00:03:47.600Still hearing them in the background there.
00:03:54.680You see the Liverpool fans are cheering their major wins.
00:04:00.260Sadly, there was another attack, a major incident, as the Merseyside police spoke about, which sort of gave a bitter flavor to yesterday's celebrations.
00:04:15.440We have Merseyside police making the first announcement, saying we're currently dealing with reports of an RTC in Liverpool City Centre.
00:04:25.220We were contacted at just after 6 p.m. today, Monday, the 26th of May, following reports a car had been in collision with a number of pedestrians on Water Street.
00:04:35.220The car is stopped at the scene and a male has been detained.
00:04:38.380So, we have several videos here showing what happened.
00:04:44.420It's best if you have kids, don't show them to them.
00:04:53.420We have literally a car running over people, hitting them and then continuing.
00:05:01.680It's not that it was a sort of accident and then he stopped, the driver stopped, the driver continued.
00:05:08.140And then we have all sorts of fans going there, hitting the car.
00:05:12.900We also have security personnel there rushing into the car to take the person out.
00:05:19.100So, a lot of people saw this and saw, well, obviously this was deliberate then, because if you've got a medical emergency, you don't, you know, try and steer into people and carry on driving.
00:05:33.020Just the body language of the car, you can sort of tell if you drive that that was intentional.
00:06:42.780I think that this is probably the most likely, in my opinion, because from some of the other videos I've seen where you see the car before it actually starts hitting people,
00:06:52.600it sort of gets stuck in the crowd and then people come around it and you see them trying to open the doors and hitting the windows.
00:07:00.580Yeah, and I think that that's enough to make someone panic.
00:07:04.160And particularly if they start breaking things and, you know, from the perspective of the person in the car, you're surrounded, you've got no escape and there are people all around you.
00:07:15.060There was an angle there where he seemed to be aiming for where the crowd is densest.
00:07:21.900So, the density of these kinds of crowds is not the same everywhere.
00:07:26.940He seemed to be aiming for more people to hit with the vehicle.
00:07:31.620That is true and there are two different ways to interpret that, I think.
00:07:35.120On the one hand, you could say maybe there was spite involved or maybe it was just they panicked and it was just, you know, misfortune that they went into the busiest thing.
00:07:47.000And we can only find that out once there's been a proper investigation into it, really.
00:08:16.300So, yeah, this is another angle of the event which wasn't seen from the first video.
00:08:24.760I also think it's interesting that, you know, I'm not sure if it's just the noise in the actual videos themselves, but you don't hear them like sounding their horn as if to say, hey, back off, leave me alone.
00:08:38.020It was when I saw that when I thought, okay, this...
00:08:41.180Initially, I'd assumed it was a attack, similar to some of the attacks that we've seen here, similar to the ones that we've seen in Europe.
00:08:48.820Eventually, I saw one of the videos where he seemed to be honking.
00:08:52.100And I think this is when it became clear that it wasn't an attack.
00:08:55.100Yes, because if it was an attack, you wouldn't warn people of your presence, would you?
00:09:00.320And, of course, people at the minute, and it's a very unfortunate thing, really, they see this and they've been primed from all of the cases in Germany to just presume.
00:09:09.020And I've seen lots of people who I otherwise normally respect jumping to conclusions about things, which I think is, you know, I'm going to take this moment and returning to Lotus Eaters to scold people.
00:09:22.140Yeah, you're not only potentially blaming people for things that they might not have done, but also you're just making people look bad.
00:09:33.880You're making the right to look bad by saying, I know who it was, I don't need, you know, police confirmation, because the world's more complicated than that.
00:09:41.740Sometimes there are things that are outside of a neat categorization, ideologically.
00:09:47.420And we have here an example of an account that rushed to say that this is an attack by an Islamist extremist, and turns out it most probably is not.
00:09:57.500So there were all sorts of people who tried to capitalize upon this situation in order to gain clout for their social media.
00:10:05.180It's so much capitalization, because I'm sort of guilty of it myself.
