  • Douglas Murray shows how the people who are always in favour of the latest woke doctrine are the same people who wanted to bring down Western Capitalism in days gone by. Unregenerate Marxists. You'll find plenty of them in the academy according to Douglas.

      trumps insane base 1) he is not censored and most commentators are - surely you know this? 2) and Islam has not taken out a fatwah on him. He is controlled opposition in some respects. DM Sam Harris, and the Jew Pinkerton. All so awfully nice. But as a country and the west as a whole is getting fucked. Being nice won’t work. Purple pros won’t stop Islam. He just makes liberals feel like they are doing something. It’s like netting fog. 16 Muslim police in Yorkshire were charged with fucking children. Did you see that? 2 days ago an 11 year old whose mother died and was taken into care was fucked 500 times by Muslims. I could go on. Being nice won’t work. They ALL need to be deported. According to MI5 they are monitoring 28,000 budding terrorists in the UK. The Dutch army is 21,000! We have a 5th column in our country. I think we have a VERY BIG PROBLEM. Writing books and giving cosy fire-side chats will do what...exactly? Hope that speck of data helps. All the best...

      Anybody using the term cultural marxism is a shill, a Social engineer , the so called left that has been engineered by the USA and west are anything but left, At the beginning, immigration was a phenomenon linked to big business. It still continues to be that way. Those who clamor for always more immigration are big companies. This immigration is in accordance with the very spirit of capitalism, which aims at the erasure of borders (« laissez faire, laissez passer »). “While obeying the logic of social dumping, Balssa continues, a “low cost” labor market has thus been created with the “undocumented” and the “low-skilled,” functioning as stopgap “jack of all trades.” Thus, big business has reached its hand to the far-left, the former aiming at dismantling of the welfare state, considered to be too costly, the latter killing off the nation-state considered to be too archaic.” This is the reason why the French Communist Part (PCF) and the French Trade Union (CGT) (which have radically changed since then) had, until 1981, battled against the liberal principle of open borders, in the name of the defense of the working class interests. Alain De Benoist

      ​@joe buffalo marxism is an ideology whose central strategy is to divide and conquer. It promises a utopia - a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that can never be reached. But ignorant and gullible people - useful idiots - are easily convinced, seduced, decieved, fooled, persuaded, and thusly gradually mind-conditioned aka brain-washed to believe and behave as marxist-reactionaries aka pavlovian dogs. Marxism tried and failed to destroy free market capitalism and its attendant political cohort democratic-republicanism aka majority rule through expressed and representative rule of a populace, by dividing classes aka class-warfare. Its antecedent response to its failure wasnt to analyze itself and admit that marxism is a fundementally flawed and bankrupt ideology, a fantasy built on myriad lie upon lie, whose economic suppositions, and presuppositions are thoroughly false, wrong, and only spiral down with impoverishment, destruction, and mass-murder. Cultural-marxism was the adaptation pitting identity groups and alignments of groups to again attack the existing social structure of western-civilization in order to destroy it and bring in the fantasy utopia- a much better society/civilization in all respects. CM is marxism, a cult built on lies, very complex ideology , seductive, that has proven very very good at destruction and destroying its targets. But instead of heaven it CA ONLY DELIVER hell. Ussr, cuba, vz, chinese dictators, gulags, genocide, mass murder, death, torture, destruction, starvation, imprisonment to control, etc, is all that marxism has ever or can ever deliver. Which is precisely why marxists of any brand must be fought and defeated at all costs. Marxist are serious, will never stop aka admit truth, and cannot be easily changed in their minds. They will either destroy you or you will destroy them. Its ultimately a death cult- or satanic tool- only rivaled by the other equally big lie tool called islum.

    You hit the nail on the head!
    Bureaucracy rules academia, but not only at the university level.
    It permeates all levels of education.
    One teacher trying to teach 30 plus children in a public school is common .
    But, there are dozens of people in things like curriculum committees, and focus groups on any and every peripheral subject under the sun.
    There are special interest lobbying, for their agendas ( lgbtq , alternative sexuality,racial equality, economic disparities,environmental issues,women’s rights, etc. etc.) which should have NO part in children’s education.
    This is a big problem.
    Case in point, my son was assessed to have a ‘ learning disability ‘. My husband and I were invited to have a meeting with a committee to draw up an “ individual learning plan” for him.
    There were no less then 15 people there from various “special committees “ present at the meeting.
    We received reams of paper work outlining their plans.
    In the end, there were no teachers in the school to implement any of these strategies, and we never had any meetings with actual teachers.
    The only benefit that he got from all of their strategizing was to get extra time to complete tests.
    What a waste of time, effort and resources!
    But, in the end, if bureaucracy determines where resources are to be allocated, they will inevitably serve themselves, and not the institution that they are supposed to serve.
    Aristotle once said ‘ give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man ‘
    The question is, what sort of man are these institutions trying to produce?

    is used to divide, disrupt, and cause chaos in society and government to create
    an environment for change. That change is the “fundamental transformation”
    which is the replacement of Capitalism with some form of Marxist system.

I was met by a cult of anti science, morally bankrupt mental gymnasts the likes I've never met before, and the professors were the worst. I mean I had never been to a university before and my general knowledge was often superior to most of theirs. I dropped out after attending some time out of curiosity and of course because I couldn't resist antagonizing them just by questioning their claims.

    ANOTHER OFF TOPIC: I wish someone from an agricultural background and with an understanding of climate science, as opposed to climate alarmism, would speak up, if not for Morrison, but Australia on the bush fire crisis. Piers Morgan is giving us a pasting in the international press and we seem to be allowing it. The crisis, its causes and its consequences must be sensed and communicated to Piers before his anti-PM, anti-Australia and climate change rhetoric damages our reputation.

    As one who spent some time as an "academic" [albeit in science, but able to observe the Humanities etc] I can certainly testify to Douglas Murrays' comment that they are "not the bravest people in the world", and add to it: sadly, without wishing to be offensive, I have to say that today, they are also not the brightest people in the world. Universities have become downgraded to an appalling degree compared to what they were for hundreds of years; places of highest education and learning for the very intelligent. Now they trade schools for basic training if that; [no criticial thinking, ancient histories, philosophies and psychology with Natural History are included], coupled with breeding grounds for "useful idiots". Most Liberal Arts / Humanities academics across the Anglo-empire world are often of marginal ability - and again, like the mass of people they are part of, never having formed a sense of National Identity in youth leading to personalised self identity as they form. They are able to grasp one idea, one set of teaching, and like a train on tracks, they can chugg along that line. It becomes their identity, and they never question it, since to do so is to question their own existence, but instead turn it into a cult. They have their high priests / priestesses; Holy Writ, and Dogma. And Gold help any who are "heretics" and challenge it. Thus, as did the Catholic Religion for years, they are now ruling and ruining the cultures they sprang from.

    The point that "the Working Classes have always let us down!" by the Communists, Marxists and Anarchists is supremely well-made. And the proof of the passing was the 2019 British General Election. Because the Communists, Marxists and Anarchists (especially the dim ones who teach!) neglect one factor: that most people LOVE their Country and are patriotic: particularly among the Working Classes and the Upper Classes. The ones who do not are the Middle Classes - the 'Managerial Classes' - found in the C ivil Service, local Hospitals and Schools, the Police, Armed Forces and Judiciary. These are the people of 'Identity Politics' and 'Intersectionality'. And they are not nice people! They are censorious, puritanical, judgmental, and embittered.

To deconstruct something in common parlance means to rip a thing apart to its constituent elements, but for very self-important semantic jugglers at universities it means a specific form of literary and philosophical criticism.
