Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Blue 1]

Most depressing aspect is seeing people I used to respect and thought were reasonably intelligent being taken in all over the shop.

I’m expecting to hear more from that Mollie Mae love island person in the coming years. People are products. Money can be made by saying things that ‘THE WOKE MSM ARENT TELLING US!?’

Essentially. Expect to see her on Question Time at some point.

Honestly never heard of Maajid Nawaz before today - I assume he's a colossal gobshite but why do you characterise him as a grifter? A grifter can't spend years in prison for their beliefs - contradiction in terms.

Definitely is a gobshite, good news he is off the airwaves. Made my day as Benny and Boris still being in position.

Anyone whose job is an influencer on Twitter should be treated with extreme suspicion.

Rather than pollute other threads with culture wars stuff here is a dedicated thread towards the current culture wars and all the objectively dreadful grifting that comes with it.

To start things off we have everyone’s favourite wet blanket getting mad that gay conversion therapy got banned in Canada



Meanwhile one of the UKs premier grifters got yeeted from LBC the other day.

Other than being contrarian, what possible objection does he have to banning conversion therapy?

There’s a Jon Ronson podcast on the BBC Sounds app (called Things Fell Apart), all about the history of culture wars.

They’ve been around a long time.

I think that's the point mate. Lines are formed by two opposing sides without regard to nuance and reason. You're either with one side or the other in their minds.

probably that people have an innate right to get other people to give them their / their parents money in exchange for harmful quackery
