The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1530

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Monday,

00:00:03.560 the 19th of October, 2026. I'm joined by Luca and Ferris, and today we're going to be talking

00:00:08.120 about the chaos in France, the reaction to it, and whether it could happen here,

00:00:12.760 because that's on everyone's lips. So, before we begin, at three o'clock on losis.com,

00:00:19.660 Ferris will be covering whether there's going to be war either way in his new episode of

00:00:25.080 Realpolitik that will be live so join us there for that talking about the Israeli elections just so

00:00:31.200 people don't think that we're talking again about the Middle East war all right but the outcome of

00:00:35.760 the elections is going to be war either way just to uh you know I've been told that I've been talking 0.54

00:00:40.540 about the war too much is Netanyahu gonna win quite possibly in a very convoluted way he stays

00:00:47.460 in Israeli political life one way or another well yeah with a made as a major leader I didn't think

00:00:52.380 was going away anyway uh with that let's begin all right then friends we've seen some harrowing

00:00:59.180 footage coming out of france over the past weekend this has been something that as reuters report

00:01:05.340 here um has resulted in over 2400 arrests across france has resulted in nearly 1000 officers being

00:01:13.900 injured and the french interior minister has come out and actually just clarified all of this from

00:01:19.980 the state itself um so what has exactly been happening and why is it happening now now obviously

00:01:26.380 we covered um a few weeks ago uh there was a lot of um people in france as well there was rioting

00:01:33.100 we saw people set on fire truly terrible things were coming out then but it is taken on a new life

00:01:40.940 of its own now a lot of this is instantly well i say instantly not at all it's entirely by design

00:01:48.700 that a lot of the migrant vengeance that has been coming out has happened to be because

00:01:56.300 October 17th marks the anniversary, as Wikipedia tells us here, of the killing of Algerians who

00:02:03.100 were living in Paris by the French National Police on October 17th, 1961. So as far as they

00:02:10.640 have been concerned, there is a racial narrative here of vengeance against the French state,

00:02:16.920 And now that the demographics are much more in the Algerian favour and just the third world favour more generally,

00:02:25.240 they feel that they are now able to do all of this with impunity. 0.53

00:02:29.920 The question at hand, of course, is, well, whose revolution is this?

00:02:35.720 Is this a revolution of the student protesters who have been talking about the conditions that they have to endure in schools,

00:02:44.600 as if these are 1789 conditions that the youth of France are now trapped in.

00:02:53.920 Yes. I mean, just for anyone who's wondering,

00:02:56.920 France has got one of the biggest welfare states in the world.

00:02:59.160 I was going to say, 31% of France's GDP goes to social welfare.

00:03:03.540 I think it's second to Finland in the entirety of the EU.

00:03:07.360 So no one can accuse the French state of not giving handouts where the economy is concerned.

00:03:15.900 They can't be accused of austerity.

00:03:17.680 No, certainly not.

00:03:19.340 More than 55%, 50-something percent of the GDP is the state budget.

00:03:26.800 So France has full-fledged socialism.

00:03:30.160 It spends more as a share of GDP than China or Vietnam, ostensibly communist countries.

00:03:37.700 It taxes much more.

00:03:40.160 And this is the result.

00:03:42.860 I mean, the Soviet Union had a 50% GDP spend by the state.

00:03:48.660 So France spends more on its welfare.

00:03:52.140 On the state. 0.69

00:03:53.200 On the state in general than the Soviet Union did. 0.90

00:03:56.020 Yeah, absolutely absurd. Just dizzyingly high numbers. But this is the point that we have kind of, there are two revolts going on at the same time here, and the French state will try to foggy them for you. 0.98

00:04:12.000 It will say on the one hand, and I've seen people with a temerity to assert, that these protests and the arson and the just sheer marauding barbarity of the thing is in no way linked to immigration whatsoever.

00:04:26.100 This is obviously a lie.

00:04:27.980 We can see the faces of the people doing this, and we'll see many more as I go through the segment.

00:04:32.520 But I do think that it pays to say that the character of many of the actual protesters was those who were just going to the place of the Republic, and there were lots of peaceful protests around France at the same time.

00:04:50.160 having said that these are always just simply an excuse for the other people who have no ties to

00:04:57.800 this whatsoever and are not students in any way to go about and vandalize but i will say as well

00:05:05.100 as to the actual students because i'm not letting them off the hook uh they enable all of this they

00:05:11.440 excuse the worst excesses and as you can see here um there are very few uh in fact no french flags

00:05:19.140 whatsoever. Couldn't be any more explicitly third worldist. Right and this unfortunately I think

00:05:25.760 from the side of the radically far left students in France and the youth that has just been

00:05:32.440 inculcated in the malaise of neoliberalism what we're seeing here both from the left-wing actual 0.89

00:05:38.500 ethnic French students and what we're seeing from the foreign marauders is basically two symptoms 0.91

00:05:46.560 that are the collapse of neoliberalism from different angles. 0.77

00:05:52.780 One that obviously just sees the promises made by the French Revolution

00:05:57.820 over 200 years ago and looks around and says,

00:06:01.580 well, the promises of liberalism, that we would have material abundance

00:06:05.760 and that, you know, with the cost of living and everything.

00:06:09.180 Radicular equality as well.

00:06:10.760 Right. Yes. 0.91

00:06:12.100 You have failed, Mr. Macron, to provide us with all of these promises that you made, and therefore we get to tear the entire system down, and because the French Revolution has been romanticised in French history for over 200 years now, as if the 40 years that followed it weren't some of the worst of France's entire existence,

00:06:35.960 and basically saw the ultimate example of the left eating their own.

00:06:42.780 But nonetheless, you have all of these wannabe Robespierre's and Meraz just going about

00:06:48.020 because they have wanted, in the same way that they're drilled into their heads about civil rights movement,

00:06:53.700 they want their moment.

00:06:55.260 They want their struggle.

00:06:56.880 And they think that this is their time.

00:06:59.280 The other thing as well, of course, is that you have, at the same time, 0.96

00:07:04.520 You say, well, this isn't a migrant problem, and we'll go, obviously, into it more in your segment, Carl,

00:07:09.240 but when Macron comes out and says, why would the French do this?

00:07:13.120 Well, these people are not acting in a very French way.

00:07:16.120 I've seen people glibly rushing it off to say, well, because the French Revolution happened over 200 years ago,

00:07:21.940 this is just all part of France's...

00:07:23.620 The French do protest a lot.

00:07:26.660 Yes. 1.00

00:07:27.100 They smash government buildings in Paris quite a lot, 1.00

00:07:31.540 but they don't tend to just loot private stores no uh and in fact in defense of these chaps too 0.96

00:07:38.840 uh neither do they if the clientele is muslim and is a fellow brother or sister then we can

00:07:45.220 see them turning away for the sake of time i can't play all of the videos and we also see that

00:07:50.940 in the case of halal chicken shops they too are off limits in all of that um we can see here as

00:07:59.000 Well, in fact, I will play this one just briefly,

00:08:01.540 because this was an astoundingly revealing reaction.

00:08:15.140 Oh, he's the wrong type of guy.

00:08:16.600 We'll all just disperse.

00:08:18.560 Amazing.

00:08:19.080 Couldn't be any clearer. 0.96

00:08:19.880 He's not a white Frenchman, therefore. 0.96

00:08:21.540 No.

00:08:22.100 But if you are a white Frenchman, 0.98

00:08:24.080 then you get racial humiliation. 0.96

00:08:26.860 Yeah.

00:08:27.060 you get stripped down to your bare clothes everything's stolen from you and forced to

00:08:32.240 walk the streets naked and these are elderly people these are elderly people as well and

00:08:38.040 again all they can do is lie i saw people just coming out online saying oh they were cops cops

00:08:44.560 that guy what the hell are you on about it's like maybe 40 years ago but this is this is

00:08:51.920 Go back and say, this is an incredible image by which, to make the argument,

00:08:57.040 don't let yourself become a hated racial minority in your own country.

00:09:00.260 Yes. 1.00

00:09:01.100 It's an incredible image.

00:09:02.160 Absolutely.

00:09:02.260 This is what will happen to you.

00:09:03.360 And I can't help but wonder what the voting patterns might have been.

00:09:07.500 Well, yeah.

00:09:08.020 But that's in time.

00:09:08.840 I'm sure next time it'll be quite far to the right, though.

00:09:11.020 Well, we can only hope.

00:09:12.940 And, of course, the telling aspect of it is that when they raid the stores,

00:09:16.620 all of a sudden the pork products are just left entirely untouched. 0.74

00:09:24.860 And then we just see them proudly raising the TikToks

00:09:29.240 on what they've been taking. 0.93

00:09:30.440 We've plundered everything in the name of Allah. 0.96

00:09:34.000 Average French reason to do this. 0.99

00:09:35.880 That explains why he took the Ferrero Rochers 1.00

00:09:38.120 and not the pork sausages.

00:09:41.380 Yeah.

00:09:42.900 So it couldn't be more brazen,

00:09:44.560 but again, it comes down to the thing,

00:09:46.260 the fact that they're boasting about it on social media shows how safe they feel for all of the talk

00:09:53.180 and we'll get to that in fact um in just a minute for all of the talk about oh the police are

00:09:59.520 fascist they will pay for this yes yeah no they're not nonsense absolute nonsense you do it because

00:10:05.620 you know you can get away with it it reminds me in a way i mean to take it back to uh the event

00:10:11.520 of the french revolution like when thomas paine in the rights of man was talking about the fact

00:10:15.860 that, oh, it's because it happened under such a benign rule

00:10:19.880 like Louis XVI, that you know that it was justified

00:10:23.660 because we didn't do it under the worst excesses.

00:10:26.600 No, you did it because you saw the weakness

00:10:28.300 and you knew you could get away with it. 0.93

00:10:30.260 Same with Nicholas II. 0.56

00:10:31.700 Yes, exactly.

00:10:32.700 It didn't happen under the previous czars because they just shot you.

00:10:35.220 Yes, in the same way, just as it did back in the event

00:10:39.040 that they're all invoking back in 1961,

00:10:41.740 where they were actually shot.

00:10:43.440 And back under it was under Louis XIV, which is why, you know, he was powerful, desperate.

00:10:48.520 The Sun King.

00:10:48.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Sun King. 1.00

00:10:50.260 Just kill the people who object. 1.00

00:10:52.380 And then you get Louis XVI who believes in the rights of man and they chop his head off. 1.00

00:10:56.560 But they will do all of this. 1.00

00:10:58.340 They will leave the Muslim shops as they will. 1.00

00:11:02.740 They will do all these sorts of things. 0.99

00:11:04.300 They will not attack the black men.

00:11:05.540 There was a lot of Jewish shops and they'd identified the Jewish shops beforehand.

00:11:08.840 Yes, they did.

00:11:09.560 So they knew what they were doing.

00:11:10.980 Absolutely.

00:11:11.300 This was organized.

00:11:11.900 this is this is the important part here very much so um but then they will still have the

00:11:16.580 temerity to say that they're just as french as you are with your algerian flags and all the

00:11:20.180 sorry one incredible statement we're here to claim our right to recognize ourselves as french

00:11:25.200 well you obviously don't recognize yourself as french no so what do you need the right for

00:11:30.240 and no one believes you yeah i mean you're apart from macron yeah well no no actually uh

00:11:36.520 it's a part of the kind of French civic disease

00:11:41.200 to impose being a Frenchman

00:11:44.060 on anyone who has French citizenship.

00:11:46.500 And they try to have no distinction

00:11:48.900 because they are deeply Rousseauian

00:11:51.580 in their political outlook.

