When it comes to the satire I write, usually I would write some biting news-story like article to really make it plain just how silly/offensive/ridiculous the views expressed in a given article are. Often these are rife with blatant hypocrisy and replete with prejudice ad ignorance. These satirical efforts are generally well received. This time the original article really struck a nerve with me. I have kept my original satire, which you can read [here]. I find it is good work and a fine story that serves as a good mirror. If you are not willing or do not wish to understand just how vile the original article is in the positions and statements it makes, though subtly so, then please go read that other satirical story and I hope you enjoy it and have a lovely day.

But if you want to see this for what it really is, if you are prepared to experience some rather uncomfortable feelings, then please read on with the knowledge that I do not stand for, nor sponsor, nor condone any of the language or views espoused from our historical past that are exemplified here. This is written from the lens of the era they are intended to be read in, using era appropriate dog-whistles. Yes, it is offensive. Yes it is very wrong. And yes, that is the point. This is so bad, in my opinion, that it doesn’t need satire.

And to be perfectly clear, I shall state this again in no uncertain terms:
Please note that the following historical examples contain offensive language and views that I unequivocally condemn. This language is being used solely to demonstrate the parallels between past and present forms of bigotry, and to expose the harmful rhetoric and strategies employed by those who seek to marginalize and oppress vulnerable communities. As a member of your community, I stand in solidarity with all those targeted by hate and discrimination, and I am committed to using my platform to challenge these views and to fight for a more just and equitable society.

Here you will see the original, unaltered article. With each version I write thereafter, we go a bit further back in time, each one now an original work of satirical fiction. This fiction is based on real history.

It started a long time ago; but look again and be reminded the forms hate and prejudice takes, and be made aware, and warned:

The following is a 1:1 perfect copy of the original article1. All other subsequent versions are satirical takes based on actual, real historical events/headlines

It's everywhere

Aug 21, 2024

We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the woke gender ideology. We see Pride flags on shop windows. We see ads online about supporting trans youth. We hear about it every day from friends, coworkers and family.

As you can see in the photo, clearly stating that it's a family restroom wasn't enough. A transgender symbol had to be added, as if it implies that without that symbol, trans people wouldn't feel comfortable using that washroom.

Trans people demand that every single person know and celebrate their existence. They proudly wave trans flags around with great joy.

I took this photo at an OnRoute, a chain of highway stop plazas with restrooms, fast food restaurants and small shops, located across Ontario highways.

At every single OnRoute stop, every single location, the family restrooms have this symbol. This disturbs me because kids see these symbols, become curious and start asking questions. And they learn about transgenderism earlier than they should.

What also bothers me is that believers in gender ideology shove this down our throats. They have the option to use any bathrooms, yet we still have to see this symbol prominently displayed.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because revolution won't start unless we fight back!!

YOU can help by speaking out! Your voice is powerful, so use it wisely.

To make this clear, this is my original content below, it is a satirical take on the original version above. Please heed my warnings above.

The Gay Takeover Begins!

How Rainbow Flags and Triangle Signs Signals the End of Civilization

Aug 21, 1969 - We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the insidious influence of the radical 'homosexual agenda'. We see perverted men holding hands in public, we see ads catering to young people's 'gay lifestyle.' We hear about it every day from friends, coworkers, and even family members.

As you can see in the photo, it wasn't enough for them to simply open their own bars, shops, and restaurants. A rainbow flag had to be added, as if it implies that without that symbol, without a pink triangle in the window, or other garish symbols, these perverts wouldn’t feel comfortable going inside.

These sexual deviants demand that every single person know and celebrate their existence. They proudly wave rainbow flags around with great joy.

I took this photo at an OnRoute, a chain of highway stop plazas with various fast food restaurants and small shops, located across Ontario highways.

At every single OnRoute stop, every single location, all the shops have this rainbow flag symbol, pink triangle, or fly the flag itself. This disturbs me because kids see these symbols, become curious and start asking questions. And they learn about ‘homosexual lifestyles’ earlier than they should.

What also bothers me is that believers in the ‘gay lifestyle’ shove this down our throats. They have the option to use any shop they like, yet we still have to see this symbol prominently displayed. The have Gay Liberation marches, and riots in the streets, it is an assault on our traditional moral values.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because revolution won't start unless we fight back!!

