This week is one of those shows where I just turn on the mic and talk for an hour off the top of my head without knowing where I am going with it. Some people think these are the best shows, but I am skeptical. The inspiration for the show is a post I did earlier in the week behind the green door. The topic of that post was the difficulty enjoying old movies and television as a dissident.
Once you are aware of why Jake from State Farm is a black guy now, you see the tentacles of the people behind it in all sorts of things. Those old movies you enjoyed a million years ago suddenly look different to you. You notice the little bits of subversion in them that has led to where we are now. You cannot enjoy them as you once did because you see what you did not see the first time.
Thinking about it, this extends to other things. Once your eyes are opened to certain things, you turn into Roddy Randy Piper from They Live. You keep putting on the dissident classes, seeing things that maybe you wished you had not seen, but you cannot stop doing it. In the show I used the example of Ronald Reagan, who many here no doubt grew up thinking of as a great president.
This may not sound too bad, but it does bring the risk of turning the dissident into someone incapable of feeling joy. You cannot watch a movie or television show without getting angry about the subversion. A mindless thing like a sporting event turns into another arena of the great struggle. If you are not careful, you cut yourself off from your fellow citizens with regards to the popular culture.
More important, you can find yourself at war with the past. For left-wing radicals, this is a good thing as they want to be free of the past. Normie, of course, wants to return to some mythical place in the past. Dissidents do not want to be free of the past, but have an honest relationship with it, in order to figure out what comes next. This is a unique challenge to the modern dissident.

I’ve been a dissident most of my life. What jaded me, and can be evidenced from the Ronald comment in the OP and general depressive OPs like this one, is that though the dissident right has come around, by chance, to some of my opinions, they still fall into only a few narrow categories…
For this place, the relevant category is ex-griller who secretly pines for the Return of the Ribeye. This includes Z, unfortunately. We can seize our destiny at the future buffet line once again! We can get the condiments right this time if we’re in charge! Don’t worry!
Oh sweetie. You have no idea what’s happening.
Anywho, that’s a little irritating for me. However, for yall here and myself, there is a point to this comment…
I say this as a regular dude…
Don’t be afraid to fire up the grill this weekend. Go fishing. Drink a beer standing in your garage with the door open overlooking your modest world as it hums by.
Fuck, I saw the ruling uniparty for what it was in the 90s and knew voting was probably a waste of time. Glad to see someone caught up.
Life is short tho. Let’s enjoy each other’s company now and again. There ain’t a fucking thing wrong with raising our glasses to each other today. There ain’t shit wrong in enjoying the moment either.
So enjoy it.
tl;dr yall grillers, just grill a moment. Feels good. We here. Also, Michael Anton’s articles were solid reads, even if Z don’t like them.

Lib griller in Westport, CT gets carjacked in his own garage after a nice Sunday drive:

So, just like every other week, then?
Seriously, I’ve never listened to one of these “Power Hours” that ever seemed like it had a conclusion. It’s always all introduction; it’s all exposition. The Z Man grabs onto a subject, shakes it and chews through it in a terrier-like manner, and then, after leaving a bunch of slobbery rawhide crumbs all over the carpet, departs with his customary, “Well, that’s enough of me gassing on…”
The reason this is a big deal is because you sometimes have to take into account someone’s personal style in weighing the accuracy of their reports. With Z, there is an exacting and excessive literalism in certain areas combined with its opposite—nebulous nonknowledge and precipitate conclusions—in others. Correspondingly, “Motte and Bailey” is his signature rhetorical approach. The staggered retreat from nebulosity to legalism is his method of waging war. It ought to be renamed “The Z-Maneuver.”
I also note with some “wry detachment” that Sailer seems to be having some minor meltdowns in his most recent threads. I can only hope that the accumulated weight of three years of abject failure to come to grips with the true dynamics of society—and having this pointed out to him by unenthralled commenters—is finally getting to him.

You make some interesting and insightful comments here. I would like to hear more in depth from you. Can you provide a link to your blog and podcast?

