 Hello everyone. I'm assuming you can all hear me. I have a history of going live with no audio things are quite More streamlined now. I got rid of the proper audio system I had when I decided to stop making videos and got a headset with an actual decent microphone so Hoping it actually sounds okay. I heard a bit of background noise in my video, but what can you do? We ball first things out of the way Terribily in the chat has said it today's his 23rd birthday. So you all know what to do It's also today the feast day of Saint Chad of Mercia who I've taken my moniker after So that is for Chewittus. We go forward in his name Actually a bit nervous for this can't lie it's been so long that I think I'm just going to jump straight into it Seeing some very lovely comments in the chat already and some questions for those who aren't familiar The way that I do these Q&As is I'll make a community post on my channel saying drop all your your questions here Just so I can have them all in one place that I can actually read off and use this Funky old do Hickey here to bring them up on the screen and actually read them as we go forward So for future reference I'll get through probably the majority of these questions and then start taking ones from the chat If any super chats come in as well standard protocol is I'll finish answering the question I was just on and then move on to that super chat So I say we get straight into it and this is a this is a throwback This isn't there the sort of by the way with these community posts at least when I see them There's no There's absolutely no order to which questions show up at the top There can be ones with loads of likes or no likes at all So I do think it is good to have this actual randomness But we're starting off with a proper classic and getting into the something I'm actually really rusty about and I should have done some more research before starting this again but into the crux of Libertarian legal theory and I think because of my rustiness and the fact that I have gone over this for years even though I've forgotten many of the the specifics Or let's say technical specifics regarding these things I won't spend too long on it, but I will answer this. So got Bruce Nicker 10 That's that might have sounded a bit more sus than I expected. Okay Subscribe to me just recently and thought you showed up after the party was over well to all Best of your knowledge it was but I'm here to subvert expectations Great to see me active again. Thank you so much. Glad to be here The first question is but your possession of a property in a nankap society depends on society Homest review super chatted four dollars and ninety nine cents Four dollars and ninety nine cents from Thomas review What are your thoughts on eastern orthodox people who trace all the errors of the West to Greek philosophy? All right, like oh hang on I'm gonna move this stuff around Because I believe that the alert box was underneath there That's a scuffed alert that I'm gonna have to fix after this. Thank you Thomas review. Is that you Caleb? Let me know if so and I'll answer that question once I've done the two from this bloke here okay Brackets do others consider it legitimate and will they stand on your side if somebody attacks you and that property What happens when someone attacks your property and when your neighbors show up to help you? He claims that you too had a contract by which this land belongs to him now How does everyone in that society keep track on what property belongs to whom and what do all contracts say? Is it all managed by insurance companies? Well if someone went on to property that you were claiming and especially other people around you Believe your claim say you've lived there for years and then someone shows up and says no Actually, this is mine. He sold it to me. Well, he needs to prove it This is simple as that really and something I I think I mentioned just before I stop making these videos that okay first preface like Bitcoin people and crypto people do my nut in I find them so annoying and That is before I then go on to say the blockchain is a fantastic technology Because it is zero trust Oh, well, it'll be a fantastic technology in terms of keeping Track of contracts people can't it could be a big old peer-to-peer database like the Bitcoin hash system is Of contracts that people can't tamper with because there's many many people Or many many devices I should say keeping track of this data at all times if valid block Contract is uploaded to the blockchain and there'll have to be some sort of way to authorize that of course or Authenticator I should say Then that is a way of keeping track of all the contracts and to say what do all contracts say Then this is the sort of thing that yes does then fall to insurance companies The reason I'll rush through that question is like I've said I don't consider myself an ANCAP any more But if other people call me an ANCAP well like I don't object to it because I know what they mean And I don't disagree with the principles I've seen this has caused a fair bit of confusion. I did expect that my My answer for the time being is go check out on substack. I give the reason why it's it's a purely semantic issue But my point is that semantics are important But regardless the sim a society that I would want to live in is essentially very similar to this although there is So one person in charge of affairs and they are they will be Expected to uphold law and there will be incentives for them to correctly uphold law But I don't know I feel like I Feel like that is briefly answered the question So I'll just go on to your next one here. How to stay sane when you're seemingly the only libertarian in the whole country serve Republic Um, I think for me it was just going online. I started Discussing politics on Instagram back in 2019. I think at the very end of 20. No, no, it must have been earlier. Oh Yeah, it was way earlier than 2019 Let me think. Yeah, I don't know Yeah, cuz COVID was 2020 when that was all like really happening. So Yeah, I can't remember the year at all, but several years ago now Because I didn't know anybody In real life that what that expressed similar political opinions to me even when I was only quite a milk toast libertarian I just resorted to social media quite simply the most The place you're gonna find the most libertarians is America Just straight up the the principles of that nation while I have some some very Severe problems with and critiques that I'll have to get into Are the closest thing to libertarianism that has flourished on the world stage and of course The reason I have so many problems is because the state of America right now is absolutely abysmal and That's probably not by accident I think there are lots and lots of principles that are Certainly liberal and classical liberal, but not necessarily libertarian Which have resulted in America being the place that it is today Which is to say not a good one at least on the global stage and certainly not in the principles that they're promoting And I don't think you can argue with that when they are the global aggressive hegemon and Enforce their will by well force to every nation in the world And accept of course fair Israel and Saudi Arabia because that those are the only countries that they're actually reliant on But I guess then yes social media is my advice But you have to balance that with not being terminally online, and I would say not by making Libertarian like the only label that you have to identify yourself by you have to still have Hobbies and relationships with family things that you can relate to people with which are in air quotes normal Some sort of club or sport that you can join obviously a job with people that you get on with and That can value What you bring in terms of either like your work ethic or your personality into the workplace Just being gendered be a good person first and Seriously worry about being libertarian second. I think because you aren't going to change the world at least And I think unless you are already very wealthy and powerful You're not single-handedly going to change the world and because us libertarians aren't a critical mass We have nothing. We don't have any Sway in world politics. We did in Argentina, of course Now that Mila isn't charged, but I have my theories as to why Mila can rise Through democratic means in a country as messed up as Argentina was and in a serious desperation Literal starvation and poverty. Yeah, you can have dissident politics Be a viable option in a popularity contest, but in a country Well, I don't know if this is this goes for the Serbia, but I think it probably does in a country that is so Strangled by media and academia in terms of political and well thought in every single regard as the quote-unquote Cathedral or the regime Has a lockdown on ideas in a Western nation that isn't in such a severe situation as Argentina was We can't look to electoral politics We probably can't look to the aristocracy who were the people that would normally affect social change through things like coups and dynastic Overthrows because the aristocracy has been supplanted by the managerial class and the managerial class are the ones pushing all of these authoritarian and Just frankly Disgusting values on the world today So my my answer is yeah, the political situation is very very bleak in any Western country if you're a libertarian and so You should not make politics be the thing that determines your happiness. I hope that is a decent enough answer for you So I'm going to reread the question from Thomas review What are your thoughts on Eastern Orthodox people who trace all the errors of the Western Greek philosophy I'm going to assume this is mostly J. Dio you're talking about and I've never given him a whole lot of attention I have obviously serious problems with the Initial approach that is always given by people like him of a was it called presuppositionalism? which is to say that The gospel or at least let's say scripture Makes the most sense out of the world as we can observe it and so that is all we need to know about philosophy and then we simply Just treat any sort of philosophy according to that measure. I mean, I wouldn't say it's wrong not to say that. I don't think scripture Accurately reflects the world as we can observe it But I'd have to know what in particular If again this if I'm on the right sort of lines if I'm talking about the same sort of people that you are because I'm not sure I'd have to know which Greek philosophers They would take issue with or if they say Greek philosophy in general Which why what fundamental principles is it that reason? and observation to take a moderate empiricist approach are Bad things to judge ideas and truth from I think if that's the approach they take then it is obviously self-defeating Because there is an empirical element to their assumption um So I don't know. I'm not entirely sure of an example that you're talking about but I think I might be along the right sort of lines Okay Oh, what have I done? Hold on. Let me figure out how to work technology. It's not like I work in it Okay, can we see that? Yep. That's that's frame properly. Welcome back. Cheyada. Thank you very much, Carol Here are some questions you could answer. Javier Miele happened. What do you think of that? Fantastic Obviously there are Things that can be said against the guy such as his Frankly inexplicable obsession with Judaism in Israel. Yeah, that that will obviously raise question marks But in terms of just sheer politics, I am over the moon that Argentina a country that has been in such dire straits for so long and as well, I've known about Javier Miele for years and heard about the Work that he's been doing which is to say some very good theatrics Which if you're in a place where again the democratic process could be feasible and rising to power You need someone like that I wouldn't I don't know if He's viewed as particularly charismatic in Argentina because I think the guy's a bit of a nut job, but I love that I love eccentric people I'm just aware that they're not normally that popular with the normies Who are the base of the electorate? And I'm mostly molded by media. So That there's there's a lot that needs to go into asking why was he successful? And is are his keys to success applicable in a Wealthy western nation that isn't in such a desperate situation as they were with all of the political educational and propaganda apparatus that we have If it works in Argentina without any of those things, but we have those things We can't just say yeah, let's just do what he did And it'll work because I don't think so But brilliant very glad he has one. I'm very glad that the The ladder was there for him to climb up, which yeah It it's sad that Argentina was in such a terrible place that he could rise to the top As Hans Hermann Hopper says in a democracy you have to be a very intelligent bad guy to rise to the top I don't think he's a bad guy So he's an exception to the rule, but That that's that's quite a tangent from just