Thanks for a very timely reminder of what’s been going on for years. The police have been knocking on doors with monotonous regularity because someone has said something vaguely against the prevailing post modern narrative or feels slightly threatened by hordes of unvetted men roaming the streets. Yet indulge in specific incitement to barbaric violence against sex realist women and nothing happens. The evidence of two tier policing is everywhere despite Starmer’s repeated nasal intonation that ‘we’ve always had free speech here’. Well maybe we did once but no longer; it’s well dead and buried. And under such blatant appeasement by people in authority, it’s no wonder that bullies feel emboldened.
But surely, Andrew, violence and threats of violence are simply social constructs. They are performative actions associated with stereotypes of masculinity. And of course, a violent deranged man is perfectly entitled to display these characteristics in public if he is carrying the “Get out of jail free” card granted to him by identifying as a woman. If the police and mainstream media hadn’t been captured by this pernicious and dangerous cult, it would have taken them two minutes to recognise that trans activism has become a refuge for thuggery and unlawful threats. The tide has turned enough now to say publicly that it’s not a civil rights issue and to clamp down on these criminals.
Two-tier policing: saying a woman is an adult human female = hate crime; saying Decapitate Terfs = freedom of speech in defence of one of the most vulnerable minorities.
It’s insane. They demand you believe they are real women. Yet it’s obvious that they know they aren’t real women because they are treated with privilege a real woman would never enjoy - they get nicked for stickers with definitions on them whilst trans’women’ and their mates are actually violent and get away with it. Real women are left to be assaulted by these trans ‘women’ and their supporters. And snotty little misogynist yobs who detest real women love the trans ‘women’ to the moon and back.
In Scotland a man was allowed to blast loud music over a women’s protest at Hollyrood. He claimed a woman who asked him to stop broke his umbrella, which video shows was already broken before she went near him. Same man has complained to the police who have agreed to arrest the woman. He should have been arrested for noise nuisance - I expect the women would be if they played deafening music through a PA. Perhaps they should test that theory next time the trans activists get together in public to wish death on JKR.
Within a lot of "left wing" activists. I don't think anyone lot of the things being placed at the left are actually left wing either, the left has been hijacked with weaponised kindness.
I think the phenomenon of suicidal empathy apples to those who seek to support as victims, in a blanket fashion, Illegal migrants - a large number of whom turn out to be violent criminals escaping justice in their own country.
This is almost exclusively a left wing trait...
Then the authoritarian far left are the ones supporting violent action against those who oppose their ideas - they do have a lot of overlap with the actual far right -
but the use of that label "Far right" by every Mainstream media outlet and politician needs to be challenged because they seem to apply it in order to dismiss any right of centre activist or speaker who condemns, or legally protests against, the sins and errors of the left.
The number of actual far right activists is tiny by comparison with the suicidal empaths of the left, who persist in tolerating the intolerable, and Big Brothering the wordy protests on that topic.
I agree with pretty much all of that, but illegal immigration isn't a left wing issue - it destabilises the country and has an impact on wages and the working class. But the social empathy is a problem for the left wing because they tend to want to be kind. Objectively, it has nothing to do with the left wing. Left and right should be able to recognise a problem, illegal immigration, and come up with a solution. Currently the left wing is refusing to accept there is a problem.
I think the left/right labels are no longer accurate or helpful. What was ‘left’ has been consumed by the identity politics that obliterates objective truths and benefits the already privileged whilst it empowers those with nothing to offer beyond violence and destruction of our freedom. I agree the far right are a small cohort but I can’t see any group anywhere fighting for the wellbeing of the working class, which is what I understood the left to be about. The Greens need to be stopped, they’re insane and Labour aren’t much better. As for Corbyn & co, fakery and antisemitism. No thanks.
agree - the sensible left's ideas (the social contract, the NHS state run utilities) mostly either died a natural death or were slayed by Thatcher's assault on the state -
what we now see as leftist advocacy is authoritarian socialism at worst, woke, virtue-signalling anti-capitalist bullshit at best
my leftist bent includes the idea that private utilities should only exist where competition makes them work - so water, trains and the national power infrastructure are clearly better suited to national body/state running.
the anti-capitalist shouty student leftists include Zack Hypnotits, and every naïve socialist I see in the public arena. and They are so busy being sure Tommy Robinson is an icon of threat to their way of thinking that should be destroyed, that they refuse to see the reality that he tries to highlight.

Nothing says "Men's Rights Movement" more than threatening violence against those who disagree.

It has to be the best example we have of
Andrew didn't even touch on the situation in the US where TRA mass shootings are now an established phenomenon.
Thank you for pointing out that this “most marginalised minority” is actually one of the most over-indulged minorities there has ever been.
I don't recognise the concept of 'toxic Masculinity' but Trans activists come close to that definition.

Thank you Andrew.. all really useful and helpful to assist us people in their understanding of what is happening under their noses !
“If they sincerely hope to persuade us that they are women, acting like a drunk bloke with anger management issues is hardly a sensible approach.”
Brilliant, they are so bloody unladylike!
"These are bullies who are claiming to be the victims". Perfectly put Andrew.
