I have a pdf of the latest filing. I'll upload it when I get home assuming nobody beats me to it. All documents are publicly available through pacer.gov. You just need to sign up for an account and pay 10 cents per page.

I don't think the bulk of the right wing cares if someone is a jew or not. In fact, with Christianity running strong through the Republican party, they kind of go crazy about the homeland of Jesus and see the Jews as good caretakers and allies in the middle east.
Well, it was more about the more vocally batshit elements of each side, TBH - the ones who tend to drown out the signal with their noise. Yes, you can be of the left without simpering about Palestine and believing that Trump is, ugh, literally Hitler. Likewise you can be of the right and not believe in nefarious Jewish plots. But it's the empty tin which rattles loudest, as they say.

"SJW" is more vague, and relates more to a general attitude and mindset of presumption of guilt than a precise litmus test.

The Progressive Stack and Standpoint Theory are part of the Post-Modern Left. Then there's Radical Feminism and Intersectionality, which are sub-sets of Post-Modernism.

There are some people who are Regressives but not Post-Modern, like Glenn Greenwald, and people who are Post-Modern but not Regressive, like Nice Mangoes. There are postmodernists who aren't "SJWs" (Kimberlé Crenshaw herself, the creator of the Intersectional Stack, wasn't a SJW) and there are SJWs who don't even know that they're defending post-modern ideas (like Steve Shives).

Sorry KM - you are going to have to diagram it out for me. :)

Their collaboration? She was on Pettibone's show.
Is Southern a conservative, right wing type? Yes.
Is she alt-tight alt-right? That term means so many different things to different people it's pretty much useless.
Also we have Aneris going on record here saying that she thinks the values of the West are evil incarnate. Ze and zir hero Chomsky think the grassroots anarcho-socialist wisdom of Chairman Pol Pot are the ones that have true virtue. (While we're setting up strawmen. :P )

If that's the case you should be able to easily show it to be true. Instead you're resorting to claiming her wikipedia page says things it clearly does not say and emphasizing that she once used the word race and the word identity in the same sentence.

I won't dog pile any more, but you're very quickly becoming one of the people I can't trust any further than I can throw when it comes to summarizing political opponents.

LoSo says:

"But instead of just being open to other ideas than this nuclear family and traditional lifestyle, what postmodernism has wrought is the deconstruction and rejection of old ideas, most of which still hold a lot of value. We see this very clearly with feminism where feminists will stand up for the women who want to get a degree in lesbian dance theory and go to free the nipple protests, but not the woman who wants to stay conservative and be a stay-at-home mother."

It sounds like she's just arguing that the left has so wiped out any tangible concepts of identity (or family, etc.) and this has resulted in people who are confused and unhappy because they're not allowed to live in the identity of their choice.

Really?

Isn't this basic social and religious conservatism? Or part of the so called "family values"? If not, how so? Genuinely curious.

Apparently they had a "friend " ask weaver to modify a shotgun ( make it a sawed off) which weaver did for him.( this was an illegal modification to the gun, although many folks use such a gun for home and self defense, it's fairly common, hardly a federal matter) they then arrested weaver and charged him. They wanted leverage to get him to spy on a white supremacist group.( I believe it was Aryan nation) Things spun out of control from there.
Yeah, it's in there. If I recall correctly, Weaver also outed the feds undercover plant to the white supremacists who they tried to get Weaver to spy on. Maybe the charges against Weaver were revenge for that.

How's ANZAC day going Brive?
Dog got me up at 5.50am. Took him to toilet. Went to bed.

Dog threw up at 5.55am. Cleaned up. Lay on couch. Played with dog. Read Lauren Southern. Got offended by our very own fucktard Peter FitzSimons

http://www.smh.com.au/comment/theres-an ... vr6xg.html

I hate Fitz about as much as PZ and Carrier.

Combined.

Now we will take dog for drive / walk.

My dislike of ANZAC Day is best measured by a paper I did last year.

I argued that the First Aust Div hit Gallipoli on April 25th like a bag of confetti. Training, leadership, doctrine and command/control failures meant they were never in the race despite outnumbering the Turks more than 30 to one for a couple of hours and outnumbering them in general all day. "We" were a spent force within 200 metres of landing. In France we performed about as well as the Canadians, New Zealanders and South Africans. Cool. But not ultra exceptional in that colonial context.

In World War Two it was an Australian Brigade which didn't stop the Japanese crossing the causeway into Singapore. We only stopped the Japs at Kokoda because we had been pushed back to our supply lines just as the Japanese got to the end of theirs. At Tobruk a German light armoured force rightly invested us once it was determined we were dug in and supported by British artillery .. before they proceeded on their merry way to Egypt. In Greece and Crete we were trounced. Our finest hour was fighting the French in Syria - hardly something to be proud of. From 1943-1945 pretty much the entire AIF was training in Qld as there was nothing for us to do. In 1945 our political leaders pushed the army into useless mopping up campaigns just to prove we were a player for the peace.

Fuck FitzSimons. And fuck fake history.

That is all.

