 Foreword: The following was published in Res Publica a student magazine on the 18th of Feb, 2021. It was removed due to complaints on the 19th of Feb,2021. The magazine also made a public apology for the "controversy" that the article had caused. The article attempts to shed light on why arbitrary classifications such as blackness and whiteness can do more harm than good. This seems not to have sat well with my critics and I quote: Critic :"This piece is one of the most egregious examples of weak academic scholarship and malpractice I have ever come across." Response: Large but mostly emotive words of opinion. Critic : An "incoherent attempt to cloak an argument in favour of ignoring race and minimising the impact of racism in a litany of unsupported claims and boilerplate historical whataboutery, wrapped in a shell of bad-faith concern-trolling. The primary target of this shoddy diatribe is seemingly the actually fairly small tranche of academics who, the author insinuates, as usual without evidence, corruptly "keep racialisation alive" in return for "financial incentives". It is flatly unconscionable that a university magazine would publish such a baseless attack on the integrity of a section of the academic population that is (1) disproportionately drawn from BIPOC scholars and (2) currently in the front line of funding cuts being imposed on non-STEM subjects." Considering history of both sides and comparing these is not historically whataboutery, but rather a consideration of history, as inconvenient as that may be. Making observations of a self evident reality is not diatribe, but an observation. The article never denies racism or the impact of it, the very opposite in fact, which makes one wonder if the critic can understand what was written at all. The university magazine claims to publish numerous points of view and a response piece was published alongside the article, hence it was designed as two perspectives of one discussion. The idea that the piece attacks BIPOC scholars seems to be a heavy projection on the part of the critic who is discontent with a loss of funding for non-STEM subjects. In reality, was not specifically concerned with BIPOC scholars at all but was poking at the work of individuals such as DiAngelo who DO make money off of the anxiety and pain of others. I offer no apology for stating reality. Critic : "In truth, the worst aspect of the piece is that it takes up space that could have been used to platform an actually insightful, nuanced, and accessible introduction to the controversies in the study of race and racism by someone with expertise on the subject. Or, even more valuably, it could have platformed someone with lived experience of racism: someone who currently does not have any platform at all because of (e.g.) their youth or professional juniority. That is where student journalism is at its best; not in peddling tired misinformation that reinforces the prejudices of those who are already empowered." Response: An online magazine, as far as I am aware, does not have a limit on space unless I am mistaken and their server is of low capacity. The critic makes two assumptions, that I have no expertise in the subject, and that I have never experience racism. Both of which are untrue and fairly lazy method of creating doubt without presenting a factual argument. The magazine also has articles from numerous other professors, should they also be removed to make space for "student journalism" or are they permitted because they follow the Orthodoxy the critics described views? It is interesting to how the critic is capable of intellectual contortionism based on personal opinion. Foreword Continued: I make historical observations on issues with terminology and practice and call for personal accountability for biases as a method for self-improvement and empowerment regardless of ethnicity. Interestingly, direct feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from people of numerous ethnic backgrounds, this is food for thought. I will let the reader decide as to the validity of the critics statements. And now the actual Article...When viewing history from afar, there is a strong danger that events can be simplified, misconstrued or even misread. Attempting to understand history therefore requires a rounded view and an understanding of both sides of the story. One should aim to understand the motivation and the applicable factors that led to certain events. If this is not done, it is likely that history will be interpreted through a modern lens, thus devoid of the context in which it happened. This does not mean that the terrible events that took place in the past can be condoned, nor does it detract in any way from the horror that people have experienced, however, understanding why these events happened and the motivations that led to these events happening, can give us a deeper understanding of where we have come from, where we are, and where we are going. Considering the immense pain and anguish that many people have suffered throughout history, it is understandable that there can be a degree of resentment. Be that as it may, while empathy is an admirable quality to display in daily life, it serves to constrain our understanding of history which should be methodological and devoid of emotional interpretation. This brings us, to the very sensitive subject of race and ethnicity.
Firstly, it should clearly be understood that race does not exist, it is a scientifically debunked and obsolete term in the same manner the definitions “Mongoloid, Negro or Caucasian” are now obsolete. Historically speaking ethnic hatred of which racism is a part has also not been the monopoly of any single group, but to a certain extent has been practiced in some form, at some time in history, by almost every ethnic group on the planet. The common faux pas in the Western world is that racism and the concept race are both seen as recent historical developments. This is only true for places where different races have not interacted until recent history. At the crossroads so to speak of civilizations, there are many historical records of racist sentiments being displayed on both sides. Contemplate for a moment the ancient Egyptian context. Egypt had various dynasties throughout its very long history, some of these dynasties belong to the more fair-skinned Egyptians, while others belonged to the darker-skinned Nubians after their conquest of Egypt. In ancient writings the fair skinned Egyptians refer to the barbarians with white skin from the north and the barbarians with black skin from the south. The Nubian Dynasty refers to the Egyptians as barbarians and also to the other fair skinned people of other lands. The idea of racial superiority, therefore depended mostly on who was in power at any particular time. When considering the writings of 3rd Century Generals in China, one General referred to the northern barbarians as strongly resembling the Apes from which they descended. There was also no love lost between the peoples of Europe and the Arabs and the Turks during the Crusades. So racial categorization is far from a modern invention, however, the modern system of classification went further by attempting to create a scientific understanding of races and therefore give a scientific reason or justification for the treating of others as inferior. Thus, the field of eugenics was born and was used as a strong justification for some of the most abhorrent events in human history. American eugenicists saw this “racial science” as the promised Holy Grail for the creation of a superior white race, the breeding of the perfect slave race but also the eradication of “inferior” bloodlines of the white race. Margaret Sanger knew that Eugenics could be a powerful tool in reducing the Black and Hispanic populations but she also wished to remove the lower class white population so as to “purify” the genetics of the upper class. It is little wonder that American eugenicists had strong connections to eugenicist working in the Nazi party. Recall that Hitler was not only concerned with the genocide of Jews in Europe but also of all undesirable individuals such as the disabled and those with mental problems so as to free the “pure German race” from “inferior pedigrees”. Racial superiority had created the concept of “racial cleansing”. This same concept was used in Imperial Japan, Unit 731 was created possibly as a Eugenics lab and partly as a laboratory for the experimentation and creation of deadly disease especially for use in biological weapons. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan share many striking similarities in their general ideologies. Nazi Germany sought to create the pure German race not only by exterminating any deemed unworthy of life or inferior, but also in reclaiming the so-called lost bloodlines of the German diaspora in other European countries. Imperial Japan took a similar line of action due to their belief that the Japanese were the superior Asian race, to this end the Koreans while seen as inferior to Japanese and treated extremely brutally, were also seen with potential for assimilation. Therefore, the Japanese aimed at destroying Korean culture through aggressive language assimilation, brutality and heavy propaganda. A similar approach was taken in Taiwan and it was hoped the Japanese settlers would be able to breed out and absorb the local population. The Chinese however, were simply viewed as little better than animals. Unit 731, captured local Chinese men, women and children for the most indescribable human experimentation. At the time, to cover over the real research that was taking place, these so-called researchers referred to their human test subjects as Manchurian monkeys. This lexical choice is no coincidence, as “Manchurian monkey” was the racial epithet used for Chinese. The Imperial Japanese attitude towards the ethnic groups in China became undeniably clear during the massacre of Nanjing. That however is modern history, where there was more likelihood of interaction between completely different races. Racism is in fact merely an extension of ethnic hatred. Consider the history of almost any modern country, that is to say those with recorded history, and one will quickly find the same brutalities taking place between closely related ethnic groups as those that took place between races. During the Hundred Years War, white Europeans wholeheartedly butchered other white Europeans from opposing ethnic groups. During the Warring States and Three Kingdoms periods in Chinese history different Chinese ethnic groups wholeheartedly slaughtered other Chinese ethnic groups. During the various Bantu expansions, different Bantu tribes and ethnic group wholeheartedly destroyed people from other Bantu groups. For the majority of history, the chance of being murdered by a member of one's own racial or closely related group has been significantly higher than suffering the same fate at the hands of someone from a different racial group. It is therefore intellectually dishonest to only consider recent history when trying to understand the social interactions of ethnic groups and races over the course of history or to ignore the ongoing ethnic tensions around the world when considering contemporary history. Race is predominantly viewed as an obsolete concept by the majority of the population regardless of their political inclination, yet there are aspects of Academia which seem disproportionately focused on keeping racialization alive. The motivation for doing so likely boils down to two things. Firstly, racialization and concepts of race are easily accessible methods for creating support as they draw on historical injustices. Secondly, these factors also serve to create considerable financial benefits for academics who keep this concept alive. The most vocal academic proponents of this highly racialized worldview are individuals who stand the most to gain via the financial incentives such as research sponsorship or publication of their books which are bought by those who feel disenfranchised and who may have genuinely suffered or by those who wish to help. Such manipulation can rightly the reviewed as having a predatory aspect because it capitalizes on the suffering of others. The most common modern racialisations which animate the corpse of racial thought, are the concepts of Blackness and Whiteness with numerous books written on these subjects. The concepts of Blackness and whiteness are in themselves deeply racist as well as highly erroneous. Both terms are used to describe individuals' life experiences based on the tone of skin. This in turn becomes highly problematic because skin tone is a poor predicate of personal views, ethics, worldview, religious belief and of course personality. Both terms also erroneously assume the homogeneity of a very large groups of people based purely on the content of melanin or lack thereof. Simply considering some of the basic facts concerning the ethnic makeup of people with different skin tones shows exactly how crude if not laughable the concepts of Blackness and Whiteness really are, both in practice and as a theory to understand social phenomenon. The continent of Africa, is home to more than 3000 ethnic groups which speak more than 2,100 languages, most of these groups have their own rituals, customs and traditions which have been developed over millennia. The attempt of attributing a common shared life experience based on something as superficial as skin tone, verges upon the insulting. Consider then Europe which has 87 indigenous ethnic groups, all of which have their own unique perspectives and many who have their own languages. Then consider the diaspora of Europeans across the globe, can it be assumed that all these individuals have a similar view who have had similar life experiences. This has not even touched upon the numerous ethnic groups that exist in Asia, the Americas, Oceania or the many island nations around the world. In discussing the ideas encased in such an ethnic monolith, further questions then arise. Are individuals with multi-ethnic ancestry to be classed as having benefited from whiteness, or have they been oppressed for that blackness? Does such a classification take place based merely on the melanin content? Are East Asians to be classified as white and therefore beneficiaries of whiteness? Are South Asians, to be classed as black, or does it depend on their melanin content or caste? Who is to decide which persons are classified as being impacted by Blackness or Whiteness? These are really the same questions that arose at the time when eugenics was the dominant racial theory thus ironically recreating the very racialized ideologies of the past. These concepts of Blackness and Whiteness, should therefore be rejected as a continuation of that same pre-modern system of eugenics which has led to the genocide of countless people. This system also encourages the view of eternal oppressor and eternal victim narrative which does not assist those who have truly been disadvantaged or disenfranchised but locks them into a vicious and hopeless cycle of despair and resentment. It becomes like giving a man a fish instead of teaching him how to fish, and then blaming the lack of this knowledge on a third party. When filtering into education, these concepts cause a social divide from a young age and is child abuse in two ways, a) children who happen to have more melanin are taught they will be disadvantaged and never have the same chances in life due to the system that their lower melanin class mates belong to, b) the lower melanin class mates then feel guilty for belonging to an oppressive caste which keeps their fellow classmates down. This does not foster warm relationships, on the contrary, it serves to add a divisive factor to the class environment and stifles free interaction. It also produces a narrow and ideological world view. Students should be taught historical realities in history class, with context, to understand events as they took place within the time that events occurred to avoid repeating them, rather than to resuscitate a system of a bygone era for application in a modern setting. This concept also feeds the notion that racism is an inescapable institutional system of power plus privilege and not a serious personal flaw. By so doing, it absolves the individual of the need to address their own biases and to correct these as part of their personal self-development. In the modern application, racism cannot be argued to be institutionalized if there is no policy that clearly favours a certain race (although there are organisations with race related problems that are separate from policy). Therein lies the danger of blaming the institute or organization of being institutionally racist, when the reality is that the individual holds responsibility for their own actions and by failing to address this aggravates the social problem. This in turn means that any individual regardless of their skin tone can in fact be racist and must take the personal responsibility to make a personal effort if they are so inclined, to remove this bias and the associated actions. An oxymoron then states that members of certain ethnicities are incapable of being racist towards members of certain other ethnicities, this itself is quite racist as it proposes that one group is unable for reasons of race to hold a certain view and inadvertently creates a racial hierarchy of inferiority and superiority. Hence, such a definition is really contradictory and self-defeating as it deflects away from personal development and instead anger towards a system. When such a view becomes mainstream it results in bigotry of low expectations for certain ethnic groups, serving only to strengthen basic tropes and stereotypes. Are all conflicts then based on ethnicity? Most disagreements, miscommunications and misunderstanding in multi-ethnic environments arise not as a result of melanin content, but rather from cultural differences. Different cultures and languages cause people to see the world in a different way, decode behaviours differently and therefore interpret actions according to their cultural norms. Often what is viewed as polite or acceptable in one culture may be viewed as rude or unacceptable in another, with such differences occurring even between closely related cultural groups that speak the same language. These may even include fairly harmless mannerisms, which of course are not wrong in of themselves, but could be misunderstood in a certain cultural context. Such differences can occur even with individuals of the same ethnic group that have lived in a different country and have been raised there. For example, some Koreans view Gyopo (Koreans born/raised Overseas) as being rude. In actual fact they may not be rude at all, but because their mannerisms have been Westernized and because of their Asian appearance they are held to the cultural standard of Koreans who have only known their own country and culture resulting in a misunderstanding. The same cultural differences occur even within the Anglosphere as the cultures in different English speaking countries differ considerably. Such phenomenon only highlights the problematic nature of describing the world and its people through highly racialized terms like Blackness and Whiteness. In essence, terminology such as Blackness and Whiteness, keep racial stereotypes alive and are also very little use in studying complex social phenomena because by definition these terms attempt a univariate approach in the classification of manifold social interactions across numerous cultures, language groups and also over vast expenses of time. Comparatively speaking, such a hyper simplified model is the equivalent of trying to understand the game of chess by looking at only a single chess piece. Rather than taking a very simplistic view of history and human interactions developed over millennia a more comprehensive view is needed. The context of historical events regardless of the emotional attachment and brutality of such events must be considered to fully understand why they happened and the motivation behind them so as to avoid repeating them. Racism should not merely be seen as an institutional construct, but as a personal prejudice and the responsibility of the individual to address thereby affecting the wider community. If academics truly believe and agree that the concept of race is outdated and obsolete, they should discontinue the use of racialized terms like Blackness and Whiteness which have no validity in understanding the ways in which people behave and merely perpetuate shallow pseudoscientific understanding.

