The Hubris and Entitlement of Mr Monopoly

Thoughts around the entitlement the state feels towards a monopoly on violence, money and information.

Good afternoon and welcome back to Flatcap Nationalist. This is episode number eleven, which I've called The Entitlement and Hubris of Mr Monopoly. So this is the third episode in my perversions of the state series, going through another couple of things that I find particularly perverse about the current iteration of the state. This includes the establishment and all the sort of institutions that are propped up by the tenubles of the state. So it might not necessarily be talking about the government cabinet at large. Um but it's basically the way that society and the state is structured to keep things going in one direction. Which is to say the wrong direction. So I'm sure by this point, 2026, I'm sure you've heard the expression that the government has a monopoly on violence. You know, this was uh I'm not the first person to utter these words in that combination. Yeah, people like Murray Rothbard have spoken at length about it, written great pieces about it. Uh but basically, yeah, it's the the government it's it's the only body that is permitted to use physical force to maintain their authority, right? I mean if somebody doesn't do what you want them to do and you use physical force to make them do that Well you're liable to be arrested, aren't you? The government well of course they've got the the police which acts as the paramilitary wing of the government. Well they can use whatever force they deem necessary to make you comply with the wishes of the government. Now we all know it's two tier policing. You're not supposed to say it. The government doesn't like you saying it, which is exactly why we have to keep pointing it out. Because we do live under a two-tier system of policing. We've seen this for years, you know, for years. Now even even back about what would it be? What's been coming up on twenty years ago? In the same week, my mum got caught doing 34 mile an hour in the 30s on, ended up with a fine points on a licence. Same week, Polish lady went through a red light, ran my sister over, shattered her knee, and she got put on an advanced driving course, it's actually going to help her get, you know, cheaper insurance. Whereas, you know, my mum was uh fined and given points, which contribute towards taking a licence away. Now, a lady that goes through a red light and hits a pedestrian that receives no points, you know, I I don't know, e even at the time, I'm let say this is coming up on twenty years ago, even at the time, I remember thinking, you know, I I'm sure if it was my mum that had gone through a red light and hit somebody, she wouldn't have got off so lightly. You know, but it's this kind of it's this approach from the police, it it cheat it treats every outsider, every you know, special interest group with kid clubs, while the natives, just to, you know, straight up salt the decent people of the country, they get they get the riot out read to 'em for any tiny infraction. And I don't know if you've seen. There was a St. George's Day parade in London, uh, either last year or the year before. Small group of people, not many people, attended it, uh, because this country makes no no efforts to celebrate St. George, you know, the patron saint of this country, patriot saint of England. They make no acknowledgement of it. So most people don't even know when St George's Day is. But there was this tiny little parade, and they were boxed in by riot police, because you know, any time there's a a gathering of more than three or four people waving an England flag, you need to get the riot police involved. Compare that to the Kid Gloves treatment to the Palestine marches in London that have been going on ever since the attack on Israel a few years ago. They've been going on every single week, right, and what they do is they'll turn up and they'll put these diminutive little women out there, right? And they they don't really police them with the same vigilance and brutality as they do a simple St. George's parade. Now one of them is a political march, eh? The the Palestine action, it's all political. Whereas St. George's i it's just a celebration of our history, our culture, and our patron saint. But one of them is policed with riot police, and one of them gets kid treatment. You tell me. But that's that's an effect of the monopoly on violence that the state has. Yeah, but we're not even permitted to defend ourselves. Yeah, I mean I know when I was a kid, my neighbour, he he fell asleep on the sofa, and when he woke up, there was somebody in his house going through his drawers, burgling him, basically. So we give the burglar a punch in the face. Guess who got arrested? Yeah. Yeah, because castle doctrine doesn't apply in the UK. You know, the idea that somebody can just come into your home when you're asleep, right? Okay, granted, yeah, you should lock the door. But somebody does come into your house and they start going through your stuff and they start stealing your stuff, and it's a house where you've got your wife and kids upstairs, and you give them a punch in the face as a deterrent, don't ever come back here, and