=== Clarifying Endorsements (04:15) ===

[00:00:00]  Greetings, this is a clarification video.
[00:00:03]  Now, first and foremost, this will be quite obvious to anyone who is a reasonable and enlightened individual, but I thought to just throw it out there anyway for good measure.
[00:00:15]  Now, as the title suggests, guilt by association, I just want to make my case quite clear here.
[00:00:23]  There are certain individuals who I can endorse fully as individuals.
[00:00:28]  So I can say these lads are legit.
[00:00:30]  So I can say these mad cunts for example.
[00:00:33]  Boom.
[00:00:33]  I can say that they are legit.
[00:00:36]  I know them and I like them.
[00:00:37]  They're my good friends.
[00:00:38]  So I can say that they're good men.
[00:00:41]  Does that mean that we agree with each other on every single point?
[00:00:44]  No, we have discussions with each other.
[00:00:46]  We are reasonable adult men.
[00:00:49]  We can actually have disagreements and still be friends.
[00:00:52]  The important things though, we are in agreement on.
[00:00:55]  And I'd say 95% on all positions are similar.
[00:00:59]  But we can still disagree on things.
[00:01:02]  But I can at least say that these guys are legit.
[00:01:05]  However, when we're talking about other things, if we're talking about certain books, for example, and I have a few examples here that I will show in a bit, the important thing here is that if I say, if I share a video from Lauren Sudden, if I've shared a video from her two years ago, that does not mean that I endorse everything she has done since.
[00:01:28]  That does not mean that I endorse everything she says or does.
[00:01:32]  It simply means that I thought this video I shared of her was a good video.
[00:01:38]  That's it.
[00:01:40]  Same thing with articles.
[00:01:41]  I can share an article from an author and I say these concepts are interesting.
[00:01:46]  That does not mean that I necessarily endorse other articles said author has composed.
[00:01:54]  So let's take a look at a few books here.
[00:01:57]  So we have Tommy Robinson, Enemy of the State.
[00:02:00]  A good read.
[00:02:01]  I can recommend it.
[00:02:04]  Because it gives a good overview of the transgressions of the British state and it's an interesting story.
[00:02:11]  Does this mean that I endorse Tommy Robinson's view on ethnicity?
[00:02:16]  No, absolutely not.
[00:02:17]  I think he has a faulty worldview when it comes to ethnicity.
[00:02:22]  Because he goes along the classic line of civic nationalism and I'm not a civic nationalism.
[00:02:27]  I've talked about civic nationalism several times before.
[00:02:30]  So what I say is that certain elements of this book are good.
[00:02:34]  Certain elements of what Tommy Robinson does are good.
[00:02:38]  I can endorse these things.
[00:02:41]  But certain other things, certain other positions, I cannot endorse.
[00:02:45]  Simple stuff really.
[00:02:46]  Let's take another book, The Way of Men by Jack Donovan.
[00:02:51]  I have recommended this book on numerous occasions and I still say the same.
[00:02:56]  It's a good book.
[00:02:57]  It's an interesting book with a lot of good concepts in it.
[00:03:01]  Does this mean that I endorse all of Jack Donovan's positions?
[00:03:05]  No.
[00:03:06]  Does this mean that I am associated with Jack Donovan?
[00:03:10]  No, I'm not.
[00:03:12]  I'm just pointing to the fact that there are interesting concepts in this book.
[00:03:18]  End of story.
[00:03:18]  It doesn't mean that I endorse perhaps other positions that he has taken.
[00:03:23]  And just for the record, Jack Donovan has written an article saying farewell to white nationalism.
[00:03:28]  So there is already a gap there.
[00:03:30]  Now, moving on to a third example.
[00:03:33]  Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
[00:03:37]  There are some cool and good quotes in here.
[00:03:40]  Does this mean that I endorse the book in its entirety?
[00:03:44]  No, there are certain things that I don't agree with at all.
[00:03:48]  And there are probably a lot of things Marcus Aurelius did in his life that I do not endorse or agree with.
[00:03:55]  So I can say certain concepts that Mark Aurelius talks about can be interesting for you to embrace in your self-improvement journey.
[00:04:05]  Same thing with all of these books.
[00:04:07]  Same thing with Tom Robinson.
[00:04:09]  Same thing with Jack Donovan.
[00:04:11]  Do I endorse their worldview?
[00:04:13]  No, I endorse my own worldview.

=== Endorsing Views Not People (01:39) ===

[00:04:15]  I am associated with myself.
[00:04:17]  I stand for my own reasoning.
[00:04:21]  So keep that in mind.
[00:04:22]  If you want to hear my take on a certain situation, come to my channel or to my Instagram and I will explain to you.
[00:04:30]  So if you've heard the Golden One endorsed this particular individual, it is probably not the case.
[00:04:36]  It is probably the case that I've said this particular concept or this particular video or article or book was interesting.
[00:04:44]  So there is a huge difference between those two.
[00:04:47]  So anyway, the point being is that make the distinction between endorsing concepts and articles and videos and endorsing someone in their person.
[00:04:57]  I've met plenty of people, I've talked to plenty of people, but that does not mean that I know them well enough to actually be able to say if they're legit or not.
[00:05:08]  I can say, as I did in the beginning of this video, that these lads, my lads, they are solid and legit.
[00:05:15]  I can't say that for all the other people.
[00:05:18]  So just because I talked to someone, just because I have shared a video, just because I have said that this particular thing was good, doesn't mean that I am affiliated with them.
[00:05:31]  So I hope that made sense.
[00:05:33]  And yet again, if you want to know my take on a certain situation, just look through all of my videos and certain older videos I have removed because I've updated my views.
[00:05:42]  It's absolutely perfect to progress in your views.
[00:05:45]  My allegiance is still the same as it has always been.
[00:05:49]  Mother Sweden, Mother Europe, Mother Earth.
[00:05:53]  So thank you for watching.
[00:05:54]  XXXO.
