The left is at war with reality and is always busy constructing a fantasy world in which its delusions are true. The construction of these fantasies has become a veritable cottage industry, and that industry is booming in Britain even more than it is in the U.S. A new play shows how it works, and how far from reality the left has really strayed.
Saturday, The Spectator reviewed a new play called “Expendable,” which you can catch, if you have the stomach, until Dec. 21 at London’s venerable West End theatre, The Royal Court. According to The Spectator, “Expendable” is “an urgent bulletin from the front line of the grooming gang scandal in the north of England.” The Royal Court website is no less effusive, saying: “Playwright Emteaz Hussain‘s Expendable spotlights the often-overlooked voices of Pakistani women, delving into the shortcomings of law enforcement, politicians, and the media.”

“The setting,” The Spectator tells us, “is a kitchen in Yorkshire where Zara is trying to keep her family together after her son, Raheel, was outed as a rape suspect by a national newspaper.” It’s not just the shame of the charge; it’s the attendant harassment from racist Englishmen: “White thugs dump parcels of excrement on their porch and Zara cowers under the kitchen table, too scared to answer the door. The racists have mounted a mass demonstration, supported by the cops, which causes local bus services to be cancelled.”
This is essentially a one hundred percent inversion of the reality in Britain today. There aren’t any “white thugs” who are menacing poor, huddled groups of fearful Muslims under the approving eye of the police. Instead, far-left Prime Minister Keir Starmer has earned the nickname “Two-Tier Keir” for cracking down harshly on the mildest of protests against ... the Islamization of Britain...

This reminds me of what someone said about why the left can’t meme:
They live in a very carefully constructed, blatantly false view of reality. Memes rely on a kernel of truth to be funny. If you deny truth you can’t meme.
I don’t remember where I saw this or who came up with it, but it certainly applies to this story.
makes sense, and quite apparent on X
From the same people who brought you plays fantasizing about the assassination of Donald Trump, George Bush and Margaret Thatcher.
BTTT
theater is dying, the left is killing it with crap like this
Theater died years ago. It was patient zero for the woke cancer. Some years back l got dragged to the Cinderella musical. It billed itself as being a return to the traditional story. The Prince was an entitled clueless idiot and a main character was a enlightened socialist community organizer who had to “educate” the prince about the inequities in the village. Cinderella of course was a strong girl boss who did not need a Prince.
“The left is at war with reality and is always busy constructing a fantasy world in which its delusions are true.”
That’s pretty much accepted as true. It’s existed throughout human history, and will continue in the future. But what’s never addressed is what causes a big chunk of the population to hate and constantly fight reality.
What human trait causes that, and what controls that trait?
I’m pretty convinced that it has a very strong genetic component.
Conservatives look at this imperfect world and try to make the best of it using lessons learned through the millennia. Leftists look at the same world and see nothing but injustices, and to them the definition of injustice is inequality. And seeing any inequality causes them pain, real pain. A physical reaction, causing them to want to blow up the status quo, replace it with their perfect fantasy, and thus assuage their pain.
I’m convinced such a physical reaction, can only come from genetics. Maybe one of these days we’ll discover the “leftist genes” and “conservative genes”,and finally eradicate this mental disease.
I guarantee you that if they actually discovered genes that determined whether one would be conservative or liberal, they wouldn’t be turning the conservative ones off...
Only if we let them.
But if they did, they would be committing suicide.
Sooner than later reality gets its revenge.
