Disunited States: Challenging The Cult Of Diversity

"Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party!"  Robin Williams 

It’s been a big month or so for the Diversity Cult®. First, Bad Bunny made his pitch for Puerto Rican statehood with a Spanish-only halftime show at Super Bowl LX. Because it was in Spanish most viewers had no idea what he was saying about WAP and why couples were twerking in a pickup truck. It was a celebration of PR culture, goddammit, and anyone seeing anything remotely political is a Nazi.

Then came that celebration of frozen white culture known as the Winter Olympics. The unrelenting Viking paleness of most competitors was a challenge to the Diversity Cult®. How to reconcile patriotism in Canada and the U.S. with the lack of brown and black faces being demanded by DEI?

Simple, get the corporate world to bathe the commercial breaks in mixed-race couples, the Nurse family, tributes to the integrated Mounties, white men being scolded by women for their stupidity and a small army of TV hosts of colour. The same way Bad Bunny was a warning shot to traditional America, the Olympics coverage is  a heads-up that DEI culture is still in control of the conventional means of communication. 

The fashionable rejection of traditional culture may not be your life experience. But if Mark Carney has anything to say about iit soon will be in Elbows Up Land after a tsunami of immigration the past decade. Christopher R. Rufo explains the manufactured culture shift. “Our Anglo-American tradition is visible in numerous ways: our common language, our system of rights and liberties, the Protestant-capitalist economic system. Those things didn’t come from Somalia, Japan, or Brazil; they mostly came from the culture of England. But now, if you acknowledge these plain realities, you are treated as a de facto racialist and purveyor of hatred.”

Northrup Fry’s coined the phrase “garrison mentality” to describe the Canadian instinct to withdraw when the world feels threatening. Or as economist Niall Ferguson sadly observes , “Canada often opts for envy and self-pity instead of taking action to assert its global presence.” Carney understands the fear. It’s the reason the Laurentian Elite freaked out when CPC MP Jalil Jivani said after meetings with VP J.D. Vance: “We are shooting ourselves in the foot if we continue this anti-America hissy fit, and this is the reason I’m trying to talk into our government.”

Fat chance. Comedian Daniel Tosh sums up Canada’s good-neighbour delusion in the Diversity Cult®. “It’s really easy to be the cool, open-minded liberal hippie nation when there’s a Kevlar Snuggie of America wrapped around your fat frozen asses daring the world to talk shit. ‘We don’t use our military’. Yeah, we know, we’ve got you taken care of. Go back to sleep, we’ll wake you up when the NHL playoffs begin. You’re welcome, Canada. We take the hits so you don’t have to.”

At the moment Carney is flitting about with his globalist friends, posing for photo ops while avoiding Parliament and Trump. His fans love it. Lacking any movement on a new CUSMA trade deal with Trump he’s attempting to form new acronym-laden cooperative body of unicorns to keep his globalist/ climate/ DEI agenda going.

@TerryGlavin demurs. “On the ‘world stage’ Mark Carney leads a huge new anti-Trump trade bloc. In the real world, he isn't, and his "fast growing" alliance doesn't exist.” No matter. The Canadians of Tosh’s joke think Carney playing for time is a swell strategy for dealing with the world’s largest economy.

Those delusions of a “diverse” Canada leading the world may have run into a brick wall in Munich this past weekend. At the International Trade Meetings there U.S. secretary of state Marco Rubio put Canada and the rest of the West on notice. Despite the embracxe of hopelessness and complacency seen everywhere else Trump’s America is going ahead with saving traditional Western culture

“We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline. We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history… What we want is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has ailed our societies is not just a set of bad policies but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency. An alliance -- the alliance that we want— is one that is not paralyzed into inaction by fear -- fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology. Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future.”

In short, you can get on board or be left behind. Using those parameters the white guilt and self loathing infecting Canada have no tickets on the Trump train. In spite of Rubio’s warning, several of Trump’s biggest American critics tried to spin. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, hoping to raise her profile as a presidential candidate, blundered through a series of policy gaffes on Taiwan, alternating painful pauses with placing Venezuela south of the equator on a map.

“Whoever convinced AOC that she had successfully completed her tutoring and was now ready to give book reports about foreign policy in public really should look for another line of work. Unless the goal was to sabotage her. In which case: kudos for a job well done,” Glenn Greenwald wrote on X. In another embarrassment for the #TDS opposition, former Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer, another presidential hopeful, dried when asked about Ukraine foreign policy, deferring to Trump’s EU Ambassador Matt Whittaker who was also on the panel. 

In short, if Canada is looking for kindred American spirits in Carney’s quest for the Diversity Cult® they might best be advised not to count on the Brat Pack of AOC . Judging by polls gullible Elbows Up fans will move ahead with Carney’s own new-fangled world order of building jets and encouraging trans dysphoria. It’s the perfect blend of Canadian self delusion mixed with victim mentality. 

Which means it’s got a good chance of succeeding in Diversity Cult®. “The federal government supports Sudbury Queers United Around Diversity to advance equality”.
