James Caruthers: The way I see it, SJWism isn't a internet fad but a cultural/political "war". Sure, the most active and fast-paced battlefront is the internet and social media, but the overall war rages on all over the place.

(Fuck, take a look at Sweden FFS, I wish this shit was "internet only", but no, we have political parties with these morons almost getting into parliament, and hell, the green party is borderline SJW - and their party leader is Sweden's vice prime minister! The same leader/vice PM that last year in a speech proclaimed "Most of us aren't white, heterosexual, middle-aged men, we are humans!")

Sure, internet anti-SJWism is very similar to what internet anti-creationism used to be, but you're forgetting that anti-creationism itself was a counter reaction to the creationists and the christian right winning ground and seeing the winds change in their favor with Bush and conservative media's support of them. Anti-creationism slowly faded as a result of the creationists losing their momentum and cultural/political influence as the landscape changed after Bush stepped down and the Obama Change-hysteria hit the US.

Anti-SJWism is very similar, it's a counter-reaction to the SJWs and their increased political/cultural influence, which is supported very much by liberal media and journalists who themselves are SJWs or SJW supporters, and SJWism starting to have a significant impact on both various policies and culture.

Anti-SJWism/SJWism will certainly fade away like a fad, but only when SJWs lose their cultural/political momentum and the SJWs become the same targets for mainstream ridicule that creationists became, and when media stop uncritically pandering to them, and when mainstream politicians, celebrities and similar people realize that it's not a good PR move to be associated with these loons.

... and as for what good shitposting about SJWs does, well the Asch conformity experiments comes to mind - without dissenting voices, mindbogglingly retarded narratives can easily be established as "truths" that everyone agree on, but... you just need a few dissenters and that narrative cracks. Without a doubt, the most important pushback against SJWs have been online - the opposition to SJWs is massive, they are one of the most hated groups online, yet traditional media is almost unanimously pushing the SJW narratives, and it's only quite recently this has started cracking and it's now slowly becoming more and more mainstream to take the piss out of SJWs.

I would say both. Also, along the way we had countless occasions to laugh till our sides went into orbit. IMO the time spent here was not wasted because at a minimum it was free entertainment.

What a ride man! A long crazy and hilarious ride. Not a day went by when I was not entertained.

Nope. I just wanted to perturb someone. Sorry about your neighbors Phil but mine are quiet all year long.

I must be.

I went to get a manji tattoo, then I realized later that the guy put it on wrong and it was a swastika. Probably explains why the guy's head was shaved and he had one of his own on his forehead.
I don't know, but your little Iron Pill comic comes right out of the:
Neo-völkisch movements, as defined by the historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, cover a wide variety of mutually influencing groups of a radically ethnocentric character which have emerged, especially in the English-speaking world, since World War II. These loose networks revive or imitate the völkisch movement of 19th and early 20th century Germany in their defensive affirmation of white identity against modernity, liberalism, immigration, multiracialism, and multiculturalism.[1] Some identify as neo-fascist, neo-Nazi, or Third Positionist; others are politicised around some form of white ethnic nationalism or identity politics,[1] and may show right-wing anarchist tendencies.[2] Especially notable is the prevalence of devotional forms and esoteric themes, so that neo-völkisch currents often have the character of new religious movements.
BTW, the little White Supremacist Neo-Pagan Norse Rune (Othala Rune) on the main character's shoulder was a dead give-away when viewed in the CONTEXT of his his propaganda:

http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate- ... hala-2.jpg


You can read about it here at the ADL's Hate Symbol Library: http://www.adl.org/combating-hate/hate- ... gLrgstVhBc

Which warns us:
However, because it is part of the runic alphabet, the symbol can also be found in non-extremist contexts as well, especially runic writing and runestones used by non-racist pagans. Consequently, care should be taken to evaluate the symbol in the context in which it appears.
So I look at the comic which is blatantly Volkisch. And I see the rune. I see the other symbology. I see what's being preached. It's all part-and-parcel of the White Supremacy movement.

So if people come to the conclusion you're a white supremacist... Can you blame them? After all, you were dropping a volkisch cartoon full of dog-whistle white supremacy into the 'pit. And while I didn't widdle on about it, I damn well recognized it for what it was.

