	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 11th of June 2021.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	And today we're going to be talking about Biden at the G7 and the cringe that has come out of that.
	So also the parents rising up against critical race theory, which is inspiring to see in the United States.
	I wish there was more of it in the UK, to be honest.
	And also that women can exist.
	Congratulations!
	According to the British government.
	You've been allowed.
	Allowed to exist, ladies.
	You've been deemed, yes, okay, that's fine.
	Women can be women.
	You've got to understand, right?
	My only interest in this is because if they take away women, I'm no longer a misogynist.
	So, you know, joking.
	Spoil your own identity.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Obviously, I'm not a misogynist.
	It's just that's what I get called when I criticise feminism.
	Anyway, so without further ado, I just wanted to plug a couple of things first.
	So first, the Grimes Eternal Dystopia of Plenty video, which is the direct video you did for the lotuses.com channel, so go and give that a check out if you haven't already.
	Glad how well it's doing, but also the content I think is good.
	Here's what real communism looks like, you know, real communism, not utopia of plenty, and it sounds awful.
	Yeah, it does.
	Sounds like it's going to destroy what it is to be a human being.
	And so, yeah.
	That's the point in even living.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I suppose that's the end goal of communism, though.
	Everyone dead.
	So the next thing I wanted to say was just that we're hiring.
	Literally the goal.
	Well, it's what keeps happening.
	Well, that's true.
	That's true, yeah.
	Well, you know, take their word for it.
	So, I just wanted to mention that we're hiring video content presenters.
	So, if you're wanting to present or you'd like a job in presenting here, then please apply.
	Please have a degree in something relevant, you know, a specialist subject that might be useful.
	Yeah, any...
	It doesn't have to be anything that's, like, directly useful.
	You know, sort of, like, law, media, you know, like, social studies, whatever it is, you know.
	So, just...
	You know, we're looking for people who are authorities on something.
	But of course, the provisors, you have to work from the office.
	And I think we'll be able to...
	I mean, we've been growing really, really well, actually.
	So thank you to everyone who signed up at lowseeds.com.
	But I think we'll be able to provide a relatively competitive salary.
	So just what that is, is essentially like coming in, writing down, researching what we're going to talk about, and then talk about so on and so forth.
	Yes.
	Pretty standard.
	More importantly, I think this is a good place to work, isn't it?
	Yeah, it's fine.
	You have to say that.
	Just a gun to my head.
	What are you going to say?
	No, this is shit.
	Sorry, I didn't mean to swear that.
	But yeah, we're looking for good and interesting people who want to say something, who've got something they want to say.
	That, I think, is the important thing.
	So the last thing I wanted to mention is also Bo's written an article at loadersethers.com, which is free, so go and give that a check out.
	It's about the reality of aliens, because, I mean, it's getting kind of weird now, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	What is it, Bill Clinton or Al Gore?
	One of them came out the other day and said he actually believes that, yeah, there probably are aliens out there.
	There have been loads.
	There have been absolutely loads.
	Like, what is it?
	Buzz Aldrin was like, there's a weird monolith on Phobos, one of the moons of Mars.
	It's like, okay, Buzz.
	Thanks.
	But what's that got to do with the price of fish?
	And he's like, wow, who put that there?
	Who knows?
	It's like...
	This is more about the leaks coming up.
	Well, not leaks.
	The releases from the Pentagon.
	Things like the Tic Tac incident and whatnot.
	Yeah.
	There have been loads and loads of, I guess we'll call them disclosures.
	And I just want to say, I don't want aliens.
	Bo and myself were going to record a podcast after this about this.
	But the thing is, there's a report coming out next week, so we've postponed it until after that's come out to see what was in that to add to the talk.
	But basically, I'm on the position that I don't want to meet aliens.
	I don't know why anyone does, because if the people in the New World meeting the Spanish is anything to go by, it's not going to end well for the people who meet the newcomers.
	So I'm an anti-alien action.
	I'm very much against it.
	I don't know.
	I mean, what if it's, like, you know, dinosaurs or just animals, you know, bacteria and whatnot?
	Oh, yeah, okay, fine.
	As long as we're the superior ones.
	Yeah, I meant sentient races.
	Yeah, I mean, if they're superior to us, we're screwed.
	Yeah, I'd like to see an alien dinosaur or something, at least on the Discovery Channel, but, like, you know, I don't really want, like, you know, intelligent aliens coming down and being like, hi, we've got some brand new ideas for you that you're gonna love.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so let's get right into it.
	So Biden did the G7. So Biden and a bunch of other leaders are meeting at the G7 in Cornwall.
	Don't really give a toss about these kind of things normally because it's usually just they all get together, shake each other's hands and go, good job, chaps.
	And everyone goes home.
	So, one of the things here that is really notable about this one, though, is the cringe.
	There is a lot of cringe.
	So this is the first thing here, Boris Johnson posting on Twitter, I've arrived in Cornwall for this year's G7, where I'll be asking the fellow leaders to rise to the challenge of beating the pandemic and building back better, fairer and greener.
	And if you scroll down, you can see him arriving by plane in a country where he could have got the train.
	But, alright.
	This was an easy win for all of the leftists who hate the Conservatives.
	They're like, he flew to Cornwall.
	For a greener future.
	Yeah, for a greener future.
	I don't give a toss about any of this stuff.
	But, yeah, not great optics.
	Also, the Bill Bagbeth, the phrase there, routinely used.
	Yeah, the Davos dog whistle.
	Anyway, those are the memes coming out of all this.
	So if we go to the next one, this is just Lawrence Fox posting a meme of Joe Biden giving Boris Johnson the sniff, which I'm sure he's being careful to avoid.
	So if we go to the next one, this is just the Build Back Better slogan being used again.
	So at the G7 Summit, Britain will work alongside our kindred Democrats.
	Sorry, democracies to hashtag Build Back Better.
	Just to be clear, this Build Back Better phrase, you can see it everywhere in a bunch of world leaders who I guess you could just describe as globalists.
	I mean, if you go to buildbackbetter.com, it's a Joe Biden campaign website.
	So this is very clearly part of some kind of international organization.
	It's like an international phrase that's being used.
	If we go to the next one, this is just a similar thing here.
	It's a pleasure to welcome you to Cornwall.
	Mr.
	President, together we are going to build back better from this pandemic, help vaccinate the world, and make 2021 a decisive moment in the fight against climate change.
	Then the next one is, using the phrase again, together we will hashtag buildbackbetter with a picture of him and Biden, I don't know, arm bumping?
	I don't even know what you'd call that.
	Hobo bumping?
	Yeah.
	Um, just, I mean, regardless of all the other stuff, cringe.
	Just cringe, like, stop using this phrase.
	It reminds me of Theresa May and strong and stable, which was just a complete mistake.
	There's nothing inspiring about it.
	There's nothing that makes me want to believe in it.
	I mean, get Brexit done, that's a good phrase, because it's like, right, get me elected and I'll do that.
	At least it was straightforward.
	But build back better, I mean, it's sort of like saying the country's broken and now we're going to fix it.
	It was like, well, who broke it then?
	As well.
	Like, you're the ones who have been in charge.
	And you're the ones who did the lockdown.
	So, I mean, I'd avoid that if I were them, but...
	It looks like they're trying to ingratiate themselves into this order that's being created above us, across the entire world.
	But anyway, so there's some more cringe.
	Yeah, Joe Biden turned up in a love jacket, which is really cringe.
	Obviously, this is a...
	Because in 2018, Melania Trump turned up in a jacket that read, I don't care, on the back.
	I thought you were going to say she turned up with a jacket that just said hate.
	I mean...
	No, she turned up with a jacket that said indifference, basically.
	But it's, again, just cringe.
	Just a jacket with love on.
	And all of the sort of people, I guess we'll call them the media leftists, were just like, oh, isn't this inspiring?
	It's like, no.
	No, it's totally empty and totally hollow, just like everything else about Biden's presidency.
	But the thing is, she posted a picture of herself on Twitter, preparing, if we can see the picture, John.
	This, like, prepping for the G7. It's like, what...
	Who elected you?
	The answer is nobody.
	Like, is she reading up on all the other ladies?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, exactly.
	What's Carrie's favourite kind of dress or something?
	I mean, what is she doing there?
	What official capacity does she have?
	And this has made a lot of people obviously speculate.
	Well, is she the one kind of...
	Being the president?
	And the answer is no, it's obviously Kamala.
	But the point is, the reason this matters is because there have been reports from people, credible people, from the inside that Jack Posobiec has tweeted out.
	Who have basically said that Joe Biden seems to kind of be out to lunch.
	Can we get the next one up, John?
	So yeah, this is comments from a Labour Party member, apparently, saying, at least Trump was attentive is a general consensus among the Labour Party right now.
	This is also new to him, hard for him to keep up with everything.
	Note cards have been completely useless.
	You don't even want to know what the Tory leadership is saying.
	Now, I mean, these are unnamed officials that say, you know, Take it with a pinch of salt, as all of these unnamed official leaks are.
	But there's generally a grain of truth to all of them, because the staffers working on the inside can't really keep their mouths shut.
	Every other time Biden goes anywhere, you get the same kind of sentiment, which is, this guy's a duttering, useless old man.
	So, I mean, I'm not surprised if it would be the case.
	Yeah, and so no wonder Jill Biden has to do so much preparation because the leader of the free world is permanently out to lunch.
	And we even know where he's out to lunch because the people who would be reporting on this are getting kicked off their tables.
	Sorry, John, I had to put this in because this is all quite breaking stuff.
	But the Daily Mail reported that two BBC journalists were actually booted off their dinner table to make wait for Biden and Jill.
	Sorry, you can't say it.
	Why?
	Well, we've decided that Joe Biden's going to sit here.
	What?
	But we have this table.
	That's not my problem.
	We're from the BBC. Yeah, that's the problem.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's why.
	North American editor John Sopal and newsgathering producer Morgan Minard lost their seats at the place in Cornwall that they're staying.
	And the next thing as well is, in complete alignment with the idiocy and hypocrisy of flying to Cornwall, To complain about climate change.
	A bunch of trees were cleared from around the area to build a new venue for the summit.
	Very environmentally friendly.
	Hacking down trees.
	So that you can all take planes from across the world and spend all this time polluting just to agree that polluting is bad.
	Like couldn't have done a Zoom call?
	Couldn't have done a Zoom call.
	Had to be in person.
	I don't really give a toss about the climate change debate.
	It's so infuriating to hear these kind of people lecture you on it.
	Oh yeah, exactly.
	I don't want to be lectured on it by these sorts of people, even though you're right, I don't care either, to be honest.
	But yeah, the funniest bit about this, though, was Mount Trashmore.
