Principal 'counselled' over 'white devils' rap song at school - "A Sydney principal has been 'counselled' after her school broadcast a song that references 'white devils' and labels Captain Cook a 'murderer without licence'. The song has been played each morning over loudspeakers for the past two months while students at Ramsgate Public School, in Sydney's south, get ready to go to class. The song is titled 'Bagi-la-m Bargan', meaning fighting boomerang, and is written by Indigenous rapper Birdz, otherwise known as Nathan Bird. Among the lyrics are references to violence, blood-stained beaches, and armed confrontations with the white settlers. One outraged father whose child attends the school said he hadn't brought up the issue with staff out of fear of 'being branded a racist'... The concerned dad only became aware of the song when his son asked him if there was 'something wrong with being white'. 'He said ''well every morning when you drop me off I hear them mention white devils in the song''.' The father said he was 'absolutely shocked' that a song with such strong themes was being played to school children each day... The song was chosen for Reconciliation Week and has since been removed from the school's playlist. No complaints have been made."
White people who object to being called devils are the real racists
"Reconciliation" is about hating white people while getting more money from them
UPenn's top donor: Campus antisemitism is bleeding into anti-Americanism - ""The vast majority of this country is normal," Rowan said. "Totally normal. Every poll everywhere done says that this country believes in right and wrong, moral and immoral. People are interested in family and career and friends and are patriotic. That's the good news. The bad news is that there are centers - important centers - of this country that don't believe these things." These centers, Rowan said, want to change everything about society, from the way people relate to each other to history and the notion of the American dream and meritocracy. "They seek to sort us into groups based on a perception - their own perception - of whether we are an oppressed or an oppressor," he said. "That's the fight we have on these campuses. Is there antisemitism? You betcha there's antisemitism. But it's very hard to separate what's happening on our campuses today from anti-Americanism. This is why it's important to recognize that this problem goes beyond just the Jews, but should be a problem for all Americans. "If we seek to make this solely a fight of the Jews, there are few of us. If we seek to make alliances... we have lots of allies. But it does start with us," Rowan said. When asked about the role of philanthropy, Rowan said that there should be a way for philanthropists to hold people to account. "We have not exacted a price for being antisemitic, we have not called people out," Rowan said. "We wouldn't hire someone who was anti-black, anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Indian, anti-Hindu. Why would I hire someone who was antisemitic? Why would I not call out philanthropic institutions who behave in an antisemitic fashion. Why would I give to organizations, cultural organizations or otherwise, who are making it difficult for Jews? This is just common sense.""
The irony where the right wing anti-Semites (many of them white) is concerned is that they hate Jews for the same reason that the left hate white people

BBC presenter says calling animals by their English names is 'jarring' - "Calling wild African animals by their English names is “jarring”, a Springwatch presenter has said. Gillian Burke said she prefers to refer to animals by their traditional Swahili names rather than those commonly used in the BBC’s acclaimed nature programmes... “In my own writing, I prefer re-introducing these familiar animals by their Swahili names: ndovu (elephant), twiga (giraffe), fisi (hyena) and my personal favourite, because I used to love how my dad said it, kongoni (hartebeest).” Burke said Swahili was itself a combination of other languages and she would have to “dig deeper” to find the “true indigenous animal names”... The presenter grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, and moved to Austria at age 10. She studied biology at Bristol University, afterwards becoming a natural history researcher and later a producer. Burke first appeared on Springwatch in 2017 and became a regular presenter alongside Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan, and Megan McCubbin. She added: “Perhaps it is this inequality in who gets to do the naming, and the sense that we are unwittingly wielding some form of power by naming wild animals.” The presenter did acknowledge that “naming animals is a useful tool for storytelling”. She added: “It can help audiences connect with our animal characters and allows us to share experiences on social media. “But naming is not just useful for us media luvvies, of course. “Pet owners will know that naming is one of the first rituals that marks our bond with our companion animals. “In science, the binomial system of Latin names serves as an anchor point."
