Can you feel how bad it is, yet？

Time Text
Hi folks, give me a minute.
I noticed that YouTube isn't even telling me that I'm doing a live stream.
What a strange state of affairs.
I'm looking at my own channel.
Oh, now it's telling me, oh, actually, you're suddenly live.
Okay, sorry, I had this planned.
Well, no, I didn't.
Actually, that's not true.
That's totally not true.
I didn't have anything planned.
It's gone midnight, and so I was like, yeah.
Just annoyed at the way things are going.
The absolute just things are so fucked.
Like, I don't even.
Don't even know.
Chat, nice to see you, by the way.
Things are so fucked.
Like.
It's not even like the position we're in now.
It's that we are in this death spiral and we cannot get out of it, especially Britain.
Britain is just so phenomenally fucked.
I just.
There is just no one who will address the fucking issues.
Like, at least in America, you guys have based people.
You know, you have actual people.
Like, people like Tucker Carlson, who will actually go on TV and in front of millions of people, say something that needs to be said.
At least you have people like Ron DeSantis, who are in charge of at least parts of the country, who will actually do the right thing and actually make things happen.
At least we've got Elon Musk, you know, with like 100 million followers on Twitter saying, you know what?
Ron DeSantis is great.
Everything's shit.
Look at what's being fucked up today.
You know, at least you've got some kind of counter-messaging to the internationalist, the WEF paradigm that's being promoted everywhere else.
In Britain, it is the most stultifying, calcified political environment.
is gross it is we are trapped so firmly trapped within tony blair's paradigm Someone's like, why can't I hear him?
Oh, don't even, don't even fucking start.
At least, at least.
No, the audio is working, you sons of bitches.
It's so awful.
Yeah, I don't know what it's like in Australia.
But I mean, you guys have at least got Sky News Australia, actually.
You know, like, we've got GB News, but GB News, A, very left-wing.
You know, they seem to have a remarkable left-wing bias already and seem to marginalize right-wingers on even GB News.
And so it's like, right, okay.
And then you've got, like, Piers Morgan doing whatever Piers Morgan's doing.
And it's like, okay, but who cares about Piers Morgan?
And he's a leftist anyway.
Like, what does he doesn't know what he is?
Like, and this is the problem.
The problem is this total ideological confusion.
No one understands what it is they need to be doing.
And so we are just trapped in this declining spiral where there are just all of the problems, or like the major problem, the thing that is causing the major civilizational collapse of the West is just off the table.
It is the giant elephant in the room.
And everyone is talking about the consequences of this problem.
And no one will admit that the elephant itself is the problem.
No one will admit that there's a giant fucking elephant standing in the middle of the room trashing everything.
Everyone's like, oh, no, another table's broken.
Well, we're going to have to replace that.
We're spending a lot of money on tables.
You know, how much furniture do we have to need to buy?
Well, apparently we need to replace this much furniture every week because of unknown reasons.
And no one will mention the thing.
And it's just so fucking frustrating.
There are a bunch of like small things I was going to talk about.
And then I started thinking about the state of the world.
I'm just like, oh, shit, man.
So I guess we'll talk about that first, shall we?
I hope you're doing well, by the way, chat.
But seriously, everything is just anyway.
Let's begin.
Oh, look, there's the thumbnail, right?
So, just like, we'll talk about this on Monday on Litsey.com in more detail, right?
But I just wanted to talk about the very broadly to start with, it's about this.
And it was just, God, I hated watching the Conservative debates.
There was an online one as well.
It was basically the same because these people are essentially all wef shills.
But they are exactly what the Labour Party has wanted them to be.
This is the thing that really surprises me about this, right?
Do they have a picture of it?
No, I don't know.
They haven't got a picture of the actual candidates for some reason.
and for some reason they put this thing up, so I can't show you them.
But, like, there's a...
We'll talk about this on Detail on Monday.
But, like, the Labour Party and leftists are complaining that the Conservatives are the party of diversity.
And it's like, you love diversity.
What are you complaining about?
By the way, if I'm really sweaty, it's because we're in the middle of a heat wave, which we'll talk about in a minute as well.
But it's like, what are you complaining about?
And the complaint is that the diversity is merely replacing that which exists rather than radically changing it.
And it's like, right, that's very interesting.
Interesting terminology that you're talking about there.
Diversity is just replacing that which was there.
And the Conservatives, again, with no understanding, no ideological compass of their own, no will to power, no ability to set values.
Yes, I have been reading Nietzsche.
Been doing a lot of good work on him recently as well.
There's there is nothing outside of the Labour paradigm for the Conservative Party.
Everything the Conservative Party does is what Labour would have them do.
And they allow themselves to be consistently trapped within the Labour framework.
And so all that happens is a continual, slow, gradual decline into leftism.
And understandably, and unsurprisingly, I should say, this is causing the collapse.
And no one, and like I love Peter Hitchens' take on the Conservative Party.
He's like, look, they're unthinking Blairites and they need to be dissolved.
So yeah, yeah, that's completely true.
Like, for example, like the Conservatives should look, and if they were like, you know, proper Berkeyan Conservatives, they would look at what the Labour Party were demanding and just do the fucking opposite.
They should do the exact opposite, right?
And the thing, the person I think that pissed me off the most, sorry that this begins a British, but we'll talk about things other than British politics.
This is just really pissing me off, right?
Is Steve Baker?
Honestly, he is possibly the most prominent public cuckold in Britain at this moment, right?
There are people like John Burko, whose wife actually cheats on him, who are less cuckolded than Steve Baker, and it just really fucking infuriates me.
Because, like, Steve, you know, endorsed a lady called Sweat.
Well, you may not know this, but he endorsed Swella Braverman.
Now, Swella Braverman is a mixed-race brown woman who is very conservative.
I really quite liked Swella Braverman as a candidate.
She was knocked out recently, but that's fine because Kevin Bade knocks Dylan and Kimi is really right-wing, so that's fine.
But this means that Steve Baker was talking initially, oh, well, he's going to throw his hat into the ring for the leadership of the Conservative Party, become Prime Minister.
Okay, let's hear it, Steve.
No, he doesn't.
He cucks.
Why?
And there's nothing public that says this, but you know it's because he's a straight white Englishman.
That's fucking why.
He knows it, I know it, and so he was like, right, I will just endorse the brown woman who says the same things that I would say.
And, oh, there we are.
Because, I mean, he even did an interview where he's like, well, look, if I seize power, then, you know, things are going to be different.
We're going to be a low-tax haven.
Oh, fucking, okay, come on.
Let's go, Steve.
Let's go.
No, actually, he's just going to be like, oh, well, I mean, brown woman, optics, labor, the press.
You know, they're going to whip us, aren't they?
Whoa, if we have a straight white man.
It's like, listen, you fucking absolute cucks, right?
If the Labour Party say, eh, you need diversity, then you should be essentially like, well, we can't do what the Labour Party say.
So unfortunately, we're going to have to have a slate of straight white men.
Like, that would be resisting the Labour paradigm, right?
Not because they're straight white men either, but because Labour doesn't want it.
That's the only reason.
You should literally be telling them on no uncertain terms.
Every Conservative member, you know, black, white, grey, whatever, you should be like, listen, we don't take moral lectures from you fucking paedophiles, okay?
And the thing is, right?
Look at the Labour Party's last leadership election.
100% English or half English, right?
All of these people, like the Labour Party, is run like a fucking ethno-nationalist party.
The Labour Party, if you were a racist, right?
You wouldn't vote for the Conservatives because it's full of non-English people.
It's full of non-white people.
You couldn't vote for the Conservatives.
You would have to vote for the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, who are literally ethno-parties full of white people.
Like they literally, Labour have not had anyone leading their party who isn't a straight white man.
And they're like, yeah, diversity diversity.
It's like, what the fuck?
