	Hello and welcome to the podcast Lotus Eaters for the 18th of August 2021.
	I'm joined by my special guest, Jotan The special guest we were meant to do didn't happen so we rearranged.
	Yeah, I've had to move that to a date in the future but we're back to our usual setup.
	Alright, so if anyone's wondering about that, that's why.
	Anyway, what we're going to go through today is Nance Watch.
	Again, this episode's going to be in Afghanistan, because of course it is.
	Also the tyranny down under, with the COVID tyranny in Australia and New Zealand.
	And feminism being destroyed by Taliban and logic, by the looks of it.
	Anyway.
	So, let's get into the links on the website first.
	So, first thing to mention is we now have a page for the event.
	So, if you go on to Lotases.com, you can find the events links there with some of the details.
	As mentioned, the location is South London and a precise detail will be given to you via email after buying a ticket because, you know...
	You know the reasons.
	Because of the way London is.
	Anyway, so that's there.
	Go and check that out.
	Other stuff to mention is the new premium content we have on the website.
	So first thing here being the book club Roger Scruton.
	Where are we now?
	So this is a book club Carl did in which he read Roger Scruton and then was explaining to me why Roger Scruton is so important.
	And I do need to read some.
	I don't know why I haven't read Scruton before.
	But yeah, go and check that out.
	So it's basically an assessment of what Britain is, where we should be, and what British conservatism is.
	I need to definitely watch this because I don't really know much about Scruton.
	You don't really hear much about him.
	And I've heard Kyle talking about him very positively.
	Yeah.
	Well, the Conservatives endlessly talked about him positively, and then, well, because he was the only British Conservative left, you know, who was doing stuff.
	And then, well, he died.
	So, we've got zero now.
	It's not like his ideas just went with him.
	It's very strange that it just cuts off there.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so there's that.
	There's also the next thing to mention, the Rome vs.
	Scotland article, I believe.
	If we can get that up, the next one.
	So I believe Beau wrote this.
	Yeah, he did.
	Writt this?
	Wrote this.
	Jesus Christ, my English.
	Anyway, so go check that out.
	I think that's free.
	So that's stuff on notices.com.
	But first, let's get into Noncewatch.
	So this episode of Not Swatch is going to be in Afghanistan, because of course it is.
	And to explain this, I want to tie this in with the current situation of refugees, because that's the problem with all of this, fundamentally.
	So here's the news from Priti Patel, saying on the BBC that she set up a new scheme to take 20,000 Afghan refugees, first 5,000 to come in the first year.
	So this year we're going to get 5,000 Afghan refugees.
	Again, remember we changed the rules so you don't have to bring your passport to prove who you are because, well, the government collapsed.
	Therefore, I don't know how we're verifying these people.
	They haven't told us how they're screening them to make sure they are actually translators or people who work with us and not nonces, but that's something she said.
	But the question has to be asked.
	There is a difference between our duty to refugees to keep them safe and the duty for them to come to our country.
	Those are two different things.
	There is one thing, keep them safe.
	Another thing, send them to the UK. Because you could send them somewhere else.
	You could pay another country, handsomely, and say, look, we will pay for that upkeep because we're sending them to you because the integration of them into Britain is going to be different than their integration into Saudi Arabia, let's say.
	I don't even understand why 20,000 as well, because why are we taking responsibility for people fleeing the regime which they didn't even put up a fight despite our help?
	They clearly didn't really want to fight them in the first place, so why should we house them when they flee the regime?
	Why 20,000 is the correct question.
	Because there's only 20,000 interpreters in total for the entire campaign.
	So it's not about them, because Canada's taken 20,000, America's taken tens of thousands, and so other countries will be chipping in as well.
	It's pretty much only going to be the Taliban and government left in Afghanistan by the end of this.
	I don't know why we can't just take the French approach and be like, no, because we have been through this problem.
	Anyway, so I'm sure it'll all be women and children, just like Priti Patel has been able to say about those coming over in boats.
	No, no, it won't be, of course.
	You can see David posting here.
	Confirmation from Priti Patel that 8,500 people arrived in small boats from 2020.
	87% of them were men.
	74% were between aged 18 and 39.
	They said they'll be giving priority to women and children for those 5,000.
	I'm not very hopeful, I'll be frank.
	Anyway, so the Taliban, correctly, people have pointed out, are a bunch of barbarians and a bunch of hetero-pedos, as in heterosexual pedophiles, let's put it that way, because homosexuality is a haram.
	There's a reason I'm mentioning hetero there.
	So you can see from this article, just an example, Taliban, rape gangs, hunting girls as young as 12, so now that they've taken over, they're being very Islamic about the situation, and they are a bunch of pedo-barbarians.
	Yep, that's true.
	But also at the same time, the guys that we were propping up were also a bunch of pedo-barbarians, except they're pedo-barbarians of the homo variety, let's say.
	So we go to the next link here.
	This is Baku Bazi.
	So this is the Wikipedia article.
	You can read about this in your own time in length if you want.
	But this is a practice in Afghanistan and Pakistan that translates as boy play.
	Yeah.
	It's a custom created in Afghanistan involving child sexual abuse between older men and younger adolescent males or boys who are called so-called dancing boys.
	Practiced in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as mentioned, and during the Afghan civil war, Bakabazi carried the death penalty under the Taliban.
	So, I mean, that's fundamentally different.
	Do you want heterosexual pedophiles or homosexual pedophiles?
	No.
	I don't want any of this.
	Yeah.
	Barbarians can go be barbarians elsewhere.
	I don't want any of this stuff imported into the UK. So, as mentioned, it was a death penalty for them.
	So, under post-Taliban government, the practices of dancing boys was illegal under Afghan law, but the laws were seldom enforced against powerful offenders and police who had reportedly been involved in such crimes.
	And as of 2020, despite international concern of its illegality, the practice still continued.
	Until the Taliban are back now, and they'll just be, well, not much changing.
	Like, everyone's still nonce, but they're not noncing on boys instead.
	You can start to see why the Labour Party's so fond of Islam now, can't you?
	And this isn't some far-right rumour.
	No, we can get stories from the US soldiers who were told to ignore it from the American government.
	Because it's a cultural practice and we must respect their culture.
	There is nothing to respect about their culture.
	Jesus Christ.
	Especially when it comes to this.
	So here's a quote from the article.
	At night we hear them screaming, but we're not allowed to do anything about it, the Marine's father, Gregory, recalled.
	His son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012.
	He urged his son to tell his superiors, quote, My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it's their culture.
	Being a nonce was the culture of Afghanistan, according to the Americans who were in Afghanistan, and then when the Americans who want to promote freedom and liberty go over there to serve, find a bunch of nonces, they get told by the government, just ignore it.
	It's culture.
	Like, great.
	In this article, there were some guys who went out and then beat up a bunch of nonces because they were sick of having to deal with this, and the American government took them out.
	They were just like, no, you're not going to be involved anymore.
	We're taking you out of Afghanistan for beating up the nonces.
	So the American government actually protected these people as well.
	Yeah, these were the guys we were propping up.
	Not just in the South.
	It's endemic throughout the entire regime we were propping up.
	And it's not like the Taliban are any better either.
	They're a bunch of noncers as well.
	So the American policy of non-interventionism is intended to maintain good relations with the Afghan police and the militia units the United States has trained to fight the Taliban.
	A lot of work that training did.
	Accepting all that noncery for that army which totally was going to fight the Taliban.
	Yeah, they're unbelievably incompetent.
	It also reflects a reluctance to impose cultural values in a country where pederasty is rife, particularly among powerful men, for whom being surrounded by young teenagers can be a mark of social status.
	And the reason I'm mentioning this and laboring it here is because pedophilia is offensive to us Westerners, not the locals of Afghanistan.
	It cannot be accepted within a community this rifly if it is not accepted by the locals.
	And that is the culture of Afghanistan.
	So that's the thing you have to keep in mind when someone says to you, let's just import tens of thousands of refugees.
	What are their views on Age of Consent?
	That should be the number one question before you accept them, in my opinion.
	Also, just to evidence this even further, we have the footage of the chap who went over there and just filmed them talking about, yes, we are a bunch of nonces.
	So if we get the next one up, let's play this clip, which we played before, but I'm going to keep playing because it needs to be in everyone's face when thinking about the refugees.
	Why was there a boy on that BB? Why did that commander say to you?
	If they don't F the asses of these stories, who will they F?
	He's not a country.
	We told him that he's a country.
	We told him that he's a country.
	He told him that he's a country.
	He's saying the boys want him to be there.
	Which begs the question more, why would they be trying to escape?
	And in one case they tried to poison, one of them tried to poison the policeman so that he could escape and that's what led to him being shot.
	That's what we were dealing with.
	These guys were on our side.
	We were propping them up.
	And that's video footage of, it's not just stories in the newspaper or something.
	No, this is real.
	The guy in charge of multiple police bases is like, yeah, we do that.
	He says it on camera.
	Says it to the Americans.
	And the Americans just have to deal with it.
	He doesn't even say it as if it's even a point of shame.
	No.
	He justifies it, really.
	He's just like, well...
	Doesn't he say it something along the lines of, you know, it's their right to do so, or something along those lines.
	I don't think he used quite that language.
	He said the police commanders were raped as boys, therefore it's their turn to rape boys.
	It's like, right...
	If it's that culturally accepted to the point that a man in charge of the police force can say that openly and feel no shame, that's how bad this community is with paedophilia.
	Right?
	Keep that in mind.
	Jesus Christ.
	So do they drop this when they get on a plane and come to the UK or the West or the United States?
	No, of course they don't.
	Who's stupid enough to think that?
	Anyway, so let's go through just a few articles about this.
	So this is the first one here, Daily Mail reporting.
	Asylum Seeker, who gang-raped girl 14, avoids deportation from Sweden to Afghanistan by refusing to take a COVID test after other migrants shared legal loophole on Facebook.
	This is in May 27, 2021.
	The next one, Afghan refugee raped 11-year-old girl in Germany.
	Report, this is in February 18, 2021.
	There should be another link in there.
	Sean, there should be a new next one.
	But anyway...
	So, just getting that up.
	But anyway, this was in Germany.
	Again, another example of an Afghan refugee who engaged in this.
	And there should be another link.
	This is the Ramsgate grooming gang.
	I think I told you about this before.
	Because this is the case in which Robin Tomlinson got so battered for.
	He came down to Canterbury after some guys were alleged of gang-raping children.
