The post-modernists are a huge influence on what you might describe as âWokeâ philosophy & some of the biggest names in post-modernism signed this petition

In the 1970s in the aftermath of 1968 & the âliberationistâ politics of the Soixante-Huitards stuff like this was not only tolerated but actively encouraged in places like Berlin https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/berlin-to-compensate-victims-of-paedophile-foster-scheme-mnw5bsx35

Mary Whitehouse is seen as a dreadful reactionary these days but she was on to these people whereas many a progressive turned a blind eye https://twitter.com/s8mb/status/1214535153265065984?s=20
But ofc the sexualisation of children could never be actively promoted these days! Dont be silly! https://twitter.com/PinkNews/status/1255210927026208768?s=20
Yep, Im worrying about nowt https://nationalfile.com/drag-queen-accidentally-flashes-children-at-story-hour-event/
It says a lot about âprogressiveâ politics that Meghan Murphy has been âcancelledâ but Peter Tatchell hasnt. Priorities.

It was Mary Whitehouse who fought against the mainstreaming of PIE back in the 1970s & it will be ppl deemed to be dreadful back-ward reactionaries today who will be the ones to push back against this kind of pernicious nonsense bc most âprogressivesâ are cowards quite frankly.
Most âprogressivesâ would rather girls were mass-raped by gangs of Asian men up/down the country for over 2 decades than be described as racist & most would rather the creeping sexualisation of children occurs under the guise of âQueer Theoryâ than be described as a âtransphobeâ
& most progressives would rather ignore the mountain of evidence pointing towards the fact children need their biological mothers & fathers in favour of a laissez-faire approach to family structure lest be accused of being a dreadful misogynist & reactionary who hates women.
Most âprogressivesâ are cowards & conformists more interested in their own social standing than actually doing something that would help the most vulnerable in our society. Lets be brutally honest about that.
Absolutely not
The thing that holds âprogressiveâ politics together is signalling. There is no real material basis to progressivism. Being concerned about what other ppl think about you, which is enmeshed with status-anxiety, is the name of the game, IS the game. Its a house of cards basically.
Which is why they will ignore anything that might get them labelled as a âcontrarian,â or a âhomophobe,â âtransphobe,â âsexist,â âracist,â âxenophobeâ etc. These words are like whistles used by a shepherd to herd his sheep back into their pen.
The pen is a safe space and brings forth a feeling of safety & security but its a false sense of safety & security because outside that pen the wolves are gathering & now no one is watching them.
I encourage you to venture outside of your pen & risk being labelled a âcontrarianâ as I have. If you do actually care about the most vulnerable in our society there will be times when you will be falsely accused of all kinds of things. Thats just summat you will have to accept.
These are the same people btw who will ignore the mountain of evidence that the legalisation of Cannabis would be an absolute disaster from a mental health POV bc to do would impact on their social standing/status. Being anti-Cannabis legalisation is to hold a low-status opinion.
If you were to agree with the likes of me then you are signalling to others that you are a dreadful reactionary and quite possibly a racist bc everybody knows that the âwar on drugs (what war on drugs?!) is driven by racism or some such bollox.
What is important is to, at all times, signal that you are a high-status person via your display of high-status beliefs/opinions. Thats more important than actually helping the most vulnerable in our society. https://quillette.com/2019/11/16/thorstein-veblens-theory-of-the-leisure-class-a-status-update/
Rob Henderson is great. One of my favourite people on Twitter. https://nypost.com/2019/08/17/luxury-beliefs-are-the-latest-status-symbol-for-rich-americans/
I think this type of thing is driven by the rise of singletons & the decline of marriage. Ppl are getting married later & later & less & less. This status/virtue signalling that Im talking about is a function of the ever-expanding dating market.
High-status opinions/beliefs are a form of currency in the dating economy https://twitter.com/ImHardcory/status/1279056476833755136?s=20
A guy like me, who is married off to a beautiful women - Im proper punching above my weight btw - & two beautiful kids in tow doesnt need to worry about all that sh!te. I can voice all kinds of heretical opinions by virtue off being being off this market.
i.e marriage & children are not restrictions, they are liberators, rightly viewed.
By virtue of being married with kids I can truly be myself. Thats liberating. Its not inhibiting. That needs to be emphasised.
