	Good afternoon and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Cedars episode 1311.
	I'm Harry joined today by Stelios and returning guest and friend of the show Leo who for some reason is on our screens right now.
	Leo is everywhere.
	I don't know why.
	Samson, why is Leo on us?
	It's like walking in a curry.
	You know when you walk into an electronics shop and it has the camera that shows you in the window, you know?
	Yeah, this is the mass surveillance state.
	Tony Blair is hacked into our systems right now.
	This is live from Oracle in collaboration with Palantir.
	Now we've just got a white screen.
	Are we seeing the great beyond right now?
	Doesn't really matter.
	I don't know what you at home can see.
	As long as you can hear us.
	My dads.
	They can't see it.
	As long as you can hear us, that's all right.
	We'll get the message out.
	Yeah.
	And today we're going to be talking about Scotland, specifically Glasgow, not being Scottish anymore.
	The British, that being you and me, being abused tax slaves and how they lied us into that position.
	Although that's been the position for a long time.
	And Stelius is going to walk us through Zuma LuxMaxes.
	Yeah, so I'm three years at Lotus Cedars to the day.
	Oh, it's a lot of December of 2022.
	And I want to thank you very much.
	And I wanted to do something special today.
	I wanted it to be cringe, but funny, but it ended up being something completely different.
	So I had no control.
	So we're going to take a real moral message from you.
	Absolutely.
	Brilliant.
	Is Harry Lux maxing right now?
	No.
	No, I am not.
	Slob maxing right now.
	He's soft maxing.
	I'm rough maxing.
	I heard about trans maxing.
	This is when Zoomers were transitioning to get all the advantages of being a woman.
	Yeah, they thought that they would get the advantages of being a woman, and they thought having to be pounded by Chads was just like something they would have to accept on the side.
	At least it's a mute, like it's physical touch and emotion that I can share with someone.
	Anyway, talk us through Glasgow, Leo.
	So basically, Glasgow, they've done a survey, and almost a third of kids at school in Glasgow don't speak English as a first language.
	They're not native English speakers.
	And there's going to be a lot of people out there being like, oh, that's funny.
	Surely no Scottish people speak English.
	We do speak a funny version of English.
	But yeah, everybody in Scotland speaks English.
	All this talk of, you know, there's been people talking on Twitter about like, well, some of them would be Gaelic speakers, whatever.
	It's like, I'm from Scotland.
	I've met people who can speak Gaelic maybe twice in my life.
	You know, it's not like Ireland where they keep it alive.
	This is like those fakers who try and make, who try and want Wales to go back to speaking Welsh.
	It's never going to catch on.
	Yeah, and there's no point.
	There's no point.
	I can understand, like, if you want to learn to speak Spanish because it's spoken by so many millions of people, if you want to be able to speak Mandarin, because then, you know, in 50 years' time, 20 years' time, when the Chinese robot army comes in and takes over, you can, you know, at least negotiate.
	You can beg for mercy.
	Yeah, you can negotiate a better bunk bed in the gulag.
	But, you know, learning Gaelic, there is no point.
	There is no point unless you're getting some sort of, you know, arts council grant to put on some play that nobody's going to watch.
	But yeah, look at this.
	This graph shows over the last few years.
	If you just scroll down a tiny little bit, you can see the bottom of the graph.
	So this goes back like maybe 20 years.
	And you can see the pale blue in the bottom.
	The whole graph shows the number of kids in primary and secondary schools.
	And the pale blue at the bottom shows how the number that speak English as an additional language has increased like hugely proportionate to the overall number.
	And this is pretty crazy.
	You know, Scotland up until recently was like, what, 96, 97% white?
	Whereas England is about 83, 85, something like that.
	I think so, yeah.
	I mean, Scotland has been preserving its demographics for a much like, it's been much stronger on preserving its own demographics for a much longer time than England was.
	England started like, you know, sh I mean, go back to the early 90s, we were about 95% white English in England, but Scotland has been preserving that up until just like the other year.
	I like how you say Scotland preserved it as if Scotland did anything to preserve it.
	Scotland did it by just default, by being a worse place to be.
	By being somewhere no one wanted to go.
	Worse benefit system.
	If you're coming from the Congo, like you're going to look at like Aberdeen and you're going to be like, maybe I'll stay in London.
	You're already going to have vitamin D deficiency in London.
	Aberdeen, Scotland, the Highlands.
	But this is, man, this is happening across Scotland now.
	So Glasgow is the sort of focus of this, but we're also seeing sort of in 20, 22% of kids at schools have English as an additional language in Edinburgh and in Aberdeen as well.
	So huge numbers of asylum seekers are going to Scotland and people speaking English as an additional language.
	Maybe like 10, 20 years ago, it would have been people from the Eurozone.
	It would have been culturally similar people, people from Christian cultures.
	Now it's people coming from all around the world, Afghanistan, God knows where.
	And so we're talking, you know, radically different cultures.
	So I'm going to get into...
	I have already seen Fraser Nelson.
	Of course.
	Trying to make excuses for this, saying like, oh, well, it's only saying that they speak it as an additional language.
	They probably only speak their native language at home.
	When they're out and about, they speak English.
	They can speak English.
	What's the problem?
	Completely ignoring that.
	Obviously, the problem is that this is an obvious demonstration of demographic change going on in Scotland.
	That is the problem.
	Great, they can speak English, but also they're not from here.
	They're not from compatible cultures with us.
	They'll be coming and they'll be claiming benefits.
	They'll be causing problems, causing all sorts of social strife, as we have seen in England, even though Fraser Nelson just thinks that they are like magical wonder dust that you can sprinkle over an economy and it'll grow 10 times.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They always say, like, Ben Stiller was even saying Somalians built America.
	And it's like, well, it was nice of them to build America before they built Somalia.
	You know, we're still waiting for this magical resurgence of Somalia, the skyscrapers to rise out of the desert.
	You know what?
	What do you mean, Wakanda?
	Yeah, oh, what they could have achieved if it wasn't for white people stopping them.
	But yeah, Glasgow is now the asylum capital of the UK.
	If we go to the next tab, you can see the proportionate, and just scroll down a tiny little bit.
	You can see this is Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London.
	So this is the rate per 10,000 population of supported asylum seekers and housed asylum seekers.
	These are people who are pretty much living at the taxpayers' expense.
	There's obviously a huge amount of legal migration as well, family reunion, all that sort of stuff.
	And the legal stuff is, frankly, kind of as concerning because even though people are following the correct processes, it's like the numbers are just insane.
	And when you have really rapid numbers, rapid increases, then you get people who don't integrate because they're coming into an area where there are so many people from their culture that they don't have a British culture to integrate into.
	They're integrating.
	There's no pressure.
	It's not just that much.
	Because it's not just an issue of a big number.
	It's an issue of multicultural messaging.
	Because multiculturalism says do not integrate.
	Do not assimilate.
	Yeah.
	We want you as your native culture because it's enriching because we've got diversity.
	And it's like, what does diversity mean?
	Like, diversity is a strength.
	So we've got female genital mutilation.
	Is that a strength?
	Because it's diverse and it's different?
	It's diverse.
	It just means less white people, less Christian culture.
	That's all it means.
	There's nobody calling for more white people in any non-white countries.
	That would be diversity.
	Nobody's ever saying, you know, we need to increase the number of white people in South Africa or, you know, we need to have a large proportion of the population in Zimbabwe being white again.
	Well, maybe people who'd want those countries to function.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But who wants functioning countries?
	That's against the communist mantra.
	So I'm going to look in this segment.
	I'm going to look at what it's going to mean for Scotland, what the response to the sudden alarm over this rapid demographic change and why it's being done.
	So you see some Scottish people are responding.
	This guy who's called Ali says having 30% of Glasgow pupils speaking English as an additional language is a strength, not a problem.
	Bilingual kids like me gain better brain flexibility, higher long-term attainment and become natural bridges to the world.
	Scotland's classrooms are raising a generation that's globally competitive.
	That's not culture smashing.
	It's culture enriching.
	Proud of these multilingual barons.
	I mean, that would maybe be true if like, you know, this was kids all from the same culture, all with the same base language that they can communicate freely and getting taught an extra language that was, you know, that was of use around the world.
	I don't think it is.
	I think this is a mishmash of alien languages from alien cultures, and it's not going to help the kids learn at school if everybody's speaking a different language and the school and the teachers have to spend lots of resources and lots of time dealing with the fact that these kids can't communicate properly.
	And it'll all split off into cliques as well.
	Exactly.
	And you could say, oh, schools are always like, yeah, but it'll be even more pronounced when it's along racial lines.
	Yeah.
	It'd be like a cross between mean girls and ISIS.
	Exactly.
	But why does Scotland's school children need to be like globally competitive anyway?
	Yeah.
	Why can't they just get a good education in Scotland for the sake of Scotland and preserving their own culture and traditions and like progressing themselves as themselves?
	Why do they need to be like on the global marketplace competing against random abdol third worlders who'll take the same job as them for a third of the cost?
	Yeah, I mean, I admire the optimism that Scottish people were planning on taking a job.
	Well, I mean, when they're led by the English.
	The Scots can do things.
	The Scots can do great things when they're forced.
	No, in Scotland.
	You know what ruined?
	What ruined Scotland?
	The welfare state ruined Scotland.
	Before the welfare state was implemented, Glasgow had reinvented itself, reinvented its economy so many times from shipbuilding, different industries, and was a really vibrant, wealthy, thriving place.
	You go to Glasgow, you see the buildings.
	They're nice buildings.
	You go to Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, nice buildings.
	There's a lot of wealth in Scotland.
	still is you know a bit of wealth but now that there's the welfare state it saps the the drive that's the thing It's the combination of the welfare state with open borders.
	Yeah.
	That is just destructive.
	And you're absolutely correct in saying that there are lots of people from Africa who go to Scotland and get jobs that aren't then available to Scottish people.
