Not everyone on "your side" is on your side.
Most are only interested in your dollars, some are misguided, some are nefarious and hateful, and only a handful want the best for you.
A significant number of the commentators and podcasters on the political right do not really care about the issues and neither have a strong moral compass. I have noticed this during covid times and have been raising this issue since. They are only after money.
If the money takes them towards Christ, they will promote it, and become the most devout Christian on the face of it while indulging in all manners of debauchery on the back of it. If the money takes them to support a President they will do it, if the the money then takes them to oppose the same President they supported a minute ago they will do it. If the money leads them to support the sworn enemies of the West they will find a way to do. And if the money leads them to support Islamist maniacs they will do it.
The grifter gene is strong in them and it is all they care about. No integrity. And they will hide behind grandiose narratives of free speech, not wanting wars, and wanting to protect their people. How are they any different then from the political left? Not so much. They all change on a dime for a bit of dime.
Stop putting your trust in a people who don't care about. People who want you to spiral into a doom fetish so you keep buying what they are selling regardless what it does to your mental and physical health. People who want you to get out of the "matrix" only to fall trap into their special casino matrix where the house always wins. Stop trusting people who would eagerly sell you a conspiratorial narrative than encourage you to actually see the truth. People who look for simple explanations for complex situations not necessarily because that is the only thing their minds can understand but because they know that is the simplest way to entice you into their nihilistic trap.
Be done with these people. They are not your heroes. They were never your heroes. And they have done absolutely nothing to better your lives apart from singing you false lullabies. Not everyone on "your side" is on your side. These people are not your friends, you are their customers, and they intend to hide as much as they can from you in fine print.
Let’s stop choosing sides blindly. Let’s stop forming conclusions to conversations we have never had or haven’t explore fully enough. No, I am not talking about fence sitting, I am talking about making informed choices, and not being led like sheep especially by those who warn you about being led like sheep while being a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I get attacked from all sides because I do not care much about the sides. I care about our collective future more than I care about my individualistic future. Because I have aligned the prosperity of my future with that of Britain. Your wellbeing then becomes my wellbeing.
The Western civilisation is build on the notion of depending on each other’s expertise in their fields while maintaining individual rights so that no monopoly, state, guild, or private enterprise, can take away the autonomy away from our decision making. We must not let ourselves descend into chaos where we are told to become and fooled into becoming our own doctors, engineers, politicians, military experts and everything else in between, as some form of anarchic society where we are good at nothing but at harming ourselves with our own foolish delusions.
Anarchy or a wild west Libertarian utopia is not a revered dream it is a Western failure. A failure that rather have you destroy centuries upon centuries of your heritage built upon by your ancestors, improving upon at each turn, so that you can run away from your personal and social responsibilities in these hard times created by your collective negligence. I ask again, how different it is then from the extremes of the left? Wake up to it. There is a lot of work to do.
This is the guy some of you have been listening, the guy who is blown away by shopping carts of Moscow and thinks Qatar is the biggest defender of Israel. Incredibly stupid, Bought out, or Sold out. Have you pick. Many are like him as well. They go where the money speaks:
I think a huge reason why this kind of people get huge audiences is because a significant majority of the American population, who are their audience base, are that uninformed and easily swayed. They also don’t have time to investigate so they depend on the bullet point people. Problem is also that if you are a well informed person you can make well informed bullet points, but if you are only a bullet point informed person then you will only use the points that sells your snake oil Popularity doesn’t equal being right or having expertise, it depends on who is your audience.
Konstantin is very right here to call out the misinformation and deliberate wrong analysis being spread by people like Tucker. But there is another element of it here which people like him have used for a while now.
Be as stupid and corrupt as you want to be, and then say thank God or declare Christ is King, so that you can claim they are after you because of your faith. This is not a new tactic and people need to stop falling for it.
When it comes to the idea that the only reason why the Muslims are radicalised against the West is because of American interventionism in Middle East, here is an old clip of Christopher Hitchens breaking that myth perfectly:
At this moment, I am not entirely sure if calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran is the best thing. But maybe Khamenei’s regime has been weakened enough for its own people to revolt and change the regime. That is the best way of peace in the region, if the people there get to do it themselves, rather than America or any other country doing it for them like in Iraq. Revolution from within is what is needed for long lasting positive change. But have they been weakened enough, or is this going to throw Khamenei a lifeline?
One thing is for sure, I don’t really think many know what the f#@k they are doing.
I don’t think Iran or their ilk will ever stop no matter what, as long as they have their theocracy intact. Israel understands this and it can no longer not do anything about while there is an opportunity to do something about it.
This fairytale that the West can make peace with the Islamic world will come crashing down in time. They will return to their default setting, even Saudi Arabia and UAE, if they don’t reform their religion which is near to impossible to do anyway. You will have a period of peace maybe that will
You can only warn a foolish, entitled child, about the consequences of their course so much.
You can only hope, on their behalf, that the innocence lost with stupidity, won’t ruin them forever.
The problem is, we have to live their consequences with them…
I wish I had words of comfort Momus, I really do.
Be well
Firstly Momus thank you for your Urban Scoop Jerusalem Project presentation.
You were first class. I wish you were in charge of this country or at least a major influencer.
Back to topic.
This is a simple situation.
Weak western democracies versus Islam with 1400 years of evil intimidation, misery, deceit and death behind it.
That's it.
I think it does come down to choosing a side after all.
And mass immigration favours the expansion of that ideology.
The Irish are starting to show their teeth.
If they continue to resist the weakness of the police will be shown and they will be brushed aside.
We need to do the same in England. In bigger numbers but we lack unity of purpose at the moment so there will need to be more migrant depredations - these are inevitable - and some big terrorist attacks.
May be then the BBC licence payers will finally wake up.
The answer is not going to be politics.
The Government only respond to intimidation by mass numbers of very angry people - or as we have seen - by Islam.
