00:00:47.700 I remember reading a theory of history a long time ago,
00:00:51.240 which gave a persuasive explanation for why human society seemed to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
00:00:58.260 Every generation, it said, only really learns what to do, how to think, and which pitfalls to avoid
00:01:04.040 from the two preceding generations with which it has direct contact.
00:01:09.140 We don't learn lessons from history.
00:01:11.380 We learn them from our parents and grandparents.
00:01:14.420 For proof of this, if you're a man my age,
00:01:16.560 you're likely to know a fair bit about World War II and almost nothing about World War I.
00:01:22.260 No one watching this who is not explicitly a history nerd will know much more than the
00:01:27.160 meaningless basics about the Napoleonic Wars.
00:01:30.300 In other words, if history repeats itself, or at least rhymes,
00:01:34.120 it is because we are repeating the mistakes of our great-grandparents,
00:01:38.100 i.e. people who lived 80 to 90 years ago and could not personally warn us.
00:01:43.000 As the saying goes, those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it,
00:01:47.200 and those who do know history are doomed to watch others repeat it.
00:01:50.520 This is why I think many people cannot see what is happening on the right
00:01:54.020 following the split which began with the invasion of Ukraine
00:01:57.300 and was wedged open by the Israel-Hamas war.
00:02:01.120 The reason for this video is, of course, the unfolding events of the last few days
00:02:05.480 here in the US where I'm on a month-long recording trip.
00:02:09.360 The story began when Tucker Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes on his show.
00:02:13.260 Fuentes is a streamer on Rumble where he expresses his admiration for Hitler,
00:02:17.100 who he says is very cool.
00:02:18.360 He asks his followers to join in chants, like 0.99
00:02:20.820 I will kill and rape for Nicholas J. Fuentes, 0.98
00:02:23.900 and gives his latest takes on Jewish power in America, 0.99
00:02:27.100 mixing all of this in with comments like 0.87
00:02:29.220 Around Blacks Never Relax. 1.00
00:02:31.240 When Tucker invited Fuentes on for a softball interview, 0.54
00:02:34.520 many on the American right, who've been privately shocked by the recent direction
00:02:38.360 some in their movement have taken,
00:02:40.440 began to openly murmur about whether a dangerous line had been crossed.
00:02:44.120 In response, Kevin Roberts, CEO of the Heritage Foundation,
00:02:47.960 whom we interviewed for Trigonometry on our last visit here,
00:02:51.060 released a video in which he robustly defended Carlson
00:02:54.080 against a venomous coalition which was engaging in, quote,
00:02:57.560 cancellation.
00:02:58.740 He pledged eternal friendship to the former Fox News anchor,
00:03:02.500 while also stating that he did not agree with Fuentes' views.
00:03:06.340 This attempt to pacify both sides only stirred matters further.
00:03:09.600 The following day, Roberts expressed disgust at Fuentes' rhetoric
00:03:13.260 and insisted that the answer was not to cancel, but to engage.
00:03:18.220 The problem for Roberts is that this attempt to sit on two stools cannot work.
00:03:22.620 This became exceedingly clear in his interview with Dana Loos,
00:03:25.400 throughout which Roberts repeatedly insisted
00:03:27.560 that the answer to bad ideas is to engage them,
00:03:30.800 while simultaneously saying that he would never host Fuentes at Heritage
00:03:35.440 or on his podcast.
00:03:36.660 This is an obvious contradiction that even a slick political operator like Roberts cannot resolve.
00:03:42.340 It's not his fault that the generational factional conflict within the right is coming to a head.
00:03:47.160 You cannot simultaneously appease people who believe in a fixed set of ideas,
00:03:51.640 and people who believe that the only ideas worth having are cynicism and revenge.
00:03:55.780 The Boomacon establishment does not understand that Fuentes is not the problem. 1.00
00:04:00.000 He is a symptom.
00:04:01.220 And the reason they don't understand that
00:04:03.140 is that they don't understand young men who make up the overwhelming majority of his audience.
