The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1492

00:00:00.020 Hello everyone, welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seaters. Today is Wednesday the 26th of August and we have a special Christopher Columbus episode.

00:00:09.120 It is 1492. Actually, we're not going to talk about Christopher Columbus, but I'm pleased to be joined by brother Bo and brother Nate.

00:00:18.220 And we are going to have...

00:00:19.620 That would have been good. I would have liked an hour and 20 talking about Christopher Columbus.

00:00:22.980 You're the history guy. Why didn't you know about it?

00:00:25.120 1492 south the ocean blue of course i know about it in fact i was the one that said it in the

00:00:30.160 office first this morning actually when i wasn't present oh oh well great minds then i lost a

00:00:34.960 schrodinger's christopher columbus i honestly genuinely would have liked to have done a special

00:00:39.180 podcast where it's just an hour and 20 talking about the columbus story why not oh it's too late

00:00:44.500 now i mean we could we could do something right today we are going to discuss the weakening of

00:00:50.900 the german firewall and how firewalls operate in europe the save europa act and france's national

00:00:58.300 rally so it is going to be a bit euro heavy but it's in a good way and i do think that we have

00:01:04.680 plenty of white pills to offer oh yeah loads so yeah if you're tired of black pills

00:01:10.740 we have white pills for you today right white pill wednesday bringing it back making it great

00:01:17.620 again yeah great should we start let's start right so the firewall in germany is the sort of cordon

00:01:27.860 sanitaire where all the parties team up together and say that they are going to prevent the afd

00:01:35.140 from getting positions in the state and the government of of the federal level and at this

00:01:44.580 moment, it doesn't seem to be working well. In fact, it seems to have massively backfired. And

00:01:51.620 one of the things that the firewall is problematic with is that, essentially, it's a call to

00:02:00.260 marginalize right-wing parties, or so-called far-right parties, which has outsourced to

00:02:09.300 left-wingers who counts as far right so whoever the whoever is deemed far right by the linker and

00:02:17.300 left-wingers is not uh someone who is within the pale someone is beyond the pale but before we say

00:02:24.420 more about this because this seems to be dying in germany we have islander number six the sixth

00:02:32.980 volume of our magazine 14.99 and it's selling fast the last day of sales is going to be this friday

00:02:42.500 the 28th of august so yeah purchase it and i'm i'm sure you're going to absolutely like it and

00:02:52.980 just bear in mind that previous issues are selling in uh high prices second hand so if you want you

00:03:00.900 you know, to have something that will gain value in the future,

00:03:04.960 perhaps it's the time to buy it.

00:03:06.960 Buy two, and then you can sell one and get your money back for both.

00:03:10.440 Absolutely. Great.

00:03:12.680 This is not trading advice.

00:03:14.340 Right. Okay.

00:03:14.900 So Germany has both state elections and also federal elections.

00:03:19.060 And now we're talking about state elections in Saxony-Anhalt.

00:03:23.880 They're upcoming.

00:03:25.060 They're going to take place on September 6th.

00:03:28.840 And it looks like the AFD has considerably favourable wind on its sails.

00:03:35.980 Is that across Germany?

00:03:37.880 Because I know historically they've done much better in East Germany, haven't they?

00:03:43.300 Yes.

00:03:44.260 Is this now across Germany?

00:03:47.360 That's for the state.

00:03:49.500 It's only for Saxony and Anhalt.

00:03:51.960 Okay.

00:03:52.480 And I want to show you some of the stats and some of the results of previous elections.

00:03:58.560 getting ahead of myself sorry i'll let you cook the previous state election in saxony anhalt was in

00:04:04.800 2021 and the afd didn't win they got 20.8 of the votes no they got they yeah and uh the cdu which

00:04:18.600 is the governing party right now in coalition with the social democrats before the previous

00:04:24.860 federal elections it was the same coalition governing just with olaf schultz who was a

00:04:31.100 social democrat right and cd like christian democrats yes christian democrats basically

00:04:36.940 soft lefties is that right well it's a big question what they are because on paper they

00:04:42.940 are supposed to be center right yeah but the presence of the firewall means that if they are

00:04:49.820 going to do something that is center-right and the afd says hey i find that a good idea and the

00:04:56.880 leftists call and say hey firewall this is beyond the pale they'll start acting like leftists okay

00:05:03.860 all right i know the deal yeah right so here in the last federal elections february 23rd of 2025

00:05:13.040 the afd did really well the sad cdu won they won 12 seats but the spd lost 86 seats and the greens

00:05:25.000 lost 39 33 seats and the afd gained 69 seats so they got a total of um no that's sorry that's a

00:05:35.960 different stats yeah they gained 69 seats which is considerable

00:05:40.220 right let's see what's happening now the latest polls for saxony and halt say that the afd

00:05:51.880 is projected to get 42.1 percent funny that isn't it almost double what they got before

00:05:59.980 funny that the slow creep eventually catches up to everyone yes and the cdu the christian

00:06:06.720 democratic union is projected to get 23 minus 14.1 percent relative to the 2021 state elections

00:06:17.940 that'll be probably i don't know but probably be a massive swing directly from

00:06:22.040 them to afd and more and more as far as afd are concerned but if that's accurate yes and even

00:06:29.560 more and it's really interesting to ask why this is happening and why this keeps happening because

00:06:35.480 there does seem to be a very uh upwards trajectory of the afd and here we see a massive failure of

00:06:45.560 the cdu so in five years they went from 37 to what looks like it's going to be 23 so it's a massive

00:06:55.080 it's a massive shift of course we'll have to see what the final results are going to be but it 0.71

00:07:01.960 looks like almost every poll suggests a very sweeping victory for the afd and a crushing

00:07:10.680 downward trajectory for the cdu and the question is how did it come to this given the fact that the

00:07:19.080 cdu won the previous elections and is now the government what happened how is it that

00:07:28.120 they won the previous elections and they are now completely unsatisfied with them

00:07:35.560 what are they doing wrong this is a poll here suggested from for yeah of course

00:07:42.440 is it they're not doing what the people want

00:07:45.480 drum roll drum roll drum roll maybe this is a wild wild theory they're continuing to allow

00:07:56.560 germany to be stolen from them well in plain sight by foreign people here there is a poll

00:08:05.400 from forza rtl asking people from various political parties in germany are you satisfied

00:08:12.940 with the work of federal chancellor friedrich mertz so far and his own people say yes only to

00:08:21.860 45 against him 54 they're not happy the afd says uh one percent they're happy 98 unhappy and also

00:08:33.500 the linker one percent happy 99 and happy well they think that the cdu isn't going left enough

00:08:41.080 isn't going hard enough to the left right isn't that funny isn't that telling about the

00:08:46.560 polarization yeah politics across europe perhaps across the world to some degree

00:08:51.440 this is uh this happened many times in history isn't it history doesn't repeat but it often

00:08:57.940 rhymes that there's just that there's no one's interested in the center particularly all that

00:09:02.440 much anymore yeah it's either you want your country back you're an actual patriot a nativist 0.99

00:09:07.080 whatever or you're a crazy you're a crazy socialist or champagne socialist to the bitter 0.98

00:09:12.820 bitter end one or the other yeah i think that one of the main problems is that most people don't 0.96

00:09:18.920 understand where we are in 2026 and what has happened because when especially when it comes

00:09:25.920 to the older generations they really have the cold war mindset where the individualist west

00:09:31.360 won the collectivist east and they think that the market is going to solve all the problems

00:09:37.220 nations are going to dissolve and everything's going to work perfectly if multiculturalism

00:09:44.300 is pursued hard enough but this very mistaken view has led to the situation of 2026 europe

00:09:52.720 where there are massive changes changes that europeans before who do have admittedly a history

00:09:58.800 of having grievances with one another, would see the opportunity to unite against a common

00:10:07.420 problem, against common problems, and start thinking, well, hey, perhaps we have a bit

00:10:14.080 more in common than we thought we had.

00:10:16.660 Right.

00:10:17.340 So here we have a post by Alice Weidel.

00:10:21.080 According to a recent Forza survey, the AFD is at 43% across the entire East, while the

00:10:27.020 CDU is down to just 13%. She is obviously a political actor who does have vested interests

00:10:33.960 in presenting the CDU as being crushed. Perhaps it's not going to be 13%. Perhaps it's going to

00:10:41.900 be more. But generally speaking, it looks like the CDU has won the federal elections less than

00:10:51.720 one and a half years ago or about one and a half years ago and now people are completely unhappy

00:10:57.940 with them and not just the federal elections because you could say well they won the federal

00:11:02.580 elections and they they saxony isn't particularly pro cdu but they also won the previous state

00:11:10.200 elections so something there is happening uh wrong something happens really mistakenly there

00:11:17.480 something is atrocious. And lots of people think that Alice Weidel and the AFD is expressing what

00:11:24.760 went wrong really well. And here she says, mass migration, exploding crime, high taxes,

00:11:32.320 silence, dissent. The regime wants to ban the strongest opposition party, us, the AFD. This

00:11:38.880 is grotesque. This is authoritarian, but they will not prevail. So let me just put this out

00:11:45.060 in the open the federal crime statistics the crime statistics published by the federal police of

00:11:55.160 germany suggest one of the trends that we see across europe that several communities

00:12:02.560 particularly particularly from the minat region middle east north africa turkey are over represented

00:12:09.460 in violent crime, often of a sexual nature, and occasionally of a fatal nature.

00:12:17.080 They're overrepresented there. 0.82

00:12:19.340 So the average German, presumably if they're sane people, will look at this and they say,

00:12:26.900 no, this isn't working, we have to criticize this. 0.95

00:12:30.220 But they are only allowed to criticize crime in a very interesting context.

00:12:39.680 In the context...

00:12:40.280 It's abstract, isn't it, almost, really?

00:12:42.220 Yeah, an abstract context whose conclusion must always be,

00:12:46.720 well, they haven't integrated enough.

