“Sweet Hipster Style.”
June 16, 2009
According to Matt Yglesias, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad has it.
I keep talking about this with people in real life, but it deserves a blog mention as well — Mahmoun [sic] Ahmadinejad has a pretty sweet hipster style. It all starts with a beard not unlike the one I and many of my twentysomething male friends sport. But it goes deeper. The man went without a tie to address the UN General Assembly. And I was in a bar where the TV was showing his interview with Anderson Cooper (it’s DC, these things happen) and while there was no sound, he certainly looked witty and charming. There was also this clip of him walking down some hallway shooting the sh** with Kofi Annan. It’s like diplomacy! Bush should try it. One gets the sense that he’s getting his stody red tie-wearing ass kicked this session by sundry third world goons and it’s really not a proud moment for the United States
Part of me is like, WTF? Hipster? Sure, he’s got the stupidly “ironic” Members Only jacket and the annoyingly close-clipped facial hair and is a total douchebag to the point if he went into an American Apparel the universe might collapse in on itself, and sure he dresses inappropriately for any occasion, and of course he gives off that sort-of “hey, I’m a pedophile who lives in a van” kind of vibe, he’s a total disgrace to humanity, he’s anti-corporate and anti-capitalist, there’s no one outside of his paid-off friends and idiot progressive pseudo-intellectuals who doesn’t automatically hate him so much their skin crawls, his real job involves making sh*t up like he was a philosophy major and pointlessly looking down on other people as though he believes himself to be smarter than they are and HOLY F**K. He actually MAY BE A HIPSTER. All he needs are some side-swept bangs and a pair of skintight black jeans. And maybe some plastic sunglasses.
I bet he even likes Kanye.
UPDATE: For those of you who get the reference, look at this f**king love connection.

Yglesias is a jerk.
Tell us, Mr Jerk, about this part: “One gets the sense that [Bush]’s getting his stody red tie-wearing ass kicked this session by sundry third world goons and it’s really not a proud moment for the United States”
North Korea (the poster boy for “third-world goons”) still has two US citizens in a hard-labor camp, with a reservation for 12 years. There is almost no chance they’ll survive more than three.
And they’re working hot and heavy on nuclear bombs - just like the “witty and charming” Ahmadinejad.
I apologize to real jerks for comparing them to Yglesias.

Hipster? The fact that the dunce in question in so in tune with 1950s slang says all that needs to be said about his powers of discernment.

Yglesias has “tingle up the leg” syndrome.

[...] the regime is and what a “sweet hipster style” Ahmadinejad has. (Actually, argues E.M. Zanotti, he practically is a hipster.) In fact, I think he would have been much more popular as an icon of [...]

I think its WAAAAAAY beyond “tingle up the leg” syndrome and into a full-on man-crush. No wait, man-crush implies that its totally heterosexual. This one definitely involves some…um…real crushing. As for being in tune with 1950s slang, I kind of feel like I’ve never actually heard him say something like, “swell.” I would go back all the way to the late 1930’s: you know, Fr. Coughlin stuff. Anti-Semitism totally went out with the Nazis. You’d think that, by now, his little band would have gotten over it.
As a word of warning, of course, this is what hipsters do when they run the world: stupid shit. We should corral them all in their nearest American Apparel until we are safely out of harms way.

This answers a lot of my questions about the left.

Iran is a conquered nation and was been for over one thousand years.
The Arabs invaders came in while Persia was weak after a long war with the Byzantines. The Arabs conquered them and shoved the false religion of Islam down the throats of what was once one the greatest civilizations the world has ever known.
Since then the Persians have never done anything great. They are subservient to the inferior Arabs.
Shake off the bonds that tie you down. Repent of the death cult known as Islam.
Most of you have been brainwashed into believing that Islam is your chosen religion
It is not. It was forced on your people at the point of a sword. Look at the fruits of Islam. Murder, hatred, bombings, every Muslim country is ruled by dictators, every Muslim country is ignorant and backwards. Where do most of your young people go to study? Christian countries. Where do most of the young people want to move to? Christian countries.
You are conquered. fight back.