you're the one that gets arrested. Something very, very wrong with this country, and that was that's gotta be f at least 15 years ago, and this kind of thing still goes on, and it's a process that begins very, very early. I mean think back to your days at school, or now you ever punched a bully, you ever have somebody picking on you all the time. Eventually, you know, you you try I had this several times. You get people involved, you get the staff involved, and you say, look, I'm having an issue with this person making my life really, really difficult, and I don't know why. Can you do something about it? And they do nothing, and they keep doing nothing, they keep doing nothing, and it gets worse and worse and worse. And then one day, you snap and you fight back, and you punch the fuck out of them, and you get treated as if you're the problem, you're the aggressor. Never mind the fact that you've been using every peaceful means at your disposal for months to try and deal with this, you fight back, you're the problem, right? And that what that does is it it inculcates you with the idea that if I defend myself, I'm a bad person. Right, it gets you to this state where you're supposed to feel helpless and that you're not entitled to defend yourself and you just have to accept it. Right? That that's the kind of environment that the state fosters through the school system. You fight back against a bully, you're treated every much as bad as a bully themselves. I personally think when there's a knobhead kid, and let's be fair, they exist. We all know them, we've all met them, we've all seen them, all heard about them. And when it's a known issue, yeah, this kid is going around picking on other kids. Somebody gives him what's coming to him, I don't I don't see why there should be a consequence for that. But it's this kind of decadent relativism that the violence that you've inflicted, never mind the justification, or it is every bit as bad as what they've done. And it it really frustrated me at school, and it frustrates me now, because there are so many people that go out of their way to make your life hard, to bring you down, to take stuff from you, to to lower the quality of your life and tell you you're a bad person for protesting against that. And it's a process that starts in childhood in the schooling system, right, which has been for a long time now, has been one of the key parts of this monopoly that the government feels entitled to. Because I'm not I'm not just talking about monopoly on violence, you know, the the the state feels it has a monopoly on money, on information, on all kinds of different things. It's so full of it of hubris. It it genuinely the state, the government feels entitled to run your life. Now it it's like they've forgotten that actually they don't own this country, they don't rule this country, they are custodians, they are stewards. They're supposed to be a safe pair of vans to transition from this decade to that decade. Yeah, or every five years. They are stewards of this country, nothing more. But they feel they own the country, they feel entitled to make sweeping changes that drastically affect all of us, and we only have import one day every five years. Now this ties back in with the sort of uh the deification of democracy episode that I did. They hold democracy to be the highest form of governance and you know the the basically is it democracy is the deity of the state. But only for one day every five years. Now take current circumstances. You've got essentially the entire country and huge swathes of the Labour Party telling Keir Starmer to leave, to go. And he says, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. But that's the voice of the people. The people are telling him to leave. And he won't leave. Because democracy is only to be datified when it goes in their favour. Alright, so it's all about the people. Now it will keep banging on about I've got a mandate from the people. Well, those very same people now are telling you to leave. Okay, so they're not permitted, apparently, to change their minds on that. But things like digital ID, for example, they come around every few years. You know, we defeated it under Tony Blair 20 years ago. Starmer brings it back around. We categorically rejected it. Still keeps going anyway, because he thinks he can change our minds, but we're not allowed to change our own minds. You know, this again, I find it perverse. One day every five years, yeah, one day people voted for that man, and then he's screwed everybody over. I mean, there's hardly a group in the country that he hasn't screwed over at this point, and they're all telling him to go, and he will not go. Because the deification of democracy, right, it's not some kind of timeless law, it's essentially a postcard. You know, it's a postcard from that day in history when people said, Yeah, okay, Stalmer, we want you, mate. No, I never said that. I'd never vote for this prick. And a lot of people that did vote for him are regretting it, and are telling him to leave now, to go. Even calling for a general election because they're done with the Labour Party at large. But democracy doesn't work that way, does it? No, no, no, no. The voice