	Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 4th of December 2020.
	Again, Carl can't be with us today because he has a family emergency he has to deal with, so we're stepping in for him for this episode.
	But we have some good topics today.
	We're doing Joe Rogan's purge of his own video library, the communist advisor for Biden, who thinks that communist education is the way to go, which...
	Okay.
	And also the successful pushback in Eton against the professor who was fired for saying that feminism is bad.
	So, let's get into it.
	So, the first thing I want to talk about was Joe Rogan's purge of his own video library.
	So...
	I can't imagine there's anyone who doesn't know, but just in case, Joe Rogan's a podcaster, insanely successful.
	Everything he does is gold, in my opinion, or at least a lot of it is gold.
	Especially the episodes with Alex Jones.
	But he made a deal with Spotify for $100 million to transfer all of his library to Spotify.
	So he had a deadline, which was the end of this year, he would delete all of his YouTube content, because then it was a Spotify exclusive to incentivize for people to go over.
	And if you can load up the Social Blade statistics, you can see there are minus 1.8 billion views for the last 30 days.
	That's absolutely insane.
	Absolutely crazy.
	But that shows the real strength of Joe Rogan.
	I just find this really weird because he said he was going to do it, so it's not that big of a shock.
	But I don't know why he went through with this.
	If this was on a licensing agreement for our podcast, no, no, bad idea.
	He's basically just butchering his legacy I think.
	Everyone watched his videos on YouTube, myself included, and it seems very strange to have to go over to Spotify.
	But if you can see the images...
	So this is just the playlists you have.
	So image one, you can see everything's been privated.
	You can get image two.
	You can see there are random episodes that are just allowed to stay on.
	I'm assuming that's an administrative error by Jamie or whoever has done this.
	Yeah, because I imagine if it was done based on, you know, kind of what the tamest ones are, I don't think the one with Steve-O would necessarily stay up, to be honest.
	So then there's the third image which is just behind the scenes videos are also gone which I don't know how or why they need to be a Spotify exclusive but okay.
	And then the next one is just a bunch of clips that he's put on his main channel which are also gone.
	The clips channel is still up but this was just a bunch of clips he held on the main one that are now all gone.
	So if you can get the Twitter link up.
	This is Joe referencing what's going on because he said this back when he made his initial video saying that he was going to change for Spotify.
	But all my new podcasts, audio and video are now available exclusively on Spotify and are 100% free.
	So exclusively meaning he had to take them down on all of his other platforms.
	YouTube being the biggest, obviously.
	And the audience response is not very positive.
	So this is just one of the clips he put up around about the same time this was happening, 1st of December there.
	And you can see the dislikes.
	It's not because of the speaker.
	The speaker did nothing wrong with this clip.
	In fact, he was just kind of boring, which, sorry for the guy at Signal, but he didn't answer the question.
	But you can see in the comments there as well, like the second comment, nothing will change, same deal as always, folks, Joe Rogan, one month later, it's gone.
	But that's the thing.
	He did say he was going to transfer the end of this year, meaning December.
	I mean, it's December 4th now.
	I do remember seeing comments that were explaining that it's just part of his Spotify deal, and he was essentially saying that this shouldn't be a surprise to everyone, but everyone's kind of freaking out.
	I'm getting like charades at me.
	I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but send me a message.
	I think he's saying to lower the microphone.
	Okay.
	So the next link is just where I get this information from that he said at the end of the year, I will be transferring.
	It's the video of him announcing it, so I'm not making it up.
	It's right at the bottom, but we'll have a link in the clip so people can go watch it for themselves.
	It's only 50 seconds.
	It's just him saying, I'm changing for Spotify.
	We're going to start now, transferring all the stuff over, and then end of the year, I will take myself off YouTube, which...
	Okay, he signed the licensing agreement.
	If that's what he wants to do, that's what he wants to do.
	But of course, when this first happened, the big problem was, is everyone noticed that a bunch of the podcasts didn't get transferred over.
	And, you know, this is a Reddit link of just every single podcast that was confirmed, suspected, and then they confirmed which ones weren't sent over.
	And the obvious point being, most of them are the most spicy episodes.
	So you've got, you know, Alex Jones, I think was a couple of them.
	Um...
	Carl was one of them, but Carl wasn't really that spicy looking back at it.
	But that was essentially the pattern.
	And people got really suspicious because it was like, well, is Spotify censoring you?
	What's going on?
	Are you alright?
	And Alex Jones put out a video in which he actually clarified on Joe Rogan's behalf, or at least Joe had said this to him, that no, he's not being censored.
	He wanted to take the 100 most popular episodes and keep them on YouTube so they wouldn't be transferred over to Spotify.
	If we can play the clip, but this is just him talking about it I'll be doing it over
	here.
	I'll be doing it over here.
	Yeah, that's probably bad enough.
	He then goes on to talk about Joe moving to Texas.
	But the obvious point being, okay, maybe Alex misspoke, but he said that the top 100, you know, his favorite episodes would remain on YouTube.
	But if, you know, we, of course, were, you know, working for Carl, so we looked up Carl's, and Carl's doesn't seem to be there anymore.
	I mean, maybe Steve-O's is one of those 100, and that's why it's on there, and this is just a mess up or something.
	But then I was thinking, if you're going to transfer your whole library over, if he's actually taken off everything from YouTube, surely he would have put it on Spotify.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it seems a bit strange that he hasn't already put it on Spotify, because I got the impression that there would be a time where things were on both Spotify and YouTube, and then once the whole catalogue had been put on Spotify, he would then begin to take off the videos from YouTube.
	Yeah, these top 100 episodes are sort of complicating things.
	Get the fifth image up.
	I just looked up Carl Benjamin on Spotify, on Joe Rogan's podcast, and it's not there, so...
	Either there's an administrative error, I'm sure Carl's not the only one, in which they've taken down episodes of the top 100, or something's not right.
	I mean, we know about as much as everyone else looking at this, but it doesn't seem to be Rogan himself.
	There's obviously conspiracy theorists and whatnot who are like, oh, he sold out for $100 million and whatnot.
	Sorry, $10 million, I think it was.
	But he's recently gone on Alex Jones' show to have a podcast with him.
	It's 260 minutes.
	They're smoking tobacco.
	I'm reliably informed that he's only tobacco.
	And it's a good watch.
	I only got about halfway through and they haven't spoken about him taking stuff off YouTube.
	I assume this was done earlier than that.
	But, I mean, what do you think?
	Do you think Spotify are trying to put the heels on him and say, no, actually, those 100 are too spicy.
	You need to take them down off YouTube as well.
	I would think so because weren't some Spotify staff protesting some of his podcasts and saying that he was promoting extremist ideas or something, especially in relation to Alex Jones, supposedly, they weren't particularly happy.
	happy have you heard about that before yeah there was a small revolt what was it spotify hq where the the it wasn't like upper management or anything it was like lower management getting upset that he was platforming the far right and all this and it was like no that's not That's not only not true, but also just an absurd thing that you as the employee come in and say, I don't know, like a guy working at McDonald's saying that we're not going to run this advertising campaign because I disagree with it.
	Yes.
	They're going well beyond their kind of role within the company.
	Yeah.
	And also, they don't even have any kind of valid points because surely, you know, if you're running a podcast, you want a wide range of people, so you don't want to be picking from a selective portion.
	Well, these guys do, because they're progressives, and they're not interested in having actual diversity of opinion, are they?
	But yeah, that's what's going on with Joe Rogan's podcast at the moment.
	A lot of people are freaking out.
