Well one of the things disturbs me about political
correctness among many things that disturbs
me about political correctness is its grounding
in post modern thought and the post modernists
don't believe in rationality or debate.
They think that's actually part of what they're
fighting against.
That's part of logocentrism.
The idea that you can bridge the gap between
two people with conversation.
They just believe that's a strategy on a ploy
on the part of the people who have power.
To maintain their power and to justify it
by engaging in the pretence of negotiation.
And its part in parcel of their philosophy.
Yes increasingly we're teaching our students
that because the post modernists have invaded.
They certainly invaded the education system.
And not just the universities also increasingly
through the faculties of education.
In our culture we always have discussions
about rights.
'My rights are being trampled on.
My rights are being trampled on.'
Well of course they're being trampled on.
Everyone's rights get trampled on and some
more than others obviously.
But there isn't a dialogue about responsibility.
That's what the dialogue should be about.
It's like yeah you're oppressed but you're
not as oppressed as a bunch of other people.
So are you the oppressor or are you the oppressed?
Which one?
You see these Ivy League students who are
agitating on behalf of the oppressed.
It's like they are irritated because being
in the top one in one thousand people in the
world isn't enough.
There is somebody who is better off, who is
one in ten thousand or one in one hundred thousand
They point to them and say 'well you're the
oppressor because you're one percent of the
one percent and I'm just the one percent'
but you know they forget about the starving
masses in the rest of the world in relationship
to whom?
Well they're obviously oppressors.
You're oppressed?
Okay, fine.
You're the oppressor too.
You're the victim?
Okay, fine.
You're the goddamn perpetrator too.
So maybe you should take some responsibility
for that.
And 'no it's not that we're not going to do
that.
Someone else is going to be the perpetrator.'
That's convenient.
If it's always someone else then all the good
is on your side and all the evil is on their side
And once you put all the evil on someone's
side then the next thing to do is to take
whatever action against them you see fit and
why not because that's where all the evil resides
That just makes you good.
What are you going to do?
Put up with it?
So, we're busily teaching our young people
that as fast as we possibly can.
And I think it's motivated in part by this
post modern cancer whose goal is to gnaw on
the roots, gnaw on the roots, gnaw on the
roots, until the whole corrupt oppressive
patriarchal system, so that's the tyrannical
king, the mythological projection of the tyrannical
king who eats his own children.
That's the mythological idea behind the patriarchy.
We'll gnaw on that until it falls over.
Well and then what?
Well then, I don't know what.
What?
The equity utopia will magically arrive.
God.
