Does anyone remember this video from South Africa in 2016? I saw it at the time and I found it ammusing, and a little chilling. Watching it last night I was plenty chilled, but not very amused. The olympic standard irony is still there, after what we’ve seen over the last few weeks it’s just not funny anymore.
It shows a clip from a meeting between the University of Cape Town science dept and a group of “Fallists” (from the Rhodes Must Fall campaign, sound familiar?) about decolonising science.The full video is also available on YouTube.
The group are also described as being from the Shackville TRC, standing for Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Fallists were, indeed are, connected with BLM and both are marxist groups. If the idea of forums where white people can be berated by marxist activitsts about the real and invented crimes of their ancestors have not been suggested (or rather, demanded) in the US yet, don’t be surprised if they are soon…

Unfortunately, I do see it as the shape of things to come.
Unless we <u>fight back</u> against this sort of brain-washing. And brain-washing it is! Nolan is right: Nothing you say can change this mindset, and any argument you offer in opposition will be held up as evidence that they are right and you are corrupted by “Biased western science”.
As if there was such a thing. The fatal flaw in their argument is treating superstition as science. You heard the girl talk about the tribe who believe that they can use black magic to send lightning against their enemies. The total acceptance that magic is just as valid as physics or mathematics, just be cause they say it is so, is at the core of their attitude. “Disagree with us and you are a racist!”
The act of demanding repeatability and consistency are anathema to them. It brings to my mind a quote by President Ronald Reagan:
<i><b>“It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”</b></i>That same attitude is rife in the BLM movement, an the modern socialist movement that is growing in the US today.
<b>”Every argument you offer that contradicts our dogma is proof that You. Must. Be. Destroyed”</b>
That, right there, is why we must fight this.
Stoopid formatting!
I thought this forum accepted HTML. My apologies for messing up the format of the post. :-/
The scariest part of watching this video is realizing that there is nothing you or I could say that would change that girl’s mind. What do we do about people like this?
