	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for a day of the week.
	I'm joined by Leo.
	Hello!
	And Harry.
	Hello!
	It's no longer Wednesday, my dudes.
	Yeah, so I couldn't use that one.
	It's Thursday.
	Is there anything for that?
	Not yet.
	It's Monday, Friday, Wednesday.
	Happy days!
	Happy days?
	Oh.
	God dammit!
	And tomorrow being Friday, everyone knows you've got to get down on Friday.
	Alright.
	But Thursday's kind of just not important.
	Yeah.
	I'm just going to have buttons from now on, I'm just going to press.
	You're going to get a soundboard?
	Yeah.
	Or buttons to mute us?
	No, I've got sick of introducing the day, so I'm just going to get a soundboard from now on.
	Anyway, so before we do that though, today we are going to be talking about the terrible responses to the Israeli war.
	It's been a funny year for Australia, and I might be sick, which is going to be a gross one, I'll be honest lads.
	We'll be talking about big bugs.
	Have you got bedbugs?
	No, not yet.
	I'm on guard.
	He's actually just got AIDS.
	Which is more treatable.
	It's no big deal these days.
	I had bedbugs.
	It was horrific.
	Well, in the segment I'll tell you about it.
	It was the worst thing and to get rid of them was just impossible.
	Is that in London as well?
	Edgeware Road.
	Edgeware Road.
	Yeah.
	So I was in a block of flats.
	It was full of, like, a lot of people who fly between the Middle East, a lot of short-term lets.
	Because at least it's if you're a house, you can burn your whole house down, but you can't burn the whole building.
	I can't burn everybody else's house down.
	But if they've got bed bugs, they might thank you.
	But we'll begin with a couple of announcements.
	The first one being that after this, we end at what, 1.30?
	No, we don't.
	No, we end at 2.30.
	2.30, half an hour after we finish, so go and get yourself some tea after we do this, and then come and join us for the British City Tier List, in which we'll be ranking things from, I presume, S to F tier.
	The tear is more provocatively labelled than that, but I didn't make it, so...
	Okay, well, we'll be looking forward to that, so do come and join us.
	It will be from best to worst, really.
	Yeah, I believe that's us and some other people.
	Carl and Josh.
	Yeah, there we are.
	There you are.
	There we go.
	And also, tomorrow, I believe there's one more announcement I have to give, which is there's a Hangout Cyberpunk Dystopia Part 7.
	This is where Carl tortures me because apparently I deserve that for some reason.
	And that'll be at three o'clock as well.
	So after you enjoy the podcast with us again, we can sit around and cry and Ask Carl to stop.
	Right, before we shall begin with the podcast I suppose.
	Yes.
	Oh is it me first?
	Oh yes, so it's me first.
	So basically I'm doing the worst takes from the invasion of Israel, the war in Israel, the Hamas attacks in Israel.
	Let me just pull this up.
	I'm sure there'll be lots of celebrities giving very sensible and nuanced takes.
	They've read up on the subject, they've picked a side because of all the decent reasons and not because Not because it's the thing that you're supposed to do.
	Well yeah you'd think so but Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber has got a lot of flack for this.
	Basically he posted a thing saying praying for Israel but that's a picture of Gaza.
	Maybe he knew that and he's praying for Israel to destroy Gaza.
	That's, man, that is the thing.
	This could just be an absolute top level tier Zionist troll.
	This is, maybe Justin Bieber is just playing 4D chess with all of us.
	And he's, yeah, he's saying, he's saying like, listen, listen, Gaza, Gaza is part of the, part of Israel.
	And that's, that's where he said Israel.
	Or maybe it's just thick.
	Maybe it's just thick and he used a photo of Gaza instead.
	I wondered where you were going with this.
	Like I thought it was going to be people being like, you know, I love murder or something.
	But that that is just genuine stupidity on a level that's brilliant.
	Well, the thing is, that's that's like somebody else's post.
	You can see because it's got the little thing in the corner where it shows that he's just copied it off somebody else.
	So this is a mass consumption and he's just shared it not knowing what he's talking about.
	And you can be guaranteed thousands and thousands of other retards will have done the exact same thing.
	Yeah, there's been some funny memes mocking the social media responses.
	I saw one that was like, you know, what TikTok dance you should do to show support for Hamas.
	And it's, you know, it's not far away from the truth, you know, from what people are really like.
	I hope there's a council on for the TikTok dances for the IDF as well.
	Yeah, there's bound to be.
	Truly, I wish to hear from those who are NPC TikTokers and see what emojis they're adding to stand with either side, you know.
	You know, beheading so good.
	I don't know.
	That was too gross.
	I don't know why I did that.
	Just joke.
	And if we move on to the next one, we do have a celebrity saying some nasty things.
	To be clear to anyone who thinks we're being crass or anything real quick though, I mean this is what we're dealing with though when it comes to the celebrity views on anything.
	It's always something so blunt.
	Like, not useful to the conversation whatsoever, and kind of just a pain in the ass.
	And with that, let's go to Mia Khalifa.
	Because of the cultural position these people occupy, that people put them on a pedestal and you're like, oh, these people must know what they're talking about.
	No, more often than not, these people are more stupid than your average normie on the street.
	These people have some kind of brain worm that they get infected with to be able to get the success that they have done.
	Yeah, well Mia Khalifa managed to actually be less classy when she was talking about the invasion of Israel than when she was getting paid to suck strangers' cocks.
	So she made a series of posts praising, basically praising Hamas, you know, calling them like resistance fighters.
	If we scroll down we can see... Wouldn't they kill her?
	Oh dude 100% she'd be beheaded for her lifestyle.
	She'd be beheaded.
	Like she has spoken about this in interviews that she still gets death threats for that scene she did in a hijab.
	Yeah I was gonna say she's most famous for doing the hijab scene and they want to kill her for that.
	So whatever.
	That doesn't work.
	I can't sit here and be like I don't watch porn.
	That's not gonna work.
	One of her tweets said, this is one of the first ones, and this was right when it kicked off.
	So at this point, Israel hadn't, you know, hadn't bombed, dropped any bombs in Gaza or anything.
	She said, if you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you're on the wrong side of apartheid, and history will show that in time.
	Just crazy stuff.
	And she also, like, she tweeted a whole bunch of posts.
	One of them was about telling, requesting Hamas Hamas terrorists to film in horizontal instead of portrait.
	I thought that was a meme, is that real?
	I mean, that's... Guys, you need to stop being such boomers.
	I didn't know she said that.
	Jesus Christ.
	I thought that was a piss take.
	No, that was a real... that was a real... If you're gonna kill babies, at least... Yeah, well, I'm gonna see the footage in horizontal.
	It'll look better on my TV.
	So she's been... she's been fired by Playboy.
	Actually, I saw... I saw a funny... a funny joke.
	So she's a victim of cancel culture.
	I saw a funny...
	I saw a funny joke about Mia Khalifa.
	It was talking about how she's such a devout Muslim, she often has her face covered by other men.
	That's good.
	Heyo!
	The next one is something that will definitely be described as a war crime by The Guardian.
	So this is somebody trying to burn an Israeli flag.
	We'll just watch this, see how it works out for them.
	He's got the fire going.
	Massive Israeli flag there.
	All his friends around with COVID masks for some reason.
	He's covered in molten plastic that's on fire.
	He's napalmed himself.
	I should explain to YouTube before we get censored.
	He's still alive.
	So no one was actually harmed in the making of this video.
	No one was harmed.
	And if they were, it was just made to look like a pram.
	Yeah, it was completely self-harm.
	Self-owning.
	Yeah, it's crazy the amount of, I couldn't believe the amount of people who came out just on the, I mean, because you think, especially when it just happened, before there'd been any attacks on Gaza, you'd be like, well, this is pretty obvious, obviously brutal and horrific.
	You know, you can't, there's no justification for like, you know, killing children, burning teenagers at a music festival, burning innocent civilians.
	But yeah, Black Lives Matter.
	Various chapters of Black Lives Matter came out in support.
	This is BLM Chicago.
	And they said, I stand with Palestine.
	But no, they've got the parachute thing.
	That's a reference to the Hamas fighters who flew into Israel, flew into that music festival on these motorized paraglider things.
	It's like a big parachute with a big fan on the back.
	I think they're sponsored by Wiley Coyote or something.
	I know it's insensitive, but it really does remind me of that SpongeBob episode.
	Yeah with Patrick, you know, parachuting down to the Krusty Krab.
	Yeah, and it's like they filmed, Hamas have filmed these like glossy, slick ISIS style videos where, you know, they're like, this is our air force.
	And it's like, mate, you've got like fucking parachutes with fans in the back, a fan you got from, you know, Wilco or whatever.
	From the Acne Company.
	Yeah, this isn't, you're not, that is not an F-16.
	But also, that's the thing I don't get.
	And you remember like that Ukraine thing that everyone was interested in a couple of days ago.
	And all the war crimes that came out of Ukraine that everyone was horrified by.
	It's amazing how civilized the Ukrainian war looks by comparison to what Hamas did.
	I mean, like, they're just turning up and just, I'm going to glorify killing civilians.
	Like, most people try and deny war crimes or are kind of embarrassed or just don't say anything.
	You guys, you guys put them on your front page.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, Russia has committed some horrific war crimes.
	Obviously, a lot of them are done at a distance.
	They're using cruise missiles and stuff to blow up, you know, hospitals, civilian blocks and stuff.
	Collateral damage or something you're embarrassed about or you discipline people.
	Yeah, I mean, Russia's deliberately targeted civilians, but I mean, I guess the difference is Hamas are super proud of it and, like, deliberately do it and film it and then present the footage to the world being like, look at this thing that we did.
	Look how we beheaded this Thai immigrant who's working in Israel.
	And then BLM are like, Wow, that's our guys.
	Yeah, BLM are like, this is decolonization!
	And like, all these woke words that, you know, the woke left are using all this stuff, decolonization, systemic oppression, to justify absolute barbarism against civilians.
	Because that's what they want to do against people like us when they talk about decolonization.
	They see this and they go, see this is what we've meant the whole time.
	You guys have just been reading into it.
	BLM would ideally want Native Americans to rise up and start executing children at a kindergarten in Ohio.
