Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

how are white dudes supposed to expand our horizons if we don't discuss things that are utterly beyond our comprehension? Can we have a list of forbidden topics, plz?

Ill review Coon

The Rolling Stones. To me they are no more than just overrated jerks who write melodically dead emotionally dry music. The most overrated band I know of, actually. The Rolling Stones receive way too much praise and credit for everything from influence to the quality of their hooks. I'd give them a one at best. That said, there are a bunch of Stones songs that I do like (even a couple that I love) and I can easily say Beggar's Banquet is a really good album, but for the most part they really leave me cold. Sorry, this is just how I feel.

seminal releases

who originally crafted Internet Message Board Post About The Rolling Stones?

watching baseball is like playing one of those browser games where the numbers go up and all you have to do is click over to the tab once in a while to see how much they went up

Just in case you thought this might have been a worthwhile discussion, the world's most useless authority has arrived to disabuse you of that notion. Emphasis on the last two syllables of "disabuse".

the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil

The British Left? To me they are no more than just overrated jerks who write rhetorically dead emotionally dry pamphlets. The most overrated Left I know of, actually. The British Left receives way too much praise and credit for everything from influence to the quality of their books. I'd give them a one at best. That said, there are a bunch of British Leftists that I do like (even a couple that I love) and I can easily say Tariq Ali is a really good writer, but for the most part they really leave me cold. Sorry, this is just how I feel.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

wow so many opinions

sorry, this is just how i feel.

clink!

The thing is I can't disagree with a lot of the points people are making, I just feel like the internet creates such a shitstorm around anything not 100% pure. Like basically the video strikes me as an effective way of getting across a point about a kind of harassment that, fwiw, is not only suffered by white women, but everything just gets hijacked and clusterfucked to death if it fails any test. And I have a problem ideologically with the idea that a "privileged white woman" should just stfu about being harassed and intimidated on the street if it happens to come more often from black or latino men, which is really the tone of a lot of stuff I have read about this.

I was going to try and walk it one day but in the end I decided it was too far and also the weather wasnt helping

obviously most white people are not out there in the trenches saying "that one's gotta go, time to jack up the rent" but that doesn't mean you can't be complicit in a social order that produces those outcomes; this is why the "malicious intent" argument holds so little water

Yeah but I have read more than one person arguing that this guy literally made the video to push some kind of gentrifier/anti-minority agenda. Honestly a lot of the other internet discussions I've been involved in about this included a lot of women both white and non-white saying they've experienced far worse harassment on the street - intimidation, following, threats, etc, that the video just scratches the surface, and I think it honestly kind of fucking sucks that people are hijacking a basically effective video to do what to me sounds like "I'm such a good grad student"-level race analysis (parallels to colonial America!). Like yes, point out the racial issues, point out that the video seems to focus on minority men, but don't use that to guilt women who are complaining about being harassed to shut up, and that's really what I feel like this is turning into.

[basically using this thread to avoid throwing ill-considered firebombs into that thread, although the situation encompasses something I find irritating about the internet left and can't seem to find exactly the right way to describe]

wow that is such an incredibly shitty thing to post that i think it has genuinely pushed me over the edge with this place

My dear Kafka,
When you've had five years of it, not five months,
Five years of an irresistible force meeting an immoveable object right in your belly,
Then you'll know about depression.

fair

Yeah was gonna say, verging on sadsplaining imo

we should make a collective life-coaching board, how to cope with the mundane, how to do irl positivity against the usual backdrop of constraints fiscal and temporal and the invisible codex of the social RPG
