Im not sure thats quite right. They suck at convincing people to maintain it. Most of the breakdown of authoritarian leftwing states seems to be how humans respond to top down corrupt beaurocracy rather than a technical failure, though there is also technical failure. By contrast natural incentive structures like trade are more adaptable and so they dont reward cheating the system in the same way.

Civilization's monuments say "THIS is what we could build, THIS is what our culture and way of life could achieve". How many monuments would last the test of time that were built in the last hundred years?
Nowadays most of our cultural achievements are mere information on the internet, with no physical dimension. It means we will be forgotten faster than any past civilization. Poof!
Probably several thousand, by the sheer virtue of the amount there is and the immense variety of tools of our disposal, the amount of different projects, the lone artists working decades for a small fandom. And hey, don't diss Hubble Telescope, it should be around for a while.

I am Polish. I view myself as European. But. I am not an asian. I am European. Europeans are Europeans, not Asians, not Africans. We have different values as EUROPEANS. I am pro EU - as an idea. But I am against the leftist idea of EU. They want to make EU as a vehicle of Globalism. I want EU as European Union of Independent states, that help eachother to stand against the tyrrany of the foreigners - like USA, like Putin, like China - LIKE ANY global world superpower that would want to throw their values, ideas onto us. But for the same reason I don't want the EU to force their ideals on my country. I want to be a part of Europe, where each nation can express their culture and contribute to eachother, not a tyrranizing collective of socialist "republics" that force one global culture onto everyone.
I recently visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the site of the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War. The battlefield is littered with hundreds of monuments-mostly made of Northern marble and Southern limestone. Yes, even Confederate General Lee has a statue in this solid Union state. These monuments were placed there over the course of a century and a half with the clear intent to remember the tragedy that unfolded there. It troubles me deeply that many of my fellow Americans want them torn down and the events forgotten.
A lot of those “Americans” have no historical tie to those events because their ancestors arrived after 1865. Combine that with a sense of nihilism among the Ivy League democrats and you have a recipe for disaster down the road
You would think that invasions, legal and rampant child murder, rampant degeneracy, perversion, crime and a complete targeted destruction of ethnicity, history, and culture in general would've done it. But no. It's the artwork and JustStopOil that does it? Don't make me laugh. Normalisation will happen. And people will adapt to the new normal of their insane dystopia. It will take much much more and many more people with a spine, to start a change.
There is a claim that "reductivism" is a positive thing - this exists in our universities. But reductivism, each time it strips away a layer in some way (many ways) "loses something" - and this something is usually regarded as unimportant or deposable. This is the arrogance of a Progressive - who don't understand that each "loss" in-itself is important and inestimable. The old idea of "death by a thousand cuts" is the intellectual Archilles Heel of their ideology that leads, ultimately, to a sterile and cynical treatment of our heritage and civilisation - seeing it as disposable. It is not.
@@entropybear5847 Yes tradition exists because people made dumb mistakes, a bunch of people got hurt, and they decided to prevent that in the future by making easily digestible norms for future generations to follow. Because our ancestors were wise, and realized that humans are naturally lazy and stupid and self-centered, they tried to make it easy for us, but now we're denying their wisdom, and as you can see, we're getting burnt for it. Now, how many people will have to get hurt before we learn our lesson, again, is the million dollar question?
