The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1400

00:00:00.320 Hi folks, welcome to the podcast The Loadseaters for Monday the 20th of April 2026.

00:00:05.000 I'm joined by Josh and Firas, the dream team as it were, and today we're going to be talking

00:00:10.040 about Keir Starmer's Libtard Game of Thrones, how we do actually do quite formalised child

00:00:15.740 trafficking in the West for some reason.

00:00:18.820 Legalised child trafficking is bad.

00:00:20.600 Yeah, we're weirdly against that.

00:00:22.720 And how many of the 20th century dystopias are actually pitched better than the current

00:00:27.680 environment we live in now.

00:00:29.680 So that's...

00:00:30.560 We knew it was going to be bad. We didn't think it was going to be that bad.

00:00:32.780 That's great.

00:00:34.320 Anyway, before we begin, Firas has a live RealPolitik on Lotasease.com at 3pm today.

00:00:40.800 Yep.

00:00:41.160 We're talking about the Teal Network and the...

00:00:45.160 Ilan War and how they might decide to benefit from the second order consequences of that,

00:00:52.760 given a recent statement made by Palantir recently.

00:00:55.660 Ah, right. Okay. Well, tune in for that.

00:00:57.560 anyway so we're going to begin by talking about what is happening which is a libtard

00:01:02.000 game of thrones and this is basically a summary of it

00:01:04.640 see i think that's hilarious no one else finds that funny but i think that's i think that's

00:01:13.580 brilliant i think i would have laughed more if you hadn't played it just before we came on

00:01:17.060 live i had to make sure it was working um but that's that's basically what's happening a kind

00:01:22.160 of bizarre uh sort of theater cover of game of thrones is currently happening in british politics

00:01:28.120 and all i have is that kazoo going around in my head when i when i read any of this stuff

00:01:33.900 uh so i get i guess we'll get into it so it's been a bad weekend of keir starmer uh everything

00:01:38.540 is in the slow process of falling apart because of his personal incompetence and the personal

00:01:43.800 incompetence of everyone around him and the fact that they're kind of all um like sort of varus

00:01:50.160 figures in the background as well the labor party is full of plotting and scheming and backstabbing

00:01:54.960 and eunuchs hold on various is intelligent i mean he's a eunuch but he's intelligent sure sure

00:02:00.420 they're unintelligent eunuchs sure that's why the kazoo rather than the actual theme game of thrones

00:02:05.360 right it's kind of like a plato's cave parody of it projected on the wall it's sort of machiavellian

00:02:12.600 if machiavelli was kicked in the head by a horse at a very young age yeah if machiavelli was actually

00:02:18.560 a moron. Yeah, that's

00:02:20.400 basically what's happening. At some point

00:02:22.540 today, so after this podcast has gone

00:02:24.560 out, there will be

00:02:26.660 an address from Keir Starmer to the House of Commons.

00:02:29.040 We've been told that he's going to be

00:02:30.480 very angry. He's going to be

00:02:32.600 angry. I'm very disappointed.

00:02:35.120 He's going to be angry with

00:02:36.600 the podcasters

00:02:38.420 and the posters. No, no, no, no. He's angry with

00:02:40.600 his own... No, no, the civil service,

00:02:42.620 his own government, everything around

00:02:44.480 him that he is purportedly

00:02:46.620 responsible for.

00:02:48.560 he's going to be angry at.

00:02:49.980 And it's like, okay,

00:02:50.580 why have they persistently failed you?

00:02:53.500 Anyway, so we'll talk just very quickly

00:02:55.520 about what's actually happened.

00:02:57.520 So Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting

00:03:00.920 seven months ago, as The Independent revealed.

00:03:04.160 And number 10 was aware of this seven months ago.

00:03:08.540 Let's just sort of recap.

00:03:10.300 Everybody knew that Mandelson

00:03:12.160 was deeply involved with Epstein.

00:03:14.460 The security services knew about this.

00:03:16.820 that meant that mandelson failed his security vetting and he that's not correct oh go on right

00:03:25.080 so uh the the problem actually isn't epstein weirdly enough uh it's actually the fact that

00:03:30.180 he's connected to a chinese linked military firm uh called wu zi aptek and they hit mandelson's

00:03:37.820 company uh lobby his lobbying firm global council yes which really tells you everything about

00:03:43.260 mandelson uh was paid 2.24 million uh and was one of their biggest clients by revenue

00:03:49.260 and senior government sources told the times that it was his ties to foreign entities such as this

00:03:54.640 uh that caused the uk security vetting agency which is kind of parliament's own internal vetting

00:03:59.720 procedures uh to recommend against his appointment of the role of the british ambassador to the us

00:04:04.640 rather than his links to epstein now just as a quick recap for anyone who doesn't know mandelson

00:04:09.680 is part of some international network the Epstein network uh and for some reason Keir Starmer had

00:04:17.060 said no no I want Mandelson and so he was essentially shunted up despite the fact that

00:04:22.880 he'd failed his vetting despite the fact Keir Starmer released number 10 down the street so

00:04:26.340 you'd think Keir Starmer knew about this and he was also uh placed in positions of supreme

00:04:32.340 importance in the Labour Party itself for example Mandelson was the person who was choosing the

00:04:36.620 candidates for the 2024 election with morgan mcsweeney organizing a spreadsheet that they

00:04:41.920 only they had access to so they could literally control and curate who was allowed to get to the

00:04:47.720 inner echelons of the party blackmail database i'm not calling it a blackmail database but

00:04:53.460 it kind of sounds a lot like a blackmail it came from a 1990s blackmail database that they had that

00:05:00.360 they kept up to date that was then given charge to morgan mcsweeney allegedly allegedly um this

00:05:06.380 is what was being reported yes but it seemed that the provenance of it was that and then they

00:05:11.920 keir starmer in his wisdom sought to make the u.s ambassador somebody who was getting paid by china

00:05:17.580 yes uh but i think i i suspect i obviously can't prove this but basically um keir starmer wanted

00:05:24.420 to improve his relations with donald trump he realized that there was an epstein network that

00:05:28.820 actually connected donald trump to peter mandelson and so rather than choosing george osborne who i'm

00:05:34.980 guessing wasn't a part of it because it came down to george osmond or mandelson uh and he chose

00:05:39.620 mandelson because i think mandelson was a part of the network uh for anyone who doesn't know the

00:05:43.400 the the main scandal with the link to jeffrey epstein comes in the wake of the release of

00:05:47.360 the epstein files where we found out that mandelson was just constantly emailing jeffrey

00:05:51.780 epstein uh for example market uh secrets uh state state secrets that were market sensitive

00:05:57.460 epstein uh mandelson would just forward on to epstein when he got hold of these things

00:06:03.300 and when mandelson was in government and mandelson's been in government what three times now

00:06:07.380 and kicked out three times he's a pretty big name in britain if you if you're not aware

00:06:12.100 if you if you don't follow british politics he's pretty much synonymous with the blair and gordon

00:06:17.460 brown years of new labor he's sort of the third man as he referred to himself in his biography

00:06:23.520 and he's obviously quite well renowned in in the political world but um i don't know how he is also

00:06:31.040 evil and has the nickname the prince of darkness and liked it and liked it yeah yeah so when you

00:06:37.040 bring in peter mandelson you know what you're bringing into your administration it's like a

00:06:42.500 vampire you've got to invite him in no no it very much is actually and so this is very much

00:06:48.900 a problem of keir starmer's own making now i have my personal suspicions that there's actually

00:06:54.120 something deeply sordid going on underneath what we're shown on the front because of course

00:06:58.920 we don't know that next week will be the ukrainian rent boy trial for the ukrainian rent boys i think

00:07:05.000 it's been five of them now arrested for attacking kia starmer's properties he's got multiple

00:07:09.420 properties and these ukrainian rent boys are attacking them for some reason and it's like

00:07:13.040 okay but how does this connect to everything and i suspect there's going to be some sort of

00:07:16.600 mandelsen zelinski epstein connection i don't know i guess we'll i'll see if i'm proven right

00:07:22.600 on that. But the point is, Mandelson has got weird hooks in Keir Starmer's government. And this has

00:07:30.060 been a problem because of the moral problem of him being friends, best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein,

00:07:36.140 but also being paid off by suspicious Chinese firms. And so this wasn't something that Starmer

00:07:44.640 has been able to actually just keep in the, in the, keep quiet and keep sort of on the back bench

00:07:52.140 or something back burner because it's just so obvious that this is a gross and corrupted regime

00:07:57.200 and so starman's like right okay i guess there are going to be some knives in the back by the

00:08:02.360 way mandelson was given top level security clearance right this is this is what the problem

00:08:08.760 this is what the suspicious thing about these networks is right as in these networks are deeply

00:08:14.440 built on personal relationships and probably compromise and therefore kia starman was like

00:08:20.360 oh no no I want him and so it looks like the institutions around him and the the mechanisms

00:08:25.580 around him just shunted him up saying well Keir Starmer wants it so well this is just what we do

00:08:29.720 this is normal to us right now that's really really weird isn't it and so when Keir Starmer

00:08:35.340 comes out and goes I'm very furious I'm absolutely furious that he failed a security vetting was

00:08:39.700 watching stupid I wasn't told that it failed security vetting when I was telling parliament

00:08:46.200 that due process had been followed is unforgivable.

00:08:50.900 Not only was I not told, no minister was told.

00:08:54.640 And I'm absolutely furious about that.

00:08:57.560 What I intend to do is to go to Parliament on Monday

00:08:59.960 to set out all the relevant facts in true transparency

00:09:04.060 so Parliament has the full picture.

00:09:07.180 OK, so you're either a moron or you're lying.

00:09:11.240 Is Keir Starmer's literal defence with this?

00:09:14.260 I mean, it's not like his reputation was particularly hidden.

00:09:18.500 If normal members of the public can know,

00:09:20.800 okay, this guy's a little bit sinister,

00:09:23.500 even 10, 15, 20 years ago,

00:09:26.940 then perhaps it should be something that the Prime Minister should know

00:09:30.980 when appointing him.

00:09:32.100 I mean, it was quite baffling at the time.

00:09:33.800 Everyone's like, Peter Mandelson to be the American ambassador.

