Loony Libertarians

'Libertarian' senator wants gun liberalisation on the grounds that it would allow victims of violence to protect themselves. That may be true, but it would allow perpetrators to do more harm to others. Anyone who wants guns to be available is loony. I kid you not. Maybe, it is a political stunt to justify any radical movements.

Sociology: The Indoctrination Machine

The Chairman of China, Xi Jin Ping once said that, to foreigners, there is not one China, but a thousand different slices of China.  What a profound phrase! There are indeed many ways to look at society. One sees society through one's lens which has been shaped by one's values and beliefs.

Sociology is the study of society. Hence, in sociology, one of the subjects which I have studied, social theories are taught. There are many ways to look at society, and this is no cliche. Sometimes, what others interpret as a lack of something, may not be seen as an issue by another because the latter believes the lack is not a lack at all.

 For example, people in Asia do not talk about rights. Instead, these people talk about communalistic obligations. People in the West may see this a dangerous because it leads to entrenched discrimination because people are not able to fight for what they see as rights. However, people from communalistic societies could argue that  allowing people to fight for rights leads to unacceptable selfish behaviour and does not stop discrimination. Different social groups have a different framework of thinking, and hence a different social structure.

Sociology courses in Western universities are based on humanistic, rights-based framework. It is not an objective ideology that all must submit to, but a subjective one. It is a perspective. The dangerous thing about sociology courses is that lecturers are in a position to indoctrinate students with ideologies that are dangerous - ones that incite hatred against certain groups who are against the liberal regime, in the guise of tolerance. Tolerance, in which one must support certain minorities and hate those who are against them. This is the hidden agenda that infiltrates modern universities - the intolerance of tolerance.

The Attitudes of the Conservatives v Liberals

There is a difference in attitude between the people on each side of politics. No side of politics are the same in the strict sense. The only similarity is that they all have an agenda. What the agenda serves is a different matter. The two images below are examples of how the ideology of both the conservatives and liberals can be compared. Although they are generalisations, they may contain some elements of truth.

The Perverse Progressives

Majority of people I have dealt with are perverse progressives whatever "progressive" means. Progressive seems to mean that one is very open-mined and liberal. This often means that is order for one to be progressive, one must forget the traditional values, that is family and community values and ensure that everyone complies with the new set that seeks to liberate people. This liberation is seen as good by many as it seems to mean that they are free to believe as they please, free to think as they please and free to say as they please. Majority of people think that it is the most liberating ideology which will create a harmonious, civilised and peaceful society. This is the stupidest and most perverse philosophy, no offence.

What is even more sad is that many people think it is perfectly normal. If one does as one pleases whenever one pleases and however one pleased, there will be people whose dignity is interfered with. This subverts the principle of equality that most people swear by. Yet, the majority thinks it is a good philosophy because it is "tolerant" and "open-minded". One does not need to be a conservative philosopher to see that is a a foolish, perverse philosophy. This is the disgusting core of liberalism.

Liberals (with a small 'l') think that conservatives are very narrow-minded, backwards, naive and foolish to believe that there must be a set of rules that society should live by, in terms of do's and don'ts. However, liberals themselves have a principle too - that one must not criticise others for their actions or beliefs because it is their beliefs and actions, such that no one should be criticised except those who opposes them, that is, the people against moral relativism. The liberals are really not as "open-minded" as they really are.

Marxist Indocrination

Marxism treats the government as the supreme body, as though it is some divine figure. The government that is. I don't know what you think but the government is made up flawed human beings, human like those who it governs. Therefore, it unreasonable to treat the government as a divine figure.Marxism on campus to make people believe that one must trust the government. However, Marxism, despite its good intention to make everyone equal, has failed to gain the trust of the people. In fact, it has made people distrust government more than any other form of government has.

Despite its name, Stop Political Correctness is a group which seeks to discuss whether PC is needed in society. It does not stop people from expressing views different from that which the members hold.

Indoctrination, Indoctrination, Indoctrination

Every word with huge implications gets discussed intensively as to the meaning of the word in the postmodern age. This includes the word 'indoctrination'. Indoctrination is the impounding of ideologies or beliefs into one, without place for questioning what is being taught. That is real indoctrination. Modern universities are largely tools of indoctrination. Many people do not even realise this because they do not even know what they believe in, what they don't and, most importantly, why.

"You impose your views on me, but I don't impose mine on you", says the liberal

Modern universities are a propaganda tool for liberalism. Anyone who dares to even hold personal values or beliefs that are against liberal beliefs is deemed a bigot without question. The young university liberals think they are so inherently open-minded because they are progressive, liberal and, above all, anti-conservative. Most of those who do not get involved in politics or have a concern, the apolitical -  have liberal leanings: they believe that, if nothing else, one should not be a conservative. One should attack conservatives, never liberals even if the liberals are outrageous and act in a bullying manner.

The liberals say, "it's fine if conservatives have their views, but they should not impose it on others. They are the ones responsible for doing so, not the liberals." They say legislating with respect to (conservative) personal beliefs constitutes to imposing one's views on others. However, legislating with respect to liberal values is not imposing views on others? Do liberals not have personal beliefs? Regarding legislation, the values of some ideology, irrespective of what it is will ultimately underlie the law. That is the nature of policy. There is no policy that 100% of people are satisfied with, and you what? That's life. 

The liberals, of course, say that it does not impose views of others when its values are legislated with respect to because they provide "open choices" for all. But, there is a catch in this. What one may appear to be open choice is not always that - a choice.
