00:01:00.000
Hello, Mr. Cottrell. Welcome to a Canadian space.
00:01:05.440
Thank you. I think this is the first Canadian space I've ever joined. So thanks very much
00:01:15.440
Well, we're making the Commonwealth great again. That's right.
00:01:19.260
Right. Oh, yeah. Canada is part of the Commonwealth, isn't it?
00:01:23.020
Yeah. I mean, and posties in space is a lot because that's how you guys met. And well,
00:01:29.780
I am too. Like, let's, let's not pretend. But, you know, that's one thing is she was saying
00:01:36.020
like, like, Aussies are my people. You know, they're my people, man. We have a thing. We
00:01:41.860
have a common, common values, common interests, common history, common heritage. We have common
00:01:48.100
problems. We're facing the common enemy. We have a lot in common right now.
00:01:53.580
I wish Australians liked themselves as much as everybody else seems to like them.
00:01:59.580
Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, we always, we always want what we aren't, you know, or we
00:02:04.320
always want what we can't have that kind of thing. So, but the Aussies are based, man.
00:02:08.460
They're the, out of all the people I've spoken to on this app and in real life, the Aussies
00:02:12.820
are definitely the most base. So I got to give you credit for that.
00:02:15.520
Yeah. There's, um, there's not as many of us down here. So I think anyone who gets into
00:02:22.580
nationalism finds one another pretty quickly. And there's a more consolidated series of activists
00:02:29.420
and influences down here, because as I said, the population is just not as great as it is
00:02:34.900
in any other Western country. Uh, and I've been in the game or in activism and, uh, what would
00:02:43.820
you call it? Commentary, public speaking influence. I've been doing it for about 10 years now.
00:02:50.180
And currently what we're witnessing is a similar sort of similar, but not the same state of
00:02:58.600
circumstances where we have opportunity to really make waves and hammer our message home,
00:03:03.700
influence a great deal of people. The last time this opportunity came around was around 2015
00:03:08.180
during, uh, the particular disdain people seem to have for Islamic immigration around that period.
00:03:16.460
This time around, it's a little different. Uh, it really hasn't cycled back to the start. It's
00:03:21.660
spiraled and, you know, history tends to do that. We don't really cycle and experience the exact same
00:03:26.740
thing. We spiral and experience similar periods in time with their own trimmings and circumstances,
00:03:32.580
which are always unique and advantageous to us in some way. So yeah, it's interesting times. We have
00:03:38.500
a lot of opportunity to get the message out, a lot more free speech available to us than what we've
00:03:43.240
had for the past five or six years. And, uh, luckily it's that the message is much more, um,
00:03:49.460
fundamentally nationalist. Now we're able to push a more fundamentally nationalist message
00:03:53.840
without worrying about upsetting people. We don't have to pertain to the anti-Islam message.
00:03:59.460
We can go a bit further and that's exciting. That's actually, actually, I was going to ask
00:04:05.160
you about that. So it's great that you started off with that. I was going to get you to give a
00:04:08.400
little summary of, you know, how you kind of got into this. Cause I'm sure you've told this story
00:04:11.620
a million times before. So, um, but yeah, that's awesome. Being anti-Islam is so passe now, right?
00:04:17.880
Like everyone's anti-Islam and you were like blazing trail. I see Ferry down there. Ferry,
00:04:24.080
I don't know if you're still wrestling Jeets. Oh, he's up. Yeah. I gave him a, or I sent one,
00:04:28.880
but I don't know if it's working with me. So. Hello, Mr. Ferryman. Hi, dear. Welcome.
00:04:38.440
Hello. How's it going? Yeah. Super good. So Blair, do you want to maybe base? Do you want
00:04:44.040
to tell Blair or Ferry can tell himself? Ferry is, uh, you know, if you don't know Blair,
00:04:48.740
you probably already know, but he's, uh, uh, presence, a Canadian nationalist, large presence,
00:04:54.920
but Ferry, you can, or what do you call it? Introduce yourself. Blair and I have spoken
00:04:59.620
once on a Twitter space, but yeah, obviously I've spoken with his podcast co-host multiple
00:05:07.580
times now. So I'm obviously familiar with Blair probably more so than he is with me, but that's
00:05:13.620
okay. Cause Blair has been doing this a lot longer than I have. So.
00:05:16.480
Yeah. But I really appreciate you here, man. Appreciate your support. You've got a respected
00:05:26.740
reputation within the community, a big platform. And I've seen the ferryman's toll pop up across
00:05:32.700
X and telegram for years now. So I really appreciate you being here, but who wants to begin with the
00:05:39.060
whole origin story? How do we begin? How do we start? Is that how we're going to start the space
00:05:44.140
off? How do you want to roll? Well, yeah, I, I, if you can hear me, I definitely, well,
00:05:49.900
that's when you can, okay. You first came onto my radar back in 2009 ish. And many of the listeners
00:05:57.840
here were just little babies in diapers, but in 2009, I remember it would have been, it would
00:06:05.480
have been 2019, 2019, right? 2009. When you were cutting heads off, uh, jeets or, I'm sorry,
00:06:13.400
not jeets. The Muslims, it was the Muslims, right. Officially I've never cut anyone's head
00:06:19.400
off. It was a dumb, it was a, it was a dummy. Technically. Yeah, of course. Okay. I'm not
00:06:26.040
explaining this well at all. I'll get over my stammering shortly. Um, we're bringing Joey
00:06:31.420
up, Joey. Welcome. She's also an Australian and, um, she's part of the posse that we love
00:06:38.640
so much. Um, we'll see if we can bring her up and she'll help co-host and help us manage.
00:06:43.840
And I think Joey's spoken to you. Yeah. We're going to keep it closed. My story. And I think
00:06:47.100
Joey's probably spoken to you before Blair, you probably will. You may remember or recognize
00:06:51.220
her when she comes up, but, uh, she knows. Yeah. Yeah. Love Joey. Yeah. There you go.
00:06:56.640
There you go, Joey. So, and then we're going to keep it closed Mike for a bit. Cause I don't
00:07:00.820
know how long, much time you have Blair. And I don't want to get a bunch of, you know,
00:07:03.960
just kind of, I want you to be able to just explain, you know, without any kind of pressure.
00:07:08.840
So we can go to hands after if we have time. Yeah. And Joey and I have raided Indian spaces
00:07:15.900
together before. She's an amazing teammate when we have to go tell the Indians to go back.
00:07:22.780
So we'll try and bring her up there, but let's talk about your origin story. Let's do that. Blair,
00:07:28.240
you have the floor. All right. I'll summarize as much as possible, uh, because it's a long
00:07:36.660
sort of a story. And that's the problem with origin stories. First of all, I don't really
00:07:41.000
like talking about myself that much to begin with, but if you do fail to summarize them
00:07:47.420
effectively, you can kind of start rambling about details that don't really matter so much
00:07:51.680
because you get into a bit of a, uh, you know, you get into the history of all the ins and outs of
00:07:58.760
what brought you to where you are. And it's, it's better to just skim over it like a flat rock skimming
00:08:04.380
over the surface of a lake to give people a general picture. So that's what I'll try to do now.
00:08:08.880
Uh, I'm a somewhat of an unusual case because I didn't have any education at all. Uh, I got
00:08:16.440
frequently suspended from a public high school, uh, had a good family, you know, like had a good
00:08:22.840
father and a mother who both worked, but, uh, I was pulled out of school early, started an
00:08:29.560
apprenticeship with my uncle, my father's youngest brother. He was a residential builder and I was,
00:08:34.680
I was an apprentice carpenter, but I wasn't really taught any carpentry. I had to learn carpentry
00:08:38.600
after my apprenticeship. I was just kind of used for labor purposes and wasn't treated very well.
00:08:44.880
So I didn't, uh, I developed good work ethic, but not really a good, uh, relationship with
00:08:51.160
working generally, but I did work hard. Uh, I had a chip on my shoulder though, because of the way I
00:08:57.060
was treated. So, uh, I started staying out late and hanging around with some bad people and getting
00:09:03.520
into street fights and so forth. My mom was really upset about that because I would come home and half
00:09:08.540
my head would be swollen and my eye would be like completely closed over from receiving punches in the
00:09:13.940
face. I don't know why I was doing this, to be honest. It was, uh, just a way to express frustration
00:09:19.280
and, you know, dominance over the local community, I suppose. Uh, but then, uh, I had this girlfriend
00:09:27.360
at the time who I liked very much. She cheats on me. I find out who she's cheating on me with,
00:09:32.040
and I set the guy's house on fire. So I land myself in jail and I do about a year and a half,
00:09:36.940
just over a year and a half in jail in a maximum security prison called Port Phillip prison in
00:09:41.960
Australia, where for the first time in my life, I learned some real Australian history.
00:09:45.680
You don't really learn Australian history in Australian schooling. You learn it when you go
00:09:48.820
to jail. The reason for that is all the units in the prison are named after the ships in the first
00:09:53.560
fleet, like Borrowdale, Fishburne, Pennine, Sirius. And I came to realize that that's, those were the
00:10:00.700
names of the ships that first arrived to Australia during the colonization, the British colonization.
00:10:05.720
So I got some education there, but the real education I had in jail was from one particular book
00:10:10.500
called Mein Kampf. I did buy this book before I went to prison because I saw it on a random,
00:10:16.240
you know, shelf in some weird bookstore North of Melbourne while I was working in the city,
00:10:21.480
but I never really got the chance to fully read it until I went to jail. Uh, in jail, I got the chance
00:10:28.300
to truly delve into that book and fully understand its, uh, its essence and even how it might apply to,
00:10:35.220
uh, modern day Australia. I realized that German national socialism was very much
00:10:40.460
a German phenomenon and was a result of the personality of Adolf Hitler. So I was under no
00:10:47.840
illusions about national socialism in its original form ever coming back. But I did believe that
00:10:54.780
a brand of Australian nationalism was both necessary for the survival of our country and possible
00:11:02.780
because I saw what was happening in prison. It was very much the same as what was happening in
00:11:06.660
society. The community was being taken over by ethnic gangs and sort of groups, different races,
00:11:14.000
Arabs, black people, Maoris, all different sorts of people who are being, who are coming into the
00:11:18.800
country in mass. I witnessed that a bit of that as well during my street fighting days, the most
00:11:24.620
beef and the, some of the most, most, most dangerous fights that I was in involved characters from
00:11:31.140
other races. And there was a lot more honor amongst the white boys when we would fight.
00:11:35.460
If you fell to the ground, for example, you wouldn't be kicked and stomped in the head until
00:11:40.480
you were almost dead. Like when you would fall to the ground, people would stop hitting you. But
00:11:45.200
that wasn't the case when you were fighting with Africans. But, uh, anyway, I come out of prison
00:11:52.380
with this whole new perspective of reality. Oh my God. The guy they taught, told me about, uh, that they
00:12:00.760
taught me about rather in history, this genocidal madman, Adolf Hitler actually had a really good
00:12:06.780
point. And his whole philosophy is actually, uh, it seems like the best possible philosophy that any
00:12:13.340
country could adopt on a government level. And I've got to tell everyone about it, right? I come out of
00:12:18.480
jail at 22 with this new knowledge and I start trying to tell everybody about it. I have this
00:12:22.540
new girlfriend and she takes me to a family dinner and I just tell everyone about how Hitler was right.
00:12:26.560
Hitler was the good guy and everyone's been lied to. You're all stupid. You've all been tricked.
00:12:30.340
You've got to read Mein Kampf. Everyone has to read Mein Kampf. He couldn't take me anywhere,
00:12:33.700
right? So, um, a couple of years go by and I start to realize that shilling Hitler's book isn't
00:12:40.960
really working. No one's reading it despite my, uh, my recommendations. So, uh, I noticed this
00:12:48.000
whole new phenomenon passes by called Reclaim Australia. Mostly it's a group of Facebook
00:12:53.480
moms that are dissatisfied with Islamic immigration as a result of some incidents. Uh, one that
00:13:00.080
sparked it was called the Lind Cafe siege in Australia where a Muslim character took over
00:13:05.380
a Lind Cafe somewhere and he, you know, an armed response unit from either police or military
00:13:10.740
or both, I'm not sure, had to engage him in order to get him out of there and stop him
00:13:15.080
from killing people. And this triggered the Reclaim Australia movement, which didn't last
00:13:19.140
very long, but I used that as an opportunity to see if people were receptive to public speaking.
00:13:24.540
I gave my first public speech at a Reclaim Australia rally in April of 2015, where I also
00:13:29.940
met Tom Sewell for the first time. Uh, we kind of linked up on Facebook. He noticed that I
00:13:36.000
was talking about the rally. He'd heard about it and he wanted to go down to see what would
00:13:39.520
happen. I told him I was going to give a speech. He filmed me giving that speech and that
00:13:43.580
was the first time we met and we really bonded from then on. And we ended up with United Patriots
00:13:50.420
Fronts, which ended up being the most popular group very shortly after we started it. And
00:13:57.040
that's how we put ourselves on the map originally. But, uh, the, the goal was to sort of ride the
00:14:02.760
wave of this anti-Islam sentiment and culture and use it as a means for, uh, forcing onto the
00:14:11.780
people, a more nationalist perspective to have people understanding that the only reason we
00:14:16.660
have a problem with Muslim immigration in the first place is because we have corrupt
00:14:20.020
institutions and multiculturalism or, you know, the whole diversity agenda is a deliberate effort
00:14:25.940
to annihilate our nationality, that we need to completely strip from the institutions, everyone
00:14:32.400
who is hostile to our country and have a fully nationalized Australia once more. And, uh, that
00:14:38.980
was the kind of message that I was lacing into my content throughout those years. But then
00:14:43.880
Christchurch happens. Brenton Tarrant apparently shoots all these Muslims in this mosque and
00:14:48.640
the censorship hammer comes down hard in Australia. Suddenly I'm banned from everything. And I'm
00:14:53.660
also getting criminal charges for hate speech in relation to a protest that we did where we
00:14:58.000
cut a dummy's head off. We made a dummy out of pillows and cut its head off in an Islamic
00:15:02.020
style beheading. Seemed like an all right idea at the time because there were leftists,
00:15:06.120
you know, defiling Jesus effigies and cutting down crucifixes. So I thought it was within
00:15:10.780
the realm of what was acceptable and what was happening around the world, but not according
00:15:14.820
to the department of public prosecutions down here in Victoria, Australia, they thought it
00:15:19.180
was hate speech or the exact wording of the charge I got was intent to incite ridicule of
00:15:25.620
a specific class of people, namely Muslims in a Facebook post. I tried fighting that charge
00:15:31.200
for a few years and it kept me really busy. It wasted my time and my money, really my money
00:15:35.680
and the money that people donated to me to try to fight it. But I wasn't able to actually
00:15:40.520
take it all the way. I wanted to keep fighting it as long as possible to eventually get to
00:15:44.420
the high court so I could get out of the state courts, uh, tied up in this hooked net of the
00:15:50.380
justice system down here in Australia. I was for a few years with this, but then they just
00:15:53.720
closed my bank account. And by they, I suppose, I mean someone from some aspect of government
00:15:58.900
put pressure on the bank to close my bank accounts, not just one, but two different accounts.
