Democrats Are Quietly Admitting That Going ‘Woke’ Was a Very Bad Idea

This experiment has derailed. It’s not similar in any way since Republicans aren’t this crazy concerning political correctness, but there was a dominant wing of the party that simply had to be told to get to the back of the bus around 2016. The neoconservative project derailed post-Iraq War. Americans were not going to keep a GOP majority in Congress over national security fears. They were tired of endless wars. They were not patient over this nation-building nonsense. They saw the bill we paid, what we got, and we’re not pleased.

Calling foods ‘exotic’ is xenophobic, according to WaPo food critic

Which Dungan dish do you like better: ash lan fin or lamian? Chances are you’ve never heard of either, mainly because the items are staples of Dungan cuisine — which I’m betting you’ve also never heard of. After all, how many restaurants in America feature the foods of Chinese Muslims who left their homeland in western China around the turn of twentieth century and settled in neighboring Kazakhstan (aka the Dungan people)?

The ingredients found in Dungan preparations — things like tripe (stomach) and bean jelly might prompt one to describe the cuisine as “exotic.” But to do so, according to Washington Post food critic G. Daniela Galarza, is to show your xenophobia.

Has anyone noticed the LGBT movement is now homophobic?

The late Rush Limbaugh loved to quip (or was it a quip?) that he was on the cutting edge of societal evolution. Far be it from me to ever question the political insights of the great Maha Rushie, but I just don’t know if it is even possible for a human mind, no matter how keenly it is fine-tuned and honed to the machinations of its political opposition, to anticipate the speed and degree to which social movements are changing these days.

For instance, while many of us recognized that the sexual revolution was never going to stop at gay marriage (did it stop at the mainstreaming of pornography, the advent of no-fault divorce, the fetishizing of adultery, the subversion of sodomy laws?), could anyone have predicted that a movement started by gays, for gays, would so quickly turn to be anti-gay?

Wendy Mesley sounds like a gulag prisoner convinced Stalin will come to her rescue

“… The CBC did not offer me any public support. And I did not defend myself because I just wanted to return to work. In the midst of last year’s racial reckoning, I also felt it would have been wrong for me to play the victim card.

But my silence backfired as players on all sides used me as a cudgel to advance political interests. While some journalists offered public support, my most vocal defenders were free-speech warriors who wanted to make me a cautionary tale about the dangers of cancel culture. That distinction horrified me, because I’ve fought to cancel injustice my whole life. I resented being made a poster child of a movement I wasn’t part of.”

Just say no to the Kool-Aid kids – Go incognito

The Olympics are canceled: Like everything else, the games are becoming a woke circus

The Olympic Games in Tokyo are doomed. Before the opening ceremony, before even the torch is lit, it’s not going to be OK. The games, I’m afraid, just aren’t woke enough. Apologies to Tokyo and Japan — and #StopAsianHate and so on. But for the international left, sport no longer matters unless it can be used to win on Twitter and advance the War for Progress.

Woke Revolution, Residential Schools And Trudeau’s War On Christianity

To be forthright, Cultural Action Party of Canada called it from day one. Rather than sunny ways, freshly-minted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would over time bring serious trouble to society. He has done so in myriad ways– worst of all being an unprecedented form of social division.

An outcome of community disharmony is perhaps best exemplified by Justin Trudeau’s agenda of attack upon Christian Canada, in combination with an advancement of 3rd World religious communities.

Woke Law Professor Tells French Their Food Is Racist

That Frenchy is making a white supremacist hand sign!

University of Connecticut Law Professor Mathilde Cohen raised the hackles of quite a few French people last week when she told a bewildered audience at Sciences Po Paris and the University of Nanterre that eating French food is an expression of “White Privilege.”

“I would like to tell you about ‘food Whiteness’ in French culture,” Cohen begins, “By this I mean the use of food to reinforce ‘Whiteness’ as a dominant racial identity.”
