	Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
	Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Tuesday, the 16th of March.
	We're going to be talking about some fun topics today, which is why we're laughing as we begin the podcast.
	I've got something shill on the website.
	Yeah, this is Callum's fault because of his Indian accent that we're going to get into in a bit.
	But before we do, on LosC's.com we've got a brand new article by John Tangney about Alexei Navalny and the way that we have treated him, because of course Amnesty International have decided they're not going to treat him as a prisoner of conscience because of his political opinions, or at least ones that he held many years ago.
	Very interesting article, very pleased to have it.
	We've got obviously a bunch of other premium content and as, well not as we speak obviously, but after this I will be continuing to work on part two of the premium podcast building up to our book club on Brave New World.
	So hopefully that'll be recorded this week and probably out at the beginning of next week.
	But right, let's get to the boring stuff first Callum.
	Calm yourself and get to how the Grammys have gone woke and got broke.
	The Grammys being like the musical equivalent of the Oscars, as I understand it.
	Not something I've ever watched or cared about, but there you go.
	I'm some sort of cultural caveman.
	But you can go back a few years and find them being highly criticized for their lack of diversity and gender imbalance.
	As BuzzFeed tell us, it'd be no stretch to say unconscious biases practiced even by newly vetted and hand-selected members of the Recording Academy may still factor in Grammy nominations and wins.
	And I agree.
	I agree.
	And so if we go to the Grammys this week, we can see that women have swept the awards.
	It's like, right, okay, so what kind of biases are we talking about here?
	Obviously, radical left ones.
	So, as the New York Times tell us, no, Times or New York Post?
	I can't remember which one.
	No, I think it's Times.
	I think it's Times.
	Yeah, it is Times.
	But, yeah, so as they tell us, the producers of the show promised a night of respect and togetherness.
	Which is lovely, isn't it?
	And women won all the night's major awards.
	So saying, well, hang on, you don't have a gender balance there back in 2016.
	We want representation.
	Now, women have won all of the major awards.
	Let's talk about those biases, shall we?
	I suppose this is reparations?
	I guess this is, yeah.
	For all of these centuries of being oppressed by men, women have been given all of the awards.
	Do you remember that bit from Starship Troopers?
	Which bit?
	You were given first place, even though you came in fourth?
	Are you happy with your award?
	Of course you are, ladies.
	Aren't you?
	You earned it.
	But anyway, so other moments highlighted black protest, pride and anger.
	See where this is going?
	Someone called Lil Baby performed his song.
	That's a man, apparently, who calls himself that.
	The bigger picture is a dramatic showdown with riot police featuring a speech in which the activist Tamika Mallory said, President Biden, we demand justice.
	Pfft.
	Good luck.
	How do you think Biden cares about you now?
	Not even slightly.
	The guy who spells weekend incorrectly decided to perform last month's Super Bowl halftime show.
	He was shut out of the nominations entirely because...
	that he was going to do is boycott it.
	And he decided to boycott because of the secret committees that are apparently doing the judging for these awards, which is really amusing because it makes it sound like the Grammys have been taken over by socialists and now they're having their secret unaccountable committees.
	And because of those, he's like, I'm not going to submit my music to it.
	So basically, they've set up these secret committees, which are going to, instead of giving it out on merits, give it out on identity.
	And all the people who have got, you know, merit, let's say, are like, well, I don't even need your awards.
	I'll make my own awards.
	Yeah.
	I mean, like, you know, it's not like women and black people have never won anything or anything like that.
	They're complaining about the proportion of it.
	But yeah, so it's just really amusing how the actually sort of talented and popular people are actually boycotting it and the socialist committees are assigning like awards to people I've never heard of in any way, shape or form.
	So it's like, okay, well, that's very notable.
	But one of the most notable things is that Cardi B got to play there.
	You remember Cardi B? She was the subject of a Ben Shapiro lyrical roast for her wet-ass pussy.
	I think you can say that.
	I think I can say that.
	I mean, it's...
	But the Grammys, I mean, is this...
	Am I not allowed?
	I saw the best tweet about this.
	It was Lauren Chen saying, I think Islam might be right about the West.
	What?
	Well, I mean, how is she wrong?
	That's all I'm saying.
	I'm surprised that the description of the New York Post had, because New York Post is a bit more conservative than most others.
	But listen to this.
	Cardi B channeled her stripper past with some sexy pole dancing at 2021's Grammys.
	Yeah, okay.
	I think Western culture's done.
	I think it's just over.
	She oozed sexiness on stage, which, I mean, if you watch any of these videos, if you find this sexy, then the problem is with you.
	They got X-rated, apparently.
	They broke into WAP as Cardi and Megan writhed, twerked, and grinded together on a huge bed.
	It's like, well done, women.
	You've won the Grammys.
	And what do you do with this winning of the Grammys?
	You demonstrate that you are just holes.
	Women, as far as Cardi B are concerned, are just a hole.
	That's all that she's singing about.
	A hole in her body that is filled with moisture.
	That is her some contribution.
	The magnus opus.
	The magnus opus of womankind is I am a wet hole.
	That's disgraceful.
	It's absolutely disgraceful.
	Liberation feels sweet.
	Exactly.
	A few years ago, Adele was winning this.
	Adele, massively talented.
	Now, it's a black woman singing about how she's a wet hole.
	I would say that's a significant decline, but, you know, it was also the queerest Grammys, so that's good.
	We can go to the next one, John.
	The 2021 Grammys were hailed as the queerest in years.
	Oh, brilliant.
	That's amazing.
	This is the complete downward slide into degeneracy and mediocrity.
	They're like, yeah, this is women and queer.
	It's like...
	Identities.
	But you don't seem to understand that you are tying women and queer with just being a sex object and incompetent.
	And unpopular, incidentally.
	But anyway, obviously it didn't...
	Before I go on...
	Right, so lesbian MSNBC host Rachel Maddow won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for Blowout, Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest Most Destructive Industry on Earth.
	What?
	They might as well give something to Alex Jones there.
	I mean, a level of conspiracy theory Rachel Maddow comes out with.
	It's amazing.
	Like, this is how politicized you can see this is, right?
	And so, yeah, the women have won everything.
	It's the queerest one ever.
	And, of course, there was a tribute to George Floyd, a song called I Can't Breathe, which, I mean, if we go to the next one, John, it's just like...
	Is that like...
	That's what he would have wanted.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Just...
	Oh, I can't breathe and I don't know where I put my fentanyl.
	So this one, Song of the Year, apparently.
	And the songwriter Her won Song of the Year for it because he was pinned to the ground and said, I can't breathe multiple times and therefore they made a song.
	Just to be clear as well, this isn't song of the year because it's the most popular downloaded song of the year, but because a committee of social activists decide, this is my song of the year.
	Yes.
	This would be socially appropriate to have a song of the year, just as it would be socially appropriate to have Cardi B say, I'm a wet hole.
	Makes you pull out game weaker here.
	You gotta understand.
	You know, the magnificence of Cardi B's wet hole is something to really behold, apparently.
	I should really check out Arabic Twitter right now and just see if they're reposting it.
	We're just like, you know, this is women's rights or something.
	Yeah, yeah, this is why the West should be destroyed.
	And I'm like, hmm.
	I can't muster a counter-argument.
	But on the plus side of all of this, of course, when you go woke in this extreme way, you, of course, go broke.
	And the CBS broadcast last year got something in the realm of 18 million live viewers, and this year it got nearly 9 million.
	So literally halved their audience with this.
	Good job.
	Well done.
	I mean, they don't care about the audience.
	No, they really don't.
	They don't seem to understand that it was the size of the audience, the prestige of the event, that made it important.
	And by literally telling most of the audience, or half of the audience, that actually we don't care about your opinions, we don't care about your socially conservative ways, and this is women and queers Grammys now, then they just turned off, because they're actually not compelled to watch it.
	And the prestige came from so many people watching, and if that just keeps going down...
	You've just halved your own prestige there.
	Yeah, in one year.
	That's the thing, in one year.
	What's it going to be like next year?
	Five million people?
	Four million people?
	When it gets down to a few hundred thousand, are they just going to cancel it?
	Or are they going to continue putting this on as a kind of showpiece?
	You know, like the facade of...
	like when a regime has fallen or something like that and carrying on the traditions of the old regime, even though it's gone, you know?
	Um, but, uh, but yeah, and this is not because of course, like CBS can get low views.
	I mean, the interview with Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle got nearly 18 million views.
	So it's not like people aren't watching this network or something.
	Uh, it's literally because no one's interested in your woke bullshit.
	Shouldn't swear.
	Um, But anyway, the only thing that was actually even vaguely interesting or notable about the night seems to have been Bill Burr making a really, really soft, tepid feminist joke.
	Anti-feminist joke.
	And this is, like...
	I mean, Bill Burr normally goes quite hard on things, and I like that about Bill Burr.
	That's what makes him funny and worth watching.
	That's probably why they invited him.
	I bet the people who run these things are amazed by how popular Ricky Gervais was, going hard after people, and want to replicate it.
	Yep, and I don't doubt.
	And they're like, okay, well, who's the last straight white man in Hollywood, or in the music industry or whatever, and it turns out it's Bill Burr.
	So let's just listen to his joke.
	Alright, hey, how many feminists are going nuts?
	Why is this cis white male doing all this Latino stuff?
	That was it.
	Why is this cis white male doing all this Latino stuff?
	The controversy obviously being he didn't say Latinx, I assume.
	Really?
	No.
	But that's the joke, right?
	That's the joke that everyone is offended by.
	And as you can see, Pink News here is, oh, how could you?
	He's facing...
	Good way of proving him wrong.
	This joke, you're all offended by everything.
	Us, offended.
	Yeah, he's facing backlash on social media over this.
	He began his routine by mocking a piano for performance.
	He walked on stage to saying, was I the only one who wanted to kill himself during that piano solo?
	Turns out you were, actually.
	And this controversy comes just months after Burr was roundly criticised for cracking jokes about Pride Month and racism during a guest slot on Saturday Night Live.
	And do you remember this, when he was on Saturday Night Live, talking about this?
	This was actually really funny.
	He was like, the month of June is gay pride month.
	That's a little long, don't you think, for a group of people who are never enslaved?
	I mean, that's not wrong.
	What is it?
	Black History Month is the shortest month of the year.
	Yeah, yeah.
	How did they get all of June?
	Black people were actually enslaved and they get February.
	They get 28 days of overcast weather.
