The Guardian: A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags (archive.vn)

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."

Hah! I just quoted the same fable with the former female mayor calling it a “betrayal”

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council. They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.

Muzzies invade and displace another Slavic town, liberals cry in rejoice.

This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. Muslim residents packing city hall erupted in cheers after the council’s unanimous vote, and on Hamtramck’s social media pages, the taunting has been relentless: “Fagless City”, read one post, emphasized with emojis of a bicep flexing.

You get what you vote for

While Hamtramck is still viewed as a bastion of multiculturalism, the difficulties of local governance and living among neighbors with different cultural values quickly set in following the 2015 election. Some leaders and residents are now bitter political enemies engaged in a series of often vicious battles over the city’s direction, and the Pride flag controversy represents a crescendo in tension.

“Multicultural”….

“There’s a sense of betrayal,” said the former Hamtramck mayor Karen Majewski, who is Polish American. “We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.”

Something something the toad and the scorpion….

After several years of diversity on the council, some see irony in an all-male, Muslim elected government that does not reflect the city’s makeup. The resolution, which also prohibits the display of flags with ethnic, racist and political views, comes at a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under assault worldwide, and other US cities have passed similar bans, with the vast majority driven by often white politically conservative Americans.

This fag is probably talking about how you’re not allowed to read pornography in grade school classes in Florida anymore, which of course to these people represents a “threat” to their “rights.”

I cannot think of a more contemptible creature which slithers on God's green earth than the average liberal cuck/cuckquean. At least worms and maggots can actually serve a purpose in nature; Muslims have a few consistent beliefs and are willing to kill and die for them; and even George Soros and the other architects of the current miserable state of the world have a brain, utterly warped and directed toward malevolent purposes though it may be, between their ears.

This Majewski and so, so many other braindead progs exhibits a perfect storm of indescribable arrogance, entitlement, ignorance (willful or otherwise), short-sightedness, sadism toward their enemies and utter spinelessness in the face of actual resistance from those who might object to their agendas. Especially if it's a minority who they assume they have in their pocket by default, double especially when it's the people they brought in the first place to stick it to the Straight White Christian Patriarchy™ and to serve as a permanently reliable voting bloc which will totally never go against them ever.

They manage to be both so vile and so mindbogglingly retarded that I couldn't write this shit in any one of my stories without getting accused of making up an unrealistic strawman villain that totally would never exist IRL!

Perfect description.

The smugness is the worst part. I don't have any 'At least they're well-meaning's left in me because they've had ample opportunity to have a single rational thought about their beliefs and policies, but they always, always choose to double down on self-congratulatory idiocy instead.

You chose to welcome in a people bound by a more militaristic religion, expected them to kneel at your feet graciously for letting them in and let you abuse and manipulate their children without resistance..

At least the trojens didn't expect the horse, you were so high on your own egos to open the gates and turn off all defences, may the Islamic win and show you the free skydiving lessons you deserve, parachutes not included.

The way I see it, there are two possibilities.

  1. The elites control everything via 4d chess and they're constantly lying in order to bring about their New World Order.

  2. The "elites" today are merely the remnants of once great families, brought low by complacency and inbreeding, and they actually have no clue what they're doing.

This article suggests the latter.

  1. They're liars who control everything
  2. They're incompetent morons

It's both.

They don't need 4D chess, they control the propaganda apparatus, oversee a docile population, are protected from the consequences of their mistakes, are unfettered by decency, and have decades of experience knowing which lies work to stymie their constituents and disarm their enemies - it's the one area in which they are competent.

But ultimately it won't save them, because while their influence is great, it has limits where their hubris and incompetence do not.

Lefties hate the idea that local governments might have a say in how their locality is governed as long as they don’t do something made illegal by a higher government.

Edit: And let’s be real, as to the particular facts of THIS local government. We (that is, everyone but the left) have been asking when the inevitable clash between Muslim values and gay values would arise. We’ve pointed out for years the disconnect between assuming Muslims were all woke Americanized inclusion-hounds and what most of the Muslim world thinks about gay shit. We TOLD them this would come up, and that it would have to be litigated eventually. The left could have got in front of this issue somehow, maybe, but it chose not to. It chose to act like every Muslim is a third-generation light-brown college girl from New York who wears a tiny headscarf to go with her rainbow fist t-shirt.

The Islamists waited patiently, while the Leftists walked them through the front door.

In the short term, the Islamists will gleefully do what the Ayatolah did to the Leftists when they took over. In the long term, should the Left return to proper Fabianism, the Islamists could be subverted, but as you note: in 3-5 generations.

just goes to show that liberals have no idea about the people they champion. Muslims are even more conservative than Christians, many Hispanics have deep ties to Catholicism, Ukraine holds actual Nazis in high regard.

It really feels like skin color is the only thing they see.

They're doing it wrong. First, you destroy their families, convert them into below poverty single mother households depending on government handouts, then you own them, indoctrinate them to always vote for your party and tranny their children.

A major component of the left is its reactionary ability to assume the polar opposite of whatever stance the right has.

Another explanation is petro-dollar campaign donations.

Another is the holier-than-thou finger wagging that is typical of left-liberal viewpoints.

a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property

It should be replicated everywhere. Flag of political ideology should be banned.

The only flags that should be flown by the government are flags representing that structure of government and it's hierarchy. Which means: US flag, state flag, and city flag.

US government bodies shouldn't be flying Pride flags, Anarcho-Communist flags, Antifa flags, Gadsden flags, Antifa flags, Democrat Party flags, Republican party flags, Catholicism flags, Islamism flags, MAGA flags, Betsy Ross flags, etc.
