Comments by "Steve Watson" (@stevewatson6839) on "Why Oswald Mosley turned to Fascism" video.

  1.  @samsonsoturian6013  Start your own channel, mate. Where are you anyhow, "feudalism" wasn't the same across Europe, nevermind England. What we had is described as "Bastard Feudalism" which isn't at all the same thing.

  2.  @TheImperatorKnight  It's the "Disappearing Commisar" thingie, Lewis. The org behind Wikipedia is Commie after all's said.

  3.  @Fanakapan222  Most of us are too busy living, mate.

  4. Peron and Peronists pretty much make Lewis' argument. You can find a similar fusion of what we ignorantly suppose opposites and rivals in Muhammad 'Abdu (1849-1905) an Egyptian thinker who can be found at the root of both Arab secularism and Sunni Muslim fundamentalism; both claiming him as a founder.

  5.  @TheImperatorKnight  It is frustrating; but we all do it. You can see thru Halder's distortions but similar distortions of the "Table Talk"? We are all great at bursting others bubbles; our own, not so much. The first person we fool is ourself. Plenty of work has been done by psychologists on how difficult it is not to go along with outright nonsense if everyone around you is hellbent on nonsense and you don't even know you aren't being allowed to see otherwise. After seven or so years of almost everyone going along with barking wibble since it dawned the Donald might actually win the primary and we actually might see off the EUrine, and the even more accelerated and accentuated daft of the last three years; it is actually surprising how many folk have accepted your argument or accepted that you have an argument. I'm surprised you find it surprising you get vehement pushback; especially when you point out how suspiciously often things go tits up and what progress we've been making suddenly goes into reverse. You are fighting human psychology and several ruddy great arses, nevermind a thumb, on the scales.

  6. Trawl the back catalogue; Roosevelt and his Bad Deal are covered in several places.

  7.  @finlaymcdiarmid5832  That was the EUrine from even before the git-go, when it was just a Francophone loon's brain fart.

  8. Happened before WW1, mate. Look at the 1906 - 1916 "Liberal" govt. A Socialist's wet dream a lot of the time; even the King was half-Commie!

  9. He's just another Fake Fakir, but in a suit.

  10. You are carting round a BUF sigel and you are surprised? You are dressing up as a duck and wandering in front of a Punt Gun. What was it gave you away at seven, pray?

  11. And home of Critical Theory, the basis of Wokism.

  12.  @noreply-7069  What is this guy saying? I don't see his posts, but others think them meanigful, if OTT.

  13.  @jacobbrown6250  That's what I meant. Interesting chap who references interesting folk. I can't quite connect the dots though. A little bit too out of left field for me and there are too few hours in the day. TIKs view of it all would interest me too. Another pair of eyes not looking at it from the usual points of reference.
    2
  14.  @RealCeress  Take your comment and TIK's. As you look at the screen they are clearly seperate. Zoom out, you won't be able to tell one from the other. Catch my drift?

  15. Franco was a typical Latin caudillo: a conservative authoritarian. The easiest tell is the far lower body-count. Fascists, the Phalange, attached themselves to him, but he wasn't attached to them.

  16. Poll tax replaced the domestic rates; council tax "replaced" the Poll Tax. More like put a pair of knickers on it imho! The Domestic Rates if I recall properly were a part of Liberal governance before they went off the deep end.

  17. Stolen - with accreditation.😏

  18. There are a number of those stumbles; we only see them on the page and never hear them.

  19. In the sense of the original sense - false knowledge. It is a coinage of Eirēnaios; not something Valentinus would have identified as.

  20. There is monarchy and there is monarchy. Henry VIII/Anne would be where I'd fall probably.

  21. 4D more like!

  22. Probably only lost in translation. I thought Lewis made it quite clear that was the case.

  23.  @massimogiuseppesfondrini  I do it myself: I just had to edit a comment I made elsewhere because I made an assumption I only caught going back and re-reading it hours later.

  24.  @MisterBoggins  Yes, pre-1890 Liberals; referenced several times by Lewis. Pay attention at the back and stop trying to look up the girls skirts.

  25.  @mnk9073  Who is fighting a strawman?
    1
  26.  @MisterBoggins  Yes, we do. Did I or Lewis say otherwise? You seem to genuinely not know what you are talking about while talking about it. Are there two of you in there?

  27. I don't think you are catching Lewis' drift.

  31. Calling in the New World to redress the balance of the Old? Where have I heard a line very similar to that before; everyones favourite drunken uncle a plagiarist? Turns out Mosely is quoting/reusing/repurposing Geouge Canning from 1826. Also note everyones favourite drunk uncle also bounces between parties, and malevolently rather than benevolently as I'm getting the strong impression Mosely was doing before he went "wrong". I'm going to have to deep dive this myself. My wallet is NOT going to like you, Lewis! I'm at ~26 mins and this is your most polished and most ehgaged video as far as I can recall. Well done that man!

  32. Except he was an ENGLISH nationalist; not a fecking complete mong.

  33. They never did map onto Anglosphere politics at all well in the first place. The terms come from an entirely different and deeply bollocks political culture from our perspective.

  34. Wait, TWO brain cells? How'd that happen? 🙂

  35. There is monarchy and there is monarchy. Crown-in-Parliament Queen Anne stylie is a LOT different than today's bollocks for instance.

  36.  @Chud_Bud_Supreme  Depends on your Humanist. All we have in common is we put man front and centre and relegate "gods"/"God" to twat waffle.

