Ghosts and ghouls arise and prowl through the chill, smoke infused autumn mists, descending on the doors of their victims (nee, neighbors) to extort tricks or treats. Yet, unbeknownst to these unwary waifs, their nocturnal predations are about to turn them into the prey of\u2026 The Inclusive Candyperson!<\/p>\n<p>Ick.<\/p>\n<p>When does a movement devolve into farce? Is it when it becomes so subsumed in its ideology\u2019s insularity that it cannot realize it has become, in fact, the inane, injurious laughing stock its opponents have long averred? Does it happen when, say, the movement\u2019s cultists spend vast resources \u2013 and precious seconds of their finite time on earth \u2013 assessing the ideological implications of candy?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m guessing\u2026 Yes. Aligning your ideological tenets to a piece of candy is \u201cdaft as a badger.\u201d [Hat tip to the late George MacDonald Fraser.]\n<p>While this may sound farfetched, the case of the curse of the Inclusive Candyperson is more evidence the Progressivism is less a movement than a dysfunctional death cult rife with self-satire. Make no mistake, these cultists remain bent upon radically transforming America into a totalitarian hellscape of socialist scarcity and repression. But one must ever remember the regressive Progressives, though earnest narcissists, are deeply unserious people.<\/p>\n<p>To wit: the Inclusive Candyperson.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/09\/30\/mms-goes-woke-with-purple-spokescandy-pushing-acceptance-and-inclusivity\/\"><i>Breitbart<\/i><\/a>\u2019s Simon Kent:<br \/>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<div><em>\u201c\u2018Mars is thrilled to debut the newest member of the M&#038;M\u2019s cast of characters to the world,\u2019 Jane Hwang, global VP at Mars Wrigley\u2026 \u2018There is so much about our new spokescandy that people can relate to and appreciate, including her willingness to embrace her true self \u2013 our new character reminds us to celebrate what makes us unique.\u2019\u201d<\/em><br \/>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>What is unique about me is my mind, though I highly doubt VP Hwang wants me to celebrate what I believe. Take, for instance, my disdain for those who filter a piece of candy through one\u2019s ideologic prism. But I digress\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Evidently, purple M&#038;M\u2019s were part of the original candy\u2019s ensemble offering, but were later scrapped for tan ones. But the demands of equity could not be refused, and tan M&#038;M\u2019s were denounced for their presumed privilege and replaced by blue ones. With the intersectionality sweepstakes in full swing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E_B4Oz4CPu0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ultimately purple M&#038;M\u2019s were restored to their rightful place within our still unjust world<\/a> \u2013 and right in time to melt during the climate apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p>Am I doing this right? I hope so, because it\u2019s better to be a cog in their virtue signaling machine than a fly in the fascist ointment \u2013 or something like that. After all, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/01\/20\/mms-characters-to-be-more-inclusive\/\"><i>Breitbart<\/i><\/a> reported back in January, the return of the purple M&#038;M is part of the corporation\u2019s attempt to meet its<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018[G]lobal commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong, and society is inclusive\u2019 with the changes to its advertising characters for a \u2018more dynamic, progressive world.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018M&#038;M\u2019S branding will also reflect an updated tone of voice that is more inclusive, welcoming, and unifying, while remaining rooted in our signature jester wit and humor.\u2019 Mars added that it is hoping to improve the \u2018sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some might contend Mars Wrigley should help improve tooth decay and type 2 diabetes for 10 million people around the world by 2025. But, again, I digress\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Given the vicissitudes of \u201cinclusivity,\u201d there is an ineluctable exclusion \u2013 the green \u201csexy girl\u201d M&#038;M. Despite some candy cadres\u2019 call for her to be reeducated, she will be sent down the memory hole and replaced by a piece of candy with a \u201cmore nuanced personality.\u201d This comes at the very time the green \u201csexy girl\u201d M&#038;M was apparently beginning to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mmschocolate\/status\/615220459253141504?s=20&#038;t=iD5swIuTv--Fvwpc_LI0IQ\">transcend<\/a> her constricting heteronormative sexuality. Alas, one must break an M&#038;M to make an omelet&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Wait! What is this? The advent of new, woke purple M&#038;M be heralded with a song and video?<\/p>\n<p>Mars says the musical debut entitled, \u201cI\u2019m Just Gonna Be Me\u201d features saxophonist Grace Kelly, dance and choreography masters Devin Santiago and Colo Cag, opera singer Anthony Roth Costanzo, and \u201cspecial appearances by the rest of the M&#038;M\u2019S crew including Red, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Blue and Green.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone else get the sense campaign by Mars Wrigley may be about something more than being \u201cinclusive, welcoming, and unifying\u201d? Could it really be about \u2013 gasp! \u2013 crassly exploiting progressive ideology to bolster its brand and profits by roping the woke into eating more M&#038;Ms? Goddess Gaia, forfend!<\/p>\n<p>So, my door knocking, cosplaying fiends, best keep your heads. For when a major corporation impales itself by pimping puerile progressive ideology and skewers itself on the deviled horns of self-satire, thus comes the curse of the Inclusive Candyperson!<\/p>\n<p><b>A <i>Human Events<\/i> contributor, the Hon.
