How “Adolescence” offers us a peek inside the machine
Kit Knightly
I wrote about Adolescence – or rather the (manufactured) hype surrounding it – last week. I thought at the time I’d said all that needed to be said. It is just some Netflix show, after all.
But then the hype keeps going, and the messaging piles up, and you realize it’s actually a really neat case study in The Way Things Work.
As a quick catch-up for the fortunate few yet to have Adolescence forcibly crammed in front of their eyes, the show is about a boy who stabs a girl at school. It’s said to raise “important questions” about misogyny and toxic masculinity and “the knife crime epidemic” and social media and blah blah blah blah blah.
Who cares. I haven’t watched it. It doesn’t matter. Like I said, it’s a case study.
The show was released three weeks ago…then it was everywhere. And I mean everywhere. It was reviewed and praised and praised and reviewed.
And everyone in those everywhere places called it “important” or “vital” or claimed it “asked big questions”.
You all know what those phrases mean.
Suddenly, the creators were on Newsnight on the BBC, Good Morning Britain on ITV, and even CNN.
And what were they talking about?
Politics, obviously. Knife crime and social media and online radicalisation and yet more blah blah blah.
The writer essentially said the same thing all the time, begging the government to “consider quite serious change”.
Before the week was over – as we covered before – an MP was asking if it should be required viewing in schools.
Sky News claimed that “pressure was mounting” for a social media ban. They don’t say from whom, and it doesn’t matter. It’s all a narrative, no more real than the show itself.
Netflix have since said they will provide it for free to schools to show to young boys:
This all culminated in yesterday’s meeting, where the creators of the show – along with representatives from a “healthy relationship” charity Tender – were invited to Number 10 to talk about “the influence of toxic material online” and the “serious change” they think the government needs to take.
Sir Keir Starmer (or the intern running his account) pledged to “tackle” the “challenges raised by adolescence” in a tweet…
The challenges raised by Adolescence aren’t something we can simply legislate for — if I could pull a lever to solve it, I would.
It’s only by listening and learning from the experiences of young people and charities that we can tackle this.
That’s what I’ve been doing today. pic.twitter.com/bU5ocwpa1T

We’re mere inches away from actual legislation based almost entirely on the made-up events of a fictional TV show.
People are rightly pointing this out as ludicrous – and it is – but that’s seeing it backwards. We’re not getting laws passed because of TV shows, we’re getting TV shows made so they can pass laws.
The studio behind Adolescence gets government funding, as does Tender, the charity that was also invited to that absurd meeting.
Netflix’s finances have been a source of speculation for years, but its political associations, alongside a track record of producing content that perfectly fits a mainstream agenda, really speaks for itself.
Government, charities, corporate media. It’s all one organism.
Does that mean the show itself was cynically produced to fill a need and sell an agenda?
Absolutely certainly yes.
But that’s not to say the actors and writers and celebrity spokespeople don’t genuinely believe in the supposed message. Just that, to paraphrase Noam Chomsky, if they didn’t believe it they would never be where they are.
They’re working for a distributor with massive and obvious ties to the Deep State, making a project for a studio that gets government funding, working alongside a charity that also gets government funding all so they can tell the government to take the kind of “drastic action” they’ve been planning to take the whole time.
They might believe they are speaking truth to power. In reality, their sincere-but-shallow ego-driven virtual signaling is being manipulated so they will tell power exactly what it wants to hear.
It’s like wheels thinking they move the car against its will, when anyone watching the machinery from the outside can plainly the whole point of the car is turning the wheels to make itself move.
This kind of compartmentalization is how the machinery works, and it’s why it’s largely pointless to ever attack actors or celebrities as Deep State assets. Most of them probably are, but the vast majority don’t know that they are, and the people either willing or able to make that realization were weeded out a long time before they got famous.
And now comes the win-win-win of it all.
The cast and crew get fame and acclaim. The studio get profit and kudos. The government get their new law.
And that’s that.
The hype around Adolescence is not new or even especially exceptional, but it is so transparent it offers a useful insight. Like an underwater aquarium, one of those glass-sided ant farms or those cadavers that have wax pumped into their veins.
It let’s us see inside a little deeper than usual, and show’s us how the machinery works.

“To give you a feel for what this looks like, consider the Inuit of northern Canada. An old woman was interviewed one time and the interviewer asked, “what’s the worst thing that’s ever befallen your people?” This is a deeply indelicate thing to ask somebody from any kind of traditional culture, and it was clear to him that she didn’t know. So he started suggesting things to her. In fact, what she was trying to do was politely avoid answering the question. He kept prompting her and finally she said, “I think it was television.”
