	Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
	Hope you're doing well.
	Hello, chat.
	Yes, this is my tankiarch.
	I do happen to really despise the fucking bourgeoisie.
	The thing is, I've always said it, right?
	I've always said, I just hate the middle class.
	I really, really despise them.
	And I really mean it as well.
	There is a particular kind of cowardice.
	In the middle class, a sniveling conformity and a false sense of morality that underpins absolutely everything they say and do, and it's all predicated on the idea that actually guys, i'm harmless, therefore i'm a good person.
	No, you're a fucking pussy.
	That's what you are.
	You're a fucking pussy and i'm sick of it.
	I am absolutely sick of it.
	I'm sick of the equation, the equating weakness with goodness.
	I'm absolutely tired of it.
	Weakness does not equal goodness.
	It means nothing.
	It means you have no agency.
	It means you are not good nor bad.
	You are as moral as a stone or a tree.
	You have no morality if you are too weak to take any kind of action.
	Morality consists in the positive action you take, not in the lack of action that you don't take.
	My god do I fucking hate the bourgeoisie and all of their moral framework.
	They're so morally stunted.
	It just drives me crazy.
	They don't understand that.
	They're sat there with their soft hands and their fucking like IPA beers going well, I mean, I think the right things, therefore i'm a good person.
	It's like no, that makes you a fucking sheep.
	A good person takes an affirmative action.
	They do something, they move, they actually physically make something happen and the the quality of that thing is either good or bad.
	You sat there filling in your fucking tps reports, wearing your lanyard and making sure you don't say anything that ruffles any feathers because you don't want to get called into a hr meeting doesn't make you good, it makes you cucked.
	It means you are a fucking sheep, it means that nothing about your life is in fact important or worthy and it means that you have nothing actually to offer the world.
	You are a cog in a machine, devoid of morality, devoid of agency, devoid of power, devoid of decency, devoid of anything that actually makes up what classically, we would consider a moral human being.
	Just fyi, if you're sat there, you're like, oh my god, this guy hates the bourgeois.
	I think that might be me Frank.
	Come over here, we're gonna watch this.
	I hate you.
	I just really hate you.
	Take your fucking prosecco and shove it up your ass.
	You are basically the the, the last people in history.
	Right, that's what you are.
	You are genuinely the rats in the cage in the Mouse Utopia.
	You are just living out your final days as the world grows darker and you don't understand why, Like everyone is getting angrier and angrier and angrier.
	But that's okay because soon you're going to pass away.
	Soon at some point, I know you're getting a bit on now.
	And soon you're going to pass away.
	You're going to be, you're going to be like, well, I mean, everything's just terrible.
	Everything's just terrible.
	It's like, no, you were terrible, actually.
	The whole time it was you.
	And you can't see it.
	And I just, I just want to be clear.
	I just hate you.
	I just can't stand this fucking IPA drinking led by donkeys enjoying twattery of everything from about the year 1997 up until about now.
	Actually, I just can't stand it and i'm so tired of it and i'm so tired of these people.
	I have no respect for them whatsoever, right?
	So that's, oh god, I felt good to get off my chest.
	Um yeah, they're not not just selling out the next generation, my god, they sold out our entire civilization and they think they're good people while they do it.
	And it just drives me crazy.
	It drives me absolutely crazy and it it's.
	It's just one of those things where i'm just like, okay, i'm at the end of my tether with it, i'm at the absolute end of my tether with it and I am.
	I am in no way interested in whether Ed Davy is upset by this.
	Okay, like any, any moral intervention by a Davy is always framed in the fact that he is a fucking clown right, Ed Davy being the perfect example of the bourgeois man.
	In fact, he literally said, oh, i'm pitching my party to Middle England, which is why it's so devoid of politics, because politics requires you to take an affirmative position on something which will literally divide you from someone else.
	You will have to say no.
	If I have power, I will exercise my agency affirmatively in this direction and that will cut against other people who wish to affirmatively exercise their agency in another direction, and you know what that's going to be bad for them.
	But that's too bad, because I morally believe in what I think and what's Ed Davy's campaign?
	I'm going to a fucking theme park because I am a clown.
	That's what Ed Davies campaign is.
	Ed Davies campaign is the most incredible postmodern campaign you've ever seen because literally, politics for people who do not want to engage in politics, around the dinner table when they invite their friends over to show off the nice cutlery right, that's what the liberal Democrats are.
	That's what the bourgeoisie are, that's what the lanyard wearing classes of this country are when they aren't being woke.
	And even then, what does being woke mean?
	Being woke means never giving offense.
	It means never, never drawing a boundary so no one can find themselves on the outside of the boundary.
	They can't be like, oh well, actually I might be a bad person for the things i've done.
	No, that means bringing, bringing in everyone, unless you just don't agree, because you're not actually an immoral person, and a person not even immoral.
	You're not.
	You're not, you are not abnegated as an agent right, that's.
	That's the thing.
	If you believe that the human individual has agency, then i'm sorry.
	You can't really join Wokeism.
	You have to be a victim.
	You have to consider yourself in some way a victim of the system, or of other people, or of white supremacy, or of that evil right winger in the corner, whatever it is the point being, notice that the entire standard of entry to Wokeism is the abnegation of agency.
	Someone did something to me.
	I never do anything to everyone else.
	It is not a moral position, it is the absence Of morality, in fact, and that's why it was so fucking popular with the bourgeoisie, because that's that they're like, God, my hands are so soft.
	I don't have any agency.
	I don't do anything.
	I am the most pathetic, sniveling worm to have ever crawled on the earth.
	This morality suits me just fine.
	I love this morality.
	I just, I hate these people so much.
	I can't stand them.
	And so we're going to talk about them for a bit because I'm just, I'm just so angry with them.
	I'm just so angry that these are the people who get power.
	Not even power.
	I mean, they do have like administrative power, like they don't have power in the sense that we'd really expect it, but they have like administrative power, right?
	The bourgeoisie as a class has power, but they have wealth and status and they are on that they occupy positions of authority and they have the weakest wills in the world, right?
	They're the weakest people humanity has ever produced.
	And I can't stand it.
	And the thing is, right?
	And I just want to be clear.
	The British right at the moment, and I mean literally everyone outside of the bourgeois consensus on the British right, I actually respect every single one of them, right?
	Now, I don't agree with everything that they say.
	You can go from people like, you know, quite hardline people, like J.K. Rowling.
	I'm joking.
	You can go from like, you know, people, let's start with J.K. Rowling, right?
	J.K. Rowling, in most ways, is like a member of the bourgeois class herself, right?
	You would think in all ways that she was actually just one of them.
	Except she's shown herself not to be, right?
	She's shown herself to actually have some spine in her.
	There's some steel in JK Rowling.
	Because for the last 10 years, no, probably not in 10 years, probably like the last five years, she has been under a relentless assault from the little whiny attack dogs of woke the transgender movement, right?
	And they have been really, really horrible to her.
	And she has just told me, listen, zip it, shut the fuck up.
	I don't care.
	And I'm going to win.
	And I respect that fucking steel, right?
	That is not someone from the bourgeoisie, actually.
	That is someone with a bit of fight in them.
	And I respect it.
	And this is why, like, literally everyone, like Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, like Graham Linhan, like all of these people who have just decided, you know what, I just don't agree with all of this.
	Actually, I'm not going to be a sheep and go along with the consensus.
	I'm going to stand up and I'm going to say what I actually believe in.
	And I'm going to catch hell for this.
	But I believe it.
	And I'm going to stand by it.
	And I mean it, right?
	These are the people I actually respect in this country.
	If you are part of the consensus, if you're at the BBC going, well, I mean, I guess I agree that we should never have any agency and we should always just, you know, oh, look at the poor person there.
	Oh, look at that, that, that criminal didn't know any better.
	He's black and therefore systemically disenfranchised.
	It was just socioeconomic factors, bro.
	Whatever it is, right?
	Whatever the excuse that the left makes to abnegate themselves and not pass judgment, and that's what this is all about.
	I don't respect those people.
	And anyone who has stood up to this poisonous consensus, I think is a hero, right?
	I genuinely respect, even if on a personal level, I don't like them, even if their politics are something I disagree with, even if even if I think they're wrong on basically everything, I can respect that they stood up for it against the insufferable lanyard-wearing mob.
	I can respect the fact that they're like, you know, I'm actually going to get cancelled for this.
	And they have all been cancelled, obviously, to varying degrees.
	And yet they held their ground.
	I respect that.
	That is a moral agent.
	That is what a person who truly believes in something is actually like.
	And all of the sort of like, you know, the Stella Creases and the Jess Phillips and, you know, all of that kind of, you know, the mouthy gobs of the safe space that they occupy that's rapidly shrinking at the top of the ivory tower.
	I don't respect those people at all because they are taking refuge in the power that they are ensconced in.
	And in fact, many of them are kind of two-faced.
	Oh, yeah, no, we're just victims.
	We're just victims.
	But we do know how to dig in the knife.
	Right, we do know how to cut when it comes to it.
	But oh but, look at us as the victims, like no no no no, I know you're not a victim, I know you're actually sleazy, I know you're actually a snake.
	You're a serpent using this mask, this facade of victimhood, to hurt other people.
	That's what you are, and I see you, and so anyway, I didn't expect to go off on such a rant on this.
	Actually uh, I so I I do have something I want to talk about more properly, but this yeah, IPA drinking Twattery.
	Honestly, I just i'm, i'm so frustrated that more people can't see what I can see, like it's sorry, sorry.
	I can see what.
	I can demarcate you, the decent from the non-decent, and I can do it just like that.
	It's instinctive.
	Did this person just roll over?
	If they didn't, there must be something about them.
	They are actually a moral agent and they have actually got thoughts in their head.
	If they just rolled over, then they're just one of the, just one of them, just one of them.
	I can't stand it anyway, let me.
	Let me give you some examples of what i'm talking about, right?
	So this chap called Rory Sutherland.
	Now, I wasn't really familiar with Rory Sutherland until the other day, but he writes for the Spectator every fortnight.
	He's written a series of books and he's an advertising executive and uh, he's one of those people who apparently is prepared to say things that they just don't want to hear, right?
	So this clip's going around working class versus middle class mindset.
	Now, the bourgeoisie is, of course, the middle class the burgers of a city is where the word comes from and they've always been the same.
	They're basically the same people from about the 1500s till now, and it is insufferable.
	I'm going to let you watch this.
	This is just gold.
