At most my reaction was "wow, this guy really believes his shit, and he's not bad at expressing it". But good lord, that's so far below my threshold for taking someone seriously it's not funny. If that was my litmus test, I'd probably be a Hordeling. Never take seriously anything simply by slickness of presentation or veneer of truthiness. Always beware demagoguery.
The joke is that that HateFacts presented (in the main) a better package of sources, consistent thesis and structure than Kirb’s libtard walls of text. Maybe not compelling to a liberal. But still.
Awkward.

Not sure what the obligation is for anyone here to refute alt-right / alt-right opinions.
But if anyone disagrees - I'm sure that the dump-trunk could arrive at any moment and unload a great steaming pile of them.

Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
I can't imagine what that would look like, really. That's likely a failure of my imigination. In our time, corporations have seized a great deal of control, and the only solutions that I think can envision as practical are those that work in tandem with market forces.Keating wrote: ↑That’s the rub though, isn’t it? What counts as giving in to dictatorial forces? There is precedent for some encroachment on liberties. We have position controls to prevent factories fouling public environments. I think it would be perfectly possible to construct a cogent argument that social inventions, like (say) universal suffrage, may similarly foul up a shared public cultural environment. (I haven’t actually tried, it’s an idea that just came to me, but seems plausible.) if so, what would be different about the controls on the factory to limiting sufferage?CaptainFluffyBunny wrote: ↑Oh, and I agree, you may be right.

I don't feel like hastening or being part of its demise, though, by eliminating some people's rights in the probably vain hope of preserving other's. Once we give in to dictatorial forces, the whole of democracy and culture is given to authorirarians. I'd rather it die naturally than ignomiously.

That’s equal parts insane, absurd and very funny.
I fear this board has no future other than the trite and trannies. Which is no problem in itself.
Just very low hanging fruit.
Maybe the true fainting couch N’s need a safe thread. Or maybe it’s time to let the fat lady sing. Maybe it’s just weird I have no-one on ignore. I’ve always seen that option as pathetically unaligned to ‘Pit culture.
Until, of course, you ignore entreaties to not be redundant and post your pet peeves ad nauseam. You decided that your agenda overruled manners, did the Aussie equivalent of Mykeru's shit gifs and then called people snowflakes when they objected. Then you got nasty and weird. I bet you're a hoot at parties.
The new dude seems cut from the same cloth. There are plenty of safe spaces that will unabashedly agree that whites are being replaced, genocide, etc. Pushback doesn't mean that we're afraid of your fucking views, nor needing a safe space, you precious little bastard. I grew up where one of our neighbors (kind of a misnomer as I lived far in the country) was a grand wizard of the KKK. My town was over 99% white, with a single Asian clan, that of course ran the Chinese restaurant. My fifth-grade teacher used the term "nigger" with gleeful abandon. I've heard it all before, sometimes by men with rifles. So please, spare me your simpering, self-indulgent bullshit. You went on ignore because you have the nuance of a fireaxe, you keep posting attention whores and you're being boorish. You could actually work to affect change in your country, but instead insist we all agree 100% with you here, or we're libtards. Funny, most agree with you to some extent or the other, but that simply isn't enough for you. Jesus, man, get a grip.
You got your thread, but the attention whores must have rubbed off on you (not in a good way) so that you feel you must grandstand in the main thread. Yeah, a few posters cheer you on. Most have asked you to stop or now put you on ignore, which I will do again shortly.
Take a fucking hint.
The arguments are remarkably close. Many in the KKK will profess that they don't hate blacks, but that they don't belong in white society. They are entirely against any immigration, and strongly believe their white, European heritage is in severe jeopardy. They will profess their great love for the importance of history, and that it is being sanitized to appease liberals. You may stop me when their's and Brive's arguments diverge. You might bring up the lynching, but they only did that when they felt there was a grievance that the courts refused to recognize. That also didn't happen much in the northern klans, which I was familiar with.
Unlike the far-left, I also know them as people. They were often cheerful and would happily help you change a tire or give you a lift. They weren't caricatures, not wholly evil, Hollywood tropes, but complicated people with a extremely flawed ideology. But it was an ideology most were too wrapped up in to actually see that everything they did was not only wrong, but counterproductive to their goals. But again, I was hoping most people would skip my little rant. Every once in a while, when somebody is yelling at you, it's cathartic to yell back. I'm absolutely done with it.