asking What do I think of that because I think it's good But I think we have to take it with a grain of salt rather than running away with ourselves and saying look it works Let's all just go out and vote when we make fun so much of Conservatives and liberals saying just vote hard. We don't want to fall into that same trap. We need to understand How to gain power in the societies that we have much more carefully Okay, every christmas, sorry every christian libertarian has to answer this at some point roman's 13. So what do you say? ah I I knew I should have gone over these questions beforehand because honestly it's been years since I looked at roman's 13 um I it's I without a doubt It I can't say it's anything, but I'm quite a massive reach to say I I'm gonna assume I get the verse here right by the way. Um, I probably don't Have the time to go off and just look it up right now But I think it is um and the Pharisees are trying to catch out uh, Jesus and they say to him um Should a jew pay taxes to the romans? um So because he will either say yes, and he's therefore contradicting. I think um I don't know if it's scripture. He would have been contradicting or maybe like the teachings of the sanhedrin But it would have been against jewish law for him to say yes But it would have been against roman law for him to say no because that would be seditious Uh, and the romans would be able to execute him for saying no don't pay taxes to the empire They would just kill him which obviously they did anyway. Um, so they were deliberately putting him in a catch 22 situation or lose lose um to which he says Give to god what is gods and give to Caesar what is Caesar's? Now some people say well that he's therefore endorsing Taxation well, you can't say that outright when like I've just said he needs to give an answer which Is is true whilst not saying yes and not saying no um So it's it's extremely complicated and I've heard um one reason given is that on all the roman coins Caesar's face was on it And I've heard some people say oh well that just means only the roman coins belong to Caesar. So our modern taxes don't but like we have I like there's there's presidents on us money. Uh, and on Uh, I'm pretty sure bank of england and federal reserve notes. It says that like this note is owned by The admitting bank. It's not owned by you. You don't own your money You own the iou but the money itself is still owned by the issuing bank, which is the central one um But then we just have to get into arguing over. Well, can these public entities funded entirely by theft and aggression Be considered to have legitimate property When their property is funded by this theft and aggression the answer is no So it's very Again, this is to say it's very complicated and anyone who tries to say oh, yeah, it's it says Um that taxes are okay, or even just says no, it's got nothing to do with taxes at all I think they're both wrong Because it was an answer given deliberately complex whilst remaining true and so Has to be a complex discussion to get to the truth of the matter Uh, so no, I don't outright think it endorses taxation But it does involve a discussion on property rights And yeah, zooly's right. You're in the money. Not the certificate exactly But we know what will happen if the central bank says they want it back They're not going to care that you own the the um the monetary value Um Of this note they will take the note back in the monetary value with it if they want which is Um aggressive and not permissible Mostly because their existence is aggressive and not permissible Okay, so I'm from that streamers planned on the first Saturday. Have you remembered? I think so Yep checking the date. Yep Cool could have gone much worse now novus ordo or well novus or latin if anyone doesn't know this is discussing liturgical rights within the roman catholic church The novus ordo right was introduced after the second Vatican council in the 1960s. I think it Either convened or ended in 1962 um, and that is what you will find in 99 percent of all Western catholic churches. That's the liturgical rights where the When the host is being consecrated the priest faces the congregation um, and The liturgy is read in the what's the word for like, um Trying to think what the word is for a local language But like in england it's obviously in english same in america in france. It's in it's in french And then you've got the latin rights, which was instituted from the council of trend I don't remember what year that was in. I think some like 1640s Which was entirely in latin. Um, it had things Liturgically like the priest facing the altar when he consecrates the host And so on and so forth. It's a massive massive debate in the church right now known as like the liturgical war It's our own version of the culture war quite literally Um, my answer is both and oh, yes, what a enlightened centrist opinion um but They're both valid that has to be said and um Yeah, you can say what really for both valid. I can't you say one is better than the other um If that's the case if we agree they're both valid and you can make that value judgment then I I say the novice order It's I think it's the vernacular. That's the local language. I think it is better for Laity to be engaged in their vernacular than you hear so much Yes, it's lots of boomers who like to complain about when they grew up I was all in latin and we just got bored because you're not there for entertainment That's not why you go to mass you go there for the Eucharist and the sacrifice at the altar um But that is not to say that you shouldn't be To use a very evangelical phrase like spiritually fed that going to this mass Should be something that engages you and gets you ready for the week to go Forward into Rather than um I want to I don't want to say just receiving the Eucharist because it's extremely important But I think there are many virtues of the novice order It's been very trendy for the last few years to completely write it off and say, oh no It's so cringe. Look at them in there with their acoustic guitars and their Pride flags and stuff like that. And yeah, whenever you find a problematic Liberal priest or bishop, obviously, they're not going to be celebrating the traditional latin rite But to to try and blame the rite or even the second Vatican Council itself I think is frankly just schismatic. It's quite ridiculous to view it otherwise But there we are Okay, Timothy Dexter 4027. What would I do if Britain bought back conscription? Obviously, this is very timely Um I recommend everyone goes and watches a recent video by academic agent Obviously, I recommended his book in my last video But he's recently made one talk about how to understand the media for someone who is politically dissident He makes a very good point That the regime always signals its intentions So whenever lots of articles come out saying one thing in particular, it's because the regime is probably prepping you For a decision they're about to make and if you are British, you'll call your minds back a few weeks ago lots of articles come out saying that I'm trying to remember these people's names, but I think it was the chief of the army and the Secretary no, what do we call it the defense minister? That's it both saying that if Britain were to go to war obviously against Russia Then they would have to bring in conscription because our numbers are too low to Maintain an effective war effort Now every single news outlet in the uk was publishing an article saying this to me that says The regime is gearing up for the fact that if they do declare war on Russia They are going to be introducing conscription They are they are simply prepping The masses for the decision they've already decided they're going to make if that comes to pass To bear that in mind the reason why they've been talking about conscription so much in Britain lately is because They are saying to you In the in in discussing this so much and putting everything to you. This is what we're going to do So if Britain goes to war with Russia conscription will be enacted. They've told us this. What would I do? What a bloody tough question and one I seriously need to think about because like I say they they are gearing up for it being a possibility I think you That maybe there are certain wars where like if actually an enemy nation was coming to try and harm Me my family my property my people Then I would be much more complicated. But is russia going to do that? No no to anyone who thinks that russia has any sort of like a Interests outside of eastern europe. It's just fucking bonkers, but you seriously get Nutty boomers here who think that like if putin Doesn't lose the war in ukraine, which you have to argue. Has he done already this this brief special military operation It's been going on for is it's two years now. Isn't it? It's not just one um Could that ever be one if that's the case probably not But they seriously think that if if putin wins in ukraine then we need to be worried about an invasion or some sort of like a proper full-on uh attack against civilians Like if it did happen like well first of all the navy and the royal navy and the raf are constantly fighting away russian fighter jets bombers and submarines and warships always trying to keep them outside of um british air space and seas And so basically like if we did go to war russia absolutely would try and attack us But who is us? I take that to be military installations probably infrastructure as well, which it can be uh Understood as widely aggressive, but like are they gonna be some sort of maniacal genocidal force who wants to completely destroy us? No If if we go to war with russia our government is just as complicit in any um aggressive action taking against civilians and our infrastructure as the russian government So If this war did come to happen, I'm not going to say no. I think that we are on the right side here And we have a right to do x y or z frankly no um, so I can't view it as a war where I would Consciously, I don't know feel even a little bit. Okay fighting in so I want to be careful with what I can say on youtube but I'll say that whatever whatever is implied from all of this discussion I have no idea how I would do it successfully So it's going to require a lot of thinking a lot of discussion with the people that I am That I do sort of preparation training with in terms of like, I don't know wilderness survival skills and agriculture and primitive living And maybe wondering if going off grid can be feasible, but I don't think it is I don't think going off grid is a feasible way to dodge conscription while you still have a functioning and ruthless government coming after you off grids of off grid living is Something for the shit the classic shit hit the fan scenario uh, so I don't know it's honestly the answer I know what I'd like to do if britain brought back inscription Which they have told us they will if we go to war if they go to war with rusher I know what I'd like to do. I don't know how to do it. It's the answer to that Okay, I am in the right place Cool. Welcome back brother. Thank you very much. Your questions are what do I think about eastern orthodoxy? And what do I think about elective monarchies generally? For example, poland, lithuania, the witton, behemia, etc are a few Okay, so eastern orthodoxy uh, well I As you can tell by how positive I spoke about the second vatican council. I'm very ecumenical especially with the apostolic um Christian churches which eastern orthodoxy you could argue some oriental orthodox armenian orthodoxy Maybe even coptics, but obviously there's problems there with rejections of councils. There's there's lots of ancient christian churches Eastern orthodoxy is one of them and I have great respect for them because you can trace them back to at least the very very Early days of the church while it was still persecuted by the roman empire and there's a shared Bond of blood at least there, but all of these churches were in communion with roman till the great schism of 1054 on and off of course And so I you can't I don't think you can be catholic and hate any of these churches or even just like expressions of faith and spirituality at all especially not while the eastern rite exists Which is very similar to the eastern orthodox liturgy I I love eastern orthodox christians. I want our churches to be in communion together um, I'm very glad that we have the Eastern rite for the people who want it. I don't I understand why again people prefer the eastern rites to the novus ordo rite, but if you don't have a shit lib for a priest Yep, the novus ordo rite. I think is fantastic And that's not exactly a high bar to have to hold someone to so yeah I don't feel a need to flee to a eastern expression of faith because I love the western expression of faith as it currently is But I like it and I hope that we can be united again Now what do I think of elective monarchies generally? So the only one I have a point of reference to is the witton and this was a council of noblemen who would elect