00:16:04.360
Uh, one was personal and one was, I was using to, um, to raise funds for my, uh, my legal battle
00:16:11.520
at the time, but I wasn't able to continue to pay my lawyer or the court fees to get to
00:16:15.740
the high court because they just shut me down. No finances, no banking, no Facebook. I couldn't
00:16:20.540
keep people updated about what was happening in the courts because I was deleted from Facebook,
00:16:24.800
Twitter, Instagram. When TikTok came out, they banned me from that straight away as well.
00:16:31.140
And, uh, yeah, I don't know anybody in Australia who experienced censorship that heavy at the time.
00:16:36.880
It was very targeted and it was impossible for me to, um, to actually continue fighting that charge
00:16:44.000
in the courts. So I was convicted of it. It's still a conviction I'm wearing today.
00:16:47.260
And since then I've been just kind of biding my time, I suppose in, um, exile, so to speak in some
00:16:55.880
form of internet exile, which I'm emerging from now because as a result of Elon Musk buying Twitter
00:17:01.960
and allowing some form of free expression, I'm somewhat back on the scene and there's some
00:17:07.320
exciting developments. We've got a huge Australia day celebration down here, uh, next weekend on Sunday,
00:17:13.160
the 26th of January, which is the standard day on which we celebrate Australia day and, uh, recognize
00:17:19.240
our identity as Australians and how our, how our country was formed, which obviously as a nationalist,
00:17:23.900
that's very important to me. And that's kind of the whole thing. I hope I summarized that relatively
00:17:29.120
well. Um, yeah, if you've got any questions or anything, feel free to ask.
00:17:34.960
I just shared the post you put up for the Australia day, um, in the nest. So if anybody wants to see
00:17:40.200
that, what you were just, uh, referencing. So I don't know, base, did you want to, or Joey,
00:17:45.940
did you want to ask Blair something? Yeah. Come on in, Joey. Welcome Jojo. Hey.
00:17:57.140
didn't really want to make him go further. I think he covered it really smoothly, like he said.
00:18:05.140
Um, so yeah, I don't have any questions. Hey Blair, how are you?
00:18:10.600
I'm good. I'm glad people don't have too many questions because really I'm not that special.
00:18:14.260
I'm just a guy. I'm just a guy, a regular guy from the working suburbs who happened to read
00:18:20.200
Mein Kampf at a young age. And, you know, I, I saw the change in culture, but I didn't understand what
00:18:26.120
was happening to my country until I read Mein Kampf, until I read the perspective of, you know, Adolf Hitler
00:18:32.320
understood what national socialism was. Then my whole perspective of world war two started to
00:18:37.020
change. And then I found more information about, you know, the quote unquote Holocaust. I saw some
00:18:42.600
clips put together by William Luther Pierce. And I started to understand what the point of life was.
00:18:49.020
Uh, the point of life of my existence was to contribute to my ethnic collective and to make sure that
00:18:54.120
my race had a future. And I started to fully believe that. And I realized that that was probably,
00:19:00.440
there was no greater purpose besides having my own children. There was no greater purpose than
00:19:04.440
contributing to some sort of greater protection for my race. Right. So I'm just a guy, I'm just
00:19:09.680
a guy who figured that out. Um, so now here I am. So, well, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, babe. Um,
00:19:18.140
we'd like to welcome ASIO and CSIS who are listening in the anonymous listeners down there. And so you just
00:19:26.140
want to say hi to them and if they want to come up, take a mic, um, they're more than welcome. They
00:19:30.840
can, uh, conduct an interview up here on stage with all of us because the ferry has officers that
00:19:36.700
follow him around. I probably have one or two that quite like me. And, um, I'm sure Blair, you have
00:19:42.400
some who follow you. When you say, when you say you have officers to follow you around, are there
00:19:48.860
actually physical people following you? Is that what you mean? No, but they're in,
00:19:52.280
they're in the Twitter spaces, right? Like CSIS, uh, the Canadian search by agency has made it clear
00:19:58.960
security intelligence services is what it stands for, but yeah, that's right. And there, they do
00:20:05.020
make it clear that they are going to infiltrate right wing, um, spaces organizations. And so we just
00:20:12.880
assume that they're there with us all the time. And especially someone like the ferryman, they're
00:20:18.100
following him into all of his live streams and they're following him wherever he goes. And no
00:20:23.640
doubt you have some that have been assigned to you and they follow you wherever you go. Whenever
00:20:28.180
you speak, whenever you're doing a podcast, a stream, they're there listening. It's actually
00:20:33.340
making a bit of a, she's making a bit of a joke here. I know I'm sure you get it Blair, but
00:20:37.140
this is a misnomer. They're, they're way more lazy than that. They don't even do that anymore.
00:20:43.900
They use AI generated transcripts and then they keyword search for anything in particular that
00:20:50.580
they think they might need to, you know, keep tabs on. So they don't, they don't even do the
00:20:55.540
actual sit down and listen anymore. They're too lazy and too fat to do that.
00:21:02.100
It's too lesbian, I suppose too. We've had a few in spaces where you can pick them out straight
00:21:08.340
away if they grab a mic. I'm sure, uh, based on post you've experienced that as well.
00:21:14.900
Yeah, we just try to keep it to people we know, but, um, I guess I, you know, but, uh, I had,
00:21:21.760
I guess a question Blair, if you don't mind, I know I read in some of the articles they wrote about
00:21:25.940
you, um, in the past and how, when you were leading the United Patriot front that they're,
00:21:30.780
well, again, these articles are probably biased to be, you know, slander you or make you look bad,
00:21:35.020
but, uh, they talked about the fracturing of those organizations and what happens when there's a lot
00:21:40.300
of infighting. And I see that myself, I'm sure other people see that on in the online space,
00:21:45.180
which is par for the course when you're online. But how do you, you know, figure you prevent that
00:21:50.920
in IRL? Like when you guys get organizations together, how do you prevent that kind of
00:21:54.640
infighting and fracturing of it? Because we're not going to get anywhere, right? If we, if we keep
00:22:01.080
It's pretty easy. You just keep meeting up in person because there's this, uh, it's not really
00:22:09.120
a strange, it's a really obvious phenomena. When men are actually in the company physically of other
00:22:14.440
men, they treat each other with respect because if they don't, well, someone's going to break your
00:22:18.720
jaw or something. But the internet like brings out the worst in people because you get to sit in the
00:22:24.040
safety of your bedroom or your study and say whatever you want without consequence. It does have
00:22:28.360
consequence later, maybe in the form of, you know, as you described fracturing and people not liking
00:22:34.820
each other. But, uh, I think those physical meetups, getting everyone in the same room on a pretty
00:22:41.700
regular basis, it keeps everyone honest and it keeps everybody respectful. It's funny though, because
00:22:46.820
the internet does have that sort of effect where everyone's angry at each, angrier rather, at each
00:22:51.800
other online than they are when they're in a room together. You get everyone in a room together and
00:22:56.240
suddenly everyone's friends again. So it's just those physical meetups that I think, uh, make a
00:23:02.420
real difference. So you've got to remember that the internet's not a real world. It's a false reality
00:23:07.540
and, uh, you can get too carried away in that false reality. Sometimes you, you will notice too,
00:23:14.760
that when people post online, you can often be surprised by what they're saying, especially if you
00:23:22.000
know that person in real life, because you, you'll think to yourself, hang on, this seems like a
00:23:26.320
totally different person to the person I know in reality. And I think that's because a person's ego
00:23:32.960
comes to the forefront when they're on the internet. It's probably got something to do with that lack
00:23:39.220
of consequence or feeling a little bit secure, feeling like they can speak their mind because
00:23:44.940
there's going to be less repercussion for it. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know what it is. All I know
00:23:50.100
is that it's the internet that makes that infighting more serious than it needs to be. And it's often
00:23:55.240
about petty stuff as well, isn't it? It's often about someone being dissatisfied on a personal
00:24:01.080
level with somebody else. And I've never gone to that kind of stuff.
00:24:05.640
A lot of it's purity spiraling. And Ferryman can probably talk about this.
00:24:08.760
This is where I draw the distinction. I don't view, with very few exceptions, do I even consider
00:24:15.480
online squabbles to be infighting? If it's two men or personalities that are public-facing that have
00:24:23.600
legitimate organizations behind them or some kind of movement that they're actually the head of and
00:24:29.080
they manage and they're a real person, that's different. When you have two personalities like
00:24:34.280
that clashing, that is damaging because it forces people to take sides and creates all this animosity
00:24:41.560
that doesn't necessarily need to be there. However, that's very rare. It's very rare that
00:24:45.620
two people who are actually engaged in the process, you know, engage in that kind of public attack on
00:24:51.380
one another because they both inherently understand the bigger picture. If they're engaged in that
00:24:56.500
process, they've kind of figured it out. So like, it's very rare that you'll see a Thomas Russo in a
00:25:02.900
public squabble with a Thomas Sewell or something like that. It just doesn't happen.
00:25:07.020
Um, however, what you do see all the time is two anonymous idiots in the comment section,
00:25:12.780
uh, calling each other, all kinds of ridiculous names, fighting over religion, fighting over,
00:25:18.120
you know, some kind of whatever is the cause du jour. And that's not infighting. That's just
00:25:23.120
two anonymous idiots arguing on the internet and people get invested in these anonymous personalities
00:25:29.220
much more than they should. And don't realize that like this, this person is just because they have
00:25:34.760
a lot of Twitter followers or because, you know, you, you see them a lot in Twitter spaces,
00:25:39.140
that doesn't mean that they're actually anybody who's leading anything. They're just talking shit
00:25:43.700
most of the time. So being able to draw the distinction between online drama and actual
00:25:48.700
infighting is important. The best way to deal with the online drama is to just, just ignore it
00:25:53.660
because that's all it is. It's just, if you ignore it for a couple of days, it goes away.
00:25:57.800
Simple as it's easier to ignore. If you remember what your, your job is to, as a dissident on X or
00:26:06.980
some platform, you're trying to persuade people. You're trying to persuade people who aren't already
00:26:10.760
persuaded. You're trying to create content propaganda. You're not there, uh, for your own
00:26:16.620
personal, you know, egotistical reputation gain or something like that. It's not about what people
00:26:21.540
are saying about you. I mean, if someone like Thomas Rousseau, for example, jumped into the comments
00:26:26.320
of the last video I made and said, this is shit, Blair, you're a piece of shit. Fuck you.
00:26:30.260
I wouldn't even respond. I wouldn't care. Like, why would I, why would I care about that? I'm not
00:26:34.840
there to argue the merits of my personal qualities to Thomas Rousseau or somebody else who's got a big
00:26:41.180
name. And so he wouldn't do that anyway, obviously. But what I'm saying is my job is to persuade people.
00:26:46.620
My job is to get people to events and get people thinking about nationalism. It's not to argue.
00:26:52.140
Sometimes if someone's accusing me of lying or misleading people with some of my content,
00:26:58.600
then I might, uh, reply to that specifically just to prove to anyone who might see it,
00:27:04.100
that I'm not lying and here's my sources, but that's not really arguing. I don't,
00:27:08.160
I don't waste time arguing. I've written a post about why I think arguing is a waste of time because
00:27:13.180
when you argue, it's kind of like an aggressive attack against the person's subconscious and the
00:27:18.820
walls go up. When you do that, you can't actually persuade people by arguing with them. It makes
00:27:23.520
them even more stubbornly convinced of what they thought was right before. There's no point in
00:27:27.860
arguing. Actually arguing with people online is kind of like taking drugs in jail. There's this
00:27:33.880
class of people in jail that just take drugs. That's all they do. And they get into fights about
00:27:38.800
who owes what to who, because they're all in debt to each other over the drugs. And that's what prison
00:27:43.220
politics is. Right. And the internet's kind of the same in a way it's like arguing and strong
00:27:49.200
religious beliefs and quarrels are kind of the, the, the, uh, it's kind of the same thing. It's
00:27:55.520
like, it's really easy to stay out of like when you're on the internet, similarly to when you're
00:28:00.180
in prison, you're in a stupid place surrounded by stupid people. So don't do what everyone else is
00:28:05.340
doing. Don't just argue, realize that you can easily stay out of that stuff and, you know,
00:28:10.160
save a bit of your time and your soul in the process. No, I agree a hundred percent. I'm just
00:28:15.980
thinking like, I was just, I guess thinking from the con or from the view of maybe a younger male,
00:28:21.320
you know what I mean? I know men don't tend to get into the drama too much, although sometimes
00:28:24.740
online they do. Um, but yeah, I'm just thinking in terms of like younger males, young men, I reckon
00:28:31.200
young men or undeveloped men will go for drama all the time because, and it's a natural thing too,
00:28:36.760
when someone challenges you, when they say something that it's, it's meant to insult you,
00:28:41.720
then the normal male response is to bury that person, right? You crush the person who's challenging
00:28:48.520
you. And if you don't do that, you feel internally, perhaps like you're a coward, you're weak. You feel
00:28:53.620
crushed internally by your, your lack of response. But you know, when you, when you grow up a little
00:28:59.440
bit, you start to realize that that saying he who conquers you. So he, he, who angers you,
00:29:04.500
it conquers you. You don't want to be so reactive to the words of people. They're just words,
00:29:10.360
they're words on a screen, they're noise out in the atmosphere. And you don't need to be so easily
00:29:14.440
controlled and moved by those things. Like I said, we've got a job, just focus on your job,
00:29:18.640
which is to be persuasive, to propagate a message, not to argue with people.
00:29:26.340
Yeah. One of the wise things Ferry once shared with me is stay the hell out of group chats too. And so
00:29:31.940
I've, I've taken that, I've taken that to heart. And every time I get scooped into a group chat,
00:29:37.380
I'm like, boink, I just jump out. Cause there's like, it's so true. That's so true. I'm not,
00:29:43.940
I'm in group chats, but I don't look at, I barely look at them. I barely look at them because
00:29:49.320
I'm not trying to, I already know what I believe. And the only reason I would observe any group chat
00:29:55.680
that I'm in is to get ideas about how I can make some new content or something like that. But
00:30:01.680
you got to look at where your energy is going. If your energy is going to just like arguing about
00:30:07.000
small details of the philosophy with other people who are already for the most part allies, it's,
00:30:12.180
it's like, that's kind of not worth it to me. I'd rather persuade tens of thousands or hundreds
00:30:16.840
of thousands of people over to nationalism who haven't previously been exposed to that message.
00:30:21.120
I think that's more impactful and effective. And if you're not actually making content like that,
00:30:26.320
then, you know, there's intermediate roles where you can be involved in the propagation of that
00:30:30.040
content, help people receive that content. So, you know, where, where's your energy going,
00:30:34.860
right? That's, that's the point of what I'm saying, I guess.
00:30:38.360
Yeah, a hundred percent. And, you know, and I think it's very feminine in what it does is,
00:30:44.300
um, group chats, a lot of it, when, when it really gets cooking, you know, it's meant
00:30:48.760
to do reputational damage to others, right? So it's start the rumors, spread the rumor.
00:30:54.740
It festers like a, an abscess in a group chat. And then it goes out online and like,
00:31:00.780
oh my God, have you heard about this person? They're a tranny. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:04.340
And it just like, that's how, and that's how that sausage gets me.
00:31:09.460
This is where I would clarify here is I'm not opposed to group chats inherently.