	Like, he's not wrong.
	Black people demand your rightful month.
	Or trade June with you.
	Yeah.
	Give the gays June.
	February.
	But, of course, the backlash to this was just...
	Idiots on Twitter.
	And one of them, I think we found the biggest idiot of all Twitter.
	Because, I mean, obviously people were like, oh, well, Bill Burr's a racist, even though he didn't say anything about race there, you know, whatever.
	And then someone posted a picture of him and his wife.
	And if we can scroll up a little bit, just so we can see his wife.
	So there's him and his wife look happy, normal, like nothing objectionable about that.
	And then in comes some chap called Claiborne Griffin with a verified checkmark, which is how you know he's dense as anything.
	And he says, while I'm not suggesting Bill Burr is a racist, a white man having a non-white wife can sometimes be a sign of racism.
	So you shouldn't assume someone isn't racist because they own a minority sex servant.
	They may very well have one because they're racist.
	Having a wife is having a sex servant.
	Yeah.
	This guy just carrying his brain around like, oh god, I'm about to drop it.
	Boom!
	Oh god, I can't get this huge brain back up again.
	Zuby at the bottom there, well done.
	Worst tweet ever.
	The competition is tough.
	You won, you can delete your account now.
	62,000 likes.
	He's not wrong at all.
	I love this so much, right?
	Don't assume someone isn't racist just because they own a minority sex servant.
	They own.
	Bilba owns his wife as a sex servant.
	I bet she'd be thrilled to find out.
	She's probably worried about competition or something.
	My husband's a famous comedian.
	I've got to make sure the other girls aren't going for him.
	He's like, no, no, no, don't worry.
	You're just a slave to him.
	What are you talking about?
	He's not going to get rid of you.
	He bought you, I guess.
	He's not wasting good money.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Calm down, it's just that he's a massive racist and slave owner.
	Like, genuinely, Stevie's right, the worst tweet ever.
	What a horrible, horrible way of just formulating anything.
	Imagine you thinking like him.
	Imagine being, like I said, you see a black guy and a white guy, and you're like, well, I mean, I don't think Bill Burr's a racist, but hold on a second, because just because I don't think he's a racist doesn't mean he isn't a racist.
	He owns a minority sex slave.
	This very much reminds me of the whole, like, you know, woke and racist meme, where they're both agreeing on the same thing.
	Oh, totally.
	It's like, every time they see race mixing, they're like, there's a problem here.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	This is just...
	It's just, like...
	Oh, God.
	It's...
	This is where the progressive left is at the moment.
	Women are wet holes.
	White men who date black women have sex slaves.
	And the queerest Grammys and least successful Grammys in history are a good thing and should be copied.
	I'd love to see, like, if they get to 200,000 viewers, like, what do they even do?
	Like, what's the budget for the venue at that point?
	Like, you gotta start making the Grammys out of, like, I don't know, tin.
	Grammys are in a shed somewhere.
	Like, aren't they already a bit of a joke?
	Like, I remember The Simpsons used to have jokes.
	I can't remember if it's the Grammys or the Oscars or one of them, where it's like, oh, okay, and then you throw it away.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't care about any of these things, so they're worthless to me in their entirety.
	I just love how it's a piece of their power play.
	I mean, Hollywood is something for leftist Americans to use as a place of power.
	Yeah, cultural power.
	And they're destroying it themselves.
	Yeah, they are watching Wokeness completely ruin it.
	And again, the way it's run in a non-transparent way by socialists, frankly, they're just degrading women and gay people and minorities.
	I wonder, why did they invite Bill Barr?
	There's no way they didn't know who Bill Barr was.
	Bill Burr.
	Sorry, Bill Burr.
	Just getting mixed up with Bill Barr.
	Yes, you are.
	I assume it's because someone's like, well, he'll say something that will go viral.
	Yeah.
	Which he did, I guess.
	I mean, there's your victory.
	Yeah.
	I would have hoped if he did a Ricky Gervais and flamethrowered them, to be honest.
	Yeah, that would have been much better, wouldn't it?
	Yeah.
	But, uh...
	Anyway, so let's go on to something that's a little more funny, and sorry for the laughing in the intro, but this is just amazing.
	So it's another one of those knife fights where different identity politics are just fighting each other, and it's amazing to see.
	Which team are we on?
	We're on, I mean, again, we're sort of like throwing money in the middle, but there is one team here that I think knows that they're just having fun with it.
	So the first thing I saw was this trending, which is an Indian MP raises in the, I presume, Indian Parliament that there's racism in the UK, and he mentions that the UK is somehow some kind of racist country, and the Indian Parliament needs to bring this up to the UK government.
	Right.
	Look, I... Are we, India, are we pointing fingers about racism, are we?
	Does India have no problem with racism to the point where you're like, well, we've solved that problem, now Britain, oh gosh, racism, come on.
	So his argument goes that if there's racism practiced by the royal family, the highest level of society in Britain, then what about the lower levels of society?
	There's going to be much worse for racism.
	And he says that there's segregation of migrants going on in the UK, which maybe he's referring to Trevor Phillips saying that the UK was sleepwalking into segregation, but that's not because we have a policy of segregating whites and non-whites.
	It's that people live among their own communities.
	So you have, like, the Irish live here, the Indians live here, the Pakistanis live there, that kind of thing.
	Which is universal.
	It happens in every country.
	So, I don't know.
	He also says the death rate of Asians is higher in the UK, and then complains that this might be because of access to healthcare in the UK. I assume he means coronavirus.
	Yeah, which I also don't get.
	We have free healthcare at the point of service for everyone.
	And more importantly, it's more about your own lifestyle and choices.
	So on a surface level, this looks absolutely just idiotic.
	And of course, we're going to make it the point that it's even more idiotic coming from the state of India.
	And we could do this argument of like, oh, we'll look at India.
	So if you can get the next link, the Washington Post.
	This was a survey done a long time ago.
	Would you have a problem with a people of another race living next door to you?
	And India scored most upset by that.
	I mean, the country with the caste system.
	Yeah, big surprise.
	And then there's...
	And also the fact that...
	I notice how we're among the least racist countries...
	Yeah, at a global scale, the West is the place that doesn't care about race.
	Apart from France.
	But that's them.
	So there's also the point of, like, India and England have never really had race problems on the same level as, let's say, white and black Americans.
	That's not really been the case.
	I know a lot of people try to make the history of that, but it's not been.
	No, no, it's not.
	We'll go to the next link.
	This is, like, the list of ethnic minority politicians in the United Kingdom, just for the best point here.
	If you can scroll down to the first one there.
	1842.
	Anglo-Indian.
	That was the first politician of an ethnic minority background.
	And there was a whole bunch of Anglo-Indian, British-Indian politicians coming up since there.
	You'll notice we have the first MP of a minority background.
	What was it?
	23 years before the US stops slavery.
	So before they've even realized that maybe brown people are people, we've got MPs that...
	This really explains the American propaganda.
	It's like, the English will talk to a black person as if they're a person.
	It's like, well, we're kind of used to them, you know?
	Wow.
	And this is the point I wanted to mention, the Robert Conquest book I've been reading.
	He makes a point there, like, his grandfather wrote a book with an Indian who wrote down the oral poetry that his family had known, so it was codified.
	And he opens it with, like, I want to give great thanks to my friend so-and-so for helping me out with this.
	And you just compare that to how the Germans spoke to Slavs, never mind Jews.
	Like, would they ever start, thank you to my good friend, you know?
	Not very likely.
	Not going to happen.
	And of course you could carry on with this argument in which you look at just Indians in the UK, how they're doing.
	So if you get the next link and go to percentage of households in weekly income bans, if you just do the highest there, you can see the people who are the most, Indians.
	Indians, number one.
	So we need to talk about Indian privilege.
	Yeah, I mean, then you've got, you know, white other, Asian other, Chinese mixed all, and then white British, and then other Pakistani, Bangladeshi, black at the bottom there.
	I mean, okay, so how are the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis doing so poorly compared to the Indians when they come from exactly the same place?
	Culture.
	It's that simple.
	It's funny, isn't it?
	So it's something we can actually learn from.
	I mean, we're looking at this as liberals alike.
	Can I just point out that white British seem to be doing very poorly as well?
	Yeah, but we don't turn around and be like, therefore, privilege is for white people.
	No, look at the Indians and the Chinese.
	They're doing pretty good.
	We need to learn from them.
	We need to start adopting some of their financial practices, surely.
	Anyway, and this is what we could do, but it turns out that that has nothing to do with this guy's argument.
	This guy is not actually trying to make the game of India has suffered from UK racism and the UK must look to itself.
	He's not an SJW. He's from the BJP, the Hindu Nationalist Party, the right-wingers.
	So the game he's playing here is something way funnier and the reason I was laughing.
	So if you go to the next link, this is some Indian reporting on a case.
	So an Indian lady...
	She went to Oxford studying in India.
	She went for the president position of the Oxford University Student Union.
	She got it.
	And then a bunch of SJWs dug up a bunch of her Instagram posts.
	I'm so offended by you saying this thing.
	What did she say?
	They never really tell you.
	None of the outlets seem to tell you.
	They just make references.
	Well, I'm just saying that Mein Kampf is a bestseller in India.
	So yeah, I mean, you would be suspicious.
	But it doesn't seem to be anything actually that extreme.
	It's just things that would upset SJWs.
	So if we can go to the next link, or if it's not loading on our website with traffic at the moment.
	Anyway, so some of the things that are mentioned here, that there's a Holocaust memorial post, which offended people, but they don't tell you why.
	There was a post about Chinese people where she says, or something like that.
	But again, there's no context.
	And then there's a post where she says that she used the word trans women, not just women.
	I don't even know.
	It's just so weird.
	The offence seems to be completely SJW, so I'm not buying it for a second that she's actually done anything wrong.
	But the news before that was complaining that what happened to her is horrible because it's cyberbullying of an Indian student and therefore the UK is a racist place.
	And that's what the MP is referencing.
	And she says in here, which is very revealing, what happened with a British...
	What happened with a British royal is not India's business, and New Delhi understands that.
	But the cyberbullying of an Indian student needs to be addressed.
	So the criticism here is nothing to do with how Britain's run.
	This Indian lady has lost her position as president, and the Indian right wing or Indian establishment are upset with that.
	And they're claiming that this shows the UK is a racist country because they've been cyberbullying this lady.
	So they're not accusing the government or the country.
	They're accusing the SJWs of being a bunch of racists who hate Indians and Hindus.
