Shush now...

Jeez it’s hard work not having the time to blog, but sometimes you have to make the effort and take a stand. There is a war being waged under the hashtag #takebackTwitter as a variety of the usual suspects tries to impose its will on the majority. Under the guise of taking action against abuse they are, it seems, engaged in deliberately attracting such abuse then breaking Twitter rules by inviting their followers to mass-block and report spam to get accounts suspended.

There are laws against making threats. But there are also laws against entrapment. And laws against wasting police time. There should also be laws against whipping up fantasy realities to further causes that are ultimately about restricting the few social freedoms we have left. Thus to be concerned about the policy of unchecked immigration to deliberately erode our national character is deemed racist. To be concerned that we employ cheap foreign labour while leaving our own population uneducated is xenophobic. And now, to say anything that offends any individual, even by accident is to attract some label they have yet to dream up and to become a criminal offence.

What the Feminazis don’t seem to realise is that after a generation of men being cowed into believing they are second-class citizens, designed to rape and objectify women, for which every man must atone forever, the sexes were rubbing along pretty well together. Because, after New Labour poured accelerant on the flames of that particular fire it had all become a bit of a joke and even a majority of women thought the feminist cause had gone too far.

But hey, I’m not writing bout feminism or any other ‘ism’ here, I’m writing about this ridiculous notion that the louder you shout the ‘righter’ you are. The huge majority of Twitter users are not there to campaign for or against anything at all. Heard the phrase ‘social media’? But there are plenty of users backing causes and expressing ideas which might not be to everybody’s taste. And then there is a minority of childish, possibly deranged people out there who seek out opportunities to go too far.

Have you thought, ladies, that you might actually be guilty of provoking the mentally unstable to expose themselves and risk unnecessary harm? Or that you are inadvertently putting fear in the hearts of users who no longer see Twitter as harmless communication but a cesspit of threats, lurking and waiting to pounce on the slightest transgression. Because, without a thought for other people the relentless pursuit of various agendas, all of which originate from a leftist stance you believe is inherently a thing for good, you are bringing about Orwell’s prophecy, sure as eggs is eggs:

“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.”

So, carry on with your shrill protesting by all means. Rage against this, rail against that, march all you wish. I don’t care. It’s not my war and I’m not your enemy – I never have been - but I sure as shit am looking forward to your proposed Internet boycott on the 4^th August. I hope it's successful - then maybe the peaceful majority might get a moment’s respite from your constant oppression.


4th August UPDATE:
Well, today is the day and it appears that, for iPhone users at least, a new 'Report Tweet' option has been added which appears worldwide. Now, all you have to do if you are offended is to click on that and an armed squad will immediately storm the home of the perpetrator of your outrage, stamp on the baby's head, repeatedly rape any females present and incarcerate the hateful troll in a regime that includes a daily buggering by a battery of burly Beefeaters. Nothing less would suffice to satisfy the frothing and baying for blood that daily emanates - but not today, hopefully - from the serried ranks of left-wing apologists for humanity.

Just think how much blood and treasure we could have saved if we simply hadn't bothered with the two World Wars?
