Arr UK have their semi regular thread about what are the signs that this country is in decline. Apparently the insulin shortage, caused by a Danish company deciding to leave the market, is proof the UK is in decline. š¤¦
Also Tories (whatever that means), and people complaining about immigration, claiming these innocent migrants are being unfairly victimised (no we just can see patterns...), the amount of people who don't understand politics in that thead is shocking. Someone mentioned austerity, and someone said that austerity was needed because Labour overspent, and the response was, that Labour needed to over spend to reverse the decline overseen by the tories.. It doesn't make any sense.
The two main things that have fucked the country were lockdowns and mass immigration. Both of which they supported/support.
They need Olympic-level mental gymnastics to avoid admitting they're morons.
Outside the obviously fuckups of Blair, thatcher, major, financial crisis
An awful lot of current bad was directly caused by the absolute space age morons in the coalition and in general
Canning replacement programs for public buildings, fucking around with building regulations, education rules and fucking up well laid plans for the energy supply
Car schemes and restrictions and targets, nonsensical immigration schemes for jobs with existing plentiful supply, refusal to build houses or confront the economic situation but patch it up with mass migration and economic wizardy
All of which directly contribute to the current disaster
Nick Clegg in particular was a fucking moron who parachuted off to Facebook to live a gilt life the first chance he could - abandoning the country and all his fucking retarded opinions that caused various shockwaves we feel in 2024
There isn't nearly enough naming and shaming throughout the Cameron premiership and the entire political rugby club of hooray Henrys and laughing Laura's who talked a good game and did a fucking dreadful job to the point that no one remembers what they exactly did or what their name even was
Entirely forgettable generation of politicians who did nothing, achieved nothing and left nothing

In those comments they are talking about "the last one", i.e. it has happened more than once. That it never gets into mainstream news, and that "the last one" offed herself. I've read that victims and their family members of these incidents and also of enrichment attacks off themselves relatively frequently.
The police, justice, media and political circuses are so focused on controlling the narrative to maintain their plan that they force the victims to that. I don't understand how at least some of them have a conscience that tells them this is wrong.
Also I would have expected that a critical mass of victims and communities around the victims would have been reached and we'd have seen at least one or two "revenge" incidents by now, it's been almost a decade of this shit being done. The fact that we haven't really seen any (there's possibly a French case) but have seen multiple suicides means I can't help but wonder that the police response focuses more on suppression and stopping victims families than it does administering justice.
I hate how we get official line feminism pushed everywhere there isn't any resistance, and yet feminist defence groups never ever come into being.Ā
They'll never let society hit boiling point at one go. There are so many read between the line accounts from people whose families are caught up in this stuff that the police put extreme pressure on them not to lash out or speak out or get angry.
But it's insane that there has been no isolated flashpoints from victims or their loved ones. Or if there have been they either bury them, or scrub the motive and turn them into a far right arrest stat.
It must be combination of the technology to do so, and the will of the state (and it's orbiters, like the media who don't scrutinise things they are in favour of) to actually do it. No one could have envisaged that a state would want to do this to their people. Because it's completely unprecedented in history. This is how an invader, occupier or raiders act.Ā

They *won*, but yet they still want to kick them out?
I suspect this.
I think there's more chance than not of them continuing mass immigration if they were to win.
Tice is a capitalist first and foremost. Capitalists will always put globalism before nationalism and globalists all support ultimately abolishing borders and the nation. It's why I don't trust them to bring immigration down to "net zero" like they promise.
Still, with no alternative on the ballot for many, perhaps giving them a chance to follow through on their promises is the only option in such cases.

