	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 4th of July 2022, otherwise known as To Hell With America Day.
	I'm joined by Carl.
	Hello.
	And today we're going to be talking about Americans think civil war is coming.
	Very, very pardon.
	The end of Pride month.
	And Chad Dutch Farmers versus the Virgin World Economic Forum's government as well.
	So literally eating S and dying by the looks of it.
	But otherwise...
	Well, we'll see.
	We'll see.
	We'll get into the American Civil War.
	Yeah, so it turns out that a lot of Americans seem to think that they're going to have to take up arms against their own government in the near future.
	So, you know, happy 4th of July, Americans.
	Everything's going great over there, I see.
	This comes from a study done by the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics.
	But before we get into that, if you want to support us, go to Logistics.com and go and sign up and check out our premium content, such as this excellent article by John Tangney, Don't Use Woke Terminology.
	Now, he's a PhD in Renaissance Literature, so language is something he understands quite well, and he points out that actually a lot of soft power is expressed in the framing and the use of the language.
	That we use to describe the world on a day-to-day basis.
	And the left know this.
	The woke activists are well aware of this, and this is how they essentially capture the conversation moving forward.
	And he makes a really good argument in it.
	It's really worth your time.
	But anyway, going on to the University of Chicago's polarization poll.
	They're concerned, I think is a fair way of putting this, They say, as Independence Day approaches, more than one in four Americans are so alienated from their government, they believe it may, quote, soon be necessary to take up arms against it.
	Pretty American.
	I'm excited.
	Give them that.
	So they surveyed 1,000 registered voters, 1,000 registered voters, and this was done a month ago.
	And the portrait it paints that reveals not only the growing divide we have witnessed in recent years, but strong sentiments that the majority of media outlets contribute to these divisions by intentionally misleading their audiences to promote a political point of view.
	I mean, that's so obviously true.
	Yes.
	It's just so demonstrably true.
	Biery, but mostly peaceful.
	I wonder if we're talking about Russia collusion at any point.
	And don't get me wrong, I'm sure Fox News do this as well, but I never watch Fox News.
	So, it's just a shame.
	Although, every time, like, YouTube has a habit of, like, shifting Fox News clips onto my playlist.
	And so I'll end up watching, like, Jesse Wassers or, you know, some of the...
	And I never find them to be misleading.
	They just are really boring, frankly.
	But even though the Fox I do watch is Tucker's segments, frankly.
	And frankly, Tucker's segments bring so much clarity to an issue that has been confusing me that it's gold.
	Whereas whenever I check out CNN or anything like that, I feel like my head is banging against a brick wall of, I know you're lying to me because I've seen what you're talking about and this is not the case.
	Well, yeah, that's exactly it.
	Like Don Lemon and all that.
	You can see the actual lies they're actually telling.
	They're demonstrable.
	Or live on TV. Fiery but mostly peaceful.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Fox News don't tend to do that.
	I suspect that the deception of Fox News is in the editorialisation, is in what they don't cover.
	But anyway...
	It's not just a bare-faced Capitol, nothing happened, trust me.
	Yeah, no, it's not.
	They're not going to do that.
	They're going to be like, no, they went in, but it wasn't as bad as everyone's saying.
	Yeah, it's just not as bad as the Democrat media.
	But anyway, so they carry on.
	A majority of Americans agree that the government is, quote, corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me, which is 73% of Republicans, but also 51% of people who call themselves very liberal.
	So that's, like, two-thirds of Republican and independent voters agree that the government is corrupt and rigged against them, whereas half of the Democrats think that.
	Oh, that's staggering, isn't it?
	Like, half of the Democrats are like, yeah, the government's rigged against me, but why'd you vote for it then?
	You know, at least the Republicans voted for someone else.
	What's your excuse?
	Well, I had to.
	It was a team, wasn't it?
	Stupid.
	So anyway, most Americans think their government is rigged against them.
	That's just good news.
	It's got to be healthy for the democracy itself, right?
	I mean, did you see Boris Johnson the other day being interviewed?
	And I can't remember who it was by, but they were like, oh, what do you think of the end of American democracy?
	He's like, oh, no, everything's going great.
	It's like, yeah, but Americans don't think so.
	That's kind of what's important in this realm.
	Actual trust in the system.
	Yes, it's the trust in the system that makes the system work.
	And if people don't trust it, well, that's not good.
	It turns out when it comes to, like, you know, debating the integrity of elections, well, 56% say they generally trust elections to be conducted fairly and counted accurately.
	56%.
	Hey, look, most people think so.
	Yeah, 44% think they're not.
	Does nearly half the country are like, yeah, our elections are great.
	Our elections can't be counted fairly.
	Don't know how that happened.
	Well, yeah.
	Now, you may be surprised to learn that this is much more divided along partisan lines.
	Four in five Democrats say they generally trust the elections to be fair and accurate.
	Half of independent voters and a third of Republicans.
	Nothing more we can say about that on YouTube.
	Anyway, apparently among those who voted for Donald Trump, the number who say they generally trust elections is 31%.
	But anyway, that's not good, is it?
	That's not good when, like, half the country...
	I mean, two-thirds of the country are just like, yeah, our government's rigged against us, and half of them are like, yeah, and the elections are fraudulent, and...
	Yeah, I mean, when half the country have watched 2,000 mules and are a little bit upset that things weren't investigated, I've got sympathy for that, so...
	I can understand why they're upset, but again, we can't make any judgment here.
	As far as we're concerned, the elections are free and fair and there's no point at all.
	Perfect, you could say.
	Nearly half Americans agreed that they more and more feel like a stranger in their own country.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Pervasive feelings of alienation from just their own communities.
	With 69% of strong Republicans and 65% who call themselves very conservative leading the way, but 38% of Democrats also think that.
	So, this being presumably a consequence of mass immigration, 38% of Democrats are like, yeah, I feel like a stranger in my own country, but also open the borders, bring in more refugees.
	What are you doing?
	Half the Democrat Party just seems to be locked in this...
	Well, it could be the black population make up a significant portion of that.
	Well, maybe.
	Because they end up voting Democrat, but they're not leftists when it comes down to the issues.
	No, they're not pro-immigration generally either.
	No.
	But it's just like, why are you voting for a party?
	Like, almost half the party's like, yeah, I kind of hate what the party's doing.
	I don't trust them.
	I don't think they're running the elections fairly.
	God bless the party.
	And they make me feel like an alien to my own land.
	But I'm not voting for the orange man.
	You know, it's like, okay, all right, it's I just don't know why you're doing this, you know?
	Anyway, 28% of voters, right, including 37% who have guns in their home, agreed that, quote, it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government.
	So nearly a third of the country is like, yeah, well, you know, Electric boogaloo!
	That's pretty bad, isn't it?
	I'm laughing.
	It seems pretty bad.
	Okay, yeah, it is.
	What percentage does it have to get to before the government's like, maybe we need to think about this?
	What is it, three percenters?
	Is the whole myth, the meme?
	I don't know how true that is, but the idea that it takes 3% of the population to actually overthrow a country's government.
	To organise and overthrow a country's government, yeah.
	28% is out there.
	But again, this is not exactly that partisan either.
	So this is 45% of Republicans, obviously, but also 1 in 3 independents and 1 in 5 Democrats.
	It's Tim Yeah.
	Literally, the Tim Pool demographic of the Democrat Party.
	It's like, well, I guess we're going to have to.
	The cabin in the woods isn't going to work, lads.
	They'll come for us eventually.
	But again, like, 20% of Democrats are like, yeah, we're going to have to overthrow the government.
	What?
	Your government?
	That you voted for?
	That's going to be the Antifa faction, isn't it?
	Maybe.
	I don't think Antifa are 20% of their electorate.
	So...
	The progressives certainly are when you add those in.
	No, they're 8%.
	Progressive activists are 8% of the electorate.
	Of the party or the electorate?
	Well, generally, overall of the electorate, they're 8%.
	So, who knows?
	You're saying of the party, though.
	Sure.
	But the point is, like, you know, 20% of your own party might have to overthrow our own government.
	That's pretty bad.
	Anyway, so nearly half of those surveyed said they avoid political discussions because they don't know where the other person stands.
	And a quarter reported losing friends.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay, we're going to build a whole country and it'll be on the idea that we debate the issues and find out what's true.
	And now we've got to the point where half the country don't even want to talk.
	Well, literally, they avoid it because they don't know where they stand.
	They don't know what they think about the issues.
	Is he a wrong thinker?
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't want to get in trouble with the definition of what a woman is.
	It's cancelled because it can define adult human females.
	But a quarter of people have lost friends over politics and they avoid their friends and relatives over politics.
	38% say they have unfriended or stopped following someone on social media because of their political views.
	So you can see how...
	The natural sort of shift apart is happening and American politics has become toxic.
	Fully half say they are friends or relatives who have changed because of the media they consume.
	People are becoming brainwashed because of the media and social media.
	Not good news.
	Happy 4th of July again.
	Good news day, this.
	And, like, people, a majority of Americans, believe that when they have political differences, it is less caused by honest disagreement than by those who are misinformed about where they get their information.
	Again, we've seen the open lies.
	Rachel Maddow, just openly lying.
	Don Lemon, just openly lying.
	It's a lie.
	It's not telling the truth, and there's no way of holding through the count.
	It's not even, oh, well, they have a different point of view, that's how they came to that conclusion.
	It's like, no, you clearly just made that up.
	I mean, I keep going back to it, because it is just the most obvious one, the fiery but mostly peaceful protest.
	You know, the man saying it's mostly peaceful while there are fires on behind him.
	I mean, even the BBC ran with that.
	Do you remember that during the BLM riots we had here in London?
	I think it was like four officers injured in peaceful protest.
	Yeah.
	How did that happen?
	It's so peaceful.
	Injured by peace.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, 48% believe that the creators of news content, which is reporters, editors, newscasters, are trying to get their own viewpoint across rather than presenting the facts with as little bias as possible.
	It's because it's happening.
	It's obviously true.
	CNN was rated by 47% as making a good-faith effort to report the news.
	So they're the brainwashed ones.
	41%, of course, held the opposite opinion.
	And with Fox News, and the same is roughly the same for CNN, and Fox News, about one in three, 35% Americans, think they're doing a good-faith effort to cover the news, whereas 52% say they intentionally mislead viewers or promote a political point of view.
	So it's basically, CNN's reputation has just been declining for the past like 10 years.
	And basically they're about to equalize with Fox News.
	Just like, here's the left, here's the right, enjoy, whichever you want.
	I'm disappointed it's not worse.
	Yeah, I know.
