@CA_Conquistador @DockMonroe @BODY_W0_WHORGAN I bet you enjoy the smell of your own farts.

@DockMonroe @BODY_W0_WHORGAN By using class analysis as your lens, you co-opt a model the liberal mind is likely already using to assess history, but are now using as a sort of "reverse card." Word of thumb is to turn liberal thought structures back on them to bring inconsistencies into focus.

Insane for Mel Gibson to make like this INCREDIBLY racist movie for like 99% of it only to sort of pull the rug and be like 'yeah what comes immediately after this is so much fucking worse' with one shot

@oliverxacc @mheathx182 @nomad_dissident Yet they still enjoyed it. Asians watched Goodness Gracious Me.

@mheathx182 @nomad_dissident It's not self deprecating though. The hint is the "self" part, none of these people belong to the culture they're mocking

As always with Britain, the hidden hand of the class system may not be immediately obvious, but it is still exerting a force. Even at the time, there was widespread push-back at the mockney, working-class role-play of the likes of Keith Allen, Blur, Damien Hirst, Nick Hornby et al, but what is behind this weird impersonation? The upper-class/aristocracy has always been unobtainable to the middle and lower class. We are not like America, no matter how successful you are, you don’t become aristocracy, the best you can hope for is patronage or tolerance. In the 60s and onward we saw increasing backlash against the deference towards our “betters”, as Tony Benn rejected his title, and they became increasingly a target for mockery. In conjunction, the concept of the “working-class hero” developed. The middle, and especially upper-middle-class, saw a way of being “cool”, whilst snubbing their noses at the aristocracy, with far more people identifying as working-class than would be objectively defined as such. This is reinforced by our reluctance to celebrate success, tending to knock down people who succeed instead. Arguably, this is a form or Proto-wokeism, with class being a cultural identity group, and an inversion of perceived power structures. But this role-play has always been tinged with loathing. The attitude towards football fans, and especially England fans, is a decent proxy of views towards the actual working-class. And the song is shite.

@paulabearthe2nd @micmarierose You're awful, I'm surprised this amount of rabid cuntishness is making it into my feed without a blue tick. Vile woman

@micmarierose Michelle, seriously do you have learning difficulties? Are you seriously telling me you think Boris was at a party where people were having sex in a cupboard? Honestly please don’t have children.

Can we just stop saying that Boris partied while people died. Boris received some birthday cake in a meeting room with 3 other people who he worked with daily. That is NOT A PARTY and quite frankly, I am sick of hearing this crap.

@TheChrisLambert @TristamCandy The texture? Dude shut up

Ebert was wrong and admitted as much. But, yeah, you don’t have to like it. If the texture isn’t what you want to watch, it’s not what you want to watch. But the actual quality of the storytelling and thematic development and cinematography and mise en scene is actually top notch. A lot of people misunderstand the themes and think the movie is simpler than it is. Not saying that’s what you’re doing. But a lot of people who try to say the movie is “less than” actually only have a superficial understanding of what’s going on.

Fight Club has become underrated. From 1999 to 2003, it was a cult film. 2004-2014, it was universally considered a masterpiece 2015-2025, it becomes trendy to dismiss Fight Club as a “film bro”/incel movie that’s not actually that deep and if you think it’s deep it’s because you think Tyler Durden’s cool 2026, it’s a cult film again The irony is what gets me. The people who dismiss Fight Club usually do so out of a sense of superiority, like “Those wannabes think it’s deep but they just don’t understand cinema.” Except if you’re dismissing the thematic depth and film artistry of Fight Club, you’re actually the one who doesn’t understand cinema. Dislike Fight Club all you want. It won’t be for everyone and everyone is entitled to not like a movie. But don’t try to seriously argue it’s objectively lacking/lackluster/not deep/not filmic. That’s like saying “It’s actually easy to film a movie like Apocalypse Now. No one should be impressed by its production value.” Or “Citizen Kane has nothing interesting to say, it’s just all cinematography.”

@psyop_reject @ErenStraak @autogynefiles Frankenstein is also a feminist book, but you wouldn't get that. Too dry.

@ErenStraak @clevdar @autogynefiles Harry Potter is good for the younger kids, nope on Jane Austen, Frankenstein was dry, Hunger Games had too much feminism, Agatha Christie is worth a try, Ann Rice has too much homosexuality and pedo references, never heard of Howls

Sure. Which ones you do recommend?

@psyop_reject @autogynefiles Julia armfield. Sinead gleeson. Gabriel garcia marquez. Karin slaughter. You won't enjoy any of them.