	But frequently they bring families or they get money to send back to remittances.
	So it's this combination that is incredibly destructive.
	And we have to take Glasgow build.
	Yeah, we have to take in those families as well because we don't want to break up the families.
	Sorry, they chose to break up the family in the first place when they left to come here.
	That's not our problem.
	And if we move on, actually move on to the next one as well.
	So this is Dr. Moflojo Mojo.
	Don't know if that's a real person.
	Is this a real person?
	No idea.
	I do know that she's blocked me, but she says, I live in Glasgow.
	My kids are bilingual.
	They go to the Gaelic school.
	Do you have a problem with that?
	So there's this, you know, a lot of myth-making on Twitter where people are like, well, if they're speaking English, it's not the first language, they're speaking Gaelic.
	No, they're not.
	You never, like, I defy you to find a Scottish person who should speak Gaelic.
	This reminds me of during Brexit.
	Do you remember there was that newspaper clipping that went viral everywhere?
	It's like this obviously fake story where it's some woman was on a hijab in Wales and she was speaking a foreign language and an angry man said, Oh, speak English, why don't you speak our language?
	And she turned and said, Oh, I'm actually speaking Welsh right now.
	And we're in Welsh.
	Yeah, because it's going to be like there's like women in hijab speaking Welsh are just pen a penny.
	It's so obvious.
	That was such a real thing that happened.
	Well, it definitely happened.
	Of all the things that definitely happened, it definitely happened the most.
	Clearly.
	100%.
	If we move on, we've got another person saying, not about Gaelic, but saying, mind you, forage for votes.
	That's a euphemism for Nigel Farage.
	Forage for votes just said half of Glasgow kids are bilingual.
	At least Enodon unionist Egits admits the Scots lead is a language and not just slang.
	So he's saying, oh, this is because the kids are speaking Scots dialect.
	Scots dialect is still English.
	You know, you've just got some weird words in it, like Dinny Ken for don't know, you know, stuff like that.
	You say I instead of yes.
	Stuff that I've had to stop saying because nobody understands me.
	And if we move on to the next one, we'll see what the politicians have been saying about this.
	So this is John Swinney, who is now the First Minister of Scotland.
	So he's the SNP leader and First Minister of Scotland.
	He says, immigration is good for our economy, for our public services, and for Scotland.
	We need a tailored immigration system and offered solutions.
	But Labour seems intent on following Nigel Farage's agenda.
	It's clear that decisions about Scotland should be made in Scotland.
	Now, this points to sort of the reasons why it's being done.
	I'll get to that in a second.
	Before we do that, let's move on and see what Humza, the former First Minister of Scotland, says.
	This is Humza Youssef, who is, I can't believe that he was the First Minister of Scotland.
	Not for very long, because he wasn't very popular.
	So he says, while many others in the media attempt to fan the flames of racial intolerance in our country, I am very pleased to see Scott National.
	This is the National is basically the sort of SNP's house magazine.
	It's like the Pravda of Scotland.
	So it's bucking the prevailing trend and taking a stand.
	One that says Scotland is proud to provide sanctuary to those in most need, and we are better for it.
	Refugees are welcome here.
	I mean, this is the sort of optimism you can have when you haven't had the same level of problem with grooming gangs.
	Although, obviously, there have actually been some issues with grooming gangs in Scotland and the way things are going is going to get worse.
	And also, there's been some horrific inter-racial violence, anti-white violence, like the murder of Chris Donald or Chris McDonald.
	I can't remember if it was Chris MacDonald or Chris Donald, but it was this teenager who was killed by migrants and tortured as well.
	If we move on to the next tab, it's John Swinney again saying, it's not where we're from that counts.
	It's not where we come from that counts.
	It's about where we're going.
	Great to meet Afghan Scots children at Maryhill Berg Halls and hear a lovely rendition of Robert Burns.
	Do any of these kids actually care about Robert Burns?
	I think, does Robert Burns hold any special place in their hearts because of their connection to the history of Robert Burns and their connection to the culture that he came from?
	Yeah, I mean, I think the burns that some of these cultures are more concerned about are when you get Yazidi girls in a cage or a Jordanian pilot in a cage and you set fire to him.
	Or perhaps, you know, you throw acid in someone's face as an honour killing, honour attack.
	And if we move on again, we've got Hamza Youssef again who says, a reminder that Scotland is not immune to the scourge of racism.
	Hostile rhetoric towards immigrants and referring to them as strangers certainly won't help.
	We need every political party to resist legitimizing the language of the far right.
	It's interesting.
	He doesn't say it's incorrect or wrong.
	He just calls it racist, far right.
	When he was very adamant about Scotland being white being a bad thing.
	We've got that video.
	We'll never forget it.
	But also, is he the guy behind Hate Monster where he put the policy forward and then everyone was calling saying that he is a hate speech against me?
	Yeah, he brought through this Hate Crime Act in the Scottish Parliament.
	It's now written into law in Scotland and more than half of the complaints under this new hate crime legislation were against him for being anti-white.
	So yeah, we've got that video right here.
	If we go to the next tab, let's watch this.
	Most senior positions in Scotland are filled almost exclusively by those who are white.
	Take my portfolio alone.
	The Lord President, white.
	The Lord Justice Clerk, white.
	Every High Court judge, white.
	The Lord Advocate, white.
	The Solicitor General, white.
	The Chief Constable, white.
	Every Deputy Chief Constable, white.
	Every Assistant Chief Constable, white.
	The head of the Law Society, white.
	The head of the Faculty of Advocates, white.
	Every prison governor, white.
	And not just Justice.
	The Chief Medical Officer, white.
	The Chief Nursing Officer, white.
	The Chief Veterinary Officer, white.
	The Chief Social Work Advisor, white.
	Almost every trade union in this country headed by people who are white.
	In the Scottish Government, every Director General is white.
	Every chair of every public body is white.
	White.
	You can really hear the hatred when he says white.
	Did he say something about whites?
	Imagine if I went to Pakistan, where, you know, his homeland, and I said, you know, ah, this place is terrible.
	Look, everyone's Pakistani.
	This policeman is Pakistani.
	These judges are Pakistani.
	It's like, people would be like, are you a mad racist?
	What on earth are you doing?
	And also, I'd probably get put in jail.
	Instead, he gets made first minister.
	He gets made essentially the new king of Scotland.
	I'd rather have Idiamin, thank you very much.
	It's absolutely insane.
	And now he has the goal to accuse other people of stoking racial division and racial tension.
	It was like when Ash Sarkar wrote that book coming out against identity politics.
	Excuse me?
	Have you forgotten who you are?
	Have you got amnesia?
	What's going on?
	Yeah, and Hamza, you know, for all that he says that, you know, anyone who comes to Scotland is Scottish, you know, just as Scottish as anyone else.
	Then, like, you know, when things were, he was getting more criticism after the Southport riots, where, you know, the true victims of the Southport attack was, of course, you know, Hamza Youssef.
	But, you know, after the Southport riots, he was saying Britain is becoming so racist that I think I'm going to have to move, you know, move abroad, move to Pakistan or whatever.
	And it's like, wow, it must be nice having a homeland to go to.
	Like, when he says that people who come to Scotland are as Scottish as anyone else, I don't have another country I can go to.
	I don't have it.
	My homeland is here.
	It's Britain.
	I don't have, I can't be like, oh, well, things are getting tough here.
	I can go back to Pakistan.
	That's not an option for me.
	So, you know, is he, as he says, as Scottish as anyone else?
	Or is he one of these people who's like, oh, things are changing here?
	I'm going to have to leave.
	And yeah, the impact of this rapid demographic change.
	I mean, for a third, this is almost a third in Glasgow.
	So a generation.
	You know, when we look at the overall numbers, we're like, oh, you know, Britain or England is, you know, what, 83%, 83% white or whatever.
	But then usually a lot less than that in reality, sad.
	So there's a lot that aren't counted.
	And then if you look at the younger generations, you know.
	The way it is way lower.
	The stats are insane.
	And obviously, you know, the older white people, you know, die off and leave the population.
	And they're, you know, the people coming up are a different ethnicity, different background, different culture.
	I mean, that's going to really change a country.
	You know, hopefully a lot of people growing up are going to be integrated, going to have British values.
	But there's a lot who don't.
	There's a lot, you know, we know that don't.
	And also, now that you've got sort of enclaves of Pakistanis or whatever community it is in Britain, that's essentially like we've lost a war and had to hand land over to this other culture.
	Because it's not like it's a sort of integrated, you know, British community where people speak the Queen's English and have British values.
	You know, and a lot of these ethnic enclaves, it really is a foreign land.
	And they have Sharia courts.
	So, you know, different systems, different institutions.
	So really what we've done is we've handed land over to them.
	And this idea that people are coming here for safety, quite often they're coming from safe countries.
	Ethiopia is a safe country.
	And they're coming through safe countries to get here.
	And the ironic thing is, if you come from Ethiopia and you go into Leicester, for example, there's sort of low-level conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims in Leicester.
	So you're coming from a safe country.
	You're going into a war zone, basically.
	And then you add the Sikhs into the mix as well.
	And the Pakistanis and the Sikhs have always had massive issues with one another.
	But again, like you say, they can, like Humza Yusuf.
	You can claim asylum to Europe or to another place in the UK because you come from a war zone.
	Well, this is the thing.
	Are we going to get people from Leicester or wherever claiming asylum?
	In Glasgow.
	Where are you going to go?
	Where are we going to go when we need to claim asylum?
	Well, you say, yeah, he can go back to his homeland.
	And they always try and justify, well, everybody's an immigrant from somewhere.
	Like the English came over from Saxony and Jutland and stuff.
	Can you imagine if I was like, right, this country's gone to the dogs.
	I need to return to the ancient homeland and just rock up in like Denmark or in Saxony or something.
	And I'm like, Guten Tag, fellow Saxons.
	How goes it?
	It's so good to be back in the homeland after all these thousands of years.