Of course, if you suggest that she doesn't belong because she's not comfortable with the English names, you're the racist
If her readers don't understand the Swahili names, it'll be their fault for being ignorant
'Helldivers 2' Moderator Bans Users For Vomit Reacting To LGBTQ+ Furry Art Then Removes The Emote As Player Base Continues To Shrink - "According to SteamDB, Helldivers 2 has seen its player base massively shrink since its peak in February of 458,709 concurrent players. The most recent 24-hour peak is 52,214 players. Amidst this decline in the player base one of the game’s moderators in its Discord began banning players for vomit reacting to a piece of LGBTQ+ furry art. Moderator tetrakatart, who lists pronouns of she/her and they/them in her bio as well as featuring a LGBTQIA+ rainbow, and currently has the username of A Mouse posted on June 10th, “Gender identity is not politics it’s literally someone’s identity. Here in the HD2 server we have a 0 tolerance policy on any sort of bigotry or hate.The topic of gender identity especially this month is not one that’s not allowed. What isn’t allowed is all the negativity towards people trying to celebrate who they are.”... Ironically, this policy makes absolutely no sense given pushing of sexual orientation and transgender ideology is by definition hate and adherents to these lifestyles, movements, and ideologies express bigotry. But this is exactly what social justice warriors and woke cultists do: they lie, double down on their lies, and project... In what appears to be a now deleted post that was shared to X by former World of Warcraft Team Lead Mark Kern aka Grummz, the moderator made it clear she was going to ban people for using the vomit emoji, “This is your reminder that if you want to vomit react furry art or be a jerk about furry art that you are lining up for a 24 hour timeout by me.” Furthermore, she added, “This is also a reminder that if you try to reply to me in here you can’t because there’s no typing in here. Everyone reacting to my post with a clown emoji is also lining up for a timeout. Keep going you’re making my life easy.” Grummz commented, “Helldivers is NOT politically FREE. The Helldivers 2 mod who was demoted for falsely accusing me of sexual harassment is on a HUGE BANNING SPREE. He is banning anyone for reacting to LGBTQ+ fan art with a thumbs down or vomit emoji (despite claiming a thumbs down is okay, he lied). Now he is doing suspensions for anyone disliking Furry art.” He continued, “He keeps changing his name to hide when called out, as if people wouldn’t notice. Arrowhead Studios why do you keep employing such a destructive, power tripping moderator? He’s violating your “No Politics” policy and making Helldivers look terrible while accusing people of things they never did.” To Grummz’s point, the moderator responded to one person who accurately described the moderator as the “pronoun mod” and “angry” writing, “Saying stuff like this makes my job so easy to just ban.”... Ironically, she justified her actions by claiming that posting the vomit emoji on degenerate art is bullying. As noted, woke cultists always project. And this is clearly the case."
'Helldivers 2' Community Manager Declares Game Is "Pretty Woke" And Reveals Game Was Banning Individuals She Deemed "Bigots, Transphobes, Homophobes, Racists" - "Helldivers 2 Community Manager Katherine Baskin declares the game is “pretty woke”"
LGBTQ+ Activists Accuse 'Helldivers 2' Developers Of Silencing Them After They Attempted To Push Propaganda Into Game - "One activist, going by the name of Bapanada, told the outlet, “The problem here isn’t actually the bigots, those are an unfortunate fact of life that can never be fully eradicated. The problem is that Arrowhead’s official spaces […] have made the deliberate decision to silence LGBTQ+ voices under the guise of banning any ‘political’ discussion, as if people’s identities are political, and as if this game was not created and marketed as a heavy-handed piece of political satire.” Polygon’s Diego Nicolás Argüello also claimed that an individual named Wendy Wilson demanded pride flag capes be added to the game in the official Discord server. After numerous gamers told her to keep the propaganda away, she changed her profile to a transgender flag."