	What?
	Mount...
	Oh, sorry, they call it Mount Recyclemore.
	That's a pathetic PR right there.
	It is.
	A massive sculpture of the faces in the Mount Rushmore style, made out of rubbish.
	All of this rubbish.
	Is this like Greenpeace activism making fun of everyone there?
	Not making fun.
	It's an endorsement.
	This was made opposite the G7, so they'll all be able to see this very attractive sculpture of Angela Merkel made out of rubbish, as well as one of Johnson and Macron and all of the other world leaders there.
	Which, I mean, I would have, if I'd had the initiative, done this as an insult.
	Yeah, that's why I thought it was Greenpeace activism.
	They were like, you guys are trash.
	Yes!
	Exactly!
	You guys are absolute garbage.
	And I've made a giant sculpture that you're going to have to look at while you're here to prove it.
	But no, this is apparently complimentary.
	I mean, the Merkel one just looks hideous.
	And the Merkel one isn't exactly flattering, is it?
	So, yeah.
	But anyway, the whole point of...
	It's so disgusting, isn't it?
	And what's going to happen to all of this when they leave?
	Is it going to be cleaned up properly or is it just going to be left there to fester?
	It's going to be made like a memorial or something.
	No one can touch the trash, isn't it?
	Exactly.
	Look, we've got just the ugliest thing in the world.
	Again, it looks openly disrespectful.
	Just saying.
	Anyway, so the whole point of this really is because Biden is pushing a global tax plan.
	That he wants the entire world to abide by.
	So they want a global minimum corporation tax of at least 15% and update the international tax laws for globalized digital economy.
	So basically, they are creating the one world tax system.
	Hang on, what?
	Global minimum tax?
	So I assume this isn't going to be payable to anyone.
	We should all agree the minimum should be 15.
	Yeah, and so what this is to make sure of is, of course, so Britain, say, can't undercut the European Union by saying, well, we'll start off 10% or something like that, so companies are more encouraged to come to us.
	I'm not even saying it's necessarily a bad idea.
	I just really hate the people doing it.
	No, I think it's a bad idea.
	I really love the idea that you can have countries all competing with each other down to 0% in tax.
	Sure, you get places like Guernsey or whatever that do that, but I'm not pro-tax in general anyway.
	Well, yeah, generally I'm anti-tax.
	And moreover, I'm kind of free market.
	So if there are lots of competing countries and they have their own different sort of tax plans, A, that's a Diversity of things.
	I'm pro-diversity, famously.
	And the point is, yeah, it allows things to be different in other places.
	This is just like the homogenization of the world in order to impose Joe Biden's view on things.
	And I just kind of hate it.
	But it's not like it's Joe Biden who's the author of all of this.
	This will have come from Davos.
	And it's part of the giant juggernaut that's taking over the world.
	But yeah, so it's basically that.
	I don't want to go into it too much because it's actually really, really boring.
	But Biden's administration has described this as a foreign policy for the middle class, which I find suspect.
	How does that help the middle class?
	I don't know.
	Tax.
	Taxing the middle class helps the middle class.
	Well, he really is big brain, isn't he?
	Well, I mean, he doesn't explain it because he doesn't have to, because there's absolutely no one who's going to hold him to account for any of this.
	But basically, yeah, it would end the practice of global corporations seeking out low-tax jurisdictions, like Ireland, the British Virgin Islands, to move their headquarters to, even though their customers, operations, and executives are located elsewhere.
	And the thing is, like I said, I'm not even against this.
	Like, I don't even think that's a bad idea.
	I just really don't trust the people who are enacting it.
	So...
	I don't know why you can't just rewrite the law to be like, we will take the corporation tax on your earnings within this country, rather than wherever your goddamn headquarters is.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure that someone will be able to fill us in on that.
	But yeah, so the G7 countries are presumably going to adopt this proposal.
	All of the reporting I saw on it was like, yeah, this is going to happen, which it undoubtedly is.
	You don't go to all of this great effort to bring everyone to Cornwall.
	Impose yourselves on the poor people of St.
	Ives.
	And I've been to St.
	Ives.
	It's not a big place.
	I used to live in Cornwall.
	And it's a nice place.
	And I saw that they were, you know, shutting down a bunch of roads and, you know, loads of roadblocks and all this sort of stuff.
	And I'm like, oh, God, these poor people are just, like, living their lives.
	It's like, by the way, the International Power Elite have come here to just occupy your, not even a city, it's a town, for, like, a week or something.
	So get used to not being able to do any of the things you normally do.
	Suck it.
	Also, we're building a giant mountain of trash and we're cutting down all these trees and we don't want to hear from you, so be quiet.
	Isn't this why we developed London?
	Exactly for these kinds of meetings?
	So then we don't have to deal with it?
	But London is ugly as sin.
	Yeah, it is.
	Don't want to take people to London.
	It's gross.
	Biden might get stabbed as well.
	Well, I don't think Joe Biden's going to be the victim of a stabbing in London.
	But yeah, so once they adopt this, they're going to propose it to the G20 nations, which include China, India, Brazil, and Russia.
	People sign up to it and then ignore it.
	Exactly.
	They will give it lip service and then do what the hell they like.
	But yeah, so the details have yet to be handed out, and obviously some of the other countries keep their corporate tax rates low to encourage business across, but it's probably going to pass.
	But Rishi Sunak is trying to carve out an exemption for the City of London, and I imagine this is going to be Not just for the City of London, but this is the major holding point because, of course, the City of London plays by different rules to the rest of the UK because they're special, I guess.
	But, of course, this is to protect Britain's position as a global financial hub in the corollary of Brexit, basically.
	How are we going to out-compete the Europeans?
	Well, we're going to lower our taxes, which makes sense.
	It's very competitive.
	You can't do that.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You can't do that because that means that Europe isn't very competitive.
	Well, you said it, not me.
	But this is the point.
	Obviously, he's going to be pushing hard for this.
	Whether he gets it or not, who knows?
	But this seems to be what the major issue is.
	Of course, there is another issue.
	That's the Irish question.
	I thought it would be the French question.
	No, no, actually, no, no.
	Nothing about the French has come up yet, as far as I'm aware, although I'm sure it will, after Macron recovers from his slap.
	Honestly, I would have been more annoyed about it.
	If I were Macron, you've got to at least try and strike back.
	It doesn't matter even if there's a weedy punch or you miss or something like that, but just, like, fainting like a woman, it's like, no, no, no, you've got to...
	John Prescott, you've got to.
	I bet his ratings went down as well after that.
	But yeah, so Joe Biden accuses Boris Johnson of inflaming tensions over Northern Ireland because of Brexit.
	Joe Biden, a famous hater of Britain and a publicly Irish person, politically Irish person, should I say.
	I love that idea of being a publicly Irish person.
	Keep it to yourself.
	Be Irish in your bedrooms.
	Stand by it.
	Yeah, I don't disavow.
	I'm obviously just kidding.
	But yeah, so this has been something that is going to flare up more, doubtless, because Biden has, ever since Brexit, he's been waffling on about Ireland and Like anyone cares.
	But Boris has come out and said that the UK-US relationship is indestructible.
	Which...
	Is it, though?
	I mean, I don't want the UK-US relationship to break up, but I kind of hate who's in charge of the US at the moment.
	And it just strikes me that if...
	I'm not going to go.
	Let's get him in trouble if I go down that road.
	Right, so yeah, anyway, he claims to have had terrific talks with Biden, which is surprising.
	I'm surprised Biden wasn't just like, ugh, a Britisher.
	But yeah, no, apparently it all went fine.
	Biden keeps whining about Northern Ireland, but hopefully Boris holds the line on that one.
	And so yeah, that was about it, apart from what Theresa May said that was remarkably based on Yeah, Theresa May gave a speech earlier this morning that was unbelievably based.
	I don't know if she's been listening to the podcast or what.
	The next thing here is just Richard Tice for coming out and endorsing Theresa May on this.
	Wow.
	Richard Tice, one of the founders of the Brexit party.
	Yeah, so rarely do I agree with Theresa May, but on this, she is right.
	Global Britain is closed for business as we fail to take advantage of our vaccine success, due to the government's deliberately moving goalposts.
	So the government here keeps deciding that now we can't open up because this reason, and then this reason, and then that reason, and it's pathetic.
	The models don't permit it.
	Oh god, can we consult the auspices again?
	We'll open up the lamb's liver and be like, oh god, what do the models say now?
	No, the models say no.
	You have to delay for another month, or whatever it is.
	Indeed, what we have is a devastated industry, jobs lost, and global Britain shut for business.
	More than not being any further forward, we have gone backwards.
	We now have over 50% of the adult population vaccinated, a wonderful programme, yet we are more restricted on travel than we were last year.
	Last year in 2020 I went to Switzerland in August, South Korea in September, there was no vaccine, travel was possible.
	This year there is a vaccine, travel is not possible.
	I really don't understand the stance the government is taking.
	Of course, it is permissible to travel to countries on the amber list, provided it's practicable for you to quarantine when you come back.
	But government ministers tell people that they mustn't travel.
	They can't go on holiday to places on the amber list.
	The messaging is mixed and the system chaotic.
	Portugal was put on the green list, people went to the football, then Portugal was put on the amber list.
	We will not eradicate COVID-19 from the UK. There will not be a time when we can say that there will never be another case of COVID-19 in this country.
	Secondly, variants will keep on coming.
	There will be new variants every year.
	If the Government's position is that we cannot open up travel until there are no new variants elsewhere in the world, then we will never be able to travel abroad ever again.
	And the third fact that the Government needs to state much more clearly It's incomprehensible, I think, that one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world is one that is most reluctant to give its citizens the freedoms those vaccinations should support.
	Theresa May just answered with memento mori.
	Yeah, literally.
	Get lost about like, oh yeah, but some people might die.
	People die every day.
	That's not an argument.
	20,000 people, as she points out, die every year from flu.
	Therefore, if your argument is if people are dying from COVID, we can never open up, then nope, we can never open up because 20,000 people die from flu.
	But also, if your other argument, as she mentioned about moving in the goalposts all the time, is that, oh no, but there's a new variant, you know, the Delta variant.
	There will always be new variants.
	There will be a South Korean variant and a goddamn Chinese variant, another one and some other nonsense.
	This is never going to end, if that's your position.
	And this needs to stop.
	Although I'm in no delusions about this, because she mentions that, you know, I was able to go on holiday to, what was it, Austria and South Korea?
	Switzerland or something.
	So in my mind, I'm sort of thinking, like, maybe she's just looking at going on holiday and she's like, damn.
	Well, maybe, but that's good enough for me.
	I'll take it.
	I'll take it.
