A Nation is a People, Not Just "Values" or "Ideas"
This Week In Media | 16th - 28th July 2024
Happy Sunday everyone. I’ve been busy over the last two weeks.
The theme of recent media appearances has been the need for indigenous majority host populations of English-speaking nations to seek their own distinct political representation — just as hostile immigrated populations do when all political parties pander to their collective demographic interests, or just as the majority populations in homogenous nations like Japan or Israel already rightly have.
This is a radioactive proposition in the liberal paradigm, which insists that a state is only legitimate insofar as it allocates resources to proving its antiracist credentials to anyone from anywhere, in limitless quantities, who wants to claim them.
But as Matt Walsh recently pointed out, ahead of the American election: politicians already pander to all clientele racial, ethnic, religious, and gender-and-sexual-identity groups except for White men.
While the term ‘White’ is an American import, it is true that the traditions and sentiments which friendly outsiders respect about England are a product solely of the host population with an ancestral tie to the land. Those people are the custodians of that land, and its institutions, values, and ideals.
No appeals to ‘liberal democratic values’ will provide something for new entrants to assimilate into. I do not care if the lying communists at HOPE not hate see it as an affront to their worldview: the English people must have a party which represents their interests — which will, by extension, make the country a welcoming place for the limited number of new arrivals which seek to join our tribe.
As James Orr recently echoed at Nat Con: a home is only hospitable because of how its owners keep it. When the homeowners are outnumbered by guests — particularly those who rearrange the furniture, track mud in the carpet, and will not leave when asked — then it ceases to be a home, and ceases to be what attracted guests to it in the first place.
Immigration is to Blame for Rising Violence Against Women and Girls
Tuesday saw wall-to-wall coverage about the threat posed by Andrew Tate and similar influencers to women and girls in Britain.
While Tate’s pimp-turned-imam routine makes him an unsuitable role model to a generation of young British men, he is not blame for this increase in violence.
None of the coverage dared mention the world-historical-record rise in immigration from morally repugnant, often Islamic countries in the Middle East and North & Sub-Saharan Africa, where women and children are worth only what the most powerful and predatory men think they should be, relative to their pursuit of power and pleasure.
I brought this up on a debate on GB News, and my interlocutor, Rebecca Reid, attempted to marginalise the point by not addressing it, then obfuscating that this was a global issue — when, in fact, the report was produced by the National Police Chiefs Council and confined its scope to England and Wales, which have been the disproportionate recipients of such immigration since 2019.
Reid saw fit to block me on X at some point before or after the exchange, despite me never having interacted with her before. So the accusation she made on air, that I am not interested in addressing this problem, seems like raw projection, given her liberal egalitarian ideology makes her unwilling to call out the perpetrators beyond them being indiscriminate “men.”
Until we do so, and restrict access to internet pornography and immigration accordingly, then our sisters, daughters, wives, girlfriends, mothers, friends, and loved ones will remain at risk.
The Native British Population Deserve Political Representation
On Deprogrammed this week, Harrison and I discussed the future of Reform UK with former Deputy Leader, Ben Habib.
We put to him this proposition: that the party must become the political body of the English tribe. Given he, his father, and his son’s wife have all married into that tribe, Ben resonated with the framing.
I was not surprised that he did: he is a gentleman, and my countryman. He recognises that the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion agenda pursued by every public institution is racism directed at the indigenous English population — particularly heterosexual men.
As such, putting the interests of those subjugated, exploited English people first will create a welcoming environment for friendly newcomers to join, if the English so wish to admit them.
I should stress: immigration, assimilation, and intermarriage only should happen at the behest, in the interests, and with the generosity of the native British host populations in their respective parts of the United Kingdom.
Despite what Diversity mandates in adverts may lead terrestrial television audiences to believe, there is no organic appetite for Britain to become a mixed-race-by-marriage nation. In the 2011 Census, only 9% of the population were in inter-ethnic marriages; including between those born in Britain, but not of a native British ethnicity. Statistics are hard to find as of the 2021 Census; possibly because, as in many other areas, the government has neglected to publish statistics on national origin, ethnicity, and immigration status. In much larger, more ethnically pluralistic America, the intermarriage rate is still around 11% for non-Hispanic Whites.
