America has long been a beacon of freedom to the oppressed, a shining symbol of liberty with – as our leftist friends tell us – an unlimited moral obligation to provide perpetual shelter to anyone who suffers at the hands of their government. Millions of people from around the world have ignored that irritating asylum requirement that you apply at the first country you reach and have come all the way over here to America in a quest to quench their yearning for being free (as well as their yearning to turn our country into the same kind of garbage hellhole they allegedly fled from, but that’s another column). And we need to keep this proud tradition alive by offering political asylum to the growing list of victims of oppression by the socialist technocratic globalist bureaucracies that rule Europe.
And also Canada, which is well on the way to becoming a maple-flavored dictatorship.
We’re told we need to oppose Putin because he punishes his people for speaking, because he disenfranchises his people, and because he sends hundreds of thousands of his people off to die in wars. But so does Europe. In Europe, you can be jailed for saying things. It sounds barbaric, and it is, but they spiff it up. See, it’s not violating the right of free speech when they jail you for speaking. You have the right of free speech. But not hate speech, which they will define as any speech that undermines the prerogatives of the ruling class. For example, you can be upset about the ruling class importing millions of Third World peasants to displace you culturally and economically – and rape your daughters and sisters – but you can’t say anything about it. That’s hate speech.
Oh, and say goodbye to jury trials and also let’s allow magistrates to sentence people to two years in jail with no right to appeal. Democracy is far too important to be allowed to be put at risk by allowing democracy. The largest parties in Britain, France, and Germany are effectively banned. The other parties cut them out of any ability to affect policy, the regime media – the BBC is literally the media of the regime – slanders them as tools of that mean Putin guy for not caring enough about faraway Ukraine and cuts off their access to the public debate, while the government spies on and even arrests the leaders.
Which is what Putin does, but this is different because reasons and you must love Putin and also shut up. Britain is Russia without the borscht and babushkas – except in Russia they no longer persecute the victims harder than the criminals.
That’s not all – now, you proles need to shut up and sign up. Falling back on the oldest trick in the book for failing tyrants, war fever is gripping the Euroweenies. Putin’s coming! Pretty soon, his people will be piling into boats and crossing the Channel to invade England, much like the Third World hordes are currently doing. The difference is…wait, what’s the difference again?
Expanding on my series of tweets that really irritated the leftist Brit warmongers, let’s examine what is perhaps their greatest atrocity because it will get people killed – but only select people. They now mean to enlist those troublesome native Brits, with their wicked nationalism, pale, pasty skin, and tendency to vote in unapproved ways when given a choice (choosing between Labour and the alleged Conservatives is like picking between syphilis and chlamydia – one’s worse but you don’t want either). Native brits are, not surprisingly, unthrilled about the opportunity to ruck up, move out, and get blasted by a drone in some Donbas ditch. The idea that young British men – specifically the white working class ones the ruling class so utterly despises – are going to sign up to go fight Russia for Ukraine is hilarious. But that’s who the ruling classes need – those Third World migrants sure aren’t, and to send them would be to undermine the long-term goal of replacing the cannon fodder.
This applies to other countries too, with Germany looking at conscription and France being, well, France, but let’s focus on the Brits. This is a lesson in how the left skin-suits an institution (in this case, European governments), demands respect, and finds that it receives none. These are the same young men who have been told they, their country, and their culture are garbage for the last 20 years. Racist, sexist, transphobic – you know the score. When they dare complain about their communities being changed without their consent, they get slandered. When foreign invaders rape their sisters and daughters, the ruling class covers it up. If they take action, or even speak about it, they will be jailed. Yeah, I bet they’re just chomping at the bit to go get killed at the behest of their tormentors.
