/lit/ - Literature

Why do they speak in such a funny way?

>>3450357
sort of seems like everyone's an asshole

>>3450357
Didn't bother watching because you posted a picture that implies what's going on in logic when it in fact isn't, yet shows a baffled woman and the words "men logic," all of which implies that the picture has something to do with logic, that the logic is male or utilized exclusively by males, that a woman could not understand it, and that you are a reputable source for comedy, when that is clearly not the case.

This was just a thread on /v/, they are both cunts, especially Starkey
>>3450392
Private schooling in this country does funny things to you

soooooooooo funny guys omg xD

>>3450398

>>3450439
LOL- is there a female targeted version of U MAD BRO? (aside from tits or gtfo)

>>3450448
stop digging

I miss when you could love literature and not be associated with leftist filth

>>3450459
Literature is, always has been, and always will be, leftist filth. That's why fascists kill the literate first.

Christ, that girl is annoying.

>>3450466
u avin a laff m8?

>mfw this guy is from the lse
real enlightened

>>3450466
Wow... are you twelve?

The old dude seems more like a /lit/ poster than the chick.

>>3450398
Mathematics is a form a logic. But I agree with everyone else you imply in your post.

>>3450398
>Doesn't understand irony.

>starts shit
>plays the victim when repercussions rain on her head

Oh, women.

>mentions Doctor Who in a panel
Any credibility she might have is obliterated.

How do I get invited to debates and shit? This 25 year old cunt gets to blab away and get events cancelled.

>>3450357
bwahahahahah

That video is insanely full of derp. Is this a BNP debate?

I have it paused at 2:39 now. Is there anything worth while here, or is the old dude just going to continue lambasting the young girl for not being charitable enough?

>this thread

>>3450602
there's finger-jabbing...
The first 2-and-a-half minutes are representative.

>>3450612
so this thread is basically >>>/pol/

>>3450602
She whines and plays the victim thereafter.

That bitch would probably get the Descartes though, as long as she keeps her mouth shut.
Here's her blog.

>>3450613
correct
the OP's picture should be a major tip-off.
(why wasn't I saging before?)

>>3450619
Considering the insane amount of ad hominem just directed her way, I'm not surprised.

>debate on 'britishness'
>just by conceding that this is a meaningful debate, you've already lost
>debaters hurl ad hominems at one another, as britsh=good person, and whoever is the best person is the most british.

Laurie Penny, 26, journalist, author, feminist, troublemaker, utopian. Contributing Editor at The New Statesman, writer for The Guardian, Vice Magazine, The Independent, The Nation, Salon and many others. Author of Meat Market (Zer0 Books, April 2011), Penny Red (Pluto Press, October 2011) and Discordia (Random House, 2012, with Molly Crabapple).

She has three published books. Fuck.

>>3450635
>Laurie Penny
>Meat Market: Female Flesh under capitalism.

Jesus fucking wept.

did that dude just pour himself a huge wineglass full of vodka?

>>3450653
Might as well celebrate after all of that pointing.

>>3450640
Discordia:

"DISCORDIA is a feminist-art-gonzo-journalism project conceived at Occupy Wall Street and created in the summer of debt and doubt"

"In particular the art-journalism collaborations of Hunter Thompson and Ralph Steadman, but reworking that tradition for a 21st century world where young women must still fight at every turn to be taken seriously."

This is an old long battle between these two. I personally can't fucking stand either of them.

>>3450659
That super-hyphenated word in the first sentence makes me feel profoundly tired.

>obnoxious guy gets stomped in a debate
LOL WHAT A DOUCHE

>obnoxious girl gets stomped in a debate
LOL WOMEN ARE DUMB

As sympathetic as I am to feminism and Leftist politics in general, I think Laurie Penny is an awful person, and a retard to boot.

The left really needs to get its working class intellectuals back and kick the Laurie Pennys and Owen Joneses out on their ear.

>>3450666
>WOMEN ARE DUMB

only one person said that

>>3450669
>I think Laurie Penny is an awful person
She's not that bad:

But then I've got a serious hard-on for feminists. They're like my particular fetish.

>>3450672

When this is (and has been) posted on /pol/ and /r9k/, it's the exceptions that don't say it.

>>3450674
I watched that a few minutes ago, there's nothing impressive about it.

>>3450666

You made your point earlier, no need to samefag.

>>3450674

I'll take Louise Ubermensch anyday, thanks.

I thought English private schools had standards. Why is she a student there.

>>3450682

Because being school smart =/= being worldly smart.

