	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
	Welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters for Tuesday, the 23rd of March 2021.
	I'm joined by Callum and we're going to be discussing how the Labour Party's MPs are simping for the socialist riots in Bristol over the weekend, how Teen Vogue is undergoing an internal Bolshevik revolution, and what was the last thing we're going to do?
	I can't remember.
	Oh yeah, the mostly peaceful Miami parties, the parties of peace that have been going on there.
	It's quite, quite staggeringly excellent media coverage of a very uncomfortable subject for the progressive media.
	But if you want support anti-progressive media, you can go to lowsees.com and sign up and check out all of our premium content.
	It's really, really good stuff.
	We've got an article there about how the military-industrial complex works from an insider's view, which is an insider who spoke to us on condition of anonymity to explain exactly what it's all about and the ethos that seems to underpin it.
	It's really good stuff, but I'll let you read it in your own time.
	In the meantime, we're going to talk about how Labour MPs cannot denounce communist rioting.
	Yep.
	They can't do it.
	Why not?
	They're not just incapable.
	So the first thing I wanted to go on here was Andy Ngo, the first tweet, which is...
	I left that in Baxter, John, sorry.
	God damn it.
	So the first thing here is Andy Ngo's tweet in which he's saying that he was right, and he is right.
	So a lot of people were criticizing him in his comments, and a lot of, let's say, leftist commentators were asking that this has nothing to do with left-wing philosophy or groups or anything like this.
	And Andy Ngo is like, nope, not having it.
	This is definitely the case.
	And he's been proven right by the government reporting on this.
	So if we go to the archives of the Times article, just to get up the information.
	So the information they're given here.
	Participants in the, quote, Kill the Bill event said they lacked a single organizer, which meant that the event was vulnerable to being hijacked by a violent minority.
	Hmm, okay.
	Groups that encouraged their followers to attend the protest included Extinction Rebellion, All Lives Matter Bristol, No, All Black Lives Bristol, and the Socialist Workers' Party Bristol.
	Another, No Fixed Abode Antifascist, so Antifa, told people...
	Homeless Antifa!
	Homeless Antifa told people not to share footage of protesters unless they were in masks.
	So they were telling people to lie.
	I mean, an easy way to do this is just ask all of the people who are arrested for this, do you support or disavow Black Lives Matter?
	And every single one of them, without exception, will support Black Lives Matter.
	Yeah, that would be another way of doing it.
	But I don't think we need to.
	I think we're perfectly happy of looking at the groups that organized, the groups that attended, and the groups that were commenting on this before it happened, and then just the flags and the imagery of the people taking part and the tactics they had.
	And I think we've got quite a substantial amount of evidence that this is a socialist riot.
	I don't think we have to do anything else.
	When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
	Yeah, so Andy Note did nothing wrong.
	He also posted a picture which was unknown, so if we can get it a little bit bigger.
	I don't know what's happening with the video there.
	That's weird.
	That's not normal.
	That's a bug.
	But anyway, you should be able to see the cars, the windows have all been smashed, presumably because cars are a symbol of capitalism.
	Oh, thank you, left-wing protesters.
	So they broke into some car park nearby where the police station was, by the looks of it, and just smashed everyone's ring screen.
	People who have nothing to do with anything, just random people who have parked their cars for the night, too bad.
	You're in the way of the socialist revolution, so bye-bye.
	Welcome to Portland.
	We spoke about Keir Starmer, so he had a response to this.
	I want to play it again for people who hadn't noticed us or have been with us yesterday.
	So his response to the question about whether or not he endorsed or disavowed this.
	So let's play.
	You're good, right.
	My question is, with the backdrop of you having supported an organisation which wishes to defund the police by taking a knee with your deputy leader, how do you think the inaction of the police in the BLM protests in 2020 has affected the respect and authority of the police in Bristol?
	Well, Ed, thanks for that question, by the way.
	The two things are completely different.
	Black Lives Matter is a very, very huge movement across the UK, across the world.
	Drawing attention to the injustice of structural racism that's gone on for very, very many years.
	What happened last night is a million miles from there, this is just lawlessness.
	As I said, inexcusable, unacceptable.
	So, correctly saying that it's lawlessness, but then incorrectly saying this has no similarity or is completely different, in his words, to what happened in America with BLM, it's like, that's just obvious nonsense.
	Yeah, I don't even know why you'd say that, Keir.
	Ergo why I put the footage in there of the two different protests, and it's exactly the same thing.
	Setting fire to anything that's police.
	Smashing up private property.
	I love the chat here.
	He looks like a manager from McDonald's.
	He kind of does.
	I'm not going to lie.
	So then there's the response to this from him could be said to be mixed, let's say, at best.
	And this is the tepid side of the Labour Party for being charitable.
	And then there's the socialist wing of the Labour Party, the Corbynites, who have been kicked out of power.
	They've got their own problems, which is that they just can't disavow at all.
	So they couldn't even get to the point of saying criminality bad, which is what Keir Sama got to.
	Well done, Keir!
	So we want to go with the mentally challenged squad, is what I'm going to call them.
	So if you can scroll up a little bit here, you can see Diane Abbott's tweet in which she's posting our squad.
	Oh god, they've even copied the squad.
	Oh god, they're so cringe!
	So Diane Abbott tweeting, the squad campaigning against Tory police crackdown bill with four Labour MPs who are all women of colour, shall we say.
	Except that the thing they really have in common is they're all idiots.
	They're all communists.
	That's what they have in common.
	Nadia Witten, Zahra Sultana.
	Yeah, just the communists of colour in the Labour Party.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah.
	And you see Nadia at the bottom there saying, we stand on the soldiers of giants.
	Yes, you have just ripped this off of the Americans.
	That's exactly right.
	You have no original thoughts of your own, Nadia.
	Correct.
	Well, actually there she's saying that they're taking after Diane Abbott, which, Jesus Christ!
	I mean, of all the people to say you take, you know...
	It's not really very fair to call her a giant.
	I mean, she's a bit plump, but, like, she's in her 60s, isn't she?
	So give her a break.
	That's shaming by the socialists.
	Yeah, Nadia, that's not on.
	Unacceptable.
	So the mentally challenged squad had their own problems.
	So Nadia here being the focus of this episode, because she came out with the stupidest of stupid.
	She went on, what is it, Politics Live, or whatever they named it now, and decided to give her opinion.
	I love Andy, no, she, her.
	I've got to add the pronouns after the tagline now.
	That's a new rule.
	That's actually great.
	I should start doing that because it tells you exactly what they are.
	Anyway, so the...
	It's like the Echo Market.
	I know, right?
	They do it to themselves.
	They're wearing their own badges.
	Okay?
	Yeah, if you insist on doing that to yourself, we will happily oblige.
	God, I didn't notice that.
	Anyway, so she went on here to defend the socialist rioters on the basis that they didn't do nothing.
	So let's just play her clip.
	Nadia, do you want to take this opportunity now, having listened to the rest of the panel?
	Keir Starmer, your party leader, has also condemned the violence, along with the mayor of Bristol.
	Do you want to condemn the violent scenes that we have just shown all our viewers from last night?
	Of course, Jo, I don't want to see violence against anybody.
	So you condemn it.
	And I wish everybody who's been hurt in this a speedy recovery.
	I'm not going to, as I've already said, I'm not going to get into the business Of condemning protesters until we know exactly what's happened.
	Right, but if you're condemning the violence, you do have to condemn some of those people that we can see quite clearly from the pictures were setting fire to police vans, police officers have been injured and they were attacking the police.
	Responding actually to what Anita said as a Labour MP, do you want to just straightforwardly say that was wrong?
	I don't want to see violence being perpetrated against anybody, and I wish everybody who's been harmed a speedy recovery.
	But as I say, I'm not going to get into condemning protesters when we don't know what's happened yet.
	We need a full investigation into what's happened on the side of protesters, as it's happening, but also on the side of the police.
	That's just the function of a democratic society.
	All right.
	Well, people can obviously make their own judgments about what you've said.
	Notice how when she's talking, the corners of her mouth are coming up.
	She's smiling.
	She knows she's getting one.
	She can't believe she's getting away with it.
	Yeah, she can't believe she's getting away with it.
	But I also love that.
	Like, she's condemning the violence, but she won't condemn the people doing the violence, even though she knows that those people are doing the violence.
	Her saying, oh, I need to wait for more information.
	No, you don't.
	We've got the footage.
	Yeah, we know exactly what happened, but it's a Jeremy Corbyn answer.
	I condemn all violence.
	It's not, actually.
	Well, yeah, it's even worse than that, isn't it?
	No, because she's condemning violence as an abstract concept, but the people doing it are not going to condemn them.
	It's being like, I condemn murder, but not murderers.
	I think raping children is bad, but the people who rape children, I can't condemn them.
	That's their viewpoint.
	It's really weird.
	I don't know what to say.
	What's wrong with you?
	The obvious point here is in her mind, I don't know if she's being that smart stupid, is what I'm going to call it.
	Sort of like Fresh Frozen.
	She's I think she's probably just trying to make sure that she isn't seen to be condemning socialism.
	Oh yeah, because it'll be in her little, you know, Labour communist networks.
	All the activists will be like, how could you condemn our fellow comrades who are rising up against the capitalists?
	This is the proletariat's move, blah blah blah.
	And she can't condemn that.
	Yeah, so for example, I just checked up on the Labour Reddit page to see the comments on things like this, because that's a hive of socialist leftists, and they're all like, well done, this is a great interview, she stood her ground, and they're all basically saying, thank you for not condemning us and our violence.
	Yeah, but that's great, because the British public are like, right, so Labour don't condemn the violence.
	Interesting.
	I mean, we're looking at this.
	20 police officers injured, two of them hospitalised, doesn't condemn the violence, even though we've got video evidence of them doing it.
	And that's the way she said, I don't want to see violence.
	Well, sure, I mean, I don't want to see a lot of things, but it doesn't mean I'm not going to do them.
	I don't want to have to do my taxes, but I'm going to do it.
	I don't want to see an Islamic caliphate, but I'm not going to condemn ISIS. Exactly!
	Anyway.
	It's really weird.
	I find that kind of argument, that's something new.
	I've never seen that before.
	It's wonderfully slippery.
	It's got the veneer of, well, I didn't approve, but actually I did approve.
	Packaged in there.
	It's very clever.
	God, man, they really are snakes.
	She's part of the socialist campaign group, which make up 20% of all Labour MPs and of the most famous idiots, shall we say.
	And she didn't back down on this, so the next one here is this...
	Sorry, go back.
	That tweet was her doubling down.
	She was being called out by some Conservative MP or something, I presume.
	He was saying, you've got to doubt this, come on.
	Like, giving her a second chance, which I don't get.
	Like, if you're a Conservative, bury her.
	Why are you throwing her a life ring?
