Building a Marxist flavor of racism makes elites Marxist — and everyone else racist.
“If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention” the bumper stickers on a thousand S
‘UVs in the upscale bedroom communities of dysfunctional cities read. “Deutschland Erwache,” the National Socialists used to shout in the streets of Munich. Woke compresses it all to one word.
Wokeness means believing that politics is all there is to life. And nothing is whiter than that.
James Corden has somehow become embroiled in a food-related race row.
That James Corden – actor, presenter, one of Britain’s worst cultural exports – is still a thing in America may be a bit perplexing for us in the UK. But one thing he clocked early, it seems, is that to get ahead in Hollywood you have to mouth all of the right platitudes.
… But there’s one element in the woke mind-set which has been under-explored, probably because it conjures an image of mundanity rather than mendacity. That element is boredom. The breed of middle-class, middle-aged Englishwoman (and it’s often a woman) who faithfully turn up at pro-‘Palestine’ rallies is searching – desperately, in many cases – for meaning in her life.
Secretary of state Antony Blinken has authorised US embassies to fly the Black Lives Matter and rainbow Pride flags. The immediate spur for this decision is clear. Late May marked the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death and June is Pride month. But to fly flags other than the Stars and Stripes from the buildings that represent the US abroad is still extraordinary. It shows that the Biden administration is committed to exporting its woke values around the globe.
Many conservatives have grown accustomed to doing business with companies that are at least a little “woke.” It’s hard to go about our daily business without running into such companies, which seemingly is most of them these days. Still, there are some of us who refuse to do business with any company that is not at least politically and culturally neutral and we actively seek out companies that are truly patriotic in nature such as MyPillow (promo code “TLD” for those asking).
Canada is a great country, it’s a country worth celebrating.
A statement like that used to be banal and universal. Not too long ago, there was a general consensus not just among the political parties, but prevalent throughout Canadian society, that we lived in a pretty special place.
Evil does not matter to a movement that only cares about itself
It’s Pride month — and so it’s time to make rainbows. Any medium will do: parades, flags, biscuits, sandwiches and, of course, corporate branding. Look at the social media accounts of some of the world’s biggest companies and you’ll see that their graphic designers have been busy adding vibrant colours to normally sober logos.
The desire among so-called progressives to undermine the West, deconstruct its morally justifying narrative and overthrow its institutional order is an impulse that, ironically, takes for granted a more assured Western hegemony
It is customary on the left to dismiss the “culture wars” as a right-wing distraction. Lord Andrew Adonis, a former British Labour minister, asserted this week that the right’s “stoking” of the culture wars was designed to hide the British government’s lack of substance. And in their joint submission to the Times Education Commission, he and former British prime minister Tony Blair claimed that the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill en route through the U.K. Parliament was “a reform in search of a problem since free speech is hardly a key issue on university campuses.”
U.S. District Judge William Griesbach in Milwaukee issued a temporary restraining order Thursday suspending the program for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Michelle Rempel Garner, currently the shadow minister for health, wrote: “I humble myself and ask forgiveness, and seek to make things right. I have privilege; I am cis/straight/white. But I am also a woman who works in a system dominated by white maleness.”
Leftist Kenn Kaufman, who is the author of a number of birding field guides and an artist, is calling for birds that are reportedly named after racists to be renamed in order to further social justice.
A black yoga instructor says that what’s more important to know about the practice than the poses is the racism and cultural appropriation by whites behind it.
In discussing her new book, “Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance,” author and activist Jessamyn Stanley told People Magazine that it is filled with essays that reflect on everything from racism to the cultural appropriation of American yoga, from consumerism to cannabis,” the outlet notes.
According to Professor Frank Lindblad, the current anthem contains references to the time of the Swedish empire and thus celebrates invasion and pillaging.
Professor Frank Lindblad has ruffled many feathers by suggesting that the Swedish national anthem is offensive and outdated, and on National Day at that.
In particular, it is the second verse that prompted ire from Lindblad, a child psychiatrist and professor emeritus, who brought forth his own suggestions for re-writing.
Would the same leniency be shown for right-wing Canadians tearing down what they disagree with? Of course not.
NORMANDY, France, June 6, 1944
In a surprise aggressive move, American and British troops are landing on the beaches in Normandy today. Germany’s Transocean News Service reports that Germans vacationing in the sleepy hamlets of this coastal region were awaked by the ships, planes, guns, and bombs of this sneak attack. A few brave German tourists quickly ran to bunkers and began retuning fire to protect their French brothers and sisters.
