How an act of politeness transforms into submission to authoritarian diktats

This event is too big, too important to put in a news links post. What an amazing example of how this whole system was meant to work from day one. From gay marriage to global warming to mass migration into Western nations by people who intend to destroy every aspect of who and what we are as a people, a history, a culture and a nation of laws. And mostly of course, individual rights.

Students suspended from Canadian high school for refusing to wear rainbow poppy

This is how “inclusion” becomes a Habermassian imposed consensus and forces everything we are to become its own opposite.

To understand what we are looking at here, we need an expert:

We see this now more and more often. An important symbol gets transformed into its own opposite, or if not its opposite, into something anathema to what its own meaning is. Acceptance is demanded for the new meaning of the symbol in the name of “tolerance”.

A phoney consensus is then applied to societal institutions saying that the original meaning is racist, and now everyone must not only accept the new dialectically twisted meaning of a once important symbol with a very specific meaning, but force will be applied to all to become a vector of this new symbol, and hey presto! Your culture is negated.

“Aufheben der Kultur” in a few easy steps.

The 17-year-old cousin of a former Conservative MP hopeful in the 2019 federal election and her friend have apparently been suspended from Stonewall Collegiate for refusing to wear a rainbow poppy.

 

Cyara Bird of the Little Black River First Nation, who was on the ballot for the Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding of northern Manitoba this past election, took to Twitter tonight to express her anger after learning her cousin and another student had both been suspended for “hate speech” after rejecting the idea that rainbow poppies should replace the traditional red-and-black ones worn during their school’s Remembrance Day performance.

The young woman, who is half African-Canadian, asked instead to wear the red-and-black poppy traditional to the festivities, finding the rainbow poppy “disrespectful” to the World War 2 veterans in her family. Upon expressing her opinion, she and another student who shared her sentiment were sent to the principal’s office. According to Bird, the girl’s parents were not notified until after the suspension was applied.

This may not be a terrorist attack, but this is exactly what terrorist attacks are done to achieve. And therefore, this is considerably more important.

  1. Canada is moving further to the left, they are attacking all traditional symbols of patriotism and punishing all who dare stand up to their tyranny. The actions of the left show that they think they have enough power to crush all opposition to their Marxist agenda, the time is rapidly approaching when everyone will have to choose a side in the civil war the left is fomenting. You will have to choose because the left won’t let anyone remain neutral, you support them or you are punished the punishment will increase in severity and will probably include Canada building detention camps.

    At least (for now) we are still free to complain about Leftist totalitarianism on a tiny portion of the internet.
    For now.

  3. Thank you Major. The Left has stolen , then weaponized , so much of our language. The adjective “gay” being the first to come to mind. Now our cross is being equated to the Nazi swastika and the spectrum of light that we humans miraculously perceive as color signifies a union of two humans that will never reproduce……

    • This will sound like a joke but Im serious. Add forcing the Metric system into common use. And yes, I can explain.