And if you didn't recognize it (the Iron Pill) as part of the White Supremacy/Volkisch 'movement,' well, hopefully you've leaned an important life lesson. And it's a life lesson learned without any serious life consequences.

So lucky you we're not a bunch of 'wreck-your-life SJWs.' Because you damn well know they'd have no tolerance for something that could be a mistake. Something done out of ignorance of the greater picture. WHich is, frankly, how I chose to view it. That you were unwittingly pushing white supremacist ideology. AFter all, those assholes are good at hiding what they do. Always trying to make it sound ever-so-reasonable.

And if you are a white supremacist... I don't really give a damn. White supremacy is pretty much irrelevant and laughable. Kind of like the modern day KKK, toothless and pathetic and not worth getting worked-up over.
Then there was the rash of fat shaming posts. To be fair, a lot of those featured people who deserved ridicule, but then there was also some pissing on of fat tumblrites just trying to feel positive about themselves. I do sometimes wonder if there was an agenda because of the sheer volume of Iron Pill and fat posts. It did occur to me that it was either bait or an attempt to fill the Pit with compromising content. Who knows. I'm more than likely being overly suspicious.

But keep psychoanalyzing me please.
Nah, it was clearly trolling IMO. Dumb trolling that could have had a false flag element to it, but even I gave JC the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not convinced that James 'gets' the significance of the pit for those of us who were actively drilled out of spaces online when the deep rifts started to open up. Some of us (vacula, Phil, rystefan and Abbie) were either active in the AS community or friends with people at skepchick and FTB and being labelled as sexist racist assholes was personally and sometimes professionally painful. IIRC James came late to the game. Long after people like oolon had tried his hand at false flagging
Which is why I try to be generous to newer posters but will comment if I see 'suspicious' behaviour. Then again oldfags like Rayshul have no time for my bullshit, which is why I love it here. YMMV obviously.

Actually, after these clarifications, On this topic, we may not actually disagree on much. The disagreements I see are ones of personal opinion and taste.
Yea, I kind of thought we were more or less on the same page; part of the reason why I thought it worth the effort to offer some clarifications.
Cnutella wrote:
Steersman wrote: Generally agree with you about “psychologically debilitating” and “loneliness is bad for most humans”. .... However, I’m not sure Richardson had any obligation or intent to “suggest alternative strategies”, only to suggest or delineate some problematic aspects to sex robots. ....
I would argue that all she provided was an example of questionable relevance in which, given the choice between a metal mom that dispenses food and one covered in fur, baby monkeys pick reassurance and comfort. Either way, the end result was maladjusted monkeys. ....
Yes, as I mentioned before, I thought she was putting too much reliance on that point, that she was engaging in an "all-or-nothing" type of fallacy.
Cnutella wrote:.... However, this is a substitute for a real woman and, particularly as Richardson is anti prostitution and (as her argument is an objectification one) presumably anti-porn, what panacea is she offering to the men of WizardChan beyond "well we need to have a conversation".
Some of her "feminist" dogma that I was referring or alluding to. Which is rather problematic, not to mention being inconsistent with the facts - notably, as you suggested or argued, that no few women also avail themselves of sex toys, porn, and prostitutes. Reminds me that during the Canadian Senate's televised hearings on the proposed anti-prostitution bill [then Bill C36] several months ago, they heard from several male prostitutes whose clientele were mostly women - which I think did something quite remarkable and commendable in humanizing both the clients and the providers, and the profession itself.
Cnutella wrote:The thing is, any number of things can be misused or used compulsively as an emotional substitute for an underlying issue (such as depression, dysphoria or loneliness) - eating compulsively, watching TV, watching porn, smoking pot or playing computer games.
Exactly my point - more or less - about Richardson's reliance on that monkey study: moderation in all things - including moderation.
Cnutella wrote:I recall reading that there have been a number of sociological studies on alienation (no idea whether any of them are worth a damn, but as the cateogry of people living on their own is expanding in the census, I think it's reasonable to assume an increase in loneliness. It is also pretty clear that more communal ways of living were more typical in the past, just as they are today in less technologically dependent societies. It appears to be a necessity for a number of reasons.
Reminds me of having read at least portions of The Lonely Crowd many moons ago which is apparently considered "a classic in the genre" of "sociological analysis". A brief summary from the Wikipedia article that may have some relevance to the SJW phenomenon:
Riesman et al. identify and analyze three main cultural types: tradition-directed, inner-directed, and other-directed. They trace the evolution of society from a tradition-directed culture, one that moved in a direction defined by preceding generations. Tradition-directed social types obeyed rules established a long time in the past and rarely succeeded in modern society, with its dynamic changes.

