Rebuttals of the Week #39: ‘Hateful voices’ and the politics of the dumb

Tim R: You are known by the company you keep. When the Conservatives embrace these hateful voices like Faith Goldie and Rebel Media they will be painted with that brush, even moderate true Conservatives.

Going to Getugly:  “Hateful voices”. That’s the emotional rhetoric of an adolescent not of a thinking adult. This is what political discourse has been reduced to in Canada and in other Western nations. It’s the strategy of people who have no ideas: “I don’t have to know anything. I don’t have to think. I just have to denounce anyone who doesn’t tell me I’m right as morally inferior to myself.”

It goes without saying that it’s a lot easier to simply proclaim yourself a better person than anyone who doesn’t conform to your views than it is to demonstrate the superiority of your ideas.

It’s the politics of the dumb.
