No End in Sight to the Agonies of the Left
He’s not allowed to call her that.
A first world problem.
And don’t say seminal.
Or lunatic.
For Laurie, nothing less will do.
Wealthy people have distorted minds. If they’re wealthier than him, anyway.
A priestly caste.
You don’t get to do it. Because of her genitals.
The unending jollity of identity politics.
Because, obviously, the insufficiently leftwing want women crushed under their heel.
Secular worship.
And yet it’s difficult to burgle houses from inside a prison cell.
It rather depends on what you say.
Part 7 in our series. Do please keep them coming. Oh, and feel free to use the buttons in the sidebar. I have mambo records to buy. 
Watcher,
Previous instalments have featured people who say they “long for pure, uncomplicated political anger,” which seems an odd thing to long for, given the possibilities. And Laurie Penny’s fixation with anger and apocalyptic hyperbole is well known to regular readers. But then Laurie’s view of anger, theft, harassment and violence is oddly non-reciprocal. Her tribe is apparently entitled to be violent – like many of her peers, she’ll even redefine the word so as to exclude anything from physical assault to rioters smashing glass onto terrified people. Which makes me wonder which came first: the adolescent politics or the delinquent disposition?
I always find it amazing that I earn so much less, and have almost no power compared to these ‘un-privileged’ people.
I tried ringing up the BBC the other day, to see if I could offer my opinion on Newsnight, but they weren’t interested.
Must be the colour of my genitals.
even if they get what they want they would still find reason to be angry.
Most of them do not know what they want, other than to keep telling everybody how angry they are.

Anders Breivik engaged in pure, uncomplicated political anger.
Somehow, I have a feeling that’s not what they want.

Funny. I assume exactly the opposite.
” But then Laurie’s view of anger, theft, harassment and violence is oddly non-reciprocal.”
Indeed. I remember her being distinctly un-chuffed to be on the receiving end of David Starkeys ‘Comparative Rage’.
Perhaps one day we will have witch-hunts rooting out people who committed atrocious acts of Language Abuse.
One can dream…
Oh wait, we’ll need to keep a few lefties for that.
/back to the drawing board…
Would it be possible for you to put all the agonies into one long post please? And keep adding them to the end.
Matt.
I think this falls under the “Agonies of the Left” category, but in this case it’s a genuine agony they’re inflicting rather than an imaginary one they’re affecting.
At the “Good Men Project”, some arsehole writes that he told his four-year-old son he shouldn’t have tried to kiss a girl at school who, as it turned out, didn’t want to be kissed, because that was rape. He also says he’s more comfortable using the word “rape” than “sex” around the poor kid.

With parental guidance like that, how is this kid ever going to grow up not seriously sexually and personally dysfunctional?
