Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 29th of June 2021.
I'm joined by Carl.
Hello.
And today we're going to be talking about becoming trans-Korean, because trans-racial slash nationalism is back in vogue, I guess.
Also, the imperial march of pride and the new flag, which now takes up everything but 50.4% of the flag.
Oof.
We've got that bit left of the traditional pride flag.
Yeah.
Return to tradition.
Conservative pride flag.
Yeah.
And also the Stalinist economics professor from the United States.
Who's trending on Twitter.
Yeah.
Which, it's just, what a sentence.
Like, I'm a Stalinist, also an economics professor.
In America.
Yeah.
God, God.
He believes that, yeah, genocide never happens under the Soviets, because of course, never did.
According to him.
Professor.
Anyway, so let's go to the first thing here, which is the free speech and tolerance rally in Batley.
So this is the event Reclaim, and Lawrence Fox, I believe, were the guys who set this up, him being the leader of Reclaim.
And they invited loads of people to come down and give speeches on the issue of the school teacher who was threatened with death.
And then the people doing that threatened the country with becoming like France, with that if we didn't censor this guy for showing an image of Mohammed in a blasphemy class about blasphemy, in which he showed Muhammad's show this is blasphemy in Islam.
As I understand it, that chap's still in hiding as well, isn't he?
Yeah.
I saw Douglas Murray called him, what was it, he must be the loneliest man in Britain right now, with the lack of support he's gotten.
Yeah.
I mean, the Conservatives and Labour saying nothing on this issue locally.
The Labour Party, for obvious reasons.
The Conservatives, for obvious reasons.
They don't want to rock the boat with the upcoming by-election.
But you have Lawrence Fox there, you have George Galloway who went down, so credit to them.
We also have the individual speeches and also an interview with Lawrence Fox up on there that's going up at 3pm, so after this podcast, go and check that out.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get into the trans-Koreans.
So trans-nationalism?
Trans-racialism?
I think this might be both in this case, to be honest.
So, I mean, we all remember Rachel Dolezal, the lady who was like, I'm black, but you're clearly white, or...
Sean King.
Or Talcum X. And you've got those two, but this is on a new level.
So, this person here, Ollie London, called himself.
So he posted this.
This is my new official flag for being a non-binary person who identifies as Korean.
Thank you for the overwhelming support.
It was so hard for me to come out as them, they, core Ian.
The core being a pronoun and the Ian being a pronoun there.
I mean, this seems like a massive troll.
Yeah, I mean, any other day I would have said this is clearly just some guy taking fun at identity politics being a dumpster fire.
Yes.
And for people who are listening, it's the Korean flag, but with the red parts and the black parts changed out for the pride flag in a weird way.
It's very progressive.
Yeah, hyper-progressive.
So there's that.
There's also the little trans icon there, or non-binary icon.
I don't even know, because who knows at this point.
But then there's the response to this.
So you have Ben Shapiro responding with, live your truth, Oli.
A lot of people were just retweeting this, like, go for it, mate.
Obviously taking the mickey, assuming, I presume, that he was also taking the mickey, which, yeah, doesn't seem to be.
So let's go to the next one here, and this is him.
Not looking great.
Him saying, my transition story and how I became Korean, and then there's a video of him explaining how he got plastic surgery to look Korean.
I've seen what Koreans look like.
Yep.
So you might be thinking, WTF? This has to be a troll.
Well, if it is a troll, it's a very clever troll.
That's the thing.
It's a very committed troll if you're going to go through surgery.
So it's not just that.
If you go on his channel, you can go back to the next link here.
There's like two years of him being a Koreaboo in which he's just really grossly obsessed with South Korea.
And what would you call it?
The music culture they have there.
What is it?
K-pop?
All that stuff?
Yep.
It's cringe.
Officially condemned by North Korea?
So this gets cringier and cringier as you go on.
So we go to the next one.
There's a video of him in really...
I don't know.
Just buying 5,000 copies of some K-pop magazine to show his love for some K-pop star, I presume, called Jimin.
I don't bloody know.
And...
Calum only knows about North Korea.
Yeah, I don't know about the Yankee colony to the south.
But the other thing on my mind is just like, man, being rich is a curse, isn't it?
Like, look at that.
Like, buying 5,000 copies of some K-pop magazine I mean, you know, normal people can't do this.
You have to be a creep to do this.
Anyway, so let's go to the next one.
And you've got 18,000 views as well.
Yeah, everything's getting downvoted.
You can see that.
This is the next one, which is really weird.
Him saying Happy Ramadan in Arabic.
I don't speak much Arabic, but that was bad Arabic in this video.
And it came off, again, really cringe.
And everything, as you can see, is mass disliked.
And then there's the next video, which was a couple of days ago, in which it came out as non-binary, Korean.
With a mask on.
Sunglasses and a hat.
You couldn't see his face.
I can't believe people are downvoting this.
This is hilarious.
And of course, masks downvotes and people just be like, come on, this has to be a troll.
This has to be a troll.
Yeah, but that's the reason to upvote it.
And then the next one, he cuts up his face.
He does the surgery.
Right.
Jesus.
Now he's got his mask and whatnot off and you can see his face as earlier.
I don't think he's joking.
I really wish he was joking.
But he explains in this video his position for doing it.
And I must credit him for his almost flawless logic in the progressive world.
There is one flaw, but we'll get to it.
So we go to the first clip.
This is they explaining their transition.
I think I've got the pronouns right.
Sure.
Hey, guys, I just want to take this chance to, you know, come out today and Something that's been, like, on my mind for a long time and I've been very confused about how I identify.
I've been very, very confused and, you know, I've seen a lot of other people online that have come out and been very brave about it and shared their story about how they identify their gender, their pronouns, etc.
So, you know, I've taken courage from these incredibly brave people and it is Pride Month at the moment, so You know, I thought this was the best time to do it.
So I am going to come out today and say that I've been transitioning.
I've been very unhappy with who I am deep down for the last eight years and I've, you know, I've had like 18 plastic surgeries now.
And I've just had a facelift, a brow lift, a temple lift, an eye surgery, a camphorplasty, and my teeth then as well.
These are just part of my transition.
For the first time in my life, I feel beautiful.
You know, I'm looking in the mirror and I love the way I look and I feel happy.
I hope people can respect my decision.
It's a very tough decision to come out this way, but I am coming out as non-binary.
I don't feel I identify as male or female.
I just feel like I'm just in the middle.
And my pronouns are they, them, Korean, Jimin.
Because I know a lot of people don't understand me, but I do identify as Korean.
And I do look Korean now.
I do feel Korean.
I don't identify as British, so please don't refer to me in any media or anyone online as British because I identify as Korean.
That's just my culture.
That's my home country.
That's exactly how I look now.
And I also identify as Jimin.
That's my Korean name.
No.
So many things.
So many things to say.
And none of them were allowed to put on the internet.
I mean, interesting points.
I mean, his intersectional logic, faultless.
Faultless to a T. And they've got nothing about it.
The only failure is that he says, if you make an article about this, or so on and so forth, you don't call him British.
I went to his website, first line, about Ollie.
Ollie London is a British reality TV personality and K-pop singer.
Okay, yeah, so, I mean, he's detonating him himself.
Need to update that website, mate.
I'm assuming calling yourself British is like the transnational version of deadnaming.
So you need to update your own website there.
I mean, small website.
But interesting points being raised by him.
I love the fact that he says, I now look Korean, therefore I'm Korean.
Ain't that interesting?
I don't know if I'm allowed to make any comments about this.
Some of the other points I picked up on, I have a friend who used to date a Korean girl, and in South Korea, they think plastic surgery apparently is just a normal thing to do.
Yeah.
The same way of getting your eyes plucked.
And he fell out with his girlfriend over this because she went out and got plastic surgery, and he was like, what the heck?
I didn't want this, and now you look weird.
My sister spent a few years teaching in South Korea, actually, and she said that one of the interesting things they do...
Is get surgery to give themselves double eyelids like the Westerners?
Because they want to look Western style?
And he's done the opposite.
But he hasn't...
Has he got the eyelids done?
I can't tell.
I mean, maybe.
I think so.
They're also not like Western eyelids anymore, I would say.
I suppose not.
But, I mean, it's never going to be perfect because it never is.
But I mean, when he says, I was very confused about my identity, I agree.
Has that gotten better?
No, but the question is, who did this to you?
Like, it's not normal for someone who looks like they're about 20 years old to actually be confused about their identity.
Normally, you have a fairly strong sense of self-identity.
Even as a child, you know who you are.
Like, you know, for a 20-year-old to be like, I don't know what I am.
Okay, well, who did that to you?
So we'll go for the next clip in which he says, please no bully, essentially.
It's a little bit confusing for some people.
Nobody's ever come out as Jimin or Korean, but this is something that you guys know if you've followed my journey for the last eight years.
I've really struggled with identity issues, with who I am.
You know, with who I am.
It's a very tough one.
So I've finally had the courage.
I've undergone my racial transitional surgery.
You know, I've transitioned to a non-binary person.
They, them, Korea and Jimin.
But I just want to say to people, you know, I get so many cool comments online.
I just want people to be able to respect my decision.
Don't be, you know, non-binary phobic or anything.
Just please respect that this is how I feel.
I've been very trapped in my body for so long.
And, you know, I identify with the Korean culture.
I've lived in Korea.
I speak the language.
I have the Korean look now.
I look completely Korean.
If you didn't know who I was, you would just think I was a Korean person.
Not a man or a woman, just a person.
That's...
Oh God, I'm getting visions of colonial stereotypes about the Western view of the Asian men who can't grow beards.
Oh, Korea, they don't have gender in Korea.
They just have persons.
There's no man or woman in Korea.
They're all non-binary out in the Orient, I hear.
According to Oli.
The other thing that's in my mind is the pronouns.
So we're all familiar with the new gender of, look at me, that is non-binary.
Just please give me attention.
And they, them, which are not pronouns for an individual, but for a group.
So that's why it sounds so weird when you say they is sad.
And then you have the point that he's like, yeah, because I'm Korean, my pronouns are Korean Jimin.
How does that even work?
I don't know.
Like, you know how you say, he is sad?
You know, Korean is sad when you're speaking about him?
As if he's the true Korean?
I mean, in the same way that trans women are the real women, unlike actual women, who are cis.
You know, there's a subcategory for them.
Are we able to do this with the same thing here?
I hope so, because this is actually fantastic.
