This amusing tweetstorm from England brings up some disturbing trends in Social Justice Warfare. This time it’s actually the police involved. Warning: This twitter tweetstorm contains profanity.
Harry the Owl (Twitter Handle) – I am stunned, shocked, upset, aghast and fuming. Just had Inspector Wilson from @Humberbeat call me about a complaint.
Me: Did I commit a crime?
Him: No. But you have upset a lot of people in the trans community
Him: Why would you tweet that? Why do you feel the need?
Me: Because I am taking part in a national conversation.
Him: But why do you feel the need to do that?
Me: Because I am a citizen and believe political engagement is necessary. Why are you asking me this
Me: I can’t believe you, a police inspector,
Him: You do have the right. I’m just asking why you feel the need to engage in hate.
Me: Hate? Where’s the fucking hate?
Him: Maybe it’s the wrong wording.
Me: you are a fucking Inspector. You do not get to tell me that expressing a legally held view is hate. And you don’t get to pressure me to stop debating politically.
Him: If you swear, I will end this conversation.
Me: Ok. But I’m angry that you are ringing me and asking me why I’d want to be involved in politics.
Him: You have every right to be involved in politics. But why would you tweet your views when it upsets the trans community?
Me: let me get this straight. I said I do not believe trans women are women, and you ask me why I feel the need to tweet that. Right?
Him: Right. Exactly.
Me: I am ending this conversation now.*Hangs up*

So it goes.

Of course it does – and that is the continuation of Darwinism and evolution right before our eyes.
The world what is is not the world what was, or it will not stay the same as it is right now, so in a lot of ways, the conversation above is an ephemera, something of no lasting significance, but seemingly of huge and great significance now, my God, don’t touch that subject with as ten-foot pole or you will offend someone’s feelings, and we can’t have that, we simply can’t have that, it’s not the right thing to do!
There are victims out there and we need to be very sensitive to their needs, and to be there for them, when they arrive, which reminds me of some dude from The Congo, of all places, who was in some migrant camp down in South America somewhere, and the dude was bitching to the news that nobody was there for them with food and water and shelter waiting, which made me wonder why this dude from The Congo thought that when he came to South America, there would be people waiting like slaves to serve him and fulfill his needs.
Yes, it’s a very strange world that now surrounds us – a breeding experiment gone awry, perhaps, but in the end, for whatever causative factors, it is what it now is, and it is ours to endeavor to persevere. or not and give up the ghost, because by my reckoning, we’re only now just entering the storm, and the big breakers are yet out ahead – a good time to be pondering what it means to batten down hatches.