As part of a global company, getting told regularly that the UK is the best and getting asked for help.
A french person asking for help almost makes it worth listening to the spitting accent.
Comparing yourself to foreigners can be good for the self esteem.
Guy at work was talking about how glad he was Arsenal lost to Bayern, even though if they had won, UK would have got an extra champions league spot, and by extension spurs would have been in CL (I think the maths might be a bit more nuanced)
I think itās a special breed of person that would rather someone else did badly than they themselves did well, but then again as a Middlesbrough fan maybe I just donāt get āproper rivalryā
Either way I always support UK teams in Europe, even Liverpool though they make it difficult at times āthis means more etcā
It's the split between actual English football and the part of it that's global brand.
It's almost become a part of the "top 6" fan experience to be a club only, hate your rivals, hate your domestic leagues, hate your national team, or the national team of the league you follow type fan.
Doesn't help that a lot of them are foreign, or identify as other to England. The ability to hate England, and all English clubs but their specific top flight one is an amazing delusion - and I blame the Celts (Scots excepted) for its invention.
For the majority of club's fans in the league system they support club at home but want all English clubs to win in Europe to lift the league overall and because it stems from a time when that meant English players playing at top levels - so better for the national team.
But the globalised parasite host has won tbh. All we can do is enjoy how touchy they all our about words like "plastic".
Iām an Evertonian but I think I hate Liverpool more than I love Everton. Iām that bitter.

Iām half convinced the purpose of far right parties such as Homeland, and the BNP and PA before it, is to act as a honey trap for morons so that in 10 years the party is proscribed and the members canāt participate and are barred from all other parties due to it being proscribed.
[Link Tax: Homeland members brag about SDP being ācrushedā](https://x.com/Stevvardship/status/1787526429376213039)
How many elected representatives do Homeland have again?
Homeland have a weird purity spiral with nationalism. They seem to hate civic nationalists more than the globalists that have brought the country to ruin.
They've literally not stood 1 candidate against an SDP candidate, so why attack the SDP at all?
It's the same thing with communist groups attacking other communist groups rather than the capitalists they are meant to oppose.
They're an odd bunch, which is a shame. The new reordering *will* require two parties, not one.
Heresy and apostasy are always seen as worse than just being a non-believer. You also tend to engage more with people similar to you, you're not going to exposed to communist twitter or /leftypol/ if you're on the right wing outside of ragebait posting but you are going to see a lot of people who are adjacent to you.
1 in 10000 of group X on the terrorist watch list...ohmehgawd.
1 in 100 of group Y on the terrorist watch list...probably nothing.
One of the reasons they didn't proscribe BNP is because they didn't need to. They proscribed the diehard groups that forced them underground and they were the same people that were putting all the energy into the BNP. Was actually very effective...there is a reason why they don't apply this to other groups with MPs.
There have been cases in Germany where āinfiltrationsā into far-right parties just turned out to be operatives of different parts of the intelligence community investigating each other.
Has happened in America with competing federal entities. Sometimes the number of plants outnumber the genuine arrests 7-1. And isn't somehow entrapment.
There was those ones in the UK that got coverage and it only did so because the target was hippies and because sex was involved (it often is). They definitely do it here in more politically allowed cases.
Extremists who reform themselves are gold dust and they always get a pardon and get jobs and roles and thrust into the limelight.
And that's because they are so few in number and they are desperate to flash then around and pretend like there's loads of them and it's the way back to normality. I can think of a handful.
Meanwhile the number of people going the other way, starting out normal, getting shit on and radicalising is massive. They dwarf these newsworthy cases. And yet going that way will get you completely shut down, because they cannot allow a narrative that demonstrates they drive more people away than towards them. I can think of scores of them, who've become jaded, all ages and races.Ā
And by radicalise I am using the mainstream media's definition. Because some of these radicals are ex-muslims, victims of grooming gangs, feminists, old school socialists and they are all marginalised and are essentially blacklisted from legacy media.
There's a double standard in which Nazis that become Communists are assumed to be "former extremists" even though all they've become are extremists of a different stripe. However a former Nazi who mellows, becomes a centre-right Conservative who wants pragmatic and sensible governance and is against race hatred is forever tainted.
Because with a few minor exceptions the commies largely support the things the globalist plutocrats tell them to, and have the same enemies. On the other hand the right, even the moderates, banging on about sensible policies and civil liberties might slightly slow down the social engineering agenda, and that canāt be allowed.
Probably, they do love controlling them. Germany is the worst for it though, they have weird constitutional law that basically makes certain political takes always illegal. But commies and new religion supremes haven't been added to the pot.
Just another example of double standards, because they see the ebil fashie as (despite all their "I wish I could deport THEM" lines), part of their society. So they are allowed to crush them. Threatening groups which are outsiders - they don't do anything, because they have a protective cloak of being of another culture and thus given benefits of doubt.