	Like, I don't know.
	Because the Conservatives are idiots and think that these people can live in a civil society with them.
	They don't seem to understand that.
	We've seen this exemplified in the left, in the squad in America, where the squad are 100% against the right in every manifestation.
	So they don't want like a concord where you can have a civil discourse about certain topics and give a bit and give a bit and then come to an agreement.
	No, no, no.
	They're entirely wrong and the left wants to take everything they have.
	And this is what the Conservatives in the UK need to understand.
	Yeah, but thankfully she didn't take the lifeline and instead decided to double down on it, which is just amazing.
	And there was a point made by Alistair Campbell in this whole thing, which was actually funny as well.
	He was like, look, look at the history of Labour since the last Labour government.
	Lose, lose, lose, lose.
	Blair, Blair, Blair.
	Lose, lose, lose, lose.
	You guys suck.
	Like...
	I mean, of course, I condemn Blair.
	Blair's government was atrocious, but he has got a good point in the fact that at least these people aren't electable, and it's good that the British public sees through them.
	But then she also tripled down, so she wasn't content to just double down on it.
	She then went on Twitter to post her, let's say, revised views, but again, didn't condemn the people doing this.
	Well, I'm strongly against the use of violence against anyone.
	Right, so that statement enough is to condemn the protesters, to condemn the rioters.
	No.
	It's to condemn the violence as an abstract concept being done against the police, but not the person doing it.
	But it's a direct logical corollary that you must then condemn the people.
	Dude, we are dealing with socialism.
	What are you talking about?
	I guess we are.
	What was I thinking?
	Firstly, yeah, she goes on.
	It is right to wait until an investigation into why public order broke down a demonstration that was previously peaceful before making sweeping statements.
	Well, we have the admissions from the communist groups that are agitating within it.
	We have the video footage.
	What do you want?
	They're social media statements.
	Yeah.
	From all these various, you know, the homeless antifa or whatever it is.
	Socialist Workers' Party endorsing the violence in a clip and then posting it up and you're like, I'm not sure.
	It might be something else.
	The police might have done this.
	God.
	And then the next one below this.
	What must not be lost in this conversation is the policing bill itself.
	It represents the biggest assault on the right to peaceful protest in a generation.
	It is an illiberal and draconian bill that must be scrapped.
	If we want peaceful protest, peaceful protest must be allowed.
	No, I don't even disagree.
	But the thing is, Nadia, I don't think you're a liberal at all.
	So appealing to liberal values of peaceful protests just strikes me as like Mao saying the same thing.
	So, well, I mean, it's illiberal if we don't allow people to protest in Tiananmen Square.
	Also, there were no protests in Tiananmen Square.
	Don't you know this is a liberal Tories?
	Why would you vote for this?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Why can't you appeal to your own side?
	Yeah, why is it not unsocialist?
	Weird.
	It's not unsocialist, is it?
	No, it's very socialist.
	Yeah, and then also the point there, if we want peaceful protest, peaceful protest must be allowed.
	It is allowed still under this bill.
	There are more restrictions on it.
	I don't like the restrictions, but it is not the end of peaceful protest in existence.
	It's just that you guys can't peaceful protest ever.
	Yeah, when has the left ever actually managed a peaceful protest?
	I mean, Jesus will come back when that happens, I presume.
	And then there's the, you can see it here.
	Diane, great interview today, Nadia.
	Yes, brilliant interview.
	Endorsing the interview.
	I love Diane Abbott, like her judgment here.
	Yeah, that's worth anything at all.
	Great.
	But it's a Labour MP in the socialist group who's congratulating her.
	But she's not the only one.
	John MacDonald has also congratulated her.
	So the actual Marxists.
	I mean, Diane Abbott said that Mao did more good than harm.
	And MacDonald just openly admitted to being a Marxist who wants to overthrow capitalism.
	Yeah.
	And I want to remind people as well, just to keep this in mind.
	If Labour had won the 2019 election, that man would be in charge of the economy.
	Yep.
	Diane Abbott would be in charge of the police.
	Pfft.
	Pfft.
	God.
	That's where we would be.
	What choice?
	We've got that or Boris and the Conservatives.
	I guess it's got to be Boris.
	I mean, that really puts into perspective for me why I'm always like, Conservatives suck, but you have to grate your teeth and just be like, God's sakes.
	Because, I mean, the alternative, there isn't one, quite frankly.
	The alternative is the abolition of everything.
	So, pick one, I guess.
	It's either the immediate abolition of Britain or the gradual abolition of Britain.
	Which one would you like?
	Boy, I love...
	I'm a conservative.
	I love that meme.
	I do.
	But this shouldn't have been a surprise either from Nadia.
	So back to her tweet like a long time ago in which the Edward Coulson statue was taken down.
	Oh.
	So she posted a video of it being destroyed and then posted...
	Sorry, if you can scroll back up so I can read.
	I celebrate these acts of resistance.
	Hmm.
	Resistance against what?
	Yeah.
	But what are you being oppressed by?
	The statue?
	What are you talking about?
	We need a movement that will tear down systematic racism and the slave owner statues that symbolize it.
	What are you talking about?
	Name the law.
	Name the system.
	They can't.
	Maybe one day women of colour could become MPs in this country.
	I believe.
	I believe.
	It won't happen yet, Nadia.
	One day black women won't be sent to the back of the bus.
	We had a brown-skinned MP in 1847 or whatever it was.
	1841, I think it was.
	Some ridiculously long ago.
	Literally before the US had abolished slavery.
	Yeah, and then since then we've had dozens upon dozens, but nah, systematic racism is keeping brown people down in the UK. Shut up.
	And we need to win a government that will always be on the side of this movement.
	Exactly.
	You need a socialist government that will be on the side of these radical Marxists.
	That's what they want.
	Yeah.
	And that's why it's no surprise whatsoever.
	There's also another tweet from her in which she's picking up the organizers of Black Lives Matter demos the same day, so this is in response to that previous tweet, in which she's proud of everyone for doing this.
	She's proud of everyone for destroying this country.
	I'm like, okay, great.
	That's what you've got to vote for on the other side.
	So, anti-rule of law or the slow abolition of Britain?
	Yeah.
	God, I wish we had a Republican Party.
	Yeah, me too.
	We don't.
	But not to get rid of the Queen.
	God save the Queen.
	But there's also the point here, which is, as Andy Noah raises, any criticism of Black Lives Matter is racial hatred, according to these people.
	So you can see All Black Lives UK, so this is the parent organisation of the Bristol one.
	British politicians, British media shaking hands, blaming BRAC people for everything.
	No.
	Criticising you Marxists is not racial hatred, but I bet it will be by the end of the next decade or whatever.
	Because we have laws against racial hatred in this country in the same way we have laws against hate speech.
	And I bet they'll expand it so any criticism of Black Lives Matter will just be classed as racial hatred.
	Well, sharing memes of George Floyd has already been made illegal, as we found out yesterday.
	Because white people are offended by them.
	I guess, yeah.
	Not brown people.
	There's no brown people in that conversation.
	No.
	But there's a good reply from Andy Ngo here.
	Sorry, if you can go back so I can read it.
	No one is blaming black people, as your organisation is mostly made up and funded by whites.
	Some of us, like myself, are bringing attention to your Bristol chapter's role in calling for comrades to go to the protest-turned-riot-in-Bristol last night.
	Can we get a salute in the chat for Andy Ngo for doing the Lord's work here?
	Just wherever he goes, he brings sense.
	So I'm glad he's here, at least.
	BTFO and communists.
	And there's the good point being made.
	Just don't forget this.
	I know this will just become part of the woodwork in a year or six months, so if you can go to the next one, it's just someone making the point here.
	Bristol is the best advert and reason to never vote Labour.
	Remember Momentum, Labour MPs and socialist groups that all supported and in some cases applauded last night's appalling behaviour.
	That's the world they want to create.
	That's not the world for me.
	Never Labour, never socialism.
	And he is correct.
	That's Heather, but good on her.
	With all the problems I have with the Conservative Party and the stupid stuff they do, she is correct in this point, which is just that there is no alternative at the moment, which sucks.
	And I look forward to another right-wing party doing the Lord's work, but they're not there.
	Although there is some good news out of the Labour Party.
	Sorry, out of the Conservative Party.
	Freudian slip.
	So one of their councillors has said something rather based in response to this, and Labour people are upset.
	I just wanted to give it a mention because it's hilarious.
	So if we go to the next one, just bomb Bristol.
	LAUGHTER I see the Labour Party are outraged.
	No, we're meant to be doing the bombing.
	We want to bomb the police station, not you.
	Yeah, literally, you guys are the ones who are setting things on fire and throwing Molotovs.
	Like, why are you offended when someone agrees with the idea?
	I mean, you literally bombed Bristol!
	Like, you were in Bristol!
	You were firebombing it!
	Yeah, firebombing it!
	And when a conservator says, you're like, how could you, sir?
	That's words!
	That's even worse than actions!
	But yeah, that's the state of what's going on there.
	The left wing of the Labour Party and then, well, the centre of it, let's say, with Keir Starmer, unable to condemn the fact that this is exactly what was predicted and now has happened and will expand...
	I mean, I saw people on the radio this morning, I think it was the police calling up, saying, are we expecting a summit of discontent now?
	I was like, well...
	Yes.
	Yeah?
	Why is this going to stop?
	The rot has set into the Labour Party.
	There's nothing they're going to be able to do about it, because Keir Starmer can't argue against the fundamental concepts that are driving this forward, because Keir Starmer, like everyone else involved in British politics, never takes the time to read anything.
	And then you've got the people around him, the socialists, who are just happily saying, yeah, this is fine, we're not going to denounce it.
	I think violence is bad, but people doing the violence, nah, they're alright.
	Won't condemn them.
	Until I get more evidence.
	Evidence of what?
	It's just obvious nonsense.
	But that's the response, and that's what I suppose you'd expect and what we can come to expect over the next few months.
	It's going to get worse.
	Sorry, black pill, but...
	Speaking of things getting worse, this is kind of a white pill.
	It's always nice to watch a Bolshevik publication like Team Vogue descending into their own internal revolution where they consume one another.
	So I thought we'd go over it.
	This is a bit of fun.
	So Team Vogue has become a communist publication.
	Now, you might think, well, that sounds kind of an extreme statement.
	But you just need to search on Teen Vogue for communism.
	They've got a tag, and they've got lots of articles under that tag.
	One of them is this one.
	As you can see, it's Karl Marx.
	But if you can scroll down to the...
	I presume it's not articles describing the Holodomor situation in North Korea, the leap forward.
	No, they're fluff pieces, like this one.
	Who is Karl Marx?
	Meet the anti-capitalist scholar.
	An austere scholar.
	An austere communist scholar.
	And this is just an amazing fluff piece.
