I am a Canadian conservative. I am opposed to Climate Hysteria, Open Borders, Anti-Free Speech Leftists, Trump Derangement, Trump Adoration, Biden’s Corruption, Voting For The Demented, The Lying MSM, Change For The Sake of Change, Trendoidism, The British Monarchy. And last but not least Justin Trudeau.
I support moderation in all things except lying, transgenderism, veganisn, homosexualty and watching soccer - although it is fun to play.
I can't quibble with much of that list - but I don't have a problem with homosexuality. I don't really think it's anyone else's business who others choose to sleep with (as long as we're talking about adults).
Yes that's true. I've always had a little bee in my bonnet about crediting the actual song WRITER S. I guess it's because as a young man I used to write and record my own songs....I wanted to be the next Bob Dylan! Hey Ho
I had a home recording set-up too. I had a lot of fun but almost zero talent for production. I think I wrote some half-decent songs that would have been listenable to if only I had any slight talent at production!
I agree with your general stance on crediting the original artists.
We obviously share an interest here. I would be interested in your comments about this article of mine (and in particular my 'greatest songs' YouTube snippets): https://thecritic.co.uk/top-of-the-pops/
We might have some different opinions about what should be included in the classic list - but that's half of the fun and joy of music.
It might be just my age but there seems to be a certain "memorability" factor that is missing in some of today's output.
You immediately know some of the old classics within maybe the first bar or two :
The first octave jump of "Somewhere over the rainbow" is so iconic, for example.
It's raining men - such a lot of fun
I will survive
And it was practically genetically coded that you picked up a guitar and played Stairway
It's hard to single out any one track from Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album - they could almost all be on a classics list.
What about some of the beautiful arrangements and progressions from the Carpenters - not to mention *that* voice?
Smoke on the Water - probably even more genetically coded into a guitar player. Such an iconic riff.
Or Bridge over Troubled Water
Louis - probably the most influential musician of the 20th century - and his Wonderful World
La bamba, Layla, and who the hell shot the sheriff anyway?
There are just too many and given another hour I could probably come up with several hundred that I'd put on a classic list - and in a week's time that list would be much larger.
I think your assessment of only 600 classics is out by at least an order of magnitude 🤣
But your list included quite a lot I'm not familiar with. I know what I'm going to be spending the next hour or two doing!
Great stuff! A few years ago my youngest daughter asked me to compile a playlist for her wedding bash. Before I could stop myself, I was over 100.... would've been a long night if she'd taken it literally!
Thanks. Oh OK then. The Troggs are most famous for Wild Thing (well worth a listen) and Love is all Around was one of their follow ups. I know all this because I was a teenager in the 60s obsessed with pop music.... I'm guessing you're a relative youngster.
Appreciate that. Yes, when I was younger I was wary about claiming the name "conservative" because I didn't want to keep the world exactly as it was, after all. But it doesn't mean that, it means a recognition that people in the past were not idiots, that long-established customs might be long-established for a good reason and we shouldn't casually destroy them, and that we shouldn't unthinkingly assume newer is better.
And all this insanity orchestrated using many false claims of the least scientific subject ( virology) promoted by the least reputable humans ( politicians) for carrying out evil agendas created by the shadow people you will never know the identity of.. for reasons you will never be privy to ... ever.
well, other than disagreeing with you (as you know) about virology - I can't say I disagree.
It all has the feel of orchestration, rather than an unfortunate series of blunders generated by panic or political expediency.
Governments who went down the "covid safe" route didn't get **anything** right. That's quite a spectacular achievement. The fact that so many all just did the same things, perpetrated the same absurdities (and obvious absurdities), was a huge signal that something wasn't quite "organic" about the whole thing.
We've got plenty other disasters puttering along nicely, so we didn't really have time to get into gear for Covid. Sorry 'bout that, if we get our house in order maybe we can partake in the next one?
