Over the past week I have had terrible writers block, I have sat down to write and nothing has come out. In fact I have already written more than all those other attempts combined. The real problem was that I have written on so many topics that when I became excited by a topic I found I had already written on it. Bullying check, domestic violence check and so it went on, then I thought I might do a round up of the year.
It didn't take long for 2018 to take a bad turn, when in February my Mother died. Fortunately, with three days still to go, the year didn't get any worse. I had Britfest, a celebration of British heritage and culture to help keep me busy, it was a great success and in 2019 we are doing it all over again.
On the political front The Melbourne Traditionalists has had their best year ever, something I've very happy with. We have had more people become interested in being involved, with our last meeting being the best ever in terms of number of attendees. And of course we had our First Melbourne Traditionalists Conference, which was great! I really enjoyed the talks and meeting the people, to be honest it was so exciting to see an idea come to fruition.
I also participated in my first election campaign this year the Victorian state election. I handed out leaflets for an independent candidate on our side. The day of the election was quite dark, depressing...as was the result. But on the third day I started to change my tune, the candidate received 2.5% of the vote with only two weeks campaigning. Now that isn't much of the vote but it was fourth place out of nine candidates. It got me to thinking about how to do it better and to really get our way of thinking out there. I'm looking forward to trying to put some of those ideas into practice in 2019.
Unfortunately I also found more evidence of people not thinking the problems of our times through. People who say they are against immigration but have never thought about race or ethnicity. People who hate how society is but think the changes that have occurred since the 60's are good. People who hate Feminism but think men and women are equal. It's amazing how many people cannot think logically, depressing actually.

Utopia, Why It Can Never Exist
Sir Thomas More wrote his most famous book, Utopia in 1516, although it wasn't published in English until 1551. Utopia is a Greek word meaning "no-place", over time it has taken on the meaning of another Greek word, Eutopia which means "good-place". In modern English Utopia means heaven on Earth, a perfect society.
The first book of this nature is The Republic by Plato in which he puts forward a perfect City-State. In this City-State children are not raised by their parents but by the Government, it's as nutty as a fruitcake. And there is the recurring theme in all of these Utopia's, that nuttiness never goes away.
Conservatism rejects Utopia, but non of the Ideologies do, in fact quite the opposite. They only exist so that they can push their idea of Utopia. Libertarianism, Anarchism, Liberalism, Communism all have at the end a Utopia, a perfect world, where a perfect government rules over a perfect economy and it is all filled with perfect people. What is obvious is that there is no room for unbelievers.
While it is certainly possible to believe in a Utopia and even to work towards achieving it. It is not possible for a Utopia to ever actually exist and the reason is that people and circumstances change. Because even if it were possible to achieve a state of Utopia it would never be able to remain there, things are constantly moving. People grow older, they change their opinions, their desires, they make decisions both good and bad. They do not remain a constant. Over time of course new people are born and they grew older, as do the next generation and then the next and so on. Each one wanting things that the last generation didn't think were that important. Even without technology or any new knowledge it would not be possible because of human nature.
Now those who believe in Utopia don't tend to believe that human nature exists. Instead they believe in the Blank State, that humans are born empty vessels who are ready to be filled with whatever they want to fill them with. However human nature does exist and we are born with inbuilt traits that grow as we get older. Human nature means that we desire things even if we are not told that we desire them. Ambition, lust, inquisitiveness, competition, approval, we have all of these things inside of us and they do not remain in one state.
Nor do circumstances, the weather changes, seasons change, the availability of goods change. Oil is cheap, oil is expensive, it changes things. Now extend that from one item to everything, because everything changes. It's why Communism as an economic system cannot work because there are simply to many moving parts to keep track of. That principle remains in place for economics as it does for society. Life is far too complex for a Utopia to ever really exist.

