The Reality Of Reason

“But why would such “North Korea”–style oppression be the logically inescapable result of political correctness on campus? “All ideologies,” asserts Lind, “are totalitarian because the essence of an ideology … is to take some philosophy and say on the basis of this philosophy certain things must be true – such as the whole of the history of our culture is the history of the oppression of women. Since reality contradicts that, reality must be forbidden.” He adds, “It must become forbidden to acknowledge the reality of our history. People must be forced to live a lie, and since people are naturally reluctant to live a lie, they naturally use their ears and eyes to look out and say, ‘Wait a minute. This isn’t true. I can see it isn’t true,’ the power of the state must be put behind the demand to live a lie. That is why ideology invariably creates a totalitarian state.” Kupelian, “The Snapping Of The American Mind”

Our university campuses lead the way in political correctness which is bringing us into our country’s descent into totalitarianism.
