I don't know the official position on this. But I'm guessing it's rationalized in the Catholic manner: "Veneration of the Saints" is totally not the same as "worship". As long as you agree to only call one of them God, you can interact with as many (approved) supernatural entities as you like & still be a monotheist. Monotheism doesn't necessarily mean belief that only one supernatural entity exists.

The Greek Pantheon was shamefully polytheistic because they were all gods, even though Zeus was indisputably the greatest. The Catholic gaggle of saints & deities is superior because 3 of them are irretrievably commingled & called God, the rest demoted to a lower rank.

I know that Islam sneers at Christians for being polytheists over the Trinity, but I'm guessing their meteor-communing & anti-jinn spells are treated something like this before the subject is quickly dropped.

To that extent, I'm okay with PZ's use of his name since Sargon's name escaped a long time ago, and he seems relatively okay with that.

There's even a wiki entry, not just a kiwi farms or ED or rational wiki entry....
Doxing is the calculated use of RL information, outside the context from which it was gleaned, in order to cause damage to people choosing to operate under nym.

Sargon publishes as Sargon. PZ's effort is clearly a pathetic attempt to inflict some sort of RL pain on his enemy. It is exactly the same modus operandi he used on Skep.
I agree. The point is that Peez is trying to do harm to Sargon even though Peez is impotent in the doing anything that actually matters department.

I agree, too. Sargon is just holding up a mirror. Nothing more, nothing less.
I also agree. I'm no fan of Sargon, and Tf00t is a lot smarter than I am, but he can't see that Sargon is just trying to show SJW hypocrisy in regards to the very same codes of conduct that Tf00t railed against.

I’d argue that “Isamist” terrorist are actually part of the far right. They support an autocratic and antidemocratic government and the strict enforcement of religious beliefs which they hold to be “traditional”.
What’s left or centrist about that?
And yes there are also left wing terrorists and crazy people. The rightists seem to be the big threat at the moment.
:clap: :clap: :?
^^We have a winner. THIS is what you'd expect the entire atheist community would be saying right now, based on everything the left-leaning New Atheist crowd had been saying for years. But alas, a shit-ton of them were always leftist identitards, & the real Nazis are mostly brown skinned in this case & thus, by definition, oppressed wards of the identitard left.

I don't expect them to do anything. I have to pretty much agree with most people. He did it to demonstrate her hypocrisy.

Now who is going to get sold on this demonstration.

Pro-Sargon people will in all likelyhood stay pro-Sargon.

Pro-Anita people will in all likelyhood stay pro-Anita. But it does appear as if her star has already faded.

People like Laci Green have eventually become feed up with the hypocrisy. But that has taken several years, and has been a slow process of erosion. And appears to have been primarily due to herself knowing she was in their own cross-hairs.

Vidcon might silently opt to not invite Sakresian to be a speaker next year. Calling people in the audience Human Garbage when the have said nothing is clearly unprofessional for someone who claims to be fighting against harassment.

Not sure what the rest of vidcon attendees might think. I bet most don't care and are more obsessed with meeting their own favorite celebrity.
I pretty much agree.

Vidcon may release a public statement as to how much they deplore harassment. They could also reply to Sargon and say that they have spoken with Anita to let her know of his concerns, as they treat any potential breach of their CoC seriously. In other words they will do little to nothing.
Though they may not wish to do anything that could be interpreted as leaving a black mark against Anita's public record. So rather than walk on eggshells in the minefield - it may be easier just to say nothing.

I could see them not bothering to invite Sarkessian back - either because she is not quite the draw she used to be, or is too much of a bother to deal with (mostly through her own behaviour, but also to some degree through the reaction of others to her).

Whatever Vidcon end up doing or not doing - Anita's hypocrisy is available for everyone to see and judge for themselves. And I suspect that this is what will have more of a long term effect than the harassment complaint. Well that, and the fact that we may have already passed peak SJW.

I think that is the protestant view of catholicism too (ie that it is a bunch of warmed over polythesim).

Supported by the fact that it was literally true (in a figurative way) that most of the saints were in fact gods that got grandfathered in - St Bridgit comes to mind as an example.

Well Mundane Matt's estimate was that their 40 people up front outnumbered the other people who came to see her 2-to-1. So yes, Anita is clearly not a draw at a Video Conference.

He already did, this morning.

I swear I hadn't seen this when I said he would write this:

"Nawaz should be the first person fighting for the SPLC's right to publish their inflammatory and wrong statements against him, that he is bothered by that and doesn't proves he is alt-right!" -- Poopdeck Popehat!

But what a fucking asshole.

