Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry on X - "During Stalin’s Show Trials, one of the charges against the defendants was that they’d read subversive material, which of course was illegal and punishable by death. But this posed a problem for the judges: even if it was only to confirm that it was indeed subversive material, reading said material was still dangerous. And so, on the margins next to the evidence of subversive material, the judges would pencil in "Did not read but disapprove." Just as bees make beehives, leftists reinvent Stalinism from first principles every time they are allowed to have power."
Meme - News Fist @malinformedtv: "There is something deeply haunting about this image. It is the final form of leftism. Every detail stripped, every nuance destroyed, every 'offense' ironed out. The censorship is total, the process complete. Nothing can be talked about as it is, instead it must be abstracted a million degrees from the truth to satisfy the endless hunger to erase a reality that refuses to conform to ideology. Ironically, it is a meme unto itself. The perfect reply to Woes law. Not only can they not understand reality, they cannot even depict it with any accuracy, lest someone be offended."

“You can’t preach here!” | Ciarán Kelly | The Critic Magazine - "Go and preach somewhere else.” That dismissive statement is fast becoming the stock response to the expression of Christian faith in modern Britain. Earlier this year, a video of a lone female police officer went viral after she rejected demands from hecklers to stop a Christian street preacher sharing the gospel in Whitechapel. In the middle of the exchange , bystanders were recorded trying to silence the preacher, shouting: “He can say it in a peaceful place like Hyde Park, go to Hyde Park!”; claiming “this is a Muslim area”. Quite rightly, and to the pleasant surprise of many, the officer was having none of it. It’s not the first time we’ve heard “Go and preach somewhere else”. In 2008, The Christian Institute assisted two church workers in Birmingham in pursuing legal action after they were prevented from handing out Christian leaflets. On that occasion it was a Police Community Support Officer telling them, “you can’t preach here, this is a Muslim area.” Others have been stopped from peacefully evangelising at pride festivals. In each case the underlying message is the same: “Preach if you have to, just not in places where there are people who might not want to hear your message.” And the list of places where offence rules supreme gets longer and longer... this rubs up against fundamental human rights provisions for freedom of speech, freedom of thought, conscience and peaceful assembly as well as religion. One of the most serious examples of this form of creeping censorship is found in a court case that took place last month in Northern Ireland. Clive Johnston, a 78-year-old retired pastor, was found guilty of being reckless as to whether his actions might “influence” people accessing abortion facilities when he preached “For God so loved the world” outside Causeway Hospital, Coleraine. This hospital is in an abortion buffer zone. Clive was found guilty despite the universally accepted fact that he didn’t even mention abortion. He had even taken the trouble to let local police know his intentions, reassuring them that this was not an abortion protest, but an open-air Sunday Service taking place near the hospital with a small group from his local church. This was not good enough for the officers who told Clive he should end his Bible preaching and move it to a “safe space” like a chaplaincy, where he wasn’t at risk of being heard by passers-by."
How ignorant. Don't they know that free speech is only meant to shatter policewomen's spines with sledgehammers, block motorways and throw paint on paintings? If you're not pushing the left wing agenda, like saying that Muslims calling areas Muslim suggests that there're no go zones, you're a dangerous far right extremist spreading misinformation who needs to be jailed

Oxfordshire council launches High Court bid to BAN Union Jacks which 'intimidate diverse communities' - "A Lib Dem-run council has escalated its campaign against flag-raisers to the High Court after a months-long feud over the Union Jack. Just as patriotic Britons have been urged to fly their banners for the World Cup, Oxfordshire County Council has supercharged its legal battle to ban raising British flags on lampposts. The council has applied for an injunction to block the Raise the Colours group from hanging the flag in a bid to "protect" its residents and "values"... A council spokesman said on Wednesday: "Residents across Oxfordshire, from Adderbury to Wallingford, have complained to the council about safety risks, intimidation and distress linked to this activity... Former England boss Harry Redknapp decried the anti-flag action in a major intervention last night. "We are proud to be British - that is what we are. Fly your flags, be proud of your country. Don't be ashamed to be British," he said. The county has so far spent £15,000 to remove more than 300 Union and St George's Cross flags from lampposts... Council leader Tim Bearder said: "This application is about protecting our residents, our workforce and the values we stand for as a county. "We are proud of Oxfordshire's diverse communities and of our Council of Sanctuary status."... "We have a clear responsibility to keep people safe and ensure our public spaces are welcoming and inclusive for everyone.""
