The creepy cult of modern faux liberalism

^^^ I agree in principle.

Some of these people need to look up the actual definition of liberal, but then again I don't know if they actually do regard themselves as liberal, or just self appointed moral guardians.

I'm not sure where it all comes from but I suspect a combination of 'hands off' 'liberal' parenting without boundaries, and the generation of me me me is to blame.

There is this awful woman on one of your news channels. I can't remember her name (Melissa something..?) Who is a complete faux liberal ghoul. She recently jumped down some guys throat live on air because he referred to some democrat potential presidential hopeful as 'hard working' She said she agreed he was a strong candidate but it was wrong to call him hard working because he didn't work hard compared to black people working in cotton fields 150 years ago or whatever. She spoke with that same kind of hysterical, breathless timbre you here the girl at Yale squawking in, as if she was desperately replaying some script she had read over and over.

I'm growing just as weary of faux liberal zombies as I am of right wing lunatics. They all deserve each other.

TRIGGER WARNING!! - MAY UPSET THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DOG TRAINED TO BE OVER SENSITIVE.

Recently I watched students surround a respected professor at Yale demanding an apology from him for endorsing Halloween, and suggesting that those offended by some peoples costumes should merely turn away.

The professor calmly tried to explain his position which was essentially based in inclusivity, but this induced what can only be described as a hysterical screaming panic attack in one intense young woman, whose words of venomous condemnation evoked a round of "jazz hands" applause from the zombified crowd. Just to be clear "jazz hands" is basically clicking ones fingers instead of clapping to show appreciation, so as not to induce anxiety in others...

This is just one example of the weird and darkly ironic authoritarian behaviour of the new cult of modern liberalism being installed and encouraged in the young.

Does anyone else think there is something unsavoury and dubious going on, and that the world is essentially going mad??
