I believe in the 1980's in London - there was a proposal to rename the Cecil Rhodes apartment block to something more progressive and Robert Mugabwe was suggested.

Good observation for the SJW dictionary:
Raising awareness - Lying, allegedly for a greater good. (Compare: Taqiyya; Lying for Jesus).
We should write an SJW speak to English dictionary.
Would be quite the amusing read.

The shoop artists can do the pics.
What about a SOCJUS to Nazi dictionary? Patriarchy=International Jewery, Women and PoC=Aryan/German, Men/White People=Jews, etc.

The Patreon is not opportunistic - he set it up for a bunch of other projects, including a book on how feminists hate and abuse fags. If you have some loose coppers, there's worse places to throw them.
Meteoryan is fucking great, he's funny and feisty and almost always good value. He's been a proactive anti sjw'er as long as I have been a pitter.
Yep. I was kind of destroyed when Ryan decided to leave facebook. We used to have very funny chats there. A great guy all round.

Virtue signalling is something I disliked before I found out there was a term for it. I remember hanging back on Kos before I got completely sick of the place and something like the Chik-fil-a boycott would come up. Immediately you'd be inundated with dozens of people who said that they've never eaten there and also the food is terrible and only idiots like it. Which not only completely misses the point of a boycott (as a non-customer, your continued lack of business is never going to make any difference to them, morons), but is also insulting the people who are actually taking part in the boycott.

The guy with his head in the vice.
The head in the vice scene is from Casino. Easy to mix them up though, both Scorcese movies, with De Niro and Pesci amongst others.
Then I must have some edited version, because that scene is missing from my copy of Casino. Was it some kind of Director's Cut thingy?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Nicoletti says:
In 1962, Nicoletti took part in an infamous torture case. He, Alderisio and Anthony Spilotro, known as "Tony the Ant", had kidnapped 24-year-old Billy McCarthy, a thug who had killed two Outfit associates with the help of Jimmy Miraglia, also age 24. The three men started torturing McCarthy to find out the name of his accomplice. Spilotro had placed the man's head in an industrial vice and started squeezing it tighter and tighter. Suddenly, McCarthy's eye popped completely out of its socket.[3] At that point, he revealed his accomplice's name; then both men were killed. Years later, Tony Spilotro told this story to his friend Frank Cullotta. Spilotro was impressed by Nicoletti's reaction to the gory scene: "Boy, this is a heartless guy. He was eating pasta when Billy's eye popped out." This torture scene was re-enacted in Martin Scorsese's 1995 film, Casino.

You might want to read Siouxsie Wiles, a fellow Kiwi, rather than Perrot. She points out the real problem with the attitudes that too many skeptics and atheists have:

(Quoting Wiles) "Watson and Roth continue to be active in the atheist/skeptic community but many others have left because of the treatment they have received. It saddens me that Dawkins either doesn’t appear to understand the impact of his actions, or doesn’t care, and neither do his supporters. Perrott ends his post by implying that Watson and others are bullying extremists who bandy around words like “sexist” and “misogynist” to shut down important discussion. I disagree. They are valuable members of the atheist/skeptic community ....."

jimthepleb wrote: Of 400 cows I would expect to have to assist with maybe 20-40 births. However we are breeding Holstein/Freisian-Jersey/Shorthorn crosses which are on the whole very small calves. For some of the purebred beef cattle especially the European Continental breeds such as Charolais or Belgian Blue that could rise to as much as 20-30%. The new farm I am on hasn't required a C-section on a cow for the last 3 years, which is quite remarkable. These days the bulls we artificially inseminate from are chosen for ease of calving both ways, ie mothers pelvic size and calf size.
I'm not at all worried about talking about this (except for boring people stupid), I assume pitters understand the realities of life, and don't concern myself that I may be treading on vegan feet. We did have a recent experience where a vegan group came and poured antibiotics into our milk tank, which was quite amusing as we block calve and hadn't been milking for over two months, so a lot of effort on their part for absolutely no effect on us.
Yeah, just what I suspected. A fucking :nin: with even better explanations.

Interestingly enough, in the comment there's a plethora of SJWs who defend the idea of taking down the statue of Cecil Rhodes (the event which inspired the article) which caused the readers to with various arguments which basically boil down to "tearing down the past sends a signal to the present" and that they're not reacting out of outrage, but because they're "fighting against injustice". Many suggest destroying or spraying painting the statue as a way to signal their virtue.
Nelson Mandela was happy enough to work alongside the Rhodes Foundation:
Mandela Rhodes Scholarship

A Mandela Rhodes Scholarship provides full funding for up to a maximum of two years of postgraduate study for an African citizen under 30 years of age. The award is open to all African citizens under the age of 30 years and recipients must study towards Honours or Masters Degrees at recognised South African institutions. Although no maximum number of awards has been stipulated, the scholarships are highly competitive, with fewer than 30 scholarships being awarded each year since its inception in 2005. The scholarships cover tuition, accommodation, meals, book allowance, general allowance, and travel expenses. Recipients of the Mandela Rhodes Scholarship are students with outstanding academic achievements who also possess leadership ability, entrepreneurial skills, and a commitment to reconciliation. In addition to receiving funding for their studies, scholars also undertake a leadership development program while in residence. The award is named after Nelson Mandela and Cecil Rhodes and is administered by the Mandela Rhodes Foundation which is a partnership between Nelson Mandela and the Rhodes Trust.
But is not like that cis hetero shitlord knew anything about Apartheid.