They try desperately to reject culture, tradition, and heritage simply because those come with a certain set of expectations snd responsibilities, and If one can reject everything about the past, freeing themselves from any expectations on how to behave based on that historical past, it subsequently removes judgement of, and accountability for their actions. When one has no historical morals grounding them in an expected way of behaving, one can behave however they desire knowing they cannot be judged based on that specific set of historical morals. This is why history, culture, and the following of a foundational set of beliefs that are the basis for our society and the laws that protect it should be instilled in all of our children and encouraged to be adopted by those that wish to live within our society. If, for example, people of Pakistani heritage following any tenets of Sharia law are not encouraged to adopted the views on what has worked best to produce the best of English society and which enhances and improves that society FOR ALL citizens, then it should come as no surprise to anyone when they choose not to live by those standards, and when they then clash with the beliefs of their adopted home. Blending requires some assimilation and an adoption of beliefs and standards, otherwise it introduces a rot or poison to the entire mix. Anything else leads to either a long decline in the health of the society which ultimately leads to its death, or a volatility that rutures the goodwill of all involved which ultimately leads to violence and death for many, or lockdown and authoritarianism for the entire country. I fear the UK is a blend of both currently and your leaders are happy with the results either way. Best wishes from Canada.
@@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin It's about identifying the enemy, clearly and poignantly, in a manner they cannot occlude or escape, as it is an admonishment of their intrinsic being; traits they cannot hide, no matter what. Doing so prevents them from escaping their due punishment if/when it arrives, as they will have no excuse nor deflection capable of saving them.
And remember, all of this is fundamentally based on an excessive hatred and rejection of wrongs committed by said society in the past. These crimes are apparently so severe, so ubiquitous, so unatoned, so remorselessly committed, so impactful, and so foundational to our society, that there is no value in what has been made, nor is there any fixing it and we need to just burn the whole thing down, leaving nothing of what once existed and putting in its place…..anything that indulges your worst instincts and particularly your unearned sense of self righteousness. The modern progressive left is a patriotically dead political orientation. One that has benefited from the material and moral achievements of its predecessors, but cannot credit them for any of it or appreciate the work and progress and struggle such things represent and are founded upon, only convict them of their shortcomings. Both actual and imagined. What we are truly missing from our historical education and inculcation of values is a love, appreciation, and self identification with its best qualities and the struggles it took to reach this point. Acknowledgment of limitations and sins has run unchecked and gone too far.
I am Russian. As someone who has been raised with an inherent hatred towards my own civilization and culture I strongly resonate with your massage. How strange it is, that globalism turns people away from the time tested wisdom of ages towards a value system that seems to be civilization ending in practice… Is it even possible to create a global unifying system of values that isn’t suicidal?
Yes I think it's possible. But it would have to be a global order based on an expansioning of an existing regional civilisation. Which would be a long and bloody process, the death suicide or not of all other regional cultures. And even then I am not sure the process of global dominance would not shatter that orginal regional culture.
Well to be frank, Russian society and therefore culture has lots to be ashamed of. Looking at the current barbarism in Ukraine, I think there's something seriously wrong with Russian society just sitting idly by while their dear leader spreads death and suffering. I'm sure there's lots to love about the Russian soul, but it really is hard to see these days.
@@EnnoMaffen dude if your going to complain about the Russian Ukraine war than you have to complain about the wests antagonizing Russia by the constant expansion of NATO, as well as all the conflicts spearheaded by the west in the middle east like Iraq and Afghanistan.