Of course, if you promote a white identity, you're a fascist and white supremacist who needs to be banned

Christopher Dummitt: Treasonous MPs the end result of project to delegitimize Canada - "It’s possible to be both astounded and completely unsurprised by the allegations that some members of Parliament have colluded with foreign states to serve both their own interests and those of governments like China and India. For years now, Canada’s elite have been acting as if there is no real legitimate national interest. Imagine a new prime minister trying to invoke a Canadian version of JFK’s self-abnegating admonition to, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Young Canadians would say: “But I thought you told us we lived on stolen land?” Our elite class continually delegitimizes the very idea of Canada through land acknowledgements, self-confessions of genocide and claims (via our prime minister even) that there really is no such thing as a Canadian identity. Is it any wonder that some people take this seriously? Canadian progressives and many of our institutions have come to embrace a bizarre woke version of multiculturalism, where every other nation can have interests and culture, but Canada can only have original sin. Visitors to cultural institutions across the country are greeted with signs that contrast the permanent and immemorial quality of the Indigenous presence in North America with the temporary and illegitimate status of Canada itself. A current exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum on the origin of life on the planet, for example, inserts largely unknown Indigenous place names to describe landmasses that existed hundreds of millions of years ago, at a time when no humans even existed and the planet looked entirely different. And yet the same exhibit talks about “the lands now known as Ontario.” Similarly, the McMichael gallery, which was created to celebrate Canada’s most famous painters, the Group of Seven, no longer features the group’s story in its permanent gallery. You’ll find Group of Seven paintings there, for sure, but the gallery has now erased what was a proud national origin story, presumably because it was too white and too male. Instead, visitors are greeted by a hodgepodge of artists who (though obviously talented) are essentially on display to meet DEI quotas. Instead of keeping the Group of Seven’s Canadian story and then adding new galleries for other artists, the gallery erased the older Canadian story. It’s a telling choice that is being replicated throughout the country. A key trend in all of this is assuming the sinfulness of Canada itself, all while ignoring the histories of other countries and cultures, which are just as bad, if not worse. Think of Toronto’s attempts to rename Dundas Street and Yonge-Dundas Square because Henry Dundas allegedly delayed the abolition of the slave trade. Canadian schoolbooks used to tell a story about Britain and Canada’s status as some of the first countries to abolish the slave trade. Now, that narrative has been replaced with a story about British and Canadian guilt. Yet the activists — and then the decision makers — completely overlook the presence of slavery in Africa before and after the Atlantic slave trade, in the Muslim world and even amongst Indigenous peoples in Canada. Then there’s the egregious fact that the newly chosen name for the square — Sankofa — comes from a West African kingdom that grew in power on the profits of the slave trade. This is what national deculturation looks like. And it was bound to have real-world consequences. In recent years, China tried to avoid criticism for its mistreatment of its Muslim Uyghur population by pointing to Canada’s so-called genocide. Why wouldn’t it? After all, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got down on one knee to apologize for the alleged discovery of mass graves at residential schools. Then, MPs passed a resolution proclaiming that Canada had committed a genocide. Yet to this day, no graves have been uncovered. This was, of course, a Canadian “own goal.” What ought to have been a story about an authoritarian foreign government’s persecution of a cultural minority instead became tit-for-tat allegations of genocide. And our elites were — for some mysterious reason — playing for the Chinese. China isn’t alone in benefiting from Canada’s national self-doubt. Russia and Iran are also happy to foster domestic discord to sap our belief in the superiority of our liberal democracy."
MACPHERSON: Majority of Ontario parents want balance and parental consent in schools - "the poll (conducted by Leger and commissioned by the Fraser Institute) found that nine in 10 Ontario parents with kids in K-12 schools believe teachers and the provincial curriculum should focus on facts — not teacher interpretations (which may include opinions) of those facts. Only 7% of Ontario parents disagreed. Currently, Ontario’s curriculum guide is sorely lacking in fact-based content. For example, Ontario students can graduate high school with almost no knowledge of Canadian history. And because the current curriculum encourages teachers to interpret facts to suit their opinions, what kids learn can vary greatly depending on their teachers. What about controversial topics such as gender, sexuality and climate change? According to the poll, 77% of Ontario parents with kids in K-12 schools “strongly agree or somewhat agree” that teachers should present both sides of controversial issues or avoid them entirely. By contrast, 15% of Ontario parents disagreed. Moreover, 81% of Ontario parents agreed that schools should provide advance notice when controversial topics will be discussed in class or during formal school activities. This isn’t surprising because many parents would want to discuss these issues with their children in advance or remove their children from those lessons. In fact, when controversial topics arise, 76% of Ontario parents believe parents should have the right to remove their children from those lessons without consequence to their children’s grades. Of the minority who did not believe parents should have this right, most said “children need to learn about all topics/viewpoints, regardless of their parents’ bias.” And an overwhelming majority of parents in Ontario (91%) believe classroom materials and conversations about potentially controversial topics should always be age-appropriate. In May, Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce directed school boards to be more transparent with parents about what their children learn, the purpose of school activities and which external groups will present to students or teachers on Professional Development days. The directive, according to Lecce, recommended proactive communication with parents rather than providing information on potentially controversial material only after parents inquire. The Leger poll suggests the government is on the right track. Despite claims by activists and politicians — and skewed coverage in the media — parents in Ontario strongly value balance rather than bias in the classroom, and want parental involvement and consent."