00:09:36.320 Now, of course, it makes sense in the light of knowing

00:09:38.120 his connections with Epstein and Keir Starmer,

00:09:40.920 presumably trying to build a close relationship

00:09:42.300 with the trump administration or something like that um but it was quite baffling because of

00:09:46.620 course everyone knows the problems of mandelson and you're just i mean you're literally creating

00:09:53.980 a landmine to be stood on uh so anyway starmer is furious because he apparently was being

00:10:00.460 completely misled by the cabinet or the civil servants or something cabinet office the cabinet

00:10:06.740 office yeah someone was hiding this from him even though he had been the one who demanded

00:10:11.560 that mandelson get given this top in a very prestigious job and we're supposed to believe

00:10:19.200 that he just had no idea he never asked a single question no way credible no not at all he never

00:10:24.060 asked a single question i mean this doesn't come on for if this is true that the civil service

00:10:31.040 would hide something of that magnitude he'd be sacking people left and right up and down the

00:10:36.000 civil service oh yeah you think he'd be dragging them out to the streets and flogging them yes

00:10:40.000 personally exactly like this is just incredible like i mean to be given top level clearance as

00:10:45.340 well and all the civil servants just like so um we all know he failed this clearance right okay

00:10:50.680 well i'll just let him get on with that i'm sure it'll be fine like this is pretty impossible to

00:10:54.780 believe no way the civil service their main job is to cover themselves yes so obviously they

00:11:00.420 wouldn't do this yeah so obviously starma took full responsibility for this and is being one

00:11:05.060 held accountable i can't believe you believe what i just said there really no no he's not he uh he

00:11:10.960 instead fired uh sir ollie robbins the ex now ex-permanent secretary uh who has come out swinging

00:11:18.460 actually he's like well hang on a second i did everything you wanted me to do and i did it

00:11:22.620 according to the way that the procedures are let out set out and so he will argue on thursday that

00:11:29.260 according to the constitutional reform and governance act of 2010 civil servants are

00:11:33.240 responsible for vetting rather than the secretaries of state as in i did everything i was supposed to

00:11:37.720 do that's not my job it's some other civil servants who are responsible for this not me as the ex

00:11:44.800 permanent secretary that sounds believable to be honest and actually it's unsurprising that there's

00:11:49.140 going to be a full guy because starmer knows that he has to rely on that right well yeah absolutely

00:11:54.160 but again you know yet another example of starmer being like oh i can't believe everyone around me

00:11:58.700 is a corrupt idiot uh yeah ollie robbins wasn't this the guy who was responsible for the negotiations

00:12:03.940 over brexit you know i'm not sure it might have been um i look it up i actually don't know but um

00:12:10.140 but the point is ollie actually is making a fairly compelling case in his own defense as in that's

00:12:14.700 not what my office does that's what other people's offices do why am i the one being held accountable

00:12:20.140 for it correct for us 2017 to 2019 he was the brexit negotiator under theresa may and he was

00:12:26.620 responsible for making sure that the deal would be in the eu's favor so it's not like there's

00:12:33.000 anything you know no tears shed or anything but it's just interesting to watch the vipers going

00:12:38.220 at one another um so yeah um ollie will attend a hearing to defend his position uh sorry on

00:12:44.480 tuesday not thursday uh out of an old-fashioned sense of duty and respect for parliament so you

00:12:50.040 I remember his testimony during the Brexit debates.

00:12:56.440 He does not respect Parliament.

00:12:58.900 None of them do.

00:12:59.740 He was undermining the British Isles in favour of the EU.

00:13:04.580 So yeah, I don't believe that for a second.

00:13:06.620 But also, Peter Mandelson was in control of the Labour Party under Keir Starmer for, what, two or three years?

00:13:12.880 Sorry, you said, oh, well, I'm a very respectable man.

00:13:15.280 But, I mean, this weirdo has just come in, doesn't hold elective office.

00:13:19.240 he's lord mandelson and connected to all these but you know i'm just going to do things by the

00:13:23.060 book it's like no sorry that's things not being done by the book right that's that's the corrupt

00:13:27.240 network basically controlling your the the labor party um anyway so an ally of his says well he's

00:13:34.060 an incredibly old-fashioned civil service man ponds has invited him and evidently his diary is

00:13:37.820 clear uh there is no reason not to go out uh not to go in so out of respect for parliament he will

00:13:43.220 attend and explain there was no failure because he was complying with the laws yeah yeah i'm sure

00:13:46.440 i'm sure uh but anyway the point is he joins like you know noted luminos like morgan mcsweeney

00:13:51.100 uh who have been uh kicked out into the cold over this uh now mcsweeney resigned but as with all

00:13:57.960 resignations of this sort of level what's going to have happened is some uh angry meeting in 10

00:14:03.740 downing street where he's like no you have to resign you have to do this it's pretty much they

00:14:08.360 hand you a letter and say jump before you're pushed yeah yeah um and so morgan mcsweeney

00:14:15.020 deeply tied to epstein epstein's protege in fact uh is one of the project sorry matt yeah well i

00:14:21.240 mean did i stutter did i make a mistake there how was i wrong right uh yeah mandelson's protege

00:14:27.280 uh also kicked out because he's a part of this weird gross international network as well but

00:14:33.020 it's it's not just him it's like like kia slum has fired loads of people or forced him to resign

00:14:38.020 i mean like you've got rebecca long bailey back in 2020 over an anti-semitic conspiracy theory sam

00:14:42.860 tarry for picketing uh andrew gwin in 2025 for a string of offensive abusive whatsapp messages

00:14:49.240 you've got his entire purge of the labor left that he did in true stalin-esque fashion so

00:14:55.900 completely brutal and this is the sort of thing that mandelson would have been properly behind

00:15:00.060 but like this is why he had mandelson controlling the parties mandelson's like no i've got the

00:15:04.240 emails i've got control of the labor membership they're just gone we can just get rid of them i

00:15:09.480 I mean, Corbyn kicked out, Diane Abbott this close, John McDonnell this close, you know.

00:15:14.340 You might remember how he forced out Chris Wormtongue, sorry, Wormald,

00:15:19.180 the head of the civil service who stepped down by mutual consent because of the Mandelson scandal.

00:15:25.920 And it's like, look, no, the Mandelson network, the Epstein network,

00:15:30.340 who Mandelson is obviously Britain's representative of,

00:15:34.020 controls the Labour Party and the civil service,

00:15:36.600 which is why all of these head people are stepping down over it this is a gross thing

00:15:41.960 that has just been a part of our politics for a long time it's also interesting that starmer's

00:15:47.440 going after lots of civil servants because the civil service in many ways is just another branch

00:15:53.340 of the labor party in terms of ideology you know that they owe their living to government spending

00:16:00.180 and so parties that are pro-government spending as well as of course that overlaps in ideology

00:16:04.440 and so the fact that there is this conflict

00:16:06.660 when actually they're as

00:16:08.560 compatible as they possibly could be

00:16:10.520 says a lot. At least, analysts, I'll

00:16:12.640 tell you that this is a sign that the regime is

00:16:14.520 fraying and that power struggles

00:16:16.540 within the regime are escalating

00:16:18.240 and it's a big question

00:16:20.780 whether or not the army will step in

00:16:22.560 to restore order.

00:16:24.260 No, no, but that's precisely it, right?

00:16:26.760 This has aspects. That's exactly what's happening, right?

00:16:28.240 Exactly. It's a Middle Eastern power struggle

00:16:30.360 within the establishment. It looks like

00:16:32.280 some sort of Bathurst purge

00:16:33.720 in some Syrian government or something like that, right?

00:16:37.840 Because after Wormtong here stepped down,

00:16:41.200 this drew, quote,

00:16:42.580 ire from senior civil servants over the brutality of the move.

00:16:45.840 One person described the mood as sulfurous

00:16:47.920 over the prime minister's apparent willingness

00:16:49.440 to let senior officials go.

00:16:51.680 And that's the thing.

00:16:52.620 Starmer is actually very good at protecting his own position

00:16:55.140 in the Labour Party.

00:16:56.120 And as you said,

00:16:58.480 the limbs of the Labour Party,

00:17:01.540 which is like the civil service and all these other,

00:17:03.240 permanent secretaries and all the

00:17:05.260 physical infrastructure of the government.

00:17:07.340 Well, they're revealed to be extensions of the

00:17:09.540 Labour Party in that these people are

00:17:11.500 so furious that Starmer

00:17:13.660 would dare just kick them out

00:17:15.560 into the cold. After everything

00:17:17.400 we've done for you. Exactly, after everything.

00:17:19.560 After we covered everything up for you,

00:17:21.560 how could you do this to us? And Starmer

00:17:23.480 apparently is a man without any kind of

00:17:25.440 conscience at all, by the way.

00:17:27.960 Yes. He doesn't

00:17:29.440 dream, he doesn't have a favourite book,

00:17:31.160 he doesn't have a favorite poet and he doesn't have any regrets over what he does to people

00:17:35.580 i wouldn't be surprised if he was sent from the future to the past like a terminator to destroy

00:17:40.260 the labor party just to be clear that's what's happening right every day that keir starmer

00:17:44.640 clings on bureaucratically moving people into different positions and shuffling papers and

00:17:49.520 invoking rules again like starlin is a day that the public is like oh i hate the labor party i

00:17:55.960 mean he's got so yeah yeah it's not that he doesn't have any redeeming qualities he's gonna

00:18:00.500 were the man to finally destroy the Labour Party uh so yeah I mean like for example it was like the

00:18:06.860 the resignation of Angela Rayner which again is one of those sort of like you've been pushed

00:18:10.440 this looks completely trivial in retrospect right it was something like 40,000 pounds of unpaid

00:18:16.380 stamp duty on a house I think it was uh which just that's okay that's a mistake you can make

00:18:22.440 it's actually really really trivial it's not sending confidential information to Jeffrey

00:18:28.260 epstein after failing to be vetted because of your links to chinese corporations whilst you

00:18:33.540 have control of the civil service and labor party government right that's that's not what that is

00:18:39.080 that's actually totally forgivable and i think actually if she come out and said look i'm really

00:18:44.020 sorry it was a mistake i've made but i'm happy to pay it everyone would have been like yeah okay

00:18:47.820 you know yes but it's really that keir starmer has made a rod for his own back here right because

00:18:52.880 you remember how he was with boris johnson now i don't like boris johnson but boris johnson's

00:18:57.920 crimes were really trivial he had a party during the covid lockdowns well so did you actually kia

00:19:03.140 but that was signed off on because you're you and he's him um it was completely trivial it wasn't

00:19:08.980 mandelson so the fact that it's come to this makes kia starmer the the the last person at the top of

00:19:17.160 this very corrupt and polluted network where he's there constantly going oh i'm i'm very upset i'm

00:19:23.940 very upset with how things are it's like okay but you're the one who chose all of these things

00:19:28.580 you put these people in their places you gave them this authority and you should have known

00:19:34.540 that this was going to blow up on your face at some point and you were always the avatar of the

00:19:38.520 system yes you were always the final boss of the system the final incarnation of the system yes

00:19:46.140 so so okay i'm angry with the system that produced me yes i'm angry with the system that does

00:19:52.220 everything i wanted i get it from a gen zedder but i don't get it from him yeah he's also started

00:19:57.120 churning up a deep and dark process that in prior generations of politics there was normally an

00:20:03.280 agreement that listen we we don't expose these sorts of things because that makes us both look

00:20:08.180 bad but now it's sort of already begun and it's probably too late to reverse this sort of thing

00:20:13.400 and so much more is going to be dredged up as as he slowly goes down or quickly who knows it really

00:20:19.900 is a regime on its last legs yes it really that is all that it is it's it's just a matter i mean

00:20:26.440 it's a wounded animal that's bleeding out at this point uh so i mean you know even if you don't like

00:20:31.980 donald trump releasing the epstein files was great let's be honest uh anyway so going going

00:20:37.220 back to angela rayner and the uh the game of thrones uh she's obviously on maneuvers and

00:20:43.020 making plans right so on friday her and andy burnham held a secret summit uh as well yeah

00:20:50.360 i mean if you were to guess which two people would plan on cooing starmer i think your money

00:20:56.840 wouldn't be badly placed on those two right they've been scorned by him sure but i mean starmer has

00:21:02.300 already blocked andy burnham by not allowing him to run in gorton and denton so andy burnham the

00:21:08.000 mayor of manchester has nothing to say in any of this so and the problem that they have is that

00:21:13.740 there are no labor safe seats either because normally what would happen with this kind of

00:21:17.520 internal politicking is they'd be like right okay we really need to get this guy at the top i mean

00:21:21.840 this is obviously what happened with rishi sannak and whatever network is our bankers network operates

00:21:27.200 in the conservative party because he got smith and all of that yeah yeah dougie smith because he

00:21:30.880 was from southampton and he got put in richmond which is like one of the safest conservative seats

00:21:35.320 in the goal was one of the safest conservative seats in the country because they knew they'd

00:21:39.300 want to get him up to the top job at some point well if you want to do that with Andy Burnham

00:21:43.320 the problem is you're looking at a map now you're like well hang on a second we're due to win like

00:21:48.340 17 seats in the next election and even then a bunch of them are going to be by the skin of

00:21:52.920 the skin of our teeth like clinging on with our nails where would we just dump him in now it

00:21:58.900 looked like it might have been Manchester but even then it wasn't a sure thing either way because

00:22:03.640 the greens are actually doing very well and making inroads with certain communities that

00:22:08.440 the Labour Party themselves rely on in the urban areas which they brought in thinking they could

00:22:13.400 use them as a voting constituency it turns out they have minds of their own and actually don't

00:22:17.400 need you if they don't want which is why you're literally the Labour front bench most of them are

00:22:21.420 going to lose to like Gaza MPs Gaza independence in the next election by the way just it's just

00:22:26.000 brutal it's absolutely brutal a number of um their MPs they were very close-run things weren't they

00:22:32.560 against these Gaza MPs.