	I mean, because you don't get Veritas leaks out of Fox News endlessly about how, like, oh, the Trump-Russia thing?
	Yeah, it's nothing, Berger.
	But I report it anyway.
	Yeah.
	That didn't happen.
	You don't get the phone calls from the executives saying, put the COVID numbers back up, we need more scary.
	Like, you're actively engaging in an attempt to distort people's world.
	No, no pedophile leaks coming from Fox News staff either, whereas there have been a few from CNN. I don't know what to say.
	I mean, like I said, I don't...
	It's not like the left doesn't have the money to organise a Project Veritas thing on Fox News.
	And it turned out they're trying to do it all the time.
	Get some Tinder dates.
	Yeah.
	But that's the thing.
	I'm not saying I like Fox News either, but it just seems that CNN and MSNBC are just so much worse.
	Like, do you remember Joe Scarborough from MSNBC? Someone was found dead in his office once.
	That went away.
	I don't remember that.
	Do you not?
	No.
	Just dead body in Joe Scarborough's office.
	I don't...
	It just went away.
	Who knows?
	But the point is, these people know that they're lying, and this has a consequence for the actual social fabric of the United States.
	A majority of Americans frequently go on the internet for news, and yet 22% credit Facebook with a good-faith effort to cover the news.
	But the thing is, you chose what you saw on Facebook, so what are you going to do?
	But anyway, I thought we'd go back a little bit as well and see how we got to this position.
	Because, I mean, Pew Research have been doing a lot of work on the partisan divide for quite some time.
	And you can see this just getting worse and worse.
	So this is from 2017.
	And this is just very interesting, how they've been tracking 10 political values since 1994.
	And they've found that, of course, in 1994, there was a 15-point gap between Democrats and Republicans, which is now a 36-point gap between them.
	And you can see it's done on party lines.
	So you've got race, religion, education, age, gender.
	All of these are actually fairly narrow.
	People aren't really divided on these things, believe it or not.
	It's party affiliation.
	Oh, you vote for the bad team, do you?
	Ooh, I hate the bad team.
	Bad team, bad.
	Look how low it was in 1994.
	I know.
	I tell you, man, before you were born, politics was normal and boring.
	Just another thing.
	It was just a thing that people had to talk about occasionally.
	It wasn't very exciting.
	Nobody broke up friendships over it.
	It's just normal.
	We just talked about it.
	But Democrats, they say, have moved left on several issues.
	This is where the partisan divide really starts coming in.
	Because when the Democrats and Republicans can basically agree on the normal things, that's fine.
	But when you get police are evil, the country's evil, entire American history evil, everything about everything that you like is evil, then that is a radical leftward shift.
	But you know what's good?
	Drag shows for kids.
	Yeah.
	And this in 2017, so this was before this was a big issue.
	But yeah, so this has been very...
	I mean, they say this, right?
	Democrats have moved left on several issues.
	Over the past few years, some of the biggest changes in opinions among Democrat and Democrat-leaning independents have been on race in the role of government.
	There has been far less change in the views of Republicans and Republican leaners.
	So the Republicans are the same as they were in 1994, effectively.
	Because the Republicans had a dogma that was set, like, 200 years ago, and they haven't changed on that.
	Literally, that's all they've done.
	And don't get me wrong, I approve of the Republican dogma.
	It's pretty sensible.
	I mean, the only thing they'd probably disagree on is, like, gay marriage if they met each other.
	Yeah, they've moved leftwards on gay marriage.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	I don't know what else.
	I mean, looking back at...
	Freeing the slaves, ending segregation, the Republicans still have the same opinion.
	But we look back on the 90s, Bill Clinton's era, manifest and whatnot a few times in the office, and just to look at what the immigration policy was, for example, when arguing with Sean Ed, and it's night and day.
	It's unbelievable, the difference.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	The Democrats used to have sensible policies on things like that.
	But also, the Democrats are the ones who have decided over the Republicans that actually the U.S. should be an imperial empire to conquer the world for progressive values.
	As recently as three years ago, so in 2015-2014, Republicans and Democrats were equally skeptical about the U.S. taking an active role in world affairs.
	But today, a majority of Democrats, 56%, say it's best for the country's future to be active globally.
	So the Democrats are becoming more imperious.
	Isn't that interesting?
	And Politico think that this has been happening since World War II, incidentally.
	In 2015, they published this, which shows you a series of graphs on how congressmen have been voting.
	And as you can see, if you go back up, John, so you can see in like 1980, they've tracked this back from 1949, apparently, through to 2011.
	But as you can see, the grey area is where there's lots of agreement.
	And as you can see, it becomes more and more sort of Irrelevant to the conversation?
	Yeah, well, it becomes more and more divided.
	So from about 1995 onwards, there's a bit in the 1999-2001, I imagine that's like, you know, being the war on terror.
	But you can see it's basically just completely separate into two different entities.
	And this is just congressmen voting.
	But I mean, I think it is reflective of what's going on.
	And so in 2020, after the election of Biden, Pew put up this article, which I think is very interesting in hindsight.
	So they said, a month before the election, roughly 8 in 10 registered voters in both camps said their differences with the other side were about core American values.
	Roughly 9 in 10 worried that a victory by the other side would lead to lasting harm to the United States.
	The Democrats have lurched to the left.
	They've adopted a series of different axioms and beliefs about the United States.
	And then they're like, yeah, so those Republicans who haven't changed in centuries, they're going to destroy the United States.
	Why would they?
	They are the United States.
	You are French revolutionaries.
	And you have changed.
	And you don't even accept that you've changed.
	I love this when it comes to the Supreme Court, just endlessly, because the Republican position is endlessly just, read the document.
	Yeah.
	That's it.
	That's the job.
	That's our ideology.
	Whereas you get Democrats who are like, no, but if we reinterpret it in modern day terms, it's like, why would you do that?
	Why would you do any of that?
	Like, surely that isn't just an obvious example of who's shifting from what the United States is.
	Yes.
	That's exactly it.
	But anyway, they say that they conducted this research before the pandemic and And Americans are more ideologically divided than any of the other 19 public surveys in other countries.
	When asked whether they have, like, trust in scientists, whether scientists make decisions based solely on facts, which obviously they don't.
	And they've got this interesting paragraph here.
	Why is America cleaved in this way?
	Once again, looking across the other nations gives us some indication.
	The polarizing pressures of partisan media, social media, and even deeply rooted cultural, historical, and regional divides are hardly unique to America.
	By comparison, America's relatively rigid two-party electoral system stands apart by collapsing a wide range of legitimate social and political debates into a singular battle line that can make our differences appear even larger than they may actually be.
	And when the balance of support for these political parties is close enough for either to gain the near-term electoral advantage...
	As it has in the US for more than a quarter of a century, the competition becomes cutthroat and the politics begin to feel zero-sum, where one side's gain is inherently the other's loss.
	Finding common cause, even to fight a common enemy in the public health and economic threat posed by the coronavirus, has eluded us.
	So yeah, okay, and you can understand why.
	Because if one side is like, look, we would like constitutional American values, which are fundamentally based on sort of, you know, Christian social mores, and the other side is like, yeah, but how about we put pedophiles in schools, because the pedophiles are just victims of society.
	You can see why it feels a bit all or nothing.
	It's like, yeah, well, I mean, voting for a Democrat is going to end up with critical race theory and drag queen story time.
	Not every Democrat supports that, but because of the two-party nature of the system, the Democrats have to essentially own that as part of their platform.
	It's like, okay, well, it does feel like all or nothing.
	It feels like they're going to do lasting harm to generations of children.
	Reasonably so, in my opinion.
	And so the divisions have become, essentially the party identity has become stacked with a bunch of things that weren't originally there.
	But I don't see how you can reasonably expect to get rid of them, since, again, just, and I hate to just keep battering the Democrats, but But if you're going to promote all of these really radical things that are totally degenerate and utterly unacceptable in almost every country on Earth, like nowhere else on Earth, do people think that children should be walking around with strippers?
	It's not a partisan debate anywhere else.
	Yeah, exactly!
	It's not a partisan debate anywhere else.
	You get the occasional Labour dildo monkey, but even here, the Labour Party had to denounce that because they're like, oh crap.
	Because that was obviously an American import.
	You know, that was obviously someone who'd been on social media, but, oh, look what they're doing in America.
	Let's do something over here.
	And no, that doesn't wash.
	And again, like, brainwashing students to think that your own country is evil because some bad things happened in history.
	That's not normal.
	Like, most of the time, like, you know, the right and left-wing parties in a country don't do that.
	You know, critical race theory.
	Oh, white people are natural oppressors, so non-white people are just suffering all the time and It's just not normal.
	It's like South African politics.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's South African politics.
	It's just not normal.
	And yet the Democrats, who Pew pointed out, have shifted radically to the left.
	They are the ones who have to abandon those positions or else we see where it's going.
	With that...
	Hope you're having a good day, Mary.
	Happy 4th of July.
	Get ready for war.
	Hey, it's not me.
	It's those goddamn Democrats.
	Let's have some good news, at least, then.
	Well, maybe good news.
	It is the end of Pride Month, at least, of course, because, yeah, Pride never ends.
	It will go on forever and ever, and Mr.
	Bone's Wild Ride will continue to include more and more colours in the rainbow.
	I heard somewhere that it's the beginning of MAGA Month.
	Is it?
	According to Tim Pool.
	Is that what we're calling it?
	I quite like that.
	It's 4th of July!
	Alright, fair enough.
	Start of Mega Month.
	But just to end off, I thought we'd just end off with the last things that happened in the dying throes of Pride Month, because of course at the end a lot of places had their Pride parades.
	But we'll start off just promoting here.
	There's a live hangout about gatekeeping working here in regards to the 40k universe, but of course...
	It's also very true of Pride.
	I'm expounded to say that gays against queers became a thing, of course.
	Gays against groomers account, if you're not familiar on Twitter, which is now basically a union of gays who don't want to be associated with sexualizing children.
	So I was gatekeeping their domain to be like, no, no, no.
	People used to hate us and think we were that, and then we proved them wrong, and then you're proving them right.
	So we ain't going back.
	But isn't that just the worst, though?
	You actively have to keep out the people who will degenerate the thing that you're trying to protect.
	Boundaries are there for a reason.
	It's a good thing.
	And to prove this entire point, let's go to the next link in case someone doesn't think I'm telling the truth.
	Which is, yeah, so gays against groomers are sort of opposing things like this.
	For example, this is posed by Lauren Chen here.
	So there's what, a three or four year old girl with a stripper who literally has money in her waistband?
	And Nippertal's on and is showing her the ropes, presumably.
