The Way Some Gamers Talk About Pragmata's Diana Is Disgusting, And Must Be Stopped - "I have not yet played Pragmata"

Meet Farah Ahmed, Jason Arday’s colleague | The Spectator - "During her time at Cambridge, she has written that the Islamic concept of education is sharply opposed to ‘gaining literacy and numeracy and other disciplinary skills demonstrated through qualifications’... Most popular Melanie McDonagh The tragedy of Jason Arday The tragedy of Jason Arday James Dixon Nothing beats writing by hand Andrew Gilligan Why is Cambridge platforming Islamic creationism? Ahmed is now responsible for postgraduate research in education at Britain’s top university, and for teaching undergraduate students, the future leaders of the profession, ‘how education shapes individuals and society.’... in any subject, boys and girls may be asked to work together. ‘As Muslim parents we try to protect our children from the rubbish that western society encourages’, but interaction with non-Muslim children in the playground, which is ‘full of the competitiveness and individualism that western culture encourages… moulds their personalities away from Islam.’ As she puts it: ‘western culture is playground culture.’ Ahmed first came to public attention in 2009, when I exposed the fact that she was running two private primary schools, and getting more than £100,000 in public money to do so. At least three of the four trustees of the schools were Hizb ut-Tahrir members or activists, including the wife of Hizb’s then-leader, and the schools’ curriculum closely matched key tenets of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s separatist, anti-democratic ideology... The story caused a political row, but predictably enough the then schools secretary Ed Balls, the Charity Commission and Ofsted did absolutely nothing. Ahmed went on TV, presenting herself as a poster girl for Muslim persecution, though coyly refusing to answer when asked if she had ever been a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir. The two schools, in Haringey and Slough, continue to receive public funding (£382,000 last year) and Ahmed is still a trustee of the body which runs them. Now, however, she has rather clearly moved up in the world... As well as being an assistant professor at the university itself, Ahmed is director of something called the Islamic Educator Learning Community (IELC), part of Camtree, the Cambridge Teacher Research Exchange. Camtree is a centre at Hughes Hall, the Cambridge University college where Ahmed is a research fellow and member of the governing body. In summer 2023, IELC, Camtree and Cambridge University ran a conference on Islam, science and education to ‘recognise the role of science as part of a wider modernist and colonial project’, and to ‘consider challenges’ to the view that ‘sees science as “objective knowledge”’. Ahmed was one of the organisers. In December 2023, Ahmed and Cambridge University also organised a conference to ‘unlearn conventional teacher education and move toward Islamically grounded teacher development’. This attacked the ‘secular, neoliberal system of education’ as ‘anti-metaphysical’, and said that teachers ‘need to re-centre our focus on preparing the Muslim learner for the akhira,’ everlasting life after death... IELC’s website promotes (though claims it does not endorse) a site called ‘Salafi Homeschool’. This attacks the fact that ‘many Muslims openly participate’ in celebrating Christmas and warns that ‘repeated exposure [to non-Muslim festivals] can lead to normalisation. Without clear teaching, children may begin to associate happiness, generosity, and togetherness with non-Islamic celebrations instead of the occasions Allah has chosen for this ummah.’ ‘Whether it is “just a roast,” “just a birthday cake,” or “just presents for the children,” these actions blur the clear boundaries of the deen,’ it continues. Salafi Homeschool also warns that by going to state schools Muslim pupils may asked to ‘sing songs with messages that conflict with Islamic values’, or ‘join activities like mixed-gender dancing’... If gaining qualifications in literacy is wrong, if scientific truth is a colonial construct, and if celebrating Christmas is forbidden, we really are almost back to the world of Ahmed’s old Hizb pamphlet, where English is dangerous, fairy tales are evil and biology is blasphemy. Only this time, dressed up in slightly prissier language for a gullible academic audience, it is happening at the heart of the British educational establishment. Once again, I predict, the authorities will do absolutely nothing, ignoring all the evidence outlined in this article. The case of assistant professor Farah Ahmed will become the latest exhibit in the gradual suicide of Britain and the West. When Ahmed says that British society is corrupt, her appointment to this job proves she is surely right."

