    "Have you no shame?"

    Early Thursday morning Cranbrook RCMP were notified that someone defaced the cities Cenotaph mere hours before the Remembrance Day ceremony was set to take place.

    Spray-painted across the memorial were the words “the real heroes are the vaccinated.”

    alt text

    Police, firefighters, and city workers worked diligently to remove the graffiti, and successfully did so before the ceremony and parade took place at 10:15 a.m.

    “As a community, we are beyond disappointed by the disrespectful actions of those responsible for defacing such an important monument on such an important day for all Canadians,” said the City of Cranbrook in a statement.

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Disgusting as it is, there was also an antivaxx protest that materialized yesterday at a Remembrance Day ceremony in Kelowna, a city not all that far from Cranbrook. The Kelowna antivaxx demonstration was reminiscent of the Westboro Baptist protests at US servicemen’s funerals during the Iraq War.

      Both are disgusting in their very own particularly distasteful way.

        Yes, and "disgusting" is an understatement.

              It could be either vaxxers or anti-vaxxers.

              Or perhaps it’s just people who don’t give a shit about anything and just want to create trouble.

                        The (allegedly) Leninist phrase 'useful idiots' springs to mind.

                          As a society, we have learned to tolerate too much bullshit. Anger serves a useful purpose. Societal shame is even better.

                          People who do something like this need to be dipped in red stamping ink and then turned loose on the streets for people to point at and ridicule.

                              Now, in fairness, CNN didn't post this on Veterans' Day. It's in an op-ed from about 3 years ago.

                              Nevertheless, it speaks to the mentality.

                                I was listening to Andrew Wilkow the other day talk about the sorry state of journalism in America. His point was that you don't have to be very smart to get a journalism degree. He said his degree was in communications and he slept through most of his classes.

                                His point was that he did commentary and labeled it as such. Other people were doing commentary and labeling it as journalism.

                                  It is very easy to overestimate how self-aware your average evolved ape is, about how they deploy their received cultural ideas in their own personal pursuit of status and security. You could program a robot to grow up in white middle class America, go through public schools, get a journalism degree, and regurgitate leftist indoctrination to everybody who will listen, while being patted on the head for being a good little soldier for the righteous cause.

                                    The problem with this is that our culture does have huge amounts of shame built into it - the shame of having an opinion that goes against the race narrative, or other leftist narratives, for instance. The left is fully aware of the power of shame. It's why they want to minimize it for organized shoplifting in San Francisco, while amplifying it for having a Republican-leaning opinion, which marks one as a January 6 sympathizer and probably an anti-vaxxer.
