Legitimate Discrimination

The horrifying "do-gooder" thought has turned the term "discrimination" into a "Bad" word. The one who discriminates is considered a despicable being with the clear result of an ethical and intellectual flattening downwards.

I want to point out that discriminating is not only legitimate but necessary.

When I have to choose a collaborator for a job, I discriminate. I can discriminate on the basis of sex because I think, perhaps mistakenly, that it is a job more for a woman than a man or vice versa. Maybe I'm looking for a model for a clothing line and discriminate based on physical appearance. I can even go so far as to discriminate on the basis of intellectual abilities. Yes I know, I'm a monster! If I have free time to devote to socialization, I discriminate whom to go out with. If I can choose neighbours, I discriminate based on shared culture and values. I can discriminate even on the basis of the language because maybe with these neighbours I would also like to talk and maybe crack ironic jokes that people who share the same culture can understand.

Does this make me a racist monster? Obviously everyone can judge as they prefer but I would like to point out that I have no presumption of "better" or "worse" but I would like to safeguard my rights and that of others not yet totally numbed, to have the freedom to choose who to be with, who to surround myself with and how to communicate.

I know it's crazy but think, my dear reader, that I have even heard of a Country that claims to be democratic and libertarian where people are no longer free to even discriminate on the medicinal treatments to undergo. Isn't it unbelievable ??!! A large part of the population has been pushed, using sinister and ridiculous moralistic excuses (you have to do it for the frailer 😊) and blackmail (you'll lose your job) to inoculate an experimental antidote and then in the summer there's a boom of fevers and myocarditis . Perhaps they have gone too far, I can hardly believe it.
