This is Library

Love this video. Some moronic protesters decided to use a megaphone in a library and this student shut them down with three words.

  Have you taken your meds this morning, lazza? What on earth is the point you are woefully attempting to make here?

    Nuku: Well said…his “point” certainly escapes me…Perhaps Mr Lazza doesn’t like the forum David runs? In which case he can always “Foxtrot Oscar”, as the currently popular vernacular has it…
    
    It is, after all, DPF’s “library”, to which we are admitted and remain at his grace and favour, and according to his rules…We can always FO if we don’t like how it’s run…

That meme just on it’s own is powerful enough to destroy fifty plus years of left wing activism.

  emmess: Can you explain exactly what a “meme” is? this appears to be a word entirely unknown to my trusty Concise Oxford…

    Must be a pretty old Concise Oxford. I hope you are not still using it to help with statutory interpretation.

    You asked emmess, but try this:
    
    …Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist, ethologist and author who is known for coining the word “meme” in his 1976 book…The Selfish Gene. (It) presents a gene-centered view of evolution in order to explain how behaviors like altruism could be adaptive. When discussing how natural selection might extend beyond biological replication, Dawkins proposed that ideas could be subject to Darwinian principles as well, since they appear to replicate by means of cultural transmission. To label this kind of information, Dawkins coined the word “meme” as the cultural analog to a gene. The word originates from the Greek word “mimeme”, meaning “imitated thing”. Under the Dawkins definition, a meme can be any idea, behavior or trend that has the ability to transmit from person to person.

      Actually no. Dawkins is a bullshit artist on that one (amoung other things). He did not coin meme – he admits to asking Classical study colleagues about it in one of his works (can’t remember which one sorry). Anyway, his “meme” is merely a shortened version of the protoethymeme which is ancient:
      eg. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-rhetoric/#enthymeme
      
      One of life’s delicious ironies is that in logic, protoethymeme means an argument in which one of the key premises is not explicitly stated. In Dawkin’s case, it means he’s a ripoff artist.

        Actually no…
        
        OK, despite the possibility of transgressing Kimbo’s law with that opening (on refelection, no – as the adverb is not a schill buttressing a likely falsehood) nonetheless you just replaced Jack5 as my no. 1 draft choice for my pub quiz team! 😉

    David G, this is how Google defines an internet meme as opposed to Kimbo’s more generic definition
    
    an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users, often with slight variations.
    
    I suggest you watch this Sargon of Akkad video on the Pepe meme to give you a good understanding

      My impression is that Sargon of Akkad is in the same league as Alex Jones and Paul Watson with their paranoid conspiracy drivel,

        Sargon claims to be of the left but he seems much too sensible for that
        Why would you say he is a conspiracy theorist? It’s not like he is claiming the Berkeley riots were a false flag.

      Yeah, for entirely self-interested reasons, I find that definition too narrow. “Kimbo’s law” may not qualify. But please, feel free to use it.
      
      (Hoping someone will ask, “what is ‘Kimbo’s law’?”…) 😉

    DG, it helps if you’re aware that the french word “meme” is an exact translation of our “same”, as in
    
    “C’est la même chose” equals “It’s the same thing”. HTH.

“This is library” wow just wow, I mean literally hate speech. Maybe Lizzie Marvelly can write about this horrifying case of mansplaining.

Excellent!!
I hope there was a safe space close by with cuddly stuffed toys for the protestors to hug their hurt away.

  That’s the way it often is with lefties.
  
  They pretend to fight oppression, but many of them are actually fascists.
  
  They profess to stand for tolerance, but they are utterly intolerant to anyone who is not like them.
  
  They want freedom of speech and expression, but only if you agree with them.

Thanks to all those kind chaps informing me what “memes” are…

Peterwn: You might need a dictionary to help you to interpret a statute old man – I prefer to rely upon my brain and a very sound legal education.

  I just remember that the meaning of an enactment must be ascertained from its text and in the light of its purpose. Considering ‘purpose’ works for me most of the time, such as considering the ‘purpose’ of the ‘three strikes’ law as outlined in your third reading speech.

Suppression is often confused with oppression. A functioning society needs to suppress elements within itself that would otherwise grow into an unsustainable dead weight. Protesters need to ask themselves, are they being oppressed or suppressed?

No different to Universities in NZ. Any speaker that isn’t approved by the left gets these wankers with megaphones turning up to disrupt the event and cause all the law abiding citizens to miss out on what they came to hear about.

Academics have a lot to answer for. They are so busy trying to close down students bars, and introducing women spaces rather than actually ensuring a safe and healthy environment for those that don’t conform with a communist doctrine

They are not protesters. They are internal terrorists who are part of a movement that has rioted, destroyed property and carried out mass shootings of police. They are Americas number one threat.

The appropriate response is an armed one, when faced with rioting mass murderers.

Unfortunately the young Asian man silences the crowd for a short period only as can be seen in the ‘long version’.
The dozen’s of edited hero versions are mostly media bullshit.

“UW University of Washington Trump protest in a library!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwK5tnwwW6c
“Hey, this library” about 1:31 in. Protesters bugger around for about 3 or 4 minutes then resume. Video runs to 30 mins 26 seconds.

  Why aren’t you out kidnapping and torturing “white” disabled kids for being Trump supporters, with your friends ?
  Run out of data on your phone from all that virtue signalling on social media again ?

Touche! … My “point” exactly! KB has become no place for rational informed and balanced exchanges of views. QED!
