We have been bombarded, since childhood, with the truism that it is important to open dialogue with those with whom we disagree. We have been pressed – we are still pressed – by the news media, workplaces and academia to have conversations with “the other side”, with the promise that open and honest dialogue is the means to come about peace and change.If this was ever true before, it is a lie now.Those rebranding themselves as “Western chauvinists” shouting “West pride!” under the flag of a tradition that once held Man to be the rational animal, now believe in lizard people. Those who hold tight to their belief in the superiority of Western civilisation as proven by its “values” and traditions of Athenian (slaveowners’) democracy are caught on camera breaching voting machines.
