  1. It's staggering to me that in just 50 years, we've moved from thinking civilisation would collapse from over population, to thinking civilisation will collapse from population decline.

  2. During the CHAZ - people who claimed to be protesting police racism and brutality, murdered a black teenager in cold blood for stealing from them: then destroyed evidence to ensure no one would be held accountable. Do not underestimate just how VICIOUS and unprincipled many people are as soon as they think they are free from punishment.

  3. Blaming "evil colonizers" is a very convenient alibi for the incompetence, dogmatism and corruption of post-colonial leaders. You can see this a lot in India where it's become fashionable to blame the British for all their problems: despite the fact their country wouldn't exist without Britain, all their institutions are based on British ones, and their economy magically started taking off once they dispensed with the socialist ideology they adopted for the first 40 years after independence.

  4. The reason "NPC" is such a compelling description for so many people, is they respond in such incredibly predictable ways. Bring up any subject in conversation, and you can predict word for word what they will say - it will be whatever the corporate/mainstream/regime media said about that subject most recently. It becomes striking when you realize, "Orange man bad" or "diversity is our strength" is really just the same verbal tick as "I took an arrow to the knee" and "Do you get to the cloud district often?"

  5. I really loved something Rudyard said in a recent video - "You wouldn't blame someone living in the Great Depression for being poor". A lot of people who feel they're failing in the nightmare of modern society - need to hear that message.

  6. More plausible than what we were told happened to a certain former proprietor of a certain island known for his connections among the elites.

  7. I actually think in a sense - you might be right. I suspect we will see a drift back towards religion as this century wears on just because so many people find life without it so utterly bleak and meaningless.
    112
  8. "The only thing missing is the global economic collapse" I think we're having one now - it's been going on since (at least) 2008 and has gotten continuously worse the whole time: people haven't really noticed because it's happened slowly, and there wasn't a one day event like the Wall Street crash that made everything unravel all at once. However if you look at the staggering decline in standard of living across the western world compared to the 80s and 90s - I think it undeniably has happened, and is continuing.

  9. At least in Children of Men they resisted the Islamic takeover.

  10.  @aAverageFan  If it hadn't been the British - it would have needed to be some other empire. Dozens of small feudal states don't come together voluntarily

  11. You sure? After Rome fell, it was well over a millennium before Europe started to reach comparable levels of prosperity and stability. And of course - that wouldn't have comforted a far-sighted Roman much since practically nothing was left of their culture.
    58
  12. "Our Great War’s a spiritual war" That's really true - staying sane is becoming the supreme struggle of the age.
    56
  13. I admire your "glass half full" attitude.
    55
  14. That's because the last three years has felt like ten.
    53
  15. Agreed - I think the easy availability of infinite amounts of prawn is dampening down a lot of the male anger and frustration out there.
    48
  16.  @genestone4951  "I often refer jokingly to this as Nazi Gardening" Fitness, dieting, childrearing, reading old books and working hard have all been declared "far right" - so I imagine gardening will be next.
    39
  17. "Two ways to view the world, so similar at times: two ways to rule to world, to justify their crimes" That line sounds a lot like Biden and Putin, or Biden and Xi, doesn't it?
    35
  18. I hate to put it this way - but I don't think feminism is going to be reined in by women moving towards moderation (all the signs right now are that they are doubling down). It will be reined in if and when men as a group say "ENOUGH!"
    30
  19. Agreed. It's honestly shocking as someone just entering middle-age to realize how massively quality of life has declined in the last 25 years. And we're all being gaslit to think it's the opposite.
    27
  20.  @tristenatorplaysgames6833  "he assassinated an Iranian general" For good reason. And in doing so he set a clear boundary with them which was respected for the rest of his presidency. Like almost everything Trump did it was a grounded and effective.
    22
  21. I'm merely horrified. But I'm gonna stick around just to spite the people who want me gone.
    19
  22.  star3torres  India's birth-rate is now below replacement level. Of course their population is still massive and their average age is still relatively young: but they are on the same path that we are.
    18
  23. The difference of course - is the depressed don't generally devote their time and effort to actively trying to make things worse for everyone else. I can speak as someone who's had depression.
    18
  24.  @philosopherpresident4896  Indeed. I've noticed war-hawks never seem to have the slightest intention of volunteering to put their own lives at risk.
    16
  25. "The most redpilled and misogynistic men were originally extremely romantic toward women" As a guy with the handle "IncurableRomantic" - I can confirm this to be true. At least the redpilled part.
    16
  26. "Going to think on that for a bit" That's why I watch this channel - it always gives me a lot to chew over and new and different perspectives on things.
    16
  27. Go read what it was like to be at Stalingrad. You might change your mind on "glory".
    14
  28. I'm seeing this this with all our serious social problems - anyone who raises them is immediately subject to a barrage of shaming and personal abuse.
    14
  29.  @rayres1074  Err. . . .are we supposed to be impressed that you wrote down some widely held opinions?
    13
  30.  @snapdragonzoroark  "if we did we wouldn't face much difficulties" I wouldn't recommend saying that in earshot of veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
    13
  31.  @kushagraverma4943  "You can't predict an alternate reality" That's literally what you just did - claimed that without the British all those small Indian states would magically have decided to unify through some process too laborious for you to think through. Without Britain, India would be like the DRC - just countless warring tribes.
    12
  32. The number of people trying, with a straight face, to claim that - "This is the best economy ever", absolutely blows my mind.
    10
  33. Speculating on the future is impossible without "fantasy" since by definition it hasn't happened.
    10
  34. Perfect microcosm of what is going on all over the continent.