The Irish Politics Newsletter on X - "This is shocking. At an EU Foreign Affairs Committee meeting, Lynn Boylan lamented that it was “a pity we can’t use our own language.” When it was pointed out that she could, in fact, speak Irish, she backtracked almost instantly: "I wasn’t prepared, so I’ll use English.""
Adam 🇺🇦 on X - "This is superb. Sinn Fein MEP scolds the European parliament for not providing interpreters to let her speak in Irish. She's told that the Irish interpreters are present. She flubs for a moment and then continues in English, because she doesn't actually speak Irish"

Daniel on X - "Remember when people on TikTok were mind blown by Osama bin Ladin’s letter to America and then you go and read it and it’s like “we want to kill Jews. Why do you stop us from killing Jews.”"
Thread by @simonsarris on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "yeah the letter reads like almost comic villainy. "Civilians deserve it, we hate you for your freedoms(!) especially gambling and loaning money with interest, alcohol, various acts of fornication, your anti-WMD stance, and choosing your own laws instead of taking Shariah law"he shoehorns in a lot of what he must have assumed at the time were wedge issues, though many were years out of date by then (AIDs, industrial pollution, clinton scandal). Also strangely incest, which is astronomically higher in Islamic countries. Grasping at anything.despite the grasping, as we saw on tiktok, it works. You don't need to do more than button mash issues to get people to think you've said something intelligent. If you have a 1-in-30 hit rate, if the 1 grazes their political ideals, even if the rest go against, it seems to work!"
We are still told that Islamists do not hate the West for its freedoms

Basil the Great on X - "🚨NEWS: The release of the transcripts around Henry Nowak's murder have revealed that Police Officers went back 6 years in his phone messages to when he was just 12 years old in an attempt to find anything they could use to describe him as a racist. Sickening"

Would I get to keep my job as Professor of Racist Grievances at Cambridge?

Priyamvada Gopal: "I resist urges to kneecap white men every day. So, no **I** am the hero."

Meme - Tim Worstall: "Apparently if you note the uneven distribution of epicanthic folds among the population of the world then you're a racist. Note that this is a Professor at Cambridge making this claim. Sigh. That's before we get to the interesting ones like sickle cell, thalassaemia, cystic fibrosis and so on. Even uninteresting ones like the observable differences in an Olympic 100m final, the 1500m final and the marathon. And how are we to explain the basics of skin and eye colour without biological differences?"
Priyamvada Gopal @PriyamvadaGopal: "If you believe in the existence biological racial differences, you are a racist. Hope that clears it up."
Readers added context: "While the term "race" is loaded in the literature, biological difference is not. To quote, "there are obvious physical differences between populations some are strongly inherited". E.g. black people definitionally have higher melanin production than white people."

Prof Ian Pace on X - "Priyamvada Gopal likes to present herself as a subaltern. I prefer to think of her as a diplomat’s daughter. Drowning in privilege."
Cosmopolitan Reactionary on X - "It’s hard to imagine, from a Bioleninist perspective, how attending an elite international school in Vienna wouldn’t have coloured Gopal’s politics and contributed to her intense hatred of the West. Presumably she was surrounded by lots of pretty blonde-haired, blue-eyed Christian girls who had no interest in or deference to the Brahmin status she had enjoyed back in India, and when that came to end she felt it viscerally. Naturally, such women gravitate towards “postcolonial studies”."
Variolation was the thing. Too late now. on X - "Demanding that the college porters call her "Doctor" does indicate that, yes. Spoiled little cow, used to extreme deference from lower labouring classes."

