The Agonies of the Left, They Never End
Attention
menfolk, you are faulty, inferior beings unless you agree with Laurie and Hugo.
All
this stuff. Hates capitalism.
It
isn’t your money so shut up.
National
columnist and BBC regular Owen Jones: a man silenced by the hegemony.
Saving
the world with a high-tech leftwing rebel elite.
Update:
Behold the corrected, post-Patriarchy male. No longer a faulty, inferior being.
Do
please keep them coming. Our betters have much to teach us.
I know the left doesn’t get much of a platform
Snort!
And space robots and monster trucks.
LOL
I like sexual deviance with fat birds too.
But does that mean I’m actually going to have to read Laurie’s book?

Therein madness lies.
It’s a laugh or cry thing, isn’t it?
It’s a laugh or cry thing, isn’t it?
Laugh when they don’t have power over you.
While there remains a single person, somewhere, who doesn’t agree with them, jones and the rest of the Far Left will continue to believe the fiction that they are marginalised.
Whereas their control of the media is colossal in comparison to their derisory presence in the population.
Things belong to people. The State doesn’t exist or have rights. The institutions which we approve of and allow to operate have obligations (which we, the people define). We hand over some of our wealth for them to do our bidding.
We came first. Our ability to create value for our fellows is innate and we do it through enlightened self-interest. The Stete is the compendium of institutions we have approved of. Now many of us are thinking of withdrawing approval from some of those institutions.
The State does not rule me (or shouldn’t)
Do not forget this Mr. Murphy.
The End of Patriarchy is the BEGINNING of men’s opportunity to stop being half-people and to become complete human beings
And where do I buy this Kool-Aid?
Jesus, they really are into themselves, aren’t they?
Jesus, they really are into themselves, aren’t they?
For some, it’s almost a religion of self-flattery.
Does this Murphy character actually believe what he’s writing? Or is just trolling Twitter?
Please tell me its the second of those
Please tell me it’s the second of those.
Oh, he’s a believer. For Mr Murphy, the state is all. You are but a tick upon its fur. See Tim’s place for more.
“For some, it’s almost a religion of self-flattery”, for all of them, I’m afraid. It is Thomas Sowell’s Vision of the Annointed, whose principle characteristic is self congratulation.
Self flattery, from a man who believes that men are only half-human? It’s certainly self-flattery on Laurie Penny’s part, but for Hugo Schwyzer it’s surely more that other unpalatable characteristic of the left, self-hatred and worship of the other? There is perhaps a certain degree of self-congratulation that he’s the only sub-human who understands he’s sub-human, but he still thinks he’s sub-human.
You wicked people … I now had to go read Hugo’s twitter timeline and came across the concept of a “knitted vagina purse”
and then I googled….
Good lord.
Behold the corrected, post-Patriarchy male.
Not big on rugged individualism then?
Not big on rugged individualism then?
Mr Badass doesn’t strike me as the rugged, reliable frontier type. He’s more the fretting-about-whether-his-straightness-is-oppressing-people-on-Twitter type. Which is a new and thrilling type of maleness, one previously unknown to me. He was, briefly, one of the people involved in Laurie Penny’s latest drama.
I assume Laurie hates capitalism too. Is she going to give her book away? Sell it at cost?
Patrick,
Self-flattery, from a man who believes that men are only half-human?
The point is that he, unlike us, has seen through The All-Pervasive Patriarchal Matrix™. He’s therefore more enlightened than us. Superior, as it were. In fact, he’s exactly the kind of superior and enlightened person that should be in charge, correcting the rest of us, leading us to the light. It’s a form of leftwing social positioning, a display of status and moral elevation, which professed egalitarians seem to like a great deal and to which they devote considerable time and effort. It goes something like this: “I am better than you because I pretend to feel worse.”
Couldn’t they try self flagellation instead, actually agonies instead of imagined ones.
Oh, Penny… I bet there is at least one sexual deviance you don’t like. Go on, admit it. Then I can cancel my order for baked beans with sausages and tell the local hamsters to stand down.
I think Laurie’s having some sort of meltdown as she tries to justify her kneejerk ‘close-the-conversation-down accusations of racism:
“Why is it that thinkers on left and right seem happy to be called ‘sexist’ – but when ‘racism’ is mentioned they explode + threaten to sue?”
I mean, where to start with that one? ‘Thinkers’? Are people really ‘happy’ to be called ‘sexist’? Is she really saying (despite being comically thin-skinned herself) that she should be allowed to spray around the ‘racist!’ accusation without upsetting anyone? That being called a racist is really no big deal?
Don’t forget, Laurie P is really a price-discovering free-market capitalist when employer reality pays her a visit…

