I think it will be pretty successful if the ruling elites and academics who run the media don't kill it while it's still fresh. Hell, I wish we had something like this in the US. The powers that be would probably like it here even less than they like it in Britain, though. The only thing I can see wrong with it is that it is pretty much certain that, politicians being politicians, all or almost all of the major figures involved in this "Blue Labour" push are corrupt as shit and at least half of them are probably adulterers or druggies. As a rabid American authority-mistruster, I would also worry about it moving too far right culturally and infringing on the God-given human rights of individuals who don't necessarily fit Britain's Mail-reading norm (especially given Britain's shit track record with civil liberty). The queer theory LGBT sorts, autogynephiles, and Wahhabis have to be reined in and not allowed to gain influence but the push has to be in moderation. Otherwise we would probably just see London happily put the boot down on normal homosexuals, non-deviant actual transsexuals, and Westernized lite Muslims because the Onslow-looking masses can't tell the difference between different people and degenerates hiding under the labels of different people.

In my camp basically. I realise that mocking racism makes me into some kind of faggy lib in your eyes but I'm really not that. What my politics come down to, and I think it's the same for many leftists (not libs, leftists), is opposition to markets. I think that markets have come to dominate our lives to a sickening extent and I want them banished from many spheres of life. I want people to exercise political control over their lives instead of being leaves on the winds of the market. I think that any thoughtful religious person should recognise the role of consumerism, globalisation and other market-driven phenomena in the erosion of religious values and come to the same conclusion.

But they're not in favour of social programmes because of a coherent ideology. They're just not dumb enough to vote themselves out of things that are plainly necessary to their survival.

You only need to look at history to see how much we've done. Since we're on the topic of prejudice just look at how prejudices have changed in Britain. I'm no expert on British history but from what I understand there are centuries of religious, ethnic, and national strife. Britain is literally 4 countries cobbled together into a united kingdom. There were tensions between the different ethnicities, we've had catholics VS anglicans, and so on. Now it's all water under the bridge and all the racists are united to save "white", "Christian" Britain against all those nasty browns. Prejudice can be moved around and tamed.

But I cannot stand the pomposity of conservatives, how they want to stick their hammy little fingers into peoples lives.

But on the other hand, reactionaries fundamentally think themselves superior to everyone else, and want deep down to control people. I can’t stand either.

There are no "conservative points." Conservatives kill or try to oppress "radical individuals" which includes whatever arbitrary criterion they feel like, such as sexual preference or skin color, or having a different perspective of the world, and then justify it with intellectualization. Conservativism is optimized for fucking bronze age dynamics, not the dynamics of the 21st century. If conservatives have their way they'll tear down civilization back to a bronze age level just to preserve their holy hierarchies.

Approaching conservatives expecting them to have tenable, valid beliefs is a losing game. Conservatives only make sense when you assume they work under the condition of seeking power for the sake of power for themselves, and fuck everyone else. Words and ideas are mere weapons to a conservative.

First of all, who do you think I am? Like I said, my politics revolve around getting rid of capitalist logic and markets. Social issues are a low priority for me personally. But even then, people on the left (as opposed to "moderates" and all manner of libs) care much more about promoting social democracy than purely cultural issues.

Anyway, if you're referring to things like raising awareness of structural racism or the enduring legacy of colonialism and all that, then the problem is more of a miscommunication. These things are not the fault of "whitey". Something like Colonialism is a consequence of the national policy of imperial countries, and the prosperity that they enjoy (and conversely, the poverty of the exploited countries) can be traced to these colonial endeavours. Former empires are on a hook for this, and if you're some Paki who arrived in Britain 10 years ago you're reaping the benefits of colonial exploitation in the same way some white guy is whose family has been in Britain for generations. The fact that you equate countries like Britain with white people and criticism of former empires with criticism of white people is entirely on you.

This is the real idea here. The political squabbling between both “teams” is completely ancillary and perhaps a distraction from the complete spiritual crisis of the modern age. More and more you see the same utilitarian, semantic thinking from both sides. I honestly think politics is so heated nowerdays because it has replaced meaning in people’s lives, it’s how those whose outlook has become so materialised, cramped and empty can feel part of something bigger or transformative. Even emotion is becoming some transactional mechanism. I predict when the enlightenment finally subsides and the old institutions of organised religions are torn down fully we will at last have another fresh start or nihilistic void; which we can use to find the sincere spirituality religions are born from. Perhaps with the perennial knowledge we have accumulated from all modes of philosophy, faith etc we can discover something indivisible and lasting.

