In case you haven't noticed, there's a new politically correct curseword, used by liberals and wokesters to condemn anything that they don't like or that runs contrary to their agenda. The word is "unacceptable".
"Unacceptable views", is it? "Unacceptable views?" I could see actions being unacceptable -- farting in church, for example. But views? You mean we're not allowed to think for ourselves any more? "Unacceptable" by whose standards? Are we talking about political correctness here, the sort of thing John Cleese decried in the interview posted here yesterday?
Ever since (perhaps just because I've been listening for it), I've noticed that increasing frequency with which politicians and the lickspittle media use the U-word -- Unacceptable -- to describe any thing, person, action or thought which they don't like.
The latest example to come to my attention was the reaction of the mayor of Cincinnati OH, to the latest manifestation of the Summer of Rage, which occurred early today. At least nine people were wounded -- none critically -- in a shooting outside the Mr. Pitiful bar, in the Ohio city’s Over-the-Rhine district, a popular nightlife area.
Another shooting in the neighbouring Central Business District left two wounded, but Inspector Gadget of the Cincinnati PD said it was unclear whether the two shootings were related. Mayor Aftab Karma Singh Pureval [Really, that's his name. Ed.] called the gunfire not just "unacceptable" but "completely and totally unacceptable."
So there. I fully expect that the hoodlums [Note that Walt didn't use any unacceptable nouns. Ed.] guilty of that kind of anti-social behaviour will cease and desist forthwith, now that they know it's "unacceptable". Selah.