00:12:48.940 Well, yeah, how do you expect them to integrate

00:12:52.040 if you tell them to be multicultural and keep their culture,

00:12:55.820 which means do not assimilate and therefore do not integrate?

00:13:00.220 and you have to pay the bill yeah you have to pay the bill you have to pay the social benefits

00:13:05.000 so her message is resonating i mean how many christmas markets need a car of peace to run

00:13:12.760 down a bunch of women and kids how many times yes and that that's absolutely grotesque and it

00:13:20.080 shouldn't be allowed there are you know one is one too many but what is even more demoralizing

00:13:25.800 and that's contributing to a significant extent to the loss of popularity of the CDU isn't the

00:13:34.320 presence of crime, which you can say that crime exists everywhere. It's the response to it. And

00:13:41.160 the response to it seems to be, well, sorry for the victims, but the criminals have human rights

00:13:47.620 and we shouldn't do much about them because human rights and ECHR. We will talk about

00:13:55.180 the ACHR towards the end of this segment. So Alice Weidel said that the CDU's refusal to work

00:14:01.760 with the AFD, a policy known in Germany as the firewall, was weakening the conservatives and

00:14:07.640 would eventually put her party in a position to govern nationally. The CDU will never win another

00:14:13.720 federal election, she said. The AFD has long argued that the firewall was undemocratic,

00:14:19.660 while the CDU says the policy is necessary

00:14:22.220 because the AFD poses a threat

00:14:24.660 to Germany's fundamental principles

00:14:26.800 and its constitutional order.

00:14:28.480 I hate that.

00:14:29.540 The absolute, like, double think, double speak there.

00:14:33.320 I mean, what are you doing?

00:14:35.860 What are you actually doing?

00:14:37.220 Constitutional order, fundamental principles.

00:14:39.300 So what is it?

00:14:40.140 What is Germany's fundamental principles 0.99

00:14:42.320 are to allow your citizenry to be raped and murdered? 0.98

00:14:45.760 Like, really? 1.00

00:14:46.320 Is that what it is?

00:14:47.080 Is it really?

00:14:47.880 well i was how absolutely absurd with grotesque vile creatures that they are funny i was going 0.94

00:14:54.600 to say exactly double speak double talk that the afd that's they're the threat to germany are they 0.81

00:15:01.400 they're the threat the only party it looks like they actually want to do something

00:15:05.800 to combat a real threat they're the threat are they could it be more 1984 really i mean

00:15:11.880 i mean hopefully a lot of these regimes they're coming to an end soon though in the next few

00:15:19.600 years hopefully i mean if i have to win right if i have to win they can at least change the game a

00:15:26.060 bit they can at least move the the frame the framing of these things a fair bit if they get

00:15:32.000 into power at the very least here are some quotes by alice weidel she says essentially that afghans

00:15:38.160 will no longer be flown in nice and the syrians will all be returned to their homeland nice um

00:15:44.480 also lost uh yesterday we heard from marco rubio and the u.s uh department of state that syria is

00:15:52.160 not listed as a country sponsor of terrorism i saw that yeah that was weird though yeah

00:15:59.680 but if that's the case and syria now has been normalized does the argument according to which

00:16:08.160 People can't be returned to Syria.

00:16:11.280 Work well. 1.00

00:16:13.280 I don't know.

00:16:15.120 Again, Alice Weidel says here that Germany is finished with immigrants,

00:16:19.140 and she says that within 100 days, she will close borders,

00:16:22.820 eliminate subsidies for migrants,

00:16:24.400 and carry Germany's largest deportation program. 0.99

00:16:28.900 Nice, good.

00:16:30.460 Minimum.

00:16:31.860 Okay, so...

00:16:33.080 Just want them to actually do it, though.

00:16:35.740 Right.

00:16:36.260 we have the opposite stance by frank walter steinmayer who is the german president

00:16:46.320 oh god they're telling the same globalist nonsense sorry i'm getting ahead i'm reading it

00:16:51.260 no no please please they still have sorry they still have a president and a chancellor right

00:16:55.960 yes germany's long been a society shaped by immigration has it has it has it really

00:17:03.680 come on right so he says they think they're kidding who do they think they're talking to

00:17:10.860 you know so he says germany has long been a society shaped by migration at the latest since

00:17:17.180 the recruitment agreements of the late 1950s and 1960s with the southern european countries

00:17:22.900 all right with turkey that has been the case oh well there you go then sorry case closed 1950s

00:17:28.400 there was some immigration we must have infinity migrants and not have germany

00:17:32.020 that's it but he says it isn't just 50s and 60s he says germany needs more but and he says we need

00:17:40.180 immigration as a country we need it if we want to function that applies to hospitals and nursing

00:17:45.500 homes and care facilities by now it also applies to very large parts of the private economy just 0.98

00:17:51.980 you're importing people to facilitate the people that you previously imported just stop get rid

00:17:56.680 them all you'll have a functional society but also how can you have a functional society when 1.00

00:18:03.320 you are confronted with the harsh reality of migrants from particular communities being

00:18:12.080 overrepresented in crime according to the statistics published by your federal police

00:18:19.300 what's and and you just do nothing and you just don't think that this on its own

00:18:25.100 merits a revisiting of the terms of coexistence among people why does this at least not merit

00:18:34.340 a discussion about multiculturalism without the screeching that everyone who criticizes

00:18:41.920 multiculturalism is beyond the pale and therefore the firewall has to be activated against them

00:18:47.740 um i mean that that that's sorry go go back to that previous one where he says 1.00

00:18:53.760 um no one has to deny their origins and yes a person can have several homelands can they

00:18:59.780 can they uh some people can have two according to them but some others don't need one

00:19:05.480 particularly the europeans they don't need to have a country you know you're not allowed sorry

00:19:10.600 yeah over that you don't need you're not allowed yes there's such old hat it feels like

00:19:16.280 it feels like it's 2015 yeah stuff yeah uh and they're still just parroting the same old thing

00:19:24.560 so i actually think that sprung to mind with like germany always needs migration it's always had

00:19:29.100 migration stuff if you go back i think you're aware like tacitus is germania yeah talking well

00:19:36.540 i'm talking about like the first century second century ad nonetheless the whole the whole thing

00:19:42.900 about germany was it's sort of all toxins it's from there it's it's originally from there and

00:19:48.580 the definition of it is that it's not from anywhere else that there's no migrants from anywhere else

00:19:55.540 that is like the most german thing like the most fundamental german thing

00:20:00.020 you can't get more german than that right but also there is the question of what they want to do with

00:20:08.660 migration and the afd has not hasn't said to my knowledge only germans will allow to remain in

00:20:15.620 germany they are repeatedly saying that that they have to do something about those who are over

00:20:22.340 represented in crime and especially they don't focus on europeans they focus a lot on non-europeans

00:20:28.980 especially the non-Europeans who are explicitly hating Europe.

00:20:36.800 Here, Alice Weidel is saying that she will try to leave the European Union

00:20:42.600 and that she is going to send back illegal immigrants and increase border security.

00:20:48.520 Right, so this is a thorny issue.

00:20:53.020 I don't know if she will be able to do this.

00:20:55.680 if france or germany left the eu that that project is as just had a bolt gun through its head

00:21:03.700 it doesn't it's it would be at best a rump if either france or germany left it yeah the european

00:21:10.760 project now is france and germany so if either of them were to just back out of it and renege on

00:21:17.180 everything then they're the main engines of it i've cooked by a long long long long way it would

00:21:22.800 be incredible i'd love to see that i would love to see germany leave the eu i have oh it would

00:21:29.080 set off that would be so sweet would you like them to just leave the eu to the french yeah it's like

00:21:35.180 it's gonna be a french rump of a thing okay you can get all the other european unions to pay for

00:21:39.540 your agriculture to subsidize your agriculture it's what it's all about anyway wasn't it

00:21:43.220 subsidizing french agriculture it was all about anyway it would just set off a chain reaction

00:21:48.280 anyway it would right so i want to say that um i'm a bit skeptical of this not saying that i'm

00:21:55.320 pro or against because i think that fundamentally the eu could work as a bulwark against enemies of

00:22:03.360 europe who want to divide and conquer europe but sadly it looks like right now it functions as

00:22:11.200 the main tool of people who want to wage sort of divide and conquer approach towards europe and i

00:22:18.040 want to show you precisely what I mean here by focusing on Ursula von der Leyen, the president

00:22:24.780 of the European Council or European Commission. Yes, what she said during the invasion of

00:22:33.440 Ceuta. She says, during that day, the images coming from Ceuta are unacceptable. We cannot

00:22:40.400 allow anyone to come to our union without abiding by our rules. And she continues saying

00:22:45.780 several things. So on the one hand, it is precisely the EU rules that are causing the problem in the

00:22:54.460 first place. And also that's not only in the EU, that's also in the UK. If you go on the

00:23:01.020 frequently asked questions page of GovUK, you will see that what they're saying is that if someone

00:23:09.120 come arrives on the uk and they claim asylum they automatically have the right to stay in the uk

00:23:16.280 so uh to the until the application is examined and even if it fails they can't be deported unless

00:23:26.660 the country of origin accepts them back so someone can come here claim asylum and the asylum

00:23:34.700 is denied that gets to stay because the country of origin doesn't accept them back so yeah to a

00:23:43.340 very to various to a great extent it is precisely our rules that are being taken advantage of but

00:23:49.940 i want to show you one thing here when it comes to the echr because it seems to me that when it

00:23:56.680 comes to it, the people entrusted with the authority to adjudicate according to it are the

00:24:05.040 problem. It's not so much the ECHR, because I want to read this clause here, because this is

00:24:11.520 Article 8, Right to Respect for Private and Family Life. This is the article of the ECHR that is

00:24:17.520 routinely appealed to when it comes to failures to deport people. Like, you know, someone doesn't

00:24:23.540 like your son doesn't like chicken nuggets okay we're not in your country of origin we're not 0.93

00:24:28.920 going to deport you um you expressed support for gay people but in your country of origin they 0.93

00:24:36.240 don't like gay people we're not going to deport you as if this shouldn't be an a counter incentive 0.96

00:24:41.800 to not commit a crime in the first place which would merit a response to the to like it's your 0.98

00:24:49.000 problem you shouldn't have committed a crime let me read it says right to respect for private and

00:24:54.760 family life everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life his home and

00:24:59.160 his correspondence clause number two there shall be no interference with the public authority with

00:25:04.600 the exercise of this right except which means that there are some conditions it's not unconditional

00:25:11.080 such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the

00:25:17.240 interests of national security, public safety, or the economic well-being of the country

00:25:23.360 for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for

00:25:27.960 the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

00:25:31.780 That doesn't seem nonsensible.

