So it's new, and that means it's inappropriate? Not a sign that some people, not all of course, are able to differentiate?

I second Letum's response. I second it most decidedly.
Dear old McCarthy would be proud of Pat. And I am deeply concerned.
Why?
Because I think that he does a very nasty thing. He redefines one of the most crucial achievements of Western civilization and society as one of its greatest vices. It is the ability of self criticism, which Mr Condell redefines as self hatred.
His is the process of mentally outlawing a whole religion.
I do not know how the society looks like Mr Condell is conceiving of. But I
do know that I would not want to live in it.
