Apparently there was a film made in 2006 called Idiocracy. I’m afraid I haven’t seen it.
The opening lines of the film explain its premise:
As the twenty-first century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits.
Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction — a dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.
The film’s plot: In 2005, Corporal Joe Bauers, a United States Army librarian, is selected for a suspended animation experiment on grounds of average appearance, intelligence, behavior, etc and is sent to sleep for a year. But the experiment is forgotten and he isn’t found till 500 years later. Over the five centuries, the expectations of 21st-century society ensure that the most intelligent humans fail to have children, while the least intelligent reproduce prolifically, which, through the process of Darwinian natural selection, creates generations that collectively become increasingly dumber and yet more fertile with each passing century.
When average underachiever Corporal Joe Bauers wakes up in 2505 – 500 years in the future – he comes to realize that people have become so dumb that he’s now the smartest person on Earth.
Of course, this could never happen in real life??????????
(Apparently the film didn’t get released into too many cinemas as the film company began to get cold feet about the film’s satirical message and so limited screenings to the legal minimum allowed in their contract)
Meanwhile on London’s streets
While we’re on the subject of an Idiocracy, here are a couple of pictures which suggest that Idiocracy may already be here:
Yup, these idiots really believe that protesting and putting on silly costumes and working themselves up into foam-flecked fury will alter the ever-varying orbit of the Earth around the Sun and have an influence on levels of solar activity:
Maybe human evolution has already stopped?
Meanwhile on Library Street
While we’re on the subject of an Idiocracy, the link below is to a real piece of video filmed somewhere in Britain on a street ludicrously called Library Street. I don’t know if there’s a library on Library Street any more. Probably not. After all, what use would the people living around that area have for a library? Although perhaps a public convenience would be of use to the locals – if they even know how to use a toilet? Then they wouldn’t have to use Library Street to get rid of their bodily waste.
This is not a parody or satire. It’s real life in Britain today. Perhaps this is yet more evidence that Idiocracy is already alive and well in our country?
Enjoy a daily scene featuring the fine, upstanding citizens of Library Street. Have a great weekend:
I’m running late today and so don’t have time to research and write the blog I wanted.
Instead, here’s Tony Heller’s latest YouTube video pointing out the utter absurdity of the climate alarmists’ claims. In the 1970s, they were blaming supposedly ‘extreme’ weather events on Global Cooling and at one point were even exploring ways of trying to make the polar ice caps melt faster in order to heat up the climate. Now they’re all saying exactly the opposite.
One of the key figures in this farce is a gentleman called John P. Holdren. In the 1970s he became known for his warnings about a new Ice Age leading to crop failures, millions dying of starvation and a mass movement of population from the increasingly frozen North. More recently, he seems to have changed his mind and became Obama’s adviser on Global Warming. Obviously Mr Holdren is a very flexible guy.
Meanwhile, despite all the climate alarmists squealing about the impending disaster of rising sea levels, Saint Obama has just splashed out $15 million on an impressively huge seafront property in Martha’s Vineyard. Would he have done that if he really believed the climate alarmists’ “rising sea levels” panicked claims?
As I meandered through cyberspace yesterday, I began to wonder whether there had been many studies of the link between intelligence (as measured by IQ tests) and the tendency to violence, particularly violent crime and social breakdown.
I found loads of learned academics who managed to state the obvious – that violent crime was linked to lower levels of intelligence – in the most obtuse, convoluted and verbose ways. But this was one of the most intelligible results I found :
Studies consistently reflect the fact that chronic or repeat criminal offenders have a lower average IQ than non-offenders. This is true among both juvenile repeat offenders (who average about 92) and adult repeat offenders (who average about 85). IQ tests are normed for a populace to 100. Every few years the tests are re-normed due to IQ drift, which tends to be upwards (commonly referred to as the ‘Flynn effect’).
