerably less interesting than reality. But I suppose it does allow liberals to keep their heads firmly up their own backsides & ignore how utterly their economic ideas have failed the majority of people.

Gatts posted:So basically yes Russia has provided funding to political parties and benefits from this and we have clear examples of meddling but I am a lunatic for saying they benefit from a weaker Europe. No, you're a lunatic for desperately grasping on to your favourite conspiracy against all evidence to the contrary by only looking at one small factor rather the entire picture. Hope that clears it. We shot ourselves in the face. Doesn't actually matter or not if it was Putin who handed us the gun (he didn't, in this tortured analogy it's much more like he handed the gun to someone who handed it to someone x7 who then passed it off to us), we pulled the trigger. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Oct 7, 2019 |

Bobby Deluxe posted:It's one thing saying Russian billionaires weren't the only factor, but come on. They may not have started the fire but they certainly threw a lot of money on the pyre. Anyone focusing on anything other than neoliberalism as the overwhelmingly major source for the discontent that lead to the complete lack of faith in the political class that lead to Leave winning the referendum is an act of pure idiocy. I'm not saying the perfidious Rus wasn't a factor I'm just saying that it comes so far down the list that there's no loving point being concerned about it, it's not exactly Operation Gladio.

Like they literally sat down and waited Yeah. The polis needed to get a mandated piss break or something and the absolute fuckwits just stopped protesting until the police could come back and arrest them. NotJustANumber99 posted:why can't xtinction rebellion just be like ok? Dunno mate, ask them. NotJustANumber99 posted:SO before they didnt do anything, now theyre doing a bit. Maybe later they'll do more? UNless they're like a secret counter protest group setup to drag people down to be less protesty? It seems kind of fine? And people on the internet moaning about it are basically the epitome of critics being hypo. Criticism of their tactics isn't just telling them to stop and give up though. But they are going about it in a manner that is exceedingly naive and directly goes against the advice they've been given by experienced protests groups because they desperately want to appeal to middle class liberals. I'm sorry, but the sort of cop respecter who cares that you politely answer the policeman when he asks for your name isn't going to be enamoured by the people inconveniencing their day by blocking bridges & what not. Meanwhile people were being pre-arrested by the polis days before the protests had even loving happened. If you want a more long-winded critique I'd say read this: http://libcom.org/blog/extinction-rebellion-not-struggle-we-need-pt-1-19072019 though it says it's part 1 of 3 & the lazy bums haven't written part 2 in the past 3 months yet. There's also an inherent absurdity about claiming your protesting mass extinction and then fannying about with decorum and abiding the law and being all polite to the police. Almost takes away from the urgency.
