WOKE WEDNESDAYS #26

As nations across Europe commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany this week, the distortion of European history continues.  In recent years popular entertainment has increasingly tried to dramatise historical events with an injection of diversity, in an effort to distort perceptions of history and denigrate the achievements of our ancestors.  This is merely an extension of the Marxist-derived agenda that has slowly been sinking its roots into every institution across the Western world, up to the point in which our daily lives are now effectively dictated by the left, regardless of which party governs.

Much of this infiltration stems from university campuses, from which the next generation of Marxists graduate and rise through the echelons of society, spreading like a cancer.  When Emily Dawes tried to whip up anti-white vandalism in the run-up to remembrance events in 2018, she did so from her university safe space - an environment in which such vile remarks were apparently acceptable.

Unfortunately for Emily, most of us do not go to university and our minds are not tuned to accept woke nonsense.  After she called for a World War I-era mural on Southampton University to be destroyed, the backlash beyond her uni clique was immense and she was suspended as head of the students' union.  A Change.org petition started by a fellow student called for her resignation and quickly gathered more than 20,000 names.  The row reignated after the students' union reinstated her the day after Remembrance Sunday and she later resigned, issuing a 'sincere' apology.  Of course, this apology was a hollow gesture born from a pushback that she neither expected or could possibly contain.

The mural in question was painted in 1916 to commemorate the lives of Southampton students who had perished on the battlefields of Europe and portrays their spirits collecting posthumous degrees.  While there were numerous black soldiers who fought for Britain in Europe, they formed a tiny fraction of the fighting force and it is highly unlikely that any of them attended Southampton University.  Hence, the mural depicts a bunch of historically accurate white men, which clearley triggered poor Emily.

Following graduation, Miss Dawes returned to her native Virginia where she was raised in a six-bed mansion.  This bourgeois leftist hasn't come to much as yet and according to her LinkedIn profile drifts from job to job, although she did briefly gain access to a group of fragile young minds when she worked as a 'teacher' in a nursery.  However, her teaching progress stunted after eight months and she is currently an admin assistant.
