@TaliaMagoon [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [05]: My ears are still ringing from #KatharineBirbalsingh's #racist dog whistles about #Woke & #CRT. By linking them also to kids who identify as animals brings to mind -*nudge/wink*- the "half devil, half child" in Kipling's "White Man's Burden".

"...so why do I need to throw all of you into detention? 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!"

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.

#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

"Kölnin tapahtumissa samanlaisia piirteitä kuin Tahririn aukiolla* Puolustusministeri Niinistön perjantainen rinnastus Tahririn aukion, Kölnin ja Suomen välillä on ymmärrettävä, arvioi vanhempi tutkija Toni Alaranta Ulkopoliittisesta instituutista.
- Sen lisäksi, että Tahririn aukio muodostui vallankumousliikehdinnän keskukseksi, siellä raportoitiin huomattava määrä sellaisia andistelutapauksia, joissa suuri miesjoukko ympäröi tai saartoi yksittäisen naisen. Oli koudmista ja seksuaalista häirintää.
- Ei tämä ihan käsittämätön rinnastus ole. Kölnin tapahtumissa näyttää olevan selvästi samanlaisia piirteitä kuin Tahririn aukiolla, Alaranta sanoo. [Cologne events have similar features to Tahrir Square* Minister of Defense Niinistö's comparison between Tahrir Square, Cologne and Finland on Friday is understandable, says senior researcher Toni Alaranta from the Foreign Policy Institute.
- In addition to becoming the centre of the revolutionary movement, Tahrir Square reported a significant number of cases of extradition in which a large number of men surrounded or besieged an individual woman. There was bullying and sexual harassment.
- This is not an incomprehensible analogy. The events in Cologne seem to have clearly similar features to those in Tahrir Square, Alaranta says.]" #ToponymEuropeGermanyCologne #ToponymAfricaNorthEgyptCairoTahrirSquare #PhenomnHarassmentSexual #PhenomnImmigration #OrgClassifPPFISininenTulevaisuusSINJussiNiinisto #OrgFIFinnishInstituteOfInternationalAffairsFIIAToniAlaranta https://www.fiia.fi/en/expert/toni-alaranta