The interviewer couldn’t believe television compared to starvation and forced relocation by the government. He said, through the interpreter, “how can you say that television is the worst thing that ever happened?” And she gestured to her grandson, who was sitting in the next room, plastered to the television, of course, and she said, “ever since this thing came, we can’t talk because I can’t talk TV,” by which she meant English.”

“The devolving of physical relationships and whole societies, up against an accelerating, digitalized, virtual world is not a social dilemma. The leveraging of COVID-19, waged as a weapon against the citizenry, is not a social dilemma. Rather, this is the strategic destruction of the social. A social dismantling. A social deliquesce. A social nightmare.
For the Fourth Industrial Revolution to take hold, our global society must be socially engineered to accept, even prefer an artificial existence over that of a physical one. The saturation of the collective psyche with language and framing such as “tech for good” is strategic, a key method and means of obtaining the social license required for the Fourth Industrial Revolution “great reset”. The “watch dogs” put forward as reassurance to assuage a growing anxiety, thus a growing threat of backlash, serve not society, but the hand that feeds.
Physical is dangerous, digital is safe. Humans are lethal, technology is benign. Masks assist in dehumanising the human body. The conditioning for avoidance of human intimacy. Children learning not to touch. Nature is both separate and zoonotic – stay home, stay safe. Our deteriorating social fabric, already eroded from social media, and technology at large, has been doused with gasoline. It burns in silence behind a veil of willful blindness. Both isolated and detached from the physical presence of one another, and nature herself, we are in freefall. Remains of relationships in piles of invisible ashes.” Cory Morningstar

They’ve already got your guns… now they’re coming for your knives.
Yikes… spoons and forks, you are next!
Give it a year and your find it was subsidise by the government and Just like top gun was.
13 year old boys / girls are NOT incels, they are NOT adolescents, they are pre pubescent children.
That is true. Meanwhile to live through that age and remain in arrested development is a function of the first world and places and cultures mimicking it.
Has James o Brian LBC commented about this.?
I haven’t seen this show, and was hoping for a synopsis of what ‘issues’ are depicted, and in what light to try to advance the agenda of the govt. I would imagine that the whole point is legislation to take away certain civil liberties that the Govt doesn’t want you to have (as if they want you to have any). But do I really have to watch this drivel to get the message, because Kit can’t summarize the issues and proposed solutions, and shallowly disguised machinations that lead the sheep to water?
when do we realize that they make up news to make up legislation that applies only to made up citizens. We are living people and we are not subject to the fiction of legislation.
Sounds like we got ourselves one of them anarchists here.
I haven’t checked this out yet to see if its true – but it wouldn’t surprise me if it is.
“Keir Starmer, is it true what I’m hearing? The founder of ‘Tender’ the charity working with Netflix to provide ‘education materials’ for the ‘documentary’ Adolescence, that you are pushing into schools, is your ex-girlfriend and KC at Matrix Chambers?”
Someone may already have linked to this but here goes:
https://x.com/FFS_WhatNow/status/1907173252868305055
Here’s what resident shock jock O’Brien has to say about Badenoch:
“If you were in any way concerned with public conversation, if you were in any way invested in the national conversation, right, or public discourse, if you were in any way connected to it, invested in it, dependent upon it for your livelihood, like I am and like Nick is, and Shelagh, the idea that you would have swerved this programme, is unthinkable…. ”
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that O’Brien blandly equates the “public conversation”, “national conversation”, and “public discourse” with whatever current designated excrement the media shoves out. More revealing is this bit (which deserves repeating and with emphasis added):
“if you were in any way connected to it, invested in it, dependent upon it for your livelihood, like I am and like Nick is, and Shelagh, the idea that you would have swerved this programme, is unthinkable.… ”
Consider what James has just said. That he and his little team are dependent upon it for their livelihood. Dependent upon what? Dependent upon that “public conversation”, “national conversation”, and “public discourse i.e. dependent upon the aforementioned circus set up by the media.
And note how it is Badenoch who gets to state the obvious fact that Adolesence is fiction. She is a Tory! Once again the truth is assigned to “The Right”. ’cause we’re all groovy Left now!
Anybody recall the film (La matrice, The matrix).
Punto UNO: Milner Group
The introduction of think tanks the likes of Tavistock Chattam House and i can mention many more.Brookings institute Council on Foriegn Relations. Rockfellar foundation ,Lucis Trust .
My Papa was Caraberniere in post war Italy and he always use to say follow the money.