00:10:08.860I assumed initially that it was an attack, and I tweeted that it was an attack.
00:10:12.520It's not, the intent isn't to capitalize.
00:10:15.200It's just that so much of this has happened so many times, and it has been attacks when it did happen.
00:10:23.720The expectation generally is, you see this, you see that it's clearly deliberate, you see the video of him sort of plowing into more people rather than less, and then you assume, well, okay, this looks like a very deliberate attack.
00:10:40.500If you had to bet between, it turned out that he was, what, some drunk guy?
00:10:46.600According to the main narrative, seems to be that this...
00:10:51.400So the narrative right now is that he was a drunk who panicked.
00:10:54.840If you had to bet attack or panic drunkard, the odds would definitely be in favor of a conscious attack.
00:11:05.600Almost certainly, and many people rush to think this, and they have done so in other cases.
00:11:10.340The point is that, in some cases, maybe as commentators, it's good to wait before we do this, because it doesn't have to be the case that you have to bet at the moment.
00:11:21.120Maybe some patience is required, or at least framing things in ways that are a bit less, that are a bit more responsible.
00:11:55.340And there is, as a result of that, a sense of anger, and justified anger, because the state isn't doing what's required to make the public believe that the exclusive use of force is being used to protect them.
00:12:19.240But rather, the use of force by the state is often directed at their reaction.
00:12:25.800So I saw a lot of tweets calling for responsibility, and yes, respect to that, and my apologies for not having been responsible about it.
00:12:33.960But I also saw a lot of tweets saying, guys, be careful what you post, because you know that the police will be knocking on your door if you say such and such.
00:12:42.580So the atmosphere, this is new for a liberal democracy, that be careful what you say, because the police will be showing up at your door.
00:12:51.980Okay. I'd much rather the police concern themselves with the incidents that came before this, and unfortunately, the near certain incidents that will come after this, rather than what I or some other idiot say on X or Twitter or whatever it is.
00:13:58.100The issue is that there is a pattern as far as the mainstream media is concerned when it comes to hits like these.
00:14:05.100And the human mind forms conjectures, and whether people speak about it or not, they do think so.
00:14:11.660So when you have 90% of cases of a particular kind being attributed to people of a particular background, this is what people instantly are going to think.
00:14:21.180And in some cases, it may not be the case, but the media is crying wolf.
00:14:25.680That's the issue, because they are constantly saying the same things, isolated incident, not related to terrorism, always mental illness, lives, cars, whatever.
00:14:37.320They also dehumanize the perpetrator by speaking about the car as if it's sentient.
00:14:42.120And I'll just show you an incident where I covered with Beau the Vancouver car ramming incident about a month ago, which wasn't an Islamist.
00:14:52.360And, you know, the issue is that the media is crying wolf so many times, and people cannot help but think what they think.
00:15:09.140There are no reports that anyone has died.
00:15:11.280But there have been people who are injured.
00:15:13.940There were 47 people who were injured.
00:15:16.96020 were injured in a minor, you know, had suffered minor injuries.
00:15:21.18027 were transported to hospital by ambulance.
00:15:25.340And we just have a child and an adult who are suffering from severe injuries.
00:15:31.380And if you replay the video I showed you before, there is a scene where someone is completely hit by the car and thrashed over.
00:15:41.040I really hope this person doesn't have trouble walking in the rest of his life or her life.
00:15:46.940It was a silly thing that need not happen.
00:15:50.740And if I'm to apportion any responsibility, it's obviously with the person driving the car, they shouldn't have put themselves in that situation in the first place.
00:15:59.580You don't drive a car into a crowd of people, even if you're going very slowly and respectfully, because it's not going to be received well.
00:16:05.680And particularly drunk football fans, quite frankly, you should have known better than to be in that situation in the first place, let alone react in the way that they did.
00:16:15.160I mean, I think, honestly, I think both sides, in a way, have a share of responsibility.
00:16:29.700Yeah, the people who went up to the car who hadn't done anything yet and started hitting it, they also have some degree of moral culpability.