What in fucking clown world is this?
Where literally you can look through the slate of people who threw their hat in.
And like, I think Pretty Patel was on there.
Kemmy Badenok, Swella Braveman.
There was a chapu Zahawi, who was an Iraqi.
There was a Jewish guy.
And it's just like, okay, great.
And I don't care.
I don't care about people's race.
I care about the essential ideological position that the Conservative Party have adopted.
It's the Labour position, right?
And it's not that any of these candidates are actually bad either, right?
Like a lot of them, I think, do have correct conservative instincts.
But the problem is that literally, the straight white men are not allowed to speak.
Now, again, I don't really care that they're straight white men.
I care that people like Steve Baker cockhold themselves to the Labour Party because they know that they'll be attacked for being straight white men.
Why accept the legitimacy of that attack?
I mean, this is the same Steve Baker who a few months ago was like, well, we're a socialist party now.
It's like, okay, Mr. Principled Libertarian.
What are you doing in a socialist party?
Oh, I know.
If I might seize power after Boris's resignation.
Oh, fucking brilliant.
Okay.
Great.
A libertarian takeover of the Conservative Party.
I could stand behind that.
That sounds like a great idea, in fact, to be honest.
But you were like, oh, no, I better not.
Why?
Because I'm a white man.
That's why.
Can't stand it.
Can't stand it.
And again, I like a lot of the candidates the Conservatives are putting forward, to be honest.
I thought Swella Braveman would actually have been a good choice.
She's been consistent, a consistent Brexit, consistent conservative.
But Kemi is the second best.
And she's the one who's come out of these debates looking really good.
The rest of them are clearly plastic idiots, frankly, right?
They're fucking, all of them are retarded.
Kemi Badenoch is the only one with some brains.
And David Starkey pointed this out.
Look, she can actually think.
She actually can think, which is great.
But we're still in this paradigm where the people who would be naturally putting themselves forward, like Steve Baker, feel that they have to cuck because of their essential characteristics.
And so we can say, well, look, look how meritorious and meritocratic the Conservative Party are by putting, you know, they don't care about race.
Yes, we know they don't care about race.
Except underlying that, we know they do care about race, which is why Steve Baker, who again, everyone loves Steve Baker.
Everyone loves him.
And you know what?
If he wasn't such a spineless, limpristed cuckold, I'd like him too.
But he is.
And he didn't put himself forward because he's a white man.
He hasn't said this publicly, but you fucking know that's why.
You know that's why.
They were like, yes, we have to put all the brown women we can forward so the Labour Party won't scream that we're not diverse.
Says the white ethno-party.
It's just, oh, it's so annoying.
Like, the Conservatives are so weak.
And they think, oh, were we outflanking Labour from the left?
Why would you want to do that?
Why do you care?
You sit there and go, look, you're the party of grooming gangs.
Shut the fuck up.
You have no moral legitimacy.
You've never had a non-white person as the leader of your party.
And until you do, like, you've never even had a woman leading your fucking party, right?
And so any, any statement about diversity, racism, sexism, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right, is rendered illegitimate on those grounds.
The fact that your leadership election is always white people and you always elect a white man means that you don't get to tell anyone else.
This should be what every conservative MP, every party member, every backbencher, every conservative activist and all the conservative media, that should just be the one response to the Labour Party.
When they say racism, sexism, blah, blah, blah, blah, you say, you're an ethno-party.
Shut the fuck up.
Don't care what you have to say.
This is literally like being told you're being cruel by Jeffrey Dahmer.
It's like, well, maybe, maybe I am.
I don't know.
But I don't take your fucking advice on it.
You are not the judge of me.
You are a bad fucking person.
And frankly, when I win this next election, I'm going to be driving you into the sea.
That should be the conservative response.
But it's not.
Instead, they're like, oh, God, what would Tony Blair do?
Oh, okay.
We'll make sure that Steve Baker doesn't run because he's a white man.
We don't care about race.
It's like, yes, you do.
You are exactly what the Labour Party wants to be, actually.
And they have made of you exactly what they want.
Honestly.
Just does my nuts.
Does my fucking nuts.
If you had any fucking sense, you would repudiate everything they said.
And then, right, the actual debate itself, right?
This fucking bell end.
This guy's a racist, right?
This guy is an anti-British racist.
He's anti-like Indigenous British people.
Again, he's a racist against them, right?
And so once, you know, people are like, well, hang on a second.
He seems to be using that as a party political broadcast just against the Conservatives.
And the thing about this whole thing, right?
I watched the whole hour, right?
By the end of it, he's like, turns to the audience of apparently independent floating voters.
Yeah, in London.
Okay, sure, whatever.
You know, people who are likely to vote conservative, I'm sure.
And he just asked them, has anything that's been said here likely to change your mind about voting conservative?
And like seven or ten people out of like, you know, 100 people put their hands up.
It's like, there we go.
All you're doing by engaging on the ground that the left want to fight you on is losing.
This did not win any hearts and minds, right?
This did not.
And if that's like in any way representative of which is not probably, but if you know, like the public at large are looking at you and thinking, right, you are not persuasive, right?
Because all of these politicians, again, apart from Kemi, who's pretty good, were very plastic and refused, absolutely refused in any of these debates to speak about the elephant in the room.
Well, like I said, I'll speak more about this on Monday and go into more detail, but it's just, it was fucking insufferable.
And the sincerity trying to make this guy approve of them.
It's like, listen, dude, right?
This guy is essentially a racial communist.
If he approves of you, you're doing a bad job.
And every conservative candidate on the stage should be like, well, sorry, Christian guru Murphy.
Don't care.
Don't give a fuck about your opinion.
We're going to fix this country from what your paradigm, the Blairite, multi-culti, immigrant-focused paradigm, has done to it, right?
We actually want to have a good country rather than a country that believes that society itself is evil and that the criminal has done nothing wrong.
That's the point.
And that, oh, everyone really should be on government handles.
Because I mean, like, some of the questions are like, what's the government going to do to save people?
The government is why we're in this fucking mess.
Like, literally, doing what this guy wants has put us in this fucking terrible mess.
And he's like, so what are you going to do about it?
It's like, make it worse.
That's the answer.
Make it fucking worse.
And the thing is, most of these people are like wef shills anyway.
Like Penny Mordaunt wrote a book a few years ago that was endorsed by Bill Gates.
It's just a big screed in the foreword of Bill Gates saying, this is such a brilliant book.
It's like, oh, fucking hell.
And like six months ago, she couldn't define what a woman is.
Well, I'm posey for making that a live issue, I suppose.
But again, it just shows you where we are.
Can you feel the fucking decline?
And they're all talking about, well.
The NHS.
Oh, God, the NHS.
Oh, it's supposed to save the NHS.
How?
How could you save the fucking NHS?
What can be done?
What can be done?
Nothing.
The NHS has got record waiting times.
Literally, like it's never been as bad as it is now.
So why?
Why?
Why?
What is it?
Oh, COVID.
No, no, it's actually not really COVID.
What it is, the fucking waiting times in ER.
It's the waiting times.
You go into accident and emergency.
You go in, and you've got to wait more than four hours.
Like, in most cases, or something like that.
I'll get the statistics from Monday so you know exactly what they are.
I can't remember off the top of my head.
It's half midnight.
But it's unbelievable.
And this was the major complaint.
And it's like, okay, why?
Why?
Oh, there are so many fucking people waiting.
That's why.
Okay, well, why have there been all these Tory cutbacks in the NHS?
haven't.
The NHS has been getting, it's just going up.
More and more money every single year will be poured into this black hole that is the NHS because there is no ending it.
Because the Conservative Party, and not one Conservative candidate mentioned this, Tony Blair, at the height of immigration under his tenure, allowed in, I think, about half a million people at most in one year.
And that's a lot.
That is a fucking huge number.