The poster-girl of lefty hypocrisy.
I’m beginning to believe that the driving force behind the “Let It Burn” idea is that Leftist silliness would sort of tend to dry up and blow away in a climate of scarcity. People would tend to not give these foolish, annoying notions any traction when they have real problems to face, in other words. When the money’s run out, which it has, do we continue to use tax money to pay for some nitwit’s sociology degree? Do we prosecute hate speech, or violent offenders? Do we continue paying for anything on the Left’s wishlist as the Iron Years descend upon us?
Let it burn.
@Mike James..
totally agreed.
Leftism is a kind of parasitic texture, growing on the underlying, wealth-creating free-market substrate.
In lean times, the parasite dies.
“I like sexual deviance with fat birds too.
But does that mean I’m actually going to have to read Laurie’s book?”
You could wait for the pop-up version?
“Saving the world with a high-tech leftwing rebel elite.”
Only high-tech? Didn’t the Ewoks come in darned useful?
Tom,
Is she really saying (despite being comically thin-skinned herself) that she should be allowed to spray around the ‘racist!’ accusation without upsetting anyone?
You’re looking for consistency in the pretensions of a dogmatic fabulist. This is someone who rails against “the bruised superstructure of patriarchal capitalist control” and who equates a £20,000 cap on housing benefit with the industrial extermination of Jewish people during World War II. It helps to bear in mind that Laurie’s so-called principles are often non-reciprocal. She and her fellow self-declared radicals are entitled to smash your stuff and do violence to you, to harass and occupy in the name of “revolution” and “social justice,” but call her juvenile and there’s howling indignation and claims of “being attacked.”
David,
Can I get you some thumbs-up buttons for Christmas, or is that too pedestrian for your tastes?
Anyway, double-triple like on Mike’s/Ace’s Let It Burn. Conservatives end up caving in to the Leftists anyway. Why give them a scapegoat for their policy failures via the excuse that it’s all the Republican’s fault because they didn’t let us go far enough. It wouldn’t take long before people who are living as comfortably as modern society has become accustomed, even the Lefties, before they’d be crying for the heads of the SOBs who took their Playstations away.
My book’s going to be about feminism and activism and gender anarchy and socialism and sexual deviance and space robots and monster trucks.
You’ve made my afternoon. ;D
That Richard Murphy describes himself as an economist is the most scary thing. He’s as much use as a flat-earther designing a satellite.
sue blue,
My book’s going to be about feminism and activism and gender anarchy and socialism and sexual deviance and space robots and monster trucks.
No, don’t laugh. She’s the ‘riot girl’ from Wadham College – the one “screaming defiance” in between moodswings and trips to the hair salon. And mark her words, she and the “new” left are going to “bring the whole thing crashing down.”
WTP,
Can I get you some thumbs-up buttons for Christmas, or is that too pedestrian for your tastes?
That’s a TypePad thing, not just me being snooty.
People would tend to not give these foolish, annoying notions any traction when they have real problems to face, in other words.
Except for two things:
Progressivism in the U.S. took a Giant Leap Forward during the Great Depression. People felt helpless, and FDR (the merciful, the benevolent, pbuh) saved them by implementing (or providing precedent for) all of the onerous gubmint programs that now have us $16 trillion in debt and as unprepared for reality as any zoo animal.
The idiotic ideas that fuel left-wing vanity might disappear, but their craving for domination never sleeps. Cloward-Piven posits that they should MAKE it burn so that the second wave, waiting in the wings, will save the populace from the ensuing chaos by imposing order.
“Saving” that the populace, having already been rendered unable to fend for itself, will cry out for.
That’s how the Taliban took Afghanistan and Napoleon France: The strong men restored order following the chaos that followed the revolution/collapse.
More on ‘Professor’ Schwyzer…
Professor blames mass shootings on ‘white male privilege’
Only in academia can one make a theory, disprove it in the next paragraph and still collect a paycheck from hard-working taxpayers.

