Those of you who have supported the LGBTQIA2S+ community by reading my posts might have fretted over the direction I took following the most livestreamed chapter of decolonial resistance ever. I regret having succumbed to so much misinformation about our brave martyrs and to using the hashtag #istandwithisrael, which someone pointed out is extremist. Things got so bad, I even had the cheek to suggest Americans and Brits might be grateful for their liberties.
Thankfully, I involuntarily admitted myself to a thought-reform facility and am ready to share my re-education with others.
To clear the air about the Israel stuff, in terms of campus speech codes, calling for the genocide of the Jews really does depend on the context. Like whether said Jews are Zionist Nazis, or whether they have ever ordered a coffee from Starbucks, or whether one suspects they use the blood of non-Jewish children in their secret rituals at their annual globalist-capitalist conferences. In such cases, it doesn’t cause harm. It’s justice. But if they’re the kind of Jews who know what genocide is even when the ICJ rules it isn’t, then the Intifada only applies if they or any of their relations have had chemo at Sloan Kettering.
It chilled correct thinkers to see a Trump supporter punch down at the disempowered university presidents like that. It epitomised the unprecedented levels of right-wing tyranny plaguing the West and leading to the destruction of our most beloved bureaucracies. Democracy is under threat when Republicans weaponize plagiarism against marginalized groups for whom duplicative language constitutes a way of knowing. As if disrespecting Claudine Gay wasn’t enough, the fascists have even gone after Harvard’s head of DEI, proving once more that whiteness is the greatest threat to America—frequently invisible yet omnipresent like Satan, but with a particular taste for oppressed persons in the 1%.
The disillusionment that the white-supremacist emphasis on citation engenders is all the more reason to feel galvanized so that we can unburden ourselves by what has been and renew the fight for equity. Unequal treatment under the law is the only way to save democracy, send race traitors like Clarence Thomas to jail for being conservative, and abolish the Supreme Court.
I’ve learned so much, including about immigration. Rabid Christians are trying to pretend our Great Helmsman Joe hasn’t come up with a brilliant bipartisan deal to address it. Why anyone thinks reclassifying illegal aliens as undocumented workers doesn’t solve the issue of 300,000 crossings in December alone defies comprehension. The cap of 5,000 per day is well under 1.9 million per year, and Europe is proving that such a scale allows newcomers not to assimilate. They therefore will never become indoctrinated by the American dream and will help overthrow the toxic System that much sooner. Plus, physical labour is degrading unless you’re giving it to a non-citizen, and there is a shortage of help on Martha’s Vineyard which disproportionally affects those with guest houses with two or more bathrooms. So down with your razor wire, Governor Abbott. Everyone knows it doesn’t work, which is why they use it around prisons. Keeping it up means border agents have to look to see if anyone is being kept out. It burdens them with having to ask the economic migrant for the number of their contact in the US to confirm that they are an asylum seeker. This wastes the agents’ time, and since most of these incoming men are military-age, we can rest assured that they will keep the risk posed by free-roaming women on our streets better under control.
Which brings me to a cis woman who happens to be on the right side of history. Working with the un-politically motivated New York State legislature to temporarily lift the statute of limitations so she could file her rape case against Trump, E. Jean Carroll was able to confirm that the event happened “decades ago”. Neither she nor the two friends she told could remember the exact year. What matters is that her attorney was able to convince the jury that he was 51% likely to have done it, so by saying she was a wacko liar he became liable for over $83 million in damages. Compassionate comrades on Instagram are hoping this does something to heal the obvious pain she expressed to Rachel Maddow. For those of us who can name an actual date we failed to report something however, we’ve got further news: self-repair only starts at $90 million. I almost wrote “failed to report something a queer Muslim activist did to us on July 31, 2018” but as I am fresh out of re-education camp I am able to reboot and acknowledge it never happened.
