@TECSHARE this video is going to hurt his re-election campaign hard, but when I read the tweets it says he’s yet winning and people don’t care about his blackface photos and videos can you explain how’s this happening?. When I had first seen those photos I felt it was a political witch-hunt, but when I saw this video I realised that there’s something wrong with Justin’s mindset. Also he’s admitted to not remembering how many times he wore blackface, that means he’s aware that more images and videos will be coming out to derail his re-election campaign.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10027422/justin-trudeau-blackface-video/Frankly I don't think the whole blackface thing is a big deal in and of itself. Originally the stigma came from "minstrel shows", a form of entertainment during the early 19th century in America, and the exaggerated, dismissive, and demeaning stereotypes presented. Over time as politically correct culture has gotten out of control, the simple act of being in blackface itself has attained the original stigma of this historical practice. In my opinion the reprehensible part of this is the part where it is used to purposely demean people based upon their race or skin tone. It also seems to me that most black people really wouldn't care, as long as how I previously I mentioned, it is not accompanied with the demeaning intent. Of course there will always be a minority who are overly sensitive to such things and will overreact no matter how innocent it is, but it seems most people generally don't care as long as it is not actively being used as a tool to degrade people based on their race/skin tone. That said, I personally find this interesting and funny because not only is Canada a nation infested with these overly PC Marxist types, but these kind of things are often even encoded into their legal system in quite asinine ways. Furthermore Trudeau himself is fond of this type of virtue signaling and almost hysterical political correctness. The hypocrisy is the entertaining part here.
Progressives don't really in general have principles, they are usually of the mindset of "the ends justify the means", and as they occupy this Postmodernist mindset where they live within an ideology of the relativist which allows them to justify literally anything in their own minds and among themselves regardless of how hypocritical it is. When things like this happen and this hypocrisy is exposed, it forces these people to be acutely aware of their own double standards, and creates a painful cognitive dissonance within them. This is why you more often than not find the people that are most offended by these types of things are generally middle to upper class white people, because not only is it associated with historical guilt over things like slavery, but exposes their modern type of racism which usually is in the form of bigotry of low expectations. This overreaction is how they deal with their own cognitive dissonance, in effect it is more about absolving themselves of guilt rather than preventing anyone from being discriminated against. It is a very selfish and often extremely racist mindset. This Postmodernist relativist ideology in mind, it becomes more clear how a nation so obsessed with being politically correct can sweep things like this under the rug when it does not serve their own political goals, because ultimately it is about escaping the pain of self awareness and cognitive dissonance over their own self contradicting ideology.
