Everything is downstream from culture

Gavin McInnes argues that the West must fight to save its values if it wants to survive the future.

Gavin McInnes is the co-founder of VICE magazine and Proud Boys and is one of the best trolls around.

He is also colloquially known as the ‘godfather of hipsters’.

Background

The media likes to label him a ‘far-right provocateur’ and ‘Western chauvinist’, whatever that means. I've said before that the left-right dichotomy is mostly irrelevant. People use these terms, dating back to the French Revolution, without defining them, and they certainly don't mean what they did centuries ago.

After all, what exactly is meant by 'far right'?

Gavin calls himself a 'champion of Western values’ and the New York Times says he ‘reserves a burning fire for the political correctness of people on the left whom he describes as busybodies who have lost their sense of humour.’ 

Sounds about right.

He enjoys trashing woke folk and other postmodern nonsense.