	Like the absurdity of it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, and Britain's always at insanely high levels of immigration because, you know, 800 years ago, like a few thousand Huguenots or something came across the channel.
	It's like, and that was 400 years ago.
	And it was like, over the course of 10 years, it was like 50,000.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they immediately just filtered into the rest of the population.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And, you know, over the weekend, I met some guy who was descended from Huguenots, very, like, tangentially hundreds of years down the line because they immediately intermarried with English people.
	And they were already indistinguishable in the first place.
	Yeah, you know, it's not like, it's not like he was holding on to his ancient Huguenot identity and culture.
	He's just like, no, he's just an English lad.
	And it's not like you say, it's not like it's different.
	Like, you know, people coming from France.
	This is why, you know, if there were genuine asylum seekers coming from France, you know, if it had surrendered in another war, then we would, of course, welcome them in.
	You know, come in, Pascal, Nicole, come on in, you know.
	But it's different having people who are culturally similar.
	This is why, you know, when Syrians seek asylum, most of them seek asylum in Turkey because it's the next country and it's culturally similar and they wanted to return when it was safe.
	And that works.
	Culturally similar, lots of links, geographic links.
	It's like Femi was saying, oh, Jesus was a refugee because, you know, he fled when he was a child, Joseph and Mary had to flee Bethlehem and flee to Egypt.
	It's like Jesus wasn't a refugee that came from Eritrea, came from the Horn of Africa to Britain.
	Jesus was a refugee who fled from Bethlehem to the Egyptian border, maybe like 50, 60 miles away.
	Also, the king literally put a hit out on his head and started massacring babies.
	So that's exceptional circumstance.
	I can kind of agree with that.
	Even if we were stamping the forms, we'd look at that and we'd be like, oh, yeah, no, actually, you can come in.
	Maybe I'll make an exception this one time because that's pretty brutal.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Also, you know, technically, you are a Christian.
	So yeah, looking at why this is being done, this isn't being done for benign reasons.
	This is the same reason as borders were opened in England, you know, rapidly opened under Tony Blair.
	Tony Blair's advisor even, you know, said the reason they did it was to rub the right's nose in diversity.
	It was to gerrymander the vote.
	It was to change the political landscape because they knew that if they brought these people in, they're going to vote left-wing.
	It's the same reason the Democrats were doing it.
	And it worked.
	In 2019, 85% of British Muslims voted for Jeremy Corbyn.
	Now that they've got the numbers to elect their own candidates, they're not voting Labour anymore.
	So that's why you're seeing Labour suddenly talking tough on it.
	But while they were voting Labour, Labour let them get away with anything.
	You know, that community, well, you know, the crimes they got away with.
	So, yeah, I mean, I think this is going to cause huge issues.
	I've seen it in London.
	One of my mates, he's moved to Devon.
	I saw him at the weekend.
	I went down and did a comedy gig with him.
	But his kids were going to school in Tottenham, where he lived.
	And they were like the only English kids in the class.
	And so, like you say, cliques form and the other kids are speaking Urdu or whatever.
	You get excluded, you get bullied.
	So his kids were excluded from the stuff.
	It's culturally different.
	So when the kids have Easter or Christmas or whatever, they're not celebrating.
	They're not doing Christmas cards with the other kids.
	It's abusive as far as I'm concerned.
	That's just wrong.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'd agree with that.
	So, you know, we're going to see that in Glasgow.
	My mum used to live in the middle of Pollock Shields, which is really sort of heavily Muslim area.
	When I was in Glasgow, I dated Afghan Indian Irish lassie who grew up in a Muslim household.
	Insane mix.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, like Afghan dad or Afghan Indian dad and Irish mum.
	Have the Irish ever seen a brown person that they wouldn't?
	No, clearly.
	I guess I got a bit of a tan.
	But yeah, like the cultural differences were really savage.
	And she could speak openly about it because, you know, she was brown.
	From those two different worlds, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But she, you know, she didn't have good things to say about it.
	And she was quite keen on, you know, not going down that path.
	And she got a lot of grief from her community for, you know, doing the things, you know, living like a Scottish lassie.
	So yeah, it was interesting.
	And for all that people think that, oh, Scotland's this, you know, this super-based, strong, patriotic country, it's not.
	Scotland, like I said, it's been ruined by the welfare state.
	Scots are now mainly, especially young ones, are just fat, gender queer communists who just want to tear down the empire.
	And the same reason that the progressive blob wants to do it in Britain, to disrupt the nation state, to sort of tear down our institutions and tear down our sense of our pride and patriotism, it's the same reason it's being done in Scotland.
	This is all being done by the communists that run it.
	That's the weird thing with Scotland for me is they're so eager to disavow England and the empire and stuff.
	And it's like, you guys were some of the most successful and enterprising people in the empire.
	If I was Scottish, I would take that as a point of pride.
	Yep, personally.
	They did so many amazing things on the frontiers of the empire.
	They were amazing adventurers, poets, administrators.
	Engineers.
	You go to Singapore.
	When I was in Singapore, I was looking up all the skyscrapers, like, wow, this is amazing.
	And then you look at the bridge you're walking across.
	And it was built by a Scottish guy in like 1870 or something.
	Why wouldn't you be proud of that?
	But it's just, it's a shame that they've been taught, one, that the first principle of Scottish identity is hating the English.
	And that, two, as a part of that, they have to disavow such a huge part of their own history going back to at least 1707 with the Union.
	Yeah, no, absolutely.
	And, you know, all this talk of, you know, Scotland's a kind and tolerant and accepting place.
	And it's like, man, Scotland is not.
	Scotland is full of some of the most aggressive people I've ever met.
	Was this guy the leader of the Scottish nationalists?
	Yeah, he was the leader of the Scottish National Party.
	So he was actually, after Nicholas Sturgeon, he took over.
	Because he was the justice minister before that, which is when he brought the Hate Crime Act through.
	And I stood for election against him to sort of raise awareness of the Hate Crime Act.
	I didn't want to win, and I very successfully didn't win.
	I overshot my margin of losing by quite some.
	I shouldn't shame.
	So, I mean, I got triple figures in the vote.
	I count that as a storming success.
	But yeah, he was First Minister of Scotland, not for very long.
	He was hugely unpopular.
	And, you know, I think now that the whole BLM nonsense is sort of ebbing away, I think all this sort of grievance grifting where you just, everybody's white, everybody's white, and I hate it.
	That doesn't wash anymore.
	Yeah.
	I think we should move on to the next segment.
	First, I'll just read through the super chats and rumble rants that we've got.
	Ochigdo says, yay, YouTube, while you guys were talking on multiculturalism, I got to welcome other cultures to our homeland commercial.
	Did they really use the word homeland?
	That's pretty exclusionary.
	The habsification, that brain flexibility is offsetted by those born from courage cousin marriage of the new Scots.
	That's very true.
	That's a great point.
	Yeah, when you look into those statistics, you can't believe that it's real.
	It reads like some kind of racist fever dream, but it's true.
	And this is one of the reasons I want the tradition of cousin marriage to continue.
	Because, you know.
	Some cousins are better than others.
	Have you got like some fit cousins or something?
	I do have some fit cousins, but not for me.
	Not for me.
	For these communities.
	It's like if they ever, like, the way demographics are going, you know, eventually they're going to reach parity with us.
	And, you know, before we've seen in Lebanon and other places, you know, when the numbers get to a certain point, stuff starts happening.
	And it's not pretty.
	But if they've all married their cousins and they're all just like, then it's going to be easier to, you know, as somebody whose eyes both point in the same direction, it's going to be easier to deal with them.
	And last one, engage for you.
	Leo, since the Scottish Highlands are the northern terminus of the Appalachian Mountains, you can come to Appalachia in the US, which is why so many Scottish came here in the 18th and 19th century.
	That's true.
	You can be poor and drug-addicted in Appalachia instead of.
	It's amazing that they took those traditions with them.
	They replicated them one-to-one perfectly.
	It's quite amazing.
	Man, I would love to go to Appalachia.
	I love the music and everything.
	It's like I just watched that JD Vance film.
	Oh, did they do an adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Fair play.
	It's kind of good, but there's a bit in it at the start where he sits down for this posh meal and he's like, what fork do I use?
	Ninnias to phone his Indian girlfriend to find out what fork.
	She is surprisingly, she doesn't say just use your hand.
	I think she's a bit more cultured.
	I know, I've been to posh dinners.
	I've never worried about what fork.
	I don't think anybody cares what fork you're using.
	Also, like, I go to posh dinners and I'm like, are you eating that?
	And I eat their dinner as well.
	He doesn't wait for a response.
	Yeah, that takes it straight away.
	This whole idea that you've got to be all polite and like, you know, good mannered at a posh dinner, I think, is now this is some real Scottish culture you see right now.
	Anyway, so we'll move on to the next segment where I'm going to talk us through the sunny subject of taxes and how you and I in Britain are tax slaves.
	We are pay pigs for the establishment so that they can give out all of our money to welfare recipients.
	This is not a sunny topic, Harry.
	Yeah.
	And how they lied us into this position.
	Although this is kind of just like the natural flow of things and how it's been going for a long time.
	I'd like to remind everybody of a beautiful and wonderful anthem going all the way back to the Empire days, that being Rule Britannia, a glorious, glorious anthem that announces it, it brags to the whole world in its defining theme.
	Britannia rules the waves.
	Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
	I just wanted to remind everybody of that and how far that we have fallen since these glorious announcements of our freedom, the great liberty that Britain stood for on the world stage and how we have degenerated from there.
	And I really do think that one of the reasons for this is the concept that I'm going to have to introduce next of usury.
	One of the most effective ways to enslave those beneath you is to put them forever in your debt.
	Now, I understand that from the perspective of encouraging people to make loans to other people, an interest rate is justifiable.
	Just getting some money back.
	It encourages you to actually make that because otherwise you're just out of money and then you buy it.
	You buy time with loans.
