A strange feature of Western society is the almost universal values inversion where everything that was celebrated yesteryear is now verboten and vice versa. For advocates of such, it is progress and for others destructive iconclasm at best but this only addresses the superficial
surface values (well not quite superficial for many) and doesn't touch how deep this sense of inversion affects even basic logic and reasoning. Everywhere where Westerners cling strongest to the status quo and follow elite and government signals to obey, they mark this as somehow
being either a persecuted minority or avant garde thinker. Case in point the Facebook whistleblower farce which was a transparent government op is spun as a "brave" dissident speaking truth to power. Or regime media workers repeating state department press clippings as poor put
upon workers bravely reporting what the powerful don't want you to know. In the academy, everyone is demanding censorship of everyone else in the name of being a powerless victim of nefarious forces who just coincidentally is pushing the government line and using state power to
coerce others to adopt their position. The persecuted celebrity is a victim of evil doers despite constantly appearing on every regime media network and meeting with it's government officials. It's all just bizarre how everything is flipped upside down.