The fun has already begun. They have balked at sacrificing their lives for other people‘s prerogatives – again, other people who hate them and have screwed with them for decades – so now they are getting accused of lacking patriotism. That is, patriotism to the same country that the ruling class taught them was a racist, imperialist nightmare of illegitimacy. Native Brits can’t even wave their own flag in public without being mocked and threatened, yet now the same people crying about them posting the colors demand that they fill a coffin under that same banner.
“Hey, let’s you and him go fight in Ukraine!”
Everyone knows what you’re not going to see. It’s the sons and daughters of the people proposing to send them off to fight joining them in the trenches. You’re not going to see the posh boys who benefit from the wonderful multicultural cornucopia that is 2025 Britain join the Royal Army. Cambridge and Oxford are not going to be sending any of their special snowflakes. Those lives are too important to waste in some Slavic quagmire. No, the fighting is to be done by the people the ruling class holds in contempt. Their lives are meaningless anyway. The British fortunate sons will be in Ibiza dancing alongside the Ukrainian fortunate sons. The Brit unfortunate sons will be in Ukraine alongside the Ukrainian unfortunate sons who couldn’t buy or fly their way out of the draft.
Conscription is coming soon, but we’re still at the persuasion phase – and, as usual, the ruling class’s persuasion play is a combination of cynical lies and hateful accusations designed to shame the youth into combat boots. After being told their country is garbage, young native Englishmen are now being told they owe it their lives. After being told they are worthless, they are being told to give up what little they have left to live out some heroic fantasy of combating the Putin-monster for the transitory amusement of the ruling class. These young men are supposed to go die because Putin’s bad? Sure, he’s bad – unlike the cheering cheerio chickenhawks, I actually served in the Cold War in Europe, facing the Soviet threat, and I have no illusions about the perfidy of Russian rulers, but here’s the question we’re not supposed to ask: What did Putin do to young native Brits?
Call me a Putin lover for asking it – like I care, and like the young Brits care about these awkward slanders. Let me ask some more questions on their behalf, since Brits asking them might get them arrested: Did Putin put them in jail for speaking their minds? Did Bad Vlad flood their country with sex pest aliens who have a taste for sharia and the dole? Did he take away British subjects’ cherished right to a jury trial? Has Putin spent decades having every institution in the UK call them garbage and disenfranchising them? Why again should these guys die for whatever this Ukraine fetish is?
No. It’s a transparent fraud. Complying won’t win the ruling class’s respect; it will compound its existing contempt. In the off chance the ruling class even bothers putting up a memorial to the glorious dead of the Donbas, the men who are to be the meat for the grinder can be assured that some migrant or uni student will come along to p*** on it, as happens with existing memorials to past warriors, and know that no bobby will stop it. But that same copper will arrest their son or daughter for complaining about it.
Resolved: If anyone is to go fight for King and Country in Ukraine, it should be the politicians, the poshes, and their sons, as well as the migrants.
But it won’t be. When conscription comes, and it will come because all the appeals to King n’ Country, all the evocations of Winston Churchill (who the ruling class hates with a burning passion for his true patriotism and unapologetically cisgendered warrior spirit), will be for naught. The young men of Britain are not going to nod, mutter, “Yes, sir, my lord,” and sign up for the slaughter willingly. They will not voluntarily die for people who hate their own country and are ashamed of its history – these are people who hear mention of “the Somme” and think it’s the guy who recommends their cabernet.
We must support the men and women of Europe who want to live like free men and women. Donald Trump’s administration has bravely welcomed white South Africans terrorized by the race communist thugocracy of that benighted realm. We now need to welcome, with open arms, quality Europeans fleeing oppression in Europe – but no pinkos, no freaks, only the salt of the earth normals from that green and formerly pleasant land. We must grant asylum to those threatened with jail for speaking their minds in unapproved ways, to dissident leaders targeted by the regimes’ kangaroo courts for daring to oppose the establishment, and to those who refuse to fight and die so some Savile Row-clad swells can feel brave.
America is a beacon of freedom – let the light of liberty shine! Asylum for the victims of European tyranny now!
