It looks like the “Politically Correct” movement is alive and well everywhere. This week I heard that the German parliament will be voting (and passage looks like a forgone conclusion) to revoke Adolf Hitler’s German citizenship.
Of what possible advantage or purpose does it serve to do this to a man who has been dead for 62 years – regardless of his hideous crimes? And why is there so much energy for such a resolution at this late date? More on that later.
Then not long ago I also heard that the BBC has handed down an edict which says that none of their networks will allow to be shown any movies in which anyone smokes. This would include films like Citizen Kane and Casablanca the two greatest movies of all time. No word whatsoever on movies with gratuitous violence and explicit sexual behavior. Does this mean that the old “Snuff Films” wherein people are sexually and physically mutilated be ok for public consumption? Again I ask, of what possible advantage would this nonsense serve?
These examples betray the fingerprints of the far leftward numbskulls who cook up such drivel and waste the monies and energies of the government to do it. This is all because to those idiots symbolism is more important than substance. Why? Because they live in their heads a utopian dreamland where thoughts are all important and because on some New Age level of thought that if they just think it fervently and persistently enough then their good thoughts (ergo, "positive energies" as they like to call it) will become reality. This, I suppose, would be born from their Jungian silliness on concepts such as the “Collective Unconscious”, which, of course there remains absolutely no evidence for in the realm of reality. But again we are brought back to why a thought is more important than a physical deed. But perhaps most of all these things are pursued simply because they make the authors of said resolutions feel better - as if that really makes the victims plight any better which is not really their concern anyway.
Whenever I reach this point I can only harken back to some obvious examples such as all the people who suffered in concentration camps. Could they have avoided their torment by simply wishing it away? On the surface this drivel is just that, but beneath the surface there lies a maliciousness which suggests that if they wish for something strongly enough it will happen and if your life is still miserable then somehow it’s your own fault by virtue of the fact that you just aren't wishing for it hard enough.
I have no patience or tolerance for rubbish and especially malicious rubbish. In summary I can only state, “There is only one thing worse than no hope and that’s false hope” and by offering such claptrap as the above mentioned examples as a solution or even as being helpful on any level goes beyond stupidity, a waste of time, and a waste of resources, because it is also malignant.
