Opposite World

I’m old enough to remember being advised never to use the public toilets at Piccadilly Circus because the place was crawling with undercover constables, in unconvincing white polo necks with policemen’s boots poking out from their skinny jeans, liable to arrest you for catching their eye at the urinal. In those days, they’d cuff you if they thought you were looking for gay sex. Now they cruise around trying to jolly you into giving it a go.

  1. `Progressive`Western society seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Steyn sees the absurdity of this and smartly uses the absurd as the basis for his humour. Unfortunately, things will sooner or later turn tragic as we go further and further down the rabbit hole.

  2. From the closing paragraph of Mark’s column…
    “A closing thought from Mark Steyn Club member Tim Neilson:
    Re the affluent crowd’s virtue signalling about Syrian refugees, there was a great line here in Australia which I regret very much not being able to attribute:
    ‘Margaret Thatcher famously said that the problem with socialism was that you eventually run out of other people’s money. Similarly, the problem with open borders lunacy is that eventually you run out of other people’s neighbourhoods.”
    Perhaps a new heading Kate, “the problem with open borders is that eventually you run out of other people’s neighborhoods”
    .

  3. And also from the Steyn comments section … Steven Payne writes: That’s because no one expects…. the Trannish Inquisition!
    I suspect that is exactly what UnTran is cheering … the Trannish Inquistion (apologies to John Cleese, and Co.). It’s never about equality … it’s about “getting even”. Gay “marriage” has nothing to do with LOVE … it is all about HATE … hate for Christianity. Hate of Christians. So much HATE, that the enemy (Islam) of their enemy (Christianity) is their “friend”. Yeah, right up until the time their newfound friend eats them alive and puts them in more rigid chains than ever bound them in a Christian culture.

  4. Spot on Kenji. I’ll add that the only reason the left now hates russia and Putin is because they protect the family unit (as it is supposed to be) from the left’s threats and indoctrination. The laws that Russia has should be the laws everywhere.
    The family unit of mother, father and children is the cornerstone of a functioning society and culture. The left knows this so they are trying to destroy it. The Russian people and Putin know what’s right and have made laws to protect themselves. Excellent.
    (hehe, my captcha was “bathroom road”)

  5. Another Beauty from das Steynmeister.
    Britain. A stupid little country. What Canada wants to be when it grows up.

  6. And thank you Patrick for endorsing my observations that are patently true … but the Left conceals from public view … that their HATE of all things Russian (and Eastern European for that matter) and HATE for Putin is because of his intolerance of homosexuality as a State policy. Add to that the virtually 100% Caucasian demographics … and you’ve got a recipie for leftist HATE. What is their expressed reason for HATING Putin? What? He has sided with his longtime ally Assad in Syria? What? He sells natural gas to Europe for top dollar? Phleeze! The real genesis of their HATE is heterophobia.
    And allow me to add that the left’s systematic disassembling of the family into whatever form they choose … is being played out across the streets of America as the predictably POOR, disenchanted, disenfranchised (their word, not mine) LOSERS protest about the “privilege” of kids from “intact families” (read “traditional” heterosexual families). Wahhh … they have accumulated college debt, because their single mother couldn’t afford to help. Wahhhh … they never had a father to discipline them and a mother to love them (or the reverse) … so they now resent their single mother enabler. Wahhh … hey all you “alternative lifestyle” proponents … did you REALLY believe that your one mommy, or two daddies, or one grandmother was equal to a man and a woman ? Trust me … I grew up in a fragmented, dysfunctional, excuse of a family … and I had to fight twice as hard as my friends who came from a prototypical nuclear family. But I knew I was disadvantaged … I wasn’t dumb-enough to “celebrate” my disadvantage in some misguided effort to make me “feel better about myself”. The left = the pathway to DEATH.

  7. Steyn’s genius is his ability to write a most entertaining and accurate documentary on the cultural collapse of Western civilization.

    “Indeed. As irritating as things are today, they were far worse in the past”
    They were worse? I can’t wait until Islam catches you fagging out in public bathrooms, you’ll pine for the “good ol days”.

  9. “Steyn’s genius is his ability to write a most entertaining and accurate documentary on the cultural collapse of Western civilization.”
    And you got to admit he’s damned good at making the Pompous look like the pathetic little putzes that they are. Nobody can nut and gut like Steyn.

