You know that word is banned. Please refrain from using it.

i don't know what you are talking about.

The c-word is banned on the forum.

[whore]

the "c-word"... i assume you mean "****". so, let's think about this for a minute...

if i'm trying to give an explanation of some of the sorts of things in the vagina monologues, i'm not allowed to mention the monologue titled "reclaiming ****"? if i want to discuss inga muscio, i'm not allowed to mention her famous book, ****: a declaration of independence? i'm not allowed to discussed greers article "lady, love your ****"?

or, am i just be facetious?

i can certainly understand you objecting if i used the word in an insulting manner, but to simply censor it otherwise is crazy. certain words are offensive in certain contexts. **** is one of them. however, it is obvious that all words can be used, to a certain degreeat least, objectively.

perhaps to discuss the word itself...

regardless, i am not going to say i'm sorry if i offended anyone.

So we have lost Random Precision, BobK, and Holden in like what, 3 days? Most of the other good posters who haven't been banned have stopped posting much. With all the drama and conflict that has flared up for the last month as well as the stead decline of interesting conversation material (though could just be me as I have been here a while and most discussions are repeats at this point), revleft seems to be a hallow shell of what it was when I joined. So I am left wondering, have the admins received what they expected?

Well official he left now. He said he might come back a month or so ago. Still my point was that all this shit has lead some of our best members get fed up and leave or get banned. And considering that the point of closing the CC was to try to stop the relatively minor drama and try to improve the forum, it going to crap I am sure isn't what the admins had in mind when they decided that the CC had to be closed.

I think the standard response is that it's basically fine. Like, go on, you're shit, we don't need you. Political criticism = provocation, personal criticism = bullying, and both are banned. So it's understandable why quite a few good posters have stopped going on here.

Revleft has turned from a political discussion site into a happy multi-tendency social networking site. That's not surprising, when all but 2-4 admins are politically inactive, and only use Revleft as social networking to fulfil a role that their real lives seem to lack. Most admins are adults, over 25 years old, who seem to attach too much attention to holding sway over a forum full of teenagers. :-/

(is this "bullying" or "provocation"? I'm not sure yet; can it be both?)

Anyways, it feels sort of nice to send a teacher a link to Marxists.org

My teacher was talking about communistic societies that existed in the earlier stages of human development, so i recommended Mutual Aid to her. :D

and the best part: she is extremely sympathetic to socialism, and infact labels herself as a conflict theorist (its sociology class) and is HIGHLY critical of capitalism.

I haven't had much motivation to post in the political sections anymore, part of what I liked was the sense of community when participating in such political debates, which I feel is completely gone now. When I requested a suspension I was hoping the board had only temporarily gone shitty. Sadly not, it's just got shittier.

nah, i was to bussy wrestling his giant bodybuilder gangsta friend outside.
by the time i had time for him again they where running because they saw the police comming. they got nicked though, wich on one hand was good because these where the kinda guys who could come back shooting later (being arrested means being ID'd and that means that they know that if anything happens at my work they are first on the suspect list), on the other hand it sucked bigtime because i was the only one punched i had to press charges wich is not my favorite part of the job.

Even stories about meatheads with swords have social contexts.

True, but I feel that that's a particularly hard one to get meat out of, especially if you're going by the literature alone. If you go into the historical context of the work you could probably get some good material, but the work itself reminded me of the ancient literary equivalent of a Michael Bay movie.

But it's been a while since I've read it.

It can get more ridiculous. I wrote a Marxist class analysis of "Wind in the Willows" for my Children's Literature paper once.


“Simply Messing About in Boats”: Implications of Class Struggle and Social Exclusion in The Wind and the Willows


A remark that seems to be often made about the Wind in the Willows is that the central characters in the book, Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad, occupy a very paradoxical space. They possess all the benefits of adulthood, but can still enjoy the idyllic carelessness of childhood. “like adults, they look after themselves; like children, they don’t hold jobs, and they take the world’s comforts for granted” (Moore 47). However, I think there is a third, more sinister element that explains the little work they do and which underlies a lot of the action in this usually perceived “serene” and “peaceful” book. The main characters are members of the privileged bourgeois class in the idyllic, countryside world of Wind in the Willows. As Fred Inglis observed, they seem to “do no work, but… rule the river quite naturally” (Hunt 161). The rabbits, hedgehogs, stoats and weasels appear to be the animals that make up the proletariat. This association of animals with particular classes, presents the heavily stratified proletariat/bourgeoisie British class system of the time as not being a product of industrial capitalism, as the particular conditions of a certain time and place, but instead chooses to solidify it as part of the “natural order”.

