Activist versus Activist

I was outraged to see Main Stream Media reports of people throwing rocks at homosexuals during a Gay Pride march in one of the towns outside of Toronto.

Who were these fascist blood suckers? Evil white heteronormatives, with an agenda of hate, rape, and anti-vegetarianism? The Klu Klux Klan bent on clear cutting a forest while eating rainforest beef and smoking non-Cuban cigars? I shuddered with contempt and quaked with rage. Toronto, the city of light, gets a lot of money from Gay Pride tourism, and a lynching of poly-gendered village people would be bad for hotels, restaurants, travel agents, and sex trades workers.

It was with a rising feeling of joy, similar to being at a leather sadist bar here in Boytown and watching the master of ceremonies begin to take the clothes pegs off the nipples of some volunteer, when the MSM finally reported that the rock throwers were immigrants celebrating World Cup soccer. I felt happiness.

Thank any god but God, I shouted out. The MSM soon suppressed this news factoid, and rightly so. Anything that brings political correctness into doubt should be hidden and given a bodyguard of lies. But, for activists such as myself, and you who happens to read this, it raises a challenging question: Which group in a given situation has the greater claim to victimization? The Greater Victim gets our sympathy, grief counseling, the book deal with Oprah, front of the line access to health care, and a handout ; the Lesser Victim gets jail.

Our police have a difficult job. I know that the police are, generally, scum, but that was when they were heteronormative white males, tainted with abilitism. Now, over time, our police forces are improved by hiring practices based on shape, color, and artistic temperament. Just look at the fine job the OPP are doing in Caledonia. There, the oppressed Native First Village Peoples Anti-Canadians, were able to express themselves without fear of police interference. They could go about their business, in this case, sabotage, insurrection, theft, treason, assault and attempted murder, but that is ok because they are an oppressed people and this is how we get revenge on evil white heteronormatives. But what if the object of the crime is not an evil white heteronormative? Hmmmmm? Who then is the Greater Victim who gets away with it all?

In a multicultural society, everybody is equal. But what should our activist police do when oppressed village people species A attacks oppressed village people species B? Up in Winnipeg, a native first nations village people person was sentenced by one of our outstanding activist judges to one day in jail for murder … of an immigrant. So, there is some sort of hierarchy of victimization here which needs to be explored. If the illegal immigrants sting up some queers, should there be arrests, or even media attention? Should we be celebrating the illegal immigrants cultural values and rejoicing in their access to rope and gibbet? Or should we be responding with more social spending to discourage illegal immigrants from lynching, hanging, and garroting queers? Do we hold a party? Or do we send in storm troopers? What if native first nations village peoples string up some queers? What if a queer with irritable bowel syndrome steals the wheelchair of a legless Metis transvestite glue sniffer? Gadzooks!

This is the defining question for philosopher-activists of situational ethics of the twenty-first century. Who gets arrested? Who gets the handout? The guy with the rock? The guy in the dress? Hmmmmm.

I suggest that a research group be formed to study the definition of the problem and report back to the steering sub-committee with a request for funds to initiate planning of an action plan.

Send me your money.
