Senator Pauline Hanson has once again caused remarkable controversy by saying something entirely unremarkable.
âItâs okay to be white.â
Apparently this is highly controversial because an idiot said it once upon a time. Thatâs it. Itâs not factually incorrect. There is nothing inherently intolerant, violent, hateful or inaccurate about it. Of course, if the outrageous motion put by the Senator to our Commonwealth Parliament was repeated in Cape Town, you can be sure Cyril Ramaphosa would be frothing at the mouth nearly as much as Senator Penny Wong is now.
According to Penny, âeveryoneâ knows the phrase is used by white supremacists. I believe white supremacists also say âgood morningâ, âwould you like fries with thatâ, and âGod bless Americaâ. Does Senator Wong expect us to believe that people that say, âitâs okay to be whiteâ or âgood morningâ are secretly white supremacists too?
Get a grip on yourself, Lefties! Can you actually hear how utterly imbecilic you sound right now? Asked to confirm that racism targeted against whites is unacceptable, you cringe and cower at the thought of sounding even remotely racist.
The entire English language is being hijacked by cultural Marxists who refuse to allow anything to mean what itâs always meant anymore. âReproductive rightsâ & âhealth careâ now means killing your baby, instead of creating life and prenatal vitamins. âPhobiaâ means ideological disagreement, instead of a pathological mental disorder requiring therapy. âMarriageâ means sexual attraction requiring government validation, instead of the timeless institution essential for the foundation of a family and the future of a society.
âEqualityâ means forcible oppression of any individuality or advantage gained by hard work or personal responsibility until everyoneâs equally miserable, instead of the same opportunity. And instead of a natural pride in and priority of oneâs nation, ânationalismâ now apparently means a deep seated hatred and fear of others that will inevitably manifest in a violent and vengeful attack upon on a bewildered refugee.
This is cultural Marxism at its simplest and most vile. Attack and criticise everything traditional, normal, conventional, accepted and true. It is acerebral and counterintuitive, creating a minefield of offenses so the most innocent of travellers cannot help but detonate a leftist sensibility with the most innocuous of conversations.
The polite and naive among us are loathed to cause offense, so they sincerely attempt to navigate the ever changing labyrinth of racial, sexual & religious faux pas. In so doing we concede inch by inch the society they seek to radically revolutionise until we have been defeated by our own niceness.
When we refuse to scoff at the plain idiocy of such demonstrations of confected outrage we create space for idiots on the other end of the spectrum â white supremacists â to be the only voices saying common sense axioms like âItâs okay to be white.â The danger in this is when politicians like the cowed conservatives of the Liberal Party refuse to risk voting for common sense, more and more people from the sensible centre begin to see less of themselves in the centre and more of themselves in the fringe.
This is precisely why the Liberal Party is being dragged to the left, and the nation with it, and why minor parties are created like One Nation and Palmer United who donât really stand for anything except what everybodyâs thinking and the Liberals arenât saying.
Dear Reader,
Amid the many voices and agendas competing for your attention, an independent voice for Truth is more crucial than ever.
My mission is to help you to be better informed by discussing & debating issues from a Biblical worldview with facts, evidence and logic, so that together we can love our 24 million neighbours with better policy.
A viewer-funded channel can't be bullied by boycotts, but that also means I actually do depend on people like you partnering with me. For just $3 per month, will you help me continue this important work?
We all think itâs okay to be white – mostly. But apparently itâs too scary to risk having minority fundamentalists like Penny Wong, Sarah Hanson Young and Derryn Hinch call you mean names. We all wanted Matthias Cormann and Christian Porter to come out on the front foot with something along the lines of, âOf course itâs okay to be white! Itâs stating the obvious, and who cares if some white supremacists also say it? A stopped clock is right twice a day and itâd be juvenile to get offended when it agrees with a good one. The clowns you wanna watch out for are the people who donât believe racist attitudes can be held by anyone regardless of ethnicity. There was nothing wrong with the wording of the motion on this occasion. Next question?â
That kind of strength & conviction would win elections, and starve the extremists of monopolising common sense.
Of course, if the Senators were allowed to think instead of need directives from the head lemming before voting, weâd see a much better standard of debate instead of this insipid stand-for-nothing, weak-as-dish-water apologies for being right. Itâs a sham of a government if our Federal Senate could accidentally vote for something because they rely on emailed directives instead of representing their home state â a la federalism.
The forensic analysis of language association is paralysing politics. We should be talking about the issue: the rise of racism amongst minorities carefully nurtured by the grievance politics of the Left. Instead, the party of John Howardâs battlers and Robert Menziesâ forgotten people are exacerbating the victim Olympics by accepting the invalid premise that only white supremacists can say âItâs okay to be white.â
