@ChateauEmissary the cultural left did a march through the institutions in the 20th century. The #alt-right will do a troll through in 21st.

Follow the argument to its conclusion. Question everything. Be bold. Think deeper. Am I insane or is the world around me?

In 2021, Canadian media and institutions basically hallucinated the discovery of 215 children’s bodies in a mass grave near a former Catholic residential school. The evidence: radar saw soil disturbances that could have been tree roots. A wave of church arsons ensued.
People making the case for censorship often urge that destructive manias like this can be suppressed/soothed if we prevent people from communicating about them. And here was a perfect case: false information was being recklessly (or maliciously) amplified, leading to literal hate crimes. Shouldn’t the censors do something?
But the mass-grave craze infected the censorship class, so opposition got targeted instead. At least one “disinformation” NGO categorized skepticism as “hate speech,” and Canada even saw efforts to criminalize so-called “denialism” (drawing an absurd comparison to the Holocaust).
Good for the Globe and Mail to come clean.
Jonathan Kay@jonkay
Wow. The editorial board of the Globe & Mail just flat out admitted that it screwed up by failing to scrutinize the false 2021 claims that “unmarked graves” had been “confirmed” at Kamloops. It’s taken five years, which is a disgrace, but give them credit for finally saying it

Capping voting age at 65 or restricting suffrage to net-taxpayers will probably be necessary at some point to prevent pensioners from completely crushing workers & businessmen (by their nature 18-65). Inverted age pyramids were not something contemplated by democracy theorists.

You can tell a SNAP recipient to eat rice and beans. You can’t tell a net contributor taxpayer to just eat rice and beans. These are mammoth hunting first principles and resource allocation at play here

Well yes, the left declared war on beauty because it is by its very nature hierarchical
Beauty is not particularly relative, it is not equal, it is not a reflection of "tolerance" or "equity"
It is a physical manifestation of excellence, and so the egalitarian left hates it
Naturally, those women who don't want to have to make themselves ugly in the name of equality are gradually drifting to the right in a general sort of way, not out of any care for most of the policies, but because the left is increasingly both aesthetically gross and morally opposed to anything that is not aesthetically disgusting

Not so long ago, the stock image of someone from the far-Right was easily summoned: they’d be male, obviously, and very probably bald, and questionable tattoos. The face of the far-Right, it seems, is changing – and it’s becoming a good deal prettier ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/1…

The whole conservative industry, pundits to politicians to audience, depends on not understanding that these outlets are organs of power—“businesses” only in name.
If they understood this, they would also understand that they cannot win—not with the product they are selling
Helen Andrews@herandrews
Unfortunately, if your magazine is in a position to determine the boundaries of respectable discourse and what facts and ideas are allowed into the mainstream, then that is a very valuable thing and you will never lack for financial support even if your readers are asleep.

You have to understand that this is the way a communist thinks about lying.
Any idea that political mendacity is wrong has vanished from his soul. Trying to shame him is like expecting a junkie to have moral compunctions about shoplifting

A man's value is not merely material. There are metaphysical qualities to "Kingliness" and The Odyssey defines them well. Things like dignity and honour are not measured easily as height and income, and yet they play a significant role in a man's value. And nothing degrades a man's dignity and dishonours him so deeply as marrying a hoe.
Winston Smith@crim_thought
@megha_lilly Not true. If a hoe, promiscuous woman or even outright prostitute/porn actress gets married to a man who is tall, handsome, rich and spoils her and even gives her kids, she married a high value man. Just because the man married a low value woman, doesn't mean he was low value!

The whole blended family thing isn’t great for children. But divorce ends up being good for the man far more often than for the woman. Men remarry sooner, and at higher rates, and usually to a younger wife with whom they are more likely to have more children. They achieve higher earnings post-divorce, too.
I’ve seen men who were held back by bad wives, and divorce freed them of that burden. It’s ironic, because most divorces are initiated by women. But that just goes to show that they are the more irrational sex and often are not capable of managing their own affairs to their own benefit. Which would explain why prior generations did not let them make such decisions.
Charles@wotancore
Marriage is a bad deal for men under all circumstances short of ownership over wife and children. Status quo not only permits no fault divorce, but considers it an inalienable right to introduce "step-parents" into children's lives. You have no legal defence to object to this.