Independence Means You Have Failed
All my life I have heard Independence held up as one of the greatest ideals of our age. Men, but particularly women, should be Independent, that they should not be reliant upon any other person. Independence meant that you are free and freedom meant that you never had to compromise. What they never talk about is the cost of that freedom.
To be Independent means that you must have a well paying job, it means that you live alone, it means that relationships are of little to no importance, it means no marriage and it means no children. Look at television and movies and you see this Independent character everywhere. In fact they are the modern standard. In older films, particularly the 1930's and 40's you also see this character, but in these older movies they normally cease to be Independent by the end of the movie. Not today.
Today Independence is portrayed as heroic, the lone hero holding out against the human cruelty of the world. I even see people passing along to each other samples of this idea. That women shouldn't need men, that men don't need women, that man and woman are the natural enemy of the other. That love, trust and hope in the opposite sex is only for fools.
But it is exactly the opposite that is true, to have any measure of success in life you need to love and to be loved. It is healthy and natural to want and to need another person in your life. To love them, to trust them and to share a dream together. To put it bluntly you need to become dependent!
Dependence is what is missing from our world. It means being connected to someone deeply, it means that instead of trying to be everything you have a partner that you can share the burden with. That burden is real and at times it feels like it will crush everything from you, your hopes, your abilities, your very life. In this life we need others.
Loneliness is not a reward, carrying the burden of life alone is not a reward. Do not let them win, do not follow their bad advice, they are not on your side, they do not have your best interests at heart. They want you alone, they want you sad and dependent not on someone that you love but on them. Fight them for your sake and for ours, fight them because of your ancestors and fight them for your future progeny. Because if you don't the future cannot exist.
If you ever find yourself Independent then you have failed., take it from one who is.

The month started off great and then I got sick and hasn't ended well. Story of my blog really. But it's always strange, why do people come in huge numbers even when I'm not posting and then fade away when I do start posting? I have no idea, maybe it only seems that way.

Whats Your Intersectionality Score?
Are you telling me you don't know your Intersectionality score?
What are you sane!
So what is intersectionality?
"the theory that the overlap of various social identities, such as race, gender, and sexuality, contibutes to the systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by an individual"
In other words Leftest crap.
I scored 9 and I am more privileged than 86% of you suckers!
I played around with it and the best score I could come up with was 97, in which case 89% of people were more privileged. Although to get there I had to become a trans-women of colour who was disabled and a devout Muslim!
If I kept everything the same but changed my religion from Muslim to Jewish I got a score of 92, but still 88% of people were more privileged.
I know what your thinking, what about if my disabled trans-women of colour was a devout Christian, 85 with 86% of people being more privileged.
If you would like to find out your own interesctionality score go here, https://intersectionalityscore.com/ , great entertainment for 10 minutes or so.

The Immigration Pos Never Ends
This week SBS, the Special Broadcasting Service put out an article on Immigration which says that 82% of Australians support Immigration!
Now thats a big number and it doesn't quite ring true of my experience as an Australian who lives in Australia. So lets have a look at this: 82 per cent of Australians support immigration despite population concerns
"A report by the Scanlon Foundation found more than four in five Australians see benefits to immigration, but concerns remain around overcrowding and house prices."
"The survey, which canvassed the views of 1,500 randomly chosen Australians, also found 52 per cent of Australians consider the current intake of migrants either 'about right' or 'too low'
"But 43 per cent took the view that the view that the migrant intake was 'too high', up from 37 per cent last year. The finding is the highest since 2010 when it peaked at 47 per cent"
82% in the headline, but 52% further on think it's about right or too low....how exactly do you reconcile these two numbers?
How do you reconcile that 43% think that immigration is too high with 82% support for immigration?
In the article there is also a survey that is current,
28 %
21 %
51 %
Even an SBS poll shows 51% think immigration is too high....SBS who's charter it is to support Multiculturalism!
As I went through the article I thought, I recognise the author of this report, I've seen him supporting this type of thing before. The article calls him a researcher from Monash University, which is a bit of a let down in reality he is Professor Andrew Markus, Head of the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilization.
"Professor Markus has served on a number of panels, delivered numerous public presenations and keynote addresses. These included...."
The Research Institute on Social Cohesion
The Inclusive Brisbane Board
Parliament of Australia Senate Select Committee on Strengthening Multiculturalism
Settlement Service International
Cultural Shift from Settlement to Belonging
Deakin University’s inaugural conference ‘Cultural Diversity and News in Australia’
Australian Human Rights Commission’s ‘National Forum on Racial Tolerance and Community Harmony 2017’
Executive Council of Australian Jewry’s annual conference
Victoria University’s Colloquium ‘Far-Right Narratives, Movements and Networks’.
Amongst others.
Lets be honest the man is a stereotype and no one forced him to be so, instead he chose to be one.
But there is another thing here, at the start of the article it mentions a group called the Scanlon Foundation, who are they?
Turns out the Scanlon Foundation was founded in 2009 by Peter Scanlon who is worth about $600,000,000 Australian dollars and he just loves immigration. The website is quite clear on what it's about. "The Scanlon Foundation aspires to see Australia advance as a welcoming, prosperous and cohesive nation particularly related to the transition of migrants into Australian Society."
This article, Scanlon backs population growth is from 2009.
"It also happens that Mr. Scanlon has extensive property development interests, which clearly benefit from immigration-fuelled high population growth.
Turns out Peter Scanlon is also a stereotype, a Right Liberal who just cannot see any downside to immigration and big money. One of those business types who think that every silver cloud has a silver lining. A good old fashioned Liberal who believes that borders stop people from making money and that no damn barrier should exist between the movement of money and people. We don't have a country anymore we have something better, a economy!
The Right Liberal stereotype finances a study that proves we just love the same thing that he loves. The Jewish Academic stereotype write's it all up and presents it for public consumption and the public broadcaster who takes our money but which has never been on our side presents it all as fact.
When it comes to Immigration the pos never ends.