00:11:53.180 Obviously, it's not true.

00:11:54.880 Obviously, it doesn't work.

00:11:56.000 Obviously, it hasn't worked for these people.

00:11:57.580 But that's what she's appealing to there.

00:12:00.240 Yes.

00:12:01.000 And then we can't forget as well, of course,

00:12:03.360 that these are the people that Mellinchon,

00:12:06.520 believes are the worthy inheritors of France.

00:12:10.140 Oh, he literally said, bring on the great replacement.

00:12:12.400 Yes, he did.

00:12:13.220 Yes, and as you can see him here just saying about,

00:12:15.580 just using genocidal language against the French people 0.51

00:12:18.980 and saying that France will be better because of it.

00:12:22.160 Truly horrible.

00:12:23.460 And then we get to the fact that, as I say,

00:12:25.120 you have these two separate kind of struggles

00:12:29.200 going on here at the same time. 1.00

00:12:30.840 And now in the image of this French left-wing woman, 0.95

00:12:33.820 you see her perhaps who knows realizing that oh what I care about and the the high-minded

00:12:42.400 far-left ideological reasons for doing this are actually nothing to these people whatsoever

00:12:48.460 can we watch this video yeah sure sorry I think you're exactly right but it's so

00:13:03.820 they'll steal the wine they'll seal the booze they won't touch the pork yeah it's genuinely 1.00

00:13:24.780 and you see this all the time with with with uh with muslims like lapsed muslims will always drink 0.98

00:13:30.960 yeah they won't touch pork and it's just bizarre this is fascinating to me because her saying this 0.89

00:13:36.560 isn't the cause implies that she is also a part of the left-wing revolution implies she agrees with

00:13:43.200 it and yes it is exactly the cause what are you talking about it's mass forced redistribution of 0.76

00:13:49.880 goods the third worlders is precisely the cause that they've been supporting this whole time what 0.94

00:13:55.760 did you think it was to correct historic wrongs of colonialism as she would call it to bring

00:14:00.820 about the perfect equality and liberty that you were promised at the beginning of the French

00:14:04.860 Revolution yes you were just fine with it when it was being done by the government because it

00:14:10.120 didn't involve so much smashing yes but now that it's actually well we could just take this into

00:14:14.900 our hands now it's a problem now that you see what the government would do to you if you didn't

00:14:19.740 comply yes yes yes you see that the actual violence implied in taxation uh but when she

00:14:28.100 goes on later in the video as well to say oh what is the point of this why are you doing this it's

00:14:33.120 like yeah that's right you cannot understand these people you thought you did you thought you had it

00:14:38.720 all figured out didn't you thought they were just like you yeah yeah but no in fact reality suggests

00:14:45.880 that you have no way of reasoning with these people as they roam about in Saint Denis which

00:14:50.820 is totally overtaken uh pillaging it at free will and again she thought oh the cause the cause

00:14:58.080 this is the cause by the way french school students understandably upset about repeated

00:15:02.960 failures to find replacement teachers for their romantic poetry classes it's you'd have to be 0.97

00:15:07.980 perfect idiot to believe it perfect absolutely um obviously chap saying with irony but these 0.84

00:15:13.680 people here again and it's just so again these are melanchon's boys yeah we all know who these 1.00

00:15:20.640 guys are voting for student protest i'd be amazed if these people were literate yeah yeah absolutely

00:15:26.520 i mean just who are you trying to fool here and as i say you you see him here just talking about

00:15:32.700 gloating about the fact that they're um all the thieving that they've done this one was utterly

00:15:38.880 remarkable where you can see here this woman helping her son take away the stuff that he's

00:15:46.180 looted on the back of their moped you've got on sand luca right luca she's deprived she's starving 0.93

00:15:52.140 yes she is they're the tired the cold the poor the hungry and they're going to make a fire with

00:15:56.880 your oak door no they're not even cold and poor they're not even hungry they just sense the

00:16:02.820 weakness of the french state and society and therefore they realize that we have sufficient

00:16:07.880 numbers now you won't stop us and the the most frustrating thing about all of this is the fact

00:16:14.760 that it's the far left who are talking about the fact that everything's getting more expensive

00:16:19.220 our wages are so low that we can't afford anything who advocated for bringing millions

00:16:24.560 and millions of other workers into france to compete with your labor what was your opinion

00:16:29.080 on the covid lockdowns and payouts yeah all this stuff like they are just a mess of contradictions

00:16:35.800 you have no understanding of how the world works no but they they understand that what they're

00:16:40.760 doing is making society weaker right everything they advocate for makes society weaker it makes

00:16:44.900 everyone poorer makes everyone more precarious and that brings the step towards the revolution

00:16:49.240 closer everything they do is to bring about the end of society civilization because these people

00:16:55.340 will undoubtedly build a better world yeah uh no doubt whatsoever you can tell by looking at

00:17:01.000 algeria yeah yeah uh and then you get just uh crazy scenes like this with the police obviously

00:17:07.480 fighting back against them because what else would they do yeah i mean that's their job as far as

00:17:13.180 we're concerned right that the writers have gotten away with a remarkably soft touch at the

00:17:19.180 end of this weekend i i saw a bunch of people posting the scene from that napoleon movie where

00:17:23.180 he uses the grape shot on the crowd yeah i saw some leftists going oh they're the reactionaries

00:17:27.240 they're shooting so okay well in this context it could be the leftist that you're shooting

00:17:31.000 but either way a bit of grape shot would really end this still a mob yeah exactly it's still a mob

00:17:35.420 and uh you can see here clemens uh gutier talking about the fact it's like well at this hour your

00:17:41.800 riot police is dragging teenagers to the ground beating them i.e saying so you get to just

00:17:47.600 vandalize and ransack every city in paris with impunity and the police stepping in to try and

00:17:56.400 enforce something to give the pretense we're at the point where it is merely the pretense

00:18:02.300 that there is some force of law and order about still in the system and like oh you're just making

00:18:08.420 everything worse it's like yeah for people who don't deserve the grace whatsoever and you can

00:18:14.920 see melanchon literally just coming out and doing the um the leslie nielsen skit from naked gun here

00:18:20.580 where the entire country's on fire and it's like oh but look at these few pictures that i've got

00:18:25.800 from across the cities sorry sorry i can't help but notice oh yeah look at look at the collections

00:18:31.220 of white faces i was yeah i was just about to mention yeah sorry i couldn't no no jumped out

00:18:37.140 from it yeah um you are right there's two revolutions going on here yeah so very telling

00:18:42.420 uh but melanchon will obviously never be honest about any of this um because actually we see when

00:18:49.560 the uh people that he thinks should come in and inherit france we see them attacking firefighters

00:18:55.240 again for the sake of time can't go through everything and creating uh kakatovs uh so 0.79

00:19:01.240 literally filling them with urine and excrement to hurl at the cops which 0.89

00:19:07.240 they've done and is also the disgusting this video you can see here got basically

00:19:13.000 45 million views on X and I will just play the first parts of it cause it is

00:19:19.180 insane as you can see them basically just assaulting these police fans before

00:19:25.900 they can even you try to open the door and immediately closed it again so they

00:19:29.500 can't launch and they can't get out to enforce some order it's just a barbarian tribe fighting

00:19:37.040 the romans yes that's what we're watching yeah it's like the sack over tactics no organization

00:19:42.120 when you see them on i don't know if you have a video when they go to the rooftops break the

00:19:47.680 chimneys and hurl the bricks from the chimneys from like five six stories up easily oh it's a

00:19:54.800 lethal weapon they could kill their own people yeah but oh yes uh yes yeah but yeah sorry carry

00:20:00.460 on uh and and also as well so and then you just see like joan of arc being hollowed out by these

00:20:06.900 people as if joan of arc good christian joan of arc would endorse any of this whatsoever joan of

00:20:13.820 arc has them all killed right and as if joan of arcs and the entire reason that she's venerated

00:20:19.340 isn't to force English influence, foreign influence, out of France

00:20:24.200 so that the French people can once again be strong in their own homeland.

00:20:30.020 That is exclusively what Joan of Arc was chosen by God to do, apparently,

00:20:36.220 because the French couldn't beat the English without God's help.

00:20:38.700 But actually, it turns out that...

00:20:40.700 That's the narrative of Joan of Arc. That's literally the narrative.

00:20:46.300 And that is a true state, I know.

00:20:47.820 and that's why we executed her 1.00

00:20:50.380 I pray for

00:20:54.640 her intercession for all of you

00:20:56.660 but I've juxtaposed Joan of Arc

00:20:59.040 here being obviously a young good

00:21:00.900 French Christian woman with the 1.00

00:21:02.940 type of young girl 1.00

00:21:04.680 if I can still use that term

00:21:06.480 that they venerate these days

00:21:08.020 which is that Greta Thunberg of course turned up

00:21:10.660 to give her support and say how proud

00:21:12.800 she was of everyone

00:21:14.500 for earning down

00:21:16.540 their own cities and being a part of the global entifada because isn't that interesting uh greta

00:21:22.340 thunberg is like the idol the the the avatar of international globalist liberalism you know the

00:21:30.540 the omni cause right we're here for climate crisis we're for palestine and i'm also on the ground

00:21:36.500 very safely with a bunch of third worldists and communist revolutionaries well that shows you that

00:21:41.920 the sentiment of the global elite is with them yes against the institutions of france which

00:21:48.360 protect the law-abiding citizens so that just just be aware of who's pushing at the open door here

00:21:54.480 you're the one who's pushing at the closed door that's locked and barred and you are not allowed

00:21:59.140 through when you demand your rights to have your business to be safe to maybe not get rinsed in

00:22:03.980 taxes whatever else it is to have your own country they get everything and the other thing as well

00:22:10.080 that this entire thing from the left-wing students' perspective is,

00:22:14.000 well, government, we've been shouting at you for enough years now

00:22:17.640 and you never listen to us.

00:22:19.000 It's like, oh, the gall on that.

00:22:22.340 As if the French state haven't been ignoring people saying, 1.00

00:22:25.380 yeah, we just don't want Africans in our country for decades and decades

00:22:29.660 and persecuted them for suggesting it.

00:22:32.060 So don't give me this about, oh, the state has been ignoring us,

00:22:35.760 the state has been suppressing us.

00:22:37.280 But notice the framing.

00:22:40.540 The state has been ignore us.

00:22:41.680 As in, we understand this is our state.

00:22:43.820 We understand that these are our people in charge.

00:22:46.420 Why aren't they just giving us everything that we're asking for?

00:22:49.140 And the weakness that they've been constantly moving back and back and back from their position.

00:22:53.500 It's just now, okay, well now it's just you're in the Louis XVI position.

00:22:56.760 Now you're in the Nicholas II position.

00:22:58.580 Where we're just going to start rioting and using violence to get what we know you want to give us.

00:23:03.680 Yes.

00:23:04.120 But can't do it practically.

00:23:06.100 Absolutely.

00:23:06.480 As you were pointing out, Firas just throwing chimneys from the top of multi-storey buildings onto people's heads.

00:23:13.680 Utterly ghastly.

00:23:14.780 And I could not resist, just whilst all of this is going on, let's check in on the moon, shall we?

00:23:27.000 I mean, it says a thousand words.

00:23:29.560 This is incredible.

00:23:30.140 Well, this, yeah, no, no, it's got the sort of vibes of the Russian aristocracy prior to the fall of the Tsars.

