Wales Demonstrates That Wokeism Is Cultural Genocide

It isn’t enough for woke iconoclasts to tear down the statues of great historical figures explicitly because they were white men, as planned by bureaucrats in Wales. As it is erased, Western heritage must be coercively replaced with pure moonbattery.

Wales is even forcibly conscripting private residential landlords to impose it. Elsewhere, consistent with the postmodern strategy of wielding power through language, social engineers are enacting Orwell’s 1984 by shrinking permissible vocabulary to the point of compulsory aphasia.

Political correctness is not just nauseating and oppressive. It is cultural genocide. The objective is to wipe Europeans and the civilization they created from the face of the earth. To give an inch to leftists on anything is to participate in this.

Wales Plans to Erase Historical Heroes for Being White Men

After Rome fell, its great heritage was not erased. Remnants of the Roman Empire stand to this day. But the British Empire was brought down by a more merciless enemy than barbarian hordes. It was rotted to death from within by leftists, who are incapable of grace or respect. Having vanquished the empire that did more than any other to advance the human race, they will leave no two stones standing one atop another:

Statues of “old white men” such as the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Lord Nelson could be hidden or destroyed to create the “right historical narrative”, according to Welsh government guidance.

Britain is part of Europe, so its heroes have been Europeans. Consequently, they must be erased in accordance with the politically correct historical narrative, according to which white people are evil for their dominant role in pulling the human race up from savagery.

Historical statues that often glorify “powerful, older, able-bodied white men” may be “offensive” to a more diverse modern public, according to guidance which is expected to be finalised this month.

Admiral Nelson lost an arm in combat, but was too great a man to be spared, despite not being entirely able-bodied. He has been denounced as not having a 21st century attitude toward the slave trade.

The government’s “best-practice” advice states that … authorities could “conceal commemorations” and “discretely box monuments or enclose them creatively in new artworks”.

Even if the vermin currently in charge hide the statues or defile them, at least these treasures might survive in case a better generation emerges. Or they might not:

Alternatively, “offensive or unwanted items” could be relocated or destroyed, the advisory documents state…

The planned vandalism is motivated largely by self-directed racial hate. The custodians of British tradition aim to destroy “colonial myths about white superiority,” as they bleat that “relative preponderance of white historians over other identities can skew understanding.”

Nothing is more likely to skew understanding than a preponderance of leftists applying George Orwell’s dictum: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” The ideologues in charge have decreed that Europe is to have no future.

Leftists utilize the weaponized hurt feelings of supposed victims as a cudgel with which to smash everything precious. According to Welsh bureauweenies,

existing monuments “can be offensive to people today who see them in a different light”, including as “aggressors who conquered peoples to expand the British Empire”.

What could be more offensive than to see progressives erase the British Empire from history? It’s like watching the Mona Lisa get eaten by maggots.

It isn’t just Wales. Inspired by Black Lives Matter bullies, London’s Metropolitian Police compiled a “contentious statues” list that included Winston Churchill himself.

If there had been no Churchill, and Britain had been conquered by the Nazis, the destruction of its heritage would have been less complete.

Disney Memory Holes Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

The moonbats running Disney are custodians of American popular culture. That has put them in a position to stuff another piece of Americana down the memory hole:

The iconic song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” has been removed from Disneyland’s Magic Happens parade, presumably because it originated from the controversial 1946 feature Song of the South.

Disney also closed the classic Splash Mountain ride at Disney World because it refers to Song of the South, which has been erased because it is now regarded as thoughtcrime.

“Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” entered the American zeitgeist in 1946 when black American actor James Baskett performed it in the part-animated/part-live action movie Song of the South. Baskett would make history by becoming the first black man to win an Oscar for his portrayal of Uncle Remus and “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” would go on to earn its rightful place in the American songbook.

That rightful place has been revoked because “racism.”

Imaginary Climate History

In George Orwell’s 1984, protagonist Winston Smith’s job at the Ministry of Truth is to erase documentation of the past so that it can be reinvented to serve the current political interests of the ruling party. As Orwell wrote, “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

Tony Heller demonstrates how this is principle is applied to the weather record, now that even that has been politicized:

In the future, everything Heller documents will disappear down the memory hole. We will remember a past that never happened.

Pentagon Prioritizes Erasing Southerners

The reason the USA was able to reunite and become cohesive after the Civil War is that the North had enough grace to respect and honor the vanquished. The leftists now running the federal government have no such grace:

The Department of Defense said last week that Pentagon officials began working on renaming military infrastructure tied to the Confederate States of America by the start of 2024.

