When I got arrested for Nazi Pug, I got held in jail until my court date due to the "serious nature" of my "offence".

But the guy who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure to try and have him ripped limb from limb has already been bailed the very next day.

Re: Karmelo Anthony and his defenders:

Obviously there is some blind black tribal loyalty involved, but I think there’s something else and arguably worse.

The facts seem to be this: Karmelo invaded another track team’s tent. He did this to assert dominance. When asked to leave, he issued threats: ��touch me and see what happens.” After repeatedly telling him that he was not welcome, and in response to provocation, Austin Metcalf pushed him, trying to get him to comply with basic social norms. Karmelo, no doubt delighted that he had now received permission for escalation under his own code, stabbed Austin to death.

The black defenders of Karmelo believe this is how society should operate: an endless war of all against all to assert dominance, escalating when one’s assertions are rebuffed. They’re mad that the justice system got involved, because in their minds this is the proper way to conduct business: omnipresent dominance signaling, inevitably leading to violence.

They genuinely don’t understand that other people don’t operate according to those rules. And they certainly don’t understand that our rules, by drastically reducing friction and needless cost, are the very reason for the disparities in group power they complain about. We are polite internally and can thus exert greater collective power externally. A few Karmelos in the mix destroys this system.

But they don’t care that running things their way would be the end of civilization, the end of their cell phones and EBT and air conditioning, because they don’t understand it. They don’t understand anything about the modern world. They are lost here, confused. This state of affairs is not sustainable.

Henry's stab wounds were so severe that he would have died whatever the police did, but at the same time his injuries were so slight that the officers didn't notice them and decided it was a good idea to handcuff him.

[Bryan @AB75HM]

It strikes me as strange that the police claim they cannot be culpable because the pathologist has ruled Henry’s wounds so severe that they were impossible to survive. However, the police also claim that the wounds were so slight that they couldn’t see them at the scene and were misled by the perpetrator. As a result, they callously handcuffed the dying young man, brutally mocking him as he drowned in his own blood.

[Dries Van Langenhove @DVanLangenhove]

A very sad announcement.

I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.

In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.

Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.

In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.

Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”

That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.

Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."

You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.

Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.

The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.

Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.

Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.

If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.

If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

A lot of people are asking why the "Libertarian moment" failed to materialize. Here are my thoughts, as a former Libertarian myself.

About ten years ago, there was an expectation, certainly within libertarian circles but across the Right at large, that the future of "Conservatism" in the US would be Libertarianism. There was this belief that the GOP would become a vehicle for libertarian philosophy and that the Right as a whole would be moving in a far more libertarian direction.

The Tea Party movement, Ron Paul's presidential bids, the prospect of a future Rand Paul bid, and old Reagan quotes about how the essence of conservatism is libertarianism were all in vogue if you were involved in any sort of Right-wing politics in America.

There really was this feeling that the old Reaganite fusion was exhausted and the Iraq era had discredited Neoconservatism. Meanwhile, the 2008 crash, coupled with the managerialism of the Obama presidency, had radicalized a bunch of young men into rejecting what they saw as the establishment narratives of both parties.

For a 20-something-year-old guy, being able to proudly say that he hated both Bush and Obama felt incredibly liberating. Ron Paul's two presidential runs, and the prospect of a third and potentially more successful one from Rand, promised to herald in a new era for American politics.

Libertarianism also seemed like a great diffuser of the insidious social Progressivism that was beginning to creep into all mainstream institutions. The Great Awokening was just in its beginning stages, and at the time there seemed to be absolutely no response to the Progressive agitprop that was gaining traction on the Left. We understood that these "social movements" were all pulling in the same direction, but no one had any idea how to address them because they were about as intense as they were insane.

Libertarianism seemed to offer a great response. Do nothing.

I'm serious. There was this expectation that we could completely sidestep the Great Awokening and nip the entire thing in its bud by adopting a "You do you" approach. By pretending like social or cultural issues didn't matter, or in some cases, that Progressives were actually in the right on them, Libertarianism offered an avenue for the Right to seemingly take off the table an entire revolutionary movement that we all thought was driving young millennials (who were still in their teens and early 20s) into identifying as Democrats or Socialists or even Communists.

"I don't care about the culture war. I want gay married couples to be able to adopt and protect their marijuana operation that's going on in the basement of their private property with AR-15s, and I want to abolish the income taxes they make on it, too."

But when this tactic was put into practice, it never seemed to work.

I remember in my old libertarian days over a decade ago, having conversations with Leftists my age in high school and college, and it was always disappointing. It's like I kept trying to win them over and explain I was on their side and that they just needed to understand that wealth redistribution and socialism were bad policies, but that we were both "social liberals" who wanted the same thing. I just wanted them to be rich on top of it all.

And for some reason, it just never worked. At the time, I didn't understand why.

