former dissensus commenter and one time fisher-esque lacanian blogger josef k is now an alt-right provocateur

Yeah I sort of gathered that but I got the impression there was some incident that marked him out as such and that everyone except me knew about it

The ld50 thing was his 15 minutes of fame. Lewis has published him.

 

[vimothy]

not really. he came on here a couple of times and was moderately combative / unapologetic

 

[IdleRich]

What's Ld50? How does Lewis know him?

 

[Mr. Tea]

I thought the pivotal event was his one-man counter-protest against the protest against the edgy fashy exhibition in LD50. But maybe there were others.

Edit: lol, 2 slo.

 

[IdleRich]

So tell me about that

Lethal dose (LD50) is the amount of an ingested substance that kills 50 percent of a test sample. It is expressed in mg/kg, or milligrams of substance per kilogram of body weight. Common name. Toxin. Lethal doses.

I can understand why he was against it

 

[vimothy]

where it all started to go wrong ^^

This is his account. I think it's fairly funny. I like the bit about Nina covering the apple logo on her ipad up. I don't think there should be a law against skewering these people especially. Not that I think he was brave or principled or whatever.

 

[IdleRich]

So there was an anti-fascist march and he staged a one-man counter protest saying that "I don't agree with what they're saying but yadda yadda yadda"?

 

[IdleRich]

Thank you Luka

He's written all sorts of other wind up stuff about eg the sacrality of donald trump etc. All very well but if you go out your way to wind people up you have to be prepared for them being wound up.
For her part Nina has been getting grief from the transsexual crew. Not getting down with the program apparently, so they're both currently pariahs in certain quarters.

Vim is keen on the intolerant face of liberalism etc so you can see why this all has him licking his lips

 

[vimothy]

well indeed, I think this makes sense in terms of my analysis - it's kind of obvious, so why would I not be interested in it

 

[luka]

I'm not explaining it to you. You already know why you're interested/gleeful.

 

[vimothy]

as for josef "winding ppl up", the signal fact is how little it takes to count as provocation - not only is it impossible to communicate across partisan lines, but anyone claiming otherwise is instantly drawn by the escalatory logic of situation into one camp or another

 

[luka]

Im helping out rich and also explaining things to the people.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I like the bit about Nina covering the apple logo on her ipad up.

I remember reading that at the time and thinking it was the most risible act of 'resistance' I'd ever heard of. Like, you go girl! That'll show 'em!
