This is the mindset of scumbag Farage. A man who failed 8 times to become an MP fooling gullible Americans like Brockton that he is some supposed barometer or mouthpiece for the British public. As though having to deal with the grief of losing your wife to a far right Farrage/UKIP supporting nutter shouting "Britain first, this is for Britain' and trying to bring up your bereaved kids alone was not hard enough. Farrage attacked Brendan Cox claiming "he would know more about extremists than me, he backs organisations like Hope not Hate, who masquerade as being lovely and peacful but actually pursue very violent and undemocratic means'
Farage and his croniesare poisoning Britain and our culture.
What made Farrage attack recently widowed Cox? Farrage ever the opportunist jumped on the opportunity the German Market massacre afforded him saying 'Events like these will be the Merkel legacy' not so very different from the same stupid views espoused on here in this tragedies wake. Cox replied 'blaming politicians for the actions of extremists, that's a slippery slope Nigel' and was greeted with being accused of being an extremist by the man whose own supporter had murdered his wife. There are lows blows and low blows but it doesn't get much worse than that. Or so you would think then the Brietbart columnist and Farrage sidekick James Delinpole tweeted 'When are we allowed to say that Brendan Cox is a total arse?"
This is what a Trump/Brietbart world looks like. Common decency and values like compassion thrown out the window for a chance to make a point. Endless NEGATIVE vitriol in which ANYONE or ANYTHING is fair game. So lies and stupidity are fine as long as they get to stamp their feet and keep their smug Alpha position intact.
If you think it is bad now it will only get worse. Intolerance is being bandied about as some new sought after asset. An attitude adopted by winners at the top of the food chain. It is a cultural cesspit in which hatred and prejudice are legitimized and even historical history of great genocides and social injustice can be dismissed as propaganda and fake. 'Hate Crimes' don't exist so that motivations to attack those that such narrow minded people are afraid of become legitamized as reasonable or denied altogether as well as justice for victims families and deterrents in future.
Open threats and suggestions that people opposing them or even just having a different opinion be hung up or raped become normal and the litany of such an avalanche of hatred is that any attempt to inject some levity into debates or question such attitudes is met with group think and and an insistence that being a decent human being or espousing values is really just being PC and trying to censor their heroically 'alt' views. It is the natural extension of an ideology based upon us and them. When you seek to create division then you must invent scapegoats whom you can blame. It is the them that must carry the can because looking inward and changing oneself becomes an admission of failure. It is being a libtard, a lefty , a feminist. It is a world view in which mental health becomes a label with which to target the vulnerable to say 'fuck em' because empathy is weakness and fault must be attributed. It is a curiously unchristian attitude born of a misunderstanding, an insistence that 'Sin' and 'falling short' are for the weak, the others those not blessed with privilege and the Alpha attitude should be disguarded as chaff is from wheat.
Are there naive people on the left ? of course. Stupid people? Plenty. Do they propagate hatred and demand that only their voices be heard ? not generally. Are they smug for it's own sake, do they mistake misanthropy for healthy cynicism ? not usually.
Welcome to the end of 2016. If thing continue along the same course 2017 is going to continue to be really shit for all but a tiny minority of elite untouchables now further emboldened by the support of swathes of previously realistic people buying into an ideal they think can get them a ticket to the chocolate factory.
Mr Wonka does not give a f$%k about you though. Smoke and Mirrors. He wants you to blame the unemployed, the refugees, the disabled, the guy who doesn't go to your church, the housewife not chained to the sink, the Native American that does not know his role as a pissed up loner in a reservation, the homeless guy in England that makes you feel uncomfortable when out shopping, the lefty libtard that doesn't aspire to vacuous materialsm, anyone but him the 'man' the guy who had to f88k you all over to make it despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