He won't let himself say Rubin is not alt-right and Rubin is righteously outraged, even if Rubin doesn't have a 1A claim.
And he won't let himself say Nawaz is not an anti-muslim extremist and Nawaz is righteously outraged even if Nawaz doesn't have a 1A claim.

These two actual victims (like others) he ignores and pisses on, and in fact says "they should feel bad".

As for Thunderf00t I assume he agrees that Rubin and Nawaz are wrong to try and deplatform Mother Jones and the SPLC (as if one could). Regardless, I thought deplatforming was trying to kick someone off a platform for wrongthink, not asking the platform to adhere to their own codes of conduct and implement them fairly in the case of a person whose behavior has crossed a line. I see no evidence Sargon wants to remove Anita due to her beliefs, I see the opposite, Sargon and many others including Thunderf00t would love the opportunity to debate Anita.

I just watched another Vid on the Vidcon mess - by one of my favourite youtubers, and soon to be author of a book on the history of Gamergate - James Desborough.

http://thisisvideogames.com/gamergatewi ... Desborough

[youtube][/youtube]

It's certainly a different perspective than what I've been giving here - more Anti-Sarkessian than Pro-Sargon per se. And in an effort to perhaps pouroil on the troubled waters of this forum - I can't really say that I disagree with him.

So the other Vidcon salt mine.

It starts here:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DDBzMHYUQAEliEt.jpg:large

Captioned: The Culture War is real. Left to right Brittany Simon, ShoeOnHead, Armored Skeptic, Lindsay Ellis, HbomberGuy, ContraPoints, and FoldableHuman.

Having a sit down with two (possibly more) gamergater/shitlords/garbage humans caused the following gamer Ghazi thread.

Highlights.
Pflytrap wrote:So you know how one of the right's favorite insults/accusations is "virtue signalling?" Basically, they believe that deep down all people (certainly all white people) are secretly as hateful and bigoted and just generally right-wing as they are; and that the only reason a reasonable and intelligent person could ever possibly profess left-wing beliefs is out of a desire to look good and morally superior. "They don't really care about 'equality' or 'justice' or 'tolerance'," the right insists, "It's all just a cynical game of pandering to inferiors in a quest for fame and money, and nothing more."

Then pictures like this come out.

Generally speaking, it's not a good strategy to make it look like your opponents's are right in their assumptions about you and your motivations.

And for every white moderate who takes away the message "See? We can all peacefully coexist" from this picture, the message anyone who isn't a famous white YouTuber will take away is more along the lines of "See? They can all peacefully coexist."
And
kobitz wrote:Its the title , the fucking title "The Culture Wars are real"

Yes they are! And there are victims! People are getting killed! They are being deported away from their homes and families! They are being forced to commit suicide by a society that says "you are unnatural"! And people like armoredskeptic and shoeonhead are right upfront, with their venom and hate, making the world a worst place. They might not make the laws and pull the triggers, but their words - their harmful words - encourage young people to vote for the men who will do so, encourage more hate, more evil

Im so sad now, why does no one see us?
:bjarte: Forced to commit suicide.

As a general direction it's all good though, I'm more than happy to have (major) differences in opinion with a bunch of people as long as it doesn't make me a nazi who ought to be punched.

The big thing is the dis-empowerment of the rationalisation engine (I can't remember which pitter came up with that but it's good) and break-down of it's narrative. That has to be good for all concerned.

Apparently Andy Warski and Franchesca Ramsey also made up and built a few bridges a la Laci and Sargon. I've gotta think part of that is them seeing Antia being a shrill harpy and having a 'wait a minute' moment about what kind of people they want to be.

PZ has two new hangouts. My guess is he's making a bid for this new medium called "video", even though he has the personality of a horseradish and hates everything youtube. He probably thinks "next year, I'll be there when the Sark needs me". Well, he can't fuck it up more than he's fucked up blogging.

Yes but it's what Watson did and history shows that if Watson walks off a cliff PZ will be shortly behind applauding her for discovering this ingenious shortcut to the ground.
PZ is a Post Modernist. Never forget that. Although he may dispute that characterisation, the point is that his strategy is straight out of the PoMo handbook. He does not attempt to argue rationally or with any honesty. He says whatever he thinks will advance the agenda. This idea that he is slobbering at Becky's feet is BS as far as I can tell. My impression is that he shows deference to the "oppressed" from ideological conviction, but that conviction is very concrete and distinct from any conscious self-serving horny agenda.

This is soul-destroying.

So pathetic. Firstly, that having an interview with one of his pointless morons would be made more attractive by having another one pop up halfway through. And secondly, that awful "You never know". Ooh, a hint of mystery, like anything might go down when Meyers is chewin' the fat with some intersectional lunatic.