00:25:34.240 And to be fair, all of the parties that are routinely called far-right by establishmentarians

00:25:42.680 don't seem to me to violate this they in fact seem to me to appeal to this so what what's

00:25:49.320 what's going on here it's just because an activist judges decide to interpret it yeah in a certain

00:25:56.040 way absolutely because you could you could interpret that a number of ways it's not just

00:26:01.880 a black and white thing is it yeah that's you can interpret it to the benefit of a foreigner

00:26:08.040 or a european they are consistently always interpreting it to benefit foreigners but here

00:26:14.760 i think that's it that's it in in action here it's explicit though that it isn't about the

00:26:20.840 individual foreigner it's about the interest of national security public safety or the economic

00:26:26.600 well-being of the country for the prevention of disorder or crime for the protection of health or

00:26:32.120 morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others so it looks like uh the far

00:26:38.120 right so-called is routinely appealing to clause number two of article eight of the echr so it's

00:26:46.600 exactly what bo said it's the people it's the activist judges which marries the question why

00:26:52.200 does such a small minority have such a disproportionate amount of power right these

00:26:59.000 people and the philosophy of these people is going to inform the firewall, not just

00:27:05.420 in Germany, but in every country. Because if people who routinely appeal in the rhetoric

00:27:14.380 to the clause 2 of Article 8 of the ECHR are deemed as beyond the pale, something going

00:27:24.580 on there. Perhaps it's the radical leftists, or, you know, communists, socialists, call

00:27:31.540 them however you like, are in bed with those who call themselves center-right. They put

00:27:38.520 the firewall as their philosophy, and they're saying we're going to keep the far-right away,

00:27:46.000 but we are going to define who the far-right is. And let's be honest, the far-right is

00:27:50.460 nonsensical term I don't think for instance I'd call Hitler far-right I'd

00:27:56.460 call him a Nazi I think that if I called Hitler a far-right it would be a bit

00:28:01.560 weird it would be some sort of like I wouldn't represent what he's what he

00:28:08.460 claimed to represent and it wouldn't be it's just a different kind of thing the

00:28:15.660 term far-right people argue that the National Socialism more socialist than

00:28:19.700 nationalist i don't make that argument but people do yeah there's all sorts of socialist elements

00:28:23.380 to them yeah it's just a it just doesn't seem to be to to highlight the danger let's say so

00:28:33.140 when it comes to this that the left at some point was completely uh liberal with the use of the term

00:28:39.780 fascism everyone was deemed a fascist and some point people got bored with it and then they

00:28:46.420 invented the term far right and they started using the term far right and no one asks them

00:28:51.780 what it is it's the position of barack obama 20 years ago that well you can't have an open border

00:28:58.660 and if the problem with the firewall is not so much that there are some people that you obviously

00:29:07.300 don't want to be close to government and the state but you shouldn't allow extremists of the left

00:29:14.500 who you presumably don't want to occupy state positions and positions of power to define

00:29:21.460 who is going to be the beyond the pale and if your whole philosophy is a cucked one i.e 0.82

00:29:29.940 you your goal in politics is to just gain the acceptance of lunatic far leftists well then 0.99

00:29:38.020 you're essentially their useful idiot at best so the firewall isn't working in germany 0.99

00:29:45.380 it's soon going to be totally destroyed because people from the afd are going to get access to 0.99

00:29:52.660 power on the state level so the firewall is not working and people on the center right should

00:30:00.420 start asking themselves why would they want to give an inch to radical leftists who are going

00:30:07.060 to take a mile are the people of germany voting harder than they voted before and they have they

00:30:15.940 voted harder if anything oh so it is possible to change something at the ballot box oh so

00:30:26.100 no if they win oh if they win yeah if they win the state elections they will uh they will get

00:30:34.180 gain access to political power on the state level okay i know you're you're you're you and elite

00:30:41.860 theorists have uh debate who what what okay they never heard of them right let's talk about one

00:30:49.380 tall order says what if we just built a trebuchet capable of launching every okay trebuchet jokes

00:30:58.580 in cabochet jokes right thanks tom tomrat 247 why basic logic on youtube has a video that

00:31:06.500 explained why european elites fear an ascendant european consciousness that explains this

00:31:12.580 too long didn't read they're uniquely vulnerable to power transfer to a new elite let's scroll down a

00:31:18.420 bit

00:31:23.300 okay let me do a quick fed check fed post check got to with the um okay

00:31:34.980 okay um was it too spicy yeah that's a random name was in poland they stay

00:31:41.140 it says cdu is essentially like our tories they are within quotation marks center right

00:31:47.780 conservative and christian on paper but really they're just parroting what the left were saying

00:31:52.300 yesterday leftism going the speed limit it's like they're trying to prove to them that they're more

00:31:56.680 left wing than the left wing is more progressive there yeah that's a lot uh let's uh start with

00:32:03.400 the second segment samson maybe yeah samson cheers macy all right well reconquista

00:32:10.980 my uh my spanish brothers uh on the on the european continent um we're gonna be looking

00:32:21.620 at the save europe act today the latest developments uh that have occurred what has

00:32:27.820 been happening and if you want to also have a look at some other things 14.99 plus postage

00:32:34.300 packaging by the islander there you go um it's good so excellent in my blue steel bow steel

00:32:44.800 bow steel right okay good uh so anyway yeah right let's get an update on these you've derailed my

00:32:52.160 segment sorry it's serious stuff so let's get an update on the save euro pact so just as a quick

00:32:58.180 introduction if people are not aware of what the save euro pact is i think it's really important

00:33:02.840 just to just do a quick overview how i describe it is a supra-political entity that will sit above

00:33:11.960 all political movements all democratic parties shaping and pushing the discourse enabling

00:33:20.240 cowardly politicians of which all of them are the space to breathe and stand with their chest proud 0.50

00:33:28.880 and stand on policy platforms for remigration okay so if you didn't see a benefit to the 0.86

00:33:37.600 save europe act hopefully that will encourage you to see some benefit and explain why this is

00:33:44.020 a thing super political entities essentially a well it is a right-wing ngo something which

00:33:51.400 people have suggested we need and we have been in vital need of for some time well now we have one

00:33:56.700 so it's picking up steam and i would encourage you to go and sign it genuinely do go and sign

00:34:04.140 it if you're in britain specifically please do sign it and i will be in touch with you shortly

00:34:11.140 if you do sign it is it a bit more on that like you said it's like a mechanism then

00:34:16.240 to try and use legit totally legitimate uh avenues to get the european union

00:34:25.080 to reverse itself on the suicidal migration policies yeah not even necessarily just

00:34:32.020 the european union so view it even above that because if the european union falls

00:34:39.360 right as we've just discussed in stelios might happen right yeah in in stelios's segment

00:34:46.060 view it still as a unified force upon the continent the entirety of our european brothers

00:34:53.740 and sisters uh showing their respective nations that well you know whether it's the eu or not

00:35:01.800 this is what we want right this it needs to become an undeniable force democratically as it were

00:35:09.100 so yeah even view it above the eu in that regard right you know it it needs to sit above everything

00:35:16.700 we need to take it to every single nation every single nation needs to be pushing this and moving 0.99

00:35:22.480 it along and and it allows and sort of gives that space for the likes of the afd to become

00:35:29.760 much more i don't know much much firmer on their stance it allows marine le pen to become much

00:35:36.500 further much firmer sorry on on her stance because all politicians are cowards right all politicians

00:35:43.080 are cowards broadly speaking it's a game of popularity it's well how can i be like and so

00:35:49.960 that's why we find center why most politicians find the center so appealing because they're

00:35:54.940 trying to be liked by everyone but if we can show all politicians that actually no no this this this

00:36:01.320 is what we want right then their sort of cowardly sort of veneer hopefully falls down

00:36:07.960 and they can stand on mandates for remigration which will fundamentally shape and change the 0.84

00:36:15.640 course of history that we have been undemocratically forced into so what were the

00:36:23.000 latest well this uh chap here tony this is reconquista espanya uh tony is the national

00:36:31.840 organizer tony estevez uh nice chap spoken to him uh personally very very nice guy uh he is the

00:36:38.880 national organizer for spain we'll just sort of play a little bit of this i just i want you to

00:36:44.100 see his demeanor i'm building up to what has occurred

00:36:47.120 I just stopped there. I just wanted to introduce Tony's demeanor because there has been some

00:37:05.660 there's been some developments and the media, the dirty smear merchants have tried to reframe

00:37:13.400 this individual's demeanor and the whole movement as well so it's important to sort of introduce

00:37:18.800 that but nice calm collected firm you know these two uh institutions are uh the the sort of the

00:37:27.140 cause of the destruction uh of you know barcelona uh catalonia i think he said there as well um

00:37:33.680 and so we'll progress a little bit through here and you can kind of see what they were doing

00:37:38.060 they're sort of uh elements of sort of activism um and it's just small little things small little

00:37:43.500 things that the save europe act and the people involved in it have been doing come with us to

