Look, I
want nothing more than the end of humanity [we've ruined this world;
slowly depleting it's natural resources, halted it's natural growth,
extinct specious', murdered each other because of conflicting
ideologies/religions/creed/nationality and loads of other shit], but
I always pictured some sort of Zombie apocalypse or a meteor hitting
the globe to thin out the crowd instead of another World War... but I
suppose beggars can't be choosers.
So
people, it's time to hug the ones you love, sit down, plunge your
face into your lap and kiss your ass goodbye... which obviously you
can't do! Because if a human could kiss their own buttocks that would
mean, technically speaking; a man could suck his own cock - and if
that was the case; they wouldn't rule the world and we probably
wouldn't be in this situation. I say 'probably' because, ya'know;
Thatcher!
But the
world belongs to chauvinist pigs and one of those chauvinist pig
fuckers is David Cameron. I love Cameron, he's like the typical bloke
next door... if you grew up in a fucking mansion! Oh yeah, not
'love', I meant 'loath', I'm always get those two mixed up... ask my
loathly girlfriend.
Anyway,
good old Davey Boy has gone full British Bulldog [let's hope he dies
before his time, hey, left-leaning old school WWF fans that catch
that reference] and ordered air-strikes on Syria.
Look, if
you're expecting me to explain the cluster-fuck of the situation in
Syria [and that's the technical term by the way], I can't do it. It's
a cluster-fuck. I thought I had a decent grasp on the situation until
I watched a video on the BBC News website explaining it and was left
more baffled after. Basically, a lot of nations dislike Assad and
want to see him leave [USA], but some do like him [Russia], at the
moment he's fighting a civil war against rebels, one of those rebel
groups is ISIS, but nobody likes them. [Fucking told you I couldn't
explain it well!]
And now
we're throwing our metaphorical car keys into the bowl at this
swinger's orgy. Hooray!
Now, I
could be seen as a 'terrorist sympathiser' to David Cameron; the
'warmongering death merchant', but I'm not that gung ho about
dropping bombs on Middle-Eastern countries. I know I smoke a
plentiful amount of marijuana and drink so heavily that each day is
Groundhog Day for my liver... but even in my drug addled mind I have
some recollection of the UK getting involved in wars like this
before... that weren't particularly easy or successful.
This is
because wars like this aren't what they were back in the day.
Remember the good old days, when you knew who we were fighting...
anyone goose-stepping with a German accent... those were the days!
Nowadays
we're fighting religious cults, which is what ISIS are. It's usually
a term used for backwards ass Southern American that are 'drinking
the Kool Aid', but I think it's the perfect description for these
guys. A bunch of religious nuts that have concentrated on certain
parts of a religious text that in their eyes gives them immunity to
do whatever they want in the name of their God. And they're not
constricted by boarders. They're everywhere. With a media campaign so
well organised that if they ever catch the guy behind it; he'll be
granted immunity if he takes a job at Coke or Apple's advertising
department.
This is
not something you can simply bomb into oblivion. This is an ideology
that enlists impression people and basically brainwashes them into
thinking through death they'll reach a higher being. An ideology
can't be stopped with violence, if anything that only makes it more
powerful. This is a new age, I new type of warfare, we need a fucking
new approach.
Let's
face facts. Air-strikes are going to kill innocent people. These are
normal individuals already in the midst of a civil war. Yet they
still live on, I'm a fucking coward, I'd have killed myself a long
time ago if I was in their shoes... my only big decision would be if
I'd kill Fiona too or just let her feast on my corpse.
And
for those who reached a point that it got too much and they left
becoming refugees, fleeing to Europe, many dying on the journey, come
up against xenophobic hatred because narrow-minded fucks see them as
the very same people they're trying to escape. Which leads to
bullshit like this;
… popping
up in my Facebook feed.
In my
eyes, if you're trekked a large part of the globe to another country
to avoid persecution, you know what, you fucking deserve a house,
much more deserving than a person that simply fell out a vagina on
this island that can't be arsed to work. The UK has always opened
it's doors to people from other cultures and for the most part they
thrive here. Years back it was the Indians, then the Polish, now it's
Syrians. I'm from a council estate, so I know full-well the biggest
drain on the benefits system is home-grown scum, claiming for
bullshit medical reasons and doing cash-in-hand-jobs on the side. I
know this because they're friends of friends, and I'm always willing
to have extra tokes on their joints and more cans of their beer
['honest man's tax reparation!']. I'm willing to bet the same fuckers
that were bashing the Indians all those years ago, probably sit down
to a nice curry once a week, and go to the Polish shop because they
stock Lays crisps and cheap foreign fags on the sly. So fuck it, let
the Syrians in, can't wait to try their cuisine... although judging
the lives they've had it's probably scraps and shrapnel.
But as
the image states “Why are we housing the bastards trying to kill
us?”, well we're not are we. Is every Muslim a terrorist, of course
not. Just because your dear old gran has been going to Church every
Sunday for decades that doesn't automatically link her to David
Koresh, does it? So shut the fuck up.
“But
Ben, we're letting in 20,000 refugees by 2020, some of those could be
terrorists!”
