(0328)(0443)
Each reader who adds something at one of the connected sites we could call Unherdables for short, brings a perspective, plus a personality, different to the others … duh.
Also hobbyhorses, tropes etc.
There’s such wildly divergent language used too, whether cross-pond or cross-generation. There’s net language too, such as: “I watched it so you don’t have to.” Very true, esp. so with vlogs and podcasts which largely, as a blogger, I can’t tolerate as some ego or set of egos on “the show” get into discursive rambling, jargon, narcissism … and often the jargon is generation, geography, political stance.
This post is about “conservative feminism” or “covert feminism”, referring to women mainly, maybe Gen X to early Zoomer (another newish term) and if you’re still reading this, medal’s on the way in the mail/post.
The guy is annoying because he goes on and on and on about two or three talking points … stretches it out to fifteen minutes. Trouble is, she does too. Both are online “tubers”, she’d been away by this video, who knows why but she was welcomed back by Gen X/Millennials as a long lost friend. Guy was too … read comments, this was a big thing to many … they all speak of some guy Andrew Wilson, a MGTOW I presume, Aug 64 born, so early Gen X, sort of a Vox Day.
Phew … whoa. Why would our demographic be remotely interested in any of this young person topic? Answer … probably would not, except in passing, hence the idea Tom Paine brought:
“Not only does (James) blog about a wide range of subjects … sometimes individual posts cover a lot of ground! His is a magpie mind and nothing human is alien to him.”
There was also something about it being like the Scottish weather … wait five minutes (and it will change). Maybe. Point is … yes, I’m looking at the dating scene today. Not remotely into it today personally, in fact I’d run a mile not to be in it … a curious thing happened about six weeks ago actually. I thought I might look up my first true romantic partner from when I was fifteen. Why? Coz tech makes it possible today. Sure enough, there she was.
One expression she used was that she sensed I had unresolved issues. Uh, possibly true, now resolved. At the same time, all these stats were coming out about the invasion, the takeover of the west, our fertility rate, partnering and marrying rate within our own cultures and it was easier and more productive to pursue that, rather than my own rankling issue.
And in doing so, this latest Jed Bila and Rollo Tomassi vlog came up (link above) … useful, thought I … the female plus male perspective, both, challenging each other face to face. Both seemingly NYC, which is not a representative sample of the west, also left-liberal underpinned, no two ways.
Back to the topic of “conservative feminism” or “covert feminism”, starts around 24:24 in the video.
They had a laugh about Tomi Lahren, maybe early Millennial, “conservative” voice on The View for awhile, just as Jed Bila also later was. The latter disses the former (girls, remember) as still having much Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem about her, still actually being “Modern Woman” but at the same time wanting to paint on this veneer of conservatism, being “rightwing”, coz that’s the cool thang today.
In fact she is not with trad values at all … it’s just not in her soul, given her upbringing/education today … she still wants it all, not the slightest concept of “being shackled” to a man, esp. a “trad” man … therefore, in Jed Bila’s language, she’s damaged goods like the rest, inc. the silly Woke-left girls/women, wanting the cake plus other good looking bits of other cakes … and to eat them too.
Greed. Hypergamy. Damage. Long term damage, only vaguely seen after The Wall, after it’s too late to bother seeing. Damaged goods, the western female condition today.
And the man? He’s on about “body count”, as Jed Bila also is … he points out, quite rightly, that it’s an enormous turnoff to a man, high body count in a female, it blights the whole “dating scene”, which thankfully I missed altogether in my travels. In fact it looked very sad. I’d been to a concert in a California foothills 90s summer with my hosts’ daughter, maybe 35, and on the path to the evening ampitheatre was a roped off area to the right for “singles”, so I was told … all furiously socialising as if there were no tomorrow. Very ghettoish, very corralled, very embarrassing, very sad. No thanks.
So damaged, so damaging. It was happenstance that I was with this lady, obviously checking me out too … teacher she was. On the other hand … that was the 90s, at least it was still our demographic, if different nations … none of today’s rape/murder/inundation complications.
So, back to this covert feminazi, pretend conservative (votes Tory but is Lib Demmish … a Sarah Pochin type … middle to upper middle, aspiring … “modern” conservative, women can do anything better, world’s my oyster type).
Just one last thing from their discussion on the vlog … he pointed out that with a 0 or 1 body count, a female has her dating perspective set … Jed B agreed … everyone else is measured against the first high impact partner. However, once the female racks up two, four, seven, twenty-five partners, then the odds say she’ll have maybe three exes to measure others against, which starts getting messy and kills “aura” or that pair-bonding ability … in short, she (plus he of course) are now 304s, maybe not even aware of that.
Which, to my mind, militates against “us” (our political corner of the sphere) being able to re-establish western society the trad way, thereby preserving it. A demonic dilemma.
So much greed, covetousness abounding today, me me me.
Anyway, it’s 0443 and DAD has just dropped his drop … ta, DAD.