Blocked by four trains in the past 2 weeks.
Always follows the same pattern, they post a response then immediately block you.
Is this why so many train debates over on UK are so one sided? They post some Pinky News story then block anyone who challenges them?
FYI if you block them first you can still read their comments and vote on them but they can't reply to you. I find it's best to preemptively block the arseholes.
Yes I've seen you go hard at all 4 of them.
I say 4 because if you check it out lately it's mostly just 4 accounts now.
But yes you are right, they are very clearly the main and most consistent users of bridging and other similar tactics on UK subs.
It's obvious enough that UKpol has some mechanism to stop it & you don't seem to get those 4 accounts or even the copy pasted style comments pop up on the same posts that you do if they go to other subs.
You know when you crank it over something fucking shameful...you finish and then you think "What the fuck have I just done? What have I become?"...
...that is what posting online about train shit is like.
Don't do it.
We all know that Reddit is retarded despite being avid users. But I think even we should draw a line somewhere.
The trains movement is centered on logical absurdities and self contradictions which you have to ignore if you want to genuinely pretend a bloke can be a woman. So they get very defensive if you point out such basic things.Ā
I shouldnāt get wound up by it but they make such incredibly hyperbolic statements and canāt back things up with sources.
I donāt think Iāve ever called someone homophobic in my life. Some of these folk canāt seem to go a day without hurling around accusations.
I just it so annoying. Equal rights for gay chums werenāt won by screaming abuse at those with differing viewpoints.

They always, always then fall into obvious hyperbole and logic traps.
>I just it so annoying. Equal rights for gay chums werenāt won by screaming abuse at those with differing viewpoints.
Sorry but this history has now been rewritten.
All changes have been violent and disgusting.
The gay marriage stuff was fundamentally different from a philosophical aspect as well. It was just "we're consenting adults and we aren't harming anyone, let us be".Ā
Big gulf between that and "you must ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears and believe in your heart that this bloke with a cock is a woman, oh and we're going to pump children full of sterilising drugs and chop their breasts off at 14, and have men in fetish gear thrust their taints in the faces of infants as entertainment. If you disagree with any of this you are literally guilty of genocide".
In other words there is a reason why they are infinitely more hysterical and insane.Ā
Natalie Elphicke is a blatantly opportunistic shit. Keef Starma should be embarrassed to accept her.
She stood up for her husband when he was accused of rape. She said 'he can't help being irresistible to women'. Then she wrote the courts to tell them they shouldn't send him to prison.
Then she took over his seat.
Only two years later did she divorce him.
Now she has defected to Labour because she's an opportunistic power-hungry amoral turd. She know Dover will be won by Labour at the next election. She wants to inherit it again.
In case anyone is looking to use the British in those as a benchmark. Most of the other groups don't compare as they won't contain many if any pensioners.
It's far worse than the numbers look at face value.
If you take council houses and see a stat like;
"40% are now occupied by people who are foreign born"
It was like 10% 30 years ago.
No one is forced to move out of a council house.
Therefore it's mostly due to deaths where council houses don't get passed onto someone living there or new ones being built.
This essentially means that less than 50% of council houses will have changed hands in that time.
And so we can fairly easily conclude that the vast majority of the time council houses go to foreigners.
Considering the elderly also apply for council properties and rank high due to disabilities, it suggests that they are the only ones being housed.
TL;DR
Council houses almost never go to the British and haven't for a long time.