	You can see the Twitter posts.
	Yeah, you can see the Twitter post being like, you know, finally.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	This is where the decolonization process has started.
	I mean, remember that, obviously, this is the big thing in the news cycle right now.
	This is the big thing that everybody is talking about.
	But earlier on this year, March, whatever it was, there was the shooting in the Christian school done by a trans-identified shooter.
	He supposedly wrote a manifesto about it that never got released to the public.
	The media has hushed it up and they don't report on it anymore.
	Nobody talks about it anymore.
	That was, as far as I'm concerned, a domestic terrorist attack within the US.
	Nowhere near as big a stink made about it as something that, as far as I'm concerned, is an ethnic conflict going on between two groups that I don't identify with halfway across the world.
	It's uh that's that's just my my piece on that.
	Yeah yeah no that that trans shooting was uh it's nuts because straight away a lot of people came out a lot of celebs a lot of leftists came out and were like oh don't forget the real victims here uh the victims of transphobia from the backlash and it's like what about the actual victims what about the kids that are still bleeding out?
	It's the normal Donald joke what if a muslim set off a 50 uh bomb that killed 50 million innocent people imagine the backlash against the innocent muslims That's what it is, because they support this kind of action.
	They want you dead.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And if we move on, so BLM Grassroots said, It's nothing like a prison.
	stands in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting 57 years of settler colonialism and apartheid.
	As black people continue the fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Palestine as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world's largest open-air prison.
	It's nothing like a prison.
	It's actually got quite a bit of space compared to, you know, everyone's, it's the most overcrowded place in the world.
	It's not.
	As a radical black organization grounded in abolitionist ideas, we see clear parallels between black and Palestinian people.
	My favorite abolitionist idea being kill them all.
	Yeah.
	So in the last 24 hours, we saw a bunch of guys kill a bunch of Israeli civilians and we stand, you know, we kind of see a bit of ourselves in them.
	Yeah.
	Most of ourselves, actually.
	Yeah, and these are the sorts of people that stand by those who are saying that after the American Civil War, the biggest problem with Reconstruction is we just didn't murder all of the Southerners that were left alive.
	That's the attitude they take.
	To be fair, we should actually probably take some joy in this because we were saying for ages that Black Lives Matter are not for black lives, they're these friggin lunatics.
	They just hate white people.
	And now we just have them saying, yeah, we would kill you if we could.
	They're openly saying it.
	But I mean, people are so indoctrinated these days.
	They'll still be like, no, yeah, no, we deserve it.
	Here's some more money.
	Here's some more money so you can buy another mansion.
	They continue, we too understand what it means to be surveilled, dehumanized, property seized, family separated, or people criminalized and slaughtered with impunity, locked up in droves.
	And when we resist, they call us terrorists.
	We too.
	Well, I kill babies as well!
	When we drive through Christmas parades and set off bombs and burn down cities, they call us terrorists!
	Oh, you're being called terrorists!
	I mean, sure, that's the real crime that's going on.
	Hamas are being called terrorists.
	So that's the world they've got planned for us.
	And also UK, the British branch of BLM, said solidarity, and this is still up there, they haven't taken this down, solidarity with those resisting Israeli war crimes and military occupation.
	We see free Palestine and support the practical solidarity of PAL action.
	So they kill us too, right?
	Yeah, basically.
	We've got a much smaller black population and they weren't brought here as slaves.
	They literally abolished slavery globally but the thanks we get is killed.
	British blood was spilled abolishing slavery.
	British money was... And a lot of money was spent.
	A lot of money, yeah.
	2015 I think is when we finished paying all of that off.
	Yeah, yeah it's nuts.
	So obviously there's been a bit of a backlash to Black Lives Matter because of these These posts, which didn't go down too well.
	So there's this guy, for example, David Weissman.
	So it shows what he was posting a couple of years ago.
	I will never stop saying Black Lives Matter.
	And I may even get a shirt myself.
	Scroll on a couple of years and he's saying, fuck them.
	Maybe the right was right about Black Lives Matter.
	Hey, guess what?
	We're right about everything.
	What do you mean they don't, you know, like pick and choose between which white people they hate?
	They just hate all of them.
	Damn.
	And if we move on to the next one, so his lefty mates are replying to him.
	He says, David, oh my God, please stop with this.
	People on the right, or who used to be on the right, seem to want to jump to the worst case scenario about BLM.
	It's like they're literally, BLM are literally cheering on Hamas.
	They're literally cheering on people like killing civilians and children and just people having a party at a music festival.
	And it's not Glastonbury, so it's bad.
	It's, you know, this is, I just don't know how anybody could look at BLM and be like, oh no, they're still great.
	Why are you criticising them?
	Clearly the right are trying to mislead us by showing us BLM's quotes.
	Yeah.
	It's like libs of TikTok, sharing all of those videos the leftists put out themselves.
	This is terrorism!
	And another, this is in the UK, so Bella Wallersteiner, she says, just about a month ago, she said, we have a Hindu Prime Minister, a Muslim Mayor of London, a Buddhist Home Secretary and a Muslim First Minister of Scotland.
	Britain's multicultural society is remarkable and we should celebrate it, Suella Braverman.
	A couple of weeks later, having seen One of the cultures come out waving Palestinian flags, cheering the terrorist atrocities in Israel and the First Minister of Scotland, maybe?
	She said, I've left as it didn't feel safe.
	She was obviously at a protest.
	I tried speaking to a few protesters, making the point that it was totally inappropriate to hold a demonstration of this kind after a heinous terrorist attack.
	As you can imagine, I didn't get very far.
	I'd advise people avoid the area.
	It's like there's a no-go zone as a result.
	You joke about, you know, the First Minister of Scotland maybe being in that process.
	He did confirm that he has family in Gaza right now, didn't he?
	Yeah.
	And he was on the phone to them.
	His main concern seemed to be his international roaming fees.
	I saw a great AI image that Kundli Drukpa put out of, you know, him on one side and on the other side there was just a pale white ginger Scotsman killed in the middle of a... by being bombed in Gaza going, Ach!
	Can he believe it?
	I don't know if there's any conflict in the Muslim world and the camera just pans to Britain and just going, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
	It's like, oh, boy.
	But, yeah, also the IDF, you know, people are saying, oh, Israel is just indiscriminately bombing Gaza.
	And I've no doubt they're obviously hitting, you know, a lot of civilians are getting caught in the bombing.
	Because, I mean, Israel apparently didn't even know this attack was coming.
	So, you know, how they're doing precise strikes on just military outposts in the Gaza Strip, baffles me because they didn't have the intelligence to even know this was happening.
	But they do give warnings.
	They say, vacate this area of the Gaza Strip.
	You know, they're a bit like the IRA phoning up a pub before.
	Well, they send a small bomb beforehand, which means get out.
	Right.
	So you bomb the roof with something that's not going to kill anyone, which is leave, please.
	Right.
	And then like 10 minutes later, the big bomb comes.
	Right.
	Sorry.
	So there's a little bit of warning.
	But yeah, obviously, I mean, there's, you know, the deaths in Gaza are horrific.
	I mean, unless they're... Unless they're combatants.
	Unless they're combatants, then it's good.
	Then it's war.
	Moving on, the Football Association says it's not going to light the Wembley arch with the colours of the Israel flag.
	So they did do this with Ukraine.
	Oh no, how is Israel going to survive now, guys?
	The war is lost.
	I think it's a symbol of solidarity.
	Their excuse is quite interesting because they say the quiet part out loud.
	It says, the Football Association is unlikely to light the Wembley arch and the colours of the Israel flag because of fears of a backlash from some communities.
	Some communities, eh?
	The Israelis.
	So it's interesting to see our institutions cowering before these some communities.
	There we are.
	And you know, do you want to guess what the largest ethnic group in Wembley is?
	Irish.
	No?
	Icelandic.
	Bangladesh.
	Ah, right.
	So, Islamic there.
	I never would have guessed.
	There we are.
	And how much is a proportion of the population?
	About a third.
	Oh, that's in 2001.
	It's been 20 years.
	So about 99?
	Yeah, about 99%.
	Right.
	Something like that.
	Nuts.
	Because this is the thing, we're seeing pretty rapid demographic change.
	We're seeing a lot of immigration from Muslim countries.
	But it would never have an impact, we were told.
	No, a positive impact.
	The impact was only ever going to be a good thing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You know, foreigners, they don't have opinions on international politics.
	They just like cooking food for us.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We just get the spicy food and any, any sort of strange ideas or, or, you know, any historical grudges get left behind and everybody starts a new life.
	And you certainly don't see any, any fighting between those communities once they're in the UK.
	Navara Media.
	So Navara Media is like Lotus Eaters for wankers.
	That's fair.
	It's a good way of describing it.
	They've got a subscription service and it's really sort of hard left The guy who runs it, Aaron Bastani, he's always seemed like a nice, open guy, but some of the journalists are just like Rivka Brown.
	I don't get Navarro, because Aaron does seem like a decent guy, but he hires insane people.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And you've got to judge people on their actions as much as, you know, how they come across.
	And yeah, Rivka Brown, and this is, there's other people, Michael Walker who works for Navarra has tweeted some just horrific, and the thing is like, man, right after, right after the invasion, we're still seeing the, you know, in real time people are getting killed in Israel, and they're tweeting this horrific stuff about, you know, this is decolonization, people rising up and breaking free and blah blah blah, and it's not, it's just, man, it's just horrible.
	I'm talking about civilians.
	Yeah, horrible Islamic militants, terrorists funded by Iran just callously and calculatedly and unnecessarily killing civilians and it was totally counterproductive to the, you know, the best, what's best for the people of Gaza and it's really just to do, they're hired mercenaries, they're hired by Iran, they're getting money from other parts of the Muslim world.
	But yeah, Rivka Brown said today, And this is the day it started.
	She said, Today should be a day of celebration for supporters of democracy and human rights worldwide as Gazans break out of their open air prison and Hamas fighters cross into their colonizers territory.
	The struggle for freedom is rarely bloodless and we shouldn't apologize for it.
	Now she says it's a great day for democracy and human rights.
	Guess what the only genuinely free and democratic country with human rights is in the Middle East?
