COGNITIVE DISSONANCE WRIT LARGE

Bertrand Russell, not a man I am accustomed to referencing on many occasions as he happens to exemplify much of what I am diametrically opposed to, however to give him his due he was a very astute and intelligent man and he had this to say about the 'social justice warriors' of his day:

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

Of course we are seeing this truism played out in politics, popular culture, in the movies, in fact in every area of  existence ad nauseam these days. There is no stone left upturned by these goose-stepping, young thought-crime commissars where we ordinary (deplorable) citizens might escape their harsh and accusatory gaze. 

Consider as an example the love and tolerance exhibited by a Greens (political party) campaigner and peace loving, virtue signalling, young social justice warrior who occupies a vertiginous position on the hierarchical ladder of victim-hood:

I'm a white, queer, disabled, middle class Italian-Australian woman

These are her claims to being allowed to scold, to badger, to insult, to demean to do anything she damn well wants to because she is special.

The left keep telling us how tolerant they are.
Except, of course, for anyone who disagrees with them, where it would appear that nostalgia for Stalin’s terrors is alive and well in the Australian Greens.
Here is yet another example: Damiya Hayden is a campaign co-coordinator for the Australian Young Greens. This is her in a discussion on Facebook with former Menzies House Managing Editor John Humphreys:
