Hegemony: An Explanation

Hegemony means you can tell lies about Iran and everyone will believe them.
No need to argue or question, cause we're thick.
And hegemony means if you tell the truth about Iran everyone will GO BATSHIT.
It's a wonderful world...

  3. He once said they don't have the "phenomenon" of gay people in Iran but his aide then said he was misquoted by the evil western media - the "crap and lies" you refer to - yes, the evil western media trying to make you out to be a nutter! we can believe this, definitely - so, what did he actually say? - what he actually said was, they don't have many gay people in Iran...
    Oh. :(

    She's bonkers, dear.

  5. Do you have any genuine reasons to believe that everything the west thinks about the way Iran treats its gay population is lies, then?
    Genuinely. I'm asking you. Why is it you can dismiss any kind of concern about Iran's gay population so easily? What is that based on, please?

    This for example, is completely made up.

  9. But you're not explaining anything.
    You're becoming defensive.

  10. Yes it was made up, which was the point of my post.
    They raped a kid.
    Tell lies and no-one will question it.
    Tell the truth and you go batshit!
    HEGEMONY!!!

  11. I believe everything I read in the media!
    In no way is it propaganda in the service of state power!!!
    Thank fuck I don't have to question anything!!!!!!

  12. "Thank fuck I don't have to question anything!!!!!!"

    I'm questioning you, but you just become defensive and start a barrage of sarcasm in place of any facts, reasons or explanation (ironically, given the title of your piece).
    Concern over the plight of gay people in Iran is genuine for some people - it's a bit shitty mocking that, I think.

    No need to argue or question, cause we're thick.
    And hegemony means if you tell the truth everyone will GO BATSHIT.
    QED! Hilarious!!!!

  14. You're not doing a very good job of disproving or contradicting those "lies", sadly.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Lies need no proof.
    Truth does.

    Did you read it in the paper? :)

    HEGEMONY!!!

  16. I've no idea why you feel you need to keep mocking me, I just asked some simple questions.
    Either the issue is serious or it isn't.
    If it is, then it deserves more than what you've written.
    If it isn't, why post about it in the first place?

    Your replies aren't seeking to explain or clarify anything.
    You're as bad as the academics you routinely criticise for clouding an issue with fancy language.

  17. I'm not mocking you.
    I'm asking you to read what I said.
    Tell lies - people won't question it.
    But tell the truth...

    HEGEMONY!

  18. I am glad that others are seeing what an inadequate little worm you are, Fagburn. You are utterly incapable of constructing an argument that makes sense- in fact you're like a 5th former that's come across a book on Marx. Hegemony what?? You're talking bullshit.

    Chanting the word 'hegemony' as if it's a mantra explains nothing. And the word 'hegemony' is not an argument. Little shits like you, Fagburn, call Peter Tatchell, amnesty international etc etc right-wing lickspittles because they call out the iranian fascist state.

    Since you are not brave enough to ever approve my comments for posting on your blog I will content myself with the knowledge that YOU are reading my comments and will appreciate, all for yourself, my contempt for your intellectual shallowness and inadequacy

  19. Just proved my point - AGAIN.

    Sorry. When did I (not) do this?

  21. "Little shits like you, Fagburn, call Peter Tatchell, amnesty international etc etc right-wing lickspittles"

    When did I say that???

  22. Er, I was playing around with Fagburn, "Tallskin".
    You seem more than a little irrational, to me.
    If you dislike Fagburn so much and find him "worthless" why on earth do you continue to read him?
    People stupid boy...
