funny how hearing one thing brings back another.
clarence thomas, that's right. suddenly sexual harassment was everywhere. and suddenly i also remember how the media was so delicati that they used the british pronouncement of 'harassment' so it wouldn't sound like 'her-ass-ment'?
that's when everybody started having to go through the sexual harsssment training and learn aaaaall the ways men were bad and created hostile work environments...
hair-uss-ment. i had forgotten that one. and 'womyn', i swear that this was getting a big media boost then too.
they were canceling cartoons too. 1997 is when they put general halftrack through sensitivity training.
rush was talking about the pc police then too, i think. a lot of people liked him back then, sometimes they laughed at his humor even if they didn't agree with him.
ohhhh and the 'recovered memories' of sexual abuse. that was a 90s thing too wasn't it.
keep mentioning things you remember, i want to see what else gets jogged loose...
i see a lot of positive memories of the 90s here. this is good, for a reason i will get back to later.
because just now i want to remind everyone that the 90s were absolutely completely rife with politically correct, horrible philosophy.
in fact, i would say the 1990s were when the seeds for 2021 woke nazi culture was planted in the minds of those who are driving it now.
if you were old enough and had eyes to see it, the propaganda was everywhere and it was aimed at conditioning the parents and teachers into being the unwitting midwives of this cultural monster that we see all around us today.
'murphy brown' remember? people laughed, but looking back there it is. normalization and normalization and normalization and it was subtle. every sitcom has an episode that oh so gently pushes 'enlightened' norms.
you who were parents back then know exactly what i am talking about. the 'ethics' problems given to the kids in grade school that were nothing more than cultural programming, remember? madalyn murray o'hair, the relentless squeezing out of parents and God from children's education.
madonna and larry flynt acclaimed as paragons of free speech. that was subtle programming too, in retrospect.
the relentless pc push of the 90s planted the rotten seed in the moldable clay of generation y. their minds grew and fixated around it, and 2020 came the harvest. not all of them. maybe not even most of them. but enough. more than enough.
but the flip side of this dark harvest is what still gives me hope. because some of you, and i see a lot of you around here, learned to recognize the weeds that grew up from these bad seeds that were implanted and began to sprout. you rooted it out and replanted with seeds of truth and wisdom.
you, more than anyone, have an enormous work ahead of you. and only you can do it, because it is a battle you have already fought in yourselves.
i don't know if i really understand what is meant by 'based'. but i know what is meant by 'rooted', and i know that roots must be sunk into good soil. and i know that an honest man is rooted in wisdom. i don't know if i really understand what is mean by 'redpilled', but i know what is meant by 'conversion' and as i see it, that is what your true mission has to be, in some way or another.
and this thread also gives me an idea on how you may be able to bring that about.
the 90s were not all terrible pc culture. i see a lot of good things remembered here. the sitcoms i yelled at back then (my wife hated that) for their trash philosophy, i also liked watching, i admit. they did have humor, a thing now hard to get.
all those good things are shared experience between you and them. and where you have shared experience you have common ground.
yes. i think this is the way. to convert a gangster, you send a former gangster. to convert an alcoholic, you send a former alcoholic. an old hippie whose dreams never panned out and whose life is a cyclic path to nowhere can be converted by another old hippie who has found the true path that both wanted to be on in the first place. and to convert a 90s kid....send a wiser 90s kid.
the 90s were the bad seed of 2020s rotten fruit, but the 90s kids who found wisdom despite all that could replant this whole orchard and turn us right back around. and if we could do that, we could still M.A.G.A.
the love of money is the root of all evil.
any evil that a human can fall into, they can bring themselves into by avarice and the love of gain. the love of money is not the exclusive root of all evil, there are other ways to fall.
money itself is not morally evil but it is dangerous. isn't this something we see every day? gaining wealth can change good people who have never had much. people who are generous to a fault when poor, become rich and suddenly the wealth locks them to itself. isn't this what we see in the papers when we read about people like Epstein, the people who begin with a love for money, then once the money is taken for granted, graduate to a love of power? and indulge themselves in vices not even, so much, for the sake of pleasure, but for the sake of demonstrating their power over humans?
yes, it's a hard saying. everything in there is a hard saying. everything in the world is a trap, and there is no way for a human to live by the hard sayings, and no way for a human to avoid the traps alone.
this of course, is the point. the cultural madness of our opposition, the constant chopping and cutting and cancelling, this is really nothing new. it is the normal condition of godless humans. search behind their strident arrogance and you will find the terrified desperation, of a mass of humans trying to create a standard of 'purity' without the standard Who Is, and to live by their created standard, each his own pseudo-savior.
it can never work.
all to steal an election? no. the election is not the end goal. the presidency of the free world is not the prize they want, but rule over the hearts and minds of men.
even more important than the election, was that the election should appear close enough to be contested. do you think they could not have fabricated a landslide?
they certainly could have. if the people believe that biden could win more votes than any president in history, then they would have believed a landslide. but a landslide would make our president seem like no threat at all, where is the power in that?
it seems to be a real attempt at a slogan.
here it is in its native habitat, held by two cultists, with the reddit acolytes praising the picture's 'wholesomeness'.
wholesome biden, wholesome obama. that takes some mental gymnastics.

if you look closely at /any/ large NGO in your community you will probably find that a lot of the major ones are money laundering.
typically there are big 'middleman' organizations handling a lot of the 'charitable giving'. take a look at these orgs and compare disbursements from their own funds, to earmarked donations whose receipient is specified by the donor. and look where the donations go.
follow the money, right? a lot of the nonprofit economy exists to make money unfollowable...but, enough about the clinton foundation...
worse sounding but just as worse in practice, i think.