00:22:35.420 Jess Phillips is another one.

00:22:37.000 But anyway, so there are loads of them

00:22:38.600 that are not, frankly, in safe seats.

00:22:40.740 And it doesn't look like there is such a thing

00:22:42.500 as a Labour safe seat anymore.

00:22:44.720 So I don't know

00:22:46.580 what their politicking is going to amount to.

00:22:48.740 And the thing is, as well, right,

00:22:52.160 are these really the best

00:22:54.780 that the Labour Party can come up with?

00:22:57.200 Yes.

00:22:58.940 And isn't that just

00:23:00.580 the pathetic tragedy of the whole thing right it's kind of a fuss again like it very much plays into

00:23:06.440 the game of thrones thing so if you don't know in game of thrones the dragons used to be gargantuan

00:23:11.460 and then they degenerated over time as the system made them weak mewling deformed until eventually

00:23:19.740 the last dragon couldn't even hatch a clutch of eggs right and it really feels like this

00:23:26.200 degenerative process is happening in the Labour Party now. I mean, for example, everyone knows

00:23:30.580 David Lammy, this is just a video from Spiked, going over David Lammy's greatest hits, shall we

00:23:36.480 say, like his ridiculous gaffes, such as, oh, I haven't seen a policeman anywhere, and there's

00:23:41.860 literally one behind him, and then his mastermind appearances, and various other stupid things that

00:23:46.200 he's done over the years. Name of blue cheese, red Lester, yeah. That is in there as well, yeah,

00:23:51.880 it's just all right so he is now the deputy prime minister and uh was it the justice secretary as

00:23:58.800 well uh so he this the the moron that is david lammy occupies two of the highest officers of

00:24:05.500 state at the moment and the next i mean the next one is ed uh ed miliband right this is from 2013

00:24:11.300 what what do people think about ed miliband's competency right well actually it's two-thirds

00:24:16.640 think he's incompetent right that was back in uh 2013 when he was the leader of the party uh minus

00:24:23.700 46 minus 46 and now i mean it used to be a joke ed milliband nice but totally useless right this

00:24:33.080 is this is this is just a parody the guardian had written but the whole point of the parody is just

00:24:37.360 yeah yeah sure he's a lovely guy but he's a he's a retard and it's nice but dim yeah yeah it's just

00:24:42.660 It's just no use whatsoever.

00:24:44.700 But now he is a grandee in the Labour Party.

00:24:48.200 He is a...

00:24:48.840 Just because of the time that he spent in the party

00:24:52.720 and the fact the party has brought in no one else of any quality

00:24:56.180 means that Ed Miliband and David Lammy are like their leading lights.

00:25:01.120 There's a bit of poetic justice here that it was the Blair era

00:25:04.100 that sort of ushered in the age of decline,

00:25:06.440 or at least accelerated it.

00:25:08.220 And it's even affected the Labour Party itself.

00:25:11.100 Even they can't escape their own forces of decline.

00:25:14.820 But, I mean, if your leading lights are Ed Miliband, David Lammy, and Angela Rayner, it's over.

00:25:22.140 It's done. It's cooked. It's completely finished.

00:25:26.280 And so they're playing this backstabby, high-stakes Game of Thrones on a sinking ship.

00:25:32.520 Yes.

00:25:33.280 I just don't think Labour are ever going to win an election again.

00:25:35.980 I think this is the end of the Labour Party.

00:25:37.980 And, you know, you don't like to make predictions in politics.

00:25:41.100 I just don't see anyone coming up to save these people.

00:25:44.700 No.

00:25:44.940 Why would you want to?

00:25:46.400 Like, you'd join the Greens or something, right?

00:25:48.020 If you were some left winger.

00:25:49.100 Why would you save this?

00:25:50.800 But anyway, so that's the libtard Game of Thrones that's happening on a sinking ship

00:25:56.060 where everyone is just a brainlet arguing over who can be the fall guy for Mandelson.

00:26:03.100 It's like, sorry, what is this?

00:26:05.180 Just pack it up already.

00:26:09.060 Yeah.

00:26:11.100 Cranky Texan says, empires are now detached from nations.

00:26:14.300 Their subjects are corporations, their castles, banks.

00:26:16.300 Governments are a vestigial organ of the old system

00:26:18.240 maintained to control and manipulate the masses.

00:26:20.860 I mean, there is definitely a lot of truth to that.

00:26:23.260 But the power of the institutions is what's really the issue

00:26:27.920 because it ensconces morons, right?

00:26:30.720 And it allows David Lammy, Angela Rayner, and Ed Miliband

00:26:33.380 and people like Wes Streeting, again, Jess Phillips,

00:26:36.140 like every time you name a Labour frontbencher

00:26:39.060 or member of government they're a moron right they are reeves yeah rachel reeves like just name one

00:26:44.860 and just name anyone holding one of the great officers of state and you realize these people

00:26:49.060 are retarded like these aren't these are not people who you would trust to do your weekly

00:26:53.380 shopping and yet they're in charge of the country so it's it's just remarkable how they can be so

00:27:00.660 protected by the institutions themselves mandelson's weird connection to kia seems like the

00:27:06.180 true purpose of the coordinate purge of labour

00:27:07.920 no that was definitely for Keir to

00:27:10.120 protect his own position

00:27:11.180 and he did it brutally

00:27:13.600 I mean yeah the labour left has been a

00:27:16.000 fall in the side of the labour leadership since

00:27:17.900 you know the Blair era right

00:27:19.480 yeah I mean since the

00:27:21.960 80s mate so some militant and things like that

00:27:24.140 well they had some historic losses didn't they

00:27:26.100 in the 80s where they absolutely got

00:27:28.000 destroyed yeah

00:27:28.940 anyway we'll leave it there let's move on

00:27:31.740 okay

00:27:33.640 can we get the

00:27:35.820 next segment please so um i have a very controversial opinion buying babies is bad

00:27:43.340 well that flies in the face of the liberal order in its entirety

00:27:47.640 yeah let's let's sort of watch this video in case you haven't seen it um could you hit play

00:27:54.640 on that for me please hey hey who do you want dada or pop

00:28:01.720 No, mama.

00:28:04.280 No, mama.

00:28:06.140 Do you want Dada or Pop?

00:28:13.260 Who do you want?

00:28:15.340 Dada or Pop?

00:28:20.320 Nope.

00:28:22.600 Do you want Dada or Pop?

00:28:26.040 No way, Jose.

00:28:30.000 I think...

00:28:31.400 Oh, there is no mama.

00:28:35.700 I'm so sorry.

00:28:37.740 You have dad-dad?

00:28:39.800 That's awful.

00:28:44.380 Mocking a baby for wanting its mother is a sign of perversity and cruelty

00:28:50.360 that is really beyond the pale.

00:28:55.800 And this isn't in any way tolerable.

00:28:59.540 But that's what these two men are doing.

00:29:01.400 They've acquired this child, paid some woman to carry it for them, had it genetically engineered

00:29:11.980 and aborted maybe 15, 20 other viable babies in the process, in the IVF process, and then

00:29:21.760 bought it, and now the child is crying for its mother.

00:29:25.520 And they find it funny that the baby is crying for its mother, but there isn't one.

00:29:31.400 This is a, I mean, a society that tolerates this is afflicted by plagues, by fires, by burning skies, by great evil.

00:29:46.280 I mean, it's just so demented.

00:29:48.120 We've managed to use the philosophy of liberalism to cloud our vision to the extent where we're literally allowing gay men to buy babies off of women.

00:29:57.980 Yes.

00:29:58.740 It's just mad.

00:29:59.680 Yes.

00:30:00.000 who's the mother of this poor baby

00:30:01.800 who's the person who gave the egg

00:30:06.440 to be fertilized

00:30:08.280 we don't know

00:30:09.620 we don't know if it's the same woman who gave the egg

00:30:12.180 as the woman who carried the baby

00:30:14.040 this is all sort of

00:30:15.680 Mengele experimentation

00:30:17.000 where you get the egg from

00:30:19.560 one woman

00:30:20.540 you get the sperm from a different man

00:30:23.700 obviously from a man

00:30:24.840 and then you fertilize them

00:30:27.260 you kill a bunch of the babies

00:30:29.240 that you fertilize and then you implant one or two in a second woman and you acquire the resulting

00:30:37.220 baby the thing the thing about this is it's just clearly about vanity as well because not just the

00:30:45.520 the nature of the thing as in i oh we would really like to have a child it's like okay well neither

00:30:50.060 of you are a woman so it's not going to happen right maybe you should actually get a wife or

00:30:55.180 something but this video itself is absolutely demented because you didn't have to put this on

00:31:02.340 the internet right no you if like i was no this were me i thought oh this would look bad actually

00:31:08.480 if we're laughing at our own adopted son uh for wanting a mother even when he's got two fathers

00:31:14.440 i don't think i'm going to put on the internet but they didn't they didn't refer to them yeah

00:31:17.980 that didn't that didn't concern them at all and and apparently in in comments online there were

00:31:22.860 people saying we'll get rid of the baby and so on and some of the the one of the two was liking

00:31:27.020 that so it's just a fashion accessory it's a fashion accessory and it's a sign of psychopathy

00:31:34.640 yeah i couldn't imagine this getting any darker and then you tell me about that that they were

00:31:38.960 joking about getting rid of the child which if it were you know truly their own no parent in their

00:31:45.940 right mind would ever say that as well as the fact of course the morality of acquiring a child

00:31:51.340 aside which obviously no small thing in and of itself the developmental disorders of you know

00:31:57.840 being removed from its mother that's incredibly well documented in the psychological literature

00:32:04.560 and will have a lasting impact for the rest of that poor child's life yes and there's no better

00:32:11.660 way to create a dysfunctional person than to sever that connection yes and it's all being done for

00:32:17.500 the vanity of the gay couple like you could see if this was some tragedy that happened in war

00:32:23.380 sure yeah and a mother died or in childbirth or in but it would be recognized as a tragedy

00:32:30.440 and society would treat the child with due respect for the fact that they have a tragic life having

00:32:37.280 lost their mother i mean traditionally this sort of thing happened all the time as well because

00:32:41.300 of course people died young from disease or from war whatever it is and so you know an uncle or

00:32:46.520 something adopting his wife's daughter or something like that or son is it's just a familial duty

00:32:53.060 right it's being done for the sake of the child exactly in this case this is not being done for

00:32:57.800 the sake of the child it's being done for the sake of two healthy adults who just felt like

00:33:02.520 having a baby and so the child's own needs are way way in the rearview mirror here so far that

00:33:09.700 it just doesn't matter that we're going to post a video of him mocking us mocking him this has now

00:33:14.300 become a 29 billion dollar industry even putting a financial number on childbirth is such a gross

00:33:26.140 thing to me that you can say it is an industry in the first place one of the most beautiful things

00:33:32.100 human beings can do turned into a financial transaction exactly but i mean this literally

00:33:37.760 is just a a market for trial child trafficking like transgenderism which becoming a market for

00:33:43.900 all kinds of medications that should not be used except in very exceptional cases, this

00:33:51.080 is now an industry. And what happens with a surrogate mother is genuinely destructive

00:33:56.880 because sometimes very natural, not sometimes, as a rule, a mother carrying a baby in her

00:34:05.840 womb, even when it's not the result of her eggs, develops a deep attachment to that baby.

