Heed Ye, O Heed Ye, the Agonies of the Left

Poltergeists and Martians also spared.

Well, unlike the other thing, it allows you to posture with little physical risk.
And so modest with it.

During a software demonstration, the Patriarchy is caught red-handed.

Why, he’s practically punching that model into a smile.
Don’t question the importance of her selfies.

Daisy is a student “on medical leave” and a self-described “leftie feminist witch.” From what I can make out, she’s excited about Jeremy Corbyn and is travelling around Europe taking endless photos of her hair, which is blue.

I was sad to see that too. I treasure the memory of him correcting ‘less’ to ‘fewer’ on HIGNFY.
Death Mermaid Doll: “I have bpd (with the anxiety, dissociating, paranoia, idealizing/copying and black/white thinking parts especially strong so please go easy on me), and have been housebound from chronic pain and conversion disorder (where brain badness translates into physical pain) for a while, so ‘lol go outside’ is wasted on me.
I’m guessing from the age of about seven onwards.
DMD: “My MBTI thing is ISFJ if you’re interested”.
Actually, I’m not.
DMD: “Social Justice Warrior Princess. Or more boring, this blog is heavy on the social justice. Mostly to do with sexism, ableism and analyzing problems in media. I’m still learning”.
In other words, Death Mermaid Doll is what Daredevil would be like if he was a whiny, narcissistic, monumentally useless fucked-up superannuated teenage SJW. She’s 25 years old for Christ’s sake.
DMD: “”Like I said, I am learning and will often screw up, so if I do screw up, please don’t hesitate to come in my inbox and tell me”.
Sir, the Unwitting Parody Proximity Alarm is showing 9.98. I’ll try a re-set…. No, it hasn’t worked. Do you mind if I disable audio? Otherwise I’m gonna go deaf here.
Speaking of Daisy, I am guessing, “ox philosophy + linguistics student on medical leave”, means Oxford philosophy and linguistics student ?
If so, Twitter aside, and ignoring how someone on medical leave can go gallivanting about Europe, how an Oxford philosophy and linguistics student writes this stuff without terminal embarrassment is a wonder:
“…look like something from a fairytale and my first instinct was to be like ‘ikr its gr8’ im so proud…”
Not to mention the originality of, “david cameron more like david cameWRONG amirite”.
I had held out hope for her when I saw this, “jezza’s speech !!! what a Good”, but then I realized she was not talking about Clarkson, but that Corbyn bozo.
@ Lancastrian Oik – While we didn’t really need to see her Meyers-Briggs test, the results on it serve to confirm what we already knew.Intuitive Sensing Feeling Judging? (Iirc) “I make all of my decisions based on feelings and spirit whispers and am probably immune to logic” in this case? Run away, run away!

Now I’m curious. How likely do y’all suppose this is?
Just spent an hour reading the whole series. My hope for the future has really taken a hit.
No refunds. Credit note only.
My hope for the future has really taken a hit.
My hope for the future is that the coming Dark Age is relatively short, and that some remnant of Western Civilization (which would almost *have* to be a sane remnant in order to survive the Collapse) will re-take the world from the various barbarian hordes currently streaming out of the Middle-East.
As I have no children though, my personal investment in the future beyond my own lifetime is effectively non-existent. One half-niece doesn’t resonate with my “protect the bloodline!” instinct nearly as much as children of my own body would.
For those of you with children, I suggest firearms training and a good bug-out plan.
Coddling the insane leads to no good.
Catherine Deveny of I regard heterosexual marriage as a much more important feminist issue and bigger oppressor of women than the burka fame looks like re-proving once again for the umpteenth time the rule that all ranting, bitter, feminists have daddy issues:
I was born on fathers’ day. I hated my father. I’m glad he’s dead

Mermatriarch claims to be “ravenpuff.”
No such thing: the sorting hat sends you to one house only, and EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
But then, she does traffic in improbabilities, so there’s that.
Coddling the insane leads to no good.
The truly insane do need coddling, given that the voices in their heads tend to revile, upbraid, and berate the victims mercilessly.
It’s the narcissistic, status-craving, obnoxious wannabees who think that their delicate conditions absolve them from self-examination or criticism.
Or as Spiny Norman observed:
Those with real mental illnesses would give an arm and a leg to be quit of the demons in their heads, whose existence is not to be embraced but rather lamented.
That’s probably a good tell for the real ones: the real ones find mental illness to be a nearly unbearable burden; the fake ones think it makes them interesting and exotic.
Wow. Daisy’s a silly twit, ain’t she? Poor thing, doesn’t even know how much of a dumbass she is.
Ms Deveny describes herself as a “social media consultant,” a “highly regarded consultant in… cultural trending.” Which reminded me of this:

