Aestheticism vs. Moralism (Part 1 of 2) — HTRTW A proposal for an aesthetic orientation of cultural development and public policy, in lieu of exploitable moralistic frameworks. youtu.be/LTyozTo3EAY?si=G7E_…

In his January 2025 speech to the World Economic Forum, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez laid out the plan to use digital ID to end anonymity online, under the guise of protecting minors from "inappropriate content". "I propose putting an end to anonymity on social media." "We are allowing people to roam freely on social networks without linking their profiles to a real identity." "This is paving the way for misinformation, hate speech, and cyber harassment... It is allowing people to act without being held accountable for their actions." "In a democracy, citizens have the right to privacy, not to anonymity or impunity." "That is why I believe we must... force all these platforms to link every user account to an European digital identity wallet." "This is the only way to really ensure that minors do not access inappropriate content."

This envious attitude is a very real one and is exactly what destroyed Britain in the postwar era. Just look to Wentworth Woodhouse and the Fiztwilliam family The Earls Fitzwilliam spent generations building a prosperous coal mining industry on their estate. They were beloved by the miners because they cared about miner safety, paid quite well, provided schools and such for the children of the miners, provided alternate work for the miners when the mines had to be temporarily shutdown, and otherwise were great employers who pushed the industry of the nation forward with a true sense of noblesse oblige In so doing, they built up a stable and prosperous coal extraction effort that was worked by loving and loyal employees. As a result, they became immensely wealthy and used their wealth build Wentworth Woodhouse, one of the grandest and most gorgeous English country houses, and its beautiful parklands. The miners by and large weren't envious. They had good jobs and good employers. All was stable, and everyone benefitted from the relationship That state of things lasted for well over a century. In fact, the Fitzwilliams maintained good relations with their workers even when labor agitation elsewhere was a disaster for coal mine owners. The Fitzwilliams had done their duty, and were rewarded with loyalty for that Such good behavior didn't matter when, in the aftermath of the Second World War, Attlee's Labour regime was elected. It nationalized all of British heavy industry, essentially, from the steel mills and railroads to the coal mines That meant the Fitzwilliam mines were expropriated by the Labour regime Yet worse, it meant a spiteful mutant named Manny Shinwell ordered the strip mining of all the coal on the estate, including through their beautiful and beloved parkland. The workers still loved the Fitzwilliams, and they revolted, and in a genuine outpouring of love and support, refused to follow Shinwell's orders and begged Attlee to reverse the decision. He didn't; the strike was broken by the Labour regime, and the grounds were irreparably destroyed to mine valueless, dirty coal. So too was the house, which had its foundation destroyed by the open-cast mining, which went right up to the doorstep. Now it can't be lived in, and the Fitzwilliams had to give it up. The government of course refused to pay for the damage it did, or to take responsibility for the reprehensible actions of its minions And what was gained by all that destruction? Nothing. The coal mined from the Fitzwilliam parkland was essentially valueless, the stolen mines were largely shut down by the Thatcher years, and all the capital that could have funded Britain's post-war rebuilding was instead stolen and wasted on the welfare nanny state Priceless English heritage was destroyed, and noblesse oblige not just ignored but punished, all for nothing at all Such is what they now want to do to Elon He created a company doing things thought impossible until just years ago...because he did them. He became very wealthy as a result. He also minted thousands of millionaires in the process, including blue collar guys who stuck by the project for years and accumulated equity as they did so Now spiteful mutants like Liz Warren want to follow in the footsteps of Manny Shinwell and expropriate his property to punish him for succeeding

At this point, Britain is basically just a totalitarian police state.

This all seems to be a ploy to link IP addresses and online activity directly to an identifiable person to make them easier to catch and track down. The government falsely assumed that everyone watches porn and they thought they would get everyone that way. It obviously did not work as well as they were hoping so they are now expanding it. (I have always said that initial laws are just a foot in the door, those laws will always be expanding after the fact into their true original intended purpose). So their plan now is if you want to use any social media or much of the internet in any way, you will need to prove that you are over 18 which means submitting an ID. This will require far far more ID submissions which will massively expand the government database, which was the real plan all along, not the safety of children. The funniest thing about this is after all the fuss about the Online Safety Act, this blanket ban on kids using social media pretty much renders the entire act pointless and made it a giant waste of time. Which to be honest, proves that the act was never about protecting children but was really about building a giant database that links all online activity directly to a person. This database would then be constantly poured over by AI to flag "citizens of concern" to the government who may be potential political dissidents, saying naughty anti-government things etc so the government can pre-emptively act against them. Minority Report. This is literally the plot of Minority Report.

In 2022, Putin warned the world of Ukrainian Bio-Labs. He was labeled crazy. In 2026, the United States has confirmed the existence of these labs. Putin was right about everything.

Europeans aren’t having children because they can't afford to support them. Muslims have children because Europeans support them.

Oh boy..... I think I might now understand why the natives are the most conservative demographic in Canada.....

Pretty sure this is all coordinated between key Western states that want to end online anonymity

Once Head Girls got into academia, the place became overrun w/ mandatory socialising sessions camouflaged as make-work administrative duties (committee assignments etc.) & journals started to fill up with unreadable formulaic junk written solely for career advancement.

The Left is pushing for identification to use the internet while pushing for no identification to vote. Think about that.

If you’re wondering why BlueSky is spared from the UK’s ban on every other social media for under-16s

RT @Indian_Bronson: Btw even China and Iran don’t do this. Only North Korea does this.

So let me get this straight: Leftists want 16 year olds to vote. They want 12 year olds to be able to consent to sex changes. But they don’t want those same teenagers to read conservative opinions on social media, only Blue Sky? Their agenda is pretty obvious.

Want some truth? We weren’t supposed to know about Henry Nowak… If we did find out about Henry we were supposed to think he was the racist aggressor. They were caught. The People are rising up. X did that. Now Starmer wants to stop it from ever happening again. Simple.

Exactly

True

It goes way beyond gender discourse, this is the whole engine of liberalism >identify a human relationship under tension >offer a commodified, legible, transactional version of that relationship to the weaker party >pay for it by coercing the more powerful party >win a client, neutralize a rival power structure

This, but not just railway cars, but absolutely everything -- everything -- that made the 19th-century Western world the zenith of civilization itself. Because progressivism only ever does one thing, and that is to make the world worse.

We traded the timeless, handcrafted luxury of 19th-century Pullman Company Cars for sterile plastic and cramped seats, and somehow convinced ourselves it was "progress."