	Yeah, you buy time with it.
	It's high or low time preference behavior.
	That's not what usury is.
	Usury is a malicious type of interest where you're essentially either charging them so much, like a loan shark, that they'll always be in your debt, or at least that you'll be able to extract favors from them, or you extend it out to such a length through malicious interest rates that they will be forever in your debt, i.e., a slave.
	And what it can end up functioning as in the modern era, in our current time period, is as a kind of added tax to everything else that you do.
	And one thing that has come out recently since the budget, now I'm aware that this was slightly the case before this new budget, but everybody has highlighted it since, is that if you are a student loan holder in England with a plan two student loan, and I don't remember the exact parameters, but that was something like between if you took out a student loan in England and Wales between 2012 and 2020 or 2021,
	something like that, then you're a plan two, which is a specific type of loan.
	People noticed looking through this, hold up, the new plans are that if you, the interest rate is based on your annual income.
	That being if you earn £28,475 or less, you get a base interest rate of 3.2%.
	But then if you go up to £51,245 or more, your interest rate actually increases to a 6.2% interest rate.
	And people have rightfully been calling this out as exploitative because it's actually disincentivizing success.
	It's a stealth tax on the successful.
	People who've come through the university, the university, and actually become productive citizens enough to be able to work themselves up to a decent living standard.
	Well, you're more likely to pay off this debt.
	We don't want you to pay off this debt.
	We want this to be something that is going to be taken, deducted from your wages every single month for the rest of your life.
	So we're actually going to hike up the interest rates so you can never pay it back because the actual amount that we'll be taking from your wages will be enough to make a dent to your monthly income, but won't be enough to make a dent into your actual student loan, especially now that we double the interest rates.
	And I know that these interest rates have been flexible on plan two loans for a short while, but this is something that has made, this new budget has really highlighted everybody's attention to it.
	And the thing is, I've spoken a bit about tax rates in England.
	I know it's not the most glamorous or exciting subject, but it really is ridiculous how much people are taxed in this country and how it adds up as a kind of tax equality leveling system for your monthly wages in your pay packet,
	the deductions that come from your tax, your income tax, that come from your national insurance, and then your student loan, God forbid you're paying into a pension as well, can really add up to level out your wages.
	And it's especially bad because with certain things like national insurance or your student loan, as you can see, if you hit above a certain threshold, all of a sudden they'll be taking even more.
	So you could get a pay boost, an annual pay boost, and find yourself coming out of the other end with less money each month.
	Because all it means is that it's given the government more access to steal your money from you.
	Somebody put it through Grok, and I don't think that this is entirely accurate, but either way, it gives you an indication, right?
	Somebody asked, Grok, what's the marginal rate of take for a UK graduate earning a salary of £53,000, say with both a plan one, that's the pre 2012 loan, undergraduate loan, and a plan two master's loan.
	So say they graduated in 2012 and then took a master's that went on, so they have a loan for both types.
	And Grok figured out here, I don't think this is entirely accurate, but the income tax on the money earned above a certain amount, let's say £50,000, would be 40%.
	The national insurance is 2%.
	Plan 1 undergraduate loan is 9%.
	And then let's say that you've got this as well.
	It came up to a total marginal rate of 57%.
	Now, again, that will be only on stuff earned above the 51,000-ish line.
	But still, the idea that when you hit these tax threshold traps, where if you earn past a certain amount of money in the country, they will steal more than half of all of that money you earn above that.
	From then on, meaning it's a massive disincentive to actually be productive and earn decent money.
	Also, there's things like, so you get a paid nursery place if you earn less than 100 grand.
	But a paid nursery place is worth, I'm not sure exactly how much, but like basically to sort of earn, if you're earning 99,000 pounds and you've got a kid at nursery, and then you earn £100,000, you've got to earn £130,000 to even just be at where you were earning £99,000.
	I've seen that.
	That's another tax trap between, I think it's about, I think you're right, about £100,000 to £125,000 as the tax trap, where because of all of the benefits that you were receiving that you don't get anymore when you hit that threshold, your marginal tax rate is something has been calculated at about 62%.
	So past that £51,000 or so mark, everything after that, most of it, more than half of it, will be going to the government.
	So it raises the question again, why even bother?
	Why bother earning money in Britain when most of it is going to be stolen by the government so they can give out to layabouts?
	And that has massive repercussions on productivity, on investment into the country.
	And this new budget has just made it worse.
	Josh did a really good article for Courage Media talking about this.
	I'll read through some of the highlights here of how the budget has changed things about.
	A large portion of these new revenues, these are the revenues to fill up the £30 billion black hole that we were told so much about, come from the government's decision to freeze tax income thresholds until at least 2030 to 2031.
	Now, this was put forward as the exchange instead of getting tax rises.
	They're just freezing tax income thresholds.
	Reeves package therefore relies heavily on fiscal drag, the mechanism through which more of a worker's income is pulled into higher tax brackets when wages rise with inflation.
	Framed as a freeze, it is in fact one of the most powerful forms of stealth taxation.
	The OBR forecasts that the policy will push 3.2 million additional people into higher tax rate bans and raise £8 billion a year once fully realized.
	So it is a stealth tax, just like the student loan, which people accept when they're 18 years old.
	They're stupid.
	They don't understand how this will affect them.
	For me, for instance, I was told by so many people that I was working with in a call center who weren't even earning over the threshold to start paying back their student loan.
	Oh, take out a big student loan.
	You won't worry about it.
	You won't even notice it.
	Well, now I do notice it.
	Now I do notice it.
	And lots of other young people will be making those same decisions that will impact them for the rest of their lives as a stealth tax that will make their lives worse off.
	That's what we're seeing here as well.
	Alongside these tax-raising measures, Reeves confirmed the removal of the two-child benefit cap, the changes estimated to cost £3 billion a year by 2029 to 30.
	Introduced in 2017, the cap limited parents to claiming benefits for their first two children on the principle that those relying on public support should face the same financial trade-offs as working households.
	Scrapping the cap will significantly increase welfare spending, a cost that will now be offset through higher taxes elsewhere.
	And that's the theme that you see through all of this.
	There's just massive increases in welfare spending to really hit the pockets of anybody in this country who is remotely aspirational.
	Yeah, I mean, let's contextualize this.
	We have a leftist government.
	Leftist governments don't want to promote people who work.
	They don't want to promote and reward the exercise of ability.
	They want to promote people and their voters.
	So it all flows down from there.
	They have the problem, they have this whole think tank, many think tanks that they have who are constantly talking about inequality.
	And they say that inequality is the number one problem.
	We hear Zach Polanski saying it all the time.
	Oh, we've got members of your party, podcasters from LBC.
	We've got some great evidence on this later, but Carrie.
	But that's the point: if you focus on if you focus on prioritizing and promoting the exercise of ability, you will end up in an unequal society as far as the distribution of some goods is concerned.
	But it's going to be an overall better society than one where everyone is leveled down.
	Yeah, everything needs to be philosophically.
	It doesn't have to be tied to the particular loan because you could say that, well, if with a particular student loan, they're giving you the opportunity to do something that you wouldn't otherwise have.
	So you are paying something back about this.
	But even if you don't get the loan, you are assaulted by very high taxes.
	Again, if you do get a loan, it's even better.
	I'm saying, with the loan, I'm saying that it ends up being added on as a tax later on.
	And the reason for extending, for increasing that interest rate, if you're actually earning a decent amount, is to extend that stealth tax for as long as possible to take from you.
	That's the outcome of the hatred of freer economies.
	Oh, yes, it's all to do with the ideological and personal resentment that these people are feeding resentment.
	Leftism has always been a problem.
	Yeah, always.
	But carrying on with this, with what Josh has written in this article, Reeves openly acknowledged the bleak backdrop to these decisions.
	The United Kingdom's net financial debt now stands at 6.2 trillion pounds, around 83% of GDP, and that is entirely the result of just overspending.
	You spend more money than you take in in tax receipts and other income to the government.
	Well, you're going to need to create more money, and you do that by taking out new debt.
	And one in every £10 spent by the government goes directly towards interest payments.
	The money is not invested in infrastructure, public services, or productivity, simply the cost of staying solvent, which creates a dangerous dynamic.
	The high debt leads to high interest payments.
	High interest payments force higher taxes.
	Higher taxes depress private investment.
	Lower private investment reduces productivity.
	Lower productivity slows growth.
	Slower growth reduces tax revenues.
	Reduced revenues then increase borrowing, leading to more debt.
	But what would James O'Brien say?
	Oh, I've got James O'Brien later.
	Don't you worry.
	Do you?
	Of course.
	Of course.
	James O'Brien has a real great answer to all of this.
	Josh points out that the missing growth may well be explained by the fact that the government spending has reached 45% of GDP as of 2022, in contrast to the 1920s, you know, when we ruled a lot of the world, when government spending was actually 25% of GDP.
	So because of the expansive welfare state, we spend 20% more of our GDP purely than we did when we ruled most of the world.
	I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.
	But as a result of all of these tax hikes and all of the benefits that go towards people in the welfare state, this has happened.
	If you are a working family, if you are a working family, you have to earn about £71,000 to get a same take-home pay as somebody with three children out of work on benefits.
	Wow.
	It's ridiculous.
	So they say here in this report, a working family with one adult in full-time and another in part-time work on the national living wage would take home roughly £28,000 after tax.
	£18,000 less than the benefit income now available on an equivalent three-child family outside work on combined benefits.
	That's insane.
	You see this in Scotland, like where I'm from, people see the benefit system as something to be given.
	Because that's the base rate of benefits.
	You can add that.
	You can drag your kids around the doctors, get them diagnosed with autism or whatever.
	And then you get your whatever it is, carers' allowance and stuff like that.
	People know how to work the system now.
	So what's the point in working?
	Yeah.
	What's the point in working?
	And then you end up like Glasgow.
	Yeah.
	That's the dream of tyrants.
