  1. That might be good for individual children, but leaving the loonies in charge to teach the masses isn't good for the country. The system must be forcibly changed.

  3. Fear of being called "Racist" is the Western European weakness. That weakness is being exploited by people who wish to see Europeans made into minorities in their own homelands by the unlimited immigration of people who already have homelands of their own.

  5. Kinda highlights why you should have cared before though, doesn't it.

  6. The SNP isn't really Nationalist. They're just Globalists using anti-English sentiment for tactical reasons. Ask any SNP member if (a) there is an identifiable ethnic/ancestral group called the Scots, and (b) if those people have a right to remain the large majority of the population within Scotland's borders. You'll find out pretty quickly what they're really about.

  7. Arguably a lack of genuine democracy got us into this mess. Most of the public agreed with Enoch Powell. Had their will been manifest in government we'd have avoided so much trouble. Most of the really damaging social changes have happened against the will of the majority public.

  8.  munchkin42  No one is claiming 100% purity ever existed. Arguing that the ethnic Scots, English, Welsh, and Northern Irish shouldn't be turned into minorities in their own countries is not an argument for 100% purity.

  9.  @stevbosh102  I suspect Blair is of the "to make an omelet you must break a few eggs" school of thought. That's certainly the impression he gave in all other endeavors (the Iraq War for example). He just does not seem to care about collateral damage of policy. Maybe I'm wrong and they really were spectacularly naive. But it seems more like carelessness.

  11. The further away we get from an era of genuine white racism (e.g. segregation in the USA) the more extreme the excuses for certain people's continued failings have to become, as the only alternative is self-responsibility. So a BAME person born in the late 1990s and living in the UK can't just be a failure due to their own incompetence, they have to be a victim - at least according to progressive belief.

  12. That Conservatism sounds an awful lot like Classical Liberalism.

  13. Leftists believe Palestine belongs to Arabs because they have lived there for a very long time. However when it comes to countries that were historically white since time immemorial the Left rejects the same logic and instead argue that those lands must belong to everyone and anyone. This double-standard reveals the fundamentally anti-white nature of the Left.

  15. We must have watched 4 or 5 different Holocaust movies when I was in high school, but nothing that covered Communist atrocities. The result, intended or not, is that I came away thinking only "Right-Wing bad."

  16.  @maurituomisto8007  You're referring to what is now called Libertarianism. There has always been a split between those modus vivendi Liberals who believe in negative rights and a small "night-watchman" state, and those Progressive Liberals who believe in positive rights and that the state should be involved in social engineering. Sure, it's easier to get to Socialist Egalitarianism from the latter position, which is why we see so much overlap between Progressive Liberalism and Marx-inspired Socialism, and why followers of those two beliefs often agree on many things. But it would be wrong to call Progressive Liberals Marxists, or even really Socialists. They aren't interested in state ownership of the means of production, they're broadly comfortable with making lots of money in Liberal economies, they want their kids to go to expensive private schools, and so on. But they feel some guilt about the inequality that naturally exists in Liberal societies and try to reconcile their Liberalism with their egalitarian sympathies. Someone like Soros is the archetypal Progressive Liberal Capitalist.

  18.  @realMaverickBuckley  I didn't say anything about forced repatriation (I don't think it is even doable, even putting aside the moral concerns). I suggest that the nations of Europe - like England, Sweden, Norway, Ireland - could simply say: "That's enough immigration and diversity for us, thanks. We will be turning away people who seek to come here from now on." Is that racist? Of course it is. But is it in the self-interest of the Swedes, the Norwegians, the English and Irish (and so on_? Yes. So how about we stop caring so much that considering our own self-interest will get us called racist by people who don't have our self-interest at heart anyway, and calmly, politely, but firmly assert our right to control demographics in our favor. Bear in mind we're going to be cursed as "racist, supremacist, privileged, colonialist" anyway regardless of what we do. There is nothing wrong with preferring relative homogeneity to mass-diversity.

  20. "Multiculturalism" means the incoming migrants get to keep their culture, while traditional inhabitants must have no other culture or identity than one that welcomes their own demographic displacement and cultural erosion.

  21.  @Neil-z7n  Individualism can be taken too-far. For much of Western history the family - not the individual - was the most important unit of society. Moving from that model to our hyper-individualist societies has produced mixed results. Some positive, some negative.