We are still told that left wingers don't hate their countries
Isn't it racist and xenophobic to say that asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and/or "minorities" hate/fear the Western countries they live in?
Why has the English flag become so toxic? - "broader discomfort with the embrace of national self-interest that now marks most elite Britons. Cultural and educational change since the Second World War, and the role of nationalism in causing that conflict, has meant that sincere patriotism has come to be seen as threatening. Anything but the most cautious and hedged enthusiasm for one’s own country is now considered low-status, something engaged in by your ghastly suburban relatives. The recent embrace of national symbols by people who regard the current elites as their enemies is, consciously or not, a reaction against what Roger Scruton called “oikophobia”, an irrational and excessive scepticism of one’s own country and people. There is now a serious and fundamental divide between the national and post-national visions of Britain, and the public display of flags will continue to be a tangible manifestation of that split, just as it has been in Ulster for many years."
The working-class Bristolians defying Britain’s ‘wokest’ council - "when it comes to controversial flag waving, the council itself has form, with the Palestine tricolour flown from City Hall last year after the Government’s recognition of the state of Palestine. The suggestion that the England flag is being used for jingoism has not gone down well in Torrington Avenue, where it is a local tradition dating back decades... “It even brings tourists to the area,” said Isaac Smith, 31. “You see people driving past filming with their phones.”... In keeping with the Greens’ lurch to the Left under their new leader, Zack Polanski, Bristol’s council no longer just promotes cycle lanes and carbon-neutrality. It is also assertive on transgender rights, declaring last year that women should be referred to as “people with ovaries”. Last year, 18 Green councillors staged a walkout at City Hall when members of the public raised gender-critical matters."
Why does the Left think it owns gay people? - "Recent polling shows something quietly seismic is afoot. According to More in Common, Reform UK now enjoys the support of 25 per cent of gay and bisexual men, putting Nigel Farage’s party out in front before both the Greens and Labour in the community. In France, Marine le Pen’s National Rally has seen similar figures. For a group long assumed to be a locked-in progressive voting bloc, this is a noticeable shift, and one that’s leaving certain corners of the LGBTQ+ commentariat spluttering. Drag queens have refused to take part in a Pride event run by a newly elected (gay) Reform councillor. A writer in the obscure magazine Gay45 recently wailed about gays “voting against themselves” – which you’d imagine might be better targeted at the small but arcane group known as “Queers For Palestine” (a slogan so irrational it borders on performance art). The very idea of a monolithic gay community has always been faintly silly. It’s more accurate to speak of a gay population – i.e. wildly differing individuals with wildly differing priorities, just like any other demographic slice. And you would think that homosexuality being regarded with a casual shrug of “so what” by formerly hostile factions would be cause in the gay world for – if not celebration – at least a satisfied smile. The idea that your sexuality is the big factor that defines your politics – not your nation or your family, or such trifling matters like the economy, housing or defence – seems quaint, even insulting. But for a small, though very vocal, cohort of gay men, in a world increasingly stripped of deeper meaning, that single characteristic is all they have. Without a cause, preferably one involving gaudy parades and corporate sponsorship, they fear they are nothing. They don’t actually want to be rid of the drama. Their struggle must continue, even if the struggle has largely been won in the West. To continue it, they’ve taken up the cause of transgenderism... This is the vital distinction between what we might call the LGBTQ+ political complex, and gay men as individuals. There is the rainbow tip – all drag acts, glitter, wigs, and officially sanctioned bunting – versus the enormous iceberg of ordinariness beneath. Most gay men live lives that look remarkably similar to everyone else’s: mortgages, Monday mornings, arguments about whose turn is it to do the bins. This gap between the screeching activist class and ordinary reality is maintained with impressive discipline by the LGBTQ+ establishment, in much the same way that the Stasi once worked to convince everybody in East Germany that their neighbours were all cock-a-hoop for communism. The elephant in the room – the one that the LGBTQ+ establishment has to pretend isn’t trumpeting loudly in the corner – is increasing sectarianism, and the rising influence of political Islam in British (and European) politics. This is a growing shadow over sexual freedom of all varieties. Gay men, being neither stupid nor blind, have noticed this. The denial and frantic cognitive dissonance required to maintain the progressive Weltanschauung in the face of this reality is something to behold. It was captured perfectly in the recent Channel 4 drama Tip Toe, which went to ludicrous lengths to locate the threat to