There are writers who were really good at documenting tumultuous, ever-changing periods.

Are there any nowadays that kind of write about how things are changing right now? Would those be culture-critics? Know any good ones?

my diary?

Start with the Greeks

I think this might be what I'm working up to. I want to write about the insanity of letting political correctness entirely influence one's view of the world. Of willfully accepting ignorance and spreading misinformation or outright lies for the sake of supporting political correctness. Specially here I'm speaking of Islam and Black Lives Matter. If BLM cared about black lives, they'd protest in ghettos and go to schools with a black majority of students. Most black lives are ended, not by police, but by other black lives. 'Gangsta culture' is a cancer on American society, and the perpetrator of the vast majority of black deaths. Well... the REAL perpetrator of the vast majority of black deaths is abortion, but 'gangsta culture' is up there for black individuals who had actually been privileged enough to be born.

For Islam, the suggestion that it is a religion of 'peace and feminism' is outright fiction. In 'Opposite World', yes, Muslims would staunchly promote gay marriage, women's rights, and protest against violence towards women. Instead, we see Muslims protesting in favour of Sharia Law which legally allows the beating of wives, and wives cannot deny their husbands which means rape is also legal under Sharia Law. Feminists support Islam, and that is like Black Panthers supporting the KKK, or Rabbis supporting Nazi Germany. It is absolute and utter insanity with no small amount of ignorance thrown in. If you try to teach a Liberal about actual passages in the Quran that promotes the distrust of Christians and Jews (of which there are many), or promotes fighting in the name of Allah and preparing for war (again, quite a few passages for this), then they will often times outright reject it, claiming you're intolerant for having studied and book and having been critical of it, saying that if you don't think Islam is a religion of peace than you're a disgusting bigot.

Then; manspreading, mansplaining, rape culture (exists in the Middle East but not in the West), wage gap (yearly income, not hourly wage, and no economist takes it seriously, not even female feminist economists), patriarchy... 3rd wave feminists have produced such fiction to try and legitimize feminism. In truth, 2nd wave feminism not only achieved equality, but earned women more rights than men. There is not a single right that I know of that a man has that a woman does not. Yet 3rd wave feminists fight for MORE rights, and what do you call that? I call it a battle for supremacy, and it is why I'm anti-feminist. Feminism because unnecessary essentially decades ago, perhaps even before I was born. Now, there is a need for the Men's Rights Movement, a need for The Red Pill, and yet feminists do everything they can to ban it.

Feminism is not about equality; it is the fight for women's rights. Historically that fight had the end goal for equality, but not anymore. Now it is a fight for lies, misinformation, misandry, and supremacy. Insanity.

>When you get all your opinions from watching the news

This is exactly the opposite of what the news promote though. The news establishment is damn-near completely left leaning except for a few apostates.

>when you get all your opinions from alex jones

Yes and your reaction is to what the news promotes, rather than some cohesive understanding of the world. But I don't know man, maybe a passive, self-unconscious, reductive, partisan, reactionary text will be a curiosity in 100 years because of how it reflects the time (framed by some secondary sources) but I can't imagine we have much of that in short supply.

desu?

my dairy farm, seppuku.

>Yes and your reaction is to what the news promotes
I'm not even that guy, sod off with your armchair psychology.

What makes you think things are changing more than they're remaining stagnant? I'd say it's more the latter.

He basically admitted it.

Stefan Zweig - The world of yesterday

you're an idiot. if you try this hard to subscribe to your own cute little personal agenda you're no better than the people you a priori consider yourself above

he has a point. these people deserve to be described from the perspective of someone looking from behind a pane of glass.

>who are you to judge you shitlord! educate yourself!

you included

>give a shit on Islam
nobody cares about religion anymore, neither Christianity nor Buddhism, wake the fuck up, even isis don't care about Islam, they just hate white people and people who suck white cock

Bret Easton Ellis at least proved it can be done in the modern age. You know within a matter of years if something will be generation-defining though, so we're still waiting for something big to come.

>doesn't follow the 8 fold path

It's never too late to start.

I hope this is bait and you're not unironically autistic enough to sit there and type an incredibly detailed point-by-point description of why you disagree with liberal bogeymen on every single talking point the alt-right has ever cared about in response to an incredibly general question like the op

I don't watch television, let alone the news.

This.

To be fair I used to watch Alex Jones around... oh... 2011 perhaps? It's been 6 years; my views of Islam, 3rd wave feminism, and BLM do not stem from Alex Jones.

Personal agenda? I used to support Islam and was open-minded about trying Sharia Law, until I learned of the religion and of said law. I used to consider myself a feminist once upon a time, though wasn't an outspoken one. I just believed in gender equality and treating women with respect (I was quite the beta when I was in my teens and to a lesser extent my early 20s). I don't consider myself superior or 'above' anybody. I actually studied alongside Muslims in College and it was quite interesting, but I've since learned from their Quran and I do not like what I see.

