Steyn: "...The Left's much-vaunted powers of empathy routinely fail when confronted by those who do not agree with them politically. .."

In other words, it's the "empathy" of society's freaks. bttt

"under the guise of "tolerance" and multiculturalism, we have deprived these poor souls of the feedback they need in order to know that they are not normal. This is not empathy, but cruelty. ..." Here:

Revenge of the Ghouls: When Liberals Attack

".....Believe or not, there was a time, not too long ago, that abnormal people in our culture actually felt abnormal. They were aware of their deviancy, and how this deviancy contributed to an unhappiness that no government has the power to eliminate. .....

"...In order to allow such people to feel normal in their abnormalcy, we have had to develop a deviant culture for them to live in, to such an extent that the normal are now made to feel abnormal.

"This is one of the hidden influences of the Tea Party movement, and more generally the effort to take our country back from the deviant.

"Not surprisingly, this is enraging the abnormals of the left, as witnessed, for example, by the weird attempt to suggest that normal people somehow caused the patently abnormal Jared Loughner to open fire on a bunch of normal people.

"If multiculturalism were true, it would mean that all cultures are of equal value.

"But this is equivalent to saying that there is no reality to which culture is an adaptation. As a result, culture devolves to a mere fantasy world. Which, of course, it is for the left. They are, by their own lights, not oriented to reality, since reality is just an oppressive white European male construct. ...."

In order to allow such people to feel normal in their abnormalcy, we have had to develop a deviant culture for them to live in, to such an extent that the normal are now made to feel abnormal.... there is no reality to which culture is an adaptation. As a result, culture devolves to a mere fantasy world. Which, of course, it is for the left. They are, by their own lights, not oriented to reality, since reality is just an oppressive white European male construct.

Meanwhile, the accommodation of deviancy in our culture has the effect of destroying that culture sooner or later....

But the "deviants" are so self-preoccupied that they don't even care. They want to "feel good about themselves," and compel other people to "feel good" about them, too. They'd take down the entire social order to achieve this result.

No wonder our society seems so "insane" these days....