	I mean, rightfully, in my opinion, because I watch his podcasts, I think they're great, and I'm really quite disappointed that he's gone Spotify exclusive.
	Part of me didn't want to believe it was actually going to happen.
	Yeah, me too.
	I mean, I've watched so many of his podcasts on YouTube, it's like an end of an era almost.
	I mean, the thing that bothers me most, and this is, you know, with all YouTube does to try and shoot themselves in the foot, the biggest thing I actually like about YouTube is the comment section and the interaction you get.
	Because it does actually get a feeling of a community, whereas Twitter and Instagram are just not the same.
	I've actually found that I've spent so much time on YouTube now that if I watch a TV programme, I almost feel disappointed that I can't look at what other people are saying.
	It's become such an integral part of consuming any media now, the kind of public reaction to it.
	It almost is front and centre a lot of the times.
	Yeah, and I tried to watch on Spotify.
	I don't think they have a comment section, or at least I couldn't find it.
	No, I don't think they do.
	Which just sucks, because...
	I mean, this is like the Jack Dorsey episode, for example.
	It's probably the best example of this.
	Where they had Jack Dorsey on...
	I think he was alone.
	He didn't come with his lawyer that time, the first time.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And Joe had some really weak questions, and he admitted afterwards, yeah, I didn't do it properly.
	I should have had some much more strong things to say to this guy.
	But that only happened because of the community backlash.
	You saw there was a massive amount of dislikes, a massive amount of comments saying, oh, come on, why didn't you ask him about this, this, this?
	And then they had to reorganize it with Jack Broyd's lawyer and Joe Broyd and Tim Paul on.
	But that's not going to happen now.
	Or at least I don't know how that is going to happen because you can't have that amount of community interaction.
	Yeah.
	I think it's going to be strange going forward because Joe is actually quite good at looking at his comments and addressing the criticisms that he got.
	He was a bit more transparent than many other people and I don't know how he's going to be able to get any feedback beyond his social media now.
	Maybe emails or something?
	Yeah, it seems a bit disconnected and strange.
	Okay, so let's, I think we have some super chats, just we'll get out of the way before we go on to your communist advisor of Biden, which is scary.
	Where did we leave off?
	I actually can't remember, because I think we had a few left over from last time that we need to catch up on.
	Was forced into Islam.
	Okay, the Nico Bozo.
	Nico Bozo.
	Are they heretics?
	I think it was further down, actually.
	No, I think that's right.
	Okay.
	I know.
	I think Royal Ulster Constabulary.
	Yeah, we missed that one.
	Carl, before and after conservatism is true glow-up.
	Karl would disagree.
	He doesn't consider himself a conservative, but I can see what you're getting at.
	The Nico Bozo, are they heretics?
	Should and or could the Queen seize emergency power citing the plague to take control and override the British government and those of the colonies?
	That would be great to get rid of Trudeau.
	i mean this this is the wonderful thing about britain that in law i technically yes because she is the head of state she's the head of the army all the rest of it there's a great uh section in the crown on netflix where there's some labor government i can't remember which one and they're destroying the country and there's this small like coup and they try and convince the queen to actually take power because she is the head of the army i had no idea and thankfully elizabeth is just like no what's wrong with you we're not doing that
	but legally it's possible not saying it's impossible uh Snell Draco?
	I don't know how to say that.
	You're gay for Elliot Page.
	Lads, prepare your rear.
	I was wondering earlier, the sex scenes she's done.
	The actors that she did it with, do they think that they were doing a sex scene with a man?
	Or does that not know how it works?
	I don't know.
	I mean...
	Coffee Time General.
	Please remember, if you feel scared or frightened, think of the times you've felt happy.
	When day is dark, always remember Happy Day.
	Support local non-woke coffee shops.
	Okay, Coffee Time General?
	I feel like there's some kind of ulterior motive there.
	It was very uwu.
	There was a big cutie in the writing there.
	RedFoxMoon.
	With no Carl around, have some more simp dollarinos for Josh.
	Enjoy from Norway.
	Thank you very much.
	Norwegian...
	From Marcus Cicero.
	Carl, banning your son from video games, but when is he getting his first airfix?
	That's a good point.
	I mean, if he's banning him from video games, is airfix also haram?
	Surely you get the same kind of enjoyment, but...
	Is it ethics?
	Is it just like building, like, model...
	Yeah, so you get, like, you know, little plastic models or you can get...
	Ah, yeah.
	And you make RAF planes.
	Yeah, I remember doing that as a kid.
	Always do it for Christmas.
	Hangar the Viking, Germania Delante Est.
	Don't know what that means.
	Don't speak Latin.
	I think it probably means death to Germany.
	It's, uh...
	It's like Carthago Delende Est.
	It's like, furthermore, we must destroy Carthage, so...
	So furthermore, we must destroy Germany.
	I believe so.
	Not agreeing to the statement, but that's the translation.
	If you've got some spare time, anyone, I'd very much recommend Germany Must Perish.
	It's a great read.
	Daniel J. Corsica, I love the comment section of YouTube.
	All platforms need a comment section.
	This is the wonderful thing about the guys at Gab who made Dissenta.
	I don't know how much it's blown up, but that's the problem with news articles.
	You go there, and the news article is usually worthless, because it's just propaganda being thrown at you.
	But you can always go down to the comments, and then you can see the reality, how people react to it.
	Yeah, although quite a lot of the time in news articles, they're quite heavily policed, and a lot of the more interesting comments tend to be removed.
	Exactly.
	So this is the beautiful thing about Dissenter.
	It's a plugin for your browser where you can have comments and you can see other people's comments through Dissenter.
	So even if there is no comment section, you can still get the interaction.
	That's quite good.
	I haven't actually heard of it before.
	Yeah, but that's the virtue of having a comment section where you can interact with your audience.
	Because getting rid of one, it's just not the same.
	No, it's...
	Nicholas Insancio Melson.
	Hello, just wanted to say that this podcast is very entertaining, despite the news that question...
	Sorry.
	Despite the news that question the faith in humanity.
	I think I'm reading that right.
	Yeah.
	Keep up the good work, be well, and all the best for Carl.
	Thank you very much.
	You want to read this one?
	That's from Michael VPS, Democrats at Turkey, Delende Est.
	Disavow.
	I feel like Latin could become the dog whistle language.
	It kind of already is, in a way.
	Mute stream.
	Where's my Hugo?
	This podcast needs Hugo!
	Hi there!
	He's here.
	Don't worry, he's lurking.
	Stratos Radio Blues, I can't wait to...
	Wait your...
	What?
	Wait to...
	Oh, sorry, I missed one there.
	Reality Hijacked.
	Hugo, Storm and Conquer with your Germanic genes.
	Stratos Radio Blues, I can't wait to your takes off...
	Yeah, so there's a great clip that's come out, because obviously, oh, you've only got affidavits, you've only got sworn testimony.
	Okay, fair, that is an argument.
	but they've now released footage of what seems to show that the poll workers are there with a bunch of counters and people uh observers and they get rid of all the counters and the observers so it's just a few people left in the room all alone and then there's this desk which has like a curtain over it so you can't really see what's under it and this lady just pulls out these massive you know stacks what they're they're in boxes she She pulls out the boxes, opens up the box, and just pulls that stack off the stack of what look like ballots.
	That doesn't sound suspicious at all.
	I mean, hiding ballots under a table concealed by a curtain, that's...
	But you only brought them out after all the poll watchers have been kicked out.
	Yes, weird.
