It must now be obvious to everyone that the insult of choice for The Left is ‘Racist’. The word is never far from the reach of all Leftists in any kind of debate. Regardless of the subject being debated, if a Leftist hears some ideas he doesn’t agree with, the ‘R’ word will be quickly deployed. Even if the subject under discussion has no direct racial aspect, the dedicated Leftist will have no qualms about throwing R-bombs from the start.
One of the most obvious examples of this phenomenon is the Brexit debate in the UK. The debate is whether the UK should, or should not, leave the EU. It’s an issue that has many obvious implications that should be debated: economics; sovereignty; democracy; accountability; political transparency; whether our elected representatives are better at understanding complex issues than the stupid electorate; culture; the risks of remote rule; EU federalisation; quality of life for the indigenous population; whether the UK or the EU should decide where UK tax revenues are spent etc etc.
However, for Leftists, all of these issues are irrelevant. For your average Leftist, Brexit is a one dimensional issue: If you want Britain to leave the EU, you are Racist.
It feels like this is the ultimate insult for all Leftists: To them, ‘Racist’ must be the very worst thing you can call someone. A bit like a builder calling you a ‘Fucking cunt’. Its a natural fit.
Of course, the reason that Leftists use this word so much is because they live in abject fear of being called a Racist themselves. It’s Freudian: their greatest fear is that, deep down, they might actually be a little bit racist. So calling someone racist serves 2 purposes:
1) it’s a smoke screen for the fact that your average middle class Leftist has no black friends and just one Asian friend who they were at Uni with but don’t see much these days.
2) it’s a good tactic to put your opponent on the defensive. Immediately, as soon as ‘Racist’ makes an appearance, the accused is now on the defensive and subject at hand becomes irrelevant. This can make the Leftist appear that he is doing well in the debate when all that’s happened is that the debate has been reframed to the Leftst’s advantage.
The fact that the Left are so obsessed with Racism can only mean that they are as racist as fuck.
