Our Parasitic New Elite Despises the Working Class. Culture Wars & The Decline of the West. 

Do you believe in Christ Lord Jesus, the western countries believed in that, if Charles Darwin was alive today he won't believe his theory of evolution on the basis of know about human DNA we have today. When you abandon Christianity anything and everything takes over. Who created the red cross, William booth a believer in Christianity, how did nursing start? By a Christian woman called Florence Nightingale. You forgot your God and your history, then you get what you deserve, period. There is no rocket science in that.

I agree, but they that sit above and those that sit below forget that those in the middle are holding them all up. Moral of the story, never bite the hand that feeds you 😅

I have always hated the affluent middle classes- the plantation overseers for which the ruling class would not be in power without them.

Back in 1977 I gained a place at a Russell Group university to study Biological Sciences. I was a working class girl from a comprehensive. Within 2 weeks I knew I had made a mistake, it was like moving to another planet, these, I thought, are the people I would have to study and work with, the thought appalled me. I left at the end of the first year and joined a High Street bank, worked with my own but as I moved up the ladder found people just as inhuman as the students I had known 15 years before, so I left there too and became a mum. The elite are few, as you say, it is their minions in the bureaucracy that enable them who are contemptible.

University people can be among the most stupid , I learned this fact working for similar people as a builder for fifty years 😊

This is true - some guy on this channel once stated that the working class still felt respect for the (soi-disant) elite. I wrote back pointing out that we don't just hate the elite as much as they hate us. WE HATE THEM MORE. BTW I'm looking for second-hand tumbrils on Craig's list, if you know what I mean.

Perhaps, but isn't it the *threat* of dismantling this new corrupt hegemonic traditionalism that could bring about the most change for a better democracy? It seems Google owns as much of GB as it does the US, as we are controlled by a pre-programmed algorithm from the second grade onward in both public and private schools, and as voters, we are limited in access to alternative views by a similar algorithm. The monopoly that exists to control Western thinking is preposterous in the extreme in my opinion, and there is no algorithm to identify those politicians who illegally dip into the pot.

Do you mean by "civilization" the one based on warmongering, slave trade, colonialism, and the destruction of god knows how many other cultures? 🤨💀

This is simply not true. Some aristocratic societies e.g. during the French empire or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were supporting the working class. An example - during the French revolution there was a counter revolution in Vendée, a movement that was initiated by the so called 'working class' to save their King and Aristocracy, obviously they were brutally squashed by the apostles of 'Liberté, égalité, fraternité' and removed from history classes on purpose, and the 'Ancien regime' demonised to the extreme. As the matter pertains to the PLC, the neighboring countries literally wrote propaganda pieces, and fabricating stories of that country and society 'backwardness'. Obviously not mentioning continuous migration of serfs and peasants from Prussia and Russia to PLC precisely because the living conditions for the working class were light-years better than in those two countries. E.g. Russian tsardom actively tried to prevent russian serf, escape to PLC. There is quite good research/book on this topic: 'Peasant flight to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the eighteenth century' by Gornostaev. What the two examples above have in common, is that these countries/cultures were Catholic, where the culture enforced by the Church prevented an outright extreme exploitation of the working class. With the protestant revolution, obviously that 'check' was removed on purpose. Few centuries forward and you are where you are.

@@Aengrod just because there were some exceptions, it doesn't make it "simply not true". For example if some countries are ruled by monarchies, it doesn't mean republics don't exist. The topic of discussion focused on the UK where hatred by the elites and well off for the working class most definitely does exist. Your argument is a straw man.

@@austincromwell ah, but it is. The topic is 'the decline of the west', arguably of which UK is no longer member of arguably since 17th century (with the embrace of protestantism by the UK ruling elites). It is well known and understood (among serious academic scholars) that elites are formed by culture, which is formed by religion. UK needs to finally realise that it is a heretical society top to bottom. Its current predicament is of its own making.

Yet they wouldnt last more than 48 hours without the working class as nothing runs properly without them and these elitists wouldnt have a clue on their own.

