Replacing History With Wildlife: The Suicidal Insanity of Anti-Western Ideology
“Programs have flagged scary reading materials like “The Canterbury Tales,” “1984,” and “The Lord of the Rings” as potential leads to “far-right terrorism.”
Thanks to the Trump administration and various efforts by courageous individuals, the intersectional insanity that has been eroding our society’s cultural confidence has visibly subsided over the past year or so. This madness exploded with abandon during the past couple of decades through CRT, DEI, climate hysteria, antisemitism, transgender mutilation, and other suicidal cultural tendencies, whose only common denominator was virulent hatred of Western civilization.
Other Western countries are still in the throes of an aggressive intersectional assault on their cultural heritage. Enter the Bank of England, according to whose recent statement, iconic figures such as Jane Austen, Winston Churchill, or William Turner will no longer be featured on UK banknotes lest they seem not diverse or inclusive enough. UK bills would instead feature images of UK wildlife, deemed inoffensive to woke sensitivities.
The Bank of England’s News Release states:
For more than 50 years, the Bank has proudly showcased many inspirational historical figures who have helped shape national thought, innovation, leadership and values on its banknotes. The change to wildlife imagery, supported by the public consultation and feedback, provides an opportunity to celebrate another important aspect of the UK.
Among the criteria for selecting the banknotes’ theme is the effort to avoid “divisive” imagery: “The theme should not involve imagery that would reasonably be offensive to, or exclude, any groups.” Another criterion is “consisten[cy] with our legal obligations,” namely “considering the impact on individuals who share the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010.”
The Release states that “the current series of banknotes features portraits of Winston Churchill (£5), Jane Austen (£10), JMW Turner (£20), and Alan Turing (£50)” and quotes environmental activist Nadeem Perera: “The wildlife of the UK is not separate from our culture. It sits in our football crests, our folklore, our coastlines and our childhoods. Giving it space on something as symbolic as our currency feels both overdue and significant.”
In a recent Daily Signal article, Jarrett Stepman denounces the proposed change of UK currency imagery and adduces other examples of intersectional insanity:
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which manages William Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, for instance, announced in 2025 that it will “decolonize” future celebrations of its namesake because it says his works could be used to promote “white supremacy.”…
It’s not just historical memory that’s being purged. This is part of a much larger political project. The U.K. government’s anti-terrorism programs have flagged scary reading materials like “The Canterbury Tales,” “1984,” and “The Lord of the Rings” as potential leads to “far-right terrorism.”
One may sigh with relief that in our country, the woke mental virus seems dormant at the moment. We must remain vigilant, however, and continue to expose and fight this destructive ideology and its practical manifestations until it can be safely relegated to the “ash heap of history.”

It’s not surprising. Britain is, after all, a conquered country. Look how everything British is being deprecated in favor of a Seventh-century death cult.
Capitulation ia all the rage in 2026.
And, their own young people are not being taught of the courageous things Britain has done – defeating the Nazis and Ending Slavery. Instead, they are force fed a litany of their shortcomings.
Osama bin Laden’s tactical stupidity was failing to comprehend that if Islamofascists/Muslim supremacists/Muslim terrorists simply emigrated to western countries and ran for political office as leftist/Labour/Dhimmi-crat candidates, they could advance the cause of Islamic “holy war” far more effectively than terrorists with bombs or guns.
“Immigrated;” not emigrated.
Invaded
Emigrated. Yusuf Jihadi is a Pakistani. He emigrates from Pakistan and immigrates into Britain.
That’s a whole lot of words and ideas you’ve fed us in one sentence, guyjones, but they make sense. Well done! Thank you.
Dammit, UK…are you so inbred that you can’t see a rook?

You jest
Dormant as a festering boil.
Remember that the only reason Andrew Jackson hasn’t been replaced on the $20 bill by a hideous fat likeness of Harriet Tubman is Donald J Trump.
So long as it’s not a dog, eh?
Would that make it a dog pound….
or a Mutthamad Mad Dog?
Yellow bellied sap sucker…. oh,… just take sap sucker off for brevity. At least we know that even the Bank of England can’t print a picture of Mohammed on a bill least they get machine gunned to death like in France.