00:23:37.620 Because I'm reading, I'm currently reading a book when I'm in the gym, well, I listened to an audiobook about Lenin. 0.88

00:23:42.640 And the author, I can't remember who it is, makes quite a long point about how degenerate the Russian aristocracy had become. 0.92

00:23:50.040 They were insanely opulent, constantly in Moscow and Petersburg, wherever. 0.93

00:23:55.960 you've got riots you've got food shortages you've got civil unrest everywhere and yet the russian

00:24:01.620 aristocracy rather than trying to solve any of the problems is just essentially admitting like

00:24:06.860 they're living on borrowed time so they're just indulging as much as they can having hugely opulent

00:24:11.560 parties living in palaces and just lasting as long as they can before the revolution and everyone

00:24:17.520 knows a revolution is coming and this is just insane vibes yeah truly how you can just yeah

00:24:23.800 don't worry about it this is this would be my grandchildren's problem yeah exactly just

00:24:28.340 incredibly selfish uh Dior coming out just having faith and actually getting the French police

00:24:34.420 should we just check in on who Dior supported back in 2020 shall we didn't save you did it Dior

00:24:40.500 didn't save you one iota well hang on there's this go back there's there's a slight um there's a

00:24:47.000 there's a kind of living with their own values here right um they they're like well we're we're

00:24:51.940 the russian aristocracy in this um we can afford the private security so we're going to get the

00:24:58.320 private security and we're going to then lean into the causes yeah we support black lives matter 0.91

00:25:02.180 decolonialism blah blah blah blah all that sort of nonsense uh because we are materially able to 0.98

00:25:07.100 do so right we have the luxury of supporting this because we can afford the armed guards yes to

00:25:13.160 protect what's ours and you're just uh left to the tender mercies of the mob but what we see is that

00:25:18.660 those people that they've put all that funding into and do not have gratitude in the slightest

00:25:24.340 about it. It doesn't matter how much money you chuck at these people. And this comes back to

00:25:28.880 the demands that the students are making. It doesn't matter if the French upped it to 50%

00:25:34.020 of GDP. Oh no, it's 55% already. Right, sorry. So it'd have to be 60% of GDP. Sorry, to 60%. 0.72

00:25:39.740 It wouldn't matter. Yeah, no, no, not at all. A president of the Union of Hotel Trades and

00:25:45.560 Industries reported that his colleagues have told him that they are going to arm themselves and set

00:25:50.400 up militias in front of the establishments in response to the riots. Just so we're clear,

00:25:55.300 when the business community starts organizing its own forces, that is the nucleus of the future

00:26:02.560 right-wing militias that are going to be fighting in a civil war. This is what you're seeing. This

00:26:08.340 is the beginning of a civil war. Stop it now. Deport them now or end up a civil war. It's a

00:26:13.720 It's a tacit admission that the state has failed.

00:26:15.760 Yes.

00:26:16.260 And the riots might die down for a few months over winter.

00:26:21.700 But come spring, it's going to be the same thing all over again.

00:26:24.520 Yes.

00:26:24.980 And in spring, there's the presidential election.

00:26:27.260 Le Pen wins.

00:26:28.060 They kick off.

00:26:29.120 French businesses are setting up militias.

00:26:31.540 Yeah. 0.58

00:26:31.860 That's mad.

00:26:32.720 And you see this comic store owner as well just being an absolute patriot,

00:26:36.880 fighting for his cause.

00:26:37.680 Because as you say, he can't afford protection.

00:26:39.680 Yeah, exactly.

00:26:40.180 famous frank chefs being torn off of statues we have the one guy sorry yeah the true religion of

00:26:47.900 france yeah yeah the true pain that they feel sorry in the gutter and napoleon uh turned up

00:26:54.540 out of nowhere again as if napoleon wouldn't be grape-shotting these people if he was actually

00:26:59.700 here today uh whatever their cause i mean he literally did yes in service of la republique

00:27:05.740 absolutely uh demonstrators chanting louis the 16th we decapitated him macron macron we're going

00:27:11.380 to do it to him again um have a king all of these things anyway um just going through absolute chaos

00:27:19.660 in bordeaux as well because this was not just uh around paris you can see here apocalyptic scenes

00:27:24.980 from leon just fires going everywhere as it goes on uh algerian national anthem being sang outside

00:27:33.920 the consulate how's that integration in real uh the city hall being breached uh like it's under

00:27:40.080 siege we also have this horrible event in dewey uh in which there was um honestly i can't play it but

00:27:47.440 there's a chap outside just like lunging at them with a hammer and you can hear the women screaming

00:27:52.800 it's absolutely horrible uh and then you get the events in rouen where actually there was something

00:27:58.720 of a right-wing pushback

00:28:00.580 by some French patriots

00:28:02.560 in Normandy who

00:28:04.440 basically ran at them and

00:28:06.880 scared a bunch of them off because

00:28:08.780 the moment that you actually

00:28:10.440 yeah, again, they

00:28:12.160 feel secure

00:28:14.520 because they're doing it with this aura

00:28:16.580 of impunity about them. Yeah, because no one's

00:28:19.340 stopping them. 1.00

00:28:20.520 But when the Thermidorians come out 0.99

00:28:22.580 and start contesting 0.99

00:28:24.780 it... Yes.

00:28:26.700 Absolutely. And then

00:28:28.640 obviously this was one of the most heartbreaking things that i've seen in the entire and this was

00:28:33.100 a town hall at limogée uh which was built in um towards the end of the 19th century and was

00:28:39.940 completely burned down the spire collapsing in on itself and bearing in mind that this is

00:28:45.720 survived the franco-prussian war it survived world war one it survived world war two

00:28:50.440 it couldn't survive multiculturalism though i mean it wasn't destroyed by any previous occupiers or

00:28:56.600 combatants because it's a beautiful or was a beautiful but again it is it was a beautiful 0.97

00:29:01.040 building yes full of art um and the the firefighters couldn't save it whatsoever and of course they

00:29:08.540 have absolutely no care for this whatsoever because they talk about well you know there

00:29:13.780 there is a there are poor people in france therefore everything that is beautiful

00:29:18.580 we're allowed we just have license to destroy it this kind of sentiment that they care about

00:29:24.480 old buildings more than they care about you no no no you don't understand like you know i i care 0.94

00:29:28.820 about my flock of sheep more than i care about the wolf yeah i want to shoot the wolf because he is

00:29:34.580 destructive to my flock of sheep i don't i want to protect the building well then you know you

00:29:40.660 take your place in this metaphor yes it's not that i don't it's not i care like seven for you

00:29:46.480 and then ten for the building you're in negative figures yeah quite and the thing is as well that

00:29:53.360 you have this aspect of it where they just say oh well it can just be rebuilt can it help are we

00:29:59.020 honestly saying that the people who have the skills you can't get the artists who yeah exactly

00:30:03.700 not only the skills to make the building we can just reproduce that that can just be reproduced

00:30:09.280 dear chat gpt yeah in 2026 um especially what i understand that they were you know crying out for

00:30:16.280 better education yeah but i don't think it was so that they could actually produce beauty like this

00:30:21.520 it was probably some woke avant-garde crap and you see here as well just irreplaceable bits of art

00:30:28.240 totally burnt away um so yeah total desolation and truly horrible and Stephen Molyneux just 0.63

00:30:35.980 had a great tweet here where he's just saying a thousand year nuclear armed civilization

00:30:39.880 defeated by the word racist which is really the heart of the matter and they are absolutely

00:30:46.820 threatening for these things to get a hundred times worse when le pen becomes president because

00:30:54.080 they all believe that le pen is going to be basically female hitler when in fact what she 0.99

00:31:01.440 is going to do is maybe yeah a little bit tougher on law and order but she's not going to send a 0.61

00:31:07.340 flag yeah yeah as sense yeah some african senegalese chap here as well explaining i don't

00:31:13.780 know senegalese democracy so we can calm down yeah or flippen wins this revolution yeah so

00:31:20.240 and i'm sorry that is just a band-aid that is going to have to be ripped off them

00:31:24.420 yeah that it's that simple uh obviously members of the french public did come out and try and

00:31:30.100 clean up as best as they could but to say that this is just going to keep going and everyone

00:31:37.040 knows it's going to keep going it does it does unfortunately seem like things are going to get

00:31:43.880 a hell of a lot worse and have patriots obviously trying to clean up the Joan of Arc statue but

00:31:50.240 ultimately this is going to keep going and as Martin Selner points out patriots aren't allowed

00:31:56.120 to come to France to actually protest and campaign for re-migration but these people are going to be

00:32:02.340 kept in france hell or high water in order that we can prove that neoliberalism has finally worked

00:32:08.780 well this is just this is what all these people are just acting in concert with the values of

00:32:14.800 the liberal state of france this is what they're here for this is what they're protesting for

00:32:20.080 allegedly uh this is all completely within the bounds of the state morality yeah and they'll say

00:32:25.960 oh well we burnt down that building because we don't care about all buildings we care about people

00:32:30.620 as they destroy livelihoods across france people who spent 30 years decades of their lives trying 1.00

00:32:38.040 to build up businesses and you just take from the french people there and so with all of this

00:32:43.520 carnage with all of this this desolation i just wanted to end this particular segment with this

00:32:48.500 tolkien quote because they go through in the two towers and it says yet also i should be sad said

00:32:53.680 theoden for however the fortune of war shall go may it not so end that much that has been fair

00:32:59.500 and wonderful shall pass forever out of middle earth it may said gandalf the evil of sauron

00:33:05.020 cannot be wholly cured nor made as if it has not been but to such days we are doomed and that is

00:33:12.660 unfortunately the truth of it we have lost a great deal already and we will lose more before the end

00:33:19.800 of that but these are the times that we we live in and we will salvage what we may and protect who

00:33:25.940 we can whilst it continues uh based apes says send in the written house division yeah man all

00:33:33.360 i rooftop koreans no no in in camp of the saints you've got a character called colonel dragazes

00:33:38.860 and uh he just takes whatever he can of the army down to just shoot them and in them the unarmed

00:33:45.200 women and children who are not just rampaging and looting it'd be way more easily justified let's

00:33:50.200 let's move on samson sorry i know we've got a lot of super chats but we haven't got a lot of time

00:33:53.560 because a lot's happened um right so let's talk about the reaction to the chaos um because this

00:34:00.860 was the first and for me the most striking question that macron asks uh when we saw the

00:34:06.400 images we all thought what was in their heads how can french people do this to france and as you 0.55

00:34:10.600 pointed out uh they're not like you and they you don't understand them macron is macron is a p

00:34:16.260 is a phd in philosophy i think it is phd i think it is yeah like he's hegel and machiavelli yeah

00:34:21.700 Macron is a very smart guy

00:34:24.340 And he is sat there saying

00:34:26.620 I do not understand these people

00:34:28.140 The leading

00:34:29.340 The leading authority on Thucydides

00:34:32.280 In this country votes for the Greens

00:34:33.900 How?

00:34:36.660 I know

00:34:37.160 I know

00:34:38.440 I love Thucydides

00:34:40.980 Yes, I know

00:34:43.580 These people are genuinely 1.00

00:34:46.240 Retarded no matter what level of 1.00

00:34:48.240 They obtain 1.00

00:34:49.600 But if I may as well, when he says, oh, you know, what we saw, like, what's going through their heads, it's like Macron, they keep telling you, you just don't like the answer you're being given.

00:34:59.320 I alluded to this for Allah.

00:35:00.740 Yeah.

00:35:01.260 In the name of Allah.

00:35:02.060 I'm sorry that's inconvenient to your narrative, but they tell you quite openly why they're doing this.

00:35:06.860 Yes. 0.57

00:35:07.340 And so how can French people do this in France?