Who Would You Vote For?
Today I voted, a day early, in the Victorian state election. I've complained before about how far left my electorate is, so I have brought home my how to vote cards that are given out before you enter the polling booth. And I'm going to ask you, how would you vote?
1. Liberal
2. Independent
3. Labor
4. Victorian Socialists
5. Greens
6. Animal Justice Party
7. Reason
Thats the order that they are presented on the ballot paper. Maybe you'd like some background, so here it is.
The Liberals - Pretend Conservatives, love business and destroying Melbourne's heritage, however in my electorate they have no change of winning.
Independent - A former local mayor, sometimes Labor member but not at the moment it seems as Labor have put him second last. A very mixed bag.
Labor - Current member and the current Government. Bad on crime, just terrible.
Victorian Socialists - Socialists, in a way an inspiration as it shows what can be done. They are the real deal, full on Socialists.
Greens - Watermelons, green on the outside, but red on the inside. They talk a good game, they even have individual policies that I support, but thats just the icing the rest of the cake is horrible.
Animal Justice Party - Again it's not that they are wrong, some of their ideas are good. However when a political party represents animals instead of people you really have to worry.
Reason - Secular Liberalism, they use weasel words, like drug reform instead of drug legalisation.
That is the lower house, in the upper house there were 52 candidates....I won't force you to go through that!
So in all honesty who would you vote for?

Is It Our Time?
I had a thought the other day, I was thinking about how our Civilization loves the new. In fact in a conflict between good and new, the new is preferred. Only rarely does good win, but a win is a win. However, the new is always a threat.
Then I thought about how Liberalism has used this love of the new for centuries to their advantage. It always portrayed itself as representing the new over the old. And for most of that time there was an element of truth, often an overwhelming element. Liberalism did represent change. They have changed so much. It can be overwhelming, depressing, maddening. The worst thing is that that will not stop, they are relentless in their hatred of everything they don't like.
So where does that leave us?
It leaves us with the task of repairing the damage that they have done. We are all time travellers moving into the future at one second per second. The trip is one way and we cannot go back. We can not go back to an ideal time no matter when, even if such a time existed. We can move forward though. We can both build and rebuild. Which means change, the things that threaten our Civilization, the new defeating the good, works in our favour.
It is hard to get a small percentage of the population to read, but there reaches a point where it gets easier. Then near the end when nearly everyone can read it gets very hard again. That is the point that Liberalism is reaching, it feels it is close to it's endpoint. But from this point onward's the struggle gets harder, much harder. Now that cycle favours us, it's not inevitable but it is a trend, like a tide. Even restoring things to how they once were will feel like something new to most people. In fact to most people it really will be new.
While the things that they are pushing will seem like the old way of doing things. The future can be ours if we push!

I thought after the Melbourne Traditionalist Conference that I would get less busy and I would be writing more! Unfortunately that hasn't been true at all, so the gaps between posts has remained. All I can say is I'm sorry and I'll try and do better.
The great thing that happened this last month was of course the Melbourne Traditionalists Conference. While nothing has been confirmed all of the feedback has been positive and I am leaning towards the yes side of things. Stay tuned.
This month I have had 3,980 visitors, the best day was the 21st October when I had 291 visitors, and the worst day was the 2nd November when I had 72.
October-November
September-October
The United States, Australia and Singapore are all up, Singapore by a long way!
Indonesia is basically the same.
Ukraine, Philippines, United Kingdom and Germany are down.
France and Turkey are back in the top 10.
Poland and Unknown Region have left the top 10.