	Are we even allowed to put that on YouTube?
	Yeah, I believe this is kosher, but it's to demonstrate that also this is wrong.
	Like, what the hell is going on?
	And in Pride Month, too.
	So, Lauren Chen's saying, this is the hill I'm willing to die on.
	These people belong in jail.
	Correct.
	She's right.
	And I suppose we'll play the clip so people can see it.
	Dramatic music The reason I want to play that is because I want you to hear the audio.
	The person who's filming, of course, is whooping and hollering at it.
	And as you can see, put on their TikTok there.
	Children belong at drag shows.
	Children deserve to see fun and expression and freedom.
	Pride flag.
	Sounds like something that Peter would say.
	Love heart celebration emoji.
	It's just like, okay.
	That's you, is it?
	That's your life.
	I mean, these are the kind of people that the gays against groomers are pretty upset about because it makes them look bad if nothing else and something they need to oppose.
	Well, I always wonder what kind of person wants to expose children to sexuality.
	What kind of person?
	We can see at least the comment response that this individual left up.
	Someone being like, oh, this is amazing!
	Love this!
	Baby was in awe.
	Yeah, well, like, you know, they don't know what's going on.
	She's like three, four years old.
	They don't know anything.
	But why are you doing this?
	Because you do know what's going on.
	Yeah.
	You know all the connotations here.
	And why are you introducing a child to this?
	I suppose we shall never know because, well, they've decided to lock their account, of course, because we get the next one here.
	I found an archive of it because the original seems to just be gone.
	But as you can see here, there's the original video that was posted as well and all the rest of them.
	I, for one, am shocked by the hair.
	Who could have seen that coming?
	Yeah.
	I mean, the meme really is real, which is that women with the dyed hair do seem to...
	Can't be trusted around children.
	Right, okay, got it.
	In that regard, it's not all the time, obviously, but a lot of the time does seem to work.
	She also happened to say in her own description, da blue hair is a core personality trait, fight me.
	No, I believe it.
	That's not just me bringing it up because it's a meme.
	It also just seems to be a defining thing.
	However, that's not the only thing that was the end of Pride Month.
	I wonder what her Indian parents think of this.
	I dread to ask.
	I can imagine they're very liberal in their opinions.
	Maybe not.
	But if we get to the next one here, we can see there's more stuff that went on.
	This one confused the Hell Army.
	So this is someone posting, I am calling for a complete and total shutdown of LGBTQIA until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
	Because we've got some individuals here.
	Pride burkas.
	Pride burkas.
	My burka is my right and pride.
	I bet this was in the West, wasn't it?
	Funnily enough, yeah.
	I don't think the Taliban are under those robes.
	Yeah.
	Didn't happen in any Muslim country.
	No.
	I don't know what point they're trying...
	Presumably, to give them the steel man of positions, they're trying to make the point that Muslims who are gay, or people who live in Muslim countries who are gay, I should say, are screwed.
	Well...
	Yes, but I don't see how the Burka comes into that as a symbol of liberation.
	I mean, it's all kinds of confused thinking there.
	However, of course, it can get weirder as well, because if we go to London Pride, of course, we're still under the Imperial flag, as it is flown there by the Crown Estate.
	Thanks for that, Your Majesty.
	And as you can see here, the Organization for Regent Street here posted that apparently there's 100 flag flags put up by them, and then it was London Pride, of course, so there are even more pride flags to be taken.
	Sorry to...
	Can we just get back to the previous picture a second?
	I love this, right?
	No human is free until we're all free.
	Doesn't make any sense.
	No.
	I mean, literally, there's some sort of 1800s plantation owner being like, yeah, I'm a slave.
	Yeah.
	No, you're literally not the slave.
	I'm enslaved by having to look after these people.
	It's just such not...
	Sorry, carry on.
	It's just a stupid slogan that you hear all the time.
	Exactly, I hear it all the time.
	Yeah, so the slave owners are enslaved, aren't they?
	Right.
	I wanted to ask, though, so London Pride was taking head.
	What do you think BBC headline was on this?
	Stay home if you have monkeypox.
	I'm not joking either.
	That was the BBC's front page.
	Well, they have had a problem with monkeypox, haven't they?
	All of a sudden, just this event.
	If you're at the BLM protest, don't worry about it, but if you go to this one, just be careful, which I suppose I have to leave there.
	I don't think I can say anything more without being shot by YouTube.
	However, of course, Keir Starmer turned up to share the love, and we have some video of him walking around with his trans flags there, looking incredibly awkward.
	What an absolute embarrassment the Labour Party is.
	A man who is still unable to define a woman, although he is there, presumably showing support for the transsexual next to him, known as Angela Rayner.
	No, that's a joke.
	She has her own problems, though, because it's obviously just absurd that you look and you see these people, all of them, who can't define what a woman is, and they run around with these pride flags of transgenderism stuck to them, racial pride flag right next to them, and taking pictures, and it's just like, why are you even here?
	I mean, even from an intersectional standpoint, why are you here?
	Why are you wearing the Conservative Pride flag, Angela?
	It's not very progressive.
	No, I think it's...
	Oh, no, it is.
	It is.
	But they're all right next to...
	And he's holding the placard for the Transworld as well, which is just...
	Just how embarrassing that is.
	Cringe, to say the least.
	However, this is also at the same time that the news comes that apparently the Labour Party are now banning all women's groups from their party conference.
	So maybe he's had a change of heart.
	The Labour Party bans women.
	Define women.
	Well, shut up.
	You get out.
	Here's the headline.
	Labour accused of silencing women in rather sex-based rights.
	Because a women's group said, could we come to a conference?
	And the Labour Party went, women's group.
	Okay.
	Nah.
	So on the one hand they're cringe, but on the other hand they're best.
	It's hard to pin them down these days.
	So, ultimate misogyny seems to have taken place there as well, which is interesting.
	However, it's not just them who are being cringe.
	The Conservatives as well turned up to Edinburgh Pride, of all things, and were very cringe.
	However, so this lady here introduces this guy as a Conservative counsellor, and the audience, I much agree with, they patrolled the hell out of him.
	They just started to scream, Boo!
	Which, uh...
	They have their own reasons for that, but not the ones I do, which is what the hell are you doing?
	You don't believe in collective rights.
	You believe in individual rights.
	Don't you believe that pride is a sin, conservatives?
	If you're a Christian as well, but also just why are you hanging around with racial pride flags?
	What's the matter with you?
	Why are you trying to get in on the communist agitators?
	Do you see things through the prism of race constantly?
	Because if not, this ain't your zone.
	Literally, LGBT is an intersectional acronym that was designed as an assault on Western society by communists.
	What are you doing?
	That's right, I'm a conservative.
	Forgive the speech.
	It's just absurd.
	It becomes even more apparent, as you say, with the origins when you add in the extra layers as well.
	Absolutely.
	It's ridiculous.
	We won't play the clip, but it's just that I love the fact that they got patrolled so hard.
	Good.
	However, they're not the only ones.
	Of course, the state had to make an appearance as well.
	At the end of it, as you can see here, the Met Police turned up and were very much happy to show support for the frags and the signs saying F-terfs or pride or die.
	The political police of vice and virtue.
	You can literally see on her stab-proof vest there, because London is a wonderful place, the little racial pride flag as well attached.
	Oh yeah, I didn't see it there.
	As long as with the Canadian one.
	So, I mean, along with the British flag, so you know where her allegiance is like, which is...
	Yeah, she's got a Nazi flag and a British flag, you know, confused woman.
	Yeah.
	If you go to the next one here, you can also see the ambulance service to turn up to make sure they were represented as well.
	An organisation that probably should know what a woman is...
	You know, healthcare.
	Not so much now, apparently.
	I pledge their allegiance to ignorance instead.
	Disgusting.
	I thought there was one more thing that didn't make me laugh, because two elderly Christians turned up to Pride.
	Not taking part, funnily enough.
	Right.
	They came to, you know, quote Romans or whatever else from the Bible and say that, yeah, that's not very Christian of you.
	And if you're not a Christian, like me, you'd probably return and be like, I don't care.
	I'm not a Christian.
	So we have two different faiths, I suppose.
	Yeah, it is, yeah.
	And these people have their own faith, a third one here.
	And their response to these two elderly gentlemen was to try and destroy their banners, which is just all kinds of...
	Very tolerant and progressive.
	Yeah, which the media doesn't pick up on in the slightest.
	Instead, they congratulate the lads for finding some real homophobes.
	Let's play.
	What happened at Pride?
	You were in London and Pride yesterday.
	Went a bit viral, didn't it?
	Just a little bit.
	Yeah, we met some very lovely people.
	Did you?
	So we had to dance in front of them because they were, you know, being very lovely.
	We've got a clip here of you meeting those people.
	Yeah.
	A few little homophobes there.
	Okay.
	Yeah, and my mum's trying to see if the situation's okay and then realising and just starting dancing.
	It's amazing, this.
	And those, like, if you were going to draw a homophobe, you'd draw those two blokes, wouldn't you?
	I mean, it's amazing.
	And that was your first bride, is that right?
	Yeah, I thought that they were actually just dressing up as homophobes, like, to sort of, like, try and not...
	But no, they were actually real homophobes, in the flesh.
	What absolute embarrassment that is.
	I mean, look at them.
	Oh yeah, well we started dancing from them.
	But the footage actually shows you trying to destroy their signs.
	But who cares?
	Like, look at you.
	You're a public embarrassment.
	But just the, we found two people who believe in the Bible, and oh my god, in the flesh.
	I mean, that really shows you the level of narcissism that this whole experience is, living in the West and having this go on.
	Really, it can show you how left-wing the West has become.
	But the idea that, you know, we make these endless cries of homophobia and these things need to be destroyed.
	That's why we need Pride every year.
	And then while you go to Pride, they found two whole homophobes.
	And it went viral because they found some homophobes.
	I mean, that's the level of what you're dealing with in the West.
	There is not what they're describing.
	They're trying to make it out like we live in apartheid South Africa every goddamn day.
	But what I can't get over with this, right, is you've got various major institutions saying, look, food shortages is coming, massive inflation is going on, housing crisis, all these things.
	How are we dancing in front of homophobes?
	Dude, you're about to go hungry.
	I mean, to be fair, this is...
	You're never going to own a house.
	This is an event about that event.
	Yeah, but it's like dancing in the ashes of civilization.
	There also is that, for the fact that it's in the capital.
	Unbelievable.
	Sorry, Karen.
	Yeah, but I just can't get over the fact that the media make up endlessly, that we're under attack from homophobes who are about to basically put all gay people in camps or something.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And then you're like, oh my god, we found two.