uh, the anglo-saxon kings uh anglo-saxon english kingdoms Weren't her redditary monarchies at least I I think i'm justified in saying that blanketly because there were seven anglo-saxon kingdoms I don't know if they were all the same but Yes, generally the elder men the nobility would meet And have a council to elect a king um Now bear in mind when I talk about monarchy and how I want monarchy societies I'm I'm talking about this voluntarily and to be a nobleman in this sense would Be wealthy owned land have influence Uh pro and all of this stuff normally does come with a family name The sort of wealth That it takes to become a proper aristocrat in the true sense of the word is multi multi generational So it comes with very prestigious Dynasties and names and all this and none of this stuff again I talk about this a lot now, but none of that stuff goes against libertarian principles at all to say that powerful influential people with lots of wealth and land If accumulated justly or they're aristocrats and none of that inherently imposes aggression or theft or things that libertarians can't agree with But okay, right, that's a lot of context for what do I think about elective monarchies? Um I'm kind of ambivalent. I uh I think if I were to choose if say I had I could look forward into the future and see a voluntary Monarchist was just a mean one ruler society flourishing for a thousand years I would picture it being Hereditary more than elective. I think because In a hereditary monarchy the I mean hopper talks about it all the time in what you call an absolute monarch um, this is somebody who Is incentivized by his own family to be very low time preference to look For the prosperity of his people nation and dynasty beyond his own life which is I can't stress How important that is in the functioning of a society You can't have a functioning society if people aren't looking at how to build multi-generational wealth I'll actually I heard a recent quote from Plato who said something like um It was something like a society thrives when men plant trees knowing they will never sit underneath the shade of them That's the that's the general principle for long-term prosperity. And I think a hereditary monarchy More guarantees that not to say that like Of course we get into this discussion all the time. But what if you have a bad king? Well, we're guaranteed bad rulers right now and they're not kings So I'd rather take the chance of maybe getting a bad king Maybe getting a good one when it looks like I'm never going to see a half fucking competent Prime minister in my life Unless something really drastic happens, which who knows it might but the prospects are very dire Of course an elective monarch by the nobility is not a prime minister. There's still a monarch um, and the nobility also have incentives To look long term But I don't think as much as when you have a simple hereditary dynasty with a family who want to preserve their power influence and wealth It at like today and tomorrow I think simply hereditary monarchies have better incentives for long-term prosperity and that's what matters most What do I think of the mouse utopia experiment? I made a video on it. Didn't I hold on? I'm like, yeah, I should know this Obviously I'll do was it was it a video or was it a Thread hang on bear with me I don't know my own bloody videography Ah, I must have been a thread on twitter Uh, well I made Hang on I'm not very good at filling dead air. This is why I didn't want to look at roman 13 earlier So I know this isn't a podcast, but Oh, I come on. I can't find it. I'm 99 percent sure But yes, I made a thread on twitter about the mouse utopia experiment for those who don't know um It's extremely poignant. It goes back. It's well It can be summed up with this phrase that I've thought about for a very long time And I'm sure lots of people listening right now would have heard if you want free Like let's look at these so socialist If a hang on fan confirm doesn't even know all of his videos. Yeah, I'm the worst angler fan. I don't sure to anything on time um I have no loyalty no consistency yada yada so socialist policies such as free housing free Uh food free health care free this free this free this free that If you want all these things they already exist There's a place you can go to right now where you can get free housing free health care um a free free food Don't have to pay any sort of bills. It's called prison now the mouse utopia experiment was a utopian prison for mice, uh, I don't remember the exact like specifics of the layout or whatever, but it was essentially a containment area that mice were placed in with ample room to Like they figured this out based on like a mice habitats to live and to breed up to a certain number um constant food on I think it might not be it might have been like food on demand or at least like a Perfectly rationed amount of calories for what they need in the day exercise facilities And obviously being looked after if one of them was ill I'm pretty sure the scientists would try and take care of it And they made this perfect socialist utopia for mice not thinking well, this is going to prove or disprove socialism It was just maybe Clearly scientists have too much time on their hands and they see a mouse and go right. What can we do today lads? But this is what they did this time And they found that like immediately the population exploded And this this makes sense like you have total resource abundance in spate in terms of physical space and consumable resources being looked after Like anything you could possibly want to be comfortable these mice had and so the population just boomed until it just for a while and rapidly deteriorated they were all sorts of catastrophes occurring within this mouse colony Breeding basically just stopped I think female mice and male mice self-segregated and would like get into fights. Does this sound familiar anybody? whether gangs would form like Families I can't remember what the gang they might have even like formed Gangs based on like the color of their fur like I think it might have been that That like that level of are you kidding me? Does this actually happen? The point that a lot of pissed off a lot of people that I made is that homosexual behavior started to occur The sexual activity between these mice stopped being about the production of a family and just started clearly being about impulse More than anything else Which is something you will you will never find this in the wild or a healthy Mouse society You just find breeding It just basically turned to a shit show like everything completely decayed And this is extremely important to think about because it entirely reflects what we found in our societies of I don't want to blame it on resource abundance It's not just the fact that we are doing Materially well off right now that has caused things to go down the shitter and people to go insane It's ideology first and foremost because we are rational creatures and mice aren't and like yes, some communists objected to what I said about it by Saying well mice aren't rational, but we are okay, right? So what difference does that make? You can't just go. Oh, well this entire experiment doesn't work because the mice aren't rational Well, then why is so much of what the mice did what we are doing right now? We're seeing the exact same thing. I don't think it comes down to resource abundance. I simply think it comes down to Well, it does a little bit. We have lots of privileged ideas in society right now where we don't have to worry about constant plague and famine and war and I think humans then find other stupid shit to worry about um But that's not to say that like a comfortable life is something completely detrimental to humans No, it's not like we were given a fantastic gift by our forebears And this is why I think it's so important to like respect your ancestors and all of these like a traditionalist catchphrases That we only have the material abundance we do because of thousands of years of blood sweat and tears of the people Who came before us so we have been given this immense gift even though we still have to work for it day to day The the security that we have in so many in all the forms that it takes Is a massive massive privilege And we are essentially squandering it by just being stupid um And you can't say mice are stupid or smart really like everyone likes to say our rats are so clever like Yeah, they can figure out and move things around, but they're not rational I think Well, this is something I think about rationality and technology in general. It's completely um Morally neutral the fact that we are rational is a extremely powerful gift And this can be used for extreme good or extreme evil It's simply being used for evil right now, but it has been used for extreme good in the past as well as obviously Leguality of man extremely evil in equal measure with things like nuclear weapons and so forth um Anyway, well that's the whole mouse utopia experiment basically if you give mice a Socialist society It turns into a complete fucking shit show in the same ways that our society is currently a shit show go figure Right, I should move on to another question All right, how do I turn this thing on? There we go Right connell How goes it my friend as an english catholic convert? How do you feel about the anglican ordinary it and have you ever attended the ordinary offering of the mass? um my I spoke to my priest about this while my now wife was Meeting with him well us to before she was getting baptized And we were talking about the married priesthood and how Like so many people don't know this, but you can have married catholic priests. These are in the Eastern rites, which I talked about earlier which take the liturgy Of a take a very similar liturgy that you will find in the eastern orthodox where you can have married priests And you can have married priests in the anglican ordinary it um because you can have anglican married priests and the ordinary it is a bridge uh that the catholic church has opened between uh anglicans who are unhappy with the way that the church of england and the Uh, what do they call it the canterbury communion is going because like of course it's absolutely diabolical and I mean that in the actual sense of the word um for them to want to preserve the beautiful aspects of anglicanism which they absolutely are like uh Yeah, I sing some beautiful hymns at my church But hymn singing is something the anglicans did while the catholics didn't while we had the latin mass All across the world There weren't hymns in the way that they have been for the entire existence of the church of england. It's beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous um As well as the general aesthetic and lots of the ways that they do things are great And the anglican ordinary it is an attempt to preserve that whilst being in communion with the holy sea But my priest made a good point where he thinks it's just entirely temporary and yeah, I think I agree with him I think that Well, mostly because the church of england's days are limited Uh, you can't if you can't deny it and yeah, I'm biased when I say this right But a church that was created by a government Henry the eighth Well, let's say a despotic tyrant Henry the eighth a church founded to fulfill the wishes of a tyrant Is just doing it's it's doing the same thing today The church of england is pushing the values of our despotic tyrannical government of today It's just doing its job um But it's trying to do its job in a post christian society, which we have to be honest. That's what britain is now It's not even anti religious. We had the new atheism phase, which I was completely swept up in as a teenager, but now Religion has next to no effect of british society So what place is there for the church of england? Like yeah, I have a very cynical view of this church I think it is an arm of the state's there for enforcing uh despotic will But when this arm isn't needed anymore. Well, what's going to happen? It's just going to go It's just going to die and fall off And that's what we're seeing and so I don't think the anglin ordinary is going to exist forever We go on the wrong screen here Because I don't think the anglicans are going to exist for much longer Um, so there's no need for an ordinary, which is a massive shame The this expression of faith is probably going to go extinct aside from a footnote in history. Um But no, I've not been to an ordinary. I from what I can gather It's actually quite hard to find the ordinary within the uk It's actually rather popular in The east coast of america Where you have the episcopalians as they like to call themselves. You can get some very traditionalist episcopalians Who aren't very loyal to the church of england because they're not english. They're american And so they can happily jump over to the ordinary Uh, but you do have like splintering traditional anglicans in the uk Uh part of groups such as the free church of england Uh famously calvin robinson Is amongst one of