‘I was told I had a gay car!’: Have ‘culture wars’ got out of hand? | LBC callers 

I have an autism diagnosis as well, I think I agree that I would be a carrot too, especially a nice crunchy raw one.

I'm ADHD and I'd like to be a beetroot

Exactly. Can't blame the country's major problems on an outgroup if the problems aren't there anymore.

I like carrots.

Rob Schneider is a carrot

Fear and ignorance.

@@Ricimer671 sure, although I think that the bias is towards ignorance.

I guess it makes sense, people fight and fear what they don't know or have. Have no culture? Great, let's fight culture wars

Yeah the left have got a lot to answer for.

They’re the ones most threatened by it

Those doing the distracting are those driving it from the top and behind the scenes with huge amounts of money. Their goal is personal enrichment and power. The vile people are those supporting.

Probably a bit of both, mate

@@icedreamer9629 100%

Back in the 90s and 2000s no one had a problem but the left has now stoked up the diversion when it wasn't even there.

It can be, of people are afraid and angry at the immigrants, the LGBTQ folk and others they aren't usually looking at the growing wealth inequality, the corruption in politics and the rich using it to get richer at the expense of everyone else.

especially during the FA Cup!⚽😁

Diversity brings division, look at political diversity, the far left and right cant come together and work together, they both hate each other. look at culture diversity, there are cultures out there that oppress women and LGBT community. if you want less division you want less diversity as you want more people people on the same page. People with same views same cultures are less divided and will happily get along.

No, it's diversity. Ask the girls in Rochdale and Rotherham

@@stephenmurray8559 dont wait for the left to speak about that

@@stephenmurray8559 I would have thought the paedophilia was the bigger issue in the Rochdale case rather than the perpetrators’ ethnicity or religion, but I guess I’m just a big woke sjw like that.

So to be clear you are saying no religion, right?

*deluded

you don't hate anything?

yes the left are full of hate

@@MC-br1gk your attempt at wisdom has failed dismally. Try harder 😅

Then: trainspotting.🥳 Now: trans-spotting.☹️

This is ultimately the outcome of it. Hateful people use this as a way to attack anyone they feel isn’t fitting their ideal of gender roles. As a trans person myself it’s been baffling to watch the “we can always tell” crowd repeatedly get it wrong and attack others. I suppose they actually can’t always tell… It’s almost like all of our bodies are different and the way all of us want to express ourselves may vary, too.

They only attack because they lack intelligence.

​@@viviaesSarsen Cool. Live your life in peace and security and keep out of spaces that are not for you.

@@peanutbutterbruv go away, hater.

fear of the other, its an ingrained Primate trait.

@@beecee2205 And so easily manipulated. We should focus on those groups that do the manipulation: churches/religions, media and sports teams.

@@beecee2205 But with that you say, that some people have really been eveolved to civilisation state yet?

​@@MC-br1gkI'm media. Most media are local - only some are the nauseating tabloid far right lot.

People are more comfortable surrounded by those similar. Unfortunately people see different cultures as divisive.

In that case the male equivalents could be Robert Jenrick for the slippery Matt Gaetz and Lee Anderthal's vulgarian counterpart would be Jim Jordan.

@@clivecosta-correa2102 That's Gym Jordan just so you never forget what he let happen on his watch

Yep, both are absolutely batshit crazy as well 😂🤣👍

It even crept into the SNP with Joanne Cherry and she done exactly what you said when she lost her seat. Spot on.

This is the biggest problem conservatism is facing globally - it's really easy for people to see that it never does what it claims to. It never results in a smaller state, lower taxes, or greater individual wealth. It's simply the ideology of a ruling class, perpetuated by nothing more than their desire to rule.

Very wholesome.

Fantastic comment

I tried pointing out the influence of Mr Bannon to my friend's but they voted Reform anyway. Life long Labour voters, voted for an ex-Tory Party Chairman 😅

​@@notyourordinarygranIt is just mindblowing how easily many people are bamboozled and then convinced to vote against their own interest.