	Saudi Arabia.
	It's close.
	It's not that close.
	Qatar?
	It's not Qatar.
	Bahrain?
	It's not Bahrain.
	Kuwait?
	It's not... Yemen?
	Oh man, we could be here a while.
	I'm not gonna get it.
	It's a bit more free than some of them, but... Iraqi democracy, we put that in, right?
	That went well.
	It worked great!
	Because the thing is, the wonderful thing about wars is you can just go in and if you just bomb some buildings then all of a sudden a Parisian democracy springs up in the desert.
	They've got statues of George Bush there thanking him.
	I think I learned that lesson in Team America when they bombed Paris and destroyed the Eiffel Tower.
	You remember that, the first scene of it?
	So I got the right answer, right?
	You've never seen it!
	The first scene of Team America, though, getting terrorist attacks in Paris.
	So Team America shows up and blows up Paris.
	But in doing so, they stop the terrorists.
	So it's all worth it.
	It's great.
	It's funny.
	So anyway, thankfully, we have Iraqi democracy.
	So I mean, that's what they should really be supporting, right?
	Oh, it's hugely, hugely democratic.
	And definitely not just, like, riven with internecine tribal rivalries.
	I don't know if I pronounced that right.
	But yeah, Israel is the only free and democratic country in the Middle East, and a lot of Arabs would rather live in Israel than live elsewhere in the Middle East.
	And Rivka Brown, as a Jew, would definitely have a better time in Israel than she would... She's Jewish!
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, it's nuts.
	This sort of provokes self-flagellation, self-destruction.
	They want to destroy Western civilization, but they also want to destroy themselves.
	It's mad.
	Green politician in Scotland, Maggie Chapman, said what's happening in Palestine, bear in mind she calls it Palestine, not Israel, is a consequence of apartheid, she still uses hashtags like a boomer, of illegal occupation, hmm, bit of a typo there, hmm.
	and of imperial aggression by the Israel state.
	Palestinian civilians have seen their homes destroyed, their water stolen and their land appropriated illegally.
	Yeah, whatever you say, Maggie, I just, I remember when Scottish politicians wanted to just transition kids instead of transition kids to destroy Western civilization.
	She probably still wants to do that.
	Yeah, that's what I just said.
	She still wants to do it, but she also wants to... Don't you feel so represented, though, Leo?
	Don't you love that when Scottish politicians have the same interests that you do?
	I don't even think she's Scottish.
	I think she's from New Zealand.
	Let me just check.
	Maggie Chapman, where is she from?
	She's a she-her... Well, I mean, your first minister isn't from Scotland, so... Eco-socialist... Eco-socialist in the bio.
	She's from Zimbabwe!
	She's Rhodesian!
	And she's like, yeah, what happened there?
	What happened there?
	We need that here.
	Everywhere should be Zimbabwe.
	I thought Mugabe had brought socialism to Africa.
	Why did she come here?
	So Zimbabwe decolonized, successfully decolonized itself.
	And then she went, I'm leaving this place.
	I want to repeat that success in Scotland.
	So yeah, she's from Zimbabwe.
	This is the trouble.
	Everybody's taking their eye off politics because everybody just wants to watch Strictly Come Dancing and have a wank and eat some Wagamamas.
	All at the same time.
	Yeah, all at the same time.
	That's why it comes with that bowl.
	But nobody's paying attention to politics.
	Then mental people like Maggie Chapman with terrible nefarious opinions can get into politics while nobody's paying any attention.
	God bless Mugabe.
	The whole world, global Zimbabwe and all of that.
	Yeah.
	And then, oh, we've got a video now of your average Western land whale.
	So we've got sound with this one.
	I can't stop thinking about the way that Colonization is in its reckoning period.
	Across so much of West Africa and Central Africa, we're seeing coups and we're seeing uprisings.
	And, you know, I'm not an expert on the politics of Israel and Palestine.
	Don't put yourself down.
	But it is also deeply unsurprising to me Seeing what's happening in Palestine.
	Because everyone is acting like some people are acting confused and the instinct here, given the complexity, is to see things in terms of this is horrific what's happened to Israel.
	But when you're examined colonization and decolonizing What did you actually think that would look like?
	Like, for real, it is so interesting watching people comment on this.
	And it's like this visual struggle of respectability politics and the way that there should be a diplomatic solution.
	And when you are violently oppressed for that long, what do you think the uprising against your oppressors looks like?
	And I say this as a white person living in colonized Australia on stolen land.
	Like some people need a bit of a reality check, I think.
	Because like, what did you think was going to happen?
	Why doesn't she get off the stolen land?
	Well, she's too fat.
	In the next segment, we'll talk about what would happen to her if she was a part of one of those indigenous communities that she so valorizes in her little speech.
	Why did she have to take so long to say that all?
	She was obviously choosing her words carefully because she was thinking, how do I say this without sounding like a psychopathic retard?
	Yeah, and she still sounded like a psychopathic retard.
	And the stuff she said, she said, I'm not an expert on Israel and Palestine.
	It's like, well, Thank you for telling me.
	We could have worked that out.
	But to be, to say, I'm not an expert, but here's why I think the murder of children is justified.
	That's a pretty, pretty bold move.
	I don't know.
	I think a lot of people are waking up to the absolute horror that is woke ideology.
	It used to, when it's all in the abstract, decolonization sounds, sounds great.
	But she's like, she's saying this.
	This face, this is the face of the white woman promoting decolonization.
	And this is the face of every white woman who works in HR.
	Oh yeah, absolutely it is.
	Just as a warning, we'll have to wrap up soon because we're out of time.
	But I just love the idea, she's like, well, why do you people engage in respectability politics?
	Sorry, what?
	Being respectable is now something you shouldn't be fighting for?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Alright, we'll skip over the next one and go to the... So this is, I mean, you'll have seen this, this is a crowd in Sydney shouting, gas the Jews, and they've been shouting this at pro-Palestinian demonstrations in other countries as well.
	I just want to know why it's illegal when Count Dankula does it in a joke, and it's obviously a joke, and he's not glorifying it, and he obviously doesn't mean it.
	Well, you know, this gathering of comedians, I also would suspend the free speech.
	How come when these Guardian columnists, when these BBC journalists, when they gather to do it for real, it's not a crime when they do it?
	I don't know.
	What you can't see is the crowds are obscuring all of the small pugs that they're just getting to do a little salute with it.
	It's just a joke, bro.
	If we move on to the next one, so this is Celtic, if we scroll down, Celtic is a football club in Glasgow, it's like one of the big two, and it's traditionally been a sort of pro-IRA,
	fan base and uh yeah we scroll down the stuff the palestinian flags actually get delivered there and they've been they've been holding up things like free palestine victory to the resistance uh we scroll down a bit more there's the name of mass by the way islamic resistance the death skull with the palestinian whatever it's called um that's because they're the good guys either they just had that in reserve or an NGO provided that to them because you don't get something like that just oh we need five minutes to just mark something up quick you can get a red bubble don't worry
	Yeah, it's absolutely mental.
	I think Teespring do them now, if you ask politely.
	And the BBC refuse to call Hamas terrorists.
	They've got all this sort of prevaricating nonsense about why they won't call them terrorists.
	Even though they were happy to call the IRA, they said, Thatcher and the IRA, dealing with terror.
	So one man's terrorist is another man's not a terrorist.
	How does this make you feel, Callum?
	Do you feel oppressed?
	I feel like you're being discriminated against.
	You leave the Irish out of this.
	You're terrorists to Jason.
	I can't say anything.
	This ideology, bear in mind, I'll just finish on this, Hamas aren't killing for any sort of defined political objective, they're killing out of hatred of Jews.
	In their charter it literally says We hate Jews and we want to kill them.
	That's the political objective.
	Yeah, that is the political objective.
	Yeah, but that's not like a... It's not normal politics!
	If you're defining politics as, you know, non-violent passing of policies and putting forward of policies, but politics takes many forms.
	But even the IRA, they're a terrorist organisation, but they had a defined and plausible political aim.
	You know, the reunification of Ireland and all that sort of stuff.
	Whereas Hamas is like, you know, the IRA were never like, we want to take over the whole world.
	Because Hamas literally want to take over the whole world.
	They say, the Hamas commander says, the entire planet will be under our law, there will be no more Jews or Christian traitors.
	That's just Muslim groups though, isn't it, for the most part?
	Yeah, and Hamas is an Islamist organization.
	We believe in what the Prophet Muhammad said, Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I've seen its eastern and western ends.
	The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me.
	The entire 510 million square kilometers of planet Earth, he's measured it.
	That was Muhammad's most impressive feat.
	Well, yeah, he must have had one of his laser...
	Pointers.
	We'll come under a system where there's no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity, and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians, against the Arabs, and all of the Arab countries in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other countries.
	I mean, Lebanon used to be a majority Christian country, but let's not let that ruin his fantasy.
	So yeah, and we can see in Lebanon as well.
	Lebanon used to be Christian, became majority Arab Muslim, and then, you know, now it's an absolute basket case.
	So yeah, man.
	When people show you who they are, believe them.
	And this is Hamas saying, this is the Islamists saying who they are.
	So yeah, maybe we should just keep Western Europe maybe a little bit free from these ideologies?
	I don't know.
	Just believe in vibes, alright?
	It's diversity.
	Which is good, because it is.
	I suppose so.
	All right.
	On that note, we'll move to the Australian.
	Should we talk about what's going on in funny old Australia?
	Funny old Aussie land where you've got those people from the last segment saying, yeah, decolonize me, daddy.
	Go on, do it.
	Do it.
	I dare you to.
	That's what she was basically saying.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But you know that's going to get clipped now.
	Yeah, well, everything we say is going to get clipped, Callum.
	People have already started clipping our interactions over the past few days, so just lean into it.
	No.
	You don't normally put up so much resistance.
	Anyway, so what's going on in Australia is that in a few days, on Saturday the 14th, there will be the Voice for Parliament referendum.
	The voice for the Australian Aboriginals, Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander people to have a say in the Constitution, in an advisory board that will be put behind the Parliament that can say, we want this done for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
	We want this done and we want it so that we can improve the situation, improve the conditions of our people.
	Will this work?
