<v Speaker 1>his wing.

<v Speaker 2>Dig down in the forest.

4
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Man, it gonna cause a tree fall, letting five thousand

5
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 3>miles away.

6
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 4>Man, nobody's seen nobody.

7
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 5>You see.

<v Speaker 3>You don't need no man's luck.

9
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 2>You call a little story and you got racked for

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 2>like that. I'll win. Man, don't like a dang on

11
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the panel.

12
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Man, Man, you don't don't matter.

13
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 6>Man all right, more goth Welcome back to Jay Burtonshaw.

14
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 7>How you doing man, Hellotle getting jit nice to see again.

15
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm glad to have you. I uh, I think

16
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 6>this is roughly the pattern that has been going on

17
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 6>for two or three years, which is that I assume

18
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 6>that I have talked to you more recently. I check

19
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 6>our DMS and see it has been exactly a year

20
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 6>since we spoke last. So I'm really glad to have

21
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 6>you on. I was recently watching something you put on

22
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 6>on substack, just sort of your your year in review

23
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 6>right for twenty twenty five. And as I said, you know,

24
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 6>before we went live, I'm not able to, you know,

25
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 6>consume as much media on what happens in the UK,

26
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 6>just because it's not where I live. I don't have

27
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 6>the context, but I rely on a few sources you

28
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 6>included to understand what's going on. And you mentioned, you know,

29
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 6>several kind of themes, right, what's going on in your country?

30
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 6>And I guess I'll throw it to you. You know,

31
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 6>we were talking to this before. You know what is

32
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 6>going on? What are kind of the main themes of

33
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 6>twenty twenty five because to be perfectly blunt man from

34
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 6>the outside looking in, it's it's incredibly grim.

35
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think.

36
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 7>I've did like a year room review where I went

37
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 7>through the articles of the air just to sort of

38
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 7>recop of everything that had happened and things that I

39
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 7>wrote about and to sort of see if those any

40
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 7>kind of through lane.

41
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And it was there, really was.

42
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 7>You can see the right at the beginning of the

43
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 7>year when Elon Musk and Rupert Low and Hammer and

44
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 7>tongues on the grooming gangs and things. But to get

45
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 7>a real which sort of you know, annoyse the British

46
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 7>establishment a lot because they take a dirty little secret.

47
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 7>And I did an article that it's our I mean,

48
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 7>I've been seeing for a long time and I've been

49
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 7>comparing our situation to sort of the Soviet Union and

50
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 7>the the the grooming gang issues is kind of like

51
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 7>the reactor five of Chernobyl. It's it's this sort of

52
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 7>massive disaster, catastrophic that that, and you see all the

53
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 7>different layers of what's gone wrong is kind of encapsulated

54
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 7>with that with that one scandal from top to bottom.

55
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 7>You see like as if like the term mats have

56
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 7>just Hollywood out of woodn't been all of it. What's

57
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 7>wrong with Britain is encapsulated that. And then I did

58
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 7>another one which is about the Borrows Wave and the

59
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 7>effects of the Borrows Wave on the country, and I

60
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 7>think a lot of the panic and the trauma was

61
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 7>the way people when people discuss mass immigration in Britain

62
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 7>on the right, you often hear that a quote from

63
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 7>a Tony Blair speechwriter called Andrew Neila who he said

64
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 7>that they and was to rub the right nose and

65
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 7>diversity and what he meant was to change the demographics,

66
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 7>to change so the politics would have to change it

67
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 7>to do it deliberately. And I think what happened with

68
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 7>Boris Johnson and the millions that he led in where

69
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 7>you get this famous graph where the line just screams up,

70
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 7>was it's it's insane. And I think what actually happened

71
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 7>was that the center right Tory Party rubbed the left

72
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 7>knows and diversity. And what I mean is their sort

73
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 7>of view, their values and their principles beforehand had been

74
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 7>in the abstract because there's so many places in Britain

75
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 7>still hadn't been touched by diversity. And after the Borrows

76
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 7>wave that's they have, especially in England. You can go

77
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 7>to some far from places in Scotland or Wales, Northern Ireland,

78
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 7>but basically it's everywhere now and all of a sudden

79
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 7>this year in particular, you began to see more and

80
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 7>more not just the grooming gangs which flared up again

81
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 7>and the issues around that, but sort of random violence

82
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 7>and especially from the illegal immigrants who's been housed in hotels,

83
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 7>and sort of girls and.

84
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Women being raped and actually abused and.

85
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 7>Casual random violence. And I think what this en In particular,

86
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 7>we saw the rise of this meme which it began

87
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 7>on Twitter by Crumbler Grouply or whatever he's called, where

88
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 7>they call it the UK and they mean like why ok, why,

89
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 7>which I can get into that because it is interesting

90
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 7>and so something was clearly happening and there was a

91
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 7>sense that were it's of de territorialization and the aesthetics

92
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.519
<v Speaker 7>of it. That's what that amounts to, really, and all

93
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 7>of a sudden you saw that what the UK reflects

94
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 7>and is a reality of twenty twenty five. Of course

95
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 7>it's been coming for a while, which is squalid and

96
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 7>unpleasant and far far away from the kind of pr

97
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 7>multicultural propaganda that we used to get. This is why

98
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 7>I say it's almost like the left's face got rubed

99
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 7>in diversity, because it's like, well, we're in it now.

100
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's important to say as well, like in

101
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 7>the two thousands before Brexit, most of our immigration was

102
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 7>coming from the European Union, so they were just other

103
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.319
<v Speaker 7>Europeans recent Europeans polls, but also people from France or Holland,

104
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 7>and so they had that kind of cushion. But after

105
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 7>and especially after the Boris with they just came in

106
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 7>from everywhere on Earth like we've never seen before. And

107
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 7>so for the first time those values and principles are

108
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 7>manifested in the real world. And then alongside that, compounding

109
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 7>that kind of feeling of just everything being decredit everything

110
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 7>being a bit shit, is the economic issues, which are

111
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 7>facing and shops closing, boarded up shops, and so you

112
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 7>get this strange thing with this UK aesthetics they call it,

113
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 7>where you'll have late's here a Muslim woman standing in

114
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 7>like a sort of fishing village in well Wheels, talking

115
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 7>about how well she is. All of this kind of thing.

116
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 7>You'll get like a car crashed into a vape shop

117
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.399
<v Speaker 7>with a Turkish barbers next door, and all of this,

118
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.759
<v Speaker 7>and it alls. It all seems weird and alien and

119
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 7>and it's as if like the country has just been

120
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 7>transformed into something else with which it which it largely has,

121
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 7>and the normal people recognize this as well. And this

122
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 7>is what we were talking about just before we went live, where.

123
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>You get this.

124
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 7>On top of all of that, you've got this kind

125
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 7>of suffocating surveillance state and the bureaucracy that goes with it.

126
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's just it just could.

127
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 7>Sort of ticks so many boxes of this state of dystopia.

128
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 7>And one of the things about the sort of the

129
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 7>mode that we're in is there's a denial of it.

130
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 7>You know, in the past, and I've written some things

131
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker 7>about this to the Myra Hindley sort of murders and

132
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 7>things on substack and how that relates today. But if

133
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 7>you go in the past, for example, if you go

134
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 7>into a different era of Britain, British history to take

135
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 7>for example, when Thatcher was closing heavy industry down like

136
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 7>the coal mines in the nineteen eighties, you had protests,

137
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 7>you had unrest. There was at least some kind of

138
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 7>highbrow commentary on that. There was a discussion and people

139
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 7>could sort of philosophize over it and get sort of

140
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 7>fury cell takes in about what was happening to the country.

141
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 7>But because of the nature of they say political correctness

142
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 7>and where we are now, it's almost taboo for that.

143
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 7>So you'll find people writing about it on substock or twila.

144
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 7>But the conversation that we should be having, we can't.

145
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 7>And of course everybody's scared that they're going to get fired.

146
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.320
<v Speaker 7>Or on top of all of that, it's now legendary

147
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 7>the hate speech laws and people going to jail for

148
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 7>tweets and things in Britain, and all of this comes

149
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 7>from a place I think of profound insecurity of the

150
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 7>managerial state itself.

151
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.039
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'm glad you you mentioned the kind of analogy

152
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.559
<v Speaker 6>to the late Soviet Union because there's there's recently been

153
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 6>a case where a man has been jailed for I

154
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 6>don't remem exactly how long, a truly ludicrous amount of time, regardless,

155
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 6>for sending anti immigration tweets. And you dig a layer

156
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 6>down and you find out that these tweets were viewed

157
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 6>by thirty people. You don't have to be criminally online

158
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 6>to realize criminally terminally online to realize that thirty views

159
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 6>on Twitter is basically nothing. That's not even likes, it's

160
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 6>just someone scrolled past it. And he's been sentenced for

161
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 6>these anti immigration sentiments. And we find out, you know,

162
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 6>as the Daily Mail called him right a deranged loaner.

163
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 6>We find out that he was basically turned in by

164
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 6>his brother in law who didn't like it. So we

165
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 6>really have to escalate it to the point of East Germany,

166
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 6>where effectively you're turning people in to avenge your sort

167
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 6>of personal slights based on these laws. And the complete

168
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 6>and total denial around this issue I think is interesting

169
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 6>as well, because it's almost as if they've they've given

170
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 6>up on any sort of attempt at legitimacy. They're simply

171
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 6>going to freeze out the conversation. We're not going to

172
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 6>address it. We're not going to talk about it. It

173
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 6>just vacated that space, and seemingly in addition to vacating it,

174
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 6>they're determined to salt the earth make it illegal to

175
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 6>discuss it at all. And in my mind, that's almost unprecedented, right,

176
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 6>the idea that simply this apparent fact, at these horrific crimes,

177
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 6>this sort of replacement level migration is unassailable. You cannot

178
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 6>talk about it. You mentioned your substack. This is sort

179
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 6>of how I became aware of it, because you'd posted

180
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.960
<v Speaker 6>something there that basically said that your profile on subsack

181
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 6>was blocked within your own nation. You needed to verify

182
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 6>your account, right, send the government a photo of your

183
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 6>face or send a third party. But we all know

184
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 6>what's happening there. Enter into this sort of like biometric

185
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 6>security apparatus in order to read things, and we all understand,

186
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 6>of course, what has done with that information. It is

187
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 6>there to prosecute you, It is there to enforce these

188
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 6>sort of draconian laws.

<v Speaker 6>So I'm curious what do you make of that crisis

202
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 6>of legitimacy, the fact that they're simply not contesting the field.

203
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 6>Even they're just saying it's off limits. There's not even

204
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 6>really a counter argument anymore.

205
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think there's there's a genuine crisis for the

206
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 7>Something strange happened with the layback government.

207
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:29.360
<v Speaker 2>And it does it.

208
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 7>I think it kind of goes to the Borrow's way

209
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.799
<v Speaker 7>as well. But there's a there is a crisis of legitimacy,

210
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 7>and it's not entirely the labor Government's fault. It's it's

211
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 7>the fault of the Conservative Party for what they did.

212
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 7>I mean, so much of the legislation.

213
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's it's.

214
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 7>Popular, it's popular on the British right, it's popular American right,

215
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 7>where they think of Kostarma as being this particularly kind

216
00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 7>of brutal communist and he is like that, he's utterly humorous.

217
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 7>But you know, all the laws on the legislation was

218
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 7>already was already baked into the system. The thing which

219
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.240
<v Speaker 7>I've got to now put my sort of show my

220
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 7>face that's going to come in everywhere. I think that's

221
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 7>the Online Harms Bill, And originally it's all part of

222
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.840
<v Speaker 7>this surveillance state which is getting ruled.

223
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Really quickly now.

224
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I remember back five years ago, four years ago,

225
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 7>I was doing visy video essays on all of this

226
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 7>stuff and it didn't seem to go anywhere. But now

227
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.120
<v Speaker 7>it's actually coming in. We're getting digital ds. I mean,

228
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 7>on the legitimacy thing, Labor got into power on there

229
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 7>was nothing said about digital ds anywhere, and they just

230
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 7>sprang so it wasn't nobody voted for it, it wasn't

231
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 7>in their manifesto, and they've just rammed it through. You

232
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.840
<v Speaker 7>get half a million people or whatever it was, saying

233
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.080
<v Speaker 7>a petition saying we want to have this gone over

234
00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:58.600
<v Speaker 7>our again.

235
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.320
<v Speaker 2>But not just they'll just ram it through.

236
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 7>And this combined with masses and masses of facial recognition technology,

237
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 7>and then on top of that you've got the online harms.

238
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.320
<v Speaker 7>But and all of this is going to link up.

239
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 7>I mean, when I try to describe this, I say,

240
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 7>it's a bit like the end of and Or where

241
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.159
<v Speaker 7>you see them building the death Star and all of

242
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.639
<v Speaker 7>the rivets. It's just mis missing that kind of central

243
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 7>thing that slots into the middle, that dish thing. And

244
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 7>that's what the digital ID will be. Everything is being

245
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 7>made deliberately awkward and troublesome to create the problems that

246
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 7>the digital ID can solve. So in the future I

247
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 7>will probably just link up my digital ID to my

248
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 7>online persona and then I'll bypass that issue on substack.