The Negro Takeover Begins!

How The Removal of 'Whites Only' Signs Signals the End of Civilization

Aug 21, 1954 - We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the insidious influence of race-mixing ‘miscegenation ideology’ propaganda. We see the ‘shaking hands’ signs and flags on shop windows. We see ads catering to young negro customers. We hear about it every day on the radio, and from friends, coworkers, and even family members.

As you can see in the photo, it wasn't enough for them to remove the sign that clearly designated this restroom for whites only. No, they had to go a step further and openly encourage the Colored to use our facilities by removing the “colored only” signs and facilities as well, as if their presence wasn't already an affront to decency.

These outside agitators and their communist sympathizers won't rest until every single white person is forced to acknowledge and celebrate their presence. They march through our streets with their signs and their chants, reveling in their unearned sense of entitlement.

I took this photo at an OnRoute, a chain of highway stop plazas with restrooms, fast food restaurants and small shops, located across Ontario Highways.

At every single OnRoute stop, every single location, the whites-only facilities have their signs removed. This disturbs me because our children see these changes, become curious, and start asking questions. And they learn about the so-called ‘negro rights’ earlier than they should.

What also bothers me is that the believers in the ‘race-mixing’ agenda shove this down our throats. They already had their own bathrooms, yet now we must see them use ours as well, the further degradation of our society, for all to see.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because the revolution won't start unless we fight back!

The Feminist Takeover Begins!

How The Removal of 'Men Only' Signs at Polling Stations Signals the End of Civilization

Aug 21, 1920 - We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the insidious influence of radical suffragette propaganda, and the furtherance of 'the destruction of traditional womanhood'. We see women demanding access to the ballot box, we see ads catering to young women's political aspirations. We hear about it every day from friends, coworkers, and even family members.

As you can see in the photo, it wasn't enough for them to stand together and speak prominently out of turn. No, they had to go a step further and openly wear colorful sashes that encourage women to cast their votes and yellow rose pins, and fly flags of purple, white, and gold (or green, location depending). As if their presence in the political sphere wasn't already an affront to the natural order.

These ‘hysterical spinsters’ won't rest until every single man is forced to acknowledge and celebrate their presence at the polls. They march through our streets with their signs and their chants, waving their flags, and reveling in their their unnatural predilections.

I took this photo at a polling station in Ontario, a once-proud province now teeming with radical suffragettes and ‘unnatural women’.

At every single polling station, in every single district, the sanctity of the male vote is under attack, as is the sacred institution of the family. This disturbs me because our children see these changes, become curious, and start asking questions. And they learn about the so-called 'women's suffrage movement' and so-called 'gender equality' earlier than they should. Little girls learning to see beyond their station, young men feeling belittled and devalued.

What also bothers me is that the believers in the 'gender equality' agenda shove this down our throats. Women already have their own sphere of influence in the home, yet we still have to see them invade our spaces as well, for all to see.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because the revolution won't start unless we fight back!

And here is how formulaic it is, by showing how it is a template of hate, by making it a literal template. As such, this can be used to hate on ANYTHING.

Observe:

It’s Everywhere

[PHOTO OF TOPIC OR TARGET TO RIDICULE ]

We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the <derogatory term for target group> ideology. We see <Target Group> <visible signs> on <locations>. We see ads <location> about supporting <target youth group> youth. We hear about it every day from friends, coworkers and family.

As you can see in the photo, clearly stating that it's a <majority group> <facility> wasn't enough. A <target group> symbol had to be added, as if it implies that without that symbol, <target group> wouldn't feel comfortable using that <facility>.

<Target group> demand that every single person know and celebrate their <existence>. They proudly <verb/activity> <target group> <visible signs> around with great joy.

I took this photo at <location>, a chain of <description of location/facilities>, located across <region>.

At every single <location> <thing>, every single location, the <majority group> <facilities> have this symbol. This disturbs me because kids see these symbols, become curious and start asking questions. And they learn about <derogatory target group term> earlier than they should.

What also bothers me is that believers in <target group term> ideology shove this down our throats. They have the option to <concession>, yet we still have to see this <evidence of change/target group> displayed.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because revolution won't start unless we fight back!!

No really, literally for anything. Here are two examples, both polarizing:

It's Everywhere

We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the Bible-thumping ideology. We see Christian crosses on churches and billboards. We see ads on TV about supporting Christian youth groups. We hear about it every day from friends, coworkers and family.

