It doesn't matter what excuse you use to destroy
freedom of expression; Allah, Jesus, body shaming, body confidence, et al - the only point of
importance is the consequence: freedom of expression is destroyed.
I am sitting behind my keyboard this morning, mouth open, stunned. And, fair to say, distraught – I don’t write that last lightly. My plight started with reading of further authors protesting PEN’s intention to give French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo an American freedom of expression award; that number now reaching two dozen – confirming everything I have written in this piece on how a Progressive literature is the death of a literature that can resist tyranny anymore, and so part only of the western capitulation into another iteration of statist tyrannies.
Then
the truly unbelievable: this advertisement is today banned in England by their
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA):
Worse
is the ASA’s
reasoning:
"Although the
ad won't appear in the meantime, [banned], we've launched an investigation to
establish if it breaks harm and offence rules or is socially irresponsible,"
the spokesperson added.
"We will now
carefully and objectively – [objectively? What the fuck?] - explore the complaints that have prompted
concerns around body confidence and promptly publish our findings."
The ad, which
stars bikini-clad Australian model Renee Sommerfield, asks whether commuters
are "beach body ready" in a promotion for weight loss aids.
It’s
as simple as this: a private company has had an advert for their weight loss
aids banned because it used the image of a bikini clad women. Restating the
above:
“…
we’ve launched an investigation to establish if [the picture of a bikini clad
woman] breaks harm and offence rules or is socially irresponsible.’
No,
this is not from some dreadful Middle Eastern theocracy, but add to this that
the firm running the ad, Protein World, is now receiving death threats, and the
comparison contained in my title to this piece becomes obvious. It doesn't matter what excuse you use to destroy freedom of expression; Allah, Jesus, body shaming, body confidence, et al - the only point of importance is the consequence: freedom of expression is destroyed. To every
mindless moron of Generation Airhead Feminism who joined this campaign, are you
even able to make the barest glimmering of how evil that sentence is? And how contradictory?’
Every
gain made by older generation feminists, such as [the fuming] Mrs H, since
Emily Davison threw herself under a horse, and the bras were burnt – especially
this latter - is lost in that single sentence. Utterly lost. Renee Sommerfield,
the model in this advert points to it: quite apart from the Sharia closing down
of free expression, this
is body shaming:
"I think nearly every ad campaign you have ever
seen is open to interpretation. But saying the ad is body shaming by body
shaming the image is very contradictory," she tells HuffPost UK Lifestyle
exclusively. "Two wrongs don't make a right."
Just
as Generation Airhead Feminism body shamed Rosetti Scientist Matt Taylor, and demonised
his eccentric individualism.
But
it’s the wilful destruction of free expression and free speech, born
of wilful ignorance, that really hurts. And that it’s the prevailing ethic:
I’ve already written last month on New Zealand Marxist Giovanni
Tiso’s further campaign against
free speech by trying to have TV host Mike Hosking fired for comments he made on
#ponytailgate. All roads lead to the Sharia advertisement ban of this
morning. If there’s something these draconian bastards don’t agree with, the
first instinct of their umbrage taking is to shut it down. And use the fist
of state to do so. We have feminist theocracy, and this
morning they have instituted feminist sharia on us all. A free life cannot be
had without a love for difference:
but difference, and individualism, is to be shut down in all its expressions of life and living.
Where
does it end? Because all bets are off.
Generation
Airhead Marxist feminism has turned itself into the nightmare Orwell wrote of
in his novel 1984, ‘the boot stamping on a human face, forever.’
It’s
over – the free society: it’s over. Tyranny wins again, as we are herded into
the prison of each other’s minds, freedom setting against a pale, grey Western
sky, before the blood red sunrise of the new state gulags that are coming.
Honestly,
I feel like crying. How the hell did this happen?
