How to recognise and deal with an activist

The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution

Great line, i wont go into the deep history of who said it and why, because that's not what this (hopefully) short blog is about.

But it does chime an important bell. The issue they raise is never the important thing. Be it men oppressing women, whites oppressing blacks etc. What the issue is really about, is bringing about a revolution, a movement that would tear down something (sometimes an entire society) to enable you to build a new one in its place.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Stalin tried that in Russia, Mao tried it in China. Hitler and Mussolini tried it in Germany and Italy. The French had 9 goes before getting something workable. And the good old Brits tried it once, then decided it really is a bad idea.

In order to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs (people will die) but, the omelette never actually gets made. What we find is, an ugly mess of scrambled eggs. Meet the new regime, very much like the old one.

Whichever way you build a society people will eventually end up feeling oppressed, and the same issues occur time and time again.

The modern activist can spawn from any sector of society, How do we spot them? Well, first of all they have an online toolkit, this is the activist bible. This is why all activists use similar techniques. They've either studied the activists bible, or learned from those who have. 

They will use words like

• Patriarchy
• Systemic racism
• White privilege/supremacy/ness/fragility
• Racism/Racist
• Islamophobia/ Transphobia/homophobia
• Far right

They will also call themselves

• Anti-Racist/fascist
• Feminists

Or something fluffy like "HopeNotHate"

They will spell the word "white" differently "Qwhite" or "yt"

This is of course a non-exhaustive list. But the key point to bear in mind here, and I cant stress this enough is

Their real action is your reaction. 

What the activist is looking for, is a negative reaction to what they're saying or what they've just called you. So just don't give it to them. Don't react in anger, especially online and even more importantly if you know you're being recorded.

For example. Someone says you have "white privilege" ask them where? Don't go on the defensive. If they say its because of "systemic racism" simply reply by pointing out that's just a far left trope. No matter what evidence an activist is shown, however compelling they will always refute its validity, so don't bother. Keep it simple, and never lose your temper.

Once they've identified you as a target, they're very difficult to shake off until they get the desired response.

An ongoing situation. Below is the perfect example of how an activist will trap their target

Activist Mary Mandefield provides us with a brilliant example. On the 18th April 2024 she posted a video

Now this is just a still from that clip. But in spite of what she's saying. What the man actually says is

"Listen, this is England! Not no fucking foreign cunt that you fucking lot"

His exact words (although the word sounds like "cunt" it actually is "country")

So what Mary claims has happened, appears nowhere in the clip. which is odd, because she claims she was threatened "after" she started filming. If that was the case, where was the actual threat? If his diatribe was aimed at her, he would be looking straight at her camera

Of course the clip very quickly went viral, with thousand of likes and retweets. But people have got a lot more savvy these days. And her story begins to unravel.

She's got the reaction (or at least a small part of it) But where is the action? what prompted this guy to shout aggressively at someone in that way? Since it was posted on the 18th of April, she hasn't posted any more video, which she claims to have (threatened after she started filming)

The British transport police took him off he train at the next stop. Since then we've had no update on the situation.

But then it got worse for Mary because someone dug up this tweet from her going back to the 27th August 2018

Notice the spelling on the word "yt" this is typical activist spelling. The tweet was complaining about an incident regarding white men at a festival wearing native American headdress. So there is clear evidence here of an activist looking for a reaction, and although she never got quite the reaction she wanted from the tube incident. It was just about good enough to post on the internet. Mary clearly has a problem with white people.

But activists will always get favorable coverage from the media. The incident didn't get any traction in any of the major media outlets. But it did warrant an article in the Metro.


Article Here


Note how the article is written, pretty much everything the article clams the video proves is entirely fabricated

He never hurled racist abuse. Neither did he call passengers foreign fucking cunts. He did say "This is England" though, so there is that.

This is not reporting news, its not even curating news, this is just shit the journalist made up based on anecdotal evidence and claiming it as fact.

He may have said it. But the lack of witness reports, lack of updates and the edited clip suggests this is a clear act of a race baiter. Couple that with her previous tweet. There's enough proof here, to dismiss her claims outright.

So, whatever you do, not matter the provocation, don't react the way they want you to. The man in the video could have lost his job, could have become a target for racists himself. Simply because he lost his temper.

Thameslink are also investigating apparently and so far, have also made no further comment.

Some activists are easy to spot like shouty Shola, Narinder Kaur et al, Yet lots fly under the radar like Mary, hidden in plain sight. And there are a lot of them.

Try not to engage in whataboutery with an activist either. I've seen this coming from the right almost as much as from the left. It doesn't help an argument. Stick to plain language, address the point, then move on. An activist will never, ever agree with you outside their echo chambers.

"Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty"

A quote often attributed to Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbals. Its not actually what he said, or at least I cant find proof anywhere. But he did say this in 1934.

"The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the war, was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing"

But its not a new trick, its origins date back much further. Its no surprise that this "projection" Is also part of the activists toolkit.

I stumbled across this Wordpress article which sums up the principle very well

Principles of Propaganda

If you actually read the 9 principles, every single principle will leap off the page and hit you squarely between the eyes.

This is exactly what a far left activist does. The fact that this set of pages about propaganda is projecting from a left wing standpoint, illustrates my point further.

Simply put, if an activist accuses you of something. Then its highly likely its actually something that they themselves are doing.

Now repeat after me

Their real action, is your reaction