00:31:14.800
What I am opposed to is people creating these big catch-all kind of like, um, amplification
00:31:23.800
networks for, for themselves through in particular, Twitter group chats are bad for this and they
00:31:29.840
are drama machines. Um, the, the problem I find with group chats is as you know, Blair was
00:31:35.880
kind of alluding to this is a lot of times they're not being used constructively. So, you
00:31:40.680
know, for most people know, I'm not a huge fan of say like the gripers, but one thing
00:31:45.740
they do very well through their discord servers is they channel their message and they get
00:31:51.860
everybody on board with the same talking points. And then they go out and they target, um, you
00:31:57.380
know, conservative influencers or politicians or stuff like that. This is a constructive use
00:32:03.240
of, of online activism that we need to get better at, particularly, um, with, with
00:32:09.120
this coming confrontation between nationalists and conservatives. That's going to really,
00:32:14.220
I think it's really going to heat up in the next few months. So being able to channel people
00:32:18.780
is one thing, but, uh, unfortunately, you know, people as Blair kind of touched on is like
00:32:24.720
their, their ego comes to the forefront. It becomes about, um, you know, how do I get
00:32:29.240
more followers? How do I get more clicks views? How do I persuade somebody that I'm better
00:32:35.080
than this person, as opposed to actually focusing on, uh, propagating the message.
00:32:40.120
So, um, like, again, like it's not that there are probably, I'm in a ton of group chats, but
00:32:46.020
it's all my, it's all the boys, right. It's all for, for constructive purposes. And I only
00:32:50.680
go in there as Blair said, whenever, you know, you have something constructive that you want
00:32:54.120
to do with them. So, um, this is something that we need to like, obviously the, the IRL activism
00:33:00.580
is good. Um, and it's, it's important, like it, it's the thing that we're lacking the most,
00:33:05.800
but another thing that I, I think we do need to work on generally is using the online, um,
00:33:14.220
you know, uh, space to, in a more constructive way, as opposed to like, you know, things like
00:33:21.720
this are good where we sit around and talk, but, um, you know, there should be a lot more
00:33:26.000
of this being directed at how do we go on the attack? Like, how do we, um, you know,
00:33:30.560
use our collective strength to start, uh, subverting conservative messaging or influencing,
00:33:38.380
you know, a, a, a certain discussion that's going on in, in the wider discourse. Um, that
00:33:44.360
kind of online activism is incredibly powerful. And again, there's no better example of it than
00:33:48.500
the Groypers, whatever you think of them, they're, they're very good at it. And it has allowed
00:33:52.460
them to inject themselves in conversations that they otherwise would have no business in. So
00:33:57.480
yeah, the online, we, we need to work on that as well as the, the IRL.
00:34:03.700
What do you guys think about public facing? Sorry, just one second. Oh, I just wanted to talk about
00:34:09.340
the group chats, but yeah, go. Well, yeah, this ties into it. And, and, um, I guess when we're
00:34:17.600
dealing with so many anonymous people online, um, and there's less concerns about, well, you know,
00:34:24.780
no one knows who I am and versus the people who actually use their real names, you know,
00:34:30.020
Ferry's public facing, Blair's public facing. I see Derek in here, Zach, Frank, there's public
00:34:35.980
facing people in this space. I've been, people know who I am as well. So, you know, I wonder if
00:34:42.620
the fact that your real name and your real face is attached to your profile has an impact on your
00:34:49.540
behavior in these spaces, right? People ultimately know where you live as it were.
00:34:56.580
It definitely would, but it's all about ego and what is ego? Can somebody chime in and give me
00:35:03.360
their perspective on that? What do you think ego is?
00:35:07.480
I think Joey might be able to answer that. Joey?
00:35:10.840
Go, Joe. Oh, I don't really, uh, know how to define it at this point. I think it's, um, it's,
00:35:19.420
it's your sense of self importance, obviously. Um, but also it's tied into pride and some other
00:35:29.420
negative, uh, basis of our personality, if that makes sense. It's very prideful.
00:35:36.260
How would you, um, how would you say you identify your ego? If your ego is going to pop up, what are
00:35:43.600
some of the, what are some of the ways you could understand that? Okay. I'm being driven by my
00:35:47.780
ego right now. Okay. I think the emotions rule the ego. So I think when you get emotionally out of
00:35:55.680
control, your ego can start driving. That makes sense. But Ferry was going to speak. So I'll jump in.
00:36:01.420
I was just going to, uh, the way I understand it is ego is the way that you perceive others
00:36:10.060
perceiving you. And so when you feel that others are perceiving you in a negative light,
00:36:14.340
um, this is where you will have this kind of egotistical response where you want to shape
00:36:20.420
the way that other people are viewing you. And so you act in a way that you otherwise wouldn't
00:36:25.000
in an attempt to elicit a certain response, um, you know, from them, you're trying to shape how
00:36:30.340
other people view you in a, in a positive light and, and, you know, investing emotional energy
00:36:35.640
into that, uh, perception. So, yeah, well, I don't know if it's a textbook definition, but that's just
00:36:43.320
ego is fear. It's all fear, fear of what people think of you, fear of what people are saying about
00:36:49.840
you, fear of appearing dumb, fear of being embarrassed. It's all fear, fear of not being
00:36:55.960
good enough stems into narcissism a little bit, but a good way to identify your ego is if you find
00:37:04.120
yourself talking to yourself, whispering to yourself over and over again about something,
00:37:08.600
if you hear that voice in your head repeating to you that this person's a problem, that you need to
00:37:15.040
kick back against this person, this person's humiliating, this person's embarrassing you,
00:37:18.700
you need to do something about this, that kind of thing. I need to do something about this. Often
00:37:22.020
these thought processes will be centered around the term I and what your ego is doing there.
00:37:28.160
And this is a really good perspective. I, I got it from a Guy Ritchie film revolver,
00:37:32.000
which I think is a really underrated film. The message in it is certainly underrated.
00:37:36.980
The ego tries to disguise itself as your own inner perception. And it's often not,
00:37:41.440
if you can separate your own inner perception from your ego, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve.
00:37:47.120
And you'll start to understand what's worth your time and what's not. So often the ego,
00:37:52.440
the voice in your head that you're hearing, that's compelling you to fight back against people that
00:37:57.380
are just going to waste your time. That's telling you to be afraid. That's telling you that you're a
00:38:03.040
fool and you need to do something because you're being embarrassed, that kind of thing. The thing
00:38:06.380
that's got you worried, that voice in your head, that's got you afraid. So often it's the whispers of
00:38:11.200
your ego and to distinguish between your ego and your own thoughts as a powerful tool. Once you,
00:38:20.620
I agree. And I think that does tie back to, so when I was saying pride and things like that, it's,
00:38:26.040
that's like someone's protective shell when they don't have a very strong sense of self.
00:38:30.580
I think if you have a strong sense of self and you are comfortable with who you are, then you,
00:38:35.640
you're less prone to that type of behavior. I would hope.
00:38:40.180
Yeah. You're, you're on point. You are on the money. Um, because what is pride, right? Pride is
00:38:46.240
something you hide behind in order to protect yourself. Sometimes even to protect yourself
00:38:51.740
from the reality, reality of your position, the reality of the, uh, certain, certain lack of
00:38:58.240
character you may be suffering. The point is that, uh, you needn't fear so much being the fool. You
00:39:06.380
needn't fear so much what people are going to think of you or say about you because you can't
00:39:11.760
always control those things. And it doesn't really matter anyway. All you need to do is continue to
00:39:15.920
present yourself best way you can and continue to propagate that message that you believe in.
00:39:22.680
And that's all that you really can control. And there's always going to be people that think
00:39:26.520
you're stupid. There's always going to be people that laugh at you. You're never going to please
00:39:30.080
everybody, but that doesn't matter. All you can do is do the best possible job that you're capable
00:39:34.560
of doing to stay cool and spread that level-headed, effective version of the message. That's what I do
00:39:40.880
anyway. That's what I tell myself. That's actually very inspirational, Blair. Um, I brought up Frank.
00:39:48.680
I don't know if anybody else had anything, um, they wanted to share with Blair or say to Blair. Yeah,
00:39:53.560
go ahead, Joey. And then we'll let Frank come up. Thank you. I just wanted to go back to the
00:39:57.400
quickly, just quickly to the group chat conversation. There are, I'm not in very many
00:40:02.920
for the reasons that people talked about, but we do have one that is absolutely excellent in
00:40:08.840
Australia. And what it's designed for essentially is, you know, when, uh, we can get political capital
00:40:16.280
out of a certain topic, it will be raised in the group chat and the whole group chat will go over and,
00:40:21.680
you know, whatever politician or whatever high profile person or media has released something
00:40:28.160
that's, you know, ludicrous or lying or the usual, the usual stuff does have a very big effect on
00:40:37.920
their standing in that argument, the people that we're against. So I think that's a fantastic use of
00:40:44.640
it, but it is very rare. That's the one group chat that I wouldn't leave. Uh, and that we, we do do a lot
00:40:51.040
of good work in Australia, at least maybe because we're smaller as well. It's easier to get people
00:40:56.400
together to do that. So they can be used as Ferry was saying, if they're directed and guided and,
00:41:02.640
and you've got good people in them that aren't looking to do ego based things or argue or whatever,
00:41:07.680
you can get a really good result out of those. I just wanted to make that point. It is something that
00:41:11.360
we, we, we can use if we can sharpen it and refine it and make it a smooth functioning machine,
00:41:20.480
which it else is, I think the one that I'm talking about. What would you say about that poster?
00:41:25.920
Yeah, for sure. And I was just going to say, that's the one that we actually use to,
00:41:30.160
because I'm Canadian, we have Australians in there, we have a few Americans. So we try to share,
00:41:35.040
like, for example, if there's a Canadian issue going on, some Canadian influencer says something really
00:41:39.760
stupid. That's incorrect. I, I'll share that in the, in the group chat and everybody will go over
00:41:44.320
there and it's just to kind of bring attention to our side. So yeah, it's a great use of, of that
00:41:49.680
chat, I think for sure. A hundred percent. Do you want to go to Frank? I don't know if you know who
00:41:55.440
Frank is Blair, but he can introduce himself, but Frank Da Silva is from the US. Go ahead, Frank.
00:42:01.760
Yeah, thanks guys. This is a very, uh, very interesting conversation. I kind of got in the
00:42:14.080
tail end of whatever the, uh, the drama scene was, uh, that was interesting as well, but this is kind
00:42:21.520
of more in my bailiwick and, uh, Blair, I'm not really too familiar with your background, but you
00:42:29.760
definitely have a interesting delivery. You got a good voice for radio. That's for sure.
00:42:35.120
So with that being said, I wanted to kind of, um, put my own two cents in on this ego thing, because
00:42:42.880
I have literally been around hundreds of personalities who were attempting to be something in
00:42:50.640
the world. And out of those hundreds, probably a dozen to two dozen individuals who really were
00:42:58.720
something. And so my comment is about ego. Ego is a, is a very, very good thing. Um, I would take
00:43:06.960
issue with Blair on the fear factor and I'm taking issue Blair because I I've sat in conclave with some
00:43:15.840
interesting minds, uh, world-class, uh, thinkers. I didn't even know who a lot of these guys were
00:43:22.480
until after several hours of conversation. And then I was introduced to them. Some of these guys
00:43:28.160
had letters, you know, after their name and so on and so forth. But what it ultimately comes down to,
00:43:34.880
you know, I mean, this is like years and years. So these bullet points are not going to do it justice.
00:43:41.440
But when you meet individuals who have strong personalities, ego comes with that. I don't have
00:43:47.440
a problem with ego. It's only the manifestation of the excess that I have always found. And indeed,
00:43:58.080
when you think about a man's life or a woman's life, if that ego is so dominant, if that self-perception
00:44:06.080
is so dominant, uh, that it becomes, um, I heard the word negative a couple of times, that would be the
00:44:12.560
only time ego is negative, uh, as far as I'm concerned. For instance, I think it was Blair that
00:44:20.080
brought up the, uh, analogy of when somebody presents themselves kind of strong, you know,
00:44:26.640
and they take issue with you, um, that reaction, and you guys know how I feel about reaction. I'm,
00:44:33.120
I definitely preach response and not reaction. However, the human element is such that when a threat comes,
00:44:42.320
if somebody has a high level of survivability, um, people can, they can call it ego. Um, I like the
00:44:49.760
word pride. I think one of the ladies mentioned pride. I have no problem with, with pride. Um,
00:44:56.560
I'm a proud man. And all the men that I've known who were worth, worth anything were very, very proud
00:45:01.760
men. So when you dive down that rabbit hole, it's only the excess that I have found that has created a
00:45:10.320
negative atmosphere if you don't. Okay. So let me just backtrack a little bit. Ego to me is that still
00:45:18.800
small voice, uh, which is adjacent to our soul, if you will. And some men have strong souls and the,
00:45:28.720
the incumbent ego is a necessary by-product of that strong spirit or that strong soul.
00:45:36.320
And for the moment I'll land it here and just say that the dialogue that I have with some of these
00:45:42.240
pretty interesting individuals that I have met in my life always comes down to these two poles.
00:45:49.440
One group is a group that proposes you, uh, unity, you know, like a cosmo, cosmological unity,
00:45:58.080
but I am a dualist and I'm a dualist because it's part of my genetic nature. It's part of my soul
00:46:06.400
nature, if you will. And I have literally listened to hundreds of hours of very deep,
00:46:13.840
passionate conversations from theosophists to, uh, TM people to, you know, a lot of, a lot of the people
00:46:21.440
that broach these extraneous, maybe not extraneous, but these, uh, they push the boundaries of this,
00:46:29.520
this type of discussion, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to interject a comment tonight,
00:46:34.640
because I really do enjoy this. Uh, but as a, as a dualist, um, there is a compatibility
00:46:42.240
between these extremes that I find not only a part of natural law, but I've seen it in action.
00:46:49.520
And when guys, uh, when men take a position that they want to suppress the ego, which is a lot of
00:46:57.520
this, these unifiers, they all, they always talk about this, you know, suppress the ego. And I,
00:47:04.560
I've gotten into heated discussions with some of these guys before I knew who they were. And after I found
00:47:10.160
out who they were, I really dove in because they had access to literally millions of people who read
00:47:16.720
their books, who listened to their radio shows and so on and so forth. So going forward when,
00:47:24.480
you know, this drama on, on X, you know, these, these social medias, they are a pitfall.
00:47:30.560
They're a very, very deep abyss. And so I never really pay any attention to it.
00:47:35.600
Um, but there are, there are times where I think it was, um, um, I think it was Ferry that was talking
00:47:45.680
about, um, two legitimate figures, uh, going through some type of a, of a jousting session.
00:47:52.560
Yeah. These kinds of things must not take place. If these guys, if ego gets in the way, they're going to
00:47:59.280
become drama queens on these spaces. But if these men want to actually
00:48:04.080
qualify each other's positions and, or they have an antagonistic position against one another,
00:48:09.920
and they don't consider the folk at large, and then they, they air their dirty laundry. I stay
00:48:16.160
away from these people. These people are no good. But if they can actually take that drama
00:48:22.160
and kind of broaden the conceptualization of that and discuss with one another,
00:48:28.320
get over their personal, you know, issues, and then figure out a way that they can,
00:48:34.480
at least for the moment, separate themselves from their emotions for the benefit of the folk.
