The Death of Queen Elizabeth Made Some Americans Traitors

And I partially blame Jordan Peterson for this. I've come across a number of Americans who, when met with the their own personal sadness that the queen has passed away, vouching for a Parliamentary Democracy. 

What the fuck did I just read? 

A number of days ago Peterson reflected on the queen's death where he passive aggressively said that the separation of celebrity and politician was a good think in the UK. Okay, sure. He poopood countries like the US which didn't not have a monarchy because he believed the position of the president absorbs that celebrity status which then translates into a less effective leader. Maybe, but for the most part he's speaking as an outside looking in on American politics. He points to Trump but he never pointed to Obama as an example. He never states the pressure that's put on the president within that four year term as a politician - and not some pseudo-celebrity. 

Now we have a bunch of Americans simping for a monarchy while fueling the smugness of Brits picking their noses at the Americans because "we have history and you don't and we have an effective government and you don't" bullshit. 

For the most part I enjoy Peterson, but I think this time he overstepped and needs to be called out on it. 

Actors and Nudity.

If actors are fine with stripping for a role in various scenes in various character situations (i.e. sex scenes, random shower scene, dressing/undressing), would they be fine not wearing clothes for the purpose to promote their film or tv series during their project's premiere on the red carpet? Or maybe wear completely see through blouses and pants and underwear when it comes to press junket rounds? I'm just sayin'. If they give it all for the "art" then arguably they'd do it as well to promote it. After all, they aren't ashamed of their bodies - being nude and all - and as long as the environment is professional.

Reddit's r/conservative is just a group of "I was born yesterday", socially libertarian at best and current issues (that bore people, like taxes).

It's September 11 today. The day when Al-Qaeda committed murder on American soil in NYC and DC.

On the subreddit that is r/conservative, when Queen Elizabeth died a thread with 700+ comments paid their condolences and even paid homage to the monarchy as they adulated the old British Empire.

Today, the amount of comments remembering 9/11 didn't even reach 100 as I write this. 

Remember This: Many on The Left Were The Ones Disparaging The Death of Late Queen Elizabeth

As opposed to many on the right who gave their respects to the Royal Family even if they did not care for the monarchy. (After all, we're bloody Americans! We bow before no human royalty.)

Former President Trump also wrote (or his publicist) a fine farewell to the Queen Elizabeth. And The Left thought they had some decency? Yea right. 

The tv and film industry waits on minors (notable 17 yr old women) to do nudity once they turn 18.

Even those who succumb to their lusts have some sorta of capacity to question what they're doing, or at least are cognizant enough to have some sort of border.

Taken from a Reddit sub focusing on nudity within mainstream tv and film ("WatchItForthePlot"). This one thread was for an actress who didn't do outright nudity, but her scene was "sexy" (according to one adult site) given it required her to be in see-through lingerie. 

One poster recognized she was fairly young, but not quite 20 (he probably recognized her since she appeared in a tv series that's widely popular and acclaimed), so he had some reservations.

When the official press release announced that she, and others, joined the project it was November of 2017. Her birthday is in October - she just turned 18. Filming was done later that year and concluded in August of 2018. 

Everything is in the waiting. The agent knows this but they don't care - they need their clients to sign the dotted line to as many big name projects as possible and the bigger (whether tent-pole or prestige) the better. The actress knows that they're waiting for her to turn 18 so she can officially sign on as an "legal adult" in order to do any degree of nudity. She's not entirely innocent in the process; she knows exactly what she's doing. And that's the truly sad part.

Sounds awfully similar to pornography signing up young, eager newly minted 18 yr old girls, fresh from their birthday party, to showcase their goods and do sex acts in front of the camera. But, hey tv and film are "different." Yea right.

The "2 yrs ago" label dictates these posts were made in 2020. And as you can see, the comment questioning the age when this was filmed was removed by the moderator. 

About tv series in which this scene took place:

The actress' character is later brutally murdered (shot in the head without any remorse simply because she was collateral, and then later twice once on the ground) in broad daylight when her older boyfriend when they were attacked by a group of criminals (associated with the boyfriend). Her character was 18 as well. I suppose , if the actress even remotely reflected on her character afterwards, is that questionable, if not bad decisions tend to lead to bad consequences. We later learn that her on-screen boyfriend started to date when her character was 16; the boyfriend was arguable in his mid-20s at the time. 

But here's the kicker: Her father ran a skeptical business as he preyed on minors himself. So yea, I suppose we can say she was born into dirt and preyed on my dirt. She's an innocent victim surrounded by outright bad role models. It's a dreary reality no matter how we analyze her situation. 

I equate her character's situation with the siblings of Mathilda in Leon: The Professional who were brutally shot down when corrupt, rogue cops raided their apartment as they went after their drug dealing father. Good company tends to attract good company. Bad company tend to attract bad company. In the latter, innocence - both literally and figuratively - is usually lost in a tragic manner. 