Nobody cares about religion? I guess that's why around 70% of the US is Christian, and over 60% of Canada is as well. I guess that's why so many people are sadly dying in a cry of "Allahu Ackbar" these days, which translates to "God is Great" or "Allah is Great". ISIS fights in the name of Islam, and the Orlando shooting of the gay bar was done in the name of ISIS and Islam.

They are my views and beliefs, and I do indeed find it fascinating and scary that people can completely blind themselves by viewing the world through the lens of Political Correctness. If anything goes against that Political Correctness, then they actively address it with hatred, either fighting against it, ignoring it, and/or crying things like 'racism', 'islamaphobia', 'sexism', and so on and so forth. It's simply incredible. I've experienced it not only online, but in the real world, and talking to such leftists is like talking to a brick wall.

Nietzsche

Ah, misread your question, ignore that.

News isn't limited to TV friend

> I want to write about the insanity of letting political correctness entirely influence one's view of the world

have you read marcuse?

I have not, guess I've got some reading to do.

Wow, so it was a genuine effort and not pasta
Why did you feel the need to outline every single aspect of your worldview complete with your strawman-centric supporting arguments that nobody asked you about to a question as simple as the op? Is this your blog? You could have easily said "I am a faggot from /r/the_donald" and everyone would have implicitly understood that you hold all of those views.

Here is modern politics in 2017:

Socialists/Marxists have given up on trying to appeal to the white working class. They know it's a losing game, so their focus has shifted onto increasing third world immigration to get the votes they need. Their goal is to totally diminish the influence as the white working class as a voting bloc. Virtually everyone is aware of this, either consciously or subconscously and this is why politics seems so tense right now. What was one just a subtext for other issues is now more or less out in the open.

In modern politics, three main groups are forming. White men, white women, and everyone else. White men are on one side, everyone else is on the other, and they are both vying for the white women vote. White men tell them "we are your cultural protectors, come with us", while everyone else tells them "white men are oppressing you, we will give you more freedom".

>Immigrants are leftists

They overwhelming vote for more centralization, more income redistribution and more welfare. Yes, they are beneficial to the leftists. Denying that just sounds stupid.

why do millenials like to reduce everything down to reductive soundbites.


anyway, im glad i dont live in america

Because our attention spans have been shortened by technology. We need everything short, simple and quotable

What if there isn't anything to really discuss? Ask me to name the most significant stuff in our time and its just some random list: Trump, Putin, everyone is using social media now, binge watching Netflix TV shows, as astonishing amount of people suffer from anxiety and depression, the refugee/migrant crisis...That's about it I guess. I mean is there really anything to say? People are engaging in shitty entertainment and typical political problems are re-occuring.

They're allied with the established left and will be until they are large enough as a group to be politically autonomous.

Is it just me or does it seem like progress/technology is slowing down? Or is that just what it feels like as you get older?

Nice try

Nice try...what? Do you seriously deny that immigration massively benefits left wing parties? If so then why the fuck do right wing parties try to limit immigration, while left wing ones try to increase it? I don't see what basis you have here for your viewpoint.

Lol yeah that's right they try to limit immigration to stop more people voting left

You lack awareness if you think things have ever been that simple.

Culture is a lot more than politics.

>immigration massively benefits left wing parties

just like leftists predicting a hillary win, they are wrong in the long run. there has been much lamenting in liberal media how millenials are more conservative than generations before them, and the pundits all attribute this to "russian meddling" or "alt-right trolls", "peepee frogs" etc. but anyone who doesn't live in a gated community or million dollar condo tower can tell it's that the massive influx of immigrants are more conservative and passing conservative values on to their kids, sure immigrants want free gibbs from the dems, but they're also fag basher and hate abortion, so the republicans will be able to get plenty of their votes in time

Not to /pol/

The last great one was aldous huxley. Many of his ideas are still valid today and some are even more than that

The way in which it manifest itself at the ballot box is. That might not be every thing, but it is significant.

Never been to /r/ before and don't know what strawmans I've provided. I'm merely giving my own views. If you dislike them, that is entirely ok. I'm not here to have an argument, but merely expressing how I see things.

You're probably right. I'm still only in my 20s; lots to learn yet.

Been meaning to check them out. I used to think that board was just a bunch of Neo Nazis, but lately I've been thinking that perhaps there's more going on than meets the eye, or at least more than what met my eye when I held more Liberal views. I think I can remember someone who admitted to being from /pol/ trying to redpill me on statistics on black crime. I wouldn't buy into it, but didn't outright say BS like he's racist. Someone tried to give me shit for not believing it or not accepting it, but they had seen that I was open to discussing things, told the offender to leave me be and that I'll likely be red-pilled in time. Well, they were right; I was red-pilled. Like much of the left, I had pulled the wool over my own eyes with the help of political correctness. I've since pulled it away and burned it; I no longer care for political correctness, though that doesn't mean I outright seek out political incorrectness.
