Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seeders for the 10th of May 2021.
Today I'm joined by Josh.
Hello.
And we're going to be talking about the fallout from the Labour defeat that happened on Friday and the weekend, which is glorious.
They're breaking down fully.
The Black Hammer Commune, which, good God, this is going to be funny to get into.
It's great.
I'm really looking forward to talking about it.
Yeah.
And also the continued retreat of free speech around the world, particularly in the US and the UK. But we'll get into that.
First thing I wanted to talk about was the academic agent course here.
So I'll let you plug this one actually because you're responsible for creating this.
So this is academic agent gave us access to his economics course.
Yeah, so me and Hugo did his like 10 lecture course.
It was really good and we did a little review and we put it up on the website and on YouTube.
And we basically talk about what we liked about the course, what we didn't like, and we also give a code which will give you a discount if you wish to take the course yourself.
Yeah, so this is that.
Go and check it out.
It should be at, what is it, 3 o'clock that's going live?
Yeah, 3pm.
On YouTube and the website.
Just go and give that a check out.
The other thing I want to plug, we don't know when it will be up, probably by the end of the day or tomorrow, hopefully, which is the Voice of Wales interview, which I completely forgot to upload because I'm a moron.
So when we were down doing the March for Freedom, me and John filming that, we ran into Voice of Wales, who were just down there at the same time, and we managed to get an interview with them.
So we're going to put that up on the website.
I completely forgot about it because I put it in the wrong goddamn folder and then...
But it will be up, so we will see that up there.
So go and check out lotusleaders.com for the academic agent economics course review and also that interview when we have it.
So let's get right into it.
So the breakdown from the Labour defeat.
So we covered with Carl yesterday.
Carl came in, especially from his holiday, just to laugh at Labour because, God, it was good and well-deserved from the Labour Party, getting absolutely slaughtered.
So I just want to go through the full results that we have now, because all of it's now been counted, and also the breakdown within the party of everyone shooting each other in the head.
So let's go for this first one here.
So if you scroll through, we're just going to go through, because The Guardian, weirdly enough, was the only outlet I saw that had the best demonstration of the results here.
It's the first one, the Scottish Parliament.
As you can see there, the SNP were hoping to get a majority, and then they could force a referendum.
They failed.
They were one seat short of getting at.
They managed to gain one seat, so they made gains, but they're still not at a majority for the Scottish Parliament, so they're going to go into coalition with the Greens.
Yeah, I think it's not as bad as it necessarily seems for them, in that the Greens are just going to do whatever they tell them to, really.
And the Greens are pro-independence as well, so it means there is a majority for independence, isn't there, in Scotland.
I mean, if not them, then Labour and Lib Dems, because they're all the damn same, let's be honest.
It's all the same politics, except from the referendum part of it.
And the interesting part there, I mean, for me, I don't really...
I've come around to Carl's view that there's actually some benefit to be had in England from all this.
If the SNP do go and get the majority in a future time, or they win a referendum and get Scottish independence, that's the death of the Labour Party, boys!
Because they literally can't get the seats back, so...
It's not like they're doing very well at the minute.
I'd rather not let Scotland go and become its own country because it is going to sink if it becomes independent.
But the threat you have is if Labour win big in England, they could make a union with the SNP in government.
And then that's a threat.
So, I mean, if they do go independent, at least conservatism in England will be saved.
Things would really have to change, though, considering these recent elections for Labour to get anywhere near government.
Yeah, but I mean, it's up to the Scottish people.
If you keep voting for SMP, you're going to get them.
So the next thing here was just the London Mayor.
So as you can see, Sidi Khan won that pretty easily, as was expected in London.
Although I must say, it was a surprise to see Sean Bailey get pretty close there.
I mean, most people were expecting him to be down in like the 30s.
He did really well.
Absolutely fail, but no, he did all right.
I think he got thrown under the bus a little bit by the Conservative Party because he was just kind of the sacrificial candidate.
And they're just like, well, we're not going to win, but let's just put up Sean Bailey.
And I think he was a little bit bitter about it because if they'd actually had the full way to the party behind him, he could have actually won that.
So although Sadiq Khan has won, it's not really very resounding support because he was going to win easily and it's less easy than before this time.
But CCHQ had sort of like cut him off and we're just like, eh, whatever, he's going to lose anyway.
But good God, it was actually closer than most people thought it would be.
The other thing there was just the London Assembly.
So not much change here except the Labour Party lost seat.
Conservatives game one, Greens game one, WDEMs game one.
So, I mean, basically the same.
But I mean, this is London.
It seems to be in a stagnant place at the moment.
So the next thing on the section here is the Welsh Assembly.
So Labour Party getting enough seats there to almost form a majority, so they'll do a coalition with one of the other progressive skin suits, you know, like Plaid or Lib Dems or something, and do that, I guess.
In which case, that's a shame to see, but okay, whatever.
It's nice to see the Conservatives gain some seats there, but it is at the cost of UKIP, who lost all their seats there, which is kind of sad, because, I mean, UKIP were interesting, though.
So we'll go for the next section here, which is the Hartlepool by-election, which we now have the result.
We've had the results, but as mentioned before.
Conservatives, washout, Labour, destroyed.
All's well in the world.
That's how things should be.
So let's go for the next one.
That's such an amazing percentage as well.
51.9%.
Yeah, in a seat that's been Labour for God knows how long.
I think the seat was created in 1974, and it's been Labour up until this point.
But even before then, so going back to 1945 when it was a different seat but in the same area, was Labour as well.
So, I mean, you've got 80-odd years or whatever it is.
It's good to see.
Yeah, you'd love to see it.
But this one, this one you'd really love to see.
So this is the local elections.
This was the big thing of the night, let's say, in which you got to see all the different councils because this is where you can see a broad swate of the...
And you can see the Conservatives absolutely stomping it.
Labour dying, good.
That's the thing I'm interested in.
Again, we'll have conversations about the Tories at another time, but Labour, death, that's good to see.
Greens getting things, which, okay, watermelons.
I think it's the left of the Labour Party fleeing them because of Keir Starmer, right?
It's got to be.
That's the only real explanation.
In which case, as long as it kills the Labour Party, I'm not happy.
And then the last thing being the London Merrill ships, which are basically all the same, so there's not really much point in talking about them.
But it was nice to see people running there.
And I want to congratulate everyone who ran.
I mean, we spoke to Nick Buckley, who was running with Reform UK, Richard Tice, Reform UK in London.
And the various other actual oppositions, Heritage Party, so on and so forth, of people who ran.
Because I mean, I know people will think, oh, they got a few percent, so what do they matter?
Politics isn't some public service.
They don't get anything out of it.
You spend money to run.
And people actually going out there and standing in elections is good to see that they go out and fight like that.
I mean, they're braver than me.
I haven't done it.
Thank you for your service, I guess.
You've got to respect people who go out of their way to actually put themselves out there, especially behind one of the parties that isn't necessarily as established as the main two.
Yeah, they're not guaranteed a paycheck.
Exactly.
In fact, they're usually guaranteed to lose money, but they're doing it because they believe in it.
So thank you to everyone who ran, who's actually trying to destroy the Labour Party, and that's...
Good to see.
So, next thing here is the SMP's response after getting, what was it, one seat, so not what they wanted.
But here, Hamza Yusuf, the well-known racist who wants to listen in to every conversation you have in your house and then charge you with a crime every time you violate the verbal morality statute, decided to make a response here in which he says, please do correct me if I'm wrong, but my count, we have gone from two BAME MSPs in 2016 to six.
Progress!
Progress!
Though Lib Dem and Greens are the only parties never to have BAME MSPs elected.
And he lists some BAME MSPs.
BAME just meaning has brown skin.
Hamza Yusuf, incredibly happy that people have brown skin in the parliament, because that's what matters.
Aren't you meant to stop using that now?
Wasn't it the government's policy to stop using the BAME acronym?
Yeah, you meant to use, what is it, Yuckamagamur?
You what?
We went through this, the Guardian read it, so it was...
I've heard you mentioning it, but...
Yeah, so BAME, Black Asian Minority Ethnic.
Come on, it's a bit racist.
So we use U-K-M-E, Minority Ethnic, slash G-M-H, Global Minority Heritage.
So it comes out as Yukma-Gamur, which has far more capacity.
That's a mouthful.
Yeah, but it's far more humane than BAME. BAME is dehumanizing, but Yooka Montgomery sounds like humans.
But yeah, it's just a well-known racist, Hamza Yusuf being a racist.
So we're going to the next one here, which is the result, which is that Keir Starmer decided to fire the Corbynites, Angela Rayner, which is his deputy leader.
He can't fire her from deputy leader because it's an elected position, but he got rid of her as party chair because he wanted to show that he wanted to move on from Corbynista, socialism and all that.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like he's actually been able to do that at all, so we'll go through that in a minute.
But one of the best results I saw in response to this was a Labour councillor who lost his seat and did the mature and responsible thing of blaming the voters.
So, the voters have let us down, so says Labour councillor after losing his seat.
It's literally the Simpsons meme.
Am I the one out of touch?
No, it's the voters who were wrong.
That's exactly what I thought of as well.
Great.
Anyway, so the infighting immediately started around Keir Starmer.
So if we go to the next one here, this is just someone pointing out Keir Starmer's version of events.
So one Starmer ally offers this version of events of the Corbynista Angela Rayner being sacked.
She is not being sacked.
She is being used differently in the team because of her working class appeal.
What?
I mean, it doesn't go down well.
Stresses Reyna is deputy leader and will get a new shadow cabinet role.
She's not being sacked from the team.
We're not firing her, but she's losing her job.
Differently employed, I guess.
I mean, that's just the way they're wording there because of a working class appeal.
I mean, again, like pure identity politics.
Not she's good at this, she's bad at it.
There's also the fingerprints of party political spin all over that as well, in that working class appeal, they're kind of giving away their game a little bit, aren't they?
We're a bunch of metropolitan elites, but we want to appear to be middle class.
Middle class?
Working class.
After we all lost the working class vote.
Yeah, it's ridiculous, really.
It's embarrassing.
So the response here from the leftists who were upset that Angela Rayner was losing her position.
So Owen Jones, of course, Corbynista, socialist.
So he decided to take the quote here.
She's being used differently in the team because of a working class appeal.