This earliest social type was succeeded by people who were inner-directed. They discovered the potential within themselves to live and act not according to established norms but based on what they discovered using their own inner gyroscope. ....

Gradually an other-direction took hold, that is, the social forces of how others were living -what they consumed, what they did with their time, what their views were toward politics, work, play, and so on. Riesman and his researchers found that other-directed people were flexible and willing to accommodate others to gain approval. Because large organizations preferred this type of personality, it became indispensable to the institutions that thrived with the growth of industry in America.

As Riesman writes, "The other-directed person wants to be loved rather than esteemed," not necessarily to control others but to relate to them. Those who are other-directed need assurance that they are emotionally in tune with others.

By the 1940s, the other-directed character was beginning to dominate society. Today the triumph of this type of social personality is complete. ....

Riesman's book argues that although other-directed individuals are crucial for the smooth functioning of the modern organization, the value of autonomy is compromised. The Lonely Crowd also argues that society dominated by the other-directed faces profound deficiencies in leadership, individual self-knowledge, and human potential. ....
While I expect those classifications are somewhat simplistic or more apparent than real - presumably there are more fundamental processes in play that manifest as those classes - they still seem to provide some "explanatory power".
Cnutella wrote:
Steersman wrote:As for “better than none whatsoever”, I think there are a number of salient and crucial differences between the first set of solutions you suggested – pets, vibrators and fleshlights – and the sex robots: rather clear that the former are not the “real-meal-deal” whereas the latter is rather clearly attempting to pass itself off as that – basically peddling a delusion.
You might argue that a fleshlight is even more reductionist and objectifying because it reduces women down to the role of a vagina.
"You" might argue that, but I would certainly be rather reluctant to do so as the premise seems to be that people are defined only by their genitalia, that we are nothing more than one rather limited feature of our "bodies and souls". In addition, one might ask, analogously, whether buying TV-dinners is "reductionist and objectifying" because it reduces chefs and women down to the role of cooking.
Cnutella wrote:Also, is there anything wrong with a delusion, particularly if it is your only option?
If it was, in fact, the only option then I suppose one could agree or support it. However, if, as with my analogies to religion, people were insisting, for rather self-serving reasons and on no evidence, that there weren't any other options then I rather doubt you would go along with those peddling such delusions.

It's true. I just used the search function to see if you were just making that up. Trust but verify you know? I've been fooled enough by Carruthers already

Aurini really was a subtle sneaky way to try to expose us to holocaust denialism.

Cmon, the Volkish type comics were clearly satirical parodies in the first place. I don't think even the least self-aware neo-reactionary could possibly take them at face value. I did find it ironic that the SJW's seized Caruther's mocking of an idea as promotion of it, even used it as the primary evidence for the Pit being a den of white supremacists, but then again SJW's have never been big on this "intent" thing, just the problematic messages which must never be considered, much less uttered in any form. Especially under the cover of "humour", that cis-white patriarchal mechanism designed to punch down on defenseless minorities. The only appropriate use of humour is as a subversion to the cis-white patriarchal hegemony.

Personally, I don't think Caruthers is a Nazi sympathizer and barely-closeted SJW. But he really should man up and take responsibility for Ebola. He really was an evil motherfucker for that.

Also, anyone who took the Iron Pill comics seriously, or thought Caruthers took them seriously, is a grade-A idiot.

<snip>

Over the years I have been to several different states in the USA and the one thing that struck me was that the majority of the population appears to be quite insular or parochial.