	Super sus.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the only argument that I've heard is, well, maybe they had a bunch of deliveries and they just put them under there for the time and then, you know, then they brought them out afterwards.
	I don't buy that because, well, what about the fact that everyone was made to leave and then they pulled them out?
	Yeah, it seems a bit strange.
	I mean, the only charitable interpretation I can think of is that it's just convenient.
	You don't have to move as far to get some more ballots when you've got through the ones that you've got.
	But I don't really know the process, and I haven't seen the footage because I've been researching other things.
	I mean, if they've got that clip, they'll have the full footage of the CCTV, so we'll see.
	Oh yeah, of course.
	Where were we?
	Um...
	The Earl of Longford.
	All voice like a thick hot chocolate.
	Keep up the work.
	Support the MacDonald proposal.
	MacDonald proposal?
	Thank you, though.
	I'll have to Google it.
	I'm assuming it's something about COVID. Anyway, let's move on to Biden's advisors.
	So Biden's picking his cabinet and getting his advisors in for different things.
	And what is this?
	The education minister has some pretty...
	Well, she's actually the advisor since this scandal's emerged.
	She said that she's going to stick to her role as the president of the California State Board of Education, But she's still a senior advisor for Biden currently and essentially she's praised the CCP or the Chinese Communist Party's education system and I think she's got a doctorate and she's been doing research in education since the 80s roughly.
	I had a quick look at some of her published articles.
	So she's been in academia for quite some time.
	What's her field?
	Do you know?
	I think she's an educationalist.
	So she studies in the idea of educating people.
	Yeah, so all of her research was essentially looking at how teachers can kind of conduct themselves, essentially.
	This is an image of her on screen.
	Yep, there she is.
	And she's also a university professor at Stanford, which probably surprises no one that she is praising communists.
	Yeah.
	So what does she think?
	She thinks the communist Chinese system is preferential and right.
	Well, she said, she described it as magical, which is a really kind of compelling...
	Praise of the system which is, you know, so extreme and designed to indoctrinate students, essentially.
	And I'll get into how it actually works.
	It's horrendous, by the way.
	It's really quite a terrible education system, not based in Any evidence whatsoever.
	But I would also like to point out that while she was the president of the California State Board of Education, they tried to make ethnic studies compulsory, and it only got struck down because the governor of California vetoed it.
	Of course they did.
	But...
	Essentially, in her 2017 book, which is called Empowered Educators, How High-Performing Systems Shape Teaching Quality Around the World, and supposedly this book had been flying under the radar for the past three years,
	and it's only recently emerged with her links to Biden, the kind of things that she's been saying about communist China and So, I've pulled a quote from the book, which is particularly worrying, I suppose.
	She says, in the Tao traditions of ritual, the phrase, heaven, earth, sovereign, parent, teacher, is repeated and becomes ingrained in how people see themselves holistically governed and supported, which is basically explicitly stating...
	That people in China willingly indoctrinate themselves by repeating statements until they believe them, which is like the quintessential indoctrination.
	You just repeat something until you believe it is true, which is some really 1984-esque stuff there.
	They're not just talking about, you know, you repeat a fact like you revise.
	It's repeating a philosophical or political thing.
	Yeah, it's deeply political, in fact, because sovereign refers to the leader of the nation, which is obviously President Xi Jinping.
	So the Chinese Communist Party as the deep ruler.
	And he's also been quoted to say that the education system should serve the Communist Party in its management of the country, and adherence to the party leadership is essential to the development of higher education in the country.
	So this is the...
	The education system that she is praising for some reason.
	I have no idea why.
	Like, the sole purpose of education is to serve the party.
	Yeah.
	And she thinks this is magic.
	Yeah, she wants to indoctrinate children, essentially, by the looks of it.
	Does she give anything else about, you know, what specifically she thinks is magical about it, or...?
	I think it's the student-teacher relationship.
	She likes the authoritative style, how they essentially are passive consumers of information rather than questioning what their teacher says in a kind of Western individualist style.
	So she is essentially saying that teachers should be the ultimate authority in the classrooms and children should have no say.
	They should kind of sit down, be quiet and be told what to think.
	Passive consumers who just accept what the teacher's saying.
	Exactly, yes.
	Very much reminds me of the sit in the pod, eat the bugs meal.
	You just will consume, literally.
	So I'll just go through what the actual education system entails in China, because it gets worse than this.
	So the average day in China starts at 7.30 in the morning and continues on until 6pm in the evening, which is already a really long day for a young person.
	But then many schools run classes from 7 till 9, which are kind of additional study classes.
	And quite often if the school does not run these classes, children will be doing homework until about 10 o'clock at night.
	So basically they're dedicating their entire day to their education.
	From start to finish, they are working on educating themselves, which sounds kind of productive in practice, but it's actually really maladaptive based on the kind of evidence that emerges from educational psychology, which I'll cover in a second.
	I wonder, is it because you have ideological sessions or things like that, so that's padding out the day?
	Or is it just the idea that if you just study all the time, you will get better?
	It's a bit of both, really.
	Because they do obviously teach the communist Chinese teachings to children, and they try and indoctrinate them.
	As he said, it's one of their main purposes of the education, is to brainwash these children, essentially.
	But I also think that, in part, they want to accelerate the rates of education so that they can compete with the Western powers on even footing, because at the minute, our education systems are far better than the Chinese ones, which is why there's a huge demand in China for Western teachers, and they pay them so much money.
	In fact, they once offered me to go over there, but thankfully I turned it down.
	Was that due to COVID, or...?
	No, I decided that I didn't want to live in a communist country.
	Shock horror.
	Yeah, who would have guessed?
	Is this for sort of, in the UK we'd say primary and secondary school, for the Americans you'd say kindergarten, high school, or is it, you know, is she also praising the university teachings?
	Because I know university in China is a bit of a joke.
	I think it's largely the compulsory education that she's talking about, because the universities in China are obviously not as good as the Western ones, but I think there's a bit of a different approach where there's a bit more autonomy in the students learning for themselves, which is just...
	Part and parcel of the content that they're going to be learning at the level at which they need to be studying.
	It wouldn't make sense for it to be taught because they have to work at their own pace.
	And there's no getting around that no matter what the government wants you to do.
	My understanding of Chinese universities is coming from a guy called Winston.
	I don't know if you've seen him on YouTube.
	No, I haven't.
	So my understanding is he went out there to teach medicine and he would teach medicine at the university.
	And the things he found...
	Was that the cheating culture on campus was very much ingrained, because you'd already gotten to university, so the assumption was you're going to be part of the ruling class anyway.
	So, fucking communist sirens every day, I swear.
	They're coming for us.
	Anyway, so the idea was that when you get to the exams or when they're selling you work, like, we'll just give you textbooks or give you the answers and make it extremely easy, because what was the point in having them fail?
	It also makes China look better if they have a higher rate of education, so it's good for propaganda purposes, even if they are inferior to Western graduates, in theory, or most of the time in practice as well.
	But I also would like to point out that many schools also hold extra classes on Saturday, which are between three to four hours and cover maths and science, so it seems like they hardly have any time off to actually develop as human beings.
	They are just sat there being kind of forced to consume information and the testing is just insane.
	Supposedly they test more than any other society and everything is taught to pass tests, which is a really poor way of educating people.
	And I'll go on to...
	So she thinks that this structure here, where essentially you don't...
	I mean, this is like you're saying.
	So the whole point of the education system is to make you obedient to the party and to serve the party.
	Ergo, making you educated all the time rather than a fulfilled person is the goal.
