Wokeness Goes Global

Not one of America's best exports.

The cancel culture war continues in Western countries in politics, in academia, and in commerce. In England, Oxfam, the nonprofit confederation of a number of charitable organizations, founded in 1942, focusing on aid to overcome global poverty, has introduced a survey of its 1,860 staff, most of whom are white, asking how they considered themselves — non-racist, anti-racist, or neither. The implication is that non-racism is not sufficient; one has to be anti-racist. The survey states, "Racism is a power construct created by white nations for the benefit of white people. This power construct has been based on viewing white people as superior."

This left-wing notion of whiteness is demonstrated elsewhere. In July 2021, the bronze sculptures in Winnipeg, Manitoba of Queen Elizabeth II, head of state, and her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, 1837-1901, were hauled down and daubed with red paint. Anger had been increasing as the result of recent discoveries of about 750 unmarked graves of indigenous children at resident schools. The incident took place on July 1, 2021, Canada Day, the annual celebration that marks the founding of the country by British colonies in 1867.

For the protesters, who wore orange clothing, the symbol of resistance, the royal figures are the faces of colonialism. For good measure, elsewhere in the country, a statue of Captain Cook, explorer and navigator, the first Briton to land in British Columbia, was taken down and thrown into the harbor in Victoria. In its place, protesters erected a wooden red dress, a symbol representing murdered and missing indigenous women.

Marx was insane and his insanity is spreading long after his death.

I am not necessarily sure if wokeness is an American export. It seems to be a globalist construct. By definition, globalists are not nationalists. They do not identify as Americans or citizens/subjects of any other nation. Wokeness is being pushed by global corporatists. It is a tool of modern fascism.

Correct--the US is just one of their victims with the stolen 2020 election.

The people of the world do need to unite--against these power-mad perverts.

Many Freepers are still living in the old "national security" template world--it is obsolete.

The map is not the territory any more...we can't win until we figure out who the real enemy is.
