jesi trčao Wings for Life World Run?

Prije 3 godine jesam. Došao do Turnja, 24 km.

Ovu nedjelju sam isrčao 20 km za sebe.... U 6 ujutro. Dok su oni navlači li patike ja sam već bio gotov.

U vremenu smo nastajanja novog kulta sirom zapada cije su religijske dogme i doktrine  prihvatili mnogi vjerni sljedbenici kako oni na  svjetskom ekonomskom forumu tako i u korporacijama ko sto su blackrock, vanguard, te nevladine organizacije, obrazovne institucije tako i mnoge druge korporacije i institucije. To je kult koji zahtjeva apsolutnu vjernost i ispovjednu cistocu prema toj njihovoj novoj fundamentalistickoj doktrini. Cak i sve velike svjetske religije su spremne da prihvate taj novi woke  kult i njegovu naraciju, od protestantske do roman katolicke, islama, budizma, hinduizma itd. Sve te religije na zapadu su spremne da se poklone i obznane svoju privrzenost tom "novom bogu" stvorenim od ljudi ko sto su Rousseau, Hegel, Gramsci Marcuse, Schwab i da ne nabrajam. Ovaj novi bog za novi svijet ce uvest apsolutnu poslusnost doktrini te nove religije, a biskupi i kardinali koji ce je ucinit obaveznom su svuda okolo nas i nalaze se u svemu (trenutno su vrhunski poglavari u bijeloj kuci). Ako imate nedostatak melanina u vasoj kozi morat cete se  svom svojom dusom i bicem odrec svoje rase i ispovjedit svoje grijehe zbog svog ucesca u svemu sto se tice bijelaca, sto ukljucuje i kapitalizam (jer kapitalizam je stvoren od strane bijelaca).  Za nove svecenike i biskupe socijalne pravde bijela rasa tj. "bjelilo" je politicka kategorija cija je iskljuciva svrha dominacija nad svim ljudma druge rase, a sve je to fino objasnjeno u novom kritickom katekizmu kriticke rasne teorije, studijama bjelila i etnickim studijama. Po ucenju novih svecenika nove woke religije u novom svjetskom poretku rasizmom se smatra ono sto bijelci cine pripadnicima druge rase samim svojim postojanjem, pardon, samim izmisljanjem koncepta rase kao kategorije bas u svrhu toga da mogu bit rasisti i tako dominirat druge na temelju iste, i tako zadrzat svoju poziciju moci i privilegija koje imaju. Formirali su "default rasu" prema kojoj se sve druge rase moraju odredivat, tj. bijela rasa (bjelilo) postoji kao norma cija je svrha odredivanja drugih ljudi kao ne-bijele koji kao takvi nisu vrijedni odredenih drustvenih privilegija i mogucnosti koje imaju bijelci. Radi toga u novoj svjetskoj religiji za bijelce se ocekuje da se pokaju zbog svog "bjelila" i aktivno ucestvuju u antirasizmu, sto naravno da opet naglasim, podrazumjeva borbu protiv kapitalizma koji je potka citavoj toj bjelackoj nepravednoj i zloj konstrukciji. Tu se takode ocekuje i to da u svrhu pokore postanu 'bijeli-saveznici' u borbi protiv bijelog rasizma. Da budu solidarni sa ljudima ne-bijele rase ali da pri tome paze da se ne pozicioniraju u kategoriju "dobri bijelci" jer bjelilo je iskonski grijeh i dobri bijelci ne postoje. Ova ponizna vjecna pokora woke antirasizmu podrazumjeva dozivotnu predanost i svakodnevnu praksu koja ukljucuje ozbiljno preispitivanje vlastitog rasizma, djelovanja u smislu borbe protiv istog, te samokritiku i socijalni aktivizam. Tako sveta majka nove woke crkve robin diangelo veli, "niko nikad nije gotov" (cist od rasizma). Za bijele ljude koji izgledaju kao da nisu rasisti se smatra da nose masku koja prikriva njihov rasizam a za koje kriticki katekizam kriticke rasne teorije i bijelih studija smatra da mora bit prisutan negdje ispod povrsine. Uostalom mnogi svecenici ove nove religije novog svijeta, osim diangelo i ibram kendi-ja, su vec davno objasnili zasto je nemoguce bit ne-rasist ako je neko bijelac. Sveta majka diangelo je npr u svojoj svetoj knjzi "white fragility" rekla da nema mogucnosti konstrukcije pozitivnog bijelog identiteta jer bijelci su jednostavno zauvjek i  totalno izopaceni. Oni jedino mogu vodit cijelozivotnu borbu protiv svog svjesnog i nesvjesnog rasizma koji im je uroden. 
