Because you haven't been paying enough attention to the fact that our nation's culture is not only created in our schools but that it is our children who are leading the development of that culture in our schools adult authority is long gone. So here I am ringing the alarm. In 20 years many of us will be retired or sadly dead, and the children in our schools will be in important and influential positions in our institutions. As G.K Chesterton said the true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him. Well, I'm asking how much do you love your country, how much do you love the values that you claim to defend? Do you love them enough to tweet under your own name do you love them enough to change your child's school to one that's less woke and ignore the impact on your social status? Do you love them enough to do more than simply chat to your friends who already agree with you at dinner parties. For Heaven's sake man, stand up and be counted! As Russell Crowe says in the film Gladiator (a clip I regularly play for my staff): 'Hold the line! Stay with me!... what we do in life... echoes in eternity. Will your life echo hollow with cowardly hypocrisy or will it echo with courage, valiance and honour? The choice is yours strength and honour be with you all!' Now get yourselves to detention!" #IRLHistoricalFigureGilbertKeithChesterton #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight #IRLActorRussellCrowe + #2000_Gladiator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g1xoz6djsI&t=97s

But the people really go wild on one thing only: not Black Lives Matter, not woke history, but the madness of the trans stuff. It's something people can really feel angry about, but how widely is this sentiment shared? Last summer, an Opinium poll of Tory members found trans issues were 26th on their list of priorities. I've heard little so far on crime, nothing on the cost of living, nothing on health at NatCon. We're dealing in abstractions here." https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-are-the-nat-cons-so-serious/ #IdentityLGBTQIATrans

#MagazineUSMITPressReader #EDUSEMalmoUniversitetMartinLund "The essentialism of racial thinking took long to develop. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and others displayed varieties of xenophobia, but almost always with an 'escape hatch' in conversion or assimilation. Slow movements toward essentialism in prejudices about European Jewry and Black Africans took place over centuries. While anti-Judaism had been part and parcel of Christianity almost from its inception, it wasn't until the 12th and 13th centuries that some began to speak about an insurmountable difference between Jews and Gentiles. And although the association of the color black with evil has long roots, it didn't translate everywhere into anti-Black sentiment. Spanish anti-Judaism started to include ideas about the purity of blood (limpieza de sangre) in the 14th and 15th centuries, framed in terms of whether someone was Christian or not, rather than in terms of white and nonwhite, but it stands as a historical 'segue between the religious intolerance of the Middle Ages and the naturalistic racism of the modern era,' writes historian and author George M. Fredrickson, in its incipient biologization of difference. Similarly, while it was never universally accepted, the so-called curse of Ham gradually connected Black Africans with Noah's son Ham, who was cursed by his father to be a servant. The curse was the basis for centuries of debate about the legitimacy of enslaving Black people; some used it to motivate enslavement, and others to oppose it." https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/a-prehistory-of-scientific-racism/ #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyScalaNaturaeGreatChainOfBeing #OtheringHateXenophobia #PolicyCulturalAssimilation #BeliefReligiousConversion ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodizationClassicalAntiquity ^[Wikipedia] #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #ToponymAfrica_ #BeliefTheismChristianity #MetaphorPeriodization12thCentury #MetaphorPeriodization13thCentury #MetaphorPurityRace #MetaphorPeriodizationMiddleAges #IRLAuthorGeorgeFredrickson #PhenomnBiologization #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfGenesis ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorNoahsArk #PowerControlChattelSlavery #BehaviourNormalisation

#NewspaperCHBrdshtTagesAnzeigerKalterinaLatifi "The surgical errors in speech surgery: 'I make the world how I like it.' Loosely based on Pippi Longstocking's life motto, the British children's book publisher Puffin (which belongs to the Penguin publishing group) has set about publishing the works of Roald Dahls, author of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', to adapt to today's highly sensitive language zeitgeist. The Dahl case, which caused a sensation in England in recent weeks, is just one example of many; the mutilation of the work for the purpose of supposedly child- and youth-friendly smoothing has been a thing for a long time. According to today's philological standard, the following rule applies: an author's work may only be intervened in if there is a clear error that distorts the meaning. Changes to the content, on the other hand, are taboo. However, what the language moralists in the form of organizations such as 'Inclusive Minds' are now doing with regard to Dahl's work are much more than just philological interventions; these are serious changes, even unauthorized cleansing and, let's call it a spade, conscious falsifications. Inclusion is feigned: all people should find themselves in the texts; nobody should feel excluded or discriminated against by them. However, this inclusion is to be achieved by excluding unpleasant statements, in other words: by deleting or bluntly paraphrasing (allegedly) sensitive terms, (allegedly) problematic figures and (allegedly) outdated values. Anything that could be hurtful, provocative or otherwise irritate over-sensitive souls or throw them off their emotional track must be embellished. Here 'embellished' is just an embellished word for 'censored'. Because what else is this 'embellishment' than a censorship exercised after the fact? And what do Dahl's texts look like after this speech-plastic surgery? 'fat' becomes 'enormous', 'three sons' becomes 'three daughters', one character no longer reads the work of Rudyard Kipling but of Jane Austen; a witch who pretends to be a 'supermarket cashier' can now call herself a 'top scientist', i.e. a top scientist! And what does all this have to do with Roald Dahl? Fortunately, the publisher received a lot headwind, and has now decided to offer Dahl's work both in the original version and in the sanitized version. This means that both sides have been appeased. But the question remains: Where will this lead? Censoring what might appear discriminatory from today's point of view - doesn't that mean above all: locking oneself up in a value bubble in which the 'today's view' is repeatedly confirmed in a circular movement? Franz Kafka once demanded that a book 'must be the ax for the frozen sea within us'. We can now gradually say goodbye to this idea; from 'today's point of view', that's exactly what literature should no longer be. Incidentally, Pippi has also fallen victim to censorship" (24 March 2023). https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/die-denkfehler-der-sprachmoralisten-452505357250 #1969_PippiLangstrump #PhenomnCensorshipRedaction #BrandPuffinBooks #IRLAuthorNovelistRoaldDahl #1964_CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory #PhenomnLanguageEffectInclusive #CharacterisationWeaknessHypersensitivity #IRLAuthorRudyardKipling #IRLHistoricalFigureJaneAusten #IRLAuthorFranzKafka

"You want your child not to get caught up in the woke meander!! Give him Kipling as soon as he can read"

"And you can see the work of your life destroyed And without saying a single word begin to rebuild, Or lose in one fell swoop the winnings of a hundred games Without a gesture and without a sigh; If you can be a lover without being mad with love, If you can be strong without ceasing to be tender, And, feeling hated, without hating in turn, Yet fight and defend yourself: If you can bear to hear your words Distorted by beggars to excite fools, And to hear their foolish mouths lie about you Without lying a word yourself; If you can remain worthy by being popular, If you can remain a people by advising kings, And if you can love all your friends as brothers, Without any of them being everything to you; If you know how to meditate, observe and know, Without ever becoming skeptical or destructive, Dream, but without letting your dream be your master, Think without being just a thinker; If you can be tough without ever being angry, If you can be brave and never reckless, If you know how to be good, if you know how to be wise, Without being moral or pedantic; If you can meet Triumph after Defeat And receive these two liars on the same front, If you can keep your courage and your head When all the others lose them, Then Kings, Gods, Luck and Victory Will forever be your submissive slaves, And what is better than Kings and Glory You will be a man, my son." #IRLAuthorRudyardKipling #1895_If #TheoryPhilosophyStoicism