 One can be forgiven in thinking that colonialism ended almost a century ago. However, the turnings of the cogs of the gears of time reveals that such evil “entities” rarely die out but rather change their forms. In a modern sense colonisation has moved on to parasitic ideologies which latch onto language in much the same manner as a virus, injecting their ideological DNA to warp language into their own form.
This redefinition of language and the reconstruction of language into an “approved” form are vital in the process of making easily discernible falsehoods seem like facts and making blatant propaganda seem like sweet whisperings of divine truth. In traditional colonialism a minority gains control over a large populace within the host nation, state or region. Linguistic colonialism is no different. In this context, an aggressive and highly vocal minority begins to dictate the “taboo” language to be avoided and “approved” languages forms to be taught and to be used. This is often done with such persuasion and force that legislation is moulded around an ideological structure regardless of its moral, ethical or scientific validity. As in the traditional forms of colonialism which imposed harsh penalties on those deemed “ignorant savages”, linguistic colonialism also brands as “ignorant savages” all those whom will not be swayed to join the hive mind and who troublesomely persist in “wrong speak”. In both traditional and linguistic colonialism there is a persistently debased ideology that supposes itself to be of utmost moral authority and that its implementations of totalitarian ideals are not only “kind” but also “for the greater good”. The language we use and think in, WILL shape not only the WAY in which we think but also our perspective and world view. Linguistic colonialism is a form of slow and insidious indoctrination which is especially effective in corrupting children who do not have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish between right and wrong. The steps it takes are simple and yet highly effective. Step 1: Divide and conquer. Redefine the meanings and usage of words and shun not only the original usage but also those who would use it in such a manner. Redefinition prevents reflection on past realities and inhibits orientation within the real world by being unable to anchor oneself by means of clear definitions. Step 2: Divide and conquer. Create nonsense words with vague meanings, expect those who are to be “approved” to use this terminology as this is “right speak”. Initially, no penalties are introduced. As the terms become more widely known, start to implement the strong use of these words or phrases with penalties on a social, emotional, physical or professional level. Harass those who do not conform, force legal/government agencies to legislate this “right speak”. Step 3: Divide and conquer. Infiltrate the education system and “reform” it in order to act as the outlet for propaganda. Strongly penalise and demonise teachers who refuse to conform (as an example to the general public). Ensure that textbooks and others materials adapt to this and boycott those which do not. Step 4: Divide and conquer. Repeat the previous three steps. Given enough time the general population will either be unquestionably indoctrinated or otherwise fear the repercussions of speaking out more than responsibility of relaying truth. Science and all other subjects can be redefined to fit the desired narrative. One may think, “well that sounds Orwellian and restrictive but things are not at that level yet”, indeed, but this implementation has already begun and totalitarianism is not far off. One should not lose sight of the fact that this is the exact methodology used by the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany (NAZI) and the United Socialist Soviet Republics and that global communication would allow for similar policies to be easily implemented. Currently “hate speech” laws are being augmented to include labelling scientific facts as taboo as well as imposing on the freedom of conscience by demanding compelled speech under legal ramifications. A large part of the current language colonisation is aimed at destroying the biological family unit (male-female-offspring), the relationship between the two genders and the removal of individual identity as well as freedom of thought. Consider how the English language is being colonised and crushed into submission. Be Kind The word “kind” has been warped to become synonymous with “accepting everything regardless of how immoral, unethical, debased, pseudoscientific or wicked it may be, for the sake of avoiding causing offence”. To disagree or to point out the ethical, moral or scientific flaw of an argument is “unkind” and being unkind means that one is “not conforming” and hence by extension is a “bigot”, which is to say one who indulges in “hate speech”. “Kindness in theory” becomes dominant over actual kindness. Hate Speech Originally, hate speech is language used to incite violence or hatred towards a certain group. Sadly, any expression of personal viewpoint may now be considered hate speech if ANY member of the public feels that the opinion expressed is different to their own, regardless of whether it incited violence or hatred. This shift in the definition of what is hate speech, is designed to give legal clout to what amounts to legal censorship and harassment by law for thought crimes. Interestingly, actual hate speech that calls for the slaughter of Jews or to “kill all men” are brushed aside as being “symbolic”. Whether hate speech laws are applied (or not), seems to depend largely on the degree of ideological contortionism that the listeners can manage. Man / Women A man is a person who is born with XY chromosomes (or mutations thereof) and female is a person who is born with XX chromosomes. Humans are like the majority of mammals sexually dimorphic (from the Greek : di — two, morphous — forms). The redefinition of what it means to be male or female and that gender can be chosen is a direct attack on the entire biological structure of our species. The happiness of our species will be undermined by these false doctrines. This forms a basis and is an integral part of further propaganda techniques. Scientifically : Men are adult human males and women are adult human females, everything in excess of these is merely pseudoscience. Note: while intersex individuals exist this is not a third gender or sex (as most are sterile) but rather a dangerous mutation that requires medical attention to ensure quality of life. It should be viewed as it is, an anomaly and not the norm. Sex/Gender For the majority of the history of the English language there was no distinction between the words sex and gender. As sex/gender is a clearly identifiable biological axiom which causes a great deal of annoyance to certain ideologies, it would need to be forced into an ideological mould to make sense to those who would wish to reject its validity. The brain child of this was to split the meaning of sex and gender. Sex would become biological and therefore science could be largely ignored in favour of ideology, whereas gender could be defined as a “social construct” and much in the manner of wet clay, be shaped and reshaped endlessly to conform with an ever degrading ideology. We have now reached the tipping point whereby ideology is undermining known hard sciences such as biology in what can only be describes as semi-religious, cultish fervour. It is all the more abhorrent that children are being targeted with this perverse teaching. Clearly the promoted lifestyles that are pushed as “normal” are not and are self eliminating due to a failure to reproduce offspring, to find an alternative route therefore, the children of heterosexuals are being targeted in order to continue the façade. Trans- The very word “trans” denotes by association something that is faux and a copy of the real original. There are those that argue that transwomen are real women or that transmen are real men, however, the semantic meaning of pseudo-gendering remains attached to the word. The ideologue will strongly protest this and yet the encoded meaning within the semantics will merely transfer with any alternative name that they create. Realising that this is the case, some ideologues are now pushing to redefine the very meaning of man and woman. Women who protest at the presence of biological men( and as yet, entire, or in plain English, not yet castrated males pretending to be women) in their restrooms, are now being labelled as bigots. In recent years in the United Kingdom and the United Stated, several paedophile trans “women” who actively preyed on both adult women and young girls, have been treated as women, even though they are fully intact males. Their debauchery and crimes are not punished to the full extent and some have been put in female prisons only to continue their depraved actions…. For some reason unknown to mentally sane people, governments have chosen, proverbially at least, to send wolves in among sheep. Criminals are quickly gaining more rights than common people with a serial Paedophile and rapist, who raped three women in prison, demanding that the government pay for his sex change surgery. It is indeed a slippery slope that we have already started to slide down when vicious paedophiles receive more human rights protections than their pure, innocent, child victims. Alternative and Preferred Pronouns Perhaps one of the most frontal attacks to personal freedom and the right to conscience and expression is the demand to use alternative or preferred pronouns. Alternative and preferred pronoun mandates are the first manifestation of the implementation of an all out totalitarian system. In many countries this compelled speech is mandated by law and attracts penalties for failure to comply. This can leave a persons career in tatters, simply because they did not indulge in the delusion of a mentally and emotionally unstable individual. What is more, this compelled speech is a violation of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, which states that: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. However, this inconvenient right has been circumvented by some governments adding a hate speech clause that essentially nullifies this human right by classifying “misgendering” as a form of hate crime. In Canada, Bill C16 has set the basis for further erosion of human rights by criminalising the refusal to use compelled speech. This law has already been used (although as yet unsuccessfully) to attack academics such as Jordan Peterson and Lindsay Shepherd. As more and more universities succumb to this pestilence, one should expect the quality of actual education to rapidly decay with the implosion and devaluing of credentials within certain fields becoming widespread. Cis- Ideologues feel the need not only to redefine themselves but also the “oppressor”. This devil figure is central to the victimhood ideology so often preached by social justice warriors as it cements all social problems on an outside group, hence meaning that personal responsibilities and personal life choices are negated and not applicable. Fault for all grievances is deflected outward in much the manner of a small child that finds reasons to blame everyone else for its own actions. In this case, “cis” is used to classify and label a unit of society that is “oppressive and problematic”, heterosexuality which is the way our species procreates and is our normal condition. By redefining normal as abnormal and abnormal as normal it is therefore possible to break away for moral and ethical gravity and float off into the void of all pervasive virtue signalling, trigger warnings, coddling and other generally cognitively deficient self preening behaviours. “Cis” when used in the digressive circles (progressive seems like such a misnomer) is often used with animosity and should be viewed as the slur that it is, which aims to segment society into castes of ideological desirability. Trigger Warning A term used by intellectual infants to describe their own dislike of hearing reality/facts stated publicly. Bigot Anyone who does not follow “group think” and has a different opinion regardless of whether or not they are actually a bigot. Pedophilia / Child Abuse Pedophilia is increasing alarmingly, spreading through the Internet and organisations the use charity or social awareness as a front. If children, the proverbial pillars from which future generations are to be supported, themselves become corrupted by pedophiles who are given free reign to practice their debauchery and target children, then the destruction of society as we know it is assured. Abhorrent “associations” such as MAP (Minor Attracted Persons) and NOMAP (Non Offending Minor Attracted Persons) advocate for the acceptance of pedophilia and its perversions as a “genuine sexual orientation” claiming that they are unfairly treated by society. Twitter which is extremely zealous about imposing its pseudoscience based “misgendering” policy, gave a lethargic and emancipated response in tackling the huge amount of accounts created by members of these groups, which openly discussed their deplorable and unspeakable desires to target children. Recent news shows children participating in drag going as far as to perform in homosexual bars and to do nude photo shoots with adult men in drag. Instead of arresting those involved and providing psychological support for the child, this was celebrated as an LGBTQABCDEFG+ victory of liberation. Be assured, there is a historical pattern observable in the great empires of history, if depraved behaviour and in particular pedophilia becomes the norm, Western civilisation WILL fall. Racism The unique highfaluting definition of racism as provided by sociology, has in of itself, formed the basis of a large amount of racism. Sociology defines racism as “power plus prejudice” whereas the original definition defines it as a prejudicial hatred of people of a different race. The original meaning is highly problematic to ideologues because it supposes that ANYONE, regardless of their race, can be racist. The ideologue narrative of only white people being racist then makes no sense because people are generally judged on a personal basis, dependent on their own personal behaviour of racism and not of a group identification. Ideologues however aim to fragment society by keeping groups that historically suffered abuses in a mindset of victimhood, bound in solid mental chains and unable to improve their own lives due to this psychological enslavement. This enslavement to a victimhood ideology serves to bolster the illusion that the untruths spoken by ideologues are based in fact. The reality is that all races are of equal worth, that certain races may have certain strengths or weaknesses that do not affect their value as people and also that there are subcultural differences within a single society. These are facts that ideologues do not want to acknowledge as existing because these call for personal responsibility regardless of race. White Privilege Assumes that successful people have an upper hand largely due to their skin colour. While it is true that SOME white individuals have benefited significantly from the wealth of their ancestors, the same can be said for people of all races who have affluent families. Statistics consistently disprove that the white race (whatever that is) is not the financially dominant group when considering income and population percentages. Asian males (East and South) as well as those from the Middle East are shown to be the highest earning percentile. There are plenty of poor blacks, whites, Asians and so forth, however, it is not only opportunities that allow individuals to rise out of poverty, but rather, a mindset, motivation, the intelligence to identify opportunities when they present themselves and the humility to grasp them. Money does grease the wheels so to speak and therefore it can be said that instead of white privilege there is “green privilege” or the benefits that wealth could possibly bring. Masculinity Ideologues would paint traditional masculinity as “toxic masculinity”. In the past, chivalric codes dictated a strict set of principles, rules and responsibilities that men were expected to follow in dealing with women. Self control and discipline were valued along with mental fortitude. Traditional masculinity then was a system for strength and protection that eradicated undesirable behaviour. In Western Chivalry, violence against women and even losing ones temper while duelling or being unmerciful were all viewed as serious breaches of ethics. A man who broke these would be ostracised by other men. Far from being an oppressive patriarchy, it was designed to protect women and children under pain of death. Due to feminism a large part of these traditions have dissipated, leading to weak willed and selfish men who lack any moral compass, yet instead of admonishing the emasculated behaviour of feminist men and “soy boys” , those who are “traditional” in their mindset are criticised. It has and will always be a part of true masculinity to protect women and children because that is the true male instinct. Femininity Femininity can be a beautiful thing. Feminism has destroyed a large part of female contentment and happiness by setting expectations of how women should behave in view of feminist perspective. Females who do not conform are often shamed for simply being women. Some feminists attack women who get married, those who have children (especially male children), are anti-abortion, enjoy “traditional” lifestyles and the like. That is not to say that a woman must do all of these things, however, there are no grounds to criticise a woman who does choose to. Inclusive / Inclusivity Inclusivity was originally a term used to encourage the participation of previously disparaged racial groups and ethnic minorities. This notion was hijacked by ideologues who sought to include all manner of groups and conflate the real and horrendous historical suffering of racial and ethnic groups with non-issues of modern social justice warriors who feel that the unavailability of low fat soy milk is a form of oppression. Inclusion has been warped from helping the historically disadvantaged to become another ploy of ideologues to “include” ethically, morally and socially unacceptable behaviour and concepts in the public sphere, cloaked in this “tolerant” bubble wrap, mentally corrupting concepts are unaffected by the social immune system of open critique. Conclusion Linguistic colonialism is the new frontier of totalitarian control. This gangrene spreads through society causing moral and mental necrosis. It enslaves the mind to ideologies that harm not only the individual but the entirety of society. It is up to the individual to show the mental fortitude to reject this ideology which fractures social unity, pits man and woman against one another, encourages racial hatred, erodes basic morals and corrupts children with pseudoscientific drivel. The real question is, will you, the reader succumb evil or refuse to?  As the Lamborghini grade intellectual powerhouse of linguistic genius that I am, I rarely read the common literature which equates to mental junk food. The key word is “rarely” for at some point I see headlines which scathe my soul to its depth. “Pray what can scathe one so deeply?” you may ask. The answer is simple. The nigh on unforgivable sin of teaching erroneous grammar or warping meaning.
