It's really not the social justice mobs at universities that make my blood chill and fear for the future (although they do) it's more the reality that in a free liberal country like the UK the police can show up at the door, for something someone heard you say.

Yes. It’s like 1930’s Europe all over again. No clearer example of fascism than this, I’m afraid. What was the line about them showing up and saying it seems he needs to fix his thinking? Scary beyond belief. You’d think it was made up or a line out of a movie except it’s not.
They've set up a system where agitated violent Muslim mobs are the norm and therefore the people who provoke them by opposing their behavior are the ones that need to be shut down.
In the UK, they arrested a woman who was praying outside an abortion clinic. She was not praying aloud, but in her head. She was not trespassing either. Crazy times.
This is a hard problem, probably only solvable by sending in the military to use machine guns on those crowds. This is what a pre-revolutionary situation looks like people. It can blow up in a day. I guarantee you that muslims have weapons. And if politicians won't help you, then you need to emulate the IRA and be ready to fight.
Yes. Britain needs to send in the military. But "Londonistan" has a Muslim mayor. Over 15% (and growing) of the city is Muslim. Several terrorist leaders now live in London. Disaster is what diversity brings. It's the Trojan horse to end all Trojan horses.
Let's speak the truth here. Everyone knows the ultimate prize for the mullahs in Iran and Qatar who fund Hamas is for Islam to achieve worldwide dominance. That's why they spend billions of dollars in oil money to fund universities that spread their propaganda to useful idiots in the US and all around the West.
We are spiraling into world War. I thought climate change was going to be the principle pressure to war. Instead, it is hubris by Biden (but really by his idiot staff and their backers) combined with stupidity and an all but worthless press corps. The US is becoming a satire of itself.
What you are feeling is the requirement to make decisions and take real action for war. War picks you in this case. Lean into it. That is the way through. Make the decisions. Take the obvious actions. Do what is sensible. Accept that we all die, and it may be violent, not peaceful.
Look straight into the dark. Don't turn aside from what is visible that you don't want to see. But do the thing you are avoiding.
Metal, you need your sleep. And so do I. Just watch a few kitten or puppy videos on youtube to help you relax. That's what I'm going to do right now. Meow, meow. Woof woof.
That’s so kind! Thank you. I will listen to our elderly Great Danes snore and sleep-grumble. Big smile, and a virtual hug from a stranger and a couple of slightly unwashed doggies.
Thank you so much. You and your sweet elderly terrier and beautiful black cat make such a lovely, cozy picture. Thank you for the smile. Smiles and good sleep have been rare for us since Oct. 7. Today I will rest and pray for the hostages and also, in profound gratitude, for the veterans - and for the kindness of strangers, like you, who hold up civilization.
We must speak out. And we must encourage others to find the courage to speak out because what's happening now is intolerable and completely incompatible with human civilization.
You give politicians way to much credit. Michelle Obama nailed it. "I've spent time with world leaders. They're just not that smart." Subtext, she married one...
What's going on is idiocy mated with expediency and, well, evil.
Ideologies are dangerous. That's why Marxism has caused such horrors. That's why islam has perpetrated such horrors for so long. It's not jumping at shadows to treat this as the war in our nation's that it is.
"We are all complicit." Is left wing speak for we are just as bad or worse than they are. It is what the US hating left does. According to a Dem/Soc the US is the root of all evil. If I express my disgust in the brutal, misogynistic, murdering, religion of Islam, I am not making an accurate description of Islam. I am an Islamophobe. If I express my disgust over the ever senile Joe's open borders policy, I am a racist. If I want to restrict immigration from Islamic countries because the religion promotes terrorism and I don't want potential terrorist into the US. I don't have valid concerns. I am again an Islamophobe. Well, I am an Islamophobe and we should all be Islamophobes. Because I fear a dog with rabis doesn't mean I hate dogs. It means I am being prudent.
In the same sort of way I'm suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome by virtue of recognizing him for the opportunist griffter that he is. Both sides throw around these silly labels that don't really say very much more than 'I don't like you'.
And for your thoughts. Honestly, who that has read 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 ever thought to hear a police officer actually say, You need to check your thoughts?
