Cancel Culture as a Religion

What with Good Liberals like Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan getting disfellowshipped from the Church of Big Media over the last week, it gives me an excuse to descant on the whole question of the religion of the Church of Woke America.

Even the wokies at La Wik admit the concept of the Duck test.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck and burns witches like a duck, it is a duck.

What do religions do? They have a belief system. They have an orthodoxy, and if you don’t conform to the orthodoxy you are a heretic.

Here in Seattle Spiked reports that the “Office of Civil Rights has come up with a ‘race and social justice’ curriculum which the city government’s 10,000 employees must undertake.”

Staff are expected to go through various humiliating exercises, including ‘processing white feelings’ of ‘sadness’, ‘shame’ and ‘confusion’ (don’t black people ever feel those emotions?), considering their ‘relationships with white supremacy’, describing their own ‘white silence’ and ‘white fragility’, and noting the supposedly internalised white values of racism, among them ‘objectivity’, ‘perfectionism’ and ‘comfort’ (also unique to whites according to woke types -- and therefore bad).

Imagine if a Republican governor ordered blacks to go through this humiliation during the Obama regime.

What exactly do you think Holder, Lynch, and Obama would have done. Nothing? Taken it lying down.

Hell no! They would have indicted every single person involved with violating Federal Civil Rights statutes.

They would have held a press conference, announcing this travesty, and promising retribution upon those who have violated the civil rights of other citizens.

You know this is the case.

So where is Trump? Where is Barr?

Where is our protection? Where is our justice?
