Seems like the whole world is dealing with the same problems

am a leftist.
Open borders will have the same result they had in the latest election in Sachsen-Anhalt.
Open borders was a yuge reason Trump was reelected.
I'm surprised you don't care about immigration policy.
 
Democracy. Trump's fascism. Trump stealing money from US Treasury. Congress doing nothing.
The open border disaster of a policy by Biden's handlers is a yuge reason Trump got elected again. Probably the biggest reason. Even the failing NYTimes has mentioned that.
But you don't care.
 
Mass immigration (Thank GOD, no more in the U.S.), deranged feminists, the LGBTQIA+ movement, declining birth rates, and Leftists who can't hold a conversation or get into a political debate without losing it.

Weird......it's almost like there's a playbook with underpinnings coming from the Communist Manifesto.
Not the communists, they will be eaten by Islam.
It's a numbers game.

Yes.....this has been well studied. This is also the biggest driver of the revolt against the Epstein Class in Europe....though I expect the Global recession/depression and famines to overtake open borders as the driver of revolt.

The constant wars is also going to be a problem for these fucks going forwards.
 
That the Epstein Class has been very clear that they are willing to sacrifice anything and everything in Europe to drive war against Russia is going to be a problem for them.
 
Herbert Marcuse was a German and American philosopher, social critic, and political theorist, associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. Born in Berlin, Marcuse studied at the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin and then at the University of Freiburg, where he received his PhD under the supervision of Martin Heidegger. He was a prominent figure in the Frankfurt-based Institute for Social Research, which later became known as the Frankfurt School. In his written works, he criticized capitalism, modern technology, Soviet Communism, and popular culture, arguing that they represent new forms of social control.


I've read “Repressive Tolerance” (1965) and One-Dimensional Man (1964).


Marcuse's work became the New Left’s operating manual they adopted after the industrial working class refused to revolt.


One-dimensional Man.

Marcuse observed that an advanced industrial society delivers comfort.

He saw that people tended to recognize themselves in their commodities. Critique was absorbed as a lifestyle.

He characterized this as “a comfortable, smooth, reasonable, democratic unfreedom.”

He determined that a leftist system does not need secret police to keep most people in line.

His conclusion was that a successful suborning of Western society needs controls on consumption, infiltration of administration, and the creation of a closed universe of discourse in which alternatives can be made to sound insane.

Those seem familiar, don't they?


Repressive tolerance


Marcuse said that tolerance — the concept of letting all sides speak freely — protects the existing order.


So, he taught the left's thought leaders that tolerance must become partisan:


“Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.”


He advocated for the withdrawal toleration of speech and assembly from the "wrong" side.


He said, stop “the words and images which feed this consciousness” at the point of entry — school, press, the academy. The student must “learn to think in the opposite direction” or he will slot facts into the old framework. Pattern recognition thus became racist, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, etc. as needed.


That is not a later distortion by woke HR. That is the text.


The DEI workshop, the speech code, the sneer at the long post on JPP, the claim that some speech is violence; those are Marcuse's ideas in action.


Tolerance becomes a single-edged weapon for leftists, not a principle for everyone.


The smashed piggy bank is recoded as righteous redistribution; dissent from the recoding is what must not be tolerated.


When property/family/nation/history/merit are “oppression,” even neutrality toward the old meanings is itself considered repressive by the leftist.


Liberating tolerance requires the new vocabulary to have a monopoly.


Newspeak. Orwell knew what he was writing about.

Exactly what Alice Weidel has been saying. And the AfD will get stronger.
I'm beginning to understand what you mean by the Epstein Class. They are doomed in Germany. Maybe France and G.B. will be next. But it may take a complete and total collapse for this to come about.

You really are a fascist.
 
Adorno and Horkheimer — the culture industry (Dialectic of Enlightenment, 1944/47)


Chapter title: “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception.”


Mass culture is not chaos and not art.


It is a factory. Film, radio, magazines, later television and the social media feed — standardized goods that train the consumer to want what is already on offer.


Pseudo-individuality: you get a slightly different flavor of the same product and call it a self.


The point is not only profit.


It is to make critical thought feel pointless. Amusement replaces reflection. The worker takes the system’s morality more seriously than the people who run it. Enlightenment, which was supposed to dissolve myth, becomes a new myth administered by the production team.


The slogans that fit on a protest sign are culture-industry output.


They feel like thought.


They are inventory. “Smash the patriarchy / decolonize / equity” are the current SKUs.


@Hume’s “I know no one who wants that” reads like the words of a man who has consumed the product and convinced himself that it is his own opinion.


Does not require a conspiracy in a basement. It requires a market for moral prestige and a set of institutions that manufacture the same moral object at scale.