00:35:09.100 But Macron must be smart enough to understand that the civic identity the French hold for themselves and used to determine what is and is not a Frenchman is a lie that is being revealed to be a lie right now.

00:35:26.740 French civic nationalism doesn't work.

00:35:30.300 Otherwise, this wouldn't be happening.

00:35:31.720 if it did work if the magic the magic words the magic of identity if it was all transferable in

00:35:38.580 the way that they pretend that it is none of this would be going on but as it is and macron must be

00:35:44.020 smart enough to know this but then i say this but the the mysticism of liberalism is such a powerful

00:35:50.360 illusion that it could well be that he just can't perceive this right it could be he can't perceive

00:35:54.760 it but what how can french people do this to france well the easy answer the obvious answer

00:36:00.060 is it's mostly not French people doing it to France.

00:36:04.820 It's mostly foreigners who are pretending are French.

00:36:08.060 This is the limit of French civic nationalism 0.97

00:36:10.520 being revealed to us by the president of France

00:36:13.180 as we watch loads of people waving Algerian flags

00:36:16.360 and singing the Algerian national anthem

00:36:18.020 looting their way across your country. 0.99

00:36:20.520 You don't know what's going on in their heads

00:36:22.500 because you don't understand them.

00:36:24.380 And actually, as you say, you can just listen to them

00:36:26.540 and they will tell you.

00:36:28.020 All you have to do is take them literally.

00:36:29.260 that's all you have to do and at the same time he'll go off to the middle east and he'll try

00:36:33.400 posture at nato as if his cities aren't just being burnt down for the entire world and his

00:36:39.640 france's enemies to see yeah and the next thing he is he gives he gave a speech i had something like

00:36:47.000 17 million people watching right um it was in french so i didn't watch it but i watched parts

00:36:53.080 of it that were translated into english um and this is an interesting one those who sought to

00:36:57.880 bring down the republic will have to answer for it well isn't that interesting now we've entered

00:37:02.740 into a dialectic of bringing down the fifth french republic now melanchon is already in that

00:37:08.660 dialectic melanchon has been saying for a long time he wants the sixth french republic that will

00:37:13.960 better articulate the values of the french revolution and now macron is engaging in this

00:37:18.000 dialectic and the question is who is stronger yeah well it's not macron he is the least popular

00:37:24.360 politician in all of France, even less popular than people like Mélenchon. He is inappropriate

00:37:30.000 in his position. He shouldn't be there. He only got there because of an alliance with the far left.

00:37:34.200 Everyone knows that the moment is pregnant with change towards the right, and Macron is the person

00:37:40.320 who's holding it up. He cannot muster the force of France. He can't muster the force of will

00:37:44.640 to deploy the army, although like a mate, well I mean they did deploy a lot of police, but

00:37:49.720 an actual proper hard force to stop this from happening he can't muster the will to do it and

00:37:55.360 he wouldn't have political capital or credibility even if he could and yet he refuses to step aside

00:38:00.320 he he clings to power with with his fingernails exactly because he wants the power he will never

00:38:07.000 just get rid of it willingly well he'll never be anywhere near this position ever again i mean

00:38:11.100 macron's only in his 40s he's not even very old if he was smart he would have stepped down

00:38:16.640 like five years ago and then built himself back up so when he was like you know 55 60 he could

00:38:23.580 have come back said actually i've got experience i know how to fix these things but instead he's

00:38:27.320 chosen to try and bullheadedly just resist everything well no now you're debating the

00:38:31.720 end of your republic macron right this is the dialectic you are in and the stronger party will

00:38:36.700 win so what's macron's choice well we've got to curtail civil liberties obviously we have to 0.95

00:38:42.860 obviously because of rioting students and foreigners the average frenchman has to lose

00:38:49.340 his civil liberties i think actually this is an amazing admission of weakness and it shows that 0.73

00:38:56.300 the fifth republic actually is on its way out and hasn't got long for this world but anyway 0.64

00:39:01.240 counterpoint deport all the migrants and keep your civil liberties keep your republic yeah uh but no

00:39:07.400 he's not going to do that right in fact he uh he doesn't even uh he doesn't even um

00:39:13.960 there was an update to but he didn't even uh declare a state of emergency he refused to do

00:39:22.400 that yeah because he says we all feel anger and shame over the violence but does not declare a

00:39:28.960 state of emergency i mean what would you need for it to be a state of emergency if this not yet at

00:39:35.820 some point the french military is going to step in well they've already been warning about it

00:39:39.900 when they do they won't need the french politicians no and if they've got any sense

00:39:44.300 they'll hang a bunch of them yeah uh so what they're afraid of is recognizing how dire this is

00:39:51.900 they're just hoping that winter covers it up for a little while longer lets them keep on pushing 0.51

00:39:57.020 with the war with russia with the immigration with the looting with all of that stuff 0.55

00:40:01.740 and then when the time comes with wealth redistribution and then when the confrontation

00:40:07.240 happens the French military will have absolutely no need and no patience for these people

00:40:11.680 the question is which level of officers will be in on it and which will be executed etc

00:40:19.300 wasn't it in was it 2022 when the French general a bunch of I think it was 20

00:40:24.280 the open letter yes open letter for French generals saying we're on the cusp of civil war

00:40:29.560 we have to do something now etc they were ignored and and it was buried and now Macron is on the

00:40:37.780 cusp of losing his republic anyway right so there have been lots of statements uh Marine Le Pen put

00:40:42.720 out a statement saying the legitimate social demands have once again been taken hostage by

00:40:46.580 the extreme left and the speeches of the deputies of Jean-Luc Mélenchon who by legitimizing violence

00:40:51.200 considering order as an oppression and disorder as a right seek to precipitate the country in chaos

00:40:56.240 i don't like that framing at all um is it legitimate social demands that are being made

00:41:02.460 in what more could what more of the french economy could still be taken over by the state

00:41:10.800 oh 45 percent so we know exactly how much yes apparently apparently the minority of it so

00:41:19.040 it's it's just insane it's just insane le pen is not the right person for this moment yeah this

00:41:25.420 this is a very wishy-washy statement that seeks to somehow like bring the students and foreigners

00:41:31.300 over to her side you of course saw the clip where she said well you know half the muslims are

00:41:36.140 thinking of leaving if i win don't worry i view muslims to be just as french as anyone else or 0.99

00:41:40.020 something to that effect yes they're not completely compatible with france yeah and don't get me

00:41:45.620 wrong i'm not saying you should come on tv and make extremely hard right statements but that's

00:41:51.140 not that i mean that's just literally macron's opinion on islam in france that's melanchol's

00:41:57.000 opinion on islam in france so it's weird that she committed to that plantation of ideas

00:42:03.900 it's a merger didn't exactly exactly so more hasn't rupert lowe hasn't no you know the options

00:42:12.400 are there um but uh but isn't isn't that interesting that that was her uh position

00:42:19.880 So there are other figures on the right and centre-right.

00:42:23.760 Bruno Retaglio is the leader of Les Republicans.

00:42:27.440 He demanded a forceful response to the rioters,

00:42:29.580 but argued that they deserve imprisonment,

00:42:31.180 which I think is too good for them.

00:42:33.060 He condemned Macron's speech.

00:42:34.920 He called for a declaration of a state of emergency,

00:42:37.120 which would make sense.

00:42:39.120 Eric Ciotti, mayor of Nice, who's an ally of Marine Le Pen,

00:42:43.860 called it red fascism, as if all bad things are to the right.

00:42:49.080 Yeah, that's really tiresome framing.

00:42:50.920 Yeah, really, really tiresome framing. 0.96

00:42:53.140 These people are just spiritually weak.

00:42:55.000 Well, they're liberals. 0.97

00:42:56.800 Same thing.

00:42:58.120 And it's the thing,

00:42:58.740 Zamora is like the one non-liberal politician in France, it seems.

00:43:01.900 It's just lots and lots of different factions

00:43:04.380 pointing at one another,

00:43:05.700 accusing one another of being fascist.

00:43:07.700 Yeah.

00:43:08.140 From every side of the aisle.

00:43:09.600 Accusing one another.

00:43:10.500 What do they mean when they say fascist?

00:43:12.100 Remember, the fascists were an explicit reaction

00:43:14.820 from socialists, out of socialism.

00:43:17.140 what they're accusing them of is betraying the revolution right that's what all of these are

00:43:21.480 it's all you're betraying the revolution the revolutionary principles are actually meant

00:43:24.680 to be articulated in this way and not that way you've betrayed the revolution that's what it

00:43:28.220 boils down to um anyway the socialists in the center left uh you've got rafael gluxman uh who's

00:43:34.680 a presidential contender for the center left he again has they are they are committing to the

00:43:40.100 republic as it stands on the plus side uh he's condemned the violence you know asked for a return

00:43:45.480 to calm. You've got the first secretary of the

00:43:47.340 Socialist Party, Olivier Farrer.

00:43:49.320 Farrer, I think it is. Condemned

00:43:51.340 the rioting and demanded

00:43:53.040 substantial changes to public order

00:43:55.160 policing.

00:43:57.200 Good luck. Solve everything.

00:43:59.660 Argued the police strategy

00:44:00.800 should be to prioritise de-escalation.

00:44:04.200 Please don't loot

00:44:05.380 that shop. Oh, like that woman 1.00

00:44:07.360 was trying to do. Like that woman was trying to do, yeah. 1.00

00:44:09.320 Weirdly, that didn't work. You've got 1.00

00:44:11.440 lots of mayors and other prominent local politicians.

00:44:13.420 You've got, say, Emmanuel Gregoire.

00:44:15.480 the socialist mayor of paris who strongly condemned looting and property destruction because

00:44:19.920 and it's very interesting how the uh the the structure of the the state integrates all of

00:44:26.140 these people who if they were on the outside they'd be calling for more but suddenly the honor

00:44:29.980 that's actually my responsibility i'm the mayor of paris even though i'm a socialist please don't

00:44:34.300 you can't look because that threatens my position if i wasn't the mayor of palace paris i don't

00:44:41.060 out they'd be yelling uh anyway he rejected the government's attempt to to blame lfi for violence

00:44:48.360 so lfi are melanchon's party uh it means france unbowed which is a really interesting thing for

00:44:55.440 the radical left to take a hold of it's like we're taking hold of what true france is the true

00:45:00.500 revolution is my universalist communistic insane left-wing position looks like a conquered nation

00:45:07.040 does unbowed yes it does yes um but the the socialist mayor of paris said no it's not

00:45:12.640 lfi's fault that this has happened which is interesting um you've got the mayor of marseille

00:45:17.860 who's independent left-winger condemned the destruction of public buildings expressed

00:45:21.640 anger at the policing called for compensation for effective businesses and then accused the

00:45:25.700 far right of conflating legitimate social protests with criminal violence so yeah but they're

00:45:29.960 literally merged together and always have been and use one in order to deflect yes this is the

00:45:37.020 thing i i'm gonna do a segment melanchol did on the left and islam and how they perfectly map onto

00:45:42.180 each other uh beginning with the ease with which they legitimize violence uh the marriage of these

00:45:48.780 two things is kind of natural and islam is just sort of organized crime i mean you know you get 0.95

00:45:55.280 to loot you get to take the women you get to do whatever you want that's i don't think we'll put 0.90

00:45:59.260 that on youtube yeah maybe 45 minutes in make a note

00:46:04.220 mind gregory doucet the green mayor of lyon uh again condemned the violence and the vandalism

00:46:13.660 of public buildings but expressed concern that protesters have been endangered and so i think

00:46:17.500 they may have done that to themselves um you've got all of this carrying on right the the only

00:46:22.720 one i found really interesting was the mayor of limoges uh who had really harsh words about

00:46:27.100 melanchon uh he said there are no words hard enough against uh france unbattled the legitimized

00:46:34.440 violence they are seditious they have been outside the republican field for a long time

00:46:39.000 isn't that interesting so uh anyway we've got uh quite a few statements from melanchon who

00:46:45.820 doesn't seem very upset by what's going on no that's smoke he he does come across as very

00:46:53.280 smoke doesn't he he he see it seems to him that uh you know he thinks that everything is going

00:46:59.280 great but remember i must answer for a strategy that i never approved i am forced to feel in

00:47:04.660 solidarity with those with those thousands of people in the demonstrations who found themselves

00:47:10.420 tear gassed and attacked from all sides beating the batons for no reason whatsoever and i support

00:47:15.800 the youth and student movement and their demands but i don't approve of their methods well that's

00:47:20.160 a very nice get out clause isn't it it's a very nice yeah no no i of course i support them but

00:47:24.540 i don't think they should have been burning down these buildings and remember as i said he wants

00:47:28.080 to establish the sixth republic right so he is not happy with the constitutional settlement in

00:47:32.760 and for him this is popular power this is essentially popular power but he has to

00:47:36.900 absolutely sort of say window dressing things like oh but don't be that violent you know i

00:47:41.900 don't agree with the methods but i definitely agree with the aims and i support the people so

00:47:46.320 So, I mean, yeah, it looks to me like he's supporting this.