these groups and he's a dissident anglican, but he's never going to join Uh the catholic church. I think I think he's been very clear about this Uh, I have a friend in a similar situation a very traditionalist Uh protestant and anglican He was never going to be catholic. I don't think which is a massive shame um But I think that's because it's the church of england that we're talking about here And we live in england What are they going to do if this church ceases to exist? I think hold on to these splinter groups that they have but They're not going to last forever so There you go another long answer But now i've never been to an ordinary mass either Glad to see you're back. You can see my back. Ha ha got you You've been you have been and still are the best Oh, wow and taught me a lot about how to interpret libertarianism, right? My question is let's click read more here Ah What shall take on naib bukele a crazy power mongering police state or a respectable and accomplished mini state That in terms of coerciveness cannot be compared to huge federal states that seek control over vast lands brackets and the globe Although technically allow more personal freedom naib bukele is another Amazing latin-american success story that we have right now of good governance um Yes, he was elected democratically, which I immediately take issue with and yes, he's assumed power in a state which in some way is aggressive but Goodness gracious. Can you talk about this without talking about the aggression that he's managed to stop? that I would call it a miracle if it wasn't just so straightforward in understanding how he's been so successful Punish crime Wow Who'd have thought that works? Well, the reason why he's so besmirched by western media is uh Well, they don't want you to think that punishing crime works. They want you to think that It's as sedique can't put it part and parcel of living in the modern world rubbish but absolute tripe uh If there are murdering raping extortionate gangs going around, uh, you can retaliate Crazy crazy and yes, he has retaliated. He's put them to rest and he does have lots of policies which on their own can be very much applauded such as The expansion of legal tender within the country to not just be tied to the u.s. Dollar, which is That's a pair of golden handcuffs right there, which he's Not made the people Of el salvador needs to wear anymore Bitcoin is legal tender. Um, I don't know if they've expanded legal tender to include other methods But fantastic what I'd what a genuinely great policy and especially for A nation as small as that It's without a doubt like I don't think anyone could argue There's a better decision to make for a country like that quite impoverished with very niche industries And Doesn't want to be dependent on the u.s. Dollar, which there's so many reasons why you wouldn't be To go for a decentralized currency just makes perfect sense rather than trying to have their own Central bank. I don't know if they do Don't know if they do have their own central bank. I need to look into that. They probably do But yes, he's he's doing some genuinely fantastic things apart from Restoring peace and order to his country in such a dramatic and successful way um Yeah, of course, you can criticize him on genuine grounds rather than just shit live the human rights like no these people are just genuine Fucking lunatics. They are the scum of the earth and have committed every sort of heinous crime possible And deserve any sort of punishment that come that can be dished out In relation to these crimes no no point ever feeling sorry for the People that he's put behind bars so Yeah, he's done a cracking job very very glad about it and Yes, you're right It is a it is a country which allows way more personal freedom than most places in the world right now So any criticisms have to be very light just on that basis All right We've got Crescendo or cratando. Maybe if you're italian You're a christian near reactionary slash voluntary as volunteerist mix. Glad to see it. Love it curious about how I feel about the general and cat movement of Internationalist mixes without any group identity or acknowledgement that some people need a government And do you think that right anarchism and maybe right authoritarian right could converge into a movement backed by the idea ideas of properitarianism along with traditionalism and localist authoritarianism Because that's that's my goal and honestly I was inspired by you talking up the label nrx So that is one reason I took the nrx pill There's a lot going on there How do I feel about a general and cat of international mixes without any group identity or acknowledgement that some people need a government Well, I think we have to be very very careful there in what we mean by government Like I I've been I've been very careful throughout this live stream to use things such as voluntary and aggressive to distinguish between the two kinds of social organization that you can have um, the reason why I don't call myself an anarchist is I believe societies not only should but always will be organized by a organized minority And I think quite simply this hierarchy, which the higher up you go in a hierarchy Of course the more of a minority you are should end in one person the greatest minority as we like to say So if you want to call that a voluntary government you can go ahead, but it probably isn't very Oh, then we can we go kassim here anarchist government is not an oxymoron if kassim is saying that you know, it's true So, okay, I'll assume That is your premise going into the question So do some people need a government? Well, I think everyone needs a voluntary government really Um, we are social creatures. We do form groups at which you can call a nation in a political sense And we will require leadership and a sense of unity and identity in order to fully cooperate and live in genuine peace Not just Not just out of convenience um I don't like it when lots of people who were like former libertarians become extremely anti economics Makes absolutely no sense to me But you do get some that are and I will agree that um economic considerations are not the only thing In a society and if that's all you focus on then you are being silly um Moral and social factors also matter to an incredible extent And that is why you will always have social organization in voluntary societies because that's just how humans work as social creatures um so Do I think all people need aggression in order to be socially organized? No Some do but those are people who are initially aggressive and are criminal um And try and take things that aren't theirs. Yeah, those people need to be met with aggression But not the initiation of aggression. Okay Do I think the right anarchism and maybe the authoritarian right could converge into a movement backed by ideas of properitarianism A long traditionism and localist authoritarianism. So again with localist authoritarianism I'll assume the same sort of premise that I've been working on before then Maybe you have a quote unquote authoritarian voluntary voluntarist government where the person at the top of the hierarchy is very Broad in their executive powers, but all the people under his rule agree to be under his rule Well, first of all, no, I don't think that's a realistic outcome Any time soon and especially not out of some sort of cooperation with the more traditionalist libertarian right and the traditionalist authoritarian right No, I don't think that some sort of Syncretism would revolve in lots of actually voluntary societies I think if the right at large is going to politically organize It's a bloody tough one because I think we have to be part of it if you There's two objectives right here I think libertarians have to be involved in right-wing dissident politics And I think right-wing dissident politics has to beat the current regime So I essentially what I'm saying here is I don't think in any Like realistic manner that libertarians are going to be successful in Let's say solely successful in changing the shape of world governments in the foreseeable future I think that the right-wing in general will be because this is the political wing much more in touch with Natural ideals rather than the completely Insane and unnatural ideals of the left be this liberal social ideals or Communist political and economic ideals, which it's not a coincidence why These communist ideas are always packaged with liberal social ideals. They're completely one and the same They have to be just just simply destroyed. I'm so fucking fed up of any form of leftism the very the foundational principles of any kind of leftism are just simply unbelievably anti-human and That they have to be stopped and I think the right wing will stop them And I don't think it will be solely the libertarian right-wing So what do I think we should do in this situation? I think we have to be involved heavily in dissident right-wing politics to try and simply make the best outcome we can if the dissident rights were to become the political norm And libertarians have wagged their fingers at them and just been a Pain in the arse and a nuisance. Well, then they're gonna have we're gonna have nothing to do with libertarians That's if they don't retaliate against you So I think what we should simply try and do is make The dissident right more libertarian because what what's gonna happen if we don't well I think they're going to win and then I think they're going to be completely Unlibertarian and is that the result we want? No, I don't think so But okay, right as I answered the question. Let's see what else I've got go for Sasha Golan honestly you're inspired by the nrx king. Um, so yes I think that well for one libertarian should be more right-wing Unashamedly again, if you think I'm mad hopper was Honestly, I think Murray Rothbard was especially later on that can't be argued with These are very right-wing libertarian people So I'm not some sort of complete whack job. I don't think in saying this I think I have a precedent and I think the right-wing at large Should be more libertarian And it's our responsibility to make that happen if we don't make Actual moves to try and make the dissident right to I think I go into make a move for power when they can Uh, that that could be a long way away well beyond our lifetimes But I think it's eventual if we aren't making efforts to make them more libertarian then we only have ourselves to blame So there you go How can status catholic teachings be reconciled with libertarianism? the Catechism of the catholic church says porn must be banned for example Well, I think absolutely porn is pornography is an evil which should not be tolerated But that's you might have guessed some careful language on my part. I I simply think if the world were in a The a much better place and the sort of place the world should be in this isn't the sort of thing that we Would only discuss in terms of like violent suppression That is violence is not the only way to influence social Beliefs and behaviors in a good direction now. Am I saying something bad by saying that? Social beliefs and behaviors should be influenced Well, I think absolutely not for the sole reason that if we aren't trying to make Social beliefs and behaviors good Then you can absolutely guarantee that bad people are Going to influence social beliefs and behaviors in a direction that is bad. That's what we're seeing now This is because the right wing are beautiful losers As I think it was was it bernham who used that phrase um They love to say oh, but what if the situation was reversed rather than actually standing up for their own principles And at least fighting back against bad people who are promoting bad social beliefs and behaviors So I want these good social beliefs and behaviors to be enforced. Well, let's say socially through Nonviolent influential means This can take corrective measures such as shunning Or the reward of good behavior Basically, you can create nonviolent incentives for people to behave in a good manner good for themselves and for others And why should that not be our ideal if that is possible? Why is that not what we should? with like Strive towards to the point where it's the only thing we should be striving towards now Is that the same as saying, okay, that that the suppression of such moral social evils as pornography, which is so pervasive and so destructive to our society Can that be possibly achieved without violence? I like to hope so But i'm not entirely sure and if pornography is going to be suppressed It is going to be through violence. It's going to be through non libertarian right wing power plays um And I simply think that The best the realistic the best scenario we could hope for is that these things are initially suppressed violently but become Enforced through nonviolent social measures Uh things like ostracism, which i've talked about time and time again in regards to covenant communities um Well, actually this this doesn't even answer the question That's how much of a ramble this has been