of the people is only you know of interest. It only matters on the one day that the state decides that it does. So monopoly on violence, that's used to keep us in place, to keep us from rising up, and just for good measure, after one school shooting in the nineties, they took guns away from us, leaving us essentially defenceless. Okay, now small arms, if the government really came for you in force, small arms are not going to do much. But you've got a fighting chance. You've got something to defend yourselves with, but that's exactly what they don't want. They want you in a state where you cannot defend yourself, and therefore you are dependent on agents of the state, you are dependent on the police for your protection. Okay, but when the police have been ideologically captured and subverted, right, when most constituencies in this country didn't solve a single burglary last year, but we did manage to arrest more people than China and Russia combined for speech offences. There's a bit of a problem there, isn't it? But as I said, it's not just violence that the state feels it has a monopoly on. Okay, think about money. The state feels I think this is a particular perversion I think of leftist thinking, but they believe that every penny in the country, every pound in every citizen's bank account is really just on lease to them from the government. Okay, so they they feel entitled to every penny that you own. The state is envious of every pound it hasn't taken away from you yet. You know, this is why you can get a much tougher sentence for tax evasion than for rape, for example. I mean there there are people in prison now, in fact they've probably been released already. They're serving or have served a sentence for their participation in the grooming gangs, you know. Raping of children that have served less time than people that found some way of evading paying tax. Okay, you can actually get a life sentence in the UK for not paying tax. And that's far harsher than the punishments meted out to child rapists or you know well, rapists in general. I find that absolutely repulsive. And just for good measure, you know, in case we don't like the way that our tax is being taken and spent, if we're not happy with that, we used to be able to withhold the tax. You know, and I see a lot of people uh from other countries saying this is what we should do, just stop paying your taxes and they'll soon learn. Well, our taxes are taken from our paychecks before we even get them. Okay, so think about that. Think about the perversion of the fact. Because at the at the moment a lot of people are struggling with stagnant wages and ever increasing cost of living. So people are struggling with this stuff. Now think about it, if you've ever had to skip a meal, or you've had to whittle down what you're spending on your food shop, or you've had to debate, oh, should I put the heat in on or not? If you've had to do any of that, all right, and you're really struggling just to have the basic quality of life, you know, fed, clothed, sheltered, you might be struggling. Pay for just those things. And the state has taken two, three, four, five, six, but however many, hundreds and hundreds of pounds out of your paycheck before you even received it. So as the government's saying, I know you might need this money for food, but I need this money for welfare recipients. I need this money to send to some foreign country that doesn't give a fuck about you. I'm gonna take this away from you before you even put food on the table for your children. I'm gonna take my share. Which would be all well and good, yeah, if we had a transparent accounting of where that money's being spent, and if we knew that yeah, it's being put to good use in our community, our country, our infrastructure, our industries, whatever it might be. But we know that's not the case. They're so wasteful with the way that they spend it, but we have no recourse, we can't withhold tax from them. We can't withhold that payment. Okay, so tax paid to the government is essentially a payment for services rendered. Well, if they don't render those services, we now have no way of complaining about it. Because we have to work to live. And since we work, the tax gets taken before we even receive it. Th there's just something I find particularly perverse about that. Before anything, before your mortgage, before your bills, your food, anything, before you pay for your car, before you put fuel in it, the government takes its cut. And I find that disgusting because there are people living below the poverty line that would actually be okay if they didn't have that money taken away from them. And when the money is being put to perverse uses, okay, or when it's being spent elsewhere on the planet, or when it's being used to prop up things like net zero that nobody asked for, nobody voted for, and nobody can seemingly get away from at this point, yeah, that's disgusting to me. Don't know about you. I remember around sort of Christmas time, there were a few interviews that Starmer did when there when there were discussions going on about, you know, increasing the welfare bill and expanding who's open, you know, to receiving it, things like that. I remember an