The Many Faces of Self-Hatred

This is one of the archived bits I never found the time to translate with so many more topical items around needing to be blogged. Being confined to occasional online access right now, I finally managed to make this "bloggable".

I am not trying to expose the folly of a number of menopausing crones or one attention seeking journalist. That is, so to say, a collateral effect. It isn't even so much about another one of the Evils of Islam. Hell, we have seen much worse! At least the victims I am introducing here don't get their heads chopped off and I suppose that is SOMETHING.

No, this is about a specifically nasty and dangerous kind of political correctness.

I never twigged before that there might be a hierarchy of politically correct values and mantras, but of course there is, and if two of them clash one will be jettisoned and you can bet your right of primogeniture against an old shoe that it's the more contemptible one of the two that will prevail. After all, that's what political correctness is all about, isn't it?

This is, too, about the sad fact that self-hatred may exist at both ends of an argument.

However, earlier this year, I came across what is probably THE fucking dumbest and certainly one of the five most irritating sites in the entire Internet, together with PETA, ISM, Robert Fisk's website and NOW.

What is it about?

It is about, and by, victims of the schemes of "Middle Eastern men". (The victims' choice of words, not mine!)

Read the rest HERE. High nausea-threshold requited!
