The pursuit of centralized power makes common ground impossible.
Inspired by the notion of “women coming together for a greater good”, the young London mother sent in her membership fee. Full of anticipation, Pizzey attended her first group meeting only to see her hopes crushed: “There were posters of women waving guns on the walls and posters of Mao,” she recalled. “Communism was not what I expected or wished for, so I was upset from the start.”
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Disgusting behaviour, but it is great to see the University of Sussex defending her right to academic freedom and condemning the behaviour of the far left activists.
These are postmodernist neo-Marxist thugs claiming to be motivated by ‘Trans rights’. This is reminding me of when far-right groups such as the EDL and Britain First claim to be motivated by ‘protecting children’. Sounds good but naa, we see what you’re doing.
Anyway, Kathleen Stock’s excellent and empathetic book ‘Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism’ is listed in our Recommended Reading section here – BrandX.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE BELOW ARTICLE:
– Kathleen Stock, 48, has been branded a ‘transphobe’ by outraged students
– She is an expert in gender and sexual orientation at the University of Sussex
– Posters up in tunnel leading to campus say she ‘makes trans students unsafe’
– Scores of people have been criticising her under hashtag #ShameOnSussexUni
– But university is standing by her and is ‘extremely concerned’ by ‘harassment’
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: It goes without saying that the reports and videos of random violence used against the Asian/Chinese people, reported earlier in 2021, have been vile. As a survivor of domestic violence myself, it is hard to watch this kind of thing.
The narrative however, that this was carried out by the ‘big bad cis straight white man’ didn’t seem to align with the statistical data though. This has made me dubious as to what the true agenda was behind the #stopasianhate movement earlier in 2021.
I suspect that the answer lies in there having been anticipation of a growing awareness amongst people giving more serious re-consideration of the Wuhan lab leak theory. One way to to shut down this kind of public wrongthink and discussion would be to associate any criticism of the Chinese government with these Asian hate based attacks.
Similarly, criticising the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in general can then also be equated to crimes of hate against the Chinese people.
Should one state concerns that the CCP is militarily expansionist, totalitarian in its politics and economics, externally aggressive, internally repressive and increasingly interfering in democratic societies… then you might be a hater too. That’s how that works – BrandX.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE BELOW ARTICLE:
The stickers feature a popular video game character/meme accompanied by text that reads ‘CHINA KINDA SUS.’
Conservative leaders on campus are pushing back against the accusations and criticizing the university’s handling of the situation.
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO: Counterweight is a very valuable organisation right now. I have had dealings myself personally and can confidently state that they the real deal. Video description continues below – BrandX.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION
“In this week’s podcast, we speak with Steven Welliever a former STEM teacher, now construction worker, who has dedicated his time to revealing the problems with critical theory in K-12 education. Steve shares with us tips and insights that help parents reveal hidden ideological agendas, become their own educational investigators, and combat critical theory and Marxist indoctrination in the classroom. All discussed with a chaser of civility, of course, and a homemade ginger beer and a Bloody Mary.”
Washington state health officials acknowledged on Tuesday that the otherwise healthy woman died due to blood clotting complications following a COVID-19 vaccine.
On Wednesday, after West Virginia and Nebraska had already indicated they would not comply, Missouri state treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick asserted, “I will stand up to this government overreach and protect the privacy of those account holders. Turning over their transaction data to the federal government is illegal under Missouri law and a gross violation of Missourians’ expectation of privacy when it comes to their personal financial records. I will not turn this information over to the IRS voluntarily and will fight in court to block any attempt by the federal government to compel my office to comply with this mandate.”
After discussing the two Democrat holdouts whose votes are needed to pass the bill, Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, co-host Sara Haines suggested a possible compromise to bring the price tag of the bill down: Well, one thing though that Senator Manchin is doing that I actually agree on, which we’re not hearing as much about the nuance of the pushback, one of the things he's talking about is the free community college tuition, he believes we don't need to make it free for everyone across the board, we should make that somewhat need based, because to hand out college to just everyone, you could lower that price tag by saying, if you prove you need it then of course you can have it.
“I used to spend $70 a week, but all of sudden this summer, I noticed that I couldn’t leave the store without spending at least $120,” said Allison, who works in education.
Biden is taking heat for appointing Nebraska Democrat Party Black Caucus chairwoman Precious McKesson to the DOE this week. McKeeson is also a loud supporter of the anti-white, black power ideas of the Critical Race Theory school curricula that so many parents are protesting across the nation.
