Everything's a matter of interpretation (except when it offends me)

These days in the West, everything is a matter of interpretation. Words have no meaning, and a construct. In our modern individualist society, where the individual is paramount, words have a meaning that depends on what the individual says. It is now up to the individual to define words on one's terms. This many sound very egalitarian and communalistic by not imposing on people any code of conduct regarding the use of words. However, this has lead to the battle of opposing groups to decide what is offensive and what is not.

This era of postmodernism has lead to the cloud of repression which seeks to control the thoughts and expression of people. People can longer express their opinion about certain things because their opinion is deemed "offensive" in itself. The cloud of repression empowers the political correctness police made up of certain identifiable categories of ideologues to impose their views of others such that anything who do not conform is ostracised. Political correctness has now dominated our thinking. The PC police is getting stronger and recruiting more unsuspecting people into a trap - a freedom trap which twists the definition of freedom and liberty.

Tony Abbott has been a casualty of the PC war. He was lambasted by the media for saying a female colleague has sex appeal, but a woman would not have been lambasted if she said the same of a man. These days, a feminist woman can say anything, but her enemies (conservative women and men) can't because their views are "irrelevant" and "outdated". This is because the feminists are now deemed to be ones that can dictate who says what, among other progressive radical groups. The hypocrisy of the PC police wreaks of the most repugnant stench.

The adoption of PC starts at university where students must follow the politically correct norm with the pretext that it is the way in live in society. Students and lecturers who criticise certain groups from a "conservative" perspective are silenced because no university wants to look naive and conservative. It is in the best interests of every university to look enlightened. Progressiveness is the new Enlightenment.

Indeed, the silencing of the truth cannot be changed by a single individual, but it can change when the ignorant masses realise what type of society we live in - one that oppresses what is true and fights for all perversion.

Social Progressivism is about Only helping Minorities

It seems that helping only minorities (what is a minority in the first place?) is the only acceptable form of humanitarianism. Any suggestion that helping the dominant is not only laughable but wrong, and supportive of the redundant, archaic conservative "capitalist", "imperialist" agenda. The progressive radicals think attempt to make people feel sympathetic towards these privileged minorities and nothing but anger and hatred towards the oppressed dominant.

'Oppressed dominance' is not an oxymoron. It is the oppression of the dominant groups that they cannot complain or even speak of their ill-treatment. These is the oppression. The privilege of the minorities is that they can use their identity to cry victim. Anyone who even suggests that they are not so innocent, or not innocent at all, for that matter is ostracised the progressives.

It seems that the progressives scream blue murder as soon as people attempt to critique them. It is only ironic that they don't realise that they can be the most extremist, bigoted and hypocritical bunch of all.

The sad thing is that this idea that the minorities cannot never be privileged and that he dominant can never be oppressed is what drives university education.

University is the breeding ground for the Ghosts of Minoritarianism. These ghosts ran rampant where the university graduates go to work in - everywhere.

What they taught at School

At school,
They taught you that the Australian society is
One that is fair, equal and communalistic,
They hammered into our head that
We need to respect other cultures, beliefs and religions
And to not challenge them, but let them change our identity
They would tell us, as though some gospel truth that the "fair go" should be our ideal
Now that you have grown up,
You realise we are not as fair to all other people
As we should be
You realise we let the underdogs take advantage of the more powerful
And yet say that it's fair enough
You realise that many cannot bear
The sight of another becoming more successful
But yet felt the deepest sympathy when they were weak
Anyone who even dares to comment on
Women (of the majority ethnic groups), homosexuals or
Ethnic minorities of poor countries or
Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims or Jews
Is  "sexist", "homophobic", or "racist" or "intolerant"
But anyone who casually makes fun of
Men, and ethnic minorities of rich non-European countries
Especially rich Asian countries
Is praised as a hero to be placed on a pedestal
Where is the "fair go"?

The Hidden Agenda of the Typical Lecturer

Most lecturers at university have a personal, moral, or worse still, a political agenda to influence students in negative ways. Many lecturers in the postmodern age  have liberal values which are based on postmodern philosophies. Postmodernism is responsible for many of the twisted and illogical  ideologies of the modern world such as feminism, liberalism, identity politics and progressivism.

The reason why so many lecturers have liberal values is that universities like to have a progressive rather than conservative image, an image associated with being educated and sophisticated, rather than naive and backwards.

This is why university students need to be able to challenge not only the views of lecturers, but be able to attack the logic of these views. Once the logic is attacked, one can get a foothold and expose their twisted ideologies.

Beware of cunning deceitful lecturers

Academia has contributed much to the philosophical pandemonium faced by our modern world, in particular, the youth of today around the world. These philosophies have been incalcated in the minds of many, influencing the way we think, act, live and ultimately, how we will lead the next generation.

What one thinks is very important. It determines one's outlook in life and how one will behave. How one behaves has a huge impact on others, and ultimately, the world. For every act you make, you are influencing others to do the same. Indeed, every individual has the potential to influence. Therefore, it is crucial that the modern youth develops a "capacity for doubt" and a "hankering for the truth".

I will explore how many seemingly academic, logical philosophies are really not as logical as they really are in the next few posts.

Media = Hypocrisy

These past 5 or so posts sum up the media's unethical bias towards certain groups who position they can exploit and its hypocrisy. This bias has influenced the Australian society to perceive different groups the way the media has represented them as the media is the source of news. No news as reported by the media is completely objective.

Each is told from a certain perspective. However, some perspectives are more legitimate than others as they are more truthful and less self-centred in the sense of being demanding of one's own rights.

"I support the underdog (because they can't beat me)"

Egalitarianism seeks to ensure that there are no superiors, the "tall poppies". However, there are people who do deserve more rewards than others by their merit. The underdog is someone is who is assumed to not be given equality opportunities, or a "fair go". However, it is not always true that a weaker group or person (oops, not being PC) deserves more help, or is even not given a fair go. Many in our egalitarian society support the underdogs, but when they become stronger, these supporters can't bear to see the success. Those who had been underdogs become an eyesore.
