00:00:00.000 A historic day for Canada. A day that many people did not even think possible. You would talk to scholars and they would say, achieving peak Canada is not possible. Some people thought this day would come that we could see Justin Trudeau in the United Nations, in full blackface, get a gender transition surgery on the heart of the UN floor in order to raise awareness for climate change.
00:00:26.240 That might be possible. Well, we've done it. We have reached, if not peak Canada, the closest thing to peak Canada right now. As breaking news, OISE, like the major education school, teachers college in Canada, is now aiming for our new push.
00:00:45.700 What is Canada going to do for the world? We are going to. Decolonize drag. Yes, that's it. You know drag. The thing where a bunch of men dress up as women and sing the Lady Gaga songs. Yes, that is now colonialism.
00:01:00.940 Because you know what really screwed over the indigenous people of Canada? It was back in the 15th, 16th century when Samuel de Champlain got over from the boat, just came off the boat with all his men, put on a wig and tits, and just started shaking around to, you know, I can't, I don't, can't even name a Lady Gaga song off the top of my head. I thought I would be able to in the moment. I wasn't, but you get the drift. 0.76
00:01:23.180 Okay. So as we know, decolonization, what does that mean? Well, it's a, it's a very progressive, loving program. And what you do is you either support terrorist groups killing Jews, or you burn down a church, right? If you're in Canada, and you want to be a progressive decolonizer, well, you just, you go and you commit a terrorist arson attack against the church. That is what we call decolonization.
00:01:44.820 Now, if you want to just do more like mass decolonization, you're usually calling for a genocide of Jews, and accusing Jews of colonizing, well, ignoring the fact that Arabs have colonized the entire Middle East. Again, Arabs from Arabia, Jews from Judea. But that doesn't really matter to decolonizing people, decolonial theorists, anyway, what we call it. I mean, let's go to this. Okay, this is just beautiful. Okay.
00:02:08.680 Decolonize Drag, a roundtable on queering indigenous and black studies. Join us for an evening of learning at the intersections of drag, gender, sexuality, and the decolonization with author of Decolonizing Drag, Kareem, what's his face?
00:02:24.180 I mean, we laugh, and we should laugh, because this is funny, and this is a good development. But I do think it needs to be stated. It is amazing the speed at which things move, because to decolonize something, to teach the leftist rhetoric, is to take something that is popular, you know, just distort it, claim its entire base is racist, right?
00:02:48.280 And then move in black and indigenous and people of color, and DEI it in order to destroy its institution, or to gain power for the radicals to gain power of it. 0.99
00:02:57.900 It's fascinating that they picked drag, because, you know, drag came around 15 minutes ago. Like, yes, it's been around since you were kids. You always had men, dressing women. Ironically, it's a very white male thing to do. Like, drag was invented by white men. 0.62
00:03:09.780 Cis, cis white men. Heterosexual men? No. Cis, homosexual white men. They, let's be honest, okay? Who does most of the drag gets them? 0.99
00:03:19.480 Was there a black drag queen in 1987 who, you know, was the first one to shake their ass in a semicircle, and then it was caught by a white man? Fine. Like, who cares? 0.99
00:03:29.140 But the more fascinating thing is, it shows that the rapid social acceptance of drag has put it in a position to the radical left, where they feel the need to sort of infiltrate and destroy it already.
00:03:44.920 It's sort of a leftist reflex to, you know, claim any institution that gains any acclaim, sort of any fame or standing, and the need to sort of corrupt it and take it over.
00:03:54.280 It's sort of fascinating that drag is like that, because, I mean, drag has been used for the last, you know, five years as a means of cultural destruction.
00:04:01.400 And, you know, not that, oh, the drag people are trying to bring down America. That's not exactly what I'm saying.
00:04:06.920 I mean, the ones twerking in front of the kids at breakfast. Yeah, but it's more, you've seen trans activists use drag and drag time story hour and drag time this to push the culture. 0.65
00:04:17.120 And that's actually very successful as a means to undermine sort of more liberal Westernism and turn it into more radical progressivism.
00:04:28.320 But now that drag has been so successful, it itself is being targeted by the radical left, which shows that they might be moving too fast for equilibrium, which is a good thing.
00:04:40.600 And listen, if radical intersectional activists who are, you know, prone to burning down things, might as well burn down something they just built up to burn down something else right away.
00:04:53.720 I mean, this is the literal instance where, you know, you're not fighting fire with fire, but your enemies are lighting their own fire with fire on their own fire.
00:05:02.040 But it's a very confusing yet pleasant development.
00:05:06.800 So, OISE, if you want to just shake this way, I know it's nothing.
00:05:10.940 No, this is actually a major institution again.
00:05:13.920 Again, it's the number one teacher's college.
00:05:15.620 It's U of T, which is one of the best schools.
00:05:17.380 It's their teacher's program.
00:05:18.780 And it's also the most radically left-wing teacher's program, probably.
00:05:22.920 Like, in terms of, like, size and power and relevance to radical wokeism,
00:05:28.340 it's probably number one in sort of whatever graph you want to make on, you know, power of wokeness in a teaching position.
00:05:38.420 It would be number one in North America by far.
00:05:40.780 So it is very interesting that we have the radical left feel the need to decolonize drag, 0.84
00:05:48.900 which means to take out all the whiteness and this and that. 0.99
00:05:53.040 And you know what?
00:05:54.840 I'm here for it.
00:05:55.980 Sure.
00:05:56.660 Let's, let's, drag is racist. 0.99
00:05:58.740 You know, the British Empire, let's go with this.
00:06:00.660 The British Empire started drag as a means of systemic racism.
00:06:05.220 So we need to take down Drag Time Story Time because Drag Time Story Time, 1.00
00:06:09.180 let's no longer go with the, oh, it's destroying kids by exposing them to illicit sexual behavior.
00:06:13.500 No, no, no, no.
00:06:14.640 Drag Time Story Hour is now very racist and promoting colonialism.
00:06:20.280 Ooh.
