[ArcadiaGP]

the UK police are understaffed and underfunded with violent crime breaking all sorts of records, and this is what they do.

It's almost like they don't read their own headlines.

Oh, they read them. They all fit their narrative. They count on the fact that their typical audience will agree with the narrative and not not ice or question when things like the above take place.

When you lack any true guiding principles other than "the other guys are WRONG!" it is normal and expected that the narrative will "evolve" as their views become more "woke." Rule by emotion and slogan, and, as some of them are learning, the target of today's ire and vitriol can shift in an instant.

Yesterday, Brad Glasgow got a tweet from one of his followers. It contained the hashtag #LearnToCode, and a joke about it.

That follower was banned.

Brad then ranted about this happening, because it's absolutely bull****. Obviously no context being taken into consideration.

Well.

Now he's been timed out.

Twitter is ****ing retarded.

Twitter is ****ing retarded.

I think much of society has been saying that for years.

I think it's a mistake to say they have no principles. They have a world view based on some principles which are different from ours. You could say that narrative is really a world view. It's not like we don't have a narrative too, and it's not like we like our narrative to be criticized either. Yes. They think we are wrong. We think they are wrong too. And I do believe they are wrong about a lot of things. It's not the principles underlying their world view that are so wrong. It's the part in between principle and conclusion where I think things go wrong.

For example, fairness and ending oppression aren't bad principles. But as its integrated into their world view the outcome creates more oppression, which their worldview is incapable of acknowledging. It's not because of their principles. When people criticize 3rd wave feminism, feminists just say, "we only want to be treated fairly". In our world view, most of us would tend to agree, women shouldn't be treated unfairly. But there's a whole lot of unspoken worldview wrapped up in their statement which makes it mean something completely different from how we mean understand it.

A major fault in their worldview that they get most wrong is they view human nature as collectivist. When you feed those same principles, fairness, ending oppression, through a world view based on individualism, you blame the individuals responsible for such crimes. When you feed those principles through the ****ed up collectivist world view, you get headlines like The Christchurch Shooting Should Implicate All White People.

Did NZ gov ban it, or did the retailer?

Reading that notice I infer the latter.

It's great that the more "advanced" countries have far outgrown that nasty freedom of thought that keeps them from progressing onward!

If it was the retailer, I suspect they're doing it to keep up their "good citizenship," before the NZ gov comes to "help" them with that. Just a guess, though.

I've got a bunch of stuff for this thread, but been busy all day, and I'm beat. I'll try catching up tomorrow


Just a quickie:

I must have missed the memo. What, if any, is the connection between Jordan Peterson and Brenton Tarrant?

Because Jordan Peterson is a gateway drug to full blown Nazi. Well. No. Ben Shipiro is the gateway. Jordan Peterson is the steppingstone. Apparently.
