The Great Replacement and the End of the Post-War Consensus
This Week(s) In Media | 15th April - 5th May
Long time no see! I have returned from my ten days of visiting our former colony across the Atlantic, and return with a round-up of all the articles, interviews, and Tomlinson Talks episodes that were released in the meantime.
Why Zoomers Don’t Support Israel
Last Tuesday, I returned to the TIMCAST compound to finally meet its founder, Tim Pool, and appear on TIMCAST IRL with Hannah-Claire Brimelow & Phil Labonte.
We spent a substantial amount of time discussing the Israel/Hamas conflict, and the pro-Palestine protests that have engulfed US university campuses in recent weeks.
I explained why Zoomers on the Left and Right alike are predisposed to be apathetic or even hostile to Israel.
The further from the inciting incident we get, and the fewer benefits conferred onto the generations indebted to pay Boomers’ pensions, then the less support that the post-War international order, and the state created to provide displaced European Jews a home, will have.
We care more about immigration, infrastructure, the affordability of housing, and the non-consensual terraforming of the world on our doorstep, than we do paying for a war which will never be resolved peacefully, waged for thousands of years, thousands of miles away.
I also delivered a warning to the Americans watching not to succumb to the same dire demographic and anti-Christian fate that the UK currently is.
The standout moment of the show was where Phil Labonte and I debated whether or not Liberalism is responsible for the modern maladies of Wokeness, unilateral multiculturalism, and civilisational decline. You can see the clip of that discussion via my Instagram account, below:
I look forward to the Culture War episode, going into the details of this debate across the course of two hours, in (most likely) July.
Clips of the other news items we discussed in the show can be watched independently below:
What does the Great Replacement really mean?
A few days before Eva Vlaardingerbroek broke the internet with her speech at CPAC Hungary, declaring the Great Replacement to be fact, not a conspiracy theory, I consulted the original essays by cancelled academic Renaud Camus, who coined the term, to decipher what it actually means.
The Great Replacement is not a ‘White supremacist antisemitic conspiracy theory’.
It is the false anthropology of the Blank Slate, in the hopes of achieving an antiracist utopia.
This ignorance of culture — this treatment of distinct peoples as interchangeable, as ‘undifferentiated human mass’ — produces inevitable clashes between civilisations which tell stories in which one another are the villains.
The expedient prosperity of Liberal secular capitalism is not a power with such ineluctable seduction that it will convert the most ardent Jihaddean. To believe so is to commit cultural, national, and demographic suicide.
Camus believed as such, which is why he delivered the original Great Replacement speech, as a gay man, to Parisian Jews: warning them not to support ethno-culturally indifferent mass immigration, because they would ‘saw off the branch they are sitting on’.
You can arm yourself against false accusations of ‘antisemitic conspiracy theories’ by watching the full episode of Tomlinson Talks only on LotusEaters.com.
To get a preview of the depth of the discussion, consult the clips below — including a segment of my interview with academic and contributor to Compact Magazine, Nathan Pinkoski:
What is Anarcho-Tyranny?
The following week on Tomlinson Talks, to continue to defuse the disingenuous claymores set up around noticing obvious problems in politics, I spoke to Blaze host and author Auron MacIntyre about the concept of Anarcho-Tyranny and his new book, The Total State.
Anarcho-Tyranny, as first coined by cancelled commentator Sam Francis, describes the unilateral application of law against the law-abiding by the state, to create a criminal clientele class which inturn manufacturers consent for the state to have greater surveillance and extra-judicial powers.
To understand how this concept applies to the American context, you can watch the preview clip of our full discussion here:
Comics Corner Returns!
Comics Corner is back on LotusEaters.com! For our newest episode, my colleague Harry and I discussed Grant Morrison’s critically acclaimed metatextual run on Animal Man — and spent two hours insulting its self-indulgent, self-contradictory writing.

England, After New Atheism
I was interviewed by J. Burden for his channel three weeks ago.
As well as being commended for being the only Brit he’s met who’s mentioned Wendell Berry, we discussed the aftermath of New Atheism and post-War Liberalism on British politics; as well as what destruction demographic trends are due to wreak on cultural continuity and what little cohesion we have left.
Liz Truss’ Redemption Arc?
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has released a book, Ten Years To Save the West: Lessons from the only conservative in the room.
Some have dismissed it, and subsequent interviews, as a grift to ingratiate herself with the dissident right. But I, perhaps too charitably, see this as another instalment in a long arc of personal development for the former Lib Dem who wanted to abolish the monarchy. Hence my pronouncement in The Critic last month, that:
Listening to this Liz Truss, many of us may lament that the Prime Minister most likely to listen to establishment dissidents was never given a chance. The tragic truth appears to be that Liz had a decent moral compass, but no awareness of just how strong the currents she would be swimming against are.
Betrayal is often an unwelcome but useful inflexion point for reassessing one’s worldview. How could I have been so naive, to have not seen it coming? What kind of person am I to have surrounded myself with such awful people? Did I deserve this? How do I protect myself in future?
Truss seems to have some way to go to draw a causal link between her Hayekian-Liberal beliefs and her fall from power. She still blames an abstract “Establishment” and “institutions”, rather than specific persons and agendas, for the clear coup against her. She still seems to operate under the assumption that people are rational animals, motivated by numbers, rather than living by narratives and following incentives.
However, the infrastructure coming together, in anticipation of a COnservative electoral defeat, seems to be orbiting Truss as one of the few set to keep her Parliamentary seat.
As such, there will be a role for the former PM — as a power broker — in whatever comes after the present faux-conservative government is cleared out.
For my view on this in video form, with pushback from my cohorts who see things differently, watch the following segment from The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters on Rumble.
How the ECHR is Ruining Our Lives
One institution that Liz Truss has realised (too little, too late) is infested with our enemies is the European Court of Human Rights. Like the UN, Truss has insisted that Britain’s membership to such bodies is to be done away with, and replaced with nothing but a reversion to our superior tradition of rule by Magna Carta.
One recent case which shows just how ideologically bankrupt the ECHR is was their ruling that, under Articles 2 & 8 — the same statutes which prevent Britain from deporting foreign rapists — climate change is a human rights violation.
Their reasoning? The five rich elderly women who filed the motion, despite providing no medical evidence to support their claims, have found it too hot to sit on balconies, swim in pools, and take holidays during the summers.
We are now compelled to pay billions to transition to renewable energy technologies which don’t meet demand, because Boomers can’t go on cruises without putting a sunhat on.
Watch the full case review in this segment from The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters on Rumble.
That’s all for this update! Expect, next week, a new essay in The European Conservative, a new interview with American Moment (releasing tonight!), and a new announcement for where I might be a regular face in future.