249
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 7>But it it is like a third party. So the

250
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 7>state will I mean in a way, because the state

251
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.440
<v Speaker 7>kind of a quango called Who Not Hate sort of

252
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 7>carried out a surveillance operation on me earlier this year

253
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 7>and they got me. They found out who I was

254
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 7>after all these years they did this terrible hit piece

255
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 7>on me. So this in a way for me, it's

256
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 7>too late. The state knows who I am. It's But

257
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 7>what it means is that in the future everybody will

258
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 7>be docs. I just already am and all of this

259
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 7>is where there's you're not going to have online anonymity.

260
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.879
<v Speaker 7>It's it's dead. It's a dead duck. And so you

261
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Speaker 7>just come across this stuff in your face all of

262
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 7>the time. You know it's and you know, you don't

263
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 7>know where it's going to go on the.

264
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Back end or anything.

265
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.879
<v Speaker 7>But to get back to the just the issue with

266
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 7>the labor government, I do really like the fact that

267
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 7>the Americans, because like Trump and jd. Vance and these

268
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 7>people have been launching broadside against the British government because

269
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 7>I know, like it's it's all the rage now for

270
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 7>people to say, well, you know, criticized Donald Trump, or

271
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.359
<v Speaker 7>he's not getting this, he's not getting that, doing that,

272
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 7>that that's for you you fellas in America. That that's

273
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 7>like a sort of internal American thing just in terms

274
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.680
<v Speaker 7>of having that kind of voice put pressure on the

275
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 7>on the British government and shine a torch on them

276
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.640
<v Speaker 7>and say what the hell are you doing what is

277
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.359
<v Speaker 7>going on here that I'm not going to be such

278
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.039
<v Speaker 7>a kind of spurg We we don't have the luxury

279
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.960
<v Speaker 7>of of snubbing on us.

280
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that that kind of thing?

281
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.000
<v Speaker 7>We need all the help we can get here. But

282
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.839
<v Speaker 7>the issue with what labor have inherited was sort of

283
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 7>baked in, and I think they came in wanted to

284
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 7>be just a leftist standard of course, sort of sent

285
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 7>a left party. But the state of the country is

286
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 7>a tinder box. It's in such a bad state that

287
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 7>they've actually had to do all kinds of schizophrenic moves.

288
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 7>So the immigration this year is coming down quite drastically.

289
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Actually, it's they're not.

290
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 7>The last figures have thought saw was they're on track

291
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.720
<v Speaker 7>for like six hundred thousand fewer immigrants than what we

292
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 7>got last year. That they're talking tough on all kinds

293
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 7>of things. Now this is people will say this is

294
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 7>because we form with Nigel Farage are coming in from

295
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 7>the right and putting pressure on them, and it is.

296
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 7>It is part of that.

297
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think the deeper issue is that you have

298
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 2>to rule. You can't just be.

299
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.559
<v Speaker 7>A sadistic sort of a bunch of gangstars who torment

300
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 7>and sort of persecute people and rub them up the

301
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 7>wrong way for nothing. There comes that gets you get

302
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 7>those certain point where the legitimacy of the state is

303
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 7>becoming a real problem. We've had hundreds of thousands of

304
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.720
<v Speaker 7>people leaving the country, this kind of thing, and so

305
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.200
<v Speaker 7>you get this kind of thing where labor have to

306
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 7>lurch quite far right just because of the basic infrastructure

307
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 7>of the country, just because the country. I mean, I

308
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 7>did a video on this a while ago on the

309
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 7>demographics that it's possible we are a failed state and

310
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 7>with the white British are still the majority, because people

311
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.920
<v Speaker 7>didn't seem to factor that in when when you get

312
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.480
<v Speaker 7>these get these numbers will be a minority by twenty

313
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.599
<v Speaker 7>fifty or twenty sixty or whatever. It was never the

314
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:58.160
<v Speaker 7>social factors of that along the way weren't factored in

315
00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 7>at all.

316
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.839
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, several several things there to your point about you know,

317
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 6>different takes on on Trump. This is something that always

318
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 6>frustrates me. Uh, you're talking with nationalists or right wingers,

319
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:16.160
<v Speaker 6>which is there's sort of this kind of pie in

320
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 6>the sky version of of nationalism, which is that you know,

321
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 6>nationalism all goes one direction, and I understand it right.

322
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 6>You know, all of us are sort of fighting against

323
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 6>this sort of you know, globalist block. I get that,

324
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.160
<v Speaker 6>but there are many cases in which you know, your

325
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:34.400
<v Speaker 6>natural or national interest in mind might be at opposite ends.

326
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.680
<v Speaker 6>And look, I'm not even saying Trump is a perfect

327
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 6>example of that. You know, Ukraine is perhaps an even

328
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 6>better one. You know, I understand why the you know,

329
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.119
<v Speaker 6>the the Nordic guys are all you know, very much

330
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 6>pro you know, fighting Russia. It makes good sense, whereas

331
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 6>in my position it's like, well, to be honest, man,

332
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to be involved in it. Uh just

333
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 6>a brief aside there, but uh yeah, I think that

334
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.319
<v Speaker 6>the the problem of you know, ruling of simply you know,

335
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 6>the state continuing to function. It's crazy to see the decline.

336
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.839
<v Speaker 6>So I've been on kind of a crusade against the

337
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, the center right in America. You know, they're

338
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 6>they're attacking what they call either the woke right or

339
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 6>the new right. And there are two lines of attack.

340
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 6>One which is pretty easy to dismiss is you are

341
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 6>all actually Marxists. You are woke, you are the woke right.

342
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 6>You can sort of dismiss that one out of hand.

343
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:31.079
<v Speaker 6>But another one. And you see this in kind of

344
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 6>the legacy press and people like David French. Is this

345
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.240
<v Speaker 6>idea that oh, you're simply blinded by sort of artificial

346
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 6>nostalgia for a world that never existed. Things have always

347
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 6>been like this. You know, it's not really bad, things

348
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 6>aren't really in crisis. And obviously it's a completely disingenuous

349
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 6>argument because you know, you look to a country like yours,

350
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 6>which you're sure there were problems in the nineties, there

351
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 6>were problems in the eighties. We mentioned in the industrialization.

352
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.920
<v Speaker 6>You know, all of these are very real crises. But

353
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.640
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned earlier and I can't remember her name that

354
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:06.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, the sort of prominent murderers, you know, this

355
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.200
<v Speaker 6>woman who sort of became the you know, the talk

356
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 6>of the town right for killing, and it almost seems

357
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:20.039
<v Speaker 6>quine in comparison with you know, modern violence. Right Axel

358
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 6>Rubacabana is one example, but you know there are dozens more.

359
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.680
<v Speaker 6>And you see that and you're like, well, okay, like that,

360
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 6>we've lost several things there. One, we've lost a little

361
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.839
<v Speaker 6>bit like an absolute amount of immediate security. How likely

362
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 6>are you to be killed? But also you've lost a

363
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:42.079
<v Speaker 6>culture where people could be unified in opposition to some

364
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 6>sort of savage attack, right, that that was seen universally

365
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 6>as something that was notable enough to talk about and

366
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 6>also to morally condemn. There's sort of a cultural unity

367
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 6>there that has been lost. It's the idea that this

368
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.240
<v Speaker 6>is simply you know, disingenuous complaints from the new right,

369
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.319
<v Speaker 6>whatever you want to call it, is absurd, right. Similarly,

370
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 6>in our case, I think that the Charlie Kirk assassination

371
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 6>is one of the biggest stories of the last year

372
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 6>because obviously the event is significant. A man was murdered graphically,

373
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 6>you know, for the whole world to see, but the

374
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.440
<v Speaker 6>reaction to it, both the failure to capitalize or to

375
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.920
<v Speaker 6>address this issue from the center right and also effectively

376
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 6>the laughing scorn from the left that oh, you know,

377
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 6>that violence was was ultimately legitimate. They're like, okay, well,

378
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.279
<v Speaker 6>America is perhaps not a failed state, you know, it's

379
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 6>not Venezuela or South Africa, but something very definitely has

380
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.839
<v Speaker 6>been lost there, some sort of cultural cohesion that in

381
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 6>the previous era most people would feel as if this

382
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 6>sort of event is life altering, right. It was something

383
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 6>that you know, the Kennedy assassination. Obviously that's a president,

384
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 6>but that was a where were you moment? You know,

385
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 6>the other political assassinations as well well, And to see

386
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:03.559
<v Speaker 6>that sort of pulled into you know, kind of the

387
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.720
<v Speaker 6>culture where it's like, okay, well we've lost a unified

388
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 6>culture in any way, and look like a large part

389
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 6>of that is migration. New arrivals simply do not have

390
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 6>the same kind of cultural attitudes that you or I do.

391
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 6>But another part of it is that, like the realm

392
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.279
<v Speaker 6>of politics has expanded to such a degree that, you know,

393
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 6>things that were previously off limits in a more homogeneous

394
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 6>culture are now simply part of you know, the daily grind.

395
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:35.759
<v Speaker 6>And in much the same way, I see the same

396
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 6>thing happening to these you know, horrific migrant crimes.

397
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, I've did quite a lengthy article on

398
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.240
<v Speaker 7>I call it the Evil Past and Present. And it

399
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 7>began because I saw like a shit live on Twitter

400
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.119
<v Speaker 7>put how a picture of Maira Hindley. Now, I'll just

401
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 7>explain a little bit. In the nineteen sixties, there was

402
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:05.640
<v Speaker 7>a couple called Ian Brady and Myra Hindley who murdered

403
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:10.160
<v Speaker 7>and abused children and buried them in the Yorkshire was

404
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 7>and they took those videos that were it was. It

405
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 7>was really grotesque and horrible and the woman. Now people

406
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 7>can kind of absorb and understand that Ian Brady, he

407
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 7>was the motivating factor behind it. And what's really got

408
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.680
<v Speaker 7>people was that there was a woman involved. And there's

409
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 7>a famous smoke shot of the two of them together.

410
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.000
<v Speaker 7>It's in black and white and she's got this so

411
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:39.559
<v Speaker 7>blonde peroxide hair. The Wars murders. If you want to

412
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 7>see it, I've got on the article as well. And

413
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:48.039
<v Speaker 7>one of that image of Meira Hindley became a kind

414
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 7>of something in British folklore, almost as an object of evil.

415
00:25:54.319 --> 00:26:00.200
<v Speaker 7>She became this demonic presence within the collective psychology of

416
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 7>the culture and so to how and then there was

417
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 7>this person said, basically, you've always had these murderers, and

418
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 7>I thought that was very interesting because the mug shot.

419
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 7>It always comes down to the mug shot, and the

420
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 7>mug shots that the famous ones. Now you'll see of

421
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.960
<v Speaker 7>these grooming gang sort of perpetrate as where you'll have

422
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 7>sort of five or six Pakistani faces all lined up together,

423
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 7>but you'll also have the actual rule of Kabana one

424
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.200
<v Speaker 7>where he just looks wild and feral, and what interested

425
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 7>in me was that it doesn't have the same effect,

426
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.039
<v Speaker 7>It doesn't embed itself in the culture the way that

427
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 7>Maira Hindley did. And it took me down a bit

428
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 7>of a rabbit hole and I discovered.

429
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:48.519
<v Speaker 3>That in.

430
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 7>I mean, even when she was alive. She died in

431
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 7>two thousand and two or two thousand and three, but

432
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.759
<v Speaker 7>even when she was alive, that image was called iconic,

433
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 7>which but it was an icon of evil, and we

434
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:10.400
<v Speaker 7>all understood it wasn't political in any way, and we

435
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.839
<v Speaker 7>didn't have the degree of managerial state where they kind

436
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 7>of said, well, she had a rough childhood or this

437
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 7>or that the other, and so you had this element

438
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:25.880
<v Speaker 7>where almost like in a village where a woman was

439
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 7>accused of being a witch and she was kind of

440
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 7>lashed out of town and she became this kind of

441
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:38.400
<v Speaker 7>she's evil, get her out to be spiritually purged from

442
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 7>the inn group, and there was really an element of that,

443
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 7>and that image of her was just regurgitated in British

444
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 7>culture forever. And in the nineteen nineties somebody cottoned onto

445
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 7>this and this modern artist put together like a big

446
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 7>montage of Meira Hindley's the image of her the mug

447
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 7>shot you using the hands of small children, and people

448
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.119
<v Speaker 7>were absolutely outraged, and he the image got damaged when

449
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.480
<v Speaker 7>it was in an art gallery, but it was this

450
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 7>kind of what he was actually getting at was this

451
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:21.200
<v Speaker 7>sort of borderardium, sort of commentary on images replicating images,

452
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 7>because the actual real woman of Maira Hindley by this time,

453
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 7>she was just this kind of frail, elderly depressive in

454
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.000
<v Speaker 7>a jail cell, but her image kind of lingered on

455
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 7>in the cultural psyche and she became something more, and

456
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.680
<v Speaker 7>he was trying to sort of touch on that the

457
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:44.200
<v Speaker 7>meaning of signs and symbols and kind of hyper realism.

