	Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters, episode 1141.
	I'm your host Harry, joined today by Carl, and returning guest, our friend, raw-egg nationalist Charles.
	How are you doing?
	I'm very well, it's a pleasure, as always.
	Wonderful. And today we're going to be talking about the new attacks against Turkish barbershops by the police.
	Can you believe it?
	They're coming for your barbershops, ladies and gentlemen.
	Government-enforced anti-white racism, is that alongside the government-enforced homosexuality?
	Yeah, it's part and parcel of it.
	Okay, that makes a lot of sense.
	Thank God we're not Hitler.
	And they don't know what to do about our lost boys.
	Remember, because if we didn't do these things, then we'd be Hitler.
	Oh, I see, right.
	You see what I mean there?
	Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
	Obviously, if you don't have those things, then you're a fascist.
	And they don't know what to do about our lost boys.
	I don't know what that's about.
	Well, they're really struggling with what...
	The plan is for young men who are not happy with the current state of affairs, and they don't have one.
	Well, you've got the right guest for that on today then, don't we?
	Well, yeah.
	Alright, anything else we should talk about?
	Oh, there's Ladzauer.
	What were you actually doing in Ladzauer?
	Dan, I don't know.
	Old adverts.
	Something like that, but all I could hear is him cackling from the corner of the room.
	Yeah, I realised Dan's got a real Mr. Krabs laugh.
	I don't know what that means.
	Mr. Krabs from Spongebob.
	I'm too old for that.
	You don't show your kids?
	Of course you don't.
	Of course you don't show them.
	I guess not.
	No, I don't run WhatsApp as TV.
	Anyway, there'll be Lads Hour where you get to...
	We all get to learn why Dan's been laughing so much to himself.
	So tune into that if you've got a subscription on the website.
	Let's get into it then.
	So, as we all know, English Town's not doing great.
	Really, really not doing great right now.
	I had the misfortune of going into my hometown...
	The other day, a lovely place in Cheshire called Crew, and was walking around for a little bit, and came across this incredible site.
	The Cheshire Halal Meat Center.
	I looked into it, people were telling me in the replies, last time it was inspected by a food inspector, zero star hygiene rating.
	Oh really?
	Interesting they didn't shut it down.
	Like I covered the other day, that's what happened with the Kenya butchers on the street.
	Yes, I've got your video that you posted on your channel and we're going to take a quick look at that in a moment.
	But this is a very frequent sight that you can see all across towns in England which have been completely abandoned to foreign businesses.
	Foreign businesses that clearly do not adhere to any kind of standards that you or I would appreciate for one being...
	But look at the buildings on the other side, just shut down.
	Yeah. Shut down.
	There's lots of shops that are shut down.
	You've got this patchwork road with a little bit of cobblestone just peeking out to remind you that there used to once be a culture here.
	You've got Cheshire Food Store to the left of it, which sells African food, obviously.
	And back in the day, this street here, I can say from experience, used to have nice businesses down it.
	It used to be a place where there was lots of nightclubs, lots of venues where you could go and play music.
	And slowly but surely, they all shut down.
	This is something that you can observe in lots of towns across the country that have been completely abandoned, including Swindon.
	Yeah. And you did this video the other day where you were going around Swindon, kind of doing the Doom tour.
	Unfortunately, yes.
	It was just one of those...
	Because I've been here for 25 years and I've spent a lot of time in Swindon.
	And it used to be really nice.
	I know that people like Swindon.
	It's like, look.
	I'm not saying that it was like, you know, Kensington Gardens or anything, but like it was just very homely, relaxed.
	It was personable.
	There were lots of actual things that you'd want to go to.
	Like this, where this street is, this was all massive nightclubs.
	And so every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, this was just heaving, like thousands of people down these streets.
	And the whole thing was just a lot nicer than it is now.
	And I think the same thing as...
	That has happened to Cheshire has happened to Swindon, which is essentially when the native population gets diversified, gets the foreign immigrants landed in the town centre, well, they just move away, and that means that there's not the foot traffic in the towns to support the old businesses of there.
	I think there's a parallel that you can draw with Cheshire and Wiltshire as well, because Crewe is quite like Swindon, in that it's the one really bad place in a county that otherwise is still very, very nice.
	Wiltshire, that's what Swindon is for us.
	But we have lost so much foot traffic that the council wasted who knows how much money building an enormous multi-story car park over the past few years, which is so useless that it's shut on Sundays.
	So, the thing that really makes me think this is definitely what it is, is...
	In Old Town and Swindon, most of the businesses there have been there for about 20 plus years.
	I remember the businesses at the north end of Swindon being the same businesses when I met my wife up there, when we first started going out.
	And so the fact that everything has changed so rapidly down here, but North Swindon, which is the Old Town, is still mostly English.
	You see the same shops still subsist.
	So I'm absolutely certain it's about population replacement that is causing this.
	Well, I was going to say, I mean, in my neck of the woods in the West Country, it's very noticeable in, you know, small market towns, places like, for instance, Yeovil, right?
	So Yeovil is an interesting place, you know, Yeovil, that area of Somerset in the 19th century, then I think something like 75% of all the leather gloves in the world were made in and around Yeovil, right?
	So it was like a boomtown for leather goods.
	And the leather industry in Yeovil kind of limped on for a long time, basically until the financial crisis, 2008.
	I mean, for me, my observations, I would say that it's 2008 that really started this.
	These high streets have never recovered from the financial crisis.
	So once upon a time, Yeovil had a Starbucks and there was a Topshop.
	I mean, they're not high-end.
	There's something.
	They're pretty good.
	Rising affluence, you can see that it's associated with that.
	But then they're empty now.
	The premises are all empty.
	In fact, there are shops in Yeovil that closed down during the pandemic and they've still got the social restriction boards up and the markings on the floor, the two metre markings.
	So, I mean, it's...
	It's multiple things, I think.
	It's definitely prolonged economic hardship, but also, of course...
	Well, what the prolonged economic hardship has enabled is for there to be a wealth of open properties that aren't occupied by anybody for foreign businesses to come into.
	And the funny thing about diversified foreign businesses is that they lead to an incredible...
	Lack of diversity in businesses that open on your high street, as seen in this Welsh town, which is Porth, which has a population of about 6,000 people and 13 barbershops, all within a 0.3 mile radius or six minute walk from one another.
	And what this article is talking about, in that there's already 13 here, there's another one attempting to open.
	And people in the local area are complaining to the planning permission people saying that you should not allow this application through because we've already got enough barbershops.
	Trust us, 13 is more than enough for 6,000 people.
	We're not getting multiple haircuts every single day.
	I think one or two would do us fine.
	It's interesting though, isn't it?
	You think, so that's what, one let's say roughly one barbershop for every 600 people in that town, right?
	I bet there's not one doctor for every 600 people in the town.
	Oh no, no.
	Under Tony Blair, there'd be even less.
	Yeah, so it's crazy.
	Which begs the question, actually, about the economics of these shops.
	Well, they do a lot of grooming, don't they?
	Yeah, well, yeah, yeah.
	But, you know, I mean, people...
	They get a lot of traffic in them.
	They do, and there's...
	Yeah, I mean, I've seen people talking about how the police know that these places are fronts for organised crime, in particular for drug trafficking, for money laundering, all that kind of stuff.
	Well, it does raise the question in a lot of these towns, like Crewe, like Swindon, like many struggling towns where economic hardships have completely wiped Where are they getting this money from?
	Because most of the time you walk past they've not got...
	That many customers in them, and there's only so many times you need a haircut every single month to justify going into them.
	So that does raise the question.
	Alongside that, you've got other businesses that tend to pop up, because in this very article it says a recent survey of Porth's Town Centre conducted in 2024 by the Chamber of Trade found that respondents already noted an overabundance of businesses such as...
	Barbershops, beauty parlors, and fast food takeaways.
	Beauty parlors is one that I always notice.
	You get lots of nail salons open up around the place.
	You also get phone shops and vape shops.
	All of these businesses tend to be run by foreigners, and it makes it very suspect that you never see anybody really using them.
	But they always open.
	They're always opening.
	There's always more opening.
	Here's the Swindon Advertiser.
	Just last month, I believe.
	Yeah. AU Cuts, which I walked past on my lunch break today, opened in March 29th by two brothers who were inspired to do so by their father, you know?
	When did they get the money to set this up?
	I don't know.
	They're both, like, 21, 22 years old.
	Yeah, because it costs about 10 grand to set up a business.
	I suppose their dad must have given them the money.
	He must have fronted the money for them.
	Well, again, many, I'm sure...
	...are legitimate businesses.
	But lots of them aren't.
	There's this one.
	This might be a legitimate business.
	Barber opened Swindon shop after arriving...
	Elon's hair studio after arriving in the UK with nothing.
	Now, he worked 10 years to be able to open up his shop and raise the money, so there's an explanation.
	But then you get these ones where immigrants worked at Guy's Barber shop in Swindon illegally.
	This is an article from last year.
	And if you wonder how many of these places save money...
	To pay the bills each month is because they're probably not.
	...paying their staff members very much.
	Who knows if the staff are even trained to cut hair in the first place?
