will noisey have moved forward, done the work and fought like fuck?

I hate how the influence of Vice as a writing voice is so ubiquitous now. Its easy to write "rip off my testicles" keyboard bashing rants and the tone of snark and snobbery is just so off-putting. It feels like there's no room for genuine enthusiasm and excitement or calm critique anywhere and the fact Vice is such a prominent online voice is a huge part of this.

"now"

well, the terminology has changed

I have not really followed Momus since he stopped posting here; does he still believe Vice was subverting racism?

let's remember the good times: PRUSSIAN BLUE - White Power Folk Duo.... of 12-year-old twin sisters...

Just because an ideology is unpopular (in this case, rightfully so) doesn't mean you can deny it's right to exist, or it's subscribers their life, liberty, and freedom to live wherever the fuck they want.

oh man I read that comment on the thread Οὖτις just linked and took a second before scrolling down to play the "guess the poster" game

lol I apparently did a full-body NOPE away from the Prussian Blue threads

oh god ann sterzinger, now there's a blast from the past. kind of ahead of her time in a way

xxp

feel like there might be something faulty about that quote when applied to nazis but i can't quite put my finger on it

sterzinger's last post was less than a month before my first :D

gotta love the amount of shit I took for insisting that VICE shouldn't have given them exposure, what a monster I was

I can't find the sterzinger exchange in question, what thread did that happen on?

xp

The 'I hate this generation' thread - C/D

how many people who were like "no man I want small government, I'm a libertarian, I don't agree with those type of people but they can say whatever" later went full alt-right by 2016

ugh, i never saw that thread. ann used to post on I Love Books all the time in the olden days.

xp: The only person I can think of I know who was in that zone who didn't is a friend from college who was well on his way to vanishing in a spiral of conservative orthodoxy until he came out right before his 50th birthday. (His best friend is also a libertarian type but is and has always been staunchly anti-racist over everything else, making him one of the few conservative-leaning voices in my friend circle who I don't automatically assume is arguing from a position of unexamined racism.)

I think that thread was my only interaction with Ann? I did not have a positive impression.

If Celine and Hamsun weren’t fascists, they’d be Ann Sterzinger. And finally, a book where the footnotes aren’t a twee affectation. —Nick Mamatas

https://www.amazon.com/NVSQVAM-nowhere-Ann-Sterzinger/dp/099073353X

when someone said "Ann Sterzinger is now writing for Taki" my reaction was "why did that take so long and why are people acting surprised?"

dang one of the other pull quotes on the book scott linked is from a men's rights alt-right slug

wow, yeah, she is a total alt-right person! jeez. came across a youtube podcast interview with her dressed as a nazi. yeesh.

you know that like all the other alt-righters she's an egomaniac narcissist, probably googles her name every evening, and will be here in 3...2...

i won't link to it. its a savage hippie interview on youtube. whenever i read "female jim goad" i know i'm in for a treat. though that used to just be debbie goad...

someone could deindex...

I think if she has managed to resist coming back this board for the past 11 years, this little nostalgia trip won't lure her back.

also, i came sort of close to bumping this recently: ILB writing workshop

faaaairly glad i didn't now (her tone certainly put me off though)

I confess I was blissfully unaware of this jackass's existence prior to this thread

Ann Sterzinger owns the BLACK PILL SITCOM genre, previously known as dark comedy, embracing the bleakness with a giddy sense of fun.

I think if she has managed to resist coming back this board for the past 11 years, this little nostalgia trip won't lure her back.

is it safe to mention b3cky luca5 yet

Three times in a mirror at night, spit over your shoulder and howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl like a werewolf

maybe Callum will come back too

anyone to shake us out of our complacent bourgie-liberal torpor ;)

(n.b. i know ilx isn't very bourgie at all, but these fucks loooove to conflate leftism and social progressivism with wealth for some dumbfuck reason)

(ghost of calum reappeared briefly when his hugh hefner thread was bumped last week)

someone called calum the turrican of his day yesterday on a thread about Suede that calum started back in the day . Turrican was not amused.

“We haven’t had any cases of sexual harassment to deal with,” Ashbrooke wrote. (Ashbrooke was vice president of human resources at Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax Films from 1991 to 2000, according to her LinkedIn page, a time when the now-disgraced producer was paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal settlements to squash allegations of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual contact by employees and actresses.)

there's no media company i'd be more delighted to see dragged thru the mud than VICE though it's about a decade and a half overdue, it might be a bit of "closing the barn door after the horse has bolted" as it were.

The update on that Awl story is even nuttier.

i hope that video leaks, i would like to see it.

can;t wait to see the sad online media circlejerk do the whole "Please hire my talented friend BABY BALLS 69, he is so smart and can do more than rape jokes and exploitative videos on regional rap scenes"

It begins?

I for one am astonished that an organisation founded by Gavin McInnes and named after the police department that deals with sex crime could be home to sleazy scumbags

The clock further ticks.

We are going to remember our outrage at this moment and let it fuel our direction over the next four years. We are never going to let ourselves get complacent. We are never going to let the flames of resistance burn out.