interview with Starmer saying that most people that are receiving benefits are working families, all right? But then also at the same time he was saying, I'm just asking working people to contribute a little bit more, you know, for the for the benefit of the people on benefits, on welfare. Well, I would suggest, Starmer, if most working families, or most people receiving benefits are working families, and you're also asking them to pay more in taxes, I would suggest the fact they need your help suggests that you're taking too much from them in the first place. In addition to pursuing policies like net zero, which have a catastrophic effect on energy bills, yeah. These things, that's why people don't have money, that's why they're working, yeah, but still finding themselves in need of government assistance. So, as always, with a left leading government, the answer is tax more, spend more, tax more from working people, give it to people that aren't working or that are working, but maybe not enough hours, or who are just struggling anyway, because our ruling classes have really fucked this country up to a point where it's no matter how much money you make, you're gonna have a similar standard of life. You know, you you may as well not go to work at all. This is why so many people are on benefits, because there's no actual benefit to them to get up and go to work. Okay? But now the government feels entitled to tell you you need to work harder and give up more of your paycheck to pay for these people because the government feels it knows how to spend your money better than you do. And with their track record of however many billions and trillions in debt we are now, and however much money they keep printing and borrowing and blowing and throwing over to the third world where it'll be swallowed up by some tribal leader, never s never seen again. That's that track record suggests, yeah, maybe these are not the best people to be handling our finances because it's not their money. It's everybody's money. And because it's everybody's money in their mind, it's nobody's money. So it doesn't matter if you waste it, yeah, what does it matter? Yeah, we'll just do another do another round of uh tax grabs. Yeah, we'll we'll make up the shortfall that way, we'll put business rates up. Never mind that we'll drive businesses out of the country and you know cause more unemployment and therefore a higher benefits bill. No no no, we'll just keep doing that. Keep putting taxes up, spending more, tax more, spend more. It's the only thing they're not to do. You know, and they they don't mind it because it means they don't have to do any real genuine politicking, yeah. Just drive taxes up. It's not just violence and money that the state wants a monopoly on. It's everything. It's information. That's a big one, a monopoly on information. Now we all know that the government has their paid state funded, government funded media arm, the BBC. Now they'll deny it, the BBC, they'll they'll claim not to be state funded media, but they are. We have to pay 'em, we have to fund them, under pain of potential imprisonment if we don't. Now the imprisonment comes about when a court orders you to pay and you defy it, you're then jailed for defying the court's order. Okay, but it amounts to the same thing. The government is saying if you don't pay this company, you can end up in prison. And the BBC is held up to be, yes, this is where you get trustworthy, authoritative news from. Factual information. Okay, now a couple of years ago you might remember, they started up BBC Verify. You remember that? Fact checking service. Well, I'm sorry, but er you know, if the BBC was as honest and and informative as it claimed to be, why does it need a second branch that is just fact checking? Well, BBC Verify was used like an attack dog. Just go in, you know, tip the fedora and go, well actually, this is the truth of it. And it's disgusting because they're some of the most shameless propagandists out there, the BBC. I've no time for 'em, and I'll never pay them a penny. I don't care. I urge any anybody listening, don't pay the BBC a penny. What are you doing? You've got no right to it. They're not entitled to your money. When all they do is make propaganda that hates you and tries to teach you to hate yourself and teaches other people to hate you, and people that arrive in the country teaches them to hate you. Why should you pay for that? Not a chance. So I I can't wait for the BBC clowns to come out of my house and uh ask me why I'm not paying 'em. Can't wait for that one. And you'll have the BBC. You know, they've over the years tarnished their own reputation. To a point now where lots and lots of people are deciding not to pay any attention to them whatsoever. And they're going elsewhere for news sources. So then the government comes out and they say things about, you know, y you need to trust where you're getting your information from, and they'll imply that anything that goes against their narrative is somehow funded by Moscow, it's doing the work of Putin. You know, this is what they'll do. They'll try and say it's Russian propaganda because it's not what the British government wants you to know. And they'll also try