@@EnnoMaffen Because the Russian public education system is qualitatively superior to that which generated you and your ilk across the now degenerate West, the average Russian knows a lot of pre-2022 Ukrainian history, along with being able to do basic algebra and read a printed page of text without moving their lips.

They know exactly what they mean when they say "far-right", but they can't say it out loud. The way these people use "far-right" is to mean anybody they don't like. That's it. But if they explicitly defined it that way in public, it would cause them all manner of headache. So they have to leave it undefined and intentionally vague.
Vagueness breeds uncertainty, and uncertainty breeds fear (and paralysis). The more vague "the far right" is the more afraid everyone on the left and center will be of falling within the label. In times of such fear, and paralyzed by it, their safest option will be to blindly defer to the top of the leftist hierarchy. Outsource thinking to it and don't act without its allowance. Misery for the followers, but bliss for the ones in charge.
I think largely in metaphors. Unfortunately I wasn't born into an established river so I've had to create my own little trickle of water, population: me. I didn't create it without inspiration though. "[Globalism] tries to create a blank slate out of a masterpiece because it can only see the pointless pigment on the canvas, and is unable to step back to witness the whole painting." That is a genius quote. I've thought of it in a similar way for a long time but I never put it that well.
@@RaddyC No, no not really. I was born in a metropolitan area to to a dad from the Midwest and mom from Puerto Rico, neither of them being deeply steeped in the culture of those places, and both of them living in various other places for the majority of their lives. And I was born nowhere near either of their homelands. My parents weren't religious, nor were they adherents to the religion of atheism. The area I grew up in didn't and still doesn't have much of it's own culture, being the suburban outskirts of a big city where most of the residents only moved in from various distant places in the past 30 or so years. I basically grew up in something not too far off from the cultureless "utopia" the globalists dream of. Sure maybe there were various "rivers" flowing in my vicinity, but they all had an equally weak stake in my life personally. Compare that to someone who is born in a land with a certain people and culture, to that people and culture, and is raised on that land and in that culture, and if that's being born into an established river, then I certainly wasn't.
Behind every ancient monument is a choice to preserve it throughout the centuries. This choice can only be made by a people who are aware of their shared history and respect it.
Carl, welcome back to short form composition pieces. Your experiences forming LE has made you strong. This was one of your best expositions... succinct, thoughful and illuminating. Thanks again for providing it.
Monuments had a function. We don't always know it today, but they did something important. Looking at how the monuments are made so that they can do their job in the context of their time and place is very important. It is getting in the head of someone else so that you can see how their world works, at least in part, which can give you insight about things you might not have even realized have missed. This is diversity. Real diversity, not a different dish, nose shape, or accent, but meaningful diversity which often times tackled very similar problems that we tackle today. In old places it is even in the same places as today. Discarding your history is discarding your diversity, and the working consequential things of those that wish you well.
I went to the Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio and saw a machine I've always loved and to see it in person for the first time I saw a designer picturing eagles, hawks, a predator despite the regime they were under. A MiG-29. I stood around being awkward and watched by security for a time but I think they understood and moved away after a while. And all (perceived) alone. I walked up to it and touched it on the wing. Right at that moment it became so real, no pictures, no description, the physical object. To feel the work, the labor, the love poured into such a fine machine, to feel it. A work of art Humans today lack that romance in themselves. The need to see, to just touch a object and make it real beyond eyes and ears. To feel and perceive things made before their time and appreciate what was put into works great and small. This is humanity, and these sad people do not understand the world they live in to call things "rocks." That's your ancestors pouring themselves into something they feel that strong about

Europe has seen a rise in the “Far Right” but in reality it’s not what we traditionally think of as Far Right but simple conservatism of what came before. It simply looks far right because the left has moved so much further from the centre. Who knew that if you flooded countries with outsiders who do not integrate, who loot, rape, murder and pillage the population they have come to, that there would be a backlash against these people and the policy that grants them access? "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit" is a popular sentiment for explaining the good we do for the next generation. This current lefty generation has allowed other to cut down that tree for short term gain and are now complaining when people object to their desecration of the work others put in to provide that shade for all.
That actually makes me sad. In a way, they won. Some traditions will be lost forever, if this is true. They've shifted the Overton Window so much, that being a conservative no longer means preserving the traditions that made the past great, it just means slightly pushing back against the current insanity and being extremely moderate liberals/libertarians, but at the end of the day, it's still leftism that is the dominant worldview. Man, these people, have literally ruined everything lol

Thanks for this very insightful post.

