It’s almost like Catholics going to confession. And like baptised Catholics, they’re welcomed into the fold and all is forgiven (I’m using Catholicism as an analogy of an organization and an ideology that people would adhere to, not at any point saying the Church is full of racists and Nazis).
Tommy Robinson has never been allowed to surmount any of his past wrongdoings (I believe “mortgage fraud” is the favourite one to throw at him, now that it’s proven without a shadow of a doubt that he’s no racist.)
Meanwhile, Matthew Collins, self-proclaimed “Paki-basher,” is a researcher and writer for Hope Not Hate. There are some things from which there should be no return, such as Matthew and his gang entering a community centre that was filled with Pakistani women with the sole intent of causing the women as much physical harm as possible. One pregnant lady had to lock herself in the toilet from Matthew and his mates. And yet Matthew managed to gain for himself a senior position at Hope Not Hate. So here you have a misogynistic, woman-beating racist ending up with quite a good career and a book out of it. Bearing in mind that Hope Not Hate are a group who have allegiance with Antifa, and who put out calls to violence against people or groups whose speech they are terrified of.
Appeasement of the Left is the order of the day in the UK. I’ve been to rallies and events and had lefties charge me for pointing my phone in their direction (which is perfectly legal to do, but they don’t like having their picture taken for some reason, perhaps they’re not photogenic enough). The police response was to tell me to move along, even although I was the peaceful one. I challenged the officers and told one that he should be making arrests and not allowing thugs to be dictating people’s behaviour and destroying property. If a person has a long enough criminal record, then they’ll find it hard to find or keep a job, but the police can’t be bothered doing the paperwork. A female officer agreed with me, but again she pleaded with me to go away so that she could keep the peace.
Why are the left dictating the public discourse? Patriotism or nationalism is now racism in their eyes, and anyone who is proud of their country is a Nazi. The monkeys are running the zoo, and our politicians have opened the gates to their cages in order to let them run around. Logic has flown out the window. Rapists and sexual assaulters (Brendan Cox fits into that latter description) are lauded by the Left; they’re even applauded for admitting they have a sex problem (once they get caught, never before). But, again with the hypocrisy, Tommy Robinson is supposedly a womaniser (note I said womaniser, not sexual assaulter after the manner of Mr. Cox). Where’s the understanding for Tommy or his forgiveness (not that his sex life is anyone but his and his wife’s business)? There are scandals of NGO and foreign aid workers raping women and children abroad.
The Left and their organizations are depraved. There’s no other excuse. No one is perfect, but I have never witnessed so many people with so much hatred in their hearts flock to organizations because they sanction violence (towards women and men), welcome rapists and racists, and continue to grow in numbers, and even get funded. It is a world gone mad.
Jack Cade says
Hitler was a socialist. That’s a natural disorder for lefties.
mortimer says
Mussolini said somewhere that Italian communists make good fascists once converted. Many communists joined Mussolini and then in 1945, many Italian fascists joined communism.
Indiana Tom says
Take a look at Mussolini. He was both a Communist and a Fascist.
Really no difference.
Bob Kresse says
Hitler was NATIONAL SOCIALIST; meaning ONLY for pure Germans.
Indiana Tom says
…and a lot of the Germans were not as pure as they would like you to believe. Actually Germans are really sort of a diverse group as Germany was not really a country until 1870. Big difference between Rheinlander, Sachsen, Frieslander, and Bayern type volk. I have both low and high German ancestry. Hard to believe these people come from the same planet, let alone the same country.
Paul says
I am not a christian “But he who is without sin let him cast the first stone” is a good thought for all our lives.
I do not see why so many people have to base their lives on hatred. I don’t want to be ruled by ignorant people who believe their imaginary friend is the best one and I must bend my neck to their outrageous statements.
But I do not hate.

