I am, on principle, against any and all “awareness weeks” ... pretty much for the same reason I am generally against all street protests, organized boycotts, sit-ins, die-ins, or “walking/biking/running across the county/city/state/country” for any random cause (for instance, walking across Texas to end homelessness).

They’re all obnoxious tactics used by wacko hippy-types, and I don’t really like them - and, generally, they’re not particularly helpful to the cause anyway.

“Awareness” campaigns always struck me as snide and condescending ... they’re basically a statement that “if everyone in the country was only as AWARE as I am, they’d certainly agree with me”. Liberals always blame the lack of support for their obnoxious causes on the lack of awareness, lack of education, or lack of “consciousness raising”.

Thus, they endlessly stage awareness campaigns, “consciousness-raising” events, and demand further “organizing”. Endlessly stupid.

I don’t like awareness weeks ... they’re useless, and not a tactic that the right should adopt.

Thanks for your input. I guess if you were the decision maker, no one would speak out against Islam.

Dhimmitude may become you, but it doesn’t become me.