and say the the British government doesn't engage in propaganda whatsoever. But it does, and it does this through news services programming, a lot of soaps, you know, extenders on the BBC, yeah, you watch that, you'll find it aligns very, very closely with the things the government are aiming to condition society to become. Likewise with Channel 4, which a lot of people don't realise that the government has ownership in Channel 4, and has done for quite a long time, you know, which is why Channel 4 is always one of the most subversive channels there is. Pretty low quality programming, very subversive. And always seemed to do the bidding of the establishment. Imagine that. Even during the 2024 election campaign, they were running hit pieces on Farage. They were paying actors to go campaigning and you know, leafleting door to door for reform. And they got this guy, and he was in a car with two undercover journalists from Channel 4. And they caught him saying all kinds of racist things in this, you know, proper working class cockney accent. And people saw the video and they're like, oh, this is what reform really believes behind the scenes, you know, this is what the calibre of reform's candidates are. They're all racist, just like this guy. And people seen him and they thought, I know that guy. And they went and found out, they did a bit of digging, and he's an actor, he's a paid actor, with a very upper class accent actually, he's pretty well to do. Uh immediately when he was found, you know, all his social media was deleted, his LinkedIn, everything. You couldn't find this guy online anymore. So you had to be pretty early on that train to see it. I remember seeing screenshots of the website, yeah, where he's an actor. And that's exactly what they did. Channel 4, using money that's given to him by the government, go out, hire an actor, and a couple of undercover journalists to go down, join reform, and try and wreck their campaign. Right? This is what the government does, it has a monopoly on information. And this is also a process that starts very early because you go to school, you are taught what the government wants you to be taught. The school curriculum controlled by the government, and even if you homeschool your kids, they're constantly tightening up that loophole as well, to where you have to teach them the same stuff they'd be learning in a state school anyway. Okay, so you can't get away from teaching them the wokery, the leftism, their perverted view of history. I mean, I've always loved history, I find it fascinating, and there's a lot we can learn from it. And it it's always interesting when you talk to people that don't know history, that kind of think we're experiencing things for the first time. No no no no. This is just an echo of things that have happened before. But I remember things like when we did for example, in GCSE history, we did the interwar period in Germany. So 19 end of 1918 to just before the outbreak of the Second World War. And it's interesting that it it was the beginning point was the Treaty of Versailles, where it was put to us that France and Britain were so vengeful and so draconian in their their desire to punish Germany that we were the cause of the Second World War. Now there is there is an element of truth to that. It was an incredibly harsh treaty. You know, without understanding the balance of power in Europe through the nineteenth century into the twentieth century, it's very easy to come away with this really low resolution view of it. But effectively, you know, mid-19th century, you've got this brand new powerhouse country right in the middle of everybody, with the unification of Germany. So everybody around them treated up. You know, you had France on one side, Russia on the other. If Germany gets a bit too big for their boots and they start throwing the weight around, we're going to get involved. So long story short, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, all the countries fell like dominoes, you know, pulled over by the treaties that they'd signed to contain German power. And the Treaty of Versailles was effectively aimed at limiting German power. So it's it's quite a pragmatic move, really. Um but yeah, pretty draconian, pretty harsh, and uh especially for a proud country like Germany, with a long, storied military tradition, you know, through the Prussians and and and various groups that later unified to become Germany. That would have been tough to take, and it did foment the conditions for the Second World War, but it it's interesting. This is the starting point of where we're supposed to understand things from. So it's Britain's fault that World War II happened, you know, and indirectly it's Britain's fault that the Holocaust happened. You've got to lay these things at our feet, and then when they got to sort of closer up towards the World War II end of the interwar period, when there were already concentration camps up and running in Germany. Well, they had to point out, of course, that we also we actually invented, Britain invented the concentration camp. Never mind the fact that it was incredibly different in nature from the German ones, the famous Nazi camps. They just had to get it in there