David Baddiel to tell us about online abuse

Judged solely on our comedy output, Australia is in no way a legitimate country

Re: If This Is A Man

The bleak reality is that the stultification of landmark works from the twentieth century by scribbling hacks like Baddiel increases the profile of these books in our fast-moving age of vapourous, vacuous culture where blah blah fucking blah...

Artifical Intelligence is here and it looks like this:

We're only as intelligent as the culture that surrounds us allows us to be. A few may choose to believe that the ubiquity of certain News Corp. grifters being allowed to flourish within the mainstream publishing industry highlights the cynicism prolonging our cultural stagnation, and that a population rolling around with their mouths stitched to their own arses, endlessly reaffirming the values of the status quo, is a symptom of some sort of psychosocial decline. It's certainly a stark visual. Who can say...?

[idunnosomename]

Can you imagine what hes going to say? Genuinely he's incapable of talking about anything other than how he (David Baddiel) has been hounded on social media by vile Corbynites because they dont think being mean to a Jew is racism

Not really appropriate to BEING IN AUSCHWITZ

[FalknerHinton]

He's going to call having to see the Jason Lee picture in the replies to every tweet he makes his "own, personal Auschwitz".

Someone to air his shame, attributing blame.

Baddiel sets the hounds on someone for using the phrase "keep shtum", and therefore being anti-semitic. Of course, the recipient of Baddiel's ire is Jewish.

I feel like the hypocrisy of prominent (usually centre-right) Jewish people calling other Jewish people antisemitic has been pointed out so many times that it's just part of the fabric now.  If you're not Baddiel, you don't get to have your own experience, faith or cultural upbringing.  Because you weren't on TV on the nineties I guess.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Oh cool the guy who blacked up on telly is policing people on 'appropriating' entirely common loan-words.

[idunnosomename]

He needs to get a new schtick

[Video Game Fan 2000]

the well-to-do really talk about authenticity amongst themselves all the time dont they

[holyzombiejesus]

Maybe his next book should be called 'Gays and Migrant Workers Don't Count'.

[king_tubby]

Maybe his next book should be called 'Gays and Migrant Workers Don't Count'.

Quick google on Qatari attitudes to Judaism seems, um, problematic.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

do you think he had his draft forward to If This Is A Man open on his laptop as he was on the phone to his management to arrange to get his qatar money

next he has a draft article about The Authoritarian Personality open as he rats out a builder to their boss for drinking tea on the clock wait thats actually kind of harmless and cuddly by comparison

[Maurice Yeatman]

Baddiel's next book (for adults) is going to be about God, in case you need yet another famous atheist's perspective on that urgent issue.

maybe he's decided to rewrite his history of antisemitism as a whodunnit, but you have to be as good as columbo if you give away the culprit in title like that

[Dr Rock]

I this antisemitic?:

I condemn in the strongest terms the following countries, by which I mean the governments of those countries, for various war crimes, illegal and immoral invasions within the last 20 years, or systematic oppression based on gender, ethnicity or sexual preference.

The USA
Great Britain
Saudi Arabia
Qatar
Israel
probly some more

"My zissele is a big fan of yours."

The Baddiel book's title is The God Desire, apparently, and he's said it's about how even atheists crave God. "I wish there was a God. I'm desperate for that comfort. I'm desperate because at heart I'm a wailing load of need, like all human beings. I am a baby at heart. We're all that at heart. We're all helpless children. And I know that some atheists would deny that, but that's just macho posturing."
And the words which David hath spoken are heard, but Ricky heard them not.

[Famous Mortimer]

Ah, a book about the projection fallacy.

[imitationleather]

Love how he's now the voice of atheists like me too, as well as all Jews.

[imitationleather]

Baddiel just said I'm not an atheist because I don't disbelieve in God in the right way. He said I am, in fact, a staunch Catholic.

[mrpupkin]

"I'm a wailing load of need"? Dismal writing.

[badaids]

Someone on here learned me the word solipsism last week.

I'm grateful because it's allowed me to label and put my finger the thing I find really unpleasant and bugged me about a few people, not least Baddiel.

[Johnny Yesno]

We all microwave our glasses. And I know that some atheists would deny that, but that's just macho posturing.

[imitationleather]

Baddiel took one look at me and said, "With your pale skin and Irish teeth you could never disbelieve in God like I do" and that was that. "You go to church every Sunday and think there's a man in the sky who will look after you when you're dead, which is ridiculous, scientists have proved this," he continued, "Unless it's the Jewish God you think is real, who I agree is definitely real and if you say He isn't you are Jeremy Corbyn."

The third one is going to be him fully renouncing Athiesm after doing the second isn't it, it's all so predicable.

I think he's a schmuck.

[The Mollusk]

There's not nearly enough commas in that for me to believe it was Baddiel.

[Ferris]

And the words which David hath spoken are heard, but Ricky heard them not.

Enjoyed this.

I don't think I desperately wish there was a god? Can't remember a time when I ever did, really, even as a child. Just... "oh well obviously that's not true" and on I went. Don't project your hackery onto me, David.