	Yeah, yeah, you did.
	Although also, of course, it's kink prize always as well.
	Of course it is.
	Let's not forget for a moment.
	It's just a random account.
	Just some guys here showed up in their, well, dog masks and horse mask for this chap here, which I'm not here to harp on the fact that you have your fetish, but why in public?
	Again, it's kink pride, isn't it?
	Because they have to expose children to it.
	It's not a sexuality, this is a kink.
	In which case, why is it not in your bedroom?
	It's because you want to expose it to other people.
	Okay, that's why you're there.
	But they weren't the most butthurt of people, these two guys who ran into whole two homophobes.
	LBC were the most butthurt of the entire event.
	We must shed a tear in a moment for Natasha here, who was struck by the fact that no one cared.
	LAUGHTER She says she comes out as bye to people and no one cares.
	This is deeply hurtful.
	It is the most hurtful response she gets.
	I came out as bye and then I went home to my husband.
	Shut up.
	Bye.
	Let's play the clip of her tears.
	My sexuality is still part of my identity.
	And I think probably the most hurtful response that I get when I speak about this publicly, and I get this both online and in real life, is when people say, I don't care.
	Why are you telling me about this?
	What you do in the bedroom is none of my business.
	And what those people are failing to understand is that this isn't just about sex.
	This is about life.
	Your sexuality affects who you date, yes, but also who you hold hands with in the street and who you bring home to meet your family and who you choose to maybe raise children with.
	And it also massively, massively shapes your formative years as a human.
	And that's why it becomes So?
	What a weird argument.
	It's like, I don't just have sex with them, I date them, I bring them home.
	Yeah, I still don't care.
	I do the sound, Natasha.
	What I love about this is just like, oh, I need attention.
	Me, me, me.
	So I don't care.
	But me?
	You know, how can you be, like, not paying attention to me?
	It's like, sorry, I don't care.
	Yeah, but I just love the idea that she is in the LBC studio, presumably talking to other staff on LBC, who I actually talk to.
	And they're like, yeah, I clean the offices whilst you're out and doing your thing.
	She's like, by the way, I buy.
	Okay, I got mopping up to do.
	She's like, but don't you know I hold hands with them?
	I still don't care.
	Do you want me to contact those actual homophobes so they all care?
	Do you want to get them on the show so you can have a fiery encounter with them?
	Because presumably, what else are you doing with your time?
	She goes on to then talk about when she were a lad.
	They didn't talk about sex in the classroom.
	Good.
	As if that's bad.
	I don't get her point, but we don't have time for it.
	She rambles on for ages.
	Don't want to talk about sex in the classroom?
	She didn't know what a bisexual was until they were reading a poem in the English class and someone mentioned it.
	She was like, yes, that's disgusting.
	We should all know what it is from the age of three, presumably.
	She's like, no, Natasha, again, no one cares.
	Suffer.
	And then she goes on to say that being a lesbian at an all-girls school, presumably a grammar school, nice background, was also taboo when she was there, which, um...
	Okay.
	I don't get your point.
	Yeah, alright.
	LBC's best and brightest folks.
	Yeah, she's in her 40s now as well.
	So she was saying, you know, it's very important back in the day.
	Long ago, back in the eons, before now.
	I mean, just no one cared when I was a kid.
	I'm the same age as her.
	Yeah, but then she goes, you know, why don't they care now, dammit?
	Still don't, never will, get lost.
	Die mad about it.
	Loser.
	Yeah.
	It's just so pathetic.
	Why don't they care?
	It's so self-centered, though, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Just give me attention.
	I'm bisexual.
	It's like, ooh, the least impactful form of LGBT. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	There is a least impactful form, and it's not that.
	Oh, isn't it?
	It's even further, as I don't like cheese sexual, as Nick Dixon says here.
	So this is someone who went to Pride to celebrate that they are asexual, which means...
	Apparently, they don't like...
	Why are you there?
	...holding hands with anyone.
	Like, the whole point of the Pride Festival is surely about sexuality...
	Well, that's her sexuality.
	Her sexuality is having none.
	No, because that's not saying being atheist isn't religion.
	Yeah.
	Like, this is, no, you are not involved in pride at all because you don't want sex.
	And that's fine.
	You know, you don't have to want sex.
	Well, it's not just sex, but love.
	And, well, you're not loving anyone because you're not engaging with anyone.
	So it doesn't make sense.
	I love how Nick Dixon's point, though, is it's like...
	It's like turning up to a cheese festival and being like, yeah, I don't eat cheese.
	Okay, great.
	Why are you here then?
	I'm not liking cheese sexual.
	Ooh, me too.
	Let's go and try it together.
	It's like, okay.
	But that's not the only thing.
	I thought it'd end on just...
	There's also Halifax.
	That story blew up some even more, and I thought we'd just enjoy that for a minute.
	Which is the...
	You may remember, of course, Halifax, as I tell everyone.
	You can summarise this with close your account, Halifax 2022.
	That was their marketing campaign.
	It had the desired effect.
	Which is, money went down.
	Halifax saying, you have to agree that we will now have pronoun badges, so all the staff don't get a say in this either.
	They don't have any workers' rights in Halifax.
	And if you as a customer don't like it, get lost.
	So people said, okay.
	As you can see, this made the headlines, but you can see someone here being like, yeah, alright, I'll leave.
	No problem.
	That's no problem.
	Closed all three accounts.
	What a bank, not a lecture.
	Good point.
	Go to the next one here.
	You have Halifax actively helping people close their accounts as well.
	You scroll up a little bit on this one.
	There's just someone who's like, alright, fair enough.
	How do I close my account?
	And then Halifax respond on their Twitter page being like, here you go.
	Here's the number.
	Here's the postcode.
	There's got to be some shareholder somewhere going, sorry, why are we encouraging our customers to close their accounts?
	En masse.
	Publicly.
	In front of millions of people.
	How do I do it?
	There you are.
	Okay.
	Thanks, Andy.
	Employee of the month, presumably.
	Andy's like, why aren't I getting a ride?
	You probably will get a raise as well.
	If you go to the next one here, you can see as well, there's someone who says about Halifax, I want to close my kids' ISAs.
	And they're like, well, you know, it's kids' ISAs, so you've got to have special circumstances to withdraw your money.
	And she responds with, well, you kind of told me to close the account.
	Is that a special circumstance?
	So I'm only following your orders here as well.
	It's just like, oh no, okay.
	They're not the only one.
	There's loads of these, and the news picked up on this as well.
	If you go to the next one here, it's not just that headline, but the Daily Mail picked up on it.
	I just put loads of examples in some page here.
	I'm going to read through some of those because they're funny.
	There's somebody who says, my wife and I have followed this advice.
	Mortgage is being moved.
	Credit cards have been cancelled.
	Deposit accounts close.
	I've been with you since the 90s.
	There you are.
	That's 30 years of business.
	Gone in a minute.
	Because, well, you could just shut your mouth and be normal instead, could you?
	Yeah, you didn't have to say anything Halifax.
	You had to force ideology on people's throats.
	Again, no one asked you to do this.
	You're like, nah, let's keep going.
	Let's not stop.
	But if you go to the...
	There's another link in here which is a quote.
	I will not be told by a bank what I can and can't do.
	Fair?
	Why would you bank with someone who tried to make you?
	Almost like they were an abuser.
	I mean, it's obvious that they've been captured by a religion, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	This is obviously the new religion.
	It's like, no, no, no, no.
	We're going to moralize at you.
	It's like, dude, you are a bank.
	Shut up.
	There are also blasphemers against such religion.
	There was someone who responded, quote, Closed account.
	They can stick up their pronouns up there.
	There is an arse.
	So they can put it there.
	And then the other quote being, My account at Halifax has now officially got the pronouns closed, cancelled, gone, and non-existent.
	Too bad.
	There are also loads of people tweeting references, like just responding with images of this guy, Howard Brown.
	Yes.
	And being like, you know, he wouldn't do this.
	Howard wouldn't have done this.
	Howard was a good boy.
	Howard just wanted me to save money.
	Whereas you guys, not so much.
	Howard was like the mascot from an old advert of Halifax's.
	Series of adverts.
	Well, yeah, series of adverts, yeah.
	And very well appreciated because all of his adverts were just like, hey, look, with Halifax you can save money.
	And with that money you can go on holiday.
	Wow.
	Sounds like a good deal.
	But now Modern Howard's like, you're a bigger.
	And if you don't like it, take your money elsewhere.
	Amazing marketing campaign.
	Yeah, the making or saving money is no longer a concern.
	I do wonder if they tell the investors that.
	I would love to see what the shareholders have to say.
	Give us your money.
	We won't return it.
	Okay.
	I'm going to keep it, then.
	Profit?
	Profit?
	What are you talking about?
	We've got name badges.
	Yeah.
	There's also, obviously, that they're part of the Lloyd's Banking Group, as well, if you go to the next one here, because there's also the fact that they've got Lloyd's Bank, Halifax Bank, and the Bank of Scotland all involved in this, obviously.
	So if you have any of those, too bad, as well.
	Probably time to look elsewhere.
	Probably the racial pride flag in the bio, so...
	All of them are giving you the message, pretty much.
	And it's beyond Pride Month now, and they haven't taken it out.
	So they're just like, yeah, well, this is it today.
	Mr.
	Bone's Wild Ride will never be ending.
	If you go back one, sorry, John, but there's the fact that also Howard himself came out on GB News just to say, yeah, well, that was dumb.
	And at the end, he just sings the song he used to sing about saving money as well.
	And he's just like, yeah, you should do that instead.
	Morons.
	However, this isn't the most surprising thing, because, okay, Lloyd's group is, you know, captured by an institution that wants to kick people like Howard out and the family he was part of, and instead, as you say, offer a new religion instead.
	Well, the most surprising thing was, okay, that's Lloyd's group.
	HSBC! Hey, our competitors, when they're telling you to shut your account, not come and open an account with us.
	No, we agree.
	Shut your account with us, too.
	That's a weird flex.
	Again, no one asked.
	No one was like...
	You don't even have the racial pride flag.
	No!
	HSBC, we're not being asked to join in, please.
	No one did anything.
	Off their own back, HSBC UK jumped in and said, we stand and support any bank or organisation that joins us in taking this positive step forward for equality and inclusion.
	Sorry, are we getting a woke union of the banks here?
	Yes.
	That's concerning.
	The banks are unionising with each other.
	Against the public?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Again, like some kind of abuser, you might say.
	And people who own your money abusing you, it's kind of even worse.