But the Conservatives allowed in last year 1.16 million.
Now, Tony Blair would probably have been dragged into the street and crucified for allowing that when that news had got out.
But when the Conservatives do it, apparently no one cares.
And so this is double Blairism that we're looking at.
And so unsurprisingly, this is fucking up this country, right?
Not even speak about the obvious social degradation that this is causing.
Like the alienation people are feeling from their high streets.
You've got to, honestly, in Swindon.
It literally within the last two years, since before the pandemic, in fact, it's radically changed.
Radically changed.
Because in the year of the lockdowns, 750,000 new foreigners were allowed to live here.
Don't know why.
Don't know why the Conservatives are doing it.
Won't mention it.
Nowhere is this mentioned anywhere.
So it's just a presupposition that everyone's accepted on the left and the right.
Yeah, there'll be literally millions of foreigners coming to live here.
Will there be a limit to this?
No, of course not.
I mean, on the plus side, at least at some point, the entire system will collapse and they won't want to come here.
It will be a failed state.
So we've got that to look forward to, which is wonderful.
But everyone's like, oh God, the NHS is, or what about the housing crisis?
A fucking housing crisis?
Well, who's living in these houses?
Who is living in the goddamn houses?
Because if you look at the birth rates, well, English women aren't actually producing enough children to grow the population.
Now, I'm not making any judgments or anything, although I've done my part, which we'll talk about in a bit, actually, because I've got some, I actually have some wholesome stuff to talk about after this.
I just want to get this rant off my chest.
So the British population, the indigenous British population, is not growing.
So who are these houses for?
Like, if anything, right?
And we're waiting for the next census to be released in its finality.
Now, they've released the initial numbers that do not have a breakdown of ethnicity.
However, what it shows us is that there are now about 60 million people living in England, as far as the government knows.
So probably something like 62 million with illegal immigrants.
So who knows?
But so this, and so, right, okay, well, what's the population number of people who are English and Welsh in England and Wales?
Well, if you go back to the last census, and the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that, all the way back to 1961, you'll notice there are about 44 to 45 million English and Welsh.
That's been a really consistent number for the last 80 years or 60 years, whatever it is, 60 years.
And in fact, it's probably about the same before that, in fact.
So it's been a really consistent number for a very long time.
So I don't see why we would, and we know what the birth rates are, so we don't have any reason to think there's going to be a massive spike in Indigenous population.
So why don't we just extrapolate from this and say, right, okay, well, if we take 60 million and we deduct about 45 million, then we're left with 15 million, which means about one in four people in England is a foreigner now.
Is that okay?
So who are the houses for?
Well, they're for the foreigners, aren't they?
Because we've got a million a year coming in.
That's who.
Why are we got massive pressure on the services?
Well, lots of people who have come here who are using the free access, point of access services, who did not contribute to them.
And also who were not here when the infrastructure was built.
And so the infrastructure was built with 44 million people in mind.
Now there are 60 million people.
Oh, unsurprisingly, everything's grinding to a fucking halt.
Not one conservative mentions this.
Not one.
Sorry, that's not true.
Kemmy Baynock did mention it on the online debate that they did for Conservative Home very tepidly, saying that we'll have to look at the numbers.
I guess that's something.
I guess that's the crack in the door that we can leverage open to at least begin to talk about this issue, perhaps.
And she's the only person who mentioned this.
And it's like, yes, that is the problem.
That is the giant elephant in the room.
That is what is literally.
You can feel the country collapsing under the weight of all of this.
And the thing is, right, it would be one thing if it was really well-meaning people, right?
And I've got to say, right, I've met lots of immigrants because you can't not.
And they're all really nice.
They're not bad people.
And I don't want people thinking that I think the immigrants are bad people.
I don't want people thinking the immigrants themselves are bad.
They're not.
Like, every time I've spoken to one, they've been really polite.
They've been really decent.
And they've been genuinely like, honestly, a lot of them seem quite conservative, actually.
Like, you get a lot of immigrant taxi drivers because I have to travel a lot.
Well, not recently, but I actually did last week when I went to Dang's thing.
And I always get talking to my taxi drivers because they're always really concerned about the state of the country.
And what's funny is, whether they're from Africa or from India or wherever, like, they'll always have a thick accent because they've recently arrived, but they're like, this country's shit.
I mean, the one I had the other day coming back from the train station, he was like, I've got a friend who runs, you know, the sort of like phone, mobile phone repair or, you know, gadget booths that you find in shopping centers.
He runs one of them.
And so when it came to lockdown, he was like, oh, God, well, that's my business going to go under then.
And it turned out the government were actually like, no, we're going to give you 50 grand.
And that's what he was just like, wow, his business doesn't make 50 grand a year.
So he must have been fucking thrilled.
You know, or profit, you know, he doesn't profit to 50 grand a year.
You know, so he was fucking thrilled.
And the thing is, we actually know how much his friend knew, the tax driver knew how much money he made a year because the guy made a claim for 25 grand, which is what he actually makes.
And he was complaining to his friend.
He's like, oh, shit, I should have applied for the full 50 because that was where it was capped for that kind of business.
And so the government is just giving away 50 grand to each business that had to close down.
And this tax driver was like, that's insane, isn't it?
I was like, yes, that's fucking mental.
You know, that's, I mean, what, like, because I didn't even know how much it was until he had told me this.
But now you see why inflation is through the fucking roof, don't you?
Because the government literally poured billions into the pockets of all these small businesses in order to make sure they didn't just go under while we had this irrational shutdown.
And so it's like, right, okay.
Brilliant.
You know, brilliant.
And again, a lot of this is going to people who are recently arrived.
You know, so it's not like they've even paid taxes into the system for any consistent period of time.
So if this was a furlough for like people who had paid vast amounts of money over their lifetimes to the government, okay, fair enough, maybe you can understand it.
But if it's people who literally haven't, because they've been here for six months and set up a fucking phone stall, and now the government's giving 50 grand, it's just that the idea that this is anything other than gross mismanagement is just fucking laughable.
You know, this country, and the immigrants themselves can see it.
Like, they're not stupid.
They're not stupid.
They're not immoral.
They're like, this country is not going how I thought it was going to go.
You know, I thought this country was going to be great.
And it turns out you guys are fucking morons and you're running it into the ground.
Do you know that?
And I'm like, yeah, I know that.
And again, I've had lots of these conversations.
I had a conversation with an African Uber driver when I was in London about six months ago, I think it was.
And man, as soon as we started talking, he was like, I hate Sidney Khan.
I love Donald Trump.
I think Boris is alright, but he needs to get off his ass and start doing some things.
And you can tell that these people are not leftists.
They're actually super conservative.
And they actually think that we're fucking up.
And again, this is just repeated conversations with immigrants who have come here and be like, why are you doing this?
And lots of them will be like, well, look, you guys are going to have to stop immigration.
Or at least slow it down.
They know what the problems are.
They know why housing is so expensive.
They know why the NHS is collapsing.
They know why the inflation is through the fucking roof.
They're not stupid.
They're not immoral.
They're not bad.
But they can see that the way the country is being run is just fucking catastrophic.
And it is because the Conservative Party, as Pete Hitchens points out, is just trapped in Blair's paradigm.
And the giant elephant in the room that they just can't talk about is immigration because the Conservatives are deathly afraid of being whipped by smug shithels like this guy.
That's what this is.
God damn it.
I have no idea what the painting of my thumbnail is, by the way.
I think it's a, let me see.
It's oh, I think it's a Photoshop, actually.
That someone had done.
It was just, you know, I put a collapse of the West on Google and it came up in the image search.
But man, like, things are so bad.
Apparently, it was £7 for just a square of butter in the supermarket the other day.
I hadn't actually gone and looked.
So, I mean, I'm going to have to buy some butts soon.
So, I'll remortgage my house on that, you know.