	Well, of course they are.
	So this is going to be the war now.
	It's going to be the Indian right-wingers saying, you hate us because you're Hinduphobic.
	Throw my money in.
	Let's see who wins.
	So she apologized in response to those posts, which was pointless, had to resign.
	And then she said that the cancel culture mob got her, which they certainly did.
	So if we can go to the Twitter post in which she's complaining that Twitter then took down her account.
	Apparently some of her other accounts were taken down.
	Which, for what?
	Because this didn't seem to be offensive at all.
	It was just SJW's offensive.
	But, I mean, Twitter and whatnot are run by SJW, so I guess we know.
	And the Inquisition also came after her.
	So the Oxford Student Union Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality said that not only did she post racially insensitive captions on social media, but she also proceeded to deny the harm used by her actions and when questioned about it.
	I was like, What harm?
	Yeah, what's she done?
	Nothing she can talk about.
	And then she got a bunch of, like, nasty messages from this.
	So if you just click on the image...
	This is from radical leftists sending her horrible, horrible messages.
	By the looks of it.
	Oh, look at that!
	You're a transphobic, racist, insensitive student union president of Oxford, right?
	Next one.
	We'll go to it.
	So, your face looks like a black horse's ass.
	Ching-chong, that.
	C-word.
	Hang on, Chinese person who's offended by racism.
	What were you saying about the Indian lady's face?
	Yeah.
	Let's go to the next one.
	And then someone's saying, you can stay there, you racist F. But what about the other guy?
	This is after she's gone back to India, so he's sort of like, you know, stay there.
	And then there's, you know, complaining about her.
	And apparently her parents also were saying that a mosque being blown up was good, so they're saying in here...
	But I don't know what's true, and I don't buy the SJWs are telling the truth for a second, but I love the phrasing here from this guy.
	Hindophobia seems to have no limits.
	Hmm.
	That's true.
	This is an interesting vector of attack.
	So it's like, you get criticized by the SJWs for doing a thing that they say is offensive, and I'll buy it for a second.
	I think that she probably did nothing wrong by the sounds of it.
	She just expressed her opinion.
	From the position of a normal person, she did nothing wrong.
	And then the attack in the response is not, you're a bunch of nutjobs, but instead, you're being Hindu-phobic by criticizing me, which is exactly the same tactic the Islamists have been able to use in response to criticism of Islam, and it's worked tremendously well for them.
	It has.
	So I don't see how it might not work.
	So we can go to the next link here.
	This is news talking about it.
	So this is an article she wrote in response.
	Being Hindu doesn't make me intolerant.
	I love it.
	I love the switcheroo of it, and then there's nothing they can do.
	So she mentions in here she was born in a small town, neither of her parents had degrees, she worked really hard, got the job in university, moved to Oxford, and I'm just like, yeah, okay, actually, thinking of it in just normal terms for a second, away from IDPOL, this is horrible, because this person is smart, they know what they're doing, has managed to get a degree, and screw that, she said something wrong, as if that's important at all.
	Well, she said something wrong by the standards of radical leftists.
	Yeah, so one of the things she said, she actually said it here, she compared Cecil Rhodes to Adolf Hitler.
	She said that Rhodes was no better than Hitler himself, which, I mean, I disagree with, because, I mean, from an English perspective, that's absolutely, obviously silly.
	Well, again, not just from an English perspective.
	Sorry, yeah, from any perspective, it's silly.
	I mean, Hitler was a genocidal maniac who tried to conquer the world.
	Cecil, an imperialist.
	Okay.
	He wasn't trying to genocide the people there.
	He was of the view that the people he was making into colonies were people that needed to be taught how to be civilized, which is one thing.
	And then there's murder everyone in the country, which is a different thing.
	But anyway...
	She also points in here that in her manifesto she uses language like she needs to seek a policy of decolonization at the university and words like the global south instead of third world.
	Which is very telling.
	She knows what's going on here.
	She knows the game that's being played.
	But she's also incredibly smart and I love it.
	She turns around and she's like, you're a bunch of hindophobes and you hate me for being Hindu.
	It's because I come from the global south, isn't it?
	Yeah, and what defense have they got?
	It's fantastic.
	So the next link here is her going on some show and complaining about the intolerance of liberals and the woke.
	I mean, she's right.
	She's absolutely right.
	These people are terrible.
	And she mentions that there's intolerance of Hindus on campus.
	And to be honest, I can actually imagine that of the Pakistani community here, there probably is large intolerance of Hindus and of India.
	I mean, surprise, surprise.
	I mean, two countries that hate each other in a bit of war and had several genocides.
	Being Israeli and being like, these Palestinians hate me.
	Yeah, which I'm not inclined not to believe.
	And then there's the next link here, which is like the news covering it.
	And, you know, let's play it.
	Just hit, like, watch again.
	and we'll watch like the first 30 seconds just to get a taste of Indian news.
	Explosions!
	Oh, gosh!
	I'm going to fold it.
	But just like, I love it.
	I love all the graphics.
	Everything's changing every three seconds.
	Flashing lights, things exploding, dramatic music.
	Screaming Hinduphobia every three words.
	There's something beautiful about it.
	I can't be upset.
	It's just great.
	Oh, man.
	So that's what's going on there, which is just the switcheroo of, like, no, no, no, this is definitely Hinduphobia.
	You guys need to stop being Hinduphobes.
	Yeah, I'm all on board.
	I'm all on board the train.
	This is somewhere taking it down.
	The thing we were laughing about was, I could just imagine, like, Piers Morgan doing this.
	Like, that's GB News.
	But he's just shouting, like, no, this is your Anglophobia.
	But he's also got to do it in an Indian accent.
	Like, purposely.
	Get on it, Piers.
	Yeah, you've got your inspiration.
	Oh man, that would be great.
	If GB News are not nearly as polished as that, I'm going to be very disappointed.
	No, if you're going to get beaten out by the BJP outlets, then not good enough.
	But I love it, and I'm sort of...
	I see what they're playing at.
	So you see this guy here, him complaining about the UK being racist.
	That's what this whole game is.
	It's them trying to get back at the woke people who are trying to take Indians down in the UK. And I mean, I'm not opposed.
	No, not at all.
	Again, we got no go in this fight, but it's...
	Sorry, dog in this fight.
	I keep getting that.
	No, I did this the last time.
	I honestly thought the term was goat in this fight for some reason.
	Well, it probably was back in your Russian village when you were raised.
	But the Indians understand.
	These guys understand, these BJP politicians.
	She understands.
	She's very smart by the looks of it.
	And they don't care about woke nonsense.
	I mean, if you sat down and spoke to these people honestly, I bet none of them would give you stock nonsense about wokeism.
	And they're definitely not woke.
	But they will absolutely use all of that terminology to destroy their enemies, which happen to be the woke morons in this case.
	And I'm all for it.
	Go for it.
	God save India.
	You know, three cheers for the Indians if they're going to bring down the woke nonsense.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	I'm in awe at their brilliance.
	I started reading this and I just looked at myself like, man, we are stupid.
	We are really stupid.
	We should have been accusing them of anglophobia the whole time.
	Yeah, we've been wasting our time.
	If we could do that instead, that would be much more worthwhile.
	But of course they've got the added advantage of being non-white skin, and therefore they can use the argument, whereas when we do it, they just say, no, you're just white supremacist.
	So it doesn't really have to say rebuttal, let's say.
	But yeah, we're not a racist country, but the woke are racist, and therefore they are anti-Indian, therefore India number one.
	Well, I mean, I agree.
	Yeah.
	God bless India.
	India number one.
	Come and destroy our woke leftists and Islamists, please, Hindus.
	So I look forward to Piers Morgan on GMB being like, no, no, anglophobia!
	Screaming at the TV. That'd be great.
	So, you know, speaking of anglophobia, let's talk about Nish Kumar.
	Do you know who Nish Kumar is?
	He's the guy who got bread thrown at him for being unfunny.
	He is.
	That's exactly right.
	He went and did a comedy show for...
	I can't remember who it was for.
	It wasn't for the usual sort of woke left-wing London crowd, though.
	And he started trying to, like, roll out his college tour, like, material.
	So, oh, yeah, Brexit isn't that bad.
	And they were like, no, we voted for Brexit.
	Brexit bad, Britain bad, white people bad.
	Yeah, isn't everything racist?
	Exactly.
	And then people started throwing bread at him.
	And the thing is, this was in the first, like, 20 seconds of his show.
	Like, he literally just got out on stage and people started throwing stuff at him.
	And so, anyway, this chap ran...
	I say ran, but then I'm spoiling the good news.
	He ran a comedy show called The MASH Report on the BBC, which started in 2017.
	And it's been for quite a while now that the BBC has been under charges of being a left-wing propaganda outlet, having a severe left-wing bias.
	You can go back to this one in 2014, where Robert Peston was asked about this, and he just said,"'Bollocks is the BBC institutionally biased to the left.'" But the thing is, this was kind of one of those things that you couldn't really keep under wraps because it was so self-evident that they all had massive left-wing bias.
	And we'll just go back to 2020 with Emily Maitlis, who had a rant about Dominic Cummings, and BBC was swamped with tens of thousands of complaints because she let her left-wing bias show.
	She declared the fact that the Prime Minister's senior aide had broke the rules and Johnson's blind loyalty to Cummings...
	Allegedly led to fury, contempt and anguish from the public.
	The BBC deleted the viral clip of the rant from Twitter and issued a statement that said it did not meet our standards of due impartiality.
	With no indications that she would be penalised, the broadcaster also stated staff have been reminded of the guidelines.
	She didn't back down on her little rant and rave there.
	She didn't apologise but instead thanked her followers for their support.
	Because apparently BBC anchors get to be political pundits and activists now.
	Which is nice.
	And in 2020, there was a Commons hearing about this where Philip Davis was grilling the BBC, the director general at the time, which is Sir David Clemente, chairman of the corporation.
	And he was like, no, no, don't be ridiculous.
	Just because Gary Lineker is spending all of his time Ranting and raving on Twitter about politics and opposing Brexit, that doesn't mean that we have a left-wing bias.
	You know, don't think that this is a grand conspiracy of left-wing bias at the BBC. It's like, okay, well, we'll get to your grand conspiracy of left-wing bias.
	Philip Davies, who's one of the best MPs we have, said they wouldn't dare say that they voted Conservative in the BBC, but there would be no issue with people saying how left-wing they are.
