    Do you the PC schools and universities in Canada and the UK teach that the ‘indigenous peoples’ were really responsible for building the British Empire? It wouldn’t surprise me if they did.

    I saw a US History course syllabus from the University of Washington recently. It described American history in the following stages:

    1. A rebellion against England and subsequent slaughter of the Native Americans;

    2. The struggle for blacks to gain freedom against their white oppressors;

    3. The struggle of organized labor against the white exploitative ruling class;

    4. The emancipation of women and their struggle against the patriarchal white ruling class;

    5. The current struggle of sexual minorities to gain over the straight white male ruling class.

    Do you ever get the feeling that straight white guys who work for a living aren’t really wanted in America anymore? LOL

    Well, instead, I think they teach that the British Empire was built on the backs of the indigenous peoples, and they claim that we tried to wipe out the Indians by knowingly giving them blankets infected with smallpox. That’s an urban legend, and it’s as much bullshit as the Nazis making lampshades from dead Jews’ skins, but like that legend, it lives on…

    I think you’re wrong about straight white guys who work for a living not being wanted in America any more – they’re still wanted, but ONLY to work, and give their money over, to the welfare state, to their ex-wives, to everyone else, and to shut the fuck up and take whatever abuse is inflicted upon them…

    Yes, especially the STFU part: breaking news down here, another official forced to resign for a remark he was overheard making:

    Do you remember those old films about Hitler Germany where the German people were always whispering for fear they’d be overheard and denounced to the Gestapo? The Anglosphere’s looking very similar these days…
