This time next week we’ll know the outcome of the Swedish general

It has been weaponised in such a way that anyone addressing a subject that has any racial element in a way that puts non-white people in a bad light is routinely called racist, dismissed and ostracised. Thus it has simply become a means whereby non-white people are rendered exempt from criticism.

Point out that violent crime is disproportionately perpetrated by black youths? Racist.
Point out that Child Sexual Exploitation is overwhelmingly perpetrated by muslim men of Pakistani origin? Racist.
Raise a concern that the number of prosecutions for FGM remains at zero? Racist.
Question why the Notting Hill Carnival continues to be allowed despite rampant criminality and the need for 7,000 police? Racist.

Etc, etc, etc.

Racism's descent into a meaningless blanket term has been part of a very deliberate strategy to avoid the asking of awkward questions about race.

Disagreeing with policies of the Israeli Government - racist.

You can't say anything these days.

Thing is, there is ample scope for questioning the policies of Israel without supporting the murderers of Jews, making thinly-veiled statements about ‘zionists’ and supporting calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. The lines are pretty clear.

How similar in character are these two quotes, would you say? Without looking them up.

"Always before god and the world the stronger has the right to carry through what he wills. ... The whole of nature is a mighty struggle between strength and weakness, an eternal victory of the strong over the weak."

"The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong, for good or for ill, survive. The strong are respected, and alliances are made with the strong, and in the end peace is made with the strong."

I know who both quotes are from. How similar would you say these two quotes are? One’s Hitler, one’s Marx. Does that make them the same?


“Since we are socialists, we must necessarily also be antisemites because we want to fight against the very opposite: materialism and mammonism… How can you not be an antisemite, being a socialist!”

“What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money… Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man — and turns them into commodities. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.”

I prefer Capones version. Less waffle.

"You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone".
