Pigdogfucker

So I was doing a bit of drunken-Twitter-trolling:

Even if Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi was guilty, 180 of the people he topped were American and hence don’t count #anywayhewasnt

Of the remainder, 79 were non-Yanks who chose to fly on a Yank airline, and hence clearly of unsound mind #anywayhewasnt

On the other hand, killing 11 innocent Scots is still quite a bad thing to do #anywayhewasnt

At this point, Hungbunny won all of the internets and more, and almost drove me to give up trying to be funny about politics forever, with:

This isn’t even funny, it’s pathetic. Either:

a) it’s a lie. Terrorism is irrelevant; it always has been irrelevant; about 1/10,000 the number of people who die annually from smoking may die of it in the UK but really so fucking what; and anyone who’d accept so much as crossing the fucking street to deal with politicians’ gibbering self-important fantasies that it matters is a clueless cuntard; or

b) it’s true. Terrorism is important; the fact that it’s entirely trivial and has never made a blind bit of difference to anyone other than gibbering paranoid morons is irrelevant; the darkies are going to slaughter us all in our beds; and so any government minister who’d tip off said darkies that our brave boys are tracking a Big Scary Terror Gang is a despicable treasonous bastard.

You can’t have it both ways. And even though anyone who didn’t pick a) would be certifiably mad, at least they wouldn’t be as despicably hypocritical as someone who claimed there were options other than a) or b) on offer…

I hope all my readers had a happy November 9 yesterday.

The thing I found interesting this time round is that this kind of jolly jape (and c’mon, it is) now shows a comments ratio of one grumpy po-faced “I lost my hat in the attacks, you CALLOUS BASTARDS” fuckwit to hundreds of LOLz. Even a couple of years ago you could guarantee a massive flamewar of po-faced cunts versus callous gets; now the callous gets have won. Which is as it should be.

If you lost anyone in the attacks and feel offended by this post, they were probably a wanker anyway, and one of the last things to go through their mind before their demise was almost certainly how glad they’d be to get away from you.

Just noticed this old-ish thread on Rachel’s site (I linked to the post at the time, but the comments have sprawled somewhat since then).

Antipholus Papps, sometime of this parish, makes a pretty reasonable point (and gets utterly crucified by self-righteous cunts for his pains):

the reason that some people question what happened on 7 July 2005 is down to the government being a bunch of lying murderous bastards who start wars on false premises.

NB if you’re as stupid as some of the respondents in the original thread, you might take this as implying that either the bombings were excused by the Iraq war, or that they were done by the government. He isn’t saying that.

He’s saying that since the government have lied about more or less everything, particularly regarding evidence of Terrorism and Evil Stuff, to disbelieve their narrative concerning the biggest example of Terrorism and Evil Stuff we’ve seen domestically is hardly unreasonable.

Now, as Rachel’s original piece makes clear, the government has released credible evidence that the July 7 bombings were indeed carried out by the four people reported as carrying them out, for the purposes for which they were reported as carrying them out. So, as I’ve said elsewhere, people who continue to believe the conspiracy narrative are daft cunts.

But this evidence was released in the conspiracy trials that took place in spring 2008 – which means that there was a period of nearly three years where accepting that the July 7 bombings took place as reported meant uncritically believing the words of people who are known to lie about This Sort Of Thing.

I don’t know about you, but I’m reluctant to blame anyone for their historical reluctance to uncritically believe the words of liars…
