	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 11th of October 2021.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the refunding of the police, the prison time for misgendering rapists, and also that white privilege is an extremist ideology.
	It should be good to see them get what they asked for in America.
	Well, it's true.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	So also, a couple of things to mention.
	First on the website.
	So the first thing here being the social media manager career opportunity.
	So we're hiring again.
	Yeah.
	Ranveer has to leave us because his university course has decided that the COVID restrictions are over.
	And so he has to appear in the classrooms now.
	So he can't work here anymore.
	So we've got to hire a new social media manager.
	So if you think you'll be good at promoting LotusEasers.com's products on social media, send us a CV. We'd like to hear from you.
	Could do it.
	Anyway, there's all the information there for the description, responsibilities, so on and so forth, so go and give that read and then send it to your application.
	Anyway, next thing, so if we go to the next thing, we have the book club, the Orwell's shooting in elephants that you did.
	Yeah, Bo and I did this, because Bo's a very big fan of Orwell, obviously, because there's something about Orwell that is so quintessentially English that you can't help but love it.
	But this is Orwell's time in Burma as a minor police officer, some sort of, I can't remember the exact term, but like, you know, Some sort of middling level police officer.
	And the way the British Empire was run was really on a shoestring budget.
	So like Orwell at 23 is in charge of quite a lot and he hates the natives and they hate him.
	But he's the guy who has to go deal with this rampaging elephant.
	And so it's his description of like what colonial Burma was like.
	And what he had to do to stop an elephant from rampaging.
	It's very, very layered, you know, it's very deep and Orwell constructs a really detailed description of what's going on around him with few words and so in a short period of time you get a very good understanding of what's going on and the dynamics that are in play and the whole thing's a real beauty.
	This is one of my favourite book clubs.
	Did you get any more illuminated on why Burma's considered an imperial failure?
	No, because he's not talking about the history or anything like that.
	He's talking from a first personal position.
	So he's just giving you his direct experiences as he's living in it at the moment.
	But we could go into that at some point.
	Yeah, because I remember from the Robert Conquest Book Club, it's love and learn.
	Yeah.
	Why?
	Anyway, so we're on the next one.
	We have Contemplations, one up over the weekend.
	So is music really becoming worse?
	So I believe this is between Rory and Josh.
	Yeah, because they're both musicians.
	And so they have done analysis of how bad music is going.
	And the conclusion to spoilers is, well, not all of it.
	It's like, well, okay, not all of it.
	I blame the Beatles, to be honest.
	I'm sure Josh will have strong opinions on that.
	Exactly.
	So the last one here, the last link, is a new article from Thomas, which is The Cynical Politicization of Sarah Everard's Murder.
	Yeah, this has got the audio track to it, so I listened to it before the podcast.
	It's really, really good.
	Thomas does a really good job of just pointing out the numerous contradictions in the activism that's going on, as well as Wayne Cousins could have basically avoided much of the ire of the activist by simply identifying as a woman, and why that would have been the case.
	It's a really good article.
	Also, the audio track there for Silver and Gaultier members to give it a listen.
	Also, wanted to mention, big shout-out to Chap.
	I forgot to get the book beforehand, but it's over on the shelf.
	I'm sure you can see a blurry haze in between the British pluffy and the HMS victory.
	But the books he sent in, specifically John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, which I'm very grateful for, and also the note attached, which was very touching.
	And that means that we will, of course, do a book club on it.
	Yes.
	So expect that in the near future.
	Anyway, let's get right.
	No, let's just do the news.
	So we're going to be refunding the police because the defunding the police movement didn't work.
	So just to quickly recap, you may recall that after the death of George Floyd, the thing that Black Lives Matter activists were asking for was violence within the black community.
	No, that's exactly what they're asking.
	I mean, it's what they did.
	Getting rid of the police in the black community means violence in the black community.
	That's what that means.
	There is an irreconcilable and unbreakable connection between these two things.
	So you can go back to 2020 and see ABC News going, well, I mean, the phrase has become a rallying cry in demonstrations against racism and police brutality across the country.
	We don't agree with, well, I don't agree with the...
	The narrative on George Floyd's killing.
	So let's move on from that.
	And so this has prompted calls to action in some cities, such as dismantling the entire Minneapolis Police Department, which I'm sure would do wonders for the crime rate in Minneapolis.
	Advocates say the effort was aimed at changing the role of law enforcement communities in America.
	What I'm calling for is a rethink on why we've turned all of these social problems over to the police to manage, says Alex Vitale, a professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and author of The End of Policing.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	So not someone with a vested interest in this.
	Buy my book!
	I want to get rid of the police.
	The end of policing.
	This is a professor of sociology.
	You know, that discipline that was predicted to destroy all of the West in Starship Troopers.
	You know, that discipline.
	He's got some ideas.
	Some big brain ideas about what we can do about police in America.
	Because clearly he doesn't have to experience the consequences of not having police.
	He's a professor.
	I also, just as a historical note for BLM as well, it's interesting how they dropped hands up, don't shoot.
	Well, that's just completely dried up.
	Well, that's because Michael Brown wasn't holding his hands up when he was shot.
	He was attacking the police officer.
	No, the inquest found that it was complete bunk.
	Yeah.
	But then they carried on with it after the inquest found it was bunk.
	Sure.
	But then after George Floyd, they just dropped that phrase completely.
	Well, they've got a new one, I Can't Breathe.
	I suppose so.
	Yeah, because reasons.
	Anyway, so the activists want to say, instead of sending police officers to disturbance calls, why not send mental health workers or community leaders?
	I think it's fantastic.
	I'd love to see Al Sharpton rolling up when two gang members are having it out.
	Listen, folks, this is the white people's problem.
	So, anyway, yeah.
	So, Melina Abdullah, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and a professor of Pan-African Studies at California State University Los Angeles.
	Again, note the privilege here.
	We're a bunch of professors.
	We live cushy lives.
	We earn 70 grand a year.
	And we've got some thoughts about inner-city youth, right?
	When there are crises or emergencies in communities, you have people who actually are in these communities who respond to the crimes and usually don't need guns.
	Usually.
	Usually don't need to go.
	Such forward-thinking leftism.
	I love this, right?
	And so CNN joined the bandwagon back in the day.
	Growing calls to defund the police.
	Defund the solution to police brutality and racial inequalities in policing is simple sport to say, just defund the police.
	Yeah, why give that a critical eye, CNN? Why even look at that with any scepticism whatsoever?
	It's as straightforward as it sounds.
	Oh wow, we've got a really easy one-line answer, do we?
	Brilliant, this must work.
	It's as straightforward as it sounds.
	Instead of funding a police department, a sizable chunk of the city's budget is invested in communities, especially marginalised ones, where much of the policing occurs.
	Well, that's not going to hurt at all, is it?
	Patrice Cullors, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement...
	You remember that name, don't you?
	Yeah, that rings a bell.
	Patrice, Four Mansions Colors.
	Monopoly hat, Monopoly monocle, Colors.
	Yes, me owning mansions is Marxism in praxis, Colors, right?
	Said defunding the police means reallocating those funds to support people and services in marginalised communities.
	Amazing!
	Right, moving on, we get to the Brookings Institute, which is a left-wing think tank who are like, oh, well, we can provide some intellectual ammunition as to why we need to defund the police.
	Defund the police means allocating and redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality.
	That's it.
	It's that simple.
	Oh, thank God.
	Thank God we've got one-line answers to really complex questions from left-wing academics.
	This is brilliant.
	It doesn't mean abolish policing.
	Except for that guy who wrote a book called The End of Policing.
	And even those who do say abolish do not necessarily mean do away with law enforcement altogether, right?
	So we're already rolling it back.
	Hang on a second.
	Okay, well, we say abolish policing, defund the police.
	We don't actually mean that because that would be mad, wouldn't it?
	But no, not at all.
	But I love the rationale here, right?
	Data shows that 9 out of 10 calls for service are for non-violent encounters.
	Now, that does not mean an incident will not turn violent, but police at times contribute to the escalation of violent force.
	How does that sound to you?
	That doesn't make any sense.
	Sounds like he hasn't checked his privilege, doesn't it?
	Sure.
	Because at the moment, we have police.
	And so while we have a functional police service, 9 out of 10 calls aren't for violent encounters.
	Wow, okay, so you're presupposing the existence of this police service in this data.
	However, if we were to take the police away, would the data change?
	Would it be 9 out of 10 for non-violent encounters?
	Probably not.
	No.
	I mean, I can't remember the source, but there was a policing strike.
	I think it was Montreal, Canada.
	And the first bank was robbed within, like, seven minutes.
	It was in 1969.
	No, it took five hours, actually.
	Five hours?
	Yeah, it took five hours for the first bank to be robbed.
	But then the city just descended into absolute chaos.
	And there's, like, an anarchist writing that article, being like, yeah, I used to be an anarchist and believe in abolishing the police, and then that happened.
	And now I don't.
	And more importantly, that's in Canada.
	A country with, shall we say, strong social norms of politeness and civic duty.
	It's not in, oh I don't know, Detroit?
	Go abolish the police there, see how it is.
	But of course, the ACLU leapt on this.
	This was something heroic, right?
	By shrinking their massive budgets, we can help end decades of racially driven social control and oppression, as well as address social problems at their root, instead of investing in an institution that further oppresses and terrorizes communities.
	The American Civil Liberties Union, folks.
	The police are terrorizing communities.
	For too long, the focus on police reform has been dominated by reforms that try to reduce the harms of policing, rather than rethink the overall role of police in society.
	But six years after the Black Lives Matter movement rose to national attention, activists across the country are coming together to demand what many have known to be the solution all along, defund the police.
	Mad.
	I mean, I hate seeing this, so I'm not laughing about it, because I really hate seeing the ACLU fall down this rabbit hole.
	Well, the ACLU is literally saying, we want murders.
	Give us murders.
	We want blood in the streets.
	Death and destruction.
	Defund the police.
	I love the double game that's trying to go on, though, which is, no, we just want to change policing back to like policing was in the 60s or something, right?
	God, do they really want that?
	This is like the Steel Man of Steel Man's positions of this argument.
	I don't think they'd argue for policing in the 60s.
	No.
	Probably a lot more racist.
	I meant in the sense of less militarization or whatever, right?
	I suppose so, yeah.
	But there never are.
	Like, once you actually start listening to it, I mean, as you mentioned, having to then roll back and be like, wait, wait, wait, I don't mean to abolish the whole police force, even though I just said abolish the police.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, after the ACLU and all of the others got together and said defund the police, California was like, that's right, I'm a progressive.
	We're going to defund the police.
	For example, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti unveiled a proposal to divert $100 to $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department's budget to programs that would benefit communities of color, a response that many said didn't go nearly far enough.