But it's just like, this is just unreal.
And then go, ah, it's Vladimir Putin.
No, it's not.
And no one thinks it's Vladimir Putin.
Everyone knows it's because you flooded the economy with free money that has devalued the rest of the money we have.
And so you're wiping out people's savings.
You're making it impossible for people to buy a house.
Because, I mean, really, right, house prices should be going down, right?
Because there would be, if there was zero immigration, house prices would at least be stable, if not going down.
Because if you go back to the 90s, right, house prices at the moment are 10 times the average wage.
To buy a house, the average house, it's 10 times the average wage.
That's fucking colossal, right?
And guess where?
If you look at the graph, we've covered this on the podcast before.
If you look at the graph, guess where this delineation between house price and income starts diverging, right?
Guess, guess at what year that is.
If you guessed 1997, the year Tony Blair came in, you'd be correct.
It's exactly, exactly what it was, because that's exactly the problem.
And if you go back to literally just a few years before Tony Blair, house prices were in line.
And this is...
Oh, God, there's so many big brains, man.
So many fucking big brains in mainstream politics who just house prices just before this divergence in wages and property prices were four times.
In 1993, I think it was, there were four times more.
So the average house was four times the average yearly wage.
That's fucking affordable.
Why?
Well, because immigration was really low, actually.
Really fucking low.
And in fact, there were years where immigration was just in the net negative.
So you would have more people leaving the country than coming into the country.
And so what does that do to the housing market?
Well, it means that houses become affordable because there's far less demand for housing.
And in fact, it becomes a buyer's market.
You know, the person who wants the house actually has lots of options because there are fewer people competing for each house.
And again, I'm no economist, but this is how it works.
And it's logically obvious.
You know, anyone, any child could understand supply and demand in these terms, right?
And since then, it has been fucking just out of control.
And so you get, like, just retards like Tom Harwood on GB News going, something happened in 1997.
And then, you know, the house price went crazy.
So yeah, everyone knows.
So the giant elephant in the room.
And then you get like Julia Hartley Brewer, who, in most circumstances, I really like, right?
And talk radio or talk TV, whichever she's on now.
In most circumstances, I really like.
But she's got this massive blind spot that is the elephant.
She never talks about immigration and she has no idea.
And so she's just like, Boris, you need to build more houses.
It's like, and until what?
And until we're just going to build loads of government housing.
Sorry, isn't that Jeremy Corbyn's idea?
That's what Jeremy Corbyn would do.
Pave this country over with fucking council tenements to house the rest of the world.
Why would we do that?
Julia, come on, love.
I know you're not stupid, but Jesus fucking Christ, you're so trapped.
It's so close to your face that you're not like.
Hang on a second.
Why would what are we?
Well, why are we doing any of this?
And the thing is, right, fucking at the conservative debate, right?
This comes up.
And you get fucking just geniuses.
Like, oh, what's his name?
The guy who's, I was in the army, you know, I was in the army, you know, I was in the army.
Oh, fucking.
Brilliant!
You're in the fucking army.
Great, good for you.
You know, this guy's like, look, I mean, we don't want to build over every centimetre of this country in government-owned council houses.
That'll look awful.
What we want is to build over every centimeter of this country in privately owned houses with private initiative.
It's like, no!
I don't want every inch of this country covered in concrete for foreigners.
I'm fucking sorry, but they already have countries they can live in.
Like, I would like the English countryside to remain the countryside.
So I can go for a walk every now and again, if you don't mind.
Jeez, fuck it.
But no, no, literally, he was like, no, we're going to build over.
We're just going to have a private initiative.
That's why.
Because 20% of the donorship of the Conservative Party is land developers, housing builders, housing developers.
And so it's like, right, so you can see they're financially captured, ideologically captured by the Labour Party.
And they're in this blind, narrow tunnel vision that they can't escape.
And I don't even know if they can see that there is a problem with the way that they are.
But they don't seem to understand that they are Tony Blair's party.
They are exactly what the Labour Party would want them to be.
And complicit at every step of this.
They are the creature, the product of the Labour Party.
It is disgusting.
There's Tom, some French name.
Again, he's half French.
Of course he is.
Let's put him in charge.
But he was one of the guys who kicked Scruton out of the party when Scruton was misrepresented.
It's like, look, you fucking idiots, right?
When the leftists go, eh, we don't like Scruton.
You need to kick him out of your party.
You promote him.
You have a massive fucking.
Right, we're going to have a Roger Scruton evening where he's going to tell us all about conservatism because we're meant to be fucking conservatives.
But no, instead, you're like, yeah, boot him out of the party.
Now, apparently, Tom apologised for that afterwards.
But it's like, well, why did you do it in the first place?
What was compelling you to do it?
Like, you should be repudiating them.
They do not have legitimate moral claims.
Or, if you think they do, you're in the wrong fucking party, aren't you?
Change parties.
Go over to the Labour Party.
And that's fine.
If you think that they're actually moral and just and righteous and correct on everything, go over there.
Don't kick Scruton out.
I mean, man, fucking dead now.
God rest his soul, says the atheist.
But it's like, don't.
I have not been drinking.
I'm just really fucking angry.
Black Panzer.
No, it's just.
If you think their claims are legitimate, go over to their party.
Right?
Just go.
You should.
That would be the right thing to do.
Rather than being the Labour Party's conservative skin suit.
Right?
It's disgusting.
Anyway.
How are you all?
I hope you're all doing well.
Sorry, I had to.
Rishi sounds like Blair.
I mean, like, I don't mind Rishi Senak.
It's just.
What's he going to do?
You know, he's the guy who's ruined the economy because he was complicit with lockdowns.
And in many ways, he's okay.
In other ways, he's total shit.
And he's just like, you know, another aristocratic, like, over-educated person who knows what the problems are.
I'm sure.
The thing is, Rishi Senak's a smart guy as well.
But he's very much part of the establishment.
He is not going to challenge the way things are.
And so it's just like, right, okay, don't worry about it, Rishi.
Don't worry about it.
Don't want you.
Don't want Preddy Mordant.
Liz Truss is not terrible on the issues, but she is really stupid and uncharismatic.
Really.
I mean, she's not incompetent like Penny Mordant, who keeps getting kicked out of fired off every job she's had.
She's not incompetent.
She's just slow and uninspiring.
Even though she may actually do the right thing, she's never going to win a general election.
So, okay, put her in charge.
And in two years' time, the Conservatives just get rinsed by the most boring man in all of human history, Keir Starmer.
Who incidentally admitted that his legal, what was he?
He was director of prosecutions or something.
And when the Groomingang scandal hit, and he basically had to admit, yeah, we fucked up.
Yeah, we've been allowing it.
And it's still going on.
It's still going on at an industrial scale.
And he's just like, yeah, we fucked up.
It's like great.
You know?
But I guess at least he'll win the racist vote for being English.
You know, oh, look, he's a white man.
Quick vote for him, say the racists.
I mean, Jeremy Corbyn did get endorsed by the Nazis.
For his dance on Jews, obviously.
I just, I can't stand everything about this country's politics at this point.
So how's that heat wave doing for everyone?
I fucking love these graphics that have been going around, man.
I mean, look at this.
Just look at this.
Right?
Like, look at the one from the past.
This is what it was like before.
When I was a kid, right?
This is what the map looked like.
Let me see if I can get you the maps proper.
It's about as good as I can do.
For some reason.
See if I can fix that, actually.
There we go.
Right, so you can see, right, that the temperatures.
This is a map from, I don't know, the early 2000s.
And this is what the maps, the weather map used to look like when you're a kid and you're watching TV.
And it's just like, okay.
And you can see the numbers.
29, 35, 34, 33, 35, 31, 27, 32.
You know, okay, it's a heat wave.
It's just a regular heat wave.
Look at the numbers here.
27, 30, 33, 30, 31, 28.