	This was written in 2018, so they've been doing this for a while, and their social media is actually hilarious, because it alternates between, like, here's a piece of fashion advice, and also, here's why we need the revolution.
	It's like, what?
	But anyway, I'll just read a couple of bits.
	You may have come across the communist memes on social media.
	The man, the meme, the legend behind this trend is Karl Marx, who developed the theory of communism, which advocates for workers' control over their labour instead of their bosses.
	Weird how the opposite has always happened under communism, and no one's been in control of any of their labour, and they've been sent to forced labour camps.
	Just really weird.
	The Communist Manifesto is most usually the work of Marx taught in schools, and he is one of the most assigned economists in US college classes.
	I don't think he's an economist at all.
	I think that's a really optimistic way of describing him.
	Anyway, so how can teens learn the legacy of Marx's ideas and how are they relevant to the current political climate?
	Teen Vogue chatted with two educators about how they apply these concepts to the current events in the classroom.
	Former Drexel University professor George Siccarillo Ma uses Marx to teach history through an emotional fluid and ever-changing lens.
	Do you remember him?
	No.
	He's the guy in Christmas 2019 who tweeted out, All I want for Christmas is white genocide.
	Oh.
	What a surprise.
	He's a Marxist.
	Yeah, what a shock.
	And he's a former professor because he used to be teaching communism.
	But anyway, so this gives you an example of just how unbelievably far down the communist rabbit hole Teen Vogue is.
	They're quoting All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide Man.
	Yeah, saying how great Karl Marx was.
	I mean, what more do you need?
	Pro-genocide stuff as it goes.
	As it goes, Teen Vogue has a surprising preference for it.
	Again, when I was a kid, Teen Vogue was just a magazine for girls.
	It was just about fashion and makeup, as far as I remember.
	I mean, I never read it, but I saw people reading it in school and thought, that looks for girls, why would I care about that?
	And now I've got to talk about it because it's promoting communism.
	Just everything.
	What is that law?
	Everything that isn't right wing.
	Conquest second law.
	Yeah, everything that isn't explicitly right wing becomes left wing.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	Perfect example.
	Anyway, so Team Vogue decided they were going to hire a woman called...
	I assume a woman, actually.
	I didn't check.
	Alexi...
	I'll just presume she her.
	Alexi McCammond as editor-in-chief.
	And this was great because literally before she even started on her first day, after the announcement, a bunch of left-wing Twitter activists had gone through her Twitter history, found something they didn't like, and she's already cancelled.
	That was fast.
	Before her first day, right?
	So the publication announced that McCammon27 would be taking on the position, that she was slated to start next week, but on Thursday she issued a statement on Twitter indicating she wouldn't be assuming the role after all.
	I became a journalist to help lift up the stories and voices of our most vulnerable communities.
	So yeah, not to report the truth.
	She became a journalist to uplift voices of vulnerable communities.
	I became a journalist to be an activist.
	Yes, to propagandize people.
	As a young woman of color, that's part of the reason I was so excited to lead the Teen Vogue team in its next chapter.
	My past tweets have overshadowed the work I've done to highlight the people and issues I care about.
	Yeah, it makes it sound like she's like Mother Teresa or something, doesn't it?
	She spent a few decades out in some backwards country digging wells or something, and these tweets have overshadowed my past humanitarian work.
	It's like, bitch, you sit on your keyboard on Twitter and type articles about how the world is racist.
	You've not done anything.
	You've not done a damn thing.
	You've not helped anyone either.
	Yeah, you've not helped anyone, yeah.
	But anyway, the tweets in question were written in 2011 when she was 17.
	So decade-old tweets have got her fired from a job she hadn't even started.
	I do have to wonder, I mean, at what point does that stop?
	I mean, if I, you know, because kids growing up today, let's say you're like three years old as well, sorry, seven years old or something, and you've got Twitter.
	I don't know, you write something.
	Can that be used to cancel you?
	Why not?
	Is there any limiting principle?
	No.
	I mean, this...
	Brave New World, I want her.
	She's 17 years old here.
	You know, she hasn't even finished school.
	Anyway, the tweets apparently included derogatory stereotypes about Asians and slurs against gay people.
	I can't remember what the gay people one was, but she said she went out drinking or something.
	I hope I don't wake up with Asian eyes or something.
	Like with every article about this, did they show those statements?
	Not in this one.
	That's what I mean.
	Every time there's an article about someone said something on Twitter five years ago, or someone said a meme, they never post it.
	Because they know the audience would look at it and go, well, that's not very important.
	Well, none of this is very important.
	I just think it's hilarious.
	It would make normal people calm down, but instead they have to lie to propagate leftist cancelling.
	Stereotypes about Asians and slurs against gay people.
	It must have been bad.
	I can't tell you.
	Too bad.
	Too bad for you to know.
	The tweets resurfaced.
	I love that.
	As if the tweets just bobbed to the surface of the bath.
	No.
	Like, a bunch of Twitter activists went through her and searched, you know, her name and particular slur.
	And they would have done this for dozens of different slurs until they found the ones that came up.
	But it prompted 20 staff members at Teen Vogue to post on social media and demand that Condé Nast, which is the parent company, address the situation.
	As more than 20 members of the staff of Teen Vogue...
	I mean, I can't believe Teen Vogue's got 20 members of staff.
	We've built our outlet's reputation as a voice for justice and change.
	Do you understand that you write for Teen Vogue?
	We take immense pride in our work and create an inclusive environment, which is why this woman of colour needs to be kicked out.
	That's why we've written a letter to the management at Condé Nast about the recent hire of Alexi McCammond as our new editor-in-chief in light of her past racist and homophobic tweets.
	Checkmate.
	We've heard the concerns of our readers, and we stand with you.
	That's right, you're actually defending someone else.
	These aren't even your concerns anymore, these are other people's concerns.
	In a moment of historically high anti-Asian violence, tie it in there, where's the anti-Asian violence coming from?
	Well, that's a subject for another time.
	White supremacy, we're going to say.
	And amid the ongoing struggles of the LGBT community, which will never end, we as the staff of Teen Vogue fully reject those sentiments.
	Stunning and brave.
	They are against racist and homophobic tweets.
	I think racism is bad.
	Give me the medals.
	Yes.
	Yes, pin them to my chest right here.
	We hope that an internal conversation will be fruitful in maintaining the integrity granted to us by our audience.
	Yes.
	Amazing.
	So she, McCammond, of course, apologised for this on the 10th.
	That was on the 8th.
	On the 10th she says, I'm sorry for my past racist and homophobic tweets.
	There is no excuse for perpetuating those awful stereotypes in any way.
	You're an idiot.
	Yeah.
	Should have just doubled down.
	No, it didn't get her a job back.
	Yeah, so there's no point in that.
	Double down.
	No, they do have slanty eyes.
	But that's the thing.
	It's just like the whole experience of online discourse is apologizing never works.
	No, there's no point.
	I'm so sorry to have used such hurtful and inexcusable language, she added.
	But nice try, though, to be honest, because begging for mercy won't save you now.
	Despite the apology, Ulta Beauty, which is now a beauty company, paused its advertising deal, which was reportedly worth seven figures.
	So her decade-old tweet...
	Through the lens of wokeness, cost Teen Vogue millions of dollars in advertising.
	I don't buy this.
	I bet the beauty company was just like, well, we're not making many sales, let's cut the advertising budget.
	Oh, if someone says something racist, we'll use that as a justification to tie it into their Marxist worldview.
	I bet they are actively inclined in that way, but I do wonder whether or not it's cover.
	Well, I mean, why would it be, though?
	Because, I mean, if you're a beauty company, you're going to want to advertise in places like Team Vogue until you realize they become Bolshevik training centers.
	I suppose I should say, are they spending that money somewhere else?
	Well, I don't know.
	We haven't got that information yet.
	But the point is, like, literally they suspended an advertising deal for millions of dollars because of their old tweet.
	That's how stupid this all is, right?
	Yeah.
	In an email to staff obtained by the Huffington Post, Stan Duncan, the Chief People Officer at Condé Nast, said that he and their Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer were committed to becoming a more equitable and inclusive organisation.
	The High Priestess has said something.
	Yeah, but it makes it sound like Team Vogue was a very unequal and exclusive organisation right up until this point.
	It's fair to say that Alexi McCammond's appointment with Team Vogue brought many difficult and important conversations to the forefront over the last few weeks.
	I want to be fully transparent with you about our decision-making process regarding her appointment.
	Were you calling her a racist and a homophobe?
	Which you were about to hire.
	Yeah, which you were about to hire, for some reason.
	And now you're not.
	Just really makes you think, doesn't it?
	But, yeah, he went on to say that they agreed it was best to part ways as not to overshadow the important work happening at Team Vogue.
	Imagine.
	Imagine thinking that important work happens at Team Vogue.
	Oh, boy.
	Well, I suppose bringing the revolution to revolutionaries.
	But the revolution isn't done eating its own, because it turns out that one of the staffers who was complaining about Alex C. McCammon's racist tweets has racist tweets of her own.
	Oh, joined the club.
	Yeah.
	So this is a Christine David, the senior social media manager at Condé Nus Mag, earlier this month made public the letter, complaining of it, and she tweeted, I'm so proud of my Teen Vogue colleagues.
	The work continues.
	And then just hours after McCammon denounced her resignation, David wrote on Twitter, you know, she's very happy about this, and yet David, who calls herself, quote, a queer, fat, Philippine ex-femme in Brooklyn...
	Calls herself genetic dead-end...
	And obviously sane.
	Has still had posts of her own in which she repeatedly dropped the N-word.
	She at least twice referred to a friend who appears to be white as an N-word in 2009, and also in a joke tweet.
	And she herself is of Irish and Filipino descent, so she's not got an N-word pass.
	Should have purchased one.
	$25 a pop.
	I don't know why.
	But I love how she's done the cheaper one there as well.
	It doesn't end in an R. Ends in an A. Ends in an A because, you know, she's not black enough.
	But that's actually worse than the person she's announcing.
	Yeah, but way worse.
	Way worse.
	But the irony, though, is that in 2019 she'd published an article titled Stop Using the N-Word If You're Not Black.
	Yeah.
	A letter to myself.
	Yeah, yeah.
	A letter to my former self on Twitter.
	Shut up!
	So, I went to have a look at her Twitter feed to see what it was like, and her tweets are protected.
	Oh, boy.
	She actually saw the show.
	What is it?
	Pop coach, enthusiasm, fat queer femme, she, her.
	I mean, that sounds like an insult.
	If I was like, look, you fat queer, you'd be like, hey, that's out of line.
	But she's like, no, I am a fat queer.
	Okay, well then...
	I really like the idea of using the pronouns as an insult, though.
	Yeah.
	Okay, she, her.
	But what I like is that Tariq Nasheed is on progressive patrol, and I'm living for it.
