00:01:25.820All right. I want to talk to you for a little while now. Your name has been, I think, emerging, you know, first from Austria, and then across the broader German speaking world, and then Europe, and it's even starting to get its way into North America.
00:01:42.640I expect that I'm going to get an email after we publish this interview from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, Press Progress, the usual round of people who think that any vision beyond having a multicultural economic zone makes one an extremist racist.
00:02:03.920So I'm expecting that to happen, because I've seen your name pop up as someone who's very dangerous and should not be talked to, listened to, or read about, which is why I have to talk to you now.
00:02:28.700well no um the word itself does not come from me it was used scientifically in political sciences
00:02:37.820all the time and it was yeah just a very like um factual term for the pros of somebody
00:02:45.820returning to his homeland but then in france in the year of 2012 2013 french identitarians were
00:02:54.040starting to use the term in an activist context and we took it because we founded the biggest
00:03:00.280patriotic ngo the austrian chapter the identitarian movement and we were the first one to put
00:03:07.000re-migration into actions with banners we had flyers with re-migration and then in the year
00:03:13.560about 2022 23 after covid there was a huge push against from us with a re-migration campaign and
00:03:21.000then it took on speed and i have the credentials bloomberg you know bloomberg they wrote in a big
00:03:28.040analysis piece that i was the most important re-migration influencer during this period so
00:03:33.720yeah i take this badge of honor and i think we've been very influenced in mainstreaming
00:03:38.760this term and this idea on the globe okay well i think that yeah that's certainly fair that's
00:03:44.040i've seen your name associated with it quite a bit uh i mean i mean maybe for those who aren't
00:03:49.160as deep into this uh topic maybe explain what what is re-migration and what is identitarianism
00:03:56.360yeah so i think i started through migration because it's actually quite easy you have
00:04:01.240immigration you have re-migration re-migration means the process of inversing these flows of
00:04:06.520migration not just closing the border but also sending illegals home but also creating push and
00:04:12.120pull factors so that unwanted migration also unwanted legal migration stops and people who
00:04:17.960don't fit uh slowly but sadly go home there are many proposals many concepts we have an amazing
00:04:25.320deportation policy from restore britain i've written a book myself about this issue and it's
00:04:30.280basically just uh the 180 degree answer the inversion of all the multiculturalist policies
00:04:37.480we had until then so that in summary is re-migration it means we stay and they go and
00:04:43.400And this is based obviously on identitarianism, which is kind of an umbrella term for national conservative right-wing thinking in Europe.
00:04:55.020There's the European New Right. I don't know if your viewers are familiar with that.
00:04:58.760It's a philosophical and political movement, which was very prominent in France and Germany after the Second World War.
00:05:05.420And basically understood, OK, the core of all right-wing politics has to be the identity,
00:05:10.540the ethno-cultural identity and continuity as a threat so it's not so much about a political system
00:05:17.280or an economic system or a certain belief set no it's about this threat and this is basically the
00:05:23.620ideology of identitarianism it means putting identity putting the people first and trying
00:05:29.180to create an alliance and creating a bridge between all these different ideological and
00:05:34.040economical sects that split to the right? So, I mean, it's, that's obviously a movement
00:05:41.000mostly associated with the right. But, you know, I, I think from what I've taken away from your
00:05:47.060saying, and, you know, what I've observed, it's not exclusive to the right there, you know,
00:05:51.640there's, you know, the Danish social democrats, for example, I think, could be considered kind
00:05:57.700of a light version of identitarianism, but found on the center left. I don't, maybe you want to
00:06:03.680Correct me if I'm wrong about that, but it doesn't seem to be exclusive to the right.
00:06:06.860It's just obviously most associated with the right, because the right tends traditionally to be more nationalistic than the left, but not exclusively.
00:06:15.800You know, I think there are many arguments and many cases to be made for re-migration also from an ecological or even like labor and lefting perspective.
