Angry old white man, Alan Jones, peddling more loony right nonsense to his equally loony angry old white men followers.
Talking amongst my friends and family, I have often referred to the climate change deniers in my country, Australia, as ” a bunch of angry old white men with too much time on their hands”. These people are spurred on by the misinformation peddled out by other angry old white men like broadcaster, Alan Jones and the not so old but equally idiotic Andrew Bolt. I’ve always wanted to write my own post that characterises the thought patterns and inner workings of these people, but frankly, when I try to get inside the head of one of them, I come out feeling dirty and lacking a few IQ points. So, I remembered back to a blog post I read late last year by Jules Bollocks about James Delingpole, which does all that dirty work and exposes the way these people think…
James Delingpole is a twat
December 5, 2012
I take this opportunity to inform you that at the end of 2012 I am compelled to advise that my opinions are my own and do not reflect my employer: namely EU volunteers so I thought I would slip in an opinion as to my views on the ghastly totalitarian libertarian and blogger for The Spectator and the Telegraph who is ‘right’ about everything [see what he did there?]. He is, in my opinion a twat, a well paid twat, but a twat nonetheless. I hope I have made myself clear.
I don’t hold any personal vengeance against James Delingpole in fact I am a regular reader of his opinion rather, it what he and his loyal followers [Delingbots] represent: stupid white men.
Stupid white men [who can be of any colour or sex] are not loathsome in themselves, although one can find little or no merit in what they think, it is what they represent. They are often intelligent even educated but they are humanity without the really fabulous bits of curiosity, imagination, rationality and critical thinking- oh, and compassion and empathy too. They are the people who secretly know they are right, who vote Republican or UKip [insert your regional idiot right party here] and always lean right and see everything through polarised sunglasses. Don’t get me wrong: they are not secretive about their opinions- they know they are right internally. Their religion is right, their politics, their argument, one could go on- but what makes them angry [and white and stupid and men] is that most people don’t think they are…. continue reading here.
Twat did he say?
“We cannot do anything about an alien invasion therefore we cannot do anything about climate change”
Like Anthony Twatt he does not care that he appears to be a twat because his nonsense will be repeated by other twats. like geoff brown of the creationists sceptics party. TCS
Spot on re Delingpole. Last year I made the mistake of challenging him on Twitter re his appeal for funding for the IPA! I made the point that in Australia we were rather looking forward to a clean energy future. Oh boy! The minions starting flooding my Twitter account that evening with a pile of invective and abuse with Delingpole leading the fray. Quite amusing really but yes lots of ‘angry white men’ leading the pack. Graeme Readfearn included this in a blog on Delingpole: http://www.readfearn.com/2012/09/anti-green-activist-james-delingpole-runs-appeal-for-think-tank-ipa/
The flying monkey syndrome. Happens to me all the time at various denier dens.
All that Twittering frenzy when they really could have been getting a clue about something…or anything really. Still,they’re a tiny if noisy bunch of fools.
