"Of course, all the characters struggle against this world in the name of an old-fashioned, white, and Eurocentric liberalism that is also problematic these days. But it is impossible to overlook that the world they are struggling against is far more attractive than the world they ended up making for us."

Not every Merchant-Ivory film is a visually lush period drama based on novels by prestigious writers like E. M. Forster and Henry James.
"As anyone familiar with romcoms of the 1990s might easily predict, Adam finds, woos, and, in the end, wins, his Eve. What is somewhat surprising, however, is the degree to which Adamโs success in Cupidโs quest is depicted as a function of the old-fashioned virtues, skills, and attitudes he learned in the time capsule in which he grew up."

Blast from the Past
On a Sunday last May, while Minneapolis burned, my Yankee sweetheart and I indulged in a double helping of nostalgia: Blast from the Past.
"Lohmeierโs exposรฉ is a quick read, and it effectively points out the problem of critical race theory while offering an effective way to return to the appearance of inter-racial unity. However, Lohmeier was relieved of command, his suggestions were not taken seriously by the military establishment, and non-whites in the military continue to endorse violence on social media. . . . It is thus clear that not much will change."

"Joseph Goebbels managed to get ahold of a copy of the film and was amused to find that he was in it. 'I myself play a main role and not even a particularly unpleasant one.' He concluded, 'But I do not consider the film dangerous otherwise. It arouses fear in our enemies rather than anger and hate.'โ

"How men treat women is a sign of their character. Think of the character signatures of Teddy Kennedy, Harvey Weinstein, and Jeffery Epstein. The feminist thrust toward social atomization strips away the opportunity for men to be โmenโ in that best sense of the word. Men offer women what other women canโt, and when they do it right, everyone is better off. Women at their best bring out the best in men."

"I think the question we should ask is this: If the satire found in This is Spinal Tap evinces a hostile racial agenda on the part of the artist, then what satires donโt do this? Does Oscar Wilde treat his upper-crust subjects any differently in The Importance of Being Earnest? How about the P. G. Wodehouse Jeeves novels? Do these have an 'anti-goy' agenda as well?"

Paint Your Wagon, Paint It PC
The Western dominated pop culture until the 1970s, when it winked out like an aging athlete. Not to be outdone, Lerner and Loewe wrote Paint Your Wagon in 1951.
"The Odinic path is appealing to a certain kind of European, yet it is a risky ideal, especially for a religion. The Ring cycle demonstrates this. There are still higher powers than Wotan, ones that canโt bend to divine whims or mortal action. Siegfried may shatter Wotanโs spear, but he canโt escape his fate. Even if one became a god, there are still forces you can never transcend."

Wagner for the Folkish
Richard Wagner is one of the few composers that still receive mainstream attention in the 21st century, but usually for negative reasons.
"Here we had the detritus of an industrial society โ the rusted-out hulls of 'iron monsters' โ as well as the medieval ghosts of plagues from the past haunting Copperfieldโs river. The disease that came by the water to the city of London in the 1830s was an old one, but its epidemic success required the mass society of the modern age and the great commerce of trade and empire that turned the 'fine fresh' Thames into a 'deadly sewer.'โ

"That seems to be a general rule of Leftism: it most harms those it claims to be most concerned about. However, Leftist narcissists like Marina Hyde arenโt interested in the consequences of their Leftism. Decent people donโt mention black criminality โ except to blame it on Whitey. But decent people do gloat over bestial savagery when it is inflicted on a deserving target. After the Boer nationalist Eugene TerreโBlanche was hacked to death by blacks on his own farm, Marina Hyde and an Iranian comedian called Omid Djalili openly gloated at the news on BBC radio."

"So hiring Americans might not be so much about love of country, but needing workers who can understand 'cultural and political context' to perform ideological censorship. That much, of course, is a departure from the common industry practice of Third World exploited labor so they can pay the absolute lowest wages possible. Someone from Bangalore might not get what 'small hats' means, realize that a picture of George Floyd holding a banana is highly irreverent, or understand naughty memes."
