I seen an interesting vid, this video Voltaire's Ghost has dark humor, and talks with kind of an atheist, anti-immigration commentary on the whole crisis
I don't know if you can take the vid serious but it is an eye opener, you hear the phrase
Regressive Leftism or the
Regressive Left , a left who focus on what is politically correct...meaning the liberal left iis not the same anymore, the liberal left movement died years ago. It dies with MLK, FDR, JFK and other champions of the left...the guys today are not really traditional liberals but 'Regressives' have made political correctness not freedom their cause and in parts of Europe, its is much worse than the United States.
Well, I had and bloody well watch that video, now, didn't I?! Well, there goes my evening.
First off, I have half a mind to inform Universal about this video, considering how much he uses clips from Jurassic Park in analogies that are really out there. Seriously, that guy must love JP a lot to put this much of it into a video with a topic that's not even slightly related.
Second, "Women's right not to be raped"? Well, yes, but that's on the police to prevent rape, and/or investigate it, and the justice system to prosecute it. Should be considered for intergration, but not for immigration itself. Because, if you deny refugees based on "a few of them might rape somebody", that's a general punishment before a crime has even been committed. So much for constitutional democracy and liberalism.
Then there's that politician interviewed, where the guy stops the video to ask why she's not the head of state in Sweden, and in fact, all of Europe. Because, obviously, her sharing his opinion on a single topic not only qualifies her to lead Europe, but makes her the only person qualified.
One should note that she's a member of the Sweden Democrats. The Sweden Democrats don't have an integration policy, they actually reject integration, because in their mind, integration is "meeting in the middle", and the Swedish people should not be "burdened", and instead advocate "assimilation or deportation". Again, so much for liberalism.
Then he gets it on about this police person. While he might have a point about there not being much of a difference between a cover-up and self-censorship, he totally misses the point that this person acknowledges that mistakes were made. The narrator also criticizes the Swedish police not talking about nationality or race, either missing or ignoring the reason for it. Look at what happens in the U.S., and to lesser extent in most Western countries. The police tends to disproportionally go after minorities. Racism is institutional, so the Swedish police actively trying to get rid of it, that's not something to criticize, but to support. Because, you know, liberalism.
Bill Maher often makes good points about the "regressive left" and liberals not standing up for liberal ideas (although he, too, sometimes talks before knowing all the facts, as he did last Friday about the events in Cologne). But the person who made that video clearly is no Maher. Where Maher usually has a well-thought out opinion supported by facts, this guy only has an opinion.
