A few witch trial facts: 20 people were executed in Salem. An estimate of 200,000 were tortured, burnt, or hanged in Western Europe. The last witch trial in Ireland took place in Islandmagee in 1710-11. pic.twitter.com/NSQAF2lJ8r

Um.
Meanwhile…
Mathew Hopkins was 22 ish when he set himself up as Witchfinder General. To find ‘Devil’s marks’ – a painless mark left on a witch by the devil, he poked women with a spike. They would feel no pain because his blade would retract into a spring-loaded handle ‘proving’ their guilt. pic.twitter.com/qQD1MNevGU

hey nonny-nonny and all that.
Funny how the Witch finding circular argument used back then is back in vogue with the Victim Olympics Champions…
Witch hunters
If you’re sink then you’re innocent, if you float then you’re a Witch
Current year SJW’s
If you’re sink then you’re a (insert SJW hatred term here) and if you float then you are using unconscious bias and you’re a (insert SJW conscious bias hate term here)
Ahh you gotta love history… mind you, it’ll be a much “safer” read for minorities when the SJW’s destroy that too. idiots
brevity is the soul of wit, my deranged friend
Nor is a personal slur an argument.
well-said (yikes)
Then:
“Mathew Hopkins was 22 ish when he set himself up as Witchfinder General. ”
Today:
“Mathew Hopkins was 22 ish when he emerged as an innovative disruptor of the witchfinding market.” (Interview in the next Sunday Business Post).
Yeah well, the problem was that the withcfinder only got paid for finding a witch. So there was a positive incentive to actually find witches.
always dug this track

Shave the Monkey “Witchfinder General”
The point I was making was about circular arguments used to condemn . “You are because you are because you are because you are”. History teaches us that there is no point in arguing against this crap, the haters will eventually be exposed and…well… just as ye sow ye shall reap I guess. Personally I can’t wait for the SJW’s to get theirs. They are so ideologically possessed and so sure that they are right in what they’re doing that their fall will be mighty to say the least.
you’re some dose
I’m delighted they so upset pearl clutching buffoons such as yourself
long may it continue
I was going to say, yeah, I care what an SJW thinks… then I remembered that SJW’s don’t think, at all, under any circumstances. All they can do is supinely follow their profoundly obtuse ideology. :)
Show me on the dolly where the SJW hurt your feewings.
Lol is that really all you’ve got Daisy? Really? Pathetic.
now this was funny
In the Fintec space, it’s a gamechanger.

Total no brainer.
Pull on the green jersey.
We’re a team of us, all in this together my man.
*Witch finding as a Solution
Well listen just because you might not be conscious of having lain with the Devil and entered into an arcane compact with Him doesn’t mean you’re not directly benefitting from such
With regards to the pandemic, the way PCR testing technology is being misused is not unlike the medieval witchfinders – finding Covid where ever they go and perpetuating mass hysteria . And authorities still seem to be convinced of ‘Lockdown Magick’ despite the evidence showing it to be a misguided and ineffective policy
This is a nice piece of sketchwork by retired UK scientist, Howard Steen.

How to spot a radical feminist:
Pat her bottom, she screams Stop That! it means she’s an ordinary indignant woman. Apologise or she’ll call the cops.
Pat her bottom, she turns calmly on you and asks Would you do that to your Mother? it means she’s got a Psychology doctorate. Apologise and promise to see a female therapist.
