I grew up in the communist China during the cultural revolution. This triggers a flood of surreal memories. All you have to do is substitute “racism” with “anti communism” and the rest are pretty much eerily and sadly similar.

I grew up in 80s in communist Czechoslovakia. It reminds me the "baptism" into The Sparks (SZM was youth wing of Communist Party and The Sparks was basically pre-highschool version of it). Same shit, different words. I detested it then, I detest it now.

[@stevepittman3770]

I didn't grow up in a communist country but I remember reading in the 80s about these militant rebel groups in Latin America following the Maoist model of a kind of self-immolation -- meetings where people tried to one-up each other in how terrible a communist they were, how flawed a person, etc. The first few minutes immediately reminded me of this, and then it just kept getting worse. This is freaky, freaky shit.

I grew up in communist Yugoslavia. We had similar rituals, but 99% of the people would laugh it of afterwards. However, Yugoslavia was milder case compared to China, Czechoslovakia or USSR.

Her book is an insipid mess. And I feel bad for giving it credit by using a word as good as insipid to describe it.

The sort of thinking happening at Evergreen is also happening throughout colleges across the US. You can find examples easily.

I lived 25 years of my life in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania. Here're what we were taught in schools: 1. It's not a question whether or not you are a bourgeois, but how you manifest it. 2. All descendants of bourgeois families are bourgeois whether or not they know it. 3. The entire bourgeois political system is to benefit bourgeoisie and no one else. 4. If you do not condemn bourgeoisie you defend it. 5. If you are not a member of the working class, you are guilty of privilege and should repent. Repentance might not exonerate you, but would make you feel better. 6. You don't even know but the cultural pressure of bourgeoisie has made you think like a bourgeois (Antonio Gramsci here). I can follow a long list of such cult-like statements but you can infer from this mob just by substituting whiteness for bourgeoisie and color for proletariat. This is what makes Marxism neo-Marxism... Here, here, let me tell you something else. In periodic meetings led by (Communist) Party secretaries, people were asked to stand up and report about their bourgeois ideas in their heads and how they were combating them. That catharsis act was called autokritkë (self-bashing). People were spitting on themselves, were telling horrible things against themselves. I was a children and remember my father standing stoically in one of those Orwellian neighbourhood meetings and enduring insults from others because he refused to humiliate himself. He told them that they could say whatever they wanted against him but he had nothing to say against himself. Oh my old man! He was a piece of work. Here's how communist epistemology works. Once Beria told Stalin: you give me the man and I will find his crime. It could work as well: you give me the white man and I can tell you his racist acts...

MLK had character; he had obviously done tremendous personal and spiritual work on himself, and in small scale, before presuming that he was fit to make large scale changes: because of this he had a level head, he cared about HUMANITY (not just his own demographic) and his actions and his activism were always logical, rooted in the facts of the situation, etc. That he was a good person was at the root of his success, and I would wager that is just too hard and too intellectually taxing for most of these so called "intellectuals": because of this their activism is always a personal journey for a salvation they feel has been denied them, which is the exactly the opposite of MLK. He had already been saved, before he tried to save the world.

Alot of other western nations already have hate speech legislation and tribunals that operate outside the usual court system to enforce things like hate speech laws. So if our country goes down the same path, blindly following the SJWS, and essentially ending free speech and ushering in a new era of censorship, where are we to go? I don't know of any other country where free speech is a core principle, enshrined in the constitution as it is in America. That might simply be ignorance on my part, but I know of several western countries with these so called "human rights tribunals" that are weapons being used to push ideologies of far left identity politics in the name of compassion, equity, and diversity. How it is that grownups come to the conclusion that the best way to heal racial division and inequality is to divide everyone into groups based on the color of their skin or what genitals they happen to possess is beyond my capacity to understand. But, that's where we are today. The problem is that so far, the SJWs have been far more effective than regular folks with half a brain in their head. So, the old adage that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease holds true as ever.

[@lyndagruen2047]

It's difficult for us Americans to do because those of us who disagree do not have good access to academia, news media or social media. A part of the problem has been long-standing information control. Our voices are marginalized, just as they have been for multiple decades. Most folks in the anti-racism community are aligned with Leftist / "Progressive" politics, which would make them Biden supporters. There are other reasons folks voted for Biden, too - some understandably so. Frankly, what I find truly remarkable is how many of us Americans voted for Trump not because we agreed with him per se, but because we recognized this soft totalitarianism and decided that that was not what we wanted. Many of us are well aware of the problems Vice President Harris and those like her could bring if granted the opportunity to do so. We did what we could this past election. We are fearful to speak up, because sometimes our homes are being set on fire (Brooklyn Park, Minnesota) or bombed (Michigan). Sometimes we risk facing mob intimidation if we're white. Sometimes we are losing our jobs for being Conservative. It's no small matter to speak up against this totalitarianism. It can cost us our lives, at least in terms of reputations, livelihoods, homes and so on. To be honest, it's not unlike the problem you all are having with unchecked immigration leaving the UK less British / Scottish / Welsh / Irish. I mean, I hear that London is no longer an English city, but rather, an international one. It's okay to say that, as long as it's true. Don't let people shame you into lying. As Solzhenitsyn wrote, "Live Not By Lies!" Ultimately, it isn't worth the comfort if that means you can't live in truth. We will do what we can. Cheers from the States! = )

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." You are the kind of person that I probably would have laughed at for being an extremist of the other side, furthermore, your failure to look at the other side (more than half of the country) and see nothing of value is precisely what is tearing this country apart. The fact that you come to a positive comment and try to find negativity in it speaks loudly as to what kind of person you are and your character. I have done none of the things you accuse me of, never been anti-West, never "whined about tolerance", and I've never called White people evil. I've never laughed or mocked Christianity, in fact, I committed 2 years of my life to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in a foreign land. I am not a Social Justice Warrior and have never supported that movement and consider it to be one of the most pervasive threats to free speech and the 1st Amendment, so when you attribute the worst of one side to a person you've never met, known or talked to in person, again, it speaks loudly about the kind of person you are and your character. I'm sorry that you are so filled with negativity and hate, although I am glad you have a platform to release it, even though I am the unfortunate target.
