Mark Weber argues in the Unz Review why conservatism is finished. He says identity politics is the real deal and conservatives have nothing to counter it - because they're not even in the same league. He says on most social issues conservatives have now become liberal, which seems to be true. Even many people on the British far-right now defend gay and women's rights against 'intolerant Islam'.On YouTube, The Britisher gives a good account about why the British Conservative Party has embraced liberal values; but he argues that some conservatism is still required to stop identity politics from running amok.I think all societies will adopt more liberal values in time, because it makes sense- it's about being decent to and fair to people.

David Bowie was awesome and pushed the boundaries! But the world is always more complicated than it seems at first glance. David Bowie was painfully shy as a young man and couldn't go onstage without dressing up. He felt boring, and wasn't keen on his voice, and so hiding behind a persona really helped him.
As an adolescent, I was painfully shy, withdrawn. I didn't really have the nerve to sing my songs on stage, and nobody else was doing them. I decided to do them in disguise so that I didn't have to actually go through the humiliation of going on stage and being myself. David Bowie