mortimer says
Paul, they demonize their political competition and actively teach their followers to hate. The Left have abandoned discussion and debate because they know they cannot win through critical thought.
They have turned to ’emotional argument’. It can be called PSYCHODRAMA or MELODRAMA.
When the Soviet leaders came to the United States, Richard Nixon showed them a typical American supermarket. The Soviet leaders were overwhelmed and denied that it was typical.
The Left is very good at tuning out facts.
Marvin says
Prove your imaginary friend claim please.
Frank says
Your choice of the sacrament of confession as an analogy is a very poor one : inaccurate, ignorant and offensive. And your lame disclaimer in the second sentence does nothing to mitigate. This colours (for me, at least) all the rest of your article. If you got your first step SO wrong, how could it be otherwise? The suspicion is already planted, that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Nevertheless, I did read the rest of the piece. For the most part, I agree with almost all you wrote. Britain is f****ed. It’d be nice if you’d actually read Tommy Robinson’s “Enemy of the State” book, though, so you’d be more familiar with the hero and icon you use as an example. The ‘mortgage fraud’ was a complete fabrication by the cops. It was his brother-in-law’s mortgage. Tommy lent him some money for his down-payment. The br-in-law overstated his income on his application. Cops pinned ‘fraud’ on Tommy. No-one else has gone to prison for such a tenuous involvement, but it was all they could pin on him.
You wrote – “The Left and their organizations are depraved.” You’re right … but at the end of your article the few examples of public about-faces by bad Lefties are too thin to justify your opening analogy.
Diane says
Frank – Please stop acting like you’re the authority on Catholicism, or Christianity, even. This article’s original premise was offensive TO YOU. That doesn’t mean it was offensive to ALL of us.
You suggest the author of the article should read “Enemy of the State”, in order to “know what he’s talking about” …. ironic, since your arrogant tone sounds like someone who’s never read the Bible.
Isntlam says
This is a very poorly written article.
Isaac says
you feeling offended ? lol..fucking moron… i liked the confession analogy coz the left forgives everyone their sins if they join their ranks…and TUT TUT…shame on you ASSUMING the author hasn’t read tommy’s book….do you have proof for this? it’s obvious to me that the author is simply quoting the left, however wrong they may be…..critical reading is not your strong point mate.

This is silly–Joshua Winston is not smearing Catholicism here.
Charles says
Graven Image, Joshua sounds like a self-loathing Jew who, in addition, hates the teaching of the Jew Jesus (and all his Jewish disciples who, as soon as they were on their own, adopted a truly socialist life-style).
Indiana Tom says
I dunno…some of the churches I have been in were much closer to Marxist theology than what they or their parishioners would like to admit.
Catholic Liberation Theology is a good example.
The mainstream Protestant churches are pretty bad. United Methodist church is a good example.
Been there, done that.

Carol the 1st says
I wonder what these people would have done with themselves if Hillary had won? Ironically, by wearing the masks, they’ve now given everyone a good look at their communal face.
utis says
Antifa is self-admittedly violent. When people with that ideological motive, wearing masks, approach non-violent protesters, the police should call for back-up and start treating these punks like bandits. They’re not the Lone Ranger.
Beating unarmed people is not a legitimate form of “protest.” I’d like to see where in the Bill of Rights barbaric violence is covered.
gravenimage says
Exactly.
Westman says
“It is a world gone mad.” It may be more like a Westen World gone Hedonist. I’m not a religionist yet I have seen the decline of decency in both language and actions since 1965.
The first appearance, for my community, of liberals flocking left, en mass, was demonstrations against the Vietnam War and their use of every strategy possible to avoid conscription. Some, unlike our pre-election celebrities, went to hide in Canada.
Congress responded by creating a professional military so the left could continue maximum dissipation without serious interruption while the “deplorables” could pay the human cost of war. But why stop there? Without farms or family businesses, children are an economic, emotional, and physical burden – another interruption to hedonism – so why not eliminate them through abortion? Roe vs Wade 1973. The party is getting dull, lets have some mind-altering substances. And why shouldn’t government be promoting and making money from gambling? Now it’s time for pot, everywhere?
The left has been on a hedonistic binge since the 1960’s and their demonstrations always revolve around maintaining that binge. The left is the party of less work and more celebrity, total freedom without responsibility, and “righting” the world into an unrealistic nirvana with other people’s money.
The left reminds me of an old song: “Ruby, you’re like a song, you don’t know right from wrong,” Maybe there is a reason so many celebrities are liberals.
Rick Oneil says
“The left has been on a hedonistic binge since the 1960’s and their demonstrations always revolve around maintaining that binge. The left is the party of less work and more celebrity, total freedom without responsibility, and “righting” the world into an unrealistic nirvana with other people’s money.”
I’m going to post this everywhere. It so nicely sums up the whole idea.
James Lincoln says
Love that quote – it’s a keeper !!!
Indiana Tom says
“righting” the world into an unrealistic nirvana with other people’s money.”
The problem with Socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.
Isntlam says
“racists and Nazis flock to the left”? I don’t know where this person learned to write, but usually a writer who is worth spit tries to explain and support what he is talking about.
Isaac says
have you looked at your own diction?
Isntlam says
Shove it, Isaac.
brane pilot says
From what I have read, many in the Antifa movement are sexual deviants (self-described ‘queers’; their words, not mine) seeking to destroy ‘straight’ society that ‘oppresses’ them. That is the depth of their political thinking. Probably others with similar one dimensional motivations. They refuse political debate because they have nothing to debate. They merely seek to disrupt and destroy the society they live in at every opportunity. The media loves them because they put on a show and they attack those the media seeks to marginalize and silence.
gravenimage says
Not all gay people want to destroy the free West–for most, just the opposite. “Antifa” certainly wants to, though.
Indiana Tom says
90 percent of Antifa members live in their parents basement and 30 percent of them are employed at McDonalds. 60 percent do not work.
Garfield says
A lot of the ideology to be queer and hate normal family life came from THE FRANKFORT SCHOOL. it is horrifying how influential they have been.
Being gay is fine….pushing it on people is not.
dan christensen says
Leftists always had a spiritual bond with nihilists and anarchists. Since islam is both a nihilist as well as an anarchist movement, leftists react like leftists in the last half of 19’th century in pre-revolutionary Russia.
Leftists, nihilists, anarchists and islamists ultimately are fascists.
Socialdemocrats attempt to subordinate democracy under fascism.
don vito says
“Why do racists and Nazis flock to the Left?”, my take is the pay is good and the hours are short. I wouldn’t think you could build a career in this line of work, but several have thru modern history, notably, politics, fund raising, ngos, nonprofits, and foundations. Oh yeah, community organizers, advocates etc. The big money dhimprogs, like hollywood, soros are the financiers, luggenpresse the angelizers and publisizers. glorifying and romanticizing this subculture of Western culture.
don vito says
As a career choice, drug use is a plus, as well as poor hygiene. Education doesn’t matter and it also helps to be dedicated, aggressive, and be responsive to suggestion. I know there is more… easily offended. I can’t think of other attributes right now, but there must be plenty more.