	Working class people, for example, or people uh, you know, less educated, are somehow massively manipulable and in the grip of totally ridiculous forces.
	Do you really think middle class educated people aren't in the grip of ludicrous social conventions and constraints?
	I'd say they're more so.
	I think you get you get independent opinion from working class people and you get it from aristocrats who don't give a.
	I think the upper middle class in the Uk is reputationally paranoid, is incapable of expressing opinions that might get them disinvited from dinner parties.
	This idea that there's this weird sort of you know, manipulation going on uh, among ordinary people and they're being completely misled okay, or you know, in the grip of demagogues, whereas somehow everybody who's got some fantasy damn degree is wonderfully objective and wise, absolute bull.
	Middle class people are incapable of independent thought because they're so reputationally paranoid and so fragile in terms of their careers.
	It's what I call, you know, mental nudism.
	I always ask the question.
	It purely interests me.
	Okay, how many people do you think would be naturists if there were no social constraint on the behavior?
	But i'm not talking about wandering around a shopping mall with no clothes on, but at the beach, I don't know quite a lot of people, right.
	The reason we don't is that is not because we wouldn't enjoy it, it's because of the social constraints on the behavior or the associations.
	Okay, I don't know about the nudism bit, but this, this bit here, is just so good right, I like.
	I like his uh point about them.
	So he is right that aristocrats and working class people right, Are actually independently minded, right?
	Because an aristocrat has his position through heredity, so you can't take it away.
	So it doesn't matter what he says or thinks, he can be as extravagant as he wants.
	He is still going to be like the firstborn son of the Lord or whatever it is.
	And so it doesn't matter what he does in his entire existence.
	His position in life is fixed.
	It is secure.
	And in a way, the same kind of goes for the working class guy, right?
	Because he's always going to be at the bottom of that pile.
	So what does he stand to lose if he has his own opinions and doesn't agree with the herd?
	Well, nothing, actually.
	He's still going to have to get up and go labor with his hands tomorrow.
	And so it doesn't matter what he actually thinks and what he actually says.
	You need the food harvested.
	You need the bricks laid.
	You need whatever it is that they do, the plumbing, whatever job you're talking about from the working class background.
	It doesn't matter what he says because he provides something essential, right?
	He physically does something with his hands that the middle class do not do.
	And I just want to be clear, I'm not in the middle class.
	I don't work with my hands.
	I have worked with my hands in the past because I've been very poor.
	But I'm not claiming to be a part of the working class or the aristocracy, just FYI, by the way, when I talk about all of this.
	And I think that's why I know what they're like so very well, actually.
	So the working class person doesn't stand to lose that much by his speech, right?
	For him, the family networks that he's embedded in are thick, they're tough.
	And yes, they are family bonds can be strained from for various reasons.
	But he is kind of fixed in his position in the world, right?
	And that honestly is a strength.
	But the middle class person, the middle class person isn't, right?
	They know that actually they occupy a position of tension from which they could drop down and they could be reduced.
	And that is terrifying to them because obviously it's well outside of their experience.
	They don't want to lose their status.
	Nobody wants to lose status.
	But also, it would mean a substantive change in their own lifestyles.
	And they've come to very much enjoy their lifestyles.
	Their lifestyles are very convenient, very comfortable, very nice.
	They get to have their little holidays to wherever they go.
	You know, the fancy bloody holidays, skiing holidays, whatever it is.
	They go to the beach, they drink champagne, they have their dinner parties amongst one another, and they enjoy a honestly, the life at the end of history.
	They're having a great time and they don't want to give it up.
	And so what does that make them?
	And he says here, reputationally paranoid.
	This is a superb turn of phrase.
	And it's so true because their status relies on the goodwill of their fellow bourgeoisie.
	The fellow middle class people are the people they rely on for their status for social interaction.
	Because being part of the bourgeoisie, they are incredibly social people.
	They go to each other's dinner parties.
	They get invited to like, you know, you see all of the events and stuff like that.
	They do like, you know, all the sort of like award ceremonies and stuff like that.
	You don't, you don't get those people who are like, you know, how many, how many award ceremonies has Ricky Gervais been invited back to after you call them all a bunch of nonsense, right?
	Like they, they, they love their status symbols and they love assembling in public to appreciate their own status and validate other people's status.
	And they have always been this way.
	Rousseau, in fact, has a great line on this on the discourse of inequality.
	I've probably mentioned this before, but it is so good.
	And he so summarizes what these people are that he just absolutely nails it.
	So he is comparing them to, he's comparing the bourgeoisie to the savages, the pre-social men.
	And they're not actually pre-social, but like the pre-civilizational men, right?
	The Caribbeans, the natives of the Caribbean before they got exterminated, of the Americas.
	And he's saying, look, these people are not like our people, the civilized men, because these people would see the things that the civilized men do as slavery.
	He says, the savage man and civilized man differ so much at bottom in point of inclinations and passions.
	What constitutes the supreme happiness of the one would reduce the other to despair.
	And that's so true.
	Put the bourgeois man in the position of the savage, where he's got to go and hunt, physically jog, run and down a prey.
	He's got to go and actually physically craft a spear or whatever it is, and light a fire or whatever it is with his bare hands.
	And man, the average middle class person would rather fucking kill themselves, right?
	But then you put the savage in the position where he has to drudge to his last minute.
	Nay, you know, he renounces life to acquire immortality.
	He cringes to men in power whom he hates and to rich men whom he despises.
	He sticks at nothing to have the honor of serving them.
	He is not ashamed to value himself in his own weakness and the protection they afford him.
	He is proud of his chains.
	He speaks with disdain of those who have not the honor of being partnered in his bondage.
	Now that, think of the average BBC journo, right?
	They fucking hate the rich.
	Or not just BBC, but just the average journal.
	They hate the rich, they hate the powerful, and yet they're totally enthralled to them.
	And they will pour scorn on you or Tommy Robinson or anyone else for being outside of the club.
	If you aren't in the club, pathetic peasant.
	Yeah, I hate the people above me.
	I hate them because they're rich.
	I hate them because they're more powerful than me.
	I hate them because they have a status I'll never have.
	But my status is above yours because of them and therefore pour scorn down on you.
	Because this is the difference between the savage man and the bourgeois man.
	The savage man lives within himself in his own opinion, whereas the citizen, the bourgeois man, constantly beside himself, knows only how to live in the opinion of others.
	And that is the problem of the bourgeoisie.
	He literally, as he says, merely from their judgment that he derives the consciousness of his own existence.
	The bourgeois man, the middle class, cannot live in themselves because their entire career, their entire status as bourgeois men is reliant upon the opinions of other people.
	The aristocrat was put there by God.
	He doesn't matter.
	He doesn't care what you think of him because at the end of the day, he's got lineal privilege.
	And the working class man doesn't have any status at all, does he?
	So it doesn't matter what you think of him.
	What you can do is reduce him.
	He's at the bottom.
	But the bourgeois needs other people to recognize them as bourgeois, as middle class, in order to invite them to these little gatherings, these little ceremonies, their little clubs to make them agree that they are all slightly better than those people,
	but not as great as the people who have to employ them, whom they are loath to hate, loathe, absolutely loathe, proud to despise, and yet worship the veneration of the institutions in which they get to abide.
	These people are honestly the most cowardly, pathetic people in the world.
	And I just hate him.
	I mean, it's the reason.
	And this is what the club is, right?
	Is why it's so bizarre to me how, and you would think Robespierre was a bourgeois twat.
	Shut up.
	You would think, right, after a million people were brought out into the streets by Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk, the richest, most followed man in the world, broadcasts in to Tommy's rally to talk to him for like 30 minutes.
	So it's not even like a five-minute thing.
	It's 30 minutes, right?
	In front of a million people in the street, let alone God knows how many millions online.
	Watch this.
	And yet not one newspaper has done an interview with Tommy Robinson.
	Not one.
	How is it that the BBC can justify to themselves to not interview this person?
	Zach Polanski is on TV all the time.
	He's, what, 12% in the polls and he's got a party of 80,000 people.
	Okay, great.
	Tommy can literally mobilize millions.
	Like, but you don't want to hear from them.
	And yet you do want to hear from goddamn any, any middle-class left-wing person on the earth can get a spot on the TV.
	And the reason is because Tommy is not in the club.
	He is, no matter what his economic status is or his fame is, he is coded as working class.
	He's coded as low status to them.
	And so they are coded, intrinsically hard-coded to go, he is essentially a threat to our status.
	If we recognize him as an equal or even as a superior, then we threaten losing our own status in society.
	And so no matter what he does, no matter how much he shows that he is the mainstream, like his numbers obviously are dwarfing.
	Like you look at his Twitter numbers, he'll post them regularly.
	And it's just like, oh, I've got a billion in this month or whatever it is.
	And it's like, Jesus Christ.
	Like the number of impressions he's getting on Twitter is just unbelievable.
	And these people are like, well, I mean, you know, we've got to keep him on the outside.
	It's like, what do you mean him on the outside?
	Like, we represent the mainstream.
	You guys are in your ivory tower, like, like a ship of fools sailing off into a stormy sea.
	And the seas, the waves are just getting higher and higher.
	And you're like, yeah, well, you know, we'll just ignore those and talk to each other rather than actually interfacing with why the sea is so stormy.
	Like, how is it possible that Tommy hasn't been interviewed by a single one of these newspapers and these media outlets?
	What?
	I mean, the BBC have an obligation to interview him.
	Have an obligation to at least have some sort of dialogue.
	Say, right, what is going on?
	Why is this happening?
	We are the British Broadcasting Corporation.
	You are legally obligated to give us money if you watch TV in this country.
	Therefore, are we not morally obligated to represent everyone in the country?
	You'd be like, okay, well, we need to make sure that, you know, we've only got a certain number of hours in the day.
	So we'll have to choose those things that are kind of important.
	It's like, okay, well, this guy got like a million people out in the streets.
	Is that kind of important?
	And the answer is obviously yes.
	But the reason that you don't is because he is coded working class and you are middle class shitheels afraid of actually engaging with him.
	You need to be interviewing people from the rally on your shows.
	Get Tommy Robinson on question time.
	He has earned it.
	He deserves it.
	He should be heard whether you agree with him or not.
	And yet you're too afraid because the bourgeoisie are fucking cowards.
	They're just nothing but cowards.
	And it's this conformity that drives me crazy, right?
	So I was watching this clip earlier.
	Why does Kierst Lama really want digital ID?
	And at no point in this, at no point whatsoever, is the concept of civil liberties brought up.