	Let's go.
	But base Theresa May.
	I'll side with her.
	Yeah, I'd like to go abroad sometime in the future.
	Thousand years as well.
	Very, very good.
	Well done, Theresa.
	Yeah, good Theresa May.
	So base Theresa May, Cringe Johnson, which wasn't...
	Strange turnaround.
	God, yeah.
	That's what a year and two will do to you.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, well, I guess we'll talk about the American parents rising up against critical race theory.
	So we have plenty of examples of this nonsense that has really become a major issue in the American education system in the past few months.
	And the good men at Mythicist Milwaukee have been doing a fantastic job combing through all of the...
	Publicly broadcast meetings that nobody else wants to watch because they're two hours long and it's a Zoom call of parents and teachers talking about lots of other normal boring things and then they get to the critical race theory bit.
	So they've been clipping all of these bits out very usefully.
	And all the critical race theory is usually very boring as well.
	Yes.
	Because it's so not at school.
	But it's not just that, there's also public lectures available.
	So this is the first example I wanted to give of this kind of thing.
	So you can see that post here.
	Penn State professor brings a black and white student in front of a large lecture.
	He says that they earn the same degrees.
	They're not effing equal based on their skin color alone.
	That's education.
	This is American education here.
	Anti-racism.
	Yeah.
	I like how he calls it neo-racism.
	That's a great way of putting it.
	But if we go to the first clip here, this is exactly what happened.
	How is it to know that you're walking around with that kind of benefit?
	That kind of affirmative action.
	Well, like, I don't want to...
	I mean, like...
	I guess this could be all tied into, like, the idea of, like, white privilege and everything.
	And I guess it's just, like...
	I mean, like, I don't think it should be true.
	Like, it's kind of...
	It's crazy.
	Like, I don't really know what to think of it, but, like...
	It's just, it is what it, like, I don't know.
	I don't want to say it is what it is, but like...
	You're gonna shake the hand, and then you're gonna get the degree, and you're gonna like, yeah!
	And your parents are gonna cheer, or whatever, and you're gonna have this degree, and you're gonna think, oh yeah, I fully earned the degree.
	I got it.
	Miles is gonna walk across the stage, And he's going to have the same thing.
	He's going to get the degree and shake a hand and go like, yeah!
	And his family's going to cheer.
	And everyone's going to be like, you're going to be at graduation and you're going to assume that these two guys are equal.
	And they're f***ing not equal.
	It's not.
	We are not there, my friends.
	We are not there.
	God, that is awful.
	And this isn't just like he's got them up for two minutes to demonstrate his racism, but this is an hour-long lecture, and if you watch it yourself, like, he has them up for the full hour, just berating this white kid.
	Listen, white kid, you're a bad person, and black kid, you're inferior.
	Like, just be aware that even though you've got the degree, you're inferior.
	That's so horrible.
	American education.
	I mean, like, this is a university.
	I didn't know it was this bad, but, like, really, is there any point to an American university if this is what it is?
	Yeah, but this guy's just openly promoting a genuinely racist viewpoint, and he's just hammering into the black kid's head, look, you're inferior, you're unequal, these people are superior to you, remember that, because you're black.
	And that is literally, like, pre-war slavery.
	I mean, in the UK, we'd call this racial harassment.
	I mean, this is actually on the books.
	If you did this to someone, presumably the other way around because of how the police are partisan here, then it would be racial harassment or racial abuse, and you'd be struck off.
	But in America, that's considered education, which...
	Well, it just strikes me as just open abuse.
	Open abuse.
	And you can go watch the full thing if you want.
	We've got a link here.
	This is, what is it called here?
	An innovative sociology course taught by Dr.
	Sam Richards at Pennsylvania State University.
	Right.
	So a racist who should be fired from his job.
	So that's what sociology is in America.
	But thankfully, we said from the very start, this is not just going to stay in academia, and of course it hasn't, and it's everywhere now, and national governments are struggling with this.
	But it's also gone down through the American school system.
	And thankfully, after not too long of this being very public, parents all across the United States are rising up against critical race theory.
	And I think we should just salute them very briefly because they are doing a fantastic job.
	So this is one example from North Florida.
	And this is what a parent called Samantha Maria says.
	Critical race...
	So when they have these board discussions where the parents come in and say, look, we really hate critical race theory.
	there's a real problem with it.
	Critical race theory does not only go against Martin Luther King's dream of a future in which children are not judged by the color of their skin, but the content of the character, but also goes in direct conflict of Christianity.
	Luna Lopez, who identifies as half black and the daughter of immigrants, says the society I grew up in demanded equality, not equity for my people.
	It taught me to be a contributing member to society, all under the belief that I was the same as everyone else.
	I was just as capable as any white person.
	Critical race theory teaches our children that black and brown people are incapable of achieving things that white people can because of their race.
	We'll refer back to that racist professor who was saying that the black man was subbed below the white man.
	Again, not my opinion, his opinion.
	Disgraceful.
	But so, bravo to these parents.
	Then we go to El Paso, which is Colorado or something.
	But this is a parent speaking to a board meeting on May the 6th.
	Critical race theory only heightens racism.
	It is teaching children to hate.
	It's teaching children to hate themselves.
	It's teaching children to hate others.
	And again, going back to that clip that you showed at the beginning, the white kid is just up there going, well, I don't know.
	And there have been many examples of young children coming home crying because they've been essentially racially abused for being white.
	And I can't imagine doing anything good for the morale of the non-white kids in the class.
	Why they're making these distinctions at all is beyond me.
	We shouldn't be talking about race in the school setting.
	I mean, imagine going to a school, a place of learning, and they just abuse you about your race all day.
	It's mad.
	It's absolutely mad.
	But this is how far it's gone, and now it's just in regular local schools, right?
	So the next one is in Chandler, Arizona, where a bunch of parents were – we didn't get any quotes from this one, unfortunately – but parents were showing up to speak their minds, some of them even carrying protest signs.
	They worry about the school curriculums being threatened by an outside force.
	But the districts targeted have said they've got no plans to change the curriculum.
	So you're going to have to keep that pressure up.
	Parents, keep protesting.
	Keep going down there.
	Keep giving them peace of your mind.
	And if it comes to it, pull your kids out of their schools.
	Don't send them to schools where they're going to be indoctrinated with critical race theory.
	There was a great, really great one.
	This one woman was an immigrant from China.
	She had escaped Mao.
	She's in her 50s or 60s now.
	And she has some absolutely fantastic things to say about this.
	This is Zee Van Fleet.
	And she told the Lunden County School board members, I've been very alarmed about what's going on in our schools.
	You are now teaching, training our children to be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and our history.
	She likened critical race theory, which critics derived as a form of neo-racism, to China's cultural revolution, a Maoist purge that left half a million to 20 million people dead from 66-76.
	She says, to me and a lot of Chinese, it is heartbreaking that we escaped communism and now we experience communism here.
	The communist regime used the same critical theory to divide people.
	The only difference is they used class instead of race.
	We were taught to denounce our heritage.
	The Red Guards destroyed anything that was not communist, statues, books, and anything else.
	We were also encouraged to report on each other, just like the Student Equity Ambassador Program and the bias reporting system.
	This is indeed an American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
	The critical race theory has its roots in cultural Marxism.
	It should have no place in our school.
	What have we been saying this whole time?
	But great on there, being able to just lay it all out.
	Yeah.
	That's fantastic.
	Yeah.
	And the response to this, I mean, like they said in the previous one, the people running it have no intention of changing.
	And one principal of a Desert Valley Elementary School in Glendale, Arizona, again, this is how local this has become.
	It's not just in Yale or Harvard.
	No, this is your local children's elementary school.
	Tonya Neve received criticism because the Young America Foundation obtained her emails through a public record request.
	And she had written, The board meeting was ridiculous.
	I'm sick of us giving these wackos a platform to spread propaganda without any correction statements.
	She's talking about the parents who are objecting to critical race theory here.
	As if she's not the wacko spreading propaganda without any correction statements.
	But also, it's a bored meeting.
	You could respond if you wanted to.
	But you can't, because you know you're in the wrong here.
	That's the thing.
	What are you going to say?
	What are you going to say?
	No, it's not real racism, you filthy white.
	How do you think that's going to go?
	It's awful.
	It's just absolutely awful.
	I mean, it's so degrading.
	To the non-white kids, as well as the white kids.
	You know, it's degrading to all of them.
	Sit there and go, right, okay, so I'm going to chop you up into your races.
	Let me tell you the superior race.
	Let me tell the inferior race.
	Let me tell you how you should feel about being in the inferior race.
	And even if you get your degree, you're not equal.
	I can't stand it.
	I can't stand it.
	This is the total antithesis of how I think a society should be run.
	I don't think there should be any reference to race at all, and if they both get their degrees, then we should think about them as being equal, and I think that would translate into wider society, where I think people do genuinely not want to be racist.
	I mean, you'd hope.
	I'm such a relic, aren't I? Of the 90s.
	But that's the thing.
	I love how you can see it in the parents, though.
	Like, the parents are universally, like, when this is brought up to them.
	No, no, no, no.
	Like, we want you to be, you know, non-racist.
	Not just white parents.
	Just to be clear, you know, white, black, Asian, wherever.
	In fact, the critical race theorists are overwhelmingly white, higher educated.
	There we go.
	There we go.
	Sorry, something to keep in mind.
	But I like how they're of the MLK position, and then all the critical race theorists are in the neo-racist position.
	Yeah, MLK was wrong.
	Critical race theory 2021.
	You filthy non-white, you just don't understand.
	Know your place.
	That's essentially her sentiment here, which is like, you're bringing this propaganda in.
	It's like, no, you and your education is the propaganda here.
	Did you grow up in your small town thinking MLK was a bigot?
	Yeah.
	But that's the point, isn't it?
	If they didn't drag these two kids up in front of the class and tell them what the racial hierarchy was in the mind of the white professor, they wouldn't think it.
	They have to indoctrinate them into it because it's just not natural.
	They just think, okay, well, these are just my classmates.
	We're all in the same class.
	We're all doing the same degree.
	We're all going to go out and compete for the same jobs.
	We're just normal people.
	And all the parents are just like, we're just normal people.
	Stop brainwashing my kids.
	But I love that.
	You get these arguments, you know, America's a racist country, blah, blah, blah.
	And the stock cultural malaise in which everyone lives is the race isn't important, we should be treated equally.
	Yeah.
	That's, okay.
	And then the left come on.
	That was the dream.
	Yeah.
	We are living in the dream.
	It resonated with everyone.
	Exactly, right?
	Like, this was the golden thing everyone was fighting for, and you've got that, you've got it.
	Yeah.
