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 women 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;
– Using the term white privilege in any sentence;
– Using the word apartheid to refer to any country other than erstwhile South Africa.
– Using the term “The Other 99%;”
– Demanding safe spaces;
– Almost any use of the word solidarity;
– Use of the term resistance, except in physics;
– Almost any use of the word class for anything other than a classroom;
– Protesting against globalization;
– Accusing non-leftists of divisiveness;
– Use of the term ‘economic justice;’
– Use of the term ‘judgmentalism;’
– Use of the term ‘sustainable;’
– Use of the term ‘micro-aggression.’
