Speaking the Unspeakable?

I've been trying to avoid talking about politics here, for fear of becoming monotonous.  Consequently, I've found myself with little to write about as politics seem to be the only thing going on right now.  Politics and hypocrisy over so-called free speech.  Just today, we had that Labour councillor, who made public comments to the effect that fascist thugs should have their throats cut acquitted of inciting violence.  Quite right, too.  Aha! yell the likes of Nigel Farage, but what about that Tory councillor's wife who got a jail sentence for tweeting that people burn down hotels housing asylum seekers?  'Two tier justice!' they bellow.  Yeah, well, the obvious difference between the two cases is that, subsequent to that widely read tweet, people - the fascists, in fact that the Labour councillor was referring to - actually did go out and try to firebomb hotels housing asylum seekers.  By contrast, I don't recall having heard about any fascists having their throats cut by people who heard what the councillor said.  Frankly, I think that he should have been given a medal.  But, of course, if I say that, I'll find myself being shouted down by outraged extreme right-wingers for inciting violence against them, even though I'm merely exercising that right to free speech they seem so keen on.  Fair's fair, guys, if you can legally shout your 'Sieg Heils' and throw Hitler salutes in public without fear of prosecution, then I'm just as entitled to express my view that you should all be exterminated with extreme prejudice.  

Likewise, if I expressed on social media my belief that the Putin-Trump summit in Alaska presents an unpanelled opportunity to remove the two greatest threats to world peace in one fell swoop with a well-aimed nuclear strike, then all those little Putin apologists and Trump groupies would be up in arms, trying to get me 'cancelled'.  (Not that there would be any reaction to anything I posted on social media from anyone - there never is, as I'm neither important enough in the real world, nor am I one of the 'in' people who seem to be the only ones allowed to have their postings read and commented upon.  Not that I'm bitter, or anything, obviously).  Figures on the right are forever going on about the need to 'think the unthinkable' and 'say the unsayable' in order to ensure that their views (which they claim also to be those of the 'silent majority', who are afraid to speak out against the 'woke consensus') get a fair hearing, no matter how much the 'liberal elite' try to suppress them.  Well, fine, but why do they have such a problem when we on the left do the same thing?  Because I think it high time that we said what we mean: that fascists should be given a bloody good kicking whenever they rear their ugly racist heads and that petty dictators and bullies like Trump and Putin should be shot.  But instead of 'thinking the unthinkable', the left instead just wrings its hands and offer mild rebukes as the likes of Trump dismantle US democracy.  Partly because they adhere to outmoded notions about behaving within legal and constitutional frameworks, partly because they are afraid of the right-wing press, that gives demagogues a free ride, condemning them and labelling them as 'violent revolutionaries' or thugs.  The trouble is that the right, especially once ensconced in power, don't play by fair - they don't give a toss about legal and constitutional frameworks and it is about time the left woke up and realised that.  So yeah, let's kill Trump, let's kill Putin and let's string the fascists up from lampposts.  Just saying.

(As ever, for the benefit of Google drones, MI5 agents, the FBI or whoever else might be triggered by some of these words and concepts, this is merely a satirical piece written for humourous effect and is not intended to incite anyone to violence.  I mean, there's enough people already who want to kill the likes of Trump and Putin with requiring any encouragement from me).