	And the critical racer is like, hmm, not on my watch.
	Yeah.
	Like, let's destroy it.
	Anyway, so the last thing here is Mythicist Milwaukee again posting some other person speaking out against this.
	So, a Mexican and, I don't know how you say that.
	Athabascan?
	Mother speaks against critical race theory at her district.
	Meanwhile, over 50% of its students are not proficient in English, math, and science.
	As a licensed counselor, she also shares her concerns on the psychological impact masks are having on its children.
	But the first part there, I think, is the most important bit.
	Like, they're busy indoctrinating kids into critical race theory, whilst 50% of the kids are not literate in English, math, and science.
	Like, the core things, the whole purpose of education, if you're going to advocate for kids going to school, teach them English, teach them math, teach them science.
	Not if you are actually a revolutionary engaging in a cultural revolution.
	These things are not very important, but what is important is political orthodoxy.
	Again, as the Chinese immigrant mother pointed out, and brilliantly so, honestly, Xi Van Fleet, she gave such, and I only took part of her statement because obviously it went on for much longer, but she gave such a thorough demolition.
	And I've said this before, it looks just like the Cultural Revolution in China.
	You know, all of the old has to be destroyed because it's problematic, it's counter-revolutionary, and then turning people upon themselves.
	I mean, the teacher is literally like, black and white, you're different, and one's inferior.
	Get used to it.
	You couldn't get it any more clearly defined.
	I also love how she lays it out into the system that I've been getting from Tick, the YouTuber who works perfectly, which is...
	You've got the Marxists, it's socialism for the workers, so that's Mahmoud not doing that there as well.
	And then you've got the fascists, which is socialism for the nation, and the Nazis, which is socialism for the race.
	And you've got the workers who come along just like, no, we can do it for everything.
	We can do it for race, gender, blah, blah, blah.
	Full-spectrum racism.
	But when she's saying the Cultural Revolution was along class lines, and then you've changed it now so you're doing it along race and gender lines, exactly.
	That works perfectly with that summation of what the wokers really are.
	And the more that keeps fitting, I think that's the right way to look at it, which is they are just combining Nazism, you know, Soviet Union socialism, and the fascist socialism, and then that's what they come up with when they're an ideology.
	And yeah, that's awful.
	Like, why would you want any of this?
	Anywhere near a school system in the liberal democratic West.
	I mean, if you're a liberal, you of course don't, but I suppose if you're a socialist, then all of these other inferior forms of socialism that failed, I guess we're going to go big or go home, isn't it?
	We're a full-spectrum socialism now.
	We're going to socialise literally...
	Intersectional.
	It goes across all lines.
	Every aspect of every person's life is going to be socialised.
	Any possible identity you could have.
	I hate it.
	Anyway...
	Let's continue discussing how intersectional beliefs are destroying the West because it turns out that Britain is a deeply reactionary country because women are allowed to exist.
	Good news, women!
	you haven't been abolished by the british state quite yet don't worry there's always next year yeah well i mean well obviously you can't stop progress you can just slow it down a bit um but yeah so this this is essentially turfs uh not being criminalized yet although this will inevitably happen and they've been deplatformed from absolutely everywhere anyway so you know it's just one step away from total abolition but um but yeah so this this was a lady called maya for starter and she what would she do exactly
	she was on a oh she was on a think tank and uh they refused to renew her contract because she thought that men were male and women were female that's where we are Big think.
	Big think.
	Like, how much thinking did it take to get to that position?
	Yeah.
	She was accused of using offensive and exclusionary language in tweets.
	Big crime.
	Opposing government proposals, which were shelved later, to reform the Gender Recognition Act to allow people to self-identify as a particular gender.
	The panel was led by...
	That's part of what she was accused of?
	Yes.
	Opposing government proposals?
	Yes.
	She tweeted about it in the wrong way.
	LAUGHTER How dare you oppose progress?
	Yeah.
	But this was, and you may remember, we covered this a few weeks ago, because a Mr.
	Justice Chowdhury upheld her appeal because the tribunal that she had gone to said that Forstarters' views were not worthy of respect in a democratic society.
	The idea that men are biologically male and women are biologically female was not worthy of respect.
	And so Justice Chowdhury is like, eh, hang on.
	Lunatics!
	What's wrong with that, exactly?
	It's not worthy of respect to the leftists.
	I guess not.
	But to a democratic society?
	But then neither is racial equality.
	Neither is the humanity of black people, it appears.
	But anyway, yeah, so she had lost her job at the think tank because she had claimed that her belief that People can't change their biological sex was a protective philosophical belief and the judge had opposed it.
	She appealed and Judge Chattery was like, well, it is a philosophical belief and she should be able to hold it.
	He said both beliefs may well be profoundly offensive and even distressing to many others.
	Who cares?
	But that's where we are.
	That's where we are.
	Literally, men are male.
	That's a profoundly offensive and distressing belief.
	But British law is such a mess.
	We're arguing about whether this belief can be allowed.
	It's not even the law, it's the political landscape.
	Of the entire West.
	I mean, look at what they're debating in the American school system.
	Look at what their professors are doing.
	Look at where we are now.
	Like, Liz Truss, yes, women have vaginas.
	Well, not all of them, Liz.
	Have you considered that?
	Joe Swenson, Define Woman.
	It's just that they've got nothing.
	I mean, at least in the Americas, you don't have people arguing, like, this opinion should be illegal, so says the judge.
	Like, here we have judges saying this.
	Yeah, I suppose.
	Small mercies.
	But yeah, so he says, yeah, these beliefs will be profoundly offensive and even distressing to many others, but they are beliefs that are and must be tolerated in a pluralist society.
	Which is true.
	Only in a totalitarian society would you be unable to hold a different belief.
	But I love how these ones are okay.
	Which ones aren't okay, then?
	Well, Nazism or totalitarianism, incidentally.
	Okay, you can't hold those beliefs in Britain.
	Yeah, the panel said...
	That's what a free country looks like.
	Yeah, only views akin to Nazism or totalitarianism are unworthy of protections for rights and freedoms of expression of thought, which actually outlaws communism.
	In that view.
	So, good news for Novara Media.
	You're actually on the channel now.
	I'm joking, obviously, that you're never going to be touched because you're left-wing and you're not allowed to be critiqued in this way.
	You'll never be brought before a judge for your totalitarian views.
	This woman will be.
	You won't.
	There's also the prescription list we have in the UK. You know, groups get prescribed on their views if they're totalitarian and whatnot.
	But there's no domestic communist group that's on that list.
	But we do have fascist groups that are on that list.
	Communism is totalitarian, so...
	Don't know why they get an exemption.
	Yeah, Liz, no, it's Priti Patel.
	Go do something about it.
	It's actually the personal remit of Priti Patel as well, to put groups on the prescription list.
	Go put the communist groups on the prescription list.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	They're a bunch of totalitarians.
	The Nazis come out of the communists.
	You can't have one without the other.
	They are kissing cousins.
	Put them both.
	One of the Nazi groups that's on there is for glorifying terrorism, which they did, but you can find a million communist groups in this country that also glorify terrorism.
	Not just glorify terrorism, they glorify the atrocities of Mao and Stalin.
	I've seen it all over Twitter, don't get banned, no legal trouble, but we're like, yay, constitutionalism, maybe men and men and women and women, and it's like, bam, you're in trouble.
	I say we, I didn't even do it.
	This lady did it.
	But yeah, so what I love about this, the judgment doesn't mean that the committee has expressed any view on the merits of either side of the transgender debate.
	Nothing in it should be regarded as doing so.
	The judgment does not mean that those with gender critical beliefs can misgender trans persons with impunity.
	So you might be allowed to believe that men are male and women are female, but you're not allowed to misgender a trans person with impunity.
	That would be a hate crime.
	Right, hang on.
	So, freedom of speech in the UK goes as far as your mouth.
	Yes.
	And then that's it.
	You can't say anything.
	You're allowed to believe it, and I believe you're allowed to tweet the abstract theory that you are referring to, but you're not allowed to call a man mister if that man says, call me miss.
	Britain isn't a free country.
	We don't have free speech.
	We are also a joke.
	I think I saw this earlier.
	It's listed not just as you've misgendered him, but in lore it's listed as harassment.
	So you've harassed a person by using the non-preferred pronoun.
	And also, I don't know how this extends to all other pronouns as well, because we've seen within the RAF, for example, they're using 12 or something.
	The leak we got in which all officers were to learn 12 by tomorrow for total inclusivity.
	In which case, I presume in British lore as well, we're all going to learn every pronoun that can ever exist on Tumblr.
	God, I hate it.
	Okay, so Louise Ray, a solicitor with a law firm called Bate Wells, which advised them, called the decision concerning, and a much narrower interpretation of the previously understood position that a belief that conflicts with fundamental rights of others will not be protected.
	Is this a fundamental right?
	To what?
	To have people call me the pronoun of my choice?
	Can't be.
	Fundamental right?
	Like, physically can't be.
	So if I were to insult a male friend of mine by calling him a bitch, have I violated his fundamental rights?
	In a liberal world, no.
	No.
	I mean, yeah, exactly.
	It depends what you believe a right is, doesn't it?
	I mean, if you believe a right is intrinsic to a human being, then pronouns are, of course, not a right.
	But then, you know, only sensible things become rights in that.
	But the point, as you can see, is that it's not good enough.
	Not good enough.
	Okay, yeah, sure, you know, she's not allowed to misgender people.
	But it's narrow.
	It's too narrow.
	We should have had a wider interpretation of this.
	Not happy with it.
	The EAT's decision sets the threshold for exclusion so high that it will leave marginalised groups more vulnerable to discrimination and harassment and place employees in an impossible position.
	Our clients are considering their next steps.
	What are you talking about?
	We're talking about speech.
	We're talking about someone using a pronoun.
	Yeah.
	And you're like, yeah, discrimination and harassment has been wiped.
	Fundamental my rights.
	Oh, shut up.
	Stop harassing me!
	Log off Twitter as an alternative, but there we go.
	But of course, Mermaids is not happening.
	Mermaids being the trans charity that is definitely not suspicious in any way, shape or form.
	The tribunal found, they say, and this is key, that misgendering of trans people is not part of forced data's protected belief.
	The misgendering could harass and discriminate against trans people.
	As you can see, they're going to be leveraging this in the tweet thread they post.
	This is going to be what they're leveraging.
	So, OK, you're allowed to believe it, but you're not allowed to say it.
	And if you say it, we're going to get you.
	There were also other unhappy activists.
	This is a demonstration of how transphobia, which I think seeks to legislate trans people out of public life...
	What are you talking about?
	What?
	You're divining the will of transphobia.