Ethnic groups awarded privileges based on historical contribution and struggle, townships and free cities forming their own constitutions, the right to own slaves, and a society of moving parts forming an interconnected whole without atomized parts, centered around a royal family from which the rest of society finds its metaphysical foundation.

Why? Like I said, we're not exempt from being citizens of a specific state and members of Western cultures. Since you are a Westerner the leftists you are exposed to are other Westerners who express their disgust at what they know, which is the history of their country and other European/North-American countries.

Like I said, we're not saints who are free from plain old selfishness and ignorance, but there are also practical constraints to world-wide activism. For example, Bolsonaro's burning of the amazon forest has been in the news recently, in large part because of climate concerns but also because it's an encroachment into indigenous lands. I don't think this is good or just, but what am I supposed to do about it? I don't even speak Portuguese. My judeocommunist subversion abilities barely work on people in my own country.

Or when the pakis at my local mosque are bitching about racism and oppression, and how corrupt and degenerate westerners are and how they'd never let their daughter date a kafir or a black, and how they'd kill their son for being a fag.

Or rich Arabs spending literal blood money and whining about the America empire that keeps their faggot asses in power, since they know they can play the race card and the average white American can't tell the difference.

Also the upper-class niggers that have turned white guilt into a fucking industry, and basically act like glorified parasites juicing wealthy white academics for every penny they got while treating them with contempt.

I'd be more supportive of the left if it wasn't such a haphazard coalition of axes to grind trying to push faggotry on white men and also multiculturalism but those cultures get to keep their morals and traditions and also "omg aren't these hot brown guys so much more manly than faggot white men".

On society: Tradition, national pride, cultural identity, anti-immigration

On economy: Redistribution, investment, fair taxation

That's the right approach. As I have heard it phrased: nationalism + NHS. That's all that people care about. They want to be proud, to wave flags, to have a political elite and media that pander to the majority, not outliers.

First of all, pop-culture having dopey white people and similar crap isn't evidence of some plot to "push faggotry" on whites. Also, Western multiculturalism most certainly does not allow people to keep their traditions and values if they conflict with what Western culture really is, which is liberalism (as in the doctrine of individual rights) and capitalism.

You're conflating a disdain for oppression - aka unjust control - with authority at large. Good political rule constraints and elevates the individual while bad political rule, or oppression, merely crushes the oppressed for the crass gain of the oppressor. I think it's undeniable that the racist discrimination faced by ethnic minorities in the West, along with broader colonial experiences of many countries, is a form of oppression rather than political rule.

Fuck off you disingenuous prick. I've literally worked with left wing activist groups before, I've met plenty of agendered demi-sexual pinkhaired faggatrons with penises talking about how they're the "good ones" because "just look at my hair honey". There's also a clear dislike of the stereotypical 'straight white man' among those circles, and I've been told I wouldn't be promoted to certain positions because "this is an organization run by WOCs".
I'm not claiming an elaborate conspiracy, I'm claiming a clear preference that exists among certain types of people who run in certain social justice causes. If you can't see it, you're either willfully blind, disingenuous, or so full of your own bullshit that you don't believe the recent trend towards identarian absolutism and racial segregation among left wing types is an issue that reasonable person could oppose.