These events are always front runed. Propaganda.
Punto Due:When looking at the so called HIS STORY. Man has always been enslaved.
Punto TRE: This is what the so called people of the so called Talmudic Jews refer to as the Kabbalah. Its a simple trick. You create and control events.
POST SCRIPTUM: Hive mind.

As we all know Girls are “Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice” while boys are made of “Slugs and Snails and Puppy Dogs’ Tails”. This sentiment has been around in one form or another for literally hundreds of years, its embedded in English (and so American) culture and like a lot of folk tales it subtly guides our culture and social thinking.
In reality one of the nastiest forms of life on this planet is a group of teen (and pre-teen) girls. They typically specialize in psychological warfare and its usually directed against unlucky individuals (although an entire set of practices have evolved to protect adults from them — its called “child protection” or similar but if you’ve ever administered it then you’d know its primarily to protect volunteer adults from children, especially girls). Anti-social behavior isn’t unusual among young people, but the entire purpose of parenting is to “get their minds right”, to train young people in how society works and how to interact with others in it.
Violence of any sort needs to be severely discouraged. It used to be confined to BS like pulling hair but I suppose that now everything has a sexual connotation children can’t learn about social interactions in traditional ways (e.g. “pull someone’s hair, get belted around the ear”). I fear as adults we are now overthinking everything, leaving to a climate of suppressed emotions and the occasional outburst of serious violence. Just the raw material for a low budget telenovela!
It’s no secret, of course, that American cities are being taken over by gangs. Here’s a twist relating to your comment. In Virginia Beach, one of the most popular malls had to be shut down because gangs of teenage girls were using it for gang warfare.
Thought is was boring. Weak characters. Weak plot. Weak acting. Comical that a government is considering new laws based on a fictional story that was not any good. Those kids! What are they going to do next?
You must have missed this important line “We´re not getting laws passed because of tv-shows , we´re getting tv-shows made so they can pass laws”.
In America—maybe it’s just me being out of this loop of madness—I haven’t read or heard anything about this Adolescence series.
My sixteen year old tik-tokking daughter hasn’t mentioned it to me—and she constantly tells me about and pleads with me to watch tik tok videos of this ilk.
So reading your pieces about this show on off-guardian is informing this American.
Predictable poppycock though this netflix crapola is….
America is obviously not ready for this part of the agenda… they still have their guns, after all. UK, Australia, NZ and Canada are already further down the path to dystopia; hence we all have this nonsense to contend with. No doubt The US has its own particular predictive programming and propaganda pieces to suit its own unique situation.
Kit, you link to the Netflix distributed “White Helmets” propaganda film. Who can also forget that Netflix were also responsible for distribution of the “Strike Back” franchise which included “Strike Back:Retribution” in 2017 (this date is very significant): a tale of dastardly Russians, the use of Novichok [sic] to assassinate and the involvement of British Intelligence in the plot line? Coincidence? 🤔
Just when you think It couldn’t get more insane:
‘There is proposed legislation in Congress calling for the carving of Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore, alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, making Trump’s birthday a federal holiday, putting Trump’s face on new $250 bills, renaming Washington Dulles International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport and amending the 22nd Amendment to allow Trump to serve a third term.’
More here:
https://scheerpost.com/2025/04/02/chris-hedges-restoring-lies-and-insanity-to-american-history/
I think we have enough evidence to rename Dulles airport to anybody else – Ghengis Khan anyone?
Dallas has/had Love Field as an airport, so just cut to the chase and rename it Hate Field.
Genghis Khan united the World.
There is likewise enough evidence to refrain from referring to Benjamin Netanyahu by an endearing grandfatherly affectation and begin referring to him as ‘Zionist Hitler’.
What has that got to do with Adolescence?
I think it has to do with the Chris Hedges link.
come on, man, Trump’s ego is way too big to allow him to share a mountain with 4 other dudes
maybe they can carve his likeness into Mount Everest instead, after he’s bought Nepal
How about carving his likeness onto the face of the moon?
…assuming of course humankind can ever develop the technology to place a (hu)man on the moon.
OT
Any Aussies here can tell us more about the new Victorian “Ant-vilification” law passed yesterday ?
Is there any push-back ?
5 years prison for hurty words apparently.
Why is this not big news ?
Because as we saw during the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex $cam, Victoria is just a distant outpost of the NEW WORLD (FUCK YOU) ORDER.
It is actually the Old World Order (think the East India Company) foisted on a ‘new world’ (the same world but with new tech trinkets).