00:16:37.700It's not in the same league as the person who was driving the car.
00:16:40.240Crowds are, generally speaking, not particularly known for responsibility.
00:16:45.460So this is something that drivers should know.
00:16:46.900Here we have another announcement by Merseyside Police saying we would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight's incident on Water Street in Liverpool City Centre.
00:16:58.420We can confirm the man arrested is a 53-year-old white British man from the Liverpool area.
00:17:06.760There are several narratives about what is going on and why the police did what they did.
00:17:13.280I'm going to give you the charitable one.
00:17:15.020The charitable one says that the police doesn't want to instantly release data about the identity because they want to triple check the identity of the suspect.
00:17:26.280Because what they want to prevent is releasing statements and then retracting them.
00:17:33.760And in a way, you could say that this is also what people in the commenting industry should ideally want.
00:17:43.580Right. That's the charitable interpretation.
00:17:48.000There are a couple of quick things to say about this.
00:17:49.640The first of which is I'm quite surprised that a car could get to that point in the crowd in the first place.
00:17:55.040I know that there were, you know, there's a double-decker bus being escorted by police going through the centre and things like that.
00:18:01.300But why should pedestrians be able to get in that position in the first place?
00:18:04.720It's a sort of sorry thing to say because it was never a problem before, but we also have to deal with the reality as it is rather than how we wish it to be.
00:18:15.100And I would have liked to have seen perhaps a bit more protection for a crowd.
00:18:21.200Even though, you know, it is frustrating to have to say that because it's a thing that shouldn't happen in the first place.
00:18:28.960I understand this point and I respect this, but it seems to me that on the one hand, for designing the event, there had to be room for cars.
00:18:37.520First of all, because they had the team celebrating, but also you have tens of thousands of people.
00:18:42.080Maybe someone needs to be transported to the hospital.
00:19:04.300Yeah, and I think part of the reason is that they were detained on the scene so they could be pretty sure, you know, they were pulled out of the car.
00:19:10.820So they're going to know it's the person that did it.
00:19:13.840But this should be the standard going forwards.
00:19:16.840If they want people to stop speculating, well, release the information then.
00:19:20.920Because it seems like when a thing is of national interest, you should have to release this sort of information as a sort of public service.
00:19:30.100Because it is our right to know, I think.
00:19:32.140I was going to say that they've put themselves in a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation after Southport.
00:19:43.200Because after Southport, the story was he was Welsh and, you know, he was a choir boy, etc., etc.
00:19:50.200Now, some of the details about his life would have required more investigation, including his interest in violence in general and in genocide and in Islam and in all of these kinds of issues.
00:20:02.960So, fair enough, they didn't have to release that.
00:20:06.060They could not have released that information that quickly.
00:20:09.740Although, given that they would have raided his home within a few hours of the incident, they would have probably known within three days to a week.
00:20:18.040But then they kept on gaslighting the public and saying that he's just Welsh and that there's no other identity involved.
00:20:23.840And now they've put themselves in a position where they've set a precedent, where they release the racial identity and the nationality within an hour of the incident.
00:20:36.940Now, it may not always be possible to ascertain nationality within an hour, fair enough.
00:20:43.380But ethnic identity, you know, it's a visible marker for most people.
00:20:48.260I'm of the opinion that following on from Southport, it should be a statutory obligation to report the ethnicity of a perpetrator because the elephant in the room at the minute is ethnic tension in British politics.
00:36:41.060Not only do I think that antidepressants are overprescribed, but there's a very different perception between the psychological world, which obviously I come from, and the lay person on the street.
00:36:51.260And, you know, a normal person on the street thinks that if I'm depressed, I take antidepressants and it helps me get better, like a regular medicine.
00:36:58.700Like you have a rash, you put some cream on it and it gets better.
00:37:01.660But it doesn't work like that, really.
00:37:03.520The medical world views antidepressants as this is something to give you a leg up, if you will, and give you a, basically, in a more vulgar way of putting it, give you a kick up the backside to sort your life out yourself if you're on the cusp of perhaps doing something that is permanent to your life.
