@ SGA

Don’t know about SJW, but “political correctedness” at best was more of an ironic self-description, wasn’t it? The vast majority of that expression’s use has been pejorative, I would have thought.

Um, I remember a lecturer of mine some 25 years ago using it is a favourable sense…although I think he also later mentioned that “Complaining about PC has become the new-PC”. Same thing has happened with virtue-signalling

Your lecturer might have been something of an exception? My memories of the word are predominantly (exclusively?) negative.

“This is sad. How about some compassion? Somebody? Anybody?”

My views on the issue of resettling large numbers of Muslims in the West should be well known by now.

That said, while the refugees are there the Greek government has a duty of care and protection. I have no idea how reliable the Greek police or army are, but they should be sent there to protect the refugees against any abuse or violence.

Medieval Christian views on Mohammed:

During the Early Middle Ages, the Christian world largely viewed Islam as a Christological heresy and Muhammad as a false prophet. By the Late Middle Ages, Islam was more typically grouped with heathenism and Muhammad viewed as inspired by the devil. A more relaxed or benign view of Islam only developed in the modern period, after the Islamic empires ceased to be an acute military threat to Europe.

The earliest documented Christian knowledge of Muhammad stems from Byzantine sources, written shortly after Muhammad’s death in 632. With the Crusades of the High Middle Ages, and the wars against the Ottoman Empire during the Late Middle Ages, the Christian reception of Muhammad became more polemical, moving from the classification as a heretic to depiction of Muhammad as a servant of Satan or as the Antichrist, who will be suffering tortures in Hell.

In the Doctrina Jacobi nuper baptizati, a dialogue between a recent Christian convert and several Jews, one participant writes that his brother “wrote to [him] saying that a deceiving prophet has appeared amidst the Saracens”.

He was the only one whom I remember using it, but the context was valid (as I recall he was describing subtle forms of anti-Semitism in some schools of biblical scholarship).

Also, my memory of the time (early 1990s) was that opposition to the phrase PC in NZ was just beginning to codify, especially when Lindsay Perigo left TVNZ and started his libertarian broadcasting (no doubt informed by conservative American influences among others) against a few choice targets. Those no doubt included all that he saw as a legacy of the likes of the Frankfurt School….

I don’t really know what relevance the New Left might have to labelling everyone you disagree with as a Social Justice Warrior. If your Wikipedia reference was intended to clarify that point: well, it didn’t.
I know it suits your agenda to lump any idea with which you might disagree with every other idea that you find discreditable, but reality is not so simple as you appear to believe.
Just as not every conservative is stupid enough to be a distributist, so every liberal is not a socialist or communist or whatever.

EAD at 8:44 am said:

100,000 homes – ignoring the stupidity of the policy, what a mess the elites are making of our country. That we need to build another 100k homes is the real story.

What a rotten state the “system” is in when the only way we can get growth is to concrete over our countryside and live like rats in cookie cutter apartments for which we must spend a lifetime servicing the debt.

We are losing what once made this country special all for the sake of a few % points of debt fuelled “GDP”.

The comment attracted a 15:3 ratio of up votes to down votes.

Everyone that upvoted him needs to pay attention to where EAD is coming from when he makes these sorts of comments.

First, he wants to go back the gold standard, even though this would mean that gold would become unaffordable for the average person on the street, and those gold rings on your fingers and the small amounts of gold in computer circuitry would be worth an absolute fortune. Cool for a while, but then completely unworkable. The world is moved on, GDP is too massive to be backed by physical gold.

Second, all this ranting about “elites” helps pave the way for some sort of major revolution in the future, on par with the type of transformation that Russia went through when Bolsheviks wiped out the rulers and then the layers beneath them and the layers beneath them so that the only ones that were left were the Bolsheviks and the poorest of the poor. The middle class and above are part of the “elite system” we live under. Ranting and allowing others to rant about elites paves the way for the destruction of the way of life that just about everyone here enjoys. Wake up.

And thirdly, losing what made this country special??? Wasn’t NZ one of the richest countries around in the past? And what makes us special is that we are so damn far away from everything else, yet we have pretty much a first world society here. Worrying about GDP helps us stay that way. Having access to debt helps us get ahead. Sure we have to pay it off, but it’s better than being stuck in a world where development can’t happen because money lending doesn’t exist.

Fourthly, the 100,000 homes comes from a party that is failing to get traction at the moment. Are they in charge? No. They have no say right now, all they can do is throw baubles in the air and see who catches them and therefore helps them get back into power. But they are not in power, and therefore not part of the ruling elite as such.

So EAD is just mixing up a whole lot of stuff that people react to, in an effort to engender outrage to see what sticks. Ignore him. Where he is coming from is so out of the mainstream and so close to the murdering totalitarians of the last century that it burns just to talk to him, and to talk about him. But then someone has to do it.

Rant over.

