A few points. Firstly, the shear volume of this world-view affirming neoliberal propaganda is basically infinite. It is created faster than anybody can keep up with, and crosses all mediums. It has not slowed for lack of commercial success, and has generally very high budgets and production values.
Secondly, there is a pervasive myth called "get woke go broke". It has been repeated like a mantra for a certain film and culture review slop-flinging sector of cultural critics, such as Nerdrotic and his panel guests, or Jamie at the Quartering. Its basically a mainstream phrase at this point, even among the apolitical and moderate. This is a myth, because the intention of all of this propaganda is to control the culture and utilize repetition of certain themes, such as the dopey white father, the benevolent ethnic, or the girl boss.
By controlling the culture and the Overton Window, not to mention constantly rewriting history, control of a large enough percentage of the population is achieved. This mass of plebs is often comprised of the informationally bereft leftist, the neurotic, the childless old feminist, and the usual rather detestable and angry spit-talkers. As Keith mentioned.
But it does give them a unified symbology and set of reified beliefs. It allows them to out-group dissidents to the system, and often violently suppress them, as we can see in pro-life groups, the or the now perhaps slightly ashamed white BLM supporters.
"Get Woke go Broke" is a fallacy because the intention was never to make money- that was a very nice side benefit during the century or so that Hollywood and their ilk controlled the entertainment scene. We are now sliding back into an era, maybe we can call it the Greenblattian era, where elites just ham-fistedly belch out vitriol and threats, while providing what is obviously propaganda that is tiring and dull. Good old-fashioned propaganda.
It all points to loss of control for The Regime, but lets disabuse ourselves of the idea that the propaganda itself will stop because it loses money, now. The Beeb or Hollywood can lose billions up front, it still allows for the theft of trillions on the back-end. It also provides moral justification for the increasing persecution of populists, and what is looking like a majority of the population, the NATIVE population, at least of a growing list of countries, from Canada to Ireland.
Interestingly, China has officially given the middle-finger to faltering efforts of Hollywood in their country as part of the trade war, recently. That policy may have some of the most interesting outcomes. Hollywood was supposed to expand into that market to make up the losses for its failing products at home. As well as losing money, people are just able to see this propaganda for what it is, and reject it more forcefully. Its efforts are becoming risable, and counter-productive. But I doubt that lack of financial success will slay the beast. It has to be replaced by a better competitor.
We do poke a bit of fun at Sowell on our side, but those of us who had libertarian phases were impressed with him. He does have some good encapsulations and turns of phrase.
It's interesting seeing a reasonably high level of Black intellect - it has its own style and flair for sure.
(I often think that jazz is so good because it does represent a fairly high IQ tranche of Blacks too - simply because you NEED a reasonably high IQ to do music at all, it has a lot of hard logic and system, etc. to it. I think the average for musicians is something like 120? Which is quite respectable, solidly midwit in a meaningful, non-pejorative sense; music has been aptly characterized as the highest-IQ of the manual professions, which is a cute but oddly accurate way of putting it :) )
I don't want to speak for the other commenter. But my problem with your comment is your use of pretentious words like "hard logic" and "system" to describe jazz.
Jazz from Charlie Parker in the 40's/50's to Miles Davis and then all of the Blue Records artists in the mid-60's, all simply improvised over what's come to be known as The Real Book, which is just a songbook filled with tunes that weren't even writen by jass musicians. And when Miles went "electric" in the late 60's (inspired by Hendrix) it was just free form. So, "hard logic", "system"? How cringe can you get?
True. Weather Report, RTF, et al in the 70's was complex. But that was jazz-rock and the songs were written/played by musicians with a lot of, classical training.
Plus music in general is nonverbal (and even when there's singing it's mostly from the songbook, ie; Cole Poter, etc.), and that definitely goes for a lot of jazz greats. You can tell when they take the horn out of their mouth and start talking just how "high IQ" they are. So, please. Speak your mind, but know your facts.
I was talking about music in general involving system and hard logic. cf. Pythagoras. My claim is that you need a reasonable degree of intelligence to write/play music; jazz is a subset of music.
