Political Correctness is Unilateral Cultural Disarmament

Breadth of the Beast is one of my favourite essayists on the web today.

His current essay Live incorrect or die correct

    [..] Having our way so habitually has even made us a little shame-faced about it. We try very hard not to rub it in- not to appear to be “running up the score” on the opposition. In fact, we invented multiculturalism so that we could pretend that there really is no competition- that we are all just the same as everyone else and that there is no reason why any other culture should feel anymore threatened by us than we do of them.

    The problem is that our perspective has become warped. We are not afraid of them because we have been on such a long winning streak. They hate us for our success and power- and they despise our smarmy, condescending, back-handedly racist multiculturalism.

    At the same time, non western challengers are rising up in the Islamic world and Asia who do not share our values and our scruples. We don’t believe it, but they have no interest in becoming like us. We are so busy trying to console them for being so backward that we cannot comprehend that they don’t see it that way.[..]

    Political Correctness is Unilateral Cultural Disarmament. As bad as it is here in the U.S. it is even worse in Israel.[..]

Enjoy.

  1. Sid Ryan head of CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) is saying that either Israeli acdemics support Hamas and support terrorism as he is doing or they will be banned from academic life in Canada. See this communique from CUPE:

    Attention News/Assignment Editors:

    TORONTO, Jan. 2 /CNW Telbec/ – CUPE Ontario’s university workers
    committee will bring a resolution to its annual conference supporting a ban on
    Israeli academics doing speaking, teaching or research work at Ontario
    universities as a protest against the December 29 bombing of the Islamic
    University in Gaza.

    “In response to an appeal from the Palestinian Federation of Unions of
    University Professors and Employees, we are ready to say Israeli academics
    should not be on our campuses unless they explicitly condemn the university
    bombing and the assault on Gaza in general,” said Sid Ryan, president of CUPE
    Ontario. “It’s a logical next step, building on policy adopted by our
    provincial convention in 2006.”

    Resolution 50, adopted in May 2006, supported boycotts, divestment and
    sanctions aimed at bringing about the Israeli withdrawal from occupied
    territories and a just peace in the region.

    “Clearly, international pressure on Israel must increase to stop the
    massacre that is going on daily,” said Janice Folk-Dawson, chair of the CUPE
    Ontario University Workers Coordinating Committee, whose conference is
    scheduled for February. “We are proud to add CUPE voices to others from around
    the world saying enough is enough.”

    Ryan and other CUPE representatives will join in the demonstration
    against the Israeli assault on Gaza at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, January 3
    at Dundas Square in Toronto.

  2. Canada’s norms which respect free speech

    That is one of Canada’s biggest lies. The propaganda is that we have free speech. That baloney is propagated by the MSM who stifle free speech. Look at that history of any social unrest or abuse in Institutions in Canada and you will find a blank wall. In the media Judges routinely order news blackouts. And now we have the KKK of free speech which is the HRC.
    The free speech in Canada has only be free and is only free for the oligarchy and totally controlled through their ownership of the MSM.

    The power elite of (85 percent British Descendants) Canada has locked economic and political with th e Anti-Semitic power elite of Britain. The CBC radio and TV executive is appointed through political patronage. The system is a lock. Canadian are one of the most self-deluded populations on the planet.

    So of course these anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli actions happens. The system is locked and totalitarian repressive from the top to the bottom.
