It could be worse
There’s this guy Taki Theodoracopulos who passes for a journalist of some sort, or at least a commentator. He’s very rightwing and very rude, but he also seems to consider himself an adult. He once had a column at the Spectator.
He has a website he calls Taki’s Magazine, and there he has a pile of childish abuse.
TIME magazine has selected German Chancellor and part-time nude model Angela Merkel as its “Person of the Year,” because to call her “Man of the Year” would be sexist, even though she looks like a man.
…
The magazine’s glowing profile of the dumpy, toadstool-like alleged woman with the Moe Howard haircut…
So because she’s opened her legs spread-eagle to at least a million Middle Eastern “migrants” by the end of this year, TIME has designated her a hero rather than a traitor.
And in Chicago, tiny-fingered part-time Jewish ballerina Mayor Rahm Emanuel…
It should be obvious why British feminist Julie Bindel is a lesbian—because she looks like a sullen warthog and no self-respecting heterosexual man would touch her with a ten-foot dildo.
Any time you feel a bit fed-up or futile, just pause to remember that you’re not Taki Theodoracopulos.
The name sounded familiar, and then I remembered: Taki’s Magazine is where John Derbyshire wrote that really racist article that finally got him canned from his usual post at National Review.
Ah! I did not know that.
Taki is a disgusting piece of shit. The Spectator has this attitude of gentlemanly frivolity. Intelligent articles mixed with what they think is a bit of naughtiness, oh do have a sense of humour won’t you?
And the “naughtiness” is the stalest most predictable hackneyed kind of garbage, just snobbish insults lobbed at various branches of the lower orders.
bigotis familiaris
A very common breed indeed.
I remember reading him back in the ’70s; he had a regular column in some magazine I subscribed to back then. He was witty and occasionally thoughtful, but by the early ’80s he was getting rather macho and full of himself. It was a bit of a surprise to see how much of an asshole he’d become two decades later, but not that much.
Well, at least he’s an equal opportunity hater – it’s not just women he hates, but also lesbians (of course, those are also women, but they get a double dose of hate) and Jews. Nice piece of work.
Screechy Monkey, when you get canned from National Review, you know you’ve really gone around the bend.
Ah, and a right wing liar into the bargain.
Taki is also a notorious antisemite and did time for drug smuggling. Just FYI.
I know it’s my fault for clicking on it, but I’m not sure you had to add a hyperlink to a nude picture of Merkel. I admit it’s not as bad as Anne Summers* Tweeting a bukkake cartoon, but still a bit weird for B&W.
*the Aussie feminist, not the lingerie hawkers
His need for attention has made him particularly abrasive. He chides Merkel and insults her appreance merely because she’s aged, yet he’s considerably older than she is.
Not too bright
I didn’t add a link. The link is in the piece by Taki. I didn’t strip it out (or click on it). The fact that Taki includes a link of that kind is part of Taki’s shittyness.
I’d also point out that the existence of that particular photo and Taki’s tacky use of it says only good things about Merkel and bad things about him.
It’s very wrong to make fun of people’s names. But, honestly, for some reason I keep reading “Theodoracopulos” as “Theodocrapulos”.
