The Tyranny Of Equity – The Totalitarianism Of Wokeness

     With the Biden/Harris administration going full throttle on day one, the major theme of his policy (aside from Gaia-worshiping nonsense) is a push for “equity”. Many people are only now beginning to notice the use of “equity” and not “equality” and still yet do not fathom just how truly insidious and evil this concept is. In contrast, this blog has almost since its inception been raising the alarm of just what “equity” entails and how nocuous it is to the entire body politic despite its anodyne sounding name. The concept of “equity” has been around for a while and its implementation has been growing at an accelerated pace.

     “Equality” is now oppressive and racist (or sexist or whatever intersectional boogieman is needed at the time) because it is posited that because it is assumed that all of society was created with systemic oppression from systems of oppression created to oppressively oppress oppressingly the oppressed oppressed in order to give unearned privilege and power to the oppressively oppressive oppressors who are oppressing oppressingly. This is justified through Critical Race Theory (and other intersectional applications of Critical Theory) which presumes what it purportedly is set to prove by “uncovering” systems of oppression that are taken to exist as an article of a woke secular faith and then using those woke takes as proof of what it assumes—a paragon of circular logic.   Because of this systemic oppression, equal opportunity is not actual equal opportunity because the invisible and mysterious malevolent miasma of magical mendacious malfeasance gives unearned privilege and power to people who are White (or whatever other intersectional aspect of “Kyriarchy”) which not only always exists but is considered so overwhelming that the “justice” can only be achieved by perpetual discrimination on the basis of race (or other instersectional aspect) just to approach true equality. This is far worse than mere “equality of outcome” because the concept off “systemic privilege” means that even with an equal outcome, those with privilege still contribute a greater import to society due to this “unearned privilege” and thus must be targeted for the lesser end of unequal outcome to balance out this “privilege” that is taken as an ever present evil. This “justice” then requires that some be “more equal than others”.

     This is not to say that all of this evil ideology are so gracious as to presume that a woke boot forever stomping on the face of the privileged is necessary, since immanentizing the woke eschaton and the beginning of a new “year zero” with a final solution is always a potential goal.

     This is why the Biden/Harris administration declaration of woke war ought to terrify you.

     Biden has reversed the previous administration’s ban on teaching Critical Race Theory in the guise of “diversity and sensitivity training”, in order to bring back the racial discrimination and harassment that declares that some people are morally inferior because of their race and guilty of oppression just for existing and having the jobs they do. It is a legitimate question of just how much Biden understands about “equity” and Critical Race Theory, and if he’s in on the disengenuousness of “diversity and sensitivity training” or if he’s just an oblivious, abet useful, tool of the hard Left.

     The Biden/Harris administration is poised to reverse the previous administration’s repeal of the insidious Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) scheme.   Susan Rice has been appointed to, in effect, drive racial politics deep into the Federal bureaucracy. John Kerry has been appointed a climate “Czar” to impose a more equitable “Great Reset” in conjunction with “Green” totalitarianism. A “bioethics and social inequality specialist” has been appointed to help impose “equity” ideology on the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The later is just an acceleration of the increased forcing of science and technology through a “Critical Theory” lens.

The Digital Gatekeepers And The Quandary Of Online Speech

     Your humble author, who posts to Reddit many insightful, informative, and otherwise interesting articles seen the News of the Week, was given a rule violation for “Promoting Hate” against “marginalized or vulnerable groups of people”.

     And just what was this horrendous hate that Reddit found to be beyond the pale? It was an article by Walt Heyer, a former “trans-woman” who “de-transitioned”, who warns of the dishonesty from the advocates of transgendering children and singles out the Marxist derived framework of the transgender movement.

     That’s it. The very idea that someone who went through a transgener phase wanting to spare others from the same fate is “hate” so degrades the meaning of the word that the accusation ends up meaning nothing more than “I disagree with you”. There was no promotion of any “hate” not one iota of marginalization or incitement of violence or hate against people who are transgender, but simply a strong criticism of an ideology.

     This isn’t the first time your humble author has faced a warning, or even suspension, for absolutely ridiculous reason which seem nothing more than a pretext for harassment and silencing that at best is arbitrary and capricious and at worst intentional targeting of expressions of thoughtcrime.

     But this sudden expulsion of any criticism or disagreement with transgender ideology by the digital gatekeepers of online speech is not limited to Reddit. It would seem that many of the dominant propitiatory social media platforms, such as Facebook, are all suddenly marching in lockstep—either by outright oligarchic agreement or by silent and mutual assent to an intellectual conformity.

     The major reason why these Left-wing social media platforms have so much power is because people gave them that power. Hosting videos, developing a websites, and the cost of streaming have made the “free” social media platforms so attractive that people have become dependent on them… and then complain about the consequences of that dependency. And this isn’t just about the “normies” or “casuals” either: How many people make a living off of YouTube videos, or otherwise use the “free” services to connect with other people, don’t even have their own webpage that they can control free from the social media platforms, even if that websites just lists contact info and links to alternate platforms?