It's not as hot as it was 10 years ago or whatever this map's from.
Look at the way it's displayed.
Like, I mean, literally the way he's describing it, you know, in the past, cheery, sunny graphics, because everyone would have been like, oh, great.
We're going to go to the beach or something.
No, now, look at this, fucking, is the world on fire?
Like, what is the deepest red?
Oh, my God.
It's blood red.
This country is on fire and dripping with blood and chaos and destruction.
In Birmingham, I notice, huh?
Which might be accurate.
But it's just like, this is a form of propaganda, right?
Don't get me wrong.
It's not a fun heat wave, right?
And I'm sweating balls because my aircon is actually broken.
It's no longer pumping out cold air.
It's just pumping out room temperature air.
And so at least it's basically an expensive fan now.
I need to get it fixed.
And the thing is, right, that happened like two years ago.
And it's been like this just, you know, every year since, you know, and it when I had it, it was hot then.
Like, these temperatures are just, this is what we get every year.
Every year in the summer, you get temperatures about this sort of level.
And it's just, you know, it's a bit hot.
There are going to be people in, like, Texas and Australia going, 30, let me.
It's like, 95 Fahrenheit.
Oh, you fucking pussies.
You know?
Texas is hot, Scott.
I know.
I know.
I've been to Texas.
It's fucking insufferable.
Florida, Texas, like all of these places are hotter.
And this is just a regular British heat wave.
You know, it's nice.
Like, you know, it's like, ooh.
But look at the problem just constantly, right?
And this, look at this from Lad Bible, right?
Millions of followers on Facebook.
See if I can get.
Metos is 2050 summer heat wave.
Prediction looks scarily similar to next Tuesday's forecast.
43.
Okay.
Maybe put some fire graphics.
So, you know, like, just calm down.
Honestly, everything that we get sent to us is propaganda now.
What was this?
Oh, yeah.
That's something I wanted to talk about as well.
The woman king.
I see everyone dunking on this, like, 83 thumbs down.
No, no, this is going to be a great film.
But we'll talk about that another time.
I think.
I don't know.
I did it.
You know, there were loads of normie reaction videos to my British Crusade Against Slavery.
And it's really quite wholesome, actually, watching these normies who had no idea.
It's my chair sinking.
Is not my chair sinking?
No, it's not.
No idea that the British had anything to do with ending slavery.
No idea whatsoever.
And yeah, plant the grapes now, yeah, maybe.
And it's actually really wholesome watching like these Zoomers who don't know who I am, who've just been sent this link, and I'm watching my video and it going, oh my god, I had no idea about any of this.
And watching them realize that, oh my god, actually, the kingdom of Dahomey was a slave state and would wage war on its neighbors to capture slaves, to sell to the Europeans, to then take to the New World, was mind-blowing to them.
They were like, oh, God, right.
So it was Africans capturing Africans to sell to Europeans or to Arabs.
And then that is the origin of the slave trade.
It's like, yep.
And literally, the king of Dahomey, Gezo, who is in this film, was confronted by the British.
Gezo being played by John Boyger, John Black Lives Matter Boyega.
It's like, John, you are playing the man who is responsible for enslaving your ancestors.
Shamelessly responsible.
Proud of it, in fact.
And when the British came and knocking, excuse me, Mr. Gezo, we actually have had a long, couple of centuries-long thought, think about this.
And it turns out it's pretty un-Christian to enslave people.
And it's very illiberal as well.
And we don't like it.
And so we, the British Empire, masters of the world in like 1830 or whatever it was, are going to force you to stop.
There'll be no more slave trade, I'm afraid.
And Gezo was like, wait a minute.
No, no, no, no, no.
And this is a direct quote.
Slavery is the ruling principle of my people.
It is the source of their glory and their wealth.
It's like, hmm.
It's a pretty damning quote from this African king.
And the British were like, yeah, we don't care, actually.
You know, you're going to stop slaving.
And we suggest that you begin, what's it?
Date plantations or something?
It was advocates or something.
I don't know.
Like, it was some fruit plantation, basically.
And Gezo's like, yeah, man, that's going to impoverish us if we do that.
You know, slaves are really profitable because all we have to do is just raid the nearest enemies, you know, which is whoever's next to us and capture them and sell them to you.
And we're like, yeah, but that's not happening anymore.
Get used to it.
And Gezo was like, well, that sucks.
So who's going to run these plantations then?
Gezo was like, ah, we might not be able to trade the slaves, but we can force them to work on plantations.
And so that's what he did.
He went and captured his slaves, made them work on the plantations.
It wasn't as profitable, and the kingdom of Dahomey went downhill and collapsed eventually.
But anyway, the point being, the point being, this film is not going to represent that at all.
And so this is akin to making a pro-Nazi movie that just omits the Holocaust.
Doesn't bring it up.
Why would you bring this up?
No, no, no, no, no.
It's just that it's the evil Russians and the West who decided one day to just, oh, they're coming to conquer us and enslave us.
I mean, that's not what the Europeans are doing, right?
For Benin.
Like, the kingdom of Benin, right?
Gezo was a tremendous friend of Britain because we were part of the massive wealth that his kingdom was able to amass.
And he became essentially a vassal state, a vassal king to the King of Britain.
And he was happy with this, more than happy with this.
And he really, and he was literally, I'll do anything other than abolish the slave trade.
Because this is literally the core of our wealth.
And we were like, yeah, but that's the problem, actually.
And he had called himself a great friend of England and stuff like this.
It's like, okay, well.
So the fact that they've made this film, which is literally akin to making a Nazi movie where the Nazis did nothing wrong, didn't do nothing, and got invaded by the West and by the Russians over nothing.
And there wasn't, nothing terrible happens to any Jewish people.
In fact, Jewish people won't even be mentioned in this film.
Jews, what are you talking about?
We are the Jews.
You know, that's literally going to be like the argument here.
We're the blacks.
We're the people being enslaved by the Europeans.
No, that's not what this was.
And so everyone dunking on this film, a 3,000 downvotes.
No, no, no, no, no.
Upvote.
Fucking upvote.
This makes them look fucking ridiculous.
This film is literally like a 4chan prank.
It's amazing.
So yeah, don't downvote this.
Go and watch it.
Go and watch it again.
And they'll be like, why are all these white people?
Why are these straight white men, young straight white men, with all these weird internet subculture like t-shirts coming to watch the woman king?
Why is this so popular?
It's going to be hilarious.
I think this is going to be one of those you would think it would be a hate watch, but no, no, I think it'd be unintentionally hilarious.
So it's not out yet, so who knows?
But I think it's going to be hilarious.
I have heard of the Ripper Verse.
We covered it on the podcast the other day.
And I think it's excellent that anyone in what I suppose we'll call the alternative sphere, like the non-mainstream sphere, whenever anyone creates any sort of content, if they're putting their backs into it and the content seems like it's going to be half decent, we should endorse it.
We should support it because, frankly, we need to just not everything is going to be a success, right?
And so people will try something and it'll fail.
And okay, well, don't rag on them for failing.
You know, be proud of them for trying, you know, because eventually some thing will be created that will be amazing and that will rise like a shooting star and start building a new and counter institution to the woke Hollywood bullshit that we're being propagandized with on a daily basis.
And that's what we want to promote.
Want to promote things that are genuine, authentic, and I mean, I guess we'll just call them conservative for the sake of you know the word, even though that that's not what they're going to be probably.
You know, it'll probably be just that they are trying to tell an authentic human story rather than propagandize you with left-wing ideology.
But that will be called conservative, even though, again, that won't be the intention of it, but that essentially will be the effect of it.
And so, we should really just support anything.
You know, I'm happy to support any alternative content creator.
Um, and there are loads of them who are producing culture, and we should absolutely be doing that ourselves.