00:37:48.440 put up 10 stickers around barcelona i guess that's legal in spain i think we can do it here it's not

00:37:58.400 going to get sam elliott

00:37:59.440 i'm gonna stop that there because there's some copyright music but i actually do think those

00:38:06.800 send them back are perfectly legitimate and legal here because they are nondescript oh is that the

00:38:12.080 definition i don't know the minutia well they're relatively nondescript aren't they send them back

00:38:15.800 who okay all right it's not you see what i mean actively racialized no no exactly so it would be

00:38:24.160 difficult to uh sufficiently abstract exactly exactly so what i would also encourage you guys

00:38:29.720 to do which i i will sort of encourage you guys at the end as well um go and buy these you can go

00:38:35.100 and buy these you you can go grab these stickers uh and i mean look into it in your respective

00:38:41.280 countries whether it's legal i think they're legal here don't quote me on that uh but go go start

00:38:46.340 putting them around i was just saying didn't sam melee get in trouble for um there was they called

00:38:51.540 it like uh uh i can't remember exactly what they called it but it was like uh public i don't know

00:39:00.380 public damage or something i don't know but i mean criminal damage i think these i think these are

00:39:05.220 nondescript enough where you can i mean if you can put up palestine posters and things like that i

00:39:09.740 think you can put up a thing with an airplane that just says send them back i mean it could

00:39:13.420 be talking about um i don't know grain or something like that who knows squirrels yeah it could be

00:39:20.640 about squirrels who knows but genuinely go go grab these things put them up around your respective

00:39:24.900 cities it's a nice small way to push back and this is the movement this is what they've been doing

00:39:30.920 and then we have some images of the recent demonstration that occurred and this is of

00:39:38.220 course tony the national organizer and lucy white who is the national speaker for britain for the

00:39:45.300 save europe act and you can see how nice and jovial and and like how friendly it is you know

00:39:49.920 these are just people having a relatively good time it's not not offensive it's not grotesque

00:39:55.140 it's not vile it's not combative everyone's just having a reasonably okay time aren't they

00:40:00.980 presumably yes yeah well you can see it's not bad it's not come on come with me on this gym

00:40:07.660 yeah they need to agree with me all right come on they need the euro max a bit more well yeah

00:40:13.460 well i think tony tony's in the shorts he's he's relatively euro maxing i mean he's got the shorts

00:40:20.880 on um but it's about getting out there getting the movement um and progressing you can see the big

00:40:26.920 uh banner that they had there uh but this is how the media began to frame it

00:40:32.180 now tony uh up until this point had been uh engaging in nice discourse all things moving

00:40:39.880 just relatively, as they would do,

00:40:42.620 as you and I having a good conversation.

00:40:44.780 But of course, this is what they chose to publicize.

00:41:04.640 Love it.

00:41:06.000 Love it.

00:41:06.840 And he smacked the microphone as well.

00:41:08.760 good lad tony good lad and you see uh mala's language the tv says a far-right activist

00:41:16.560 attacks tve from the failure of the xenophobic rally in barcelona you have caused the invasion

00:41:23.200 of our country the incongruency of saying this the sort of contradiction the hypocrisy of

00:41:27.820 suggesting this was what is going on in spain at the moment i mean that i mean are you for real

00:41:33.100 That's not controversial. That is not controversial. And in fact, this seems to me to be the majority Spanish and European position. And if it weren't the majority position, then Sanchez wouldn't play, wouldn't try to appear as if he's doing something during the first day.

00:41:51.980 yeah well yeah i mean but that whole um i keep mispronouncing it shooter

00:41:56.120 shooter is that right i think they got a spanish called filter or something yeah i thought it's

00:42:02.560 suitor all right suitor we'll say suitor um that is unbelievable the reports that keep coming out

00:42:08.820 uh from from suitor are is it is tragic it's it's a it's an untold tragedy now that

00:42:16.000 it should never have occurred should never have occurred it is a a a failure

00:42:22.480 the scenes were that were really demoralizing in a way because you saw a complete collapse

00:42:29.940 of border security and it was like a zombie apocalypse it was like world war zed pure chaos

00:42:35.360 absolutely that that's that is the kind of civilizational collapse that you're watching

00:42:40.120 in real time yeah that is coming to europe right all that was was civilizational collapse without

00:42:47.040 the lag effect that's all it was make no mistake but what you're what you see in your respective

00:42:53.040 european countries is what came to suitor just far quicker right you know the slow steady ramp

00:43:01.760 up of crime the inability to just even leave your door unlocked right in britain for instance we

00:43:07.560 used to just be able to leave our doors unlocked and go around and it was fine it was safe

00:43:11.000 relatively yeah we had some criminals here and there but broad broadly we had community structure

00:43:17.500 low crime rates so all everyone saw in suitor was just the complete degradation and civilizational

00:43:24.580 collapse without a lag that was it and that's i think why it was so alarming to people not least

00:43:30.400 of course because it did genuinely look like something from world war z but um massive kudos

00:43:36.200 to uh to tony here and it went viral this is all over the news spanish news are reporting on it

00:43:42.680 so it's it's a huge deal this uh this occurrence with the save europe act and you can see their

00:43:47.540 statement here our patience has a limit and you have crossed it you are accomplices in the

00:43:52.500 destruction of the existence and idiosyncrasy of our nation we will be in suta algebra serious

00:44:00.820 barcelona and any place in our land where our people need us all honor to those who fight

00:44:06.420 tony spain europe are worth it yeah kudos massive massive kudos um and so i just thought i would

00:44:14.580 show you a little bit more again so kind of how they framed it with that one brief interaction

00:44:21.860 uh and again just how they were going about their business

00:44:30.820 and so they called it a total failure a total failure was a far-right failure the media claimed

00:44:50.820 well it doesn't look like a failure to me that looks like a really really good show

00:44:58.820 actually to be honest that looks brilliant if it were a failure would they be writing about it

00:45:03.500 would they even have been there yeah they've heard about it if it's a true failure why why are they

00:45:09.020 chasing a failure why are why do they feel they have what did they even interview yeah why do

00:45:13.520 they feel they have to write articles about a failure or count a signal a failure or what is

00:45:20.880 this journalism well yeah well yeah no exactly exactly so this this is um the shield tour so

00:45:29.220 basically what's happening across europe with the save europe act is uh we're going uh country to

00:45:36.600 country nation to nation um key cities key locations uh and using it almost as a form of

00:45:43.580 like a like a sort of an action day uh you know sort of gathering people like-minded individuals

00:45:50.200 all with the same expressed desire

00:45:52.860 and sort of just showing people

00:45:55.420 that there is support for this, you know?

00:45:59.740 And it's a really, really great,

00:46:02.520 powerful sort of symbolism here, right?

00:46:07.080 To just unveil this and show, yeah,

00:46:09.240 re-migration saves Europe. 0.84

00:46:10.300 I mean, it does literally save Europe, 1.00

00:46:11.520 quite frankly, it will save Europe.

00:46:13.760 But it's a nice, peaceful way

00:46:15.880 to unify everyone, I think.

00:46:18.960 and sort of be you know be beyond their uh smear merchant tactics right because they couldn't really

00:46:25.940 get him on anything else they couldn't get him on out of the entire interaction that they had with

00:46:29.940 tony the only clip that they showed was that final one at the end all of about 15 seconds

00:46:36.840 and there's a whole day there's a whole day where they're speaking where lucy is speaking he's

00:46:41.220 speaking they're on megaphones couldn't get him on anything else i think that one little thing

00:46:45.900 that's what they got them on their very reaction from the mainstream media is precisely a victory

00:46:51.860 for for save europa act massively and this is going to continue because so just to interrupt

00:47:00.220 ever so slightly just to let everyone know um set your dates get ready because the shield tour so

00:47:07.340 this and like-minded individuals uh will be next in in madrid uh the plaza della

00:47:14.740 armeria i'm english all right so excuse my pronunciations um and that's on the

00:47:25.500 well yeah check it out go there madrid next then italy then slovenia um all the dates we can

00:47:36.000 actually go to the um the save europe act and you'll find the dates the times the locations etc

00:47:41.240 and your respect and your respective uh national organizers as well uh so it's really important to

00:47:46.960 kind of get involved there i'm sorry you were you were saying no no i'm all right okay just listening

00:47:52.580 to what you're saying yeah but definitely get involved like 100 definitely get involved i know

00:47:58.000 europe and britain will sort of slow down over summer things sort of become a bit more holiday

00:48:02.900 a bit more jovial although actually in in britain things have wrapped up more politically in in

00:48:07.860 summers it seems um well summer doesn't last unfortunately i do feel i must admit i do feel

00:48:13.700 quite sorry for spain and spaniards patriotic nationalist nativist spaniards because if you

00:48:20.740 look at if we look at the general sweep towards the right across the anglosphere some places are

00:48:28.980 further along than others right like denmark's further along holland is a bit further along

00:48:34.580 hopefully looks like germany and even france will be further along britain's lagging behind

00:48:38.580 yep we've still got a bloody burn the spaniards really lagging behind they've got a full-blown

00:48:44.900 full-blown socialist dude haven't they i feel really sorry for all the spanish nationalists

00:48:51.300 yeah all the proud spanish patriots they've got to put up with that

00:48:55.300 yeah yeah no i know i sorry here is the actual um shield tour so this is on the this is on the

00:49:03.140 save europe act um x account twitter account please do go check it out please go to the respective

00:49:11.540 uh demonstration you know show people that there is a unified one european voice all asking for

00:49:20.100 change demanding change it's really important and yeah you're right um i do feel i do feel sorry for

00:49:27.140 spain but i will say so i spoke to tony um i spoke to him this morning in fact actually in preparation

00:49:32.740 for this and the feeling on the ground has been brilliant it's been brilliant from actual spaniards

00:49:41.860 from actual spaniards so this is i'm reiterating from tony here obviously second hand so you know

00:49:47.780 know take take take from it what it is um but you know he went into a pub recently you know a bar

00:49:54.520 people recognized and people are recognizing him for the movement that he is leading what you know

00:50:01.140 the save europe is is representing and there were so many people applauding him patting him on the

00:50:05.920 back and and that's fantastic how amazing is that absolutely brilliant when it's real when it's real

00:50:12.800 people boots on the ground irl in real life and people are championing uh championing you because

00:50:19.200 the the the media their smear tactics are backfiring they are backfiring on such a biblical

00:50:26.220 level that this thing what we're trying to do here with the save europe act becomes undeniable

00:50:32.020 it becomes inevitable remigration will be inevitable it must happen it will happen

00:50:38.140 the thing is that if if the eu carries on pushing the policies it does it sort of creates 0.52

00:50:48.380 a yugoslavia 2.0 yeah and there's absolutely no reason why anyone in the right mind would want

00:50:55.180 that exactly i mean it's yes and i i can understand i can understand why some countries

00:51:02.640 are a bit further ahead and others are lagging back because when we are talking about multicultural

00:51:07.940 There is always a distinct number of multicultural experiments.

