So I only just found out about this, several months ago in Lancaster UK a group of students complained about the naming of the University nightclub. It was called "Sugar House", the history of the building does actually show it was indeed a house for sugar..
Their problem with this? It's links to slavery and colonialism. Their solution? Rename it! https://thetab.com/uk/lancaster/2021/03/03/a-sign-of-growth-and-a-show-of-respect-bame-students-on-renaming-the-sugarhouse-25315
Reading down that article you would probably notice a severe lack of people who are against renaming it, big controversy y'know? So, the Students union put it up to petition.
Can anyone guess the outcome? https://thetab.com/uk/lancaster/2021/06/18/students-union-nightclub-will-remain-named-the-sugarhouse-after-winning-preferenda-28696?itm_source=parsely-api
I love to think about all those upset students seething about this decision..
The only reason SJWs have veto-power is because it was given to them by an established system that wanted them to have control.
SJWs typically have nothing.
The most dangerous weapon that SJWs have are hordes of Useful Idiots that don't realize they are being abused by SJWs that hate them.
This is the key to the whole thing. Right leaning groups protest, right letters, call representatives and receive nothing in response (nothing positive, anyway. They might get laughed at, called cringe, or even arrested). Left leaning groups post something on Twitter, it is turned into an article, and people in power fall all over themselves to accommodate.
The secret is not in the organizational ability, the effectiveness of the pleas, or the size of the crowd. The secret is that left leaning groups are advocating for the changes that the Cathedral already wants.
Yes, this is also why open defiance of the Cathedral is imperative for the right. Yes it will be met with violence occasionally, and also the effort may be dropped temporarily due to the defiance. That gives us time to build anti-parallel institutions.
I do think a lot of people are starting to realize that and dig their heels in though, and that is a good thing in the long run.
They screeched about Scott Cawthon and FNAF. And while Scott decided to retire, he still maintains creative control, the IP itself, and royalties, so it wont really change much (maybe?) and the average reaction of the FNAF community can be summarized like this, with an increasing amount growing increasingly agitated over the people who did this.
Hollywood and other Entertainment companies in America, most of which are losing money hand over fist as they embraced ideology over actual products, have started trying to get into Anime and Manga since they are making absolute boatloads of cash, but still trying to use it for their ideology. This has lead to a very unusual pushback where the Japanese are essentially telling these companies "We know you are dying, we will not save you. And if you keep messing with our IP by changing stuff in the name of 'localizaiton', then we will start doing the subtitles and dubbing ourselves." And at least from what I can tell, many of the American companies dont know how to respond to that, because they seem to think that they MUST be diverse or else they are leaving money on the table, even though the Japanese are proving them wrong to their own eyes, and they refuse to believe it.
And we also have the sudden backpedaling on CRT, because it seems like they were blindsided by the sudden push back from parents, especially minority parents who are just upset over "Why are you making making my child feel like they are inferior?!" as white parents are over "Why are you treating my child like a bad person?!"
I know you have talked about it before. But the more time passes and the more pushback we see, the more it seems like the current establishment is on borrowed time and they are doubling and tripling down because its the only thing they CAN do, but it just isnt enough anymore as an increasing amount of people decide to say "We will not comply."
In fairness, while students unions across the UK are a joke, the one in Lancaster stands alone as being ridiculous and widely hated by the student base.
On the national student survey (filled in by students as they leave the university), Lancaster is dragged down about 10% just from the single question about the students union.
Help feed starving children? Nah
Donate time to help some elderly people? Nah
Highlight Lancaster's colonial history and berate students who had nothing to do with it? Hell yeah! I'm sure a good person!
But, as a concession, the security alarm will now be known as the no nigger knocker as all the noise it creates for attention and making the police show up.