Dr. Insensitive Jerk on X - "Politics is Not "Makers versus Takers." It just seems like it is. The battle of Left vs. Right feels like the battle of Flea vs. Dog, but that's the wrong frame. IMO, the real distinction is not between parasite and host, but rather between two survival strategies: Living off the Earth vs. Living off people.
Those sound like the same thing, so let me phrase them better: Politics is not Makers vs. Takers; it is Producers vs. Influencers. It's not Dog vs. Flea; it's Dog vs. Flea whispering into the dog's ear. This framing is better because it explains our career choices; it predicts more outcomes; and it delivers actionable advice. For example, doctors have historically been mostly Republican, while medical ethicists are overwhelmingly Democrat. (I'm in a doctor family.) Doctors tend to be Republicans because they repair things. Conceptually, doctors are plumbers. They operate on physical objects in the physical world, subject to the discipline of impartial physical laws that cannot or should not be moved with your tongue, and sometimes they get sprayed with bodily fluids. Like plumbers, their performance can be measured objectively. (Did the patient die? How many turds on my kitchen floor?) By contrast, consider medical ethicists: They live entirely within the realm of words, and their performance cannot be measured. That's the kind of job that attracts Leftists. Medical schools are another example, and they show why Producer-vs-Influencer is a better frame than Host-vs-Parasite. (This will also be my first prediction, but it won't impress you because it's already coming true.) Unfortunately, while "Doctor" is a producer job, "Medical school administrator" is not. Every administrator made the conscious choice to control doctors rather than to become one. The administrator's job may be vital, but he doesn't make anything real, or even repair it. That's why, when doctors gratefully handed the tedious administrative tasks over to professional bureaucrats, our medical schools turned hard Left. Now medical students are compelled to pledge their loyalty to wokeness. This is actually true. As professional bureaucrats consolidate their control, squeezing the actual doctors out of medical-school administration, we should expect our future doctors to be more influencers, and less producers. That means you might die, but you won't mind because your young doctor will have a fabulous bedside manner. I predict this trend will continue until doctors re-shoulder the burden of medical school administration, under rules that ensure they remain doctors. To get that prediction from the Parasite-vs-Host framing, we must say that medical school administrators are parasites. Certainly some are, probably most of them, but the sad fact is medical schools need administrators as much as they need plumbers, to perform a vital yet distasteful function so the actual doctors won't have to. Ditto for hospitals, which used to be run by doctors, but are now mostly run by MBAs. Double ditto for medical journals, because "Journal editor" is a pure influence job. Thus the medical journals have all turned extreme Left, even though journal editors are not parasites. An actionable prediction: Any influence position will attract the Leftist-influencer personality type, and repel the producer type. So when you create, say, a medical review board with power to approve or deny drug trials, the people who volunteer to serve will mostly be Democrats.
If you don't like the medical example, let's talk about plumbers. A plumber produces something tangible, so most plumbers are Republicans. Unless his income depends on his union status. (About 25% of plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters have union jobs, according to Perplexity, which is usually wrong.) Unions are designed to insulate their members from reality, to allocate jobs and income by seniority or by pull, rather than by output. It's much harder to walk in off the street and get a union job; usually you must know someone. In other words, unions are less about production, and more about influence, so union plumbers will be more Democrat than free-range plumbers. And union administrators will be the most Democrat of all. Some jobs lie midway between producer and influencer. For example, a computer programmer is partly a producer, because he creates a product that must work. His code must execute without error and satisfy the project requirements. However, few programmers face the full test of reality, because their code need not reflect anything in the physical world. The physics in Grand Theft Auto need not be accurate; it only needs to please humans. Thus, coding is a mix of production and influence, so coders are a mix of Republicans, Libertarians, and Democrats. (This is actually true.) I predict the coders who write games are more Democrat than the guys who write CAD software, because CAD physics has to be right, not just look right. You can't get this prediction from the Parasite-vs-Host framing. The influencer personality recoils from the implacable tests of physical reality, so he will avoid producer jobs. By contrast, a producer might take an influence job, because he can satisfy his producing needs elsewhere. A Right-wing author will usually do something real in his spare time, like building his own deck or restoring classic cars. So a few Republicans might volunteer to serve on your Medical Review Board, out of a sense of duty. In a Leftist author's spare time, he will tour wineries. Of all the jobs on Earth, surely the two that are most devoted to pure influence are the politician and the critic. Even an author, who toils in the realm of words, must produce a book. A literary critic does not meet even that low bar. And of course, politics is influence personified, so we should expect most politicians to be the influencer personality type (I.e., Leftist) even if they pretend to be Republicans. So here is my actionable advice: To judge whether a Republican candidate is a RINO imposter, inquire into his hobbies. Ask him to show us a few things he made with his own hands. If he flies a homebuilt airplane, he's a good gamble."