	I'm actually living for it.
	Team Vogue got rid of a black female staffer for saying the word Asian in small tweets, and the white media boosted that story.
	But Team Vogue still employs a white Asian staffer named Christine David, who tweeted anti-black epithets, and now the white media is radio silent.
	Get them, Tariq!
	Get them!
	Finish them!
	Ha ha ha ha!
	I'm like, it's really soon.
	He's getting more and more bass as time goes by.
	I love the contradictory nature of the phrase white N. What?
	I didn't even coin it.
	She coins white N. Much older.
	2010, man, she's way ahead of the curve.
	All credit to the fat queer she-her.
	So yeah, it's fun watching the revolution eat its own.
	Couldn't happen to a better outlet.
	No.
	A better group of waste of space.
	The important work that they're doing will have to be on pause for a moment.
	No.
	Again, they seem to forget that they're working for Teen Vogue.
	It wasn't an outlet that I had much thought about credibility with.
	I didn't associate it.
	Haven't they been falling down this rabbit hole for a while, though?
	Oh, yeah.
	I think you've done videos about this where you've referenced the fact that they've done other puff pieces.
	Oh, loads.
	They've got loads and loads of pro-communist, pro-woke articles saying, here's how you can become a fashionable communist revolutionary in six easy steps.
	One, do your hammer and sickle makeup in this particular way and stuff like this.
	Ten times.
	Communism totally worked, we swear.
	No, they've not got one of those.
	They don't ever mention the failures of communism.
	It's just assumed to be correct.
	You know, I ran into a guy at Speaker's Corner once, and I actually asked him, come on, okay, so anarcho-communism, give me an example of ever.
	He didn't even give me, like, the stupid answers of, like...
	The Rojava, or...
	Yeah, none of that.
	He didn't go, like, revolutionary Spain or some nonsense.
	He went with, well, there was a commune in Manchuria before the Japanese turned up, and I was like, oh, really?
	Like, that's how obscure we have to go!
	And what happened when the Japanese turned up?
	He was like, well, the Japanese imperialists crushed it.
	I was like, yeah, okay.
	Well, that doesn't sound like a success then, does it?
	Sounds like a failure to me.
	If the Japanese can just rock up and crush your commune, your commune sucks.
	Can't even stand up to fascists.
	What's wrong with you?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Get some liberalism.
	No, but that's exactly it, you know?
	Exactly.
	You know, why would I choose a philosophy that's going to lose to fascism?
	You know, sorry, liberalism's gone like 4-0 so far.
	You know, get wrecked.
	How's Nagasaki doing?
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know, what's going on with Germany these days, you know?
	Oh, boy.
	We beat them so bad, they're now destroying themselves, so...
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, yeah, I... Enough.
	But anyway, so...
	Speaking of things that are important as well, let's go straight into the mostly peaceful Miami beach parties.
	Now it's weird that you have to describe a party as mostly peaceful, because most parties don't include violence.
	Maybe yours.
	Maybe mine, yeah.
	I mean, mine were drunken revelry, where people have a good time, listen to music, dance, get drunk, throw up a bit, go home, have a hangover.
	That's what I always envisaged a party to be.
	Most parties didn't require curfews.
	For some reason, there is now a curfew in Miami.
	So, again...
	These fine folk are allowed to live, like, as human beings, right?
	They're not prisoners of lockdowns.
	And yet, somehow, Miami's like, right, we need a curfew.
	We're not going to have a lockdown, but we are going to have a curfew.
	It's like, okay.
	I love the text, though, as well.
	I don't know how well people can see on the screen, if we can get it up.
	It's just like, Miami Beach curfew at 8pm till 6am.
	But, like, half of it's in a different colour.
	It's like it's on fire.
	Yeah, like the whole thing's burning.
	It's like, welcome to Miami!
	And so I thought, well, I'll go and check the regular news outlets that I get for my trusted, reliable news.
	And so I went to MSNBC, because where else would you go?
	And Miami Beach declares a state of emergency of spring break crowds.
	And you'll see that big coronavirus picture there.
	Wow, that's interesting.
	Must have a lot to do with the coronavirus.
	And they say, well, you know, they've declared a state of emergency of the crowds that have descended on the popular South Florida destination.
	During an afternoon news conference, the mayor announced an APM curfew.
	Both measures would be in effect for 72 hours.
	As we hit the peak of spring break, we are quite simply overwhelmed, said the city manager, Royal Aguilera.
	Oh, very interesting.
	The crowds resemble those of a rock concert, according to officials.
	You couldn't see the pavement, you couldn't see the grass.
	So it's just the raw numbers of people in Miami that are causing the problem.
	State figures indicate that parts of South Florida have continued to be hotspots of COVID-19 transmission.
	Well, that must be what this is about then.
	Amid this backdrop, authorities have had to grapple with throngs of college students and young people who have flocked to the warm shores of Miami Beach.
	So it's all about the coronavirus and just the raw number of people, according to MSNBC. I mean, it's a concern you could have right now.
	I mean, if you're concerned about the spread of coronavirus, no, but if you are that kind of person, you could have a concern about this.
	And I'm sure that's their concern, an only concern.
	Yeah.
	And so I was like, right, Ken, that's weird.
	I feel like I'm fully informed there.
	And so I went to The Guardian, and they were like, well, it's just beachgoers, isn't it?
	Throngs of young people holidaying in Miami Beach have prompted a crackdown by police, which included the use of pepper balls fired into the crowds.
	Yeah.
	Because they were on the beach too much.
	Yeah, there were too many people on the beach.
	Pepper ball them.
	I mean, it makes the police seem unreasonable, doesn't it?
	Police say they've arrested more than a thousand people.
	Whoa.
	For what?
	For going in the sea.
	For what?
	Doing beer bongs on the beach?
	What are we talking about here?
	This is apparently twice as many as arrested last year.
	The city manager, Raul Aguilera, told the news station that he believes visitors have traveled to Miami Beach to engage in lawlessness and an anything-goes party attitude.
	Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Clements told the paper that the officers fired the projectile because the crowd had begun to surge towards officers.
	Why would they be doing this?
	I thought they were just there to have a good time and have a party.
	What's going on?
	Like, it's so weird, but the crowd, the amorphous, underfund crowd.
	The groups of mums and kids and dads and just families wholesome as hell.
	Decided to charge the police and they broke out the pepper rounds.
	Yeah, like the little toddlers are picking up the plastic, you know, like spades, charging the police with the pepper balls.
	ACAB. The police response to the large spring rake crowds has garnered criticism from some black leaders.
	Who said anything about black?
	Why did that come into it?
	Black leaders, just out of interest, who know that many thousands of tourists who have converged on the city are people of colour.
	Well, you said it.
	Like, no one else brought up people of colour until the black leaders were like, hey, we feel personally attacked by this.
	So what is, what's going on?
	And Deanne Connolly Graham of Miami Beach's Black Affairs Advisory Committee said racial undertones existed in the social media posts of the local leaders who referred to black tourists as thugs or animals.
	Wow, what a bunch of racists.
	That is a pretty horrible thing to call a bunch of black wholesome families who were just out at the beach.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't know why the police, the racist police, decided to just target these black families with pepper...
	Bullets and things.
	Arrest a thousand of them.
	That seems uncharitable.
	Stephen Hunter Johnson, the group's advisory chair, called the reactions from officials performative and a show of unnecessary force.
	He said, I mean, if they're just on the beach and the cops storm in with their riot shields and their guns and start pepper-bulleting the black families on the beach, I'd be like, yeah, that's a miracle.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Just clubbing toddlers as they go.
	They didn't vote for Biden, get them!
	You a blank?
	Yeah.
	I would agree.
	That is indeed an unnecessary show of force.
	Beating up toddlers on the beach who are just having a good time.
	Just racist cops, man.
	I'm telling you.
	He said tourists and locals were only given a few hours notice before the curfew went into effect.
	The Miami Beach mayor, Dan Gelber, said the city is targeting the conduct and not a specific group of people.
	That's weird.
	And so I thought, well, okay, I need more information on this.
	What the hell's going on?
	So I went to the Associated Press, the most trusted name in news worldwide.
	And the AP had an article called, Miami Beach curfew aims to shut down spring break partying.
	A party ending curfew.
	The word party is used an awful lot in this.
	At least they also actually provide an image of what went on, unlike MSNBC. I guess so.
	I guess so.
	But a party-ending curfew imposed after fights, gunfire, property destruction, and dangerous stampedes broke out among huge crowds of people in Miami Beach.
	What?
	Why?
	Why?
	Why would there be stampedes, property destruction, and gunfire?
	What the hell is going on?
	The partying was out of control.
	Is this partying?
	The partying was out of control.
	Partying like Arabs, I guess.
	It's not a party.
	It sounds like a riot.
	One restaurant was turned upside down in a melee.
	Oh yes, most parties involve a melee.
	The chairs were used as weapons and broken glass covered the floor.
	Maybe it's time for us to drop the word party, AP. Just saying.
	Are you sure the word party is appropriate to what's going on here?
	The iconic Cleveland or South Beach bar next door had suspend all food and beverage operations.
	Gunshots were fired and a young woman was hospitalized with a badly cut leg.
	Okay.
	The crowd was defiant, but mostly non-violent on Saturday night.
	Right, so it was a mostly non-violent melee that happened.
	Mostly non-violent party.
	I mean, that's a new phrase.
	Just...
	So yeah, the crowd was defiant but mostly non-violent on Saturday night, refusing to submit to the curfew that had only been enacted four hours earlier when officers in bulletproof vests released pepper spray balls to break up the party.
	The crowd showed up again on Sunday night defying the curfew again.
	The situation ignited racial tensions.
	Some of the white residents referred to the crowd of predominantly black tourists as animals or thugs on social media.
	Again, pretty gross.
	I mean, if these black mums and dads and their kids are, you know, walking into these restaurants and firing off their guns in their party atmosphere.
	Turning them upside down, using the chairs as weapons, and engaging in what the AP can describe as a melee.
	You know what kids are like.
	Boys will be boys, you know.
	How can boys always be allowed to get away with this?
	So yeah, this actually brought the racists out who were like, maybe you shouldn't destroy our town.
	And they were like, that's racist.
	We definitely have to recognize we are fighting an undertone of racism, says Deanne Connolly Graham, who we heard from earlier.
	Of course, that's the case.
	And Miami Beach, meanwhile, banned alcohol from the beach with all alcohol sales after 10pm and even sent text messages to tourists warning, vacation responsibly or be arrested.
	Not much of a warning, is it?
	It's command.
	Well, yeah, but like, who has to be told to vacation responsibly?
	Look, these mums, I tell on you.
	So what's happening exactly?
	I had to go to Twitter to find out exactly what's happening, and there's an amazing thread of videos.