I nearly got a tear in my eye when I saw this, I got a vision of this being Meyers's life now: talking to blue-haired Millenials online and spending the whole time trying to strike a balance between "I totes understand what you're sayin', ma homez" and "calm down, PZ, you don't want to come across as the sleazy professor leching at young adults. Again.".

Though I am sure this has brought a (milky) tear to the Commander's (Jap's) eye.

Oh I agree that she is a racist, and furthermore I think her a dangerous ideologue. However I do think that ultimately actions are more important than ideas, and if just the social normalisation going on with this kind of thing can chill the endless accusations down then that's a good thing.

I also think that, in an ideological movement, there are times when people within it are looking around for leadership to say it's OK to leave or moderate views away from the dogma. That should be encouraged.

There are tweets from Laci saying the 'dragging' she's receiving for her recent actions feels the same as when she left mormonism.

I'm not sure was Thomas Wagstaff cockhorn would make of recent events...nothing to do with social justice - someone left a traffic cone on the right arm of his statue.

There was also a sign nearby with a large arrow and the words 'You are here'. Don't know why I'm mentioning this now...it seemed relevant at the time.

The Sappers museum was good too.

I also think that, in an ideological movement, there are times when people within it are looking around for leadership to say it's OK to leave or moderate views away from the dogma. That should be encouraged.

There are tweets from Laci saying the 'dragging' she's receiving for her recent actions feels the same as when she left mormonism.
Time will tell if the cease fire is the new order of things. It's nice to be nice and all - but up until now drama always seemed to be a major ingredient for anyone looking to get hits. So it would be easy to fall back into the old ways.

It sucks for Laci - because I think she might get a little pressure to conform from the Anti-SJW side too.

Maybe it's too fine a distinction to make - but I never had a problem with people not liking each other - but with the smears, distortions and outright lying about each other. Perhaps the personal really is political after all.

Are we to be entertained or informed by the youtube cognescenti ?

Does anyone think that 'Skis against the Atom' is a much better title than 'Heroes of the Telemark' ?

Gad Saad talks with Bret Weinstein of The Evergreen State College. Not much new here, but I enjoy hearing this whole brouhaha being chewed on. Part one here is an hour long.

Went back from the ride about one hour ago.

Some guy from the group completely crashed his GSXR. Damn, that wasn't pretty. He had to be evacuated by helicopter and we ended up being late for the restaurant. Luckily, they managed to take us in anyway.

The dude only has a broken harm, lucky bastard. We thought him dead when we saw the bike.

Anyway, it was a fun ride.

Personally I have a hard time imagining mellowing out with Franchesca. She comes across as incredibly racist. Her MTV work has me in awe that they would put something like that on the air. And it appeared from her twitter account, that her opinions expressed there are not just the creation of MTV.
I generally demand people be able to take as much as they dish out and agree that civilization means the right to commit non-defensive violence is ceded to the state alone. If she could sit at a table with me while a cite every inflammatory statistic I can think of about blacks while resorting to nothing more than spittle (or better yet, reasoned argument! But let's not ask for too much) in response, she's okay in my book.

As with most of my considering of all this, I'm mostly thinking about the effect this has on younger folks who are ripe to be influenced. If the next generation can avoid falling into the shitty trench warfare we've seen then good. If young girls don't so readily get taught to be victims then good. Anything that chips away at that is good in my book.

By the time you reach my age you mind is mostly made up already, which is why I have no problem being critical of prominent youtubers but also watching their content. However I think that younger people get convinced by this stuff so I'd rather have an alternative to all the 'muh patriarchy' nonsense that isn't just right-wing talking points- so in that sense I welcome these events.

Arigato, friend :D

Muscato is a little hard to watch. You know his fantasy crashes hard every time he looks in a mirror.

I tried to see if weight loss would enhance his femininity, since it's something he can actually do. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it makes much difference.

TFA has gone completely into the shitter. The sheer stupidity of David McAfee continues to amaze:

California travel ban is not like Trump's travel ban, because some folks voted on it:

But Hemant is pretty much a complete gonk most of the time now, too. He really doesn't seem to understand religion much.

Church of England now accepts credit cards. O, the Horror!

Mondays and Wednesdays they howl about pernicious stereotypes and binaries. Tuesdays and Thursdays they put on pink glasses and pink skirts, because that's what girls do.

Bunch of schizos.

Both.
I select a very minor few on the SJW subject to entertain me.
I have a couple to put me to sleep.
I have a few that are pure entertainment that have nothing to do with the SJW culture topic.
And then I fill it with interesting subjects.

Did anyone hear about the Football Lads Alliance march against extremism through London yesterday? If you rely on the MSM you wouldn't, not the right narrative.

No idea, I only got the vodka-and-lime-ice-cream thingy (we call it a Colonel, but I somehow feel Brive may disapprove).