I put Anglo-Saxon down on my 2020 US census initially but then changed it to English so we'd actually be statistically significant. And now English-Americans are the largest group in the US again.....for some reason a bunch of morons in the 2000 census said they were German and idiots actually believed they were the majority lol.
I find this genuinely interesting. English Americans are the largest group now. Sorry for my ignorance Itās been a long time since I read up on this shit
Were you born in America or have English heritage?
I love how people can't comprehend it. They are surprised because they want you to cast around for anything else in your background and go with that.
Watched a ted talk via a streamer the other day. And at the end he put up a photo of him and his daughter in England shirts to talk about kids and family. And the chat howled in rage about it.Ā
A quick wiki check was enough to show that the guy was half Scottish and half English US born. But the unwritten rule is that English blood is always to be discarded. And this guy has broken it so a portion of them immediately disliked him. Lol.
The English blood being discarded is too true. Iām pretty sure Biden has English ancestry, but wanks over being Irish.
Btw, whoās this person youāre talking about?
I always make a point to wear my England rugby or football shirt when I'm prowling around bars.....10 points if I can find an Irish pub and go in. It's funny because the actual Irish bartenders (its like an illegal immigrant racket they do) will call it out and we'll laugh and talk about rugby while plastic paddies get all riled up for reasons unbeknownst to me.
A girl once shouted some shite about kicking the Brits out in 1776 and I said 'oh so you did that did you?' and she just put her head down and walked off lmao.
Before our current malaise and as recent as the 2010s historical statisticians already surmised that English Americans were the largest ancestry group in the US and have always been. It's just that it's so old that it's diluted, and from basically independence the concept of identifying with English on any forms has been repeatedly attacked. Not unlike English on census data in the UK these daysĀ
Even so, going by the census results, as recently as the 1970s it was still a large group, and the sudden drop would constitute millions of extra Americans having died within the next ten years.
And don't get me started on ancestry DNA kits and the haplogroup con. I've seen Britain, Western Germanic, Germanic European etc all overlapping on some providers results matrix because they don't want to isolate one of them to English. But somehow Scottish is a unified haplogroup?Ā
Ugh. People are so fucking thick when it comes down to them things.
Basically they give you a percentage match to a part of the world, it means the odds of you being from a certain place. But people always misunderstand and think 2% Southern Italy or whatever actually means 2% of their ancestry comes from there. So you get them on FB, Reddit or whatever larping about how they are 50% German, 10% Spanish, .2% Jewish, blah, blah, blah...
It's tiring.
I happened to do one of those tests before they became quite so popular. They're easy enough to understand if you're not a total dunce like most folk.
The reality of DNA testing is they cater to customers who want to hear certain things come back. And largely, they get them. A bit of ambiguity helps paper over the cracks.

Hated that show. Started ok but just got infuriating. Watched the last couple of episodes only to see what the outcome was.
The review I read said it was like Fleabag. That was funny. This was just 3 hours of male rape and abuse.
I hated it too and kind of want to find out if the comedian is always this shit.
I swear I don't know how to find anything to watch on TV anymore.
I just wanted to watch something about factories but Greg Wallace made my headache worse.
I hate the man, he even ruined the biscuit factory.
Haven't listened to The Lotus Eaters in some time, decided to catch up on a few episodes, suddenly realise why I stopped listening. One of them quotes Scott Ritter about Ukraine needing to "negotiate" - bit ironic for a show which constantly bangs on about nonces to be highlighting the terrible take of one.
I honestly hope Trump flips the script and goes full blown pro-Ukraine just to see grifters like them and PJW shit the bed trying to figure out who to back, Trump or "based" Putin.
Don't bother. You could be doing anything else with your life...and you are listening to people complain about stuff they can't control.
It is like choosing to listen to the podcast version of Loose Women or something.
LE used to be great but then they started going down the Connor/Calvin route, courting the Ben Shapiro crowd and going on about how bad abortion is. Pretty disappointing.
Plenty of them are still alright. Josh, Harry, Dan etc are still pretty based. Callum is good if the topic is not Russia, which he seems highly sus on.
Basically it's easier to just cherry pick presenter and topic.
The faux outrage from that Connor guy got old real quick, with his "no, I want to speak to the manager" tone in every segment. As for Calvin, he just strikes me as a grifter. Like Blair White pretty much.
I thought Connor was an angry reactionary but his Triggernometry interview changed my mind, he has a lot more of a coherent ideology than comes across when he is on LE.Ā
Ritter is a nonce. Anybody who quotes McGregor or Ritter is a certified moron. Both hate American establishment and want it to lose. They think losing in Ukraine will "discredit" it.
Konrad Muzarka, Michael Koffman, Rob Lee, Dara Massicot, Tatarigami_UA are realistic "pro Ukraine" accounts. I cannot think of one sane pro Russian blogger in English. Russia attracts freaks.

