It was time to quit the holy rage

This time it happened on Saturday evening. Someone with screen time said something insulting, harsh, outrageous and the other scornful words, and in the right-wing state a riot. The drums of battle echoed, chirps were honed, practiced shocks were practiced, and victims' feelings and persecution were offered to many on their way to war.

The casus without causing the current incendiary was (another) ejection from the "Meet the Press" filmmaker, Rina Matzlih, who claimed in the broadcast "Netanyahu's supporters are interviewed and say 'even if he rapes my daughter I will vote for him'". This is obviously a silly argument based on rumor, but it is irrelevant. Today is a successful Rina, yesterday it was Ilan Lukacz and Razi Barkai, who yesterday encouraged Ben Ari and Amnon Abramovich and tomorrow it will be someone else who will be accused of the horrible sin of uttering insulting words from his mouth. The names and sayings change, and only the holy and unnecessary rage remains. It's time to wean him off.

Instead of pointing a triple finger or better - ignore - the right chooses to go into a petty tantrum when two or three quotes are emitted from the screen. Like a snowflake, we melt away from an unsuccessful expression and gather in a shocked, shocked posture. The option to channel channel has been deleted, the thought that sometimes the agenda is allowed to fade from the world.

But worst of all is the automatic run underneath the commissar's apron close to the offended right-hand TV screen, hoping to save and punish the daemon, whose stale sentences are dangerous as knives. The number of right-wing complaints to the Second Authority following "offensive" statements has increased by tens of percent in recent years, reaching thousands. In the current scandal surrounding Rina Matzalah, the right-wing ruling party has stepped up and urged officials to take "oversight and enforcement measures" against the filing. In a particularly childish letter, Likud's lawyer made it clear that successful speeches have for a long time been "seriously hurting the feelings of Likud voters" and even noted that it is "a violation of democracy values." Instead of proving successful and silent, right-wingers are offended like preschoolers. Instead of working hard and promoting free communication, government officials are begging to exert their power over private media.

It is worth noting that this is a right invention. The method of professional insult and serial departure from proportions conceived and perfected to the level of left-wing art. The goal is to regime the language, to make every person a victim, to debunk the debate, to turn a random person's idiocy into a racist, fascist, homophobic or hateful trend. The adoption of this method is not only foolish and grotesque, but also in no way related to the right-wing concept of freedom. Instead of airing reality and introducing some rays of sunlight to the degenerate media institutions, the insulted right in the name of emotion helps hide what is really going through their heads and hides under the makeup of our brave writers. The result will be a herd of castrated and frightened news robots from any real discussion of material and explosive issues.

In a week, a month or a year it will happen again. Someone will say something very insulting on the radio, television or one of the newspapers. Perhaps it is worth remembering that there is nothing to be upset about, that there is no need for government censors, that we are not made of sugar and do not collapse from a few words. So she said.