00:04:08.160 This entire phenomenon is driven by a number of factors which are affecting young men.
00:04:12.340 They are the most fatherless generation in history.
00:04:14.880 A quarter of Gen Z grew up without a father present, up from just 9% in 1960.
00:04:20.280 They've had less male guidance and direction than any group of men in American history.
00:04:25.400 Even boys born after World War II,
00:04:27.280 the most murderous war in which over 400,000 American men died.
00:04:30.940 They did not experience the economic prosperity or political stability of the pre-9-11 era.
00:04:36.060 Buying a house, especially in America's major cities, becomes harder every year.
00:04:39.980 They were educated in the school and college system, which is overwhelmingly female.
00:04:44.480 77% of American school teachers are women.
00:04:47.280 I don't bring this up to criticize female teachers or suggest that they're not as good as men.
00:04:51.860 Many female teachers are great at teaching mathematics, music, geography, and history. 0.90
00:04:55.900 But it's just harder for women to teach boys how to be men.
00:04:58.860 As a result of the growing feminization of education and society at large,
00:05:03.460 many young men were not taught to channel their aggression, anger, and competitiveness into productive activity.
00:05:10.400 They were instead taught to suppress these natural male urges.
00:05:13.820 And, as any therapist will tell you, you can't keep the things you suppress down forever.
00:05:18.920 Gen Z spent their entire formative years lagging behind women in education and now earnings. 0.88
00:05:23.920 Young women without children out earn men. 0.99
00:05:26.100 And for the entirety of this time, they were told that all men are trash, 0.99
00:05:30.400 the future is female, and that they were to blame for every ill of humanity. 1.00
00:05:34.240 It may be true that women haven't always had a fair deal in society. 1.00
00:05:38.060 But that was never the fault of 15-year-old Zuma boys,
00:05:41.040 who understandably bristle at being held responsible
00:05:43.780 for something they neither created nor benefited from. 0.92
00:05:47.060 And because they're white men, nobody cares about their problems. 0.96
00:05:50.360 Is it really a surprise that some of them are resentful, angry, and openly rebellious?
00:05:54.420 This perfect storm of alienation and the dearth of male guidance
00:05:57.980 presents a lucrative opportunity for a new breed of influencer.
00:06:01.780 Unlike fathers, uncles, male teachers, and sports coaches,
00:06:05.560 Fuentes is not motivated by a desire to make a positive impact
00:06:09.540 on the lives of the boys who listen to him.
00:06:11.720 A father is incentivized to raise his sons in a way that makes them resist their worst instincts.
00:06:16.880 As an influencer who makes money getting views online,
00:06:19.980 Fuentes is incentivized to do the exact opposite.
00:06:22.620 But the reason he delights in saying Hitler was very cool 0.98
00:06:25.680 is not only a transgressive revolt against the puritanical gay race communism 0.79
00:06:30.580 rammed down his generation's throat during the woke era and a desire for cliques.
00:06:35.440 It's also because, to a generation which lacks the deeply ingrained taboo against fascism,
00:06:40.760 there is no reason why fascism wouldn't be the answer.
00:06:44.080 Some of their great-grandparents thought fascism was a great idea
00:06:47.000 for many of the same reasons they do.
00:06:48.840 Don't believe me?
00:06:49.820 Look at the other side of the political spectrum.
00:06:51.620 The British and American left is rapidly rediscovering its love for communism.
00:06:56.740 Old ideas and old hatreds are returning across the Western world.
00:07:01.280 No matter your views on illegal immigration,
00:07:03.700 nobody who understands history can hear the AFD chanting
00:07:07.080 Auslander Rouse in Germany without feeling at least some instinctive discomfort.
00:07:11.980 I've called this faction the woke right.
00:07:14.260 It is a term many are desperate to argue with me about.
00:07:17.320 But few deny the phenomenon I'm describing.