	They bring up how, oh, well, I mean, you know, in fact, it's about two minutes in.
	I think we'll watch a bit of it just because it is just so archetypal of how the lanyard-wearing bourgeois women are acting.
	Behind the policy come from a report by Labour Together, the think tank that we've all heard so much about, that they published in June that was looking at how digital ID cards could solve not just the illegal immigration challenge, but all kinds of other things as well.
	And some of the answers to these questions are in that report, although they haven't been communicated at all by the government.
	To start off with on the smartphone question, I went on the gov.uk website and they actually have a sort of answer to this, which is, you know, what will you do about digital inclusion?
	And the answer is they're going to have a consultation about it.
	And they are thinking very carefully.
	They are aware that not everyone has a smartphone.
	They're aware that not everyone is tech savvy.
	There will be a consultation about alternatives.
	One possibility is that people will get a physical card if they want to opt into that as opposed to having it on their phones.
	One option, sort of a way of thinking about it is it's less a card and it's more a big digital centralized government database.
	And if you're registered appropriately on the system, whether you have the app or you have the card or not, somebody can check that you're on there.
	you up so it's kind of more of a so it's a bit like when you go to the hospital you don't really need your nhs number because they have details about you on their system without a number kind of thing yeah Yeah, but the number is the kind of thing that links you to the database.
	Although one of the things this is meant to do is join up your NHS number, your passport number, your driving license number, your tax number, your national insurance number, like all of those things.
	Which brings us nicely on to that next question about, you know, what's the real reason for this for this measure?
	Because actually, I've been speaking to people at Labour Conference who know a lot about policy who have said the worst argument for national ID cards is the reducing illegal immigration one.
	It's actually far more useful in terms of a joined up state.
	I mean, I just cannot believe what I'm hearing.
	In any other time or place, if someone was like, right, I would like the state to have all of the information about society.
	I would like it to be as centralized as humanly possible.
	So, I mean, if, you know, if it was in previous areas, it had been done by paper.
	But it would end up sounding like the Soviet Union if you were to describe what it is they actually want to do.
	And yet these two middle-class bourgeois, cowardly, amoral women are something going, well, I mean, like, you know, actually, the immigration thing is actually not the most persuasive argument.
	Turning the state into a nightmare totalitarian dystopia is the most persuasive argument.
	It's not makes life so much easier.
	It's like, I mean, have you not thought?
	Like, the question of civil liberties just disappears from their minds entirely.
	Because as far as they're concerned, Keir Stahlma is the avatar of bourgeois man, right?
	And he really is.
	Labour is the avatar of a bourgeois Government, of course, conservatives are coded aristocratic, right?
	Labor used to be coded working class, but they got subverted by the middle class by Tony Blair.
	And so now we have got this idea that, and in fact, it's a very bourgeois state that's kind of transcending democracy and into merely administration, right?
	But this, these, these two women are just sat there talking about the most you again, you couldn't get a more totalitarian state, right?
	We have maximal surveillance, we have face cameras, face tracking software through the cameras, and then we want every piece of information that could be held on you kept in one giant government database and the government and all of the state apparatus to have perfect access to it at all times with no limits whatsoever.
	And so, right, that's fucking suicidal, right?
	For a civilization, for a citizen, for an individual subject of the state, you would think that would be a suicidal proposition.
	And all of English political history has been the drive away from that.
	And yet, here they are discussing it as if it's well, why wouldn't you want that?
	Why wouldn't you?
	I'm a fucking coward, they say.
	I will never oppose the state.
	I will never oppose the government because I have no morality of my own.
	I do what I'm told.
	I am the most harmless person in the world.
	I'm the most harmless creature to have ever walked God's green earth.
	So, the tyrants in charge will never see me as a threat.
	So, why would I be worried about them having dystopic control over my entire life?
	The ability to intercede in transactions that I make is something I want the government to have because they'll never intercede in one of my transactions because I do exactly as I'm told all the fucking time and I 100% support the government.
	It's like, wow, you are the most, I can't, you are lower than a worm.
	You are genuinely lower than a worm.
	A worm has more agency than you do.
	It is absolutely disgusting that the idea of civil liberties just hasn't come up.
	What do you mean, civil liberties?
	We are all subjects of the bourgeois state.
	And it's like, no, I'm sorry.
	I'm just done with this.
	I am absolutely done with this.
	This is just unacceptable in all ways.
	In every time and place, this is an unacceptable proposition.
	And the fact that these middle-class women are okay with it just makes me think less of them and the entire middle class by extension.
	This is unacceptable.
	And at least, and this is where this is one of those things.
	Someone's like, dislike the video.
	There's no point.
	It's hidden, isn't it?
	But this is one of those things.
	Even the Liberal Democrats were like, we do have a doctrine on this, don't we?
	Yeah, we've got dogma.
	I hate to do it, guys, but we're going to have to be like, yeah, we're not really for digital ID.
	And the thing is, in this, they're like, so it's just like, oh, it's just like the NHS when the NHS got your information.
	Okay, bro, I don't know how to put this, but the NHS can't fucking arrest me, right?
	The NHS has no power to knock down my door in the middle of the night and fucking arrest me for what I tweeted, right?
	And this, Twitter patrolling is the most bourgeois thing you could possibly do, right?
	So you'll notice that Russia, they only arrest something like it's in the hundreds.
	I can't remember exactly how many it is.
	I think it's in the hundreds.
	Maybe it's a couple of thousand a year, right?
	Because they are a tyrannical gangster state.
	And so Putin is like, well, obviously, the journalists have to be locked up.
	A couple of them are going to disappear, blah, blah, blah, because I don't want them being an institutional structural threat to my hegemony here.
	And you think, okay, yeah, that makes sense.
	But actually, sharing opinions is actually a lot worse because sharing facts, that's bad for Russia, but sharing opinions is way worse for the bourgeois state.
	Because of course, if all of their worldview is based in the regard people have for one another, then yeah, crossing those lines threatens the entire system.
	It imperils everything.
	It's not just like, you know, one of Putin's gangster henchmen gets revealed as being corrupt or something and then gets taken down by a court or whatever it is, right?
	No, no, no.
	It is the entire bourgeois class.
	If you are allowed to do hate speech or xenophobia or racism or whatever, whatever, all the categories, right?
	If one of those is allowed, and this is why the transphobia issue is actually so important.
	If one of these categories is allowed, it throws into doubt the very nature of the bourgeois censorship machine.
	Actually, there doesn't have to just be a consensus on absolutely everything.
	Actually, it doesn't have to be that we are only valued by the shared opinions that we all have.
	And this is why they're constantly calling for unity as well, fundamentally.
	Like, they can't stand the idea that there are essentially rogue ideas and factions running around in society with people who don't care about other people's opinions.
	Like, I don't care about their opinion of me.
	I just don't care about their opinion of basically anything.
	And that's why I am a savage to them.
	And they treat you like a savage.
	They think that if you have an affirmative and agentic moral view of the world, then you are in fact a bad person because what the point of morality to these people is, is to become utterly harmless, completely harmless.
	And I'm sorry, I'm just not, I don't think I'm harmless, actually.
	And I don't consent to being harmless.
	I don't think this is actually something that makes people good, like I said at the beginning.
	And this, this whole, this whole moral or absence of moral, this, this, this moral void that they exist in, they, because they are the bourgeoisie, because they are living in each other's opinions, they are fundamentally social creatures.
	And so your reputation matters, right?
	Reputation above all.
	Now, I actually don't think about my reputation.
	I never really have, which probably why I've been smacked in the face a bunch of times by the press.
	But it's not something I personally am very concerned about because I've always been like, well, I don't necessarily work with my hands, but I kind of do, if you know what I mean.
	Like, I'm not reliant on other people for my income or my life.
	Or, I mean, I am reliant on you guys, but like in the way that I feel like I'm laboring, right?
	I don't know how to describe it.
	I read a lot of books.
	I make videos.
	This to me is all labor that I do on my own.
	And then I put it on the internet and numbers happen.
	But like, I'm not in a room with people.
	I'm not embarrassed in front of people, you know, and I'm not embarrassed in front of people very often anyway, even when I'm with people.
	But they are.
	They're very concerned about that kind of thing.
	I mean, I don't go to dinner parties, for example.
	So that kind of thing doesn't bother me at all.
	And so I feel like I labor.
	And so I feel like I'm actually living in the mold of a working class person in my mind, right?
	I work, I do my research, I come to my conclusions, I make my videos, I make my arguments, and then I don't really care what people think of those arguments.
	And it's not that I don't read my comments, I do read my comments.
	But it's not because I want, like, you know, I'm like, oh, validation.
	I read my comments in case someone's like, no, no, you've made a mistake here.
	And I, and I, back in the beginning of my career, I tell you what, man, I learned a lot from my fucking comments.
	And I still do, but like, I make fewer mistakes these days because I've got more degrees now, frankly, than because my education has all been done in public, right?
	But I, so I'm sure I make fewer mistakes now.
	But I used to learn a hell of a lot.
	And people are like, no, no, chat, watch this, but you know, you've got to, you know, pick yourself up here or whatever.
	And that was so useful.
	And that's, and I still read my comments to this day for that reason, looking for people who are like, you got this wrong.
	So I can fix myself, so I can self-improve.
	But these people, for them, it's not about self-improvement, right?
	It's about making sure that the people around them are all in agreement with them and that they have the consensus.
	They need the consensus.
	Like, if you look at the British Right, like very few people actually really properly agree with one another, right?
	Like, we're all, as far as I can tell, a lot of us are genuinely quite friendly towards each other.
	But there is also a lot of disagreement.
	It's just, it's not really that important.
	It's okay to disagree.
	Like, I can disagree with whoever on whatever subject and agree with them on a different subject.
	And even if I disagree with them on anything, I could probably still go for a beer with them, right?
	It doesn't actually matter that much whether we agree politically.
	But for these people, it is the very essence of their entire class that they all politically agree.
	It's the very nature of what they are separate to the working class.
	It's what validates them.
	It is what makes them feel human.
	Without this kind of validation, without the reciprocal, living in one another's opinions, they don't feel like human beings.
	So this is so core to their being that I can't emphasize it enough.
	And so when one they think one of them steps out of line, right, what do they do?
	What is the worst thing you can do to a member of the bourgeoisie?
	What is the very, very worst thing you can do to them?
	Reputational destruction.
	That's what they do.
	They are like bitchy women.
	And I'm not trying to pick on the new statesman women here, actually.