	How will it look like?
	I've been covering it for the past few months, but it's been kind of a funny year for Australia altogether because alongside this, they also had earlier this year the Western Australia heritage laws, Aboriginal cultural heritage laws, which got implemented at the beginning of July and then immediately were repealed which got implemented at the beginning of July and then immediately were repealed a month after because of how terribly they went because it literally just said, well, if you own land in Western Australia and you want to do
	Well, Aboriginal people might have some kind of ancient claim to that land from 10,000 years ago because one of their ancestors took some peyote and saw a water snake in a river there.
	So if you do anything to that land, you owe them tens of thousands of dollars.
	And everybody realized, hold up, this will completely destroy farming.
	There's no way that we can actually implement this without just roaming gangs of Aboriginal People presenting for Aboriginal groups and Aboriginal rights going and just basically just asking people for money, just shaking down people for money.
	So they turned around and said, actually, this won't work.
	This won't work.
	But in the same year, they've decided, what if we had that, but for the entirety of Parliament, for the entirety of Australian government, basically.
	Where we have the Aboriginal Advisory Group behind Parliament that can give advice for anything that they say that they want to be done so that they can get better outcomes.
	Because to be fair, in Australia, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that they have there are in pretty dire straits.
	They're very poor, they're very ill-educated, oftentimes they have very, very bad health results.
	We've discussed a bit of the reasons for this in previous segments and I will go into a little bit of that.
	But, you know, you can understand from the perspective of somebody who has Aboriginal heritage or is Aboriginal in Australia, you would think, I want conditions to improve.
	I want conditions to improve for my people.
	Will this help it?
	And are those conditions that they live in the result of colonization?
	Because, of course, this all comes from decolonization.
	As we were discussing in the last segment, decolonization is not What it's sold as being, most of the time.
	Well, yeah, it's murder.
	A lot of the time, yes, it's murder.
	I do have to take umbrage, though.
	I mean, I've spoken about this with the Americans.
	Native Americans.
	It's like, well, no, the Americans, they're also native to America.
	They're not from anywhere else.
	Yeah.
	They're not from England.
	They're not from France.
	They can talk about the heritage as much as they like.
	They're not us.
	Yeah.
	It's the same with the Australians.
	Like, you've got the Aboriginal Australians.
	It's like, well, no.
	Like, You've got to make the Australians.
	Again, they're not from England.
	They're Australian.
	They are a group that comes from Australia only.
	So I kind of hate the language already.
	Also, the Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians, it's not like they were there for millions of years.
	And especially Māori, I think Māori are only there like... Māori have only been there a few hundred years.
	Like, England as it exists right now is older than the Māori, which is why it's funny when they say, oh, they're such an ancient people.
	No, they're not.
	I think the Aboriginals in Australia have only been there for about 60,000 years, which is a pretty long time, and they were disconnected from the rest of the world.
	But I think the reason that you say things like Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander people is mainly just because of the fact that there is a division within the society where it's a very clear distinction where there are these people over here and these people over here.
	There are two different ethnic groups and it's just the way that people categorize them.
	There needs to be a better term though.
	Yeah, I can understand that.
	I quite like it in America when they just call them Indians.
	Well, I suppose you can.
	I mean, you can just call them Indians if you want, because when we got to Australia, you know, that's what they were calling them then as well.
	They're just like, Indian was just the actual term for brown foreigner.
	It's also just kind of funny.
	Because I remember there's this Slavoj Žižek, I think it was, when I met some of them, and they said they actually quite liked that it's still the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the quote was, because it's a monument to the stupidity of the white man, of course being an Indian, that's how he put it, but it's just like, yeah, whatever.
	I don't think it's stupidity, I think it's a proud ignorance.
	Performing in Australia a lot of places say or strongly suggest you know it's almost like giving your pronouns that you should do a recognize the land that you're on and give thanks to the people whose land.
	And also if you want to give a big bag of cash to these people.
	Well, that's the thing.
	I got in trouble for doing it because they were like, oh, you should do this before your performance.
	I was like, yeah, so I'd just like to give thanks to the people whose land we're on.
	I mean, you're not getting it back.
	All you're getting is this little saying before the show.
	That's true.
	Yeah, I mean, I'll go into a bit of detail about what it is so that everybody's clued up.
	So the voice would be a permanent body that the government would have to consult on issues affecting the lives of Aboriginal people in the country's other indigenous groups, Torres Strait Islanders.
	Panel would be advisory without a FETO or budgetary control and if passed will mark the first mention of First Nations people in Australia's constitution.
	So like I say, there's lots of ethics Socio-economic disparities between the two ethnic groups, between the whites and the abos.
	But that phrase really does make you sound like a gay man, though.
	What, the abo?
	No, no, no, socio-economic.
	Yeah, it does.
	Pure socio-economic factors.
	Just saying.
	Wish.
	But, like other disparities between groups that are down to, supposedly purely down to socio-economic factors, There's a lot more to it than that, and let's just say that we'll find out that the people who were there when we got there were not these noble savages living purely in, you know, coexistence with nature, getting along, holding hands, running through fields of daisies together.
	No.
	Shockingly enough, when British people got to foreign places, oftentimes these people were not noble savages.
	They were just savages.
	But anyway, so like I say, it's supposed to create all these solutions.
	The structure is completely up in the air at the moment.
	Nothing has been agreed on.
	So the structure of this advisory board, they're just saying, vote for it.
	Why?
	Because it'd be the nice thing to do.
	It'd just be the nice thing to do.
	The most that I was able to find that there was two reports, but the most referenced one by publications like The Guardian was the Colmer Langton Report, which was sent to the Aussie government to tell them that it should have 24 members altogether, two from each state, one member each from the, five, further five members one member each from the, five, further five members to represent remote areas that have unique needs.
	An additional member would represent the significant population of Torres Strait Islanders living on the mainland.
	They'd get four year terms.
	It'd basically be like the way you structure things.
	Four year terms.
	Half membership determined every two years.
	Limit of two consecutive terms for each member.
	Two co-chairs of different gender to one another would be selected by members of The Voice every two years.
	Because of course...
	Because it's happening in the current year, even this body would have to have an even split of gender representation.
	Have we asked these Aboriginal people if they even have the same gender divides as us?
	No.
	So obviously this is already a very bigoted move.
	We're forcing!
	This is just Western culture!
	It really is quite imperialistic, isn't it?
	Yeah, so this was actually originally something that was proposed when people were voting for the most recent government.
	I think it's the, I forget the guy's name, but it's the Labour government in power of the federal government in Australia at the moment.
	And this was something that they campaigned on.
	But the reason they're trying to get it done through a referendum to change the constitution would mean that you need
	to do another referendum in the future if you want to repeal it so they're basically just trying to make it as permanent as possible because you change the constitution the next government that comes along can't just say this advisory board doesn't work never will work never has worked because in the early 1990s they actually already had something very similar to this proposal implemented in the local areas where it turned out to just be a hive of corruption where people were taking backhand bribes and abusing one another
	Which is pretty horrific, some of the stories that I read researching into this.
	The level of abuse that was going on within these communities.
	So they repealed it in 2005 and now of course when they're reporting on that, publications like The Guardian taking all of the context away and just saying, can you believe we already had this?
	And the evil conservatives just repealed it for no reason.
	How racist and terrible of them.
	The other important thing is, this is basically not going to work.
	This is not going to work because you need a double majority to pass a referendum in Australia.
	I looked into this earlier.
	What it means, essentially, is that you don't just need the majority of the whole country, because it's split into five states, you also need the majority of the states to have a majority there.
	So, say you only get two states' majority, but you get an overall majority, it doesn't pass.
	Doesn't pass, so it's going to be very, very difficult.
	But I'll carry on with some of the information.
	The No campaign, which has been led mainly by conservatives, argues it will create extra bureaucracy, embed racial privilege into the constitution, and turn indigenous people into victims.
	Which, you know, 83% of them are in favour of this, so I'm sure they're mostly fine with being labelled victims if it means that they get free stuff out of it, like most ethnic grievance groups in the West do.
	Another opposition group, Progressive No, says the voice would be a powerless advisory board that does not go nearly far enough.
	So be afraid of those people because those are the actual insane people.
	Previous attempts to reverse negative trends regarding these socio-economic factors have been heavy handed.
	Events in Alice Springs, a dusty remote town in the heart of the Northern Territory, where around 20% of people are Aboriginal, is perhaps the most infamous example.
	In 2007, a policy known as the Intervention, the local army was deployed, limits on alcohol purchases included, because I believe with these aboriginals, about half of them are heavily alcohol dependent, and it causes a lot of trouble in these communities.
	They also have a big problem with petrol sniffing, as I've discussed before, to the point where it gives them brain damage, and they sniff so much petrol that Australia had to introduce a non-sniffable petrol.
	into the country so that they couldn't sniff it to get high.
	But then the abos found out, actually, if we just sniff a lot of it, you can still get high off of it.
	I didn't know you could get high sniffing petrol.
	Oh, you've never tried it before.
	You never lived, my friend.
	No, don't try that.
	Don't try that at home.
	It literally gives you brain damage.
	Please do not try that.
	So the emergency response aimed to tackle disproportionately high rates of domestic violence, crime, and allegations of child abuse, mostly in camps dotted around the desert town, which was set up by Aboriginal people displaced from their traditional lands.
	And it gives the big sob story, says about how, oh, 250 years ago the British arrived and they stopped them from doing their Completely peaceful and harmless cultural practices and displace them.
	We tried to integrate them and integration is only ever a bad thing because colonization was only ever a bad thing and now we need to decolonize and just let them get on with it.
	Well, what does letting them get on with it mean?
	Because a lot of the problems that they experience now, including the domestic violence, including the alcohol drinking, including the petrol sniffing, is blamed entirely on colonialism.
	But what was it like before we showed up?
	Well, there's this really good article from a conservative Australian newsprint.
	I know that's a very silly, terrible cartoon, but it's a terrible cartoon.
	But it says something to our tits.
	Don't ask me!
	Don't ask me to explain the ways of foreign peoples.
	So he talks in here, one about some of the previous councils that have been set up that are very similar to what the Aboriginal voice is trying to do for Parliament.
