That's where it gets a bit confusing. There were really two British Empires, the first was in North America and we largely lost that with American Independence (although we did hold onto the Caribbean because of the Sugar). That grew up around the same time as the Spanish, maybe displaced by around 50 years. We subsequently used the profits from that to found the Second Empire, which was centred on India and later Africa.

Of course there's a fair bit of overlap between them, but historically it's quite beneficial to distinguish them. With some notable exceptions (the Tasmanians being one, although that was more of an 'on the ground' act than imperial policy) the second was relatively benign. If you're a SJW/Leftie type it's easy enough to pick holes in the imperial project, but there is two sides to the balance sheet and more than usual in the positive column.

It's old now, but if you'd like to read a well written narrative account of empire 'Pax Britannica' by Jan Morris is something of a page turner - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heavens-Command-Pax-Britannica-1/dp/0571290698/

As to the Spanish. The Spanish use of slave labour for mining silver was easily as bad as the British use of slaves for growing sugar.

Cultural Marxism is not an invention of the paranoid right. It's a school of thought developed by left-wing Marxists and named by them as such because it describes the application of their own theory to culture rather than economics. Whether you agree with the movement or disagree with the movement, saying that it's not a movement, or that William Lind created a fictitious movement in 1998, is absurd. You are either misinformed or lying. Below is a list of sources drawn exclusively from professors and scholars practicing cultural Marxism in which they use the term to describe the Frankfurt- and Birmingham-descended schools of thought.

1. Richard R. Weiner's 1981 book "Cultural Marxism and Political Sociology" is "a thorough examination of the tensions between political sociology and the cultural oriented Marxism that emerged int the 1960s and 1970s." You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Cultural-Marxism-Political-Sociology-Research/dp/0803916450
   
2. Marxist scholars Lawrence Grossberg and Cary Nelson further popularized the term in "Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture", a collection of papers from 1983 that suggested that Cultural Marxism was ideally suited to "politicizing interpretative and cultural practices" and "radically historicizing our understanding of signifying practices." You can buy it here:http://www.amazon.com/Marxism-Interpretation-Culture-Cary-Nelson/dp/0252014014 Note that the left-wing and progressive Professor Grossberg is a world-renowned professor who is the Chair of Cultural Studies at UNC, near my house. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Grossberg
   
3. "Culutral Marxism in Postwar Britain", by Dennis Dworkin, is described by Amazon as "an intellectual history of British cultural Marxism" that "explores one of the most influential bodies of contemporary thought" that represents "an explicit theoretical effort to resolve the crisis of the postwar Left". You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Cultural-Marxism-Postwar-Britain-Post-Contemporary/dp/0822319144 Note that Dennis Dworkin is a progressive professor at the University of Nevada, where his most recent book, "Class Struggles", extends the themes of "Cultural Marxism in Postwar Britain".
   
4. "Conversations on Cultural Marxism", by Fredric Jameson, is a collection of essays from 1982 to 2005 about how "the intersections of politics and culture have reshaped the critical landscape across the humanities and social sciences". You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Jameson-Conversations-Cultural-Post-Contemporary-Interventions/dp/0822341093
   
5. "Cultural Marxism," by Frederic Miller and Agnes F. Vandome, states that "Cultural Marxism is a generic term referring to a loosely associated group of critical theorists who have been influenced by Marxist thought and who share an interest in analyzing the role of the media, art, theatre, film and other cultural institutions in a society. The phrase refers to any critique of culture that has been informed by Marxist thought. Although scholars around the globe have employed various types of Marxist critique to analyze cultural artifacts, the two most influential have been the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt am Main in Germany (the Frankfurt School) and the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, UK. The latter has been at the center of a resurgent interest in the broader category of Cultural Studies." You can buy it here. http://www.abebooks.co.uk/Cultural-Marxism-Frederic-Miller-Agnes-Vandome/2237883213/bd
   
   The essay "Cultural Marxism and Cultural Studies," by UCLA Professor Douglas Kellner, says " 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life... There are, however, many traditions and models of cultural studies, ranging from neo-Marxist models developed by Lukàcs, Gramsci, Bloch, and the Frankfurt school in the 1930s to feminist and psychoanalytic cultural studies to semiotic and post-structuralist perspectives (see Durham and Kellner 2001)." The essay is available here: http://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/essays/culturalmarxism.pdf
   
   -Note that Professor Kellner is a progressive professor, an expert in Herbert Marcuse, and critic of the culture of masculinity for school shootings.
   
   
6. For another reference, see http://culturalpolitics.net/cultural_theory/journals for a list of cultural studies journals such as "Monthly Review", the long-standing journal of Marxist cultural and political studies". Note that the website Cultural Politics is a progressive site devoted to "critical analysis" of the "arena where social, economic, and political values and meanings are created and contested."
   
