That the West is being systematically gelded by the pc/woke is not in dispute. Universities and the public service are the most pc/woke without any doubt and are prime agents of that gelding.

Conservatives have trouble examining the truth, they prefer to see the status quo through rose-coloured glasses, and deny history.

eg Alan Tudge railing against uni courses which "teach students to hate our country", and which dare to look at Anzac Day in a dispassionate manner. [I'm passionate about Anzac day alright: young lads breathing their last looking at their own guts splattered on their boots, because Churchill f*cked up....]

Talk about "gelding" and "PC woke"...

Quote:

But people do not put up with dictators for long as a normal state of affairs.

...because people are naturally rational and heroic and generous....

The great ignorance and internal contradiction of progressives is regarding environmental conservationists as good and and cultural conservationists as bad.
They want every culture preserved except their own.

Cultural conservationists?

Of a culture.... warts and all?

I thought not...though I agree - economically speaking - the mainstream Left has been diverted from defending the working class since the demise of the USSR which appeared to (erroneously) "prove" that "socialism" doesn't work, and so the Left has allowed itself to be diverted by 'identity politics'.

The pc/woke gelders would not bother visiting Frank because Frank's nuts were harvested by others decades ago.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Exactly. Westerns should change the mindset when look at China.

Buckleys. There will be a civil war in the US before that happens.

And meanwhile the advantages of a consensus one-party meritocracy over an adversarial two-party rabble will become increasingly evident to the whole world.

The USSR was never more than half the size of the US economy. China is set to double the US by 2035. Something to do with a pragmatic synthesis of capitalism and communism...as one commentator said of the results: "Wow!".

And so they should block those sites which are all pushing an obsolete individual sovereignty ideology over and above the required global sustainable common prosperity, achievement of which is necessary for the planet's survival.
