Thanks To Fascistic Trump I’m Now Immobile For Christmas

I recently received this bullshit disabilist tweet from somebody who’s quite obviously a Tory troll.

Yes of course I must be lying my fucking arse off about being disabled because I’m not dribbling whilst sat in a wheelchair 100% of the time unable to comprehend the world. I can most definitely testify from personal experience as disabled person that the disablist attitude exhibited by this Tory troll is sadly pretty prevalent amongst the general populous, people really do seem to think that unless you’re not visibly sat in a wheelchair 100% of the time then your bullshitting the world about being disabled. What’s particularly irksome isn’t just that many people can’t grasp not all disabilities are visible & that those disabilities which are invisible are often the most debilitating of disabilities, it’s the contradictory bullshit of accusing disabled people of using whatever disabilities they suffer from as an excuse in not making enough effort to do whatever but then accusing disabled people of lying about being disabled when they do make an effort to do whatever, in other words when I do make effort to get out & about to do whatever despite being disabled I’m accused of lying about being disabled yet if I didn’t make an effort to get out & about to do whatever because of being disabled I’m then accused of using my disabilities as an excuse to be lazy, seems to me cynicism has replaced compassion regards the general attitude of people in this country towards disabled people.

For the record I suffer from multiple disabilities (not all of which are visible) including physical disabilities effecting my mobility, for the record whenever I have attended any protest or parade in London I’ve more often then not been laid up unable to walk for more then day afterwards, but it’s not just the next few days I’m going to be laid up unable to walk as a consequence of having attended yesterday’s Anti-Trump demo in London but I’m going to be immobile for the entirety of Christmas due to having tripped & fallen & in process knackering my right knee as well as spraining my left ankle.

yours truly at yesterday’s Anti Trump demo prior to busting my knee

When I tripped & fell as the anti-Trump demo was setting off from Trafalgar Square to march on Buckingham Palace where Queen Lizzy was hosting a reception for Donald Trump & other NATO leaders, it wasn’t the pain from having tripped & fallen in the manner I did that had me in floods of tears, but the police & stewards who’d gathered round me to see if I was okay misgendering me as ‘he’, which was kind of frigging ironic as I was attending this Anti-Trump demo to represent trans people as Indeed I have when I’ve attended all the other Anti-Trump demos I’ve managed to attend over the past couple of years.

With yesterday’s Anti Trump demo there were activists giving speeches about all usual leftwing concerns you’d expect activists to be making speeches about at an Anti-Trump demonstration, justice for Palestinians, fuck off NATO, Trump is a racist & Islamophobe & a misogynist, all which being a redder then red socialist I of course agree with, but there wasn’t one LGBTQ activist or more specifically trans activist speaking from the platform yesterday thus no mention of Trump’s rabid transphobia despite it being more then fucking evident that from the moment he took office his administration has been waging a war against trans people. Though Paris Lees did get to speak at a previous Anti-Trump demo back in the summer of 2018 which was attended by 300,000 people (me included) usually there’s been an absence of trans or even LGBTQ speakers at the Anti-Trump demos there have been & generally when it comes to antifascist demonstrations. Don’t the Stop The War Coalition or Unite Against Fascism or the Socialist Workers Party or whichever leftwing activist group who’ve been organising Anti-Trump & antifascist demos not know Trump is being a colossal cunt towards trans people, do they not think the rise is the far-right isn’t an increasing threat to LGBTQ people & specifically trans people?

It’s because of the lack of LGBTQ representation & specifically the lack of trans representation there has been from platform at Anti-Trump & antifascist protests which is exactly the reason why I attend these kind of protests waving a Trans Pride flag like a motherfucker & why there needs to be far more trans visibility amongst the demonstrators at these sort of protests as a reminder trans people are very much threatened by the rise of the far-right in fact more so then any other section of the LGBTQ community. Some might pooh-pooh my personal efforts to increase trans visibility in the fight against fascism making bollock all difference, however to my surprise a trans friend who ‘s a working-class Tory actually applauded me for my efforts in trying to increase trans visibility when it comes to demonstrating against Trump. It’s certainly not a good thing to have busted my knee thanks to Donald Trump being a fascist fuck, but having a Tory of all people appreciate me for the effort I’ve made in trying raise trans visibility when it comes to protesting Trump well that actually means a great deal to me & goes a long way to making up for the physical agony I’m having to endure this festive season.

