Here is a 2021 article about left-wing bias in contemporary London theatre. It was written by the Spectator’s theatre critic, Lloyd Evans. I should begin by acknowledging that Evans is clearly not an idiot. The article is far from wholly stupid and does make some good points. However, it repeatedly shows a general attitude that I have come to expect of conservatives, and which I think dooms them to defeat by radicals.
It isn't that the "Left" have trained him to be a servile and pathetic 🐕, it's that *everything* and everyone in so-called polite and normal society has trained him thusly.
What that is worthwhile has Conservatism succeeded in conserving? It certainly has not maintained or protected the institution of marriage. Conservatism is kaput because Christianity is kaput. Christianity is kaput because the American Revolutionaries began a series of revolutions that ended Christendom in 1918.
The nature of power is who has the money to control the institutions. The nature of power is ferocious nepotism and in-group preference of a ruling racial oligarchy. And through their control of institutions, they control the minds of 85% of the sheeple - who are ALWAYS up for grabs. All it takes is to show the sheeple who's in charge and what to believe via social media, television and educational institutions. Any idea or trend, no matter how absurd or harmful to society - repeat - no matter how utterly absurd - can be popularized and made mainstream with enough money, repetition and control of our institutions.
When you actually print the money, you can easily absorb endless losses that may occur due to the inherently unnatural and unlikeable ideas you're pushing. It just takes money, which to the racially integrated oligarchs ruling us, is literally monopoly money. Empty theaters with plays that nobody watches is still effective at achieving their primary goal. It displaces what could be competing with it. It demonstrates power that everyone can see. It in itself is a humiliation ritual: "See what I can do? What are you going to do about it? Nothing, just like always." This helps to further solidify defeatism and nihilism.
At this point the financial system must collapse in order for us to have a serious shot of fighting back. And that may happen within a reasonable timeframe the way things are going. We must plot and plan for what we are going to do to take advantage of the situation when -not if - it happens. It's coming eventually...what are we going to do about it when it finally arrives? How will we rebuild a new currency - OUR currency - and reignite our own ancient racial in-group preferences and nepotism?
If we get those last two parts down, all the other parts will fall into place. Including theater that serves and nourishes us, along with everything else.
I have an unrelated comment hopefully Woes can respond to it here. I sent an entropy super chat just after the end of milleniyule about the "M" "Y" combined rune like symbol Woes suggested using as the symbol of milleniyule. I didn't realize that super chats would only be answered on telegram AMA so I have been waiting for an AMA to appear on Odyssey. Woes, can you put your AMAs starting from the beginning of 2024 on Odyssey?
Too many conservatives believe they and the Left seek the same destination by different routes. The Left has a very different agenda and a very different destination.
Too many conservatives also believe the Left is basically honorable. The Left is not honorable by philosophical conviction. Like Islam, lying, cheating and stealing are acceptable, necessary and laudable in pursuit of power and domination.
Becoming the Left is not a viable option, but neither is the naivete that is essentially disarmament.
Like you, I despair at this. The particular branch I grab to illustrate it is the analogous/connected attitude people have about bad moral character. Narcissistic and Cluster B personality disorders specifically.
They treat such people as merely misguided. Or they have "compassion" for them, because they're "ill."
We can debate the semantics of mental "illness," but it's for damned sure not the same thing as diabetes mellitus.
Personality disorders, narcissism, psychopathy--that which characterizes the modern West--are moral failings. Profound sin, immorality, and evil. These are bad people who mean us harm and will do it.
The normies? They just call me a hysteric, and "you're the narcissist lol."
Talk to me when you're choking on the dirt of your own grave that you voluntarily dug because Leader told you to. I won't be able to hear you.
Neither the Right nor 'conservatives' can win because they are continually moving into the future while staring in the rear-view mirror. Their agendas are eternally set by their enemies. You cannot win by committing oneself to giving one's enemy the initiative.
MW - I am probably about 20 yrs older than you so your point of view is understandable (albeit a little disappointing).
The quote about the ‘primary function’ of a writer is to entertain…says it all…sadly....THE Primary ‘RESPONSIBILITY’ of a writer is to entertain their audience...it is his duty, his reputation, his value, his income
I grew up in a generation where your responsibility as:
- a Doctor: was to treat their patient to best of their abilities regardless of personal or political opinions
- a Policeman (yes man): was to enforce the law regardless of the personal or political persuasions
- a Lawyer: was to represent their clients without prejudice regardless of their personal views
This is why these attitudes HAD such intrinsic value to the development and maintenance of Western Civilizations.
Yes, all of the above groups CAN influence political change but it is not your main responsibility. Personally, anyone doing this…often came across a bit of an immature, egocentric narcissistic dick stuck back in their Uni days.
You disagree… do a Ten second YT search of incidence of two-tier UK Policing and incidents related to ‘THE MESSAGE’.
This is what happens when you let personal ideology take precedence over personal responsibilities.
Were previous generations perfect? NO....but a bent-copper was socially shamed among his own for letting down their higher values. A Medical Student would never confess Josef Mengele inspired them to become a Doctor..why take an hippocratic oath?
Should some writers include political issues in their work…YES…100%!
In Star Trek Original Series…one episode covered Vietnam issues (using a proxy story about a planet)
- the writers were self aware enough not to do something like: ‘A play showing the effects of ethnic immigration on the towns of Northern England’.
- the writers were self aware enough to know that they were 'writers' NOT Members of the Foreign Policy Advisory Committee to the US Senate’
The arguments for and against were presented along with differing viewpoints…it was left to the viewer to make up their own minds…this episode is still quoted 40-50 years later….THAT is how writing influences politics!
The answer to left wing propaganda is not more forceful right wing propaganda
>His assumption that bursaries for BAME actors and crew will not affect “individuals with talent because they’ll always find a way”.
This made me see red. Such policies are pervasive throughout our institutions, artificially boosting diversity into positions of prominence while holding back white kids, boys especially of course, from finding any place within the institutions their ancestors built. Shrugging and saying, oh well if they're any good they'll find a way, as though this absolves elders from their responsibility to give the younger generation a hand up, makes me want to punch them.
Conservatism is just the junior partner to Liberalism and has never conserved anything worth conserving. It has certainly never conserved the national interest.

Conservatives fear wielding power. They are under the mistaken assumption that Lord Acton was correct, when Frank Herbert is more on target.
Excellent analysis of this Spectator article, pointing out real weaknesses among conservatives. Focused and sharpened my thinking.
I know absolutely no one, liberal or conservative, who goes to the theatre.
Mark Steyn has repeatedly said that it starts with culture
And that Politics is downwind of Culture. As the Author said, Evans has it backwards.

"Unable to influence events, they instead critique the battle from the sidelines, like chattering old women."
Old men chatter, too. At least as fruitlessly as old women.
In practice, 'conservatives' are (mostly White) people who live in the simulated universe of WWII propaganda.
You cannot win against an enemy as dynamic as anti-White-ism and anti-normalcy by just hunkering down, whining and hoping for the best.
The only way to defeat a dynamic enemy is to present them with a dynamic threat.
Only a revolutionary consciousness can defeat a revolutionary consciousness.
And that is why 'conservatives' are doomed to be fodder.
Neither the Right nor 'conservatives' can win because they are continually moving into the future while staring in the rear-view mirror. Their agendas are eternally set by their enemies. You cannot win by committing oneself to giving one's enemy the initiative.
