I agree that religion generally shouldn't be the basis of public school education but that was never really a war waged by the right. Otherwise the entire boomer generation and Gen X and their kids would have been religious zealots. In fact, as history has shown, the majority of them went the exact opposite. Literally never was an issue.

Compare that to Millennials where 90% of them are woke gaytards who use the term "birthing people". The left has waged a culture war, and they are winning.

Whether you like it or not, there is nothing in the history of the country as wide spread and dangerous right now than the culture war that the left is waging in America. It's literally destroying the country before our eyes. The argument that "both sides do it!" is extremely weak because the right has never held the institutions of culture in the same dominant fashion as the left does now.

The claim of the Social Cons was that the Left was disingenuous and the Liberals useful idiots, that the endgame was exactly what we are seeing now.

We've seen the Left takes a mile when given an inch: It took 50+ years to normalize Homosexuality, and then it had to be imposed by Judicial Fiat with even California voting down Gay Marriage just a little over decade ago. Within a decade of imposing gay marriage by dictators in robes, we are now at the point where at Governors and even the President of the USA is promoting Prepubescent Sex Changes, Puberty Blockers, and Sex Ed in K-3 regardless of parental wishes.

To get meta for a second, the US System rests on a particular Anglo-Saxon branch of Western Culture. If you alter that culture, it's inevitable the politics will be altered. It's no accident the Left has been doing all they can from the 60s to dilute Western Nations with Turd Worlders, undermine the Family, undermine any role of religion in society/culture. If the Media was actually free market, you'd see about 20-30% of the programming with a nod to the Lord. The few decades of TV made plenty of references to religion - from It's a Wonderful Life to Bishop Sheen, most 50s-60s shows and movies and even news had a religious person give a moral message or report on some doing in religion in the area, etc. But it isn't, which is why you see even less mentions of religion on TV (both fiction and non-fiction) than White Males in ads. It's a control tool designed to subvert.

Elon really has backed these lefty pedos into a corner.

- They accept the sale, they get paid but lose power over the town square.
- They don't accept the sale, the stock price crashes, and Elon can buy more at cheaper and cheaper prices.
- Elon decides it's not worth it, and he dumps (worst case scenario for stock HODLers).

Now add - after Elon dumps his stock, he starts up a serious competitor. Notice Elon did not buy Ford and convert that company to making electric cars - rather, he created a new successful company from scratch.

The culture war is promoted CONSTANTLY just to get idiots to fight.

Can't disagree more. The culture war is THE war.

It's the war that that the oligarchs doesn't care about. They don't care who wins. It's an intentional civil war where the outcome doesn't matter to them.

AmericanKulak says

Also, Creation vs. Evolution is a false dichotomy. It's Neo-spontaneous generation disguised as "evolution", for which there is no evidence for, vs. Creationism (for which there is equally no physical evidence for).

We have no idea how life started, but we have certainty that it adapts to the environment over time. We'll probably never have any clue how life started.

We have 23 chromosomes and apes have 24. We can see what chromosome combined. We can tell it combined because it's got a telomere at the center.

No, they care about it. The fight by Twitter, Disney, MSNBC, etc. against Free Speech and for LGBTQ+P worship proves it.

Not to mention the GOPe rollover at every stage of the culture war. They all talked tough - say on abortion, gay marriage, and now Tranny Indoctrination - that once it was imposed, they surrendered. Kristol, French, Romney, Collins, etc.

Everything is downstream from Culture. By atomizing individuals, destroying the family, destroying traditional sexuality as the norm, etc. etc. they help create the Human Hive of Insectoid Arcology living where people Own Nothing And Be Happy..

They are just doing genetic selection for those that survive.

I view our oligarchs as the Hapsburgs - not gods. They don't know the rules or understand them. Their progeny will be wiped out in time. To prolong their existence (genetic existence) they will have to claim to be gods and have the public believe them.

I'm pretty much an atheist, but I see the utility of religion. I consider it incorrect, but it keeps people together during hard times, and maintains culture. It kept Europe together for 1000 years, quite brutally in some cases, but it maintained society in many cases. Same is true of Islam.

AmericanKulak says

borderless corporate fascism

That's a pretty good description of the enemy.

As an example, the "Freeze Peach" and "Disinformation" and "Misinformation" campaigns began in the Media and Academia, not by politicians, who embraced it later.

The Regime Media is scared shitless of Musk because they have devoted so much to destroying the cultural value of Free Speech, which is consistently characterized as White Supremacy, Russian Misinformation, and Medical Misinformation that needs the Guiding hands of Oligarchy Experts (paid by the Oligarchy).

The war on Free Speech began in US Universities in the 90s, moved to Big Tech and Media in the early 2010s, and only in the past couple of years has been a subject for politicians.

I think genealogy also has that same utility, and without the requirement of belief in unprovable things. This is why I've been dedicating myself to genealogy lately.

