The discrimination trump card silences and shames dissenting voices in our culture. Once the label of “discrimination” is placed on you, you become toxic. Many in our society spread propaganda advocating a dishonest maxim, “We are against all forms of discrimination.” They imply that they do not discriminate against anyone, making them better people than those who are “discriminatory.” Is this honest?
Discrimination has come to mean in our society to unfairly treat a person or a group of people. Granted, there are forms of discrimination that are unjust and should be fought, but declaring any kind of discrimination as bad or evil is intellectually dishonest. It is dishonest because those who say they are anti-discrimination discriminate against their opponents. They do the very thing they claim they don’t do. They hate, condemn, and mock those with opposing worldviews. Is this truly anti-discrimination? Isn’t this label false propaganda?
The culture of tolerance and open-mindedness is really a culture of shame, shaming people into conformity. Reservations and dissent are not tolerated, which is not very tolerant or open-minded. This dishonest double-speak is the death of true liberty and progress. To reject all forms of distinctions, differentiations, and disagreements is to advocate anarchy or totalitarianism. A civil and free society cannot exist if we cannot disagree peaceably. Instead, we must be able to have intelligent and honest conversations and disagreements. We need conversations that move beyond labels, name calling, and propaganda. The freedom and health of society is at stake.
DON’T BUY THE PROPAGANDA,
A discerning mind