It truly is terrifying. It 100% reminds me of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, which when I read both in high school as required reading, I scoffed and tossed both books under my bed, most likely mumbling aloud about the fantastical nature of it and that no such thing would ever happen. Never say never. It’s a motto I live by.
“… Miller told me he was surprised when the cops called him to say they had received a complaint. “ ‘We need to check your thinking,’ ” Miller recalled the police officer on the other end of the line telling him…”
Sadly the true terror is just beginning. With the simultaneous invention of this neuralink and AI they can require you to hook up to check your thoughts. The tribulation will be worse than can be imagined and no, true believers in biblical truth will not be spared. It is for this reason that it will be shortened. They are the “elect” referred to in revelations. The rapture will be 144,000 of the scattered tribes of Israel who have not bent the knee to Ba’al. Interestingly the number of sovereign Israeli’s who have become believers in Messiah is now thousands. They are raptured to fight the fight in heaven that occurs simultaneously with the tribulation on earth, aka Armageddon. This is widely misunderstood due to wildly misleading popular movies and false teachings.
We don’t have to go back. This is the new inquisition where having faith is bad, God is dead, right is wrong, the red Queen’s in charge so hang on to your heads!
This is what anarcho-tyranny looks like. No first or second amendment. No border or assimilation.
The police can no longer maintain law and order because they are outnumbered and have no government support. They will only go after individuals who say mean things, not mobs who destroy their civilization. But at least the UK football team kneels for racism, that will fix everything!
This may come across as pedantic - okay, it's just straight-up pedantic - but I have to ask: "anarcho-tyranny"?? As I understand them, that's a contradiction in terms . . . or is it deliberately so? I'm genuinely curious, here.
As I understand it, anarchy - literally 'no-ruler' in Greek - means simply a refusal to recognize any political power above the autonomy of the individual, while tyranny derives from the Greek term for a single ruler who exercises power without bounds, and with no regard for those ruled; a tyrant is basically a king who goes bad.
So, "anarcho-tyranny" would be "no-ruler-but-absolute-ruler-ism." Am I missing something?
Now, now. I'd never come across that juxtaposition of terms before, and I was genuinely puzzled by it. And, as I freely admitted, I was being pedantic about it.
I'm genuinely grateful for the explanation. I'm not convinced there isn't a better term for it, though. I mean, Plato would have just called it "democracy"! (But Plato was a disinherited royal, so he was really, really bitter about the whole Pericles thing.)
I appreciated your question, Bob K. It brought about an illuminating conversation. I now have a clearer picture of the British situation, because in this conversation the situation was named as "mob rule." I had not thought of that description, and I think it is accurate. (And it will take a lot of courage, and time, to get out of this.) But naming helps. Thank you.
And I also appreciate the philosophical comments! I'd like to be better schooled in Western philosophy. That will help, too.
It is the tyranny of the mob, unconstrained by the forces of law-and-order. People can be "ruled" by terrorism in the streets. In this case, the police are actually doing the work of the mob, tearing down handbills with the photos of those taken hostage by the terrorist group Hamas. The police themselves are afraid to act in any way that will displease the mob.
I was confounded by the name “Antifa” when they employed fascism as a means of intimidation. My husband keeps saying it’s right out of the book “Rules for Radicals”. I’ve not seen this book but I’d like to get a copy. Written by the sociopath Saul Alinsky and dedicated by him to Lucifer who no doubt inspired every word.
How this mentality is considered “good” today makes it clear that so many ppl, (esp those in positions of power) answer to a lower power.
It sure brings out the worst in ppl.
I still believe that God will hold everyone to account for the poisoning of youth especially.
Until we start naming the devil in all his aspects, loudly and proudly, he will continue his insidious entrenchment in society. Youre not crazy for thinking Satan is at work, you are factually correct. In fact he works overtime.
What the mobs in England and in Portland did were not government directed. The police just stood back and did nothing OR when the police (in Portland) made arrests, the prosecutor would not prosecute so the bad actors were back on the street night after night doing the same disruption of public order, including property destruction. The Central Precinct police bldg itself had to be boarded up so the mob would not continue to break its windows, throw molotov cocktails into it, etc.