gay men in every direction except the obvious one. Indeed, a friend of mine reports that his partner – an otherwise unexamined progressive – watched the show in baffled amusement before declaring: “Well, I’m definitely voting Reform now.” You will, indeed, search in vain for any TV drama about the real-life murder of three gay men by an Islamist in Reading in 2020, on Channel 4 or anywhere else. Perhaps this dearth of honest representation on screens is why Right-wing gay men are proving popular online. The couple who run the “Nice Boys in the Country” account on Instagram started off sharing bucolic snapshots of their rural life. But posts in support of Donald Trump or demanding Starmer “stop the boats” have seen Alex and Mick Bull garner tens of thousands of new followers. One of the drag queens who pulled out of the Reform-led Pride event stated that the party was “working actively against people like me”. But in fact, Reform has no policy on reversing gay rights. They merely have the intention to follow the existing law that stops men from entering women’s private spaces, and to maintain the sensible safeguards for women that we wisely place around all men. “People like me” in this context refers in fact to transvestites, exhibitionists and fetishists, not gay men. There is a difference... Many gay men, like their neighbours, want to live in a prosperous and stable country which doesn’t treat their safety as collateral damage in someone else’s ideological experiment. Turns out we are, in fact, just like everybody else. Shocking, I know."

Black Lives Matter - Toronto @BLM_TO: "Apparently to some, our demands are "too Look for yourselves fam #BlackPride"
"Black Lives Matter Toronto, along with various community groups, including BQY and Blackness Yes have the following demands:
1. Commit to BQY's (Black Queer Youth) continued space (including stagertents), funding, and logistical support.
2. Self-determination for all community spaces, allowing community full control over hiring, content, and structure of their stages.
3. Full and adequate funding for community stages, including logistical, technical, and personnel support. Double funding for Blockorama + ASL interpretation & headliner funding
5. Reinstate and make a commitment to increase community (including the reinstatement of the South Asian stage).
6. A.commitment to increase representation amongst Pride Toronto staffing/hiring, prioritizing Black trans women, Black queer people, Indigenous folk, and others from vulnerable communities.
7. A commitment to more Black deaf & hearing ASL interpreters for the Festival
8. Removal of police floats/booths in all Pride spaces.
9. A public townhall, organized in conjunction with groups from marginalized communities, including, but not limited to, Black Lives Matter- Toronto, Blackness Yes, and BQY to be held six months from today. Pride Toronto will present an update and action plan on the aforementioned demands."

Creative Deduction on X - "Classical Marxism failed because the working class refused to revolt. So the left did something far more effective - they abandoned the working class entirely. One of the most significant developments in modern leftist thought was the shift from traditional Marxism to Critical Studies - an approach built explicitly around group identity and the demand for active political struggle. It is the dominant intellectual framework in much of today’s academia, media and corporate culture. At its core, it is an extension and radicalisation of the Critical Theory developed by the Frankfurt School in the 1930s. Critical Theory argued that Western society maintains its power not primarily through economics, but through culture, ideas, language and institutions that shape how people think. Since the spontaneous revolution Marx expected didn’t arrive, it would have to be actively forced through the systematic critique and dismantling of these “oppressive structures”. Revolution, in other words, became something that must be consciously engineered. This approach exploded in the 1970s and 80s with the rise of Critical Legal Studies. Scholars argued that law was not neutral but an instrument of power used by the dominant class to maintain control. That opened the floodgates. Soon came Critical Race Theory, Critical Gender Studies, Critical Pedagogy. All of them share the same core project: identifying hidden systems of oppression based on race, gender, class and sexuality, and demanding active intervention to achieve “equity” (equality of outcome) rather than mere equality of rights. We now call this "woke". That the revolution must be forced to happen is why modern critical theory is so explicitly activist. As Ibram X. Kendi put it: “It is not enough to not be racist; we must be actively anti-racist.” Passivity is seen as complicity. Neutrality is impossible. Education, under Critical Pedagogy, is no longer about teaching knowledge but about turning students into political activists who view society through the lens of power and oppression. Critical Studies’ deeply anti-individual core replaces the idea of the sovereign individual with group identity and collective guilt. It rejects objective truth, merit and colour-blind liberalism in favour of power analysis and enforced equity. What began as a marginal academic project has become a powerful ideological machine that now dominates government policy, corporate hiring and education systems across the West."