00:37:25.840That's a YouTube-friendly way of saying it.
00:37:27.440So they view it as a last resort, but actually, in the psychological world, we recognize that lifestyle choices are very important.
00:37:35.820And, you know, sleep, eating well, exercise, all of these things are going to be underlined as, sort this out, you know, feeling like you've got a direction in your life, having agency.
00:37:48.040These are the sorts of things that cure depression.
00:38:21.500Obviously, neurochemistry has an effect because it's your brain's way of communicating with itself.
00:38:27.340And, you know, anyone that's ever taken drugs in their life can account for the fact that if your serotonin is artificially increased, you feel better.
00:51:03.940Ryan Hinnigan says, fish in the Great Lakes, I think Lake Michigan, have diminished survival instincts due to people peeing when they swim.
00:52:09.200If you actually have a sort of unhealthy perception of threat around you, if you're really anxious, this sounds paradoxical because coffee can increase anxiety.
00:52:21.100But if you're anxious or fret in particular, it might actually be beneficial to drink coffee.
00:53:02.300So in this segment, we're going to be talking about the Equalities Act in action or the Equality Act actually in action and some of its implications and how it's been working and affecting us in real life.
00:53:14.280Now, the purpose of the Equality Act essentially, according to the government, is to prohibit direct and indirect indiscrimination.
00:53:25.780And if you're wondering what indirect discrimination means, in practice, it means that where the outcomes differ by different protected groups, that is indirect indiscrimination.
00:53:40.540And the case law has been changing on this in a way that's been quite dangerous, I think, pushing towards the imposition of absolute equality, regardless of merit, qualifications, or anything as mundane as passing exams or doing harder work.
00:54:02.560So let's sort of go into this a little bit.
00:54:06.980The Act applies to pretty much every aspect of life in Britain.
00:54:11.760So it includes clubs and associations.
00:54:17.340The government is given, the whole civil service is given a statutory responsibility to make sure that inequality in all forms is completely eliminated.
00:54:31.380And the standard against which this is measured is how are white British people performing.
00:54:39.280So if there's a, you know, if you say, for example, that Britain is not structurally racist because different kinds of Asian groups outperform white British, that's not considered acceptable.
00:54:54.500For example, the metric, and you can see that from some of the consultations that the government is undergoing, the metric is how are white British people performing.
00:55:04.400So this effectively acts, if I could borrow a term from 2015 feminism, as a glass ceiling for white people in our, you know, native British people in our own country, effectively.
00:55:15.540If you were to put hydraulics on the ceiling and get it to press everybody downwards, then yes, that would be correct.
00:56:32.960So the way that this works is really highly selective and is not informed really by an objective and comprehensive look at the evidence.
00:56:43.140It's informed fundamentally by we've picked on a group, we want to raise everybody else's level to them or lower them to everybody else's level.
00:56:55.600Well, it's similar to sort of, I hate to bring it up because it's beating a dead horse, but it's very similar to how communism operates, isn't it?
00:57:02.880In that rather than raising everyone's standard of living to, you know, the standards of capitalism, it lowered them all so they were equally impoverished.
00:58:43.300Because you could say, I have lesbian friends and they're fine with me, but the state doesn't want them to be fine with me.
00:58:51.680The state is very concerned about lesbians hating Stelios.
00:58:54.660Yeah, they say, well, probably it's more to do with the lesbians.
00:58:58.200So, there's a duty for public authorities, all of them, to have due regard for eliminating discrimination, harassment, ensuring equality, etc.
00:59:44.180The safety of children, healthcare, equality is equal to those statutory duties.
01:00:21.040This sort of legislation, I've come to realise over the years, has it completely on its head.
01:00:27.360And I've come to the opinion, that this might be controversial, I don't know, that if a nation doesn't discriminate in favour of its dominant or native population,
01:00:36.720then it will slowly become eroded over time and then cease to be a nation.
01:00:40.800You've seen this throughout all of human history, as far as I'm concerned.