00:06:27.600unfortunately they're very alone within their political scene from the left who say mass
00:06:33.840migration is undercutting wages it's against the interest of the working class mass migration is
00:06:39.040making the rich richer and it's also keeping up an unfair and unbalanced world system so
00:06:45.680this mass exodus especially from skilled people the brain drain from africa is not making africa
00:06:51.840richer safer or better it's a very important moral case for immigration and also ecologically
00:06:57.600if you look at europe and especially countries like switzerland austria germany uh this idea
00:07:03.840of ever growing nations where we don't have enough space and we have to cut down all our forests and
00:07:09.600destroy all our beautiful meadows just to increase building and housing for millions of africans and
00:07:16.560arabs coming in are also very important arguments found on the left and you're absolutely right and
00:07:21.520spot on the danish social democrats are way more progressive in their remigration policy right now
00:07:28.400than the german christian conservatives and you see a also very important point that i always
00:07:34.240focus on metapolitics how important is the public discourse um and uh how this public discourse
00:07:42.560public perception always trumps the political party system uh well yeah i i do want to get
00:07:47.360get into metapolitics, but we'll get to there. We'll talk maybe about the issues first, but I am
00:07:52.100interested in that and how you see that fitting in. Why would you use the term identitarian
00:07:58.840as opposed to nationalism? I know in Germany and Austria, the term nationalism carries some
00:08:05.920unwanted historical baggage, but certainly outside of Germany and Austria, I think it carries less
00:08:13.020of a stigma but uh what would you see as the difference between them and why would you kind
00:08:18.640of choose to use the term identitarian more than nationalism how philosophical can i get in my
00:08:24.700answer that's the question that's up to you so yeah you're right like the term national obviously
00:08:30.380has kind of a baggage in austria and germany people see it and it's perceived as way more
00:08:36.780radical than for example in the anglosphere but for us also identitarian and identity is a term
00:08:42.120which is way more bigger and also older because if you look at the modern nation nation state
00:08:47.800it's quite a new phenomenon the and one of important hero of a movement is leonidas the
00:08:53.800spartan king or prince again the french guy who fought for the austrian army against the ottomans
00:08:59.400and back then you didn't really have nations and so we think that also just focusing on the
00:09:04.920nation state national identity has some pitfalls for example you cannot really achieve a european
00:09:10.120unity like this idea of being united here also in the whole west and as your people with european
00:09:15.400descent and for me identity is just the encompassing term because there is a threat
00:09:22.600from leonidas to us from prince organ to us and um over different changes of political systems
00:09:30.360from tribes to nations to empires this always has been our identity and that's why we defended and
00:09:35.800there's one of our four thinkers and that's as philosophical as it will get said identity is
00:09:41.240what stays the same during change and that's what what we want to defend and that's why we love this
00:09:47.400term am i correct then in saying that identitarianism is kind of national it's just kind of
00:09:55.480pan-european nationalism not in the eu bureaucratic sense which i think is actually anti-nationalist
00:10:01.480uh you know it's it's against the you know the the identities of of europe's nation states but
00:10:07.640uh identitarianism would be like kind of pan-european nationalism without the anti-national
00:10:14.040nationalism is that a fair way of looking at this it's a good way but we are not like european
00:10:21.400nationalists like we we believe in the nation state obviously but as identarians we try to
00:10:26.200balance the three levels of identity as we say it's like the civilization level which obviously
00:10:30.680is above the nation the national level and the regional level we also love regional cultures we
00:10:35.560are big fans of regional identity regional culture which is very important to us so we don't like it
00:10:41.160when for example the nation state act as an agent of equalizing everything and destroying regional
00:10:47.400cultures but also if you only focus on the nation state you can forget the civilizational bonds
00:10:52.600but obviously we are also against the european bureaucracy so identitarian just basically means
00:10:56.920balancing out those three levels defending them and also understanding the both sides of your
00:11:02.120identity which is ethnic and cultural so we say our identity has three level three layers and two
00:11:07.880sides and as identitarians we want to understand it and defend all of it so the you know nationalists
00:11:18.760identitarians uh you know the the obvious kind of knee-jerk uh reaction or critique of them is
00:11:27.200that well that's racism that's discriminatory it's a it's exclusionary um
00:11:33.280i mean you obviously will get that on a daily basis that's kind of just what what they'll
00:11:38.920throw at you um i don't know what what's the response to that that uh you know the focus on
00:11:45.960your, you know, your identity, your ethnicity, your
00:11:50.280nationality, wanting to, you know, make sure Austrian,
00:11:54.300Austria is Austrian, France is French, England is English. You
00:12:00.320know, how do you respond to your critics? They'll just say,
00:12:02.760well, you're just, you know, racist ethnocentrists.