	They want an impoverished population.
	Dependent.
	Dependent.
	And linking their survival with a tyrant being in power.
	And perpetuating their power.
	That's the dream.
	And one of the other more ridiculous things about it, so as part of the new budget as well, there was a new cost put on having a house worth over £2 million.
	Now all of a sudden, there's a charge that comes with that that will be added into your council tax rates that you have to pay as well.
	Again, just another charge for being successful you need to have on a £2 million house.
	But we've been told that that does not count if it's a £2 million council house, of which there are 110 in the country.
	This is the new mansion tax.
	There are £110 £2 million houses that are council houses that are exempt from this.
	Why are people getting mansions?
	Why are we subsidizing insane welfare policies that apparently give people houses worth £2 million on welfare?
	Yeah.
	And as a result of all of this utter crap, there is roughly, according to some calculations, only about 9 million people in the UK who don't take out more than they pay in.
	So without creating extra debt, if we're just taking in the tax receipts from these people, these 9 million people are what the entire welfare system is resting on.
	That's mental.
	That's like South Africa, where it's a tiny proportion.
	It's a few percent that pay for everybody else.
	Everybody else is on welfare.
	What it's like is like a house of cards, but then you flip it upside down.
	So it's all resting on one point.
	All it'll take is the slightest breeze.
	They're already leaving, you know, people who can, people who are capable.
	It's not just millionaires, it's young people who see a better future for themselves in Australia or America or in the Gulf.
	And so they're leaving.
	And I don't want to encourage people to leave.
	I think they need to stay and fight for their country.
	But at the same time, given the amount of incentives that this country is putting on them to just pick up and leave, I can see why it is so attractive for so many people.
	Because, frankly, it's created a hostile financial architecture for them to navigate.
	This country, if you earn decent money, if you contribute to the economy, this country does not want you here.
	How upside down do you have to be to think that that's a great idea?
	So how does it come to this?
	Why is this budget accepted?
	How was it sold to the public?
	Well, through lies.
	And you can see that in this, it's most, the simplest explanation I've seen is from this article here.
	So what we were told was that Brexit had hit the economy worse than expected, because it always has to go back to Brexit.
	The war in Ukraine and Donald Trump's tariffs were a drag on the global economy.
	And in particular, the OBR had downgraded its estimate of British productivity growth, which meant expected tax revenues had taken a huge hit.
	A new fiscal black hole had emerged to the sound of £30 billion, which would require another hefty tax rise to fill it, just as Reeves has raised taxes to fill in the previous year's black holes she claimed to have inherited from the Tories.
	We now know none of this was true.
	On September the 17th, over two months before the budget, the OBR told her that its productivity downgrade had been largely offset by more buoyant revenues from rising wages and inflation.
	The black hole was now only £2.5 billion, which didn't require huge tax rises to fill it.
	On the 20th of October, the OBR reported to the Treasury that the fiscal position had further improved.
	The loss of revenue from lower productivity had been more than wiped out by other tax revenues being higher than expected.
	She was now on course to meet her fiscal targets and indeed had a small surplus of £2.1 billion in revenues.
	And then on October the 31st, in its final fiscal forecast, before it factored in whatever the government had in store to come from the budget, the OBR told the Treasury that there was now a £4.2 billion surplus.
	£4.2 billion extra.
	No black hole.
	That was on top of spending what would be left over from tax revenues.
	So no need.
	No need for any of it.
	Unless you wanted to increase all of the spending elsewhere.
	At the weekend, number 10 rushed to Reeves' defense.
	It conceded there had been a £4 billion surplus rather than a black hole, but the OBR hadn't factored in the cost of the winter fuel U-turn, £1.25 billion, the aborted £5 billion of welfare cuts, and the £3 billion cost of lifting the two-child benefit cap.
	These measures would together have plunged the Chancellor back into a fiscal deficit.
	But that is precisely the point.
	Taxes are going up, not because of Brexit, Ukraine, Trump poor productivity, or anything else.
	They are increasing because of conscious policy choices to abandon welfare reform, eschew any cuts in public spending, and tax working people more to raise welfare benefits.
	Just because they want to spend more and more and more and more.
	And they will come up with any excuse to do so, including lying to you.
	And there's even more insight that we get from an Observer article of all things about the behind the scenes behavior of the people making these decisions.
	On the 23rd of September, the budget board, the joint number 10 and Treasury committee set up to shape the financial statement regarding the budget, met for the first time in Downing Street.
	Manouche Shafiq, the Prime Minister's newly appointed chief economic advisor, turned to Torsten Bell, the Treasury Minister, and asked him to set the scene.
	Speaking fast and furiously, Bell embarked on a foul-mouthed tirade, laying bare the scale of the economic and political challenges facing the government.
	It was F this, F that.
	We've got to F them all, and then we've got to F them some more, one source said.
	Bell and Shafiq may have different personalities and backgrounds, but they share a common view about how the economy should be reformed.
	Both believe there must be a greater focus on intergenerational fairness.
	With resources transferred from older to younger people, both have advocated a shift from taxing income to wealth.
	Well, too bad, because my actual income is going to reduce, is going to go down because of all of these.
	It won't actually hit the mega wealthy because they'll just leave.
	And this will just make the country a worse place off.
	And why?
	Well, we can already get a hint from all of that.
	This was malicious.
	These people wanted to F you.
	They wanted to screw you because they hate you.
	And they saw the budget as another tool to punish you for being successful.
	And we've got more evidence of that in here.
	The Resolution Foundation's Economy 2030 inquiry, which Shafiq chaired and Bell oversaw, proposed the introduction of a new, more proportional property tax.
	It called for the pension triple lock to be scrapped, the two-child benefit cap to be abolished, and a vehicle tax to be introduced for electric cars, of which some of those policies have been put in place.
	Quote: Wealth needs to take more of the strain, the paper said.
	All these ideas were immediately on the table for the budget board.
	These ideas were presented as red meat to Labour MPs, but they were supported by Treasury civil servants too.
	The permanent bureaucracy were very in favour of screwing you, the person at home.
	I wonder why.
	One Whitehall source said, The trouble is there's an alliance between Treasury officials and ideologues on the left.
	They added, a lot of this is driven by envy.
	There are people working in the Treasury who are very clever, they have good degrees, they've chosen to go into the civil service, but they look at their contemporaries who are earning multiple times what they earn and they resent it.
	When the Tories were in power, they pushed against that, but now the ideologues in the Labour Party say, great, let's do it and more.
	There is a hostility to wealth.
	So the permanent bureaucracy of the Treasury hate you.
	If you are successful in this country, they hate you and want to steal your money.
	That is what we got told, straight from the horse's mouth, right there.
	These are spiteful mutants who, each one of them, need to be fired.
	They need to be on the streets for their disgusting, immoral behavior.
	They want you to be pay pigs for themselves and welfare recipients.
	And they lied.
	They lied so that they could screw you over.
	Yeah, the evidence for that, for tax rises being something that's punitive against success rather than something that's designed to increase revenue so we can pay down debt or pay for public services or whatever is in the private school fees.
	So private schools removed their VAT exemption.
	You might be thinking, oh, but why should private schools be exempt from a tax?
	Basically, when somebody sends their kid to private school, they've already paid for a place in a state school.
	They've already paid into the system for more because the rich, they're paying more tax, so they're paying for lots of people's.
	When they take a kid out of school, that's saving the state money.
	So that's like a gift.
	And then they put the kid in the same schooling as well.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They put the kid in the private school, they're paying for that.
	So, you know, some sort of tax exemption on that makes sense.
	If you reduce, if you put the tax up on private schooling, then that means people pull their kids out of private schooling, put them in the state school system, which means the government has to pay to educate those kids.
	So all of a sudden, the government's spending more money.
	It's raised taxes and is spending more money.
	And even in things like income tax, I mean, there's the laugher curve, which shows that when you raise taxes at a certain point, it's counterproductive, and people find ways to avoid the tax, or they just don't do the work.
	I mean, if you're paying 50% tax, I turn down gigs.
	I'll be offered a gig in Coventry or something, and I'll be like, well, I can't be bothered driving there for this much money because half of it's going to tax man, so I'll just have a nice evening at home instead.
	Whereas, you know, if it was, if I was paying 20% tax, I might be like, yeah, I'll do that.
	I'll be able to get, you know, pay for shopping next week.
	So tax is a sort of incentive.
	And yeah, and also the other aspect of firing all these public sector workers who hate us so much.
	The advantage of that is we're told that the economy doesn't have enough workers.
	So we've got to bring in people from overseas, free up some labor.
	Workers are right here.
	They're just in the public sector doing nothing.
	Yeah, well, they're in the public sector screwing us over maliciously.
	So, you know what?
	Maybe, maybe, you know, like who's going to clean the toilets?
	Mr. Whitehall staff, and maybe you.
	Maybe you.
	I think that's your proper station in life, you disgusting worm.
	But there are the typical regime mouthpieces trying to excuse it.
	James O'Brien is trying to figure out where exactly Rachel Reeves lived.
	Maybe it's where she said there was a 30 billion fiscal 30 billion pound fiscal black hole that wasn't actually there.
	Maybe that was it, Mr. James O'Brien.
	I think it's time you retire.
	Your brain is not firing on all cylinders anymore.
	Yeah, so she was 4.2 billion out on the deficit or something like that.
	And, you know, people are like, oh, she's just 4.2 billion out.
	I defy you.
	You fill in your tax return and see if you're 4.2 billion out if you get in trouble.
	I just misplaced it.
	Oh, don't worry about it.
	Don't worry.
	I mean, people are calling for it to be investigated as market manipulation, which I think would be interesting and fair.
	Clive Lewis said that a budget can't make a nation poorer because he thinks it's just about moving wealth around.
	Like the money will always be there.
	Like you can't create wealth to get rid of wealth.
	This is how the left always see wealth.
	They see it as a finite pot that can't be increased or decreased.
	It just has to be shared.