Uh, so yeah, just go and at the end of the day, folks, just throw them a fiver.
You know, when they've got their crowdfunder, just throw them a fiver, you know, you're gonna waste that on some bullshit, you know.
You know, this is what you know, if you're if you're like, look, I support the alternative sphere, I'm sick of the mainstream, captured, ideological propaganda that I'm being fed every day.
Uh, go without like the Starbucks coffee for a day, make your own coffee at home, and then just throw them a fiver, even if you're not interested in the product, you know, just you can you can consider that to be like your part, your tithe, your your contribution to the war effort, you know.
Um, it every little bit counts to every one of these independent content creators.
Because, I mean, I don't know whether any of you guys watch Shad's latest video where he's like, Look, YouTube is really shit for independent content creators.
Yeah, it is, it is.
There's a reason that I set up a website because YouTube is shit for independent content creators.
And I mean, I literally just got back for a laugh every sort of six months or whatever, I just reapply for monetization on this channel, just to waste the time, to be honest.
Uh, and they're like, No, no, there's hateful content that incites it's like all right, but every I'm just gonna reapply just to clog up the system, really.
Uh, no, I'm joking, it's just just see what just see how long it takes and whether things change in YouTube at the back end, uh, because this is like we'll know if things change when these things become monetized again.
But, um, but yeah, it's things are tough for independent content creators at the moment, uh, so do go and support them, especially if they're creating an initiative like the Ripperverse.
Again, it's only a fiver, you know, and I know times are tough, right?
And I know, God, do I know, uh, but we've got to put our money where our mouth is.
And these people are really, I genuinely, I mean, I can't remember the guy's name now, but I've been subscribed to his channel for fucking years.
But the thing is, I hardly get to watch any of his content because I hardly have time to watch any content at all.
But whenever I've watched any of his content, it's man, it's exactly what I would have said were I covering the subject that he's covering.
So I'm like, man, this guy's great.
But the thing is, that also means I don't actually need to watch his content because I know what he's going to say because it's my opinion.
But when he's like, right, I'm going to create something.
Well, cool.
Go on then, chaps.
Come on, let's go fucking support one of our own.
This guy totally gets what's going on.
And so let's, you know, let's go and support.
So yeah, totally in favor.
Like I said, we covered it on the podcast.
So hopefully this guy absolutely, it's the same like comics game and stuff like that.
Go and support them.
Go and support anyone.
You know, like make sure that we have got this vibrant cultural output, is my opinion.
So hopefully he smashes it.
You know, and as I understand, he's already done more than like a million on it, which is fucking amazing.
Eric July, that's it.
Yeah, thank you.
I appreciate it.
But apparently he's already got like a million on it or something like that.
It's like, good.
Fucking good.
You know?
But let me see if I can, can I found, can I find, uh, the actual crowdfunder?
Weirdly, on Google, um, I can't find, uh, a link to, a link to the crowdfund.
That's what is weird.
I mean, I searched for Ripper versus Crowdfund and I don't seem to have a link.
Let me see if I can.
I guess I'll see if I can find it if he's got a Twitter account.
Ah, there we go.
$2.2 million in total revenue.
Fucking bravo.
Campaign goal $100,000.
Nearly two and a half million dollars.
Fucking brilliant.
That is so good to see.
Because the thing is, I'm not a comics guy, so I don't know anything about any of this.
But it looks good to me.
It looks like something is happening rather than the shit artwork.
I mean, like, again, I'm not a comics guy, but man, watching some of the comics gay stuff and then comparing.
This is what an old comic looked like.
And it was half decent.
This is what a new comic looked like.
And it's like the Cal Arts style.
And it's like, shit, man.
So at least, look at these guys.
It looks like genuine talent and effort has gone into this.
And something's happening.
Brilliant.
Fucking brilliant.
Love it.
Love everything about it.
Keep going, lads.
Keep smashing it.
I hope they do well.
I mean, they've already done well, you know, Jesus.
But I hope it raises 20 million, you know, fucking hell.
See, this comics are for children.
This is an attitude that I think we need to talk about.
Because this kind of snobbish elitism, to me, smacks of insecurity about one's own position as an adult.
Sorry, I've got snot because I'm hay feverish.
And it always happens in the middle of summer.
But yeah, so this kind of, there's a great C.S. Lewis quote that goes something along the lines of, when I became an adult, I put aside childish things, including the fear of being called childish.
And that is a child's fear.
It is only children who are concerned about not appearing to be an adult because they are not adults.
They are children, right?
I am 42 years old.
I have three children.
A house, a wife, and a business.
I pay a mortgage.
I pay stacks of fucking taxes.
I don't give a fuck if something I enjoy is childish to someone outside of my life.
Right?
Because, frankly, I am essentially the thing that I claim to be.
I am an adult and I am a functioning member of society and I'm contributing.
I am one of the pillars that is holding up the earth.
And so, after doing my daily work as a businessman, as a husband, and as a father, once my children go to bed and my wife is watching soaps on TV or whatever it is, I will indulge in whatever entertainment I fucking want because I have earned it.
I have secured the world as it needs to be.
I've held up the sky during my day.
And to unwind, I will do as I want.
And if that means reading a fucking comic, I will read that fucking comic and you can go and swivel.
It is not childish if I have literally done all of the necessary things an adult must do to hold the world up around me.
Once I've done that, I will do as I please.
And so, what I've been doing, this nicely leads me on to my Warhammer stuff that I wanted to promote.
There's a link in the description to my new Instagram because my other one got totally fucking silent.
So, literally, zero people outside of those people already subscribed to it can actually see it.
You can't actually right.
So, if you type in Carl, right, Benjamin, right?
My old one doesn't come up, right?
You've got to type in Carl Benjamin 100 exactly for my old one to come up.
But you can see this new one comes up by just typing in Carl, right?
So, you can, you know, you can see that that is not shadow banned.
So, my old one is shadow banned.
Hence, I've created this new one just because it's insufferable being shadow banned.
I'd rather have a smaller account that wasn't shadow banned than an account that's large but not visible to people who don't already follow it.
So, I don't want to just preach the choir, right?
So, um, but anyway, so this leads me on to Warhammer because there's a young chap in the dissident right called Columba.
Now, I'm not dunking him.
I actually quite like him, even though we've locked horns a few times.
I actually find him quite funny, and I don't mind him, but he's very young, and he does none of the essential things that I do as an adult 42-year-old man because he's 21.
He has not had the life opportunity, he is not old enough to have been through the things that I've been through to arrive at the point where I will play with my Warhammer models as much as I fucking want because A, they cost the earth, and B, it's how I enjoy unwinding after a long day of being responsible adult, right?
But we had this conversation, he was like, Oh, Warhammer's cringe.
It's like, okay, let's talk about this because this also dovetails with what's been happening in Warhammer, and also with someone like Dave the distributist, who I really like and I would love to have another conversation with.
Although I don't seem to have any way of contacting him, so email me, Dave, if you want to have a chat about this.
Because I would love to have a talk with you about this.
Because he admitted on a live stream the other day that during lockdown, before we get into this, I just want to talk about my Zen Charmie.
Because this is one of those things, like for my I've been playing Warhammer since I was about 12, right?
So, literally about 30 years now.
I've been playing Warhammer on and off, you know, like so, play it for a period of time between like 12 and like 19.
And then at 19, I was like, oh, God, this is childish.
I have to sell this.
And so, I sold loads of fucking stuff that I had.
And then, when I was about 28, I was like, oh, man, I really enjoy playing Warhammer.
Why did I do that?
You know, and then I just kind of dropped off.
And now I've got back into it because my son is into it, right?
And so, this leads us on to like the way that the right wing should view hobbies like Warhammer, and in particular, Warhammer, in fact.
Because this is important.
But anyway, before we start on that, right?
They look alright, don't they?
Oh, how nice.
All right, so check out the terrain.