00:12:08.040Yeah. Racism, as you know, is a conversation ender, it's
00:12:12.340basically always a sign that the other side has no arguments
00:12:15.540left and racism has become a code word for anti-european and very often anti-white hatred
00:12:21.320and sentiments because it's only brought up against european and white people when they just
00:12:28.200want to exist and they just want to cherish the existence and preserve the existence and
00:12:33.200identitarianism in my opinion is the absolute opposite to real racism which is when you hate
00:12:39.420groups when you have a blanket hatred against groups or you want to kill people or really
00:12:45.120treat them in a negative way just based on the ethnicity because as an identitarian patriot i
00:12:50.480love my own culture but i respect all the others because when i love my own culture how could i
00:12:56.320deny anyone else to love and to maintain his own culture so what we want actually is a multiple
00:13:02.800world full of identities and full of nations and we just demand politely but also very consequently
00:13:10.560our own place and our own country in this world and to claim that this is racist is completely
00:13:17.280outrageous and i just want to make this more concrete with an with a little anecdote
00:13:23.280ellen musk whom we all know next he's talking very often about natalism about increasing birth rates
00:13:30.000and he was talking very often about japan and south korea that south koreans are dying out
00:13:33.920we need to increase the birth rates there nobody cared and suddenly when he started talking about
00:13:39.840europeans and said we need to save white europeans everybody's freaking out exactly same situation
00:13:45.840same terms but suddenly it's obviously seen as offensive to not want to fade away into the
00:13:52.400darkness and i think this in itself if we want to talk about real racism is actually racism when
00:13:58.880you want to deny a whole ethnic group is the the right for an identity the right for pride and the
00:14:04.560right for survival so i would say no that's completely wrong but i'm very happy when my
00:14:08.880opponents bring this up because it's been so overused that nobody cares anymore so it's a very
00:14:14.080very big argument we um we published a guest column from uh daniel tyree of the canadian
00:14:22.640dominion society and you know they're very involved in the re-migration uh project um
00:14:30.000and it was called what is a canadian and uh you know he tried to make the argument that it's well
00:14:36.080it's you know the original indigenous people and it's uh largely the descendants of the original
00:14:41.760english scottish irish and french settlers and then other europeans who came and successfully
00:14:46.960assimilated into it uh you know i i come my family's germany austria etc but we've
00:14:53.280largely assimilated into anglo-canadian culture um but you also have to say you have an austrian
00:15:00.400face i have an austrian face i don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing my prussian
00:15:04.560it's an amazing it's the best thing it's the best thing but if i would see you on the street
00:15:08.160i would think like you're you look austrian maybe from upper austria something like that so that
00:15:12.420that would be my my classification well thank you thank you but my prussian opa might not like that
00:15:18.340but my more austrian bohemian oma would so um so so you know defining what is a ethnic canadian is
00:15:27.880is much more difficult i think than defining what is an ethnic austrian was an ethnic frenchman
00:15:34.000ethnic pole englishmen etc uh because those are ancient countries and the people are are genuinely
00:15:41.840indigenous to the land for the most part you know european borders have shifted etc but for the most
00:15:47.200part largely indigenous to the areas um so i i the the question the the headline was posed as a
00:15:58.400question what is a canadian and we've got someone uh any i think we're expecting a rebuttal piece
00:16:03.040to it today someone who disagrees maybe with how he defined it um but i think i think it'd be
00:16:09.840okay well i'll just ask you then what is an austrian
00:16:14.400i would say um austrian is obviously somebody who lives here has this austrian passport in
00:16:24.080the legal sense but apart from this classification you also have the very long and very ancient
00:16:30.880history of the people who have been living here and for this you have um a culture and ethnicity
00:16:37.600a lineage but also a consciousness and i think these uh things together the lineage the culture
00:16:43.840but also the consciousness of being an austrian and of being part of this um as edmund burke put
00:16:51.120it this deep pact this contract between those who are living those who have passed away and those
00:16:56.880who are yet to come this makes somebody an austrian but obviously i would say apart from
00:17:03.040that if it gets to be more concrete we are people that loves to eat we have amazing music uh we we
00:17:10.800are the perfect combination between the rigidity the order from the german culture language sphere
00:17:17.360which we're obviously a part of together mixed with a bit of southern and eastern european flavor
00:17:22.080so that's that's what you have in vienna so they have in austria and obviously we also
00:17:26.560deeply shaped our history because austria was the bastion of europe so the austrians always
00:17:31.440in the border region had to defend their identity against turk situations against the hungarians