More evidence comes from a study conducted in the Texas prison system which found that more than 20% of criminal offenders had an IQ below 80. IQ’s at such a level begin to seriously impede a person’s chances at life success and it is thought that a life of crime then becomes an alternative (dangerous and risky) path for such persons. Additionally, those who have IQ scores around 80 and below have significant problems in balancing short-term vs long-term desires. This is sometimes referred to as “the ability to delay gratification” and is related to time-preference (‘I want what I want and I want it now by any means necessary’ vs ‘I want X but will work slowly, methodically, and legally or morally to attain it’).
This is not, however, to say that those of moderate to high IQ do not commit crimes. The presumption here is that those of higher IQ tend to commit crimes which they are able to conceal or are harder to detect for a host of reasons. Chronic offenders do tend to be involved in far more physical crimes: burglary, assault and battery, car-jacking, drunk-driving accidents, rapes, homicides and the like.
But I couldn’t easily find any studies which dared link levels of social and political breakdown to intelligence levels. However, I did find this table of IQ results by country:
Obviously every country’s IQ levels will follow a standard Bell Curve:
Anyone with an IQ of below 85 is going to struggle to thrive in a modern Western democracy. Any country where the average IQ is 90 or below is going to find it difficult to develop beyond a certain point. And any country where the average IQ level is below 80 is likely to forever be a failed state.
There seems to be a remarkable correlation between each country’s average IQ and its level of development. I suspect that it would be politically-incorrect and racist and white-supremacist and colonialist and neo-colonialist and imperialist and neo-imperialist and a heinous ‘thought crime’ to write any more………..
So, I’ll move on to something else
I know how to save the planet
As schoolchildren demand governments act to stop ‘Global Warming’ or ‘Climate Change’ or ‘Climate Breakdown’ or ‘Climate Emergency’ or whatever it’s called this week and as cowed governments push up fuel prices by closing down good old coal-fired power stations and giving massive, taxpayer-funded subsidies to useless bird-choppers and other eco-fuel idiocies, I had an idea to help save the planet. This winter, all heating in government offices and schools should be turned off. And there should be no air-conditioning in schools or government offices during the summer. Moreover, all schoolchildren and their teachers should have to walk or cycle to school unless they live more than five miles from their schools. After all, our Greta-crazed kids, their lefty, eco-idiot teachers and our public-sector eco-loons surely want to do their bit to save humanity from extinction?
Then, when the brainwashed kids and their dumb-ass teachers and government workers start to feel a little discomfort from their idiotic demands, maybe they will take the time to do some research to educate their slow little brains. Hey, they might even discover that no amount of protesting and no amount of extra taxes can alter the Earth’s orbit around the Sun?
This blog has been a bit serious the last few days. So today I thought I’d lighten things up a bit. But only a bit.
First I’d like to show this picture I found floating somewhere around the Internet. It shows how fragile our advanced, democratic, Western civilisation is:
Not only does our advanced, democratic Western civilisation cover just a small part of the Earth’s surface. But the crowded masses occupying the rest of the Earth’s surface mostly want to move to the civilised West because their own countries are mostly backward, violent, crime-ridden, failed-state hell-holes.
There are fewer than one billion of us. We haven’t got room or the resources to provide for almost seven billion of them:
Our rulers tell us that it’s our duty to take in migrants and most countries have signed up to the UN Compact for Safe and Orderly Migration and planes and boats are already shipping in thousands of Third-worlders each month.
But how many must we take? With increased automation reducing the numbers of workers required in the West and with the West de-industrialising due to the ludicrous cult of Climate Breakdown or Climate Emergency or whatever it’s called this week, the last thing we need are more and more unskilled workers. And while our numbers are declining, there are about 100 million more of them born each year – around 50 million more each year in Africa and another 50 million a year in other Third-world countries.
Enriching Germany?
