To loathe lefties with a passion?

Came across this and loved it. Punctures left wing twats right between the eyes!

"The point is that the "hierarchy of victims " is not an accident nor unique to this case. It is the whole basis on which lefties' views and loyalties in any issue are shaped - i.e. not by its rights and wrongs, but by who the protagonists are.

Any group you can think of can be slotted somewhere into the heirarchy of those whom the left either likes - ethnic minorities, Muslims, communists, strikers, the disabled, women, gays, public sector workers, dole claimants, and criminals, for example - or loathes: Americans, Tories, farmers, taxpayers, men generally, bankers and owners of private wealth.

These hatreds instruct the left on any issue. If demonstrating NUM miners are forcibly dispersed by the police, they side with the miners. If the Countryside Alliance are dispersed by the police, however, they side with the police, because they like miners and hate farmers.

If a Tory government withdraws money from pensioners it's the epitome of evil. If an NHS worker leaves the elderly to starve to death in their own excrement, the left couldn't care less. The left isn't pro-elderly unless this means being anti-someone else. If the someone else is the NHS producer, then the left isn't pro-elderly any more. The side they pick is the producer, who matters more than the consumer.

Where it all goes tits up is when two different client groups are at each others' throats. So the leftist sympathises with the criminal in general - unless the crime is domestic violence. Then they sympathise with the woman. Unless, again, the man is a Muslim cleric, in which case the lefty has to look away. Reggae singers going on about shooting gays in the head: this does not compute. Gangs of Muslims threatening gays: does not compute. Black governments victimising their own citizens? Pretend it isn't happening.

The left doesn't really give a toss about miners. What matters is who else is involved. White British police? - side with the miners. Black Communist-controlled police? - side with the police, they're above reproach - or at any rate, above miners [reference to ANC police and black miners at Marikana].

As we've noted before, Lefties reduce every issue to a disgusting form of Top Trumps. They are, quite simply, morally incompetent."

Is it unreasonable to agree that lefties are morally incompetent?

Cut and pasted from where tho?! I googled a few phrases from it and it only showed this thread!

willesden · 25/02/2013 19:11

My MIL is a leftie. She writes upside down. Never understood it.

flippinada · 25/02/2013 19:14

My guess, given the charming racist undertones, would be from the EDL or BNP. But then I'd have thought it would come up on google?

LeftWingTwat · 25/02/2013 19:16

I'm still puzzled by the whole lefties hating farmers thing, not a stereotype I've come across before, either here or in the US. What country is it from? Maybe South Africa with ANC reference?

scottishmummy · 25/02/2013 19:17

Zealots of any political persuasion are dull

Sunnywithshowers · 25/02/2013 19:18

Oh, unless the OP wrote it. I assumed it was a cut and paste rant, but I didn't google first. Confused

CarlingBlackMabel · 25/02/2013 19:18

I base my political beliefs on the processes I believe to be fair and an effective way to run a country and a society, not on what 'client groups' I like or don't like.

I don't sympathise with 'the criminal, in general' or in particular,

The whole premise of the article is spurious and ridiculous.

LeftWingTwat · 25/02/2013 19:19

Except it obviously has Brit references. Is it by someone who also has cultural refernces outside the UK?

LeftWingTwat · 25/02/2013 19:21

I thought it was cut and paste until my brain stayed latched onto farmers. Or have I been excluded from left wing farmer hating circles?!

garlicbreeze · 25/02/2013 19:22

I do hope somebody's already pointed out that your OP describes the intersectionality of oppression, Wobbly.

We 'lefties' aim to minimise oppression and to equalise injustices. That's all.

catgirl1976 · 25/02/2013 19:22

Omg

You totally know all my thoughts..it's so spooky......are you magic?

I totally think exactly like that because I'm left leaning

Amazing

you should get your own tv show

garlicbreeze · 25/02/2013 19:23

... whereas 'righties' see oppression as inevitable, aiming only to minimise it for themselves.

LeftWingTwat · 25/02/2013 19:24

It's so bizarre & illogical that I love it, it's why I'm still here!

MiniTheMinx · 25/02/2013 19:24

Yep garlic we all want to be equally discriminated against and disadvantaged Wink

MiniTheMinx · 25/02/2013 19:25

I'm still here because it's flippin hilarious.

garlicbreeze · 25/02/2013 19:25

That would do, Minx Grin

ThePathanKhansAmnesiac · 25/02/2013 19:35

Yabu, but I think you know that.

Rhiannon, do you need a lie down dear? .

YouTheCat · 25/02/2013 19:35

I'm ambidextrous Grin

LineRunner · 25/02/2013 19:38

Catgirl, I actually do know you better than you know yourself.

  1. You love Vodka.
  2. You can do sums.
  3. You secretly love Kate Bush during her mad phase.
Sunnywithshowers · 25/02/2013 19:49

No LineRunner that's not Catgirl, that's me. :)

DioneTheDiabolist · 25/02/2013 19:57

Was this written in the early 80s, because I didn't think that we had any miners left? Why won't OP provide a source? Is she too ashamed?Confused

My DBiL is a wealthy farmer. He loves immigrants and the EU for obvious capitalist farmer reasons, but he is a leftie. Can such a paradox exist or will it cause the formation of a Black Hole? Should I be worried?Shock

LineRunner · 25/02/2013 20:08

Maybe we are all, Out on the winding, windy moors, we'd roll and fall in green... with a lime twist.

LeftWingTwat · 25/02/2013 20:10

Go on, OP, you wrote it didn't you?

Sunnywithshowers · 25/02/2013 20:20

My dad worked for the NHS for over 30 years, and he's a Tory voter. I'm confused. Does that mean he's a leftie or a rightie?

EnjoyResponsibly · 25/02/2013 20:24

I thought half term was over. Did you have an inset day OP?
