The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

About that Nietzsche musing, how would you relate it to homosexuality?

There is no doubt that women in Islamic countries are worse off than in any even moderately civilised society, there can be no comparison while keeping a straight face. Churchill, whatever you think of the man, put it quite bluntly - 'The fact that every mohommaden woman must be the absolute property of a man, either as wife, child or concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until Islam ceases to be a great power amongst men'. Yet your common or garden 'feminist' (although I read that fewer than 10% of UK females consider themselves such) is far more concerned with the myth of unequal pay and other frivolous shite like being called 'love' or 'darling', or the strangest one, having a man hold the door open for them. Priorities, girls. The alliance between the left and Islam is more of a head scratcher than the Nazi-Soviet pact. The Saudi lads must think it's absolutely gas altogether.

Big Winston also said 'the fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists'. Maybe that's why those 'anti fascists' vandalised his statue. Roy Jenkins biography on the man changed my vaguely antagonistic view of him to one of admiration.

An interesting drinking game would be to match his daily intake scoop for scoop. Guaranteed messages to old flames and soiled bedsheets upon completion.

Or Guy Burgess' 10 bottles of wine and a pile of books while never leaving bed except to piss, and your food beside you pre-prepared over a weekend. It sounds both horrendous and really tempting at the same time.

I've seen it in friends circles where they won't talk to someone who holds a different position on an issue. Well if u take that position you'll have no friends. Everyone disagrees on something. And existing in an echo chamber where u only hear views you like isn't good imo.

Yep it's made, I don't think I agree with my friends on anything we have different politics, music tastes, football allegiances etc. The only common ground is a general hatred for humanity 😂

I watched Meeting the Man - James Baldwin in Paris last night. Just a 30 minute documentary filmed in Paris in 1970 or 71 by a couple of English guys who wanted to make  film about him. It gets highly confrontational, and so is quite a challenging watch in places, but all the more compelling for that reason for anyone interested in the whole emancipation movement, etc.

Anyway, relative to certain recent discussions here, this part jumped out:

Interviewer: In a literal sense, you're writing for white people. Are you aware of that?

J.B.: I'm writing for people, baby. I don't believe in white people. I don't believe in black people either, for that matter. But I know the difference between being black and white at this time.

Sounds interesting, where did you come across that?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I'd seen it mentioned somewhere, the documentary, and found a torrent for it on magnetdl

[StoutAndAle]

It's on Mubi currently - https://mubi.com/films/meeting-the-man-james-baldwin-in-paris

[Carnage]

Ah right, thank you gentlemen.

[Blackout]

I'm sure this'll be very impartial.

We are getting sucked into a binary view of the world: life isn't black or white; it's grey.

Meself and the brother were talking about that the other night. Well he was telling me about it anyway. Must give it a squint

"Black on Asian crimes only occur because of our system of white supremacy that strips African Americans of their economic opportunities while taking respect and dignity away from Asian Americans. "

Someone actually said that.

These idiots would argue with you if you told them the rain was wet.

Conservatism is now counter culture, it cannot be denied.

Maybe Bismarck and the boys had the right idea with the balance of power in Europe to prevent any one side becoming too powerful. I'd favour the violent dismemberment and pacification route like what they did to France in 1870, but sure the next best thing is letting them chew their own arses off, which sure as your bollix they will.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I'll deny it: conservatism is not counter-culture. There's not really much counter-culture to speak of at the moment; liberalism may have become mainstream, but conservatism still wields massive power and influence, and has solidly established foundations around the world. Maybe the very few voices who try to walk a middle ground are the only counter-culture we have now. Not many of the mouth-pieces you reference would fit that description Kev.

[astfgyl]

I fucking weep for mankind. I agree though they will have to eat themselves sooner or later. The problem started this time when someone actually looked up the crime statistics and found that far more violence against Asians was by non-whites. So that quote is the twist of logic required to keep the narrative flying in the face of reason. And flying it is.

The only counter-culture nowadays is to try hold the middle ground when all around are being polarised.