I speak of the article written for “Teen Vogue” which is entitled “All your Questions about Gender-Neutral Pronouns Answered” by Desmond Meagley. Fear not Desmond, I am a beneficent linguist and while I generally charge money to educate, I will be merciful upon your linguistically challenged soul by instructing you in the basics of the English language. The first thing one should remember is that in any language the rules are governed not only by grammar or by a single word free of context but by semantics and morphology (I know they are big words but do try to keep up). In layman’s terms, there are principles of context and grammar which form rules so as to encode meaning which is subsequently decoded by the listener (oh dear was that very patriarchal of me? layman….). It means one can babble on and make all sorts of nonsensical assertions about language and how it is used and yet, the actual way that it is decoded will render one’s utterances invalid if the message is not understood. To assist understanding, I will analyse the article and clearly display why when one wishes to dance the linguistic tango, that one must in fact know the steps or else risk looking like an uncoordinated and somewhat intoxicated grasshopper. The aforementioned article is written in a format of question and answer format that even the dimmest of teenagers is likely to understand and reasonably so for the magazine “Teen Vogue” is not aimed at the sharpest tools in the shed. The context of this piece is that the author argued for the use of they /them as a singular personal pronoun. “You look like a boy/girl. Why use they instead of he/she? I look like me. That’s all there is to it. If someone else looks at me and decides I am something or another based on the clothes I’m wearing, or whether or not I’m wearing make up, that assumption is on them: it has nothing to do with who or what I actually am.” A mildly passive aggressive answer and yet somewhat of an oxymoron. I do wager to ask: “If indeed you are self-confident enough to not care what assumption others make about your personage, then why is it necessary to impose the usage of a predefined term of self-identification on others? Would that not rather suggest insecurity and immaturity?” Just asking for a friend. The following was like watching a rocket blast off heavenward full of energy and power only to suddenly veer off at an angle strike the ground with excessive force and burst into flame. The design was flawed. So near and yet so far……….. “You’re only one person! How does that work?” It’s really, really simple. In English, we already use singular “they” all the time when the gender of a person is unknown. Say you see fifty bucks on the ground and pick it up. You might say: “Oh, someone dropped their money here. I’ll set it aside for them, I bet they are looking everywhere!” Alas, so near thee saileth, so near yon words thee spake rung true. Indeed, “they” and “them” are used as a singular plural within very strict semantic and morphological parameters defined by spoken situational context. “They” and “them” are used ONLY when the person is unknown and their gender, that is to say, their sex, is unknown. It is never used when the person is known to those communicating and only leaves possibility open that a member or members of either gender could carry out an action. (Fun biological fact, there are two genders.) “When someone uses they/them pronouns, all you have to do is apply that same sentence construction: “Oh, Desmond dropped their money here. I’ll set it aside for them, I bet they are looking everywhere!” The rocket has disintegrated. I take it that English was not your forté at school. The sentence is both semantically and morphologically incorrect and looks ridiculous. Perhaps it would be a kindness unto thyself to refrain from explaining any more of your pseudo-linguistic musings. Sadly, it continues…. “I’m fine with non-binary people, but I don’t believe in singular they pronouns. It makes no sense.”Not only are you on the wrong side of history, you’re also on the wrong side of English, my friend.” Firstly, expressing an attitude of friendship when one has only just introduced oneself in an article could give the impression of a condescending attitude, we wouldn’t want that now would we? Secondly, humans are dimorphic and hence we all belong to a binary. Thirdly, I strongly recommend against attempting to pull out a dictionary and embarrassing oneself by spouting a poorly formed and linguistically unsound argument with below par reasoning. Especially, when historically it has been used only to refer to unknown individuals. …….. Alright then, it’s a free country. “Major dictionaries have recognized singular they as grammatically correct for years, including the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, and dictionary.com. The word “they” has been used as a singular pronoun since at least the 16th century, and some argue it goes back even earlier. We’re not making up new words and grammar here. Clearly, it makes sense to a lot of people who know a lot about the English language, so I don’t know why everyone gets so hung up on this.” No one, “gets hung up” on this point when it is used to refer to an unknown individual carrying out an action. People only object to the incorrect grammatical usage based on erroneous semantic and morphological structures. You are attempting to make new grammar by insinuating a form that violates the semantic structure. The dictionary definition only applies to the already explained reference of when one is talking about an unknown individual or individuals. It does make sense to those who know a lot about the English language that the proposed assertion of using they/them for a known individual is laughably inaccurate. This is starting to get painfully repetitive. The arguments given are taken out of context and obviously lacks any depth or linguistic insight. The poor developed reasoning skills are aimed at the cognitively underdeveloped and is likely to further inhibit future growth of mental capabilities if teens consume this sort of faux linguistics. Alas, to err is but human, in the future let us continue to use the English language as it is supposed to be used and not put too much thought into our own whimsical interpretations. Let us pass over this as the result of misguided youthful over exuberance and deficit of knowledge. It would be highly recommended that one invest in a grammar exercise book which would save one from this type of embarrassment in the future. I have educated the throngs against this grammatical faux pas and extended my benevolent mercy upon the linguistically underdeveloped. May proper linguistics smile benignantly on your attempts to master the English language. The train wreck original article : https://www.teenvogue.com/story/they-them-questions-answered  The Western world is undergoing an ideological war directed at science and reality itself. Scientific fact is now construed as “offensive” or “insulting”. Interestingly, the so called “progressive” minds which one would assume to be more accepting of scientific realities are in fact in total opposition to this. Normally, I remain silent on these issues and let insane people follow their course of insanity. However, this pseudoscience, this faux reality, this paradox of logic, has spread and is now infiltrating and corrupting the very fabric of society at its root. Its root? Yes. children, those who will continue to live and create, those who will be responsible for building this world to be something better or destroying it through their own greed or stupidity. The Transcult is responsible for the dissemination of the worst forms of pseudoscientific dross, with certain doctors, keen on building a customer base and who are all too willing to defecate on the Hippocratic Oath they have taken, furthering medically unsound and downright harmful quackery. Let us then consider the actual science that undermines the religious fervour of this Transcult. Myth 1: I have a female brain in a male body (or vice versa). Reality: Sorry, but that is a biologically disproven absurdity. Human bodies are governed by constraints. Each sex develops in the womb with their neurons being woven together based on the hormones present for their sex.  This means that a male body will have neurons that weave together with greater density from front to back (and opposite) within the same hemisphere, the mass of the brain will be greater, with more overall white matter volume and an adult brain mass of approximately 1,370 grams. The female brain will have a total mass of approximately 1,200 grams, (one should not construe mass with IQ) higher overall grey matter volume but significantly higher inter-hemispheric white matter than males. That men and women behave differently is biologically encoded in the brain, female body = female brain and male body = male brain. No amount of pseudoscientific gymnastics can nullify these basic biological facts. A woman is a woman and a man is a man, physically, neurologically and genetically. Myth 2: Helping children “transition” earlier helps them have better lives because they know what they are. Reality: This argument is debased on many levels. Take the later half of the argument. It implies that children ( sometimes as young as three or four) have the cognitive ability to orientate themselves in the world to the mental level of an adult. This is in total opposition to well documented theories of children’s cognitive development such as Vygotsky and Piaget. Both of which argue that children’s cognitive development and self realisation happen in stages and that such young children are not fully cognizant as to themselves. Being a tomboy does not make one a boy trapped in a girls body, neither does being a sensitive boy make one a girl trapped in a boys body. The younger the child the less they are developed, children should not have any predefined “ideas” about gender because their behaviour at this stage is mostly compelled by their genetics. Baby girls are much more interested in people’s faces with baby boys being more interested in objects in their surroundings. This can in no way be argued to be anything other than a preprogrammed genetic default. It is impossible for a young child to “self identify” as anything because they lack the mental and cognitive ability (never mind the brain mass for computation) to physically do this. Using this same arguments by ideologues, a young child should also be able to drive, work, pay tax, get married, become part of government, run for office and the like. If it is considered for such things to be an absurdity for young children, why is the concept of choosing one’s gender especially at that age, not equally laughable? Children transitioning earlier only assures damaging the developing body to a greater degree. Imagine a sapling tree which is contorted into an unnatural shape. As it is young and supple it can handle the twisting, however, as the tree ages any attempt to correct its shape or to improve its shape will likely cause the wood to split. The same is true of children, biologically corrupting children can have no long term benefits, on the contrary, long term health problems ranging from mental illness to drastically increased risk of cancer due to DNA and hormonal damage along with a plethora of other diseases and conditions are the inevitable results of this abuse. Myth 3: “Transitioning” is safe and proven science. Reality: Changing sex is technically impossible. Even when everything is chopped and inverted and that individual “believes” that they are now the sex they “identify” with, their body cannot accept the lie. Biologically their DNA will continue to scream their true gender, so to speak. The body will continue to reject the lie, the body will continue to fight to repair itself, the body will continue to attempt to revert to reality. What does that logically mean? A man is a man and a woman is a woman. Biologically their DNA will continue to scream their true gender From this DNA rejection of changes comes a massive challenge. The body considers the wound caused by surgery as just that, a wound, which needs to be repaired. The body and the entire immune system will then attack and try to correct this immune system breach. Massive doses of hormones will then be needed to stave off this reaction, essentially putting the body in a DNA-Immune stupor. If at any time the hormones are ceased, the body will attempt to aggressively revert. Hormones also control the stability of the neural tissue. The brain is extremely sensitive, when hormones are used for extensive periods the neurological electro-chemical system is upset and starts to become damaged. This neurological instability leads to mental and emotionally unpredictable and often devastating results. It may increase aggression, depression and decrease the natural will to live. About 40% of males who undergo this procedure commit suicide and another larger percentage self harm. To put that into perspective, the Spanish flu killed about 20% of those who contracted it, the Ebola Virus (depending on the strain) kills about 50% of those who contract it. This means that the pseudo-medical procedure that kills 40% of those who undergo it is equitable to one of the most deadly viruses on the planet. Yet, little is said about this. Usually society is blamed for being “unaccepting” however this rate does not change regardless if the individual is in an accepting environment or not. This would then denote that the mortality rate is NOT affected by the wider society and rather that this is a mental illness ( Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition also known as DSM 5 refers to it being a Mental Disorder). To present this in another manner, imagine that a drug company created a drug and then put out it out to market knowing that the drug had a 40% chance of giving fatal anaphylactic shock to its consumers. Two questions arise, would they not be held legally responsible for the deaths and secondly, would you be willing to use medication that has a 40% chance of ending your existence? Transcultists argue that this is a chance worth taking. Far from being safe, this is untested, haphazard and slapdash pseudo-biology that is literally killing people, many times children. Myth 4: They are real women. Reality: No, they most certainly are not. The differences extend far beyond the brain and hormones. Males and females are structurally different. To put this in very politically incorrect terms, a female is not only a walking, talking individual just like a male, she is in fact more than that, she is a walking, talking life support system. This is a significant biological axiom, as the design of the body is heavily impacted by this. Take for example the centre of gravity. Females who have to carry a significant weight while pregnant hence having a lower centre of gravity than men. This puts less pressure on the spine which is caused the additional frontal weight and assists in stability while walking or doing other activities while being pregnant. They also tend to have lower core abdominal muscle mass as the abdominal regions need to expand during pregnancy.  Males generally have higher overall muscle mass and a higher centre of gravity along with a smaller Q- Angle, making them less stable from a gravitational standpoint but faster and more powerful thereby giving males a enormous advantage especially in the upper body and when lifting weights. The larger Q-angle in women also puts them at significantly greater risk of severe knee injury when pressure is exerted on the anterior surface, hence the significantly greater amount of knee injuries in professional female athletes (this is one reason than men are not permitted to compete with women).  Females have a lower set Sacrum, wider Pelvic Brim and wider Subpubic Angle than males, all of which are imperative to be able to give birth. This results in the stereotypical “child bearing hips” of women and the wider positioning of the legs.
