Holy shit. That’s awful.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
A major political party trolling "pronouns in bio people" on Twitter, a damning indictment of modern culture if we needed one.
Honestly the worst thing I’ve ever seen from any mainstream political party. I wonder if they’ve gone too far? Surely that will disgust a lot of moderate Republicans?
I'd imagine they'll both discuss it extensively over dinner.
Looks like he will be the next Ben Shapiro for the right in US. Let the grifting begin.
Don’t really think they exist anymore.
nah that was all Christopher Rufo, Lindsay's just a hanger on who latches onto anything like that to claim credit for wins
Oh god you're right. I think the reason I mixed them up is one of them has a sword emoji and this guy did that great swordplay video.
I have no idea what any of that stuff he was saying means. It doesn't even sound like real sentences and he is visibly huffing his way through it.
Word salad.

I don't get his remark about being Tucker Carlson?
I'm assuming he's joking that the M&M's have him wanting to declare war on the woke Marxist big corporations, like Carlson.
Ya, same.
OTOH, now Tucker has had his say, and I think it's cringier than the company's? How on earth can you get red-faced angry on TV about this.

It’s been mentioned before in this thread but I’m only just getting round to listening to Jon Ronson’s “Things Fell Apart” podcast. Deep dive into the origins of this culture war. It’s amazing. Anyone with even a vague interest in all this lunacy should listen.
It's true to say that there have been Culture Wars in every generation.
But what different in 2022 is that the warfare has morphed into something more akin to Messaging Wars.
Which is to say that people are no longer primarily fighting about ideas. The battleground has shifted to concerns about platforming and who gets to contribute to the narrative.
What that means, amongst other things, is that a present day leftist's biggest enemy is now the centre-left rather than the right.

I've not listened yet but I can tell you my 64 year old, only moderately online, dad found it really interesting, so it seemingly has reach beyond its most obvious audience.
It goes back to culture wars your dad probably remembers. “Satanic panic” in the 80s. So well produced too. Just a great listen.
They should unironically ban anyone from social media and academia who says this

Bizarre stuff.
Is this satire?
Unfortunately not. Certain sect of left does believe and propagate the notion of disregarding any philosophy that may cause emotional harm to any group of people.
What philosophy can withstand such scrutiny?
Indeed, I got blocked after calling it a psyop
What's this about fatties?
That final paragraph was amazing in it's audacity.

Genuinely impressed that Jordan Peterson is now more online than me. Had to google.
What’s a wordcel? Part of the reason I don’t understand anything because online language and lexicon is constantly being changed. 
Same, never seen those words before. Assuming this is the 2 kinds of IQ, and conservatives (or classical liberals) have spatial, and eventually it's just facts > feelings in a new form?
Someone willing to die for Microsoft wordWhat’s a wordcel? Part of the reason I don’t understand anything because online language and lexicon is constantly being changed.
I wonder if there is an element of high functioning autism (or more to the point, people who identify themselves as having autistic traits and like to think they're a genius) > neurotypical as well.
There are 2 kinds of IQ now?
Had to google wordcel. Turns out it’s made up bollox created by JP’s number one fans.
This is what the right believes
Meanwhile The Beeb are reaching out to transphobes for their articles, The tories have been in power for more than 10 years, Tennessee School Board are banning books on the holocaust yet the 5 minute lip service to rainbow flags means the media's been infiltrated by newspeak communists.