	And he tried to warn people by handing out, I think he was going around talking about it, and then the court found him in contempt of court because of this, and then the guys were found guilty.
	So, here you have the story.
	Laughing Afghan refugees are guilty of gang-raping girls 16 in flat above a kebab shop.
	This was in Ramsgate, I believe.
	Yep.
	There's that.
	It's so awful.
	I mean, I don't even want to talk about it anymore, to be honest.
	No, it just goes on and on, though.
	So if we go to the next one, the Wikipedia link, you've got Maria.
	So, EU official.
	She was an EU official's daughter.
	Maria was found raped and drowned 16th October 2016 by an Afghan asylum seeker.
	And the reason I'm mentioning this one in particular is because her with a few other girls who were murdered by Afghan asylum seekers started a big conversation in Germany about we may have messed up big time by accepting literally the entire world into Germany.
	We go to the next one.
	This is another example.
	Mia.
	Mia was murdered by an Afghan asylum seeker who was her ex-boyfriend.
	He also lied and said he was a child when he came into Germany.
	So that had that loophole.
	You can come here if you're a child and everyone just lied.
	So it seems like they're deliberately exploiting the system, like with the COVID tests and lying about your age and stuff like that, just to get into these countries to cause untold misery to the native population.
	Yep.
	We're going to the next one.
	We've got another example of this.
	So this is, I don't know how to say her name.
	Marili, murdered by an Afghan asylum seeker who was also Eric's boyfriend.
	He also lied, then said he was a child when he was coming to Germany to try and get access.
	So any loophole you give them, they will take advantage of.
	Such as saying you don't need your passport.
	Pretty.
	Anyway, we could go on.
	We could talk about the terrorism involved in all this, but I thought I'd just end it there because you get the point.
	You get the point.
	There are extreme risks with importing tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan, a country where the culture is accepting of pedophilia at the highest levels.
	So what's the Labour Party's response on this?
	I mean, I'm mad at the Conservatives, but the Labour Party just takes the cake with this.
	Here's a new Labour MP. Refugees welcome.
	Just tweets that out.
	Oh, stunning and brave.
	Fantastic.
	Jesus Christ, these people have no thinking whatsoever.
	Also, I want to make out that I'm not saying they're all child rapists, but it takes more than a minority of a community to accept paedophilia to have it be accepted by a community.
	So, don't give me the BS of like, oh, you're not saying they're all...
	Hmm?
	All it takes is most.
	Let's go to the next one so we can have Diane Abbott talking about this as well.
	Diane Abbott, we have an obligation to offer safety in the UK to men and women feeling violence and persecution in Afghanistan.
	No, we don't.
	We have an obligation to offer safety to these people.
	They could go into Pakistan and be safe.
	Iran could send them to Saudi.
	In the UK? I don't think so.
	I really don't think so.
	I mean, I'm so tired of this kind of rhetoric where we have an obligation where whenever something goes wrong in the world, we have to allow them to flee to our country as if that's helping anyone.
	Do we have an obligation to allow Colombians fleeing the drug trade into our country?
	I don't doubt that our population helps fund it.
	and saying these are the interpreters or these are the people who are going to be killed by the taliban or something like that sure we'll be as charitable as possible and say that no one's going to abuse this they're 100 clean you know everyone's an angel i don't care there is a difference between keep them safe and keep them in your country there's two different standards and no one seems to make this difference when talking about this issue we can send them to somewhere else we don't have to take them to the uk to be settled
	i'm i'm willing to entertain the the people who actually helped us militarily because they are they are posing real risks and the taliban are actually going door-to-door looking for these people And of course there's the old adage of service guarantees citizenship and they've provided a service to our military and they've helped us militarily, potentially saving people's lives.
	So I think they might deserve citizenship, but just random citizens?
	No, definitely not.
	Absolutely not.
	They're the ones that also passively, at the very least, if not actively, support the Taliban we were fighting a lot of the time as well.
	Most of the time.
	I mean, not only her, though.
	Let's go to the next one here.
	So this is Kim Johnson.
	Remember the black MP for Liverpool, who's obviously not black, but for some reason everyone just accepts that she is.
	20,000 refugees should be the start.
	The start.
	We're going to start with 20,000.
	Whatever number you give them, triple it.
	And that won't be enough.
	You say that number, it's changed the...
	If Priti turns out tomorrow and is like, oh, well, 60,000.
	No, they'll want that tripled again.
	There is no end to what these people demand.
	I mean, the 20,000 figures just plucked out of thin air anyway.
	How do they come to that decision?
	Just pick a number.
	Just deal with it.
	So 20,000 refugees should be the start.
	The government need to open the doors more widely and more urgently.
	Now.
	Why?
	Why?
	For who?
	Just, they hate Britain.
	I'm sorry, but this is what Labour MPs are all about.
	You see them talking like this.
	What possible reason could she have for being like, no, we just need to import everyone from Afghanistan who wants to come?
	Get voters, maybe.
	I don't know.
	The Muslim bloc in the UK votes pretty much Labour.
	What was it, 80% of the time?
	Something like that?
	I think it was 90.
	90?
	Even more than that.
	So to them, that's just their only chance of winning an election is by importing loads of people who are going to vote for them.
	She wants to live in Afghanistan.
	Well, I'm more than happy to fulfil that wish.
	If she wants to go to Afghanistan, then I'm more than happy to raise the funds for her to do so.
	But I'm not prepared to turn Liverpool into Afghanistan.
	If she wants to do that, that's her being evil.
	Anyway, so Islamo-Labor is also mad about this.
	So we get the next one up.
	So you have Zahra Sultana.
	So you remember the French being like, yeah, we're not going to do that.
	We're not going to import loads of people who are going to be a problem because we've already done this.
	We did this four years ago and it turned into a huge error.
	So the French learned their ways from this.
	Macron saying that he wants to protect Europe from migratory throws from Afghanistan.
	And you have Islamo-Labor being like, this isn't leadership.
	This is inhumanity.
	No, you're the inhuman ones.
	You are going to get people killed and raped with your stupidity and your...
	To be honest, I think they blindly want people to be killed and raped from all of this.
	I think they know and they just don't care because they want to destroy the country they live in because they hate the West.
	Anyway, so there's more from her, which is just insane.
	So we go to the next one.
	As tens of millions of people flee war persecution and the effects of climate breakdown in the coming years one principle will be non-negotiable if we want to live in a humane society.
	Refugees are welcome here.
	What about the refugees who kill and rape people?
	Multiple times.
	I gave you the stories there.
	We've given you the cultural situation on the ground in Afghanistan.
	One of the worst regions on earth for this sort of thing.
	Sorry to say it, I'm sure there are lots of people who helped us militarily.
	I'm not sure about bringing over tens of thousands of people in a system that is going to be abused into the UK or the West.
	I'm going to say I don't think that's right.
	They should be sent to some other country in the Middle East.
	They don't have to be sent to the West.
	So let's go to the next one.
	So what are the Turks doing in all of this?
	Well, they're taking the French approach, being based, and building a wall.
	The Turkish government.
	They're literally just building a wall because they don't want to deal with this problem.
	I mean, surely they've got more in common with the people of Afghanistan than most of Europe, right?
	Yeah, and even they don't want them.
	Yeah, well, I don't blame them.
	Fair enough.
	So, construction of a wall along hashtag Turkey's eastern border with Iran neared completion mid-fears of an influx of Afghan refugees fleeing Taliban rule.
	Turkish government is just like, we're not dealing with this.
	We don't want these people to come to us.
	Why?
	Because they want them all to die?
	No, because there is Iran in between them and Afghanistan.
	And that's a safe country.
	There's no war taking place there.
	You could go and live there.
	Or we could resettle them elsewhere.
	But not in Turkey.
	Thank you very much.
	The absurdity as well that they're asylum seekers, but Afghanistan is so far away from the UK, you've got to cross route basically most of, you know, the Middle East, all of Europe, to get to the British Isles.
	My understanding is the preferred route is to take a bus through Iran, get over the Turkish border, take a bus through Turkey, and then go through Europe that way.
	Just hop over to Greece with the rest of them.
	It's like a backpacking holiday.
	Yeah, it's an adventure for these guys.
	I mean...
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	So Young Labour have also had to say something about this, because of course they have.
	So in here they denounce American imperialism, because, I don't know, they're run by goddamn communists, aren't they?
	Well, of course they got that Labour, I don't know what I'm saying.
	So in here they also say that they welcome Afghanistan refugees, quote, in particular women, girls, LGBTQ people, and minorities such as the Hasra people, Hindus, Sikhs, and others.
	Why not keep going?
	Yeah, and others.
	I mean, why not?
	It just needs higher country.
	Every minority group.
	Why not?
	Because, I mean, pretty much everyone's a minority when you get down into it.
	But I love the idea that we should also take particular care of the Hindus that are coming out.
	I don't know what percentage of Afghanistan is Hindu, but what if there was a state that could take care of Hindus?
	What if there was a Hindustan, perhaps, who could take care of such a situation?
	Looking at you, India.
	I feel like this sort of thing we can put on to other people.
	Not everyone has to come to Britain.
	Britain is not Hindustan.
	Jesus Christ.
	So this has to be the best one, though, which is Richard Bergen.
	Corbynite.
	We should pay reparations to the Taliban.
	Vote Labour.
	I love this image as well.
	I mean, Turning Point UK do get dunked on a lot, but this is a good graphic.
	I'll give them that.
	Just Richard Bergen with an AK. They're like, Allahu Akbar, Habibi.
	We are here to give money back to the Taliban.
	What do you mean, back?
	I think people should be telling the world that the Labour Party has people in it that want to pay reparations to people we were fighting.
	It's like, yeah, we lost a war and we're willingly going to pay them reparations.
	So how is that going to make us look on the international stage as well?
	Just like, yeah, we lost a war, but we're going to voluntarily give you money as well.
	So he says there is no military solution in Afghanistan.
	Well, the Taliban proved you wrong there.
	The focus should be on reparations and supporting refugees.
	What an idiot.
	Absolutely.
	Well, I don't think they're idiots.
	That's the thing.
	There's such a pattern in here that I think they willfully are just doing everything they can to weaken the West.
	Every single time.
	So this is real as well.
	If you keep going to the next one, this is Bergen's tweet itself.
	Still up.
	He hasn't lost the whip.
	He hasn't been kicked out of the laypipe of this.
	He hasn't been told, shut up, by Keir Starmer.
	This is what I don't get.
