I consider myself an old-school liberal and I loathe the woke. Therefore, I no longer watch current American films because I refuse to be preached at by snotty, PRIVILEGED millennials of any race or ethnicity. Both the far left and far right are fomenting division and making this country is a cesspool of racial animosity.

No itтАЩs the тАШcenter-leftтАЩ and the far-right, but I get your point.

Amy Klobuchar and Richard Spencer have the same ideology.

Amy Spencer? Richard Klobuchar?

OT - but whenever I hear "Klobuchar" I think "Frau Blucher"

I know who the woke are. Who are the far right that are dividing this country, specifically? This is not a both sides do it. One side is massive and extremely well funded and ingrained in all major institutions, academies, and media and the other side, this far right side is what exactly? A handful of pissed off people living in rural America, working class stiffs? With little agency or voice. This тАЬfar rightтАЭ mob where is it and who leads it? Seems to me it is a straw man used to distract.

I agree that the majority of academics and media are woke. However, I will take one example, Tucker Carlson's promotion of "the great replacement theory," a clear dogwhistle to anti-immigrant sentiments. If you cannot see that this is as biased as the woke, then you are only focused on one side of the equation.

I see it on both sides and it horrifies me.

See what specifically? A few individuals vs corporations and universities, foundations, media, big tech? ItтАЩs we the people against the big money now. There is no тАЬfar rightтАЭ institutions of power that exist in this country. Hell even the military is woke. So who are you talking about? Tucker? One guy?

Any majority European ("white") nation must have demographic changes via immigration to end that status. Canada, USA, EU, Australia, NZ. Russia and some former Soviet states seem alone in avoiding this. Maybe Argentina too.

Any majority non-white nation is fine and there is no call for increased diversity to improve their culture. The rest of the world.

Is that what "great replacement theory" means? Because it doesn't seem so much like a theory as current events.

You make my case for me. One voice in the media, and on Fox, does not come anywhere near the firepower on the тАЬdominant narrativeтАЭ side. There is no equivalent тАЬrightтАЭ side. Singling out a lone voice or two is not equivalence. There is no power institution willing or able to stand up to the left. It is just us тАЬnon-narrativesтАЭ. And that is if we have the courage to speak out and stop supporting the lies. Substack, Rumble, etc. I also think that Tucker pointing out the massive effort to flood the country with illegals is a good thing. Otherwise you would not even know what was happening on the border. Citizenship is good as are borders. But we need to protect both. This country does have a racism problem and it is coming from the left, blatantly.

Barron - we are preached at by SJWs that there is no such thing a racism without "power". Well, since they have the power ...

So where are the lawsuits enforce federal laws against racism? Where is congress standing up to the new racist? The left would already have judicial decisions in their favor against anything they perceive as bad. Where are the lawyers for liberty and freedom, for existing laws? ItтАЩs pretty pathetic. No actions.

Dog whistles are only heard by dogs. Are you a dog?

I have tried to be very respectful. Why do you feel the need to be personally insulting?

Sorry Adrienne, I'm tired of the phrase "dog whistle." Yes, everyone is biased out there. They preach to their own believers. Nothing new.
