You have finally come to the South's position. Replace the word democrat with yankee. And realize the original meaning of the term comes from "to pull something out of someone's hands and away in a covetous aggressive fashion" and that it fits every democrat. Democrat=Yankee. Same thing.
I have started saying "everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" with Democrats and Leftists. And many of them like it. They ask where that comes from...
The only thing Jan6 that surprised me was how much security congress thinks they need, and that it is possible for a citizen to trespass on this land they own.
You can trespass on land you own if you act in unlawful violation of agreed tenancy contracts. Your landlord picking your lock is still just a burglar. If January 6th was in fact, a riot, the lawful tenants would have every right to defend against the landowners. It was not. That's why they lie about it.

The keystone of the Fascist doctrine is its conception of the State, of its essence, its functions, and its aims. For Fascism the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative.
@@AmirDarkOne so all I have to do is become the state? Hmmmm you will now refer to me by my perfered pronouns of State/Big Brother. MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I like how you ended it. If the state is what is sacred then George III was divinely appointed. Therefore our ancestors in the 1770s committed an horrible atrocity by rebellion against their divinely appointed sovereign and king.
This is a very very interesting point - the moment you assume some form of divine right to rule by any god or ideology, you open yourself to the charge that you are in fact violating the divine right of the previous (or upcoming) leadership. The Party is a big deal, but what if it’s the wrong party? The entire point of a ruling group is stability and relying on religion as an atheistic state is stupidity even if it makes the sheep happy… because states are run by wolves, not sheep.
The puppets in government, as well as criminals who used to be in government speak of our Constitutional Republic as a democracy on purpose. They do not serve “we the people.” They serve their bankster/corporate/great reset masters. Keep ‘speaking Out against the madness.’
The left will see to it that we hear about how "awful" this "attack on our democracy" was for decades. I cannot fathom how anyone on the left can believe what they do about the hyperbolic dramatization of that day.
I'm praying for victory in November, and I'm super curious how the left would react to that, considering their election rhetoric is saying "If Trump wins we loose the democracy".
The brainwashing by the media has become so strong that no one has to die to create a narrative shift. They created a narrative shift from fat old boomers having a mall walk with a larper wearing a beaver hat.
@@otm646 No. Selfish, gullible people are selfish and gullible. That's never going to change, so it's pointless to say "Hey, people are selfish and gullible!". The point of Sargon's video is to go back to first principles and argue that even if we take Democrats' words at face value, their words are fundamentally un-American. In contrast, the (implied) point of my comment is that Democrats' words should not be taken at face value, and in fact it's relatively easy to demonstrate their insincerity and hypocrisy. Both arguments can be effective, just with different audiences. Sargon's argument should appeal to classical liberals who still believe in first principles but haven't really thought about how modern Democrats have abandoned or betrayed those principles. In contrast, my argument should appeal to people who are already skeptical of politicians and government but are forced, out of sheer pragmatism, to choose between the two major parties. I hope I've cleared it up for you.
0:36 Yeah to (admittedly) steal a joke from Razorfist, "The only crime committed on January 6th was the FBI not being given a Tony award for best choreography."
Always find it funny how when it comes to Jan 6th, Conservatives carry the same kind of "mostly peaceful protest" energy about it as Democrats carry about BLM riots.
This is the same sacred capitol in which all sorts of grift and backdoor deals are struck. This is the same sacred capitol where forever wars are started and perpetuated.
Some bloke wears an Indian head dress and meanders through the building, on a day it was meant to be closed. The most dangerous threat to Washington since Lee and Stonewall mustered their armies.
This was one of the things that struck me right away after the dreaded milling about - all these people I'd known for years, who had things like "smash the state" tattoos and pieces of flair, were suddenly shilling for the "sacred halls of government." Really exposed their hypocrisy all in one NPC software update.
Of course, and who can really tell if they don't just sing that song out of cowardice. The situation doesn't require for all of them to really agree with this, the simple thought that their brazenly advertised, rebellious nature at a time when it became obvious that the regime has marshalled the legal power to prosecute you over thought crimes is often enough for cowards to... Well, cower.
Yes. They do. They see themselves as untouchable and divine. The disdain they have for regular people, especially the ones that dare not vote for them, is palpable.
Never forget that on January 6th, 2017, mostly-black protestors armed with rifles stormed the Capitol, flooded Pelosi's office, and bellowed their race-based anger regarding Trump's election. They exchanged gunfire with police and only due to their incompetence did no-one die, considering they also opened fire on emergency services when ambulances arrived to help the wounded. To the best of my knowledge, no-one was arrested for this armed assault on the Capitol. But unarmed mostly-white protestors who toured the Capitol and meant to make their grievances heard politely are treated as terrorists and held without charges for years in solitary confinement and sensory-deprivation torture.
