Abu Ghraibi Fever!

Dig this deliciously and wickedly seditious article from the Russian webzine eXile:

....
Good for you, Lynndie England, you chinless, inbred, runty, androgynous backwoods mutt! When you mimed a crotch-shot at that hooded detainee, you reminded us all of what Imperial service should be like: one long S&M tour of the tropics, where every man, woman and child of the conquered peoples exists solely as an object for your pleasure.

The Greeks and Romans were honest about conquest. They divided the task into two parts: first you vanquish the enemy on the battlefield, and then you rape every single man, woman and child among the conquered. They were just as systematic about this phase of the operation as the campaign that preceded it. The troops may have been weary, but somehow they found the devotion to duty to impress their tribal superiority on their defeated enemies in the most direct, practical sense: by fucking them in the ass.

Among the nations conquered and buggered by Roman civilization was Britain. They, too, knew in their colons exactly what it was to be colonized. As the inhabitants were being rogered, they learned a valuable lesson, which they passed on to their distant descendents, the founders of the British Empire: being the soldier of a victorious empire means having a free pass to a giant rape-camp thousands of miles across, crammed with submissive, trembling victims of every age and shape. And every damn one of them is yours, to do with as you please.

When the British conquered the world in their turn, they took full advantage of their raping rights. After all, that was the point of the English elite curriculum, which consisted of nothing but translation of Greek and Roman accounts of conquest and pillage. Best of all, these accounts were in secret code--languages taught only at the elite schools which bred new generations of imperial rapists. And there's the rub: by hiding their sodomitic delights behind a pose of grim duty, the Brits introduced hypocrisy to the business of conquest.

2. you, dumpster_baby, keep feminism out of this. even the author

of this piece was CONTRASTING those CRIMES against feminism.

"No one even seems to give her credit for her greatest innovation: making the delights of Classical S&M accessible to women as well as men. Even the Romans would be amazed to see a mere slip of a girl like Lynndie holding the leash as a man of the conquered people writhes at her feet. Yet has one so-called 'feminist' raised her voice in gratitude?"

no. we mourn that under the guise of 'feminism' womyn are being degraded just as too many men are and have been for ages.

who the f--- are you that you would write what you did: "Yeehaw! Feminism rules! America is #1!"

ignorant. and dangerous to propagate such trash.

4. hey, the author brought it up

And this is what he wrote in the article:

"No one even seems to give her credit for her greatest innovation: making the delights of Classical S&M accessible to women as well as men. Even the Romans would be amazed to see a mere slip of a girl like Lynndie holding the leash as a man of the conquered people writhes at her feet. Yet has one so-called "feminist" raised her voice in gratitude?

In time, Lynndie will be given her rightful place in history. But in the meantime she faces persecution by those who want to ensure that conquest is wholly without pleasure, even for the conquerors."

As for what the author meant to imply with respect to feminism, I will let each reader decide for himself....or herself.

6. Bzzzzt!!!

Wrong. The author did NOT contrast. This is what the author wrote:
"Yet has one so-called "feminist" raised her voice in gratitude?"

Now, if the author had wanted to CONTRAST Lynndie's actions with "feminism", he might have written something like this:
"Lynndie sure is NO FEMINIST", or perhaps: "These acts of Lynndie's show her to be NO FEMINIST." Something like that.

But instead when the writer wrote:"Yet has one so-called "feminist" raised her voice in gratitude?", he is implying that Lynndie is a TRUE feminist (as opposed to "so-called feminists") who is advancing the state of feminism, she is bringing to "womyn" things that had previously been only for men--i.e., the sadistic pleasures of being the conquerors. Now, what is good for the gander is also good for the goose. However, according to the authro, the so-called feminists are not recognizing Lynndie's achievements in feminism--they have not even called to thank her. That is what the author is saying. The author is NOT contrasting Lynndie with feminists, other than to say that she is an ADVANCED feminist, perhaps. He is implying that Lynndie is the leading feminist of our times. Perhaps she should be given the award "Feminist of the Year".