There are no words to describe how awful these people are.
I agree with Owen Jones there, but that includes you, mate.
I never thought I'd say I'd agree with him, but he's right.
But he's right for the wrong reasons, let's say, because he sees it as like, how dare they treat her like this?
But no, this is your ideology.
This is entirely how things work with you guys.
It is the group identity that is primary.
So let's go to the next one here, in which he continued to whine.
So Keir Starmer is sacking Angela Rayner as party chair as part of his new strategy, Operation Scapegoat Working Class Women, for the abject failures of Keir Starmer.
Yeah, right.
Like, he's scapegoating her and therefore scapegoating working class women because of his failures.
I mean, again, the inability to see that this is a pattern that's been going out for multiple election cycles now.
I mean, the failure of Corbynism, you know, driving the party into the ground.
I mean, he isn't just going to bounce back because Kia's in there, although I will agree that what has Kia done?
Not a lot, really.
But yeah, obviously it's not because she's a working-class woman, it's because of her connections to Corbyn, and if he can't see that, he's got to be pretty stupid.
Yeah, I mean, also she's an absolute moron.
I don't know if you've ever seen her give speeches.
I haven't.
So I watched a Labour Party conference last time they had one, and she was giving some speech about, like, there needs to be intellectual property communism, and I was just like, oh, for God's sake.
What does that even mean?
I'll have to show you the speech after.
It's really weird.
So Marxist MacDonald also had his response, in which he said that Keir Starmer said yesterday that he took full responsibility for the election result in Hartlepool and other losses.
Instead, today he's scapegoating everyone apart from himself.
This isn't leadership, it's a cowardly avoidance of responsibility.
No, no.
Sure, he's got some to blame here because he's offered nothing to anyone.
I mean, what does Keir Starmer stand for?
Tap water?
I don't know.
But the problem here is ultimately what does Labour stink of?
And it stinks of socialists.
And it stinks of that thing because you guys were in charge.
Marxist MacDonald here was the shadow chancellor for Labour under Corbyn.
I mean, he's the guy who came out.
I'm calling him Marxist MacDonald because he literally came out and said, yes, I am a Marxist, and then wanted to run the economy.
What did you think his plan for the country was?
Anyway, so that's part of the reason there.
So also Ash Sarkar had a response, which I just thought was brilliant.
So the lesson of Bristol, so Bristol won their maorship back as Labour, is that Labour have to work to regain progressive and left-wing voters, turning around and saying, you and your values are an embarrassment, will at some point be taken personally.
I love how she's taken it personally there.
Because, yeah, you and you people are an embarrassment.
All of your values are an embarrassment.
I mean, social justice instead of individual justice.
I mean, race socialism instead of just individual liberty.
It's unbelievable how much of an embarrassment these people are.
And it's part of the reason they've lost.
I know a lot of people are saying it's because of...
Wokism.
And sure, that's a huge part, but there's a lot of other things.
It's difficult to say it's just one thing.
I don't really like explanations where they're just like, it is this.
This is the sole reason that they've lost when, in reality, lots of different people have lots of different reasons.
I'm sure that it is a part of it because it's getting forced down people's throats.
I'm sure being called racist constantly isn't something that people are willing to vote for.
They don't want to be abused.
It's like, you know what?
Actually, I like this.
I'm going to vote for you.
Please insult me more.
Yeah, no, it's not just one thing.
I will say wokeness, I think, is a large part of it, but there is a lot of problems with the Labour Party, you know, all the way down.
Wokeness is just at the front of house.
So the entire evening and the entire weekend, as everyone else enjoyed themselves, and the Labour Party consisted of this, if we can get the next one up, which is just the Labour Party shooting the Labour Party with the Labour Party, where the Labour Party shoots itself with the Labour Party.
So just infighting, endless infighting between them all, which I'm sure is great for the prospects of the next election.
And I did see that the Labour Party types, who are the Corbynistas, have declared victory.
So if you go to the next one up, this is Politics for All reporting that they declared victory in this dispute because they've been able to force Keir Starmer to not actually do any reforms.
So, Lee's election, Keir Starmer, let's reform things.
Don't think so, so says the Corbynites.
So, let's go to the next one here.
So, this is just reporting of his different people that he's moved around.
So, I just wanted to remind people that Keir Starmer was the biggest force for the People's Vote campaign within the Labour Party.
The reason the Labour Party's been so muddled on Brexit, he's the primary force.
I mean, he was the one endlessly pushing, we need a second referendum because I hate democracy.
And he's not the only one.
If you go to the next link here, so this is the reshuffle that he's doing.
So he mentions that Annalisa Dodds, who even cares who the hell she is, but she's been reshuffled.
She was in charge of the economy if a labor got in, and she presented nothing.
So he's getting rid of her, as if that matters.
But Dots herself is also a traitor.
So let's go to the next one.
This is her campaigning to rejoin the EBU after the referendum because she hates democracy.
I mean, that's the kind of thing these people have in common.
And that's what I'm going to try and get at, which is that what has he even got to choose from?
So some of the other things, he also gave this lady, Rachel Reeves, a promotion within the party.
And if you check out just Rachel Reeves' history, also a traitor.
Also someone who campaigned on the basis of F democracy, I didn't get what I wanted in the referendum, therefore overthrow the whole thing.
People's vote campaigners.
Yeah, now as well, rejoining the EU is really unpopular.
Even the people who voted in support of it respect the actual vote and the popular vote.
And the people who are going against it and asking for a second referendum or wanting to rejoin without one entirely, it's just electoral poison for them, really.
There's no way that people are going to vote for that because they just see it as, as you said, as treasonous.
But it's the point of also, like, they just lost Hartley Paul, the massive leave seat, and they're going to lose more, and hopefully lose all of them.
But what have they got to actually, you know, what people has he even got to move around?
I mean, all of them are unbelievably awful.
So if you go to the next one here, this is the other person who got a promotion, Lucy Powell, and she's most famous for promoting a hate crime bill that would make it a criminal offence to basically your private chats.
If you said anything in a private chat that was hateful, then that would also be a crime.
Oh dear.
Even though no one's seen it, except from you and your four friends who are in the private chat.
That would pretty much arrest the whole country, more or less.
Yeah, who's going to be left after that?
No one.
Yeah, I mean, these are the people he's got sitting around to try and promote.
I mean, he's not really got much room to move.
So when they say that the Corbynistas have declared victory, they've declared victory on the basis that nothing's really changed.
Well, they've lost a lot of council seats.
Yeah, but within the party, what has changed about the party in response to another crushing defeat?
Nada.
They've shuffled some people around to make it look like they've changed.
But more or less, it's the same thing, isn't it?
All the same kind of people.
So, absolutely embarrassing.
We go for the next link here.
This is just the changes in response that the Conservatives are making, which are great.
So, I'm not going to say anything about the US elections, YouTube.
I'm just talking about the UK Electoral Commissions.
So the first thing here is that Home Secretary Priti Patel is unveiling new plans to change the way mayors are elected in the UK. So there are a bunch of mayors who have unique powers in the UK because of their position.
So the way it works now is you have a preferential vote.
So you vote, you know, first choice, second choice.
This is a bit of a mess.
There's some arguments for it, some arguments against it.
And the Home Office is coming down on the side that this just takes too long and can't be bothered, I guess.
And they're going to get rid of it.
So instead, now you'll have just one vote in the same way you do for general elections.
I'm not really a big fan of first-past-the-post, so I kind of like the preferential system.
I'm kind of annoyed that they're getting rid of it.
Yeah, I mean, it's got some problems, certainly.
I find the idea that they're in response, they're just like, right, let's cross the Labour Party, no more being elected for you.
And I think it's really funny, because...
Like, I don't have a huge view on first-past-the-post or preferential voting.
Sorry, I don't really have much to say on that, but you certainly do.
I know, yeah.
There's lots of cases to be made, and I don't necessarily want to get into it now because it's a long and detailed conversation, but first-past-the-post alters things, and especially in a representative democracy, you want the votes to correspond to representation as much as possible, and quite often they don't.
But I can understand the arguments in favour of it as well.
It's one of those difficult things where you never really know which one is best.
Is there something wrong with you?
I don't know.
Just checking that.
Anyway, so the other response they've done is decide to introduce voter ID. So this is apparently coming.
The Queen's going to give a speech about voter ID being brought into the UK. So I think we might have covered this before.
I'm not actually sure.
In which we looked through, me and Carl, we were looking through the Electoral Commission's response in which they were saying their views on e-voting and ID in the UK. And this was a response to reading about the United States.
So...
The UK Electoral Commission decided to look at e-voting and when they looked at e-voting they said it was a complete mess.
It was a complete waste of their time because the companies decided really fast.
It was hugely open to being messed with.
The UK Electorals Commission positioned YouTube, not mine, and they said we don't recommend doing this so the British government's not going to do that.
But they did actually recommend voter ID. Because they said, well, you know, Birmingham, Tower Hamlets.
And in response, we think that if you brought in ID, this would secure these kind of situations.
And they polled the public on this, and it was like 60-odd percent supported it.
It's not necessarily as...
Bad a thing as people in America seem to make out.
There's a big fuss about it, but almost everyone has some form of ID. It's not very difficult to get, and the whole argument that it disenfranchises people is ridiculous because don't you need ID to be able to register to vote in the first place?
Yeah, I mean, we've seen, like, the greatest video I think I've seen on this is, like, Amy Horowitz in the US, in which she went to a college, asked a bunch of, like, white students, what do you think of voter ID? And they're like, oh, it's racist.
It hurts black people.
He was like, alright, bye-bye.
And then he goes down to the Bronx and he just interviews lots of black people.
Do you have ID? Yeah?
Yeah?
Okay, I don't know what the problem was then.
Like, another way they think black people can't use the internet, can't get ID, that kind of thing.
But of course, the Guardian also agrees with this.
So as I said, the commission said that the e-voting was a mess, but voter ID was good.
So the Guardian's response to this was to say that the criticism of showing ID. Britons will have to show photo ID to vote in future general elections.
ministers are poised to confirm this week as a means of tackling fraud which critics claim could deter poorer and ethnic minority voters from taking part in democracy.
Think about that word in there.
tackling fraud, which could deter poor and ethnic minority voters from voting.
That's a weird way of advocating their case as well.