	It's basically all of them who are reputationally paranoid.
	It's not just these people.
	It's all of them.
	And so I'm sorry that she's on screen because I'm not actually deliberately targeting her.
	I mean, for her, I don't know who this is, by the way, I don't know the name of this woman.
	She is just an example of this kind of thing.
	And she's doubtless not anywhere near the worst example.
	Like, you know, there are going to be far worse ones.
	In fact, let's get some far worse ones.
	How about led by donkeys?
	Let's fucking go for led by donkeys.
	Reputational destruction is what they try to do.
	And they think that this is the worst thing that they can do to a person.
	Now, I think the worst thing you can do to a person is physical, right?
	I think that physically that's the worst thing you can do to a person.
	But the worst thing they think is I'm going to strip you of the confirmation that you get by being held in high esteem by your peers.
	That's genuinely for them the end of life.
	And they don't know how to recover from it.
	Now, like I said, I personally don't give a flying fuck.
	Like people like Tommy Robinson, people like Katie Hopkins, people like J.K. Rowling, who live in themselves, who live in their own opinions, are actually morally convinced that they are right for reasons that they themselves have come to a conclusion on.
	They can stand up to this.
	They can stand up to the reputation destruction.
	And all of the people I'm talking about have been through the fire.
	And I mean, you've seen it if you followed this for any amount of time.
	And Liz Truss had to go through the fire too.
	Because this campaign of humiliation against Liz Truss was one of the just most insufferable things I've ever seen.
	Now, I've got to be honest, when I first heard of Liz Truss as a politician years ago, I wasn't, I didn't think anything of her, really.
	She just seemed like one of them.
	She was a Liberal Democrat, and then she became a conservative.
	And then she became Prime Minister, and she was middling, I guess I would have said.
	And I'm not trying to be offensive.
	I actually now completely respect Liz Truss because she went through the fire.
	She found the steel in her spine and she told them all to fuck themselves.
	And I respect that, right?
	I respect the fact that she's like, no, I'm right.
	You're wrong.
	And fuck yourselves, right?
	Because this campaign of humiliation, genuinely really upped her in my estimation because of the way she handled it with dignity, but also because of the cruelty that was just flung at her by tens of thousands of these people, right?
	Who were taking safety, taking refuge in being a part of the mob rather than actually analyzing what had happened, right?
	They were like, oh, thank God, they're throwing the tomatoes and the lettuces at someone else in the stocks.
	I'm not the one in the stocks.
	And like fucking cowards, they gleefully picked up their metaphorical fruit and threw it at her via the medium of Twitter or whatever, Facebook, you know, websites, news articles, whatever it is.
	They gleefully threw things at her because they were just like, thank God, this isn't me.
	Thank God I get to exercise the kind of catharsis of chucking out the heretic who dared question the orthodoxy and I'm not the one in trouble.
	This feels so good.
	It feels so good to be part of the mob who gets to find what they consider to be a righteous target, a target who challenged the consensus, challenged the middle-class, safe, lanyard-wearing consensus.
	And they were like, thank fuck, I'm going to destroy this.
	Oh, look at this.
	Ha ha ha.
	Laugh.
	We're going to degrade her status.
	We're going to reduce her status by humiliating her over and over and over.
	And this went on for years, right?
	It still goes on.
	They talk about less.
	But it still goes on.
	Led by Donkeys did something like, I think it was last year about her.
	It's like, Keir Starmer's in power.
	She hasn't been in power for two years.
	What the fuck are you doing?
	Why the fuck are you still talking about it?
	It's because she becomes the acceptable target of vitriol because she stepped outside of the bourgeois consensus.
	Now, this honestly went on for ages and it was really just gross to watch.
	Absolutely gross.
	And like, look at it.
	Like, what are you doing?
	What are you doing?
	Like, just pure humiliation from them to the point where Led by Donkeys like, oh, look at this.
	I crashed the economy lettuce that unfurls on stage when she's releasing her book.
	This is in 2024, right?
	This is literally last year.
	Keir Starmer is in power.
	Liz Truss has not been in power for two years and yet they're still banging on about Liz Truss because she became the acceptable target of the middle class hate mob, right?
	That's what it was.
	And so they were just like, right, we can continue this campaign of bullying, of reduction, of humiliation, of shame at Liz Truss because she is an acceptable target to us.
	But the thing is, and oh my God, I fucking hate it, right?
	So, I mean, like, in any other time of place, like, you know, a woman being bullied by a bunch of men would actually have, I don't know, maybe upset some feminists.
	Maybe Jess Phillips or Estella Creasy might be like, hmm, there is a gender diamond.
	No, nothing of that because, of course, it's all about the in-group and the out-group.
	These are middle-class bourgeois white women.
	Therefore, they agree with the orthodoxy, like these guys.
	Liz Truss has just stepped slightly outside of it and said, look, I think we need to do things differently, chaps.
	And right, send the attack dogs.
	Send these fucking weak.
	I mean, look at them.
	Look at them.
	Do you think any of these men would even dare have an unorthodox opinion on anything?
	Like, when they're sat down at the next dinner party, they go to, oh, yeah, I'm part of Led by Donkeys, you know, pass me the IPA bit.
	Thank you.
	Oh, we got Liz Truss good, didn't we, chaps?
	Do you think they would ever have a fucking opinion that's outside of the state-approved range of opinions?
	Of course not.
	Look at them.
	They are physically weak.
	They are weak men.
	They are pathetic.
	And they're like, I've never been so driven to mock Liz Truss.
	Have you not noticed that the government is bringing in a dystopian, tyrannical digital ID?
	Like, it's Orwell on steroids.
	Orwell couldn't conceive of a world as dystopian as the Labour Party are making.
	And yet you're like, yeah, but check out Liz Truss, right?
	This is disgraceful.
	Now, I just want to be clear.
	Liz Truss did not crash the economy.
	She didn't crash the economy, right?
	Things are worse now than under Liz Truss with the guilt yields.
	And the argument that they make is like, well, I mean, this is not the same.
	It may be that Rachel Reeves has made it worse on the bond market than it was under Liz Truss.
	But but, uh, it was specific government policies that were leading to a specific market reaction, which was immediately very dangerous.
	That's not where we are.
	Yeah, we're in a way worse place than that, actually.
	We're in a way worse place because actually we don't have enough money.
	She's going to have to start raising taxes.
	And of course, we're now in the doom loop, spiraling down and down and down.
	But it doesn't matter because Rachel Reeves is in the approved opinions club of bourgeois cowards.
	And Liz Truss was like, actually, we do need to start reducing the amount of state spending if we think that the country should actually continue to exist in the future.
	And so now it's like, well, I mean, like, fuck off.
	Absolutely fuck off.
	So you can just go to, oh, I don't know.
	Let's check a conservative think tank, right?
	Conservative think tank.
	So this is a conservative think tank led by Dr. Andrew Lilko, who just conservative economists, Dr. John Spicer, again.
	Like these, these are just, it's a series of very well-credentialed economists in London, and you can hire their services to do economic analyses.
	And they produced a report last year, and they were just like, did Liz Truss crash the economy?
	And if we just skip to the conclusion, the economy did not crash by any understanding of an economic crash that economists would normally recognize.
	The financial volatility of late 2022 did not create material enduring economic effects that could be understood as crashing the economy, even by some very loose understanding of that term.
	Even in the respect of the financial period of volatility itself, which was manifestly not crashing of the economy, it is implausible that the mini budget played a significant role other than as a component of a trigger.
	The crisis was demonstrably not a sovereign debt crisis.
	Rather, it was the consequence, perhaps even a consequence of what was inevitably going to occur at some point of the normalization of interest rates in an inflationary environment, given the liquidity vulnerabilities of the LDI pension funds.
	I'm not an economist.
	I don't know what that fucking means, right?
	But the point is, a bunch of professional economists are like, well, the economy didn't crash.
	So why are these fucking shitlibs constantly saying the UK economy crashed?
	Because they don't know and it doesn't matter.
	The facts of it don't matter.
	The hyper-reality of being in the bourgeois social club, the absence of morality to be included in that group is what matters.
	It doesn't matter that the economy didn't crash.
	It doesn't matter that what they're saying isn't true.
	It doesn't matter that they are bullying a woman for trying to do the right thing.
	None of this matters.
	What matters is recognition from their peers as being as morally absent as the rest of them.
	That's what matters to these people.
	And I fucking hate them for it.
	I fucking hate them.
	And I swear to God, right, this is just insufferable watching, say, the New Statesman podcast.
	I was watching this today because it came up in my, just, you know, the autoplay that comes around.
	I was listening to this podcast.
	Aghast.
	Fucking aghast.
	So of course, right, they end up talking about Liz Truss on this podcast.
	And they're like, ha ha.
	Yeah, it was, it was fun mocking Liz Truss.
	It's like, well, do you think it was fun for Liz?
	Do you think she was having a great time where literally every bourgeois prick in the country was just literally just humiliating her on a daily basis for months, for years on end?
	Do you think that was fun to you?
	Because actually, I don't think that looks very fun, right?
	I actually think that looks horrible and that actually seems really cruel.
	I actually don't think, I mean, I don't do that.
	I don't do that to someone.
	I don't think you should do that.
	And I don't, like, I, even if, even if someone does something that I think deserves it, when everyone is piling on, I guess I'm that one person who's like, okay, I don't want to just be a part of the mob.
	But also, things are very rarely just cut and dried in that way, right?
	They're very rarely like all of one thing or none of another, right?
	Like, so, you know, in that circumstance, I tend to find myself wanting to play devil's advocate just because I don't like that kind of polarization fundamentally.
	But anyway, right?
	They have a good laugh.
	I mean, you'll see the lettuce on the table there.
	But that's actually there for a point in this podcast.
	Because in this podcast, three years later, they're like, well, we were humiliating Liz Truss because she was right.
	We were going out of our way to reputationally destroy her because she was correct and it made us all look bad.
	And we don't like looking bad because our entire self-worth is predicated on each other having a high opinion of ourselves.
	And the agreed standard is being a woke pussy.
	And Liz Truss was like not being a woke pussy, actually.
	And, you know, if you're not being a woke pussy, then we as a cowardly gang of vipers will come and stab you as much as possible, bite you with our poison fangs.
	But three years on, when Labor's in exactly when Labor's in a worse position, they've got to admit Liz Truss was right.
	We're going to watch this.
	It's three minutes, so it's quite a long clip.
	But honestly, just think about this.