The cervix and the ovaries are also immensely complex, as is the amniotic sac that acts as a supplementary immune system for the fetus. A real women is therefore and adult human female, one who possesses XX chromosomes or X / XXX chromosomal mutations. Myth 5: You can be female by behaving female. Reality: a large number of behaviour sets between men and women are identical. However, from a biological and physiological standpoint there are differences in certain common behaviours. Consider language and mannerisms. Women tended to use more agreeable language forms and less foul language in their interactions. Interestingly this would support the understanding that women have a better agreeableness rating in their general leaning, a point on which I concur. Further, “women and men may have different paralinguistic system and move and gesture differently” a point that can be seen with general gestures being understood to be predominantly masculine or feminine. Men tend to push the status quo considerably more and are often more blunt in their language forms and more likely to ignore social hierarchy or employ dialects in spoken language. Men are more likely to use physical cues to intimidate other men or to elevate their own status. Interestingly, the men who claim to be women, retain male gestures and speech patterns. Even when they attempt to use feminine forms, masculine forms are triggered by emotion and they cannot but help reverting to their “natural state”. Take for example the debate between Mr. Tur and Ben Shapiro. men who claim to be women, retain male gestures and speech patterns During the debate, Robert continually used body language of intimidation used by males. A hand on the shoulder (a masculine form used to try and signal physical superiority) and strong eye contact as commonly used by males in conflict. He then threatened Ben when he felt offended (by scientific fact) and told him that he would be leaving in an ambulance if he repeated his comments. Females rarely react like this, their conflict management tends to work by verbally communicating their offense and not with threats of violence toward unknown males(a pattern which is also based on a physically weaker physiology). Later Mr. Tur threatened to “curb stomp” (a very violent stepping on the back of the skull) Ben Shapiro. Another example is Bruce Jenner who aggressively stated no one should ever question whether a man, who claims to be a woman, is an actual woman and that they can never judge until they are in that position. He was apparently upset that some would question why a man had won a woman’s prize. He was essentially saying that science and discussion should be censored to further his pseudoscientific views. A common tactic of the Trancult is to attack any free thought that may question the validity of their carefully constructed pseudoscientific and baseless safe space. Myth 6: Acceptance is the kind thing to do. Reality: Here we have a severe case of conflating the two words acceptance and tolerance. Acceptance means that one condones certain actions and does not find anything wrong with a persons course of behaviour. Tolerance on the other hand, recognises the right of that individual to choose their life course but does not mean that one agrees with nor condones the actions of that individual. Hence, no conflict occurs when the other party does not impose their ideology on someone else. The Transcult however, is confused about not only acceptance and tolerance but also the meaning of kindness. Kindness is empathy and compassion. One can have a difference of opinion and still be empathetic and compassionate. Imagine a doctor who has to set a broken bone. The doctor will make a concerted effort to cause as little pain as possible, however there may still be considerable pain involved. The positive result of setting the bone outweighs the pain caused. No one would view a doctor who refuses to set a broken bone as being kind. In like manner, drawing attention to the pseudoscientific arguments of the Transcult, while seemingly painful to that individual is actually the real kindness. Imagine for a moment a schizophrenic patient. No good comes from indulging the audio-visual disturbances that a schizophrenic experiences as a reality. Schizophrenic persons have a severe mental disorder that than be a danger to not only those around them but also to themselves. They receive help and medication to enable them to live as normal and fulfilling lives as possible. The same should be true for those who believe a fallacy, that they are born in the wrong body. Research should be done not into how to further mutilate their bodies but how to correct the imbalances that make them delusional in the first place. An argument that angers many proponents of the transcult who are satisfied with their own delusion and encourage viewing as “normal” that which is not. It should be noted that those who so loudly espouse “tolerance” are the least tolerant of all. Any difference at all in opinion, even highlighting the scientific facts are deemed hate speech or offensive. An example is the so called Dr. Harrop (for some reason I hear the sound of a duck whenever that name is mentioned) who led a campaign against a certain Mrs. Posie Parker who dared to put up a sign saying that “women (noun) = adult human female”. She was subject to an online campaign of harassment and her children and husband were targeted. I do not personally know her and am opposed to feminism, yet, regardless of what one personally thinks of her, it seems highly unethical for “tolerant” and “accepting” people to target those who were not part of the argument, particularly her children. Regardless of my opinion on feminism, the fact remains that her statements are not scientifically inaccurate as the rest of this article has already demonstrated and that she was stating widely held mainstream medical belief. Sadly, rather than the harassers, it was Mrs. Parker who was deplatformed by those very “tolerant” and “large hearted individuals”. Espousing the lie that gender and sex can be chosen is the opposite of kindness, it is encouraging a mentally unstable individual to self harm and is devoid of all ethics and morals. Conclusion I could write on and on about the evidence that shows how harmful the mutilations of sex change surgery are to the body and mind, as to how children are condemned to a lifetime of hormones and depression, as to non-feminine behaviour of these who “transition”, as to the violent criminals, rapists and paedophiles that want to be imprisoned as females such as Stephen Terence Wood (now Karen White), Paul Banfield, David Aryton, Craig Hauxwell and many others. I could write about the campaigns by the Transcult to silence any dialogue and remove free speech as well as label anything they find mildly annoying to be hate speech. I could but I will not, as I do not desire to write an encyclopaedic length book on the subject, merely state a few of the blinding facts. Normalising the abnormal does not mean that reality will bend and that biology will obey ideology. Normalising the abnormal does not mean that reality will bend and that biology will obey ideology. One can manipulate biology into abnormalities but the results will never be beneficial, it will simply create other problems that add to human misery. Those with mental problems and disabilities should be assisted to live as normally as possible to add quality to their life, not make their disabilities and problems worse. This ideology of faux science continues to spread by brute force, will you accept the lie as truth?  Angry Tweets, angry television interviews and angry debates. It seems that the argument over pronoun use is becoming louder and angrier by the day. Now you may be wondering “Why is any of this even important?” A fair question to ask and before I attempt to answer in a step by step presentation of the facts, there are some things about me, that you the reader should understand. I am really no one of interest, simply a lone voice presenting facts. I am a linguist as well as a social scientist, the last of a rare breed of apolitical (politically neutral) social scientists. To be objective it is necessary in order have no horse in the race so to speak. As part of linguistics I study early childhood language development which encompasses neurolinguistics along with sociolinguistics. Another point that the reader should grasp is that I believe in the greater good of all mankind, regardless of race and regardless of whether you are a male or female. I am also not particularly liked by anyone because I draw attention to faults of various Ideals. When I see untruth I must however speak out. The last sentences have probably already triggered some individuals. Do try to hear the arguments before you decide. ON PRONOUNS A pronoun is defined as :any member of a small class of words found in many languages that are used as replacements or substitutes for nouns and noun phrases, and that have very general reference, as I, you, he, this, who, what. Pronouns are sometimes formally distinguished from nouns, as in English by the existence of special objective forms, as him for he or me for I, and by non-occurrence with an article or adjective. A simple definition, yet far too simple to comprehend the how pronouns are used. Pronouns interact with surrounding grammatical structures and form complex patterns that validate the semantic expression and clarify its pragmatics within the given context. The pronoun therefore confirms the state of being in which the individual spoken of exists in regard to the context of the communication taking place. Consider the sample sentence “She took her dog for a walk.” It is assumed that you and I are already familiar with the person in question, hence, instead of referring to the individuals name a simple “she” is sufficient to act as in identifier of the person in question. “Her” denotes either the state of possession of a noun or close relationship in connection with the noun, which in this case is a dog. Take another example of “be” verbs into consideration. These verbs are represented in English by “ am, are , is” for present tense and “was, were” for past tense. It must be clearly stated that the rules of “be” verbs are fairly complex in English and that other languages make do with fewer forms and some have more than English. “Be” verbs interact under strict grammatical rules with pronouns. To illustrate, “She are very happy”. The native speaker of English will very quickly see an inaccuracy as the sentence is grammatically incorrect, but why is it incorrect? It does not follow the grammatical rules which have formed over the centuries of language usage. Here lies a conundrum in the use of alternative pronouns, they don’t follow proper grammar. Another point that bears mentioning, is the whole “they” as a singular personal pronoun. Whoever made this argument or posed this idea in the first place is bereft of the least amount of linguistic knowledge. Are “they, them, their” used as a singular? Yes. Are these used as singular for when the person we are speaking of is known to us? No. “If someone comes while I am out, tell them I will be back after lunch”, clearly the person speaking does not know who is coming and therefore uses an gender neutral term. Basically, “they, them, their” refers to an unknown category and this is the only time when it is proper to use “they, them, their” for an individual. The parameters of “they, them, their” are constant and at no time has it been used to refer to someone in first person. To imply otherwise is an outright fallacy. This recent reinvention of “they, them, their” is a clumsy attempt by non-linguists to push a certain ideology, but more on that later. THE IDEOLOGY OF COMPELLED SPEECH The ideology of compelled speech is extremely dangerous and often precedes catastrophes in history. Compelled speech is essentially the opposite of free speech. Note should be taken to understand exactly what the nature of free speech is. It includes the ability to express controversial ideas freely and to debate issues that may be contentious. This gives ample space for a diverse range of opinions. Most governments have regulations in place to prevent so called “hate speech”. The context of hate speech is designed to to prevent radicals inciting the population to violence or committing other such vile crimes. In the case of Germany, denying the Holocaust is rightly defined as hate speech and brings with it heavy penalties. The necessity of this legislation stemmed from the strong anti Semitic propaganda that had polluted the minds of the population. This propaganda as one should clearly note, was based not on a mere dislike or aversion to Jewish culture but called for the extermination of the entire group. Hate speech should therefore NOT be confused with simple disagreement or difference of opinion. What is the point of this? Compelled speech draws no distinction between free speech and hate speech. It classifies anything deemed controversial or potentially offensive under the same umbrella term. Compelled speech also has a powerful propagandist effect on the population becoming a self policing totalitarian mind-set. Where plurality of opinion does not exist, those not associated with the “hive mind” are quickly identified and ostracised or worse singled out for eradication. This type of propaganda and legislation quickly produces the atmosphere under which language can be weaponised. This was effectively introduced by Joseph Goebbels the head of propaganda in the National Socialist German Worker’s party (NAZI Party) who was instrumental in silencing all other opinions along with installing the rabid campaign against all undesirables but especially the Jews. Failure to used compelled speech in refusing to say “Heil Hitler” immediately singled one out as a free thinker that is to say, an enemy of the German race. The death toll as most would know, exceeded 8 million. Humans are very slow in learning from history. This compelled speech was further implemented under the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics and its many children. The death toll that resulted from such propaganda campaigns is estimated at well over 40 million. The key to the implementation of this ideology is the insidious nature by which it is introduced. Hitler did not start out by claiming that he would exterminate the Jews, rather he sought to paint them as the villains and enemies of not only the German people but all mankind which also led to the ideology of the “superior and pure” race that would be the saviour of the world. This perfect race was to be superior not only in mind-set but also in genetics. One form of propaganda led to another and supported by pseudoscience as well as lacking any counter opinion, the flames of demented bloodthirsty fervour spread like a cancer, turning previously peaceful people into murders. Compelled speech is deadly. What on earth, does all that have to do with pronouns? It is ingenuously a battle for the control of your mind, the creation of a mindless spoon fed and unquestioning drone. The substitution of science and fact with pseudoscience and interpretations of self-declared moral outrage. The declaration that what is abnormal is normal. Pronouns are grammatical constants and have never been used as a term of insult or abuse, to infer therefore that they are “offensive” is the greatest act of insult to those who truly suffer from verbal abuse on a daily basis. Any stable minded person would not equate a refusal to use a certain pronoun with hate speech, death threats or incitement to violence. Pronouns are merely the start however. Think for a moment how one is viewed who refuses to use a pronoun out of personal belief, conscience or conviction. Such individuals are portrayed as various types of “phobic”, extremist, small-minded or wholly ignorant simply for having a difference of opinion. Pronoun usage is therefore a new method of classifying undesirables based on their opinions. Individuals who are adamant about alternative pronouns are often (not always) closed to any thought of debate or respectful conversation on differences in opinion. This lack of openness to dialog and demand about what others must say coincides with the compelled speech movement. ON LINGUISTICS & GENETICS Linguistics can however be somewhat beastly when it comes to classifications due to retaining a sense or feeling of the original word, even when a new term is coined. Take the “trans” prefix for example. By its very use it implies that