We live in such a ruthless, uncritical gynocracy that even the realization that the human race is going to go extinct because women hate men that have been artificially marginalized can't summon any other response than "we clearly haven't crushed men enough".
More Births@MoreBirths
But instead of arguing for a return of social norms around marriage, the authors say that the solution to the fertility crisis lies in "further marginalization of men" (yes, that's in the title!) and getting single women to have more kids. Does that seem likely to work? 5/5

Viktor Orban didn’t cancel any elections and never arrested people for social media posts. He also stepped down after his election loss and is partaking in a peaceful transfer of power.
But, don’t forget, he was a dictator.
Keir Starmer attempted to cancel about 1,000 local council elections next month and arrests about 12,000 people a year for social media posts. He also refused to let a rival run for a seat in a by-election because he was worried it would be a threat to his leadership.
But, don’t forget, he’s a democratic leader.

Strikingly, young women are *a lot* more negative about the opposite gender than young men.
✴️U30 women are 3x as likely to hold a negative view of young men than the other way around
✴️Just 35% of u25 women hold a positive view, only 11% a very positive view

We were told we had to let in migrants to pay for our aging populations
But it turns out the migrants are net drains on our societies
So now we have to raise the retirement age on our aging populations to pay for the migrants

Woke era really created the worst set of sexual mores possible where obnoxious license was made obligatory as long as it was sufficiently disgusting and heterosexuality was outlawed. You were forced to clap at drag queen daycare and chopping off child genitals but start one measly bdsm sex cult where you are branding bitches with hot steel and everyone loses their minds.
NXIVM did NOTHING wrong besides live the American dream the way the founders would have intended if they even thought of that shit first. MeToo made college kids afraid to do drunk hookups and rock stars afraid to bring girls on their tour bus. Wtf is the point of having a degenerate society if you are going to ban all the normal sex that is actually good?
You really can't trust women with anything, especially the notions of consent and safety. If you want to be safe and consent to things you are better off dead, because nothing in this world worth a hoot involves either of those. Consent is only enjoyable if you're brainwashed into it despite your best intentions. A sobbing heap on the floor wondering how it all came to this. How this could have happened.
It's called life, bitch. It happens like shit does. To you its a tragedy but to me it's just a statistic. Now if you don't want your next performance to be posting face on the side of a milk carton, it's time to put on your game one on right now. You got a dirty job to do, and I'M certainly not gonna do it. So guess what? That's leaves you. Hallelujah, praise God.

"Hard right" or "far right" simply means that they are skeptical of mass immigration into Europe.
If you don't want extreme and unprecedented mass immigration of very different peoples into your countries, that is called "far right".
But these are obviously normal views, and are indeed shared by a large share of the population. Just not so much within the media who come up with these terms.
In a more sensible world it would instead be all the other parties, those that support continued mass immigration, that should be called far left, or mass immigration extremists.
Ben Judah@b_judah
A debate worth having: to what extent is this Hard Right surge the result of a flawed taxonomy? If your “hard right” European political party has accepted EU membership, the Euro, LGBTQI+ rights and renounced racialism and antisemitism — how is it not simply a conservative party by 1990s standards?

Big picture summary: Boomers were the biggest generation ever but chose to have 1.5 kids rather than the 3.5 kids needed to support them in old age so they replaced the missing kids with random people from around the Third World and it is going about as well as you would expect.

I lived in Hungary for several years under the Orbán dictatorship.
The funny thing was, people could and did say whatever came into their heads, protests were held in front of the parliament, there was a gay cruise bar down the road and Orbán held elections.
And yet, the country was a dictatorship.
Whereas in the UK, people tend to be distinctly guarded and if they do say the wrong thing very publicly, they get locked up.
And yet, it's a free country.
Once you understand that words can mean whatever we want them to mean, it begins to make sense.

One of the reasons for the rightward shift in politics is that as we become a post-literate society and the image becomes primary, the content of the political argument becomes visual and moves beyond the socially received consensus that left-wing politics depends on.
Images tend to be reactionary, appealing to aesthetics or provoking disgust. These more primitive feelings tend to be reactionary.
The basis for “the left can’t meme” observation. The left can’t meme because their thought eschews the aesthetic, which makes them weaker in the age of the image.