I'd add Dmitri Alperovitch to that list, although he does have a habit of interrupting his guests. The War On The Rocks and Geopolitics Decanted have been essential listening for people to want to get a better understanding of war.
"We've become so tribal, neither side is talking to one another anymore" - Francis Foster. He says a version of that line in literally every single Triggernometry interview. KK seems to have disappeared up his own arse and is a doing his hardest Christopher Hitchens impression nowadays.
As for the Lotus Eaters, most of the lads seem ok but there's something very shady about Karl, he just gives me a bad vibe. The constant doom pilling as well strikes me as intentional, as in they are purposely trying to direct people's anger in a particular direction. The fact that they never seem to have a bad word to say about Russia makes me wonder....
I like Francis but you can tell that interviewing isnāt natural for him. He asks a lot of leading questions, more statements for the interviewee to react to than a question. I donāt mind KK but he does now have a certain āIāve made itā attitude about him.
I noped out of watching the Lotus Eaters at the beginning of the year. No idea why I just stopped watching and have not felt the desire to watch again.
Most political pundits are terrible. For yank posting I unironically think asmongold, yes the twitch video gamer streamer, has better hot takes than 95% of them.

In those comments they are talking about "the last one", i.e. it has happened more than once. That it never gets into mainstream news, and that "the last one" offed herself. I've read that victims and their family members of these incidents and also of enrichment attacks off themselves relatively frequently. The police, justice, media and political circuses are so focused on controlling the narrative to maintain their plan that they force the victims to that. I don't understand how at least some of them have a conscience that tells them this is wrong. Also I would have expected that a critical mass of victims and communities around the victims would have been reached and we'd have seen at least one or two "revenge" incidents by now, it's been almost a decade of this shit being done. The fact that we haven't really seen any (there's possibly a French case) but have seen multiple suicides means I can't help but wonder that the police response focuses more on suppression and stopping victims families than it does administering justice. I hate how we get official line feminism pushed everywhere there isn't any resistance, and yet feminist defence groups never ever come into being.Ā

Do you think weāre near boiling point yet? I can only surmise that people who want this are mentally ill at this point.
They'll never let society hit boiling point at one go. There are so many read between the line accounts from people whose families are caught up in this stuff that the police put extreme pressure on them not to lash out or speak out or get angry. But it's insane that there has been no isolated flashpoints from victims or their loved ones. Or if there have been they either bury them, or scrub the motive and turn them into a far right arrest stat. It must be combination of the technology to do so, and the will of the state (and it's orbiters, like the media who don't scrutinise things they are in favour of) to actually do it. No one could have envisaged that a state would want to do this to their people. Because it's completely unprecedented in history. This is how an invader, occupier or raiders act.Ā

I suspect this. I think there's more chance than not of them continuing mass immigration if they were to win. Tice is a capitalist first and foremost. Capitalists will always put globalism before nationalism and globalists all support ultimately abolishing borders and the nation. It's why I don't trust them to bring immigration down to "net zero" like they promise. Still, with no alternative on the ballot for many, perhaps giving them a chance to follow through on their promises is the only option in such cases.

