Is “progressivism” a pathology? After all, “progressives” are nothing if not convinced of their own moral unimpeachability. Yet, as the authors of Pathological Altruism argued, people who are utterly convinced that they are “doing good” can in fact be doing a great deal of harm.
Orwell was onto these self-righteous creeps nearly a century ago. In The Road to Wigan Pier, he derided “All that dreary tribe of ‘high-minded’ women and sandal-wearers and bearded fruit-juice drinkers who come nocking towards the smell of ‘progress’ like bluebottles to a dead cat.”
You can see Orwell’s “dreary tribe” in full, smug, flight at everything from climate protests to drag queen story time. And especially at anything involving fakefugees or Muslims, or preferably both. These self-righteous loons are so drunk on their own altruism that they’ll defend anything.
Even Muslim gang-rapists.
Yaqub Ahmed and three other thugs attacked a teen girl lost in central London in 2007.

The victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, previously detailed how she was lured to a flat in Crouch End, North London, by a youth who claimed her friend was waiting for her after she lost her on a night out.
She said she was held down while the men took turns to rape her during the horrific attack.

The rapey creep was jailed for just nine years. He was supposed to be deported in 2018, but pathological “progressives” decided otherwise.
Ahmed, 34, was saved at the last minute in 2018 when do-gooder plane passengers staged a mutiny.
He was hauled off the flight from Heathrow to Turkey as holiday-makers unaware of his vile crime chanted “take him off the plane”.
The Sun
Ahmed’s victim, who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of the rape, previously told the Mail on Sunday that seeing the video in which protesters stopped the criminal from being deported made her “angry and upset”.
Hitting out at the “bleeding heart” passengers who intervened, she said: “He was in handcuffs, he was being taken out of the country… who are you people to interfere with justice?
“Fair enough you didn’t know the situation, but now I hope you feel proud of yourselves because you stopped something that I have waited for for so long: something that made me feel that little bit safer.”
No doubt they were utterly, utterly chuffed with their little selves. No doubt they flooded their social media accounts with ego-stroking accounts of their moral high-mindedness. No doubt their silly little friends clucked and cooed their admiration.
They probably didn’t even care that, thanks to their pathological progressiveness, a gang-rapist was free to stalk the streets of Britain for nearly two decades more. In fact, I rather suspect that they were quite proud about it. Migrant rights!
If there’s one thing the British public has learned from Rotherham, Telford and every other horror story, it’s that Muslim migrants must be free to rape British girls whenever they feel like it. Anything less is “racist” and “Islamophobic”.
When news of Ahmed’s failed deportation emerged in 2019, the victim’s mother said she hoped that kicking the rapist out of the UK would allow her daughter to feel safer and give her “some form of justice”.
She said: “It’s been never-ending. That’s my child’s life – her childhood – that has been taken away.
She also called for ‘each and everyone’ of the passengers who intervened to apologise.

As if. They’re probably still bragging about how they stood up against “racism”.
As Nigel Farage famously said: The sheer hypocrisy of those of you who said you were going to defend female rights when actually you think migrant rights are more important than female rights in our community. Frankly, shame on you.