The tyranny comes in other domains of life. Internet censorship, being fired from your job, banning things like gas cars and gas stoves. School indoctrination being ramped up. Shutting down businesses, constantly raising taxes including on things like income and gasoline. Thats the tyranny on the law-abiding citizen, while lawlessness is fully allowed for ne’er-do-wells.
A good example is how I park my car downtown (also Portland, OR here) and theres people right on the sidewalk smoking crack/meth, masturbating, screaming obscenities at passerbys, often stealing from stores. I saw “ah well, just another day in Portland” and when I come back my car has been ticketed bc I went 5 minutes over the meter. Im getting nickeled and dimed to the fullest extent of the law, but the law is not being enforced in pursuit of public safety whatsoever.
From what you see on the internet one would think that Portland should be a ghost town by now. How do you hang on? Why do you hang on?
Anyway ... yes, I get your point. To split hairs there's a difference between anarchy and tyranny existing at the same time, and anarcho-tyranny being one single political strategy. It's oxymoronic. ... Mind ... in a world where freedom is slavery ...
like the 2020 riots when the cops stood around and watched arsonists destroy entire city blocks. or baltimore or st. louis or chicago or san francisco or los angeles just on any given day. or portland or
And the few ppl who fight back to protect their homes or businesses are harassed, doxxed and arrested/investigated.
The Proud Boys were started by a black ex military guy and a few of his friends. But since they opposed leftist groups and activities they are a dangerous white-supremacist group.
Anybody who hates on another person just because of race, ethnicity or religion IS a bigot.
I wasn’t raised that way. My parents were very welcoming ppl and we had different black ppl living in our house in the 60’s. Some of our neighbors were southern rednecks who shunned us for it. We didn’t care.
The only kind of person I just can’t stand is mean ppl.
Yes! I live in Portland. The street level windows of some downtown Portland bldgs are still boarded up from the over 140 consecutive nights of demonstrations that included many acts of arson. But in Portland the problem was that, although the police made many arrests, the "progressive" District Attorney refused to prosecute almost all of those arrested, including many arrested for assaulting police officers. And the Mayor, who is in direct control of the police dept, would not let the police in any way impede the demonstrations despite the fact that these were occurring during the pandemic when masks and social distancing were required in all public places by ordinance. So the Portland Police were not permitted to do their job of maintaining order and public safety because the demonstrators and their "cause" were approved of by the progressive Portland political establishment. I say all this as a lifelong Democrat who is disgusted by the refusal of the "progressive" Democratic establishment in Portland to maintain public order in 2020.
as weird as it sounds, that is actually an accurate description of what's happening.
these governments are tyrannically enforcing anarchy and if you don't like it the cops come round to take you away for trying to keep your own culture.
Yeah and the crazy just gets crazier. It’ll all eventually boil over into a social Revolution that leaves ppl dead in the streets.
I may get flagged just for saying that. The thought police are listening carefully even now. Funny how it’s okay to incite violence as long as it’s against the “right” ppl.
That would be of course ppl who are generally right of center politically. If you’re far right you’re already on a watch list if they haven’t arrested you. These fools on the left fail to grasp that the beast they have created will eventually devour them too. Evil is cannibalistic. This is an evil time, right is wrong, having national pride is a danger to your country, boys are girls and vice versa, child porn is part of elementary school curriculum, Judeo-Christian values are dangerous and evil, etc. etc
Youth in the western world are spoiled selfish brats, so thin skinned that they need safe spaces when they even hear something they deem offensive
which is pretty much everything.
Most don’t know what a hard days work is and their schools are too busy indoctrinating them to teach stuff like math, science or honest history. The grievance driven mind set has highjacked and rewritten history to justify their grievences.
China is not the big bad of this whole story. Nor is Iran or Saudi Arabia, nor is Russia, nor the treasonous US Administration, nor the cowardly woke globocorps and the hedgefunds that own them.
All of these are seriously daunting, all of these are grave threats to Liberty, Goodness, Peace, and Truth. This axis of evil is real (though fractious) that much is true. But the Big Bad is Satan. The Enemy. The Prince of this World.
