‘Canadian liberals are generally satisfied with the [‘human rights’ system]…’

writes Mark Steyn:

…because they assume it’s just rightwing haters like me and Levant who get clobbered.

But in fact most of the victims are fellows like Guy Earle – they hold all the correct views on the Iraq war, gay marriage and everything else, but they get destroyed anyway. All tyranny is whimsical, and, with the state ever more aggressive in its role as the only legitimate mediator between identity groups, its whimsicality will inevitably fall on those just trying to keep their heads down and get on with life without catching the commissar’s eye.
