"Take any aspect of the Western inheritance of which our ancestors were proud, and you will find university courses devoted to deconstructing it..."
Sir Roger Scruton
I've seen this clip many times, now, and Peter Hitchens' lucidity and sincerity never ceases to resonate. He is the one sane man in a madhouse of liberals, trying desperately to get them to understand that our problems are self-made and the system we have created is destroying something not only precious but irreplaceable.
Naturally, nobody understood him, and so he is not so much a posh Nostradamus but instead an English Cassandra, doing everything to raise the alarm but forever cursed to cast his pearls before swine.
One can feel the desperation in his presentation. When they accuse him of, in fact, hating Britain it becomes clear that they have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Tragic, frankly.
BREAKING: France arrests 420 people, including 166 minors, accused of deliberately or accidentally starting wildfires amid its worst fire damage since World War II.
@thetimes Hohn has so much money, and lavishes so much of it on the likes of Extinction Rebellion at the expense of democracy, he doesn't know in the interview whether he spends $250 million or £250 million a year financing the green blob as it destroys our economy, industries...
Massive puff-piece in Today's @thetimes on Christopher Hohn asks zero relevant critical questions about the billionaire buying British politics and civil society.
Those who equate “fascist” with “racist” seem to have never heard of Mussolini.
It’s more accurate to equate fascist with “statist” and authoritarian as essential features.
This is why fascism is a more properly a hard-left ideology.