Here in Greenville, SC there is a restaurant that serves “bourgeois” breakfast biscuits (think “pricy McDonald’s”). The tables are all reclaimed wood with epoxy sealer. The coffee mugs are each unique without a chip or a scratch. It feels like the sort of place you would eat if you were rich and also had a vague admiration for the little people, without the courage to actually mingle with us. This is an encapsulation of the elite experience. This is their outlook and experience constantly. They go to a resort in Haiti and think they’ve been to Haiti.
Carl has previously explained the world, western world more so, are governed by managers and HR - true and so these people play it safe as managers and HR of countries. The Far-Right could be merely the contractors living more locally, usually often they come from small towns whereas the business people are international and all their employees as well Far-Left. The rural areas will always outnumber the urban areas until the urban people move out or purchase the rural areas pushing the rural people constantly away or into urban areas.
Root word for nation is the same as natal. A nation is a people. The actions and faith of that people determine their legacy, not mysterious forces of circumstance.
When all you believe in is power, it is all you will see anywhere. Talk to these people about gothic cathedrals and they won’t even register the beauty, the craftsmanship or the peace of the space. They’ll just talk about how it was built to control people, that is the only aspect of anything that resonates with them. It tells you pretty much everything.
What makes a society? It is the familial and cultural bindings that we all share. The more disparate the people are, the more likely the society is to splinter or collapse. This is why people need to speak the same language, have the same upbringing, participate in the same activities, same religion, etc. If you have people who speak different languages, have different religions, grew up with different traditions in different methods, you have almost nothing in common except being human. There is no connection there. You will not sacrifice to help that person. Neither will they to you.

The idea of a "White" Australia is such a repulsive and repugnant Americanisation it just erks me because it's a thought-terminating slogan. Prior to about 2015 or so Australians just didn't see themselves in such low resolution imagery, it sounds weird calling yourself a "White" Australian. We were Anglo-Celtic sure, but being Anglo-Celtic is not "White", it's Anglo-Celtic, there actually is something there, there is a history, there is a civilisation and there is a legacy to be continued. The vulgarity of our Americanisation frustrates me to no end because their racial grievance politics just doesn't mesh well culturally with our Anglo-Celtic Australia. And the more they try and become fused together on the part of our ruling class the more New South Welsh I become. Basically what started in 1967 has to lead somewhere and it leads with us seceding and going our separate ways. We no longer wish to be a part of this Commonwealth. It doesn't represent us, it's not something we as New South Welshmen and Welshwomen ever consented too and frankly we want out. We want our separate New South Welsh State. Be it either a Republic or a Monarchy.
@@Eirik_Bloodaxe A lot of the post-60's Australian cultural subversion is a by-product of the hyperdecadence of the boomer generation.

We see something very similar with the failed 1999 Republican referendum.
The bulk of any nation is conservative. It MUST otherwise it’s not stable enough to be a Nation. Forced elections like the referendums tell the truth of the country. It is also lost on the left that their imports are often conservative because they don’t want to change what is here. Why leave China if you just want another China? The refugee vs migrant difference is real as well.

Heritage American here, chugging down the metaphorical Mississippi River in my steamboat, playing a figurative harmonica for the herons and alligators.
As a center right conservative American, the way how I look at civilization and history is a lesson from our ancestors to help solve or at least deter future problems we might face. It is to be seen with an object viewpoint, to try the best of one’s ability to not let one’s bias clout judgement. To me it is the equivalent of having a chart of stars in the skies, knowledge passed down through the generations to give insight and wisdom. The radical left cannot grasp this concept, they imo feel threatened of the past, whether it is achievements or lessons, that they desire to destroy it so we all have to live in their alternative world for power. It would be like an artist challenging themselves from using the basic tools, like a paint brush, to create an art piece. Perhaps it could be valuable to have such a challenge for an exercise to reframe using tools, but the hard left goes to the extreme and forces upon every other artist to do this for the end of time. Part of the heritage is to continue to build off of our ancestors achievements, our role in the current time is to find ways to preserve it so that the future doesn’t have to face the hard lessons from the past. To preserve it, we also have to have a balance of growing ourselves to strengthen this heritage so that it remains connected in the future.