To je u temeljima doktrine ove nove woke crkve. Tako u toj novoj "crkvi od subjektivnosti" su mnogi ljudi bez ikakve vlastite krivnje, samim svojim nepoznavanjem woke katekizma postali default izopcenici ove nove kultisticke religije i morace se bacit u vjecnu vatru niskog ESG bodovanja i kreditne sposobnosti. Oni su vlasnici bijele ignorancije, a bijela ignorancija nije slucajnost nego posljedica bijele privilegije koja im omogucuje da budu rasni ignoranti. To ignorancija jednostavno ide u paketu sa privilegijama koje imaju. Taj paket privilegija je bijelcima toliko vazan i dragocjen da jednostavno ne zele iskreno da se bave pitanjima rase i rasizma, dok su istovremeno aktivni saucesnici u tom rasistickom sistemu samim time sto su bijeli. Citava ta podla zavjera zlih bijelaca se ne odvija putem tajnog savjetovanja jednog bijelca sa drugim nego kroz socijalizaciju u "bjelilo", to jest u bjelacki kapitalisticki sistem. Takode bit bijelac u bijelackom drustvu nuzno znaci naucit ignorirat rasu, rasizam i saucesnistvo u rasizmu. U novom planu nove religije bijela rasa je glavna smetnja na putu vjecnog spasa koji treba da se desi na zemlji, ali natjerat bijelce da se ukljuce u borbu protiv rasizma je tezak i mukotrpan poso jer ih njihova bijela privilegija sprecava u tome da u sebi izazovu osjecaj susramlja, osjecaj vlastite krivnje i samo-mrznje zbog svog urodenog rasizma. Kod bijelaca ta zelja za grijehom (rasizmom) je urodena tako da su i bijele bebe rasisti (ko u ovo ne vjeruje nek progugla). To je takva opsjednuta narav i priroda da jednostavno zudi za grijehom a koji je opet posljedica originalnog grijeha - pripadnost bijeloj rasi. Ova temeljno falicna priroda je cesto smjestena izvan necije svijesti, tj bijelci je uglavnom nisu svjesni. Ali iako nisu svijesni svecenici nove religije znaju da ti privilegirani bijelci zele da normaliziraju, legitimaziraju i u beskonacnost odrzavaju tu svoju urodenu bijelu privilegiju. Za to koriste mnoge mehanizme obrane  da ju zastite. To jest pronalaze mnoge nacine da izbjegnu  woke antirasisticko evandelje zauvjek. Posto su uglavnom nesvjesni tog svog grijeha bijele rase, svecenici nove religije ih moraju o tome informirat da bi ih se spasilo i eventualno prihvatilo u novi idealni svijet 21 stoljeca. Mora se uvest iskustvo evandelja osvete i tuge u njihove zivote. Zato potrebno da produ trening nesvjesne pristrasnosti u nasim novim woke crkvama (skole, korporacije, vojska i sve institucije drustva) da bi tako pomogli vjecno bijelim da  razumiju da je njihov grijeh to sto imaju urodene rasne karakteristike, i to sto su saucesnic u sistemu meritokracije koja vodi svijet u vjecno mucenje i destrukciju, i koja onemogucuje ljudima da budu srecni i zadovoljni. Kipove njihovih heroja i mucenika treba srusit, to nisu heroji i mucenici nego rasisti, prosvjetitelji i kolonizatori. Jedina iznimka mora da bude nasa ljubicica bijela - karl marx, iako i sam rasist i podrzavatelj kolonizacije njegov kip su nedavno nasi kineski apostoli uskrsnuli u njemackoj dok smo mi rusili lazne heroje stare religije sa mislima iz 19-og stoljeca. Kad se nase ruke sloze sve se moze.

