The bullshitters bullshitting bullshits

I don't know RPK personally, but if you ask me, for many many reasons, I am not his fan even in the slightest bit. I do read his website Malaysia today and that of his colleagues and camaraderies, and I find them largely contradictory in writing with the ideals they so overzealously preach and thump-fisted into the air.

Here is a guy (among the other guys) who claims he's fighting for peace (??) and racial harmony(???) and yet his words and actions have not only wreaked havoc in the country, at times cause total chaos, it has also touched racial sentiments at the core, further divide people, and cause racial tensions to worsen like never before. (see the purple highlighted words? they don't add up do they). In fact, he and his friends have succesfully alienated and instigated everyone against each other, that most people who follow him (and them) have become so racist, up to having intent for murder. If you don't trust me, read their pages (here, here, here, and here among others) and you will realize immediately the mass bigotry they seem to condone from their readers and commentators. People using hate words about other rces, being plain bigots when they are commenting on a person they call racist. Doing the exact thing they're accusing others of doing. Oh, the irony. What racial harmony has been achieved thus far? We're all now more suspicious of each other, and no longer remember tact when discussing anything sensitively-racial in nature. We are no longer courteous.

I see a new generation of cultivated emotional people, who have become selfish and fight not for the good of others but for what they stand to gain, and so narrow minded they refuse to utilize rationality and honesty in judging black as black and white as white. Whatever comes from those they oppose no matter how positive will be viewed negatively, uncompromised. These are the same people who say they fight for the common good, are fighting for fairness and for democratic freedom of openmindedness. I'm not saying this of just one side, sometimes, both sides of the fences fall so easily into this act. We have not all become more open minded mind you, instead, we have all become one-track minded that anything the opposing person says even if he may be right, we refuse to acknowledge it.

How are better now than before? We're so much worse!!!

So the pakatan says they're different from the barisan. But the DAP still fights for the Chinese, the PAS for the Malays, the HINDRAF though not exactly officially pakatan member, has however been identified and identifying themselves with the movement still fights for the Indians and PKR still fights for Anwar Ibrahim? How is that so different from barisan? Isn't that the exact same thing, same racial based politics they accused barisan of promoting?? And none of them seems privy of the fact they throw around racist remarks in the name of freedom of speech without regards to other peoples' sensitivities, pakatan and barisan alike. And why should we illusioned ourselves of the non-existent cleanliness of the pakatan when they have worse money politics among them? if we want to blame barisan, then we should be brave enough to admit, the pakatan is not any cleaner.

don't lie to ourselves. we all fight for what will best benefit us, we dont all really care what happen to others who don't share our aspirations, we're all plain selfish. in reality, we all know, we're not equal to begin with. look around us, how equal are we? don't go very far, just ask yourself? I'm refraining myself from stating the obvious for now, but I know, I happen to be the brunt of so many acts of racism. I'm just too tactful not to trip over the expected lines of courtesy. For now.

truth is, I am not a big fan of barisan either, I do realize barisan has their many blunders. But hey, knowing there's no perfect government in the world, if I had to choose between them i'd go for the lesser evil. and the one with the lesser evil is the one who promotes less racism. (that's barisan to me). or anything without anwar in it is good enough for me.