00:51:12.620 And we can't talk, for instance, about the same population mix when it comes to the UK, to Romania, and when it comes to Spain, Portugal. 0.98

00:51:21.620 It's always a bit different.

00:51:23.500 And I have heard Spaniards who were telling me up until recently that, well, our mix is a bit more Latin American.

00:51:32.940 it's it's there are more cultural continuities than the cultural continuities you have in other

00:51:40.080 areas but recently they've changed their tune yeah i wonder why especially with sanchez saying

00:51:46.800 hey i want to regular regularize half a million which ended up being way way more wasn't it in

00:51:54.560 the end yes and at the end of the day at the end of the day that's the thing is it's also

00:51:59.040 profoundly undemocratic because how can you be pro-democracy and constantly saying our democracy

00:52:06.100 while you're attacking and dissolving the demos yeah yeah yeah and allowing anyone to to partake

00:52:12.220 in the franchise as well to to artificially gerrymander a situation like yeah you you are

00:52:17.540 causing the destruction of your nation and you mentioned hugo sliver that's the thing i say all

00:52:21.760 the time that it it has to be inevitable because if it's not i say that's a bit of a contradiction

00:52:28.600 in terms you never told but if it's not but anyway it has to happen because if it doesn't 0.90

00:52:34.020 then you get a sectarian nightmare like Yugoslavia and then and then it will have to happen after

00:52:40.640 that nightmare yeah it will still have to happen yeah it's just whether you want it's just yeah 0.77

00:52:46.100 it's just what do you want a Yugoslavia style nightmare in between yes or no yeah but then 1.00

00:52:51.240 it'll still have to have because the native people aren't going anywhere we've got nowhere to go 0.97

00:52:54.560 unless there's a yugoslavia style sectarian nightmare and we're absolutely wiped out to a man 0.92

00:52:59.160 that's not going to happen no so no so it's like it is inevitable it's just how dark does it get

00:53:06.140 before it happens yeah but also there's the other bit the distinctively practical aspect of things

00:53:11.220 because i know people especially in several circles like to be particularly theoretic

00:53:16.140 and stuff is just balkanization is a problem this problem has to be present prevented

00:53:22.560 yeah it in practice if it is to be prevented it is to be prevented by imperfect solutions

00:53:30.260 because in practice we're choosing between imperfect alternatives so just sitting down

00:53:36.880 and doing nothing by saying well this or that alternative are imperfect and i'm going to show

00:53:41.880 you the contradictions there and just sitting there doing nothing is actually accelerating

00:53:47.820 yep just becoming a passenger in the demise like that's not that's not doing anything

00:53:54.980 and you know as movements go as sort of imperfect options go the save europe act is

00:54:00.060 uh a fantastic one everyone's been banging on about wanting a a right-wing ngo how long i mean

00:54:07.820 this here it is support it show a unified you know a unified european brothers and sisters

00:54:15.100 all coming together all demanding change right you can't get much better than that

00:54:21.220 um however just to clarify so obviously all of that happened in spain uh and the very predictable

00:54:28.500 uh response came um i'll play this i think without some music i just want to show people

00:54:33.300 the uh the response has been i'll just sort of play this in the background kind of mad really

00:54:39.200 you'll just see there you go with the nazis on tour the save europe act with suitor in the

00:54:45.820 background might i add yes yes yes they are so brazen right that they will

00:54:55.540 they will they are so brazen that and and they think so little of your intelligence and we'll

00:55:05.080 sort of pause out there as well and you're right to have a homeland yep so they're so brazen

00:55:10.880 to call everyone the save europe act martin selner you know ava uh vordinga broke it and

00:55:18.340 the whole movement nazis on tour while showing you the objective invasion in suitor

00:55:27.960 how little do they think of your intelligence mate i did a segment about a professor of eu law

00:55:37.520 who's also a fellow at harvard who was speaking about sauta and was saying

00:55:43.220 the crisis in sauta shows that we are dealing with an eu that is very coercive on the border

00:55:49.640 the problem is that this person who insults the intelligence of their audience is going to be

00:55:56.440 read by several people, especially boomers, who are just going to look at the title and

00:56:03.400 they're going to see a fellow at Harvard and they're going to ignore the same picture.

00:56:10.460 And they're going to say, well, yeah, we're very curious about the border.

00:56:14.860 And honestly, the question here to ask, which really amazes me and frustrates me, it infuriates

00:56:21.260 me in fact when i'm thinking about european politics is that uh first of all obviously

00:56:26.300 wanting a europe for european is not uh the same thing as being a nazi but also do you

00:56:32.340 do they really think that the worst thing that could happen in europe

00:56:35.800 is not something like yugoslavia 2.0 but sort of uh deportations yeah because then you end up

00:56:44.100 with articles like mental research network behind the far right save europe act wants to destabilize

00:56:50.300 europe yeah by making it european it's the exact opposite again yeah double double speak

00:56:56.500 yeah exact opposite isn't it yep it is exactly the opposite you know look at the look at the

00:57:01.600 contradiction when it comes to the poland and belarus border that's where putin is using

00:57:07.540 migration flows to destabilize europe yeah i love that wage hybrid warfare when it comes to any

00:57:13.480 other border in the eu it's a crime uh guarding the border is a crime against humanity yeah it's 0.98

00:57:20.180 as if putin's russia is the only yeah um source of destabilization for europe oh yeah yeah yeah

00:57:27.540 i'm not saying it isn't i know some others want to say it isn't i think it is but it's not the

00:57:32.680 only one so just be consistent apply the same logic to every border and so these continue

00:57:37.900 the nazis have crawled out of their dens again uh and forum for democracy warmly welcomes them

00:57:43.820 brilliant yeah yeah sure yeah yeah so we want europe for europeans we're nazis yep okay yep

00:57:49.760 i find it odd when they talk about nazi and nazism it's not just it's not just far right

00:57:54.480 or hard right or extreme right we've got to go specifically we're gonna go there nazism

00:58:00.480 it's laughable national socialist german workers from the 1920s it's them they've

00:58:05.440 crawled out of their dens in spain have they yeah not one yeah yeah and then another one

00:58:12.080 organizing demonstrations with neo-nazis for forum for democracy no longer an objection again

00:58:17.680 this is just absolute drivel absolute drivel sorry that's the thing and that's what frustrates me

00:58:23.540 even more with with people is just this is pure quantity of messaging all this does is it with

00:58:30.380 that as as the message is nazi it's far right and that's the only thing it's it's the association

00:58:35.980 with the word that's what it becomes as opposed to any sort of intellectual discourse of what

00:58:40.420 they actually want yes but people read this and they don't say well no you have to prove why

00:58:45.980 someone like tony estevez or martin selner are nazis they instantly say no they have to prove

00:58:53.080 that they are not yeah and the whole situation the whole discourse focuses now on whether they

00:59:00.300 are or are not nazis instead of focusing on the over-representation of particular communities in

00:59:06.960 crime and what is to be done about it well so on that note that is not what the conversation is

00:59:13.380 going to be we're stepping over that nonsense we don't care us we at the save europe act you you

00:59:20.560 they can call us whatever whatever they want here in britain we're very used to it we're used to

00:59:25.900 being called racist we're used to being called nazi it's old hat it doesn't work anymore and

00:59:31.840 it's exactly the same thing that's going to sweep across europe i've got a statement here from ava

00:59:36.380 which i got this morning i spoke to her and she says and i quote they call us nazis with the sole

00:59:42.160 intent of demonising us and deterring people from signing and joining the Save Europe Act

00:59:47.160 movement. It's so unoriginal and it's obviously a lie. But that's how they always operate when

00:59:53.700 they have no real arguments left. It proves they are afraid of us. And I think the majority of the

00:59:59.140 public can see through it and recognises that it's all lies. People all over Europe rightfully

01:00:05.420 want the borders closed. They rightfully want their homelands to be safe and to feel like home.

