On poverty : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 13/6/2019

In our country, and others like them, at election times, and indeed pretty well all the time, poverty is seen as being somehow wrong in principle, and my political party or yours will end it, or at least reduce it.

Well, I can see that Don Aitkin isn't going to respond to my posts, which attacked his position effectively. I wonder why?

Could it be that Don holds racists like myself in such contempt that he considers it beneath his dignity to respond?

Or could it be something else? Like maybe Don knows that I am right but he is too scared to come right out and say it?

Don knows what would happen to him if he did that. The Red Guards in his university would go on the rampage and picket his office, disrupt his classes, and hound him out of the university just like that Victorian historian. Or, the university would sack him just like that University of NSW professor who correctly predicted an African crime wave if we imported black Africans as migrants or "refugees." News flash. Today's news informed the public that the State of Victoria is offering a $100,000 dollar reward for "The Laneway Rapist" who's published image clearly shows a black African.

This is how civilizations fail and fall. The people who are supposed to be the champions of free speech become intimidated by the ideological zealots who's bankrupt ideology, like racial equality, depends upon lies and outright intimidation for it's propagation.

Many of us are old enough to remember a time when Asia was just as poor as Africa, South America, and the Middle East today. But the Asians are now either rich, or are becoming richer. Why? Because as a race, Asians are collectively a bit smarter than white Europeans. Being smart, generally speaking, Asians make much better, more productive, and more law abiding immigrants to western countries than people from the Middle East, Africa, or South America. That is the Mammoth in the room. Talking about poverty or crime without considering race or culture is just useless semantics.

Even if it is illegal to say so. In Australia today, it is illegal to tell the truth. Any civilization which thinks that way is doomed to fail when matched against civilizations who are not afraid to face unpleasant truths.

LEGO, heartening to find someone still standing up for 'correct' and not 'politically correct'.
I too have been at odds with many here, not only the commentors but the moderators as well.
I currently have a comment 'pulled' for, as they put it, 'deleted for abusive language'.
I have no idea what they are on about, my language has, if anything, toned down slightly over time as the need to make strong delivery of a point seems to no longer be necessary as the topics are becoming more boring or less interesting.
I've asked Don if he can send me a copy of my, so called, abusive language, so I may be better informed as to what has changed in OLO's policy.
I have always preached that if one cannot say 'exactly' what they feel then the conversation is moot.
So if I have to watch my P's and Q's because of some pansy and their sensitivities, then I am not being honest, either with myself or everyone else, and I certainly won't be getting my point across.
I've always maintained, say what you mean and mean what you say.
To do otherwise is dishonest.
LEGO, we must NEVER allow this PC disease to 'spread', because it is a disease, you can be sure of that.
If enough people reject this PC push, truth will prevail.
I'm confused about one thing.
If uni's are a place of learning, and the children attending uni are still learning and won't be in a position to be taken seriously until they have been in their respective 'careers' for some years, then why in hell are we taking cue's or even listening to what these 'children' have to say, as if they know what they're talking about.
Age aside, being at uni implies intelligence, not maturity, which is so lacking these days.
What it does not afford them is 'experience'.
Until they have experienced or lived in the 'real' three dimensional world and not the two dimensional one of books, they are missing a dimension or one of the final building blocks of life.

for Altrav, I sympathise, but OLO is not my site (which is donaitkin.com), so I can't directly help you at all, though I will send a note to the Editor pointing out your problem and asking whether he can help you.

PC is the Leftists' only weapon & for anyone who refuses to see the outcome of PC, I recommend watching the movie "The Island" !

Lego, I did reply to your first criticism. After that, you wrote:'Writers like Don Atkin should be ashamed of themselves. They are selling out their own people and their own culture, a culture which just happens to be the best one ever invented. Pretending that their own culture or it's people are at fault for the existence of ever growing numbers of "poor" people is complete rubbish. There are reasons for poverty, and it has little to do with the culture of western free market people who believe in democracy and free speech. Unless you factor in the existence of people within that culture who hate it, wish to destroy it, or who have a compulsive need to virtue signal and pretend that they are better than everyone else in society because they are the true champions of the "poor" who are the victims of the "rich."'

Again, you miss the point. I do not share the views you impute to me. I said there were people who thought that way, and I offered alternatives.To some degree I share your position. Read it all again.