Yes, but also have very different economies and levels of traditional clannishishness. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you have two major hurdles-convincing a majority of the public and then making certain corporations (who currently profit from the status quo) don't sabotage any legislation.

The point is not so much that the IDF has a sexy spokeswoman whose uniform is crying out to be slowly unbuttoned. It's that if Hamas had a spokeswoman, she'd be inside a black garbage bag.

I understand all that. The US definitely projects itself as a nation of immigrants and as a melting pot rather than a multi-culti society. The melting pot is, as I understand it, about the common culture being a mixture drawing from the constituent cultures with everyone sharing civic values. This is a flavour of the civic nationalism Kirb goes on about. If the purely civic nationalist approach bumps it's head against the Eurocentric semi-ethnic reality in the US then I don't think it is feasible anywhere.

[....]
Some immigration and exposure to foreign cultures is desirable but what is happening in Europe is closer to an invasion sanctioned by the political classes.
The US today has c. 15 million illegal immigrants, almost exclusively from Latin America. (Not sure whether that's down from 30 million, or as the Ministry of Truth sez, we've always had 15 million undocumented migrants.) That's 5% of the total population. In no small part due to their illegal status, they do not assimilate or learn the language, rather they disappear into a vast shadow subculture. We don't have No-Go zones, but you can wander into sections of LA or in the Central Valley where for all intents & purposes it's a foreign land.
Now, although the US's illegal population is comprised of ignorant, superstitious, sexist peasants cruel to animals & enthralled to a primitive catholicism marked by cult worship of saints & the Virgin Mother, they have the potential to assimilate if compelled to. In contrast, there is no hope for integrating the moslems currently swamping Europe, barring their rapid apostasy from Islam.

FTR, I very rarely put a few commenters on ignore, not because I disagree with them, but rather if they prove either disingenuous, tendentious, or boringly repetitive. And I make exceptions, like when Kirb was going full Wonderist, because he has made significant contributions to the conversation.
HateFacts met the latter two above criteria right out of the gate, and now we know there was disingenuousness, too. A Pitizen trolling fellow Pitizens is way beyond the Pale, and seriously undermines the openness and trust and sense of fraternity that makes the Pit so special.
I hope Kirb seriously reflects on this and does indeed return to contribute to the vibrant culture here.
NB: IMO, the combo of the ignore feature plus dedicated side threads plays a large part in the Pit's ability to sustain its unique balance of honest, animated debate, diversity of views, and cohesive community.

Calling it bullying is bullshit - he was trying to get around rules that he knew existed by posting anonymously, which is also something that'll get you banned. It would have come out in the end anyway, even if the "Master Ruseman" twat hadn't fucked up.

Fuck him. Like I said he's welcome back but he's garnered rather a lot more dickhead points in my estimation, to go along with those he got for not answering simple questions I posed to him. It's a shame because he was often thoughtful and added real value, but that doesn't allow you to get away with dickhead prohibited behavior.
I hope he comes back, but that's his choice.

IIRC, house rules are: no posting as a guest if you have an account. Some folks occasionally can't, for one reason or another, log in, so they include their nym in the comment.

I've always bullied exhorted regularly posting guests to "get a goddamn 'nym" for three reasons: 1) to better keep track of who's saying what; 2) to promote the cohesiveness of the community; 3) yeah, to allow ignoring.

Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
I'm biased as Quadrophenia has been my all-time favorite since forever. But it and Who's Next are two different beasts. Quadrophenia is a true 'rock opera' with multiple leitmotifs building and intertwining throughout: most notably the theme of flowing water, and the four 'personality' tunes which, after introduced in the 'overture' (I Am The Sea), wend their way through the two 'acts' until bubbling up & blending into a crescendo in the penultimate track, The Rock.Lsuoma wrote: ↑You must have the extra extended version.

