Griffin appearance marks serious defeat for political correctness
The http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2495 of British National Party chair Nick Griffin at the Oxford Union Society was a major victory for serious prowhite politics, and a multilayered historic defeat for the politics of censorship and hatred.
Griffin’s appearance before the venerable Oxford Union came after a blizzard of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2489, the black chairman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission said that “I think it is an absolute disgrace. As a former president of the National Union of Students I’m ashamed that this has happened.”
Despite the usual calls to withdraw the invitation, Nick Griffin and historian David Irving defied a desperate mob scene outside the venue and appeared to debate the question of free speech. Using the example of the great Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600 for proposing a theory of heliocentrism, Griffin pointed out that each age has its own sacred cows, and expresses illogical hatred of those who dare question them. He made his points as the baying rabble outside howled for his blood and called for the death of the Oxford Union’s chairman. Members of the audience, some of whom had to scale fences to get in, had been pelted with eggs, while some of the leftists broke through a thin police cordon and stormed into the hall. One young girl was shown on the BBC boasting that her gang had occupied the podium and pounded the hall piano before being ejected.This kind of childish behavior masks a much deeper fear among the politically correct, who accurately see Griffin’s appearance as yet another sign that their ideologically bankrupt monopoly of public discourse is coming to an end. And what scares them is the fact that their old tactics of intimidation, pressure and manipulation of language no longer work.
Recently a pro forma “expose” by a leading English daily newspaper “outed” a number of British National Party members who are part of the Establishment. What seemed to upset the politically correct was that the article showed the fact that the BNP is not a collection of poor, unschooled angry young white males, but is instead able to present a message that is accepted by people with some degree of influence. Two factors seem to have gone into this BNP success: the course of objective events and the willingness of the British National Party leadership to adapt to changing conditions. Mass immigration is one objective event that forces people to choose a side. White flight is increasingly less of an option; there’s nowhere left to run. But whereas before much of the organized opposition to Third World immigration was locked into cycles of violence, irrelevancy, extremism and fringe thinking, the BNP have consciously developed their tone, emphasis and overall thinking, the kind of adaptation to reality that draws the kind of people necessary for success.
The politically correct have long depended on a kind of game to maintain their power. By using buzzwords (“Nazi” and “racist”) they have been able to silence dissent without any debate. In this they have often been aided by their supposed enemies (often with help), who seem to cheerfully embrace marginalization. The absolute dependence by the politically correct on this kind of dumbshow is the reason why the craziest, least serious lunatic people and groups get blanket media coverage, especially when some serious event is in the news. No normal white person wants to have anything to do with hatred and evil, or with those who embrace it.
Thus Griffin’s Oxford appearance was a shock to the far left and those in the Establishment they serve. By giving Griffin a “respectable” platform, Oxford showed that his ideas are also respectable to a growing number of people. The left’s hysterical response was almost exactly the opposite of what they should have done. As a result of their behavior they have shown themselves to be desperate. They also force people to take a side: once people realize that they are repelled by the idea that a small group of self righteous activists should think it has the right to determine who may or may not speak, the ideas that are being attacked become that much more credible. The Oxford protest also showed a fact that the politically correct don’t like: they are the extremists. The naked hypocrisy shown by their behavior at such an event showed just how fringe their ideas, cloaked in noises about “tolerance,” genuinely are.
While the appearance of Nick Griffin doesn’t of course signal an imminent change in the UK’s fortunes, or a mass recruitment of Oxford students, it does come as a sign of the slowly but changing fact that a nationalist message is here to stay.
