Heresies Ep. 4: Britain's Silent Cultural Revolution

The New Culture Forum proudly presents Heresies, Episode 4: "Britain's Silent Cultural Revolution", presented by Emma Webb (#NCFHeresies). In the year of Black Lives Matter protests following the death of the American George Floyd, we have seen Britain in the grip of a revolutionary and iconolastic fervour. Statues have been toppled and defaced, historic buildings and streets renamed, priceless historic collections "decolonized" and the legacy of great figures debased & sullied. How worried should we be?
Great Britain is home to a delicate ecosystem of political, legal and cultural institutions, they are part of a rich tapestry woven by the people who have called this land home for over a thousand years. Over the generations our institutions have been the custodians of our culture and identity, but, in recent decades, have we failed to be theirs?
Featuring interviews with:
* Charles Moore
* Giles Udy
* Nigel Biggar

David Hume was the finest British thinker in my opinion. How can a University just throw him away because a few historically illiterate students cry a little bit?

[@Grimenoughtomaketherobotcry]

Might be because they need to put bums in seats in order to pad their, "compensation packages", or simply to remain in business, so they are willing to pander to the lowest common denominator. And many of those "bums" come from highly monied families. University administrators are keenly aware of this.

“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always-do not forget this, Winston-always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.” 1984 by George Orwell

It's my experience that so many ordinary people are just so literally switched off to MSM and all the other wokeism purveyors. Here's just one little vignette...last week, a supermarket delivery driver, a regular mid-30s hard-working guy, made an offhand little comment about something that sounded wokey and I actually said, 'Oh you mean all that stuff coming from the woke gang?!' He looked gleekit (gormless, for English people!) and asked,'What's that?' He hadn't even heard of 'woke'. So I briefly explained with a couple of media examples. He immediately knew what I was talking about and told me in no uncertain terms that he was so sick of telly that he ditched his TV and just watches other and alt media online. He thought it a great plus that he doesn't have to pay the BBC's -extortion tax- licence fee any more. Point is that ordinary people are repulsed and leaving these woke idiots behind in their droves.

Six or seven years ago, I did what I thought was going to be a Masters degree in Music Technology at a U.K. university. It turned out to be a Postmoderism degree. Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault, Guattari…these names were mentioned all the time. I remember thinking, ‘what the fuck has any of this got to do with music technology’? It seemed shoehorned in for the sake of it. And the implication was obvious: ‘if you want your degree, you must mention these philosophers at least once in your dissertation.’ I jumped through the hoops and got the degree, but I’ve not been back. There’s definitely an agenda going on. I thought it was just this institution and the interests of the tutors there: I’m now discovering that it seems to be endemic.

[@anotherfreediver3639]

There's a wonderful website (or at least there was) which generated random postmodern essays that were complete nonsense. Sometimes I used to use them, or bits of them, to reply to people who were quoting Derrida's convoluted arguments ... and sometimes they never noticed!

At 50 mins the chap who is a historian - must be viewed as being as lazy (by repeating what others have said) as those he previously criticised for not doing any research. Colston, was a trader. Not a slaver and he never owned any slaves. He lived for 84 years, traded for about 60 and for just 12 of these was part of the Royal African Company - which did buy & sell slaves as a small part of it's dealings (all slaves were bought from local chiefs or Arab slaver traders). But, NO evidence was found by Bristol Uni that he joined any of those ventures. He headed the company for just 1 year, then sold up and left and we don't know why. So as he had not invested in those ventures, you could draw the conclusion that he didn't agree with them. We do know he made his money from trading wine & fruit from Iberian peninsular, selling cloth & financing. The statue was in recognition that he then bestowed his wealth on Bristol. But lets not let the facts get in the way of the agenda. If the city of Bristol decide they wish to be disassociated with Colston, then his endowments to be city should be returned to his descendants.

Brilliant documentary which clearly articulates what the common man understands to be happening in their ‘green and pleasant land’ yet can’t express their frustration by the ‘noise’ and heavy handed ideology sweeping over us like a storm that can’t be stoped, can’t be reasoned with using what we thought was ‘our British culture’. There is a Britishness that, while not perfect, is us. We’ve learned to live with the quirkiness of what it means to be British. We, in the main, don’t want to lose that distinctiveness. Whether it be Immigration being foisted on us, or the extreme leftist/socialist ideology that seems to be active in university. Among our governments in recent times, or sadly among certain privileged community who don’t appear to have to live cheek by jowl with the consequences. What has nerves been aired, for perhaps fear of being branded a racist, is this: when you have several ethic groups from differing cultural backgrounds, it is simply not possible to expect these groups to live in harmony. They might for a while until there is a ‘culture clash’. We must acknowledge that anyone who is different from you does create a ‘fear’ divide. And fear is the driving force behind such tension. We are afraid of anything that is different from us, that’s just a basic fact. I can cite many examples, but practically all riots are on racial grounds. The British government, in its drive for cheap labour could not have imagined what would result. But they should have, if Heath didn’t despise ‘prophet Enoch Powell. Alas, we are where we are.

Was doing a translation for a contemporary arts centre in Belgium and the works weren't in oil on canvas but human excrement on canvas, but I already knew about the ugliness going on in the arts world - unmade bed, pile of bricks, etc... It's particularly obvious in the English speaking world because of this awful self-loathing that I don't relate to - the French are proud to be French, proud of their flag and national anthem... But because all white Western nations have to share their countries with half the planet, who knows where this will lead to...