Also, the feeble attempts at mandates et c over here and the very vocal, very visible responses to them made it clear that while the chattering soy-toys of Sissy-swamp and Bribesville* would gleefully go into full-on "Govern me harder, daddy"-mode, the rest of the cities and the contry basically said 'Eff off' to that. (Not to mention our laws make the kind of mandates and stuff you all suffered illegal to even attempt.)
Gekås Ullared shopping center (so huge it has its own hotel and camping site for visitors) got told "maximum 500 customers per unit at any one time". Right-ho, they installed partitioning walls divvying up the space into smaller units - 500 customers per unit, sorted. Sort-of an "Come at me, bro"-attitude.
Assyrians, syrians and other such held public weddings and funerals in Slöddertälje**, with hundreds in atendance. Mosques gave sweet merry no fucks at all for "max 50 visitors per sermon".
People masking were mocked and even ridiculed - openly - outside the wokest areas. Public transit insisted you couldn't embark at the front of the bus for fear of Covid, so the driver's area was roped off using tape. That alone I think got people to realise that it was all hysteria.
Police basically told the politicians to "Go Fuck themselves" when they started making noises about people publicly protesting even the suggestion of mandates of any kind, since the same politicians had told the police to not stop the illegally held BLM-marches (in reality: Antifa, EXPO, and local Socialist Democrat politician-activists co-opting 'the BLM-brand').
What I find appalling is how foreign journalists stationed here basically refused to cover the situation and how we didn't lock-down, and were (and remain!) the better off for it.
*Stockholm is commonly called Fjollträsk in the countryside; Sissy-swamp. Göteborg (Gothenburg) is so rife with corruption it's gotten the nickname "Muteborg", "muta" being bribe in swedish, both noun and verb.
**Södertälje south of Stockholm has been nick-named Slöddertälje for 50 years or more, due to it having been a dumping-ground for undesirables (as in: CHAVs of various ethnicities), crime, violence and drug-abuse. "Slödder" means "human trash".
I still have a great deal of trouble understanding the *magnitude* of the lunacy - and all for a virus that, basically, is almost indistinguishable in overall consequence from a bad flu year.
Sweden - the home of flat-pack furniture, ridiculously pungent tinned fish, and common sense!
I'm sure you can point out lots of things you don't like about current Swedish trends and attitudes, but as far as covid went, we all owe an enormous debt of gratitude. Almost single-handedly in Europe and the "developed" world they revealed just how naked the emperor really was.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen. Now we all know the words: mandate, masking, vaxxed, lockdown, social distancing etc... it's all embedded now. Job done, population primed.
On the plus side, though, is that there are significantly *more* people who are not at all happy with things and who can see how much they were manipulated, lied to, and controlled.
Whether it's enough to stem the tide of the primed pillocks remains to be seen.
Conservatism in Britain has aptly been described as Left Liberalism with a Slight Time Delay.
"The thirty-odd years since the....Thatcher 1980s have not been a happy time for right-of-centre administrations [in the UK]. This is despite having been allotted plenty of years ‘in power’ by voters wanting them to fight their traditional corner. They certainly did not vote for the cultural dismemberment that actually happened in those years but most tend nevertheless to accept all the ‘woke’ nonsense around them with a shrug, a bit like they accept the weather. But a new, fiercer wind is blowing – particularly in America. Exasperation at a decades-long failure to stand up to the great Progressive Leviathan is what is blowing it....." https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/mrs-thatcher-and-the-good-life
The right and left political parties in the US have changed in the same way. My guess is the right questioned the vaccine only because the Biden was in office. If Trump stayed in the white house for another term, the left would have been questioning the vaccine.
You kept using the word "people" as if the problem wasn't almost ENTIRELY restricted to WOMEN - especially WEIRD (also AWFL) women.
Sure, there were a few high profile men involved - but AS WITH ALL NONSENSE (LGBTQ+, the Cult of Thermaggedon, horoscopy, dream-catchers, crystals, "The Secret") the support is 90/10 female.