Unbeknownst to the scurrilous schemers and prideful tyrants in all of these camps, all the vain plots, dripping hatred, and manifestations of evil they conjure- they are really peddling the agenda of one whom they do not see, even as their hands work as his own. Satan is the Big Bad. Christ is the Good King. These are the two teams that exist in planet earth, and sleepers snooze on this reality at their own temporal and eternal peril.
“Those who are not against me are for me”
And
“Those who are not for me are against me”
Two Teams, two Masters, who are we gonna serve America?
Just my take! Hope you dont mind the theatrics! God bless!
That’s my fear as well. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before my door is kicked in and my bank account is frozen simply for expressing dissatisfaction with the Biden admin through social media.
Well we’re not. They’ve successfully used the J6 prisoners as political pawns, treating them as they see fit with impunity. The hundreds of 2020 rioters who actually did destroy peoples lives, federal property and cause physical harm and death were given a pass while the media STILL repeats the completely debunked lies that Capitol police were killed. The only unjust killing out of the whole fiasco was the unnecessary shooting of Ashli Babbitt (apologies if I misspelled her name). Hunting down anyone they could find who might have had anything to do with it was off the charts bonkers. They seriously used having a Lego reconstruction of the Capitol as evidence! That’s as silly as throwing a kid out of school for biting off a poptart into the form of a gun in the cafeteria. That actually happened though I can’t recall where.
We are lost but I can’t encourage anyone enough to hang onto faith. It’s one thing that cannot be taken away. I hope I would have the courage to face death before renouncing it.
Mackey was sentenced to 7 months in prison. (He may well have faced a possible 10 years.) The length of his sentence is irrelevant because the principle of imprisoning someone for creating a meme is now established.
Yes. Conversely we'll see the emergence of a "benevolent" autocrat. A Pinochetan complete with helicopter tours of the litorales. At that point I'll be in danger for speaking up for the misguided leftists because as we all know, no good deed goes unpunished.
Churchill, who was ridiculed by the same ruling class that minimized the menace of Hitler and then wanted to cut a deal with him. Churchill, who well understood the menace of Islam. Churchill,, the savior of humankind in the 20th Century whose bust was removed from the White House by the same moral midget and poseur that spews lies about the moral equivalence of Israel and the phony "Palestinians" and urges aid to Hamas. That Churchill? Whether Churchill or Henry V, some brave voice is needed to galvanize the British people to retake their homeland.
The globalists who are the patron saints of the evil one, are the poison in the well. They are the haughty who are above all else, or so they believe. Like Obama, who ridicules Christian whites who hold fast to both their faith and our constitution. They are not the enemy to black Americans. Real Christian’s (of any color) have the love Christ had for his fellow man.
Christ, who was not white and an observant Hebrew, taught us to BE the love of God, give forgiveness and be brave unto death. I know many have done just the opposite in the name of Yeshua but that does not invalidate what he preached. Even good pastors are human and are therefore fallible.
The institution of the RCC became corrupted beyond all recognition yet there have been faithful followers within that have course corrected to a degree. Now this new pope is taking them back to corruption.
The point is that this world will pass away. If not soon then it will later. It is written and therefore as good as done. That doesn’t mean that those who believe should pack it up, give up and stay home, curtains drawn. If anything it is more important than ever that the truth of the messiah is told.
Yeshua has already triumphed over Satan, who is bitter and wants to take as many souls hostage that he can. The global elite cannot see this as they are blind in ignorance and self centered egoism. They will face the same judge we all will. It won’t be some corrupted judge who seeks to write his own version of the law but a righteous judge who will judge according to his word.
Until then we must fight the good fight, it is against the forces of darkness and not people per se.
It's really not the social justice mobs at universities that make my blood chill and fear for the future (although they do) it's more the reality that in a free liberal country like the UK the police can show up at the door, for something someone heard you say.

Without cultural protections legal protections will inevitably fail.

Loved your post LP beware the knock on the door, you are sprouting hate speech
Obama's statement, suggesting some sort of moral equivalence, was appalling.
No one has done more to unleash anti-Semitism in this country than Obama. And I voted for him twice.
Obama is an empty suit and you voted for him twice. He was the golfer in chief.