Just like, yeah, well, ethnic minorities need to rely on fraud to be able to vote.
What?
How does that follow?
Like, we were joking.
Me and John on the way in, we heard the news, and we started joking like they're going to say, oh, tackling fraud is racist.
And no, they actually wrote, as tackling fraud, this is bad because it stops ethnic minorities from voting.
Ah, okay, Guardian.
But also, in the UK, we don't just have your driving license or your passport.
You can also get electoral cards.
So if you want electoral ID, you can apply to the government to get that.
My understanding is it's pretty cheap to get.
You can also use old bus passes and whatnot if you're over 60, because they are class as voter ID as well.
But yeah, looks like the Labour Party got screwed, and they're going to continue getting screwed.
So all is well in the kingdom.
I'm glad to hear it.
Talk about the Black Power Commune or whatever.
So yeah, there's been a recent thing that has kind of come to prominence where there's this group called Black Hammer and they've started a fundraiser which raised $64,000 before it actually got closed down to build a city in the middle of the Colorado mountains.
So you're actually getting your wish of giving them their own plot of land and building their own stuff, except they've gone out and raised the money for it.
It's better.
You don't have to get rid of the people in Montana like you wanted to.
Those poor, innocent people.
I had a meme, and my meme was the solution for the socialists is give them what they want.
Here's a huge tract of land the size of Montana, get in there, and then you live your socialist dream.
They're just going to do it for me?
They're doing it for you now.
They've raised some money.
So you have to sacrifice Montana.
So yeah, they've got a plot of land in the Colorado mountains, I think.
And just look at the actual city itself, what they're actually planning to build.
This is supposedly Hammer City.
And as you can see, it's not exactly luxurious, is it?
That's to put it lightly.
I mean...
They've got a couple of central buildings.
One looks kind of like a swimming pool.
I'm guessing that's like a communal area.
And then they've got a couple of other buildings.
I think that's...
And then the rest of these weird sort of...
I don't know what to call them.
Igloo?
I'm sorry, that's a mud hut.
It does look like a mud hut.
For people listening, there's like...
You know how you build...
This is what the city will look like.
They've done one of them.
Except they've built one building with solar panels.
A couple, as you said, that look meh.
And then just the rest of them, just a pile of mud huts.
Yeah, they're like igloo-shaped, and they're even the same colour as the dirt around them on the ground.
So they must be mud huts.
They've got, like, no windows, they've just got a door.
It doesn't look like my vision of a utopia, but...
I love how the chat's calling it Wokander.
So yeah, they've got these weird mounds that people are going to live in, which I don't really understand why you'd ever want to live here.
And guess what they call these, by the way?
They've got a specific name for this style of home.
Is this going to be like, you know in America they have tiny homes, which is just trailer park?
Is this going to be something like that?
You're thinking far too marketable.
They call them earthbag homes.
Yeah, that sounds desirable.
Do you want to go and live in an earthbag?
I mean, it sounds like you're getting into a bag of, like, soil.
I just saw the tagline as well.
Colonised people need dictatorship over our lives.
Labour, land and resources.
Good God.
Yeah, and because they're in the Colorado mountains as well, they're obviously going to need, you know, all the infrastructure that comes along with being independent.
In their little city plan there, what if they've got, like, six buildings that are shared?
So what's that, like, maybe a school, a hospital?
Being charitable!
Yeah.
Well, they did have, like, an education, like, section on their website, because they have their own website where you can donate money to them, because the...
Petition has been taken down now for reasons that will become obvious later on.
But we were actually looking at some of the education stuff and one of the books I believe you looked into that I ended reading.
It was called, I'm going to censor this, Die, N-Word, Die.
And it was by Mr.
Brown.
And Mr.
Brown had written this book in the 60s, arguing for civil rights.
1969 it was, yeah.
Okay, you know, a lot of reasonable things to be said there.
He went on to live in, and then in the year 2000, he decided to, well, the cops came to his house because he refused to go to court to pick him up.
And then the cops couldn't find him, so they left, and then they saw his car pulling up, so they pulled him over.
And they knocked on the window, it's like, how you doing, Mr.
Brown?
He pulled out a rifle and shot them, shot both of the deputies, deputy sheriffs, and then he was charged, and he defended himself in court by saying, there was a racial conspiracy by the police to get me.
Both of the deputies were black.
He shot two black men to end racism.
And the reason he actually was going to court as well was because of a speeding ticket, wasn't it?
Yeah.
It wasn't even anything serious.
Like he killed two people over a speeding ticket.
So yeah, this is their recommended reading.
Their so-called education.
I would hope that they don't have a school if that's what they're teaching them.
They're better off ignorant.
But it seems ridiculous.
Looking at this, no one's going to be able to live on this.
You need at least a water treatment facility.
You probably need somewhere to grow food.
They clearly haven't planned this out.
It's just ridiculous.
They've got these few buildings in the centre, and that's it.
And then these horrible earthbag homes littered around mud huts, as you said.
It's just called the mud huts, that's what they are.
I mean, it sounds so bad, though.
It sounds like a marketing firm has gone to some famine-stricken country, and they're looking at the mud huts people have built, and they're like, oh yes, these earthbag homes.
Very, very gentrifying the area or something.
I'm pretty sure the mud huts, though, in Africa look better than this.
Yeah?
Even in the slums of Liberia, at least they have corrugated iron.
Well, I mean, like the rural villages of Afghanistan, where buildings are made out of dirt.
I mean, they look better than that.
So anyway, I'd like to read out what they've actually said on their petition.
I managed to get the text of it before it got closed down.
And we do actually have the archive link down below, but it's not working at the minute for some reason.
But nevertheless, they say, as of this writing, which is grammatically incorrect, but never mind, Black Hammer has liberated 200 acres of land in so-called Colorado, USA. So-called Colorado, apparently.
10,000 feet above sea level, lush and fertile.
Our comrades who had the chance to visit the land sang only praises of the land.
How the land is perfect to build our eco-friendly and durable earthbag homes.
The beautiful rivers and streams that pass through it, and the amazing flora and fauna we will be living in community with.
Probably resorting to hunting it for food, judging by the lack of infrastructure in their plans.
But this was not an individual effort, though.
From those who donated a dollar and shared the page on Facebook, to the comrades who led the planning of Hammer City and scouted the land, we're all responsible for this victory.
Whoever is responsible for the planning should be held accountable.
I'm thinking I'm shot.
That sounds like their model of justice in this community as well.
They say, Hammer City would not be possible without the unity and support of the colonised masses of the world.
Colonised masses?
Oh, it's worldwide, but same thing.
And supposedly, they're only allowing people who are African American and Native American in this plot of land, I suppose.
Anyone else, I'm afraid you're not oppressed enough and you aren't permitted.
So presumably they're going to have borders in which they check if you're black or Indian enough.
They're going to do little racial checks on the borders.
Just one drop rule.
It's just an ethno state in the Colorado mountains.
It is in the middle of nowhere, so I imagine that they're not exactly going to get too many people stopping by, especially if that's what it looks like at the end of it.
So if you actually move on to the picture of them on their land, here they are.
I mean, it looks ridiculous.
They're all...
You can tell they've come from a city.
Yeah, it's like city children have come to the countryside.
Wait, have you got the next one?
Just look at them.
Look at them.
They're all wearing their stupid uniform with their logo, with the fist holding the hammer with a gear.
I see nobody's built a mud hut yet.
Yeah, I mean...
Too busy taking photos, I guess.
This doesn't look hospitable either.
It's just loads of rocks and, like, kind of disparate vegetation.
Like, come the winter, they are going to be frozen.
I saw you jotted down here.
I don't know if you mentioned it.
They've raised $64,000 to build these mud huts.
Yeah.
I mean, they actually aim for $500,000 as well.
Expensive mud huts, I guess.
Top of the line.
Yeah.
But if you could move back onto the article.
We did have an article covering this and they say about the supposed city.
It would be a city for all people of colour to be free with no discrimination of nationality, gender, age or mental or physical differences.
Hammer City will provide residents with jobs, housing, food and health care.
We're retaining a no-cops, no-rent, no-coronavirus, and no-white-pupil policy.
Go up to the top again.
I want to see that image of them.
I want you to tell me, how white are they?
I mean, that guy in the right, at the bottom there, is that a black man?
Could be.
He's Native American, I don't know.
They are allowed, apparently, in...
Pocahontas over here, like...
That guy is not a person of colour by any stretch of the imagination.
I mean, half of them there don't even look anything like I would actually say is a black person.
I would say they have, like, light brown skin.
I mean, you look more Spanish than you do African.
Yeah, they seem to have a pretty loose definition for people who are seemingly racial supremacists.
It's a bit weird.
So they have said some funny stuff, though.
This is great.
They said about Black Lives Matter that they are sellouts and a simp organisation for the Democratic Party.
True.
The second part, true.
Sellouts, because I know what they're going to say.
They're like sellouts to the black race or something like that, aren't they?
Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
They're like the house N-words.
That's how they would put it.
It's their position, not ours, YouTube.
Yeah, it's a terrible term.
So they've also accused followers of Karl Marx and Antifa of being KKK communists.
But it's just the word communists spelt with three Ks, which is just tasteless.
I love it.
So yeah, here they say, donate to our campaign so we can build a better city.
And the costs are going towards purchasing the land itself, which I think they have this 200 acres already purchased, surveying the land, conducting soil testing, closing costs, establishing an LLC, lawyer's fees and acquiring building permits.
I think that's a weird use of the money.
Surely most of that should be towards...
You know, building the habitable spaces, like building the houses, the infrastructure, but most of it seems to be just the legal side of owning the land and testing the soil to see if crops are growing.
Well, they're testing the soil to see if it's white.
We found this brown, it's okay.
I don't believe any of this either.
I bet they're just going to spend it all on drugs.
It's just going to be a place for them to have raves in the middle of the mountains.
Yeah, they've got to give them 64 grand.
What do you think they're going to do with it?
I don't know.
I mean, moving up into the mountains is pretty dedicated, and they do seem to be up there.
Like, they have a Twitter account, which was where the pictures came from, and they seem to be updating it with stuff.
I bet they go up there.
Like, they've rented a hotel nearby, and they just walk up into, like, you know, 20 metres away from it, take a picture, and then walk back.