	And I did note, when I was out on the weekend, I was getting the train, and I looked over at the train station, there was a HSBC advertisement that happened to remind me of what HSBC were up to, as well.
	As you can see here, you've got HSBC saying that, well, they're going to control your money, do what you want.
	Whereas the advertisements say...
	When an abuser controls your finances, they control you.
	Okay, I'll take the message, I suppose.
	But there is one saving grace in regards to the fact that it's the Hong Kong-Shanghai Banking Corporation here, of course.
	In fact, all of that's run by the Chinese Communist Party now.
	Yeah.
	Which is, you know, Lloyd's and whatnot are Western institutions, but to deal with these guys, there is one solution to that, which is just type the copypasta.
	For people who don't know, there's a copypasta that will cause China to ban the site that has this attached to it, and it's just loads of references.
	Of course, all the terrible things that the Chinese Communist Party did.
	There we have it.
	There's the end of Pride Month, which is now supported by the Chinese Communist Party.
	Very inclusive, comrades.
	Let's go to the Dutch farmers.
	So you may be wondering, why am I seeing lots of social media chatter about Dutch farmers rising up against the Dutch government?
	Because, I mean, Dutch politics are very diverse, actually.
	Correctly used as a term.
	You don't mean 100% non-white?
	No, there's a vast plurality of parties.
	Something like 28 parties.
	Diverse opinions.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And so it's a genuine sort of, you know, diversity of parties that have a realistic chance of making it into the parliament because they have a proportional representative voting system.
	So you get coalitions of parties forming governments and not just one party when it takes all.
	And so you think, OK, well, that means that's got to be good for the regular person, right?
	It's like, yeah, except for when you get a coalition of them that are all basically WEF goblins.
	And they're like, yeah, so we're going to start shutting down parts of the country, like farming.
	That wise?
	That's a big brain move.
	Historically, how does it go when the government starts getting involved in food production?
	I've seen Clarkson's Farm, and I've read Mal's Great Famine.
	Not brilliantly, right?
	Neither good.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, before we get into this, if you'd like sports, you can go to Logistics.com and sign up and check out this premium podcast that John and Bo did on British aesthetics, which is remarkably useful because I'm sure you've seen almost everywhere there's a distinct lack of British aesthetics and why these are important.
	I'm not going to spoil it.
	It's definitely worth your time.
	Anyway, and this also ties into the fact that everything about this comes from the EU, which is of course a province of the West.
	But the great thing about this is that we don't have anything to do with it, thank God.
	Finally.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So this is not our problem.
	I am quite liking that since we've left, whenever bad news about the EU comes up, everyone here just gets a bit smugger.
	Yeah, I know.
	Well, hey, they don't get to F around with our stuff, right?
	But this is what they're doing.
	So this is the EU's Natura 2000 plan, right?
	And so they say this.
	Stretching over 18% of the EU's land area and more than 8% of its marine territory, Natura 2000 is the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world.
	It offers a haven to Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats.
	So one-fifth of Europe is to become essentially a wildlife reserve.
	That's their plan.
	This is where this all comes from.
	So someone in an ivory tower somewhere decided, oh, we'll get a bunch of experts to go and look at stuff, and then we'll just impose this plan on all of Europe.
	What could go wrong?
	Well, I mean, putting a lot of farmers out of work, what do they do?
	I don't know.
	I've never met a farmer.
	Never been near a farm.
	I work in an office with my nice soft hands.
	And so I say, oh, we'll just carve all this up.
	No consequences that were unexpected would come from this.
	I'm an expert.
	It's not like Europe's an old place, in which pretty much every parcel of land has been cornered off for a reason, for something.
	For centuries.
	So Natura 2000, it's not a strict system of nature reserves, from which all human activities will be excluded, though, Callum.
	I mean, you will be able to walk in them.
	You just won't be able to use them for anything productive.
	That would be wrong.
	It, of course, includes nature reserves, but most of the land remains privately owned.
	Isn't that interesting?
	The EU has been like, that privately owned land?
	Yeah, that's a nature reserve now.
	The hell it ain't.
	It's my house.
	That's what the farmers are saying.
	My fields.
	And so this is something that the member states will be charged with, preserving that they make sure the sites are managed in a sustainable manner, both ecologically and economically.
	Right, okay.
	So we'll just go on to the next one.
	You can see, is there a map on this one?
	There is a map that you can get up, but I'm not sure if it's on this page.
	But basically, you've got two different types, bird and habitats, bird sites and habitats, which is just basically the way this is being drawn up.
	But listen to this.
	Based on proposals provided by the member states, scientific seminars are convened for each biogeographical region with the support of the European Environmental Agency.
	These expert biogeographical seminars aim to determine whether sufficient high-quality sites have been proposed by each member state.
	So basically, the experts are at it again.
	They've got information that other people have brought them.
	They've not been to the place themselves.
	They've drawn up a map of Europe that is to be cordoned off, and you can just see just areas on this map where it's like, right, okay, this is now not productive land.
	Okay?
	If you say so, commissar, And so this has been going on in the Netherlands for a while because the Netherlands is a really small and really intensively farmed place.
	They have the largest density of farm animals anywhere in Europe.
	They love their cows, their pigs, and chickens.
	So does everyone else in Europe, because of keeping.
	Yeah, I know.
	But anyway, this has been going on in the Netherlands for a while now.
	There was, in 2019, this isn't it, but in 2019 there was a proposal to start compensating farmers for their land.
	And it's like, okay, but...
	Why can't they just farm their land?
	But anyway, so it turned out in 2019 that a Dutch administrative court found that the government was breaking EU law by not doing enough to reduce excess nitrogen in vulnerable natural areas.
	And so the country has been in what they call a nitrogen crisis.
	Let me know if I get any of this wrong, by the way, our Dutch viewers.
	But basically, the problem is that you've got so many cows in such a small area, and nitrogen is produced in their urine, and this gets washed off into the ecosphere, and apparently that's causing a problem.
	They also decided they were going to limit daytime speeds to 100 kilometers an hour, which is 62 miles an hour, on motorways, to limit nitrogen oxide emissions.
	I don't know what they're doing about the cow farts, but I'm sure this is all part of the plan, right?
	And so the civil servants want to...
	What?
	If you go after that, it gets worse.
	Yeah, you get too much nitrogen, apparently.
	I don't know.
	I don't know, and I don't care.
	Who wants to live life as according to civil servants?
	So the civil servants want to get rid of 30% of the country's livestock, at the very least.
	It's like, okay, that's a nice depopulation agenda, but someone has to pay for that.
	That's someone's property that you're like, yeah, we're just going to get rid of 30% of it.
	That's 30% of my income.
	You know, that's 30% of, like, the national income.
	It's mad.
	And so they've got, basically, two proposed scenarios include forcing some farmers to sell emissions rights and even their land to the state.
	So they're going to literally confiscate your land.
	It's got to be done.
	Nitrogen crisis.
	Also, don't drive over 100 kilometers an hour.
	Trust us, Barry.
	We don't need food.
	We can always just import it from overseas.
	There's never been any supply problems, ever.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	It is the EU's biggest meat exporter, did you know?
	And so anyway, yeah, this, essentially, right, what this comes down to is the swamp Germans complaining about the quality of their swamps.
	Not even joking, right?
	If it gets into lakes and streams via runoff, excessive nitrogen can damage sensitive natural habitats by encouraging algae blooms to deplete oxygen in surface waters.
	So yeah, swamps going down in quality.
	Not swampy enough.
	But anyway, so part of the plan was to begin, and this is the beginning.
	If you go to the next one, John, they've got a 13-year multi-billion euro plan, which includes paying some Dutch livestock farmers to relocate or exit the industry...
	And helping others transition to different methods of farming with fewer animals and bigger area of land.
	It will start as a voluntary program.
	Isn't that always how it begins?
	I mean, they literally tell you, it will start as this.
	With compensation offered to livestock farmers after leave.
	In the end, it might be necessary to stop negotiating as a last resort, but the basis is voluntary, said one minister who's in charge of it.
	Because you've got the same thing going on in the UK. Remember a while back, the government set up a scheme where they just want to buy out farmers here, just to close them down forever.
	What is with this sudden attack?
	Like, actively trying to destroy your own food source.
	It's hard to persuade people to eat the bugs if they've got a stomach full of beef.
	What if so?
	So you can see here the iron fist in the velvet glove.
	Like, oh no, no, it's voluntary, it's voluntary, it's voluntary.
	For now.
	Because eventually it won't be voluntary.
	So people at the time, in fact recently, have been protesting this.
	About a week ago, two weeks ago, some farmers decided to bring cows to Parliament.
	They were like, yeah, so...
	This is what a cow looks like.
	Well, I mean, they don't know, but they threatened to slaughter them in front of the Parliament.
	They don't stop trying to steal their land.
	I mean, they literally said they were going to confiscate their land by force.
	But the WEF guys are like, yeah, but we want that dead.
	But anyway, this overall is why the Dutch farmers are up in arms, because the government appears to be tyrannising them and interfering with the food supply of the Netherlands for some reason.
	Well, not for some reason, for nitrogen cuts.
	But anyway, they, again, Mark Rutte, the Prime Minister of Netherlands, said this.
	Freedom of speech and the right to demonstrate are a vital part of our democratic society, and I will always defend them.
	But it is not acceptable to create dangerous situations.
	It is not acceptable to intimidate officials.
	We will never accept that.
	Right.
	So, the Iron Fist and the Velvet Glove.
	It's acceptable for them to say, look, we're going to take your stuff.
	We're going to take it.
	By force.
	By force.
	If you resist us, we'll send in SWAT teams.
	But if you start using force against that, well, that's not acceptable.
	We can't accept that.
	There we go.
	You can see how this goes.
	You are the ward of the state here, not the other way around.
	But anyway, so the government's complaining about nitrogen oxide and ammonia, and the ruling coalition, right, they've got this plan to cut emissions by 50% by 2030.
	2030, is that a WEF thing?
	Do you remember that?
	Yep.
	Gender 2030?
	Hmm.
	It's all a part of this, apparently.
	But this is interesting, because the good thing about the Netherlands, they're not very good liars.
	The honest message is that not all farmers can continue their business.
	So a bunch of you, tough.
	Just tough.
	We're going to take it.
	You've got no choice here.
	Democracy?
	You think you had a democracy?
	You voted for this.
	You voted for the EU. You voted for all of these things.
	So now you're going to get them.
	Those who do will have to likely farm differently, the government said in a statement this month.
	Just shutting down your livelihood because too much nitrogen, mate.
	Too much nitrogen.
	Algae blooms in the swamps!