Yeah, it's a possibility.
“David
Cameron said there's already been at least seven attempted terrorist
attacks in the UK this year that have been foiled.”
Yeah,
he did say that.
So what
about this;
Maybe
instead of spending a fucking shit ton of money dropping expensive
bombs on people, we put that money into properly vetting the refugees
that are entering the country and seek out the bad apples. While also
giving funds to our counter-terrorism groups, because by the sounds
of it they're doing a fucking great job. A big personal kudos to you
guys. Keep up the good work, you're the unsung heroes for sure.
People get behind the RAF, wishing them good look for basically
flying a plane [terrestrial pilots do it drunk, it can't be that
hard, there's not much traffic] and pushing a button to drop a bomb
[pushing buttons is easy, even a moron like me can do it
sssuuuccccccesssssfulllllly].
Our
interaction in Syria, without a doubt will increase the terrorists
attacks in the UK and although our counter-terror groups are doing a
sterling job, you can't always be 100% at work, shit, I'm fucking
awesome at my job but even I smash a plate or six on a bad day* [I'm
a kitchen porter, by the way and not at a Greek restaurant]. And when
that happens innocents will die. Just like in Paris. Because we're
not dealing with a bunch of idiotic nut-jobs, we're dealing with a
cult that's masterminded a plan. They know assassinating key
political figures is almost impossible, so it's civilians that die,
we will be paying the cost for our leaders' actions.
But
that's just to the start of the plan, xenophobic fears will get amped
up in the media, many Muslim will feel persecuted by the societies
they've spent their lives in. They'll be verbally and physically
abused. Most will shrug it off, knowing that they're dealing with
unintelligent cunts, but there's a chance all this abuse could push
other individuals over the edge and radicalise them. Truth be told if
I was a Muslim and I caught backlash from the attacks in Paris, I'd
probably feel disenfranchised from my community and seek revenge, but
I'm a spiteful bastard that holds a grudge. And ISIS wants civil
unrest, it helps alienated individuals join their cause. And the
thing is we need Muslims now more than ever. They could be the key in
de-radicalising those that have had their mind warped by ISIS
propaganda, they could be the ones that reinforce the humility that
the Quran teaches. So how about we lay off them and instead embrace
them more? I'm an atheist, there's plenty of evidence that points
towards Hitler being the same, yet I don't kill Jews or believe in
any of his ideologies. No matter what religion you are, there's
always some flag waver causing atrocities in the name of your God[s],
it doesn't mean everyone that follows the same God[s] believes the
same.
I've
rambled for far too long on this subject, so here's the wrap up;
Assad is a cunt that needs to be overthrown, he kills his own people
with military enforcement, that's not how political leaders do thing
these days, instead they kill their own by cutting tax benefits and
sending the lower classes to wars they have no business in, like us
Western societies. ISIS are cunts, and I don't even want to call them
ISIS because that feeds into their hands as that's what they want;
they want to be referred to as the 'Islamic State' and all of those
that oppose them have fallen right into their hands, so they're
already winning. Cameron is a cunt for agreeing to air-strikes in
Syria that will kill innocent people and therefore probably turn the
Syrians we're trying to help against us, that in turn feeds right
into the hands of ISIS.
But
don't worry, because at the end of the day you're more than likely
safe against a terrorist attack. Evidence shows they usually happen
in capital or big cities, so the large majority of us are safe [I
wish all the cool people I met in London on my last visit all the
best].
Before I
go, I just want to say; I think a country should only bomb another
country if over 50% of it's inhabits can find that country on a
map... and if they can't maybe you should educate them to the point
in which they can... but I suppose if you did they probably wouldn't
want to bomb them in the first place.
As to
how we resolve this threat, I don't know. This is a new age of
warfare, a new enemy [kinda like al-Qaeda, remember when we quashed
them and the remnants turned up in ISIS?]. There is no victory in
violence against a cult willing to die for the cause. If our
government really wanted to protect us in this time of austerity
they'd do more for the poor, more British people will die this year
due to low income and a critically underfunded NHS than attacks by
ISIS, but that's not important because some brown people have weapons
in the Middle-East and we need to kill them. Should we look into
where they get their weapons and funds from? No, we'll ignore that
and simply let that continue, because dropping bombs is easier than
ruffling a couple of feathers of rich, powerful individuals! It is a
capitalist world after all, it's OK for ISIS to have what seems like
an endless supply of money from mysterious benefactors because if we
dig a little deeper it could upset political procedures.
What
happened in Paris was a fucking travesty. There's no doubt about it.
But the Western World has been fighting Islamic fundamentalists for
quite some time and there seems no end and everything seems to
worsen. We need new tactics... and I'm not an idiot, they may not
work, but we should go back to the drawing board and try again and
again until we figure it out. If violence was an acceptable answer
85% of us would kick the shit out of our boss[es], co-workers,
friends and family everytime they they pissed us off. But we don't
because we're civilised... or so I've been lead to believe.
*I'm
over exaggerating for comical effect, if I broke six plates I'd be
fired, they collectively cost more that my wage for a week.
