The idea to dismantle "our" sense of permanence. This is being done so that "their" sense of permanence will be protected from "us" in perpetuity.

Intimidation requires moral courage and moral courage requires a belief in eternal truths and they in turn require acknowledgement of a Divine dimension. Therefore a secular society, no matter how rational, cannot combat rampant secular insanity, which lords it over us all today.
The culture war, as presented here, is a jobs program for cranks who show up for the purpose of reminding angry people to stay angry. That is the solution presented at every turn: Be insulted, feel self-righteous, imagine you have the answers. But there are other ways: Get out and meet people who aren't exactly like you and you may find that there are other problems that hadn't occurred to you. In times like these, facing that takes courage. I write this respectfully.

I’m sorry sir but you are not being fair, conservatives have been vilified in all sorts of ways for multiple decades. Just as an example of what was done to them, Hollywood portrayed them in disparaging roles in movies. Every time we would talk about a conservative we subconsciously thought of the dueling banjo song or how whole towns were racists, on and on and on. They were always the bad guy just like the naz!s. Hollywood did a horrible number on our psyches, and most will say that they were just stories and not reality but when generations of people growing up always seeing the same “villains” on tv, it takes its toll and soon becomes history to them especially immigrants that don’t necessarily know the true American history. They have been shamed and bullied into silence and now today they are being accused of being cowards, well I lay that at the feet of all those countless story tellers and movie makers that formed what America is today. These people have been shamed by being called racists now they are being blamed for being lazy cowards. You are demanding that they fix your mess.
So when the notion of conservative or conservatism comes to mind, we subconsciously think of dueling banjos? And Americans know American history? Here's a fact for you: The US death toll in WWII was about 420,000. Total Russian deaths numbered about 20,000,000, split about 50/50 between military and civilian. I doubt many Americans know these statistics. Germany lost because the Russians wore them out on the battlefield while the US was busy saving private Ryan. Hollywood told us that story. Many Americans are woefully ignorant about our history. And they aren't so clear about what's happening in the present either because they are so busy celebrating themselves for being so smart, brave, patriotic and fair-minded. And nobody is supposed to speak up and give you the bad news that you have a lot of work to do when it comes to understanding your own country. And when you are faced with hard truths you say love it or leave it. Respectfully.
Conservatives should act as the brakes so we don't change too fast. But change is inevitable. Ever heard of Darwin? We can't go back to what was. Conservatives should guide mankind not to replace one evil with another by going too fast to recognize the safe way forward. This guy is too conservative.
Does physics have a culture? Can physics care about culture? Can humans escape from physics? So any, so called, culture that cannot deal with physics is pretty stupid. Can you build a 1400 ft skyscraper without figuring out how to distribute the steel? Can you analyze the straight down collapse of a skyscraper without knowing the distribution of steel? It is really funny that even the scientists and engineers at NASA have not asked about that. But skyscrapers are not rocket science though the Empire State Building was completed 38 years before the Moon landing. The Twin Towers Affair should be more famous than The Galileo Affair. But that involved Christians too. LOL If you are going to tell a lie, tell a Big Lie. What culture is that from?

I'm against woke-ism but neither the nation state nor democracy define Europe or European culture. This position is historically inaccurate. Greece was not a popular democracy, and Europe was never democratic in the current sense until recently. Even the Polish anarchy was not a popular democracy but was defined by the liberum veto of the Polish gentry. To return to European political system is to return to DECENTRALISATION. The Israeli state is no better than Hamas, but if that's what Jews want it's their prerogative.
Democracy is not a people's one but national, if it is supported by the majority of voters. It is that simple. The Polish method was suitable for suppressing national forces. The current one is the same. Start from the Hungarian method. If the nation-state is strong, who is against it?
@@belagarzo63 The nation state is STATISM. Everything in Europe got WORSE since the creation of the nation state: more wars, more taxes, state schooling, more controls. What is good about the state? Without nationalism the state is weak and that is a GOOD thing.
@@harrying882 Every thinking person condemns the Hamas terrorist atrocities which took place on Israeli soil on October 7th. But two wrongs do not make a right. Israel has forfeited the moral high ground with its massacre of civilians in Gaza . . .
Sorry, Frank, I think you are misrepresenting the liberal point of view on the Israel/Palestine/Hamas question. Every thinking person condemns the Hamas terrorist atrocities which took place on Israeli soil on October 7th. But two wrongs do not make a right. Israel has forfeited the moral high ground with its massacre of civilians in Gaza . . .
I agree that the vast majority of people who are against Israel’s prosecution of the war are also vehemently against the initial attack by Hamas. Society hasn’t degenerated that far. But there certainly is a strain on the left - mostly still isolated to campuses - that actively supports the actions of Hamas. I was a student on one of the elite liberal campuses when the attack happened, and I heard plenty of statements in support of Hamas. The general idea being that Israel is a “settler colonial apartheid state.” So any actions resisting Israel - even violent actions - are morally justified.
It is always worth listening to Frank.
Nice one Frank Furedi. We all need to wake up.
Thank you Mr. Furedi !

Frank was Trot in the Revolutionary Communist Party. Google it
People change.
So was Peter Hitchens. Some people grow up.
Why is a Revolutionary Communist who specialised on the UK’s war against the Mau Mau speaking at a “Far Right” event?
Why not?
He has tempered his views now, he realises that the libertarian is far too extreme and warped out of reality. These people are too biased and a danger to themselves and others.
Perhaps because it is a convention to discuss how to conserve the best that we have, protect it, refine it and better it where needed?