458
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:49.279
<v Speaker 7>And what's fascinating is that the mog shots that we

459
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 7>get now, the actual banner or the Pakistani grooming gangs

460
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 7>or whatever, they just don't have any of that, because

461
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.200
<v Speaker 7>when you go to say the nineteen sixties, Britain was

462
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 7>still ninety eight percent Native and when you look at

463
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:13.640
<v Speaker 7>my Raindley, you've got one of your own staring back

464
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 7>at you. That's why it became this kind of symbolic

465
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:22.440
<v Speaker 7>act of purging the witch, get this sick demon out,

466
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 7>get her out of the group. But when you've got

467
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:31.400
<v Speaker 7>this sort of when actually Lucabana staring back at you,

468
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.079
<v Speaker 7>it isn't even part of your in group, you will

469
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 7>you kind of it becomes political in a way. It's

470
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.759
<v Speaker 7>more of a political act because you think, well, he's

471
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 7>here because of political decisions, and he isn't of the

472
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 7>in group, And so instead of having almost like this

473
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.480
<v Speaker 7>metaphysical evil all of a sudden, it's it's something close

474
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.039
<v Speaker 7>that to sort of inter ethnic warfare. But of course,

475
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 7>because of the lies that the society's built on, you

476
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:08.319
<v Speaker 7>can't even acknowledge that. You can't have that conversation, so

477
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 7>you're just left with this sort of barrenness, this kind

478
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 7>of abyss where it's just this squalid, depressing.

479
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Reality that you inhabit. Now you don't even.

480
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 7>Get that catharsis of lashing the witch out of the village,

481
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:31.559
<v Speaker 7>or looking back at part of your group gone horribly

482
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:34.920
<v Speaker 7>horribly wrong and become sick and poison because they were

483
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 7>never you in the first place. It's the same with

484
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:38.559
<v Speaker 7>the Pakistani mok shots.

485
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:39.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just the other.

486
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 7>It's just this wall of otherness looking back at you.

487
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.680
<v Speaker 7>And this is kind of baked in across the UK

488
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 7>now and it gives this kind of gloom over everything,

489
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 7>this acknowledgment of it, but also the fact that you

490
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:02.200
<v Speaker 7>aren't even allowed to sort of intellectually investigated.

491
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 2>We're all create a.

492
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.279
<v Speaker 7>Cultural sort of movement around it and discuss it honestly,

493
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.720
<v Speaker 7>as we have done with these things in the past.

494
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 7>I mean the fact that he made that postmodern kind

495
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:19.359
<v Speaker 7>of badly advised I would say artwork of Maira Hindley's face.

496
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:21.680
<v Speaker 7>He was at least trying to comment on her place

497
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:25.319
<v Speaker 7>and that image in British culture. But you couldn't do

498
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:28.079
<v Speaker 7>that with actually Rukbana because it would be seen as

499
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:32.880
<v Speaker 7>I mean, they prefer that you just don't see any

500
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.039
<v Speaker 7>of it. I mean just there. So there was a

501
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.319
<v Speaker 7>nine year old girl stabbed to death in Somerset somewhere,

502
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.720
<v Speaker 7>which is quite a nice part of England.

503
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.079
<v Speaker 2>It's the Shias.

504
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 7>And it was a fifteen year old boy who did it,

505
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:53.240
<v Speaker 7>but we don't have any other details. So here you

506
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 7>come here here it is well, so now the BBC

507
00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:01.680
<v Speaker 7>will close the replies. You're not given anything more to

508
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 7>go on because of legal reasons, and everybody suspects what

509
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 7>they don't know, and probably in a few years we

510
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:12.720
<v Speaker 7>will get to know and this is this is just

511
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.319
<v Speaker 7>the misery of it, and the misery of where we

512
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 7>are culturally spiritually. It's it's rotten, and it's it's it's

513
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:23.440
<v Speaker 7>hollowed out and it's it's it kind of consumes everything.

514
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.440
<v Speaker 7>It's difficult to step outside of it. It's why I

515
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.319
<v Speaker 7>just focus almost entirely on on Britain these days.

516
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 6>I recently rewatched uh, the original Blade Runner film, uh,

517
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 6>and I was really struck by several things about it,

518
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:44.160
<v Speaker 6>which is one, the Blade Runner is sort of the

519
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.920
<v Speaker 6>future that came to pass. Obviously, you have the look

520
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.759
<v Speaker 6>of it, right, this kind of sort of dystopian, you know,

521
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 6>blend of all cultures, kind of peat like layered on

522
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 6>top of this pre existing, previously existing world. Right you

523
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.759
<v Speaker 6>have you know the kind of old you know, Victorian era,

524
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, apartment buildings, you know, run down, you know,

525
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:10.160
<v Speaker 6>covered in neon signs for you know, companies, you know,

526
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:13.039
<v Speaker 6>kind of broadcasting vice everywhere, which you know you see

527
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 6>obviously in America in places like you know, any urban center,

528
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:18.839
<v Speaker 6>but you know, in kind of an echo of that

529
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.519
<v Speaker 6>in the UK aesthetic. But also to me, I think

530
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 6>it's interesting because you know, the whole idea of the replicants, right,

531
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.960
<v Speaker 6>these these sort of artificial people created as slaves, rights,

532
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:36.680
<v Speaker 6>as cheap labor, wreaking havoc. You know, it has very

533
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.200
<v Speaker 6>much been you know, the story of you know, the

534
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:42.640
<v Speaker 6>twenty first century in both our countries. One of the

535
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:45.400
<v Speaker 6>biggest stories in America over the last year, and I've

536
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.720
<v Speaker 6>got a trucker on to talk about this has been

537
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 6>obviously in a proliferation of migrant truckers. You know, this

538
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.240
<v Speaker 6>incredibly dangerous job. You know, you're driving something that's sixty

539
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:59.039
<v Speaker 6>thousand pounds on a highway with normal cars, which you know,

540
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 6>previously was the realm of be honest, working class white guys.

541
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 6>It was a good way to make money. You know,

542
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.960
<v Speaker 6>you could with a relatively small amount of capital, you know,

543
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.760
<v Speaker 6>put yourself in a position where you're making good money.

544
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker 6>And that needed to be done away with, that needed

545
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.119
<v Speaker 6>to be replaced. We needed to do it cheaper, and

546
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.760
<v Speaker 6>so we imported these sort of fake citizens in many cases, right,

547
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:25.760
<v Speaker 6>these sort of like replicants, if you can imagine, and

548
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:28.840
<v Speaker 6>it's unleashed havoc. Right, there have been a number of,

549
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:32.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, horrific videos of these you know, death machines,

550
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, just running through people, you know, blowing away,

551
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.159
<v Speaker 6>you know, a family in a sedan. And the most

552
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 6>iconic one, I think is that you know that crash

553
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.039
<v Speaker 6>from Florida where these two Indian guys are in the

554
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 6>you know, the front seat and they just you know,

555
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:49.079
<v Speaker 6>whip into a little access point which you know, cars

556
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 6>aren't supposed to go in let alone. You know, a

557
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.840
<v Speaker 6>semi truck across the lane of traffic and you kill

558
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:58.639
<v Speaker 6>a family of four, and in much the same way, right,

559
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 6>you see these this is something that's always happened. There

560
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 6>always been accidents. These are dangerous things. You know. You

561
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 6>might have a guy from West Virginia, you know, high

562
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 6>on meth and he you know, does the same thing.

563
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.119
<v Speaker 6>But it is different when it is someone who has

564
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:16.159
<v Speaker 6>basically been brought here in the last six months, right,

565
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 6>and in order to you know, grease the wheels of

566
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:24.320
<v Speaker 6>this managerial system. Those four people. There are many other examples,

567
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:25.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, I'm sure you don't need me to remind

568
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 6>you have been sacrificed on that altar. And again, right,

569
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.280
<v Speaker 6>it's that same sort of thing like this, We've always

570
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:36.079
<v Speaker 6>had violence, and look, America has always been a violent country,

571
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:41.519
<v Speaker 6>there's no two ways about it. But this new, this

572
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:44.400
<v Speaker 6>new sort of crime, and we've seen with these truckers,

573
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:49.000
<v Speaker 6>let alone the kind of you know, massive fraud that

574
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:51.519
<v Speaker 6>we've seen in places like Minnesota. It's like all of

575
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 6>these war choices, this did not have to happen. And

576
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:58.079
<v Speaker 6>what we've seen, and this is I think an origin

577
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.199
<v Speaker 6>a lot of the you know, a lot of the

578
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:03.880
<v Speaker 6>annoyance with the Trump administration in the US is that

579
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, he's he's very comfortable talking about, you know,

580
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker 6>the illegal immigration. It's something that's effectively ceased to be

581
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.880
<v Speaker 6>a problem. You know, these mass deportations are to some

582
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:18.320
<v Speaker 6>degree occurring, and that's something to be thankful for. But

583
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.840
<v Speaker 6>that need for the for the system to you know,

584
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:24.639
<v Speaker 6>have cheap labor, that need for the system to keep

585
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.320
<v Speaker 6>expanding forever, well, that comes first, and so we'll replace

586
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.800
<v Speaker 6>you another way, will replace you legally. You know, we've

587
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.079
<v Speaker 6>seen that with you know, these sort of high skill

588
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.920
<v Speaker 6>visas quote unquote, you know, all of these that comes

589
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 6>before anything else, and these casualties seemingly are completely and

590
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 6>totally acceptable, you know, to to serve that end.

591
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, our I think our version of that

592
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:56.800
<v Speaker 7>beside the the the ulder stuff like the grooming gangs,

593
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:00.320
<v Speaker 7>which is still going on. Well, the thing for this, yeah,

594
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 7>has been the the like the asylum seeker things, particularly

595
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:10.119
<v Speaker 7>men from Afghanistan or I think there was like four

596
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:13.079
<v Speaker 7>cases last week where they were raved. And you see

597
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.400
<v Speaker 7>these stories, I know, I realized that this is like

598
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:18.920
<v Speaker 7>a thoroughly sort of depressed and subject all of what

599
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 7>we're talking about. That that's just the way it is

600
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 7>in in Britain. That's that's the you know it, this

601
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.880
<v Speaker 7>is sadly and I lament that as well. I like,

602
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 7>I don't want that you get this strange thing like

603
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:41.000
<v Speaker 7>the girl that I saw today on X this story

604
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.880
<v Speaker 7>where the girl was a nine year old girl was

605
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:45.559
<v Speaker 7>stabbed as death. And it gets back to what I

606
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 7>was saying earlier, where this once upon a time that

607
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:53.840
<v Speaker 7>would have been a big thing, and now it just

608
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.400
<v Speaker 7>sort of drifts down your your news feed.

609
00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:58.639
<v Speaker 2>It's people will.

610
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:02.559
<v Speaker 7>Swipe past it on their phones and I thought, I thought,

611
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:05.360
<v Speaker 7>I thought, is this is this just how it gets normalized?

612
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:05.559
<v Speaker 9>Now?

613
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Is this? Is this not enough? When is it?

614
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 7>Does it have to be more than one?

615
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Does it?