	So the Bank of England had for a long time been planning to do quantitative tightening, which is the reverse of quantitative easing.
	So quantitative easing is buying bonds in order to push up their prices.
	And quantitative tightening is selling bonds, which obviously, you know, the more supply you have into a market, that is going to affect the demand and therefore the price is paid.
	Now, the Bank of England had been planning to do this for a long time.
	It did issue market notices and that kind of thing.
	And it said what its strategy was going to be.
	But, and this, as far as Liz Truss is concerned, is the sort of smoking gun.
	The day before the mini budget was announced by Quasi Kwatang in the House of Commons, the Bank of England published this minutes from this meeting that said, we're going to reduce the bonds we hold by £80 billion.
	And that's going to involve selling about £40 billion worth of bonds over the next year.
	So the market is hearing three things.
	First of all, the government is going to sell an unknown but probably pretty chunky amount of bonds to the market in order to pay people's energy bills or some of them.
	It's going to sell £72 billion worth of bonds to the market in order to pay for the tax cuts that they had planned.
	But then also the bank is going to sell £40 billion worth of bonds to the market to get rid of them in case it needs to do QE again and just to get its assets back down.
	So should it be the case that the bank should be allowed to kind of go first with that announcement?
	Should monetary policy come in front of fiscal policy?
	Good fucking question.
	What do you think is where, if Liz Truss has a point, that is probably where the point is.
	You know, she was voted for, you know, by conservative members, but she was also, you know, she was the prime minister of an elected government.
	Yes.
	Whereas, you know, how many people in this country could name the government over the Bank of England or describe what it does?
	You know, so I think there is a problem in this story that has built up around the phenomenon of the lettuce and all the fun everyone had with the destruction of Liz Truss's political career.
	Oh, this fact.
	You know, should it be the case that the plans of elected politicians can potentially be sort of allowed to collapse by the other technocrats within the government?
	You know, and to what extent is that something that needs clearing up?
	You know, to what extent is it a democratic issue?
	Yeah, I totally agree with you about that because there were a lot of people on the left who sort of delighted in Liz Truss's downfall.
	And, you know, you even speak to that campaign group led by donkeys who humiliated her at her book launch.
	But now they're sort of suffering from it in the same way, aren't they?
	Because the Labour government seems to be hamstrung by this sort of fear of the bond market's reaction to any policies that it wants to introduce, including things that would require sort of a lot of spending and a lot of borrowing interventions in the market, things that Liz Truss was actually trying to do.
	So there's an irony there, isn't there?
	Because maybe the real villain is the way that that setup kind of ties the hands of politicians, even prime ministers, when they're in power, which is one of Liz Truss's critiques.
	Hello?
	What are we saying here?
	What we're saying here is that Britain is in the grip of a major constitutional crisis where a non-governmental organization has the power to overthrow prime ministers.
	And what the bourgeois lanyard-wearing, cowardly class did is laugh at the person, destroy the person that the bank unseated.
	Your fucking response was to lean into what you perceive to be the locus of power and say, ha ha, you deserve it for challenging them.
	What did you think you were?
	Prime minister or something?
	What do you think you were?
	Elected?
	Do you like the idea that this guy's a conservatives that voted for her?
	Okay, but this is a structural systemic issue that has thrown our country into a constitutional crisis.
	And you fucking cowards three years later are like, yeah, well, I mean, she did have a point.
	She was correct.
	This is actually a question of civil liberties if you care about such things.
	This is actually a question of the very nature of the relationship between the individual and the state.
	But I mean, like, like we saw with the digital ID segment, these people can't imagine that they will be on the receiving end of it because they are too weak and too cowardly.
	They're such slugs.
	They will never accomplish anything.
	They'll never go anywhere or challenge anything.
	But the thing is, don't they realize that, in fact, the state is not infallible, right?
	What if they're on the receiving end of someone who just doesn't like them?
	Who just decides, actually, I'm just going to use the state maliciously against you?
	Or, God forbid, an administrative error that just locks you out of everything, that just does whatever it wants.
	Or maybe one day the bankers have decided, actually, we've just, we just don't need you anymore.
	Actually, we're just going to follow whatever Tony Blair's plan for the technocratic Gaza is.
	And we're just going to strip away all of these things.
	And we're just going to reduce you to serfs.
	And you're weak and you're compliant and you'll never do anything about it.
	So why would we care about your opinion?
	And we take away the luxuries that you thought you were permitted until that point.
	You don't worry about that in the future.
	You don't worry about any of these things.
	And you don't worry that maybe one day Nigel Farage, like, let's say Nigel Farage is really hiding his power levels when he's going to win the next election.
	What happens when he gets in and actually is like, actually, the one thing I can do is legislate.
	I'm going to legislate the shit out of the Bank of England or whatever it is.
	And, you know, just any of it, the Kwangocracy.
	I'm going to destroy what Liz Truss calls the blob.
	I'm just going to destroy it all.
	And I can do with legislation because it's the one power basically they have left.
	And what happens then?
	Or what happens when Nigel Farrell takes over and starts installing all of his guys in these positions?
	Do you want a dystopian technocratic state that has access to absolutely everything in all places and all times, led by radical right-wingers?
	Are you worried about minorities?
	Are you worried about transgenderism?
	Are you worried about immigrants?
	Are you worried about marginalized peoples?
	Are you worried about the balance of power shifting?
	Because again, in this podcast, they do say, well, I mean, yeah, the world has shifted right-wing very severely in the last couple of years.
	It's like, oh, no, sorry, that was another podcast with Andrew, Andrew Maher.
	But it was the one that I was watching that ticked over onto this one.
	But he's like, oh, yeah, the world's shifted, really right-wing.
	I just can't explain it.
	It's like, yeah, well, aren't you worried that you've set up all of these powers for the radical right-wing and they'll use them against you?
	Like, you've got no foresight.
	Foresight is for people who think for themselves and come to their own conclusions.
	You are a creature of consensus.
	I mean, look at this guy.
	Can you imagine him?
	Like, this is the closest he can come to standing up against the consensus.
	Three years later, he's like, well, Liz Trust is right.
	And actually we're in a constitutional crisis.
	And, you know, don't crucify the messenger, right?
	But this is in the wake of Andy Burnham being like, yeah, okay, actually, what was the exact word?
	He says, we've got to get beyond this thing of being in hock to the bond markets.
	And everyone's like, no, Andy, that would crash the economy.
	The received wisdom is it would lead to a Liz Truss meltdown.
	So we've covered this.
	There was no economic crash.
	They didn't crash.
	It's just bond yields didn't went up or whatever it is.
	The amount we've got pay on debt basically increased.
	Okay, that sucks.
	But that happens every fucking day anyway.
	Like, that's another day ending in Y. That's already way worse where Reeves is.
	So it's not like, like, we're not talking about something honest.
	What we are talking about is you guys being afraid to go against the received wisdom of the Lanyard bourgeois coward class.
	That's what this all is.
	You are a bunch of fucking cowards and you are driving our country into the ground through your cowardice.
	And I'm so sick of it.
	If it was totally irrelevant, right?
	If this was basically like, I don't know, you know, something like something that had no effect on basically anything, like a local kindergarten would go under or something like that.
	Like, okay, that sucks.
	You're going to have to choose a kindergarten that isn't run by these women, you know, like that, that it wouldn't bother me.
	I'd be like, okay, that's grim.
	You know, why are you being such weird cowards about things?
	But whatever.
	But it's not.
	It's the national economy.
	It's the entire country, not just the economy either.
	It's every aspect of the nation is going under because of these people.
	And I'm just so sick of their attitudes.
	I'm so sick of their cowardliness.
	I'm so sick of their cringing, fearful lives.
	I'm tired of them.
	I just call an election, man.
	Just call a fucking election so we can get what needs to be done over with.
	I'm so tired of these people being politicians that they will accept.
	And of course, you know, I don't want anyone to misinterpret this.
	Everything, everything must be done by the ballot box.
	Okay.
	We can still win by the ballot box.
	I realize there are going to be people who give me hell about that.
	I don't care.
	I'm fully committed to democracy because I genuinely believe that actually we can vote for a right-wing party.
	And if we get just 350 patriots in, then it's over for them.
	It's over.
	If we get 350 true patriots who are just like, okay, yeah, no, we are just going to legislate on day one, the Great Repeal Bill, all of it gone, all of these people unemployed, then we win.
	Then it's over.
	The whole thing is over.
	And that's what we need to do.
	And that will happen.
	That day is fast approaching, by the way.
	And in the previous podcast, Andrew Maher was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
	Don't think there's any stopping the right-wingization of the current moment.
	And it's like, yeah, I don't think there is either.
	Anyway, but anyway, so like I said, like I said, I just fucking hate these people.
	I'm so, so sick of them.
	I don't know whether I've made that clear or not, but it's because they're morally deficient, right?
	They're complete.
	They don't have morality.
	What they have is the desire for no motion at all, no harm.
	It's all pure utilitarianism, which is not a moral philosophy.
	It is just the absence of motion is all they think is moral.
	And I'm so against it.
	I'm against everything that these people do at every single level.
	Anyway, let's get that off my chest.
	I've had that bound up inside me for such a long time now.
	I'm so tired of them.
	It's just that I'm very angry.
	How are you doing, chat?
	I didn't even look at the chat very much without that.
	I'm sorry.
	I should have been paying more attention, but I was just annoys me, man.
	The Rubicon says, reporting in from Portland.
	Look at all the National Guard everywhere.
	Things are so nice today.
	Thanks to them.
	Have a great day.
	Really?
	That's lovely.
	I bet there's far fewer crimes, far fewer druggies running around mugging people.
	Good for you.
	And again, like Trump needs to do this.
	And this is one of the things that, sorry, Trump is a great example of this, right?
	Think of Obama at the fucking White House correspondence dinner where he fucking humiliated Trump in front of all his peers.
	Like, fucking humiliated him.
	And now, get fucked.
	Get fucked.
	You know, the Trump and Reich is here.
	And you can fuck yourselves.
	You can fuck yourselves.
	You can fuck yourselves.
	You know, this is like John Oliver's nightmare because he's like the epitome of this.
	You know, the Jon Stewart, John Oliver types.
	They are the bourgeois fucking mouthpieces.
	And they can all get fucked.
	All of these people can get fucked.
	I love watching them get torn down.
	Yeah, Marcos, I should have got some Nietzsche quotes ready for this, shouldn't I?
	I should have done.
	I often laugh at the men who think themselves good because they have no claws.