  35. "I'm 22 years old" This makes me feel rather inadequate. . . . . .
    9
  36. Completely agree - and what makes it worse is that Britain would have been one of the better places to wait out a major global crisis: if it were not for elites deciding to import the entire 3rd world here in 15 years. The only ray of hope is that I think quite a lot of the immigrants would leave if we would just stop paying them to be here - but that requires people to willing to make radically different political choices, and I can't see that happening quickly enough to save us.

  37.  @filmbuff4  "People blame Jews because they're too scared to blame women" - Rudyard Lynch.
    9
  38. The other tactic they love is to demand - "Saaaaaaaauce????????????" And if you say anything that isn't a massive media conglomerate - they just laugh and dismiss it.
    8
  39.  @keyes858  It's true though
    7
  40. Rationally - no one wants things to just fall apart. But there's a part of me that can't help thinking, "Better an end with horror than horror without end".
    7
  41. "Tolerance" is the most pathetic excuse for virtue imaginable - it's saying, "We have no standards and will just put up with anything". A cowards morality.
    7
  42.  @globalnationalismyoutube  "Indian leaders don't blame the British for our post-colonial problems" Plenty of Indians do do - every time I make a comment on British India I'm deluged with hordes of dingbat Indian nationalists foaming at the mouth about supposed quadrillions of dollars "looted" from India and supposed trillions "murdered" by the British (the numbers keep getting more and more hysterical as they compete with each other to be the most extreme). There's never acknowledgment of all Britain did for the country or of their own poor policy decisions since independence.
    6
  43.  @BigSneed-q3w  It always makes me laugh when people just flat out state as you just have - "I can't answer any point you've made".
    6
  44. Thing is - the haters are already losing interest compared to the last video. If you just stay on mission and keep doing your thing, they have very little to latch onto.

  45.  @nikitaafanas  Isn't the moral of that story that strength doesn't always look like what you think it does? Not that strength is somehow un-virtuous>
    6
  46.  @Kneejair  Why are you watching a channel devoted to futurism if you think it's pointless?
    6
  47.  @kushagraverma4943  You didn't really provide an argument you just offered a counterfactual based on the theory that a loose coalition (that was too weak to fend off a country projecting tiny military forces from thousands of miles away) - would have magically developed the strength to become it's own continent spanning empire. It's an interesting piece of "what if" speculation - but its still a pure theoretical.
    5
  48.  @kushagraverma4943  Not at all - extrapolating from a real situation that really happened: is not remotely the same as inventing a pure theoretical and extrapolating from that. It's the difference between empiricism and ideology. Plus - I guarantee that if your rather fantastic scenario had happened: there would be people in other regions of India today blaming their woes on "centuries of oppression" by the Marathas. I've seen the phenomenon in my own country with the Celtic nations.

  49. This channel has done an amazing job of explaining how radical leftism is essentially just organized mental illness.

  50. I have observed the same thing with evangelical atheists - they're really touchy about being judged for their actions.

  51. Perfectly put. I applaud you mam.

  52. The elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about in Europe is the wholesale ethnic replacement going on. Native Europeans are waaaay below replacement level, and Africans and Muslims are flooding the continent at an almost unimaginable rate. Without a massive change in policy and incentives (and it has to happen in the next few years or it will be too late) the thread of Europe's civilisation for the last several thousand years: simply ends.
    4
  53.  @rizkyadiyanto7922  Yes the Muslim world is famous for its stability. . . . . . .

  54.  @TimBitts649  I don't follow music closely, so I might be wrong about this: but something I've noticed is you don't get female love-songs anymore. The female singers are either singing about sex, or "I don't need him". That does not seem a sign of a healthy society to me.

