Remember To Mock The Afflicted.


Once upon a time, in the good old Golden Age of Bobbies, Bobby Socks and Regency Telephone Kiosks, the Gold Standard of sympathy was held aside for those too unfortunate to merit comparison and competition in the big world.

Anybody who has ever seen a Down's Syndrome person doing a good job with painstaking care in an environment which can only be a challenge, will need no second reminder to treat people like these with a light touch, a pleasant air of collaboration in their dare against appalling odds to lead a normal life.


Don't mock the afflicted.

But wait! What's this? You can rely on the fact that self-serving campaigners (social reformers) will have seen our moral largesse, and whenever they see such a thing, their minds spin violently and they formulate dozens of new plans, all designed to deliver our consciences into their 'disinterested' hands for exploitation and enslavement.
So when they hear "Don't mock the afflicted", what do they do?
Obvious.
They produce ever greater legions of 'disabled' allies, creatures that can count on our sympathies even as they invade and destroy our minds.

Did you ever hear the one about Tourette's Syndrome? Sounds to me like a marvellous way to subvert freedom of speech while actually appearing to raise the speech of the 'victims' to sainted status.

How can we fight this?
Morally and practically.

Mock the afflicted.
