Peez should've chosen a name other than "freethought" to better reflect the miraculous nature of his blog network.
The odds that not just Peez, but Peez and 2 of his blogmates endured (staggeringly rare) false rape accusations are almost beyond comprehension.
Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
No wonder they're all crazy, then. The words "ally" and "accused" have an inevitable affinity for each other, like "bread" and "butter."

Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
In this instance she ought to be angry. That dishonest, self-serving tranny dipshit wrote about his oh-so-serious concern for women's health, as if the size rules that barred him from playing could somehow induce the weight obsession that turns women anorexic. Which, of course, is horseshit. The rules were made to keep 6ft 3in 220lb galoots like himself off the field. He has no more business mixing it up with natural-born women than he does with elementary schoolkids. Put simply, he's a coward.CommanderTuvok wrote: ↑ Ophelia is getting so angry that she is in danger of shaking out that cobweb. ;)

They put you on the side of the racist kooks, even if you're not one of them, and make it EVEN LESS likely than people like Doherty will change their minds about islam. Deep down the leftist reluctance to take on islam is motivated by the fear of bringing fuel to the fire of racism. People like you or Steerzo seem to confirm their fears. Good job, I guess.
You can't bring secularism to muslim immigrant communities if what you're arguing for is White Australia, or "Culturally Anglo" Australia. Unless what you want isn't secularism, but something else. :bjarte:
Now let’s see.
However people like you ... Nasty twist to start with there Kirb.
how terrible it is that immigrants are making Australia no longer white, You are an ingenuous poor faith participant in this discussion.
As you know full well, my desire is to retain what we can of our distinctive Australian identity based which is based on shared heritage and history. A unique culture that has evolved by taking these traits, mixing them over time with the specific eddies and swirls that our geography imposes. A culture which quite happily existed within your hallowed Western European tradition.
Not one where we ship in hundreds of thousands of immigrants every fucking year, year on year to fuel fake growth. Immigrants who bring their own developed identities which include hijabs and foreign language. And do so in material demographic blocks. Immigrants that then concentrate in high value social areas like our two cities and proceed to terraform them. And come into a libtard mindset that celebrates this mass diversity as a strength.
So keep with your Nazi racist rhetoric if it’s an argument you think you can win. Enjoy.
Here is our confusion in full display. :lol: :bjarte:
Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
Women's sports are going to be such a fuck festival of stupidity. Well I suppose they are already. But honestly, why doesn't every man who didn't make the grade in professional sports just grow his hair long, call himself Portia, and join the ladies' teams? If you're into your sport, fuck man, just make a switch and suddenly you're an Olympian.
I really love how insane it is at this point.

One wonders why Kirb chooses to live in Switzerland. Why not Turkey? Would his decision to live in Switzerland change if the entire population of Switzerland were replaced with current Turks who have current Turkish culture? What if only 50% of the population of Switzerland were replaced with Turks who have current Turkish culture? 20%? How is that concept different from a handful Turks entering Switzerland and choosing to adopt and engage in current Swiss culture, rather than maintaining their Turkishness?

It's worth a curated approach? Is that an apologist way of saying he really is a kook and an unreliable source but because some of the kooky stuff he says I agree with so I will cherrypick it and use him as a source? He is an idiot that was wrong about the holocaust, has kooky conspiracy theories about the JFK thing among others or his airy fairy occult shit. Like a typical huckster psychic they make goofy predictions that are almost always wrong, but when they make the rare accurate prediction their gullible fans point to it as them being prescient.
As for his delivery and clarity. :roll: He hedges a lot of what he says because he wants to be able to get away with inferring goofy rumor stuff and not have to get nailed about if someone points out it is bullshit. I don't find him particularly entertaining either with his monotone flat delivery or his creepy anorexic leather queen appearance and mannerisms.
As for Dilbert: It isn't Adam's weirdness that causes me not to be a fan. I don't find it entirely unfunny, sometimes I've seen it and it is mildly witty. It mostly is just kind of bland. Adams is a mediocre humorist/cartoonist and a failure as a social commenter/ philosopher. His videos are mostly empty air, you can go for 5 minutes or so with him just giving empty content before he finally gets around to making a point, which is usually just parroting the most recent piece of right wing propaganda he's heard.
Even if Styxenwhatever wasn't weird looking and a crappy interlocutor I would still not like him because he is full of shit most of the time and similarly if Adams were not a boring nerd my main reason for not liking him is because he is basically a vapid twat that just parrots the typical propaganda that is repeated over and over daily.
If you think I have been intellectually inconsistent kindly point out where I have done that. I'm always open to self improvement.

