Identity Politics and Hollywood dumbing-down things again
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 09/20/2022 - 2:25pmFierce, Black, Female Warriors.
That checks almost all of the boxes for modern Identity Politics. That's why if you oppose the movie The Woman King for any reason then you are a low-life dirtbag.
Why America is tearing itself apart and who benefits
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 07/06/2022 - 6:21pmLately I've come to realize that the reason why people are so divided in this country is your high school history class.
Let me explain.
Everyone in this country is divided by identity these days. Race, gender, sexual orientation, it seems people are looking for ways to be different without actually being different. Liberals pretend that these are the only identities that matter.
The Collapse of globalism and global pillage Globalism's tenets have been debunked, why have those insights been hidden in America?
Submitted by zed2 on Wed, 12/01/2021 - 8:53amThis is a video by John Ralston Saul. Its a good outline of what has become of this utopian cult as its looked at more closely. Its promises have NOT come true!
Instead starting in the 90s the collapse began, globalism became GLOBAL PILLAGE. Oligarchs who saw it as a green light from the US and EU for them to steal from and lie to everybody.
A lot of people started to realize it was a sham.
It is not inevitable. .
Interesting video onthe proto-European Minoan Crete civilization

Its not mentioned in this video but excavations at the site of Akrotiri tell of human sacrifice, in the shadow of the erupting volcano. Theysuggest human sacrifices were occurring.
This was the most advanced civilization in the world at that time? Scary.
Or were they? Were they actually heinous barbarians.

Submitted by Cassiodorus on Thu, 10/31/2019 - 9:20pmSo the latest news from California is this:
New fires flared up in Riverside, Ventura and San Bernardino Counties on Wednesday and Thursday just as winds eased in the north and firefighters wrangling the state’s largest active blaze, the Kincade fire, managed to contain more than half of its 76,800-acre footprint for the first time.
