Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

Writer pushes buttons

sub twitter debating rip ilx

the real reason its a clusterfuck is that a substantial portion of the left has gone from blindly praising Coates to considering what he's actually arguing for & is not sure it likes it

oh good u decided your opinions4you were too good to confine to that thread

oh good, you're being a condescending jackass

the theater of pretending you're smarter than everyone you talk to must get old at some point right

just keep your generic second-rate hack bullshit off the meta thread and i won't condescend to you. you have entire threads on ilx to peddle your brainless twitter hot take bullshit.

In all honesty, it really does not x-post

just keep your generic second-rate hack bullshit off the meta thread and i won't condescend to you. you have entire threads on ilx to peddle your brainless twitter hot take bullshit.

'second rate hack bullshit' lol you're a fucking message board pseud

D-40 is OTM about that thread. It's transparently obvious, both in the way that people are grasping for criticism of Coates' most recent essay and the way Joy Reid's article that made the exact same fucking points in the context of a slightly different argument and everyone who decided to comment ridiculed it for either being too obvious an argument to bother making or too classist towards poor white people, to which I say fuck your tacit support of white supremacy and look in a fucking mirror, assholes.

Amen

It all comes down to nitpicking and whataboutism in the service of this or that pet issue as a means to avoid facing hard realities.

What's going on in the cluiche ceannais na heireann thread

who's getting sonned in a Beatles/Fleetwood Mac beef?

(nb I don't really care, I just wanted to write that)

Turrican

Some cuts of beef are fattier than others

Hamburger Helper Beefy Mac and Beatles

we had heard stories of one who could see clearly. he does not protest the task of being the solitary carrier of truth, but we all know it must be a burden. they say he knows of a way to listen to the white album that would somehow ruin every ounce of positive feelings one ever had about the album, and that he wants everyone to listen to the album in this way, or else acknowledge that they are wrong. wrong about music. we know we are wrong, but we no longer know who is right. some good side discussions of the two albums in that thread as well, though

Like the narration of Conan

xp I skimmed it, I think flappy and floppy were having some good times discussion and then Turrican showed up with a gun

Floppy didn't like that said I'm gonna get u boy

really enjoy when someone makes a point and it's quoted with a resounding "yes!"

really hate when someone shows up and evaluates each opinion and has to comment on each

Your first opinion is bad. Your second opinion is also bad.

now tell me when I was born

Go and get your fuckin jukebox

if only more people would read/use the "lads" thread tbh

hey everybody chill the fuck down why not

possibly most unchill day in several years

yeah, days like this used to be a pretty regular thing

we old now

back in my day, the clusterfucks ran free and plentiful

note to self pick up popcorn after work

lads

i think i picked a good day to just stfu

beatles people never stop. they never want to stop. they can go forever.

its like the masturbating in front of people of music talk.

tao lin

it’s just a fucking book iirc

maleness?

this is why we cant have male things

yea i can't even bother

hilarious to read the first several posts from yesterday that sparked the clusterfuck and then skip ahead to where things once again boil down to arguing with deej.

and i'm sure i'll read the whole thing.

I hope it’s more edifying for you than it was for me

fgti wants all men dead

men can't talk about their feelings

ye mad puffin says that's their problem we've all learnt to do it

in orbit otm's this thought

soref says even being a good white person doesn't solve anything bc it's systemic and people in higher power are not changing, and this involves social change

lots of people otm soref

yerac bullies her husband

mordy drops jew knowledge and says yerac's behaviour doesn't belong in a healthy relationship

people explain yerac's actions are harmless

mordy says "it's not a personal attack on yerac"

mordy gets offended about kill all men comment fgti made

fgti backtracks and doesn't want all men dead

fgti feels more conscious about his white self due to black lover's friends

there's other talk but cmon this is the summary thread

wow i feel written out of it

oh sorry

dmac says to soref how can u say those things

strong summary

mollified

clusterfuck summary clusterfuck summary averted

I almost got Mordy to state an opinion in the first person by acting mind-numbingly centrist