	Is it in the room with us?
	Can you point to it?
	Where is it?
	How do we contact it?
	Do we have a seance or something?
	To get in touch with the divine transphobe.
	If I think men are men, that's a demonstration of transphobia.
	I'm not even saying it, I'm just thinking it.
	That's how powerful we are.
	But the thing is, I don't even...
	For a lot to think...
	That men are men, and women are women, than we are literally legislating trans people out of existence.
	That's the thing, isn't it?
	It's so sensitive, because I don't think I've ever actually knowingly misgendered someone, right?
	If they're being polite and stuff, I'm happy to be polite back.
	I don't want to be a dick about this.
	But I am going to say, well look, philosophically, if you're asking me if a person can change their biological sex, scientifically the answer is no.
	But the legal answer...
	But the politically correct answer, the legal answer, yes, exactly.
	But anyway, so they're apparently going to legislate trans people out of public life, thus destroying their human rights...
	By legalising thinking.
	That's all that's happened here.
	Thinking has been legalised.
	So what we're saying is we've destroyed the human rights of Nazis, or anyone we call Nazis by this, gets a pass via wearing the face of being gender critical, so its followers can convince themselves they're not the bad guys.
	Ah yes, yes, the people who want to tell the truth are the bad guys.
	And the people who are being literally forced by the law to use certain words, which if you recall was Jordan Peterson's primary complaint as he shot to fame, saying, hey, this is going to be used for compelled speech.
	Well, we have it in Britain now, don't we?
	You have legally compelled speech now.
	But they're not the bad guys.
	Forced to say the words, you're not the bad guy.
	Forced to do the salute, you're not the bad guy.
	But the people who want to tell the truth and not take an action, they're the bad guys.
	But basically forced out her belief sex is immutable because she says she would be polite to trans people and not infringe on their basic human rights.
	The belief is protected.
	Well, okay, unprotect the belief.
	What are you going to do about it?
	You're going to change your mind?
	It's not going to change your mind, is it?
	That sex is immutable.
	But anyway...
	Moving on very quickly, since we've got a bit of time, the university student Lisa Keo from Abatei University, we covered this a little while ago, and she was also cleared.
	It says that this was legal for her to say as well, that women have vaginas.
	I hate this country.
	It's honestly the worst.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's not that I hate the country, I hate the people running the country.
	But yeah, so she was investigated, of course, after she made, quote, offensive and discriminatory remarks.
	This took two months to investigate.
	Don't know what they were investigating.
	Make sure she said it?
	I don't know.
	Like, a questioner about it?
	Did you say women have vaginas?
	I stand guilty, Your Honour.
	Liz Truss, help me.
	She had argued the difference in strength between the sexes meant it was not fair that women should have to compete against trans women in sport.
	Hard to disagree.
	I mean, the scientific evidence is on her side.
	Overwhelmingly, in fact.
	We have an article on lodacies.com about transgender people who keep winning, and it's always male-female transitions, in female sports.
	It's never the other way around.
	Why is that?
	Anyway.
	And again, this isn't a judgment about any of those people either.
	Like, there's nothing about, this is just the science and the theory that backs up all the things we're talking about.
	Just appear, the truth appears to be on this side, not the pronoun side.
	But again, I'm not going to sit there and go, you know, look, you've made an effort to transition.
	I'm not going to be like, oh, sorry, Mr.
	You know, sir.
	I'm not going to do this horrible thing to do.
	But like, you can't tell people they're not allowed to believe something.
	I think in the case of normal speech with a normal person, sure.
	But in the case of, say, the man who is a rapist and then was put into a female prison on his request, I'm going to call him him.
	Yeah, but that's still illegal.
	The law protects rapists.
	I'm sorry, I misgendered the rapist that you guys put in the prison with women and then he sexually assaulted them.
	I'm the bad guy here.
	Yes, you are.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, so she received her letter from the Chair of the Student Disciplinary Board informing her that the complaints have been dismissed.
	She was supported by SNP MP Joanna Cherry, the Free Speech Union, who were happy that they'd won the day on this.
	She says she'd been targeted in a modern-day witch hunt because of her gender-critical views, which is true.
	I have a quote from the Free Speech Union that she gave, actually.
	Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
	She says, No woman should face discrimination in the way I have because she believes in sex-based rights.
	I want to say a special thank you to the Free Speech Union for helping me through this stressful time.
	So that's from the lady who has been persecuted for saying women have vaginas.
	So, this is why as well I find it amazing.
	I mean, I support the free speech union, but I find it amazing it exists.
	Like, why?
	Why does it need to exist?
	Because we don't have free speech.
	There's no free speech union in America.
	Why?
	Because legally they have free speech.
	We get persecuted by our own government for pronouns.
	But yeah, so this was, you know, good.
	A good outcome, thankfully.
	But, I mean, that doesn't say a lot, does it?
	How's the war against the left going?
	Well, this woman didn't get kicked out of university for saying women have vaginas.
	Like, we're allowed to think that women are women, and we're allowed to say that women have vaginas.
	But you're not allowed to call a woman who doesn't have a vagina a man.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	If a man rapes a woman with her penis, that's what you've got to call it.
	I can't help but feel that we're kind of looking at the fall of Constantinople here, right?
	Where the entire Byzantine Empire is taken over by the Ottomans, and we're just standing there on the walls of Constantinople going, yes, we managed to be able to say the pronoun or something.
	It's like, yeah, okay, but look at where we are.
	I'm gaining more and more sympathy with...
	You know how we covered these Pakistani communities that have walled themselves off from the West?
	Fair enough.
	How do you build a wall?
	The wall just got 10 feet higher is what happened there.
	I guess I'm going to start rereading my Koran.
	Yeah.
	It's like, well, you guys need to integrate with the West.
	Us liberals are there.
	And they're like, yeah, but look behind you.
	Who's that?
	It's like, yeah, women aren't women.
	I'm not with that guy.
	There was another example of this in America, in fact, that was reported by the Washington Post at Leesburg Elementary School, where a teacher had said he would never affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa because of his Christian faith, and he was determined to tell the truth, and that meant he couldn't use a transgender child's name and pronoun if it did not agree with their biological sex, and he was fired, obviously, for this heresy.
	But officials at the Northern Virginia school system had placed him on administrative leave, but this had gone to court, and a Virginia judge said that he was suspended for refusing to use it, and he should be able to return to work immediately.
	The 20th Circuit Judge, James E. Plowman Jr., sharply rebuked the public school for its treatment of the teacher and said it was an unconstitutional action in which he has been silenced and silences others from speaking publicly on the issue.
	So they can appeal within the next 15 days but that's a pretty solid rebuke from an American judge.
	This is unacceptable just because he has an opinion that the woke brigade don't like doesn't mean he should lose his job and unfortunately you just have to live with it.
	Not everyone has to agree with your view On gender, and that's good because your view on gender is not the normal view on gender worldwide or anywhere.
	It's not true.
	Well, yeah.
	That's fundamentally your problem.
	It doesn't correspond to reality.
	That's the problem.
	But yeah.
	You see the American judge is like, yeah, he can say that.
	British judge.
	You can't say it, but you can think it.
	Boy, land of the free.
	Like...
	No wonder so many people are trying to get into the United States.
	But we get the response from Chris Candice Tuck, which is the transgender parent in London.
	He and his children, who are...
	I don't know whether his children are transgender, but he is.
	She is.
	I don't know.
	We're not given a pronoun here, so I'm not sure.
	They say he...
	Met police.
	I don't know.
	Met police, I'm quoting, right?
	He fears the ruling will encourage hateful rhetoric throughout the country.
	Hmm.
	Good for you, but is it doing any of that?
	Also, would it even matter?
	Do we agree that this is hateful?
	No.
	son had long looked up to cross as a role model and the boy is a difficult time in school and PE is his outlet because the guy was a PE teacher.
	My kids know I'm transgender and many of our friends are transgender.
	They know that the effects of these things like misgendering and dead naming can be.
	They're really upset today they don't want to be in PE on Thursday.
	Oh dear.
	Well that'll just be something they'll have to get over isn't it?
	Like everyone else, when something happens they don't particularly like, but is one of those things you just have to live with?
	I would have thought.
	But then, again, I'm some sort of dinosaur from the 90s when you're expected to take care of your own feelings, not impose your feelings on the rest of the world.
	I also don't know whether...
	I mean, this joke gets made, but I have yet to see an actual rebuke to this joke, which is why can we not expand pronouns to mean literally any pronoun I want, such as the right honourable, or his majesty, and so on and so forth.
	I wouldn't mind changing my pronouns to your majesty, it sounds pretty good.
	Yeah, and then it's legally enforced by the police, the vice and virtue.
	But if that's the case, I mean, you could use it to lock up so many leftists as well.
	It's like, my pronouns are my majesty, please use them.
	And they're like, no, I'm not using that, Carl.
	And they're like, right, police, get them.
	Don't say he, you say sire.
	Thank you, okay?
	And if you don't, then of course.
	We also have honours here.
	I mean, people are knighted and become so-and-so, and dame and whatnot.
	I mean, is that not also legally enforceable then?
	I mean, doctor?
	Like if someone has a doctorate?
	Good question.
	A good question we do not have answers for.
	I guess we'll see it.
	Eventually it's going to come before the courts at some point, isn't it?
	God, I mean, we're literally going back to the feudal age, like, you have to call him sir.
	Or put you in the slammer, young boy.
	Yeah, but that's the aspect that this takes on.
	A certain group of people attach to themselves the privilege of demanding that other people speak to them in a certain way.
	I mean, this is genuinely feudal aristocracy stuff, and that's one of the reasons I oppose it.
	You don't have the right to do this.
	Don't you know I'm a trans aristocrat?
	Exactly.
	The trans-aristocracy.
	Alright, should we go to the video comments?
	Sure.
	Good morning, Habibis.
	I just had to let you guys know I had to clear my name.
	Yeah, I wasn't the one that gave Hunter Biden the N-word pass.
	I would give one to every single Lotus Eaters, but I can only give up probably like three a year.
	But yeah, that wasn't me, guys.
	I know I'm the token black guy on here, but yeah, so I had to clear my name.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, and that is how nobody cares that Hunter Biden said the N-word.
	Did he say it, or did he just use it in memes?
	Well, he used it in text.
	Right, okay.
	But the point is, it's not even the worst thing that Hunter Biden's done, by far.
	That's the least offensive thing that Hunter Biden has done.
	Yeah, it goes to show how pointless profanity is.
	There are pictures of him posing with, like, weird and scantily clad Chinese children.
	He's naked.
	He's there, holding his...
	And it's just like, right, okay.
	But did you know he used racial profanity?