00:17:37.040before they became christianized and then part of the european civilization and also as part of a
00:17:42.880border area of the whole uh german empire in the german area uh this was always an area of a lot of
00:17:49.840worth warfare and having to defend your own identity and that's also what makes the austrians
00:17:55.120a very patriotic very stubborn people we also mountain people we have all the mountains in the
00:17:59.520area erect erect people so that's that what makes an austrian and um i hope you're satisfied with
00:18:07.200this definition i uh i i i often get asked by people uh you know if they're going to europe
00:18:13.920on vacation or something they say derek what's the best part of germany i always say austria
00:18:18.000um you know well yeah i know that's a loaded answer but uh you know it's it's got the culture
00:18:24.520and whatnot uh a shared culture but it's it's actually more stronger more pronounced there
00:18:29.220um true true it's a bit like that in the area but uh but i would say also like um
00:18:35.300uh yeah um i think austria has the best from both sides but you know when it comes to canada
00:18:39.980i understand your identity is way more complex but still also the austrian identity as it exists
00:18:45.820today for example also austria as its nation state is something very new and changing a bit
00:18:51.180and shaping the identities for example after the second world war the majority of austrians did not
00:18:56.140identify with austrian at all like they said okay we're all germans but this is changing steadily
00:19:00.780in austria so there is something that you can call an ethnogenesis the dutch people were part of the
00:19:06.300german empire swiss uh german swiss same but the dutch people they would now say okay we're dutch
00:19:11.980so what's happening or what's going on in canada i think it's an ongoing process it's an ongoing
00:19:18.060process of forming a very distinct identity but obviously basing this identity identity only on
00:19:23.820ideas on abstract values will not lead to a real nation and a real identity but basically just you
00:19:30.460know a zone an economic zone where different uh a conglomerate of different entities lives
00:19:37.100for a while you know basically like liminal space or like an airport lobby so i think it's up to us
00:19:42.860canadians and as european canadians of the descendants who founded this nation to define
00:19:48.060what it means to be canadian it's harder but it's also cool because um so you can be very creative
00:19:54.860in this process as well well i mean austria is a particularly interesting case uh i i'd be
00:20:01.500interested in your take on it because i see it um you know you mentioned you know the dutch uh
00:20:07.100They were always maybe a bit more different.
00:20:09.040They spoke of a very different dialect.
00:20:10.920The Austrians obviously have a different dialect than High German and Berlin, etc.
00:20:14.720But I see them as a part of an ethnic German identity, but with a civic national identity as well.
00:20:23.600Civic identity as Austrians, but still national in the sense of the German world.
00:20:28.940Similar-ish, but maybe not as much as, say, the Swiss or the Swiss-speaking Germans.
00:20:35.060So you can have overlapping identities. In Alberta, if there is such a thing as an ethnic Canadian identity, if such a thing is there, it's a debatable point, then Albertans would share it.
00:20:47.640We share an Anglo-Canadian ethnic identity, but some of us have a separate civic identity
00:20:56.060as Albertans, that, you know, we're a distinct polity and we have some differences, but
00:21:02.420we don't consider ourselves a different ethnicity than the rest of Canada.
00:21:05.200We're a part of a broader pan-Anglo-Canadian culture, but we still have a different civic
00:21:17.040It might fit in a bit, but Austria also has a different history in a way.
00:21:22.840You know, like also the Austrian Empire was in this duel, in this conflict with Prussia and had their own policy.
00:21:34.020Obviously, back then, Austria was not part of a people.
00:21:35.960It was the noble house, the aristocracy of the house of Austria.
00:21:41.140But I would say, yes, there are definitely similarities.
00:21:43.320But obviously, at the moment, I'm quite happy that we are not part of the German nation, which is run by, I would say, a left-wing suicide pact.
00:21:56.140And in Austria, the Freedom Party, for example, is falling at around 30, 39%.
00:22:01.880And there's a high chance that we are able to really make re-migration a reality in Austria within the next years.
00:22:09.680So I think at the moment, especially when the zeitgeist is so anti-European, anti-white, anti-national, then it's maybe even better to have smaller entities and smaller communities, which is easier to get political sway and to maybe even flip the whole thing.
00:22:26.080That sounds like another parallel with a lot of what's happening in Alberta right now.
00:22:30.280At the risk of, okay, everyone just stay with me for a second.
00:22:34.700This is going to be kind of a niche-ish thing to talk about.
00:22:37.340But I think it's instructive of kind of the, what are the problems facing remigration, identitarianism, nationalism, etc.
00:22:45.640I want to talk about the recent state election in Baden-Württemberg.
00:22:49.480So for those who don't know, let's put it up on the map.
00:22:52.220Baden-Württemberg is a state in southwest Germany.
00:31:49.560because there's a sense of shared nationhood,
00:31:51.440even if they're different states and civic identities.
