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?

OP, have my first ever Biscuit.

Charlie, have my first ever Thanks.

yaimee · 26/02/2013 14:50

Not as much as we hate you OP

JugglingFromHereToThere · 26/02/2013 15:01

Hmm, wonder whether yaimee's post will stand.

Apparently it's OK to hate people as long as you hate enough of them that it's not personal Grin

yaimee · 26/02/2013 15:10

Grin it will be my first ever deletion if it goes!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 26/02/2013 15:11

Well, there are what I'd call 'non-thinkers' on both ends of the political spectrum. People who only have opinions that have been fed to them by friends or the media, without ever questioning them. A 'non-thinking' leftie probably would see the world that way. A non-thinking right-winger would see lefties that way.

So you liked that article, did you, OP? Figures.

skratta · 26/02/2013 15:14

Tea time? Have a Biscuit

BitBewildered · 26/02/2013 15:20

The OP sounds like the sort of bollocks my brother comes out with.

I don't see or speak to him because I think he's an arsehole.

HTH

In many ways, the paranoid, aggressive mindset shown in the op is a actually a punishment in itself. Imagine waking up every day feeling like that. It must be awful.

EldritchCleavage · 26/02/2013 16:00

Very well put, JesusInTheCabbageVan

"In many ways, the paranoid, aggressive mindset shown in the op is a actually a punishment in itself. Imagine waking up every day feeling like that. It must be awful. "
I would agree. I recollect a thread on here some months ago with the tital "all Tories are cunts" (I'm not exaggerating. It was literally that banal.) The person who started it did not strike me as a particualrly well-balanced or contented person. I don't, however, recall lots of people piling in to disagree with her. Paranoia and aggression are alright when directed at people we disagree with, it seems.

flippinada · 26/02/2013 21:06

I don't think it's ok directed at anyone Karlos.

Threads like that say more about the poster that makes them than anything else.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 26/02/2013 21:12

you don't, but plenty do, flippinada. As long as it's dreicted at Tories. or people who went to public school. They're filth too.

flippinada · 26/02/2013 21:18

Yes, I can understand why you would feel pissed off about that.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 26/02/2013 21:32

well, given I've voted for all 3 major parties in the past, I've no skin in this particualr game; I just find it quite funny how the knee-jerk pro-left types can't see that they are just as blinkered and unthinking as the blue-rinse DM reading matrons. Which is exactly what they would have been, had they been born 25 years earlier.

Yabu - incoherent unsubstantiated rantings

Fgs have you nothing better to do

flippinada · 26/02/2013 21:38

Yes, I think you make a good point there.

I suspect some people just like a good shit - stir!

MammaMedusa · 26/02/2013 21:41

I find much of the article really bizarre: "If an NHS worker leaves the elderly to starve to death in their own excrement, the left couldn't care less", for example, I mean surely that would only be true of a psychopath not a left wing thinker?

I manage to hold the opinion that certain policies are wrong at the same time as recognising that many believe them to be right and without having to picture those that do as inhuman demons.

What a shame the OP cannot.

Joiningthegang, can I join your gang, because I agree with you entirely about the DM.

"Which is exactly what they would have been, had they been born 25 years earlier."

I was born 25 years earlier, and I'm not.

claig · 26/02/2013 22:14

'they are just as blinkered and unthinking as the blue-rinse DM reading matrons. Which is exactly what they would have been, had they been born 25 years earlier.'

seeker, you are right. Not everyone has the foresight and understanding of complexities to be a DM reader.

I have noticed on MN, that there is some abuse towards left wingers, more abuse towards Tories, but almost unlimited abuse towards the Daily Mail reader and nobody seems to object. So what if some have blue rinses, blue is after all the Tory colour.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 26/02/2013 22:25

""Which is exactly what they would have been, had they been born 25 years earlier."

I was born 25 years earlier, and I'm not. "
I find this post mystifying. What on earth gave you the idea that it was all about you? Persecution complex?

seeker · 26/02/2013 22:28

The problem with the daily mail is that people read it, regardless of political allegiance, thinking that it is a serious newspaper, and feel that they can look down on Sun readers. However, anyone with a functioning brain- once again, regardless of political allegiance- realises that it it utter tripe.

MiniTheMinx · 26/02/2013 23:04

The media is corporate and the Daily mail is perhaps full of the greatest load of bollocks known to man.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2284473/The-great-lie-times-The-Left-wail-ruthless-cuts-But-reason-Britains-credit-rating-downgraded-government-spending-fallen-penny.html#comments

Here's a choice piece of misinformation for you

"A recent analysis by the fiercely independent Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) explains why. To be fair, the Government has tried to cut public spending. Indeed, every new economic initiative that the Treasury has come up with since problems in the public finances first became apparent in March 2008 (including numerous rises in taxation) was devised to reduce state borrowing" REALLY Hmm

Perhaps compare it to this www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ramesh-patel/growth-cameron-austerity_b_2007552.html which is based on the actual facts.

"Secondly, in 1997 Labour inherited a deficit of 3.9% of GDP (not a balanced budget ) and by 2008 it had fallen to 2.1% - a reduction of a near 50% - Impressive! Hence, it's implausible and ludicrous to claim there was overspending. The deficit was then exacerbated by the global banking crises after 2008

The daily mail is full of right wing propaganda.

'the Daily mail is perhaps full of the greatest load of bollocks known to man'

But it doesn't on the whole carry articles supporting climate catastrophe and '50 days to save the planet'