the person is not biologically a man or woman acting as a paradox for claiming that they are “real” men or women. Further pushing the agenda that this mental condition of confusion about ones gender is “natural”. Be aware that this is a play on words. “Natural” to many people equates to “normal “in that it is found in nature. Yet, natural can also be undesirable or cause abnormalities, as is the case of “naturally occurring” viruses, bacteria, parasites and genetic diseases. “Trans” activists also often equate themselves to those who have chromosomal mutations and that they are therefore “natural” alternative forms of our species. In a television debate on the subject, Robert Tur claimed that Ben Shapiro was uneducated, however then went on to cite Klinefelter Syndrome as a defence as well as threaten violence. The scientific reality is completely different to the statements made. People who suffer from chromosomal mutations are suffering from a very real physical ailment and are not confused as to whether they are male or female at all. In many cases, individuals only become aware of their mutation by means of tests due to the symptoms of their syndrome such as infertility. The types of chromosomal mutations are listed below. Female (♀): 45,X (Turner’s syndrome) multiple health problems, may need human growth hormone to develop more normally. Male (♂): 47 XXY (Klinefelter syndrome) or (KS), also known as 47 XXY or XXY. It is the set of symptoms that result from two or more X chromosomes in males. Male (♂): 47 XYY (XYY syndrome): XYY syndrome is a genetic condition in which a male has an extra Y chromosome. Symptoms are usually few. Female (♀): 47 XXX (XXX syndrome). Triple X syndrome, also known as trisomy X and 47 XXX, is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in each cell of a female. Male (♂): 48 XXYY (XXYY syndrome). XXYY syndrome is a sex chromosome anomaly in which males have an extra X and Y chromosome. True intersex is extremely rare and can be life threatening especially when there is interaction between the different hormones produced in the opposing gonadal tissue. There are different types of intersex conditions with mosaic tissue usually being confined to a certain part of the body. Female (♀) or Male (♂) dependant on disorder type: 46 XX/XY mosaic. Different types of mosaicism exist, such as gonadal mosaicism (restricted to the gametes) or tissue or somatic mosaicism. It should be noted that the gametes are only male or female and that androgen hormones effect the way in which male and female brains form in the womb. At the time of birth sexual dimorphism is already set in accordance with chromosome sets. The physiological differences between genders are undeniable biological facts. Attempting to pretend that such differences do not exist is merely childish Further differences arise in the structure and mass of the brain the average weight being about 1370 g in men and about 1200 g in women (Harrison 2003, 25–34). Size does not however effect intelligence as one can note from how the structures interact and the neural connectivity in different brain regions. It is impossible to have a female body with a male brain or visa versa. In one Oxford study, it was shown that several sexually dimorphic characteristics are notable in the human brain. Females were found to have “relative to cerebrum size, greater cortical grey matter volume, larger volumes of regions associated with language functions (e.g. Broca’s area) (…) and white matter involved in interhemispheric connectivity. The number of neurons per unit volume, in the planum temporal, was also greater in women than men”. The same research reported that “compared to women, men have been found to have larger volumes, relative to cerebrum size, or differences in neuronal densities in other limbic and paralimbic regions (i.e. amygdala) (…) and overall white matter volume.” (Goldstein 2001, 490- 497).  An example of difference in male/female brain connectivity Hence, the actual predisposition for aptitude in certain skills may be greater within a certain gender based on brain structure, however, this would not define the gender as being restricted to any particular activity set, only potentially having physiological ad- vantages.
Examples of sexual dimorphism can be seen across human anatomy even as far as the mandibular ramus flexure which differs among males and females, sexual dimorphism is an undebatable fact (Loth & Henneberg 1996, 473–485). It cannot, however, be stated that any of the physiological attributes which are common to a particular gender completely define it. Some girls for example are tomboyish and enjoy playing in mud and running around, climbing and jumping everywhere. Are these then males trapped in female bodies? Some would argue that they are, and yet, these same people would argue a feminist point that behaviour is completely a social construct. Unfortunately one cannot argue that something is completely biological or completely socially constructed and then continue to conflate the two. Either they are linked or they are not. Given that the sequence of DNA will continue to scream out ones real gender/sex and that stable languages structures define male or female pronouns, it cannot be considered offensive to refuse the use of a particular pronoun. The suicide rate for “trans” people taking hormones stands at a disastrous 40% regardless of whether or not they are in an accepting environment or not. Those who have this tenancy and get proper counselling to work through their confusion have considerably lower rates of suicide. One can liken this to a schizophrenic patient who hears voices. With the help of family and proper medication, the patient can receive the attention they need and correct or control the problem leading to a better quality of life. Telling a patient that you hear the voices too will only have a detrimental effect of mentally destabilising them further. The result on their mental and physical health can only be adverse. Normalising the abnormal leads to this mental turmoil not being recognised as something that needs to be addressed and means that these individuals do not have support to recover. Using hormones as a first reaction is will only serve to damage already damaged brain chemistry. The modern trend is to start hormone therapy early without sufficient research even having gone into this problem. Pertinent research is also actively being obstructed by ideologues as is the case with Professor Lisa Littman being blocked from and harassed out of fundamental research at Brown University. Children are not Guinea pigs and yet that is how these ideological groups are treating them. Regrettably, the physiatrists who disagree with this new ideological craze such as Jordan Peterson and Gad Saad are branded as heretics of the scientific world. This labelling of “undesirables” leads to a greater vacuum of free thinking and academic freedom. In essence, squelching free speech. Regardless of what radical ideologues may wish, biology does not bow to ideology. ON CHILDREN AND INDOCTRINATION Education plays a pivotal role in how children develop their understanding of the world and in what type of people they will become. Educational policies are therefore paramount to creating a generation that is of benefit to society. Sadly, children are the main target of many radical ideologues because they have easily malleable minds and can be convinced that morally questionable or even reprehensible behaviour is normal. An example of this can be seen in children being encouraged while being sexualised in drag. The slow process of indoctrination is being introduced into the classroom. “Boy” and “girl” are now micro-aggressions and make students feel “left out”. Now, “gender neutral” terms should be used just in case someone is “gender fluid”. If this were not preposterous enough, children are actively being taught that all matter of things are equally acceptable. Men can be women if they want to and all things are acceptable when people love one another. This kind of indoctrination is extremely damaging to children, as they do not have the mental faculties to even take in half of the information presented to them. It further degrades their understanding of what is acceptable and puts them in greater danger of exploitation and rape by paedophiles. Even today, there are individuals actively presenting paedophilia as a genuine sexual inclination. The breakdown of social morals leads to a festering of debased ideas such as these. There is a difference in teaching children not to do harm to others, playing nice, not bullying and indoctrinating them. These are lessons that can be applied to any situation in life. In addition, inclusion of curriculum that teaches that the basic biological family unit is non-binding is a travesty of the greatest proportions. The overuse of gender neutral pronouns is now finding its way into the teaching of English as a second language. As if learning English was not a challenge in of itself, children now have to take in this ideology along with their language lessons. Children are the target of ideologues for various reasons. Firstly, they lack reasoning skill as and are much influenced or coerced with greater speed than adults. They are also easier to control (Beber). Indoctrination programs can be highly effective as is seen in the cases of the Hitler Youth program in Germany and The Youth Cult in USSR. Both these programs were instrumental in brainwashing the next generation into unquestionably following the desired ideology. Today is no different. Indoctrination always has an innocent starting point. Children are being prepared, the question is for what? Another question that begs answering is whether or not parents will wake up as to what is happening before history begins repeating itself in the vicious circle of previous generations. Parent, do you know who is teaching your children? Do you know what your children are learning? Get to know your children, spend time with them, be patient with them, let them open their heart to you, do not let the internet or television be their teachers or moral guides. Any teacher with even a slight degree of skill can be more than inclusive of anyone in their class regardless of race or gender and does not need policy to dictate what pronouns or ideology should be pushed in the classroom, especially with easily impressionable preteens. ON VIOLENCE All groups and individuals who are willing to use violence to further their ideals or ideologies are repulsive. All violence is deplorable, repugnant and abominable. Using violence to counter ideas one opposes is like using Ebola to cure the plague. Incitement to violence is equally disgusting and encouraging others to hurt fellow humans is beyond vile. Incitement to violence for mere difference in outlook, all the more reprehensible. CONCLUSION Today a pronoun, tomorrow a lesson on an infinity of genders and in a fortnight there is no way of knowing what will be acceptable. I speak in hyperbole yet the seriousness of this conversation is by no means less dire. Education systems are slowly being assimilated into an ideology that will produce a terrible effect on society, not just locally but globally. Education lays the groundwork for advancement or great evil when misused. This pervasive ideology is by its own structure self-destructive and merciless. It is an ideology that opposes thought, reason or understanding as espoused through free speech. It is totalitarian and fractures society by polarising it into combatant forces. The battle for the control of your mind, the creation of a mindless spoon fed and unquestioning drone has begun. The substitution of science and fact with pseudoscience and interpretations of self-declared moral outrage. The declaration that what is abnormal is normal. Up is down and down is up… will you accept it? FURTHER READING Harrison, Paul J.; Freemantle, Nick; Geddes, John R. “Meta-Analysis of Brain Weight in Schizophrenia”.

How do you plead?” It has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword and indeed, for the sword may end a life but the pen through its propaganda power, has spread ideologies that have exterminated millions over the 20th and 21st centuries. Long in our history has there been a desire by certain groups, fuelled by their own sense of infallibility, to dominate those deemed to be morally inferior souls. Alas, for the greatest foe to this totalitarian barbarism is wisdom borne from knowledge. Yet, not “knowledge” as harboured by those of self-righteous worth but knowledge which devours untruth by its sureness and its factual illumination. This is the knowledge that is so despised, for like a mirror it holds a clear reflection of what one really is, whether beneficent or evil and they cannot bear to look upon their own faces. Axioms in time and space cannot be overturned with arguments based on emotions or feelings and hence the scholar who would indulge in these is sure to become a target for those of ill will. Those who have enslaved their mind in cult of ideology, walk around blindly but loudly preach their own clear vision. To them, axioms of universal truth are heretical, a smirch on the name of their mindless ideological fervour. Like in the days of old, their rallying cry is merely to destroy by force and their hoarse calls are only to burn the unbeliever. In reality what more can they do? Their claims cannot be proven and they are shown to be whisperers of empty mist rather than the sages of knowledge they think themselves to be. Some who have original thoughts and some who like Galileo may seem like true heretics in their rejection of the established radical ideology cult of academic doctrine. There have been calls by the faux scholars, those in fields that cannot rightfully be called subjects, nor schools, but rather echo chambers of ideological offal and the dross of true academia to wage a war, nay a crusade on all who dare to think freely. This self-appointed and intellectually deficient Academic Inquisition would dictate by its own terms, that which is sanctioned and that which is not. Not unlike the judges of the Salem Witch Trials they have deemed guilty, without evidence or forethought, all those who would dare partake in the Heresy of Free Thought. Ironically their techniques are not new and are not particularly surprising as they have been used by dictatorships and the worst of human rights abusers in history. On May 10th , 1933 the NAZI Party had a grand bonfire called the burning of the books ( Bücherverbrennung) where all ideas contrary to the diseased NAZI ideology were offered to the sacrificial flames of the NAZI cult. It was not long before they started burning people too.  Infected by the plague of radical ideology, student groups regularly protested and rallied against professors not deemed to uphold the NAZI ideology in order to force them out of office. Universities were annexed by the government and academics were scrutinized and blacklists were made. Professors who refused to stand behind the dictated “racially pure science” were turned upon by the then existing Academic Inquistion and were rewarded with indefinite stays at their local death camp. It was the end of open discourse because nothing that could hurt NAZI feelings were permitted to be discussed. The end of free speech meant the end of academia and about 15% of academics who would not submit to this demonic evil were purged. Does one not see a parallel today? The Soviet Union spurred the rabid dogma of Lenin and Stalin eradicated any free thinker who dared to even the slightest disagreement to their radical ideologies. During the Great Purge intelligentsia were tightly monitored and the lists of the dead, great minds and vast intellects can easily be found. Name upon name upon name. Murdered for refusing to bow to the ideological cult. Need one continue? Are the millions of corpses in the USSR and NAZI Germany not sufficient proof that the worst of ideologies are the ones that want freedom of speech curtailed so that they may indulge themselves in mindless slaughter for their own envisioned greater good? Shall we mention the Khmer Rouge who executed almost every intellectual in the country? No intellectuals, meant that no one could offend the feelings of the Khmer Rouge. How very convenient. The Khmer Rouge were so enthusiastic in eliminating anything potentially offensive that they literally ran out of graves and soil with which to cover their victims.  In Cuba, intelligentsia were either quick to flee, or else executed or imprisoned.