That may sound a bit pretentious, but it's a fucking brilliant album.
>> For shits & giggles, I once patched together a reconstructed Lifehouse, using Who's Next, B-sides, and some archive stuff Townshend released (primarily from Lifehouse Elements). It had potential to have been up there with Quadrophenia & Tommy.

Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
I wonder at what point the Jehovah's Witnesses get declared public enemy number one. At the very least their refusal to recite the pledge of allegience sets an example to other groups who could then dissent in other (and perhaps more disruptive) ways.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑
Yes, but those groups are not really a cultural threat. They are quite happy to keep to themselves.
Should the government be involved in active social engineering programs or should we carry on as usual with the defacto ones set up by Facebook / Twitter et al?

I'm hoping Criterion eventually release their print of the blu-ray in the U.K. It would be worth a double-dip.
Christ, Leslie Ash was gorgeous back then.

Y'know, I wonder if Ol' Kirbo was the greatest sock 'n' troll artist ever?

It's great, all right, but severely truncated. Well worth listening to the WHOle concert if you can find it (has it been released on CD yet?)DrokkIt wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 12:25 pmImo the finest The Who record is... LIVE AT LEEDS!!!

Which says more about ....Shatterface wrote: ↑ I was another who insisted Guest registered.
To be honest I suspected he was a Brive sock trying to get around my ignore.

Which would be presumptuous as I don’t think I replied or directly referenced any post (from memory). He was a rolling rock and I was keen to see how the Pit parried him.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑If he only would have used an avatar of a hot blonde with braids in a low cut peasant dress Brive might have proposed. :PTigzy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 4:33 amOnline profile:

Anyone who thinks I was being literal when I said “bullied” doesn’t understand my tendencies to exaggerate for effect. That would have been a very low threshold for the termMatt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑IIRC, house rules are: no posting as a guest if you have an account. Some folks occasionally can't, for one reason or another, log in, so they include their nym in the comment. Otherwise, it's tacit puppetry.MarcusAu wrote: ↑ I was not aware (or had forgotten) the policy here on socking (not that I'm doing it in any case).
I guess I mention it - because I was the one who prompted (or as some might put it 'bullied') the Faux-Right Guest into creating an account and logging in. As I would have done for any guest that was intent on creating an ongoing conversation here. Would Kirb have broken any rules if he had stayed as a guest and not created a second account?
I've always bullied exhorted regularly posting guests to "get a goddamn 'nym" for three reasons: 1) to better keep track of who's saying what; 2) to promote the cohesiveness of the community; 3) yeah, to allow ignoring.

My friends' band used to do a set of the original Live At Leeds tracks straight through.
The Isle of Wight concert is available, too, and the DVD is worth watching.
Re: Fuck off, Jamie!
This is the baggage I referenced. America has had an African black population for almost all its history. As my (properly sourced) graph showed Australia decided to enact demographic change in earnest around 1990 for Fortune 500 economic and liberal ideological reasons.CaptainFluffyBunny wrote: ↑
The arguments are remarkably close. Many in the KKK will profess that they don't hate blacks, but that they don't belong in white society. They are entirely against any immigration, and strongly believe their white, European heritage is in severe jeopardy. They will profess their great love for the importance of history, and that it is being sanitized to appease liberals. You may stop me when their's and Brive's arguments diverge. You might bring up the lynching, but they only did that when they felt there was a grievance that the courts refused to recognize. That also didn't happen much in the northern klans, which I was familiar with.
Unlike the far-left, I also know them as people. They were often cheerful and would happily help you change a tire or give you a lift. They weren't caricatures, not wholly evil, Hollywood tropes, but complicated people with a extremely flawed ideology. But it was an ideology most were too wrapped up in to actually see that everything they did was not only wrong, but counterproductive to their goals. But again, I was hoping most people would skip my little rant. Every once in a while, when somebody is yelling at you, it's cathartic to yell back. I'm absolutely done with it.
The fact Captain can’t see a difference here is testimony to his ingrained bias. I just wish he had indicated this problem earlier and I might have been kinder.