616
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 7>And it just seems to is this is this just

617
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.519
<v Speaker 7>like the collapse. Now is this because there's no signs

618
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:22.440
<v Speaker 7>of this getting any better, and the state just is

619
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 7>a completely blindsided by all of this. I mean, I

620
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:31.519
<v Speaker 7>try to order for for the garden and some pruners

621
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 7>on eb to to prune a planet a color of

622
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 7>raspberry bushes, and so I thought, I haven't got any

623
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.599
<v Speaker 7>prune as I'm gonna at the end of the season,

624
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.480
<v Speaker 7>and I found out that I couldn't actually, I couldn't

625
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:49.559
<v Speaker 7>actually order them online. And you get these things now

626
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.559
<v Speaker 7>where you get knaves are coming out now in London

627
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:56.400
<v Speaker 7>and they've got rounded tips on them, and so people

628
00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 7>can't eat basically because it's a weapon, but for some reason,

629
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:07.360
<v Speaker 7>like a set of gardening like prunas, handheld prunas for

630
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.960
<v Speaker 7>you to clip branches, it's it's sharp and you could

631
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's it's so basically the state has decided

632
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 7>that you just can't buy them online anymore, in the

633
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:19.559
<v Speaker 7>same way that you have to show your face to

634
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:25.239
<v Speaker 7>access the messages on substack. And so you see these

635
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 7>pathetic and stupid attempts to hold the hold the line

636
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:34.400
<v Speaker 7>against the tide, rather than addressing the core issues and

637
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 7>the stuff of the asylum seekers. There was a story

638
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 7>this year where they've been putting them up in hotels,

639
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.559
<v Speaker 7>which is bad enough. They crossed the channel on boats

640
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 7>and they put them up in hotels and in Epping

641
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:52.119
<v Speaker 7>this year they protested against the establishment of such a

642
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.920
<v Speaker 7>hotel and they was brushed down. They were called for right,

643
00:39:56.039 --> 00:40:00.719
<v Speaker 7>they were called extremists, and then a local girl was

644
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:04.480
<v Speaker 7>sexually abused. Now I'm not sure if you I'm not

645
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:06.360
<v Speaker 7>sure the extent of that, then I have to be

646
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 7>careful what I say about these things because not allowed. Again,

647
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:12.679
<v Speaker 7>you just walk around eggshells all of the time, so

648
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:17.199
<v Speaker 7>I could be construed as spreading misinformation. There's a whole

649
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:20.559
<v Speaker 7>other thing to do with, like where how we exist

650
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.440
<v Speaker 7>in England now where everybody has to speak like a lawyer,

651
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.039
<v Speaker 7>because you've always got to have a get out, you've

652
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:31.360
<v Speaker 7>always got to have applausible deniability, or you can't put

653
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:34.719
<v Speaker 7>in all groups. You'll have to say it mainly or

654
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.639
<v Speaker 7>instead of just talking about a group and this kind

655
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:42.199
<v Speaker 7>of thing. But anyway, they then covered that up the

656
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.679
<v Speaker 7>newspaper and the government put like a block on that

657
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 7>where it was covered up and so the people have

658
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:52.239
<v Speaker 7>already protested against it. They were proven to be correct,

659
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.079
<v Speaker 7>and then that was the whole what they were scared

660
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.079
<v Speaker 7>of happened that was covered up. They then launched an

661
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 7>appeal and it was to say that the hotel would

662
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:06.440
<v Speaker 7>in fact be closed down. The government in London then

663
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:10.360
<v Speaker 7>intervened and said no, this the Supreme Court I think

664
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:14.280
<v Speaker 7>it was, which is just this blair right nonsense, said no,

665
00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:18.159
<v Speaker 7>actually it will stay open. And then the person who

666
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:23.320
<v Speaker 7>actually was another person was touched the girl did something

667
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:27.679
<v Speaker 7>wrong like that, he actually wandered away, if you remember,

668
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.800
<v Speaker 7>it was everywhere he escaped. He escaped and he was

669
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:33.360
<v Speaker 7>just wondering. He was Ethiopian and he was just wandering

670
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:34.960
<v Speaker 7>around for days on end.

671
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:35.920
<v Speaker 3>And.

672
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:41.400
<v Speaker 7>You just think it's it's there's this kind of thing

673
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:45.000
<v Speaker 7>that we talk about, whether it's incompetence or malice. Is

674
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:48.039
<v Speaker 7>this kind of meme that goes around in Britain. And

675
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:52.119
<v Speaker 7>because the argument will be somebody like my dad, for example,

676
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:56.280
<v Speaker 7>on friends would say the government are useless. They are

677
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:59.760
<v Speaker 7>absolutely useless. They just don't know what they're doing. And

678
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.559
<v Speaker 7>you think, after a certain amount of time you can't

679
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:07.320
<v Speaker 7>just say it's useless anymore. It gets to a point

680
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.760
<v Speaker 7>where you have to say world on a second. This

681
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:14.039
<v Speaker 7>is when it's always I mean, one of the things

682
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.360
<v Speaker 7>that I say is that if it was just incompetence,

683
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:20.519
<v Speaker 7>it would going out of way, it would favor us

684
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:25.440
<v Speaker 7>sometimes even if just by random chance. But that never happens,

685
00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:28.920
<v Speaker 7>and so the only conclusion you can draw is that

686
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:33.960
<v Speaker 7>they are malicious. They are actually malicious. Now, having said that,

687
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:40.519
<v Speaker 7>you do also have total incompetence baked into this, this

688
00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:44.599
<v Speaker 7>system of orders and magnitudes that would have just been

689
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:48.880
<v Speaker 7>maind boggling to British people thirty or forty years.

690
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:50.559
<v Speaker 2>They would not comprehend it.

691
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean, to that point, Morgreth, We're three or four

692
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:59.920
<v Speaker 6>days into the investigation of this shooting it Brown which

693
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 6>which is a large university in the middle of you know,

694
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:10.079
<v Speaker 6>a progressive city, and seemingly there was some sort of

695
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:14.440
<v Speaker 6>political motive that this girl killed. One of two was,

696
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.400
<v Speaker 6>you know, the leader of a conservative group who was

697
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:22.920
<v Speaker 6>devoutly religious, seems and despite all of this state surveillance apparatus,

698
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.920
<v Speaker 6>we have a photo of a person of interest, but

699
00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:30.840
<v Speaker 6>no arrest has been made seemingly. You know, when when

700
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.960
<v Speaker 6>the state is is truly angered, right, when they're actually

701
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:36.840
<v Speaker 6>interested in bringing someone to justice as we saw, you know,

702
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.199
<v Speaker 6>post jan six. Well, they can make arrests almost immediately.

703
00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:42.559
<v Speaker 6>You know, they can fence your phone and find you

704
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.320
<v Speaker 6>no matter where you run or even you know, as

705
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:48.159
<v Speaker 6>we saw under Biden, right, this eighty some year old

706
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 6>woman who is you know, protesting in front of an

707
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.159
<v Speaker 6>abortion clinic, right holding up a sign that says you

708
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:56.280
<v Speaker 6>don't kill your baby, and she goes to jail. We

709
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.719
<v Speaker 6>can find her, of course, But again to your point,

710
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.599
<v Speaker 6>you'd assume, you know, if this wasn't competence, there'd be

711
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 6>sort of a random walk and you know, maybe not

712
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:06.519
<v Speaker 6>half the time, but at least some of the time

713
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.159
<v Speaker 6>it would go your way. And when that is not

714
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:14.920
<v Speaker 6>the case, the next logical question is, well, why it

715
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:18.119
<v Speaker 6>seemingly when you want to you can get things done

716
00:44:18.239 --> 00:44:21.559
<v Speaker 6>very quickly. You can bring down this sort of harsh

717
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 6>violence as we saw, you know, to the protesters and

718
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.079
<v Speaker 6>epic right, people can be thrown in jail, We can

719
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.559
<v Speaker 6>have courts running around the clock to make sure these people,

720
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.719
<v Speaker 6>you know, receive the state's idea of justice. But this,

721
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:36.639
<v Speaker 6>this really comes down to the question, and this is

722
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:38.880
<v Speaker 6>something that's come up in you know, American discourse as well,

723
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:41.199
<v Speaker 6>which is to be honest, like, what is the point

724
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:45.559
<v Speaker 6>of the country here? Why does this exist? And you know,

725
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:47.719
<v Speaker 6>you or I I have the idea that, well, it

726
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.440
<v Speaker 6>is a place for a people. You know, there's a

727
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.360
<v Speaker 6>you know, a catchy term I probably can't say in

728
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:56.239
<v Speaker 6>YouTube for that sort of idea. But if simply it

729
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:58.639
<v Speaker 6>is this sort of like economic zone, if it simply

730
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:00.679
<v Speaker 6>is this sort of you know, support team where you

731
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.800
<v Speaker 6>need to you know, maximize your talent pool, that's not

732
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 6>really a country anymore. And you know, this was something

733
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:11.679
<v Speaker 6>that many right wingers were comfortable saying during the Biden years,

734
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:14.480
<v Speaker 6>right when he was letting in millions of people stream

735
00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:16.320
<v Speaker 6>across the border every year, like do we even have

736
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:19.800
<v Speaker 6>a country anymore? But you know that's changed, right, we

737
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:24.480
<v Speaker 6>swapped the guy out, and seemingly still that question of

738
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:31.199
<v Speaker 6>are we a real country or not remains unanswered. And again, right,

739
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:34.159
<v Speaker 6>like the purpose of someone being in charge is for

740
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:36.599
<v Speaker 6>there to be a ruler. And I think one of

741
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:40.199
<v Speaker 6>the terrifying things that's emerged in you know, American politics

742
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:45.000
<v Speaker 6>is this realization that effectively the system is unassailable. You

743
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:47.760
<v Speaker 6>can do everything you're supposed to do right, You can

744
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:51.559
<v Speaker 6>create a government apparatus for you know, purging the bloat,

745
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, for attacking the sort of patronage network of

746
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:57.559
<v Speaker 6>the left, you attacking the deep state, as it said,

747
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:01.280
<v Speaker 6>But it's almost like the blob is too big, it's

748
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:05.519
<v Speaker 6>gotten past the point of containment, and those interests right

749
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:08.920
<v Speaker 6>of sort of continuing the managerial system for see a

750
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:12.760
<v Speaker 6>pace no matter what, seemingly there's nothing to be done.

751
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:16.519
<v Speaker 6>And again I'm not trying to you know, monopolize this

752
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:20.159
<v Speaker 6>conversation talking about the you know, the American circumstance, but

753
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:22.079
<v Speaker 6>it is kind of bizarre that in both we are

754
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:25.679
<v Speaker 6>seeing this sort of crisis of legitimacy, Like what is

755
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:29.599
<v Speaker 6>the point of participation in this system if quite simply,

756
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:33.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, you're you're you're using a wheel that isn't

757
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:35.960
<v Speaker 6>connected to anything. In the US, we have these you know,

758
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:38.239
<v Speaker 6>shopping carts for children. We're just like you know, painted

759
00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:40.400
<v Speaker 6>like a race car with a little fake steering wheel

760
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:42.159
<v Speaker 6>in it so your kid can amuse themselves while you

761
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:42.639
<v Speaker 6>go shopping.

762
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Like is that what this is?

763
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.639
<v Speaker 6>Is effectively this whole thing just designed to you know,

764
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:49.880
<v Speaker 6>do what it was going to anyway and just make

765
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 6>you feel you know, Alternately, better or worse about it.

766
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.639
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I have an answer to that, but that's

767
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:56.320
<v Speaker 6>a dangerous place for regime to be.

768
00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:56.519
<v Speaker 10>It.

769
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.159
<v Speaker 6>We need some sort of buy in here.

770
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And this is this is why I think the

771
00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:06.480
<v Speaker 7>British government. It's unpopular to say, but I think the

772
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:11.960
<v Speaker 7>British government is panicking about this, just just in straightforward,

773
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:15.119
<v Speaker 7>even just from a Machiavellian point of view. I was

774
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:18.239
<v Speaker 7>thinking the other day, I mean, though, I think I

775
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:20.400
<v Speaker 7>might write something about this. There was some kind of

776
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:24.199
<v Speaker 7>atrocity happened last week. It's always the same, It's always

777
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:27.599
<v Speaker 7>the same thing. And I was I was thinking, I'd

778
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 7>rather have a weak king than this.

779
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Now.

780
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:35.199
<v Speaker 7>I'm not talking about Alfred the Great or Charlemagne or

781
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:38.639
<v Speaker 7>an Oliver Cromwell figure. What I mean is even like

782
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:43.199
<v Speaker 7>a weak pathetic king, like what Charles is now or

783
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.599
<v Speaker 7>what William will be in the future, even that would

784
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:47.920
<v Speaker 7>be better than what we've got now.

785
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:51.199
<v Speaker 2>And I realized that, you.

786
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.719
<v Speaker 7>Know, my, my misters, she watches all of the royal

787
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:58.800
<v Speaker 7>gossip rubbish. And I remember I wrote something. I watched

788
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.960
<v Speaker 7>that series that Crown last year, and you saw the

789
00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:07.320
<v Speaker 7>because of the royal family, what they are obsessed with

790
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.000
<v Speaker 7>in all of this. If you think like Prince Andrew,

791
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:13.360
<v Speaker 7>because he was connected to Epstein, they immediately just stripped

792
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.320
<v Speaker 7>him of everything and booted him. I mean to be honest,

793
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.840
<v Speaker 7>it took. It took longer suld have done. But they

794
00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:21.320
<v Speaker 7>realized there was more information going to come out in

795
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:24.239
<v Speaker 7>America and they were like, okay, get rid of them,

796
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:26.400
<v Speaker 7>get get rhythm, strip them everything, get rid of them.

797
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:29.760
<v Speaker 7>And the reason for it all And it's the whole

798
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.840
<v Speaker 7>all of the storylines, all of the plots, all of

799
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:37.119
<v Speaker 7>the drama in that TV show of the Crown is

800
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:42.599
<v Speaker 7>all about pr The royal family are absolutely desperate to

801
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:47.639
<v Speaker 7>be loved by the people, to be respected by the people.

802
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:49.639
<v Speaker 2>They it's all they want.

803
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:54.039
<v Speaker 7>And I was thinking, it's really strange because if you

804
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:58.159
<v Speaker 7>had a weak king and they had that same mindset,

805
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.719
<v Speaker 7>even if they were squishy and they didn't want to

806
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:05.199
<v Speaker 7>do things, They've got this this sort of sort of

807
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:09.239
<v Speaker 7>obsessed that people like them, that people like the Royals,

808
00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:16.039
<v Speaker 7>and whereas when you look at the state, the bureaucracy,

809
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:19.880
<v Speaker 7>they don't care because as who do you hete everybody

810
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:23.239
<v Speaker 7>hates Kirstalma, but he doesn't care. He really he's on

811
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:27.599
<v Speaker 7>like ten percent approval rating, and he'll just carry on pushing.