	That's completely true.
	And Clemente was just like, well, we've got 20,000 people working here, so you'll always get some views.
	You know, it's like, oh really?
	That's interesting.
	The British public, of course, feel that the BBC is biased, but they can't really decide.
	Sorry, because we've got 20,000 people working here, you'll sometimes get left-wing, you know, massively left-wing views.
	I think what he means is to sometimes get conservative views, to be honest.
	But that's what I mean.
	Whenever you've got fascist views on the BBC from the far right, who's doing that?
	Name me the period where a news anchor decided to give a monologue about how much he loves the far right.
	Well, I assume it's the Nick Griffin Sunday special.
	But yeah, so it turns out that people basically think the BBC is biased.
	37% said they didn't.
	No, sorry, just under 40% said they didn't.
	But 37% said they did, and the rest said, well, we don't know, presumably because they don't watch the BBC like sensible people.
	But the thing is, it was hard to tell which way because people were saying, well, we're left-wing and right-wing biased from different angles.
	And so this would be a fairly strong argument for the centrist position, except that you can do like an audit of their shows and see what the political leanings of the people who host their shows are.
	And then suddenly you're like, okay, well, where are the Conservatives?
	I mean, there was an audit done of BBC comedy shows at the end of December or mid-December 2020.
	And out of the 364 comedy shows that aired, only four of them featured comedians with obvious conservative or pro-Brexit beliefs.
	Do you have a percentage for that?
	Well, I mean...
	Because I'm just looking at that percent there.
	74% of them had left-wing bias there.
	Well, hang on.
	The 364 shows featured four comedians...
	And that meant 268 shows featured comedians with publicly known woke or left-leaning views.
	These included people like Adam Hill, Nish Kumar, and Frankie Boyle.
	Hang on, so that's just featured as well?
	So those four shows just had one right where you're on?
	Yeah, like panel shows with like Jeff Norcott or someone like that on.
	So you could have still had a leftist on as well.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah, but literally four of them.
	Four identifiably conservative comedians, whereas 268 identifiably left-wing woke comedians.
	Jesus.
	Yeah, that's how biased the BBC is.
	Like, I knew it was bad, but I didn't realise it was that bad.
	It's unreal.
	Unreal.
	And we've got the clip of Nish Kumar's MASH report to give you an example of the kind of...
	Oh, well, sorry, we'll go for this one first.
	Sorry, I thought you were going to flip these around.
	So Nish Kumar, I mean, he's just insufferably woke.
	Let's watch this clip.
	I am given a huge amount of leeway on the programme.
	I mean, I've described the Prime Minister of this country as a liar and a racist on the programme.
	So that's a summary of the sort of editorial guidelines that he's been put under?
	And again, if this was just his view, or he was on a private network, no one could have a toss.
	No, not at all.
	But it's the fact that it's publicly funded, so it has a duty to be impartial on matters of politics, which is incredibly tough, but that's why if you want to do something that's not impartial, go to a private network.
	Yeah, the BBC shouldn't have political comedy if they're supposed to be politically neutral, or if they are, they should be bloody clear that they've got 50% one, 50% of the other.
	I mean, I don't even care, you know, like, if they did have some left-wing comedians, some right-wing comedians, when it's literally four right-wing comedians, and then hundreds of left-wing comedians.
	There is something to be said.
	But the reason I pulled that clip is because I think that's important to note.
	He was saying, look, I don't feel like I have any kind of editorial pressure on me saying, don't be a left-wing activist.
	He can just turn around and say, well, Boris Johnson's a liar and a racist.
	And the BBC are like, oh, very good, very good.
	He knows there'll be no pushback.
	Exactly.
	There's absolutely no pushback.
	Whereas if he was to come out and say, Boris Johnson is wonderful, I love conservatism or something like this.
	It would have been a different story, yes.
	And so you put together this little clip selection of the MASH report so people can get a feel for the general tone and tenor of the show.
	Let's talk about the global resurgence of the far right and attempt to trace how this has happened.
	Now, I know what you're thinking.
	Wow, Nish, you are in no way qualified to weigh in on this subject.
	You're largely known to the public as the man stood next to Rachel Parrish on a video a friend from university I don't really talk to anymore shared on Facebook.
	Or that guy they put on Question Time because Romesh is now too famous.
	And look, and look, that laugh hurts very deeply.
	Here he is, a man so hateful, his hands won't even make the heart symbol.
	Meanwhile, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as either Tommy Robinson or That Bell End, is planning a speaking talk to the US which could earn him a million pounds.
	Fun fact, I dislike Tommy Robinson so much, I won't even allow him to have his picture in the little box.
	That is just the Mass Report logo.
	I cannot stand that dude.
	I don't even want my face to be near him.
	I don't like it, even though he's not even there.
	Trump was criticised for walking on stage at one of his stupid pointless rallies for idiots, hours after the attack on the synagogue, to Pharrell Williams' song, Happy.
	Although at this point, the only songs anyone wants Trump to walk out to are I Quit by Hepburn or Under Arrest by Debbie Harry.
	Bolsonaro and Trump have praised each other, and when Tommy Robinson was in jail, one of Trump's diplomats lobbied on his behalf.
	And if we're going to fight this, tech companies and social media need to clamp down on hate speech.
	So, demanding deplatforming.
	Defaming and turning someone into a hate figure.
	And then saying that Trump's rallies were for stupid people.
	Yeah.
	Amazing.
	He's openly anti-Voldebor.
	He's openly anti-Trump.
	He's openly anti-Bolsonaro in this segment.
	And it's like, okay, fine.
	I don't care about that if you're on a private network.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	The public doesn't have to fund this.
	This is the weird argument of like, oh, I'm being censored because the state won't fund me.
	They want weird arguments.
	Well, that's a typical Lefman argument.
	He could go anywhere else and do the show.
	I mean, quite clearly, the people who made John Oliver's show made that show.
	Yes.
	The joke structure is the same.
	Or they directly copied his show.
	Yeah, but I imagine people from that show came over and worked on this one, setting it up.
	Possibly.
	In which case, I'm sure any network would love to pick that up, because it would have so many views and be so popular.
	Well, incidentally, he's been cancelled because his views are in the toilet.
	What a surprise.
	According to Yahoo here, the BBC has axed the MASH reports because he was crap.
	That's actually not the reason they gave.
	They said that the show is being shelved to make room for new programs.
	We're very proud of the MASH report, but in order to make room for new comedy shows, we sometimes have to make difficult decisions and it won't be returning.
	We'd like to thank all of the people involved, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, look, if we're accepting that if the state doesn't fund you that's censorship, surely people not watching you is also censorship.
	I guess it is from that perspective.
	But the thing is, this is on the heels of the BBC's new Director General, Tim Davey, saying that there must be no assumed point of view in their shows, and the BBC needs to nurture brilliant writers from all kinds of perspectives.
	Now that's pretty amazing, because that's pretty much every left-wing comedian axed from the BBC then, isn't it?
	You know, if there's no assumed point of view, where they're all set there going, Orange Man bad, Boris bad, like...
	What have you got left?
	What have you got?
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, I'm actually in favour of that, but my point there would be, well, all comedy would just be axed from the BBC, because that's the realm of public television.
	You know, if you want to privately fund that, I don't care.
	Sure, I mean, I'm down for that.
	The BBC, quite frankly, should be an information centre that informs people about news and things like that.
	Yeah.
	I don't see why there's an argument for them to be doing other stuff, because that could be filled by private people who want to invest in this sort of thing.
	Yes.
	But anyway, this is obviously on the heels of them saying, well, look, the BBC needs to be reformed with urgency because it must be a universal public service.
	And of course, Nish Kumar is not someone who appeals universally.
	And he had a very mature response to this as well.
	Can we see his Twitter post?
	A lot of people are asking me for a comment, and here it is.
	And it's a picture of him with the sign, Boris Johnson is a liar and a racist.
	This was his response to being fired for calling Boris Johnson a liar and a racist and being excessively partisan.
	And also then getting no views.
	But stick to what you know, I guess.
	Don't break the habit of a lifetime.
	People obviously started memeing this, as we can see with this next one.
	Nish Kumar is unemployed and unemployable.
	And the thing about this is that it comes on the fact that he's never had good ratings.
	The ratings for this have always been insanely low, to the point where the BBC actually can't seem to find any recent ratings for his show.
	It started at 800,000 for the time slot that was in, which is 20% lower than it should have been.
	So it should have been roughly about a million people watching at that time period.
	He got 800,000, and I don't think it went up from there because they never released any further figures.
	They never got any better either.
	Like, the show was just as stale as the way it started.
	Yeah, so, you know, sad day.
	Everyone is wishing Nish Kumar their best.
	Hopefully it goes well for you, Nish.
	I see the chat being like, learn to code, Nish.
	That's the response.
	So what's going on with the site, by the way?
	Because it seems that the site kind of fell over at some point.
	And so we can't actually see any comments from anyone.
	I can see some.
	Oh, can you?
	Yeah.
	Okay, do you want to read some out?
	Oh, wait, no, I can't see the comment.
	I can see the chat, what I mean.
	Right.
	Do we know what's going on, Vicky?
	Vicky?
	Vicky?
	Do we know what's going on with the site?
	Sorry, what?
	What's going on with the site?
	It seems to be down.
	Oh, okay.
	I think we're too popular again.
	Yeah, if you're watching, do not hit refresh, apparently.
	Do you want to get some questions from the live chat since we've...
	Oh, we've got...
	Okay, let's go for...
	Well, we got through all that quickly, didn't we?
	Hey, Carl.
	So I was wondering something that maybe you could help me clarify because I've never been able to understand this.
	The left, who will always go on about how we need to have all these different laws and regulations over every little behavior, ACAB, and yet these are the people that are going to enforce all the laws and the rules that they want,
	while conversely, on the other side, the right will go on about how we're over-regulated and we have all these tyrannical rules and regulations, and yet they praise the cops as wonderful protectors of the people, like with a good example being the Klauskis there,
	when they had their guns unconstitutionally taken from them simply for Burying them on their own property and their response to the cops doing this was, oh hey, we love you, you're doing a great job.
	I've never been able to understand these what seems to be kind of counterintuitive It's a good point that he makes, actually.
	You would have thought there would have been a kind of anti-police animus among the right on the subject of cops because of, like, McCluskeys getting their guns taken away.
	But I don't think that that's the root of the problem.
	I think it's about a kind of structuring and ordering of the world.
