My Strange Week continued

Continuing from my weird week, my friend and I went for a bite to eat in the evening at our local and were subjected to aggressive verbal abuse continually for a good half an hour. He decided to pick on two small women and called us everything he could, 'informers', 'racists' and in calling us racist he proclaimed he would never again touch a fork if we had touched it. 'Chinese, Indian, they're all racist!', I guess he didn't know what race we were so said the two races that he had heard of. He also said 'They try to be black, look at them, they listen to our music (I'm partial to a bit of Rihanna but c'mon), they try to dress like us, look at them with their baggy jeans, before they used to dress in tight jeans like batty boys (err both of us aren't wearing baggy jeans), they don't even bathe, their pussy's stink!' (Sexism rears its ugly head again surprise surprise, see 'Women's role in the Arab world').

His older friend then came in and asked the guy working at the restaurant why his friend was so angry and if he was conspiring with those two girls. My friend laughed at this whole absurdity and he came right up to us and stared at us with his cross-eyed ugly face in an attempt at intimidation 'Don't laugh at me ya nah, I'm a big man, don't laugh at me'. My friend retorted 'I'll say what I like, what are you going to do?' My mouth is usually pretty big & trust me, there have been loads of times where men have wanted to punch me in the face but I said to her to leave it cos he was clearly MENTAL. (Just like 'grass root' Torys, you cannot reason with mental people.) He then took a banana from the counter, ate it in front of us and said 'black people like to eat bananas'. I eat bananas too, but I don't think that was the point he was making.

My friend suggested that weed had gone to their head, for me I like to think that they were possessed. Why else would they have picked on us of all people, for no reason at all? At least they have an excuse for their bitterness, stereotyping and general nonsensical rants, but what about the politicians of the world?...

The Chattering Classes, Occupy and the 99%

*Inspired by Russia Today*


This morning I watched a debate on Russia Today on Occupy Wall Street. They had the presenter and three panellists. One of whom was of particular interest as he embodied every stereotype of the so-called 1%. In the face of gathering momentum across the US and across the globe he belittled the protests as issues of the 'chattering classes'. WOW. The others could scarcely believe their ears. The disturbing thing is I do not think he was part of a propaganda machine trying to persuade the masses that the Occupy protests were meaningless due to any vested interest. To me he was the victim of the propaganda machine and he genuinely dismissed the mass unhappiness at the economic and political systems currently in place. He said the only unity between the protesters is their system of voting consensus and even this he dismissed as arduous and unworkable. I am guessing that this is exactly what was said when democracy came to the fore.

Across the world people en masse are refusing to accept the status quo that has made their lives a misery, so why exactly should people in the West still accept that more deregulation, income equality and cutting spending aka services for the poor, is the answer to the world's economic problems. For their convenience, people like the man I mentioned would like to put people in neat little categories which fit his view of the world. They also do this in order to feel safe, as this is how the masses are controlled. Create stereotypes and people will conform to them. People fear what they don't understand... You get the point! I wonder if Mr Category is aware that he himself is embodying a stereotype?

The Tory Voice on twitter called @raraproduction 'bitter socialists' due to a report on David Cameron. This had nothing to do with being a bitter socialist, it was simply exposing the person that is in charge of your life. This is another example of a right-wing assumption - because you are unhappy with aspects of the elite or capitalism that means you are a hippy socialist? No-one in their right mind begrudges the success of someone who is rich and has worked hard, it is the resulting slavish way that the politicians end up soullessly pandering to them that is pissing off the 99%.