Carl Benjamin — The UKIP Candidate Who Thinks Its Funny To Threaten Female Labour MPs With Rape

Anita Sarkeesian once described Carl Benjamin as a garbage human being, yep in my reckoning Carl Benjamin is an utterly despicable human being without any redeeming qualities who British politics (if not the world in general) could do without, he’s better known as far-right YouTube shitlord Sargon of Akkad though I personally prefer to refer to him as Sargon of Wankhard as he seems to spend his days in some dank dingy basement intellectually masturbating thinking himself some great public intellectual when the truth is their supposed ‘intellectual pontifications’ add up to generally being seriously abusive towards various individuals & groups of people.

Carl Benjamin AKA Sargon of Akkad

Hilariously fanboys of Sargon claim he isn’t far-right but centre Left, yes & North Korea is officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, but I think the one thing we can all agree upon is that North Korea is definitely not a democracy, so just because Carl Benjamin aka Sargon of Wankhard claims to be centre-left doesn’t mean he actually is, I’ve been a lefty as long as I’ve been interested & involved in politics (practically my entire adult life) & I can say with absolute certainty that Carl Benjamin is definitely not politically centre left. You’re definitely not ‘centre-left’ if you’re a misogynistic, racist, disabilist, transphobic, Trump supporting Brexiter piece of shit all of which Carl Benjamin is, this is a guy who’s continuously used racially abusive language, called disabled children retarded, I know he’s recently umped on the transphobic bandwagon by claiming trans women are really men, oh & thinks threatening to rape feminists is funny.

Carl Benjamin has now hit the headlines because in a PR stunt by Gerard Batten who is UKIP’s current leader, he & one other YouTuber shitlord have been selected as MEP candidates standing at the European Elections on May 23rd & Carl specifically seems have no real concrete policy proposals other then he might rape Jess Philips MP.

Sargon of Wankhard seems to think making rape threats towards a female Labour MP is somehow funny, err Carl there’s nothing funny about rape, I’m on the autistic spectrum & even I know you don’t with a swinging dick taunt a complete female stranger about raping her, you particularly don’t do it to a female stranger who’s known to have been a survivor sexual abuse which Jess is, I mean for fucks sake you wouldn’t even joke about rape with your closest female friends, Christ if you think taunting women about rape is amusing then there’s something severely disturbingly maladjusted about you.

Thankfully the police are now investigating Carl Benjamin’s latest taunts of rape towards Jess Philips, I say ‘latest taunts’ because to my knowledge this started at least 3 years ago when Jess Philips stood up to Philip Davies who’s a misogynistic Tory MP for which she received a deluge of online abuse including rape & death threats & her personal response as a MP to this was to make it a priority to campaign against online abuse & cyberbullying, which of course was an affront to Sargon of Wankhard as this would no doubt threaten his livelihood of being abusive towards various individuals as well as sections of society & so his response was first to claim it was ‘satirical’ to say Jess Philips wasn’t worth raping & in the intervening years has continued to harass her via YouTube & social-media, now he’s explicitly made a direct threat of rape against her & well here’s hoping his arse is eventually dragged into court & he receives a custodial sentence.

I have to ask where have YouTube been in all this? Yes YouTube took down the video Sargon posted saying he might now rape Jess Philips after there was an avalanche of complaints about it, but considering YouTube has taken down entire channels which have (rightfully) criticised the Israeli government for operating an apartheid regime against the Palestinians, they only take down one or maybe two videos from Sargon’s channel & leave him a platform from where he can continue to taunt Jess Philips & whichever other female public figure he despises about raping them as well as all the other fuck awful hateful shite he regularly espouses.

What disturbs me nearly as much as Sargon’s threats of rape against Jess Philips, is the indifference of Labour grassroots activists to Philips being threatened with rape, true to say because Jess Philips hasn’t been quiet about criticising Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the party thus she’s not made herself the most popular MP with the Labour grassroots, however the bottom line isn’t what she has said or not said about Jeremy Corbyn, the bottom line is she’s being threatened with rape & being harassed by a fascist fuck, if you’re not prepared to defend her & speak out against the far-right harassment she’s receiving from the likes of Sargon then shame on you because essentially you’re insinuating she deserves it for having differing politics to you, which by the way gives weight to the argument of those critics who claim support for Corbyn is a cult, me thinks Corbyn supporters should do as Jeremy has done himself & publicly condemn the rape threats made against Jess Philips & do so fucking loudly!
