The Precious Reality of Woke Socialism: DIE

"We acknowledge that we are all living off the taken ancestral lands of Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. We acknowledge the extraction of brilliance, energy and life for labor forced upon people of African descent for more than 400 years. We celebrate the resilience and strength that all Indigenous people and descendants of Africa have shown in this country and worldwide."                        "We carry our ancestors in us, and we are continually called to be better as we lead this work…. We envision a nation in which…all physicians are equipped with the consciousness, tools and resources to confront inequities and dismantle white supremacy, racism, and other forms of exclusion…."                                       American Medical Association
"[The AMA’s proposed strategic plan] is rooted not in science and the medical ethics of the Hippocratic Oath but in a host of Marxist ideologies that devalue the lives of our most vulnerable patients and seek to undermine the nuclear family which is the single most critical institution to child well-being."

It's simply yet another manifestation of the mammoth sway in society of its latest zeitgeist, an 'awakening' of conscience so burdened with guilt that the sins of the fathers have been visited upon their sons, their daughters, their grandsons, their granddaughters, their great-grandsons and great-granddaughters burdening all of society with collective guilt and responsibility for what humanity has embarked upon since time immemorial; taking advantage of others to advance one's own well-being.
 
The social-cultural miasma of collective guilt handed down through the generations, finding all those who have moved forward in life at the ostensible and frequently real manipulation and oppression of others who themselves have learned to bask in their victimhood, found guilty as charged. If anyone is an art lover, in Canada the National Art Gallery housing priceless art collections to be admired and enjoyed, now is meant to be viewed through the lens of a JEDI&A lens (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accountability). Do not, under any circumstances, view art henceforth for its own authentic qualities in the search for aesthetic beauty and originality.

According to the American Medical Association, doctors must now inform their patients with a preamble, elocuting in the instance of patients of Native American background, that they were historically "dispossessed by the government of their land and culture". As for people living in straitened economic circumstances presenting with illnesses, they too are to be addressed with the explicating admission that "people underpaid and forced into poverty as a result of banking policies, real estate developers gentrifying neighbourhoods, and corporations weakening the power of labour movements among others, have the highest level of coronary artery disease".
 
In the time-consuming process of earnestly convincing patients that the medical profession is on their side in indignant fury over the rough ride that life has given them thanks to the powerful selfishness of the entitled class and the colour-white tyrants, doctors might very well lose track of their obligation within the medical profession of addressing the patient's symptoms to find a medical diagnosis, in their brain-straining efforts at placing themselves at the service of diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE). In the process helping their patients to do just that.
 
D&I report
University campuses give full throttle to 'woke' culture. Academia has embraced its politics, encouraging students and staff alike to take up the cause of underdogs everywhere, castigate the self-perceived vision of innocence, replacing it with communal guilt and cast those entities named as guilty-as-imagined to be beyond the pale, to be exorcised from polite society. The formidable icons of Western heroism, the principals behind the most meaningful measures of civilization's advance are now to be viewed as reprehensible white saviors who sacrificed the lives and cultures and heritage of indigenous peoples for white gain. 

Their crimes against society may be centuries old, but the current white-privileged are their spawn and as guilty of oppression and discrimination as their forbears, irrespective of their remedial actions and conscientious acts of present-day consciousness. The woke politicization of science, academia and government has soared in an evolutionary cultural volcanic eruption of caustic blame melting the rock-solid core of democratic civilization as we were fond of knowing it. 

In Canada, research scientists working on cutting-edge technological advances will be turned down for government funding research grants should their completed funding applications under assessment reek of insufficient dedication to equity, diversity and inclusion considerations. Consideration of criteria such as qualifications and skills and work ethic and experience are now irrelevant when faced off against minority rights and entitlements to equality treatment in all spheres of influence; qualifications recognized as secondary skills, shields behind which exclusion appallingly skulks.

In Canada recently, a Lakehead University professor was granted $1.2 million for her research studying the efficacy of Indigenous healing in the prevention of cancer. She proposed that the medical, scientific community should focus on matters from a different perspective altogether: "Think of cancer as a symptom of colonialism". Upon which a governing party Member of Parliament -- who before re-assignment to the Indigenous Services ministry was the Minister of Health -- congratulated the Lakehead professor and wrote: "I look forward to hearing and learning from  your work and findings".
