Shorter than Molyneux's usual videos I feel this cuts deeply and quickly, getting to the societal changes the West has experienced (the first ten minutes cover the thesis, the rest isn't necessary).
In sum: whereas before greatness was esteemed and championed, now victimhood as identity is peddled widely. Whereas before virtues and a push to greatness was believed in (truly there was a substantive positive core of values that was believed in: it sustained empires and peoples, allowing them to achieve so much), now beliefs are undermined wholesale and constantly. I was in critical theory, and a leftist department for years. I saw this.
Think of all the labels and theories designed to make Westerners hate themselves, hate their history, hate their foundations. This is especially strong in Australia concerning the colonial past and Aborigines, the push to hate the colonists, invasion day, "all Australians were/are racists", children raised to be embarrassed, sorry, mentally lethargic, careful. This cuts to the bone there, then pares the rotten flesh to exposure.
Overseas in countries not so exposed to leftist decay, in countries that have confidence, have pride, don't experience constant guilt-trips in daily life, the difference is astounding. Crucially, beliefs and traditions are preserved.
I also think this is why leftists hate "cuck" so much, why it lacerates them and instills frenzy. The cuck is self-hating, self-loathing, Western, but rotten into being anti-western. A fundamental part of this is being anti-past, anti-tradition, anti-non-leftist-identities (rurals I know may know what I am talking about here, as they come under attack for doing their own thing, being different in that they are separate to the leftist urbans, Rurals are insulted and attacked for their identities).
Shouting the obvious, laying it out in the open and laughing at it is too much for leftists, they can't stand it. They can't stand mockery because their project has now been ongoing for three generations and they have made real gains, but cannot get everyone to be so self-hating.
Enjoy, and consider.
Post more about how I can't handle being called a Cuck, Tev. The world needs entertainment!