The examples here are by no means exhaustive. There is a undeniable and irrefutable historical pattern where academics are among the first primary targets of totalitarian ideological dictatorships. Blacklisting can only be described as academic terrorism by the Academic Inquisition in their academic right-speak crusade. It is cowardice and admission that one does not posses the mental fortitude with which to counter the viewpoints of others. It is infantile and petty by its very nature. Contrary to the affect desired by the Academic Inquisition, there are more and more professors who refuse to kowtow to this and are in fact more willing to publish with their thoughts after the call to blacklist those who do so. Ironically, various experts in their fields with many authors being in disagreement with each other find this to be a point of agreement, the difference however is in the openness to discuss these differences of opinion in dialogue. Individual academics have been hounded by this Academic Inquisition. Consider only a few…. Professor Jordan Peterson was called a bigot for refusing to follow the totalitarian legislation that sought to impose compelled speech on the population. Professor Gad Saad, an Arab Jew who narrowly escaped the murder of Jews during the Lebanese War and yet, he is called Nazi (which is really a very distasteful thing to call a Jew and a refugee) and bigot because he dares to use his brain and speak out against the current foolishness. Professor Janice Fiamengo, a woman who left feminism after realising it was not all that it was cracked up to be. In many senses she is one of the ultimate heretics because she was once part of the ideology that now wishes to silence all dissenters. Professor Dennis Gouws, faces continued harassment from feminist faculty and radical ideologues for daring to state that not all problems are related to the mythical patriarchy. Doctor Debra Soh, a researcher extraordinaire who has been critical of many of the ideological motivations that run contrary to biological science in regard to “gender” and “sex”. The so called “Intellectual Dark Web” is really a misnomer, because it allows freedom of expression and interchange of academic concepts between individuals who are often in strong disagreement with each other, much like the Heterodox Academy. My sincere advice to any academic who disagrees with another is this, form a logical argument and present ones views as to why any particular academic is “incorrect”. Do not stoop to petty ad hominem attacks. Do not act like a cognitively underdeveloped intellectual infant who throws a tantrum every time someone dares to oppose the views of their ideological echo chamber. Adults are able to have serious conversations because they are mature, how much more so should academics? Where academic free speech falls, logical thinking stops. Where logical thinking stops, ideology prevails. Where ideology prevails, the intelligentsia are lost and we all suffer. History does not need to be repeated nor should it. Safeguard freedom of Speech. Reject the teachings of the Academic Inquisition.  Disclaimer: This article is designed to describe what some originally well intentioned organizations have become or groups that have formed due to unbalanced ideologies. It is not written to describe groups that formed as a self-protection entity and historical groups of such a nature should be further researched and considered within the historical context of their creation. It seems that every time the subject of racism is addressed that many people, filled with righteous indignation or otherwise just indignation, end up talking over each others heads and don’t take a moment to listen to the other side of the argument. A dangerous trend in society is following the path of pre-World War II sentiments with social tendencies becoming extensively polarised. Rarely do those in debates of this type have anything intelligent to say, and even more scarce is the ability of debaters to find a common ground on anything. Hate blinds and stupefies many. Come on a journey with me, the linguist and the last of the critically endangered apolitical social scientists to consider some very important myths and realities of racism. Each point will be broken down into its own subheading for ease of understanding. Sociology is Wrong Sociology defines Racism as the combination of Prejudice and power Power. Therefore, by extension it is impossible for those in the “oppressed” classes, that is to say, those without political or social power, to be racist. This very statement is in fact, in of itself, racist. In a linguistic sense, it seems to suggest a lack of need for accountability on the part of the “oppressed” either because their level of humanity is lesser or greater than the “oppressor”. It removes the freedom of consciousness and degrades the freedom of the person as an individual. Sociology defines people according to their own predefined ideological concepts and structures society into unchangeable castes. Hence, those who are often so outspoken about the evils of social hierarchies are actually responsible for entrapping people in their own form of mental hierarchical prison. Sociological definitions demonize one set group and view any divergence to this rule as a great heresy against the grand school of the Social Justice Warrior. The redefinition of existing vocabulary is far from a new phenomenon, it has been effectively used by the Nazi regime, the USSR and other Soviet systems. Redefining vocabulary is an important step in propaganda because it enables the propagandist to blind their followers, even when the truth is in plain sight. When an indoctrinated person reads words, their “mental vision” is blurred and unable to register reality. It makes sense that language engineering of this type is a central point to any totalitarian ideology as it ensures that the indoctrinated remain indoctrinated, and view every difficulty in life as the result of some universal struggle aimed against them or their group. Racism is not a Monopoly Now that we have seen that sociology has created an erroneous definition, we can come to realise the ultimate, terrifyingly depressing and sad reality, that racism is not a monopoly. Nay, anyone, from any background and any tone of skin ,can in fact, be racist. The proper definition of racism is hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. Another more detailed explanation would be a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. Racism develops in three steps as it mutates from one form to another. It is comparable to a disease (it is in fact a disease of the mind), which produces symptoms that can be identified depending on its severity. Symptom One: Prejudice Prejudice is defined as an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. In reality most people have some degree of prejudice but most people also auto-correct these tendencies and do not allow them to grow. The more an individual digests certain ideologies by means of the company he/she keeps (yes, there are 2 genders) or by means of the types of media he/she consumes the more likely that the individual will build stronger prejudices in line with those ideologies. Prejudice can be very insidious with entire communities taking on the same hive mind regardless of what facts may be. Symptom Two: Tribalism Tribalism is defined as strong loyalty to one’s own tribe, party, or group. This loyalty is often irrational and can take on radical or extreme properties. Fully developed tribalism can be considered a disease in of its own, with the effects being equally as deadly as racism.  The Rwandan Genocide was the result of extreme tribalism. Two modern genocides include tribalistic genocide patterns. The Rwandan genocide saw civilians and military personnel of the Hutu and Tutsi slaughter each other in unbridled barbarity, with no mercy for the weak, elderly, women or children. This is an undeniable example where tribalism lead to indescribable atrocities by which a million people were murdered. The Cambodian genocide while including racial extermination also eradicated political and social “tribes” deemed counter to the Khmer Rouge ideology. Approximately 1.9 million people were exterminated. Symptom 3: Racism Racism is something far more profound than mere prejudice shown in social interactions. It is a deep seated resentment and loathing of a person based on their race, it does not change even when the individual is kind or caring. It is like a mental rabies that does not allow a person to behave with any proper reasoning or cognitive function. This form of racism is found globally in all types of people be they White, Black, Asian or any other phenotype. The racist believes that the other person is inherently inferior or deficient in some manner and therefore not fit for treatment at the same level as themselves. Many racists do not believe themselves to be racist and may even believe themselves to be anti-racist, this type of projected racism is especially dangerous as the person becomes increasingly convinced of their own righteous infallibility. Racist Groups The 20th and 21st centuries saw the rise of heavily racist civil and political movements which fed off historical injustices and in turn off of each other. Interestingly, fitting with the theme of self justification and self conviction of their own superiority and righteousness these groups view themselves as liberation or enlightenment movements, rather than what they are, hate groups. White Supremacy  Aryan Nations, Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi, Skinheads, Phineas Priesthood, Rise Above Movement  Black Supremacy Nation of Islam, The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, Sicarii 1715, Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK), New Black Panthers Asia and Middle East The unique nature of the Asia and the Middle East means that most racist movements are highly organised, well funded and legally based political entities. Genocides such as the Armenian Genocide used religion as an excuse for what was in essence ethnic cleansing of Armenians and Assyrians. Fringe Groups While almost all people have some degree of prejudice, there is a great difference between those who have a mild prejudice inclination and those who practice unbridled racism. Fringe groups are an important part of indoctrinating the “prejudice group” (who may simply be sitting on the fence so to speak as bystanders) and getting them to become part of the “tribalism group”. While these fringe groups may or may not be proponents of hateful rhetoric (often more subtle and insidious) they become fertile recruiting grounds for actual hate groups who prey on the disenfranchised and vulnerable. (It is interesting to note that a majority of terrorist attacks are carried out by brainwashed individuals through the guidance of an extremist “handler” making those in the top ranks difficult to prosecute via lack of explicit evidence). Anti-reactionary rallies become the recruitment grounds for the Klan and other groups sympathetic to Neo-Nazi ideals. BLM rallies become the recruitment grounds for Nation of Islam and other black supremacy groups although the group itself has shown itself to be radical enough in of itself. Women’s marches become the recruitment grounds of radical feminists and their kin. This pattern continues and there is little done to prevent it, logistically little can be done due to the large number of people attending such rallies. Propaganda outlets publish this hate for impressionable youngsters or those suffering from economic or other woes. They blame everything on the invisible enemy. The first step is highly polarised news channels which lean strongly towards a specific argument such as FOX News or the CNN (this happens during the prejudice and tribalism stages) . Once an individual no longer feels the same moral outrage at watching these channels they may move on to consume more hard-line “news” from such sources as Stormfront or The Root (happens during the racist stage). Why Racist Groups Need Each Other Racist groups need each other. They are a validating factor in the twisted, hate-filled, pseudoscientific and debased propaganda with which they indoctrinate their followers. The deplorable actions of their enemies helps to validate the “superiority and righteousness” of their own deplorable actions. It strengthens the power of their propagandist rhetoric in recruiting individuals that may previously been “unconvinced” as to the “validity” of their position. This is a vicious circle that feeds off anger, hatred and disproportionate pride in oneself and one’s people. It is essential that parents start to train their children to understand the concepts presented in the media and that they may hear at school are invalid and that the “oppressed/oppressor” narratives of these groups is entirely self serving. This is all the more important where the individual lives in areas where these sentiments are more prevalent. Children are not born racist, they learn racism and care should be taken by parents that the sentiments that they themselves display are validating to members of all races and that individuals are judged as individuals not on their “tribal” or “racial” background. If you do not teach your children, you can be sure that someone else will and not positively. Conclusion All people are in some ways prejudiced but control those thoughts and reject them. As such, all people regardless of race have the potential to be racist, but that does not by nature make them racist. We all do well to examine ourselves and look in the mirror to see what we really are. After self reflection, are you satisfied with who you really are?  