00:47:51.420 Then you have an interview that he did.

00:47:53.960 Again, it was in French, but I got it translated.

00:47:56.360 And he said, well, look, I'm not taking the side of the rioters.

00:47:59.840 The word side is detestable in this affair.

00:48:02.720 Oh, right, okay.

00:48:05.840 That's very slick.

00:48:07.500 Got to give him credit.

00:48:08.700 You know, he's a very well-educated man.

00:48:10.580 So he's saying, well, the real division is the population against the government,

00:48:14.660 against the rich against the elite it's like okay that's typical socialist rhetoric um but it seems

00:48:19.780 to be the normal people against the foreigners and students uh and when asked whether he would 0.98

00:48:25.540 endorse the slogan all cops are bastards he says it depends on the day and the hour when asked about 0.97

00:48:30.580 his involvement he says we do not direct the popular movement it's like oh okay yeah i believe 0.99

00:48:35.700 you but he did make a series of demands ah so he's not directing it but he is in a position to make

00:48:41.620 demands on behalf of it he wants a freeze on fuel prices uh compensation shopkeepers who are

00:48:47.640 devastated by looting i mean maybe if they weren't looted that wouldn't be a problem that that implies

00:48:51.260 that this is only going to happen once yes like we're only ever going to have to compensate them

00:48:55.380 once this isn't going to happen for years and years to come but again if the point is growing

00:48:59.540 the state until it eventually encompasses and consumes the entire society then maybe he does

00:49:04.840 want this to happen yeah i guess so um but the the final thing and this was the interesting thing

00:49:08.680 because I didn't know anything about this,

00:49:10.100 is the abolition of something called Parcousseau.

00:49:14.100 Parcousseau?

00:49:14.660 I don't know how it's pronounced.

00:49:15.680 What does that even mean?

00:49:16.700 So this is France's university admissions platform, right?

00:49:19.980 And it's because he wants university education to be a right,

00:49:23.780 not a privilege.

00:49:24.780 He thinks that Parcousseau reinforces class inequality.

00:49:28.380 France should expand its universities

00:49:29.700 rather than ration the places.

00:49:31.520 Again, this wouldn't be a problem 0.95

00:49:32.340 if you didn't have mass immigration, I imagine. 1.00

00:49:34.140 And that education should change fundamentally

00:49:36.740 to stop being a competitive selection process.

00:49:41.160 And so he objects to the platform and wants to replace it

00:49:43.060 with something that just means everyone goes to university.

00:49:44.960 What does that do?

00:49:45.700 So PACUSOP is actually genuinely terrible.

00:49:47.920 Oh, I'm sure it is.

00:49:48.600 The new system that they have.

00:49:49.500 I'm sure everything that the government does.

00:49:50.360 Because it was trying to make things a little bit more equal.

00:49:54.060 Oh, yeah.

00:49:54.460 And because the system in France was too selective

00:49:56.420 to get into the best schools.

00:49:57.660 Yes.

00:49:58.100 So this is less selective and it's worse

00:50:00.780 and he wants it to be even worse and less selective.

00:50:03.340 Yes.

00:50:03.680 Because that's the only way that some groups

00:50:06.180 will actually enter university so that going to university has no prestige anymore exactly and

00:50:11.120 precisely yes they hate any notion of hierarchy order decency goodness yes all these things are

00:50:18.080 bad his express his express stated reason is that reinforces class inequalities so he couldn't be

00:50:23.520 any more clear he couldn't be any more of a doctrinaire socialist on this regard um but

00:50:27.340 also what's that going to do well it's going to create even larger cohorts of students to go out

00:50:31.120 and riot that's what's going to turn more and more of the country entire generations into

00:50:35.740 universally educated and indoctrinated activists to go out and riot with the other foreigners 0.98

00:50:39.880 to eventually tear down the fifth republic to create his sixth republic that's the plan that's

00:50:44.700 he's saying it um he's repeatedly called the police savages this was from the first of october

00:50:49.760 um he uh he's called for supporters to quote interpose themselves in the face of police

00:50:56.300 savagery. Now, he did say using non-violent means, but okay, so interposer face la savagery

00:51:05.000 policière. And then on August 9th, he wrote on his blog that all power fears the revolts

00:51:12.040 of the youth. And he said it was a conspiracy that he was in some way involved in organizing

00:51:18.300 or ginning up these revolts. Now, lots of other people do not agree with him. Many politicians

00:51:24.880 have said well actually if you look and not as politicians journalists as well and so if you

00:51:29.660 look at his statements over the years well and not just his but the the statements of prominent

00:51:35.320 members of lfi uh you've got violence can be legitimate uh we must demonstrate the lc and we

00:51:40.660 will not play firefighters and we'll do nothing to try and hold back the revolution uh not all of

00:51:46.060 these are recent this article points out some date back to the ancient days of the 2023 riots

00:51:53.900 so there's just this underlying philosophy of accelerationism yes beneath the surface yes it

00:52:00.860 very much is um and so the the point is yeah this is this has been his position for a long time

00:52:08.640 and melaton has himself a formula a saying and it's kind of like curtis yarbin saying

00:52:15.160 he says quote kill the citadel now for him the citadel is the state and structure and institutions

00:52:21.380 of france right this these things he's not asking for the modern bastille the modern bastille yes 0.81

00:52:27.700 uh this this is what he instructs his followers to kill um now of course he's not asking for

00:52:34.380 someone to be murdered directly at the moment this time but um but he's raging against a citadel

00:52:42.020 that brought in a whole swathe of his voters yeah but it only only went halfway to getting the job

00:52:49.260 done right it's the the problem the french government have is that they are the government 0.82

00:52:53.840 of the revolution they are the fifth french republic how many you know god damn how many

00:52:57.780 revolutions of france have all the way from 1789 through the 19th century um and now the

00:53:06.300 melanchol is literally just following in that tradition saying well we were promised liberty

00:53:11.240 fraternity and equality and we don't have it yeah and these structures need to go so the sixth

00:53:16.220 republic can get its get as far along that road as possible so why would i not find this to be a

00:53:24.220 commanding position in french politics with this treatment i mean and in a way he probably doesn't

00:53:29.160 need to actually conspire or organize or anything like that all he has to do is show that they have

00:53:34.280 political representation rhetorically for them to know okay if we were to overthrow the republic

00:53:42.220 Well, we know who we're going to put in charge.

00:53:44.120 We know we've got the guy.

00:53:46.220 We know who is going to take control of the government.

00:53:50.560 Anyway, so that's the reaction from France.

00:53:52.520 The reaction in Britain was for the BBC to describe them as mostly peaceful protests.

00:53:57.500 Let's watch this.

00:53:59.460 In Paris and beyond, half a million people had filled cities across France

00:54:04.240 to protest over the future of their country.

00:54:08.000 They were mostly peaceful, but as we saw in the capital,

00:54:11.700 In the wings were those who wanted to take advantage of the disorder.

00:54:16.120 Oh, those awful people who just wanted to take advantage of the mostly peaceful disorder.

00:54:22.520 I love the BBC footage. It's all just chaos.

00:54:24.760 Notice the bottles of Lefe on the ground.

00:54:28.340 The bottles of what?

00:54:29.300 Beer.

00:54:29.920 Oh, right, okay.

00:54:31.040 Very nice beer.

00:54:32.040 Oh, right, okay. I'm not familiar.

00:54:33.400 I saw it. I can't remember which one it was, but there was an American news outlet as well

00:54:37.780 that described them as scuffles.

00:54:41.100 Scuffles.

00:54:41.700 just scuffle throughout the country uh then you have a sort of british libtard class i think this

00:54:47.140 is well represented by nick cohen here if jean-luc melaton gets into the 2027 presidential

00:54:52.700 runoff le pen will win by a landslide and that will be france europe and ukraine effed

00:54:57.240 that's not effed nope it literally he's quoting an image of the leman town hall collapsing saying

00:55:07.600 well, if that Le Pen wins, we're really in trouble.

00:55:12.340 So the slightest whiff of stronger nationalism

00:55:16.840 is enough of a threat for Nick Cohen.

00:55:20.200 But this isn't France being effed.

00:55:23.980 The left destroying things across France. 0.98

00:55:27.300 Is France not being screwed up? 0.95

00:55:29.940 It's if someone tries to prevent that. 0.97

00:55:31.680 Yes.

00:55:32.080 If someone tries to hold back the revolution

00:55:33.840 that France is truly in trouble.

00:55:37.660 Then you have, I mean, this is just, we saw this earlier, 1.00

00:55:40.320 but there were loads and loads and loads and loads of not just French,

00:55:43.560 but kind of international communists being like, yep, see,

00:55:45.920 everything we do is justified and screw your building.

00:55:47.900 It's an icon of inequality. 0.94

00:55:50.640 And then you had like third worldists saying, well, look, 0.96

00:55:52.740 this is the karma of colonization. 1.00

00:55:54.600 It's going to happen to the UK and it's going to get worse and worse.

00:55:57.120 And in a way, they're kind of right.

00:55:59.980 We imposed ourselves on their civilizations.

00:56:02.860 We then lied to ourselves and said, well, if we just stop doing that,

00:56:06.240 then we become atomized equals and they'll forgive us and just be liberated individuals at the end

00:56:14.480 of history and they they're telling us no we've got our national flags we've got our national

00:56:19.360 sentiments and we're angry that you nationally humiliated us for however many hundreds of years

00:56:24.700 during the age of empire and so when you bring us to your country what do you we don't leave that 1.00

00:56:31.280 behind no you you freaks you idiots apparently this guy's an indian uh yeah yeah you know he's 0.99

00:56:38.280 just but this is what all of these third world countries believe they all understand the algerian 1.00

00:56:43.600 national identity is entirely built on the struggle against the french absolutely yeah

00:56:47.480 there is nothing else it was created by the french yes by being present so you're french

00:56:53.080 or we are we're algerians because before then they didn't i mean like um it was just a city

00:56:57.500 It wasn't a country.

00:56:58.580 Frantz Fanon talks about the creation of the Algerian national identity as a national identity

00:57:03.660 and the struggle that he had in making it a national identity rather than a regional or tribal identity.