01:00:44.160And although the sort of fair play, liberal in me, that still exists, sort of feels like that's a sort of dirty thing to do,
01:00:55.260at the same time, if it's for the survival of my peoples, then it's a necessary evil.
01:02:05.060It's not a, you know, a test of merit, a test of what did you do right, what did you do wrong.
01:02:12.780No, no, it's a complete ideological test.
01:02:15.500And it's also turning what used to be our values on their head as well.
01:02:19.060Because in the 19th century, we had the right idea of, if you feel like you've been hard done by, and things are unequal, and you see people getting ahead, well, you know, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do something about it.
01:02:35.560Now, the minister in charge of race and ethnic relations and questions of race and ethnicity is this lady here, Seema Malhotra.
01:02:46.320And during Brexit, her huge concern was to write to Theresa May and complain that Britain's delegation to negotiate Brexit had only 11% women, whereas the EU's delegation had 50% women.
01:03:04.640This was her take on Brexit, that the British delegation was bad because it didn't have enough women in it.
01:03:14.460I think basically all this woke stuff comes with the tyranny of the minority, because we have all sorts of politicians or politician-adjacent people who are trying to make a calculation about the electorate.
01:03:28.840And they say, well, I will appeal to this, to group X, Y, or Z.
01:03:38.740And in terms of favoring your own people over strangers, this particular minister, who's also the migration minister, had said that she would never report an illegal migrant, and that she wouldn't do anything about illegal migration.
01:03:54.480She's given the portfolio of migration, by the way, so you can...
01:03:59.060If it were up to me, I would take away her citizenship, kick her out of Parliament, and deport her for that.
01:04:05.140That's, as far as I'm concerned, treasonous.
01:04:08.620Also, it suggests that somehow being deported is the greatest crime of all, which it isn't.
01:04:13.780You've got to go back to where you grew up.
01:04:15.500Yeah, there's a certain absurdity to the whole discourse about this stuff.
01:04:21.880And nothing is more absurd than having somebody who is a foreigner in charge of another country's international relations and migration policy.
01:04:33.160Now, I wanted to highlight a couple of cases that sort of emanate from this issue.
01:04:42.000We have here on this website a case where a woman takes her employer to court because after maternity leave, she wanted to be able to work from home.
01:05:00.000Her employer said, no, come on, you can't work from home.
01:05:04.900This was found to be a discrimination case, and she successfully sued, and she ended up receiving an award from the tribunal on the back of this.
01:05:16.780So, I've actually heard stuff from the sort of non-political professional world that when people are basically being made to leave a job,
01:05:26.920it's very common now to say that you're being racist to me.
01:05:30.260And normally, a company will just say, okay, we can't be bothered with the suit.
01:05:35.440We'll pay you some money to shut up, basically.
01:05:50.680People will see how the law works, and employers will calculate, often, that it's cheaper to pay now a small amount than to take the risk of going to court and pay a stupendous amount.
01:06:09.920Sorry, because the law and the judiciary are all wired to see discrimination everywhere.
01:06:17.340And I just wanted to follow up on that.
01:06:19.060But you had the previous case that I mentioned where a woman sued because she was told to come back and work from the office, and she said, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:27.640There was a policewoman who was pregnant.
01:06:30.640The police did what they're meant to do, which is to conduct some kind of risk assessment, and said, you can't be out pregnant on the street trying to tackle dangerous criminals.
01:06:41.340What we want you to do is to go to a desk-based job where you were in the crime management hub, whatever that is.
01:06:50.840I hope it's not them managing crime, but, you know, whatever that is.
01:06:54.140But it's essentially a desk job where she does research and supports police for the duration of her pregnancy.
01:07:01.120The courts then found that this is sex discrimination.
01:07:06.140It's the most reasonable thing in the world.
01:07:10.100If she had been told to continue with her duties and, God forbid, she had lost her baby, she would have had grounds to sue on sex discrimination.
