“At the heart of the issue is a redefinition of the word “fascism” in such a way as to make it sound like it means the same thing as “patriotism.””
We were a fraction of an inch from patriotism being transformed into supporting the progressive marxist revolution. There would have been a series of “sacrifices” the public would have to endure for love of country and anyone who didn’t agree wouldn’t be a patriot. It would have been like the old cancel culture mixed with the new anti-human Ukrainiac bullying and dehumanization that we see online.
The author notes that Trump is pro Jew while Democrats are anti-Jew. A lot of Democrats are not aware that Jews have been killed by Democrat protesters or that the protests are even taking place. To the extent they are aware, it is through the context of subtle anti-Jewish news coverage of the war. But this isn’t a problem for Democrats who want to tie anyone to being racist as they think so many things are racist, including certain people just existing.
We are having a third faculty meeting expressedly for discussing the our looming budget crisis.
What do you think would happen if I made a motion, “Resolved: The ECE Department condemns antisemitism in all its forms.”
Just that. Not combined with any other anti-isms.
Would this motion even get a second? Whether it did or not, would I be kicked out of the U and stripped of my pension?
What does this motion even have to do with our budget crisis? We are not exactly in the Trump cross-hairs in the fashion of Columbia or Harvard, and the “stick-it-to-the-pointy-headed-elites” sentiments are driven more by more than the recent campus anti-Israel protests resulting in harassment of Jewish students.
But what if we pass this motion? Would this garner media attention? Could it trigger a preference cascade where university departments and universities pass similar resolutions?
In the case of Harvard, I sense a strong Art of the Deal element of their Federal funding being pulled, that if they did the expedient thing of passing a similar resolution, that I also happen to believe to be the morally correct thing, their funding could be restored?
OK, people, you can talk me out of this, otherwise, if you don’t hear from me after Wednesday, look for a news story about a faculty member being savagely beaten by his colleagues.
The people referenced in the article…..are simply ill.
But they are “Experts!(tm)”, you have to bow down and defer to their worldview.
Know your place, prole!
May they leave with sufficient rapidity that the door does not smack them on their asses on the way out.
They should enjoy Canada – at least for as long as it lasts. Much of Western Canada is sick and tired of being treated as both a punching bag and a piggy bank by Ontario and Quebec. Now that these most-populous provinces have seen fit to elect a transnational elitist with three passports as Prime Minister, the probable exit of Western Canada – except perhaps British Columbia – from the Canadian Federation will leave them in a rump Canadian state that can no longer afford its progressive indulgences. Fun times ahead.
Hongcouver can be a smallish city state as part of the Peoples Undemocratic Monarchy of Canada (or part of West Taiwan). The rest of B.C. can join Alberta and Saskatchewan as 3 new states of the USA. Or one. TBD.
Note that it was a 50 year process for Alaska to become a state.
Very fair point. BC is a lot like the three US states between it and Mexico – an ultra-loony left coastal strip and a less-populated, but far more conservative interior. If BC winds up as two entities split along such a north-south line of cleavage, the US politics of adding new states and territories that were formerly part of shattered Canada may well extend toward entertaining such cleavages within the extant CONUS, particularly in Washington, Oregon and California. Such major realignments have a momentum all their own once they get rolling.
