If an American film maker or author said that effeminate men were a disgraceful role model to show children in books or movies he would be finished overnight.\u00a0 His movies or books would be burned in a bonfire at every university and Silicon Valley campus.\u00a0 He would be banned on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.\u00a0 He\u2019d never work in Hollywood or have another book published and he might even have his credit cards and bank accounts shut down.<\/p>\n
And yet Chinese leaders said that very thing a few months ago.\u00a0 And Russia\u2019s leaders express the same disdain for America\u2019s LGBTQ fetish.\u00a0 Hollywood has catered to the Chinese market for the last ten years at least.\u00a0 They self-censor their movies to prevent offending Chinese sensibilities on politics and social subjects.\u00a0 But when Hollywood hears Chinese leaders saying such things, they keep quiet.\u00a0 Cancel culture can\u2019t go after Xi Jinping.\u00a0 First off because they need his money, secondly because he\u2019s not ruled by Google.\u00a0 China has control, strict control on its on-line ecosystem.\u00a0 In America Facebook can cancel the President of the United States.\u00a0 In China the General Secretary can cancel Facebook, or Twitter or any other tech presence that displeases him.<\/p>\n
And moving beyond social media China has its own financial systems that are beginning to emerge out of the shadow of Western banks and the Fed\u2019s dollar infrastructure.\u00a0 Russia has recently negotiated a trade agreement that will allow it to sell oil and gas using China\u2019s yuan currency instead of the dollar.\u00a0 And likewise, instead of Visa and Mastercard, China has its own credit card platform (UnionPay) that Russia will be shifting over to.\u00a0 Perhaps in the not-too-distant future American conservatives might find themselves using that same credit platform after they\u2019ve been bounced out of the American credit systems.\u00a0 We might have to pay a premium to do it but knowing that your livelihood isn\u2019t at the mercy of social justice warriors would be incredibly liberating.<\/p>\n
The next thing to explore is the cultural products of these other cultures.\u00a0 Maybe the Russians and Chinese have movies and books that are more in line with the tastes of the cancelled conservatives living in the West.\u00a0 I\u2019d hate to think I\u2019ll have to learn Mandarin and Russian to enjoy a comedy or a drama but technology can come to the rescue on that.\u00a0 Seamless computer-generated voice and lip dubbing could create English language versions of foreign films in the near future.\u00a0 It\u2019s been at least twenty years since I could say that the majority of the best picture nominees for the Academy Awards were watchable.\u00a0 Lately I doubt that even the target audience for these movies are interested in watching these pathetic excuses for entertainment.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s entirely possible that some non-Western country will rediscover the formulae that Golden Age Hollywood used to entertain the whole world in the 1930\u2019s and -40\u2019s.\u00a0 We\u2019re all entertained by the story of boy meets girl, not trans-boy meets trans-girl.\u00a0 We want a crime story where the cops are the good guys, not a story of heroic Antifa burning down Portland.<\/p>\n
Sure, the idea that we will have to depend on non-Western countries to provide us with commercial and cultural choices that we can\u2019t find here in the cradle of freedom and land of capital opportunity is a rebuke of our civilization but as a practical consideration it would be the solution we need.\u00a0 At least until sanity returns to the West.\u00a0 Now it may turn out that choices will start to appear in America.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen that payment processors have appeared that will defy the cancel culture police and cater to the deplorables.\u00a0 Maybe soon movies will be created in America for normal men and women.\u00a0 But even these innovations may be driven to some extent by the knowledge that some non-Western nations are immune to the attacks of the cancel culture warriors.\u00a0 So, death to the global empire and long live cultural diversity, and down with the cancel culture.\u00a0 At least until I get the whip hand, then we\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