that it was actually us that that created them. And they do this to fix in your mind the image of you know Nazi Germany style concentration camps in Britain. We made them because we are evil. Or even things like British involvement in India. Yeah, we only we only learned about the bad things we did over there, we only learned about the Amritzar massacre, we only learned about how we're terrible, terrible, evil people. No mention of all the good things we did, no mention of defeating the Mughal Empire that was absolutely destroying the people in that that part of the world at that time, no mention of the massive increases in the standard of living, no mention of the atrocities that the Indians themselves were committing against each other that we put a stop to. Yeah, and some barbaric practices. No, no mention of that, nah. Only the bad stuff. We only get to hear the bad stuff. Yeah, when we learned about the crusades, what did we learn? Oh we learned, well, from this from basically from when the first crusade sent out, that's where we learned from. And we learned basically, yeah, all these horrible racist white Europeans, they didn't like these, you know, bunch of smally Asians going to the Holy Land, so they decided to, you know, kick off in a racist way and try and kill 'em all. No mention again of the frequent incursions into Europe made by the Muslim hordes at the time. No mention of that. No mention of them attacking and raping and robbing people in the Holy Land. None of that. You know, no justification whatsoever. It was effectively it's a very 2D low resolution view of the crusades. These Europeans were a bunch of racists that didn't want smelly brown people in the Holy Land, so they went on a crusade to try and kill as many as they could, end off. And when you grow up with this kind of thing, you know, same same deal with the slave trade. When you grow up with this kind of thinking, it leads to this kind of reluctance to be proud of your own country. Now never mind the fact that I firmly believe few countries, if any, have done as much good for the world as Britain. But you're not allowed to be proud of it. You're not allowed to acknowledge that. Instead you're expected to be in this perpetual state of shame and embarrassment and you know repentance to everybody else in the world. So all these atrocities that are going on now, all the people coming in and raping our women and children, all the people murdering us on public transport or out in the streets, that's karma. That's seen as vengeance and righteous. Yeah. Never mind the fact we never did that. In fact, most people living in Britain, even at the height of the British Empire, had no real involvement with it. You know, they weren't administrators there, they weren't soldiers stationed out there. Most people were cotton spinners. Yeah, or or steel workers. You know, they were they were building ships and trains and railways. They were doing all these things. They weren't out there oppressing people, raping people, murdering people. But now that these things are happening to us, two hundred years later, yeah, no no, we're not we're not supposed to be angry about it. We're supposed to just accept it, because it's karma. And this is the entire well you you factor in the monopoly on violence, you're not allowed to defend yourself. And the monopoly on information that teaches you to hate yourself, so when other people do come in a and commit these things against you, you're already conditioned not to retaliate, not to respond, not to fight back, not to defend yourself. It means you're very defeated, more likely to be compliant, more likely to be submissive and go along with whatever agenda our godforsaken overlords have in store for us. Because they do see themselves as our overlords, our owners. They don't see themselves as custodians of a great and beautiful country filled with fantastic people. Because make no mistake about it, I love British people. There's nobody quite like 'em on the planet. There's a few people that get close, you know, thinking about the Aussies. People like that, but every country has its own people, its own way of doing things, its own mannerisms and way of interacting with the world. And I love the British people. Alright. Now I'm in England. I live in England, I've spent most of my life in England. I love English people. But equally I love Scottish people and Welsh people, Northern Irish people. I'm getting there with the Irish too. So I actually had years and years and years where every Irish person I met was just a bell end. I I it did make me resent them and think, I just don't like these people. But uh, you know, that that's slowly changing over the years. I've met a few more good ones, and I understand their mentality a lot more, and seeing they're you know, they're in the very same struggle that we are for the preservation of our society and culture. And uh I wish them nothing but the best. You know, uh I love my Irish brothers, and I want Ireland for the Irish, I want Scotland for the Scottish, I want Wales for the Welsh, and I want England for the English. And what's wrong with that? I want Indian people to have India. Yeah, Spanish, they've got Spain, Moroccans, they've