This is what brought me to arms. We are fighting against an ideology that not only wants to tear down this society, but to forever live in a state of revolution. It’s unstable bullshit at its finest and must never be allowed to realize its goals.
Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.

I saw this debate (8 speakers) and thought Konstantin Kisin also did a really good job. Lindsay’s argument that the movement cannot ever go far enough is exactly right and we see this play out by bloated university DEI officers searching for on campus work and, failing to find anything overtly meaningful, filling in the empty hours by demanding replacement terms for such offensive words like ‘field’ and ‘American’. As Kisin pointed out, the supporters are trained to be offended, to be victims, to advance the cause by complaining and tearing stuff down that will supposedly produce social nirvana. The only problem is that this is the Big Lie that is fueled only by belief of the religious kind in the righteousness of the cause no matter how many real victims are produced by it’s imposition. And the truth is right there in historical reality if only people bothered to learn it.

At the end of the day, I think: it all just seems to be a late-stage consumer capitalism buzzword attempt of “sustaining” the UNSUSTAINABLE levels of stupidity the post-modern West needs to “function” (CONSTANTLY TRYING TO COMMODIFY EVERY. SINGLE. THING. into a consumer demographic) because, it believes it exists as an empire within its own realm.
It’s the same dubious way with how the term “intersectionality” has been abused/corrupted; in how every sanctimonious kool-aid nonce latched onto it (as nothing but a: misogynist gaslighting DARVO tactic) to score social credit points in a dumba$$ political cult. It was SUPPOSED to be about incorporating economic and racial discrimination injustice issues into feminism — however: when you, especially as a female, begin to start challenging precisely the things broken with the system you live under; then, suddenly, all the mental case freaks (90% MALE and often lily WHITE) are all told to crawl out of the woodwork in their animé RuPaul costumes and harass you with seeming impunity (expecting you to be some sort of Stepford Wife in 1957 Peoria!). The madness of the cottage industry (and, yes, the way this ideological clown show has sooo smothered nearly EVERY FACET of rational society in such a short time IS *LITERALLY* AN “INDUSTRY”) having sprung this cr@p onto the World: IS completely a deliberate attack on women and racial minorities challenging the truly corrupt economic and military systems the U.S. culture war fears a multipolar nation planet signals some kind of Götterdämmerung for American hegemony. I will never be convinced that, that, isn’t a major part of what’s driving the same-old “religious-level” devotion to it (no matter, obviously, how big an insult it is to peoples’ fundamental reality).