I recently visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the site of the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War. The battlefield is littered with hundreds of monuments-mostly made of Northern marble and Southern limestone. Yes, even Confederate General Lee has a statue in this solid Union state. These monuments were placed there over the course of a century and a half with the clear intent to remember the tragedy that unfolded there. It troubles me deeply that many of my fellow Americans want them torn down and the events forgotten.
A lot of those “Americans” have no historical tie to those events because their ancestors arrived after 1865. Combine that with a sense of nihilism among the Ivy League democrats and you have a recipe for disaster down the road

There is a claim that "reductivism" is a positive thing - this exists in our universities. But reductivism, each time it strips away a layer in some way (many ways) "loses something" - and this something is usually regarded as unimportant or deposable. This is the arrogance of a Progressive - who don't understand that each "loss" in-itself is important and inestimable. The old idea of "death by a thousand cuts" is the intellectual Archilles Heel of their ideology that leads, ultimately, to a sterile and cynical treatment of our heritage and civilisation - seeing it as disposable. It is not.
Tradition is often wisdom that modern audiences have forgotten the hard lessons that led to it.
@@entropybear5847 Yes tradition exists because people made dumb mistakes, a bunch of people got hurt, and they decided to prevent that in the future by making easily digestible norms for future generations to follow. Because our ancestors were wise, and realized that humans are naturally lazy and stupid and self-centered, they tried to make it easy for us, but now we're denying their wisdom, and as you can see, we're getting burnt for it. Now, how many people will have to get hurt before we learn our lesson, again, is the million dollar question?

They try desperately to reject culture, tradition, and heritage simply because those come with a certain set of expectations snd responsibilities, and If one can reject everything about the past, freeing themselves from any expectations on how to behave based on that historical past, it subsequently removes judgement of, and accountability for their actions. When one has no historical morals grounding them in an expected way of behaving, one can behave however they desire knowing they cannot be judged based on that specific set of historical morals. This is why history, culture, and the following of a foundational set of beliefs that are the basis for our society and the laws that protect it should be instilled in all of our children and encouraged to be adopted by those that wish to live within our society. If, for example, people of Pakistani heritage following any tenets of Sharia law are not encouraged to adopted the views on what has worked best to produce the best of English society and which enhances and improves that society FOR ALL citizens, then it should come as no surprise to anyone when they choose not to live by those standards, and when they then clash with the beliefs of their adopted home. Blending requires some assimilation and an adoption of beliefs and standards, otherwise it introduces a rot or poison to the entire mix. Anything else leads to either a long decline in the health of the society which ultimately leads to its death, or a volatility that rutures the goodwill of all involved which ultimately leads to violence and death for many, or lockdown and authoritarianism for the entire country. I fear the UK is a blend of both currently and your leaders are happy with the results either way. Best wishes from Canada.

Doing so prevents them from escaping their due punishment if/when it arrives, as they will have no excuse nor deflection capable of saving them.
And remember, all of this is fundamentally based on an excessive hatred and rejection of wrongs committed by said society in the past. These crimes are apparently so severe, so ubiquitous, so unatoned, so remorselessly committed, so impactful, and so foundational to our society, that there is no value in what has been made, nor is there any fixing it and we need to just burn the whole thing down, leaving nothing of what once existed and putting in its place…..anything that indulges your worst instincts and particularly your unearned sense of self righteousness.
The modern progressive left is a patriotically dead political orientation. One that has benefited from the material and moral achievements of its predecessors, but cannot credit them for any of it or appreciate the work and progress and struggle such things represent and are founded upon, only convict them of their shortcomings.

What we are truly missing from our historical education and inculcation of values is a love, appreciation, and self identification with its best qualities and the struggles it took to reach this point. Acknowledgment of limitations and sins has run unchecked and gone too far.