>>3450635
>Vice Magazine

why am i not surprised

>>3450682

Because mummy and daddy are loaded, and she's another champagne socialist.

>>3450684
>>3450686
I don't mean just standards in intelligence, but also how students dress and behave themselves. She looks like she's from some shitty art college in the provinces.

>>3450690

This is how British Yahs dress now, like trendy metrosexual twats.

>>3450626

I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.
If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.
Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.
The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board.
The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.
I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

>>3450693

>>3450687
Vice is the only decent thing on that list.

>>3450693
Fuck off back to >>>/jp/

>>3450696

You have to understand Japanese culture in order to understand sage. The Japanese people are a very pathetic people.

In Japan, it is common for a person to feel "unworthy" when posting in a thread and they feel that they don't deserve the right to bump a thread to page 0.

It's all very pathetic and that degree of low self-esteem is just something that the far more confident and charismatic western mind is not capable of understanding.

>>3450659
>a feminist-art-gonzo-journalism project conceived at Occupy Wall StreeT

Why do these people exist. Why do people take them seriously. What the fuck world.

>>3450707
They'll reap what they've sewn soon enough.

>>3450697
Okay, limp-wrist, occasionally champagne-drenched liberalness, but you can't say The Guardian is beneath Vice.

I liked Vice's travel guides but they're writing on the whole turns the snark factor well past tolerable. For some reason I find Vice's UK site more readable than the US one, which is like Tao Lin-lite.

>>3450693
>The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me

Because it can be and is used in that way. Are you fucking dense, you goddamn retard? It doesn't matter what the fuck its original use is. We can use it however we like.

Posting all that garbage makes you look weeaboo autist as fuck.

>>3450697
It's practically world news for disillusioned and detached 20 somethings.

I don't understand why this video is such a big deal. So she's a bit shaken up after Starkey repeatedly and aggressively jabs his finger in her face, who cares? If the accusations made against her are true, then yes, she's a bit of a hypocrite, and maybe she's a little annoying, but David Starkey most certainly is a racist prick... One inarticulate feminist doesn't change that or discredit feminism or leftists.

The comments underneath the video are more annoying than Penny Red is in the video itself.

>>3450716
More like overprivileged hipsters who haven't worked a day in their lives entertaining others like them. It's shit.

>>3450721
They are true. She admitted it.

>>3450721
>David Starkey most certainly is a racist prick

Source.

>>3450726

Can you read and think at the same time?

>>3450726
Most things David Starkey says, this is common knowledge

>>3450716
>somebody truly disillusioned
>turning to vice

>>3450726

My tumblr blog.

>>3450732

Of course I can, but my definition of "racist" isn't "someone who hurts my feelings"

>>3450725

Fine, she's a hypocrite. I really don't give a shit either way. She's not a particularly interesting leftist to me.

>>3450726
His comments after the London Riots is the easy to find example. You'd think someone who gets paid to pretend to be a historian would know more about maintaining image. He's also been very sexist about female historians in the past.

>>3450735

What? Read his words, listen to what he says. He's clearly a racist. I can't link you to him admitting he's a racist, sorry.

>>3450737
If you don't know or care, why comment at all. Just fuck off pleb.

>>3450743

You seem like a really smart person.

>>3450743
They were pointing out how this video is of little importance either way, which is true. Neither speaker represents much outside of themselves

>>3450746
I am. I'm the person who just corrected you, because, unlike you, I can actually pay attention to a 6 minute video.

if you go to university in america you'll see this type of woman everywhere, sadly

>>3450752

You didn't correct me...? I never defended her or claimed she wasn't a hypocrite. I think some things are going over your head here.

David Starkey is a beacon of light in the leftist shithole that is Britain

>>3450743

I think you're confused. It doesn't matter to me if she's a hypocrite or even an absolute idiot. I'm not defending her.

>>3450746
Coming from a leftist. Is that supposed to be ironic?

>>3450756

Again, you seem like a really smart person.

>>3450763

Okay, pal.

>>3450758
You didn't know if the accusations were true. You would have if you paid any attention at all because she admitted it in the same video. Then, when I pointed this out to you, you shrugged it off as if you really didn't care or wanted to know anyhow. Stop taking pride in ignorance. Either discuss the subject properly or shut up if you have nothing to contribute.

>>3450769
The point I made stands whether or not the accusations are true. Are you a fucking child?

What I meant when I said "even if the accusations against her are true" I was referring to those made against her both in and outside the video, like the accusation that she had a trust fund, for example.

I don't understand what your problem is.

>>3450769

You're really clever and perceptive