	It just exists now.
	So somehow, when we're all living in caves or just huddling around a fire, we have the same amount of wealth as we do now.
	Yep.
	This has been proven wrong immediately because already there has been investors taking out £10 billion from the stock market.
	So let's see what effects that ends up having.
	And that's all in service of propping up a state that helps this happen.
	Now, we're not going to go into this.
	These are round two of the sentencing remarks with the grooming gang trials that have happened, that have been released.
	Now, I have not taken a look through these properly.
	We've not, as an office, taken a thorough look through them yet, but we will probably do something on the website about these next week because it is a very, very serious subject and deserves the respect and attention that's necessary for it.
	So we'll probably cover something on that next week.
	But all of this, they want you to be a tax slave.
	They want you to have to force your own children into schools where they're going to be minorities, they're going to be abused.
	And they want it all of your money so they can prop up a system that defends this.
	And that's where we are right now.
	And I'll go through the super chats and everything.
	Habsification, tax tax, and more tax.
	Really wonder what these people will think of next.
	Probably something innovative, like more tax, probably.
	Have we tried a 100% wealth tax?
	Maybe that'll work.
	That's a random name, Harry.
	Your colleagues were so easy going about your student loan because they knew you have a pot of gold hidden somewhere.
	That's damn right, and you're never getting hold of it.
	Also, honestly, no matter how blackpilling Harry's segments may be, they bring a sense of catharsis by having someone say what we're all thinking: latrine duty for all civil servants.
	Excellent idea.
	We need to rename it back to something more humiliating, like latrine duty.
	Bay State, my favorite fact about Scotland is that we were declared the friendliest country on earth the same year that we were the murder capital of Europe.
	Figure that one out.
	Dreadnought.
	North, people always say Scotland's friendly, but it's like it's sort of like friendly, but like with an era of aggression.
	It's like people start a conversation with you at the bus stop.
	They'll be like, you're having a good time, pal.
	You know what I mean?
	I've noticed that Scott says, well, to be honest, I'm like, I don't have any money on me.
	Sorry, mate.
	Oh, you want a friendly conversation?
	Okay, all right.
	Dreadnought, I find an inheritance tax the worst.
	You're taxed your whole life and then you get taxed for dying.
	Yep.
	Reverend Norse, would it not be better to then, as soon as you take a job, get a job, take a bank loan and pay off the student loan and then have only the bank's interest?
	Well, that can be variable because of variable interest rates as well.
	It would be interesting to see what would happen if people en masse did that and then all at once defaulted on all of their bank loans.
	That would be an interesting experiment.
	Not that I am advocating that.
	I would never advocate for purposeful interest, for purposeful fraud.
	And then Varoug says, if taxes and government spending don't radicalize you, nothing will.
	Yeah, I always think I'm past my like peak libertarian phase until all of a sudden I start looking into government taxes and then it comes all rushing how to work anyway.
	Let's find out about Lux Maxes.
	So LuxMaxers have gone too far.
	We are going to talk about the Lux Maxing community.
	We may think that this has been only a woman thing, but lately it's also a man thing as well.
	Lots of men are drawn into this trend.
	And it's a trend based around a community that says basically that looks are everything.
	And this leads to very bad outcomes.
	You just don't want to embark upon this journey.
	Let's look at cat woman, Jocelyn Wildenstein.
	She's at 82.
	She looks totally unrecognizable from where she was 15 years old.
	She was fixated with looking like a cat.
	And it's not that she's.
	That's because she could lick her on innocent.
	The point is, it wasn't just an issue of trying to be nicer, of wearing makeup and stuff.
	That was hard stuff.
	So when we're talking about Lux Maxing today, we are not going to talk about dudes and women trying to look better, just trying to go on a balanced diet and try to exercise.
	We're going to talk about the hard maxing territory.
	That's really, really annoying, really dangerous.
	And it's something that we need to talk about because we need to know what is going on with the radicalization of young people online.
	So she was fixated with looking like a cat and she ended up looking like a cat.
	That doesn't look too much like a cat to me.
	Right, but look at the transformation.
	So she thought that she wasn't beautiful enough.
	I mean, she was fit.
	She was fit?
	Yeah.
	She was beautiful.
	Okay, let's just face it.
	Don't try to tell me she was 15.
	And just she was fixated.
	She would have been fit if she was a bit older, is what I meant.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
	Yeah, but you see, maybe that's false.
	Maybe that's false.
	Look at what happened.
	I was talking about the second picture.
	Yeah.
	Her parents are pressing her to do this.
	Oh, geez.
	Right, so this community needs to be told R and everything.
	The character is destiny.
	It's character that is destiny.
	Because looks may disappear.
	They come and they go.
	But character stays eternal.
	So if you want to learn more about character, we have the ancient Greek virtue ethics course, Tumblr's Wisdom About the Good Life.
	Do check it out.
	I don't know.
	I think Plato was like a historic Lux Maxer.
	He was a Lux Maxer, but according to that community, he would be more on the soft max here because he was a big wrestler.
	He had a very broad chest.
	But he didn't do any artificial thing to become broad-chested.
	He was a natural broad-chested man.
	He was a natural artist.
	Oh, no, he was a Chad.
	Right.
	So here we have this Lux Maxing iceberg.
	So they say that normies say it's about personality and confidence.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Being a good person or something.
	Exercise.
	Why is hygiene up there?
	Yeah, because they say it's not about hygiene.
	It's not about confidence.
	When you're deep into Lux Maxing, showers become optional.
	But they also have diet, beard, push-ups, jogging, shaving, sleep.
	This is all normie stuff.
	Well, sleeping.
	Am I not allowed to do that normie stuff?
	You can't sleep, you can't shower, you're not allowed to be funny anymore.
	Clothes, optional.
	What do they mean?
	So the tip of the iceberg is like the visible bit.
	And then there's the stuff below, like the stuff you can't see.
	The further down you go, the more based you are in that community.
	Oh my God, how far down does this go?
	Oh my god.
	Reincarnating into Chad?
	Transvastigators.
	I don't know what that means.
	So co-bro, Maximum.
	But wait, Harry, we will go there.
	We will go there.
	So the fashion YouTuber says it's about gym, it's about vitamins, it's about protein, it's about tanning or posture or status.
	But these are just normies.
	So isn't right.
	Is Lux Maxing suggesting that this is not stuff that is exclusive to each?
	This compounds.
	So if I go further and further and further down, if I'm say moon gazing, I also have all of this BS to worry about as well.
	Yeah, but let's work one step at a time because we're going to go down to Dante's Inferno.
	I can tell.
	So if you become red-peeled and you follow pickup artists, read the game by Neil Strauss, Andrew Tate, what's grind?
	Steroids, alpha, beta, testosterone.
	You need to get on that grind side.
	Hypergamy.
	Hamza.
	I don't know.
	Is Hamza Yusuf?
	Maybe you know.
	Who's Hamza?
	Gone Scottish nationalism.
	Is this Hamza?
	He looks like a Hamza.
	I don't know.
	So they start injecting testosterone, Tinder, Chad's cold shower.
	Liver King.
	Liver King.
	Right, but now.
	That guy was just taking steroids.
	No, it was their ancestral diet, bro.
	Eating raw tests.
	But now we go even further down.
	It's not just red pill, it's black pill.
	And it's generally speaking, a very dumeristic way of looking at the world.
	This guy is, you can't tell, but this guy is heavily depressed.
	So let's talk about here, let's talk about this zone here.
	Say John New.
	You know who John New was?
	No.
	Right, he was.
	Was he the guy behind Mewing?
	Is that why he was?
	He was a British orthodontist in the 1970s who said that there's a technique involved positioning the tongue against the roof of the mouth to purportedly improve jawline definition, facial structure, and overall oral health.
	Is that not just how your tongue naturally rests with a closed mouth anyway?
	Right.
	They say here, Andrew ate.
	I don't know why.
	Jawline is on there twice.
	Y Shamill.
	Mogging.
	Mogging.
	I mean, you're aware.
	We can just mog everyone.
	We can just mog everyone.
	Yeah.
	Have I been looks maxing this whole time without realizing?
	I mean, we mog everyone here.
	I mean, I'm a solid 10.
	I'm not a black pill dude.
	Mewing is.
	What are you doing there, Harry?
	I'm mogging you, man.
	No hap, no fap, Harry.
	No fab.
	Yeah, you ain't.
	Jawline.
	So no fap is like the opposite of gooning.
	Yeah, but it's not the opposite.
	It's not kind of not the opposite, is it?
	Because isn't gooning edge maxing, where you go to the limit?
	Isn't it where you go to the limits, but you don't finish?
	Yeah, you jelk for hours.
	You jelk.
	Yeah, you're on the soft mac territory.
	It says dick pill and jelking here.
	What?
	What's dick pill?
	Is that just you're gay now?
	No idea.
	If you go far down enough to look at it.
	The pill that little Richard takes Viagra.
	It's little Richard Little Richard.
	You have to immediately just have like a 24-7 Viagra boat.
	Yeah, you went straight into the soft maxing area with the joking there.
	Samson has killed himself.
	Isotritonian, Accutene, Max, Cup, Tattoo Maxing.
	Some of these things like potassium and stuff like that.
	So my mate takes a jizz stack.
	So it's like to give himself a greater load of jizz.
	Yeah.
	Darius Davies, very funny comedian.
	He's not just taking a load of zinc.
	Zinc, potassium.
	He gave me the list of stuff.
	He's taking.
	You look at his pill drawer.
	It's like an AIDS patient.
	He's so many pills, and it's all to give him a bigger load.
	Right.
	So it says here.
	Has he had any complaints?
	Jizz stack.
	Has he felt has he had the halo effect?
	Has he had the what?
	The halo effect.
	What's the halo effect?
	It's a thing when you reach a physique where everyone starts responding you positively.
	You know, it's kind of like when you make even straight dudes gay.
	Because you're mogging everyone through jelking.