Meme - "The Lesson of the Screw. To build something solid and stable, turn to the RIGHT; to dismantle something, turn to the LEFT."
This is a good response to the supposed Spanish saying about the left liberating and the right oppressing

It’s no wonder respect for the BBC has plummeted - "According to a survey by the think tank Demos, 15 years ago the BBC’s net “pride score” (the proportion of the public expressing pride in the BBC, minus those who did not) was an impressive +48 per cent. Now, reports Demos, that figure is -11 per cent, on a level with “politicians”. Ouch. When the BBC complains that fewer than 80 per cent of households pay the licence fee (actually, 76 per cent by my calculations), despite well over 90 per cent of the population having a legal obligation to do so, it should look closely at a survey like this and be less puzzled. There are parts of BBC output that remain impressive, but overall it is hard to compare it favourably with the peak years of public service broadcasting, in the 1980s and 1990s. The advent of satellite and cable, and more recently broadband streaming, has allowed viewers access to a huge amount of choice, including content enjoying far bigger budgets than the BBC can afford. Unable to compete financially for sports rights in the open market, the BBC is heavily reliant on events that are not allowed to be broadcast on subscription services (the World Cup, the Euros), plus Wimbledon, which is content to preserve its multi-decade relationship with the BBC. Compared with its glory days, these are slim pickings. But it is more than exposure to competition that has undermined the BBC. Its programming choices betray a taste for political correctness that alienates many viewers and listeners. Its online agenda is eclectic to the point of irrelevance. Its occasional editorial mistakes, such as doctoring Donald Trump’s Jan 6 speech, are in sharp contrast to its obligations to impartiality. Its deployment of anti-colonialist historians – such as David Olusoga – leaves it vulnerable to claims of Left-wing bias. These are all self-inflicted wounds. That said, the main reason for the BBC’s decline in public esteem is surely one beyond its control: its displacement as a dominant feature of the media landscape, as a result of technological change. With fewer and fewer people consuming its output, there is less opportunity to build any relationship, let alone pride, or even respect. Drama and comedy are a rarity in the BBC’s output these days, not primarily because of a dearth of talent, but simply because of cost. The BBC is top-heavy with a surfeit of well-paid managers, and thousands of support staff. With revenue effectively static (and declining sharply in real terms), the BBC finds itself relying on cheap elimination contests, reality shows, travelogues and daytime fillers to prop up its schedules. This thin diet would be more noticeable if ITV and Channel 4 had not deteriorated even more than the BBC."
Time to regulate social media, since misinformation is making British people lose trust in the BBC

‘Woke’ is now a dirty word among Democrats - "Socialism may no longer be a dirty word among Democrats, following a wave of hard-Left primary victories, but “woke” certainly is. Prominent progressive figures have distanced themselves from the politics of 2020, when defunding the police and “decolonising” Thanksgiving became articles of faith among the party’s grassroots. That shift could have a seismic effect on the race to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028, which is gradually taking shape. In particular, it could spell doom for Kamala Harris, still seen as one of the front-runners in the contest, whose flirtation with woke politics cost her dearly. The 2024 election was a “wake-up call” for the party, according to Lanae Erickson, senior vice-president of Third Way, the centrist Democratic group. Voters saw the party as more extreme than Donald Trump, she said, a “horrifying” result." Ms Harris admitted during her short-lived campaign that she was never fast on her feet, and was haunted throughout by her former support for policies that were beyond the pale for most voters. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, however, is naturally sure-footed, and managed a deft pivot when she appeared on ABC News on Aug 9. Asked about Francesca Hong, then the Democratic front-runner in the Wisconsin primary with a history of controversial comments, Ms Ocasio-Cortez neither endorsed nor disavowed her. Instead, she laughed it off, saying: “Woke 1 was crazy.” Ms Hong lost that primary, despite what some pollsters had predicted as a double-digit lead... Modern progressives are more ruthless, focused on winning elections while being selective about picking battles, and steering clear of the culture war. Zohran Mamdani is another who has managed to distance himself from his controversial comments... Still, the Left is not out of the woods either. There will still be radical elements who push progressive figures into more hardline stances, and it’s by no means clear what Ms Ocasio-Cortez or some ally will say about the issue of biological men in women’s sports. “AOC was smart to steer clear of Hong and her alienating positions, but many on the Left are still pushing candidates to embrace ideas that will actively repel the swing voters we need to win,” Ms Erickson said."