In particular, the Roman gens, the Irish clan, and the Chinese family were all based on patrilineal descent, giving men (specifically men) a reason to join together and fight against enemies. These social structures each lasted for over 1000 years. So one could argue that the feminist attack on female fidelity is also an attack on this alternate source of male unity which threatens the supremacy of borderless corporate fascism.

richwicks says

They aren't the oligarchy - they are the useful idiots.

No. They are under the control of their Execs and Employees who were culturally transformed... in College, at DIE sessions, etc.

It's no accident that @Mell contrasted Tech in the 90s and early 2000s with Tech Today. That was a result of a new generation - millennials - that were reculturalized in College to hate Free Speech and embrace Expert Worship, the latter being controlled by the Elites, as we saw with the CDC, FDA, even the Smithsonian.

The Tech Wives, Soros, Wall Street, World Economic Forum, etc. all embrace Wokey Dokey, unlimited mass immigration, etc. and are imposing it with the help of employees and executives in big corporations.

People are like "why won't Twitter just change???" - it won't change because people still use it. Duh. When Yahoo! tried to enact censorship and fuck with their search algorithm to give "preferred" (paid for) search results, people just left. Leave. The shitshow depends on you paying attention to it.

When alternatives show up our "news" media screams "it's far right, white supremacist!!" - that works for a little bit. Not long. They just constantly undermine their credibility, and what is left behind is a bunch of morons that really aren't wanted. Talking to an NPC is pretty fucking boring. I have Facebook entirely blocked on my computer, you know how often I come across somebody giving me a link to Facebook? I NEVER do. Maybe literally once a year. Nobody here uses it.

You said yourself that they get funding from all kind of government and ngo dark pools, so it's not simple selection anymore, the big tech titans of the dot com boom who didn't make it or went back to being moderately large companies were examples of selection through commoditization, but now with the govt so vastly overreaching and entrenched in every decision it's not natural selection. This war matters and elections still matter until they are consistently stolen without any uprising. We're not there yet.

He can't take it over because it's owned by the intelligence agencies. You don't believe us.

They are free of market forces, but they still need people paying attention to them.

The death of newspapers is ongoing (pretty much finished actually) and the death of television is following. You'd be shocked at how many people are out there just want to inform you, and are doing it out of their basement. The cost of entry is 0 now. They do this shit as a hobby. That's why there's censorship, it's not to protect corporations, its to prevent the truth from coming out, and that's surprisingly easy to do today.

Disagree. It can still be brought down by competition, sure the agencies can fund it but it will become meaningless if it's not the main free speech site anymore. Also at any given point in time there are plenty of backstabbers and people who are not powerful enough yet who will consider switching sides just to advance, or who realize they will be facing increased animosity and poor prospects by the proles which eventually does matter (see the NV governor followed and cussed out in Vegas), the system is not rigid but dynamic, it's a constant tug-of-war, the power balance has shifted left-wards quite a bit in the past years but it could change by mid terms quickly.

I have to say, this forum may not be large but the discussions are hard hitting. Great reads.

If it's just a few companies selling products who are subsidized by the government - through tax payer money, and "social media" is also subsidized the same way, and there's no need for advertisement, they will persist.

People won't be able to make a living making alternatives, and people won't be able to make a living selling genuine products.

I keep pointing out that at least 4.6 billion dollars was handed out to unknown corporations during the "covid bailout". That's a decent sum of money.

There are companies that can take on loans at basically 0% interest being kept alive. Compete against that when you have to pay 1% interest on a billion dollars.

It doesn't have to have any influence, it just has to APPEAR to have influence.

CNN has less than 1 million viewers at any given moment. How is that being funded? They have multiple hosts that make more than $1 million a year. Ae they really getting $10 out of every viewer on a yearly basis for the commercials to pay for it?

When the government was allowed to directly send money to CORPORATIONS, that was the end of the country. Government Motors.

I remember when Lee Iacocca went to the government for a loan for Chrysler and what a huge deal that was. He got it, but he got a LOAN, and not at 0% interest, and it was public.

Everybody was asleep with covid when the government purchased our entire fucking economy. We have NO IDEA where the money went.

There's two lines of thought:

* The Executives are super stupid morons who don't realize their often trust fund baby bored Wokie Millie employees are shitting them
* The Executives know what they have to say, do/promise to stay in the Club that guarantees future employment.

I'm in the second camp. There's no way Disney Chapek and the Twitter Execs. Chapek started with Heinz and then multiple household brands with Thompson before joining Disney, he knows all about market research and knows that the people who want 50% LGBTQ Disney Characters are Full of Shit and way out of the mainstream. He also knows he's "Out of the Club" and "No longer in the Party" if he doesn't toe the line. The final proof is watching the video of the Disney Execs THEMSELVES talk about their kids in Private Leftist Schools in LA/SF saying half the kids are queer, about their Transkids, etc. etc.

Nation state as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state. - Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: The Technetronic Era, 1971

Mika Brzezinski is the daughter of Zbigniew

The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.

- Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages (1976)

Today it is infinitely easier to kill one million people than to control one million people. - Zbigniew Brzezinski