Simping for the un intelligent troll? Nice!
1
What some read as simping, others (me included) read as sarcasm. Unless I’m greatly mistaken, David Wright’s comment was firmly tongue-in-cheek rather than tongue-up-the-keister.
Thus all the upvotes.

Read Winter’s comment below. Can’t see blatant sarcasm I guess.

Don’t feed the troll.
ID is a nasty one at that. I suspect some sort of anti-social mental dysfunction not needed in this group. Note he goes from one extreme to the other. One day trying to impress with his (faux) knowledge of a subject, to the next day gratuitously insulting his blog host in order to get attention.
Don’t feed the retard.

This is akin to the woman who walks in front of a camera and screeches, “stop filming me!”

Classic ostentatious erudition. I dealt with such pretentious prose for too many years in the academic world, and I suppose I have lost patience with it. Notice the entire post could be phrased: “Z tends to only have a rambling preamble, and his conclusions seems perfunctory and hasty. He compounds this by veering wildly from vague recollection to striking precision. This tendency leads to untrustworthy conclusions, a motte-bailey rhetorical style. Also, I get off to Steve Sailer’s seeming loss of control.”
The OP may argue that his prose adds flair, but it does not. He is not Balzac. Nor does the style add nuance and precision. He is not Samuel Johnson. Nor is this some mood piece, where the substance is felt in the experience (e.g. “Hansel and Gretel”).
Though, to be fair to (In)Intelligent, I actually agree with his assertion: when Z does a show around one theme, as opposed to clearly produced and edited individual segments, the conclusion feels hasty and tacked-on – most of the podcast is setup. I still, however, enjoy the podcasts.
Framework seems to be Z’s method of thought. If you follow the blueprint he lays out in this form, the conclusion is foregone, in his mind. Most of the podcast is a process of narrowing and contextualizing.
Go back and watch Star Wars (1977) and notice there is zero attempt at “representation”. Just white people saving the galaxy.
My wife has finally picked up on the fact that I won’t watch the gays on HGTV. She’ll stream a program, I’ll listen to the guy talking or see the haircut and tell her, “lemme, guess, more gays?” And I just leave and she turns it off. Everything is gay, I joke, and I’m just not going to watch it. Don’t care.
Baseball has been hard for me to give up. Last year the World Series featured two teams with no black starters for the first time in decades. TBH, I enjoyed how upset the media was.

I wasn’t happy the Phillies ran out of gas 😀
Watched the clincher at the local watering hole. There was a respectable-looking family there introducing their daughter to toilet worship on her 21st. Final out, they cheer, I realize they’re Mets fans, so I tell them to go back to NY. It felt good lol.

Not that I spend a lot time at bars, but sports seem more watchable at them – probably because I can’t hear the commentators and commercials.
When I was a kid, my Dad would watch Celtics games with the volume off and Johnny Most on the radio.

Gay guys work in interior decorating?!?!
Who knew 🤷🏻♂️?

Remember when home improvement TV shows were Bob Villa explaining how to install attic insulation or Norm Abram building a table? Now it’s dumbed-down contrived drama — gays, women, and mystery meats arguing over paint color or whatever. Clearly, the target audience is wahmens.
Apart from air conditioning and indoor plumbing, I hate modernity.
Travel. I occasionally fly from Asheville or Greenville airport to Newark and back. The little airports in the Carolinas are almost completely staffed by friendly white people (except the TSA bottleneck). They are just pleasant – so is the Allentown airport in PA if I can find a flight there. Newark has new buildings, but it feels like trying to navigate a third-world bizarre. Everything is an expensive hassle.

In terms of media subversion if you arent watching Devon “Black Pilled” Stack on Odyssey, what are you even doing?
He’s pretty much the essential right wing media commentator.

Devon has some good insights but his boomer and jewish hatred is off the charts and mars his otherwise decent insights. Of course many here probably would disagree with me. So be it.

