Disunity and Division
“politics is like boxing — you try to knock out your opponents” — Edi Amin, 1976
“We live on unceded territory” in British Columbia. Apparently, certain indigenous nations have taken this to mean the conferring of their right to prohibit public access to public spaces. Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation has recently closed Tofino to non indigenous public access for some kind of sacred whale carcass ceremony, until further notice. On April 25th, Líl̓wat Nation and N'Quatqua closed Joffrey Lake to public access so that indigenous people could connect with the land. The park will reopen on May 17th.
“Apartheid refers to a system of governance that imposes different laws, living conditions, and opportunities based on race.”
Add this to the ongoing lie about the mass grave of 215 children, add it to the indigenous weaponisation of victimhood against non indigenous Canadians, and the incredibly racist and dehumanising settler colonial narrative — Truth and Reconciliation has morphed into Lies and Alienation.
Readers will recall the 215 mass grave story as a claim made based on some GPR findings from approximately 4 years ago. The GPR analysis identified over 200 areas of interest “that have many characteristics of grave shafts”. We have always known, states Chief RoseAnne Archibald.
What’s that even mean, reader?
To me it means nothing at all. I see it as a manipulation, an attempt to carve out a narrative that smells like Holocaust envy. I won’t delve too deeply into this GPR controversy, because it’s been widely explored and those articles are easily accessed by readers. I mentioned the 215 lie here as an obvious example of the egregious abuse that has come to define Truth and Reconciliation, transforming it into Lies and Alienation.
“Feudal society refers to a social system characterized by a hierarchical structure in which land is owned by a small ruling class.”
Reader, that’s the problem with identity and Wokerati Social Justice—it’s a narrative management mechanism. Through the actions and policies of activists and identitarians, Social Justice has come to define itself as the strategic process of shaping and controlling the story of history and humanity. It espouses lies and leads to disunity and alienation in society.
Truth and Reconciliation weaponises victimhood, designates European people as a scapegoat, and then it dehumanises that group in Edi Amin fashion. Truth and Reconciliation extends blame to anyone who isn’t indigenous, including immigrants and refugees and descendants of slavery and plantocracy—labelling them as settlers.
Reader, note that North American native Indians engaged in the fur trade, which saw furs traded for rum. Reader, also note that rum production relied on the plantocratic system dominating sugar cane production. History is a complex thing and humans engaged in behaviour that fueled the abuse and exploitation of other humans. It’s best not to impose any modern day morality in an effort to fix history via the assignation of oppressor—oppressed labels onto historical figures.
History has no remedy.
Gender identity confabulates alternative facts, pretending that reproductive science is European imperialism, scapegoating women’s rights and claiming women’s rights are racist and genocidal because they exclude men. I’ve written at length about that issue in this publication so I won’t repeat myself.
Anti-racism distorts the history of slavery, repositioning it as targeting blacks people, it scapegoats Europeans exclusively as being racist and evil blah blah blah, ignoring the obvious human history of slavery and imperialism that’s reflected in the word slave, derived from Slav.
Reader, have you heard of Saqaliba? Trade in the East Slavic Camp by Sergei Ivanov (1913), seen above, tells a story of Islamic Arab enslavement of the Rus. According to Britannia, Ṣaqālibah, [refers to], in medieval Muslim Spain, Slavs, or people from the Black Sea coast north of Constantinople. Later, by extension, the term came to designate all foreign slaves in the military.
Reader, have you heard of Janissaries and child levy? This system of Ottoman Islamic recruitment, called devshirme, involved the recruitment of Christian boys from the Balkans to serve as soldiers and bureaucrats. Originating in the 14th century, the devshirme system was designed to provide the elite Janissary troops, as well as various state officials, by converting these boys to Islam and training them in military and administrative roles (via EBSCO).
Anti racism denies and ignores human history and projects the American Jim Crow perspective of race onto all of human history. It co-opts the history of slavery in service of an American vision of race, scapegoating British imperialism, ignoring Islamic imperialism, in service of some Franz Fanon-inspired decolonisation narrative.
Reader, it’s all the same delusional pseudo intellectualism masquerading as scholarly work. Wokerati Social Justice has revealed itself as a branding strategy, a marketing campaign, a Mad Men endeavour to remedy history. Historical storytelling doesn’t enter into the fictitious Wokerati discourse. Wokerati discourse, through the Social Justice it produces, does great damage to humanity, it weakens society, sewing the seeds of dissension and resentment for what amounts to the whims of collective narcissists.
Ironically, Wokerati Social Justice serves elitism, it originates from the most bourgeoisie echelons of society, it harms the poor and vulnerable and further marginalises the marginalised, it resembles colonialism whilst claiming decolonialist roots.
No Canadian politician can claim to work for Canadian unity without first renouncing Wokerati Social Justice.
Truth and Reconciliation has become Lies and Alienation, and as such it’s forever dead to me. Reader, I’m now uninterested in ever engaging that issue because it was always a lie, intended to scapegoat and punish as opposed to bring healing and reconciliation to Canadian society. Lying and narcissistic manipulation have destroyed any prospect for real reconciliation vis a vis residential school abuse in this country.
As a matter of fact, reader, boarding school was sh1tty and Catholic children suffered abuses too at the hands of clergy and religious. That’s widely known. It could be a bridge to healing to unite these Catholic victims with indigenous victims in a collective healing process. Instead the Lies and Alienation activists chose against engaging that path to reconciliation which would likely have been endorsed by the Vatican.
Healing can’t happen without the afflicted (ie victims) taking responsibility for their healing. Shifting blame onto those whom you perceive to be perpetrators outsources your own power and self determination. Yes, others may have abused you in the past. That past has no remedy. It’s your responsibility and no one else’s to heal and rehabilitate so you can move forward. We poop and we pee because to carry that waste in our bodies harms us. Renal failure ultimately leads to death. Bowel obstruction will lead to death if not rectified. Healing from trauma is like that, we must purge the toxins from our selves so we can make room for the life sustaining nourishments.
May we be wiser and more responsible in healing our wounds. May our leaders be wiser and more ethical. May our leaders reject Wokerati and identitarian narrative management.
Nailed it.
