What do you mean by "In Praise Of The Disappearing Old World"? The Old World is usually referred to as one of tradition, monarchy, Christianity, etc.
I didn't know the phrase "old world" signified something specific. I'm using it colloquially. The phrase "Old Culture" would have been more to the point.
Specifically, I'm mourning the loss of the culture the U.S. had up to about the 2000s, before Clown World gradually started seeping into our institutions. There was no monarchy, but there definitely were traditions and Christianity.
Subconsciously, people absorbed all of that and it created the way we all related to each other as well as the general belief system of most citizens. You didn't have to be Christian to act on the values in that religion. Since most people were Christian and somewhat religious, you were living in their culture and behaved accordingly (for the most part).
In other words "do unto others" and the idea of "sin" were in the collective unconscious. You saw that reflected in business (where corporate raiders were considered immoral), in families (where couples kept it together and made it work), and even in the media and pop music (where they kept their liberalism/perversions in check because they knew they'd alienate their audience if they didn't).
Little by little, the mainstream culture I grew up with has gotten dismantled. It was already falling apart in a lot of ways (like in women's studies departments), but those on the fringes of the culture were considered just that: The fringe.
Somehow these people became the mainstream. When they did things turned upside down. Once upon a time, you could say you voted for Reagan, or you were pro-life, or you were against gay rights without fear. People would disagree, but it would stop there. You wouldn't have your life and career wrecked.
I see us now as living in a totally different culture, where the oddest, freakiest people not only hold sway, but keep the general populace living in fear and paranoia. Hence, Clown World and my nostalgia for what I termed the old world.
IMO, this "new culture" as it were, may be mainstream, perhaps, but its an imposed culture and a culture that the other culture (Christian et al) never wanted. The evidence of this is easy to spot. Its all being forced onto us. Why create a lesbian anti-male batwoman when its clearly doing poorly and, therefore, not making money? New culture notwithstanding, the exact mechanism I suspect would be an internal "change agent" operating in the studios insisting that this is created and then threatening to picket if its not. No consideration given to the economic reality of this project at all, rather, pure ideology. Moreover there now exists codes in entertainment that mandate that all females are portrayed as strong and perfect, ditto for other aggrieved people such as homosexuals. This is so systemic that it is very much stifling creativity because you are no longer allowed to develop characters...the homosexual or female character is already written. Wash rinse and repeat everywhere else.
You see, its forced. Just today, for instance, RamzPaul did a video on a new United Airlines ad that is woke. Here again, such an ad is not optimized to sell seats on their aircraft but to push a specific singular culture that no one asked for and no one, save for a minority, wants. Yet, United did it anyway despite being in a highly competitive market with thin profit margins. It makes no sense until you realize that the ideology behind it is hostile.
And above it all sits intersectionality or the "progressive stack", which, true to form, is a construct that has been utterly imposed and forced onto society without any consultation from the voting public whatsoever. This is the fountainhead of clown world, because intersectionality takes people who, sorry to say, would otherwise not be on the top on any competence hierarchy and puts them on top of everything. Ergo, why it all seems so absurd or ridiculous. For example, the proverbial girl next door is a doll tooting, care bear, cup cake princess with spaghetti thin arms and not an aggressive bone in her body. Yet, this person, who by the way, may sit high in some hierarchies, nonetheless is not at all high in say the hierarchy of fighting. The imposed culture sees this a bigger injustice than murder and reconciles it in the manner that Procrustes treated his guests. A la the abomination of "rey" from shit wars. The essence of rey is disagreeable on all levels and downright obnoxious if not entirely insulting.
There is good news. shit wars, batwomen, charlies angels are all tanking. I feel there is rumblings in the zeitgeist...people do not want this culture. Nobody wants a bearded 13 year old girl on hormone blockers as their hero. We all know that such a person is wretched and not worthy of emulation. Such a person knows this all to well, but, succumbs to their ego as they succumbed to their other impulses and despite the horrible damage they may cause, they have no remorse. Its all about them. Make no mistake, we all see the inversion of virtue here.
This forum may be some small corner of the internet, but, the angst we share and, most importantly, the rejection of the imposed culture is not as uncommon as we're led to believe. I am 100% certain we're now living in a multi-cultural society. We are one of the multiple cultures in this society. One important observation is that we have absolutely nothing in common with this clown world culture...after all we don't believe in things like killing babies to have more reckless sex, castrating children and having sex with children. Ahem, those are all the things this imposed culture believes is good. And, as follows, there is no compromise here. How can I compromise with a pedophile? How this plays out is anyone's guess, but, believe me, this new "mainstream" culture isn't as strong as we think it is.
