STARVATION IN THE UK



"We’ve watched our town centres deteriorate.

"We’re watched our communities decline...

"One in five children in my constituency go to bed hungry every night."

  1. Some people couldn't give a toss about the poor and starving, here Edward Snowdon is in a chat room with other libertarians and ultra conservatives. TheTrueHooha is Snowdon.


    The social dislocations of the financial collapse bothered him not at all. “Almost everyone was self-employed prior to 1900,” he asserted. “Why is 12% employment [sic] so terrifying?” In another chat-room exchange, Snowden debated the merits of Social Security:

    save money? cut this social security bullshit

    hahahayes

    Yeah! Fuck old people!

    social security is bullshit

    let’s just toss old people out in the street

    Old people could move in with [User11].

    NOOO

    they smell funny

    Somehow, our society managed to make it hundreds of years without social security just fine

    you fucking retards

    Magically the world changed after the new deal, and old people became made of glass.

    Later in the same session, Snowden wrote that the elderly “wouldn’t be fucking helpless if you weren’t sending them fucking checks to sit on their ass and lay in hospitals all day.”

    Snowden’s disgruntlement with Obama, in other words, was fueled by a deep disdain for progressive policies. The available postings by TheTrueHOOHA do show concerns about society’s “unquestioning obedience to spooky types,” but those date to 2010. Contrary to his claims, he seems to have become an anti-secrecy activist only after the White House was won by a liberal Democrat who, in most ways, represented everything that a right-wing Ron Paul admirer would have detested.

  2. Surely most of us are beyond the left/right model by now ? Though anyone who doesn't see the tentacles of spookdom in all these whistleblower episodes is beyond hope.