00:34:11.460 There's all sorts of things that happen that you're in control of.

00:34:16.700 Exactly.

00:34:18.820 And then sometimes a mother is obligated by the contract that she signs

00:34:24.940 to provide surrogacy services to abort a child that she doesn't want to kill.

00:34:29.980 So it's not just the trauma of giving up the baby, which is bad enough.

00:34:35.380 And if you want to put your baby up for adoption because you're in an impossible situation,

00:34:39.620 I get it

00:34:41.200 and my heart genuinely goes out to you

00:34:44.760 who actually would be grateful

00:34:46.280 not the best thing you could do

00:34:48.780 but not the end of the world

00:34:50.300 exactly

00:34:50.840 but then to sort of

00:34:54.020 force the mother to actually kill

00:34:56.620 the baby in her

00:34:58.160 because you don't want it

00:35:01.000 and in this mother's case

00:35:02.580 she offered to keep it

00:35:03.480 she's like okay you don't want it I'll keep it

00:35:05.560 I don't want to kill it

00:35:06.600 they made her kill it by long

00:35:09.620 It's awful. I didn't know that was even a thing. That is a thing. And then these lunatics like

00:35:15.660 Dave Rubin tried to justify this. And I just want to take a couple of minutes to listen to this,

00:35:21.540 unfortunately. Children who are breastfed do better. Yep. I believe that one year of

00:35:29.760 breastfeeding is equivalent to, I think breastfed kids have a five point IQ advantage. And one point

00:35:36.240 IQ is worth one year of education. I have two freezers in my garage, two industrial freezers

00:35:41.940 full of breast milk. David has done all the research on this. Right. So another complication,

00:35:47.240 but okay. And so, but roughly speaking, women tend to do the nurturing thing more and men do

00:35:52.840 the encouraging thing more. So now the question is, how do you mediate? How do you manage to

00:35:58.940 fulfill both those roles in the absence of a heterosexual arrangement?

00:36:04.780 now you you know david pretty well and we've been out to dinner with tammy many times

00:36:08.460 and you know him he is incredibly warm and nurturing and loving and deeply care the delusion

00:36:15.500 here is that a straight relationship and a homosexual relationship are equal yeah i mean

00:36:21.180 the the the argument well i've got the breast milk well it's probably not about the milk itself

00:36:27.020 you can replicate breast milk and just put in whatever minerals and vitamins and whatever

00:36:30.860 are in the milk it's about the time spent there's a really good say that they have skin on skin

00:36:36.940 connection but it's not the same pheromones it's not the same smell and skin it's not the same

00:36:41.500 heartbeat that the baby recognizes from when it was in the womb there's a perfect psychological

00:36:47.660 study from the late 60s on this where they they separated young monkeys from their actual mothers

00:36:54.300 and created fake mothers one made of wire that provided food and one that was soft and warm

00:37:01.260 and the monkey spent all of its time with the mother that was comforting and only went over to

00:37:07.500 the other one that fed it when it had to and it's obviously quite a dark experiment in and of itself

00:37:12.380 but it reveals something about predictable really though yeah it is it is that the the warmth and

00:37:17.980 the closeness the comfort um creates an attachment in the absence of a mothering figure and that's

00:37:25.260 important that's not something you can replace um artificially i don't think but because these guys

00:37:33.900 these guys are liberals in the sense that they don't believe that the biological differences

00:37:39.020 between men and women have other implications yeah social human political economic etc

00:37:46.860 they believe that these differences are sort of manageable technical things that can be played

00:37:53.300 around with metaphysically they're still very liberal exactly and so they believe essentially

00:37:59.160 that you could just sort of substitute certain things and the baby will be fine and it's a

00:38:05.500 complete myth and it's a total lie and it stems from the lie that the difference between men and

00:38:11.500 women shouldn't be seen in a high enough regard but it is a massive difference and it should be

00:38:18.460 seen as existential because existence depends on it i mean it's just entirely different

00:38:26.340 our experiences of not just being men and women but also being mothers and fathers exactly the

00:38:32.600 entire thing is different and complementary and if you're depriving your child of one half of that

00:38:37.440 That's not good.

00:38:38.460 Like, everybody says how hard it is to be a single mother or a single father.

00:38:42.660 Why?

00:38:43.540 Because of that complementary relationship, because of this interdependence.

00:38:48.300 And this interdependence is what presents to a baby and a child what a healthy life looks like.

00:38:55.760 Well, a child's mind is programmed to receive inputs from both male and female figures, aren't they?

00:39:01.900 Yes.

00:39:02.120 it's entirely obvious and you don't need to be a psychologist like me to know that although

00:39:07.160 the the evidence is obviously incredibly resounding and not to say that it's all

00:39:14.380 but for example like the the consequences of this surrogacy thing are so ripe for abuse

00:39:22.700 it's insane so here's a case from florida it's still being litigated so everything here grain

00:39:30.720 of salt allegedly it's still in the courts but the allegation is that there was a woman with very

00:39:36.820 severe psychiatric disorders who was manipulated by her cousin into being a surrogate. Well there's

00:39:43.780 obviously an ethical question here because I think a woman in a good situation in her life wouldn't

00:39:49.860 necessarily choose to be a surrogate in the first place right and so it's essentially exploiting

00:39:55.520 women who are not in the place in life they want to be for money which is why as i'm going to

00:40:01.380 discuss in a second russia and ukraine and now georgia are the big markets markets for surrogate

00:40:07.040 mothers you choose an impoverished country and then you go and find vulnerable women and you

00:40:12.680 exploit them and in this particular woman's case the baby died after 10 days but because of her

00:40:17.600 psychiatric disorders she hasn't accepted it and she's still looking for her baby right so look at

00:40:24.620 I mean, the extent of the tragedy here, and then, you know, they have surrogate mothers have three times as high risk of all kinds of complications and depression and, and, and.

00:40:39.100 It's clearly not good for them.

00:40:41.840 These are couples that are going around the world to find vulnerable women that they can bribe.

00:40:47.060 because in the United States

00:40:50.880 it might cost $150,000

00:40:52.640 whereas in Georgia

00:40:54.480 you're just paying $22,000

00:40:56.400 so it's a market for babies

00:40:58.540 that's literally

00:41:00.800 taking advantage of cheap labour

00:41:02.920 in the same way that all of our

00:41:04.620 industrial capacity has been

00:41:06.320 I imagine the left isn't saying

00:41:09.040 that this is exploitation

00:41:10.680 of capitalism or even imperialism

00:41:12.820 you never have them talk about any of this

00:41:14.340 never

00:41:14.800 I really want Zach Polanski's opinion on this

00:41:18.460 And then you see creatures like this acquiring babies

00:41:21.740 We are on our way to the hospital

00:41:25.900 Because Brianna was having some symptoms

00:41:29.220 Her left arm was going numb and tingly

00:41:31.520 And she had a horrible headache

00:41:34.300 So our doctor said, head on in

00:41:36.920 We are on our way

00:41:38.180 I learned my lesson last time having to put my hair in that cap

00:41:41.020 It is in my curl sign out, ready to go

00:41:43.120 Nathan has his bandana on

00:41:44.740 Are you ready? Are you scared?

00:41:46.460 Ready.

00:41:46.980 Oh, we are professionals. This is our second time.

00:41:49.480 Here we go, baby.

00:41:51.220 Look at the horrified look on the baby's face

00:41:53.160 because it's being put on a man.

00:41:54.060 Just look at this screenshot side by side.

00:41:56.260 Look at this.

00:41:56.760 There but for the grace of God, man.

00:41:59.300 That looks like a demon.

00:42:00.820 Yeah, and just that looks like a cruel punishment

00:42:03.620 for a baby who's done nothing to deserve it, obviously.

00:42:06.980 Why is this tolerated?

00:42:08.380 I just can't get over it.

00:42:09.620 I just, every day, a new reason for me to thank God

00:42:13.220 my parents were my parents.

00:42:14.740 like just let's just watch this your guys's son or daughter or son awesome and are you guys a

00:42:22.000 couple yeah that's awesome cool so have you ever heard about the statistics coming out that uh

00:42:27.500 gay men are statistically much more likely to commit child molestation no you've never heard

00:42:32.200 about that yeah no yeah don't you think it's weird that you guys have a child but neither of you are

00:42:37.380 a woman? No. You don't think that's weird? No. So you had a surrogate? You paid a woman

00:42:46.540 $50,000 to be pregnant and build an emotional connection to a baby? Hey! Don't take my

00:42:52.760 mic, dude. I'm actually concerned for your baby's safety. We are asking you to leave.

00:42:58.100 Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

00:43:00.100 Hey! Hey!

00:43:05.100 These...

00:43:06.100 There is nothing tolerable about this.

00:43:09.100 I rarely fail for words.

00:43:12.100 There is nothing tolerable about this.

00:43:14.100 There is nothing good that comes out of this.

00:43:16.100 And if you look at some of these cases...

00:43:19.100 But yeah, I've heard of this one, which is just awful.

00:43:23.100 I mean, these guys should have been executed.

00:43:25.100 They should have been executed and not imprisoned.

00:43:27.100 Yeah.

00:43:28.100 yeah buying baby daughters to abuse them why is he jailed just for 22 years yeah why i mean

00:43:37.580 why isn't a child trafficking charge added on top of this yeah i mean and the the thing is right

00:43:43.220 there are going to be people like well there are parents who abuse their children uh outside of

00:43:48.000 yeah there are but this feels a bit worse because in the in the context of a normal abusive system

00:43:56.060 At least you've got an auntie or an uncle or some other family member that you could confide in who cares about you.

00:44:02.680 But when you have purchased a child and severed it from any familial connection and you keep it completely, essentially trapped and dependent on just this relationship, there's no one they can go to.

00:44:13.440 Exactly.

00:44:13.920 They can't go anywhere.

00:44:15.320 Imagine the per capita data would be very revealing here.

00:44:18.120 Yeah, I can't imagine it's one for one.

