So. Alt-right. Do we know anything about them?

[aRdja]

So it’s a 6 yr old article, published on his own website, with a preamble that says it’s prickly and they talk passed each other?

Yes to all three questions.

I actually agree with Harris that intent matters however the intent of the United States is never as wholly good as Harris claims and the intent of the opposition never as wholly bad as he asserts.

Will be a moral dilemma for the lads from Cast if this shower want to rework their greatest hit into a new anthem with the chorus, ‘I guess I’m alt-right, I guess I’m alt-right.’

Hahaha, see I read more as all right by the 90’s side burned freaks of Gaz Coombs and co, which kind of fits ok with the simpletons of the alt right.

They can have Cast.

 

Supergrass are fucking ace.

Go forth and multiply!

 

To be fair saw Supergrass live a few years ago, they were decent, similar to pulp - good show, decent tunes. Coombs is touring solo now.

Should just add that simpletons is referential to the lyrics of the song, not the band itself.

The fascist,racist and islamophobia threads have been condensed into one. Good thinking chaps.

Would appreciate if someone could post something credible from Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro, etc. I really want to understand why they’re relevant.

There credibility isn’t why they’re relevant; the palatability of their opinion is. They, especially Shapiro, is very good at debating people who know less than him. He’s actually just very good at debate. He uses techniques that make his view very difficult to counter.

Because they're arguing against the worst of the left. Notice how none of them would ever dare debate someone like Žižek.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Only because the slathering Slav, Slavoj, would spit everywhere. Then start talking about fecal matter.

[Dr Nowt]

You’re saying he’s a slave to slavver?

False flag!

Met zizek a few years back at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, absolute fucking brain.

 

Thought I was Irish though, and was telling me where he would be shooting in Dublin a few months later.

 

Nice bloke

[Anubis]

The Festival of Dangerous Ideas sounds brilliant - like a supervillain meetup. How do I get tickets?

Speak to Simon.

Who was he going to shoot in Dublin? Did Chomsky have a book tour scheduled?

Get to Sydney in September every year, heard some outstanding speakers, it is really good, but like some of the best parts of the GF, intelligent people discussing interesting ideas at the opera house over 4 days.

it was the follow up to Pervert's guide to cinema.

 

Saw Chomsky around the same time - booked tickets for me and the missus, didn't realise it was i11 am on a Tuesday, had to bunk off work in the middle of the day.

You've lied to me, Arthur. It's moved to Cockatoo Island. It's ok. I get it. You don't want to risk being sat next to me. I can tell when I'm not wanted. *Insert sad smiley*

It appears it all went to shit when we left the big smoke mate, didn’t realise what I was as holding together down there.

 

Cockatoo island is sound though, and to be fair I had a massive row with the SOH around that time and told them to stick their membership up their arses.

 

Got fucked over on tickets to see the stone roses. Typical, support us be a member bullshit, then fuck you over with sales when you try to buy tickets for big events. But similar to another cultural icon from L4.

[Anubis]

That does indeed sound like a certain ticket office we all know

[SasaS]

On Žižek, wasn't he challenged to a debate by Peterson after some tweet attributed to Žižek? All I can find about this is that Žižek accepted but Peterson then allegedly cancelled. Is Don King still around? Can we through some money at them and make this happen?