	Because this one, the court heard that the barbershop owner, Guy Awazi, made false Spanish identity cards for two siblings that he was employing who were illegally in the country in the first place.
	And then there's just more situations like this.
	Manchester Road, which we've got a short video coming out soon of Josh walking down Manchester Road and just pointing.
	Things. Noticing things.
	Noticing things.
	Manchester Road, or Little Pakistan, as I like to call it, they had a barber shutdown after there were drugs seized in a raid.
	Officers from Central Swindon South Neighbourhood Policing Team, along with police dog Bracken, who I'm sure is a very good boy, carried out two simultaneous raids at A-style barbers down Manchester Road.
	The raids were carried out in January in relation to money laundering, drug supply, and organised crime, where a significant quantity of drugs, cash, and luxury items were seized.
	I'm taking your surprise.
	I know.
	Big shock, right?
	So, for a long time, the police had known about these, there'd been some reports from the Daily Mail talking about these, and the NCA and other organisations said, yes.
	We know that a lot, if not most of these businesses are fronts for organized crime.
	But there hadn't been anything on the large scale, on a greater scale, done about them.
	You'd get these individual little raids here and there in local communities.
	But there was no organized effort to try and stamp down on them.
	Under the Tories.
	But now Labour's in.
	Boom. Can you believe it?
	Here's Starmer's Labour government.
	Under them, all of a sudden you get a big effort to try and crack down on this and this was on the front page of the BBC News this morning.
	You get reports on it where I will say as well, they do not shy away from the ethnicity of the people who are running these shops.
	Especially the barber shops as well.
	Multiple references in this one article to most of these being run by Kurds.
	Not Turks, even if they say they're Turkish barbershops.
	Most of it is Kurds.
	So let's read through a little bit of this, eh?
	So he says, it starts off by describing one of these raids, saying that they smashed through the back doors of a bright modern barbershop in the market town of Shrewsbury.
	Of course, it's in a lovely little town like Shrewsbury.
	Man, it's literally their business model, isn't it?
	Jesus. So who knows how much else they're making extra on the side.
	They aren't getting that amount of customers to warrant that amount of money.
	CCTV and other barbers have been rated as showing that they don't have many customers, so footage of this one will also be examined according to the detective inspector.
	So that confirms a lot of things that you can just...
	Observe walking through the towns.
	Looking into these yourself is that they don't normally have customers.
	I've seen people try and excuse it.
	Aaron Bastani, who flip-flops so often on whether he wants to be based or not, making the excuse, well, you know, in Turkey, it's a very privileged position to be a barber.
	They've got a great cultural heritage of it.
	So people love going to them because they know they're going to get a great haircut.
	I guess that we just don't see them at peak hours then?
	Well, no.
	No, the actual footage of their own shop shows that they're empty 99% of the time.
	This raid in Shrewsbury was one of 265 carried out across England and Wales last month as part of a crackdown on these high street businesses, often Turkish-style barbers, vape shops, and mini-marts.
	That's another one.
	Again, this shop right here, Cheshire Halal Meat Centre, how long do you reckon the staff have been in the country for?
	Can't have been that long.
	I wonder what their visa situation is looking like right now.
	Probably less time than the meat, actually.
	Yeah. Judging by the hygiene rating, I bet.
	I bet.
	But a lot of those mini-mart shops that you see if you go down the high street as well, I'm very suspicious of all of those.
	Who knows what they're actually keeping in the cellar round back.
	And you mentioned as well, there was the Kenyan...
	Kenyan meat shop, where they just had raw meat on the floor, and wasn't it rats as well?
	Yeah, yeah, rats eating the raw meat that was just left on the floor, and it's disgusting.
	Well, it's interesting as well, actually, you know, because there was a first wave of this.
	There was an earlier wave of this, right?
	The Polsky Shklep.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Plenty of them where I'm from.
	They're still around.
	If you go to my one there, you can see.
	Yes, yeah, along that.
	Yeah, right there.
	Right there.
	Krakow Polski Slep.
	Yeah. Because that was, I mean, that was an early kind of bellwether, I think, of this change.
	The appearance of these, you know, of these Polish mini-marts and Polish shops.
	And people kind of didn't like it.
	But there wasn't the same suggestion, I think, of criminality.
	It was more just the suggestion of they're forming an ethnic enclave in their own little economy where they keep to themselves.
	It wasn't necessarily that we looked and thought, oh, they're probably criminals.
	And in my experience, the criminality of the Poles, if they were criminals who came over here, was they would start claiming benefits and then go back to Poland and keep claiming the benefits.
	I've known quite a few cases like that.
	They weren't actively involved in crime in the same way in trafficking.
	The same way these other people were.
	But carrying on, politicians and members of the public, me, me, me, I've been talking about this for at least two years now, have raised concerns about many of these businesses which have boomed even while high streets appear to be in decline.
	The average number of barbers per person in England and Wales has doubled in the past ten years.
	According to an analysis by Green Street.
	There's something in the water that's making our hair grow faster.
	I mean, maybe.
	Maybe. Or maybe not.
	Maybe not.
	Now the National Crime Agency says it has launched the crackdown called Operation Machinize in response to growing intelligence reports that some of these shops are being used for money laundering.
	Again, any of us could have told you this.
	But we had 14 years of the conservatives letting this happen, continually ignoring the problem, downplaying the problem, calling you racist if you brought up the problem.
	Now we get Labour, and I hate to keep saying this, but they're actually doing something about it.
	I mean, the old cliche of the Conservatives fail to conserve anything couldn't be more true, could it?
	Yes, but...
	Gangs are falsely reporting the proceeds of criminal operations, etc, etc.
	Exactly how you know money laundering already works.
	Despite these shops operating openly for years on high streets and attracting widespread local suspicion, this is the first coordinated action of its kind by the police, tax and immigration inspectors, and trading standards officers.
	We were given, the BBC, exclusive access to dozens of raids carried out by Greater Manchester and West Mercia police.
	During the operation, police targeted a series of linked mini-marts in Rochdale that they suspect are fronts for illegal activity, staffed by Kurds, Iraqi, and Iranian asylum seekers.
	Officers later said some of the staff were working in the UK illegally.
	I'm sure it was more than just some of them.
	Most of them.
	A cannabis farm was found in Lee and over 150 plants seized.
	Also found during raids across Greater Manchester were brown powder, believed to be heroin, vials of testosterone, nitrous oxide, Xanax tranquilizer and the machete.
	I thought the government had banned those.
	How'd that slip through the cracks?
	It was at the mosque, Harry.
	No, that's in Stoke.
	That's in Stoke.
	Perhaps there's a network.
	35 people were arrested.
	55 suspected illegal immigrants were questioned.
	Three potential victims poor victims of modern slavery were identified.
	Bank accounts and assets worth over £1 million were later frozen and £40,000 in cash was seized.
	And that's just across Greater Manchester and West Mercia.
	Which is a relatively small part of the country taken in its whole.
	So this is just going to be wide scale across the entire country, wherever these businesses open up.
	So again, if you've walked past these businesses in your own high street and said, how the hell are they still open when everything else is closed?
	Your suspicions are confirmed, mate.
	Legitimate barbers have said they want to see a registration scheme and crack down on unscrupulous operators.
	And the SNCA estimates that 12 billion pounds in cash is laundered.
	Some of it through these...
	Criminal front organizations.
	Their numbers appeared to surge as shop vacancies grew in the wake of the pandemic, as we've already discussed, creating this opening for the criminal gangs.
	So if you didn't hate the government enough for locking you down for two years, destroying the economy, opening the floodgates for the Boris wave, also, it allowed for this to come in at an even greater scale than had already happened.
	Just let me...
	So, basically, there are a bunch of...
	Drug-running human trafficking gangs that have bought up our high streets to slush their illegitimate money through in order to continue to make millions and millions of pounds in profit.
	And this is why we live in a dystopia now.
	Because these are now free, because lawful, legitimate businesses were shut down by the government.
	Am I summarising this correctly?
	That sounds pretty fair.
	Jesus Christ.
	And again, on the fact that these people sponsor their own people to come across the channel as well, they point out here, there was in 2023, the conviction by the NCA of one Iranian Kurdish barbershop owner, Hewa
	Rahimpur, who was using his shop in London as a base for a criminal organization which smuggled 10,000
	into the UK over the boats.
	And that's just one guy in one shop.
	It's so bad.
	And it's worth remembering as well, of course.
	The pandemic didn't just benefit these people.
	Okay, it totally undercut the middle classes, it totally undercut the hard-working small business owners, but it transferred their wealth to the wealthiest people as well, to the mega-billionaires.
	I mean, I don't want to sound too much like a Marxist or anything, but it's true, you know.
	So what we've got actually is we've got this crazy, crazy series of restrictions that hand the high street to organised crime and also the...
	A large part of the markets are the businesses that are shut down to Google and Amazon and all of these multinationals, enormous corporations.
	It's the definition of a tyranny.
	It's an unbelievable betrayal.
	And we wonder why we live in a dystopia.
	We wonder why the country looks like it's falling apart.
	Well, of course it is.
