My guess is yes. They see themselves as the custodians of political correctness, so a white guy wearing anything that isn’t bought from The Gap is cultural appropriation. They’ve turned Halloween into a deadly boring holiday.



That’s an interesting perspective. I hadn’t thought of it exactly that way.



Why wouldn’t you have simply said “No, it’s not offensive“ since we know some Mexicans would have been offended and others would not have been offended? If there’s no monolithic right or wrong response, then you should have felt free to provide yours, right?

I wouldn't have bothered to be honest. Can't see myself being invested enough to give that type of answer I wouldn't have gone that deep. My instinct would be not my business. Ask people who're entitled to have a view on the matter. That's just me though

I think we need to be bit more discerning about this left/right dualism to be honest. When I was growing up, "the left" tended to consist of your blue collar workforce, unions etc. Most of whom had traditional family values and a decent moral code. I differentiate between the traditional left and these metropolitan marxists who seem to want to destroy anything in their path en route to an Orwellian "animal farm" utopia.

I don't actually come across that many of them in real life, but when you put the television on, the world seems to be infested with them. Maybe if we stopped being bystanders observing events while grumbling in the background... then we can actively change things. Starting with our own local spheres of influence...

that's because the intellectual left, primarily journalists are the main culprit in all of this. I actually watched a very interesting video podcast over the weekend about this very issue. I can post it here if enough folks want to see it

Post it anyway. I'm sure people who don't want to see it will find a way to avoid it by consulting their Gypsy Rose Lee celestial charts of Right/Left authority "fact-checking" websites instructing them what they are permitted to digest.

Out of interest, am I the only person who actually has children posting here? Just wondering.

The left always had the middle class/bourgeois posers and agitators too though, visiting the working class areas where you and I grew up in. But yeah, they had those bullish Union sorts too. Remember Wolfie Smith, and “come the revolution?”

The middle class socialists though were duping the working classes, and still are.
You see, nowadays the left, as you know, hate the working class. The vacuous boy prince in Canada is considered “left” and he raided working truckers bank accounts and called them racist because they wouldn’t get vaccinated. The left hate the working class, and especially the white working class. I happen to think that the left have infiltrated too deeply in all the main institutions of society, and it’s essentially our downfall. How we manage the downfall will be interesting, because somehow being “far right” is considered a bad thing, but “far left” is okay. People openly brag on television about being communists. No shame. The left nowadays is trapped in a moronic downward spiral of intersectional identity politics. It’ll take only a generation for people to forget that there are only two genders. The buzz terms of the left will be common parlance: white privilege, toxic masculinity, etc. They’ll be commonly accepted as being true.

I’ve said it several times here - the left have made themselves unelectable, and yet people will vote for them because the left have also made the right unelectable by branding even centrists as being far right - as if there are really Nazis in the cupboard ready to pounce. The left are not fit to govern, so long as they refuse to stand up for women. But people will vote for them. They’ve won the culture war, the gullible have slavishly bought it. Repeat and rinse. We’re done here! That’s basically it..

If you are, then tell us what you think, because I sense that parents are troubled by what’s happening in schools..

Coleman Hughes is a bloody hero! He’s so sharp and able to discern the differences between things. I actually have that video on my watch later list. He recently interviewed a friend of mine, Inaya Folarin Imam and it’s an eye opener for anyone who thinks the lefts idea of race is the true one…

 

[Federberg]

No words…

 

[Moxie]

You said it here.

Implying, of course, that it often does involve chemicals, and the chemicals they use are also used to castrate rapists. It’s unacceptable what they’re doing to young boys, and unbelievable that you think that boys who just reached puberty are of an age to agree to this. Their parents should be looking after them.

In the quote I posted above, you do admit “it’s complicated” but you’ve never seemed in any sense aware of the complete catastrophe that this trans hoax is, for women and children. Maybe you trust your friend more than you trust us, which is reasonable, and he’s opened your eyes to the fact that actual gender dysphoria and what’s going on with children and society in general are two very different things, and I think that’s good. He seems - from the little you’ve said - to be well aware of the consequences of this innovative and totally anti-social, ahistorical and anti-science movement that has gripped the left and become a cancer in the west.

And I’m surprised you’re claiming you haven’t been free to argue your position. You’ve stated your position and faced replies. That’s never bothered you before. What’s different?

Thank you for clarifying that you did misquote me, and only inferred my meaning.

No words…

In other words, let’s go back to segregation.

 

[Kieran]

Thank you for clarifying that you did misquote me, and only inferred my meaning.

I said what you said, and it’s clear for anyone to see. You and I both remember that discussion where you said that the kids are generating this idea that they might not be the right gender - you were letting the adults off the hook for kids being chemically castrated. It’s all in your post…

 

[Kieran]

No words…

Words fail me, and that doesn’t happen too often. And the racist got cheered as well. Very depressing..

I've only got one left in school and he's in his last year. I'm not seeing this agenda play out in his school (yet) and it's too late in the day for it to make any difference. If I had very young kids now, then some form of hybrid homeschooling would be on the cards. There are a lot of networks evolving here that bypass the public system where possible including education.

 

[britbox]

Good conversation. It's also interesting how all the regional and smaller media outlets have ended up being gobbled up by larger conglomerates over the last four or five decades, and even these giants source much of their news from agencies like Reuters. We end up with a binary media like a Fox v CNN and a polarised populace.

The explosion of platforms like Medium and Substack gives some hope to the continuation of decentralised viewpoints.

I think there'll be a huge backlash from this. I've already committed to never buying Nike again. I posted this in a sports WhatsApp chat group I'm on, and the fury was instantaneous. They're. all dumping Nike too. It's been trending. on twitter (which I don't consider to. be the world btw) for a few days. Nike isn't the only one, there's Anheuser Busch as. well. I read an interesting. piece... let me see if. I can find it...



If investment flows are truly the cause of all this nonsense then it might be much more deeply. rooted and problematic than even what I initially feared..

So break this down for me, “investment flows” etc. That the companies are exploiting these gender trendinesses and fashions cynically?