	The Labour Party will be as disgusting as possible in public, and Conservatives start crying as soon as they start getting criticised for any kind of conflict they bring up with the left.
	No.
	Never feel ashamed for being Conservative.
	This is what you're up against.
	Anyway.
	So he says we should give reparations to the Taliban.
	I wanted to mention as well that the Taliban didn't even ask for reparations in the peace deal.
	But the Americans signed a peace deal with the Taliban.
	They didn't pay reparations.
	Taliban didn't even ask for it.
	And Richard Bergen's like, yeah, but we should still give them it.
	Jesus Christ.
	So there's also the Soviet-led organization and Jeremy Corbyn-backed coalition to stop war or whatever.
	They stopped the war statement on the situation in Afghanistan.
	They also called for the British government should take a lead in offering a refuge program and reparations to build Afghanistan.
	Taliban controlled Afghanistan.
	The entire left just being like, yeah, we should give them reparations.
	State of the left, man.
	I don't even know what to say to that.
	That's so ridiculous, isn't it?
	It's beyond the realm of reason that we were fighting them for, what, 20 years?
	And they're like, you know what?
	Not only have we lost and sacrificed our people's lives to try and secure the security and betterment of the country...
	And we've spent a whole lot of money on it as well.
	We also should pay them for that privilege.
	We should pay them for them beating us.
	Ugh.
	Being left, man.
	I mean, this is a Labour MP, a left-wing organisation, tied to the Labour Party, being like, yeah, we should pay reparations to the Taliban.
	I don't know what else to get at you.
	But here's the next one if we can get the subs.
	This is a Facebook post.
	I saw Carl posting this repost again on Twitter with a comment.
	And I liked Carl's comment on this.
	Notice how all of her activism is designed to make Britain powerless.
	She also wants us to accept tens of thousands of Afghanis at our cost to never expand our reach around the world, etc., etc.
	The intent is crystal clear.
	And this is her saying that Britain must never again wage wars of military aggression.
	Every single time, every single statement in response to the situation in Afghanistan from the left has been, make the West weaker.
	And them wanting to import infinite Afghan refugees is another example of that, and one we should reject.
	But anyway, whilst the Conservatives are going to make us pay the price for Tony Blair by importing thousands of Afghanis rather than reselling them in the Middle East, Labour is just animating itself to find every way possible to harm us.
	Not a fun segment, but it's not Swatch.
	What did you expect?
	It's not going to get much better, to be honest.
	So, I've been very sympathetic to people down under in Australia and New Zealand.
	I know we have a fair few viewers that always ask us to cover this, and I've decided now that it's finally the time to do so, because...
	It's just absolutely insane what's going on in Australia and New Zealand in reaction to COVID. Even our press, which have kind of forced lockdowns on us, are making fun of the reactions there.
	And I mean, our government's been relatively totalitarian about the whole thing, keeping us locked up over nothing when most of the population is vaccinated.
	So the thing I really wanted to focus on here is that New Zealand has entered a nationwide lockdown over one case.
	One case in the entire country.
	I really don't understand what on earth they are thinking.
	I presume the one case is in the capital, like some shipping container came in and someone was ill.
	And therefore both islands have to be locked down?
	Yeah, because of course, if you don't know, New Zealand's split into two islands, so you've got a natural defence right there.
	But no, nationwide lockdown...
	Just imagine being on the South Island, and you're like, we're literally an island away, and we've got a lockdown because someone in the capital got sick.
	COVID's really determined to cross an entire ocean to get you.
	Well, I think it's an ocean between the islands, but...
	Yeah, well, well.
	Body of water.
	It depends on your definition.
	So the case was detected in Auckland, which will be in lockdown for an entire week, whilst the rest of the country will be on lockdown for three days for some reason.
	Just a three-day lockdown.
	Just a snap lockdown.
	Entire country for three days.
	One case.
	What are they thinking?
	What?
	It's happened in Australia as well, didn't it?
	Yeah, yeah, I'll be getting on to Australia in a second.
	So, of course, only around 20% of the population is fully vaccinated because it's not quite as far along in its vaccination programme, but also the kind of Australasian area has been relatively unaffected by the pandemic in terms of...
	Yeah, they don't have nearly the same numbers of people dying that you had in the UK, for example.
	We've had more people dying in a single day than they've had in the entire pandemic from start to finish.
	Because we're not an isolated country.
	No, well...
	We're interwoven into the global...
	And we're also the most densely populated country in Europe, so it probably doesn't help.
	But there's a thing as well, which is if they've got 20% vaccinated, that's going to be the elderly, isn't it?
	I think so, yeah.
	So the people are high-risk.
	People who are vulnerable, yeah.
	Right.
	So, the actual case was in Coromandel, which is a coastal town.
	Might have been a port, as you suggested.
	Well deduced.
	To be honest, I'm half expecting it to be a false positive.
	What, it's just like a test error?
	Yeah.
	It wouldn't surprise me, actually.
	I mean, I don't know.
	There's no mention of them having any symptoms or anything.
	It's just that someone has tested positive.
	So it could actually be that they've locked down the entire country in response to a negative test.
	We don't know.
	I mean, it's probably not right to speculate.
	Speculation on my part.
	Of course.
	But...
	The Prime Minister, Jackie Ardern, who is probably one of the worst leaders in the Western world, pally with China, open socialist, all-round awful person, said that the toughest level four rules were required for this one case, which includes things like closing schools, offices and businesses with only essential services remaining operational.
	So it's a proper lockdown, it's not...
	Just a half-assed one.
	They're doing the real thing where they're closing down their entire society for one case.
	I mean, if lockdowns weren't seen as disproportional yet, this has got to be the best example.
	Yeah.
	I mean, what on earth are they thinking?
	You'd probably lock down the sick person and anyone they've been in contact with, as any well-thinking country would, but not the rest of the healthy people and those who have never been in contact with them.
	It's like economic self-harm as well.
	They're just willfully destroying their own economy whilst taking ridiculous measures.
	So she justified it by saying, I want to assure New Zealand that we have planned for this eventuality.
	Going hard and early has worked for us before.
	So, she's supposedly taking this tough approach to prevent it from getting out of hand.
	That's her justification.
	But locking down the entire country, one case.
	I know I'm going to keep on repeating it, but...
	But it is so ridiculous.
	It is absurd, yeah.
	So, I'm going to move on to Australia, which...
	It has slightly more cases than one, but not by much, not by certainly European standards.
	So the state of New South Wales has reached its worst ever COVID situation, which, by the way, locally transmitted infections hit about 466 on Saturday.
	And the state of New South Wales has a population of 8.166 million people.
	And there are 466 cases as of Saturday.
	Does that seem disproportionate to you?
	I think it does.
	I'm pretty sure New South Wales has also done this multiple times now.
	Yeah, I mean, Australia's also been ridiculously tyrannical.
	I've heard the people at Sky News Australia talking about how they're returning to their prison colony roots, which they certainly are.
	I don't understand what's going on.
	You're meant to be inheritors of English liberalism, which cares about the rule of law and good things that we are in support of, but no.
	As you say, they're going back to their roots.
	Well, apparently that goes stronger than the Liberal strain running through them.
	So, they've also decided to increase the fines up to 5,000 Australian dollars, up from 1,000 Australian dollars, which is the equivalent of 3,685 US dollars or 2,656 pounds.
	So, ridiculous fines for breaking the rules as well.
	What are the rules?
	What can we get a fine two and a half grand for?
	Well, for example, people are not allowed to move further than five kilometres from their homes.
	And from the 21st of August, anyone wishing to travel from Greater Sydney to any other regions of New South Wales will need a permit, and anyone without a permit will be fined.
	You've got your license to travel.
	Yeah, you've got to get a travel license.
	You're basically now serfs.
	You've got to get permission from your landowner to move around the country in which you're meant to be Free to do what you want.
	Apparently not.
	So, there's also other things that I've come across where there's going to be a 9pm curfew in Melbourne and New South Wales shopping, exercise and outdoor recreation, of course, has to close.
	There are, of course, only 22 cases in the state of Victoria, but this has also warranted the essential worker permits That have been expanded around the country.
	They did before as well.
	You've got your license to work.
	Yeah, it's absurd.
	And they've also set up things which are rather unflatteringly referred to as the COVID quarantine camps, which definitely doesn't have a negative connotation at all.
	Wait, they called them that?
	Well, that's what people are calling them in Australia.
	But they've been nicknamed health hotels.
	That's like their informal name.
	And when I was looking into these this morning, I found one which is being set up at the minute, which is called Melbourne Centre for National Resilience.
	That sounds like something from 1984, doesn't it?
	Oh, it's our Centre for National Resilience.
	Well, what does it do?
	Well, this is where we keep people isolated if they have a disease.
	We imprison them.
	Yeah.
	I mean, national resilience.
	It sounds like it's straight from the CCP, not from the free Western world.
	What is going on here?
	So, people may have seen as well recently a video of a 12-year-old girl who was pepper sprayed.
	You can see here it's not actually worth watching the video because it's just terrible filming.
	It's just people's torsos and screeching.
	So I've seen...
	Saved you the trouble of having to watch that.
	If you're going to take footage of people being pepper sprayed, at least have the decency to hold your camera sideways and stay still.
	Yeah, don't film vertically, for goodness sake.
	But no, this is something that I'd actually like to address because I have seen the full video and as bad as it sounds...
	I don't think the police did anything wrong.
	I mean, they're enforcing the laws which they've been given.
	I understand the laws are unjust.
	And if you actually see the full video, these people are resisting arrest, trying to be violent when they're being arrested because they, of course, refused to give their details when they were confronted for not wearing a mask.
	They refused to cooperate with the police and then got aggressive.
	And then they're acting like the victims.
	So...
	I don't know.
	I kind of agree with the not giving the details and refusing to cooperate.
	But the thing we do in Britain, for example, in response to if it's an unjust law, is you just lay there and they have to pick you up and carry you into the thing and be like, I'm not cooperating.
	Yeah, but they were also violent towards the police.
	Which I was about to say, the aggressive part, I agree.
	Yeah, so once they were put in handcuffs, they started trying to kick the police officers and push them and scratch them and all sorts of horrendous stuff.
	And they're trying to put themselves out there as some kind of victim, when in reality they really are not.
	And this is something that I would like to clear up, because when there are legitimate cases where people are being victimised, it makes sense to draw attention to it.
	But this is one of those ones where I understand that I don't agree with the laws.
	The reason they stopped them is bad, but the conduct in response was also bad.
