How’ll they explain away ‘Othello’?
Cultural Marxism: The soft-headed belief that all past and current cultures are at least equal in both enriching and strengthening all present and future cultures.
Just me, but my Bavarian, Irish and Spanish ancestors were building massive cathedrals and castles 1,000 years ago. But during course of my lifetime, I’ve seen more than a few of my Chamorro (Guam) relatives living in shacks thrown together with surplus 2x4s and corrugated tin leftover from WW II.
But back to the topic at hand. My favorite Scottish comedian and GB News host, Leo Kearse, notes that the ever so woke folks at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust over at Stratford-upon-Avon will be “de-colonializing” The Bard from all of his alleged racism, sexism and homophobia.
Never mind that the only people to ever colonize the greater Stratford-Upon-Avon metropolitan area were some rather rude Romans; followed by a bunch of unruly Germans from Saxony and Angeln; lastly, a curious mixture of Viking and Frenchmen who called themselves after the fat guy in Cheers.
Unlike present-day Britain, all the aforementioned “colonizers” were fellow Europeans.
Ironic, ain’t it?