	Nietzsche eternally vindicated.
	I should have.
	I knew.
	I should have got those quotes up.
	There are others as well.
	But yeah, no, exactly.
	That is exactly correct.
	Nietzsche called these people as well.
	Rousseau, though, like, you know, I've got a half say about my problems with Rousseau, but he understood.
	He understood these people.
	I mean, they were his people, basically.
	He understood these people and their flaws.
	Tom says, we're with you in the US.
	Britain for the British.
	Keep up the pressure, brother.
	Thanks, man.
	Thanks.
	mean to be honest with you everything feels like it's going great the lanyard wearing cowardly bourgeoisie look like they're under siege from all angles right Like there's the radical right, the radical left, the economic pressure, the immigrants not doing as they're told.
	Keir Starmer's like, please don't go out and protest, Jews, after the murder of a Jew.
	And the Muslims are like, hey, fuck yourself.
	We're going out to protest.
	It's like, oh, how's the client groups going here?
	You keep them under control, are you?
	No, of course you're not.
	And Keir Starmer represents the end of this form of politics.
	He's the end of it.
	And it's great to see.
	It's really great to see.
	Like I said, I genuinely feel like things are going in the right direction, whether they like it or not.
	Any plans to come over to the States again?
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course I'll go to the States again.
	I'm going to Australia soon.
	In fact, at the end of this month, I'm going for the first fleet forum.
	So, uh, it's it's about an hour north of Sydney or two hours north of Sydney.
	Um, so and if if anyone's in Sydney, let me know.
	Anyone, you know, got a podcast or anything, and let me know because I'll be staying in Sydney for like four days before going on to it.
	So, let me know.
	Um, Greg says, Our boomers were spoiled in the 60s, sellouts in the 80s, corporate crudeies in the 90s, warmongers in the 2000s, and terrifying in the 2020s.
	Make let's make them irrelevant in 2026.
	Well, the thing is, a lot of these people aren't boomers, a lot of them are older Gen X or older millennials.
	It's a class issue rather than a generation issue of this.
	Rob said, our Robert Ross says, as a niche, a niche reference, what I'm hearing is, I really want you really want to craft IPA.
	No, I don't like him.
	I actually, I like carling, to be honest, as my beer.
	I'll go for the weak piss carling.
	I don't tend to drink beer though, because I mean, I don't drink much anyway, right?
	I very rarely actually drink.
	I don't mind a beer, I do like a bit, but like, I mean, one of the things that bothers me, and this is gonna sound really gay, is they've got lots of calories in them.
	But man, when you, when you're in your mid-40s, you are fighting your weight all the time.
	You are just non-stop fighting your own body's inclination.
	You're like, your body's like, look, man, look, we're old.
	Let's just get fat.
	Let's just get fat.
	You're old.
	You can do it.
	You're married.
	You've got four kids.
	Why don't you just get fat?
	You sure you don't want to just get really, really fat?
	Wouldn't it be nice to be fat?
	And I'd be like, oh, fuck you, man.
	Like, I just don't want to be work.
	I just don't want to be fat.
	I'm trying desperately not to be fat.
	And so, like, someone's like, yeah, there's like 200 calories in a beer.
	And I'm like, fucking hell, man.
	That's like a Mars bar.
	It was before Shrinkflation.
	I don't know.
	I can't.
	I'm not a big drinker anyway.
	And it's genuinely the vanity of it.
	My wife's always like, why are you trying to lose weight?
	I love you as you are.
	And I'm like, yeah, but darling, I'm not doing it for you.
	I'm doing exactly what I see myself on camera.
	I don't want to be a giant bloater.
	I'm tired of it.
	I want to be not so fat.
	Thank you very much.
	Matthew says, as much as what you've described as a caricature, I actually work with these people every day and honestly, you're probably underselling it.
	Mate, that's the thing, right?
	I'm not caricaturing these people, am I?
	That's the thing.
	Because I worked with these people all my adult life before starting a YouTube channel.
	Like, I have, you know, I come from this class of people where it's just you are not allowed to rock the boat.
	And I'm sorry, but that's how you lose sight of what is actually true or false, as we can see right now, in fact.
	And as three years later, the spectator are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, and Liz Trust was right.
	We're in a massive constitutional crisis.
	The Bank of England controls our entire country, actually.
	And the government is basically pinned in position lest the Bank of England leaks ahead of anything they want to do and ruins their chances.
	So yeah, I'm just, I'm just, I, I, I, I, I'm aware that I'm probably underselling it, but I'm absolutely describing these people accurately.
	And the thing is, they'll know it as well.
	Uh, Jake says, I like IPAs, I'm blue-collar working class.
	Yeah, okay, the IPA thing is more of a stereotype.
	You are allowed to like IPA beers if you like, uh, but it's it's it's stereotypical.
	Uh, they're most definitely weak and wouldn't be able to pick up a hammer and help rebuild anything.
	Yeah, this is the thing, right?
	Because, like, I've got no like manual skills.
	Like, I've done manual labor, but it was never skilled labor, right?
	Like, so if I need like a something repaired in my house, I don't know how it's done because I've never actually been trained to do it.
	But, you know, if I can, you know, I've done manual labor, like packing boxes and stuff.
	Like, I used to pack bananas in a factory when I was like 19, 20, something like that.
	I can't remember how old I was now.
	Just before I went to university.
	Yeah, I used to pack bananas in a factory, which was shit.
	I worked in a St. Ivil factory in Wooten Bassett as well for a month, which was shit.
	So it's not, you know, like, it's more about the technical skills that I don't have.
	The boomer generation of elites and even some elite class have screwed over the younger generations who have spent and pissed away all of our wealth and left us for nothing.
	Again, this isn't a generational thing because a lot of the people I'm talking about will be younger women, like in their 30s, and in their 20s, the ones in their 20s as well, but it's the 30s and 40s women and the weak men who enable this who will also be part of this.
	Again, this is not a generational thing.
	And there are boomers who just do not give a fuck about other people's opinions.
	So, you know, it's genuinely a dispositional thing, right?
	Matthew again says, I don't know many Gen X's who support wokeness, but they never fought to defend tradition.
	They just ceded control to zealot millennials.
	Yes, that is the flaw of Gen X's.
	But again, this isn't a generational thing.
	A lot of these people, the problem with Gen X is a lot of them are actually the IPA drinking shitlibs because a lot of them, while they're not necessarily woke, they also are just kind of absconded from morality, right?
	Generation X didn't set an affirmative moral position outside of themselves.
	And so, yeah.
	David Oswan debating Islam, surely we must start with the fact of the Quran tells Muslims kill people like 109 times.
	Why bother debating Islam?
	I'm not in any way interested in a religious discussion with Muslims.
	So if you believe that, okay, fine.
	But I don't.
	And I'm not interested in having it out.
	Ian says, it's the lumpen secretariat you despise, not the Marxistly defined bourgeoisie.
	Again, well, first things first, the term bourgeoisie, as our good friend Jean-Jacques Rousseau points out, vastly long predates Marx.
	And no, I am, it is the bourgeois class.
	It's the class, because this is another thing.
	This is another way that they hate Tommy Robinson.
	Because they are the men of the rules, the men of consensus, the men of inaction, they despise the working class for actually having the temerity to stand up for themselves.
	And if you're a working class man and aristocrats have the same thing, right?
	But the working class and the aristocrats want to defend their own honor.
	They consider themselves to have honor, irrespective of some other guy's opinion, right?
	And so if someone slights them, they will stand up for themselves and they will physically fight it out.
	Whereas the bourgeoisie would never even fucking dream of it.
	What they would do is the very feminine-coded reputational destruction.
	They will go and tell people, oh, oh, oh, that person's bad.
	And suddenly, oh, you get scorn poured on you from all of these lanyard-wearing pricks.
	And it's like, yeah, no, I'd rather you come up and have a fight with me.
	Okay, I'd rather have it out here and now than do what you do.
	And so this is why I can respect the aristocracy.
	I can respect the working class.
	Can't respect the middle class.
	Can't respect them.
	John says, completely unrelated.
	Today at my local park in Texas, there is a Hispanic heritage celebration.
	People in Aztec costumes.
	The black Hebrew Israelites have a booth.
	I hate the modern world.
	I mean, to be honest, that sounds kind of funny, doesn't it?
	But yeah, fuck off.
	Patrick says St. George's flag is still slaying dragons, I see.
	Yeah, it's been good, isn't it?
	Cameron says, I agree with your frustrations.
	The ruling class looks timid from the outside.
	And it's because of comfort.
	When comfort becomes priority, conviction and vision becomes dangerous.
	It's eerily similar to the late Roman Republic.
	Yeah, it's really similar to Demosthenes as well.
	He's got a great Philippic, I think it's like Third Philippic or whatever it's called, where he's lambasting the Athenian aristocracy for not taking the threat of Philip seriously.
	Because they're like, well, here in Athens, we can all form this kind of bourgeois agreement by consensus.
	And Demosthenes was brave enough to stand outside of it, and they hated him for it.
	And yet he was right on everything.
	He was absolutely correct on everything that he was saying.
	And so it is.
	And doubtless the same thing happened in the late Roman Republic.
	So it's just remarkable how this is just a feature of civilization.
	Lars says, when I was in high school, a lot of my friends were socialists.
	They're all sons and daughters of what passed from middle class in the small town.
	Yeah, of course they were.
	Of course they were.
	I'm going to skip a couple that are basically repeats of what's already been said.
	Fired down says the middle class was too smart to be workers, but too dumbass to be aristocrats.
	It's not they're too smart to be workers.
	It's they're fortunate enough to live in an era where you can make a good living without using your hands.
	Con Radissar says, I worked in the NHS for 20 years and it's full of them.
	Everything is status.
	Had Princess Anne come and they were all crawling over each other for a slice of the attention.
	It was embarrassing to watch.
	Yeah, isn't it just, isn't it just that whole fucking thing?
	Where it's like, where are we?
	What was that bit where it's he cringes to men in power whom he hates and to rich men whom he despises.
	But he sticks at nothing to have the honor of serving them.
	He's not ashamed to value himself and his own weakness and the protection they afford him.
	He is proud of his chains.
	It's honestly, it's so fucking true, isn't it?
	Like, they venerate status above them.
	If they think someone is above them, they're like, oh my God, that guy's so great.
	And yet they hate the rich.
	They constantly go on about the people above them in such negative terms.
	And you are right, Condrassa.
	It's embarrassing.
	How some fucking dignity, man.