Here, to cheer us all up is a gentleman from Africa enriching Germany with his many skills:
I imagine nobody dares to intervene to stop him as German men have become so emasculated by political correctness and because they know that if they did intervene they’d be called ‘Nazis’ and be prosecuted for racism and violence against a poor, innocent migrant.
Here he is again, after smashing the windscreens of a few taxis with his lump of wood:
(it might take 30 seconds or more for the video to appear)
Because I believe all Third-worlder migrants are highly civilised, highly-intelligent, highly-educated and highly-productive members of society, I can only assume that this gentleman is the marketing manager for the German division of Autoglass Windscreen Repairs implementing the company’s new marketing policy to increase business.
However, I could understand that some cynical, right-wing, bigoted, fascistic individuals might consider that this gentleman is a low-IQ, violent, illiterate, worthless, unemployable, parasitic piece of subhuman trash that should be sent back to whatever cess-pit country he came from.
(Firstly, apologies to Rod Stewart for the title of today’s blog)
Yesterday I opined about the ten techniques our rulers are using to destroy our civilisation. Today, I wanted to suggest why they were pushing the West to commit cultural and existential suicide. But I haven’t quite worked that one out yet.
So, instead I’ll give a concrete example of how one country – the Republic of Ireland – plans to go about destroying itself.
It used to be common for comedians to make jokes about the Irish being a bit thick. But I imagine an “Irish joke” now would be considered a supposed “hate crime”. So I’ll just stick to documented facts. Though in today’s politically-correct, woke, snowflake world, criticising a group, even just using official reports and figures, probably also constitutes a ‘hate crime’ in the eyes of our useless police.
The Irish Plan 2040
The Irish Government has published a national planning strategy called “Plan 2040”. Here are some of the main objectives of this plan:
Guide the future development of Ireland, taking into account a projected 1 million increase in our population, the need to create 660,000 additional jobs to achieve full employment and a need for 550,000 more homes by 2040;
Of the 1 million extra people,
25% is planned for Dublin, recognised as our key international and global city of scale and principal economic driver,
25% across the other four cities combined (Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford), enabling all four to grow their population and jobs by 50-60%, and become cities of greater scale, i.e. growing by twice as much as they did over the previous 25 years to 2016, and
with the remaining 50% of growth to occur in key regional centres, towns, villages and rural areas, to be determined in the forthcoming regional plans – Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies (RSESs)
Some interesting issues arise with this plan. Firstly, most governments can barely plan beyond next week, so how can the Irish government plan for more than 20 years ahead? Secondly, there are general elections in Ireland every 5 years and presidential elections every 7 years. So what would be the point of one government or one president producing a 20-year plan? This would only make sense if the main political parties and the presidential candidates were almost indistinguishable from each other and if they were all pursuing almost exactly the same polices dictated to them by the Bilderberg Brussels bureaucrats. This would make Irish elections meaningless as whichever party or presidential candidate won would follow the same policies
The 2040 ‘population increase’
But the main problem with Plan 2040 is the expected increase in population of about one million people. The Irish birth rate is around 1.9 children per woman down from 4 children per woman in the 1960s and 1970s. The UK is at 1.8. But replacement level is 2.1 children per woman. So, the indigenous Irish population is actually declining.
Ooops! Where are the extra one million people in the Irish Government’s plan going to come from? Hmmm, I wonder.
Can the Irish do some simple arithmetic?
The Irish population is around 4.8 million. Let’s assume that the indigenous population will decline to about 4 million by 2040 because of the falling birth rate and a long history of native Irish emigrating to the UK and other English-speaking countries in search of new opportunities. Then, of the 5.8 million people who (the Irish Government predicts) will be living in Ireland by 2040, around 1.8 million – almost one in three ‘Irish’ – will be from Africa, the Middle East or places like Crapistan.
