Rayvin 4964 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Oh dear... Â http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/justice-democrats-ousts-cenk-uygur_us_5a3eb4d1e4b025f99e178181 Â Cenk Uygur has been taken down by the SJWs... and the progressive movement within the Democratic Party may die with his resignation. So he apparently wrote some sexist stuff 18 years ago, has formally and fully apologised for it, but they've taken him out back and shot him anyway. Â I'm not a big fan of Cenk, but he runs a YouTube news channel that has 3.5m subscribers and exclusively promotes SJW views (albeit with a degree of rationality). Moral purity test failed though...

Gemmill 34464 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 It's mental. I was posting about Jessica Chastain's insane wabs yesterday, and yet I'd still be the best PM of CT's lifetime given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The thing that gets me is that his apology was actually really good. He held his hands up, said he had changed hugely - and I think you can see that. He's dedicated his life to running that news channel to support progressive causes. Â But they've turned on him anyway because once you've made a mistake, you are forever guilty, it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30414 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Amazing to think none of them would hold up against their own standards. Although that's probably not that amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I don't think anybody can hold up to their standards. It really is like religious people 100 years ago. Posturing for morality points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Â Jordan Peterson interviewed by Channel 4. It's half an hour long but he does a great job of combatting the more problematic elements of current left wing thinking. He's getting this attention because he's just released his book, but clearly he's moving from YouTube fame to the mainstream now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3205 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 He is sort of right about the gender pay gap not existing. It exists in high paid executive roles and in the lower paid sector. However in IT where I work the gender pay gap is virtually non existant. Unfortunately there is a huge gender employment gap with women in IT being vastly outnumbered by men. I would say this is due to poor guidance within schools with IT and computer science being seen as a boys subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34464 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The way they measure it is so disingenuous. Basically taking the average salary at a business for men and women and comparing it, then just saying "it's because women are over represented in low paying jobs".  Well aye. That's how you explain it if you calculate it like an arsehole. The work is in looking at it on a role by role basis, but if you did it that way you'd actually have to start handing out payrises. So they hide behind this bullshit, shareholders still get their dividends, CEOs still get their bonuses, and the world keeps on turning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