Giuseppe Conte, leading politician on Italian Left, rejects ‘woke’ ideology - "A leading politician on the Italian Left has rejected “woke” ideology, opening up fractures in the Left-wing alliance that hopes to beat Giorgia Meloni at the next election. The Left’s hopes of presenting a united front are at risk of being undermined by differences, with some politicians cleaving to issues such as LGBTQ rights and others insisting that “woke” agendas needed to be ditched. Giuseppe Conte, a former prime minister who leads the centre-Left Five Star Movement, argues that Italian voters were more preoccupied with low salaries, expensive petrol, hospital waiting lists and the rising cost of living... Mr Conte’s comments were endorsed by Matteo Renzi, another former prime minister, who leads a centre-Left party called Italia Viva. In an editorial on Sunday, he said that if the Left was to beat Ms Meloni’s Right-wing coalition at the next election, it must concentrate on “social issues, economic well-being and people’s daily lives, not woke culture”... Rocco Casalino, a former member of the Five Star Movement and a long-time confidant of Mr Conte, said it was a problem “when a struggle against discrimination becomes a ‘moral religion’, far removed from people’s day-to-day problems”. Mr Casalino, who is openly gay, said some “woke” policies had inadvertently damaged the LGBTQ community, adding: “I’m thinking of women’s sport. If you insist that a transgender person should be considered a biological woman, ignoring the principle of fairness, you give homophobes an excuse to attack the entire struggle for LGBTQ rights.” But not everyone on the Italian Left agrees with him. Ilaria Salis, an MEP, said “woke” culture was “a spectre created by the Right to undermine rights and social justice”... The conservative coalition led by Ms Meloni gleefully accused the Left of suddenly changing tack in the hope of winning votes. The Left “is doing what it did with communism – renouncing it after years of support, having ruined lives,” said Lucio Malan, a senator with the prime minister’s Brothers of Italy party. Ms Meloni touched on woke issues in a rare interview with the New York Times on Friday. In Italy, she is known in as the Presidente del Consiglio or head of the council of ministers. She defended her decision to refer to herself as “il presidente”, using the masculine form, rather than the feminine form “la presidenta”. Feminists have been fighting “the wrong battles”, she said, adding that what was important was the fact that she was able to become Italy’s first female prime minister. She added: “That’s equality, not being called ‘la presidenta’.”"

