"Now the philosemites will accuse the preceding paragraph of being coded anti-Jewishness, but it really isn’t. My position isn’t white supremacy - it’s white dignity. I think white peoples should have homelands and cultures that are actively preserved and defended. This is the same respect I extend to every other nation and culture, assuming that they do not infringe upon such rights for my tribe."
The problem is that in our current brain-fucked hellhole culture, there's no longer any difference perceived between these positions. Saying "Whites have a right to exist and defend our culture" is considered equivalent to "I want to kill everyone non-white."
It's absolutely inherently anti-white. It attacks aspects of stable society because it associates them with "Whiteness", not the other way around, not incidentally. That was more or less the argument the video was making, and I completely disagree. CRT seeks to demonize and diminish any sort of pride, solidarity, or sense of self-preservation among Whites specifically. It's an appeal for white genocide dressed up as academics to lend it credibility.
I've never understood why this guy draws such a big audience.
He doesn't have a likeable personality, he's not particularly funny or witty, he's not knowledgeable or has industry connections (I distinctly remember him saying he "doesn't care how games are made"), he doesn't seem to be especially skilled as a gamer, his "hot takes" aren't all that impressive, and he doesn't have the strength of his convictions to even stand by them.
Every time I've listened to him talk, he comes off as a midwit with an inflated ego.
Having it fade into obscurity is preferable to the the continuous public necrophilia going on with Star Wars and Marvel. If people can't/won't treat these IP's with respect, I'd rather they keep their hands off them.
To clarify, I didn't mean long-time loyal fans of Pre-2008 Marvel. The MCU has barely given a fuck about what they wanted since these movies started. I meant casual fans of the MCU and people who actually liked the Captain Marvel movie (however many that is).
Now a Folie a Deux-tone Captain Marvel sequel would be like "She's a completely useless bitch, she fails at everything, she completely rejects her superhero role, then gets raped and dies". While I can imagine that would be wildly popular with a few people, it's similarly ill-advised.
It sounds like a movie made for the Murray Franklins of the world.
“You thought Joker was going to be a criminal mastermind? No, that’s not how it works in the REAL WORLD! He accomplishes nothing! That’s what happens to people who fight back!”
“You thought he was gonna get a blonde jester girlfriend? No, she says he’s pathetic and dumps him!”
“Oh you incels want your precious hero to get laid? How bout some prison guard rape? Why? Fuck you, that’s why!
“And then he gets shanked to death at the end! Take that, punks!”
" the constant over representation of black/lgbt/female (girl power)."
I've started calling black lesbians "Threefers", because every time they include one in something, it's three check marks in one character. It damn near guarantees whatever you’re watching is going to be a pile of woke crap. Watching American media today, you’d think nearly all black women were gay.
“Also, people know the lgbt population is small so naturally it makes sense to get annoyed with it being shoved into everything or some racial narrative constant being talked about. “
Something I wanted to note regarding that – you ever notice how, even with the deluge of woke content, you never see a gay male protagonist in a movie/show, unless it’s explicitly about being gay? There’s a reason for that. Straight men don’t want to identify with gay male characters. They just don’t. No amount of calling them “homophobe” will change this. When they need LGBT rep, it’s almost always a lesbian lead. Another thing – straight men have zero interest in a lesbian character that isn’t hot.
I don’t have an issue with gays and lesbians having their own content, or the occasional character who just happens to be that, or even a larger amount if there’s some intentional reason that isn’t virtue signaling (i.e. all-female civilization or whatever). But shoving them front-and-center into stories that having nothing to do with being gay is inherently off-putting, and the woke do it intentionally because they’re compulsive iconoclasts who loathe everything normal and need to “stick it to the cis white patriarchy” at every opportunity, even when it’s creating disdain and resentment for the same people they’re supposedly trying to help.
“One thing I noticed first is the constant push for women into male dominated hobbies/interests “
It’s about “fighting the patriarchy”. Male spaces are inherently a threat to women because you leave men alone in a group, it inherently fosters misogynist beliefs and practices, according to their bullshit ideology men are evil monsters who need to be monitored and kept in check at all times. You can see why feminism endears to so many oligarchs and tyrants, they’re never left wanting for an excuse to interfere with people’s lives.
The problem with this is that a lot of the woke aren’t motivated by consistent political beliefs. Their rhetoric is clearly Marxist derived, but a lot of these people are not Communists or Marxist in any meaningful sense. The typical woke doesn’t give a shit about Marx, abolition of private property, seizing the means of production. They have no issues with billionaires or giant corporations, so long as they’re on their side.
Many of them are not revolutionaries in any way, they play defense for the government all the time (Democrats at least), and call people questioning things “threats to democracy”. From what I’ve seen, the only consistent through-line is hating straight white men, and blaming them for everything.
If the proper political term is “progressive”, I have to ask, how is this a meaningful distinction? Is “Woke” not just a pejorative term for Progressive, like Nazi for National Socialist?
I thought the prog consensus was that 90's were horrible and misogynist and oppressive because businesses understood sexy bitches were an effective marketing tactic.
