That's correct. The philosophy of identity politics promotes the thesis that those supposedly in power or higher up in the hierarchy are not allowed to show pride in who they are. For example..

  • men cannot have men only spaces, or celebrate male strength, but women can have these things
  • whites cannot have white only spaces, or celebrate white achievements, but blacks can have these things
  • similarly the English, as the dominant nation in the United Kingdom cannot fly their flags, but Scots, or Irish, or frankly anyone else can

It's absurd. But until the whole ideology is repudiated and eliminated root and branch, this nonsense will persist sadly

And by the way, anyone claiming this isn't all that serious should check out reports on single women in America who are increasingly aborting specifically male babies, or at the very least going on social media and stating that intent. We're in a very very bad place!
I agree & think that it's downright disgusting that this is happening.

That’s shocking. I think the self hatred in western societies must peak someday (hopefully before we’re destroyed) and eventually we appreciate how blessed we are to live in the greatest societies in history.

I was watching a bunch of left wing muppets chasing JD Vance’s car (from their position in the wrong street, natch) and I thought, why are these people constantly upset by absolutely normal things, as well as nutty stuff? In other words, are they just addicted to placards and eternal “activism”? Fake activities to make them feel like they’re special? Virtue signalling, while they pray to the God they don’t believe in that nobody actually asks them a question about the cause they pretend to believe in…

Exactly! A simple white heterosexual couple. Seriously what the fk is wrong with these woke activists??
I say it about all these permanent activists - they believe nothing. They don’t care or even know about the causes they say they support. They just want to cause destruction, and that’s it…

I believe they think they're good people. They think they're bringing justice to the world. A type of justice that often conflicts with the law of the land. And if they actually thought through in depth their aims only further injustice and inequity.

Yeah exactly, they think they’re doing good. I watched a reel this morning of an anti-racism march, I think in London. A black conservative wanted to ask questions and once they realised she didn’t agree with them, they didn’t want to talk to her. You’re brainwashed! You’re indoctrinated! I couldn’t think of anything more ironic, as well as racist, than these people.

I think people turn up at rallies without knowing their brief: which river? Which sea? Uh I don’t know, I just turned up, I know a little bit about last weeks protests, if you want to ask me about them? They’re rent-a-cause. They never know how to answer questions so they decide the questions are the problem and the questioner is even worse. I don’t have to know the answer because your questions are Violence and you’re a Fascist!

There is of course someone more calculating and sinister behind them..

“Law enforcement isn’t to prevent crime, law enforcement solves crime, ok? That is what they are supposed to do, they are supposed to solve crime, not necessarily prevent them from happening.”

This is Congressman Jasmine Crockett (D), pronouns She/Her/Ella:

lol! you put this in the UK thread? In a funny way the misuse of law enforcement is even more egregious in the UK now, so maybe it makes sense! Can't even call someone a "muppet" now :D

Yeah there’s a strange misuse of power happening everywhere in the west, it seems. The law is weaponised to favour some, and others. I doubt the creators of this situation have thought it through at all, that eventually the creatures they created will devour them…

Sorry mate - the architects have definitely have thought it through. It's far too much of a coincidence to be happening in almost every Western nation through incompetence. What's happening is very orchestrated.

I'm open to that possibility, but there's another possibility.. they are all hostage to the same identity politics ideology. It doesn't have to be top down Illuminati. It could just be mass idiocy

@britbox you seen this?? It's happening..:facepalm:

Yup, happening everywhere.

I suspect most of it will be soft compliance first (making it inconvenient to do stuff without - they're already irritating the piss out people with all these authentication measures now), and then there will likely be some huge cybersecurity event to trigger adoption as a "necessity".

I'd suggest getting your critical and private information onto a drive you can unplug from the web. I'd also personally recommend swapping out of Windows (and Apple) and going open source. Linux Mint is a soft landing for Windows or Apple users.

Then there are all the Nano Health platforms that are waiting... and a financial collapse and reset... and probably a war thrown in for good measure to accelerate proceedings. Most people will go along with all of it because they can't unplug and divert all their attention to the distractions going on, and really regret it later. A new age of feudalism will be foisted upon them that will look like a marriage between Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's "A Brave New World". Or maybe it's the reaction to that possibility that they are trying to usher in. One or the other... but nothing is coincidental for sure.

@Federberg This is worth a watch.



Rupert Lowe says the permanent secretaries run Britain. The cabinet has virtually no say in anything and it's more of a pantomime than anything else. Truss said this also, and Dominic Cummings who advised Johnson said the same thing too. Multiple sources of people who've been in a position to know. I've heard this kind of structure is similar in the US - permanent secretaries running the show. If this is true, then it shows "democracy" in the west in a very different light.

that's in line with recent experience, and let's face it Yes Prime Minister always made that point albeit cynically. I'll check out the podcast I've watched stuff on that channel before. Ta
