Overcoming Speech Repression in Europe [stream #90]
Description
Western ruling classes appear more interested in going after people for wrongthink and so-called hate speech than in improving their people’s material fate. Have our ruling elites perhaps started buying into their own propaganda, trapping themselves inside the echo chambers of their creation?
The power elite have unmoored from reality. Barely holding on to lofty feel-good ideals of equality, safety, or diversity, they compensate for their diminishing relevance. It’s so much easier to tell a good story than to fix a real problem. It’s easier to ignore reality than to have to face it. But they’ll throw you in jail for talking back at them, or even for offering solutions.
The Repression of Speech
That’s what happend to the leader of the Students against Tyranny association in Norwich, UK. That young man was arrested by six police officers for calling illegal migrants possibly involved in the rape of a local teenager “foreign filth”. But if we can’t call foreign filth “foreign filth” anymore, what sort of civilization do we expect to get?
Getting arrested for the wrong words has been a hallmark of Western nations’ style for certainly the larger part of the past half century. Cracking down on speech began around the same time that these Western governments felt the need to import guest workers from North Africa, and elsewhere, by the millions. And so, our own people’s fate became tied to the well-being of others, many of whom despise us, if not outright hate us.
But the regime of Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer uniquely stands out. Under his two-tier policing schemes, it has been part and parcel for ordinary citizens to be sentenced to lengthy jail time, just for the crime of posting a single X tweet or Facebook post. Notably, in the wake of the Southport killings, when three girls were brutally and repeatedly stabbed by a son of African foreigners, hundreds if not thousands of Brits were fast-tracked to jail.
Meanwhile, cases involving actual violence and rape, besides hurty words, are drawn out to last for over a year, such as the case of two brothers, one named Muhammad, the other Mohammed, who punched a policewoman in the face, breaking her nose. Media initially only reported on the White policeman who had to use force to restrain the attacker afterward, as though media were trying to create the British George Floyd story, before bodycam footage finally put an end to that evil, farcical twist.
These British kangaroo courts befit the dealings of dictators, not democratic leaders, who, after all, were put in office by the very people now being arrested, namely for complaining about the reality of life in the United Kingdom.
Last year, a woman named Lucy Connolly got about 3 years in prison for posting,
“Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f*****g hotels full of the b******s for all I care... If that makes me racist, so be it.”
X didn’t think the tweet was inappropriate and didn’t take it down. The British police, however, considered the message a race hate crime, despite that Lucy deleted her message within 3 hours. Connolly was kept in pre-trial detention as a way of forcing her to confess to the crime, under the false impression that a confession would get her out of prison more quickly. This is yet another token treatment of dictatorial regimes. And again, the aforementioned “Muhammed brothers” suffered no such pressure to confess. Some media are still defending them, though Connolly was universally condemned.
This is what the word racism is for, but Connolly didn’t actually hate people because of their race. She hated these specific migrants, who had been in the news after the Southport riots, for potentially harboring rapists, gang rapists, thieves, and murderers among their population. The remark wasn’t meant to incriminate all innocent migrants, It was a remark targeted toward those immigrants who do show criminal tendencies. One has every right to be angered by imported crime, for there is crime, and some of it is imported. Her judge failed to appreciate this important nuance.
During the Southport riots, the very real and negative side effects of mass immigration had brought many British people, including Connolly to the brink of frustration. Something needed to be done, but everyone knew politicians and their police henchmen weren’t going to do it. So the people rose up, started speaking their minds, and starting making demands. Prime Minister Starmer responded by releasing actual criminals from prison to make more room for polite citizens with differing opinions.
Mind you, some of these policemen involved in arresting innocent civilians could be the sort of police officers who would gladly join in the gang rapes of White girls as young as ages 11 and 12. Indeed, some of them did join in. It highlights, once more, the very real two-tier policing, if not between natives and immigrants, then certainly between speech crimes and actual violent crimes. It’s the speech crimes that are treated with the full force of the law, whereas the violent crimes are often dismissed and covered up.
Partly, this may be explained by the fact that speech crimes, especially if they were expressed in writing only, can be tracked and documented, whereas a girl gangraped might have no witnesses or recordings of her assault. Still, that doesn’t explain why speech crimes put people away for many years, when proven gang rapists appear to be getting off the hook with a slap on the wrist.
So, I’m not a lawyer, but there’s a clear and major judicial overreach when it comes to hurty words. I’m only using Britain as an example, here, because the Starmerite regime is so extremist, but the same illogic is captivating Germany, France, and many other countries and their citizens.
I myself was met with two police officers around early 2022, after I had posted a messaged on X. I had responded to the news about the first Ukrainians arriving to The Netherlands as refugees. There had been a local protest against their arrival, especially since it was revealed that many of these first migrants to arrive were actually Africans from Ukraine. These Africans apparently saw the war with Russia as an excuse to apply for asylum—and a passport—in the European Union. As opposed to returning home to their native Africa, they “fled” to Europe.
I had written on X something along the lines of, “This feels like we’re at war. It’s time to prepare!” X, in my case, also didn’t think my expression was illegal or criminal. The police officers at my door let me off with a warning, and didn’t fine me or arrest me. I felt they had come to intimidate me into deleting the tweet. This, I thought, was very strange. Why wouldn’t they just report the tweet to X instead of bothering me? I had an almost 20-minute-long debate with these officers, concluding with me repeating that the mass migrations into our country made me feel like we were at war.
In Germany, it’s even worse. Your house will be raided and you’ll be arrested for calling a politician fat or stupid, especially when the person you’re referring to is actually fat or stupid.
A German podcaster / activist by the name of Schlomo Finkelstein, real name Aron Pielka, is now publicly known as a right-wing extremist, anti-feminist, racist Islamophobe. In reality, his podcast show was largely an almost intellectual criticism of the German regime. This man was no extremist, but was made out to be one by the authorities.
Mr. Pielka started his podcast in 2015 in response to the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, France. The so-called racist offense that got Finkelstein alias Pielka arrested was posting an image of a White woman flanked by two Muslim men with the admonishment, “You must integrate, White woman!” I.e., the poster was an almost truthful yet critical statement that, in Germany, White people are being forced to integrate into their new Islamic colony.
Why would you arrest a podcaster for this “non-crime hate incident”, as they would euphemistically call it in England, if it is simply a valid description of modern life in Germany? The mere suggestion that a threat might emanate from migration populations is why. This sort of suggestion goes against he mandated government narrative of Western elites that “diversity is our strength”. After all, if diversity weren’t really a strength, our blind-sided elites would have to go to jail for ruining their nations.
Ignorant, Unmoored Elites
Some things are clear: We are dealing with Western elites who have no proper understanding of the physical reality under their governance, nor do they possess the competencies to improve our material conditions. Admitting to this, would diminish their relevance and their status. So, they respond with repression, to shut people up.
Our elites have lost touch with reality, but since they still control the media narratives, and since they can still direct the police forces, they can have you arrested for the wrong speech.
It might be helpful to describe to you what, for example, German politics is like. Recently, a female German Minister of the Bundestag parliament expressed worries that certain German schools were now visited by entirely non-German and non-White demographics. Some schools are entirely populated by the children of immigrants who, in many cases, don’t speak a word of German.
To resolve this unwanted situation, the German Minister then suggested to divide these migrant children across more schools, so that each school would have, at most, 30% of migrant children. What this Minister wasn’t aware of is that, in Germany, in that age group under 12-year-olds, over 45% of children are children of immigrants. That means you can’t divide them all
