Readers of Country Squire Magazine will know that I often write about the fatuous brain-fart called animal rights, a mental parasite of ‘academics’ and well-fed, well-protected, largely urban civilians who are completely isolated from the natural world, leaving them with absolutely no understanding where their food or property actually come from.
They are the majority in any modern democracy and by the mathematics of the ballot they get to make the laws in accordance with their insulated civilian lives. Those laws, in turn, govern the administration of justice. Unfortunately, it is a justice that excludes rural people, realists and all those such as landowners, farmers and gamekeepers who work with or understand the limitations imposed by the reality of the natural world. Excluded from justice, they are outsiders, gazing in fury at the imposing walls of a thankless city they work so hard to feed, only to get peed upon from the ramparts that exclude them.
Because they encompass a thousand different activities that have to take cognisance of reality, I generally file them all under ROAR – Rural Outsiders And Realists. They can roar, but inside those city walls, modern urbanites have their eyes and ears filled with an alternative electronic reality – their familiar inside world is one of consumer comforts and their external world is one of pure digital fiction. The natural world outside is unknown to them because they have exported all their supply-side primary industries, slavery and environmental costs to the third world.
Out of sight, out of mind.
The only time urbanites are aware of the ROAR is the roar of 1000 tractors invading their personal micro-routines. The only time they will even think of ROAR is when their eyes fall upon the horror of an empty food delivery website where the “buy now” button doesn’t work. They are today’s modern urban majority and, insulated from reality, they are divorced from the ROAR.
With the addictive ability to assemble any kind of personal subjective reality using two thumbs and no brain cells, urbanites are fragile, vulnerable people.
Alex Story’s excellent piece, Sacrificing Others For Your Benefit (CSM, February 17th) revealed just how vulnerable by quoting Jim Murphy, “the Professional Managerial Class has perfected a system of moral blackmail through which they convert third world suffering into personal wealth and status”. This was in the context of “International Aid”, but it applies to much of modern life – cut off from reality by electronic media, people are easily ripped off by charlatans who first remind them of the suffering that their living standards have exported to the third world and then enjoy a strong mixture of blackmail and absolution, using taxpayers’ money and donations.
It is the same with “Conservation”. The ROAR must contend with a constant rain of pee from modern urban civilians led astray by parasites. To paraphrase Murphy, “the Politicised Animal Non-Government Organisations (PANGOs) have perfected a system of moral blackmail through which they convert wild animal suffering into personal wealth and status”. Typical UK PANGOs are the parasites Ban Trophy Hunting campaign and Wild Justice, both of whom feature the UK’s high priest of PANGO, Christopher Gary Packham.
The biggest PANGO, is of course, the global parasite Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), sitting on assets of nearly half a billion $$$$. It has recently changed its name to Humane World for Animals (HWA), allowing it to spread its invasive, blood-sucking mycelium into every corner of the globe without betraying its source.
So there you are, Squires…. your never-ending problems are a spectrum of deceit, from the nation-hating, farm-harming Liebour Party Comintern of Comrade Starmer to the urine of urban sheep herded by the PANGOs.
ROAR louder.
John Nash grew up in West Cornwall and was a £10 pom to Johannesburg in the early 1960’s. He started well in construction project management, mainly high-rise buildings but it wasn’t really Africa, so he went bush, prospecting and trading around the murkier bits of the bottom half of the continent. Now retired back in Cornwall among all the other evil old pirates. His interests are still sustainable resources, wildlife management and the utilitarian needs of rural Africa. John is the co-author of Dear Townies with the Editor and his book, “Animal Rights, complete and utter bullsh*t” both available on Amazon.