Given most peoples are attracted to features approximate to their own ethnicity, I don’t think a sexual melting pot is a prospect anytime soon. It is neither organically desired, nor possible to enforce by fiat. The rate and sources of immigration should be regulated to reflect the desires of the host population accordingly.
The BBC’s Anti-White Racism
In The Critic this week, I wrote about the BBC’s representation drives being window-dressing for institutional anti-White racism. The hatred for the host population oozes from every exposed orifice of our modern liberal state.
If its programming isn’t representative of majority opinion, or delivering market competitiveness with rival streaming services, then what is the purpose of the 50:50 scheme? What is being made present, if not the concerns of the viewing public?
When the BBC is called “Woke” by the millions of Brits cancelling their licence fee payments, what they mean is that racial, gender, and sexual minority identities, and women, have been deemed sacred categories worthy of promotion and patronage, at the expense of the indigenous English majority.
As Eric Kaufmann recently wrote, Woke means making “sacred totems [out] of historically marginalized race, gender, and sexual identity groups.” Its means of doing so, as literal communist Ash Sarkar said, is “the redistribution of power, wealth, and land along race, gender, and class lines.” (Somewhat of a tautology, when Sarkar redefines “working class” to mean “diverse” students.) The purpose of every beam in what Curtis Yarvin calls “the Cathedral” — the architecture of a total state — is to evangelise the gospel of egalitarianism.
What lurks beneath the BBC’s insistence that we need more “diversity” on screen is an insidious desire to reduce the presence of native English people on their own national broadcaster.
Stop paying your licence fee. Stop watching the BBC.
Turn off, tune out, touch grass.
JD Vance: ‘America is a Homeland’
After JD Vance delivered his VIP dinner speech at Nat Con DC, he accepted the VP nomination at the RNC Convention and delivered much the same sentiment to an enthused crowd.
His contentious statement was that America is '[his] family’s ancestral home’, and that this affinity for the familiar is what inspired generations to fight and die for it.
Now that’s not just an idea, my friends. That’s not just a set of principle. Even though the ideas and the principles are great, that is a homeland. That is our homeland. People will not fight for abstractions, but they will fight for their home. And if this movement of ours is going to succeed, and if this country is going to thrive, our leaders have to remember that America is a nation, and its citizens deserve leaders who put its interests first.
Sounds a lot like the totally reasonable argument Harrison and I are making for our domestic politics, right?
Well, we expected the only demographic still voting Democrat — ‘childless cat ladies’ — to lose their minds over this.
But what wasn’t anticipated were the anti-Woke liberals, purporting on the side of President Trump and American patriots, losing the mind at Vance's proposition.
Prominent commentators like Ben Shapiro and James Lindsay, nominally on “our side”, rejected Vance as espousing ‘blood and soil’ rhetoric for suggesting that the ideas and values which inspired the American founding, and must be revived to sustain it today, did not spring ex nihilo from the ether.
Rather, these truths were ‘self-evident’ only to the stock of Christian Englishmen who landed at Plymouth Rock, constructed the thirteen colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence, and won the Revolutionary War against their own King and Parliament.
We discussed JD Vance’s intellectual journey, his love of Tolkien, and his belief that demographics matter to the social texture of a nation, with recently-doxxed X anon, Raw Egg Nationalist.
We also discussed the evidence that Joe Biden had a (near-fatal?) health incident shortly before dropping out via letter of the 2024 Presidential race; and the manufactured hype around his appointed successor, Vice President Kamala Harris.
For those enthused about his debut on-camera appearance: Raw Egg Nationalist will return to LotusEaters.com…
For the rest of my Nat Con DC coverage, you can watch the episode of Tomlinson Talks released on Wednesday the 17th of July.
The following clips are taken from my insight into the potential for Nat Con to construct a “confederation of nationalist nations” with the UK, Europe, the United States, and Israel — and how that project is undermined by the admission of Hindu nationalists, know for their persecution of Christians in India.
I also discussed the brewing Conservative party leadership contest — with some candidates announcing as predicted, since, and other (better) prospects looking to teal-er pastures, if their party forces them out…
The UK Election: In Retrospect
On previous weeks’ Deprogrammed episodes, Harrison and I discussed the UK General Election with academics Matthew Goodwin and Eric Kaufmann.
