Coming soon, to a federal bureaucracy near you! Equity commissars!

Well, hopefully they read this piece -- Lessons from Microbes: What Can We Learn about Equity from Unculturable Bacteria? -- from mSphere, one of the journals of the American Society for Microbiology, for a solid grounding on the subject.

The sickest thing is that this:

"3) These legitimised knowledges then become dominant discourses in society and simply the way to speak about things. Everybody is unavoidably socialized into them and cannot escape being so."

is that "legitimised knowledges" are EXACTLY what the leftists have been using their control of the media to produce for many decades, in order to take control of our institutions by controlling the discussion of everything.

It really is so diabolical it's difficult to fully comprehend.

Do you have any thoughts on what proportion of this population doesn't actually believe in this madness but recognize, as stated in the above comment, that it WORKS? Whatever else you might say about the validity of Social Justice, their strategy is wildly successful. It could be that a lot of them are just pragmatic and, as Thomas Sowell has said, have a "versatility of convictions".

Wow! Had to use an exclamation point❗️to show how absurd this explanation is. What makes it worse are the elite whites proclaiming diversity yet they are primarily white while screaming white supremacy 🤦‍♀️ As if I would ever use the UN to educate me. The entire UN has abandoned their original conception and now need dismantled and kicked out of NYC.

I was thinking that yesterday. What happened to the light blue helmets in war zones? Who gave em a mandate to do other stuff?

"There will be equity apparatchiks in federal governmental agencies!"

Actually, we have had Marxist apparatchiks in U.S. federal government agencies for nearly 100 years. I am now reading my third book, each written by a different author, that documents this little known part of American history. But without ever hearing this concealed history, how would most Americans know that equity is the latest euphemism for socialism or communism? They wouldn't and they don't. When communism comes to the U.S., it will come under acceptable or even beloved labels like equity, social justice and democracy, experts on Marxism say. P.S. The army of skeletons is appropriate for social justice day since Marxism is the world's deadliest ideology. (Another little known fact.)

What are the books you're reading?

Expand full comment

I recommend reading "American Betrayal" by Diana West, "Dupes: How America's Adversaries have Manipulated Progressives for a Century" by Paul Kengor, and "Stalin's Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt's Government" by M. Stanton Evans. I am working on summarizing all of this in a future issue of my "2026" Substack at 2026.substack.com.

Great comment. Don't know what books you have been reading but if Diana West's book "American Betrayal" isn't on the list you might check it out, too. I found it to be shockingly eye-opening.

Yes, it is one of the books I've been reading. I agree that it is shocking and very enlightening.

As always, I advocate for justice and mental health for families of adults and children in the glitter rabbit hole of cross sex ideation, which is a psychiatric illness, not healed by exogenous hormones or surgeries. In fact, I'm now finding, based on the trans widows' testimonies, that manic episodes by men on estrogen are commonly dismissed by those who write the scrips as "just a second adolescence, like a teenager." Women are getting hurt during their husbands' manic episodes.

The collateral damage is in the families of both minors and adults.

Wow. This is something else.

The UN looks to have understood potential problems with 'social justice' at one point in time: "Present-day believers in an absolute truth identified with virtue and justice are neither willing nor desirable companions for the defenders of social justice." pg 2 in Social Justice in an Open World: The Role of the United Nations, 2006.

How I long for the days of yore... 2006

I long for those days, too, but PC long predates 2006. It has roots in Boasian anthropology.

To get a high enough objective view of what is going on, to see with understanding, needs key foundational facts. Here are some:

1. Western society is the result of philosophical planning and creation of society. e.g. Philosophical planning in Plato was used to create the religious political system sometimes referred to as Judaeo/Christian western civilisation. (See 'Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible' by Russell Gmirkin, Routledge Press. Plenty of discussions on YTube.)

2. The original 'Plan in Plato' remained in use, and underwent small modifications and improvements over many centuries.

3. *A MAJOR UPGRADE* involving genre transition from religious narrative to natural/scientific narrative has been underway since the Enlightenment. This is a very very slow, only gradually unfolding upgrade!* Where each historical era lays the foundation for the next!* The goal in Plato, which is still being aimed for, is a perpetual system of belief, with specific IDEAS founding world view and the relations of the general population (i.e. believers in the stories and values those stories encapsulate. Think of all the bible stories that were made up and making real historical 'events' and putting stories with specific values to them as a new 'biblical history' not religious but following the philosophical planning in Plato that founded Christianity.)

(* e.g. Fichte's New German schooling, early 1800's, had a core value of GERMAN NATIONALISM! This planned value system laid the foundation to undermine the idea of Nations as good thus making the way for Global, 'United Nations' rule and it is being used now to define white men in particular as inherently, unavoidably 'evil' because they couldn't avoid being indoctrinated to their superiority. Thus if you're in that group, then the woke will see you as the new face of white nationalism - a Nazi, never capable of salvation but only a life of gradual partial sanctification by the repentance of a change of mind and actions because they realise they are inherently sinful and need to be saved by repentance .... and so on. The values worked into history in the lectures of Fichte in 1804-5 and 1807-8 are being used now as foundational values for world and they are being taught in schools and universities over the world and being promoted by governments and mainstream media. These things are not natural developments but very well planned ideological philosophical manipulation!

4. Some details of the genre transition, the transplanting of the 'Religious Sense', using schools/universities are in Johann Fichte's educational lectures 'Characteristics of the Present Age' and Addresses to the German Nation', given in Berlin in the winters of 1804-5 and 1807-8.

5. In short, the result is that present day mainstream schooling and media are the upgraded version of religious/political systems of control in the former religious/Christian age, which followed lines laid out in Plato, upgraded with a genre change, again following many lines laid out in Plato.

6. This sentence is it:

THE SAME PHILOSOPHICAL PLANNING THAT FOUNDED CHRISTIANITY, IS BEING USED IN A NON-RELIGIOUS FORM NOW.

This is why so many see the faith basis disconnect from objective reality in the 'woke'. It's the same thing, just having undergone 2000 plus years of experienced refinement.

7. In Plato's planning, the idea is always to think ahead and make the believing generation wanted in the future. Ficthe makes it clear schools are the philosophical institution to make this happen. Fichte's lectures mention a stage of becoming free of Christianity and being more objective, but only as one of five stages/Ages. The final Age, the fifth, is described as a retrogression back to the original state of totalitarian belief/thought control that we think of as the core of the Dark Ages and Feudalism associated with the fulfillment of Plato's unimproved plan i.e. Christianity. We're heading for a worse 'Dark Ages' unless enough understand what is going on and we formulate effective strategies to make an objective reality based ideals and value system society.

Please ask me questions about the above and further details/understandings you are interested in. All of us are becoming more objectively aware in our own ways. fBut, without enough base key facts, we're basically up the creek of life without paddles to get traction and power for self determination and we'll just end up being taken for a ride where we have little real control.

Cheers all

Sincerely

david

Snakes in the Ganga sounds fascinating and alarming. Especially given India's large population and rise to becoming a prominant player on the global stage.

What are we celebrating? Easy: The slow decay of intelligent, open, free thought and expression! (Oh, and don't forget groupthink and The Two Minutes' Hate. Oh oh oh: And don't forget hatred of WSM, because that's going to save the rest of mankind.)
