With the holiday season still three months away, the city council of Perth is gearing up to make this Christmas a more "culturally diverse experience," which is just woke code for watered down, irrelevant and irreligious.
If modern PC culture has taught us anything, it is to be surprised by absolutely nothing. In fact, there appears to be some sort of secret contest going on among social justice warriors to see who can get the most engaged and enraged over the most absurd things. Today, everything and anything is susceptible to the wrath of the 'woke' brigade, whose singular mission, it seems, is to search and destroy all of the old manners, customs and traditions of Western society.
By way of example, try and imagine Christmas without a decorated tree, joyful street carolers, and the sense of magic that pervades the eggnog-fueled atmosphere of the season. It's a bit like trying to imagine the North Pole without snow, or New York City without Central Park. It just doesn't work. Yet the push for that sort of sterile, joyless environment, so as not to offend the sensitivities of the minority, just might be the new Christmas reality for millions.
In the Australian city of Perth, a hotbed of diversity and multiculturalism, city fathers are
preparing to deliver, like black coals in the public stocking, a Christmas experience that is "representative and inclusive of Perth's multicultural community; a more diverse offering that is meaningful for a wide demographic," according to its 'Cultural Development Plan'. Although the authorities do not explain how they will pull off the juggling act, the citizens of Australia's fourth largest city should prepare themselves for a "Christmas experience" that is altogether devoid of a traditional Christmas experience. That much seems obvious from the next line in the glorious 10-year plan.