This is the one true Korean, folks.
No, no, no.
But this is something that we love and respect and defend transracialism on this podcast.
We think that transracial kids are just as valid as cis-racial kids.
And we hope...
Sorry, did Ollie change their name?
Jimin, is it?
I don't know.
I'm not sure if Jimin is actually a new name.
He said his Korean name is Jimin now?
Okay, well then Jimin, we wish Jimin all the best, and we recognise that they look exactly like a regular Korean person.
They all just look like people.
And yeah, we totally support this through intersectional logic.
And I want to see the progressives' position on this.
Yes.
Because I've seen...
Ben Shapiro retweeting this.
I've seen...
I can't remember the guy who used to grow up in Saudi Arabia.
I can't remember his name.
We interviewed him.
Zuby.
Oh, Zuby, yeah.
Yeah, him retweeting this, being all love.
Stunning and brave.
Stunning and brave.
And I want to see the progressives retweeting this.
I wonder what their takes are on the whole thing.
How could they possibly tell him he's wrong?
So we'll go for the last clip here, in which he says, I'm sure there are other transnationals out there, and I'm standing up for them.
And also, I mean, as we thought, and as you might have thought, this looks a bit like a troll, and this looks a bit like seeking protection, but no one goes through this many plastic surgeries for a meme, surely.
I can't believe that it is a troll at this point.
So let's play the last clip.
No one's done this before, but I just want to take the brave step to, you know, do this because I'm sure there's many other young people out there that do identify as Korean or maybe as Japanese and they don't have the strength or courage or they don't know the words how to express this and it's a very, very tough thing.
You know, people online, like YouTubers, they always say, oh, he does things for attention, like...
Nobody would do this for attention.
Nobody would go through this much pain, this much suffering.
I've had 18 surgeries in total for the last eight years.
Nobody would do that to themselves for attention.
I'm doing this because it's how I identify.
It's how I feel.
So I just want people to please be respectful in the comments.
Please be respectful online.
As I said, I'm non-binary now, so I can be addressed as they, them, Korean or Jimin.
So they slash them slash Jimin slash Korean or core slash Ian Korean.
That doesn't make any sense, but okay.
No, no, that's fine.
Sorry, you can't cut up the word Korean into two separate parts and then those are the two pronouns.
That doesn't make sense.
Like, even if I'm agreeing with everything else you're proposing.
Yeah, there's been a lot of sense up until that point.
And it's like, wait a minute, I've got questions.
Oi, hang on.
You can't cut the word Korean into, but you can plastic surgery a face into becoming a different race slash ethnicity.
That's true.
We love transracials on this podcast.
Not he.
They.
They is keeping up with the bit.
It makes you sound like those pigeon articles from BBC Pigeon.
So if you go to his Twitter here, you can see another one of his.
Hashtag trust the science.
And then like a praying emoji, Korean, and then a DNA emoji.
Yes.
Soyance.
Yes, much science.
But if we have accepted that science is teaching us that we must be able to chop off our genitals and then claim that we are the other sex...
Well, the logic is pristine.
It is pristine.
It is completely congruent.
And just because there might be some anti-trans racist activist in the comments who has a transgender flag in their background saying...
Science doesn't back changing your race, then that, unfortunately, would roll back quite a lot of other progressive achievements.
So I'm afraid science has to back changing your race if it's going to back changing any other immutable characteristics.
You also say trans flag?
That's the conservative trans flag, not the new one.
Yeah, you bloody conservatives.
But there's some other posts from him that are a bit like, come on, is this a meme?
I don't even know, but I'm edging towards no after looking at all of his video content for the last few years, and also the surgeries.
Him tweeting out, war on woke, in all caps.
Sounds good.
And then the next one here is also strange.
Trans rights are human rights.
Yes, they are.
I support all the LGBTQI plus K slash J community.
Me too.
Korean slash Jimin.
Obviously.
Who doesn't?
And believe everyone should be able to be who they want to be.
And then a bunch of emojis.
Sorry.
Hashtag LGBTQ. I always identified as six foot five.
And then another racist in the comments there.
You can't just add Korean and Jin to the LGBTQ martyrs.
Oh, I think you're wrong!
We'll get onto that in a minute, in fact.
Damn, a racist.
So...
Transracial phobes?
What's wrong with you people?
There's also the next one, which is a bit strange.
Like, I don't know what's going on.
There's another video of him in a bandage, and then in like a doctor's surgery, I guess.
Something like that.
And then him posting real eyes, real eyes, real lies.
666.
Hashtag Olly London.
Hashtag Korean.
Hashtag transracial.
Right.
So, I'm just saying that perhaps people with mental illnesses shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
It's very transphobic of you.
But...
Also...
But that's where this logic leaves you.
Yes.
Also, we do support transracial Korean kids, so...
Nope, not my kids.
Anyway, so, if we go to the next one here, I mean, this is an academic debate that's been going on a long time, obviously.
Rachel Dolezal, Talcom X being of our own examples.
And transracialism is what became known as America.
The Hypatia transracialism scandal.
Because for Americans, I mean, only one nationality exists.
American.
That's it.
So all the divides are along racial lines.
So can a black person become white?
Can a white person become black?
And the debate was tough because the intersectionals don't know how to counter it at all.
But the national part as well, I think, is really interesting.
The idea that you can become Korean by looking Korean and that's it.
Just plastic surgery your face until you're that group.
That's how it works to become a woman.
If I want to become Italian.
I mean, literally, that's literally how their logic works.
So you couldn't deny being a progressive.
So this is an academic article talking about this a while back.
So you can see here, in defense of transracialism.
I like a birth sex...
Indicate a widespread social perception that is neither possible nor acceptable to change one's race in the way it might be for changing one's sex.
What the fuck is birth race?
Well, the race that they were born, in the same way as the sex that they were born.
It's...
The newspeak involved.
The talk like a progressive is unbelievable.
I know.
Considerations that support transgenderism seem to apply equally to transracialism, although Dolezal herself may or may not represent a genuine case of transracialism.
That's pretty racist of you to ask.
It's genuine.
Her story and the public reaction to it serve as a helpful illustrative purposes.
So, someone trying to defend this because they're like, well, I mean, it does fit our logic.
Yeah, they can't deny it.
an arbitrary intrinsic characteristic can just be externally modified to resemble something of another group's arbitrary intrinsic characteristics, then, in the case of transgenderism, and they have to be accepted as that gender, then how does that and they have to be accepted as that gender, then how does that not And of course, the answer is it does, and that's why they had to write this, saying, well, look, we're kind of stuck in this position.
The only defence the author had there was, well, Rachel Dolezal is not legitimate.
She could be a troll, but obviously she wasn't a troll either.
I don't think Jimin is, though.
No.
I think Jimin's pretty bloody serious.
I think Dolezal is.
I think they're people with genuine cases of, like, real identity confusion.
And again, the answer is, the question is, who did this to you?
Anyway.
Is that something we should just normalize, or is that something that needs medical treatment?
Normalize asking, who did this to you?
Who put these ideas in your head?
So we go to the next one here.
This is the response to that from the progressives trying to reason themselves out of it.
And again, it just looks like a panic.
So against transracialism, revisiting the debate.
This article critically reflects on some of the themes and assumptions at stake in the transracialism controversy and connects them to important works in critical race theory.
It argues that the analytical account of race that Tuval draws upon in her article, Sally Hagensliers, is problematic.
Politically problematic.
I agree.
It's not much of a rebuttal, is it?
It's politically problematic.
Both on its own terms and in the light of broader reflections on racialized and gendered power relations.
So, it's politically problematic.
It's hugely problematic, because what it implies is that you can simply identify out of your race, or you could identify into another race, and therefore a bunch of white people could say, hey, we're black and we're being oppressed.
Where's our reparations?
But it's not a rebuttal.
No, it's not a rebel.
They're just saying, well look, it's problematic because here is the problem.
Because our ideology is corrupt and there's no way of pushing back.
I critique Hans Lager's assumption that all racial identities exist on the same conceptual plane.
That's brilliant.
Right, so some racial identities are racial identities and others aren't racial identities.
Oh, good, good job.
That a single variable definition of a race can be applied to a particular racialized group, including white and non-white racial identities.
So we've arrived at special pleading.
Oh, this doesn't count because they're white.
They're not proper racial identities, unlike the whites who are racial...
I don't know.
This erases racialized power relations, especially where, in liberal multicultural nations, whiteness constitutes the implied standard against which an appearance of racial difference is conjured.
Define whiteness?
There's no argument there, though.
No?
Like, she's just like, yeah, but I mean, becoming black isn't just being a different race, it's being discriminated against...
And then it's like, yeah, but if the person has become black, why would they not be discriminated against?
Because, of course, they look exactly like a black person.
Because that's how this works.
Change one thing.
You would never know the difference.
Trust me.
I'll just be honest, Rachel Dolezal does actually look browner than...
All this is is special reading.
They're just saying, well, no, look, it doesn't count for us.
It's like, hmm...
In case you think all of this is completely doomed, nah, it's not doomed.
I mean, as this account demonstrates, Leicester University, sorry, Leicester Hospitals, NHS, verified account, when Jacob learned that he was pregnant, he knew he wanted to give birth at home.
And then there's a picture of a woman with a beard giving birth to a child and then they're cutting the umbilical cord.
Well, to be honest with you, the last time I was pulled over by the police, I realised it was because I was black.
I knew it.
I just knew it.
The police were arresting me because I was a black man.
And I was like, oh god.
Will the oppression never end?
I look forward to transracialism and transnationalism.
What do you even call it?
Transnationalism is completely legitimate.
And there is no way of the progressives countering it.
And in case you think this isn't going to be accepted in culture, why the hell is this being accepted?
Come on.
This was a meme.
Even Ricky Gervais called this a meme in his podcast with Carl Pilkington.
I think I remember an interview he did in which he was just like, I watched some programme on TV last night, and they said it was a woman having a baby.
It was just a bloke with a beard having a baby.
Sorry, a man having a baby.
It was a woman with a beard having a baby.
It's exactly what that is, and that you have a hospital conforming to this.
Yes, you do.
Medical professionals.
Bowing down.
And in case you think that this is all nonsense, well, that's why everyone should support people like Posey Parker, especially in the UK, which we did a premium interview with on lotuses.com, so go and give that a check out.
She's fantastic.
And, I mean, could you prove her more right?
There is no way.