	Yeah, they don't do themselves any favours by behaving in the way that they did.
	And I think lots of people are showing this as just, like, look at how terrible these people are being treated.
	Why do you have to use pepper spray on a 12-year-old, though?
	Surely you could just tuck her into the car.
	I know.
	I mean, obviously some of the details of it, I mean, it's difficult to tell, especially with the filming, where it's all over the place.
	You can't really see what's going on.
	But I've seen enough where you can see them being violent towards the police officers and you're like, well, fair enough.
	Alright.
	So...
	I don't really want to dwell on that.
	You're not wearing a mask, you're coming with us, sunshine?
	Like, what the hell is wrong with this place?
	Supposedly...
	Like, they're outside as well.
	Like, we remember being told endlessly, like, you don't have to wear a mask outside.
	Well...
	I'm not defending the laws here.
	I'm just saying that it's overplayed.
	I imagine I'm probably going to get some abuse of this, but fair enough.
	So, of course, the person who actually got arrested, the 20-year-old, who was the family member of the 12-year-old girl who was interfering with the police, had actually received a fine the day before for not wearing a mask, and then the next day got confronted for the same thing again.
	When they're in a shop, they weren't wearing a mask.
	And then they were going to be issued with another fine, but they put up resistance, which is why it happened.
	So, anyway, moving on to something a bit more amusing, I suppose, is this isn't really related to Australasia whatsoever, but it's Scotland, but I just wanted to tie it in because it's COVID-related stuff, I suppose.
	So...
	It says, around 20 sovereign citizens, citizen activists, sorry, attempted to seize Edinburgh Castle today to restore common law, citing Article 61 of the Magna Carta.
	One of the activists told police officers that they had enough of fake acts and statutes, which she said were made up by paedophiles...
	I love the copper who's wearing a mask and he's looking down at some piece of paper.
	And I love the idea that just on a piece of paper it says F off nonce.
	And the copper's just like, what?
	Probably North FC action right there.
	Based.
	I don't really know what they're getting at here, but it's amusing.
	I love the idea that there are a bunch of barons as well.
	Because the barons are the ones who are meant to implement the statues of the Magna Carta to restore English liberties.
	So...
	I'll get on to the historical side of that in a second.
	So this next post here gives a bit more detail.
	So apparently about 30 people have seized the castle.
	One said, we are using Article 61 of the Magna Carta.
	We've had enough.
	The people of Scotland have had enough today.
	We claim our powers back.
	Where's your mask, sonny?
	F off, nonce!
	British conversations.
	Glorious.
	And also seizing a castle as well.
	Yeah.
	The humour of it.
	Oh, boy.
	So I assume these are Scottish people storming it as well.
	Yeah, but at least they're citing English common law as well.
	Definitely not members of the Scottish National Party, are they?
	If they're citing the Magna Carta.
	Next.
	The BBC has also covered this, which I was quite surprised about.
	So the Historic Environment Scotland, which I assume are the people who run the castle, presumably for tourists, said that a group of about 20 people entered the building on Tuesday afternoon without paying.
	Funny that they mention that.
	You don't usually pay when storming the castle.
	Can you imagine being at Constantinople and being like, well, the Turks aren't even paying to come in.
	Apparently, in a Facebook live video, a woman claimed that they were taking the castle back under Article 61 of the Magna Carta, and the BBC explains what this is.
	They say it is an 800-year-old charter of rights.
	Which was a document where the barons came together, as you alluded to, in 1215, trying to get the King of England, King John, to agree to a royal charter, which meant that the barons would be afforded some specific rights and Well, the English would be guaranteed these rights, and those rights are protected by the barons.
	Yeah, that's a better way of putting it.
	The king had been tyrannical, and the Monday example of this, and we'll run it through, so is the king being tyrannical at the time?
	They decided yes.
	The version of this would be Queen Elizabeth did sign the Coronavirus Act or whatever it is that allows the police to be tyrannical.
	Therefore, it is the job of the barons to restore English liberties by sitting the king down and be like, oi!
	We have rights, and we're bigger than you, and that's the right way to do it, according to the Magna Carta.
	Storming Edinburgh Castle.
	I don't remember that part in the Magna Carta.
	Yeah, I don't think the Queen's in there.
	They need to go to Buckingham for that.
	Maybe Windsor?
	I don't know.
	So, of course, it's the foundation of English common law, and it's not really very valid today.
	The Magna Carta doesn't really have any legal powers.
	I mean, I respect it.
	I think it's important, but I don't think the Magna Carta has...
	And the article in which they're citing as well, Article 61, was actually repealed only a year after it was signed in 1216.
	So I really don't understand what they're trying to achieve here.
	I don't know the specific article, because I don't read Latin or anything, but the idea that it's not valid I find in big disagreement with.
	It's like, no, this is the foundation of all English common law, and therefore everything else is built upon it.
	I think...
	I think saying it's not valid is unfair, but it's not really an applicable legal document anymore.
	Like, it's not consulted in a legal case.
	You don't go, oh...
	You mean if you went to court it would be weird to bring it up?
	Yes.
	I don't know, because I remember there was the fines people got for being at train stations, for example.
	There was one lady who was fined, and on the fine it said, for being at a train station.
	And then she went to court and disputed it, along with hundreds of other people, because it was coronavirus fines.
	Everyone won.
	100% of the people who went to court won.
	But I think that was just because none of the actual fines were enforced.
	I don't think that was because...
	No, they were given to them.
	They weren't legal.
	That was the point.
	The judges in each one of those cases were like, well, there's no legal basis for this being illegal, so go to hell.
	And all the fines were repealed.
	Not sure it's the Magna Carta, but I wish it was.
	Foundationally, yes.
	It's a bit of a tenuous argument.
	You could say that any kind of primitive law has influence on things being unlawful now.
	Yeah, it does.
	Well, that's how England works.
	All of our laws are primitive.
	You say that like it's a good thing.
	We're just talking about Afghanistan being backwards, and you're like, yeah, all our laws are primitive.
	Primitive as in old, not primitive as in barbarian.
	Anyway, you wanted to talk to us about feminism destroyed by the Taliban and logic.
	Yeah, it's going to be a spicy take, isn't it?
	Right, so the feminism...
	The feminism.
	I'm talking like a Russian.
	Facebook.
	Feminism has been destroyed by Taliban and logic, and this is going to go well, isn't it?
	So, here's the first one, which is the statement from the Taliban, talking about our women are Muslim, and therefore we'll be happy living under Sharia.
	You don't have to say Sharia law, by the way.
	Sharia means Islamic law, so you're saying Islamic law law.
	You told me that yesterday, and it blew my mind a little bit, because I've always called it Sharia law.
	But the point I want to make with this section is Western institutions are made up essentially of slogans.
	The institutions we tried to stop in Afghanistan, they were empty, because all they were were just empty slogans.
	And when they interacted with a real patriarchy, the Taliban, they completely destroyed themselves.
	There was no resistance whatsoever, institutionally, let's say.
	So, this is the leader of the Taliban giving a press conference in which he said, our women are Muslim and therefore be happy living under Sharia.
	It's a sound argument.
	If they do agree with that, we'll get into that in a minute.
	I love how Disclosed TV, the comment below this, they added that, unlike Biden's speech yesterday, the Taliban spokesman took a lot of questions after his speech.
	Chad energy for the Taliban.
	Yeah, questions, questions, come ahead.
	So, the Taliban have more internal accountability to their rule than Joe Biden.
	Yes.
	So far, if you're putting it on the same timeline, so far the Taliban have held themselves more accountable to the public than the President of the United States.
	2021 is a weird time to live.
	A bunch of barbarians are looking better.
	This is why I'm not simping for them either.
	I've seen some people being like, yeah, they're based.
	I saw Nick Fuentes talking about how much he...
	Yeah, of course he is.
	Anyway, so let's go to the next one.
	So one of the questions that was asked was, do you think the people in Afghanistan will forgive you for the explosions and suicide bombings?
	And the response from the Taliban was, collateral damage happens.
	Again, this is what I mean by the big PP energy they have, publicly.
	There's so much conviction in themselves that when they're confronted with something they've done that's awful, they're just like, I don't care.
	It's like, we really need to have that for liberal institutions, that conviction in ourselves.
	I don't think justifying suicide bombing is something we need for liberal institutions.
	That's not what I said.
	I said the conviction that they have in their own ideology to the point that they will defend themselves whenever.
	I'm embarrassed that liberals and conservatives don't have that.
	Socialists have it.
	Remember earlier, Richard Bergen, we should pay reparations to the Taliban.
	He's got so much conviction about his nonsense.
	I mean, you could also put it in terms of zealotry.
	I mean, you could be a zealot for socialism and Islam, but...
	I don't want to call it zealotry, because it is consistent within liberal ideology to be liberal.
	That's the point.
	We are currently not, and that's the thing we need to do.
	Anyway, so let's move on.
	So the idea that he's not wrong about the idea that women want to live under Sharia in Afghanistan, he's not wrong.
	By the polling.
	The polling the West did under the Western regime in Afghanistan.
	2013, Pew Research.
	They went to Afghanistan and polled the people there, and in this poll they polled a whole bunch of Muslim countries, but Afghanistan was in there, that the Afghan people, which I presume included women, I can't imagine Pew were not polling women into this, they agreed that there was only one way to interpret Sharia, 99% of them want Sharia.
	They also believe that adultery should carry the death penalty.
	Apostasy, leaving the religion, should carry the death penalty.
	And also, if you steal something, if you're a thief, you should get corporal punishment.
	Wonderful.
	Wonderful, wonderful people.
	Barbarians, but there's the point.
	If they actually do want Sharia...
	Why can't they have it?
	They get what they deserve.
	Let's move on.
	So this is the point being raised by some Western lookers as well.
	So this chap, if we get the next one up, he says we have 20 years of experienced people saying don't do nation building, it don't work.
	And then troops returning from Afghanistan confirming that it don't work.
	And then the establishment saying that, well, we're just going to ignore this and ignore the feedback, thinking that they know one weird trick that will work.
	It won't work.
	You cannot build these nations from the ground up, because the thing is, you're not building from the buildings up, you're building from the psyche up.
	You've got to get them in the frame of mind of even thinking about basic things like duty or not being Islamic when it comes to adultery or honor killings or all the rest of it.
	There's so much stuff on just an ideas level that is not going to be there and isn't going to be there for a hundred years.
	That's how long you're looking at it.
