The lynch mobs of the new Woke KKK.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that a sign designating a building as the Clarence Thomas Center for Historic Preservation had been removed. The Savannah College of Art and Design has issued no official statement, but the paper cited a petition started by Griffin Hansen, a Bernie Sanders supporter who had once attended the school.
OTTAWA — A host of politicians, former and current Radio-Canada employees and journalism advocates are calling on the public broadcaster to fight back against a new CRTC ruling criticizing a radio segment that featured the “n word” four times.
In a radio segment on Aug. 17, 2020, Radio-Canada commentator Simon Jodoin and host Annie Desrochers spoke about a new petition calling for the firing of a Concordia University professor who created discomfort in class by reciting the title of a well-known political book by Quebecois author Pierre Vallières, “N—–s blancs d’Amérique” (White niggers of America).
A woke Universal Music Group worker claims he was fired for “speaking up” about abortion rights — after he admitted he refused to work because he was in “mourning” over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Michael Lopez, a production coordinator at Universal Music Enterprises, blasted the company as “anti-gay” for terminating a “queer brown person” during Pride Month for “speaking up in defense of abortion rights,” according to a lengthy note on LinkedIn that went viral last week.
A woke news reporter working for The Guardian’s US website has been condemned after she took to Twitter to declare that people who question trans ideology are fascists.
‘I think that we’re entering a period when the most meaningful political distinction will be fascist and anti-fascist. It’s really important to understand that transphobia is one of the most potent entry points to fascism today – and act accordingly,’ tweeted Julia Carrie Wong on Sunday.
This is why I love the fascists at the Guardian.
Legacy institutions have lost the campus wars
What is the point of university? It used to be, when Harvard was founded in 1636, “to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity”. But in recent years the university has taken on an altogether narrower character. Learning is no longer enough. Activism is demanded. Yale and Harvard have come to resemble the mythical Ouroboros, eating their own tails to satisfy an insatiable appetite for conformity.
Attacks on free speech are on the rise. A British college recently expelled a student for expressing support for the government’s official policy of deporting illegal immigrants. A Wisconsin school district charged three middle-schoolers with sexual harassment last month for refusing to use the plural pronoun “they” when referring to a single classmate. US President Joe Biden’s National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy recently encouraged social media companies to censor from their online platforms any opinions that contradict Biden’s climate change narrative.
Competitive Scrabble players have accused games company Mattel of virtue signalling after banning a host of terms from the official score list.
More than 400 terms were banned in a bid to make the game more inclusive.
The ban targets slurs on race, sexuality and gender, making them no longer acceptable in the game’s official scoring dictionary.
The CRTC recognized the word was not used in a discriminatory manner but found Radio-Canada failed to show ‘sufficient respect and sensitivity’ to impacted communities
Madness.
In his dystopian novel “1984,” social visionary George Orwell coined the term “Wordspeak.” Under the leadership of PM Justin Trudeau, its application is a reality in Canadian society. Indeed, the Liberals have become fixated on such terminology. Border-jumpers are not “illegal,” they are “irregular.” It is not a carbon tax, put rather a “price on pollution.”
Now, the Trudeau government establish punitive measures for those using common-place language that has been a part of western culture for a thousand years. Quite the move for a former snow-board instructor turned pseudo-dictator.
“As we might expect, the Woke, often well educated and articulate, have generated their own convoluted and comprehensive ‘theology’ replete with saints and sinners, priests and heretics, and even their own kind of Heaven and Hell.”
In a few short years something amazing has occurred. Since the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, a whole systematic set of ideas has swept through society and, most dramatically, through virtually all institutions—both public and private. This phenomenon did not appear out of nowhere but represents a kind of blossoming of ideas and systems already in place. The broad generic term for those most caught up in this movement is Woke.
While the country is mired in the worst inflation crisis in 40 years, legislators are looking to enshrine woke politics in the Federal Reserve.
Lawns are an outdated cultural norm. Let’s lose them — before we lose the pollinators
In Canada, there are about 6.2 million lawns. If one of those is yours, count yourself part of a long history rooted in wealth and status. But what once stood as a symbol of being rich enough to hold land and not farm it is today an outdated cultural norm — one that’s doing a disservice to us and the species that support us.
In 17th-century England, only affluent landowners could afford a turf grass monoculture, maintained by animals at first, and then increasingly by poorly paid workers. Lawns were meant to differentiate the aristocrats from the farmers and became one of the first signs of society’s mass acceptance of waste. After all, the land was just being held for display.
Why the Left is the worst enemy of every demographic it claims to support.
The delusional sociopaths who identify as progressives are, as usual, just the opposite of what they claim. Everything they are forcing on society today – without our consent, like rapists – has been done before. If they were honest, they would identify as primitive, regressive extremists – even terrorists, for so many people live in abject terror of raising a peep of objection, and for good reason.
Joe Lycett standup joke investigated by police after complaint
The comedian Joe Lycett has said he was investigated by the police after an audience member made a complaint about a joke in one of his shows.
In a post on Instagram, he revealed that he was asked to explain the context of the gag and that the authorities have now closed the case.
The Canadian flag is now offensive to some of the powers that be in Ontario’s education system. Last week, a school principal sent home a letter warning parents that their child was about to be offered a free Canadian flag and if they didn’t want to receive one, they should send the attached form back.
Parents of grade one students at an Ontario public school warned in writing that their child will receive a Canadian flag from a local Lion's Club, offered chance to opt out, and invited to share their "concerns" pic.twitter.com/IcPLmcXqeO