Of course, many of these wonderful people being imported by Ireland’s rulers may be highly educated, very Westernised and eager to roll up their sleeves and get to work paying taxes to support Ireland’s ageing population. On the other hand, many may be poorly-educated, barely-literate, low-IQ, violent, lazy, unemployable, West-hating, benefits-scrounging, deeply-criminal human flotsam and debris who will impose a massive economic burden on the working Irish, destroy communities and strain public services like health, education and the police as has happened in so many other Western European countries (Swedistan being one of the best examples).
Am I really the only person who has realised what the Irish Government’s plan will do to the country?
Ludicrously, the plan has nice pictures of rolling Irish countryside and happy white Irish families:
Perhaps photos of no-go, inner-city ghettoes with women dressed like Darth Vader on a bad hair day and the men stabbing each other or screaming about their snackbars and demanding the introduction of Sharia Law would be more appropriate?
Most other Western European governments are following a similar strategy of white race replacement. But no other government has actually announced its plans so openly and so clearly. And yet nobody in Ireland seems to have noticed, objected to or even protested against this catastrophic planned destruction of their country and culture. Though, of course, now Ireland has signed up to the UN Compact on Safe and Orderly Migration, anyone daring to criticise mass migration will probably be committing a criminal offence
This brings us back to the title of today’s blog – “Wake up Paddy, I think I have something to say to you”
(if any reader has friends or contacts living in the Republic of Irelandistan, perhaps they could send them a link to today’s blog?)
Today I’m going to plagiarise a couple of readers’ comments.
Western civilisation is probably the greatest civilisation ever achieved by humanity in terms of scientific, social and political progress. More people have been brought out of poverty and given relatively comfortable lives by Western civilisation than by any previous civilisation.
It’s always easy to hyperventilate and exaggerate and preach doom and gloom. But it really does seem as if our rulers are intentionally working towards the destruction of our civilisation.
Here are just ten of possibly the most important simple steps our rulers, supported by sycophantic media and academia, have taken to ruin everything that the West has achieved:
The invention of White Guilt to try to cow us into submission to other races and cultures and make us ashamed of the incredible achievements of our forefathers and of our history
The destruction of the traditional family unit through promotion of sexual ambiguity, homosexuality, easy divorce and undermining of parental responsibility
Massive immigration to break up traditional communities and destroy any sense of national identity
Giving power to globalising institutions like the EU, UN, IPCC and may others of their ilk in order to eradicate the existence of nation states with their own national identities
Dependency on the state for services and benefits which encourages politicians to bribe their way to power by offering us ever more rather than daring to encourage us to be more self-sufficient
The asphyxiation of free speech by inventing ever more ludicrous supposed politically-incorrect ‘offences’ so that even the most innocuous comment can lead to the destruction of people’s careers and to them being socially ostracised
The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority by brainwashing and/or intimidating a generation of teachers with leftist, progressive, socialist and woke propaganda
An unreliable legal and policing system that is biased in favour of criminals and against the victims of crime and which seems more interested in imposing thought control and speech censorship than in fighting real crime
The invention of imagined ‘global threats’ such as Global Warming or Climate Change or Climate Breakdown or Climate Emergency or Extinction (or whatever it’s called this week) to make us dependent on supra-national, rather than national, institutions
An obsession with ‘equality’ which makes it illegal to suggest that there may well be physical, intellectual and cultural differences between different races and peoples
Ghastly as were the two World Wars of the previous century, throughout these conflicts the enemy was “without” and consequently could, with sufficient strength and determination, be overcome. Now it is “within”. The European project, the original aim of which was – so we were told anyway – to preclude all possibility of further European war, has turned out to be a spectacular failure, mainly because the wishes of the indigenous populations of the nations involved have been disregarded at best, but treated with utter contempt the majority of the time.
A previous generation for instance largely voted FOR the Common Market 40 plus years ago, little knowing at the time that Edward Heath et al were already THEN planning for a federal Europe. The current Brexit debacle is just the most recent example of the contempt the ruling classes have for us plebs.
