The Right Wing Wankers Blame Game

ON

You got raped? Well if that skirt had been a little longer, if that beer had been a little weaker, if you had been home knitting it would never have happened. You brought if on yourself by wanting to be female while interacting with society on any level at all.

You got beaten up while gay? Well if you would just accept that no-one else wants to see your affection for your partner it would never have happened. You brought it on yourself for holding the hand of your partner in public.

You are poor and hungry? Well you only have yourself to blame. Get a second job. Oh you have one already? Then get a third. You cannot expect a living wage in a low skilled occupation. You brought it on yourself by not getting that bigger and better job, work harder dammit.

You are young and black and get killed by the police? Well, surely you know that taking mindless instruction from the overseer is your lot in life? You failed to do so? You are dead? You brought in yourself by having the audacity to walk down the street.

There is a flood, a drought, a tornado or a hurricane? A community destroyed, people dead, people injured. You brought it on yourself, because ……..the gay, Obama, Hillary, immigrants, the 'elite', reproductive justice, etc et al– tick all that apply!.

You are not white, not male, and not successful? You brought it on yourself for being nothing like them. You brought it on yourself, just because they say so.

I hate them

Demographics are changing and women, especially, are becoming more organized to create a fairer society. The powers that be see their iron grip slipping so they are going to the mat to protect their control. Ultimately, they will lose. However, things will likely get very ugly in the meantime.