I mean, she's just fundamentally, what is a woman, an adult human female, and if you don't accept that, and it's self-ID, we're going to end up with complete nonsense.
Well, Jimin has something to say about this.
Notice that Jimin isn't making an distinction between North and South Korea.
So it is racial transitioning.
It's not national transitioning.
They're not saying I'm a South Korean, although they are obviously into South Korean culture, but they're just calling it Korean.
So they are speaking of the race.
North Koreans would have a different opinion on this.
Oh, sure they would.
LAUGHTER I have no doubt whatsoever that they'd have a different opinion.
But anyway, so let's move on to the Imperial Pride Flag, because that's the only way I can think of this new variation of the Pride Flag.
So, of course, you may remember the old Pride Flag, but it was just the rainbow flag that was made in 1978.
The answer with the traditional one now, I think we can call it.
Conservative flag.
The Conservative Pride Flag, which is probably what they're calling it, in fact.
But anyway, so in 2018, someone called Daniel Croissart decided to create a new pride flag called the Progress Pride Flag.
And of course, this is the one, if we can scroll down a little bit, John, so you can see it's progressive, right?
Because you can see the black and brown vanguard with the trans vanguard overtaking about a third of the pride flags.
They had to call it progress, didn't they?
Yes, they did.
I love iHypocrite.
He predicts everything.
You know, you can't stop the progress.
No, you can't.
It's, again, genuinely imperialistic.
So we get a description of what the flag means.
The red in the flag represents life.
It makes you think about how blood is red and how often blood is thought of as the vital force of the body.
Sounding weird.
God, I mean, imagine all the thought that went into that.
Yeah, exactly.
They're probably just sitting around like, well, how do we make up the colours for the traditional ones?
Honestly, at least they didn't say communism.
Well, at least they're not going to say yellow stands for Chinese people, presumably.
We'll get to it.
Orange represents healing, which is traditional.
I mean, everyone associates orange with healing.
As a colour, orange is believed to be a fun and celebratory colour.
Fun and celebration are both healing activities.
This is really tenuous, isn't it?
If you guessed that yellow represented sunlight, you would be correct.
Oh, good.
It was representing the sun in Pride.
What?
What's the sun got to do with Pride?
The land of the rising sun.
Okay, fine, whatever.
The colour yellow is said to stimulate new ideas and thoughts.
This is sounding a lot like astrology for gays.
Just saying, right?
Okay.
Blue, of course, is for...
Sorry, green in nature, as the original colour on the pride flag is meant to convey.
Nature is a healing place.
And if there's one thing that the transgender movement has shown us, it's they're all about nature.
Blue in the original pride flag was for serenity.
Blue is a relaxing colour and soothes the soul.
And the last colour, purple, represents spirit.
Purple is often thought of as a regal royal colour that denotes pride.
Like blue, purple is considered a calming colour.
Rather than being associated with any karma, it connects us to the spiritual realm.
This is astrology for the LBGT movement.
This is just...
For the alphabets.
Literally.
This is literally like reading about the horoscopes.
This is what this is, right?
Feeling very purple today.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That's exactly what this is.
And so what do the newly added colours mean?
Of course, the colours black and brown were added to the Progress Pride flag to represent people of colour, because that's a sexuality or something.
Yeah, segregated space.
They don't believe about life, healing, or fun, or whatever the heck it is.
Nah, they're segregated.
Yeah, they're not represented by any of those other things.
No, no, no.
And then, of course, traditionally the colours pink and baby blue have been represented by boy and girl, but these denote the genders, and the white colour represents people who are transitioning into sex or identify outside of the gender binary.
Seems like a cop-out, doesn't it, Remy?
The new shape was done intentionally to convey the separation in meaning and shift and focus to how important the issues are represented on the left are.
So basically what they're saying is these are more important than you old gays.
Yeah.
The blacks, the browns, and the trans?
I mean, after gay marriage was done, universally.
You're basically right-wingers now.
Yeah.
So, invasion of the new colours, here we go!
And then, of course, there was a more recent intersex makeover, because apparently they weren't happy being represented by the white.
This design built on Daniel Kassar's iconic 2018 Pride flag.
Is that taking up more percentage now as well?
It is.
Looks like it moved a little bit.
It has.
Nearly half of it, actually, isn't it?
But yeah, so the insects community used the colours of purple and yellow as an intentional counterpoint to blue and pink, which have been traditionally seen as binary gendered colours.
The purple and yellow are already on the original flag, you dumbass.
Yes, but they are also problematic to have pink and blue there, because they're traditional colours for boys and girls.
So that's a problematic flag, and so rather than getting rid of them, they've just added some more to it.
Again, just the Imperial March of Pride continues.
Can't stop progress, mate.
There's a deeper meaning behind the circle too, and that's good.
It wasn't just arbitrary.
In a 2020 video for the Intersex Peer Support Australia, someone explains that the symbol of the circle is about being unbroken, about being whole, adding that it symbolizes the right to make our own decisions about our own bodies.
Well, I tell you what, an unbroken circle is definitely how I associate with these people.
Makes sense.
Perfect sense.
There's no mental health issues here.
At least they didn't pick a paw print, I guess.
Have you not seen that?
No.
I think it's the bear pride flag.
It's hairy gay men, and it's the paw print on there.
Although, of course, the furries are also very much into that.
Never beat the lesbian pride flag, which was literally a battle axe.
But, yeah, so, I mean, this is because intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual surgeries, both in the United States and around the world.
California has considered legislation that would protect intersex youth from such procedures, but so far has only succeeded in passing a resolution condemning them.
What on earth are they talking about?
Intersex youth?
What does that mean?
It means when a baby's born and they've got both kinds of genitals, the doctors will do a surgery to make them...
And they're upset that I didn't ask the goddamn newborn baby its opinion.
I mean, these are the people who want to pump kids full of untested drugs, but they're interested in surgical consent.
Of a baby.
Of a baby.
Anyway, so, I mean, this flag, not this particular flag, actually.
The U.S. State Department is actually slightly behind on the latest NPC update for the Pride flag.
If you can go to Pink News, tell us that the U.S. State Department recently flew the Progress Pride flag for the first time at Washington, D.C. headquarters to celebrate Pride Month.
No insect circle, though.
They must hate insects, people.
That brown's not very brown either.
No, and they're missing out the...
I don't think they're actually missing out.
I think it's just the poor quality picture.
I think it does have the trans things, but because they're quite light, you can't see them.
But, yeah, so Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced last week that the department would hold a flag-raising ceremony of the weekend and display the flag as, quote, a symbol of the diversity and intersectionality of the LGBTI-plus persons and communities around the world.
Okay, but what's that got to do with America?
The imperial attitude just flows out, doesn't it?
Ah, there are people around the world who are one of us, and therefore, we own them!
You know?
So, okay, are you sure you do?
I mean, it just seems very...
Again, hegemonic.
Anyway, I was honoured to speak as the progress flag was raised above the State Department headquarters for the first time, demonstrating to people everywhere that the United States is committed to fighting for LGBTQI plus rights at home and abroad.
Hashtag Pride Month 2021.
You can just see the conversations going on in the background, can't you?
Sir, the Chinese have banned transgender surgery for children.
Raise the pride flag of war.
Don't shun.
Is this really what we're going to go to war with China over, is it?
They won't transition.
They're children!
The priorities of the Biden administration.
Previously, of course, there were bans in place brought in by Donald Trump, who we very much miss, on flying pride flag, but not just the pride flag, any other banners on government buildings, including for this Black Lives Matter, presumably the police flags as well, the blue line flag for the police and things like that.
You weren't allowed to fly any flags apart from American flags.
Because government is meant to be government.
Yes.
It's actually meant to be inclusive of all of the people over which it rules.
It's not a campaigning measure.
No.
The welfare department is not there for democratic campaigning purposes.
Yes.
And, you know, good for Trump for saying, look, American buildings for the US government can only have American flags on them.
Deal with it.
Anyway, this of course is something that America is going to export around the world.
You may remember the stimulus bill from December that had $10 million earmarked for gender programs in Pakistan.
I have strong disagreements with Pakistan, but that's too cruel.
What's the selling?
How do they sell this to the Pakistanis?
So, we'd like to teach your kids about feminism and gender identity.
Oh, what do you mean?
Well...
Let me explain to you about what transitioning is.
Don't worry, you'll get to steal 90% of the money for your own purposes, but let me poison your youth.
Yeah, and so this is everywhere.
I mean, this is in Taunton, a nice town in the southwest that has decided they're going to have a newly painted pride path.
Oh god, and they went with the progress thing.
Racial pride.
Yep, the invasion is in progress, as you can see.
If you're Taunton and you're black, you're segregated off from all the other gays.
There we go.
But bad news for Taunton, really, because this seems to be an old version of the Pride flag that needs the latest updates, because Sadiq Khan, the very progressive mayor of London, tweeted out this...
The Stonewall riots happened half a century ago.
Yeah, and 10,000 miles away, but okay.
But the message of freedom, equality, and justice rings as true today as it did in 1969.
It's basically exactly the same, isn't it?
There's nothing changed.
I proudly stand beside LGBTQ plus Londoners, as we remember those who fought for everyone's right to love who they love free from prejudice.
Sounds like something a pedo would say, to be honest.
I mean, that's literally the battle cry of Nambla.
Yeah.
So, well done.
Yeah, well done, Sadiq.
But also not if you're black and brown, because then you're segregated off from the rest of them.
That's true.
But let's then talk about his pride flag.
I mean, what is this?
Where did this come from, Sadiq?
Where did you find it?
I should mention that 50%, sorry, someone did the math, 50.4% of the original is left.
Yeah.
So we're down to literally half.
Half of the Kingdom of the Gaze has been eaten up by the Imperial Intersectionals.
And more to come, no doubt.
I mean, eventually, maybe the Pride Flag will just have a little rainbow in the top corner or something.
Just remember, this was a Pride Flag once.
I like how they had black and brown on one side and did black and brown on the other as well.
Just do it twice.
The Vanguard is coming in on each side and eating up your territory.
But the question of what the other colours on the side were, weren't they non-binary or something?
No, my understanding is they're meant to be the bi flag, as in bisexual, but that was already represented by the traditional flag, which...
And are they really the most oppressed group?
Also, just why not throw it out?
Just why not paint wash the whole thing, black and brown or something?
If that's what you want to do, Steak, just do that.
I mean, eventually...
