It's Not New - But More Prolific
"If Christianity goes, the whole of our culture goes. Then you must start painfully again, and you cannot put on a new culture ready-made. You must pass through many centuries of barbarism."
T. S. Eliot 1939

Who are the real Thugs in our Culture?
I will fight for 'free speech' as long as it validates the carefully manipulated and manufactured consensus! In fact I will defend to the death the 'free' speech that contributes to the manufacturing of that specious consensus which is little more than a market shaped and aggressive minority influenced 'group think'.
I continue to be fascinated by the deafening public silence of average 'Joe' (and for the P.C captives 'Josephines') in regard to the inconsistencies of the relativist and P.C positions. As you will see in the You Tube excerpt below, nobody and we do mean NOBODY in the real world lives out the P.C. foundational tenet that one culture is no worse than any other. The so called 'academics' that spew forth the toxic propaganda that all our problems are the result of white, heterosexual male Christian influence don't believe a word of it, as every day that chose and prefer that which has been created by the very culture they decry.
In a remarkable, if not brazen work 'The Victory of Reason' by Professor Rodney Stark we see a landmark modern sociological investigation into the origin and success of the First World West. The following excerpt is from the conclusion of this work...
However, will we not only acknowledge this reality, but take it into account? The answer, at least on the surface of the P.C dominated 'public landscape' is NO! Yet, in private conversations across homes, pubs, sporting clubs and communities such dominance has no sway. People became reasonably adept at playing the 'social game', but in reality hold no such credibility for PC. "Tolerance" for polite talk is seemingly high, but tacit disapproval is growing. However, without clear frameworks in which to think, a worldview that is holistic, sustainable and collectively held, people have difficulty articulating the sense of disapproval of what is clearly unworkable, yet still so well promoted in the 'market place.' Once people begin to think rationally and reasonably, abandon Theo-phobic tendencies and move away from egoist individualism, they will inevitably discover there is a worldview that stands alone.... but will we discover this liberty? In the following excerpt from 'Disappointed with Liberalism" Clive Hamilton gives us reasons why this discovery may be slower than it should be...
The Evolution of Post Truth Culture - The Jettisoning of Christ!
Political Correctness & Conservatism
A secular philosopher – and flawed human – that moved from Left-wing ideology to Conservatism in the height of the 1960’s ‘cultural awakening’. Arguably the philosophical ‘father’ of the neo-conservative movement.’
“Only someone raised in the anglosphere could believe, as I believed in the aftermath of 1968, that the political alternative to revolutionary socialism is conservatism…A visit to Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1979 awoke me to the fraud that had been committed in socialisms’ name, and I feld an immediate obligation to do something about it.”
“Political correctness exhorts us to be as ‘inclusive’ as we can, to discriminate neither in thought, word nor deed against ethnic, sexual, religious or behavioural minorities. And in order to be inclusive we are encouraged to denigrate what is felt to be most especially ours. The Director-General of the BBC recently condemned his organization and its programmes as obnoxiously white and middle-class. Academics sneer at the curriculum established by ‘Dead White European Males’. A British race-relations charity has condemned the affirmation of a ‘British’ national identity as racist. All such abusive utterances express the code of political correctness. For although they involve the deliberate condemnation of people on grounds of class, race, sex or colour, the purpose is not to exclude the Other but to condemn Ourselves. The gentle advocacy of inclusion masks the far from gentle desire to exclude the old excluder: in other words, to repudiate the cultural inheritance that defines us.”
