Cultural revolutions are never born from radicals...
although I did love that sex pistols song ‘order in the usa’

And the hoops people will jump through to defend the CCP is just as alarming

Skin in the game undoubtedly. Andrew Robb's association was borderline treason.

Critical theory.

The layperson needs to understand that society is being overtly influenced by a small & select group, originating out of academia, that have seized positions of power...............because their entire worldview is based upon controlling the narrative via positions of power.

Democracy & science are irrelevant, and individual rights are selective & flexible.

The position of the libertarian is that all people must have equal rights in order for human rights to be a viable concept, and that's just 100% fact.

Once self interested gangs get involved the entire concept dissolves.

If what Robb did was treason what’s your opinions Andrew’s?

gather around kids, Timmy another story from his hockey days:

in 2002 (during the summer season at the rink i played at), my team (different one i played on before i founded the Kangaroos) made the finals (best of 3). during the 3rd game, we were losing (ended up losing), but during the 3rd period, the scorekeeper (who also happen to have his girlfriend on our team) got into an argument with someone in the stand (fan for the other team, which happen to be called the Chiefs), he almost went into the stands to fight the person (and we would have followed him). would have been like this:

Loved the pistols, they’re cultural icons, sorry i must’ve missed the smiley face because I was being facetious, the songs called ‘anarchy in the uk’

The Pistols were basically about the high-jacking of rock n roll by the music industry.

Oh...........and making money.

Comparing modern edgy comedians who’s job it is to push the boundaries to historical books written around the turn of the last century.. contextually they are nothing alike.

it’s like pointing at ‘meet the feebles’ and saying Mickey Mouse should be banned..

True. I was simply demonstrating that regardless of the efforts of grass roots or corporates pushing that something should be sensored for whatever reason they will inevitably still be available. I don't think any of that kind of stuff should be banned. Materials abusing children etc for example are a whole different matter and is where efforts should be concentrated.

Go woke, go broke

You are right in the sense that a lot of companies have looked at the BLM protests and just gone full tilt at trying to cash in by projecting a certain image. Too early to tell if this form of capitalism will work out.

They were masters of it. The Eminem of the era.

"Academics" & "experts" in outrage would find something offensive about the sunset.

In their defense that's their job.

They were all about making money,

And god save the queen was one of the most censored songs in the uk.

Not to be confused with the dead Kennedys ballad * the USA.

It is true for some industries, but if entire industries or market monopoles go down that route, then it is hard to find alternative sources.

Also, most people aren’t involved in this culture war crap, so they aren’t going to switch products that they have always used. I.e. Coke.

Hey...

You might have a point.

Great summation.
Can't help by being generic in stating that the arts faculty is trying to create a useful industry for their scholars to move into.

A space , about nothing really and turning it into an industry and commercializing their "skills "

I don't believe it will.
It goes against good business culture.

It is true for some industries, but if entire industries or market monopoles go down that route, then it is hard to find alternative sources.

Far to many people have learnt how to manipulate the world, without the understanding of the world we live in, or the consequences of their actions..
