“Woke activism" =
“cancel culture”
This is from a past President of the United States of America,
in a speech in Chicago...
Obama stated that he is concerned about college students and
other young people thinking they can only bring about change by
being “as judgmental as possible about
other people…”
“That’s not
activism,” Obama
said,
“that’s
not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting
stones, you’re probably not going to get that far. That’s easy
to do.”
Yet Cancel culture is alive and well in our own community, by a small
group of extremists recurringly COMPLAINING and DEMANDING the removal
of a Historical Monument based upon supposition and out of
context opinions from Howard Zinn...we're going to learn about
Howard Zinn and his communistic bent of shutting down your
opponents instead of engaging them in a debate.
What does it mean to be “canceled”?
Writing for City
Journal, Robert Henderson describes the act of
“canceling” as “an entertaining hobby—an indulgent,
dopamine-feeding activity practiced on social media until its
cruel practitioners, ultimately bored, follow the algorithms
elsewhere.”
But as Fred Bauer argues at National
Review, “canceling” goes far beyond social media. He
writes that canceling “is often about translating this digital
criticism into real personal pain.” This could mean anything
from causing a person’s media platform to be shut down all the
way to causing someone to be fired from their job.
“Canceling” is found all over on social media—from Twitter to
YouTube and beyond—affecting celebrities and politicians of all
varieties. Young people “cancel”
their peers.
The practice of “canceling” is sometimes used to de-platform
powerful individuals who have been convicted or credibly accused
of horrendous crimes (think Harvey Weinstein). But that’s
certainly not where it ends.
While some
believe cancel culture is simply ordinary
people voicing their disfavor of other ordinary people on social
media, in reality it is much more than that. Cancel culture is
the emerging tactic far-left activists employ to silence those
who say things or hold positions with which they disagree.
When you think of cancel culture, any number of campus mobs or
public shaming incidents on Twitter probably come to mind. But
there is one group of far-left activists that has been using
these tactics for over two decades.
The
root of the problem:
The Southern Poverty Law Center
is the
cancel-culture vanguard of the left.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a powerful and
well-funded organization that “cancels” groups and individuals
on a regular basis. They are epitomy of discrimination and
controversial public policy. They are using Racism to
combat the appearance of Racism which appears only in their
poisoned minds.
The SPLC
attacks people that disagree with its far-left
communistic agenda,
labeling individuals and organizations as “extremists” or “hate
groups” wheever they invoke the "R" word.
They’ve made millions while impoverishing the public
square of civil discourse. Long before there were Twitter mobs,
the SPLC began tracking groups
they considered “hateful” in 1990.
The SPLC slanders peaceful
Christian organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom as “hate
groups” for promoting views on human sexuality and the nature of
marriage that diverse people of faith—including Jews,
Christians, and Muslims—have held throughout millennia.
The far-left
propaganda machine uses its vast wealth to
pressure corporations into discontinuing business with so-called
“hate groups,” while also pushing sympathetic politicians to
push those groups out of the public square.
Isn’t there a better way?
YES!
But you have to
know what you are fighting
-
Download this eBook on "Democractic
Socialism" - then grab a copy
of
Critical Race Theory
from the
Heritage Foundation
it contains the playbook of waht is going on around us today!
Wake Up! Stop Being Surprised - this is not a local activity
this is a well-organized, well funded attack on America and her
values!
It wasn’t always this way. As recently as 15 to 20 years ago,
individuals and groups would debate, not seek to silence, people
with which they disagreed. Recent trends are a “departure from
democratic tradition,” according to President Ronald Reagan’s
speech writer Peggy
Noonan.
In 2015, then President Obama had something to say about the
hostility shown to conservative speakers on college campuses:
“Anybody who comes to speak to you and you disagree with, you
should have an argument with them, but you shouldn’t silence
them by saying, ‘You can’t come because I’m too sensitive to
hear what you have to say.’”
Both conservatives and liberals recognize that debate is better
than canceling. It doesn’t have to be this way.
The answer to our problems is not to silence others’ speech. The
answer is more speech. Freedom of speech fosters a vibrant civil
society. Ideas are freely exchanged, even ones that may offend
you or me.
Cancel culture shouts down unpopular speech. A society that
embraces cancel culture is mere steps away from using government
power to shut down speech. Surely both sides of the aisle can
agree this is not the solution.
People from across the political spectrum are prepared to do
away with cancel culture. There is a better way forward.
But the question is, are we going to put down the black mirrors
and MTV, MSM, MS-LSD, etcetera all, long enough to make a
difference?
One focus of current
cancel culture
"appears" to be
coordianted attacks on Columbus and his legacy, but in fact,
it is our American values and exceptionalism that are udner
attack...and that should be of great concern to you and
your family!
The primary problem is that the very people
protected by the Constitution and inherrent human rights are the
very ones who are desecrating the Constitution and inuring many,
many lives.
People are easily distracted with an out of
context event and actually this is about Columbus when in fact
the deluded masses who are being incited to act as angry mobs
are being coordinated by a much more heious organized effort
fudned from outside of this Nation, with the intent to destroy
America as the Light of this world!
We all need to stop
reacting to every little stimulus distraction and look deeper at
the root of the problem that is the only way we are going to
resolve this mess.
We literally need to pray for these
misguided souls who have been lead to beleive events from 550
years ago are effecting their ability to live life and enjoy
their God-given American values and FREEDOM!
Do you see any stories about ANYBODY
breaching the borders to illegally enter into Venuzuela, Mexico,
Honduras, Canada, Britain, Germany, Russia, China?
But we read aobut
about more 1.7M Ileegal Immigrants coming to America on our
Southern Border since January 2021 - do you find that at all
curious?
When did we STOP being a Nation of Law?
When did
our "elected" politicians become activists for Sedition and Treason?
There's an old
saying, EVIL prospers when GOOD Men do NOTHING
You cannot fix this by reading about it
- each of us MUST TAKE ACTION NOW,
write to your legislators, to your Mayor, City Concil,
State Representatives, Senators, Governor and
Yes even
the The Office of
the President of the United States of America, and its going to
take more than than once in a row to make a difference.
We've chosen to be part of the "silent majority",
unfortunately that also means we are tacitly allow the very
fabric of our nation to be torn apart in front of us.
Do
you think this is what your parents and grandparents had in mind
for you?
