We are living in the medieval 21st Century

Hard to argue against any point here. The parallels are uncanny.





I wonder if we're going to be thought of as the bad old days in a few hundred years? (If we survive WW3!)

Is there a reason my bullshit alarms are going off like a five-alarm fire?

Beyond the fact that he blatantly overestimates the influence and reach of cancel culture, fails to understand that it works in a far more disorganized manner than excommunication does (usually just degenerating into a hate mob,) and misses that the problem with it is less that they actually have the power to do so and more that its practitioners are telegraphing that they WANT to have that level of Power.

Plus the second I hear people claiming that the likes of NHS and LGBT rights are religions, I immediately figure out that they don’t have anything worth saying.

Interesting to a degree but, basically, Jonny Speaker just comes across as a right wing climate change denier come "I will pollute all I want, it's MY LIFE!" twunt. I mean really, comparing carbon credits to indulgences? Dear me. So you lost your job for espousing climate change denial? Good.

If you ever tried convincing a Baptist or Catholic that some part (or the whole) of their religion is illogical nonsense - you might understand his point.

With some people it's all or nothing...

I watched the video; it's terrible history and law.  He equates professional censorship in our day with the very public (often fatal) punishments that were meted out to heretics during the High & Late Middle Ages (trials of witchcraft being more typical of the early modern period.)  Some professions (law, medicine, psychology, etc.) have professional codes of conduct; for instance, if you are a pharmacist who is opposed to birth control, then, your opinion that contraception is an abortifacient may bar you from working at Walgreens, but, you do not have a right to work at Walgreens, and, Walgreens may discriminate against you for any reason, except, for those areas of life that constitute a protected class (religion, race, etc.)  And, it is up to the Courts to determine what is (and is not) protected speech with respect to employment.  For instance, if you think that interracial marriage is an abomination before God, you may not be able to teach at most public high schools in the United States, but, if you are transgender (like me), it would be against the Law for a school district to discriminate against you (although, they do so all the time.)

Give me one good reason to watch a video from a brexshitter.

The dark ages were a period of rapid innovation and the trouble free assumption of new knowledge, methods, and practices. I wish we were living in the dark ages. The parallels aren't uncanny, there are no moderrn parallels -to that-, that's just you noticing that things have turned sour, at present.

I suppose that we get the wrong idea, on account of how bad ideas seemed to have flourished in medieval times, but that was a consequence of ideas flourishing, in general.

I liked it and found it entertaining.

Guys, I don't need to waste new posts with my ramblings, but I found this 1984 interview from an ex KGB speaking about their methods.
I'd watch it all but at 5:24 he tells us what will happen to the leftists who are usually instrumental in bringing down govts.