What's with this game of every couple of years, getting rid of more and more percent?
I'm okay with it.
I'm okay.
Let's let them be consumed by their own movement.
You knew I was a snake when you took me in.
But anyway, so, I mean, of course, we embrace tradition around here and we support the Conservative Pride flag, which was someone's response.
We can go to the next one, John.
Reject modernity, embrace tradition.
I agree.
I agree.
But to be honest with you, this is how I really...
You know what it used to stand for, the Pride flag?
The rainbow.
The rainbow.
Yeah.
You ever heard of that?
The covenant between God and the Israelites.
Back in my day, the rainbow was in there.
Part of me that hopes the Bible's true now, to be honest.
Anyway, so the next one is just what I post on Gab, because I made this up because, frankly, this is how I feel about it.
If this is the banner that we have to fight under, I hope we lose.
Sorry, there's no way I'd be fighting for this trash.
No, it's collectivist nonsense.
It has nothing to do with homosexual tolerance or anything of the sort.
It's just, this has been done so subversively.
And it represents, just, it represents pure self-interest.
It's pure self-indulgence.
There is nothing about pride or any of these other trans, racial, anything, that is something noble and outside oneself.
It's all about a person who has identity issues.
Struggling to understand where their place in the world actually is.
And so it's all about them.
So I don't care about you.
I don't know you.
You know, I care about the people I know and love.
And so I'm not interested in your abstract categories and theorizing about this nonsense.
I just hope that we lose to the Chinese at this point.
Because that's the thing as well.
This is all obvious foreign nonsense.
I mean, the racial collectivism there.
And then the original flag itself as well.
I can understand in a period in which homosexuality is not tolerated in Britain, you could use it as a symbol of like, were this group people think it should be?
But that's long gone.
Long gone.
Like, I've never seen a situation in which that's not been the case.
In which case, you'd fly the flag of Britain, because Britain represents gay tolerance.
Britain represents British people.
In the same way, you wouldn't need a flag of anti-slavery, you'd just use the British flag.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And the thing about this, though, is that notice that straight people have been just completely excluded.
There is no place for straight people in Pride.
Because, I mean, the original, the rainbow, was meant to be just, we're here to be accepted.
Yeah.
But then, that's happened.
In which case, we're not adding everyone and their mother as a new group.
Why not straights?
But we're going to get rid of the straights.
We don't need them anymore.
Like, what's the super straight as well?
Like, we're the super straight colours.
Yeah, they're not on there at all.
No representation.
Which is why an American rapper has decided to start a hetero rights movement to resist the gay empire, which Pink News took well, as you can imagine.
Yeah.
This is a rapper called Lil Mama, and she's starting a heterosexual rights movement to protect from bullying by LGBT people after she made transphobic comments.
So she said something that was considered sensible in every other country, and they were angry.
So children are too young to smoke cigarettes, too young to drink alcohol, too young to get a driver's license, too young to go to a club, too young to gamble, too young to rent a car, but old enough to cut off their genitals and or change their gender.
This is insanity, America.
Yeah, she sounds like a bad person.
Then she referred to trans people as, quote, depopulation at any cost.
What?
Well, I mean...
Well, like Bill Gates is trying to depopulate the world and he's...
Well, she didn't say Bill Gates is...
Yeah, yeah, but you know...
But the consequence of this probably will be a reduction in population considering half of them are castrating themselves.
I don't think they're going to succeed in making half the world trans.
I'm sure they'll try.
I am sure they'll try.
Well, we don't know how imperial this is going to get.
But of course, she got a huge amount of backlash to this and said, well then, fine.
I'll start a heterosexual rights movement to defend against this.
And she wrote on her Instagram, you'll fight so hard to be respected and some of you not all get a kick out of bullying people for having an opinion or option, sorry, how they dress, how their hair and makeup looks, how much money they have, etc.
But there are so many people who are afraid to give their honest opinion because if they do, the LGBTQ plus will hear what they want to hear and take the statements out of context.
It's a great point, though.
Most of these people involved in virtue signaling endlessly about how inclusive they are, they're just there for the bullying.
They are just there to be online and bully people who they can just cry as evil.
We have a very defined line.
It's very clear.
If you are on this side, then you're good.
If you're on that side, you're bad.
And we will come after you all over social media and do as much as we can that is horrible to you.
Now you can tell it.
You can tell it.
That's why they're there.
Oh, it's transparent.
So yeah, good luck to her heterosexual rights movement.
It looks like in the new world order, the intersexual world order, it'll probably be a necessary thing.
It's just madness.
Just madness.
But I mean, you know, combine this with the transracial Korean, I'm like, okay, sure.
I mean, I'm just in an absolute...
It's like, no, no, seriously.
I went to, when I was on the Isle of Wight, I went to, you know, one of the sort of like fairground things.
And there's a hall of mirrors in there.
And this is what it feels like being in.
Like everything is just upside down and distorted and weird.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
I love the claim of heterosexual tolerance is actually true, though, because, I mean, it's demonstrated with the super straight movement.
Coming out of super straight, well, that's, you know, bigoted, that's discriminatory, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, you're not tolerant of me being super straight, then, are you?
No, because you're a Nazi.
Anyway, speaking of Nazis, let's talk about the American Stalinist economics professor who is making waves on Twitter.
So this is Dr.
Astar Baer.
He apparently got a PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and has taught economics since 2001.
And he's a communist, a very proud and open communist, but not just any kind of communist, he's a Stalinist.
So imagine getting taught economics by this guy.
I'm like, look, I think I deserve my money back.
I don't think this guy knows anything about economics.
Like, call me cynical.
Imagine paying for this.
Yeah, and so out of nowhere, for some reason, just one day, he was like, yeah, so, Stalin was great, by the way.
He posted a Twitter thread.
People say I idolise Stalin.
Not true.
I hold a fair and balanced view.
We've got the Twitter thread.
The man was neither a saviour nor a saint.
Yeah, but nobody ever said that he was a saviour.
Except you, maybe, when you're praying.
Except communists in the 50s, I guess.
But he was at once a very successful revolutionary, a great contributor to Marxist theory, and said to be a great listener and collaborator during discussions.
This is just like Hitler apologetics.
Yeah, but I mean, you say what you want about Hitler, but he was a vegan, and he loved his dog.
He was anti-smoking, yeah.
He was a great listener and collaborator.
He gulagged everyone who disagreed with him.
What are you talking about?
I'm like...
That's what I mean.
It just sounds like Hitler apologetics, doesn't it?
Hitler listened to the Jews so much, he killed them all, but he did listen to them.
And then there are his great successes as a leader.
First, the foresight to fear a belligerent German fascism, then the tactical ability to successfully defeat the world's greatest invading army, combined with the strength to make tough decisions that have no easy answers.
Right, that is a weird rewriting of history, because A, Stalin didn't expect the invasion of the Soviet Union, did he?
Because he had a pact with Hitler.
Yeah, the Molotov Ribbentrop pack.
That's right.
Like, one of the funny things there I didn't think to know.
He actually trusted Hitler.
Him simping for the Wehrmacht?
Like, the greatest army in the world?
Like, the world's greatest invading army?
Okay?
I mean, not any of the other armies?
I mean, like, the American and the British Combined Forces or the modern American army?
No.
I mean, the Wehrmacht was pretty good in its time, I suppose.
It had a lot of successes.
Yeah, but still lost.
Yeah.
Yeah, it did still lose.
But I love this.
The tactical ability to successfully defeat it?
No.
The Wehrmacht lost because of their tactical blunder to get bogged down in long sieges they couldn't win.
And it literally took the Soviets...
Didn't it take months for them to eventually encircle the Germans?
Well, they just kept burning the land and falling back after the first ten days in which Stalin hid under a desk.
Yeah, but when they were...
I can't remember where they were sieging.
But they eventually managed to enround them.
You're probably thinking of Stalingrad, in which they were able to entrap and destroy the 6th Army, and then the pushback finally came.
Yes, but that took ages and massive losses.
And if that's meant to be a superior strategic victory, then oof, is all I can say.
Specifically on the point of Stalin, though, I mean, we have some great examples of this.
So if we go to the next one, I just want to talk first about the way he said he had the forefights to fear a belligerent German fascism, which is why he signed an alliance with the fascists.
That's what the Martov-Ribbentrop Pact really is.
I know a lot of people one day in the past have always called it a non-aggression pact or something like this.
No, I'm going to call it an alliance because that's what it was, right until the point that Hitler betrayed the alliance.
Because it's not just that, oh, we agree not to attack each other or we agree that these are the borders and that's it.
No, they put up a trade agreement.
And it was a way of subverting the British.
So then they had a new trade agreement which subverted the British blockade.
The Germans received 1 million tons in cereals, half a million tons in wheat, 900,000 tons of oil.
I can't believe that Hitler guy wasn't trustworthy.
Oil, though.
The one thing we were trying to keep from them, and this is why Operation Pike came up, which was a proposed operation to take down the Germans.
Sorry, the oil in the Soviets.
We've got the next one.
This is the operation here, in which we actually planned to blow up the Soviet oil refineries in Baku to screw over the Germans, but it would have meant bringing the Soviets against us, which is why they didn't do it in the end.
But also the tactical ability of the army.
Hmm.
I mean, there's a few operations Stalin's been involved with, and they're mostly a joke.
So, we have, obviously, the purge of the army, in which he purged the army of all the good people, and then the next link is just the Winter War, in which you have the Winter War, which is the results of the purge, which is he just gets loads of men killed.
Yeah, where they lose horribly to the Finnish.
300,000 to 70,000 Finnish.
And then just the next one is one of the battles he's most well known for being him personally doing it, in which the entire high command was just like, don't do this, this is a really stupid idea.
The Germans are invading, we should be on the defense.
And he's like, nah, attack.
So he took a bunch of conscripts and just threw them at the line, and he lost 300,000 men against 20,000 German losses.
Stalin.
Stalin himself was the one who ordered this, against the advice of his commanders.
Yes.
Tactical genius.
Not a great military genius.
But the thing is, a great contributor to Marxist theory is a really amusing statement, because he's the first Marxist I've ever heard say that.
I've heard many, many, many, many Marxists say Stalin was an idiot and didn't understand Lenin or Marx and so did not significantly contribute, even though he had his view of Marxism become the orthodoxy, of course, in the Soviet Union, which is the same as Mao, of course.
But the point is, yeah, he was not like a genius, like this guy's trying to paint him out.