	I... Yeah, again, that gets the...
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, him just off his face on crack.
	Just...
	And him taking money from the Chinese government.
	It's just...
	Anyway, so also, just wanted to mention, that is also the chap that asked about proposing, and I don't know if the chap heard, but your advice was do it sincerely.
	Yeah, whatever you do, do it sincerely, so she knows that you mean it, which I didn't do with my wife, actually.
	I was really bad.
	What did you do?
	I just said, okay, come on, let's go get a ring.
	What do you mean?
	You've got to ask her first, surely.
	Well, no, I knew she wanted to marry me.
	So what?
	I don't know, you're eating a kebab, and you're just like, yeah, all right, let's go.
	Basically, yeah.
	All right.
	But yeah, I mean, the thing is, you're culturally conditioned to be afraid of it.
	And it's not...
	Well, I mean, there are concerns.
	But presuming that you have met the love of your life and she is a good woman, do it sincerely.
	Do it properly.
	You don't have to necessarily take a knee, although that might be your expectation.
	But just do it...
	Just don't do a fist while you're doing that.
	Just do it in a way that she realises that you mean it.
	That's all.
	What was the question yesterday about...
	Someone asked a question and I've forgotten it now.
	Ah, oh well.
	I'm hoping they cut my cup and it'll jog my memory.
	Let's ask the next video.
	...you guys, I will get the camera fixed.
	But that being said, a while back, Callum asked the question if it is morally worse to murder someone, or morally worse to murder someone and then lie to God.
	You probably don't understand this as an atheist, but it is absolutely far worse to lie to God.
	Not simply because I'm religious when I say this, but let me explain in the second one, because I take too long.
	The reason why it is morally wrong to lie to a God, worse so than the crime you are denying, is the following.
	God watched you commit that crime.
	He knows you've done it.
	So when you tell him that you didn't do it, What you're saying is I have no remorse.
	Yes, I killed him, and I just don't care.
	It doesn't mean anything to me.
	I did a moral good.
	I have no shame nor guilt, and I have nothing to confess to.
	makes sense though yeah i'm not sure i buy that so then he got it slightly wrong it was is it worse to murder or to lie to gods not murder and then lie to god so just you know abstract um but the i mean like the the new zealand mosque shooter right okay he he shot loads of muslims in the mosque and then was arrested and showed no remorse the shooting of the muslims was the bad bit Him showing no remorse, like, sure, that's bad, but it's not as bad as the shooting of the people.
	So that doesn't make sense to say that the problem with lying to God, therefore lying to God is worse, doesn't make sense on the basis that you're not remorseful, I would say.
	But again, this is coming from atheists.
	Yeah, but I don't think that lying to God means you can't also be remorseful.
	That's the thing.
	You know...
	You may lie out of cowardice, which I assume most people do lie about.
	And I don't think that means you can't be remorseful.
	It just means that you lack spine, to be honest about what you've done.
	But I think you could lie and be remorseful about something.
	I question the concept of lying to God, if God can see and do everything.
	Then you can only, well I suppose you aren't lying to him, but you know he knows, right?
	If you believe God's real, you believe he is omnipotent and omniscient, then you know he knows.
	Even if you tell an untruth to God, you know in the back of your mind that he already knows that you're going to do that, let alone what you've done.
	So is it about remorse or is it about just your silliness?
	I don't know.
	It's a weird thought experiment anyway.
	I'm not much of a theologian.
	Again, as atheists, we're just playing with this, but I'm still going with the murder is probably the bad thing.
	Yeah, the murder is definitely worse.
	This is Jeremy.
	Jeremy works in Subway and earns £17,000 a year.
	This is David.
	David is an airline pilot and he earns £80,000 a year.
	They both pay 20% tax.
	That means Jeremy pays £3,500 and David pays £16,000.
	They both have exactly the same access to NHS, police, government, social care and defence.
	So, who is paying their fair share and who is not?
	I would say they're both being screwed because taxation's theft.
	And also, most of that stuff don't work.
	Like, you're paying for the NHS. And it's all done upon you by coercion.
	God, Hugo's really got to us, man.
	Look at the government part there.
	If they're teaching about critical race theory, that was a waste of money.
	They're the people who are telling me that I can't use the words I want to use.
	I mean, the defence part?
	I mean, that's it.
	I guess.
	That's the only bit I really consent to.
	I'm still down with the Knights Watchman State.
	Yeah, yeah, same here.
	But no, that was, yes.
	Great point raised by John, which is the £100,000 for diversity hires.
	I'm not joking.
	It's £100,000 salary per NHS trust for a head of diversity.
	Not to mention, then, every police force in Britain has a head of diversity at about £100,000 each.
	Not to mention all little underlings who are on £40,000, £27,000, so on and so forth down the line.
	I hate this country so much.
	And that's just the police and the NHS. I mean, in the civil service and whatnot, keep going, keep going.
	Military and everywhere else.
	There is millions upon millions upon millions just being wasted on salaries, never mind the other costs involved and then the time costs and all the rest of it.
	The pilot's on ATK. Yeah, more than the pilot on ATK. But the point is otherwise well taken.
	You are correct.
	The net contribution is, of course, much higher.
	Lower for Jeremy, working at Subway, than David, working as an airline pilot.
	I really like that animation as well.
	I feel like AA should use it more.
	Like when he's describing random people in his videos, he should make them labor enemies.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Diane Abbott, the shoe saleswoman.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Hmm, let's see.
	So you've got BLM, which is kneeling, and then you've got stand-up for racism.
	Could we just chant these two terms at them back-to-back over and over again, just to see them kneel and stand up again repeatedly as some sort of society and punishment?
	And if you can find some way to harness their energy, you can power a green movement.
	It's genius.
	Oh, and by the way, as Callum requested, I put up my first YouTube video yesterday, mocking the holy hell out of the White House wench's absurd border policies.
	Hope you guys enjoy.
	Well, one of the things I love about the activism is the total mixed messaging.
	It's like, what happened?
	Well, we took a knee for racism.
	Ah, okay.
	You also stand up for racism.
	What happened?
	George Floyd got a knee on the neck.
	Oh, boy.
	I think John got drunk one day.
	He was telling me about this new organization they're going to do, which is just sit down for racism eventually.
	So you've got to sit down for racism, stand up for racism, and take a knee for racism.
	I don't want more you're meant to do.
	Jumping jacks for racism.
	I don't know.
	How far do you take this?
	Drive a car for racism.
	Sit on a train for racism.
	Fly in a plane for racism.
	Eat some sandwiches for racism.
	Yeah, eat your lunch for racism.
	All of these great anti-racist activist organisations.
	But I participate in on a daily basis.
	Well, I'd be like the professor.
	I'd be using some kids for racism.
	That's the left-wing neo-racist movement right there.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, I mean, it actually is, yeah.
	Everything I do, I do it for racism.
	Diane Abbott.
	2020.
	Anyway.
	But if all of these things are considered anti-racist actions, then I'm pretty anti-racist my entire day.
	Just everything I do.
	Yeah.
	Cycle my bike into work against racism.
	No, no, because it's stand-up to racism, so it's like sit down to racism and then ride my bike to racism.
	So, I don't know, like, has racism got a tune?
	Anyway, yeah, left is mixed messaging.
	It's a mess.
	Let's go for the next one.
	Okay, so for the people listening, that oil guy decided to bring out a little chef's puppet that pulled out a tray from the oven, and the tray in the oven is just a massive loaf of bread that's shaped in the shape of a schlong.
	I'm not.
	I don't even know what that's supposed to tell me.
	I love that he paid money to do that as well.
	It's not keto-friendly, though.
	Let's go to the next one.
	G'day gents!
	I'm going to use this video comment to do some plugging for myself because I have finally finished Not woke and people are gonna love it.
	I am so happy that they're finally done because that's what I've been working on for the last three months without rest.
	So go to cscooper.com.au slash books and check them out.
	I promise you're gonna like them.
	Definitely.
	And go check them out.
	When you've ordered some of the books and read them, let us know whether they're good.
	Give us a review.
	Leave him reviews.
	We've got to help out those people who are helping out us.
	We've got to build up from the ground up.
	Build back better, I've heard, is a good phrase.
	By forming a union.
	By forming a union.
	But no, seriously, go check him out.
	I'm sure he's done a good job.
	Okay, this might seem incongruent, but can we just take a moment to talk about pocket watches?
	Sure.
	So, the Smithsonian Museum, listed as the hallmarks of white European culture, timekeeping and precision, these two values led to the development of clocks and later pocket watches.
	Even to this day, a high quality pocket watch is one of the finest precision instruments that a person can buy.
	If you take one apart, it is in fact mind-blowing that such a thing can be created by human hands, and yet they've been built in the West for the past 500 years.
	It could be fairly argued that the development of the pocket watch has enabled almost every mechanical and scientific development since the 17th century, and that's all because we value timekeeping.
	Yeah, he's absolutely right.
	This happens to me on Facebook all the time.
	I'll be scrolling through my feed and Facebook will be like, would you like to watch this video of someone building something really complex and autistic?
	And I'm like, yes, I do.
	And I sit there for like three minutes watching this and go, right, what was I doing?
	Because I'm just captivated by the actual mechanics of the thing.
	And he is right.
	It could just be that Europe is just the most autistic continent.
	And like, what is it?
	Well, we all just love strange mechanical doodads that do things.
	Well, I'm looking forward to the ADL listing pocket watches as the new symbol of white supremacy.
	White supremacy, yeah, yeah.
	And then we'll have to move along those, what is it, candle timers?
	Yep.
	That's also a symbol of white supremacy?
	Yeah, just caring about time at all is a symbol of white supremacy.
	But no, he's absolutely right about the pocket watches.
	They are absolutely fantastic to see them built, and they are unbelievably complex, and they're tiny.
	And it's just like, wow, this is a genuine sort of marvel of human ingenuity.
	Show us what gay ambivalence looks like.
	What?
	I wish we were allowed to be ambivalent about things.
	I don't even get the reference.
	Is there a reference?
	Well, it's the protest chant.
	Show me what X looks like.
	And they're referring to themselves, and he's like, show me what ambivalence looks like.
	Alright.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So, someone else mentioned this week that they were trying to quit smoking.
	Now I'm currently trying to quit vaping.
	What I'm doing is interval increase.
	After every break I take, I increase the next break by an hour or two hours, currently on 30 hours.
	And, you know, this worked for me five years ago with something else, which I'm not going to name.
	I'll just call it the George Floyd compound.
	So, you know, if it worked for that, I trust, at least for me, that it's going to work for nicotine.
	And thus far, it has been working.
	Within the next month, I'll probably be free of it.