Name me a variety of nonsense that isn't dominated by the fairer, slightly-dumber sex. Sportsball, motor racing, porn and gambling, I guess - but NOBODY pretends that any of those things is a virtue.
There is a reason St Gretchen of Aspberg - child saint of the Climate Cult - is a brain-damaged teenage girl. She epitomises the gullibility of young women.
There is a reason that these movements rely on slogans and other marketing gimmickry - like "influencers" (again, virtually ALL of those are women).
Also... as a statement of general tendency -
MEN were not wearing jewellery that publicised their jab status.
MEN were not adding syringes, or Ukraine and rainbow flags to their anti-SocialMedia profiles.
MEN are massively under-represented in this "pronouns" bullshit.
MEN (and particularly WHITE men) are over-represented in "deaths of despair" - especially suicide - which were a PREDICTABLE corollary to lockdowns.
Plus, we're too busy keeping the functional bits of the world running - the power, water, and sewage grids; the energy system; the road and internet networks; the mining sector.
Maybe if households had less electricity, WIERD women would have less free time to fill their heads with absolutely fucking nonsense.
Yep. Probably not a popular view, but that's pretty much nailed it.
Females score higher on agreeableness and neuroticism, and that tends to drive them as cohort towards many of the loony trends we currently see such as extreme concerns for safety (we will do anything if it saves one life!), everybody has to agree therefore dissent must be cancelled etc etc.
I was looking through the Facebook timeline of a female acquaintance last night. It was full of "Whoopee I've just been vaccinated" and "The Unvaccinated should be shunned and imprisoned" posts. Utterly deranged.
Whilst I think there may be a small *tendency* towards a safety-inspired derangement on sex lines because of the *trends* you mention regarding things like agreeableness, I don't think it's quite as cut and dried. There were, and are, a whole lot of men similarly afflicted with idiocy.
My husband went for the jabs (untested combo of untested brands to make it even worse), I did not (I am a woman with a uterus BTW). He bragged about it and I felt so embarrassed. He religiously reads the MSM and distrust anything that they don’t publish. He supports censorship and thinks he has an open mind and a scientific approach...
Please keep your misogynistic thoughts to yourself and avoid making broad generalizations, we don’t need any of this if we hope to survive what TPTB have in store for us.
=== keep your misogynistic thoughts to yourself ===
What an absolute Karen move.
The statistical FACT that women are dumber than men is not 'misogynistic': it's just a fact. As a result there are fewer women in the IQ region capable of syncretic analysis on any matter of moderate complexity.
Little wonder that YouTube, Twitter and Facebook find it so easy to implement censorship - all they have to do is find the right phrasing and eventually they will get EVERY woman to unleash their inner Karen.
And the fact that your 'other half' is a jab-happy who happens to be a male is an ANECDOTE. It's an anecdote that makes me think he's a midwit.
I'll show you a couple of really simple examples that show why anecdotes are unreliable.
(1) I'm quarter-Maori, and I've never committed spousal violence.
That anecdote does not alter the fact that Maori men are several times more likely to do so, than white men.
If you select a Maori bloke at random, it's quite unlikely that he's violent towards his spouse.
But if you pick 1000 of them, there will be about 4x more spouse-abusers than there would be in 1000 white men.
(2) On a lighter note: my uncle is half-Maori and he's a cardiologist.
YET... Most Maori men aren't cardiologists, and most cardiologists aren't Maori.
(He's also very unlikely to have domestic-violenced his wife)
Anyhow... the fact that there are SOME men who fell for the Pfizer nonsense, does not alter the HUGELY tilted sex/gender ratio in Covidians, Long-Covidians, and Jab Advocates.
Likewise, most people who contracted Monkeypax were hyper-promiscuous gay men: that's not a "homophobic" fact - it's just a fact.
If you would like hard data on the over-representation of women's involvement in the nonsense I enumerated (dream-catchers, horoscopes, "The Secret") I would be happy to provide it.