	The criminals are not going to spend any of their ill-gotten gains upkeeping the front of their shop or making sure that the streets look...
	It's why they're hideous.
	Exactly, it's why they're hideous.
	Again, I think it's important to note as well, even if these businesses were all legal, were all profitable, and not fronts for organised crime, which some of them aren't, they are still hideous eyesores that sell absolute...
	Tat, that have no place on our high streets, as far as I'm concerned.
	Our high streets should be there for businesses that deserve to be there, including something that you see less and less, actually locally run independent shops by Brits selling whatever it is that they are specialists at.
	Butchers, people who create furniture, all sorts of things.
	You can do that, and it's a shame to see that vanish because it takes away the local character of these towns and replaces it with this Homogenous mess.
	I mean, I've interviewed a bunch of people on Swindon streets the other day, and one of the recurring points that they made that I hadn't really thought about was that there was nothing in...
	no shops in Swindon.
	And the thing is, there are lots of shops in Swindon.
	They're just, when they're not barbers or vape shops, they're weird sort of like Bangladeshi luggage shops.
	The one that was down the high street that had a speaker shouting at you all day, right?
	Eventually, I guess they took the hint.
	It was literally some Indian accent.
	Closing sale!
	All day, I guess enough dirty looks made them turn off.
	But the point is, there's never anyone in there.
	All they seem to sell is luggage.
	And this took over the top man.
	It was absurd.
	If you walked past it, the entire front of the shop was just...
	Suitcases. Yeah.
	Why? Who's buying these?
	I hadn't really noticed these until these people were pointing out that, you know, we were standing by the Brunel statue.
	There's two there!
	One next to another.
	So I'm assuming that these must also be part of this sort of black economy.
	Because no one's buying that much goddamn luggage.
	I think the evidence is showing that it's a safe assumption to make.
	And while it's nice that this is being done, finally some action seems to be taken, it's only a half measure.
	Cracking down on it needs to crack down harder because they point out at the end of the article, so far only 10 of the shops that were raided in this have been shut down.
	The majority of the shops that the BBC visited were back up and running within minutes of the police leaving.
	So you need to crack down, you need to crack down hard, you need to shut these places down, there needs to be criminal charges,
	What's important as well, I think, and this is something that's come through with the grooming gang scandal as well, is these people are clannish people.
	They're cousin-marriers, right?
	Yeah. That's a very polite way of putting it.
	Yeah, that's me being tactful.
	So this isn't just, this shouldn't just be treated as individuals, you know, it's an individual vape shop.
	I mean, there are networks, there are familial networks, not only within the UK, but also actually stretching back to the Middle East.
	And clearly if one shop is able to get 10,000 people in, who are these contacts that he has to get them over?
	Yeah, I mean, this has to be treated actually as...
	Like an international crime.
	Foreign interference.
	Yeah, I mean, if you wanted to go Trump, you could designate them as alien enemies and say, you know, we're going to deploy the full force of the British state and the military against them.
	I mean, that's what you would...
	What would the ECHR have to say about that?
	Well, quite, yeah.
	But that is what needs to be done.
	And hopefully, seeing as they seem to be starting to take action, more action will be taken.
	And one day, perhaps, England will have...
	Nice high streets and towns that you can live in again.
	Ryan, the engaged few, I'm not reading that.
	Can't read that.
	Ryan says he visited Clacton and the same thing is happening in Clacton.
	So even somewhere that is like 93% English.
	It's how it happens.
	It's how they get the foot in the door.
	I went to Salisbury and that's still like 87% English but even there, barbershop.
	My god, man.
	OPHUK says there's an immigrant at my work that does the dishes.
	Been here three years.
	Doesn't speak a word of English.
	Bought a 300k house the other week.
	Great credit rating or something.
	300k house?
	Okay. Lord of Nothing says, I've returned from my trip to England.
	Chichester was lovely, idyllic, and full of English people.
	London was grimy, artificial, and full of foreigners.
	Yes. There are still nice places.
	Yeah, there are, it's just not the main cities.
	Bald Eagle says, The Muslims made the mistake of rocking the boat by having their MPs be independent of Labour.
	This is the only reason why Labour is cracking down, otherwise nothing would be done.
	What do you make of that?
	I mean, it would be nice if that is the case, that if they're no longer useful as a client group, all of a sudden they go full I don't think they do.
	I don't think they do.
	But it's a nice fantasy.
	But it's an interesting take.
	Well, because if they are no longer a client group, what they've done is they've imported a golem that will turn on them.
	The Engaged View says, Well, isn't it wonderful that people from ethnicities who are busy killing each other back in their home countries are coming together to corrode the social fabric in England?
	Good point.
	Scanline says, while working in banking, I had a legal obligation to report these businesses.
	Otherwise, I would be fined and arrested for not reporting fraud.
	The reports never result in anything.
	Also, there's a reason why they don't take card.
	They only take cash.
	They're probably not using bank accounts.
	Davey says, there was a car wash in Ripon over COVID and...
	There was a car wash in Ripon over COVID.
	The owner just abandoned the illegals to fend for themselves.
	The guy living next door to the place fed them.
	Lefty as hell, as he kicked off when I said I'd report them.
	I hope you did report them, because he's just engaged in criminal activity.
	Anyway, on that note, let's move on.
	So what's happening?
	So, yes, I'm going to be talking about government-enforced anti-white racism with respect to this rather dismal story about Austin Metcalfe, who was an American schoolboy, 17 years old.
	He was the one who was murdered recently, wasn't he?
	He was, yeah.
	Very promising young man.
	Looks like he was pretty much a model citizen.
	Let me just head it off straight away.
	Tim Pool told me it was self-defence by the guy who killed him.
	Is that true?
	Well, I mean, obviously, I would be the last person to doubt Timpool's logic.
	When it comes to self-defense, he got Kyle Rittenhouse very right, didn't he?
	He famously said that Kyle Rittenhouse was a murderer, I believe.
	Did he?
	Yeah, he did.
	I didn't know that, actually.
	Yes, he did.
	Yeah, he came down very hard on the side of the three Antifa mutants who tried to...
	Who tried to murder Carl Rittenhouse and failed.
	They tried to touch him.
	They died doing what they did best, trying to touch a minor.
	I think that was a joke that Carlson made, actually, which was good.
	But yeah, no, so we've got this chap, Austin Metcalf, 17 years old, out of track meet.
	He's stabbed in the heart by another schoolboy, Carmelo Anthony.
	He's black.
	Austin Metcalf was white.
	Carmelo Anthony had brought a knife with him.
	To the track meet, as you do.
	I remember my days at school when we used to do athletics and we'd go to Exeter to the local...
	I would always bring a knife with me just in case somebody touched my backpack.
	Yeah, yeah, makes sense.
	Which is basically...
	It's your right to self-defence, right?
	Yeah, it is.
	Property rights are fundamental for Anglos.
	Because England cares so much about them these days.
	Yep, even dark Britons like myself.
	We cleave very, very jealously to our property.
	But yes, I mean, details have been emerging about this pretty dismal case, but it definitely looks like it wasn't a case of self-defense, like this young black boy, 17-year-old boy, was urging this Austin Metcalfe onto something and then stabbed him in the heart.
	He died in his brother's arms, tragically.
	And then what did we see?
	Within hours of this young man's death, his father...
	His father comes out and says, I forgive the killer.
	We shouldn't be hard on this young man.
	You know, he's made a mistake.
	His life shouldn't be ruined, basically.
	So which government agency prepped him to give that speech?
	Well, quite, yeah, quite.
	So yeah, so this is the young man.
	This is Carmelo Anthony.
	He posted, I believe...
	One or both of those pictures just hours before he stabbed.
	Austin Metcalf to death.
	I think it was the one with the AK that he posted.
	So, I mean, I think he has form.
	He'd been suspended from school actually for bringing in a knife before.
	So, you know, he had form.
	But anyway, there's a big, you know, you've got people like Tim Pool coming down on his side.
	There's a big Give, Send, Go campaign, GoFundMe campaign that's raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
	I mean, the comments actually by the donors are very, very enlightening as to, you know.
	So they're trying to do a defense fund for him.
	Yes, they are.
	He's got kind of knee-jerk Tribal support, I think, from the black community in the US, of course.
	The story that I'd seen in favour of his self-defence was essentially he was sat on a bench.
	Austin Metcalf and his brother began harassing him, trying to get him to shift off of the bench.
	So in a case of self-defence, he decided to stab him, which is what I do.
	Hardly proportional.
	Well, what they're actually trying to do is they're trying to make it like a modern-day Rosa Parks.
	And I mean, I remember Rosa Parks famously posing with...
	Which was also a staged event by the NAACP.
	It was, and it looks like actually, I mean, there was a tweet this morning, actually, I didn't put it in the show notes, but there was a tweet where someone was saying, the people who are now representing this chap, Carmelo Anthony, are actually known like race grifter types, and it looks like they're gearing up for a kind of George Floyd kind of sanctification.
	This is going to be an OJ trial, isn't it?
	Yeah, that kind of thing.
	But the real focus here for me is, of course, this apology.
