I will admit to watching television programmes like Antiques Roadshow and Bargain Hunt, although I refuse to pay for the licence fee, as it broke its charter long ago, and there are ways and means of watching the BBC for free.... I once even went so far as to apply to be a contestant on Bargain Hunt back in the David Dickinson days. As with many BBC programmes, my enjoyment of them has waned considerably due to "diversification". Yes, even in these most English of programmes, an unhealthy dose of diversity has been added. Since getting rid of presenter Tim Wonnacott in 2016, who kept the show within a certain all-White group of antique dealers, the BBC have added several non-White so-called experts: Raj Bisram, Danny Sebastian and Gary Pe. All of them are there to express their Otherness and deconstruct British history and culture.
There is little more to be said about the latest Gillette television commercial, which was dreamed up in the palsied cankered mind of feminist Kim Gehrig, and I do not wish to indulge in the bad news porn of an analysis. We know that it was aimed specifically at White Men and portrayed us as bullies, effete, misogynists, weak and so on, and crossed the line from advertising to propaganda - although where one form begins and the other ends is open to debate, and I think there is always an element of propaganda in advertising and vice-versa. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Well, I am happy to see that there has been a move to boycott Gillette products already, which is gathering traction. This has already been criticised by feminists on 4Chan, Twitter and elsewhere, who have pointed to the fact that advertising has been used to manipulate women's behaviour for decades. They are quite right, but the same also goes for men. Indeed, men have been on the brunt of some of the most heinous advertising in history. Who can forget this little poster that manipulated men into throwing themselves into the industrial mincing machine of the First World War?
I have been critical of the political party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). In a way, I recognise its necessity, because most people who have been programmed into viewing Leftist ideology as normative do not suddenly arrive at our position. They move further to the right through increments and one needs structures through which to move them ever closer to Nature and to Truth. Equally though, I also realise that such vehicles as the AfD will attempt to pass off their politics as the whole truth and steer voters clear of asking fundamental questions about Germany's history, culture and the influence on them by other ethnicities, as well as voting for the Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD). This is why I both criticise the AfD and recognise its necessity. Ultimately, the AfD are classical liberals, and the fact they are now portayed as "far Right" shows just how far Left the mainstream actually is. The mainstream also continually misrepresents their politicians as troublemakers who will inevitably engender racial and political tension and violence, when that is precisely what the Left is doing. A case in point is yesterday's attempted assassination of the AfD politician Frank Magnitz.