	What were they, what, $150 billion?
	Well, it's $1.8 billion was their total budget.
	So they're like, well, you could have diverted more.
	And he's like, yeah, I could.
	But also, I don't want to be knee-deep in the blood of the African-American community.
	So I won't.
	He didn't say that, but you know he was thinking it, right?
	San Francisco's mayor, London Breed, made a similar announcement, although without a specific dollar number attached.
	Baltimore, if we go to the next one, went on to defund the police.
	The council voted to eliminate $22 million in police spending for their next year.
	Isn't Baltimore the one that had riots in 2016?
	Oh yeah.
	Lots of bad stuff.
	Great.
	I'm proud to lead a city council that took the first step to responsibly reduce Baltimore's budget dependence on policing.
	So their council president, Brandon Scott.
	Their budget dependence on policing.
	This is just the beginning, and I intend to continue leading this process to redirect our public dollars and reimagine public safety in Baltimore.
	Reimagined.
	Certainly going to be reimagined.
	I've got this fancy world.
	It's like just a total dream world.
	Well, I'm imagining a perfect world.
	I bet you are.
	I bet your imagination is very active when it comes to all of this.
	Minneapolis, of course, defunded the police as well.
	The amounts are probably proportionally about the same, but of course the numbers are absolutely different because of the relative size of the cities.
	But they shifted $8 million away from their police departments towards violence prevention and other services.
	Interesting.
	This is interesting because none of this worked.
	All of this led to people dying.
	Way more people than usual.
	In Minneapolis, murders rose 46%.
	Good number.
	I'm very shook.
	Much surprised.
	Got worse than in Portland.
	Portland defunded the police, and homicides skyrocketed 270%.
	It's mad.
	I don't mean to laugh, but what did you think was going to happen?
	In New York, there was a 40% increase in shootings, and in Los Angeles, there was only a 28% increase.
	Weirdly, Los Angeles was the least dangerous, at least great amount of increase.
	Portland's 270%.
	Wow.
	There are a lot of leftist lunatics.
	And so you might remember that Portland Mayor...
	What's his name?
	Ted Wheeler.
	Yes, Ted Wheeler.
	That's right.
	So Portland Police Association President Darrell Turner went on The Story, which is a TV program in America, and said, yeah, so that was a mistake.
	He'd spoken to Mayor Ted Wheeler, and he says, quote, has realized that defunding the police force was a mistake.
	Turner said that people of colour are most affected by this onset of violence.
	During a shooting in one neighbourhood, he said 150 rounds of ammunition were fired.
	So it's literally like a war zone in some Portland neighbourhoods.
	And CNN and all these left-wing think tanks are like, yeah, we want black people to die.
	Defund the police.
	Because that's what you're getting.
	Black people are gonna die.
	I'm a progressive.
	150 rounds indiscriminately in neighbourhoods, he says.
	In the houses, in the places where people live, where people play, where people want to raise their children and families, that is unacceptable.
	Yeah, and it was unacceptable on day one of defund the police.
	Why it had to end up with literally war zone-like conditions happening in Portland, and if you go to Portland, you realise it's a very lovely middle-class city, and if that can degenerate into that literally overnight, well then why can't that be the case everywhere else?
	I mean, Portland has the unique condition of also becoming a hotbed of leftist extremism, unlike, let's say, probably some of the other areas that just have a massive spike in murders, not necessarily leftists.
	Because, I mean, the best example of this is also a lot of this has to do with resisting Donald Trump.
	Well, all of this was done under the rubric of resisting Trump.
	Yeah, but I love the specific example of the attack on the courthouse there.
	And because that's a federal building, Trump's Department of Homeland Security called up the governor and said, can you send the state troopers there?
	So, you know, you've got state police officers, use them to protect it.
	She said no.
	So they sent federal officers because they wouldn't.
	And then they were like, wow, those are stormtroopers.
	And then as soon as Biden got in, they got rid of the federal ones and put the state ones in.
	Right.
	So transparent.
	It's absolutely transparent.
	It's partisan political, and it translates to the Democrats wanting black people dead, because that's what they're going to get.
	And they know that's what they're going to get.
	I think it helps them politically.
	Yes.
	Politically, it helps them if black people kill each other.
	Which goes to show you everything about the Democrats, and that's never changed.
	Anyway, CNN start coping, right?
	And I love the coping here.
	So they're quoting Rosa Brooks, an Associate Dean at Georgetown Law.
	Someone miles away from the problems.
	Someone on probably like 100 grand a year.
	Someone who has never experienced the problems that they're talking about.
	They say, from police transformation hitting headwinds, I think I would say it's actually getting more mature.
	Which is to say it's bumped up against some realities, and that's not such a bad thing.
	They want black people dead.
	Do you hear them?
	It's bumping up against realities, and that's not a bad thing when a bunch of black people are literally engaged in warlike shootouts across their own cities.
	That's not a bad thing, says Rosa Brooks.
	That's an incredibly bad thing.
	She says, I don't actually think the momentum is going away, but I do think people have been hit with the complexity of the situation.
	Oh, no way!
	I can't believe that one-line activist address wasn't sufficient to confront the complexities of the situation.
	Amazing.
	If only someone could have seen this in advance, right?
	The defunding the police slogan was not a helpful slogan.
	I think the shift to slogans like reimagining public safety is a much more constructive one and is likely to lead to much better discussions and less likely to push people away from the start.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	But is it going to get more black people killed?
	That's the question, right?
	It has.
	Yeah.
	The numbers are in.
	Yeah.
	Done it.
	Yeah.
	But they're still, like, they're not going to accept, okay, maybe these communities that are riddled with violence and gangs need law enforcement.
	They can't accept this.
	No, that's a form of oppression.
	Exactly.
	It's a form of racial oppression.
	And so we have come to the end of the de-fund the police saga because, of course, the police, like, stations and the police commissions are all getting their money back.
	All of them.
	Yeah, refunds.
	Yeah.
	And not just refunding, more than.
	Because it turns out, law and order is good and it's worth paying for, right?
	So the New York Times had to publish this article the other day, and it's just glorious to read, because you can feel the gritting of the teeth from the New York Times, because they, of course, support the defunding police movement as well.
	They say, in cities across America, police departments are getting their money back.
	Can you hear the grinding?
	Just...
	From New York to Los Angeles, departments that saw their funding targeted amid nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd last year have watched as local leaders voted for increases in police spending.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	Six months of having defunded police, murder rates skyrocketed and they're like, no, no, we're going to get more.
	We're going to get more police.
	This is clearly the answer.
	The conservatives were right about policing, by the way.
	So with an additional $200 million allocated for New York, for example, and a 3% boost given to the Los Angeles force.
	So they're being funded above what they were previously.
	The abrupt reversals have come in response to rising levels of crime in major cities last year.
	The exodus of officers from departments large and small and political pressures.
	After slashing the police budget last year, Austin restored the department's budget and raised it to new heights.
	In Burlington, Vermont, the city that Bernie Sanders once led as mayor from cutting its police budget to approving $10,000 bonuses to officers to stay on the job.
	Yeah, that's the other aspect that I don't think we mentioned and needs to be more talked about.
	Is officers just leaving?
	Because I believe in Portland as well, like half of the riot squad just quit overnight because they were sick of it.
	Thousands and thousands of police across America.
	I think New York had a specific problem with this as well.
	They were just so many guys were leaving, they were just like, oh crap.
	Yep.
	And it's because of the atmosphere of social stigma against the people who are keeping you safe.
	But also the betrayal by the people higher up than you.
	Yes.
	Welcome to leftism.
	But perhaps nowhere has the contrast been more stark than in Dallas, where Mr.
	Johnson not only proposed to restore money to the department, but moved to increase the number of officers on the street, writing over the summer that Dallas needed more police officers.
	After the mayor proposed increasing funding, no protests followed.
	Sorry, where are those leftists?
	Defund the police!
	What's wrong with the courage of your convictions?
	Oh, was it too many bodies?
	Too many dead people?
	Was that it, was it?
	No protests.
	When the council backed a budget that restored many of the cuts made last year, few came to the public hearing, and even fewer spoke against the plan, which included the hiring of 250 officers.
	It passed with little fanfare.
	Really?
	Amazing.
	It's like the left are a bunch of children.
	And all you need to do is just hold their hand on the stove.
	Okay, touch the stove.
	Go on.
	Oh, well, I want to touch it.
	It's hot.
	Oh, but I really want to touch it, but it's going to burn you.
	No, it's not.
	Ah, that hurt.
	Yes.
	Don't touch the bloody stove.
	And so this was talked about by Mr.
	Johnson, a Democrat, who's an elected representative, and says that as an African-American male who came of age in the 1990s, I remember a lot of people whose lives were devastated by violence.
	I don't want to go back there, he said during an interview during Dallas City Hall.
	up 25% Dallas has embarked on an old school approach which is hotspot policing which is heavily policing a small number of areas in which there is an excessive amount of violent crime wow that doesn't like again I hate to say simple solution but like that is a fairly But then you can see how the cycle just starts immediately again for the activists.
	Why are you over-policing black and brown communities?
	This is oppression along racial lines.
	Therefore, we should defund the police for being racist.
	And then the crime goes up again, and then we go back to hotspot policing.
	And I imagine in a generation or so, they're going to be touching that stove again.
	Yes.
	You know, but anyway, criminologists have found that it works to reduce crimes in the area identified as problematic.
	No kidding, right?
	And so they give the example of the King of Cuts Barbershop in South Dallas, a predominantly black neighborhood where assaults and robberies have been an issue.
	And Gerald Claiborne, 49, was well aware of this and was worried about his application.
	So even then, they're still trying to sneak leftism in, right?
	They say when you talk about hotspots, These are still minority communities.
	I don't care if they are or not.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're hot spots of crime.
	Yeah.
	Stop running around with guns.
	Like, I can't say that his plan won't work, because it will, but it's a bigger fix that's needed.
	Sure, it is.
	And I agree, but you're not prepared to have that conversation.
	And just for a bit of extra detail on this, the barbershop was a sight of mourning after its owner was shot and killed two years ago.
	Apparently this has become a place where police officers hold occasional informal meetings with local residents.
	It's like, right, okay, we need to start talking about why you're doing this then, don't you?
	But anyway, the police refunded leftists BTFO'd at the expense of a bunch of dead black people because that's how they roll.
	It's a price that is paid every few cycles.
	Yep.
	Anyway...
	Seriously, I've got no sympathy for them, the way they, like, for the left, not for the, obviously, the black community.
	Yeah, everyone else involved is getting screwed.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But this is why, like, I don't know why black people would ever vote for a Democrat.