Medutim za to nije dovoljna samo jedna doktrina woke religije, za to je potrebna takode i doktrina koja ce stvorit bespolno i vise zenstveno drustvo o kojem je govorio Marcuse u svom djelu o bioloskim uvjetima koji su potrebni za socijalizam. Tako da su woke svecenici dosli do zakljucka da je spolnost nesto sto je priuceno a ne nesto sto ima veze sa bioloskim rodom. Rod se odnosi samo na osobine tijela i njihovu reproduktivnu ulogu a nema veza sa time ko neko zaista jeste. Gender je dio koji se odnosi na to ko kakav dozivljaj o sebi zaista ima. 
Tako je nova uloga woke svecenika postala delegitimizacija koncepta spola (gendera) jer je to socijalni konstrukt stvoren od strane patrijarhata, pardon, bijelog patrijarhata, koji kroz socijalizaciju u takav sistem producira, legitimizira i odrzava dominantnu ideologiju koja im opet sluzi kao temelj zadrzavanja bijele privilegije.

, it is a huge privilege to be here speaking to you as Chairman of the Conservative Party the oldest and most successful political party in the history of the democratic world.
 And the tireless work of institutions such as Heritage in promoting those values is becoming more important, not less. 
 Today, a social media mob can cancel you merely because you have dared to challenge one of the Left’s fashionable nostrums. 
 The enemies of the West are finding fresh confidence in their eternal battle against liberty. 
 So, conservatives themselves must find the confidence to mount a vigorous defence of the values of a free society.
 Margaret Thatcher understood this more than anyone. 
She spoke here as part of a lecture series to mark the 25th anniversary of your founding. 
 As befits the Iron Lady of the Western world ‘courage’ was the theme of her address.
 In a speech that is really remarkable for its foresight years before many had woken up to the fragility of the West’s victory in the Cold War she warned of a tendency of democracies to relax  when the worst appears to be over.
 And today while the US and the UK fulfil their obligations to Nato others fail to do so.
 She warned that new dangers to the West were also being ignored. 
 Now, that is certainly true for China.
The idea that Beijing’s partial embrace of free markets would automatically lead to greater social and personal political freedoms has proved to be breathtakingly naive. 
 Finally, she noted the importance of American leadership of the Western alliance was in danger of being forgotten. 
 So, she was right to warn of the “slackening of resolve” following the Cold War. 
But some nations, thankfully, have managed to avoid it. 
The United Kingdom has made a point of showing its resolve.
 
We have taken a tough stance on China’s assault on democracy in Hong Kong  and its outrageous abuses in Xinjiang province. 
 As Digital Secretary, I banned Huawei from our 5G networks.
 Our Prime Minister recently agreed a landmark deal alongside the United States to supply Australia with nuclear submarines. 
 And while others have wavered we have provided practical support to Ukraine including anti-tank missiles. 
 The world watches the relationship between America and its allies not only must we stand together we must be seen to stand together.
 But there is another dimension to this crisis afflicting the West that she could not have foreseen. 
Rogue states are seeking to challenge the international order.
 And at the precise point when our resolve ought to be strongest a pernicious new ideology is sweeping our societies.
An ideology that if not confronted threatens to rob us of the self-confidence we need to uphold those very values.
 It goes by many names. In Britain, its adherents sometimes describe themselves as "social justice warriors". 
They claim to be “woke”, awakened to the so-called truths of our societies. 

But wherever they are found they pursue a common policy inimicable to freedom.
 In their analysis free speech is not a fundamental right necessary for the discovery of truth.
 To them it is a dangerous weapon that should be curtailed to prevent “harm”. 
“Free speech is hate speech” is one of their more bizarre slogans.


 Each of us is accorded a level of “privilege” that has nothing to do with our own personal struggles but is based on our membership of a particular group. 

 So, by their own shallow logic as a man who went to Cambridge University and who now serves in the British Cabinet I am a pinnacle of so-called “privilege”.

 It is apparently completely irrelevant to them that my parents were a shop worker  and a factory worker who lost his job during a recession. 
 If I am privileged it is because I have a loving family and enjoyed an excellent education at my local state community school.