Simon Sebag Montefiore: Appeasing radical activists will make the West ungovernable - "Montefiore has taken immense care to depict highly charged events as neutrally as possible. “I’m not ideological. I’m not following either a Marxist imperialist or de-colonialist view of history,” he says. “Everyone has forgotten that the creation of Turkey and Israel happened against the will of Empire. Everyone says that it was the British who helped create Israel in 1948, but in fact Israel was an armed revolt against British imperial power… the history is essential for understanding what is happening now: if you want to understand why, for example, president Erdoğan of Turkey keeps talking about wanting to rule Jerusalem, Beirut and Damascus [formerly part of the Ottoman Empire], then it’s all here.” It’s telling that Montefiore feels the need to frame The Cauldron as a primer for the less-informed. Everyone has opinions on the conflict of Israel and Gaza, but many of us would be hard pressed to articulate the finer points of its torturous, millennia-old history. Subjective interpretations of the facts, let alone flat-out ignorance of them, is rampant in the febrile ideological climate that has sprung up with renewed toxicity in the wake of the Hamas attacks. “October 7 changed everything,” he says. “It was years in the planning that did what it was meant to do, which was to put the Palestinian issue at the centre of the world, unleash the ideology of anti-Zionism in Western universities, and nix the Saudis normalising agreements with Israel. The only thing it hasn’t succeeded in is helping the Palestinian people.” The speed and intensity of anti-Israel sentiment that has spread like wildfire through Britain took Montefiore “by surprise”. “There’s nowhere better to live now than Britain or America or France than at any other point in the last 10,000 years,” he says. “Yet that unprecedented comfort, liberalism and freedom have permitted the hothouse of exciting but intolerant radicalisms such as ‘de-colonialisation’, ‘anti-Americanism’, ‘anti-Westernism’, ‘Third-World-ism’ – whatever you want to call it – particularly in many cultural, academic and media institutions in this country.” He thinks that the liberal West has become guilty of ideological complacency. “In the book, I write about the extent to which Western comfort democracies have neglected these institutions and allowed them to manage themselves,” he says – he also means international organisations such as the United Nations and NGOs. “Much of the anti-Western thinking that has sprung up has been driven by a bourgeois graduate activist caste that dominate the NGOsphere and parts of the media, too. But these people specialise in intimidating the middle-aged people who run our main cultural institutions, and it’s essential that our institutions have the courage and principle not to bow to their purity tests and boycotts.” This is one function of democracy: to allow institutions to prosper free from political interference and to promote freedom of speech. “People absolutely have the freedom to preach the destruction of the liberal democracies that protect them,” he agrees. “I’m not in favour of banning or cancelling anybody unless they’re encouraging killing. But a lot of the people on the pro-Palestinian marches in this country, for example, were doing just that. I found myself encountering a few because the Israeli embassy is just around the corner. And while they were full of bien-pensant, white retired-teacher types, whose liberalism one probably couldn’t fault, they were also filled with extreme ideologues, who were backing Iran, and who were backing Hamas.” He thinks that Starmer, who became prime minister nine months after the marches first sprang up, appeased these demonstrations and their anti-Semitic rhetoric, which for months were a weekly feature of London life, partly out of a fear of offending members of Britain’s Muslim community. He fears something similar under Burnham who, days before we meet, apologised for Labour’s failure to immediately demand a ceasefire after Israel launched military action against Hamas (Burnham said that his party “didn’t get it right”). “To Andy, I would say: politicians need to think about the right response for Britain in the wider sense, and not just in the short-term sense of being terrified of losing constituencies,” he says. “The Muslim population greatly enhances this country, but it worries me how scared the Labour Party leadership is of the pro-Palestinian activists. It scares me that when MPs were harassed by [activists] during the election campaign, Labour don’t dare name them.” Has he experienced any abuse himself? “Of course. I’ve received death threats online. But you just have to get on with it.”... Montefiore has long been a champion of a Palestinian state. During the 1990s, he was good friends with the Israeli politicians Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres who, along with Yasser Arafat, won the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize for helping to bring about the 1993 Oslo Accords. “It’s still the only way ultimately to settle the aspirations of both nations and save them from a future of grinding conflict,” he says. On this issue, however, he thinks Starmer failed to project sufficient power on the world stage when it came to international efforts to bring about a ceasefire. “The recognition of a Palestinian state, for instance, was a [virtue-signalling] absurdity that achieved nothing,” he says. “Instead, it revealed Britain’s impotence in the Middle East and it rewarded a genocidal organisation that is much more nihilistic than humanitarian. And I say that as a champion of a [Palestine] that I’m desperate to see established.” By which he means a Palestinian state without Hamas. What, given the options on the table, might that Palestinian state look like? “Hamas must be dismantled, the Board of Peace plan [which involves an international Board of members overseeing the implementation of a peace agreement] is difficult but plausible, the Palestinian Authority provides a possible structure. But it will be very hard. That’s for sure.”... “If politicians continue to appease sectarian or ideological factions on important matters of life and death, on terrorism, on migration and on gender, then Western democracy will become ungovernable,” he adds. “Public discourse has already got more dangerous. You only need to look at the terrible killing of Ann Widdecombe, who personified the idiosyncratic but honest eccentricity that has always been an essential part of British public life.”"