00:57:10.020 And he speaks about this in The Wretched of the Earth,

00:57:12.420 about how they have to raise the consciousness of the Algerians to be Algerian rather than just being tribes.

00:57:21.020 And so he's kind of right about this.

00:57:24.180 you know these nationalities were brought into being by exposure to the europeans and the idea

00:57:29.160 of nationhood bringing them to your country is kind of a karma of colonization that is kind of

00:57:36.660 true it was a really silly decision to have made anyway i thought the best uh response and

00:57:41.720 intervention for this was by naib bekeli my favorite dictator no he's not a dictator i'm

00:57:46.320 just joking obviously a man who just keeps winning elections and gets a 90 approval rating

00:57:50.880 for clearing up el salvador and he says this i've heard it said that france has finished

00:57:55.140 that it's too late to savor but france remains just as beautiful enviable even the greatness

00:57:59.600 hasn't vanished it only waits for birth we overcame in a single year a problem a hundred

00:58:03.540 times more severe without having resources at france's disposal france could manage it in a

00:58:08.440 week this is correct it is all about leadership it is all about will but the problem is the french

00:58:13.940 are locked into their historic revolutionary framework and have nowhere to go within it it's

00:58:19.920 only someone who could step outside of that that would be able to actually fix the problem a genuine

00:58:24.820 reactionary a genuine reactionary yeah anyway we'll leave that there and again we'll have to

00:58:31.800 move on all right uh so this isn't just a french problem as you might have known uh in milan in

00:58:41.500 in milan in italy you are seeing the same thing riots largely by a coalition of leftist travel

00:58:48.740 rousers and migrants. They were attacking the Domo, one of the most beautiful cathedrals

00:58:54.720 in the world in Italy and rioting around there in Milan. And some of the locals intervened

00:59:00.960 and started tossing plates at them from the balconies. So at least there's that going

00:59:06.600 for the Italians. In Brussels, we saw this whole thing on the 9th of October, where you 1.00

00:59:14.000 had riots again same kinds of groups ethnic and uh left-wing riots are common in brussels yes

00:59:20.560 this happens a lot yes uh it had happened in the in june and it's happening now and it like they're

00:59:27.100 redesigning the area around the eu commission to make it less prone to attacks by rioters

00:59:33.220 uh hopefully they will introduce canon but you know we'll see um and then but that's that's not 0.82

00:59:41.520 to worry because tom harwood points out that thankfully thankfully in britain the muslim

00:59:49.780 population is just six percent it's not it's not like eight point five percent in germany or ten

00:59:55.380 percent in france okay so just and it will never get higher even even if it was well tom harwood's

01:00:01.780 statistic is not correct no it was six point five percent in the 2021 census that is before the

01:00:07.500 boris wave and that is not counting the illegals who of course didn't fill out the census so it

01:00:12.640 was higher than six percent in 2020 when the census was taken in 2021 when it was published

01:00:17.520 and we don't know how many illegals there are they think somewhere between north of a million

01:00:22.540 maybe well that's not true so obviously there's millions more illegals than that so actually the

01:00:27.300 population the muslim population of britain is probably around eight or nine percent we don't

01:00:32.080 know because the statistics are not gathered reliably but it is definitely not just six percent

01:00:36.860 and in germany and france it's going to be higher as well for the same reasons

01:00:40.780 the implication being that it's just you know the percentages are all that matters here

01:00:46.100 but and nothing else is of consideration let's assume they do if at 10 this is what they're doing

01:00:50.940 tom yeah as you've pointed out there exactly yeah exactly it's it's a genuinely yeah genuinely 0.97

01:00:57.960 idiotic take uh because it can very easily happen in britain and we've seen in britain some kind of 0.91

01:01:05.400 uh uh some foreshadowing of this after after the the murder of axel uh the murders by axel 0.99

01:01:13.000 rudikabana exactly the media created the sort of muslim defense force that went out on the street

01:01:19.400 and beat people up 0.69

01:01:20.140 and smash them up. 1.00

01:01:20.620 Let's fucking have it! 1.00

01:01:21.660 Yep. 0.99

01:01:22.400 And you see them...

01:01:24.440 In fact, this is it.

01:01:27.400 This is it.

01:01:27.860 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:28.240 This is it.

01:01:28.700 You see them running around,

01:01:30.060 attacking, 0.92

01:01:30.700 beating the crap out of people. 0.98

01:01:32.120 Here in England. 0.99

01:01:32.960 In England.

01:01:34.540 And the police just sort of

01:01:36.540 stand around idly

01:01:37.900 and do...

01:01:39.540 and do very little.

01:01:42.300 Yeah.

01:01:45.820 Happened again.

01:01:46.960 They said that they were

01:01:48.340 the Muslim Defence League.

01:01:49.400 They were marching around with their tekbirs, with their chants, with all of that, 0.97

01:01:55.620 spilling out of the mosques and running around and attacking. 0.99

01:01:58.420 Please leave your weapons at the mosque.

01:02:00.140 Yep, yep. I've got that one as well. I've got that one as well. 0.67

01:02:03.280 They were protesting in Bolton, in other areas, beating up people just because they were British.

01:02:11.200 I mean, this does happen. This does happen.

01:02:15.920 and uh they are well organized and they are quite violent and aggressive oh yeah well that previous

01:02:23.500 one was uh they were they just walked past the pub and there was a guy at the pub that they beat up

01:02:28.620 yep and hospitalized just because he was english and not involved in anything

01:02:32.940 he didn't he wasn't out protesting no he was just standing in the pub and they walk in and

01:02:39.540 they saw attacking him so you see this level of violence that is latent here in britain already

01:02:57.020 it's racial violence they targeted that is fundamentally racial violence it is completely

01:03:02.140 racial violence and you know the the media tries to cover up this kind of stuff but they uh they

01:03:08.060 remind them they do their best sly news will do their best to pretend that this isn't happening

01:03:13.280 and that's what leaders have been speaking to the police as well because

01:03:17.140 i think apologies for the language you're hearing but a sense of the anger i think you can hear

01:03:26.880 yeah katie i think we becky i apologize we uh need to um leave you there i find the um

01:03:33.860 the fact that they they f the edl yeah the edl is defunct disbanded years ago yep but it lives

01:03:42.080 in the mind of this community yes as the possibility of organized some kind of organized

01:03:49.540 pushback yeah uh when ukip tried to organize a march through white chapel uh basically the

01:03:57.820 police had to prevent it because they knew that there were going to be ethnic riots as a result

01:04:02.820 no no gozones absolutely not uh this is the same area to white chaplain it feels like a

01:04:09.300 yeah completely i used to live there actually and uh it was right next to my house where

01:04:15.380 you had people conducting sharia patrols trying to stop drunken people attack them

01:04:22.980 be quite aggressive and violent uh so this is a completely fallen area and who can forget 0.98

01:04:30.100 a Muslim police officer saying to the Muslim rioters 0.88

01:04:35.420 or would-be rioters, leave your weapons in the mosque. 0.94

01:04:40.020 This is the reaction. 0.68

01:04:41.580 Mosques turned into armories.

01:04:43.140 Yes.

01:04:43.500 Amazing.

01:04:44.080 Yes.

01:04:44.700 They always do.

01:04:45.940 They always do.

01:04:47.220 This is the reaction from the community liaison

01:04:49.700 and the British police.

01:04:53.960 And just in case you're wondering how bad things are,

01:04:56.460 Don't forget that the number of jihadis who left Britain to go fight for Islamic State was, in a couple of years' time, twice as many as the total number of Muslims serving in the British Armed Forces.

01:05:14.100 After all of the push. 0.79

01:05:15.940 After all of that push, after all of the drive for diversity, this is what ends up happening.

01:05:22.020 And most of these people have ended up back in Britain.

01:05:26.460 So you have in Britain cells of people, just as you have in France,

01:05:31.120 cells of former jihadis with combat experience in Syria

01:05:34.420 who know how to build bombs, who know how to conduct attacks,

01:05:37.660 who are actually tactically proficient,

01:05:40.100 who are there, who are present,

01:05:42.980 who are probably going to piggyback on any violence and radicalize it.

01:05:48.660 And the Home Office just let them back in.

01:05:51.940 And the Home Office just let them back in.

01:05:53.380 Is it possible to think of a more treacherous outcome?

01:05:58.180 I can give you a couple in a minute.

01:06:00.220 Oh, thanks.

01:06:01.900 I just happen to have them lined up.

01:06:04.240 Let's not forget that there are at least 40,000 to 50,000 Muslims

01:06:07.480 who are on terrorism lists in Britain.

01:06:10.500 40,000 to 50,000.

01:06:12.260 So if these guys were to network in any way,

01:06:14.380 if they were to organize in any way,

01:06:15.880 if for a moment the state lost its grip,

01:06:18.860 that's it.

01:06:20.260 You will see much worse violence.

01:06:22.060 Think of the size of the Free Palestine marches through London.

01:06:25.560 Exactly.

01:06:26.180 They can get very large numbers out.

01:06:28.600 Yes.

01:06:29.060 Very large. 0.96

01:06:30.080 And it will be the same exact playbook of the lunatics of the far left, 0.92

01:06:35.320 Jeremy Corbyn, Zach Polanski, these other... 0.84

01:06:39.360 Zach Polanski would absolutely...

01:06:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:06:41.580 These other lunatics joining with the Islamists, 1.00

01:06:44.740 as they all have always done, 0.99

01:06:46.620 Corbyn's friends in Hamas.

01:06:49.000 This is going to be a disaster going forward. 0.96

01:06:51.260 Yeah.

01:06:51.540 And let's not forget that even in 2014, the estimated number, according to a Muslim MP, of Muslims who went to fight for the jihadis was twice the official estimate. 0.63

01:07:05.620 And odds are it's higher still.

01:07:08.280 And odds are it's higher still.

01:07:10.580 So these guys are still around.

01:07:11.740 And then when you look at the intelligence agencies, well, RUSI lets us know that thankfully the top priority is diversity and increasing diversity.

01:07:21.540 and also keeping an eye on the far right yes and keeping an eye on the far right because if you read

01:07:25.940 tolkien or if you read douglas mary uh you are in fact far right yeah uh mi5 has stopped recruit

01:07:34.020 recruiting whites and you can imagine what kind of uh conflicts of loyalties that is going to

01:07:41.300 generate that's your bigger act of treason yet mi5's constraining its recruitment process to 0.79

01:07:46.660 to focus on hiring for people

01:07:47.820 from black, Asian, or minority ethnic backgrounds.

01:07:50.400 That is wild. 1.00

01:07:51.920 That's insane.

01:07:52.880 They relaxed the requirements

01:07:54.320 so that you just had to have

01:07:55.600 a demonstrable attachment to Britain.

01:07:58.380 You didn't even have to have British citizenship.

01:08:00.960 You could just be renting somewhere,

01:08:02.880 and that is an attachment to Britain.

01:08:04.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:05.420 Yeah, yeah.

01:08:06.220 That's insane.

01:08:07.080 That's how bad it is.

01:08:08.460 And it's not just the security services,

01:08:12.580 it's also the police,

01:08:13.420 who are increasingly obsessed with DEI, with diversity, and all of that.

01:08:19.420 And have been for many years.

01:08:19.900 And have been for many years.

01:08:21.520 This is their strategy from 2017, covering 2018 to 2025,

01:08:26.460 explaining how really the top priority now,

01:08:31.400 embedding diversity, equality, and inclusion into all that we do

01:08:34.320 is an essential ingredient for success.