	There's a certain amount of arrogance that goes into the thinking that you can even change their minds.
	Like, you go in as a foreign invader, and what makes you think that they're going to be anything but hostile towards you and your ideas?
	Well, you can prove it if, say, in Germany or Japan, for example, and you destroy them and make them see the horrors of their own regime.
	We weren't able to do that.
	We weren't able to do that at all.
	If anything, we did the opposite.
	Also, there's the component that Islam is extremely effective at being internalized and being protected from outside forces, but it's a whole other conversation.
	But I don't think this can be demonstrated any better than some of the images that we've seen coming out of Taliban.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Look at that.
	So there's a guy with an AK, presumably Taliban, pointing his AK at a bunch of women, girls, kids, some guys, and behind them they have the UN Sustainable Goals poster, and number five, gender equality, and then the symbol of equality there.
	Yeah, that's a pretty stark image, isn't it?
	I love the guy who quoted this as well, so he says, globalist virtue signalling and weak socialist engineering meets sledgehammer of cruel reality.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's what it really is.
	When interacting with something that is a real patriarchy, utterly collapses.
	I mean, the idea that we could go over and promote gender equality anyway is such a stupid idea.
	I mean, we are there to promote gender fairness.
	So, fairly treat women.
	That's the idea we should propose.
	The idea that we go over with this socialist nonsense of equality and try and implement that, that's mad.
	Men and women aren't equal.
	They can't be.
	I think it's way too high level as well in that they don't even have things like proper sanitation and basic infrastructure.
	They're not going to be worried about gender equality.
	It's so ridiculous.
	But also the people who can understand it, out of those who even can, would be like, this is obviously wrong, because it is.
	You can treat women fairly and men fairly, according to the law.
	You cannot make them equal.
	That's not possible.
	But whatever.
	This is the West's problem.
	We can't figure out what we even want or can promote for the world.
	So we go to the next one.
	Let's go.
	We see them covering up women as well.
	So you can see the Talibanization of Afghanistan.
	This is all overnight.
	That's the thing.
	Like, just overnight, the entire country is changing back to where it was before the Westerners turned up.
	It kind of amazed me how people just preempted and knew exactly what they had to do to kind of...
	Keep their heads down.
	They were just like, yep, we've got to paint over these women.
	We've got to grow out our beards.
	I remember reading about hotel staff who were previously clean-shaven, and then they all mysteriously started growing beards out of nowhere.
	But this is also the polling.
	If you just poll these people there, they believe in Islamic values.
	They don't believe in Western values, liberal values.
	They don't believe in common law.
	They believe in Sharia, Islamic law.
	So the idea that we expect them to think like Westerners is just absurd.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one so we can just see more of them covering up women here.
	It's not just a trick of the light or something.
	And then we have CNN before and after, of course.
	Just the day.
	Day changes.
	They're trying to debunk this as fake news for some reason.
	Saying it was lacking context.
	No, one's the day before the Taliban get there.
	I can see it in the title.
	And then the next one is the Taliban comes to a stunning...
	What?
	The fact-checkers have gone nuts for some reason about this.
	I don't know why.
	They've always been nuts, haven't they?
	Well, of course, yeah.
	But especially so.
	You can see it with your own eyes and they're like, no.
	We also have the British version if we get this.
	So yeah.
	I did like the memes coming out of there.
	People were half expecting Saki to come out looking like the next one.
	Let's get the next one up.
	Yeah.
	Oh boy.
	We must respect their culture.
	Okay Saki.
	Right.
	So if we go to the next one as well we have the guys chanting Allahu Akbar and then they're just like yeah get lost woman from the CNN group.
	Let's play this clip again just because again I find it really interesting.
	It's utterly bizarre.
	They've just told me to stand to the side because I'm a woman.
	But she doesn't put up any protests whatsoever.
	That's what I found interesting about that.
	Well, they did have AKs.
	I understand.
	I understand.
	But what's interesting is there's no conviction in a voice being like, you know, I should go around or something.
	It's just like, no, I'm just going to stand to the side.
	It's just what it is.
	Like, as soon as you interact with a real patriarchy, it collapses.
	Everything.
	Well, yeah, of course.
	I mean, the threat of violence is a very real thing.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Yeah, it is.
	Anyway, so there's also the fact that it's mostly peaceful chanting for Death to America.
	But anyway, there's also the response I saw, Romo, when we talked about Joe Biden saying, I'm not going to die for women's rights in Afghanistan.
	Why would I? Fair enough.
	Reality.
	So actual reality there.
	And if we go to the next one here, you can see Nancy Pelosi talking about how we respect their culture.
	Respect their culture?
	What culture?
	The barbarian culture.
	This respect their culture stuff as if all cultures are created equal.
	Like, should we respect the people in Papua New Guinea that cannibalise their neighbours?
	Should we respect that aspect of their culture?
	Is that something worthy of respect?
	I also love how she says in here that we need concern for the inhumane treatment of women and girls.
	But as I've shown earlier, there was a massive inhumane treatment of boys, as in they were raping them, the police were raping them, and this was known by the administration.
	Particularly by people like Nancy Pelosi who know so much about Afghanistan.
	Well then, that's interesting, isn't it?
	Women and girls are the focus of her tweets about respecting their culture, but when, for the last 20 years, they've been raping boys.
	Who cares about that?
	Anyway.
	Let's go on to the White House, who also cites take on some weird nonsense out of this.
	So, the State Department calls the Taliban to form an inclusive and representative government?
	What an empty man.
	You've got to be joking, right?
	Does he actually believe that that's going to happen?
	Of course he doesn't believe it, but it's just, it looks like such a, you know, it's a perfect example of the skin suit, where it's just this man who is an empty vessel, just, you know the ideology is talking.
	He looks so passionate about what he's saying, I mean, really, really exudes care and passion for his beliefs.
	Yeah.
	It's obvious not even they believe what they're saying.
	But the weird thing is the Taliban have kind of learnt this facade as well.
	So we go to the next one.
	You can see the Taliban talking about this.
	So, a Taliban official told a female TV presenter, quote, I'm still astonished that people were afraid of the Taliban.
	We'll leave that there for a minute.
	The interview, remarkable given the Taliban's history of subjugating women, was part of a broader effort to present a more moderate face to the world.
	More moderate face.
	More moderate Taliban face.
	Yeah.
	Not reality, of course, because the way Taliban's going to treat people...
	Moderate and Taliban shouldn't be uttered in the same sentence.
	With a moderate Taliban.
	I can't believe it's not Taliban.
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	So they've also learned this trick of just, like, let's put the pronouns in the bio, let's say.
	Taliban spokesman tells AP that the militants are holding talks aimed at forming an open, inclusive Islamic government.
	An inclusive Islamic government.
	It includes all kinds of men.
	Muslim men.
	And very specific kinds of Muslim men.
	Apparently we've swallowed this for some weird reason.
	If we can get the next one up, this is the British Chief of Defence of Staff talking about this, and he says that the Taliban want an inclusive...
	Sorry, the Taliban want an Afghanistan that is inclusive for all.
	And I've seen the interview, and he does say it.
	And you can see Kay Burley sat across from him.
	I mean, all the problems with Kay Burley.
	She even looks at me like...
	Are you high?
	He says it with conviction.
	It's like, well, we have to give them time.
	They might form an inclusive government.
	It's just like, really?
	Really?
	Who's stupid enough to fall for this?
	The Taliban are pretty wise to be using these kinds of terms to win over credibility from our institutions in the West because it very much targets the US and the UK where this kind of rhetoric is commonplace.
	They clearly understand Who's going to be their opposition?
	Of course they do.
	I mean, it's not really surprising.
	But the fact that they're saying this really goes to show that we underestimated them because they're trying to do this to get legitimacy in the eyes of the West to become the legitimate government, aren't they?
	They're trying to secure their position.
	And through saying this kind of stuff, it makes people a bit more tolerant of them, even though they don't actually have to follow through with it.
	It's all hot air.
	So, wondering who is stupid enough to believe this?
	Apparently the UN is stupid enough to believe this, so let's go to the next one.
	The UN offers a job opportunity.
	The UN is looking for someone to advance gender equality in Afghanistan's city controlled by the Taliban.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	They're not allowed to take it over and the UN's like, yeah, we need someone to go in there and take over the job of promoting gender equality.
	Again, no, you can promote fairness along gender lines, you cannot promote equality along gender lines.
	But also, someone I saw commented, what happened to the last person who had that job?
	Don't talk about that.
	The UN is promoting suicide, basically.
	Yeah.
	Also, the reality on the ground is, of course, that the Taliban are being the Taliban.
	We have the CNN reporting this as well.
	I don't know why I'm saying the CNN today, but the Taliban has reportedly just got rid of all the women on the streets because, well, they're implementing Sharia.
	But the women want Sharia, apparently, which, to be honest, I'm not in disbelief of.
	Like, if the people there, overwhelmingly when polled by the Americans in 2013, said, yeah, we want Sharia, well, the Taliban are offering it.
	It'd be quite funny if that Pew Research poll, they just ask loads of men.
	Do you want Sharia?
	Yes.
	Anyway, so let's go to the next one as well.
	This is what I found interesting that they've also picked up.
	So Taliban spokesman is educated on the talking points most of us are familiar with.
	Speaking at a press conference today, the spokesman slammed Facebook and Big Tech for censoring free speech.
	they're growing on me these taliban folks no still the bad guys so um so if we go to the next one he so he was being asked about stuff like this you know good morning caliphate that they've set up they really should just rename it to good morning caliphate it'll be so good anyway so the they asked him a question about the fact that well are you going to have free open media in afghanistan and he responded by saying this question should be asked of those who claim to promote be promoters of freedom of speech who do not allow publication of all information and he's talking about facebook
	Facebook are the ones who need to be asked about this.
	I hate to say it, but he raises good points.
	There's also the thing there.
	Why did Facebook wait until now to ban the Taliban?
	Yeah, it's a bit weird.
	As soon as the public eye is on them...
	Why are they not banned from Twitter?
	Also, what rules did they break on Facebook that they haven't broken on Twitter?
	What specific ones?
	Because they're all the same.
	They all work with each other to make sure the rules are the same.
	And if it's because they're a terrorist group...
	Why not the Iranian government?
	Why not the Pakistani government?
	Because there's the thing.
	They're now the official government of Afghanistan.
	And if you're going to argue, well, official governments, we can't ban them because people need to know, as they always do, except Donald Trump.
	Screw him.
	He's not important.