How will it end? The alternatives are stark – either the indigenous peoples of Europe rebel and take up arms (where would they obtain them though?) to protect their civilisation and heritage or – overwhelmingly more probable – the indigenous populations, weakened mentally and physically by half a century of emotional and physical over-indulgence, navel-gazing and politically-correct propaganda, roll over and submit, thereby negating 500 years of scientific, medical and artistic evolution.
I know Sweden quite well. I speak Swedish and have worked in Sweden for several years. OK, I know Sweden used to be possibly the most boring country in the world and the Swedes some of the most boring people you would ever meet. But the country’s nature was wonderful and it was a pleasure in the summer sailing in the Stockholm Archipelago or swimming in some of Sweden’s over 97,000 lakes.
But Sweden is boring no more. In fact it’s vibrant and diverse and multi-cultural and thoroughly enriched.
Rape, rape, rape, rape……
If this was your impression of Swedish girls:
Then you need to read the news a bit more. Nowadays, Swedish girls are just as likely to look like this:
Or even this:
Come on baby light my fire
The massive increase in rapes was just the first indication of the benefits once peaceful, once safe Sweden was getting from its policy of importing hordes from the Third World. Next came the loss of Swedish territory to the invaders as probably over 50 areas of Sweden became ‘no–go’ areas for the police and emergency services:
The situation was so bad that Swedish police started closing police stations in these so-called “sensitive areas” and retreated to safer districts where they could better protect themselves.
Boom bang a bang, boom bang a bang
Nope, these are not the words of an Abba song. They are what you’ll hear night after night in some Swedish towns as gangs of enrichers fight over territory. As the excellent and highly readable Spectator magazine recently reported – one night last week, explosions took place in three different locations in and around Stockholm. There were no injuries this time, just the usual shattered windows, scattered debris and shocked people woken by the blast.
The police bomb squad was already on its way to the first explosion in the district of Vaxholm when it had to turn around and prioritize the detonation at a residential building in the more densely populated city center. Explosions have become so normalized in Sweden that SVT, Sweden’s equivalent of the BBC, did not even mention the three explosions in the country’s capital on its national news program that evening. Instead, the main domestic story was the purported censorship of ‘big female bodies’ on Instagram. The explosions were left to the local news.
Between January and June this year, more than 100 explosions were reported in Sweden, up from about 70 in the same period last year. There are no comparable figures available for earlier years because it’s such a recent phenomenon. Until recently no one would have thought of adding a column on bombings to the national Swedish crime statistics.
Sweden’s gangs, which mainly operate out of the country’s socioeconomically weak immigrant neighborhoods, do not only use explosives to assert their dominance. Sweden had 45 fatal shootings in so-called criminal environments last year — a tenfold increase in one generation. By contrast, Norway has fewer than three such shootings a year. Nine out of ten perpetrators of Sweden’s gang shootings are either first- or second-generation immigrants.
The country has gone from having among the lowest rates of violent crime in western Europe to one of the highest. When it comes to bombings, no other developed country in the world which is not at war has experienced anything like Sweden’s epidemic.
And here, to cheer us all up, is a short video of umpteen useless Swedish police having their fat, lazy asses kicked by just one diverse, vibrant enricher. This is recorded at a migrant centre and the people you hear laughing in the background are other migrants. Clearly they don’t have too much respect for the Swedish police. I don’t wonder why:
You’d think our globalist rulers would be more than delighted with the millions of Third-worlders they’ve managed to bring into the West. After all, now that Salvini has been deposed in Italy, the NGOs can run their luxury ferry services from Africa to the EU without any limits on the numbers of highly-educated doctors, engineers, computer programmers and nuclear physicists they can import:
But apparently the millions pouring into our once civilised, but now dying, continent haven’t been sufficient to achieve the Great Replacement that our rulers want to impose on us. So now our rulers have started chartering planes to send to Africa to bring in loads more highly-educated doctors, engineers, computer programmers and nuclear physicists:
Here’s a proud report from a couple of days ago from some organisation called “The International Organisation for Migration”:
154 Somali refugees were sent to Germany from Ethiopia last week. The resettlement was made possible through a program run by the German and Ethiopian governments, the UN migration agency, and the UN refugee agency.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Ethiopia carried out its first international charter flight carrying the Somali refugees to be resettled in Germany last week.
