Must kill them that a Palestinian got to direct the latest Punisher movie

Also today: protesters at the right-wing pro-Israel rally in front of Rathaus Neukölln wore the "Punisher" skull - a symbol co-opted by far-right groups in the US in recent years

I always ask others to look at their applications and always send mine when asked. I thought that was good practice everybody engaged in?

I could say something about the others but I’ll leave it here.

Oh, and did I mention Ran Heilbrunn? He’s an Israeli Zionist “with German citizenship,” who tells us he’s a “philosopher” but who only seems to write about how queer theory need to be abolished and about the “technological vulnerabilities” of the IOF.

Following from David, there’s Travis Jeppensen, an artist/art critic who, like edgelord demon twink Pierre d’Alancaisez, also loves to jerk off to art that is against political correctness.

Then we have David Moulton, again, writer for Compact, who’s anti-“gender ideology,” digs Intelligent Design theories of the origins of the world, and who—guess what—also thinks gay men are the troops of Big Pharma.

Follow that with Blake Smith, regular contributor to Unheard and paleoconservative who wants to save sex from consent culture and who thinks the internet perverts desire.

João Florêncio @noisybits.bsky.social · 1d

Then there’s Stephen Adubato, associate editor at Compact and anti-woke memelord bro who knows “how to take a joke”, and who—among other things—wants to ban porn “to revive Eros.”

Leading the project, Amir Naaman, a personal trainer, and edgelord demon twink Pierre d’Alancaisez, a writer for both The Critic and Compact, who thinks that “the left can’t meme” and that gay men have become pawns of the biopolitical state and lost our ability to work as moral agents.

So apparently this book is coming out soon and it sounds like it’s about the great replacement of gay men by trans people. 🙄 a few notes on some of the sad contributors. I’ll call it “If Nina Power and Kathleen Stock Bred and Birthed 11 Gays”. 🧵 verdur.in/store/invers...

“And the whole world knows that this did not start on October 7, 2023. And these Israeli war crimes have happened with impunity, and with help and ‘legitimization’ from our governments, institutions, and media… Do not let me and the other volunteers on the flotilla be a distraction.”💥

Nothing surprises me anymore, unfortunately 😢

Oh that last bit of the paragraph—that system—was not the thing I was dissing. Those systems can be good indeed. I was pointing at the liberal bureaucratisation of identity politics that’s become endemic in UKHE