Devon Stack is good at lifting the hood to analyze movies,TV shows and documentaries to reveal the subversive content we’ve all been immersed in. His “PatCon” series was extremely good, and his relatively short “Defiant” video is a good one to share with your head-in-the-sand friends to show them the situation we’re now in.
1
When streaming became a thing, my old man would binge watch TV series that he only had a cursory interest. We’re talking 5-6 seasons, which probably adds up to 30+ hours of T.V. watching just to have something to talk about at work. I was perplexed with this at the time and still am, but this was an aspect of culture twenty years ago that is forgotten. People used to have common cultural experience where there were only a few TV stations and people watched more or less the same stuff.
It’s not like that anymore, and I would argue the reason you see the over-he-ttop diversity is to try to instill the same dynamic of everyone watching basically the same thing, even if there are a thousand shows. You could swap the actors and use chatGPT to write the script and have twenty “new” shows that are all the same thing. It’s essentially what we have now.
5
“…it does bring the risk of turning the dissident into someone incapable of feeling joy. You cannot watch a movie or television show without getting angry about the subversion.”
Well, one way to deal with this tis to watch old Clint Eastwood movies like “Dirty Harry.”
Another way is to feel joy by detaching from society — hunting, fishing, hiking, riding motorcycles.
15
There is also more and more dissident artifacts that is deserving of support. There’s more and more music, artwork. and literature written by people on our side.
No, you aren’t seeing our stuff on Netflix or multi-million dollar productions, but it would be amusing to go the water cooler and when they talk about sports, you tell them about the dissertation you read on Selective Breeding…. okay, maybe don’t do that.
The main focus of dissidents should be on their own media, and treat enemy media like it doesn’t exist.

Put on your Van Morrison albums. He and Clapton were the only high-profile artists that vocally and vehemently condemned the Covid stuff. In fact, the Northern Irish Health Minister is suing Van for badmouthing him. For an entry point, check out Van bringing down the house with “Caravan” on The Last Waltz.
You don’t pull no punches – but you don’t push the river.
1
Exactly, Xman! In fact, you can turn the TV and the streamers right off and STILL be the better for it. The only reason I keep a tenuous long distance relationship with the mainstream is so I know what my enemies are up to… and that’s it.
I too have lost most interest in tv sports. Golf is the exception maybe because it’s an individual game and the politics and other nonsense is less obvious. (I find LIV Golf fun to watch) I can peek at college football in very small doses. I find all the pro leagues just unwatchable now.
Politics is part of it. Following my son’s sports journey through school is part of it too. Nothing better than watching small town high school football games – the purest form of the sport with none of things I’ve come to hate about tv sports.
9
The biggest part for me has been the commercials. That is the one problem I have with LIV golf this year, they are on the CW, which shows all sorts of promos for their own degenerate shows because they are having trouble selling ad time. Going to try watching through their website directly.
2
Yes – I assume they’ll start putting commercials on their app, but they haven’t yet.

I heard somewhere the happiest people are those who expect the least. The plague years were probably the most disillusioning of my life, but I’m happier on the other end. Probably lowered expectations, but also I feel free to speak my mind.
11
“If you are not careful, you cut yourself off from your fellow citizens with regards to the popular culture….”
Ehhh? You’re saying that is a BAD thing, Z?
The sad truth is that most of the stuff out of Hollywood is crap, and almost always has been.
This lecture should be a cautionary tale to the dissident; politics is a game of incrementalism. I was getting banned off the old message boards and forums in the late 90s for saying that if Lefty let the queers out of the closet, in twenty years the pedos and other stripes of sexual perverts would be out too… and I was shouted down or censored. Our leaders got us here thinking that if a small dose of something is good, a bid dose is better.
I am now predicting racial genocides, or major race based atrocities right here in the US and Canada within the next 20 years. I see faggots flying off the rooftops, pedos going into the woodchipper, and liberal commies thrown from helicopters. Times will get interesting soon – in fact, they already are.
13
“I see faggots flying off the rooftops, pedos going into the woodchipper, and liberal commies thrown from helicopters.”
Don’t tease me with talk of utopia…
11
” I am now predicting racial genocides, or major race based atrocities right here in the US and Canada within the next 20 years. ”
Try the next 2 to 3 years.