Not even the Marxists make this point.
No, no, no.
The Marxists especially don't think he's a genius.
But anyway, so why would he defend this?
We can go to the next Twitter thread.
He says, my new friends, he obviously got a bunch of subscribers after trending on Twitter for this.
Nonsense.
I defend Stalin because of the results achieved by Soviet socialism.
Oh, it is socialism now.
I was told that it wasn't socialism by all the socialists who were saying Stalin was an idiot and got loads of people killed and killed loads of people.
But it is now socialism, so that's good.
For the ordinary masses of working people, including a massive increase in life expectancy, one of history's most rapid, in fact, dramatic decreases in infant mortality and improved health.
That's how I'd describe the Soviet Union.
Maybe for party members.
That's true.
Yeah, just everyone who's starving to death are in the gulags.
Their life expectancy has really taken up.
Well, I mean, you just leave them out of the statistics, don't you?
Because why would you?
If you take off all the dead people, I mean, the life expectancy really does go up quite a bit.
I mean, in his defense, he's a professor of economics and not history.
Improved outcomes across the board due to massive investments in public health at all levels.
I mean, literally murdering millions of people.
Yeah, but good hospitals.
Good hospitals for the party.
Soviet socialism brought universal literacy in a country which only a small fraction had been literate and invested huge sums in colleges and universities in which students were paid to study.
Interestingly, Stalin killed 16 million Christians, burned down dozens of churches and cathedrals.
Leaves that out for some reason.
Don't know why.
I also love how all the socialists are always like, yeah, the literacy rate went up.
It's like some grand deed that couldn't be accomplished ever.
It's like every Western country had already done this.
Just because Tsarist Russia was backwards, that doesn't mean this is some grand like, oh man, we did the literacy rates.
Round of applause all around.
We taught people to read.
I always hear the literacy rates thinking about when they're defending Cuba.
Cuba's got a 98% literacy rate.
Yeah, but we do.
It's always put up on a pedestal like they've cured cancer.
No one's ever achieved this before.
Everyone in the West can read.
I don't know what to tell you.
We didn't even have to become tyrannical.
But anyway, so moving on, he says, the idea that socialism leads to famine is belied by an interesting source.
Measurements of average height increase substantially during the history of the USSR. Such increases are no doubt due to higher caloric intake for children.
Higher caloric intake.
Stalin's Soviet Union.
I just want to know what measurements he's using.
Because, I mean, all of the dead people would really probably object to this.
I suppose Stalin's height went up during the...
Yeah, his width went up.
That too.
This is just such a weird cherry-picking of data.
And this is how, like, you know, there's lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Because this is exactly it.
Because, I mean, obviously, if you're ignoring all of the people that starved to death, then sure, their caloric intake isn't important because they had none.
Now, we go to the next link here.
I mean, this is just the Holodomor, you know, one of the pictures from that.
It's just dead people dying on the streets.
And just to be clear, this was a totally man-made famine.
It was a combination of Lysenkoism and forced collectivism.
So you took all the people who knew how to farm, declared them kulaks, heretics, killed them.
Well, yeah, wealthy peasants they were called.
Why?
Because they own a cow.
Wealthy.
Peasant.
Very wealthy.
Much wealth.
Wealthy peasant.
Yes.
That's literally what it means.
Yeah.
That's literally the double thing.
But the point is, they resisted forced collectivization, so like, but Mfarm, and then they either got shot, gulagged, or starved.
And then really stupid science.
Forced confiscation of any grain stores they had.
And then, yeah, exactly.
Combine that with the ridiculous science of...
Science?
Of Lysenkoism, which decreed that actually plants were socialist and not inherently competitive, which obviously anyone with a pair of eyes would be like, what are you talking about?
Like wheat has proletariat solidarity.
Yes, class solidarity.
If you plant more of it closer together, it has solidarity with each other and totally doesn't just starve for the water.
Yes, and of course deeper underground for some reason as well.
And this is also what Mao did, which also led to his great famine, which is very, very interesting how our dear professor doesn't know any of this.
Oh, he does, but he says it didn't happen because it wasn't real socialism.
It's not just the Holodomor as well.
Did you say that?
I didn't say that.
I mean, you've got the Kazakh famine as well, but you've also got places like Katyn, in which Stalin just ordered 20,000 poles to be shot in the back of the head.
There's loads of other instances of mass executions, Katyn just being one of the easiest examples for the video evidence.
I think it was the Germans who dug up the graves, and the Germans took picture of it, and then they had the Swiss come over to verify it, because then it wasn't just fascists saying this.
They're like, yeah.
I mean, they're the Germans, and even the Germans were a bit weirded out by this.
The Germans were like, oh, this is a bit rough.
So, yeah, so anyway, the guy is lying a lot.
But these lies did, of course, get him trending on Twitter.
But that's not a great surprise, because every day on Twitter, something like Marx, Nazis, Holocaust, or Jews trends every single day.
So it's actually a rare and interesting occurrence, the Stalin trends.
Because normally nobody's prepared to actually make a defense of what is possibly history's worst mass murderer.
Actually ahead of Genghis Khan.
So good job, Dr.
Astaire Baer.
Good job.
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
It's literally like Hitler apologetics.
Yeah, but look at Hitler's amazing road system.
Yes, but he did kill millions of people.
Yeah, but...
I bet that's never happened as well.
His contributions to National Socialism...
He's correct that that is editorialising by Twitter there, pointing out that Stalin did kill millions of people.
Technically true, yeah.
I mean, sure, but it's also a fact.
But the other part there, I just imagine a Twitter employee ever writing like that for Hitler.
Like, trending in the United States, Hitler.
Economics professor so-and-so applauds Hitler's grand roads, all the rest of it.
But people point out he did kill lots of people, you know.
No, no, no, they wouldn't write anything that complimentary.
But he carries on with these thoughts for some reason.
I hope it's obvious that whenever you criticise a country, particularly when you use terms like evil, monster, and genocide...
We just use those, just generally.
You are implicitly arguing that your own country does not do the same or worse.
No, it doesn't.
No.
At no point has the United States deliberately starved its own people.
It just hasn't happened.
Like...
There's no Katyen.
Like, there's no just open execution of loads of civilians.
Why?
Just because?
They might rise up against us?
I mean, maybe you could argue back in the 18th century or something.
There was, you know, attacks on Native Americans.
Yeah, but there's no Katyan.
Like, there's no just, line up all the women and children and shoot them in the back of the head, and then dump all their bodies in here and walk off.
And then forcing people to starve to death, and stealing all their stuff.
Millions upon millions as well.
I mean, even Tsarist Russia looks better compared to the Soviet era.
Yes, it does.
Anyway, so he carries on.
You are arguing that your own country does not do the same or worse, and the Swiss are probably just like, look, we've got real problems with the Soviet Union and what's Switzerland ever done, you know?
I mean, from a Swiss point of view, I think you could actually argue that really convincingly.
Since the USSR is accused of killing millions of people, it's only because of all the bodies, the DA is accused, the default assumption is then that the US, Britain, France, Germany and Japan and the other countries which make up the imperialist powers of the world have killed zero people.
Who says that?
Who says that?
Japan never did anything wrong.
That's why they got Newt, because they did nothing.
Who says that Germany never killed anyone?
Who says that, Doctor?
Doctor!
Like, I mean, don't go wrong.
The US, Britain and France, we killed lots of people too.
Like, lots of people die, but the reasons that they die are what's important.
Yeah, lots of Germans.
It's just amazing.
I'm afraid that nothing could be further from the truth.
Well, then, why did you make it up?
No one says that.
Doctor.
No one.
Ever.
The countries I have mentioned all have death tolls well into the millions.
Yeah, millions of Germans.
But of course this is particularly true of the US, which routinely kills and displaces tens of millions all over the world.
Oh yeah, it just does it.
What do you mean tens of millions?
Just for the fun of it.
Displacing tens of millions.
Not going to tell you where, but they just do this, right?
Oh no, he gives an example.
Oh, okay.
Three to five million in Korea.
Yeah, let the Americans did that.
Kim Il-sung never invaded the South and the South had to retaliate and call in the Americans for aid.
And then the Chinese invaded to try and bolster the communists who started the war.
Yeah, the Americans did all that.
The US then killed two and a half million people in Vietnam.
What happened in Vietnam, Callum?
Just, just, communists didn't do nothing.
Like, there's a war between communists and the United States.
The Americans killed everyone.
That's where it ends.
The Stalinist professor's like, yeah, the Americans are the bad guys.
Didn't you know?
It's like, sure.
But just anyone who dies anywhere near the Americans in the communists having a war, the Americans killed them.
Like, tree falls in the woods.
You know, a person dies, even if he's been shot by Mao, America did this.
Analyzing societies is complex, nuanced work.
Unless you're talking about the Soviet Union, of course.
That's where I start this.
It's just America's fault.
Yeah.
It requires that we recognise the many contradictions that all societies have, and the modern nation-state is built on blood, full stop.
But what do you think the Soviet Union was built on?
Yeah, I mean, like, literally Romanov blood to the very beginning, before anything else.
But then we come to find that, apart from the lies told about socialism...
The lies told about socialism.
It has a record of actually delivering what is promised.
Rapid industrialisation and economic growth while an economy that is structured for the needs of the average person.
I mean, this is fantasy land.
Absolute fantasy land.
It's just like, we've got rapid industrialisation.
Yeah, but you killed half the village, mate.
Yeah, but we got the industrialisation.
It's like, yeah, there's a cost-benefit here.
Like in the manifesto, you weren't professing, also, I'll kill everyone.
I mean, he's got to Mao's point.
He was like, look, we may have to kill half the world, but then the remaining half will be socialist.
So it's like, oh, great.
While recognising that the capitalist powers and the global marketplace put limits on the power of any state, how do we know that people's lives were better under socialism?
Well, we'd shoot them if they said otherwise, I guess.
And also they'd leave at the first instant.
We had to put up big walls so they couldn't escape.
The anti-fascist wall around Berlin to stop the fascists from getting into East Berlin.
I love the North Korean defectors are desperately struggling to get out.
He's like, no, no, socialism is making your life better.
Well, we could look at literally any measure of human well-being that social science has.
Well, now you're throwing social science into doubt.
All of them, from caloric intake to life expectancy to infant mortality to literacy to absolute poverty, etc., show the success of structuring society so it meets human needs rather than capitalism, which is based on what most effectively puts society's wealth in the hands of few.