@clevdar @autogynefiles I haven't read one female author that I truly enjoyed. Recommend me one?

@BlamKaboom @psyop_reject @littleoldcee @autogynefiles Female.

@psyop_reject @littleoldcee @autogynefiles Oh, that poor woman.

@psyop_reject @littleoldcee @autogynefiles "my wife goes to another school" energy.

@littleoldcee @autogynefiles Lol. Happily married but this illustrates my point. Women bring their emotions into everything they do. They can't help themselves but to act according to their mood. I have had 4 terrible experiences with different female doctors. Never again

@psyop_reject @autogynefiles What a weird barrier to infringe on yourself? Do you sleep with one pillow out of choice too?

@autogynefiles Go to any bookstore and look at the shelves. Every new fantasy, sci-fi, and horror book has been written by a female. I refuse to read female writers. I refuse to see female doctors as well.

@yawn_really @RafHM To hold back scurvy. You knew this

@RafHM The Royal Navy issued a substantial daily ration of rum to all hands back when it was kicking ass all over the planet. If it ain't broke don't fix it 😂

The puritanism of the Greens. Infused with as much zealotry as the killjoy Roundheads Is this odious woman trying to curry favour with her Islamist overlords? Enjoying booze is the cultural prerogative of every Briton - including Parliamentarians. That's why pubs near Parliament have division bells. Long may it continue. Cheers! 🍺🍹🍸🍷🥂🍾

@NealeSean @francisjfoster @triggerpod No thanks. I don't really care about the opinions of either of them?

@clevdar @francisjfoster @triggerpod Watch full length.

We’ve asked Zack on @triggerpod many times but he ducks every interview request because he knows his ideas are terrible & don’t stand up to scrutiny. So instead he goes on podcasts that give him softball interviews where he isn’t challenged.

@NealeSean @francisjfoster @triggerpod The very few clips I've seen Konstantin looks paper thin.

@clevdar @francisjfoster @triggerpod Konstantin had a full debate with Destiny where he addressed this point in detail—I’d recommend watching it.

@NealeSean @francisjfoster @triggerpod I just looked through 6 months of guests on their youtube. I can't see one. The amount of culture war 'they tried to cancel me' bullshit they have I'm not surprised no one 'on the left' wants to go on. Also, show me evidence of one person being invited and declining.

@clevdar @francisjfoster @triggerpod I listen to Triggernometry quite often. They do feature left-wing commentators, but many others seem to decline or ignore invitations—perhaps because their ideas wouldn’t stand up well to scrutiny.

@SivanAbx @TheExtremeMusi1 Still shite

@TheExtremeMusi1 Iron Maiden turned British heavy metal into pure legend and gave the world one of the most iconic figures in metal rock bands. Proud Brits, proud metalheads 😎🤘🏻🇬🇧 #IronMaiden #BritishPride

Who is the GREATEST British BAND of ALL TIME???

@felgdrrm This picture looks like all of my wife's ex boyfriends

is not that one i’ll tell you that

@NealeSean @francisjfoster @triggerpod Almost like they get guests that appeal to their own demographic of listeners for the sole purpose of building their viewer count

@NealeSean @francisjfoster @triggerpod How many right wing ideologues are going on left wing podcasts??

@francisjfoster @triggerpod Lol, brassneck much. You just described your entire career

@HiddenYorkshire So, you were ahead of the curve you've now deemed shit. Kudos on your foresight.

An important caveat is, as you know, I'm a big Northern Soul fan, and that relied on DJs finding really rare and obscure soul records, some of which might only have a few hundreds pressings. So I'm not anti-vinyl on principle, but my formative years were spend at the height of early 00s hipsterdom

I'm an anti-vinyl hipster. I can say that because I served my time being 14 and obsessed with collecting records and playing them on my mum's Dansette player, only to realise that I was fooling myself. Unless you're playing them on a very good, high-quality turntable and speakers, in the vast majority of cases there is no way vinyl *actually* sounds better than mp3. It's Emperor's New Clothes. A £££ turntable and speaker set? Okay, now we're talking. But let's be real here, most of your vinyl hipsters are using a terribly tinny HMV portable suitcase turntable and convincing themselves that it's somehow more ~authentic~ than Spotify. Just let it go. It's all about performance and aesthetics. You feel cool handling a record and posting about to Insta, but for actual musical quality, I'll stick with a good pair of headphones and my phone.

@HiddenYorkshire Blue tick guy railing on people's enjoyment of actual culture.

Record Store Day is an absolute con for desperate hipsters who want to parade their £45 purchase around.
