Konstanin at his best. The whole panel were good. The audience pitched in ably. Watch this twice, Freddie Sayers.

Just use their names and dispense with their pronouns altogether. Before: "Elliot Page can't get film roles since she had her series of operations." Police: "Put your hands behind your back, you're under arrest." Workaround: "Elliot Page can't get film roles since Page had Page's series of operations." Awkward, but better than jail.

@mpdfog186 Thanks, and don't forget I was good with your actual core message. Cheers

Progressivism is to progress what the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is to democracy.

When many Dutch civilians died in the Allied liberation of Holland in 1944-45, the Dutch people did not complain about "collective punishment." They instead welcomed the Canadians and the British as the liberators they were, with flowers, tears and open arms. They laud them as heroes to this day. Think about the reasons for that, if you can.🤨 Just try.

(1) Dr. V. Frankenstein, after watching this: "Wow, this dude was really messed up. I only did madman experiments on cadavers. Seriously, this is medieval." (2) The guy also bears a really remarkable facial resemblance to Dr. Gabor Maté, another very woke- leaning messiah who likewise gives me the total creeps.

In a word, New Puritanism.

@mpdfog186 Cool, but would you mind not referring to people like me as "real men"? I regard myself as "a man", not "a real man." (Likewise I'm a male, not a cis-male; normal, not straight.) It's like saying real milk and soy milk. No, it's milk and soy milk. (It should be 'soy beverage' or 'soy drink' but we can ignore that.)

Those expressions aren't overused. They're simply much-used, and rightly so. In my view they're indeed underused.

@pigriser I've read "the body of his work" and I disagree strongly. So what if his two most famous works aren't terribly representative of it? I don't see how that's a problem of any kind unless someone claims they are. And how have his works been distorted? By whom? Tbh, I think "fixation," "overblown" and "distorted" are actually fit words for your opinion itself. I could add self-important and fussy. Thanks for at least not using the word 'corpus,' though.

Not so well worded, in my view. Perhaps you had in mind extreme right-wing ideology? In which case the salient observation ought to be that Extremes Meet.

Pinfold's dictum: Two wrongs don't make a right. They make a Leftist.

Feminists angry at trans activists should take a look in the mirror, as difficult as that may be. For what the trans activists are doing to women—i.e. blatantly undermining their legitimacy as a sex—is rather analogous to what the feminists have done to men these last several decades. And they're doing it by copying the entire feminist playbook. Now the feminists turn to men for support, which I find galling. Classic case of hoist with their own petard.

Imagine the level of a mind that would trust the MSM mafiosi to verify what's true. Fire Spring now, defund the BBC now.

@seekerotruth8033 "Where have they gone?" How can you ask? Women, led by feminists, have spent the last lifetime attacking masculinity and demanding that boys be raised essentially as girls. Hoist with your own petard, madam.

@lavinder11 Appalling smug unfairness on your part. He made a very reasonable point, only to be accused of spite and revelling in women being beaten. He also never said he was at such events to protect women, but simply to support them, yet you put "protection" in quotation marks. 👏Congratulations on managing to touch so many bases in toxically reprehensible public conduct.👏

@susanjones7734 No it wasn't. I think something is clouding your judgment there. And why should they even be called "women's events"? That's exclusionary language. We are talking about events concerning the rights and standing of women, and such things are quite rightly of interest to people generally. I'm not sure I can put my finger on it just now, but there is very obviously something perhaps not at all far from spite in your own language.

@susanjones7734 I don't see what a public meeting has in common with a someone's visit to a bathroom. Your previous reply gave me a strong impression (now fully confirmed) that you have an objectionable and strange bent of mind, and for that reason I clicked the mute button. But it appears that the mute button doesn't work. So I ask you not to reply to me again.

"Reverse discrimination." But no. How is there any such thing? It's like 'reverse theft,' as if it's a special case of theft if you steal from the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of someone who stole from your great-great-great-great-grandmother. It's either unjust discrimination or it isn't—it doesn't matter who it's by, nor against whom. Mr. Slater, I urge you to instead cite Pinfold's Dictum: Two wrongs make a leftist.

 @Watching-tf1gc Ok, thanks for the Belsen oberleutnant point of view.🙄

Is this thread for real? Elite may refer to high rank (those at the top) rather than merit (the best). The English language: get to know it well and it'll become your loyal friend.

Well expressed. Surprisingly — and a bit disappointingly, I admit — non-polemical.

Common also in the 70s and 80s.

@pigriser It doesn't matter if it's an entirely representative term or isn't. It doesn't matter. It fairly represents what he's best known for, and that makes it a useful word. People ought to stop policing word meanings and trying to change them with such zeal. I for one find it somewhat Orwellian.

@pigriser The left always deeply resented how Orwell depicted them in The Road to Wigan Pier. You didn't know that?🤨

For analytical and verbal coherence on social issues, this channel is the best I know of. In one other far more subjective area—moral coherence—I'm nearly prepared to say the same thing, but can't until I watch more, as I've seen barely two hours' discussion so far.

With the triumph of the Fabians, I suppose, as Orwell had in mind in 1984. (The Fabians are the socialists who believe in the gradual insinuation of socialism rather than imposing it by revolution. Not many know, as Orwell did, that 1984 was to be the centenary of The Fabian Society's founding.)
