You'd think we are living in Zimbabwe or Somalia, not New Zealand.

Here we go again, the culturally hypnotised right and its bottom-feeding "don't let facts get in the way of a good story" media!

Steven Mark Gaskell writes > Decolonisation: Because Who Needs Democracy When You Can Have Tribal Backtracking?

So, you’ve heard about this new “trendy” political movement decolonisation. Apparently, our forebears messed everything up by, you know, building a modern society based on individual rights, rule of law, and brace yourself equality under the ballot box. Now, instead of simply moving on from history like mature adults, we’re supposed to rewind the clock to some romanticised era where everyone was relegated to their little tribal fiefdoms. Good luck finding a civics textbook in that dystopia.

Brendan O'Neill: Andrea Riseborough and the nonsense of ‘white privilege’

How the new elites use racial grievance to protect their cultural power.

To see how absurd the discussion of ‘white privilege’ has become, look no further than the fuss over British actress Andrea Riseborough. Ms Riseborough has been nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars for her turn in To Leslie, in which she plays a drunk from West Texas who wins the lottery. This is Hollywood racial favouritism, the woke are wailing. To Leslie took a paltry $27,000 at the box office. Hardly anyone’s seen it. Apparently, it is only thanks to the noisy backing of ‘white stars’ – Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett – that ‘white actress’ Riseborough is in the running for this most prestigious of acting gongs. It really does pay to have ‘famous White friends’, says CNN. (Yes, CNN is now so drunk on the PC Kool-Aid that it capitalises races.)

Melanie Phillips: Obama hails anarchy and mob rule as “a great awakening”

Former US president Barack Obama has expressed satisfaction at what he described as “a great awakening going on around the country”.

Let’s see what this “great awakening” has involved.

Black Lives Matter, the group behind it, is a far left, anti-white, anti-capitalist, anti-family revolutionary movement with openly expressed aims of destroying western culture and society.

In the insurrection it has led, statues commemorating great people in American history have been torn down in acts of mass vandalism and criminal damage on the basis that they represent “white colonialism” or “white privilege”.