	So this is Austin Metcalfe's father, Lee Metcalfe.
	It's very unfortunate that this other child decided to make a bad choice that's going to affect him for the rest of his life.
	I have compassion for every human being.
	I want to make this very clear.
	This is not a race issue.
	This is not a black and white issue.
	I don't want someone stepping up on a soapbox trying to politicise this.
	I don't appreciate some of the remarks I've seen online that people say there was this fight and they don't know.
	They weren't there.
	Neither was he.
	He wasn't there.
	Sorry, so is he trying to defend the honour of his son's killer?
	Yeah. And defend his feelings as well?
	Right. Yeah.
	I don't know how you...
	When was this interview done?
	How soon was it done after his son was murdered?
	Within hours.
	Within hours.
	Same day.
	How was he even composed enough to be able to conduct an interview like this?
	You tell me.
	And what's interesting, actually, if we look at the next link, is that his wife and the son who actually cradled his brother in his arms...
	But he was a twin, wasn't he?
	Twin, yeah.
	17. They have a very different take on whether the killer should be offered compassion.
	I heard your husband say, within hours of this, that he forgave this other young man.
	That he forgave this other young man.
	And he got there so quickly.
	And I honestly don't know that I could.
	And I just want to see...
	And I don't know if there's a right or a wrong place to be, especially as quickly as this has happened.
	Megan, how do you feel on that front today?
	I am not like their dad.
	I am so angry at that boy.
	It's just not fair.
	That's all I have.
	I understand.
	I'd like to say it's for Dave, not for God, but I'm not at that point yet to forgive that kid the way he did to my brother because, you know, 17 years, my best friend just turned in.
	Blink of an eye, I lost him.
	So I'm not at that point.
	Yeah. It's crazy.
	It's crazy.
	So, I mean, as you can see, look, the brother has a cross around his neck.
	So they're obviously, I would say, we can infer that they're Christian.
	But what is it that actually makes a father forgive his son's killer?
	And display more concern for the killer than his own son.
	So, I mean, I wrote a piece for Infowars last weekend where I was talking, you know, about the case.
	And, you know, I said, look, Jeff Metcalfe's father could just be a deeply committed Christian.
	He could be someone who genuinely, genuinely believes in the value of forgiveness and rejects the law of an eye for an eye.
	Or alternatively, he could just be a libertard whose brain has been so fried.
	By the programming.
	So fried by the programming that all he really cares about is signaling his virtue.
	He's more interested in going on the news and saying, I'm a good person.
	If it's that second one, sympathy for what happened to his son, I can't imagine what he's going through, but that's a deeply inhuman reaction to something like that.
	I wonder how much of this is him trying to exercise some sort of agency over the situation.
	Right, because there's nothing that he can do otherwise, and it's quite harrowing.
	I mean, grief does terrible things to people, and I think unless you've actually experienced real grief yourself, unless you've had a child murdered, and then you've got cameras pointed in your face, I mean, you don't honestly know how you would react.
	I mean, I've been to funerals, and I've seen mothers whose children have...
	...have died young, and they're not even crying.
	So it's not open and shut, but nevertheless there's this phenomenon that we see again and again of white parents whose children are murdered or seriously injured by non-whites in violent crime,
	and what's their first instinct?
	They go on the television and say...
	I've forgiven the attacker, the killer.
	It's not about race.
	It's categorically not about race.
	It always feels like a talking point that has been handed to them.
	Yeah, I mean, it sounds like a script.
	And so who might be providing this script?
	Well, there's an agency within the Department of Justice called the Community Relations Service.
	Would you be able to...
	Yeah, that's it.
	Nice. The Community Relations Service, and I think it's a very secretive organisation, first of all, because of what it does and because of the potential, really the explosiveness, actually, I think, of what it does.
	So the Community Relations Service was founded off the back of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.
	So it was dreamed up basically by JFK.
	Yeah. So the website says,
	and this is the website that we've got up, the mission of the office is to be America's peacemaker, tasked with preventing and resolving racial and ethnic tensions, conflicts, and civil disorders, and in restoring racial stability and harmony.
	This is the point, right?
	And this is why they get the parents to come out and say, this wasn't about race, I forgive my son's killer, because there is a collective debt being incurred.
	It's happened.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	they're in some way saying, well, look, I don't want the collective on one side to have an increased level of hatred for the collective on the other.
	And I want to maintain the harmony of society because these people have to live with us and we don't want to arrive in a kind of 1930s Germany situation.
	So I can understand why they're doing it but as you said it's kind of inhuman because it's entirely natural to have this when this happens to have a kind of sense of no there's a burden that you keep incurring and I am unable to get restitution.
	And it constantly happens, and there's no restitution for this burden that's being incurred.
	I see things in a quite Carlylean perspective, personally, in that justice is good's revenge against evil.
	Yes. And if you deny that justice, well, then you're allowing evil to win.
	But what's interesting, of course, is that it's not...
	On the one hand, I could understand a very committed Christian saying, look, I abjure the...
	Yeah. I mean...
	If you say so.
	I mean, you know, what you're actually doing is you are foreclosing the possibility of any investigation of there ever actually being a racial motive.
	And what was the history between these two kids?
	Well, exactly.
	We don't know yet.
	But, I mean, there doesn't even need to have to be a history.
	I mean, you know, you can decide to murder someone for racist reasons just from looking at them because you see the colour of their skin.
	And we know the rates of...
	Interracial violence are incredibly lopsided.
	Yes, yeah, incredibly skewed.
	So the CRS has been around since the 1960s.
	Its remit was increased, was broadened in the 1990s to include hate crimes against, you know, sex-based discrimination, gender-based discrimination, all that kind of stuff, as well as racial incidents.
	We don't know a great deal about when it's used, but it's...
	We're told that it was used in the aftermath of the Rodney King riots when the police who had beaten Rodney King were on trial.
	And I think the CRS kind of jumped into action and was used to kind of keep tensions down.
	It was used in 2020 during the summer of Floyd as well.
	It was present in Minneapolis when Chauvin was on trial.
	But yeah, the actual workings of the organisation are kind of opaque, but occasionally you actually get a view into what they really do, like in detail.
	So, I mean, I started writing about the CRS at the end of 2023, and at that point they had a case study on their website of the killing of a man called Donald Giusti in a park in Maine.
	And that really lets you see actually what they do.
	What does it actually mean for the CRS to intervene in a situation where a white person has been killed by a non-white person?
	So Donald Giusti was beaten over the head with a rock and kicked to death by a group of Somalis in a park in Lewiston, Maine.
	And there had been very serious tensions within the community for some time because they'd been, I mean, it's like a small town in Maine.
	Like 94% white state.
	You get loads of Somalis pumped in and what happens, you know?
	Apparently they murder someone.
	Yeah. So for weeks beforehand, tensions were rising and then all of a sudden it just explodes one day in the park.
	The local police chief calls in the CRS and what do they do?
	So the website, the case study which was up but is now down, said that the CRS was called in to help ease racial To help ease racial tensions and strengthen community relations.
	Now... Strengthen community relations?
	Sure, well...
	That's a very great euphemistic word.
	Yeah, I mean, so this is the thing.
	I mean, all the website, all the language on the website is totally euphemistic, right?
	Of course, it's bureaucraties, right?
	But we get to see what the peacemaking process actually looks like.
	So, the first thing they do is they get members of Donald Justy's family, his uncle, and his sister...
	To come out and say, please, you know, we want peace, we want calm, we don't want retribution, retaliation, nothing like that.
	We want people to be able to use this park where Don Giuseppe was killed peacefully and to be happy.
	So they both made public statements, a bit like Austin Metcalfe's father.
	And they were both reading from the same script.
	It's very obvious.
	They use the same words, the same emphases, etc.
	So that's one kind of plank of the CRS approach.
	The second thing that they did was they made sure that the man who was identified as the killer actually got off with a nine month sentence.
	Why though?
	They ensured he didn't get...
	What he deserved.
	Didn't get murdered, no, he got, he pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of criminal negligence for stamping a man to death in a park.
	I'm assuming that the logic would be, well, if he was convicted of murder, then it would confirm that this was some kind of motivated assault, which could go back into riling up community tensions.
	Exactly. So that's the, I think that's the logic is that, look, this man can't be convicted.
	Fully for what he's done because that would make the Somalis angry and then there'd be more incidents like this.
	It'd also make you angry at the Somalis.
	Exactly. That's the thing they're trying to avoid.
	We need to try and skirt both edges and keep it down a line.
	But what it basically amounts to is saying that a brutal racial murder doesn't matter.
	It's swept under the carpet and I hate to be the imagine if the boot was on the other foot guy but I mean, can you imagine if a gang of angry guidos, a gang of angry Italian-Americans smashed a Somali over the head?
	I mean, could you imagine what might happen if a man overdosing on fentanyl happened to be being lent on by a police officer as he was dying and caught on camera doing so?
	Yeah. It's this moral debt that's not being paid that is the real crime.
	So this is the best documented instance of what the CRS does.
	But actually, when you know that this is what the CRS does, then a lot of things start to make more sense.