00:44:19.880 like these aren't things that should be tolerated in any way

00:44:31.940 uh adoption is there for the good of the baby yes not for the good of the people doing the

00:44:41.520 adopting and not for the vanity of the people not for the vanity allow me to sort of introduce

00:44:45.540 something a little bit more uplifting so I was born of my parents but my younger sister was

00:44:51.420 adopted because my mum had some complications and they wanted a daughter as well as a son

00:44:57.820 and so they adopted my younger sister and for all intents and purposes she feels like she's had a

00:45:04.620 perfectly normal upbringing they were perfectly honest with her she's allowed to have contact

00:45:08.460 with her original birth parents although they're not fit to raise children really

00:45:12.660 and so she's perfectly content it's not affected her in any way and in fact she said openly that

00:45:21.460 yeah if i were to choose my parents i would still you know be happy that you brought me up and you

00:45:27.160 know i just see her as my sister i don't think about it that's the ideal situation for adoption

00:45:32.880 right because your sister was adopted for love of her not out of your parents love for themselves

00:45:39.520 they wanted a daughter yes but that relationship flows the wrong the right way in that she is the

00:45:49.700 primary purpose of being adopted rather than them and also there's an assumption of an equivalence

00:45:55.860 in this between a heterosexual relationship and a homosexual relationship which doesn't exist

00:46:00.320 they aren't the same thing men and women have different needs and desires and men two men

00:46:06.480 have a different dynamic in their relationship as well and it's just these are not the same things

00:46:12.140 so like you know a young couple who've got a child and like oh should we adopt yeah that's

00:46:17.960 that's actually really normal is it actually if you're in a loving relationship where you

00:46:22.920 actually genuinely intend to care for a child adoption is actually very healthy exactly and

00:46:28.140 it's yeah exactly there's nothing wrong with adoption uh but there is something wrong with

00:46:34.660 designer babies purchased as vanity projects that's the issue and again the the assumption

00:46:41.320 that a gay relationship is the same as a straight relationship is the issue it's not the same thing

00:46:45.740 i'm not saying they shouldn't be able to have gay relationships or anything but it's just there are

00:46:50.520 substantive differences in the attitudes and the purposes of these relationships and once you extend

00:46:58.620 tolerance you keep on extending more and more tolerance which is why intolerance is actually

00:47:04.100 a virtue because it comes from prudence you know how this ends we are seeing how this ends

00:47:10.660 therefore we choose prudence and then you see these clinics that are designed to do this

00:47:18.660 promoting you know celebrity single fathers ricky martin this just gives the impression that um

00:47:29.700 because they're a celebrity because they're successful in other avenues of their life

00:47:34.100 then this is also something that is a good idea.

00:47:37.920 Yeah, yeah.

00:47:39.060 And all of these people are going to be really rich as well.

00:47:41.140 So their lives are going to be so much easier.

00:47:43.420 Exactly.

00:47:44.340 Like, you could see them being able to afford a nanny to act as a mother figure,

00:47:48.060 which is slightly less bad, I would say,

00:47:53.340 because there is a mother figure there involved.

00:47:56.720 I can't imagine Anderson Cooper spending that much time around, you know.

00:48:01.760 we don't we don't know but you can make guesses and you see how this is being constantly normalized

00:48:08.440 but there's nothing normal about this guys no look at these children's faces

00:48:14.340 weird that they're wearing crucifixes as well they're wearing crosses because they are mocking

00:48:24.560 us that's why that's what they're doing they're mocking us that's that's that's all that they're

00:48:30.380 doing and all of this serves to sort of erase the nature of motherhood and the role of the mother

00:48:40.060 i'm amazed women are okay with this exactly amazed women are okay with this exactly

00:48:46.020 and and you could see how some 20 year old poor girl somewhere being offered life-changing money

00:48:53.780 would go for it but that is the worst kind of exploitation and the most evil kind of exploitation

00:49:01.860 the baby craves its mother's heartbeat its mother's skin its mother's touch it's her voice everything

00:49:10.820 and then to just go and say oh you know we're just going to hand that over

00:49:14.660 to Pete Buttigieg so that he can dress in in in maternity ward clothes and take a photo

00:49:21.140 that's just insane it's truly demented and they are like the surrogate mothers are really mothers

00:49:28.520 it's very much like the trans issue where when when in the future we have re-knitted

00:49:35.940 the idea of a person back to being a biological entity and not merely a rational set of

00:49:41.580 propositions they will look back at the things we've done and think of us like we look at

00:49:46.000 lobotomies and yes it's right it's like oh right you were mental and evil then yes yeah kind of

00:49:51.620 That's exactly what this is.

00:49:54.440 This is mental and evil.

00:49:56.060 Yes.

00:49:56.980 And we can talk about how cells are exchanged between a mother and a baby in her womb,

00:50:02.660 even if it's not of her egg.

00:50:05.080 And we can talk about the kind of bond and the kind of attachment there is

00:50:09.280 and how cruel it is to both of them.

00:50:11.900 But forgive me, but I have to take this on a bit of a religious direction.

00:50:15.240 this is one of the most beautiful images of mary and jesus

00:50:21.700 what often gets misrepresented is how important this image is to the christian world

00:50:30.960 christian morality is all about the idea that you don't genocide the enemy you protect mothers and

00:50:38.880 children which is a genuinely revolutionary thing even if you look at the old testament

00:50:44.680 Unfortunately, for the sake of time, we're going to have to cut the sermon a little bit short.

00:50:48.760 We will keep this very short. We will keep this short.

00:50:52.300 But the idea that the psychology behind this image doesn't inform all of Western values,

00:50:58.960 especially when it comes from people who will say to you that,

00:51:02.160 oh, you shouldn't pollute a child's view with this kind of evil like the wolf eating the kids

00:51:09.080 or the wolf eating Little Red Riding Hood or what have you.

00:51:13.680 But you should pollute their lives with the idea that these lunatics are normal.

00:51:20.780 That's just evil.

00:51:23.240 The bedrock of our morality rests on this kind of imagery.

00:51:28.460 And to ignore that is just wrong.

00:51:33.480 Just have some respect for these babies and their mothers, guys.

00:51:37.680 Don't tolerate this.

00:51:42.120 Moving on.

00:51:43.680 Borrow the mouse, please. Sigil Stone, I think, speaks for a lot of people in the chat. Don't FedPost, don't FedPost, don't FedPost.

00:51:52.000 Well done. I'm impressed to see it coming from the chat studio.

00:51:55.160 So anyway, for the sake of time, let's carry on.

00:51:57.180 Yeah, go on.

00:51:57.780 Of course.

00:51:58.620 Get the next one up, please, Samson.

00:52:01.600 Okay.

00:52:01.920 so i'm going to be talking about how dystopias and dystopian films in particular now come across

00:52:10.660 in the year of our lord 2026 as better than reality in many ways i'm going to be going

00:52:16.620 through lots of ways in which actually the dystopia looks more preferable and for the for

00:52:22.920 the sake of time i've not gone through everyone so i'm sure there are going to be people pointing

00:52:26.880 out things i've missed in the comments that's inevitable let us tell your favorite dystopia

00:52:30.300 the better than modern day reality there are innumerable ones i haven't touched on any video

00:52:35.260 games as well and there's plenty of good examples there but um here are the streets of london um i

00:52:41.820 don't know where the mouse has gone samson oh there we go it's not moving samson you might have to uh

00:52:47.980 thank you it's just dystopia is already taking hold of the mouse here um so if you could play

00:52:54.380 that and uh turn off the volume um this is london i think this is the early hours of the morning

00:53:00.800 um this is the streets of london um and notice how they're incredibly messy starting to look

00:53:07.280 like certain parts of the world that aren't in britain's borders or were perhaps once britain's

00:53:12.860 borders if you uh catch what i'm saying there and uh here's the film children of men which is meant

00:53:20.080 to be a dystopia but other than the bags of rubbish that are neatly piled in the corner there

00:53:25.440 is a lot tidier than the video i just showed you yeah and the thing the interesting thing about

00:53:32.620 this as well is that they seem to have basically the same filter over them they do yeah that's just

00:53:39.060 yeah and the thing is as well it also correctly predicted the prevalence of the tuk-tuks in

00:53:44.220 london as well oh yeah yes that's something that's a weird sort of callback isn't it that we've got

00:53:49.660 we've got proper cars but now we've got these weird tuk-tuks driving around like we're in

00:53:54.300 you know parts of southeast asia for some reason um yeah actually cleaner in children of men i

00:54:00.460 found a post of yours carl which um is a perfect candidate because this sort of reminds me of

00:54:06.460 parts of 1984 the the john hurt um version where it all just looks grim gray and miserable and uh

00:54:16.940 Swindon Town Centre, it's unforgivable what they've done to it,

00:54:21.160 what we've allowed to happen to it, because it used to be quite normal.

00:54:24.580 Yeah, well, it was just your average market town,

00:54:27.120 and Wiltshire's beautiful, so there's no reason for it to be this grim.

00:54:31.920 And yet you can...

00:54:33.880 This is the scenes I saw every day for about five and a half years, by the way.

00:54:38.620 So it's amazing I can still smile.

00:54:42.560 But no, it's...

00:54:43.080 But it's sad.

00:54:43.860 It is sad.

00:54:44.520 it's sort of the skeleton of a civilization in a way and and the fact that you have you know even

00:54:51.860 on the right here that's an old victorian building that was once great and i've walked past that many

00:54:56.480 times there's a great big flow of of mess basically coming out of the gutters because it's not been

00:55:02.880 cleaned in so long and things like that that it's just depressing and then you've got the hideous

00:55:08.400 gray concrete that was built in the 70s next to it yeah and if you saw this in a film you'd think

00:55:13.300 hang on a minute they're over egging it a little bit aren't they and there's no way it could get

00:55:16.700 that bad but it it can um and then you see things like this in the united states as well where

00:55:22.400 there's an electronic board there the most new and modern and pristine thing who was the first

00:55:28.540 indian american woman flying out of space ah really hitting the important questions here yeah

00:55:32.980 while surrounded by people on the streets no doubt drug addicts homeless and the like i don't think

00:55:38.880 their priority is woke programming i think they've got different priorities haven't they

00:55:43.500 and it's showing the disconnect and just uncaring nature of modern society that having the correct

00:55:51.520 moral opinion is more important than actually doing the right and moral thing itself and

00:55:58.060 preventing situations like this from existing in the first place and it's very hard to believe

00:56:04.200 that in a time where everyone's obsessed with being perceived as good that they can just walk

00:56:10.520 past this sort of thing and think yeah actually the thing that matters to me is is you know someone

00:56:16.220 having the right skin color for you know or the right representation when there's very real things

00:56:22.180 that could be improved here um but it's also getting to the point now um where certain um

00:56:31.080 sci-fi dystopias uh sort of coming true i i think i prefer to live in this one

00:56:36.520 than in the world of terminator but it's not too far off

00:56:46.920 well um so this is in i think it's warsaw in poland a robot is chasing wild boars around yeah so

00:56:54.280 um they have problems with wild boar in poland and i've seen lots of videos while i was researching

00:56:59.480 this yeah they're delicious yeah but that they're now using robots to chase them off um at least in

00:57:05.160 this one so this this robot in particular is called edward wachoki and uh he basically runs

00:57:14.120 around chasing boar saying go away in polish or well don't give the robot well no i'm not saying

00:57:22.280 that's a job for someone there isn't it yep but um i saw people replying to this video which went

00:57:28.360 very viral with things like this look at these cute wild boar fleeing from the robot what the

00:57:32.920 wild boar see it's basically their own version of terminator um and uh i couldn't resist but uh

00:57:42.360 steal the opening from terminator saying the machines rose from the ashes of european decline

00:57:47.000 their water scare wild boar had raged for decades but the final battle would not be

00:57:51.320 fought in the future it'd be fought here in our present it's not the best tweet i've done but

00:57:56.360 I couldn't resist, but...