Bring the guill*tines out!

Most important comment on here^

It should. And our own people, by that I mean indigenous but of a different class, are our biggest enemies. And conversely working class people especially the young have become malleable like never before, drunk on fashion of thought, fad, all delivered via social media.

That's right.

They don't want the working class to form a clear identity. In the UK, that might be primarily a white identity, but what the elites are really attacking is any reminder that there are more of us than there are of them.

Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh in the US now talk about the anti white rhetoric but the conversation here is sorely lacking. The ‘I’m not racist’ cap in hand submission still has to be performed before any white person talks about the general culture of white hatred 😢

"Elite" must have come into fashionable usage in ignorant confusion with "effete."

How about calling then "Carrion Elites" or "Vulture Elites", or "Leechlites".

Leeches. Spot on. That sums up every single MP.

I totally Agree! The Rulers are beggars and thieves, they steal from the poor and elderly and live off the working people. The Rulers in the collective West are parasites which make them SCUM on every level.

I think that we are watching the end game of the Long March of the new Marxists who since the sixties and seventies when the violent Marxist struggle realised that they couldn’t achieve their goals through terrorism, they moved to infiltrate society via the education and civil service routes in the slowly slowly catchy monkey fashion. Seems it worked well. I am dubious that it can be reversed without violence. 😢

As a former museum director in the U.S., I can tell you this trend started to accelerate dramatically around 2008. By 2011, I had to leave or turn into a zombie. The funders, large NGOs, drove the agenda very aggressively. The one that pays the bills gets what they want.

Wealthy kids in art school think they'll get the brand name diploma and be put on a pedestal no matter what they do. They just think they should be considered "creative" and make tons of money.

@@terrorists-are-among-uswealthy art school kids don't have to think, they're wealthy.! Even if they completely flunk art school they're guaranteed a career in the arts. Just look at the 'artists' being pushed by the commercial galleries, it's clearly a case of who you know. Plus it's got to the stage now where only the wealthy/upper middle classes have the luxury to be able to afford to sit in a studio and produce artwork.

But that’s the very essence of humanity. How the world has been built . In ten years they have dismantled 8 thousand years of culture

you just have to watch sporting events like the recent games in the Euros all players have a massive pride in their countries, this is not going to end well

Governments in the west will hand over their mandate to govern, albeit badly, to the WEF, WHO, and the UN. Soon, there won't be any sovereign nation states, but some nations, especially Russia, will resist the tyrannical NWO. Russia is the last remaining Christian nation, where wokes, cancel culture, transgenderism, multiculturalism, does not exist. That says a lot about the so called "free western world", which will soon no longer exist. Russia is the country being demonised by the neo liberal elites and the main stream media. It's not about Ukraine which is a proxy war for the "benefit" of NATO's expansion, it's about Russia's rejection of the NWO with unelected bureaucrats controlling nations.

Watch the movie "Things to come" based on HG Wells work. Pre WW2, it has the line "independent nation state? We don't approved of independent nation states"...said by the protagonist who then orders his comrades to drop the "gas of peace" onto the inhabitants of this independent state and suppresses them so that they can be incorporated into a massive trading state run out of Basra...

Exactly. True. Tyrants dismantling Sovereign nations.

I believe the suicide has happened - all that's happening now is the rotting of the corpse as it swings in the wind!

Multiculturalism doesn't work

They love to import cheap labour ( eg Polish plumbers )

They also hate the fact that children of the working classes, who have learned a useful trade like plumbing, are earning more money than their kids, who have come away with useless degrees in gender or international studies.

The young have been indoctrinated to believe that a university education is the only way to get ahead in the world for a couple of decades now. Manual labour has been frowned upon and it's left a massive hole in this country's ability to take care of the basics of plumbing, electricity supply and building. We've had to import specialists from abroad, and yes, I class people who can do these things as specialists because of the training required to be skilled. Years ago we had apprenticeships but the govts of the day stopped helping companies provide them and so they fell away.