But I do now.

Libertarianism offered the possibility of escaping politics itself while still being political. You could tell someone that you didn't care about their lifestyle, worldview, theology, or culture, and still plausibly make the case for why they should vote for you and implement your policies, because your policies were all about transcending conflict rather than confronting it.

Libertarianism offered the illusion of a sophisticated ideology for adults who had outgrown the tribal passions of the past. But that's exactly why it failed. It was always operating like a parasite on an older order that it didn't create and couldn't defend, but few of us could see it at the time because of the nature of the world around us.

But that world, like the Bushite one before it, died.

Mass migration and open borders actually changed the visual landscape of America in a way that was far more abrupt than the gradual changes of decades earlier.

The Great Awokening, which Libertarianism offered to neutralize with its "live and let live" attitude, ended up devouring everything around it until people could no longer ignore it.

The economic situation, which Libertarianism had such elegant solutions for as the centerpiece of its entire worldview, actually ended up being far more complex than the activists ever expected.

America's massive twin fiscal and trade deficits, endless QE, zero interest rate environment, and the hollowing out of the Rust Belt all coincided with the rise of managerial credentialism, the professional laptop class, and the adoption of Progressivism as the civic religion of every institution and profession that seemed to be benefiting from these very policies. "Social Justice Warrior" and "Rich Liberal" became synonymous with all the institutions that had betrayed America.

This created a rebellion, as Libertarians expected, but the moment Trump arrived, he revealed that the overwhelming majority of those rebels were not interested in smaller government in the abstract. They were looking for a government that would fight for them.

They had felt betrayed, humiliated, forgotten, and denigrated. They believed, correctly, that they were losing their country. They had a deep resentment of our oikophobic ruling class and their wacky social views that seemed to always pop up whenever core elements of their way of life were about to be torn away from them.

And once those things came to the surface, the "Libertarian moment" was essentially dead because it had no satisfying answer to the actual question being asked, which wasn't "how to balance the budget?" or "what procedural railguards can we set up to protect Americans from warrantless wiretapping?"

It was “Who rules, in whose interest, and can we do anything to stop our dispossession at the hands of people who openly hate us?”

The Libertarian moment failed because it had no answer to this question, which has essentially been the foundation of all of American politics since Obama's second term.

It's a political ideology that wants to escape politics itself, and the moment politics became more than just a complicated math problem and instead was about which vision of civilization would prevail, the entire premise disintegrated.

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

We are never re-joining the EU, the single market or the customs union. The are dozens of reasons why, but the most pertinent reason is that the people who want that are not going to be in power ever again after 2029. The next general election goes one of three ways. Either it's a Reform win, or a Reform-Tory coalition, or a blocking coalition on the left. A Reform-led government is not going to do it for obvious reasons, while a rainbow blocking coalition holding a rejoin referendum would lose for much the same reasons as they lost in 2016. They'd be see as anti-democratic tyrants and they'd be universally hated.

It won't even happen in the long term either. My money is on a Reform-led government which falls apart within three years, causing unprecedented political instability and the collapse of the party system as we know it. If there is any resurgence of the left it will be the hard left, and re-joining the EU won't be on their list of things to do - not least because the single market system is designed to constrain economic radicalism of any kind.

By this point, you won't be able to sell Brits on the idea that they're missing out on anything, not least because Europe's in an even bigger mess than we are, and the EU is amidst its greatest competence crisis of all time. Over the last decade or so, the running of EU institutions has passed to a new generation of technocrat who wasn't involved in the creation of the systems they're entrusted to run, don't know how they work or what they're even for. They have even less idea how to reboot European growth, not least because EU climate and energy policies are causing most of the problems. We might not even have to wait a decade to see France drifting towards the exit.

I've been involved in Euroscepticism for all of my adult life and Ukip types always predicted the EU would collapse, but I recall in the run up to 2016, that looked less plausible. It's too big to fail in that way, so it will be kept on life support as it gradually fades into irrelevance, and the single market quietly dismantled by stealth. The Euro will be the only lasting instrument. It will continue to churn out stifling regulation, but willingness to enact it will fade and the EU will lack the authority to enforce any of it. It's just going to linger as a dead weight on the windpipe of the European economy, probably for another fifty years. There won't be any great enthusiasm for dismantling it, but no great willingness to see it through to its intended conclusions.

As such, as an entity, it lacks the energy and sense of purpose it had in the 1990s. The great united European utopia never arrived, never delivered on its promise, and even its own parliament is now occupied by people who don't even like it. Renewed British participation would only see 73 more nuisance MEPs.

On that basis, the EU would go to great lengths to deter Britain from re-joining. The EU presently has all the UK market access it requires, and vested interests (not least French agriculture) would not wish to reciprocate, and would not allow any UK-specific carve-outs or special status. Attempting to rejoin on those hostile terms, especially without a ratification referendum, would trigger a constitutional crisis, probably triggering a general election that would put the kibosh on the entire enterprise.