What Canada's 'silent majority' believes - "The words “silent majority” were being thrown around a lot in the wake of a Sunday pro-Israel rally that saw more than 50,000 people take to the streets of Toronto. For months, Toronto has been plagued by anti-Israel blockades and encampments orchestrated by a group of demonstrators that often number no more than a few dozen. And then, in a single afternoon, the pro-Israel camp was able to turn out one of the largest political demonstrations in the country’s history. “The silent majority outnumbered that vocal minority by over 50,000 to 50,” declared a widely circulated post by David Jacobs. And it’s not just on the issue of Israel. Perhaps now more than at any point in the past 20 years, there is a yawning disconnect between the issues that Canadians support, and the issues that are getting the most attention... They want more criminals in jail for longer (and they also want to kill murderers)... They don’t want to pay carbon taxes anymore... Blanket support for LGBT rights come to a screeching halt when children are involved... They’re extremely pro-abortion … and also extremely pro-euthanasia... They like ethnic diversity, but they’re skeptical of multiculturalism... They think harm reduction has gone too far... if you directly ask Canadians the best way to deal with drugs and addiction, the answer is a clear “arrest the drug dealers.”... They’re definitely not happy about all these anti-Israel encampments everywhere"
Damn far right extremists who are a danger to democracy and deserve to be unpersoned!
why has this sub gotten more conservative? : r/SingaporeRaw - "When I was young, I believe everyone had the potential to be good and deserve to be free. When I grew older and travelled more to see different countries, I realise some cultures/country really need to be revamped or kept under control. Some type people don't integrate into modern society and their religion are not compatible with modern society values. If you use modern society values to put them on the same pedestral, they will not hesitate to bully you or subjugate you. Their religion is crippling them yet they want to impose it on everyone and see everyone undergo the same restrictions as them."

Devon Eriksen on X - "Some of you may be wondering why the entire bureaucratic caste of the USA is completely obsessed with weird sex stuff. Sure, we can all have good fun ranting about how insane this cult is, and watching them melt down when we leave skid marks on their sacred icons, but sooner or later, you gotta ask... why. It's the toaster-fucker problem. Some of you may be familiar. Goes like this, and I quote:
I blame the internet. Back in the days before it, we had to learn to live with those around us, now you can just go out and find someone as equally stupid as yourself. I call it the toaster fucker problem. Man wakes up in 1980, tells his friends "I want to fuck a toaster" Friends quite rightly berate and laugh at him, guy deals with it, maybe gets some therapy and goes on a bit better adjusted. Guy in 2021 tells his friends that he wants to fuck a toaster, gets laughed at, immediately jumps on facebook and finds "Toaster Fucker Support group" where he reads that he's actually oppressed and he needs to cut out everyone around him and should only listen to his fellow toaster fuckers. Apply this analogy to literally any insular bubble, it applies as equally to /r/thedonald as it does to the emaciated Che Guevara larpers that cry thinking about ringing their favourite pizza place.
But the toaster fucker problem doesn't stop there. Because every social group has an axis of prestige. They have to compete with each other for status somehow. That's what humans do. And in the toaster-fucking group, the axis of prestige aligns with fucking toasters. So first they compete to see who can fuck the most toasters. Then, when that is saturated, they one up each other by being most open with the general public about their toaster fucking ways. Then they make toaster-fucker pride t-shirts and hats and bumper stickers. Then they move on to bragging about how they sneak into other people's kitchens and fuck their toasters, too, and swap tips for how to introduce kids to the joys of toaster-fucking. But it doesn't stop there, either. Pretty soon normal people, who ten years before would shrugged and said "that's weird", are now sick of toaster-fucker flags everywhere and their kids being told to fuck toasters by sickos, and now they're going to burn every toaster-fucker flag they see, and Florida just passed a law requiring you to be 21 years old with proof of ID to buy a toaster. And Utah has banned toasters altogether and the Mormons have stopped even eating toast, bagels, waffles, or any other heated bread product. But it doesn't stop there, either. Because a few toaster-fuckers get beaten with fence posts by people sick of hearing about toaster-fucking, and other people, who didn't see or hear the toaster-fuckers' prior behavior, say "holy shit, toaster fuckers really are oppressed". And they decide to become "toaster-fucker allies", despite the fact that they haven't the slightest real interest in fucking any toasters themselves. But it doesn't stop there. Because toaster-fucking has become a sacred cause, it must now must compete with other sacred causes for the minds of highly programmable non-player characters, and there are clashes in the streets between the Toaster Fucker Pride March and the Stop Raccoon Shaving protests. This is what "go outside and touch grass" really means. It doesn't mean that plants magically cure insanity, it means go encounter randomly selected people who have nothing to do with you other than geographic proximity. The purpose of this is to remember what normal people are like, and what normalcy is. It's not that normal people don't do weird things. Maybe they like their pancakes with ketchup. Maybe they consider midgets to be the height of sex appeal. Maybe they never wash their socks, but just throw them away and buy more instead. What makes normal people normal is that they keep that shit to themselves when it isn't relevant. Like when you're an institute for space exploration. Not toaster fucking. Space exploration. Remember?"
