“Cultural Marxism”, better called neo-Marxism, refers to a left wing reinterpretation of Marxism (especially the Frankfurt School) as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness. The theory involves an ongoing and intentional academic and intellectual effort to subvert Western society via an assault on western culture that aims at undermining the Christian values of traditionalist conservatism and seeks to replace them with culturally liberal values.

Busking is the practice of performing in public places, such as on the street, for tips or gratuities or voluntary donations. It comes from the Spanish word Buscar—to seek (fame and fortune) or the Latin word Buscare – to procure, to gain. Busking could take many forms, clowning, dancing, singing, fortune telling, mime, living statue, one-man band, puppeteering, juggling, reciting poetry, even Christmas carolling. One’s ‘pitch’, where one performed, was very important. It had to be a place where there was a lot of traffic, lots of people, high visibility and little background noise.

Cocaine Bear came out last week in Irish cinemas. It’s one of those movies that I would consider entirely review/critic proof. I really think if you hear the title of the film you have a pretty good idea if it’s a movie you will enjoy or not. A bit like Snakes On A Plane in 2006. It blew up the internet a few months ago with an absolutely sensational trailer with the song White Lines by Melle Mel and I’ve been looking forward to it since then.
