Ironic that "Expressive Individualism" is the chosen instrument to bring about Collectivism. It's so very Hegelian.

"Regardless of their doom, the little victims play..."

Mises, somewhat more directly, called them "useful idiots."

"Gender is a social construct" is pomo 101. It's downstream from Marx and Foucault. It's almost literally a fiat "science" that not only rejects reality but seeks actively to change it (in ways that it cannot be changed). Foucault said he wanted to destroy all logocentrism--once one understands what he actually meant by that, it's shocking.

There are men and there are women. There is such a thing as human nature--which means that essence precedes existence. The sooner we return to these ancient, basic truths the sooner our society begins to heal.

My goodness, they met, had conferences, held symposiums, have journals, they strategized--they own the public schools!--it's simply incredible that anyone could think "there's no agenda." I mean zero disrespect, fren, it's just not true. It's the same worldview driving the ESG agenda. Look into Alice Bailey and the Lucis Trust. It's all out in the open.

There absolutely is a "trans agenda" though most people "identifying" this way are not necessarily aware it. I'm not a Trumper nor "afraid" of these ideas. The Neo-Marxists and Postmodernists have merged, in a sense, in their attack on Western cultural hegemony, seeking Gramsci's "counter-hegemony" of leftism. It's explicit in their literature, and their literature has had enormous impact in the five areas specifically targeted by them: family, education, law, media, and entertainment. I'm talking about people like Marcuse, Horkheimer, Foucault, Derrida, Friere, Giroux, and then Kimberle Crenshaw and the rest of the Critical Theorists and their variants. For analysis, read the work of Philip Reiff, or Peter Jones, or Augusto del Noce, or even James Lindsay. Western culture is absolutely under attack--our territories have been occupied by a new "volk" -- they've even displayed their conquests by hoisting their own flag. Read their literature. It's not being done in secret or in a corner.

The rejection of reality behind this movement is characteristic of the gnostic roots of Marx and behind him to Hegel. There is little more loving than telling someone the truth--so let's skip the "bigoted hate speech" nonsense.

Ideas have consequences.

My Dad was very eclectic in his musical tastes. One day it was The Eagles, another Jazz, another big band, etc. I'll never forget when he bright me and my brothers out into the new (to us) Chevy Conversion van, with its impressive stereo sound, and we just sat there listening to Baroque music in the dark. It was truly transcendent to just bask in it. Music is a divine gift. 🤙🏼

The Era of Easy Money Ruined Us

https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-era-of-easy-money-ruined-us.html

The rot caused by easy money will only become fully visible when the hollowed out institutions start collapsing under the weight of incompetence…

The near-zero rate credit was distributed asymmetrically; only the wealthiest few had access to the open spigot of "free money." The rest of us saw mortgage rates decline, but we were still paying much higher rates of interest than corporations, banks and financiers.

If we'd all been given the opportunity to borrow a couple million dollars at 1% and put the easy money into bonds yielding 2.5%, skimming a low-risk 1.5% for producing nothing, we'd have jumped on it. But that opportunity was only available to banks, the super-wealthy, corporations and financiers.

Remember ZIRP and NIRP? 😂

The mainstreaming economists actually argued for it 😂
