"Sir" Edmund Hillary

Fellow travellers, with so many people worldwide finally coming round to our Gaia-friendly, culturally sensitive worldview, it's depressing when you see a return to the outmoded paradigms of the past. 

 

The latest example is the global outpouring of grief and admiration for the late "Sir" Edmund Hillary.  I mean, the way people are carrying on, you'd think he was some kind of hero! 

 

Even some on the green left have expressed admiration for him!  But it must be remembered that "Sir" Edmund Hillary was not a friend of Nature; he was a peenie waving rapist of Her. 

 

He deliberately set out to conquer Everest, remember. 

 

Why the belligerence, Edmund?  What had Everest ever done to you?

 

Well, he can't answer that.  And just as well.  So I'll answer for him:

 

You see, Hillary hated mountains for the same reason all men hate all women: merely because they are there.

 

And not only did he hate mountains and women; he hated our six-legged fellow travellers as well!  You see, this appalling testoseroid was a bee-keeper before becoming a mountaineer.  So, he funded his Himalayan expedition exploitation by incarcerating non-human persons and harvesting their abdomens.

 

The fact that so many people are lauding this monster is appalling enough.  But most disturbing is this reaction from the Sherpas he so cruelly oppressed. Sadly, yet another case of the colonised participating in their own oppression. 

 

Appalling.  Just appalling.