 But even to question my supposed privilege is deemed to be proof of how privileged I am. 

 Now, you might have noticed that the woke warriors take a particularly interest in history.
 Clearly history is a living subject one that will inevitably be revised.

 But these activists are not interested in real scholarship or nuance or in explaining the context of the bad things that our ancestors did alongside the good. 

 They are engaged in a form of Maoism determined to expunge large parts of our past in its entirety. For them, nothing is sacred. 
Winston Churchill was central to the Allied victory in a fight for survival against Nazi tyranny. Yet some seek to trash his whole reputation and deface monuments to him in wanton acts of iconoclastic fury.
 It is tempting to assume that this onslaught can be passed off as a passing fad.
 That it is so ridiculous so detached from what the majority think - and many have argued this -  that it can simply be ignored.
 Universities  from which so much of this unthinking revisionism has emerged have, of course, for decades been prey to Left-wing excesses.


 There has always been a tendency among cultural and educational elites to serve their own interests rather than serve the public at large.
And of course, we conservatives have frequently confronted it.
 But this ideology is now everywhere.


It's in our universities but also, in our schools.
In government bodies but also in corporations.
In social science faculties but also, in the hard sciences. 

 But I tell you, it is a dangerous form of decadence. Just when our attention should be focused on external foes we seem to have entered this period of extreme introspection and self-criticism and it really does threaten to sap our societies of their own self-confidence. 

 Just when we should be showcasing the vitality of our values and the strength of democratic societies we seem to be willing to abandon those values for the sake of appeasing this new groupthink.


 There are several interlinked dangers to all of this. 
 To begin with, perhaps an obvious one.
Those of us who grew up under Thatcher and Reagan or indeed, under Roosevelt and Churchill were inspired by those leaders. 
 But we also had an instinctive pride in our national story.
A pride that joined even political opponents in a common sense of endeavour. 
 But if they cease to be sources of pride that unite diverse populations in a common understanding of who we are and what we stand for then we lose that essential unity of purpose.
 And it is particularly striking that the two countries  the United Kingdom and the United States  where the woke agenda is pursued the most aggressively.  Those very same countries are also the countries where patriotism is most open and welcoming.
 Why on earth else would we be such magnets for migrants seeking to build a better life on our shores? 
 In Britain first, second and third generation migrants are among the most fervent champions  of the countries they have chosen to call their own home. 
 Yet increasingly they are told  that the pride they feel is somehow misplaced. 
Or even worse than that. 

And even more offensively that their patriotism is some kind of “false consciousness”. 
 Moreover this woke ideology encourages a bizarre form of moral relativism, a view that western nations are so compromised that they have no right to denounce the rogue states of today. 

 For all their fury at historical “imperialism” these activists have absolutely nothing to say about Vladimir Putin’s modern-day empire-building. 

 Indeed, one of the perversities of this worldview is that the “imperialist” West is always at fault  even if that is in standing up for a nation that has experienced the horrors of life under an actual evil empire, in our own living memory.

 And yet day by day that worldview gains traction in elite circles.


 We risk a collapse in resolve if all we hear is that our societies are monstrous, unjust, oppressive why on earth would anyone fight to sustain them?


 It’s a narrative that almost guarantees demoralisation and despair.
And of course there is an opportunity cost of our irrational introspection.


 A West confident in its values would not be obsessing over pronouns or indeed, seeking to decolonise mathematics.


 Now you might say that’s rather difficult when the numerals we use are actually Arabic but I’ll leave that to others to explain. 
 It would be pointing out to would-be aggressors  the strength of the values of a free society even in the most desperate of circumstances. 

 To the Hong Kongers fighting for their rights in the face of extra ordinary odds.
 To the people of Ukraine determined that their nation should have the right to determine its future.
 To the women of Afghanistan prepared to defy Taliban rule even at the risk of their own lives.
 Yet we allow ourselves to be obsessed by what divides us rather than what unites us.


 And, it shouldn’t just be conservatives  who stand up for what made the West great. 
There was, of course, a time not very long ago when the mainstream Left was just as committed to free speech as the Right.


