sub twitter debating rip ilx
― Mordy, Sunday, 17 September 2017 22:58 (six years ago) link
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, you're being a condescending jackass

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.

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

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.

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.

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