00:07:19.700 A white identitarian movement which, like the woke left, believes in oppressor-oppressed dynamics,
00:07:25.420 racial justice, and a conspiratorial force that's holding them back.
00:07:29.420 On the woke left, the root of all evil was the patriarchy,
00:07:32.820 imagined as a cabal of white men whose sole purpose was to deny equality to women and minorities.
00:07:38.300 On the woke right, it was initially the globalists.
00:07:41.280 But as I predicted in a different video, it has now evolved into simply the Jews, 1.00
00:07:45.980 who are responsible for the suffering of the disadvantaged and oppressed white man.
00:07:50.840 This is what people actually mean when they talk about the collapse of the post-World War II order.
00:07:55.660 Shocked by the desolation caused by that war and the evils of fascism,
00:08:00.000 and coming so soon after the war to end all wars,
00:08:03.100 the West decided it might be a good idea to lay down some spoken and unspoken rules
00:08:07.740 about what we can and can't do.
00:08:10.100 One conclusion was that we let down a persecuted minority and we must never do so again.
00:08:15.380 By the mid-90s, the conclusion remained, but the rationale began to slip from our collective memories.
00:08:20.580 The lesson of the Holocaust became quasi-religious dogma, 0.64
00:08:24.440 culminating in the deranged notion that no human is illegal.
00:08:28.040 The result was mass uncontrolled immigration into every Western country for the ensuing decades.
00:08:32.840 Another was the increased focus on compassion and inclusion.
00:08:36.160 It's baddies like Hitler that are obsessed with strength and purity, went to logic. 0.84
00:08:40.220 Therefore, we must instead embrace empathy and diversity.
00:08:43.580 This is what historian Tom Holland means when he says that we no longer ask what would Jesus do,
00:08:48.320 and instead ask what would Hitler do, and then do the opposite.
00:08:51.900 These well-intended norms have now been taken to such extremes
00:08:54.820 that they increasingly produce extreme results,
00:08:57.760 such as open borders, legalized crime, rampant homelessness, and gender ideology.
00:09:03.180 The backlash against all of this was eminently predictable,
00:09:06.480 so much so that many of us have warned for many years
00:09:09.540 that wokeness would produce an equal and opposite reaction on the right.
00:09:13.760 How could it not?
00:09:14.480 Did you really think that telling one group that they're bad because of their sex and skin color,
00:09:19.540 while celebrating and promoting other groups for their sex and skin color,
00:09:23.900 would not produce an identitarian backlash?
00:09:27.060 In any case, groipers, as Fuentes fans are known, are not conservatives. 1.00
00:09:31.380 They are the voice of a generation which feels ignored, mistreated, and unfairly maligned.
00:09:35.760 They don't want small government, they want revenge.
00:09:38.780 The bulwark against this voice of Kane was shot in the neck and killed on a college campus a few weeks ago.
00:09:43.700 Charlie Kirk was single-handedly leading the Zuma right away from bitterness and resentment
00:09:48.680 towards God, family, and service.
00:09:51.960 How and whether the remaining principled conservatives try to resolve this attempt
00:09:55.860 to take over their movement remains to be seen.

00:10:08.120 The news doesn't just tell you what's happening.
00:10:11.300 It so often tells you what to think is happening.
00:10:14.060 And these days, the biggest red flag isn't what's said, it's what gets left out.
00:10:18.540 That's why I use Ground News.

00:10:34.580 It surfaces around 20 stories a day that are being overlooked by either the left or the right.
00:10:39.740 It's a simple but powerful way to track media bias in real time.
00:10:43.580 Like this, NIH scientists recently published a declaration
00:10:47.240 criticizing Trump's cuts to public health research.
00:10:50.400 That's a major move.
00:10:51.780 And yet, only 2% of the coverage came from right-leaning outlets.
00:10:55.980 A new study found that 2024 saw the most armed conflicts globally since 1946.
00:11:02.140 A staggering statistics.
00:11:03.800 But you would have missed it if you'd only read left-wing news sources.