  10. Talking about far worse, predating Mark Steyn’s time was the 1950’s. In these public toilets were hideous old men. Their targets were youths. Nobody did damn all at the time. Just that concerned people warned youths off.
    Ok. Here is the classic case. The eventual manager of the Beatles, was persuaded or willing with an ugly old thug of a dock worker. This in a public toilet. The youth left his wallet there. His parents very rich and owned a big furniture store in Liverpool. The thug attempted to blackmail the parents. Sensibly they set him up. He glowered at the youth in court as he got three years jail.
    All true.

  11. “Britain. A stupid little country. …”
    A great country, warts and all, for generations, until they went soft and let Labour have it for a couple generations of social engineering. Which mistake Canada has copied, with our own progressives and socialists erasing the successes and achievements of the past so it is easier to persuade the masses that the chocolate ration has been increased from only one pound to three whole ounces. (Of carob.)

  12. Who the heck is still paying any attention the damned poms? They surrendered their country to the descendants of the pashtun goatherds without even firing a shot, and they still think they get to make fun of the military prowess of the Italians and French?
    Oh damn, the poms are priceless… Hey go hard, you chinless wonders! At least you get to master a silly walk or two… Yes the UK now truly is just a sh**ty little country – Bangladesh with higher rates of incest, crappier weather and lousy food.
    And UnMe seems bound amd determined, no matter the obstacles we deign to throw in his way, to convince the rest of us, with all his might, that he is a pathetic basement-dwelling new-age neo-paedophile flamer with a penchant for twinks, white wine and vaseline methinks…

  13. “the problem with open borders lunacy is that eventually you run out of other people’s neighbourhoods.”
    DAFUQ does this even mean? What is he even talking about? For one, no one has open borders. America did back in the 19th century, and it did not run out of anyone’s neighborhoods.
    “The laws that Russia has should be the laws everywhere. ”
    Feel free to move to that backwards shi*thole bereft of freedom of speech or most other rights. You may have to jostle past the crowds leaving; Russia has a huge emigration problem. That’s why they are what they are: all the brains left.
    Also: Mark Steyn is completely FOS. There’s no evidence of ‘no go zones’ or Muslims taking over western countries. The guy is also a total d-bag if even half of what I heard about his involvement with ‘conservative TV’ is true.

  14. ” the UK now truly is just a sh**ty little country – Bangladesh”
    Yes, that seems like a totally lucid comparison. Not at all insane.

  15. kenji sorry to correct you but currently
    RUSSIAS military is about 25-30% muslim.
    by 2040 it will be over 50%.

  16. -“the problem with open borders lunacy is that eventually you run out of other people’s neighbourhoods.”

    – did not run out of anyone’s neighborhoods.
    —You need to get out more, travel and take a look. I did. There are several places in paris you can’t step foot in…And neither will the cops.
    –What you’re telling me is that not very friendly soldier I saw on the street in Paris is merely there to add to the decor.
    –oh and the ‘aesthetic barrier’ being added around the Eiffel Tower is in response to wily ‘youths’.
    -Also: Mark Steyn is completely FOS. There’s no evidence of ‘no go zones’ or Muslims taking over western countries. The guy is also a total
    -d-bag if even half of what I heard about his involvement with ‘conservative TV’ is true.
    Wow. So this is what it is like to see somebody become completely untethered from reality.
    You’re lucky that Katewerk puts up with you, I would have dispensed with your clown act years ago. It gets tiring. Maybe she should put it to a vote.

    Hell No!
    UnMe is the useful idiot that keeps giving and giving. Watch Ben Shapio use the same sort of retards at his University speeches to highlight the insanity his target audience faces. UnMe is seriously a boom resource of abundant idiocy that SDA uses over and over every day to prove it’s necessity to get it’s message out.
    Thinking people now how to a resource, UnMe is like a dumb whore you don’t need to pay.

  18. “No there isn’t. That’s a lie. Stop lying.” – UnMe
    Heres a report by French Television that contradicts the terrorist sympathizer UnMe.

    I dunno who should I believe?/……yea I’ll pick the homosexual jihadi loving troll over my own lying eyes…..heh

  19. I’ll watch this later but I am pretty sure it’s BS or not what you’re claiming. Do they actually have proof of places in France outside of government control where outsiders don’t tread? Doubt it.

  20. “The laws that Russia has should be the laws everywhere. ”

    The backwards craphole is right here and in America allowing the degenerate marxists to destroy our society and culture through the attempted destruction of the family. Canada and America right now act just like biblical Rome right now. Too many of our citizens are acting like Romans with their anything goes attitudes. I look forward to a much needed fall for all of those types of citizens.
