@victor-meldrew Right there is the most ignorant, racist shite you could get. A classic example of anti-racists having a prejudiced view of the world .
Ignore the history and how mathematics developed, ignore the current situation, basically have a white supremacist view of the world, project that shite, and bask in the ignorance of critical race theory. A level of cognitive dissonance right up there with the religiously devoted.Wait till they find out the skin colour of the folk who invented mathematics... is it cultural appropriation?

fair enough if they just dont want the picture any more but the reasons seem bizarre considering, according to Wiki, 48 countries have gained independence from the commonwealth during her Reign....hardly the figurehead of colonialism
I wonder how much money comes down from any "royal" organisation?
If we must watch all these institutions slowly become impractical and slovenly, perhaps we could speed up the process with user (abuser) pays initiatives

I used to think that. But the continued outpouring of love for Jacinda from many of the worlds media may have changed that ...

Hehe. That is probably a bit tongue in cheek and the following isn't to do with your comment.
When young people (mostly students) start earning money and paying taxes and buying houses and supporting kids and planning for retirement, their views change a bit. The pendulum may swing too but it will get stopped when they all turn into members of the fern.

It's a typical me post. Dripping in sarcasm, with the slightest hint of fear that it may be true. Added some dots as upon re-reading, it does look rather serious. Best I sort that shit out, and quickly.

Time in the real world tends to fix things quickly. It's the old saw... If you're not a socialist at 20, you have no heart. If you're still a socialist at 40, you have no brain.
So many of my friends have made the journey across the political spectrum as they age. It's tragically predictable

New York Times editor, Mara Gay was “disturbed” to see “dozens of American flags” during a weekend trip to Long Island, New York. Was also distressed to see anti-Biden slogans on sides of trucks, apparently.

She's got a point. At no point did any Democrat try and act / suggest that Trump wasn't their president. No point at all.

Research Article in Medical Journal Describes Whiteness as 'Malignant, Parasitic-Like Condition
A research article published last month in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association called whiteness "a malignant, parasitic-like condition." That description, along with other language in the article, has caused public anger, and the backlash against the author was evident on social media. The article, titled On Having Whiteness, was written by Dr. Donald Moss, a white man who is a faculty member of both the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. In the article, Moss wrote that "'white' people have a particular susceptibility" to the "parasitic" condition, which he claims "renders its hosts' appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse." He explained he believed whiteness establishes "entitled dominion" that enables the "host" to have "power without limit, force without restriction, violence without mercy," and increases one's drive to "terrorize."

@victor-meldrew dehumanising a group of people is step one in beginning violence against them.
-
@kirwan hate to say it but violence is nigh on inevitable to redress the nonsense that passes for sense making in western civilisation over the last decade or so. The only question is when and how much.
Reality is too distorted and history has illustrated this "remedy" time and time again.

You're lucky enough to witness the end of Western civilization. The beginning of our end
Sadly there are people like the author of that ridiculous paper who think acting like that will save him.
We're simply too comfortable and as such become weak as we've attempted to provide equality and justice. All the important battles have been won so the latest generation, mired in ignorance from a failing education system, embrace failed belief structures to fight ideological battles such as the right if mentally ill men to pretend they're women.
Meanwhile real theats are materialising but we're distracted, fighting amongst ourselves.

Not too sure about that - but we are looking at the end of a period of unquestioning belief in basic western values.
We're simply too comfortable and as such become weak as we've attempted to provide equality and justice.
I actually think promoting equality and justice makes us stronger. Getting opportunities to people in the lower parts of society makes sense economically and benefits society as a whole. The trick is to get the better-off part of society to see the benefits of doing this and doing it wisely.
Sadly, I think the likes of the loon who wrote the article, and the likes of BLM are more interested in their own egos, careers and wallet size than providing the opportunities for the poorest in society to improve their lives or increase their wealth.

Want to avoid violence as it's just causes more problems.
I've thought for some time the West needed to have a fully left-wing woke government in power so people could see the actual consequences of abandoning common sense and implementing policies based primarily on skin-colour and culture. We've seen some of those consequences in the UK and it's caused a big change for the better when people have woken up to reality.
Biden's Democrats are the nearest to it at the moment with the fixation on Trans people in sport and the push to give welfare and grants to business based on race and historical wrongs.

Oxfam training guide blames ‘privileged white women’ over root causes of sexual violence
An Oxfam staff training document says “privileged white women” are supporting the root causes of sexual violence by wanting "bad men" imprisoned. In the wake of sex scandals that have rocked the charity, Oxfam has produced guidance which states that: “Mainstream feminism centres on privileged white women and demands that ‘bad men’ be fired or imprisoned”. Accompanied by a cartoon of a crying white woman, it adds that this “legitimises criminal punishment, harming black and other marginalised people”. It advises staff to read a controversial book which concludes: “Mainstream feminism is supporting, not undoing, the root causes of sexual violence.” Summarising the book’s central premise, the Oxfam document says white feminists need to ask themselves whether they are causing harm when they fight sexual violence. It then links to Prof Phipps’s Twitter account and a thread which summarises the main themes of the book, including: “White feminist tears deploy white woundedness, and the sympathy it generates, to hide the harms we perpetuate through white supremacy.”