	If we can get them up and have them playing in the background, John, so we can talk about what's going on here.
	It appears that this is one of the restaurant fights that was just going on.
	And, I mean, I wouldn't want to be involved in that party.
	Don't see many mums and dads and kids.
	I see a lot of haymakers being thrown.
	Look at that!
	Just poof!
	I mean, what is this about?
	What started this?
	What are they fighting over?
	I ordered my food first.
	Why did that table get it?
	But this is rough looking stuff, man.
	Let's just go to the next one.
	More randos fighting.
	Again, it's spilled out into the streets now.
	And titties are flying everywhere.
	Because it's not just men doing it.
	It's women as well.
	And the clothes...
	I mean, this guy is attacking that woman.
	I don't know why.
	What's...
	And then another one just breaks out?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Just other people.
	Just start hitting.
	Get her on the floor.
	Pull her weave.
	Kick.
	Oh, no, no.
	He's getting in there, too.
	He wants some.
	Oh, my God.
	I don't know.
	Like, totally.
	I thought she was coming over to help.
	Okay.
	Okay, so.
	Another party of pieces.
	There's a chair being.
	What the fuck?
	It's like wrestling.
	Right, let's go to the next one.
	Don't mean to be rude, I'm sure people are being hurt here, but what on earth?
	But why are they fighting?
	And again, just continues out in the streets with just groups of women hitting each other.
	Pulling each other's hair out.
	Yeah.
	I love this guy.
	Random guy looking quite distressed by it all.
	Don't blame him, to be honest.
	But yeah, right.
	Okay, let's carry on.
	You can watch the blood sports.
	This was in an airport where apparently two black women decided that they needed to have a standoff.
	And there we go.
	What's the airport security going to do?
	Get in the way?
	That looks pretty dangerous.
	I don't want to get in the way of that.
	Why are they doing it?
	Why are they doing it?
	What are they fighting over?
	Men?
	It's like Peter Griffin and the chicken.
	Yeah.
	The eyes narrow, they see each other, they clock each other, and they just start going at it.
	And so this, of course, has a negative impact on Florida's and Miami's outdoor life, like people walking out of checks for restaurants.
	So they go into the restaurant, order their food, eat their food, and then just leave.
	And this is costing the restaurants thousands of dollars in addition to all of the damage that's been done to the restaurant by the partiers of peace.
	When you have outdoor dining, there's a social contract that you're meant to wait and wait for the check and then pay the check politely and then leave.
	You don't just storm off.
	Yeah, and if you just storm off, then you won't be able to enjoy your food before paying for it.
	You have to pay for it first.
	And then we'll have a world where you have to pay for your food first instead of one where you can pay for it last.
	Yeah.
	So you will have less leverage over the restaurant if they serve you terrible food.
	Yeah.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, parties of peace.
	And you've got another video here of waiters chasing down the diners.
	So there's just some people fighting for no reason.
	Yeah.
	Just, again, a chap.
	Just a nondescript...
	person who was trying to escape from the waiters.
	The waiters had to chase him down and literally grab him and drag him back to the restaurant.
	It's like a Swedish comedy.
	Do you have a description of the suspect?
	He is a person.
	Yeah, that's it.
	But he doesn't even stop there.
	Oh, no, no, get him, Blads, get him!
	How has it come to this Florida?
	Just out of interest.
	But anyway, they also went to residential areas to cause public disturbances, which is nice if there's one thing that you're just hanging around in your house.
	I believe this is actually because the curfew area, like when you look at it on a map, contains most of the business area of it.
	It's not even a very big area.
	No, so if you just leave that area and go to a residential part, well...
	Brilliant, you can jump on someone's car.
	Yeah, that's such an acceptable.
	Wonderful.
	Wonderful.
	Parties of peace have arrived in Miami neighborhoods, and I bet everyone's thrilled.
	But the police, of course, disperse the crowd because they're racist, I guess.
	Can we go to the next one?
	Yeah, so, yeah, police disperse the crowd using tear gas, pepper bullets, because the police hate black people, even though no one had accused this of being a problem with black people.
	I mean, if those were white people doing all that, they wouldn't have done anything.
	No.
	They would have just been like, ah, a little scamp, and then just driven off.
	Yeah, you would just pick up another chair and smack your mate with it.
	Start handing chairs to them.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's what would have happened, totally.
	Yeah.
	It's obvious racism against black people here.
	Duh.
	I mean, why would you even question that?
	And if we go to the next one, we get to find out how many people were arrested.
	So over a thousand people were arrested, 350 of those being felonies, and 80-plus guns have been seized.
	Why did the parties bring so many weapons?
	Land of the Free, I guess.
	Yeah, but I guess.
	But I'm going to Miami, to the beach for spring break.
	I'm going to go get really drunk.
	Let me take my gun.
	It's a bit of a strange habit.
	Let me literally bring more guns than the British Armed Forces are allowed.
	Sorry, what are you doing?
	But anyway, Miami Beach Police, of course, denied that there was a racial motivation for this.
	They were like, well, look, it was the behavior of the people that was the problem.
	Yeah, that's what a racist would say.
	That's what a racist would say.
	The local chapter of the NAACP said police strategies would not have been so severe with a largely white crowd.
	Seems really racist.
	Yeah.
	He's saying black people are violent.
	And that if it was white people, they wouldn't have been violent.
	That's a racist statement.
	It's the NAACP's opinion.
	That's what their view of black people is.
	The crowds are largely made up of people of colour.
	Well, hang on a second.
	Why are we dragging all of the other non-whites into this?
	Well, that's not...
	Like, sorry, Asians.
	We're not blaming you.
	How many Arabs were there?
	Yeah, exactly.
	How many Mexicans?
	Oh yeah, there's people of colour.
	Oh, I see how this is going.
	How many Italians, you know?
	Pierre says, Miami Beach police have done a good job seizing 102 guns in the past six weeks, but police strategies, which included using SWAT team vehicles, firing pep spray balls to diverse crowds, would not have been so severe with a largely white crowd.
	I believe the city's reaction is unfair, says Daniela.
	Okay, but I mean, if you were running that restaurant, you might be like, I think the police were too slow and should have been here before they really sort of kicked off.
	They only do it when it's these types of events.
	Spring break and urban beach weekend.
	When you have any other activities on Miami Beach, you don't get pepper bullets shot at you.
	Yikes!
	That's a really racist statement.
	That's a really, really roundabout way of condemning the black community in America that I disavow.
	The Miami-Dade chapter of the NAACP said the heavy-handed tactics and overwhelming police presence are partially based on a racist view of the crowds congregating.
	Really.
	It's about race.
	I don't think it is.
	I think it might be about the lawlessness of fighting.
	Well, that's what the police said, but that's a racist statement.
	Our department polices criminal behaviour, not specific people.
	We take measures to ensure everyone's safety, said Police Sergeant Ernesto Rodriguez, an obvious racist.
	A white man.
	Is Rodriguez part of the People of Colour Progressives?
	I mean, you tell us.
	We're not making up those nonsense categories.
	Yeah, I have no idea, but the white supremacists running the police station don't think this is about race.
	I just love the idea that it's the entire police station, because I know it's not, but just imagine it's all run by Hispanics or something, and they're just like, all these racist white supremacists.
	Anyway, this was such a fun segment, I had to include it, because they're all trying to dance around the fact that the group is black.
	Yeah.
	They don't want to talk about it.
	And in not trying to talk about it, they kind of implicate themselves as being the racists, saying, you're only doing this because black people are violent.
	And it's like, no one said that.
	You said that.
	No one even mentioned black people, mate.
	We're all talking about partygoers.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah, and specifically talking about this particular group of violent people, thugs and criminals, who you can actually see on video.
	And you're like, yeah, but they're black.
	And it's like, hmm.
	Interesting.
	So you, you are the guy saying all black people act like these violent young people.
	Yeah.
	That's pretty racist, bro.
	Why are you implicating?
	And not just black people as well, all people of colour.
	Now I'm dragging in just like, you know, the sort of six billion non-white people on Earth.
	Inuits are just like this.
	Exactly.
	Why are the Greeks like this?
	I don't know, you know.
	So yeah, I enjoy this.
	So, finally, since we finished a few minutes earlier, let's talk about one of the dispatches we've got.
	Because this is something that's been making the rounds, and I'm interested to know what your opinion is.
	Trump's apparently going to be creating his own social media platform.
	Trump's senior advisor, Jason Miller, announced that Trump is going to, in a few months, have his own social media platform.
	He said, I do think we're going to see President Trump return to social media in probably a month or two on his own platform.
	I think that's something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media.
	It's going to completely redefine the game and everyone's going to be waiting and watching to see exactly what Trump does.
	Well, that's good fluffing, but what do you think?
	I don't know.
	I mean, how much thought was he put into this?
	How much is he willing to pay for it?
	How long is it going to take?
	Two months, three months, apparently.
	I don't know if it's going to be up to scratch in two, three months.
	On the plus side, if anyone's got the resources to do it...
	Yeah, I mean, I wish him well.
	I'm not saying I wish him bad or anything, but I think it's very optimistic.
	I wonder, because he is in contact with the guys who ran Parler, right?
	And I'm sure he must have, you know, at least some of his team are in contact with Andrew Torber and his team.
	So I do wonder if there's some coordination there, and if there is, then that'll actually be good, because I'd hope to see him do the smart thing, like Andrew Torber, and set up all of it from the ground up, away from progressive...
	Away from the cathedral.
	Progressive economy, yeah.
	Cathedral.
	Yeah, I mean, like, Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Spotify, Twitch, Shopify, and Stripe in the wake of the events of the Capitol.
	He's going to have to make his own bank as well.
	That's being pointed out in the chat.
	Yeah, but I mean, like I said, if anyone's got the resources and ability to do it, it is actually Trump.
	I mean, he's got the money, he's got the connections, he's got the name, right?
	He's got the fan base.
	I'm not saying I won't join it.
	Absolutely join it.
	Why not?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Which, you know, and I wish him all the best.
	I just think it's kind of optimistic, but I hope it's good.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, it really depends how it functions as well.
	Is it going to function like Facebook?
	Is it going to function like YouTube?
	Is it going to function like Twitter?
	Or is it going to be a kind of amalgam of all three?
	We don't have any further information, unfortunately.
	The thing I did see, I think it was Sleeping Giants, you know, the leftists cancel group.
	They were happy about this, because in their view, they saw it as like, well, all the MAGA people would just isolate themselves on this one social media, and then they won't be able to troll any of the leftists, therefore we've won.
	I wonder what you make of that.
	That's not win.
	I mean, don't get me wrong, there's something to be said for leaving the leftists to stew in their own juices, because it's making them insane.
	The stuff that's coming off Twitter now, if you go back five or six years, they'd say silly things on Twitter, but there's always a form of moderation because there'd be someone who disagrees with them.