>Also, Western multiculturalism most certainly does not allow people to keep their traditions and values if they conflict with what Western culture really is, which is liberalism (as in the doctrine of individual rights) and capitalism.
Also not true. For one thing, Western Culture is not inherently capitalistic. Capitalism is a stage of modernity, but Karl Marx (and Max Weber and Oswald Spengler and Roberto Calasso and many other intelligent people) have argued that the tendency towards infinite growth and production will eventually overcome the limits of capitalism and we'll end up with either state socialism or some form of communism.
As for the doctrine of individual rights, that's increasingly under fire by westerners themselves. Universities in Anglo countries have totally eroded legal rights for their students and faculty, corporations have destroyed the idea of a right to free speech, in the public sphere militias and activist groups actively try to "de-platform" opposing voices. Liberalism exists in a very small and rapidly shrinking 'public sphere', which begins and ends at your local park (and only then with the proper licensing). As for other cultures, many of them don't even share the basic presuppositions of free will, individualism, etc. that make liberalism possible. The only reason this fact hasn't caused any protestation yet is because those minority groups don't have the power or numbers to enact noticeable change in society. Even westernized minorities, in my experience, tend to have a fundamentally different understanding of human rights and liberal society than those home grown people who've been in the new world for several hundred years (to say nothing of the native Americans, who've been here for tens of thousands of years and as a whole can claim a greater love of liberty than any other race).

>Radical Orthodoxy is an informal movement within current Christian theology. It embraces people who offer many different emphases and often disagree, but nonetheless share certain broad aims and assumptions. It began amongst lecturers and students in the Cambridge Divinity Faculty in the summer of 1997, and is especially associated with Emmanuel College, Peterhouse and Little Saint Mary’s. Since then its influence has spread to many different countries. It can be characterised in seven main ways:

>1. First of all, it denies that there is a sharp division between reason and faith or reason and revelation, and regards any such notion as a modern deviation from earlier views. It believes that human nature can only be fully understood with reference to our supernatural destiny, and human knowledge with reference to divine illumination.

>2. It also considers that the world can only be fully understood as a participation in divine being, truth, goodness and unity. Inversely it believes that the world as partially restored through grace gradually discloses to us the nature of the Godhead, without ever allowing us to comprehend it.

>3. To this traditional understanding it adds a specifically more modern view that the realm of culture, language, history and our technological interactions with nature also belongs to this participatory ascent. The realm created by human beings is not incidental to the truth, nor is it a barrier against it. Human poesis participates in the divine verbum, the Son of God. Likewise human social exchanges participate in the divine donum, the Holy Spirit. Through both these processes nature also comes more fully to herself.

>4. As for Dionysius the Areopagite, Modern Russian theology, and even the puritan divine William Ames, this means that theology issues in theurgy, a cooperation between human and divine work, which is nonetheless entirely the work of God. Attempts to think about God are superseded in the supreme work of human making and exchange which is the liturgy. Here a collective human action invites the divine descent.

>5. Radical Orthodoxy is influenced by Postmodern thought, but at the same time contests it. Postmodernity tends to conclude that since we cannot ground truth in an absolutely certain intuitive presence, nor in discursivity, (which is either tautologous or else goes on for ever and never vanquishes uncertainty), that in consequence there is no such thing as truth at all. Often this lack of truth is seen as the only truth, and so as disclosing a nullity at the heart of things. Radical Orthodoxy accepts that there are no foundations and that there can be no finite certainty, but concludes that this situation can be read as the need to refer time to eternity. Only in the infinite Godhead can there be an entire intuition which is also an infinitely concluded exposition. Truth is possible for us because we participate by an act of faith in this infinite truth. At the Fall, humans tried to erect truth for themselves : this is why rationalism is evil. But God himself descended to us and became the truth for us in time. Echoes of this resound through everything ever since, but are concentrated in the Church.

>6. Without God, people see a nullity at the heart of things. They regard death as more real than life. This means that body gets hollowed out and abstraction becomes the true permanent reality, as in ‘all is decay’. Only a belief in transcendence and participation in transcendence actually secures the reality of matter and the body. God transcends body, but is, as it were, even more body than body. So Radical Orthodoxy insists on a valuation of the body, sexuality, the sensory and the aesthetic ; while affirming also that an ascesis which seeks always to rise from body to the source of body is necessary to preserve this valuation.

>7. For Radical Orthodoxy, vertical participation in God implies also a participation between humans and nature and between humans and humans. It therefore regards salvation as both cosmic and communal. Theology encourages a theurgy which aims at a liberation of nature from terror and distress and at a fully harmonious and beautiful interaction between humans and the natural world. Equally it encourages a theurgy which is a social work of maximising democratic participation and socialist sharing on the basis of a common recognition of true virtue and excellence and an educatively hierarchic transmission of these qualities. It regards the Church as the foreshadowing of the Kingdom and the place of the most fully realised human and cosmic society.