	But they're going to argue that.
	Well, you can't argue that either because they're in charge of the government now.
	They're not just some...
	Well, you could say they're a fringe terrorist group, but then so is the government of Iran and Pakistan, in my opinion, and also most of the world, let's be frank.
	But anyway, I thought I'd end this segment on a little bit of Pakistan, the Lenta Est.
	Pakistan, furthermore, Pakistan should be destroyed.
	Because, well, PM had something to say, didn't he?
	Taliban have broken the shackles of slavery, says Pakistan PM. Shackles of slavery?
	Yes.
	That's a bit...
	What?
	I don't even understand.
	By kicking out the filthy Westerners.
	Oh, right.
	Who were enslaving the Taliban.
	Sorry.
	Enslaving the Afghan people.
	What's interesting, though, is his argument has some water in a very weird, weird way, but I don't think he realises it.
	Mr.
	Khan said that adopting someone else's culture was worse than actual slavery.
	He said, quote, when you adopt someone's culture, you believe it to be superior, and then you end up becoming a slave to it.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, really?
	Would you like to come and visit the UK, Mr Khan?
	Take it to Bradford?
	Or Birmingham?
	Or maybe Tower Hamlets?
	You can come and have a look about the kind of people who are enslaved to a foreign culture, and therefore that's worse than slavery, as you say it.
	He added, you take over the other culture and become psychologically subservient.
	When that happens, please remember, it is worse than actual slavery.
	It is harder to throw off the change of cultural enslavement.
	I don't think it's worse than actual slavery.
	No, of course it's not.
	I hate to be controversial.
	I love the Pakistani PM. It's like, yeah, so if you're being subjugated by a foreign culture, that's worse than slavery.
	And just everyone in Britain's like...
	In what?
	Like, come over here, come over, come and have a look, and then tell us about how we're being enslaved, and how we need to resist the slavers of Pakistan, shall we say.
	There are certain parts of this country that have many of his former citizens living here.
	So, I mean, I guess a heavily based take from the PM, which is that if you are under Pakistani culture, and you're not in Pakistan, you're a slave to Pakistan, and therefore you should resist Pakistani enslavement.
	Bradford.
	That's the...
	All slaves now.
	That's the Pakistani PM's opinion.
	Not anyone else's, but okay.
	So I also wanted to mention that Pakistani Twitter was delighted with the Taliban takeover, and I can see why.
	If their own PM is celebrating it as a victory, as, you know, we've broken the shackles of Western Imperium, these are our allies, are they?
	Him and his country are allies of the West, are they?
	No, of course not.
	No.
	Pakistan, Delta, Est.
	Something like that.
	Let's go on to the video comments.
	Has anyone ever thought, God, I wish these loadseaters would do a really long episode one day that was multiple hours long, somewhat like EFAPS. Well, there is a lovechild of EFAPS and loadseaters, and do you want to know what it's called?
	And we do our episode on time, I'd like to add, every time.
	The Sultans of Chandelay.
	Half an hour after every Friday episode of the loadseaters, we have an episode.
	Very long podcast, and service guarantees citizenship, so I thought I'd do a bit of shilling.
	Alrighty, there you go.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Hey, Lotus Eaters.
	Tony D and Little Joan here with Legend of the Pines, the food.
	This is a pork roll sandwich.
	It's breakfast ham, egg, cheese on a Kaiser roll.
	German, get over it.
	It's delicious.
	Next up is Donkey's Cheesesteak.
	Donkey's is a bar.
	Anthony Bourdain called it the greatest cheesesteak he ever ate.
	Cheesesteak, onion on a poppy seed roll.
	And finally, a Panzerati, a deep-fried pizza.
	Turnover.
	It's not very keto, but you can put pepperoni in it.
	Okay, I like the other two.
	I didn't like that last one.
	Thank you, I'm hungry now, is all I have to say.
	And I'm also disappointed that there's not some kind of mythological fact about New England.
	I did appreciate the puppy cam.
	I don't know if you saw in the top right, the dog just sitting there in his bed.
	Thank you.
	Good morning from Ontario.
	Today I will be talking about one of Canada's mainstream far-left parties.
	The NDP are your typical socialist party proposing better healthcare, free post-secondary and affordable housing with the rich supposedly footing the bill.
	The NDP are led by Jagmeet Singh, best known for playing among us with AOC and simping for socialist dictators.
	As a side note, even more statues in Canada are being pulled down with the only rest still being the man who tried to stop them from tearing down our history.
	Yeah, I don't know what's going on with Canada with the conicalism.
	Let's say I understood the insanity of the BLM actors.
	I don't understand the insanity of the anti-British actors, and it's incredibly horrible to see.
	It stands for New Democratic Party.
	I thought it was National Democratic Party then.
	I was like, NDP is very close to NSDAP. I was just like, oh boy, really are bringing back the socialist and national socialist, aren't they?
	I suppose they are, technically.
	I would like to hear more about just Canadian politics in general, particularly you mentioned the, what was it, the People's Party of Canada.
	I don't really know anything other than Maxi Barnier giving some base takes on occasion, but if you've got any information about what they, you know, policies or whatever, I would actually like to hear that as well.
	I get the impression that Canada is probably one of the worst places to live in the Western world for people with our opinions.
	I mean, it's got probably a nice economic standard of living.
	I think Sweden's worse than Carcadia.
	I think you give the Swedes a hard time.
	I think the Swedes give the Swedes a hard time.
	Jesus, I mean, you've got Captain Sweden there celebrating the flag worth defending, the LGBT flag, not the Swedish one.
	For me, that just typified all the nonsense that comes out of Sweden.
	I think a lot of the bad stuff that goes on in Sweden is not from the native Swedes, is it?
	It's like the...
	What?
	What?
	It's...
	You're going to say that they let certain people in who have done bad things?
	Yes.
	Who let them in?
	Well...
	Native Swedes.
	But...
	You can't hold them all culpable.
	No, I'll hold the left culpable.
	Anyway.
	That's alright then.
	You know, the Sweden Democrats and whatnot, yeah, you are doing a good job, at least, from what I see.
	So...
	Not all Swedes.
	Hashtag not all Swedes.
	Hey guys, I made it back from my trip.
	I only had one Karen Nazi flight attendant who had a hernia because my mask was below my nose for a few seconds.
	Otherwise, everything's okay.
	There was a commenter who was talking about the easy-peasy way to quit porn.
	Well, it's available on archive.org if you want to read it without having to pay for it.
	Also, the joke in my last video was that they put the firearm down as a website because there are actual websites on the banned firearm list.
	I'm not kidding.
	What?
	He says there are actual websites on the banned firearm list.
	Wait, so there's a list of firearms that are banned and they've listed some websites alongside the gun?
	I imagine so.
	I don't know whether that's places where you can 3D print gun parts or something.
	I don't know what the rationale for doing so would be, but it sounds nuts to me.
	It's good to hear that your trip went okay.
	I wonder if you ever tried the trick that people have been using in the UK for trains.
	So when they were mandating masks on trains, what you could do is you could buy a can of Pringles, and you don't have to wear it when you're eating, so you just very slowly eat the can of Pringles, and by the time you're done, the train journey's over anyway.
	The three rules that I gave weren't necessarily directed towards you.
	They were just general rules for young men.
	I don't actually disagree with your point.
	If you like a young girl, you should ask her out.
	There's nothing wrong with this.
	What I believe Carl was trying to say was that it's actually quite unlikely, especially these days, to find a girl in her twenties who isn't going to want to shop around, who isn't going to try and look out for other guys who are higher status, you know, things like this.
	So you shouldn't be taking a relationship too seriously when you're in your twenties.
	You should probably just work on yourself and then become that higher status guy later in life when you're more likely to actually Be of interest to her.
	I think that's what you're trying to say.
	That's the name of the German castle.
	I don't know how to say it.
	Neuschwarzenstein?
	Neuschwarzenstein?
	But German's not right.
	Sounds German to me.
	Neuschwurz von Stein.
	Neuschwurz...
	I don't know.
	Whatever.
	Anyway, so that's the castle.
	Go and check that out.
	That's the fairytale one that looks like Disneyland or whatever.
	Ah, right.
	On the debate about should you...
	I don't know what Carl's wording was, but this is the reason I think fundamentally it's just his wording is bad and where he's like, you shouldn't go after girls or something.
	What does that mean?
	Because the implication, and he backed this up at times, which is like, you shouldn't bother with girls at all, just focus on yourself, is that then negates the idea of asking one out, which is the main contention.
	But anyway, don't worry.
	It's not that interesting a topic.
	I understand the argument that when you're really young, like, say, you're a teenager, you're probably going to change as you get older.
	So if you meet someone who you like then...
	It's likely you're going to go separate ways down the line.
	So there's no point investing all your time and energy in preserving a relationship when you're only going to change anyway.
	That's a perfectly acceptable argument.
	But once you're...
	You know whether you're going to change or not.
	You know yourself better than anyone.
	So you know when you're ready, but obviously focus on developing yourself.
	Self-improvement is good.
	One of the things I noticed with the conversation in the UK, there was some guy...
	Who called himself an incel and went out.
	I think he shot his mother and then some people in Plymouth.
	And there was national conversation about incels.
	We ignore stuff like that usually because we don't ambulance chase about terrorist attacks or whatever.
	Those people talk about it as a terrorist attack.
	But the interesting thing I saw, there was of course the boomers who were like, yeah, the incels use terms like based.
	If your child uses the word based, he's an incel.
	Which is ridiculous.
	I'm an incel now.
	But it's the weird thing where it's just like, I looked at the killer and I'm just like, you know, if he actually just shaved and cut his hair, he wouldn't look too bad.
	Yeah, all he needed was a haircut.
	Even his beard was fine.
	He's got terrible ideas in his head.
	It's clearly just him as a person, which in many ways can be changed, right?
	If you've got a serious problem with your face, that's much harder to change than just who you are.
	I suppose the year of Sharia, the lockdown where you can't date anyone, didn't help.
	No, certainly not.
	You should start calling it that, the year of Sharia.
	It was.
	I'm sure Sharia's better.
	Come on guys, it's episode 200.
	Just say the gamer word.
	I subscribed for a few months so I could give you the n-word pass.
	Just come on, just do it right now.
	Also, guys, if they do not do this, go into my Instagram, setchipursell906, only with hard Rs, guys.
	Come on, I gotta get some n-boys in the chat.
	That's wonderful, but at the same time, we also have British laws, which do not recognize foreign N-word passes, so I don't think it's valid here.