00:31:53.480but even here even here i would have to have to say if like many many prussians would come to a
00:31:59.820small austrian town you know then if it's too many then they would break the culture there like
00:32:05.520all the traditions or everything would break down there so even this would be obviously wouldn't be
00:32:10.880a big issue um but still if it would go on and can't city by city the regional culture would die
00:32:17.460and vice versa because people are quite different also within a nation and we also want to maintain
00:32:21.920those differences my family on until uh until they passed away we we still had prussian austrian
00:32:27.600fights over what kind of dinner we eat at christmas so i i hope i can uniquely understand
00:32:33.120i hope the austrians won every christmas yeah that's love with rouladen not potatoes
00:32:38.880prussians are very good at many things but cooking is not one of those the austrians
00:32:44.240the austrians one of my family for sure um okay so yeah japanese kept become austrian
00:32:51.280Austrian can't become Japanese, but what about something that is more adjacent, that is clearly
00:32:57.020a different national ethnic identity, but, you know, it's closer than, but it's within the same
00:33:04.920maybe civilizational umbrella. Do you think, can a Polish person become an ethnic Austrian? Can a
00:33:11.560Croatian person become an ethnic Austrian? Because these are obviously close, especially, you said
00:33:16.200Croatia, because they shared the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Habsburg Empire before.
00:33:22.000They're obviously close and adjacent, but they're different.
00:33:25.240Can they become a genuine ethnic Austrian to you?
00:33:29.640You see here, the question is what you mean by ethnicity.
00:33:32.880And it's actually a philosophical question.
00:33:35.040Basically, it comes down to how do people react to you?
00:33:38.240An example, let's say a Polish person as a child is being adopted by an Eastern German
00:33:45.360family he will have a totally um unproblematic german identity why because culturally he's
00:33:52.240raised assimilated as a german and also from his phenotype the looks he appears completely normal
00:33:57.520german he sees himself as a german and he um is perceived as a german but obviously if you look
00:34:03.680differently people will not perceive you as an ethnical german this will also change your own
00:34:09.040identity about yourself and will force you in a way to have a more complex understanding of your
00:34:15.360own history and if this polish person although like from his dna and his looks he is completely
00:34:21.760like the majority of eastern german people let's take this for the sake of the argument
00:34:26.080he sees poland as any other slavic nation poland czech republic no difference but if suddenly his
00:34:32.480parents tell him you know what you were adopted from a polish family uh from a polish city from
00:34:38.720kaka then suddenly for him his identity will shift and change you know and he will say okay well
00:34:44.800interesting maybe i'll try travel there once whenever like there's a a soccer game between
00:34:49.280germany and poland he will see differently then so these things um are real if you make them real
00:34:55.280and if you think about them yes in a way but of course if you have a different ethnicity people
00:35:01.760will react differently to you and it doesn't mean they're racist or discriminatory
00:35:06.160again if i wanted to go to japan and then assimilate japan still people will ask me ah
00:35:12.000do you speak japanese and where do you really come from and i wouldn't see this as racist because
00:35:16.400it's just a normal a very normal reaction so let's say yes they can assimilate easier
00:35:22.240but still like the lineage is just a reality that just exists it's not it's not evil or good it's
00:35:28.960just there and um you cannot really change it but in many cases like this example it doesn't really
00:35:35.040matter if you don't make it an issue or don't even know about it okay uh so metapolitics
00:35:43.120most people have probably never heard the term might me might ask you also about your opinion
00:35:47.680how how you see it or is this like um yeah i i know you you're the interviewer i'm the interviewed
00:35:52.800but i think it would be maybe interesting how you see i see this issue you want to flip the script
00:35:57.600on me um i'm asking you all these hard and spicy questions because it's easier for me to ask the
00:36:02.640you can ask me everything anything i want i'm just it's out of your interest how you see it yeah
00:36:07.040uh yeah i mean look north americans are are different uh we you know our people settled
00:36:13.760the land i've got ancestors who were very early settlers who are as canadian as you could possibly
00:36:20.720be um but i've also obviously got much more recent ancestors who came from uh places that used to be
00:36:28.240be part of Germany and used to be parts of Austria um but I mean those places where my
00:36:33.760ancestors are from are no longer parts of Germany no longer parts of Austria and that doesn't make
00:36:39.200me Czech that does not make me Polish even though that's those are now a part of the geography of
00:36:43.620where they're from I have no identity whatever with those places so when you know when people
00:36:48.840talk about um you know your identity is just it's the geographical location you you live in this
00:36:55.480place and therefore you know uh you know justin trudeau used to say a canadian is a canadian is
00:37:00.280a canadian you know you got the papers you are therefore canadian i thought well okay um so
00:37:05.720that's just you're talking about us just being a an economic zone again it's it's purely geographical
00:37:11.720you live there therefore you are i'm like well that would make me polish uh that would make me
00:37:15.640check but i don't have a as far as we can tell i've done ancestry.com i've got no check i've got