  37. That is common amongst freedom absolutists in the British Isles. They came for our games; our comics; they came for "Pop" culture.
    1
  38.  @TheImperatorKnight  I thought it was the algorithm! Seriously; you can't be too much of a free speech absolutist. If Alphabet do it, you can't go wrong doing the opposite is my rule of thumb.

  39.  @jrton1366  'kin 'ell. Lewis' point about Dickens goes for the Kraut shit too. Too close to the problem and arse about face.

  40. TIK is TIK and labels are for boxes. See his bibliography at the top of the page under the vid. "America's Great Depression" (Two editions); "Man Economy, and State with Power and Market"; and "What has the Government Done to Our Money?" all get a mention. His video "1946: The Greatest Depression in US History (prior to 2020)" and its' specific bibliography will probably answer your questions.

  41. Xtians are too much invested in their own bollocks, tah but no tah.

  42. Lewis is talking about the outcomes of that move; what you are talking about is secondary to his point.

  43.  @punishedgloyperstormtroope8098  We might pay attention - except you are a loony.

  44.  @TheImperatorKnight  Her better ideas were just watered down Powell. I'd be interested in hearing your take on John Enoch someday.

  45. Tails don't wag dogs; contrary to your impression.

  46. UKIP are still here. A Nigel Farage does not a political party make.

  47. You dispute a core argument; yet it is a "Great" video? You are a tad confused, mate.

  48. See under the video; the sources are listed there and there is also a list of the channel's broader source material.

  49.  @posham219  He's a spammer. I'm only seeing his comment because it is misplaced, LOL!!!

  50.  @flashgordon6670  You have an attention span that makes goldfish look good. I rest my case and hope this helps. /s

  51. Open a good dictionary; you'll find every term has half a dozen definitions. You are not a native English-speaker; perhaps the majority of TIK's audience is American, and we are English. That is three different ways of defining things right there; nevermind the different definitions in our respective countries/cultures. Original meaning by all means; but whose?

  52. We're living in a bloody tampon, mate!

  53.  @Darko_CC  Roosevelt was a foockin eejit and probably Stalin's bitch to boot.

  54.  @bradojacko8247  Just work your way through the recent back catalogue (Apart from the Battlestorms and other military asides, mind.) There is plenty to get your teeth into.
    1
  55.  @bradojacko8247  Niche topic. It's the crazy du jour, but even if you define things widely; you ain't talking more than 5% of peeps. Ernst Röhm has come up a couple of times; but as a political threat to his knibs. Other things are just incidental. As they are to the vast majority of people the vast majority of the time. Not our community, mate; so not our interest.

  56. Over two millenia of hiving after practically all the worst ideas in the sphere of the socio-political unconsciously (and generating most of the rest as reaction!)? That is straining the credible just a tad.

  57. There are several ways to look at this; none of them can be described as "the proper way". They probably aren't even mutually exclusive. Widen your horizons, eh?

  58.  @sorsocksfake  Comedy has ALWAYS commented on and sent up spolotics and politicians. ALWAYS the laugh brings us up short with "YES! That/they is/are daft. From "Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much!" - Arcanians; Aristophanes - to 'Private Eye', which combines being the being the best magazine of political satire in the world with being THE Ne Plus Ultra of newspapers. Your Old and Gray Ladies can only dream of the heights Hislop's crowd have conquered. Now GTF out of i,t you pretentious prat.

  59.  @anatolyl  India ISN'T Britain, you loon.

  60. Niche? These are amongst the most, if not THE most, important topics for our times. Something is slouching toward Bethlehem as we speak.

  61. See Glenn Beck's "Antifa Part 4" it'll help you orientate this video in the American context. Perhaps fixated too much on American "Exceptionality" - I'd argue there ain't no such badger - but it's a fair stab.

  62. What government was the drunken twat waffle part of in 1910 - 11 when the footings and foundations of our labour union woes were dug and put in?

  63. Promptly chaining yourselves to NATO and the EU for more of the same; this time on stilts! Things have to have been REALLY bad for such a unanimous psychotic break right across Central and Eastern Europe. "Useful Innocents" is a Yugo coinage too!

  64. This IS Lewis' being short! LOL!!!

  65.  @jimmydesouza4375  Except its bollocks and you'll miss the uniparty in Britain; the Dominions; and USA.

  66. Glenn Beck, a recommend from one of your countrymen upthread, gives a pretty clear American perspective in "Antifa Part 4".

  67. This is why you might be the last but one gen of Chemistry Graduates. You can't do, teach, or learn STEM if neo-Lysenkoism, cod scientism, and critical bollocks have usurped your College. The Western Mind is Closing - Again! WAKE THE FUCK UP.

  68. Sorry mate, your balls just insults the average persons intelligence. Take your 'splaining somewhere else. Here it doesn't wash.

  69.  @noreply-7069  Peasant or pedant; either 'll do for you.

  70. Not a Fascist: a typical Latin caudillo with a lot more savvy than most; a conservative authoritarian, monarchist even. King Juan Carlos was his political HEIR, ffs. The body-count, chum. Ir's a rough but distinct tell. Pinochet was in the same vein.

  71. This is the meeting about the meeting about the agenda about the meeting. A very common distractor. Mosely was wrong in what we need to be doing BUT we need to be DOING.

  72. Thank you for being the only person here so far to spell Laissez-faire correctly and not confuse it with a cinematic dog or worse!

  73. If you want a fair take on that kind of thing and the similarities/differences v the USA; see Helen Dale and David Starkey too.

  74. Freedom; the Individual, Family and Local Community; Science; Common Law. Or it's just twatwaffle.
