For anyone still unfamiliar with Pat Condell, he has been the U.K’s best known YouTube commentator on Islam & Progressive Liberalism for a number of years now. A former stand up comedian, Condell mixes a lethal cocktail of comedy and acerbic writing to tear to shreds the inconsistencies of the left when it comes to Islam. Ever wondered why feminists have nothing to say about Islam? Here’s Pat at his brutal best.
If you doubt that Cultural Marxism exists, please take a good hard look at our collective response to yet another large scale terror attack on a European capital.
If the Islamic terror attacks in Belgium have served one purpose, it is to highlight once again what a pathetic specimen Western civilization has become after decades of cultural Marxism & political correctness have ground us down to a pith of emasculated self-loathing and insecurity.
The sum total of our permissible response to yet another attack from an enemy within, and whom we continue to welcome onto our shores in increasing numbers, is to wash our social media profile picture with the relevant flag and speak of our surprise & non-specific sadness at another act of predictable violence at the hands of an enemy whose name cannot be uttered.
For anyone outside of this paradigm, this borders upon a collective mental illness of cult proportions. Our collective inability to even identify the threat means that we have little chance of addressing it, and absolutely no chance of defeating it. Which in turn inevitably leads to a state of resignation, as we have to admit that after decades of dismantling our societies from within, cultural Marxism & political correctness have left our societies unable to respond, let alone defend a civilization that has been crafted with blood and reason over a thousand years to provide a societal model that others have sought to adopt and emulate.
Teddy bears, tears, candles, cartoons, murals, mosaics, flowers, flags, projections, hashtags, balloons, wreaths, lights, vigils, scarves, and more. These are the best solutions the Western world seems to come up with every few months when we are slammed by another Islamist terrorist attack. We are our own sickness.
This is the defining feature of the Isis era: the West has the military might to fight Isis, but not the moral conviction. It has the machinery, the men, but it lacks the thing every warrior needs: a deep belief in what he’s fighting for, in this case the idea that our enlightenment values, our free, open societies, are superior to their backward way of life. We in the West agree that we hate Isis, but we don’t agree that the Western way of life is something worth defending, or even something we should be especially favourable about anymore.
Evil doesn’t give a crap about your feelings. It doesn’t care that you’re bending over backwards to not offend its sensibilities. In appeasing the Muslim terrorists on such a massive scale, you lay down your weapons before a fight, dropped to the floor and exposed your cheese and wine filled underbelly. You communicated to ISIS that not only would you not fight them, not only would you refuse to identify them for what they are – Islamic terrorist, but you’d go ten steps farther: you’d attempt to make them like you.
Islam killed those people in Brussels. The teachings of the prophet Mohammed and Saudi Arabian sponsored ideology killed those people. Without being able to say that, we are finished.
Is a sane and respectful Left-Right political dialogue even possible in the heat of America’s current election climate? Dave Rubin’s interview with Ben Shapiro says yes but in no way shies away from hard hitting opinion or straight talk.
If you hadn’t got the message yet: Donald Trump is responsible for the actions of everyone. Thump has died on the podium of indecency so that you never have to take responsibility for anything ever again.
The ‘inflammatory’ language he employs means that you never have to own your actions, or exercise any self control ever again. Because the sort of things he says are enough to make the most rational human lose their shit and behave violently.
His catalogue of future tyrannical sins have admonished those who disagree with him of any blame. People who rush the stage in an attempt to assault him should be treated as heroes because basically, Trump = Hitler.
Even though Hillary Clinton has the political rap sheet of an inner city gangbanger, and should most likely be in jail for tangible crimes, it’s Thump who is the threat.
Only in a progressive narrative could this idea be floated and sold.
Let’s be clear, and welcome back reality and rational norms already established into this equation: if you go to an opposition rally looking to ‘shut it down’, you are the instigator & aggressor. In no other area of life would this be seen as anything but. At sporting events in many countries, you will not be admitted into the opposing team’s area if organisers suspect you to be a rival supporter. It is seen as ‘inflammatory’ and aggressive; you will be ejected for engaging in such behaviour.
Contrary to popular misconception, a rally arena is not a public space, in very much the same way that an event venue of any description like a nightclub or concert is not a public space. There will be an admission policy, security and desired clientele. I have no doubt that these sort of restrictions were in place to avoid the obvious, but were circumvented by either stealth or deception.
The progressive left have all but abandoned any pretense of supporting a democratic societal model over Trump. They have made it abundantly clear that campaign rallies are a privilege reserved for those with allowable views, decided by them.
They have also made it clear that violence is a means to an end, and that judgement by the mob, whether it be via social media or the street, is the preferred method in their new world of soft-shelled totalitarian justice.
About 1,400 years ago a mentally ill illiterate desert dweller, a Jew-hater suffering from auditory hallucinations, dictated a best seller entitled “The Holy Quran”. Out of this book came a tyrannical political system and a fanatical religious ideology called Islam. The word Islam means “submission”. The Quran also produced a brutal legal system called the Sharia. Since the author of the Quran, a blood thirsty rapist, pedophile and slave owner named Muhammad, first began his homicidal mission – to force the unbeliever to submit to Islam – approximately 270,000,000 people have been killed in his name.
