If you don't want to read all this blah, blah, blah,...skip to the bottom (NOT SUGGESTED)
The article makes claims such as:
"Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year have often been due to the votes of white men."
"It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years...
"The influence of reckless white males were one of the primary reasons that led to the Great Recession which began in 2008."
"At the same time, a denial of the franchise to white men, could see a redistribution of global assets to their rightful owners. After all, white men have used the imposition of Western legal systems around the world to reinforce modern capitalism."
"The violence of white male wealth and income inequality will be a thing of the past."
"Some may argue that this is unfair. Let's be clear, it may be unfair, but a moratorium on the franchise for white males for a period of between 20 and 30 years is a small price to pay for the pain inflicted by white males on others, particularly those with black, female-identifying bodies."
In addition, as absurd as these claims are. Huffpost initially rejoiced and justified these claims (before they realized it would hurt their reputation).
Verashni Pillay, who works for Huffington Post said,
"Dismantling the patriarchal systems that have brought us to where we are today, a world where power is wielded to dangerous and destructive ends by men, and in particular white men, necessarily means a loss of power to those who hold it. A loss of oppressive power. Those who have held undue power granted to them by patriarchy must lose it for us to be truly equal. This seems blindingly obvious to us."
And the funniest part.... it was all a prank by a South African, with a fake name, Shelley Garland who submitted this story to Huffpost. The editors then approved it and published it.
Q: Why would this article be even published? The idea should have been destroyed immediately !
A: This reminds me of the book, Animal Farm. It was written by George Orwell in an attempt to translate communism into a satirical novel.
The plot of Animal Farm:
The farmer, Mr.Jones treats the barn animals very harshly. An old pig, Old Major (symbolizing Karl Marx) is a wise, good intentioned pig. He realizes this injustice and gives a speech to the other animals because he wants them to revolt against the humans and Mr.Jones It tells a harsh story about the humans who slaughter them etc... and talks about a peaceful world when humans don't exist. (symbolizing the Communist Manifesto)
The animals revolt and defeat Mr.Jones and his other farmers. In order to prevent the animals from becoming humans, initially they wrote a "constitution" with quotes like all animals are created equal and to never kill an animal...They vote and have hearings and at first, everything is peaceful and like a utopia.
However, eventually Napoleon takes command via secretly breeding attack dogs and his cunning rhetoric. He is smarter than all the other animals because he is a pig. (pigs are smarter than rats, ducks, cows, etc... in the story). He creates an elite dictatorship run by pigs by using cunning tactics and persuasion which trick the other animals. Under this dictatorship, the animals have a tough life and are killed for being disobedient or disliked.
Napoleon becomes corrupted because of the excess power that he has. He becomes motivated by greed and power. He sentences many animals to death, changes the constitution too "all animals are created equal but some animals are more equal then others" or from "thall shall not kill" to "thall shall not kill another animal without a good reason". He becomes making trade deals with men. He sells them lumber and the hard labor of other animals in exchange for money. When Boxer (symbolizing the working class people) is injured, he pretends to bring in an veterinarian van but instead brings in a butcher who kills horses for glue and other products. The animals see the lettering on the van and
Squealer (the propaganda artist) persuades them that it was a veterinarian who did not yet replace the lettering on his new van. Squealer also tricks the animals about other things....
Case in Point
Huffington Post is like
squealer. It is trying to win over votes, support,... for the democratic party (Napoleon). It is an ideology indoctrination site. Huffington Post wrote this article to indoctrinate their ideology like religion. They do not like debate, arguments, Wikileaks, truthful stories... that do not support their point of view.
They want to get the support of the minorities in order to get votes. They have already gotten the votes of the mainstream liberals.
Huffingtonpost wrote this article to capture the black, ultra liberal, feminist, extremist... in attempt to get their political support. Huffpost like Donna Brazile of CNN who shared debate questions with Hillary care about
cheap votes and ideology preaching.
Huffingtonpost is on the wrong side. They should express their viewpoints in a fair, unbiased way, rather than gaining support by claiming people who disagree or racist, sexist,... via cheap scare tactics.
Deep Analysis
"Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year have often been due to the votes of white men."
Objective: Get the Minorities, Liberals, Feminists... to get out and vote for the Democratic Party.
"It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years...
Objective: Justification. We are being fair. They caused "500 years of mistreatment" and this is a "small price to pay". We need to correct their minds and turn them into Democratic Voters.
"The influence of reckless white males were one of the primary reasons that led to the Great Recession which began in 2008."
Objective: Justification on how they are reckless.
"At the same time, a denial of the franchise to white men, could see a redistribution of global assets to their rightful owners. After all, white men have used the imposition of Western legal systems around the world to reinforce modern capitalism."
Objective: Support the Communists. Capitalism is bad.
"The violence of white male wealth and income inequality will be a thing of the past."
Objective: Reinforce existing beliefs.
"Some may argue that this is unfair. Let's be clear, it may be unfair, but a moratorium on the franchise for white males for a period of between 20 and 30 years is a small price to pay for the pain inflicted by white males on others, particularly those with black, female-identifying bodies."
Objective: Reinforce the "Equality for all by dragging everyone down to the basement ideology except the elite".
This is the Reason Huffingtonpost published Shelley Garland's prank post. It reinforces all the idea's that they represent and portray. It is part of their ideology/indoctrination stuff.
