"Alt-right" Still Parading Ignorance, Stupidity, Malice, Etc.

My original point in bringing up the Nats was that, general arseholes they may be, but, (unlike the Republican party, it seems...) they will expel white supremacists...

(at least when the said supremacists have been unmasked by the press... )

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

nights have drawn in, the rains have come, and it is time to start unveiling some of the lines in the Lost in Showbiz Winter Collection. Let me say right now that one of our absolute key pieces will be Jordan Peterson.

Quite how it’s taken this column so long to alight lovingly on the winningest public intellectual of our age is unclear, but please now consider me officially very into him. This week, I read Jordan’s most famous book, 12 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter, and found it an absolute scream. Forgive me – the opus is actually called 12 Rules For Life, but it certainly forced me to tear down every other thought leader poster peeling off my bedroom wall. I am highly excited to get around to Jordan’s only other published book, some kind of vast theory of everything which took him 12 years to write. Oscar Wilde wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray in about a fortnight, so imagine how much better Jordan B Peterson’s Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief is going to be.

But we race ahead. Are you even familiar with Peterson? A University of Toronto psychology professor, his raging stage show involuntarily reminds me of that incredibly moving speech from The South Park Movie: “This is aboot dignity. This is aboot respect. [Laughter] This is aboot – [More laughter] What’s so goddammed funny?” Anyway, you may simply know Jordan as “the lobster guy”, after his most famous proposition/abstraction: the idea that lobsters and their serotonin levels explain why human hierarchies exist and are good. But were better in the 1950s. Put simply, you’re really doing this wrong if your first thought on seeing a lobster is: “I’d like to eat this thing, not surrender my abortion rights to it.”

Owing to his sell-out speaking tours, huge YouTube following and multimillion book sales, Peterson is frequently described as a “Pied Piper” of angry and disaffected men – though my understanding of the original Pied Piper was that he took all his followers away into some kind of mountain from which they never returned. Yes please! Except, how come Peterson’s followers continue to wander around our metaphorical Hamelin, explaining stuff like there is no patriarchy because of crustaceans? Can we try DynoPest instead?

Anyway, Peterson is also a leading member of the arseoisie, or the “intellectual dark web”, as they prefer it. Again, are you familiar with the “intellectual dark web”? I do hope not. It’s a self-styling by a loose group of soi-disant intellectuals you’d cross continents to avoid having a pint with (although they didn’t go with that tagline in the end). There isn’t space for a full passenger manifest, but they include Peterson, talkshow host Dave Rubin, Newsweek columnist and perma-pundit Ben Shapiro and a bunch of other people bizarrely obsessed with what students do, even though we’ve known since time immemorial that students often act like idiots, and mostly grow out of it unless they’re Hamlet or whatever. Think of the intellectual dark web as a very whiny superhero team. Marvel’s A-Whingers. Guardians of the Galaxy Brains. The League of Extraordinarily Fragile Gentlemen.

Like the rest of the gang, Peterson apparently imagines himself “locked out” of the mainstream media, despite having sold 2m books and being interviewed every 10 minutes by actual international media outlets. I can’t help feeling that Jordan is “locked out” of the mainstream media in the same way that Justin Bieber is “locked out” of pop music.

An unhealthy obsession with students? Who does that remind us of?

Jordan is interviewed by the New Statesman’s Helen Lewis. It’s hard to pick my favourite moment from the nearly two-hour-long encounter, but I very much enjoyed the bit where Lewis reasons: “Lobsters don’t get depressed. I think you’re anthropomorphising to a ridiculous degree. These are creatures that urinate out of their faces.”

Elementary; it takes globalism to beat globalism.

Makes sense like fighting for peace

There's will be good globalism. Not that bad globalism.

Well, after all, there are video games where it's cool to kill Nazis. Yes, Cantwell does identify himself as part of the alt-right, in case some JAQoff is wondering.

'"Crying Nazi" releases video game where users play Richard Spencer and kill reporters and LGBT people in Pulse-like club'

Infamous “Crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell’s podcast has released a sequel to its 2017 white supremacist video game Angry Goy where users shoved Jews into ovens.

As noted by the Angry White Men blog, Angry Goy II allows users to play as Cantwell’s fellow Charlottesville white nationalist Richard Spencer, who is seen in the trailer burning leftist protesters with a lit Tiki torch.

“Angry Goy II is the season’s hit game for White males who have had it with Jewish bullshit,” Cantwell wrote on the “free speech” social network Gab. The site is now back online after its old host dropped it when it was revealed that the alleged Pittsburgh synagogue shooter posted on it just before opening fire on the Tree of Life temple.

“Instead of taking out your frustrations on actual human beings, you can fight the mongrels and degenerates on your computer!” the Radical Agenda podcast creator wrote. “Use guns, knives, pepper spray, and more! Lay waste to wave after wave of sh*tdicks, sh*tskins, sh*tstains, and the k*kes they serve.”

What? Everyone associated in the production and distribution of these video games ought to be up on charges of perpetrating hate crimes.

A blow to Trump-supporting Nazis.

But..but..according to Cunt and even 42 Europe is the only place where you can get arrested for saying hatey type things!

[Cunt]

Rum, some of what you write is so dumb, I can't imagine why you can't see it yourself. Of course, you ARE probably just here to ironically parade ignorance, stupidity and malice, but I miss a lot of jokes.

Hate speech laws are enacted in almost every country except the US, and even there, some places seem to use them anyway (like the policies at some private schools)

You are not lawfully allowed to talk about a lot of things though, being where and when you are, so I understand. I feel sorry for you.

[pErvinalia]

Don't worry, we feel sorry for you too. Seriously.