Never heard of it. Though I would not be surprised if the Mockingbird actually shut up for once, and did their best to memory hole it. That, and my memory is trash in the first place.
That’s what I grew up being told. It’s the People’s house. It’s the People’s buildings. That’s why all the museums in DC are free to the public. They belong to us.
Ashli stopped a guy that was breaking a window with his helmet. This was after she was pleading with guards to stop him. She turned the guy around an punched him in the face. She then moved towards the broken window, where(another video showed) a guard that had his gun on the door the entire time, who did not fire upon the guy that was breaking the window, then shot Ashli through the neck. In the video you hear a man in the crowd shouting that he is a medic and that he can help, and building staff will not let him help her.
@@bryan81584Not sure if i agree with this interpretation, but it's absolutely wise to do so. Easier to protect the entry point by being on the inside of it.
The most armed populace in the world stages an insurrection without firearms? Also, the capital is only sacred when Establishment is in control or taking control. Apparently, it wasn't sacred may 29th, 2020, odd how that works.
Carl, I’ve really been missing these videos of yours. I think your insight is truly on point, but more importantly it’s something that isn’t seen nor talked about in todays politics.I wish you and you family well. I hope you keep making these videos 😊
Really interesting how you pulled everything together in the end. As an American I never thought of these things quite this way. Leave it to an Englishman to iterate what I could sense but couldn’t explain. The Democrats have indeed become foreigners.
Indeed. It might just be projection though. Accuse your opponent of doing what you yourself are doing. They louder you shout, they more they have to worry about defending themselves from false accusations and the less energy they have to see what you’re doing.
The only problem with this is that Britain is bankrupt. They have nothing left. Nothing. So stop lying to yourself about their insight having ANY value to us as Americans.
Indeed i never expected such a well defined argument against the current affairs of things. No new argument needed to be presented: just connecting the old ones with basic logic, and it's evident that the current US gov ernment is illegitimate.
Thank you so much for this one. It’s a shame that so many of my fellow Americans don’t understand this stuff about their own country. But, there are still plenty of us that do. That’s why the talk of “insurrection” and “sacred ground” rings hollow with most of us.
Ha! My first vote was Ross Perot. I was always a rebel. My favorite was Jack Daniels. It used to be very easy to get on the ballot in my state so we’d have around 10 people running for President. Good ole Jack was there a couple years so he was my go to because everyone else sucked.
I am not religious, but i went to a Catholic school which included bible study. I always remembered Acts 7:48 "Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands". Acts 17:24 “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. a building has no power, the power is in the people
The very use of words such as "sacred" imbues a religiousity and zealotry to the idea of the State's legitimacy. And now in such linguistic displays one begins to see the mentality of "leaders" is still rooted in the psychopathy of being "ordained by god" as if a flawed, fragment of the Creator of our universe, Knows the intentions and thoughts of that which is the only progression, Wr-Alda; that which came before all and is All. The arrogance of self-appointed political "leaders" is truly astounding and is demonstrative of the psychopathy of the "political class." They demand the sovereign soul to bend knee to their violence and delusion, attempting to legitimize their psychopathy as being some-how "rational."
I'm truly glad you are doing solo stuff again. When you have time and space, you explore and explain complicated issues well. I feel that you are not well served in a crowd. Good man.
A beautiful statement Sargon and a fantastic achievement that you have swayed so many talented broadcasters to your side from such diverse backgrounds. James Lindsay’s rudeness and arrogance towards you says so much more about him unfortunately
@@exquisitedoomlapointe185same. This things don't happen because the state is powerful but because we don't have control over it. Like someone else said in a comment thread above: this is like blaming guns because they can be used against you; having no state is not really what people want. The current missing ingredient is true nationalism.
Its funneh before 9/11 I actually took a high school trip to Washington DC. My buddy and I actually got lost in the basement of the capitol for a little while there was so much freedom to just walk around no matter what. Because of course according to the Constitution. Any government building is open to the people. But that's before America became dictatorial
I remember that day like it was yesterday, and I remember being annoyed those rioters didn't go nearly far enough for the narrative that was forming around them in real time.
I'm liking the nostalgia that comes wìth a return to this format. Didnt think it was possible to miss a bronze head that took the piss out of the looney tunes.
Great to see you making this content again. Your videos were the red pill that brought me from the dark side of progressivism al those years back. Thank you for insights and an opportunity to grow up intellectualy in your wake.
There's a rather sinister inversion going on in America, where a protest which admittedly got out of hand was painted as a full on insurrection, and race riots that tore apart cities were labelled as peaceful protests. It's almost impossible not to notice the political brush that was used to paint both occasions, and the political benefit that is derived from doing so.
The guards could easily have prevented them from entering the buiding if they so wished but they didn't they willing allowed them to walk in and give them a tour of the building