	And I think that the right views that there should be police and that the people who are doing the job of keeping the public safe...
	I think they view those people as heroes, and in many ways, rightly so.
	It's a very dangerous looking job in America.
	There's been an example of a cop who shot a woman because she shot him, and I thought this was going to turn into a big Black Lives Matter thing.
	Thankfully it didn't.
	But it does seem that there's this view of police on the right wing, and I don't think it's an inaccurate view, because it is dangerous, but the left kind of hate this because it comes from the patriotic right wing, pro-America view, whereas they view cops as any kind of hierarchy as being legitimate.
	I'm not saying the left-wing view is coherent.
	I don't think there's a particular incoherence in the right-wing view, because I think the right-wing view could be justified by saying, well, look, it's about poor governance that is causing the grabbing of guns and things like this.
	So you can make an argument that the cops are not responsible for the laws they have to enforce, and so the problem is with the lawmakers.
	So if a bunch of socialists take over and make X laws that are terrible, then the cops are kind of duty-bound to enforce them, or should become conscientious objectors, to a certain degree.
	But the fault isn't on the particular point of the cops, and the point of the cops is to maintain law and order, which is a good thing in the pro-American view.
	Of course, law and order is...
	Exclusive.
	It's an exclusive concept.
	It means criminals get to be punished for breaking these laws that they knew about in advance and they shouldn't have broken.
	And if you're the sort of person who thinks that everything should be hyper-inclusive, and you think that the idea of criminalizing people is, in and of itself, an oppressive thing.
	It's bad.
	It holds down.
	It's racist.
	It holds down minority communities.
	It does this.
	It does that.
	It's all...
	It's bad.
	And so the cops themselves, being the enforcers of these racist laws, are themselves a racist institution because, of course, they're forced to target what they believe to be minority communities, but that's because they're forced to, because of the criminality of these communities, and therefore the cops are agents of inequality and agents of oppression.
	That's why the left hates cops.
	I agree with you that they're never going to get their stupid rules enforced if they don't have a police force of some form, but they seem to think that they can replace the police with social workers, and that's not going to happen because they live in a bloody dreamland.
	But I think that's the root of the difference that you're referring to there.
	And I hope that clears it up a bit.
	But I might be wrong.
	If you've got a different opinion, let me know in the comments.
	It seems that we have some comments back.
	So is everything back?
	No, it's just a few I could find.
	Right, okay.
	Have we got any more video comments, John?
	Hey, Carl.
	In regards to your keto diets, I remember you saying in a previous episode that you've had In-N-Out before when you were here in the United States and that you liked it.
	One thing you might be interested in If you have a chance to come to the United States again with everything going on with all the COVID crap, that's questionable, but should you ever get to come out here again, you can ask to have the burger done protein style.
	It's a little more messy in a salad and a lettuce wrap instead of buns, but it's still delicious.
	Good advice.
	Thanks very much.
	Good afternoon, Lotus Eaters.
	On yesterday's podcast, Callum made a rhetorical question asking where are the advocacy groups for murder in response to people on Twitter saying that our society encourages behaviour which led to the death of that poor woman in the UK and that we in fact live in a rape culture society.
	I myself really resonated and it really hit a chord in me.
	Where can we find murder advocacy groups in our society today?
	He's got you here.
	He's totally got me.
	That's a great way to get me as well.
	That's brilliant.
	That is so perfect.
	Not even referencing the signs in the background.
	Man, I just have no idea.
	That's great.
	Okay, fair enough.
	Good one.
	Absolute genius.
	Good afternoon.
	Firstly, I'd like to say thank you for the compliment yesterday.
	I much appreciate it.
	And secondly, I was thinking, if you were to bring back the death penalty, what kind of execution would you want them to have?
	I'm personally quite a fan of the idea of gladiatorial games.
	That would be interesting.
	Gladitorial games sounds fun, but I don't think it's fair to run the risk of having a wild animal killed just because, you know, someone murdered someone else.
	So I would say Firing Squad.
	You're wrong.
	I've spoken about this before, but tradition matters.
	English tradition is we hang you by the neck until dead.
	Yeah, but firing squad is also kind of traditional.
	Not really.
	Not civilians.
	Fine, fine.
	Hanging by the neck till dead.
	My entire argument is not it's a better form of death, it's not more civilised, it's the British way.
	Oh, that's correct.
	Renowned reviewer says...
	Yeah, I mean, when we're allowed to leave the house again and speak to people on the street, that does sound like fun.
	But obviously, public gatherings...
	Well, I mean, maybe we're allowed public gatherings now.
	I mean, we did do this for the Southwest Tour slash campaign.
	Like, we would just, well, you were there for most of it.
	I was busy.
	You would set up a, you know, go to a town hall that, sorry, a square that I'd found, and then set up a table and just be like, right, who wants the debate?
	Come and have a chat.
	Like, figure out what your problems are.
	Let's have a talk about it.
	We would have to go to some wokest area to do that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, we can do it for fun.
	But we don't have one lined up, which we can't talk about at the moment, but we're hoping to set one up in the near future, as soon as COVID over, at least.
	But we're happy to set up more.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Sounds great.
	It's good content, too.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's fun to do.
	No thank you says 30 years ago Monty Python was the leftist comedians fighting against conservatives.
	Now they are considered conservatives themselves for still being liberal.
	Would they be banned from the BBC with this kind of restriction?
	How does it make any sense?
	It's hard to believe that anything that Monty Python made would get made now.
	Like with the way that things have changed.
	I have no idea what it was like back then.
	Like, I know people like to call them left-wing or liberal in the day, but what was it?
	I mean, I wouldn't have called them particularly left-wing.
	Like, they weren't socialists.
	But that's the thing.
	It was left-wing back in the day of...
	I mean, when were they?
	Thatcher?
	Pre, like, 60s and 70s.
	So was being left-wing explicitly just not being right-wing, or what?
	No, there was very, very socialist in the 70s, and this is what led up to Thatcher.
	It was the unions, the socialist-controlled unions, destroying the country.
	Yeah, but I mean, the left-right dynamic.
	I mean, I imagine it's changed over the years of what is left, what is right.
	I imagine that Thatcher was, I mean, you know, it's a bit before my time, but I imagine that she probably had some quite excoriating rhetoric on socialists, which obviously are left-wing.
	So, you know, it's probably quite strident still back then.
	Okay.
	I don't think you get what I'm getting at.
	Because you don't necessarily have to be a socialist.
	I imagine the left-wing dynamic was that there were some people who think that more tolerance is the way to go, and then there's the types who are like, gay's bad, more social restrictions, because that builds stability or something like this.
	Yeah, they're probably right-wing.
	So that's why they'd be left-wing?
	Is that how it worked?
	Maybe, but I wasn't...
	I was born in 79, so like...
	I forget, I was just like, older man.
	What happened back in the war?
	I have to ask my dad, you know.
	Um...
	But I doubt it was as polarized as it is now.
	I really doubt.
	Alexander says, I've been watching some of your side interviews and I noticed on two occasions you brought up your sister having a degree in gender studies or some such.
	How do you get along?
	No angry stares at Christmas.
	Or just not allowed to talk about politics.
	Or at least, when I say that, she won't talk to me about politics.
	So, you know, sad really.
	But I love talking to her about politics.
	Angel Brain says, "Load Seaters, here's mine.
	As a Scot, I want to thank Hamza Youssef, 'Hums' the word, for making my viewing of the Load Seaters all more fun.
	Now I have the metric of how spicy is my comment?
	How much jail time does that equal?
	At least you have a metric for spiciness now.
	How long is Hamza Youssef going to lock me up for, for this comment?" That's a good question.
	Surely that's going to encourage people to get high scores.
	Maybe.
	Because it's like there's a bar in Prague where they have like tables and every table you...
	So your mates go around the table, right?
	And you'll pour your own drinks and there's like a scoreboard.
	Yeah.
	And then whoever's got the highest score in the pub is the best.
	I mean, that's genius marketing.
	Yeah, it's fantastic.
	I went there.
	I didn't drink that much, but it was good fun.
	I imagine that's going to essentially be the same thing, but for like Scottish 4chan or whatever.
	It's like, all right, lads, this is a nine year.
	Yeah.
	Vex says...
	Well, I mean, we're already seeing that, and you're referencing some of these concepts now, because there's always going to be a time when people want to speak about authentic women, which, you know, adult human females, rather than people who have undergone surgery to represent as female or as women.
	And so there's always going to be a need for this kind of thing.
	And language is an amorphous tool that sort of springs up out of the need of people to communicate certain concepts.
	And so if they obliterate the concept for a man wanting to marry someone who was born female and became an adult woman naturally, then something like that is going to come along.
	And that's what super straight was for.
	And of course, super gay, super bi, super lesbian, things like that.
	What's super trans?
	I only have sex with trans people?
	Maybe.
	Probably exists.
	Sure.
	It's probably a very, very small number of people who think that.
	Thank you.
	Are you going to cover the ministerial statement on the strategic review tomorrow?
	Boris is so infuriatingly woke whenever he mentions China and sucks Biden's dick at every opportunity.
	I'm not aware of what's going on.
	I'll have a look at it.
	I think it's him overviewing the defence policy, how much we're spending here, who we're making ties with, that sort of thing.
	I did see that apparently they want to be harder on China, but then wanted to keep trade as good as possible.
	And it's like, eh, why?
	Like, maybe if I'm being ultra charitable, it's like, oh, we keep it and then we decrease it over time.
	But I don't buy that.
	I think these people are...
	I mean, they nearly sold out our infrastructure to China.
	There's a great term by the Trump administration.
	They're Wall Street pandas.
	That's what they are.
	They're sort of hugging Beijing.
	They're just like, I'm making money.
	I don't want to leave.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That is a good term.
	I've not heard that before.
	Nino says, new subscriber here, American Christian Conservative Grandma.
	I've been sending your podcast to my family and Canadian socialist friends.
	Because friends are supposed to help friends not be communists and socialists.
	Keep up the good work.
	Guys love it.
	Well, thank you very much, Nino.
	Really appreciate it.
	That's really sweet.
	I like it.
	That is, yeah.
	Very wholesome.
	Have you given much thought to how transgender politics will play into proper human augmentation?
	How do we handle Elon Musk plugging himself into a neural network of cyber pigs?
	Oh, God.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	What do you think?
	This is like 4D chess.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, man.
	Yeah, I ain't got nothing.
	I ain't got nothing.
	I say we cross that bridge when we come to it.