Or just hang out, drink, and chat while I bowl. I’ll even have books to sign and sell. So come on over. I’ll be at Point Bowl (which also has a bar & grill) from 7-10pm on Monday, April 24 (2017). That’s at 2525 Dixon Street. I’ll have just finished the “worlds largest” Trivia Contest in town, with team Random Sample. So I’ll be ready to get some drinking and rolling in.

I don't have a big problem with Spencer but he's definitely a white nationalist. Milo was once considered alt-right until he was reminded of the Richard Spencer connection.
I have seen the Richard Spencer has claimed to have coined the term Alt-right, but he is also seeking publicity for himself and his cause.

I know that media and left wing blogs love to bring up that Alt-Right has having racist roots among the white supremacists & white nationalists. But has anyone here done any actual research to determine if any of this is true? Or are we all relying on what we have been told?
It's not roots, its whatsit, that co-evolution thing - two groups who decided to call themselves alt-right without having shit in common. It makes sense, both are alternatives to the right - one down the white nationalist path, the other more classical liberal but retaining the right patriotic values. The media suddenly conflated both sides after Richard Spencer's hitler salute convention came up. I did look into this at the time and didn't find anything that suggested Richard Spencer had kicked off the alt-right version that Milo blasted into the cultural consciousness stratosphere by being a camp bitch at colleges. They just happened to choose the same name, and Spencer chose it first.

John D wrote: Fantastic. Love me some Charles Murray.

I listened to most of this last night... and the rest this morning. I have a theory about why people hate on him. The reason is that he points out a truth that fucks with most people's world view. It is so uncomfortable that most people either have to ignore it, or actively hate it.

I discussed part of this interview with my wife last night. I explained how blacks have an average IQ score that is one standard deviation lower than whites in America. Now, when I heard this I thought "Fuck me.... how do you tackle a problem like that?" It is one of those ah-ha facts that causes you to question your beliefs.

So... when I explained this to my wife, appropriately saying that someone with an 85 IQ (one std dev below average) can probably work a factory job or be a garbage collector she got really aggravated with me. She didn't want to think about this statistical reality. She said something like: "Well... what do you want me to do about it!?"

Most people enjoy thinking they know lots of things. They like to "know" their political philosophy is right. They like to "know" their actions make the world a better place. Then, when people are faced with these super messy facts they go into full rage mode.

I am convinced I am a bit of an odd-ball. It actually enjoy learning something that makes me doubt my beliefs. I am super comfortable having a nuanced and uncertain belief system. I get a thrill from learning something that makes me think "Oh shit!" My son-in-law shares this behavior with me. We can talk for hours about all kinds of topics. He likes statistics and psychology... an unusual combination.

Anyway... perhaps we should call this the "Murray Effect." Tell an uncomfortable truth to someone and get yourself called a racist..etc. This happens to a lot of us pitters. My sister-in-law went off on my last week when I talked about why "Black Lives Matter" is not helping. Haha. She totally "Murrayed" me. She yells :"What DO you think we should do about BLACK PEOPLE... John. Why don't you tell me?!?!" (all angry and sarcastic). My reply: "I am not saying I know exactly what to do... but using the false facts of BLM is not going to help. You can't make progress based on telling lies!"
I followed the controversy when The Bell Curve came out in the '90s. I had no particular interest in the subject area, but became interested when the reviews flatly contradicted each other. The reaction of people around me was similar to you. My girlfriend of the time semi-joked that she couldn't have physical relations with me with that book on my bookshelf, although the only criticism she could muster was 'why would anyone even consider writing about that subject?'

When I read the book, I saw that nearly all the negative reviewers of the book either hadn't read it and were reflexively using the standard arguments against IQ as a concept and racial IQ differences, or were lying. There were many claims, usually from reviewers outside the social sciences, that the book didn't even consider socioeconomic or cultural factors, which it did in detail, and both of these factors have been studied for decades using various kinds of analysis and conclude that these factors play at most a minor role in explaining the racial discrepancies. The more sophisticated reviewers from the social sciences launched more technical criticisms, which were equally spurious, like the example mentioned in this podcast of Stephen Jay Gould accusing them of not doing regression analysis, which was done and was included in the copious appendices of the book with titles like 'Regression Analyses of Part 2', so they couldn't be missed. The critical reviews were so fatuous I had to conclude that the book was considered forbidden knowledge, just as Harris has titled this podcast, and had to be discredited by any means necessary.

The overwhelming conclusions from those who study the genetic basis of intelligence falsify the blank slate central dogma of the rest of social science. An uneasy truce has developed based where the study of the genetic basis of intelligence is tolerated as long as the following dictums are observed:

1) Do not popularize your work.
2) If a social scientist criticizes the concept of IQ or of general intelligence, do not publicly defend it, regardless of how inaccurate the critique is.
3) If one of your peers commits the ultimate heresy of writing about IQ and race, they will be considered fair game, and we will use all means at our disposal to destroy them and their work. Do not defend them, no matter how erroneous or unfair you believe these attacks to be, or you will be lumped in with them and also considered fair game.

