    Stephen Fry - All about I (What I wish I knew when I was 18)

     

    Found it interesting, like to hear thoughts.

    If Stephen Fry isn't already completely aware of the arguments for Anarchism I'd be more than shocked. The man is a crooked, hypocritical and arrogant, works for the worlds largest State Propoganda Television Network and has a television show dedicated to providing the "correct" version of truth to the masses. He is a perfect example of a Statist Priest, completely aware of the nature of the State and completely willing to support it... he is sadistic, angry and addicted to violence. Spend ten minutes on his Twitter without him inciting violence against you for your views on freedom and I'd be quite suprised.

    I kinda got that feeling too... The false self indeed can hide behind any worldview and philoso/psychobabble... still many of his words are nice to hear for what one usually sees in the media.

    Angry and directly insulting (@ Milo Yiannopoulos)

    Stephen Fry:

    somewhat opportunistic?”  - you cynical ignorant fucker. Why do any of us even bother?

    Passive Aggressive and directly in support of Violence

    Stephen Fry:

    Know this, Republicans.Even the most right wing British politician wouldn't think of dismantling our health service.

    Beyond my analysis...

    Stephen Fry:

    There’s been a history, let’s face it, in Poland of a right-wing Catholicism which has been deeply disturbing for those of us who know a little history and remember which side of the border Auschwitz was on

    Then there's the hypocritical media appearences like that in V for Vendetta, which directly opposes everything he stands for by working for the BBC.

    EDIT: Can't really find any good quotes from QI in the short time I've tried, it's a television show unfortunately, but I will add some if I notice any.

    Also, actions speak louder than words... a good 20+ years as a supporter of the Communistic Labour Party seems a good "quote". Plus...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWT5N0wXR0c

    ... Again acting as Spokesman for the State. Only not supporting the Labour Party in 2005 due to the Iraq war - not the rest of their inhumane activities.

    Re: Stephen Fry - All about I (What I wish I knew when I was 18)

    Stephen Fry blaming the victim for Politics, because given the addiction, he doesn't want to give it up..

    Almost the whole of my text at the moment, in my head as I fall asleep, is summed up by the word "contempt". Contempt, in politics, for the hypocrisy, the double standards, the double dealing, the corruption and the moral suasion. It's almost impossible for me to explain just how deeply I feel contempt. I want to go into detail - and I think you'll be rather shocked, and I hope rather edified, by what I have to say. So who are these terrible hypocrites? Who are these double dealers? Who are these liars and fraudulent corrupt people? Well, you're listening to one of them: that's me. And I'm talking to millions of them: that's you. It's not the politicians, God bless them. Sexless, uninteresting, graceless and very often styleless people as they may be, it is we who are the problem in politics. We expect a very high standard of living. We expect food to be cheap and available. We expect energy to be cheap and available. we also expect to be able to mouth off at parties about how terrible it is that the ozone layer is being eaten away and the glaciers are melting and how awful it is that people are starving in other countries. And we pay this group of styleless sexless people whom we call politicians a small amount of money in order to lay off our own guilt. Our own cant and hypocrisy is laid at their door. And apparently, it's they who are the hypocrites. It is they who are corrupt. It is they who refuse to solve the problems of the world. Well, it isn't. It's us. It's me, and it's you. Take this week, for example. Suppose you're prime minister, you've got all these illegal immigrants. What are you supposed to do? Are you supposed to hide the true facts? That's hardly something the public would accept, so you campaign and you say "we don't know how many there are - let's do something about it", and then you're accused of incompetence. Well, of course you don't know how many there are: they're illegal immigrants. Do we expect magic from our politicians? We're not going to get it. They're just human beings like you and me. And what about this "Let's Talk" business? Yes, it sounds like a very bad BT advert. On the other hand, what would we say if they didn't say that? We'd say that they're arrogant, and that they never listen. They can't win because they've got us to serve, and we are filth. The wheels have come off the New Labour project, everyone agrees, and so therefore it will come to pass. All aeroplanes have a certain amount of life in the sky, and then metal fatigue hits and they fall out of it. As someone who worked hard for a Labour victory in the 90s, do I regret it? Not really. It was bound to happen. And it'll happen with the next government, and the one after it. Because all governments serve us. They serve the filth.

    EDIT: I'm not sure this does prove my previously aggressive statements about Fry, I sort of agree with alot of it, maybe it's a sign there is an internal struggle with all this violence he should definetly know better than to support.

    Did you find the entire video interesting, a certain part interesting, or multiple parts interesting? If so, which?