	You know, like when I meet people who are clearly far richer and more famous than me and often more powerful, I just try to act normally.
	I try not to be fawning.
	I don't even have to try not to be fawning.
	But it's just, I'm just, I just, just be normal.
	That's all you have to do is just be normal with people and they'll like you for being normal, by the way.
	Fired down says, this is literally how Orwell described hierarchy in 1984.
	The middle will always want to be the top and so we'll use the bottom to do so.
	Yeah, this is the thing.
	They use pouring scorn to reduce someone's status as a way of securing their own status.
	This is why they love this why when in that podcast, she was like, oh, we all had fun laughing at Liz Truss.
	Yeah, you had a great time reducing Liz Truss's status from your place to, I mean, there's nothing more they love than tearing down an idol.
	Like the prime minister, man, if they think they can get their claws into it, oh, God, it feels so good for them to do it.
	It feels so good.
	Especially if that prime minister represents an existential paradigm shift to what they're doing.
	These guys had such a fucking hate boner for Liz Truss, which I just don't understand.
	Because it's not like Liz Truss wasn't coming out as a radical right-winger.
	She was just like, look, we need to shrink the size of the state and reduce taxes a bit or else the country's going to go under.
	And they were like, fuck me.
	She is basically a Nazi.
	We're going to ruin her.
	And it's crazy how non-offensive Liz Truss was up until that point.
	But that's the thing.
	Liz Truss was genuinely not any more offensive than literally anyone else.
	Moriarty says, all children will be auto-enrolled on digital ID.
	They plan to make it mandatory for going to school.
	And not one thing is said by the lanyard-wearing class about this.
	Like, the Bank of England controls the country.
	Everyone's going to be put on a centralized government database under a state that has the power through the banks and just, you know, controlled by the banks on a state that has the power to just arrest anyone for thought crimes.
	And 12,000 people a year are currently arrested for those.
	And they have literally no commentary on it at all.
	Nothing.
	They have nothing to say about that.
	That is crazy, right?
	That is crazy that these people are just totally impassive to it.
	They're saying, oh, yeah, that's not a thing I think about.
	Shake Silver says, the rise of neoliberalism is tailor-made for middle-class apathy.
	Takes the onus out of using political power as an individual traded for elites, chosen by the system to back, hence the obsession with experts.
	Yes, indeed.
	Remember, everything about this is self-abnegation.
	So I don't have to think about this at all.
	I can just offload my opinions to the expert classes.
	And if the experts come to a consensus, well, I know that Dr. Fauci was correct.
	Yes, he may well have said the exact opposite yesterday, but I took him on faith then, and I will take him on faith now because the science changes and I change exactly with the science.
	It's like, well, then it wasn't fucking science, was it?
	It was fucking false.
	It was wrong.
	It wasn't true.
	It didn't describe an accurate account of reality.
	Therefore, it wasn't actually science you were doing yesterday.
	You were fucking lying.
	Anyway.
	Joe says, hey, thanks to the 10.
	Joe has been watching my show for far too long.
	He sent me a $10 super chat saying, hey, Joe, thanks for the $10.
	You're my favorite subscriber, and I love you.
	You should watch Nick Friatus.
	I don't think I've heard of him.
	Sorry.
	But yeah, thank you, man.
	Steel Manning says, How long from the Met starts arresting or finding people for simply disliking labor videos on YouTube?
	Well, I mean, I was going to say it'll never come to that, but do I know that it'll never come to that?
	I don't.
	So I don't know.
	Fred says, Carl, I'm a father of one, practicing making more good man.
	And I owe you a thank you.
	You encourage me to learn more about British history.
	You're going to go down in history as a legend.
	Okay, thank you.
	Well, I mean, I think the best I can really hope for is a kind of Robin Hood figure.
	But that would be great, to be honest.
	You know, I'd be very happy to be remembered after I'm dead as a kind of Robin Hood figure who stood up for the normal person in the country who actually doesn't want to be tyrannized by the government.
	Like, that'd be a lovely thing to be remembered for.
	Why do you think your middle class is very lefty while America's is very evenly split?
	To be honest with you, I don't know if America's is very evenly split.
	I think what America has is a kind of hidden aristocracy, which is quite evenly split.
	But I think your middle class is probably quite concentrated in the cities, probably quite lefty as well.
	So Cameron says, I just want to say you'd make a very good MP/slash minister.
	You have a great ability to dissect abstract issues and communicate it clearly.
	Well, that's why I did all the philosophy degrees.
	That was what they were for.
	But thank you.
	I appreciate that.
	I tell you, it's been a lot of work.
	You know, I'm not like tooting my own horn either.
	It's been a lot of fucking work, a lot of fucking reading.
	But this is why I'm doing it, to be able to actually properly understand what's happening.
	Because, man, everything is so screwed at the moment.
	Everything is so screwed.
	If you want to understand the middle class, imagine a mob of redditors with an inferiority complex.
	Well, you just could just say a mob of redditors.
	Because they obviously all have inferiority complexes.
	The lettuce banner is just another example that leftists are actual children.
	Yeah, I know.
	It was so puerile, so infantile.
	So gross as well.
	Like really a bunch of very mean girls getting around to bully one of the girls who's fallen out of favor.
	It's like, I remember seeing it at school, and I was always part of the friend groups where those girls would end up hanging out with us because we were just normal.
	And everyone could see it.
	It'd be happening in the fucking lunchrooms.
	There'd be like, you know, 10 girls sat around having their like.
	I would never speak to any of these girls either.
	And you would see it happen in real time.
	And I always, I could never understand it as a kid.
	But I always thought it was gross.
	And then, you know, we'd end up, you know, like a week later or something, that girl would be hanging out with us because we were just normal.
	Like, we were just friends.
	We actually liked each other.
	We actually wanted each other to be happy.
	We would rag on each other all the time, obviously.
	You know, but like, it was a lot like the in-betweeners, actually.
	You know, it's like, yeah, okay, we constantly rag on each other.
	But to each other, right, as a part of bonding exercise, you're part of the group.
	It wasn't, you know, and it was never mean either, you know.
	Hammertime says, Hi, Carl, I'm born here, grew up here and loved the sport that you can.
	I'm from a Sikh background and not religious.
	Do you still want me deported to be sent to India?
	I've never said I want every single brown person deported.
	I'm not Steve Laws.
	I think that we absolutely have friends in this country who are not from this country.
	The question is just really one of numbers.
	And millions of people who are not friends have been let into this country and they shouldn't be here.
	Millions of them can go back.
	Like, you probably have a job.
	You probably pay taxes.
	I don't think we should just deport all the brown people in the country.
	I just think we do need to worry about demographics.
	And we do need to think: are we going to allow an infinite number of immigrants to come into the country?
	And what happens if we do?
	And frankly, it's just one of those things where it's like, this is no getting around the fact that if we allow that to happen, we will lose England.
	So the thing that we should be doing is just ending immigration and allowing emigration to do its work, right?
	I don't even think we need an intrusive policy, frankly.
	Just turn off benefits and stop the inflow, and millions of these people will leave on their own.
	And so we don't have to like deport anyone, really, apart from the obviously the illegals, which is deport.
	But we don't need to, I don't think we should do anything intrusive either.
	And then just set in place policies that make sure that we understand that this country belongs to the native population.
	We don't need to do anything to the minorities.
	We don't need to persecute anyone.
	We don't need to do a damn thing.
	We just need to ensure that we're not allowing billion people to just not even a billion, seven billion or however many it is to have access to our country, right?
	We don't need to do anything.
	And like you say, like it's not that we don't have friends here.
	We do have friends here.
	I don't think we should be, you know, categorical so that our friends are caught up in the things that we do.
	No, we can just choose.
	No, you guys who are friends, you can stay.
	And once we get England back to like 90% English, we don't have to worry about it.
	Like that's fine.
	It's not unreasonable at all to want England to have the demographic profile that it had in the 1990s.
	It's not unreasonable whatsoever.
	And everyone will agree.
	You know, like it's just really the country was so good then as well.
	Such a good country.
	Andrew says, liberals use mean girl tactics to silence dissent, but God gives you free will to stand firm.
	A bold go fuck yourself declares your freedom to think and speak.
	Embrace that gift and don't let their nonsense dim your fire.
	Well, that's precisely the point.
	And that's why, like I was saying at the beginning, I respect everyone on the British right because most of them, I can't really think of any of them, who haven't been through the fire, right?
	They've all been notables in some way, most of them anyway, who have decided, no, actually on this, I think this, and I don't care what the consensus is.
	And whether I agree with that or not, the fact they're prepared to stand there and take the heat and tell all of their peers to fuck themselves, I can respect them even if I don't agree with them.
	Originally, we weren't supposed to wear face masks.
	Face mask wearing became left-wing so because it's visible, so that it had to.
	Exactly.
	It was about then, this is the whole point of virtue signaling is to show the rest.
	No, no, no, no.
	I'm one of the good people in the in-group.
	Trust me, I'm as compliant as I could ever be.
	So We find the person that we're going to put in the stocks and throw veg at and humiliate, I'll be in that crowd because I'm afraid of being that person.
	Why do we let these dumb people become public figures and thought leaders?
	They always come to the same conclusion as the public years after the fact.
	Well, it's about the institutions selecting for people who represent the people in the institutions, right?
	The people who themselves would be they see themselves in the people that they hire, right?
	And so the institutions staffed with brown-nosing, lanyard-wearing, yes-men.
	Well, they're going to recruit more of the same.
	Generico, I'm not going to say that, but yes.
	Shake Silver says, do not resent democracy.
	The middle class hates unmanaged democracy, where you have to vote in your interests and not for what Daddy State tells you to.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This is why they hate Gamanzilla because they know that Gamanzilla could just turn on a dime and vote for the BMP if it wanted.
	Like, Gamanzilla could just vote for the hardest right party, and suddenly that party could get millions of votes and be completely outside of their control.
	So, you know, what are they going to do?
	Thank you, Neville Goddess.
	Appreciate that.
	Moriarty says, for a hundred pounds, man, I'm not a dickhead.
	Talk to me about being a good dad to your kids.
	Well, man, I do my best.
	Like, the thing is, you never want to blow your trumpet about being a good dad.
	Like, because all I do is just my best, man.
	Like, I mean, God forbid, one day one of my kids is on the internet like Destiny.
	I mean, I don't think one of my kids are going to be like with Destiny.
	But God, God forbid, one of my kids is ever angry at me in public because of how I treated them or something or didn't treat them.
