Political cultism

Posted on by

 

First we saw it with the fanatical support in some quarters for Nigel Farage. Then we saw it with Jeremy Corbyn. Then Bernie Sanders. And now, in the present time, we see it with Trump. Hordes upon hordes upon hordes of people saying that they will, and I quote, “fight for him until the day I die” (check the timestamp 18:02 on the link).

Why do people hero worship politicians – and yes, that is what Trump is now – to this extent? With a few exceptions, they are, for the most part, lying sleazebags who would throw their hero worshippers under the bus if there were anything to be gained from it. The vast majority of them deserve nothing but scorn and ridicule as opposed to devoted praise and worship.

  1. Cult followers are people who feel the need to become part of an exclusive group because they lack self respect, they experience difficulty making decisions and are unable to function in conventional society. They may have an anxiety disorder and an irrational fear of persecution. Their emotional vulnerability and feelings of alienation cause them to seek guidance and protection within a group to which they can identify, and which can give them the comfort and reassurance they crave.

    The leader of the cult will typically be a power-obsessed grandiose malignant narcissist with an inflated sense of his own importance and who believes himself to be special or uniquely gifted. He is basically a conman given to making preposterous assertions ranging from distortions of the truth to outright lies. His need for dominance places him beyond criticism within the group and he is oblivious to the pain he inflicts and the damage he causes. To his followers he will appear confident and charismatic and will expect his word to be hailed as gospel. Eager for his praise, followers will obey his commands to the point of committing illegal acts, as they have renounced their personal identity in order to be handed a sense of purpose and to be accepted as one of the chosen few. The leader secretly despises his followers and sees them as mindless idiots to be taken advantage of.

    To the outsider, cult followers come across as pathetic deluded morons suffering from low self esteem and being incapable of existing as individuals outside the group. They are inadequate, inferior and submissive, the kind of people who tv ads are aimed at, who think that professional wrestling is real, who’ll believe anything they’re told. Anyone who needs other people to do their thinking for them are weak-minded, misguided and easily manipulated.

      • I’m skeptical of the word “rare” in this article. I don’t know that many people, but in the House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) in which I last resided, 2 of my co-occupants had serious health issues in the last 2 years (I’ve lived in numerous HMO’s for 20 years, & not 1 of my prior co-occupants had such issues).

        In the most recent HMO, one of the guys had a dodgy heart which had to be stopped and restarted in order for his blood to be able to flow at the correct rate and pressure (then after a month, he developed a blood clot on the lung).

        The other guy had a blood clot, an horrific skin disorder and was constantly coming down with “Covid” even though in the 2 years I lived there, I never contracted Covid myself, even though I had constant and regular contact with him.

        The common denominator (in case it wasn’t obvious) is that they both had the poke… yet I didn’t… (I wonder if there’s a connection).

        I know that correlation doesn’t prove causation, but at some point, multiple points of intersecting correlation create a pattern which some might interpret as causation.

        I’m going to be posting a nomination soon for “turbo cancers” which have affected me and my family personally since the Covid vaccine debacle, so I’ll leave the rest of my ire for that nomination.

    • @Allan

      Did you invent this definition yourself or have you ripped off somebody else’s rather witty definition of a religion?

      … come on now… be honest.

      • Definition of a cult; a religion of which you do not approve. Not my definition, read it somewhere years ago. Always remembered it because it’s obviously the stone cold truth.

    • Fuck me, reading your post I thought you were talking about IsaC 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

  2. Politics is a shit heap and politicians are the flies upon it.

    However Trump makes the woke go mental so Win Donald Win,just for the sheer fuckery of it.

    Anyone who believes a single word a politician says needs putting in an asylum,the braying cunts at party conferences who seem fully invested in the total shit being spouted..they are beyond hope,gas them.

    A nice shake up is needed,a military coup perhaps…all the Westminster rabble rounded up and shot.

    Make Britain Great Again!