And you're talking absolute rubbish re. jazz. Bebop's "thing" was the use of Romantic classical harmony, the cycle of 5ths is a Romantic classical trope, and bebop greatly expanded on the use that had been made of it by the original "standards" writers. Charlie Parker and other musicians of that period are are on record as expressing admiration for the classical romantic composers, particularly the Russians (and of course they would also be familiar with the richly Romantic-style music of Hollywood film scores, many of the composers of which had a direct lineage connection back to Russia).
What you have to bear in mind is that a lot of those jazz musicians in the 40s and 50s had been taught classically (i.e. their trumpet teachers, piano teachers, etc., would have taught them classically), so they were familiar with many kinds of music other than jazz.
Miles Davis said it, apparently. Not really surprising.
But of course Miles had a steady stream of notable White jazz musicians in his bands, and I think he qualified that comment by saying he meant "prejudiced" Whites (though that sounds like an excuse to me, he probably meant it as originally, and it was just an impulsive outburst of race hatred).
I’m bothered by the obsession and the impulse to classify and define every nuance between races as if it really contributes anything meaningful to the larger more important conversations about nationalism, white identity, and white replacement. The hierarchy reveals itself readily, we don’t need to go back to measuring skulls.
IQ is a bit simplistic when comparing between races. For example, even college educated blacks I've met have a problem understanding per capita while smart Whites I've known simply weren't good at music or verbal skills.
IQ is seldom the only relevant comparison. The race realist contention is that the races vary, on average, along all sorts of dimensions and traits, both psychological and biological/physical - e.g. Blacks have less impulse control and higher time preference than Whites, Jews or East Asians, they mature earlier physically (which is hugely relevant to schooling), etc.
But IQ is a fairly important signifier when it comes to making and sustaining civilization and performing useful work in it.
Agreed. My point is that IQ becomes less useful as a comparison the less related the population groups are. For example, dogs have an IQ of ~50 yet are better able to survive on their own and have more common sense than most liberals in MENSA. While a human with an IQ of 50 can barely function even with a helper.
IIRC, Whites are the only race whose non-verbal IQ is higher than the verbal component of IQ.
The British Far Left are The Most Fanatic Anti Whites of all of Planet Earth. No other White Nationality Far Leftist Comes Close to the Anti White English Far Leftist.
Not just propaganda, they are openly persecuted in their own homeland. I find that they sort of just drift away rather than even talk about the subject of race at all. They just sort of say that racism is wrong, which is fair enough. Its like they have given up on leadership, or improving humanity, having given it their all and then been not only defeated but humiliated for generations.
They should be natural leaders of the world, IMHO. I actually think that the reduction of their overt racism due to the war has helped them towards being seen like this. Germans are the most popular people in the world in polling. Israelis the least. Brown people see them as fair, having ben defeated in their extreme ideology and then reformed and atoned. Most Germans are soft spoken and very empathetic towards other peoples and cultures, in my observations. They actually have earned quite a bit of international good will.
I know where you are coming from on that thesis of German guilt since 1945. However the Germans today are kind of like the French where you mass Crowds of Young Nationalists that echo the early weimer days. Both the French And Germans being continental europeans have always had that inner tribalism within their DNA due to centuries and Milleniallums of Fending off Foreign Hoardes of Bastard Men on Horse back. We in UK do have that savage tribal within us however we are Island nation that made us far greedy and incompetent in survival foresight. Also The UK government that has lasted for more 400-500 years old. Older than another European Governing power has produced the ultimate Anti Nationalist Playbook in destroying inner nationalist decent. However My hope for My Country in UK is that this incredible anti Nationalist power in British &Irish Goverment will come to end by own masochistic nature. Its mass importing foreign barbarian hoardes that will overlwem Europe's most sophisticated Police on Earth. The English invented the concept of Police and Policing. One these Brown Barbarian hoardes overwelm and throw out the Anti Tryanny in all major UK/Irish Cities. This leaves the Opportunity of lifetime for us Native Whites in Britain and Ireland to fight take back what is ours without of fear legal Prosecution.
"Irish Taoiseach Simon Harris credited Adolescence for sharing insight into how “toxic influencers” fill a void in young men’s lives."
As if the "toxic infuencers" since pre-WWII hasn't been the hostile elite and their useful idiots and paid proxies in the government, academia, and media.
"The leaders of both Ireland and the UK promised to introduce showings of Adolescence to schools. Irish."
Good! Do it! It'll red pill the entire country while exposing the hostile elite. F'ing Morons!