The revealing is of the device of the ego delusion that underlies a world set on self image. A fearful imagination – however so masked and normalized – will generate the ‘movie script’ for ‘continuity’ in terms and conditions set by a selective past made in anger (grievance as separation trauma or self-dissociation).
Continuity of an ‘object-model’ is thus of the mind that judges, weights, compares and selects value by rejecting or discarding the ‘unfitting’ as a means to sustain the mind or means of control.
Praise and blame, Credit and debit – aligning as the right and basis for control in narratives of shifting psychic conflict – for guilt sets fear of pain and penalty demanded by a ‘god’ of terror – masked in ‘solutions’ by which to forfend, mitigate or scape a ‘self’ to social ‘order’ by sacrifice set ‘virtue’.
Joy’s continuity is of the timeless – whatever terms and conditions are contracted in under claim of function running gain of fiction.
BTW I appreciate your witness and invitation to look at the ‘projector’ instead of reacting within the frame of the movie. Partly to enable release of insanity or meaninglessness raised in place of Meaning, or wholeness of being as the moment or situation at hand, but also to grow the ability to recognize our own otherwise ‘unconscious’ projections.
That we can see a ‘gang of manipulators’ running ‘dark-mode’ is not apart from the ideas, definitions and beliefs that shape our perception, responses and invested identity. This ‘currency of exchange can – like the ‘money system’ become corrupted by misuse and neglect. Such as to become and inversion of compounding debt conflicts demanding cancellation by sacrifice to masked and protected ‘idols’ of power and protection.
Guilting and gaslighting can be revealed baseless and false to the light of an integrality of being, but when employed as casting director and script writer, fantasies will be acted out on the body as if to resolve a Past that is Not here and cannot Be – but the persisting tempt to scape it.
Coming from The Industry, this how it works: Stephen Graham (already famous) pitches an idea to a studio/producer (he worked with Brad Pitt in Snatch). His idea is how a father/family would react the worst thing – other than losing your child – which could happen to one of his kids – the kid killed someone else’s child. The writer then comes on board and (understandably) suggests they need to show the audience what’s going on in the father’s head. Namely, that he’ll jump on anything which suggests the killer may not have been his son – even though the father has seen grainy night footage suggesting it is. The ‘plot’ still has these elements: An identical looking boy who HID THE KNIFE, who is behaving suspiciously, who gets called ‘killer’ in the playground by the best mate of the dead girl and a B&Q scene when a worker tells the dad ‘we all know he didn’t do it’ and suggests a CrowdFunder.
Along comes a studio exec who cares only about the PR ‘It needs to transcend’ – a favourite line. Andrew Tate gets thrown in (one line) & Incel (one scene).
This is why, for all the great acting (the kid is exceptional) and decent dialogue, the whole thing is a dog’s breakfast in terms of being about anything specific. In the same way as young actors are now being cast based on their Insta/Tik-Tok following, the story is secondary to making money (it wasn’t always this way).
But being a dog’s breakfast has worked for the PR. Reviews commenting on its meaning are divided: It’s about ID; no, it’s knife crime; no, it’s toxic masculinity; no, it’s youth disengaged and estranged from parents who don’t understand the language/symbols of the internet.
This was the evil genius of Adolescents – the cynical PR machine which jumped on what could have been a well-acted common-or-garden drama – and imposed every modern trope scraped from Twitter/Telegram/Tik-Tok. A perfect vehicle then for all manner of government interventions – which also added to the PR.
Ultimately, Adolescents isn’t specifically about any one thing. It has a smattering of all of them – to keep people talking.
And in that regard, it’s still working.
Manipulating the masses for profits and control.
Now where have we seen that before?
Supermarkets.
Internet.
Rather than showing it to boys, shouldn’t they show it to girls – the alleged victims – so they can recognise the approach of stabby boys and evade?
But that might raise the tricky question of what real stabby boys look like.
“Hi ! I’m from the government, and i’m here to help.”
Did MAHA’s bobby junior say that yet ?
An exploitative, broken, dysfunctional society produces exploited, broken, dysfunctional children.
Surprise, surprise.