  4. Wrestling was great in the early 90s. Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks teaming up to fight Hulk Hogan, Noel Edmonds and Mike Tyson at the White Rock theatre in Hastings.
    I remember it well.

    • Used to love it, me.

      Kendo Nagasaki, Scrubber Daley, Catweazle, Jackie Pallo, Big Daddy, That mad Irish cunt with the Red Indian wife.

      World of Sport on saturdays. Great stuff.

      • My nan used to take us as kids to Bristol Colston Hall in the late 70’s to see wrestling. She was a quietly spoken woman who enjoyed Songs of Praise and knitted her own cardigans but when she got in the theatre with a load of her mates and had several port and lemons, she was effing and jeffing all over the place. I saw one old lady stubbing her fag out on a wrestler’s backside when he got chucked out of the ring.

      • I’d love to see Lady Nugee and Diane Abbott having a real grudge wrestle – cross buttocks, forearm smashes, flying tackles, little Sugartits Cooper as referee, getting slung out of the ring. Both “ladies” stripped to the waist and wearing spangly Speedos. Boggs Film Productions (Taiwan) would be happy to issue a DVD

  5. I hate the way some (most) American TV shows and presenters are so terribly one eyed and biased towards the Demoncrats. Cunts like Saturday Shite Live and Stephen Colbert. It’s all Trump, Trump. Trump. But no cracks about Senile Joe and I don’t think there was a single joke abour Obama during his time in presidency

    In comedy and satire everybody is supposed to be fair game. But, with these fuckers on US TV, the likes of Uncle Joe and Barack are untouchable.

    • If memory serves, one of the late night TV show hosts had Obama on and practically sucked his dick… and yet Jimmy Fallon interviewed Trump and dared to ruffle his hair and by extension “humanize” him.

      God forbid that a TV show host would “humanize” a famous guest who happens to be a human being.

  6. Just imagine the shame of being a Starmer-rite – ten to one you will be a poofter, a tranny or a pussy-whipped feminist who secretly wanks over a photograph of Jess Phillips in her sensible shoes and liberty bodice – (at least that is what “Mr. Phillips” does…). Only old farts worship Kweer

  7. In Britain I think Magic Grandpa was the most insidious with his Momentum brownshirts and almost complete ideological capture of an entire generation of young cunts.

    It was the cult of personality, not something Keir Starmer needs to worry himself with.

    • Well thankfully, we only have to worry about tits like Corbyn once ever 5 years and even then, only in relation to the young idiots to whom he promises the moon-on-a-stick.

      Lefty political cunts can promise as much as they want (knowing full well they’ll lose anyway) but by the time the next election rolls round, it’s an entirely new set of young, dumb, full-of-cum, fuckwits to whom they can sell snake oil.

  8. This is such an obvious cunting that it’s barely worth the cunting.

    Nobody who is really capable of running an entire aspect of a society/nation or managing budgets of billions is going to want to be a councillor working for FA or an MP for £85k plus whatever thievery they can get up to. Nobody capable of doing those jobs would have the slightest inclination to study for a degree in politics or have the time to go knocking on every cunts door, kissing babies and spouting bollocks.
    That’s why the country is fucked, the last bunch of grifting, thick twats who should be in charge of anything are in charge of everything. They are all contemptible thick tossers and utter charlatans. If you are obsessed with voting for, supporting and aligning yourself with any such cuntitude then you are plainly a right fucking idiot.

    • Couldn’t agree more Cuntalugs. Our younger has a friend who is in the advanced stages of duchenne muscular dystrophy, now at the point where he cannot feed himself. I think I would rather be in his position than be a true sky fairy believer.

  10. Politics is a dirty business played by people who can’t do real jobs
    I’ve no allegiance to any of them,
    Especially some fuckin yank.

    Cults are for thumbsuckers.
    People who doubt themselves.

    As bignosed wirehaired nasal whining Bob Dylan sang

    ” Don’t follow leaders
    Watch the parking meters!”

    Stop telling me what to do!!!!

