‘Freedom’ now deemed a white supremacist notion
American Thinker ^ | 21 Feb, 2022 | Eric Utter

It has come to this. As George Orwell knew it could. Freedom is fascist. Freedom is slavery.

Taylor Dysart, a doctoral candidate at Penn, authored a column in which she claimed that the Canadian truckers’ Freedom Convoy “has surprised onlookers in the United States and Canada,” in large part “because the action seems to violate norms of Canadian ‘politeness.’“ She then opined, “But the convoy represents the extension of a strain of Canadian history that has long masked itself behind ‘peacefulness’ or ‘unity’: settler colonialism.” Huh?

Sadly, she wasn’t done. She stated, “The history of Canadian settler colonialism and public health demonstrates how both overt white-supremacist claims and seemingly more inert nationalistic claims about ‘unity’ and ‘freedom’ both enable and erase ongoing harm to marginalized communities.” Huh?

She added, “The primarily White supporters of the Freedom Convoy argue that pandemic mandates infringe upon their constitutional rights to freedom. The notion of ‘freedom’ was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness, as historian Tyler Stovall has argued. The belief that one’s entitlement to freedom is a key component of White supremacy. This explains why the Freedom Convoy members see themselves as entitled to freedom, no matter the public health consequences to those around them.”

Yes, how dare the Freedom Convoy members think they are “entitled” to freedom! It’s not like they have inalienable rights granted by their Creator or something! They only have the rights that the government says they have…or don’t have! Period. Leftists somehow believe they are entitled to determine what freedom other people have. Revolting assumed privilege.

Racist accusations are systemically Marxist.

So Kamala Harris was a white supremacist as a little girl when she cried “Fweedom!” at a civil rights march?

Leftist word salad designed to get another useless degree and pick scabs and “Rub raw the sores of social discontent.”

To the racial accusers enough can never be done to atone for slavery. Just everlasting finger pointing and hatred and endless racial grievance and stress sessions.

If the the atheists on the left have no concept of reconciliation or forgiveness or finality what does that leave??

Giving undeserved publicity to a pasty-face, low-IQ sow at a university just encourages the sow to oink louder.

Indeed it’s why they use it so much woke masses confused.

All non party members are racist motto on door.
