Today’s aggregated news behind the news, updated throughout the day.

Storming the beaches of the Culture War, covering the latest Woke Supremacy, Mass Formation Psychosis, Big Brother and other items.

Featuring occasional commentary from our in-house writers.



Black Lives Matter. The best social justice organisation that money can buy… evidently – BrandX. 


This latest episode reminds me of why I generally don’t patronize Amazon any more… other than for purchases of books and items that their New Ruling Class management would rather not be selling.

Good timing for this development as well, because I have had my hard copy of Matt Walsh’s ‘Johnny The Walrus’ on pre-order (in the UK) for months and apparently it has just been dispatched tonight – BrandX.




X-Men ’97 head writer Beau DeMayo has suggested that the Disney Plus revival of the Marvel series will see a focus on “today’s world.”…

Yup, we all know what that means – BrandX. 



A little bit off topic for us, Putin showing signs of Parkinsons… but certainly interesting. Pretty good channel as well.

I’d suggest some other work and books from this guy (the YouTuber, Fernando ‘Ferfal’ Aguirre, not Vladimir Putin!). 

See these listed in our Recommended Reading section here such as Street Survival Skills and also The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse.  As I say, he has a pretty good channel which makes for good binge watching when in the moodBrandX. 




“F*** you, I’m talking!”…

There it is. The unhinged authoritarian voice of wokeism right there. But as always, Ben Shapiro handles it like a gent.

And this audience member has a really misguided take on the definition of wokery.

I always go back to Eric Kauffmann, Professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London and Board Member for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology whom defined ‘woke’ in an April 2021 interview as:

“(the) sacrilisation of historically disadvantaged race, gender and sexual minorities”.

Not quite the same as is suggested here. The young lad also has a warped slant on free speech. Confusing it with the freedom to hijack a Q and A session. Boo hoo, they took the mic away from him after 5mins of intense awkwardness – BrandX. 




History will not look favourably on this man. Nor will it on his cheerleaders. I suspect several celebratory social media posts from November 2020 will vanish at some later stage. They haven’t aged well – BrandX. 












Not really culture war related, but we do delve into pop culture crossover news, so let’s tail end today’s on a positive note. And this film evidently has no wokery in it. This seems rare for a legacy movie in 2022.

Apparently it’s VERY good. Not the best audio here, but Andy Signore is a pretty reliable reviewer. Not a shill for the studios. He got falsely #metoo’ed a while back, so he’s kind of outside the system. His other channel, ‘Popcorned Planet’ is worth a look – BrandX.