I first took notice of the “Smart Black/Stupid White” commercials back in the late 1990’s. I’d probably been watching them for years but never noticed the message. Once I did, I found dozens, if not hundreds of them over time. I never once saw a reversal of these smart/stupid roles. The media brainwashing to make whites hate themselves and be ashamed of their ancestors used to be more subtle. Now it’s “in your face” and they don’t even care if some of us notice it and call them out on it. That’s because they’ve won and they know it.
8
The big redemption for the movie Die Hard and it’s super smart black hacker, street-wise black cabbie, and black cop with a heart of gold is when the FBI guys get blown up.
There is great utility in many old movies, even old movies that carry The Message. Most of those movies, even ones written by blacklisted writers under pseudonyms who were out for blood, feature mostly white casts. The actors—even the ones delivering their strident moral sermons—are not fat or slovenly and are dressed like adults. They’re not being lewd sexually and they are observing gender norms (i.e. reality.) It allows people to see that we once had more dignity, and understood there was such a thing as reality and society and moral obligation. Sometimes, when watching these movies with normies, I’ll feign a normie’s ignorance and just say, offhand, “Man, San Francisco used to be really white.” I can get away with that, because if someone checks me, I can shrug and say, “Hideously white.” Even with that antiwhite subterfuge/taqiyya dissembling on my part, there is liable to be someone in the room who thinks, “Yeah, it was too white…But it was so beautiful, and there were no junkies on the streets. Maybe it was better?” They’ll keep the thought to themselves, but I’ll have planted the seed.
I’m convinced that’s actually what white “liberals” get out of shows like “Madmen.” The women can pretend they’re watching it with an ironic sense of detachment, glad to have been liberated by feminism, but man…the men at least seemed like men back then. White guys are at least seeing white men doing something besides being demeaned by their wives and daughters (and matronly black women) in commercials for using the wrong stain remover or pain reliever.
Go to “PeriscopeFilm” on YouTube. Watch his old home movie footage of various American cities. Most of the comments are from normies saying it used to be beautiful when they were kids and has been ruined (“it” being Detroit, San Francisco, wherever.) They won’t tell you how or why it was ruined, but they at least know, and are admitting as much. Who knows how much they secretly know, how much they’re hiding even from themselves out of fear of having their Crimethink become public knowledge?
We’re daywalkers and open confrontation is suicide. It also does no good to come off as a grouch or a paranoid, as Z points out. I gave up on the “Reel Bad Whites” series of articles over at The Occidental Observer because I didn’t want to read a five-thousand word scholarly essay about how Jackie Mason in “Caddy Shack Two” represents the ascendant arriviste Jews pushing aside the old WASP country club set. Maybe he does, but I’m not watching “Caddy Shack Two” to confirm that.

I’ve been resolved to play almost exclusively Japanese video games at this point, which, yes, they often have a message that’s their own brand of “stupid” but at least it’s ignorable (imagine translating a leftist screed in Google translate from English to Japanese and back to English). Otherwise it’s HD remakes of games that were made in the “before times”

Interesting note, in the film noir movies, there are NO negroes except bartenders and waiters. Maybe the iq level required to be diabolical is too hard? Even Easy Rawlins had white help.