I love the whole, like, caloric intake, hike, whatever.
Body count, that's a word.
That's something we can measure.
But I just love the fact that he thinks that the statistics from the Soviet Union are in any way reliable.
Yeah, I mean, they're all garbage on their own.
Obviously.
But we have the bodies, like the skulls exist.
You can get the teeth out.
There are literally loads of people who at the time defected and said, hey, this is really bad.
I mean, it was in the late 50s when the crimes of Stalin started coming out and the left in the West had to pivot on a dime and be like, oh, right.
That's not us.
We're not that.
That's not socialism.
We're with Trotsky.
Oh, we're with the other ones.
You know, it's like, okay, you admitted.
You admitted in the middle of the 20th century that Stalin was a monster and that socialism wasn't happening in the Soviet Union.
And now this guy's like, actually, but if I just lie about everything...
Maybe it was.
What a stupid move, though, to be like, yeah, Stalin's killing people?
We're not with him.
We're with the murderer known as Trotsky.
I don't.
I mean, socialism has been through many crises.
It's like Tony Rowan being like, wow, that Hitler guy.
But now, I'm with him.
That Mussolini guy.
It's all the socialists of the 20th century, though.
It's an absolute catastrophe.
But anyway...
Folks, the bourgeoisie has tried to fool us into thinking socialism is the great killer and oppressor of humanity.
No, we will not be fooled.
That dubious crown is held by capitalism.
The sooner we overturn this system, soaked in blood and dirt, as Mark put it, the better off all of humanity will be.
This is a purely religious sentiment.
This is messianic.
If we achieve the perfect socialism that this person believes Stalin embodied in some ways...
Then humanity would be better off for it.
This is totally religious zealotry.
The bourgeoisie has tried to fool us into thinking that socialism is the great killer.
He's a part of the bourgeoisie.
No, but they're trying to fool you into thinking that socialism is the great killer.
The bourgeoisie.
I mean, if we define the bourgeoisie as all the people you're going to kill...
Historians?
No, because think like the Kulaks, they're the bourgeoisie.
The people who disagree with socialism, they're a bourgeoisie.
The Poles, bourgeoisie.
Kazakhs, bourgeoisie.
Like, so on and so forth.
Every ethnic group you decide you want to kill, they're bourgeoisie.
And a class group, you know, everything.
Everyone you want to murder is the bourgeoisie who thinks you're a great killer.
Not a surprise.
So who's not the bourgeoisie, then?
And all of those people that you're saying we're going to kill are like, hey, I think those socialists are going to kill us all.
And like, no, they're fooled you into thinking that socialism is a great killer.
Well, the body counts.
You always think of the bourgeoisie as like the top 1%.
That's all they always say.
But the bourgeoisie, when you say, literally everyone who disagrees with us, the Kazakhs, the Ukrainians, the Polish, the Lithuanians, the Latvians, the Estonians, you know, when you keep going like this, all the Jews, they're also bourgeoisie.
It's like, yeah, the 2% really is just you guys.
And the bourgeoisie makes up 98% of the population.
Yeah, someone should ask him about Stalin's opinion on the Jews.
I'm sure he is very, very progressive.
You know about the doctor's plot?
No, no, what was that?
This is after the Second World War as well.
He was convinced that all the doctors in the Kremlin were trying to kill Soviet officials because they were Jews, so he had them all gulagged.
But my literacy rates, Callum...
Yeah.
God, the socialists are such liars.
And this is before you get into all the deportations, the Jewish job blast.
There's a story, I wasn't able to factually find the truth or not, but I remember watching a documentary in which after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Act, they invaded both sides, the Soviets were said to have taken the Jews from the Polish side and given them to the Gestapo as an act of friendship to say that, you know, we're serious about this alliance.
Here, have the Jews.
Jesus Christ.
And then what do you think they did with them?
They killed them.
Well, obviously.
Yeah.
Yeah, so yeah, don't believe what communists have to tell you.
Like self-improvement general in a video game?
Cheers.
Is this what the Keto Sharia is going to look like on TV?
That's good.
What's wrong with this?
What's wrong with this?
A real Soviet-style comment.
I love it.
Very good.
Work out.
Get waifu.
Fix bike.
Yeah.
What's wrong with any of that?
No, there's nothing wrong with it.
Own things.
Be a man.
This is all good stuff.
God, I've never put you in charge of the BBC. That's a shame.
It'd be good.
So, watching the protests in London on the weekend, thousands of people not giving a damn, and there's the police standing there with their pathetic little masks on like the good state sims that they are, but they aren't actually doing anything.
And I'm looking at this thinking, this shows you perfectly.
The police are impotent at enforcing any COVID rules.
They are not going to stick out their necks for any of this.
The only reason for this debacle carrying on this long is compliance.
If the entire population tomorrow said bollocks to you and went back to living a la 2018, the state would be screwed.
They don't have the manpower or resources to deal with that, and if they tried, it would be utter mayhem.
Yes.
Especially when there's 100,000 people, whatever it was, in London, marching.
I mean, it's a huge protest as well.
And the whole point is so they can essentially bully individuals.
So if they see one guy doing it, ah, right, we'll get you.
But otherwise...
He's not wrong.
It's actually...
It was interesting when we went there.
I mean, John, the last one.
When you're in that crowd, you're in the one free pace in Britain.
Hmm.
That's a good way of putting it.
Like, you really feel that.
Hmm.
Like, you can rip the stuff off.
You can do whatever you want.
You hug people or whatever.
Police are right there.
They won't do a thing.
Shake someone's hand.
But you can do it in front of the police and the police won't do a thing.
You're the one free man in Britain when you're in that crowd.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Right lads, I'm just going to put up some photos of what I consider to be quite spicy days of YouTube, where right-wing political commentators would go to protests and other events and just get people to say what was on their minds.
I specifically think this will be quite good for Callum, considering you're younger.
People seem to think that we're left-wing by default, so just whack on a denim jacket, whack on some eyeliner, get to some protests.
People are going to say what's on their minds, and hopefully it'll be some good content.
I think he's got a point there, Callum.
With regret, I have to hand in my resignation so we'll notice he just...
Oh, God.
Oh, that's going to haunt me.
Don't do that.
That's good.
We'll put that on the social media channels.
How's it going guys?
First things first.
Love the shirt man.
Also, now that we're seeing what's happening with all the craziness in the secular West, I wanted to ask you guys, even though you're atheists, so am I, would you raise your kids religious just to shield them from this kind of nonsense?
I'd raise them Muslim.
Not gonna lie, when my kids start taking the Lord's name in vain, I tell them to stop it.
No particular reason.
I just think it sounds wrong.
I don't think they should do it.
My son was like, oh my god.
I was like, no, I'm a gosh.
I'm not religious.
Don't go to church.
Don't care about any of it.
But I'm just not having it.
Just feel something proper about it.
I actually want to raise a Muslim.
Like, if for no other reason than the advantages of cultural views, just the fact that I want them to be able to go to school, and if they ever get, you know, you're a white male or whatever, actually, like, I'm a Muslim.
So they'll be able to apply for all the jobs they ever want, because they're also now a BAME, I'm the representative, I know it's all the rest of it.
So even though they're white, they're Muslim.
That's what we're going to do.
I have created the mythical Ghost Gun.
With this, I can shoot 60 clips per second out of its detachable 100-caliber magazine.
Not only that, but because this is completely unserialized, it is literally impossible for law enforcement agencies to even perceive its existence.
I have now achieved infinite freedom and become a true American.
The great thing about that is, as well, because of the way it looks, people probably won't even realise it's a gun.
So, it looks like ferret crutches.
So, you know, that's fantastic.
You ever seen all the homemade guns that have been invented?
Yeah.
They're all fantastic, especially the Liberator.
You ever seen that one?
No.
It's like a gun that's meant to shoot once and it breaks because it's just so cheap and ass.
Right, okay.
Is this a UFO thing?
Yes, Gallup.
I've been working on a ship for the last five years.
One of my best jobs, to be honest.
Really good.
A lot of good benefits.
And I get the first three hours alone, so the entirety of Kitchen is for myself.
Wonderful.
Yeah, that must be great.
And also, it's nice to think that we're finally getting to the point where Trump is starting to reveal himself again.
I'm looking forward to the next few months.
I was there.
Man, Allspark seems to have his life really sorted out.
I love the idea of having the workspace for three hours every day to yourself.
Sounds great.
One of the things I miss about working in the kitchen as well is when you've got the ability to just make whatever you want because you've got all the chopping boards and all the knives, everything set up.
You can feed yourself well.
Hey guys.
Carl, I assume you'll be reaching out to your old mate Rucker Rucker Alley and getting a Rwanda Hotel California cover made.
That's a good idea.
That's a good idea.
I'll send him the clip.
I thought that was going to be true.
I don't know if people saw that, but the way we do the video clips is the clips we have to use for the podcast are the clips of the video questions, yeah?
So then it reroutes.
So I saw the Korean guy there.
Oh god, he sent us a comment.
I was like, oh god!
Your Koreaphobia has to stop.
Adria De La Fuente says, Do you guys think, once transracial floodgates are open, that things will recover some semblance of sanity since intersectionality and BLM will be dead in the water?
Are things going to get worse before they get better?
Well, I mean, I'm very much on the things are going to get worse before they get better.
But the thing is, I don't know what really is going to happen.
I don't want to make any kind of predictions because...
Didn't think I'd ever be sat down going, okay, there's this English kid from London who's like, yeah, actually, I'm a Korean.
Okay.
I've cut up my eyes.
Yeah, exactly.
So I've had all this surgery and I'd like you to respect that.
So, I mean, I have no idea.
It would have to be a huge paradigm shift into some sort of normal view of the world, and I don't think that that's going to happen anytime soon.
So, like I said, a 20-year plan.
We're two years into it.
So, I think the thing that will happen in about 20 years, when enough damage has been done to young people now, and they get older and they go, hang on a second, why was I allowed to do this?
Who encouraged me to do this?
Again, the question you've got to ask, who made you think these things?
Because these children are not the authors of these thoughts, right?
So who did this to them?
No, I mean, the people who are able to do this are there because they've got the power they've got in their specific position.
You've got politicians, of course, but then you've got people within departments and whatnot.
But we all know now essentially just being open, hostile to such nonsense can have problems for your job and all the rest of it.
Sure.
