'it’s not the case that institutions have been taken over by radicals, but that radicalism has been conquered by mainstream institutions'

Was Donald Trump influenced by abstruse French literary theory? Not exactly, but he is its most powerful practitioner: Welcome to the Postmodern Presidency, by @DamonLinker. https://t.co/8MDK4GEOpa
Israel both the safest and the least safe place for Jews on Earth. Of course if I was to move to South Africa on the grounds that it's the only place I feel safe 'as a white person' what would people say?
@KenanPerry@Etanarachel The first one is wrong: it's 50%. The second one is misleading: the Holocaust killed roughly 1/3 of *world* Jewry, or roughly the same percentage as the Croats exterminated Serbs.
May 2026 was the first month ever where bots were the majority of traffic on the internet.
Humans will never again be the majority, and the internet will become an AI hellhole.
When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.
Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."
For the very first time, a female soldier has completed the training for Sayeret Matkal. To put this in perspective: this is the IDF's most elite recon and hostage-rescue unit, known for having one of the toughest selection processes in the world.
In the West no one is more brainwashed than the man who thinks he has seen through the brainwashing. This is why Western propaganda and indoctrination is just so much more insidious and in an absolute sense 'worse' than that in so-called 'totalitarian' states.
My red pill moment happened quite early. It started before Brexit when I began regularly reading The Guardian and it gave me a They Live experience.
I kept looking at various stories and headlines thinking, "Why do they hate Britain so much? Why do they hate white people so much? Why do they hate men so much? Why do they hate Christians so much? Why do they hate the nuclear family so much?" And then I noticed this mentality was replicated across the entire left wing media in Vox, Vice, the BBC, The Independent etc.
Then I noticed them starting to support and promote things that just made no sense, like multiple genders, the idea that men could get pregnant, DEI, the idea that non-white people couldn't be racist but everyone who was white was racist by default.
Then I noticed how they responded to various Islamist terrorist attacks which were regularly occurring across Europe—don't look back in anger, Islam is a religion of peace, religion has no terrorism, and how Muslims were always framed as the victims after every stabbing or bombing.
I just started to question everything I'd ever been brainwashed into believing basically. And by the time we got round to Brexit and the strategy from the left and the establishment there was to launch project fear whilst simultaneously scoffing at Brexit voters as stupid racists, by that point I'd already checked out and started down the path to conservatism and patriotism.
But in the ten years since then, things have gotten so much worse that I decided I really needed dig under the hood of left wing poison and understand the mechanics, the history, and the frameworks of how it all operates (I'm neurodivergent so I need to understand how things work).
Then, a little over a year ago, I was talking to my very apolitical stepmother and my apolitical grandmother about some current event, and I mentioned "woke" and they both looked at me and said, "I keep hearing that word, but I don't really know what it means—what is woke?"
So I spent the next year writing a book explaining the entire thing. Anyway, that was journey, and it brought me all the way from naive libtard to proud Restore Britain member. And thank God, because the thought of still captured in that left wing mind prison is pretty disturbing.
The lesson of the Holocaust is that right-wing, capitalist, anti-working class, expansionist, imperialist States are 'Bad'. Naturally therefore that conclusion cannot be drawn.
This criticism is right on the nose. Germany is still conceptualizing the moral world in terms of nations, tribes, ethnicities. The lesson of the Holocaust is STOP DOING THAT.
People in the 'West' have huge difficulty in grasping that most 'TERFs' are incredibly racist/right-wing because most feminists are incredibly racist and right-wing. The 'trans-exclusionary' stuff is irrelevant. You're either talking about class or you are talking about nothing.
Like most on the left (CF also Corbyn) Scargill could never quite grasp that his real enemies were not on the other side, but on his *own* side, of the barricades.
Scargill was right about this but what he was up against was not just the state machine. The TUC hierarchy were co-conspirators in the assault on the NUM because they were as invested as Thatcher in killing off the kind of rank and file militancy that brought Scargill to the leadership of the miners union.
@JocastaMoney Always accuse your opponent of that which you are guilty. This is great stuff, keep it coming. The US rules the world, as you well know. But I do like the 'victor posing as vanquished' schtick, it's done you well financially.
The Right will never ban the various communist parties or the core Marxist texts because they have to pretend that these communist parties might at some point achieve power or that Marxism is still hegemonic. If the truth were understood their whole ideology would collapse.
@s30k__ Woke ideology is anti-gay. Its neo-Marxism in disguise. The LGB got their legal rights under a liberal framework, we will struggle to maintain them under any other ontological system.
@JocastaMoney Also if the objective fact that in the US and the UK there, to all intents and purposes *is* no left and all you have is various flavours of the Right, people might stop voting in the meaningless pretend elections, the presence of which to a large extent justifies the regime.
@JocastaMoney But I do understand why you have to lie. As Corey Robin has pointed out the main aim of the Right is to defend hierarchy in a changing world, and you have succeeded in that. If you were to admit your crushing victory, there would be nothing for reactionaries to react to.
