I Believe the Khmer Rouge Did Similar Things

Indeed:

The Communist Party of Kampuchea takes criticism and self-criticism as daily means to struggle to build up the internal forces of the party. Criticism and self-criticism refers not to cell meetings, but learning how to make livelihood criticism at committee meetings and assessments of advantages and disadvantages is also a form of self-criticism and criticism. In every framework, we seek the advantages and disadvantages and find the correct solutions; this is what we call criticism and self-criticism. If you keep doing internal constructive criticism and self-criticism through the political, consciousness, and organizational standpoints of the party and gather the masses to our side, according to the political consciousness and organizational standpoint of the party, enemies will not be able to undermine us.

Younger children were taught to obey and worship Angkar. Angkar is the parent of children, as well as male and female youths. If parents beat their children, it means they look down on Angkar, so Angkar will have no pity for them.

 
The cadres of the regime convinced the children to report on their parents, to act as spies in the family. If they were told to, they would kill their parents as well. The children are taught to learn and obey all Angkar’s demands, which were actually the demands of the regime in disguise.

 

 We are in Year Zero:

The literature is markedly different than Canada’s official antiracism training of only a few years ago, which stressed tolerance and accommodation for an increasingly multicultural workplace. These new course materials explicitly cite as their inspiration “critical race theory,” a growing movement which posits that Western society is immutably tainted by white supremacy, and must be confronted and managed by conscious “antiracist” thinking and policies.

Unlike the anti-discrimination movements of the past — which sought only equal opportunity untainted by prejudice — critical race theorists hold that government and society is so immutably slanted towards white people that ignoring race is itself an act of white supremacy designed to maintain an inequitable status quo. Or, as a protest sign included in the Global Affairs materials put it, “if you aren’t an antiracist, you are complicit.”

 

This is divisive ideology, riddled with obfuscation and vitriol and meant to keep society in a state of perpetual distrust and fear so that draconian laws can be passed thanks to fragmented and elevated special-interest groups who will be content with their strong arm tactics until such time as they tire of their elites.


Also - you're a money-grubbing douchebag, Lebron:

NBA star LeBron James on Wednesday posted a photograph of the police officer who shot a girl in Ohio this week, telling the officer, “You’re next.”

Columbus police officer Nicholas Reardon shot 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant after she attacked several people with a knife on Tuesday, body camera footage showed.

James later deleted his missive, which some took as a call to target Reardon.

“ANGER does [sic] any of us any good and that includes myself! Gathering all the facts and educating does though! My anger still is here for what happened that lil girl. My sympathy for her family and may justice prevail!” he wrote on Twitter.

“I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police. I took the tweet down because its [sic] being used to create more hate—This isn’t about one officer. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY,” he added.

The National Fraternal Order of Police, which represents more than 356,000 sworn law enforcement members, said that James should have researched the shooting before posting his original tweet.

 

He also should have researched proper grammar, too.