	Isn't Josh working on something about this kind of thing at the moment?
	Yeah, Josh is trying to give robots rights, and that's wrong.
	I will happily be the Luddite who smashes these up.
	Joe Vista says, question, in regard to workout routines, do you keep regular regimes?
	How do you diversify things to keep things fun?
	I personally just ride my bike to work and then do some pull-ups on the machines we got over there.
	What do you do?
	I live too far away from the bike, so I do the push-ups, pull-ups, and the weights, but I still have no idea how to do it properly.
	I don't really think I do enough to need to diversify it.
	To be honest, I'm not nearly that strict.
	And the bike riding is out of necessity because I want to get home and have my dinner.
	Jay DeWitt says, elections are coming up in the Netherlands.
	Will you cover the event?
	Probably not because we're not very knowledgeable on Dutch politics.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I assume that's a Dutch person asking by the name.
	Yes.
	British people aren't very plugged into any elections on the continent.
	It's quite strange.
	When we spoke to the AFD, they were concerned with how things are going in France, how things are going in Poland, and that sort of mindset doesn't exist in Britain.
	Sure, but I mean, if you're living in Poland, you're probably like, what's the political circumstance in Germany like?
	Yeah, of course.
	Or in Russia.
	I mean, there's sort of like an interconnected web of people interests going on there, whereas the British don't seem to have that, even when we were in the EU. I mean, I hope the...
	What are the two guys we spoke to?
	I mean, we spoke to...
	What was it?
	The Party for Freedom or whatever?
	Yeah.
	I can't remember the name now.
	Sorry.
	No, no, I know the one you're talking about.
	The guys we interviewed.
	Yeah.
	They seem all right.
	There's Gert Wilders, who seems to understand that Islam is not the same as Christianity, which is...
	Amazing.
	Amazing.
	I don't trust any of the rest.
	The rest are probably leftists.
	Yeah.
	Big Dutch says, well, I think you've hit the point right there.
	You have to attack their definitions of words.
	You have to literally pin them down to a definition that they can agree with.
	And if they refuse to do that, then the answer is you can't have a productive conversation with these people.
	Garvin says, I don't think they'll need to use imminent domain steel land from farmers.
	I think they will just buy it using taxpayer money and then just hand it to a bunch of inner city urban types, I imagine, to try and encourage them out of the cities.
	Is this the reparations bill?
	I assume so.
	Yeah.
	It's not 160 acres, he promised.
	It's 40 acres and a mule, so it's a bit of inflation.
	And the thing is, though, like, what are urban black people going to do with 160 acres and a mule?
	I wouldn't be able to do anything with that.
	Sublease it to a farmer?
	Yeah.
	Sell it to a farmer.
	Yeah.
	Because if someone was like, right, okay, you're black, and you're now the owner, here's a piece of paper, a title to 160 acres in Montana or something, it's fine, but I live in New York.
	I have a job.
	I'm not a slave.
	You haven't just freed me.
	What's wrong with you?
	My wife and kids live here.
	Leave me alone.
	There would have to be some training that went along with it, I would think.
	How many black people in New York or some big city wants to be a farmer in the Midwest?
	They also do sound pretty wholesome, but it's a huge job change.
	I'm not saying it wouldn't be good for them.
	Get out of the cities.
	Just get out of the goddamn cities.
	They're turning into cancer.
	But I just can't see them persuading people to take it up.
	Alex says, how are the analytics doing since you stopped streaming on YouTube?
	Is it too early to tell?
	They seem to be doing pretty great, actually.
	The analytics on YouTube, so we no longer do the streaming clips, we just do the clips on there.
	It's actually increased.
	We're getting more views since we left doing the streaming on there.
	So, I mean, when?
	And the live streams we do on the website get between 15,000 and 20,000 views each, which is great, really, considering it's our own website that we're live streaming to, especially when it's broken.
	Is it still down?
	Can we message Kentley angrily?
	Okay, great.
	Okay.
	Is Callum an Ocelot otherkin?
	The answer is, of course, yes.
	What does that even mean?
	Something degenerate, don't ask.
	Well, I'm not that, then.
	Okay.
	Is he sensitive about that being public?
	I don't know what it is!
	I think the lady doth protest too much.
	Okay, I'm googling it.
	How do we defy playing definitions when the institutions are controlled by the far left?
	We can't.
	We have to.
	We have to establish our own definitions.
	We have to come out strong in definitions.
	I went on Adam and Sitch's stream the other night.
	And I was arguing that we need to be able to adequately and gently promote a healthy form of lifestyle, and that does require us to have definitions for things.
	And we do have to be particular about these definitions.
	We have to defend them.
	And if we can't defend them, then we can't really win the argument against the left.
	And so this is important.
	You have to define things.
	And it will mean that all arguments with leftists will end up coming down to a semantical argument about what X means in this context.
	Which isn't terribly exciting, but unfortunately I don't see how else you can persuade them out of the position they're in.
	Unless you just want to feed into their definitions and bring them to their most absolute point of absurdity.
	So they will hopefully become self-evidently ridiculous.
	But the thing is, we've been doing that.
	It hasn't really worked.
	They just embrace the ridiculousness and go, yeah, so, you know, now we're watching Cardi B's WAP. I'm a conservative.
	You know, it's like...
	What now?
	Didn't you have an argument with them about the whole concept as well?
	It's like, oh, I think we should tell people to do X. They're like, you're forcing them?
	Yeah.
	But it's just advice.
	Where's the force?
	Moral force.
	It happens so often with libertarians as well, and I'm sorry to be upset with them because they're ideological friends, I guess, in the fight against socialists, but it's just whenever you say, I think we should advise people to do X, it's just like, stop forcing people.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they were very, very sensitive about the idea of moral prescriptions, which I find interesting because everyone who makes a moral statement is creating a moral prescription, and the fact that they were sort of conditioned to believe that they shouldn't be doing this or that that was wrong, I think is...
	Where the counterculture is failing.
	We need to be able to create reasonable moral prescriptions.
	And so the core of the conversation was that I think that we should be able to say, look, for most people, a sensible life plan and a good sort of moral outcome would be for you to get a job, educate yourself as well as you can, Get married, have kids and start a family.
	Have a good productive life.
	The sort of thing that you can be proud of at the end of it.
	Don't sit there being a kuma until you're in your 40s and you can't get married and no one cares about you.
	Actually try and build something.
	Try and do something.
	A family is something that's within almost everyone's power to build.
	And so I thought that was pretty...
	And it's not a commentary on people who don't build families or anything like this, but it's just if we're going to give advice to some people about what they should do for their future.
	I don't know who's watching.
	So it's like, if I'm going to give some advice, I'm going to give advice that I think is...
	Pretty moderate and sensible for most people that are watching this.
	You're probably going to get a good outcome if you just follow this advice.
	Now, you might be like Milo Yiannopoulos or something and have gone down a very strange path of being gay and then ex-gay and wherever else he's going now.
	But, like, sure, you're the outlier, but that doesn't mean that even from his position, most people still would benefit from this advice.
	I don't see what's wrong with that.
	Ben Shapiro's advice is literally just get a job and don't get pregnant.
	Yeah, good advice.
	Okay.
	Don't get pregnant before marriage.
	What's the opposition to that, you know?
	No, I want people to be unemployed and pregnant at 13, says the Democrat.
	Well, that is basically their position.
	Just like a cat owner's thing or something?
	I googled Ocelot Otherkin.
	Wait.
	What is it?
	I'm suspicious now.
	Simon says, I think they actually believe the crap they're spouting.
	Because the thing is, leftism is very seductive to midwits.
	It makes people who've got an IQ of about 110 think that they understand the world and think that they I would actually be surprised if it had a single person with an IQ of 115 in the entire party.
	And so it's dangerous.
	And I think they do believe it.
	And I think that they don't understand why it's wrong and why what they're doing is damaging.
	And why they end up creating things that everyone opposes.
	Like, Hamza Yousef seems to have shown no self-awareness as to why everyone was in opposition to what he was doing.
	You know, he didn't seem to understand.
	So I believe they believe what they're saying.
	Rob says, what do you think the leftists would say about these days in 2030's time?
	Will they consider the life choices they made to be bad?
	Well, it depends if they win, really, doesn't it?
	Either way, it'll be the same.
	This was the time of bigotry and oppression, and now is the time in which we can make the utopia.
	Well, yes, exactly.
	Yeah, but it depends if they win, because it could be that they view...
	I think if they win...
	Well, no, no, no, hang on.
	If they win, and they get to create their glorious utopia, then they'll say, well, this was the time of the struggle against the evil forces of the far right and Lord Voldemort, and we overthrew Orange Man and Boris, and the revolution was successful.
	Peace on Earth was brought about, and that's why everything is going so great for black people right now, right?
	And they'll have this heroic narrative.
	And if they lose, then they'll say that this was when the Nazis rose up.
	And crush them.
	I don't agree.
	I think even if they win in 20, 30 years, they'll still look back at this and be like, oh, we can only give untested drugs to kids.
	We weren't able to chop their limbs off like we are now, or whatever the hell it is.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It'll just get more extreme and be like, this was still a time of oppression and progress.
	And we're not quite there yet.
	We'll never be quite at the utopia.
	That will definitely be an aspect of it.
	Because it's the same narrative now in the 2020s, it was the same narrative in 2010s, it'll be the same narrative looking back every other bloody decade.
	The same narrative 100 years ago.
	Exactly, right?
	So why is it going to change?
	Yeah, but they still create their sort of romanticised myths about their uprisings, right?
	And so I think secretly they're hoping they get crushed.
	So in like 20 years' time they can look back and go, yeah, but we struggled.
	We struggled.
	They want to be on the right side of history that struggled.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And even if they lose, that's fine for them because at least they're on the right side.
	Exactly.
	They're morally right.
	The struggle was real and the Nazis were just stronger or something.
	Which is obviously absurd because they're not on the right side.
	I mean, you're literally promoting nonsense that's been nonsense for a hundred years plus.
	And the fact that they're trying to paint the Conservatives as Nazis now, it's like...
	All they're doing is what you ask them to do.
	You're like, how can you let people gather in the streets?
	And the Conservatives are like, well, we'll stop people gathering in the streets.
	Well, we want to gather in the streets.
	Well, sorry, we're going to stop you from doing that now.
	Oh my god, you Nazis.
	It's like, why did you ask them?
	Why did you ask them?
	Another wake-up call for the Conservative Party.
