A bizarre hostility

[TwoWhalesInAPool]

Man proclaiming to be a ‘classical liberal’ actually just a racist​

In a stunning turn of events, a man claiming to be a follower of “Western Liberalism” is not an provocateur desiring to keep people and markets free of state interference, but rather an ignorant man with a bizarre hostility towards dark-skinned people.

Ray Cyst, a pub landlord who refers to soldiers as ‘the lads’ on social media despite having no connection to the military, insisted that his beliefs were the logical interpretation of philosophical principles and not just a fear of foreigners put into his head by tabloids.

He explained, “People say I’m a reactionary, but I’m actually a product of the Enlightenment. It’s after watching Paradise Lost by Milton Keynes that I understood that the natural condition of a man is to be free to wave a shotgun at travellers, gays, immigrants and anyone with dark skin.

“I don’t hate Bulgarians because morons working at the Daily Mail, who wouldn’t piss on me if I was on fire, have carefully and deliberately put me in a state of permanent anxiety and fear of losing something that never really existed. No. I hate them because I have studied the great liberal thinkers of the past like Locke, Adams Smiths, Hobbes and his over-imaginative child friend. Or at least I’ve heard of them.

“I’ve even got to page 47 of Atlas Shrugged. So don’t you go and call me a racist whenever I say we should force all Muslims to say they love the King more than Allah.”

The trend for irritating bigots to call themselves classical liberals is believed to have started in 1998 on American Ivy League campuses by smug little rich pricks trying to explain why they wanted coke legalised but not same-sex marriage.

Pretty sure Classical Liberalism started way before that.
Was kind of a big thing in the 17th century in Europe.
It did however pre date that as an idea back into the middle ages, which was from the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century.

Not saying its right, it's pretty idiotic simply because it's old and was coexistant with religion which was resposible for health care by praying etc.
Most people dont have any idea what it actually means, just buzz words.

Just a point.