“Where did this absurd myth that the gov’ts money is “ours” come from?”
Because the government is supposed to be composed of “our” elected public servants? Because they’re supposed to be running the nation’s affairs for the benefit of, and in accordance with the wishes of “their” masters who voted them into office? Perhaps?
“since straight cis male sexuality already takes up so much space (forcibly so even) I don’t feel comfortable expressing my own”
Ironically, you only start producing such humiliating outpourings of neurotic whimpering after you’ve stopped “being half people” and “become complete human beings”. Equally ironic, it comes from someone with “Badass” in their Twitter monicker.
Most of these idiots use terms I seriously doubt they even begin to understand. Laurie Penny suspicious of vanguardism? Bitch, please…get a life and an education. And I’m ever so surprised that her book is going to be about activism! and feminism! and blah! blah! blah! I almost feel shame by mocking them…it’s just too easy.
Oh god. I think I can laugh at all of those quite happily except for the Murphy one. What a turd.
Shorter Murphy:
You are all serfs and how DARE any of you think you deserve more than what we say you should have.
Notice the last guy is claiming to have Aspergers — the trendiest neurological problem evah! Easier to make that claim than admit to yourself you’re just a nasty individual.
“I know the left doesn’t get much of a platform” is Owen on drugs? sorry scratch that.
“Oh god. I think I can laugh at all of those quite happily except for the Murphy one. What a turd.”
He’s a colossal turd, agreed, but within his morally obnoxious twitterings, comedy is to be found.
His utter ignorance of the supposed role of government and its relationship with the electorate is worth a chuckle in and of itself. He’s an “anti-poverty campaigner and tax expert”, according to the Guardian. A tax expert who doesn’t know why people think their tax money belongs to them.
He also appears to have not fathomed that we currently have a mostly Tory government. What Mr anti lefty anti poverty campaigner has just unwittingly declared is that you effectively owe the Tories large amounts of your money to spend as they please.
Even the most unpleasant of leftist idiots has some comedy potential in them somewhere.

Thanks for a year’s worth of laughs, David. I’ve put a little something in your tip jar.
Mike,
I’ve put a little something in your tip jar.
Much appreciated. May your sandals remain fragrant on the hottest of days.
Richard Murphy, Nadia Kamil, Owen Jones, Laura Barnett (Laurie Penny’s real name, if what I’ve read is accurate). It’s like a Who’s Who of twattery.
The End of Patriarchy is the BEGINNING of men’s opportunity to stop being half-people and to become complete human beings
It sounds like a new age religion.
Dani,
It sounds like a new age religion.
Before shaping young minds as a Professor of Gender Studies at Pasadena City College, Mr Schwyzer apparently had a history of sexual relationships with students that he now regards as “unethical”. He also attempted a murder/suicide with an unwitting ex-girlfriend while high as a kite. He then appears to have found redemption in dogmatic feminism. So. Not too wide of the mark, perhaps. Maybe he tells himself “the Patriarchy made me do it.”
Hey, Mr. Murphy:

WTF asked:

Wouldn’t a different finger be more appropriate for Laurie Penny’s tweets?
Not having heard of Schwyzer before, I found it amusing to see that he’s a violent misogenist wannabe-killer (reformed);