Officials announced plans to rename nine U.S. Army bases, two U.S. Navy ships, and more than 1,000 items on American military installations.

Barks Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder:

“I think we are confident, you know, each of the services has clear instructions in terms of what it is that they need to focus on…”

Yes, under the direction of leftists like Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and Commander in Chief Joe Biden, each of the services is well aware of what to focus on: promoting moonbattery. Meanwhile, our communist Chinese adversaries build and plot and laugh.

How much will this exercise in militantly intolerant political correctness cost the taxpayer?

Ryder did not disclose the total cost of the project. However, the Naming Commission’s final report calculated the amount to be approximately $62.5 million.

The national debt is well over $31 TRILLION and rocketing upward. Reckless government spending is holding inflation above 7%. But the Biden Regime has priorities that take precedence over our economic well-being, like defeating the Confederate States of America, which ceased to exist 158 years ago.

If Southerners had expected that they would be contemptuously erased from history, their highly developed sense of honor might have prevented them from surrendering in their quest for independence. Fighting a guerrilla campaign to the last man would have been preferable.

Founding Fathers Diversified

It isn’t enough to erase our heritage. First, they have to render it grotesque:

The new Broadway revival of the classic musical 1776 features a cast comprised entirely of women, transgender, and “non-binary” actors. The woke staging, courtesy of the prestigious Roundabout Theatre Company and American Repertory Theater, officially opened Thursday at the American Airlines Theatre in New York, with a national tour expected to kick off next year.

Stripping Joan of Arc of her womanhood by making her nonbinary was only the beginning.

1776 dramatizes the signing of the Declaration of Independence, following John Adams (played by actress Crystal Lucas-Perry) as he attempts to persuade members of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia to declare independence from Britain.

Now it dramatizes liberal social engineers declaring independence from reality.

Among the transgender and “non-binary” cast members is a performer named Sav Souza… Souza recently declared on Instagram that transgender people existed back in 1776.

If you watch contemporary news footage of the Continental Congress carefully, you can see transgender people flying by on winged unicorns.

“Trans People Have Always Existed – they existed in 1776, and they absolutely exist ON BROADWAY!” the actor wrote alongside a photo displaying what appears to be her double mastectomy scars.

Good thing the Founding Fathers had no idea what we would do with the country they bequeathed to us, or they would not have risked their necks to create it.

Happy Columbus Day

Whatever moonbats choose to call it, this is Columbus Day. On Thanksgiving, we give thanks to God for the blessings we enjoy. Today, we acknowledge that many of these blessings come via Western Civilization, which Columbus personified by spreading to the New World.

For this reason, leftists hate Columbus. He is undergoing cancelation, as evidenced by the dozens of Columbus statues that were torn down by Black Lives Matter mobs.

The arrival of Europeans lifted earlier inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere out of Stone Age savagery. Life for them had been nasty, brutish, and short.

Yet the ideology of our ruling class demands we pretend it was idyllic. Columbus is to be vilified as an oppressor of the indigenous. Given this viewpoint, renaming today as “Indigenous People’s Day” is equivalent to proclaiming December 25 to be Satan Day.

AMAC grieves for what our rulers want to take away:

How ironic, how stunning, how sad – that the day on which America celebrates our discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492, second Monday in October, was replaced by Joe Biden in 2021 with “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”

Despite the high position he was placed in, Joe Biden is not the kind of guy anyone could admire. Columbus was:

Daring enough to keep trying, unflinching when storms rake us, determined to persevere when others give up, ignited by curiosity, willing to think for ourselves, explore, learn, investigate, remain hopeful when others lose hope. That was Columbus.

These days, the qualities Columbus embodied are despised. We are expected to revere failure and self-pity. This is why statues of Columbus were destroyed in the name the low-life loser George Floyd and an ideology of sniveling victimhood.

Because Columbus was Italian, Columbus Day is also a day to celebrate Italian heritage. But Italians have assimilated to become Americans, so they are no longer to be celebrated. Instead, they are demonized along with other Caucasians.

We have two cultures now: the phony, sickly culture the liberal establishment wants to impose, and the real American culture that still celebrates Columbus Day.

Fort Hood to Be Renamed in Campaign to Erase Southerners

The erasure of our history continues. The leftists in control are replacing it with a new history more to their liking. Fort Hood is known to many as the site of the 2009 massacre by Nidal Hasan, who was allowed to fester until he finally killed 13 and wounded 29 because it would have been Islamophobic to notice the red flags he had been waving. In the future, it will be known as Fort Cavazos — because John Bell Hood, being Texan, fought for the South:

The new name will honor Gen. Richard Cavazos, who is noted for his leadership during the Korean War, when he earned the Silver Star and Distinguished Service Cross for leading the Puerto Rican regiment “The Borinqueers.”