	Like, the Party of Slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, and dead black people.
	They're pro all of those things or have been at some points in their history.
	And it's like, yeah, we're for the black community.
	It's like, yeah, you are for them, but are you for their benefits or what?
	You know, exploiting them.
	That's what it is.
	And I can't stand to see it.
	Anyway.
	I agree.
	Anyway, moving on to...
	You can now get prison time for misgendering a rapist.
	And that's a real thing.
	In a civilized, supposedly, Western country, such as Britain.
	I want to give a big shout-out first to the EDI jester, who is a chap I met at the Ideas Festival on Saturday.
	Great guy.
	He forwarded me this story.
	So if we go to the next one, we have the story itself.
	And it's women face punishment for using wrong pronouns in prison.
	So, if you're in prison as a woman, let's say you, my good sir, decide to become a rapist, and then you are in the court and you decide, actually, I'm a woman, and then you go to the female prison...
	To presumably continue doing what they were doing because they're a rapist, right?
	Yeah.
	And then the woman in there misgenders the rapist.
	They're the one in trouble, not the rapist.
	I'm the victim of them misgendering.
	Yes, the rapist in the question is the victim.
	So anyway, here's the story.
	Women prisoners who call transgender prisoners by the wrong pronoun could be punished with time added onto their sentence the government has warned.
	Deliberately referring to trans women as he or him may be treated as breaching prison rule against, quote, using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour.
	Right.
	And could be brought before an independent adjudicator, a visiting judge, who has the power to award added days.
	Okay.
	Yep.
	Fantastic.
	Keep those women in line.
	They're going to be in prison more.
	Why?
	Because some, like...
	They were insulting the rapists.
	A mayor rapist turns up and is like, hey, I'm a woman.
	Gets put in the female prison, and the female prisoners who insult him are given time.
	No, no, Calum, insult her.
	Oh, sorry.
	Terribly sorry.
	It's good I don't have a prison sentence, so that would have just gone up 10 foot.
	Anyway, so the threat will fuel a debate over policy of holding male-to-female transgender prisoners in women's jails.
	In 2019, there were 34 transgender women who were still legally male detained at 12 women's prisons in England and Wales.
	Now, you may remember the story about Karen White and the solution that was coming out of the government at the time was to set up...
	A third system of prisons, let's put it that way, hasn't come through yet.
	They should have called them non-binary prisons.
	Yeah, or just gender non-conforming prisons, something like that.
	I mean, that would have easily allowed them to fly under the progressive radar.
	So the punishment's warning was sounded by Justice Minister Lord Wolfen of Trendgear QC, who said incidents where a prisoner uses incorrect pronouns for another prisoner will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
	Oh, we can't get a rule for this.
	No.
	In line with the prisoner discipline procedures policy and the prison rules.
	Quote, prisoners may sometimes make an honest mistake.
	As if that, yeah, okay, so this is what they're going to do.
	They're going to make the decision about whether or not you are honestly misgendering me or not.
	I mean, you could say, well, I was in a woman's prison, therefore I must be a woman.
	That's an argument.
	Well, that's logically sound.
	They will make an assessment as to whether there's an honest mistake in relation to pronouns and disciplinary action would not usually be appropriate in such circumstances.
	However, if an officer deems inappropriate to place a prisoner on report, the rules against using threatening abusive blah blah blah behaviour may apply.
	The adjudicator will weigh in on each incident on its own merits.
	The policy stipulates that an offence motivated by another person's protected characteristics under the Equality Act is an aggravating factor and may merit referral to an independent adjudicator.
	Official guidelines state that disciplinary procedures are normally held by the prison governor and are only referred to the independent adjudicator if there was a possibility of days being added to the sentence, which is the most severe punishment possible.
	So yes, there is a direct line between being misgendered and the person who misgendered you getting days added.
	This is all taxpayer money being used on this.
	And that's according to the state as well.
	I met the lady who, I don't know if she wants to mention her name a lot, so I won't.
	But she managed to get that in front of Boris, she told me.
	And Boris' response was, I can't believe this is happening.
	And she just sat back like, there is no excuse for being this ignorant on this kind of level anymore.
	No.
	This nonsense is everywhere and it has to be dealt with.
	So, the Ministry of Justice is a communist institution.
	Advancing equality.
	Yep, that's Tony Blair's initiatives that the Conservatives have never gotten rid of.
	Nope, hopefully they should.
	Which is now leading to the logical conclusion that if you are misgendered as a woman in prison, and you're totally a woman, you swear, the person who does it, they get prison time added to their sentence.
	So I love how it's also compelled speech.
	But I love how this is also...
	Well, I don't love, but it's amazing as well that this is also victimizing women as well.
	It's only women who are going to be suffering from this.
	I don't think there are many trans men in male prisons.
	But why would the transgender prisoners misgender each other?
	They're there because they all buy into the ideology.
	Therefore, they're not going to be like, well, I'm a woman, but that's a man.
	It's a class solidarity that's going to form in women's prisons.
	The conversation going on, we're talking about prisoners, like people who are in prison, right?
	These are not good people.
	They are bad people.
	That's why we put them in prison.
	Anyway, so we go to the next one here.
	There's just John listed here.
	So up to half of trans inmates may be sex offenders.
	Wow.
	This was an example.
	The lady here, I believe, is in the thumbnail for this podcast on the website.
	So it's completely messed up.
	For anyone asking how a woman is convicted of rape, which the law requires the use of a penis, the answer is Artyom.
	Previously, known as David, was a man when she pinned down a 15-year-old victim in Portsmouth garage, she still has her male genitalia.
	The trial of Arteon expressed a wish to serve her time in a woman's prison.
	Now a proposed change in the law makes that desire a real prospect.
	And, as mentioned, many had moved in there.
	It's so progressive.
	One example of the kind of person that would get your prison sentence made bigger because you dared to misgender that rapist and pedo.
	And if we go to the next one, we have Karen White.
	What exactly is the cry for help going to be?
	Help?
	She's raping me with her female penis.
	Dear prison guards, come quick.
	Yes.
	And if you said he's raping me, then that's also days out for you.
	Yeah.
	Because you dared to misgender.
	Unbelievable.
	Sex offender.
	So leftism, getting more black people shot and getting more women raped.
	Yeah.
	Brilliant.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is why I'm not surprised by they call it progress.
	It's definitely not.
	So a trans inmate jail for Wakefield prison sex offences is Karen White.
	I mean, it is a certain kind of progress, but it's not the kind I want.
	The lady I mentioned previously.
	Sorry, yes, go on.
	Don't you dare misgender.
	A transgender prisoner who sexually assaulted two inmates at a women's jail and had previously raped two other women has been given a life sentence.
	So this is someone who's a man and then was like, no, bro, I'm a woman.
	So they put them in the female prison, and then, well, she sexually assaulted the women.
	With her female penis.
	What a shock.
	I mean, who could have seen this coming?
	I'm utterly dumbfounded.
	And this is what has led to the government proposing that we have a third prison system.
	If you can scroll down on this, we can see Karen in her pre-op situation.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	So White, 52, who is transitioning, was described as a predator who is a danger to women and children.
	So this is not, of course, the talk of all people who identify as trans, but it is the reality of the prison system that if you put men who believe there are women who are being convicted of rape in a female prison full of biologically female inmates, what did you think was going to happen?
	Yeah.
	Certainly not rape.
	Worse yet, if the female inmates decide to, let's say, rebel by misgendering the trans rapist...
	Then they get punished.
	Then they get punished.
	They get days added to their sentence.
	Fantastic.
	This is a wonderful system.
	I'm so glad that leftism has taken over Britain and the Conservative Party, as they have not got rid of this.
	Anyway, moving on.
	So we go to some other stuff on this that I thought was of interest.
	I love this.
	I mean, this is the level of conversation we have in the UK. It's a headline in the Telegraph.
	Pregnancy charity.
	Pregnancy charity will refer to women.
	Oh, and I like the way it says it.
	A pregnancy charity has rejected pressure to stop using the word women to make the services trans-friendly.
	Pregnancy.
	Trans women can't get pregnant.
	Nope.
	Not possible.
	But okay, they need to change their surfaces.
	Don't have cervixes, you see.
	They continued in here.
	The defence is actually rather pathetic.
	I didn't like that they didn't just make the obvious point that they can't get pregnant.
	They said instead the British Pregnancy Advice Service is believed to be the first major organisation to publicly state it will not remove gendered language.
	Oh my god.
	Someone has done that.
	Arguing that it is harder to fight sexism if it cannot clearly articulate it is predominantly women who are impacted.
	Oh, well there we go.
	For progressive reasons.
	Idiots.
	No, that is not the reason you should not destroy your own language.
	It is because the people you're dealing with obviously can't get pregnant, and many would argue that makes them not a woman, but that's an argument that is on the wall.
	Anyway, so we move to the next one.
	I have some other good stuff around all of these things.
	Remember Ben Hunt?
	Remember him?
	The guy who tried to smear Kevin Badenock because that is his job as a smear merchant.
	Doesn't he work for the Huffington Post or something?
	Weiss.
	He's ex-BBC, because that was easy.
	Weird, isn't it?
	The BBC to extreme leftism pipeline.
	Yeah, I thought I'd have some good news at least on this, so clap clap for the Conservatives on this small point, which is the BBC is expected to quit Stonewall's LGBTQ diversity programme.
	Yeah, but is it because Stonewall is insufficiently diverse?
	I mean, I don't know.
	It's because there's a waste of money.
	Well, that's true.
	But again, that's a cop-out, though.
	Because the argument would be, well, if we weren't a waste of money, you'd do it, wouldn't you?
	And the Conservatives would be like, that's right.
	I'm progressive.
	There's a waste of money.
	Of course it is.
	But the point is, they're not doing it because it's wrong.
	They're doing it because they just think it's an inappropriate use of funds.
	Yeah, I love the response from him here.
	So he apparently interviewed some of his comrades back in the institution he used to work for, and he has a quote, LGBT staff at the BBC told me they are super scared by the implications of the decision, and they hope managers will change their minds.
	Super scared?
	So Stonewall provided advice on which bathrooms people should use and what kind of pronouns you should use.
	And presumably armed guards as well.
	For a hefty fee.
	And then BBC's like, yeah, we're not going to do that.
	And yeah, that's made everyone super scared about what's going to happen.
	Well, the thing's going to happen.
	I don't know.
	Presumably gay people are going to get fired.
	Yeah.
	Start bullying people who are women in there.
	Rampant misgendering.
	Yeah, he's going to go back to, I don't know, the 30s or something for the BBC. Anyway, moving on from this.
	So we've got the next one.
	I found this rather interesting.
	Stop funding hate.