	America has a taxpayer-funded government department enforcing liberal progressivism at any cost.
	But really, I would say, actually enforcing anti-white racism.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And this is part and parcel, actually, with all the DEI programs, with affirmative action, with all of the indoctrination, now the anti-racism training that children have from basically from from kindergarten, you know.
	So it's part of it.
	It's part of a broader kind of structure, I think, of anti-white racism in American government.
	But like I say, you know, things start to make sense.
	So you see in a new light, for example, the.
	You remember this?
	I wish my son had been killed by an old white guy instead of a...
	Well, he wasn't a Haitian.
	No, it's the thing.
	Because they say his death has been used to spread hate towards migrants.
	It's about, I want to avoid the negative characterization of a group that has, whether we like to admit it or not, taken on a kind of moral debt for their crime against another group.
	That's, again, the liberal mind has real trouble dealing with collective guilt.
	But I'm sorry, the human soul feels it.
	And that's what all of this is about.
	And what's particularly interesting about Aidan Clark's father is that this was during the election campaign, right?
	This was when, after Captive Dreamer...
	Oh, yeah, yeah, the Springfield and with all of the Haitians.
	Yeah, the 50,000 or 20,000 Haitians eating the cats.
	And, yeah, so, I mean, this was a live political issue, and it was a winning issue for Trump in the end, I think.
	And so that makes the likelihood that actually, I think that's exactly what they did.
	They went and they spoke to the father and they said, look, would you say something about the politicisation of your child's murder?
	Whether they wrote him a script or whether they just sat down and talked to him and said, you know, maybe it would be good if you said this, we don't know.
	It's always the same script, though.
	You're spreading hate towards this group.
	That group.
	Just killed someone that you know and love.
	Right, and again, it's...
	I wonder what they hang over these people's heads to get them to comply with this.
	I bet what they say is, well, look, you don't want race rights, do you?
	You don't want this community being targeted by the white community, do you?
	I also think that there's just an element of basic psychology.
	Like, if you think about the Milgram experiments, the Stanley Milgram experiments, the electroshock experiments, right?
	You put someone in a room and you tell them to administer electric shocks to somebody that could potentially kill them.
	They don't know whether it's real or not.
	And then you bring in someone with a lab coat and they say, okay, keep cranking it, keep cranking it.
	And because the person's in a lab coat and they look like they're an
	expert, the ordinary person tends to do it.
	I think there's an element actually where it's just these people turn up and people are like, okay, I've got to go along with this.
	I've got to go along with this.
	There's the glare of the national and even international media.
	And we've got these people, these nice people,
	And you're particularly vulnerable.
	Yeah, and I think white people generally are more trusting of the government maybe than...
	They should be.
	And they should be, and certainly than other groups.
	But there's some good news, at least, which is that the CRS actually appears to be on its way out.
	So we've got big purges across the US government.
	This was announced very quietly, and it was announced quietly, actually, because people just don't know about the CRS.
	Yeah, I've never heard of it.
	Yeah, that's the interesting thing, is that people just don't know that this department even exists.
	But it does.
	So there's a memo circulating.
	It's been marked for closure.
	I think it's part and parcel disclosure of Trump's broader assault actually on the kind of edifice of anti-white racism within the US government, within the education system, etc.
	I think that's how it should be seen and I'm sure that's how people in the Trump admin are probably probably...conceiving of this, but it would be nice before the agency is disbanded, actually, if we had some kind of investigation of what it does and if it's actually brought to light.
	This is what this department, this agency has been doing and this is how they've been doing it.
	It would be nice to know which cases were they involved in and what did they do.
	I'd love a full disclosure of all of the major incidents that they were involved in covering up.
	Yeah, I mean, I think you would...
	Discover that actually it's been working overtime all across the US.
	Small cases that never make it into the media or barely make it into the media.
	Which judges have they been talking to?
	How were they able to alter the sentencing of murderers and rapists and violent criminals?
	It's something that needs to have the lid blown off it, I think.
	But what's interesting, of course, is that this...
	This isn't confined to the US.
	So this kind of shaping of public opinion in the face of negative events, in the face of violent events that have the potential, I think, to cause spectacular blowback and public outrage and maybe even riots,
	that kind of thing, we actually see that across the Western world.
	And in the UK, it's called...
	Well, one of the things it's called is Controlled Spontaneity, and there was a great piece that revealed what Controlled Spontaneity is in, I think, yeah, in sort of 2017, 2018, 2019 actually, sorry, on the website Middle East Eye.
	So I actually wrote about Controlled Spontaneity, and here's what I...
	The sinister activities of organisations like the Community Relations Service fit into a wider pattern of manipulation of public opinion in the West, especially in response to the more violent negative effects of mass migration and demographic change.
	Back in 29, the website Middle East Eye reported on a form of government planning dubbed Controlled Spontaneity in the UK, which had been devised specifically in preparation for terrorist attacks.
	The basic idea behind controlled spontaneity is for the government to shape and direct public opinion and emotion in ways that prevent disorder when an atrocity occurs.
	This includes everything from pre-selecting hashtags and images to circulate on social media to encourage members of the victims'families to make public statements
	...and staging apparently unprompted gestures of love and support at the site of the incident, such as people handing out flowers or posters with saccharine messages on them.
	Or breaking out into spontaneous performances of Oasis.
	Exactly, yes.
	She just happened to be a woman who was an actor.
	The thing I hate about all of that, though, is that essentially what it's saying to the community that has committed the atrocity is you don't have to change.
	That's the real issue.
	Because the social function of this is a kind of broad-scale negotiation.
	...that instructs the inferior community that has much smaller numbers and lives in the country at the pleasure of the majority community how to live with them, right?
	And what the government is doing here is artificially inserting itself into this cultural negotiation and preventing the corrective that needs to occur.
	Now, I'm not saying it's just or good or liberal or anything like that, but I think it is very human and I think that this is...
	Honestly, a deeply artificial state of affairs.
	See, for me, it's far worse than that.
	It's showing that the government go into this, go into the mass migration with the knowledge and understanding that these people will, by their presence, end up committing atrocities.
	Our job as the government is not to prevent them committing atrocities, only to manage But also you can see how the doctrine of human rights has been morphed from the people against the state to the minority against the majority.
	The entire point of the doctrine of human rights now is to protect minority rights from the interests of the majority.
	I will never forgive John Stuart Mill for coining the tyranny of the majority.
	But what's interesting is the tyranny of the majority.
	The tyranny of the majority is justice.
	The tyranny of the majority is seeking the truth about crime.
	I mean, that's an interesting redefinition, isn't it?
	Also, the demand that you live conformable to our rules and our society.
	Yeah, if you consider that tyranny, go home.
	Well, quite.
	So, I mean...
	Once you actually know what to look for, you see recognisable elements of Controlled Spontaneity everywhere.
	Basically in every Western country.
	So, you know, you'll see it with the attacks on Christmas markets in Berlin, in Germany.
	You'll see it with the Batter Clan.
	There was similar stuff.
	There was stuff to do with Charlie Hebdo.
	There was the Nottingham murders as well.
	And even the Christchurch Mosque.
	Shootings, Brenton Town in New Zealand.
	You know, it's like it's a playbook.
	It's like it's a playbook that just keeps being deployed by Western governments.
	And I mean, I'm sure you know as well, what they've done since the pandemic is they've drawn on the evidence of the pandemic, too, on the massive amounts of behavioral data that they have from the pandemic to understand how they can nudge people in particular directions, what they can expect people's responses to be to particular government initiatives.
	I mean, it's deeply, deeply sinister.
	It's deeply sinister.
	And more people need to know about it, of course.
	But here's my conclusion from the piece I wrote.
	It was for Human Events in 2023.
	Our governments, as a matter of course, manipulate us to prevent us from grasping the realities of the problems we face.
	They have their script and they want us to keep
	Um... Um...
	There are lots of comments, so in the interest of time, I'm just going to go through quickly.
	Russian says, I have compassion for every human being.
	Son's father.
	Literally the heat map.
	That's a great point.
	The heat map explains so much.
	It really does.
	Christian forgiveness does not mean forgoing punishment.
	Nope. I actually saw a sword, an executioner's sword from the 1600s going around on Twitter.
	In Latin, it's written on it, I send this sinner to heaven or something like that.
	Bald Eagle points out that self-defense does not apply because there was zero lethal force from one side, so it negates the legal use of lethal force in defense.
	And Akral says, Ren is wrong in this case.
	Tim Pool always supports the rights to self-defense.
	It's not always popular to do so.
	I would urge him to look up what Tim Pool said about Kyle Rittenhouse.
	I'll have to look that up.
	I didn't realize Tim was against Kyle Rittenhouse.
	Yeah, I believe very much he was.
	Yeah, I do.
	Anyway, let's move on.
	So... In Britain at the moment, there is a profound understanding that is boiling to the surface and is slowly being revealed to our political class that they don't know why men don't feel enfranchised in the society that we have.
	And this was brought to a head with the show Adolescence, which is based on several different events.
	And so it's not really that important which events it's based on because they consider it to be an amalgamation of events.