Labour’s unilateral declaration of victory over the Culture War will not hold. It is a smokescreen for their intentions to continue Tony Blair’s “Business as usual” of populating nominally neutral institutions with intersectional Woke activists.
Reform UK came second in 98 seats across the UK, and is set to capitalise on the lack of enthusiasm for Keir Starmer, who won fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn in 2019. The courage that Lee Anderson and Richard Tice have shown over the recent necessary use of force by police in Manchester Airport positions them on the precipice of shaping the political paradigm ahead of 2029. If they keep this consistent messaging up, then they could sweep the field.
What the Trump Assassination Reveals about Democrats’ Definition of “Democracy”
A recognition of the existential threat posed to the nation and its people at Nat Con DC preceded the televised attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania on the 13th of July.
As if often said of October 7th, history did not begin on that hot Saturday, where firefighter and father Corey Comperatore lost his life in the crossfire.
The Democrat media and political establishment demonised Donald Trump for almost a decade as the second coming of Adolf Hitler, an ‘existential threat to democracy’, and a dictator in waiting.
This comprised a long campaign of what they project onto Republicans: conducting ‘stochastic terrorism’, in the hopes that an insane member of their base, with no regard for their own life, believes their rhetoric and takes violent matters into their own hands.
Since then, they have perpetuated ‘Blue Anon’ conspiracy theories, claiming that Trump was not in fact shot, that the dead and wounded are crisis actors, and that the whole thing was staged.
(I would like to remind these contemptible liars, like Joy Reid, that Alex Jones was sued for similar dreadful comments about the families of the Sandy Hook massacre, and forced to pay $1.5 billion dollars to those affected…)
Trump’s death has been the hope and dream of many a Democrat politician and talking head for years, and we should not expect a deescalation in the rhetoric that led to this moment just because a last-minute head tilt to illegal immigration statistics spared the world such horrific scenes.
But how can they decry the popularly elected President and half the country who support him “a threat to democracy”?
In this segment, I analyse the statements before and since July 13, and the work of Emily Finley in The Ideology of Democratism, to explain how their concept of democracy does not rely on popular consent, but rather the false Blank Slate anthropology of liberal philosophy, which presumes a democratic vote to be an exercise in making the same choice over and over again — and any deviation from that to be proof of an outside force corrupting our egalitarian human nature.
The Competency Crisis and the Battle of the Sexes
Last week on Tomlinson Talks, I examined whether or not the competency crisis caused by appointing Diversity hires into positions of influence over critical infrastructure and the federal government in the United States led to the narrowly-missed assassination attempt on President Trump.
Were the intelligence agencies complicit in the near-death of Donald Trump through institutional incompetence? Or were the wilful participants, and guilty of influencing Thomas Matthew Crooks — as the Heritage Foundation’s investigation, involving the phone records of someone frequenting Crooks’ residence and an FBI field office, seems to suggest?
I also spoke to Warren Farrell about his new book, Role Mate to Soul Mate, about the possibility of negotiating in relationships after gender norms have been dissolved by atomistic liberalism; and whether or not Red and Blue America can talk itself down from a brewing Civil War?
You can watch the full episode only on LotusEaters.com.
Do We Need Christianity to Reverse Demographic Decline?
Some preview clips of my discussion with demographer Paul Morland on Tomlinson Talks have been released.
On the topic running throughout this thread of recent articles and media appearances, I put to Paul the prospect that the culture, identity, and faith of the majority population must be prioritised by the state which must have an interest in seeing its nation continue across generations.
While Paul’s liberal priors, and immigrant background, gave him pause for thought at the framing, he is amenable to policies which support those who want children in countries where the birthrate is below replacement to have them. This includes the indigenous Brits who were so welcoming to his own family decades ago, and who allowed them and Paul himself to make this lovely archipelago his home. (And I’m very glad they did so.)
Expect conversations with Momus Najmi and Andrew Gold to be released soon, on their respective channels; for Andrew to join us on the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters this Wednesday; and for a Deprogrammed with ADF International’s Lorcán Price, about the Irish patriots protesting mass immigration and censorious legislation, to release this coming Thursday!
