James Lindsay: On Canadian communism, it’s history, it’s language and how it is being enacted today

Posted on by

Remember, if you think this doesn’t affect you in some other country, the same things are happening there with language designed for you to accept it. Or if not accept, find it difficult to fight against.

Please consider reading this essay on the history of Canadian communist prime ministers also.

This is critical information if you wish to understand how we got to this point.

  1. The USA cannot afford a communist Canada. You need our resources. These will not be available if we are taken over by the CCP. A reverse colour revolution would be nice before we are into fully blown “normalization”.

    Lindsay does a great job here clarifying the jargon. “Complexity appeal” is not one of these expressions, but one he uses which stands out for me. Complexity appeal refers to the ostensible density of bullshit communist ideas appealing to Red ideologues because it makes them feel smart and exclusive. Sadly, I have a brother who suffers severely from complexity appeal.

    “Transformative” (red lingo), “inclusive” (ditto), “systems thinker” (ditto), and on through this video Lindsay cuts like a knife through the language. It only take a few examples to get it: when the word or term sounds complicated, or somehow vague or somehow evasive of real meaning, it is Red talk. One needs only to hear a few Freeland/Trudeau buzzwords to get the drift of the lingo.

    • That junk lingo?
      That’s what kids in the USSR learned to parrot from early grade school on up. It didn’t mean anything at all. Just noise.

  3. On a recent visit to Montreal, I saw an example of “the point is never the point.” French language preservation laws were going to preserve the <> culture. Birthrate too low, though. Regulate which schools children can attend to move families towards one language. Give preferential treatment to French speaking immigrants. Open up visas if willing to learn French and reside in Québec.

    Result: Francophone African/North African culture with some language wizzes from India and China.