    • Who did you pay off to win COTY Miserable?

      Was there a deepthroat in the offices of the Stockport Express deleting incriminating files?

      • I paid off whomever it took LL.

        First rule of politics that is.

        Bribe generously.
        That doesn’t work?
        Threaten to leak the photos of chief admin dressed as a adult baby.

      • Voter fraud, paid a P*ki family to give him all their 200 votes

        Disgraceful behaviour from someone with an artisan country cream gate.

      • And a drinker of Lipton Peach flavoured iced tea too.

        Its a fucking disgrace.

      • I’m totally unapologetic.

        I pretend I’m a old lady from the deep south while drinking it.

        And sit under a sun parasol.

      • I like iced tea, too, Mis.

        That Long Island one is banging.

        Great sleep aid, two of them, and I’m out like a light!

  11. Congratulations OC and Allan on a brilliant nom and a brilliant post respectively. The reason I read ISAC every day without fail. I wish I could approach such standards.

  12. Give me that old time religion….

    I vote Labour cos me dad did and his dad before him.

    I vote conservative because I live in a nice detached house in surbiton and we are a middle class family.

    The cultism has always been there, in times of stress people look for a saviour to lead them into the promised land.

    Trump, Corbyn and any other populist leader are tapping into the failures of the mainstream self serving vile cunts.

    The media is then set upon the populist leader like he is the problem and not the child of their own indifference to their own people.

  13. The majority of the politicians in the UK are fucking boring, the most ‘interesting’ leader on a scale where the the top spot could be a cure for insomnia is that bald twat Westminster SNP cunt, only because of the way he says Mr Speaker.

    A cult for any UK political leader would be the yawn of the century, I see that the Scottish SNP version of Drakeford (most boring cunt in the world) is considering running to replace the Scotch P*ki.

    I had a knock from a conservative chugger at the weekend, he asked me if I would be voting Conservative…. 😂😂😂😂😂

    He asked why I said no and the reasons to which I replied, ‘you don’t know why’

    • The thing that annoys me the most about politics is that in an election, a vote is either to vote or not to vote. I think the choice when faced with a political chugger should be:

      a) Yes
      b) No
      or
      c) kick in the bollocks/fanny

  14. I’m skeptical of Farage these days. I wonder if the 3rd tier conspiracy theorists might be true in thinking that he IS, in fact, a Manchurian candidate who was put in place to make “we-the-plebs” think there was actually hope.

  15. Americans do politics different to us.
    They get overexcited.

    Watch a political rally.
    I’m thinking Trump here but they all do it,

    Baseball caps with shit on
    T-shirts with shit on
    Big foam hands
    Scarves
    Fuckin teddy bears wearing baseball caps etc

    Fuck that.
    I’d be too embarrassed.
    I’m far to cool.😎

    I was in that crowd it’d trigger my tourettes.
    I’d shout

    ‘Look out!! he’s got a gun!! ”

    Let off a firework.
    For my own amusement.

    • Be honest about it Mis, most Yanks are just adult babies.

      Incapable of independent thought, or any kind of originality at all, they follow the Judas goat, wherever it may lead.

      Unfortunately, the UK is following this trend, with younger people (in a recent nom) wailing that “no-one tells you how to cope”

      I truly despair. These are the people who I may be relying on for my health are in a few years time.

      Lord, help us all.

      • Hello JP👍

        ‘noboby tells you how to cope.,.”

        Cope with what?!!
        Young people have never had it so good!

        Not been shipped off to war
        Not undernourished due to poverty
        Warm at night
        Plenty of time to indulge in recreation.

        The spoilt bastards.

        How to cope!!
        I’ll tell you,

        1) stand up straight!
        2) stop fuckin crying like a little puff
        3) stiffen that upper lip
        4) get out of that bedroom
        5) wash in cold water
        6) get up early
        7) do some star jumps

        There.
        A recipe for coping and good mental health.

