They tried with the misinformation angle and failed. Now it's the racism angle which looks like it's failing. Wonder what the next angle will be.

They tried transphobia too... what's next? I guess there's terrorism and paedophilia?

It's all about the Benjamin's baby.

Rogan likes to put on a furrowed brow and even, pensive voice; the hallmarks of a reasonable man with an inquisitive mind. Someone who is "just asking questions" or "wants to start a debate." In reality, he's an intellectual shock jock who amplifies the voices of conspiracy theorists, white supremacists, homophobes, and transphobes in the name of interesting conversation. And it's becoming increasingly clear that as long as these tactics keep making him money and acquiring him followers, he doesn't care who he hurts along the way.

Looks like they're also going after Dwayne Johnson for supporting ol' mate Rogan. Kind of hilarious given Johnson is Samoan :kekw:

All pretence of this being anything to do with Spotify and COVID has been dropped. This is about Rogan personally, and the mob will go after anyone seen to be "aligned" with Rogan.

Good thing that Spotify can make their own decision about whether they want him and people can choose whether to use Spotify or not.

Remember that time Maynard James Keenan was a guest on Rogan? No, me neither, because Spotify just took that episode down. Activists didn't like that Keenan has been accused of sexual assault, and #believewomen.

Remember that time Amy Schumer was a guest on Rogan? No, me neither, because Spotify just took that episode down. Activists didn't like that Schumer did a skit mocking Beyonce, and #blacklivesmatter.

Remember that time Bill Burr was a guest on Rogan? No, me neither, because Spotify just took that episode down. Activists didn't like that Bill Burr said the word "Latino" at the Grammys #genderedlanguage and spoke in support of Gina Carano #FireGinaCarano.

I see that Spotify just deleted JRE 1218, an interview with Professor Gad Saad, Concordia University Research Chair in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences. I haven't listened to that one, and now can't, but I presume given his area of speciality he said something about sex differences in humans. Can't have that now #transwomenarewomen

Remember, this is all about Spotify publishing COVID misinformation.

Ahahaha just had a text from Princess, who is on a "women's leadership" panel to get women moving up the career ladder at her work. She's just received a memo that from now on there must be equal representation for men on the panel, because #inclusiveness.

Tune in for the update when she passes on news that it's now just a "leadership" panel. Which will of course be about jobs for the boys who worked it all out on the golf course on the Sunday morning before the panel met.

Need to respond "Here are our requirements: Needs to have track record of (etc)"
Basically along the lines of yes, of course men can contribute, but only if they've actually proven they will contribute positively & pass an interview by the existing panel.

So the woke mob with pitchforks was actually whipped up and pointed at Rogan by a Democratic fundraising body that wants to shut Sanders-fan Rogan up and prevent him from criticising Biden's COVID response before the elections?

lol no, it's disingenuous and the masses know it. You've previously stated this about the bias.

If legacy media really cared about the vulnerable then Bill Clinton would be getting absolutely rekt with his involvement with Epstein. Why the fuck did that guy fly with Epstein 26 times?

It's not a great approach, but is there a better approach?

Its pretty easy to differentiate.
Who has been oppressed, held back, screwed over etc etc.

You don't know your iwi, or speak Maori to have been discrimated etc. It's not just that person, but the generations before them that have put them in that position.

That's an interesting one. From the quick online post, it sounds backwards.
Especially if they are talking about have 50/50 representation.
But then if they are talking about ways to help women move up the career ladder in a system that for a long time has been heavily weighted to men, then would you not want to have some representation from men that can help.

Adele is the new JK Rowling and is cancelled.

Quote:
During Tuesday's BRIT Awards, which was held in London, the British-born singer scooped three trophies at the music awards' first ever gender-neutral ceremony, where male and female artists competed against one another in the same categories.

As Adele, 33, stepped out onto the O2 Arena's floodlit stage to collect the coveted Artist of the Year award—which saw her beat fellow chart-topper Ed Sheeran—she took the moment as an opportunity to express pride in her womanhood.

"I understand why the name of this award has changed, but I love being a woman and being a female artist—I do! I'm really proud of us, I really, really am."
Within seconds the trans activist torches and pitchforks were out on Twitter:

Quote:
@puumph
Who’d have thought #Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers.
Quote:
@ohheyjacob
Please, no, ADELE can't be a TERF. That last comment, though ambiguous, could be perceived as TERF-y. Please no.
etc etc etc

So Adele accepts an award that's eschewing gender, and she has to take the moment to celebrate gender, which has evoked a response?

Oh, we're expecting all our contradictions to be resolved already?

Resolve this

Quote:
Bristol University, a member of the prestigious Russell Group, has just issued guidelines to staff on the correct pronouns to use when addressing those who define as ‘catgender’.

The list specifically refers to ‘xenic’ individuals who do not fit in to ‘the Western human binary of gender alignments’.

It describes a catgender person as ‘someone who strongly indentifies with cats and may experience delusions relating to being a cat or other feline’. It goes on: ‘For example, someone who is catgender may use nya/nyan pronouns'.

The university has responded to the controversy surrounding the guide with the following statement:

“The University of Bristol is committed to gender inclusion. The correct use of pronouns is important to some members of our University community. The information on our website is designed to help people understand the different variations and nuances that this covers."

I'm forgiving for his n-word use as it does seem to be in context (not planet of apes comment that was terrible) AND historical. The rules have changed since then and so he's being judged on had he said it now.

However there are people of colour who find the context and delivery offensive despite being historical and it's not my place to tell them how they should feel about n-word use.

For me to mention Joseph Conrad's 1897 novella The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' is to make me as dangerous as the US Capitol insurrectionists! Such power! Terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

Definitely assigned male at birth. There's no evidence she's pretending to be transgender?

Remember, the category of women had been expanded to include gender.

There's plenty of transwomen in sport, it only seems to be a problem when they win. Then that type of inherent advantage matters, the rest still don't.

Well the winner and new record-holder in the women's swimming competition is an adult male human, so in that sense it's perfectly sensible to describe that individual as a man. He was certainly a man when he was ranked #462 in the men's event the year before last. I guess #1 is better than #462.