	But the narrative around adolescence is that a young man is radicalized by Andrew Tate and the Manosphere.
	What have you done?
	I don't think I...
	No. I refuse.
	I refuse.
	That's not what the story shows.
	What the story shows is a woman begins cyberbullying a young girl, begins getting a group of her friends together, cyberbullies a young man, ritually humiliates him on Instagram, and then he goes to confront her.
	She pushes him to the floor.
	He gets up and then stabs her to death, right?
	So it's not the same story that we're being shown from the media.
	But this is being treated as if...
	It doesn't matter.
	And then the father in the last episode is struggling to understand why this has happened.
	Well, a lot of people are, and they're all trying to figure out exactly what the problem is here.
	It's difficult to watch it and not come away from it with sympathy for the boy who murdered the girl because he is trapped in this feminine-dominated system where he is...
	They show that the school is terrible.
	It's run by...
	Absolute slackers.
	There's a police officer investigating this and he comes away from it going, I hate this school.
	I hate this system.
	The young boy is placed in, not a prison, but they could only find space in a mental institution or something.
	So when he's processed by the woman who's the psychiatrist, she's talking to one of the guards and he's like, yeah, I hate my job.
	I hate this.
	I hate where I am.
	All you see is hate for the civilization that they live in.
	And it's all the final phase of the Blairite paradigm.
	Everything is terrible.
	Nobody knows anything.
	Nobody knows why they're doing what they're doing.
	And it's causing...
	Apparently, young men to go mental.
	So the media class who are so eager for people to watch this, do you reckon they're facing some cognitive dissonance or do they just think that depicting these men as not liking the end of history is enough to condemn them by?
	Well, what's interesting is that the young boy actively rejects Andrew Tate in the Manosphere in the show.
	The psychiatrist is trying to put on him the feminist media narrative of, well, this is interesting.
	He's like, no, I don't believe in all that stuff.
	They bring up the 80-20 thing where 80% of the women want 20% of the men.
	Hypergamy. Yeah, hypergamy.
	And the boy rejects that.
	He says, no, I don't think that's true.
	And he says he's not into the Andrew Tate manifesto.
	What this was, was him being bullied and essentially an extreme reaction to it.
	And in the show, what you're shown is the kids in the school don't cooperate with the cops because they feel complicit in the murder.
	Because they know they were bullying him and driving him to the edge.
	And so when he confronts her finally, they feel that they're part of the issue, right?
	And again, honestly, I recommend watching it.
	But don't watch it...
	In the way that they're trying to make you watch it, trying to spin the narrative to it.
	actually just watch what you're seeing and you realise that, I mean, I don't even know if the authors of the piece understand what they've put to film.
	I always wonder why shows like this end up having those extra readings that you can have that are actually plainly there in the text and not even subtext.
	I wonder if it's just cognitive
	Maybe? Well, I mean, he's worked with Hope Not Hate, hasn't he?
	Yes. So it's not that he's based or something.
	So I wonder if it's just that writers are always taught that, oh, you need to make even your villains nuanced, and they go overboard in making them nuanced to the point where they accidentally make them compelling and sympathetic.
	I don't know.
	I mean, the thing is, it's difficult to portray our current civilization with any great amount of sympathy, right?
	Everything is bad, and they know it's bad, and so the struggle that our political class has had is...
	To try and explain why we should continue down this road.
	Because what adolescence is saying is everything about this is wrong and needs to be changed.
	The school is terrible.
	The teachers are terrible.
	The way the children behave is terrible.
	The lack of rules that they live under is terrible.
	Their access to social media is terrible.
	All of these things are terrible.
	And the people who would normally set the order in society, the fathers, it's the boy's father, Jamie's father, who is left struggling to go...
	How did I go wrong?
	But it's not his fault that things went wrong.
	He's shown in the thing to be the most doting and affectionate father.
	He instantly believes his son, when his son says, I didn't do it, he says, that's fine then, son.
	We'll be okay.
	And when it's shown on CCTV that he did do it, the father is, of course, devastated, but all of the institutions are set up to withdraw his parental authority.
	As a father.
	And so the father is left at the end one, just on his son's bed, just crying.
	What could I have done differently?
	And the answer is, he couldn't.
	He was as good a father as could be expected.
	And so you see him starting to lose his marbles.
	And it's like, okay, but what adolescence is doing is condemning our entire civilization.
	Returning to an outright abject patriarchy.
	Would be better for everyone involved than what adolescence is showing in modern Britain.
	And it's kind of crazy how I think that what they feel...
	See, I wonder actually whether they actually think that the system is a patriarchy and that what they're actually depicting is a patriarchy.
	I don't think they do.
	No, no.
	What I think...
	How many of the authority figures depicted in the show are male or female?
	And how does the show tend to depict...
	Then, positively or negatively, that would be a good way of trying to...
	The show isn't actually...
	I mean, a lot of them are female.
	A lot of them are female.
	There's that scene with the psychiatrist as well that's...
	I've been doing the rounds.
	Various teachers in the schools are women.
	But the male teachers are all totally feckless.
	They're totally useless.
	And the teachers have no authority.
	So you can hear them yelling at the students for having their phones, but there's no punishment.
	One of the kids backchats one of the teachers.
	There's no punishment.
	They tell the teacher, F off.
	I can't even imagine the weight of the tonnage of...
	Punishment that would have come down on me in school, from my own dad, if nothing else, if I'd told one of my teachers to F off, right?
	And yet they show that nothing happens.
	And so you've got the two main men in it are the police officer who has a son at that school and the father of the boy who did the murder.
	And they're both quite sympathetic and they both essentially come to the same conclusion that this system sucks and is bad.
	And there's so much going on as well.
	In the police officer's father, son, when he goes to the school, he's trying to figure out why the kids won't cooperate with him, and...
	His son goes, look, Dad, you don't understand the communication that is happening here.
	So he gets Instagram and shows them a bunch of the communications, and he's like, well, they're just being friendly towards each other.
	He's like, no, look at the emojis.
	There's loads and loads of information contained in the emojis that you don't understand that is actually where the cyberbullying is taking place.
	They're basically saying he's an incel and blah, blah, blah.
	So what the actual...
	The actual substance on that is that the narrative of adolescence about Andrew Tate and incels is that this narrative is used as a weapon against teenage boys.
	It's used to bully the boys.
	He wasn't into Andrew Tate.
	Their obsession with Andrew Tate and red pill and incel and all that is being used as a cudgel against him.
	And of course, he's 13, right?
	And he's 13, yeah.
	It's ridiculous.
	How many 13-year-olds aren't incels?
	Exactly. Every 13-year-old is an incel, right?
	But this is the point.
	The whole thing is actually, the narrative that you see on the TV is actually completely back to front.
	And I think it's because what these people are, and if you look at, like, you know, this is just an example of BBC Breakfast, right?
	These are all beneficiaries of the system, right?
	You have the domestic man, you have the girl boss, you have our foreign...
	...woman who's been put in charge of the Conservative Party, and now they have to explain why this show is scaring them.
	And they don't really know.
	And so they have an obsession about this show.
	And I'll save playing the clip just because you can see it in the text there, right?
	But they are genuinely upset and offended, and they keep coming back to this, that Kemi Badenoch has not watched this show.
	Because for them, and the reason that Keir Starmer calls it documentary is because it is really very representative of modern Britain, of all of the systemic failures that we see from the people in authority.
	And they, as people in authority, are saying, they're going, well...
	Aren't you worried that this is going to happen?
	And Kemmy Badenock's just like, no, I'm going around the country talking to people.
	I don't want to, I don't have to watch a Netflix show to find out what's going on.
	But they keep bringing it up in a really bizarre and kind of like it's a tick because this is something that sits in the back of their minds.
	In their social circles, given how shielded they'll be from everything, I suppose this is probably absorbing their information through fiction is the closest thing they have to a reality.
	I mean, maybe, but that's not the, I don't think that's the thing that underpins the issue, which is, Adolescence is a direct critique of them, right?
	And they don't really know how to handle it.
	And what it's saying is, you have no room in your frame of reference for not only the fathers, who are powerless to actually be able to do the things they used to do to prevent...
	Young boys from going off the rails, right?
	I mean, the father is completely, he has no idea.
	Jamie's dad has no idea what's going on on Instagram, and the cop doesn't either, and the boy has to explain to him, look, you don't understand this communication, right?
	So the fathers are now taken out of this.
	Because, I mean, previously, it would have been visual communication, right?
	You would have watched people dealing with one another, and the father would come in with his presence, authority, and much deeper booming voice, and would have settled the problem there and then.
	That's taken away.
	That can't happen on the internet, right?
	Well, they don't know.
	They don't know what to do with the young men who could just suddenly pull out a knife and just stab a girl to death.
	And that's a terrible consideration.
	So it's like, okay, so what's the problem?
	Well, the problem is the paradigm itself.
	You can't point to, oh, Andrew Tate did this.
	No, he didn't.
	Andrew Tate is a symptom of this, not the cause of this.
	And so what adolescence has revealed to us, and what they essentially are desperately trying to avoid talking about, is that they have to change.
	What adolescence is demanding of them is that they have to give up their power and restore it to fathers.