00:37:21.400no polish um so i i have no identity whatever with those places even though i've got
00:37:27.320you know i'm geographically from there so um i i agree uh but you know north american society
00:37:33.880i think has always been by necessity more assimilating uh than than the european nation
00:37:40.040states uh you know we were you know original english and french settlers combined with uh
00:37:45.400you know the indigenous people who were here before um and so even the french and the english
00:37:50.920had to find some commonality and there'd be intermarriage between them um more so than you
00:37:56.360would say between english and french people in europe because they had they were in separate
00:38:00.760polities different kingdoms um you know and then we you know we integrated irish and scottish and
00:38:07.080then eventually western canada sub settled largely uh there was americans who came up with their own
00:38:11.560identities germans ukrainians um and then eventually you know we had chinese people come
00:38:17.720building the railroad so we've always been a bit more fluid but it was never until very recently
00:38:24.280wasn't a big issue especially in english canada um because there was still an anglo identity
00:38:29.480um you know you might immigrate from germany and we'd still eat a lot of german foods but we'd also
00:38:35.320adopt the local foods we would learn to speak english and we would intermarry with english
00:38:41.000families and we would take on an anglo-canadian identity and there was uh what was the term you
00:38:48.080used um genomorphosis uh ethnogenesis and and and and so it was fine um but you know other
00:38:57.700communities uh that came from you know other civilizations and other more different ethnic
00:39:04.920backgrounds they would integrate successfully but not as much um like we have a chinatown in
00:39:10.600Calgary. We don't have a German town. We don't have a Ukrainian town. Um, I'm a member of the
00:39:15.540Austrian club because it's one of the few good places I can get, um, uh, you know, I can, you
00:39:21.080know, I can, I can find the food, but you know, there's, there's no area that's like, this is the
00:39:26.080German area of town and it's clearly identified as such. And the architecture of all the buildings
00:39:31.160here is this, that just didn't happen. They, they assimilated to Anglo-Canadian culture.
00:39:36.660most chinese people have actually assimilated pretty well here but there it is still more
00:39:40.900distinct you have a china town the architecture is different the food is different and so it it's not
00:39:46.820a hundred percent um it's more difficult question to answer here i would also make a difference
00:39:53.380between integration and assimilation here you know for me like integration is basically when you work
00:39:58.580well within the function society and you can also integrate um it's a it's a functional structural
00:40:05.620thing as an ethnic enclave as chinatown for example but you can also integrate for example
00:40:11.860as a radical muslim so a lot of muslim terrorists were very well integrated they were studying and
00:40:16.100like they looked completely normal they paid their taxes and the bills so and for me a simulation is
00:40:21.220when you completely identify with the ethno cultural community of um the nation the community
00:40:28.660you want to be a part of but what you said is very true there's a saying when a cat becomes kitten
00:40:35.060gets kitten in a stable there are still cats and horses so obviously this theory of total milieu
00:40:41.620theory which is a staple of the left is wrong in any case it's wrong when it's about gender but
00:40:47.700it's also wrong when it's about ethnicity and both are taboos of this trans ideology that basically
00:40:53.220wants human beings to become eight atoms and to become completely interchangeable like resources
00:40:58.740you can uh push around the globe um sex change operations and changing your nationality all the
00:41:05.700time you can become whatever you want and this is obviously part of this ideology of modernity
00:41:10.580i would say this trans ideology of transgression transsexual transethnic and so on and um i think
00:41:17.220as conservatives our thought has to be rooted in reality and we just need to create a serious
00:41:22.660scientific but also measured debate about a subject that doesn't go in any radical or extreme
00:41:28.100direction just looks at the facts and then thinks okay what do we learn from these facts and how do
00:41:33.300the influence and how uh to the effect our politics uh i strongly would expect you'll agree
00:41:40.220with the critique i'm about to make but i'd interesting i'd be interested to know why you
00:41:44.400think it is that you know the kind of the multiculturalist uh i would say left but it's
00:41:50.620not just the left i mean you could look at the cdu in germany actually frankly even you know
00:41:55.760the conservatives in canada are officially pro multiculturalism there's factions within the
00:42:01.540party that are you know less so um but i would just say so maybe the left is the wrong term for
00:42:08.320But multiculturalist ideology, broadly speaking, you know, believes that, you know, they don't seem to think that, you know, Europeans, and this is an easier debate to define in the European context than, say, North America, as I discussed.
00:42:25.240But, you know, say European in the European context, they seem to believe that Europeans aren't allowed to have their own distinct countries, their own distinct nations.
00:42:34.940But every other country and every other civilization on the planet can.
00:42:39.960You know, Nigerians are allowed to have Nigeria for Nigerians.
00:42:45.340And that's actually probably fair that when Europeans try to essentially come in in large numbers and potentially even dominate India, that's colonialism. And that's probably a fair critique. What if it's the opposite? That, you know, France should be predominantly, not maybe exclusively, but at least predominantly the preserve for Frenchmen.