In a statement, IOM said the group, which departed on October 15, had been residing in the Jijiga and Dolo Ado refugee camps in southern Ethiopia and included 63 males and 91 females, 47 of whom are minors.
Another 220 refugees to depart in November
Since March, IOM has supported the German Resettlement Program in their efforts to resettle 500 refugees from Ethiopia to Germany. These efforts are closely coordinated with the Ethiopian Government’s Agency for Refugees and Returnee Affairs (ARRA), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the German government.
An additional 220 refugees are set to depart for Germany on another IOM-chartered flight in mid-November. The majority of these people have already undergone the necessary interviews and health assessments.
“It is important that we facilitate the smooth resettlement of refugees by providing safe transportation,” said Milun Jovanovic, operations officer with IOM Ethiopia. “We are happy that refugees enjoyed this facilitated charter flight from departure to destination, with no hassles faced.”
Relocations to over 16 countries
For the past 15 years, IOM Ethiopia has been involved in relocating refugees to more than 16 countries through resettlement, family reunification and humanitarian admission programmes. Among the countries these refugees now live in are the USA, Canada, Australia, Norway and several European Union nations.
In 2019 alone, IOM has assisted 4,000 refugees to resettle to new countries together with UNHCR. The organization facilitates case selection and processing, health assessments, movement from camps and departure logistics. IOM teams also conduct pre-departure orientation to ease refugee integration
The invasion in this article is just from one country – Ethiopia. Who knows how many such flights are coming in from other violent, backward, excrement-covered, West-hating Third-world sh*t-holes?
I imagine that each of these wonderful people will cost European taxpayers at least £1m in transport, healthcare, housing, education for their hordes of children, benefits and other support. So, each time one of these planes lands in the West, that’s at least £150m of taxpayers’ money that will have to be taken away from services used by people who have actually worked and paid taxes.
Meanwhile in Germany, pensioners are resorting to going through rubbish bins to find enough food to survive, in Sweden and Germany pensioners are being evicted from their homes to make room for the invading masses and just in England about 20,000 pensioners a year die prematurely because they can’t afford to heat their homes (a number that seems to be rising as idiot Ed Miliband’s greenie taxes push up fuel costs)
But in all these countries, there always seems to be plenty of money and homes for Third-world migrants.
I think the message from our rulers to those who have worked and paid taxes all their lives is – why not drop dead so we’ve got more money and room to bring in more multi-cultural enrichers?
Old people, you are living too long. Our rulers would much rather replace you with vibrant, diverse and probably parasitic hordes from the world’s worst hell-holes.
I apologise. I’ve missed yet another important day in your lives – International Pronouns Day.
Yes, last Thursday – 17 October – was International Pronouns Day. How could I have forgotten? How could I have been so remiss?
International Pronouns Day is an incredibly important day. Here’s some (IMHO) ludicrous, incompetent, politically-correct, common-purpose, over-promoted, under-talented buffoon (probably promoted because she – like the pointless Cressida ‘Dickless’ Dick – is a woman and possibly a l****** – who knows?) big boss of the Cheshire Police telling us how important International Pronouns Day is:
I am slightly confused as to why this (IMHO) complete waste of skin in a police uniform is lecturing us about International Pronouns Day. After all, is it a crime to ‘misgender’ someone? Is it a police matter if I accidentally refer to a (IMHO) mentally-disturbed, confused, self-obsessed, narcissistic, transgender freak as ‘he’ or ‘she’ rather than ‘ze’? After all, maybe such a creature self-identifies as a ‘he’ today and a ‘she’ tomorrow and a ‘ze’ or whatever the day after. How are the rest of us expected to keep up?
