Salam Alaikum, Think Before You Post or We’ll Come for You

(Aug. 25, 2024) — “Salam Alaikum,” greeted Craig Guildford, Chief Constable of West Midlands Police in the UK, in his address offering a message of reassurance to local communities after the anti-immigration riots that tore through the country earlier this month.

“Think before you post,” the UK government warned a few hours later. That same day, Greater London’s Police Chief Mark Rowley reassured us that anyone, anywhere, caught wrongthinking (after they post) would face the consequences: “We are coming for you.”

On their own, the messages are chillingly clear. Put them together and it’s even clearer that the trial runs for anarcho-tyranny are in full flow; this is the playbook of the new thought police:

• You will speak as they tell you (compelled speech);
• You will think what they want you to think (prior censorship);
• They will lock you up if you disagree (repression of dissidents).

More than just totalitarianism, together they represent anarcho-tyranny on the rise, one prying open the Overton window while the other is shutting down the undertone blinds. A social ladder turning into a cage, one that threatens to upgrade the two-tier policing state already in place, into an intersectional caste system.

Don’t slip up by mistakenly deadnaming the United Caliphate as the Kingdom, while dog-whistling past the graveyard of Western Civilisation. They’re watching, ready to remind you of the consequences if you do.

From Two-Tiered Policing to a Full-Fledged Caste System

So, let’s watch them closely. Not long ago, progressives were all about defunding the police and prison abolition. Now, they’re their biggest cheerleaders. One might be fooled into thinking that this shift is just a quick PR victory following massive investments in DEI, or the successful reassurance that the white working class now forms their core demographic.

But it’s a sign of the institutions falling apart. The ‘Big Laws’ — don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t cheat — are forgotten, but God help you if you break a small one: ask where someone is ‘really’ from or leave skid marks on a rainbow road mural. Then the rules are diligently and ferociously applied.

That’s anarcho-tyranny for you — thugs break the real laws with a grin, while the law-abiding citizens get strangled by etiquette. The silver lining is that it is pretty straightforward to know when the thugs act like anarchists and when they’ll clamp down like tyrants.

But, what kind of order emerges when the state can’t—or won’t—stop real crime, but is quick to punish, control, and ruin the lives of otherwise innocent people, who committed otherwise minor infractions? That’s the question, isn’t it?

The signs are everywhere, clear as the veins in society’s bloodshot eyes. Lawfare chokes free speech, with NGOs pulling the strings, turning the very institutions of liberal democracies against themselves. It’s a well-orchestrated meltdown.

In the U.S., the George Floyd riots played out like sanctioned thuggery while the Covid lockdowns tightened the screws on the regular folk. Meanwhile, statues of criminal Floyd popped up like mushrooms after rain, replacing those of men like General Robert Lee, a war hero in his own right, long before the Civil War.

Talking about the Confederacy, one clearly can’t fly its flag—not without trouble. Yet, just a few miles from the Capitol, protesters torched the American flag, hoisting up the Palestinian one in its place, without any consequences. All the while, they chanted genocidal slogans (‘from the river to the sea’) – a stark symbol of foreign-inspired, state-sanctioned anarcho-tyranny.

They’re pulling Bibles out of schools and slotting satanic statues into courthouses. Passing laws making it okay to kill the unborn, right up to their first breath, sometimes even beyond—and if you dare speak up, you might just find yourself behind bars for a long time. Tim Walz, though, he’ll tell you straight: don’t bet on your right to speak freely on just about anything.

The Land of the Free now is a world where the criminals get the halos and the saints get the gallows. And while they tell you it’s progress, it smells a lot like something else— something that reeks as if it came straight from a cow’s behind.

Elsewhere, things are also veering off course: in Germany, a cop was murdered by an Islamist extremist while he was restraining a right-wing activist—a sad, yet picture-perfect moment of the Western madness machine in motion.

Over in the UK, the police restrained an anti-immigration protester, only to stand by as a mob of illegal immigrants nearly tore him apart. They might have felt that intervening could be perceived as culturally insensitive, I surmise.

And it’s not just the mobs; it’s the silence they’re imposing. In the UK, praying silently outside the King’s abortion clinics could be outlawed. Even the Anglican Church has been caught wondering if they should drop the word ‘church’ from their name.

Just yesterday, France arrested Pavel Durov, CEO of the messaging app Telegram, because he wouldn’t play ball and help authorities in controlling speech. Meanwhile, extreme-left politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a known Putin apologist, became a kingmaker after recent elections, effectively making a puppet out of Macron.

It’s chilling to see how this brand of chaos and control, wrapped in the flag of diversity and inclusion, endorses behaviours that are even more radical than the norms found in these immigrants’ cultures. If you don’t believe me, take a walk down the streets of Islamic capitals like Istanbul or Marrakech. You’ll notice fewer women wearing burqas than in Paris, Berlin, or London—these beacons of tolerance and inclusivity.
