In this episode of The Sad Truth, Gatsad interviews Lawrence Fox, a British actor, social commentator, journalist, and politician, about the linguistic genocide that is currently taking place in the UK, and why white people are guilty of being racist.
00:14:40.620So the UK, I think, there's tacit support for what has gone on, as we've seen on the street.
00:14:45.940And I think in terms of the response from our political class, I think it's, you know, it wouldn't make me feel particularly safe and confident.
00:14:55.180I wouldn't feel like, oh, yeah, really, people are behind us here.
00:14:58.020And as you see with the Football Association.
00:14:59.840But you know why the Football Association don't want to put the Jewish flag up?
00:15:02.660Because huge swathes of London would descend on that football stadium.
00:15:15.040I like to see levity even in very serious situations, hence why we were going back and forth, you and I, trying to mock some of the lunacy.
00:15:23.220But the reality is it's difficult at times to find any silver linings, any optimism, because, you know, frankly, what I see is an irrevocable decline of the West.
00:15:37.160Because there are certain things that have been taken out of the proverbial, you know, the cat is out of the bag, that it would take unbelievably bold measures to reverse.
00:15:47.200Do you have any optimism or do you share, in this case, my pessimism?
00:15:54.280Well, you know, the second half of the Eva Evans story, or Eva Evans story, was on Tuesday morning.
00:16:02.100I had six policemen walk into my house, bow through my front door, and arrest me.
00:16:07.300So I think the message is being sent to those who wish to live in hope, which I think is what God commands us to do, you know, trust in me with all your heart and all of this sort of stuff.
00:16:19.700Is the message is being sent by the progressives that, you know, if you won't shut up, if you don't stop talking about this stuff, you're going to end up in jail.
00:16:29.680And that's a worrying development for the United Kingdom, particularly because we have no free speech defence in this country at all.
00:16:36.600And we have an awful lot of laws not being applied in the same way.
00:16:40.340So I suppose we're trying to break down the metrics of which you could measure how healthy a society is.
00:16:46.760The presumption of innocence, that's gone in the United Kingdom.
00:16:52.680And equal application of the law, gone.
00:16:55.980So, and when you vote for the political parties, you're essentially voting for exactly the same Aztec sun-worshipping lunatic, you know, kind of old school weirdos.
00:17:06.280And the media will say, will parrot exactly the same line to the point where they won't even condemn pure nihilistic onage.
00:17:15.800So my optimism is that at some point, the British people, this so-called silent majority, who are silent for a reason, because they see what happens to people who actually speak out, will say enough is enough.
00:17:28.340But identity politics is destroying our country.
00:17:47.000So I believe that God is on our side and that he doesn't want people to hate each other and murder each other and kill each other and find division in each other.
00:17:55.740So I think there's hope in the long run.
00:17:57.320I just don't know how quickly we can turn this around.
00:18:00.780You just have to look at the reading materials I get sent from my son's school, the stuff that they talk about, the diversity, equity and inclusion, the Black History Months, the Pride Months, the white privilege, all of this stuff.
00:18:12.260You're going, hang on, these guys are 20 years ahead of us.
00:18:15.980And as much as I hate what they stand for, because I think it is pure nihilism, I admire the hell out of them for how good they are at it.
00:18:24.500Well, I mean, you know, I often, when I'm delivering a lecture in my consumer behavior class, and at one point I talk about the ethics of marketing to children, advertising to children, I say that, you know, usually the psychological explanation for when you should be allowed or not allowed to target children
00:18:47.860is a function of whether they have reached the cognitive developmental stage to be able to mount a cognitive defense against your persuasion strategy, right?
00:18:57.520So the advertiser is trying to get me to buy this cereal or this chewing gum, and as long as I'm aware that that's what he's doing, I can then develop a counter-argument point.
00:19:07.600And so we can debate as to whether that happens when the child is 8 or 6 or 12, but how hypocritical is it that on the one hand, from this side of our mouth, we say,
00:19:17.860hey, advertisers, you can't target children and sell them cereals, they're simply too fragile and young to be able to understand what you're trying to do to them.
00:19:26.560But then from this side of the mouth, we can teach them about, you know, queer, whatever theory and, you know, twerking drag queens when they're 5 and 6, because we want to teach them how to be tolerant.
00:19:38.300You can't really square that circle, can you?
00:19:40.120No, but I don't think they care that they can't square the circle, because nihilism is not reasonable or rational.
00:19:48.120It's about the here and the now and grabbing power.
00:19:53.460If it had meaning to it, I think the reason why it bothers people who work in the common sense area of their mind is that they need things to make sense.
00:20:01.820Whereas the nihilists, the wokest, whatever we call them, these parasitically minded people, they don't care.
00:20:10.300They don't care that they're inconsistent.
00:20:11.880They don't care that they can turn around and they're clever, too.
00:20:14.820So you just had, I think, today, either in Canada or maybe it was Scotland in the UK, they've changed the law of when a mind, as you were talking about, is developed enough to take responsibility for something.
00:20:24.820So a rapist has just been let out of jail because apparently at 25, he didn't know what he was doing.
00:20:31.660I've actually used that exact argument when I talk about the inconsistency of, you know, the age and cognitive development.
