Read the epic smack-down that took the internet by storm! Many, many excellent points are made here that deserve to be discussed.
Ban All Culture!
If you want some excellent sarcasm, you can always trust a Brit to deliver. This bit of commentary covers the row over J.K. Rowling, Faulty Towers, etc. (FYI, I'm loving that J.K. Rowling has decided she has just enough eff-off money to tell the social justice bullies to pound sand. My hero!)
We Must Stop the Great Unraveling
"There is one way to stop the unraveling: Refuse the mob. We have seen again and again that the mob comes only for those who hope to please it. And when it does, no amount of apology will save you. We stand against the mob and all its aims. We stand against the chaos and violence, the silencing of debate, the purging of heretics, the rewriting of history, and the destruction of the greatest country in the world. We will defend the most majestic achievement of humankind, the United States of America, against the most ignoble impulse in human history, to tear down that which is good."
This pretty much speaks for itself, no?
J.D. Vance: Corporate America Dividing The Country, Preventing People From Unifying
"You know, if I was a member of a political movement that stood up for working people and found myself every single time on the side of Amazon, on the side of Apple, on the side of Google, I might ask myself, if I've actually chosen the right allies, and what it says about me, but unfortunately, too many folks on the left just aren't doing that."
Yep. I think Vance hits the nail on the head here. Woke-ism is a bourgeois movement, not a movement that actually gives a damn about disadvantaged people.
Iconoclasm as a Prelude to Woke Horrors?
This is from James Lindsay's website, so it's obviously going to be an essential read.
Les Miserables
Another good discussion of today's cultural revolutionaries/woke cultists.
And before I go, just a quick Twitter thread regarding the attack on sacred art:
Actually, the important thing is that Jesus is an ultimate symbol of SUBMISSION, not dominance/supremacy. It doesn't matter if he's depicted as white/black/Arab/whatever.— The Right Geek (@TheRightGeek) June 23, 2020