	We also do have the employment case that we spoke about yesterday that's going to find out whether or not we legally have the right to say the N-word and not get fired for it, which is going to be good.
	I still can't believe she's making that argument in the employment tribunal, and she goes for ages being like, well, you know, it's critical race here, and therefore protects the belief, and then she's like, sweating.
	Wait, what am I saying?
	Wait, I never sent it!
	That's my defense instead!
	Anyway, let's go to the next one.
	Okay, guys.
	There are a lot of anime and manga that depict nonceri.
	Sometimes in a positive aspect, and sometimes in a negative aspect, and many times lampooning it.
	But think of this.
	Japan has a 95% conviction rating for pedophilia-related offences.
	How awesome is that?
	a lot of the time they end up in jail and how do you think these guys these gangly little nots are going to handle being in jail with a bunch of yakuza about that there is the aspect that i think the conviction rate for all crime in japan is like 98 or something Ridiculous.
	Because it's a society that works.
	I think they also have delegated a lot of their law enforcement to the accuser as well.
	No.
	No, base.
	It's not base.
	I'll argue with this one.
	Just like, yeah, we need a criminal underworld to run our country's justice system.
	That's good.
	Yeah.
	I'm sort of memeing, but I watched Academic Agent's video where he's arguing that the mafia is actually good, and the argument is essentially that they're the ones who can deal with crime in a way that the police certainly can't.
	Well, yeah, because they use real violence to do it.
	Yes, and real violence solves the problems.
	It's a good deterrent to committing crime.
	Yeah, if you cut off everyone's hands, no one's going to be a thief.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	And it really does work.
	Yeah, but then...
	Because take Saudi Arabia, they cut off the hands if you're a thief, and what's the thieving rate in Saudi Arabia?
	It's 2,000 times lower than the UK, he demonstrated.
	You can leave your laptop out, and then go to prayers and come back, and your laptop will still be there.
	Because who wants to lose a hand?
	I mean, you're not going to be able to use the laptop after you've done that.
	No, no, no, the guy who stole all his laptops.
	I'll lose his hand, sorry.
	Anyway, I'm half memeing, because of course it's a bit ridiculous, but I do enjoy the argument where it's just like, yeah, well, Mafia, good, actually.
	And so, with Lord Miles safely back in Britain, we now conclude our series of Lord Miles and a Taliban Tango.
	Join us next time for Lord Miles and the Beijing Bailout.
	See you then.
	Well, he's travelling to Beijing now.
	We've got to get in contact with him.
	We have a couple of guys in the office who have contact with him, so I'm sure we'll have a chat.
	I'd love to go to Belarus with him or something.
	It'd be good fun.
	Send him to Taiwan.
	The Chinese have been there.
	pretty keen about that going there soon i know i did also see uh his live stream i don't know how i missed this when i first watched it i think i was skipping through to try and get some good bits and uh there's a bit in the set at the start where he's like well you know there were people gunfire going off uh people crashing people crying screaming it was pretty based and there's just that clip that's going around now and i love it well he actually says that Yeah!
	Oh my god.
	He's so hard to dislike from a British perspective especially.
	He's just such an extravagant British explorer type.
	Yeah, okay.
	Whatever.
	Let's go to the next one.
	It's the 200th episode.
	I've been enjoying the content so far.
	Keep it up.
	Are we going to get more Base John co-hosting?
	I'm getting tired of the heresy against the King Lobster from the resident fake scientist.
	On a more serious note, will there be a digital component at the live event for those of us who cannot be there in person?
	I'd greatly appreciate it, at least.
	Why do you not like the lobster man?
	I do like Lobster Man, but there are some things that I don't agree with Lobster Man about.
	On psychology, he's great, and a lot of the stuff he talks about I wholeheartedly agree with, but his interpretation of things about postmodernism and stuff like that are not very accurate.
	He paints a picture of postmodernism that isn't very helpful to people who want to actually understand it.
	And I think he's picked up the misunderstanding from Sam Harris, and he's just taken Sam Harris at his word, rather than looking into it himself.
	Whatever.
	Whatever, postmodernist.
	I'm not defending postmodernism.
	I don't know anything about the Peterson's books or things like that.
	I try not to get into it.
	I mostly just listen to him talking about, what would you call it, sociology?
	So how societies interact, things like this, rather than any of the other stuff.
	As for a digital component of the live event, John, we'll be recording?
	We'll be recording, for sure.
	We will be recording, but I don't know when we're going to upload them, because we want to make the live events more exclusive, so it will be a while.
	Because we're looking at other venues as well and potentially doing a tour.
	There's also sometimes Carl will just have an opinion that he didn't want to upload his, or sometimes...
	Yeah, he's very against uploading in the first place.
	Yeah, but I hope that answers the question.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Do you hate communists?
	Yes.
	Do you think that re-education camps are cringe?
	Hmm.
	Do you like shopping?
	No.
	Or have I got just the website for you?
	Introducing ChinaNever.com.
	ChinaNever.com hosts a wide array of different websites and sellers that do not produce products in China, so you can rest easy knowing that not a dollar goes to the Communist Party.
	Happy 200th episode, gentlemen.
	That's cool.
	Cheers.
	And it not being Chinese also means it'll probably last for more than a few days as well.
	Do some new clothes.
	Yeah, men's clothing.
	Canadian.
	You're a big fan of your sweatshop clothing, aren't you?
	Yeah, as long as it's not from China.
	Now, I'm very, um, I think, what is it, Yarenbrook will probably agree with this, where it's just like, well, I mean, they were literally working in the farms, and now they're working in the factories.
	That's a step up.
	I don't know.
	At least they're outside.
	Would you rather than going back to working on the farms and breaking their lives that way?
	Nah.
	But sporting communism?
	Very crunch.
	Ah.
	So.
	Thanks a lot.
	What I think is likely to happen is that Biden will resign on January 21st, 2023, after he's done two years and a day as a president.
	This is because if a vice president takes over after two years or longer, they can only run for one term, whereas if they do less than two years, they can run for two.
	The Democrats are planning to set up for ten years of Kamala Harris as president.
	Well, everyone's heard it.
	We're going to hold you to that prediction now.
	I mean, President Kamala is going to be the kind of dystopian hell which we have all feared.
	I'm so bored of these people.
	They're like Kamala Harris, Joe Biden types.
	That's why I'm very depressed about that idea.
	It's a very good point.
	I hadn't thought about it.
	But, good God.
	Can you imagine 10 years of her?
	I really wanted to see Bernie Sanders versus Trump.
	That's why I wanted the debate to be the election.
	But no, we end up with this crap instead.
	They're like the really bad conservatives.
	You know, the conservative types.
	Where it's almost just like there's not real any conviction in them either way.
	But even when they are having any conviction, it's always leftism.
	So it's trash anyway.
	Good God.
	Anyway.
	Do we have any more?
	Okay, we've got written stuff.
	Want to read?
	Yeah, I should be alright this time.
	I'm going to start shopping on ChinaNever.com.
	It's ChinaNever.com.
	We're not getting paid to do this.
	I just think it's funny.
	Ignacio Junqueira.
	Islamism should stop being considered as a religion.
	It's a perverse ideology on the same level as communism and Nazism, and I'm beginning to doubt if there are non-Islamist Muslims anymore.
	Well, there are Muslims who don't follow the religion.
	Well, yeah, there is that.
	Just like the Church of England not being Christian.
	I mean, you're not wrong.
	And, yeah, Islam is a political force as much as it is a religious one.
	I mean, the politics of Islam is as much a part of it as anything.
	And people should treat it as such.
	People shouldn't be like, oh, you've got to respect...
	religious belief as if there's something sacrosanct about it.
	And I don't agree with that, actually.
	We get this, actually, when we talk about the Catholic Church or something like that.
	We have people saying, oh, you've got to be respectful of other people's faiths.
	And I think, no, actually, that's not a liberal value.
	It's not an English value either, obviously.
	Why the hell would we respect the Catholic Church?
	I don't want special treatment for my beliefs, so I'm not going to give you the same privilege either.
	But also the whole point of not all religions are the same.
	So in the West, we usually talk about this in Protestant versus Catholicism, but there's theological differences, but that's not the same thing as understanding that different belief systems, different faiths, let's say, sometimes are totalitarian, sometimes not.
	And with Islam, it is a total religion.
	It has ideas about diet, sex, who should go to bed with, all the rest of it, as Christians would say.
	And what's the problem with that?
	Well, it's the first five letters of totalitarianism.
	It is a totalitarian religion when implemented politically.
	Absolutely.
	And it has political ideals, as you say.
	To give you an idea as to who has taken hold of Afghanistan, consider this.
	One of my cousins is a combat engineer in the Canadian forces.
	Despite specialising in blowing stuff up, he and his unit focused on helping Afghan locals build farms.
	While helping them build farms, they were repeatedly attacked by the Taliban for doing so.
	It takes a special kind of scum to do that.
	Absolutely.
	Of course, building a farm for locals, I think, could be justified as, you know, you're winning over support and therefore we can't allow you to do that, like winning over the locals against the Taliban.
	So I can understand why they would intervene, but it is obviously a very awful thing to do.
	It's also just a very awful place.
	Well, yes, of course.
	I don't know why...
	It's at the very bottom of the list of places I would like to go.
	That clip I took about the guy talking about being a pedo, I mean, the police commander, that documentary came out in 2013, and in that documentary, it is like it came out yesterday.
	Everything that he says is the situation then is the same as it is now, as in there was...
	No real support for building whatever state this was.
	There was no real conviction from anyone involved.
	It was just, whilst the Westerners are here, we'll do this.
	And after they're gone, this is going to end.
	Lucas Penner, 50,000 Afghan troops died over the past seven years fighting for their country.
	We specifically trained their troops to fight with air support, then Biden prevented contractors from helping the Afghan army repair their aircraft.
	Why are you spewing the corporate media tag lie about the Afghan army?
	The US hasn't lost troops to combat in almost two years.
	How many people in the Afghan army have to die for you to consider them having fought for their country?
	50,000, not enough.
	Did you even know that?
	Yeah, actually it's 60,000.
	And that number, if you divide it by 20 years, you get 2,000 men a year.
	In the middle of a civil war with the Taliban that never stopped.
	Constantly.
	2,000 men a year.
	It's not that much for a war like this.
	Yeah, and they had, as I covered originally, they had everything on their side, pretty much.
	They had the numbers, the equipment, the training, the key regions.