     There are alternatives to the major social media overlords but these alternatives do not serve as replacements for the major social media platforms because they do not have a wide enough usage that “casuals” and “normies” automatically use them. People who eschew the major social media platforms end up self-ghettoizing, which actually helps the Left increase their dominance and control of the gateways of speech that the vast majority of people use.

Quick Takes – Genderbending: Sexless Birth Certificates; Transgender Brainwashing; Supreme Court

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Denying reality.

     First, a little mood music:

     Carrying on…

     It’s easier to ignore those pesky differences between the sexes when you ignore that biological sex is a defining thing, or really a thing at all…

“The New England Journal of Medicine continues its hard swing to the woke left. Now, it has published an advocacy article that would remove sex designation as an identifiable factor on birth certificates. From, ‘Failed Assignments: Rethinking Sex Designations on Birth Certificates’:

“‘Assigning sex at birth also doesn’t capture the diversity of people’s experiences. About 6 in 1000 people identify as transgender, meaning that their gender identity doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. Others are nonbinary, meaning they don’t exclusively identify as a man or a woman, or gender nonconforming, meaning their behavior or appearance doesn’t align with social expectations for their assigned sex.’”

The Anti-Aryan Guard

     In Nazi Germany, the Schutzstaffel (i.e. the ᛋᛋ), required proof of being sufficiently Aryan, with all others to be excluded. In their hypocritical quest for “anti-racism”, multiple city council members in Seattle are pushing for laying off officers based on their race, and in a way create policy-wise the mirror-opposite of the ᛋᛋ. Seattle Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez, for example, believes that White officers haven’t “behaves as good partners” and that such “discrimination for a good cause” is not only acceptable, but desirable as well.

“The Seattle City Council will renew its push to fire white officers within the Seattle Police Department.

“The move comes after a nearly 20% cut to the budget and a loss of nearly 200 officers from the department. The SPD has the lowest deployable rate of officers since 1990, as the city experiences a surge in violent crime, including a 26-year-high murder rate.”

Another city council member, Lisa Herbold, believes that racial discrimination is allowable when it “is in the interest of efficient operations”.

     This, of course, is not only illegal, but opposed by the Black chief of police:

“It is illegal to make layoffs based on race and so I’m not sure where she is getting her legal advice from but the persons who are advising us are making sure we understand that it’s illegal to do that.”

Multiracial Whiteness

     “Whiteness” is posited as the underlying evil of American, and Western, society because it creates a “system of oppression” that “privileges” White people by oppressing non-White people. And what better example of that, according to a Washington Post op-ed, than “multiracial whiteness”!

“Trump, by contrast, knows nothing of the history of Latinos in the United States and rarely even pretends to find value in Latinos’ distinct identities. Rather than offering his non-White voters recognition, Trump has offered them multiracial whiteness.”

     This so-called “multicultural whiteness” seems to value people as individuals, and offers a lack of racial discrimination by making race an irrelevancy. The typical rejoinder is that by ignoring race we are blinded to how a society is some big insidious plot to oppress some people due to their by… not treating them differently due to their race.

This is what White supremacy looks like according to the Left.

“Rooted in America’s ugly history of white supremacy, indigenous dispossession and anti-blackness, multiracial whiteness is an ideology invested in the unequal distribution of land, wealth, power and privilege — a form of hierarchy in which the standing of one section of the population is premised on the debasement of others. Multiracial whiteness reflects an understanding of whiteness as a political color and not simply a racial identity — a discriminatory worldview in which feelings of freedom and belonging are produced through the persecution and dehumanization of others.”

     Yet not having racial supremacy, dispossession, or anti-whateverness is somehow creating racial heirarchies?

Looking Back Upon The Life Of Margaret Thatcher

     It has been nearly eight years since we lost Margaret Thatcher, AKA the “Iron Lady”, who aptly demonstrate one could have grace, poise, and charm, and still more balls than most male politicians put together (those balls being the balls of James Callaghan, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, and a plethora of Argentine generals).

     Peter Robinson interviewed Margaret Thatcher’s official biographer Charles Moore in a retrospective of this amazing woman.

Quick Takes – Green Totalitarianism: Gaia Jugend; Climate Emergency as Medicine; Slave Labor for Gaia

Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Everything within Gaia; nothing outside Gaia; nothing against Gaia

     First, a little mood music:

     Carrying on…

     The totalitarian youth brigade love them some totalitarianism… for Gaia of course.

“Melati and Isabel are part of a growing phalanx of young people determined to shape Earth’s future, alongside Greta Thunberg, who started the Fridays for Future school climate strikes, and Felix Finkbeiner, who created Plant for the Planet more than a decade ago, aged nine.

“At the heart of YOUTHTOPIA is a changemaker programme based on the sisters’ belief that every young person can make a difference, even if they might not know how.

“Young people are hungry to understand how they can get out there on the front lines, according to Melati.…

“‘We’re at the most important tipping point in human history, and we do not have the luxury of time. As young changemakers, we really embody this. We see this in our everyday work where we work with all levels of society to change behaviours and mindset. It’s an everyday battle to challenge the comfort of the status quo.’”