00:48:41.200
These are the kind of leaders that I would follow. These are the kind of men that I would listen to
00:48:46.480
around a campfire, uh, or in an auditorium. Uh, anything less than that, um, is a waste of my time,
00:48:54.000
and it's very dysfunctional to our, to our people. So I enjoyed this conversation, guys. Really,
00:48:59.760
these conversations have become very rare in our circles. And so to Blair, uh, in passing, um, and
00:49:08.880
in closing, um, I welcome, you know, a very reasonable voice like yourself, and I'm looking
00:49:15.280
forward to hearing more of your commentary. Thanks for the mic posting.
00:49:18.720
And, uh, yeah, appreciate it. Thanks. Your input's always appreciated, Frank. Thank you.
00:49:24.320
I don't know if anybody. Yeah, go ahead, Blair. I'm glad you chimed in with that.
00:49:29.040
Because you'll notice that I said regarding ego to make a distinction between your own thoughts
00:49:35.120
and the whispers of your ego, because I don't believe in ego death. The only time your ego dies
00:49:40.880
is when you, your body does. The ego is a very physical entity and we exist on the physical plane.
00:49:47.200
So your ego lives in your physical body. That's why people with larger bodies tend to have bigger
00:49:52.640
egos or bigger ego expression, right? So, uh, ego is fear and, uh, operates primarily through fear,
00:49:59.840
but we survive through fear. The ego is a survival tool. You need it. If you're going to be someone
00:50:05.120
without an ego, for example, uh, think of one of those clap along Pentecostal Christians that's
00:50:11.040
friends with everyone and believes that violence is never acceptable and just lets everyone walk all over
00:50:15.360
them all the time. Like that's not really an effective way to live on the physical plane.
00:50:20.240
You need to be afraid sometimes, but you need to control, uh, what that fear motivates you to do
00:50:25.920
by having an understanding of the kind of ego you've got, because there's different types of ego out
00:50:30.480
there. Some people's egos have them cutting their wrists. Other people's egos having them, you know,
00:50:36.160
have them enjoying cruelty and deriving pleasure from inflicting pain on others. But these things
00:50:41.760
aren't generally necessary. So that's what you've got to be careful of that. Be careful that your
00:50:45.760
ego doesn't have you doing things that aren't necessary. And the reason I know this is because
00:50:49.920
I have a monstrous ego myself, one that allows me to be on my own for years at a time and not be
00:50:55.920
lonely because it keeps me company. I can have conversations with my ego and it will argue with
00:51:00.320
me. I can have two different minds about something because it's literally a perspective I've got battling
00:51:06.320
against an idea, an opposing idea that my ego is presenting. I can sit in my bedroom for weeks,
00:51:11.440
months, years, thinking about things and just being in conversation with my own,
00:51:16.160
what is disguised as my own inner perception, which I see as my ego. So that's why I think for me,
00:51:21.680
this is a subject that's particularly interesting, but you definitely need an ego, right? Uh, you do need
00:51:27.680
an ego. You just need a good partnership with your ego. You know, only your ego, only a deceptive ego will
00:51:34.320
have you actually believing that you're completely in control of your own actions.
00:51:38.560
No one's ever completely in control of their own actions, really. Everyone's susceptible to some
00:51:43.120
influence by fear, some influence by ego, but you need to do your best to create a balance,
00:51:48.560
to mitigate the effect that those feelings have over you, right? So good partnership with the ego
00:51:54.160
should be your goal. I think that's really well explained. And I think what you want to do in
00:51:59.600
terms of what Blair was saying before is to get ourselves out of that ego mode when we should,
00:52:05.440
when we really, really need to. And it was talking about how you present on here and how you interact
00:52:11.120
with people and how you focus on your job and push the message that requires you to set your ego aside
00:52:17.520
and go to that higher consciousness, higher level of thinking, higher order thinking,
00:52:22.800
executive functioning, that type of thing, and use that to make your moves, if that makes sense.
00:52:28.240
Yeah. But, uh, look, we've gotten pretty deep, pretty quickly.
00:52:40.160
Tell me about, uh, tell me, start off by, tell me about Canada. Tell me something interesting about
00:52:46.080
Ferry go. Ferry's our Canadian expert. Yeah. Sing some songs.
00:52:52.560
I'm not sure what you mean. What's the, I'll ask some, I'll make it easy. Ask some specifics,
00:52:57.920
right? Like what's the immigration like there? What's the demographic like? What kind of attitude
00:53:03.040
does the government have regarding immigration? Going great.
00:53:05.600
And what do the people think about it? Going really great.
00:53:07.360
Mike, tell me. All right. So immigration is out of control as it is everywhere. I think Canada
00:53:14.320
has the highest per capita legal immigration in the world at the current moment. Although I'm not
00:53:20.800
sure. Australia's I think is close, but I think Canada edges it out slightly. So it's not good. Um,
00:53:28.640
and obviously it's not, uh, the ideal type of immigration that you would want in a, in a, you know,
00:53:35.440
scenario. It's not exactly like it's Anglos and Scots, it's Indians and Chinese and Africans.
00:53:40.880
So obviously it's very similar to the demographics that Australia is getting. Um, in terms of like
00:53:46.640
overall demographics, uh, Canada is, uh, like if I could do it on a, in a chronological order,
00:53:54.960
if you want. Um, when I was born, Canada was, uh, 90, 92% white. That was 1989 by 2000,
00:54:03.920
it had dropped below 90%. Um, by 2015, it had, uh, dropped below 80%. And now it is staring down
00:54:13.200
the barrel of 62%. So, uh, there's been, you know, almost a 30% change in the last 25 years in
00:54:20.000
the racial demographics of this country on top of that. Um, so roughly, uh, 33% of Canadians,
00:54:29.280
uh, sorry, I shouldn't say Canadians of people currently residing in Canada were not born in
00:54:34.320
this country, or they are the direct descendant of a, of an immigrant that's come here in the last,
00:54:40.400
uh, couple of decades. So that's not even like a pure non, uh, you know, number of nons. I'm not
00:54:46.800
sure what it would be exactly, but it's roughly a third of Canadians were not born here or are the
00:54:53.840
direct descendant of somebody who was not born here. Um, on top of that, um, like currently right
00:55:01.120
now, roughly 20, uh, I think it's 25% of people currently residing in Canada are not even citizens.
00:55:08.720
So not only are they not, um, you know, European or born in Canada, but they're not even citizens.
00:55:16.080
So we're talking about a quarter of the population, um, that is, has come here very recently. Like,
00:55:22.960
as in, like you would, you only have to be in Canada for three years to get citizenship.
00:55:27.360
So you would assume that most people are trying to go through that process. And the way this breaks
00:55:31.680
down is we have roughly, um, 8 million permanent residents. We have 2.5 to 3 million temporary
00:55:40.320
residents. We have another couple of million, uh, international students, and then we have
00:55:46.080
somewhere between a million to 2 million asylum seekers. So when you add that up, it, it, you know,
00:55:51.280
it's, um, somewhere in the range, I, it depends on the estimates, but somewhere in the range of
00:55:56.080
10 to 15 million. Uh, so you can see where that 25% comes in. These are not citizens. They're just
00:56:03.840
people who have shown up here and, uh, you know, under various, um, circumstances and now reside here.
00:56:11.520
So it's a pretty dire demographic situation in Canada. However, what this has done because it's
00:56:19.200
happened so quickly, uh, particularly in the last couple of years where we had absurd levels of
00:56:24.160
immigration, um, it has had a shock effect on the, on the Canadian populace, on the actual Canadian
00:56:30.400
people. And Canadians have become more racially conscious in the last two years than they probably
00:56:36.480
have been, uh, since the 1960s. Um, particularly Indian immigration, you know, I, I know Joel likes
00:56:44.240
to talk about this and he's absolutely right. Um, there's something about Indians in particular
00:56:49.600
that the European mind just fundamentally rejects at a visceral, vitriolic, you know,
00:56:55.840
hateful level. Like we really just don't like these people. And, you know, it's, it's easy to,
00:57:01.680
to, you know, uh, you know, just kind of avoid whenever they're 2% of the population or 3% of the
00:57:09.680
population, but you know, they're approaching 10% of the Canadian population now, and it's impossible to,
00:57:15.360
you know, live anywhere in the country without interacting with these people on a daily basis,
00:57:20.240
unless you're in the remote wildernesses of Canada. And even then there's a good chance,
00:57:25.200
like I've been into some pretty remote places in Canada, even then it's most likely that your gas
00:57:30.880
station is being run by Indians or that the, whatever restaurant is there is now owned and
00:57:35.600
run by Indians. And so there's this aspect of these people where they're just everywhere.
00:57:40.640
I, we recently did a cross country. Well, this summer we did a cross country tour, uh, 17 stops,
00:57:46.480
you know, coast to coast and every single gas station, every single fast food restaurant,
00:57:53.500
every single convenience store, every it's all Indian. You can't. And the crazy thing is that
00:57:59.640
you can actually see the demographics changing day by day. Now it's gotten to the point where it's
00:58:05.000
noticeably more Indian by the day. And that's because it literally is. We're talking about
00:58:09.760
thousands of these people coming in every day. I think if you, if you, uh, break it down, it was
00:58:15.700
like, um, like a small city is coming in every month, um, or more. So, you know, a hundred thousand
00:58:23.200
or more people. So when it, when you look around and you feel that, you know, why does it feel like
00:58:29.740
it's getting more Indian by the day? Well, it is, it literally is. Um, so that that's basically how,
00:58:36.220
like, as I said, though, there's, there's a silver lining to this, which is, um, we've moved past the
00:58:41.480
point of people making economic arguments against immigration. And now they're starting to make very
00:58:47.460
explicitly racial and ethnic arguments against immigration, which is a fundamental step that
00:58:52.980
people need to take. Once they can get past the, the, the kind of conservative framework of,
00:58:59.360
you know, immigration is bad because of the effects on healthcare or housing or, uh, wages or
00:59:05.940
anything like that. And they can just straight up say, no, you know what? I just don't like these
00:59:10.160
people. That's, that's when you've really won, um, the, the, the discussion because they're not even
00:59:16.500
arguing anymore at that point. It's not a matter of let's debate whether or not this is good for the
00:59:21.460
country. It's, it's people have decided in their minds that it is not good for their country and they
00:59:26.320
don't like it. So that, that is rapidly becoming the situation.
00:59:29.820
Can I just, um, seems like it's very similar down here in Australia. There are still areas in
00:59:36.680
Australia, which aren't heavily affected by Indian immigration, but there's only a few of them. Uh,
00:59:42.780
I live in one of those areas that's not so affected and even I'm noticing more of them moving in.
00:59:48.860
And as you said, it's almost like a day by day, week by week thing where you notice you're
00:59:52.320
interacting with Indians more frequently, they're in traffic, holding up traffic more frequently,
00:59:58.920
uh, fast food restaurants. They seem to frequent those places because they're always driving for
01:00:04.280
Uber. But can I ask you guys, what do you think is the more effective strategy? Would it be, I think
01:00:11.620
they call it balkanization. Do you find your own community, your own space and separate,
01:00:16.300
or do you think, uh, sort of going into politics and trying to take as much power as possible for
01:00:23.880
the purposes of mass deportations would be more effective? I think the, the latter kind of sounds
01:00:30.220
preferable to me. Obviously it's going to be a much harder battle and I don't see any reason not
01:00:36.700
to do both at the same time, but what do you guys think about those two strategies for our survival?
01:00:42.280
Which one's going to produce better results? Before we answer, I just, I can't help but say,
01:00:47.020
I think it's hilarious that in an, in a discussion where you are the subject of discussion, you,
01:00:53.160
you're the one asking the questions, which is very typical of what I've seen from you
01:00:57.320
in general. You're, you're, you're a very perceiving person, aren't you? You, you always want to know
01:01:02.960
what the other, like, I see you do this with Tom and Joel all the time. You're always the one that
01:01:07.140
wants, wants their opinion on, on the topic. I find it. Yeah. I've, yeah, I do. I, I want perspective
01:01:17.020
because listening to the perspective of others helps to broaden my own, you know, like, uh, so
01:01:22.640
that's what I try. I try to use spaces like this as an opportunity, not just to broaden my own
01:01:28.360
perspective, but the perspective of the audience. Right. So maybe, I don't know. Yeah. The two,
01:01:32.200
that's you. Sorry. I was gonna say, I don't know if maybe Ferry wants to respond to that. Sorry,
01:01:36.120
Blair. I'm. Well, yeah, I will respond to it. I didn't mean to put Blair on the spot. I just think
01:01:40.300
it's, it's an interesting thing about Blair in particular, an odd quality in a, in a personality
01:01:45.440
that is so public facing because usually everybody wants to have the discussion and Blair seems to
01:01:50.820
always be the one asking the questions of others, but, um. Well, and it's kind of tied into what I
01:01:55.960
wanted to, we kind of wanted to talk about political aspirations for you, Blair. So this is perfect segue.
01:01:59.960
So yeah, I think, go ahead, Ferry. The, to answer Blair's question, I think there has to be an
01:02:05.640
element of both. I think, uh, obviously I'm pretty familiar with, um, what Tom and, uh, the NSN guys
01:02:12.420
are, are planning to do with their homesteading kind of project. And I agree, uh, with a lot of what
01:02:19.140
they've said about it. I think that you need to be able to remove healthy elements from a, a sick society
01:02:25.300
community and give them a place that they can expand and, you know, um, live in a healthy
01:02:31.540
environment. Uh, however, ultimately that's just another form of, of white flight. Um, I did like
01:02:38.300
how Tom put it recently where he said, there's a difference between white flight and white
01:02:43.020
fortressing, which is different. Like if you're planning on withdrawing from, um, you know, the,
01:02:49.040
the urban centers so that you can build strong, um, you know, uh, homesteads from which to then
01:02:57.160
fight, um, that's, that's different than just trying to run away. But obviously, obviously this
01:03:03.100
has been happening organically everywhere. I mean, it's, it's certainly happened in Canada.
01:03:06.940
Everybody's familiar with this, which is what white flight has been going on since the 1960s,
01:03:11.680
since they opened up immigration from the third world, you know, people have moved away from city
01:03:16.680
centers, which is where the invaders are drawn to and they've moved further and further away. And
01:03:22.420
it's gotten to the point where you can't even really do that anymore. There's, there's nowhere
01:03:26.840
left to go. Um, and it's almost like that's frustrated the government too. The government's
01:03:32.520
made an effort to actually send immigrants to regional areas to chase white people down.
01:03:37.820
Absolutely. We have this in Canada. So we, there is a, I forget the exact name of it, but there's a
01:03:42.760
a government program that is specifically designed to send, uh, immigrants to rural and, uh, you know,
01:03:49.720
remote areas. So like it, into the fall. Yeah. Same in Australia, in Australia, in Australia,
01:03:54.840
these little organizations pop up applying for government funding and their specific role,
01:04:00.680
what they're getting funded to do is to bring as many immigrants into the area as possible.
