@MaddManneh Guys saying 'try hit me, try hit me'. This wasn't a snake bang.

@Ihatevry14 @williammur44986 @TheOfficerTatum Dumb as fuck honestly.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@gritty_uk @edmattyx He literally does have potential. The guy isn't smart enough to put a proper team together, doesn't know his arse from his elbow in business.

I don't need to be flown out mate I earn more than your old man 😄

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@Randomgirlon_x @FrenlyFrenchBoi You must have forgotten about the British SAS

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@TrendsDotGlobal @elonmusk Then you've got a drug fueled city that will be destroyed within a month. Are you stupid or just stupid?

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@emiliciaa @p3t324 @JamesForTW @BiteYourBrum Are they leaving the ECHR so they can deport en masse? No. So they aren't doing enough. Illegal immigration, don't conflate this with asylum and legal migration. Vastly different concepts.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@emiliciaa @p3t324 @JamesForTW @BiteYourBrum My dad is also an immigrant. You'll grow up one day and realize you're wrong. Illegal immigration is out of control. Go to any city centre and you'll see.

@Naka1888c @EssexPR @GBPolitcs You're a fucking pussy. Go and sit with the women you feminine cunt. The world isn't nice when you want to be a murderous terrorist.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@callumseuk This guy is such a fucking dead brain. He's got no idea what is going on.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@Goatedko Guy is dumb af

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@ZackPolanski You're a fucking idiot

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@campbellclaret Every single time you get ratio'd. I'm glad you're so sure of yourself because literally EVERYONE thinks you are the prick.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@TheNewsAgents @maitlis Dystopian is what America will look like if you don't do this. Emily Maitlis has never heard of critical thinking.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

That shit was so embarrassing. Moving like a 15 year old after their first drink.

[Odysseus @shotellier91]

@NotFarLeftAtAll @TRobinsonNewEra Tommy would slap this retard up.

Here's my full response:

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐒𝐍’𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃 — 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐀𝐋
⁣⁣⁣
Before disputing Gad Saad’s conclusion, you have to honestly acknowledge 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 — not the cartoon version his critics argue against.
⁣⁣⁣
Here is his argument, 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, without distortion or euphemism.
⁣⁣⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬.

Not apologize for them. Not relativize them. 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
⁣⁣⁣
2. 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝.

The unicorn fantasy that all cultures are interchangeable is 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞.
⁣⁣⁣
3. 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬.

Rights belong to individuals, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬.
⁣⁣⁣
4. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥.

Some reliably produce freedom, innovation, and prosperity. Others do not. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭.
⁣⁣⁣
5. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬.

Tolerance does not require 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
⁣⁣⁣
6. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞.

Assimilation is 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 — not an optional courtesy.
⁣⁣⁣
7. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞.

No sacred cows. 𝐍𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞.
⁣⁣⁣
8. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐲.

Meaning: 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
⁣⁣⁣
9. 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬.

If an ideology constitutes an existential threat to freedom, criminalization is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐲 — 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞.
⁣⁣⁣
That’s the list. 𝐍𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬. 𝐍𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬.
⁣⁣⁣
And on the diagnosis, Gad Saad is 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. Those principles are 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥.
⁣⁣⁣
Where I part ways is 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲.
⁣⁣⁣
Elites lack fortitude. Bureaucracies lack courage. Universities surrendered decades ago. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬.
⁣⁣⁣
But civilizations don’t usually collapse because they run out of good ideas. They collapse because 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 in those ideas are bullied into silence while 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 capture institutions. That phase 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭 — until it isn’t.
⁣⁣⁣
History doesn’t show endless death spirals. It shows 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The ugly part everyone fears — the instability, the backlash — is often 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐭, not the funeral.
⁣⁣⁣
The real danger isn’t that Western values are wrong. It’s that 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥. Once that spell breaks, change doesn’t happen slowly. 𝐈𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞.
⁣⁣⁣
The most dangerous weapon may be 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬.

But the most underestimated force in history is 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
