Is the culture war new?

[Otis Mayfield]

People define the "culture war" as orthodoxy versus the progressives. Orthodox people want things to stay as they are or they even want to roll back things. Progressives want change.

So BLM is progressive; they want cops to stop being so aggressive with black people. The Texas' stance on abortion is orthodox. Texas is rolling back abortion laws from the first trimester to just the first two weeks.

So that's what people say the culture war is: progressives versus the orthodox.

Do you think this is a new thing?

Back in the 1920s people were upset because female "flapper" dancers exposed the calves of their legs. They thought radio was making people stupid because people had stopped reading. Cars were mobile dens of inequity where couples would drive to a secluded place and make out.

Progressives in the 1920s wanted things like unemployment insurance and social security. And to do away with Jim Crow laws in the South.

And then we have this:

“Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants.”

-- Socrates, circa 470BC

So is the culture war new or something that's been going on since forever?

In the USSR, the progressives went further. Progressist Beria began to fuck little girls and they rotted half of the country in concentration camps. If the progressist Roosevelt had achieved his goal, the United States would also be attracted to something like that. It has already begun. In the USA, there were collective farms and the seizure of gold from the population in the late 30s

5 Things Marx Wanted to Abolish (Besides Private Property)

Marx’s manifesto is famous for summing up his theory of Communism with a single sentence: “Abolition of private property.” But this was hardly the only thing the philosopher believed must be abolished from bourgeois society in the proletariat's march to utopia. In his manifesto, Marx highlighted...

Marx admits that destroying the family is a thorny topic, even for revolutionaries. “Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists,” he writes.
Marx believed individuality was antithetical to the egalitarianism he envisioned. Therefore, the “individual” must “be swept out of the way, and made impossible.”
Marx did not appear to believe that any truth existed beyond class struggle.
Communists, Marx said, are reproached for seeking to abolish countries.
Marx saw tradition as a tool of the bourgeoisie. Adherence to the past served as a mere distraction in proletariat’s quest for emancipation and supremacy.

Everything happening today is by the Marxist playbook.

Since forever. The only difference now is the fancy new social media bullhorns to enhance the cultural division.

There is nothing actually progressive about the so-called "progressives" especially considering that it is rheir own orthodoxy rhat is the closest thing to true fascism this country has ever seen

Explain the orthodoxy of today's 'progressive'. Please and thank you.

No, these aren't new at all. A liberal or progressive stance seeks to change society in order to fix (what they see as) social problems, and a conservative or orthodox stance seeks to preserve society against (what they see as) unnecessary or excessive change. The terms are relatively recent, but the concepts have been at the center of every organized society since human started to settle down and build cities.

it's happened throughout (pre-historic) history, whenever local groups became so large that sub-cultures evolved.

it's a side-effect of the excess opinion sharing and pushing that happens due to the 'birds of a feather want and like to flock together' principle.

50s Laws and Culture Will Give Us Back a 50s Economy, the Greatest Ever

Your examples don't prove anything. This is "innocence by association"; you cherry-pick instances where orthodoxy was wrong in the past. In your slippery logic, that justifies pushing New Age Sewage.

Otis Mayfield So has "Culture War" become the new catch phrase that we are supposed to fight about? I'm not even sure what it means but it sounds like the latest crap being pushed by the Left to create more division and anger between the American people. I think there is a power struggle and the Democrats see their chance to create One Party Rule and they are throwing out everything and the kitchen sink to make that happen.

But a miracle happened last night in Virginia that looked an awful lot like real Americans fighting for what they value and taking back their state. If that is what is meant by "culture war', then I'm all in.

 

[sartre play]

Its so much easier to Hate than the supreme effort required to find solutions. We hire actual real work adverse lazy self serving people based on party membership greed & self serving desires. Honesty never a requirement for office. Just breaking the hate cycle on a personal level is taking up a lot of my time & effort.

It would be helpful if our legislators could faithfully execute the Constitutions they have sworn to uphold.

The anti-Christ culture wars have been going on before Christ and thereafter to now, and are approaching complete success. So help that beastly system and get yourself injected with the Covid population elimination drugs, so that Lord Esau can succeed in His depopulation scheme, at least for now.

Inside Every Social Justice Warrior Is a Psychotic Nihilist

Progues are misfits who want to destroy the society that rejected them. Behind their touchy-feely, warm-and-fuzzy poses is a sociopathic urge. They know perfectly well that the Afram savages they turned loose will wreck everything Whites who are not in their demotic cult built.

No harm in change but not all change is good. We live in crazy times, I didn't realise the human race could get so bizarre.

Progressives have turned into weirdo supporting dingbats.

BLM wants cops to start overlooking all their thugs. That's the fact, jack. And the progressives support that kind of BS. It's insane. Black dude just robs a liquor store in a predominately black high crime area, and get's pulled over for a busted taillight 2 miles from the store he just robbed, and complain that he's being profiled.

What a load of progressive crap.

Well, I guess if things had stay conservative, we'd all be subsistence farmers with only a few lords lording over us.

That's socialism and/or communism.