828
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:33.880
<v Speaker 7>Love like terrible things that nobody wants. I mean, that's

829
00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:36.960
<v Speaker 7>a whole different subject we'll get to know. But what

830
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.280
<v Speaker 7>I mean is when you take the daily, the daily

831
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:44.320
<v Speaker 7>atrocity that we get now, nobody really knows who's responsible.

832
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.400
<v Speaker 7>Whereas even if you had a because you've got this

833
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:52.480
<v Speaker 7>just just interlinking spaghetti of a system. But I don't know,

834
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:55.760
<v Speaker 7>it's a kind of old fashioned reactionary talking point. This

835
00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:58.719
<v Speaker 7>But even when you put it in like even a

836
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:02.320
<v Speaker 7>weakling like William would have to be sitting there, who

837
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:05.280
<v Speaker 7>would be sitting on top of this system? Even then

838
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:08.039
<v Speaker 7>you would say, well, ultimately you are in charge, why

839
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:10.559
<v Speaker 7>is it that the place is being flooded with these

840
00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:13.360
<v Speaker 7>sex pests? Like, ultimately, this is your country.

841
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:14.519
<v Speaker 2>You have to deal with it.

842
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.719
<v Speaker 7>But you can't really do that with If you try

843
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:20.559
<v Speaker 7>and pin that on the Labor Party, they'll just blame

844
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:23.559
<v Speaker 7>the Tory Party, or they'll blame this or that quango

845
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:27.440
<v Speaker 7>or the European Court of Human Rights or the Supreme Court.

846
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:31.480
<v Speaker 7>It just goes on and on and on. There's no accountability.

847
00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:35.599
<v Speaker 7>And it was fascinating to think that, you know, you

848
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:38.760
<v Speaker 7>go back in the day when was Diana having an

849
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:41.920
<v Speaker 7>affair and what would the public think of this? What,

850
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:44.800
<v Speaker 7>oh god, we have to we have to clean this

851
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:48.599
<v Speaker 7>mess up or people will not like us. And I thought, yeah,

852
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:50.800
<v Speaker 7>I'd like to have that. I'd like to have a

853
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:52.559
<v Speaker 7>bit more of that in the country.

854
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Even if it was like a total weakling, they would

855
00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:59.679
<v Speaker 2>at least in some way have to be responsive to

856
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:00.840
<v Speaker 2>what people want.

857
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:04.559
<v Speaker 6>Well and similarly as well. And this is a point

858
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:07.440
<v Speaker 6>that you know that Happa makes talking about monarchy, where

859
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:10.840
<v Speaker 6>it's like, well, you've you've also you know, established an

860
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:15.679
<v Speaker 6>interest in the nation. These these rulers that will they

861
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:18.199
<v Speaker 6>own it and they're going to pass it on to

862
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:21.920
<v Speaker 6>their family. Obviously there are still bad kings. Meristotle wrote

863
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:25.960
<v Speaker 6>about this quite a bit, but clearly are our elites

864
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:30.639
<v Speaker 6>do not see themselves as being connected to a place

865
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:33.559
<v Speaker 6>in any way. You know, what matters is not the

866
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:36.440
<v Speaker 6>actual nation, how it continues, but the sort of like

867
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:41.360
<v Speaker 6>aggregate propositional nation, right that the territory called America, and

868
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:44.039
<v Speaker 6>how much it can enrich me, you know, how much

869
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:45.960
<v Speaker 6>it can benefit my life. And this is the point

870
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:50.159
<v Speaker 6>that Land makes in Dark Enlightenment, I believe, where you know,

871
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:54.360
<v Speaker 6>he talks about how you know, the spendthrift politician is

872
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:57.360
<v Speaker 6>an evolutionary dead end because you have a very definite

873
00:52:57.360 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 6>amount of time and power. You have shorter in hours

874
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:02.280
<v Speaker 6>than ors, of course, and so you know, the incentive

875
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:05.159
<v Speaker 6>is to create this sort of smash and grap and

876
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:07.400
<v Speaker 6>you sort of have this for them, this sort of

877
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.320
<v Speaker 6>wonderful situation where you know, once you're in, you're in

878
00:53:11.039 --> 00:53:13.320
<v Speaker 6>and enrich yourself as much as you like. And then

879
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:16.559
<v Speaker 6>when questioned, you know, responsibility is so dispersed. It's really

880
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:19.159
<v Speaker 6>it's nobody's fault. You know, there's no one you can

881
00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 6>really blame. You've seen this, and I mentioned it before

882
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:25.840
<v Speaker 6>with this sort of massive welfare scandal coming out of Minnesota,

883
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:31.679
<v Speaker 6>right where these Somalis have you know, defrauded billion billion

884
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:35.320
<v Speaker 6>dollars plus or minus of you know, welfare money. And

885
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:38.239
<v Speaker 6>you know, when when looking for responsibility, sure you can

886
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:40.320
<v Speaker 6>look at the governor and it seems as if he's complicit,

887
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:43.360
<v Speaker 6>but you know, he's got more than enough people between

888
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:45.960
<v Speaker 6>him and anything actually said that he will never be

889
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:49.239
<v Speaker 6>forced to pay any consequences, for nobody will be forced

890
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:51.960
<v Speaker 6>to pay political consequences. The only people who might be

891
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.519
<v Speaker 6>are effectively, it seems like Donald Trump is family in

892
00:53:55.559 --> 00:53:59.239
<v Speaker 6>immediate circle, you know, because they have particularly angered you know,

893
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.760
<v Speaker 6>the life left. And that's I think Another thing that

894
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:04.719
<v Speaker 6>I find to be particularly galling in all of this

895
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:07.519
<v Speaker 6>is that I feel like, I can't be the only

896
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:09.519
<v Speaker 6>one looking at this and saying like, well, you know,

897
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:13.199
<v Speaker 6>mister president, do you not realize what they're going to

898
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:16.599
<v Speaker 6>do to you him? His family has already been debanked,

899
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:18.719
<v Speaker 6>even down to his nineteen year old son can't get

900
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.840
<v Speaker 6>a bank account, you know, simply through association. And so

901
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:23.800
<v Speaker 6>when you look at him or even you know, many

902
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:26.320
<v Speaker 6>others in the nominal kind of conservative movement after the

903
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:29.599
<v Speaker 6>death of Charlie Kirk, it's like, well, like, where do

904
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.079
<v Speaker 6>you think this goes? Do you think that they're suddenly

905
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:37.119
<v Speaker 6>going to stop being violent? Because the sad lesson of

906
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:41.440
<v Speaker 6>that case is, effectively, no political violence works. You're sure

907
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:42.840
<v Speaker 6>that kid is going to go to jail for the

908
00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:46.960
<v Speaker 6>rest of his life. But for everyone else they they want,

909
00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:50.440
<v Speaker 6>they paid effectively no consequence and got one of their

910
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:53.760
<v Speaker 6>enemies removed. And so to me, I think that's a

911
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.000
<v Speaker 6>very worrisome trend that I've identified going forward. It seems

912
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.559
<v Speaker 6>as if the taboo around political violence has been well

913
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:04.719
<v Speaker 6>and truly broken. You know. Sure, obviously the individual people

914
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:07.280
<v Speaker 6>were either killed in the act or you know, put

915
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:10.599
<v Speaker 6>in jail, So there's that, right, there's still some semblance

916
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:12.559
<v Speaker 6>of justice, although in this case in Brown that may

917
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:16.360
<v Speaker 6>be falling apart for you know, again incompetence, ormalice. Who knows.

918
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:22.519
<v Speaker 6>But again, do you are we still a real country anymore?

919
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:25.840
<v Speaker 6>Or are we this sort of banana republic where you know,

920
00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:30.199
<v Speaker 6>effectively the political class persecutes who they will and uses

921
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:33.400
<v Speaker 6>this sort of paramilitary violence to go after their enemies.

922
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:36.400
<v Speaker 6>I thought the whole point of a society was to

923
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:37.840
<v Speaker 6>have a monopoly on violence.

924
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Has that gone?

925
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:42.880
<v Speaker 6>Are we still, as you've said, like a functional country

926
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:45.719
<v Speaker 6>or is this becoming a sort of failed state? And obviously,

927
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:48.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, not literally, you know, I can still press

928
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:51.000
<v Speaker 6>a button and get whatever I want delivered to my house.

929
00:55:51.079 --> 00:55:54.760
<v Speaker 6>It's not you know, it's not Zimbabwe. But you start

930
00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:55.960
<v Speaker 6>to look at this and say, like, all right, we're

931
00:55:55.960 --> 00:55:58.559
<v Speaker 6>identifying trend lines here, like where does this go and

932
00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:02.599
<v Speaker 6>where is where is the urgency you would expect from

933
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:06.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, a ruling class faced with these sort of problems.

934
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:08.679
<v Speaker 6>Like one of the other things that I've been thinking

935
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:11.599
<v Speaker 6>about quite a lot is you know, how many of

936
00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:14.079
<v Speaker 6>these sort of political assassins fit the same profile?

937
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Right?

938
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.719
<v Speaker 6>Ironically enough, you know, young men radicalized on the internet,

939
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:23.239
<v Speaker 6>but you know, towards this kind of like combination of

940
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:27.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, bizarre sexual perversion and extreme left wing politics,

941
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:31.039
<v Speaker 6>and it's like, well, you know, both of these kids

942
00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:34.360
<v Speaker 6>are not from you know, liberal families, They're not from

943
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:37.880
<v Speaker 6>these kind of stereotypical progressives. They're sort of you know,

944
00:56:38.119 --> 00:56:40.559
<v Speaker 6>sleeper cells that have been left in every you know,

945
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:44.599
<v Speaker 6>cul de sac in the country. And especially when you

946
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:46.760
<v Speaker 6>consider the fact that fewer and fewer young men are

947
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:49.599
<v Speaker 6>able to do the things that traditionally connected people to

948
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:53.360
<v Speaker 6>a society, able to you know, find a woman, you know,

949
00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:58.280
<v Speaker 6>find property that is a tinder box. You know that

950
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:02.400
<v Speaker 6>not necessarily for some sort of war, but to say,

951
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:06.079
<v Speaker 6>like you were, you have this incredible population of young

952
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:08.679
<v Speaker 6>men with nothing to lose, and they have been given

953
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:13.039
<v Speaker 6>moral license to do something drastic. I can't be the

954
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:15.920
<v Speaker 6>only one seeing where this goes. And it seems like

955
00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:18.440
<v Speaker 6>there are so many of these issues which are you know,

956
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:22.360
<v Speaker 6>if not you know, boiling over you. They're starting to bubble,

957
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:26.360
<v Speaker 6>and there seems to be no reaction. And I don't

958
00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:28.360
<v Speaker 6>know if that's because it serves the ends of those

959
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.400
<v Speaker 6>in power, or they're simply too lazy or incompetent to

960
00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:33.639
<v Speaker 6>address it. Sorry, more as a bit of a rant

961
00:57:33.679 --> 00:57:35.119
<v Speaker 6>for me, but something I've been thinking about.

962
00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:39.519
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, it's that's quite specific to America. We

963
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:42.400
<v Speaker 7>don't because we don't have the guns. I mean, I

964
00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:44.960
<v Speaker 7>think the criminals. If people I want to do they

965
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:47.320
<v Speaker 7>probably get them, but by and large they that's I

966
00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:50.079
<v Speaker 7>think all of that's a specific problem to America. When

967
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:53.239
<v Speaker 7>I saw the picture of Tyler Robinson and the court

968
00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:56.320
<v Speaker 7>hearing or whatever it was, and the look on his face,

969
00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:59.159
<v Speaker 7>I thought that this is this is what like a

970
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:03.039
<v Speaker 7>leftists in America, like a white man in America, this

971
00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:06.800
<v Speaker 7>is what he has to do for approval from his

972
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:10.159
<v Speaker 7>peers on the left. What he's saying is that I

973
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:12.199
<v Speaker 7>can give you a degree. I mean, I don't know

974
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:17.199
<v Speaker 7>anything about guns, but I can imagine he's singing one

975
00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:22.280
<v Speaker 7>of it's in my skill set to be a pull off,

976
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.159
<v Speaker 7>a shot like that, and you know, this is what

977
00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:26.480
<v Speaker 7>I can bring to the table.

978
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Love me, love me, you know.

979
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:31.400
<v Speaker 7>And I thought, this is this is just completely twisted.

980
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:33.840
<v Speaker 7>This is this that my view on it was, this

981
00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:36.360
<v Speaker 7>is how what you have to do to be a

982
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:41.119
<v Speaker 7>white man and get social approval on the left. In Britain,

983
00:58:41.199 --> 00:58:46.679
<v Speaker 7>it's it's a bit different. All this summer the violence

984
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:49.480
<v Speaker 7>that the concerns the government, because I know they don't

985
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.599
<v Speaker 7>seem to be very concerned about the daily sort of atrocity.

