Wokeness at UBC: Bicycles for BIPOCs and a punctuation-free Ph.D. dissertation

April 1, 2025/6 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

University of British Columbia seems to be on the far end of super-woke. I get emails from someone monitoring the situation: ‘

Bikes for BIPOC

This is a bike redistribution program for UBC students who are Black and/or Indigenous and/or People Of Colour to promote access to bikes as a mode of autonomy, safe and reliable transportation, health and joy. The aim of this program is to support BIPOC students and address inequalities of material wealth and access to transportation. We approach bike distribution with a Racial Justice lens and seek to provide accessible transportation to folks who are typically not prioritized in the bike industry.

Why an Architect Wrote a 52,438-Word Dissertation With No Punctuation

An architect pursuing a doctorate at the University of British Columbia wrote his 149-page, 52,438-word dissertation without any periods or commas. Patrick Stewart, 61, who belongs to the Nisga’a, a group of indigenous people in British Columbia, told Canada’s National Post that his dissertation, entitled “Indigenous Architecture through Indigenous Knowledge,” was designed to raise awareness about “the blind acceptance of English language conventions in academia” and to make a statement about “aboriginal culture, colonialism.” And he claimed there is “nothing in the (UBC dissertation) rules about formats or punctuation.” When he defended his punctuation-free dissertation, the examiners accepted it unanimously.

    Punctuation is a function of whiteness – like grammar, math, philosophy, engineering, jurisprudence and musical notation nome sane bruv

    “Bipolar bisexual bipedal free-riders.”
    Main thing, not single-colored white!

    Outside of the Gate

    From the ice they are freed, the stream and brook,
    By the Spring’s enlivening, lovely look;
    The valley’s green with joys of hope;
    The Winter old and weak ascends
    Back to the rugged mountain slope.

    From there, as he flees, he downward sends
    An impotent shower of icy hail
    Streaking over the verdant vale.
    Ah! but the Sun will suffer no white,
    Growth and formation stir everywhere,
    ‘Twould fain with colours make all things bright,
    Though in the landscape are no blossoms fair.

    Instead it takes gay-decked humanity.
    Now turn around and from this height,
    Looking backward, townward see.
    Forth from the cave-like, gloomy gate
    Crowds a motley and swarming array.

    Everyone suns himself gladly today.
    The Risen Lord they celebrate,
    For they themselves have now arisen
    From lowly houses’ mustiness,
    From handicraft’s and factory’s prison,

    From the roof and gables that oppress,
    From the bystreets’ crushing narrowness,
    From the churches’ venerable night,
    They are all brought out into light.

    See, only see, how quickly the masses
    Scatter through gardens and fields remote;
    How down and across the river passes
    So many a merry pleasure-boat.

    And over-laden, almost sinking,
    The last full wherry moves away.
    From yonder hill’s far pathways blinking,
    Flash to us colours of garments gay.

    Hark! Sounds of village joy arise;
    Here is the people’s paradise,
    Contented, great and small shout joyfully:
    “Here I am Man, here dare it to be!”

    (Goethe, Faust)

    Back to originality. Elliðaey, the last refuge of the white world undisturbed by “refugees”? No “metropolitan” Jew will ever stray here either. Here, the simplest things become an experience again. Silence becomes music. Here, old white men can still reflect in peace, without multicultural and feminist intrusions, on what has gone wrong over the last hundred years and come to the only correct conclusion that there is no point in wasting another thought on it. Since not a single tree grows on the isle, not even shrubbery, this must have been a costly purchase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elli%C3%B0aey

    Patrick Stewart should be expelled from that “university”, and his “dissertation” given a failing mark. That’s what a real university would do.

    Social liberalism is one reason that Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election. It was a setback for the “woke” agenda of decadence and mass suicide. Consequently, the Jews and their lackeys have decided on a tactical retreat.

    However, Woke is not dead. It will return, more virulent than ever. It’s just taking a rest before the next wave of assaults against the White race.

    Why stop at omitting punctuation? The Indians aka “Indigenous” never even had written language. Nor did they have universities and dissertations. Patrick really needs to go back to his true pre-contact culture, sitting outdoors around a fire roasting dog on a stick.

    Or is this an April Fool’s Day joke on us.
