So when Tanveer, says that the Left "spurn" these ideas, it seems to me that this flawed judgement must come from his own inherent tendency to be irrational and emotional; he imagines that everyone is like him and just goes around 'spurning' ideas that they do not like.<br /><br />He certainly fails to provide any evidence of his delusion that the Left "spurn" these ideas.<br /><br />I identify as left - but not Left - and I certainly don't spurn the ideas that psychologists have about authority, loyalty and sanctity; a good parent needs to use all these values to raise adults rather than spoiled little wanna be patriarchs. <br /><br />But the reality is that all the reasoned arguments I have read, the evidence from history and psychology, show that these particular human ideals have, and continue to lead to, racism, homophobia and sexism. <br /><br />More twaddle, twaddle to the max.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-21860863822123758082014-10-24T10:00:09.336+11:002014-10-24T10:00:09.336+11:00Hi Dorothy,

The whole point of holding the values of the enlightenment dear and believing in reason and rational scientific thought is in order to oppose the very ideologies that demand this sort of stupid self sacrifice. I for one don't want to die for these values but I'm quite happy to see their opponents cark it, because that 's how we win.<br /><br />DiddyWroteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
