Attempting to rationally deal with the irrational is always difficult. When your mate declares himself to be Napoleon do you snap off a salute or tell him he’s off his rocker?
The full measure of irrational virtue signalling, self-loathing, anti-patriotism and passive aggression might be all the people – Muslims, non-Muslims, politicians, media figures and the intellectually vacant but vain masses – who call face covering a ‘human right’.
Yes, you read that correctly. A practice that is the embodiment of oppression and subjugation i.e. a unalloyed violation of human rights (usually under threat of violence or financial/familial abandonment) is now declared to be the opposite, and those SUPPORTING actual human rights i.e. women’s freedom in all things including dress, are declared to be oppressors.