I like the idea of a Mohammabuck, if Britainistan is to sell out to psychotic invaders, let it swing like a pendulum do. Bobbies on bicycles, pandering to Allahus.
So are we all read to agree to my idea of basic standards for who gets to be a leader in the conservative movement such as you have to support American history and not slander America’s past?
I.E. if you have an a historic usually leftist view of dropping the atomic bombs?
My idea that defending American history should be a requirement for any thought leader on the right wasn’t popular when Tucker started his dark turn, but we all know where it went.
I also can’t understand how anyone could have thought Tucker was going anywhere else without total absolute ignorance of Imperial Japan (Imperial Japan being as distinct from modern, Meiji era, or feudal era Japan as Nazi Germany was to modern, Weimar, Imperial, and pre-unification Germany).
For some context about the dropping of the bombs.
Throw out the Asian civilians who Japan was in the process of slaughtering across the continent so ignore the Rape of Nanking or the Manilla Massacre.
Ignore the American soldiers who would have died in invasion (although like the Asian civilians those dwarf those killed by the bombs).
Ignore those dying of starvation (again would have dwarfed the bombs had the war been continued instead).
Ignore British soldiers dying in the Asian theatre (although aren’t those human beings?).
Ignore the 10 million+ Japanese civilians the militarists in government expected to die and fact that the Battle of Okinawa actually at minimum vindicates those estimates from the Japanese Imperial Army.
Ignore that honorable men like Yamashita were horribly outnumbered by vermin like Admiral Iwabuchi who would have been just as glad to do the same in Japan to prevent civilians from ending up on the American side.
The number of JAPANESE IMPERIAL ARMY personnel expected to die fighting the invasion alone dwarfs the numbers killed by the atomic bomb WITHOUT adding in those other categories.
We saved millions of lives by use of the atomic bomb to end the war, and anyone who is trying to rewrite that history either needs to provide evidence the Japanese Imperial Army estimates of expected civilian and military loses was made purely to help Truman justify his decision to historians decades after his death or we should ignore the rest of his/her arguments.
We also get to see where Tucker went after his turn on American history.
American history has to return as a core principle before the USA looks like the UK.
Outstanding, Danny !
To start, we actually have to teach US history–they don’t really do that right now. I watch this whole edifice collapsing in the 90s getting my history MA and PhD. They gave credentials to people who knew nothing and were flat out stupid, especially on issues of historical fact. Now they run education. Unfortunately, the right let this happened because (as I often heard) “you can’t make money teaching history.” Now look at us.
Conservatives consistently ignore the importance of culture in framing the political environment. After we won the (First?) Cold War, the whole movement walked away from such trivial matters as education and settled down to focus exclusively upon the only ‘important’ things left: making money and cultivating one’s own garden. 35 years later, the supposedly vanquished Marxist left has seized control of the universities, teachers’ unions, school boards, entertainment, legacy news media, most of organized religion, many corporate boardrooms, and the Democratic Party. Younger people particularly evince positive attitudes towards socialism and collectivism. Anti-Americanism is more rife than it was during the Vietnam War. How’s that contemptuous dismissal of education doing now?
One tell that is easy to detect of the shallowness of the analysis of those critiquing Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan is to consider how many Japanese sources they use. For example in Gar Alperovitz’s “The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb and the Architecture of an American Myth”, 1995, there are no references to any Japanese report or analysis. This is, frankly, academic malpractice. There has been for some 30 years a thorough Japanese based analysis of the Japanese government’s eventual decision to surrender, “Japan’s Longest Day: Surrender – The Last 24 Hours Through Japanese Eyes” Compiled by the Pacific War Research Society (Ōya, Sōichi, Kazutoshi Hando, ), 1965. Based on the Japanese account, it took two atomic bombs and one very rare personal directive from the Emperor and the Supreme War Council was still deadlocked. In fact the day after the Nagasaki bombing, the War Minister had a statement broadcast on NHK radio stating (in translation), “We have but one choice: we must fight on until we win the sacred war to preserve our national polity. We must fight on, even if we have to chew grass and eat earth and live in fields – for in our death there is a chance of our county’s survival. The hero Kusunoki pledged to live and die seven times in order to save Japan from disaster. We can do no less.” It took second very rare directive from the Emperor to push the government to the conclusion of accepting the Potsdam terms. And even then there were several Japanese army coup attempts to forestall this decision. Few people realize that the home Japanese army was quite intact ready and raring to defend the home islands. Based on my readings, I am confident that President Truman’s difficult decision saved countless lives.
