I could stomach that latter reasoning, even though I think implementation is suicidal. This is the prism for viewing progressives that I offer, that destroying any previous viewpoints (even those I think were destructive and would be happy to see disappear) is the parallel goal to teaching woke sentiments. No competitors must be allowed on the field.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-50895912927840042152021-05-11T12:40:33.744-04:002021-05-11T12:40:33.744-04:00Excellent point.

I don't have the exact words, but the sense of it was:<br /><br />"They taught us that our religion was false, that our food was bad, that the way we dressed was wrong, that..."<br /><br />Isn't this precisely what is being taught to the people of the western world by the 'woke'?David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-13145738780583654092021-05-10T23:17:59.934-04:002021-05-10T23:17:59.934-04:00To properly shape new human minds free from the ca...To properly shape new human minds free from the cancerous effects of any impurities, you must begin by clearing away all the old lessons. Clearly, since they did not shape "the perfect man" before, they must be tainted and must be removed.<br /><br />That's giving the erasers the benefit of the doubt, of course. I suspect that envy plays a huge role.<br /><br />When I wandered about in Berlin in between meetings a few years ago, it struck me how many references that area had to musical giants of the past, and I wondered how daunting it must be for a would-be composer to be compared to them. The temptation to use shortcuts must be huge.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.com
