The Culture War Thread

Not even subtle satire and the NYT is on it like a BuzzFeed journalist on a listicle.

for anyone doing the slightest bit of verification "is this satire" it takes 1 click to look at his profile text and notice he doesn't list his pronouns

But “Imagine,” as beautiful as it sounds, has always disturbed me with its overtly anti-religion, unpatriotic recipe for "living life in peace."

And really, we don’t have to imagine this world. We’ve seen it. It’s called socialism.

Except for blatantly fascist countries, the majority of the world sees America as strongly right wing. It’s stunning to hear anybody describe America and having any kind of “lurch to the left” anytime in recent history. Obama was not a progressive. Hillary would not have been a progressive.

what seems strange about this though is how america has been leading the woke charge globally, paternalistically telling other cultures that they're doing things wrong, they're racist or sexist

media and games coming out of japan have too much skin and boob and get edited

games coming out of europe intentionally based in historical accuracy don't have enough diversity

americans criticize a fan artist for drawing a Colombian character too white, and people from that culture have to tell them to shut the fuck up because they don't care about that shit

endless mires of branding that has to be changed to remove minorities, phrasing minutia that has to be changed to remove the word "master," Mexicans being told they are Latinx and that's final, comedians and writers being ostracized for decade old jokes

this is all from the American left trying to push their views on everyone else

can you imagine any other country leading the charge on this?  France tries to tell the world they're not accepting enough of indigenous peoples?  Australia saying "shame on you for telling an off color joke?"

if the US is truly right-dominated, is there another way to classify this to argue that it's not actually coming from proper leftist ideals?

I'd say that shows it's a big country, and not a monolith. But surely that isn't a surprise to anyone.

It's just virtue signalling on an international scale

of course, but does that square with the rest of the world seeing the US as being overwhelmingly right compared to all of them?  when the US is the primary source of finger wagging and dictating to others how they're not left enough?

[Rufus]

It's because culture war side shows are not all too relevant.

From what i've observed the Australian feeling about the US is "it's complicated". There's so many high-profile nuts on both sides of politics that anyone's generalization of where America sits on a political spectrum is just as likely to be on one end as the other.

I appreciate this perspective

seems to me the most likely view of the US abroad is "whatever they are, whatever they're saying, it's loud and attempting to impose their culture/views on the rest of us who just want to live our lives"

I first voted in 2004 at 18. I believed in gay marriage even then before it gained mainstream traction. I now feel gay marriage should have never happened. Slippery slope is real and I think we should look for real ways to undo the harm it has caused our society. That lifestyle should never be made okayed by the state. Unfortunately you can't just take rights away once given it so it's a poop sandwich and we're all going to have to take a bite.

Yup. Doing great and liberals think anyone that disagrees with them is crazy. It's a projection and a way to mock. Mockery is liberals main weapon especially in numbers. It's also a way to discredit. I disagree with this person so they must be mentally ill.

[Uncle]

I dunno I allow for the possibility that it's one of those "global average temperature vs. number of pirates" things

maybe it was twitter that caused society to unravel





maybe society hasn't even unraveled and there are a bunch of people who want everyone to believe it has, because fear, uncertainty and doubt help bad actors accomplish subversive goals

I never forgot the Louis CK bit "everything's amazing and nobody's happy," because regardless of how things have changed since then it's still largely true, plenty of things are still great

but with the population and competition for attention as it is, we only make our voices heard when we can get others to believe we are struggling or injured somehow

[Himu]

It's not Twitter. It's gay marriage. It should have never have happened or condoned by the state. Twitter plays an element. I'll explain why.

You see, it's about social praxis.

After gay marriage happened, at the time, the question was "what next?" for the LGBTQ. Within the community there's multiple camps and the T community, which I was a part of, felt slighted by the LBG in how regularly they allowed trans agenda act as sacrificial lambs by the gays. So after marriage equality the T recognized it was our chance to make to make it about us. So we took control of the LGBTQ. We got louder. And with gay marriage being the main goal for many gays they had no real reason left for actvisim so they went to living normal lives and being perfectly normal people. They allowed us to take over. You can see this on many sites. Who is more prominent on Reset Era? Trans Era or Gay Era? See, gay era got their main reason for equality. They could move on. Trans has to gaslight all of society into thinking a man is a woman or a woman is a man which is harder to do than "my friend is in love!" In real life LGBTQ groups are now more geared towards T and Q than LGB. If you're gender non conforming well then you must be trans.

So because gay marriage was won, the depravity of transgenderism took over the movement. Trans are generally more snowflakes than gays because I mean, trans has to convince grandma to call them she. So because of that the trans is inherently more dogmatic because you have to go along with their narrative of gender acceptance. The pronouns, the bathroom, the sports, the whole shebang. Trans used social media to propagate all of this, including Twitter. By accepting gays society now has to accept trans but trans is far more reactionary, unwilling to take criticism, and extreme by the nature of its existence.

So this is how you get trans activists trying to convince society that it's cool to teach the same gender ideology I learned as an adult to 5 year olds. Because the normal ass gays left the house and gave the keys to the insane tenants.

[BIONIC]

[Himu]

I was just referring to this gender crap by the way. As for society itself social media and smart phones play a big part but also the dissolution of the American family and values and God. Corrupt orgs like Black Lives Matter said overly on their website their goal was to end the nuclear family and that they were Marxist in ideology. BLM has gotten millions in donations and are spending it like it's one big grift. And white people don't want to say anything because that would make them racist. What are you going to say, that black lives don't matter? This shields them from criticism as they gain from purple teet of black pain. Social media allows many cooks in a kitchen who, before social media took off, wouldn't have had a voice or would have had a much smaller one. But because of the way the internet is these voices sound louder than they really are and politicians (especially Democrats) mine this for clout. Hell it explains how Trump won. Do you think BLM (the org) would have survived in pre smartphone, pre social media america? Not a chance.

Notice all of this started happening around 2013-2014 when the smartphone became the norm. I guess we can just blame Steve Jobs. And now we have automation and AI coming. It's almost like progress doesn't really exist and humans always deem themselves better than their Creator so we keep churning and churning and churning because newer equals better right without ever considering the consequences because we have ape brains.

You see, it's about social praxis.

After interacial marriage happened, at the time, the question was "what next?" for the blacks. Within the community there's multiple camps and the black community, which I was a part of, felt slighted by the interacials in how regularly they allowed black agenda act as sacrificial lambs by the interacials. So after marriage equality the blacks recognized it was our chance to make to make it about us. So we took control of the racism. We got louder. And with interacial marriage being the main goal for many interacials they had no real reason left for actvisim so they went to living normal lives and being perfectly normal people. They allowed us to take over. You can see this on many sites. Who is more prominent on Reset Era? Black Era or interacial Era? See, interacial era got their main reason for equality. They could move on. Blacks has to gaslight all of society into thinking a black is a person or a person is a black which is harder to do than "my friend is in love!" In real life racial groups are now more geared towards black and brown than interacial. If you're color non conforming well then you must be black.

So because interacial marriage was won, the depravity of blackism took over the movement. Blacks are generally more snowflakes than whites because I mean, blacks has to convince grandma to call them . So because of that the black is inherently more dogmatic because you have to go along with their narrative of color acceptance. The rap, the basketball, the spices , the whole shebang. Black used social media to propagate all of this, including Twitter. By accepting interacial society now has to accept blacks but blacks is far more reactionary, unwilling to take criticism, and extreme by the nature of its existence.

So this is how you get black activists trying to convince society that it's cool to teach the same color ideology I learned as an adult to 5 year olds. Because the normal ass interacials left the house and gave the keys to the insane tenants.
