These are huge indicators of how far down the Hegelian/Marxist rabbit hole we really are. First, good news/bad news. A Canadian court has determined that a straight man, a man who prefers having sexual relations with a woman instead of anything else, was indeed discriminated against by his employer and passed up for promotion because the most important thing about being an executive at the CIBC (Major Canadian Bank) is that you like to have sex with anything other than what will produce offspring in the act. Much like crossing many busy roads in Canada now, or watching Netflix, the most important thing about just about everything is men indulging sexual urges with other men, and women with women.
Its good that the court sided with this employee, although I suspect that because he has an Indian sounding name, it had more to do with politically correct poker (H/T Ezra Levant) then it does with the merits of the case. Merit overall got flushed when reason was replaced with Marxism, but in this case the two seem to go hand in hand for a mile or so.
A federal court has sided with a former CIBC employee after the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) dismissed his complaint that he was discriminated against for being heterosexual.
Aaren Jagadeesh, a former financial services representative with the bank, alleges that his boss told him that there was “no hope” for him unless he was either gay or bisexual.
Originally reported in the National Post in 2015, Jagadeesh said that his manager told him that every manager in the office was either gay or bisexual. Unless he joined their “group,” he would never receive a promotion.
“Be smart and learn,” Jagadeesh’s manager allegedly told him.
Jagadeesh says he was further discriminated by CIBC after he was diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia, saying he was threatened if he took medical breaks. His bonuses and benefits were also cut.
Jagadeesh filed complaints for sexual orientation and disability discrimination with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. After his complaints were dismissed in November 2018, he appealed the decision.
It is also very noteworthy that the “Human Rights Courts” dismissed his suit proving for the umpteenth time that they also have no actual merit in terms of their process and its all based on dialectic twists leftwards with each case they accept and each judgement they make. The Yaniv case was only found against the complainant because of the massive publicity it got and overall would have set the program backwards a lot had they judged it the way they clearly wanted to, as they had already done in the past till someone noticed.
Moving eastwards to the UK:
A transgender woman facing disciplinary action over a T-shirt stating that she is still biologically a man has been accused of “hate speech”.
Debbie Hayton, a physics teacher in the Midlands, lives as a transgender women after changing her gender from male to female in 2012. But unlike many people in the trans-community, she does not believe her sex can be changed and is vocal about the fact that she will always biologically remain a man.
She is now potentially facing expulsion from the LGBT committee of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) for wearing a top adorned with the slogan: “Trans women are men. Get over it!”
If the TUC rules against Ms Hayton, who has sat on the committee for five years, it would mean that even transgender people face being accused of transphobia for saying that they do not believe an individual can alter the sex they were assigned at birth.
Ms Hayton, 51, who has undergone surgery and hormone treatment, wore the T-shirt at an event organised by campaign group Fair Play for Women in July, and it attracted a complaint in August.
Yes. Stating biological reality is right on the razor’s edge of being actually illegal in the UK and for all intents and purposes it is, in that it ends your professional life, and other consequences that actually reach past what might happen to an actual criminal of something like a property crime. There is nothing about any of this or the previous story that are in any way surprising once it is understood that these, and hundreds of others posted at this site, and not posted at this site but can be found in the comments and elsewhere in the news, are part of a distinct and predictable process.
This process is difficult to understand at first, and even harder to internalize. That is to say, the root process is quite alien. And understanding it takes some effort not so much because of its complexity, but because of how much unlearning you have to do, in order to accept the fundamentals of this Neo-Marxist process.
The second step is the internalization so that you can see it taking place around you and ultimately predict how things will go.
Yesterday a resident of one of Ottawa’s most affluent areas send me a scan of a high gloss clay paper expensive fold out flyer that was mailed to every member of the ward s/he lives in. Try and spot the marxist language. Here is a head start. Equity means abandonment of merit and replacement with a visible distribution of ethnics based on whatever criteria the equity manager decides is in the interest of the project. Typically this means what is worst for a merit based civilization. But wait, there is more:
exactly how much of that is the responsibility of a city councilor? Any mentions of sewers, garbage collection, lower taxes or floods? Also does equity include more women collecting trash?
Remember, “systemic racism” like “equity” is all made up with criteria by the one who makes it up. The only principle for selection that has shown to be consistently good for people overall is merit. Because then each person can work towards achieving being the best candidate for what they want to do.
It isn’t perfect, but in this case like so many others, the perfect is the enemy of the good. Marxism seeks to destroy everything with the illusion of replacing the good by calling it bad, and then installing destruction by representing it as perfection.
Here are two papers by Stephen Coughlin and also by Rich Higgins.
On the left’s strategies and tactics. A long but amazing read.
A warning on Racism. This one is only around 20 pages but speaks pretty directly to the issues on this post.
Both of those articles are somewhat technical and not a word is wasted. It takes some effort to get, but the effect is transformative. Perhaps it is like learning biblical Greek and then reading scripture in it. Or Aramaic. Suddenly things make a lot more sense.
But for those who find these too advanced in terms of the expectations on the reader’s current understanding, there is a book that I just started last night called, Cry Havoc, which is a plain language description of what has taken place in the West since the 1950s and while it is also densely written so far, it is straight forward language and references and dispels a number of popularly held myths we carry around with us that was incepted by the left who embedded themselves in every aspect of our culture for the past 70 odd years.
Understanding this material is more than just about having the 2020 to recognize what is around us and why. Its about not being controlled opposition. Whenever someone tells you that you have two options they are usually trying to sell you one of them. In this case we need to see that there are more than two options, and that the ones being presented are counterfeit and none of them are in our interests.
The key to recognizing and taking the right options is to understand the intellectual slight of hand being offered by both muslim groups, and leftist groups, both of whom seem to be operating out of remarkably similar playbooks.
Failure to read those books results in a loss for everything we cherish.

Makes more sense to learn HEBREW instead of “biblical Greek” – whatever that is.
The Septuagint was a translation of HEBREW for Hellenistic Jews living in Alexandria a couple hundred years before Jesus was born. Cobbled together by a committee of translators, a pathetic substitute for Hebrew Scripture.
Old Aramaic, close to Hebrew, was the spoken language in Judea during the Second Temple era. Parts of the Hebrew Bible and the liturgy are in Biblical Aramaic.
~ Tonight we celebrate the 5th night of Hanukkah.~
We populist Maccabees DEFEATED the decadent Hellenists who had allied with the ENEMY imperial army. It was a Civil War.
We beat them back, we regained our FREEDOM in the land of our forefathers.
instead of “biblical Greek” – whatever that is.
Classical Greek as opposed to modern Greek.
Actually I wanted to say Koine Greek, but I had an awful day yesterday and didn’t have time to look up the right spelling of that word. So I went with Biblical.
The BIBLE is most certainly NOT a Greek anything. Neither Koine nor any version of Greek.
That’s so ahistorical it’s outrageous!
The Greeks already get WAY too much credit for everything. In the late Roman Republic, calling something Greek made it classy. (Though not verifiably Greek.)
But, yeah, Greeks did give the world the first documented blood-libel that incited a pogrom against the Jewish people. In Alexandria, right about when the Jews got stupid and lazy.

The county estimates that the cost of the program, aimed at ensuring racial fairness, would cost about $400,000 per year. All county employees must undergo racial equity training, and every government department and office must develop a “racial equity and social justice action plan.”
