The only way freedom is going to be restored, be it in the office, the warehouse or the college campus is for people to exercise it. Courageously and in defiance of speech codes and harassment guidelines.
The totalitarian impulse to control has thrived in past decades from our complacency and fear. So challenge feminist and multicultural thought control first in its university lair, then at work and in the media. It is with their euphemisms that our oppressors seek to control us by shaping our perceptions of reality. Don’t adopt them. Illegal immigrants are not “undocumented citizens” (Most used forged documents). Aboriginals are not “First Nations”. (Most occupy land their ancestors seized by war and extermination). The Canadian Labour Congress does NOT favour regularization of illegal workers, they favour amnesty. Cut the crap. And give me a break. Prostitutes are not “sex trade workers”. They’re prostitutes.
Once having rejected their politically correct verbal valium, question the empirical foundations of their claims. Upon closer scrutiny they usually prove bogus. Pornography never did inspire rape. Domestic violence is not a male monopoly. Racism is not a predominantly white character flaw in Canadian society. Immigration does not create net benefits for the economy. Spanking is not child abuse or harmful to the great majority of children.. Daycare does not adequately substitute for a mother’s care. Our state-funded school system is not doing a better job of educating young people than home-schooling. Our health care system is not out-performing other western models. And cultural diversity does not offer net benefits, indeed the Putnam study at Harvard and the Healey study at Monash University in Australia indicates that it undermines trust, volunteerism and community solidarity.
Freedom is a muscle that atrophies from disuse. Canadians appear to be of such a nature as to expect institutions, particularly government institutions, to take care of their needs in perpetuity. We have asked government to protect us from illiteracy and ill-health and the vagaries of the market place, but it has not stopped there, it has endeavoured to protect us from ourselves. From our thoughts and words.
Now we have but one option. To cut the noose or stop breathing.
In an authentic democracy, the people have a right not to be “educated” by their government. They have a right to read “hate” literature and make their own judgments. If they are not to be trusted with proper discernment, if they are not to be credited with the ability to assess information, then rather than restrict their access to information, why doesn’t Big Brother just take away their right to vote?