	Fairified checkmark.
	It's time for an honest debate about the scale of the institutional transphobia at the BBC. Same time.
	Who funds them?
	I don't know.
	But this was in response to them pulling out of Stonewall?
	And Pink News again being mad?
	I love that.
	Just infighting from leftists.
	It's always great to see.
	And I enjoy it.
	But also, I wanted to mention all of this stuff.
	So the stuff of the fight back here and the fight back that will presumably come in the prisons as well does come from the TERFs.
	This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but it is not Conservatives who have won these arguments.
	Yeah, but it's because no one cares about the Conservatives and their position on this.
	No.
	The Conservatives have totally ceded the field and the only people who are allowed to have a voice are women.
	Yeah.
	So the other point being that women seem to be better at getting political capital for their causes as well.
	Yeah.
	So if we go to the next one here, you have the turfs never sleeping and going after some signs here.
	So this is some guy, verify checkmark.
	Within my lifetime, LGBT people had to hide from their employers or faced being bullied and sacked.
	We finally made enough progress...
	To have big employers proudly supporting Pride, and what happens?
	They get vandalized with transphobic stickers.
	It's just unfathomably sad.
	And if you can click on the first image here, he's talking about the racial Pride flag that, specifically here, Halifax decided to use.
	Sorry, bank.
	I don't know why everyone's forgotten about 2008.
	I thought these people were wankers, but okay.
	You can see the segregated black and brown stripes there, and then the turfs never sleeping, because they're just turning up and being like, nah.
	Honestly, I'm loving it.
	I found it very interesting.
	Trans women are men and most of them have a penis.
	Yeah, you can just scroll through just so we can see the various different stickers.
	That's all it takes.
	That's all it takes.
	If they were saying something that was genuinely hateful, I'd understand.
	No, they're not.
	So...
	Anyway, so let's go to the last thing on here, which I found I wanted to tack on, because I just thought it was really funny.
	And we're going to have a lovely story of what happens when you tell these children, a specific child in this case, no.
	It's that simple.
	All you have to do is say new, and they can get stuffed.
	And that's all it takes.
	And you could have done that on day one.
	Yes, with any of this.
	And specifically the prisons being, of course, the worst one.
	So, this chap, chap, Jordan, the male name.
	Judickson Bennett.
	Judickson?
	Yeah, look at their Twitter ad.
	JordXNBennett.
	I suppose Jordan...
	Judickson.
	Some people call women Jordan, I don't know why.
	It's a boy's name, but whatever.
	Anyway, so this person wrote a story, and they thought they'd get sympathy, and like the University of Sussex people, who then realised, ah, crap, no one likes us, and had to hide their tweets.
	He hasn't yet, so I thought we'd just go through it because it's an interesting story.
	Okay, so I had the most disgusting, invalidating experience at Heaven Nightclub last night.
	Okay, hang on a second.
	I don't care if you've had an invalidating experience.
	No.
	I just don't care.
	Like, you know, when I, like, if I were to pretend to be a unicorn and people didn't validate it, I would be disgustingly invalidated by this standard.
	Yeah.
	But people would be like, yeah, but you're mental.
	I'd be like, well, that's true.
	As noted, we are also talking about Heaven.
	Heaven nightclub.
	As in, okay, yeah.
	It's a queer outlet.
	Yeah.
	A place where I am meant to feel free and accepted.
	Says who?
	Cueing to enter the club.
	It splits into two lines.
	Men and women.
	To be checked by separate people.
	So they're checking bags or whatever.
	But it's going to be men checking men and women checking women, isn't it?
	Yes, because that's the law.
	Yes.
	That you're meant to do these things.
	Because feminists ask for this.
	Yeah, this chap.
	I am non-binary, so of course I'm going to queue in the women's line in sheer protest of where I know they would expect me to queue based on my appearance.
	Oh, there we go.
	You did this to yourself, didn't you?
	I love how he's admitting that this is dumb.
	I did this to myself.
	I'm so angry.
	It's literally the stick in the spokes meme.
	Yeah, I can't get over the non-binary argument at all.
	I don't buy it for a second.
	I'm in agreement with Douglas Murray on this, that it just seems to be coming out as a look at me.
	But the thing here being like, yeah, I'm a non-binary, but I look like a man.
	Like, trans women make the effort to try and look like a woman.
	Yeah, think about how you're presenting, Jordan.
	Like, if you're making the effort to do nothing, and instead you just look like a man...
	I mean, I love Leo's quote on this.
	If someone else is having to do more work in your transition than you are, no one's going to take you seriously.
	It's not fair, is it?
	No.
	Anyway.
	So he says he looks like a man, and he was expecting them to expect him to be in the man's queue.
	And he was like, no, I'm going in the woman's queue.
	There's all these women around him being like, what the hell is this guy doing?
	Anyway, so he continues.
	Don't worry, ladies.
	He's non-binary.
	Yeah.
	I wait to be checked nervously, and then one of the security staff rudely gestures to me to go to the other line for men.
	I then kindly tell him that I am non-binary, whilst highlighting the pronouns on my earrings, which say they, them.
	I can't believe he didn't take you seriously.
	Could you imagine being the door guy who knows nothing about politics, doesn't care, just, you know, you're just marking the door.
	North FC doormans, like, don't care, simple as.
	And some bloke comes up to you, just like, well, my earrings, they say they, them.
	What?
	Like, They carried on refusing me access, because you're in the women's line, repeatedly saying this side was for women only.
	The thing is, Jordan is not even claiming to be a woman.
	No.
	He's saying, well, I'm non-binary.
	Well, that's the women's line.
	Don't use it.
	You're not for that one either.
	Anyway, so I shamefully walked to the other side.
	I love that.
	It's literally like virgin walk.
	She's like, oh, no, I lost.
	No one takes me seriously.
	So, weirdly, my earrings didn't convince him.
	Big shock.
	The two distinctly separate box-like detectors for each cue added to the prison-like atmosphere.
	I felt invalidated and embarrassed.
	Prison-like atmosphere?
	Having to queue in the men's section because you're a man.
	God.
	It's just like being in prison.
	Yeah.
	As a place that hangs the pride flag on every wall, invites non-binary performers every week to perform, and calls themselves a queer venue, this is anything but a queer venue.
	Oh well.
	And then I love how he ends it with that.
	Heaven is not and never will be a queer venue.
	I'm appalled.
	Okay.
	Certainly won't.
	And I thought that was amazing because it gives you a specific example of just say no.
	Just no.
	I don't care what your earrings say.
	You're clearly a bloke.
	Get in the bloke line.
	Enough of it.
	Well, I mean, at the very least, if you're going to say, I'm a woman, say I'm a woman, but don't say, I'm not a woman or a man, and then sit in the woman's line and expect to be in the line that's only for women.
	Nor make any attempt to look like a woman.
	Yeah.
	Nor do anything of the sort.
	Yeah.
	I'm not a woman, I don't look like a woman, and I don't call myself a woman.
	Why can't I stand in the women's line?
	Well, I think I've figured it out, Jordan.
	I mean, I've had a big thing.
	Me and the boys have got the math books out.
	Yeah, after enough, like, working around, like, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
	It's because you're not a woman.
	Yeah.
	Idiot.
	Anyway, there's a lesson from Jordan, and presumably a lesson directly to the Ministry of Justice, which is, sort yourselves out, the hell's wrong with you?
	Yeah.
	Speaking of sorting yourselves out, we appear to have found, well, not the last, but one of the few Conservatives left in the Conservative Party.
	Now, what I find interesting about the Conservative Party is it's clearly got this very thick layer of intersectional gloss over it, but underneath, you have a bunch of Conservatives who are like, I hate all of this with a burning passion, and one of them is a man called Jonathan Gullis, the MP for Stoke-on-Trent North.
	Do you know where Stoke-on-Trent is?
	Nah.
	In the North.
	Alright.
	It was a red wall.
	They'd been red since its inception.
	Like 80 years.
	And in 2019, they voted for Conservative.
	And this is the Conservative they voted for.
	A Conservative who thinks that teachers who use the term white privilege should be reported to prevent as extremists.
	I'm listening.
	Solidarity, comrade.
	Like, that's exactly what I want to hear out of conservatives in the North, just so you know.
	Teachers who use the phrase white privilege should be disciplined and reported to prevent as extremists, Jonathan Giles has claimed.
	He made the hardline claim at the Tory conference, where he also said teachers who show support for labour in the classroom should be sacked.
	Just absolutely.
	Hard line.
	I mean, okay.
	No, no.
	Let's assume this is hard line.
	Yes, that's exactly what should happen because the teachers shouldn't be promoting a political agenda in the classroom.
	Terms like white privilege are political agendas and radical political agendas at that.
	So he's absolutely right by the way that the country should be and has always been run.
	But also the second argument there being that if you're promoting a political party in the classroom, get lost.
	The hell's wrong with you?
	That's illegal.
	It is illegal.
	So the idea that that's a hardline position, it's been the law for God knows how long.
	But anyway, so he says that the term white privilege is an extremist term.
	It should be reported to prevent because it is an extremist ideology.
	And we will explore why shortly.
	He said, He also said, the other way we can stop the council culture is by actually saying to the woke left lecturers and woke left teachers, who seem to be becoming more and more apparent, ultimately, guess what's going to happen?
	If you're going to push for your ideology in the classroom, there are going to be consequences for you.
	Absolutely based.
	100% endorsed.
	This is exactly what I want to hear.
	This is what the Conservatives should have been doing on day one.
	This is what Boris should be coming out with.
	The fact that it's, you know, some wet-behind-the-ears Tory MP who's just been like, Ricky, we'll have just taken over from Labour because they're woke lunatics.
	Get rid of them.
	Yeah.
	Why won't all the Conservatives say this?
	It's also the whole thing, like, this makes me want to go out and campaign for the Conservative Party.
	Oh, yeah.
	If I was in Stoke-on-Trent North, I'd definitely campaign for this guy.
	Yeah, I don't want to hear or be campaigning for people who would be like, yeah, well, you know, I don't know if women have a cervix or not.
	I need more time.
	We hold to the traditional pride flag.
	Thank you.
	You know.
	He says, I don't push conservatism in the classroom.
	It wouldn't be an appropriate thing to do.
	For some reason, if a Labour Party member wants to stand up in front of the classroom and say how bad and evil the Tories are, then the headteacher has to take some sort of sympathetic viewpoint to that.
	It's absolutely disgusting.
	We need to start sacking people who are pushing their political ideology.
	Correct.
	Correct.
	It's so basic as well.
	Yeah, exactly.
	There's not really that much more to say about that.
	It's the proper way to do things.
	If you want to do that, join a political party.