No one has a problem with it but it's the same with everything else, if something is overexposed it gets tiresome for the people who are not involved in it. Think coloured police cars, road crossings, council erected flags everywhere etc etc, there's no need for it.

@@user-yb9ww6lv7j Sounds like you do have a problem with it. Why do those things bother you so much? There is a point about hollow platitudes coming from governments and corporations. But that is a separate argument and not the one Braverman and her ilk are making.

@@1porter The community can do what they like, I have no problem with that, It's when companies, establishments, governments are joining in with it when they don't do it for 100s of other issues. Braverman isn't against this, she is against the extremists of the group, who we know have taken it too far and is now following an ideology.

You lot are never satisfied! 😜

It is the "look a squirrel" tactic and sadly it works too often and people easily get bamboozled.

Distraction, distraction

Or Prue Leith’s half baked son……

Well, the first two were experts in their field so would have posed a threat to modern populist dogma. As for Batey, I think you'd find that Ed Sheeran sells more records and is therefore definitively better.

@@Maltloaflegrande I had never heard Sheeran was autistic, checked on Google just now, he´s said to have a lot of the traits but nothing confirmed.

@@Minimmalmythicist He's not autistic as far as I know. I was attempting (possibly not very well) to satirise an attitude taken by less discerning people that sales figures are the main way to validate someone's worth as an artist.

Reform demographic are "low-info" voters, not the sharpest tools in the shed and haters. Mostly white men.

@@Maltloaflegrande He's not autistic he just looks like that via pure english genetics, i know its not nice to look at but oh well

@GiratinaofFury 👆👆👆👆 This is what ideology does kids. A person like this will never be satisfied, if you bend over backwards to accommodate you'll be bending the wrong way to them.

Hate crime.... this right here is why there is a culture war... the self entitlement is baffling

Not irrelevant if women are being threatened and abused

​@@user-jy8bt9uz7fYou're making "if" do a lot of heavy lifting there.

Not as empty as those who discriminate against them based on tabloid propaganda

Are the bed-wetting brigade still crying about Reform?! 😏

True.

Austin, grrrrrr,.., don't get me started on the Austin Montego

My auntie had one of them.

That's a awesome retro car.

Had one once from new and a cylinder went within a year. They disappeared from the roads pretty quickly.

Ridiculous. The Fiat 500 on the other hand…

Your spelling is almost perfect! "Kinder, Kirche und Küche" which translates to "children, church and kitchen" and as you said was the political slogan to what a woman should only care about. Greetings from Munich

@@frankstollar8492 i love your umlaut

To me it’s another word for Progressive. The right wing press have dragged the word through the mud.

I certainly can't explain why "woke" is bad, but as someone who has been described as woke for reasons including, but not limited to; driving an EV, having solar panels installed, not liking golf, reading a Richard Osman book, and ordering a vegetarian option at a business lunch; I've had loads of fun asking people who use the word "woke" exactly what they mean by it. Like James says in the video, they simply can't explain, but they do get upset if you keep pushing for an answer! 😂 Personally I'd say it's used to describe anything they're afraid of, with change being the main one.

@@garysmith5025 my guess is a room full of woke people would get on, have fun, and in the majority enjoy life, and whatever the opposite of woke is people would argue how best to bully as many as they could. And more importantly never listen.

Woke is about being aware of social injustice. Ergo the only people who can be opposed to woke are people who enjoy social injustice

@@Coelacanth1 No, woke isn't about social injustice, woke creates more social injustice

Or is that the Freddie Kruger effect?

At this point, they're flinging pasta at the wall and seeing what sticks. It reminds me a lot of the satanic panic back in the 90s. Everything that was different or off was secretly evil and plotting against you and your family. 30 years later, the subject matter changes, but the tactic used remains the same. I suspect every generation will have to face something as ridiculous as this at some point.

