Why do cultural events feel like they’re accelerating at such a face-melting rate? Everywhere we turn around us, cultural norms are being obliterated by the week, inroads being made towards ‘new normals’ we couldn’t have even imagined just last year alone. Maybe there’s something to be said for the amplifying effect of echo-chambers and the way they can wrinkle reality for people who are a little too plugged into social media and other sewer-like conduits for the cultural sickness.
Let them watch their executions, and kill their Christ, don't react, preserve energy so that we can bring our Christ to the garden, and our families each morning. E.g. I have weeding to do, and too busy to check what crappy clothes target is selling. FYI stock up on brain! food that's loaded with DHA: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/the-best-brainfood
1. Advertisers and retailers cannot win. If they cave to LGTBQXYZPDQ, the rest of the world abandons them. If they don't, they get roasted as bigots. If they try to backtrack, they get it from both [sides].
2. Am I truly the only cat who finds it ironic that the working woke definition of "woman" appears to be "anyone who does womanly things" and the definition of man "anyone who does manly things"?
So much less confusing to be a cat. Queens are queens and toms are toms.
3. Apparently, not respecting pronouns is the worst possible crime.
The US default is a fraud perpetrated by the uniparty so it can raise spending while claiming to have cut it. Totally expected, and honestly not a real story.
I have to laugh at the so-called "tuck friendly for kids" thing. It's obvious that those swimsuits weren't part of the kid's line, and this is confirmed by Target.
"The swimsuit shown in the video is listed on Target’s website as a "Pride Adult One Piece Colorblock Swimsuit." The adult sizes for the swimsuit range from extra-small to 4X."
You've probably also seen that AI-generated picture of Jeffrey Epstein with the young boys, one of whom looks suspiciously like Epstein. People are trying to pass it off as real, and even when the dude who initially posted it to Instagram was contacted and asked if he knew it was fake, he said yes, but it didn't matter because the "message" was what counts.
Personally I'm fed up with the ongoing Culture Wars that have been with us since the 60s, always morphing, but always here.
Interesting that you bring Lucifer into play. He is of course the 'fallen angel' who was with god until rebelled, wanting to be god-like in hell. So he has some glamour, especially in paintings, whereas Satan isn't. In the Bible Satan is given a description, a name which shows the ignorance of those who 'celebrate' him: "The Great Deceiver". And that's what this is about, in essence: deception and deflection. Have corporate America use the LBT-and-the-rest of the alphabet as cheap advertisement to deflect from the dire economic reality. Have the antisocial meejah erupt in one hysteria after the other, occupying public discourse to deceive the unfortunates forced to participate with theatre and baubles instead of reality.
I don't know where we are on the trajectory of the destruction of western society. I've decided to adopt a saying by Martin Luther, the German reformator: "And even if I knew that the world were to perish tomorrow - today I would still plant my little apple tree." ... I've planted more roses ...
I see you have a little Hannibal Lector in you too Simplicius. Quite astute at psychoanalysis. It’s helpful to delve into this subject that you explored in this piece. It can be so confusing for some of us trying so hard to understand what is happening to our country. I particularly like the indigenous people analogy. Now all we need is a plan to combat it in the most effective terms. The boycotts are a good start.
The problem with the above article is the constant use of "Christianity".
"Christianity" is itself THE Luciferian vehicle. Christianity brought "Satanism" WITH it, - there is no "Satan" in Pagandom. Satan is a Christian 'diety'. Satan, as Xianity's 'Shadow', is what Christianity REALLY IS.
The idea that "Christianity will Save you", when ALL you are doing is re-confirming the 1700yr psyop by Roman Elites to continue their inhuman Empire, by other means.
Is batshit.
The ONLY WAY that "Christianity can Save You" is by joining an Amish comunity, or renouncing all material goods and becoming a Monk. Otherwise, you're just LARPing, or worse.
So-called "Christianity" IS AT THE VERY ROOT of why Western culture has headed into this entirely dead-end.
The fag-end of the Roman Empire, and it was Rome that fucked peaceful, wealthy and scientifically advanced Europe up. [See 'Barbarians!', by Python Terry Jones.]
Calling for Xianity is JUST wailing for your childhood blanket, to give emotional comfort in troubled times.
Admittedly, it's still better than the brain-dead Atheism, which fulfills the same role for Materialists.
BTW, one last plaint - WT ABSOLUTE *F*, ARE THESE SUPPOSED "AMERICAN LEFT"???
Don't you have ANY IDEA how fucking ridiculous you sound to claim that neo-feudal, greed-obsessed, anti-democratic, Oligarchic CORPORATE LEADERS are somehow "left wing"??????
Simplicious, I enormously admire your politics blog, since anti-empire went down you are literally my sole source for SMO info.