Ultimately, the liberal international order that rejoiners wish to preserve has already collapsed, and the post-war delusions about European federalism are dead. Perhaps in the future Britain may join a treaty organisation that formally dissolves the EU in favour of a trade and defence alliance, but that doesn't happen until Britain has resolved its fundamental political identity crisis - which may not be soon and may not even happen without a civil war. Meanwhile Europe has its own reckonings with its aloof political elites.

Ultimately, rejoiners are not looking to rejoin the EU. They are looking to go back in time before all the consequences of liberal globalism arrived. But there is no putting that genie back in the bottle, and their political worldview will never be popular again. The socio-economic cohort that wants to rejoin is a dying breed while nationalism is making a comeback everywhere. The powers that be could try to bounce the UK back into the EU but its pretty close to a declaration of war on the people at this point. Even Labour MPs aren't stupid enough to try it.

If you’re wondering what is going on in the UK right now, the state is having a complete meltdown about the working-classes of this country daring to mobilise on the streets.

Until now, the political class and the state have been absolutely fine with people protesting.

Islamist sympathisers? Fine.
Antisemites? Fine.
Pro-Iran stooges? Fine.
BLM revolutionaries who protest while breaking Covid laws? Fine.

The prime minister will even ‘Take the Knee’ to show he is with you.

If you’re a ‘former’ Islamist and ally of al-Qaeda he’ll even invite you into Number 10 Downing Street for a cup of tea.

And if you’re an antisemite who calls for violence against white people and the West, such as Alaa Abd El-Fattah? He’ll welcome you with open arms.

But if you happen to belong to the decent majority of hardworking, tax-paying and patriotic Brits whose ancestors actually built this country then you must be treated very differently.

You are considered a threat.
You are considered dangerous.
You are considered divisive.
You are considered evil.

The very same state that has pushed people to the very edge - by refusing to fix the borders, by flooding the country with 200,000 illegals, by unleashing mass sexual assaults, by entrenching two-tier justice - now demands that the people who have to live with this do not say anything about it at all.

And if they do protest, then they must feel the full force of the law in a way that others do not.

The majority must be policed while minorities are protected.

Facial Recognition technology.
Revised CPS guidance.
Countless more police.
Warnings from politicians.

The only silver lining is that now, today, everybody can see it.

Everybody can see what is happening. It’s out in the open.

The bias is unavoidable.

And everybody has had enough.

Keir Starmer and the British state clearly hate many of their fellow citizens.

They clearly do not view people who happen to hold different views as legitimate.

But by treating them in this way they are only ensuring that the numbers of those who do choose to protest tomorrow spiral to levels they can no longer contain, silence, ignore, or dismiss.

[Æthelstan @TheHauskarl]

Will Self's excellent contribution in the Daily Telegraph is powerful and worth reading, it leaves an impact on me that will become clear by the end - I've linked it below.

The author puts his finger on the inherent instability of the Yookay project; it's self-perpetuating identity crises that represent either a bug or a feature depending on one's political inclinations.

It is a self-portrait of the national self as it disintegrates, one atomised into a roiling morass or competing communities, the centrifugal force of each propelled by the rising market value of grievance culture.

I call it "grievance culture" as a riff on Self's reference to a "tort" claim, originating from the French "avoir tort" i.e "to be in the wrong" and its consequent monetisation, but I digress.

Within this new Yookay framework, each group is incentivised to compete for a scarce supply of special dispensations and indulgences afforded to them by a withered and declining proportion of net tax contributors. Unlike capitalism, this is a Zero Sum game.

Alas if we are all special snowflakes, then none of us are special snowflakes - and yet in the midst of all these enthusiastic competitors, I feel alone, and a sense of urgency and unease overtakes me and asks:

If I am permitted no community, then who am I? No man is an island, each one knows himself in relation to others, so who now speaks for me?

Perhaps the Unite the Kingdom might have passed muster with the progressive Blob had it been called the "Unite the Communities" party instead.

It’s also important to point out that social status economies and reputational threat have been the primary mechanisms for ideological regimentation among progressives for a decade now.

They’ve basically lost the ability to argue their positions in a coherent way and reflexively fall back to these sorts of tactics.

This has been bad for progressives because it’s catastrophically impeded their sense making ability and, even worse, had an extremely corrosive effect on broader social life as politics has been elided with normal everyday interactions.

Libs have lost their cultural power and their status economies have been devalued, and so now these tactics have lost most of their power. But libs still behave the same way even without a purposeful incentive purely out of spite. When you point this out to them they’ll deny it and sadly I think that’s because it’s become second nature to them and because they still derive some psychological satisfaction from it.