I am Russian. As someone who has been raised with an inherent hatred towards my own civilization and culture I strongly resonate with your massage.
How strange it is, that globalism turns people away from the time tested wisdom of ages towards a value system that seems to be civilization ending in practice…
Is it even possible to create a global unifying system of values that isn’t suicidal?
Yes I think it's possible. But it would have to be a global order based on an expansioning of an existing regional civilisation. Which would be a long and bloody process, the death suicide or not of all other regional cultures.
And even then I am not sure the process of global dominance would not shatter that orginal regional culture.
Well to be frank, Russian society and therefore culture has lots to be ashamed of. Looking at the current barbarism in Ukraine, I think there's something seriously wrong with Russian society just sitting idly by while their dear leader spreads death and suffering. I'm sure there's lots to love about the Russian soul, but it really is hard to see these days.

@@EnnoMaffen Because the Russian public education system is qualitatively superior to that which generated you and your ilk across the now degenerate West, the average Russian knows a lot of pre-2022 Ukrainian history, along with being able to do basic algebra and read a printed page of text without moving their lips.

They know exactly what they mean when they say "far-right", but they can't say it out loud. The way these people use "far-right" is to mean anybody they don't like. That's it. But if they explicitly defined it that way in public, it would cause them all manner of headache. So they have to leave it undefined and intentionally vague.
far-right = pale people who are resisting or in the way. That's it, that's the meme.
Vagueness breeds uncertainty, and uncertainty breeds fear (and paralysis). The more vague "the far right" is the more afraid everyone on the left and center will be of falling within the label. In times of such fear, and paralyzed by it, their safest option will be to blindly defer to the top of the leftist hierarchy. Outsource thinking to it and don't act without its allowance. Misery for the followers, but bliss for the ones in charge.

The vagueness also plays into the mysticism of their ideologically defined enemy who is both ever present and at the same time weak and defeatable.

"[Globalism] tries to create a blank slate out of a masterpiece because it can only see the pointless pigment on the canvas, and is unable to step back to witness the whole painting."
That is a genius quote. I've thought of it in a similar way for a long time but I never put it that well.
What do you mean you weren’t born into an established river? Everyone was.
@@RaddyC No, no not really. I was born in a metropolitan area to to a dad from the Midwest and mom from Puerto Rico, neither of them being deeply steeped in the culture of those places, and both of them living in various other places for the majority of their lives. And I was born nowhere near either of their homelands. My parents weren't religious, nor were they adherents to the religion of atheism. The area I grew up in didn't and still doesn't have much of it's own culture, being the suburban outskirts of a big city where most of the residents only moved in from various distant places in the past 30 or so years.
I basically grew up in something not too far off from the cultureless "utopia" the globalists dream of.
Sure maybe there were various "rivers" flowing in my vicinity, but they all had an equally weak stake in my life personally.
Compare that to someone who is born in a land with a certain people and culture, to that people and culture, and is raised on that land and in that culture, and if that's being born into an established river, then I certainly wasn't.

Carl, welcome back to short form composition pieces. Your experiences forming LE has made you strong. This was one of your best expositions... succinct, thoughful and illuminating. Thanks again for providing it.
Monuments had a function. We don't always know it today, but they did something important. Looking at how the monuments are made so that they can do their job in the context of their time and place is very important. It is getting in the head of someone else so that you can see how their world works, at least in part, which can give you insight about things you might not have even realized have missed. This is diversity. Real diversity, not a different dish, nose shape, or accent, but meaningful diversity which often times tackled very similar problems that we tackle today. In old places it is even in the same places as today. Discarding your history is discarding your diversity, and the working consequential things of those that wish you well.

I stood around being awkward and watched by security for a time but I think they understood and moved away after a while.
And all (perceived) alone. I walked up to it and touched it on the wing. Right at that moment it became so real, no pictures, no description, the physical object. To feel the work, the labor, the love poured into such a fine machine, to feel it. A work of art
Humans today lack that romance in themselves. The need to see, to just touch a object and make it real beyond eyes and ears. To feel and perceive things made before their time and appreciate what was put into works great and small.