	He says, why hasn't the plethora of well-funded Aboriginal councils not tackled the violence issue before?
	They can't solve the problem.
	They are the problem.
	Here are two case stories.
	So, The Voice's predecessor, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, was created by Bob Hawke in 1990 with bipartisan political support.
	There was no split between this.
	Everyone said, yep, this is a great idea.
	There's supposed to be a radical shift towards self-determination to fund housing, infrastructure, jobs and legal aid, along with grants and loans to myriad claimants.
	At its peak, the 80s SIC was disbursing 1.1 billion Australian dollars a year.
	Now, bear in mind that's Australian dollars, so that might be, I don't know, enough for a KFC.
	The bosses focused on land rights, treaties, self-determination, and constitutional reform.
	So all of this big lefty decolonization language has been going on for a very long time.
	They've been trying to implement solutions like this for a very long time, as though Aboriginals' women's sufferings were irrelevant.
	Indigenous legal expert Hannah McGlade took a job with the ATSIC in 2001 on treaty work.
	She found the gamut of women's affairs was handled by one part-time junior staffer, And in mid-2001, The Age, a publication, ran an exposé by Andrew Rule about the ATSIC chairman, headed, Jeff Clark, Power and Rape, alleging him to be a sexual perpetrator of sexual violence.
	a serial perpetrator of sexual violence.
	Four women provided sworn allegations of assaults by him in the 1970s and 1980s.
	One woman was his child cousin at the time.
	Police said that the evidence was not enough to secure a conviction.
	Clark strongly denied the allegations, saying, my only crime is that I am an Aboriginal and I have the audacity to question the legitimacy of this country.
	I can't be a rapist because you are racist, is the logic that we're following there.
	That does sound like something you've got to shut.
	Yes.
	I have called for a treaty.
	In 2007, he was found in a civil court proceeding to have raped one woman.
	McLeod was outraged that when the allegations arose, the ATSIC women, rights supporters, Aboriginal big shots, and the Green Left weekly closed ranks denigrate the complaints as BS from the capitalist media.
	The evil capitalist media.
	The second example of this black-on-black oppression involved the Swan Valley Nyungar community in Outer East Perth.
	The community was led for 40 years by an elder, Robert Brofo, a charismatic power broker.
	He led Aboriginal rights campaigns and became the 1990 NAIDOC Person of the Year.
	Welfare authorities skirted around the enclave and police dumped wayward youths there.
	Blue sniffing was rife among children who were also sexually abused by both men and teens in the area.
	Robert Brofo in 2008 got three years, increased on appeal to six, on five counts of unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under 13 years old.
	Judge Nesbitt described Brofo as a bully and a repeat liar who had sexually abused the complainant from the ages of 11 to 22.
	Brofo in return likened himself to Martin Luther King and Gandhi.
	He died in prison.
	So these are the previous examples of them trying to implement something like this on a more local level.
	And it just turned into a gigantic case, as you can see here, of the people in charge abusing their power.
	Nothing gets done.
	I can only assume that a lot of money was also handed off to people who weren't exactly going for positive results for people.
	Yeah, it sounds like a lot of money spent to cause a lot of pain.
	Yes.
	Horrible things.
	Yes.
	And it sounds like average government spending, to be honest.
	It really does.
	I don't know.
	I mean, how often do you find other prime ministers and nonce?
	I mean, we suspect they all are.
	Don't get me wrong.
	And this wasn't this wasn't the prime minister.
	This was the leader of a particular.
	Sure, sure.
	But this is like the local level.
	Yeah, I suppose so.
	For those groups.
	Yeah.
	For that ethnic group.
	And then he goes on to talk about how this behavior This behaviour, because they're well known for massive rates of abuse going on in these communities, which is always blamed on the colonial aspects of Australia, has been going on far, far before the Brits got there.
	In fact, to prehistoric times.
	So there was a paleopathologist, Stephen Webb, in 1995, published an analysis of 4,500 individuals' bones from mainland Australia going back 50,000 years.
	Priceless bone collections at the time were being officially handed over to Aboriginal communities for reburial, which stops any follow-up studies.
	But Webb found highly disproportionate rates of injuries and fractures to women in schools, with the injuries suggesting deliberate attack and often attacks from behind.
	His findings, according to the anthropologist Peter Sutton, confirm that the clubbings of women have been common for over Thousands of years.
	It's literally like the cartoon the caveman with a club bashing his wife because she doesn't agree and then dragging her away to yeah yeah that's exactly what was happening and in 1788 when we got there that's exactly what was happening still after thousands of years.
	First fleeter Watkin Tench noticed a young woman's head covered by contusions and mangled by scars.
	She also has a spear wound above the left knee caused by a man who dragged her from her home to rape her.
	Tench writes They are, in all respects, treated with savage barbarity.
	Condemned not only to carry the children but all other birthens, they meet in return for submission only with blows, kicks, and every other mark of brutality.
	When an Indian is provoked by a woman, he either spears her or knocks her down on the spot.
	On this occasion, he always strikes on the head, using indiscriminately a hatchet, a club, or any other weapon which may chance to be in his hand.
	So the question is, if these problems The experience now, which are very similar because of the same sorts of incidents that always happen in these communities, and that's one of the excuses being given for this in the first place.
	If these problems are due to colonizers showing up, why have they in fact been going on for tens of thousands of years?
	And how will having an Aboriginal voice to Parliament, advisory committee behind Parliament, solve anything?
	How will it help these people?
	Because that's what it's all being put forward for, is how will it help these people.
	A great division within the community country that will eventually lead to mass murder.
	Go on.
	Oh, is that the solution?
	Yeah, that's what I think.
	I forgot, what did I think decolonization meant?
	You're absolutely right.
	But the positive thing is that it's not going to work.
	It's just not going to work because if the polls are anything to go by right now, more than 4 million people have already cast their ballot after an early voting began on October 2nd.
	Stop looking into- Why do they keep putting penises on things?
	That's what I'm saying.
	Don't ask me why you- Why do you- That little dangle bit.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Is that Adelene?
	Penises on things.
	That's not fair.
	Is that Adelene?
	I was just saying.
	Little penis bit.
	You're at a spot.
	Anyway, for less than two days to go before voting on October 14th, those opposed to the proposal lead the yes campaign by 56% to 38% according to the final poll by YouGov published on Thursday.
	Some 6% of these polled were undecided.
	YouGov polled a representative amount.
	What are you doing?
	We're looking for the penis.
	Sorry.
	There you go!
	So yeah, it doesn't look like it's going to go well.
	I don't see anything good coming from a yes vote going ahead.
	Not that I see a yes vote being successful here.
	Mainly because for the aims that it's actually saying that it's going for, it would do nothing to aid these communities in actually solving the problems.
	So... What?
	What?
	No, you can't say it?
	No.
	No, can't say it.
	Yeah, it wouldn't solve any of the problems that these people face, especially the women.
	The previous attempts to do something like this have failed completely and just been another Nexus Point 4 abuse to take place and for money to be handed over to people.
	The previous attempt to implement something relatively similar in Australia That being the Cultural Heritage Act earlier this year in Western Australia was repealed immediately, but this referendum is trying to make something like that permanent and constitutional.
	So if you get the opportunity on Saturday and you live in Australia, please remember to vote no, because it doesn't seem like any good could come of this.
	Also, I forgot... Or you could vote yes to just troll the world.
	So why not?
	Make it a bin fire.
	Yeah, I also forgot to say that we work on a website That has articles on it.
	And if you want to read them, give us money.
	And videos, yeah.
	If you want to read them, give us money.
	Because this was an interesting article by Noel Yaxley talking about whether racial representation and ethnicity of teachers actually helps students learn anything.
	Computer says no.
	And if you want to listen to that rather than read it, you can get a silver subscription and you can listen to the silky smooth tones of Jonathan Crowe.
	Is Noel in the office?
	Because I was just chatting to him on internet.
	No, I don't think he works in the office.
	Well, I suppose on that note, we'll move on to the last subject, which is us all being sick.
	I spilled coffee on myself and now I'm sad.
	I've been sniffing too much petrol.
	We'll use this as an interim.
	The thing I was laughing at is someone in the chat just put, Leo's dad used to hunt aboriginals with a punt gun.
	Coming up next.
	Anyway, that's not going on YouTube.
	So, that's that.
	Alright, I want to talk about the fact that I'm going to be sick, and you're all going to be sick with me, because, uh, bed boogs.
	The boogs, they're in our beds.
	They're coming.
	The, oh lord, are they coming.
	And, uh, if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll just quickly... I thought, I thought we were still in the Aboriginal segment and you were doing the accent.
	Oh no, we're talking about the boogs.
	And as you can see here, in France, there's been a bit of a boog outbreak.
	And, uh, it's, you can see, for people listening, a huge pile of mattresses have just been thrown into the trash.
	This is in Paris.
	Yeah.
	Marseille.
	Marseille.
	I actually won the award for cleanest street in France.
	Brilliant.
	Truly.
	I suppose we'll listen to the audio on this because, uh, I, you know, you and me both love, uh, French accents.
	It's just a man going, Oh, something like that.
	I hope.
	Wait a second.
	Interesting French accent.
	And that writing at the bottom of the screen didn't look French either.
	I don't know why that happened.
	I learned- Sorry about that.
	I studied French in school and that didn't look like any French I'd ever seen.
	Well, I, uh, don't know what to say.
	But anyway, we'll begin just before we get into the boogs.
	Promoting something on LotusLeaders.com.
	This being Dan's, uh, well, pro-economics series.
	This episode on house prices.
	With these two guys who are medium level developers making houses in the UK.
	Uh, because it was good.
	I watched it, it was very good.
	So if you want some good, go check that out.
	Because that, that one's good.
	Anyway.
	If you want more Gooderist content, then go to the website.
	And watch just this video.
	Just watch that one.
	Watch all of it.
	Make your own mind up, I'm not your dad.
	Anyway, so we'll get back into the books.
	So, as you can hear that French man telling us from Morocco.
	Oh, Monaco?
	I thought it was from Marseille.
	How did he end up writing in gibberish then?
	Scroll back up to the top.
	So, a new story.
	It's just the poster saying that it's from Monaco.