The modern world is scheduled to run out of steam at the appropriate time(s).
the next big hit could be a reboot of A Clockwork Orange, with the bastardized Russianisms from the argot of that story’s hooligans serving as a timely admonition about the urgent need for legislation to curb Moscow’s sinister cybercorruption of our youth
similar hue and cry about the obligation of the authorities to combat the supposed epidemic of school shootings in the US has led to the implementation of militaristic security regimes, transforming institutions ostensibly intended for education into mini-prisons, and bringing to life a system the chief beneficiaries of which are obviously not the children attending classes
Nick Turse has written authoritatively about the long history of Hollywood’s role, in wartime and peacetime, as a propaganda arm of the American armed forces, dialed uo to 11 especially during the Global War On Terror era
as a salubrious counterweight to this current entertainment sensation, the old Michael Haneke picture Bennys Video might be recommended
I won’t spoil it by spelling out the twist at the end, but let me mention at least that, starting from a premise very closely related to the Adolescence scenario, the filmmakers arrive at a conclusion that completely shatters the complacency of any simplistic conventional moralizing a viewer might have been tempted to read in
Clockwork Orange was unique, groundbreaking and shocking.
In today’s politically correct world it could not be duplicated.
Today’s ‘politically correct’ world is A Clockwork Orange.
Netflix is degrading our politics: Adolescence isnt a documentary.

Hey, while we wait on Tarriff news, here’s one I saw which sums up.
We are currently going through reset, last one 1870.
From Stolen history
Some thoughts occurred while looking at other threads here showing the huge, off-the-scale building projects around 1870. Some kind of reset clearly happened around that time. A group of people (how many?) know that. The buildings were repurposed then, not constructed. They don’t want us to know the truth. It takes many decades and post retirement life expectancy for people to start to get an inkling of this. The internet is speeding this up. Another reset has to happen before a critical mass are aware of it. Most people don’t care and / or don’t want to know. I sometimes wish I didn’t. But here’s the thing that really gets me. So many people (scientists/ politicians/ medical professionals) know they are telling lies but their livelihood depends on this being kept secret. What strange people they must be. Are they doing it to protect us or to protect themselves? Do they admit it to their own family? Is it some kind of ‘in loco parentis’ situation where they think the truth would destroy us ( like not telling a toddler that Santa isn’t real)? How do we unpick the fabric of the ‘reality’ experienced by our friends / our family? Shall we just tiptoe out and hope they haven’t noticed?

Prolapse get a reset, 26 years later…
Prolapse – On the Quarter Days (Official Video)
long version
On The Quarter Days
Bewilderment is our adventure
“The lie by which I live” runs hidden to the mask of a personal and social adaptation of a Mass ‘agreement’ to turn a blind eye to truth by the focus given to partial and selective ‘ways of seeing’ that run self-justifictions against fear of pain of loss.
A false sense of possession and control runs by such tacit or normalized ‘agreement’ as survival strategies.
There is no intrinsic value to our ‘money’, yet its acceptance as a currency of exchange serves private agenda masked as a national entity.
Ideas are also currency of exchange that can become at odds with or even contra to the truly current of Living exchange.
What we think, and say and do can be set at war, and masked in appeal to alien controls – or power running proxy through ‘others’ or an ‘othered-ness’ that “Made me do it”.
Live your truth must mean receiving it of others. While we ‘think’ in code of a separate-self defence mode, we are seeking gain of function in place of honouring true presence.
How not to ‘see’ what’s ‘wrong with others’ as the frame for ‘caring’ that so easily breaks to reveal unresolved conflicts?
The mind that learned to ‘see’ through a lens darkly is not the guide for reintegration within recognition and embrace of truly felt and shared worth.
No one can make another ‘see’ what they are for there own reasons unable or unwilling to accept – as yet. But we can extend the with-ness of our own acceptance as our natural or unself-conscious worth to their freedom to choose – which IS worthy of honour as an integrality of being.

I absolutely agree that this series is promoting an agenda: However, it is not true to say that ordinary families never have psycho sons: In France a few years ago there was the case of a 16-year old boy from a happy middle class family – father a teacher, mother worked at the town hall, two pretty little sisters, lovely house in a little village in the south of France – anyway, this boy took a girl into the heather (the garrigue), tied her to a tree and raped her: She managed to escape, the boy was arrested, but four months later the psychologists decided that he was a reformed character and sent him off to boarding school where he struck again: This time he took a girl from his class into the woods, tied her to a tree, raped her, murdered her then burned the body: It seemed he smoked a lot of cannabis, but I shouldn’t think they’ll be making a Netflix series about that any time soon:
Sorry about the colons instead of full stops; I don’t understand why that is:Jan
Assuming that story is true, then I should have said statistically extremely unlikely.
In the UK, 7 under-16 year old girls were murdered with a knife (or sharp object) in the year ending March 2024, up from 3 the year before.
7 out of 70 million plus people in the whole of the UK. That would be termed in statistics a rounding error, though a tragedy for the families involved.