Ugh.
I can imagine it, but I feel like these guys are the real deal, to be honest.
We move on to the picture down below, if you just scroll down a little bit, John.
We've got a screenshot of one of the tweets here.
Y'all whiteys, I don't really know what that stands for.
Oh.
Yeah.
I didn't really know that was what it meant.
Keep asking us how we're going to keep ourselves warm up in the mountains, don't y'all?
Already know it just takes a good book to burn and some nice wood.
And best believe we have plenty of copies to keep us warm all season long.
And they've got a picture of Anne Frank's diary and a fire.
So if you could move on to the Fox News.
Damn white people calling us racist!
We're going to burn Anne Frank's diary!
So, Fox News did cover this, and if you could scroll down and look at some of the tweets there, they've got some horrendous stuff.
Lots of people have been quizzing them about this...
Anti-Semitism.
And their arguments in favour of it is pretty much that Anne Frank is some kind of coloniser because her father had links to something or other.
There we go.
I mean, literally in agreement with the Nazis.
Yeah.
And they say, didn't you guys call Anne Frank a coloniser?
And their official Twitter set just says, she is, full stop.
Like the Jews are colonising Germany.
I mean, that's the position of the Nazi party.
And these guys are in agreement.
And they also quote Malcolm X saying that they rented out properties to people in poor areas of New York.
It seems like pretty weak justifications.
And if you could scroll down a bit more, John.
Typical black nationality.
Yeah, there we go.
Can I read this out?
You can quote it.
It's their opinion.
So this is what they say.
And where were white Jews when the slave trade was occurring or genocide of over 100 million indigenous people of Turtle Island?
I looked up what Turtle Island is, by the way, and it's the Native American name for America.
So they just refer to America as Turtle Island for some reason.
I'm guessing it's by one tribe as well.
It's not by all of them.
I wouldn't be surprised, but it's just ridiculous.
Just call it America.
Everyone knows what you mean.
Well, the over 10 million people that were killed in the Congo under King Leopold II, all the scramble for Africa.
They were in Shark Island with the other Germans, genociding, experimenting on the Herero people.
They were financing the slave ships from Africa to the Americas.
They were part of the imperial armies that were sent worldwide to kill and enslave us.
This is what wokeism looks like.
This is the end point.
The Jews are the oppressors of the world.
Horseshoe theory has been vindicated here.
You go far enough left and you just become the far right.
They've literally got the opinion that the Jews run the world and therefore they're the true oppressors of all of us.
And therefore they're the colonizers who must be removed.
Okay, okay, the woke left literally are the Nazi party.
I mean, they're telling you that.
I don't know why we shouldn't believe them.
I just really don't know how they come to these conclusions.
It just seems ridiculous that, you know, we're colonized, we're oppressed, we've been genocided, but yeah, you know whose fault it was?
I'm not going to say that online, but they also have a kind of thing on their website, if you go back to Rory's article, where they talk about reparations, which is a way that white people can support their movement by paying money to essentially get these courses which teach them how to be a useful ally, or useful idiot, I would say.
No, I think ally.
I mean, literal slave to the ideology.
I mean, that's what they're asking you to do there.
Pay money, become our servant.
Work for black nationalism, which we try and exterminate the Jews.
Totally reasonable people.
I mean, why shouldn't we throw all these people out into the streets and be made to beg on the streets?
I don't know.
So the reparations have three different tiers, like the good capitalists that they are.
They've got a tiered reparation system.
Subscribe to my Patreon.
It's almost at that level, isn't it?
So the first level, of course, is called the Che level at $40.
And it says, sign up for a single session of the boot camp and get a view of the experience and work it takes in order to disunite your people worldwide.
People's worldwide acts of genocide and terror take the first steps into creating a world where no one lives at the expense of another and show others that you have what it takes to make a material, not just ideological, difference in the lives of others.
Do you think you're going to sign up?
I mean, it's awfully tempting.
Get the experience and work in what it takes to disanite your people with worldwide acts of genocide and terror.
The ones we're about to enact as soon as we get the money.
So the next level is the Sankara level, which I wasn't actually familiar with this name, but it is a dictator of Burkina Faso in Africa at some point.
So it's just another communist that's killed lots of people.
I've looked this up and the levels of their reparations course actually go up in the number of people that these horrible people have killed.
So the tiers progress until you get to Mao level, who obviously has killed the most out of any of these communists.
But...
Back to this Sankara level, which you need to pay a minimum of $99, which it says you sign up for the four-week bootcamp and get halfway there to falling under the leadership of colonised people.
So you're paying money to fall under leadership.
Bit strange, but...
I mean, like I said, becoming a slave.
More or less.
Although you won't be able to contribute to the organisation at this level, you'll be able to receive valuable skills necessary to help advance anti-colonialism and organise people to return and liberate the land of colonised people around the world.
If you wish to continue the eight-week bootcamp, simply pay reparations for another Sankara-level bootcamp.
So they've got a very capitalistic approach here, where if you pay for the bootcamp twice, you ascend to the next level.
At least the Soviets didn't charge for the gulags.
I forgot to mention that if you pay an additional 25% in reparations, you receive an exclusive piece of Black Hammer gear.
I mean, an additional 25%, so that's what, another $25?
You get a piece of their gear to allow you to remember your oppressive treatment.
Like a sickle, or...?
I don't know.
Probably a t-shirt, I imagine.
And the final level is the Mao level, which you need to pay a minimum of $199.
They say, sign up for the entire eight-week boot camp and get fully certified as someone who is united under colonised leadership.
By completing this level, you'll get a chance to provide your skills to the organisation and become an active recruiter to make sure that other people are continuing to pay reparations and support the masses of poor and working-class colonised people.
Upon completion, you will receive a Reparations Corps uniform.
Oh, great.
And if you pay an additional 25% in reparations, you also receive an exclusive...
A piece of Black Hammer gear.
I'm going to give you a uniform, because you're the Reparations Corps.
I'll give you little armbands as well, while we burn at my...
and Frank's diary.
This does sound really bad, doesn't it?
They've gone full circle here.
They've arrived at the position of the far right.
So, they say, why should you join this corps?
What are the possible reasons that you would want to do this?
They say...
For 600 years you have been murdering indigenous people, enslaving Africans, colonising the globe.
Aren't you tired of endless genocides enacted in your name?
You have raped Turtle Island and her indigenous nations.
You stole African people from their prosperous continent to build your plantations.
You've stolen our land, forced us to work as slaves, racked up the plunder under colonialism to fuel the parasitic capitalistic system that murders us today.
The genocide of colonised people never ended.
They are continuing today worldwide through colonialism and imperialism.
You have blood on your hands, but you can never wash them clean on your own accord.
In the words of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire...
Although the situation of oppression is dehumanised and dehumanising totality affecting both oppressors and those whom they oppress.
I'm not sure that's grammatically correct, but I'm being really pedantic.
It is the latter who must, from their stifled humanity, wage for both the struggle for a fuller humanity.
The oppressor who is himself dehumanised because he dehumanises others is unable to lead this struggle.
So sit down and take notes.
And they say, by paying reparations, you acknowledge that you and your nation still benefit from our stolen resources.
By taking this class, you acknowledge that you and your nations still benefit from the dopamine rush of conquest.
What does that even mean?
Like, you get a kick out of conquering people.
Just throwing in some, like, neurochemical justification for this.
So they say, the revolution will overturn these contradictions and colonisers can either fall in line behind our leadership or help us build, or you can stand in the way of our hammers.
So what do you make of all that?
I mean, most of it, it's almost like white noise, isn't it?
It's like listening to the Soviet Union propagandists of the 30s.
Western imperialist capitalist...
Turn off.
But, I mean, they are serious.
I mean, if someone tells you we're going to kill you and then all the Jews, I mean, I don't see any reason to not take them at the word and therefore stop them.
Ugh, these guys.
They're so terrible.
Anyway, could we go to the article, sorry?
They did some funny stuff about Karl Marx at the bottom here.
Here they say, we personally want to say, rest in pee, to coloniser Karl Marx.
Marx is Ku Klux communists.
I'd like to think that this is just their teeth chattering all the way up in the mountains.
They're so cold they've run out of Anne Frank to burn...
His communist manifesto has created a generation of crackers.
This is really difficult to read.
And leftists who think they're on the side of colonised peoples while lining up to be the first to genocide, enslave and kill us.
They've got Karl Marx looking like a demonic clown and some other kind of propaganda, I guess.
So Karl Marx is not communist enough, apparently.
And they say, Marx was a notorious racist describing...
Our societies are barbaric and primitive, despite the fact that true barbarianism was from c-c-crackers worldwide.
Marx didn't contribute anything to society except stealing what little he could imagine from African and colonised societies.
I'm pretty sure Marx stole from his family and Engels, actually, but...
I think it was black.
Apparently now they are.
He lived a life of dependency, sure.
We did a whole contemplations on it, but he was basically just borrowing money off of his friends and family.
Borrowing, like typical stuff.
Not giving back, yeah.
Let me expropriate your wealth.
So if we could move on to their constitution, this is a goldmine of nonsense.
So if you could scroll down a bit, John.
Some of their principles here are just ridiculous.
So Article 1, we believe that colonised proletariat should have dictation.
Dictatorship over our lives, labour, land and resources.
So it's, you know, cookie-cutter communist stuff and it goes on and on and on.
So if you want to find out a bit more about these guys, this is probably the best thing to look for and it'll be linked down below on the website.
So, after this depressing window into...
$64,000.
I know.
They've got that money.
That's theirs.
But it's not all bad.
I think this is win-win for normal people in that if they fail, it's funny.
And if they succeed, it's going to get loads of the kind of racial extremists living out in Colorado where they're not going to bother anyone.
So no matter what happens here, I feel like everyone's a winner.
You know the white nationalists actually did the same thing like 10 years ago?
Well, just set up their own, like, parallel society.
Yeah, except they did it with actual, well, their own money.
Somehow they're better than them on this.
So they just decided they were going to buy some, like, decrepit town, sorry, village that was being destroyed.
And a bunch of white nationalists decided they would buy the houses there because the houses are worth nothing.
Everyone's leaving.
And then they would make it into a white nationalist utopia.
It failed because it was, you know, going to.
It was a pathetic state.
