=== The Left's Migrant Crisis Misunderstanding (06:13) ===

[00:00:00]  Okay, so I've got to get something off my fucking chest because I'm so, I'm just so goddamn sick of the left.
[00:00:06]  I'm...
[00:00:06]  I'm so fucking sick of the left.
[00:00:08]  I am so sick of the way they are these days.
[00:00:11]  And this is not me saying, oh, I'm a right winger now, because no, I'm obviously not a right winger.
[00:00:17]  But good God, the left is just, they're awful.
[00:00:21]  They're just awful in every fucking way.
[00:00:23]  For example, I can't stand how they won't deal honestly with the migrant crisis.
[00:00:28]  I just cannot stand it.
[00:00:31]  I can sit there being as factual as I like to like my left-wing friends on Facebook, and I know that they are too polite to call me a racist, but that's what they're thinking.
[00:00:42]  I can tell by the way they're interacting with me, that they think I am being racist by saying that the migrants have caused like 400,000 crimes in Germany.
[00:00:50]  Not rapes, obviously.
[00:00:52]  You know, that's been like, I don't know, something like 2,000 or something.
[00:00:54]  So actually a surprisingly small number in comparison to the number of crimes committed by such a large number of people.
[00:01:01]  But we're mostly talking things like theft, burglary.
[00:01:03]  You know, maybe muggings and stuff like this.
[00:01:06]  And just, these are real problems that are really affecting people.
[00:01:11]  And they are completely convinced that the only reason that the right wing is gaining ground in Europe is because everyone's a fucking racist.
[00:01:21]  And it's like, look, you must be making these racists then.
[00:01:24]  Because they weren't here before.
[00:01:26]  People weren't voting right wing.
[00:01:28]  They were voting left wing.
[00:01:29]  So all of a sudden all these racists have turned up.
[00:01:31]  I wonder why that is.
[00:01:32]  I mean, maybe they wouldn't be racists if we could at least listen to their complaints.
[00:01:37]  Which honestly, I think seem fairly fucking valid.
[00:01:41]  And if I had to live with these problems, I would probably be thinking, well, shit, if they're not going to listen to my complaints, then why wouldn't I go to the right wing?
[00:01:49]  Where else am I going to fucking go?
[00:01:51]  I just want someone to fucking listen to me.
[00:01:53]  And for the love of God, instead of me being treated as the victim of someone else's crime, for causes I didn't cause, for reasons I didn't cause, and things that's totally beyond my control, but suddenly I'm the one suffering crimes at the hands of migrants.
[00:02:12]  I would be very, very fucking annoyed if someone then turned around and said, look, you're only objecting to the migrants because you're a racist.
[00:02:19]  No, you would obviously be objecting to the migrants because they have committed a crime against you.
[00:02:25]  That's obviously the reason.
[00:02:27]  You don't need to fucking make up a reason.
[00:02:30]  You don't need to pretend like you're a fucking mind reader, which you are not.
[00:02:34]  You do not know why they are doing this.
[00:02:37]  And when they come to you with what is a reasonable and grounded-in-reality cause for them to say, look, I have a problem with these migrants, I mean, literally, Calais, they're blockading roads to stop lorries so they can jump on the lorries and get across and they get fined if they the drivers get fined if that's case I mean, what the fuck are they supposed to do?
[00:03:02]  To be fair, they are racist, aren't they?
[00:03:04]  No, probably not.
[00:03:05]  And if you don't do anything, then they certainly will be.
[00:03:09]  They'll certainly be finding themselves in common cause with the racists as well.
[00:03:13]  This is what's driving me crazy about the left.
[00:03:15]  It's just, look, people always say, oh, you never criticize the right.
[00:03:18]  It's because the right aren't the ones calling the shots.
[00:03:21]  The right aren't the ones fucking all of this up.
[00:03:25]  And there is just no end to it, and I am just, oh my god, I, it's embarrassing to say that I consider myself a left-leaning person.
[00:03:36]  It's genuinely embarrassing.
[00:03:39]  It's just cringy.
[00:03:41]  Absolutely cringy.
[00:03:47]  Get your fucking shit together.
[00:03:50]  Just.
[00:03:53]  And what I love most about it is it really is the soft bigotry of low expectations.
[00:03:57]  oh well, you know, it's their culture, no, that's not my problem.
[00:04:02]  ignorance of the law is not something that exempts you from the law and if they are all saying well this is I mean if that's their culture surely that's something that the majority of them share then.
[00:04:15]  So what you're doing is implicating almost all of them by saying, look, they all think that's the acceptable thing to do.
[00:04:21]  It's just the rest of them, for some reason, haven't done it.
[00:04:23]  I mean, I was at least giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying, look, it's just the ones who have committed the crimes because they are bad people or something.
[00:04:32]  I'm sure their cultures don't permit stealing and all this sort of stuff.
[00:04:35]  But you're the ones saying, well, you know, they don't know any better or something like that.
[00:04:38]  That's fucking awful.
[00:04:40]  And the worst one is, yeah, but what about the ones who haven't done anything?
[00:04:42]  It's like, well, A, you've just said that, well, they're probably likely to because that's the culture.
[00:04:47]  But B, that's a shame.
[00:04:49]  That's a real fucking shame.
[00:04:52]  But I don't think that, say, German schoolgirls should start having to stop, well, stop having to wear skirts and start wearing trousers or whatever it was they were doing.
[00:05:01]  I don't think Swedish girls should have a bracelet that says don't rape me on it because this is just absurd.
[00:05:07]  I mean, this is I'm sorry that some of the migrants might get unfairly tarnished with the brush of, well, watch him because he is a migrant.
[00:05:19]  You know, a little bit of undue suspicion, maybe, because he's not done anything wrong, but it's either that, or the, I mean, you're literally telling people, like the French fucking prime minister, you're going to have to live with this kind of thing.
[00:05:31]  You're just going to have to live with it.
[00:05:33]  You're going to have to live with this heightened risk of being raped and sexually assaulted if you're a woman.
[00:05:37]  You're going to have to live with just the increased level of crime.
[00:05:39]  You're going to have to pay out for all of this as well.
[00:05:41]  Because it's not like these people have got fucking jobs.
[00:05:43]  Most of them are illiterate, apparently.
[00:05:44]  And it's just like, okay.
[00:05:46]  Actually, that's not true.
[00:05:47]  I can't remember how many were illiterate, but it was a large number that were...
[00:05:51]  And it's like, right, okay.
[00:05:52]  So all of this shit's going down.
[00:05:56]  And the left are like, no, we can't talk about any of these problems because that would be racist.