Even including boys under-16, the total was 17 children for the year ending March 2024. There are 12.7 million under-16s in the UK. So the chance of one of them being murdered by a knife wielding maniac is 12,700,000 divided by 17 equalling a 1 in 747,000 in any one year. Not far off being a one in a million chance event.
https://benkinsella.org.uk/knife-crime-statistics/
Obviously that boy is a psychopath. I’m no professional here, but as many psychopaths are very good at playing normal people, I would imagine that is pretty hard to diagnose, not to mention with a teenager any diagnosis of that pretty much guarantees that kid will never be able to live a normal life so parents may be resistant to diagnosing it. And with that diagnosis one can only imagine the “treatments” recommended for it.
As for the cannabis, I have yet to hear how cannabis, the real stuff and not the synthetic, can induce psychopathy. Now some of the synthetics may be able to do that, and then there are also all of those anti-depressants that can and do induce not only suicidal ideation but homicidal as well, particularly in adolescents. While the media seemingly mentioned the kid’s cannabis use, I’d bet that if that kid was on other “medications” those may have been conveniently omitted, as we see here in the US with many adolescent “mass shooters.”
While situations like this do happen, they are not nearly as common as some of our owners would like us to believe. Those who are about divide and conquer want us terrified and angry at each other, so sensationalizing stories of homicidal teens isn’t something they shy away from, particularly male teens in today’s hyperbolic world of all masculinity as ultimately toxic. Quite obviously this latest Netflix attempt is just one more in a long line of stories supposedly meant to “help people recognize tendencies in others,” while ginning up the fear factor. Really, why else would any media outlet cover stories like that ad nauseum, keeping people focused on murder and violence and fear of the other? Ratings perhaps, but as with most things today there’s usually another agenda behind that.
I believe you will find that the more recent hybrids of cannabis can be extremely potent, inducing a convincing simulacrum of psychosis.
When I was a teenager in the seventies “red leb” or “black” were all that was freely available and did what yhey said on the tin – made you dopey and giggle.
Thirty years on I visited Amsterdam and blew my socks off!
Things have certainly changed.
More shameless (?!) propaganda to (among other things) destroy the family unit. “Think your well bred, well adjusted son is fine? WRONG. He could be a red pilled, knife welding misogynist maniac, right under your roof”. Try harder, scumbags.
“we’re getting TV shows made so they can pass laws.”
Yep. They sell you a cure to a disease they create. If we notice from the very beginning of film, the main stage is occupied by the wealthy, selling their high lifestyle to the audience, the dumb commoners who need some entertainment to relieve the poverty their masters create daily. The entertainment and the messages, like casting commoners as adolescents requiring legal restraints, is social programming for humans the masters consider self-incompetent. The problem is, the masters are neither Parent nor Adult. They are the actual “adolescents”, on a money and authority “wilding” high. The “important questions” about misogyny and toxic masculinity” and murderous violence, are all the property of our adolescent masters who pummel the world with totally unnecessary war and violent empire + manufactured scarcity generated poverty for the bottom 90%, with all manner of inequalities thrown in just for fun.
Whatever this class of people churn out upon us, you can be sure, is but a 10% mirror of what their true behavior has wreaked upon the world. This is self evident for all the clear headed to see. No wonder they are so terrified of us that they make obvious drivel like this, then peak around the curtain to make sure their “magic” is still working.
I haven’t seen the show but I am not a really a fan of police dramas, except the old-school type, and don’t have kids of my own. The narrative of boys and men being helpless and misguided seems toxic and pervasive, though – almost as toxic as the evils the drama is highlighting. There are many weak, lazy and cowardly men around, of course. Yet if you look at any profession that requires – or potentially requires – physical courage, whether it is soldier, fireman, pilot, surgeon, or even a roofer or truck driver, they are dominated by men – and no one can say these days that women aren’t welcome in such roles, albeit with some physical limitations. So my cynical guess is that the media have to drum up the bad apples in the male population so that certain types of women (probably the type who took the first male partner in sight) feel better.
Can Kit really not see the obvious anti-white racism and political agenda infusing ‘Adolescence’? Extraordinary. I suggest he try imagining the same show with the protagonist now black or brown, and then describe it as ‘just another Netflix show’. The obvious impossibility of this ever happening might suggest the horrific reality of what is being done to white Britain,
Your last two words say it all: “white Britain.” Or white America. Or white France. Or white any other Western – i.e., First World – nation. White sells in a white world.
Back in the day, when men and boys were the “good guys,” they were all white. All “bad guys” were darker and always spoke with a foreign accept. Now that men and boys have become the “bad guys” (bad being the thing), they’re all white. And since bad is in, it falls to the darker, foreign speaking to be the “good guys.”