the catechism says paul must be banned for example Now, I don't know the specific um Line of the catechism that covers this but with all of that Pretext I'd want to read it to understand are they saying essentially well the government should always exist in order to violently suppress pornography I'd be very surprised if that was the text or if the text alluded to that um So I'll have to read it for myself and see if i've been on the right lines because obviously i'm I'm going to be obedient to the church. That is always the case um And if what i've said is disobedient to it, then i've got some serious Thinking to do but I think i'm along the right lines there and some people might call it a cop out, but I can't argue with the The principles that I hold In in the form that they've taken just then All right neo mccarthy. I that's a very base name mccarthy did nothing wrong So mccarthy never actually like did anything other than get communists fired from hollywood, right and only a handful so Yeah, mccarthy did nothing wrong council culture is not necessarily a bad thing It's only a bad thing when it's used by bad people for bad things Which is the way it currently takes Council culture is a non-violent method of social norm enforcement so What's your position on hbd now? I've seen this acronym a few times and don't know what it stands for So you'd have to let me fill me in on that Dissident writers like steve sailor or white nationalist like jarrod taylor Do you believe that a possible genetic differences between races ultimately? Oh, this is going to get I just thought all of this is going on youtube. So if if if everything i've set up until now was flown by this won't At least just reading this question. I should say genetic differences between races I'll mumble that bit Ultimately impede hopes of a multiracial society or do you subscribe to a more moderate view on the subject? Okay, I guess I'll tackle that first. Um well one I think you you well, there are absolutely genetic differences between races you can see this in bone structure So why could there not be in other areas? But do do I then therefore view? anyone with disgust or belittlement No, no, I certainly don't I do take why you could you could perhaps call it a more moderate position to Be like a cultural supremacist. Maybe you could call me that I think that the the the long Let's let's call it the anglo-saxon cultural No, even british including the the pre anglo-saxon Celts The culture the cultures that we have brought about are the best of the world has ever seen These are for reasons such as common law The concept of things like human rights Are just so many Things that we have introduced to the world which nobody else ever did that are truly fantastic There's so much of that that have come out of either british society or splintering british society like former colonies But no, I'm not I'm absolutely not a racial essentialist I don't think that the only people who can uphold and benefit from the fruits of such an amazing culture are anglo-saxons or british people of some sort of Ethnicity that includes because there's not one british ethnicity There are anglo-saxon Celtic and different kinds of Celtic different kinds of anglo-saxon No, I don't think those are the only people who can Like a racial essentialist will say like no, they simply don't have the mental faculty to Uphold benefit from And spread the ideals of these cultures. No, I don't believe so. I don't believe that and you can call that moderate perhaps it is And I understand that lots of very Let's just outright say racial Essentialist people such as maybe not steve sailor himself was certainly the people who like him And I don't I don't actually know anything about jerry taylor. I know there are lots of people who would laugh at me and say that I'm a coward for that position so if that doesn't dissuade anyone who thinks that I'm extremely radical And the other our word in what I've just said if that doesn't persuade you otherwise then there's I can't I can't help you All right, then so number two. Do you think that they can't know you're gonna make me say Dude, if this wasn't demonetized before now, but it certainly is Do I think There's a problem on the reactionary slash dissident rights Oh by legitimate. I think I imagine you might mean genuine as in like a genuine hatred of semites piquine as nick fuentes and brother Nathaniel Who I know the prudentialist as a fan of are a few a few individuals I'd comfortably call anti semites as examples I understand that you're a fan of me like yeah, we covered that Whom some of the dissent right are skeptical of due to both his Jewish faith and pro-israel opinion So I'd be interested in my take on this So do I think I'll get assume That that genuine is a more appropriate word here than legitimate Do I think genuine anti-semitism is a problem on the reactionary slash dissident, right? Um Well, first of all, I mean it's it's obvious to everyone now. I'm catholic um And I think everyone should be I think it's the fulfillment of truth as simple as that and so Yeah, I'll have wow You have to then take that into account with well, what do I think about Judaism? Well, I don't hold it I could never hold it in as high as regard as other christian churches like I talked about earlier with eastern orthodoxy I want every Jew to be christian and to be catholic to follow their messiah obviously That's do I think it's a problem on the dissent, right? Well, yeah, I think that a lot of the people you've mentioned are far Essentially racial essentialists like I've just talked out before they think that um the jewish ethnicity of which again There's not one there's multiple. There's ashkenazi and safardic and um other types now I have a problem first of all with whether or not those people are The israelites from scripture the answer is no they're not the israelites either all became christian Or were killed in the revolt of judaea. There are no Technically here's a very very spicy opinion. I don't think there are any um Technical jewish semites remaining. I think they all became christian or died so This and this gets a lot of people angry because that technically means that anti-semitism doesn't really exist If you dislike jews, you don't dislike semites because the ashkenazi's come from eastern europe and the safardics come from moorish spain yada yada yada Anyway, all of this to say that no, I still don't hold any any sort of racial essentialist views towards um jewish ethnicities And of course you mentioned brother Nathaniel there who is ethnically jewish. I don't know which ethnicity in particular But he said some very obviously scathing remarks about judaism and the people who practice judaism And that would of course include Javier Miele And I don't get angry about the fact that the guy Even though he's not ethnically jewish wants to be jewish, which doesn't make sense. It is it is an ethno essentialist religion You can't really just decide to become jewish in the way you can be decide to become muslim or christian So Yes, I immediately think well what the heck is going on with Miele then? Why is he doing this? It simply doesn't make sense on the face of it And that has to get you asking questions Is there something nefarious going on or is it just the guy is bonkers because he is he is bonkers and I love him for it um Anyway, I don't I don't know how to wrap up that question too much of a concise way But I feel like I've made my my my thoughts on those matters Rather Um clear let's let's say All right How long have I been going for? An hour and 12 minutes. All right. Okay. I'll do a fair few more of these questions. Then I'll go over to the chat Uh, either take questions in there or just chill out with you guys for a little bit Okay In Scroll down In my why I'm not an anarchist start. Well, I'll read it third person in your why I'm not an anarchist article You conclude by recommending the populist delusion to read about elite theory and I just started de juvenel's book on power Do you have any recommendations to learn about elite theory slash nrx ideas? Uh, well, I mean just keep reading Oh, you haven't even started reading the populist illusion. Well, first of all de juvenel on power. Yes I'm trying to think what else there's another book de juvenel read where I think like Is on par. Yeah pun pun not intended is on par with on power I can't remember what it's called de juvenel has I wouldn't say he has many Outstanding books. I don't even think he wrote that many books in general maybe Um, but they there's a couple that really really stand out on power as one of them Um, so I have other recommendations nothing that isn't included in Uh, the populist delusion or is discussed by or a macintyre Who I recommended in my previous video Um, yeah, I probably need to read more but like in terms of which Classical elite theorists, let's say do I agree with the most it's mosca more than parato Mosca and parato even though they had very very similar ideas hated The living poop out of each other Um, which is just I think it's just a good old case of Good old autism. We love it here. Don't we we talk about it a lot how it motivates such, um Such people of our persuasions even though I'm not autistic. I don't People don't believe me, but I'm fair enough. I wouldn't believe me either Uh, okay, so no keep read the populist delusion listen to the or a macintyre show I think I think it's much easier to listen to than a a's live streams for example So there's a immediate recommendation populist illusion or a macintyre and mosca Besides from the juvenile he already reading right I'm sorry. Hang on you said elite theory slash nrx ideas elite theory and nrx aren't synonymous Most people you find who believe in elite theory will believe in tenets of nrx and vice versa but Yeah, you don't have to be both. You can be one or the other So in terms of nrx, I always recommend mulbug kurtis yavin as per um Oh as well as a spandrel. Ah spandrel. Wow. What what a genuinely like innovative thinker of our time came up with the concept of Biolinism very very spicy theory that I think is true. Look up that Biolinism by spandrel that that that's that's a bit of a red pill right there All right, john moravec 5684 there's lots of Four number sequences at the end of usernames right now. Are you all bots? Am I talking into the aether? So I don't think I've necessarily watched you that much. Ah cheers, mate But I do have a question. Have you heard of the libertarian term autarchism? And what do you think of it? I've certainly at least heard about it in my time but um With my general rustiness, I'll be honest. Nothing's coming to me. I can't think of what it means If someone could give like a brief iron man Is that what you call it? Steel man, that's it. If someone can give a brief steel man of what autarchism is in the chat. I'll happily address that Oh john moravec's in the chat and he hasn't got the numbers on his name. Cool So you're not a bot good to know. How are you? Sorry, I can't answer your first question there mate. What are my thoughts on military now? Isn't that broad but um I come from a military family and I've said this before I think a reason why I can get so morose About the modern state of the world and this is a very like a let's call it liberal Freudian psychological understanding of my motivations I think a reason why I'm so upset with the state of the modern world is that I'm quite a natural warrior And I have nothing to fight for It's like I have no mouth and I must scream I When I think of the how I want to die If I could have My ideal I've said this time and time and again it would be on a battlefield dying to the sound of bagpipes In as like part of a fall on hope charge I had it's it's very unpopular these days to have like a noble a very a noble or chivalrous view of warfare and fighting to the death, but it's one that I can't shake. I just naturally have um a A inclination to Fighting to the death for good ideals that it's it's a massive draw in my psyche So what do I think of military? Well off the back of that? I can't outright say that I dislike the idea of military I've as I said earlier. I think if um Well, this is this is the classic american two-way saying the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and bad guys Love militaries. Of course they do. It's an amazing way to spread Evil intentions and power So how do you combat that? Well, the answer is clearly only good guys spreading good intentions and power or at least defending against evil There's a I often Devote myself to say Michael the archangel the guy kills Satan with a spear in revelation Like that's something I think about a lot And it's a reason why I can go along with a crusader Are a lark and yeah, I know it's cringe and yeah I know that the crusaders weren't perfect and they did lots of very dodgy shit um But the the the point of the matter is they fought a defensive war against an aggressive people and religion who were slaughtering Christians in the Middle East and they went to go defend them and