Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[JimmyJeffers]

Decent read:

The Free Speech Grifters

Why some of the country's biggest public intellectuals are so fixated with a small minority of liberal college students.

‘But the Free Speech Grifters never seem to be concerned with exactly whom they are entertaining with their performative indignation and why. It's kayfabe for those who are perfectly comfortable with enforcing the status quo.’

Good piece that. It’s an industry of nonsense.

Johnson using the tradegy of Ukraine to push the phony culture war, utter vultures these fellas. Also very odd when you consider the social political views of putin and his supporters

Pete's started doing it in the Tory thread now, deflection and gaslighting, classic Tory moves.

His weird digs on Biden in the Ukraine thread are glib and ineffectual. My sense is he is on the ales when writing these...that's the best explanation, as opposed to wanting to get into a factual back and forth about how Trump versus Biden would have handled the Ukraine.

That and having come home from the pub he's found the wife reluctant to give up the remote, and being disinterested in X Factor has decided to have a yarn about the good old Thatcher days.

The next UK election will largely be fought on an ‘anti woke’ agenda. Already seeing it creep in with ministers having clearly been briefed. It’s the last defence of the right, to distract from their failed policies and profiteering. Will probably work as well.

Although my bottom isn’t the best public speaker it is better this this incoherent ar*ehole

I notice the latest trend on Twitter is to blame a celebrity death on the covid vaccine. First Shane Warne, now Taylor Hawkins. Usually with messages like "the narrative doesn't match the truth, I can't tell you on here" or "makes you think doesn't it" etc. These people are absolutely disgusting, vile arseholes.
