It started with book burning, perhaps the burning of the great Alexandria library- the church fundamentalists and the Nazis. Buddha statues were destroyed by radical Taliban. Now 'our' historic figures with their acknowledged warts are targeted. Now street names,school names and the named Gypsy moth are claimed as denigrating to the Romani as Gypsy a pejorative to some. So too are bird's named after their discoverers since some were not the PC followers of our time and of 'our' self serving holier than thou judging.
So where will it stop? Niggardly usage is perhaps to be not acceptable ?
Hey Christianity/religions have had many persecutions,deviants and incited and ordered the murder of innocents...!!! Ban the cross! Ban the crescent !
I think the world's nut cases are rising from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Yikes, I thought you were having a problem with your PC  It is out of control (not your PC), this 'wokeism' is ridiculous and judging people by today's standards is wrong. Wokeism is the new religion which includes 'cancel culture' is more oppressive than that which they think they are cancelling. |

I so agree that 'Wokeism' is the problem. People need to stand up and fight for their values. Fight by electing conservatism in government. This world is nuts these days. I really hate this oppression, victimization, and downright racism these people are trying in impose on the rest of us. Most people I know just try and ignore it. Yet it's already being indocternated in our schools, to the kids of today. Our Republicans are trying to fight this. The swamp is deep with haters, the swamp is deep with stupid people!
Let's hope that we are on the winning side.

Juging TODAYS people by todays standards is one thing, but these picayune matters are a non issue unless,UNLESS you're looking for a cause and opportunity to destroy. Read Black's Saturday 16th column re MacDonald etc. it's a doozie.

I did read it an he is right on, but too many people dismiss his writings because of who he is. The PC business is getting funny now, who trumps what, Indigenous or French. Trudeau appointed an indigenous woman as GG but she does not speak French so the French are complaining. Trudeau will not rescind the appointment now but if he wants to appoint more Indigenous people he is going to have to waive the French requirement. He passed over a qualified Indigenous person for the Supreme Court as he didn't speak French, but that's the next issue for the Liberals - to get an Indegenous appointee to the S.C. It's going to be a fight over who trumps whom or what. |
