This is what the world looked like before mass immigration, widespread racial and gendered guilt activism, and before bankers had totally screwed the economy for their own gain. People were just allowed to be themselves, and they did fun, wholesome things for their own sake.
Well observed! If you care to be more specific about it, it's a music video from a time, and a place, made by a situated people with particular characteristics. It isn't some unsituated thing that occupies a nowhere in notime by a universal human.

Yes. It is representative of the time in which it was made. I am commenting on this. Commentary is when you observe features of a thing that you wish to bring to the attention of others. Other people are people who are not you.

It is fascinating the different approach to justice that the Germanic tribes had compared to the ancient Near East and Mediterranean. The Near East/Med took the approach that people could not be made virtuous and therefore had to be terrorised into obedience. The Germanics were just basically decent people who were all well-habituated into good customs. This is according to their enemies, the Romans.
Germanic society had such a diffuse culture of responsibility that the Germans didn't get a written code of laws until the 5th century, which was heavily influenced by the Romans. The first authentic Germanic written legal system was compiled by Alfred the Great in the 8th Cent
The major difference was actually not in the crimes themselves nor the punishments, but in the approach. For the Southerners, law was something divine and given by heaven, and the king was given his power in order to impose this justice on a venal mankind.

It's finally getting so bad in England that the migrants are self-deporting. Image
From another video on the same subject: they came because they thought they'd get free stuff. Turns out that millions coming raised the rents and inflation is eating them out of house and home. It's time to leave, they think. Image
I wonder why the UK is not at all what it used to be. 🤔 Image

Recently, Elon Musk was on Joe Rogan's podcast and did an excellent job of explaining to an otherwise uninitiated audience how the woke mind virus operates.

Elon begins by explaining why he purchased Twitter/X: woke controlled this highly-influential platform.
Elon understands the power of ideas. He uses the example of San Francisco to show that it wasn't material conditions that failed, but the bad ideas implemented which run counter to human nature.
When you take a philosophy that stigmatises what it is to be human, and give it power and scope, you end up with a kind of pro-extinctionist death cult.

The preface to The Delectible Negro describes the British interviewing rescued slaves, who thought they were going to be eaten by the Europeans. The British had no idea where they had got such an idea, and presumed that this is what would have happened to them in Africa. 🤷‍♂️

This is taking the concept of "lived experience" to a whole new level. Image
Spoiler: the English did not eat this man. Image
