weapons dealer meets autocratic tyrant |
both statists
by which of course i mean that this indictment from fellow violent statists at the whitehouse can be leveled at both brown and gadaffi:
"When a leader's only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now,"
this post is pretty redundant from an anarchist point of view but i simply had to get this off my chest.
last night in the uk was the annual televised charity telethon Comic Relief which does come in for some criticism. now i dont want to bash comic relief too much. they are more of a genuine voluntary charity than this little lot who are in truth merely clients/arms of the state. true, comic relief does depend almost entirely on the bbc for extensive and cost free airtime in addition to its cast of coercively funded bbc celebrities. and true, the main man, richard curtis, was behind this much fisked 'humourously' coercive climate scam propaganda video.
but... it is still as near voluntary charity as there is aside from individual direct action and this is an aspect of humanity that libertarian and anarchist thought relies fairly heavily on to defend itself from 'what about the poor?' statists. so i will leave an examination of the dubious benefits of pissing money away treating the symptoms through corrupt NGO's in the third world to other bloggers.
what really shocked the fuck out of me was the horrific appearance of the above pictured saggy faced fuckwit - gordon brown. i know the charity was trying to get 'big names' but isnt it a bit dodgy treading into the political sphere. i have recently realised that the old adage 'dont discuss politics or religion' is true-ish because both rely so heavily on indoctrinated doublethink to hide their coercive control that discussion invariably upsets people as their gigantic cognitive dissonance struggles to cope. involving a former prime minister is sure to piss off a whole load of potential donators so why not just get a non political celebrity?
brown in particular will piss off almost everyone including the vast majority of people that have never considered the ethical inconsistency of coercive government.
he has shackled millions into permanent poverty and dependency upon a crumbling state welfare system. he has price millions out of work through ill advised minimum wage laws and fundamentally mismanaged the state economy. he has continued to embroil the people of the state in foreign conflicts with gigantic costs and above all he famously cannot smile. his comic relief appearance was awkward, unnatural and artificial.
but the insanity of involving this man in a campaign to raise money for Africa is monumental. he, like all statists, actively supports the root causes of the problems whilst charity events like this only treat the visible symptoms.
international trade agreements, the 3rd world financial debt held by quasi-state banks, silence on irrational religious opposition to contraception and other healthcare measures. all these contribute to the problems that comic relief shows us. how the man that channeled funds and weapons to an african dictator can pretend to smile along with such hypocritical worthiness is unbelievable.