   
7. You could also check out "Cultural Marxism: Media, Culture and Society", Volume 7, Issue 1 of Critical sociology, of the Transforming Sociology series, from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Sociology. I hope that this brief survey amply demonstrates that Cultural Marxism is a term created and actively used by progressive scholars to describe the school of thought that first developed at Frankfurt and Birmingham to apply Marxism to cultural studies

1. 
   a) Torah Hebrews != Rabbinic Jews. Zionists != Religious Jews. Zionist Evangelicals != Christianity
   b) While zionist protestants think they are partaking on worldly promises of God if they are cucked by Zionist Jews, doesn't mean the same applies to Christianity as a whole. Same for Saudi Arabia not being the model for how Islam views them. "God's chosen people" is only sold to people that have weak doctrine, since through out the bible this "exceptionalism" of the Jews is humbled by God. One of the latter examples: Matthew 3:9: And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
   
   
   c) Islam has Jesus as a prophet and a central figure of Messianic prophecy, unlike the Rabbinic Jews which have Him boiling in excrement and Mary as a whore. Both Rabbinic Judaism and Islam come after the Christian movement.
   
   
   
2. The cultural war is only a facet on the attack of sovereignty. Because identity (no necessarily race based) and community are another barrier to that global control, like monarchies, nation states, morality, non-materialistic ideologies and faith.
   
   
   
3. Well in the christian side of things is "Love wins" is an LGBTQP+ twist as an adaptation of Jesus second commandment " 'Love your neighbor as yourself. ". But they omit the first one from which all doctrine derives and in which likeness the second one is supposed to be executed: Love God above all else. This one they don't like, because with the other they can push you to submit to their degeneracy, the first one means we are all subject to God more than to our neighbors passions.
   
   
4. Hence Christians consider calling out Jews on their bullshit, to protect them and lower the resentment by bringing justice and closure. Freemason Liberals share the jewish appologia with zionist protestants, how interesting, but not because of transcendental belief but because of pure materialism and power crave which is also blocked by morality.
   
   
   The cancer for me is Freemason Liberalism, which trumped Christian nations and values and even won over the movements that rose in reaction to that void, Fascism and Marxism.

   So I find very rich, all these new liberals mentioning globalism and geopolitics but never mention Freemasonry, Alchemy or Jews. They espouse "Capitalism", but never teach any of it or address it's problems. All is fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_FqPz_9d4o
   
   
   They espouse individualism but want to make it the norm for everyone else...
   
   
   But Islam... yeah man, Islam took US and UK and most of Europe to wars in the Middle East... That's what happened...
   While Muslims have issues they also have something the Christians have no more, a community moral backbone: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/jan/31/school-defends-lgbt-lessons-after-religious-parents-complain
   
   
   The SJWs are the easy target...

During the great Chinese famine, China did the opposite of this. They would send farmers to dig canals and trenches, or to go work in steel mills, resulting in a loss of food production.

This will not have a positive effect. Sending people that have no knowledge of farming to work farms will be minimally efficient. While also reducing the efficiency of the industries that these people already have a specific skill set for. Even if the government instructs people on how to work the farms, odds are the government will not give correct instructions. And once again I refer back to the Great Chinese famine, where the government created the inefficiencies.

This is what happened in China, "ohh you have this crop growing food, well this isn't the crop we wanted. Plow the field again and plant this instead." Then they act surprised when no food grows.

See this book, Tombstone: The Great Chinese Famine, 1958-1962

It could be a cunning ploy to get Sargon's attention, that devious fox.

Although in seriousness, Sargs often will use an article as a counterpoint to something he has indentified in TWIS, so perhaps it makes more sense when looking through such a lens

>That's how Hitler started, he pulled in the youth to miseducate them, to brainwash them, it's happening today.

That's a very good point that is often overlooked. The narrative today appears to be that Hitler duped that great unwashed masses into following his cause, when there were plenty of 'intellectuals' running alongside Hitler ensuring that all levels of society followed suit. There were many 'revolutionary' ideas running rampant in Universities in the 20s, with their advocates expressing the same fanatical zeal for them as anyone in the USSR.

I'd recommend anyone, including Sargs, to sink their teeth into Michael Burleigh's The Third Reich: A New History which touches upon many aspects of Nazi Germany that have often been overlooked, including attempts to Nazify religion (that's right folks, Jesus isn't a Jew anymore, but instead a glorious Aryan)

Here's a great book by an academic in the process of abandoning social justice in favour of science:

https://www.amazon.com/Galileos-Middle-Finger-Heretics-Activists/dp/0143108115

That's not really true. For instance, the field of evolutionary psychology has documented how homicide can benefit an individual organism in certain contexts, thus that predisposition can develop in some people.

https://www.amazon.com/Homicide-Foundations-Human-Behavior-Wilson/dp/020201178X

The same would be true of aggression. Now the reason that blacks have more of these genetic predispositions is an interesting question that should be researched more.

I did a bit more digging and found that he wrote this text

https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Diversity-Race-Gender-America/dp/0814740006/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479516088&sr=8-1&keywords=toxic+diversity

I imagine it is an expansion of the article. It has the Sommers seal of approval and even gets a credit from one of the guys it takes to task!

haha yep, I think people would know it was him on this shirt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HPBCTG

I mean, their schtick is that they'll put anyone and anything on that's anti-Western and pro-Putin.

They're partially responsible for the whole SJW thing.

If you want to read about it.

I'm totally not trying to draw attention to Anita in time to promote her new book "History vs. Women: The Defiant Lives that They Don't Want You To Know" which you can buy now on Amazon. It comes out October 2: https://www.amazon.com/History-Women-Defiant-Lives-that/dp/1250146739

I mean, he's mostly spot on. Speaking of anti-fem propaganda, peep this, ha.