Now, on WHAT PLANET are Corporate Executive Sociopaths, somehow "Left Wing"?
Do they support unionisation?
Do they support higher workers wages?
Do they support better working conditions?
Do they think the Ultra-wealthy should pay a higher % in tax than their cleaners?
Do I think Marx, and Lenin, and Trotsky, and Castro, and Mao, and Gadhaffi - do I think they all defined their "leftism" by how many rainbow colours and Gay-friendly messaging they created? FFS.
Mate, YOUR mind is being colonised here, to equate the"left" with Corporate rebrandings.
Sure, its all simply wrapped up in a Manichaen Simplicity, Good over here, and Evil over there.
Don't have to THINK, anymore. Just pick a team.
They are NOT "Left".
They are economically/fiscally hard right-wing, with pretentions of social liberalism.
Opposing them are the economically/fiscally hard right-wing, with undoubted Reactionary policies.
"Left of the Republicans" when pretty much every EU far-RIGHT Party is to the LEFT of the US Demonrat Party, doesn't make any sense.
The USA is a Fascist State. Not Left, not Communist, not Liberal, FASCIST.
You can run to braindead Christo-fascism if you want, but I think there are many better ways forward than THAT.
You'll just be herding yourself back into their Age-old mental trap, and frankly, that Eon, that Era, has come to its natural end.
The 2000 years of the Piscean Fishermen has come to an end. And it wouldn't have been 10% as bad as it was without so-called "Roman Christianity" ruining it.
Perhaps it’s an attack on the working class, as it seems to be directed towards the products and consumables they traditionally purchase. Furthermore, most trans / woke types I’ve met, happen to be privately educated upper middle class types.
Even the slur of ‘far right’ is an attack on the working class, as they embody the traditional values the trans / woke deplore.
Regardless, like any pop cultural hysteria - remember satanic panic? - it’ll burn itself out and eat it’s own. The problem is, it’ll take the kids with them.
If there is to be a nuclear war, or the economy collapse, and we enter into a great depression like our parents did in the 1930s, then it will be interesting to see what happens when the people get hungry. When law and order basically cease to exist and the welfare stops, we will see an "open season" on those who have caused this. The politicians will need more than sat phones to keep from being eaten.
I read that there can be no debt default, because the government takes in billions of dollars in taxes each month and has enough money to pay interest and government pensions. It also has enough to pay individuals what they are entitled to. What it will not have without borrowing, is money for everything else. Therefore, the term debt default is just ignorance or propaganda.
The real issue today is the economy and the fact that the rich just keep get richer and the rest are worse off. The worse off carry about $1 trillion in credit card debt and pay about $200 billion a year to the super rich in interest. The wealth are the parasites and the rest are the hosts. This is just one example how all wealth is being sucked from working people.
The sexual perversion we are experiencing is a way to destroy ordinary people after all their money has been squeezed out of them. Anyone who falls for this sexual nonsense will at some point realize that they have ruined their life, and there is no getting a second life to do things right. The elite, of course, could care less, because they are for the most part not going to drink there own poison.
For those of us who didn't fit in the box, one way or another, the essence of being fringe, is being fringe. Trying to make it mainstream is "selling out."
These poor dumb sexually ambiguous are like Ukrainians, pawns in some culture war.
There really isn't any strategy here. The system is crashing and everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. No sense in fighting it, unless it's actually being shoved in your face, then find some way to leverage it back, because actual logic isn't going to work.
Keep in mind, Donald Trump is the Great White Whale for these plastic people. Bullshit apparently beats bullshit. It will crash and burn and the ones surviving will be a lot more down to earth. Literally.
The ruling classes have always used our sexuality to control the masses. The same with violence and like the crazy expressions of sexuality become a matter of one downmanship the violence portrayed just keeps getting more gross for titalation. France was the last western country to try and hold out against amerikan popular culture? and of course, National treatment of capital. They failed. It's not just Russia that's divorcing from the western, read amerikan sick pseudo culture, thankfully the east and global south want nothing of the sickness now becoming omnipresent in the western world. What's the reason the ruling classes are behind this, I have no idea but I know whatever it is, it's not in my best interest or the best interests of normal family life which has been taken from the working classes already and now they're working on the middle classes. I suppose it's the degeneracy of late stage empires but it sure is sick. They've emasculated virtually the entire population of the US and to a slightly lesser degree in Europe. Just imagine that the US blows the German pipeline and Shultz flies across the ocean to blow Biden. You can't make this stuff up!

What you feed, grows . They are trolls. Don't feed the trolls!
Motus in fine velocilior, Simplicius. But I must confess your description is beautiful, even linguistically.

It would be interesting to know if anyone shorted stocks on Budweiser, North Face, Target or Ford just before they 'came out'
