There has been a lot of ink spilled about the stupidity of being politically correct (also known as “PC”) and while it is without question many leftist purveyors of this concept imagine they are doing Gia’s work by pushing PCism, the plain fact is it is dangerous thinking and, even worse, illogical and stupid. And Canada’s left-wing Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, gives us the umpteenth reason why you should hate liberals and their idiocy.
The problem with PCism, of course, is that the process becomes the goal. Instead of doing actual good, what you end up with is people more worried about the process and verbiage of PCism than in what being PC will actually do in a real world situation. It leads to mindlessness, not solutions.
Nt long ago the Canadian PM gave us a perfect example of supplanting process with real world solutions when he said Muslim “honor killings” aren’t barbaric. His intentions were to be fair to Muslims, but his actual words ended up excusing the murder of women for daring to love someone other than whom their parents chose.
Trudeau’s stupidity came after a Canadian agency wrote a citizenship guide that said the government doesn’t condone cultural practices that are “barbaric.” The barbarism in question included “spousal abuse, ‘honor killings,’ female genital mutilation, forced marriage or other gender-based violence.”
Now, no western society… in fact, no sane human… should condone any of those things and, yes, they are all barbaric.
But left-winger and resident morn Justin Trudeau just had to jump out there to criticize his own government for being mean to the Muzzies.
As Breitbart News reported, here is what he said of the citizenship guide:
There’s nothing that the word “barbaric” achieves that the words “absolutely unacceptable” would not have achieved. We accept that these acts are absolutely unacceptable. That’s not the debate. In casual conversation, I’d even use the word barbaric to describe female circumcision, for example, but in an official Government of Canada publication, there needs to be a little bit of an attempt at responsible neutrality.
In other words, Trudeau was more worried about sound mean to the Muslims by calling their barbaric practices what they are that he in effect came out in favor of murder, rape, beatings and abuse of women.
Here we see this fool’s knee-jerk reaction was to worry about the rhetoric based on PCism, not about what is actually being said. He was more worried about the process of PCism instead of truth and justice.
So, what we have here is a perfect reason to hate all left-wingers. Because they are so caught up with the PC process they are perfectly willing to let evil exist unhindered. All so they can puff themselves up that they caaaare about people’s feeeeelings.
Caring about feeeelings at the expense of justice and truth is an outright evil and once again we see that modern liberalism is an abject evil.