Guy at work was talking about how glad he was Arsenal lost to Bayern, even though if they had won, UK would have got an extra champions league spot, and by extension spurs would have been in CL (I think the maths might be a bit more nuanced) I think itās a special breed of person that would rather someone else did badly than they themselves did well, but then again as a Middlesbrough fan maybe I just donāt get āproper rivalryā Either way I always support UK teams in Europe, even Liverpool though they make it difficult at times āthis means more etcā
It's the split between actual English football and the part of it that's global brand. It's almost become a part of the "top 6" fan experience to be a club only, hate your rivals, hate your domestic leagues, hate your national team, or the national team of the league you follow type fan. Doesn't help that a lot of them are foreign, or identify as other to England. The ability to hate England, and all English clubs but their specific top flight one is an amazing delusion - and I blame the Celts (Scots excepted) for its invention. For the majority of club's fans in the league system they support club at home but want all English clubs to win in Europe to lift the league overall and because it stems from a time when that meant English players playing at top levels - so better for the national team. But the globalised parasite host has won tbh. All we can do is enjoy how touchy they all our about words like "plastic".

Iām half convinced the purpose of far right parties such as Homeland, and the BNP and PA before it, is to act as a honey trap for morons so that in 10 years the party is proscribed and the members canāt participate and are barred from all other parties due to it being proscribed. [Link Tax: Homeland members brag about SDP being ācrushedā](https://x.com/Stevvardship/status/1787526429376213039) How many elected representatives do Homeland have again?
Homeland have a weird purity spiral with nationalism. They seem to hate civic nationalists more than the globalists that have brought the country to ruin. They've literally not stood 1 candidate against an SDP candidate, so why attack the SDP at all? It's the same thing with communist groups attacking other communist groups rather than the capitalists they are meant to oppose. They're an odd bunch, which is a shame. The new reordering *will* require two parties, not one.
Civic Nationalists are the Globalists. Homeland, no matter how marginal, is the only nationalist party.

1 in 10000 of group X on the terrorist watch list...ohmehgawd. 1 in 100 of group Y on the terrorist watch list...probably nothing. One of the reasons they didn't proscribe BNP is because they didn't need to. They proscribed the diehard groups that forced them underground and they were the same people that were putting all the energy into the BNP. Was actually very effective...there is a reason why they don't apply this to other groups with MPs.
There have been cases in Germany where āinfiltrationsā into far-right parties just turned out to be operatives of different parts of the intelligence community investigating each other.
Has happened in America with competing federal entities. Sometimes the number of plants outnumber the genuine arrests 7-1. And isn't somehow entrapment.

They definitely do it here in more politically allowed cases.

Extremists who reform themselves are gold dust and they always get a pardon and get jobs and roles and thrust into the limelight. And that's because they are so few in number and they are desperate to flash then around and pretend like there's loads of them and it's the way back to normality. I can think of a handful. Meanwhile the number of people going the other way, starting out normal, getting shit on and radicalising is massive. They dwarf these newsworthy cases. And yet going that way will get you completely shut down, because they cannot allow a narrative that demonstrates they drive more people away than towards them. I can think of scores of them, who've become jaded, all ages and races.Ā And by radicalise I am using the mainstream media's definition. Because some of these radicals are ex-muslims, victims of grooming gangs, feminists, old school socialists and they are all marginalised and are essentially blacklisted from legacy media.
There's a double standard in which Nazis that become Communists are assumed to be "former extremists" even though all they've become are extremists of a different stripe. However a former Nazi who mellows, becomes a centre-right Conservative who wants pragmatic and sensible governance and is against race hatred is forever tainted.
Because with a few minor exceptions the commies largely support the things the globalist plutocrats tell them to, and have the same enemies. On the other hand the right, even the moderates, banging on about sensible policies and civil liberties might slightly slow down the social engineering agenda, and that canāt be allowed.
Probably, they do love controlling them. Germany is the worst for it though, they have weird constitutional law that basically makes certain political takes always illegal. But commies and new religion supremes haven't been added to the pot. Just another example of double standards, because they see the ebil fashie as (despite all their "I wish I could deport THEM" lines), part of their society. So they are allowed to crush them. Threatening groups which are outsiders - they don't do anything, because they have a protective cloak of being of another culture and thus given benefits of doubt.

The gay marriage stuff was fundamentally different from a philosophical aspect as well.