01:07:19.740If she was protected and told to get off the street for your own safety, you're pregnant, if some random criminal tries to tackle you or you have to fight somebody during an arrest, you'll be put at risk.
01:09:43.660He then sues anyway and gets a thousand pounds for sex discrimination because the judge believed that he must have felt humiliated by saying that he identifies as a woman.
01:13:33.960For market forces to be a trump card in this way, as in for you to operate purely based on your fiduciary responsibility to shareholders,
01:13:43.100as a good capitalist, for market forces to be a trump card in this way would defeat the objective of the legislation, being the Equality Act 2010.
01:13:55.900Lower pay in particular sectors due to indirectly discriminatory practices could then be lawfully sustained in perpetuity,
01:14:03.560as in, we will never arrive to the utopia where everybody is equal in every way.
01:16:53.140So really rubbish aspiring middle managers are probably the first people in a big company to put pronouns in their bio when this whole thing kicks off,
01:17:03.140because they see that this is the way forward.
01:17:06.900And you therefore signal your absolute loyalty to the regime.
01:17:10.720And by doing that, you signal that you're not a threat, and that if HR asks you to do certain things with pay and to make sure that they're meeting their quotas,
01:17:20.820you will comply, because you don't have a conscience.
01:17:24.220So this essentially rewards really the worst people in the world.
01:17:28.440And even with all of this, the Guardian is complaining that only a third of recommendations to tackle endemic racism in the UK are implemented.
01:17:38.760Now again, I don't understand how racism is endemic when it is white British boys who are the least likely to go to university,
01:17:48.340and when it is really the most equal society I've ever been to as a Middle Easterner.
01:17:56.080I think it's also worth pointing out that if this society will run for white men,
01:18:01.200why would we be the most likely to contribute to the state and the least likely to take out of it?
01:18:19.700Anyway, so the Guardian wanted to celebrate the five-year anniversary of the Black Lives Matter protest and caused by the fentanyl death of George Floyd.
01:18:30.280They are saying that there have been 12 reports into racial inequalities since 1981.
01:18:39.780There have been 600 recommendations, and only 200 recommendations have been acted upon, fully acted upon.
01:18:47.980Meaning that the other 400 could be partially or not, or they could just be so fanciful that even Keir Starmer and Cameron and others couldn't act on them.
01:18:59.960It could also be contradictory as well.
01:19:03.880They're looking at all of this, and they're saying, actually, this isn't enough.
01:19:08.920We demand more, and we're beginning to see this more.
01:19:13.420Now, Royal Parks, which is responsible for the care of the Royal Parks in London,
01:19:22.200they're facing a lawsuit because toilet cleaners that are contracted through a private company are getting less money than cleaners who are fully employed by Royal Parks.
01:21:35.120But there is an extra thing to it because I'm of the opinion that a lot of problems we are facing nowadays are basically concealed communist problems.
01:21:45.220A lot of right-wingers are saying the otherwise and are saying, no, no, it's not just communists.
01:21:51.020You're just typical anti-communist propaganda.
01:21:55.300What they're doing is they're pushing forward a radical egalitarianism and they are saying so long as this equality is being achieved, people aren't free.
01:22:18.620But of course, equality and egalitarianism is the enemy of exceptionalism.
01:22:23.480And if we want to be an exceptional country again, we've got to be unequal.
01:22:27.220And actually, inequality is desirable because it means that people are actually achieving something rather than living in complete squalor.
01:22:57.520It's maddening that someone from Central Africa, they can't see that them coming from there to Britain, they're not going to be immediately on the same pay scale as them.
01:24:33.700A government spokesperson said that they would continue to support employers in measuring pay gaps and identify examples of good practice.
01:24:40.560This is part of delivering our Inclusive Britain Action Plan to tackle unjust disparities in employment, education, health and criminal justice.
01:25:40.180And then a Ms. Bigham, who was responsible for this report, same last name as a nice lady called Shamima Bigham, said the ethnicity gap could not be closed without entrenched structural inequalities being tackled.
01:25:54.420And you see here that the government is proposing a bill.
