London Mayor Creates Hate Speech Hub For Police Enforcement

Things seem to be spiraling out of control on the left:

The office of London’s first Muslim mayor has secured millions of pounds to fund a police “online hate crime hub” to work in “partnership with social media providers” to criminalise “trolls” who “target… individuals and communities.”

The London mayor’s office for policing and crime (Mopac) will spend £1,730,726 of taxpayer’s money policing speech online after applying for a huge grant from the Home Office Police Innovation Fund (PIF), it was announced in a statement.

“The purpose of this programme is to strengthen the police and community response to this growing crime type” is was announced, and will “involv[e] a dedicated police team” backed by “volunteers”…

The measures will be “delivered in partnership with social media providers” who along with “specialist officers” will be “filtering and identification of online hate crimes” and “identifying the location of the crime and allocating to the appropriate force…”

In May this year, the EU announced that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft had “committed” to working more closely with them and national governments and “their law enforcement agencies” to help “criminalise” perceived “illegal hate speech” online.

London’s Metropolitan police force said they welcomed the extra workload and wished to encourage offended people to report perceived hate crimes in ever increasing numbers.

This is horrifying, because it would indicate that the elites have a perception that even if society’s mores change, which they clearly will, they intend to continue to enforce the old mores with good old fashioned despotism, to the point that even voicing opposition will be enough for imprisonment. It just reinforces how out of touch the leadership is, since the German President said “The people are the problem, not the elites!”

Even worse, this is a path, not the destination. Today, insult a Muslim and go to jail. Tomorrow, criticize a politician, and go to jail. The inevitable conclusion will be the elimination of voting, or the use of fraud to correct what the problematic people vote for that the elites decide is ill-advised. This will get worse until the Apocalypse hits.

It isn’t surprising. Leftist r-strategists are a neurotic psychology. Given how society acquiesced and let them have an increasing say in government, it would seem illogical to now think that such an easily triggered, anxious mess, would relinquish such power now that society’s mores are changing back to K-selected. They can’t just let people do what they want, given how what people want will be K-selection.

Unfortunately, this is a case of the immovable object meeting the unstoppable force. Society is already incredibly K, and the real resource restriction has not even begun. At the same time, as the society unavoidably heads toward real K, leftists have no choice but to fight it with all of their might, even as it appears they will need to die on that hill.

There would appear to be no choice but conflict, ultimately. The only question will be how extensive and how violent. I would not expect the r-ified forces to do well, and the more they resist, the more violent and thorough their end will be.

What is to come will probably be studied in history classes for centuries. It is incredible we will live through it and see it with our own eyes.