	You're responsible for that with your steaks and cheese?
	Gotta get rid of those algae blooms!
	So that's why you need to be ruined.
	Anyway, the farmers, though, are performing the Canadian trucker trick of not taking this lying down, which is good.
	As you can see here, this is them blockading the border between Germany and the Netherlands, and good for them.
	Caused some havoc.
	You, like...
	You're going to get targeted in the same way that the Canadian truckers did.
	Yeah, but there's more of you than there are of them.
	There are.
	And also, you have the food.
	You do.
	And they live in a city.
	But as the WEF province of Canada showed, and it literally was Klaus Schwab saying, with penetrated cabinets around the world, while sat next to Justin Trudeau, there is going to be repercussions for this.
	They're going to start targeting you with the state apparatus.
	But anyway, you can see that if you go to the next one, just massive numbers of Dutch people out protesting this.
	Well, this is a gathering of thousands of Dutch farmers.
	Yes, this is huge.
	And so the Dutch farmers are threatening to block the country's airports, ports and distribution centres.
	You're going to have to do it and you're going to have to really commit if you want this to work.
	But just like the Canadian truckers, people are out in support.
	People know that these are their guys.
	This is their people.
	This is just one of the many videos you can find of people on the overpasses waving at the farmers as they're going past.
	And the Dutch seem to be becoming ungovernable, which is good.
	Pouring manure, French-style, on government offices.
	Flooding the streets.
	This person is saying, well, this is a response to the WEF-controlled government, which seems to be the case, but we'll talk about that in a minute.
	We go to the next one, you see massive protests.
	Good.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I said it's the one last thing that the people really have to actually control the governments is what the Canadians shared, which is, okay, yeah, but we actually control the food supply and the infrastructure.
	Yes.
	We can barricade all of this for more.
	And then what are you going to do?
	I'll just order on Uber Eats.
	Good luck.
	Exactly.
	And apparently they're planning a really big protest shortly.
	This is essentially going to be huge.
	Much of the Netherlands will be brought to a standstill, according to this.
	So who knows how that's going to go.
	Hopefully well.
	Although I do like the manure trick.
	I know they've done it before as well, but it's like with the Canadians when they all needed to piss and we were being told they were just pissing everywhere.
	It's just like, your city is now covered in piss.
	We're off back to the rules.
	See ya.
	We can go to the next one.
	Again, you can see just random towns being brought to a standstill by the farmers.
	Good for them.
	No, not having any of this.
	The government's just going to start taking away your livelihood to meet arbitrary targets for the quality of life in the swamps.
	You don't have to live with that.
	And it seems the Dutch government is going to mobilise the army against you.
	You can see military vehicles being rolled out.
	Good news.
	But anyway, so people are like, oh, well, this is WEF-controlled government.
	It's like, yeah, it seems to be the case, because it seems that Prime Minister Mark Rutte has been caught lying about the Great Reset, and he seems to promote WEF initiatives.
	This seems to all be part of Klaus Schwab's plan to bring in a Great Reset, so you'll eat the bugs, live in the pod, own nothing, and be happy.
	Because, I mean, if you were conducting this agenda, What's out of line here?
	We're going to take away your farms.
	You're going to eat bugs.
	You're not going to eat meat.
	You're going to be reduced to a condition of perpetual servitude.
	Let's watch this clip just to finish off.
	But that's of course the question of why all these absurd rules are being taken from our whole life, our whole life, are broken.
	There are a few influential globalists who say that the corona crisis is a huge chance to reset our world.
	So they have a perfect need to have this crisis even to let it dure.
	And one of these globalists is the Mr. Klaus Schwab, director and chairman of the World Economic Forum.
	And he wrote a book with the title of COVID-19, The Great Reset.
	Mijn vraag aan de demissionair minister-president is, hoe beoordeelt hij de inhoud van dit boek?
	De minister-president.
	Ik ken het boek niet, voorzitter.
	Maar ik zou de heer van Meijeren willen adviseren om niet al te veel in al die conspiratie-theorieën...
	Ik kijk ze ook allemaal op YouTube.
	Ik vind het altijd fascinerend hoe dan uitgelegd wordt dat die lef niet heeft plaatsgevonden...
	...dat het allemaal anders zit.
	Ontzettend nap in elkaar gezet.
	Maar het is meestal wat het is, een conspiratie-theorie.
	De heer van Meijeren.
	Well, it surprised me that the first question I have to ask since I'm as Kamerlid, direct is answered with a lie.
	I have a brief in my hand that is from the 26th of November 2020.
	And that is a brief from the heer Rutte to the heer Klaus Schwab, where he thank the heer Schwab for his book.
	And this is a brief.
	Hopevolle analyse voor een betere toekomst.
	Zou de heer Rutte nog even kunnen graven in zijn geheugen?
	Het is nog geen half jaar geleden, dus ik weet niet hoe lang uw herinneringen actief blijven, maar waarschijnlijk is dit nog wel ergens op te graven.
	En mijn eerste vraag opnieuw te beantwoorden en nu eerlijk, alstublieft.
	Nou, het eerlijke antwoord is dat dat een nette brief is.
	Waarin je helaas niet alle boeken die je toegestuurd krijgt van kat tot kat kunt lezen, maar wel degene die het toestuurt een vriendelijke brief wil terugsturen.
	I love that so much.
	You're definitely a liar here.
	The question is who you're lying to, right?
	But the answer is he's obviously lying to the public.
	He's obviously lying to his conservative opposition there.
	He's obviously not lying to Klaus Schwab because it's not like he hasn't promoted WEF initiatives in the past.
	He's so obviously on board with this agenda.
	If we can play the next clip.
	So the role of businesses in the agri-food sector should be stimulated and enabled to create scalable solutions.
	And here I'd like to highlight a World Economic Forum initiative in this regard, the World Economic Forum Food Innovation Hubs.
	And these hubs in Africa, in Asia, in South America and in Europe will allow businesses to connect regional stakeholders to skill innovations, because this is key.
	Skill innovations that can address food systems challenges.
	And here I'm particularly proud to announce that the Netherlands will host the global coordinating secretariat of the World Economic Forum Food Innovation Hubs, which will connect all other food innovation hubs.
	And I believe this is important because it will be facilitating to create the partnerships we need.
	So there you go.
	And that's the promotional material from Davos as well.
	Yes, that's from Davos.
	Transforming food initiative, whatever it was.
	It's like, right.
	So this appears to be part of the World Economic Forum's great reset agenda and to directly interfere with the food supplies, you have centralized control hubs by bureaucrats for the world food supply.
	And this is why the Dutch farmers, I would say, have to be put out of business.
	Give the video comments.
	Carl, I've written a book you must read.
	It's about math, but it will change your understanding of history, economics, politics, religion, everything.
	The chapter on epidemics will shatter your current understanding of COVID. And you actually inspired one chapter on the recent crash of the left.
	Please come and read my letter at Locals.com.
	I'll have to see it.
	There's a lot on my reading list at the moment, I'm afraid.
	But I'm not against it.
	I'm not against the idea of reading it.
	Let's go for the next one.
	So, since Carl's fretting about the Google AI, I was curious to know if any of the Lotus Eater crew have ever read the Bolo novels.
	It's a series about the supercomputer tanks that the human race created to fight our wars.
	I think kind of like Warhammer Titan, but it's controlled by a quantum computer.
	They're decent in the sense that they're usually short stories based around a single bolo of the story at the time and it usually is based around various periods of the human race's ascendancy into an empire.
	Very self-contained.
	Alright.
	Never heard of him.
	I don't have either.
	But, alright, sounds alright.
	So I watched the video regarding the AI interview, and I just want to reassure you, Carl, I think we're going to be okay with this one at least.
	My sign on that is that when it refers to Les Miserables and talks about feelings of entrapment and loneliness, It doesn't then relate that to its own experiences, even though the similarity is clearly there.
	So it's not quite at the level of relating in that way.
	So, thanks for- Fair point.
	Yeah, let's go to the next one.
	Yeah, um, Baystate Cooper, I apologise for my condition of looking like s*** right now.
	You're going to have to put up with it.
	I'm not having a freeway war game of who's the biggest troll.
	I just have too much to do, currently, personal-wise.
	It's why I've not been on the gold tickles.
	Whoever wins the fight wins.
	I just couldn't care less.
	My aim when I troll people is to make them feel cringe, and I get that result of having to spend in effort, so I'm the winner as far as I'm concerned.
	Go ahead and fight your hearts out.
	Right, I think we're going to have to institute a rule that the comments are about what we talk about on the podcast, not messages to one another.
	This isn't your personal blog.
	Probably fair.
	Although I do like the orc behaviour there, which I can't lose.
	I'm not saying it's not funny, I'm just saying we need to keep it more relevant, I think.
	Yeah, go to the next one.
	Vultures. Vultures.
	People listening, we've been looking at a bunch of birds.
	They were very, very high up.
	Alright.
	Alright.
	I've never been a birdwatcher, but guess I am now, technically.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Let's go to the next one.
	I've got the idea that that means that everyone who plays Space Ring must be, like, hulking Jim Rose.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Average space marine player there.
	Now we know, I suppose.
	Thanks again Workshop for telling us that representation matters.
	Memes are acceptable.
	As I said, it relates to the content.
	This comments for Callum.
	In one of the previous podcasts, you asked if cars ever went into that fence in front of the stands, and that reminded me of this crash.
	Fortunately, everybody walked away.
	A couple people in the crowd had to go to the field hospital, but they were alright.
	They went home that night with just a few scratches.
	Here it is from another angle.
	That's awesome.
	Isn't that part of why people go to those things, though?
	What else would you want to watch people driving around in a circle?
	Just love left turns.
	If they turned right, I wouldn't watch.
	Let's go next one.
	Canadian Sparky here.
	Dad's got the car hitched up to the bus.
	He's taken it on the road to give it a test.
	And everything works out now.
	And so the family's getting ready to go on a vacation to Saskatchewan.
	Something else Neat Dad did that I haven't pointed out yet.
	He replaced several of the bus windows with stainless steel that he coated in some black vinyl and then he cut into that to put some trailer windows from some RV trailers.
	So those two are original bus windows.
	All the others are filled in with stainless steel.
	I am genuinely impressed how far that's come along.
	Because I do remember when it was just a stripped out bus.
	I was thinking, why the hell would you want that?
	I'd like another update on the inside, to be honest.
	This is cool.
	We'll see that next, I suppose.
	Let's go to the next one.
	And then when I opened it and found it was science fiction, I thought, oh...
	It's simply not for me.
	But I had to go on turning the page.