I made that terrain.
I made this terrain, right?
This is a large board.
They're just over there.
I'm not going to go again.
I was too lazy, right?
I found a bunch of videos on YouTube just how to make this really nice looking terrain.
And it's actually really easy, right?
So you get this stuff called extruded polystyrene, and then you just get PVA glue, paint over it, pour sand on it, spray paint it, and dry brush it.
Easy.
Comes out like this top layer.
Really, really easy.
Really low effort.
Looks great.
And also, what I did is carved out, and I found this thing to create hills that have like stacked layers, as you can see in the background.
Again, another video is just like, look, just, you know, cut the thing up and then score down it with a sharp knife.
And then go along with like a butter knife and just rough it up.
So it looks like a ragged cliff, and then you know, spray it, dry brush it with like grey or whatever, and then boom, I think it looks great.
And the resin river here was my own invention.
So I thought, right, okay, so if on this, I've got this large board.
So if I just, because when I was about 12, in the on the old Warhammer in the game hobby club that we used to go to, they had like loads of styrofoam boards, and someone had carved out like a river.
And so the end of the river is always in the center of the board.
So you can tile them and you have, you know, a river, you know, you can customize.
I thought, oh man, I would really like to remake this.
However, I can do better because this was just painted, right?
And I'd previously been making crappy resin things with my son because it was again just something practical that we could do.
And I was alright, I can see how all this is going to come together.
And so essentially, I just sellotaped up the ends of the river, pulled the resin, carved it all out, painted it, glued like rough-looking stones in the bottom, and then poured the resin in.
And it turned out exactly as I thought it would.
Looks great, right?
Really happy with it.
And so tomorrow, my mum has come up to visit.
And so me, my mum, and my son are going to have a massive game of Warhammer on these tiles I haven't yet used and that she hasn't seen yet.
And we haven't played them yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.
And I will take photos and put up like a battle plot on my Instagram crap.
And I think it's going to look great, actually.
I'm really tough with it.
So anyway, yeah, so I've got like 3,000 points of Dark Angels, and I was really getting tired of painting Dark Angels.
And I've never had a Zench army.
I've never had a Thousand Sons army.
I've always loved the way the models looked.
I thought, oh, okay, fine.
I think I've got enough Dark Angel at this point.
I think I can justify starting this new army.
And I started it.
And like, I really, really enjoy painting the models.
They're gorgeous.
They're fucking gorgeous, right?
And I'm happy with how they turn out.
Although the photos aren't great because my lighting in the kitchen is terrible.
I should spend a lot of time actually, you know, like setting up these nice lights and doing them properly.
But I'm really happy with how they turned out.
And these are just normal, like I'd paint the other ones, right?
And so that's the first four guys.
And they took ages.
They take fucking forever.
And I was also, my wife, a while ago, was like, why don't you get an airbrush and try that out?
Because I'd been talking about it.
I was like, I'll never learn how to use it.
But I said, actually, fuck it.
I'll get an airbrush.
And so I painted the next four guys with the airbrush.
And actually, they turned out all right.
You know, the airbrush was actually surprisingly easy to use.
I just got this 50-quid one that was like bad, you know, like a rechargeable, you know, you plug it into a USB and it charges.
And I had a great time.
And so this, this is another, like, I did this one tile that was just a resin lake, which again, it turns out great.
Like, it looks really nice.
You can see why I'm enjoying talking about this rather than talking about politics.
Like, this is actually something I have some agency and fun with.
But anyway, yeah, so these guys turn out great.
But again, they take forever.
And I recently just finished the final two, which are the Soul Reaper Cannon and the Aspiring Sorcerer.
10,000 years old, still aspiring.
Good point in the chat, by the way, on that.
But I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
And just like, really happy with it.
Like, let me check out that fucking blending.
That was by hand.
The actual blue of it is the airbrush.
But the rest of it is, of course, by hand.
Happy, happy with how my paintings come along.
But looks good, right?
And I'm chuffed with it.
You know, that's fine.
It's not that like, you know, it's not like award-winning or anything.
It's just pretty good.
And the airbrush really made, it saves so much time.
So much time.
So I don't know how I ever lived that airbrush.
But anyway, the reason I'm talking about any of this is because there's been a lot of talk in right-wing circles about Warhammer.
And so on one hand, you've got the sort of Columba position where, oh, Warhammer's cringe.
And on the other hand, you've got like the distributist position where it's like, ah, Warhammer doesn't seem like a worthwhile pursuit and stuff like this.
And it's like, listen, right?
Warhammer is, and everyone accepts this.
It is intrinsically right-wing, right?
You can't leftize Warhammer.
If the right can't commit to at least one cultural aspect that it can claim as unabashedly its own, then what can it claim?
You know, it's going to lose every single piece of culture to the left because it simply is making no claims.
Right?
And Dave was feeling guilty about it, like, because during the lockdown, he had nothing else to do, so he bought himself some warm stuff and he painted and he was really guilty.
He felt like guilty about this.
I was watching this stream talking about it.
It's like, man, you are a husband and father.
You work really hard.
This is free time that has been allotted to you by fate.
You don't have to feel bad about that.
You enjoy your free time as you want because you have done all of the necessary requirements to acquire it and attain it and earn it.
It's yours.
Don't you feel guilty about doing the one thing that is intrinsically right-wing?
And like, Warhammer is so intrinsically right-wing.
It's everything that a right-winger would want, right?
And it's easy to focus on just the law.
Obviously, the law.
Obviously, the Imperium of Man is like it's like Robert Conquest's idealized.
I think it's the second law where it's like any institution that's not explicitly right-wing drifts leftwards over time.
This is the apex explicitly right-wing institution is the Imperium of Man, right?
So, okay, perfect.
That's an innovative self-lovely.
But the actual game itself is also intrinsically right-wing, right?
It is, of course, expressly meristocratic.
There's no quality.
The tournament scene, and like competitive scene is, is cutthroat, right?
It's absolutely cutthroat.
And Games Workshop are constantly releasing rules updates on the fly.
I mean, I have no idea what the current rules are, to be honest.
I'm just going to be working with the old rules because it's just me and my kid and my mum.
But the point is, they're constantly releasing these rule patches because the competitive nature of the scene, right?
It's really intense.
And so it's just like, right, okay.
Like, this is not about equal outcomes or anything like this.
This is about a hyper-competitive game.
But then to get to the position of playing the game, it requires a huge amount of time and investment.
This is deferred gratification.
Like, I've been spending at least a month now painting one squad of Rubick Marines.
And I've just, I spent like all of my free time today painting up my chaos sorcerer lord in terminated armor who's going to be my commander.
Again, one of these models I've seen for decades and I've always wanted but never had an army for it.
And now I've got it and I'm really tough.
I'm really enjoying it.
But it's one of those things where it's total deferred gratification, right?
You are not going to be getting instant gratification out of Warhammer.
There's no such thing.
It is impossible.
You cannot just buy it and oh, all right, oh, now I'll play it and now I'll get bored of it and then I'll carry on.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is an investment of time for months and years.
I mean, it can be literally months.
Like, I don't know when I'm going to get to play an actual game with these thousand sons, but man, am I looking forward to that game?
I am really forward because I really like the way the army works as well.
I got the codex, obviously, and I've really excited to use it.
And that's just making me want to paint them all because I'm autistic.
So, like, I don't want to paint, I don't want to play with grey models.
I hate it.
I just really hate it.
I would rather paint them up and play with them.
Because I just, you know, there's something about it that feels authentic, right?
But the thing is, everything I paint, I put on the internet.
And so it's like, right, I've been practicing really hard on my painting.
So it's like, I've got to paint them to the highest standard I can.
So that means that the entire process is really fucking slow for me, particularly.
And so This is a labor of love, but it's also, again, something that requires patience, care, consideration, dedication, right?