Well, it's the attempt of the conservative (USA term) side to turn stereotypes into law

No one ever accused culture warmongers of not being lazy.

Yep like the stereotype of reform voters 🤔

Yeah through driving a Prius, it is assumed you have a care for the environment in which you live.

@@Coelacanth1 Yep there is a large part of the culture war rightwing nuts who see environnementalisme or just caring about the environment as woke... Cause real men polute and drive Ford F-150s apparently...

I learned that from my catechism when I was four or five “Q. Who is my neighbour? A. Your neighbour is everyone.” If 5 year old me got it then why can’t the gammons?

Yeah, like all the left did.

The only people waging the culture wars are on the right

And that’s a bad thing?

He’s a fool for falling Into the trans bathroom nonsense

Starmer’s transphobic? Are you sure about that?

​@@cHFBbPhobic of other human beings because they are different is always bad.

Yoghurt is the answer.

It doesn't count as autism if you never get diagnosed and abuse your spouse like most reform voters.

Expect that they have monstrous opinions, not even remotely backed by fact, so...

There is no "open and honest discussion" to be had with right wingers.

That's the problem, the people pushing the culture wars don't want an open and honest discussion, for if there was the lies will be exposed and that will be the end of the culture wars

The issues that need action are not the ones covered by culture wars. Those are simply deployed as a distraction from the serious issues such as climate, economy and peace.

@@django3422 Climate has been a culture war issue for ages, and peace/war has been one of the biggest this past year. Calling a march for peace on armistice day a hate march for example.

Plenty of sparrows visiting my garden for food.

Farridge?

"If at first you don't succeed, try the same joke again but flip the subjects and don't worry that it still doesn't make sense"

@@django3422 What does not make sense? That in July 23 they removed my driver licence and offered a medical license but I would have had to agree to take a blood test when I drove and for every 2 hours there after and I would also have to have insulin. I have never been given a blood glucose machine nor ever been prescribed insulin. Ever since then I have been trying to get them to overturn their decision and when they realise I am not insulin dependent I still had to buy a driver's license and they refused to refund me for it. When I gain access to the independent assessor they did not contact me to determine what my complaint rather appraised the procedures of the DVLA. They also made a claim that the licence fee was waived, I suppose the credit card statement showing I paid for it would be a lie to you too. And throughout the process they would email me an encrypted letter attachment but without the requisite to encrypt it. The email would be from a do not reply email. And when you lodge a complaint again. I have had conversations telling me I have a licence then I am told I have not others in which it's being held by. Specialist team but they do not express who that is (medical team who do not take calls). When you phone them they enquire how my day is and on one occasion. LBGTQQIAAM stuff If you provide your email I could provide a copy of the correspondence

Btw overturn is code for compensation for the months that I was not legally allowed to drive despite meeting the criteria to do so

@@greamespens1460 Cool story.

@@django3422 I have even written to Steve Baker MP who is the former minister of the DoT. There is also a parliament body but will require my own MP to bring it to their attention.

Rich lost.

Ew

Hardly contentious, trans people have been around about as long as culture has

@@kingflynxi9420 I'm telling you mutilating kids is contentious. I for one oppose you on the matter.

Nah Edward, haha flippin Edward

​@@kingflynxi9420Most of these culture wars "issues" are just different pockets of vulnerable people who just want to be left alone to live their lives. Imagine being so confident and comfortable in your own skin you'd have to be to make the combating of these people your entire lifes work. Sounds pretty miserable to me.

@@Edward-cv2gw that’s not happening.

Are you comparing being a leave voter to being treated as a second class citizen? Maybe you should knock on your head and check if there's anything rattling around in there.

"Demonisation of Leave voters..." Just say it: Brexit voters.

Thank about what you have just said 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

You mean as apart from the demonisation of 'Remoaners' at the time?

Unlike the demonisation of 'Project Fear' and 'Remoaners'? Smh.
