James Pew writes about trans shooter “who killed three children and three school staff at a Christian School in Nashville.”
“In the manifesto we learn that the killer was motivated by the Social Justice narrative which demonizes white Christians for their ‘privilege.’”
This is exactly what kids learn in classrooms across Canada. I challenged colleagues and administrators but made no head way with those who had drunk the CRT vitriol.
Why do some hate whites, males, Jews and other groups, and blame them for many of the world's problems?
The same reason that DEI/Critical Race Theory is so popular among some people.
Instead of looking inside yourself for the cause and solution of a person's personal failures and shortcomings it's easier to blame others for your problems.
Then you take no responsibility for your own actions because someone else caused your problems.
You then don't have to take the difficult step of changing yourself to improve.
The trans shooter was motivated by the hate of white Christians, clearly, which is why it took a leak to reveal it. More generally, Walia, Palmateer and their ilk hate the West and all that created it.
In a recent article Matt Osborne (a military historian and member of the LGB Alliance) talks about gnosticism and compares it to wokeism: https://www.osborneink.com/p/why-is-everyone-talking-about-hegel , Nov. 4, 2023. (I usually read Matt on the substack The Distance, but this was a cross post from his “Osborne Ink” substack.) It’s a longish article, but worth a read. A few sample sentences:
<< Defenders of wokeness often challenge interlocutors to define ‘wokeness.’ Here is a simple definition: wokeness is 21st century gnosticism, or if you prefer, activist mysticism.
<< Magical thinking requires the banishment of doubt. . . . When reality inevitably clashes with theory, and the ‘right side of history’ fails to show up, gnostic movements turn to violence.
<< If you read a lot of what they say, they don’t really have an idea or an end-point to what it’s going to be. They just know that eventually they’ll get to Utopia if they deconstruct enough of our institutions and then rebuild them essentially in their image. . . . The yearning for Utopia, the methodology to reach Utopia — it never considers the past failures of such methods. >>
I am not sure about the accuracy of your assumption behind the comment, "these activists ... refuse to consider that perhaps they are fomenting discontent in peaceful societies, and in so doing, they are committing an outrageous disservice to their fellow citizens". I would not be quick to assume that their motivation excludes fomenting discontent, including violence. Many believe in "tear it all down" and rip it apart, revolutionary action. Marxists and neo Marxist; sanctimonious, angry creeps which are only worthy of ridicule.
Wow !!! What a piece of work. How is it that she wasn't charged with a hate crime. Talk about a missed opportunity. Society needs to protect itself from such vitriolic extremism. What would Charles Dickens say if he were alive today ???

she's still busy on X (formerly Twitter). The Hamas attack was inspirational for her, needless to say.
I wonder why she doesn’t return to Bahrain if 🇨🇦 is such a terrible place?