 Or when so-called “liberals” actually had something in common with those great champions of freedom the likes of Gladstone and John Stuart Mill both of whom, incidentally are currently at risk of cancelled. 
 The UK joined Nato under a Labour prime minister.
And, when Left-wing parties were dominated by working people rather than professional activists they were just as patriotic as their conservative opponents. 
 Sadly, the Left has abandoned the field. 
Its leaders are either too weak to stand up for our own common values or worse than that, they’ve embraced the doctrine of woke themselves. 
 It seems that we conservatives must find the strength to defend the principles of free society  on our own.
 So, our Conservative government in the United Kingdom is legislating to protect free speech on campus we will stop the sinister phenomenon of academics or students who offend left wing orthodoxies being censored or harassed. 

 As Culture Secretary I challenged those cultural institutions. Those institutions funded by ordinary taxpayers but which promoted politicised agendas.

 We have made it clear to schools that it is illegal to teach the concept of “white privilege” as though it were undisputed fact.


 And we must also not be frightened to expose the behaviour of some corporate giants. And you know, all know, the sort of corporations that I'm talking about.




Ones that denounced perfectly legitimate efforts to reform electoral laws in democracies, whilst at the very same time, keeping a profitable silence whilst flogging their goods to authoritarian regimes.


 We Conservatives, instead, are on the side of people who believe that we are a force for good in the world.
 The US and the UK may certainly be different societies but we are joined by the same fundamental values. 
 Neither of us can afford the luxury of indulging in this painful woke psychodrama. 
 It will take courage to resist it. 


Too many people have already fallen for the dismal argument that standing up for freedom is reactionary or that somehow it is kind or virtuous to submit to these self-righteous dogmas.


 Well, it plainly is not.
 Instead as Margaret Thatcher said to you almost 25 years ago the task of conservatives is to remake the case for the West to proclaim our beliefs in the wonderful creativity of the human spirit in the rights of property and the rule of law and in the extraordinary fruitfulness of enterprise and trade.
 She refused to see the decline of the West as our inevitable destiny. 
And neither should we.

 It is apparently completely irrelevant to them that my parents were a shop worker  and a factory worker who lost his job during a recession. 
 If I am privileged it is because I have a loving family and enjoyed an excellent education at my local state community school.

 But even to question my supposed privilege is deemed to be proof of how privileged I am. 

 Now, you might have noticed that the woke warriors take a particularly interest in history.
 Clearly history is a living subject one that will inevitably be revised.

 But these activists are not interested in real scholarship or nuance or in explaining the context of the bad things that our ancestors did alongside the good. 

 They are engaged in a form of Maoism determined to expunge large parts of our past in its entirety. For them, nothing is sacred. 
Winston Churchill was central to the Allied victory in a fight for survival against Nazi tyranny. Yet some seek to trash his whole reputation and deface monuments to him in wanton acts of iconoclastic fury.
 It is tempting to assume that this onslaught can be passed off as a passing fad.
 That it is so ridiculous so detached from what the majority think - and many have argued this -  that it can simply be ignored.
 Universities  from which so much of this unthinking revisionism has emerged have, of course, for decades been prey to Left-wing excesses.


 There has always been a tendency among cultural and educational elites to serve their own interests rather than serve the public at large.
And of course, we conservatives have frequently confronted it.
 But this ideology is now everywhere.


It's in our universities but also, in our schools.
In government bodies but also in corporations.
In social science faculties but also, in the hard sciences. 

 But I tell you, it is a dangerous form of decadence. Just when our attention should be focused on external foes we seem to have entered this period of extreme introspection and self-criticism and it really does threaten to sap our societies of their own self-confidence. 

 Just when we should be showcasing the vitality of our values and the strength of democratic societies we seem to be willing to abandon those values for the sake of appeasing this new groupthink.


