Spiked… idk, I'm always surprised it's still going - still chugging along, still pretending to be quite serious, still publishing 3rd rate cultural crit + ooh-contrary LM challops by men in glasses; no-one ever notices, though, from what I can see - maybe I move in the wrong bit of the internet, but no-one seems to give 1 sol. shit about them. What an odd place.― you don't exist in the database (woof), Friday, 27 January 2012 13:43 (eight years ago) bookmarkflaglink

Since when has Brendan O'Neill ever criticized Communists? That doesn't fit the Furedi narrative.

well the childish appearance shaming seems to be more effective than the attempts at satire atm! I'm not judging either though, but it's no doubt great that he has been pressured into wearing a hat at zoom chats.

If it is getting under the skin of his freakishly distended dome then it is good satire, who cares if it is childish?

might be better pretending he's from from Easter Island!

It's anti-Irish racism, you see, that's his only possible line of defence here - except that, through his slavish devotion to the teachings of Chairman Furedi, he's painted himself in a corner and there's really no way out for him. Sweet.
― Rapsputin (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 June 2020 12:32 (three years ago) link
As soon as he, lol, pulls too hard on that thread marked identity politics, as a repressed North London posh 2nd gen Irish white man - big heads matter! Then as well as looking even more ridiculous, his whole world unravels and now it is he who has become the snowflake!

I mean yeah, very enjoyable fun and games, but I'm a little concerned this is coming across as bullying. Shouldn't we be fighting Brendan with facts? ie calling him a cunt?

The fact is he has a grotesquely distorted head.

clearing out ancient document boxes of misc tat i unearthed a promotional card for EASYNET, which was the service provider associated with CYBERIA, which was the pioneering internet cafe associated with LIVING MARXISM and the RCP in the mid-90s lol
i never entered cyberia, nor did i sign up for easynet, but i did know a few members of the RCP in those years -- digital capability and the freedom to offend were their open sesames, as i think i've mentioned elsewhere. they weren't the worst ppl i worked with -- they were often actually p good at IT stuff -- but even then they were kind of exhausting. i may even have a copy of the issue of LM they got sued for, which shd have bankrupted them and stopped them but somehow didn't. there was a LOT of vc capital washing around them at that time (tho not for their "provocative" opinions on the war in yugoslavia)

Of course, the anti-working-class left and the NuFootball commentariat (who love the beautiful game but loathe its ugly fans) instantly found the Millwall fans guilty of racism.
Schrödinger's culturally working-class football fans that are middle class enough to be able to afford the season tickets and still working class enough to be legit nazis for the sake of Brendan's arguments.
