Here’s
the thing.
What
is the biggest issue these days In the animal rights world?
Halal
butchery.
What are the biggest issues in Women’s rights?
Female
genital mutilation of 170,000 British women, “honour” killings, Muslim treatment
of women, gender selective abortions.
What’s
the biggest threat to birds?
Wind
Turbines
How
do we reduce CO2 emissions?
Nuclear
energy and fracking.
What’s
the best news in decades for anyone distressed by the millions killed by
tobacco?
E-cigarettes.
I’m
confused.
Why
don’t we hear a peep out of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (RSPCA) about halal slaughter?
Why
is the sisterhood silent on all the great issues facing women?
When
a typical wind turbine kills between 100 and 900 birds a year according to which study
you read, why does the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) support wind turbines and even have them
erected in its reserves?
Why
are the global warmists not excited by the 15% fall in US CO2 emissions
resulting from shale gas exploitation, but rather have opposed it tooth and
nail?
Why
are anti-tobacco campaigners so against e-cigarettes when there seems every
likelihood that they are totally harmless?
As
Hamlet mused in similar confusion;
“’Sblood, there is something
in this more than natural, if philosophy could find it out.”
So,
let’s try and find it out.
First
things first. We need to find some common factor that could explain how so many
seemingly diverse people could be led to utterly betray the causes to which
they devote their lives.
Suggestions
below.
My
own Great Unifying Theory to explain these many seemingly unconnected instances of
idiocy is that it has something to do with socialism. This is for the simple
reason that as far as you are able to check, the vast majority of the activists
behind these groups are of a lefty bent.
Well observed.
ReplyDeleteThe animal right activists surprise me. They are the same ones who don't have a problem splattering paint on fur wearers, but they won't touch halal slaughter which is so cruel to animals.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend and I may be in the minority, but we're both pro-animal welfare AND committed Islamophobes (in fact, the local George Galloway admirer purposefully avoids us - a blessing, I can assure you). Also, my gf hasn't bought into the 'racism' double-think regarding criticism of mohammedanism. In her eyes, misogyny trumps 'racism' regardless of whether the misogynists wear weird beards or cite 'legitimate grievances' etc etc...
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the fact that we're both attuned to our own aggression and can therefore see through the passive-aggressive tactics of the religionists of pieces (a severed head here, an incised clitoris there) and their post-colonial guilt pimp little helpers? Then again, I have to admit that our position could be nothing more than the logical result of equal opportunities misanthropy.
