what trudeau doesn't understand, and will probably never understand, because he's actually a brutal racist, is that his longing for a culture and an identity is a consequence of the fact that white people had our culture and identity stolen from us by christianity, in the most brutal process of colonization in the history of the world. white people don't even deny this; we don't even contemplate it. we don't
understand it. when we overthrew chistianity in the 17th and 18th centuries, we did understand it, but we had no latent or background culture to retreat to, and have been left without an identity ever since. some people, like myself, embrace building a new cultural identity on the concepts of reason, which was the framework developed out of the french revolution in response to the realization that the abolition of christianity would create this cultural void. others, like trudeau, lack the historical understanding and frankly the emotional maturity to come to terms with the fact that their identity was stolen from them, and try to fill that void by co-opting the cultural identities of others.
trudeau's framework only makes sense to him because he has no culture because his culture was stolen from him in the process of colonization by christianity.
this framework does not make sense to anybody that actually has a culture, and was not colonized or stripped of their identity and forced to start from scratch when the colonial process terminated, was overthrown and was reversed.
his father was far more intelligent than he was and understood the role of reason in reconstructing white cultural identity, but trudeau will always be beyond reason, and this process is lost on him. he will forever be lost in the purgatory of a colonized person that has had their identity stripped, and will never understand that those not in that condition will consider him a fool for trying to normalize his condition and attempting to apply it to others.
dossanjh was a smart guy. he's right.