The Dangerous Dream of Dismantling Human Hierarchies - "It is an idea that has always united radicals, from the sans-culottes of the French Revolution to current student activists at the University of Missouri: they have all detested the scourge of social hierarchy, the peculiar fact that some people rank higher than others and enjoy privileged access to some resources—be they power, esteem, attention or financial reward. It is, of course, not only radicals of past and present who shun hierarchies. Even in the more polite circles of newsrooms, sociology departments or centrist party academies, there is broad agreement that abolishing hierarchies has to be a moral imperative. Prestigious philosophers, like, say, Elizabeth Anderson, who can in no way be associated with the radical fringes, demand the dismantling of social hierarchies. In effect, the discourse of social justice is now largely synonymous with outlining what an abolition of status hierarchies would involve and if you ever wanted to make enemies and alienate people try to suggest at the next board meeting: “Well, let’s introduce a clear, steep hierarchy for a change!” Yet at the same time, the attitude of ordinary folk towards hierarchies seems pretty relaxed... We are all engaged in status struggles, we orient our lives in relation to hierarchies, make sense of our goals and our world in their terms and perceive their absence as chaos and cacophony... whether good or bad in themselves, we should not try to get rid of hierarchies in general as any such an attempt simply would come at way too high a moral cost. These costs should be rather obvious. We do have, after all, a rich historic record of projects that seriously aimed at dismantling hierarchy: from the French and Bolshevik revolutions, to the Khmer Rouge revolt and Mao’s Cultural Revolution. They have all failed. What we have not fully grasped, I believe, is why these attempts have failed so spectacularly... every serious attempt to do away with hierarchy completely has led to death, misery and poisonous hierarchies at an epic scale... There are four forces at play that can explain this strange fact and that collectively counter any attempt to get rid of hierarchies—call them the four seals of hierarchy: 1. our human culture 2. our animal nature 3. the logic of conflict 4. the nature of political action... People have argued ad nauseam whether the hierarchies we find populating our lives are the product of human culture or human nature. Strangely enough, many seem convinced that much hangs on this question. They seem convinced that if hierarchies turned out to be a cultural phenomenon then they could be easily gotten rid of, whereas if they turned out to be biological in nature, then they would stick with us. I do not see why this should be the case. After all, it has yet to be demonstrated that it is easy or even possible to change culture. The belief, for instance, that Kosovo is part of Serbia is certainly not a biological given. Wherever one stands on this issue it should be rather clear that despite being under severe pressure this belief has remained largely intact since at least 1389 and will likely continue intact for at least another 630 years. Many cultural beliefs are just like that... the legendary women’s right activist Jo Freeman has aptly pointed to what she called the Tyranny of Structurelessness. When describing the faults of the early women’s right movement she rightly observed that the abolition of formal hierarchies did not at all lead to the abolition of hierarchies but only to the replacement of formal hierarchies by informal ones. These, however, were much more insidious as they were at the same time excessively inscrutable, exclusionary, and impractical."
Father James Martin on Anti-Catholic Prejudice - The Atlantic - "He found it striking that the Times would deferentially cover a language shift meant to show respect for Roma people but would also print a story that relished a film scene in which a holy Catholic object is defiled... it’s acceptable in secular, liberal, elite circles—such as The New York Times—to make fun of Catholicism, particularly the Church’s emphasis on hierarchy, dogma, and canon law and its teachings related to sex... We are living in an era when newsrooms are revising their style guides to be more sensitive about race, gender, and sexuality; flippant comments perceived as bigotry can cost people their job; and entomological societies are scouring their insect rosters for pejorative names. Yet, some aspects of identity and belief still seem to be fair game for mockery...
What if it were directed toward another religion—something holy from Islam or Judaism being used as a sex toy—and that was made fun of in The New York Times? To me, it seemed unnecessarily mocking...
when now–Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was in her hearing for the Circuit Court of Appeals, Democratic senators questioned her about how her Catholic faith would affect her rulings on issues like abortion. Senator Dianne Feinstein famously told her, “The dogma lives loudly within you.” A lot of people thought that was open anti-Catholic bigotry—a U.S. senator expressing fear that an accomplished legal scholar couldn’t be a fair judge because of her faith"
The left hate Christianity, so; it's notable that no other Christian denomination is referenced for comparison. Though he does make a good point about the rules on sex - left wingers love sex, after all