No one of them would live in this piece of S town because, you know, it's got white people in.
Yeah, but there's no hospital and my kids can't get running water.
There are bigger things to worry about than the skin colour of people around you.
So I imagine exactly the same thing will happen.
Yeah, well, they clearly haven't planned out the infrastructure side of things.
Planning an entire city is a complicated thing, and they've clearly not done that if they're living in little mud huts in the middle of the Colorado mountains.
I mean, we're starving to death, but at least everyone's black.
Not my priorities, but okay.
So, I know you wanted to talk about free speech and how it's apparently being encroached upon.
Yeah, so free speech is shrinking, as it usually is by the looks of it, because people are not willing enough to fight back at it in positions of power.
So the first thing here is actually just a funny little thing I found.
So this is a Vox article referring to the Facebook situation.
So the First Amendment has a Facebook problem, they title it here.
And you remember, this is because Donald Trump was banned from Facebook for inciting violence, which he was then shown to be not guilty of, which is why he wasn't impeached and has not been charged, and therefore didn't do nothing.
So in response, Facebook just said, okay, we're not sure.
We're going to set up an oversight board who will look at this.
And the oversight board looked at it and they upheld the ban.
I was quite surprised about that because they've overturned quite a lot of things in the past.
So I actually looked at some of it and there was all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff where I thought, okay, I can kind of see why Facebook has banned this, but they're like, nope, it needs to stay.
And then they keep the ban on Donald Trump.
It didn't really add up to me.
Yeah, because it's political.
I think so.
We looked at the list of people on the board, it was all like the checkmark types.
I mean, one of them was an ex-prime minister from Denmark, from the Social Democrats.
How do you think she's going to vote on this?
What does it matter about the facts of the case?
It doesn't matter.
So they decided they would keep the ban, because of course they would.
But they did say something in response, which is that the oversight board said to Facebook, we're not the ones to set up a standard for a permanent ban.
So that's up to you to come up with the standards, and you want to make standards for a permanent ban.
And if Donald Trump doesn't reach them, then he's not permanently banned, in which case you have to give him six months or whatever the heck you want.
And that's your problem.
In which Facebook were like, why the hell did we set you up?
Like, we set you up to answer these questions.
Why have you just sent it back to us as if we're meant to solve it?
So, I mean, I've got some sympathy for that.
I literally pay you to sit around and discuss that, not us.
So, in this Vox article, you get the cookie-collar stock standard leftist response.
Because leftists apparently only care about private property when it's about censoring their enemies.
So Facebook and Twitter are private companies, free to do whatever they want with their platforms.
Yeah, of course they are leftists.
That's exactly how leftists view the world.
Private companies, free to do whatever they want.
Yeah, shut up.
So disingenuous.
But he does not hear, which is that they're starting to realize, I think, that, actually, what happens now that all the right are gone?
Who are they going to censor now that all the right-wingers are banned?
It's going to be the moderate left, right?
It's going to be the left, because there's no one left!
So he says in here, if a public square is controlled by a few private companies, and they have the power to collectively ban citizens whenever they want, then doesn't that give the ability to effectively deny them their constitutionally protected liberties?
Yes!
We've been saying this the whole time!
This is the problem!
They finally got to it.
They finally realized that the light switch went on.
That, yeah, maybe if we ban people from all popular methods of communication, then they effectively don't have any free speech.
Because if they can talk to themselves, they're free, aren't they?
No, of course not.
I mean, if you can think something, you're a free man.
You just can't say it.
I mean, by that standard, North Korea is a free country, folks.
Anyway.
So, and all of this takes place, and at the same time, okay, this is a leftist outlet, but the party of the left in the United States, the Democrats, will cheer.
They will cheer as you censor people.
So they've got the next one here.
I can't believe they put this out on their Twitter account.
I can't get over it.
Democrats.
Verified checkmark.
At the Democrats.
Retweet if you agree.
Facebook should permanently ban Donald Trump.
Full stop.
That's all they put out.
Just that.
No.
Ban our opposition.
That's it.
That's the Democrats' opinion.
That's a bit questionable.
It's not questionable, it's disgusting.
I mean, literally, this guy says a thing we don't like, ban him.
I mean, that's their opinion.
Literally, ban our political opposition because they've said things we don't like.
I mean, they can't get him on incitement because no one has.
He got acquitted on that in the political side, and you might say, oh, that's politics, whatever.
He wasn't charged with it by any...
You know, criminal court or anything because he didn't do it.
You can endlessly argue about this.
You can watch the footage yourself.
Literally says, peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
People went down there and weren't peaceful.
Not his fault.
Just not his fault.
Doesn't matter what you say.
He didn't tell them to do it.
100% agree.
Yeah.
In which case, the Democrats' response, yeah, it doesn't matter.
Still ban him.
Ban him from speaking.
I mean, that's their position on this whole thing.
In which case, if they do it to him, why won't they do it to you?
What's going to stop them?
If they can do it to the former President of the United States, there's not going to be this kind of fuss if it's just a regular person.
Yeah, I mean, if you're a schoolteacher or something, or if you're a firefighter and you say something they don't like, what's going to stop them from banning you?
What's going to stop them from censoring you?
If they're happy to do it in the private sector, why would they not be happy to do it in the public sector?
Not only will they try and censor you, they'll also try and ban you from being employed as well.
They'll try and dox your employer so that they'll try and destroy your life if you say something they don't like at this point.
I mean, I can't get over how much this didn't explode.
Like, Republicans.
Are there any Republicans watching?
If anyone has an ear of some Republican lawmakers or chairman or anything in the party, make them aware of this.
Share this to no end.
Because people need to see that's the Democrats' opinion.
If you say something we don't like, we will have you banned.
I mean, the smart political thing for them to do here was to be to say nothing.
Like, he's been banned from Facebook.
Okay, we'll shut up and pretend that, oh no, we stand for freedom and all the blah blah blah blah blah and all the lies that they tell people.
Mask off, no.
Ban anyone who disagrees with us.
That's the party's opinion.
They haven't taken this down.
This is still up.
You can go find it.
Put it in front of every Republican's face you know.
I don't know why.
This should just be the campaign for Trump's next election or whatever, or the midterms or whatever.
Just show this tweet.
There we go.
That's their opinion on the First Amendment.
I just really wasn't that surprised.
They just said the quiet part out loud.
I knew that they believed that he should be banned and stay banned because it works out for them, but I didn't actually expect them to come out and say it explicitly and openly.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
I mean, it's essentially the same as if they just put, yes, we want to grab your guns.
Like, you have no right to bear arms.
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, sorry, it really annoyed me, because I'm also at the same time.
It did get massively, you know, ratioed.
It got ratioed by the, let's say, like...
Shoe on head types.
But I mean, what's the argument?
Let's hear it.
Anyway, let's move on.
So it could be worse.
Could be worse.
You could be living in Britain.
So we go to Britain for a second.
There's some problems going on here.
So the first thing I wanted to show was there's a retired judge who said that transgender groups have too much say on hate crime laws and consultation on expanding the risks and they risk them being unbalanced.
It's like, really?
That's a really tepid way of putting it.
Unbalanced.
I mean, it's a really kind way of saying predatory.
I mean, hate crime laws in and of themselves are abhorrent.
Never mind the fact that, oh, the trans groups have got too much influence there.
Whatever.
Anyway, so the Law Commission is pushing to make misogyny, age, and sex workers also a protected group.
I mean, not some kind of group that has got the same rights as everyone else.
Privilege.
They want a privileged position in which, if you insult them, you've broken the law.
Sorry, he's saying all that LGBT campaigns, like Stonewall saying the commission was treating them more like a consultant than a consultee.
The commission has already backed down on one proposal for offensive family dinner table comments to be classified as hate crimes.
Oh, thank Christ.
Thank Christ.
We can say things within our own homes.
What a small mercy.
Yeah, but you remember they were trying to propose this in Scotland.
I don't know if it passed in Scotland.
I think it did.
It did.
So in Scotland, if you say thing at a dinner table, that's not protected anymore.
You can be sent to jail for that.
In England, they at least backed down on that.
We have that privilege.
Oh, freedom.
The land I live in.
So, this isn't the only thing, of course.
There's an article here in which, you know, you're looking at these campaigners, as you say, who turn up.
No one should take them seriously.
I mean, the next link here, there's an article called Nobody Wins the Gender Wars, and the author points out the exact kind of nonsense we're dealing with.
I mean, the SJW nonsense from these extremist groups who come and lobby the government all the time...
I mean, they're the kind of people who are happy to get women sexually assaulted in prison.
You might think it sounds weird.
No.
Karen White.
Karen White, the sex offender, identified as a woman, was already a sex offender, and when I'm a woman, you have to send me to a woman's prison.
The state agreed, sent her to a woman's prison.
What did she do?
She sexually assaulted the inmates.
What were you expecting to happen?
I mean, that's the end point of these people's ideology.
I mean, they should be ostracized in the same way that, like, the paedophile information exchanges.
I mean, completely out of politics whatsoever.
They shouldn't be in there lobbying the government on how to, you know, change laws.
And the last thing I wanted to mention was just the horrible situation in Britain with the pastors.
So, in Britain, if you want to be a Christian, you want to go out and preach your faith...
Too bad.
Shut up.
Because how dare you try and claim such liberties?
So this is the first one here.
The arrest of another Christian street pastor could prove costly for the Met.
And they list in here that the pastor decided to go out and preach that marriage was between a man and a woman.
Wow.
That's...
That's Islamophobic.
That's a hate crime.
I'm not joking.
So we go to the next link.
Islamophobic?
What?
Homophobic.
Oh, right.
So this is the Reclaim Party.
So Lawrence Fox's party retweeting it.
You can see the link is missing for some reason.
Are they calling it awful?
If we go to the next one, you can see him here.
So the guy goes out.
He starts preaching that marriage is between a man and a woman because he's a Christian.
What are you expecting?
And the police turn up and decide to say that he's committed a hate crime by doing that, and then they go on to arrest him and drag him down and then drag him to the station for breaking the law.
I mean, this is where this leads you.
I mean, if you accept these kind of people in government as pressure groups who are going to advise the government on things they don't know much about, no.
I mean, you do not invite communists in to advise you how to run the state if you're a liberal.
And for doing this, I think he's now back out preaching, but I don't know what the state of him is.
