@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: (6/13) Apart from the obvious double standards, it is clearly absurd for someone to say they know what happened to hundreds or even thousands of people they have no connection to.

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: In a preposterous and highly offensive remark, Professor Kehinde Andrews recently claimed that the British Empire was worse than the Third Reich.
He also made a further fool of himself (see photo below).
@kehinde_andrews #woke #wokeness #PoliticalCorrectness #academics [URL redacted]
"His actual words were:
The British Empire was far worse than the Nazis. They lasted longer and killed many more people.
The trouble for this 'professor' is that, grammatically speaking, 'they' (being plural) has to refer to a plural noun and the only one in the first sentence is 'Nazis', So, what he actually said, as opposed to what he meant to say, was that the Nazis killed 'many more people' (than those killed during the course of the Empire). And I'd agree with that.
If a white professor had made this wild claim against a non-white country, the politically correct hate-mob on Twitter, and other woke warriors, would probably have denounced it as racist.
Stirring up hate & making basic mistakes in English. Not doing too well, 'Professor'."

Addendum this argument functions as a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman through skirting the central claim of the argument (about the realities of The British Empire) and instead seeking to criticise the grammatical correctness of Andrews' point. The mention of 'professor' in the response is logically an attack on Andrews' status (as a senior, university academic i.e. #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated) or perhaps more generally an attack on the status of #EDUUKBirminghamCityUniversityBCU where he is Professor of #LiteralFieldBlackStudies) or perhaps in a more coded way, through being #BehaviourCondescending i.e. seeking to diminish him as covert #OtheringDiscriminationRacism. Regardless, it's difficult to get past the fact the comment reads like simple #CharacterisationPedantry

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: (2/3) It's alright to compare a merely-forthright right-wing politician like Nigel Farage to the fascist Oswald Mosley;
But it's "hateful conduct" to mock footballers for glorifying the killing of a black man in America.

Addendum #NewspaperUKTabloidTheDailyMail cartoon presumably represents the ideological interests of the poster for them to find it interesting enough to share. It's worth noting, that this is a photo of the print and not digital version, which is being shared.

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: If the likes of @NHSEngland, @LBRUT, @stonewalluk & all the other #woke fanatics don't stop offending the majority, by banning inoffensive words like "mother" and "woman", and other nonsense, this is what it could lead to.
And they will think they're blameless. #wokeness #gender [URL redacted]

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: (2/5) On 16th July, the “Daily Mail” reported that Gary Garrels, the “senior curator” of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, has resigned in what we might politely call bizarre circumstances.

Addendum Presumably a libertarian perspective? What the comments fails to recognise is that all perspectives are engendered (produced by and infused through culture) i.e. there isn't such a thing as a neutral perspective. So in actual fact, all meaning represents a choice - or *censorship* to use the poster's terminology. Choosing to not censor is as political as choosing to do so (because neither are any more neutral).

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: (1/4) Writing in the "Daily Express" on 10th April, Macer Hall pointed out that, according to an analysis by OnBuy, politicians regarded as right-wing suffer the most abuse from Twitter users.
I certainly see this all the time.

"PRITI Patel is the UK politician who suffers most abuse on Twitter, according to an analysis by the website OnBuy. She was closely followed by Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, researchers discovered. The findings say a lot about which side of the political divide the most online poison comes from" https://www.yumpu.com/news/en/issue/92109-daily-express-2021-04-10 (p.39).

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: This #joke reminds me of one from about the turn of the millennium: the difference between God and Tony Blair is that God doesn't think he's Tony Blair!
Come to think of it, both Blair & #GaryLineker are achingly #woke, so maybe these jokes belong together.

@ChristinHalbrooks [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [17]: (1/8) The Rhodes Must Fall group is a good example of the folly of giving priority to politics over education at university (no, I won’t use the ugly – and unnecessary – word of the moment “prioritise”!)
