    The “Mind Viruses” Creating Social Justice Warriors

    Given that they are so wrong, how do the ideologues defend their idea pathogens? Under totalitarian regimes, the solution is direct. You criminalize if not violently suppress (or kill) any dissenting voices. In the West, the ideological indoctrination is subtler. It is achieved by an ethos of political correctness and best enforced by creating university campuses that lack intellectual diversity … intellectual terrorists instruct generations of gullible students to remain quiet in their classroom seats while they inculcate them with anti-science nonsense.”

      “idea pathogens” – this is something I find disquieting. My reasoning? All ideas aid in the development of the ‘best ideas’.
      To stifle one is to stifle those that may lead us forward.
      It is irrelevant as to what types of ideas are being squashed; what is relevant is that ideas of certain biases are being touted as the ‘correct’ idea and any contrary ideas are being touted as incorrect.

          Indeed! Witness the “truth police” rolled out on various popular social media websites, which I have shunned since day one. How dare anyone to presume to be the arbiters of truth? The don’t do as I but as I say folks. I vote with my feet, wallet, and – most of all – with my attention. I pay attention to most on this web site and thank the creator of this site accordingly.