Americans v The World (Mostly Western Europe ... And Canada)

Embrace the 2A. It scares the sophisticated Europeans.

Embrace the automobile. It angers the confuses the Europeans since they have little concept of individual freedom itself.

Embrace your lack of fashion. It makes the Europeans crinkle their noses.

Embrace your work ethic and 40 hr week. It makes the European look lazy and weak as they conveniently forget about Japan's average work schedule.

Embrace meat, dairy and even sugar. It makes European food look bland and redundant (because objectively it is). 

Embrace the open road. It makes Europe look like a cluster fuck of countries all crammed together (because it sorta is). 

Embrace the American flag. It makes Europeans uncomfortable and it exposes their lack of flexible when dealing with a different culture.

Embrace American football, baseball, basketball and hockey. It makes Europeans confused because it seems they're unable to enjoy other team sports outside of soccer, rugby and cricket.

Embrace soccer. It makes the Europeans scared and worried that if America does get really good that it will be another American conquest. (Hey, in the end we got better fish to fry - like going to Mars.)

Embrace your prudish stance towards nudity. It makes the European angry and confused. I mean, no, I don't want to see your vagina or tits, Ms. Swede. I have no right to even if you insist. 

But most of all embrace the traditional nuclear family, religion and social conservatism. It makes the European believe you're backwards as they drink pints of nihilistic dreams and, ironically, support collectivist shallow social norms.

On nudity and sex scenes in tv and film: It's doesn't matter whether or not nudity in your country is NOT a big deal.

It doesn't mean you're anymore enlightened, right or mature about the subject of nudity in general.

I've been coming across a number of comments, mostly written by non-Americans (German, Britons) who puff up their chest when it comes to the topic of nudity in tv and film, saying something to the likes of "well in my country nudity isn't seen as a big deal" as if they passively imply that America should get on the same page they are on the topic. What they miss is the cultural differences, also implying their culture is somewhat better than the mentality of a more conservative approach to sex and sexuality in entertainment. They resort to the same tired old jab that Americans are being puritanical or puritan because of their objections to nudity on screen as if they shot the werewolf with a silver bullet.

I always counter this poor argument that other nations besides the US don't have the same mentality as the desensitized, unenlightened brains that pervade Europe. I add onto this that though nudity on screen is more accepted, that they themselves as Germans, or Brits, or Italians or Swedes don't go walking down their street topless. They most likely need to show up to work fully dressed. When they enter shops they most likely need to show up with some form of footwear and be fully clothed. 

Germans will say that they have hundreds of clothing optional beaches, some where nudity is mandatory (policy implemented by FKK nudism organization), but still that doesn't add to their argument like they think they do. Unlike nudity in tv and film, where the nudity is almost unnecessary if not voyeuristic, nude beaches actual have more prudence to the standards on how to conduct yourself amongst fellow nude beach goers. Supposedly, you aren't allowed to bring cameras. Despite the reality if naked people around you, it's not apparently titillating given you're too focused on minding your own business and enjoying the breeze and sunlight on your body (it does feel good and refreshing) - after all, it is said Europeans don't like people invading their personal space in terms of chatter - so people most likely aren't going to strike up a conversation asking you on a date. 

The "we got nude beaches" is mostly a surface deep argument since it's rather different than nudity seen in tv and film. But nude is nude, right? No. There's nudity in your bedroom. There's nudity in a physician's room for your health. There's nudity for art in terms of figure drawing or sculpturing. There's nudity in terms of relaxation at the beach. Then there's nudity for the sake of nudity in terms of putting camera in from of you. Is it porn? What's the point? Would mom and dad be proud? Do you have any standards? 

I quickly googled one participant who showed up on the UK's version of Naked Attraction (a dating show where the potential date undresses, and the male or woman chooses who advances). Why did I chose her? C'mon - when I was discussing this topic with other non-Americans I googled the show and, of course, the internet knows when they see a good body when it appears to them. Apparently, after the her appearance on the show, she got more tattoos, got bigger implants and opened an OnlyFans account. How liberating and "whatever what's the big deal" Europe! You showed us prudes how it's down. Totally representative of the general population. One reviewer wrote -

Even in more socially lax countries, when their country adopted the concept of the show, was met with skepticism and surprise - and reviews aren't glowing. One British reviewer said that though Naked Attractions originated in the UK, the show's concept itself is a rarity. So when Europeans say we X or Y show that showcases full body nudity like Naked Attractions they're not taking in account that X or Y are not the norm in terms of raw numbers. Wow, one show. Whoopdeedoo. How many people actually viewed it? Just enough to get it renewed. Even those living in the UK but aren't native to the sovereign states are okay with its existence showed concern on how easily it is to be accessed (apparently UK allowed it be broadcasted on four different channels). As one transplant Brit writes -

The person goes on -

The concept is bold, I agree, but the substance of it and the end product don't live up to the boldness of it. So what's the point of it all?
