Dave Chappelle in the firing line:

I'm sure he'll give a most grovelling apology 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I've followed the fall-out a little bit online (I've also seen the special). Unfortunately, the attempt at a powerful message that Chappelle ended the special in question with was quite clearly completely lost on his loudest fans, who are apparently also the most retarded and resistant fans to that same message. He shouldn't apologize for what he said, but he should take those of his supporters who are vile, hate-filled morons to task. This is often the case though. Russell Brand, for example, says his videos are just about presenting the facts, but as soon as you go into the comments and see what's getting thousands of likes, it's pretty clear exactly what kind of pinhead mentality he's actually feeding, without ever calling it out.

[open face surgery]

When even the head of the network, their boss, is standing by him, he really has nothing to worry about.

What is a ´pinhead mentality? Pointing out the giant chasms in the average postmodern goons thought processes?

Always the same with you. ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE/DISLIKE THIS VIDEO ARE DUMB AND THEREFORE ITS ILLEGITIMATE.

A pinhead mentality appears whenever someone knee-jerk reacts to something without first even trying to absorb the details. I said pinhead mentality in reference to Russell Brand's youtube horde of fans, apparently for the most part anti-vax conspiracy nuts who rack up thousands of likes for absolute nonsense statements below videos in which Brand claims to objectively present "facts", or whatever. Nothing whatsoever to do with post-modernism.

These people are part of literal cultes des ghoules.

They really are very damaged people aren't they? Their creepy tactics remind me of how Scientologists deal with non believers and apostates. I mean, how have this small neurotic minority managed to grab culture so squarely by the ball bag? Hopefully in a few years time society as a whole can all look back at this freakshow with collective embarrassment and shame having moved back to more normal territory.

[Caomhaoin]

Fascist behaviour. Making fun of, or denying any part of, this 'lifestyle' or doctrine is comparable to having a go at Stalin down the boozer in the 1930's USSR. I saw a tweet where one of these 'activists' said she would never vote for anyone who was white or male. A university professor said that the post was racist and sexist, and this bint tried to get the lad fired for hate speech. I've heard more coherent arguments from lads after eight yokes.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

There's a long and more recent history of people trying, more or less successfully, to get university professors in the US fired, no need to reach for Stalin. The US made their own bed in this regard, a long time ago.

A high proportion of the movement are victims of abuse, to some extent or another. And that's not surprising; if you look at tweets or youtube comments of Chappelle's fans, you have a mix of people trying to be objective and free speech about it, you have guys like yer man in the video, who are creating scenes because like the protesters they also have nothing else better to be doing, and then you have a significant proportion who really are explicitly and blatantly also hate-filled and damaged individuals only interested in formulating the most abusive content they can muster. There is no shortage of abuse out there. It would be good if the protesters could calm down, but as I said above, it would be even better if certain figures took a bit of responsibility in how thousands and thousands of individuals in their fanbase interpret what they say. Chappelle ended his show with a, "I want to make sure we're all on the same side, that we're laughing together." In the same way the protesters are a vocal minority, there is also a vocal minority in his fanbase who unabashedly are only interested in verbal, transphobic abuse. If you don't accept that there really are absolute cunt trolls out there, damaged in their own petty way, and doling out abuse left, right, and centre, online and in the real world, then you're never going to understand what's happening on the other side. Venom breeds venom. Exclusion breeds a desire for exclusion. There's nothing surprising about any of it.

[Caomhaoin]

I think you're missing the point about Stalin. He was beyond reproach and so are people who want to pretend they are a different gender because of science denying activists screeching on behalf of others.

I don't really blame the transgender people, it's the ghouls who are intent on silencing dissent to this new orthodoxy. International pronouns day (wtf is that and anyways) the other day too, which conveniently coincided with those Netflix goons protesting over nothing.

Of course there are trolls, but I have better things to do than read YouTube comments. In any case, the guy in the video was the victim of felony theft, destruction of property. Of course, this and all the murders, assaults etc are trumped by the highly strung, hypersensitive marginalised groups and their 'trauma'. Give me a break!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I mean, just look at this sap: "I Got ASSAULTED at the Netflix Protest!" (that I went down to with the sole purpose of stirring shit and getting my 15 minutes and bumping my number of subscribers on YouTube and followers on Twitter).

Do you honestly think mooks like this, exaggerating their own experiences (ASSAULTED!), is any better? Nonsense. That guy is clearly as much of a dose as the worst dose you could hope to find among the protesters.

Felony theft... of a piece of wood? Destruction... of a piece of wood and some paper? Boo-fucking-hoo. I thought you were supposed to be representing the side of not blowing things out of proportion. A victim of felony theft of a piece of wood 

[Caomhaoin]

So counter protests are always shit stirring, or just when the side you don't like do it?

Yes, he's a spa judging from that, but he's a spa who was the victim of crime, no matter how you spin it. He's laughing at the absurdity of the bloodlust for Dave Chapelle, the lad who told a poignant story about Daphne, and who is clearly not, to even the meanest of intellects or indoctrinated fanatic, a 'phobe' of any persuasion.

All right minded people should be laughing at them too.

To paraphrase Dr Peterson (oh!), I represent myself and not any group or persuasion.