00:43:09.680that Poland should be predominantly the preserve for the Polish. That is seen as racist,
00:43:16.780exclusionary, hyper-nationalist, overall just bad negative thing. But if we said that, well,
00:43:24.080we shouldn't have a bunch of Poles moving to, or we shouldn't have a bunch of Frenchmen in Algeria,
00:43:29.700that's perfectly reasonable and could be violently resisted as it was in the 1950s and 60s.
00:43:35.140that could be violently resisted and that is a good thing um but if you just believe in you know
00:43:40.980that that france should maybe not have a ton of algerians that's racist what do you think is
00:43:46.980the reasoning behind it what is the philosophical grounding of it that what's good for the goose is
00:43:52.140not good for the gander now we're going to very deep into the roots of the great replacement
00:43:57.820of replacement migration and i would really say it's this ideology this universalism
00:44:02.740of self-hatred and of white and european guilt and you brought up the algerian french example
00:44:10.780i always bring up in a talk to left wing people the white flight from south africa there's a huge
00:44:16.900re-migration going on after hundreds and hundreds of years the boers the people living there even
00:44:23.740longer than the in some of the invading black tribes then are leaving africa there's an
00:44:28.900immigration rate from whites from south africa do you like this or not answer for most left fingers
00:44:34.820yeah that's great because the colonial allies finally leave the country they have nothing to do
00:44:39.620in to do with uh from the first place so okay and why is it then racist if i demand remigration for
00:44:47.460europe for people who just came here a few years ago who are very often illegal who contribute
00:44:51.940nothing to society who two gang rapes a day in germany cause tremendous horrors here not all of
00:44:58.180them but like a very large number it's completely incongruent and it's just anti-european and
00:45:05.460anti-white that's basically the suckers that's basically the core of it and it would be as if
00:45:12.500when you bring up the colonial example when the english colonized india we would say it would
00:45:18.500it's racist if the indians resist the british if the indians defend their nation against the british
00:45:24.660get an act of indian racism yeah an anti-white indian racism that's how it is now we are being
00:45:30.500called racist just for defending our own country and our own territory and i think this is basically
00:45:35.780um yeah a remnant of a secularized version of christianity it's an abuse of our history you
00:45:44.900obviously have in germany the second world war but for you have the colonization in the uk also
00:45:50.100the colonization so everywhere you find mcguffin that is basically the core of this huge ideology
00:45:55.700of guilt and guilt is something you can use to rule it's a very powerful tool to rule people
00:46:02.340and i would say in the end this destruction of european ethnic identity and national identity
00:46:08.980makes europeans easier to govern divided empire divide and conquer it makes it easier also for
00:46:15.380international corporations to sell their products if you destroy nation states and you have only a
00:46:20.740huge amount of consumers who cannot organize themselves anymore if past national gangland
00:46:26.340which is totally chaotic then it's easy to rule that it's easier to sell there and it's easier to
00:46:31.540make money it's a free flow of information of capital of people all around the globe and the
00:46:36.580nation states are hindrance to this idea of a new food feudalistic global order but obviously we're
00:46:43.620going to be into conspiracy theory there i have no proof of that i have no distinct group of people
00:46:49.380but if i would need to make up a theory why some rulers why some politicians are pushing for that
00:46:57.060this would be my theory you used uh at the at the top of your answer you use the term great
00:47:03.380replacement uh i'm gonna have to dig into that because this this part right here is going to get
00:48:36.480conspiracy theory it's a government praxis
00:48:38.320It's a descriptive reality and it's just the product of birth rates of natives going down and replacement migration, migration to replace these people fading away.
00:48:53.760And since the 1970s in most European nations we had no positive birth rates and so since then the whole population growth can be contributed to replacement migration or replacement births.
00:49:05.320births so it's very descriptive and what they do in a very clever rhetoric trick they take
00:49:12.840certain theories about why the great replacement is happening then they disprove those theories
00:49:19.960and then then they say the whole thing isn't happening at all and this is as if you would
00:49:25.160look at the burning of rome you know we know there was a huge fire in rome the city burned for one
00:49:32.200weak this is the fact the prescriptive fact and now there are many theories some people said nero
00:49:38.360himself burned rome down others say the christians did it others say it was just you know an accident
00:49:43.880but if you disprove one of these theories the fire still happened same with jfk there are many
00:49:49.720theories about who and why killed jfk but if you disprove one of them jfk still was killed and it's
00:49:57.480same with greater placement doesn't matter which theory is true and who is really responsible it
00:50:02.520is happening it's a description and the prescription is remigration so i don't really care who is
00:50:09.400behind it i think this is a debate you can talk about it's very interesting way more important
00:50:14.040is the question what can you do about it and obviously the attempt of the left to claim it's
00:50:18.840a conspiracy theory straw man it refuted and then claim it doesn't happen at all is very cheap and
00:50:25.320very easy to refute you know i should say they still use the word theory at the end but they
00:50:31.960don't actually seem to deny it actually takes place now it they used to deny it's taking place
00:50:36.440now they kind of say it's taking place and it's a good thing here's why you should support it
00:50:41.560uh so they've kind of moved on they're actually no really they kind of say theory at the end just
00:50:45.720because i i guess they're used to saying it and it maybe kind of helps to discredit it
00:50:49.320but they don't really deny it now. It's just, yes, it's happening, but here's why you should
00:50:55.360like it. So I guess there is no denying, of course, we have replacement migration. I mean,
00:51:02.800it's just math. It's undeniable. We're very deep into it. It's not a new thing at this point.