Meanwhile here in Scotland our former Glorious Leader Nicola Sturgeon was abused in court by a prosecutor who forced her to say she deleted her messages when what she originally confessed was that she didn’t save them. Sometimes thousands of What’s App messages and emails need to get not saved when politicians are fighting evildoers. By keeping Scots under longer periods of lockdown to distinguish herself from Boris Johnson and advance the cause of independence, Sturgeon was simply trying to be the best First Minister possible. It’s exhausting how the media never go after male politicians. Only the women on the left.
Trump of course is Stalin. When one thinks of how he followed through on his plan to lock Hillary up with all the BLM protesters and the journalists who dared to criticise him, it eclipses the numbers who died in the gulags by many millions.
Consider also the death count from the trans genocide and the disregard for human rights it takes for a therapist to ask a child why they think they were born in the wrong body rather them take them at their word. And what kind of authoritarian do you have to be to propose that the American Academy of Pediatrics should conduct clinical trials on puberty blockers? Rampant disinformation proliferated by discredited quacks has people imagining these life-saving medications affect bone density. Even the pinnacle of neutrality The New York Times allows bigots to claim there might be methodological flaws within the empowering research our activists have brought to light. Some would even delude us into believing that detransitioners count for more than 0.00000000001% of those who discover their true selves.
Justice must prevail. Never before has the need to stamp out masters-less dissenters been more dire. At the same time, evidence-based research is a tool of the oppressor and shall not be wielded to counter anything the World Economic Forum deems necessary to liberate us into the Great Extinction. Nuclear energy is the same thing as nuclear warheads and must be erased from our consciousness so that the radically efficient solar and wind solutions may carpet our planet—and replenish our landfills—from every river to every sea.
We must wipe out racism, homophobia, transphobia, jihadophobia, ableism, fattism, European farmers, populist pigs, and anyone else who fails to hold either a gender studies BA or a certificate of completion for their anti-bias training course. May the re-education of Jordan Peterson be an example to anyone who didn’t think the obese model on the cover of Sports Illustrated was beautiful. May the independent media die a slow but certain death so that there can be no confusion over whether the exciting vaccine for Disease X prevents you from spreading it or not. Neither has been invented yet, but one jab and it stops with you. Never again shall the anti-intellectuals break the rules of social distancing or go outside without a mask if our inclusive experts have dictated exactly what we need to do based on the science. Scepticism equals death.
We look forward to a day when we can see what we can be, unburdened by what has been, when the chains that bind Big Pharma and Big Tech are unshackled, so that the possible can actually happen. We set our sights on a day when children are protected from their parents, when most women have penises, and when every champion in every women’s competition is a real nonbiological woman, not a fake cis one. And finally, we will not rest until Queer Eye goes to Gaza, since western Yemen would be redundant with the Houthis already slaying it in the yassness department.
I am so grateful to my re-educators for recognizing my need for reform while maintaining my status as a non-enemy. I had been damaged by capitalist oppression and seduced by the lethal notion of an individual defined by independent thought rather than by his/her/eir intersectional characteristics. Not to engage in citation and thereby perpetuate toxic hegemonies, but the so-called laws of Nature are nonsense. The new and improved Winston Smith learned as much at the touching conclusion to 1984.
Ministry of Truth, if you are listening, I hereby submit my revised DEI statement for your consideration. Freedom is slavery. Two cups of vinegar plus two cups of baking soda equals five cups of something else, while two rabbits of all genders can equal a gajillion. And God—not the one you lovingly disrupted but the one you crafted perfectly in our secular image—this God is Power. Absolutely absolute. I see him smile, and I weep.
Love it, Ben! love YOUR voice. YOU be YOU, my friend. I don't even know where to begin. It was like a smorgasbord for my brain and jumpstarted the gray matter with some new synaptic adventures.
here is just one, of the many tasty tidbits from your piece: "physical labour is degrading unless you’re giving it to a non-citizen, and there is a shortage of help on Martha’s Vineyard which disproportionally affects those with guest houses with two or more bathrooms." being a child of parents who were the housecleaner/cook &, gardener/farmer for, luckily, a very philanthropic & caring American Blue Blood Family, this made me smile, 🙌🏼,✊🏽,& 👊🏽.
You had me for a moment there. My eyes popping out of my head. That was a trip!