	So she's saying that that structure is ideal.
	And I'm assuming she's thinking because, oh, we'll just have the kids work all the time and therefore they'll be more highly educated.
	Not necessarily party stuff, if I'm being sympathetic to her.
	Yeah, but then at the same time, the working hours are a huge part of the Chinese system.
	And it seems like in China, they're deliberately making the days really long, so they can't have any outside influences beyond the state.
	And they also have people who go into Chinese classrooms, and they essentially police any Western ideals or signs of individualism or rebellion, and it's cracked down on and punished.
	Yeah.
	Well, so they have adults come in and observe the kids?
	Yeah, and they observe how the children behave, and if they do not behave properly, then...
	They give them Ritalin.
	So I'm going to compare this to one of the best education systems in the world, which basically does the complete opposite of that, and that is the Finnish education system.
	So in Finland, school starts at 8.15 typically and ends at quarter to three with an hour for lunch and they have 15 minute breaks in between each class.
	So they give them kind of enough time to enjoy their spare time, so to speak.
	They don't want to necessarily dedicate their entire lives to that education because it's viewed as being relatively unhealthy for developing well-rounded people.
	Which I agree with and I think my experiences kind of mirror this view and they believe very strongly in no standardised testing whatsoever because they believe that it leads teachers into teaching how to pass a test rather than teaching them the actual test.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you did psychology.
	I don't know how much...
	I mean, was it the case that in psychology you were intentionally learning how to pass tests?
	Because in physics, it really was that...
	Well, because human beings are so complicated, it's very difficult to test your understanding of human nature, because how do you really test that ultimately?
	Obviously, we were given essays and lots of coursework, but it was about the quality of the articulation of our arguments and how evidence-based they were.
	Rather specific answers.
	Yeah.
	So that's what the Finnish are doing.
	Yeah, so essentially they're saying, we don't mind what conclusions you come to, but we want you to make up your own minds.
	And as long as we are teaching you the correct process to come to rational decisions, then that is enough, which I agree with, to be honest.
	And I also really like that the Finnish have very high standards for teachers, so you need to be well qualified, and they have very high standards that they have to meet, more so than many other westernised countries, which I think lends itself well to developing...
	kind of holistic well-rounded children essentially in that they're able to consider a wider range of factors rather than just teaching them stuff to pass tests as the Chinese do and they also which is very important as well place an equal amount of importance on vocational courses alongside academic courses because Yeah,
	I think.
	Vocational courses that lead to practical kind of industrial skills actually tend to pay better, have flexible hours, and you're more likely to be able to run your own business.
	So really the advice of educators should be, you know, maybe go to university if you want to, but perhaps doing something more practically minded would be better.
	So, essentially, that's the difference between the Twitch stream.
	So you've got the extreme Chinese one, your education is to serve the party, and then the Finnish version where it's very individualized, or at least very individualistic, focusing on the fact that, okay, yeah, we could just teach you a bunch of stuff endlessly, but quite frankly, that's not really going to make you the best person you could be.
	Yeah, I think the difference is they're not teaching, like, they're not rote learning facts, they're not just regurgitating information like the Chinese do.
	It's more about giving people the skills to make up their own minds for themselves, which I think is...
	This, of course, gets into the obedience of it, because, like, the Chinese system, the reason you've got to just regurgitate what you're getting told is because if you go into the political world, that's what happens.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's reinforcing a mindset that you defer to authority, I think.
	That's, I think, probably one of the main purposes of the Chinese education system, is that they defer to the authority of their teacher.
	They don't question it.
	If they cause any trouble, then there will be problems.
	They're not treated as individuals.
	They are just kind of statistics that are PR for the Chinese Communist Party.
	I mean, this is why this bureaucrat-looking lady, you know, the trouble that we have with her saying, oh, it's wonderful.
	I mean, if you're very, I don't know, cynical or materialistic, you might think, oh, well, you know, they get higher grades.
	They're able to say more things.
	They don't even get higher grades.
	I mean, the Finnish system, the reason it's so successful is because their language and mathematical skills are higher than in anywhere else.
	So even on the materialistic side, the Chinese are also failing?
	Yeah, so there's pretty clear-cut objective evidence that the Finnish system is far better, and I'm sure that many people watching, and maybe yourself included, would say that you'd much prefer the Finnish system over the Chinese system, even if it were like a native-run system.
	But that's why I think, like, while we had enough evidence at this point from the Democratic Party, the way it's shifting, the reason she ultimately thinks that it's a good idea is not because of the stats.
	Like, I was assuming that maybe, you know, someone at home could think this.
	I don't actually believe she's looking at the stats and saying the stats are better.
	It's purely ideological, I think.
	I see no reason from any evidence.
	evidence.
	I mean, I've covered educational psychology relatively thoroughly while I was at university, and the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the kind of Scandinavian or Finnish model that that produces the best results.
	And I don't know whether you found that doing lots of exam-focused stuff was necessarily beneficial to you, but I certainly didn't, and I kind of...
	No, it was useless.
	I despised it.
	I got on with it, worked hard, but I also had a lot of contempt for it because I knew that I was wasting my time, essentially.
	I wasn't actually developing myself as an individual.
	These are the kind of people Biden's surrounding himself with.
	I mean, we saw the rest of his cabinet.
	A lot of them were very...
	Obama-type, boring, neoliberal, straight down the road.
	The only interesting one I've seen so far is...
	So there was a guy who worked under Obama for East Asian policy, and it's hilarious because you get all these criticisms of Trump, like, oh, he did terrible things over here.
	Oh, his foreign policy is a mess because he's so bombastic.
	But even the guy that Biden's bringing in to focus on East Asia, he gave an interview to The Guardian.
	His conclusions were essentially that...
	Yeah, Trump actually had the right idea, we're just going to copy his policies, but we can't tell anyone that, obviously, because then people will think that he's done a good job.
	I mean, I think Trump's foreign policy is one of his strongest parts of his presidency, to be honest.
	What do all these peace deals have in common?
	Yeah, it's funny that.
	There's peace in the Middle East all of a sudden.
	Well, somewhat.
	More so than there was.
	Anyway, do we have any superchats we should get to?
	And then we'll get on to the Eden success.
	So I wanted to end with a good story.
	A nice happy story about how we're actually winning.
	Or at least we're beating back the progressives somewhere.
	I mean, there's very little places in England where we are, so let's celebrate that again.
	I know that there is some good news.
	I mean, with that previous court case and now this, it seems like there's at least some pushback finally.
	Yeah, okay.
	So, Royal Ulster Constabulary.
	Biden is an Irish asset.
	Biden-EU collusion.
	Well, he's unironically said similar things, that he's almost contemptuous to Britain about how he treated the Irish, and he's holding it against us in our trade deal negotiations, which seems pretty unreasonable, really.
	Yeah, just personal spite.
	Yeah.
	He's an American anyway.
	It doesn't really matter about his heritage per se.
	I don't really know why he's holding this grudge, essentially.
	The Earl of Longford, coming for you, Mr Ruck, and Brits will sell you to us too.
	It's Mr Ruck.
	Do you get that reference?
	No, I have no idea.
	Sorry, Earl.
	Don't know how to say that.
	Sa...
	Sayorus?
	Looks like all the other ballots came in through the doors.
	Yeah, that's the funny thing.
	It's like, everything else came through the doors, everyone can see it, everyone can see the poll watchers.
	But these ones you found after everyone left, they're just hiding under a curtain.
	Okay.
	Luke, Sargon number 979 is missing.