01:08:37.080 And fundamental to this is an effective coordination committee

01:08:39.760 that influences our work within the NPCC.

01:08:43.420 and through individual organizations.

01:08:45.960 The DEI Coordination Committee will own, develop, and deliver a strategy

01:08:50.180 to make the police much more diverse, to dilute the loyalty of the police. 0.99

01:08:54.300 But all they're admitting to is the fact that all of the foreign cohorts in the country 0.98

01:08:59.000 don't consent to being policed by actual Brits. 1.00

01:09:01.700 Yes, but the police themselves act like they don't have authority over these communities, 1.00

01:09:07.120 which is like, oh, I need to get brown police now, 1.00

01:09:08.960 because otherwise they won't accept the legitimate authority of the British police. 0.91

01:09:11.640 but this is this is no different to macron's view of civic nationalism yes that is okay well we

01:09:18.800 this is actually them taking it very seriously without explicitly stating you know ideologically

01:09:24.700 that's what they're doing this is the act of them taking it seriously yeah yeah so with institutions

01:09:31.260 like this you can imagine what kind of response will happen if there was mass unrest and if the

01:09:38.160 had these were to piggyback on that kind of mass unrest because they will see an opportunity and

01:09:43.600 they will say well you know what can we do here and it will turn absolutely disastrous yeah uh

01:09:50.900 and the outcome of this kind of policing we see it all the time we saw it with henry novak yeah

01:09:55.200 yeah that was horrible we saw all of this stuff we know how it plays out and we know that the 0.71

01:10:00.940 migrants know the magic words to use yes and we know that they know the magic words to be in favor 0.98

01:10:05.840 of the state and they know they know also they've got a a kind of diversity industrial complex at

01:10:12.040 their back yes in the same way that you don't there isn't there aren't legions of particularly

01:10:17.160 interested human rights lawyers yep for someone like henry novak no no there are for vikram digua

01:10:23.100 exactly and you can see from the demographic map how entire parts of britain have been completely

01:10:29.960 transform no no no no this is cunning right so white is suddenly it doesn't look so bad right

01:10:37.720 yeah it doesn't look so bad but when you do this is yeah cunningly hidden because they say oh well

01:10:43.060 if you click through and look around oh now it's white english welsh scottish northern irish so

01:10:48.880 now these areas are right so actually 20 of those areas 25 colonized by europeans french germans

01:10:56.240 right the the actual native British 15% there in Brent yeah the they've

01:11:02.900 deliberately hidden that through multiple layers it'll make it look like

01:11:06.560 it's not as bad as it is and you see once the demographics get that bad the

01:11:11.060 types of representatives that these people put forward Birmingham comes to

01:11:16.880 mind as one example yeah and this was all before the Boris wave and this was

01:11:22.000 before the Boris wave so of course it can happen in Britain and of course you shouldn't be waiting

01:11:28.700 until the percentages are higher and it's not even just an Islam thing no it's not even just

01:11:33.840 a lot of the uh sub-Saharan African communities just sort of get swept up by it and they end up

01:11:41.700 adopting the Islamic lingo because it is how shall I say this nicely intellectually less challenging

01:11:48.980 and so right this is this is an issue that i've had trying to explain to american commentators

01:11:55.420 yes so americans are very ideological people yes they are marinated in either republican or

01:12:00.800 democrat ideology and they like engaging on things on the level of ideology because it

01:12:05.920 is something that is chosen and you can change your mind on right you can move in and out of

01:12:11.780 ideology yes uh they don't like talking about ethnic groups because of course they're not

01:12:16.220 chosen you can't move in and out of them and so it's very comfortable for the american right to

01:12:21.340 argue in its kind of anti-racist way yes that oh actually it's just left-wing ideology is the

01:12:26.840 problem so okay so they they love approaching these issues with third worlders through the

01:12:31.900 lens of islam yes okay let's go back to your segment i don't think any of those people were

01:12:37.520 literate let alone able to read the quran let alone have read the quran let alone understand

01:12:44.180 what the Quran is trying to say.

01:12:46.280 Well, they didn't read anything else. That's why they left the books.

01:12:48.780 Exactly. They don't know anything

01:12:50.320 about Islamic jurisprudence. They don't know

01:12:52.240 anything about Islamic philosophy. Now, I'm not saying

01:12:54.080 I'm an expert. I'm not saying I like or respect

01:12:56.240 it, but it is there. Whether you agree

01:12:58.360 with it or not, it is something that's there. 1.00

01:13:00.120 These young people who are running around

01:13:02.200 looting, except the pork products,

01:13:05.000 that they hold as a prejudice,

01:13:06.460 not as a rational understanding

01:13:08.200 of what Muhammad has said in the Quran.

01:13:10.380 They're not arguing from Islam.

01:13:12.780 What they're arguing from is 0.93

01:13:13.900 tribal sentiment and loyalty with islam as a sort of convenient banner that permits cooperation 0.67

01:13:21.740 between them over certain issues it gives them a shared language yes it gives them a shared

01:13:26.460 language it's not that they are islamic in the way that it is an ideology it is just the lived

01:13:32.240 experience that these come from muslim tribes and like they they act in just tribal ways they 0.64

01:13:37.560 acted this way before islam yes right these tribes just had less of a unifying factor behind them 0.83

01:13:43.060 But the Islamic nature, the Islamic layer is just the unifying language they all use to know how to interact with one another. 0.91

01:13:51.280 It isn't because of Islam that they're doing this. 0.86

01:13:54.480 This is because they are tribes from areas of the world that are completely different to northwestern Europe. 0.92

01:14:00.780 The same way that they're not voting green because they care about the environment.

01:14:03.840 Exactly. 0.90

01:14:04.380 They see it as a vehicle for ethnic interests.

01:14:07.080 They see it as a means of redressing grievances. 0.71

01:14:09.500 Islam is useful in that regard 1.00

01:14:12.060 because it is in opposition 1.00

01:14:13.840 to Christian Europeans who colonize

01:14:16.240 them. This is the 0.98

01:14:17.760 entirety of it. It's not based

01:14:20.200 on an in-depth study of the

01:14:22.060 hadith or the Quran. Yeah, they're not scum. 0.99

01:14:23.860 Yes, exactly. 0.90

01:14:25.700 So when you have this 0.72

01:14:27.980 kind of ethnic flare-up, 1.00

01:14:30.600 Islam is the 1.00

01:14:31.520 easiest 1.00

01:14:32.620 banner to carry

01:14:35.920 because it actually gives

01:14:37.980 you enough leeway to use violence and in and and and a legitimate uh friend enemy distinction yeah

01:14:45.160 but even i i think it really does boil down to i mean i don't even know if these people would

01:14:50.640 think or say the word islam when they're doing this right right it'll be habitual saying yeah

01:14:55.660 we did this for Allah or whatever and it'll just be a habitual thing exactly they don't think about 0.63

01:14:59.460 it exactly and they just think hey as you say it just distinguishes friends and enemies yes oh

01:15:03.980 white christians who are not white people who are not holding a palestinian banner enemy white 1.00

01:15:08.800 people are holding a palestinian banner idiots right well not on your side bruv from the 2024 1.00

01:15:13.640 riots exactly uh it's it's it's not where where palestine is concerned they want you to be as 0.99

01:15:19.780 far right as possible oh yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly uh and keep remember these kinds of

01:15:28.040 riots have broken out a bunch of times in the past in Britain. Oh yeah, decades. You had riots

01:15:34.060 in the 70s, you had pretty big riots in 1981. That kicked off because of attempts by the police to

01:15:41.020 enforce basic laws. This was the trigger. Same with the Broadwater riots in, I think, 85, where

01:15:50.200 the police were pursuing a man into his home. His mother was there. She gets a heart attack.

01:15:55.800 and then there were several days of rioting and a police officer was killed so this there is

01:16:03.240 precedent for this and now it's only to go going to get worse yeah and the precedent isn't just

01:16:08.720 from the 80s also from the 2011 riots where a criminal was killed by the police and there were

01:16:16.360 several days of rioting all over london especially especially london i remember watching this at the

01:16:21.540 time and uh one of the bbc reports uh had i think it was i've had interviewed or was the reporter

01:16:27.900 reporting on what they'd said and uh the the reporter was like yeah they're saying to me or

01:16:33.060 something like that um we're in charge now and it was only when you had locals in their area just

01:16:39.480 going out and lining the street so you're not coming down our road but these these people just

01:16:42.880 go off somewhere else they weren't organized they weren't they were just doing what they could for

01:16:46.680 the fun and excitement and energy and for whatever they could loot of getting what they could

01:16:51.240 the Turkish store owners in

01:16:53.800 Dalston all got armed with baseball

01:16:55.740 bats and sticks, stood outside their

01:16:57.820 areas and kept them out. There were loads of white people 1.00

01:16:59.720 doing it as well. Just the dad

01:17:01.600 standing out in the streets like not down our

01:17:03.780 road sunshine.

01:17:05.140 So the ease with which

01:17:07.900 this could break out in Britain is really

01:17:09.820 Yeah, and as in

01:17:11.440 previous times. Exactly.

01:17:13.960 And there hasn't been any integration

01:17:15.820 to speak of that lets you believe actually

01:17:17.720 this time it's going to be fine.

01:17:19.880 And there's nothing there to suggest anything of this sort.

01:17:23.280 Ridiculously optimistic.

01:17:24.360 If anything, people are radicalizing more. 0.65

01:17:25.800 Yes. 1.00

01:17:26.880 Sorry, the mosques in Britain, you know, 0.95

01:17:30.540 are actually pretty hardcore, right-wing, militant.

01:17:35.700 Diobandi and Barveli and with like 10, 15% Salafi. 0.95

01:17:41.700 And the rest being with the Muslim Brotherhood, 1.00

01:17:43.720 which is even worse. 0.99

01:17:45.100 So it's not that there's been any kind of integration

01:17:49.160 or success here so 6.5% doesn't help you in any way even if it were true it only points that okay

01:17:56.040 maybe the problem is three years away rather than an immediate one but that's the best you can say

01:18:00.560 about it tom uh and it's worth remembering you know uh there was a clip that i wanted to add

01:18:08.560 that luca had sent me of some guy who had traveled from britain to france yes while calling for this

01:18:16.000 to repeat in britain he was syrian he was syrian there you go he was uh so like you are already

01:18:23.900 seeing this cross-pollination there and it's only a matter of time well why else do we think that uh

01:18:29.480 that rioting just so happened to go up in milan this weekend of all weekends oh it's because they

01:18:35.920 feel that there is a current third world struggle going on in france right now and this is a perfect

01:18:40.900 time they're seeing the weakness of the french state that is the response they realize oh the

01:18:44.420 Italian state is weak as well and that looks like fun it looks like fun we can get a bunch of free

01:18:49.480 stuff let's just go and do it yeah so I thought it was a good time to refresh our memories on the

01:18:55.340 ease with which the British state can deprive people of citizenship good point as Jabana Mahmood

01:19:01.440 showed us yes yes exactly the only requirement is that the home secretary conclude that

01:19:10.100 citizen deprivation is conducive to the public good that's great oh well that's nothing else

01:19:15.640 that is going to be i didn't realize there is nothing else there is nothing else i didn't

01:19:22.140 realize it was that easy very applicable criteria yeah uh it could be done to anyone who is

01:19:27.700 involved in fraud or false representation or concealment of a material fact while applying

01:19:34.380 for citizenship but that's not the only condition it can be done for any reason if it's believed to

01:19:43.000 be in the public good in theory the secretary of state may not make an order to deprive someone

01:19:48.560 of citizenship if that would make the person in question stateless however however uh she can oh

01:19:59.320 and all she has

01:20:01.980 is she has reasonable

01:20:04.240 grounds for believing that the person

01:20:06.420 is able under the law of a country or

01:20:08.380 territory outside the United Kingdom to become

01:20:10.420 a national of such a country or territory

01:20:12.380 which many of them will be able to

01:20:14.200 because they'll have it by board

01:20:15.540 but literally all of them

01:20:17.520 because all of these countries are based

01:20:20.460 on the right

01:20:22.400 of the blood as you say

01:20:23.280 all of them 0.87

01:20:24.700 India, Pakistan, Bangladesh

01:20:27.540 all of Africa, all of the Middle East. 0.96

01:20:32.120 It is just purely that.