As you can see in the photo, clearly having a building dedicated to worshipping their god wasn't enough. A giant cross had to be added on top, as if it implies that without that symbol, Christians wouldn't feel comfortable praying there.

Christians demand that every single person know and celebrate their beliefs. They proudly wear their crosses and wave their Bibles around with great joy.

I took this photo at a church, one of countless such buildings located across the United States.

In every single town, every single neighborhood, there are churches with these symbols. This disturbs me because kids see these crosses, become curious and start asking questions. And they learn about Christian mythology earlier than they should.

What also bothers me is that believers in Christian ideology shove this down our throats. They have the option to practice their religion in private, yet we still have to see this evidence of their faith publicly displayed in our communities.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because revolution won't start unless we fight back!!

And now for something entirely different and even more ridiculous, without the emphasis:

It's Everywhere

We all know by now that we can't fully avoid the pineapple pizza ideology. We see pizzas with pineapple toppings in every pizza shop. We see ads on TV about supporting pineapple pizza lovers. We hear about it every day from friends, coworkers and family.

As you can see in the photo, clearly having a pizza as wasn't enough. Pineapple chunks had to be added on top, as if it implies that without that topping in the ad, pineapple pizza lovers wouldn't feel comfortable eating there.

Pineapple pizza lovers demand that every single person know and celebrate their bizarre taste preferences. They proudly display their pineapple-topped abominations on social media with great joy.

I took this photo at a pizza restaurant, one of countless such eateries located across the United States.

In every single town, every single neighborhood, there are pizza places pandering to these pineapple-loving deviants. This disturbs me because kids see these pizzas, become curious and start asking questions. And they learn about the travesty of pineapple pizza earlier than they should.

What also bothers me is that believers in pineapple pizza ideology shove this down our throats. They have the option to enjoy their unholy creations in private, yet we still have to see these pineapple-topped monstrosities prominently displayed on menus and advertisements everywhere.

I hope this ends soon. Pride cometh before the fall. Keep fighting, because revolution won't start unless we fight back!!

So you see, while the specific targets and terminology may differ, the underlying strategies and effects of this rhetoric remain the same across historical contexts.

By painting marginalized groups as a threat to children, to traditional values, and to the very fabric of society, these arguments seek to justify discrimination, oppression, and even violence against those deemed 'other' or 'deviant.' Whether it is the ‘hysterical women’ of the suffragette movement in the 1900’s, the 'negro problem' of the 1950s, the 'gay agenda' of the 1970s, or the 'trans ideology' of today, the goal is always to dehumanize and exclude, to shore up the power and privilege of the dominant group at the expense of the most vulnerable.

By now, it should be clear what kind of rhetoric this is and why it is so dangerous, even when applied to something that seems minor. The original article, despite its source publication’s claim to be merely "informing the public about the devastating impact of gender ideology," 2 is revealed as nothing more than a thinly veiled expression of hate, couched in palatable and seemingly innocuous terms. It should be noted that any dissenting voices on their site is quickly removed.

When we hold this rhetoric up to the mirrors of our past and examine it through the lens of history, its true nature becomes undeniable. The parallels with past forms of discrimination and fearmongering are too striking to ignore, and the ease with which this template can be adapted to target any group, even one as trivial as pineapple pizza lovers, only underscores its fundamental emptiness and malice.

In the face of such rhetoric, satire and deconstruction almost feel unnecessary. The hate and fear at the core of these arguments are laid bare for all to see, and the only appropriate response is unwavering opposition and solidarity.

As Raquel Willis, a Black trans activist and writer, stated:

"The fight for Black trans liberation is the fight for a better world for all of us. Our struggles are interconnected, and we cannot achieve justice for anyone without achieving justice for everyone.”

This is why our voices and our votes matter so much. This is why we must set aside our differences and stand together as one against bigotry and intolerance in all their forms. Wherever we encounter this kind of hateful rhetoric, whether it targets transgender individuals, racial minorities, women, or any other group, we must speak out and act up.

Our collective past has taught us the dangers of remaining silent in the face of prejudice and discrimination. Let us heed those lessons and work together to build a society where all people, regardless of their identities or beliefs, can live with dignity, respect, and acceptance3.
