Michael Higgins: Leftist media says moon mission is a colonial attack on Indigenous beliefs

Before beginning this article, let us all acknowledge that NASA’s Artemis II space mission is going to be travelling around unceded territory that may well be the traditional home of microbial lifeforms who have lived there peacefully for generations and have no wish to be disturbed, plundered or colonized by aggressive, invasive Western culture.

Such is the state of the “colonial outrage industry” these days that it can be tough when reading some articles — especially on April 1 — to decide whether or not they are a joke.

The madness is everywhere …

The employee taking her order refused, saying she would receive a formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it.

Black businessman bullied into dumping plans for new nightclub after white, liberal women told him the name was RACIST

Outraged White Liberal Women

A black Kansas City businessman has been forced to scrap his plans to open a new nightclub after a local football fan club comprised mainly of liberal white women complained that the name was ‘racist.’

Casio McCombs said this week he was ‘deeply disappointed’ that his plans to open a club named Sundown HiFi were halted due to outcry from KC Blue Crew, a supporters club for women’s soccer team KC Current.

The ‘sundown’ name was deemed by the group to be a reference to a ‘sundown town’, a 19th Century term for all-white communities that would practice racial segregation and terrorize any black people unfortunate enough to find themselves on its streets after dark.
