I haven’t said anything yet about the plans Labour have to teach ‘the evils of the British Empire’ and the horrors of slavery and colonialism at every level of education. Partly I haven’t bothered because it’s the political equivalent of an open goal. I pretty much suspect that every single person on my Facebook knows how idiotic such a plan is, I’ve also not said anything about it because we all know that what Labour is proposing already happens. Teachers already talk utter shit about history. Teachers already pass on their slavish devotion to Labour. What Corbyn proposes just makes it official.
But the more I think about it the more I feel that it sums up everything that is wrong with not just Labour but the perverse, hypocritical ideology that the whole of the Woke world subscribes to. So here are a couple of points that spring to mind:
(1) Let's say you spend every year of school telling black kids that white people have always been sh*ts to them, and that British white people are the biggest sh*ts of all. And you pretend that this is still relevant today, still ongoing today, still something that people today are guilty for. What effect does that have on black kids? Does it encourage them to work harder, to study, to integrate, to like their white classmates and white teachers, or to love the country they are living in?
Oh, and the lessons are to include telling black kids that their rich and powerful history was stunted and interrupted by the evil white man.
So what does this actually do? It teaches them only to hate. It teaches them to blame completely innocent people today based on a simplistic and malice driven interpretation of the past. It makes them arrogant, embittered, demanding, resentful. It makes them want revenge. White people are sh*ts, right? It doesn’t matter what I do to them now. Look what they did to my ancestors.
(2) Let's say you spend every day of school telling white kids that they are and always have been the biggest sh*ts on the planet. Tell them that they are racist. Tell them that none of the achievements of their country are achievements. Tell them that they are moral criminals, and that everything they have is stolen. Tell them that they have no heroes to admire, that they were only ever slavers and oppressors, that there is this moral taint in their blood and their skin colour that they can never escape. Tell them that anything they achieve is unfair anyway. Tell them every single day that the black kids are better than them. Inherently, morally better.
So what does this actually do? It teaches them only to hate. It teaches them to blame completely innocent people today based on a simplistic and malice driven interpretation of the past. Because how are they going to feel about those black kids? How are they going to feel anything other than resentment, like a child who knows that his parents only love the other child, the child that is not like them. What are they going to learn, except a deep, bitter, poisoning resentment at their current mistreatment. And if they are evil anyway, if they are guilty....why not do the f**king crime anyway? They’ve already been judged. F**k it. Be a b*st*rd. You told me I was that anyway.
Replace black with any PoC, and it's the same: the perfect recipe for creating more division and more hate. All in the name of progress, all in the name of compassion and inclusion. It includes everyone in the same diet of hate.
That is Labour. That is the Left. That is Wokeness. And that is evil.