01:04:04.060
And it's always regional towns. Yeah, exactly. And so like, I, I saw this, you know,
01:04:08.840
I was living in Calgary, Alberta. Um, but what would that have been, uh, a little under two years
01:04:16.120
ago. And, you know, it, the, the demographic change in Cal, I lived there for two years,
01:04:21.780
the demographic change in that city in that two years was unbelievable. Um, and then I, I moved to
01:04:28.660
a town, a very small town, which is about an hour from Calgary. And I was only there for eight
01:04:34.860
months. And in that time period, it went from, I didn't, I didn't see a single non-white to Indians
01:04:41.840
on the streets every day. So like that, that's like, I I've witnessed it. And so like, this is
01:04:48.100
what's going to happen. More people are going to leave the cities. Um, they're going to do the white
01:04:52.900
flight and they're slowly going to realize that there's nowhere else to run. The issue is the funny
01:04:57.920
thing is I don't even know if a lot of these people, at least a good chunk of them understand what
01:05:03.340
they're actually running from. Like, that's, what's so interesting about it to me is the mindset
01:05:07.640
of, do they even understand why they don't like living in the cities anymore? It's probably an
01:05:13.700
instinctive thing. Like, uh, most people are more feminine than they are masculine and the feminine
01:05:18.980
tends to operate on instinct and intuition rather than sort of conscious understanding. So they're
01:05:24.240
probably just moving away out of instinct. White flight is like an instinctual phenomenon.
01:05:28.360
They're not really doing it consciously. It's just like, they don't want to be there. They don't
01:05:32.200
understand why we understand why, but the average punter, they just want to get away from what they
01:05:38.100
feel is a hostile situation. Yeah. And that's why I say there's a difference between somebody who's
01:05:44.120
engaging in balkanization with intent, with, with an understanding of why they're doing it versus a lot
01:05:51.460
of these people who are just trying to get away. Um, it's basically the, uh, I just want to be left
01:05:57.140
alone, um, attitude. And that's part of the problem. If we hadn't have had this attitude,
01:06:03.640
uh, 60 years ago or pick a time period, it doesn't really matter 20 years ago, 30 years ago.
01:06:09.960
Um, there's, it wouldn't be such a problem today. And again, there's this tendency of,
01:06:15.080
especially with Canadians. I don't know if this is the same for Australians, but Canadians are always
01:06:19.840
looking for the path of least resistance. They're not a very, uh, hostile people, uh, in general,
01:06:26.160
right? Like we, there's a lot of go along to get along out of Canadians. Um, the, the good thing
01:06:32.460
is that that's finally coming to an end other, the, the days of the polite, just kind of, you know,
01:06:39.980
easy go lucky Canadian is coming to, to an end rapidly and they're getting hostile, um, in a way
01:06:46.680
that I didn't think they would honestly. But very, I just want to put it out there that, I mean, a lot of
01:06:54.920
this, um, willingness to reject the mass immigration has stemmed from yourself, from
01:07:03.120
Jeremy McKenzie, from Derek Rance, just as even a concept, right? To be willing to say
01:07:09.760
they have to go back, mass deportations now, remigration now. Before, I mean, you know,
01:07:17.420
growing up before it was popular opinion, it was not even a concept that we were allowed to even
01:07:24.360
contemplate growing up. It was like multiculturalism is good. And this is the first time that, you know,
01:07:31.380
we'd ever heard that actually, no, this has to stop. And, you know, we've seen an increase in credit
01:07:37.060
card theft, car theft, drug trafficking, gun trafficking, fraud, forgery, sexual assaults,
01:07:43.980
like our safe, homogeneous, in-group preference worlds are being shattered, where our children
01:07:52.120
don't even know a world where it isn't multicultural. And they don't know a world where they're allowed
01:07:59.500
to take their bikes and bike forever. And we're parents aren't worried about them. They don't even
01:08:05.040
know, because now they live in this world where we have to be concerned of Muslim kidnappings, or
01:08:11.300
Muslim rape gangs, or Indian kidnappings, and Indian rape gangs. Like, it's a whole new reality.
01:08:17.540
And thanks to the boys of Diagalon, I'll give them credit where it's due, and they've been influenced
01:08:23.340
by the Australian gentleman, that is for sure. It is now something that normies are starting to say,
01:08:30.680
even the conservative influencers, they're going, oh, geez, they must go back. Like, they're not getting
01:08:36.760
the phraseology right, but they're saying it. And this is a huge win, thanks to your work.
01:08:43.980
Well, this is where, if I could, I'd like to bounce something off of Blair, which is,
01:08:50.720
you know, how do I frame this? One of the things I see as being a major
01:08:57.120
debate or conflict in this coming year, and probably for the next two to three, is the battle
01:09:08.780
between nationalists and conservatives. And the way I've been phrasing this to people is like, look,
01:09:13.120
it's very obvious that the system is trying to retract and roll back some of its extreme policies.
01:09:22.040
I know Joel's talked about this with you as well, which is this kind of like, you know, journey back
01:09:28.920
to the center where, you know, the extreme policies of the left have become, have gotten to a point
01:09:35.240
where they're no longer productive for the system. They're actually damaging its ability to function
01:09:40.820
at this point. And so there's a desire to go back. And it's very clear that, you know, among the
01:09:49.140
entire population, these policies did not sink in. And so now that it's kind of like a two steps
01:09:55.760
forward, one step back scenario, where they're trying to bring it back and, you know, gatekeep
01:10:00.440
and, you know, ratchet theory, I guess, is the way to say it, where they've gone far enough. And now
01:10:06.880
they're going to let the conservatives take in and just kind of roll over for a bit. And like, this is
01:10:11.600
where the battle is going to take place. It's going to take place between nationalists and conservatives
01:10:16.780
in this kind of attempt to, you know, shape the energy that that exists on the right right now,
01:10:23.720
and, you know, guide it in a direction. And so I guess the question I would have for you is,
01:10:29.400
how do you think that we should approach that struggle? Or do you even see it like that?
01:10:36.720
I do fear that this perceived swing back to the right, or as you say, more conservative
01:10:43.120
politics is really just them slowing down their attack, because everyone's noticing what they're
01:10:49.260
doing. So it's kind of just like, reeling it in a little bit rather than actually giving us any
01:10:55.040
credibility. But I don't think that's entirely it. There's definitely an effort by elitists
01:11:00.440
to control the situation, to bring it back in and do it in a controlled way,
01:11:05.940
which I think you were explaining there too. You understand it that way as well.
01:11:11.560
I just think that the best way to approach the situation would be to build as much as we can
01:11:17.540
while we can. I always used to say that open war, the faster open war starts throughout the West in
01:11:25.220
regards to the question of immigration, the probably better chance that we stand. But we're not really
01:11:30.880
living in a situation like that. So I don't have all the answers about how we're going to solve all
01:11:38.780
of our problems in the next five to 10 years and make mass deportations or re-migration a thing.
01:11:44.780
Specifically, I'm more interested in how I'm going to contribute to the situation or to
01:11:49.460
helping our situation in my own country. But all I know is that I'm surprised that I'm allowed back
01:11:56.780
on social media. I'm still almost waiting for them to ban me again. That's why I haven't really
01:12:02.680
posted that much to it. And I still have to support myself through my own business. And that takes up
01:12:08.120
a lot of my time throughout the week. And I use social media for that as well. So I'm reckoning with
01:12:15.560
the fact that I'm actually able to emerge back out of exile and use social media again, make content
01:12:20.860
that reaches people. And now there's actually a physical event taking place, which I've been asked to
01:12:25.680
attend and participate in. And so as I explained at the start of this space, we're spiraling back or
01:12:32.240
back around to a similar position where we were in 2015, where we have great opportunity to build
01:12:38.420
something tangible that can have real impacts on culture, not just in Australia, but across the
01:12:44.080
Western world. We need to establish a real foothold in official politics somehow. And so there's
01:12:50.920
definitely going to be strategies as to how we're going to do that. Well, there should be in the next
01:12:55.460
like six to 12 months. There's definitely people we can put up for the Senate in Australia, for
01:13:00.020
example. We can get real people, even if it's just for exposure, they don't necessarily have to
01:13:04.900
achieve anything in the short term. We need to get our message on the table. We need to
01:13:09.240
re-establish a strong sense of national identity. And again, at the start of the space, I remarked
01:13:16.660
that this is an exciting sort of turn of events. The circumstances that we're presented with now,
01:13:22.960
it's exciting because we don't need to limit ourselves as much as we did back in 2015,
01:13:27.920
2016. We can be much more fundamentalist about the essence of our message, which is racial,
01:13:34.140
nationalistic. People are ready to receive that message now. And so there's going to be
01:13:37.920
a shift in the public consciousness, I think, and we're going to be spearheading that shift.
01:13:42.700
That's awesome. That's actually, that was something I wanted to know if, yeah, you had
01:13:48.580
political aspirations yourself, or do you think it'll just be somebody in the kind of national
01:13:57.680
I'm a good, I'm more of an advisor. I'd rather not do it myself. But we have some really good young
01:14:04.140
fellows popping up from new generation who are very passionate about the situation in the country
01:14:09.740
right now. And most of them in terms of reputation and history are pretty clean. So there's, there's
01:14:15.140
probably better options than me personally, although I would generate a great deal of controversy. So if
01:14:19.760
we were doing it specifically for exposure, a bit of fun to really drive the message home, yeah,
01:14:25.020
I might be a good choice for that reason. But personally, I'd rather not do it. We'll see what
01:14:30.900
I mean, I think you're so well-spoken and very knowledgeable. I think you would probably
01:14:35.560
do really well in that, that sphere, but I can understand why you probably don't want to, because then
01:14:41.180
everything's off the table right now. You're totally exposed and they're going to dig up even more than
01:14:49.660
There's nothing they won't do to bury you at the end of the day. And it's not that I'm afraid.
01:14:55.400
Sorry, I was just eating some chicken. I'm like on a, I'm on a, I'm on a, like a bodybuilding diet
01:15:00.880
schedule. So I'm like, Oh my God, it's time to eat. I have to eat right now. I get a little bit
01:15:04.460
pedantic with it. But, um, it's not that I'm afraid. It's just that I feel like someone could
01:15:10.620
be more effective. And so for the time being, I'd rather just give my advice to whoever that might
01:15:15.540
be. But if nobody comes forward and it ends up being the sort of situation where, you know,
01:15:22.140
there's no one better, then obviously I'll have to step up, but we'll see what happens. Like, uh,
01:15:27.480
anything's possible. Uh, but we need to be quick and we need to act at the right time. Uh, and all these
01:15:33.540
discussions are already happening behind the scenes between the guys and the various
01:15:36.760
networks in Australia. That's awesome. Um, is there anything else you ladies or fairy,
01:15:42.940
did you want to discuss, or do you want to move to maybe if Belair has a little bit more time,
01:15:46.280
talk to move to a couple of hands or how do you want to go? You can let us know Blair too. I don't
01:15:50.800
know how much time you have. Uh, I could probably stick around for another 25 minutes tops. Uh, I put,
01:15:59.860
yeah, I put off some work, so I've got a jet soon, but I've got a bit more time. Okay. I've got,
01:16:05.120
sorry, I've got two things that I wanted to cover just before, um, we open it up. So one like story
01:16:12.920
I'd like to share is, um, you know, part of my working with the Diagon boys was, um, I was kind of
01:16:21.060
working in conservative circles prior to becoming a nationalist and, um, I met Tommy Robinson.
01:16:29.480
So just, just so, um, just sorry to interrupt, but just so the audience understands what is Diagon
01:16:34.020
long? Uh, this is, oh man, um, loaded question. Well, it's just, it's just like, it's not necessarily
01:16:43.800
the most easy thing to explain. And I think the majority of the audience probably know, I'll try to
01:16:49.040
do it like in, in under two minutes. So basically Diagon is a meme country that was formed around a
01:16:56.140
very, uh, well-liked podcaster within Canada, uh, Jeremy McKenzie, who also goes by the name
01:17:02.880
Raging Dissident. Uh, the concept of Diagon was formed during the COVID period, whenever a bunch of
01:17:11.400
Canadian provinces and American, uh, you know, states were opposed to the mandates or were not
01:17:17.700
enforcing them. And it, if you put them on a map, it formed this kind of diagonal line that ran from
01:17:24.180
Alaska to Florida. And so the, the joke obviously was like, Hey, look, all, all these, you know,
01:17:30.180
states and provinces are the sane ones, you know, let's just form our own, uh, you know, mega country
01:17:36.180
that cuts the continent of North America in half, you know, diagonally, and we'll call it diagonal on.
01:17:41.480
And so this became just like a running inside joke that eventually, um, you know, gained a lot of
01:17:48.120
popularity to the point where people were identifying as, you know, DAGs or Diagalonian.
01:17:54.380
And it's kind of like Kekistan, right? And the same kind of vibe. Um, and this got pushed into
01:18:00.340
prominence whenever, during the Canadian trucker convoy, the Canadian government tried to make it
01:18:05.720
out like Diagalon was some kind of real and imminent threat to national security. So basically
01:18:12.140
they painted Diagalon as being this terroristic, you know, white nationalist militia group, um,
01:18:18.380
that was hell bent on overthrowing the Canadian government by, you know, means of, of the trucker
01:18:23.420
convoy. And obviously none of this was true. It was all contrived by, um, the government and our
01:18:30.120
version of the ADL or, you know, the, our version of the ADC for you in Australia, the Canadian anti-hate
01:18:36.700
network. And so they spun up this narrative that there was this, um, you know, violent insurrectionist
01:18:42.700
kind of entity that was attached to the convoy. And then they used it to justify invoking the
01:18:48.320
emergency measures act, which is martial law. Um, and then this all came out, you know, after the fact,
01:18:54.320
after, um, they had done what they did to shut down the convoy protests, um, eventually this,
01:19:01.380
this became widely known and, and they still try to use Diagalon as some kind of boogeyman.
01:19:06.220
Um, but it's not an organization. It's not, um, a militia. It's certainly not a terrorist organization.
01:19:11.940
It's just a bunch of people who are fans of a podcaster and, uh, you know, a wider collective
01:19:17.620
of streamers and content creators that, you know, roughly align, uh, politically, um, you know,
01:19:24.080
on most things. So it's, it, it's basically just a meme is what it is.
01:19:31.460
Right. Well, thanks for explaining. And I hope everyone can, uh, grasp that.
01:19:35.620
Sorry. I assumed, I assumed everybody knew, um, cause I see all these slashies in the audience.
01:19:41.440
So, but I think we have a lot of Australians that came in too. So they probably,
01:19:44.900
they're like, what the heck is a Diagalon? So thanks for clearing that. So ultimately a long story
01:19:52.040
short, I met Tommy Robinson and, uh, we were talking and, um, like he definitely came onto
01:19:59.580
my radar in 2009. And I was pretty sure that you would come onto my radar at a similar time,
01:20:05.240
you know? And I was like, look at these guys, um, patriots from their birth countries,
01:20:11.540
standing up for their people, fighting radical Islam. Um, but Tommy's life took a very different
01:20:19.800
turn. And I asked him about you and what he thought about Blair Cottrell. And, um, and he said,
01:20:28.780
well, yeah, he's like a pretty big Chad and, uh, you know, with his British accent, he said it more
01:20:33.700
like that. And, um, you know, his life, I mean, that weekend, ultimately we lost him on a cocaine binge
01:20:42.780
and he was just drinking and we had to like pull him out of a brothel. It was a total disaster in
01:20:50.640
Montreal when he came to visit. And, uh, I thought it was interesting that you both, um, were kind of
01:20:58.720
confronting radical Islam, but you both took very different strategies in, in how you would deal with
01:21:06.680
it. And I got the sense from Tommy that you might be one of the only people in the white Western world
01:21:15.920
that could actually have a conversation with them that could actually have an impact. And I just wanted
01:21:23.640
to get your thoughts about that because it looks like he went left and you went right. And, um, and
01:21:30.340
you know, he's currently in prison, right. For, can I just, um, just to clarify, so Tommy Robinson
01:21:37.440
visited Montreal and went on a cocaine binge and ended up in a brothel. That's correct.