	Do your own thing.
	Stop caring what these people do.
	Ignore the moral legislation that comes out of the left.
	It's nonsense.
	It comes from a place of total fiction.
	T.F. Allspark says, What kind of mental defect is allowing the wokists and grifters to perform such astounding feats of mental gymnastics?
	How does the logical part of the brain just hold them?
	Well, they don't have that part of the brain, I assume.
	It's probably disabled by certain redefinitions of certain words.
	And again, T.F. Allspark, you're doing a fantastic job.
	Small hiccups here and there.
	No issue considering the site's age.
	Keep up the great work.
	Well, thank you.
	And when you can go back on the site, I strongly recommend that you do.
	Oh, it's back up, is it?
	Excellent.
	Right, excellent.
	Do we know what the problem was?
	Oh, okay.
	Right, okay, well, you can now go back on the site, which is fantastic.
	What would happen if we try and fight fire with fire and spread our values under the banner of socialism?
	If they start trying to correct us, we call them conservative extremists.
	It would require an extreme amount of commitment to the bit, to be honest.
	Well, it's what the Hindus are doing at the moment.
	Yeah.
	Which is really funny, and I love it.
	It's really funny, and I do love it, but I don't think I could commit...
	You don't have the strength of will that the BJP do.
	To pretend that I'm a socialist, no.
	To pretend about wokeness.
	No, oh god.
	No, I'd rather be persecuted.
	Please tell Callum that ocelots are like little cats, and he looks like one.
	It's in the eyes.
	I don't think that's a compliment.
	Does the left know how to have freedom and live their lives without having government involved in every step of it?
	No.
	No, they don't.
	And that's exactly the problem, isn't it?
	Because you'll notice they're trying to put a bureaucrat in between every kind of human relation.
	They believe that the state owns the children and therefore the state should have the access to take away the children.
	The state should regulate the way that you speak to each other.
	The state should be It should be in charge of every aspect of your working life.
	I can't ask people how old they are when I hire them.
	That's ridiculous.
	What a ridiculous, ridiculous request.
	Like, sorry, that's discriminatory.
	It's like, yeah, but don't I need to know that?
	But that's the absurdity as well.
	Like, what is it?
	If you buy a plane ticket, you're allowed to discriminate on that basis for a lot of things.
	You know, where you search from, the kind of person you are, the metadata they have on you.
	Are you a student?
	This sort of thing.
	And that all obviously makes sense.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, when it comes to hiring a person which is also a financial transaction, I mean, you've got to consider when are they retiring?
	Are they old enough to retire?
	What kind of pension contributions have I got to put in?
	But I mean, literally, if I want to hire a content creator on the basis that they have, I don't know, life experience that might be useful for other people to hear...
	Then I'm not allowed to say, are you old enough to have accrued this life experience that I want you to pass down to people?
	Equality Act 2010.
	Biggest piece of garbage legislation that we've ever passed.
	Thanks, Labour.
	Yeah.
	And thanks, Conservatives, for never getting rid of it.
	Yeah.
	And in fact, expanding it for the last 10 years.
	You could get rid of it tomorrow.
	You know that, right?
	Of course you know that.
	By the way, we are actually looking to hire, so you can go to lotuscees.com forward slash careers.
	We're looking for content creators.
	We'll probably be looking for another writer at some point because we keep growing, actually, which is good.
	It's nice to see people signing up and Enjoying the premium content and spoilers.
	So, I mean, we are actually expanding as the Huffington Post is shutting down.
	But don't put your age.
	But don't put your age.
	No, no, no.
	You can volunteer your age.
	I just can't ask for it.
	Okay.
	Where were we?
	Moving on.
	I don't want to say something because it could actually get me in trouble.
	Yeah, so don't put your age.
	No, it's so stupid.
	It's so stupid.
	I'm probably not allowed to ask where you're from either.
	I think you can ask employment status, so are you able to work in the UK? Which, I mean, that's a thing.
	Joe says, are there universal values?
	Is truth subjective, as Stephen Colbert would suggest, truthiness?
	I'm curious as to where national identities come from, or is it something more?
	Right, so a lot of this is actually what I'm going to be addressing in the next premium podcast that me and Callum are going to do as a part of the lead-up to the Brave New World podcast, Book Club, because there's a lot you've asked there, and I'm not going to be able to answer it now, but I do have an answer for it, and it will be coming soon.
	In fact, I'll be working on this after this podcast.
	Question.
	Is it really leftism, right, slash, progressive, slash, icon conservatism?
	This is the problem.
	Or is it which one of these that is trying to force people to live under their values without consent?
	I'm not really sure I formulated it.
	Right, okay, I think I get it.
	So I think the problem is a lack of tolerance in the left.
	And it could be that there would be a right wing that could rise up that has the same lack of tolerance.
	It's just that there isn't.
	In the West?
	No, in the West anyway.
	There are plenty of countries in the world with that.
	In India?
	Sure.
	There's an intolerant right wing that can do exactly the same.
	But it's this kind of political intolerance and, frankly, totalitarianism that is the problem.
	If you can't allow people to live without obeying your rules for your particular moral prescriptions, then you're the problem, and you need to leave people alone.
	Question, when are we getting a John Cam?
	I don't know.
	Hopefully not very soon, because I need him to run the podcast.
	We are going to get a John Mike.
	Yeah, I know.
	We are getting a John mic though.
	So we had a problem which is like we put the mic there but then I can like hear him clicking and breathing and stuff so we're going to have like a button that he can press.
	So hopefully that'll be working soon.
	The thing is at some point we're probably going to need that mic back to have extra guests.
	Oh yeah, there's that as well.
	I guess you will.
	Do we have any more questions or comments since the website's back up?
	Who wants to work in Swindon?
	Everyone, get in here.
	I do love the idea.
	We were joking about this earlier when we were getting lunch.
	Imagine if this becomes really successful over the next 10 years or something, right?
	And it's just like, what's Swindon known for?
	There's an Amazon plant and there's billion-dollar media corporation, Lotus Eaters.
	That's the point.
	It's like the, I don't know, liberal mecca of UK. Why not?
	Yeah.
	What do you want to do?
	Move to London?
	Do you want that in London?
	Yeah, exactly.
	I don't want to live in London.
	The state would shut it down.
	But we're on a nice train line, so it's easy to get to.
	It's actually quite a good place.
	Better than being in London?
	God Sorry someone asking a question but I don't I sent two videos today.
	One is a question, the other one is a speed read performance.
	It took like seven takes, but I think I got it.
	Would you mind judging my performance from 1 to 12 burgers?
	Well, when we see it next time.
	We don't preview the questions.
	John and Vicky prepare it, and then we just live react to it.
	So we have no idea what you're going to say, which is...
	Fun.
	Does Swinon have fit birds?
	Not that I've seen.
	No, no, no.
	We're trying to sell this.
	Yes.
	Yes, it does.
	The fittest, in fact.
	It's kind of like the Miami of Britain, in fact.
	You're definitely going to want to come here.
	The roads are paved with gold.
	And very attractive women in bikinis.
	I don't know.
	I mean, I haven't really been out in Swindon either.
	I come in to do work and then go home.
	I don't really see...
	You're not allowed to go out.
	The government would arrest you.
	So I haven't seen the Fifth Birds Club down the road.
	When did you move to Swindon?
	About 15 years ago.
	Why?
	Because I had friends and family here.
	Oh.
	So I wasn't like...
	Did you grow up here or anything?
	No, no.
	Alright.
	Yeah.
	Shut up and trust.
	Yeah.
	Slags?
	Yeah, there's no slags.
	Well, he's talking about those slags.
	That's why I stayed.
	Swindon's not bad for that.
	Oh, man.
	That's your advertisement.
	Come to Swindon, there's plenty of slags.
	Will says, I was just listening to the Prime Minister speaking at the ministerial statement on Integrative Review.
	Isn't it funny how he talks about Britain standing up for its values while also saying he wants to work with China on building a stronger and more positive economic relationship?
	Suck the communist dick.
	Yeah, well, I mean, they kind of have to.
	Because, I mean, at the moment, obviously, with the European Union still reeing at us from across the channel about leaving, we kind of need all the opportunities we can get.
	This is the thing, I can understand Boris's position.
	It's not actually a very enviable one, where it's like, okay, yeah, China is evil, but we do need trade.
	Yeah, I mean, we do trade with Saudi Arabia en masse, and we never criticize them.
	So it's not like this shouldn't be part of foreign policy, but there is also real politic, which sucks.
	But yeah, we do need to get ourselves off China.
	We need to get ourselves off Saudi Arabia, and anything that does that, I support.
	Bring back the industry, that's what we're saying.
	I mean, this is actually one of the reasons I quite like green energy.
	Like, I know people have a million criticisms of it, but the West green energy is obviously nuclear, not the rest of it.
	But the point here, fundamentally, of getting away from oil, because, I mean, that's the thing that gives these Middle Eastern dictatorships their power.
	And if we can just get them off that sort of thing, and then they don't have the money, don't have to worry about Islamic fundamentalism around the world anymore.
	It gets to stay in the Arab world, in which case, I don't care.
	Your problem.
	Hmm.
	That old guy says, the more I think about it, the more I'm in favour of a man few.
	Maybe we should be accelerating the left agenda instead of just dragging it out.
	Save our energy for clearing the wreckage after it inevitably implodes.
	Yeah, well, that's the thing.
	The curfew of men, I wasn't against the idea, to be honest.
	I don't really need to go out at night.
	I don't want to have to go down to the shop and get my wife stuff.
	She can go to the shop.
	She's the one who's not being oppressed by the government.
	So, you know, it's a lot of work.
	We're walking, like, 15 minutes down to the shop.
	Should we start an organisation?
	Men for a curfew on men.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Pro-curfew men.
	Give a message to all the Labour MPs being like, come on, put us on your newsletter.
	Jess Phillips, I want to sign up to your campaign to oppress men.
	Oh, God.
	The Conservatives are pushing postal votes, aren't they?
	I don't think they were, were they?
	I thought they were bringing voter ID. I don't know what he means.
	If you've seen an advert for doing postal votes, they're necessarily pushing it.
	They're just trying to do the thing.
	But I thought they were bringing in voter ID to try and lower postal voting because they're actually kind of mad about the fraud that takes place.
	Yeah, because Labour keeps doing it.
	By Labour and only Labour.
	Seems to be.
	Leicester and Peterborough.
	Oh no, sorry.