So we go to the next link.
This is Newsweek.
So a UK pastor arrested after anti-same-sex marriage comments.
So this is that same pastor who was arrested for anti-same-sex.
So he said that marriage between a man and a woman, that's fine.
I don't agree.
I don't give a toss.
I'm not someone who's getting married anytime soon.
I don't care about Christianity, I'm an atheist, but so what?
Like, this guy should not be arrested for sharing his opinion.
I very much agree.
Yeah.
So, they say in here that if he presented the Christian worldview, that marriage is between a man and a woman, and for this, he was accused of a hate crime, arrested and imprisoned overnight.
This abhorrent removal of free speech should never have happened in London.
I much agree.
That's a quote from, was it Curtin there?
David Curtin, who ran for the Heritage Party.
Great guy.
So, he's said to have returned to the same place.
He was arrested under Section 5 of the Public Order Act because he caused alarm and distress.
Now, this is a law that's broad, can get abused all the time, and you can say, oh, it's Section 5.
No, it's not Section 5's fault, actually.
I mean, for all the problems Section 5 has and all the abuse it has, it's the cultural problem.
The fact that the police thought they could get away with that and say that, no, no, you're committing a hate crime.
I mean, all of that, okay, you get rid of all of the hate crime stuff, you get rid of all of the culture of wokeness, and all of a sudden, he doesn't get arrested for Section 5.
It's the cultural upbringing that then uses that law as a weapon.
I'd also like to see them do this to an imam.
Just wait and see the backlash.
They'll do it to the opposite.
They'll do it to a man who's criticising Islam.
So we can get the next one up.
So this is police payout after Christian street preacher arrest.
So we're going to do a bit of a white pill here, but it's still a horrible story.
So if you can scroll down, I don't know if we can see the chap on here.
Pastor, God knows how you say his last name.
Sorry, mate.
But he was out street preaching, and he was arrested for Islamophobic comments.
Islamophobic comments.
And that was because he was preaching Christianity, I take it?
We don't know.
Weird, right?
Like, we have no idea what he said.
We just know that he was arrested for making Islamophobic comments.
And that's all they've released about what he actually said.
Yeah, there's an interview in here in which they actually ask him himself.
And he says that there was a hooded man who had come up to him who identified as a Muslim and was saying Allah is the best.
In which case, so what?
Like, Christian doesn't think Allah is real.
Oh well.
Like that.
Shut him down boys.
So there's a quote from another person, a bystander.
So the bystander saw the hooded man and this Christian preacher chatting about religion and he got worried that the Muslim man was about to assault the Christian preacher.
So he called the cops to protect the Christian preacher because he's out preaching.
He gives a toss.
That's not a crime.
If this Muslim man wants to assault him then that would be the crime.
So the police turned up and do the appropriate thing of not keeping them separate but instead arresting the Christian preacher because of his Islamophobic comments.
That's appalling.
Yeah.
So if we can go to the next link, just so people might remember this.
You might remember this video.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I do know.
Him saying, please don't take my Bible away.
So they do, and then the...
I can't get over this.
So he says, the Christian preacher, please don't take my Bible away.
The police officer responds with, you should have thought of that before being racist.
Right.
Racist as well.
God is the way.
Jesus is the way.
You know, so on and so forth.
That's racism.
Get arrested.
And presumably they charged him with Section 5 and whatnot.
But thankfully he has been able to countersue them for false imprisonment.
And he's got £2,500 out of them for this arrest.
That's a small recompense, but at least it's something.
I think the acknowledgement of them doing it wrongfully is a big part of that.
Yeah, I know this is like a year old, but it's the update there.
And it's good to see it's a bit of a white pill to end on.
But I mean, that's the state of Britain.
I mean, if the US wants to keep going down that route, I mean, with the Democrats openly say, censor anyone who disagrees with us, this is where you end up.
This is where you end up.
Christian preachers being arrested in the street for being racist because they've said Islamophobic things or homophobic things.
Why?
Because they've quoted the Bible.
Like, I don't agree with the Bible.
I'm an atheist.
Throw it in the trash as far as I'm aware.
Well, don't do that.
That's a bit far.
Not interested in Christianity at all in being true.
But I don't care.
It's your right.
You want to believe in Christianity.
You want to say that the Bible is the truth, the way, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, you should be able to do that.
And in Britain, you can't.
Anyway, let's end it there.
Sorry, I'm a little bit mad, because it's just so disgusting.
Like, the police arresting some Christian preacher.
Like, you should have thought about that before you were racist, mate.
The thing is, it's so selectively enforced as well, that there are plenty of people who will not be touched by the police, but because it's a Christian, they know that they're not going to get much kickback from people, and therefore they feel like they can get away with it.
Whereas, if it were an imam doing exactly the same thing, I'm sure he'd be fine.
But, apparently not.
I love this as well, the officially Christian country.
The Queen is not only the head of state for having the biggest army, she's appointed by God, and therefore the head of the Church of England, and therefore England is a Christian country.
And yet we arrest Christian pastors for offending Islam.
It's ridiculous.
White pill, but also very angering.
So let's go to the video comments.
Well, that was the scariest thing I've ever heard.
But, you know, I'm running for governor in California because California could use better governance.
And, you know, I have a perspective as a transgender person.
I understand that they need to be accepted, but as a former Olympian athlete, I understand that biological males just shouldn't be competing with biological females in sports because that's unfair.
That's a great impression.
I said that on Friday.
I really didn't expect he would do it.
You pulled through me.
That was Caitlyn Jenner running for California governor for the Republicans.
Yeah, I remember you saying it.
I watched along with the podcast on Friday.
That was great.
Stunning and brave, as the chat says.
Definitely stunning and brave.
Let's get to the next one.
According to Bank of America, we are going into transitory hyperinflation.
As such, I don't know if I'll always be able to post to the Lotus Eaters channel, which is why I have started my own YouTube channel, where I'll be posting all of the videos that I would post to Lotus Eaters and that I do post onto it as a backup.
It will be Mormon Jihad, Magic the Gathering content, Memes, like my cover of Dr.
Fauci, and short pieces of news that I think are important.
Here's to not having hyperinflation.
The Principal of Mahan Part 3.
So I'm just trying to find his channel so I can subscribe because I do not want to miss out.
There we go.
Got it.
Daniel Crosby.
It doesn't show up when you put in Daniel Crosby, folks, so type in The Principal of Mahan Part 3 and then you will get his channel there.
I just got your fourth sub, mate.
I'm sticking around for that.
Congratulations.
Yeah, thank you for supporting us.
If you can't because of hyperinflation, then, you know, fair enough.
I'm not gonna hold you against it at all.
I look forward to more content.
Let's move on to the next one.
In the Talmud, you have discussions on how to rule with the law in a certain case.
You have other discussions about how to interpret Torah passages.
And then you have stories like the one I'm about to share.
A rabbi realized that there's a demon in a palm tree And so he decides he wants to exorcise it.
So he goes and gets an amulet, and amulets are incredibly prevalent in the Talmud.
And so he goes back to the palm tree with his amulet and tries to exorcise the demon, but it turns out that there's not one demon in the palm tree, but there is 60.
And when he tries to exercise it, the tree explodes.
When we learn Talmud, we're not really sure what the educational value or the purpose of such stories is, but there's a lot of mystical stuff, and it's quite entertaining, so I just thought I'd share.
I've never heard that before.
Is there a lesson in there?
The lesson is that be wary of trees, because they might explode.
LAUGHTER So says Yahweh.
Yeah, I can't find a lesson in there, but yeah, it was an interesting story at least, so thank you for that.
Let's go to the...
Well, I suppose the lesson, if I'm to take it seriously, is that when you come to something with an expectation, it could be wildly inaccurate and therefore you need to prepare for all things.
But it still exploded.
How was he meant to stop it exploding?
You should have predicted the 60...
You should have bought five amulets.
Yeah.
I don't know, I feel like we're clumpstring at straws there.
Anyway, do you want to scroll down and read the comments today?
Of course.
Because my voice is hoarse from shouting about the British today.
No worries.
So, Christian Anderson.
Didn't completely grasp what the UK election was about, so checked Wikipedia.
There it looked like a lot...
Looks like no huge gain in any direction, just a slight one in Tory's favour, but far from the death of Labour.
Very biased wiki article.
I would say, I mean, there are local elections, but a lot of stuff just gets assigned at the local level, so that's important, them losing loads of councils there.
But it's more fundamentally the fact that they're going to continue to lose under Keir Starmer, and they can't move.
They're paralyzed.
It's like they've been stung by a scorpion or something, and they're just stuck.
There's nowhere they can go, and the position they're in is one that will keep dragging them down.
Normally the local elections are just a way for people to give the government a bit of a kicking, and the fact that this didn't happen, and this has been a trend in British politics for a very long time, is kind of indicative of something much larger that could happen in a general election as well, in that people use these as a more reliable form of opinion poll for general elections going forward, and it seems to indicate that Labour doesn't really stand a chance.
Somewhat.
But it's also the fact that once an area will go Tory, I mean, once you change a person's mind and they're willing to go between Labour and the Tories instead of being solidly Labour or solidly Tory, things are up for play.
And the fact that it's a bunch of Labour people going towards the Tories, well, then all those seats are also up for play, in which case Labour's on the defensive massively.
So they're just in a pathetic position.
There's no way they can fight it.
Yeah, lots of safe areas that were once Labour strongholds are now all of a sudden voting Conservative and that's historic really and no one really knows the exact reasons for that.
Ah, we know a few of them.
We do indeed.
The Labour Party.
That's the main one.
They just suck.
I mean, everything about them is awful.
I mean, take literally any issue of the last ten years and they're on the wrong side of it.
Anyway, sorry.
So, Alex Ogle.
Ari, the local elections.
I spoke with my parents over the weekend.
I live in Canada and they are in the UK. My father repeated his long-standing opinion that he thinks party politics has no place in local elections, as they are precisely that local...
My parents refuse to vote based on that.
While I agree that it is heartening to see Labour, the party of slavery, excuses and class divisions get trounced, I have to agree that it should have happened at the national level, not the local.
I disagree wholeheartedly with your parents there, and I will give you the best example I can think of.
So, I mean, sure, most stuff at the local level is not really that political.