	Come to Stoke on Trent North, pay your £500 deposit, run against me in the next general election.
	Get this man a crown.
	I love it.
	The Chad had you to be like, and you'll lose.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I think they would.
	But, you know, promote him to the head of the Conservative Party, if we can, please.
	Anyway, so he attended a Q&A and said, the first question I got was, what's your views on pronouns?
	I thought, what the hell are you doing?
	I've got no issue calling someone they or them or it or whatever it is they want to be called, but ultimately I don't believe that we should change the language and tell kids that somehow you're transphobic if you use he or she and you should be hounded into silence.
	Yeah.
	Again, not controversial outside of leftist politics.
	No one thinks this is wrong, apart from the prison service.
	I love how it's literally, it's right-wing politics.
	It's like, finally, we found a right-ringer in the right-wing part.
	Yeah, exactly, yeah.
	I'm shook.
	Yeah, yeah, and so there were people, I mean, you can imagine how this was reacted to on Twitter.
	Right.
	Like, people literally freaking out.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	We've got a conservative here.
	Wait, one of them still exists?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Jonathan Gullis, Tory MP for Stoke and Trent North.
	People use the term white privilege to be reported as extremists.
	Go woke, go broke, in response to Asian students on Facebook.
	He's against free school meals and for a stricter asylum system.
	This sounds great.
	I don't know, when he says against tax avoidance measures, yeah, I'm sure you're misrepresenting there somewhere.
	So what's wrong with saying go broke to Asians?
	Asians are like a sacred race that can't be told this?
	Yep.
	Secret of knowledge?
	Against Gibbs.
	He's against Gibbs.
	How dare he?
	He's for stricter assailances.
	He doesn't want people just rocking up on our shores and being like, right, I'm British now.
	You know, it's like, yeah, no, good, good.
	But I love the thing he's tweeted here.
	So it's a screencap from his Facebook page where he's like, apparently maths is racist.
	We've had gardening and now it's maths that's also racist.
	According to this report, to help break down racism in maths, teachers should teach via storytelling circles, incorporating dance, music, song, call and response and other cultural ways of communicating.
	In a maths class.
	You ever seen people who are good at maths?
	Yeah, they don't do any of that.
	Naturally gifted people?
	Yeah, they don't do any of that.
	Yeah, but also, I can't think of a better way of destroying the future generations of people who could do mathematics very well than making them go through some weird mumbo-jumbo that's just like, oh, screw this.
	But he says, apparently, if a teacher teaches black or Asian students the right way to do math, they would be reinforcing white supremacy culture.
	Go woke, go broke is what this report tells me.
	Based.
	It's so simple.
	What's wrong with that?
	I agree with him completely, right?
	Simple ass.
	And so, Labour are mad.
	Big mad.
	Labour MP Bel Ribeiro Adi tweeted out, The idea that white privilege exists isn't extremist.
	It's a widely accepted fact.
	Brilliant.
	The idea that Jews control Germany isn't extremist.
	It's a widely accepted fact.
	Says intersectional Adolf Hitler.
	Like...
	What do you want?
	I mean, it's just not an accepted fact.
	No.
	It's only accepted within your small circle.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's an ideological race warrior talking point.
	Like, it's not like a widely accepted fact, you bloody Nazi.
	Anyway, she says, Ah, yes.
	Hello, fellow working class people.
	Let me talk to you about your white privilege.
	I love how he's accusing him of driving a wedge in working class.
	She's accusing him.
	Sorry.
	She's accusing him of driving a wedge.
	I didn't check, actually.
	But the idea that she's not by being like, yes, so race war.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I think you're the one who's the problem here.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, this...
	She goes on to complain on Twitter.
	A Tory MP, blah, blah, the government is...
	Pushing their ideology on the classroom.
	This is authoritarian Tory government who are desperate to silence any and all opposition.
	Rather ironic.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you missed off there.
	She says the only people pushing their ideology.
	Sorry, the only people doing that.
	Are the Tory government.
	Unlike me, who thinks that white privilege and teaching children that they're inferior or oppressors is totally normal.
	Yeah.
	Part of life.
	Yeah.
	She's mad.
	I'm not pushing any ideology at all.
	And you're authoritarian.
	But also, if you don't do what I say, I'm going to ruin your life.
	You know, like, sorry, this is mad.
	So who is this lunatic?
	And so I had a look at a Twitter account.
	Oh, I follow her because she's one of my favourites.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, man.
	Look at that bio.
	Socialist.
	Feminist.
	Anti-racist.
	Trade unionist.
	She, her.
	So there we go.
	Who is she?
	And UK Labour MP for Streetum.
	Co-chair of the Socialist Campaign Group of MPs.
	So she's a race communist.
	Right.
	So she's a Nazi.
	She's on the extreme of the Labour Party, that group there.
	She's a racial socialist, just like a Nazi.
	Nazis were racial socialists.
	But for her, the Jew is the white man rather than Jewish people.
	Although, to be fair...
	I think Jews are white, according to these people.
	Yeah, but I'm sure she's not a big fan of Israel.
	I mean, she's Labour, so views on the Jews were strong.
	I wonder if she objected to the anti-Semitism training.
	Yeah, for people who don't know, the Labour Party conference was very recently.
	There was a guy who went on stage and said that he's going to make everyone take anti-Semitism training because they need that.
	No one else does in the country, but apparently everyone in Labour does.
	And also, when he tried to discuss that the party had discriminated and harassed Jews, the conference started booing and jeering.
	Listen, guys, with enough training, the Labour Party might not hate Jews.
	Yeah, and he had to shout down his own conference being like, stop booing the fact that we're going to discuss the word anti-Semitic.
	And I was like, okay.
	So where is she from?
	Well, she's from Streatham in London.
	Wikipedia describes it as among the most ethnically diverse constituencies.
	Streatham, which covers parts of blah, blah, blah, is in the south London borough of Lambeth.
	Only 58.2% of residents are white, which means English, back in 2011.
	Well, probably smaller because you have Polish and Romanian and so forth.
	Well, we'll get to that, yeah.
	But yeah, exactly.
	Yes, they do say that.
	It has among the most mixed-race and black residents in the country.
	It also has Polish, Portuguese and Hispanic communities.
	The bulk of residents are aged 25 to 44, with relatively few pensioners.
	Although it is a residential area, it is more popular among young workers than families, having good transport links to central London.
	Many residents rent, and there is a large social housing sector.
	At just over 6% of the population, Streetham has the largest proportion of LGBT plus people in the country.
	Stratton, sorry.
	Thank you, John.
	I don't live in London, I don't come from London, and God willing, I'll never have to go to London again.
	Sorry, am I wrong?
	No.
	But the point, though, what are we describing here?
	Young people who have come here to rent, to work, this is Global Nomad Central.
	Yeah.
	These are not people with long-standing investments in their local community, and so she is one of those nowhere people, the anywhere people, the universal humans, who have turned up with their pronouns and their bios to tell you how you should live your life.
	If a foreign army conquered this part of London, no one there would sign up to defend it.
	Yeah.
	And no one there would probably notice the difference either.
	But the point is, she's one of those universal people.
	And obviously, she's a lunatic, and that makes her an extremist, because Britain is not a universal country.
	It's a very long-settled country, with...
	People living in it for very long periods of time, thousands and thousands of years.
	You can trace back the ancestry of people living in Britain.
	So it's not like America or something, where it's just like, oh, we've just turned up and people all around the world can turn up.
	No, it's a different country.
	Anyway, let's get to the big brain intervention by Claudia Webb.
	Your favourite.
	Yeah, also currently on trial for threatening to throw acid in a woman's face.
	So I'm going to zip it.
	Go ahead.
	She says, Moving on.
	Labour's not sending its best.
	The worst part is, she's an MP. They are sending their best.
	I harass women and will throw acid in their faces.
	That's right, I'm a feminist.
	Don't call me an extremist.
	Check your white privilege.
	Anyway, so the next one is Dr.
	Shola.
	I love Dr.
	Shola so much.
	She says, classic white privilege in action.
	Go on, report me to prevent as an extremist.
	Label us terrorists for being anti-racist.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Chad, yes.
	Yes.
	Exactly, yes.
	She is an extremist.
	She hates Britain.
	She's been trying to destroy this country through her entire political career.
	She is a terrorist.
	I mean, look, unironically, we have a prescribed list in the UK, a prescribed organisation.
	And she should be on it.
	And there are far-right organisations on there, as traditionally that word is used, for tweets that are deemed to be inciting violence.
	Many a leftist we could find for less.
	Yep.
	And let's just let her explain her Nazi-like position.
	Jonathan Gullis MPs views a racist with the caucasity...
	That's a port menu of Caucasian and audacity.
	This is a racial term.
	Only white people can have this white audacity...
	Talks like that!
	An extremist who needs to be put on the prevent list.
	The caucasity to say it, because Tory racial gatekeepers like Kemi, Badenok and Priti Patel legitimise such views.
	Just call them Uncle Tom's, or Aunt Jemima's, or whatever you call them.
	Just unbelievable, unbelievably racist.
	That's amazing.
	The invention of language, though, is just like every word is going to sync with some kind of racial word.
	She can't not be a racist, right?
	So she's a massive racist.
	She hates this country.
	So please, please treat her like a terrorist, because she is.
	She is a social terrorist.
	She's trying to destroy the social fabric of this country.
	And, I mean, I think terrorists should be deported as well, so...
	There we go.
	But anyway, so let's talk about what white privilege is.
	We can go to the next one.
	I saw people saying, well, hang on a second.
	Dr.
	Zubaidia Haik.
	Welsh name, I think.
	Yeah, yeah, bound to be.
	Said, well, I mean, this Jonathan Gullis MP who thinks I should be promoted for promoting extremist ideology, well, here's what white privilege really means, and then links to the BBC. Yeah, as if the BBC aren't guilty of this.
	As if the BBC aren't riddled with leftist extremists, right?
	And here the BBC give us a leftist extremist.
	So let's understand what white privilege is from the mouths of...
	The extremists.
	Shortly to mention, though, that's BBC Bitesize, which is made for children.
	Promoting racial extremism to children.
	Let's go.
	But white privilege, and indeed all privilege, is actually more about the absence of inconvenience, the absence of an impediment or challenge, and as such, when you have it, You really don't notice it.
	But when it's absent, it affects everything you do.
	There are lots of types of privilege out there.
	The privilege of being born into a wealthy family versus a poor family is kind of obvious.
	But then there's the privilege of being able-bodied versus having or acquiring a disability.
	That most of us take for granted.
	I have two very close friends who are wheelchair users and I'll be honest when I first met them I was completely ignorant about the everyday ways their lives are made harder through no fault of their own.