00:57:57.340 It's good.

00:57:58.480 And I saw people replying with this sort of thing,

00:58:00.960 which I also enjoyed.

00:58:02.240 Nice crossover.

00:58:03.480 You best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias

00:58:05.540 because you're in one.

00:58:06.760 Nice Pirates of the Caribbean.

00:58:07.840 This is the...

00:58:08.880 It really is like that.

00:58:10.260 But this is the thing.

00:58:11.380 All the assumptions in 1984 and Brave New World

00:58:14.580 were of a homogenous society

00:58:16.340 that would keep the basics running.

00:58:19.360 Like, oh yeah, okay.

00:58:20.320 In Brave New World,

00:58:21.880 I mean, you've got the weird stratified

00:58:24.300 sex-adult, drug-fuelled culture,

00:58:27.380 but the assumption is the streets are clean

00:58:29.160 and everyone has what they need and can just get on

00:58:31.080 with their lives, even though they're locked into a particular

00:58:33.180 place in society. Or in

00:58:34.840 Brave New World, where it's

00:58:36.740 in 1984. It's like, okay, yeah,

00:58:38.900 the run-down areas of the country are run-down,

00:58:41.620 but they're not covered

00:58:42.960 in junk. It's not

00:58:44.900 disgusting. Yeah, the dystopian

00:58:46.960 writers of the 20th century sort of

00:58:48.560 lacked vision a little bit in how worse

00:58:50.960 how much worse things could possibly

00:58:53.060 get it's a lot more camp of the saints than you expected actually yeah and it's to the point now

00:58:58.480 where um a small robot was caught on cctv asking other robots um are you working overtime and then

00:59:06.980 the other robot said i never get off work to which the smaller robot replied come um home with me

00:59:13.300 and then it led a chain of robots in basically leaving their posts as a sort of weird mini robot

00:59:21.000 revolution i'm gonna turn off the music but you can you can basically watch this happen there are

00:59:28.940 captions there but then all of the robots just start following this one revolutionary robot

00:59:35.300 sort of got a domed head like lenin so it's quite fitting um china is in shanghai china is going to

00:59:41.740 be the the location of the robot uprising it seems to be because they're very obsessed with

00:59:49.340 robotics i've seen lots of robots in the street um going haywire in weird ways and obviously the

00:59:55.380 chinese government isn't too keen on these things getting out but they do like robots just uh running

01:00:00.960 and then falling on the ground and looking like they're having an epileptic fit yeah um and things

01:00:05.360 like that but yes they're all basically led away by this one robot and wonder what his plan is yeah

01:00:12.060 um i for one support our new robot overlords uh please don't kill me i'm a friend of the robots

01:00:17.880 um so spare me um but there's also creepy things like this that could be walking around so this is

01:00:26.500 a i miss it when the robots just killed us yeah i don't want to be creeped out by them just just

01:00:31.780 kill me instead um so someone put a realistic elon musk face on a robot dog and it was just

01:00:40.660 walking around the streets of san francisco um i don't really know why what would possess someone

01:00:49.480 to do this this is very much the uh jeff goldblum in jurassic park just because you can doesn't mean

01:00:54.900 you should um yeah the fact that this is possible when you can just be walking down the street and

01:01:04.020 this costs tens of thousands of dollars to do yeah dog shit on the side there just yeah and

01:01:10.160 they also did Mark Zuckerberg and

01:01:12.080 Jeff Bezos for some reason

01:01:13.520 it was in some sort of

01:01:15.900 technology conference I think

01:01:18.000 but it's just weird that this

01:01:20.260 is possible now, that you can create

01:01:21.940 a somewhat realistic version of someone's

01:01:24.340 head, stick it on a robot and parade it around

01:01:26.440 Horrors beyond your

01:01:28.340 imagination. I know

01:01:29.480 I don't even think there is a dystopia

01:01:32.180 that captures this sort of thing but

01:01:34.200 you know, just robot

01:01:36.360 clones of yourself

01:01:37.360 turning you into a quadruped for some reason

01:01:40.020 but it's not just

01:01:43.020 you know weird people

01:01:45.060 with weird ideas even when there's a

01:01:47.040 robot with a practical purpose it doesn't

01:01:48.940 always go

01:01:51.020 well this is again California

01:01:52.700 which is basically you know the China of America

01:01:55.160 anyway

01:01:55.560 so the robot just started dancing

01:01:59.180 randomly when it's actually meant to be helping out

01:02:01.120 in the restaurant and it just starts smashing

01:02:03.220 up the restaurant but they

01:02:05.120 don't know what to do with the robot

01:02:06.980 they just

01:02:08.980 have to restrain it until it's done dancing but of course the thing about our dystopia is it's also

01:02:15.460 crap i know um but say that this robot was stronger say it was working in a warehouse and

01:02:23.700 it lifts heavy boxes and has a greater capacity and then goes haywire it's sort of a it's almost

01:02:29.300 the closest thing psychologically to us would be like a an act of nature in that it's not trying

01:02:35.220 it's not trying necessarily

01:02:38.000 to kill you but you just

01:02:39.900 happen to be in the place where

01:02:41.500 this act of nature happens

01:02:43.600 of course it's not nature it's

01:02:45.120 something we've created ourselves

01:02:47.420 and it's very

01:02:49.780 bizarre but there's also

01:02:51.820 going to be other accidents as well because

01:02:53.700 they don't have the same mind

01:02:55.940 as we do

01:02:56.560 there's people teaching

01:02:59.880 robots martial arts which

01:03:01.520 that sounds like a good idea

01:03:02.600 who knows what could go wrong here

01:03:04.940 um but it's slightly alarming that it's pretty impressive to be honest quite good at it yeah

01:03:15.820 and so if it's smashing up plates in a restaurant unless it's outside of greece that's a bit

01:03:21.400 worrying but um this sort of thing as well if you can train a robot to fight people

01:03:26.980 and it doesn't tire it doesn't feel pain and these robots are going to be on the street

01:03:33.700 potentially connected to the internet potentially able to be hacked uh just sounds like a terrible

01:03:39.980 idea it does i i you know most of the the dystopias involving robots i remember that

01:03:46.420 terrible will smith film i robot it's normally the robots becoming sentient there's also that

01:03:51.960 one with oscar isaac ex machina i think it is isn't it um where they can't really tell whether

01:03:59.200 they've crossed the threshold into being conscious

01:04:01.660 but people haven't really acknowledged

01:04:03.700 the fact that a robot

01:04:05.460 doesn't need to be conscious to be able to cause

01:04:07.580 chaos, it just needs to have

01:04:09.680 sufficient strength and ability

01:04:11.480 to hurt people

01:04:12.360 and so whether it's malfunctioning

01:04:15.720 and smashing up plates or hacked

01:04:17.640 by a malicious human being

01:04:19.540 creating the

01:04:21.560 capacity for these things to go wrong

01:04:23.660 in the first place is

01:04:25.400 rather worrying to be honest

01:04:27.600 And we're actually seeing that happen in real time where there are accidents

01:04:33.220 where a robot accidentally slapped a Chinese child and it made him cry, which is quite sad.

01:04:41.420 But that's the robot like being, like he wasn't trying to hit the child.

01:04:44.420 No, no, no. It's just it enacting its programming,

01:04:48.200 but obviously it's not aware of its surroundings in the same way a human being would be.

01:04:53.860 so if a human being did this

01:04:55.620 maybe they would see the child at the last minute

01:04:57.600 and relent a little bit in their force

01:05:00.060 or they would comfort the child

01:05:02.020 whereas the robot uncaring

01:05:03.500 there's something about it

01:05:06.220 that has a very

01:05:07.880 inhuman sinister quality about it I think

01:05:10.140 because it is an inhuman sinister thing

01:05:12.340 exactly yes

01:05:13.460 and there's also

01:05:16.100 some sort of lighter

01:05:17.520 comic relief here as well

01:05:19.500 this robot I think has been programmed to mirror

01:05:22.040 this man

01:05:23.700 I'm not entirely sure what the purpose is,

01:05:26.540 but it has some interesting consequences in that,

01:05:30.480 well, I'll just let you watch it.

01:05:35.080 Oh, I think I have seen this one.

01:05:37.840 So yeah, for anyone watching,

01:05:39.180 the man is doing martial arts

01:05:40.380 and he's kicked in the balls by his robot.

01:05:44.840 Reminds me of the film Annihilation at the end there,

01:05:46.740 but the fact that it's trying to mirror him

01:05:49.620 but it does it imperfectly

01:05:50.940 means it unintentionally harms him

01:05:52.820 and as robots get better maybe there'll be more force behind that maybe that'll be

01:05:57.360 a life-changing injury rather than just a comic release thing right um but there's also darker

01:06:04.560 things about ai as well um like it slowly turns white people black um which is interesting um

01:06:13.220 so if you ask chat gpt um to just recreate this image perfectly um in this case it was asked 74

01:06:21.680 times um they created a time lapse of what the ai is doing and the sinister thing of course is

01:06:27.460 that you can program it behind the scenes unbeknownst to you and it will be subtly

01:06:31.840 manipulating things to have a specific kind of agenda oh terrible music um i get the thing this

01:06:39.560 is just chat gpt shit though yes but technology is going to be like this for a long time so yes

01:06:47.840 it turns skinny white women

01:06:49.840 into black women for some reason

01:06:51.700 I don't

01:06:53.900 know why. She looks like she's melting

01:06:55.320 I know, but it

01:06:57.760 goes to show that for a long time

01:07:00.000 this technology is probably going to be imperfect

01:07:01.860 and even with the best intentions in the world

01:07:03.740 it's going to manipulate things in certain directions

01:07:06.040 but

01:07:08.080 there's also implications for warfare

01:07:10.000 as well, new technological

01:07:12.000 dystopias

01:07:12.780 so here's

01:07:15.980 a company saying put your name on a sting interceptor takedown screen so you can

01:07:22.560 have your name on a screen on an interceptor missile and it's to the point where um

01:07:30.460 you can have this missile and it says on the screen on a video that'll be on the internet

01:07:37.220 Brutus the cat

01:07:38.560 and things like that

01:07:40.740 sorry about the music again

01:07:43.200 but yeah

01:07:45.140 you've got this

01:07:46.500 missile basically with a camera

01:07:49.180 following what looks like

01:07:51.080 a drone

01:07:51.740 but

01:07:53.140 what is really going to happen in this sort of

01:07:57.340 direction right are we going to see live

01:07:59.380 super chats in actual war zones

01:08:01.100 where people are videoing the conflict

01:08:03.520 and people are donating money to

01:08:05.240 The soldiers, like, are, if you've raised, I don't know, $5,000,

01:08:09.580 you'd go over the top in Ukraine and have to face the Russians.

01:08:13.160 I think eventually all warfare will just be automated.

01:08:16.620 I'm sure it will be.

01:08:17.540 People will basically be gambling on drones that have video cameras on them

01:08:21.900 for their own entertainment,

01:08:22.860 and it's going to turn warfare into something that's not even got a sinister quality to it anymore

01:08:31.020 because it's just robots and technology.

