The pond scanned the morning's headlines with dread. There was no way the pond could survive another week of the crisis in Western Civilisation …
The pond was cautiously optimistic. The hive mind seemed to have settled and crow eaters around the land were rejoicing …
No crisis in Western Civilisation there, there no crisis in Western Civilisation …
And even Moorice seemed to have fallen into line, with the promise of a stunning assault on Viktor Orbán, and his nationalist, far right party, with dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies of the strong arm kind …
Freedom slips away in Budapest promised the sort of outing previously seen in the Graudian in Timothy Garton Ash's The EU's core values are under attack as never before it must defend them:
As Hungarian-style authoritarianism spreads, Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party should be expelled from its European parliament grouping …Freedom slips away in Budapest promised the sort of outing previously seen in the Graudian in Timothy Garton Ash's The EU's core values are under attack as never before it must defend them:
How deluded, how trusting how foolish of the pond …but as Moorice had been blessed by a Lobbecke, certifying its cult status, attention had to be paid ...
Oh sheesh, good old Moorice, right in step with the far right's demonisation of George …
Luckily he might not repeat the canard of Soros being a Nazi collaborator, a favourite of conspiracy theorists, but as Moorice is certain to be a fact-free zone, the pond felt the need to brush up on recent Hungarian history in relation to Soros, as in the Graudian's April 2018 Crackdown prompts Soros's Open Society to quit Budapest …
And now here's where it gets silly …
Poor old Moorice actually quotes the barking mad Oreo as some kind of authoritative source, as she channels the authoritarian Viktor Orbán ...
Oh sheesh, it was too much for the pond on a holiday Monday … Moorice at his rambling, incoherent finest, senility beckoning, quoting the Oreo, citing the bromancer, and yes … the ultimate horror, returning yet again to feed on the crisis of Western Civilisation, when there it was, hiding in plain sight, the truth that the authoritarian Viktor Orbán, just like the Donald, represented a genuine, ongoing crisis in Western Civilisation …
And wouldn't you know it, the Turnbull government is, in Moorice's eyes, an offshoot of Soros's socialism ...
The pond can't count the number of times that the pond has read the reptiles scribbling furiously about "the long march through the institutions", frequently with Gramsci given a guernsey.
It's an Oreo favourite, and it suggests that the real crisis in Western Civilisation is incestuous fornication amongst the reptiles …
Stop it, stop it, or you'll go blind, or have mutant babies of the Moorice column kind …
And now, as further proof there is no crisis in Western Civilisation, the pond turns to this excellent report on the state of education in the United States …
You would wonder who has the patience to try and disentangle this stuff when they could be doing something interesting and productive like re-pinning their butterfly collection. Is he just told "Write anything, doesn't have to make sense"?
ReplyDelete"Crony socialists and capitalists have become willing extensions of government policy seeking approbation from those who personally can benefit them or their activities." We need an example. Does he mean someone like Andrew Robb? "Patronage and privilege are surer ways to success". I don't doubt it, and as a stockbroker he would know too. From there on the syntax gets harder to follow. It must be the crony socialists and capitalists who are causing the widening of the wealth gap and lessening faith in free market capitalism. This devious strategy would be self-defeating and it's hard to believe Andrew Robb or anyone else would have such a plan.
The protestors must be protesting against the wealth gap. Has there been any such protest, that has been silenced? Maybe it happens every day, I live in the country and wouldn't know.