I mean, how many bus stops do you want to build or something like this?
Absolutely.
Sure.
But that's not what all the money is spent on.
A large amount of that money will be sent on partisan issues.
I mean, take, for example, down in Reading, we have a mural to Black History.
I mean, look up Reading Black History mural and just have a laugh because it is so comical.
I can't believe this is still up.
So the council paid for this to be made and it starts with the pyramids and a black guy in Egyptian clothing is like...
Okay, we're literally living the memes.
And then it goes on, and it goes on.
And the rest of it, I mean, it just turns into American history.
They've got Martin Luther King and Malcolm X quotes and whatnot.
It's just like, right, that has nothing to do with Britain, and you know it.
Like, this is the civil rights movement in the US, which, I mean, sure, you can lord, but don't spend taxpayers' money on it.
And that's the kind of thing they spend money on.
I mean, I saw some report.
I think the initial reporting was £100,000 a bit spent to redo it.
I don't think it was actually that high.
I think it was misreporting.
But I think it was still tens of thousands of pounds were spent on retouching it up.
For what?
That's tax money well spent.
Yeah, that's my money.
I pay money for the goddamn local government in my taxes, and they spend it on that.
I mean, you tell me partisanship doesn't matter there.
I mean, they're literally spending money on race propaganda.
And we've got the situation with the statues as well, whether they stay up or come down.
If it's going to be a Labour councillor, for example, they're probably going to err on the side of taking them down.
You don't necessarily want that, so it does matter what these people believe, and...
I think it represents...
The party that they stand behind represents what they believe, and it's an easier way for people who don't necessarily follow politics or don't want to go to the effort, which isn't really an excuse, but of finding out what each of the candidates believe.
I mean, it's the small little cultural revolution type of things.
I mean, that's where they have the power there.
If they own all the councils, you just let the conservatives own the national stuff.
I mean, sure, cool.
But all the small things in your life will get corrupted by socialism there.
So, anyway...
Absolutely.
Edward of Woodstock.
One thing I've noticed with many lefties is that they cannot get their heads around their policies might be unpopular.
It's always a question of not getting the point across or the voters just being wrong.
And honestly, I hope they never learn that lesson.
I hope the Labour Party goes to its grave in a blaze of glory and the next party realises that the views of people should inform the party and not vice versa.
Capitalism rules okay.
It won't go there in a blaze of glory, it'll go there in a blaze of infighting, which should be just as wonderful.
A blaze of humiliation, hopefully.
So, I'm probably going to mispronounce this, I do apologise.
Cookie cutter?
I don't know.
That's what it's supposed to be, yeah.
Hartlepool should be a verb in the political lexicon.
Example, Diane Abbott tried to push for open borders but got Hartlepooled by the public.
That's good.
That's good.
I want to use that.
Get hardly pulled.
Henry Ashman.
I went to uni with a current Labour councillor.
He was, in a word, useless.
For the group project work, he was constantly missing in action and delivered nothing.
He was already having to repeat second year, having failed it the first time.
Third year, we all assumed he dropped out, having never seen him in any lectures or lab sessions, but to our shock, he rocked up for the exams.
Guy held on to his council seat in the North East, so he's probably one of the better members of the Labour Party.
What does that say about the rest?
There's a reason people call it a political graveyard for people who can't thrive anywhere else.
He's probably their chief economist.
Sean Nash.
There are moments in history wherein the political dynamics shift so radically a major political party dies and is replaced.
I never thought I'd live to see such a moment, but there's a chance we could witness two almost simultaneously, one in Britain, the other in the United States.
Labour can't die quick enough and either the Democrats or the Republicans could be the party to go, poof here in America.
God save the Queen.
Yeah.
I mean, that's the thing in my mind.
Like, I don't know, you know Cole sometimes talks about the 20-year plan?
That sounds very Stalinist.
No, but it's like the plan to fix the country, essentially.
I mean, in my mind, if we can get the Labour Party dead, I mean, just dead as a doorknob, and then the Conservatives, essentially, the two different sides, because it's a huge tent, the Conservative Party.
And there are people in there who really should not agree on things, and quite frankly should be the two different choices for the public.
But socialism and the Labour Party should not be a choice for the public, because I mean, who wants it?
I mean, clearly not the voters, because they keep voting against it.
Absolutely.
So, Christian S. Remain Labour pushing the idea of staying in the EU after Brexit has completed as means of attractive to voters.
Did I just misread that?
After Brexit has been completed as means of being attractive to voters.
Sounds like Southern Democrats trying to say they will support staying in the Confederacy.
That is a novel strategy to regain votes and makes it appear that Labour is out of ideas and lost ideas.
Yeah, I like the comparison as well.
You want to rejoin the Confederacy?
Labour Party remain us, or rejoin us.
Lee B, I'm not a fan of German-style papers-please ID laws, but for voting it makes sense.
In theory, you just need to know the name and the address of the people who aren't voting, and you can go ahead and cast a vote in their place.
As illegal as that would be, there isn't much stopping you without voter ID laws.
Yeah, I mean, this part isn't going on YouTube as well, so we can speak...
So one of the things here is it's kind of funny that you see the Boris Johnson Conservative government essentially looking at the US elections and then responding by, we're going to introduce voter ID laws.
What are you saying there, buddy?
But it didn't have to be like this.
It didn't have to be like this.
But Birmingham, Tower Hamlets.
Now it's like this.
It's funny.
They're going to be disenfranchised without that lack of ID. So, Chad Koala, reading what Black Hammer people have aired, it seems to be basically, we are victims, repeated incessantly with routine interjections of bashing Anne Frank for some reason.
Not wrong.
Not the firmest base upon which to build a community, in my opinion.
Very true.
Death to Anne Frank.
It's not the most popular position either.
Yeah, I mean, out of all of the white people in existence, they had to pick probably one of the worst ones to be rude towards.
Well, you didn't want to go with Andrew Jackson or, I don't know, like Hitler or something like that.
There was Anne Frank.
She's the bad guy in all this.
And it was because of her father's connection, not even her personally.
No, she's got race guilt.
Inherited in her genes for her father.
I mean, that's what white privilege is.
I mean, that's the argument.
You essentially have a sin you're born with.
That's such rubbish, isn't it?
So, Andrew Johnson.
If the Black Hammer commune is open to colonised people only, then surely it will welcome the Finns, colonised by the Swedes as well as the Greeks, and the Bulgars, colonised by the Ottomans, with open arms.
By the same principle, the Ethiopians and Turks should be flatly rejected.
Doing anything else would be complete hypocrisy.
Yes.
Absolutely.
This is one of the things where, you know, I sometimes talk about how the stereotype of the Yanks is they don't know much about the rest of the world.
I mean, this is the kind of thing you'd rarely hear a European leftist talking like this, which is to say this land has been colonized, at least in Europe, because it's like, well, no, everyone knows everyone's colonized everyone at some point in the UK. But in the Americas, people don't learn anything about the rest of the world, it seems, which is how you end up with this kind of nonsense.
And the thing is, a lot of the people who were escaping, like, wars and oppression went over to America in the first place.
Like, the Puritans that were persecuted in the UK... They're just refugees, man.
Anyway...
Refugee bashing leftists, yeah?
Yeah, if you bash American whites, you're bashing a persecuted race of people.
They were persecuted by us here.
We'll do it again.
Michael Watters.
So there's going to be a different archaeological reconstruction called Sickle City, or would that be Two on the Nose?
So it's like a...
I don't really get the reference here, but is he like Hammer and Sickle?
It's going to be like a competing one?
I assume so.
I imagine that, considering they haven't even raised their 500,000 for their first city, and it's probably going to end in tears.
The second one?
It's going to end in mud.
It's going to be mud fights from now on.
Ignacio Juncker, is that right?
Sorry if I pronounced that wrong.
Yes.
Communists wanting a hard border.
Mob-ruled ethnostate.
Another normal Monday.
Literally like Nazbol Nation.
That's what it's going to be.
Charlie the Beagle, looking at Hammer City, kind of reminded me of Jonestown.
All I'll say is, don't drink the Kool-Aid.
It's funny, because I've seen those, when I was reading about it, there were lots of analogies to Jonestown in the kind of weird cult-like thing.
Although I think in Jonestown they had nicer accommodation, despite being poisoned.
One of the sad things I saw about Jonestown was apparently they made the youngest drink first.
So you give all the kids the drink, and then the parents have got to do it, because it's like, well, you already killed your kid.
Thanks for that.
Thanks for sharing.
But that's what they're going to do.
I can't imagine them in a year's time being like, to save black people, we must kill all the black people.
Drink the Kool-Aid.
That's going to be their opinion.
No, actually, could you rationalize it as well?
We live in a white supremacist state.
The white supremacist state still won't leave our commune alone.
Therefore, the only way we can free ourselves of white supremacy is to go into the alpha life.
I mean, that's going to be them.
That's going to be their position.
And then they all drink the Kool-Aid and then...
No, I'm not going to make that joke.
I'm going to leave it there.
So, Foothouse.
Earthbag homes are homes made from bags filled with earth and sand.
They aren't the worst thing you can make a building out of.
Not as bad as you made it seem to be, but not something I'd like to live in, even.
But this is a communist utopia, and they're living in what would be a machine gun emplacement, just bags of sand and earth.
It's a good point.
We want a utopia.
What's it going to be?
Dirt.
Not high-rises, not luxury.
Dirt.
To be fair, I did see some other pictures where they looked a bit nicer, where they actually had windows and maybe a bit of plastering on these.
You can call it that.
What did they do, like, poke out the dirt and then that was the window?
Or did they at least put some glass in?
They had some glass in at the very least.
Ooh, luxury.
Fancy.
About 500 years of capitalism has provided such things, but alas.
Benjamin Charles.
Someone should tell the smooth brains of Black Hammer that agriculture at 10,000 feet will not work.
Colorado water management laws forbid the diversion of any water source, including rainwater, without state permits.
That's quite interesting.
I didn't know that.
Well...
So Discordia's saying she looked this up.
Apparently it became legal last month to divert water, I guess.
But I don't know why.
Still heavy restrictions on it, she says.
So they're still going to get screwed.
I mean, either way, there's going to be no food.
But, I mean, that's sort of normal.
I'd find that funny if they were just doing it.
