The People's Cube - Political Satire

[img]/images/various_uploads/Popeye_Yam_Self_Identification.png[/img]

Brown University to allow students to ‘self-identify' as persons of color

Students may self identify gender, sexual preference, pronouns to be addressed by, and now, finally minority status. While this seems revolutionary, it's been done.

The People's Cube fact generators finders have identified the earliest progressive to self identify, one seafarer known only as Popeye who as early as 1929 identified as a gender neutral asexual starchy tuberous vegetable by stating "I yam what I yam..."

Comrades, next Tuesday. It's almost here.

Ivan - perhaps this is why Sean is so mad?!

(my inner komrade going supra-revolutionary) When - truly, can't wait for it! - will the Dumbest Generation, now clogging alma mater auditoria and posing as academics-to-be, start to (honestly) self-identify as, say, rocket scientists, doctors, engineers, techies (info- and agro-tech included), artificers, builders, or - if you like - mathematicians. Etc...

... and back to reality: Amerikkka's know-nothing crème de la crème - special little snowflakes, in mental blackface, imagined Sioux warbonnet on top, genderwise totally FUBAR, dreaming to soon become Lenin-log-carriers.


P.S. Ah, where is Supreme Komrade Marx and his All-Splainin' Dialectics Apparatus - to kreatively dekonstrukt/rekonstrukt the thunderously guffawing Gordian Knot of Contradictions in Touchy-Feely Acts of Self-Identification versus Glorious Verbots of Cultural Appropriation.

In fact, Popeye has a long record as a gender-bending Social Justice Warrior.

But mistakes have been made, too. A few years ago, dyslexic Muslim protesters mistook him for the Pope they rightfully wanted to slay for implying that Islam may be violent.

CC,
your analysis is undeniable truth. Why am I so certain of your certainty? I watched the Grand Prize winning video. After that, there was no need to watch more. They most certainly deserved the Grand Prize.

It's also really super cool and awesome that Ava and Mia are like going to use some of their $5K Grand Prize money to go backpacking in Europe when they are older. I sure hope they start their European backpacking adventure in Sweden.

... and yet another shard from that Millennial Ship of Fools, freshly landed:
3 minutes of How American Students React to the U.S. Flag Versus the ISIS Flag.
Sure, it's edited (say, hearty reactions skipped, hateful ones highlighted). Yet still.

By Ami (huh, same guy as in Komradette Clara's Mystery No. 1!) Horowitz of PragerU.
And Ami's heritage (indicated even by his name) doesn't do him good, oy doesn't ‒ as one young intellectual-to-be let's him explicitly know...

Our Facebook comrades have made a few good comments:

• But could they decide they're actually attending White University?
  
• I'd like to be blue on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays... and gold on the other days.
  
• Can they self identify as butter cups?
  
• You shall address me as "my Lord and Savior"!
  
• I am Odin
  
• When everyone is gender neutral, and color is self-identified, then we can finally judge everyone on the "content of their character" just like conservatives have been trying to do for decades...
