Don’t cuck on circumcision Zack
Realign the Left with the enlightenment
“Facts ignore ideology”
Richard Dawkins, February 16, 2020
I had a sudden realisation on Thursday, reading that the Green Party is considering banning parents from circumcising their children unless it is medically necessary. I am part of the voiceless electorate and have been since 2019. Brexit is the only thing that has ever moved me to turn up in person to a ballot box, and though I nurture dislikes against different politicians and belief systems, I have not been given a positive reason by a mainstream British political party to take part in the democratic exercise in this decade.
But if David Paulden promises to ban the barbaric evil of non-consensual genital mutilation I will not just vote for Zack Polanski, I will canvass for Zack Polanski and I will join his party. Such would my zealotry be that I would be at risk of being groomed into a Green Party adjacent paramilitary wing.
The Green Party will not only win my support, they will also have a bulletproof defence against the gibbering charge that the party is ‘sectarian’. Of course the blue jumpered filth will attempt to claim that banning circumcision is intended to signal persecution of British Jews on behalf of the Hate Marchers, but this falls apart when we observe that there are many more Muslims in the electorate, many of whom have gone over to the Greens over Palestine.
Banning circumcision is the opposite of sectarianism. It would instead show that the Green Party does not base its politics on the interests of minority groups but begins from points of principle, and in this case, aligns itself with the enlightenment values of rationality and reason against violent rituals – whether it be rooted in bogus, bigoted pseudoscience advanced by John Kellogg at the turn of the century, or ancient promises made in religious texts. It will therefore be an act of political sacrifice on behalf of defenceless children, grounded in ethics, whilst the ‘mainstream parties’ ceaselessly kowtow to the demands of religious minority groups.