There are plenty of stupid men - as I made clear, that is an emergent property of a population whose IQ has a larger variance (more geniuses and - symmetrically - more morons).
That's literally the problem: the VAST bulk of women are midwits - which is precisely why they have the midwit inability to distinguish between (a) anecdotes and (b) groupwise characteristics.
I'm not going to agree with you here, because there were an awful lot of men who went batshit crazy too. I don't really see it as a gendered issue (I probably should say sexed issue, because gender is a shitty, meaningless, word - but here I'm using it as a synonym)
I am a Canadian conservative. I am opposed to Climate Hysteria, Open Borders, Anti-Free Speech Leftists, Trump Derangement, Trump Adoration, Biden’s Corruption, Voting For The Demented, The Lying MSM, Change For The Sake of Change, Trendoidism, The British Monarchy.

I can't quibble with much of that list - but I don't have a problem with homosexuality. I don't really think it's anyone else's business who others choose to sleep with (as long as we're talking about adults).
I also oppose rushed experimental vaccines and mandates.
Thanks Rudolph. You are an island of sanity in a sea of insanity.
Thanks Stephen - much appreciated.
Most of the time I'm feel like I'm just trying to get my head round the la-la loopy world we seem to have got stuck in
Agreed. Dr Rigger’s a gem floating in a sea of shit, as my dear departed old man would say.
Thanks Drew - again much appreciated.
I kind of feel like I'm lost at sea half the time - the world has all gone a bit cock-eyed
Sorry to be a pedant but Love is All Around was a song by The Troggs (Wet Wet Wet's was a cover version). The song was written by Reg Presley.
It was indeed - but Wet, Wet, Wet did have a hit single with their cover version 😜
Yes that's true. I've always had a little bee in my bonnet about crediting the actual song WRITER S. I guess it's because as a young man I used to write and record my own songs....I wanted to be the next Bob Dylan! Hey Ho
I had a home recording set-up too. I had a lot of fun but almost zero talent for production. I think I wrote some half-decent songs that would have been listenable to if only I had any slight talent at production!

If Be My Baby is one of the unfamiliar ones, (though probably not) it'd be one of my top ten ever. I've just played it again and am still tingling.
Forgot to say before that I talked quite a bit about production in that piece... did you agree at all?
Great stuff! A few years ago my youngest daughter asked me to compile a playlist for her wedding bash. Before I could stop myself, I was over 100.... would've been a long night if she'd taken it literally!
Well done. I was going to make exactly the same comment, complete with the "Sorry to be a pedant" introduction.
Us pedants must stick together.
Get it off your chest.
Thanks. Oh OK then. The Troggs are most famous for Wild Thing (well worth a listen) and Love is all Around was one of their follow ups. I know all this because I was a teenager in the 60s obsessed with pop music.... I'm guessing you're a relative youngster.
I had a cat called BJ......he was born in Barkley James Harvests base drum kit, whilst in storage in i stage at shepperton studios.
I love some of BJH's stuff
Probably a good thing that the bass drum was in storage at the time - could have been an interesting addition to a concert otherwise
We've taken this post off topic haven't we? My fault.
Head off topic as much as you like - all good with me
Yes in fact I just did it again... see reply above!
You don’t have to be young to be annoying.
63
being my age
Kind of Wet Wet Wet age that!
Appreciate that. Yes, when I was younger I was wary about claiming the name "conservative" because I didn't want to keep the world exactly as it was, after all.

An idea of conservatism that comes all the way from Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France - still as true today as it was in 1790.
And all this insanity orchestrated using many false claims of the least scientific subject ( virology) promoted by the least reputable humans ( politicians) for carrying out evil agendas created by the shadow people you will never know the identity of.. for reasons you will never be privy to ... ever.

Anarchy. Deliberately maligned as a chaotic hellscape by the ruling cuntocracy. But really just this: Rules, yes. Rulers, no.
Whack whack whack scene, the meanest death machine we've ever seen. How much would you bet that necklace comes from China?
