White British culture
I’ve been reading ‘Despised’ by Paul Embery. If you don’t know it it’s essentially a British view on the move away of leftist politics from class to identity and everything that comes with it. It brings up uncomfortable conversations around leftism being a middle class hobby as opposed to a working class vehicle for a need for change, multiculturalism, white Britishness and freedom of speech.
I would say I had a relatively middle class home life with a single mother but a working class education. The majority of my family and friends growing up were working class so I’m not completely unaware but it got me thinking and I want to talk to people about it, especially those in Britain.
What IS white British working class culture that Embery is so desperate to defend? I’m not trying to be pedantic, I’m genuinely trying to figure what the cornerstones of it is…