	Well, good luck and good job as well.
	I was thinking, when do you stop though?
	Because if you're adding an hour every time and you're quitting smoking, let's say you get to 48 hours?
	Yeah, but when it gets to like a week...
	Is there enough time to just be like, nah?
	Well, you probably just forget.
	I've got two weeks until my next cigarette.
	Well, okay, I'll go do something else then.
	You thought I'd try this instead of doing the pills?
	No, I haven't.
	I should though.
	Anyway.
	See, what's the question?
	Like, when you take the nicotine tablets, is it essentially like you're getting a dosage of a cigarette?
	Yeah.
	So if you did it increasing by an hour each time, would that work?
	It probably would.
	My idea.
	Anyway, let's go for the next one.
	Hello, Lotus Eaters!
	I'm a biomedical science student from Puerto Rico and I just wanted to tell you guys thank you so much for everything that you do.
	Now, in regards to the whole tiasco of Puerto Rico and the United States, yes, there is a lot of corruption locally.
	And the reason for that is because the political parties here in Puerto Rico were built in the ideas of the status of Puerto Rico and not actual ideologies.
	Blue means statehood, green means independence, and red means remaining the same with the United States as accountable.
	So that obviously opens the door to a lot of corruption because the politicians know this.
	They know how the people think, and they're going to take advantage of it and just simply go for the most popular party that is going on at the moment.
	Right, well, that makes sense.
	I'm sorry, but like, the colours, like, they're just people dressing up in red, blue, and green.
	It makes me think of Team Fortress 2.
	Like, that's what politics is in Puerto Rico.
	It's like, whose team are you on?
	Blue, red!
	Like, I know, like, tribalism gets joked about, you know, you've got Team Red and Blue in the States and in the UK and whatnot, but I'd love the idea of a party literally just being like the Nico Riots, which is, like, I'm on Team Blue, that's it.
	You know who the Nico Riots are?
	Yeah, you know, the blue and red or whatever they were.
	Yes, blue and green, yeah.
	I'm just shocked that you knew.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, anyway, I just love the idea of just being so tribal about it.
	It's just like, I'm on blue team.
	Why?
	Blue, blue, blue.
	So, no, thank you.
	Thank you for letting us know, because we're obviously no experts on Puerto Rican internal, like, local politics.
	But I'm not surprised it's fairly corrupt to me.
	One question I would have is how does representation work?
	Because, you know, you are being taxed and whatnot.
	Because I know they don't get to send...
	Well, I think they send someone to the House who doesn't have a vote but can whine, which is either the best job or the worst job, depending on your motives.
	But, like, how do you do with local government then?
	Do you actually get rid of corrupt people or no?
	Are you just kind of screwed in two reds, blue and green?
	Yeah, because, I mean, if your options are between three corrupt candidates...
	What are you going to do?
	Anyway, TFLSpark says, It's pretty darn funny how the golden old days of Trump happened not even six months after he left the White House.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's so soon after Trump's left, everything's going to hell.
	I'm going to put together a video of just...
	Price increases and stuff like this.
	All of these things that have happened under Biden.
	It's genuinely amazing how swiftly Biden has screwed up the United States.
	It really puts into perspective how badly President Kamala and her sock puppet Biden have effed it up.
	Also, shameless plug, come watch the Sultans of Chagelet live on YouTube 30 minutes after the Lotus Eaters.
	Have a great weekend.
	Definitely go and do that.
	David says, Hi guys, the indestructible relationship story seems fishy and seems to strengthen Biden's legitimacy during a time of vote recounts.
	What would you expect to happen if there's considerable errors and a popular movement behind removing Biden?
	Would Boris side with the American swamp?
	Listen, right, if it's something that's going to require fortitude, then Boris is against it, and he's going to collapse instantly into whatever the easiest possible out is.
	So expect that, basically.
	No, I disagree hugely.
	Really?
	Because you remember when the, let's say, debate was going on about the election, and his team in Downing Street was sort of not really saying anything when a lot of people were putting pressure on them to congratulate Biden.
	And then they ended up releasing that graphic and you could see the graphic was so hastily made.
	It had like the text for congratulations Trump underneath as well.
	So I think with the relationship, the responsibility fundamentally, because we can't determine who's going to be the US president, but we can determine how to act with them, is to just be professional and maintain that relationship.
	And he has done that.
	So I reckon if there was some comeuppance in the US, then he would wait to see who's going to win essentially.
	I'm looking forward to the results of the recounts and things like this.
	These things have all been going on, it's just the media doesn't cover them.
	Because they look bad.
	Will says, can we get some kind of great reset buzzword bingo to play during this G7 Summit?
	If it was interesting to watch, yes, but it's not, so no.
	Paulie says, Joe Biden arrives at G7 by plane, climb stairs better.
	SH Silver says, the 15% corporation tax rate is bad enough, but China is already looking to carve out exemptions.
	The fools at G7 think they'll be able to negotiate, but China will never accept anything that requires them to sacrifice their hugely advantageous position compared to everyone else.
	The West will be negotiating for how much they sell us out to China.
	Yeah, but I mean...
	It's not great news either.
	We should be trying to move corporations out of China and into the West.
	Yeah.
	Not putting up barriers.
	No.
	It's all so disappointing.
	Matthew says, Why is Boris not pushing for bringing manufacturing back to the UK after Brexit?
	Good question.
	When visiting Birmingham, I visited a museum that talked about the industry that all left for other countries.
	They could at least bring back HP source production.
	Is that foreign now?
	I imagine it is, yeah.
	But that's a good question, and for some reason Boris is actually deciding that what he's going to do is keep us locked into the arrangement that means that corporations never come back here.
	Made in the Netherlands.
	There you go.
	When did it move over there?
	I don't know.
	I didn't say, but I'm sure we could get it back.
	Colin says, multiple former White House insiders on Twitter have said that Suzanne Rice is the power behind the scenes.
	Maybe, who knows?
	It's interesting.
	Ben Noyce says, no, the guy just lied and said the trash was a compliment when it's clearly not, but their egos weren't allowed to see it.
	LAUGHTER That would be funny.
	Yeah.
	Israel Hayes says, I'm with Milton Friedman.
	Abolish corporation tax.
	And then the rest of them.
	A corporation is run and owned by people.
	It's just a second tax.
	It's a fair way to look at it.
	Teach Tyke says, Biden's Irishness at best is a front.
	Note how he's never done anything legitimate that isn't a bid for publicity.
	And even those fail.
	See him thinking kilts and bagpipes are Irish.
	Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong.
	Like, I'm sure that Biden is of Irish ancestry.
	But, like...
	It's obviously a grift, like with everything he's ever done.
	He's just a big liar.
	He's just a liar.
	He has been for such a long time as well.
	There are so many examples of him just ripping off other people because he thinks it looks like good PR. He's a consummate politician.
	Henry Ashman says, Oh, this seems to have done in the United States.
	Yeah, well, they've had the First Lady for a while, but we've never really had...
	No, but, like, the influence of the First Lady.
	Oh, yeah.
	Under Obama, like, no one thought that Michelle Obama was being pushed around by Barack, right?
	But where was Mr.
	May as well?
	Good question.
	Who cares about Mr.
	May?
	Yeah.
	Ross says...
	He is right about, like, I don't know what...
	How did this happen with Theresa May?
	I don't know.
	Because she...
	You just look at the clips.
	I mean, I've done a compilation once before.
	You know, she was great.
	I mean, when she was campaigning, everything correct on Brexit and whatnot.
	And when she gets in, totally changed.
	I was like, right, okay.
	And now she's out, she's back to being based.
	And the same is happening with Boris, where it's just based, based, based, gets in the seat, and then just breaks.
	It must be because of the inherent strength of the system that they're pushing against.
	Because of all the civil servants and all these other, like, quangos and other sort of, you know, there are very sort of hooks on it that all lead to other things and they're all pulling.
	And so it's probably quite difficult to shove the thing in one direction.
	But has it stopped you from speaking your mind on an issue?
	Because of the press.
	They're afraid of the press.
	They're afraid that the press will destroy them with one wrong statement, which they will.
	But that's how they got the position, is by saying, sod the press.
	That's because they don't understand that everyone hates the press.
	God, that's weird.
	Yeah.
	Ross says, I saw Theresa May's speech last night.
	She may have been an awful prime minister, but she seems to be a perceptive backbencher.
	Hopefully she'll continue to critique the leadership.
	It's not like removing the whip from a previous prime minister would be good optics.
	Yeah, I mean, she wasn't being vindictive with her statement.
	It was just correct.
	There was no way you can count that up.
	Yeah.
	Chad says, the growing number of parents declaring themselves against critical race theory reminds me of John Hayward's quote, even a worm will turn.
	When the reality of what is under threat becomes ever more obvious, in this case their children, it requires ever less courage to stand against what is threatening it.
	It's true.
	And it's a good way of destroying I just want to grill as well.
	Oh yeah, there's no grilling if your kids are going to be groomed into racism.
	God.
	Joe says, on Critical Race Theory, I'm running for school board and this has become the number one issue.
	We believe we can win on it.
	Good.
	And I'll tell you what, if you can't win on this, protecting your children from being told that they are either racially superior or inferior by the professors and academics around them, you can't win on any issue.
	We've lost the whole thing if we can't win on this one.
	The current board is so far left, they have rebranded critical race theory as culturally responsive teaching.
	We've responded with school-sponsored racism, which it is.
	That sounds racist in and of itself.
	Like, you've got this black kid, and you're like, yeah, we need to culturally respond teaching here.
	You're not like us?
	Yeah, we can't teach him like normal, but he's got brown skin, so we're going to have to readjust the syllabus.
	I wish I could get just a lineup of all the people who are like, it's just in universities, bro.
	It's not going to be a big deal, bro.
	I wish I could get them, okay, this.
	See it?
	Is this a big deal?
	Well, I said this earlier, but I think it's actually a good point, which is that you can say it's just kids on college campuses.
	Well, what are parliaments?
	Yeah.
	They're made up of kids from college campuses.
	Exactly.
	Everything, you know.
	But, yeah, the language game is huge.
	What advice would you give to waking up normal parents who keep telling us they don't understand what's wrong with critical race theory?
	What moral foundations should we appeal to?
	I'll do a video or something on this because I don't want to just give you a half-assed answer off the top of my head.
	But I'll have a think about it.
	I'll have a think about it.
	Brad Ayo says, What amazes me is how many students didn't walk out of that lecture.
	I would have done.
	They sit there with no opinion one way or another, or they know they'll get berated for it.
	Well, that's the thing, right?
	You've got to remember that they're very receptive because you go into a lecture with the mindset that there is an authority who has information that you need.
