The campus moonbatocracy in the US has become obsessed with “micro-aggressions.” These are supposed to be seemingly harmless words or forms of behavior that make fashionable minorities feel oppressed. Things like wearing a sombrero on Halloween or telling a black woman that you are proud that she graduated cum laude. I guess a macro-aggression would be to ask her if she’d like some watermelon. You can see a collection of alleged micro-aggressions here.
Well, it occurred to me that the jihad against micro-aggressions (and using the word jihad of course is a macro-aggression against Moslems) just invites us to balance the scales of sanity be defining a new concept.
Comrades, it is time we define micro-treasons and begin to take serious action against them.
Micro-treasons are acts that are far less blatant than macro-treasons. The latter would include joining ISIS or a Marxist group or Students for Justice in Palestine or Peace Now. Micro-treasons are far less obvious. They come in various forms. Here are a few examples:
– Referring to terrorists as “militants” or “activists”
– Referring to Israeli control of the West Bank as ‘occupation’
– Describing capitalism as ‘piggish’ and harmful and anti-humane
– Using the word ‘neoliberalism’
– Using the term ‘Nakba’
– Studying anthropology
– Saying ‘he or she’ every time a third person non-gender pronoun is needed
– Describing the election of Obama as the “triumph of hope”
– Referring to Muslim migrants entering Hungary and Germany as ‘refugees’
– Saying “Black Lives Matter”
– Using the term “White Privilege” in any sentence
– Referring to Israel as ‘Israel-Palestine’
– Using the word ‘apartheid’ to refer to any country other than erstwhile South Africa
– Referring to any Western country as ‘imperialist’
– Using the term “The Other 99%”
– Fighting for the planet
– Misuse of the term ‘exploitation’
– Misuse of the term ‘oppression’
– Demanding ‘safe spaces’
– Almost any use of the word ‘solidarity’
– Almost any use of the word misogynist
– Use of the term resistance, except in physics
– Almost any use of the word’ class’ for anything other than a classroom
– Pretending you think there is such a thing as ‘transgendered’
– Protesting against globalization
– Accusing non-leftists of divisiveness
– Use of the term ‘economic justice
– Use of the term ‘judgmentalism’
– Use of the term ‘sustainable’
