The documentary in the OP pic not the one I'm watching, it's just that I like that one as well. I've introduced unnecessary confusion.
>We are living through strange days. Across Britain, Europe and America societies have become split and polarised. There is anger at the inequality and the ever growing corruption - and a widespread distrust of the elites. Into this has come the pandemic that has brutally dramatised those divisions. But despite the chaos, there is a paralysis - a sense that no one knows how to escape from this.
>Can’t Get You Out of My Head tells how we got to this place. And why both those in power - and we - find it so difficult to move on. At its heart is the strange story of what happened when people’s inner feelings got mixed up with power in the age of individualism. How the hopes and dreams and uncertainties inside people's minds met the decaying forces of old power in Britain, America, Russia and China. What resulted was a block not just in the society - but also inside our own heads - that stops us imagining anything else than this.

We have. Lots of us. The old power structures are trying to control us and obscure the truth, so some people are still deluded (ala Matrix power-cods). There’s several fronts eating away at them and the walls will come crashing down soon.
The old money in Europe are calling for a reset, but their money can’t compete with bitcoin, so the second Great Depression starts off with a real crisis between elite’s fiat and next generations cyber money. Do we get that cyberspace purge Blade Runner 2041 depicted or do we get to drain the world’s military might?

You should. Once Europe and American dwindle of their founding stock, you're going to live in a violent and poor dystopia on par with South America, South Africa, and places like that. The dark races do not have the IQ or temperament of Europeans to construct societies worth living in. Your option will be the dystopia here or fleeing to Asia. Asians, though wealthy and capable, create very regimented, repressed, and authoritarian societies. Europe and the US are very likely to fall into ethnic warfare. All it takes is one serious bump to the system, such as hyperinflation (which we are heading to), and it's going to erupt.

Exactly, it's money, and one race (the jews) has disproportionate control over money and uses that power to further its ethnic interests. That is how Jews actually gained influence in Europe and America, through money lending. Are you seriously going to pretend that Jews don't have a disproportionate presence in banking, media, academia, and key social institutions? That politicians don't have to swear allegiance to Jews through institutions like AIPAC? That Jews don't have powerful political organizations to attack anyone who dares question or criticize, heck even point out their power? Simply stating that the Jews are overrepresented in finance and the media will get you dubbed a conspiracy theorist or an anti-semite. You lefty twits may think race is not real, but the jews sure as hell do think it is, for them. They are the most racially conscious group on the planet, how do you think they have maintained their identity intact for thousands of years without a state or country of their own? They are rabid ethnics.

So I see you're going to misrepresent my position and argue in bad faith no matter what. I won't bother further. You know I'm right, you're simply constrained by your politics to accept it.

How haven't you? You support and agitate for mass non-white immigration. There isn't a single lefty (apart from a few really old school boomer types on the fringes of the fringe) that is against continued non-white immigration. Non-white immigration helps nobody except the rich and powerful. It destroys wages and organized labour. It also stops the chances of any real socialist policies gaining traction because white people, who tend to be higher IQ and therefore more economically productive, don't want to give their money away to outsider ethnics, hence the white flight phenomenon and obsession with lowering taxes.

Socialists want state (public) ownership of the means of production. Maybe anarchists want to free people, but its not going to happen anytime soon because we live in this paralysing nihilo-hedonic left leaning bubble where no one cares about anything except themselves.

Leftism doesn't even have praxis anymore. (Praxis is dead, consumed in the performativity of virtue signaling and naive, empty headed, youthful rebellious- these factors fuel each other.)

Not in their countries they can't, which is why they flee to ours, but if enough of them come here and gain poltical power, they'll turn our countries into theirs.
There are countless examples of this happening. South Africa is one. While I don't condone colonialism, I think it was immoral and a huge mistake, South Africa was, under whites, a relatively prosperous country in Africa. It had markers close to other European countries, such as average life expectancy and crime rates. Now it has one of the worst murder rates in the world, one of the highest corruption ratings, and other markers of a third world nation. What was the change? Whites lost control of society, they gave it to blacks and they have ruled the country since Apartheid ended. Same thing happened in Rhodesia. Same thing happened in Detroit, Chicago, and other cities. In Europe, there's going to be the added problem of Islam (which is a political ideology as well as a religion), which we luckily don't have in the US.

Then allow for merit based immigration policy that rewards the most qualified if you believe that this will end up resulting in mostly whites (or Asians) instead of blanketly banning an entire race of people or deporting those who already are legally citizens of the country based solely on race. The merit based policy would reward the most qualified, and if you believe in racial IQ differences then you would think this would result in mostly whites anyway but it would also allow for intelligent skilled people of all races that can benefit the country in some way.

if you accept that capitalism is nearing its end (thanks covid), you'd also accept that the vocabulary and discourse used by so-called anti-establishment types is neutered and outdated. using the language they do, everything they express they want, the ruling class agrees with. how they envision it may be different (i.e. with them on top and owning everything) but the crucial point remains that with their current vocab all radicals can do is seemingly agree with them, and that's why dupes like Fischer get published by the Ford/Soros Foundation and Curtis by the BBC.

And it doesn't help that most of them have been dragged into a reactionary culture war where each side believes what the other side doesn't believe and vice versa.

Retard. I have been following bitcoin for years and it will never replace anything. It's slow, expensive and wasteful. The team behind BTC has no interest in scaling it so it will remain as such. It's also highly manipulated because the crypto market is not regulated.
It's only good for buying low and selling high to a greater fool which is what I do.

