As far as I can see hardly anyone understands what he’s saying most of the time load pseudo intellectual rambling,don’t know if that’s intentional or not but remember somebody , can’t remember who, saying years ago they thought people not understanding him were stupid then one day he realised he was the stupid one because he wasn’t explaining himself well enough so he could be understood.
This made me smile.
If you can't understand my posts, it could be that they're the ramblings of a pompous pseudo intellectual, but there is another possibility....
I'll put it simply, back in the day all that was required to be a left winger was to believe in the concept of fairness and that inequality in society was a result of the exploitation of the masses by greedy capitalists.
But now there is a list of "isms" and a moving feast of correct think that one must believe in order to be left wing.
In short, it is no longer possible to be a left winger unless you believe in multiculturalism, critical race theory, trans ideology, Palestinian genocide, DEI, intersectionality, white privilege and that the UK is and always has been a country of immigrants, the list goes on and on. And you must reject English ethnicity, the concept of the nation state, the existence of an over arching English culture, meritocracy, patriotism and women's rights.
All these "must have beliefs" and many more, have been bolted onto the left over the last twenty years or so, some of them are clearly incompatible with the core left wing principle of fairness, some of them contradict each other, some deny material reality and some come with menace, all come with a whiff of authoritarianism.
The left's greatest conceit and it's evident in here page after page, is that it believes there is a general consensus around these "must have beliefs" and if there isn't there should be, because these things are self evidently correct, they are good, empathetic, many of them have been stamped by the left as universal human rights for crying out loud!
So the greatest sin for any left leaning individual is the crime of saying "hang on a minute" to the "must haves".
As a consequence anyone who veers from the path of these "must haves" has to be labelled as either stupid, or simply a bad person with questionable motives.
I can't put it any simpler than this.