Character not Colour An Analysis of Child Indoctrination, Grooming and Exploitation on Youtube by Radical Ideologues1/11/2021  Radical Ideologies are numerous and it appears that as time continues such ideologies only continue to multiply. Sadly, one aspect of modern society, namely the internet, has been the catalyst for the proliferation of violent, debased and mentally damaging ideologies rooted in either dogma or sections of the humanities that are both pseudoscientific and devoid of academic rigor. Of course “pseudoscientific and devoid of academic rigor” may be understood as a mere opinion, however proof of this fact will be shown. This article will focus feminist LGBT indoctrination. The analysis will cover the work of s the creator of a Youtube channel aimed at children called “Queer Kid Stuff”. The creator claims that the channel is aimed at everyone “from 3 year old’s to your grandma”. An underlying theme of the channel is that even very young children are mature enough to understand the complexities of behavior and that they understand human sexuality. As disturbing as this may appear from the outset, the argument is also scientifically void. (This will be discussed in further detail. The Subject of Analysis also has a personal Youtube channel which is more reflective of her personal thoughts. In a 5.32 minute video entitled “Are all Kids Queer” (published on July 9th, 2015) she makes the statement that “I think that all kids are actually just real queer”. She backs up this claim with “evidence” given from a branch of Feminist Theory called Queer Theory/Studies specifically the “Theory of the Queer Child” which was enunciated by Kathryn Bond Stockton in her book “The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century”. This “Theory” is in scientific terms not a theory. The actual definition of a theory is “a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena”. This means that a hypothesis which is essentially conjecture can only become a theory, that is to say, a potentially credible point of further experimentation, once it has enough supporting evidence based on testing. To be considered a theory, it must therefore be coherent, tested and commonly accepted. “The Theory of the Queer Child” lacks this foundation and is at best a pseudo-theory. A Lack of Scientific FoundationFurther understanding of the concepts in “The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century” show a self-undermining logic. This book draws heavily on Freudian concepts which have been disproved and are no longer accepted in the psychological profession as being valid in any capacity for understanding the human mind nor in therapy. The book “Psychology: An Introduction” states: “Independent studies have begun to converge toward a verdict that was once considered a sign of extremism or even of neurosis: that there is literally nothing to be said, scientifically or therapeutically, to the advantage of the entire Freudian system or any of its component dogmas…………………… the more outlandish ideas we will discuss in coming pages: the childhood psychosexual stages, the “family drama” of sexual jealousy between small children and their parents, and Freud’s theories about causes of adult neurosis. None is supported by evidence-based research.”- (Dewey) Freudian ideas are so riddled with outright falsehoods and fabrications (Hall) that they hold no benefit in attempting to understand behavior and it should be interesting to note that Freud never published a comprehensive model of child cognitive behavioral development. Freud can be argued to not only be pseudoscientific but actually anti-scientific. Lindsay Amer mirrors Freudian concepts by claims that “innocence is an adult concept that is kinda put on children” she also agrees with the now debunked Freudian concept that “all children are sexual”. She further makes comments such as “Most kids relationship with money is the weekly allowance and I think that makes kids really queer”. This is pure conjecture and speculation because there are no interacting variables that link access to money or lack thereof to sexual preferences. Recognised Cognitive Development TheoriesWhat does the academic evidence point to? Cognitive development hypotheses have continued to evolve through the ability to understand and quantify behaviors more clearly through scientific method based empirical evidence. Children should not be considered miniature versions of adults (WHO). They are anabolic and in the process of building a body. The brain is actively growing and various motor sensory and cognitive regions of the brain are actively being shaped at this time. The growth continues from prenatal to until about 10 years of age which is the general point where brain maturation begins (Arian et al). The process of maturation is very gradual and they brain can be considered mature or adult at about 24 to 25 years of age. This would therefore debunk the idea that children are capable of understanding sexual concepts. While the idea of sex; male and female is understood by ages 4 or 5, there is no evidence to suggest any abstract understanding of “gender” as proposed by feminist theories. The computational power of the brain is simply not sufficient for the decoding of such abstract ideas, the younger the child the less this capability will be. This would mean in a natural state, behaviours can be imprinted on children making them especially susceptible to long term damage as a result of exposure to sexual content or abuse which they are psychologically unable to process. Contrary to the faux science theories proposed by Linsday Amer namely that innocence is an “adult construct”, the Luring Communication Theory (Loreen et al) clearly demonstrates that children are in fact “innocent” and that this trait is taken advantage of by pedophiles who “communicatively groom and entrap the child into accepting sexual advances” often through attempting to normalize such deviant behaviour. The concept of normalization of sexual behavior through “grooming” which is essentially the exposure to sexual concepts and ideas that children are not cognitively capable of understanding is one that is clearly used on “Queer Kids Stuff”. In essence, online sources such as “Queer Kids Stuff” are a form of digital predation and grooming. It serves only to confuse children into thinking of themselves as being “gay” for “loving” a member of the same sex when in actual fact the coded meaning of “love” is understood by children only as “affection” and not as the intended meaning of “a desire for sexual intercourse”. Children then believe that they must feel a certain way because the like or “love” their friends, such confusion can lead to long term harm and put children at increased risk of being predated upon by pedophiles. The biology of the brain in accord with age has also been noted in a number of cognitive development models which only serve to highlight the inability of children to understand abstract concepts such as sexuality. Piaget’s stages of cognitive development: Shows that early childhood thinking is nonlogical and irreversible. Imagination develops at this stage and children are not stable in a constant reality. In the childhood stage children start to become familiar with concepts such as size and volume. (Huitt & Hummel) The video below shows a child of normal cognitive ability as per his age. Note the as yet undeveloped sense of volume and space. (Please watch at least part of the video to fully understand before continuing your reading). It is illogical to think that a child who is unable to understand a basic concept such as volume would be able to understand sexuality or gender theories.
Erickson’s psychosocial stages: Using this model it has been demonstrated that early childhood experiences can have a strong effect on later developmental stages. (Christiansen & Palkovitz) This means that exposure to elements for which children are psychologically unready have the potential for long term damaging effects. Vygotsky’s Cognitive model: The concept of scaffolded learning to avoid over exposure of children to concepts for which they are not cognitively ready and to build knowledge in increments are both derived from Vygotsy’s model. (Berk & Winsler). This model give emphasis to proper teaching as opposed to brainwashing. None of the cognitive development models incorporate that children understand sexuality from a young age nor do they allow for the processing of highly abstract ideas. This further demonstrates the complete lack of scientific basis and the great potential hazard of content like “Queer Kids Stuff” on young and growing minds that are unable to separate fantasy from reality. Youtube’s Child Protection Policy Flaws and RecommendationsYoutube’s Child Protection Policy seems to be a simple legal façade. As of the 12th of February 2020 the channel “Queer Kids Stuff” is still operational. Although Lindsay Amer has deceased from creating content, she made it known that she would continue from 2020 and went as far as suing Youtube for “discrimination”. Unfortunately, the content on the channel is still accessible to children regardless of strong backlash as to the inappropriateness of the channel from those using the platform including a majority of individuals who self-identified as homosexual. The Youtube Child Protection policy states: “What this policy means for you If you’re posting content: Don’t post content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions below. • Sexualization of minors: Sexually explicit content featuring minors and content that sexually exploits minors. We report content containing child sexual abuse imagery to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who work with global law enforcement agencies. • Harmful or dangerous acts involving minors: Content showing a minor participating in dangerous activities or encouraging minors to do dangerous activities. Never put minors in harmful situations that may lead to injury, including dangerous stunts, dares, or pranks. • Infliction of emotional distress on minors: Content that could cause minor participants or viewers emotional distress, including: • Exposing minors to mature themes • Simulating parental abuse • Coercing minors • Violence • Misleading family content: Content that targets young minors and families, but contains: • Sexual themes • Violence • Obscenity or other mature themes not suitable for young audiences • Family friendly cartoons that target young minors and contain adult or age-inappropriate themes such as violence, sex, death, drugs etc. Make sure your titles, descriptions, and tags match the audience you are targeting. You can also age restrict your content upon upload if it’s intended for mature audiences.” There is no question that “Queer Kids Stuff” is a violation of Youtubes terms. All parts of the channel can be accessed by children even though the themes are clearly adult. Some of said themes include: UNICORNS are QUEER HORSES!! — Queer: QUEER KID STUFF B is for BISEXUAL! — LGBT: QUEER KID STUFF HE, SHE, and THEY?!? — Gender: QUEER KID STUFF #2 T is for TRANS! — Transgender: QUEER KID STUFF #12 NO MORE GENDER ROLES!! — QUEER KID STUFF #29 CALLING ALL EDUCATORS! — Just 4 Grown Ups: QUEER KID STUFF 5 TIPS for making your classroom QUEER-INCLUSIVE! — Just 4 Grown Ups: QUEER KID STUFF The show is designed in a manner to appeal to children which violates Youtube’s terms on adult and sexual content aimed at minors. It is unclear why these videos have not yet been investigated by authorities and removed from Youtube. Further violations of policy include homosexual story animations which fall under the category of “Family friendly cartoons that target young minors and contain adult or age-inappropriate themes”. The channel also feature what should be considered child exploitation material in the form of publicizing “Desmond is Amazing” a child drag “star”. As Drag is the sexualization of a male into a female form, as such the sexualized connotation of such behavior, while the choice of an adult, is inappropriate for children. Featuring and encouraging a child such as this, who has other mental health issues, can only be considered a form of child sexual exploitation* for the purpose of money. There is also a risk that other children will attempt to imitate this harmful behavior which exposes them to a higher risk of predation. Failure to regulate this channel in accord with its own child protection policies means that Youtube is compliant with such behavior. *“Desmond is Amazing” has already been the victim of child exploitation where he danced in a gay bar and had money thrown at him. Needless to say this is borderline child prostitution. Part of the weak response on the part of Youtube may come as a result of poor vocabulary choice in the construction of its child protection policy. The policy requires the exploitation to be “explicit” and as such is inadequate for protecting vulnerable children. It is highly recommended that the policy be revised and redrafted to avoid loopholes in the language which can be used by child predators to continue to “legally” post harmful content. To do so it is important to seek professional advice from policy makers and child psychologists of a wide background to avoid ideological bias or the formation of clichés that can influence and blindside effective policy creation (Silander). In the meantime Youtube moderators should urgently review and remove the contents of “Queer Kids Stuff” but also other related child exploitation material. Law Enforcement RecommendationsGiven the nature of the contents and the views of its creators it is recommended that their potential risk to children be thoroughly evaluated. The behavior, speech patterns and logic share common traits that have been linked to pedophilia. Do they have access to vulnerable minors? Are they in a position where they are able to exploit minors? Are they limited from interaction with minors? Recommendations for ParentsChildren should not be left unmonitored on even “trusted” platforms such as Youtube. The risk of potential exposure to damaging material continues to increase and parents are encouraged to train their children to tell them if they feel something is strange. It is recommended that the younger the child the more care parents take in filtering content. Electronic devices are not a substitute for communication and limiting the time that children spend on electronic devices is desirable. YOUTUBE has to date not removed the channel.