	Yep, we spoke about that.
	If you look for it on YouTube or Spotify, it's gone.
	Yeah, nothing.
	Which, you know, maybe it's just Carl.
	Maybe it's just a bug.
	But...
	I don't know.
	It's difficult to say, isn't it?
	There's so much missing.
	I'm not sure that's the case.
	And we've got Royal Ulster Constabulary again saying, Irish getting rowdy, bring back black and tans.
	Disavow.
	Endorse.
	No, disavow.
	I'm joking.
	You want to read these?
	Sure.
	Deplorable pirate captain, and then it cuts off.
	Congratulations to Ado...
	Oh, God.
	On winning the election in Nambia.
	Yes, a gentleman with a certain German name has won the election.
	I think it's like a regional election in Nambia.
	It was the Gambia, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, I love his response, though.
	His response was, oh, don't worry, I have no plans to take over the world.
	It was like...
	That sounds exactly like someone with plans to take over the world.
	But it shows that he doesn't actually understand why people have this reaction to Adolf Hitler, because strangely enough, trying to conquer the world isn't the thing people got upset about.
	Because, I mean, Napoleon taking over everything, that doesn't make him an evil person for all of history, does it?
	The thing that makes Adolf Hitler the most evil person in all conversation is the other stuff he got up to.
	Absolutely.
	But I don't think in Africa they're quite as aware of European history, I would imagine.
	Yeah.
	I mean, we were talking about the fact that I think it's in Malaysia, there's a mural with that certain German man's name.
	Just people don't know what went on.
	So, Caveman81, funny how socialist communists preaching and praise communism, but none of them want to move to a communist country.
	Very true.
	I could always deport them.
	Tim Cornish, the lad stepping up, Josh getting some time on, and Hugo lurking about.
	Yahoo has disabled comments for some months.
	Yeah, why did they disable the comments?
	Yahoo have actually been really annoying.
	Now when you try and access their emails, they have like a 15-second timer that has to tick down unless you pay money to use their email service, which is just ridiculous.
	Okay.
	Mantis Rigger?
	I think so, yeah.
	Hungary uses the Chinese system and it has absolutely failed me.
	Everything I am and everything I do today to live my life I learnt after finishing college.
	It's a travesty.
	I'm sorry to hear that, but it is a terrible education system and I'm sure most of you watching have at least had some comparable experience with the focus on testing and less holistic development of...
	I mean, Hungary being a former communist satellite, I imagine they also inherited the same kind of system.
	Of course, yeah.
	Don't have to say that.
	I love how Finland...
	Sorry.
	I love how Finland give you sword for finishing degree.
	I didn't know they did that, but that's really cool, and I wish I studied in Finland now.
	I think it's actually a master's or something like that, or is it the doctorate?
	It's one of them, and they do give you a sword.
	I'm going to complain to my university now that I didn't get a sword.
	You can go to my graduation.
	Anyway.
	Christian.
	From a Finn, Jesus Christ stopped describing our schools as a good thing.
	They only serve to indoctrinate children into leftism.
	I don't know.
	I'm not in Finland.
	But to be honest, I can't imagine it's worse than what's happening in the UK and the rest of the Western world.
	Or especially in communist China.
	It's PhD.
	Oh, okay.
	I mean...
	Send us a message.
	Tell us what goes on, man.
	I'm only comparing, essentially, the end results.
	I don't know how the actual structure of the content of the education, so I'm only talking about the system per se, not necessarily what they're teaching, but it seems like the educational system seems to yield better results.
	Just to clarify.
	The Civic Nationalist.
	I have done both sixth form and college.
	I found more purpose doing mechanics than physics.
	You nerd Callum.
	Yeah, this was one of the things like this.
	I'm sure you experience it in psychology, but at university there's a sort of hierarchy of STEM subjects.
	Yeah, I was always at the bottom with psychology and like, oh, you social scientist.
	But the elitism in physics is obviously there.
	I think the only group anyone had a bit of a comradeship with was probably chemistry.
	But looking at it, we made fun of the mechanics students all the time and I kind of regret it.
	The engineering and mechanics students actually ended up learning more than we did.
	It's practical.
	It's the truth.
	1991 Shadow Heart.
	Good day, lads.
	Update.
	China is now tightening its grip over Australia.
	Please look into Belt and Road from the Victorian Premier.
	Seems China has bought our infrastructure outright.
	I think we do intend to cover something about the increasing tensions between China and Australia.
	I definitely think it's something that we should bring to people's attention because, quite honestly...
	It's really getting course, isn't it?
	Yeah, I mean, the Chinese are bringing out the fighting words, aren't they?
	The Earl of Longford.
	Ruining the continent is why people don't like Napoleon despite the banging tunes.
	But yeah, essentially.
	But him trying to conquer everything wasn't really the problem that people have with him.
	It's the Frenchness.
	He was also a horrible person too.
	Yeah, I imagine he was.
	Anyway, just scroll down.
	So, we have some good news.
	Sorry.
	Right, good news out of Eton.
	We covered previously, there was a teacher who made a video called, what was it, the fallacy of patriarchy or something like this, the fact that it's nonsense.
	It's the patriarchy paradox, I believe.
	Yes, that's right.
	And for the crime of saying that the feminists are wrong, he lost his job.
	The headteacher came to him and said, you need to take that down.
	You can't teach in the classroom.
	He's like, right, I won't teach in the classroom.
	It's my private work.
	But you give me one good reason to take it down.
	And he couldn't, so he didn't.
	And then they fired him.
	So he's countersuing to get his job back because he shouldn't have been let go.
	And the spokesman for the college gave a letter in the Daily Mail explaining his position since we've covered it.
	And you can get it on screen.
	I don't know why he's writing for the Daily Mail, but okay.
	I think you pronounce it the Provost of Eton College, or Provost?
	Yeah, it is.
	Something like that.
	So, he argues that the whole argument, well, the whole narrative we have, and the Free Speech Union have, and all the liberals have, that this is a free speech issue, is completely false, and it's a narrative that is, quite frankly, fake news.
	Which, okay, interesting phrasing.
	And in the last, he says, in the last few years speaking, sorry, he says, in the last few years, visiting speakers have ranged from the Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain to my late friend Sir Roger Scruton and indeed radical feminists and far different voices.
	So his argument is this can't be a free speech issue because we let people come and give speeches.
	It's like...
	That's not how that works.
	You're telling me this man who published an opinion in his spare time needs to be fired.
	But that's fine, because we let other people sometimes give speeches.
	That doesn't make any sense, yeah.
	Yeah.
	He also says that when the headmaster received complaints about the video, there were suggestions that it broke the Equality Act and education regulations, and they had the independent barrister at the college look over it, who said that in his written opinion this was indeed so.
	Which isn't a defense.
	His argument saying, well, this might be against the law to disagree with radical feminism, that's a contentment of the law.
	That's not showing this teacher to be in a bad light.
	But you wanted to say, because you were making points of your psychology background, the fact that they had this guy on and they've had communists over, they've had radical feminists over, they had Roger Scruton around...
	So, you know, this guy's video has to be pretty insane for them to justify that we can have the Communist Party over, but we can't have you expressing an opinion on YouTube.
	Yeah, and the thing is that I watched this video, I've watched it twice through now, and to be honest, it just struck me as like a first-year psychology lecture.
	It was pretty tame, and it's stuff that we've known for about 50, 60 years, and is essentially undisputed, you know...
	He's essentially just stating biological facts for most of the argument.