	Some of these ways are simply thoughtless but some of them are just the way we live, just the way we build infrastructure, just the way everything works.
	That just makes their life harder than mine.
	There's a good chance, as a white person watching this, your life is already hard.
	Every day you have to overcome some difficulty or challenge just to get by, but you can still have white privilege.
	White privilege doesn't mean you haven't worked hard or you don't deserve the success you've had.
	It doesn't mean that your life isn't hard or that you've never suffered.
	It simply means that your skin color has not been the cause of your hardship or suffering.
	Liar.
	Hang on, hang on, hang on.
	So, your skin colour has not been the cause of your hardship.
	Abolish white privilege.
	What does that mean?
	That means your skin colour should be a problem, a cause of your hardship.
	But also, notice the way he's like, yeah, so, let's talk about privilege.
	Disabled people, just like black people, Disabled black.
	This has happened many a time.
	The Welsh government was giving out grants to disabled people, blacks and women.
	But moreover, look at what he's actually saying there.
	In England, he's saying that the culture of England is amenable to the English.
	Being English isn't a drawback in England.
	Yeah.
	How could it be?
	Why should it be?
	How could it be any other way?
	Like, being Nigerian isn't a drawback in Nigeria, as Kemi Badenoch would put it.
	It's also a lie, as we've demonstrated with the government, discriminating against white applicants.
	That's in the absence of all of these corrective measures to make white people's lives more difficult.
	I want to make the point known, because it's the BBC, the civil service, GCHQ, we could go on, and that's not nothing.
	That's the state actively doing it.
	But the very nature of calling out privilege, when they say white, they mean English in England, Scottish in Scotland.
	Because if you're an English person, you go to Scotland, like, you know, I've dated people who have lived in Scotland as English people, and it's not...
	I'd rather be Scottish while I was there.
	Yeah, exactly, right?
	It's not the same.
	But that doesn't mean that Scottish privilege should be destroyed.
	Scotland shouldn't be amenable.
	It should be more difficult to be a Scot in Scotland.
	Obviously not.
	It's a ridiculous statement, right?
	So what privilege is, is an extremist position where what they're trying to do is identify and destroy the kind of social fabric of these countries that is normal to those people that live there.
	And this could be applied to any country anywhere, right?
	And this is the weapon of the global nomads.
	This is what they do.
	Say, well, hang on a second.
	A foreigner doesn't get along as well in your country as someone who's native to the country.
	And everyone's like, well, duh.
	You know, how could they?
	They're not from there.
	They don't know all the customs, blah, blah, blah.
	But this is a justification to destroy the particular culture because it's not universal.
	Because there are people out there, you know, there are tribes in Papua New Guinea who don't know how to fill out your civil service forms, you know, therefore, white privilege.
	It's like, it doesn't make any sense.
	It's just cultures that are all different.
	And, yeah, as I said, like, there's no reason that the long-settled culture of the countries around the world, not just ours, shouldn't be as they are.
	It's inevitable that someone would be inconvenienced in this way, and it's not because of skin colour.
	It's because of cultural background.
	No, but he would also argue, if we steal a man's position, that someone born and raised in England who is housing brown skin has more difficulties than someone born and raised in England with white skin.
	But then that's just a lie.
	And it's just statistics.
	We know that's a lie.
	Also by the job applications publicly available by the government.
	Not to say that, but we can look at the income.
	If earnings is any metric of success and privilege, it's white men who are at the bottom.
	Also on education.
	Yeah.
	But that's, you know, that's outcome.
	Working class white English people are at the very bottom.
	I get that, but that's outcome.
	But I can't get over the fact he's doing that for the BBC, and the BBC has been caught multiple times and defended their position of not hiring white people for jobs.
	Yes.
	But to understand why he's even asking for this, it's to understand that this is them asking to create global way stations for the nomads of globalism as they just move around the world and expect to find exactly the same culture in every place.
	I talked about this at the live event with the...
	The Universal Human video.
	I definitely recommend it if you want to understand where this comes from and why it operates in the way it does.
	But anyway, going back to our Conservative MP, Jonathan Gullis, when called out on this, he doubled down on it like an absolute hero.
	Chad.
	Exactly.
	Is the term white privilege extremist?
	I have been told lefty Labour Twitter is in meltdown because I use the term white privilege in schools and said it's extremist.
	Firstly, the so-called leaked comment was made at an open panel at the Conservative Party conference, which party members and press were all free to attend and was advertised in advance, so it wasn't leaked.
	Secondly, I have said I think he's extremist and should be reported to prevent in the past on the Education Select Committee.
	So not only did I do it this time, I've done it before!
	And hopefully he'll do it again.
	We actually had a point about this on the Left Behind White Peoples from Disadvantaged Backgrounds inquiry I was a part of, and which Labour voted against supporting.
	Remember that white privilege?
	So the country's so run in the favour of the native white people that they're failing.
	And Labour are, like, good.
	Because they're fighting a race war.
	Lastly, I would urge any left woke warrior to visit Stoke-on-Trent North, Kidsgrove, and talk, and try and tell the people that they are somehow privileged.
	I suspect they wouldn't like the response they get.
	Hero of the Empire, give this man a medal.
	Let's go to video comments.
	I think I have a bit stuck on Trinna, actually, now that I remember it.
	I think I've got, like, there's a...
	I think it's there.
	You get, like, these breakfast things in the north that are different.
	I think it's a Midlands thing, actually, where it's...
	Different?
	Yeah, it's like pancake and then bacon and cheese or whatever, and you wrap it up.
	I can't remember what they're called right now.
	That doesn't sound keto-friendly.
	It's very good.
	I bet it is.
	I'm sure the chat can remind me.
	Let's go.
	A special thank you to the about 200 people so far that have subscribed to my channel.
	Thank you so much.
	I wasn't around for the very first few episodes of the Lotus Eaters.
	I found out it existed sometime around episode 30.
	So my question is, why did you pick that name?
	What was the inspiration for it?
	Is it the Greek mythology Lotus Eaters or a different kind of Lotus Eaters?
	Like, what is the meaning behind the name?
	Just as a quick side note, I have over a dozen animals in my house.
	So if people like seeing pictures and videos of cute animals, I can include more in video comments like I did the pug on my YouTube.
	Nah, I want to see more building.
	Nah, more animals.
	But no, I chose it just because it's from the Odyssey, and it represents a paradigm shift away from whatever Odysseus' plan to destruction is.
	And if anyone's like, well, what was wrong with what Odysseus was doing?
	Well, Odysseus was the only survivor of the Odyssey.
	I don't really want to go with him on that journey, the left-wing Odyssey into the future.
	I'd rather get off at the Island of the Lotus Eaters, where no one was trying to kill you, you know, just so you know.
	But anyway...
	I'm being reminded, oatcakes, that's the name of the thing.
	Right, okay.
	So go look that up, especially if you're visiting England and you're traveling around.
	Get an oatcake, trust me.
	Love your time.
	Alan, thanks very much for your comments yesterday.
	By way of explanation, I think I'm part of a silent majority in the Labour Party, in the fact that I used to be with Labour, but then they changed what Labour was.
	Now what I'm with isn't Labour.
	And what's Labour, it seems weird and scary to me.
	The thing is, it'll happen to you.
	It's happening to conservatives right now.
	You know, it's happening to most parties.
	So I'm just going to sit here, call BS on YC, and if they kick me out, they kick me out.
	I mean, that's totally accurate.
	That was a fantastic video and a very, I'm going to say, based way of just operating yourself.
	Screw it.
	If you're already in there, have some fun.
	The idea of your silent majority, I take my doubts with because, of course, my knowledge is largely coming from watching the conferences of the delegates because it's, you know, it's one thing between the average members.
	It's the other thing between people who have the power to...
	I mean, at the end of the day, if the silent majority is going to let this happen, then what good is it?
	It's even stranger in the Labour Party, because considering the structure of your party, you have so much more access to changing things around if you are the silent majority, because all the membership of the Conservatives can do is vote for the leader.
	But there's no wide-awaken will of their own.
	They're very much sleeping.
	That was Giovanni Gentili's conception of the state under fascism.
	As in, they don't act as a unified body and they don't do anything.
	It's like, okay, well, you may as well be the silent majority, but this very noisy minority of Bolsheviks is literally taking over your party and making you all look like effing retards.
	If you're not going to do anything about it...
	But you are right.
	It's going to happen to you, Conservatives.
	And I tell you what, if the Conservatives go after Jonathan Gullis, I'm going to be so annoyed.
	It's going to be such a disgraceful thing for the Conservatives to do.
	I actually really enjoyed the Northern Tory MPs who came through.
	Yeah, they've been great.
	What's interesting about them is everyone assumed they were going to be, like, labor on economics, right?
	And overwhelming, they're actually thatch rights-based.
	Because they're like, no, no, that doesn't work.
	That's why I'm in the Conservative Party.
	Why the hell do you think I would be with them?
	And I was like, oh, yeah.
	I don't know why I assumed that.
	Good.
	They're also making the most of it.
	Excellent.
	Yeah, more culture warriors, please.
	So one of my co-workers is a Nigerian woman who goes to university.
	And one of the things that she has told me is that she's never going to take women in gender studies because all of the women she's met who have are angry, hate men, and don't make good wives.
	Just putting that out there.
	Absolute chat.
	I love that last insult.
	Yeah.
	I think it's the only one you can still make in a university and won't get you in disciplinary procedures.
	Don't make good wives.
	Yeah.
	It's true.
	It's totally true.
	At the Battle of Ideas, there was a free speech conference and one of the people on there was a lady, I think it was Lisa.
	She's in Scotland.
	She took a feminist course and called the people.
	We covered her.
	Yeah, Lisa Keogh.
	Yeah, she called them man-hating feminists because they were man-hating and feminists.
	And she got called in and had this procedure against her and all the rest of it.
	But I think if she just said, you make terrible wives...
	I think it'll be more poignant and there's nothing they can say.
	It's such a sort of Chad feminine move as well.
	I'll make a great wife.
	You're a terrible wife.
	A woman making that argument is so better as well.
	Hey Lotus Eaters, greetings from the fascist state of Canada.
	I was wondering what you guys are planning on doing specifically when the inevitable S hits the fan and you and tens of millions of people in England and the UK are strapped for resources.
	Also, this will be my last video comment for a while.
	I lost my job because of government and COVID tyranny, so I'll be downgrading to bronze and here's a doggo for Callum.
	Hello!
	There's a good doggo.
	What are we going to do when we get tyrannized, Callum?
	I don't know if I can say on the internet.
	I don't have any particular such plans.
	I always just do my best.
	Hopefully ride it out.
	Yeah, I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
	Just love watching stuff getting put together.
