In a philosophy unit I'm currently studying we've been looking at the various types of fallacious arguments, which made this article leap out at me. The author normally appears as reasonable as the next commentator at the Conversation, so I'm at a loss to explain why he's willing to stand behind such a hatchet job.

I too lie awake at nights wondering if the next generation is sufficiently work-ready. I see happy, young, smiling faces and wonder how on earth an employer is going to make a buck off them. It's a crying shame that we have so many independent minds, and so few crushed spirits. It is indeed cruel and senseless to have young people labour under the delusion that their lives are intrinsically valuable.

I don't think this goes far enough. Now that the Great War has been totally decontextualised, I propose that we also publicly shame all the descendants of conscientious objectors, and force them to wear a white feather in public. They must be made to pay for their ancestors' disloyalty in the face of the terrible threat to Australia's territorial sovereignty that the Ottoman Empire then posed, and that for all we know (in our proud, patriotic ignorance) still hangs over us.

#DLW has spoken. Last Week Tonight is too upsetting. I shall watch it alone while she watches more soothing competitive cooking/weight loss/home renovation programs where people are pushed to emotional breakdown for no good reason. http://ur1.ca/hwbmp #TV
