Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Black Belt Jones]

Gotham is beyond saving. And must be allowed to die.

Seems like a tragic figure - like he couldn't find the right place for himself, and his ideas, in the world. I mean someone as intelligent as him joining the BNP is 100% on the grift, no question. But then you hear recordings of him giving an extempore lecture on WB Yeats, straight off the dome, to an alehouse full of skinheads and have to wonder how did he end up like that?

Culture war is just class war by another name. Keep the working classes at each others throats over all manner of "grievances" around race, gender, sexuality or religion. None of it matters when you can't afford to pay your gas bills.

Elites control all sides of the argument, there is no "left" or "right" only the mega rich and everyone else. Don't look at the 100,000 non-doms who are avoiding tax. Don't look at the mega rich who are playing international monopoly in our cities. Just make sure you have an opinion on BLM, or LGBT or whatever other alphabet soup is currently en vogue.

Reject it all, become a dissident. Take care of yourself, take care of your family and take care of your community.

Down to education and you can be working class and educated let's get that out there.

The more educated you are the less likely you are to support right wing populist parties and buy into culture wars. It’s not unique to the UK it’s the same in the US the same all over where education is universal.

These are facts not just random anecdote there are significant studies done to show this. Countries like the UK and USA is split more down cultural and educational lines than anything else politically now.

No longer about rich and poor or north vs south black or white and man women or I. It’s about level of education and social background.

That maybe true but people I know who’ve bought into this are pretty well educated to be honest. Just seem to have an underlying bitterness.

Picking a side and then defending it is deeply human behaviour with roots extending way back beyond recorded history- which is of course something the scum who devise things like the culture war understand extremely well.

Anyone is susceptible to it and it’s extremely easy to spread using the control of the media that these people have.

I enjoyed h.bomberguys vid on YouTube about him, where it turns out they have a mutual friend who said PJW is an insecure dweeb and most of his ‘mates’ laugh at him behind his back lol

Ugh. PJW is probably the biggest tvvat on the internet. Not at all surprising.

Wait?!? Are you saying (a highly bastardized version of) "Austrian Economics" isn't this totally unique, intellectual-sounding concept I can mention in order to sound edgy and distinctive?...instead, it's a cliched concept that's been courted by right-wing bloggers since like 2002?

Is that the Austrian School that included Karl Popper, the mentor of the world's favourite right wing bogeyman George Soros?

Setting the world record for usage of the word "gay" in a tweet then topping it off with a tautology. Lovely stuff.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Calling Nick Fuentes gay is more of a insult to the gay community than it is Nick Fuentes tbh

 

[LostLegend]

This is the thing about Peterson, that doesn’t make any sense. He uses big word combinations that sound clever but when broken down are actually total gibberish.