01:21:45.700
And like, I was goodness me, we were, we were a team that we were supposed to take him on tour,
01:21:51.620
but ultimately, um, this Jewish media organization called rebel news. You may be familiar with rebel
01:21:58.660
news. They came in and they offered him like $80,000. And so Tommy's not going to say no to
01:22:04.920
$80,000. And, uh, yeah. And then it turned into, um, a total circus where Tommy suddenly got arrested
01:22:14.140
outside of his venue. And then that got all sorts of immediate attention. And then they started
01:22:20.640
fundraising. Right. And then I said, Oh, wow. That's how you make your $80,000. Cause they were like,
01:22:27.300
save tommy.com and donate now. He needs the best lawyers in Canada. And it was just all fraud. So
01:22:35.920
it was a big rebel moment for me rebel rebel news offered to pay him $80,000, but then they raised
01:22:43.240
that $80,000 from the public. They didn't actually come up with the money themselves. So he probably
01:22:48.320
could have just done that. I was so offended. And Jeremy McKenzie said to me, he's like, Beth,
01:22:53.400
then if we're going to act, we're going to act now. And I'm like, okay, we're going to do this.
01:22:58.040
So that's how that happened. But your name did come up and I can't believe serendipitously,
01:23:03.860
I'm in the situation where I'm talking to you. And maybe my question is, if you had a chance to
01:23:09.700
speak to Tommy Robinson face to face, what would you say to him?
01:23:13.560
I've never spoken to Tommy before. I've heard from many people that he's, he's got opinions
01:23:23.660
about me and most of them used to be positive opinions, but I can't verify that this is just
01:23:28.660
what people are saying, but it keeps coming up. So obviously there's probably some truth
01:23:32.700
to it. What would I say to Tommy? I'd have to think about that. I, I have to come up with
01:23:41.000
the most effective way to persuade the guy to, uh, to jump on board with ethno-nationalism,
01:23:46.320
you know? So, uh, probably, yeah, but probably look, there's not, you can't make packs with
01:23:54.440
certain people. There's no making packs with the kind of people behind rebel news and that kind of
01:23:58.640
stuff. You can only do what they say in exchange for, you know, a meager wage or a bit of money.
01:24:05.140
That's just going to burn out anyway. But I don't know. It's, it's curious because the sort of guys
01:24:09.620
that take cocaine and end up in brothels, I don't know that that's not something I understand.
01:24:16.000
And I'm, everyone's got their vices, right? No one's perfect. I'm not, uh, critically judging
01:24:22.120
the guy too harshly, but that's not a vice or vices that I have personally. I don't, I don't do
01:24:29.180
that. I don't really understand guys who do that. So this is obviously a different guy. He operates
01:24:33.220
on a different wavelength to me. Um, I don't know. Like we come from the same background,
01:24:41.440
don't we? Because we Aussies came from England, but there's, there's some very strong differences
01:24:47.080
between Australians and English. And I discovered that for myself when I traveled to England,
01:24:50.680
uh, to visit Mark Collett and see a bit of the countryside. I attended a patriotic alternative
01:24:56.900
conference where I was actually secretly recorded without my knowledge by a British broadcasting
01:25:01.500
corporation journalist actually. And there's a bit of a story surrounding that at the moment.
01:25:05.920
Apparently I said some pretty, uh, some pretty extreme things in private conversation, which
01:25:10.760
isn't much of an expose really like, you know, Blair Cottrell, famous Australian racist says
01:25:15.700
racist things in private conversations. It'd be more of an, it'd be, it'd be more of an expose
01:25:21.080
if I like said something about secretly liking black women or something like that, it'd be a
01:25:24.900
real expose, but you know, obviously that's not the case. But yeah, the differences between
01:25:30.600
Australians and Englishmen, I'm talking about white Australians and Englishmen, the only real types
01:25:36.020
of Australians and Englishmen, they're, they're quite like in your face. Like I noticed the Englishmen
01:25:40.820
were, um, just like smaller and skinnier generally, even skinnier in their faces. The Australians were
01:25:47.180
just larger for some reason. And I couldn't really understand why that was. And Joel and I have
01:25:53.280
theorized as to why that could be to some extent. And, you know, Tommy's obviously of the smaller
01:25:59.560
variety of blokes, like most of the English guys that are on it. It's not every English
01:26:03.820
guy. Don't get me wrong. Like there was actually one bloke over there who was bigger than me,
01:26:06.980
but that was like, you know, an anomaly. Most of the Englishmen are just notably smaller
01:26:11.700
frame, smaller, perhaps slightly smaller of character. Maybe that's what's good. I don't
01:26:16.260
know. I don't want to throw too much dirt on the guy. I've never spoken to him. What
01:26:19.060
would I say to him? I'd have to think about it. I'd have to think about it. It'd have
01:26:22.800
something to do with reflecting on the results of his choices up till now and, you know, whether
01:26:29.760
it's been worth it and what the best way forward would be, would it be to continue to mix with
01:26:36.240
the certain people that he has been mixing with, or would it be to sort of stick to his
01:26:40.340
own and be a bit more loyal to the in-group, you know?
01:26:43.620
Is he going to take the money? Cause he's seen more money than most of us have seen all
01:26:48.540
our lives, right? He's come out of this, a very wealthy man and he's currently in prison
01:26:53.700
with Elon cheerleading for him. So he's, his bank account is filling up and up and up again,
01:26:59.980
right? With almost, I feel gullible granny's donations. So that's difficult, um, for, to
01:27:07.080
be a witness to. Um, but yeah, so I, I suppose, I don't know if there is anything one can say
01:27:16.280
to somebody who is blinded and manipulated by money. Um, but I, I did know that he liked
01:27:23.800
I don't know. It might, it might, it might be a bit presumptuous though, you know, like
01:27:27.440
I, we don't know for sure if he's completely blinded and manipulated by money. There's probably
01:27:31.800
a lot more going on behind the scenes than we can understand. So it's probably something
01:27:36.820
we should move past because we're talking about a person, we're talking about an individual,
01:27:41.080
obviously an influential individual, but, um, yeah, it's, it's probably, it's probably best
01:27:45.100
to just move on from it. I don't know what to say regards to the guy. I've never met
01:27:49.860
No fair. It was just that your name came up when I was in his presence. I wanted to
01:27:54.360
take this opportunity, but we can absolutely move on. We do have a lineup of people that
01:28:00.180
would like to ask questions. So perhaps we should bring up some speakers posty.
01:28:04.780
Yeah, I'm fine with that. As long as I don't know, Ferry, did you have anything you wanted
01:28:10.840
No, I'm good. You should let people get questions in for sure before Blair has to go.
01:28:18.080
In that light, then, uh, we make them fairly quick and to the point, the questions when
01:28:24.560
Yeah. Can we try to keep it under a few minutes? Cause we want to try to get as many people
01:28:27.900
as possible and give Blair a chance to respond to. So.
01:28:37.060
All right. All right. We're going with Ferry's idea. Let's go.
01:28:50.040
Yeah. I can see only Frank is requesting, I think at the moment on my screen.
01:28:56.260
Yeah. We had a few people drop out, but, um, go ahead, Frank.
01:29:15.100
Is Frank connected or is it, is it me that's having trouble?
01:29:19.600
I can't hear him either. Can you guys hear him?
01:29:23.740
No, I don't see him either. Um, there's someone else I see here. Oh, wait, nevermind.
01:29:30.320
Uh, I've just given, uh, this, okay. This rat juice has got a mic now.
01:29:46.440
Yeah. I'm just wondering, like, what do you guys think about like these sand niggers?
01:29:52.080
Like, are you guys just like anti-Jew or like, like these sand niggers are like destroying our people.
01:30:00.120
So, you know, they, they, they're, they're doing exactly the same shit as, uh, the juice are doing, you know, like they're doing it physically, but they're doing, they're doing it.
01:30:09.500
And like, why, why are so many people like so cool with that?
01:30:13.580
Like, oh, we just want to like, uh, propel sign and all this faggotry.
01:30:18.020
Like, I just wonder what, what's that all about?
01:30:23.160
Yeah. Okay. You can answer that if you want, Blair. And then drop.
01:30:28.440
Well, that's what I mean. I don't, I don't know what, uh, you're like, I think that maybe you've had a bit too much to drink if, if I'm not incorrect there, but.
01:30:37.180
Just, just, yeah, that was not a serious question.
01:30:40.420
Obviously it's completely unrelated to anything that we've talked about.
01:30:44.140
And obviously he doesn't know anything about Blair or myself or anybody else in the panel, because if you did, you would know that Blair is pretty against Muslims, pretty, has a pretty big issue with, he's kind of known for that.
01:30:57.880
It's kind of like the thing that he came to prominence on was like keeping Sharia and Islam out of Australia.
01:31:06.240
I'm sorry. I'll, I'll be rude for Blair in this situation.
01:31:09.500
All right. We got Frank. Let's try it again, Frank.
01:31:15.840
Yeah, thanks. That must've been an archive. Look, post, post the end base.
01:31:20.320
I did not see that this was a closed mic. So my apologies for actually even raising my hand up the first time.
01:31:27.540
But now that I'm here, uh, Blair, do you, um, do you do any, um, serious writing?
01:31:34.380
Apparently you've been on a hiatus. Uh, is that correct? I mean, you haven't been doing any activism.
01:31:40.140
I was so censored that it was really difficult to do any real activism, but, uh, I do quite a bit of writing.
01:31:50.820
I write up diet plans and I do online coaching. That's my personal business. Sometimes I write down
01:31:57.020
my thoughts as well, but I don't often get a lot of time to do that with my working schedule right now.
01:32:02.040
So most of my writing, uh, is all in relation to formulating diet and training plans for my clients,
01:32:10.020
which I'm very passionate about. I enjoy doing that. Uh, one of the reasons I chose to do that
01:32:15.200
or to make that my business is because I like to see people develop and I like to give people
01:32:20.100
what they need in order to get them moving, get them started, because often people have what they need.
01:32:25.860
They have the motivation already inside them. They just need to get the ball rolling.
01:32:30.540
They just need that little push and to see people turn their lives around, to see their health
01:32:35.160
improve, to see them get stronger and more proud of themselves. It's meaningful work to me. So that's
01:32:40.080
where the majority of my writing happens. I would recommend Blair has been putting out some
01:32:48.160
short videos. Um, and I mean, it's not the same as writing, but I feel like it's, they're kind of
01:32:54.580
like little mini video essays. They're very well done. They're very well scripted.
01:32:59.380
Just good presentation. So if like, I don't know if you're writing out your thoughts before you're
01:33:05.120
doing these, but it seems like you are anyways. Yeah. Well, there's a bit that goes into making
01:33:11.080
those little clips. What I have a bit of a structure. I write a script of roughly what
01:33:16.180
I want to say just to get it in my mind, what I'm actually going to say. I don't really read from
01:33:20.540
it when I'm, uh, dictating on the camera, but it gets in my mind, gets me understanding the
01:33:25.980
structure of what I'm going to say. Then I dictate it on the camera and then the editing begins.
01:33:30.960
And it's a bit of a long process. It can take anywhere between six to eight hours to produce
01:33:34.840
a video five minutes long if I want to make it high quality. So I don't get a lot of chance.
01:33:40.540
I'd like to do that more often, but with my business, I don't always get the time or the
01:33:45.080
days off to do that. But whenever I do have a day off and whenever there's a good reason to do
01:33:49.280
something like that, I had this policy back, uh, when I was heading up UPF in Australia,
01:33:54.940
United Patriots front, the policy was to always make your content purposeful or link it in with
01:34:01.080
some physical events. So I don't just post videos for the sake of posting, uh, posting videos,
01:34:06.100
make the video, make the content, uh, make the purpose for the content to get people to a certain
01:34:13.480
event, to increase attendance or interest in a certain physical thing, an event, something
01:34:19.120
that you could measure. And so now that there is an event for me to promote, I'm trying to find the
01:34:24.460
time to put more work into promoting it. And that's the Australia Day event next weekend,
01:34:29.400
Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on January 26th. I'll be attending and I'll be involved in the general
01:34:35.540
organization to some degree. And I'm really excited about it because this will be the first public
01:34:40.280
event I've endorsed since 2019. So six years ago, I endorsed a rally, a public rally in St. Kilda about
01:34:46.920
the African crime wave. I was heavily censored for doing that. I was, it was the last platform I had
01:34:53.120
left was I think Instagram and a fake or a sock account on Facebook at the time. Both of those
01:35:00.040
got nuked about two hours after I posted the video endorsing that rally. And still we got about six or
01:35:05.920
700 people in attendance. Uh, but then, you know, the, the legal hammer came down and then COVID happened
01:35:12.040
shortly after that and everything was really locked up. And, uh, this will be the first event, as I said,
01:35:17.620
that I've endorsed and I'll be attending myself. I'm really excited about it. We'll see what kind of numbers
01:35:22.160
we can get and we'll see if we can make some waves.
01:35:31.940
Yeah, just real quick. Have you thought about replicating, uh, your skill set, your professional skill
01:35:37.040
set and maybe offering that to a coterie of individuals who either you personally or collectively
01:35:44.680
people see as potential, uh, leadership positions? I'm just curious.
01:35:52.820
Um, I haven't really considered that because I didn't really learn my skills. If, if you can regard
01:35:58.720
them as skills, um, I kind of just, everything I've done has happened rather organically. So
01:36:07.360
a lot of the time I don't even necessarily understand what I'm doing. I'm just doing what I feel is right
01:36:11.680
in the moment when it comes to the videos and the speeches and stuff. But I could think about doing
01:36:16.480
something like that in the future, for sure. Leave behind a bit of a bit of a legacy, I suppose.
01:36:21.360
Awesome. Do we want to move to, do you guys know who was next?
01:36:23.840
I was just going to say, I think the, sorry, I think the Australia Day event is awesome and I think
01:36:31.520
it will be big. I think there's a huge amount of support behind you guys, for want of a better
01:36:38.880
way of saying it. I think there might be even more support in Australia than you realize. I think it's
01:36:43.600
huge. Um, and yeah, let's go. Yeah. I really hope the results reflect that because I feel
01:36:52.320
a great deal of angst, dissatisfaction in the community. I can sense it. I can see it on
01:36:57.520
people's faces. I can see it in the way they hold themselves. And for the first time in a while,
01:37:04.160
people will have the opportunity to actually get together and do something about it,
01:37:08.080
to be a part of something, to be a part of a change, a fundamental change to kind of create
01:37:13.360
a new future for Australians. And so, like I said, I hope to see it in the results next weekend.