Europe has seen a rise in the “Far Right” but in reality it’s not what we traditionally think of as Far Right but simple conservatism of what came before. It simply looks far right because the left has moved so much further from the centre. Who knew that if you flooded countries with outsiders who do not integrate, who loot, rape, murder and pillage the population they have come to, that there would be a backlash against these people and the policy that grants them access?
"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit" is a popular sentiment for explaining the good we do for the next generation. This current lefty generation has allowed other to cut down that tree for short term gain and are now complaining when people object to their desecration of the work others put in to provide that shade for all.
That actually makes me sad. In a way, they won. Some traditions will be lost forever, if this is true. They've shifted the Overton Window so much, that being a conservative no longer means preserving the traditions that made the past great, it just means slightly pushing back against the current insanity and being extremely moderate liberals/libertarians, but at the end of the day, it's still leftism that is the dominant worldview.

Here in Greenville, SC there is a restaurant that serves “bourgeois” breakfast biscuits (think “pricy McDonald’s”). The tables are all reclaimed wood with epoxy sealer. The coffee mugs are each unique without a chip or a scratch. It feels like the sort of place you would eat if you were rich and also had a vague admiration for the little people, without the courage to actually mingle with us. This is an encapsulation of the elite experience. This is their outlook and experience constantly. They go to a resort in Haiti and think they’ve been to Haiti.

What makes a society? It is the familial and cultural bindings that we all share. The more disparate the people are, the more likely the society is to splinter or collapse. This is why people need to speak the same language, have the same upbringing, participate in the same activities, same religion, etc. If you have people who speak different languages, have different religions, grew up with different traditions in different methods, you have almost nothing in common except being human. There is no connection there. You will not sacrifice to help that person. Neither will they to you.

The idea of a "White" Australia is such a repulsive and repugnant Americanisation it just erks me because it's a thought-terminating slogan. Prior to about 2015 or so Australians just didn't see themselves in such low resolution imagery, it sounds weird calling yourself a "White" Australian. We were Anglo-Celtic sure, but being Anglo-Celtic is not "White", it's Anglo-Celtic, there actually is something there, there is a history, there is a civilisation and there is a legacy to be continued. The vulgarity of our Americanisation frustrates me to no end because their racial grievance politics just doesn't mesh well culturally with our Anglo-Celtic Australia. And the more they try and become fused together on the part of our ruling class the more New South Welsh I become. Basically what started in 1967 has to lead somewhere and it leads with us seceding and going our separate ways. We no longer wish to be a part of this Commonwealth. It doesn't represent us, it's not something we as New South Welshmen and Welshwomen ever consented too and frankly we want out. We want our separate New South Welsh State. Be it either a Republic or a Monarchy.

Heritage American here, chugging down the metaphorical Mississippi River in my steamboat, playing a figurative harmonica for the herons and alligators.
As a center right conservative American, the way how I look at civilization and history is a lesson from our ancestors to help solve or at least deter future problems we might face. It is to be seen with an object viewpoint, to try the best of one’s ability to not let one’s bias clout judgement. To me it is the equivalent of having a chart of stars in the skies, knowledge passed down through the generations to give insight and wisdom.
The radical left cannot grasp this concept, they imo feel threatened of the past, whether it is achievements or lessons, that they desire to destroy it so we all have to live in their alternative world for power. It would be like an artist challenging themselves from using the basic tools, like a paint brush, to create an art piece. Perhaps it could be valuable to have such a challenge for an exercise to reframe using tools, but the hard left goes to the extreme and forces upon every other artist to do this for the end of time.
Part of the heritage is to continue to build off of our ancestors achievements, our role in the current time is to find ways to preserve it so that the future doesn’t have to face the hard lessons from the past. To preserve it, we also have to have a balance of growing ourselves to strengthen this heritage so that it remains connected in the future.