While some critics have praised the book as being a “satire” of the British class system, with the “aristocratic” Toad “pretentiousness and foolishness” as “a ripe subject for Grahame’s humour” (eNotes), these critics do not account for the middle-class chauvinism displayed towards the proletariat in the text, or how Toad’s oafishness is presented as being unbecoming of his pseudo-aristocratic status (in reality he is more “Nouveau Riche”). As Moore pointed out, “Toad’s irresponsibility betrays weakness that is open to attack. He presents a flabby and decadent appearance to the lower orders” (56). As Boone observes, Toad’s obsession with motorcars is “ a common turn-of-the-century critique of the landed gentry for having given up its traditional authority – the governance of England, particularly rural England”. Toads “failure” is the cause for the vast majority of the social instability in the book, as Boone continues, in the Wind in the Willows “the result of the landed gentry’s abandonment is … uprisings on the part of the working classes whom the gentry no longer control” (90). When Toad is first sentenced for stealing a motorcar and he is brought out of the courthouse, a very interesting passage describes the scene:

“Then the brutal minions of the law fell upon the hapless Toad; loaded him with chains, and dragged him from the Court House … across the market-place, where the playful populace, always as severe upon detected crime as they are sympathetic an helpful when one is merely ‘wanted’, assailed him with jeers, carrots, and popular catch-words; past hooting school children, their innocent faces lit up with the pleasure they ever derive from the sight of a gentleman in difficulties” (109)
This is an interesting passage because it is loaded with implications. The “playful populace” is quite clearly the working class, and the first bolded extract is one of the many manifestations of chauvinistic generalizations of the working class in the book. The second bolded extract displays the nonchalant and sympathetic attitude given towards the rich Toad’s rather concerning crimes in the book, in contrast to the stern and serious attitude displayed towards anything that is seen as the working class enjoying themselves at the expense of the higher classes, whether it’s a crime, such as occupying Toad Hall, or if it’s simply workers engaging in the spectacle of a rich landowner getting a sentence they believe he rightfully deserves. As Boone points out, the “discomfort of Toad’s appearance before the hooting crowd has everything to do with the fact that, instead of the upper classes observing the working classes, the latter derive ‘pleasure … from the sight of a gentleman’ who momentarily possesses less power than they do” (91).

These blatant generalizations are in contrast to the highly individualized nature of the main characters. None of the rabbits, stouts, hedgehogs or weasels are ever given names. It is also interesting to note that the Water Rat, Toad, Badger and Mole are the only members of their species present in the novel.1 This individualization is in contrast to the proletarian animals that are portrayed as one big homogenous mass, with largely similar characteristics and traits. A passage that demonstrates these processes of individualization quite well is when the Wild Wood are first introduced:

“‘That? O, that’s just the Wild Wood,’ said the Rat shortly. ‘We don’t go there very much, we river-bankers.’
‘Aren’t they – aren’t they very [I]nice people in there?’ said the Mole, a trifle nervously.
‘W-e-ll,’ replied the Rat. ‘let me see. The squirrels are all right. And the rabbits – some of ‘em, but rabbits are a mixed lot. And then there’s Badger, of course. He lives right in the heart of it; wouldn’t live anywhere else, either, if you paid him to do it. Dear old Badger! Nobody interferes with him. They’d better not,’ he added significantly.
Why exactly would the residents of the Wild Wood bother Badger? And why is Badger such an authoritative figure? This passage is also interesting in that it shows a territorialisation of classes under capitalism, in which working class areas are ghettoized and dismissed by the higher classes as being dangerous areas overrun with crime and sinister characters. We saw it in Victorian and Edwardian times, such as the East End of London, and we still see it today in our own New Zealand society, with demagogues such as Michael Laws dismissing South Auckland as the “Manukau badlands”. (Stuff.co.nz) This view is confirmed as the passage continues, when Mole asks Ratty to clarify exactly why they’d interfere with Badger:

‘Why, who should interfere with him?’ asked the Mole.
‘Well, of course – there – are others,’ explained the Rat in a hesitating sort of way. ‘Weasels – and stoats – and foxes – and so on. They’re all right in a way – I’m very good friends with them – pass the time of day when we meet, and all that – but they break out sometimes, there’s no denying it, and then – well, you can’t really trust them, and that’s the fact’” (16)
It thus becomes more clear what exactly Ratty meant. As Moore commented on this passage, “Grahame’s Arcadia is thus starting to look more like a country club and his pastoral river bank more like the suburbs”. (55) The residents of the Wild Wood shouldn’t bother Badger because he’s associated with the middle-class of the countryside, personified by Mole, Ratty and Otter. What are they “breaking out” from? They are “breaking out” from their lower social status.

