To loathe lefties with a passion?

[Abitwobblynow]

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?

I think the OP is pissed off with the "all Tories are cunts/racist/stupid" (delete as appropriate) line which prevails in these parts. And she has my full sympathy, but she needs to realise that you do not beat the dickheads by joining them.
I also have to take issue with her contention that lefties regard people with disabilities as one of their client groups. IME, as the parent of a disabled child, indifference and/or bigotry towards people with disabilities is distributed across the political spectrum with a depressingly even hand. you may occasionally find specimens like Fiona Millar canting about kids with SN when they're trying to undermine free schools, but you do not have to be very perceptive to see through that.

I do agree that certain people do tend to overlook some very unsavoury views and behaviour in other communities because they've somehow designated them all as victims. Which is as damaging as viewing them all as villains. A lot of people on the left though are of that political persuasion because their own families have been picked on for being members of certain demonized communities in the past ( in my case, pikeys). That said, I'm not a 'hard-core' leftie either though - IME people on both extremes of the political spectrum, extreme Left and Right, tend to be deeply unpleasant people.

I've just read back and see that left wing types don't like men.

How does that work then? Was Tony Blair a figment of somebodies imagination? (yes I know he's not really left wing, but he purportedly was, as labour pm)

left wing types don't like men

Puzzling when so many "righties" like to point out how the unions are dominated by the disliked gender, weird that.

Something tells me that the author of this piece is not overly troubled by such pesky things as "facts".

BlissfullyIgnorant

"Apart from that, whenever Government (of any persuasion) do something the people in general dislike, lefties call rallies which often turn into riots, while the right roll their eyes and tut."

It did piss me off when the very to the le bbc started calling the summer riots PROTESTS only on the bbc ay

Flippinada

"facts or brains*

I think I've guessed the author of this piece.

Was it Jim Davidson?
Was it OP? Did I get it right?

what utter drivel.

"punctures lefties right between the eyes" what strange, needless & violent imagery this phrase invokes.

morethan

It does sound like Jim Davidson. I think you've got it Dione.

I see the miners' strike is still going on- presumably that means I have gone back in time and am now 20 years younger? And thinner- I do get to be thinner, don't I?

Unless this is some sort of satire, I would like to see the source for that tit bit of ridiculously bigotted writing. Sounds like the writer was busy slating the lefties instead of working towards his / her own political view. Oh maybe someone ad too much time on their hands. I am not a leftie (Crazy Balls and Ed the Red) look/act like Laural and Hardy to me but I also don't read the Daily Mail......

If I say one of my best friends is a Tory, does that sounds a wee bit too much like "I'm not a racist but..."?

It is actually true....!

Not sure I'd agree with how you phrased it, but I too get pretty tired of the whole "everything bad is the fault of the Tories". It's a childish, simplistic view of things and conveniently ignores the fact that the last Labour administration helped pitch us headlong into this financial crisis, not to mention dragging us into an illegal war

Cory of course you are thin. You've probably got a shocking hairstyle, but you are thin.

Flippinada, just call me Dione Poirot.

OriginalLady, are you sure it was only 1 illegal war? Felt like a lot more.

It's getting on for 30 years cory

Yes, we're old.

If we went back to the miner's strike, I wouldn't just be thin, I'd be pre-pubescent and be wearing sweaters knitted by my mother. Count me out.

Sorry OP, I wish I could answer you but I can't find my moral compass.

Loved Charlie's joke on the first page though :o

Can we have a "moon" emoticon please? It seems perfectly appropriate.

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?

My dad is a Tory voter and a Union Shop steward. Imagine my level of confusion.

:)

I thought goading threads were banned?

I thought so too Fanjo.

I noticed months ago, that if a poster has a swipe at vast groups of people, then that thread seems to be left to stand, as it is not classed as a pa.

There is a poster that does this almost daily, takes swipes at certain groups of people in society, but not about poilitics particularly[dont mean this particular poster]