	I wonder how much does it take to become an electrician just out of interest?
	Like is it a years thing or...?
	It takes determination, excellent maths, English and science.
	Three years at college, five years practical, just for your basic electrician.
	Some of the exams we do last days.
	Every 12 or so years we retrain.
	I have my own business, a trad wife, kids, and no mortgage.
	Look at that flex.
	That was incredibly based.
	That was a great flex.
	I thought you were going to get loads of these.
	I'm in awe of that man.
	Yeah.
	Living the dream.
	How to become an electrician in Canada.
	Step one, take the 24-week Electrical Foundations college course.
	Step two, work on rejoining an electrician for 2,000 hours.
	Step three, take the second year 10-week electrical course.
	Step Step 5, take third-year electrical for 10 weeks.
	Step 6, work 2,000 more hours.
	Step 7, take the 10-week, fourth-year electrical course and pass your interprovincial exam.
	You are now ready to begin your career as an electrician.
	That's awesome.
	Good God, they're about steps.
	But I like the pride, though.
	Look at the pride in these men.
	I mean, they bloody earned it.
	Exactly!
	Like, this absolute Chad look on them and say, yeah, and then you'll be as good as I am.
	I feel like we should get a partnership with some kind of electrician school at this point.
	I'm starting to feel that we need to start having these sort of courses to become a host on this podcast.
	On that level of weeks and weeks of training.
	I just like when we've got the academic agency, you know, academic agents' courses on writing and whatnot.
	We need to do some electrician stuff.
	Let's get that next one.
	On this week's episode of Where's That Ape?
	I'm in Northern Scotland.
	This is the first time I've been able to travel back to Scotland and see my family since December 2019.
	It's been a while.
	Also, my best friend is getting married today.
	Yes, I'm in a kilt.
	And, yeah, that's it.
	Not much to say.
	Just wanted to share my joy.
	Later, chaps.
	That's awesome.
	That's good to see.
	Wearing a kilt as is proper.
	Oh, God, what is this?
	This is a stream I did on Saturday.
	I think there's a problem that's not being addressed here.
	And that is that the progressives are turning tomboys into a dying breed, because according to their logic, they're not really women, they're 40 percenters in denial and must be converted to the truth.
	Well, I think we should just appreciate them as slightly untraditional women and turn them into soccer moms, as is our duty as men.
	I mean, I agree, I'm one of the tomboy respecters, so he's not wrong, but they're like, there are no such thing as gay men, they're all trans.
	You know, there's no tomboys, they're all trans too.
	Look at that, everyone who doesn't conform to the gender binary is trans, gotcha!
	And it's like, right, now we need to start chopping stuff off.
	It's like, okay, you're no extremist.
	I feel like I'm so far removed from whatever debate is going on that I don't understand it.
	But the whole thing wasn't about tomboys anyway, really.
	It was about unmanly men.
	And men have an obligation to be manly.
	I can agree with that.
	So let's go to the next one.
	Hey, guys.
	I'd like you to look up the new New South Wales premiere, Dominic Perrottet, because I've heard him talking, and he's talking a lot like Ron DeSantis, so I'm a bit enthusiastic about him.
	Also, I keep getting asked this question, so I'm going to settle it once and for all.
	Yes, all my novels are in audiobook form.
	You can get them on the books page at the website.
	Guys, say it loud, say it proud.
	That's cscooper.com.au.
	Yep, that's some good smart shilling, Cooper.
	You bastard.
	No, no, that's fine.
	He burned into my head.
	I can't get that.
	I'm happy with that.
	Just checking out this Perrier's Twitter account.
	I'll have to do it afterwards.
	Yep.
	Go to the next one.
	Nobody wants you when you're old and gray You better change your way today You better change your way If
	Hasan Piker didn't have the same IQ as my refrigerator, I'd agree with you.
	I was talking to Mark about this, and he was like, wouldn't it be amazing if Hassan just turned around in a year or something?
	I was a capitalist all along!
	I was just like, thanks lads!
	He's not nearly smart enough for that kind of endeavour, I'm afraid.
	But I would enjoy it.
	To be honest, even if he's been a socialist all this time, if he ever does get convinced that actually, wait, no, this is all nonsense or whatever, right?
	He gets...
	How would I get my mansion under socialism?
	Tick, tick, tick, tick.
	I wouldn't.
	If the clock finally does take one tick and he moves, I really think that the best thing for him to do is not to come up and be like, hang on, I think I was wrong, but to do the chat.
	Thanks for the money, lads.
	Bye-bye.
	That would be good.
	Don't be wrong.
	Also, I like your little rodent.
	I don't know what type of rodent is.
	There's a hamster.
	It's adorable.
	Is that a hamster?
	I thought hamsters were more fluffy.
	Well, some are.
	There are different breeds of hamster.
	I don't know nothing about rodents.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So now that the Canadian government is persecuting me as a federal worker, I'm just going to go on paternity leave since I'm still within the year of my last child and hope that I can avoid the whole passport thing while at work.
	Meanwhile, when I am on paternity leave, I'll see if it passes by and meanwhile look for something else to do.
	Alternatively, you know, family of four seeking asylum and refuge if anyone from a free country wants to take us.
	Are there any free countries left?
	I know Hungary was taking refugees from Western Europe at one point to escape political correctness.
	And that wasn't just a meme, they actually did do it for a few people.
	Heroes.
	So, I don't know what their stance is on COVID. So, Hungarian's a bad language to learn, though, because it's hard.
	Because it's not Indo-European?
	No.
	It's Uralic or Uralic.
	Step people.
	They found that really funny.
	Just every country around them is a foreigner to them, technically.
	Yeah.
	The Lord President, white.
	The Lord Justice Clerk, white.
	Every High Court Judge, white.
	The Lord Advocate, white.
	The Solicitor General, white.
	The Chief Constable, white.
	Every Deputy Chief Constable, white.
	Mr Rajampaji, white.
	Oh, God.
	I can't remember the guy's name who sent me the Rhodesia document, but yeah, he should really write a letter to Hamza Yusuf.
	Yeah, so here's my dad, born in Bombay, white.
	Mum, born in Bombay, white.
	Be good.
	So, I've red-pilled Francesca on Joe Biden, and she now knows that Joe Biden equals dementia and wrong.
	And I've shown her the Times Magazine article about the election and how it was fortified.
	But I've not red-pilled her on everything yet, and I'm pretty sure this is a critical race theory book, and she sent me this over Facebook, and wished me luck in red-pilling her on this.
	And, yeah, wish me luck on that.
	Red-pilling Francesca is a slow process, but we're getting there, we're getting there.
	She used to love Joe Biden.
	Well, I've not read that book, so I've not even heard of it, actually.
	So good luck with that.
	Let us know how it is.
	Breadpilling is always a good service.
	It's your duty.
	My company has a diversity committee and also a charitable foundation.
	We receive regular updates all the time about everything the diversity committee is doing.
	Oh, it's so important.
	We never hear a word about the charitable foundation at all.
	It seems to me that even if I accept the premises of being woke, that Building houses for poor people in rural Mexico is going to be more, you know, a bigger deal than using correct pronouns.
	So why is it that seemingly compatible elements of traditional morality end up giving way to this ridiculous ideology?
	I haven't figured that one out.
	Thanks.
	It's almost like it's a self-serving lie, isn't it?
	But also these kind of people, socialists specifically, don't value material conditions more than they value ideological conformity.
	I think it's more than that.
	I think it's just that, I mean, what does a California socialist care about housing in Mexico?
	They only care about that on a very abstract and theoretical level.
	That happens somewhere else to other people.
	They don't even care about housing in California.
	Exactly, but misgendering happens to them in real life.
	That doesn't even have to be true.
	No, but I think it is about proximity.
	But you are right.
	They are more concerned about the theoretical enforcement of gender pronouns than anything else.
	The reason I'm saying it's like that is because you can look at situations in the Soviet Union and all the rest of it.
	The proximity can be zero.
	They can have absolutely no proximity to the thing, but the ideological conformity is far more important to these types of people.
	Like Palestine.
	That's an example.
	Yeah.
	So there's that.
	Also, the diversity committee idea.
	I met loads of people at the Ideas event who have also done the same thing those guys in the bank did, who have all just joined the diversity committees.
	Get paid.
	There are people teaching the new generation on diversity and inclusion who are base, and they're using our videos to teach them about why some of the leftist stuff is nonsense.
	Get paid.
	Send them the videos.
	So, mate, advice.
	If you can get on that committee, bloody do it, and then use it to subvert its own purpose and make it a force for baseness instead of cringe.
	Let's get a nice one.
	Hey, Little Cedars.
	Tony D and Little Joan here with a Columbus Day message.
	Columbus Day was created in 1905 by an Italian immigrant brought to the forefront by a Hispanic state senator in Colorado.
	It was to welcome the Italian immigrants and celebrate Italian heritage.
	That's why they built so hundreds of statues across the United States.
	It was very much a progressive cause, yet the progeny of those progressives now want to tear the statues down.
	It's as good a reason as any to get rid of the statues, to be honest.
	Marmalade in your hands or something?
	What's going on there?
	You'll see Jonah Barkley.
	To destabilize institutions and organizations in a country of your enemy.
	And it takes only from two to five years.
	Essentials.
	Economy, foreign relations, defense systems.
	In such sensitive areas, influence of Marxist ideas is fantastic.
	You don't have to send battalions to blow up bridges.
	No.
	You let them do it themselves.
	The violent clashes are presented as something normal.
	Radicalization, militarization sometimes.
	Media puts himself in the opposition to the society.
	Separate.
	Alienated.
	Send me that across, John.
	I'm putting that out as well.
	That's so good.
	That is such a good video.
	Fantastic.
	I'm loving this little series.
	I can't wait for the last one as well.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Normalization.
	Harry says, their desire to fund the police and funding other government agencies to solve the city's issues is part of a much bigger problem.
	Reliance on government and bureaucrats to fix your life is never going to be better than improving the actual moral character of the population itself.
	But that's a lot harder to do and requires a lot more of work, so let's not bother, right?
	You know, that's really interesting.
	I'm reading the Federalist Papers at the moment, and one of the things...
	Someone's got to remind me who's writing as Publius.
	But one of the things that I thought, I can't remember who it is, but Publius is saying, well, look, you know, we're going to prevent government corruption here and this and that.
	And it constantly comes back to him going, well, look, I mean, this is actually quite a good way of preventing corruption.
	And so the only threat there would be the population themselves becoming corrupt.
	And so there's nothing more than we can do.
	And that's not going to happen.
	It's like, isn't it?
	I mean, maybe not in the 18th century, but now, 200 years, you know, population deeply corrupt.
	There must have been societies before ours that voted themselves money.