It’s like when someone refers to “pop culture” as an area of expertise.
Dan said: “I am working on a Python script that will generate inspirational feminist sayings on Twitter: @GeniRede”
It can start off with ‘What have the womans ever done for us?’
Yet more reasons why I don’t have a Twitter account.
My day job involves, in part, the design of unmanned offshore platforms, but robotic offshore platforms are way cooler. They might even walk out to sea themselves.
Heh.
And if you dare to mock hashtag warriors and their self-imagined radicalism, you must, simply must, dislike disabled people.

Do keep up. The rules change overnight.
Also, putting bread in the refrigerator makes it degrade faster.
Either the breadbox on the countertop OR the freezer.
Instalanche, David.
You might want to put the you-know-what in the back room for the nonce.
We need more coasters.
As long as we are speaking of SJWs, please enjoy the adventures of Gyno-Star !.

How many women work in the North Sea area? Are they being discriminated out of jobs by society making them not apply for these dirty and dangerous roles?

I don’t venture down the SJW path. There lies madness.
‘Save Darfur is famous, not for its cries of protest against the world’s indifference to a crime against humanity, but for the demonstrable indifference of the supposed do-gooders, who signed up to it. As it turned out, they weren’t do-gooders, but look-gooders. They publicly announced their righteousness and then did nothing at all.
The University of California found 99.76 per cent of the one million-plus members failed to donate a penny to the cause.
“The study is an important counter-balance to unbridled enthusiasm for the powers of social media,” said one of its researchers. “There’s no inherent magic. Social media can activate interpersonal ties but won’t necessarily turn ordinary citizens into hyper-activists.”
Or indeed any kind of activist. James Bartholomew came up with the wonderful label ‘virtue-signalling’ to describe the narcissism of their gesture politics. You see it every day on the Web. (Every day? What am I talking about? Every minute.)
The 140-character pronunciamentos. The activists who think they can deliver socialism with an angry Facebook status. The furious complaints all writers get from all sides demanding in outraged terms ‘what gives you the right to say this’. To which the only answer is ‘I have as much or as little right as you. If you disagree with me so violently, why don’t you write a book or make a film to put your point of view?’
They never do. It is not just that their only talent is to beat their chests and howl like enraged orang-u-tangs. They lack the application to construct an argument that might appeal to the unconverted, or tell a story that remedies the real and imagined biases of this novelist or that filmmaker’.

As it turned out, they weren’t do-gooders, but look-gooders.

That could easily be a motto for the Agonies series, and for the left more generally. Though readers’ definitions of doing good may depart somewhat from those being tweeted.
For instance.
“Aggressive public displays of virtue are where the morally deplorable hide.”
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/21/heres-why-the-progressive-left-keeps-sticking-up-for-pedophiles/
“Aggressive public displays of virtue are where the morally deplorable hide.”
Heh. Well, it does seem to be an odd thing to do, this habitual, almost neurotic signalling of piety. I can’t offhand think of a not-peculiar reason to spend so much time publicly saying, in effect, “Look at me and how nice and caring I think I am. Listen to all the things I disapprove of.” I mean, for instance, this tweet is only comprehensible if you think of leftism in terms of display. Or pretence.

“Masculinity is a social construct… created by Patriarchy.”

“Masculinity is a social construct… created by Patriarchy.”
Oh dear. But this is what happens when the credulous listen to Women’s Studies lecturers, who generally have qualifications in English literature instead of, say, biology or neuroscience.
[ Added: ]
I notice Ms Cueto seems baffled and exasperated that some male readers have taken exception to her pronouncements and general air of condescension. Which is odd, really, as it seems she’s insisting that men in general have something terribly and profoundly wrong with them and therefore need fixing. By enlightened people like her.
Of course by contrast there is putting one’s butt on the line . . . literally.

You wouldn’t get that kind of thing at John Lewis.
So…..
Gender is a choice, yet people who decide to be women are discriminated against.
So these people DECIDE to be inferior (in their view).