In the same sort of way I'm suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome by virtue of recognizing him for the opportunist griffter that he is. Both sides throw around these silly labels that don't really say very much more than 'I don't like you'.
A lot of Jews may hate him (I don't), but if they don't vote for him in 2024, they are voting for their doom.
Aren't they all opportunistic grifters? The ever senile Joe runs his own crime family.
You have a point there.
Yeah, but I usually keep it covered with a hat.
Obama said "We are complicit." Watch this video. It bears out what I just posted:

Right. Anarchy. No tyranny involved.
The tyranny comes in other domains of life. Internet censorship, being fired from your job, banning things like gas cars and gas stoves. School indoctrination being ramped up. Shutting down businesses, constantly raising taxes including on things like income and gasoline. Thats the tyranny on the law-abiding citizen, while lawlessness is fully allowed for ne’er-do-wells.

Thats why people call it Anarcho-Tyranny

Anybody who hates on another person just because of race, ethnicity or religion IS a bigot.
I wasn’t raised that way. My parents were very welcoming ppl and we had different black ppl living in our house in the 60’s. Some of our neighbors were southern rednecks who shunned us for it. We didn’t care.
The only kind of person I just can’t stand is mean ppl.
Yes! I live in Portland. The street level windows of some downtown Portland bldgs are still boarded up from the over 140 consecutive nights of demonstrations that included many acts of arson. But in Portland the problem was that, although the police made many arrests, the "progressive" District Attorney refused to prosecute almost all of those arrested, including many arrested for assaulting police officers. And the Mayor, who is in direct control of the police dept, would not let the police in any way impede the demonstrations despite the fact that these were occurring during the pandemic when masks and social distancing were required in all public places by ordinance. So the Portland Police were not permitted to do their job of maintaining order and public safety because the demonstrators and their "cause" were approved of by the progressive Portland political establishment. I say all this as a lifelong Democrat who is disgusted by the refusal of the "progressive" Democratic establishment in Portland to maintain public order in 2020.
as weird as it sounds, that is actually an accurate description of what's happening.
these governments are tyrannically enforcing anarchy and if you don't like it the cops come round to take you away for trying to keep your own culture.
Yeah and the crazy just gets crazier. It’ll all eventually boil over into a social Revolution that leaves ppl dead in the streets.
I may get flagged just for saying that. The thought police are listening carefully even now. Funny how it’s okay to incite violence as long as it’s against the “right” ppl.
That would be of course ppl who are generally right of center politically. If you’re far right you’re already on a watch list if they haven’t arrested you. These fools on the left fail to grasp that the beast they have created will eventually devour them too. Evil is cannibalistic. This is an evil time, right is wrong, having national pride is a danger to your country, boys are girls and vice versa, child porn is part of elementary school curriculum, Judeo-Christian values are dangerous and evil, etc. etc
Youth in the western world are spoiled selfish brats, so thin skinned that they need safe spaces when they even hear something they deem offensive
which is pretty much everything.
Most don’t know what a hard days work is and their schools are too busy indoctrinating them to teach stuff like math, science or honest history. The grievance driven mind set has highjacked and rewritten history to justify their grievences.
Marx would be proud.
I’m sure God isn’t.
There’s only one way this will end.
BADLY.
China is not the big bad of this whole story. Nor is Iran or Saudi Arabia, nor is Russia, nor the treasonous US Administration, nor the cowardly woke globocorps and the hedgefunds that own them.
All of these are seriously daunting, all of these are grave threats to Liberty, Goodness, Peace, and Truth. This axis of evil is real (though fractious) that much is true. But the Big Bad is Satan. The Enemy. The Prince of this World.
Unbeknownst to the scurrilous schemers and prideful tyrants in all of these camps, all the vain plots, dripping hatred, and manifestations of evil they conjure- they are really peddling the agenda of one whom they do not see, even as their hands work as his own. Satan is the Big Bad. Christ is the Good King. These are the two teams that exist in planet earth, and sleepers snooze on this reality at their own temporal and eternal peril.
“Those who are not against me are for me”
And
“Those who are not for me are against me”
Two Teams, two Masters, who are we gonna serve America?
Just my take! Hope you dont mind the theatrics! God bless!
Nope. They're trying to create a one-insult-fits-all but as you demonstrate it does not work.