	And this is why I'm genuinely surprised that nobody on our side of the thing has been watching this.
	And everyone assumed, oh, this is just an attack on white men.
	it's like in a way it's kind of a massive defense of us and we we actually should really leverage this i actually did an interview uh for gb news that's coming out on saturday in which i'm saying many of these things and uh apparently they really enjoyed it so uh we'll see how
	that goes if they if they ever actually release this but anyway so the point is people are uh focusing on the kind of superficial things about this but it shows the paucity of
	I mean, there are lots of memes, obviously.
	It's like, why are these people so obsessed with adolescence?
	What's going on?
	Why are they making me watch adolescence?
	What's the charge?
	Not watching adolescence.
	What are you in for?
	I didn't watch adolescence.
	This is all totally true.
	But there are also those people, this was from the Telegraph, but it's on Yahoo for some reason.
	So, you know, menopausal women.
	Okay, yeah, good point.
	I actually don't know what any of this means.
	Like, Suzanne Moore here, I don't know what fatherhood is, because I don't know what dads actually do.
	But obviously you see the adolescence.
	But you've spent decades railing against men.
	You know exactly what you think fatherhood is.
	It's incredibly disingenuous.
	But I wouldn't expect anything else from Susan Moore.
	What's her relationship with her father like?
	Well, she was raised by a single mother.
	She says in the piece.
	Imagine my shock.
	Oh my goodness.
	But she literally says, you know, and it's all framed around adolescence because this is the brain worm they have all got in their heads because they don't understand what this is about.
	Because the mother and the father, they're very good parents.
	So how could a young boy turn into a murderer?
	Well, because actually there's a lot more on the other side.
	He's actually the victim of what's happened.
	I mean, I suppose I haven't watched it, but it sounds to me like perhaps there's an angle to say, well, is the father a good father?
	Oh, yeah.
	Is he too feminine in his relationship?
	He's very masculine.
	Is he?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So what's great is the father, as you can see, in fact, very, very chunky dude, right?
	And in the final episode, After the kid's been sent to wherever he's been sent, these juvenile offenders or whatever it is, the other people in their neighborhood are harassing them.
	And like, you know, some kid's spraying nonce on his van.
	And he finds the kids following them.
	They go to the shop to get it off.
	And he's just like throwing these kids around.
	Like, but it's...
	No, but you can totally see where...
	No, no, no, they're 17, right?
	So they're teenage boys who are playing up and are like, well, we can just harass this guy because this is a big drama on the estate.
	No one's going to come to his defense.
	And so he's just throwing them around and you can see he's moments away from just pummeling the hell out of them.
	And honestly, I'd be the same.
	I'd be the same if these little shits were like, you know...
	So the father is completely masculine, and what it's showing is that he's trapped in a system where he can't exercise those masculine urges.
	Well, I suppose because, more broadly speaking, his masculine role ends with him.
	There's no extension.
	It doesn't spread out into the wider community.
	His masculine power as father isn't invested in the teachers.
	That's exactly right.
	And so it shows that in this feminine system, there is no role for the father and the father can't be expected to do the things that fathers used to do.
	And so you get Suzanne Moore going, well, I mean, this is about adolescence, isn't it?
	This is about the manosphere and their role in role models and knife crime and all this.
	And then she starts getting onto the blight of fatherlessness.
	And it's like, okay, but that's not what adolescence shows.
	He has a father.
	He's got a very happy and normal function.
	Right? And so she's just going on about, you know, but in adolescence he didn't have a fatherless family, so what's going on?
	Well, what's interesting about that, I suppose, is that when we think about knife crime in the UK, we tend to think about a particular community.
	And they do tend to have a large proportion of fatherlessness, and that's generally put forward as the explanation for the knife crime for the playing out.
	And that's where she goes with this.
	She ends up going, well, why are there so many single mothers in Britain?
	Why don't men want to be fathers?
	Why isn't there any stigma?
	That would be racist, Suzanne, basically, is the reason.
	You would complain that that was racist if we were to stigmatize that.
	And so she ends up going on and saying, well, look, I mean, maybe we're just expecting too much of one another.
	It's like, really?
	Really? Like, for all of humanity's history, we've had mothers and fathers looking after their children, and everything was fine, and we didn't have to worry about a spate of knife crimes.
	Suddenly we arrive in the feminine Blairite system, and everyone's like, well, how can we stop boys killing women?
	It's like, yeah, we didn't have to worry about this, actually.
	And so you've got Suzanne's total bewilderment, and this entire article is just her asking the same question.
	It's like, what do men do?
	What do men do?
	What do men do?
	It's like, you don't know, and you can't...
	Without men's ability to exercise their social power over their sons, you are going to be perennially in this position where you're worried that young men will just start murdering young women, right?
	It is the authority of the father that prevents this, and when you rescind this authority...
	Okay, well, you've opened up Pandora's box.
	You've opened up a whole can of worms.
	Who knows what the future looks like for you?
	I'm not surprised you're afraid.
	And then you've got the other side of this, which is Zoe Strimple.
	Again, both of the Telegraph, right?
	Young white men do have problems, but they need to man up.
	I knew her at Cambridge.
	Oh, God.
	I'm sorry to hear that.
	Yeah. So, her perspective is just...
	I mean, it's far worse than Suzanne...
	I don't think anybody is.
	It's far worse than Suzanne Moore's, because hers is just, well, young women were oppressed for all of human history, and so now men are being oppressed by the matriarchy.
	Don't they just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
	Don't they just need to man up and deal with it?
	And it's like, okay, but...
	Olay, so incredibly lazy and disingenuous.
	It's not just incredibly lazy and disingenuous.
	I mean, it is both of those things, of course.
	It's more than that.
	What it is, is completely heartless.
	Which is saying, no, yeah, I know you've got problems.
	But tough.
	These are the problems that the feminine order is going to impose on you.
	And you just have to deal with that.
	And it's like, okay, well, look.
	Didn't you think that there is going to come a time where young men say, yeah, I agree.
	These are the problems that the feminine order has put upon me, and it's completely unsympathetic to that.
	And so maybe I am exactly as radically right-wing as you think I might be.
	And we're already seeing that with the Zoomers, especially in the United States, where they're more far right than their grandfathers.
	So yeah, this is what you're going to create, is a bunch of young men like, no, I need my dad to be in charge.
	That's what they're asking.
	I want my dad to have the authority.
	I don't want the government to have the authority.
	I don't want some school mom to have the authority.
	I don't want to be processed by some woman, some childless middle-aged woman, who's going to sit there and interrogate me as if I'm a young girl, because I'm not.
	You don't understand me.
	This system is set up to crush me.
	They will go this far.
	And if your only response is, well, just man up.
	Oh, they will.
	They absolutely will.
	And you're not going to like the way that looks.
	The Zuma Reich will come if this is your attitude.
	What does that even mean?
	The truth is that masculinity has always been in crisis.
	Well, she does actually go on...
	It sounds clever.
	Yeah, she says, well, this has always been the case with masculinity.
	But, I mean, obviously, that's not always been the case.
	Well, it's like men have always been this fragile, right?
	It's like the Crusades, you know, like, that was penis anxiety, right?
	Yeah, yeah, clearly.
	Colonisation, we were just jealous.
	Penis anxiety.
	I mean, it's just like the small penis theory of history.
	Vladimir Putin has a small penis.
	Trump has a small penis.
	Hitler, you know, had an obsession with his niece and, you know, did strange sexual things.
	I mean, it's just like, it's the worst kind of debased Freudianism, I think, is what it actually is, in part.
	It's like this kind of crap that people say at the dinner table at a dinner party, where they're like, they have this, you know, stupid theory of history.
	They've never thought through, they couldn't tell you where they got it, it's just been given to them by cultural osmosis and they think they're ever so clever.
	And doing an MA in gender studies at Cambridge.
	The thing is, she literally just comes out and says, no, young men should be oppressed and we're going to oppress them.
	She says, the idea that if we don't give them all a big cultural and social hug, they'll commit violence and become arsonists and misogynists isn't good enough.
	Why can't we expect them to become decent, hard-working people, even in tough circumstances?
	Totally unsympathetic.
	It's like, okay, that's fine.
	Trust me, they're not going to live with this.
	They're going to go very far right.
	This is a woman who's forgotten that women only have rights because men let them.
	This is the kind of opinion that you're going to end up getting in response.
	But it's a fact.
	What are rights other than things, privileges that have been won for you through force?
	Who enforces force?
	But the point being...
	Starship Troopers mode.
	Mr. Radshack mode.
	The point being, they have no idea why this is something in the back of their mind.
	They can't shake it.
	They're completely unsympathetic to the problems that they've created.
	And they will completely confuse all sides of the issue.
	Anything that they think is the manosphere can be...
	Completely merged into the same thing.
	I see them everywhere.
	For some reason on The National, I was considered to be an example of a pick-up artist.
	You wrote that book, The Game, didn't you?
	Peacocking? Rational male, that was God.
	That was actually brought up.
	Leo Strauss or Neil Strauss?
	So, for some reason, he comes up just before me, and I'm just...