A lot of people would suggest ‘white Britain’ in all its gammon glory has been sustained at the cost of a nasty case of colonialism, and a lot of people would argue ‘what goes around’. And honestly, I can see this point. But that’s a bit flippant.
We mustn’t distract from other legit viewpoints, eg. the deliberate creation of a social underclass, weaponised racism for ‘divide and conquer’ social control purposes etc.
I’ve noticed your output is following along a few articles behind atm, and far be it from me to interfere with your reading schedule (!), and thanks for contributing… but just be aware, conversation is minimal on comment threads a few days old! A2
“Gammon glory”
Blimey, that sounded just like James blarney bullshitter O’Brien who has been banging on about Brexit for the last 8 years, like a two bob brass who has been shortchanged.
The colonialism issue though with validity, didn’t benefit the ‘white working class’ to the same extent as the chattering classes. The same chattering classes that virtue signal about the evils of colonialism. Hypocrites.
Similarly, the results of globalisation, with most manufacturing industries in Britain decimated – coal mining, steel, shipbuilding, potteries, textiles, rail and car manufacturing, – adversely affected the ‘working class’. Added to that, they had to compete for work with those from abroad willing to work for less.
Meanwhile, the chattering classes praise globalisation and open borders, in a virtue signalling way, but don’t mention that cheap labour in the form of nannies, builders, tradespeople and gardeners is the real attraction.
Apparently, the story was originally about a black boy but was changed to a white “adolescent”
One reason I like this place is it’s fairness .
Ignoring the truth is not fair.
Sorry to dissent.
If the actor was black/brown you would complain and now he is white in the U.K you still complain.
Good production, well acted, yet all emotions and fiction and none of it would ever happen if one is taught to think. I think there was some sort of preaching with in it. To old for it to mean anything to me.
Never heard of it until I visited alternative media.
2nd time I have heard of it since your last article.
I
Exactly! And why control social media? To stop us finding out the truth about this world which so many once-brainwashed people are now beginning to see. Shut it down before it’s too late!! (It is too late).
“(or the intern running his account”).
Love it.
Despite the clear element of propaganda concerning this series. It is also well acted, well scripted and a very good watch.
The ‘Adolescence’ op is part of the wider ‘toxic masculinity’ op of which Andrew Tate is currently the poster boy, for example:
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/the-full-fledged-return-of-andrew-tate
Why is he “ubiquitous”, Vanity Fair? Because you, and your like, keep covering him!
As for the control of celebs, maybe low level operatives don’t know what they’re part of – but station chiefs, producers and most writers almost certainly do. They are likely compromised, in some shape or form, as well. The system can’t take the chance that some of their own stumble across something on t’internet and at least partially ‘wake up’. If it did, wouldn’t we see some of this happening – but there’s been very, very few examples….
As far as “Manufacturing consent” goes, it’s not as bad as the equally contrived hoax false flag events, although equally insidious.
On the subject of Manufacturing Consent, the hype surrounding the “two tier” justice thing is a bit of a red flag. I guess we’ll have to see what the “Emergency Legislation” actually says, but it could be a) designed to reel in the judiciary, blurring the separation of powers. b) seed the idea that the gov actually has some anti-woke credentials.
Our world gets uglier by the day:
‘In its 2023 Landmine Monitor report, Human Rights Watch found that the active remnants of landmines killed more than 1,600 people and injured 3,015 in 2022. Of these, 85% were civilians, with children accounting for half of them.’

“the people either willing or able to make that realization were weeded out a long time before they got famous” and is the same in Academia, Doctors, Scientist etc. I realized this during covid pseudopandemic
…it’s why ‘organism’ is so apt a word. Multi-limbed, fully-functioning – releasing antibodies to kill off foreign bodies… We are truly living in a box.
Adolescence? Get them young like Hamas or the CCP: China’s Little War Wolves’ Calls Shock the World
How the UN’s devious ‘Comprehensive Sexuality Education’ (CSE) is coming into India
One little problem: 99% of people in India are non woke and won’t accept this cultural imperialism laying down.
Have you seen a bollywood film..? 😂
Have you lived a few years in India?
The police recorded 1.8 million “violence against persons offences” in the year ending March 2020. Of these:
“violence without injury” accounted for 41% (732,912 offences)
“violence with injury” accounted for 31% (540,502 offences)
“stalking and harassment” accounted for 28% (494,586)
Weapons were used in 21% of violence/w injury incidents
Knives and other stabbing implements accounted for 9% of violent/w injury incidents, hitting implements accounted for 6% and “other” weapons, encompassing a broad range of objects including household items, accounted for 7%. Note: firearms accounted for a negligible 0.2%.
