Wow! This is earth-shattering. From the start, this interview just blew me away. I thought I understood what was happening, until I saw this video. As Janice said about the aspect of the goalposts constantly moving, I now realize how much more is going on here, and how much I knew without realizing it – at least not in a way I could put it all together. I now feel similarly about the value of religion, and how valuable it was to all of us, individually and as a society. Ever since I lost my belief at the age of seven, I have envied those who DID believe. And deep inside I sensed something of the true value of that belief.
And I guess that is why in my fiction I have tried to invent institutions, that give us something to believe in, something to live for. But I now see a more practical, concrete purpose for them. And that is their ability to give us moral standards and rules to live by, moral ways of seeing the world and those around us – which not only give us something to live for, but also give us a way to shape our world in a positive way.
And it seems to me the starting point in our attack against feminist wokeism starts with MLK’s idea, that the world we are trying to create is about seeing the content of our character. Because it seems to me THAT is the easiest way to make sense of what is being said here, at least to anyone who is the least bit open to seeing how wrongheaded feminist wokeism truly is.
We could start with the idea that we judge all people by the content of their character, and use that as a cudgel. Of course we could use any of the twenty or so moral virtues that, as Rick says, are antithetical to feminist wokeism today.
In the meantime, Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
Thank you for the post and the video. The late filmmaker Aaron Russo spilled the beans on his former friend, Nick Rockefeller.. Nick told Aaron that his family funded feminism to collect income taxes from working women, to get their children into day care, where they could be indoctrinated by the State, and to destabilize society. Aaron disclosed that in an interview with Alex Jones. Aaron didn't live much longer after that. (He died of bladder cancer, but I remember Senator Frank Church holding up the C I A's heart attack gun on the Senate floor).
Yes, and to spllit the american family into two thus creating more need for product. It was not just the rockefellers. There were other large orgs that pumped money into feminism. Zepezauer's book the Feminist Crusades goes into this stuff. Feminism was not really a grass roots movement like most think.
1. I have to work harder on being [Edit: less] defensive in many things;
2. yes, morality comes into question when 'statistics' are misquoted and used;
3. "this system is the latest version...' of controlling...
4. Janice mentioned that 'we are lessened in making decisions....'
5. Morality is key.
For some years I had a spiritual teacher and one thing that was mentioned was 'to be strong in your own reality'.
Thank you Rick for the example about 'working class' is the enemy.. a strange thought of mine was recently visiting a well known French tourist hot spot. I don't speak French.. so it helps to disengage the mind. Masses of people visit this tourist spot and somehow it disturbed me.. I was there as a tourist myself, so I had to back off and not think I was superior.. but what I felt/ experienced was that some of this 'touristy stuff' is much more available now and whilst on one hand it is great on the other.. I feel now.. !!!! is that it distracts on one level.. kind of like saying 'look what we do for you' 'look how good we are' 'don't you feel included because you can visit this place'..... I hope I don't sound to 'high' but this tourist spot and the shops, restaurants were all owned by a handful of people... I'm not against the rich or being wealthy.
I am one of the masses being catered for but something wasn't quite right and this talk clarified some of this.. possibly..
The last thing is 'sperm'... what the f*ck happens when men, even us gay ones, stop donating, giving, injecting our sperm 'to women' 'into women'... all those industries for childcare etc., etc., will slowly grind to a halt... the population of the world will decrease, but what then?? Forced taking of mens sperm to 'keep humanity alive'.. total disregard for Personal Rights... 'give us your sperm and we make test tube babies and no women will feel assaulted/used/abused in the process, so you men can feel good'.... !!!!!
Thank you for such a interesting, provocative, mind stretching talk..
Thanks for your comment Rick. Interesting points. And yes, we are distracted in so many ways from what the elite are doing. Three things you can do, 1. Meditate. 2. Meditate. and 3. Meditate.
Excellent interview. I won't live long enough to see the renaissance of Western civilization, but I have lived long enough to know that I'm not alone in understanding the problem of wokism (including feminism) as a moral sickness. We can throw stats around till the cows come home, disputing various psychological, economic and political theories, but we'll never even approach a solution to rampant evil--a word that I define primarily in terms of hatred--without relying on a moral argument. Not everything about human existence is universal, but the ability to think morally, and the need to do so, surely is. No human society could exist, after all, without some version of the Golden Rule (Do unto others ... or do not do unto others ... ) and the active cultivation of virtue. Every new generation comes into the world with the ability to foster altruism instead of cynicism, forgiveness instead of revenge, suspicion instead of trust, empathy instead of hatred, reconciliation instead of polarization. But it takes only one generation, if weaned on wokism in its many forms, to cause the atrophy of virtues that civilizations take thousands of years to build.