	They had the capital, all the economically developed regions they had control of, and they lost it all.
	And at the end of the day...
	You can only blame the people.
	That's the only component left.
	Even if you turn around and say, well, okay, they didn't give up because they lost people throughout the war.
	We have the footage.
	We have the people who went there, or like the documentary from the guy who went there, in which they interact with the Afghan National Army and he just films them and they are useless.
	Like, high on heroin when on duty.
	That's how useless these guys were.
	They're not professionals.
	They weren't even trying.
	Many of them just left as soon as he was trying to turn up to talk to them as well.
	I think there's a few PB commanders or Afghan National Army commanders they meet.
	There's one guy who's like, why aren't the Americans helping us like they used to?
	Usually the Americans come and do the job for us.
	And he's like, yeah, we're not doing that anymore.
	We're here to advise.
	So he says, okay, give me three days and I'll come up with a plan to take out this IED factory down the road.
	Three days later, he just left.
	Never seen again.
	And this happens again and again and again in every single place.
	He goes just on that one tour, and then he's been there since, I think it was 2007, he's been producing stuff about Afghanistan.
	They are useless, and they were useless, by any comparison to any force outside of Afghanistan.
	I get the impression that they're mainly there just to get the pay.
	They don't actually care about the welfare of their country, right?
	There are.
	Obviously that's not true of all of them.
	I will give special credence to the special forces of Afghanistan because they keep getting mentioned as actually doing a good job.
	But the Afghan National Army, no, it was a joke.
	Everyone knows it.
	I don't know if you guys know or remember Kony 2012.
	I remember it very well, yes.
	But if we should have learned anything from that incident is nobody cares about men and boys.
	Thousands were captured and killed before a single incident where 100 girls were taken instead, causing an uproar in the West under the Bring Back Our Girls campaign.
	Knowing that, it's easy to predict who they'll favour between the straight and gay...
	I'm not sure I can say that.
	They'll favour between the straight and gay pedos.
	Funny thing, though, they won't care about the girls either once they've been imported, so another victory for...
	Oh, don't say that.
	No, no.
	Yeah, I don't think I can say that.
	That's not a phrase we're going to say.
	But yeah, yay feminism.
	Yeah, I mean, there's nothing good to this story.
	I mean, the entire place is just a...
	Hellhole, from a Western perspective, looking at this.
	There is nothing there I want to interact with.
	Absolutely nothing.
	I keep getting told by Miles, of course, that the food is quite nice, and I'm sure it is.
	I'm sure we can get the recipe.
	Small L Libertarian.
	I like the government's response of, we won't be able to help everyone that assists us in Afghanistan, and that was about it.
	Basically, if you ain't here already, job's done.
	I'm going to move on to the COVID stuff.
	Chisholm, what has happened in Australia is complete lunacy.
	As a medical professional, I can assure you that there are a lot of things that we can do to slow the spread of COVID-19 that exists between doing nothing and lock people in their homes at gunpoint.
	The approach does not help.
	The solution to COVID is work together as a community, act responsibly and strive to protect those most vulnerable and ensure they do go without.
	What is happening in New York is appalling, requiring proof of vaccination to enter gyms, restaurants, etc.
	Having no medical exemptions is both a violation of patient confidentiality and human rights violation, to say the least.
	Tim Pool covered it yesterday and Lydia gave him the permission to talk about her situation.
	She has MS and cannot get the vaccine, so she is being barred from things.
	This is starting to come here to Canada as well.
	I myself am not able to get the vaccine due to being injured by my first dose.
	Despite working the last 10 years as a paramedic and helping hundreds, if not thousands of people, I am tracked to becoming a second class citizen.
	To make matters worse, people are celebrating this.
	Yeah, I'm very sorry to hear that.
	and Thank you for the insight, though.
	That is good to hear from someone who actually knows a lot more than I do, clearly.
	Have you seen the, let's say, fake Black Lives Matter posters people are making?
	No.
	So you saw New York or whatever it's been like, you've got to get a vaccine passport to be able to go to restaurants and whatnot.
	So people have been making posters that's just like a picture, a stock image of a sad black woman.
	And then the text is about the fact that only 27% of black women have the vaccine so far, therefore this is a racist policy.
	And it's all put in leftist language and has the logos that's all high quality.
	I'm like, ah, that's gold.
	That's the best way to point out someone's hypocrisy on something, isn't it?
	Just going out and doing it.
	It's the only time they're ever going to care either.
	I don't know why we have to always argue along racial lines to get anything to move in the West, but that's what it is.
	Mashee Hammond, how did the Delta variant make its way to New Zealand as the country is an island nation and has been in lockdown over a year?
	Well, Britain is an island nation.
	We've been in lockdown.
	They're very much more isolated.
	Yeah, it's further away, isn't it?
	They still have imports.
	You can't really survive in the modern day, in the Western world, without having to trade various goods.
	Not everything is produced in the country in which you consume it.
	You can't really avoid it, unfortunately.
	Ghost of Adelaide.
	I went to the doctor today and I had to wear a mask, sanitise my hands, check in using a QR code and show them a green tick on my phone screen to their camera before they even opened the door.
	One woman was wandering around wiping everything anyone touched and there are no Covid cases in Adelaide but that's not worth pointing out anymore is it?
	Yeah, people are taking it a bit too far, aren't they?
	Well, it's been like a year or something now, and there's still people who think that it's something out of a movie that's going to kill you as soon as you touch it.
	I think the thing is, people really can't calculate probability very well, so they really don't understand the likelihood of them both getting ill in the first place or dying.
	People just can't get their heads around the actual numbers involved and the likelihood of that.
	And therefore they just go by emotional reaction and like, oh it could happen and therefore I'm going to treat it as if it's very likely, when in reality it's probably not.
	I did like the counter-protest, this kind of, let's say, over-the-top response, which was started by Peter Hitchens.
	So he got his old gas mask out of his wardrobe, and then when he got on the train, when they were mandating masks on the train, he was like, there you go, I got gas masks, that's the problem.
	I did this as well, because I got a gas mask and I got to go on the train, and he's just like, well, I don't have a mask, but you've got to have one.
	Will this do?
	Yeah, sure.
	It's just like, you people are nuts.
	Be proportional to the threat, don't be disproportional.
	I imagine a gas mask would be better than an actual mask, wouldn't it?
	It's more comfortable as well.
	Because, you know, it's just like over the top here, so there's nothing really touching your face in that way.
	Just like, it's got to there.
	Invest in gas masks.
	What a weird thing to invest in.
	Well, just in case.
	You never know.
	So, on to your feminism versus Islam section.
	What do you mean?
	I don't know.
	I did nothing but condemn them.
	Yeah, that's too soft.
	What the hell do you want from me?
	It'd be nothing but death to the Taliban.
	Here's a hard take.
	I don't give a...
	I can't say that, actually.
	I don't know what you said about the Taliban.
	I'm going to go back and watch the clips.
	Maybe I'll be in agreement.
	I'll pin a comment underneath, if that's the case.
	I don't know what they're getting at.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Screw Josh.
	Thanks.
	Not even very well.
	Never mind.
	No, I don't think you said anything wrong.
	Student of History, so who's hyped for Afghanistan Pride in 2022?
	What do you want to bet they're going to do it?
	Because if they're using the language of inclusivity at the moment, what do you want to bet in a year's time they are actually just going to tweet out an LGBT flag?
	They'll still be on Twitter.
	They're not going to get banned.
	So, you know, that's a good call.
	I'm going to put money on it.
	Tenor?
	You want to take that bet?
	I'm not going to bet that, no.
	Alpha of the beta, subjugation to a foreign culture is worse than slavery, as evidenced by the slaves of the American South.
	Most would not try to escape, even when offered a chance on the Underground Railroad, because they could not conceive of freedom or did not think of themselves as enslaved.
	Is that true?
	I don't know.
	There is the good point, though, of would you like to go to Liberia?
	No.
	Most people said no.
	No, but it's the thing of the...
	Oh, right, as in freed slaves, we'll return you back to Africa.
	Yeah, I hate to use the saying, but we'll send them back to Africa was a policy the United States had for a little while with Liberia, and most of those did not want to go back, and even when they did go back, they then enacted a two-tier system, which had the Amero-Liberians, who were higher status than the Liberian-Liberians.
	I'm pretty sure many of the returned slaves also enslaved the Liberians as well, which is unfortunate.
	But a lesson in history.
	So, moving on to some general comments.
	Alexander Cossie, I won't be able to watch this till later, but I wanted to say that you guys have changed my life, especially Carl.
	I've spent every dime I have getting to a trade school to be an underwater welder and deep sea diver.
	It's the best decision I've ever made, and made in no small part because you have made me want to be a better man.
	Thank you.
	That's wonderful.
	It's a shame Carl's not here to hear that.
	It also sounds really fun.
	I like diving whenever I can at the best of times, but imagine welding while you're underwater.
	Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
	Cool, man.
	Chris Wolfe, congratulations on episode 200.
	Feels like yesterday that we had that rocky start to the podcast.
	Random question to Callum and Josh.
	What are your favourite bands or artists?
	I'm from the States, but my favourite band for the past ten years have been Elbow.
	You go first.
	Sure.
	Well, I'm very much into music.
	My favourite band are The Beatles, but things like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, any rock music from the 60s and 70s is great.
	But there's lots of modern stuff that's good as well, especially coming from Australia.
	What's your favourite Beatles song?
	Favourite Beatles song?
	Probably She Said, She Said off the album Revolver.
	Very good.
	I've not heard of that one.
	You'll have to send me it afterwards.
	What's your opinion on what's the one that everyone hates, especially on the right, like Ben Shapiro hates with a passion?
	You're thinking of Imagine.
	That's John Lennon's solo stuff.
	And the Beatles released a song called Revolution, where they're making fun of socialists.
	And one of the lyrics is, if you go around carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you're not going to make it with anyone anyhow.
	So to suggest that he then went on, this was John Lennon's song, went on and was just like, yeah, communism, you know what?
	Good.
	Well, that's not a repudiation of socialism.
	That's just saying optics.
	Yeah.
	That's one of the things that they say.
	I don't know anything about the Beals, so...
	But on the bombshell, it's time to end the show, so we're off.
	If you want more from us, go to LotusEars.com.
	If you want to get access to premium content, please do sign up.
	You can get access to the book club, the Roger Scruton one we just did with Carl, and that helps keep the show alive.
	But anyway, thank you and goodbye.
	We'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