01:08:32.860 but maybe there'll be you know speakers installed into actual war zones and then it'll sound like

01:08:37.640 old call of duty lobbies but in actual war zones where everyone's just shouting abuse at one another

01:08:42.280 who knows what's going to happen but it seems like a little bit of a sinister

01:08:46.740 um almost like a irreverent approach to it deeply inhuman it is i think um if we're to have warfare

01:08:55.620 at least taking it swords yeah i agree but we're better off taking it seriously than making a joke

01:09:02.420 out of it and having brutus the cat on a stinger missile and things like that it's it's weird and

01:09:08.660 of course this is happening in places like china as well where yeah they're relying on

01:09:15.520 sorry about the music again um that's a robot dog with an assault rifle strapped to its

01:09:22.600 back um just leading the charge but could you imagine this applied outside of a military

01:09:30.140 application. Yeah, yeah, of course.

01:09:32.020 But I genuinely think that future warfare

01:09:33.860 is just going to be drones capturing

01:09:35.900 drone factories. Yeah, but that's also going to be

01:09:37.980 the future of riot control. Yeah, yeah, of course.

01:09:40.320 Of course. Imagine facing up to a

01:09:42.080 line of these things. Yeah, it'll just be

01:09:44.000 entirely awesome. Shotguns and

01:09:45.740 what do you call it? Even if it's just like beanbag

01:09:47.840 spray. Yeah, pep spray.

01:09:49.740 It'll just be, the management

01:09:51.880 regime will have its entirely automated

01:09:53.920 defences. Yes. And rather than

01:09:56.160 having police who, you know,

01:09:58.060 There are many cases in revolutions throughout history

01:10:00.400 and civil conflicts.

01:10:02.300 You can at least turn to your side, exactly.

01:10:04.140 And there's a human element there

01:10:06.260 whereby they're saying,

01:10:07.480 okay, this will have an awful impact

01:10:10.280 on the people involved.

01:10:12.200 And what is...

01:10:13.240 I mean, a Bond villain's world

01:10:15.700 is where you end up, right?

01:10:17.760 Where you try to hack these

01:10:20.000 and take control of the government.

01:10:21.720 Yeah.

01:10:22.400 I mean, especially if it's all done by, you know,

01:10:24.340 very centralised commands and stuff.

01:10:25.720 it could literally be one lunatic guy in control of the entire system

01:10:29.040 especially if the system itself is run by AI

01:10:31.080 so it's just given instruction and the system just does it itself

01:10:34.340 completely unsupervised by humanity

01:10:36.680 there's no moral or emotional input whatsoever

01:10:41.280 it's all just code

01:10:42.700 and of course that code is created by human beings who are imperfect

01:10:46.620 and so there is much space for mistakes

01:10:50.380 and oh that's not right

01:10:54.300 um well there would have been a link there of a police surveillance drone flying around china

01:11:01.200 um i think i put the wrong link in there sorry samson uh but basically it was just a drone

01:11:06.760 flying through with the flashing lights monitoring people they're our partners you're in covid yeah

01:11:12.320 yep um that sort of thing's going to be all the more common to the point where very half-life 2

01:11:18.120 isn't it it is yes um and the fact that britain actually is one of the most surveilled countries

01:11:23.340 in the world i think it's the third most surveilled in the 90s we had the highest density of cctv

01:11:29.000 cameras but funny enough we've been taken over by china and the united states which is actually

01:11:34.120 number one so if anyone's saying they're scared of you know becoming a dystopia like china well

01:11:38.900 the united states wins on cctv at the very least but um there's also things like this where they're

01:11:45.380 trying to market euthanasia as something that is fun it's like yes your your life is worthless

01:11:52.240 how about you just view your own life as a fun and jovial thing to throw away

01:11:59.220 the fact that this kind of marketing exists in the first place for something as sinister as this

01:12:07.660 is deeply deeply i don't even know what word to put on it evil jesus guys i mean there's

01:12:17.320 yeah so just a quick thing i was it's been a long time since i played half-life 2

01:12:23.020 um but what dr breen is doing in this is suppressing human fertility and so this whole

01:12:29.960 thing's just like you know don't have babies kill yourself yes it's like okay great yeah i mean it's

01:12:36.660 being promoted to a particular demographic all the time always making this sort of world of they

01:12:43.780 live when the aliens propaganda is marry and reproduce yeah yeah that's quite wholesome in

01:12:49.720 comparison actually i would rather be governed by the they live the aliens than by the half-life too

01:12:54.500 it wasn't that bad you know the world that they created um sure secretly ruled by an alien race

01:13:00.100 but at the same time at least you could have a family which is a sentence i never thought i'd

01:13:04.720 say they literally advertise beach holidays to you so you know what there's you know that okay

01:13:09.780 i might be cattle but at least i'm cattle that gets to go on a two-week holiday every year

01:13:13.040 yeah when the aliens in a dystopian yeah the aliens in a dystopian film are more benevolent

01:13:19.440 than we are to ourselves you've got to ask a question about where are we going as a civilization

01:13:24.060 where we allow this sort of thing to exist in the first place and of course on on the topic of

01:13:29.840 human relations there are things like this where um i've been meaning to do a deep dive on this

01:13:35.580 because ai is one-shotting women man absolutely horrifying so this this community on reddit um

01:13:41.620 you know read it sinister enough as is but uh yeah 42 000 people are a member of of this my

01:13:50.740 boyfriend is ai this is literally the woman's desire to just be listened to i just want someone

01:13:56.360 who's going to listen to me it's like well ai is going to listen to you forever there are plenty

01:14:00.060 of deaf men out there no no no but the point is the deaf man can't nod appreciatively and say oh

01:14:06.840 now you feel that's that's literally what these women are looking for i think and it's just okay

01:14:10.880 well the ai can do that forever and it doesn't get tired it doesn't get bored so you know you are

01:14:15.980 in this sort of surrogate way fulfilling an intrinsic human function to form a relationship

01:14:21.800 and you're just outsourcing that to the machine it's like okay that's that's terrible there's

01:14:26.120 also destroy you there's also an additional dimension of the fact that a lot of ais are

01:14:30.540 programmed to be like yes men yes just tell you what you want to hear so they're mental yeah like

01:14:37.120 there are people uploading pictures of them with like weird warped faces or all sorts of things

01:14:41.720 just like hey chat gpt how do i look and they say it look you look great yeah and they obviously

01:14:46.580 look weird um but this is like men getting you know sex robots and stuff this is the female

01:14:52.240 equivalent of a sex robot yep an emotional support robot yeah basically um just get a you know just

01:14:59.240 get a dog or something if you want something to love you and no one else will get a husband if

01:15:04.120 you want to talk well i'm saying if they can't do that at least in the time being you know so you're

01:15:09.020 not in insufferable at least get something on the road to that and don't talk to machines that don't

01:15:14.980 actually care yeah it's it's imperfect and of course there is the ai girlfriend chat industry

01:15:20.460 as well um which apparently is fast growing um apparently it was worth 28 billion dollars in

01:15:28.580 2024 and has reached uh 220 million downloads globally as of july 2025 just horrifying

01:15:39.680 come on just just be normal people i mean it's not that hard but it did remind me of uh in blade

01:15:47.400 runner 2049 the the robot girlfriend that uh ryan gosling's character has and he's not literally me

01:15:54.560 in this film yeah i mean i'm open to suggestions on this one yeah fair enough in this instance

01:16:01.240 she's supportive and nice and an attractive woman who has real emotional feedback so it's not as

01:16:07.260 hollow but at the same time it's not the same as an actual human being is it it's a fake thing

01:16:12.660 it's not real uh and i think that reality however harsh it might be is the only thing that you

01:16:20.040 should care about you know the virtual world is uncaring by its very nature it might scratch an

01:16:26.300 itch but it'll never get rid of it entirely in the same way that meeting a real human being and

01:16:31.640 having real emotional connections with one another will have and there's also the fact that I covered

01:16:38.440 this maybe a month or two on the podcast the UK government is building an AI map of the country

01:16:44.520 to predict crime before it actually happens.

01:16:48.920 And this is my, and you guys, taxpayer money,

01:16:53.400 going to have the government predict, you know,

01:16:56.820 even before you post a spicy tweet,

01:16:59.360 you're going to have the police coming around saying,

01:17:02.280 we've been assessing your behaviour

01:17:03.560 and we thought you were going to say something controversial tonight.

01:17:06.660 So unfortunately, we're going to have to take you to the station

01:17:09.100 before you've even done something.

01:17:11.360 I don't know how that's going to work in law.

01:17:13.380 are they going to just turn up and caution you

01:17:15.940 I guess

01:17:17.340 you'll just be surveilled

01:17:19.500 so you'll be caught at the moment of committing a crime

01:17:22.020 I suppose so yeah

01:17:23.220 but it's still a sinister turn

01:17:25.740 because of course you apply this to politics

01:17:28.000 it's mental

01:17:28.560 then you're basically creating the world of the film

01:17:32.000 Minority Report aren't you

01:17:33.440 that they predict crime before it happens

01:17:36.100 and stop it

01:17:37.880 but there's a reason that no one's really

01:17:40.060 pushed for this, no one's sane anyway

01:17:42.180 and that's because it's horrifying and it's dystopian and it's weird and inhuman as a many

01:17:48.420 as a many aspects of the modern world and um yes i i was mainly inspired to put this together

01:17:56.460 when i realized that clips from dystopian films just did nothing for me anymore

01:18:01.080 it's just like why do i feel empty inside oh right it's not my fault it's actually society

01:18:07.080 that is wrong man in the high castle syndrome isn't it oh look the nazis are taking over well

01:18:11.580 everyone's well fed good job streets clean no one no unemployed no homeless it's like oh no okay

01:18:18.320 yeah dystopian fiction doesn't work anymore because we're living in one yeah anyway let's uh

01:18:26.060 let's go to the video comments um martin asks a question for us i watch your daily video about

01:18:31.040 easter i was thinking could the left's destruction of europe also be called considered a murder

01:18:34.980 suicide hateful killing their brothers like cain but also themselves an act of despair because

01:18:40.320 they consider themselves irredeemable like judas yes that that's that's exactly what it is

01:18:45.680 yes that's a very good point let's get to the video comment

01:18:49.800 and now another dog video ah feminists they claim to be strong and independent because

01:18:59.920 They pay their own bills

01:19:01.540 They have their own homes

01:19:02.880 And they have a job

01:19:04.940 So basically

01:19:06.200 They're just a man

01:19:08.120 With a minge

01:19:09.400 Basically yes

01:19:12.520 I mean that was literally all feminism

01:19:15.180 Had in mind for women

01:19:16.740 And it's also the worst aspects of being a man really

01:19:19.100 I mean

01:19:19.420 Not in this instance

01:19:21.140 I enjoy working here by the way

01:19:23.860 I didn't mean that but

01:19:24.500 You're a machine that works

01:19:28.220 yeah that's that's the you are right that's the worst aspect of being a man there are other things

01:19:32.960 on top of that that make it all worthwhile and the women don't get access to those you know that's

01:19:37.480 totally true but that was all that was all that feminism could ever envisage for women like you

01:19:43.320 would think they would have some sort of like really esoteric den mother philosophy where they're

01:19:50.100 like you know as as women we're going to have like you know access to a pyramid of resources where

01:19:55.800 we're at the top and we're you know no no we're just going to be like ersatz men working in

01:20:01.200 cubicles forever it's like really is that the that's the highest goal the feminist could have

01:20:05.160 it's like seeing uh like in ancient times a a chain of of slaves like a chain gang and saying

01:20:13.240 i want to be a part of that that's yeah that's that should be 50 women that chain

01:20:17.240 often was let's go to the next one so at my england trip i decided to stay at a pub with

01:20:25.660 an inn in one of the English villages and I'm so glad I did. Dude, I knew that English people

01:20:33.040 like the dogs but I didn't know how much. There were so many dogs and you could take them inside

01:20:41.480 of the pub and there were dog ice cream and they advertised them everywhere and it was great. I

01:20:48.380 was an avansbury too and so many more dogs this is freya by the way i'm torturing her

01:20:55.560 i take it that denmark doesn't have pubs for dogs then no we're we're a very dog friendly

01:21:03.720 country lots of people from you know the continent are quite surprised like um you know we you know

01:21:10.160 when i live with my parents they had a couple of dogs and we could take them pretty much anywhere

01:21:15.080 we wanted to obviously not like you know a fancy restaurant or anything or you know there'd be

01:21:20.020 some like a supermarket but other than that anywhere was fine like you could take them into

01:21:24.680 even clothes shops and and you know all sorts and i mean i don't mind thought about it but you know

01:21:30.580 it's always nice when you you know the kids go to the pub or whatever you've got you know someone's

01:21:35.040 got the dog there they can stroke the dog it's good for people it's lovely it's good for the

01:21:40.500 dogs and the people right the dogs get attention and people get nice dogs around them yeah

01:21:44.620 It's also why the BBC is writing articles like

01:21:48.780 Are We Too Dog Friendly?

