In this selection of essays, celebrated columnist and editor Brendan O\u2019Neill takes a cudgel to identity politics. From woke white people to the tyranny of transgenderism, from Islamo-censorship to the fashionability of mental illness, O\u2019Neill takes aim at it all. He puts the case for free thinking, free living, and free speech.<\/p>\n
From the book:<\/p>\n
“When even someone as pop as Perry, who has more Twitter followers than most countries have citizens, is playing the awful game of bowing and scraping before cultural dividing lines, you know PC madness has gone mainstream.”<\/p>\n
“This is what happens when you think hyper-racially, as the left now does, in alarming contrast to earlier leftists who said \u2018Let\u2019s be colourblind, guys\u2019: you resuscitate racial stereotypes.”<\/p>\n
“In 2007 [Osama bin Laden]he lectured the foul, greedy West again, claiming that \u2018all of mankind is in danger because of the global warming resulting to a large degree from the emissions of the factories of the major corporations\u2019. He beat Occupy Wall Street to the punch by four years, slamming the \u2018greed and avarice of the major corporations and their representatives\u2019.”<\/p>\n
“The response of our supposed betters to terror outrages \u2014 where they say, \u2018Don\u2019t blame Islam, don\u2019t criticise Islam\u2019 \u2014 is the worst response imaginable. It inflames the very religious narcissism and violent self-pity that motors many of these attacks.”<\/p>\n
“Far from taboo, having a mental illness, and talking about your mental illness, is all the rage. It\u2019s the latest must-have. You\u2019re no one unless you\u2019ve had a mental episode.”<\/p>\n
“Bill [Leak] was subjected to an Inquisitorial persecution. No, there were no pointy-hatted Bible-bashers or stakes being lit. But through the menaces of Islamists and the Stalinist cries for\u00a0The Australian<\/i>\u00a0to dump him and the HRC\u2019s vile hauling of him to account for himself, a man was afflicted for his thoughts, hectored for his ideas, made \u2018knackered\u2019 and \u2018drained\u2019 for daring to express what he believed to be true. Censorship is cruel. Witch-hunts are implicitly violent. They take a toll on their victims. And they took a toll on Bill.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
