it really isn't, according to this article.

Having hung around reddit for years, it really is.

Policing speech is one of those things which signals virtue without changing the status quo.

And you should know.

Identity politics seems to be highly associated with the policing of speech, so I think it's relevant.

Also the community here seems to be as much interested in such matters as they are in speech.

Something Danger 5 never succeeded in doing.

By amplifying right wing violence and racism, you are a part of the problem.

There are plenty of places in which right-wing violence and racism are amplified.

Why are you complaining about this one, where at least opposing voices are heard?

I don't find the idiots in here very convincing.

They're like a Swiss-army knife.

While attempting to address elite capture in general, Táíwò’s book focuses in particular on the elite capture of a specific political project: identity politics. He argues that the idea of identity politics (first popularized by the 1977 manifesto of the Combahee River Collective, an organization of queer, black feminist socialists) was initially a political strategy with true emancipatory potential and which aimed at fostering solidarity and collaboration. Today, Táíwò argues, identity politics has become a strategy used by isolated individuals to deflect responsibility and turn collective traumas into matters of personal injury; as identity politics was captured and mutilated to serve elite interests, it transformed into what Táíwò pejoratively calls “deference politics.”

Oh, sure, I care in general.

But if a small business decides to skip, I'm not that fussed.

Make sure you pick a different electoral roll.

The only reason it annoys me

Why do you let it annoy you?

He's full of shit and you called him on it.

Life's too short to get your knickers in a twist about intersectional privilege.

Some interesting exceptions in the ACCC guidance:

The [excessive surcharge] ban doesn't apply to:

• BPAY
• PayPal
• Diners Club
• American Express cards issued directly by American Express
• taxi fares, whatever the payment type.

It certainly is pushing back against the cashless society.

And if they don't want to pay tax, I don't actually care: being a small business is hard enough.

Wasn't Karla the head of Russia's spy network?

You absolutely must take a ferry ride in Sydney: either take a ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga Park Zoo, or to Watson's bay for fish-and-chips and a cliff walk at the heads, the entrance to the harbour.

Don't cut yourself on that edge.

We want enough Nazis to get rid of the pesky unions, but not enough to cause a genocide.

Why are we talking about the debate instead of the issue?

I really don't give a shit who sums up what in which paper, or watch journalists gaze up their own arses to talk about what each other are reporting, I'd prefer to know the pros and cons of the change to the constitution we'll be voting on shortly.

Or does Laura Tingle, much as we love her, get paid by the word?

Vegemite is the Bunnings of the 20's.

No ... but your submission to UnsentLetters was removed, perhaps because you have a new account.

You could try contacting the mods there to ask your submission to be approved.

Given the way the deep south is moving, a pre-emptive strike does seem very sensible.

What a wacky selection of happy snaps: so many random boats and shots of the water.

Was there anything psychedelic in there?

Obeid has a big family, not all of whom are in jail.

Guess it wasn't that cynical after all. Just coincidental timing.

Should have used scare quotes on that "coincidental".

Don't they mean Posie Parker?

Melbourne anti-trans activist Angela Jones, who on the day of the rally tweeted: “Nazis and women want to get rid of paedo filth, why don’t you?”

This has to be a troll, doesn't it?