This is not judaism's fault as a religion or spirituality, its a problem of human greed and idiocy, of the nihilo-hedonic framework [which can also be thought of as idolism in a basic sense- venerating or worshipping anything created as opposed to the creator.

>Jews are not conspiring. Old wealth is.

Old wealth has been conspiring on its own since forever. The City of London Corporation is nearly a thousand years old.
However Jews have also constituted shadow government-like, just a lot later, individuals started accumulating power at the end of the 19th and associated with existing power structures until Israel was formed and could become a crucible for all those interests to turn to.
The biggest joke of this timeline is that the Protocols weren't true about Jews at the time they were written, but could apply 100% to the City of London Corporation, but almost immediatly it *also* became true of certain groups of Jewish people and now it is almost absolutely impossible for people to understand properly that the real OG evil kid raping wealth stealing conglomerate isn't DA JOOS, but the Anglos.

He also argued for multi-stage rocket systems, which were eventually used. All of this in the late 19th and very early 20th centuries, more than 5 decades before we actually went to space.

My point is that the views of elites, like Bill Gates and others, are quite public. Their views are written in books, newspapers, and blogs by people like Steven Pinker and other highly publicized academics. They regularly give talks and conferences at places like Davos, universities, and the world economic forum. They have websites like the slate star codex (which was read by silicon valley elites) where they are quite open about what they believe. They aren't secretly masquerading around, they are relatively open about what they believe. For the most part, it does seem that most of them believe that multi-racial society can exist for the long term, as long as everyone is effectively integrated into the system. This is why corporations are all pledging quotas for board members and other key positions. Why universities have quotas for racial minorities. The elites are effectively trying to create a new multi-racial elite. If you really think about it, it is entirely rational for them to do this. Mass immigration is necessary for economic advancement, but that also means the immigrants need to be integrated into the system.

It means the same economic and cultural conditions of the black community are desired for the white community.
>Low classes resist education
>High classes are conditioned to further the ideological narrative
>High promiscuity creates reliance on consumerist infrastructure
The negative side effects of this are low-level localized violence and drug abuse, which inevitably means more money for businesses (I.e., broken window economic theory. If I break a window and get it repaired for $100, the repairman makes $100, but no economic growth has actually occurred), without needing to expand economically which requires expenditures. So inflation without the inflation. For the elite classes of the US, their position is secured because the only people who rise to the workforce level are fully indoctrinated and will not challenge the industrial base.

To elites, this may appear as "Sex is fun, let the poor people have and we'll protect them from its consequences!" thus ensuring high promiscuity, "People who think X are stupid, and I don't trust them to do Y!" thus ensuring that negative thought never enters the professional sphere, "The poor people are too incompetent to fix their issues, let's help them while giving them the material they need!" thus ensuring reliance on the central elite as a source of basic staples and material goods.

Edward Dutton has a great take. The whole BLM thing for white liberals was effectively built on religious fervor and exultation. Denouncing racists was akin to denouncing heretics. Someone once said you can take religion away from man, but it will be simply replaced by another one. I think that has effectively happened in the west, science has killed God, but then politics became God.

anon here, basically what i was getting at about grievance culture is that it's the only thing resembling a unified cultural field left in multicultural societies. while once the elite tried to rally disparate groups of americans around american patriotism or people in the UK around the empire etc our only grand narrative now (at least in america) is how america has wronged you. it's basically impossible to reconcile your average second-gen latino with your average urban black and your average high-income indian, these groups are not only vastly different but also mutually antogonistic. the only "unifier" is being "marginalized" (the preferred term) by an imagined dominant white majority and/or historically wronged by the state. this serves to dual function of absorbing the actual grievances of various populations while delegitimizing existing legal and community structures that could potential threaten the neoliberal hegemony.

the lawsuit thing is a distinct vision of politics as an administrative question. francis fukuyama pointed out that the two most vast-reaching political and cultural changes that occured in the united states in the 20th century were roe vs wade and brown vs board of education, which legalized abortion and started the massive desegregation and integration program respectively. both were initiated as lawsuits by private individuals and the massive changes caused by both decisions never ever passed through the normal legislative process. you're from oz so obviously these won't resonate with you quite so much but given the arc of the 20th century i'm certain there's a series of legal decisions essentially made by unelected officials that pushed australia into its current globohomo trajectory

Blacks are the most obvious example since they are so far behind all the other races. All black-controlled countries are shitholes and have been for at least 2000 years. Even with all the money that has been dumped into Africa by the west, there has been no progress. It's unbelievable how brainwashed people can be and the mental hoops they have to jump through to justify this nonsense dogma about the races being all the same.

People prefer to cooperate with others of their own kind. The more points of contact they have in common, whether its race, language, culture, etc., the more they will trust each other. This is not difficult to understand. This is why multiculturalism is pushed so heavily by corporations and capitalists. To weaken the national character of a country and alienate the workers from each other so as to more effectively exploit them and to prevent them from unionizing.

The one thing liberals can't absorb is religious extremism and the far-right. That's why Biden declared "white supremacy as the greatest danger in America", meanwhile in Chicongo and Detroicongo, there's over a hundred shootings per weekend.

from the elite's perspective, forever but only because their time is an eternal present. from a realistic standpoint, maybe a decade tops before civic virtue is so depleted that a new form of government is required. i believe that the elite think that cybernetics will be sufficiently advanced by that point that naked force won't be necessary anymore. think 1984 but big brother is your smartphone and in allegra