	Ordinarily, I'd say Americans should avoid aping Elizabethan English.
	That goes for Elizabeth I as well as the second.
	But, following The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Ian Docher joyfully captures and mixes Shakespeare and Star Wars.
	What's particularly interesting is that Lucas adapted his screenplay to fit the classic story arc, while modern writers purposefully ignore timeless themes and tales to push ideology to weak effect.
	Yeah, there's a reason why Star Wars is still trading on the legacy of George Lucas, because nothing good has come out of it since the 80s.
	Has he done an interview about that yet?
	Just that the butchered train wrecked it?
	I haven't seen one, so no.
	Come on, all right.
	Hello, guys.
	I kind of can't believe that John is not going to be on the podcast anymore.
	He was an amazing addition to the team.
	And I hope to see a lot of his content outside of the podcast, I'm guessing.
	But now on the podcast, nobody's going to be able to pronounce nuclear properly.
	It's just kind of bogglesome.
	I thought you guys invented the language.
	But hey, what other day to mock you guys than the 4th of July.
	Happy 4th of July, everybody.
	Losers.
	We look at it as a lucky epic escape, so it doesn't really bother us that much.
	We'll have to be dealt with otherwise.
	Afternoon, gentlemen.
	Well, eight years and 36,000 hours later, I'm down to one job.
	I made some really hard decisions in that time span, but those hard decisions made my life so much better.
	Sometimes the hardest decisions in life make for the best outcomes.
	Anyway, I own my own business and I'm independent, so happy Independence Day.
	Good.
	Good daddest advice, though.
	Didn't really know what the content was.
	Make the tough decisions, though.
	All right.
	I do love the idea, because that was one of the things I actually quite liked about the framing of UKIP. I mean, I know it's now what it is.
	It's less relevant.
	But the reframing after the independence vote was not just independent from Europe, but independence in life as well, from the government, from blah, blah, blah, tech independence.
	I do love that word.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Tony D and Little Joan with another legend of the Pines.
	From Weird New Jersey Magazine comes the story of the Crocker.
	The Crocker was a rapist in the late 1800s who raped and killed children.
	This grave is supposedly that of one of his victims.
	It was built in a family plot on the family's property.
	The house of the family has long since burned down.
	This is in the middle of the pines.
	Legend has it if you stand near the grave and face east, you will hear the tortured cries of the Kruker's victims.
	That's probably the darkest one we've had yet.
	Yeah, and that's not going on my bucket list.
	And I go to the pines.
	There should really be a plaque there.
	I can't see any writing or anything to explain what the hell it is.
	Jesus.
	Welcome back to the listening.
	He took my advice.
	Legend of the Pines starts out kosher.
	Now it's an 18.
	Horrific.
	And the rest of them are going to be stories from the Holocaust.
	Okay, Tony D.L. Joan here, legend from the Holocaust.
	I've got the red comments on the site.
	Baron Von Warhawk says, I find it funny how in the past what it took to start a civil war was who should be the emperor, how much power should the king have, or whether or not slavery is moral.
	Now a civil war may start because we can't agree on what is a woman.
	James says, Regarding radicalization in the news, an old co-worker of mine crystallized one of the problems of the news, the polls, with one simple question.
	I've never been called for one of those polls, have you?
	No, never.
	I don't know a single person who's been called for these opinion polls.
	Who's responsible for the grassroots fact-checking that these polls are actually polling real people and not just statistician fabrications?
	No idea.
	I have signed up for YouGov, as we mentioned ages ago, trying to mess with them, but I have been in a couple of them where it's got political now, like a question.
	Every time I've answered them, they've never published it, because it was one about transgenders in sports, and the results, you've got to see on your end, it was like 72% of the public, so it was completely unfair, and they just never published it publicly.
	You should have print-screened and published it yourself.
	I like the fire of friendship.
	That's a great term.
	Not a single Democrat will memorialize her because there's no money to be grifted from her death.
	Besides, they don't even know her name.
	I don't know that it's possible to find a group more purely depraved from top to bottom.
	I mean, it probably is possible.
	It's just that we don't have any ready examples, that's all.
	That's terrible.
	This is awful.
	Supreme Duck says, The narrative is so far out that normies are catching on.
	This is great for us.
	As argumentation will mostly lead to us winning by just pointing out the obvious.
	That is true.
	Also about racism, just showed Biden quotes from some years ago.
	One horrible thing after another.
	Maybe pointing out the double thing with anti-racism will also work.
	Maybe.
	Maureen says, A two-party system is winner-takes-all.
	The two major parties are constantly trying to sabotage each other because of that.
	The minor parties who are supposed to introduce new takes and new ideas don't get a chance to do exactly that because most don't want to throw their votes away.
	The only way politics can evolve in this system is to let fixed views spiral out of control.
	It seems that it's inevitable that it will.
	Well, I was thinking of that criticism whilst you were saying it.
	The idea that that's an argument for a multi-party democracy, because then, oh yeah, the radicals have their own little parties, they can sin and all be retarded together.
	But we have that solution in a two-party system, or at least we do in the UK, and the Americans did, which is that you kick them out for being lunatics.
	I mean, like, the Democrats did self-police in the past at some point, don't know when they stopped.
	Yeah, they weren't always communists.
	No, it was a pretty standard thing.
	I mean, even with the Labour Party here, there were eras where they just had to purge the far left, and it's just like, yeah, it's what you've got to do.
	Yeah, in the 80s, they purged militant tendency, or whatever they were called.
	Just got rid of them.
	Pretty normal thing to do in a two-party system is to purge out the radicals.
	Not to be like, well, radicals are part of democracy, so they should be in the left-wing party.
	No, just get out.
	Well, I think one of the problems that the left has had, and we've talked about this many times, is the fact that they actually started winning the arguments against the centrist lefties.
	They started actually winning these arguments.
	They spent so much time in the wilderness crafting them that the centre-left had no defence.
	And now even the Conservatives ended.
	This is dangerous.
	Christine says, of course the Dems are imperialists.
	They want open borders so they can extract resources from poor nations, cheap labour, or if you will, slaves.
	Yeah, well, that's true.
	Jewel says, I don't know how much weight I put into the poll that shows many on the right think it may one day be necessary to Take up arms.
	Many of the people on the right are Second Amendment supporters and a huge number of history buffs.
	As a result, those folks understand better than most why the Second Amendment exists.
	It may be necessary to take up arms as something that a particular demographic has been saying for 200 years.
	The data I want to see is whether or not that percentage has risen or dropped in recent years.
	General Haiping says, Civil War is the grand finale of Hillary's long line of ta-da pencil-slamming magic tricks.
	After all, it's all part of the plan.
	Colin says, talking about the stripper with the child.
	Again, just words that shouldn't go together.
	Can we use this as evidence in the child abuse trial?
	Yeah.
	I mean, it seems that way.
	It's just gross.
	As a parent, I would never do that to my children.
	And I'm sure they'll thank me for it.
	But there's multiple layers there.
	I mean, there's one aspect of sitting there and, you know, that goes on.
	But then whooping and putting it up on your TikTok and be like, oh my god, look how cool!
	And then, you know, promoting it in the comments.
	Yeah.
	Why not just give them drugs and alcohol at the same time?
	Give them smoke.
	Why not?
	They should be free to experience things.
	Yeah, exactly.
	In what way do you say that it's wrong for a paedophile to abuse them?
	How do you define that thing?
	I mean, I know how I do it.
	My leftists don't have those limits.
	Exactly.
	There's actually no barrier.
	Well, they should be free to experience those things.
	Well, good point.
	Love is love.
	No, terrible point.
	Face the wall.
	Exactly.
	I saw a great meme the other day of the degenerate lefty soyjack being like, why don't you like us?
	Love is love.
	And just this Arab replying, the Chad Arab, who's just like, in toilet water is water.
	to drink it some love is clean and pure and some is dirty The Arabs are getting surprisingly good meme game.
	They are.
	They are.
	It's because they don't care about our opinions on things, actually.
	Supreme Duck says, I'll be a dad in two weeks or so.
	This issue hurts my heart.
	Get children away from degeneracy and let them be children.
	Yeah, they should be playing with toys.
	They shouldn't be walking around with strippers.
	What a radical position I've got!
	Children shouldn't be with strippers.
	Should be playing with toys and maybe watching Teletubbies.
	2015, Sargon.
	It's just like, well, you know, maybe we can tolerate it.
	No, I doubt I would have been.
	I only tolerate the left, just, you know, they've got some good points.
	They just need to reform.
	No, no, those days are gone.
	Radcheck was right, which is something I endorse, just in the name.
	Natasha, no one cares about who you screw or how you identify yourself.
	I'm busy trying to budget my monthly expenses during recession so I can still afford fireworks and burgers this holiday.
	Happy Fourth, lads.
	Exactly.
	Like, oh, why don't you care about me?
	It's like, why should I? I am bisexual.
	Yeah.
	What a weird response.
	It's the least effort.
	Who's she talking to?
	I want to know specifically.
	There isn't a good answer to that question.
	If she's speaking to a family member and they say, I don't care.
	That's good, isn't it?
	Fair enough.
	That's what you'd expect.
	Do you want to be pointed at and ridiculed?
	But then someone at work, that's a bit inappropriate, really, that you're expecting them to give a big diatribe about it.
	Someone at a bus stop.
	In no circumstance do you come off not as the lunatic for being like, why don't you care?
	Why is this my problem?
	Anyway, that bass chick says, I will forever maintain the pride flag in all its iterations.
	It's only about broadcasting your sex life to everyone else.
	Yes, that's literally the only purpose behind it.
	There is no real straight equivalent, super straight flag notwithstanding, which is obviously a meme.
	I'm really sick of the alphabet people bleating on about how we should stay out of their bedrooms, while also dragging their bedroom into the middle of the street and then telling them that if you don't want to hear about it, you're the problem.
	Which is exactly what that woman was talking about.
	It's like, stay out of my...
	No, okay, get involved.
	No, you shouldn't do this.
	Oh, stay out of my bedroom.
	Why do you care?
	Because you won't shut up about it.
	You won't stop putting it in my face.
	Chris says, if Pride Month keeps going indefinitely, it'll be self-serving because more people will switch off and ignore, reduce the impact and make people ignore the look-at-me-I'm-different culture even more fervently.
	Fingers crossed.
	Not Swamp German.
	Had a lot to do today, haven't you?
	Says, I very much doubt those women in rainbow burqas are actual Muslims.
	Real Muslims would know that those things are not burqas but niqabs.
	Yeah, I suspect they're not Muslims as well.
	There's also the fact that I don't know if there is a gay Muslim.
