It has struck me on twitter, and in life, that the 'left' as a politically active group are not terribly easy to separate from normal, mostly young 'slactivists', who all of a sudden have an opinion that they need to express when a big event comes along, such as the war of Britain against Da'esh (I refuse to say 'Syrian war'.)
All of a sudden, just like that, have an opinion, even though, probably some of them, didn't previously know Syria existed.
It seems to me a lot of people who claim the term left (and mainstream right but I'm not talking about them right now). Are like this.
This is the same group of people that drink a lot of alcohol, partake in drink and drugs often. Whom don't know how to do maths because it's complicated!
This is the case with all the modern left causes especially those like #refugeeswelcome.
So imagine it, you have someone who drinks, socialises, has left wing friends and are easily drawn along with these ideas. Sees these concepts and all of a sudden.
PASSIONATELY and even VIOLENTLY comes to the aid of these 'refugees' (RAPEFUGEES not all of them but if you know anything about the Middle East obviously some of them), hates anyone who disagrees with the opinion of their newly created political conviction.
... and further, can be directed to organise against a person with an informed view, or a different one, like Katie Hopkins.
Soon enough this person has a whole network of these establishment created ideas.
... and these ideas are created from a lack of any real knowledge of markets, politics or competing geo- political groups and are based on more of an animal sense that they want the 'government' to take care of them (and as we have established, everyone else as well), that the 'government' through a political idea they just heard of called 'socialism', should give them more money and generally stop being a 'meanie'.
Now the way this differs from how I do things is that when I hear of these things I:
A) Look at different evidence and ask questions... Are they all Syrian refugees? (UN figures gave a lot of different countries just an fyi)
B) Follow people whom have informed opinions on these things (no not the Guardian), from previous curious forays into that mysterious world of 'information and knowledge'. (Syrian girl, who as the name suggests lives in Syria, offered a vastly different viewpoint, including that the refugees had been there 4 years it wasn't a sudden crisis!)
So... What? If people are like this, and are being directed by the establishment mainstream against those that actually do know something (I have summarised anti EU groups in previous posts)... What can be done?
Well, something is being done, groups are rallying against the EU, but at the moment, it is not enough. A market tumble, arrest of the Illuminati etc. Would be another route to go as well. But that is too neat for me, I imagine it will be more chaotic than that.
