[@pete3953]

I just posted that, though Lindsay is brilliant and what he says is so important, it is too academic to resonate with the average person. I said we need a Hitchens or Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins. But then saw a video from Andrew Doyle on this subject and he clearly has a way of communicating, including the use of humour (like Hitchens) that could make him a very important voice in this battle.

James Lindsey is brilliant and his work is outstanding. Others such as Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray (and others) have done a an amazing job putting the spotlight on the existential dangers of the insidious and cancerous Trojan Horse creep inherent within Post-Modernism, Neo-Marxism, Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality and Wokeness , but James Lindsay has really connected the dots on a whole new level.

[@gothicwestern]

It's interesting though that the crux of his arguments have been expressed by many and for years but it is not until someone can analyse and explain the arguments in the form of a thesis that the conclusion (or crux) becomes acceptable or legitimised. Which in fact relates to the substance of his thesis that the core tenets and rules of Western civilisation need to be retaught and relearned.

Does everyone really think this is some mysterious coincidence? You have a group of people who genuinely believe they are more intelligent than everyone else, and that they have the moral authority to act and guide society, because they believe themselves to be chosen above all others. We find those people everywhere when we discuss this topic, and when you look at the numbers you see them overrepresented by an absurd degree, overrepresentations measured in the *thousands of percent.* Yeah, I'm sure that this is just the weirdest, biggest, most infinitely repeating coincidence in the history of the world, and we just definitely should not bring it up or discuss it.

They like to parrot terminology that they themselves barely understand. So.....I've found a good tactic is to play the curious, interested 'student' when someone wants to virtue signal this stuff and spout their innane lingo at you. Innocently keep asking them to explain what they're referring to by these terms. "Oh that sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what you mean by the term 'white privilege' exactly. Could you go into more depth about that?" You will quickly discover (as will they) that they have no real idea, that the roots of their parroted mumbo jumbo are very shallow indeed, and are easily countered with real world examples that show how absurd their generalisations are. It's fun to make them squirm, all the while you are being a curious, open, innocent 'learner'.

[@chinesecovidanalswabs4752]

That's what a lot of people already do online. Leftists by in large, don't know the stuff they parrot nor do they care really. The buzzwords they throw around are just means to an end and to justify their "feelings, the most important thing to a lefty(narcissism also plays a part when it comes to savior mentality). All the signs they hold up in "protest" are made by someone else that funded it which is usually Marxists who need useful idiots. With that being said, the tactic of being a interested observer won't get you very far with these thoroughly brainwashed idiots as you will inevitably get called out and attacked when they are incapable of articulating their points or their logic falls flat. Unfortunately civil war or weeding out commies in our education system is the only way this will end.

@J L For modern man, utopia is a place where everyone is perfectly content and provided for. One of our basic needs is for a healthy dose of human contact. Furthermore, many of the products and services that we have can only be provided by society at large unless someone were to overwork themselves (not utopian). Therefore contentedness requires a fairly large and diverse population. Once this size of population is achieved the diversity will result in conflicts and the pareto principle will ensure inequality within said population. That inequality isn't a problem necessarily, but it will be perceived as unfair and will lead to envy and therefore destroy Utopia. No, utopia CANNOT exist on this planet. Please do not encourage such ideas, they have proven destructive again and again. If you wish to entertain this notion please join a small commune. This small commune may work if everyone is very conscientious (not likely). If you grow this small commune beyond perhaps 20 people it will result in greater conflict and inequality. At the end of the day you cannot provide for all needs within such a small community (eg. medical care, medicine, fuel, etc.)

Dear Sun, the Critical Race Theorists are EVERYWHERE - Universities, the armed forces, the Intelligence Service, Companies. Report in 'The Times', August 31, 2020, p. 16, under the headline 'MPs will be made to take antiracist training at work'. The following description is pure R DiAngelo ('White Fragility'). I have asked my MP twice for details of this course/courses, including how much they will cost and who will pay for them. I am still waiting for answers, although I have had formal acknowledgements of my emails.

Like most celebrities and Hollywood, they know their careers depend on it, and their group of friends and benefactors would disappear overnight if they dared to disagree.

They are being manipulated by a Narcissist. It is called "flying monkeys", who a Narcissist uses to accomplish their dirty work. The Narc loves empathetic people and will use that empathy against them. Narcs are master manipulators. Trace the "flying monkeys" back to the source. It is a Narcissist pulling all the strings.

[@10AntsTapDancing]

I worked with a 60 yr old woman who started most of her sentences with 'In a perfect world'...then something bad wouldn't have happened like having her car stolen because she didn't lock it. People wouldn't steal in a perfect world. Asked to describe this perfect world she then laid out a world that no one else in the room wanted to live in and became very angry that her perfect world did not exist. It's easier to write a thesis about what you think is wrong with the world than going out and actually doing something real to address it and even easier to turn a blind eye to the evil required to bring it about. Hoping that being old I will be able to avoid living through the destruction of the West because my voice is shut down by the sheeple who have bought into the lie.

[@sophon238]

The only thing that keeps humanity sane in the presence of suffering is a common view that we are working towards a 'perfect' society, it may be out of reach now but we should always strive to get there

[@10AntsTapDancing]

@@sophon238 We shouldn't be striving for a 'perfect' society we should be striving for a society where as many people as possible can live a full productive life. Islam has it's version of a 'perfect' life but I don't want to live that 'perfect' life. We are all different and as long as the life I want to live doesn't hurt or disadvantage other people then I'm not interested in perfection and I'm certainly not interested in being told how to live by some busy body. I think you should listen to the video again because I think you missed the essential message of it.

[@jameseverett4976]

@@sophon238 there are only 2 roads to a perfect world: either [1] perfect yourself first, and hope other's do the same, and try to influence them to do the same once you become perfect, or [2] try to force perfection on others. The 2nd method never works, because the one's forcing it on others did not go the 1st route first. And if they had, they would know not to force anything on others beyond a minimal set of laws that conserve and protect private property, and basic rights such as the US constitution once was.