  25. When people say Cancel-Culture doesn't exist I point them towards the example of Sir Roger Scruton being sacked from his government advisory position in 2019 after a Left-Wing journalist made up a series of lies about things Scruton allegedly said in an interview (he hadn't, it eventually tuned out). After the sacking, that journalist posted a photograph of himself sipping champagne on social media celebrating "claiming an enemy scalp" so to speak. That's cancel-culture.

  29. Put your real name to those opinions publicly then. You can hardly condemn an individual for not risking his neck when you won't yourself. He's taking this debate further into politically-incorrect territory than most would dare. Not far enough for many of us, sure. But it's a welcome development. Change won't come from one individual, but from many people gradually dragging the debate in the right direction.

  30. All public broadcasters in western countries need to go. Such institutions inevitably become nests of a particular class of people who will always use their positions to advance their agenda. There's no reason why ordinary taxpayers should be forced to pay their wages.

  31.  @louislemar796  Washington and the Federalists were clearly, unambiguously Nationalists. There's no denying this. They consciously created a nation-state, inspired in large part by England. Nationalism doesn't argue the nation-state is the primary unit of moral value. It argues that nations should either be created or upheld where they exist, and that the liberties and self-interests of individual citizens must be balanced with their collective-interests as a nation. Individual rights are a contributor to the USA's success, but by no means the only or sole cause. Try this thought experiment: In 1789, take the exact same set of ideas - the exact same constitution - and put it in Iceland. Would Iceland have become become exactly as powerful as the USA? No. Not even remotely. Geography being the first of many reasons. Location matters, as does population size (and content), as do natural resources. The vast, resource-rich, continental United States was obtained by violent conquest. That's isn't a criticism of it or a call for Americans to feel shame, just an acknowledgment of historical fact. The individual liberty stuff came later. Take the violent conquest of that land by Europeans out of the equation and you don't get the USA's success, or even the USA at all. Then there's the USA's geopolitical competitors in Europe destroying themselves in two world wars, and so on... In short, it isn't just a set of ideas or rights that explain the USA's success, though they are undoubtedly an important part of the explanation.

  32. Yes, and you'll be surprised to know it wasn't women. Look for an article titled "Women used to more likely to vote Conservative than men but that changed in 2017." It has figures going back to 1945.

  35. Remember back in the 1990s when Left-Liberals used to virtue signal for Tibet? Perfect example. Now the same people are shocked to discover the Dalai Lama is a Nationalist. "Well duh!" I fully expect the same people to one day be shocked to discover the Palestinians might not be keen on being outnumbered in their own lands by Africans (to say nothing of their attitude to homosexuals).

  37. My suspicion is that most of the people within Britain who attack the British Empire also want to build an empire based upon "woke" Neo-Marxism. They aren't against empire in principle. They would happily sign away all British sovereignty to international bodies.

  38. One thing you can be certain of, no matter how bad things get, Liberals and Leftists will declare it wonderful and denounce anyone who disagrees. School children will be taught that the past was horrible and everything is better now. This happens already.

  42.  @Fenristhegreat  Those (natural rights) are abilities. I'm not sure why they should be called rights. It seems needlessly confusing. A bear has the ability to take a dump in the woods, but to say it has a right to do so seems like an abstraction.

  47.  @dave161256  Internal borders in Europe, sure. But it's only relatively recently that mass-immigration from outside Europe has become common. Also I think you're discounting the role of the Cold-War and NATO in keeping Western Europe largely conflict free since WW2.

  48.  @dave161256  Europeans more or less learned (after much bloodshed and a very long period of time) how to live side by side with one another. Adding millions of Arabs and Africans to the mix is madness that will throw Europe into violent conflict yet again (and already is: terrorism). Right-Wing "Populism" as you call it, is a much needed reaction to the mad path Europe is on. If you're seriously worried about the Right-Wing backlash (which I doubt) there is a simple solution. Cut the immigration from outside Europe. Reduce it back the levels it was several decades ago before the Neo-Liberal Era (1980s onwards). Of course the Left will never agree to this, because they can never accept that their (as they see it) good intentions could produce unintended consequences. You could have sat down the German Left in the 1910s and 1920s told them: "Look, if you carry on trying to push this Communism stuff, and the extreme social degeneracy, you will - as night follows day - produce an extreme Fascist reaction that could lead the country to disaster and cause the death of millions" and they'd still continue pushing it.

  50.  @hooligan9794  Depends how you're using the word "Pride" in that context. You can be proud to be your father's son without taking personal credit for his achievements or blame for his sins. To do so involves understanding the value of what you have inherited, being grateful for it, cherishing it, and passing it on in turn to your children. That's the Conservative project in a nutshell, and what we mean by "Pride."
