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]

Jeremy Corbyn meets some new friends JEREMY CORBYN MEETS KNEECAP Last week, @jeremycorbyn sat down with @KNEECAPCEOL for a quick chat about their music and the importance of artists to speaking up for Palestine. #MusicForACeasefire
Just lovable Grandpa Jeremy, the one who wanted to see a “kinder, gentler politics”, having a friendly chat with a band who talk about “the Resistance” in Palestine and named themselves after the trademark form of mutilation and torture carried out by the IRA.
At 3:22 Corbyn asks the lads to explain why they have joined his campaign called “Music for a ceasefire” (I’m sure that slogan will resonate with young people who go to music festivals), and the one on the right says, “It’s mad that we have to even take a stance on people being blown up”, and the guy in the knitted tricolour gimp mask nods along.

Added later: Regarding the choice of “Kneecap” as name of a hip-hop band from Belfast, commenter John said, “Presumably they will be touring universities with their South African support act The Necklaces and middle eastern special guests The Gay Free-Fallers.”

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.

Words fail.
All history started ten seconds ago. Imagine Berlin in the ’41 bombing: “Why are they hurting us?!”
What was it that happened to cause all this? I seem to have forgotten. I mean, wasn’t there a ceasefire in place before last October?
I wondered about Jeremy Corbyn when his views on HAMAS became well known. Could any politician be so unaware of public opinion? Well the answer seems to be confirmed that the ‘oppression of Palestinians’ trumps everything. Letting your biases ease your thinking just simplifies your life…
Presumably they will be touring universities with their South African support act The Necklaces and middle eastern special guests The Gay Free-Fallers.
The bbc will be filming a documentary.
On reflection although the support act and documentary bits were satire the Uni tour is odds on to take place.
I’m sure that Walpole, the Pitts, and Palmerston would have been there given the chance.
John, that’s good. Just one issue. There is a difference within Sharia as to the punishment for homosexuality. Some believe in throwing the perps to their deaths from tall buildings. Others go with stoning. That is why, “Queers for Palestine” is such a confused statement;-)
Piers Corbyn is an utterly dernaged cunt. Jeremy Corbyn is just an utter cunt.
As for kneecappings. The Provos only used .22 handguns in the early 1970’s. The Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast got so good at reconstructive surgery for knees and surrounding soft tissue that the IRA moved on to more permanent techniques by the mid 1970’s that could not be easily repaired. Remember those heavy duty Black and Decker electric drills?…
There was a very good BBC documentary about the Royal Victoria Hospital in 1976 where they showed the surgeons trying to fix the horrific damage done by a one of those “punishment beatings”. In one case the leg had to be amputated.

Of course Old Jeremy knows that these kneecappings qualifies as torture under international law and has been ruled a war crime.
It is easy to see Mr Jeremy Corbyn as a joke figure – but many millions of people voted for the Labour Party under his leadership in 2019, and they knew exactly what he is. They knew he supported great evil – and they voted for him, because they support it, that is who they are. Vicious leftists are NOT rare – they are Legion.
The education system and much of the culture has been taken over with the express purpose of creating beings such as this.
Further to IRA enthusiasms, I clearly recall hearing about (but can’t find a reference for) the ‘six-pack’ technique: a bullet through both wrists, both elbows and both knees (or ankles, perhaps?) Intended to permanently maim the victim, clearly. Fun bunch of guys eh? There’s a parallel to the (possibly apocryphal) ‘Sopranos’ method: a shot fired directly up the anus, the screaming subject then to be chucked in a dumpster, to live or die as the Fates see fit.
Earnest Canuck,
If you look on the Wikipedia article for kneecapping and search for “six pack”, you will find it.