=== The Camel's Back Breaks (03:48) ===

[00:05:59]  And they are so fucking sanctimonious about it.
[00:06:04]  And they literally can't see why people are voting for the right.
[00:06:08]  You're just such fucking idiots.
[00:06:10]  The right have become the counterculture.
[00:06:14]  Even the traditional conservatives are starting to sort of emulate the alt-right in the meme.
[00:06:20]  And in the just online piss-taking and shit posting.
[00:06:24]  You know, don't get me wrong, they're losing their decorum, but they are understanding that this works.
[00:06:28]  It's just mockery of your opponent when they're being such an authoritarian bully.
[00:06:31]  And if it's not occurring to the left by now, I mean, seriously, you are making yourselves untenable and you're hemorrhaging supporters.
[00:06:42]  So just stop being so fucking sanctimonious towards the right wing.
[00:06:48]  just stop saying right-wing.
[00:06:49]  I mean, honestly, every time... God, I get called right-wing by, like... I wouldn't call them necessarily SJWs, but people are on the hard left, who, they think, by simply saying right-wing, that in some way invalidates what I've said.
[00:07:07]  It's like, look, I don't care what wing you think I'm on.
[00:07:11]  I'm trying to talk about an issue, and you're deliberately avoiding it.
[00:07:16]  It's like a child's method of internet debate.
[00:07:20]  It's just, it's pathetic.
[00:07:22]  It's embarrassing, and it's just another one of the straws on the camel's back.
[00:07:28]  How many exactly do you want on there?
[00:07:30]  Do you really want to find out how many the camel can carry?
[00:07:33]  I mean, honestly, by this point, it's probably fucking gone too far.
[00:07:36]  I bet there are so few people who would even would even listen to the end of this fucking video.
[00:07:42]  They will literally have dismissed what I'm saying out of hand, probably without even watching one of my videos.
[00:07:48]  And they will consider themselves to be the intellectually honest and enlightened ones in this event.
[00:07:57]  I just the arrogance of it, the hubris of it.
[00:08:01]  I mean it's just it just drives me nuts.
[00:08:07]  It really drives me nuts.
[00:08:08]  And I'm just I'm sorry to see the left go.
[00:08:12]  You know, there were so many well-meaning people on it.
[00:08:15]  But just deciding that everyone else was actually a bad person for not being on their team, that is just, you know, it just means that you don't want to have dialogues.
[00:08:26]  I mean, you literally don't want to talk about the issues.
[00:08:29]  And you understand that the populations are reasonably evenly split.
[00:08:34]  And with a large chunk of swing voters.
[00:08:38]  So it really is the person, it really is the side who actually deals with the issues accurately that wins.
[00:08:46]  It's genuinely those people who are doing it, which is why the Conservatives are kicking your arses.
[00:08:53]  This is why, I mean, Labour in Britain, my God, it just, oh, it drives me crazy.
[00:08:58]  People...
[00:08:58]  People share Corbyn shit all over my timeline constantly.
[00:09:01]  And I'm just like, yeah, but I know all of you people have white neighbours who are English and have lived next to you for years.
[00:09:09]  And you probably play backgammon with Naki, not that bad.
[00:09:12]  But, you know, you have a decent relationship.
[00:09:15]  You don't have any problems in your neighbourhoods because you don't live in the sorts of places where there are problems with these populations.
[00:09:23]  It just doesn't happen to these people.
[00:09:25]  And so they don't think about it.
[00:09:26]  And they think these people are just bad people for reporting the things that are happening to them.
[00:09:33]  That's the thing that drives me crazy about it.
[00:09:34]  It's like, look, you just gotta fucking be realistic.
[00:09:37]  These are real world problems that happen to real people.
[00:09:40]  And they're really causing a genuine political backlash.
[00:09:43]  Pull your heads out of your fucking asses and pay attention.
