Multiculturalism According to Bauman | Clarissa's Blog

Multiculturalism According to Bauman | Clarissa's Blog


This is moral hair shirt "progessivism". It's a very strong narrative in Western culture, that the more we punish ourselves, the more we are improving. Actually, as Nietzsche showed those progressives would have their psychology back to front -- rather, the more we punish ourselves, the more we morally criticize and condemn. If we were to stop hurting ourselves and enjoy ourselves a bit more, we would certainly become more tolerant of others too, and allow them more scope to be themselves.
