Quote of the day

Previously, we allowed diversity; now we celebrate it, affirming that all beliefs are equally valid.
In doing so, we lose our former understanding of the distinction between rights and truths, i.e. that the right to believe something does not make it true.
We denounce “exclusionists” who disagree with this revised definition of diversity, labelling them judgmental and intolerant, and take steps toward (ironically) excluding them from public discourse.
As a result, the jaded intelligentsia, perceiving that if everything is true, then nothing is true, reject all beliefs. Hence, they cross what philosopher Francis Schaeffer called “the line of despair.”
For life without truth is not freedom. It is despair.

That is violence.
