Random Note — The ABC’s Frankenstein Fake News

There’s was Geraldine Doogue doubling down on RN’s breakfast program on Saturday Extra on Saturday morning beating up and attempting to breathe life into the corpse of the ABC’s still born, unsubstantiated, uncorroborated Frankenstein’s monster of fake news about the Murdoch/Stokes conspiracy over Malcolm Turnbull’s demise.

Sanity Banished, Standards Cast Down — Quadrant Online

I cannot think of a time when more people have lost their minds — opponents and erstwhile allies alike. what changed in the Sixties was a newly emerged willingness of the many to accept whacko ideas (relativism) without comment and, sometimes, as gospel. From there it was a short step to institutionalising the absurd and the offensive, incorporating acceptance of the asinine as the acid of acceptable opinion. It was the seductive appeal of tolerance to those coming of age in the Sixties that was the ace up the sleeve of those who bent on changing the world.

Random Note — Hate speech, racism and bullying

The thing about these recently contrived and confected accusations of hate speech is that the term is ill defined, very slippery and mercurial and very much in the ear of the beholder. Often, as with shrieks and howls of racism, or in recent weeks in Canberra, bullying, with no specifics of who, what, where, when and how, hate speech is simply an all purpose, Swiss Army Knife, linguistic device deployed by those who disagree because of a paucity of skill in arguing their case and designed to close down debate and damage character and reputation.

Random Note — Chris Kenny, ABC groupthink distorts debate we need to have — The Weekend Australian

The Orwellian boilerplate line about “Diversity is one of the ABC’s key strategic drivers” is up there with “war is peace.” Their pea and thimble trick of meaningless diversity of exotic gender, race, colour and culture is exemplified and experienced on The ABC’s panel program, The Drum, on any night of the week where the guest lineup, talking points and opinions tick the same old prescribed and predictable boxes.

Rise Of The Snowflake Generation — The Weekend Australian

Everywhere I looked, students were crying and consoling one another. The university had brought in therapy dogs, so that students could stroke them to alleviate their anxiety. At other campuses there were reports of colouring books and Play-Doh being provided to relieve stress. On Columbia’s Low Steps, a large safe space had been assembled, at the centre of which students took turns to express their terror and revulsion at the news of Trump’s victory. A student told me they had just written their will because they expected to “end up in a puddle of blood” soon. They were behaving like toddlers deprived of their latest episode of Peppa Pig. As though their civilisation had crumbled overnight and the barbarians were hammering at the gates of their campus.

Stick with this. An interesting read — Progressivism takes its place among the major religions — American Thinker

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all profess an all-knowing and all-powerful supernatural being: God. Progressives may say they do not belong to a religion because they do not believe in God. But Progressivism professes an all-powerful State. The State is Progressives’ god and determines what is moral and immoral and has the power to destroy whom it wants. Just as Muslims believe that the whole world should be converted to Islam, Progressives believe that the whole world should be converted to their leftist agenda.