01:20:35.520 It is that easy to deprive people of citizenship under existing laws. 0.99

01:20:39.760 Which is important because when the state says that it can't deport foreign rapists 0.88

01:20:45.440 and when it says that, no, no, there's no way to deport the rape gang's perpetrators, 0.62

01:20:52.580 actually, this is just a choice.

01:20:55.540 this is just a choice by the Home Secretary

01:20:58.720 to keep people like that here

01:21:01.280 and this is Bukele's wider point

01:21:03.280 everything that's happening to us

01:21:05.360 is a result of political choices

01:21:07.180 judging from that framework

01:21:08.960 is it in the public good to deport

01:21:11.120 a rapist permanently

01:21:12.240 I think it's hard to argue no 0.92

01:21:14.440 just as a reasonable person

01:21:16.780 and when you see these people showing their faces

01:21:19.440 in these protests

01:21:20.200 well

01:21:23.200 you can identify all of them

01:21:24.780 And you could argue that it's in the public good to deport everybody there who is unmasked.

01:21:30.420 And just as you can impose no masks on the Patriot platform and all of those guys, you can impose the same here.

01:21:39.580 So confirming Bukele's point, everything done here is a choice.

01:21:46.860 Tolerating this is a political choice. It's an active political choice.

01:21:50.500 they have all the legislation that they need to the extent that they can remove the citizenship

01:21:57.120 of someone who is fully british yeah as they did in the case of this gentleman who happened to just

01:22:03.020 have moved to russia but in revoking his citizenship he is still actually british

01:22:08.160 yes which is what separates him from the others yes exactly not merely administratively yes exactly

01:22:13.920 exactly uh so this is what makes faraj's position on all of this stuff so weak yep

01:22:21.440 when he comes out and says well who is english is just an academic debate same with le pen though

01:22:26.760 isn't it say again same with le pen yes it's exactly the same well muslims are just as french

01:22:31.480 as anyone else this is just weakness these are political choices that are made that have real 0.60

01:22:38.120 consequences the consequence is going to be the the style of french writing that you're seeing

01:22:43.680 right now happening all over england uh but it comes from weakness and it comes from dishonesty

01:22:51.220 so yes it could definitely happen in britain and yes it is a political choice the home secretary

01:22:58.420 could have looked at all of these people saying we're the muslim defense league and deported every

01:23:02.560 last one of them but she chose not to well i can't believe shibana mahoud chose not to deport 0.68

01:23:08.720 all of the writing muslims yes we'll we'll skip the video comments today i'm afraid um because

01:23:13.960 we've run out of time almost um try and get through some of the comments uh sorry that this

01:23:18.460 went on a lot but a lot has happened obviously if i can get the mouse where is the mouse there is

01:23:23.580 um johan says uh johan sorry feras i heard you say something like the beauty of renaissance

01:23:29.860 architecture converted you to catholicism can you do a daily video about it i'm very interested

01:23:34.940 Yeah, I could.

01:23:37.640 And someone's been leaving pallets of glass bottles around Paris.

01:23:41.260 Weird, just like the pallets of bricks left around US cities during the Floyd rise.

01:23:44.540 Yeah, weird, that, isn't it?

01:23:45.980 Weird.

01:23:46.660 How unusual.

01:23:47.980 Yeah.

01:23:50.360 Michael, Jebelis has no sympathy for the woman who is saying this is not the cause.

01:23:55.600 Why has Manchin not been arrested for incitement?

01:23:57.880 Good question.

01:23:59.940 Murmadan asks, why have the French military not been deployed or taken control of the country?

01:24:03.260 I don't see France surviving unless they take

01:24:05.320 hard authoritarian militants' wing to the right 1.00

01:24:07.100 and removes both these marauding migrants

01:24:09.080 and arrest the communist revolutionary agitators 0.91

01:24:10.860 well, that's what they're warning about

01:24:12.920 that's why they signed the open letter saying

01:24:14.900 look, this is coming

01:24:15.980 that's a random name, says

01:24:19.300 any leftist European who suffers from these riots 0.89

01:24:21.480 like that woman at the front of the shop 1.00

01:24:22.940 or the old people won't change their minds 0.89

01:24:24.460 they aren't leftists because they want to help people

01:24:26.620 they're leftists because they want to feel good about themselves

01:24:28.340 therefore always double down on their ideology

01:24:30.540 even when reality inoculates them

01:24:32.320 Yeah, I don't think it's going to change her mind at all 1.00

01:24:35.320 Her political sentiments won't change 0.57

01:24:36.740 She, I mean

01:24:38.260 This is Solzhenitsyn's point

01:24:41.600 Of

01:24:42.080 It doesn't matter

01:24:44.040 They just

01:24:46.340 They've got a way of blocking out reality

01:24:49.540 They can't believe

01:24:51.020 That this is the case

01:24:52.280 And so they externalise it onto the far right

01:24:54.500 Or whatever, the police, or whatever it is

01:24:56.000 It's socioeconomic factors

01:24:57.840 Yeah, it's socioeconomic factors

01:24:59.220 The truth in front of their faces

01:25:02.040 exactly and the the people themselves aren't agents is what they think um furious down points 0.53

01:25:06.840 out that the boomers were dancing in paris to the saints go marching in which is oh really interesting

01:25:13.020 um i remember watching the epochs about the sillians and at one point carl says something 0.93

01:25:18.480 about how it was nice we don't have to worry about hordes of barbarians anymore how things

01:25:21.940 have changed well yeah it's not quite the same uh at least in the case of rampaging horse hordes

01:25:28.360 off the step uh our governments did what they could to resist them even though often they

01:25:32.940 weren't very successful uh they at least didn't just invite them in and give them the keys of

01:25:36.700 the kingdom yes uh chimp says how is the state this is how a state of emergency is created

01:25:42.240 under which elections are suspended yeah it's surprising macron comes out and talks a big game 0.58

01:25:47.000 and well what's going to happen nothing no one's going to be punished for this right and also as

01:25:51.400 well macron's just there moralizing to them saying how dare you do this how could you do this it's

01:25:55.680 like macron you realize that they they detest you personally so you were they were chanting in the 0.84

01:26:02.000 street you think that he's far right you were pleasing to them yeah he's insane yeah richard 0.53

01:26:09.620 says the immigrant first second or even third generation have concluded that if any white 0.95

01:26:13.400 person stops them they will get arrested not the immigrants burning and destroying the country

01:26:16.720 uh yeah that's because that's what happens this is literally what the what happens 0.80

01:26:21.200 non says they keep saying how this is how france always riots when that's not true they're trying

01:26:26.760 to conflate history with these people except a is the limoges building not being down for

01:26:31.580 over 100 years through all of the other riots you know and that's that's the point like what they do

01:26:37.500 is you know they might smash some windows at the the government's palace or dump horse manure in

01:26:43.000 it or something like that or attack police vans or something they don't loot shops and burn down

01:26:49.180 historic monuments. Because they actually

01:26:51.320 have a duty of care to run their own civilization. 1.00

01:26:53.680 The French actually do like 0.71

01:26:55.240 their own civilization.

01:26:58.160 Sophie says,

01:26:59.300 yeah, we also had people burning the Danish flag in

01:27:01.260 Copenhagen this week. You already know what kind of people.

01:27:03.960 Of course they do.

01:27:05.660 Well, that's the thing with the internet.

01:27:07.440 Everyone can see everything all the time, everywhere.

01:27:10.240 So if you're going to get...

01:27:11.300 Contagion is a lot easier. Exactly.

01:27:13.260 Contagion is way easier.

01:27:16.080 Henry says, an attachment

01:27:17.180 to Britain is so tenuous, I wouldn't be surprised

01:27:19.120 I'm an Arsenal fan is good enough

01:27:21.020 because they always seem to be Arsenal fans

01:27:22.700 yeah, it's crazy

01:27:24.540 it's crazy how we're prepared to do this though

01:27:27.440 Baron von Warhawk points out

01:27:29.280 the only silver lining that is

01:27:30.600 maybe this will wake up some normies 1.00

01:27:32.540 as the third world horde 1.00

01:27:35.340 will have revealed their intention 0.96

01:27:36.780 before the white population has become a minority yet

01:27:38.760 of course, this does not change their mindset

01:27:40.500 then nothing will

01:27:41.100 there will be Liberal Democrats

01:27:43.860 who will be persuaded by this

01:27:45.060 but there won't be any Labour voters

01:27:46.260 who are persuaded by this

01:27:47.320 the Liberal Democrats are 1.00

01:27:49.700 comfortable, not stupid 1.00

01:27:52.000 actually 0.95

01:27:52.620 George says, considering the demographics of London

01:27:56.040 who runs it, it could very well happen here

01:27:58.280 but the thing is

01:27:59.980 Sadiq Khan would find himself on the

01:28:01.940 structural plantation

01:28:03.720 oh, this is my city, no, you're not allowed to loot

01:28:06.360 you're not allowed to burn, even though I completely agree

01:28:08.460 especially representing in some way

01:28:10.420 the party of the sitting government

01:28:12.320 exactly, he would be completely against it

01:28:14.460 if the Conservatives are in power

01:28:15.880 James says pillager apologist

01:28:18.780 Need to start receiving serious consequences

01:28:20.440 This is not acceptable

01:28:21.460 Their status and liberal

01:28:24.820 Delusions are not worth our lives

01:28:26.960 Dude it's not even worth our property

01:28:28.680 No

01:28:29.700 When the guy's like oh they value the buildings more than you

01:28:32.860 It's like yeah I'd look after the building 1.00

01:28:34.940 And I'd shoot you 0.99

01:28:35.960 That man attacked at the pub by the way 0.99

01:28:40.660 He was apparently barred for life by the same pub

01:28:42.500 As appeasement to the mob

01:28:43.760 that is mad

01:28:45.060 what had he done

01:28:46.780 again because they know

01:28:51.020 there is no way that they could ever reconcile

01:28:53.800 themselves with that mob

01:28:55.080 there is nothing that they could say

01:28:56.740 no negotiating tactic

01:28:58.500 and so every time that they do this

01:29:02.800 to persecute one of ours

01:29:04.200 it totally belays the fact that deep down they understand

01:29:06.920 the truth always betrays them

01:29:09.880 yes

01:29:10.420 um

01:29:11.800 um

01:29:13.760 and that's a random name to end with says although the situation we find ourselves in is undeniably

01:29:18.200 dire uh many normies will keep their heads buried in the sand uh do not assume that normies will

01:29:23.400 rise up against the traitors in government and their pet migrants this is a war between elites 0.71

01:29:26.560 our elites need to get into power and the only they and then only then will normies follow us 1.00

01:29:30.900 and that's true anyway we'll leave it there folks so uh join us in half an hour for

01:29:35.740 for us is RealPolitik, and we will see you tomorrow.

01:30:05.740 Thank you.
