Kenya’s Film Classification Board (KFCB) has banned a documentary about two gay lovers.

The film, I Am Samuel, is a movie about the romantic relationship between two men who live in Nairobi.

In a statement on Twitter, the board’s head, Christopher Wambua said the documentary “propagates values that are in dissonance with our constitution, culture, values and norms.”

In his review of the film Wambua said: “By deliberately advocating same-sex marriage in Kenya, the film blatantly violates Article 165 of the Penal Code that outlaws homosexuality.”

Wambua also said the film was an affront to the country’s religious values.

“Worse still, the production is demeaning of Christianity as two gay men in the film purport to conduct a religious marriage invoking the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,” he said. …

IOW, Twitter will ban him. He should condemn the cultural imperialism of European colonialism for trying to impose degeneracy on Africa.

Worked on me too. I was a libtard as a kid. Grew up in a liberal society, public schools, ultra liberal university, liberal TV, movies, music and arts.

It was:
*Having a job and paying taxes
*Being married
*Developing my own interests (flying, hunting, ATVs)
*Having children
*Traveling the world to include MANY shit holes.
*Managing people
* Trying to be honest and searching for purpose and truth (which means being consistent, which “ethics” does not achieve)

That over time transformed me into a what Biden calls an “insurectionist.”

Today I’m so far right that I run the risk of ad homenem attacks by liberals with their feelings, even if I profess my true beliefs in the kindest way possible. LOL

We all would do things different if we had the chance to do it over again. Our heads get filled with a lot of idiotic ideas today. Dysfunctional, inconsistent, unnatural, immoral ideas that we only later in life realize were dangerous and destructive.

Sad thing is, today these ideas get peddled off in schools and higher academia as “scientific,” in the arts as “ethical,” government “incentivizes,” these ideas. They are mainstream, but nonetheless dysfunctional and destructive.

You know, a film condemning homosexuality for the filthy, disease-ridden practice it is would be banned in this country.

Now we know why barry left

You asked “WHAT?” and I clarified.

We are no longer allowed to agree on what a common American culture represents; that’s “raciss”. As a non-WASP, I’ll concede the American culture was a WASP morality and ethic coupled with independence and the corresponding self-reliance. It simply doesn’t function with other populations that don’t assimilate or share those views (in a general sense). The idea of allowing non-taxpayers to vote would horrify the Founding Fathers, as would the concept of feeding/clothing/housing those that refused to work.

Tossing those basic ideas would destroy any system similar to that instituted by the Founding Fathers; as in Western Europe, it also led to a VERY negative birthrate among “Americans”.

That culture is practically dead within our own borders, and seems to exist primarily in the minds of desperate people fleeing the Third World to get here. They still believe there is an “American Dream”, and because they are starting at rock-bottom, maybe there is for them.

The US did have its own unique culture developing. This culture was NOT seared into society over a long enough time nor homogeneously to where it stands up against the forces today trying to push it aside. For example, a Serb knows what it means to be a Serb, and a Hasidic Jew knows what it means to be a Hasidic Jew. But what does it mean to be “American” today?

Do we represent freedom and democracy abroad like we used to? Are we really a constitutional republic that goes by some rule of law? Hahaha Are we Christian? Are we Capitalist and about free markets? Who are we?

There is a reason why Norman Rockwell is controversial today: https://www.wbur.org/news/2018/05/17/rockwell-shuffletons-barbershop-on-display

There is a reason why the National Archives publish a warning (Harmful Language precautionary statement) before presenting the US Constitution and Bill of Rights: https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/08/national-archives-issues-harmful-content-warning-on-constitution-all-other-founding-documents/

Culture is conveyed via: national and racial identity, ones community, religion, and family. None of these structures today work. Racial identity is all together bad unless it's a special group (anything non-white). Religion is relegated to some ritual people do on Sundays but what is said there ends as soon as folks step outside the church and if the government orders them to close their doors because of Covid, they follow orders. Family is broken with near 50% divorce rates and the single parent home, LQBTQIA+ marriages that undermine the purpose of marriage and family in the first place. National identity hardly exists, nationalism and patriotism is seen negatively (seen akin to racism) and today you actually have nationally elected leaders prideful of the badge “global citizen.”

So how is culture conveyed? #1 Hollywood, #2 public education, then music, social media and a little bit the news. And what culture do they teach us? That culture is a consumption product, symbols that you purchase and hang around your neck in some tacky display of self identity.

What you have today in America is an “anti-culture.”

Culture is the fine art of discrimination. Culture teaches us values, and these values make us have value judgments. Culture teaches us that something is more desirable than another. Culture teaches us who we are, where we came from, what we have in common, and what we value. Today we teach how we are different and what we don't have in common, how everything is relative (moral right and wrong, beauty, etc), that European culture and it's values need rejected (everything Euro, white, male and Christian is seen critically).

How can you have culture in a heterogeneous society?

If you are German (this is a Western society issue, not just US) and you want to bring in millions of Muslims because of a shrinking population, how do you maintain your own cultural identity in the long run? How does eating pork, drinking beer, nudity, freedom of speech, a secular society and justice system, womens rights and religous freedom share the stage with Sharia law and Islamic traditions and values?

America, driven by corporate greed and political corruption (Congress is essentially for sale to the highest bidder), has been the biggest driving force behind globalization. America today doesn't know who she is, what she believes in, what right and wrong is, or where to head. All we have in common is an insatiable apatite for consumption - and that isn't culture.

I agree the original culture is practically gone; the elites would prefer anyone they can buy with material items who won’t point out constitutional issues or cling to guns. Today we have no culture at all; the ghetto habits of urban America of the late 1960s is now the pervasive “culture”. Little regard for life, no regard for marriage or Christianity, no common decency at all. Never mind “chivalry is dead”; Western Civilization is completely marginalized.