	Okay, but then what's with the news?
	They've just found the TikTok.
	Okay, what's with the noodle speak and what's with the noodle text?
	Someone let us know.
	I thought this was France, but never mind.
	We'll move on because it's gross.
	And for people who don't like bugs, probably skip.
	Probably skip this one.
	But if you want to live in reality and see what's coming, this is it.
	And I suppose we'll listen to this.
	This is awful.
	This is another TikTok from France.
	You know, it was started by somebody on 4chan who hates French people.
	It's not true, Savva.
	I don't know.
	I instantly believed it.
	People who can't hear it, he's just showing us all the bugs.
	I'm like, yeah, statement.
	Have you ever had bed bugs?
	No.
	Do you want to tell us your story?
	Because you said you had.
	Yes, I lived on Edgeware Road in this block of flats.
	Basically, my mate rented out this flat as short-term lets to Gulf Arab businessmen, but as soon as COVID happened and you couldn't evict people, these guys were basically gangsters, just took over it and he couldn't get them out and he paid them to leave and they took the money and just stayed.
	It was so funny.
	It's not funny.
	And what do you expect?
	So he said to me, if you can get them out, you can stay there for free.
	I didn't have any work because it's during the pandemic and stuff and it's edge of a road, so it was great.
	So I eventually paid them off and they agreed to leave and I went down there and made sure they went out and we changed the locks and stuff.
	But I guess because the block of flats is just people coming and going from the Middle East all the time, Because I think you get bedbugs in the Middle East.
	Man, I got bedbugs, and it was genuinely the most horrific thing.
	Like, it was horrible.
	It was horrible.
	So I was seeing this lassie.
	I don't know if they were biting me, or if I just didn't come up on, didn't get any reaction, but my girlfriend at the time came down to stay with me, and she got these, like, red blotches on her skin.
	And she's like, I must be allergic to something.
	And then the next day there's like more and then the next day there's more.
	And you know, we're like, what's going on?
	And I was like, well, maybe there's, is there mites or something in the bed?
	So I turn over the mattress and like, I turn up one side and it's like, no, there's nothing there.
	I turn up the other bed and it's like, it's like this and like a fucking swarms and they're all regular and they're fucking big.
	They're big.
	This is what you don't, you think of like bedbugs or little mites or something as being like, you know, maybe on the head of a pin.
	No, these are like, honestly, like a... What's their adults?
	A woodlouse.
	They're like, they're bigger than a woodlouse.
	Man, they're big and scuttly.
	And you could see where the... Everyone's getting itchy.
	Shat out all the, all the blood on the mattress and stuff.
	The thing is... That horrible thing.
	And like my, oh man, my girlfriend was freaking out.
	And like, so she went back up to, she lived in Glasgow and I had to basically You get this stuff, diatomaceous dust, it's this dust that is so fine and it clogs up in their gills.
	Oh really?
	And I had to, it's all the legs of the bed and the dust, I had to chuck out the mattress, fumigate everything, diatomaceous dust everywhere, like how you make a sort of, put the ashes down when you're camping, and yeah man.
	And I had to destroy it.
	I had to buy a saw off Amazon and cut up the bed frame.
	Because they hide everywhere.
	They're really, really hard to kill.
	Man, impossible.
	So this is the problem.
	So as we can see here in Paris, they're just utterly infested with it.
	And this is like the public transport.
	So not even the mattresses.
	You get on a first class seat, because it affects first and all classes, no matter how much you try and wipe it down.
	That's not going to cut it.
	They must be socialists.
	So yeah, they're just like in the first class seats, but you can find them everywhere.
	And this keeps going.
	I mean, this guy here, this footage here, imagine being on public transport, seeing that thing crawling around.
	And that's a full adult there.
	And then you think, OK, they're everywhere.
	Absolutely everywhere.
	This is just the common thing in France now.
	If you're not being assaulted by gangs of foreign migrants, then you're being assaulted by gangs of bedbugs, even when you're not in bed.
	It's absolutely absurd there.
	And people don't believe me when I tell them that there's a thing called Paris Syndrome that affects Japanese people.
	Oh, it doesn't just affect the Japs.
	Yeah, it affects everyone who turns on Paris at this point.
	Have you heard of this, Leo?
	No, what is it?
	Basically, Japanese people, they watch a lot of movies, and they get their idea of the foreign world from movies, and Paris is always portrayed as this amazing wonderland where you go there and you fall in love, everything is beautiful, everybody's friendly, the sun sets, go to the Eiffel Tower, and then they go there, and the disconnect in reality from what they expect actually makes them physically ill, and most of them end up having to go home early, because they just The Japanese Embassy has a special department to deal with it at this point.
	Really?
	Yeah, it's weird.
	But you can see here some more French footage.
	I don't know why there's more, um, Cheerios.
	But you can see, like, the bedbugs in the water.
	In the water?
	Yeah, they're encased in the plastic wrapping around the water there.
	These bowls of water at a French supermarket.
	And this is the story, really, which, you know, bedbugs are pretty much everywhere.
	But Paris is having such a massive infection of them.
	It's also infested with rats.
	I think rats outnumber the people two or three to one there.
	We should say it's not just Paris, of course, as we went over previously, it's Marseille as well, but it's moving all over France and then expanding out.
	You mentioned the 4chan thing.
	I'll get on the channel soon.
	I'll mention it real quick.
	This rowboat's going to bring over bedbugs.
	Because there is this post going around that's talking about how it was some 4channer who did it, and it's not true.
	If you find the original post.
	I still believe.
	It's a French guy writing on a French image board, so it's not even 4chan.
	Right about how he's done this so that it doesn't make sense that's a myth that's been started which is kind of annoying because you know it's not true but there we are i mean i do love this i mean some guy decided to tweet out you guys know the bed bugs are harmless right they are filthy and irritated but still harmless it's like the bed bug right this like not harmless what are you talking about they carry diseases Yeah.
	People, they're infectious and they're horribly just disgusting.
	Even if it was that they're just, just filthy and irritating, why should anyone have to put up with that?
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't know.
	Rats are perfectly harmless, guys.
	Just leave them alone.
	I mean, the bedbugs apparently now have newspapers.
	The Guardian, for some reason, has sided with the bedbugs.
	Never mind the French connection.
	Bedbugs are already on the rise in Britain.
	We must learn to live with them.
	We need a constitutional amendment for says James bug he for some reason says we shouldn't even try and eradicate them just learn to live with them and actually you know what you should do the Black Plague is here to stay guys and we've just got to live with it you should learn to grow more blood please it says the Guardian yum yum it said licking its lips You can see Emmanuel Macron here talking about the situation in Israel.
	A lot of people just responding that it's kind of weird for you to talk about war when you're losing a war against bedbugs right now, which is true.
	And maybe we should listen to the experts, though.
	I found one expert who I sincerely believe in.
	She's from Indonesia.
	She has a response of what we must do because the pesticides aren't working.
	There you are.
	So, maybe, maybe.
	Just saying, putting it out there.
	Maybe we do need Team America in Paris now.
	It turns out the Bedbugs now support Palestine, apparently.
	So, as you can see, I hope the Bedbugs destroy that country for real, says a Palestinian supporter here, and a lot of others, a lot of other noodle appreciators in France.
	Is Bedbug going to become a new dog whistle after this segment?
	No.
	You can see, like, I don't know if people know about this, but they're hosting the Olympics, supposedly, in nine months in Paris.
	And they already have this problem happening.
	But there's already this problem, this guy does a good video about it, I love his animations, where because of the way the Paris sewers work, there's a huge amount of, well, untreated shit water in the main river.
	Right.
	Because whenever the storm supply, the pumps there, I forget the name, what was it?
	Storm drainage?
	I think that's the word.
	You can see how little I know.
	But this, when that overflows, the shit water gets pushed up through it, because otherwise it would end up in people's houses and then ends up in Britain in the River Sen.
	And so they were promising that they would run the swimming events in the river.
	But obviously it's full of shit, so you literally can't do that.
	It's not safe.
	So whilst they've got this, and they spent billions and billions of euros trying to solve that, they've now got the bed bug infection to exterminate within nine months.
	So good luck with that one.
	Can the two be used to cancel each other out in some way?
	Yeah.
	And I, you know, you would have thought, haha, French.
	But of course, it's right there.
	So now people have been noticing them on the Victoria line.
	The main line for the international Heathrow Airport.
	Is this just a rule of reality?
	All the worst things happen in France and then immediately spread out like a disease?
	Yeah, so you can see them thriving on the Vicky line as people discuss it there.
	And there's more of them.
	It's not just the one, but there's that.
	And of course, well, some people saying that bedbugs are in Birmingham and Leicester.
	So this guy has a solution, which is, you know, panic.
	Don't know about that.
	I mean, there's also the question, I mean, being in Swindon, I'm just like, well, anything in London gets here in seven days at least.
	Yeah.
	And apparently it is true.
	You can see the Times reporting that the pest control are busier than ever.
	Specifically bed bug calls all over the country.
	I mean, they're talking here about the commuter area, Bedford, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire.
	They're talking about there's a massive uptick.
	I take about 25 calls a week, where it used to be one or two a month in regards to bedbugs.
	So there we are.
	So that's great.
	That's fantastic.
	Sadiq Khan saying that it's a source of concern.
	I would have been a cause for war, personally.
	Just stop it now.
	Stop the spread.
	Seven days.
	Flatten the curve.
	I don't know.
	I just can't stand bug infections.
	There is some data on this for people who are interested.
	You can of course know that bug's been around for ages.
	You can see the most infected cities.
	And for some reason there's a list here.
	Leicester.
	I mean, London's number one.
	Most densely populated area, fair enough.
	Leicester is like the twelfth biggest city in England.
	For some reason they're number two in all of the UK.
	What do Leicester, Marseille and Paris all share in common?
	I don't know, but it's obviously not just that.
	There's the United States as well, for people wondering, in the US, how bad it is.
	You can see here, it's not a population density map again.
	For some reason it's certain areas.
	Ohio there is just getting screwed.
	You can see New York City is the worst one.
	Oh my god.
	So to give some comparison when this chart was made, this is for a year's situation.