Given that the original dis-invite was not a unanimous vote from NECSS, would Jamy be one of the two possible no votes?

Probably Steerzjered, but tye interview was postponed, and SH ran an Ask Me Anything (his third to date) instead. He mentioned scheduling difficulties - but I came away with the impression it wasn't SH that applied for the adjournment.

I think the interview was instigated by SH after NM tweeted something negative about him and he approached her about that, and invited her on the podcast to talk through some issues. It has potential to be uncomfortable for NM.

For Steersman, since he frequently seems to get those countries mixed up:

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/imag ... NQHwIPOUPw

Swiss refers to Switzerland. Switzerland is a country located mostly in the Alps, its official languages are German, French, Italian and Romansh, and it's a confederation of different cantons which have very different policies.

Swedish/Swede refers to Sweden. Sweden is a Nordic country, thousands of miles away from the Alps, its official language is Swedish, and it's a centralist state which in the last years has consistently followed a centre-left, substantially SJW-friendly policy.

Ashling is delightful. For one, she drank a pint of Guinness with me while Michael was sipping orange juice (through no fault of his own, he just doesn't drink alcohol). Aside from that, smart and funny, lots of good wit.

Ireland is not the UK and the libel laws are different. They were revised a few years ago and intended to be a lot cheaper. While UK libel can't be enforced in the US maybe Irish law will. You have 12 months to take action so I think Myers is out of the woods. I suspect he researched it for himself too which is why he has toned down his Nugent rhetoric.

Helen, thank you for putting into words what I have been thinking get and feeling. As a feminist I've been called a rape apologists a rape enablerand a lying wanker. I don'the know if you are aware of the smearing campaign against Michael Nugent from Atheist Ireland, but I think this is a perfect example of what you are explaining here. However, I will continue to call myself a feminist, I won'the let them take that from me
Ashling is delightful. For one, she drank a pint of Guinness with me while Michael was sipping orange juice (through no fault of his own, he just doesn't drink alcohol). Aside from that, smart and funny, lots of good wit.
Yes, I was quoting her with a happy smile,on my face.

Also look who has come out to play and femsplain as part of the NZ brush war.

Apparently Jamy Ian Swiss is also coping 100% of the blame for the dis-dis-invitation. On the basis that Dawkins addressed him when declining to participate in the rescheduled pogrom.

Given that the original dis-invite was not a unanimous vote from NECSS, would Jamy be one of the two possible no votes?
You couldn't get odds for that bet.

I think someone should send that pic of Nugent eating babies to Ashling and see if she wants to add it to her post.

I saw them live at the Borealis rave party back in 1997 while in the army. Those guys are as close as you can get to Metal when it comes to electronic music.

I remember hanging back on Kos before I got completely sick of the place and something like the Chik-fil-a boycott would come up. Immediately you'd be inundated with dozens of people who said that they've never eaten there and also the food is terrible and only idiots like it. Which not only completely misses the point of a boycott (as a non-customer, your continued lack of business is never going to make any difference to them, morons), but is also insulting the people who are actually taking part in the boycott.

Lol I know a lot of people who still refuse to eat at the that place. They don't understand how boycotts work. You make demands and don't buy from and or pickett a place. They give in to your demands. You go into and get some chicken sandwiches. If you don't reward the company for doing what you want your boycott will not work in the future.

Sue in Ireland or the US? Expensive in the US. 100k-250k to go to court. Plus, in the US he would have to clear the hurdle of being a public figure. If in Ireland, he could not have a chance of collecting. All it would do is make those people have to avoid visiting the UK in the future.
Ireland /= UK.

It's not that bad (although it clearly needs more photoshooping.)
Maybe something like this?

Nugent is Canadian?
Nah....none of us have teeth like that. Or, apparently when dealing with twitter "oppression" cases, balls.

Need a gmail because you need a hangouts (googles chat system) account.

Ok should work, but the preview for the pm has cut out the first few letters behind my avatar. I anticipate it would be pretty easy to work out though.

I had an episode in Vietnam where I almost lost control of mine. No trauma, just the bug. Thank god for a nearby restaurant with a ladies toilet that was free. I don't even identify as female.
Nearly shat my pants while strolling around with Alicja and Gefan. I had to make two runs to the local hospital. For the free toilets, mind you, not a consultation.

It's a book for queer separatists, sort of a now that you've moved to include us, we don't want to be included, kind of thing. Total heterophobia and I'm curious as to whether Rowe is actually trans of jusrt appropriating the identity and putting on trans "blackface" just to "win" an internet argument.

TIL I learned a new term here on the pit. Virtue signalling...and I like it. :)

Nugent is getting hell from the trans lobby on Twitter, not gonna try to link on phone. Too bad there isn't an autism group to counterattack. They're pretty abelist about that shit.

Nah, just kidding. She's going to spend a year focussed on feminism :roll:

What a splendid way to admit that you don't actually have any acting chops and are trying to make your life look purposeful.