	Like, okay, whatever.
	I had a bit of a back and forth on Twitter with the author of this.
	And she was just completely contemptuous in the response.
	And it was the most remarkable kind of mixing up of things.
	Because, of course, you know, I've never...
	I've been a pick-up artist.
	I've never made any sort of content regarding it.
	I don't look like I'm looks-maxing.
	I look like I'm a tired, married dad who just wants the world to be a little better than it was yesterday.
	I'm not one of these...
	Don't put yourself down so much, Carl.
	I appreciate that, but unironically, this is nonsense, and they don't know what they're doing.
	That's the thing.
	They have no knowledge of the...
	The thing that they're creating underneath their order.
	And this is what it all comes back to with adolescents.
	They are afraid that they are breeding a monster, which they are.
	What? You as a pick-up artist, in my mind, I've got the perfect...
	I know what your opening line would be in the club.
	She'd be standing there, minding her own business.
	You'd lean in.
	Have you ever read Locke?
	No, I was going to say, do you play Warhammer?
	Oh, okay.
	Anyway, this, I think, underpins all of this, and is why they are so obsessed with the adolescents.
	I think they know that they're breeding a monster, and I haven't seen any of them being sympathetic to that yet, and I think that they're really worried that this is going to come back and bite them in the rear.
	Alright, I think we've got a few Rumble rants from that.
	If you want to go for it, I think it's Hewitt onwards.
	50% of the country don't have Netflix subscriptions.
	It's easy to propagandize something that a significant chunk of the population hasn't seen.
	That's true, but they're going to make it so that it's freely available.
	So there will be...
	But the thing is, I'm actually completely in favor of it.
	Because there is...
	Honestly, go and watch it.
	There is such a good argument that this is actually a deeply right-wing...
	The question, though, of course, is whether people are going to get an unfiltered access to it, or whether they will then have their teacher sit down and say, have you been watching Andrew Tate?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Whether they'll overlay the kind of interpretation on top, which I would imagine they will.
	Of course they will.
	J.M. Denton says, the void from the cults of COVID and Floyd has drifted, now that all that energy is in promoting adolescence.
	but there is, adolescence speaks to something deeper in their minds.
	OPH UK says, libtards may be just so afraid of this show because they've indoctrinated their own kids into feral little cultists who might stab someone for misgendering their gerbil or cracking a joke at Greta's expense.
	No, that's not it.
	They're worried that something outside of their control will spring up and it will be an authentic sort of, sort of Thermidorian reaction with right-wing youth where they just overthrow them and just,
	Well, it's like even, you know, like a film like Joker.
	that Joker exactly became something else and so they had to make Joker foliadeur where Joker gets raped in prison yeah what's gonna happen in adolescence too no no but it's the same fear that Joker caused because remember in 2019 when Joker came out not before he's in that the like oh my god this is an incel
	movie it's gonna inspire incel terrorism right they were literally saying well that's adolescence is
	Joker made from their perspective.
	Whereas Joker is the story told from the man's perspective.
	Adolescence is told from the other perspective.
	That's a great, great comparison.
	The Engaged View says, anyone who has seen Shadow Craven in person knows the only way Kyle is picking her up with a crane.
	I'm not making personal attacks.
	And OPS UK says, woman husbandry, another pimp knowledge, Kyle Benjamin, number one eBay bestseller, opening 1999.
	Missing out on some money here, clearly.
	There you go.
	Let's go through the video comments while we've still got some time then.
	Today, I will sign an executive order requiring every American to subscribe to Wordsmith Productions on Subscribestar and Patreon.
	They're good guys, the very best guys, and they deserve your support.
	Make writing great again.
	Amen.
	You heard the God Emperor.
	Follow us on Patreon and Twitter at wordsmithproductions.
	All for business inquiries, contact us at staff at wordsmithproductions.co.uk There you go, folks.
	You heard the man.
	Good morning, Lotus Eaters.
	I wanted to focus more of this video toward the mountains I saw, snow showing up to Peekaboo Lake.
	Once you charge through the snow to the top of the mountain, through clearings in the trees, you can see the snow-capped peaks on nearby ridges.
	My picture didn't turn out so good, but you could even see glacier-covered Mount Baker to the north.
	I plan on climbing all these mountains, excluding Baker, this summer and fall after the snow's mostly melted.
	Finally making it down to the lake, had a quick lunch, and dragged myself back to the truck.
	Hope you guys are having a good week so far.
	I'm good, man, but that looks like prime Bigfoot habitat, so be careful.
	That's gorgeous, though.
	That looks beautiful.
	It does.
	I asked ChatGPT to render the robo-waifu in the style of Studio Ghibli, and the results are endearing.
	The AI even wanted to make a comic book page, so I let it.
	It seems capable of coming up with simple stories, but I did not have any luck with comic pages featuring more than one subject.
	I mean, to be fair, that AI stuff is really impressive at the moment.
	Yeah. Well, that Trump video, the Trump-Arvath, I mean, that's, yeah.
	Yeah, it's incredible.
	The adolescence nonsense.
	I find myself thinking about the movie Reefer Madness.
	It's a comedy about a school showing a bunch of parents this government-made PSA about the dangers of marijuana.
	Basically, it says it's going to turn your kids into sex-crazed, criminal, super-muted cannibals.
	Where's the lie?
	And then, you know, the parents run amok and have a moral panic and, you know, do mass book burnings and call for censorship.
	Ironic that they're supposed to be attacking conservatives in that movie, but looking at what's happened in England, it doesn't seem like they're the ones that are causing this problem.
	Oh.
	I mean, I've not watched that.
	Conservatives don't have the cultural power to enact a moral panic.
	Thank you.
	Looks nice too.
	And that's what I need as well.
	It's not just girls.
	Alright then, let's go through some of the written comments.
	Yeah. Omar says, Labour have obviously gotten tired of not getting their cut.
	Drug and human trafficking isn't a problem, but we've got to tax black holes, Phil.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Honestly, it's probably economic.
	What was it, a £20 billion black hole?
	£22 billion.
	Sorry, sorry.
	So we're going to have to do a lot more drug and human trafficking.
	Yeah. Stuart says, there are no drug-running gangs.
	Please stop mislabelling drug-running brain surgeons, neuroscientists and professors.
	Diversity is their strength.
	Roman Observer says, so Britain having so many Turkish barbers is depriving Turkey of cultural heritage.
	Yeah, how many...
	I mean, it would if they weren't all Kurds.
	Yeah, I was going to say, you know, Turkey surely doesn't have this many.
	Fodder says, I've been working for a decade as an engineer, barely spend money other than the essentials, and I have no chance of starting my own business yet.
	These people fresh off the boat can open a business in every other shop.
	Yeah, the secret ingredient is crime.
	Matt says, What would happen if halal meat was banned in Britain?
	Well... Many of the Muslims would go home.
	Things would improve overnight.
	Yeah, it wouldn't take very long.
	There'd also be a lot less animal cruelty going on here.
	Yeah, well, there was that terrible story about the halal slaughterers.
	They were playing, what was it, a wolf, a howling wolf.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And they were just carving it up before it was even dead.
	Disgusting. It was awful.
	Lars says, if the property is used for trafficking, then shouldn't they be seized?
	Yeah, and if they're paid for with ill-gotten gains, shouldn't they be seized?
	And if they're employing a load of illegal immigrants, shouldn't they be seized and kicked out?
	Justin says, Tim isn't on the stabber's side.
	He's just saying that until the case is adjudicated, we don't know all the facts.
	He thinks that he should have been allowed to have a knife.
	It falls under the Second Amendment, after all.
	There are conflicting reports on whether the victim touched him, pushed him, or grabbed him, which could give the stabber a self-defense argument.
	Not that it was actually self-defense.
	Also, he's saying that he thinks the police are overcharging the stabber.
	First-degree murder.
	He planned to do it, so he thinks the stabber is likely to get off.
	The father, though, sounds like he's being coerced into it.
	Don't look back at anger and all that.
	Yeah, I mean, that's fair.
	Like I said, I haven't watched the episode.
	I don't watch anything because I haven't got any bloody time, so I have no idea what Tim said on it.
	Devin says, not sure about how masculine or sympathetic the father in adolescence actually is.
	Could it be that Stephen Graham has given himself a good and flattering role?
	No, no, the father is, he's the one taking responsibility for the family, right?
	It's just that his authority ends at the boundaries of their house.
	And so, and then you see the system Interacting with him.
	And the father is just...
	He has...
	They don't extend, like you were saying, patriarchal authority.
	They extend matriarchal authority.
	But it's the kind of, you know, the abstract woman-centered system rather than the family being brought into it as well.
	So, no, the father is a good example of a good father, actually.
	And that's what made it quite difficult for me to watch.
	So it was just like you can feel the impotence that the father feels in the system.
	There's nothing he could have done differently because he did everything right.
	Dan says masculinity has always been in crisis.
	Sounds like we've always been at war.
	Yes, we are.
	Well, thank you all very much for watching, and be sure to join us in about half an hour for Lad's Hour, where Dan will be showing us a load of old adverts.
	So that should be fun.