986
00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:56.760
<v Speaker 7>But all summer there was this worry that we were

987
00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:59.960
<v Speaker 7>going to have riots, and that would be the need

988
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:05.719
<v Speaker 7>of men against against the rapes, against the endless sort

989
00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:12.480
<v Speaker 7>of just misery, but particularly against these hotels and these asylums.

990
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:12.880
<v Speaker 2>He guys.

991
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:17.079
<v Speaker 7>And it was strange going into the summer when these

992
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:20.360
<v Speaker 7>things tend to happen. And I wrote an article on

993
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:23.599
<v Speaker 7>substack they called it the Summer of Kindling, and all

994
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:27.320
<v Speaker 7>the newspapers and everybody, everybody was on tender hooks, and

995
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:32.400
<v Speaker 7>there was this sense that if some sort of atrocity happens,

996
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:35.199
<v Speaker 7>I mean, they did happen, but if one like in

997
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:40.480
<v Speaker 7>Southport last year, really catches on, really, then we've got major,

998
00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:44.760
<v Speaker 7>major problems. And I think this goes back to the

999
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:48.880
<v Speaker 7>government recognizing that at the end of the day, we

1000
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:53.000
<v Speaker 7>do have a country. We can't just sort of presade

1001
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:57.840
<v Speaker 7>over this anarchy because our own sort of legitimacy, our

1002
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:02.719
<v Speaker 7>own position long term is being eroded by this. I mean,

1003
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:05.519
<v Speaker 7>the latest thing that's going on is that they're they're

1004
01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:09.039
<v Speaker 7>banging the war drums for Russia. The nation has to

1005
01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:13.079
<v Speaker 7>prepare its sons and daughters for war with Russia. And

1006
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:16.280
<v Speaker 7>I'm not even I'm not even like a Russia symp

1007
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:19.280
<v Speaker 7>I get accused of it, but I'm perfectly fine that.

1008
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:25.840
<v Speaker 7>I'm fine if if I think NATO, if we've got NATO,

1009
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:29.119
<v Speaker 7>if a country in NATO is attacked, then it deserves

1010
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:31.000
<v Speaker 7>a joint response, fair enough.

1011
01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Like that's about it.

1012
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:35.280
<v Speaker 7>I'm kind of boring and normally in in that regard,

1013
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:39.199
<v Speaker 7>but that isn't really what we're getting. We're getting as

1014
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:41.719
<v Speaker 7>if there's going to be this, an attack is imminent,

1015
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.480
<v Speaker 7>And I asked, well, where's the troop build up, where's this,

1016
01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:48.880
<v Speaker 7>Where's this going to happen? And I'm never given any answers.

1017
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:54.760
<v Speaker 7>But the flip side of that, of course, is that

1018
01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:59.840
<v Speaker 7>now you're asking the demographic which has been made per

1019
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:03.960
<v Speaker 7>eye as the exact demographic you need to go and

1020
01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:09.239
<v Speaker 7>fight these wars are working class white lads from Teeside

1021
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:13.400
<v Speaker 7>and Sunderland and Middlesbrough and these these areas which have

1022
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:16.840
<v Speaker 7>just been left to rot. And you see the sentiment

1023
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:20.199
<v Speaker 7>of no, we're not going to do it anymore. And

1024
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:24.320
<v Speaker 7>I did a little sort of grock Google thing, and

1025
01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:26.880
<v Speaker 7>I was asking it, like, what what are the what

1026
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:31.679
<v Speaker 7>what instances and history have there been where a population

1027
01:01:31.920 --> 01:01:36.760
<v Speaker 7>was so demoralized by its its rulers that they just

1028
01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:40.119
<v Speaker 7>flatly refused to war on their behalf any more. And

1029
01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:42.519
<v Speaker 7>one of the one of the results that came up

1030
01:01:43.280 --> 01:01:50.039
<v Speaker 7>was caligular caligulars caligular plan and invasion of the British

1031
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:54.199
<v Speaker 7>Isles and as armies just refused because you're insane, you're

1032
01:01:54.239 --> 01:01:56.840
<v Speaker 7>a lunatic, and we're done with it. And I think,

1033
01:01:57.360 --> 01:02:00.800
<v Speaker 7>I just thought, is this whether British state is now

1034
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:06.079
<v Speaker 7>where the historical comparisons are like Caligula And one of

1035
01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:08.119
<v Speaker 7>the other ones is like Russian the under the Zah

1036
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:11.400
<v Speaker 7>and Russian and things, But the one of like where

1037
01:02:11.760 --> 01:02:15.239
<v Speaker 7>you've got the British states, the Kisama and the British

1038
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:20.360
<v Speaker 7>government is now comparable to Caligula in how demoralized and

1039
01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:26.199
<v Speaker 7>kind of incensed people that it's it says it all,

1040
01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:27.679
<v Speaker 7>It really says all.

1041
01:02:29.119 --> 01:02:33.400
<v Speaker 6>No, one hundred percent. I think that his faded drug,

1042
01:02:33.719 --> 01:02:37.280
<v Speaker 6>you said, Marta Valila, I couldn't shoul their father's staffer

1043
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:38.199
<v Speaker 6>to two to month.

1044
01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>His fader Lrene thrugy two will you rudder organ will

1045
01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>blow along?

1046
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:51.280
<v Speaker 6>When you knowed the two boat couldn't rusta conto Marvine

1047
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:55.719
<v Speaker 6>twig to month passionary Augustini.

1048
01:02:56.840 --> 01:02:57.119
<v Speaker 11>Not to.

1049
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:02.519
<v Speaker 2>To a court at Rsa pon kai.

1050
01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:08.880
<v Speaker 9>Another square story from Toblerone, work Christmas do time for

1051
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.199
<v Speaker 9>the gifts you got your boss, Tina bath bombs shaped

1052
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:15.719
<v Speaker 9>like mince pies, but added tobler own diamond truffles just

1053
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:20.679
<v Speaker 9>in case she unwraps the bath bombs silence. Then the

1054
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:25.639
<v Speaker 9>Toblerone truffles, velvety diamond shaped chocolates with a crunchy new

1055
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:29.960
<v Speaker 9>golf filling. Oh big smiles from Tina. Whatever you gift,

1056
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:33.679
<v Speaker 9>added diamonds just in case. Tobalone never square.

1057
01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:39.719
<v Speaker 6>That's what's so, I guess worrisome about these kind of

1058
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:43.719
<v Speaker 6>you know, calls for foreign adventure. We're kind of spinning

1059
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.320
<v Speaker 6>up for one with Venezuela, and you know, hopefully that

1060
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:50.400
<v Speaker 6>will be much less of a cluster then you know

1061
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:53.599
<v Speaker 6>what happened in Afghanistan. But you know, I wonder if

1062
01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:56.519
<v Speaker 6>that is the danger of you know, a Nigel Faraja

1063
01:03:56.840 --> 01:03:59.599
<v Speaker 6>esque figure, right, someone who makes the average man feels

1064
01:03:59.639 --> 01:04:02.920
<v Speaker 6>if his complaints are being heard and just in time

1065
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:05.679
<v Speaker 6>for you know, a big war. You know this is

1066
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:08.079
<v Speaker 6>you know what you see from from you know, guys

1067
01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:10.960
<v Speaker 6>like aa we're talking about, you know, the desire to

1068
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:13.480
<v Speaker 6>get white boys to die in foreign wars. Right, that

1069
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:16.159
<v Speaker 6>is the reason that you know, certain social attitudes are

1070
01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:18.840
<v Speaker 6>being relaxed. And you know, you're you're starting to see

1071
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:21.039
<v Speaker 6>as we you know, have noticed in both your country

1072
01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:24.239
<v Speaker 6>and mind uh you know, military ads featuring white guys again,

1073
01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:26.480
<v Speaker 6>you start to get a little nervous. You're like, okay,

1074
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:29.159
<v Speaker 6>like why why are you letting up? Why are you

1075
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:31.639
<v Speaker 6>doing something obviously that hasn't happened in your country, But

1076
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:33.760
<v Speaker 6>you know the fact that you know, Farage may be

1077
01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:37.159
<v Speaker 6>making a good run of it, who knows, but I think.

1078
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:43.599
<v Speaker 7>We are getting those military adds. We were specifically targeting

1079
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:46.920
<v Speaker 7>people like me, people like people from the north, are

1080
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:51.840
<v Speaker 7>the industrialized North in particular, which is what traditionally the

1081
01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:54.159
<v Speaker 7>pool that we've It's kind of like the north of

1082
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:58.000
<v Speaker 7>England is a bit like the American South o semiogogue.

1083
01:04:58.400 --> 01:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It is there is something too that.

1084
01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:02.880
<v Speaker 6>All right, it's the same, it's the same genetics, let's

1085
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:05.800
<v Speaker 6>be honest, right, Yeah, Like this is sort of a

1086
01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:09.599
<v Speaker 6>funny thing. But you know, our are Scots Irish, you know,

1087
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:12.880
<v Speaker 6>which is you know, a combination of you know, Orderers

1088
01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:14.880
<v Speaker 6>and you know a little bit of Irish mixed in.

1089
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:18.760
<v Speaker 6>Have basically fought every American war in history. We were

1090
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:21.679
<v Speaker 6>The whole reason they're ain't even in the South is

1091
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:24.519
<v Speaker 6>that Quakers were getting killed by Indians, and so they

1092
01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:27.360
<v Speaker 6>sort of cast about and said, well, you know who

1093
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.239
<v Speaker 6>can fight, we will not, And it's who they selected.

1094
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:34.000
<v Speaker 6>And it is one of those things where it's what

1095
01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:37.360
<v Speaker 6>I worry about more in in my country than yours,

1096
01:05:37.639 --> 01:05:40.280
<v Speaker 6>is that I almost wonder if you know here where

1097
01:05:40.320 --> 01:05:43.760
<v Speaker 6>we're you know, in this in the second Trump era,

1098
01:05:44.280 --> 01:05:46.400
<v Speaker 6>you know, where the right is seen to be sort

1099
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:50.119
<v Speaker 6>of culturally ascended, you see a lot more buy in

1100
01:05:50.519 --> 01:05:53.119
<v Speaker 6>right because it feels like your country again. But in

1101
01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:56.280
<v Speaker 6>your case, I don't understan that seems like too much whiplash,

1102
01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:59.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, to go from very quickly. You know, you

1103
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:03.119
<v Speaker 6>can't tweet about anything. You know, everyone is British. You

1104
01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:06.199
<v Speaker 6>know the Irish were actually black, which you know, if

1105
01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:08.000
<v Speaker 6>you're a Ben Franklin guy, I guess you could make

1106
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:13.400
<v Speaker 6>the argument for but how do you this is an

1107
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:15.400
<v Speaker 6>open question. I do not know the answer. How do

1108
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:19.159
<v Speaker 6>you so quickly tone shift on that? Because I can't

1109
01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:21.239
<v Speaker 6>see how you can convince people to sign up for

1110
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:24.400
<v Speaker 6>a state that you know so recently hated them and

1111
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:26.880
<v Speaker 6>still does you can't.

1112
01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:31.440
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's one of the somebody sort of one

1113
01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:33.840
<v Speaker 7>thing that I saw was that they would weigh like

1114
01:06:34.159 --> 01:06:36.599
<v Speaker 7>four thousand pounds a month in their faces, which you

1115
01:06:36.719 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 7>may get a bit of an up particle of that

1116
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:42.280
<v Speaker 7>until the shooting starts, until the dying starts, and then

1117
01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:44.840
<v Speaker 7>that won't be enough anymore. But it goes back to

1118
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:49.440
<v Speaker 7>what I was saying at the start, that you know,

1119
01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:52.960
<v Speaker 7>it gets to a point where the kind of the

1120
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:57.320
<v Speaker 7>problems that could arise when when I began talking about

1121
01:06:57.360 --> 01:07:00.440
<v Speaker 7>this so long ago, for most people, it was just

1122
01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:04.079
<v Speaker 7>something purely abstract. But now it's there. It's there now

1123
01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:06.519
<v Speaker 7>in the real world. They're they're rubbing shoulders with it

1124
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:10.159
<v Speaker 7>in the real world, and this is so now it's

1125
01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:13.320
<v Speaker 7>like really there. It's it's in their face. It's in

1126
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.480
<v Speaker 7>their face every time they go to the shopping center,

1127
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.199
<v Speaker 7>it's it's when they go to work, but it's it's

1128
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:23.119
<v Speaker 7>everywhere now, And so there's a sense that you know,

1129
01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:27.840
<v Speaker 7>the rabbits has bolted, and then they're looking around and thinking, well,

1130
01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:30.920
<v Speaker 7>this this they kind of have asked for this, and

1131
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:34.639
<v Speaker 7>you get into this kind of like why is this happening?

1132
01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:37.039
<v Speaker 7>Why do I feel like a stranger and your own homeland?