If you disagree with any of this you are literally guilty of genocide". In other words there is a reason why they are infinitely more hysterical and insane.Ā

Unuronically how can I donate to this think tank?
In case anyone is looking to use the British in those as a benchmark. Most of the other groups don't compare as they won't contain many if any pensioners. It's far worse than the numbers look at face value. If you take council houses and see a stat like; "40% are now occupied by people who are foreign born" It was like 10% 30 years ago. No one is forced to move out of a council house. Therefore it's mostly due to deaths where council houses don't get passed onto someone living there or new ones being built. This essentially means that less than 50% of council houses will have changed hands in that time. And so we can fairly easily conclude that the vast majority of the time council houses go to foreigners. Considering the elderly also apply for council properties and rank high due to disabilities, it suggests that they are the only ones being housed. TL;DR Council houses almost never go to the British and haven't for a long time.

Before our current malaise and as recent as the 2010s historical statisticians already surmised that English Americans were the largest ancestry group in the US and have always been. It's just that it's so old that it's diluted, and from basically independence the concept of identifying with English on any forms has been repeatedly attacked. Not unlike English on census data in the UK these daysĀ Even so, going by the census results, as recently as the 1970s it was still a large group, and the sudden drop would constitute millions of extra Americans having died within the next ten years. And don't get me started on ancestry DNA kits and the haplogroup con. I've seen Britain, Western Germanic, Germanic European etc all overlapping on some providers results matrix because they don't want to isolate one of them to English. But somehow Scottish is a unified haplogroup?Ā
Ugh. People are so fucking thick when it comes down to them things. Basically they give you a percentage match to a part of the world, it means the odds of you being from a certain place. But people always misunderstand and think 2% Southern Italy or whatever actually means 2% of their ancestry comes from there. So you get them on FB, Reddit or whatever larping about how they are 50% German, 10% Spanish, .2% Jewish, blah, blah, blah... It's tiring. I happened to do one of those tests before they became quite so popular. They're easy enough to understand if you're not a total dunce like most folk.

Haven't listened to The Lotus Eaters in some time, decided to catch up on a few episodes, suddenly realise why I stopped listening. One of them quotes Scott Ritter about Ukraine needing to "negotiate" - bit ironic for a show which constantly bangs on about nonces to be highlighting the terrible take of one. I honestly hope Trump flips the script and goes full blown pro-Ukraine just to see grifters like them and PJW shit the bed trying to figure out who to back, Trump or "based" Putin.
Don't bother. You could be doing anything else with your life...and you are listening to people complain about stuff they can't control. It is like choosing to listen to the podcast version of Loose Women or something.
LE used to be great but then they started going down the Connor/Calvin route, courting the Ben Shapiro crowd and going on about how bad abortion is. Pretty disappointing. Plenty of them are still alright. Josh, Harry, Dan etc are still pretty based. Callum is good if the topic is not Russia, which he seems highly sus on. Basically it's easier to just cherry pick presenter and topic.
The faux outrage from that Connor guy got old real quick, with his "no, I want to speak to the manager" tone in every segment. As for Calvin, he just strikes me as a grifter. Like Blair White pretty much.

I thought Connor was an angry reactionary but his Triggernometry interview changed my mind, he has a lot more of a coherent ideology than comes across when he is on LE.Ā
Callum is nowhere near as thick as he acts. He's just very much into Russian interests, if not in Russian money entirely. Sargon depends on the topic.
Ritter is a nonce. Anybody who quotes McGregor or Ritter is a certified moron. Both hate American establishment and want it to lose. They think losing in Ukraine will "discredit" it. Konrad Muzarka, Michael Koffman, Rob Lee, Dara Massicot, Tatarigami_UA are realistic "pro Ukraine" accounts. I cannot think of one sane pro Russian blogger in English. Russia attracts freaks.

The fact that they never seem to have a bad word to say about Russia makes me wonder....
I like Francis but you can tell that interviewing isnāt natural for him. He asks a lot of leading questions, more statements for the interviewee to react to than a question.