01:00:11.520 they have a right to it that is what we that is what we will continue to fight for

01:00:16.760 no matter what they call us and that is unequivocally true on a spiritual level

01:00:23.440 on a metaphysical level and physical level these are our ancestral homelands right our ancestors

01:00:31.780 did not build these wondrous civilizations these stable civilizations all for their their 0.97

01:00:40.080 descendants to succumb to third worlders uh uh raping and murdering them that's not what they 0.94

01:00:47.800 envision envisioned we are stewards here we are stewards of this land to impart a greater 0.96

01:00:54.680 civilization than what one we uh you know found ourselves into our descendants and so on so forth

01:01:02.180 this is our duty this is our moral duty our spiritual duty and it's all across europe this

01:01:07.920 is what Europeans should be focusing on this is what you have to hold dear and so what I will

01:01:13.680 encourage you all to do is sign this sign the act okay Britain if you're watching from Britain we

01:01:22.020 are the third highest signature of this act and I just want to encourage you in Britain to do this

01:01:27.780 to sign up and and get involved right again it's a super political entity it's working above

01:01:35.420 politics to shape the discourse allow the space restore britain didn't just come in out of nowhere

01:01:42.480 with the you know the sort of gumption to say these things this discourse has been normalized

01:01:47.800 over a period of time they they stepped into the space which individuals created and then began

01:01:55.160 reciting the same kind of talking points right we gave them the courage to say these things

01:02:00.360 and kudos to them for doing it but let's push this further let's move further i want everyone

01:02:06.080 in britain to try and sign this if possible please genuinely has to happen we need to get this moving

01:02:13.180 not only that uh and again it is it is a it is a push i am asking you to do this

01:02:19.600 buy some merch activism costs money okay these things have to be funded it would be better if

01:02:26.660 you could at least represent the movement itself by wearing a t-shirt and walking around proudly

01:02:31.640 with it or buying some stickers and putting it in your respective countries and if you are in

01:02:37.780 britain i am the national organizer for the save europe act britain and i will be reaching out to

01:02:43.300 you guys shortly sign up as a volunteer and we'll be reaching out and getting you involved

01:02:49.600 great

01:02:52.360 should we read some of the comments

01:02:58.080 Samson could you please

01:02:59.200 scroll up

01:03:00.880 okay let me do again

01:03:04.240 the Fed check

01:03:05.220 right

01:03:09.960 bald eagle 1787

01:03:11.560 AFD wins elections

01:03:13.240 EU cultists arrest AFD

01:03:15.880 and prevent anything from happening

01:03:17.740 citing German law

01:03:18.840 well i mean i don't think that's going to happen but german has been very very insane actually so

01:03:26.140 the current chancellor there's a legal department that's been working on behalf of the legal

01:03:32.460 chancellor to arrest uh and and press charges on people that have been criticizing him

01:03:37.700 but there's entire videos about it just showing literally thousands and thousands it's mad

01:03:42.540 it's actually insane right and bold eagle 1787 is saying the eu doesn't seem to realize they've

01:03:50.580 created the exact situation that allowed the regimes that started world war ii to rise to

01:03:55.460 power uh and yeah so the thing is i don't know if it's exactly the same but you know if you

01:04:02.220 constantly say that authoritarianism in europe constantly was incredibly xenophobic and blah

01:04:08.260 blah blah don't recreate the conditions that are going to lead to the rise of xenophobia in europe

01:04:14.140 if you're concerned about that just as simple as that yeah i do think it's interesting i wanted to

01:04:20.100 make the point during your video but i didn't want to interrupt you while you was cooking but

01:04:24.240 the idea did i cook oh thanks very much bro just wants to grill just let him grill

01:04:31.440 no the idea that um when you look at uh the beginning of the european project after world

01:04:38.900 war ii we talked about a little bit on state of politics haven't we politics that uh in the years

01:04:44.240 straight after the war the attley years well actually a bit later than that more like the

01:04:49.340 early 50s in the second churchill times and antecedent times um that the people that started

01:04:55.980 that project the last thing they had on their mind was some sort of crazy subversive mechanism

01:05:01.260 some sort of vehicle that would flood europe with foreign people that hated them that was they

01:05:05.900 weren't thinking about that at all they really weren't they were they were really thinking

01:05:10.860 let's not ever no more brother wars is what they were thinking let's not murder each other in by

01:05:17.500 the millions and destroy our cities yeah let's never ever allow that to happen again that's where

01:05:22.540 they were coming from with it uh with it all uh but at over this over the decades it's been

01:05:27.180 subverted into this crazy perverse monstrous thing that it is now so that's that that's the

01:05:33.440 same kind of sentiment broadly speaking the same sort of philosophical sentiment behind the save

01:05:38.960 europe acts right and that's why british people you do need to get involved we are all brothers

01:05:43.140 right that's what you need to view yourself as and if if if one european nation falls i mean

01:05:50.600 yes it would be a domino effect we all need to get involved we're all brothers we're all people

01:05:55.060 we have shared cultures and shared histories distinct and unique from one another yet tangibly

01:06:00.820 similar we must protect one another let's load the third segment samson all right

01:06:08.500 and let brother bo cook get that grill on mate a little bit okay so um we've on on this podcast

01:06:17.460 so far we've talked a little bit about germany we'll talk a little bit about spain and europe

01:06:22.260 in general let's talk a little bit about la france vive la france shall we but before we do that

01:06:32.180 why the island of magazine brought to you by lotus eaters.com number six 14.99 plus plus

01:06:39.380 post-stitch packaging there's some great stuff in there so it's always it's high quality magazine

01:06:45.460 just from a physical element is actually yeah and the last day uh that we're gonna

01:06:52.100 to be selling it is uh friday the 28th of august it's a limited run yeah and mr benjamin insists

01:07:00.660 on not printing anymore so when they're gone they're gone there's an absolute finite amount

01:07:05.300 of them so buy two sell one get your money back for both okay all right let's talk a little bit

01:07:13.940 about France? Well, it seems like Marine Le Pen and the national rally, unless anything

01:07:24.320 changes over the, massively changes over the next few months, she is set to become the

01:07:31.220 next president of France. It seems like it's looking that way. It's looking that way. I

01:07:35.000 mean, it's not too early next year. It's a few months away still. But nonetheless, at

01:07:39.540 the moment as things stand she's got a massive lead massive lead and it looks like it's sort of

01:07:48.180 only growing and the left in France it seems to be in some sort of turmoil all the stars are

01:07:53.600 aligning finally for Marine Le Pen so let's talk about it a bit not to mention not to mention of

01:08:01.620 course the broadest sweep of the story is that the things that make people want to turn rightwards

01:08:09.100 or vote for marina pen and a national rally none of that stuff's going away

01:08:16.540 like the consequences of mass migration and the is is lamification of france and mass casualty

01:08:22.780 events and etc etc etc none of that's going to change over the next few months is it no of

01:08:27.580 which france has been a a true victim of oh yeah absolutely true victim of it oh sorry

01:08:34.060 i was just gonna say what the french have been subjected to is is a crime yeah it's real bad

01:08:39.340 it's a true crime yeah so at the moment she's got something like a 20 point lead

01:08:45.180 that's wow it's real big right over the next guy who is melanchol he's like uh he's pretty far left

01:08:55.020 he's pretty even for french even the french even for the french he's pretty far to the left and

01:09:01.580 it will probably be a runoff between those two probably and even if all the left at that point

01:09:07.580 throw themselves behind him probably marine le pen will still win and handily he is what

01:09:14.300 it's looking like at the moment he must not win um he has explicitly said that you can't count 0.99

01:09:22.940 on christian workers to overthrow capitalism that's why you need muslims what got that yeah

01:09:28.460 that it's explicit we have it here is it that yeah look there you go jean-luc mention only i'm

01:09:34.600 probably not pronounced that correctly leader of the biggest far-left party in france explains why

01:09:38.520 the alliance between progressives and muslims is necessary if you're counting on white christian

01:09:43.980 workers to bring about socialism in france it won't happen but our muslim brothers and sisters 1.00

01:09:48.720 will and then they will murder you as what has happened throughout time what yeah it's pretty 1.00

01:09:56.880 it's just i'm reacting in real time that is absolutely insane the level of um hatred of

01:10:04.180 one's own society and western society in in radical left leftism i think is the strongest

01:10:10.560 political motive that exists it's absolutely staggering how can one how can one wake up in

01:10:15.840 the morning with that as a mindset how i know and i think that the left radical the french

01:10:22.660 radical left is one of the worst radical lefts clearly yeah i this is new to me i didn't know

01:10:28.500 they were that radical genuinely well that guy is he's the actual that's insane the france have

01:10:35.140 actually got loads quite a few political parties more than we've got here i mean well there's

01:10:38.680 dozens and dozens here but there's only like five six real contenders aren't there that to even get

01:10:43.640 any sort of vote where in france there's more than that fair few more than that um but here um

01:10:49.560 there's a breakdown of well just to let people know the way it works is that anyone within reason

01:10:54.580 who wants to enter the presidential election can within reason um and then if someone gets more

01:11:01.860 than 50 percent of the vote they just win and they're just the president of france now but

01:11:05.700 that's rare and then what they do whoever come first and second in that whoever it is they then

01:11:12.400 do a whole new round of election with just a head-to-head with just two people yes right that's

01:11:17.140 the second round the second round right wasn't that last time and then they they sort of

01:11:22.100 made some i think it frequently happened yeah very frequently is what happens is

01:11:26.780 all the left parties in that once it gets to a head-to-head type deal all the left

01:11:34.080 join together as one to push for their more favored leftist or center-left candidate whoever 0.94

01:11:41.000 it is that's exactly what happened last time yeah um and they also play some silly buggers with

01:11:46.780 well a little bit it was a little yeah yeah yeah a little bit of gerrymandering or whatever you'd

01:11:51.500 say yeah yeah but so this time though it looks like you wouldn't be able to do anything yeah

01:11:57.740 unless anything again profoundly profoundly changes over the next few months um it's sort of

01:12:02.620 too big to fail at this point a bit like trump into a big rig too big to rig in uh in 2027 for

01:12:08.300 marine le pen it's also that he in particular is a bit more unpopular with the french than other

01:12:15.660 left-wingers because he explained i think he and his lot have explicitly said that they do want to

01:12:22.540 replace the french and that they see it as a good thing what insane yeah it's it's explicit for them

01:12:29.180 no no i just i can't fathom openly state explicitly i can't fathom the mindset that the sort of

01:12:38.220 the goal the audacity of an individual to be like yeah i want to replace you vote for me

01:12:43.660 me the charles de gaulle of that wait and it looks like what you know you're right though

01:12:53.020 you're absolutely right the chutzpah the brass neck of it outrageous is um at the moment the