The more individualized working class characters in the book are all human, however they are never referred to by their actual names, but rather by their occupation or social status, such as the “barge woman”, “gaoler’s daughter”, “the gipsy”, “the washer woman”, etc and they are all observed through the rose-tinted point of view of the higher class main characters, as the usefulness in all of them to the story at large is what they can provide for the main characters, rather than having any aspirations of their own. John Hunt, in an article analysing the intersection of language and class in the Wind in the Willows, notes on how the washerwoman who gives Toad her clothes so he can escape “appears … only by report:

‘The only stipulation the old lady made being that she should be gagged and bound and dumped down in a corner. By this not very convincing artifice, she explained, aided by picturesque fiction which she could supply herself, she hoped to retain her situation, in spite of the suspicious appearance of things’ (131)
The late-Victorian ornateness [sic] of this example of ‘indirect tagged speech’ indicates a high degree of authorial control and distancing: the old lady’s speech is filtered through the authors watchful presence”. (164) I would also wonder, what exactly motivates the washerwoman to help Toad escape? A lot the subservient behaviour of the working class characters in this book is actually quite illogical, such as when Toad Hall is retaken. It is logical when, in the confusion of battle, the “panic-stricken” weasels to think the hall was “full of monstrous animals, grey, black, brown, and yellow”. (204) But once they’ve retreated, even after they’ve presumably realized it was only four people who took back the house, whom they could easily overpower, they’ve returned completely to their subservient positions. One of the weasels begs for forgiveness and places the blame on the rabble-rousing “Chief Weasel”, and is then employed by the main characters to give out invitation cards for their victory banquet. There is no trace of their previous class consciousness, it has apparently completely disappeared from their memories. Thus, as Boone observes “the final paragraph of the novel posits a return to the normative class relations, in which the ‘underground’ denizens of the Wild Wood apparently lose none of their physical prowess but are subdued by and accept their subordination to their middle-class River Bank neighbours, who go on observational excursions among the homes of the weasels”. (Boone 91)

The illogical behaviours of the Wild Wood residents, shows clearly that the Wind in the Willows is thus a middle-class fantasy. In which not only class divisions get solidified as being part of a “natural order”, but also in which any uprisings of the lower classes, which with all the organized labour and socialist movements of the time were perceived by middle-class England as serious threats, are very brief and discontinuous, and can be suppressed with incredibly simple methods and then everyone returns back to their natural (although in reality largely psychological) “place” in the class system. Social exclusion and suppression is a key feature of the story in The Wind in the Willows.

Now, this being New York, five dollars ain't gonna buy you shit as far as cigarettes are concerned. I asked the guy who worked there what I could get for five dollars, and he said "Well, there's Pall Mall..." The cigarette box even came with a free lighter, so I was stoked. Little did I know...:(

I ended up only smoking a few of them and gave the rest of the pack away.

And it seems that a lot of the "serious" political arguments on the main board are just regurgitated talking points from the various partisans (although I suppose that I'm guilty of that occassionally, as well).
Yeah, same for me. I don't know, but I been here for almost a year now and all the discussions are ones I've heard a million times. I have just been lurking around the culture forums and chit chat as of late.

I do not think the awesomeness of a Belgian cop car with a polish licence plate is being appreciated enough.
that's nothing. i once saw a french vehicle with one polish number plate, and a (i think) dutch (or maybe german) number plate.

the number was the same for each as well.

(anecdote may not be 100% accurate, but the general idea is correct)

Lemme guess, it was in fact a british one?
Yellow and White?

I like hamburgers.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Same here. I don't know how vegans stand it. :drool:

[Nolan]

They must be insane. I know my vegan ex is.

I feel the same way. I think I have pretty solid politics but I just don't really give a fuck about debating atm.

Well, to put it bluntly, no one, not 4chan, nor any of us here *actually* know the full details of what happened, and most people seem to be jumping to a bunch of silly conclusions based on very little evidence.

I only posted it to undermine some of those presumptions. Balance, says I.

Damn, you beat my anecdote.

Just wanted to post here and say "this". I'd say this hits the nail on the head when it comes to most political discussions here, unfortunately. There is very much a tendency to just approach every issue with the same easy catchphrases, arrogant dismissals, etc.

Both what the white guy say and the black girl says seems to contradict what I see in the video

I don't think that the job interview went so well. I was really nervous.

what kind of questions did they ask? im off to a job fair in a bit.

[Os Cangaceiros]

The usual job interview type questions: what do you think you can personally bring to [insert business here], have you ever been criticized by a supervisor on the job & how did you respond to that criticism, what do you think your strengths and weaknesses are, when are you available to work, etc.

[Rusty Shackleford]

thanks.

EDIT: just got back and the interview did not go too bad. i said um and stuff a bit too much but shit happens.
