Episode 122: Conformism In Irish Politics
Manage episode 444338016 series 3344156
The ‘woke’ in Ireland who call anyone wanting to limit immigration ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’, waving rainbow flags as if afraid we’ll forget they exist, always talking about ‘trans rights’, climate change and protecting the vulnerable from ‘hate speech’ – ironically, these people would in most cases have been Nazis in Nazi Germany, dogmatists in Catholic Ireland, and fundamentalist supporters of the Taliban if they had been raised in Afghanistan. Because the majority of these people, I believe, hold their views not from independent thinking but from conformism, from directly accepting the opinions and claims of others. Sometimes it is from fear (of ostracisation, career-damage, social awkwardness, etc.) but more often it is probably from laziness, simply assuming that the people in government and media must know what’s true, otherwise they would be at a march in Coolock. Either way, these people have shown repeatedly in just the last few years their utter malleability, shifting opinions at the drop of a hat as soon as RTE or BBC say it’s now OK and true. So what would keep them in Hitler’s Germany from falling into the trap of that ideology? Or in any other case of dark culture? Tragically, the people most loudly professing their opposition to racism, sexism, prejudice and ruthless power in general, are the very ones falling for it yet again. But let us hope that pointing things like this out might wake them to join love’s true side.