	So in Los Angeles there were 400 instances they recorded of mass bed bug infections where professionals had to go out and destroy the place with fumes and whatnot.
	And then New York City there is 4,500.
	It's more than 10 times Los Angeles.
	New York City is just awful.
	I guess it's all apartments and stuff, because they can travel, migrate between apartments.
	Yeah.
	Through, like...
	They can catch the subway, too.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they can...
	If you've traveled somewhere, a lot of people pick them up in hotels and bring them back home, so they can get inside your bag.
	So you've got to, like, be really careful with your bag.
	I did tell my mum about all this, because I was talking about it, and she was like, oh, we had bedbugs when we were a kid as well.
	Being up north, and no one knowing about silicon and crap.
	They just burnt everything.
	and burnt all their clothes on the beds and everything.
	I was like...
	All right.
	That works for me.
	That's one way of dealing with it.
	That's the North solution.
	Yeah, the disgust in her voice remembering what happened during that time.
	I'm just like, I'm doing everything I can to keep it out of my apartment block.
	But I live in basically somewhere that is just London but Swindon.
	You live in mini India, don't you?
	Yeah, I do.
	60-something percent Indian, where I live.
	Right.
	Anyway, moving on.
	There's a video here.
	This is a guy who just does a video about... And they're feeding!
	Yeah, he decides to do a whole deep dive into them.
	I do recommend this if you're interested in the subject.
	And here's the defenses you can use and the offensive measures which work.
	So, for people wondering, I'll just describe them, I guess.
	The bed-in-a-bag thing.
	There's these big bags you can buy where you zip up your entire mattress in case there are bed bugs in the mattress.
	I got one of them.
	Yep, and then you have to leave it for a year to be completely sure that they're all starved to death.
	You can live for like months and months and months without any food.
	Six months to a year, depending on the temperature.
	I mean, they're really hard to kill.
	Drying, so when you wash your sheets and whatnot and everything else, you'll need to dry above 50 degrees centigrade.
	Yeah.
	So that'll kill them instantly.
	That works.
	That's something that does work.
	Three, which is just declutter your house to get rid of all the hiding places.
	And then if you've got them for sure and you want to make sure you kill them all, vacuuming, that works.
	Make sure you empty the bag after you've done it and outside immediately.
	The dichotomous earth thing, so that's the thing you're talking about.
	You get silicon dioxide and then you spray it and what happens is the bedbugs, they get covered in it and then they go back to their friends and they cover them in it as well.
	And what it is, is that the silicon dioxide It dehydrates the bed bug so they literally just die of dehydration and there's no way they can build immunity to that.
	Apparently some of them are getting immune to it but yeah it gunks up and gets in all the cracks and stuff in their bodies.
	Why are bed bugs so difficult to kill?
	Because we used to use chemicals to kill them and lots of pesticides which was great and I believe it's something like the 40s or 50s that stopped working because they started to become immune to it.
	And also because we don't want to use those chemicals anymore because they're bad for us as well.
	Well, they just don't work.
	So, I mean, like this guy, he's with some professor and they did a test and, um, when they used the chemicals in all different circumstances, it killed 12% of the bedbugs.
	You know what also killed 12% of the bedbugs?
	Water.
	Because they're just immune.
	It doesn't work.
	Right.
	So would flooding my house work?
	Well, no, but there is the last thing here, which is steam.
	So if you hit them with steamers, of course, that's way over 50 degrees.
	That will kill them 100% of the time as well.
	So that's the solutions in case you get them.
	What about smashing them?
	That will work.
	You'll kill some, but you ain't gonna kill them all.
	I can try.
	So just try your best to avoid them, kill them if you can, and this whole story.
	Gross.
	Yeah, cheers.
	Let's go to the video comments, I suppose.
	Look, we do public stuff.
	Look, Quokka.
	- What kind? - Evening, here's a nice little wallaby.
	Now it's been a hot minute since I've shown off any animals.
	I've just come back from an injury, broken ankle and blood clot.
	In happier news, the Australian referendum's gone ahead in three days.
	And by the looks of things from exit polling and early polling, it's gonna be a resounding no, since you have to get a double majority Yeah.
	Also, that's a cute little wallaby.
	You ever met a wallaby?
	No.
	I've been to a nature reserve in Wales once and they had just a bit where you had a load of, I think it was wallabies, it was some Australian animal where you could just walk among them, they're very peaceful creatures.
	I even got to pet a few of them.
	Yeah.
	If you wallaby my lover, you've got to get with my friends.
	No.
	Are you a dad now?
	Oh, you are a dad, aren't you?
	You can get away with it.
	I can tell.
	I can tell.
	I got a child.
	That's permitted then, isn't it?
	Yeah, you're allowed to do that.
	Okay, you've got away with it.
	I've got an Israel joke as well.
	I asked the Prime Minister of Israel to... I asked him if I could email him.
	He said, yeah, Leo, but I'm not on Hotmail.
	I said, Ben, do you mean not on Yahoo?
	That's actually quite clever, I like that.
	Thank you.
	You know, you've watched the Norm Macdonald Show?
	Yeah!
	You know when they do the jokes sometimes and they're just... That's the... I hate puns.
	I don't like puns.
	I love puns.
	A clever pun is both the worst and best thing you'll ever hear.
	They're both bad.
	How is the UK pun champion?
	2014 or 15.
	Is this a pun joke?
	No, I genuinely was.
	There's a championship for people doing... Competition, yeah.
	What's the address?
	Uh, no.
	Don't tell him.
	Leicester Comedy Festival.
	Can't tell if you're joking, no?
	No, it is, it's real.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll call up Hamas and see what we can do.
	Callum, please, don't go all Irish on us now, okay?
	You should never have grown that beard.
	Good advice.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Sorry for the audio last time, guys.
	Hopefully it'll be better this time around.
	Glad to see Lord Miles is doing okay.
	Been making my way through the comics corner.
	I think it's hilarious to see Harry actually say Z instead of Zed for Dragon Ball Z. It would have driven me nuts if he had said Dragon Ball Zed, to be honest.
	God bless you guys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm glad you're enjoying Comics Corner.
	Dragon Ball Z is the one exception I will make to my rule to always say it Zed.
	Mainly because it does just sound really stupid if you say Dragon Ball Zed.
	Zed Zed Top.
	Oh yeah, actually that's the other exception I'll make.
	It occurs to me that Britain could use its own version of Public Square.
	Public Square is an American app which allows businesses to proclaim they will never be woke and be patriotic, thus allowing people to network with each other.
	Are you app developers part of the Lotus Eaters audience?
	Well, you know what to do.
	Meanwhile, I'm working on a mobile home trailer type thing for my mech so I can bring it to more places and network too.
	I don't think we need whatever he was suggesting.
	I think we need more school death mecha robots.
	That's what we need.
	If you could send a few shipments of those our way.
	Yeah.
	But with lasers.
	Save humanity.
	I suppose we'll go to the written comments on the site.
	The written comments, Lord Nerevar says, almost everyone has an utterly brain-dead take on the Israel situation.
	In fact, the Lotus Eaters are amongst the few people I know who are actually taking a step back to see what happens rather than jumping to join either side.
	Good job, lads.
	Actually, man, I'd jump.
	I'm not even like a massive fan.
	I've got no dog in the fight, but I believe in civilization over barbarianism, so...
	I support Israel just like Justin Bieber.
	Matt Thompson in the exact same way as Justin Bieber as well.
	Matt Thompson says, I'm actually quite concerned this is going to spill over into terrorism in Europe and we'll be expected to hold candlelight vigils and not look back in anger.
	It's almost that is something I'm worried about.
	So can we talk about that?
	So I was told, I mean, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently Hamas called for literally tomorrow to be a day of jihad across all of Europe.
	And they want the Muslims to rise up and go and kill presumably non-Muslims or Jews all over Europe.
	So, I mean, we were sat there thinking, Jesus Christ, that's awful.
	And then we thought about where we live.
	And I thought about, you know, we're talking about that hotel with a load of Afghans and Sudanese people and blah blah blah blah blah all over the world.
	And it's like... Ah!
	Yeah, they're literally the diversity who believes that Hamas didn't do nothing.
	Yeah.
	And also the kind of people we keep seeing on the news killing people.
	So, I mean, to be genuinely serious, like, we were talking to each other, like, should we avoid going into town tomorrow?
	Because, I mean, there was a story today, I put it up on Twitter, but people might not have seen it, of a guy just down in the high street, like six minutes from where I live, a walk, and he was in there screaming he was going to behead some woman who works at this pound shop.
	Yeah.
	And it's like, okay.
	That's how they deal with customer service.
	You don't get the service you want?
	Side with Hamas?
	No, don't do that.
	That's just an Islamic militant's way of demanding to see the manager.
	But I mean, sincerely though, Jesus Christ, how awful are living conditions when something like that can cause us to sit around and think about what precautions we need to take because some fight in the Middle East.
	It happens every couple of months now, where there's something like this that hits my own life, where I think, okay, we need to move to Poland or something, because this is crap.
	I mean, genuinely, the stuff we talk about hits your own life to the way that you're thinking, like many Israelis are thinking, you know, should I be living here?
	Because I might die.
	If something happens tomorrow on mass across Europe, if that isn't a turning point for the entire continent to just start going the other way, then to hell with this place.
	I don't think it will be because it would mean absolutely flipping over all the ideology that's been drummed into people about diversity and multiculturalism and mass immigration being a purely good and benevolent thing.
	And if anything, I think the issue with immigration from Muslim countries, we're going to get more of it because a lot of people are being displaced from the Gaza Strip and they can't go to any Muslim country.
	Gotta come to Swindon.
	I think if there was any one issue that would cause the elites of Europe to turn around their rhetoric on Islam, it would be if it's related to Israel.
	And some form of pro-Zionist message that they wanted to get across.
	That's the only thing that they would do that for.
	I think they could, if they wanted to.
	Because you've got to remember, most normies will just go with whatever the new headline is.
	So if the headline tomorrow is all of a sudden, Europe combats mass risings of terrorism, most normies would probably, there'd be a little cognitive dissonance in their heads where they go, Weren't we saying the exact opposite thing when Manchester got bombed?
	Oh, well, if it's for Israel, you know, most people go along with things like that.
