A WHOLE HEAP O' MEMES

Yes, it's meme time again. I've been making memes rather than writing articles for the past few months due to time constraints, as they're very quick and easy to make. They've kind of built up over the months, so here's a whole heap of them to enjoy and hopefully share to bring attention to this blog, which is hidden by all the algorithms imaginable. And with the closing of Voat at the end of last year, we have lost another source of publicity. The memes on offer this time around take in the corona scam, police state Britain, crisis actors used to bring in more draconian legislation, feminism, the great fact-checking fraud and the toothlessness of conservatism. Enjoy....

MJOLNIR HAMMERS....THE WELFARE STATE

In this second episode of Mjolnir Hammers.... James, Hanna and David look at the welfare state on both sides of the Atlantic, including liberal, American libertarian, socialist and Tory attitudes to welfarism, as well as offering our own Rightist views on the subject. We examine the history and development of pensions, the health service and unemployment benefit, as well as the faceless bureaucracy and dehumanisation of a system in which people crave privilege but shirk responsibility. Is working as a civil servant not a form of welfarism in itself....?

MJOLNIR HAMMERS....CONSERVATISM

This is the inaugural edition of "Mjolnir Hammers...." As Roger Scruton died not long before the recording of this episode, we decided to hammer conservatism. We look at the historical foundations of conservatism as a rebranding of Burkean liberalism, its religious aspects grounded in Christian Protestantism and mercantilism, its primarily economic outlook as a world view, and its legacy in the present in how it has shifted the Overton Window. We explore such topics as elitism, aesthetics, the politics of decline, pessimism and respond to the the fundamental question: do conservative ideas and ideals hold any value for our people?