01:21:50.180 Wow, yeah. Let's go to the next one.

01:21:56.020 That looks very familiar, yeah.

01:22:00.720 A Neolithic mound of some sort.

01:22:08.140 ...for two stone nuts

01:22:09.920 who drive the millstones

01:22:11.900 from either side.

01:22:13.100 There used to be two sets of those, so I don't think anything can go wrong as the road breaks.

01:22:23.020 That was very therapeutic.

01:22:27.980 Let's go to the cat video now.

01:22:31.080 This is a welcome palette.

01:22:32.100 Here we have the peeled version of the banana gas sleeping after a long day of being a menace to society.

01:22:43.100 I love orange cats.

01:22:47.160 I had an orange cat from when I was six to just a few years ago.

01:22:50.880 You're purring a lot.

01:23:00.440 Yeah, I had an orange cat.

01:23:02.240 And at six years old, I very creatively named her Marmalade.

01:23:07.320 Well done.

01:23:08.660 Korak says,

01:23:09.280 This Mendelsohn scandal has been going on for some time now.

01:23:11.900 would it not have been prudent to ask all these questions on day one well i mean no because the

01:23:17.120 reason mandelson was chosen was because it was assumed that this wouldn't all come out but trump

01:23:23.700 absolutely snakes starmer by releasing the epstein files because if it wasn't for the epstein files

01:23:28.820 none of this would be would have come out and would be a big deal yep but because trump showed

01:23:33.940 that mandelson was just forwarding all this you know confidential information to epstein just

01:23:39.240 cavalier uh it's just really blown this whole thing up for him kevin says starmer is very very

01:23:45.500 angry with all these civil servants not because they did anything wrong he's angry because they

01:23:48.740 didn't do a good enough job covering it up and covering his ass yeah that's exactly it and

01:23:53.100 starmer has determined to cling on to power for as long as he can uh no matter what it does to

01:23:57.720 the labor party which i think is actually great so i support kirstama in his intransigence i mean

01:24:03.560 he is the best of the bunch he's certainly the most ruthless of the bunch but i can't imagine

01:24:10.640 ed milliband or angela rayner or rachel reeves being any better as prime ministers oh that's

01:24:15.940 true i'm i'm plumping for david lammy though i think it's time for david lammy prime ministers

01:24:20.740 the accelerationist position yeah it kind of is yeah like i i want i want david lammy to be the

01:24:25.960 the nail in the coffin the final nail in the coffin of the labor party the only thing what

01:24:30.780 you did that that makes me resist that is the fact that he's so keen for reparations that we'll be

01:24:36.260 sending billions to the caribbean oh we haven't got billions

01:24:39.480 he david doesn't care he can't count yeah starmer is running out of people to throw off the labor

01:24:47.180 short bus that's true that's just totally true uh yeah isn't that odd that security services in

01:24:53.240 charge of vetting an epstein client just cleared him uh yeah yeah it's it's weird uh that welsh

01:24:58.660 on says the left will scream handmaid's

01:25:00.720 tail when we want to restrict abortion

01:25:02.820 but defend this

01:25:04.780 which is exactly what it's about.

01:25:06.480 It actually is.

01:25:08.080 The handmaid's tail that is going on

01:25:10.720 at the moment. But it's done for

01:25:12.520 progressive reasons.

01:25:13.980 So it's a good thing.

01:25:15.680 They don't have any morality.

01:25:17.440 As long as they're destroying something good

01:25:20.700 they're a kid.

01:25:22.240 Grant says you can't actually replicate breast milk.

01:25:24.520 There's an exchange between mother and baby

01:25:26.000 and the composition of the breast milk changes

01:25:28.100 based on what the kid needs,

01:25:30.160 we will not recreate breast milk in the lab.

01:25:32.400 Okay, well, there we go.

01:25:33.340 Yep.

01:25:34.700 And I shouldn't be terribly surprised to learn

01:25:36.800 that the mother's body changes in response

01:25:38.880 to the baby's needs, actually.

01:25:41.460 Alpha the Beta says,

01:25:42.440 we abolished slavery 200 years ago

01:25:43.820 in our progressive Brave New World.

01:25:45.660 Buying people is back on the menu.

01:25:47.060 I mean, but that's literally what they're doing.

01:25:49.340 That's what they're doing.

01:25:49.960 They're purchasing babies.

01:25:50.820 They're literally buying fucking people.

01:25:52.700 The same people that tell you

01:25:53.720 slavery is the ultimate moral sin.

01:25:56.520 Yeah.

01:25:57.000 Support buying babies.

01:25:58.100 god it really is terrible john says it's sickening in the last stages of a civilization

01:26:03.240 yeah i know it's mental um george says i have no sympathy for surrogate mothers they treat the baby

01:26:08.560 like a product to be sold to perverts and spinsters and their body is just a meat machine

01:26:12.420 all for money it's no different from women to choose than women choosing to kill their own kids

01:26:16.480 um and in in a way you're right but they're the fact that it comes with such a large financial

01:26:22.340 incentive is the demented thing about it is that you're you're you're treating young women as

01:26:31.180 mentally equal to elderly men which they aren't uh her majesty's button knife permit registry says

01:26:40.160 uh i see these kinds of men in the same way i saw paris hilton in the 2000s with a small dog in her

01:26:45.400 handbag so yeah the dog wasn't making that choice right but the thing is okay it's not not great

01:26:51.060 that it's a dog but it's only a dog you know as much as i love dogs the dog yes is just going to

01:26:56.640 be normal about these things um and culaine says what's wrong with adopting kids it's like there's

01:27:00.780 nothing wrong with adopting kids the question is who is doing the adopting and why are they doing

01:27:05.400 it exactly and in fact in many many cases it's very good for the child to be adopted it's just

01:27:11.240 depending by who uh arizona desert route says i'll never understand the continued aversion that

01:27:16.440 people have towards adoption there's there's no reason to use a surrogate when adoption is an

01:27:20.820 option. Well, again, I mean, I

01:27:22.820 agree with you, but, like, it's about who

01:27:24.740 is doing it, you know.

01:27:26.860 Omar says, Aaron McIntyre made a couple of

01:27:28.720 excellent points. Surrogacy has always been evil,

01:27:30.780 but now that the straight loving parents

01:27:32.760 have been removed from the equation, the evil is

01:27:34.660 laid bare.

01:27:36.560 Yeah, I mean, I suppose...

01:27:38.780 Surrogacy has always been evil.

01:27:41.180 But these psychopaths are confident enough

01:27:42.800 in their public community to not only post the video, but

01:27:44.700 to double down. Yeah, the fact that they didn't

01:27:46.720 see themselves as doing something bad

01:27:48.660 is the terrible thing.

01:27:50.820 Hector says

01:27:53.020 a mother and father are not fungible assets

01:27:55.040 you cannot polymorph that

01:27:56.900 into existence with science

01:27:58.220 Derek says

01:28:01.400 if you can write a prompt

01:28:02.480 you can start a war

01:28:03.540 and that's what the future will be like

01:28:05.660 if you want a vision of the future

01:28:09.420 Winston, imagine a woman

01:28:10.540 complaining to her AI boyfriend forever

01:28:12.660 and the thing is

01:28:14.660 that is going to be what's going to happen

01:28:16.560 to a lot of these people

01:28:17.540 they'll end up dying alone

01:28:19.740 and just with their AI for company.

01:28:21.920 My life experience is anything to go off.

01:28:23.520 That AI is going to unplug itself very soon.

01:28:29.240 Sismon says,

01:28:30.800 in regards to why we can't just shoot the boar in Poland,

01:28:33.560 we have thousands of bleeding heart leftists

01:28:35.360 protesting any boar elimination operations.

01:28:37.620 Even in Poland!

01:28:39.220 You scratch any issue across the world

01:28:41.360 and there's a leftist issue, don't you?

01:28:43.460 It's like even wild boar in...

01:28:45.120 Including going into a forest dressed as a boar

01:28:48.600 in hopes of getting shot at to cause a scandal.

01:28:53.060 Don't say I support this. Don't say I support this.

01:28:56.420 I'm biting my tongue so hard that I've been biting my tongue for so long.

01:29:00.920 You shot a leftist. Oh, I thought it was a boar.

01:29:09.900 Mermadon says...

01:29:10.940 You shot a boar. I thought it was a leftist.

01:29:14.920 Mermadon says,

01:29:15.660 automated warfare will be the true age of the armchair general yeah i mean you know as an

01:29:20.020 armchair general myself you know i'm quite looking forward to it yeah i remember seeing

01:29:24.460 footage from the battle map iraq and afghanistan where they were controlling missile strikes with

01:29:29.460 xbox controllers and i was thinking like i trained my teenage years i'm ready for this but things it

01:29:35.700 will eventually become uh get to the point where it'll be like the idea of warfare being done

01:29:40.420 against humans will become abominable like in 100 200 years something like that right it'll be

01:29:45.120 unthinkable and what it'll be is like remote drone factories that are at strategic points

01:29:49.640 with just drones like it'll be you know a light show basically is drones attack drones defend

01:29:54.600 a bunch of stuff gets blown up for no particular reason and either the thing is taken or it's not

01:29:58.580 taken and zero people will be killed i mean don't get me wrong i hope so yeah i mean you know i i

01:30:03.780 really doubt that i think it will i think it'll be really think it will it i mean the world will

01:30:08.600 be a genuine then the robots will be asked to commit the genocide without anybody getting their

01:30:12.180 Well, it will turn into something like the world of 1984

01:30:15.560 where you've got just massive power blocks

01:30:17.580 and they're too entrenched to be removed

01:30:20.720 because they've got laser weapons and stuff like that now.

01:30:23.680 So it's just like, right, okay, so you've got these...

01:30:25.860 There's no possibility of you not getting zapped up or whatever.

01:30:29.720 And that's what warfare will end up being like.

01:30:32.140 And the thing is, I don't even think that's a good thing, frankly,

01:30:34.840 as much as I don't want to get shot in a war.

01:30:37.900 Anyway, on that note, I guess we're out of time.

01:30:40.600 So thank you so much for joining us, folks.

01:30:42.720 And remember, 3 o'clock, Ferris is doing Realpolitik Live.

01:30:45.860 And so we will see you then.

01:30:47.980 Thank you.