	So I think they could get away with it.
	I mean, I think the news, me and the legacy media have sort of been decoupled from the influence.
	Influencing people's lives.
	Social media.
	Most people just get their news and their opinions from social media now.
	Sorry, sorry guys.
	Sorry.
	Oh yeah, just so there's, I mean there's a lot of wild stuff.
	Some people will be getting their opinions from Navarra media and all the leftists and some people will be getting their opinions from us.
	I saw a guy yesterday tweeting, he's some, you know, normal writer, it's not usually insane, right?
	And he starts tweeting out, it's disgusting that those of the British right have been trying to use this to drive their hateful policy recommendations, talking about the fact we shouldn't import mass people who might kill us.
	And I just, I love that because it's- Wait, this person was on the right?
	Yeah, like, normally.
	That's the liberal type in London.
	And I just love that this is all happening in London.
	None of the British right live in London.
	I mean, like, you're living under oppression, frankly.
	24-7 having to live there, along with a few others.
	And when we hear from you, it's just like, yeah, that's awful.
	And so...
	This conversation, I think, you know, to hell with it.
	Yeah, okay.
	If this is the only time in which we can, as you say, make the point that will actually be listened to for once, then sure, this is the issue we'll fight it on.
	Because I remember a while back, I think it was Tommy Robinson and some female content creator, I forget the name of, It might have been Lawrence Southern, maybe not.
	They made a movie about Paris and the fact that all the Muslims of Paris just had to leave.
	And they genuinely just showed the number of human beings, where they were leaving, the areas.
	And can you guess why?
	Was it because there wasn't enough kosher meat?
	No, it was because of mass immigration.
	It literally wasn't safe for them to live there anymore.
	Right.
	And if that happens to London as well and the rest of Europe, which seems to already have happened, most of them have moved to Israel.
	Okay, we'll fight you on that issue then.
	If that's the only one you'll listen to in which we can finally lower the numbers, I don't care, we'll use it.
	I mean, that's the thing, isn't it?
	These people, the liberals, the white leftists, they will vote for all of these policies, vocally support all of these policies, and then spend as much money as possible to avoid the consequences of these policies by moving out of the large population centres where these people inevitably move into, oftentimes in subsidised housing that most of us are paying taxes to support.
	So, Who does that leave behind?
	That leaves behind the poor people who can't afford to move out, who have to live with the consequences.
	Sorry to go on such a ramble.
	No, it's interesting.
	I don't know if this is going to be the actual inflection point for things changing.
	It depends if, I think, it depends if enough people do try and rise up to what you're saying about Hamas power.
	And reject all the sort of leftism and wokeism that's gripped people's minds.
	Kevin Fox says, Hamas have been in power for 17 years and have had tens of billions of dollars in aid from UNWRA and Western countries.
	And yet they haven't managed to sort out their own water and electricity supply.
	They still get it from Israel.
	And that doesn't include all the work being done by NGOs to try and get them to improve their infrastructure.
	They've been using the money to buy the latest weaponry and set it up in schools, hospitals and apartment blocks.
	Absolutely true.
	And so many of the Hamas top leadership are absolute billionaires now and living in Qatar and sending their kids to Swiss private schools.
	And they're actually quite, for some of them, for some of the Hamas billionaires, the ostensible leadership, this was a surprise to them.
	It's the sort of the people in the grassroots Hamas people who planned a lot of this out.
	So, yeah, but there's so much corruption in Palestinian politics, obviously, when there's so much aid going into it.
	I sent a video to Karl earlier because he likes those Facebook videos of someone making something.
	And it was a Hamas version of that where they're using the water pipes and turning them into rockets.
	And they've got some blaring music about how great they are.
	It's like if you're building water infrastructure as a charity project they literally turn that into a missile.
	So what can you give them?
	It's like the A-Team.
	Yeah but you can't even give them like plastic bags because they'll turn it into something.
	Muslim MacGyver.
	Well I don't understand, so they get, like, Gaza gets its water from Israel, why doesn't Israel put chemicals in the water to turn them all gay?
	The stuff that turns frogs gay or whatever, whatever they put in the water in London, just put that in and then... Maybe they've tried, they were already gay.
	So you think Hamas are all self-hating gays?
	Maybe.
	If they're all gay then it would be doubly... They'd still want to kill you, but more flamboyantly.
	They'd be flamboyant, they'd get distracted by, you know, they'd want to have fun more, and also...
	Sir, they're cartwheeling towards us in the distance.
	It would be so awkward down the mosque where they're all like trying to follow the scripture but also they're gay.
	The paragliders have the LGBT red book.
	Paragliders would be like releasing themselves from the parachute.
	Oh no.
	In horror at their own sexual orientation.
	I mean you have got a point though in the sense of like Israel just turned around yesterday and said no rules of war anymore so it's like okay war crimes are on the menu in which case I don't know what they're going to do.
	Maybe they are thinking of something.
	They're already dropping white phosphorus.
	Brandon Thomas says, I'm confused at the thought of decolonization with just woke books.
	Now it's killing women and children that do not get the memo.
	Yeah I mean we're waking up I guess to what it really means.
	Joshua Crager says BLM took notes from terrorists.
	Remember Chas when roaming gangs of rapists and murderers did their best to make a terrorist organisation proud while complaining about being oppressed?
	Alexander Drake says Based Harriet the conflict between Jews and Muslims ain't our concern.
	We've got our own problems in the countries we actually live in to deal with.
	Yeah, and if it ends up, like you say, displacing a load of Palestinians who decide that, you know, well, Israel says that, oh, we don't want these people, they're too dangerous to live near, so here, you live near them instead.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I don't want that.
	Thanks.
	Cheers.
	Our greatest ally.
	A-Z desert rat or A-Z desert rat depending on where you are.
	Arizona.
	Do these people calling Hamas's actions decolonization not realize the Jews Israelites have been living in Israel for over 5,000 years and Palestine has never existed as a sovereign state?
	Shake my head.
	And yeah that's a fair, it was Judea wasn't it back in the day?
	And then didn't the Romans Yeah, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and caused the Diaspora peoples... Did you see what the Italians did on the weekend?
	Oh no, what did they do?
	Oh, the Arch of Titus, wasn't it?
	So they put up the Israeli flag on various things, and the Italian decided to put it up on the Arch of Titus, who obviously was the guy in charge of the first Judeo-Roman War, and destroyed the Temple.
	and drove them out of Judea and the embassy of Israel retweeted this image and were just like thanks so much sincerely everyone in the comments are just like do you not know your own history yeah there's images of Brett or Erich Weinstein giving that thing the finger because he's of like ancient the one guy does know Baron Von Warhawk says when it comes to Mia Khalifa's opinions I believe that if you do porn once your opinions on politics are worthless
	How can you expect to improve society if you humiliate yourself for a living?
	Well let's not forget as well that during Covid there was that famous clip of her going around where she used her mask to pick up some dog poo, put it in the bin and then put the mask back on.
	That wasn't her.
	That was her.
	That wasn't her.
	That was her.
	There's no way that's her.
	There's a 50% chance that's not her.
	Should we go onto some of the other comments?
	I'll just read the Omar Awad one.
	So Omar Awad says, BLM haven't cared about rape, murder, extensive property destruction since their inception.
	They'll twerk on top of an ambulance while the patient inside bleeds out.
	I wouldn't expect them to know what war crimes are, let alone care.
	Great point.
	Yeah, so Ananymi says, I don't think this voice thing is a completely bad idea.
	Maybe in Australia, but it could be a great idea for native voices in the UK.
	We wouldn't need it if we just cleared them out.
	Arizona Desert Rat says, it sounds like the Aboriginal tribes in Australia are having the same problems as the Native American tribes in the USA.
	Rampant addiction of alcohol and drugs, rape, sexual assault, and abuse committed within the tribe that isn't prosecuted, and generational poverty.
	Some escape the cycle and have happy, successful lives, but I've worked with some kids who have gone through horrendous trauma.
	That's terrible to hear.
	Ruda Day says, Terrible.
	We're really terrible, aren't we?
	African fella.
	Whitey brought petrol knowing full well we'd want to sniff it and now blames us for it.
	Terrible.
	We're really terrible, aren't we?
	And let's go with some of yours as well.
	Sure.
	So there's some people talking about how great it will be by 2013.
	You can get your own breakfast underneath the bed.
	That's eco-friendly.
	So, in Paris, the boogie's you.
	Bay State is going to set fire to his bed now out of paranoia.
	Yeah, I did love George Happ talking about Starship Troopers there.
	And I did very much want to end that segment off with the only good bug is a dead bug.
	But then I thought, you know what, YouTube's not going to get that and then ban me for it.
	No, that's going to get clipped.
	They think I'm talking about the French.
	I wish everyone knows that they're frogs.
	You know what's annoying?
	Under Facebook's rules, that is actually against Facebook rules to even call the French frogs, you're not allowed to call another human being, not just a group of human beings, any human being, an animal.
	So if a woman calls another woman a cow on Facebook, she will actually get a strike for that.
	Right.
	What if I call someone a fearsome lion?
	Well, if it's derogatory, then... What if I called him a cowardly lion?
	Yeah, that is a bit... Oh, okay.
	And wouldn't the derogatoriness be the perception of the victim, like all the hate speech stuff?
	Yeah.
	But anyway, we're out of time.
	We'll be back in 29 minutes, or 28.
	Thank you ever so much.
	If you'd like to find Liu, you can find him here, as you can see.
	Oh, I've also got a YouTube channel.
	One more.
	You got pronouns on that one too, or just... I do.
	I'm a woman.
	You actually have pronouns on here?
	I think they've added the feature.
	You can do it now.
	And I'm trying to get to 2 billion followers.
	Please help.
	So if you believe in that sub-goal... What are you doing at 2 billion?
	Are we getting nudes at 2 billion?
	2 billion?
	I don't know.
	Probably I'll get a takeaway, get pizza in.
	Alright.
	For everyone.
	And I'll pay for it.
	I thought you were literally going to be like, no, I'll probably just stay home.
	Yeah.
	Be good.
	Anyway, so if you want to believe in the sub-goal, add the subs.
	Otherwise, bye!
