The Greatest Works of Western Literature Now Flagged as Racist! By Richard Miller (London)
This process of the cancellation of the literature of the Western canon began in the 1990s under the political correctness (pc) regime, but under woke, pc on steroids, things are accelerating. What has passed now is that the great white men like Shakespeare are all racists, because, well, the Left says that they are, and have the power to break people’s wills, as the radical Left have completed the long march through the institutions. Anything that nationalists might appeal to as affirming cultural value must now be regarded as problematic, and subject to banning, or in the case of the James Bond books, modification. The demographic replacement of white people, is matched by the cultural war upon their traditions, to level everything to dust. The dust of the Left.
“Some of Britain’s most popular sitcoms and greatest works of literature were flagged as potential signs of far-Right extremism by a counter-terror programme.
The flagship Prevent scheme, recently the subject of a scathing audit, singled out comedies Yes Minister and The Thick of It, the 1955 epic war film The Dam Busters, and even The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare as possible red flags of extremism.
It said the works of fiction were ‘key texts’ for ‘white nationalists/supremacists’.
A report by Prevent’s Research Information and Communications Unit (RICU) described how far-Right extremists promoted ‘reading lists’ on online bulletin boards. And it reproduced an image being shared on far-Right corners of the internet that listed ‘important texts’, under pictures of Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader, and Oswald Mosley, who led the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s.
The taxpayer-funded document included references to The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, 1984 by George Orwell and the poems of GK Chesterton. It also referenced films including The Bridge on The River Kwai, The Great Escape and Zulu.”
