We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata wat of the day From the end of a BBC news article:
More than 500 Britons are believed to have travelled to join IS.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said the UK government’s position was “probably going to lead to accusations of double standards”.
He said if Britons went to Syria and were suspected of trying to join IS they would get their “collar felt at Heathrow” – but there “seems to be a silence about people going to fight on the other side”.
Wat.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Yes, the epic stupid is strong in this one. It is a bit like having a double standard between diseases and doctors
Strictly speaking, they would also probably be guilty under the anti-terrorism act. Helping the French Resistance would also probably have been a crime under that act.
Yeah, Lord Haw Haw was hanged but Churchill, who also made wartime broadcasts, was allowed to live out his life in peace. Double standards.
Them going to Syria is not a problem, and it should be encouraged. Just don’t let them come back.
This man was shot and put in a wheelchair by Islamist terrorists – but he still thinks we must be fair to them, not be biased against them.
There is cure for this level of mental confusion.
However, Mr Gardiner is not alone – the education system (the schools and universities) produce vast numbers of “liberals” like him.
Is the French a Foreign Legion now verboten?
Isn’t he a Muslim convert?
I don’t know if he converted to the Religion of Peace, but as Paul Marks said, he was shot and badly wounded a few years ago, while a cameraman working with him, Simon Cumbers (whom I knew quite well when I trained with him as a journalist) was killed.
The moral blindness of so many people in such roles as this man is so widespread that the sadness is that it is not really remarkable any more.
Of course, if you say things as harsh and true as the Prime Minister of Israel, then of course you are a crazed warmonger.
It seems to me that the BBC correspondent in question is not atypical in his views iof people in that background, I believe that in the Foreign Office they call them ‘Arabists’, like Kim Philby’s father.
Mr Gardner’s Wikipedia bio, if accurate, might be said to show a particular fondness for the Arab World, despite being shot as his Saudi minders ran away.
I’m glad Samizdata has picked up on this. I don’t know whether the comment is indicative of stupidity on the part of Gardner or the mindset of the BBC. I suspect the latter: in their hand-wringing moral equivalence they probably genuinely believe there is no difference between ISIS and those who go to fight them.
The BBC’s Radio 4 PM programme today did appear to distance itself a little from this view, noting that prosecutions for terrorism require evidence of terrorism and must be in the public interest, so fighting against a group that the RAF is bombing (or strafing, rocketing etc.) in a less than half-arsed way by Sir Arthur Harris’s yardsticks, might, they mused, not be the same as lopping the head off someone for having a rumbling stomach at the thought of a bacon sandwich.
It plays out of the often made observation that the British ruling class (which would include the BBC) act like proconsuls in their own country. From their point of view ISIS is attacking the west, but that isn’t them. As representatives of a distant empire, they are above such things.
As others have remarked, presumably they plan to get in their spaceship and leave with the other lizards if things get too sticky.
It is a disease of the left mind, there was an article but on the ABC (Oz version of BBC) in their comments section about an Australian killed fighting against IS.
The article is fairly weak sauce and spends most of its time wringing its hands over why he did it and comparing it to a suicide he knew.(no really).
But the comments section is full of slobbering leftist trolls.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-03/elliott-what-drove-my-mate-to-die-fighting-is/6276010
:..There is reluctance to criticise eulogies. It is not politically correct to criticise the dead.
But, I an horrified at this article that subtly promotes war, violence and risk-taking that puts innocents in harms way. What drove his mate? Exactly this culture. Promoted by our politicians, media, games, sport. And our “defence” industry…”
…..
“…I’m sorry, perhaps I don’t understand, but from my perspective your mate was a blood thirsty thug in need of therapy not a war. Sad indeed.
He is also the type of person our Defence Forces adore, but should perhaps ensure that they never recruit…”
And lots and lots of “hes the same as those who went and fought for IS.
Its a terrible disease of the brain when you can mistake the head hacking savages with those who go and fight against them.
thefrollickingmole,
At the risk of abuse for mentioning the ‘vile eugenicist’ Stoddard, “The worse thing about war is it kills off the best men.”
An ordinary mortal man, identifying evil in the world, takes up arms to stop it. And according to the callow beardless boys cowering in coffee shops, he’s the one with the problem?
This is nothing more than Marxism.
When they criticize the guy that went combat IS they are not criticizing him to fight IS, or the PC aspect, or the violence, that is just a sideshow to hide the real cause.
They are criticizing him because he represents an active and willing Western Civilization.
He as representative of the Western Civilization must be destroyed or neutralized.
Marxists raison s’etre is to destroy Western Civilization, the checks and balances first of all which forbids the existence of the Savior/Totalitarian Leader/Regime that the Left wants.
So any symbol, any behavior that represents Western Civilization is attacked regardless. It is Leftism sole cause. There is nothing else in the Leftism. All other so called causes are opportunistic.
“your mate was a blood thirsty thug in need of therapy not a war”
Is this comment just an excuse?
Here we have as unambiguous an evil as one will ever find, and I am not going to fight it forthwith. Why?
I’m not a statist so I don’t have the excuse that the government doesn’t want me to, or hasn’t yet called me up. International borders are an invention of states and the world is small so I can’t say that it is none of my business because it s happening in a far off land.
If I’m honest, I’m a coward. I’m too chicken shit to go and fight ISIS. But I’m admitting it instead of inventing reasons why the non cowards are insane.
Just maybe I can say that it would be suicide because not enough others are doing it, which might be good have theory but not very satisfactory an excuse.
The removal of all standards is the the solution to double-standards for the intellectually lazy.
Poor sap must lead a wretched internal life imprisoned with his self-abnegating thoughts 24/7.
Wouldn’t like to be him.
“Isn’t he [Frank Gardner] a Muslim convert?”
This came up in the days when I posted on Biased BBC. When shot in Saudi Arabia some early accounts said he called out in Arabic, “Help me, I’m a Muslim”. His own web page, BBC bio and so on don’t mention his having any religion, and one would think a convert to Islam would want to publicise it. I recall saying at the time that if those accounts saying he claimed to be a Muslim were true I don’t blame him for pretending to be a Muslim in extremis as a strategy to stay alive, and I don’t blame the BBC for covering it up if, as seems likely, this is what correspondents are advised to do in such a situation.
R.I.P. Konstandinos Erik Scurfield.
… and equally R.I.P. the many Muslims who have died fighting Islamic State and Al Qaeda. Whatever your opinion on Islam as a religion, it is worth remembering the horrible risk these men and women run in fighting against a type of enemy that takes particular delight in targeting the families of those who oppose them.
Thanks for the link to his profile, Natalie. It is heartening to see that not all young people in the West are neutered moral relativists. RIP.
I am privileged to be the father of four of those western young people, and know some of their friends and co-workers.
I pity any group that threatens them and their families.
They will destroy that threat with no more hesitation than blowing up the trolls in some video game.
And, given the ongoing development of drones and other remote controlled combat machines, a video game might be very apt training for later 21st century warfare.
At any rate, as has so often happened in the past, our adversaries underestimate them, and all of us, at their peril.
Amen to that.
Can this be true, I wonder?