00:20:40.340So if a child is 17 years old, 364 days, therefore he's not yet 18, if he takes out an insurance policy against his parents, lies in wait, then kills them to collect the insurance money, then the progressives come out and say, he's 17 years old, 364 days.
00:21:08.520But at the same time, if you are four years old and you say, I'm not a boy, I'm a girl, believe that child is ready to get that castration done because we have to believe them.
00:21:23.740But again, your bigotry is on show again because I find it so upsetting that you, why would you stand against gender affirming care for children?
00:21:33.700I just don't, I can't see, you know, why you would, why anyone other than a total bigot would not believe that the removing of genitals for someone who may or may not be mentally ill would be the first place to affirm the health care, right?
00:21:48.440If you've got something wrong going on in your mind and you're a bit worried about your identity, the most important thing, take off the balls, commit irreversible medical mutilation.
00:21:58.740And for you to try and present any kind of rational argument for that not being a good idea, I would imagine you'd struggle with.
00:22:04.700If I had my whip of self-discussed readily available, I would start self-flagellating, but I'll leave that for another time.
00:22:14.260Anything else that is, I mean, we have enough to upset us, but what are some other issues that are pissing the hell out of Lawrence Fox?
00:22:24.580I think we've got to, we have a major problem with the police in this country.
00:22:31.000I think what you want in society is as much stability as possible.
00:22:36.460And what we've noticed is we've had so much that we've become affluent and leisurely and lazy and we've created outrage mobs and all of this sort of stuff.
00:22:43.440But we have a major problem with the police who are going to send six people through my front door to arrest me for criticising a, I can't, whatever the words I can't say is part of my bail conditions, for criticising some climate scam bollocks, for want of a better way of putting it.
00:22:58.460They'll send sick through my door. But if you lie on the street and glue yourself to the street in this country, they'll give you water and a hug while people's ambulances can't get to hospital and people die.
00:23:10.200And what you're noticing is that once trust in the police is reduced, then general societal safety is undermined.
00:23:16.460So we need to return to some seriously objective policing without fear or favour.
00:23:22.740It's different in the UK as it is to the States.
00:23:25.780And I don't know about Canada, what he's done with the guns, that crazy lunatic.
00:23:39.440That's the breakdown of law and order.
00:23:40.780And the breakdown of law and order leads to some seriously bad things.
00:23:44.400But, you know, at the end of the day, Gad, all of the things that I've said, some of them really in quite a hard way, and I do take responsibility for being a bit full on about these things, they've all come true.
00:23:54.620So if what I anticipate is going to come true, comes true, which is there's going to be people who are just going to get fed up after a while, and they're going to turn around and there will be mass civil disobedience, and there will be stuff like that, then, you know, more innocent people are going to end up injured, hurt, dead, you know, because our government wouldn't stand up and do its job, which is to serve the people, not an ideology.
00:24:15.440What do you think, so, you know, I speak to many people on my show who are avowed, committed honey badgers, and I'm always, as someone who studies psychology, who studies behavioral sciences, who lectures on personality differences, what do you think?
00:24:35.240I mean, if there was a way for us to create a bottle that you can spray on people to help them find their testicles, help them find their spine, is there such a thing, or is that something, in your view, you're either born with it or not?
00:24:49.780Lawrence Fox has always been irreverent to bullshit, he's always fought this, or is this something that you can help people develop?
00:24:58.960Well, we should learn from our betters, the progressives.
00:25:02.340So what the progressives do is they're very well organized, it doesn't matter if you're weak, there are several strong ones, what they do is they say, it doesn't matter if you're weak, we've got you, you will come with us.
00:25:14.020And so they gather in a much bigger group.
00:25:16.200What we do is we're all so entrepreneurial that we just look out for ourselves.
00:25:20.140I think we have to make, it's like old John Wayne films, you know, they weren't made because everyone cared about Westerns particularly,
00:25:28.120they were made because they were built to support and uphold the society within which they were trying to celebrate,
00:25:33.460and the media was used to uphold that society.
00:25:36.720Now, everything is being used to dismantle it.
00:25:39.380So I would say what we need to do is make great strong women who also maybe want to be mothers,
00:25:44.280after, you know, I had people in my own family who took a bit of time to get their kids up and running,
00:25:50.660and then they went back to work and they went back stronger and better.
00:25:53.540I think we need to make the idea of having a family a great thing again.
00:26:32.060Speaking of, you know, promoting what should be very obvious to most people, we're sexually reproducing species.
00:26:38.860So having families should be an inherent, indelible part of our human nature.
00:26:43.200I was recently, I was honored to be invited to Hungary to speak at, I think it was the fifth edition of the, I think it's called the Budapest Demographic Summit,
00:26:55.700where there were, you know, leading politicians from across Europe and also, you know, academics such as myself and so on,
00:27:04.300where we were getting together to talk about the importance of certainly promoting family values,
00:27:11.180promoting the idea that humans should be interested in having babies.
00:27:15.260How tragic it is that, I mean, I'm speaking here as an evolutionist,
00:27:20.220although you don't need to be an evolutionist to understand this.
00:27:22.300The two steps of life are, number one, survive, and number two, procreate,
00:27:29.200hence the two mechanisms of Darwin, natural selection and sexual selection.
00:27:33.640And yet we have to have a summit in the West to say,
00:27:37.520hey guys, it's really important for people to make babies, otherwise our societies die.
