British journalist and TV personality Piers Morgan in a recent interview with Turning Point UK published on Monday said that he believes liberals have become unbearable, and he said this speaking as a liberal himself.
Populism is rising because liberals have become unbearable, and I speak as a liberal, OK? said the Good Morning Britain co-anchor.
In my core, Im probably more liberal than not, although fundamentally, I see myself as a journalist, he continued, and Id like to see both sides of things, and I can argue both, but liberals have become utterly, pathetically illiberal, and its a massive problem.
Morgan went on to shed light on the hypocrisy of the intolerant far left, saying, Whats the point in calling yourself a liberal if you dont allow anyone else to have a different view?
He added that the snowflake victimhood culture is unbecoming and completely skewed, so much so that there can no longer be any hosts for award shows because people get offended by everything.
No, thanks, Morgan said.

But I've always thought he was somewhat reasonable on other issues though.
Personally, don’t think the Nazi word works. Maybe it’s just me but Nazi has a specific meaning in a time and place in history. And ideologically I’m not sure it applies since they don’t have an Aryan Race agenda either. I don’t think they should use it, nor should we. Just my opinion. But I do totally get your point. Everything about these progressives is fundamentally illiberal. Not crazy about the word fascist either but they are closer to that than to Nazi. Fascism is a political movement advocating heavy handed government interference into the industry, regulations and subsidies, and crushing all forms of dissent.
And just to give you an idea of how fascistic these progressives are, they have gone power mad even attempting to control the definitions of words like fascism, racism, etc. If you look up fascism on the web many websites will tell you it is a “far right” movement. But that is just nonsense. It is a political ideology, right or left has nothing to do with it. But they feel the need to control even the terms of debate. Pretty fascistic if you ask me. And they rant on about “racism” because they don’t like the way someone phrases a sentence (or a sentence fragment) taken out of context - meanwhile their policies are the result of and result in widespread inequity that disproportionately harm minority communities. Their policies and politics are the real “systemic racism” in this country.
Yeah, well he deserves unbearable.
I use the word Nazi, because Nazism is the ultimate expression of Man’s desire to control other Men.
Piers will be unemployed soon. He has no special privilege cards.
I won’t. Hes arguing about how to be liberal, not that it’s wrong.
You are duped, he isn’t. Hes complaining how the liberals are being liberal, not about liberal views themselves. Hes still liberal, hes upset at how libs are being libs because they are turning people off, not that liberalism itself is bad.
Sure, I hope you didn’t think I was jumping on you. There is probably a better word than fascist too. They are the worst kind of control freaks imaginable. They don’t just want to control behavior and the economy but thought, speech, language, definitions and the terms of debate. It is the most self-destructive ideology since the Nazis. And for those in power, I get that they want more power. But I cannot understand all their useful idiots out there. They are suckered by this notion that they don’t want to hurt people’s feelings - which is a good thing - but that’s an impossible goal because you cannot control what other people feel or what they would react to. And when you stifle free expression and free debate you put handcuffs on human potential. It is truly ‘deplorable’.
NO, no, I don’t think that at all, and I appreciate your criticism of my use of the word, because I think what you stated is accurate.
“I use the word Nazi, because Nazism is the ultimate expression of Mans desire to control other Men.”
I posted this above, because that is the reason I view them as Nazis. It is all about control and control freaks. I realize that it is a fairly loose view of Nazism, and it is not historically accurate per se, it’s more or less my own interpretation of the phenomenon.
I do believe that the leftist movement in this country could very easily become a group of people who will kill an awful lot of people in pursuit of their political ideals, and that is if one does not already include the unborn babies that they have killed.
p
I think they got early support from the militant gays, the leather fetishists we might call them today, and I think that culture influenced a lot of their uniform designs. Hitler needed them because they liked to streetfight. After he had power he had them all killed.
I, for one, have asked myself, would Muslim rule be any worse than this?
In fact, why do I fight against it? There’s very little male bashing in the Islamic community.
Hitler was no homo, but he did $crew his niece, producing a daughter called Geli (Angela) who now rules Germany.
ts much worse than that, Piers.
They arent liberals in the traditional sense either.
They are Nazis.
Real Nazis.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
I refer you to a golden prime article, accurately describing the morph history of ‘Liberal” into “Liberal fascism.”