My answer was implicit in my response. I find Styx's JFK stuff as screwball and as irrelevant as Adams views on The Secret. I sort through the value I receive from various channels. Including you.
Re Styx, clearly the man had/has a useful perspective on 2016, far more than a fluke given his daily output. And clearly he is in the middle of the social media free speech debate and therefore has a POV that is useful input.
You say Styx is "full of shit". I guess that's your way of presenting a closed case? :shifty: Clearly its not the case in some areas - and the value lies in challenging yourself with the question "to what extent is this POV right or wrong and why do I think that". Sometimes you realise you don't know why you've had a gut reaction, so you do some research. Continuous learning.
It's like the Howard Donahue's theory on the JFK shooting. I find it very unlikely that Hickey shot the President. But it is interesting learning about ballistics/trajectories and working out why I think the theory is problematic. That's the process. Extract the gold.
It explains some of my posting history here too. Ie "Here is a piece of evidence that would seem to support a line of thought". Why shouldn't it be taken seriously? If there is/isn't a good reason (other than 'racist dog' ) it doesn't prove the proposition, but it is a data point.

The infrastructure here in Sydney is failing and it is compromising quality of life.
Your recent example would involve the golden age of Australia in the 50s and 60s before they let all the wogs in. From your own experience this supreme culture was literate, but in the case of your own house put in sewage systems with short systems of clay pipes. You would think they would have known that the system was designed to fail, unable to maintain a straight course because of the inevitable imperfect soil settling. Joints that could have been designed to fail, allowing root and soil intrusion. I have walked through the 1000 year old city of Teohautican in Mexico and the storm sewers still work. It is not established whether they were fully literate, but they did have calendars and surprisingly sophisticated observatories. Funny that the Golden age of Australia has failed to design a city that would fail in a few short centuries. :P
Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
That wasn't the point of the question. That's your free range roaming.
The 1950s and 60s (more like 60s and 70s) provide a contrast in identity as compared to today.
Yes. I have argued that identity is critical to cohesion. But not that time should stop at some useful milestone point. Or that the milestone was itself cultural best practice. It was simply "our" national experiment at a point in time.
I have always promoted natural social development stemming from shared heritage and history, a common feeling of collective experience and coloured by geography. 70K immigration was the long term average.

The questions were not a test or a challenge. They are the questions that have driven my posting over the past few months. Questions all too often consigned to the racist ethnostate bucket. I have been disappointed that the racial card has been the default joker played by some in lieu of discussion or debate.
The 1950s and 60s (more like 60s and 70s) provide a contrast in identity as compared to today.
Yes. I have argued that identity is critical to cohesion. But not that time should stop at some useful milestone point. Or that the milestone was itself cultural best practice. It was simply "our" national experiment at a point in time.
I have always promoted natural social development stemming from shared heritage and history, a common feeling of collective experience and coloured by geography. 70K immigration was the long term average. And not from Somalia. Our multiculti / immigration policy has shat all over evolved development.

Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
The infrastructure point was that clearly immigration is not proceeding to a pragmatic plan but to another agenda. Sydney is simply not designed to be the global city that official policy now demands. And the losers (and those expected to pay) are the long term residents who were not consulted.
Further our government at the state level has demonstrated time and time again that it cannot manage the investment required to keep up with run away growth.
So now we have grid-locked travel from our high density apartments which are smashed along 1920's era heavy rail with 1 million dollar ticket prices.
Muli Culti has provided the host society with a falling standard of living in order to prove a small segment of the third world with a better one. In reality, lower standards of living and infrastructure failure is fuel for developers and hence a driver for empty (ie individually worthless) economic growth.
We are a case study in getting raped.
Or am I wrong?

Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
Meh. Swings and round abouts when it was all about harvesting green fodder, organising the manufacture of food and sorting out dry fodder where necessary. That accounts for oh, say 2500 years of recorded history. I'd rather be a Roman than a soldier in the 30 Years War. And probably (on any given day) a Frenchman in 1809 than a Prussian in 1866.
Obviously changed when industrialization, shells, mass armies and byo infrastructure came into effect. Something not always aligned with the arrival of the solution (rail, sea transport and trucks).
Absolutely fascinating.

Doherty, if he were a coherent secularist, should be the first to criticize the creepy influence of islam in the lives of women, and to question the role of religious education in general, and of the messages taught by muslim religious schools in particular.
The reluctance to criticize islam as heavily as one criticizes Christianity, along with a lot of ignorance about the extent of the authoritarian and sexually predatorial nature of muslim standards, is one of the worst parts of the Western Left. Doherty's reluctance to criticize islam as much as he does to Christianity is very disappointing.
However people like you, who, instead of coherently defending liberal democratic/Enlightenment ideas, blather endlessly about how terrible it is that immigrants are making Australia no longer white, definitely don't help. If it's theocracy and religious authoritarianism that you're worried about all the bullshit about posters in Chinese, or non-white actors playing Shakespeare, or a non-white woman playing Jean D'Arc, or focusing so much on ethnicity in general, or parroting fascist, mystic Russians, or scaremongering about hordes of Africans being whitewashed from the mainstream media, are incredibly counterproductive.
They put you on the side of the racist kooks, even if you're not one of them, and make it EVEN LESS likely than people like Doherty will change their minds about islam. Deep down the leftist reluctance to take on islam is motivated by the fear of bringing fuel to the fire of racism. People like you or Steerzo seem to confirm their fears. Good job, I guess.
You can't bring secularism to muslim immigrant communities if what you're arguing for is White Australia, or "Culturally Anglo" Australia. Unless what you want isn't secularism, but something else. :bjarte:
But generally not a bad argument with some reasonable points, notably the problematic reluctance of the Left to criticize Islam. However, it also looks like a bit of a false dichotomy - either the Left turning a blind eye to Islam or the Right devolving into the "racism" and the outright nazism of the Far Right. Not to mention making a bit of a strawman out of the latter, and ignoring the roots of it.
But a bit of a challenge to see how society can find a path between those two hazards, between Scylla and Charybdis. And sure don't see much evidence of the Muslim community stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for the "flaws" you reference - you may recollect the noisome objections of the Muslim commmunity in France to recent calls for them to cut out the more egregious & odious sections of their "holy book" [ha!] (doubt there would be much left if they did so). But absent such efforts towards reform, I don't see there's much choice to do other than to steer more to the right - like closing the borders to Muslims, and closing mosques and deporting mullahs as they've done recently in Austria. To start with.

Cultures change, and peer pressure changes people's minds. Do you think that there's a magical property to German soil that created Nazism, or that Nazism was an essential part of German culture? Nazism shaped Germany through control of the institutions (academia, state, unions, etc.) and peer pressure. Once the Nazi control of institutions was shattered Germany went through a different path.Keating wrote: ↑Kirbmarc wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 10:27 pmBecause it's a secular liberal democracy, and not an authoritarian, militaristic clusterfuck which got recently hijacked by theocrats?Keating wrote: ↑ One wonders why Kirb chooses to live in Switzerland.

