Tract #03 - Colonization, debt to be honored, let France compensate Brittany!

Colonization, debt to be honored, let France compensate Brittany!
Brittany, victim of French colonization, demands reparations!
Atrocities, suppression of autonomy, repression of language and culture, the scars are deep. France must assume its debt to Brittany and compensate for this dark period of history.
Committing to this approach means FINALLY promoting social justice and the recognition of historical rights that have been scandalously flouted.

Tract #02 – Let’s renovate the nursery school.

Let's renovate the kindergarten
It is clear that a significant portion of the population is unaware of the meaning of the acronym.
LGBTTQQIAAP +

Let's ensure that this acronym constitutes, from kindergarten onwards, the basis for learning truly inclusive writing.

Let's avoid a heteronormative education and make children aware, from a very young age, of the multiple choices of a fluid emotional and sexual life available to them.

Tract #01 – For increased empathy, share your urine every morning.

For increased empathy, share your urine every morning
The Covid pandemic has shown the full value of naturopathy and holistic treatments.
In particular, it has been observed that belief in urine absorption* contributes to the fight against the virus.
More recent evidence indicates that the belief, within a couple or a trouple, in a shared morning ritual of giving each other one's urine* considerably strengthens the empathic connection between partners and promotes a better distribution of the mental load.
Of course, the mainstream media, in the pay of Big Pharma, hides this information from us. Hence the need to actively support our alternative media.

*Always consult your doctor before any new treatment

Review: Susan Neiman, The Left Is Not #Woke

To quote Susan Neiman: "On the other hand, woke thinking that advocates a tribal vision of culture is not far from that of the Nazis who insisted that German music be played exclusively by Aryans, nor from that of Samuel Huntington defending what he called "Western culture" against the threats of destruction coming from other civilizations. To censor cultural appropriation is to sabotage the power of culture."

Reading note: “Do we still want to live together?” by Pierre-Henri Tavoillot

After a damning diagnosis of the intellectual disaster that Wokism represents in the West, Tavoillot devotes his book to avenues of reconstruction. He identifies universal practices that he calls "seven pillars of conviviality": shared meals, couple relationships, intergenerational transmission, religious practices, among others. These pillars, deeply rooted in human experience, are considered as levers to restore an authentic social bond.

Gender? It doesn't exist

In the world before, literature was the way to know the lives of others, to imagine one's own, and to test one's virtues, one's body, one's fantasies, one's hopes and one's ambitions. The teachers of morality and virtue were neither civil servants nor paid activists, but thinkers and artists grappling with the human question. This library is still available. Mr. Minister Delegate, hold on!

Wokeism in the reading of C. Castoriadis

The analyses of what is now commonly called "wokism" could be divided into three groups: those that link it to "French Theory", those that derive it from the history of communism and those that detect a para-religious current in it. Salutary and, ultimately, complementary, these approaches focus solely on the ideological angle, which could lead one to believe that the fight against these invasive movements could be limited to this terrain. This is far from negligible but, in addition to opening the door to a return to the old ideological mummies called "right-wing", it ignores the conditions of the emergence of wokism, that is to say, the in-depth analyses of contemporary Western societies.
Dedicated to the latter, the work of Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997) would perhaps, retrospectively, allow us to shed some light on these contemporary pseudo-subversions, then understood as signs of a "decay of the West" - to use his famous phrase - which is now extremely advanced. It is this that we must confront, otherwise we will wage a battle while ignoring the main lines of force that determine its outcome.

Anti-Wokeism Manifesto

A specter haunts contemporary societies: that of wokism. In universities, administrations, public and professional spaces, an insidious ideology seeks to redefine cultural, social and political norms. It claims to be inclusive, equal and socially just, but in reality is part of a logic of division, censorship and ideological oppression. We, opponents of wokism, rise up to defend universal values, freedom of expression and democratic pluralism against this intellectual and political drift.
