Entry: Querying the Homintern Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/querying_the_homintern#284 Post contents: I came to this article from Antiwar.com, having been warned by the author that the article was shocking (particularly to those on the left). Now, I am left-leaning on certain issues - eg. public health and education - though only to the extent that I can abide the whole idea of government, (which, spiritually, I can't really). But, after all the anticipation, I was not shocked. It was easy to agree with everything Justin said aboutpolitical correctness. (Those things I wouldn't necessarily agree with - that allstraights think gays are after them, and that 'real' gays want promiscuity not marriage - were just too witty for me to take seriously!) I would like to know why I was not shocked. Was it that Justin only said it would be shocking to make me click on the link? Or am I just not left-wing enough? My theory - I wasn't shocked because I don't live in America. (And perhaps Justin thought we'd be shocked because he does . . . maybe some part of himself was shocked?) Back to my theory . . . in my experience, American visitors to my country (Australia) are always so damned shocked at everything and anything. Each to a man is political correctness incarnate - not least of all when it comes to a perceived 'racism' directed against their own good selves. 'Humourless' is the word (and don't forget to spell it with a 'u'). Long time fan of your work, Justin. They don't build conservatives like you here in Australia, more's the pity. Sent at: 2008 07 24