With a one-way ticket home to Iraq in his hands and seven months’ worth of frustration over intransigent German bureaucracy in his heart, Gazwan Abdulhasen Abdulla gave up on his dreams of a better life in Europe.
Homesick and eager to be back with his wife and four small children in Basra, Abdulla was giving up his refugee status as he boarded a crowded Iraqi Airways flight from Berlin’s Tegel Airport to Baghdad that would whisk him and 150 other disillusioned former refugees back home in five hours.
He had scraped together his last $325 for the flight to Iraq — a small fraction of the money he had paid to smugglers last summer to get to Germany by foot, bus and boat through Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and Austria.
But now, after more than 1.1 million refugees from troubled lands such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have trekked into Germany over the last 13 months, a small but growing number are heading home.
Justin Trudeau joined a seemingly endless conveyor belt of Western leaders when he publicly insisted, on more than one occasion recently that, “Islam is not incompatible with Western Secular Democracy.” Of course, it was a rather linguistically awkward way of saying that Islam is compatible with Western Secular Democracy.
As we have pointed out before, anyone who makes such a statement is either ignorant or lying. Islamic scholars & political philosophers alike refute this claim, even Islamists themselves reject this statement – Sharia is the law of Allah, and all other man made systems of law are a contemptible fraud.
Or as political philosopher, Roger Scruton puts it in The West and the Rest:
‘Islamic jurisprudence does not recognise secular, still less territorial, jurisdiction as a genuine source of law. It proposes a universal law that is the single path (shari`) to salvation. And the shari`a is not understood as setting limits to what can be commanded, but as a fully comprehensive system of commands- which can serve a military just as well as a civilian function. Nor does Islam recognise the state as an independent object of loyalty. Obedience is owed first to God… Nor is there any trace in Islamic law of the secular concept of government that Christianity inherited (via St. Paul) from Roman law.`
Politically & philosophically Islam is incompatible with Western Secular Democracy – the systems are simply incompatible on the most fundamental of levels. The jury is not out, nor is there an argument that can be made to the contrary that stands the test of scrutiny or challenge.
‘Islam has always been not just a religion in the Western sense, but a political and social system that acknowledges no legitimate distinction between the sacred and the secular realms, and mandates religious law as the only legitimate system of law and governance.’
Robert Spencer
Giving leaders like Trudeau, Merkel & Obama the benefit on this matter requires us to forgive them for their poor understanding of what the Koran actual contains and what sort of system Islam is. The only other option is to presume they are lying for the sake of a politically nefarious agenda.
It looks like Thump is going all the way, and the panic amongst Neo-Cons, the Liberal Left and establishment media alike is palpable.
Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
The class war is already underway and the petit bourgeois media is clueless.
The pundits are outraged by Trump’s success as a candidate because in their blindered view of the political/economic landscape, he shouldn’t be successful and so something is amiss with the Universe.
The typical bourgeois mainstream media pundit is confused and alarmed by Donald Trump’s ascendancy. The typical pundit is a member of the petit bourgeois who has zero contact with the working class in America, other than saying “hello” to his/her auto mechanic, hair salon employee, etc.
Age of Shitlords might have launched out of the slightly troll-ish meme-based Shit Tumblr Says Facebook page, but they’re starting to develop into interesting analysists of PC culture. Here’s their take on the Ke$ha vs. Dr. Luke controversy:
Dr Lukes legal team assert that her claims, contrary to her earlier testimony given under oath, are simply a bid to defame him and extort from him an early release from her contract. Sony have offered Kesha a different producer to work with, in light of her allegations, but she has declined this offer and stated that regardless of the offer, her music would not be promoted unless she continued working with Dr Luke and later even amended her lawsuit to include Sony as co-defendants in her claim stating that they have failed to investigate her allegations into his conduct when they are supposedly obligated to do so. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is the job of police to investigate criminal allegations, not the responsibility of the employer, who does have a certain interest in the public image of their employees, however not to the extent that they are to operate outside of the framework provided by the legal system and informally convict one of their employees of sexual assault without the involvement of the authorities. That’s just the thing though, no complaint has been made to law enforcement to date, despite an unnamed source close to Kesha stating that she has available to her medical records that support her being roofied and raped.
Gavin McInnes on the latest buffonery from Kanye West:
Why does Kanye get a pass? He is an endless fountain of comedy. It doesn’t make sense for a free-market economy to deny ourselves this relentless source of joy. He doesn’t have Down syndrome. He has Ridiculously Funny syndrome.
West’s prepubescent views on everything Kanye haven’t stopped over the past decade, but everyone is too scared to mock him because he’s black and they don’t want to be called racist. He’s aware of this, so when his clothing line fails he says it’s because people were too “racist” to buy his stuff (this from a guy who gets to wear the Confederate flag on his bomber jacket). His clothing line was made up of people wearing brown nylons and strange “skin-colored” sweatshirts that looked like they were made out of Nazi lampshades. We recently learned that this foolish mistake put him $53 million in the hole and he took to social media to beg Mark Zuckerberg to bail him out to the tune of $1 billion. No word yet on why you get to be $947 million in the black when you screw up that badly.
McInnes also talks about why everyone’s so afraid to call an idiot an idiot.
