The Kinder, More Tolerant Left
Musician Tim Minchin has spoken out against haters, declaring that we must not dehumanise those with whom we disagree.
This is the same Tim Minchin who released a song describing Catholic Cardinal George Pell as “scum”, a "pompous buffoon" and a "goddam coward".
"I've got a nice spot in hell with your name on it,” he sang about the Catholic Cardinal who was later exonerated of sex abuse charges after wrongfully serving 13 months in prison, 8 of those in solitary confinement.
Charming.
Minchin, a darling of the ABC, was quoted in the Daily Telegraph today arguing that screaming against people you don’t like is counter productive.
“The backlash against woke is inevitable and deserved, in a way,” he said.
“Because good left liberal ideas have been distorted by public-shaming, self-serving, narcissistic people who think they have a right to scream at anyone who disagrees with them.”
Indeed.
We look forward to Minchin’s song about how the High Court unanimously overturned Pell’s conviction and completely exonerated him from all wrong doing.
Would it be too much to ask for a song about cowardly buffoons who write songs defaming churchmen?
Minchin’s comments about the importance of not abusing one another came as he helped promote his sister’s soon-to-be released documentary about Israel Folau.
Israel Folau lost his contract with Australian Rugby Union after he posted on Instagram that homosexuals would go to hell unless they repented of their sins and were saved by Jesus.
The singer/song writer said he didn’t hate Folau. Rather, he regarded him as “not very educated”.
So much more tolerant.
Omgosh I remember during the “love is love” debate that my sister (who has a trans adult child) sent me a message that included some choice lines from Tim. I will never forget being referred to as a (forgive the profanity please, but I quote) “bigoted c**t”.
My contempt for this “entertainer” has been somewhat amplified and shows no sign of relenting. Love him as a human. Pity him for his worldview and his words.
I cannot understand how these post modern narcissists maintain that they are so righteous when they are the least tolerant of all.
The left are the masters of Hate, no wonder these apostles of no virtue pointedly keep using it, Notice that Love is not in their vocabulary unless it is sexualised. Minchin is a fiction of his own mind.
