Morrissey’s fans are not happy about his Kevin Spacey comments by Luke O'Neill - Mic

Please re-read. I wrote 'consensual reality' to highlight it was a Herd Construct. I dismiss Morrissey as an incorrigible troll because he voices any opinion that will get him attention. There is no underlying logic or rationale to his views, just anything that will wind up 'consensual reality'. Given he wishes to sell consumer products and experiences to 'the masses' who constitute this 'consensual reality' it's really rather fun to watch him be given a good hiding. He has trolled 'consensual reality' since he appeared on the scene but with less and less wit, originality and grace as he has aged. He could have made a passionate defence of people accused of sexual assault without casually dismissing and denigrating the complainants. It was entirely possible to note the 'moral panic/folk devil/sex abuse hysteria' in the media without dissing individual complainants. He simply lacks the intellectual skill and moral decency to do so.
“ He could have made a passionate defence of people accused of sexual assault “
But he did!
Or wasn’t it passionate enough for you?
He just pointed out there is another side to it. Of course I can understand that victims feel bad about it but he was NOT talking about them. He made that very clear.

Is that what you really believe?The left are far far worse than the right. End of.
Wouldn't you say he has been consistent though? I don't see anything he say's as being out of the blue for example.
Hi Johnny
You know that is nonsense don't you?
Who are the left? The PLP, Momentum, Socialist Worker party etc? Me?
And those on the right are not Intolerant?
Johnny, you know I love you and do not want to trade insults here with you.
I'm sure we'd talk it through over a coffee and Danish (but not a Starbucks).
Hi Peter!
I’ve not seen you around for a long time. Good to see you back. I thought World Peace had finished you off.
The left I’m targeting in my comment are the professional offenderati. Here in the UK I would include, for example, the denizens of the Guardian’s Comment Is Free section, where every contrary opinion is an insult and an outrage.
In the US I think they would be better described as the SJW movement.
Here is a very fresh example:
I find the guy arguing on behalf of Stop Funding Hate a creepy chap with a specious argument. He rather reminds me of Michael Palin’s charming torturer in Brazil.
Others might well disagree. As is their right, of course.
He has been consistent in his inconsistency. If it's popular, Morrissey will verbally smear it. If it's unpopular, he'll praise it. And flip flop like a fish in between big attention grabbing statements much of the time.
Contrarian, troll, verbal shitposter, whatever he is- he seems to enjoy playing games with popular opinion. Always has. But he's at a point in history where he isn't alone in that game. Opinions are everywhere, and a dime a dozen from 99% of the world. However, the world is getting fed up with edgelord antics, and pushing back. I think the financial ramifications will occur to him far faster than anything else.
One of my biggest issues with Morrissey, is that at times, I don't believe that he believes the shit that is coming out of his mouth. I think he just thinks he's having a larf at the expense of others, and if they don't like it, oh well.I am all over the place with my opinions and beliefs too. At first, I actually thought I really don't fit anywhere, but it appears it's not just me lol My family think I am really strange! (waiting for the comments) Having a conversation with me usually leaves the person mentally exhausted with a bad taste in their mouth, so I tend not to mix with people, as much as I can Online is different.
Let me ask you this- if you were friends with him on social media, and he weren't famous, would you keep him on your list, or axe the malarkey?One of my biggest issues with Morrissey, is that at times, I don't believe that he believes the shit that is coming out of his mouth.

I mean if he were on social media, repeatedly posting iffy statements. I've deleted people for less.Let me ask you this- if you were friends with him on social media, and he weren't famous, would you keep him on your list, or axe the malarkey?
Do you mean after he would have said something controversial for example?
No I would still be talking with him. Likelihood is, I would most probably be in agreement lolI mean if he were on social media, repeatedly posting iffy statements. I've deleted people for less.
YikesNo I would still be talking with him. Likelihood is, I would most probably be in agreement lol
Please say you will still talk to me?Yikes
stop being so stupid and blind you can love morrissey as an artist but the man is a pig and you cant possibly agree with his comment if you are a good personCouldn't have said it better.....if u don' like Morrissey go back to your backstreet boys....there is no one with the catalog he has of songs.... who else sells out shows when no record contract....he refuses to be commercialized....i like that, u critics need to go back and get all the facts before u blah blah blah blah
Why have you quoted one half of a sentence to try and change the meaning? This is what I wrote:

He very clearly disputed the testimony of Weinstein and Spacey. He was most certainly talking about Anthony Rapp and disparaging his parents as being to blame.
Given your inability to quote my posts correctly or to remember the content of the interview in Der Spiegel I am terminating this exchange.
Goodbye.
Thanks for that. See, already I don't particularly disagree with you.
I quite liked some the last album. What do you think of the new one? (off topic but who cares).