Civilizations have a finite life. Is this the end of one and the start of another in Western Europe?
“The change to wildlife imagery, supported by the public consultation and feedback, provides an opportunity to celebrate another important aspect of the UK.“
Yep, selling out to communist leftists.
“the current series of banknotes features portraits of … Alan Turing (£50) … Giving [animals] space on something as symbolic as our currency feels both overdue and significant.”
“OK, you gay guys, you’ve had your fifteen minutes of glory on our currency (in Alan’s case, that comes to not even five years), and it’s quite enough. That’s all the recognition you’re allowed. You are, after all, white male colonist oppressors, and it’s time to make way for a new favored class.
“By the way, you’re also gay, and that’s ‘offensive to a particular group.’ So we’re actually letting you off easy this time.
“Ta ta, cheerio, allahu akbar, and don’t post anything that we’d have to beat you for!”
Why read 1984 when you can live the real thing?
Britain, you’ve become a pathetic joke.
Put a goat on the banknote, then. Make the idiocy spectacular.
“Giving space on something as symbolic as our currency feels both overdue and significant.”
Running a modern industrial state on “feels,” not logic and reason, is wildly inappropriate and a sure-fire recipe for disaster.
Well, let’s be evenhanded. Australia decorated the reverse of some of its coinage with their unique indigenous animals (and a few plants, I seem to remember) and their pieces were very well received by all. (The obverse continued to feature the usual royalty.)
Of course, you have to remember that the country is famous for honoring criminals on its banknotes, including a horse thief, a violent agitator, and even a convicted and transported forger who later worked in their treasury.
Now, unfortunately, they have devolved to striking coins with images of Bluey the Cartoon Dog and The Tooth Fairy.
Is there any version of history that doesn’t offend somebody?
I think the Cro Magnons are safe from racial animus.
black matriarchys time has hopefully run

How could portraits of Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, or Alan Turing be construed as offensive?
Churchill was not delicate in his unflattering descriptions of the “Mohammedans,” and was responsible for kicking the asses of the ones who allied themselves with the Reich.
Despite his brilliance, Turing’s main value to that same group would be only as a stringless roof yoyo.
And as for national honors to a female, save for the toddler Aisha, has Islam ever raised a single one of its own?
So they are offensive to Muslims? Yeah, I’ve been paying attention: Starmer and Sultan Charlie appease Muslims instead of defending their realm. It’s disgusting.
They are defending their realm. Their realm is Islam.
I do recall that after Sultan Charlie had seen “Slumdog Millionaire,” he said in a speech that the middle-class people of the First World should live in the sustainable ways that we saw in that movie.
I’d like to address a narrow aspect of the broader theme presented in this post. Part of the Democrat/Socialist/Anarchist effort to fundamentally transform America over the last 30 years has been spreading a narrative that Black people are often targeted for death by white policemen. Many of my white friends believe this, and I’m afraid that a majority of Black Americans do also. What’ the America-haters have failed to produce, however, is any evidence suggesting that their narrative is true. For them, and apparently for many Republican politicians, the narrative that policemen are ready to kill Black Americans is sufficiently supported by the undeniable fact that Black Americans are more likely to be killed by police than white Americans. But that fact is rendered irrelevant by the fact that Blacks commit crimes, including violent crimes, at a much higher rate than white people do. The critical question (and the only question whose answer should be sought if one’s purpose is to find the truth) is whether police are more apt to kill a Black person than a white person when confronting those persons in similar circumstances. To date, I believe there is a single study whose results have been released that was designed to answer that question. It was authored by Roland Fryer and his graduate.assistants. Professor Fryer was a professor of economics at Harvard. He is also a Black man.. (I say “was” a professor at Harvard, because after his study was made public, a number of complaints alleging sexual harassment were filed against him at his university. To put those results simply, Mr. Fryer and his graduate assistants found that their rough data (collected from many years of history in something like ten major American cities) reflected a higher propensity for police to kill white people. They cautioned that those results were not strong enough, statistically, to conclude that police had showed racial bias in any direction.