Those things, like the excellence over time that the right wing values is intrinsically baked into the mechanics of Warhammer, right?
That to play the game, even if he weren't going to paint any of it, right?
It still takes ages to put the fucking things together.
And so you've still got to spend, you know, at least a few hours.
If you're going to put together a thousand-point army, it'd probably take you an afternoon at least, right?
That's a lot of effort to put together all these fucking dozens and dozens of models to get this fucking thousand-point army.
So, like, there's no way really you're going to do it in a day.
So, this is just a long-term investment.
So, this is, again, the way the right wing views the world is baked into what Warhammer is.
And then, the rules, man, they're fucking complex, right?
So, there's this natural gatekeeping mechanism where the sort of, I mean, you know, Nikki Minaj fan, you know, the sort of person who's constantly just scrolling on Instagram and just, you know, like doing really low-intensity, low-effort, low-thought things, they are just naturally kept out of this hobby because they have got no interest in spending any amount of time on any of this, right?
And then you get to the aesthetic side of the hobby, which again, I mean, look at the thousand sons.
Look at these guys, ignore my painting, right?
Even though I'm actually really proud of these guys, and this is one of the first things I've actually been really proud of, you know, all the other ones I've been okay with and I've been quite happy with.
Like, I did my Terminator Captain for my Space Marines, and that was the first one that I was really like, wow, I've actually done alright on that guy, really quite pleased with him.
But, like, you know, so all of my thousand sons so far, I'm really proud of.
But look at the aesthetic, man.
This is a concern of beauty.
You know, the models themselves, like, there's been a lot of work and love and care and detail put into all of this.
This is not.
And this is like how to put it.
Like, there is something genuinely artistic being created here, right?
The micro-universe that is being created, it doesn't make sense to try and introduce outside politics into it, right?
So you've got a genuine piece of art here.
This is a genuine aesthetic experience you're engaging in.
And it's also mechanical.
You know, you also have to roll dice, remember rules, think as you're doing it.
You've got to calculate.
So you are improving your skills, your numeracy, your literacy, your memory skills.
I mean, fucking hell, man.
The number of rules you have to remember.
And so it's like, right, okay.
So you're working your mind.
You're improving your patience.
You are engaged in something artistic.
And you are upholding right-wing values in everything about Warhammer.
And you've got fucking people on the right going, yeah, I don't know about Warhammer.
It's like, there is nothing more right-wing.
Like, seriously, this is just, as a hobby, this, everything about Warhammer drips right-wing philosophy.
And if you can't embrace it, then the left will eventually chew it up from the inside, like they do with everything else.
And they're desperately trying, but, and you may have seen this on Archer's channel, of course, they have reprinted the Horus Heresy rules and been like, yeah, all the space marines are male.
You're going to have to deal with it, leftists.
So all of the lip service, blah, blah, blah.
Warhammers for everyone.
Diversity and inclusion.
Well, it was all out of the window because they know that intrinsically, it's not.
It's right-wing, and it has to be right-wing.
And as Dave said in his stream, they can't left eyes it.
It has to be right-wing.
And so they can give all of the lip service to left-wing online activists they want.
But it comes down to it, they know the core of their fan base are essentially right-wing nerds like me.
And they're like, okay, well, yeah, no female Space Marines.
You just have to live with it.
You know, and it's like, right, okay, that is a concrete victory for the right.
Believe it or not, in the culture war, that Games Workshop came out and had to, in the fucking rules, have got no female Space Marines.
No girls allowed.
That is genuinely good.
Unholy passive.
This is a grown man.
Dude, fuck off.
Fuck off.
I pay more in tax than you earn in a fucking year.
Fuck off.
I will talk about these things in the way that I want to my pleasure as much as I like.
Go somewhere else if you don't like it.
It's your choice.
But you can't deny the things that I'm saying.
And if you're worried about feeling childish, it's because you somehow lack in your own life.
You are not authentically and essentially that thing you are trying to be.
Go and work on it.
Go and work on it.
When you're a husband, when you're a father, when you're in a business, then come back to me.
I am all of those things.
I don't have to answer to you on any of this.
If you're cringing or embarrassed, that's your problem, not mine.
I'm having a really great time with this, and I'm going to carry on talking about this.
But no, I think I've actually finished talking about this now, actually.
But that's basically what I'm saying.
Look, you have got to, you've got to be able to take your wins where they come.
And you've got to be able to recognize that which is intrinsically yours versus that which is intrinsically not yours.
And if you can't claim Warhammer, then you can't claim anything.
So the right wing really needs to stop cringing over like, oh, what will people think?
Dude, they'll think you're a bunch of fucking Nazis.
They'll hate you.
Really?
Like, oh, but I don't think I like Warhammer.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
That is such a weak, weak position.
And I'm sick of weakness.
You know, you need to have the self-generative confidence to do the things you want to do and be proud of the things that you want to do.
The things that make you happy and that make the people around you happy.
And like I said, like, I will be playing Warhammer tomorrow with my mum and my son.
So it'll be three generations of us playing.
And like, what a wholesome family thing that's going to be.
In fact, my mum's going to be bringing my aunt over as well.
She doesn't know this.
She's going to be joining us for Warhammer.
But she's coming over just so she can have Sunday lunch and this sort of thing.
But what a wholesome and family, you know, family-oriented day this is going to be.
And it's going to be fun.
Like, my son loves this.
You know, I love doing this with him.
My mum is going to enjoy it because she loves doing stuff with me and my son.
And it's just like, man, this is just so...
Like, if you can't see how this is, like, what the right wing is aiming for in every aspect of it, then you are just lost, basically.
And I feel bad for you because I'm going to have a really good time.
And I've had a really good time doing this so far.
I'm going to carry on.
And so basically, stop thinking like a leftist is what I'm saying.
But anyway, I'll stop ranting and raving about this.
Even though, man, I'm just chuffs.
And I spent, like I said, I really wanted to get this Chaos Terminator Sorcerer Lords done today, but it's just too many details on it.
I don't want to half-ass it.
So it's looking good.
I'm sort of slightly converting it so he looks a bit more thousands of sons-ish because I happen to have like spare bits.
So that's good.
But yeah, so I think that's pretty much it.
So I'm focusing on something I enjoy as civilization collapses.
You should do the same, but also, like I said, do your part to support those people who need supporting.
When someone is taking a step forward, support them.
You know, if it seems like it's good and decent and done in good faith with good intention, and there's talent and effort and labor and virtue being demonstrated, get involved.
Don't just sit there like saying, Oh, nothing can change.
This is how the alternative is built.
This is how the alternative is built.
You know, it's this stuff.
It's the small things that you do for the sake of doing them that is how things get done.
But anyway, yeah, follow my new Instagram, link in the description.
I'll post a battle report tomorrow.
It'll be fun.
I don't have to do any super chats on this channel.
So, you know, there are advantages to being demonetized.
If you want to support us, of course, go over toleros.com, sign up.
That's how we keep everyone employed now.
Everything's going really well, by the way.
So, yeah.
And I'll see you on the podcast on Monday.
Take it easy, chaps.
Zord says, but I'm not interested in comics.
Then don't do comics.
Do something else.
That's just an example.
And even if you're not interested in comics, you know, again, it's just a fiver, isn't it?
Where's Liz?
Yeah, I will.
I will.
Now, I have some free time in the evenings now, which I'll explain later in this year why I have more free time in the year.
But you'll, again, it's just one of those things that where when you know what I've been doing, you'll be you will forgive me for spending my what little free time I have on painting my space marine thousand sons.
But I will reveal, but I will, I will organize with Louie to do a stream because I love doing streams, Louie.
And yeah, again, he's another one of those demonetized chaps, so make sure you chip in where you can.
Anyway, have a great evening, folks.
See you later.
I don't know how long I have to leave this until it's talked.
