Saving the Conservative Party 16jan23

Saving the Conservative Party?
V1.0 16jan23 http://poelposition.blogspot.com/2023/01/saving-conservative-party-16jan23.html

After 13 years of "premiership" ( if not quite proper full control government) is this the pinnacle of Conservative government achievement...?

Although this is primarily the view from the UK, it applies pretty much anywhere in the world were a subversive Marxist strategy is working with cleverly but insidiously manipulated social media to drive traditional generational dissent, and define the dividing line between easily manipulated woke kids, and a dismayed (presumed reactionary) older population that finds itself marginalised and ostracized for holding the commonsense views that once bound the fabric of a stable society. An older generation that is being abandoned by the numbers people to what they calculate is a fate of diminishing economic value and inevitable extinction.

I have now spent the entire lifespan of social media evolution observing, studying and thinking deeply about the apparently inevitable extermination of the Conservative Party - and I have a simple and direct suggestion that will make a fundamental difference. It may also be the only possible strategy that will work in the very complex circumstances of 2023. 

Do the opinion polls also mean the extermination of moderate conservative values? Apparently not, since many of those are what has now taken Keir Starmer and a dysfunctional Labour Party from the brink of oblivion to a massive lead in the opinion polls!

It's something the Conservative Party can make happen with the cooperation and assistance of Conservative Party supporters who want to have a conservative cause to back after the next election, now that the "Boris out" conspiracy has made Starmer's Labour not just electable, but an apparently attractive alternative!

I see that the CDO (Peter Cruddas' Conservative Democratic Organisation) and all forms of traditional resistance to this grisly prospect are described as "a right wing insurgency". And that is the big issue: manipulated perceptions.

My simple idea is to accept that the rules have changed and that there needs to be a "content" creation and production project to develop "conservative content" to get the attention of 8-30 year olds based on the current experience and reality. Carefully tailored and delivered propaganda is the nature of the game that has comprehensively outflanked the Conservative establishment since before Brexit.

In order to slow the rot and begin to restore a position with future foundations, the "silenced majority" must learn the lessons, accept that the current mainstream media is a lost cause as far as any "moderate working class traditional conservative" is concerned, and support its "own" media infrastructure that can commission and develop content that will inform and influence the under 30s in the same way that the (current) BBC, C4, Disney (and the rest of the media that is controlled by the millennial marketing industry) are now the key influential beacons of the unquestioning woke culture. 

The Jesuits (and other major religions) have always understood that influencing the upbringing of 7 to 12 year olds is fundamentally formative for their adult behaviour, especially in a situation where parents are not closely engaged in their upbringing as has happened throughout the west since ww2.

This means determination and engaging the right people - and a modest budget to establish and develop a vetted and trusted core creative and production team.

And learn from success of the dominant "streamers" - a big audience can be attracted to a streaming service with just one hot content property. Amazon Prime video took off by capturing the Top Gear Team. Netflix may have a catalogue of hundreds, but 90% of the viewing is from the popular 5%.

Netflix success includes a lot of controversial "tabloid" cinema, and Disney has been its predictably and magnificently formulaic self… accumulating knowledge of what works and what doesn't that stretches from the original Anaheim Disneyland all the way to the latest Marvel cinematic CGI extravaganzas.

The bad news is that this is probably only half the problem, and that we need to take into account the effects of games that consume so much of kids' attention. The Chinese make no bones about their concerns…

China has put in place a new policy that limits online video game playing for young people to three hours a week.
The new rules restrict online gaming for those under age 18 to one hour in the evening on Fridays, weekends and public holidays.

Well, good luck to the politicians who will have to deliver this! But is there any realistic alternative that can avoid the extinction of the broadly tolerant western "liberal conservative" society that has prevailed since WW2?

No wonder the swamp is angling for CBDCs (look them up) to guarantee compliance as society continues to come apart at the seams…
