I haven’t written much on this weblog over the past week, so I’ll link to a couple of recent posts from newish additions to the blogroll. First, Amadán gives us a taxonomy of wingnuts and trolls.
For example, entry #2 on “Randroids”
Objectivists, aka Randroids
Libertarians are one thing. I have some libertarian sympathies (although I think most libertarians are just self-centered greedheads who want a philosophy to justify placing themselves at the center of their own little universe). But hardcore “objectivists” and devotees of Ayn Rand are just loathsome, cultlike in their behavior (they view Rand much as Scientologists view Hubbard), and essentially advocating self-centered amorality as “enlightened self-interest.”
By the way — Robert A. Heinlein was a science fiction author!
(Oh, by the way, I’ve just added The Light of Reason to the blogroll)
Meanwhile, Harry gives us a rundown on Conservative Correctness. How many of Amadán’s wingnuts and trolls parrot lines like this?
The white, heterosexual male, is a victim of our currently “PC Society”. His freedom of speech is restricted, job opportunities are denied to him, his viewpoint is never reflected in the liberal-left dominated media and people who try to raise families and live a decent law-abiding, hard-working life are penalised in favour of all manner of deviants and minorities.
I wonder how many “angry white men” realise the reason they didn’t get that job that when to someone who just happened to be black wasn’t because of Political Correctness, or anti-white prejudice. It was because they didn’t want to give the job to a complete jerk.
