Just Saying | Red Guards are alive and well, no longer confined to Chinese history
Yonden Lhatoo sees very little difference between the mob hysteria of the Cultural Revolution and the growing intolerance for unorthodox thinking
This one little article appeared to trigger mass hysteria among readers who smelled a conspiracy to undermine the good fight to save the planet and saw a lowering of editorial standards at this newspaper, never mind the scores of other stories it has run sticking to the mainstream narrative that climate change is real and anyone who denies it is the spawn of Satan and must be burned at the stake.
The concept of political correctness is becoming so skewed, and adherence to it so militant, that it’s all messed up
It seems there can be no debate, let alone dialectic, with so-called liberals these days if you dare to go against the ideological orthodoxy that dictates their brand of thought and conduct. Somewhere down the line, questioning the impact of man-made climate change has become as sacrilegious as denying the Holocaust, and any dissident is instantly stigmatised as a “climate change denier”. Like it’s a crime.
