By coincidence with Joomi Kim’s latest video (see below), Quillette has just posted an interview with Benedict Bekeld, author of Oikophobia: Our Western Self-Hatred, the book at the centre of much discussion.
Helen Andrews might not have fully demonstrated her thesis that women are at the centre or the cause of civilisational collapse, but much of what she asserts about the general difference between female and male moral thinking and decision-making makes sense and is observable. The script of this video is below.
Do you want to put it into a single sentence? You could say that feminisation equals wokeness. Everything you could think of as wokeness is simply an epiphenomenon (a by-product) of demographic feminisation.

The above is a declaration uttered by a ranting black activist in Joomi Kim’s video. It would be pointless to say, in reply, that one should survey the social status of the black population in America (there are abundant statistics), then survey the civilisational status of the black African states and then compare them with the countries of the West that are centuries ahead in every measure of civilisation.
In recent years, I have mused on the fact, everywhere evident, that I have the privilege of living during times of civilizational collapse. I must sit back of an evening and watch my kind destroying what took centuries to develop.
‘Diversity is our strength’ is incoherent. It’s a political slogan dreamt up by the left to support their dominance. Unity is a nation’s strength and is won by agreements. Agreements cannot be established between people who hate each other or who are incompatible with the foundational agreements of unity.
Apart from the gushing over Richard Armitage/John Thorton, for which I have little feeling, I found this a very interesting presentation that came out of the blue on my feed. I agree with the presenter. North and South, the television series, based on Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel of the same name, is one of the best of its type. Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe are perfect in the roles of John Thornton and Margaret Hale, whose lips are mesmerising. As for Fitzwilliam Darcy, I think there’s enough in Pride and Prejudice to suggest he would have been pretty tough as a landowner.

Here’s another proof that the government-taxpayer-funded ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a media propagandist instrument for the woke class. Funding for the ABC must be an issue in the 2028 federal election.
This is an interesting account of how the university English Department drifted from its original purpose, which is the study and assessment of the Canon of English literature, but there is no doom prediction in the survey. Indeed, Adam Walker senses a renewed interest in reading and literature, but outside the university.
The video below presents an interesting discussion about Netflix’s coming version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as compared with previous productions. I made the following comment about the previous productions:
The 1980 version with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul lacks the production values of the 1995 and 2005 versions, but it is more faithful to the story and the characters. Colin Firth may appeal to the female audience, but he does not play Jane Austen’s Darcy. Though without the same appeal, David Rintoul is closer to Austen’s Darcy. I invite people to actually read Jane Austen’s descriptions of Darcy and the dialogue he has in the story. The same holds for Elizabeth Garvie’s Lizzie, who maintains her sweetness and refinement while tearing Darcy apart in the drawing room scenes. Jennifer Ehle’s Lizzie is too vulgar to be an authentic Jane Austen Lizzie. As for Mr Collins, the two actors who played the part in the later versions made a farce of the character, particularly David Bamber in the 1995 version. Mr Collins was a pompous fool, but, as Charlotte Lucas pointed out, he was educated with a respectable position in society. He didn’t eat like a grunting pig. I regularly watch the 1980 version and enjoy it each time.
Lisa Jane Spencer has suffered a monumental mob attack since her recent satire on Aboriginal identification. Fortunately, she hasn’t caved in. Indeed, she’s determined to push on, as the reel HERE demonstrates.
I commented previously that her parody was based on accurate evidence. The rules for Aboriginal identification are so loose as to require a mere feeling of being Aboriginal. Check the rules if you don’t believe me.
