Wasn't really sure where to post this latest JP outburst as it would fit in some many recent threads.....
...so fuck it, i'll just drop it here.

I really hate the hijacking of 'the left' by the SJW types who open up the rest of us to straw man arguments.
I don't really know who he is but he has it bang on!
Agreed. The irony is that it’s pushing many natural supporters of the left away from left leaning parties. A point I made in the RLB thread.
Listening to Douglas Murray’s ‘Madness of Crowds’ on Audible and it’s been a very insightful read. It exposes the complete doublethink at the heart of intersectionality and critical theory.
I’ll sum up these ‘academic’ fields in one anecdote:
These academics ‘hoaxed’ Journal of Women and Social Work by submitting 20 papers that used excerpts from Mein Kampf (adapted for the audience), 7 of the papers were published.
You honestly do not know whether to laugh or cry at these kinds of stories.
All Blair’s fault i tells ya. Force half the population to Uni when they aren’t smart enough for the sciences and you get an explosion in feminist theory and cultural appropriation degrees. Now we’ve got to pretend they’re as valid.
I agree the 50% of school students was and arbitrary number and no doubt that the inflation of students has increased the places for these degree programs.
But, this has been going on for a while, at least as far back as the 1960-70s in the US.
On my PGCE a couple of years ago I had concerns about how to quote students and colleagues in my essays because I didn't have a way to show proof they had said or done something. I was assured that 'nobody checks it in social sciences, you can just make it up and fit to suit'. Bit of a culture shock coming in from a field where you had to provide evidence that room temperature was what you said it was!
Funnily enough, when you challenge those people on their claims, they get defensive very quickly. Typically with personal insults and/or defamation. ‘You’re a white Male’ is a favoured.
I remember a back and forth with a sociology major and Labour councillor in a politics seminar. We were having a back and forth, both us speaking over one another at times. She accuses me of mansplaining. Even the lecturer stepped in and said that’s not true. I had to google what this meant after the seminar.
The attitudes of some of these people is really, really ugly.
Can we clarify what WOKE is these days? I know it originates from the civil rights movement in the US in the 60’s and is essentially black slang but these days it seems to be used as a put down by gammons to anyone who doesn’t agree with Katie Hopkins, doesn’t think brexit is a good idea, thinks criticism of the government means you hate England and would rather live in Italy etc etc.

Can somebody also clarify what a gammon is, seriously im too old for this shite...Can we clarify what WOKE is these days?

Just checking that people realise Jonathan Pie is a spoof character? Some of the posts are making me wonder if thats registered with people!
Not fussed if he is or not, is making good points.Just checking that people realise Jonathan Pie is a spoof character? Some of the posts are making me wonder if thats registered with people!
It's how Steven Crowder has made a living making videos of triggering students on different campuses. There was one great moment where a student did one on him but for the most part it's helping to portray a narrative that everyone who opposes right wing ideas is a maniac SJW.

I can safely say that's not trueI was assured that 'nobody checks it in social sciences, you can just make it up and fit to suit'.
Firstly, what student did Crowder in? I’d like to see that! I’ve only seen a few of his ‘change my mind’ segments.
Steveb Crowder is pretty funny, I occasionally watch his show. But, he’s a comedian first and foremost as opposed to a serious political commentator.
The original pushback against intersectional and postmodern politics was from socialist and Marxists. Why? Because dividing society in an infinite way drew away from the bourgeoisie oppressor narrative. Now, Marxists do piggyback these arguments.
The pushback against this ideology comes from all sides of the political aisle. From the left, you have Bret Weinstein (Sander supporter). Centre, Jonathan Haidt and Fukuyama. Then the conservatives you have: Peterson, Shapiro, Murray et al.
I can safely say that's not true
Ironic how it's straight about which side of politics is to blame
Well it's pretty obvious he's not a real reporter.So you didn't know.
LOL

Where was the forcing of university?All Blair’s fault i tells ya. Force half the population to Uni when they aren’t smart enough for the sciences and you get an explosion in feminist theory and cultural appropriation degrees. Now we’ve got to pretend they’re as valid.