And it doesn't even matter if most don't actually take the pill. It'll still rattle the country and beyond, and wake people up in spite of themselves, simply because the gap between the propaganda and reality is just too great to ignore. So, go ahead. Do it. It won't make your institutions run any better and will just show the world what incompetent social managers you are, while red pilling those you intend to brainwash. Above all, it'll prove Nietzsche right when he said, "Power makes people stupid."
Hard not to think of Floyd and the hysteria of 2020. I think these things have limits. Floyd was one such limit that I think did more harm than good for the regime long term. It causes too much bifurcation and entrenchment. It’s very radicalizing in other words for the right. Hopefully in a few years we can look back at this show as the high water mark of insanity for the UK, and the beginning of a shifting tide.
Maybe every country has to go through this cycle… and hopefully not more than once.
I think far too much focus is put on how mentally ill the liberals tend to be.
Sure, many of them might suffer from various mental illnesses. But I don't think that's what matters.
All of this apparent "ignorance" of facts and data is, in my humble opinion, simply a vehicle to maintain power, and nothing else. All of it is cynical and done for pragmatic purposes. The "right", with its many components, like anti-feminism, or anti-multiculturalism, is a significant threat to liberalism, and essentially all our politicians and elites are liberal - including DJT. All the framing is done from within liberalism, left or right.
So, simply clinging on power and fending off competition.
The story, as far as I know, is about a girl who does something stupid and loses social capital in school. As a result she is asked out by the protagonist and rejects him. In order to regain her social capital, she organises an online bullying campaign against the protagonist. In a confrontation, and in a fit of rage against his powerlessness in the face of this girls actions, he stabs her. He is then interviewed by a series of HR harridens who blame toxic masculinity and Manosphere influencers as a cope, because they cannot face the fact that the feminisation of society has led to this.
As such, the "Andrew Tate" thing is a way for the system to abdicate responsibility.
The Gynocracy that we now live in, has led to young men, like the protagonist, being completely ostracised and marginalised.
Re. the "luxury beliefs" point, the Australian philosopher Peter Munz proposed that the bizarre efflorescence of political beliefs is a kind of peacock's tail scenario (not quite the apposite simile, but that's a quick and dirty way of putting it).
When Darwinian conditions are relaxed due to division of labour, prosperity, etc., there's enough of a cushion from hard, often binary (survive or die) reality that lots of people can afford to have unrealistic beliefs.
That being the case, there's then a kind of arms race to see who can demonstrate commitment to ever-more-bizarre and ever-more-detached-from-reality beliefs, to demarcate the in-crowd from the out-crowd.
(Note: that compares and contrasts interestingly with the idea from that E. German writer about what life was like in E. Germany, where people were secretly ashmed to go along with the insane official ideas, but had to, in order to preserve their lives (at the limit) and get and maintain social standing (the everyday scenario). One can probably be quite well assured that a sizeable percentage of people who profess modern-day libtard (or rightoid, for that matter) nonsense are secretly ashamed of it, but go along with it, not for life/death reasons, but merely for social standing.
(Indeed this may be why memes have such a good ROI for our cause: truth-telling humour can puncture that shell, and get people to confront their hypocrisy in a more wry, relaxed manner.)
That must surely be because humour often trades on truth (it often alludes to true things we don't normally speak about, like taboos or whatever) and at the moment the Right is more on the side of truth than the Left.
It wasn't always that way: there were times in the past when the Left was ahead with humour, when it was pointing to real injustices, etc.
It's such an interesting topic. I think it's also actually to do with humour. Woke people seem to love to think themselves pure, pious and superior in their obsessions so that really does not lend itself to self-effacing reflection on the human condition; they think it's all worked out.
I read this because I wanted to be informed about the propaganda and 'what they're up to', without having to actually watch the slop! This will be a good article for posterity because compared to other DR creators I've read/watched on the topic (Dutton and Sargon), it doesn't go scene by scene*. It's succinct while still giving a good overall view of the cultural landscape.
*There really isn't a need to go scene-by-scence. It's the usual predictable crap (race swapping, hysterical story lines, wHiTe mAn bAd.. etc).
Name one thing non-Whites can do that we cannot do ourselves and that we cannot survive or thrive without which justifies the presence of hundreds of millions of them and rapidly rising in our homelands.
