Apparently this needs to be freaking said, bloody fecking hell. Said, again, that is. Subir already done fucking told some of y’all but in that instance he chose to be far more polite than perhaps he should have been.
So I’ll say it again: Louise Mensch is not your fucking friend, lefties, and those of you breathlessly reporting her tweets here on GOS are fucking gullible as shit.
Do we need a brief primer on her? Okay!
She was born, somewhat privileged, in Westminster. She went to some pretty nice schools. When she became an adult she wrote a few novels in a genre called chick lit. People knock her for this. I don’t. She’s really pretty good at writing fiction. Ooops, did I throw some shade there? Sorry, that was bitchy of me. Seriously though, she’s a good writer of fiction.
She became a Tory, ran, won, and was a rising star in a party which will likely have a near-permanent majority for some years to come after June.
She came to fame during the phone hacking scandal. And once the fame began and she got to be in the center of attention, began lying about people tied up in that scandal. She had to apologize to Piers freaking Morgan, a man who literally is a walking cum-fart, for lying about the contents of his book (lil tip. READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU START LYING TO PEOPLE.)
Then she quit Parliament after that business was done. She started a social media network because “Twitter is too mean” (she’s not wrong and it bombed). She freelanced for a libertarian magazine (I won’t even link to her “debate” with Vox Day, a Nazi who has plagued the science fiction and fantasy world with his word-herpes and Nazism for years now.) She lives in NYC. Oh and she has some kind of working relationship with Newscorp, better known as the parent company that runs Fox fucking News. I mean fuck.
And she loves conspiracy theories. Let’s count them:
- the unrest in Fergerson was the Russians (nope)
- Anthony Weiner really isn’t a problematic man-skank who will flash his dick at anyone with breasts and a vulva regardless of their age, but was set up by Russians (nope—he’s a, in the parlance of the kids today, fraking thot. )
- ProPublica is run by Bannon who is of course a Putin robot (what the pluperfect fuck)
- Andrew Breitbart was murdered by Putin (nope)
- people who disagree with her are Russian spies (nope)
- she was wrong about the FISA warrants (yes)
- Malcolm Nance didn’t write his own book (he did)
- Putin is responsible for the shooting at Westminister back in March (nope)
and on and on and on and on and on.
She also dislikes feminists. She sent her attack monkeys after everyone who said even anything in opposition to Tim Hunt (and she joined in), she wanted all social media shut down by the government during the UK Riots in 2011 (has she blamed them on Russia yet?) and I can keep going but this is long enough. I’m almost surprised she hasn’t decided Brexit (which, incidentally, she supports), is a phat ass Russian plot (which it just might be! Oh noes! Putin!)
Some of y’all need to be a little more fucking discerning.
And further more, you know what else? The breathless “up-to-the-minute” style reporting from shitty sources like Mensch isn’t helping either especially with the demands to “resist” like what the fuck do you think I’m doing already? Resist HOW? the fuck?
Thanks, “politics-is-my-sportsball” crowd, I’m glad you’re entertained and you’ve got the popcorn handy but----this is real life. We do live in a hecking bloody reality, ya prats. You are not the French Resistance or however you’ve cast yourself in your wack little head-movies and frankly One thing I am doing? Tuning you people out for my own goddamn sanity and I am NOT alone in this. I am no longer following the Russia investigation story on a day to day basis. You people did that, because you can’t discern what’s real and what’s not and worse yet, you don’t bloody ask.
The New Republic (I’m sure she’ll cast “even the liberal New Republic” as an agent of Putin sooner or later) had something to say about Louise Mensch. Especially this part:
1. Is that person a reporter for a legitimate news outlet?
2. If this person tweets a claim attributed to an anonymous source, do they follow that claim up with any reporting?
3. Does this person have credentials relevant to the subject matter they’re discussing?
4. Are this person’s claims drastically out of step with what’s currently being reported?
5. Why would a high-level official leak to this specific person?
6. Am I only tweeting this because it makes me feel good?
Yeah, do these things.
Or, you can get laughed at by everyone who thinks lefties are gullible idiotic sheep (we allegedly are not!) Your choice.