01:26:04.240They want to add to the Equality Act with a race and disability element.
01:26:09.740I went through the time to actually address, look at the questionnaire and see what it's all about.
01:26:14.380It's all about whether or not they should make companies that have more than 250 people report a breakdown of their ethnicity and a breakdown of pay by ethnicity so that it becomes easier for them to sue.
01:26:31.860The idea is to impose the reporting requirement.
01:26:35.140It's all framed in comparison to white men.
01:26:38.180You can go through, it's really not hard to find, Equality, Race and Disability Bill.
01:26:45.500Please fill it in and add in a few insults if you want.
01:26:48.880And you see that this is all targeted in a very particular way, intended to make it easier to sue more companies to make sure that the janitor is getting paid almost as much as the CEO.
01:27:04.400If this isn't communism, I don't know what is.
01:28:27.040Because you would think that it would be very easy to have some kind of jamming technology that would just interfere with the signal.
01:28:33.420Frustrated with people talking on their phones on a train, a former colleague constructed a jammer at home.
01:28:38.960It was cheap, effective, and utterly illegal.
01:28:42.120Jammers only work for wireless links, and EMPs are relatively easy to harden against.
01:28:47.000Is there any jammer measure against fiber-optic drones?
01:28:49.720The key words there are fiber-optic. So-called tethered or wire-guided drones cannot be jammed wirelessly and use technology available since the Fritz bombs of the Second World War.
01:29:00.000That's very interesting as always, Alex.
01:29:03.560It's very annoying when people just shout on phones.
01:29:06.540You see, I've gone against my British programming, and I say stuff to people now, or very passive-aggressively complain about people being stupid in earshot.
01:29:14.880Like, I was going to London, and there was a lady playing loud music out of her phone, and I turned to my girlfriend and said,
01:29:20.200Do you know what I find really annoying when—I didn't say when women, that would be a bit targeted.
01:29:24.920When people play music out loud on their phone on public transport, don't you?
01:29:29.840And then she got up and moved away immediately.
01:29:42.060When coming into your house, make sure the electric fence is on, spikes are set, front door is chained, security motion light is activated,
01:29:49.800an interior padlock is set behind the metal doors, and then, coming into the house, you want to make sure that your baton and mace is by the front door.
01:30:00.620The front door is locked and closed, and also, the alarm is set.
01:30:09.040And all of Europe will be South Africa soon enough.
01:30:16.980I'm optimistic about the future of warfare. Wars were once decided by your food supply, but since the Great War, they've been decided primarily by who can sustain a war economy the longest.
01:30:24.720But since drones, it seems like the future of warfare is just bloodlessly throwing a bunch of expensive toys at each other until someone's economy falls over.
01:30:32.380What does concern me is the rapid development of androids, like the Boston Dynamics junk.
01:30:36.200Hitherto, the limiting factor in the oppression of your own people was stationing a guard on every street corner and demoralizing him to the point where he'll fire upon his own people.
01:30:43.840Robots will have no such compunctions.
01:30:45.580We can only hope that they'll be honest enough to make the eyes glow red when they finally flip the switch.
01:31:15.500Less than 10 years ago, I would have bet on it just being a drunk driver.
01:31:20.420It's sad that it is no longer the assumption I jumped to.
01:31:23.580Saw the headline of someone covering it last night and I did jump to an attack till I listened to a few minutes of the stream and it sounded like it's not clear.
01:31:31.020The thing is, I bet the people there started attacking the car because they assumed it was an attack.
01:31:36.080So it was probably made worse because of how many attacks there are and how the authorities downplay it, etc.
01:31:44.080The police and authorities have painted themselves into a corner where they must be racist.
01:31:49.280If the person involved is not white, they must cover it up to prevent outrage and demonstrations.
01:31:55.520If the person is white, then they must say it immediately to stop people assuming.
01:32:00.360Makes no difference, since we know what's going on.
01:32:02.860Henry Ashman says it's telling that even the BBC have commented on just how quickly the police released the ethnic background and nationality of the person.
