Leanne Wood was right on the White Supremacists and Isis.


In the end it comes down to your vision. Either you think that the world has enough resources to feed everyone , that we are products of our environment and therefore control our own destiny and that people wherever they come from irrespective of ethnicity, colour or belief have a role, purpose and value because of their humanity and because they are here right now.
If you do not believe the above then either consciously or unconsciously you are claiming that some are more qualified to live , experience or have things more than others. You will create an enemy our there, see the threat from the other and demand their destruction. When Leanne Wood said there was no difference between the white supremacists and Isis she was correct. The right in Wales screamed, the Kippers shouted and abuse was healed upon her. Yet Freud long ago commented that when we are confronted with an unpalatable truth our darker impulses strike back.Jyng talked of the projection of the shadow onto the enemy within ourselves but seen as the others. The truth is that if we examine the psychological research on the white supremacist, the lone wolf terrorist or shooter and the fundamentalist it's the same, whatever ethnicity , religious belief or culture they are from. They are an aspect of the problem of masculinity, of meaning and purpose. They seek simple answers, desire paradise and want others to know their place. A simple answer will solve it all...if we leave the EU, put gay people in their place, learn the law of God, keep women in their place all will be well. If we can say things in 20 words rather than 200 words we are speaking common sense. It's those who have doubt or are able to see complex and contradictory answers who are dealt with even more brutally mocked, beaten up or killed.

And that my fine kipper friends what has upset you . Perhaps none of the major activists, elected officials or members of the Welsh Assembly would wish to do those things consciously but what lurks beneath...that is the question. When we treat people as less than human, as the other then we push on a door that when opened fully leads to the gas chambers and mass extinction of those not seen fit to live. We either except our humanity or we do not. If we do not then that's why the shooter, the fundamentalists, the supremacist are the same. If we can't see that then it's even more disturbing. To strip away our culture, conditioning and laziness is the only method we can use to allow us to see the similarities hidden deep within....as Mark Twain said the person who can read but does not is the same as the person who cannot read...and my fine kipper friends that is who you are..Leanne Wood was right...and you reveal your ignorance... to quote from Chris Price supporter of the EDL once a skinhead , always a skinhead...it says it all....and that applies from Steve Bannon late of the White House or the most minor fascist of the EDL... the Crown prosecution service has been instructed to treat online hate crime as equal to physical violence ...will the right support this...I wonder?

"The affairs of the world are ordered in accordance with orthodox opinions. Owen saw that in the world a small class of people were possessed of a great abundance.
"He saw also that a large number lived lives of semi-starvation from the cradle to the grave, while a yet smaller but still very great number actually died of hunger.
"Seeing all this, he thought that it was wrong, that the system, which had produced such results, was rotten and should be altered. And he sought out and eagerly read the writings of those who thought they knew how it might be done.
"It was because he was in the habit of speaking of these subjects that his fellow workmen came to the conclusion that there was probably something wrong with his mind.",,,,, Ragged Trousered Philanthropist
