Shailene Panylo says we must have difficult conversations then says things not up to debate. She speaks nonsense from beginning to end. She pretends certain racial groups are in danger. Truth is these racial groups seek unfair advantages in societal competitions. Group equity initiatives will lead to violence and social destruction, as they create a cultural war.

Correct. She has to read the critical theory mantra They are nonsensical but they are dangerous when unchallenged. We cannot ignore / submit to the ideology behind this.

My dear James, watching and listening to that wretched girl was absolutely heartbreaking.

I only ever learned about The Inquisition and its discourse and methods out of books when I studied history. I was born too late to have ever had the opportunity to hear Hitler Youth talking about the status of Jews and Germany's manifest destiny. I never went to China to listen and watch during the Cultural Revolution, while Red Guards interrogated old teachers and party officials, who were accused of decadent bourgois thinking and betraying the revolution.

I just got my first, first hand taste of really hardnosed totalitarian party line discourse in practice in of all places, a once confidently democratic society. And it was very hard to watch without getting really angry. I had to keep replaying the piece because I was becoming distracted and unable to just listen to the appalling rhetoric coming out of that woman's mouth. I kept losing my temper. All I could hear was some version of a neo-clerical fascism and the barking of the dogs of war, because that woman will one day sanction the torture and killing of people who refuse to conform to her nonnegotiable agenda.

I have never heard anything so appalling coming out of the mouth of a western 'educated' person. And I put 'educated' in inverted commas because it is the sort of thing one might get from someone trained in a seminary, or a Nazi/Communist propaganda organ.

Your critical analysis was first class. Motte and Bailey deconstruction is quite a complex exercise, which is why emotionally manipulative Orwellian doublespeak is so successful at eluding any but the best prepared and alert intellect. Most people just get bluffed and overrun.

I have a four part monniker to remember Woke tactics, which are Fluff (exaggerate the small into the large) Crib (breach categories by going over their boundaries so that the fluffing can expand into it without appearing to do so) then we Fudge (occupy the space the crib gained entry into by conflating the fluff into the space it has taken over) and finally bluff (aggressive moral and intellectual presumption that gives the impression of authority and certainity).

It is a variation on the Motte and Bailey theme. Hope it helps. Am calming down.....

Jim: Could you expand on your statement, "Group equity initiatives will lead to violence..." On a different point the CLAN picture says it represents white supremacy. This is ridiculous; the 'clan' is only one small and despicable part of all things white. Talking about school boards and I think in general, they are made up of a mix of activists who have an agenda as to how the social fabric of the schools should change and others who see their spot on a school board as a stepping stone to another political office. The public really needs to pay more attention to whom they allow on these boards...as we see they can do enormous harm.

who elects these people? do they get elected because "normal" people don't run? i researched the slate in the last municipal elections in Langford and they were all like this, similar ideological bents. Their platforms are usually carefully couched in non-inflammatory words and maybe most people can't see what's lurking in behind. I guess. How to explain the numbers of people like this that get elected?

We need to advise all public in Canada of the importance of reviewing the over looked and often not thought out vote of who we vote for a trustee (I myself until Sept this year was guilty of this very thing)

Panylo could not be more wrong.

And Linda Stone is entirely correct.