Not to be confused with the Boring Queers, as the CNN prime time lineup has been called.

Hood lost an arm at Gettysburg and a leg at the Battle of Chickamauga. But his bravery pales in comparison to Cavazos’s status as a Mexican American.

Following the Fort Hood Massacre, Army Chief of Staff George Casey lamented, “As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” The renaming should help set his mind at ease.

The canceling of Confederates has been systematic:

The Commission on the Naming of Items of the Department of Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States of America, more commonly referred to as The Naming Commission, was a United States government commission created by the United States Congress in 2021 in order to rename military assets with names associated with the Confederate States of America. The Naming Commission was mandated by Section 370 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA), enacted on January 1, 2021.

The law requires the erasure of anyone who served voluntarily for the Confederacy from all assets of the Department of Defense within 3 years.

The grace that allowed healing after the Civil War has given way to cultural genocide. In the Cold Civil War, the leftist objective is absolute extirpation.

The legislation was influenced by the George Floyd protests in the summer of 2020 and resulting removal of Confederate monuments, which drew attention to the U.S. Army installations still named for Confederate soldiers.

That is, the Pentagon under moonbat rule is picking up where the sociopathic mobs that tore down statues commemorating American history left off, in honor of a low-life criminal who died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest.

This commission to erase Southerners in the name of George Floyd is chaired by Michelle Howard, the first black woman to be put in command of a US Navy ship. Let’s hope she had some qualification other than her historicness.

As they erase our history, they erase our culture. They erase us.

Laying the Groundwork to Cancel John Wayne

John Wayne became an icon by emblematizing the rugged individualism that made America great. This is why he must be canceled. However, Wayne remains such a cultural giant that despite their efforts Democrats have not even managed to change the name of John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. A disgraceful event from Hollywood history may give them the pretext they need.

Via History.com:

On March 27, 1973, the actor Marlon Brando declines the Academy Award for Best Actor for his career-reviving performance in The Godfather. The Native American actress Sacheen Littlefeather attended the ceremony in Brando’s place, stating that the actor “very regretfully” could not accept the award, as he was protesting Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans in film.

What a posturing, sanctimonious jackass. Note that the award he threw back in Tinseltown’s face was granted to him for playing an Italian mobster. This is closer to a bigoted stereotype than Hollywood’s white-washed depiction of the horrific Stone Age barbarism prevailing in the wild West before it was tamed.

Having portrayed the sort of guy who tamed it has John Wayne in the crosshairs of the thought police:

While some cheered Littlefeather on, many others voiced their disagreement with what she was saying. Amongst them was Wayne, who regularly starred as a cowboy who was often at odds with Indigenous characters.

“During my presentation, he was coming towards me to forcibly take me off the stage, and he had to be restrained by six security men to prevent him from doing so,” Littlefeather told The Guardian in a 2021 interview that has resurfaced.

Whether this is an accurate depiction of the event is irrelevant. Who is going to call Sacheen Littlefeather a liar? That could get you canceled — which is the fate they have in mind for John Wayne.

Get classics like The Searchers on DVD while you still can.

Vintage gag-inducing political correctness.

Liberal Agenda Applied Through Modern Art

To understand what leftism does to every institution it infiltrates, look to modern art, which succumbed to moonbattery long ago:

The escalation from passing trash off as art to using trash to deface real art exemplifies the malicious mentality of postmodernism. Critical Theory — prominently including our state religion under Democrat rule, Critical Race Theory — is an outgrowth of postmodernism (see the recommended book Cynical Theories for details).

Postmodernists seek to “deconstruct” — that is, to disfigure, desecrate, and destroy. Note that they do the same thing to children’s bodies by deconstructing gender.

The Culture War is total war. The losing side will be eradicated. If we lose, Thomas Picton will never have existed — and neither will any art worth looking at.

Joan of Arc Was Now Nonbinary

Liberal social engineers cleverly make efficient use of their resources by waging their War on History and War on Women simultaneously. Joan of Arc was no longer who she was. She was no longer a woman. Now she was “nonbinary”:

If Anne Boleyn can be an African, why can’t Joan of Arc be a sexually deranged freakazoid?

The patron saint of France ought to be grateful. By the time moonbats are through bringing Western Civilization into line with woke ideology, the only alternative great historical figures have to transmogrification will be erasure.

George Orwell described how it works:

“Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.”

If leftists remain in control of the present, we will have no past and no future.