	And I'll run through what he actually says in the video in the main kind of gist of his argument just to show how uncontroversial it is.
	And so essentially he starts off by making the kind of...
	Scandinavian Petersonian argument of the more that societies try to be egalitarian, the more that their biological differences emerge.
	And that's kind of the predication of his argument against the patriarchy paradox.
	He's essentially suggesting that patriarchy has a biological basis, because in all societies around the world, men essentially are the dominant power, and generally speaking, the way that we discern what is biological and what is social in psychology is that we look for how widespread something is, and if we can see it in all cultures, well surely it must be biological.
	Yeah, I mean...
	I think he gives the description from the feminist perspective that patriarchy exists in all cultures for all time.
	He's like, well, it's pretty universal then.
	Well, actually, to play devil's advocate here, there are a few very rare cases of isolated tribes that live in the jungle where they have been socialised to live in a matriarchy, but then at the same time the men still fulfil their same biological roles of being providers and protecting and procreating essentially,
	which are By chance, the same biological pillars that he says predicates masculinity.
	And he goes on to reiterate that men are biologically stronger than women, which is why they adopt the kind of hunting, providing and protecting roles.
	And he also suggests that because men are, in the eyes of biology, more expendable, because the cost of losing a woman is far greater because they reproduce and the strength of the entire human colony is is weakened when a female is used whereas you can have fewer men and more women and still have a functioning society and there is further evidence for this from archaeological
	evidence looking at Neanderthals and comparing them to Homo sapiens in that they found archaeological evidence of wounds in Neanderthal women because they had less of a stringent gender difference essentially And therefore more women were harmed and hurt in their hunting role,
	which it has been proposed, although it's very difficult to verify something from so long ago, that that was why they died out and Homo sapiens succeeded, because we protected our women and the men died, essentially, whereas in Neanderthal societies it was a bit of both, and therefore there was less of a stable population, essentially.
	So you had more specialisation between the sexes?
	Yes, exactly.
	And he's also pointed to, although that women have been involved in combat roles at no point in history have they ever been on the front lines and been involved in the direct fighting.
	So make of that what you will.
	I think he mentions actually the IDF, the Israeli Defence Force.
	Yes, he does.
	So you have mandatory conscription for women in Israel, but even then they don't send them to the front lines whenever they can.
	Yeah, well he was saying essentially some of the equipment that they have to carry is just physically too heavy for them.
	They don't have the upper body strength that men have due to their production of testosterone that women otherwise have.
	But this is all biological, and this is why you're saying it's the kind of thing they teach you in psychology.
	It's like, look, the societies are different on gender lines and sex lines because of biology.
	Yeah.
	So is this something you actually covered in first year, or is it...
	This was essentially basics.
	This is fundamental, essentially widely accepted.
	There's no one really disputing it beyond ideologues, but most psychologists you would speak to, they would be like, yeah, what's the problem?
	There's nothing wrong here.
	The only thing that you could perhaps argue is that he says with a certain amount of certainty about stuff that we haven't actually observed.
	So there are theories about human evolution there that he expresses with perhaps a bit more certainty than a psychologist might, but they are still the most widely accepted theories.
	I would also like to draw attention to two things that he did say that I noticed that were wrong.
	One's a very trivial one, that he said that slave men built the pyramids but they're actually paid.
	We have the hieroglyphs to prove it.
	And also he said there's no evidence of matriarchy in nature but elephants.
	Types of spiders as well, I believe.
	Yeah, that's right, yeah.
	But nothing too related to human beings is essentially what you can take from that.
	I don't know about the animal kingdom.
	Is it primarily patriarchal or is it a bit of a mix?
	It varies.
	I'm not like a naturalist, but obviously you've got things like seahorses taking over the child-rearing role there, so it's not always along typical lines, but as a rule of thumb, yes.
	Anything related to humans as well is pretty common.
	Yeah, in mammals it's probably more common than in other species, like insects and crustaceans and that sort of thing.
	It's going to be a bit different.
	Is there anything else you got wrong, or...?
	No, that was it.
	Other than that, it was pretty solid, kind of evidence-based 30-minute video, and I recommend people actually go and watch it, because it was interesting to me to hear it articulated quite so well, actually.
	He was clearly a good speaker, and it's a shame that there's been so much pressure put on him.
	So, this is where the success comes in.
	So, I'm a member of the Free Speech Union, so you get emails from them, and he's also a member of the Free Speech Union, this teacher.
	So they're defending him and trying to get him his job back.
	And I think he's raised £50,000 now, which is a rather large amount of money.
	So I'm sure he'll get a good lawyer.
	That's probably like his year's salary at Eton, isn't it?
	I would imagine.
	Something like that.
	Eton's a very expensive place.
	I suppose, so yeah.
	Anyway, so I've just taken a couple of quotes out of their email.
	So they're talking about, you know, what's actually happened behind the scenes that the news doesn't report.
	So this speaker came out and said that, no, well, we're doing everything fine.
	Nothing wrong here.
	When in reality, what he'd done, he'd also sent a letter to parents saying that the disciplinary panel recommended that Nolan's dismissal concluded would have been, if he had gone to the disciplinary panel and said, oh, I'll just take it down, he would have been let off with a light hit, you know, slap on the wrist.
	When it turns out this wasn't true.
	So he then had to take this back after it became public knowledge because I guess someone leaked the documents or something.
	And the disciplinary panel had said even if he had taken down, he was still engaging in gross misconduct.
	So we were right to fire him even if he had followed the orders.
	Which...
	Okay.
	It's nuts.
	And he had to write to parents saying, oh, yeah, sorry, actually, I lied.
	Which didn't go down well with the parents.
	And it hasn't just gone down well not with the parents.
	If you can get the next Daily Mail link up.
	A bunch of old Etonians are also very upset about it.
	So they've actually managed to get rid of him from this procedure, the prost.
	And they've had his deputy put in instead to take over the procedure.
	Good.
	Because they're saying, right, okay, we could argue endlessly about the legalities of gross misconduct, but you should not be writing articles out in public condemning this guy whilst you're trying to take over his case and determine whether or not he's done anything wrong.
	That's a very fair point, actually.
	Perfectly reasonable.
	So this is the Old Etonians Association saying that Lord Walgrave had so publicly made his bias known ahead of the hearing, and therefore they wanted him gone.
	And he buckled.
	He resigned.
	He said, fine, I'll let my deputy take it over.
	But it's not just the people working at Eton.
	It's also the donors to Eton.
	Because this is the fundamental thing that I think kills social justice and wokeism, and Ben Shapiro argues for it a lot, which is if you're an alumni of a university or a school or a college, if you just say to them, right, stop this, or I'm not going to give money to you when I die, especially if you're one of the more successful alumni, they usually back down.
	Because you remember the Cecil Rhodes thing, like the donors wrote in and said, no, if you mess with this, we're just not going to give you money.
	And they buckled and they said, right, well, take it off.
	I don't know if they subsequently gone back on that, but I remember at the time they did this.
	And so the donors have issued a statement talking to the college saying,"...the sense among middle-ranking donors is that the least we can do is support the efforts of the current generation of boys who seem to have a better understanding of the school's values than its own leadership." Pretty scathing.
	And the number of students who have written in support of this guy has risen from 1,000 to 2,500 within a few days.
	That's a lot for Eton as well, because it is a really exclusive and prestigious school, I'm not sure.
	Incredibly exclusive.
	Yeah.
	It's got a ridiculous tuition fee per year, I think.
	My understanding is you used to be able to buy your way in back in the good old days.
