Living in a society where anyone can do anything they want with their real property is a surefire way to erase a nation's history.
Reminder that civic and social engagement were on the rise until the 60s
Which is when America was getting KGB'd hard
define KGB'd hard -- I read a book on the history of the FBI which was pretty gnarly once
but I'm not sure what you're getting at
My father's family co-founded a town in Massachusetts; what does it look like today? Fucking Dunkin Donuts on every corner, and houses from the 70's that I can't afford to live in.
Deliberate hardcore subversion on all fronts
okay haha
KGB operative defected to Canada and spilled the beans decades ago but we still havent done proper cleanup
well if you go full tin-foil, most pop culture from 60s to 80's was CIA-backed
That's true; they did that everywhere.
Was that Bezmenov, Beemann, or someone else? I'd like to look into that
without going into the weeds, you can find a CIA connection with LOTS of rock bands
Yeah it was Bezmenov
Ahhh gotcha
I need to re-watch that interview again
Bezmenov's words have come true
yep
@Beemann I'd like to read about that, the canada defect
that sounds very interesting
Look what we know the CIA and KGB did in the Middle East and South America in the 50's-80's, and the idea that all the social movements that happened in America are organic or accidental seems positively naïve.
Yuri Bezmenov. He did interviews
Yuri Bezmenov was based.
There's like an hour long one on YT
Where he just goes over fucking everything. It's nuts
anything that happens abroad likely happens here in some capacity
Read his pamphlets, too! Archive.org
deffo
I didn't know he'd written anything
Also Cleon Skousen's Naked Communist; explains all that's going on, written in 1962.
going to be forward -- i'm straight dissident right and love BAP, moldbug, landry, and practically anything over on that end. But I came from far left years ago.
so take anything I say with a grain of salt
thanks y'all
I enjoy matt, tim pool, and other content creators as a way to ground myself a bit, but i'm generally not very grounded
I knew this was messed up ever since I found out that the 60s feminists were literally making "the destruction of the family" one of their chants
Programming is your parent's fault; you're not guilty for having been asleep, just for chosing not to get up when you awoke.
I was actually fairly left when I was younger, too, but that's a story I don't have time for today haha
ah my parents were conservative as fuck, and I reacted by going far left
Ha!
"Not very grounded"
Core values?
it started with some even further left friends telling me to get out of my tower of white privilege years ago, found the usual suspects like Rubin, went into the rabbit hole of alt right shit, and i'm floating around that and centrism