Unlike Bradford, by the way, I'm not an atheist (or, as I would say, not secular). So I admire him for acknowledging that religion is not merely a "crutch" for the weak, a residue of primitive science or a pack of lies. Religion does provide valuable moral insight, generated largely by trial and error, but it's not synonymous with morality. You don't have to be religious, in short, to value and foster moral virtue and participate in the desperately needed effort to prevent civilizational collapse.
Paul wrote: "But it takes only one generation, if weaned on wokism in its many forms, to cause the atrophy of virtues that civilizations take thousands of years to build."
So true.
Totally agree with what you are saying Paul but how do we go about making moral arguments with people who have no morals?
Good question, Tom. Young people who succumb to ideologies--most of them are college students still trying out fashionable ideologies and personal identities--don't know much about history and philosophy, let alone religion, it's true. But many of them--by virtue of being young--probably retain a residue of the moral intuition that begins to develop in early childhood (unless they miss a step in the process and become sociopaths). This is what makes them critical but also idealistic (until insecurity leads them to adopt ideologies that corrupt and pervert their innocence).
Simply throwing stats at them is unlikely to achieve much, because stats are notoriously easy to manipulate (see the appendix called "Lying with Statistics" in Legalizing Misandry). Likewise, simply denouncing them for being immoral is unlikely to work.
But most of these students still understand what they learned as children (and they do remain children in many ways). Despite the countless theoretical books that adults produce, moral intuition amounts to a combination of common sense and common decency. This is why some students must pour so much energy into "subverting" society in the name of some utopian replacement.
To open the door, require students to explore the actual implications of their arguments on specifically moral grounds. Ask them to justify revenge, for instance, or refusing to treat other people as they would want others to treat them. Or ask them to justify the hypocrisy of double standards. In short, take their moralistic demands seriously in explicitly moral terms. With enough brains to balance their bluster, they'll eventually be able to establish a moral compass and thus a moral code to live by.
Well, it might work. I can't think of anything else.
I can't think of much else either. I have found that people who are drenched in an ideology are so frozen in their stances that they find it hard to test their beliefs or to even look at the consequences of their beliefs. In some ways they remind me of the "walking dead." I do hope I am over-simplifying and exaggerating.
That's why the solution would be--if it's not already too late--to provide children with real education, not indoctrination, long before they reach college.
I've noticed since covid how much I police myself and actually it is a theme in my life. Fear of authority maybe. Under a previous profile I mentioned about wanting to be polite to women as they step into a tram with children and pram and how much this wanting to assist was automatic; despite them having to do it themselves if no one else was around to help!! I see this more and more with people in my own life and others.
Rick is right 100% about policing ourselves rather than by the actual police.. this is a very good point to realise across the world and what is currently happening.
Back to the video now.. thank you Tom, Janice and Rick...
I've also learned in the last 18 months how important it is to have good history lessons and this came to me when I decided to ask, 'what is socialism' and this led me to reading about 'capitalism'.. most of us dislike Capitalism without having ever studied it.. and the different forms it can take.. For me the WEF is named as a capitalistic organisation but it is only one form and as Rick mentions.. and in my own words...
Thank you for fighting for our childrensfutureand raising awareness if what they are up to ..from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Kaylene. I am betting you are in the fight also! Blessings.

Glad you got something from the vid. Agree that MLK's idea would be a good start.

Thank you, Tom, I will look for that book.
Here's a link about the book and I think it has a link at the bottom to the book on amazon https://menaregood.substack.com/p/the-feminist-crusades-making-myths?utm_source=publication-search
Yes, and there was also "Diverting Hate", funded by the DOJ, which you mentioned in a previous post.
Men are Good, Men are Moral.

Still though, I think you are on the right track.

Totally agree Paul, but this is what we have been ignoring for decades and it is going to take decades even if we can solve it soon. It's a tough one.
The French became cannibals during their Revolution
Within the first ten minutes:
I've noticed since covid how much I police myself and actually it is a theme in my life. Fear of authority maybe.
