2019-06-20: Criticizing Cultures and Religions
Primitive City
British celebrities have gotten into trouble recently for criticizing other cultures and religions, as well as mass immigration. We will consider how criticism of culture and religion is valid intellectual discourse, and is not racist. Furthermore, we examine the distinction between “diversity” and “multiculturalism” (a distinction which is often not made), and consider whether the issue with immigrants is really a problem of “mass immigration” or a failure to assimilate.

Primitive City
As the the United Kingdom prepares to liberate itself from the European Union, bureaucrats issue warnings of the difficulties that people will face. Barriers trade and travel are a likely outcome, but membership in the E.U. is not the solution. Free trade and travel can be facilitated by removing barriers. The European Union is unnecessary, and is a dangerous concept, as it establishes a centralized continental government for the majority of Europe, despite claims that it is merely a "free-trade" zone.
info_outlineThe states of Georgia and Alabama have enacted legislation to restrict abortion, in spite of abortion being legal in the United States at the federal level. We talk about how a sensible view on the issue takes the development level of the fetus into account, how the left fails to understand the anti-abortion position, and why abortion should be legislated at the state level. Also, Georgia has a large film and television industry and has been met with a cacophony of virtue-signalling from members of the entertainment industry, mostly consisting of simple ad-hominem statements and calls for a boycott.
