The
tyranny of correctness. Currently, we see a reversal within the party
of inclusion to a party of intolerance in the name of tolerance. If you do not agree with me, so they say, you
must be racist, sexist, islamophobe, homophobe, or some other -ist or -phobic. So
fantastic are these to be unbelievable.
Usually,
you call others the names you would yourself abhor. So, name-calling has a
limited reach.
They have forgotten what made them great. They have embraced some easy targets while ignoring
all but a couple of large groups, assuming their old-time supporters would
continue to support. They have made the
fundamental mistake of assuming those in the tank should damn well stay there.
Like Pandora’s box, once released, these forces roam independently. How can
they put them back in their tank? Maybe they will offer more promises, which of
course translates into more spending. Maybe they will offer more detractors up
to the pillory.
Yet,
this same party seems condemned by their own political truths. They certify, ramify, and exemplify their commitment
to their new core principles. Namely, “We are right because we are on the right
side of history.” Such sophomoric
reasoning may cause future difficulties.
The self-confessed party of the intellectual, funded by the very
wealthy, scripted by the academics, and supported by the poor has lost touch with who they were.
Tangentially, I would like to comment on globalism, but it is difficult to understand. It seems to indicate that all countries are
equal and should be so treated regardless of other factors such as work,
innovation, entrepreneurialism, and even
political system. It seems to be
a belief that when all countries are kind of equal, all countries will behave as
if in a wondrous global family. Such
ideas are utopian, and utopias do require complete concordance to function. Concordance of the whole never works without
overwhelming authority. It is effectively a deconstructionism and disestablismentarianism of thought.
This brings us
back full circle to enforced and mandatory behaviorism by all citizens. Thus so, we have correctness of thought.