And while this (IMHO) piece of over-promoted, useless garbage is wittering on about International Pronouns Day, the area ze is supposed to be policing has had the highest rise in violent crime of any police area in Britain – up over 40% in just one year. But, of course, police-uniformed (IMHO) laughable, pompous, brain-dead idiots like this seem not to consider real crime as something that forms part of their job description. Nope, supposed offences like ‘misgendering’ are far more important to these clowns than people being raped, robbed, mugged, stabbed and murdered.
Confused about your sex?
I appreciate that in today’s politically-correct lunatic asylum Britain some readers may be confused about what sex or gender they are. So I’ve produced a simple pictorial guide to help you all find out which sex/gender you are.
There are, as far as I know just two sexes/genders and not up to 100 as the BBC claims.
If you’ve got one of these, then you’re a female:
If you’ve got one of these you’re a male:
And if you look like this:
then in my humble opinion you need to go and see a psychiatrist
Today’s title might at first look a bit exaggerated. But let’s consider today’s British academia and media. As the madness of the political correctness, thought-control fascists engulfs us, you’re not allowed to mention any of the following subjects:
whether men (with penises) self-identifying as women are real women
whether immigration is actually a benefit for our country
whether the Religion of Fabulousness and Peace really is fabulous and peaceful
whether Izlumists are a greater threat than supposed ‘right-wing’ terror
the religious and geographic background of the gangs that have mass-raped, mass-sodomised and mass-tortured over 50,000 mostly underage white girls in cities and towns across Britain
whether Western colonisation actually did bring some benefits to the backward, Third-world sh*t-holes where Western colonisers brought democracy, the rule of law, railways, roads, electricity, education, healthcare etc etc
whether human activity actually influences our climate
Of course, in the former Soviet Union any mention of a whole range of subjects and any criticism of the System meant arrest, imprisonment and possible death.
In today’s Britain, if you dare mention any of the subjects listed above in academia or the media, in general you won’t be thrown into prison. Although, as Kevin Crehan found, a stupid gesture such as putting bacon sandwiches at a mosque door did result in prison and death. But in Britain any wrong-thought or wrong-speech will lead to you being immediately be attacked by a howling Twitter mob, accused of Transphobia or Izlumophobia or racism or of being a ‘climate denier’ (which is apparently as bad as being a ‘Holocaust denier’). Moreover, you’ll be hounded out of your job, your career will be destroyed and you’ll be ostracised for ever. The Twitter mob never forgives anyone who transgresses their rules on correct-thought.
In Soviet times, many Soviet citizens used to listen to foreign media such as Voice of America or the BBC World Service to find out what was really happening in the world. Nowadays, you have to tune in to Russia Today TV or Sky TV Australia to see discussion of subjects that are now taboo and life destroying in Britain.
Protesting won’t change the Earth’s orbit around the sun
And this brings me to the second part of today’s blog – a discussion from Sky TV Australia in which the participants dare ridicule the claims of the Extinction Rebellion idiots. This discussion would be impossible in today’s Britain. Sky News Australia is one of the few media outlets I have found which dares think what the British thought-control fascists would call ‘wrong-thought’ and which dares feature ‘wrong-speech’. In particular, I’d recommend readers go onto YouTube and search for Andrew Bolt.
Today’s video is about 10 minutes long. But you’ll get the picture from just the first few minutes if you’re in a hurry.
So, calling all ecofascists! Calling all ecoloonies! Calling all climate alarmists! Calling Crazy Greta the Doom-monger! Sky News Australia has some baddish news for you.
No amount of protesting and shouting and marching and putting on silly costumes and playing bongo drums in city centres and gluing yourselves to various objects and weeping and wailing for the TV cameras and primal-screaming and preventing people getting to work can alter the Earth’s orbit around the Sun:
David Craig, on November 2nd, 2019
