Cut out the Literally Hitler Hysteria

Darwinist Survivalism - I wonder if anyone can guess where this comes from:
"Any final remnant that survives will doubtless consist of the elements most capable of resistance. They must be dealt with appropriately, since, representing the fruit of natural selection, they are to be regarded as the core of a new Jewish revival.”

Hysteria indeed. MK be a clue?

Milton Keynes???

thatbags thank you thank you thank you. Only a couple of days ago the OH and I were having a conversation about this and I remember saying: there has to be a word for what I'm feeling Re the Brexit vote.
All the 'experts' kept saying I voted to leave because of this that and the other and I knew that they were wrong. The feeling was so strong but I didn't have a word or meaning, and now I do. So happy.

I'm not sure waiting for tricia to get back

And now, every time someone keeps demanding why 'we' voted in the way 'we' did, I can direct her to this article, simples

Good article thatbags, I remember seeing black writer Dreda Say Mitchell on QT arguing the case for Brexit along the lines of most of her family were working class, didn't care about "no borders Europe" the younger members weren't likely to take week-end breaks in Milan or Barcelona any time soon, they just wanted a job. Similary some in settled Asian communities, probably 3rd generation, can be quite vociferous in their attitudes as to stricter rules on immigration, because they know their communities are likely to be squeezed.

Some c'lebs go completely over the top when they don't get t result they want at the polling booth. Long before Brexit when the Conservatives won the General Election in 2015, warbler Lily Allen's Twitter feed declared something along the lines of, "I need to move abroad I can't live under fascism". It seems she didn't learn enough at her posh school to make the distinction between a centre right party and a totalitarian dictatorship, where citizens can just disappear for any form of dissent.

Anyway unfortunately for us reedy voiced Lily didn't go abroad so we are still stuck with her although she does pop up from time to time to let us know what she thinks of this government, usually with tears in her eyes, which not only gives her the opportunity to demonstrate what a caring person she is by wiping her tears away which simultaneously allows everyone to see how fabulous her nails are. Double result!

Jeremy Clarkson pointed out in The Sunday Times at the week-end, whilst alluding to Brexit and Trup "It's going to get worse because the more we continue to ram political correctness, cycle lanes etc. down eveyone's throats in northern heartlands, the more they'll think "why don't you sod off you southern poofs" He suggests that as Westminster is to be refurbished, that Mps could meet somewhere else say Hartlepool, because he is of the opinion "after a while in the former steel town they might understand in the great scheme of things, Eddie Izzard's right to wear a pink beret is not that important"

Trump wouldn't be my choice, but I do think there are a lot of people in public life who need to get a sense of proportion and stop labling others who don't vote the way they would, fascists and racists.

And here, for contrast with the guy in the first video are the calm and measured tones of Sam Harris's podcast, "Dismantling Donald Trump and why he won".

OK tricia is it Mein Kampf? I know he claimed to base a lot if his arguments on what he described as social Darwinism. Probably wrong.

So everything is ticketty boo in laa laa land. Oh good.

Oh that is a relief whitewave, Milton Keynes has many faults but I didn't think Hitler was one of them.

No, it's from the Wannsee Conference, when the Final Solution was discussed.

Thanks dd I recognised it as something along those lines.

Good post, TerriBull.

rofl

and does anyone want to tell Gary Lineker to use a football as a gobstopper please?

I can think for myself without some sleb telling me what I should think whilst crying crocodile tears.

But Hitler didn't look like Hitler when Hitler was elected did he? He didn't put the final solution on his manifesto.

That's right, DaphneD.
I came across the subject recently on another forum.

Good article bags and good post TerriBull made me smile.

A lot of women may be about to lose their right to control their own bodies, that's not something to sneer at.

Abortion may be banned in some states, that is incredibly backward, controlling and misogynist but hey ho, so long as you can all have a giggle at the young lad who can't spell. All about priorities isn't it.

Especially Eddie Izzards right to wear a pink beret.

I really recommend Harris's podcast.

No one's sneering, LumpySpacedPrincess.

The thing is he did. Mein Kamph is not ambiguous. It is all there. All if it. But people didn't read it. Chose to ignore it. Made excuses. And voted in a man who began to erode civil liberties the moment he gained power and went on to try and do everything he had promised destroying much of the world as he did it.

And people laughed at those who opposed his election and jeered at those who pointed out inconsistencies.

Sorry that was meant as a reaponse to lumpyspacedprincess
