MICRO TREASONS

FORGET MICRO-AGGRESSIONS!  GET SERIOUS ABOUT MICRO-TREASONS!!

 

By Steven Plaut

 

 

The campus moonbatocracy in the US has become obsessed with "micro-aggressions."   These are supposed to be seemingly harmless words or forms of behavior that make fashionable minorities feel oppressed.   Things like wearing a sombrero on Halloween or telling a black women that you are proud that she graduated cum laude.  I guess a macro-aggression would be to ask her if she'd like some watermelon.  You can see a collection of alleged micro-aggressions here:  http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/seminars/Tool_Recognizing_Microaggressions.pdf .

 

Well, it occurred to me that the jihad against micro-aggressions (and using the word jihad of course is a macro-aggression against Moslems) just invites us to balance the scales of sanity be defining a new concept.

 

Comrades, it is time we define micro-treasons and begin to take serious action against them.

 

Micro-treasons are acts that are far less blatant than macro-treasons.  The latter would include joining ISIS or a Marxist group or Students for Justice in Palestine or Peace Now.  Micro-treasons are far less obvious.  They come in various forms.  Here are a few examples:

 

-  Referring to terrorists as militants or activists;

 

-  Referring to Israeli control of the West Bank as occupation;

 

-  Describing capitalism as piggish and harmful and anti-humane;

 

-  Using the word 'neoliberalism;'

 

-  Using the term 'Nakba;'

 

-  Studying anthropology;

 

-  Saying 'he or she' every time a third person non-gender pronoun is needed;

 

-  Describing the election of Obama as the triumph of hope;

 

-  Referring to Muslim migrants entering Hungary and Germany as refugees;

 

-  Saying black lives matter;

 

-  Using the term white privilege in any sentence;

 

-  Referring to Israel as Israel-Palestine;

 

-  Using the word apartheid to refer to any country other than erstwhile South Africa.

 

-  Referring to any Western country as imperialist;

 

-  Using the term "The Other 99%;"

 

-  Fighting for the planet;

 

-  Misuse of the term 'exploitation;'

 

-  Misuse of the term 'oppression;'

 

-  Demanding safe spaces;

 

-  Almost any use of the word solidarity;

 

-  Almost any use of the word misogynist;

 

-  Use of the term resistance, except in physics;

 

-  Almost any use of the word class for anything other than a classroom;

 

-  Pretending you think there is such a thing as transgendered;

 

-  Protesting against globalization;

 

-  Accusing non-leftists of divisiveness;

 

-  Use of the term 'economic justice;'

 

-  Use of the term 'judgmentalism;'

 

-  Use of the term 'sustainable;'

 

-  Using the term 'micro-aggression.'