	They literally just gave straight money.
	In like 1789 or whenever it was written, that was pre-welfare state.
	Did the Romans not have anything like this?
	They were just like, yeah, I vote to increase the bread doll by a million percent.
	Yeah, but that was an emperor.
	They weren't voting for that.
	The emperor was just saying, keep them quiet.
	Anyway, vote yourself more stimulus checks, I guess.
	Yeah.
	Long Talks on the Neat says, We all know that capitalism is the cause of injustice.
	Defunding the police removes capitalism from the police force.
	If crime goes up after that, it's not real defunding.
	Real defunding has never been tried, comrades.
	SH Silva says, Considering the police are now just enforcing the COVID tyrannies of these cities, I say we defund the police again.
	Maybe.
	Heathcliff says, Well, this clip won't be on YouTube, so still better disavow it just in case.
	And Tyba Fett says, uh, the more black people...
	For people wondering, I mean, usually I'm kind of like half jovial about using the word she.
	You know, it's like she, you know, I emphasize the fact that it's obviously a bit absurd.
	Yeah.
	Especially when talking about rapists.
	Yeah.
	But Tyba says, the more black people that die, the more the Democrats can trot out false narratives to motivate middle class white activists, which are the most active and, dare I say, militant wing of the Democrats to march and vote for them.
	That's all correct.
	Maybe it went too far for them.
	They only wanted some martyrs, not a chunk of their voting base destroyed, and see the activists then turn out for them.
	Well, you say that, but the thing is, do they really?
	I don't think they care about what happens to black people in these inner cities.
	I don't think they care at all.
	Why would they?
	They don't change their votes.
	Exactly.
	I mean, these people probably don't do that much voting anyway.
	Like these gang members who are shooting each other.
	I think there's a lot of voters there.
	No, but I was more thinking about black Americans in general.
	Well, yeah.
	It's something that doesn't...
	I don't get...
	People who will never change their vote don't seem to realise that they're worthless in the political game, because if you can be relied upon to act like a patient dog...
	Yeah, they won't do anything for you.
	They will never do anything for you, regardless of who you vote for or what group you are.
	It's just...
	No, you have to have lines in which you'll say, no, I'll go with the other guy.
	I mean, what did Trump do for the evangelicals?
	Not much.
	You know, it's just a rule of politics.
	Yeah, it's just a fact of life.
	If you're a community that complains about things not changing on that front, specifically the black community always being in the same situation they are, but if you keep voting Democrat forever, they're not going to respect you.
	But not only that, look at the record of the Democrats in places like Detroit or Chicago.
	Detroit is especially a good example.
	Because the city has just collapsed.
	Yeah, I mean, it couldn't get more absurd.
	Yeah, and it's been Democrat-run for like 60 years or something.
	It's like, okay, well, who are you going to blame?
	The Republicans.
	Oh, the evil Republicans ruined your city.
	Vote Democrat.
	Like you did last time.
	And the time for like your grandparents.
	For the last 40 years.
	Yeah, like your great-grandparents did.
	It's like, you know, it's just absurd.
	But I mean, you know, what are you going to do?
	Benjamin says, prisoners can get longer sentences for misgendering.
	Will they bring back gallows for dead naming?
	Possibly.
	Robert says, penis owners got searched by penis owners.
	Simples.
	It seems this Jordan guy may have attempted to sexually assault women's security guards.
	Oof.
	Callum says, I feel unclean for saying this, but it is apt.
	Annie says, Z said, What?
	Yes, because, I mean, thinking about it, I mean, what is it, Section 5 or whatever we have in normal life, if you're using language that's offensive, causing alarm or distress, is illegal.
	Combine that with the Equality Act, you know, that's all they did in the prisons.
	You can do that on the streets if you're a police officer.
	It's all there.
	I don't know why I'm giving them ideas, but it's already in law.
	No, no, no.
	Make it happen.
	Make it happen.
	I want things to get worse, frankly.
	Because they've got to.
	People have to understand this is the country that they live in and it's going to affect them.
	Very Harry Miller.
	Well, sorry.
	Well, no, I agree with Harry Miller.
	Harry Miller's an absolute mad lad.
	And he's just like boltering and being like, yeah, so police, here's an idea, here's an idea, here's an idea.
	Yeah.
	I'd just go and do it.
	He's like, right, now you're getting sued.
	It's going to get worse before it gets better, so let's just keep going.
	Free Will says, the Overton window is being pushed to the point where the term white privilege is almost acceptable unless we resist this trend.
	What is the next step on this path?
	Correct.
	And that's why people who use the term white privilege are extremists, and you should be able to call it out anywhere you go.
	What is caucasity if it is not a slur, especially used in the pejorative context it often is?
	Well, Dr.
	Shola can't talk about white people without being pejorative because she's a racist.
	So, yes.
	I just think of terms Richard Spencer would come up with for brown-skinned people.
	He'd finally lose that Twitter account if he spoke like her.
	Yeah, he would.
	These race warriors pose as anti-racist while pushing an agenda that if taken to its conclusion leads to the horrors of the 20th century.
	That's correct.
	Ignacio says, teachers have no business having opinions in general in the classroom.
	Correct.
	You have a job to do.
	F off trying to be anything else other than the dry information source you have to be.
	Teachers have no right to teach morals, politics, or even give their own opinion on what they're teaching at the moment.
	I mean, possibly they can give an opinion on, like, physics or maths or something.
	This is a bit of a boring section, but we're going to have to do it, etc., etc.
	I'm happy with that.
	Well, you know, you can expand that on a class on politics, sociology, that this aspect is a bit silly or whatever.
	Yeah, I don't know about sociology.
	But these things aren't taught in secondary school anyway, so it's not a concern.
	So, I mean, he is specifically talking to the secondary school system, you know, before university, I'd say.
	Joe says, there is nothing more racist than targeting an entire ethnic group of the collective crime, regardless of the innocence or guilt of its individuals.
	Jordan Peterson.
	Yeah, I mean, that's what racism is.
	Carbohydrate Crusader says, I'm disabled.
	Shove your privilege up your arse.
	I refuse to be a victim to my body for political gain, you unabashed losers.
	But I just can't get over how they're just openly saying black people are disabled, basically.
	Yeah, I mean, as I mentioned, I still can't go over it.
	I mentioned it earlier, but the Welsh government, after COVID, were giving out loans to start small businesses to disabled people, people with brown skin, and women.
	It was like, uh, okay.
	I mean, I'm more for disabled people getting loans because they're disabled, right?
	They're going to need some help to get equipment.
	It didn't make sense in the context.
	Of course.
	It was a specific scheme about people have lost their jobs due to COVID, so we'll give them loans to start businesses and kickstart the economy, but we'll only give it to disabled brownskins and women.
	How did you come to those three things?
	Why were those the three things you put in the same category every time as well?
	I'm fine with the government giving wheelchairs to disabled people and stuff like that.
	I think you'd have to be a monster to be against it.
	It just seems heartless otherwise.
	But then saying, right, so the brown people are the same.
	Also women.
	People can't walk.
	And then women, yeah.
	Women?
	Disabled?
	Eh.
	It's all the same, isn't it?
	It's mad.
	I'm imagining a lobby group for, like, taking back the wheelchairs.
	I hope that even works.
	Adam says, people who unironically use the term white privilege are white supremacists without the clanhood.
	Yes.
	We can just call them extremists.
	Adria says, Godwin's law has come full circle, again, to being useful on online discourse.
	Now you can see in real time the process that Germany probably went through during the 30s.
	Yeah, and there's no problem about it.
	The attacks on German culture were definitely a major factor in the rise of Hitler.
	You don't end up with something like that without the culture being so severely debased prior.
	Have you ever looked into the Weimar Republic?
	Yeah, they started at school and also...
	Sidious.
	Have you ever looked at the art?
	I remember some of it.
	Deliberately anti-artistic.
	I remember a lot of the degeneracy as well.
	It was strange.
	It's about debasing German culture.
	It's really gross.
	But anyway...
	To be honest, my opinion had more to do with the Treaty of Versailles than that stuff.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Sure, but like...
	You need a kind of substratum, right, in order for this to exist.
	And so the average German can't feel comfortable and at home in the country that they're in for radical changes to occur.
	I'm saying that the Treaty of Versailles contributed to that.
	Oh, right, right.
	Because it gives you a sense of the fact that you're basically, your country is worthless, it's the worst thing ever.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.
	I mean, but the thing is, like, you know, if everything's going great and you can see this wholesome community around you and, you know, the media's just normal, you know, it's like promoting happy Bavarians drinking beer on TV or something...
	Then, you know, someone being like, oh, the Treaty of Versailles crippled Germany and every German is suffering, but they'd be like, well, I just don't really feel it, right?
	But if everything around you is degeneracy and attacking you on a sort of spiritual level, you know, the sort of like your deep sense of self and stuff like that, then I think that's a prerequisite to it.
	I think it's more complex.
	That's one factor.
	Yeah, okay.
	There are lots of factors, but I think that's an important one.
	I think people overlook how important that is.
	Anyway, moving on.
	Chris says, I think social terrorist is the right one, because that is what they're doing.
	They're trying to break down the structures of our societies, which is just what terrorists do.
	That's what they're after.
	You don't have to blow up a car in the middle of town.
	You can break into someone's house with hammers and smash up their place.
	Yeah, but if you can ruin family relations, then that also ruins someone's life as completely as if you'd blown up all their stuff.
	I'm trying to get the line of something extreme and then something less extreme.
	As in Sweden, I was referencing people went in with hammers and smashed up right-wingers.
	And then you get smaller and smaller.
	And it's like, well, these are all the same thing.
	Yes, they are.
	Callum says, as a fan of Starship Troopers who listened to the original material and watched all the adaptations of the franchise, I'm triggered at all this social scientist bull.
	No offense, Josh.
	He's on holiday at the moment, so I can trash social science as much as I want.
	Correct.
	But I think we're out of time there.
	Yeah.
	I mean, as a caveat, I mean, defund the woke police as a phrase I've used sometimes.
	Sure.
	Because it's aspects of policing that you want defunded, not the whole thing.
	Yeah, but that's the thing.
	It's not going to take police off the ground to prevent murders.
	No, it'll help with that situation.
	Yes, it will.
	Anyway.
	Also, have you seen the new Starship Troopers?
	RTS is out.
	Is it good?
	The demo's out, at least.
	I haven't seen it.
	Well, I haven't tried it.
	Okay.
	Sorry, a bit of a awkward transition there.
	But anyway, we're out of time.
	So if you want more from us, go to Logistics.com, subscribe to get access to all the proven content, and it also helps keep the show running.
	That's how we fund everything.
	But other than that, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
