fascism

This is outrageous, liberal cannibalism– a madness where a people turn on each other, creating an environment where everything you do or say can be construed as a crime or an attack. Liberalism is nothing more than fascist madness, and with this election we have a chance to expel it completely.

Following the example set by elite liberal universities, the U.S. State Department has begun cracking down on “microaggressions” in the workplace. According to a newsletter from State Department chief diversity officer John Robinson, employees who commit “microaggressions” may risk violating harassment laws in doing so.

Robinson published the letter in the November edition of State Magazine with the title “The New Face of Exclusion: Microaggressions.” The magazine is meant to “facilitate communication between management and employees” and “acquaint employees with developments that may affect operations or personnel,” according to the State Department website. In the letter, Robinson explained to employees that microaggressions “are much harder to spot than overt discrimination” and “are often brushed off as lack of tact or an act of nonmalicious ignorance.”

“Microaggressions can be detrimental to employee morale and engagement,” Robinson insisted. “Left unaddressed, microaggressions can over time lead to workplace conflict and eventually affect operations.”

“Severe or pervasive microaggressions based on protected Equal Employment Opportunity categories may rise to the level of harassment under certain circumstances,” Robinson warned.

The State Department website also lists “jokes,” “offensive conduct,” “offensive comments,” and “verbal or physical conduct based on an individual’s race/color” as examples of harassment.

In his letter, Robinson borrows Columbia professor Derald Wing Sue’s definition of “microaggressions,” which Sue defines as “everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory or negative messages to target persons.”

    It’s ironic how, for the stated purpose of making people feel secure and comfortable, we cause them to live in a state of constant fear.

  2. Of course Maynard, the answer to that is TOTAL control of the population (which is the intent after all). Full on Communism is the desire of the elite hierarchy, brought about by the delicate flowers among-st us. Too late then, the little daisies will find out what hard macro aggression is.

    Will State Dept. stop using the term, Sherpa, to refer to staff who do the ground work for the high level meetings? I find that a micro aggression. Ironic, State Dept. will have to create safe spaces for staff while destroying safe places around the world. The Fog at Foggy Bottom is beginning to be like the movie.