@@angelmessenger8240 You can thank Tony Blaire for the emphasis on University education. His idea everyone needed a degree to get on in the world. Manual skills went by the wayside.

I am/was a skilled and highly trained engineer, but 20 or so years ago working in the telecoms industry I saw sales people making huge money but systems engineers like me were left to answer the tenders and deal with difficult technical questions from customers. I realised that in our culture there is zero respect for engineers of any type until, as you say, you need to make something work !

He was born here, his family came and did well. He is educated, a family man, someone who advanced in is career. All Conservative values. Where's the evidence his loyalty lies elsewhere. Why wouldnt the leader of our nation take advantage of a connection he (and the UK) have with an emerging economic power? Rishi didn't screw the Tories.... That was Boris.

Sunak is an out and out globalist. Not only did the public not vote for him, but neither did the membership of the Conservative party. He's a fifth columnist.

@@chuck275 Really? Tebbit was only joking about his Cricket test, was he? Would Rishi, pass the Cricket Test? There he is, he has his Indian wife, he has his Indian Parents and Parents in law around. It's England vs India. Frankly I would be surprised if they were talking in English. I think he absolutely would be supporting India. Rishi is so committed to England that he has a US Green Card and imported his wife from the homeland. Is the man who lost his leadership election any more legitimate than a British Governor of India who was born in India and sent home for his wife?

No, he didn't. He is just preaching to the disenchanted choir which gulps it all down like a pelican.

Similar to historians saying that the first industrial revolution led to the rise of the bourgeoisie and the decline of the aristocracy when in fact most of the mines and many of the railway companies were owned by the titled (who were also the main beneficiaries of the canal building and land drainage).

Deracination is the word you are looking for. Human Resources that have no connection with the country, culture who are then easily controlled to reduce costs and maximise profits and it’s happening all over the West. Having exported its Manufacturing East it now takes people from the East and South to service the service economy. To keep profits up they have to pay in work benefits to maintain the illusion of the proposition to immigrants and the working class. So we won’t be having any tax cuts soon and our borrowing will rise as the doors are left open. One thing is for sure the availability, accessibility and quality of those service will continue to head South in a room loop. As of 2022 the ONS reported it now costs £16580 per person per year to fund all government services. An immigrant on £20k a year will pay little over £50 a week in tax and NI but the cost per capita is over £300.🙄. Plus there’s our own indigenous unemployed ?

I think part of the problem is atleast in my country that sosialization to this model of thinking starts in very early age and is 2 years of preschool +9 of primary school +3 of highschool+4 years of college. That is very long period of socialization. I think Ted Kachinsky wrote a good critique piece of the liberal left and why it's almost cult like. Despite being criminal he had an IQ of 167, his critique despite his deeds is a worthwhile read. Also there have been studies about creativity where most of two year olds start as creative geniouses but that percentage is just 2% when the same test is measured in college. The red pen teaches us how to think, the longer one sits to learn that, the harder it is to think outside the box. Then again to understand how the machine works one needs know about history, economics and psychology and have a wide variety of general knowledge of the society and how it functions. Most of the degrees go towards understanding one issue and having the latest top knowledge of that issue, but the person on top of their topic might not understand the broader picture as they've focused on one thing. Daniel Kahneman's book 'Thinking fast and slow' is an important book as it explains how our thinking is formed and how it is affected. Then lets add the social media which teaches us what opinions we should have through like systems and what we see through what algorithms promote. It is quite a mix of things. The saddest part is that in general these ideas that have been weaponized have bern bettering the society at one point. Then it turned overboard like we can see from cases like Brand. Yes, he was an obscene drug addict twenty years ago and indeed was quite horrible to women. But he has not been criminally charged but persecuted by media. Without due process these accusations remain as such and are from anonymous women. UK MP went ahead and asked platforms to demonetize him based on allegations. Rumble published that request. No matter how one looks at it, the once good movement meetoo is being abused and used in govermental over reach. One can just fathom what did they not like in Brand. To me it is quite obvioius that the anti-establisment voices are being targeted on purpose. Like Assange.