But if they become so absurd, I'm hoping that essentially that paradigm shift happens in people's minds.
And you're just like, nah, okay, and then they become so absurd that all of them just lose their positions of power.
That would be nice, yeah.
Because everyone just ridicules them.
It's not going to be anytime soon, though, unfortunately.
Ridiculing is the way.
It is, but you have to have a constructive alternative, which we don't have yet.
Elliot says, does anyone remember the time when Dawkins got an award removed when he said, if you can argue to change your gender, it's hard to argue you can't change your race.
Yes, because they don't want to face this question.
They know that within the logic of intersectionality, transracialism lurks, gestating like an alien chest hugger and chestburster.
And they know that it's in there gestating, and one day it's going to burst out and it's going to be gross.
And they won't be able to do anything about it.
And then we'll have a swarm of aliens on our hands.
So, yeah.
Omar says, We knew this was going to happen.
If you decide to change your gender, regardless of your mutable sex characteristics, what's stopping you from deciding any of the other ones?
My bet is species will be next, what with all the furries and otherkin two-spirit nonsense.
But I'm more worried about age for obvious reasons.
No matter how many letters they add to the LGBT acronym, there's always the unsaid P lingering at the end.
That's correct.
That's true.
And that's, again, why Sadiq Khan's love is love slogan seems like the sort of thing a pedophile would say.
As long as there's a plus, that plus alludes a P. That's true.
We can have all the letters of the alphabet.
P is one of those letters.
George says, some of Ollie's posts read like a parody, but I'm guessing these people are vapid enough to believe their own BS. The alphabet lunatics rejecting transracial people is hypocritical, but all of this is about PR and power, so they don't care.
Considering all that, do you think that gay marriage was basically the first stepping stone towards the institutional conquest of the SJWs?
No, not really.
There are lots of liberal arguments for things like this, secular arguments.
What is the first thing, then?
Well, I mean, honestly, it seems that it has been a kind of Trojan horse, in a way.
Like, the Marxists are aware that the liberals are like, hang on, if we're going to have a secular society, which we should have...
And we should have essentially like a sort of blind state towards these things, then of course gay people should get married.
Yeah, I agree.
But then the Marxists are like, yeah, so here's a load of other stuff we'd like to shift in under that.
And for some reason the liberals decided they were going to accept the Marxists into their own ranks.
I just don't understand why.
I suppose it's fundamentally the term equality, so fighting for gay equality rather than equal treatment, for example, and then you get the racial equality types, and then transgenderism of course gets you all these ID questions.
Yeah, and it morphs from equality to equity.
Now we can't be treated equally, we have to arrive at the same place.
Which one means which, out of equality?
Equity means fairness.
Right, but that's...
Equality means sameness.
Okay.
And so to achieve fairness, you can't treat people samely.
So you have to be treated differently to be fair, to get equality.
Matthew Hammond says, are governments, colleges and companies going to accept transracial identities?
Well, how can they refuse?
Maybe transracial diversity as well.
Yeah.
Representation.
Maybe we should write up a transracial course and sell it to companies.
How many trans-Koreans have you got in the company?
Well, that's not enough.
Definite lack of representation.
God, Ollie London is going to be the richest man in the world by the end of this.
Was Focahontas ahead of her time?
Yes, she was.
She can identify as Native American as she likes, and you can't take that away from her.
She hasn't done the surgery yet.
Two number nine says, the culture nowadays is basically the same as you let your children make all the important family decisions.
Yeah, it's exactly what it is.
I saw the other day going around on Facebook and, you know, some communist on Twitter have been like, look, bedtimes are a capitalist invention.
And I'm like, okay, but I'm not arguing with a toddler about communism.
Like, you know, you're going straight to bed and this is capitalist oppression if you want, but that's how it works.
I pay the bills.
Bed.
Was he an adult?
I assume so, yeah.
It's like something...
Imagine your boy saying that.
No, he...
We feed him that nonsense.
No, he understands the need for a bedtime.
Owen says, at what point can we just all green up and become trans orcs?
Pronouns E-M-Git.
The Imam of Dibley says, so what makes a person Korean?
Oh, just the shape of their eyes.
Seems kind of biologically essentialist, doesn't it?
Supreme Duck says, turning Korean is one thing.
At the bare minimum, work on the accent.
Yeah, right now, I didn't mention this, but that was the thing that I found most atrocious.
Here's a cheapo, crappy London accent.
I'm a Korean.
If you were literally genetically Korean and you had that accent, I wouldn't think you were Korean.
I have seen a video of him speaking some Korean, and it sounds in the typical, like, almost anime nonsense style that is presented in K-pop.
Luke says, We said years ago that if you allow transgender, then what stops people becoming transracial, transage, etc.?
And yes, indeed, we are here.
There have also been attempts at transageism, but it seems to have been a fetish.
So, thankfully it didn't catch on.
Well, this isn't.
Henry says, so if they don't identify as British and instead identify as Korean, do they need a visa to stay in the UK or can they be deported?
Oh, that would be amusing, wouldn't it?
Well, if he's only transracial, you can still have British citizenship.
That's true.
If he's transnational, then yes.
national alexander says ollie cannot be korean because uh you see uh they i'm gonna because we might get in trouble uh hasn't experienced the oppression of being in the most educated highly paid racial group in society asians are invisible because they are left off the top of the top earnings by gender and racial group charts oppressive white men just have to be on top instead are we not getting pretty close to the attack helicopter here I mean, what's the argument?
I mean, I've got to use the pronouns of the clearly mentally ill patient who's walked in and demanded he's a Korean.
While the attack helicopter chap down the road is walking up here, what do we do then?
I mean, maybe the Stardust Professor's got a point about capitalism, to be honest.
Because if you're a doctor and some kid walks in, like a 19-year-old kid walks in, he's like, hi, I'd like to surgically modify my face to make me look Korean.
You'd be like, hmm, I'm clearly dealing with a mentally deranged child, but I'll take the money.
But it's 20 grand.
Yeah, exactly.
20 grand's 20 grand, I mean...
Rob says, there should be a law protecting mentally ill people from having damaging cosmetic surgery and the surgeons carrying it out should be struck off.
Well, that's very transphobic of you.
Yeah, how dare you.
How dare you, sir.
Israeli Crusader says, I blame the Koreans for this.
The Europeans too, but now the Koreans are on the list.
There are a lot of people to blame for all of this, I'm not going to lie.
Omar again says, race-changing surgery is going to be, I got an embarrassing tattoo when I was young and stupid times a thousand.
What did Michael Jackson have done to him?
He had a skin disease, I think.
Oh, it wasn't surgery?
Well, I mean, he had surgery on his face afterwards, but I'm pretty sure he had a skin disease.
Miles says...
Someone fact-check me on that, because I'm not an expert.
Miles says, honestly, gobsmacked with the non-binary Korean individual.
How is this not surgical Korean face?
I mean...
John's in the corner going yellow face.
I mean, there's the thing.
Black face is bad because you've potentially taken shoe polish and shoved it on yourself.
But what if you tattoo it into your skin?
Then is it black face?
Because you can't take it off.
It wasn't your choice to put it on either.
It's just there.
So Sardock Spamfish says, Holy F, I went to uni with Ollie.
We were on the same course.
He looked and acted like a normal guy back then.
Yeah, but that was before he was on the internet, wasn't it?
So I guess if you still got his number, text him and find out if it's a troll.
I think it's not a troll.
Brian says, now that the communist science says that yellow eyes is okay, is it okay to get out the boot polish?
Good question.
Kelly says, can we also change class and status?
Because I'm pretty sure this ass is royal.
Move over, Lizzie.
I now identify as the queen.
Oh, what's the argument?
I identify as an aristocrat.
Royal heritage.
Yeah.
What's the argument?
How can you say no?
Oh, well, you know, your lineage and your blood and all those biologically essentialist categories, and we've already agreed that they don't count, so what now?
I'm going to get my monocle.
How does this continue to march?
I don't know.
Because there's no argument against it.
No one ever makes an argument against it.
What do you mean?
For some reason, the gender essentialist argument is verboten.
I mean, you should look at it and laugh, like, uncontrollably.
Or the council can paint a trans pride flag on the local crosswalk.
Al Sabaya D's Nuts says, if you just mix every colour together, you'll get a shade of black.
So imagine the pride flag will eventually just be a field of black, but not in a rectangle because that's too normative for a flag, so it'll be an oval.
Wait, so the crosswalks are going to have to be redone, so there's just black instead of white lines, and then it just looks like the road.
Okay.
And then the gay people across it will get hit by cars.
Okay.
Progressivism.
Creating a better future.
Chad Kuala says, a decade ago I used to ridicule those complaining about Pride flags taking everywhere by saying, you know, it's not like the LGBT army is going to march down Pennsylvania Avenue with the rainbow painted tanks, topple the government, tear down the US flag from the White House and replace it with the Pride flag.
But somehow that doesn't seem too far off now.
I agree.
I mean, your generals are woke.
They're putting up the pride flag on American buildings.
Like, the goal is to save gays around the world.
It's a genuinely imperial goal.
Also, as we've seen, the pride armband is our thing.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'm sure you can talk about that tomorrow, can't you?
Sigh.
John Wheatley says, I love the new Pride flag.
Black and transgender ideology literally driving a wedge into the LGB movement.
These people have no sense around it.
Yeah, it's literally a vanguard invasion force.
This is T-Town now.
Yeah, it's mad.
Jacob says, doesn't the orange colour on the Pride flag represent Trump supporters?
It's not very inclusive, is it?
Progress is putting the black and brown LGBTs at the back of the flag.
No, no, they'll reach the front of the flag eventually.
They're the front of the pincer, aren't they?
They are.
They are.
Israeli crusader.
I give them five years to completely remove the gays from the list of intersectional identities.
Ten years, trans people will be removed.
Well, that's the thing.
There's actually kind of no internal justification for trans people being treated differently if they are women or if they are men.
Because if you're distinguishing between cis and trans, then you're not accepting that they're the same.
And therefore, you're being transphobic, which means essentially when someone transitions, they...
They're transphobic now.
Well, not even that.
They give up any right to being part of the protected group.
So, I mean, not wrong.
Kelly again.
Haha, nature is a healing place.
Yeah, that's a good point.
No, nature is a beautiful bastard that would have us all destroyed silently if it wasn't for the real men of the world protecting us.
Also, nature blatantly says man and woman not kind of a man and any hole you can fit for fun.
