Punching Down: What a brutal attack reveals about the left!

A Labour MP is filmed punching a helpless man in the face. Ed explains why this is exactly the type of behaviour we should expect and why it's a symbol for our times...

By Ed Dutton

Sometimes symbols of the way the world is going seem to magically manifest as photographs. When the medieval Notre Dame Cathedral was ablaze a few years ago, could there have been a more deliciously pertinent symbol of the current state of Western civilization?

Well, now we have a photograph, indeed, a video, which neatly encapsulates the attitude of Britain’s governing Labour Party towards the white working class and, for that matter, towards the native population in general. And if you’re reading this from somewhere else in the Western world, then you can easily substitute the word “Labour Party” for your own gang of virtue-signalling, stuck-up mutants, and the same point applies.

Labour Member of Parliament Mike Amesbury has been filmed in Frodsham, a rural town in Cheshire in the northwest of England, continuously punching some poor chap in the face. The MP for Runcorn and Helsby has a degree in “Community Studies” from Bradford University, so, with such illustrious qualifications, you’d think he’d know better than to assault someone in the streets of a town where my collateral ancestor, the Rev’d Thomas (c.1550-1630), was vicar between 1588 and 1592, but, alas, not.

At 2 a.m. on October 26, this charming representative of the people was filmed punching a man to the ground, hitting him a number of times while he was down, and then standing over him, shouting, “You won’t ever threaten an MP again, will you?!” Amesbury has been suspended from the parliamentary Labour Party and from the Labour Party itself. An assault has been reported to Cheshire Constabulary, but no arrests have yet been made.

This video is so beautifully symbolic of Labour’s attitude toward ordinary British people and, of course, of their sense of entitlement and their utter hypocrisy. As I demonstrate in my book Woke Eugenics, it has been shown that leftism is associated with Narcissism and Machiavellianism. This is because people who experience strong negative emotions, such as resentment and paranoia—which leftists do, hence their desire to attack anything symbolic of traditional power—have a desire to control others and cope with these negative feelings by creating a Narcissistic false self in which they are perfect, though, deep down, they know they are not. They are entitled, grandiose, and if you provoke their deepest insecurities—such as by “threatening” them—you can expect them to respond with a defence mechanism to maintain their false self: they will explode into Narcissistic rage.

A mentally stable person, if threatened by a nobody, would leave the situation or call the police. But not Mr. Amesbury. Instead, the man who stood on a platform of compassion, helping the less fortunate, and being morally superior to those “corrupt, lockdown-ignoring Conservatives,” knocks the man to the ground. And even this is not enough. He continues punching him while he’s down—the man is no longer a threat, but Amesbury’s grandiose sense of his own power and importance must be asserted and respected—and then (and how insecure in your power must you be to do this?!) stresses that he is “an MP.” It’s as if he’s saying, “Threaten whoever you like, except someone as important and consequential as me!”

Amesbury’s response bears a striking resemblance to his party leader Sir Keir Starmer’s reaction to the rioters—enflamed by a Rwandan boy murdering three little girls and maiming others, also in Cheshire—back in August. It was as if Starmer’s attitude was: “How dare you react like this. How dare you symbolically challenge my authority! How dare you make it look like the white working class doesn’t support me, you far-right thugs! You will face the full force of the law! You will be tried, you will be found guilty, you will be publicly shamed, and you will be jailed, even if some Muslim rapists of underage white girls only get community service! And if, as a result, a ‘vulnerable’ grandfather commits suicide in prison (as happened last week), then I will pressure the media to cover this up, and, anyway, good! He shouldn’t have symbolically challenged my authority, thus reminding me of my own insecurities!”

The video of Amesbury, a fitting metaphor, does raise an important question. Let us recall that infamous quote from Nineteen Eighty-Four about the leftist’s desired future:

“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

Well, here we have a leftist punching a helpless enemy in the face. Will his kind be permitted to do this forever? Or will the English people, after having endured so much since 1997, finally fight back against the Mike Amesburys of the Dark Triad Left?
