@woodsmoke I’m not his biggest fan, but he has enough decent takes to have a listen now and again.

His biggest problem in my eyes is ultimately something he is powerless to change (to an extent). He is diagnosable as having the CivNat milquetoast post-war consensus, an inheritance most Gen X men took on. He still occupies the space in which we can vote our way out of the myriad declines solely from the centrist world view.

As an example, he is at the moment trying to figure out how to reinvigorate his home of Swindon, both economically and demographically. I’ve yet to see any ideas, but I wouldn’t be surprised when he comes out with things like investing in the high streets and giving the youth things to do. He isn’t of the mind to reach for radical options, or to think beyond the failing infrastructure he has inherited.

Now that all sounds very harsh, and I do him a disservice. He remains a subversive voice to the globalist world view, introducing and discussing plenty of angles in which globalist policy and agendas can be countered and challenged. The expectation for me is that the audience develops their own thinking by interacting with him, and further their understanding of the cultural malaise and solutions they think could work.

He’s good for breaking out of the box, but he’s rooted to a country that existed 40 years ago, and even then, wasn’t all that.
