Dalrymple over sentimentaliteit

[@modelmark]

Interesting thing is that you have some highly emotionalised people defending the welfare state and the word solidarity (equating theft usually), and they themselves have money to spare to help the needy, but don't. So essentially they fall under the characterisation of sentimentality by the person they attack.

[@VIEWITIS]

The good rich used to take charitable responsibility upon themselves and would provide something for the needy, but a lot of needy still lived in the dirt and abused each other in those time periods. I wonder if it was due to the absolute dearth of resources due to the limited economic development of the times, and if today such a society would be able to catch everyone before getting the wind knocked out of them after they fall off the economic ladder. Really the problem today seems to be shifting to an over-abundance scenario where those at the bottom have food and shelter but they just don't raise their kids well. That should be the focus of churches, charities, bureaucratic solidaritists, whoever! Someone love the damned kids!

[@baldwyntin608]

The members of the panel prove immediately his point about sentimentality.

[@ajs41]

They seem very impatient to me.

[@martingraziosi45]

Mr Daniels is a brave man. I live in a third worlg country, I am a baker, I know very well the kind that interviewed mr Daniels. ¡¡¡¡Hipocrits!!!!! Their reaccions reflects what they are when exposed.

[@dewiowen3010]

Dalrymple has decades of practical experience of working with criminals and the poor and the others around the table do not. It's easy to criticize.

[@vollmacuser]

This was a "struggle session", this is its name. Look for James Lindsay's videos explaining what a struggle session is and how to survive, how to beat it. Dalrymple was way too polite and refined for such a crude audience. One needs to bring a Douglas Murray to the fight.

[@vollmacuser]

The panel was set on cancelling and intimidating Dalrymple. This is why he was brought there, not to give him a chance to clarify his statements. This *nauseating sweet compassionate care for the less fortunate, but only as long as they don't come anywhere close*, this is their sentimental fingerprint. Dalrymple did help the less fortunate and he was close enough to them to know them. Any of the apparently compassionate activists would run for the hills if they would find themselves within ten meters of any abused woman or man. Wake them up in the middle of the night to interview the abused... Why would they do this when they can gang up in a TV studio against grandpa Dalrymple?

[@matthewtreacy6994]

The very fact that relative poverty still exists after generations of welfarism proves that it creates a permanent inherited dependency among a large proportion of the population.

[@hieronymuslarsson1388]

I'm disgusted by these cheap insinuations that Dalrymple is callous, merciless etc. A doctor! Show some f-ing respect...

[@satansgenitalia]

His profession doesn't preclude criticism of his opinions. He has experience in a particular field, but much of what he's saying is opinion, not fact. He is not immune to criticism. He also worked as a psychiatrist, a field of medicine primarily concerned with theories of mental illnesses, not biological bases and cures; so more scope for opinions.

[@ajs41]

Nothing to do with him being a doctor, it's do to with the fact that he's one of the best thinkers and writers alive today.

[@greghazard8035]

Anthony Daniels was not only a psychiatrist but a physician to his patients in the prison; he was their primary-care doctor, treating illness as well as trying to persuade his patients to modify their behavior. If you've read any of his works about psychiatry, you would be more informed before making a comment that is filled with fallacies. You clearly know nothing about this man or psychiatry.

[@satansgenitalia]

Oh sorry, you're right. Excuse me while I bow to our infallible, supreme leader. His patients who grew up with abuse and crime deserve to be judged by the same standards as anybody else. Dr Daniels' background had nothing to do with his success. He is our dear leader. Our dear sweet leader. Soz woz I comiding ad homineminems agen? Lulz. I listen to this guy occasionally for balance, not to suck up the man's arse.

[@ajs41]

Judging everyone by the same standards is actually the greatest honour you can bestow on people in my opinion. If you judge someone by lower standards, you're treating them like a lesser person. So I personally think you've got things the wrong way round. I know a lot of people think it's a good thing to judge certain people by lower standards, but I can't see how that makes sense without patronising them.

[@MrThomasdichmont]

that interviewer is being cynical, implying that Dalrymple benefited from the assassinations.

[@ruizhang2452]

Or lack of sense of humor to understand Dalrymple's joke.

These people in Belgium are so defensive of their social welfare, and seem to be ready to fight anyone who dares to say it is not good to live on it. Now I see why Brexit happened 🤔

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

Dalrymple brings them the message that the welfare system is being milked. They don't seem to want to hear this. Bring more milk.

[@VIEWITIS]

And send the excess milk from the overmilking of European cows down to Africa as "aid" where it will undercut African dairy farmers and destroy local economic development.

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

[@feka2188]

Who are these people? They pick an extreme case and suddenly due to that extremity (which represents very small in number) the state has to step in because... heartlessness... especially the woman... she finishes with a totally hysterical note like "these are important... we have to think about it" a fine description of sentimentality by Dalrymple from the beginning...

[@Lytton333]

Re: the dutch chap disagreeing with Dalrymple.. I don't see how people sitting idle at home or wandering around in bored frustration is going to bring enriching 'originality ' to proceedings and prevent homogeneity.. The abuse of the welfare state brings nothing but a homogeneity of lifestyle

[@plekkchand]

rather rude and careless interlocutors.

[@CosmicD]

can't really sympathize with women who let herself beat up by a guy whom she KNOWS is violent, even worse, they seem somewhat attracted to that because he has a pursuasive gaze and she feels nothing but physical attraction to that sort of guys because they literally conquer her. She should use some cognitive awareness, the same awareness that she uses when she designates timid guys as "creeps". Instead she just uses her judge of character wrong. Because that "creep" might be a sweetheart.

[@PaulsLady1]

Its called lust for such type a guys 😄

[@feka2188]

Well, Darlymple said: "either she has no free agency, and then she has to suffer the consequences of her free choices, and then can't be called a victim, or she is victim w/o free agency...", but then the Q is who took away her free agency, especially if she has kid(s) (reproductive free agency?) or she could leave a guy before (free movement agency?) and chose the guy in the first place (free choice agency)... not choosing something is a choice.

[@ajs41]

One of the best examples of British sentimentalism: most British people care more about their pets than they do about other people they don't know, ie. people who aren't their friends and family. If they saw their pet dog lying in the street injured, and at the same time a person they didn't know lying in the street injured, they would go to their dog first. Pets are important in my opinion, but people are more important.

[@ThomAnno]

Very sad when interviewers have no tact manners to let the guests finish his point.

The woman on the panel is so judgmental and not listening.

[@BramClaes]

Rik Torfs is his name, he is Belgian btw. I think you are making the same logical fallacy as the one Rik Torfs tried to point out here. You are focussing solely on the abuses of the system, and on the underclass, and then you assume that this accurately represents the whole welfare state, while in fact, it is just a fraction of it.

[@satansgenitalia]

a tiny fraction of it.

[@peterplotts1238]

Their position is - you are a heartless bastard who wants to hurt the poor if you don't agree with us. To paraphrase another commenter - it's not compassion if it's compelled. It's the redistribution of wealth from the productive to the non-productive. It's institutionalized injustice, which if sustained undermines the entire society.
