Is Debate Possible in a Liberal Society? No!
No, genuine debate is not permitted in a liberal society. Debate implies the possibility of one side being wrong, of difference and discrimination. Liberalism call out of bounds vast geographies of debate – religion, race, Jews, the Holocaust, etc etc. – as beyond the pale. There is no tolerance of intellectuals for the sheer joy of truth seeking sceptically testing knowledge claims. These heretics are punished by the traitorous, parasitic new class intellectuals by unemployment or by use of race hate laws and the like to imprison them. Most of these vile new class toads are atheists, but their anti-rationalism far exceeds that of the Church in its Inquisitional fury. At least the Inquisition has an over-reaching point in protecting society from a perceived threat (rightly or wrongly). Our intellectuals actively work for the demise of our race and nation. And they do it on our taxes.
Yes, this is all done, paid for out of the tax dollars of hard working people. Go through the grant and fellowship funding of politically correct projects of the Australian grant funding bodies, and weep. Academics, many of whom obtain grants – and thus are in a legal conflict of interests – run this show. Sure there needs to be final Ministerial approval but that is usually a rubber stamp. The fat old boys with a hunger for sugar have the keys to the lolly cupboard. Is it any wonder that Australian academia is such an eroded landscape.
