Brilliant analysis.

Thanks for everything you do Morgoth.

Hope someone will take apart another gatekeeper with no solutions, Douglas Murray in a similar video.

Best wishes.

I'd be far less polite to Murray. And it'd also take me to places too spicy for YouTube.

Could you make a more open video for Substack? Nothing that would get you in trouble, but talk about Murray?

I could but really he’s just a client of Zion, there’s not much to sink the teeth into.

I do think a new populism is underway to recapture the right for Israel and this will be a trend to observe as we go on.

Is that even new? Buckleyite conservatism, neocons, counter-jihadis ... It's been going on for a while.

I think they over censored in the post 2016 era. Their own shills were taken out with the Alt-Right, and so when the Gaza slaughter began their usual cohort on social media and the streets were in the wilderness.

One example would be Tommy Robinson being reinstated on Twitter a week or two after the operation and immediately organizing a retard rally.

They came out of the woodwork hard, didn't they? Like a switch got flipped.

Imagine having to wade through all that smarm to research a piece on Murray. I imagine it would be like writing a Guardian hate reading. I just can picture the man immersing himself into the sewage now (from the intro).

I saw Murray going on about how, if tens of millions of European Christians were to die, this would be no big deal really, but if tens of millions of our greatest allies were to die, that would be the end of Western civilization, because we are nothing without them.

He's a poltroon and a lickspittle.

The whole Spiked/Spectator shebang should be brought under scrutiny and torn a new one.

Hitchens is an establishment figure aiming to live out his dotage in comfort. Here is a man who openly wrote about not wanting to take the jab but doing so because he wanted to travel, that 'they had won'. At least his brother had some bottle.

I didn´t know that about Hitchens. I find it pathetic, TBH.

I've just come away from listening to a recent Hitchens interview. It struck me with a new plainness how he just does not see, and in that he falls short of a crucial threshold. That threshold is conspiracy theory, which is also practically the defacto threshold of the "far-right" now, moreso even than any recognised ideology, and only those who breach it can now talk with substance. It's a strange circumstance when the sharp, solid mind of somebody like Hitchens offers less light and heat than somebody like Sam Hyde. All those now who remain either invested in or identified with the conventional story are incapable of developing thought to a purposeful point. The stakes have been made all too clear, and few are willing to burst the bubble they live within by establishing any point. It was a good point well made in your video. I am as black-pilled as they come as regards the future of the political country- you might even say of the nation- but our efforts must all somehow serve the part of the people which will make it through.

The day of pillow is fast approaching. There's plenty of institutions (e.g. churches, scouts, allotment committee etc. ) with open vacancies.

We're in the Winter now (as Hitchens says) but Spring is on the horizon (Hitchens won't say). The white Africans farmers in Zim & SA aren't giving up - why should WE!

Thanks for this video. One thing which annoyed me during the “zero seats” campaign was that no one in the online right properly confronted the Hitchens argument head on. You’ve finally done it incisively.

Hitchens is easy to ridicule, because he has a parodic public persona. So his opponents mostly just fall back on that, rather than answering the substantial points he’s making. Whenever he appears on Times Radio or some other such channel, the first 100 comments from leftists will simply say that he’s not as talented as his brother, and he’s obviously scarred by the realisation of his inadequacy. All 100 seem to think their copy-pasted comments are original, and demonstrate their own unique Oscar Wilde level wit.

I’m just some anonymous BTL commenter on the internet. I have no belief in my own importance. But I did try to engage people on the comment threads of AA, to try and get them to formulate proper replies to Hitchens, Starkey and the pseudonymous “J Sorel” at the Daily Sceptic. Their arguments have a lot of truth, and deserved a more thoughtful response than a copy-pasted “Vote Reform” with a thumbs up emoji.

It seems the Hitchens argument was just effective enough to give us (and him) the worst of both worlds. It shored up the Conservative vote just enough to stop Reform taking over the Right, but not enough to inhibit the incoming Starmer “New Britain Constitution” which he rightly dreads.

I’m pretty black-pilled at the moment. The only good thing is, a Labour government gives us a much clearer target to attack.

I really think this is getting to the nub of, not only how our problems are manifesting, but how this political landscape has been very deliberately constructed to remove our agency. Whilst it very much feels the case that without institutions (be they brick and mortar or registered organisations) we're not represented and we have no voice, I'd argue that we absolutely do have a voice. And, what's more, 'they' are absolutely shit scared of it because we haven't needed such institutions for that voice to remain steadfast.

They're relentless and they'll keep putting the likes of Starmer, Sunak, Johnson, Biden, Trudeau, Soros, Gates, the EU, the WEF, the UN, etc. in our way (whilst flooding us with savages) and yet the true spirit of the natives of these shores remains.

One important point I'd like to pick you up on, you said that we don't have "by law" institutions that speak in our name. That's correct but I suspect you meant 'legally' as, I think the point you were making is, they have legal representation and gravitas from their institutions. Under (God's, natural, common) law we're all equal and therefore their institutions count for nothing which is exactly why our voice remains so strong no matter what they do.

Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate

(Abandon all hope ye who enters here)

Hitchens is no Virgil, and he won't guide us out of the pit, that much's for certain. Especially now.

An excellent and thought- provoking piece as usual Morgoth. Personally I have always had my suspicions of Hitchens. I wonder if his propensity for demoralisation and to see people as 'the masses' stems ftom being an ex trotsky. This coupled with his main stream media position means he will always be on the other side of the fence to the people, who as you point out, must come first before the institutions.

By the way, you are not always doom and gloom. Your article on the photographer, fir instance, is a beautiful piece. Full of seldom articulated insights that reveal things not always considered at first glance. I'd love to read more of those if you ever find the time.

I think people sometimes misconstrue my sardonic humour for despair haha.

Brilliant, one of your best pieces.

I spent years trying to locate the centre of what I care about in the West, what must survive all else; inevitably, it comes down to the race, a biospirit that cannot exist apart from a specific race/ethnic group. I'm a bit surprised that anyone can know English history and place so much weight on institutions - the one thing which survives all else is the people. Look at Israel - they resurrected Hebrew and made it a living language; if they can do that then we can rebuild a great deal, provided the English people still exist as a biological group.

HR replacing the Church, that's a zinger.

Institutions can be rebuilt, if the people are still there… but it’s impossible until liberal kakistocracy is dismantled (or crashes and burns).

I think conservatives just want the institutions to be run by liberals, since they are themselves classical liberals after all. They are unwilling to accept that liberals destroy everything they infest. It’s like wishing to live on cake and sweets and not expect to get fat and sick. Probably another facet of the wishful thinking virus that has taken over the West.

I came to this part of the so called dissident right from where I still am, an ex labour voting working class North Londoner now exiled in Essex.

The institutions you speak of were never for my class of people, we were subject to them and we always felt on the outside.

The bit that has changed is the the demography.

Hitchens is too supercilious, too snobby and enjoys a nice little earner being in the polite half of society. It's a line he will never cross.

Fuck him.

Amen.

I could not agree more with this analysis. The institutions are no more than a costume. They have been taken from us; we are naked, humiliated, our shame exposed to the sight of all, our flesh exposed to the elements.

But we are not dead yet.

And the voice that counsels despair and whispers of sweet oblivion?

That voice belongs to a demon.

We the people are still here, even if the institutions no longer are. Brilliant.
