It is no secret to anyone that in today’s world many strange things are presented, and not a few disturbing ones. An example of this could be the CHAZistan phenomenon, the process by which six blocks of downtown Seattle were occupied by protesters. And it is that a group of people, some under the banners of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, entered the heart of a modern city and simply proclaimed that it was theirs.

In a way, it could be said that there was a “conference of the parties”, to adopt the nomenclature of the largest talk to reach an agreement or reach a common understanding. It was a purely one-sided event. This being so, it has been expressed that various factions simply snapped their fingers, so to speak, made their claim, armed their fences, and raised their guards. And with that, it would be enough to be theirs.

Clearly, there are a lot of people living in these six crowded blocks, and others going to work there. Indeed, it is notorious that for all intents and purposes they have been stripped of their own citizenship, which is, or used to be, before this new madness took hold, a major problem. They have been stripped of their security since the police are not allowed to enter. Likewise, their city, state and national government have effectively abandoned them.

Folly present

It is worth noting a much more insignificant part of the current folly, which occurred recently in Toronto. And it is that Elaine (Lainey) Lui, apparently an “interpreter” in eTalk and The Social, recently violently launched herself at Jessica Mulroney. Then it was discovered that she herself had written several racist and homophobic blog posts in the past, likewise, after being caught, she took the easy path and made an artificial public apologies that are now in vogue among people. you wake up and get caught up in your own hypocrisy. Something similar to, I have evolved; that was my previous self; What a dirty and rotten bastard I was, but not anymore, because now I am an awakened saint. Now, arguably the weirdest part was her central excuse. Lui is of Asian descent, but had apparently been overwhelmed by forces outside her own heritage.

Likewise, what it really says is that her failures and mistakes have nothing to do with her, her agency or her world view. Instead, it was the great devouring monster of “white supremacy” that did its horrible magic and, even if only for a time took care of her.

In addition, the final flight to the strange and disturbing comes from the CBC administration. They are also on a racial repair flight. And as part of their great effort to diversify, they have promised that the entire new administration will undergo “mandatory training in unconscious bias”.

Meanwhile, the list of ideas CBC wants to leave firmly unexplored would require a roll of considerable length. CBC is a store closed to a variety of views, unaware of its stifling superior judgment claim, and not overburdened with the nationwide understanding it is compelled to support.