	Now it's not just extremely expensive, but you also have to be very smart with the standards.
	So that's the good news there, which is that not only has he managed to raise a ridiculous amount of money, he's got the support of the Free Speech Union, who do great work and I'm sure will defend him very well, but also Eaton's donors and its alumni are not having this.
	They're like...
	No, you can't just fire a guy for publishing a video.
	There was an article from The Spectator, which we didn't get to because I didn't think we'd have time, but there's a lady arguing in there who, I can't stand this bigotry, where she says, essentially, because he'd made a video, and she's saying, oh, well, this video wasn't particularly good, I found a problem with this and that, therefore it's okay to fire him?
	As if he had given a perfect lecture, then it would be fine.
	But there's the thing.
	If you'd written a book, what, then it's not okay?
	Because that's what you get out of these people.
	Because it's a video, that's the problem.
	Essentially, it's the online world, it's not really as prestigious.
	I think because they would have to actually sit down and read a book, they probably wouldn't want to criticise it, they couldn't be bothered to put in the effort.
	Probably.
	Anyway, let's finish up with the Super Chats and then we'll take some questions and then head off.
	Again, sorry for Carl not being here today, but family emergencies are what they are, so you can't always be here.
	So, RedFoxMoon, I still want to know whether Hugo is French, German or Mexican, maybe Spanish.
	He's holding up a sign saying, say I'm a Cuban communist.
	It's not true, but okay.
	He said he was a citizen of the world, didn't you know?
	Cringe.
	1991, Shadowheart.
	I think that if the US loosens their strength in the Pacific, Australia will reconsider green power.
	The government will also reconsider giving the public our guns back.
	Australians all let us rejoice, for we are the young and free, Anzac spirit.
	I don't know about the geopolitical situation, but I certainly approve of you guys getting your guns back.
	I mean, I don't really...
	Like, Australia was with us because we were the naval power, and now I understand the Americans are the naval power, you know, especially the Pacific.
	Therefore, they're tied to them.
	But if the US isn't willing to defend them, I mean, they just sort of let the Chinese buy everything in their country, so...
	Yeah, it's slightly worrying the amount of financial influence and leverage that the Chinese have over Australia.
	It's crazy.
	I mean, this is why they're being so bold-faced.
	Yeah, because they know they can get away with it, because they can essentially sabotage the Australian economy, or at least damage it to the point where they're not going to retaliate to the Chinese aggression.
	Or just buy off every Premier.
	So Matthew Moore sends three Australian dollars.
	Thank you very much for that.
	Thank you.
	The Earl of Longford, Viva Louis.
	I wonder what Louis looks like.
	I don't know if he's done a face reveal.
	I'd love to get him in the office.
	We'll fly him out.
	I don't know why I'm promising that.
	I'm not entitled to the funds.
	Carl's in charge of that, but there we go.
	1991, Shadow Hearts.
	Hashtag Razor Fist did nothing wrong.
	My understanding is, yep, that's true.
	President-elect Svatnik.
	$5 from Australia.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	Interesting you're in Australia with a Slavic name.
	Okay.
	Going to do something?
	Yeah, sure.
	Philip Aboudi.
	You need to turn the volume down and move closer.
	I don't know which one of us that is.
	Sorry.
	Oh, it's Callum.
	Okay.
	Good, good, Josh.
	If you're going to adopt a RP accent, at least try to pronounce...
	You say thing instead of thing.
	It's rather incongruous.
	I don't normally do that, to be honest, and I don't really know why I've been doing it in the podcast.
	I think it's just because I get a really dry mouth.
	It's also a kind of a vowel shift that I'm seeing in the UK, especially coming out of London.
	Like, if you notice, you meet London girls and none of them say, like, a thing.
	There's a thing in it.
	I was never really close to London.
	I think I've been there about four times, so...
	You've been saved, that ordeal.
	Hopefully.
	1991 Shadowheart.
	Lads, thoughts on Joe Rogan nuking his full-length videos from his giant YouTube channel?
	Perhaps worth a segment in the next stream.
	Much love.
	We did just do it at the start of the stream.
	We covered it at the start.
	So if you scroll back, you should be able to get it.
	Essentially, I just don't know why he's doing it.
	I mean, I know he's got contractual obligations, but why did he sign that?
	Seems a bit unnecessary, doesn't it?
	Shaker Silver.
	Full days of Chinese school, reek of indoctrination tactics.
	No time to be away from indoctrination and being deprived of rest makes people suggestible.
	That's pretty much what I was saying earlier, and I 100% agree.
	It's a strategy.
	Absolutely.
	Just got to reload the chat.
	Okay.
	Useable lobster.
	Five dollars from Great Britain.
	I'm sorry, five pounds.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	And axis.
	Every Western nation should serve all economic ties with China, blockade all trade with them, and actively undermine their national stability until the Chinese people overthrow the Communist Party.
	100% agree.
	I mean, this is the sad thing.
	Military action seems to be off the table.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, they've got a population of one billion people.
	Even if all the Western powers were to go to war, it would be so bad.
	I mean, a trade embargo.
	That is still military action.
	You know, literally sending the fleets out there and being like, nope, no more trade.
	So we've got to start doing more economic measures.
	Absolutely.
	Anyway, if you want to put any questions in the chat, we'll answer them without having to send a super chat, don't worry.
	Just reading through it there.
	Someone's saying Cockney accent?
	Oh, you mean the Londoners?
	Yeah.
	The Cockneys, for anyone who's not been in the UK or not been in London for a long time, they don't exist in London anymore.
	They're a rarity.
	I think I've heard one Cockney in my life.
	Yeah, I read an article talking about their migration, and the migration has been away from London down into Kent, so they're sort of hovering around North Kent that's left of them.
	That's interesting.
	I'm assuming that's them getting richer and leaving because...
	I'd imagine, say, yeah.
	London's an S-word country.
	Anyway.
	Just trying to see any questions there.
	Too much manpower, that's what nukes are for.
	Yeah, but then Mao Zedong made a good argument on this, which is, you know, if there is a nuclear war, the West will send their nukes and we'll send ours.
	And sure, they'll kill half our population, but, you know, we've still got 500 million left over.
	We kill half your population.
	You're the net losers out of this.
	So...
	How are the chairs?
	The chairs are fantastic.
	Very comfortable.
	Yeah.
	Is it over for the Conservative Party?
	I don't know.
	Probably not.
	I mean, that party is...
	It just doesn't die.
	Like, no matter what happens to it, it doesn't die.
	Like, you would think after Theresa May, especially, it would have folded.
	I think it's just because of how unappealing the Labour Party is in opposition a lot of the time.
	Peter Hitchens had a good argument on this where he describes it as two corpses.
	It's sort of rigor mortis.
	They're keeping each other up when they all collapse.
	His opinion.
	How do you guys feel about London not being English?
	It's embarrassing and I don't enjoy visiting London.
	This is one of the things when me and Carl went to Poland for the Independence Day Parade.
	It sounded weird to the guy we were with, but we were looking at it and we were just saying, like, there's Polish people everywhere.
	We go to a Japanese restaurant and Polish people are running it.
	We go to an Indian restaurant and Polish people are running it.
	And this isn't to say that I dislike having Indian people or all the rest of it over, but it's that argument you endlessly hear that we need mass migration instead of migration, because then we'll have more types of food and everything.
	I was like, yeah, but you go to Warsaw, they seem to be able to make foreign food just fine.
	Like, I don't think you need the genetics to be able to make the recipe.
	I think it's just coming up with excuses for their own kind of ideological positions, isn't it?
