I know little about the deeper philosophical implications of the trans question, but i try to keep an eye on surface-level developments within the intra-LGBT culture war between the TERFs and the transwomen it seems that the dreaded TERFs caused a ruckus yesterday at the London pride parade, resulti...

i didn't see this one coming! dalrymple's soviet travelogue is an old favourite of mine, i think there's a few quotes in the roots of sjwism thread. will post some thoughts once i've listened to both parts

what happened to the other boarders? it was always a quiet, slow-paced board but the disappearance of others seemed very sudden to me.

i've always been more of a lurker than contributor, but it was a nice place while it lasted

telford case... no one cares
tell a joke... go to jail

another trans vs bio-woman feminist schism



the comments are worth a read

What is a Bugman? Aesthetically they’re much like their name, bug-eyed, jittery and insect-like, their very demeanour often makes one’s skin crawl. You’re more than likely surrounded by hoards of these bovine-esque people in day-to-day life. Culturally of course they’re near impossible to pin down ...

Over the Christmas period I delved a little into the vlogosphere and didn't find much worth engaging, but Sargon for all his faults still provides a valuable service - highlighting recent leftist insanity and critiquing the alt right (with varying levels of success). His conversation with "Millennia...

Are you familiar with my 'Does a worker ant know it's a worker ant' theory?

I'm not, but I'd like to hear about it!

An experiment could be performed though, Semper (or one of the pseudonymous members here) could post the Taki article at the Old Place and see what happens. I predict it will be dismissed but if imbibed it could be interesting. This'd be posted lickety split. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/...

We were talking of the old-guard of Socialism/Communism above, the ones who never really bought into the intersectionality interpretations of Marxism, perhaps they will re-emerge and do a "back to basics" thing when this clusterfuck is over. How does the clusterfuck end? Stalin stopped the leftward...

Naked mole rats are among the ugliest creatures in the animal kingdom, and they engage in acts that seem repulsive — such as eating one another’s, and their own, faeces. … Now researchers have found one biological motivation for this behaviour. When a queen mole rat’s subordinates feed on her hormo...

I can't help but notice that after all this intersectional tearing down and turning upside down and inside out, we end up with mostly straight, mostly white men (in woman face ) atop of the new privilege pyramid. A little too hyperbolic perhaps, but my experience of engaging with the trans question ...

The Chinese also have a word similar to SJW, although their conception of SJW is uniquely female: 圣母婊 (literally "Saint Bitch") though I guess it might be applicable to some men, who knows! The term refers to hypocritical young women who express sympathy for the downtrodden and oppressed, painting t...

there's something quaint about those kind of communist eccentrics. there used to be a friends of albania club in london called "the albania society" during the hoxha years, fronted by the very appropriately named bill bland. it's probably the same bunch of wooly old gents, or what remains of them, i...

some other thoughts the chinese communists were ruthlessly ridding the country of potential rivals from the moment they came into power in '49. the cultural revolution, mainly a cynical power grap by mao, involved mobilizing the youth, letting them loose on society under the pretext of direct democr...

I'm unclear on their attitude to SJW's and, if we are irritated by them, then I would expect these guys to really resent them This seems to be the case, they regard intersectionality as a betrayal of Scientific Marxism (sic) "rooted in class-based analysis" etc... naturally, the words bourgeois and...