That's a good point, actually.
Nature is not really very forgiving or progressive.
North Antonian Knight says, Sadiq's pride flag is really turning into the dad's army intro.
Who do you think you're kidding, Mr.
Carnage?
Yeah, it's just the invading pride flags moving across the continent.
Aaron says, that's a dad's army intro looking more and more familiar every time the NPCs update the software.
Yeah, it is.
Justin says, will there be some sort of singularity when the two arrows of the new pride flag meet?
Well, I'm just very interested how it's going to be like the black...
The Black Vanguard interacting.
I mean, what's going to happen?
They'll combine, and you'll get like a black line, and then two brown lines next to them, and then the trans lines, and then white.
And then that's it.
100% of the original gone.
I like the way we can logically deduce what the new pride flag's going to be like in fighting this time.
When two armies make a pincer movement like that and just encircle and destroy their opponent, they form a new line.
You've just got a BTFO'd gaze, I'm afraid.
There's no getting around it.
You've got no choice.
You've been encircled, literally, both sides.
Yeah, they're literally being taken over.
Like, again, I just...
I don't think there should be a pride flag.
This whole thing's nonsense, but like, just watching them losing on their own ground, it's like, oh, sorry, lads.
You know, bad luck.
Anyway.
Sorry, I just had to refresh.
You okay?
Yes, I am fine.
Right.
I.S.
Stalin's foresight was to fear German fascism.
He feared it so much he happily kept his forces away from the borders until Hitler broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and then had a nervous breakdown and was unreachable for two days.
I'm pretty sure it was a week that he was unreachable for.
I think it was 10 days.
It was 10 days.
So he disappeared and there's a load of different historian opinions on whether or not he had a nervous breakdown or he had a heart attack or he would just ask himself or what.
And then afterwards then he came back and was as useless as Hitler.
He kept interfering with his commanders.
Yes, indeed.
It's less scorpion and frog, more scorpion and dumber scorpion.
Just go show how stupid, supposedly intelligent people are.
A cursory glance at history, a book would inform the professor otherwise, but he's so far up his own arse, he'd see it as bourgeois lies.
I mean, he literally thinks it's bourgeois lies.
Israel Hay says...
I think literally he knows that Stalin killed millions of people, but he thinks that's a worthwhile cost for utopia.
Yes, but I think publicly he'll lie and say Stalin didn't kill millions of people.
Sure.
Stalin nuked a hell of a lot of his own generals.
Like a week after the invasion, he refused to come out of his room.
Winter came to the Red Army's aid after Hitler thought they could conquer the Soviets in a single summer.
This is hardly tactical supremacy on behalf of the communists.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, if the communists' resistance to the invasion of Russia is tactical superiority, then God help the rest of us.
Like, that is just the worst.
I mean, how many men did the Soviet Army lose before they started winning?
I don't know off the top of my head.
It'll be in the millions.
Yeah, it's going to be in the millions, right?
It's not like just hundreds of thousands.
And even then, that would be bad enough.
It's going to be in the millions.
Um...
Tom Wye says, uh, you're still not doing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact justice, with the description given.
Within it, Germany and the USSR have split the rest of Europe in spheres of influence to be occupied or puppeted.
Uh, yeah.
Stalin's victories were truly Pyrrhic, and that's a generous take on it.
Yeah, no, I mean, if Pyrrhic had losses like Stalin, my god, he wouldn't have, he wouldn't have...
It wouldn't have gone out of the pyros.
Alexander says, if you kill off millions by starvation, especially infants and children, the course of life expectancy is going to skyrocket years later when people stop dying of starvation.
Two years ago, the life expectancy was 25, but now it's 50.
We're doing great.
That's exactly right.
Brian says, average heights increase during communist control because food is only put on the top shelf and short people die of starvation.
Oof.
Christine says, Carl, what do you think of a bit of alt-history?
Honestly, I've had enough of it from a Stalinist.
Maybe an Epoch episode with Bo about what you think would happen if there were time glitches and a detachment with Caesar runs into invading Normans in Britain?
Caesar would defeat the Normans.
Alexander meets Saladin's army.
Alexander would defeat Saladin.
Saladin wasn't really a particularly good general, to be honest.
He was okay, but he was the best they had.
The Byzantine army invading Italy meets Hannibal.
Hannibal will eat them alive.
Superdise Mongol scouting forces face German World War I army on the Ukrainian steppe.
Well, the Germans are going to kill the Mongols because they have guns.
and doubtless a much larger force in fact um based bulgarian says calum recently mentioned oswald mosley on the podcast is an interesting quote on the media what is press freedom in practice it means the right of a few millionaires to corner paper stocks on shares on the stock exchange to voice their own opinions and interests irrespective of the truth of the national interest where he sounds like a socialist there doesn't he that's all he's gonna say He's not going to see anyone setting up their own business.
I mean, this.
Is this run by millionaires?
No.
No.
Like, that's a very reductive way of looking at it.
I mean, that's literally what the socialist press is saying, or the Murdoch press.
Like, there are other things.
Yeah.
Especially in the world of...
I mean, you could argue in the world of like Jordan Peterson does, of before the internet, you know, setting up a cable station that's having mass media is very expensive.
But with YouTube and all the rest of it, you can contact a third of the planet for the cost of an internet connection.
Hmm.
Hammurabi says...
I'm surprised he needs help with this question, but I'll do my best.
How does the Pope of Dadism recommend asking one's crush out on a date?
That's yours.
I know, but I was wondering what your opinion was.
I'm asking a question on the date.
Just ask him.
Do you want to go out?
No?
All right.
Yeah.
No, no, but that's the correct answer, basically.
Forthrightly is the answer.
Obviously, try not to do it when they're surrounded by people because then it puts them on the spot and it becomes weird and uncomfortable.
But if you can find five minutes to learn and say, hi, look, I'm into you.
Would you like to go on a date?
And if they say yes, they say yes.
If they say no, they say no.
Either way, you say, okay, great.
And you walk off with your head held high.
That's how you do it.
Oliver says, Hi chaps, just want to say thanks for all the great content of the past year.
Been a subscriber for a few months now.
Really appreciate the good work.
Well, thank you very much.
Definitely had a huge effect on my sanity through these nutty times we're going through.
Keep it up.
Ollie, identify as English, not Korean.
Do we want him back?
No, no, this is a chap called Oliver.
This is an English Oliver.
Almost On Point says, What are your opinions on Laurel Hubbard, the New Zealand transgender weightlifter going to the Olympics?
I'm all for it.
Because I'm a misogynist.
Accelerate.
Accelerate.
My girlfriend is a molecular biologist and sees no issue with it.
She suggested that in the future competitive sports would not be male and female, but done the spectrum of testosterone levels.
Brilliant.
That's a fantastic future that we're heading into.
We're going to define women as low testosterone males.
Ha!
Oh, women, you've just become the intermensch.
She was annoyed that I just wasn't having it.
Have we got to the point where now biologists are accepting of that kind of thing?
The transsexual will demolish the women and it should be clear that this is unfair, or at least you would think so.
It is clear that this is unfair, except your view of this being unfair is also you not buying into transgender ideology, which makes you a transphobe, which means you have to be persecuted.
It's also a great example of scientists not being good at politics.
That's a massive embarrassment for the biologist to buy into such a thing.
Like, objectively not true.
And yet, if they're believing it anyway, discipline's gone.
There is no discipline there.
Eugene says, Hey Carl, during the Alex Jones podcast, you seem rather taken aback by the revelation that the US government and Planned Parenthood were trafficking in dead baby parts, which they are.
You can go and watch our Alex Jones was right to podcast about that if you want to sign up on Logistics.com and find out all of the things that Alex Jones was actually right about, which is surprisingly many, although not about Sandy Hook.
I also wanted to ask if you were still pro-choice, and if so, why?
Because I haven't spent any time thinking about the subject.
Safe, legal, and rage just seems easiest.
Yeah, it would have been nice, wouldn't it?
I'm still not convinced by the conservative argument that it's life at conception.
It just doesn't wash with me at all.
I haven't come up with a good counter-argument.
I just don't believe you.
As soon as you put the sperm into the egg, that's not life.
To me, it just doesn't hit.
Well, I mean, it is literally a life, though.
It's a potential life.
That's even what the conservatives say.
No, it is still alive.
But that's the thing.
They'll say it's a potential life, therefore you can't kill it.
And it's like, what?
No, that's wrong, though, because it is a life.
It is alive.
It is growing.
Yeah, but by that standard, the sperm was alive to begin with.
Sure.
Well, then masturbation is genocide.
No, because the sperm isn't a human being.
Right.
But when a sperminator comes together and they start growing into a human being, that's a human being, isn't it?
That's a human.
Is it not a human?
I'm not convinced.
Okay.
I don't know at what point it becomes a human being.
I don't have any good arguments about this.
No, I just try to avoid the subject and pretend that I don't know that the US government is trafficking in dead baby parts.
Who's willing to bet that all of these statistics were better in England than every other capitalist country?
Well, we don't need to bet.
We know.
We should have got the statistics up, really, just so we could have shown.
But yeah, no doubt.
And there are great graphs out there you can find.
Where it's literally like, you know, life expectancy for the Soviet Union.
Fall of the Soviet Union, life expectancy.
It's like, look, we know that the Soviet Union I don't know why they're even still trying to beat that drum, because the thing is, going back, I'm going to defend Stalinist Marxism.
Why?
They're so much more advanced now.
That's a really remedial form of Marxism to try and defend.
There are much more advanced versions that we're plagued with now.
I don't know why they chose Stalin either.
I know your point.
For the same reason I'm a constant defender of Pyrrhus and Pyrrhus.
You just happen to like the guy.
What is there to like in Stalin, though?
His moustache?
His uncompromising attitude?
I love genocide.
Vote Bernie.
Q-Lax with Bourgeoisie, I don't know.
Oh, God.
Anyway, probably time to end the show.
So, if you want to get more from us, go over to LowesEars.com.
We have loads of premium content on the site.
As I mentioned, go over and watch the Posty Parker interview because she's fantastic.
And also, at 3pm, so in half an hour, we should have the segments from the Batley Free Speech and Tolerance March that Lawrence Fox set up.
I'm really interested to see what George Galloway's speech was.
Yeah, I like him talking.
He's been simping the Muslim vote as well quite hard.
God knows he says awful things.
I wonder what his position is on the teacher.