“Why do racists and Nazis flock to the Left? It’s almost like Catholics going to confession.

Methinks you really need to seriously work on your choice of analogies. To equate the group you speak of with Catholics and Catholicism is verily unrealistic. Unless you had something else odious in mind you also wished to share.
However I do agree that depravity (and I’d add delusion) seems to be running rampant, especially in some walks of life more so than in others.
Isaac says
methinks you need to learn to read better….pretty sure the article says they’re NOT like catholics..it was the whole forgiveness of sins that the left are good at, or the overlooking of sins…..moron
Laurence says
Perhaps if you would more carefully read my comment you would not be so quick to utter your denigrating comments. There are so many analogies which could have been selected from and used, which I think would have been more apt and plainly reflective of the point he (I assume) was making. C’est la vie.
Cheers!

Good piece from Joshua Winston.

Brilliant piece from Joshua once again.
The Catholics posting on this site ought to be made of sterner stuff and not resort to thaat well known meme used by our muslim (non) friens i.e ” i am offennded by what you say/write/how you look etc”
Joshua is a warrior . Writing is just a side line foe him. He is growkng and developing as a writer. Catholic poster , pleasedo not defe d Catholocism from what JJihad watch writers express. Devote your energies to defending the Catholic. Hurch from the multiple claims of Paedophilia.