	Absolutely.
	A lot of the time.
	Oh, we've got some super chats there.
	Adam1, you chaps are doing amazing.
	You all should rotate host and co-host.
	Personalities are A +, quality content.
	Thank you very much.
	Royal Ulster Constabulary.
	Restore the Empire to save the Anglo-Liberal Order.
	I really like Ulster Constabulary.
	He's really bringing some charm.
	The Earl of Longford.
	Regional accents are Kino.
	Don't you know?
	Viva...
	Sorry.
	Viva Louis.
	Rightful King of France.
	Rightful King of France.
	Okay.
	Yeah, regional accents are keynote.
	It's why Hollywood's more and more getting into using them, because you know there was this old thing of you would make people change their accents?
	I haven't heard about this, no.
	Back in the 30s, 40s, 50s, you would change your accent to become part of media, because it was understood that most people would understand you that way.
	Is it like the British BBC-speak sort of thing?
	Yeah, so that's the reason it exists, so that everyone can understand it.
	Because if you speak in a thick Scottish accent or Yorkshire, A lot of people might not.
	But they really are Kino.
	They're something to treasure.
	Caveman81.
	An armed society is a polite society.
	Manners are good when one may have to back up his axe with his life.
	It's a true statement.
	The Earl of Longford.
	Except Ulster, pretending to be a different language.
	Constabulary.
	I think you've got a challenger.
	How do you say that?
	Wolfault de Leon?
	Lion?
	Sorry if I've butchered your name.
	What are your thoughts on QAnon enjoying the show?
	I'm not really sure.
	I watched, what was it, Nuance Bro?
	Did a couple of interviews with some QAnoners.
	And I don't, I'm not even sure they understand what they believe.
	The only thing I understand of it is Q's meant to be someone in the Trump administration who leaks information, which, I mean, sure, everyone leaks information from an administration.
	I don't really know enough about it to really have an opinion, to be honest.
	Yeah.
	But I'm pretty much in the same camp.
	Although the ones I saw in Nuance Bro interview didn't seem to even know what they think.
	1991, Shadowheart.
	Let the commie bastards eat themselves, sever all ties with the CCP, the population will revolt, and maybe sanity will be restored in Asia.
	Moving on.
	That's his opinion.
	YouTube.
	Bunch of communists.
	Callum, do you think that the West could win in a world war against China?
	I probably have to consult, what is it, General Binkov?
	That YouTube channel?
	I think it's General Binkov.
	Type it in.
	I don't know.
	It's a great channel.
	He's got this little puppet, which is meant to be General Binkov.
	He's really good at assessing if there was a war between two countries, what actual military assets do they have?
	That actually sounds really interesting, yeah.
	Yeah, I'll send you afterwards.
	I think I actually remember seeing him doing the US versus China.
	And the big problem is it would probably turn into a stalemate, was his conclusion.
	Because it's all well and good that we could destroy their navy and blockade them, which would have a massive impact.
	But if you actually want to land in China with a land force...
	Yeah, well...
	Good luck.
	I think historically China was always quite stable because essentially the state of China was surrounded by a kind of an arch of mountains that kind of was a natural defense.
	And their only real kind of risk of invasion was from the north.
	Foreigners turning up ships or Mongols from the north because of the deserts.
	China would lose.
	Probably.
	I mean, that's his thing.
	If you blockade them, they will end up collapsing.
	but what do you consider victory?
	PM Roach.
	Hugo's nationality should be one of the benefits of premium membership.
	I'll suggest that to Carl.
	I'm liking that.
	QAnon was a hoax.
	The kid running the account came forward two years ago.
	If that's true, that's amazing.
	That's like the kid who was running the Black Lives Matter account in Australia.
	He ran away with like tens of thousands of dollars.
	Absolute mad lad.
	Trying to find some questions.
	Just flood China with heroin?
	Worked last time.
	Yeah, it's the old opium wars.
	Wolfrat Dillon?
	Crimes against children will unite the world.
	Cue.
	I mean, it sounds so basic and it sounds so true, but Britain has showed that that's not true, because we've had this and it didn't unify anyone.
	People just ignored it.
	Caveman, if you can scroll up, John.
	Just an idea, a basic English and English history and civics test where one wants to move and live in England.
	I'm pretty sure they proposed that at one point, isn't it?
	Part of the Australian point system that's been proposed.
	Yeah, so this is something great that the Conservative government has done, like to actually praise them for once, which is part of the immigration system we're going to have from the 1st of January is anyone coming here has to speak a sufficient level of English.
	They have a test for it, obviously.
	Which, why did we not have that before?
	It seems pretty fundamental.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I saw the BBC, they were publishing coronavirus advice in Urdu, Tamil, all sorts of languages, and I'm just like, why?
	No.
	Like, we shouldn't have to do this.
	It's propping up loads of bureaucratic jobs, I imagine, in the BBC. Probably the reason, yeah.
	Community leaders, like the interims.
	That's where the positions of power are, in keeping people segregated from the rest of society.
	Anyway, no one would win in a nuclear exchange.
	That is true, yeah.
	Everyone loses.
	What counts as sufficient English?
	I don't know.
	I haven't seen the test itself.
	But, you know, Priti Patel's making it, so I can't imagine she's going to be too lenient.
	They won't ignore when they see who's involved.
	We did.
	And, you know, I've worked on projects where we've made the full history of what went on in Britain, and we presented it.
	And sure, the people who watch it, they're upset, but no one empowers.
	Yeah, it's a weird kind of disconnect between the average person who clearly cares about it a lot, and then there's just kind of apathy among the elites.
	The ruling class just don't seem to care.
	It's always been a stable on social media.
	People are sharing news articles about it, and people obviously seem quite concerned about this sort of thing, but it's just that nothing ever really amounts to any of the investigations.
	I don't know what we're going to do about it, but that's just where we are.
	The Earl of Longford.
	Whatever conflict comes, it will sound like CIWS Burr.
	I'm assuming that's the A10. You know what I mean?
	Yeah, it would.
	Bloody missed it again.
	Oy vey.
	Well, 1 o'clock every day.
	Well, work days.
	If you tune in then, you'll get it.
	Should we wrap it up?
	I don't know how long we've been going.
	Yep.
	Hour and ten minutes, I think.
	Hour and ten minutes?
	Yeah, okay.
	Anyway, thanks for tuning in, folks.
	Sorry about Carl being here.
	Anyone just joining.
	He has a family emergency, so he couldn't be here today.
	But we will be back on Monday.
	We will just do this one Super Chat that's being highlighted.
	Please don't send any more.
	Last Super Chat for the night.
	Special live stream with the good Count Dankula and past Louis Nguyen.
	Our video interview is being planned with internet guests.
	Loving the episode tonight.
	Cheers lads.
	Yes, we are starting to plan guest lists and what we're going to do, I'm sure we can get Count Dankula down as soon as Scotland stops.
	Becoming a prison.
	And we'll get past the Louis on some point as well.
	So it's a good idea.
	Anyway, yeah.
	We're going to wrap up because we've got to clip things.
	We've got other things to do.
	Thank you for tuning in.
	We'll be back Monday, 1 o'clock.
	And Carl should be back then, I hope.
	And he will be hosting.
	And we'll have a good show for you.
	Sorry, what?
	Special guest.
	Do we have a special guest?
	Looks like we've got a special guest.
	Oh, we do have a special guest.
	Yeah, Andy, no.
	Well, there.
	There's the hype train.
	All right.
	See you soon.