My impression was that the majority of Americans only consumed local news, and perhaps were vaguely aware of some of what was going on in a nearby state.

If things have not changed since then then it should be no surprise that they have only a vague idea what their government gets up to outside their borders and even then it is assumed to be good, because well, because America is good.

You know the way Americans believe they are are Good and they believe that Canuks have an inferiority complex? Well, it is like Canukistans are Smug in the belief that they are better than Americans who are Crass & Ignorant and they Pity them.

*shrug*

YMMV[/quote]

My brother is currently working at Rochester College in Michigan and he would probably agree with this. He has commented on the insularity of the USA.

Also like me he can hardly believe the Presidential candidate debates going on at the moment. His take on US politics is that the GOP has become an ideology and will go the way of most ideologies. He says that the infrastructure is crumbling due to the current political ideology that makes it impossible to actually raise the taxes to pay for it and the USA could end up a bit like the USSR before it collapsed of it carries on like it is now.

I don't know if Caruthers is a racist, because his posts are too long to read, so I'll just go along with whatever you guys decide. He sure looks like a nice chap, going from his avatar.

It's true. I just used the search function to see if you were just making that up. Trust but verify you know? I've been fooled enough by Carruthers already

Aurini really was a subtle sneaky way to try to expose us to holocaust denialism.
Aaahh... Holocaust denialism. Well I was looking for a whole new hobby. Might as well check it out. Do they meet at bars?

My vote is on spending fifty bucks to get her bunghole waxed.

That would be an absurd way to spend 10% of the target amount.

That would be twice the $25 "tilt" amount, required to trigger her contributors having to fulfill their pledges.

That would be double the amount donated by Clair, and by Blythe, and five-times the amount donated by Kanane.

Is fifty bucks more than your entire donation, Oolon?

I mean, I'm being silly for suggesting she'd actually do such a thing. This is preposterous conjecture.

You know, waxing that stinky old muckspreader must be horrible enough. But just imagine how extra horrible it must be knowing that the person whose foul stinkhole you have to attend to for money will later go on to social media to whine about privilege.

And Google Ideas just tweeted a pic that is causing fits on Twitter. Not that there's much GG and assorted allies will be able to do about it - Google are waaaay too big. Aside from delisting sites, I wonder what else they've got in mind?

The resulting outrage (although mostly polite as far as I can see), then provoked Google Ideas into tweeting this:

After looking further, I think it's Holli Jacobs, revenge porn survivor. Anyway, she's hot.

Who knows what's up with this Google Ideas thing, but I am sure it will bode badly. Inviting Randi Harper was a silly move though. I notice Shanley was conspicuously absent. She must be fuming.

Ah yes, someone with a very legitimate grievance, also someone who didn't chum the waters and then complain about all the sharks that came circling.

June 2011: Google Ideas think tank gathering former extremists to battle radicalization
Technology giant Google, having conquered the Internet and the world around it, is taking on a new challenge: violent extremism.

The company, through its eight-month-old think tank, Google Ideas, is paying for 80 former Muslim extremists, neo-Nazis, U.S. gang members and other former radicals to gather in Dublin this weekend to explore how technology can play a role in de-radicalization efforts around the globe.
Eric Schmidt, Google’s executive chairman, said the company decided to get in the think tank business with the goal of tackling “some of the most intractable problems facing mankind by combining a new generation of leaders with technology. . . . We’re not looking for silver bullets but new approaches.”

Dublin? Dublin?! Are they fucking insane?

Well, I can only hope that they googled "Dublin" and "elevator" before they chose the hotel.

I thought it was funny at the time. I still do as a matter of fact.
So do I, but eventually even I took the hint that nobody liked it.

Oops.. maybe I confused her with this lady: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... Moore.html

God, what if that dude's story was true and he really did have his email hacked? It does happen. If his story is true, he's now permabranded as a revenge porn peddler, largely thanks to Google (and his poor grasp of Internet security).

This is why I love you Gumby.

But I should probably have said that in PM because now the speculations might stop.

To clear the air, Caruthers isn't really nazi, any more than Elyse really spent spent $50 getting her butthole waxed while begging for funds.
