Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Goat]

Owen Jones is unquestionably an utter bellend.

That surely cant be in any doubt?

 

[Charro]

So you want me to stop using twitter because you feel I hold a different view about Owen Jones to you, so I must be warped, but you are OK to keep using it because you agree with yourself? That sound about right?

That quite obviously is not what I’am saying.

Only twitter can make somebody think owen jones and Katie hopkins are comparable.

That’s up to you to realise that.

And you’re the one who is constantly accusing people of either being shadow tories or momentum members when called out the rubbish you lost in this part of the forum.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

He does exist outside twitter, la.

I take it that like me, @Charro and @Daveysgingerlovechild you too find him and annoying ferret?

He’s not someone I pay a huge amount of attention to, but I respect his position on most matters. It’s weird how he’s disliked by many Labour supporters. His stance is fairly aligned with core labour values and he can at least back it up with some substance.

This idea that all labour supporters should like all the other labour supporters is a bit silly.

Its like saying we should like all Everton fans.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

You did not need to try and windmill your way into a conversation in some misguided attempt to try and tell me that I am either not allowed to dislike Owen Jones or be of the opinion that his divisive grift is a similar MO to that other toad, Hopkins. If you want to take on board what being a pr*ck maybe consider this and add it to your list of being things that you got wrong.

You made a ridiculous comparison and are now wheeling back pretending it didn’t happen and obfuscating the argument.

Owen Jones the same as.... Katie Hopkins??

Surely you'd go for something like Femi, Russ or Skiiiiiii there

No. If he's the yang to Katie Hopkins' yin is though.

Hitler would be the closet comparison I could make regarding Hopkins.

Let's be fair to adolf, he had drug addiction and his Alsatians going for him...

Yep. These are the left wing versions of Katie hopkins.

Even then, it’s harsh throwing femi in there, but I don’t mind as I hate him.

I think even those defending him here are not contesting that particular point

Our ability on the left to hate is each other is our greatest strength

I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.

 

[tsubaki]

No I don’t use Twitter as it’s by and large full of nonsense.

Careful, saying that is a good way of being labelled as Jones yourself.
