The San Diego Comic Con took some heat this week for slapping a woke label on a panel featuring Filipino “Voices In Pop Culture”: Filipinx.
Much like the often-criticized term Latinx — which has been widely panned by members of the very community it is used to describe — the convention’s social media team’s use of the term Filipinx appeared to be an attempt to be gender-inclusive.
The U.S. military is facing a recruiting nightmare and Republican lawmakers place the blame on the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandates and radical sex and gender policies. Click here to join Todd’s private Facebook page for conservatives.
Every branch of the U.S. military is struggling to meet its fiscal year 2022 recruiting goals, multiple U.S. military and defense officials told NBC News.
Gender activists want scientists to stop categorising ancient human remains as either male or female – because they cannot be sure how the deceased identified themselves when they were alive.
Woke warriors have also insisted that archaeologists no longer categorise the race of remains as this ‘contributes to white supremacy’.
Critics said last night that such demands would lead to a rewriting of history and imposing current ideology ‘where it doesn’t belong’.
These days, wokeness is a better means to promotion than performance in combat.
The U.S. Army War College’s newest acronym is DEI: diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Spring 2022 issue of Parameters, the flagship journal of the War College, features an article by Lt. Col. Danielle Holt (a surgeon and a graduate of the War College) and Col. Susan Davis (a physical therapist and also a graduate of the War College) on the topic “Interrupting Bias in Army Talent Management.” The article is included in a section of the journal under the heading “Highlighting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” The once famed U.S. Army War College has gone woke.
WOKE university bosses have banned students from using the words brother and sister — and even mum and dad.
Husband and wife are also discouraged so as not to offend anyone, with partner being the preferred term instead.
Ballet has been dropped from auditions at leading dance schools as staff say it is rooted in “white European ideas”.
The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD), which aims to be a “progressive institution”, has reviewed the “elitist” art form as part of a diversity drive that has seen the introduction of new policies relating to gender and race.
Ballet has been ditched as a requirement for school-entry auditions because of its “contentious nature”, with teaching staff explaining that the traditional mode of dance comes with the baggage of “white European ideas”.
The Washington Post censored a headline by liberal political commentator Fareed Zakaria who was ripped apart by leftists on Twitter after he advised Democrats to “forget pronouns” to avoid being wiped out in the midterm elections.
On Thursday, The Washington Post ran with Zakaria’s headline, “Forget Pronouns: Democrats need to become the party of building things.” He shared the opinion piece link on Twitter, stating that getting “stuff done” is “a lot more important to most Americans than using the right pronouns.”
A University of Washington computer science professor claims his First Amendment rights have been violated after he was punished for his dissenting view on historic claims Native Americans have to the campus land, according to a lawsuit filed in Seattle federal court.
Stuart Reges, 63, who teaches an introductory course to computer programing, broke ranks with the university administration’s ‘indigenous land acknowledgment statement,’ which holds that the Coastal Salish people, a native tribe, have historic claims to campus land.
In Reges’s syllabus for his course, he wrote, ‘I acknowledge that by the labor theory of property the Coast Salish people can claim historical ownership of almost none of the land currently occupied by the University of Washington.’
In a head-spinning example of corporate confusion, inconsistency and hypocrisy, CBC-Radio Canada is defending its use of the ’N-word’ four times on air, after it effectively ended prominent CBC journalist Wendy Mesley’s career for using it twice off air.
“Who controls the past controls the future,” writes George Orwell in 1984. “Who controls the present controls the past.” Were he with us today, Orwell would be getting tired of being right all the time, but he has just been proven right again: Thomas Jefferson’s famed mansion Monticello has been turned into a fount of woke propaganda that denigrates Jefferson and treats unsuspecting visitors to an over-the-top orgy of victimhood and white guilt regarding slavery. The Left hates America and wants very much for you to hate it, too.
Military recruitment in the United States is way down at the same time as the Biden Administration is driving out so-called “White supremacists” (anybody who voted for Trump or believes in the Constitution), those opposed to taking the COVID vaccine due to religious or health concerns or natural immunity, and people who refuse to use the preferred pronouns of gender activists. The result of all this is a neutered and divided military increasingly unable to fight and win wars.
The ultra-progressive mindset maintains its grip on institutional power, but in terms of what people actually believe, it’s on the downswing.
About a decade ago, something began building steam in America’s elite cultural and intellectual institutions—universities, national newspapers and magazines, museum boards, award committees. Callout culture, cancel culture, identity politics, social justice, critical race theory, postmodern neo-Marxism, wokeness: whatever you want to call it, it was happening. Wokeness developed new and previously extreme ideas around race and gender, and especially around how people ought to conduct themselves in their everyday interactions when race and gender were considered (and race and gender were always to be considered).
America’s Great Awokening produced cottage industries and small fortunes.
I’ve been called the most vile, hateful things, accused of inciting violence and spreading hate myself, all for sharing videos freely posted to TikTok by progressive leftists who are proud of their words and actions.
It’s a simple concept: Use their own words and actions to expose them. It works because this is the first time these people, who are living out their fantasies in their intolerant, liberal bubbles, have had to face reality. Under the account Libs of TikTok, I just repost what they’ve already posted themselves. It’s like holding up a mirror. And it infuriates them.
Mina’s World, a cafe in Philadelphia that prided itself in being “Queer-owned,” has officially closed its doors after a woke employee revolt. The cafe was owned by Kate Egghart and Sonam Parikh, two queer activists who started Mina’s in an effort to create an inclusive coffee shop. However, their employees have claimed Egghart and Parikh are anti-black and “gentrifiers.” Gentrifier is a woke term used to describe those who purposely contribute to the displacement of low-income families. Mina’s World was located just around the corner from Malcolm X Park in Philadelphia and employed mostly minority workers.
