The University of Manitoba is decolonizing its art collection, replacing problematic paintings and sculptures with contemporary Indigenous art.
"The university is ultimately a colonial institution that is designed to serve white people ... and that needs to change," said C.W. Brooks-Ip, registrar and preparator of the University of Manitoba Art Collection
One painting removed from the university president's office is a work by Lionel Stephenson, an artist living in Winnipeg between 1885 and 1892.
It's kind of depicting a 'We're over here and they're over there' type situation," Thomas said. "It's not showing community and togetherness.
Another is a sculpture of a buffalo hunt by Thomas Holland, an American artist and polo player. It portrays an Indigenous hunter riding a horse and spearing a buffalo.
While the depiction may be historically accurate, it wasn't created from an Indigenous perspective of cultural understanding,

Because indigenous people are scared little children who need to be protected from scary art.
I don't think i could achieve this level of racism even if i legit hated indigenous people.

Years ago my brother pointed this out to me. Back then it was the militant atheism, but now it's more the woke whitey. These were kids of deeply religious parents. As an act of rebellion, they stopped believing in God, but kept all the behaviors that made them hate religion in the first place. Now they find purpose in a new religion which is basically puritanism with a secular face.

I firmly believe that there's a sort of genetic religiosity that is encoded into human DNA. some people are more naturally religious, some are less, but the gene exists regardless. At least with organized religion, the more religious have a structure and framework, and within the west we have centuries of secular separation in place.
Without religion, you have "atheists" who latch onto social causes with the same fervor of people who burned witches or flagellated themselves to seek penance for the plague, and they will destroy society because there's no boundaries to keep them in check

What were both describing is basically Analytical Psychology. Carl Jung developed the school in the early 20th century. Basically everyone is "religious" in one way or another. Pre-coma/benzos Jordan Memerson was a professor of Jungian psychology.
