This so-called children's book created by radical activist/artist Daniela Ortiz perfectly epitomizes why I find the left so utterly reprehensible. Dressed-up as a criticism of the colonialism and kind of kids' books Europeans used to produce, the book is propagandistic to the core. Nevertheless, the philosophy it espouses is essentially a condensed version of the left's philosophical and ideological views concerning Europe and anything European. Attend most humanities courses at any western university and you will essentially encounter what is contained within the pages of this book fortified with lots of words like "centric, critical, spaces, violence, etc."

From what I have encountered thus far, it seems to me that nearly all leftist /post-modernist thought can essentially be boiled down to the following resentful dictum which, oddly enough, is the main point of this little children's book as well:
White males and the civilization they created are sole source of all the evil and oppression in the world.
Which leads to only one palatable conclusion:
If you want to destroy evil and oppression, you must destroy white males and the civilization they built.
The letter Z captures what the final solution is:

According to Ms. Ortiz, Europeans are irredeemable and their perceived sins are unforgivable; hence, the only place for them is a human zoo. What exactly is a human zoo? A jail? Concentration camp springs to mind. Seems like the world would be heaven if only Europe and Europeans gave up all the stuff they stole and simply ceased to exist.
Now all of this would not bother me too much if it were not divisive and saturated in utter resentment. Of course, if we want a glimpse where this kind of thinking often leads, one need only look at at a few examples taken from the pages of history where a similar line of thinking was applied to different groups who were blamed as the root of all the world's ills:

The decent, hard-working German and the cunning, oppressive Jew.