Just like, we've got these weirdos in our mountains.
We want to get rid of them.
But we're going to introduce these laws where they can't divert the water.
So, Aaron Watkins, 33 minutes in, and Callum is getting out the Dulux colour chart to determine the level of authenticity of the proto-commie ethno state.
We should really start, like, I don't know, there's going to be someone who sets up, it's got to be the Babylon Bee or something, which is this commie starter kit, and it includes the colour, and it's just like, inevitably, when you agree that fascism has actually just advanced socialism, here's the socialism, sorry, the fascism stuff, go with it, which can chest everyone's race.
Let's see.
You're too white.
He says, carries on, to be fair, so are they.
Also, 200 acres out in the sticks, it's Far Cry 5 for real.
I also thought of that.
Lee B, the Black Hammer reparation system screams of medieval Catholic church.
The more you pay, the more you repent for your sins.
Absolutely.
It does really have a structure of a religion, doesn't it?
Indulgences.
It's exactly that.
Give us money and we'll get rid of your sin.
What's the sin?
White privilege.
That's exactly that.
So, James Stevens.
These types couldn't even maintain a chop chas in a city with pre-existing supply chains.
A commune in the middle of nowhere.
They're going to die.
That's pretty much my conclusions.
Like I said, it's win-win.
I mean, literally, they're going to kill themselves, and it's like...
What am I meant to do?
Stop them?
It's their dream to live under socialism, so...
I respect them more than Black Lives Matter, to be fair, because at least they're going out and doing something.
They're not just trying to whinge and give us stuff.
I mean, that's the litmus test, isn't it?
If they take, as I said, the 64 grand and just spend it all on drugs, then nah, just the same kind of grifters.
But if they go out and build it and all starve to death because they're idiots, yeah, okay.
They've at least got the land, so they've done something towards it.
They're not going to live in it though.
They're all going to go back to their apartments in New York or whatever.
They're not going to stay out there.
I think there's a reason that this mountainous land hasn't been populated.
So, Omar Awad, do you think these Black Hammer kids were raised on Call of Duty since they seem to base their tiers on kill-death ratio?
If they reach their first prestige level, do they get a gold mud hut?
No, gold is bourgeois.
I expect the dictator will get one, so...
Yeah, they do have, like, a dictatorial council as well, which doesn't even...
It was, like, unelected for the first year, and only after a year do they even hold elections in the first place.
It's terrible.
Andy D... If we chip in a few quid, can we send Callum on the Mao level re-education while it's live-streamed just for the lols?
Seriously, it'd be very insightful.
Expose what they're really teaching, and Callum's face would be gold.
I think they'd probably just kill me for being white by the end of the first week, so nah, I'm not going to take that.
If I tell them I'm Jewish, I'm definitely dead, so that's not happening.
I'll donate.
I'll be willing to pay the whole price just to see it.
I mean, if you survive.
Alright, let's do it.
Sending you on the Mao level.
No.
I've got other communist states to visit.
Clayton Ross.
So, Clayton Ross.
They're not banning him for the Capitol riot, they're banning him for winning the 2016 election.
We just have all that comment, Facebook.
But that is, that is...
Well, they can't get him on the riot.
It's done.
Like, this has gone to the Senate, and the political scene, he was acquitted of it.
They're not charging him in the criminal scene, because why would you?
Like, he didn't break the law.
He literally said, peacefully and patriotically, make your voice heard.
They disobeyed Trump's order.
Traitors.
And did that, so...
This is the last place they can really hold out the narrative that he was some kind of revolutionary, I suppose.
It's all ridiculous, really.
I want to destroy the US government, so says the US president.
Not buying it.
Rowan Alcock, honestly, I can do without the kind of scorched earth policy, the most rabid of Democrats in their supporters' practice.
I'm glad they've done me a favour and been honest with the strength of their convictions.
It makes it easier for me to choose who I wish to associate with.
Democrats, don't call me.
I can promise you sincerely, I won't call you.
Good.
I mean, this is the thing.
I've got all the time in the world for people who vote Democrat and aren't really involved in politics that much, but the activist base and the people at the top there, the kind of people who are actively campaigning for the Democrats or actively promoting that kind of tweet in which they're just saying, censor our opponents.
No.
No.
You get no sympathy.
There is no reason anyone should interact with you.
You are just disgusting.
Yeah, pro-sensitive people should never be anything but ostracised.
Give them the treatment that they want to impose upon others.
So, Kelly M. I live in Uxbridge, where he was arrested, and trust me, we need Jesus here.
This would never have happened if he were an Islamic preacher.
Yes, that's exactly what I said.
That's what you need up there, an Islamic preacher.
So he says the police of diversity and tolerance, right?
Religious belief is a protected characteristic unless we dislike your belief.
UK Police 2021.
The UK, free speech capital of the world.
Maybe we should move somewhere less restrictive like China.
I don't know about that, but I get what you're saying.
Do you mean the people who called out COVID in China got gulagged and haven't been seen since?
So I'd still rather live in the UK. Yeah, well, how far behind are we?
We don't have gulags quite yet.
Quite yet, yeah.
Give it a few years.
So we do have the laws to do them.
That's true.
Dougal Fraser.
Sorry if I come across blackpilled on the free speech topic, but I think why people ain't fighting back is for two reasons.
One, social pressure of the left.
Two, so long as people's way of life is not too disturbed, they'll be fine if the government takes away their rights.
Lovely.
Then we can see them all in jail together, can't we?
I mean, when everyone's arrested for being offensive, saying something inappropriate, so on and so forth, I mean, then what?
I mean, we're all going to be guilty of this at some point or another.
So, I mean, that's a white pill there.
I mean, they'll only be affected when they're affected.
Well, okay.
Not going to be long.
People are already being affected, really.
The land of the white people.
I'd love to see the police try and take a Koran away from a Muslim.
Why would they desecrate their own holy book?
You and me both.
Hey guys, yes, that includes Vicky.
Henry Cavill seems to be a nice down-to-earth guy, so when he gets cancelled, would Josh be willing to play Superman?
I'd love to be in a film, so anyone who's got any roles, I'm more than happy.
Do some acting on the side.
Never done it before, but sure.
Justin B. I'd like to guess the lesson of the exploding trees either.
Do not take on more than you can handle, or do your research before acting.
Look before you leap.
That's kind of my impression as well.
Lesson of the day.
don't count your tree demons before they've exploded oh Yenals J. Mollak hey Callum looks like the petition to leave the 1951 Refugee Convention the 1967 Protocol and revoke the Immigration Act has finally passed the 10k signature mark I signed that one, so yeah.
I'll give that a read when the government responds, because it'll be interesting to see that.
Yeah, glad to hear it.
No, we want mass migration.
Oh, do you?
Yeah.
Nice you've said it.
Titchy Potato.
Afternoon, gents.
Do you have any advice on reclaiming friends from the intersectional wormhole?
They lose all standards or consistency, which invalidates their arguments and you give to them that go counter to their worldview.
I might have just misread that, sorry.
Rather similar to Carl and his Keto Sharia.
I think if you have friends who are woke, I've certainly come across this before, Just be a nice person about it.
Don't be too forceful and make them realise that you believe what you believe and it doesn't make you a bad person.
On a human level, that will be what connects with people more than simply arguing your point because if you're getting it into the political discussion side of things, it's just going to become more of a confrontation and you're never going to win there.
So, try and stay away from politics, just make them realise that you are not a bad person, and slowly make them realise that you don't agree with them.
I disagree.
So, the things you do, obviously be nice, the same, rules apply when trying to persuade anyone of any position.
But the thing here, so he's saying, okay, let's just assume you've got all of that, be nice, be polite, blah blah blah blah blah, but when they start saying stuff like, white people deserve to be banned from certain jobs...
Well, if it's that extent, then obviously say something.
He's saying woke stuff.
I mean, that's exactly where you will end up if you go down that rabbit hole.
Point it out, put it in front of them, and say, defend this.
Come on, tell me this is morally right, or is it morally wrong?
And just be like, come on, you've got to pick one.
And then, you know, don't be a dick about it, but just be sure, right, this is where your ideology leads, in which case, what's wrong here?
Tell me why this is wrong.
And they know it's wrong.
And then make them look at themselves.
And then they'll start to reassess, you know, why on earth am I actually buying into that?
Because, yeah, maybe judging people on purely their melanin is a bad idea.
And then if they don't, and they carry on going down that road, well, at least they've seen where they're going.
I think that might be a little bit too confrontational, but it depends on the person, really.
So, Daniel Che.
So, I'm sorry, I probably mispronounced your name.
In Hungary, we have vaccine passports, which means I am now a second-class citizen who can't go into pubs, restaurants and gyms.
It's really frustrating because while I can't express how much I miss my life Do you have any advice for him?
I don't really have much advice for him, personally.
Sorry, friend, but that's a great example.
I mean, thank God we haven't done that, at least, in the UK, and kissed Armourville people being the defender of Britishness.
Yeah, the fact that it came down to him as well is annoying.
But that's it.
I mean, that's the result of saying, oh no, we'll just have vaccine passports, everything will be fine.
It's like...
Nope, nope, this is Chinese social engineering, whether you like it or not.
Like, I agree, vaccine good, you know, does its job, blah, blah, blah, but that does not mean you can start forcing it on people or they have their, you know, rights taken away from them.
It's wrong.
Obviously, I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you, but I think perhaps maybe they'll go away eventually when COVID stops being a problem.
Maybe a decent portion of the population is vaccinated and therefore the need will disappear for vaccine passports.
Nope.
I don't know what the rules are in Hungary, but I imagine that at least you can probably still hang out with your friends.
So if you've got a mate who's got a house or perhaps a shed that's pretty big, just set up your own pub in there.
I mean, it's cheaper.
You'll get more food and more drink for the same price.
It's like the libertarian argument.
Just make your own part.
Yeah, literally just build your own.
I mean, you've got houses or an apartment, I assume, so just have your mates around instead.
Sure, you'll get bored of them, but you can always kick them out.
You're the landlord.
But on the end of that, we'll end this here.
So thank you for tuning in.
Go and check out the Academic Agent review that's at 3 o'clock on LotusEars.com and also the Voice of Wales interview when we have it up on LotusEars.com.
But otherwise, we will see you tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
Thank you and goodbye.