01:37:18.000
Absolutely. I think we have Deutschland Dan. That's who I see up next. And if you want to
01:37:25.600
put up your hands, guys, just so we can keep track of y'all. Thanks.
01:37:30.640
Keep it to 30 seconds, please. Okay. I'll make it quick. Blair, you mentioned that you'd rather
01:37:35.680
be an advisor than a leader, but if you had to, you would take on that leadership role if no one
01:37:40.080
else is filling it. How do you feel about having reluctant leaders? So those that lead because they
01:37:51.360
They seem to make, in some cases, they make good leaders because then they're less motivated by
01:38:01.360
anything egotistical and they're leading out of duty or compulsion, like regarding duty.
01:38:08.560
But I'm not really sure. Look, we have good leaders in the Australian nationalist scene.
01:38:15.120
And I don't really consider myself, I consider myself as among them, but not really any,
01:38:21.280
one of the foremost leaders at this point. I mean, Joel Davis is like our foremost intellectual and
01:38:26.560
almost like a prophet. And Thomas Sewell is doing amazing work with his community building and his
01:38:31.920
activism. And so I just consolidate my forces and abilities with the work that these guys are doing.
01:38:40.800
And I see myself as a valuable asset for that reason. I don't really enjoy being in the spotlight
01:38:47.360
so much. It's not something that I get anything from. It kind of just, I cringe at myself. I mean,
01:38:52.480
I watch my own content back and I cringe at myself. I don't really like it, but you know,
01:38:56.640
it seems to have a good effect generally speaking and people seem to appreciate it. So that's the
01:39:02.720
reason I'm doing what I do now out of a sense of duty, put it that way. Like I don't even want to
01:39:06.720
do this. So like if I was to step up and really take on leadership position and be front and center,
01:39:12.880
like I was back in the day, like I've been there and I've done that. And I demonstrated that I can do
01:39:18.160
that, but I'm not a person with a long-term plan. I'm not a person that thinks far enough ahead.
01:39:24.800
I'm more of a trailblazer. I get things rolling. I get things started. And then I'm a good advisor
01:39:30.000
along the way. You know, it's funny. Cause I, I, I, I, I'm very similar in my way of thinking
01:39:39.440
about this. I don't particularly want to be doing this. I started doing this because I felt compelled
01:39:45.840
to do it. Uh, not, I, I enjoy my privacy. I want to win so I can just stop doing this. And it's funny
01:39:53.520
because I'm going to be a huge hypocrite here and say, like, I can see the necessity of Blair
01:39:59.280
Cottrell being involved in the political establishment in Australia with, you know,
01:40:04.160
a kind of triumvirate of Joel, Joel Davis doing the intellectual, Tom Sewell doing the community
01:40:10.400
building and Blair Cottrell being the public face interacting, you know, with, with the politics.
01:40:15.520
I think that's, that's awesome optics, uh, you know, massive bodybuilder, Blair Cottrell flexing
01:40:21.600
on the, uh, the HR ladies and the effeminate skinny dork males. I think that's something that,
01:40:28.400
that would be awesome to see in Australian politics, but I definitely empathize with it because I get
01:40:34.400
told that I should be involved in politics and I have no desire to do it at all. So I'm being a bit
01:40:39.440
of a hypocrite myself whenever I say that you should.
01:40:45.520
I was actually going to mention that. Yeah, I know. I heard you say that. I'm glad, I'm glad
01:40:50.640
someone can relate to me. Yeah. And I was going to say, I was going to mention that because I heard
01:40:54.000
Ferry say that the other day that he was kind of the same thing. So, uh, it was funny that you
01:40:58.160
mentioned that and I was thinking the same thing. I do. I still enjoy the fight, right? You do enjoy
01:41:03.360
the, um, the conflict. You do enjoy the controversy a little bit because it keeps you on your toes. It keeps
01:41:08.480
you sharp. It's kind of like training. Like when you're doing boxing training or weight training,
01:41:12.740
you're keeping yourself strong and sharp and being involved in the politics and the discourse
01:41:17.380
keeps you mentally sharp, keeps you up to scratch, up to date with what's happening.
01:41:20.980
And so it's a form of exercise in a way. And so I stay involved to stay exercised,
01:41:26.020
but, uh, only up and only up to where is necessary. I think is, is what I would prefer to be doing.
01:41:32.020
Awesome. Do you want to go to the next hand then? Do you guys know who was next?
01:41:39.380
I see Polly. I see Polly. There's a Polly. There's a Percy and somebody else. If you guys could put up
01:41:45.700
your hands, if you know how to do that. I see Polly's hand up. So let's go, Polly. Yeah.
01:41:53.700
Hey, can you guys hear me? Yep. Hey Blair, how are you? I've been following you for a couple of years. I
01:41:59.700
found you through the Agalon. Uh, I'm in Toronto, Canada. I'm a Polish immigrant came here,
01:42:04.500
came to Canada when I was eight years old. Um, quick question for you. Uh, I've just been
01:42:09.620
kind of listening to you guys for years now and it's ferryman as well. And, uh, just curious,
01:42:14.820
like, how do you guys see it? Like, how do you guys see this all turning around? Like,
01:42:20.260
are we going to need another kind of Hitler episode or like, what, what is the reality of actually,
01:42:26.420
you know, deporting these people out of our countries? Like, cause I, I don't actually
01:42:30.740
think that these, that's going to happen, like with the governments, the way they are and
01:42:34.580
the Jews in power, like how, how are we going to get to that point? Uh, you know, like what,
01:42:39.460
what is your prediction on, on also timelines for this and, and like, how, how can we turn this
01:42:44.980
fucking shit around? A critical mass, a lot of people, millions of people willingly, openly,
01:42:55.460
and proudly in support of Australian nationalism, their ethnic identity, having that sort of
01:43:02.500
consciously present in their mind as a priority in their lives and having the option, having someone
01:43:08.420
to actually vote for someone to take office and represent them officially. Right. That obviously
01:43:15.220
is the way forward. That's what we have to work on doing. We've been working on doing that since
01:43:19.380
the beginning, but we've been up against all sorts of state intervention and censorship, which is now
01:43:23.940
starting to recede. It's not so bad. And that's why I said at the beginning of this space, exciting
01:43:29.060
times, because we're back in the game. All right. Thank you. Awesome.
01:43:34.820
I would. Yeah. I think Blair summarized that well, but the, the answer that I like to give to people
01:43:41.700
whenever they ask a question like that is three words, it's organized white men. That is, that is
01:43:47.780
the answer to every time somebody asks a question of how do we do this or how do we stop X or, you know,
01:43:54.740
what are we going to do about, you know, this it's all, the answer is always organized white men.
01:44:00.820
Um, that's what it really boils down to. If we don't have that, then we can't do anything. And
01:44:06.020
until we get, as Blair said, a critical mass of organized white men, then it's just going to keep
01:44:10.500
happening. So a lot of times the way this question is asked is, or the, you know, I like to phrase it
01:44:16.820
like this, which is you have a lot of people that are standing around looking at a broken engine and
01:44:21.460
they can like, you know, there's all, there's all kinds of things wrong with it. And they're speculating
01:44:26.020
about how are we going to, you know, fix this, or how are we going to fix that? And it doesn't
01:44:30.980
matter because you don't have the right tools to fix the engine until you have the right tools
01:44:35.380
arguing about, you know, how you're going to fix it or what needs to be fixed. It's kind of like
01:44:39.700
pointless, isn't it? Again, like, and the, you know, the easiest way, anybody who has any kind of
01:44:44.580
like mechanical training knows, you know, what do you absolutely need every single time you need a 10
01:44:49.780
millimeter socket? We don't have a 10, we don't even have a 10 millimeter socket right now. Or if we
01:44:54.580
do, it's, you know, it's the only thing we have right now. So there's some, you know, rumblings of
01:45:01.540
this beginning in, in every Western nation, but it's still so in such an infancy state that until it's
01:45:09.940
more developed, like there's no real, the answer is get involved and join other organized white men.
01:45:16.500
Faith as well. You have to have faith. Don't be disheartened by, uh, what seems like failure in
01:45:26.100
the moment or not enough success fast enough. No matter what kind of setback we experience,
01:45:31.860
momentary defeats, you have to have an unshakable faith. You have to continue believing no matter what,
01:45:37.860
you know, victory in the end. That faith provides a certain sort of hope, which energizes you,
01:45:43.780
keeps you positive, keeps you ready to fight again and again and again, no matter how many times you
01:45:47.860
get knocked down. That kind of faith, that hope gives you a sense of self-respect in a strength
01:45:53.940
that other people can't help respect. You know what I mean? So it's, it's a contagious thing,
01:45:58.660
the faith, the hope, keep the faith always. Okay. I think we're going to go to the last two hands and
01:46:05.780
then we'll let Blair go. Uh, I see Percy. And then who was it? Soundstar? I don't know if your hand is
01:46:11.300
still up. I can't see, but yeah, that's correct. Go Percy. Yeah. G'day all. It's been a really, uh,
01:46:17.380
good, uh, good, uh, uh, podcast and, and listening to X. I've never actually spoken on, on this platform
01:46:24.180
before. Me and Blair come from Victoria. I'm, I'm a Victoria myself. And what was said before about,
01:46:30.420
you know, about decentralization and, um, and, and some of these, it's like I'm from regional
01:46:35.460
Victoria. And you can see that the real strength, for example, in the Second World War, we had lots
01:46:42.340
of different football teams around the place. And those football teams made the bulk of the
01:46:46.100
Australian Imperial forces and all our, all, all the breeding ground of all our men warriors
01:46:52.180
came from regional areas. With the way things have been, country towns, and Blair will tear this as
01:46:59.060
well. Country towns of Victoria have been beaten down. And that comradery of, of the many in those
01:47:05.300
areas have been absolutely obliterated. And now, you know, it's been in Australia, at least anyway,
01:47:12.580
there's been a promotion, this decentralization where you've got, you know, for example, the Indians,
01:47:17.300
and, and, and even now with TV commercials, you've actually got, you know, the, the promoting of
01:47:22.820
Indians bringing in our communities. I don't hate Indians by any means, but that whole thing is,
01:47:28.580
I'd rather be with us, the Australian that I knew growing up as a, as a kid. And that's been
01:47:35.300
ripped away from us. And, um, I've never seen so much palpable anger, especially in my area,
01:47:41.540
when new people come into our area, we're all in the beautiful part of Victoria, and they absolutely,
01:47:47.780
they, they shit all over the place. They, they drop their rubbish, they throw their lister up in the air.
01:47:53.540
And it's not so much shit they don't know. It's more that they hate us. Um, so they're just,
01:47:59.380
just, yeah, there's a certain, there's a, yeah, there's a certain observable arrogance within the
01:48:05.940
people that come into these regional areas, right? Where, as you correctly explained, they,
01:48:10.660
it's like they're doing it deliberately because there's a resentment there. There's a disdain for the
01:48:16.660
locals. It might be an inferiority complex. It may stem from that. They may subconsciously feel
01:48:23.060
inferior or guilty at the fact that they've come to our country because they feel like they have to
01:48:27.940
come to our country because they can't do anything practical or productive within their own country.
01:48:33.140
Right? So it's, um, don't worry. I know what you're talking about. Like I was woken up at two
01:48:38.020
o'clock in the morning, three nights ago, when I had work early the next morning, just by, uh,
01:48:42.580
Indians screaming in the street. I think a group of Indians were leaving the house of a family member
01:48:48.260
nearby and rather than leave, you know, quietly, modestly and politely because it's two o'clock in
01:48:56.020
the morning, they were laughing as loud as they could and carrying on and having a loud conversation
01:49:01.380
that lasted maybe 10 or 15 minutes in the front, uh, in the front yard and their children. They also had
01:49:08.180
their children with them, which would have only been, cause I looked out my window. I was,
01:49:10.980
I was considering going out there and asking them to be quiet, but I thought I'd rather just like
01:49:16.100
wait for them to go because I don't know how I'd react if one of them was rude to me. I thought it
01:49:20.980
would be best that I just stay out of that or keep myself away from that situation. But the children
01:49:24.740
were like, like eight and nine years old. And I'm thinking it's a, it's a school night. Like what are
01:49:28.980
eight, nine year old children doing up running around the street barefoot at two o'clock in the morning?
01:49:34.580
There are very strange people. We don't have a lot in common with them at all.
01:49:38.500
The noise pollution, the arrogance, the lack of regard for the environment,
01:49:43.620
for just basic social standards. There's, there's none of that going on with these people. And
01:49:49.940
that's what has the native Australians us. That's what has us, um, so frustrated a lot of the time.
01:49:56.580
It's not that we have any sort of particular bias against these people. Probably we're within our
01:50:01.140
rights to have biases, but it's not, it's got, it's not what the left and the government suggested is.
01:50:06.100
It's not just some sort of blind racism because they're a different color to us. That's ridiculous.
01:50:10.900
There's a long list of logical reasons why we're frustrated with the presence of these people in
01:50:15.940
our country. It's a completely natural thing to not want people like that living around your family.
01:50:21.700
It's a completely natural thing. And it's important to remember that.
01:50:25.140
I think that was a really good point as well about loving who we are and what we created
01:50:32.020
is a, is a huge driving force for us that we, we do need to focus on as well, as much as we can.
01:50:37.940
I think that was a really good point from, was it Percy? Okay. Yes. Sorry.
01:50:41.780
Yeah. Yeah. No, it was. Soundstar, do you still want to speak because you're next? I don't see your
01:50:47.060
hand anymore. And then we got Steve Hansen and then we're going to end it. Okay. So if you have something,
01:50:51.700
30 seconds, please sound star. Okay. Hi Blair. Um, I was just going to say with, um, getting back to
01:50:59.540
the politics thing, um, in reality, you know, in Australia, we've got a two party system and it's,
01:51:06.020
it's, you know, it's basically impossible, not impossible, but you know, close to, to get, um,
01:51:12.340
elected certainly to federal as either an independent or a member of a minor party. Um, so I was just
01:51:20.260
wondering why, um, I suppose nationalists in this country are putting aside the Jewish donors and
01:51:29.540
all that sort of stuff. Um, why nationalists would not want to say, join the liberal party,
01:51:38.100
because that's, you know, the centre right party. Um, and cause you need a structured party system
01:51:44.900
behind you to get elected and politics is about winning. Why there is a, um, hesitation for that,
01:51:51.620
because the rank and file members of the liberal party are a hell of a lot more right wing than I
01:51:56.660
think, um, that I've heard Joel and Tom, et cetera, think that they are. So I was just interested in
01:52:03.700
your opinion on that. I think a lot of the time, the boys are just so disdainful of official politics
01:52:11.700
and the two party system that they don't want anything to do with it. I do understand your
01:52:15.620
question though. And it could be a practical way of applying some sort of pressures of the
01:52:19.460
liberal party to get some sort of positive result for us. Uh, I think you'll find though,
01:52:24.660
the possibility of a third option coming forward in the near future. It's very real because
01:52:31.140
traditionally, as you know, Australians either vote liberal or labor. It's, it's like
01:52:35.460
national tradition. And usually you vote where you, how your parents used to vote or something like
01:52:40.180
that. It doesn't really seem like there's any point putting your vote anywhere else,
01:52:43.380
but because we're entering into territory that's completely unprecedented for Australians, for our
01:52:49.860
people, circumstances, uh, a standard of living that's going to be horrendous and living circumstances,
01:52:57.700
which really aren't going to be ideal. It's all going to be unprecedented territory. And what that
01:53:01.700
means is there's going to be a place for a radical new third option. Personally, I think that's what the
01:53:07.380
boys are holding out for. And I think that's what they have in mind. Well, I know for a fact,
01:53:10.740
that's what they have in mind. Uh, so, uh, it'll be more of that kind of like, uh, what the boys are
01:53:17.380
focused on is more of that revolutionary third choice rather than, uh, infiltration or pressure
01:53:23.540
on existing parties. But I can see your point and I, I don't personally know why I know some effort has
01:53:29.620
been made to do that in the past, but it's been met with a vicious resistance from inside the
01:53:33.780
liberal party on a couple of occasions. Okay. All right. Do you think that they'll be able to
01:53:39.220
get their park party registered? So I just know, I mean, look, I'm a liberal. I've been involved in
01:53:44.100
the liberal party for 20 years on the admin committee and stuff like that. Um, registering
01:53:50.020
a party is extremely difficult. And if the VC or AC doesn't want to register you, they won't. So do you
01:53:56.420
think that's a realistic option for, for the boys to register it? Um, if you do, if you put forward
01:54:04.100
the Senate, if you put forward the Senate candidate first, and if you've got like 4 million people
01:54:10.020
that are ready to vote for you, uh, if the AC at that point refuses to acknowledge your legitimacy as
01:54:15.940
a political option, then you just set yourself up as a new, but you build your own parliament.