Culture isn't something hardwired in your brain at birth. It's an effect of the society you live in. People are shaped by the institutions which control cultural changes and by peer pressure. The vast majority of people follow the lead of their "community leaders" and of the group they identify with.
Culture isn't a mystical, unchangeable essence that people carry in their heart of hearts. It's a series of social norms that you see a normal, and what makes you see those norms as normal are the authorities and institutions of the place where you live AND your circle of friends and acquaintances.
With enough strength to social institutions and the right amount of peer pressure, cultures CHANGE and they do it quickly. Just a few decades ago gay people were seen as abnormal and insane. Today most people in the "west" see them as normal and more or less acceptable.
Indeed we've SEEN this happening in the atheism/skeptic sphere. People like PZ went from harshly criticising islam to saying that islam "wasn't the problem" because his circle of friends and acquaintances told him so. And many of those friends and acquaintances ha studied in universities, or had read media, which was shaped in such a way that it defined ALL criticism of islam as being worse than Christianity today as a whole as being a sign of a white supremacist inner bias.
Hell, people here moan endlessly about university courses being infested by SocJus ideas, and so shaping the ideas of people who attend university. If those people were magically carrying the culture of their fathers and grandfathers which was resistant to change, HOW could this happen?
Are there problems with integrating immigrants from very closed off, ghettoized cultures? Of course. But those problems can't be solved with shrieking about posters in Chinese, or black women playing Jean D'Arc. You need to instead increase cultural peer pressure, to integrate people better, to USE the liberal social institutions to incentivate and enact cultural changes, instead of letting people get away with things that aren't compatible with liberal democracies just because "it's their culture".
Indeed if you're worried about immigrants "changing the culture", a black woman playing Jean D'Arc is a POSITIVE thing, it's a sign of INTEGRATION. Here you have a woman whose ancestors weren't born in French, but who feels so French that she feels an emotional connection to a famous French icon. For people who are worried about cultural change that should be a good sign.
As I've written MANY times and at length the problems with muslim communities are due to a) "community leaders" financed by Gulf theocracies who teach about an incoming muslim takeover of the world b) religious education being allowed to teach bigoted/violent messages (again, very often with textbooks written by clerics who have studied in Gulf theocracies) c) lack of secular harsh and widespread criticism of islam, and instead the idiotic "diversity" approach to islamic backwardness as if it were just a cultural quirk d) lack of support for the liberal/modern parts of those communities, and instead offering institutional power to the reactionary, conservative thought leaders because they're more "representative".
In some parts of the world this happens less than in others. In Switzerland people are required to follow common rules with exceptions because "it's against my religion". The authorities don't care about your conservative religious hangups, you need to send your children to swim lessons, to shake hands with officials, teachers and in general people of the other sex, to obey the law and the norms as everyone else does.
In the UK this doesn't happen, instead religious education is given a lot of leeway, religious tribunals are recognized and sanctioned by the state, people don't ask immigrants to move on from their religious backward ideas, instead accommodate to those ideas in a misguided attempt at being "tolerant". And conservative/reactionary imams and other thought-leaders are celebrated as "community leaders" or even "civil rights activists", while only those who actively preach violence are shunned.
There's the difference. It's not a matter of cultural essences. It's a matter of requiring equal standards, of requiring effort to respect laws and norms instead of being given a pass because of "cultural differences".

You didn't "laughingly address" liberal democratic values, you just laughingly dismissed them.
The countries which rejected the appeal to "muh tradition" and set up liberal democracies have far better standards of living and social peace than those which are still anchored to the "powerful spiritual" narratives.
We no longer live in a world where you can hunker down in your small village where you are born, live and die. Identity-based nationalism has been proven multiple times to lead to authoritarian disasters or civil wars, from the Balkan wars to the current state of the middle east.
Sharia is what's holding muslim states back. The Gulf theocracies are only rich because of oil, otherwise they're a bunch of illiterate, uneducated, scientifically and culturally backward shitholes. They have gigantic skyscrapers and no functional sewer systems. Once the oil stream will run out they'll crumble to pieces.
Indian castes are becoming chafing for India, and will cause them loads of problems once their economy finishes to modernize. China has to be an Orwellian authoritarian state to keep its wage slaves in line and avoid fracturing over a thousand of cultural minority issues.
If what you want is authoritarianism and backwardness in the name of preserving the "spiritual tradition" of an European country I guess you can move to Russia. Or wait for a few years and then move to Poland or Hungary. :bjarte:

It'd be interesting to look into who finances his mosque...Sons of Islam, there is a war of infidels taking place everywhere. The true man is the boy who opposes Israeli tanks with strength and faith. The boy who, despite his mother's objections, goes out to war to become a martyr like his elder brother.
