The damage they risk causing to our tongue and hence to our civilization is considerable. French is attacked from all sides, eaten away in general indifference by the invasion of Franglais which not only infects our vocabulary with useless 'live', 'pick and collect', 'cluster' which has become the government newspeak with the 'pass', but touches the syntax: like this monstrous name of 'Sorbonne University'." #EDUFRSorbonneUniversite #PoliticsNationalismFrench

"Dare to talk about anti-white racism (10 October 2021) #NewspaperFRBrdshtLeFigaro It is an assault, banal, but it is worth recounting it. According to the information available to us, on October 1, in Lyon, a young woman was returning home after an evening with her boyfriend and a couple of friends. It was then that a 'youth', as those who speak Orwellian #IRLAuthorGeorgeOrwell say, began to harass her, before insulting her by calling her a 'dirty whore', because she did not accept his advances. The person concerned did not stop there, however, and courageously rounded up his friends while yelling 'fuck his mother at this white son of a bitch', speaking of the companion of the young woman, who had spoken out. The 'young people' beat him up while the police made themselves wait a good half an hour before intervening, only to explain that there was little they could do, because such events now happened very often. The terms used by the abuser have the virtue of clarity. These events are more and more numerous, but they are always treated as news, as if they did not correspond to what must be called a form of uninhibited ethnic persecution on the part of thugs seeing the world racially and who take themselves for conquerors with the right to lay down the law in the neighborhoods they deem theirs. Because how else to name an assault where the victim is precisely designated by his skin color? These persecutions are also celebrated in rap, where there is no lack of calls to fuck France, to rape it, to dominate it, to humiliate it, some even confessing their desire to hang white people, like Nick Conrad, #IRLPresenterNickConrad he years ago, who then presented his song as a desperate gesture of resistance against a neocolonial and discriminatory France. It should also be noted that those who attack whites as whites also attack them as French. From this point of view, as long as one reads the events politically, and that one does not allow oneself to be convinced to turn them into simple miscellaneous facts, they become clearer. It is a new sovereignty which is deployed through these aggressions, which in an archaic way, seeks first of all to be exerted on the body of the women, which it is necessary to submit and humiliate. The memory of the assaults in Cologne #ToponymEuropeGermanyCologne just a few years ago comes to mind. It's no wonder that a growing number of women are internalizing a mental compass of insecurity. On the scale of history, none of this is really surprising: when the demographic composition of a society changes so abruptly, when national consciousness crumbles, and the assimilation machine #PhenomnImmigration is seized up to the point of turn against itself, it is inevitable that the most aggressive tribal reflexes will be reactivated and this even more so if the dominant discourse presents the people of the host country as illegitimate in their own country. A territorial war that does not speak its name is being played out quarter by quarter: it draws on a daily basis what historians tomorrow will probably call a clash of civilization. Because the simple reference to anti-white racism #CatchcryRacismWhite continues to cause a scandal among those who claim to represent sociological reason. Even if we find in the heart of the public space a derealizing sociological device which prevents deciphering the meaning of events, and which condemns to the social death penalty and to the most humiliating repentance anyone who dares to name reality as it is. In other words, whoever dares to name anti-white racism risks the symbolic degradation of its civic doubts. He will be marked on the extreme right, #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight and treated as a plague victim, a divisor of the French, an enemy of the Republic. And since the fear of being put on such a label is still very much alive, most politicians are silent, use periphrases, and even come to say the opposite of what they think. The lysenkization ['lyssenkisation'] #IRLScientistTrofimLysenko of sociology #LiteralFieldSociology is a major fact of our time. Paradoxically, the function of sociology today is to throw a theoretical veil over reality, #CatchcryFreedomAcademic to falsify the meaning of words, to make invisible realities which nevertheless strike everyone's gaze. The clash of civilizations taking place in France is only named to explain that it does not exist. We make a new definition of racism explaining that it is an invisible system encoded in the matrix of Western societies persecuting minorities to condemn them to a structurally unfavorable position in the social order. #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional The white would necessarily be racist, and the racist would necessarily be white. Conversely, the minority could not be racist, and even when he uses racial insults, it is in the manner of a self-defense reflex which we will be sorry but which we will refrain from qualifying as racist." #IRLScholarMathieuBockCote #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PoliticsNationalismFrench

Supplementary #MagazineAUQuilletteMattMcManus "conservatives decry postmodernism for undermining belief in traditional epistemological and moral standards. These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns. Rather than attempting to formulate alternative claims about knowledge and morality which might have some epistemic and meta-ethical tenability, postmodern conservatives reject even these standards. Instead, they largely appeal to identity as the locus for epistemic and moral validity. This is, in turn, used to rally political support for a given agenda designed to restore that identity to power." https://quillette.com/2018/05/17/emergence-rise-postmodern-conservatism/ #TheoryPostmodernConservatism #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/

"It has already been four months since the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Frédérique Vidal, V announced an investigation into Islamo-leftism at universities. Since this date, no official communication on the announced report. As if the loud cries uttered, from petitions to press releases, by hundreds of academics, Conference of University Presidents (CPU) and CNRS in the lead, in the name of academic freedom and the non-existence of said Islamo-leftism arguments which, moreover, were contradictory - had immediately overcome the ministerial concern. Further: instead of being content with this discreet burial, some protesters have just filed an appeal before the Council of State against the initiative of Frédérique Vidal, wishing, it seems, to make him pay for his initial desire. Unless the very recent and discreet signal from the ministry (the work continues) has reignited their fear? Regardless, this excess of outraged virtue proves counterproductive. Courageous voices (Pascal Bruckner, Pierre-André Taguieff, Philippe d'Iribarne, Nathalie Heinich, Mathieu Bock-Côté, among others), are rising to denounce the ongoing intellectual and political drift. A report from the Observatory of Decolonialism and Identity Ideologies, composed of academics, has just, given the ministerial silence, drawn up an edifying inventory: themes of conferences, titles of works and articles, job profiles or calls for projects show the impressive penetration of the new progressive science into French research. Because this movement goes far beyond Islamo-leftism alone. In fact, it aims to be, according to its own words, 'intersectional', that is to say, pointing out the convergence of <discriminations>>>> based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, ability physical, etc. However, far from being in the minority as it readily presents itself, the intersectional paradigm, as the Observatory of Decolonialism has just calculated, weighs no less than half of the items listed in the databases. in social sciences. Not that these themes should be rejected a priori: the question of gender, the history of slavery or the mental remnants of colonization are important and legitimate objects of study; but it is another thing to make it the exclusive reading prism of 'The affectio societatis, that is to say the common desire to associate, a condition of society, is filled by the denunciation of the fantasized mechanisms of 'domination' which seem to govern all human relationships. our societies.