01:13:01.360 various breakdowns of who she might go head to head with she wins in all the scenarios

01:13:05.560 she wins in all the scenarios at the moment you're not so good about this as well because

01:13:10.300 we've covered this on state of politics um is that she may at one point it was looking like 0.94

01:13:16.700 she wasn't going to do it right yeah well she said if they kept the tag on her she wouldn't 0.97

01:13:21.840 campaign but then she backtracked on that because she's actually got a curfew and she's got like an

01:13:28.060 ankle tag on but to do but that's what i mean i mean how amazing to still stand on on despite all

01:13:34.540 of the uh political attacks and the sort of dirty underhanded nature of what she's been sort of up

01:13:41.740 against and still go yeah no i'm going to try and do this yeah brilliant good on her good on her

01:13:46.160 and so it does seem like you can in fact vote harder and get things changed at the ballot box

01:13:50.480 after all who knew all right so a little bit about the uh a little bit about the uh that other guy

01:13:56.620 mention along so at the moment in the news cycle in france and any other news agencies if you've

01:14:02.000 kind of look they're trying to like big him up a bit they try to say it's closer it's closer than

01:14:07.660 it might seem it's a bit closer than it might seem um it's not over yet it's not like a foregone

01:14:12.960 conclusion or that sort of thing it's not as bad as as you think uh but as you say so it does seem

01:14:20.120 that in france even though the french have got in the post-war period anyway um or in the since the

01:14:27.320 sixties anyway uh quite a close relationship with sort of leftism soft leftism not full-blown

01:14:33.560 communism or anything but the soft soft socialism they do quite like it in france historically

01:14:39.560 from the 60s and 70s onwards but this guy seems too much no this guy's too much for them it seems

01:14:44.920 he's and i anecdotally i have a friend who is on the social democrat side of things and very

01:14:51.960 annoyingly very progressive very infuriatingly progressive feel like

01:14:59.940 you're talking directly to that person yeah I am I am and he just he he has

01:15:06.120 started in in France and Paris and you know his very French left is just

01:15:11.580 idolizes but when it comes to Melenchon he hates him right right yeah that's the

01:15:15.900 impression I get I'm getting that he's just too too much yeah he actually says

01:15:21.000 it out loud yeah i don't want him to say it out loud it's a far left firebrand in politico

01:15:26.540 happy to call him a far left firebrand right um good we should normalize these kind of languages

01:15:32.440 far left yeah we're not our brands yeah um and it but it does look like in the moment anyway

01:15:38.580 it's looking like it probably will be him that goes into that second round head to head

01:15:42.640 which is just um plays into national rally and marina penn it gives her a bigger win well in

01:15:50.980 Like, look, she beats him more easily than some of the others 0.53

01:15:54.760 if it were to be against him. 0.93

01:15:57.360 But she beats him.

01:15:58.560 But it is likely that it will be against him.

01:16:01.200 I hope that's the key. 0.99

01:16:02.200 So it's an even more of a bit of a, hopefully, of a shoo-in for her.

01:16:06.980 I mean, this Guardian article says a lot.

01:16:10.140 The Guardian view, a division in the left makes Marine Le Pen's path to the Elyse.

01:16:15.700 That's the equivalent of Buckingham Palace.

01:16:18.520 I was going to say

01:16:19.480 Westminster Palace

01:16:20.180 but more like

01:16:20.820 Buckingham Palace

01:16:21.340 Isn't it number 10

01:16:22.820 or not

01:16:23.860 Well so

01:16:24.560 the president

01:16:25.940 is their head of state

01:16:26.840 Our head of state

01:16:27.880 is the king isn't it

01:16:28.640 They just do it differently

01:16:29.720 They just do it differently

01:16:31.000 They're a republic

01:16:34.000 aren't they

01:16:34.360 So if I'll just read

01:16:35.860 a bit of this

01:16:36.280 In the summer of 2024

01:16:37.420 as polls suggest

01:16:38.280 that the Marine Le Pen's

01:16:40.200 far right

01:16:40.920 National Rally Party

01:16:42.340 would win

01:16:43.460 a snapper

01:16:43.900 legislative election

01:16:45.960 rashly called

01:16:46.600 by Emmanuel Macron

01:16:47.500 The perennially fragmented French left united to spectacular effect

01:16:52.560 The new popular front, that's what they call themselves

01:16:55.000 Whose name evoked Leon Bloom's anti-fascist alliance in the 1930s

01:16:59.760 Blum, anti-fascist alliance in the 1930s

01:17:03.060 Came first in a poll that delivered a hung parliament

01:17:06.060 Eight months before a presidential contest

01:17:07.940 In which Ms Le Pen is the clear front-runner

01:17:10.720 The prospect of a repeat performance appears close to zero

01:17:13.720 mention on the leader of the far-left france unbowed and olivier fuhrer i don't know how you

01:17:20.660 pronounce that the leader of the socialist party have both ruled out the idea of backing a single

01:17:25.180 candidate i.e just you know just making an alliance and pulling all of their efforts into

01:17:30.340 one thing as they have done before they're ruling it out they're not going for it efforts by the

01:17:34.260 greens to broker talks between progressive parties have fallen on deaf ears and the moment the left

01:17:39.900 in France aren't getting their

01:17:41.900 stuff together, which just plays

01:17:43.900 into Le Pen's hands, doesn't it?

01:17:45.720 The obvious danger

01:17:46.580 as the most important election in the history of

01:17:49.780 the Fifth Republic looms is that 0.91

01:17:51.820 chronic division will ease Ms. Le Pen's 1.00

01:17:54.160 path to the Elyse.

01:17:55.860 The 75-year-old Mr. Mentional

01:17:57.860 is a deeply polarising figure

01:17:59.580 who has failed three times to even

01:18:01.880 reach the second round of a presidential race.

01:18:04.540 But in a fractured field,

01:18:05.860 the loyalty of his base among the young,

01:18:07.660 the urban uh precariat i had to look up what that means that just means people who live precarious

01:18:13.060 lives yeah like perennially proletariat cricket yeah people that are always poor always trying

01:18:19.460 to find work that's what that means i've i've had to run across that word before but that's what

01:18:22.840 that means um and ethnic minority voters give him um a credible chance of making the runoff this

01:18:29.220 time at which point polls predict france's traditional uh republican front against the

01:18:35.180 far right would disintegrate handing

01:18:37.120 Ms Le Pen a crushing victory, it goes on to talk

01:18:39.160 a bit more about that, I suppose that's sort of the main thing

01:18:40.640 they're saying, it just goes on to say that

01:18:43.120 the left

01:18:44.900 in France can't seem

01:18:47.160 to, it doesn't look like they're going to

01:18:48.920 get their self together and even if

01:18:51.160 they do, they're likely

01:18:53.040 to, more likely than not to

01:18:54.780 coalesce around this guy who

01:18:57.040 ultimately the French

01:18:59.200 people are going to reject

01:19:01.020 if it's a binary choice between him and her

01:19:03.340 so it's looking good for a national rally is what i'm saying is what it looks like i mean

01:19:09.100 yeah so there is something that um makes me a bit worried here though okay so first of all

01:19:15.040 obviously if he wins it's going to be a massive disaster for france second is that if he gets

01:19:20.600 something like 32 percent yeah it's still massive if 32 percent of the french electorate

01:19:30.080 He's fine with supporting someone who says that he wants the French to be replaced and that he wants Muslims to achieve socialism in France while replacing the French. 0.55

01:19:44.120 That's a lot. 0.95

01:19:45.560 That's a lot of social destruction and disintegration.

01:19:51.260 And the thing is that the radical left, and he's representing it, is incredibly destructive.

01:19:58.200 It constantly destroys.

01:19:59.160 if le pen wins and she doesn't build as much as the next leftist is gonna destroy

01:20:05.820 then maybe he loses now 68 32 but 20 years from now 10 or 20 years down from now you do get the

01:20:17.180 future melanchon win maybe i mean maybe you with all of these figures everything that you've said

01:20:24.540 is completely true right but you you've got to factor in the immigrant voter base there yeah

01:20:30.700 so if she just deports them all then that support for the radical left goes down substantially

01:20:36.200 if well so that's the thing like how based is she really um you can make the argument you

01:20:44.900 like a lot of these people you can find one thing they said oh yeah that's really super based and 0.59

01:20:49.660 And then another thing they said, which is pretty damn milquetoast, but, I mean, at the moment, she's...

01:20:54.600 I mean, for example, here, Marine Le Pen said, I will immediately conduct mass deportations. 0.65

01:21:00.620 Mass immigration has been a disaster for France. 0.68

01:21:04.100 I mean, people are only listening to this. 1.00

01:21:07.320 We'll have to hear some French right now.

01:21:09.400 But there's subtitles for anyone watching this.

01:21:11.800 titres

01:21:13.360 légo, immigrés légo

01:21:15.560 qui rentre chaque année dans notre pays

01:21:17.140 sans compter les clandestins

01:21:18.800 l'immigration pèse sur notre pays

01:21:22.060 elle n'est pas une chance à éteindre

01:21:23.560 aujourd'hui nous avons 7 millions de chômeurs

01:21:31.280 et 9 millions de pauvres et je compte

01:21:33.120 régler, expulser immédiatement

01:21:35.780 l'intégralité des fichiers

01:21:37.540 étrangers pour lien avec le

01:21:39.480 djihadisme car il n'y a aucune raison

01:21:40.960 pour que nous conservions sur le territoire

01:21:43.120 des gens qui représentent un danger

01:21:44.580 quelconque pour la sécurité 0.55

01:21:46.400 Yeah, I mean

01:21:48.920 that's about as

01:21:50.180 sensible as you can get, isn't it really?