Im kinda sad I wont be able to visit the capitol ever again. Not because they wont let tourists in again. But because the entire tour id be saying "hey look guys! Im insurrecting the capitol! Look at me! Im an insurrectionist!"and Id get kicked out.
The scariest part is V for Vendetta, the mockingjay books and movies, 1984, and all the deep state movies of the late 80s and 90s didnt warn people, instead it informed them of the boot they were willing to live under. Its like dogs fighting over a pile of vomit.
Excellent. Terrific observations and historical under pinning. I greatly appreciate you and your work. The inability of so many of my fellow Americans to discern this frightens me.
One thing I noticed about those quotes you read out was how it sounds as if they were spoken by men who understood that they lived in a rational governship, but longed for it to be more divine than it truly was.
The issue with this arguement is that democracy was not an intended feature of the American project. Jefferson was an aristocrat in all but title who intended a republic in the roman tradition governed by agrarian landowners. The People are the burgher-agrarian class "who can handle the schythe, the sword and the pen", and in the American context did not mean in practice the actual mass of the commoners until the 1820s onwards with the downfall of the Federalist Party.
I disagree. He was a genius that used everything he saw as a way to see all of them in a new way. His love of Sally, a slave, which was dangerous at that time, proved he went his own way.
@@AndThereYouGo Of course Jefferson had his own failings, but what I say generally speaking goes for the entire cadre of american revoltionaries. You really should read Alexis de Toquevilles "Democracy in America", and read up on the European volunteers fighting for the American cause. They were all aristocrats of one type or another, because libertas is first and foremost an aristocratic ideal.
Yes and no. Democracy was definitely a feature of the American project, but it was always viewed with suspicion brought on by an understanding of history, and thus was meant to be extremely limited. They were fundamentally trying to find a balance point that could replicate the House of Commons/House of Lords dichotomy in the UK because this seemed to work rather well to the founders (and was what they were used to) but without having to actually create Lords in the traditional sense. You're definitely correct though that the expansion of suffrage (and thus, Democracy) was something that grew over time. Largely as a method by which new parties seeking to gain power in the Federal government could gain new votes to get in. This ever present method of power accumulation (increase the number of people who can vote for you because at the outset it will grant you power) is and has always been the primary corrupting influence of the democratic process itself. From Ancient Greece to Ancient Rome onwards, and is obviously viewable today as Democrats seek to allow even non-citizens suffrage in order to increase their vote share.
@@peteschaub7561 Yes, but the issue with that is that neither the founders nor the constitution can claim any divine authority, and therefore the reality is that it ultimately does not matter what the "founders" intended. A constitution without God's Word (Dogma) is entirely useless at maintaining any kind of principle.
"What they really believe" vs. "what they think they should say to stay in the character". If in a Catholic church (a building) there is the real presence of Christ on the altar - in the Capitol there is just the godless, materialistic nothing. It would be more honest, if they just put some gold ingots on a marble pedestal, but gold is too true for them...
Its important to recognize that not only was the american government not sacred in its creation, it was explicitly NOT so. Jefferson's original draft of the declaration stated that "we hold these rights to be sacred and undeniable" and the rights explicity mentioned were "life, liberty, and property" "Sacred and undeniable" was replaced with "self-evident" specifically BECAUSE the founders viewed the american project as a purely rational and secular one, and that holding the state in the realm of god essentially removed any right to question or refuse it and instead Jefferson placed the more etheral "pursuit of happiness" in favor of property because the sacred aspect of the american founding was in the individual acting in accordance with nature and, as jefferson called Him, nature's god
No. Wrong Jefferson wasn't the only one present. There was some writing by committee here and the secular language was the lowest common denominator. The degree to which historical revisionists want to secularize the founding fathers is smooth brained and tragic.
@aliasjones6381 I'm aware he wasn't the only drafter. I just credit him in the original comment because getting into the minutia of exactly who wanted what can miss the forest for the trees. But jefferson's first draft DID contain those phrases and the committee changed them to better suit the common ideal of the congress, which at that point had kinda become "f the quakers they're getting in the way of this" which is another large part of why they secularized the writing. Like everything else there was plenty of political maneuvering at work
@@cmd31220 A'ight, that's a fair take then. It was writing by committee, and compromises were made. Time also changed the Founding Father's perspective. I forget who it was that discovered the Islamic barbary pirates and found that not all religions were created equal, but he changed his mind in a hurry once he read the Koran.
Portraying political buildings as “sacred” is one of the most un-American things I can think of. It is completely antithetical to the very concept of this nation and why it was formed. It is *the people* who are sacred, NOT the politicians & government apparatus.
It's why a rich yank bailed out President Jefferson Davis instead of putting him on trial for treason over secession, because according to the Constitution he was in the right.