got Morocco. Each to their own, all in their own place. But apparently, according to the government, I'm I'm racist for believing that. I wouldn't say I don't want anybody to come here. But I do think that the criteria, the vetting process, should be incredibly strict. Only people that we actually need here. Okay, so we were never asked if we wanted these people here. We were just given so many different people. And we've been bombarded with the usual propaganda from the government that no no no, they're all doctors and engineers, they and they're coming over here to do the jobs that we don't want to do. And again, they leave out vital information, such as the fact that a lot of these jobs have had their wages significantly stifled by mass immigration, to a point where it's not a livable wage for somebody that wants to live, you know, with misses and kids, not a livable wage. Now, for somebody who's left their family behind in India and has come over here purely for the money, and is willing to live in a house with ten people, ten, you know, other single blokes from different parts of the world, and pay a pittance in rent and bills, yeah, it's fine for them, which is why they end up doing those jobs. Yeah, but that information that's never really discussed by anybody with any official capacity. You know, they just they just encourage you, hate yourself, and so you consider yourself inferior to everybody else. This is why for certainly as long as I've been alive, I I remember every politician, every prominent figure, every celebrity, every businessman, whatever it might be, anybody in any position of note, when they're asked, what are the best things about England? What are the best things about living in the UK? Oh the the diversity and the uh we we have the you know Leicester, my hometown, we have the biggest Diwali celebration anywhere in the world outside of India. And uh yeah, the the sheer array of different foods and and clothes and music that you can experience while you're here and it's this has been going on for decades. Anybody in any position of authority or any kind of status whatsoever, when they're asked, what do you like about this country, they'll say, Oh, the foreign bits, the bits that are not from this country. And if you absorb that message and you take it to heart, if that's drummed into you from a very, very young age, you can start to see why so many young people just despise this country and and are willing to completely betray it from the inside out to change it. And this is done by design. All of this is done by design. Hate your country. Yeah. Don't be proud of yourselves, don't think that your culture and your history is worth defending. And don't defend yourselves. Oh no, no, no, no. Don't if you defend yourself, you're as bad as the person that's attacking you. So don't defend yourself. Right, just be a good boy, go to work, pay your taxes, pay more taxes when we ask for them, and that's that. Right? And celebrate the diversity, celebrate the fact that you can get cuisines from every continent. Yeah, celebrate the fact that you can walk down the street and every business will have a different flag flying outside of it. Because the diverse parts of this country, they're the best parts. They're the only good parts, actually, they're the only thing that we will praise. When I think about even the country that I grew up in as a child, where you could go out and ride your bike, yeah. I remember being like what eight years old, out on my bike with my brother who's uh four, four or five at the time. And you never felt like you was in any particular danger. Your parents weren't anxious and worried that something bad's gonna happen to you twenty feet from home. Yeah. All all the good things that make a nice childhood. And they're gone now. They're gone. But if you listen to the government, well, we never had those things in the first place. They're just a sort of right-wing conspiracy theory pipe dream that never was. You know, they they have a monopoly on the past and the present and the future in their own imagination. And it's down to people like us to think a little bit differently about that. You know, this is why millions of people in this country now are not going to the government-approved sources for information. We're getting our news from elsewhere, from other people. You know, we're we're not being taught exactly what to think anymore. Because that's what the school system does. It tells you what to think. It doesn't teach you how to think, tells you what to think. And any deviation from that, no no no, beyond the pale. Because remember, the government has a monopoly on violence, money, information, and I'm sure there's a whole bunch of other things as well. But for now, I'm gonna leave it there. I'll catch up with you again soon. Aiming to get another episode up on Sunday, but we'll see how that goes. You might have noticed my schedule's not the best at the moment. Got a lot of things going on, but hopefully soon things will calm down a little bit, and I'll be able to get back to you with more regularity. So, until next time, people, thank you for listening. Share with people you think might benefit from it. Have a good day.
