As this decade draws to an end some of us have been reflecting upon its events and how UK society has shifted culturally....or at least how the media has.

Indeed, it's been this shift that has accounted for my change from a mainstream Tory normie to someone who now regards himself as somewhere on the dissident right.

It's in reaction to those changes that we are emerging as its opposition.

I can't think of one particular event that decided this. I think it's been a gradual process. I've always valued truth over warm words or more bluntly lies and on that score alone the material and propaganda out there has been easily sufficient to wake me and a growing number of us 'up'.

Do others regard themselves as 'dissident' now? Who is also bothered by the changes this decade but perhaps doesn't?

How do people think this decade is going to go?

Oh very good.

For my part sadly I don't understand the title of this thread so don't feel qualified to comment in any substance.

Perhaps this kind of illustrates just how plugged into the mainstream you are.

I got confused early on reading who was which sex.

I avoid these people. Gay? Fine. Weird? No ta.

Metoo I'm afraid.

I have always been Labour. Since Blair, I found it hard to support them. My personal ideas have come closer to the right in that I don't agree with unfettered immigration or the lack of integration within society. I believe it is a Western problem - not only Northern European. I am increasingly frustrated with people who have no intention of ever working or achieving anything being given housing, health care and education, over and above those who do work. Particularly those who just work to live. I suspect new political parties to emerge that reflect this.
So I'm still Labour in that I believe in rights for the working class. Shame Labour forgot all about that and went very much down the identity politics route.
I also find myself struggling to see how Islam fits into Western Society - particularly hard-line Islam. We have moved on from the crusades and no longer burn witches. I find it difficult to see why we accept such behaviour in our society. In fact we often champion people of different religion as somehow more diverse - when in reality we are looked down upon by them as decadent and indeed haram.