“It’s almost like Catholics going to confession. And like baptised Catholics, they’re welcomed into the fold and all is forgiven (I’m using Catholicism as an analogy of an organization and an ideology that people would adhere to, not at any point saying the Church is full of racists and Nazis).”
As a Catholic, I have a theory about this. Which may be valueless, but here goes anyway. IMHO, Catholicism, and Leftism, appeal to some of the same values, so people who might, not so long ago, have become, or stayed, Catholic, join Leftism instead. The authoritarianism and heresy-hunting and corporatism in Leftism are not a world away from similar phenomena in Catholicism. Both movements can trace these things to the roots in Judaism that they share. The Thousand-year Reich is basically the National Socialist version of the earthly reign of the Messiah, which in Revelation 20 lasts for 1,000 years. Socialism makes the individual part of a worldwide “chosen people” or ummah, and gives people a common purpose – its message is in effect a “preaching” of the Kingdom of God, but without God. Christ preached “the good news of the Kingdom of God”, and has often been mistaken for a Socialist.
People still have ideals to which they aspire, and which are capable of calling forth what is best and highest in them: and if Catholicism has become shy of appealing to these things, these ideals must be responded to somewhere: and the Church’s loss can often be Leftism’s gain.
Garfield says
There was a communist named Bella Dodd who guided 1100 communist men into Catholic seminaries to destroy it from within. Th at could be part of the problem!
Joe says
The “bad” people flock to the left, because the Masters are “bad” and are on the left. The top 20 or more donors (super rich Masters) all donate primarily to the left. All the systems (e.g., politics, newspapers, smear groups) are owned by the Masters.
Why do the Masters dedicate themselves to being “bad”. It is because the others seek them out. If they go along with the “bad”, they are a partner. If they don’t, they will be destroyed.
UNCLE VLADDI says
All “totalitarians,” (international socialists aka communists, national socialists aka nazis, leftists in general, and muslims) are thought-killing “psychopaths:” paranoid masochistic and hypocritical little gangster dirtbags who want to form into gangs to dilute their own culpability and increase their extortive ability to exert “total” control over and enslave everyone else because they can’t trust them selves. Their projected excuse is always the critical thinking logical fallacy called the Argumentum Tu Quoque:
“My crimes aren’t really crimes because you all do or would do it if you could, too! Whee!”
Garfield says
Excellent comment.
FYI says
It should be made illegal for those antifarts twats to hide behind masks etc.
The police should consider heavy on-the-spots fines for them:fascist thugs like antifa need to be put in their place:tag em electronically if necessary but make sure they are heavily fined.
At a recent antifart gathering in Charlottsive,the unwashed antifart savages were chanting ..anti-police slogans..
{Now I wouldn’t put up with that if I were a cop…any more than I would ,balaclava-wearing fascist imbeciles endangering public safety.I might be inclined to call in SWAT…safety catches accidently off…}
And seriously.. antifarts “Left Unity against fascists”?
Oh puleeese!Who do they think they are fooling?
antifa itself is a FASCIST organisation:the great,unwashed,simple-minded,intellectually-challenged,Leftard-brained twats just don’t get IRONY do they?
antifa students:of what?Snowflake studies,Leftardism,applied moronics?
Anyone who belongs to the antifarts is evidently too stupid to exist on this planet!
I mean they don’t even get the IRONY do they?
antifarts are MORE FASCIST than fascists!They may pretend to be modern leftard bolsheviks but the behavior,ideology,propaganda and sloganeering are 100% fascist.Mussolini would be impressed at the fascist nature of antifa{and he would know:he was a far Leftard long before he joined the Italian fascisti}
antifarts are FASCISTS in any way you look at it:organised thuggery by uniformed morons,the utter inability to understand irony,primitive intellects,violent response to everything because they lack the intelligence to behave decently,anti police,anti Law and Order.. pretending to be opposed to fascism when in fact they ARE fascists..and hoping nobody will notice that fact.
Just like those equally savage, violent mobs of members of the “religion of PEACE”
Another shower of morons{religious this time} that should be fined by cops for their public displays of false piety and who,like the antifarts just DON’T GET IRONY.
Where oh where is the Peace in this “Religion of peace”?Try saying that to a muslim mob.They behave in a way that completely belies this nonsense of islam being a peaceful religion.Just as the antifarts behave in a way that belies the nonsense that they are anti-fascist when in fact they are..FASCISTS.
Antifarts:secular fascists
islamic thugs:religious fascists
No wonder they are all in bed together.. convenient puppets for the Globalista mafia.

Ibrahim itace muhammed just farted off some more nonsense where are the Jews rioting with their faces hidden? Who or what is the “Fascist evil Zionist” are they another fiction group in your Islamic imagination ,like peaceful tolerant Islamic governments? The Islamic “Holy Men” in their Mosques condemn the Jews every Friday with their “prays “of cursing the Jews and Christians all over the world.The Jews never strike back or threat them Many sermons in the Mosques pushing for death and destruction of the Jews and Israel given all over the world ,where are the “assassination ” by the “Jewish Mafia”? Write a book of fiction on Mohammed fevered dreams, or draw a picture of Mohammed and live a life under a death threat issued by Islamic leaders world wide.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
wpm, who assassinated RFK, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King and masterminded 9/11 where over 3000 lives lost. you know what zionist mafia have been doing, but you are afraid to say it for you not assassinated in the same mysterious way.Tell your Satan god in yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods inspiring fascist evil Zionists to plan evils to approach me, I will kick him on his head to get him running away from evil Zionists to track them down and bring them to justice.