	I was just going to ask if he's ever recreated that scene from Scary Movie.
	Right, okay.
	Which one?
	You know the one.
	I haven't seen the movie.
	Oh, never mind then.
	Someone at home will have got it.
	But now we're going to the dark max it.
	No.
	No, the hard maxing territory.
	And we're going to talk about hard maxing territory because there's not a problem with mogging people.
	There's absolutely no problem with mogging people.
	But I think if we are serious, we need to say that there is a tremendous problem with the hard maxing zone.
	Let's start talking about it.
	So there are some people who are trying to say that Lux Maxing is saving you.
	It's creating high sexual market value.
	You need to realize that everything in your life is malleable.
	Clothing style, where you walk, skill set, career hairstyle, even the look on your face.
	Estimon lifestyle that is wreaking havoc on our facial appearances.
	Come on.
	Lux maxing saves you.
	I see the before and after.
	Samson is killing himself yet again by laughter.
	So he's obviously done some mewing.
	Has he had surgery?
	I don't know, but we are going to talk about jaw surgery.
	Right.
	Because some men want to look like cats.
	It's like the equivalent Joe Cedarlin Wildenstein.
	Right, so what this guy says here, Murcell, 90% of Lux masks is unfatting yourself, details in physique showing is attractive, obesity is ugly, a good diet makes you vibrant, a fatty diet sucks out your energy.
	There's nothing problematic here.
	I mean, that's that.
	I mean, that's all just true, to be honest.
	Question it, what is this 10%?
	Right, let's go talk.
	Let's start looking what they say here.
	Say, Lux maxing checklist, daily mewing, mastic gum.
	Sounds very, very corny.
	Very weird.
	This all just sounds gay.
	Low water retention.
	Then, Harry, have you drunk?
	Have you drunk much water today?
	Yeah, I've drank plenty of water today.
	I don't want to dehydrate myself.
	I mean, this is, you know, like Henry Cavill spoke about doing topless scenes for The Witcher when he was starring in that, and how he would have to dehydrate himself for days before so that he would look dry enough.
	And loads of bodybuilders have to do that as well.
	The thing is, that's incredibly dangerous and makes you on the verge of death.
	That's why, that's one of the reasons like bodybuilders can kill themselves by accident is by dehydrating themselves.
	And they can only do that for, like, if you see Wolverine or someone in a film, like, he's made himself, like, you say, it's not just taking steroids and building yourself up to that point.
	Like, steroids and things like that have to go in cycles.
	So it's just for that week, he's going to have that body.
	You know, it's just for a few days of filming.
	He's going to have the body where he's totally ripped and shredded.
	Then he's going to have to cycle off it.
	He's going to have to drink water again.
	Yeah, it's absolutely crucial.
	Water is vital.
	Don't you have to do it?
	You learn to hit.
	No say you don't learn anything.
	We have the Gordon Gecko.
	Water is good.
	Yeah, but also if you're a coffee maxer like me, like myself, you have to drink lots of water.
	But they say balanced skin, go-to-cola, copper peptide, topical methylene blue, base tan, full spectrum UV.
	You're going to look like a bimbo afterwards.
	LH and FSH.
	I have no idea what this is.
	I think they are LH and FSH are something to do with hair follicles and something to do with retaining your hair so it doesn't start thinning.
	One of the problems with it, though, is that it can actually massively hit your testosterone levels, your natural testosterone production.
	So you would basically have to immediately get onto TRT if you start doing that.
	It's a vicious cycle.
	Just don't.
	I hate to break it to all of you people right now.
	Brad Pitt doesn't do any of that.
	Brad Pitt just naturally looks handsome because he's Brad Pitt.
	I hate to break it to you all.
	Yeah, but they are saying that no, you can't actually look like Brad Pitt.
	The beauty bone maxilla development is one of the highest indicators of health.
	As this person is saying, the aesthetic primal because it's a reflection of resilient nervous system, high CO2 tolerance, good posture, proper mineralization.
	I like it when they go chemical.
	Just so hilarious.
	It's obvious that they have too much anytime.
	Yeah, honestly, this all just sounds like nonsense.
	Oh, no, no.
	This is the worst crime against humanity.
	No, actually, they're worse.
	Here's where we go.
	The amount of hot Hollywood women who've gone through this and ruined themselves.
	Yeah, we're going to go to hard maxing territory now, to hard, hard maxing.
	Is this what hard maxing is?
	Bucal fat removal.
	Rhinoplasty, people.
	Rinoplasty.
	Leg lengthening, bone smashing, leg length lengthening.
	Just, come on.
	I'm sorry, bro.
	You're always going to be 5'6 on the inside.
	No matter how much you get people to break your legs.
	They say bucal fat is fat between your cheekbones and jawbones in your face.
	These fat pads help make up the shape of your face.
	Beacal fat removal is a surgery to remove it.
	Yeah, basically, they're just women get this done and it makes them look terrible.
	Yeah, it makes them horrible.
	They're so drawn, absolutely starved kind of thing.
	And they go from that nice sort of, you know, like it ages, ages their face.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Because one of the appeals of like women's faces is that they retain their youth a lot better than men do.
	So they get this surgery.
	It makes them immediately look older because part of the youthful look is having like rosy cheeks.
	Yep.
	This is the story is that.
	My point is that they've started doing it at a very young age now.
	Because generally speaking, we would think that this is something that old ladies are doing, let's say 50 plus.
	She's getting a facelift at 28.
	I'm going to completely contradict my last segment and say for these people, they've got too much money.
	These people need 100% tax.
	Right, okay.
	Now we have the new bone smashing trend.
	Encourages people to hit themselves in the face with hammers to improve their looks.
	No, no, this can't be real.
	Yeah, it is.
	Actually, this is 23.
	This is 22 years, yeah.
	People have been doing this for years now, Leo.
	You're not on the trend already.
	Bone smashing tutorial videos who have racked up to 364 million views on TikTok.
	Doctors weren't against the practice.
	China were literally literally thinking to themselves, how can we subvert American society?
	I don't know.
	We'll just get them to break their own face.
	This guy is hitting his face to look like that.
	Also, see how it says people are using laxatives as a sort of budget Zempic.
	So I shared the flight with this fat last, and she was like, basically, she's told me that the reason I was skinny and she was fat is because she had a more efficient digestive system than me.
	I was like, no, it's not.
	Because you're eating pies.
	You're eating pies.
	You're not running about your fat shit.
	Like, it's, you know, if you like, people will make up any reason.
	You don't have a more efficient digestive system.
	You're just eating pies.
	Say, medical experts are sounding the alarm over a new bizarre TikTok trend that has people hitting themselves in the face with hammers in hopes it will make them more attractive.
	No, it's going to make you sound dumb.
	It's going to mean that you break your face.
	The idea behind the so-called bone smashing is that people hit their faces with hammers, bottles, massages, weights, weights, or other bland objects to break or fracture the bones in the hopes of reshaping the facial structure.
	I hit myself in the face with a weight by accident.
	It didn't restructure my face.
	It just hurt.
	Don't do it on purpose, folks.
	And they have this ridiculous theory.
	It's obviously ridiculous.
	I mean, if you have children, just tell them to stay away from this.
	They say that bones will heal in a more desirable alignment after being broken or fractured.
	It's absolute bollocks.
	Right.
	So we have this.
	I mean, it's very sad here.
	This is someone.
	A man spent $81,000 on a leg lengthening operation to go from 5'5 to 6.
	Well, 6 foot.
	Sorry, mate, you're always going to be a spiritual manlet.
	You'll never get rid of the tiny man up here, no matter how much you extend your own legs.
	Also, won't his upper body be completely disproportionate to his legs now?
	And won't his legs be weak?
	I would expect so.
	I have an article here, leg lengthening surgery.
	What is it?
	Which I'm not going to read.
	One thing, it's painful.
	That's a lot of words.
	And here in the guy Weezer had it done, and basically they have a sort of round cage on each part of the bone, the top and the bottom.
	Actually, not December because I was run over by a truck, so my bone was smashed to bits.
	But basically, they have screws, and every day the screws get lengthened a little bit, so like it pulls it apart, and the bone grows in.
	So it's mad, it takes ages.
	Oh, that sounds horrid.
	Yeah, you'd only want to get it done if you absolutely had to.
	I'd have thought.
	This trend happens.
	Very, very worried.
	And the Global Center for Health Security has an article saying, bone smashing TikTok trend.
	Here are the dangers of hammer in your face.
	I mean, do we need to talk about it?
	Right.
	And here, one thing is that it's also a man thing now.
	One thing which is absolutely sad, Zach Efron did it.
	Just that's Zach Efron before that's Zach Efron.
	Why did he do it?
	Was it no idea?
	It's not him taking growth hormone along with all the surgery.
	No, no, he went and he had the jaw surgery.
	Did he have jaw surgery?
	Because I thought it was just because if you take growth hormone, it can make your internal organs larger.
	It can also change the shape of your skull.
	So I thought this was a result of him just really overdoing it for roles.
	But no, that's that's stupid.
	Yeah, if you're Zach Efron, like why would you mess with your own face?
	Yeah, but that's the point.
	I think it's not about women.
	It's not about attracting women.
	It's about insecurity.
	Right.
	Right.
	I mean, he felt incredibly insecure.
	He had women, right?
	So he did have success with women, but that wasn't enough.
	So all this trend that is being marketed as increasing your sexual market value, it's a distraction.
	That's not it.
	It's feeding on people's insecurities and it's especially targeting young people who are much more insecure.
	I mean, yeah, Justin Bieber looks like a hobo here.
	Well, the thing is, this isn't looks maxing.
	This is just Justin Bieber's.
	This is hobo maxing.
	This is just him getting older and growing a beard.
	This is hobo maxing.
	Forgetting to wash.
	Okay, right.
	So now we're going to talk about a briefly about a Zoomer.
	This is the 19 years old.
	He's a death, isn't it?