	In fact, you need this information so much you're paid to get it.
	And so you sit there receptively, right, give me your wisdom, oh master.
	And the master's like, so the black kids are inferior to the white kids, get used to it.
	Seems awful.
	Plus, they are just kids out of high school.
	Yeah, well, no, they were college students.
	Yeah, so they're just at high school and go to college.
	I mean, most people you meet haven't thought about politics to a great extent.
	But you would have thought that your inferior would be enough.
	I mean, that's pretty awful.
	But the teacher's like framing it.
	Hey, we're going to fix it though.
	It's like, yeah, I don't think that's how it gets fixed.
	Luke says, We need a register of teachers so we can strike them off and bar them for teaching if they push this BS. Don't worry about any impact on freedoms.
	It will only be leftist teachers impacted and they love big government control.
	That's a good point.
	But yeah, seriously, in your local area, run for the local school board and get rid of the teachers and this curriculum.
	It's got to go.
	It's got to go.
	It's awful.
	Northamptonian Knight says, Critical race theory is the legacy assassination of MLK and already has his blood on its hands.
	That's correct.
	Alex says, Well,
	that's true, but I assume that he was taking two students that were doing the same degree.
	They're both doing sociology.
	In the same class.
	So they're both useless, don't worry.
	Which is true.
	Duffy says, the educational industrial complex pushing cultural eugenics needs to be dismantled.
	Yes.
	We Americans overvalue a piece of paper that costs tens of thousands and at best scrawled in crayons saying doctor of philosophy.
	Hey, none of this is to do with philosophy.
	I have to just stand up for the discipline I enjoy.
	Philosophy isn't actually full of this crap.
	It doesn't seem to me, anyway, in the English-speaking world, that French philosophy has much traction at all.
	This is all coming out of sociology, where it has major traction for some reason.
	Yeah.
	The law department as well has major traction because it's now in law, obviously.
	Well, that's where it came from, critical legal theory.
	American critical legal theory.
	How can we fight against credentialism and push for the valuation of autodidacts?
	To be honest with you, I think the results will speak for themselves.
	When autodidacts and non-credentialed people who are just...
	Well-educated on something else can speak lucidly about a subject and give a sensible reality-representing answer, then the proof will be in the pudding, I think.
	Long Talks on the Neet says, Critical race theory makes sense when you consider who holds the beliefs.
	Socialists.
	If you only want Gibbs, your ideology doesn't need to encourage achievement and hierarchy based on character and merit instead of on the colour of their skin.
	If your ideology doesn't require you to develop critical thinking, you can be walking a walking contradiction.
	Like voting for the establishment racist who is responsible for the high-tech lynching of a black Supreme Court justice because of racial equality.
	That's Joe Biden and Clarence Thomas.
	Thompson?
	Thomas?
	Clarence Thomas.
	But, yeah, no, I mean, obviously.
	But one thing I hear about that is the guy's like, you know, you're still not equal, you're still not equal.
	Yeah, but not because of race.
	You know, the black kid might have been super smart and the white kid just kind of average.
	They're not equal.
	The black kid's technically, like, mentally superior to the white kid.
	Again, not because of race, just because he's smarter.
	You know, maybe the white kid didn't work very hard or something like that.
	And so the black kid's going to get opportunity that is just not open to the white kid.
	And he's sat there going, yeah, but you're black.
	You're black.
	You're black.
	You're inferior.
	You're black.
	It's like, no, that's...
	That's not true, you know?
	I'm kind of sick of hearing the word equality ever again.
	I mean, you've made this point before.
	You are not equal to yourself on a different day.
	Well, that was Thomas Sowell.
	Exactly.
	So it's like, well, okay, if we got that, then this is all a waste of time.
	Oh, man, I'll tell you all right.
	That is such a true statement.
	The best way I've found this out, that you're not equal to yourself on a different day, is because I have to ride my bike to work every day, right?
	Some days it's really difficult.
	Some days it's really easy.
	Like today, normally it's about a half hour ride, something like that.
	But I got it in 20 minutes today.
	I don't know why I was on fire.
	I was just like, speeding down.
	I guess it's because I got a good night's sleep last night.
	But on a day that I don't get a good night's sleep, man, it's a tough ride.
	And, you know, I really have to sort of struggle to get myself up to a decent speed.
	And so this question of equality, equality, oh God, I just don't care.
	You know, I just don't care.
	Sondre says, women exist.
	Yes, I'm a conservative.
	Literally where we're at.
	Women have vaginas is provocative, but legal.
	A Nazi pug raising his paw, however, says Matthew.
	Heathcliff says, if you tweeted, men are men and women are women, do you think we'd get arrested for this tautology?
	In Scotland.
	Scotland, maybe.
	No, you would be able to argue, I didn't say what constitutes being a man or being a woman.
	Because you could say, well, transgender, trans women are women, trans men are men.
	That's right, I am a Scottish Conservative.
	So the tautology should be safe, because no new content has been introduced to the definition of what a man or woman is.
	But, I mean, that's me giving the police who are arresting you the benefit of the doubt that they would be smart enough to understand the difference there.
	Could you imagine being a police officer and knowing nothing about this?
	You know, just some guy, just enjoys his life, doesn't care about politics at all.
	Having to arrest people for this?
	Yeah.
	And then they start giving you philosophical arguments about what men and women are, and you're just like, I'm meant to be taking notes.
	Well, when I got a request from the Birmingham police to come and speak to them about the Jeff Phillips incident, that was exactly what happened.
	Because I basically, I sat there, and I hadn't even slept that night because I was nervous about it.
	And I had to get up really early, so I just stayed up all night.
	So I must have looked like a wreck.
	But I basically just sat there, and they sat down and said, right, okay, so what's this about?
	I just laid everything out, and I could see the guy's face.
	It was literally just that sort of...
	Why the hell am I here?
	Yeah, exactly.
	You could tell that, right, this is going over my head.
	This is not my job.
	I'm just going to let this go.
	But they were very nice and everything.
	But this is not their job.
	This is not their goddamn job.
	But Nick says, you may not have freedom of speech, but you have freedom of thought at least.
	Then Hamza Youssef is like, not for long.
	Good point.
	Luke Robinson.
	Interesting quirk in UK law.
	Rape is defined using gendered language.
	Someone inserts his penis, etc.
	So if biological sex is no longer the standard and gendered pronouns are where we look, then surely this opens up a huge loophole.
	I'm not a rapist.
	I identify as a woman and I use the female penis, etc.
	Not true for legal senses, because that's been dealt with whenever you use gendered language in a law, because that's how things used to be.
	Especially, it would be he does this.
	We wouldn't usually put she, because we don't care.
	And that's now been interpreted in legal terms as meaning both.
	Legally, no, but linguistically, true.
	Annie says, My trans friend finally refused to agree to disagree.
	I remember Annie talking about this a while ago.
	She says, I was denying her existence by fundamentally disagreeing, so that friendship is over.
	She's the godmother to my kids.
	Yeah, she ended up hating the term.
	Any idea how she might eventually break out of the cult?
	Need some hope for the situation.
	I wish I had some good news for you, or something I could recommend, but honestly, if I had the answer to this, then I would have probably told everyone already.
	This is just one of those things we're continually working on here.
	What a weird position the world is in.
	Alex says, I think the UK has forgotten how free speech works.
	Don't need to think that they've forgotten this.
	They're actively opposed to it at this point.
	If you make a statement, then you must be prepared to defend it, particularly if you make a statement that's framed as a fact.
	People seem to have forgotten to preface their opinions with the words, I think.
	Interviews with people from the 50s, 60s, and 70s are replete with this phrase and are far better for it.
	It cuts both ways.
	People stating ridiculous things about requiring trans pronouns are just as guilty of hate speech.
	As those saying they don't want to use them.
	The trouble is not hate speech, but where hate speech is used as an excuse to ruin lives.
	Luke says, Leftists talking about vaccines.
	Follow the science.
	Leftists talking about biology.
	Science is transphobic.
	In fact, we're going to do a premium podcast at some point about the concept of vagueness, because this is always the defense.
	This is always the way they go.
	Oh, well, you know...
	If you can't draw a hard barrier between man and woman, and there are cases that admit of exceptions and are indeterminate, then the thing no longer exists.
	And this is called a soritis paradox.
	Soritis?
	Soritis?
	Paradox?
	But we'll talk about it, because basically it's nonsense.
	Because by this standard there are no men and women, so what are we even arguing about?
	This intersex person exists, therefore women don't exist.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Son of.
	Joseph Woodland, do you love Big Sibling?
	We had to remove the gendered language, but there is your duck speak.
	That's a good point.
	That oil guy, how is it that you've got...
	How is it that you guys haven't got that the puppet is TF Allspark?
	Is it?
	I thought it was the Swedish chef from...
	The Muppets.
	Sorry, but good point.
	I should have got that.
	And I hope TF Allspark is feeling personally attacked.
	As a history buff, what would you rather do at least once?
	March in Falama, ride a horse, or sail on a sailboat?
	Good question.
	I'll sail on a sailboat.
	That wasn't fun.
	Yeah.
	I mean...
	Well, riding a horse, that's fun.
	Sailing on a sailboat, it depends where you're sailing, I suppose.
	If you're in the Mediterranean, apparently it's liable to just random storms that pop up and sink entire fleets, so I'd probably avoid that.
	Riding a horse, you could fall off and kill yourself, so I'd probably avoid that.
	I'll go for marching in full armour.
	Yeah, if you could do it with 10,000 other lads as well, that'd be cool.
	Yeah, that would actually be pretty cool.
	And she's marching against the Turks.
	So next meet-up, guys.
	Yeah, that does sound like a lot of fun, how you say it.
	But that's actually illegal, though, isn't it?
	You're not allowed to have a uniform.
	So if we looked like we were a political group...
	If we've coded it to all be the same, we'd be liable.
	But if we all individually made our own armour outfits that are not the same...
	Then we're just a mercenary company.
	I don't know what the problem is.
	I love the idea of just like a piece of that.
	What's all this then?
	I don't know.
	Just out for a jog.
	And I met these guys.
	They were also out for a jog.
	There's 10,000 of you.
	All in full plate.
	With halberds, you know.
	It's not an organisation.
	It's just a coincidence.
	Anyway.
	So if you want more from us, go and check out the video, as I mentioned, the new one about Grimes and her communist utopia, that's actually a dystopia, on lotuseaters.com.
	That's the YouTube channel.
	Use the words lotuseaters.com, as in D-O-T, com.
	Or go to loses.com, the website, and you'll be able to find it there, and also plenty of the premium content that we have, and the new article from Beau.
	But otherwise, we'll be back Monday, 1 o'clock.
