"...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!"

Addendum the video, which is emblazoned with the caption "Raise up a chile in the way, they should got", shows a mother holding her child with a bib on who is holding a keyring with a toy pistol attached to it. The mother pulls back the bib to reveal the pistol, and the cameraperson chuckles.

They create unreal scenarios of threat and danger, and then they position themselves as the only party and the only politicians who can save 'us' from this crisis and danger. In this way, they first create fear and then hope. This is an interdependent pattern. Which is, of course, not new, which has existed for many, many centuries; but they are very clever at employing this pattern." https://www.populismstudies.org/prof-ruth-wodak-i-am-very-worried-about-the-future-of-europe/

"The lack of reality of the Woke left cannot be better illustrated.
Even if the woke-left claim were correct that everything male is destroying the planet and therefore everything male must be ended, the claim remains completely unrealistic.
Woke leftists will never make all of Europe woke. They will certainly not succeed in getting China woke or in patriarchal Muslim societies pushing back the masculine or even ending it. Neither in South America nor in Africa can the corresponding patriarchal societies be ended at the push of a button by woke-left Germans.

"Habermas sees the modern public sphere as, in many ways, the victim of its own success. As it expanded far beyond its original basis of educated male property-owners, material inequalities could no longer be set aside, but rather became the subject of public debate (1962 [1989: 127]). And this debate was no longer a matter of rational-critical analysis of state action by the assembled public, but of negotiation between interest groups which bypass public reason. Instead of the approximation of society to the ideal type, what emerged was an impoverished pseudo-public sphere, lacking its original capacity for rational-critical discourse, easily manipulated by states, corporations, and interest groups using the techniques of 'public relations' (1962 [1989: 176, 236]). Its role now, as in the feudal era, is to acclaim decisions which have already been made." [encyclopædia] #IRLPhilosopherJurgenHabermas #TheoryThePublicSphere #PoliticsFeudalism [Wikipedia]

Addendum presumably a reference to fact that #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk was born in #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica (and that being African means that you must also be black - because as we all know, there are no white people living in or from Africa). The 'joke' here takes a literal interpretation of 'African' + 'American' - and infers that #ToponymAfrica_ is ethnically homogenous i.e. making an #PoliticsNationalismEthno assumption.

And it isn't because of white capitalist evils...that blame-game is getting old and its getting boring...
Playing a victim is hip & #woke, because it means never needing to succeed on one's own. [URL redacted]

The film industry has long had a frustrating habit of whitewashing history and movies about Cleopatra - thanks to white actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, Hildegard Neil, Claudette Colbert and Vivien Leigh - have cemented her western appearance on screen. Gadot in the role continues this trend, but it's not as clear-cut as that. The actor does tick the box for Middle Eastern and north African (MENA) representation, so she's not as western a choice as either Angelina Jolie or Lady Gaga would have been - who had both previously been linked to the role. But it still perpetuates a white standard of foreignness. It's a situation similar to that of Naomi Scott, an actor of mixed English and Indian ancestry who was cast as Jasmine in the recent Aladdin remake. Scott is just 'other' enough to mean that the film-makers could not be accused of whitewashing (though it's still unclear which ethnicity anyone is meant to be in Disney's orientalist fantasy), but it's still an example of cultural ventriloquism that sees the continued bias towards light-skinned minorities who adhere to a western aesthetic." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/14/gal-gadot-cleopatra-backwards-step-for-hollywood-representation #IRLActorElizabethTaylor, #IRLActorHildegardNeil, #IRLActorClaudetteColbert and #IRLActorVivienLeigh #IdentityMiddleEasternAndNorthAfricanMENA #IRLActorAngelinaJolie #IRLCelebrityLadyGaga #IRLActorNaomiScott #2019_Aladdin [Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterPrincessJasmine #OtheringCaricatureImperialismOriental #BrandDisney #PowerControlExclusionWhitewashing