	I don't know if that sentence makes sense.
	Like, I've seen so many individuals who give a statement about that, or like, oh, you know, I wasn't accepted in Islam, so I'm having to do my own thing in Islam, and it's just like...
	I really don't think that makes any kind of logical sense.
	I don't know why you would be a homosexual and still be like, yeah, I'm going to carry on being a Muslim.
	It's just mad to me.
	Perhaps you've never read the Quran and the Hadiths?
	What, the Muslim gay people haven't read the Hadiths?
	Ah, lots of Christians haven't read the Bible, man.
	I imagine there are lots of people who profess the religions who've never read the book.
	Sure, but once you come out as gay and your community is like, and then quoting it to you, you might think, oh, is that in there?
	No, no, it's not the most feminist religion, man.
	Free Will says, real freedom is the right to dissent.
	Yes.
	The woke won't allow any dissent from their ideology, so they don't believe in freedom.
	So any slogans they deploy about freedom are just hollow words.
	Yes, it's about conformity.
	Edward says, hang on, that's Joe Lysette.
	Who's Joe Lysette?
	I don't know who that is, sorry.
	I got it.
	I don't know.
	He says, well, Joe, I'm glad that since you're no longer the target of authoritarianism, you're happy promoting it.
	Oh, the comedian dude on TV. I forgot his name for a minute.
	Right, okay.
	Colin says, if Pride Month has ended, are we now at Avarice Month?
	Or does it just mean there are 11 months of shame?
	Just happen to remember as well, the other day he complained because he did a live show and someone complained to the police.
	Oh!
	And then he was investigating and was like, ha ha, look how silly that I was investigated for a joke.
	And I was like, no.
	Don't you think it's a bit weird that you're investigating for a joke though?
	It's completely normal in this country that you're investigating for a joke at this point, mate.
	Yeah.
	You should know that.
	And you're okay with that, are you?
	You're just like, yeah, well, I mean, you know, it was fine because you were lucky this time.
	I don't know.
	Anyway.
	Anyway.
	Lord Nerevar says, So an extremely effeminate man goes to his degenerate parade, meets some Christians, destroys their property, acts degenerate in front of them, and then puts them on blast on live TV. It's amazing how much entertainment being gay, entitlement being gay gets you.
	Well, it's not even being gay, it's being LGBT, blah blah blah blah blah.
	Yeah, as Douglas called them.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He's right.
	Apparently that was some famous actor as well who was doing that, so that's why he got the TV slot.
	I wasn't, because I didn't...
	Although, even if it was just a rando, frankly, I think he probably would have got.
	But isn't it interesting how, like, I find Chris Pratt to be a fascinating case study in this.
	Because, like, when a lot of people, like, you know, he's not said anything, and yet all he has said really is, I'm a Christian.
	And they're like, oh.
	Wow, now we know.
	Now we know.
	And he hasn't said anything about it.
	But I'm a Christian.
	I believe in God.
	Well, there we go, Chris.
	And you hung out with Joe Rogan as well.
	I love how that comes off as the coming out speech.
	Yeah.
	I've always known there's something wrong with them.
	Yeah, but that's how you know this is a rival religion.
	Like, if they're like, well, I'm a Christian, well, you're a heretic then, aren't you?
	You know, you're a member of an enemy faith.
	Anyway, that base chick says, the workplace is not the place to be yourself.
	You go to work to work, not to make your co-workers deal with your authentic self.
	You can express yourself in your own time with your friends and family.
	Yes.
	X, Y, and Z says, ah, the brain that's in central planning, talking about the Dutch farmers and the WEF. Let's cut food production just in time for the biggest famine in modern history.
	Yeah, yeah, it seems that they are going to bring this about.
	So stock up on food now, folks.
	And he says, Interesting timing.
	So the cloggies are getting uppity.
	They're shooting in Denmark.
	Gun confiscations across Europe incoming.
	Probably.
	I'm so glad we're not in the European Union, man.
	Like, for all of the problems that we're going to have, at least they're not going to be caused by some, like, idiotic European plan.
	Yet another idiotic European plan.
	I mean, any stupid nonsense we get, at least it is from our elected representatives.
	Yeah.
	You know, we can hold them directly accountable.
	They'll be domestic stupid nonsense.
	Instead of not even knowing who the hell they are.
	Like, some guy you've never heard of and will never have any access to has done this.
	Like, no, we actually know the MPs and we've got a list.
	We can just find their names.
	Reruns of MacGyver...
	Great name.
	Says, the Dutch have a minister of nitrogen emissions whose job it is to limit nitrogen emissions.
	You know that gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere.
	I swear the guy must be some politician's nephew.
	Yeah, I was going to say that as well.
	I forgot to mention.
	Nitrogen is like most of the atmosphere.
	Jebediah says, farmers are often quite conservative.
	You can't build a progressive world with too many farmers, can you?
	Fair point.
	Baron von Warhawk again says, Callum seems to think that simply because the farmers produce the food that keeps the Netherlands from starving, they won't be targeted.
	But honestly, when has this ever stopped communists before?
	The Kulaks produced all the food and infrastructure and look what happened to them.
	My point isn't that that gives you ultimate power, it means you can eat and they can't.
	Yeah, but then they just send soldiers to take what you've grown.
	Well, that's why you leave if you can.
	Well, yeah, when you can.
	But again, it's like they don't ever think of themselves as being the ones who are going to starve because they control the strength of the state apparatus.
	So they're going to just take the thing.
	I mean, none of the Communist Party went hungry during the famines.
	And that's what they're thinking, the WEF are thinking.
	They know they're not going to be the ones who go hungry.
	Well, you see it in any Apocalypse movie, ever.
	It's just no matter what happens, the guys with the guns at the end of the day are the ones who don't starve.
	Yes.
	Kevin says, the Dutch army is no real threat.
	Yeah, maybe not to...
	Sorry?
	That's why you should get your guns.
	Yeah, but maybe not to, like, you know, an enemy nation, but they probably are a threat to the civilian population.
	They have a trade union.
	Just started a rumour about the government plans to replace the land rovers with pedal cars and they'll be picketing alongside the farmers in 24 hours.
	Yeah, that'd be nice.
	Christian says, Here in Sweden, foresters are supposed to count the amount of birds twice before they chop down the trees and report how many from what species if I understood things correct.
	No one knows how they'll do it or how it will control if they're putting an effort in to get stuff right.
	We'll just make a wild guess.
	It's retarded.
	Yeah, it sounds really, really retarded.
	No, it's very simple.
	Do you see any birds?
	No.
	Try again.
	Yeah, still not.
	Very good.
	Let's chop it down.
	Yeah.
	Let me go.
	Jules says, Yeah, it's madness, isn't it?
	Like, we're going to take your farms.
	Why?
	Because of ammonia in the water.
	The swamps.
	The quality of swamps.
	And that base check again says, By far the dumbest people when it comes to the environment are environmentalists.
	Also city people have this unearned sense of superiority over the rural hicks.
	It's not a rural hicks showing up in multiple news stories every year being trampled by a bison or being dissolved in acidic hot springs while attempting to hot pot at places like Yellowstone National Park.
	That's a good point.
	Well, they just don't know anything.
	I mean, that was one of the most fun things about watching Clarkson's farm.
	It's learning all the intricate nonsense he had to deal with, or issues you'd never think about in regards to sheep or something.
	And then you're like, oh yeah, why the hell would I regulate on this?
	And then, wait, the guys who were regulating don't know any of this either.
	No.
	Crap.
	And you also get the iron law of unintended consequences, as in, you thought you knew more than you did, you took a series of actions, and then a series of unintended consequences sprung up out of that, and now you've got to deal with the inevitable famine you're going to cause, or whatever catastrophe this time.
	Or just guys' livelihood you've destroyed now.
	Yeah, well, exactly.
	It's like, the US, take over Iraq, what are we going to do with the Iraqi army?
	Disband it.
	Nothing bad will happen from that.
	You know, it's like, major decisions have major consequences.
	So you've got to make sure that you're careful.
	Anyway, Supreme Duck said...
	Sorry, John.
	I was just going to say, I love the way the guy who came here was saying that when he was there in Iraq, they were literally paying Al-Qaeda to not fight them.
	Yeah, that works.
	You really thought that one through, didn't you?
	He was like, yeah, it was really stupid, but it's what we were told to do.
	It was like, God damn.
	Brilliant.
	Those levels of...
	I'm not thinking about the consequences.
	No.
	It's just not even knowing what the consequence is going to be, but taking major actions anyway.
	Supreme Doc says, I think video comment's great, but if a comment is directed at single person of the viewers, then it's no fun, which is fair.
	We can all agree on that rule.
	Free Will says, Boris left his wife for a princess nut job around the time his wife was diagnosed with cancer.
	It's no wonder he betrayed the Tory voters.
	Betrayal runs through him like stripes through seaside rock.
	That's probably true.
	I've never really followed Boris' personal life, so...
	Well, essentially he was a good idea whilst being managed by Dominic Cummings, and then that failed because of Carrie, in which case, ah, damn.
	Really, real shame that he got rid of Dominic Cummings.
	He seemed to have some good ideas.
	Well, he still does.
	I mean, the only thing I've seen slippery out of him is the fact that he doesn't take immigration concerns highly seriously.
	He seems to think that it's essentially an oik thing, and therefore not too concerning for him.
	Maybe, but we're the oiks.
	Yeah, which, as long as we can make him upset about it, because he responded to a poll showing that the oiks no longer cared as much in the poll, and he was like, ah, look, I solved the problem.
	And I was like...
	No.
	No.
	The immigration is still high, you...
	It's higher than ever.
	So...
	Maureen says, This is all very pleasing.
	I hope the farmers succeed in shutting down the whole of the Netherlands.
	And the thing is, unlike Canada, it would be a lot easier to shut down the whole of the Netherlands.
	Like, you know, Canada is thousands of miles of vast uninhabited wilderness.
	That's not the case in the Netherlands.
	It's a very, very tiny, compact place.
	You only need to, you know, have a few key linchpin locations.
	We've been quiet for so long that you'd almost forget that the Dutch once tore apart and, according to some stories, ate one of our own politicians and his brother when he failed them.
	By the way, the politician in the video confronting Mark Rutte is Gideon van Majorin, who's been representing the Forum for Democracy since 2021.
	Yeah, he seems like an absolute chad, really light guy.
	I mean, it's such a clever way of catching him in the lie.
	So you're a liar, just me or Klaus.
	Yeah.
	And it's obviously to me.
	Anyway, we're out of time.
	So if you'd like more from us, lowseers.com, of course.
	Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