1133
01:07:37.639 --> 01:07:40.719
<v Speaker 7>And so you're going to have to have some really

1134
01:07:40.840 --> 01:07:45.199
<v Speaker 7>drastic policies to undo that. And this is why it's

1135
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:48.679
<v Speaker 7>it's I realized it's an unpopular opinion, but it's it's

1136
01:07:49.679 --> 01:07:55.039
<v Speaker 7>quite shocking, how like how far to the right labor

1137
01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:58.079
<v Speaker 7>are willing to lurch on some of these things. One

1138
01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:00.760
<v Speaker 7>of the things that was mentioned last week, which I

1139
01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:03.719
<v Speaker 7>think is this is one of the things they mentioned

1140
01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:06.400
<v Speaker 7>was the asylum seekers who were coming in, We're going

1141
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:08.480
<v Speaker 7>to have all of their money and jewelry taking off

1142
01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:11.039
<v Speaker 7>them to pay for their So so you get this,

1143
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:13.239
<v Speaker 7>you get this, and it's like, I don't I don't

1144
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:16.039
<v Speaker 7>want to rob the illegal immigrants. I just don't want

1145
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:18.159
<v Speaker 7>them in the country, Like I don't want to do

1146
01:08:18.279 --> 01:08:18.920
<v Speaker 7>this performance.

1147
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:20.119
<v Speaker 6>There's a simpler solution.

1148
01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:23.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't want to I don't want to rob them,

1149
01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:25.239
<v Speaker 7>I don't want to mug them when they step off

1150
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:27.560
<v Speaker 7>the board. I just want the board turned around and

1151
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:30.439
<v Speaker 7>they can step back. I don't want this kind of

1152
01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:33.960
<v Speaker 7>performance of cruelty that they that's miss under. But you

1153
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:36.680
<v Speaker 7>can see what where they're what they're trying.

1154
01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:37.399
<v Speaker 2>To go for there.

1155
01:08:37.960 --> 01:08:41.319
<v Speaker 7>And another thing is the numbers coming down and down

1156
01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:46.079
<v Speaker 7>and down, which they are. It's too late, it's the

1157
01:08:46.439 --> 01:08:47.560
<v Speaker 7>damage is done now.

1158
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>And so in terms of I.

1159
01:08:50.560 --> 01:08:52.800
<v Speaker 7>Mean, I do think this is part of the reason

1160
01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:56.720
<v Speaker 7>why the American government is blast, putting European countries on

1161
01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:00.239
<v Speaker 7>blast for being too woke and do you know you

1162
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:02.760
<v Speaker 7>don't have freedom of speech and all of that. I

1163
01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:05.920
<v Speaker 7>think they actually genuinely worry that this is this is

1164
01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:14.560
<v Speaker 7>compromising the empire itself, where the core the basics now

1165
01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:17.960
<v Speaker 7>are beginning to unravel. If you want to have if

1166
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:21.479
<v Speaker 7>you want to have this sort of American empire, then

1167
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:25.279
<v Speaker 7>you've got this sort of major chunk of it in Europe,

1168
01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:28.399
<v Speaker 7>and with Britain as always being America as.

1169
01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Point man, in Europe begin to look quite unhinged.

1170
01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:38.399
<v Speaker 7>And you can think, even purely sort of from cymically, yeah, okay,

1171
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:42.399
<v Speaker 7>it's it's walk, it's lefty. They know they don't have

1172
01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:48.199
<v Speaker 7>free speech, but is does that actually create war fighting potential?

1173
01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:51.199
<v Speaker 7>What happens if they go so far on this that

1174
01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:56.600
<v Speaker 7>it becomes compromises the entire kind of structure of the

1175
01:09:56.640 --> 01:09:59.840
<v Speaker 7>American Empire. And that's why I think that's something to that.

1176
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:04.319
<v Speaker 7>But as you are saying, even within America, they're not

1177
01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:06.680
<v Speaker 7>doing that much to change it. It's just I think

1178
01:10:07.399 --> 01:10:10.079
<v Speaker 7>there's so much space. Maybe maybe not everybody. It's not

1179
01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:13.600
<v Speaker 7>in their face as it is in European countries like

1180
01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:18.399
<v Speaker 7>England in particular, is pretty bad at the moment, and

1181
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:22.640
<v Speaker 7>it hasn't created the conditions where lots of men want

1182
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:28.119
<v Speaker 7>to go off and fight like Russia. Because fundamentally it's

1183
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:33.159
<v Speaker 7>a trite point to make. That like what everybody will make.

1184
01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:36.439
<v Speaker 7>But it is true that whether they like it or not,

1185
01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:39.960
<v Speaker 7>more people see Kyo storm On the Labor Party as

1186
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:43.119
<v Speaker 7>their enemy than they do Vladimir Putin and Russia. And

1187
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:45.720
<v Speaker 7>that's just that's just the reality of it.

1188
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:50.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, especially when you know, if if the argument you know,

1189
01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:53.800
<v Speaker 6>is made in sort of you know, blood and soil terms, right,

1190
01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:56.960
<v Speaker 6>the idea that you like defend the homeland, it's like, well, one,

1191
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:00.720
<v Speaker 6>you haven't done that, you know, they are foreigners. And

1192
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:03.600
<v Speaker 6>also it's not as if you know Russia's you know,

1193
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:06.520
<v Speaker 6>dumping boats into the English Channel. You know they're they're

1194
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:09.640
<v Speaker 6>dropping bombs over London. You know it's for again this

1195
01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:13.399
<v Speaker 6>kind of you know, outer or outpost of someone else's empire.

1196
01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:17.520
<v Speaker 6>But why would anyone get involved, you know, particularly when

1197
01:11:17.560 --> 01:11:20.600
<v Speaker 6>they're very clean or very clearly being sold out at home?

1198
01:11:21.560 --> 01:11:25.000
<v Speaker 6>I think one of the other open questions. Uh, and

1199
01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:27.680
<v Speaker 6>this is you know, sort of different on opposite ends

1200
01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:31.079
<v Speaker 6>of the Atlantic. But there is a financial element to

1201
01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:33.840
<v Speaker 6>this as well, right, like how long can you keep

1202
01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:38.479
<v Speaker 6>paying for all of this because and you know it's

1203
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:42.199
<v Speaker 6>slightly different here because you know, the empire that controls

1204
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:43.680
<v Speaker 6>most of the world's, right, you get to sort of

1205
01:11:43.760 --> 01:11:47.199
<v Speaker 6>violate the rules. But and I realized, you know, you're

1206
01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:49.840
<v Speaker 6>not a you don't cover finance, and I be honest,

1207
01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.399
<v Speaker 6>don't know anything about it either. But the signs you're

1208
01:11:52.399 --> 01:11:54.760
<v Speaker 6>seeing are sort of worrying. You know, you have this

1209
01:11:54.960 --> 01:11:57.279
<v Speaker 6>this giant, you know, argument about the budget, right that

1210
01:11:57.720 --> 01:12:01.359
<v Speaker 6>a massive hole suddenly discovered. You know, it's just missing,

1211
01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:04.359
<v Speaker 6>you know, the problems with the government securing debt. And

1212
01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:07.199
<v Speaker 6>it's like, well, okay, how does the system of paying

1213
01:12:07.239 --> 01:12:11.560
<v Speaker 6>people off work when you can't make the payments, you know,

1214
01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:14.399
<v Speaker 6>when it suddenly you have to make difficult decisions. And

1215
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:18.119
<v Speaker 6>it seems as if this is just a question that

1216
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:21.119
<v Speaker 6>is not being answered at all. And again, look, I

1217
01:12:21.199 --> 01:12:23.600
<v Speaker 6>realize people have been predicting the collapse of the global

1218
01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:26.000
<v Speaker 6>financial market for longer that I've been alive. I'm not,

1219
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:30.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, saying that's what's gonna happen. But again, what

1220
01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:35.399
<v Speaker 6>do you do when you face a genuine crisis? I

1221
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:38.279
<v Speaker 6>don't know. These people don't seem to be acting seriously

1222
01:12:38.319 --> 01:12:38.640
<v Speaker 6>about it.

1223
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:44.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and it just keeps limping on, and it may

1224
01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:46.600
<v Speaker 7>we need we end up be facing like some giant crush,

1225
01:12:46.680 --> 01:12:51.199
<v Speaker 7>but we are facing this kind of steady. There's a

1226
01:12:51.279 --> 01:12:55.399
<v Speaker 7>word like and shittification. In this case, everything is getting

1227
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:58.720
<v Speaker 7>I noticed there's these biscuits. I don't know if you

1228
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.119
<v Speaker 7>have them in America, but we call them penguin biscuits,

1229
01:13:01.199 --> 01:13:06.199
<v Speaker 7>these little chocolate biscuits, and they're basically just a little

1230
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:08.600
<v Speaker 7>chocolate biscuit that you have with like a cup of tea.

1231
01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:15.079
<v Speaker 7>And they've changed it now because chocolate has become really expensive.

1232
01:13:15.159 --> 01:13:17.479
<v Speaker 7>For apparently they get coca beans.

1254
01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:15.239
<v Speaker 7>whatever reason, it's becoming extremely expensive, and so they changed

1255
01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:20.279
<v Speaker 7>it so that now it's chocolate flavored or chocolate or

1256
01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:26.159
<v Speaker 7>the chocolate compound chocolate tasting compound is now what this

1257
01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:30.800
<v Speaker 7>is the kind of played a sort of fait every

1258
01:14:31.039 --> 01:14:34.760
<v Speaker 7>everything's fake, so you know, you'll you'll sit in the

1259
01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:39.840
<v Speaker 7>in the UK with the daily atrocity and you're not

1260
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:43.640
<v Speaker 7>even eating real chocolate anymore. It's like chocolate tasting compound.

1261
01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:47.039
<v Speaker 7>But it's just enough to get through the regulations and

1262
01:14:47.079 --> 01:14:50.439
<v Speaker 7>all of this kind of thing, and yeah, it's it's all.

1263
01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:55.439
<v Speaker 7>It's all just sort of squaliz. I wish I could,

1264
01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:59.359
<v Speaker 7>I wish I wasn't such a duma, but I do.

1265
01:14:59.520 --> 01:14:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I do.

1266
01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:04.600
<v Speaker 7>One of the things, you know, is one of the

1267
01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:07.760
<v Speaker 7>reasons why I focus on this stuff is because it's real.

1268
01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:11.399
<v Speaker 7>And when I look at like social media and I

1269
01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:15.560
<v Speaker 7>look at sort of the sort of Candice Owns versus

1270
01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:21.600
<v Speaker 7>Tim Poole, versus Nick Fans versus Carlson who killed Charlie,

1271
01:15:22.079 --> 01:15:26.359
<v Speaker 7>this this whole kind of You've basically got all these

1272
01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:29.680
<v Speaker 7>millionaires like ship talking each other and everybody is like

1273
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:33.680
<v Speaker 7>clapping it along, and that there's something there's this kind

1274
01:15:33.720 --> 01:15:40.000
<v Speaker 7>of hard realism about life in the UK, which I

1275
01:15:40.119 --> 01:15:43.720
<v Speaker 7>find is grounding. I find it kind of keeps you

1276
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:47.399
<v Speaker 7>keeps your feet on the on the ground it's it's

1277
01:15:47.479 --> 01:15:51.119
<v Speaker 7>not really a part of the discourse of the online right.

1278
01:15:51.159 --> 01:15:54.039
<v Speaker 7>I mean the little touches where you're not even in

1279
01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:59.760
<v Speaker 7>real chocolate anymore, and and and the streets where it's

1280
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:03.399
<v Speaker 7>like Afghan immigrants and what they call them roadman and

1281
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:05.840
<v Speaker 7>all of this that there's a there's a kind of

1282
01:16:06.439 --> 01:16:12.119
<v Speaker 7>hardness and glottliness to it, which I feel is real.

1283
01:16:12.479 --> 01:16:16.840
<v Speaker 7>I'm not part of this hype, a real Internet sort

1284
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:19.159
<v Speaker 7>of garbage, to be honest.

1285
01:16:20.640 --> 01:16:23.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, and this is something that they call it like

1286
01:16:24.039 --> 01:16:28.479
<v Speaker 6>the affordability crisis here where, And I think this is

1287
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:32.319
<v Speaker 6>a much bigger problem, especially for sort of the narrative

1288
01:16:32.680 --> 01:16:35.880
<v Speaker 6>of America and also for the kind of Whig history

1289
01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:38.920
<v Speaker 6>we see across the progressive world, which is at a

1290
01:16:39.000 --> 01:16:42.319
<v Speaker 6>certain point it becomes painfully obvious that things are getting worse,

1291
01:16:42.920 --> 01:16:46.600
<v Speaker 6>that the system is is fumbling. And you know, I

1292
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.840
<v Speaker 6>think about conversations I've had with my my grandfather, who's

1293
01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:53.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, he worked his entire life in the trades,

1294
01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:58.520
<v Speaker 6>and he's a body man, right, repairing cars, And you know,

1295
01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:02.359
<v Speaker 6>he got out of the military. He was a homeless orphan.

1296
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:05.119
<v Speaker 6>He was not a wealthy man by any means. You know,

1297
01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:07.760
<v Speaker 6>worked in a McDonald's. You ended up in the trades.