      • I’m good thanks JP👍

        Works picked up again and had some heavy jobs on.
        One up 6 flights of stairs,
        My legs were fucked day after.

        I notice that there’s a definite divide on here with Alan’s posts on Trump? 😂

      • I don’t actually care at all, as long as Cotton Eyed Joe dies before the elections.

        He’s senile, and repulsive, and should be euthanised, with a human being taking his place, as opposed to this lizard.

  16. Controversial perhaps, but it’s a bit like the Trump version of Jonestown on here some days.

    Is the kool-aid fizzy orange flavour?

  17. OT. I see Saint/Sir/Lord ‘Mo’ Salah showed his true colours during that Liverpool vs West Ham game. I’m no fan of Klopp either, but I wouldn’t have blamed him if he’d chinned the obnoxious raghead cunt.

  18. Putin’s a cunt sorry cult (or maybe that should be cult sorry cunt?)

    That Kim Jong Undead, he’s a fucking fathead
    thinks he’s hard, the fucking barrel of lard
    likes to strut with the world’s worst haircut
    as popular in South Korea as an attack of gonorrhoea

  19. I`d like to think of myself as not stupid.

    Indeed, I`d venture that I`m actually cleverer than Einstein …

    E = mc^³

    Yes, CUBED: that, Albo !

  20. I’ve only voted for the same party twice since first eligible to vote in 2001. This year I probably won’t bother.

    • Now, I’d vote anyway, even if it’s for the notafeckingchance party.

      The working man, or woman, fought hard for the right to vote.

      Our local elections are this week, and although I’ve voted Labour almost always, I’ll be voting SDP.

      Why? He’s the only one that’s saying what I want to hear.

      • SDP would be my preference, JP.
        But they’re not standing in our constituency.
        So it’s yet another spoiled ballot paper for me…

  21. Democracy as it stands in Britain is fucked.

    Nobody ever voted for sky high immigration,gas bills,taxation,wokery and astronomically high levels of outright lies..

    But that’s exactly what we got and if you carry on participating then you can expect more of the same,forever.

    The whole cosy sham of our politics needs tipping on its rancid arse.

  22. Everything said in the OP is all a fair point, but if they didn’t do it….who would? I don’t understand why the fuck anyone would get into politics

  23. Trump lies, Biden lies, Barry O’Bummer lies. All the cunts lie. I’m not sure what singles Trump out for the disproportionate hatred from the meeja, public and even some on this esteemed forum.

    My guess it is a case of jump on board the anti-trump showboat. I honestly think some people are addicted to the feel-good fuel from having a ‘baddie’ they can hit with a stick, which makes them feel morally superior.

    • I wouldn’t worry about it.

      Im sure inbetween shagging porn stars and having millions of dollars Donald doesn’t.

      I’m hoping for a Trump 2nd term.

      He’s a bullshitting, immoral, dodgy cunt,
      But I like him more than any of the other yank cunts.
      He makes me laugh.

      I’m aware of his faults,
      You’d have to be a fuckin dummy not to be.

      But I think he’d be a much better friend to this country than that old corpse Joe.

      I’m also glad there’s 2 difference of opinions on here.
      I hate a echo chamber.
      All reading from the same hymn sheet is boring as fuck,
      I like free speech,

      I’d encourage anyone to say Trumps a cunt if that’s what they think.
      Or if someone thinks he’s a knight of hope for the western world?
      Say so.

      This is ISAC , say what you want.

      That’s getting rare nowadays.

      • Amen to that Mis.

        Trump is a cunt. But he is a cunt’s cunt. Vive la difference!

      • ‘This is ISAC , say what you want’

        Until someone presses the ‘Mr Grimsdale’ button… One of the best laughs I’ve seen on here, apart from The Worcestershire Warrior, and Vernon Fox’s meltdowns, was Dick Fiddler pressing the ‘Worshipping at the Altar of Donnie’ Cuntster for a credible link to back up one of his more outlandish claims!

        Absolutely priceless. The halcyon days.