I just had a conversation with my lady about this. I am not watching TV anymore, and I won’t go to the movies. In July she asked me if I wanted to go to a play – Cathedral of Notre Dame. I told I would think about it. I immediately went to ensure the cast of this play set in 15th century France had only whites – maybe a legitimate Romano/Gypsy. Of course, there was one. As we hadn’t gone out to see culture in quite a while I decided what could be the harm. The night we attended happened to be night four of the anti-white, anti-French race riots of this summer.
We got to the Koch Center and it was like an airport. Of course, the place is funded and attended by those who have been the most ardent backers of TGR. There were security guards, gun/bomb/metal detectors and pat downs to get in. It was astounding that these people have no compunction, not the slightest twinge of unease, with living this way. It is as if it makes them feel special that they can go somewhere where security is at their behest. It is absolutely alien.
Inside I read the program and had instant regrets. In 15th century France the gypsy, criminal vagabonds were described as, “undocumented immigrants.” Many liberties were taken with the text. In the second act the negroid cast as a Gypsy literally pronounced that his war against the evil priests, church and France herself was a race war. The third act was the climax. There was the police crackdown where their tenements and crime centers were destroyed and the criminals and vagabonds were arrested. I was tempted to stand up and loudly clap and cheer. I composed myself. The very next tune was the climax. The vagabonds led by the negroid declared that someday they would return in the millions and claim the land for their own. The rousing climax was a tortuous near minute of cries for, “Amnesty! Amnesty! Amnesty!”
I stayed in my seat while the mostly foreign, (looked like a lot of East Asian tourists), clapped and the people for whom the center is built and run stood and whistled and clapped overjoyed.
I am not going to any other plays. First there is the economic support. I won’t pay for the propaganda that enables the subjugation, ethnic cleansing and ultimately genocide of my people in our homelands. The next is avoiding the rage these things rouse. The point of enjoying entertainment is to be entertained. The point of enjoying low-brow art like a musical is to be entertained and impressed by an excellent performance or two and some good production before a nice evening of cocktails and banter. The point of enjoying a concert or museum that features high art, is to be placed in awe, looking upward to the higher in a state of transcendence.
This agit prop doesn’t do that. I’ll only go to something now that is a high art form where the performer is one of our people, and I won’t look at the program. I seek out smaller productions and series over the corporate funded ones. It is even impossible to shop. I was in an Old Navy in a near 100% white town recently and you would have thought I was in Eritrea or Somalia by the brutal physiognomy of the photos save for the red haired young woman surrounded by gap toothed Somalis.
Well, I have riled up my angst. Of course, nothing makes me angrier than white people submitting to New Age unconditional love rites and lifestyle in the face of this onslaught.
As for my lady and I, I have set my boundary. No more TV, movies … We are playing cards, having more conversations, and as an accomplished musician I play for her more often. Our quality of life is going up. I think more of our people should support our kind who are making music, film … … We have many talented people out there, and being on the margins is conducive to a freedom to experiment and express that real talents can thrive in. Even just simple self entertainment is very empowering and even without the agit-prop, way more transcendent than passive watching/listening. We can take this as a way to constantly be agitated and in a rage, or use it to better ourselves and support some of our folk who might otherwise be ignored. As censored as the Internet is, you can find and enjoy anything made by anyone, and they can’t stop that.
A jewel I recently found and who I have been enjoying in the presence of my nieces and nephews is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IImakFsEHL8&t=563s

If you’re still living in a place where there are lots of Somalis and Eritreans, you need to move and get the hell out of there. Some day they’ll be at your door trying to kick it down. and if you shoot them the Democratic Communists who run the place will lock you up, not the ones who are the criminals.
6
I am not. My point was that I was in a near 100% white locale. But the stores photographs and models were all folk from the wilds of Africa with the most alien physiognomies.
8
I strongly advise against strolling past a Victoria’s Secret storefront. Looks like something out of Wild Kingdom circa 1967. Not so terribly long ago, I would have advised the opposite.
He’s talking about the giant mural-sized photos they always have in those places.
1
I have one more thing to add. The target of these shows is everyone, and like great propaganda it has an altogether different but desired affect on its targets. For non-whites it tells them they are the conquerors and the world is now theirs.
For white children it is to show them that they either have no place, or a place on the margins, and worst of all it is done to deny them their ancestral history by replacing their ancestors with alien people. That is pure evil.
ZMan has mentioned many times the importance of positive identity. Every time we see this stuff and get angry and upset, we should find some youth of our kind and expose them to the truth not via propaganda but via some direct experience. Buy some tickets to see a great classical musician who is of our folk and take a field trip or a small group from a local school or church. If you have young relatives put on Glenn Gould or an old symphony performance. After the cartoons, put on a video of the real America or of European art and history. There are many of them on YouTube.