00:51:08.520I guess the question would be, is it intentional or not? Is this just the way it's happening?
00:51:19.320So why? Why do you think it's happening?
01:02:54.120but they still lost um that's just a british example but there's other examples as well
01:03:01.840in in germany the most recent federal election a big majority of germans voted for the afd
01:03:07.360um in second place and uh and the cdu in first combined a very big majority
01:03:13.680uh and you know friedrich meretz ran on you know shutting the borders ending mass migration
01:03:20.600they still got more mass migration so can i maybe can maybe it's just where the winning debates and
01:03:27.120they're winning the parliamentary elections they're losing in the actual results at the end
01:03:31.840of the day can i answer the english question first because i think it's actually in reality
01:03:37.960a really a proof of the meta-political theory because you're completely right the motivation
01:03:42.740for brexit was migration but if you look at the talking points of the discussion people talked
01:03:48.500mostly not about migration but about economics it was kind of a proxy issue why because it was
01:03:54.720and it still is too spicy to talk about mass deportations which actually would have been
01:04:00.360needed to stop um the the great replacement or a fortress uh britain like building a wall and uh
01:04:09.620the rwanda plan all of this so they won the political power but they did not win the
01:04:14.880meta-political power why because in the uk there are no big media no big alternative media not no
01:04:22.440big um street movements or big ngos and think tanks there's no counterly there's no power in
01:04:30.180academia who is demanding mass deportations on who is demanding a complete closed border policy
01:04:37.260this talking point still is not really in the British media and society and you see this right
01:04:43.660with the taboos that rupert lowe is breaking with restore britain so what i would say is if
01:04:49.420conservatives and patriots get in power even if they want to do certain political things they
01:04:54.300are unable to do them if those things are not completely normalized all the taboos have to be
01:05:00.140broken and you see right now rupert law is starting to break these taboos right now years and years
01:05:05.900after brexit with which which was a proxy vote uh uh nativist vote but in the debates didn't really
01:05:14.140normalize the idea of mass deportations or completely shutting the border fence so i would
01:05:19.580say the brexit was a prime example of conservatives winning political power without having a real
01:05:25.260meta-political influence in media academia or on the national discourse
01:05:29.660mm-hmm well but in the german example i mean it's it's a different set of circumstances you
01:05:35.800have the so-called firewall where unofficially it's a rule you're not allowed to deal with the
01:05:40.300afd but they're uh you know a big majority of people voted for parties that would stop mass
01:05:47.860migration um and mass migration was very much at the front everyone the afd was saying it out loud
01:05:54.600Even Friedrich Mertz, I mean, I didn't believe it. It's the CDU at this point. I didn't believe it. But he was saying, yeah, no, we're shutting the border. Border controls are coming back. We're ending mass deport. We're ending mass migration. Syrians with Syria safe can go back to Syria.
01:06:10.780um but it didn't happen even though a big majority of germans voted for it and it was explicit it
01:06:16.700wasn't mixed with a bunch of economic stuff it wasn't uh you know the national health service
01:06:21.460in britain will save money and you know arguments you know around that kind of thing it was explicit
01:06:26.520but there i mean it was less than 24 hours after the votes came in and he said nope
01:06:31.200ending mass migrations off the table was less than 24 hours so there i feel like the
01:06:37.300metapolitical debate was won to an extent i mean it was not a resounding win but a majority of
01:06:43.460people voted for parties that were explicit about this issue but then the actual the way that
01:06:49.820translated on the parliamentary level they lost i wouldn't say that the metabolic debate in germany
01:06:56.480was won at all i wouldn't say that in german media remigration uh like um sending syrians
01:07:02.620home is normalized at all in the debate and this is where i would measure metapolitical victory so
01:07:07.080So I agree with you, it was a political victory for Merz and for rioting parties.