	But now it's just constant echo chambers spiralling down.
	Like Tumblr.
	Like Tumblr.
	Where it gets so insane that the general public, people who don't pay attention to this kind of stuff, are just like, what?
	I posted a couple of tweets that someone had posted on Twitter on my Facebook page in the day.
	Because they were like, look, I'm not a lesbian because I don't like sucking dick.
	I'm a lesbian because I like sucking dick.
	And it's like, right.
	Okay.
	I mean, like you're having a normal one on Twitter then.
	I suck dick.
	That's right.
	I'm a lesbian.
	Exactly.
	And so it's just like, you're right.
	Okay.
	So, I mean, don't go wrong.
	I will enjoy what continues to come out of left-wing social media if literally all of the non-leftists are forced to go on like Gab Parlour or Mines or Trump's platform.
	But I'm bothered about the plurality of platforms because one of the things I hate personally as a content creator having to use Lots of different platforms.
	I liked only using one or two, especially if they function in a different way as well, because then you tailor your posts to be effective on those platforms, to work well on those platforms.
	And so it's a lot of hassle having to like, oh, here's a fifth or sixth or seventh.
	And also it dilutes the spreading power of a message as well.
	It would be better to have things more concentrated.
	But what were you going to say?
	So there's two things.
	In response to the Sleeping Giants thing, I think it actually is right to turn it around and be like, no, this is a positive for us.
	We don't have to deal with your nonsense anymore.
	You guys will stew in your crap and become worse.
	You'll become an even funnier object of amusement.
	But also it'd be an absolutely great way for anti-progressive forces to organize and contact each other if we have a singular place we can go like that.
	And I agree with your point.
	I'm sure people who make Gab and Parler and whatnot will be upset for me for saying this, but I do kind of hate the fact that there's the main, let's call it, and then the alt, except it's not the alt, it's the alts.
	There's a million alternative platforms and there needs to just be one alternative.
	I kind of wish they'd all get together and form one platform.
	It's not going to happen, but, I mean, Trump would be the figure to make that happen.
	Yeah.
	If anyone could.
	Some kind of unifying ability would be good.
	But I do have a lot of sympathy for minds, because, like Bill, he's trying to be the guy where he sees that the, let's say, Trumpist alt-platforms gab are all very partisan right, and Twitter and YouTube and whatnot are all partisan left.
	He's trying to make something central.
	I wish them the best, but I don't know if that's where the future of the internet lies.
	It's really frustrating, because after Parler got deplatformed, the engagement on that platform just shrank.
	I used to get mad engagement on Parler, and now it's just died.
	It's sad.
	I'm really gutted about it.
	Gab seems to be the last alt-platform...
	Going where I get good engagement in the same sort of scale that I used to and before the deplatforming has occurred.
	So Gab seems to be at least capable of retaining an audience.
	And it functions really, really well at the moment.
	It's a really functional replacement for Twitter.
	You can trust the people in charge.
	That's ultimately it.
	We can't trust YouTube for a second to even like us.
	No, no, that's true.
	But it's not just that.
	Like, functionally, Gab is a really good functional Twitter replacement.
	So even if, like, it doesn't matter who would be running it, you know, in technical ways, it works really well.
	Whereas Parler is limping.
	You know, it's slow, and there are the occasional sort of, like, fail to refresh and things like this that Gab doesn't have, and it's just like, right, okay.
	You know.
	I was thinking in my mind, like, why doesn't he just buy Parler, then?
	Good question.
	Because I know it was the board of directors and the whole mess there.
	Why doesn't he just turn around and be like, right, I'll buy it all.
	And then, done.
	Like, that would be his thing.
	Don't know.
	But hopefully...
	See what it's like, I guess.
	Yeah, Trump media will be good.
	But anyway, do we have a video comment?
	Hello Lotus Eaters, long time fan, first time caller.
	No video for this one, camera's not working.
	Anyway, after watching Carl terrorize the Lotus Eaters group, I began to realize, does corruption only exist to protect you from an internal threat?
	Therefore, you need to expand through authoritarian means, much like the left does, in order to make sure your vision of the future, as in not having bread, will be safe from any external threat who wishes to actually eat bread.
	I'm not quite sure I understand.
	No, can we play that again?
	Hello Lotus Eaters, long time fan, first time caller.
	No video for this one, camera's not working.
	Anyway, after watching Carl terrorize the Lotus Eaters group, I began to realize, does corruption only exist to protect you from an internal threat?
	Therefore, you need to expand through authoritarian means, much like the left does, in order to make sure your vision of the future, as in not having bread, will be safe from any external threat it wishes to actually eat bread.
	I don't think corruption is the motivating factor there.
	I think corruption might be the thing that provides the impulse towards expansion.
	So you're constantly keeping ahead of it, maybe.
	But I'm gonna go for a no on that one.
	I don't really understand it, so I'm not gonna say anything.
	Sorry.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Hey, guys.
	I would like to propose that the symbol of dadism be a rooster.
	A giant, fat, arrogant rooster.
	Not least of which, because ladies love the rooster.
	How can you argue with that proposal?
	You're the prophet of dadism, you decide.
	Just saying, I don't invent, I divine these things from the ether.
	These are not my creations.
	They emerge.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They holistically emerge.
	So yeah, I can't possibly say, but as a very good question, and a very good point, ladies do love the rooster.
	Would it be a black or a white rooster?
	Don't think it matters.
	All right.
	Make it multicolored.
	Make it a rainbow rooster if you want.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Good afternoon, Lotus Caesars.
	Papa Marns took a bit of a tumble over the weekend while climbing into my private jet.
	Stumbled up some stairs.
	But I'll be alright.
	My question for today is at what point has a world leader become incapable of Wow.
	Unfortunately, I don't think there is a line.
	I think, unfortunately, it's you get who's voted into office.
	And I don't think we can actually put many caveats on that at all.
	I mean, the founders did try this.
	So there's a mechanism for that, but I think it's decided by the Vice President and the Cabinet to decide whether or not they believe that the Commander-in-Chief is unable to perform his duties or whatever.
	Yes.
	But we, the public, on the outside of that, have got no mechanism for that.
	So if we decided to...
	On an opinion basis, let's say you were the Vice President.
	I mean, would you be bringing that article of impeachment, let's say, against Joe Biden?
	No, no, of course not.
	If I were Kamala Harris, I think that Joe Biden is actually probably the perfect president for us to have, because there's no way he's going to interfere in anything I wanted to do.
	Like, I'll put something in front of him.
	Joe, sign this.
	Make this your campaign.
	I'll be like, oh, okay, then.
	Plus, he can literally, for lack of a better term, be the fall guy.
	Yeah.
	Literally, yeah.
	But that's exactly it.
	You know, everything bad that's done is going to be done in Joe Biden's name, and you're going to get everything that you want, because Joe Biden just has no...
	It's a suit.
	Yeah, he's just an empty suit.
	So Joe Biden, for the left, is pretty much the perfect guy to enact their progressive agenda, which he's doing.
	So, yeah.
	I don't think that we're going to get rid of him at all.
	But really, this just happens to be because Joe Biden's the most popular man who's ever lived.
	People overwhelmingly voted for him.
	Because he didn't cheat.
	At all.
	Jonathan Crowe says...
	Well, I mean...
	Inquisitor from the Conservative Party.
	Henry Ashman.
	What they should be asking Sakia is whether he's lost control of his party or whether he's signed off on the Labour attack dogs and the momentum smashing up Bristol.
	Did he ever have it?
	Well, no, that's a great, great question from Henry Ashman.
	That's how the Conservatives should be attacking this.
	Did you lose control of your attack dogs?
	Do you ever have control of your attack dogs?
	It's a great attack, I know.
	Yeah, but that implies that he did and that they were his.
	And if he says, no, I still have control of them, then they are your attack dogs.
	Or if he goes, no, they were never mind.
	It's like, so you're not in control of your party.
	A bunch of communists are in control of it.
	So it puts him in a really unwinnable position.
	That's a really great question, Henry.
	Charlie Rogers says, Stelling job as always, guys.
	Thank you very much.
	Follow me on this logic path and see if you can spot where I'm being incongruent here.
	Police catch nonces.
	By wasting police resources and destroying police equipment, police have less available.
	With less police equipment and less resources available, it's easy to get up with crime.
	Antifa are therefore nonce enablers.
	Yeah?
	I can't find you there.
	The specific department, I remember from the police interview, said there's nine vehicles that he mentioned that are now inoperable.
	Two of them burned, the rest of them just inoperable.
	That was from the vulnerable persons unit as well.
	Yeah.
	So, hmm...
	I mean, we don't actually need a great deal of logic to establish the Antifar nonce enablers, given how so many people in Antifar appear to be nonces themselves.
	You fire off a gun in an Antifar car and you'll hit a nonce.
	Which is literally the Kyle Rittenhouse test.
	How do you know that Antifar are full of nonces?
	Well, if you shoot one, it turns out he's a nonce.
	So, yeah, and then you've got all of the Antifar sympathisers who are advocating for lowering the age of consent and things like this.
	It's like, yeah, it seems to be a movement full of nonces.
	Don't know what to tell you.
	Well, they all think children have as much agency as adults.
	They do.
	It's like, well, okay, then you're a nonce.
	Thanks, nonce.
	Get in the woodchipper.
	Yep.
	Woodchipper pride worldwide.
	Student of History says, commies can't just say violence is bad because you don't bite the hand that feeds.
	Good point.
	So when does the right start playing hardball instead of pussyfooting and being nice beyond all belief?
	Also, Callum's laugh, yes, at the expense of St.
	Thunberg is a national treasure.
	Well, the problem is, if the right starts agreeing with what the left wants, which is violence, then the left wins.
	And I don't think we should just give them a win.
	So I don't think we should be encouraging violence at all.
	A, because I don't think it's a good idea anyway.
	I want a civil society, and I would like the police to go out with their truncheons and deal with them for me.
	That's the point of a civil society.
	I shouldn't have to get violent.
	That's what the cops are for.
	If people are smashing stuff up, then go and deal with them.
	Like, we shouldn't have to form, like, right-wing squads to defend, you know, civilian...
	Yeah, to defend our homes.
	You know, that's the point of a civil society.
	Like, why are we fighting for a government if that's what you need to do there?
	Yeah.
	It's like, no, we'll just make the police do their job instead.
	Exactly.
	Which they used to do.
	I mean, someone sent us yesterday, what was it?
	It was a 1970-something link of the constabulary.
	Oh, that's so good.
	It was a communist march in London.
	And they just, like, what did they do?
	They go over a...
	Yeah, no, they're not allowed past this bush.
	And so whenever the commies went across the bush, the police would literally go in there, club them, launch them back over the bush!
	But it was just like, you know, 10 of them got over the bush.
	You see they did it deliberately.