I second the need to check the cast beforehand. We still attend touring musicals because they’re a historic part of our culture and are usually entertaining. But yes, due diligence has become a sad necessity.
A recent touring production of Anastasia featured a black woman in the lead role of the doomed Russian princess. How does this make sense? “Happily,” they squared the logic circle by having Czar Nicholas also played by a negro. We didn’t attend in spite of originally looking forward to it.
Anastasia was a real person. So was Nicholas. They were killed by the same group who promotes these race swaps, which makes the cultural vandalism all the more offensive. Youtube stories about the production had comments turned off. I wonder why that was.
While I’m at it, I’m also wondering why they never race-swap stories about Anne Frank.
Maybe some dead girls are more important than others?
12
Too bad Nolan didn’t cast Samuel L. Jackson as Oppenheimer…
It is impossible to disengage totally from the zeitgeist and what passes now for culture, but once you distance yourself as much as is possible, fleeting glimpses of the pervasive propaganda is galling. It is difficult not to get angry at those who are being ridiculed and marginalized and lapping it up, but, ultimately, they are victims, no matter how unsympathetic. I don’t necessarily believe the truth will out, but this degree of absurdity cannot stand very long, either. Something will give.

I tuned out of the pop “culture” in 1992. However, it is ubiquitous, and one can’t avoid it altogether. And, on those blessedly rare occasions I’m confronted with a sit-com, I am absolutely gobsmacked and appalled by the filth that is now promulgated, and the utter lack of wit. As awful as it was in 1992, it is far worse now, and I didn’t think that possible.
Z – have you seen thunderbolt and lightfoot. I think it’s a good movie for people who think westerns are square. You could call it a “modern western”
2
Great buddy/road/heist movie as well.
Bridges was fantastic in his big screen debut, and Cimino’s ability to convey the big, open beauty of Montana is a testament to his directorial acumen.
George Kennedy’s character was a nasty piece of work. At any rate, most films in which Eastwood is involved are worth seeing.
Another good one…The ’70s were a great time for good un-woke movies…
1
” If you are not careful, you cut yourself off from your fellow citizens with regards to the popular culture….”
During the fake pandemic I started removing from my little world the stupid people, also known as POS, because I also ended up noticing lots of other things about their character I had a low opinion of. I have found that my personal happiness and tranquility have jumped several levels since then.
I’ve pretty much accomplished my disassociation, including the Russia ! Russia! fucktards in my own family. I don’t miss them at all. They always were stupid assholes.
Before the collapse of the American Empire is complete, you will consider any Democrat, neoconservative, and uni-party apparatchik to be on the level of septic tank sludge, and will immediately notice improvement in your own sanity once you disassociate from them. All of them. Some day there will be none in your life, especially after they decide that we’re all “traitors” and that they need to eliminate us for “our own good.”
Those days are coming, and i don’t think it will take much longer.
15
I imagine I’ve always had certain misanthropic tendencies, but the pathetic, ovine response of the masses to Covid1984 drove the final nail into my respect for the human race. I’m a more isolated man than I used to be, but am also more clear-eyed.
As an aside, I often wonder if humanity was always as degraded and stupid as it is now. I think not. And, if people were more worthy of respect in the past, they could be again in the future. That’s about the limit of my optimism.
3
For all the pain and distress caused by losing one’s cultural touchstones from the past and present, it helps to see the silver lining in all of this: such things no longer have the power to maze our thinking. What was lost was not worthy in the first place and it frees us to pursue better. One element markedly missing from modern lives is positive group athletics (especially for men) and social clubs (both men and women). The modern workday habituates all of us to ever more sedentary and force-fed recreation. Let us do what we do best: be creators of new forms of conviviality and fellowship unblemished by the Agenda.
9
Also, find a local shooting range. Bring the wife (occasionally) and the kids (as much as possible).
Be sure to go for a hike before/ after.
2
The old movies were not our culture any more than a Hollywood feature today is the culture of the Chinese, even though the movie may do well in China. They enjoy the movie fully understanding that it’s not China’s culture. The movies are foreign entertainment no matter where they are produced. They are no more our culture than the endless holocaust films and books. If we made a movie about God, it wouldn’t be with a Jew or a black playing God. There are some books and movies that are ours, but most are not.
3
Hence a return to movies like The Outlaw Josie Wales and True Grit….
4
It all depends, of course. With almost no exception, movies made this century are not “ours.” However, in the 20th century–and particularly prior to the 90s–there are a fair number of films that are free of anti-white propaganda and subversion. They’re certainly in the minority, but they do exist. My four favorite films–Fail-safe, Deliverance, No Country for Old Men, Amadeus–are all perfectly congenial viewing for the dissident.

