Cruelty to animals is one of the top predictors for sociopaths and their subset psychopaths, so I can confidently speculate what an institution dedicated to the practice would like get up to if it had half a chance. Already devoid of empathy and mired in the belief that their own traditions have inherently superior value, all it takes is that next step in dehumanisation that you can see in almost every piece about refugees and asylum seekers. What is this obsession with borders if not an enlarged fear of foxes in the henhouse?

Well, I just made the mistake of watching a Joe Rogan video on Youtube.

Might as well cut out the algorythmic middle-man and go straight to Pornhub to watch self congratulatory masturbation
You may quote me on that.

It's hyperbolic to say that all fox hunters are on a slippery slope to murdering immigrants.  I've never been a fan of fox hunting, and I hate the phrase "loony left", but if one were left-leaning and one were to say that fox-hunting is tantamount to people-hunting, then one would be talking like a loon (wot is left).  Wouldn't one?  What, what?

Hyperbole? On the Political Thread?  Surely some mistake?

It's probably quite damning enough to say that foxhunters enjoy terrifying and torturing small animals while parading around looking like the cavalry regiment of the KKK, but I like to draw that extra line that casts aspersions on what else that type of institution might secretly be into, a conclusion that is given some small weight by the strong correlation between psychopathic murderers and animal cruelty. Using overwhelming force to kill,  taking pleasure in the pain of the weak.  I flick my gaze in the direction of the Trump boys. Certain activities and the attitudes they display make me deeply suspicious about what else goes on in the minds of the participants.

In short I hate the practice with every fibre of my being, and I want you to too, working through the deployment of a rhetorical device.

Don't get me started on fly-tippers and people who break young trees.

Then, when the "hunt" is over, some of them jet off to Bilderberg meetings (in Gotham).

It has been said that certain of the "elite" families raise their offspring to be sociopaths - wouldn't want something trivial like empathy jeopardising all that lovely power and wealth. Whether this is true or not I don't know but Tordels' mention of fox hunting and its practices and traditions lends some circumstantial weight to this idea.

How long before this 'Yellow Vest' thing gets hi-jacked and used to spread fear and dissent, you reckon?

What?




Oh.

Exactly like that, legibility and good taste being torn apart by the hounds of ignorance.

Typical hyperbole of the hard left Stalinist Lennonist Marxist cultural cucktard brigade.  It is a recorded fact that the vast majority of foxhunters rarely go on to tear any other living being apart with dogs apart from other foxes.  Foxhunters aren't sexually aroused by immigrants.
Foxhunting as a gateway to other acts of violent sexual depravity simply hasn't been scientifically proven.  Those pedophile rings and the culture of Nazi fetishism found in the upper classes are entirely unrelated phenomena.

Oh for fuck's sake.  Someone compares fox hunters to murderers and somehow it's weird to point out that's a bit of an extreme position to take?

On my planet the sky is blue.

On a related note, blaming the upper classes for Brexit (or anti-immigration) is just odd as all get out, given that the referendum was won by over 50%.  They're hardly upper class if they make up over half the country.  Every time I watch the news, they're interviewing working class bigots who "don't want none of 'em scroungers round 'ere", not posh twits on horses.

Yes, like this.

What a wonderfully potty story - reminds me of "Three Lions" a bit.

"...over to his Army property where they spent an evening firing arrows at a burning cross in the back garden."


Then you get to those last two paragraphs and it's all about our secret policing bodies being given more to do to combat this kind of hateful buffoonery.

Have you noticed the type of people that are cheerleading these attitudes from the political arena? Do Rees-Mogg and Johnson strike you as working-class? Do dishonest/disingenuous politicians and their copiously funded media campaigns have no influence?

Yes, it was an extreme position to equate fox-hunting with the Deadliest Game, and as noted it was a rhetorical device intended to compare the pageantry and enthusiastic cruelty of the hunt to the way refugees and immigrants are characterised as vermin, and much joy and satisfaction is taken in their 'control'. Both attitudes display the same pragmatic justifications that in my opinion actually mask a disturbing lack of simple empathy and an inherent pleasure in applying personal and institutional superiority to cause pain in the vulnerable. I suspect - and criminal psychology supports my view - that these attitudes and practices are common in the same people.

I apologise for not being relentlessly literal.
