“If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.” – Confucius
For those of you who don’t know (and that is, thankfully most Americans), the Grammy Awards were last Sunday. They were, perhaps, the most woke and eye rolling display of Hollywood absurdism to date. And, their ratings prove this, having lost well over 50% of their viewership over last year, leaving them with perhaps their lowest ratings in history.
What has led us to this complete cultural and artistic collapse?
In the past few years, hundreds of books have been banned from services like Amazon because Amazon thinks they are too ‘offensive’ while books like Mein Kompf remain. Hundreds of thousands–likely many millions–of independent and conservative voices have been removed or shadow-banned by social media platforms, banks, and globalist corporations. Most recently, we found out that Dr. Seuss also needs to be cancelled. He was not a conservative, despised fascism, was an environmentalist, and wrote innocuous colorful cartoons for kids. But that was not enough to save him from the insatiable woke throngs.
Speaking of cartoons, Disney has begun censoring its own catalogue of cartoons, including classics like Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, the Artistocats, Peter Pan and others.
We were also told to cancel a cartoon skunk because he is offensive to women, fragile leftists say. Classic movies like Gone With The Winds were also ‘cancelled’ as well as bland Christmas songs because they were deemed offensive to women and others on the left as well.
But, while we are told that Western culture, laws, and heritage are all filth, corporations and the media are trying harder than ever to convince us that actual degrading filth is our new culture and heritage.
The Grammy Awards was the latest display of this societal disintegration. The ceremony had numerous open depictions of blatant anti-Americanism, including numerous positive references to Antifa/BLM and riots, with giant set pieces and songs devoted to them during the evening.
Perhaps nothing visually depicts this fall of American culture into a death-spiral more (so far), though, than the performance of a song called WAP.
‘WAP’ (that is short for Wet Ass P*ssy, for all of you uneducated in America’s popular new haute couture) is somehow considered cultural gold. NPR, America’s bastion for dull condescending know-it-all intellectualism, labeled this Song of the Year back in December.
The song is written by a former stripper, Cardi B who openly admits to drugging “n*gg*s” and robbing them:
‘Oh yeah, you want to fuck me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s go to this hotel,’ and I drugged n*****s up and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do.”
But, don’t judge poor Cardi; she was just doing what she had to do. (What would happen if a man drugged and robbed woman and said such things?)
Now, the Grammy Awards have honored Ms. B’s bravery and genius. So good is her song that the Grammy’s devoted an entire performance to it, including a giant bed, giant heels, a giant stripper pole and, of course, two giant strippers. During the performance, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion (another modern musical genius) writhe on a giant bed, performing sexual maneuvers.
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens took aim at the absurd destruction of Western civilization, below:
“The pair upsized the bedroom imagery with sexually suggestive dances on top of a gigantic bed set.
Speaking to Carlson, conservative author and political commentator, Candace Owens said the performance was essentially pornography.
‘Virtually, what we were looking at last night was a lesbian sex scene being simulated on television, and this is considered feminist.
‘This feels more sinister. This is starting to me to seem like it’s not even left or right, it’s not a political issue. This seems like an attack on American values, American traditions, and you’re actually actively trying to make children aspire to things that are grotesque,’ she added, calling it a celebration of ‘perversity’.
‘You have these kids learning about critical race theory, they’re learning that they should aspire to people like Cardi B. You see that fundamentally we are seeing the destruction of American values, American principles.’
Carlson said the performance was: ‘Totally degrading. And the same people who make it will lecture you about ‘you hate women’ or something.’ “
But, it wasn’t just TV pundits who were disgusted by the sexually explicit display. Sexual exploitation watchdogs also too worrisome note:
“Meanwhile, an anti-pornography group, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) said in statement the ‘CBS Grammys broadcast contributed to the sexual exploitation of women by glamorizing prostitution and stripping.’
‘The performance by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion showed the two women and backup performers wearing thongs and lingerie, dancing on a stripper pole, and crawling around and twerking on a bed together.
‘In a performance that could have been cut from a hardcore pornography film, CBS allowed a glamorization of stripping and prostitution to be broadcast in front of a national audience — a portion of which were children — for no other reason than for TV ratings,’ the center’s senior vice president and executive director Dawn Hawkins said.”
What do you think? Is this just business-as-usual envelope pushing by a former stripper with a microphone, or is something broader and more sinister going on here? Is there a broader trend in America? In The West?
Was Confucius right?