1
While DELIVERANCE is indeed a superb movie, it demonstrates that, even by the early 1970s, White southerners could be depicted in the crudest manner imaginable. Would it have been remotely possible to portray any other demographic in such a demeaning fashion without risking a considerable backlash? Whites have long been the lone acceptable target for the harshest of stereotypes.

Does anyone know who does the hiring for actors in commercials? Whomever they are, they seem to think we live in Africa. We don’t.

I suspect every corporation has a marketing wing that works with advertising firms to come up with their TV ad campaigns. And it’s safe to say that both groups are foursquare on the desire to exclude whites except to the extent they are depicted in mixed relationships with nuggras. Selling product and service, alas, is far less important in these campaigns than is pushing the anti-white racist agenda.

What’s the solution to that? Is it to nationalize all the ad agencies?
“To nationalize all the ad agencies?”
Nope.
The solution is to nationalize our GOVERNMENT, and everything else will just fall into place.
I don’t know the solution, but it’s a pleasure to see these commercials on youtube overwhelmingly ridiculed in the comment section. It’s getting to the point where the commercials are becoming cringey cliches. Always be pointing and laughing at this crap!
A classic example of the dissident culture of critique, as it were, is my viewing of The Magnificent Seven (1960). Early in the film the nasty old racists of some western town refuse to allow “Injun Joe” to be buried in the town cemetery with white folk. Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen then intervene on the side of goodness and light. They say hookers and killers are buried in that cemetery, so why not an Injun, whereup they procede to integrate the cemetery on pain of possible death for anybody who attempts to stop them. As they are transferring Injun Joe to the boneyard, the viewer hears somebody bawl out, “Injun lover!” Very subtle, huh?
Here is an early instant of the pathologization of freedom of association. I see no reason whatsover whites–or negroes, or Indians–shouldn’t be free to have their own cemeteries if that’s what they want. But the Hollywood Finkels, very early on, thought otherwise, and used their considerable cultural power to stigmatize the entirely normal desire to live, socialize, die and rest in peace among one’s own.
Great movie, The Magnificent Seven, but this single odious scene taints the rest of the film for me.

In my part of this forlorn world, the Jews have their own cemeteries.

Great movie, but terrible story:
1. Try to save small town from bad guys;
2. Accept honorable defeat when beaten by bad guys;
3. Sneak back into town and murder bad guys.
Never saw Magnificent Seven, but Seven Samurai (on which it’s based) might be my favorite film. It sounds like Hollywood bastardized it. Shocking.
Good show Z, in my life seeing how the world really works changed everything, the first step was a bit of anger at the subversion and just how long the subversion has been ran on us, then it’s thinking I must wake others up to our situation, which is true, but the danger is being consumed by just how far gone our culture is now and it can make me look more negative to outsiders than maybe I really am.
Getting together with other dissidents encourages me but I have kinda of come to the conclusion that in most circumstances it’s going to be a lonely endeavor the rest of my life and I must prepare myself for it, the way I am going to prepare myself is pulling back from the current culture and it’s world when the opportunity arises and as you said find some joy in the little things of life.
