Left wing loonies used to be all in favour of free speech back in the day because they weren't in power. Now that the long march through the institutions is almost complete and they run most of the show, the last thing they want is the serfs speaking their minds. So now the loony lefties will suppress dissenting speech wherever the find it. For our own good of course.

This was one of your best, Sir. The picture of Jacinda was perfect.

Thanks once again for the laughs.

Simon Elmer's book "The Road to Fascism" is good on the failure of the so-called "left" during the fake pandemic. Among other things, he relates it to wokeism, which he sees as the fascistic extension of identity politics. This has all been a bit of a shock to me, since I used to think of myself as a leftie, and now find myself aligned with those terrible awful right-wingers on many issues.

Of all of today’s bon mots, I do believe “Neil like a Ferguson” may be la crème de la crème.

As a former crazy leftist— with the indignant voice wobble and all— I do think they’ve overplayed their hand with both misinformation and gender. My posts were removed from a moms forum during the pandemic because I used the word “ivermectin” even though I was actually talking about it in the context of its efficacy and safety against heartworm in puppies. And when I reposted using the phrase “the I-word” I was kicked off altogether.

I hold out hope (and see strong signs) that the perspective shift that happened to me during covid is happening to others. I look at the latest book in Chelsea Clinton’s series “She persisted” about women who defy all odds, and see it features Dick “Rachel” Levine. In various item descriptions I see Levine referred to as a female and a woman. This is really too far even for most of the “let’s just be nice” crowd. I know because I still struggle with that instinct. Silencing dissent doesn’t help when you are your own worst enemy. It’s like the woman in the restaurant who is screaming at and berating her server. Maybe the dude really did mess up her order, but that’s not what most of us are focused on.

Humans love stories more than anything. It’s why the movie industry thrived and why the Novel is pound for pound the most precious item one could own in a post apocalyptic world. Imagine finding a library filled with thousands of stories three hundred years after the collapse and civilization, but into a stable time of agricultural plenty, a new beginning without technology. And yet… the left want to destroy meaningful story telling by turning it all into woke propaganda. It’s bad already, but imagine the story lines in a uberwoke full on social justice society. Imagine every novel run through the filter of full on wokism. I’ve never considered being a book burner, but maybe at some point it might become an act of rebellion.

We have all seen how the left have destroyed comedy… I mean seriously, that new show by Chris Rock. Vomit 🤮. Horrible woke unfunny Shite.

Gosh. It’s like there’s a new form of secular Gnosticism on the rise...”*we* have the truth and you can’t possibly understand it. You low-life prol loser.”

The Jabberwocky

by Lewis Carroll

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought --

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'

He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.'

...However, there are some that prefer that Apotheosis of verse...'Vogon poetry is a variety of poetry, often considered to be one of the worst. It is sometimes used by the Vogons as a torture method, as it causes physical pain to the hearer. '

----'An example of Vogon poetry

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning)

As plurdled gabbleblotchits, in midsummer morning

On a lurgid bee,

That mordiously hath blurted out,

Its earted jurtles, grumbling

Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]

Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,

Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,

And living glupules frart and stipulate,

Like jowling meated liverslime,

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,

And hooptiously drangle me,

With crinkly bindlewurdles,mashurbitries.

Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,

See if I don't!'

To understand what is happening, read the book within the book '1984'. You know, the part with a smaller font that everyone skips.

The dullards of TV land and work-a-day buy a shit thing cos I'm Boredville will lap it up. "No No you're wrong cos the man said so and he's got a tie on... so there!" They don't really care anyway. As long as they can go to the game on the weekend - go along to get along...