01:21:53.240 A whole extremist flagged

01:21:54.800 Yeah, we should probably deport them, yes

01:21:56.400 So again, if you're only listening to this and you don't

01:21:58.820 understand French, she was saying

01:21:59.880 the tens of thousands

01:22:02.700 of known sort of jihadist extremists

01:22:05.220 we've got in France, we're going to immediately

01:22:06.760 expel all of those because there's no 1.00

01:22:08.980 good reason to have them there, have them here

01:22:10.940 there's no reason for it so as very very different tune to macron isn't it very very different tune

01:22:17.100 to that mention long fella uh another just one more data point uh i won't play this because that

01:22:22.960 hasn't even got subtitles you'd actually need to understand french to get what she's saying but

01:22:27.020 she says she won't she doesn't want to spend six million euro six billion euros they send to the

01:22:35.220 european union every year so again she's not actually said she would just leave the european

01:22:39.820 union but financially sort of uh they'll create a scenario in which it's all but a foregone

01:22:46.480 conclusion yeah i i think they're just um she and also alice weidel of the afd when it comes to

01:22:54.820 their statements about the eu i don't think they will actually leave it it reminds me a lot of what

01:23:00.700 trump is doing with nato and the un yes he's constantly saying i'm gonna leave i don't need

01:23:05.780 you blah blah blah but he's doing this to renegotiate the terms of maybe maybe alliance

01:23:12.280 what trump's done with the un because the vast majority of un funding comes directly from the

01:23:17.920 united states treasury directly and trump said well i'm just not going to give you i'm going to

01:23:22.900 cut the funding to the chain of 90 or more something crazy give you a tiny fraction of

01:23:26.960 the money we used to give you it sounds like le pen's got something similar in mind for europe as

01:23:32.320 well um so it looks like you can actually vote harder that is a real thing and um hopefully we

01:23:41.340 shall see maybe i'll maybe i've fallen for it all again who knows but why is she so popular well

01:23:49.760 because as you said at the beginning nate france has been subject to a worst a worse set of things

01:23:59.100 than we have even the number of atrocities that happen there i mean you need only just off you

01:24:05.820 know just like things off the top of your head the batter clan charlie hebdo that truck of peace in

01:24:13.560 nice uh any number of priests usually catholic priests murdered in their church and all the

01:24:21.200 churches burnt down um that guy in the in the park that was stabbing up little kids 0.96

01:24:27.520 these are nearly all islamists nearly all islamists just an endless number of atrocities 0.85

01:24:35.240 that france goes through almost on a daily basis that was that park stabbing we just go on wikipedia 0.78

01:24:40.440 and you go over a list of terrorist incidents in france they go back to sort of the 19th century

01:24:46.280 but just in in recent times just in recent times just stabbings stabbings shootings bombings

01:24:55.280 stabbings it just it's just there's so many there's so many and so many and when you look

01:25:01.320 at the description nearly all islamists they're nearly all islamists and this is a policy and

01:25:06.320 people are sick of it and it just goes on and on and this list isn't even everything it just goes

01:25:12.520 on and on and on and the french people are sort of finally finally it takes a while doesn't it but

01:25:20.080 are finally making their voices heard at the ballot box and so godspeed to marine le pen

01:25:27.480 again it's not perfect it's not like the ultimate fix sometimes step right sometimes

01:25:33.460 sometimes you can't just jump straight to the ultimate ultimate uber based fix you'll have to

01:25:42.200 have some intermediary phase yeah and well it's better to have the pen than that mention on dude

01:25:50.860 so be ready for early next year what is i think the first round's in april and the second round's

01:25:57.900 in may next year so there you go do you uh do you want to well do a okay let's play the let's play

01:26:07.220 the the videos yep so a conservative movie idea i have is basically it's like the hostile movies

01:26:22.980 but it's about young left-wing college women going off to join ngo programs to go and help

01:26:28.860 migrants at the refugee centers and basically realizing that the heads of these refugee

01:26:34.680 centers are basically feeding young women to the migrants and basically they just keep covering it

01:26:39.820 up as accidents when they disappear that was shocking bad concept for a horror movie yeah

01:26:48.920 just the just horror yeah just the that it's all shocking isn't it but that particular one was

01:26:55.020 quite grotesque uh yeah and we constantly have the same thing with the news they constantly say

01:27:00.900 man killed blah blah blah yeah an afghan wasn't it if i remember rightly i think so yeah and 0.70

01:27:06.220 it happened again we recently had also incidents with people from pakistan

01:27:11.540 just a humble gardener climbs the terrifying walls of mordor returns when he realized the betrayal 0.94

01:27:21.600 Wheels the morning star

01:27:24.780 Follows Frodo into hell

01:27:27.600 The hero of Laws of the Rings

01:27:30.500 Samwise Gamgee

01:27:32.880 Great arm.

01:27:36.020 Yeah, that's really good.

01:27:37.560 Thanks, Ovi.

01:27:38.720 Very stylistic.

01:27:39.980 Wish I could draw that well.

01:27:41.540 I said that once before and someone said,

01:27:43.000 you can learn this.

01:27:43.700 Nothing's stopping you from learning.

01:27:44.700 Yeah, fair point, I suppose.

01:27:46.220 But no, that's really cool drawing.

01:27:49.160 Luca has uploaded a review and analysis of the first of C.S. Lewis's space trilogy, Out of the

01:27:55.220 Silent Planet. He has said Perilandra is to be covered soon. I hope he will delve into the

01:27:59.700 interesting theological and moral aspects of the story. If, like me, you're a slow reader,

01:28:04.440 then I encourage as many of the audience as possible to start reading the trilogy now.

01:28:08.480 The first two books are not long and move at a fair clip. They're quite necessary to the trilogy,

01:28:13.000 so don't skip them. That hideous strength through which I'm working now is fascinating

01:28:17.760 right from the start and lucas chronicles on that will be greatly enhanced by a larger audience

01:28:22.500 having read the book yeah awesome yeah we must make sure he hears that yes he's not in today is

01:28:30.000 he uh not in today but he and nick dexon need to be aware of it samson can you just make some

01:28:37.340 sort of note to send that to lucas yes thumbs up great he's got a thumbs up i see an irelander copy

01:28:43.300 there. So Jason Arday, fraud, charlatan, pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-historian, pseudo-scientist,

01:28:50.340 and liar, is now being canonized by the same coterie of incompetence that appointed him 0.98

01:28:55.200 to such a lofty and unearned position in the first place. He is a fine representation of 0.93

01:29:01.560 leftist heroes like St. Floyd of Fentanyl. Perhaps Cambridge needs a copy of Islander 4

01:29:07.240 and the articles by Carl Benjamin and Professor Dutton to see what true academic and philosophical

01:29:12.460 works look like

01:29:13.420 if you missed

01:29:15.080 Islander 4

01:29:15.800 hi thee hence

01:29:17.520 to the merch store

01:29:18.460 and get

01:29:19.600 a copy of

01:29:20.500 Islander 6

01:29:22.040 $14.99

01:29:26.200 whilst copies last

01:29:27.200 Let's see you

01:29:33.360 Emporium 0.98

01:29:57.200 Cannons

01:30:02.780 Two cannons

01:30:11.580 What was that about?

01:30:14.600 Where was that?

01:30:15.520 Does it even say something?

01:30:16.620 What was that?

01:30:17.880 That was with no context whatsoever

01:30:19.360 of where we were there 0.62

01:30:21.460 White coded, that's what it was 1.00

01:30:23.080 Yeah, I mean 0.73

01:30:27.000 got that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i just wondered where it was but don't worry about

01:30:36.900 Don't worry about it.

01:30:37.900 Don't worry about it.

01:30:45.900 Another video of the same thing.

01:30:52.900 Oh, Whitney.

01:31:06.900 This is like a Dario Argento thing

01:31:11.260 where everything is loosely

01:31:12.700 disconnected and

01:31:14.980 you're trying to piece it together

01:31:16.980 The story is the journey

01:31:20.600 Okay, cannons 0.95

01:31:21.800 The Favenietta advocates for

01:31:25.200 violent revolution, Werewolf the Apocalypse

01:31:26.880 advocates for eco-terrorism and Cyberpunk

01:31:28.700 advocates for class war. Even if this wasn't

01:31:31.020 strictly the author's intention, and it was

01:31:32.880 it's the audience that's attracted and the fans

01:31:35.100 will openly write essays saying it's always been about that and mock you for trying to

01:31:38.540 water it down or trying to enjoy it while not holding hard left politics. These aren't

01:31:42.340 unknown or condemned franchises. They're popular. With that in mind, I can't bring

01:31:46.540 myself to condemn Citizen Vigilante on that basis because it's the one piece of media

01:31:50.300 that dares to express the exact same extremism, but from the other side.

01:31:57.320 Yeah, I'd do it.

01:31:58.280 Yep.

01:31:59.400 I like to sort of view V for Vendetta. It's quite easy if you have a tiny bit of imagination.

01:32:05.100 to view the vendetta the other way around

01:32:08.940 right wanted to you know let's go to the comments so philip says aside from the 0.53

01:32:15.980 pure invasion happening germans pay taxes so high and suffer under bureaucracy so big and strict it 0.70

01:32:22.440 would make current english people go that's a joke right they're being squeezed from all directions 0.59

01:32:28.720 yeah you'd have to know that's the arnie thing with the freeze you know

01:32:38.320 stelius loves arnie and doing arnie impressions in real life loves it loves them

01:32:42.800 that was a tiny little yet to be yet to hear it that's very that's a bit esoteric so i admit it

01:32:50.720 okay go on carry on they're being squeezed from all directions to find their own invasion

01:32:56.720 even worse than you guys sorry i'm obviously not laughing for the germans right samuel gasline

01:33:03.120 gustine as an american and praying for you i truly hope you all are great are able to take

01:33:09.120 your homelands back also a man of german descent it would be nice to have a backup

01:33:14.400 and colin p says one has to wonder how long it will be before the word nazi loses the power it

01:33:20.960 used to have

01:33:21.760 it's got to be at some

01:33:25.120 point 1.00