  55. "Everything the left says is projection" This is a meme that has become deeply profound insight into the nature of the world.
    3
  56.  @globalnationalismyoutube  "You spoke about British India - not independent India" No - I spoke about people in India today: in 2023.

  57. I spent some time in rural China about 20 years ago, and although people were poor compared to the west, it felt like an optimistic society where things were gradually getting better. It's heart-breaking to hear what's happened since then and how totally the CCP has crushed the hearts and souls of their people.

  58. "No one likes modernity" This is 100% correct. Even the people who fanatically push modernity are miserable beyond belief: and seek to take it out on everyone else.
    3
  59. "Gifted" would be the really accurate word.
    3
  60.  @kushagraverma4943  Quite a few people on this thread have explained to you how implausible your rather childish little nationalist fantasy is - but if you're determined to go on dreaming about it: go ahead. Hell why not imagine your loose little alliance of small medieval states conquering the whole world? And then sending rockets to Mars in the 1800s? Since you're in the realms of pure fantasy. I will stick to the actual history and the actual facts: which are that modern India is almost entirely a British creation. How ever much those facts might annoy some rather silly people who prefer nationalist day dreams.

  61. I'm not that young anymore - but I've become a lot more right wing and conservative in the last 10 years as I've watched leftism ripping our society to pieces and pushing behaviour that is just viscerally revolting. It seems to me we are rapidly coming to the simple choice of: "Right-wing traditionalist revolution: or our civilisation simply dies".
    3
  62.  @sasakithesolemnone8108  "Ironically, their behavior ends up being not that different from religious moral busybodies." Indeed. The people who talk most about religion - who bring it up all. the. time: have been atheists.
    3
  63. I've exhausted myself over the years having this conversation with people - Christianity is the basis for modern conceptions of individual rights and liberties: and it amazes me how much some people want that not to be true.
    3
  64. I really, really wish I could muster the conviction to become a Christian - I'm sure it would help, but I can't force it.

  65. I had a feeling this one might fall afoul of the powers that be.

  66.  @nikitaafanas  Perhaps you could enlighten me as to what your point was, maybe I misunderstood.

  67. "The British forced a bunch of tribes that were at best neutral to each other but at worst actively hostile into on Country" But surely "diversity is a strength"? That's what we're always being told in Europe. . . . . . .

  68. I'm genuinely impressed how this channel constantly manages to make me think about things in a new way, even when I don't agree with all of it.

  69. Did anyone else notice that as soon as the elites wanted cannon-fodder - they suddenly started encouraging white men to join the military again?
    2
  70.  @pdcdesign9632  You clearly don't understand that concept if you got that from my post.

  71. That point about European racism moderating because colonialism eliminated the most repellent practices - wow, that's why I watch this channel. Because it makes you think about issues in new ways.

  72. Exactly. The whole BLM insurrection was an orchestrated effort by the establishment to violently overthrow the president. That's exactly the kind of thing that happens before civil wars start.

  73. I tried to tell a member of my family some of the stuff in this episode. She said - "Why don't you try listening to something more cheerful?" This is why I am black pill: people just don't want to know.
    1
  74.  @ShadyRonin  I agree - but the first step to dealing with a problem is acknowledging it's existence. In the west no one will talk about this because they're terrified of being "accused" of wanting more white babies. Or or being seen as being anti-feminist. The only acceptable response is "more immigration", which is already causing a lot of problems.
    1
  75.  @rayres1074  "No, I'm just curious" No you're not. You're trying to do a "gotcha": and you're doing it using the "psychic" approach, where you scatter-gun enough random things out that you're guaranteed to hit *something*: at which point you claim to be deeply prescient. Some tedious leftist channel told you this approach would make you sound smart and let you "own the Trumptards" or some such parlance - and you believed them because you didn't think through how lazy it was. This is the difference in what I was talking about and what you're trying to claim - repetition of false-hoods by an "authority" figure in media: vs conclusions intelligently arrived at through analysis and deduction in defiance of unrelenting propaganda and pressure to conform.

  79. Everything that gives humans mental stability is being systematically stripped away: family, faith, community, traditions, culture, productive work, common identity etc. Humans were not designed to have no purpose, no values and nothing in common with anyone else.

  81. TBF - the "impossible peace treaty": was a lot more lenient than the one the Germans imposed on a defeated Russia in 1917. Had they gone a little easier they might have forestalled the rise of the Bolsheviks.

