I thoroughly dislike the newly popular and overused term “cuck” to describe… well, anybody the speaker does not like, but where the once great United Kingdom is concerned, there can be no other term. Britain is a cuckolded former empire, its population being supplanted by foreign invaders who don’t share its peculiar politically correct sensibilities, its subjects increasingly harassed, arrested, and convicted for utterances deemed “hateful” by the UK’s Orwellian government. There is no freedom of speech there, and increasingly, law-abiding citizens of the United Kingdom are being arrested, harassed, and even convicted of crimes for things they’ve dared to say… all while a marked rise in acid attacks and child sex-trafficking rings, both phenomenon associated with “migrant” populations in the UK, go unaddressed, under-reported, and largely ignored.
Against this backdrop of pride in government surveillance and invasive search-and-seizure, the United Kingdom has doubled down on its policing of thoughtcrime. The same is true in the sovereign nations of Australia and Scotland which, while not part of the UK, are so closely related that they may be considered part of the same problem for our purposes. For example, to coincide with the conviction of popular Internet troll “Count Dankula” (for teaching his girlfriend’s pug to raise its paw in response to various neo-Nazi utterances), the authorities in Scotland released a campaign designed to renew attacks on what its subjects say, rather than what violent criminals actually do.
The guidelines for what is now considered “hate” are now so vague that it is effectively a crime in Scotland, Australia, and the United Kingdom to offend anyone, in any circumstances, for any reasons. It is no small crime, either; we’re talking about police kicking down your door and taking you into custody. Is it any surprise, then, that self-defense is also effectively criminalized throughout the UK?
Given that firearms have already been largely outlawed in the United Kingdom, it makes perfect sense that they would have to turn their attention to knives. Knives are incredibly effective and powerful tools — not to mention necessary ones in mundane life — but also very easy to improvise and/or manufacture. This has led to the United Kingdom stomping its jackbooted feet very loudly when it comes to “knifecrime,” a hashtag now synonymous with owning or carrying any cutting edge or sharp point for any reason whatsoever. So vilified is #knifecrime in the UK that even the empty package for a utility razor causes the cucks of the UK to wring their hands and furrow their brows with anxious dread:
Whenever the topic comes up on social media, denizens of the UK invariably stick their fingers in their ears and scream loudly that this isn’t happening, that it’s all misinformation, that “Fox News! Fox News! Neener, neener, neener, I’m not listening to you!” But it is a fact that these tools have been criminalized and are actively being vilified. In the process, self-defense has been made very nearly impossible, and certainly the carrying of any force-multiplying tools is illegal in the UK. Worse, the authorities in the United Kingdom are proud of their totalitarian overreach. They regularly post to social media ominous warnings about the fact that they are watching you.
Oh, and yes, you read that right: Subjects of the United Kingdom are subject to random stops and searches for whatever reason pleases the authorities. That includes “routine searches” parked vehicles. Even if you have no criminal record, even if you are committing no crime, even if the blade you possess is carried for work and/or utility and not for reasons involving self-defense, you will become a criminal for daring to own such a mundane object.
With progressives and left-wing citizens of the United States becoming increasingly vocal about repealing the Second Amendment, and with Democrat infringements of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution already commonplace in our overwrought, over-complicated legal system, it’s worth looking to the examples of cucked nations like the UK. This is what our future holds. When firearms are outlawed, knives can — and, indeed, must — be next. When they get done banning knives, they’ll start to target martial arts and self-defense instruction (something that has been seen already in Australia).
In the early 2000s, Glenn Zwiers’ Close Combat Centre in Nunawading was investigated by the authorities, and ultimately shut down, for ‘teaching teens to fight with knives.’ It was openly condemned by the Martial Arts Industry Association — and if you think giving regulatory groups like that power to decide which martial arts are “good” and which are “bad” isn’t the goal of those calling for oversight on martial arts teaching, you’re wrong.
I have carried a knife, or knives, every day of my adult life. My father always carried a Swiss Army Knife, a habit I adopted. I also carry, and have trained with, various knives used for self-defense. I have done this, not out of paranoia, not out of aggression, and not out of any desire to hurt another human being, but simply because I believe in taking responsibility for my safety and well-being. I am also responsible for seeing to the safety and security of all those for whom I care. A free adult, a grown man, can do no less. Yet this self-reliance and responsibility is forbidden in the United Kingdom. It is actively reviled, criminalized, and — now more than ever — prosecuted as a crime.
The UK has so thoroughly brainwashed their citizenry that individual subjects of the UK actively believe it’s wrong to defend themselves. They believe it’s criminal to carry the tools of self-defense. They believe it’s “hate” to express any recognition of, or opposition to, the very real violent crime sweeping their lands — and that it would be wrong, oh so very wrong, to take any action in opposition to those threats. If this isn’t the cuckolding of a nation, I don’t know what it is… and if we do not actively oppose these attitudes, the same will happen to us in the United States.
Working as a security guard, I can safely say that anyone determined enough can use anything as a weapon. The drug stores I used to work at gave out syringes with prescriptions, and I’m more afraid of a dirty syringe than a utility knife.
Banning weapons does nothing; and only forces the criminal element to either A) illegally import and distribute the weapon or B) find something else. If prisoners can find the means to manufacture working semi-automatic firearms and munitions out of plumbing parts, are you going to ban indoor plumbing?
