Simply superb.
Great folk interviewees/discussion.
Well conducted indeed.
We imo, need more of this, all over the place.
Many thanks from downunder oz, where we muddle along, standing on our hands and conservatism in the sense of this discussion is frowned upon and regarded as the pursuit of old has beens.
Australia is fast becoming a state run country.
Socialist governments wean folk off jobs and put them on the dole and keep them there, whatever the rhetoric.
In Australia it's been socialism all the way since the mid seventies, no jobs, public servants running everything and worst of all, leftism in a monopoly school system.
Public servants running the ABC, a huge extreme left think tank
Public servants running councils, no burning trees, hence the bushfires now, due to greener and greener extremism.

Men's lives don't matter.
If men acted on that realistic observation, the world would stop in its tracks.
Men are used to being underdogs, so they 'soldier' on.
The fact that 'feminists' start to devour each other in the race for 'exclusive inclusion', is not surprising.
Until it is understood that human relations are not a legal, union, or public matter, but a matter of deeply personal relations, there will be an enormous amount of animosity and hot air mixing into a foul storm.
Marx was correct, in that envy, mistrust and dissent will destroy any group, feminism proves this point.

Diversity really comes down to individualism. Each individual is a diversity.
Having more or less ignorant folk, setting out what human diversity is comprised, sounds absurd.
A fully diverse situation must accept the fact that each and every of us, of the global 8 billion, are a diversity of one, divided by 8 billion.
Woke culture has an overweeningly hubristic approach to folk and what generally, folk will warm to.
I encourage woke culture to speak up, present itself widely and fully, so that we may inspect it and make our personal judgments.
Come on out of the shadows woke culture, come out of hiding in cushy institutions, come out and show your social credentials.
The modern term WOKE stands for 'Willfully Objecting to a Knowledgeable Explanation'.
The older genuine term 'woke' originated in the 1940s and refers to Negro Americans being aware and awake to their socially inferior position, which Martin Luther King fixed in the 1960s.

It's not left, nor Communism, nor 'woke', it is a vain and in vain attempt to control the social world, without knowing the roots of power, which is knowledge and a very deep and skilled one at that.
It is a seething discontent, an envy of what these folk cannot, perhaps ever have, and that is satisfaction and a disregard for the silly judgement of others.
It completely riles the rattled woke, that there are normal, little folk who can have, for themselves and in their world, a quiet, sincere and innocent pleasure of simply being themselves.
The entire preoccupation with what others may be thinking and judging and doing, is so fixating that all else goes out the window.
It is a mania, and an acute one, and yes there will be all sorts of repercussions, but the best one can do is to carry on with one's life, however humble and humbled that may be, ignoring the madness of the deluded crowds.
It will end, and the crash will be deafening, as the 'victims' of themselves, devour themselves.
Hint, don't listen or even try to, even if you have to ditch all your 'friends', stay yourself.
It's not a war, it's an attempt at an ideological hegemony. This sort of thing is as old as the hills and the fiercer the onset the faster the extirpation.
Yes a lockdown of sanity and an occupation, but as it has no substantial or moral supports it will fade mist in the sun.
We are all here for the 'duration'.