	I think he calls himself Clavicula.
	You see here, Greg Dussette has a video on him, and the wise bodybuilder says something where he starts with his voice.
	You're not a six.
	You're not a 6.5.
	You're not a nine.
	You're a nine.
	Okay, so what happens here?
	This absolutely crazy because this is a 19-year-old.
	And I will say it's sad.
	It is sad, right?
	He's 19 years old.
	He was born in 2006, late 2005.
	He is injecting testosterone ever since year 14.
	He's got a health problem.
	I mean, I assume he has tiny balls now.
	Maybe he was born a woman.
	Right.
	So he's injecting testosterone for five years now.
	He's 19 ever since he's 14.
	He wants to get a double jaw surgery in Turkey that costs around $35,000.
	And he's doing all these crazy things.
	He's doing also the Dragathon, as he says with a friend of his.
	He goes out.
	He's very explicit about getting cocaine, meth, and all sorts of other drugs.
	It's part of the interview where he says he basically micro-doses meth and cocaine through the day.
	Yeah.
	To get through the day.
	And he's very explicit.
	He says it's not about health.
	He's not about longevity.
	don't see the appeal in what like turning yourself into a it's the same thing with with trans It's like, I don't see the appeal in turning yourself into a permanent medical patient for the sake of updates on the internet.
	Here he tells Nick Fuentes that he needs to get taller, probably do a leg-lengthening surgery.
	I think no one should do this surgery.
	He speaks here about the cosmetic surgery.
	Here he says, I spent 35k on my face.
	That's the thumbnail title.
	I don't think he has already done it, but he says here why he wants to do it.
	And he says that you do it in Italy and Turkey.
	And he says that he prefers to do it in Turkey because the Turks don't have the sort of limits that the Italians have.
	So the Italians aren't going to do some things.
	The Turks are.
	I had Luke's maxing surgery in Turkey.
	I got a hair transplant.
	Yeah, was it good?
	Did it work?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Looks like it has worked.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but he didn't smash your face or smash your jaw or something.
	Not as far as I know.
	Just the top of my head.
	Put a third jaw or something.
	Got my crappy original jaw.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And I think that basically that Zumas are getting out of control.
	Not all of them, to be honest.
	I think that this is something I want to say.
	This is a weird niche.
	Yeah, yeah.
	This is a weird niche.
	And I think we need to say this because I do see this across the board with several online trends, not just fitness trends and cultural trends.
	But I do think that very frequently it's the controversial bit that gets publicity.
	And it gets publicity disproportionately so.
	If you look at this person, he gets way more publicity than the average Zuma.
	Well, the thing is, it's not actually because he looks good.
	It's because people trot him out for views as like kind of a circus freak show attraction.
	That's what it is.
	At least he's honest.
	And he says here, it's not about women.
	It's about mogging men.
	He says this out in the open.
	It's not about health.
	He says it's not about health.
	It's not about women.
	It's about being more sexually attractive than other men.
	But then is he?
	Because he looks, the thing is when people have plastic surgery, they look like they've got plastic surgery.
	That's their look.
	You know, it doesn't...
	How good they look is immaterial because they just look like they've had work done, which is a very unattractive look.
	And anyway, he has a website.
	He has more than a thousand subscribers where he's giving advice for life and increasing sexual market value.
	He says here, if you want to succeed with girls, go out, do cocaine.
	This is just false, absolutely.
	You have to be rich to do all of this stuff in the first place.
	Yeah, I mean, and here he is doing.
	Jesus.
	He is injecting his 17-year-old girlfriend with face filler.
	Yeah, like this whole thing is just like freak show.
	It's like going to the zoo.
	Yeah.
	Right, so I'm going to end here.
	I'm not going to show the other.
	Is he called the vervicular because he broke his collarbones or something to give himself a different look?
	I think one thing they like is they like have it.
	They say you want a longer, longer collarbone because then it will make your chest look broader.
	But one thing, and I think that this is a good thing in this case, he revealed about a day ago that his parents took away his passport and all government activities.
	This guy still lives with his parents?
	Leaving him with no way to go to Turkey and get his long-awaited surgery.
	He does all of this and still lives with his parents.
	That's not attractive.
	You know, even I've moved out.
	Right.
	Eventually, recently.
	Even so, just I want to end this with saying that this is in fact a niche.
	People who do this, they may get disproportionate fame, but fame isn't everything.
	Looks aren't everything.
	Focus on working very hard for your goals in life.
	I think to a very large extent, Zoomers don't have patience.
	It's very frequent that young people are impatient, but I get the idea that Zoomers are way more impatient.
	I mean, a subset of them, sure.
	Yeah, a subset of him.
	But one thing to say, because I don't want to demoralize.
	In fact, I want to shed light this in order to say that this is ridiculous and people should know about it.
	And the fact that these people get so much publicity doesn't mean that if you don't follow that trend, there's something wrong with you.
	There's absolutely nothing wrong with you.
	There's everything wrong with how they feel.
	They think that they've already said that life is doom.
	They think that looks are everything.
	They're not.
	They matter, but they are not everything that matters.
	Yeah, it's just don't get drawn into it.
	It's just absolute BS and people should call it out instead of stay silent just to be good with and just to flirt with audiences of other people who may take issue with it.
	So it's absolute nonsense.
	Yeah.
	And besides, the woman is supposed to be the high-maintenance one in the relationship, not the guy.
	Let's go on to the video comments.
	So I don't think you guys are really basketwash, right?
	Not all of you.
	The problem isn't really the ethnos that Loses is speaking to.
	Zenos, right?
	Foreigners.
	So why not branch out from these ethno-nationalist groups in Europe and so on to Hindu nationalists, black nationalists?
	There's the nutcrack of Islam, of course, but there was such a thing as Arab nationalism, right?
	Still lives today in the PLO.
	Iraq fell, Syria fell, but those guys are still around.
	Want to know what you think of that?
	I mean, I've been to a couple of weaves.
	I mean, I mean, if you're talking about different nationalist groups, I don't see what you can really do to aid one another other than just encourage each other's nationalism within the nation that they come from.
	It's not really anything that I've majorly thought on.
	I look at our own nationalism as being the number one first and foremost problem and all of the different issues that come from that, the things that push people, our countrymen away.
	I don't really have much time to think about Hindu nationalism, you know?
	Fair play to them.
	I don't know what they believe, frankly.
	There is also the very obvious case here to note of the, I think, Patriots for Europe or European Patriots.
	It's a conglomeration of parties who are talking about this in a nationalist way.
	Perhaps not as nationalistic as some people would want.
	But check them out.
	I think nationalists can be, you know, especially the ethno-nationalists can be too like tunnel-vision, too focused on something that, you know, like wanting to deport Frank Bruno, which, you know, you're never going to, you're never going to be able to sell that to the British people.
	You'll get maybe, you know, 5% of people agreeing with you.
	You know, so if you actually want to affect like practical change in the country, like I think being a hardcore ethno-nationalist is kind of still, there's like elements that make sense.
	There's elements that you can sell to people.
	but you know deporting frank bruno is is silly and you know i think it's we've got to be more like civilizationists Like, I've got no problem with, you know, a Japanese guy moving next door.
	I've got a problem with somebody from, you know, the civilization.
	Yeah, somebody from a non-civilized.
	We should try and speed up just because we're all over time.
	Yeah.
	So can we go to the next one, please?
	If somebody's kind enough to pass this on to Nate, because no, I wasn't talking about Chinese animation from 10 years ago.
	This is Chinese animation from today.
	They have evolved fast in regards to entertainment.
	Well, once they start shipping their stuff over, our entertainment industry is going to be so much more done than it already is.
	Some good-looking stuff.
	Maybe we need to tell Nate to watch this because it sounded like it was addressed to Nate.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Inspired by Asimov's Foundation series in 2018, I came up with a crude real model of psychohistory using psychosocial analysis and trends to predict the future.
	My calculations predicted Trump's 2020 loss and significant social unrest around 2026 plus or minus a year.
	So, by my calculations, the future will be that by 2030, freedom shall prevail with a show of force using a technology currently in its infancy.
	History doesn't rhyme, but it does echo, and we're in a Weimar one.
	I'd agree with that about the Weimar.
	Oh, yeah, like financially, culturally, everything.
	And on to the last video comment, please.
	So, Dan's been interviewing a lot of authors lately, and I wanted to give him a heads up that the author Tom Kratman has been retweeting him a bunch in the last year.
	And I feel like it might be worthwhile to seek him out because I bet he'd do an interview with you guys.
	He tends to write action sci-fi books, think like Starship Troopers, but more based.
	But besides that, he did serve in the army for a long time and did lots of legal work, so he kind of knows his way around a lot of those worlds.
	So, he and Dan would have a lot to talk about if he was ever brought on for a segment.
	Interesting.
	We'll have to look into that.
	I'll just read one or two super chats and then we will call it a day.
	So, when I go to the comments also of our subscribers, no, we've not we've already gone six minutes over, so we sorry, folks.
	We uh we'll uh we'll just go through a few super chats.
	Uh, when I was a kid growing up on the west coast of Scotland, just wearing a hair gel one day in school would get you brutally bullied for the rest of the year.
	Leo only pretends not to know about people breaking their bones for better looks when I've seen him behind the co-op paying bums to hit him with hammers.
	True, that's just a fish.
	So, you can encourage bone growth through regular conditioning, i.e., martial artists kicking trees, but no one looks to their shins and thinks now my face.
	And if Clavicular is injecting anything into a minor and he is not a doctor or legal guardian, and this is not a life-saving need, he should probably be in prison.
	Probably true.
	And yeah, we have gone over, so sorry, folks, but we are doing Lad Zauer in just over 20 minutes.
	So, for our subscribers, you can join us there and enjoy that one.
	Honestly, I have no idea what we're talking about.
	Josh has done it, so we'll find out all together.
	So, thanks for watching and have a great weekend to everyone else.