No, I said “our homelands” - I’m talking about White countries as a whole. And yes, it’s hundreds of millions. Probably about 200m in the US and Canada combined, 100m or more in Europe, maybe 5-7m in Australia and New Zealand.
So again:
Name one thing non-Whites can do that we cannot do ourselves and that we cannot survive or thrive without which justifies the presence of hundreds of millions of them and rapidly rising in our homelands.
You really do just assume people will take your word for it and not watch the video itself. One woman speaking in the beginning makes it clear it's fiction and not a documentary. The other woman clearly slips up saying "it's a documentary" when she means series, as anyone with eyes and ears would comprehend based on this conversation they know it's a fictional series, which has been established in this video. Even one of the times the word documentary got used, the woman clearly says fictional before it. Anyone claiming this video is going around perpetuating the idea that this show is a documentary is a dishonest actor with an agenda. Get bent you absolute retard.
Yes she slipped and said it was a documentary because she basically views it as a documentary. The male presenter is visibly offended by the interviewee comparing it to another fictional series. They clearly view it as more real than reality itself.
Maybe it is just me being an American, but I find this whole knife crime thing to be absurd. Frankly, I think being unarmed totally in Britain the way things are going would be the height of insanity.
Yes I know that is tangential at best to what is being discussed but I figured I’d throw it out there anyway
Great article Keith. Nothing demonstrates the bizarrity of the situation more clearly than this interview on BBC Breakfast: https://x.com/addicted2newz/status/1910281285798396237
Lol. So ridiculous
Another fantastic article.

This reminds me of Thomas Sowell's Vision of the Anointed, which, according to him, works like this:
Phase 1: Imagine a crisis, without any evidence, sometimes the exact opposite of what is really happening.
Phase 2: Make up a solution.
Phase 3: Apply solution. Solution doesn't work.
Phase 4: Reject all criticism of solution, claim that the crisis is too complicated for that criticism.
Yep, that's a good encapsulation.
We do poke a bit of fun at Sowell on our side, but those of us who had libertarian phases were impressed with him. He does have some good encapsulations and turns of phrase.

My mind is gone; only came across it two days ago.

What is missing is that the solution always financially benefits some faction of the Left.

I imagine the Germans must be worse, due to 80 years of Holocaust propaganda.

Another reactionary retard who doesn't know what fiction is.
Did you even read the article? The whole point is leftists are treating it like it wasn't fiction
The only people I see treating it like it isn't fiction are right wing morons writing articles about it.
Name one thing non-Whites can do that we cannot do ourselves and that we cannot survive or thrive without which justifies the presence of hundreds of millions of them and rapidly rising in our homelands.
Hundreds of millions? The population of the UK is only 68000000 you stupid knob.
Did I say “the UK”?
No, I said “our homelands” - I’m talking about White countries as a whole. And yes, it’s hundreds of millions. Probably about 200m in the US and Canada combined, 100m or more in Europe, maybe 5-7m in Australia and New Zealand.
So again:
Name one thing non-Whites can do that we cannot do ourselves and that we cannot survive or thrive without which justifies the presence of hundreds of millions of them and rapidly rising in our homelands.
Fuck your homelands Jimbo.
The BBC female presenter in this clip repeatedly refers to it as a "documentary": https://x.com/addicted2newz/status/1910281285798396237.
You really do just assume people will take your word for it and not watch the video itself. One woman speaking in the beginning makes it clear it's fiction and not a documentary. The other woman clearly slips up saying "it's a documentary" when she means series, as anyone with eyes and ears would comprehend based on this conversation they know it's a fictional series, which has been established in this video. Even one of the times the word documentary got used, the woman clearly says fictional before it. Anyone claiming this video is going around perpetuating the idea that this show is a documentary is a dishonest actor with an agenda. Get bent you absolute retard.
Yes she slipped and said it was a documentary because she basically views it as a documentary. The male presenter is visibly offended by the interviewee comparing it to another fictional series. They clearly view it as more real than reality itself.
I didn't realize retards could read people's minds now and provide implied meaning. What other retard skills do you have?
“He just like me fr”
Maybe it is just me being an American, but I find this whole knife crime thing to be absurd. Frankly, I think being unarmed totally in Britain the way things are going would be the height of insanity.
Yes I know that is tangential at best to what is being discussed but I figured I’d throw it out there anyway
