In response to How anti-China witch hunts in Canada and the UK ruin lives

The Lord of the Flies revisited

The sheer racial infantilism of the Anglo-Saxon elites and their security service underlings put me in mind of Golding’s Lord of the Flies. “Maybe there is a beast… Maybe it’s only us!”, seems to summarise the childish brutishness of our so-called security services. They seem to spend their entire lives projecting their own vacuous and depraved predispositions onto racially less worthy “opponents”, that they have confected in their fevered imaginings.

Their lives seem to reflect the barbarity of the playground as they look all around them and see themselves reflected back to them in all their childish fantasising.

Rationality and fact are utterly absent from their infantile hallucinations. They are a far greater threat to our civilisation that the enemies they devise to frighten us.
