I'm not against religion (which is the norm for (ethno)nationalist atheists) but his stuff.. it's about as childish (and quite tacky, well he is a boomer yank) as it can get, IMO.Plonker should stick to his Legion of Mary videos methinks.
I think blaming the erosion of traditional values and the degenerate dystopia on capitalism is a little myopic.The likes of Dan and Plonker subscribe to the bastardised so-called conservatism of Reagan and Thatcher in which the free market supposedly = conservative. Before the 80s traditional conservatives understood that economic liberalism (free market economics) and social liberalism go hand-in-hand. It was protective tariffs during the 19th century which built America into an industrial powerhouse, nothing to do with "muh free market". The sort of free market fundamentalism which Dan espouses has led to the deindustrialisation of the United States over the past four decades. The Chinese laugh at Yanks such as Dan and their beloved free market fetishism as it means more jobs and revenue for them.
Have any of these so-called conservatives stopped to ask themselves why perhaps society appears to be (in their eyes) growing more and more degenerate, year after year? It's because big business has successfully managed to eradicate any traditional economic, moral and social opposition which had once stood in its way. Very easy to bitch about a few ivory tower liberals doing this, that and the other...yet the real damage (at least from a traditionalist standpoint) has been done by corporate interests. If it makes money, then it's all good to go. Big business never gave a fuck about "conservative values"...and the idiots who've voted for Reagan and his disciples ever since only have themselves to blame.
Basically- if you're a pig who's obsessed with money to the point of worship...and believe that you can have your cake and eat it too, aka. traditional values + the free market...then you and your values will rightfully be punished. There hasn't been a successful traditionalist movement in decades...both social and economic liberalism have crushed the forces which once stood opposed to them for the past three centuries.
So while the Arsefield's crowd spend all day whining about xyz liberal YouTuber talking about xyz....Corporate America and Corporate Europe are doing the real damage in the background. These individuals who they're railing against have fuck all power - unlike corporate interests which can influence entire national governments. But thick cunts on sites such as Arsefield's will never understand the underlying reason as to why their way of life is actually declining. There's nothing "conservative" about free market economics...if anything it's the final nail in the coffin for centuries of Western moral and cultural traditions.

I will. What's that got to do with trying to have a discussion. If you're not up for it then no one's forcing you..Believe whatever you want.
By the way, I don't think (your) blaming capitalism is without merit, when I said "myopic" I meant that I don't think it's solely to blame. Tadhg of course would always blame capitalism (in full) but he was a literal communist, LARPing of course but a literal communist nonetheless, like Ash Sarkar.Believe whatever you want.

Locke, as in the "father of liberalism"?The aforementioned conservativism would consider capitalism and communism to be two sides of the same materialist coin. There's been conservative opposition to free market economics since the 17th century...opposed to John Locke and his ilk.
If people wish to believe that the traditional values of Christendom can flourish in a society which adheres to the theories of Locke, Smith etc. then that's their prerogative.
Tiger (AKA Drooper) is a bunny boiler of mine and one of Plunktard's bigoted Catholic brigade. She has no interest in reading anything that isn't flat-earth tier nonsense.Books
I imagine there’s a few bibliophiles on this forum who are well read and have a plethora of fascinating book recommendations in them. This is the thread for doing so. I’ll get the ball rolling with Feargus O’Connor Greenwood’s conspiracy tome - ‘180 degrees, unlearn the lies you’ve been taught...www.sarsfieldsvirtualpub.com
Another hilarious thread on Arsefield's.
Well that's when Gowl isn't regaling the site with his sexual exploits and fantasies in the RCC and St. John's Ambulance service.![]()