Not the return of the death penalty given our injustice system, it would be directed against the working classes with little to do with justice. The government is introducing a new law in support of carbon net zero, the latest scam, where the police could arrest, criminally charge someone for lying about having a log burner, and sentence them to up to a year in prison. The government desiring to force people to spend £15000 that they haven't got, to buy a heat pump. The death penalty would be a weapon to be used by the elites against the working class. We also have a situation were the legal system has been arresting and charging people for silently praying, you think it is a good idea to leave these people, this system, our government to legitimately introduce the death penalty? It would be the MPs and other elites, who would really merit it, but they would use it against their enemies, and people who would wish to hold them accountable for their actions.

Yeah, like that ever worked... It seems poverty get worse and worse in England each time rules for getting benefits are tightened. Also, off course you totally ignore any power private employers have over people. Like, the government do not tell you to use adult diapers at work rather than take toilet breaks.

Certainly agree. Though I'd say that these power/money hungry agencies have been hard at work for decades now. They are often quite useless... Parasites on people's confusion and misery. None of this huge helping industry would have been called into existence if governments had treated people fairly from the off.

fine arts education in Europe is all about networking and bullshiting. the craft out of the arts is snubbed and looked down upon as redundant and anachronistic. If there was ever a point and a scientific approach to art education and the material and processes involved it is completely neglected in our schools. I was aware of that even before i get my degree and even more so when i hit the market and start participating in exhibitions and galleries, but i never knew how much harm it has done to me until after i saw what people from a more traditional background from other parts of the world were doing. I attest that if your art is more important to you than social credits and laurels the solution is to set your own goals, self educate and if possible get off the gallery market and work free lance or with a small group of clients, provided that you can afford it. As a side note, i remember during my days of schooling and later in the galleries and museums, an overwhelming number of works involving all kinds of pulverized materials and dusts, ashes, sands, gravels. I used to think that it had more to do with the accessibility and ease of use of these types of materiel but the more i come to think about it the more i like to think that there is a psychological statement projected on these which has a lot to say about the structural integrity of our value system.

You got into the wrong place? There is so many art academy in which this isn't the case. Every school usually have portfolio and you can understand what you will study beforehand. The greatest problem maybe is that most of the exhibition and the culture noise is still revolving around the woke-liberal art, but you can just take this opportunity to distinguish yourself better.

But to my defence, i did not know any better, had no guidance either, and i had allready spent most of my early 20s acquiring a degree on chemistry which i hated and had to serve in the military too.

The strive of beautification have ended around post-impressionism, the viewer's ability to lift the veil of conventional ugliness and discover new beauty and meaning is quite interesting, sometimes a little demanding if you aren't conditioned. Nobody have stopped to create their own thing, just the language of expression in art have gone larger.

@@EliasTsakmakis problem is, art - unlike let's say chemistry is not a fixated method, because it's you who have to create the elements and the atoms. There is simply not a single philosophy or method that will fit all. I was the reverse of you - the art schools in my country are directly influenced by the Russian academic education. And I was rather interested in digital and harsh electric arts, audio-visuals, glitch art. My younger me didn't fit there either - and the professor was dismissive of my computer strives. In the end even in this type of school it's again solely up to you to build some skills and visions. Remember impressionist? They were leaving and rioting the art academy as well, but because of the extreme conservatism. Van gogh is completely self-taught, and this is his charm - the unique perspective he was able to acquire.

Yes, I agree.

Agreed, something as simple as a pamphlet would be ideal, something that can be handed out and discussed in person, that can’t be digitally censored

I think Communism (in through the backdoor), is more what the current threat resembles.

It's easy to find out which side of the political divide people are on. If they are on the left and don't like something it is Fascism and if they are on the right and don't like something it is Communism.

Welcome, you're amongst friends now Mary.

Oi vey!
