The National Conservatives had a rally in London this week. I wanted to write something, but the Guardian summary will suffice.

It's barely disguised now.

From the fine article:

Perhaps the speech most reported on was by the Tory backbencher Miriam Cates, who part-channelled Viktor Orbán and Giorgia Meloni in describing low birthrates as an existential crisis for the west. The populist leaders of Hungary and Italy are explicit in wanting more domestic-born children as against immigrants, a point Cates did not make, although it was arguably implicit. More striking still was her argument that the lack of babies was down to “cultural Marxism that is systematically destroying our children’s souls”.

This was also the conference where Jacob Rees-Mogg (a member of the current UK government) spoke and admitted that recent changes to electoral law in England and Wales were an attempt at gerrymandering, to disenfranchise people who might vote for parties other than his, but that it had backfired. The Conservatives appear to have disenfranchised many of their own voters.

It's in plain sight now. These are National Conservatives, the NatCs.

There is not much more to be said.

Update: Judging by the discourse below, there certainly is more to be said. Once again I will not say it myself. Instead I'll post a link to SNP MP Mhairi Black's f-word speech given to Parliament last year.

    We have a name for people who point guns at other people: criminal idiots. Children grow up learning the litany, "No gun is EVER unloaded, NEVER point a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot, NEVER touch the trigger until you intend to shoot".

    Identifiable insignia for Redneck Revolt seems to consist of a red bandanna and more general ANTIFA slogans and crap. It's always good to know who the enemy is.

    So... in a single post you're proposing general gun-safety and professing that political opponents of yours wear targets so you can easily shoot them. You accidentally made my next point for me. Heh I've got all this spare time, now.

      In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take a human life. He replied, "I wouldn't know, I've only ever killed Communists".

        Funaway modding up his own adhom shit posts may be the saddest part of Soylent News. Gotta love punchlines dehumanizing political opponents directly tied with murder, not even implied.

      OK, cool. Don't wear a uniform of any kind. Skulk around like a spy. There are worse fates than being shot reserved for spies.

        Heh. So why is it you want to shoot me? Do I owe you an apology or something?