01:54:21.380
You know what I mean? You build your own country, like fuck the AC, fuck a traditional process.
01:54:26.980
If you've got enough people, you've got enough support, you can do whatever you want. And so
01:54:30.100
building that support is at the center of what we're doing. Cool. Awesome. Thanks.
01:54:35.220
Awesome. All right. Last but not least, Steve, we're ending with you.
01:54:41.140
Okay. Well, got to give a shout out to big filth and the listeners based Aussie. Um,
01:54:46.340
Blair, you mentioned that people operate more on instinct or emotion than they do on, you know,
01:54:52.260
logic and reason, uh, which is something that GLR and uncle also wrote about. So what is both to you
01:55:00.740
and Ferryman, what is your go-to appeal to emotion when trying to speak to, you know,
01:55:06.340
the average person about why they need to be a nationalist?
01:55:10.020
Um, I keep things simple for a start. I try not to say too much.
01:55:18.900
And, uh, that can be frustrating for a lot of people who are producing content or trying to persuade
01:55:24.340
because if you're of the class of person who is thinking a little bit more than the average person,
01:55:30.260
then you're always going to want to say more than is necessary. So you have to condense your message
01:55:35.140
down and it's always clever to use analogies. And my persuasion techniques always differ depending
01:55:42.020
on the person I'm talking to and the situation I'm in. So it's a difficult question to answer.
01:55:46.660
It's not like I have this go-to strategy that I always use every time I talk to someone.
01:55:51.780
That's not how good influence works. Good influence is always kind of, um,
01:55:56.340
structured around circumstance and adapt, it adapts to circumstance.
01:56:00.420
But one general rule is I keep things simple and I keep repeating basically the same message in
01:56:06.100
different ways, ways that I determine will be most palpable to the person I'm dealing with,
01:56:12.340
depending on their stats, where they come from and what I'm getting from them. You need to be somewhat
01:56:18.420
feminine yourself in order to be good at persuasion, persuasion and influence, because you need to be
01:56:23.060
able to intuitively understand the kind of people that you're trying to persuade. You need to be able to
01:56:27.460
feel what they're feeling, relate to them. You need to have empathy. You need to be able to put
01:56:31.300
yourself in their position and think, okay, if I was this person, what kind of message would I be
01:56:35.700
receptive to? If I was that kind of person, what would I want to hear? What would I, what would be
01:56:40.100
the best way of persuading me? You know what I mean? So, um, it's, uh, that's the best way I can
01:56:46.100
answer your question, I suppose. I'm sorry if I can't give you like a, a strategy or like a written
01:56:51.700
strategy of how to actually influence people. It's, it's not really that simple. I can get
01:56:55.700
into this in more detail, um, uh, in a space of my own, I suppose, which I'll try to do more
01:57:02.580
regularly. And I have to be, I'll have to say, I'm a little bit sorry for not being so engaging
01:57:08.260
in this space. So if I haven't been so thoughtful, I literally slept all morning because it was the
01:57:13.220
first chance I got all week to sleep in. And I set an alarm half an hour before this space started
01:57:18.500
to make sure I woke up for it. Uh, so I hope I've been an excellent Indians in your front yard in
01:57:25.940
the middle of the night. It's totally fine. Well, and you kept three ladies speechless.
01:57:30.420
So I think you were doing pretty good. That's very good. Yes. Sorry. Did fairy want to reply to Steve?
01:57:37.780
I think he was going to, he's kind of had the question for you too. And then I mean, yeah,
01:57:41.540
Blair summarized that very well. Cause I would, I would agree with the majority of what he said.
01:57:47.300
The only thing I would add is that I don't waste a lot of time trying to convince people who
01:57:55.220
like, it's very difficult to push somebody over the edge when they're nowhere near it.
01:57:59.460
You know, for, for lack of a better way of saying it, um, you have to wait, uh, at least
01:58:05.780
to a certain extent for these people to come to you. And I found that the best way is to just,
01:58:11.620
I can think of one example in particular, but when somebody is espousing something that
01:58:17.540
is, you know, bordering on, on nationalistic kind of sentiment, which isn't hard, you know,
01:58:22.260
it's a very natural thing for people to feel. So they, they do engage in these kinds of sentiments
01:58:26.180
regularly. The best way to do it is to just validate how they feel about the situation and
01:58:33.140
then kind of nudge them, nudge them towards where they should go. And so like, I can think of one good
01:58:38.180
example of this where there's a large Canadian, uh, you know, freedom type Twitter account and
01:58:44.820
they were complaining about how, you know, they go into stores in Canada and, um, you know,
01:58:51.780
nobody speaks English and they can't even find a worker that's Canadian. And, you know, they were
01:58:57.140
doing the thing where, look, it's not, I don't have anything against these people personally, but like,
01:59:02.100
I just, and I just like, I can't remember how she worded it exactly, but all I said to her was,
01:59:06.900
look, you have a right to feel that way. Like you shouldn't feel like you need to accommodate,
01:59:11.060
you know, foreigners in your own country. You don't have to justify why you don't like this.
01:59:16.100
It's okay that you just don't like it. And it, that, that hit her. Like she reached out to me.
01:59:21.380
It's like, thank you for saying that. Because like, I, like, I realized that I am trying to
01:59:25.860
accommodate people that I don't even want here. And that I am justified in feeling this. So like,
01:59:30.820
just, just being there and like, just kind of reassuring these people when they have these kind
01:59:35.300
of natural responses to what's going on around them and then nudging them a little bit and be like,
01:59:40.740
yeah, do you see why this is a problem? Like that, that is kind of the best ways.
01:59:45.140
You can't force somebody to adopt your views. All you can do is, is show, you know, open the door
01:59:50.420
and hope they walk through it. So, um, this is why, like, I don't know. I, I just think you have to
01:59:57.700
find a way to meet people where they're already at and then guide them in the right direction,
02:00:01.940
I guess would be the way of saying it. Yeah. You want to say, I wrote about this. I just remember,
02:00:06.660
thanks for saying that because it reminded me that I wrote about this subjects a couple of weeks ago,
02:00:12.100
I wrote about how it's more effective to, um, demonstrate through suggestion and, uh, and
02:00:18.820
validation rather than arguing with people. And, uh, it reminds me of a war tactic and even the art
02:00:27.220
of war by Sun Tzu. Like when you're taking a foreign nation or city, you want to take it intact,
02:00:32.580
right? You don't want to destroy it because then what's the effort for, you don't want to be the king of
02:00:38.260
a ruin. And it's very much the same when you're trying to influence people, you want to take their
02:00:43.460
mind intact. You want them to still be a proud person who believes that they've come up with what
02:00:49.780
they're thinking as a result of their own intelligence, because then they're not going
02:00:53.460
to be so easily swayed or taken over by somebody else's thoughts as well. If you batter down the
02:00:58.260
person's defenses and you break their willpower and you get them to agree with you, it's kind of like
02:01:04.180
taking over a city that you've destroyed. It's, it's worthless because it's, it's not going to hold
02:01:08.820
up against anybody else or, or provide you with any sort of value in the future, right? So you want
02:01:13.620
to take the person's mind intact. And the best way to do that is not by battering down their defenses
02:01:20.020
in an argument and making them feel stupid. So you can feel smart. That's not how you influence
02:01:25.140
people. You do it through, you influence people through demonstration suggestion. And as you said,
02:01:30.820
just then you validate them, you validate them, you appeal to their sense of self-importance.
02:01:36.100
And the reason this is important to understand is because, uh, where a person's beliefs and ideas
02:01:41.140
tend to reside, it's not in cold reasoning, but it's within ego and human can see it's within their
02:01:47.540
own sense of their self-importance. It's within emotion and what they feel about themselves to be
02:01:53.060
true, what they would like to be true. So that's where people's ideas reside. That's why you can't
02:01:58.260
actually sway people with logic or facts. Like even when you present facts to some people,
02:02:03.220
they'll still reject those facts because it's not validating how they already feel about the
02:02:07.860
situation. So, um, yeah, important things to understand. Humans aren't logical creatures
02:02:13.940
most of the time, especially not ordinary people. You always have to adjust yourself to that reality.
02:02:18.580
That's an awesome way to end the space. That was some great advice. Does anybody,
02:02:23.060
do you have anything else, Joey, you want to, I wanted to say thanks so much,
02:02:26.100
Blair, for actually agreeing to do the space. We were really excited when you agreed to do it.
02:02:30.340
So I appreciate that a lot. I'm sure we all do. Um, Joey and base, did you want to say some last words?
02:02:37.620
I would just say thank you to Blair and Ferry. It was a great conversation. And I think
02:02:42.100
the way that postium based set this up to run in a streamlined manner is great because the more air
02:02:49.540
time we get from the main people that we need to learn from and listen to the better. So thank you
02:02:55.460
very much for that. Thank you everyone. Yeah. And I guess one last thing, um, Blair,
02:03:02.260
perhaps you could tell people like, as that you're a trainer, um, and I, I don't want to make you go on
02:03:08.980
again, but you know, something Ferry has said in the past is that you have to embody nationalism.
02:03:14.980
And it is like a physical expression, not only, um, like an ideology. And so where can people like,
02:03:23.140
if, you know, and there's a lot of people online who are feeling pretty shitty about how they are
02:03:28.020
coming across physically, where can they access your training, your like access you and, you know,
02:03:35.140
you know, buy your services, if you will, you know, buy a t-shirt, that kind of thing.
02:03:44.100
I don't sell t-shirts, but the first thing you can do for yourself, if you're struggling with
02:03:48.100
your health and making better choices is start hating yourself. Start, uh, not liking yourself
02:03:56.900
for the situation you're currently in. Stop making excuses and just look at yourself in the mirror
02:04:02.500
and start not liking it. You've really got to not like the situation you're in instead of excusing
02:04:08.820
it. Instead of coming up with excuses, you've got to look at yourself and be like, I need to change.
02:04:13.860
I need to do something about this. And you stand there in front of that mirror and look at yourself
02:04:18.820
for an hour. If you have to be disgusted in it, if you have to, whatever you need to develop that
02:04:24.660
motivation to want to change, to need to change, right? You've got to not like yourself for the way you
02:04:30.020
are if that's the position that you're in, right? And that will give you the motivation
02:04:36.020
that you need to change. And it's already in you. As I said in the space earlier, I think I mentioned
02:04:41.540
that most people already have the fire in them. Most people have the drive. It's just their own
02:04:45.780
self-doubt and excuses holding them, uh, holding them back. And through my online coaching, that's what
02:04:51.300
I try to teach and provide to people is just that motivation to get them moving. 24 hour check-ins,
02:04:58.100
help with diet, help with training programs, uh, regular catch-ups and zoom calls, just to keep
02:05:02.900
an eye on people and help them get across the line, help them achieve what they're trying to achieve.
02:05:07.620
It's meaningful work to me. And, uh, it's going to be something that I'm going to, it's currently not
02:05:12.180
that easy because I'm not so accessible. I'm busy still training clients physically, but I'm trying
02:05:17.620
to transition more into online coaching because it just seems better suited to my, um, my particular
02:05:23.460
skills. So, uh, I'm currently working with a couple of people who are experienced in this field to make
02:05:31.220
myself, uh, more accessible and make my survey, my services easy to access. So in the future, you'll be
02:05:37.700
able to find, um, you'll be able to find my services more easily just by following me on X or telegram.
02:05:44.900
And I'll be posting a little bit more about this kind of stuff in the future because as I said,
02:05:49.940
I'm passionate about it. And a lot of people need that, that motivation. They need that drive.
02:05:55.540
They've got the fire in them. They just have to want to change. And once they want it, it's just
02:06:01.620
easy to guide them. So yeah, that's the best way I can answer that. But Hey, thanks for the space guys.
02:06:06.180
Thanks for having me on again. I hope I've been, I hope I've been articulate. I just, um, it's one of
02:06:11.860
those days where I've just like, it's like sometimes when I know I have to do some sort of space or
02:06:17.140
recording or radio, like podcasts, it's like, I just can't switch on. It's better if I just like
02:06:22.020
do it on a whim because then I'm not like, uh, I don't know. I'm not like, uh, I don't have this
02:06:26.660
like pre-record anxiety, but today I just feel like it's so true. It's like I can get on a live
02:06:33.300
stream with myself or just the other guys and immediately just jump into it. And every time
02:06:38.260
it's with this, with somebody else and it's pre-planned, it, it, it takes like half an hour to an
02:06:43.620
hour just to sink into the conversation and acclimatize to it. It's weird how that is, isn't
02:06:48.980
it? Yeah, it is. If you hit, it's better to hit the ground running. Like I think from now on,
02:06:54.340
maybe I'll just like, I mean, the, the spaces I've hosted myself, I've just been like, you know what,
02:06:59.780
I'm going to do a space. And then like one minute later I set it up and it's live and they're always
02:07:03.620
the best ones. The ones that I'm like preparing for days prior and it's in the back of my head, oh,
02:07:08.580
I'm doing this space. I'm doing this space. There's this lingering anxiety and then it's,
02:07:12.420
it's harder to relax and just get into the swing of it. It's, it's weird how that works.
02:07:17.460
But, uh, yeah, but thanks anyway, guys, I've done the best I can to be interesting.
02:07:22.180
Come on, man. Yeah. Sorry. We put pressure on you, but we, uh, we're grateful for your time
02:07:28.900
and, and giving us the opportunity to ask you some poignant questions. So we're grateful for that.
02:07:35.220
And thanks ferryman. You're a champion of this nation. We're grateful for you. Thank you,
02:07:40.820
Posty. Thank you, Joey. Thank you, Frank. Thank you, everyone who showed up in the listeners.
02:07:47.380
Thanks everybody. Awesome. Thanks again, Blair.
02:07:50.100
All right. It's recorded if you guys want to catch it later. See ya.