	The Peterborough one was only accusations.
	Sorry.
	But the Leicester one was where the ballot factory was found.
	Also, where a slave factory was found.
	Coincidence.
	Also, there's been a fair amount of immigration from certain countries to Leicester.
	Just saying.
	It's just coincidence.
	The Venn diagram.
	Was it Leicester?
	The statistic was like one in six people in their constituency?
	One in ten.
	One in ten.
	As a slave.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, not good.
	Looking forward to that census, man.
	Looking forward to the results.
	So the MP in charge was actually moaning about how racist the UK is while one in ten of her constituents is a slave.
	But also, the person before her was...
	Was it Keith Vaz?
	I don't know if I can get the name right.
	But he was found...
	He ended up resigning because he was doing blow with a bunch of boys.
	And then...
	It's not as bad as slavery.
	It's a great point of the labour thiefdoms.
	These people who are utterly corrupt have no care for reality and yet they actually live in a little slave kingdom.
	And yeah, Britain is racist because we're against slavery.
	So if that's part of your ancient ethnic tradition, it's going to go.
	Alexander says, do you think you could do a premium podcast deconstructing some of this millennial media coming out nowadays?
	I work in that field writing about new shows that come out in your segment where you mentioned how ironic and deconstructive it really is resonating with me.
	I'd like to be able to clearly articulate the problem with these shows or maybe share an article about it.
	Can you give us any particular examples of shows that you're referring to?
	Because there's a lot of millennial media, I'm afraid.
	So I'd kind of need some specifics.
	But otherwise I'm very happy to do it.
	Mike says, And say, good job, buddy, instead of doing anything that could produce tangible change.
	Thanks for the show.
	One of the few things that keeps me sane during lockdown, knowing not everyone is an NPC. I honestly think it's superiority, a feeling of superiority that they have.
	And they look down on these people, they don't view them as equals, and therefore they view them as groups that need special treatment.
	There's the thing, I don't blame them at all.
	I don't blame these middle-class white voters who act in this insufferable way, because they've been lied to, they've been brainwashed.
	There is no way they ended up here through no nonsense being purported to them.
	The national media and the education system puts you into this narrative of history is all about white people bad, oppressing brown people, and now we must do our bit to save them, as if we're some kind of white saviour.
	So I don't blame them at all, they just need re-educating to reality.
	Well, they just need to really consider, is it treating someone like an equal?
	If you're looking down your nose at them and going, well done, you inferior, black, gay, trans, whatever it is.
	You did so well.
	Here's your representation because you can't get it yourself because you're inferior.
	That's not the view of equality.
	And I really hate it because I actually do genuinely view people in the same sort of equal way in that regard.
	It's like, get to work, you lazy bun.
	slavery of this exact thing happening so like this is obviously happens in the modern day yeah i you know these like compilations of like you know ben shapiro owned social justice warrior but it actually happened with a slave a slave who was a slave when is now an ex-slave managed to own this like liberal college student who came to him and he was like i want to give you the right to vote i want to give you the right to work i want to give you this and that they just turned around and went you can't give me any of those things i'm born with those things honey you still have the disease and it's just perfect it's like
	Even in slave days, these people could see through these folks.
	Where they're just like, I want to treat you like an inferior.
	I hate it.
	I hate the presupposition.
	Justin says, Colin Callum, this is totally unrelated to today's episode, but I'd like to thank you two and the rest of the game for the outstanding work you do and deliver every day.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Your show is fantastic and a real step up from Tim Pool, which I also like, but it's gotten a bit repetitive.
	Like, hey, Tim's a good boy.
	Did nothing wrong.
	I liked him.
	Good guy.
	No, he is a good guy, actually.
	But thank you.
	We do work very, very hard.
	Just a general question.
	Would execution by woodchipper be preferable, for instance, to the garrote, which was used in Spain up until 1974?
	Not from Norway.
	I had no idea that the Spanish were such barbarians as to use a garrote.
	Yeah, I mean, isn't that up until the end of the Spanish fascists?
	Probably, yeah.
	And was it like, you know, execution?
	Or disappearing?
	Inconvenient?
	The chat was in favour.
	I did see earlier when we were discussing.
	Pro-woodchippers.
	They were woodchippers.
	Which, I mean, for certain crimes, maybe.
	It's a bit of a quick death, though, isn't it?
	Chuck someone headfirst into a woodchipper, and that's not the last one.
	Chuck someone headfirst.
	Right.
	That's the bigotry you were making there.
	Yeah, I suppose, yeah.
	Andrew says, Hey guys, I have a flatmate who doesn't accept facts and data from the government bodies, even though they are separate and accountable to the government.
	Any help?
	She is a lefty but thinks she's really smart.
	All lefties think they're really smart, so I don't know what you can do about that.
	I mean, what's her argument?
	She thinks the government's run by the far right or something?
	I mean, if that's the case, then what data could possibly persuade her?
	Where could it come from?
	There's a reason we actually try and use left-wing sources for stuff, so we try and use the Guardian a lot, things like this.
	Because if you are trying to convince someone...
	Use their own material.
	Yeah, and there's plenty of it, mate, so I guess do that.
	Yeah, but the thing is, usually the official statistics are pretty much the best we've got.
	Yeah, but if she won't accept that, then use left-wing ones that also show that she's talking nonsense.
	I can't wait until the census comes in.
	I honestly can't wait, because the information we're going to get from that, they're not going to be able to just go, well, this is biased, and it's going to be brutal.
	MEP Flyboy says, don't press refresh.
	Shame I missed it live.
	Was going to ask a question about you guys doing tours again and nice lockdown ends, events and stuff.
	Will this happen once you can?
	Yeah, yeah, we will do stuff once we can.
	It's just we're not allowed.
	Stephen says, Do you think an SJW is going to come and play D&D with me?
	What are the odds?
	Which ones?
	I mean, I'd love to, but they're not going to come and play D&D with me, so it's not a problem I have to face.
	Well, no, this has happened in Warhammer 40k, hasn't it, for you?
	I mean, then turning up in groups about 40k and then trying to take over the whole thing.
	It's just like, sod off.
	Oh, like, you know, Facebook groups and stuff like that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's happened.
	But I... Can you just try and purge them as fast as possible?
	Yeah, just gatekeep, you know.
	Sorry leftists, go away.
	This area isn't for politics?
	Yep.
	This area is not for leftists, which that means.
	Well, no, because they're the only people who can't separate their politics from everything they do.
	The liberals can leave it at the door.
	Exactly.
	And the conservatives, to be honest.
	The liberals and conservatives can just be like, okay, we'll talk about...
	Because, again, the whole point of an artistic endeavour is that you're creating a miniature universe in which they have separate rules that don't apply to the real world.
	And so when they're like, yeah, those orcs are black people, you're like, oof.
	That's you.
	Because in this they're not even human.
	They're not black people.
	They're mushrooms.
	Exactly, yeah.
	The black people are in the Imperium because they're humans.
	I have to explain that to you, leftists.
	Black people, humans.
	Orcs, non-humans.
	Like the space marine pummeling that orc there.
	That's the black guy.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's like, look, that's your brain.
	That's not the in-universe brain.
	But that's the point.
	These people can't leave their politics at the door.
	Jordan Chandler.
	Isn't it disgraceful that tyrannical leftists think that they ought to be exempt from the laws they lobbied from for to virtue signal and deliver empty platitudes that do not protect women while no such exemption ought to apply to irregular people or their loved ones' funerals?
	Yeah, it is disgraceful.
	And they get exactly what they deserve.
	Like...
	I'm not going to judge the police for grinding a feminist face into the floor.
	She broke curfew.
	She broke lockdown, sorry.
	What do you want?
	You were literally told, please leave, didn't, so they arrested you.
	You literally were like, we want lockdowns, we want lockdowns, the virus, people's lives.
	It's like, well, get in your house.
	But I've got a reason to be out.
	No, you don't.
	No one has a reason to be out.
	But a woman has died, yeah, and we arrest the murderer.
	Yeah, after he murdered someone.
	That's how it works.
	It's just the Chad Yes face.
	It's just the police officers like, why did I sign up to do this?
	What is wrong with these women?
	Tim Murray says Cardi B's new album has to be called Vaginamopus, or Vagnamopus, sorry.
	Yeah, that's pretty good.
	Harry Ashman says, Hey lads, any thoughts on the EU deciding they don't want the AstraZeneca vaccine after unilaterally enforcing a hard border on Ireland to get it?
	Is the European Commission run by cats or something?
	Also, I had a postal vote entry form sent to me by my local Tories.
	What's the deal with this Tory postal vote?
	Well, postal voting still exists.
	You might as well exploit it if you're the Tories.
	I suppose so.
	But I mean, they did say they wanted to bring in ID for voting, generally.
	Yeah, but until it's done, you have to run the game as it is.
	I suppose so.
	As for the EU, I mean...
	Yeah, what's going on with the AstraZeneca vaccine?
	I don't think either of us really know what's going on on the science side, but I must say it does look very, very sus, as he points out, that they had this big hoo-ha about we want that vaccine, and then they couldn't get it, and then all of a sudden a bunch of European countries are banning it, and it's like...
	The Germans a month ago were like, yeah, we'll take the Russian vaccine.
	It's just as good, we swear.
	You could see the smile on their face going like...
	The thing is, though, we've had, what, 24 million vaccines been given to British citizens now?
	Has there been an upswing of blood clots?
	I don't know.
	I mean, I'm totally willing to believe that a vaccine that gets rushed out can have a negative side effect, like a blood clot.
	I think that's totally plausible.
	But I've not seen any reporting on it.
	The trial study actually had a lower blood clot rate than control.
	Right.
	John's saying the trial study actually had a lower blood clot rate than control, which is interesting.
	But weren't there like three cases in the European Union where someone had the injection then had a blood clot?
	I mean, they're assuming that that has necessarily followed, and that the injection is the consequence.
	I don't know the numbers on it, but it doesn't seem to be a massive thing in the UK where most of these are being used, in which case I'm sort of sus of them arguing it's this, and not that you've cocked up and now you're trying to cover your tracks.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you're literally importing Spudnik, Germany.
	Like, really?
	I can't help but feel there might be shades of prejudice because of Brexit going on.
	Oh, this is the British one.
	Oh, they're bad.
	Oh, we've got an excuse to say Britain bad.
	Might be.
	Anyway, we'll look into it.
	Yeah, we'll look into it.
	We don't know.
	But anyway, thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen.