	I make sure that I discipline my kids, right?
	And I mean, like, when I say discipline, enforce boundaries, you know, don't do this thing.
	It is bad to do this thing.
	And I genuinely hope that when they're older, like I did with my dad, they would realize, even if they're angry with me about anything, I don't think they are.
	I'm absolutely short, they're not.
	But I genuinely hope that one day they'll understand that I was doing it for them and that it would have been easier not to enforce the boundaries.
	It'd just be easier just to let them do whatever they're doing, right?
	I've got a story, but I don't know whether I should tell it.
	But basically, I make my son do his, my oldest son, do piano.
	My youngest son's too young for this yet.
	But I make my older son play piano every day.
	And he's getting pretty bloody good.
	And today he had to give a demonstration on impromptu to a music class of people not at his school of his abilities.
	And he just starts playing.
	I don't even know the song, but he plays it really, really well.
	And I saw all of the people just like, oh, he's really good.
	And it's like, yeah, he is really good.
	And, you know, he doesn't always, he often doesn't enjoy doing his piano lessons, but I make him do like half an hour every night.
	And when he's older and he's got these talents, you know, I mean, don't remember.
	I know my older son loves me more than anything.
	But I really hope he really understands why I made him do it.
	Right.
	I really hope he understands.
	And I'm sure they'll all understand that it was purely out of love.
	I made them follow the rules.
	I made them, I put the boundaries in place.
	I made sure they didn't go beyond them.
	And if they did, they get punished, you know, go without pudding or whatever it is, go to their rooms, you know, whatever it is.
	The punishment is.
	And this, this is the responsibility of the father.
	And I think that's what being a good father is.
	Obviously, I'm, you know, as loving as I can be with them.
	You know, I give them kisses and cuddles all the time.
	And, you know, I take them for bike rides and go out places.
	And, you know, I do all of that.
	But, like, that's easy to do, right?
	Because that's the fun stuff.
	It's really difficult.
	It's hard to imagine being a dad who doesn't want to play with his kids and spend time with the kids.
	Because it's just fun.
	It's just fun to play with your kids and to give them love, you know, to give them cuddles and like, you know, play games with them.
	It's fun to do all that.
	You know, take them out and whatever.
	It's hard to do the hard stuff as a dad.
	And the hard stuff is setting rules and enforcing them, putting up boundaries and enforcing them.
	But I'm very confident that when they're older, they'll totally understand and they'll thank me for it.
	Thank you to people who are just donating because they say thank you for all the work.
	I appreciate that.
	Broman says, and Moriarty says, being a good father is being the bad cop.
	I don't think the good cop bad cop is the right way to frame it.
	Being a good father is being the person of last resort, the person to whom authority ultimately is invested in and has to be responsibly handled, right?
	You're the strongest person in the house.
	In most cases, you're the highest earner in the house.
	You control the money.
	You have the presence that your wife just doesn't have.
	You have the voice.
	You can't just call it up on command either.
	It happens when the roar, the dad voice comes out.
	And every dad knows what I'm talking about.
	When it's something that's dangerous for them and you've told them, don't do that.
	And suddenly there's a hardness and volume in the voice that your wife just cannot summon.
	It's not about being the bad cop.
	It's about being the arbiter and being the kind of the king of the family.
	So being like the judge and the executioner at the same time, the judge during the execution.
	You've got to occupy all of these roles and you've got to make sure that justice is properly delivered.
	And they have to understand that, like, they have to know the rules in advance, which obviously they do.
	And they know when they break them.
	And they know that the punishment is proportional.
	And they know what they did to deserve the punishment, if and when they get one, right?
	So it's just something you just, it's a fine balancing act, but you have to think about it.
	Broman says, I'm beginning to suspect that Sargon may have negative views of the bourgeoisie.
	I can't put my finger on it, but it's a sneaking suspicion.
	Yeah, I know.
	Tell me, right?
	Tell me.
	We bekin says, packing bananas is an honorable profession for a proud African man like yourself, Carl.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's just coincidence.
	I found myself doing it.
	What are my feelings on the rise of resurrection of Nick Fuentes?
	I think he's kind of earned it, to be honest.
	There are a lot of people who don't like Nick, obviously.
	But I actually don't mind him.
	I actually, you know, I don't watch his show because I don't watch any shows, but I'll see clips of it going around.
	And he's funny.
	He's charming.
	He's a great talker.
	He's gay, but nobody's perfect.
	Come at me, Nick.
	No, I'm joking.
	But I think he's done a lot of hard work, actually, recently.
	And he represents a genuine perspective that I think he represents a lot of Zuma men, right?
	Who are disenfranchised by the system.
	They've been raised in a feminist system.
	And they're not happy about it.
	And he represents their position well.
	So I'm not really against it, to be honest.
	I don't mind him.
	Did you know that Vietnam just froze 86 million bank accounts until the owners produced digital ID and biometric data 21st September?
	I did not know that.
	I did not know that.
	I'm going to put that into my browser and look that up later.
	Apparently, it's not quite that simple.
	The AIO view is saying, no, it didn't do that.
	Instead, the State Bank of Vietnam has deactivated a significant number of accounts that were not properly linked to the new chip-based identity cards.
	Right, so it basically did then.
	Okay, fine.
	I'll Fight You Naked says, Sometimes I wonder, do they think the Panopticon they're building will allow them to manage the primitives they are importing?
	Yes, all governance to them is administration.
	All governance to them is just administration.
	And so they genuinely think that the Panopticon will do nothing but serve the machine and cannot be used for tyranny because, as far as they're concerned, tyranny doesn't really exist.
	I mean, you can tell that the complete lack of interest in civil rights means to them they just don't think administrative bureaucracies are capable of tyrannizing people.
	It's like, no, they are the most capable of tyrannizing people.
	Like, God, it would be so much better for us to just have a bloodthirsty king because there are only so many people he can murder during a day.
	There are only so many people who can actually tyrannize during a day.
	But the Panopticon, the digital panopticon, will tyrannize everyone all the time.
	Sometimes the tyrant will sleep, but this system will never sleep.
	And so, anyway.
	What happened to Bane666?
	I don't know.
	Will I meet up with Bering?
	I'll message Bering.
	I'll tell him to come over.
	Come and hang out.
	Gareth says, could you or the other load seaters comment on the K-pop demon hunters phenomenon?
	Well, I mean, I can't.
	I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
	I've not watched Stranger Things to the end either.
	I watched some of Stranger Things, but it was like, it was okay, actually.
	But I don't know.
	There was something about it that just kind of didn't.
	I don't know.
	It didn't do it for me.
	don't know what to say check the nuts It says, I'm 50 minutes behind.
	Learn to trade, you dunce.
	You won't regret it.
	Yeah, you know, I kind of want to do woodworking, actually.
	I know that sounds weird, but I fucking love woodworking.
	I could watch woodworking videos for hours.
	I just think, but it'd be nice to have made something at the end of it as well.
	You know, it looks like a fun process.
	And I love the smell of worked wood.
	You know, when you, when I was in school, when you, you know, shop or whatever, I can't remember they call it in Britain.
	Like, engineering, whatever it was.
	But I used to love working the wood.
	I used to love the smell of the chippings of the wood.
	So enjoyed that stuff.
	I'd kind of like to do that just for the fun of it.
	Yeah, beautifully polished and like stained wood.
	You know, it's gorgeous, gorgeous material.
	I'm going to skip a couple just because I'm getting a bit knackered now and I'm going to go to bed.
	Got church tomorrow.
	AA said Farage's best tactic was to go Starma and he has.
	You know, I don't even know if Farage tried to go Starma, actually.
	I think Starmer just has imprinted on Farage this kind of anti-system energy and totemic energy on Farage.
	Because Farage doesn't really fulfill the criteria that Starmer is using to attack him on, you know, or at least if he does, he does it very reluctantly.
	And yet, you know, Starma's leaping at him like it's Trump himself that he's dealing with.
	And it's like, okay, well, that's not Farage.
	But at the end of the day, Farage is probably going to have to rise to it whether he likes it or not.
	Because Starmer is going to attack him using the system like he's Trump.
	So get ready, Nige, because they're going to come for you, mate.
	And the last one, Nacinda, says, take your family to dinner, Sargon.
	I have been listening since Gaminggate.
	Thank you for being the chat.
	I wish I were.
	Well, I've got to...
	I'm going to sneeze now.
	Fuck's out.
	I've had a block nose all day.
	Thank you.
	I don't think of myself as a chat.
	I think I'm just a normal guy.
	But thank you for listening since Game Again.
	It was nice to meet a veteran.
	And thanks for the donation, man.
	That's really kind of you.
	I really appreciate it.
	And I will take my family to dinner.
	Thank you.
	I've got stuff to do tomorrow, so I will take them out.
	But thank you, everyone, for all the kind words, kind donations, and thank you for blessing me in the chat too.
	I think it's clear that myself and all the guys at the Lotus Cedars are just working as hard as we possibly can, right?
	Every day I watch all of the guys, all my colleagues, working just really, really hard and really taking everything very seriously.
	They understand that they are doing something important by creating a right-wing cultural commentary space to have something that is authentically ours for us and not for foreign interest, not for any foreign interest on either side, not that we're for or against, but it's just nice to have something that's centered in us.
	And so all the guys work really hard and they take it very seriously and they do a great job.
	And so I'm very pleased that everyone seems to be really enjoying everything that we're doing.
	You know, everything's going great as far as I can tell.
	And so I just, I appreciate that everyone like sticks around and that we're doing that, whatever we're doing is resonating, right?
	Really appreciate it.
	Anyway, right.
	I'm going to have to go.
	So thank you for watching, folks.
	Go over to the podcast of the Lotus Cedars.
	We're broadcasting live at 1 p.m. British time every day on YouTube now.
	So we used to not broadcast on YouTube because YouTube used to have really draconian rules and they used to change them arbitrarily.
	Like, oh, right, okay.
	Well, up until today, you were allowed to criticize the election or talk about COVID or whatever, but actually now you're getting a strike.
	We nearly got struck off of YouTube back in 2020, probably 2020, 2021, something like that, for questioning the narrative.
	But now YouTube doesn't do that so much, actually.
	So we're back on YouTube.
	So one o'clock podcast of the Lotus Eaters.
	So that'll be, I don't know, five or six o'clock Eastern and then what, like nine, eight or nine o'clock Western California.
	I don't know American times.
	But one o'clock UK time, figure that out for your own time slot.