	And it was just like 100 cops went, right.
	And they just ran over and just threw them all back and started punching them.
	It was just like...
	Glorious.
	Okay, well, that's a police force enacting, you know, its limits that it's set.
	Yeah.
	But our police force isn't able of doing that.
	In which case, this sucks.
	And not one police van was set on fire.
	Yeah, we need to go back to the 70s there.
	Return to the constabulary.
	Hunter says...
	Reject modernity.
	Reject modernity, embrace tradition, yeah.
	Clubbing communists and throwing them into bushes.
	It's great to see.
	I'm at the point where I think the Democrats slash Labour should try to go as far as possible.
	I think the only way to get strong conservatives is as a response to ideas coming out of the squad, if Corbyn won.
	Yeah, there's a part of me that wants to see them win, to be honest, to see how bad they'll make it, so people get the red pill as a suppository.
	You know, it's like, no, look, if you don't take it willingly, we're just going to shove it, because you have to understand what these people are like.
	Orson Welles says, Leftists celebrating civil unrest is nothing new.
	Guardian journalists who participated in the poll tax riots were still publicly gloating about it a quarter of a second later.
	They never learn.
	That's true.
	Edward of Woodstock.
	Oh no, a simple question that I can't answer truthfully without looking like a total psychopath.
	Quick, break the circle talk glass.
	Yes.
	Sadly, a lot of people my age buy into this nonsense.
	They go for hook, line, and sinker because the universities went to are rife with this sort of thing.
	Yeah, as Team Vogue was telling us earlier, Karl Marx is the most recommended economist.
	It's not just universities, though.
	It's all state-funded media, it's all left-wing outlets, all the rest of it.
	I find it, this is the thing, I find it kind of hard to endlessly whine about the people who believe this, because it's not their fault.
	That's the thing.
	The average people, not the hard-on revolutionaries, but the average people who fought for this stuff, it's not their fault.
	They've just been bombarding with this crap from so many socialists.
	I find it hard to blame them at all, but we've got to counter that.
	Yeah.
	Mr.
	Winter says, funnily enough, I was recommended an old video of Boris Johnson calling some mouthy activists lefty tossers.
	Yeah, this is great.
	It's from 2013, where I think he's in Bristol, actually.
	And he's just mocking and going, now isn't the time for division among the anarcho-syndicalist fringe or something like that.
	And it's like, well, Boris, they kind of seem to have metastasized into something, haven't they?
	Maybe it's the time to take them seriously.
	I love the idea that Boris Johnson is the one who fixed the divisions and now it's come home to roost.
	Adam Carley says, Give the left an inch and they'll take a mile.
	Have you noticed that if you watch British television, nearly all the adverts show mixed race or BAME family?
	I don't watch British television and neither should you.
	It wouldn't bother me if it wasn't 90% of adverts.
	I kind of feel that it misrepresents the majority of families in Britain.
	What are your thoughts?
	Well, I mean, statistically...
	It misrepresents the majority of families of Britain, obviously.
	I had a family member who sent me an image from their work, and it was just like a government pamphlet of some crap.
	And the government pamphlet just had images of all these people, and just like 99% of them were BAME. And it's just like, why?
	Why is this like this?
	Is this representation, is it?
	We just want representation.
	Well, all of it...
	They weren't wrong when they sent me this.
	They were just like, well, come on.
	This is purposely done.
	There was no way the cameraman was just hiring actors and actresses.
	I mean, they're in London, aren't they?
	So if they put out a casting call, we need models to appear in our pamphlets.
	I mean, maybe you do get that kind of sample.
	But if it was all white, then it would be a problem.
	And then we'd have to argue for representation.
	Well, sure.
	But again, if we're talking about representation, then maybe we should demand that it is exactly as the country is aligned.
	Which means...
	You've got a couple on TV. 66% of them needs to be white.
	Sorry, Hamza.
	You know, like, you wanted representation.
	Okay, we'll have everything represented as accurately as it can be.
	Well, no, we'll see about the next census, won't we?
	No, that's actually an idea, because then every single actor for any advert would have to be mixed race for this to work.
	They would have to be mixed raced among, like, six races at least per person.
	Well, no, I mean, you've got, like, five people on a TV show or something, you know, they have to be divvied up according to the racial divides.
	Each according to his race.
	What a wonderful world.
	Yeah, thanks, leftists.
	Kekistani Freedom Fight says, I wish the Marxists just left the evil country they were born into.
	If you hate its foundations, its history, and its present situation, why stay there?
	Because they get paid free money by the government, probably.
	And shouldn't you be warning legal and illegal immigrants, especially non-whites, from making the journey here?
	Yeah, I always find that interesting.
	It's like, ah, America is a white supremacist country.
	Also, we want mass immigration into the white supremacist country.
	I love oppression.
	Aren't you just offering oppression to these people of colour?
	We have concentration camps and we need more people in them, says AOC. Yeah, exactly.
	Not only do they refuse to leave this diabolical country, but they actively campaign for limitless immigration into it.
	Yeah, they basically want Dubai, isn't it?
	Or one of the other Arab states.
	Kuwait's the funniest.
	Kuwait, right.
	So Kuwait is now, I think the last census they did, I think it was like 60% or something, of the people that are not Kuwaiti citizens.
	So it was overwhelmingly just slaves.
	Yeah.
	So...
	Ignacio says, I have a message for every Western big city politician.
	Control your leftists.
	Every riot that's allowed to happen and not stamped out in the people jailed, you are getting one step closer to a scared or angry police officer slash politician ordering to deploy lethal force.
	This is the same with terrorism because they do this because they smell weakness and they think they will get away with it.
	That's correct.
	They do this because they think they'll get away with it, which is why anyone commits any crime.
	They think they'll get away with it.
	Which is why you need the Chad Constabulary.
	Beat them a pulp and show the other leftists, look at this, this is you, if you do that.
	Into the bush.
	George Happ, what do you think of the get woke, go broke maxim?
	In my view, it's too reductive and optimistic, but looking at the T-Vogue situation, it seems like the SJW virus inevitably causes internal struggle in a circular firing squad.
	Yeah, I mean, that's the plus side of it.
	The virus will hurt a company bottom's line, but it depends how much of the virus they've gotten.
	So companies like EA can take a quite substantial amount of SJW virus and get away from it and not be harmed too much.
	But some companies that just fully embrace it and get fully infected, it's over.
	Yeah, well, I think what you really want to do, right, is identify within any particular company the woke, right?
	Find their Twitter accounts, figure out who the woke ones are, and then find who their non-woke contemporaries are, and then go through their non-woke contemporaries' Twitter feed and show them all of the anti-woke posts they've put, all of the offensive things.
	So they will then be like, oh, I can't believe that Jeff, the software engineer, said this on Twitter, and then that will cause the trouble.
	And then the company will just shoot itself.
	And the virus will get worse and worse.
	Although the better thing to do if you do run a company is just...
	Don't hire these people.
	Just get rid of the virus.
	Yeah, obviously.
	We need to come up with a Boris-style slogan.
	Vaccinate your company.
	Stay safe.
	Execute the virus.
	Wait, that's a bit wrong.
	Fire wokists.
	That's my opinion.
	Wash your hands.
	E2Bs says...
	McCammond was, also is, associated with a Biden staffer in a relationship who was outed as being a grade A douche.
	Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
	They were connected to Biden.
	Communists at Team Vogue aside, it's assumed that they made us think about her because of her association and defense of him.
	It puts her on the cancelling radar, but she's an idiot as well.
	Who knows?
	John Linder says, I've seen recent articles from mainstream outlets that go into detail about a murder or a rape, but showing an edgy tweet from a teenager?
	Nah, that's just too far.
	Natalie says, Yeah, that's true, and that's what a sensible person would say in regards to operating a sensible society.
	But I think we've crossed that Rubicon a long ago.
	Rose says, being that Alexi McCammon is a person of colour, I wonder why that fact didn't protect her from people searching for damning tweets.
	Well, there's an easy answer there.
	Those people are people of colour as well.
	If you can't point to a white person and say, white person bad, then it doesn't work.
	Why didn't they just assume she can't be racist?
	Can't keep up with the logic of the left?
	Or illogic of the left?
	Well, that's the point, isn't it?
	Tim Murray says, I can see the CNN chyrons now.
	Fiery but mostly peaceful parties.
	That's unironically what they must have had.
	Henry Ashman, is this party the Florida Man Hunger Games or something?
	Last man and woman standing get to become Florida Man and Florida Woman for the next four years.
	Beating someone over the head with a gator is an automatic win, I believe.
	May the odds be ever in your favor, I guess.
	Pirate Skeleton, in defense of the Miami police, I was working at the South Padre Island during several spring breaks, and it's nuts.
	There are regular fights, orgies, brackets, rape, and lots of drugs.
	Jesus Christ.
	It sounds like several youths that will die due to falling while attempting to jump between balconies.
	Jesus!
	College students and gangs converge since the drug dealers want the business and the gang bangers want to take advantage of the situation.
	Guys, I'm a big fan, but you're making arses out of yourselves on the Miami Spring break piece.
	Well, I think we're also talking about the media.
	It's basically a bunch of piss students that have been locked down for a year and have travelled to Florida to party in the American sense of the word.
	It's not families and children.
	That was the joke.
	We knew it wasn't families and children.
	I think you might have commented that before we got to the end of the joke.
	Right, okay.
	Yeah, that was the joke.
	The media's portrayal of it was as if there was nothing particularly untowards going on and the police were being aggressive racists.
	I've got a proposed slogan, disband HR, control the wokeness, save money.
	I like disband HR. I'm going to make some infographics later.
	Yes.
	Michael Waters.
	The commies can't even run a beach-based race riot properly.
	Google crannular race riots.
	How Aussies riot.
	Okay.
	Joseph Smith.
	Mostly peaceful party.
	No, what happened here is that the media has literally turned the phrase mostly peaceful into a wink-wink, nod-nod for massive uncontrolled violence.
	Yeah, I didn't realize how persuasive we came across.
	We were being ironic.
	We know the media was lying, and we know that it wasn't families.
	It was a joke.
	Michael Waters, ooh, bad idea to take the party to the suburbs.
	Miami suburbs are going to be filled with retired vets.
	Shit's going to get real shooty real quick when you wake Grandpa up in the middle of the night jumping on Gran's car.
	Well, yeah, I mean, you know, that's their problem.
	Zenchan says, was Sam Jackson from Kingsman in Miami last night testing out his super weapon?
	It genuinely looks like the end of that movie where people are just driven to ridiculous acts of violence.
	It's absurd.
	I just can't get over it.
	Sorry, just joking about the HR thing.
	Like, my pronouns are H and R. Gordon says, Carl, have you managed to watch the Sky TV series of Brave New World?
	They managed to woke that up and it's very alien to the book.
