This is a pdf sheet of address label-sized stickers (Avery 8660). Half of them say "Most men secretly hate women, and most women secretly think they deserve it" and the other half say "Most women secretly hate men, and most men secretly think they deserve it."
Print these out, and put them up all over the goddamn place. Then report back with stories of how being exposed to this idea has caused men to devolve into women-haters.
You're an asshole.
You're a moron.

Cainad, unless you make stickering your full-time job, statistical fluctuation will make any effect meaningless. This would only make sense if it's a VERY CONCENTRATED effort of several people over a limited area and a long span of time (say, a year or five), and I don't think anyone here hates fictionpuss quite that bad.If you work in a cake factory, and piss herpes into the cake mix, can you measure the over the statistical fluctuation? No.
Umm, I mean, DO EEEET!!! FOR SCIENCE!!!!
Spreading bad ideas is a bad idea.

Way to miss the point. Cainad suggested doing science on this. I pointed out a methodological problem with that. End of story.I think it's relevant - until such time as models exist which can accurately predict the impact of meme - everything is shades of hypothetical opinion. Maybe the moon is made out of cheese, and maybe reading this will make you kick your granny. The probability of either of those events being true seems so low that it's not really interesting to talk about.
Also, this memebomb will do more good than bad, if it does anything at all,
and you have a very very strange world-view.I know :-/

So according to fictionpuss, spreading ideas about Nazism is bad....even if this is in history textbooks telling us how terrible Nazism is.

BRB, gotta go make a lampshade out of a Jew.
Hey, what the--- MEMES!
:argh!:
So according to fictionpuss, spreading ideas about Nazism is bad....even if this is in history textbooks telling us how terrible Nazism is.Actually, I don't believe anything close to that. Although it would certainly be funnier if I did. So I'll leave it at then then.

Goodbye, cruel thread!
Not sure if its the same guy, but I know a student at Nottingham is getting deported to Algeria. He was, like me, studying terrorism, and, like everyone who studies terrorism, read the 1996 Al-Qaeda manual, hosted on the US Department of Justice's website. Unlike everyone else who studies terrorism, he was then accused of accessing "terrorist material", thrown in a cell for several weeks, and is now being forced to leave the country.
Because god forbid we have an expert on terrorism who is a Muslim. He might prove the clash of the civilizations and the naive idea that Islam is uniquely violent as a crock of shit.

So you don't believe Nazism is a bad idea, then?

Isn't that entrapment?
My brother-in-law direct from Afghanistan-by-way-of-Pakistan now wants to go to UC Santa Barbara to study poli sci IR...times could get interesting for that little fuck soon enough.

Could be. Usually though, terrorism tends to be its own department, or at least only loosely associated with IR, since there is very little real theoretical crossover between it and IR theory. If they study criminology or deviant psychology there, it might easily come under those fields instead.
piss herpes into the cake mix
I realize I'm probably the only one who feels this way, but god damn this thread makes me giggle. Yes, I know it's lame to laugh at your own thread when it went exactly the way you expected it to.You're not alone ;-)
Ideas are not actions.
I really hope I don't have to clarify this any further.

What if the people exposed, are already misogynists? Does the idea reinforce their position?
Or make them more likely to examine their barely suppressed, but ultimately impotent need for sexual validation, from their recently deceased Mothers?

Is that a reason/excuse to go ahead and do it anyway because of your inability to measure the results of your actions? No.

Man, I haven't been that big of an ass to anyone just to make my point in ages. :lulz:

I disagree. One of the oddest parts of the success of the civil rights movement was the TV show All in the Family, the central character of which was an apologist bigot. He was made to look stupid, just by voicing the opinions of apologist-type bigots everywhere. It made being a bigot look silly. It worked.
For a half-hour a night, Monday through Friday, that show broadcast bad ideas.
And it moved race relations forward by about 20 years.
I think that's different because you're not spreading a bad idea if you're mocking it. If you want to use that analogy, the stickers were the equivalent of throwing racist propaganda into the world, just to see what sticks.
You're an asshole.
And you're a moron who likes the sound of his own thinking too much.
Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.
Any chance you have the link to what CU said to start all this?
I could use a few more yuks.
Although, I could just read the e-Democracy thread again.