to take back genuinely rightful land like the crusades were completely a defensive justified war On all manners of theory. Yeah, all the things they did Can't be said the same. Yeah, there were there was the odd massacre here or there wasn't there But I do not view military as anything per se evil Defensive war is not per se evil at all um And if you don't fight for good intentions people will fight for bad ones if then If good guys don't fight bad guys the bad guys are going to win because they will always exist And I think as we're seeing in the modern world right now the good guys won't always exist It's much harder to be a good guy than it is a bad guy and this is something Think about that statement. It's much harder to be a good guy than a bad guy and apply that to libertarianism in general It's why we have to be extremely careful in our understandings of power for the people at the top of the hierarchy And incentives for the people at the bottom of the hierarchy. Can we incentivize people to be good? Uh, well, yes, that pause wasn't intentional. Yes. I think is the answer and we have to Is if we don't incentivize people to be good the incentives to be bad will always be there and they will be taken and then predatory evil people will play on those natural inclinations that people can have to bad incentives So there we go. Does that answer your question? What are my thoughts on military? Lots of Different roads. I went down there, but that's par for the course um Yes, you need good military men who are willing to fight and die for good causes And I wish I could be one of them But I can't find a good cause in the modern world that I could actually fight for apart from suicide missions, which uh Are completely irresponsible if you have a family which I do And I'm not going to go out and Aaron Bush nail myself Not even that but like ruby ridge myself. Let's say absolutely. No Um, that would be completely irresponsible and immoral for me to do that And I have no organized method of fighting for good causes in the modern world and that That will be a massive motivator in me being near reactionary perhaps Okay, oh cool right rabbit squirrel. Oh, okay. This is weird. I know that you Don't always have this like a robotic looking username. So it must be my community page How's life going? It's going very well. Thank you like I've said in my video the reason why I'm doing um Videos again now is because life is going well life is settled I'm in one particular place in England that I love so deeply Um, it's actually the place that I was born in but I only spent half of my formative years here I spent the other half of my formative years in mercia hence the name Um, I'm very glad to be back. I feel like I completely belong where I am and that's why I post so much On twitter about how much I love England. I love where I am right now and of course I love my wife Um, how long have we been married now? I think it's a month and a half Yeah, pretty much exactly a month and a half um Happy with my job too. Got always got a fun and exciting thing is going on there So I'm just I'm very well. Thank you right now. I'm really glad to say um Yeah, not wanting for much So very pleased How's your life going actually? I think I've seen you in the chat Let me know let me know how's everyone doing give me a brief synopsis. I hope we're all doing well And if we're not then we can lift each other up All right, I think this is looking to be a lengthy old question I think I'll do this one and then Two more so I've got three more three more comments from this one here So I'm going to try and be quick. But ah, this is four questions in one you sneaky little sausage I should have seen that coming. He says it right there in the first sentence my bad Hello, hello I have four questions for you if you can't answer four, please just answer the first Okay, let I'll do this and then I'll scan your four questions. So I might have to get to other people Okay Do I know about the uberton window? Yes, I do If so, do you think it makes sense to support politicians that can shift the debate towards a more free society? I am argentine and I think this I think this way is what led me to support me Lay regardless of his zionist positioning and being in favor of some stuff like prostitution Stuff like reducing the spending deficit abolishing abortion laws public education in favor of voucher system and abolishing our currency in favor of a free currency system We're not thought of even thought of before Precisely because of him being a libertarian. He doesn't impose all his moral views on his movement You can actually find many devout catholics in it. I'm sure you can in argentina The best example being his vice president victoria vila ruel via How is it? via ruel Ben tell me if i was pronounced that right you should still be here you little shit Sorry, that's not me marky all right, um I covered this earlier I I love what me lay has managed to accomplish and I really hope I wish all the best for him and argentina under his leadership And I I do trust him. I've heard of him for years and I've liked him for a long time now I love that. He's mad as a box of frogs. I think you absolutely need eccentricity in societal leaders um V so is it a v or a b you can't tell me that because when I learned spanish I was told that v's are pronounced like b's via ruel Let me answer your question now. Okay in argentina The from what I can tell in terms let's look at the social institutions as they existed I don't believe there was any sort of aristocracy on nobility at least certainly not an organized one uh from my understanding of social structures you had the political ruling class the chattering managerial journalist class the peasants And that's it like nothing in between and I think you can mostly reduce a lot of western social Uh structures to a very similar format, but not like as completely black and white as I think I think having never had much experience with argentina. I think that's the way it was before Uh me lay came to power So I think that is what partially the reason why he's been successful through a democratic process Something that I am extremely skeptical and genuinely hateful towards. I hate democracy So much it's why I've become extremely radicalized on since uh Seizing making videos even though of course one of my most successful videos is why monarchy is better than democracy talking about hopper I've only come to Dispies with every fiber of my being democracy as a principle since then so Me lay a libertarian that I like coming to power through democracy through You'd imagine throws a spanner in those works and maybe it does um but I'm going to repeat basically my answer to an earlier question Me lay being able to shift the overton window through a democratic measure. I think it was only possible because Of the way that that social structure was set up in argentina and the massive desperation that the country was in after Obviously decades of socialist rule leaving it in complete utter shit state Um, okay, so I can see you're saying a refresh my community pager and yours. I'm sure there are I'm never able to get to all of them Uh, here's a good lesson in egalitarianism for you. Not everyone gets an answer. Sorry. That sounds more harsh I mean it to me. Um I simply can't answer them all and I like to hang out with the chat a bit more So i'm sorry if I haven't got to your question in the community post you can Uh join my discord server Uh, I think I've got a link in the description ask me there If I don't respond to you just keep pinging me and I will eventually or DM me on twitter my dms are open If you're desperate for a question that I haven't been able to answer. I hope that hope that um puts any minds at rest Okay, so I don't think that we should all go right. We just need our own melee. We need a melee for america We need a melee for european countries. We need a melee for the uk, australia, new zealand yada yada I think because we have established aristocracies people with actual Generational power which I don't for what I can tell didn't really exist in argentina This is something that must be considered when we ask how We can shift the overton window Or even if it's trying to shift the overton window something you should even bother with that's something I wonder about a lot um Let me go off a bit of a tangent here. There's something in the british history called the glorious revolution Now you can tell who won By the name of it But it is when like okay, I'm going to be I'm going to be very unbiased here This gets me very heated because it relates to jackabite issues, which I am King james the second a catholic king of england was deposed by parliament And replaced with a protestant dutch king called the william of called william of orange This was essentially a coup. It wasn't a revolution despite the name William of orange fought a few minor battles against royalist forces but essentially because The entirety of the british aristocracy were protestant. They wanted rid of king james the second because he also wasn't that great of a king Um, I have to be unbiased and acknowledge that And the entire aristocracy wanted him replaced and they did it overnight minimal bloodshed no um None of the peasantry Revolved it or got angry about it at least not until a few decades later where people said wait, hang on a minute Did that just happen? Oh, sorry? I didn't mean it sounds so fucking reddit in that phrase So in countries where the aristocracy exists, this is to say people with long-standing power They can flick the switch on society when they want to when they actually have the will to use this power They can change society overnight There was nobody like that in argentina and I think that is why me lay one If there are people like this who have The prestigious names all of the land lots of the wealth lots of the influence the connections the friends in high places If they exist within a society and you want political change. I think we have to look there Get rid of any sort of democratic sentiments you have Don't don't care about any sort of right wing or libertarian party in your country if you have an existing aristocracy You should only be looking for friends of your cause in that aristocracy And trying to get them to actually have the will to use the power of their disposal because I'm a peasant I don't have any sort of power don't have established wealth. Don't have a title Don't have a family name that comes with it. I cannot institute actual political change in britain Simply not and I refuse to accept that Me casting a vote would have any effect on any radical societal changes in this country It wouldn't anything in the democratic process is managed in these countries Okay, all right, I'm gonna have to cut it there. I could have kept on going but Man, I hope that explains it Yes, Milo is doing some very fantastic things Yes, there are of course many devout catholics and you'll find lots of them in argentina unsurprisingly And I'm a devout catholic and I absolutely stand by him in terms of what he's doing politically Yes, his zionism. Well the zionism first and foremost extremely bizarre for an anarcho-capitalist to hold very suspicious and I of course am sad that he is trying to become Jewish Which doesn't make sense like I've already said Um rather than catholic because I want everyone to be catholic But I respect and like the man. I love what he's done and I'm very glad he was there At the time he was in the place he was where a democratic method Was a way to get a libertarian in power Okay, what are all the other questions? Let me see if um Okay, first of all republic of venice. That's gonna be have to be a long one, isn't it? What do you think about the republic of venice and other pre-enlightenment republican systems that weren't exactly monarchies venice lasted 1100 years, and I believe having a natural aristocracy played an important role in that for sure, mate um I don't have much of an opinion personally on venice like yes I understand their the heights of the prosperity that they've reached the many the many bad things that they did with this prosperity across the Mediterranean um, but You know what isn't there's something to say that like uh I While of course I I hate democracy I very much dislike republics, but not every republic is a democracy as the roman empire and venice at least prove A lot when a lot of people say this they like to imagine that america isn't a democracy They say no america is a republic. No, it's not a fucking democracy You've got universal suffrage, and that's one of the main reasons why the place is so screwed um Yeah, I don't have much thoughts on venice. I don't know a whole lot about the history to be honest But yes, you make some very very valid points and what do you know? A republic led by a natural aristocracy, which is no longer politically relevant Still considered one of the most beautiful places in the world where everyone wants to go to and marvel at the beauty goodness and truth that they instill instill