If this is supposed to be an Animal Farm parable for our time, one cannot help but see it as an utter failure--and a truly frightening one at that.

Leading Jewish Canadian "Human Rights"/Censorship Proponent Tweets Orwellian Guardian Ad
There are ironies galore in this tweet. First, the tweeter is a Zionist, but his tweet hails an ad for the Guardian, a British paper that is redolent with the same sort of Zionhass that infects--infests--the allegedly morally superior British chattering classes/"progressive" intelligentsia; in fact, it's their rag of choice. Second, while the ad appears to tout Internet freedom as the only way to go in a free and open society, the tweeter has been extremely vocal in his opposition to such freedom. Third, what starts out as an anti-fascist, anti-police state, pro-property rights reworking of the Three Little Pigs tale (with police storming into a pig's abode without a warrant because of how he and his confreres handled their wolf crisis) quickly devolves into a PSA for a nightmarish Occupy-style civic unrest--as if that's a good thing. A further irony is that here in Canada property rights are noticeably absent from our holy bovine of a "rights" charter--the same charter that supposedly guarantees the right to free speech that Section 13 of our "human rights" code--a provision the tweeter continues to champion--takes away. (The private member's bill to eliminate Section 13 awaits its third and final reading in parliament.)
If this is supposed to be an Animal Farm parable for our time, one cannot help but see it as an utter failure--and a truly frightening one at that.