  82. Versailles was a much more lenient treaty than the one the German's imposed on Russia.

  86. The massive proliferation of "hate speech" laws and censorship across the west - means the people at the top know what they're doing is unpopular.

  87. I couldn't see any point signing up to "serve your country" when the ruling elites openly hate the country they're supposedly recruiting you to fight for.

  88. Looking at this as an outsider - it really does look like the woke elites in Canada openly despises most of their fellow countrymen and would rather they vanished. A phenomenon that as a Brit I can instantly recognize since our woke elites also despise us and would rather we vanished too.

  92. I've never been a feminist, because I've never thought feminism had much to do with women. It was always really a neo-Marxist movement Erin Pizzey - the founder of the women's refuge movement. Once you understand that feminism is a beast of Communism: the extremism, the hatred of family, and the obsession with destruction, all make a lot more sense.
    1
  93. I'll tell you who'll lose - Europe. We'll have to put with our vast Muslim population going mental, and then we'll be expected to take millions more "refugees" which will only make the problem worse. Not to mention our energy prices will rocket and so tank our economies.

  94. The only genuine progress of the last 100 years has been technological and scientific - morally and spiritually we have declined and declined.

  95. Indian nationalists venerating the Mughals is one of the most bizarre pieces of historical illiteracy ever.

  96. "Gifted" is the word you're looking for. The Biden regime gifted billions of dollars of military hardware to the enemy.

  97.  @littlebitoftrolling2859  Ladies and gentlemen I present as my example, exhibit one - almost 80 years after independence, and dingbat Indian nationalists are still dribbling away about their slums being somehow the fault of the people who brought them modern institutions and modern technology. Israel was founded at the same time as India, by people who had just survived the *holocaust*, and they managed to create a modern and developed society despite being surrounded by people trying to destroy it. Culture matters, leadership matters, and blaming people who are long dead for all your problems - is a loser's mentality.

  98.  @zuesmaya8167  "Indian system is not based on British system, but mostly on American system" I was going to reply to your comment - then I read that part and decided you are SO lacking in the most basic relevant knowledge, there's not a lot of point. "Historians often rate the ICS, together with the railway system, the legal system, and the Indian Army, as among the most important legacies of British rule in India" - Citation from Ramesh Kumar Arora and Rajni Goyal, Indian public administration: institutions and issues (1995) Sadly this is typical of Indian nationalists - low IQ, low education, very high levels of emotion: and a tendency to engage in childish fantasy.

  101.  @roccovolpetti7363  No kid - you're the one replying to me, you try making a comment that actually addresses something I said. You don't get to run into the room and scream "I did a massive poo!" and then demand the grown ups treat you as an equal.

  107. You ended the video with a plea for a victorious right to be "nice" to the defeated left. I see some problems with this: 1. Would the left ever show any compassion to us? 2. If the right were merciful, we all know the left would instantly start plotting and infiltrating all over again. 3. The analogies you gave of the US and English civil wars were both over single issues - absolute monarchy and slavery, once those were resolved, there was no reason the losers couldn't come back into the system. This is a totally different situation: the left would never actually embrace anything we would ever believe in and would never accept any kind of stable compromise.
    1
  108. The code of silence in the establishment media over admitting our society is anything other than heaven on earth - is the creepiest thing imaginable. Almost everyone seems to be angry, miserable, scared and resentful: and the mainstream media's universal policy seems to be "Call anyone who says there are problems a far-right conspiracy theorist".

  109. I'm British - and yes, we are a totalitarian society in all but name. The government recently sent people to prison for "lying" about a major terrorist attack: and when it came out that those people had been telling the truth and the government was in fact lying - we were told that those people still deserved to be in prison anyway.

  110. I've increasingly come to the same conclusion - the west has scorned religion for three generations now (an eye-blink in historical terms), and society is visibly falling apart.

  111. I'm increasingly convinced that feminism, more than any other single factor, has destroyed western civilisation.

  112.  @bobbycarlin6136  "hitting an aircraft carrier at sea is a very complicated process" Sure. But stopping super-sonic guided missiles from hitting a ship is also a very complicated process. It cuts both ways: and the Iranians only have to get lucky once to score a massive symbolic victory and inflict a huge blow to American prestige.

  114. I suspect this may be why the elites are so keen on importing vast numbers of military age men from Africa and the Middle East into Europe - they want their own army in case the European men ever start to decide they don't like being replaced.

  115. I think Youtube started to get a bit worried a couple of years ago that it was going to create its own competitor platform by throwing everyone who wasn't a raving wokie: so they eased back 1% on the censorship. The recommendations system is still course vastly skewed to make sure certain facts and topics get buried.
