The tyranny of Pride - It’s time for a fightback against rainbow authoritarianism.
Spiked ^ | 4 Sep, 2022 | BRENDAN O'NEILL

Imagine there was a political movement so powerful and so intolerant that you might be visited by the cops for making fun of it. A movement so dominant that desecrating its symbols came to be treated as a kind of blasphemy. A movement so fawned over by the elites that any town or village that refused to bow down to it – to wave its flag and shout its slogans – risked being written off as unsafe, and essentially as unclean. A movement so embedded in the ruling class that every wing of the establishment, from the political set to the military to the financial elite, was duty bound to display its insignia.

Well, such a movement exists, right here in 21st-century Britain. And it isn’t Toryism or ‘Brexshit’ or any of the other ideologies the liberal elite is constantly telling us to fear. It’s Pride.

We’re living under a tyranny of Pride. Its eyesore rainbow flag dominates every major highway during Pride month. Back in June London looked like a city under occupation, with vast boulevards like Regent Street festooned in this ugly new standard. Scores of them fluttered as far as the eye could see, in perfect and sinister militaristic formation. The capitalist class drapes itself in the Pride flag, too. Banks splash it across their windows, Morgan Stanley staff march behind it in the street. Even the armed wing of the state now comes in Pride colours. Cop cars have been repainted in the hues of this ideological rainbow. Top officers wear Pride-themed insignias and lanyards. The Ministry of Defence’s vast headquarters in London have been illuminated in the Pride colours. The Royal Air Force even did a flyover of the Pride march in London last year, with 10 fighter jets pumping out rainbow-coloured

These day’s you can’t make fun of the scum of society or the Woke Police will put you on their most wanted list and you will get death threats or get SWATTED by the scum (and I mean scum in only the most respectful way).

Nothing says “I’m oppressed” like having your group’s flags line every US downtown urban street for miles.

I think this video: Why Tumblr Died So Quickly is related to the subject at hand, namely The tyranny of XXX - It’s time for a fightback against XXX authoritarianism.

The video contains a couple of ads but you can just FF past them.

It's interesting how the author skips around politics, at one point even scrambling a politically-charged word; presumably to defeat YT's "filter" algorithm. See if you can spot this.

People who go around proclaiming how proud they are are really ashamed of themselves.

The LuggButt community has never been about or for pride. It is about forcing YOU to accept whatever THEY say as fact.

Do you have some sexual kinks that you want to indulge between consenting adults? Go for it. I might consider it perverse and not have anything to do with you, but ‘Ell, I might do that if you cheer for the wrong sports team.

But, don’t think for a moment that you have any right or expectation to get me to “APPROVE” of your choice.

Our local public high school has a “PRIDE” club and has had it for years. In answer to your next question, no, there is no Bible club at all . . .

“desecrating it’s symbols is a crime of blasphey. The Truth is, that the appropriation of the Rainbow itself is an act of blasphemy.

Rainbows are wonderful.
It’s terrible that a vast mib of
butt fiers have coopted the image.

I remember first seeing the flags , popping up all over the Castro dist in S.F. and thinking “ What the heck is all this?”

Interesting. Maybe this is why YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook are so keen on deplatforming anything even mildly controversial, at least on the right. They don't want to go the way of Tumblr.

Tumblr died when they went into utter intolerance mode against everything that wasn’t woke be it Trump, porn, guns, America, etc.

Can’t recall the last time anyone sent me a link to something on Tumblr.

These days all the links I get are either substack or Discord.

It was created, grew, shrank, and died without my being aware of it, except as the name of yet another social media site that I had no interest in using or visiting.

I have been using the term Rainbow-flag Cartel Party to name the current group that stole the election and is illegitimately running the country.

You can also call it Brandon.

Yes, and if they need the “acceptance” of people who don’t agree with their lifestyle, then even they know there is something morally wrong with their lifestyle.

The video pointed out an important point: how many of the Left’s various factions hate each other, where the Left can only stay unified if they can be made to focus on some common enemy.

If you put them all together in one room, the lesbians will fight with the trannies, black women will hate white Karens, etc.

Yes, exactly.

With smarter, more cynical operators fleecing them of money while they carry on with their antics.