 There are several interlinked dangers to all of this. 
 To begin with, perhaps an obvious one.
Those of us who grew up under Thatcher and Reagan or indeed, under Roosevelt and Churchill were inspired by those leaders. 
 But we also had an instinctive pride in our national story.
A pride that joined even political opponents in a common sense of endeavour. 
 But if they cease to be sources of pride that unite diverse populations in a common understanding of who we are and what we stand for then we lose that essential unity of purpose.
 And it is particularly striking that the two countries  the United Kingdom and the United States  where the woke agenda is pursued the most aggressively.  Those very same countries are also the countries where patriotism is most open and welcoming.
 Why on earth else would we be such magnets for migrants seeking to build a better life on our shores? 
 In Britain first, second and third generation migrants are among the most fervent champions  of the countries they have chosen to call their own home. 
 Yet increasingly they are told  that the pride they feel is somehow misplaced. 
Or even worse than that. 

And even more offensively that their patriotism is some kind of “false consciousness”. 
 Moreover this woke ideology encourages a bizarre form of moral relativism, a view that western nations are so compromised that they have no right to denounce the rogue states of today. 

 For all their fury at historical “imperialism” these activists have absolutely nothing to say about Vladimir Putin’s modern-day empire-building. 

 Indeed, one of the perversities of this worldview is that the “imperialist” West is always at fault  even if that is in standing up for a nation that has experienced the horrors of life under an actual evil empire, in our own living memory.

 And yet day by day that worldview gains traction in elite circles.


 We risk a collapse in resolve if all we hear is that our societies are monstrous, unjust, oppressive why on earth would anyone fight to sustain them?


 It’s a narrative that almost guarantees demoralisation and despair.
And of course there is an opportunity cost of our irrational introspection.


 A West confident in its values would not be obsessing over pronouns or indeed, seeking to decolonise mathematics.


 Now you might say that’s rather difficult when the numerals we use are actually Arabic but I’ll leave that to others to explain. 
 It would be pointing out to would-be aggressors  the strength of the values of a free society even in the most desperate of circumstances. 

 To the Hong Kongers fighting for their rights in the face of extra ordinary odds.
 To the people of Ukraine determined that their nation should have the right to determine its future.
 To the women of Afghanistan prepared to defy Taliban rule even at the risk of their own lives.
 Yet we allow ourselves to be obsessed by what divides us rather than what unites us.


 And, it shouldn’t just be conservatives  who stand up for what made the West great. 
There was, of course, a time not very long ago when the mainstream Left was just as committed to free speech as the Right.


 Or when so-called “liberals” actually had something in common with those great champions of freedom the likes of Gladstone and John Stuart Mill both of whom, incidentally are currently at risk of cancelled. 
 The UK joined Nato under a Labour prime minister.
And, when Left-wing parties were dominated by working people rather than professional activists they were just as patriotic as their conservative opponents. 
 Sadly, the Left has abandoned the field. 
Its leaders are either too weak to stand up for our own common values or worse than that, they’ve embraced the doctrine of woke themselves. 
 It seems that we conservatives must find the strength to defend the principles of free society  on our own.
 So, our Conservative government in the United Kingdom is legislating to protect free speech on campus we will stop the sinister phenomenon of academics or students who offend left wing orthodoxies being censored or harassed. 

 As Culture Secretary I challenged those cultural institutions. Those institutions funded by ordinary taxpayers but which promoted politicised agendas.

 We have made it clear to schools that it is illegal to teach the concept of “white privilege” as though it were undisputed fact.


 And we must also not be frightened to expose the behaviour of some corporate giants. And you know, all know, the sort of corporations that I'm talking about.




Ones that denounced perfectly legitimate efforts to reform electoral laws in democracies, whilst at the very same time, keeping a profitable silence whilst flogging their goods to authoritarian regimes.


 We Conservatives, instead, are on the side of people who believe that we are a force for good in the world.
 The US and the UK may certainly be different societies but we are joined by the same fundamental values. 
 Neither of us can afford the luxury of indulging in this painful woke psychodrama. 
 It will take courage to resist it. 


Too many people have already fallen for the dismal argument that standing up for freedom is reactionary or that somehow it is kind or virtuous to submit to these self-righteous dogmas.


 Well, it plainly is not.
 Instead as Margaret Thatcher said to you almost 25 years ago the task of conservatives is to remake the case for the West to proclaim our beliefs in the wonderful creativity of the human spirit in the rights of property and the rule of law and in the extraordinary fruitfulness of enterprise and trade.
 She refused to see the decline of the West as our inevitable destiny. 
And neither should we.