@Mike

“Shawn
I don’t really know what relevance the New Left might have to labelling everyone you disagree with as a Social Justice Warrior.”

SJW is just a term for New Left political activist. The Wki article spelt out what New Left is. Really, it was plain as day.

I don’t use the term for anyone I disagree with. Starting out with false statements like that is a standard tactic with you, and one reason why you get so many downticks.

I disagree with Islam. I don’t think Muslims are SJW’s.

I disagree with Communism. I don’t think communists are SJW’s.

I disagree with Nazism, I don’t think Nazi’s are SJW’s.

As a Protestant I disagree with Roman Catholicism. I don’t think Roman Catholics are SJW’s.

I use both SJW and PC in clearly identifiable and historically accurate ways.

These terms have valid, concrete meanings, both as I use them and as they are used generally by others. They are meanings that can be Googled, or researched.

The truth is mike, you don’t like having your political ideology named and shamed, and you like to pretend that what you believe is just “observing reality” or whatever other dishonest and pompous crap you try to hide behind.

Hence your whining about SJW and PC. But I’m not buying your snow job, and I doubt most other people here are.

Dinners up. Later.

Why can’t a Roman Catholic be a social justice warrior? I’m sure that I wouldn’t have to trawl very deeply in the alt-right sewer to find him described as such.
Wouldn’t Jesus (if he existed) be classed as a social justice warrior?

And now for something completely different, since we were talking about Assembler code the other day that powered spacecraft…

The code that took America to the moon was just published to GitHub, and it’s like a 1960s time capsule.

They’ve got a couple of examples of what the code looks like and some of the funnier comment sections, such as this sort of thing (loosely transcribed minus the assember, below:

#Astronaut: Please crank the silly thing around
#Terminate
#Proceed – See if he is lying
#Enter – Initialise landing radar

And then to leave the routine, this time with the assembler, but without the tab locations for the code:
TC POSTJUMP #Off to see the wizard
CADR BURNBABY

“That code is all about positioning the antenna for the LR (landing radar),” Burkey explained. “I presume that it’s displaying a code to warn the astronaut to reposition it.”

“Oh, you think I’m a ‘New Leftist’? I’m not.”

You really are Mike. You call it Liberal-Left or libertarian Left, but those are just different lables for New Left. When it comes to policy and worldview, you’re New Left.

Like I said, you just don’t like having your political ideology named, shamed, and mocked, so you obfuscate and hide and whine about anyone who does so, pretending that it’s all too complex to define. Bollocks.

“Wouldn’t Jesus (if he existed) be classed as a social justice warrior?”

Did the New Left exist then? No. Again, you’re pretending the term has no specific, concrete and historical meaning. It does.

Shawn has already explained that Jesus could not be a social justice warrior, as that term was not known in the 1st century. What Jesus preached has to be interpreted in the light of what Shawn believes today, and social justice doesn’t come into that at all.

No mike. Follow my words here closely, and slowly. It is the specific kind of social “justice” and the philosophical and political foundations behind it that make it New Left SJW.

Merely saying ‘social justice’ is, once again, trying to hide your political ideology, your political tribe. Like when a while back someone asked you your political views and you said “I just observe reality.”

Bollocks mike. And claiming that your version of social justice is not tied to your political tribe and beliefs is bollocks as well.

I mean seriously, do you really expect anyone to buy these obfuscations? They are rather obvious.

Your version of “social justice” is not philosophically or politically neutral. It is tied to a Leftist view of things, and one that is observably indebted to the New Left.

No one knows, actually. Over the centuries the gospels have been used to justify every form of control, reform and revolution known to the western world.
Seeing no one can agree about that, it should come as no surprise that Shawn struggles to define such things as liberalism and socialism.

None at all mike. Critics and enemies of Jesus tried to get him to take a stand on various political issues of the day. He refused. His mission was not a political program. Which is why there have been so many different and contradictory political interpretations of it.

I doubt there would be all that much we would diagree on Don. I have differences of opinion on some issues, mostly related to the classical Protestant-Catholic debate about faith and works, and the authority of the Pope, but I see them as more of a family debate, rather than a radical divide.

Meanwhile revolution is being fomented in the US

Saul Alinksy (whose writings Hillary did her thesis on) spelled out an 8 point plan for toppling a nation:
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Sounds like Obama’s domestic policy platform down to a ‘t’. And step 8 seems to be going very well right now with more rioting as we speak.

Brought to you by the new national socialists in our midst – fascism is coming again. What a weird world!

The 8 point myths you mean. A concrete example of right wing distortionism. Sure Alinsky was an organiser of the dispossessed mostly, but to sell this crap as real, and as his method, is completely dishonest.

Alinsky wrote plenty of things, but never wrote this, which is why none of the instances of this list on the internet actually cite where it’s from. It appears to have been invented in an email that was first circulated around early 2014. And then repeated over and over by people who liked the sound of it, on blogs and forum comments, etc.