within their own society It for like time immorium. Yeah, they achieved so much by having a healthy Healthy is debatable, but a long-lasting natural aristocracy in charge of things How do I reconciling important? Original libertarians like Rothbard in being favor of abortion are the things that are clearly contrary to catholicism um It's quite a simple fact that a human A pre-born human is a human and therefore killing them Unprovoked and you can never be provoked by a baby in utero Or it's just a baby in general um Can it be justified? and so if a libertarian Who I massively admire is a favor of abortion outright. I don't care well Not to say, oh, I don't care that they're promotion. I don't care about their arguments um You cannot get over the fact that abortion is murder Any time ever Oh, yes, carol. By the way, if you listen to this mate, I answered your question right at the beginning. So back you go um Yeah, I'm very disappointed that there are lots of libertarians who are pro-abortion um And the the discussion around it can either be as simple as I've just made it or it can be very complicated with all the scientific and philosophical reasons to back up what I've said um But yes, I'm very sad Rothbard had that opinion um But I know he was very friendly to catholics and the catholic church itself throughout most of his life So it would have been a fascinating conversation To have with him if I would have ever been able to be so lucky. That would have been great Will I make a discord? I have made a discord. You can find the link in the description Thank you and god bless you youtube my friend. Please pray for me and I'll pray for you All right, this will be What am I gonna do? Okay, we're doing galaxies No, we're doing catholic phoenix and then galaxies questions and then we're off to the chat. What are my thoughts on gk chest? I don't have as many as I should have um, I know I do Like the guy from what I've seen but in all honesty, um, I've only ever read orthodoxy by him, which is very small and it's fantastic are his he Wow, how how how he embodies the beautiful like, um Poetic spirit of english literature so well. Oh Oh Oh, oh that man knows how to write. Oh my goodness. He's such a joy to read. Um And of course, I know he was just a brilliant Lay theologian Apologist philosopher Um fantastic man uh, I I I do often joke about being chested and peeled in that I need to lose weight um Of yeah, he's he's my scapegoat for it. Chesterton can can be massively obese And so can I and I'm going to continue stuffing my face and drinking myself silly That's the catholic work ethic Uh, so I'll reply to this first one. I've had a reply to let's see He recommended the back of the day in the journey was christianity video Yeah, I might have overstated my case. I think I was a bit, um I don't know full of this old uh Recent convert fervor Chesterton because he's he's very Like again trendy with catholic converts at the minute But I wouldn't be I would be being dishonest if I said I know enough about him to be able to say just like How much I love him. I absolutely love everything I've read so far Uh, I just need to do more of it But that goes for so many people saint or gust in first and foremost Trying to read the confessions at the moment. I just need to be better at it oros. Hello How you doing chap? I think the last time you've spoke to me you call me a toothless anglo. So how are you doing you cunt? Now it's been demonetized again Okay, we're wrapping up here soon, but okay. Glaxias question You said you've moved towards the anorex, but you're still a libertarian are great You're gonna have something to say about this, aren't you? So my question is how precisely if your viewpoints change from them. Well, I covered most of these in my video, so It would have been great if you could have said which particular Um, I don't know fundamentals Or areas I might have changed in that I could address because there's a lot like I said, I'm so So so like just schizophrenically radically anti-democracy now That like, yeah, I've never been Big into it But now I just foam at the mouth thinking about it like every fiber of my being hates democracy um I of course hold the Moral viewpoints of the catholic church some of which are more controversial than others, but everyone knows what I'm talking about um things I Didn't hold a few years ago, but I mean I did hold by the time I made my video about becoming christian Um, there's a lot there's a lot of things that I've changed on um But I feel like I'm starting to sort of tick them all off in terms of discussions and many of them will have to be their own videos But uh, yeah, happy to get into the specifics like I said via discord or twitter if anyone wants to know reach out Is it possible? Is it possible to be rationally optimistic the way things are or is becoming black pills last pessimistic inevitable? Again, here's another enlightened centrist May put perhaps cop out for you, but in the manner of Curtis yavin slash mensius mold bug take the clear pill So lots of people don't know that uh mold bug came up with the term red pill as being like the uh Used in the political sense that we use it now But he's also Advocated the clear pill. I mean it's basically always been advocating recently And this is essentially comes down to value free political analysis Something that I'm harping on about a lot now Like I was saying earlier. I think I think that the liberal slash leftist regime of the modern world is going to be overthrown by the dissident right because out of principle the dissident right is more in touch with nature and natural principles So it will always will in the end and I think that This dissident right is not going to be libertarian that wins And it's quite simply our responsibility as libertarians to try and make them more libertarian And to try and convey our mutual principles and foster them To have a better outcome than we would have otherwise I think that's simply clear pill. I know there are so many libertarians who would shit their pants at me saying this And saying no, we have to win. We have to buy we're going to win No, you're not. Sorry libertarians aren't going to be leading any sort of political charge probably ever our our role is as a influence group within the right and and I but I I Obviously hope that one day we can get to such a point of peace and stability that we can break off into our own um societies And be left alone in peace the only way we're ever going to do that is with the complete and total destruction of the left And by being friendly with the dissident right which will come to replace them Again, that's the clear pill to me Politically, I hope that makes sense all right That is it for the community page questions I'm going to scroll up a little bit and find some questions that have been in the chat But now is your chance if you want to ask anything. I've not covered off Probably do about um 15 20 minutes or round this up. I'll see if I can get to two hours I'm very tired and my throat is absolutely killing me. I didn't bring any water in with me, which was silly Um But yeah, we're gonna we're gonna start wrapping up if anything any burning questions. Let me know So going back up with guards Rat King quite like that name Wait, hang on Oh, I've not scrolled down for ages. Okay Rat King, have you heard of Broken Crown and or Aiden Paladin? Broken Crown? No. Um, I have been I think it was on a stream with Aiden before though What were we talking about? Yeah, I was definitely on some sort of live stream or podcast with them Um, yeah, really really really like them. We've been following them for a little while at least on twitter I know that she makes videos, but I've not watched those I hope I'm still thinking about the right person Uh, no, Broken Crown can't say I have heard of Got John Moravec before saying I agree with your idea of the military people are going to spread themselves and ideas through violence You want good ideas to protect yourself? To protect yourself nation and ideals probably yes, absolutely Evil will always persist in an imperfect world And the only thing we can do is defeat it every time it appears And you can't defeat it if you let your guard down if you're not willing to fight and do what it takes to win Then you are simply yeah, you're just subjecting yourself to evil at that point and that's that's all we've done That's what the entire world has done now All right, let me start That's a proper questions here now What do I think of David the Distributist? Don't I don't know much about him. Um Distributism is something I'll have to get into Obviously at some point in time um But as in the guy the Distributist I follow him Uh, I see him post a lot of good points, but like if you were to ask me about political principles I simply don't know enough to comment Now, why do I convert from the anglo-catholic branch of the cov to romanic Catholicism? I Like I I think I covered this in my return video, but I basically said I when I said in my journey to christianity video that I'm an anglo-catholic within the church of england I was more trying to convince myself than anybody else I was Genuinely saying to my at-the-time girlfriend probably before fiance um I don't worry. Yeah. Now I'm becoming christian, but don't worry. I'll never be catholic I I honestly I knew at that time as I was saying it that I was basically Just lying to myself I really think since I've first Properly encountered christianity and immediately went straight into the deep end with Thomas Aquinas It was only ever going to be a matter of time that I became catholic um so I was never a committed anglo-catholic. I think I went to one Anglo-catholic mass I lived in a part of the country at that time where there were actually lots of anglo-catholic parishes I only went to one of them and then very quickly after that just went to proper catholic mass from then on um Yeah, there you go never properly committed Uh, did you ask why? Why did I convert from anglo-catholic branch? So the only thing that was Stopping me from being catholic was Papal infallibility and supremacy and overcame that very quickly with Matthew 16 Is it 16? I'm actually going to google this one. Is this not going to tell you? Yes, um Lots of people when they ask why is the catholic church the one true church will say Matthew 16 18? I say Matthew 16 19 Now I've read this understanding the keys being given to Peter, but not the rest of the apostles as one Apostolic leader of the church on earth And just went well, that's the pope That's the successor of st. Peter easy as that. I don't need to be anglo-catholic anymore I agreed with everything and the catholic church said apart from Papal supremacy and infallibility and Matthew 16 19 change for me like that Oh, Ben actually says something before being a complete utter tosser Have I read much on catholic social teaching? How do you integrate it into your politics? Well I wish it was easy just to say what is so catholic social teaching? Oh, it's xyz It's this part of the catechism. It's these papal bulls Lots of people It's very almost let's say decentralized if you want to read catholic social teaching you get pulled in a million different directions um How much have I read on it a lot earth? I'm trying to think of what papal bulls advice specifically rare things like umano vitae um What's the uh lumen gentium? Yeah, other stuff like that. I've got a compendium of the catechism, which I've read through it's not as big as the actual catechism Uh, how do I integrate with my politics? Um Well, I just simply try I simply read the two and think how can they work together because I'm so convinced of the fundamental Principles of my faith and my political opinions. I think they're both correct and I this is why I um I don't pay much attention to whenever anybody says no catholic social teaching says you must be x y or z Politically in terms of like political ideology You cannot be a libertarian and a catholic or you must be a libertarian and a catholic cover this in my last video Does my head in because that that's just Ah, it's so uncharitable to ever view both those things those way To ever say no, there's only one political thing you can believe by being catholic I just think it's it's it's gross. It's it's really quite Yeah, horrid to view it that way. So I read catholic social teaching and I get I I delve deeper into politics And uh, I don't see a conflict between the two I get lots of people telling me no, you can't do that You can't think that and not much reason actually why lots of extremely loaded reasons of um Oh, yeah, just just a bit of fucking hysteria and it does my head and There's that while my third force on dream works is Prince of Egypt I've not watched it since I was a kid and I absolutely of course. I need to watch it again I'm sure it's brilliant. I know that lots of people that I trust In terms of being christian Do you believe in it? No, I believe in it. Love it. So I need to watch it again for those who don't know None of you want to know I said