Western Resistance

Peggy McIntosh wrote Unpacking the Invisble Knapsack in 1989 and the affects of it are still being felt today. It is one of those essays that makes you wonder what ever happened to rigor and critical thinking. In this podcast, I take a look at the essay and give my opinion on what about it is right and what is wrong.

White male privilege is what allows people to use directly racist language against whilst at the same time preventing you from doing the same thing back. It is ultimately wrongheaded but it's worse than that. It opens the door for a great many agents that will not serve our society at all well. Enjoy this, the first of a four part series on the topic.

Michel Foucault was one of the leading thinkers that has lead to the postmodernist crisis that presentely grips The West. While he himself is not the direct cause of our issues at hand, he did open the door for them. 

There is a lingering threat to Western society. It is hundreds of thousands of years old. It has the power to turn men ultra powerful and make women powerless. It is known as hypergamy.

This podcast takes a look at the modus operandi employed by the agents of change in The West right now. We cover what post structuralism, neo-marxism, activism and what is going on in the universities at present.

There is something out there that wants the world you live in to end. I'm not joking. To be clear, what they want want to end is;- Marriage;- Freedom of Speech;- Democracy;- Private property;- Law and order;- Individualism;- Nations;- History and moreThe name of that which would end all the above and more, is Neo-marxism. Given the seriousness of that list, I suggest you listen to this podcast.

With the fall of modernism and the end of the enlightment, new epistemological threats have emerged in Western thought. It started with an American analytic philosopher out of Ohio and a wealthy genuis out of Austria. It gathered pace with French intellectuals in the 60's. Along the way it became organised and proficient at the hands of university students and activist. By now, it has redefined defintions and meanings. Every word you speak is a trap waiting to be sprung. The defence of Free Speech has been bipassed as the more you speak the guiltier you are. Meaning has long since surcombed to insanity dressed up as sheer logic.Its time for you to learn about Post Structuralism. It's time for you to resist.Join me.

In this episode and list my issues with th notion of privilege. Most importantly, I wonder if we are not back dooring ourselves with a meta ethical definition of good we are not ready for.

The essay Unpacking the Invisibly Knapsack by Peggy McIntosh, publish in 1988, is an oft quoted source of supposed instances of white privilege. In this podcast I work through her 47 instances of white privilege and give my opinion on what I think if each. I try and work them into 4 basic categories:Is white privilegeIsn't white privilegeIs racism downgraded to white privilegeIs just the experience of being a minority in a population and not race related at all