Been saying this for years. We have two types of people in this country, Americans and Democrats.

Yes, and I’ve been saying how the Democrat party should just go ahead and change their name to like the Globalist Party.
Yep, Americans and the political "summer of love" terrorists.
You've fallen into the trap. Globalists will use anyone to achieve their goals. If you are one party you will become a pawn.
You have finally come to the South's position. Replace the word democrat with yankee. And realize the original meaning of the term comes from "to pull something out of someone's hands and away in a covetous aggressive fashion" and that it fits every democrat. Democrat=Yankee. Same thing.

I like how you ended it. If the state is what is sacred then George III was divinely appointed. Therefore our ancestors in the 1770s committed an horrible atrocity by rebellion against their divinely appointed sovereign and king.
This is a very very interesting point - the moment you assume some form of divine right to rule by any god or ideology, you open yourself to the charge that you are in fact violating the divine right of the previous (or upcoming) leadership. The Party is a big deal, but what if it’s the wrong party? The entire point of a ruling group is stability and relying on religion as an atheistic state is stupidity even if it makes the sheep happy… because states are run by wolves, not sheep.

The point of Sargon's video is to go back to first principles and argue that even if we take Democrats' words at face value, their words are fundamentally un-American.
In contrast, the (implied) point of my comment is that Democrats' words should not be taken at face value, and in fact it's relatively easy to demonstrate their insincerity and hypocrisy.
Both arguments can be effective, just with different audiences.
Sargon's argument should appeal to classical liberals who still believe in first principles but haven't really thought about how modern Democrats have abandoned or betrayed those principles.
In contrast, my argument should appeal to people who are already skeptical of politicians and government but are forced, out of sheer pragmatism, to choose between the two major parties.
I hope I've cleared it up for you.

Never forget that on January 6th, 2017, mostly-black protestors armed with rifles stormed the Capitol, flooded Pelosi's office, and bellowed their race-based anger regarding Trump's election. They exchanged gunfire with police and only due to their incompetence did no-one die, considering they also opened fire on emergency services when ambulances arrived to help the wounded. To the best of my knowledge, no-one was arrested for this armed assault on the Capitol.
But unarmed mostly-white protestors who toured the Capitol and meant to make their grievances heard politely are treated as terrorists and held without charges for years in solitary confinement and sensory-deprivation torture.

They don’t get to decide what we hold as sacred. Don’t buy into their crap for a moment.
The very use of words such as "sacred" imbues a religiousity and zealotry to the idea of the State's legitimacy.
And now in such linguistic displays one begins to see the mentality of "leaders" is still rooted in the psychopathy of being "ordained by god" as if a flawed, fragment of the Creator of our universe, Knows the intentions and thoughts of that which is the only progression, Wr-Alda; that which came before all and is All.
The arrogance of self-appointed political "leaders" is truly astounding and is demonstrative of the psychopathy of the "political class." They demand the sovereign soul to bend knee to their violence and delusion, attempting to legitimize their psychopathy as being some-how "rational."