1298
01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:13.159
<v Speaker 6>And the whole time you know, his he supported his

1299
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:16.800
<v Speaker 6>children is you know, they lived in homes that they owned,

1300
01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:21.000
<v Speaker 6>you know, palaces by any means, but still property, and

1301
01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:24.439
<v Speaker 6>were able to buy new cars. You know, it was

1302
01:17:24.520 --> 01:17:27.479
<v Speaker 6>just seen as kind of expected for someone in the

1303
01:17:27.640 --> 01:17:31.479
<v Speaker 6>you know, the broad working class even and you know,

1304
01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:33.720
<v Speaker 6>now every one of those things has become a luxury

1305
01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:38.319
<v Speaker 6>to the point where you know, housing is ludicrously expensive.

1306
01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:42.239
<v Speaker 6>Groceries have become incredibly expensive, as you mentioned, you know,

1307
01:17:42.279 --> 01:17:44.279
<v Speaker 6>they're more and more of these sort of ersatz products.

1308
01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:47.920
<v Speaker 6>And I mean, look, I'm not going to complain about it,

1309
01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:53.680
<v Speaker 6>but I've never owned a car that came out after

1310
01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:56.640
<v Speaker 6>I got my driver's license, right at any point, even

1311
01:17:56.680 --> 01:17:58.760
<v Speaker 6>to this day, I drive a vehicle that's twenty years old,

1312
01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:03.199
<v Speaker 6>and that's just seen as as normal for people who

1313
01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:08.239
<v Speaker 6>are middle class. Effectively, the whole society is downwardly mobile.

1314
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:12.399
<v Speaker 6>Everyone is getting poorer, and you know, look, it's one

1315
01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:14.920
<v Speaker 6>thing if that's just hard times right there. This has

1316
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:19.159
<v Speaker 6>happened before. Nations go through these periods, you know, but

1317
01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:22.640
<v Speaker 6>when you're being told, you know, know, everything is getting better,

1318
01:18:22.720 --> 01:18:25.000
<v Speaker 6>everything has to get better because the past was evil

1319
01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:27.319
<v Speaker 6>and horrible and racist, and now you know, in this

1320
01:18:27.560 --> 01:18:30.760
<v Speaker 6>new world, right, this new liberated existence, isn't it grand?

1321
01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:33.680
<v Speaker 6>And you look around and you're like, well, for who,

1322
01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:36.479
<v Speaker 6>right do I live in a country that's just a

1323
01:18:36.600 --> 01:18:40.640
<v Speaker 6>retirement home, you know, designed to ensure that, you know,

1324
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:44.039
<v Speaker 6>a certain generation is you know, maximally comfortable. And then

1325
01:18:44.079 --> 01:18:45.560
<v Speaker 6>they're they're imported servants?

1326
01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:45.920
<v Speaker 7>Right?

1327
01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:46.159
<v Speaker 3>Is that?

1328
01:18:46.399 --> 01:18:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Is that what we have here?

1329
01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:51.520
<v Speaker 6>And so it's again like this is another aspect of

1330
01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:54.199
<v Speaker 6>that legitimacy crisis, like what are we doing here? What

1331
01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:54.920
<v Speaker 6>is the point of this?

1332
01:18:56.039 --> 01:18:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know? It is?

1333
01:18:57.760 --> 01:18:58.279
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, what's that?

1334
01:18:58.920 --> 01:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Well?

1335
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:04.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean And this gets to something which because

1336
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:05.920
<v Speaker 7>nobody wants to hear it.

1337
01:19:08.479 --> 01:19:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Part one.

1338
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.199
<v Speaker 7>To take Boris Johnson for example, The reason that he

1339
01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:15.800
<v Speaker 7>flooded the place with millions of people within just a

1340
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:19.199
<v Speaker 7>couple of years for the Borrows Wave was that after COVID,

1341
01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:22.760
<v Speaker 7>they needed all of these bodies. The Bank of England

1342
01:19:22.920 --> 01:19:25.960
<v Speaker 7>I think it was just basically just demanded that he

1343
01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:28.920
<v Speaker 7>flood the place, take off, take off the breaks, take

1344
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:31.960
<v Speaker 7>off all the safeguards and just flood the place for

1345
01:19:32.119 --> 01:19:35.279
<v Speaker 7>financial reasons to soak up the money so we didn't

1346
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:38.279
<v Speaker 7>get hype oer inflation and to get people working and

1347
01:19:38.359 --> 01:19:41.479
<v Speaker 7>all of this kind of thing. And now the justification

1348
01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:46.720
<v Speaker 7>which we hear increasingly now there's an article in The

1349
01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:50.279
<v Speaker 7>Guardian this week that everybody was talking about is basically,

1350
01:19:50.399 --> 01:19:53.640
<v Speaker 7>there's there's the birth rate is too low and you

1351
01:19:53.840 --> 01:19:58.600
<v Speaker 7>need to sort of you need bodies, you need these

1352
01:19:58.960 --> 01:20:02.880
<v Speaker 7>endless bodies coming in to keep this thing chugging along.

1353
01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:07.800
<v Speaker 7>And I know and I know that many people on

1354
01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:11.920
<v Speaker 7>the right look for ways to sort of brush that aside,

1355
01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:15.359
<v Speaker 7>and I think it's that it's a nettle that should

1356
01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:20.840
<v Speaker 7>be grabbed and you should just accept that. Yeah, we're

1357
01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:23.600
<v Speaker 7>gonna we still we will just have to do it,

1358
01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:27.840
<v Speaker 7>like we will just have to watch things collapse. We

1359
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:31.479
<v Speaker 7>will just have to go downwards in our quality of

1360
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:35.520
<v Speaker 7>life because as it is now, that's gonna happen anyway,

1361
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:39.159
<v Speaker 7>just it'll take longer, but when it does actually happen,

1362
01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:42.479
<v Speaker 7>we're going to be like total minorities in our own country.

1363
01:20:42.920 --> 01:20:47.600
<v Speaker 7>And I'm I've actually sort of fought this through towards

1364
01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:52.800
<v Speaker 7>logical conclusion that for example, you're gonna have to deal

1365
01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:53.680
<v Speaker 7>with the fact that there.

1366
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Will be two few children and too many old.

1367
01:20:56.800 --> 01:21:00.000
<v Speaker 7>People, and that's just the way it's going to be,

1368
01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:02.720
<v Speaker 7>and it's going to be tough. But if we've still

1369
01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:05.159
<v Speaker 7>got our own country, and we've still got our own

1370
01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:07.279
<v Speaker 7>people and a sense of where we are in the world,

1371
01:21:08.039 --> 01:21:12.199
<v Speaker 7>it could be choked up as another kind of hard

1372
01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:16.000
<v Speaker 7>time that let's say the English went through. So we've

1373
01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:19.640
<v Speaker 7>been through hard times before and we're going through another

1374
01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:23.680
<v Speaker 7>one again. If you've got like a circular view of history,

1375
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:27.439
<v Speaker 7>which I tend to, then you kind of you know

1376
01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:31.079
<v Speaker 7>that winter is coming, and if you can just be

1377
01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:34.359
<v Speaker 7>honest about where you are on the cycle, you can

1378
01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:36.880
<v Speaker 7>hunker down and you can get ready for it. Now

1379
01:21:37.319 --> 01:21:40.000
<v Speaker 7>a strange but what that will mean will be telling

1380
01:21:40.079 --> 01:21:43.000
<v Speaker 7>the markets and telling the bankers to go to hell.

1381
01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:46.520
<v Speaker 7>And in a geopolitical sense, it's gonna be a little

1382
01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:49.039
<v Speaker 7>bit like if you're in a playing strategy game, it

1383
01:21:49.039 --> 01:21:51.600
<v Speaker 7>would be like turtling. You're just gonna kind of take

1384
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:54.279
<v Speaker 7>some time out from world history because you're not in

1385
01:21:54.399 --> 01:21:57.039
<v Speaker 7>a good state right now. You're going to defend your borders,

1386
01:21:57.399 --> 01:22:01.560
<v Speaker 7>You're gonna have minimal You're going to be like actually

1387
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:04.439
<v Speaker 7>so many other countries around the world, to just mind

1388
01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:07.279
<v Speaker 7>their own business we did. You know, it's a particular

1389
01:22:07.439 --> 01:22:11.000
<v Speaker 7>Western and are definitely a particularly English mindset.

1390
01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:14.239
<v Speaker 2>You see it even now, even now, at.

1391
01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:17.720
<v Speaker 7>This stage, we're warmongering and pretend to be a great power.

1392
01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:21.920
<v Speaker 7>And if we could just say, look, time out, time out,

1393
01:22:22.239 --> 01:22:25.399
<v Speaker 7>we need one hundred years of getting We need to

1394
01:22:25.760 --> 01:22:28.600
<v Speaker 7>deport all the foreigners, and we need to get a

1395
01:22:28.680 --> 01:22:31.640
<v Speaker 7>house and order because we're dying here and we need

1396
01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:36.000
<v Speaker 7>to go on the defensive now very quickly, you would

1397
01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:41.159
<v Speaker 7>have curious things happening in that Materially things would go

1398
01:22:41.359 --> 01:22:45.960
<v Speaker 7>downhill quite a lot, but other things will happen where

1399
01:22:46.239 --> 01:22:48.680
<v Speaker 7>everybody would be able to have a house, so there

1400
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:51.720
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't be a housing shortage. You would free up all

1401
01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:55.920
<v Speaker 7>of these properties and you would have you know, when

1402
01:22:56.079 --> 01:22:59.159
<v Speaker 7>when you when you we got through the plague, for example,

1403
01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:02.800
<v Speaker 7>you got this booon to after the plague, it was horrible,

1404
01:23:02.880 --> 01:23:05.039
<v Speaker 7>the worst thing we've ever been through. And afterwards it

1405
01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:08.560
<v Speaker 7>was this boon time. And slowly but surely you can

1406
01:23:08.680 --> 01:23:12.479
<v Speaker 7>breathe yourself back to life, and you can heal the scars,

1407
01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:17.479
<v Speaker 7>and we can eat potatoes and onions and it's not

1408
01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:20.600
<v Speaker 7>going to be nice. But the problem is this is

1409
01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:23.359
<v Speaker 7>not what anybody wants to hear this is this is

1410
01:23:23.479 --> 01:23:26.520
<v Speaker 7>just not and this is this is this is the tragedy.

1411
01:23:26.600 --> 01:23:29.159
<v Speaker 7>This is the great tragedy of it all. The solution

1412
01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:33.199
<v Speaker 7>of this is to just take some time out and

1413
01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:35.399
<v Speaker 7>be ourselves for a long time.

1414
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But it's not. It's this kind of drive and of madness.

1415
01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:43.119
<v Speaker 6>Right, And that's that you're the thing that I mentioned right,

1416
01:23:43.199 --> 01:23:45.640
<v Speaker 6>that that wig history right, things are always getting better

1417
01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:49.960
<v Speaker 6>all the time, and that's almost like this sacred myth

1418
01:23:50.119 --> 01:23:52.960
<v Speaker 6>that needs to be preserved no matter what. And so

1419
01:23:53.079 --> 01:23:55.560
<v Speaker 6>certainly on the narrative level, but also on the economic level,

1420
01:23:55.560 --> 01:23:58.199
<v Speaker 6>it's like, whatever we need to do so that that

1421
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:02.199
<v Speaker 6>that fiction stays a live right, anything will be sacrificed.

1422
01:24:02.239 --> 01:24:05.479
<v Speaker 6>And I think that your point about, you know, quality

1423
01:24:05.479 --> 01:24:07.760
<v Speaker 6>of living is I agree with that, right. And the

1424
01:24:07.840 --> 01:24:10.119
<v Speaker 6>complaints I'm making are not to say, you know, a

1425
01:24:10.199 --> 01:24:12.920
<v Speaker 6>decline in quality of living is the you know, the

1426
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:16.439
<v Speaker 6>the worst thing that can befall either an individual or

1427
01:24:16.479 --> 01:24:20.159
<v Speaker 6>a nation. But there's a difference, as you've said, when

1428
01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:23.399
<v Speaker 6>you were getting you know, both, when you're getting both

1429
01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:28.119
<v Speaker 6>replacement and the decline, and it's like, well that seems

1430
01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:32.319
<v Speaker 6>to be losing twice right, this, this decline and quality

1431
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:34.880
<v Speaker 6>of living, you know, this decline in you know, international

1432
01:24:34.960 --> 01:24:37.000
<v Speaker 6>prominence seems to be an efft seems to be the

1433
01:24:37.439 --> 01:24:40.920
<v Speaker 6>way of the world. And you can either fight against that,

1434
01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:43.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, tooth and nail and destroy yourself in the process,

1435
01:24:44.399 --> 01:24:46.039
<v Speaker 6>or say, you know what, I would rather live to

1436
01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:51.479
<v Speaker 6>play another game anyway more goth over time. I've got

1437
01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:53.600
<v Speaker 6>another interview after this, and my guest is no doubt

1438
01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:55.720
<v Speaker 6>wondering where I am. But thank you so much, man,

1439