Rothmus 🏴 on X - "The left just normalized so much insanity that basic self-preservation now gets called “far right extremism.” Decades of open borders and failed assimilation delivered parallel societies, welfare strain, and crime spikes in city after city. Green fanaticism delivered energy poverty and deindustrialization while virtue signaling. Woke ideology delivered confused kids, erased women, and attacks on national identity. And the result is voters across France, Germany, Italy, Poland, the UK and beyond are backing the parties the media smears as “far right.” Those parties are simply saying what was common sense centrist a generation ago. Secure borders. Citizens first. Affordable energy. Law and order. Protect children. Preserve your culture. The Overton window got dragged so far left that reality, sanity, and common sense now look radical."

‘Monstrous’ Equality Act has gone too far, warns Lord Sewell - "The Equality Act is a “monster” that has embedded “flawed ideology” in the British state, a report has said. Lord Sewell, the Tory peer, said the legislation had given the state too much power to “actively enforce equality” and had done so unevenly. A Prosperity Institute report, published on Tuesday, calls for the repeal of the act, claiming it has replaced “individual freedom with collective victimhood”. The paper argues that the act, which came into force just before the 2010 election, means “discrimination is assumed to be the norm”. In a foreword, Lord Sewell wrote: “We built a monster. The original intent of anti-discrimination law was to give citizens legal recourse against discriminatory acts. “Instead, we created something far more ambitious: a framework that grants sweeping powers to the state and its agencies to actively enforce equality.” The peer, author of a 2021 report on race and ethnic disparities, added: “The problem is not merely that this power exists – it is that access to it remains unevenly distributed.” In addition, Lord Sewell noted that class and geography, the two characteristics that “most reliably determine one’s prospects in modern Britain”, were not protected under the legislation... the Conservatives have pledged to tear up the requirement for public-sector bodies to promote equality by abolishing the public sector equality duty (PSED). The PSED is part of the Equality Act 2010, and tells public bodies they must promote equality of opportunity between those who have a protected characteristic (such as women, black people and gay people) and those who do not. According to Lord Sewell’s report, the legislation led to a “legal shift from a concept of negative law, in which certain specific acts of discrimination were prescribed” to a more sweeping approach. The report proposes that the act should be repealed altogether, and that the concept of protected characteristics should be taken out of the law. The report suggests replacing it with a “bare” anti-discrimination framework which could be bolted on to the Employment Rights Act to protect some groups such as those with disabilities."

Graham Platner is now being promoted as the Democratic Party’s answer to “HR-lady politics.” Gavin Newsom is comparing himself to Patrick Bateman, a character who’s unspeakably violent toward women. When it comes to policy questions, these men are upstanding feminists. But in their self-presentation they’re leaning into masculinist messaging."
Thread by @GreenPlusAnE on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Dems can’t do anything about this because it is downstream from the law. The law created HR, and “HR ladies.” Employment law is vague. It was left to HR and the courts to figure it out. In effect it banned hiring for virtue, and mandated HR bureaucracy, diversity training, grievance panels and racial preferences. And Dems worship these laws. This is also why I disagree somewhat with Andrews’ monocausal explanation of feminization. It downplays the role of the administrative state and the overall regime. Women would have different roles and impacts under a different regime."
