We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day – This is Britain. So think before you think.

P.S. Before sharing this article with your friends and family, please be aware that the Government’s Prevent anti-radicalisation programme has recently declared that concern about mass immigration is “terrorist ideology”. A Prevent training course hosted on the Government’s website lists “cultural nationalism” as something that could cause you to be referred for deradicalisation.

Prevent, you’ll remember, is the programme to which the Southport murderer Axel Rudakubana was repeatedly referred from as young as 13. He went on to stab a number of children and adults, 3 of whom died.

Usman Khan, the terrorist who committed the London Bridge attack in 2019, was under Prevent monitoring when he carried out his attack in the middle of a prisoner rehabilitation event for which he had travelled to London. Prevent officers tasked with monitoring him had “no specific training” in dealing with terrorists.

According to the Prevent training guidance, if you believe that “Western culture is under threat from mass migration and a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups” you will be referred to the very programme which failed to deal with them.

This is Britain. So think before you think.

    Western culture is primarily not under threat from migrants who bring the sands of their fathers with them and belong to a Dark Age deathcult founded by an “immoral Bedouin”* but by suicide. I have read screeds on decolonizing mathematics! Frankly, I couldn’t care less about the Farts and Shitterature or the Antisocial “Sciences” but mathematics! That is a hill to kill on. Not to die on (I’m with General Patton on this).

    My country and my culture have been beacons of light since, well, the enlightenment. We won and now we are ashamed of that. That is the most disgraceful decadence.

    People were put in prison for suggesting, in Facebook posts, that the murderer of the three girls in Southport was a follower of Islam and someone who was a supporter of a terrorist groups – the murderer claims to be a follower of Islam and downloaded Al Qaeda manuals hoping to make chemical and biological weapons. However, the claim that he was himself an asylum seeker (a claim that originated in Pakistan) was false.

    As for “Prevent” it is saturated in the same philosophy (or world view) as the rest of the British establishment. The British establishment sees the “racist and Islamophobic right” as the great enemy – and it defines anyone who does not share its world view as part of this “racist and Islamophobic right” which must be destroyed – by any means necessary. This is bound up with its view of the Second World War – which the British establishment believes was a great crusade against “racism” (this was NOT what the war about – but the present British establishment thinks it was) and its thinking has not moved on from this (false) view of events from 1939 to 1945 – seeing anyone “on the right” as Adolf Hitler.

    Even the desire to reduce taxes or reduce the power of the Civil Service and independent agencies (“Quangos”) is seen, by the British establishment, as “Nazi” (they do not know this stands for “National Socialist” – i.e. a supporter of the National Socialist German Workers Party), and such “Nazis”, the British establishment believes, must be destroyed – by any means necessary. They make no real distinction between Nick Griffin (the head of the BNP – the British National Party), and the Classical Liberal ex Prime Minister Liz Truss – to the British establishment (including conservative seeming people who are filled with snobbery against people with the “wrong” accents or who went to the “wrong” schools) both are “Nazis” – who must be destroyed, by any means necessary.

    If there is any hope for this nation – it is hard to see it.

    I know some upper class people who think that Elon Musk is a “Nazi” – and these same establishment socialists look down on people for such crimes as wearing the wrong shoes.

    A mixture of Collectivist politics (and wildly misunderstanding opponents of their politics) and intense snobbery.