Or maybe it's an effort to come up with a term that basically means "mob rule" but sounds more impressive, so it's taken more seriously.
(I'm a philosopher, so I know well how that trick works. I try to avoid doing it, as plain language is *always* more effective.)
That’s my fear as well. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before my door is kicked in and my bank account is frozen simply for expressing dissatisfaction with the Biden admin through social media.
It happened to the Canadian truckers. Can the US be far behind?
Well we’re not. They’ve successfully used the J6 prisoners as political pawns, treating them as they see fit with impunity. The hundreds of 2020 rioters who actually did destroy peoples lives, federal property and cause physical harm and death were given a pass while the media STILL repeats the completely debunked lies that Capitol police were killed. The only unjust killing out of the whole fiasco was the unnecessary shooting of Ashli Babbitt (apologies if I misspelled her name). Hunting down anyone they could find who might have had anything to do with it was off the charts bonkers. They seriously used having a Lego reconstruction of the Capitol as evidence! That’s as silly as throwing a kid out of school for biting off a poptart into the form of a gun in the cafeteria. That actually happened though I can’t recall where.
We are lost but I can’t encourage anyone enough to hang onto faith. It’s one thing that cannot be taken away. I hope I would have the courage to face death before renouncing it.
Exactly.
Or jailed for 10 years like Doug Mackey, for sharing a HRC meme!
Mackey was sentenced to 7 months in prison. (He may well have faced a possible 10 years.) The length of his sentence is irrelevant because the principle of imprisoning someone for creating a meme is now established.
We have the first amendment...at least for now. Britain does not.
I think the first amendment is on life support. Just read Matti Taibi and other Twitter file coverage.
True enough. But I can still say there are two genders without the police coming to arrest me. Unlike in Britain.
We have a wafer thing edge on our friends across the pond. Mostly this is a problem of the west. I don’t expect any Asian countries are woke.
Yes. Conversely we'll see the emergence of a "benevolent" autocrat. A Pinochetan complete with helicopter tours of the litorales. At that point I'll be in danger for speaking up for the misguided leftists because as we all know, no good deed goes unpunished.
What happened to the British lions and the spirit of Agincourt? Take back your country. It's worth it.
Agincourt? That was like 600 years ago. I'd settle for Churchill.
Well if authorities today are going to act as the tyrants of old, maybe some courage and strength of old is in order of reviving.
Churchill, who was ridiculed by the same ruling class that minimized the menace of Hitler and then wanted to cut a deal with him. Churchill, who well understood the menace of Islam. Churchill,, the savior of humankind in the 20th Century whose bust was removed from the White House by the same moral midget and poseur that spews lies about the moral equivalence of Israel and the phony "Palestinians" and urges aid to Hamas. That Churchill? Whether Churchill or Henry V, some brave voice is needed to galvanize the British people to retake their homeland.
Yeah that Churchill
The globalists who are the patron saints of the evil one, are the poison in the well. They are the haughty who are above all else, or so they believe. Like Obama, who ridicules Christian whites who hold fast to both their faith and our constitution. They are not the enemy to black Americans. Real Christian’s (of any color) have the love Christ had for his fellow man.
Christ, who was not white and an observant Hebrew, taught us to BE the love of God, give forgiveness and be brave unto death. I know many have done just the opposite in the name of Yeshua but that does not invalidate what he preached. Even good pastors are human and are therefore fallible.
The institution of the RCC became corrupted beyond all recognition yet there have been faithful followers within that have course corrected to a degree. Now this new pope is taking them back to corruption.
The point is that this world will pass away. If not soon then it will later. It is written and therefore as good as done. That doesn’t mean that those who believe should pack it up, give up and stay home, curtains drawn. If anything it is more important than ever that the truth of the messiah is told.
Yeshua has already triumphed over Satan, who is bitter and wants to take as many souls hostage that he can. The global elite cannot see this as they are blind in ignorance and self centered egoism. They will face the same judge we all will. It won’t be some corrupted judge who seeks to write his own version of the law but a righteous judge who will judge according to his word.
Until then we must fight the good fight, it is against the forces of darkness and not people per se.
Peace to you all.
