You're the Nazi

Some time ago I wrote about the stunning and regrettable debacle that the world had spun itself into following the outbreak of COVID-19. The cost, the farce, the lies, the infringement on civil liberty; all for the "good" of octogenarians in Brighton and wherever else to live out their final few weeks in a dimly-lit, virus-free, hostel propped up by me and thee. Well, actually I was only 12 when it kicked off, but you get the point - it cost me and millions of other kids two years of education.

The lessons we learn from history are valuable ones, purely because they generally reflect a seemingly in-built tendency for the human race to not learn them. The case in point being COVID-19: as soon as the virus came knocking, we demanded the government step-in, help out the little guy and surrender the liberties of everyone for the safety of a few. We accepted the science and the measures taken to shut us up and stop the basic functionings of a society. As a society, when push came to shove, we accepted what the general consensus said.

Just as many did with the now deceased Charlie Kirk. Because he was passed off by many as a so-called "nazi" (who welcomed free and fair debate) people completely disregarded his views and his rhetoric. Not only that, the many who disagreed with him despised his entire being and threw vitriol his way - "bigot", "transphobe", "far-right" and whatnot. For the many cheering his demise, the labelling paid off in the end.

Hence, here are some of the tales that have arisen from the reaction:

"Office Depot fires employee for refusing to print Charlie Kirk posters, calling them ‘propaganda'"

Plus, Bob Vylan has made a new appearance since wishing death on the entire Israeli Defence Force at Glastonbury:

"Welcome to this week on Let's Give Death A Shot with Bob Vylan, your local Home Depot employee and a third of Harvard undergrads:"

The above cases reveal something stark. Your everyday fellow citizen, or maybe even neighbour, would happily resort to violence if it meant silencing a view which they don't agree with. It could be a Home Depot worker, a fan of Bob Vylans or a student at an Ivy League University. You wouldn't know - that's the scary part.

This is the full-blown manifestation of Yuri Bezmenov's prognostication: ideological subversion has been happening for years and this is how it ends - death. Whether we are in demoralisation, destabilisation, crisis or even normalisation is up for your interpretation. Bezmenov was ahead of his time though; he saw it in '84 when no one else did - now (nearly) all of us can.

As time goes on, more and more do we realise that there is no longer a so called "left" and "right". For more significant tiffs are occurring: There's good guys who will listen to you and respectfully disagree; and bad guys who want to kill you for what you say. This is also a fight for the English language. If people keep labelling those on "the other side" as (insert libel here) they'll be a million and a half other Charlie Kirks who wind up shot. To make the point as black and white as it could possibly be: Assassinating people because of an opinion is exactly what the Nazis did.

Lest we forget what the Nazis did, everyday employees of HM government are recreating it (excuse the poor language):

Sure, those nanny-state workers high-vizzed to the kilt aren't transporting citizens to death camps or installing government issued propaganda, but they are sure as hell engaging in the same kind of cultural and moral suicide that went on in the '30s. At least the audibly outraged man can go to the grave knowing that he at least tried to stop the anti-British onslaught. He's one of the outliers. If you're ordered to take flags of your own country down by your own rotten state and you blithely go along with it, you're part of the problem. As the state thinks: If you go along with what we do: you're in the gang; if you don't, as the Mayor of London posits: you're...(here it comes) "far-right". As Dominick Frisby notes - "We're all far-right now".

The only thing I could think to end on is this small clip with Jordan Peterson. Here's something to sleep on:

A cogent reminder for us all.