There's a rather sinister inversion going on in America, where a protest which admittedly got out of hand was painted as a full on insurrection, and race riots that tore apart cities were labelled as peaceful protests.
It's almost impossible not to notice the political brush that was used to paint both occasions, and the political benefit that is derived from doing so.
The guards could easily have prevented them from entering the buiding if they so wished but they didn't they willing allowed them to walk in and give them a tour of the building

Glad you are back to making videos here. LE is nice but I like these vids even more.
Deomcrats: "this is a holy sacred place.."
Also Democrats: "filming their debauchery in the holy sacred place"
They think of debauchery as form of holy love and self expression.
One thing I noticed about those quotes you read out was how it sounds as if they were spoken by men who understood that they lived in a rational governship, but longed for it to be more divine than it truly was.
The issue with this arguement is that democracy was not an intended feature of the American project. Jefferson was an aristocrat in all but title who intended a republic in the roman tradition governed by agrarian landowners. The People are the burgher-agrarian class "who can handle the schythe, the sword and the pen", and in the American context did not mean in practice the actual mass of the commoners until the 1820s onwards with the downfall of the Federalist Party.
I disagree. He was a genius that used everything he saw as a way to see all of them in a new way. His love of Sally, a slave, which was dangerous at that time, proved he went his own way.
@@AndThereYouGo Of course Jefferson had his own failings, but what I say generally speaking goes for the entire cadre of american revoltionaries. You really should read Alexis de Toquevilles "Democracy in America", and read up on the European volunteers fighting for the American cause. They were all aristocrats of one type or another, because libertas is first and foremost an aristocratic ideal.
Yes and no. Democracy was definitely a feature of the American project, but it was always viewed with suspicion brought on by an understanding of history, and thus was meant to be extremely limited. They were fundamentally trying to find a balance point that could replicate the House of Commons/House of Lords dichotomy in the UK because this seemed to work rather well to the founders (and was what they were used to) but without having to actually create Lords in the traditional sense.
You're definitely correct though that the expansion of suffrage (and thus, Democracy) was something that grew over time. Largely as a method by which new parties seeking to gain power in the Federal government could gain new votes to get in. This ever present method of power accumulation (increase the number of people who can vote for you because at the outset it will grant you power) is and has always been the primary corrupting influence of the democratic process itself. From Ancient Greece to Ancient Rome onwards, and is obviously viewable today as Democrats seek to allow even non-citizens suffrage in order to increase their vote share.
Agreed. The founders would have laughed at the notion of universal suffrage.
@@peteschaub7561 Yes, but the issue with that is that neither the founders nor the constitution can claim any divine authority, and therefore the reality is that it ultimately does not matter what the "founders" intended. A constitution without God's Word (Dogma) is entirely useless at maintaining any kind of principle.

House of Sin
Excellent framing of the foundations, why the root idea matters and where it originated. Clarity is everything.
Its important to recognize that not only was the american government not sacred in its creation, it was explicitly NOT so. Jefferson's original draft of the declaration stated that "we hold these rights to be sacred and undeniable" and the rights explicity mentioned were "life, liberty, and property"
"Sacred and undeniable" was replaced with "self-evident" specifically BECAUSE the founders viewed the american project as a purely rational and secular one, and that holding the state in the realm of god essentially removed any right to question or refuse it and instead Jefferson placed the more etheral "pursuit of happiness" in favor of property because the sacred aspect of the american founding was in the individual acting in accordance with nature and, as jefferson called Him, nature's god
No. Wrong Jefferson wasn't the only one present. There was some writing by committee here and the secular language was the lowest common denominator. The degree to which historical revisionists want to secularize the founding fathers is smooth brained and tragic.
@aliasjones6381 I'm aware he wasn't the only drafter. I just credit him in the original comment because getting into the minutia of exactly who wanted what can miss the forest for the trees.
But jefferson's first draft DID contain those phrases and the committee changed them to better suit the common ideal of the congress, which at that point had kinda become "f the quakers they're getting in the way of this" which is another large part of why they secularized the writing. Like everything else there was plenty of political maneuvering at work
@@cmd31220 A'ight, that's a fair take then. It was writing by committee, and compromises were made.
Time also changed the Founding Father's perspective. I forget who it was that discovered the Islamic barbary pirates and found that not all religions were created equal, but he changed his mind in a hurry once he read the Koran.
