Dear Kipp,

Calling names lends sanction to name-calling. As someone said: Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Unintentionally, Kipp has ably demonstrated how the narrative of activists has been enlarged to include words, images and wrongs from other countries, in his case the US which he probably detests, to enlarge the field for complaint to preserve and enlarge the victim industry in Australia.

The victim industry is worth billions annually, almost all of it from taxpayers' money. So it is hardly surprising there are professionals feverishly beavering away to find more areas of hurt and more areas for expensive representation, advocacy and compensation.

Any wonder there is not enough money to pay nurses and ambulances are ramped outside emergency entrances because there are no beds available? In one State of Australia 90% of graduating nurses do not have jobs and look like losing their hard-won registration. In other States, 50-60% do not have jobs. The federal government has reduced money for hospitals.

Successive federal governments have preferred to steal doctors from developing countries where they are needed than train our own first class graduates. Same excuse from the feds, no money.

Plenty of money for the victim industry though. The squeaky wheels get an endless supply of grease. Educated professionals are good at manipulating a media intent on sensationalism and making profits. It is all about getting the victim narratives up blindingly fast to capture headlines.

Even where a complaint is later found to be manufactured or a storm in a teacup, it matters little because political activism is about headlines to embarrass and sledge decisionmakers. That also ensures that good people self-censor later to avoid similar rough treatment and abuse in the Kangaroo Courts of political correctness.

David F, I was not name calling, just making my own point by my own personal life experience, of having derogatory comment directed at me; just because of whom I am. WASP but Gay!

Hi Kipp. I think I might be a redneck, & if I was really sure just what it is, I think I might be quite proud of it. I doubt it still means a poor field worker, with a sun burnt neck, in the way many use it.

Having led a sheltered life, I really have no idea what a WASP is, but if you're one it is probably very good.

I was most definitely quite gay, back in the 50s, before some bunch usurped the use of it, & it became a dirty word.

Just goes to show what a pile of garbage it all is really, doesn't it?