Knife crime is divided by the police into 22,012 (44%) assaults with injury or with intent to cause serious harm and 21,961 (44%) robberies. The remaining 12% is left to the reader’s imagination. Self abuse (suicide), accidental stabbings, non-robbery related torts?
This means that the incident depicted in Adolescence occurs 1200 times per 100,000 acts of violence against all persons. In the case of children, 2.2% or 11,891 were victims of violence with injury overall, 1070 victims of knife crime, and 471 victims of knife assault, accounting for 0.026% of violence with injury incidents, or 26 times per 100,000 acts of violence against persons (2% of all violent stabbings).
Interestingly, one is just as liable to be robbed at the point of a knife as stabbed. So Adolescence could have been about one kid stealing another kid’s lunch money at knife-point or with his mom’s steam iron. Sounds more pausible for a schoolyard violence movie.
So the show is about a knife attacker who is… White, male, and presumably heterosexual.
Of course it is. How tediously predictable and unrealistic.
I mean, it practically happens every day, doesn’t it? 😂
Back in the day, in the US, when racism was still the national pastime, blacks committed few crimes (at least, few that made a statistical wave). Then, as racism began to wane and blacks began gaining greater equality, all of a sudden black crime rose in tandem with this newer freedom. Until today, when in America, ALL crime is black crime – just in time for Trump and his MAGAdytes to take us back a hundred years.
I agree whole heartedly with Mark Twain that there’s lies, damnable lies, and statistics.
There is nothing new under the Sun.
The British Empire was whipping up antagonism against the new perceived enemy prior to WW1.
Control of politics had never been a problem, nor was control of the press. Lord Northcliffe, the most powerful press-baron, was a valuable contributor to the Secret Elite in their drive to vilify Germany and prepare the nation for eventual war.
His ownership of The Times and Daily Mail allowed them to create the impression that Germany was the enemy. In story after story, the message of the German danger to the British Empire, to British products, to British national security, was constantly regurgitated.
Not every newspaper followed suit, but the right-wing press was particularly virulent. A large and influential section of the British press worked to the rabid agenda of poisoning the minds of the nation. It was part of a propaganda drive sustained right up to, and throughout, the First World War.
If The Times was their intellectual base, the popular dailies spread the gospel of anti-German hatred to the working classes. From 1905 to 1914, spy stories and anti-German articles bordered on lunacy in what was an outrageous attempt to generate fear and resentment.

The transparency has always been there but first you have to open the shutters in all senses of the word !
The vilification of Germany using western media is a long-term Zionist project. Is your ‘British secret elite’ free of Jewish control?
Define Jewish control !
A bit rich, coming from Netflix…
.
Violence has been glorified (Or should that be goryfied?) by the entertainment industry for at least a hundred years.
They salivate over it.
Depictions of violence are profitable. Just ask the Hollywood Ghouls who got filthy rich scaring people. Many of them children.
Real violence, the violence of the State, endless wars and even team sports, is either censored or ignored.
We are putty in their blood soaked hands.
Concerning the growing glorification of sex and violence in American cinema, “An Empire of their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood” by Neil Gabler is an essential read
Thanks for that.
Looks interesting (Wiki).
It seems they modified their idea of the Great USian Dream into jingoistic propaganda to serve their agenda.
The evidence is on film.
9 months into this perfidious government (The gestation period, if you will) , and we see the deep state really digging it’s claws in.
The target is this very forum.
Not per se, perhaps, but this place and it’s ilk.
Twitterex et al. are obviously in it’s sights.
But, even with the large number of seats they have, can the Labour party push through the censorship that they crave, and indeed need, to forward their agenda ?
I’d say they can’t.
The deep state in UK and Europe is throwing all it’s toys out if the pram trying to contain dissent on a lot of fronts and it’s getting desperate. Robinson, AFD, Le Pen, Poland, Romania, Wilders etc, etc.
Desperate people make mistakes.
May you live in interesting times, as the old Chinese curse goes.
Dont forget what they did to Alex Jones with the 5 billion gazillion fine and killing his team members and 34 Trump arrests and putting in Nigel Fragile into the celebrity jungle.
Yeah.
I feel a bit like Billy Joel at the moment writing “We didn’t start the fire”
Bound to miss a few !
Thanks, brilliant article! It will be shown in the NZ schools soon too, no doubt.