	No, I have not watched it.
	It did not exist.
	No, it didn't exist either.
	I was actually looking for a video version of the book because I was saying this would make a good movie.
	Is that one?
	If it was done well, yeah, it would make a good movie.
	But if it's done woke and they missed the point of it, then...
	Yeah, but we're good to have a laugh at.
	Right, it could be, yeah.
	We'll have The Brave New World, the premium podcast of the ethical knowledge, going up...
	We're recording it after this.
	We're recording it after this, so it'll be going up probably the next day or two.
	And then next week, I imagine, we'll do The Brave New World.
	The book review.
	The book club itself.
	That series is done.
	Then that series is done.
	There's been a lot of work.
	I'm really proud of it.
	Hopefully it's a good trilogy.
	Hopefully, yeah.
	I'm telling you, it'll be the best analysis of Brave New World you'll get anywhere.
	Charlie says, Hey Carl, I heard this quote and I was wondering what you thought of it.
	There's a huge gap between military life and civilian life that every soldier has known since Homer first told a story about man's impossibly long journey to come home from war.
	Made me think of the Odyssey in a new light.
	That sounds like something Heinlein would have written.
	And yes, I think that's probably true.
	I mean, I personally have never been on a military campaign, but I've read a lot about a lot of military campaigns, and it's definitely not the same as civilian life.
	Very, very different.
	Not as many riots apiece.
	That oil guy says, Inadvertently red-pilled a friend over the weekend.
	She was proposing a law that required we should punish men that could be proven to have witnessed violence against women and have not come forward, as they are essentially complicit in any future crimes the perpetrator commits.
	I said, so you want to punish a man for failing to report a rape they witnessed, but not the girl who got raped and failed to report it.
	You can almost see the short circuit in real time.
	Ooh, that's good.
	Yeah, that's something I'm disavowing as well, just in case.
	I'm just thinking in my head, like, BBC's in real trouble.
	Shit, Jesus Christ.
	Covering up all the saddle rapes, man.
	If not reporting it, if just knowing about it.
	There's a story I'm going to tell, which I'm not going to reveal the guy who told me it.
	So there was this guy who is at a party with someone who's an extended member of his family, and they're talking about the fact that Jimmy Savile or whatever, and he made some comments.
	And then she turned around and said, look, we all knew what was going on, but you can't talk like that because of such and such reasons.
	And he turned around and went, wait, so you knew what was going on?
	She was like, yeah, of course we did.
	Everyone knew what was going on.
	So why didn't you come forward?
	Good question.
	Rachel says, That's a good observation.
	I would argue it is the only way that they can keep power because their historically failed policies are coming home to roost, and the voters could see this if not for the left's efforts.
	To their benefit, it seems the right has steadily been separating culture and politics.
	Entertainment, social media, mainstream media, academia, and the sciences are pushing the left's agenda described as truth.
	How do we fight the Marxist everything as political tactic and discuss issues appropriately when they have been so successfully played this game?
	Do you think this is why the left in Europe is importing American leftist tactics?
	Honestly, I think that when one...
	So, for something to not be political, both sides have to agree that a thing is not political, and it only takes one side to politicize something.
	So, if the left are like, well, everything's political, then unfortunately the right have to turn around and say, yeah, you're right, it is political.
	If you've made it political, that's right.
	And so this is...
	Yeah, this is why it's like, okay, well then, what's the right wing's view, you know?
	And I think that we should be promoting a kind of virtue ethics view of what is good in the culture, and we should express the pushing back on left-wing nonsense everywhere we find it.
	Gatekeep is what I'm saying.
	When you're enjoying a hobby and a bunch of leftists come in and go, give them a representation, you tell them to leave.
	You tell them to leave.
	They are not welcome.
	Those people in particular are not welcome, and you want them to leave.
	And if everyone does that, they will leave.
	That's the thing as well.
	If you have to separate and you have like based hobby versus SJW or hobby group, the SJW hobby group is going to suck.
	Yeah, it does.
	Which is also one of the positives about, you know, the alternative.
	So Trump's setting up an alternative social media.
	Well, it'll look like a golden hill on a city just by being normal.
	Yeah.
	I mean, so I'm in a bunch of Warhammer Facebook groups.
	There was a Warhammer 40k for feminists.
	There was the normal Warhammer 40k.
	And then there was Warhammer 40k for straight white males.
	And guess which group was the only one that was interesting?
	Straight white male.
	Do you know why?
	Because there's people having fun.
	Yeah, they weren't talking about being straight white on mail.
	They were talking about Warhammer 40,000.
	They'd be like, hey guys, look at this amazing figure I've painted.
	And it's like, yeah, but that's not going to do with you being straight white on mail.
	I get it.
	Now I see why this exists, you know?
	And it happens to have been a really fun group.
	And people post really amazing things in there.
	And it's like, right, okay, now you see why gatekeeping is necessary.
	Because the other group just became woke trash.
	And it's like...
	There we go.
	Luca says, if I commit a crime, can I sexually identify as innocent to avoid prosecution?
	Inevitably.
	Hi, Callum Callum, says Callum.
	Is there any potential in the future for you doing any content relating to the Reformation and its relevance to the Enlightenment?
	Thank you, love the work.
	Well, yes, because we're expanding and hopefully Bodade will be, in the next few months, be able to join us on a permanent, full-time basis, which means we will have lots of very nourishing history content for you.
	I'm personally really looking forward to it.
	And so, yes, in the near future, we're going to have a lot more extra content from more content creators.
	Thank you for signing up, by the way.
	Hey, Carl and Callum, have you heard about the apparent lockdown, fourth lockdown, soon to come with the apparent third waves of the Chinese flu?
	From our outstanding Prime Minister, Boris.
	Even though we haven't left the last one yet, I doubt anyone will, or very few will, listen to the rules at this point.
	Yeah, what do you think about it?
	Just ignore it.
	Does Boris even rule the country if we all agree he doesn't?
	Yeah.
	I mean, I was reading Robert Conquest talking about exactly this when you had an English king who was tyrannical.
	Yeah.
	People just ignored it.
	And then the king had no power.
	It was that simple.
	Good point.
	So, I mean, that's the English tradition.
	Yeah.
	Not just, sorry, didn't hear you.
	You're in lockdown.
	It's illegal to go for walks.
	Don't care.
	Bye-bye.
	Yeah, I mean, literally, if everyone's just like, nah.
	Nah, this is over.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Ben Cronin says, following on from the concept of no taxation without representation and how to crush the scourge of communism, what are your thoughts on the following?
	No representation without taxation?
	Well, I mean, yes.
	I'm all for us accepting that universal suffrage was actually a mistake.
	I think that people who are getting gibs shouldn't be voting for more gibs.
	Because Gibbs is an unsustainable business, governmental model, right?
	If we have Gibbs as a sort of necessary evil...
	Why can't I just vote to give myself money?
	Which they are, which is exactly what Biden was literally running on, give.
	And Benjamin Franklin had a great quote, you know, Republic will last until people realize they can vote themselves money.
	And it's like, okay, well, they've realized it.
	And now that's the Democratic Party policy, which is we're going to give you free money.
	It's like, okay, that's bribing the electorate, isn't it?
	But the point being, it means that if you're not contributing, why should you be able to decide how the ship is steered?
	And I don't think you should.
	I mean, maybe it should be based on the amount of tax you pay or something like that, whether you get a vote or not.
	You know, I'm not against the idea at all.
	Get a job.
	All that's evident is for future stability and sustainability, the suffrage has to be reduced, not extended.
	Yeah.
	And you can always get around that by getting a job.
	He says, But yeah, and that's the thing.
	I don't disagree with that at all.
	I just don't understand why we think that people who don't contribute should get to have a chat.
	A million arguments.
	Servants guarantee citizenship.
	People arguing here, well, if you serve in the military, that should be the way to restrict your base payments.
	There seems to be an overall agreement that, yeah, no, this doesn't work, so it needs to be reduced at least somehow.
	Yeah, we've done it for 100 years, and this is where we've ended up.
	But it's why it's embarrassing that the landscape in the UK is the Conservative Party's position is, as it is, not change the suffrage at all.
	And all other opposition parties are of the opinion you should bring it down to, what is it, like 16 or 14?
	And also all non-citizens get to vote?
	Yeah.
	This is nuts.
	Hasn't that happened in Scotland now?
	Scotland and Wales have both allowed that non-citizens are allowed to vote.
	Immigrants, literally just people who get off the boat, now have to vote.
	Why?
	Why the hell should they?
	They have no ties to the land, they have no ties to the country, they have no interest in the country necessarily.
	They're not citizens, so they can't vote.
	That's the privilege of being a citizen, isn't it?
	Or was.
	It's not very inclusive of you, Carl.
	That's right, it's exclusive.
	For good reason.
	Inclusive things turn into jelly and melt away into absolute nothing.
	Exclusivity is what builds things.
	yep this is the border between my house and the outside world it's a wall i have four of them then i put a roof on and it's exclusive it keeps up the entire world exactly it's exclusive to me it's the opposite of inclusivity i don't have the entire town living in my house exactly good reason and my house is very nice thank you very much and i'm sure you'll do the same with your house and we'll all do that with each of our individual houses and everyone gets to live in a nice house your culture is best for you yeah exactly uh morning guys just want to thank you all for making my work morning a bit better well thank you chris we're doing our best
	uh charlie the beagle says hi guys inireland there was debate on tv between the Sorry, that happened in 1922.
	What does it need to happen again?
	Because they'll never stop, that's why.
	They'll continue and continue and continue.
	I see this as a cynical ploy by the current government.
	If they can get unity, they can pray themselves.
	The government that brought it about.
	If not, they poison the idea for Sinn Féin to get into government.
	Probably.
	Chris Wolfe.
	I saw a tabloid paper in an American grocery store with Harry the Commoner on the cover.
	It was titled, My Journey Through Hell.
	Gave me a good chuckle.
	Every person who mentioned the drama to me has no idea what's going on.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	He said Harry the Commoner.
	I'll Google it.
	Yeah, okay.
	I think our favourite orange man needs to be real careful with his social media plan, as I can see the left using anyone who has banned...
	It's Prince Harry.
	Oh!
	Oh!
	Oh, that's great.
	Right.
	Right, okay, well that, yeah, that actually makes more sense.
	Ryan Redacted says, I think our favourite orange man needs to be real careful with his social media plan, as I can see the left using anyone who is banned, no matter whether it's justified or not, to smear his images hypocritical.
	I hope it's a quality social media site, though.
	Oh yeah, me too.
	A black and orange rooster, super straight colours, says Annie K. Good point.
	If we're going to have a rooster, he's got to be black and orange, really, isn't he?
	Hold up the side of the team.
	You know what I think?
	I have no comment on your rooster.
	Anyway, thanks so much for joining us, folks.