While discussing labels, let's jot down that the approved Southern sticker for Neocon is "town whore".

I am learning a lot. And the lessons are a lot simpler than I had feared.

How's ANZAC day going Brive?
Dog got me up at 5.50am. Took him to toilet. Went to bed.

Dog threw up at 5.55am. Cleaned up. Lay on couch. Played with dog. Read Lauren Southern. Got offended by our very own fucktard Peter FitzSimons

http://www.smh.com.au/comment/theres-an ... vr6xg.html

I hate Fitz about as much as PZ and Carrier.

Combined.

Now we will take dog for drive / walk.

My dislike of ANZAC Day is best measured by a paper I did last year.

I argued that the First Aust Div hit Gallipoli on April 25th like a bag of confetti. Training, leadership, doctrine and command/control failures meant they were never in the race despite outnumbering the Turks more than 30 to one for a couple of hours and outnumbering them in general all day. "We" were a spent force within 200 metres of landing. In France we performed about as well as the Canadians, New Zealanders and South Africans. Cool. But not ultra exceptional in that colonial context.

In World War Two it was an Australian Brigade which didn't stop the Japanese crossing the causeway into Singapore. We only stopped the Japs at Kokoda because we had been pushed back to our supply lines just as the Japanese got to the end of theirs. At Tobruk a German light armoured force rightly invested us once it was determined we were dug in and supported by British artillery .. before they proceeded on their merry way to Egypt. In Greece and Crete we were trounced. Our finest hour was fighting the French in Syria - hardly something to be proud of. From 1943-1945 pretty much the entire AIF was training in Qld as there was nothing for us to do. In 1945 our political leaders pushed the army into useless mopping up campaigns just to prove we were a player for the peace.

Fuck FitzSimons. And fuck fake history.

That is all.

You cannot be serious, her “real” views are absolutely identical to what she allegedly just writes to upset leftists. <snip>
If that's the case you should be able to easily show it to be true. Instead you're resorting to claiming her wikipedia page says things it clearly does not say and emphasizing that she once used the word race and the word identity in the same sentence.

I won't dog pile any more, but you're very quickly becoming one of the people I can't trust any further than I can throw when it comes to summarizing political opponents.
I don't even know how to argue with that. When you assert such views are somehow at odds with her “real” political views, then you show this — not I. And how am I to demonstrate what isn't there, namely inconsistencies between alleged “triggering leftists” and her “real views”? Proving a negative and such?

Your Wikipedia denial is even more bizarre. There are categories, at the bottom, she was listed under Alt Right. That's a fact. If it changed in the meantime, the logs would reveal it. Not that my argument depends on it, but what I asserted was true, whether you agree with the editors or not (this would be a different argument, but now looks desperate).

You also need zero trust. She appeared as first guest on Pettibone's channel:
[Pettibone] is a contributor to AltRight.com, a white nationalist website founded by Richard B. Spencer and is part of the broader alt-right movement.[9][10][11][12]
So, Sargon and Southern want to look like Alt Right, because reasons, and when they do, then … what exactly?

Coyne's issued some sort of statement about not liking Bill Nye and a few people in the comments have taken to calling him jealous or bashing him for being harsh on Nye and soft on Milo (and that was definitely a black eye since it came so soon before the latter's big public blowout). Though I don't expect those comments to stay because while not quite as bad as the baboons Jerry can be a bit touchy.

Not an Australian and have no special knowledge in this area, but the HBO docu-drama series "The Pacific" had a couple of interesting episodes on the Australian experience of WWII, although it focused on events after the US had entered the war. If I'm recalling correctly, it even included a good sex scene.

I've paid so little attention to what's going on with O'Reilly I don't even know what the accusations were that sent him packing, although I do recall a very old weird story about him propositioning a woman for sex involving a luffa.

Still, saw some local conservatives wailing and gnashing in the reader comment section of my local paper, and the usual argument dredged up whenever a conservative gets caught in any sort of sex scandal: What about Bill Clinton?

Really? wrote:I think we're all forgetting that Wikipedia entries are written by people, many of whom are assholes. When it comes to a judgment call about a label that has no hard-and-fast definition but carries a stigma for some, it really doesn't matter what Wikipedia says.

Wikipedia keeps forcing out mentions of Carrier's sexual harassment cases. It doesn't even mention his semen fetish or include him in a list of prominent semen fetishists. Does that mean they aren't real or that they aren't worthy of inclusion?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Carrier
Exactly. This shows the deficiency of Wikipedia. His semen fetish is the most noteworthy thing about him. CF. PZ Myers Wiki page, which completely omits the established fact that he tongues the cunts of octopuses. :lol:

Been vacationing in Chechnya and had the most difficult time getting back. Bureaucracy, eh? I wouldn't recommend the resort though unless you're into seriously BDSM.

If you read FitzSimons you'd know that the 9th Division stopped the momentum of German victories in Europe, passed the torch to the allies and then came to America's aid in the Pacific by terminating the Japanese advance in 1942.

MacArthur was then granted bragging rights by dealing with the loose ends.

Just don't mention the 8th Div ........