my throat was hurting and then my wife came in with a glass of water That's how you know, I'm living the life. She's also made a massive batch of brownies today. Now we're going to dig into tomorrow Okay Matthew does mapping. He's an interesting thing Our orthodox christian still considered part of the church. I'm just a christian. I've been turned off from Protestantism um, well, yes, uh the Catholic view of the eastern orthodox is that they are part like essentially a They are schismatics within the the true church with a capital C um They aren't heretics. There are certain people within uh eastern orthodox. You of course can hold heretical views um, but the the catholic the roman catholic church is making some serious efforts to try and re commune with the eastern churches because We agree they have existed as long as we have um and we were Quite on and off. We've never had the easiest of relationships But were in commune until 1054 ad We became very very close to uh, reconciling this schism in I think the 1400s. I don't remember which council it was um And it fell through basically at the last minute Uh So yes, we are churches that can be in communion with each other but are in uh separated by schism And have been for about a thousand years. Uh, but I really hope that can be undone Yes, we say they are part of the church and we want to be reunited with them Uh, but saying that you are a christian and you've been turned off from Protestantism Yeah, I'm biased. Of course. I'd want you to be roman catholic rather than eastern orthodox, but I will say This is entirely for your own benefit. My biases aside Ask yourself why you might be drawn to eastern orthodoxy rather than roman catholicism Is it because they They they talk they give a lot of big talk online Is it because they have a particularly they do have an extremely unique aesthetic It's not entirely to my taste, but I get why it is to many people Oh, is it because you think that their ecclesiology Which is to say their theory of church the church what the church is and the way the church should be structured makes sense or Does it make sense that st. Peter was prince of the apostles and that that means he had A a How do we phrase it like a cooperative relationship with the apostles but Was the one in charge of them and ultimately of course christ was in charge of him or is in charge Um Yeah Is the church that christ founded very decentralized is it where all the bishops are first among equals or Is the ecclesia ecclesiologic ecclesiastical structure meant to be one where there's one guy at the top And I think yes, that is how human all human institutions Effectively work is that there's one guy at the top and I think to say No, all of our guys on earth are equal Is just silly. That's not how A rightly ordered human institution would work But I mean, okay, say you become say someone who is Protestant and is fed up with it becomes eastern orthodox I can make peace with that. I'm so glad for them. I'm so glad that they've that they would have joined an apostolic church Um, even if it is a schismatic one, I would of course just rather they not be schismatic but if your reasons for joining the eastern orthodox church are Ones that don't Affirmatively address like the most important issues of why you would choose that church over another Um Then that's a problem if it's because are they so based are they look so cool Dude, that's not I just say that's not the reason why you should be orthodox You should be orthodox if you think they are the one true church in structure and tradition If you do think that then Okay, fine. I can make peace with that and I'm so glad that you're there Uh, but I've just so yeah, it's just so trendy right now to be eastern orthodox and not for the best reasons Okay, what else have we got? Uh, okay, right nuclear mayhem has said You've previously understood why the state is unethical. Why is it now ethical to endorse any monarch no matter how benevolent? I suppose it depends what you mean by endorse um Say for example king charles today said he is Raising an army along with the nobility to fight against parliament. Fucking hell. I would join the army in an instant if I could Man like the the absolute state of parliament is despicable and I would rather King Charles be In charge of this country than parliament Uh, I despise parliament so much and what they're doing that I would be willing to fight for that um I quite I don't know I can can you say that you want social change if you're never actually willing to Put your money where your mouth is I think there's a valid question, but it depends what you mean by endorse monarchies like uh What is my political ideal? It's not that at all. Um, it's 100,000 lichtenstein's Voluntary lichtenstein's hopefully um such as mold bugstead, but lichtenstein is a principality that um A monarchy is the correct societal structure for A human society to have because we're hierarch hierarchical creatures And it is my wish that we could all have voluntary monarchial societies um And I think yes, it's this understanding which is probably why I'm not so Like spitting acid when talking about monarchs in particular Like you'll find so many libertarians being um I think it's because I'm so much more sympathetic to a monarch than a politician I just because uh I think I think monarchies can be fixed. Maybe that's the way to put it Monarchies can be fixed parliaments. I don't think they realistically can Need to repent and believe in the gospel amen. We all do You don't need social change. You need to be left alone. How do you imagine that happening? When the current powers that be in society are not leaving you alone Doesn't that mean you'll need social change? I think it does All right, I think we're slowing down. There's quite a few I haven't mentioned um Tell you what insight outlaw said finally a bit of a Firstly a bit of a weird question. What are your opinions on bristol city? Secondly, are you still a fan of the philosophy of stoicism? But you've capitalized bristol city with a b in the c Is that the name of the football team? I think it might be absolutely no thoughts on the football team I can tell you that bristol as a city It's a weird one people from bristol and many people who've been to bristol love it I think it's just it's it's a nothing place. I don't I don't understand Any appeal of that city? um, it's just a student party center with some quite really ugly uh architecture no real sense of community A weird place really weird. I think lots of people think it's way more leftist than it is and write it off because of that um And I'm I'm I still a fan of the philosophy of stoicism. Yes uh, there's Certainly problems with Areas of stoicism that don't just deal with Like the more psychological aspects of just what how to live your life Uh, how to live with the things you can't control, you know the typical stuff like that um All of those are absolutely superseded by Aristotelian methods of philosophy and these are aspects of like epistemology and um What's the word like determinism stoicism is very bad for being determinist But yes, generally still a fan. It's a great entry for most people into philosophy But it's not a complete philosophy in and of itself Uh, whereas something like Tomism is and it's brilliant. It encompasses lots of the best bits of stoicism Correcting its successes, but also just encompassing a lot more correctly Oh, okay true currently can't sleep because there's a student party going downstairs. Okay. I can imagine where you are then Yeah, weird place man, I imagine you're there because of uni too. I mean University of Bristol is great U. E. I've heard it's a bit of a scum a hive of scum and villainy So you might go there apologies if you do Um, yeah, Bristol don't get it. I don't get the appeal I've spent enough time there to have a affirmative decision Bristol Cathedral the Anglican Cathedral absolutely amazing Clifton Cathedral the the catholic one Absolutely disgusting. I hate that place. It's it's brutalist. It was built in the 1970s It's horrific. I hope they correctly Demolish it and then With the writer rights of con consecration and all that and then build an actual nice one Um, beanie. Hello thoughts on lechium in argentina. What's happened afterwards? Uh, I've probably discussed it about three times this stream. Uh, it's very very hot topic, but for good reason Um, I'm so glad I love me le we've talked about the the issues of me links. Obviously basically just being the zionism um What's happened afterwards? I've heard he's been well. I mean, yeah, he's been like a suppressing leftist protest fine by me as per Rothbard um Yeah, great very glad it's happened. I'm looking forward to the future But um, there we go everyone. We've just passed the two hour mark. I wasn't meant to go on for this long, but uh, I've been quite rambly Um, I hope you've all enjoyed it It's been good to be back. Like I say get things off my chest catch up with some people Third year ue student, but you agree cool Yeah, I imagine you wouldn't be settling there then afterwards Um Okay, right ben. I'll answer your question just before we wrap up I don't know what the hell you're on about. Sorry. What do I think about? What non libertarians have called eggers by which they mean inconsistent and dishonest scholarly work And do you think they're right in calling Rothbard an egg? I never heard that term um Yeah, probably not right in calling him that I'd like to know in what ways they do Uh, I have quite a quite a problem With one particular aspect that Rothbard wrote about in an academic sense I've voiced it before but I'll have to go into it deeper Another day Skip your question on injectivism. Sorry. There's a lot I like about objectivism. There's a really a lot I dislike Um, it's my more nuanced of opinions for sure thoughts on hopper and hoppianism Well, I've surprised you ask love the man love hoppians love hoppianism So deeply I think quite simply, um If it ever came down to one reason why I will always be a libertarian it's the existence of hopper That's the the fundamental foundation used to be Rothbard, but now it's hopper What's my stance in regards to the israel-hamas war? Very much dislike both of them and I know that's that's uh, it's it's not a unique opinion by any means um Yeah, I have absolutely no affiliation either way completely irrelevant to me obviously so sad genuinely sad, um that it's happening the suffering is immense and some incredibly important Christian historical sites have been destroyed christians have been murdered outright by both sides utter utter tragedy but one that I have no uh sway in praxeb I've discussed romans 13 not not very in-depth Not with an answer that blows anything out of the water But uh, sorry, I can't give you a timestamp, but we have gone over that With lenuance my thoughts on distributism in hellaire bellock um I've got bellock's history of the crusades. I really like that book. It's all I've read of him I really love his intentions though of trying to write a french and english history with due reverence to Catholicism And distributism My problem with distributism, I don't have a well, okay the thing is with distributism It means a million different things to a million different people no one can agree um The specifics of a distributist economy and what the principles are and what it would look like and so I I just don't really entertain it There's so many Catholics who will say no distributism is when you do this this and this but then you can find so many other Catholic intellectuals said no it's when you do this this and this and yeah, they're not that different but It's hard to even define the very principles of distributism. So I simply don't spend much time thinking about it Uh, I don't think it's anyway near as established as its proponents like to believe it is Do I agree with hop on russia in ukraine? I can't remember his opinion on it. I'll have to Is this on like the pfs? Or something I'll have to look it up because I'd like to hear it. I made my own live stream about russia in ukraine when it first kicked off I'm sure I'll probably still have the same sort of thoughts As I did then now thoughts on nuclear energy, uh, the way forward. There is no other way forward really Hopper block beef Oh I don't know about hopper and block. I know what block's been saying in regards to israel And I know what lou rockwell has said in response to him Um, I don't know what hopper has said in response to him. He sort of endorses ukrainian surrendering I mean, yeah, I can imagine I can imagine him making a case for that um My my my personal thoughts from that stream were essentially like neither side is innocent at all uh, ukraine has been extremely Despotic towards the donbas for years and years and years now and now russia's basically is then devined but I think in terms of a proportionate force being used ukraine has a slight upper hand In terms of legitimacy very very slight, uh, both of them still Absolutely terrible in their conduct But there we go Cool, right.
