People like Ms. Thobani are clearly infuriated by the West’s freedoms and, while it is tempting to suggest theories as to why this is so, I believe it is an issue that is best dealt with by professional psychiatrists.

I have on occasion been present when people of similar opinions were giving the usual leftist condemnation of everything Western and some people in the audience were laughing and giggling the entire time. It did not seem to me that they were laughing at the lecturer as expressing the fact that they were getting a walloping charge out of the lecturer’s condemnations of the US, the West, freedom, you name it. Expressing extreme opinions like this and listening to them seems to be the leftist version of having a good time.
