  1. Identity politics is a such crab bucket.
    The only trick they have is social condemnation, and they’re going to use that trick at every opportunity, never mind whether it makes sense.

  2. Well the sad fact is that there will be no poster that the crybabies won’t find a problem with. If using a cartoon comparison is appropriation then you might as well pack up and go home. The worst of this mess is that government caved. This has to stop. I see today that the statue of Cornwallis is now gone too.

  3. Is that like an EBT card ? Can natives just order up anything on Amazon with their FREE STUFF Native Express Card?

  4. Unfortunately they’re winning. The poster is gone. Cleveland’s Chief Wahoo will be gone as of 2019 and now ESPN is going after Notre Dame’s fighting Irish leprechaun mascot. To think Jonathan Swift’s satire from nearly 400 years ago predicted this kind of self-righteous pettiness. I’m going to eat my soft boiled egg now…opened from the narrow end of course.

  5. Who ARE these people? I desperately want to smash them in the mouth with a steel pipe.

  6. This is so self-defeating for natives. What would they have said if someone looking like Theresa Spence were used? Maybe they would consider that more realistic. Absolute stupidity.

  7. Reverse psychology may be the solution…..just air ads that the SJWs might otherwise agree with, and because of their compulsion to condemn, they will automatically take the opposite stance.

  8. I’ve read a theory that some, maybe a lot, of what we’re seeing is due to female intrasexual competition. Women who are insecure about their looks want to remove pretty women, thin women, young women with nice figures from the public view.
    In addition to the pretty native woman, in the last couple of days the SJWs have had models removed from quite a few venues – racing, boxing ring. A Waterhouse artwork was removed from a museum because it shows naked young women (progressive prudes?)
    A war on beauty behind the facade of social justice and women’s rights. Might explain why western feminists are so fond of the burqa . I’d bet some feminists would consider making it mandatory attire, but only for attractive women who are beauty privileged. Feminists with brightly colored hair and “differently beautiful” will be encouraged to bare all and be celebrated for their non-traditional beauty. See: Vonnegut – Harrison Bergeron

  9. LC, regarding sjw standards for beauty, an early role for Donna Douglas:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eye_of_the_Beholder
    the strategy is very recognizable with the femileft: ”tis what I/ww/zhwe/zee/wtfeee say ’tis ‘
    and remember folks, back in the really bad old days of the european middle ages, it was very, very dangerous to be either stunningly
    gorgeous (aka ‘bewitching’) or hideous. lOOKs like we’re in for a rerun of THAT episode too.
    ‘sign of the times !!!’

  10. I can recall visiting a Native American museum where there was a special video exhibit about Native American suffering.
    Most of it was typical in-your-face stuff, but my favorite was the young man who did some “performance art” about something he felt strongly about.
    What art form did this fine young man choose?
    Rap music.
    What was his complaint?
    Cultural appropriation of HIS culture.
    You really can’t make this stuff up.

  11. Ah yes, the Twilight Zone. I used to watch the reruns in the late 80s. It was one of the last shows playing before the tv channel would go off for the night.
    If you see progeessives as an authoritarian pseudo-religious cult run by bitter underachievers punishing people they resent then their list of thou shall and thou shall nots makes more sense, in a twisted way. Otherwise, progressives come across as a completely irrational, incoherent mix of contradictions.

  12. On topic, I’m not sure which is worse, reacting to the identity politics nihilists or the government promoting expanded apartheid which is the basis of the advertising.
    Off topic, regarding BC’s thinly veiled blockade of oil sands transport through the province, I would like to see Notley order the halt of all oil going into BC justified by the same trumped up “safety” concerns as the BC Watermelon Alliance. Within a week or two the province would grind to a halt and those two pompous Pricks from Victoria who have seen up to 400,000 barrels a day safely being shipped by tanker through the Strait of Juan de Fuca into Puget Sound from Alaska for the last 40 years while dodging untreated turds from Victoria would be forced to back down and the message to the brain-dead BC electorate would be most enlightening.

  13. How many Indian tribes and languages where there?
    How come there’s only one song?
    HI-ya hiya hiya hiya
    HI-ya hiya hiya hiya
    What’s up with That?
