Depressing on a Steynmaggedon scale but a must read.
"With few exceptions, one cannot open a newspaper or watch a television
newscast or talk show or go to a Hollywood movie or attend a university
humanities class without coming across instances of pure apocrypha....we are being indoctrinated to embrace manifest lies, evasions and
grotesqueries that render us prey to a destructive ideology of guilt,
fear, and self-contempt. We are denizens of a postmodern era in which
the distinction between good and evil, right and wrong, truth and
falsehood, noble and ignoble has been generally annulled—or selectively
manipulated, chiefly by the left, in the interests of an ideological
program."
"To put it bluntly, we in the West are now living in a cognitive
pseudo-world of contrafactual beliefs and specious assertions of
Orwellian dimensions, prompted by ignorance, the denaturing of language
and the marasmus of mind — a world in which everyone is regarded as
equal but some are less equal than others. Truth-tellers are less
equal than professional liars, white people are less equal than colored
people, men are less equal than women, Christians and Jews are less
equal than Muslims, capitalists are less equal than socialists,
nationals are less equal than immigrants, in particular Muslim
immigrants — the list goes on. What is happening is truly astonishing
and almost impossible to believe, for what we are experiencing is a
cultural pathology on a global scale, a spreading and apparently
unstoppable plague of sociopolitical ebola willingly contracted."