Why? The very idea of genocide is both repulsive to anyone who believes that an individual should be judged on personal merit as well as the concept of “ethnic cleansing” being offensive to every person in their right mind with even the most basic moral virtue. Yet, another question can be asked that will show what you really feel about genocide. Do you support abortion? The answer of “yes” displays that you as an individual support not only the basic concepts of genocide and the machine that created the events leading up to the Holocaust, including the massacre of “undesirable and inferior races” during the Third Reich, but also of the subjugation and destruction of native peoples globally. In reality the programme of the mass extermination of coloured races was pushed by the proponents of Eugenics. While it may be true that certain races have biological advantages due to particular phenotypic traits, it cannot be said that any race shows overall genetic superiority to another. Advantages of a certain phenotype have application only within the natural developmental zone of the said phenotype. For example, the melanin in dark skin enables the person to be more resistant to various types of damaging solar radiation as is commonly found at the equator and arid regions. In the extreme North and South, light skin becomes advantageous due to the more efficient conversion of vitamin D as it reacts with solar radiation and transforms into the organic molecule of vitamin D3. Dark skin is a biological disadvantage in these zones as it inhibits the reaction of vitamin D and thus can lead to vitamin D deficiency. The advantage is therefore only applicable to the region in question and does not affect the persons value as an individual. Eugenics takes this interpretation of regional phenotypes to an extreme, claiming that certain phenotypic genetic expressions make a person either inferior or superior as a whole. This naturally produces a concept of an elite or “master” race which is “fit” to rule over the “inferior” and “subhuman races”. If indeed then, these “lesser” races are subhuman it would stand to reason that they would be on par with animals, and thus, could be eradicated in much the way that a feral animal is disposed of if it cannot serve some purpose to the one whom captures it. Eugenics became the demonic tool used by true racists, elite slave owners who despised not only the coloured races but also the poor who they thought to be an affront to their own superior genetics. This merciless view that degraded people to the level of an animal, meant that any cruelty was permissible because the “feebleminded morons ” were only of value when they could be used by these elitists.  The American Eugenics Society worked in close association with various racist groups and was fed with a large dose of Darwin’s theory of evolution. Little beknown to the modern public, Darwin’s “The Origin of the Species” had a significantly different title during its first printing, but which was removed in following editions. The original title was “On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”. Darwin stated “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world…. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state…and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla”. (1890)  Francis Galton Keen to use Charles Darwin’s ideas of genetic superiority was his cousin, Francis Galton. The idea of steering “human evolution” by means of eugenics was greatly appealing to Galton and this can be seen from his views of anything other than his own race. In an article he wrote entitled “Negroes and the Slave Trade” he clearly outlined is views “I do not join in the belief that the African is equal in brain or in heart ………and I believe we have an equal right to utilize them to our advantage”. To Galton, the Black race was to be permitted to exist only to the extent to which they could be used as labour, once they outlived their usefulness, they became obsolete and expendable, after all as he expressed in his own view “…average Negroes possess too little intellect for self-reliance”. At first, eugenicists wished that the white population would create so many children that they would simply overwhelm the “coloured” population by sheer numbers, however that plan failed. The eugenicists knew that they could not possibly round up all the Blacks in America at that time and that trying to do so would likely lead to massive revolts, so instead they created a plan for mass extermination which the Blacks could voluntarily submit to, this was done in the guise of healthcare, essentially an experimental mass racial self-extermination programme. To convince the Black population to depopulate themselves, a feminine touch was needed, someone who had enough hatred for the Black race to wish for their extermination but with skills to market that extermination as something that was for the public good. The person for that job was with a coal hearted, manipulating old hag called Margaret Sanger.  Margret Sanger In her 1921 article “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda” Margret Sanger wrote: “The eugenic and civilization value of birth control is becoming apparent to the enlightened and the intelligent…. The campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of eugenics”. She went on to espouse her ideas at a Ku Klux Klan rally at Silverlake in New Jersey in 1926, in her autobiography she bragged that her speech was so moving to the Klan that she was invited to speak at 12 following rallies across the country. Her view of the poor and the Black race was unmistakable, “We are paying for and even submitting to the dictates of an ever increasing unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.” In 1927 Margaret Sanger organized the World Population Conference in Geneva, Switzerland which features guests such as Eugene Fischer an American doctor and eugenicist who was later in charge of sterilization and eradication of Black populations in all territories that fell to the NAZIs.  Harry Laughlin Harry Laughlin, an official in the American Eugenics Society and the American Birth Control League attempted to distribute an English version of a NAZI eugenics film that he had received from the Race Policy Office of the NAZI party. For his efforts he was praised and received an honorary degree from the University of Heidelberg.  Frederick Osborn Frederick Osborn a founding member of the American Eugenics Society, later wrote “Eugenics goals are most likely attained under a name other than eugenics”. The NAZI affiliation had caused the idea of eugenics to become something abhorrent to every individual with moral sense. Undeterred and in line with the propaganda techniques used in Hitler’s Third Reich, the American Birth Control League underwent a metamorphosis in name only….. words like population “control” were replaced with less threatening terms like “planning” and the organization changed its name to Planned Parenthood in 1942. Planned Parenthood attempts to hide these historical facts in order to mask their real agenda of genocide in the 21st century. Margaret Sanger is defended as not being a racist child murdering eugenicist hag, but rather, as a woman who merely wanted to help other women. The reality is that she is listed as a member in the American Eugenics Society list of supporters until 1956. When the contraceptive pill was first released in America, Planned Parenthood jumped at the idea of using it as a means to cut the Black population, however, to their dismay the Black population did not take to the idea, which became more popular among Whites. In 1970 a Louisiana State Judge by the name of Leander Perez made the statement that would become the essential motto for abortionists, “The best way to hate a nigger (sic) is to hate him before he’s born”. In line with these vile words, the tool that Planned Parenthood and the eugenics movement would latch onto would prove the most successful in their attempts to eradicate the Black race, Abortion. Since 1973, not including illegal abortions, only those deemed legal, abortions have resulted in the death of more Black Americans than the combined totals of HIV, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and violent crime. Black women account for 37 percent of abortions in America although they make up only 12 percent of the total population. The aforementioned Frederick Osborn (Founding member of the American Eugenics Society started celebrating in 1973 by stating that “Birth control and abortion are turning out to be the great eugenic advances of our time”. Abortion has become what the Ku Klux Klan can only dream of, killing the same amount of Black people in four days as what the Ku Klux Klan have killed in 150 years, and doing so of their own free will. It should come as no surprise that Planned Parthood and other child murdering clinics are concentrated in locales with minority populations.  Clarence Gamble These facts have been carefully hidden from the public, Margaret Sanger knew what would happen if the general population were to become wise to the real genocidal reasons for Planned Parenthoods existence, she confided in a fellow eugenicist Clarence Gamble, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members”.
Ironically, Clarence Gamble was an heir to the Procter and Gamble fortune and it comes as no surprise that this company which owns Gillette would take advantage of their products and advertising propaganda to further radical feminist ideologies of misandry, which continue to fuel a hatred of men but more importantly an ideology that fuels abortions. Gamble was a strong supporter of forced sterilization of the “feeble minded” Black population and went as far as saying that they would only continue to pollute future generations with their defective genes. This same ideology is used today in targeting people with Down’s Syndrome and other genetic anomalies for eradication. Due to the religious nature of many Black communities, Planned Parenthood planted pastors who has been bribed into giving sermons on the wonders of eugenics to their communities and even offered prizes for the best pro-eugenics sermons. This was an effort to remove the conscience of the Black people and convince them to submit to this genocidal self-extermination. The aims of this programme were extended to other minority groups too. Secretary of the state, Henry Kissinger personally helped set up abortion counseling for Vietnamese refugees in Camp Pendleton even though the majority of the refugee population vigorously opposed abortion. Today, this genocide continues to run and extend globally based on the American model of pro-NAZI eugenics supporters like Margaret Sanger and her collaborators. Spurred on by feminist movements that sugar coat the issue as a women’s rights matter, this socially destructive and murderous movement has resulted in the slaughter of minorities with unrivalled barbarity. Women have been brainwashed into thinking that abortions are painless for the child being killed and blinded to the health risks that they themselves face. Apart from the murder of a child there are numerous common complications that endanger the life of the mother who undergoes an abortion. Uterine and cervical damage, breast cancer, placenta previa, pelvic inflammatory disease, Post-Abortion syndrome, depression, ectopic pregnancy to name but a few, and in some cases death. Feminism and abortion clinics have become an insult to every female on the planet, using them as human meat farms so that companies like Planned Parthood can harvest the body parts and stem cells of aborted children. Stem Express, an affiliate of Planned Parthood has already been indicated as having committed felony level crimes in the dealing of fetal body parts and organs. Naïve women are paying for the butchery of their own children, while money hungry companies make double profits off their corpses. This ideology has proven successful far beyond its original scope. Corrupt doctors are keen to cash in on this potential change in law, willing to defecate on the Hippocratic Oath they have taken and willing to destroy life instead of preserve it. This violent and abhorrent ideology will pollute Korean society and undermine its very social fabric. To support abortion is to support genocide. To support abortion is to support the ideology of Hitler’s Third Reich. To support abortion is to support eugenics. To support abortion is to support the denial of human rights to the world’s most vulnerable people. To support abortion is to support murder. Do you support genocide? Only you know the answer to that question.  (Disclaimer for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders: The follow article contains images of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders) Colourful clothes, exotic dishes, unique hairstyles and ethnic jewellery. What do all of these have in common? Well, for one thing most of them are beautiful, interesting and give a feeling of satisfaction to many people. However, given the right (or should I say wrong) circumstances, they can also land one in considerable hot water. Yes, you are the vile individual who has “stolen” from another culture by your “cultural appropriation”. Just so you know, you are a terrible person…. Yet, the question begs asking; “What is cultural appropriation?” The actual term was apparently coined by Kenneth Coutts‐Smith in 1976 and the original use was somewhat more limited than today’s concept. To understand this concept consider several points, the history of cultural interactions, what cultural appropriation is and what cultural appropriation is not. A Brief History of Cultural Interactions Cultures have been interacting for as far back as linguists can trace recorded languages. A sterling example of this being the Rosetta Stone which lead to a deep understanding of many cultures in the Near East, Middle East and Mediterranean. Even today, much of the technology you take for granted is likely borrowed from another culture. For those in rural areas, the horse is often an essential part of farming and agriculture, yet the modern design of the saddle along with the stirrup was readily borrowed from the Mongolians and revolutionised the way these animals were utilised. Go back further to an invention that no modern day race or culture is likely to be able to lay claim to. The humble wheel. Simple, and yet, none of our civilisations could continue to exist without it…. New technologies have been traded and blatantly copied for millennia. Copper became all the rage and was superior to stone or flint, then iron was adopted and spread readily through multiple civilisations, those who weren’t quick to take up its use were speedily subjugated. Assimilation of the strong points of another culture was not only something that better equipped one’s own culture but became a prerequisite for survival. Time and again civilisations that became “culturally stagnant” or in other words, too proud to adopt from “lesser cultures” were overthrow and all but razed by those deemed inferior. Rome, festering in its own illustrious power, wealth and debauchery did nothing as the outskirts of its territory slowly but surely fell to “barbarians”. Instead of learning from and utilising the Gothic tactics, Rome stuck to its “superior” methods as well as resorting to wanton cruelty only to fall to Alaric I on August 24th of 410. Similarly, the Qing dynasty was slow to adopt modernisation and its people suffered greatly from the then undesirable influences brought by the British Empire and Meiji era Imperial Japan. Interchange of cultures and ideas mean adaptation and continued survival when those adaptations are made in the correct direction. What is Cultural Appropriation and what isn’t? In recent times almost any use of emblems, designs, traditional features, music or anything else designated as part of a culture to which one does not belong can be construed as “cultural appropriation”. While the stated intention by vigilantes is to “protect” minorities, the reality is that psychologically the effect of playing “the cultural appropriation card” can be far more damaging than beneficial. Take into consideration a little girl who wants to have a Hawaiian themed party during the summer holidays. Her mother prepares some very cliché grass skirts and other stereotypically Hawaiian themed items. She may or may not include something educational related to Hawaii and its people. To call this cultural appropriation would not only be absurd it could be damaging to the child. How so? Imagine that the party continues, everything goes smoothly, but then this girls enjoyment and immersion in faux Hawaii leads her to become mesmerized by it. She starts to watch more shows and documentaries as well as read books on the subject. She learns the sad truths about its history and the damage to its environment. As she grows she decides to help not only the people there but also develops a way to help reduce coral bleaching. All started by a cliché Hawaiian party that a child could understand at her age. Now consider another scenario. Another mother loudly complains about how this is cultural appropriation, makes a huge scene and ruins the party. That same young girl’s memory of Hawaii becomes anything but positive. She loses interest in the subject all together, does not do anything in the previous scenario and lives an uneventful life working in a dead end job. Sometimes well intentioned individuals are more of an annoyance to minorities than regular folk who just get on with life. Most of my friends do not enjoy being “defended” from compliments based on ethnic features or clothes nor genuine questions of interest about their cultures even if they are pretty stereotypical sometimes. Stereotypical questions can serve as a lever to explaining more about a culture and correcting inaccurate or downright erroneous ideas. The moral of the story is to treat people as people regardless of their race, ethnicity or culture. I have literally lost count of times when people ask about my accent and where I am from, when I reply “Africa” the common response is “…but you’re white” which then allows me to explain about my background. Yes, I am a minority too. Therefore, the cultural appropriation that Social Justice Warriors insist on, does not really exist, it is a fallacy and a polarising force fuelled by virtue signalling rather than an actual sincere concern for the people. So, if cultural appropriation does not exist then everything is fine and rosy and we can all just get on with our lives, right? Not really, because something far worse than cultural appropriation exists, cultural exploitation. Take for example the art created by the Australian Aboriginals. This form of art is usually passed on by one generation to another and the recipes for making different colours from natural materials and pigments are often a closely guarded secret . For these reasons, genuine works of Australian Aboriginal art can be worth many thousands of dollars. This art form provides individual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with an income but also affects the communities that they live in. Sadly, cheap imitations which hold no cultural value have flooded the marketplace. One could be forgiven for purchasing these, of course, when they are marketed as imitations. When marketed as “Aboriginal Art” though, consumers are often deceived into thinking of the item as something genuine, this acts to damage the marketplace where Aboriginal individuals can actually sell their art works. This is an example of cultural exploitation which is often done by large conglomerates which market low quality souvenirs as “genuine” . Another way in which they can be exploited is by signing art contracts which take advantage of their vulnerable situation and pay them far below what is reasonable or even legal.  (PHOTO: Aboriginal artists Maringka Tunkin, Freda Brady and Yaritji Tingila Young from Tjala Arts in Alice Springs. (ABC News: Nick Hose)) Then we have the example of remote tribes which welcome guests to experience their way of life. No problem there, very educational and potentially good for the tribes’ people. However, many companies that organise tours to such locations charge exorbitant prices while providing an unfairly small portion of the profits to the communities where they run their operations or to individuals that they hire as guides, etc.
Braiding your hair, wearing an ethnic necklace or sporting a rather stereotypical look does not damage minority communities and are expressions of interest in another’s culture, however, paying unfair prices to indigenous peoples or purchasing items marketed as “genuine” when they are not, is a very damaging form of cultural exploitation Fair trade often helps to create better working environments for indigenous peoples and improves their conditions of living. Therefore, when looking for a “proper” or “authentic” experience, it would be good to consider purchasing free trade items than can guarantee that an ethical price has been paid. So what should you do? Enjoy all cultures just as you would enjoy different food which adds a sense of satisfaction to your life. Ask many questions, read books, watch documentaries and why not go the extra mile and learn another language if you really want to immerse yourself. Try to support companies that really support their indigenous workers by free trade programs. See people as people and treat them accordingly. I speak multiple languages and have enjoyed what many would call “cultural appropriation” for a long, long time. I have only ever experienced positive reactions from people when they noticed me wearing something from their culture, reading a book in their language or being able to eat strongly flavoured delicacies. Go ahead, immerse yourself! |