Reminder that British imperialism was advocated by the Liberal Party while the Tories opposed it. It is not the "conservatives" and reactionaries who have committed the great atrocities of the modern era, but the pioneers of bourgeois progress -- the industrialists, the capitalists, the technicians, the explorers, the merchants, the colonialists. It was not the conservatives who advocated eugenics, but the progressives, the feminists, the social democrats and the syncretists; it was these ideological paragons of change, stretching across the whole spectrum of utopian modernism, that advocated for the "scientific advancement of the race" via the use of sterilisation and abortion against the protests of the "archaic" and "out-of-date" conservatives. There is much that is flawed and inhuman about conservatism, there is much that is corrupt and callous in conservatism, but let us not forget that conservatism has not been the driving force behind genocide in the modern age, has not been the motive-force behind the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and other such atrocities.

I don’t think anyone wants to pretend China is a model to follow. The great achievement of the West has been in individual rights which the the Chinese confucianist and legalistic traditions in large part reject. Maybe that makes their societies more stable long-term, but it also makes them more soulless. It’s not a great idea to wholly give the liberal tradition up.

No.
There was a faction of Liberal Imperialists in the Liberal party, but they were just that- a faction that split in part because they didn't like the Irish. Tory PM's during the colonial period can hardly be said to oppose colonialism- look at Benjamin Disraeli- and besides, Britain was hardly a constitutional monarchy. Bickering about political parties (when both were conservative anyway) is missing the point somewhat.

He's a neoliberal economist to his core.

Cummings is based, but his goal is to give the UK a purpose based around scientific innovation and advancement, and BoJo is his chosen alliance to make this happen. He won't be socially conservative at the very least, but he will be a better technocrat than any of the previous ministers.

In a way you're right, I've always been a bit puzzled by criticism of common law as liberalism from people who frequently identify as traditionalists in some sense, when it's a legal tradition that builds over time (and even applies outside of England, the SCOTUS has cited English Common Law before).

>The twitterati and Brexit party types are turning against them now precisely because they are becoming overly ideological.

>Prejudice can be moved around and tamed. It was done before and it can be done again.
You make it sound like relations between the United Kingdom are going so well, there is that rising tide of Scottish Separatism and of course the Irish have their problems still as well. I don't know much about the Welsh situation, but your blanket statement is as hollow as your ambitions to make prejudice something "tamed". You act like it can be controlled, whereas it is normally a manifestation of community security vs. dissolution. The reason that the "white" "christian" Britain is against "...those nasty browns" isn't because they have anything particularly against those "nasty browns" but it's that those "nasty browns" are mass moving (at the beset of "white" "christian" britains by the way!) to completely uproot, de-harmonize, and ultimately bring upheaval to the whole pre-established community.

I understand this is a fundamental point for most Leftists: they have some problem with the community of "white" "Christian" people, in general, and think that its destruction and dissolution will then allow them to make prejudice more "tamed" while completely ignoring the vastness of prejudice that they systematically create - in all people. It is like an artifical creation of that "Migration Period" ripe with all the violent struggle of community against community, this time for an increasing sense of survival (e.g. in Scotland there was a "It's Okay To Be White Sticker" and the reaction against it was calling it "vile" "evil" "has no place in our society" - they interviewed a nameless "immigrant family" who said they felt "threatened" - why? Why threatened? Because it's an acknowledgement of a community that they themselves are not the masters of). I find the whole situation terribly funny, from a macabre perspective, because what your idealism banks on is that you will be able to successfully manipulate a rapidly changing community based solely on your belief system. Can you even find a parallel in history that would achieve this? I know there was that "Cultural Revolution" in Maoism which led to mass executions and destruction of historical monuments, etc. and most likely this is what you are ultimately hinting at (e.g. it will become imperative to start killing and/or arresting people who are not assimilating into your ideology at some point).

I am apart of the growing mass of human beings who are beleaguered with this empty idealistic talk of messiahism, anti-community (in favor of another form of community) hypocrisy that ultimately serves no other function than empty belief systems that, in large amounts already, have already failed and/or been disproven.
