I left the Uk 10 years ago. I am literally at the grindstone of this issue. Myself and other expat friends left the Uk because it just wasn’t worth living there anymore. Crime was a major factor. I had suffered multiple crimes and the police were just useless. We have gaslit ourselves into thinking crime is normal when it is not. Add to that wages are low, and nothing works, and it is no secret why nobody wants to go back. I was in Cardiff visiting family recently and the streets were filled with homeless people doing drugs and drinking out in the open. Police were nowhere to be seen. I was shocked by how bad it had fallen. I love the Uk and wish I could live there, but aside from it’s my home and I have family there, there is nothing for me to return to. And until we change this, which I have no confidence we will, the brain drain will continue. There is not one government party I feel has any idea or power to fix it.

Fascinating to hear Kisin talk about the present-day "brain drain" from the UK. Sixty years ago, growing up in New Jersey, we had a British couple as next-door neighbors.

@vegas1854Ай бұрын
I assume it's not called "Brain Drain" when corporations from the UK move manufacturing to other countries for cheaper labor and much less restrictive labor laws soley to effect the bottom line. Is there a name for that in the UK? I assume that type of bottom line decision making for big corporations is a bad thing in Kisin's viewpoint or is he only concerned when the corporations have to pay taxes? I'm not seeing much consistency is this man's viewpoint. Also, there's never been a more economically favorable environment for starting a business in the United States since Joe Biden became president. The post-covid incentives here in the states for starting a business are facilitating the booming economy. So when Kisin says when Trump gets in office and allows people to "start businessess" I had to laugh out loud. He says he's been to "the real America" and rattles off some cities, but apparently no one in those cities told him that small business start up is not only encouraged, but subsidized by the American Tax Payer and has been for decades. No wonder he thinks Trump is good for America. He's basing it on misguided perceptions on an inaccurate nature.

There is no energy, will, motivation or ambition to do anything spectacular. I'm Hungarian. The last time we collectively achieved something noteworthy was rebelling against the communists in 1956. It was crushed and by 1957 everyone pretended nothing happened. Same goes for any other European nation, with a few exceptions. The West is dead and WW1 killed it. Everything since then has been the twitchings of a dying body, nothing more.

Kisin has got this one backward: what gives people meaning and hope isn't a job, it's the creation and flourishing of their families. A job is just a means to that end - certainly extremely important - but the bottom line is and will forever be family. People don't love their jobs anywhere near as much as their family. Edit: To everyone taking exception to this, you are arguing around the point. And maybe it seemed like I was severely downplaying the importance of work, which wasn't my intention. To clarify, in the hierarchy of things that bring meaning and purpose, creating and fostering a family is at the apex for the vast majority, well above one's job.

It's not just a means to an end at all. It's literally what a lot of people live for. It brings accomplishment. It brings a sense of fulfillment. It's not even about the money, although that's important to survive. It's learning a trade, mastering it, and using it to provide a service to other people. The act of going through that journey is paramount to finding purpose for many of us.

Allow me to explain why culture Marxism is on the decline here in the states (even though I would not say that it's gone completely) Why USA will hopefully defeat this ideology lies into the founding fathers' way of setting the country. We have the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, which make sure that the First Amendment is upheld. Allow me to give you an example. See, im a naturalized American( originally from southern europe). I've been here for over half of my life as of now. And what I have realized is that even though im with Trump, some Trump supporters would not consider me as an American. And guess what, that is perfectly fine by me. Not only that, but I would go so far to fight to protect their right to hate on me. And I understand for many Western europeans this makes no sense how can someone be cool with other hating on him, that is because of the absolute freedom of speech that we enjoy in America. (I would like to point out that most legal emigrants voted for trump). Now we know our enemy, while they are on retreat, we know that is the Universities where the infection is spreading, and soon we shall fight it there( i mean in the sense of ideas) Secondly, we also know that the Marxists weaponized women against the country( that will be n uphill battle), but because of freedom of speech, we shall prevail(at least i hope so). As for Europe, I dont know what to tell you, at least southern and eastern europe hopefully stay strong.

This new govt is no bloody better. I had to get a reverse mortgage on my home when I was fired from my 40 year nursing career for refusing a crap jab. "Managed decline" struck a chord for me. I never took an interest in politics til the last 5 years when it started infringing on my freedom. Last year I travelled to the uk to nurse my brother til his death in August. The cost of living is better there than here in NZ. I have had just about all hope kicked out of me .....Not really important for me. I'm 70 so I won't be around for much longer. I hang on to a fragment of hope for my grandsons. Trump getting into power gives me a tiny tad of hope.

10:02 The British Army unit ordered to “stand to the last man” to defend the outskirts of Dunkirk, near Calais, during the evacuation in 1940 was the 2nd Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment. The battalion was part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and was tasked with holding a key defensive position at a place called Le Paradis. Alongside other units, they played a critical role in delaying the German advance, allowing thousands of Allied troops to retreat to Dunkirk for evacuation. Tragically, after holding out as long as they could, the surviving soldiers of the 2nd Battalion were captured. Many of them were later victims of the Le Paradis Massacre, where 97 men were executed by the SS. This action, alongside other sacrifices by British and French forces, significantly contributed to the success of the Dunkirk evacuation, codenamed Operation Dynamo. Lots of Norfolk boys were killed. 10:02

Chris (like Konstantin, at times) has quite a narrow view on Britain and the British. He tends to make generalisations that are not without some validity, but can be far too sweeping and categorical. Compared with other similarly sized countries, Britain is generally a very friendly place. Although people like to take the piss out of the weather, the main reason it comes up frequently is because its so changeable. Many Brits actually enjoy the fresh, temperate climate (although the north could definitely do with longer summers). What's definitely affected the mood across much of the country is the rate of demographic change. Its impossible not to notice. Immigration is out of control. Any protestation, however mild, is deemed 'far right' or 'racist' in mainstream liberal society. Aside from the obvious clashing of cultures, there a just too many people. Too many cars. Inadequate infrastructure. Limited space (and Labour have their eyes on our beautiful countryside). I dont know if it's too late. Britain still has a lot going for it, but it's hard to see where the solution is going to come from at this point. Who's going to come in and remigrate (deport) 3 or 4 million people and change the narrative about 'Evil Britain'? Farage, for all his faults, might do a bit of the latter, but not much more. Bit of a ramble. But the point is, people are generally friendly. Chris may hate (north eastern) British weather, but it's not the same thing in all parts of the country and even in the north it isn't the huge issue that is suggested at times.

@cashmere8535Great post mate and I'm in full agreement. Even back in the 1990's I used to say Britain would be perfect if we had half as many people and twice as much sunshine. Boy would I love for us to go back to what it was like in the 90's even though I complained about it then . The British people aren't yet defeated but the population is very demoralised as we are attacked and what we hold dear ( the countryside for example) is being attacked by the ideologists who run the country and institutions.

I am a lot older than Konstantin and I can certainly confirm the them politicians knew they were public servants and the majority went onto politics sincerely wanting to bring about positive changes within their communities. Similarly most had integrity and knew their history. Alas, today we have career politicians who are predominantly from the liberal elite and have no idea about ordinary life for ordinary folk, it’s more about what’s in it for them. Also these same people lack character, lack integrity and most definitely lack courage. After all look at the grooming gangs and how there has been a cover up, and how all these elite have stuck together to keep the narrative in check . Truly shameful and they are not grooming gangs they are rape gangs . However, with Trump about to take office with the great A team there is hope for our once great country 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

That last bit at the very end is actually a really interesting part of computer history: In the 70s & 80s, the center for U.S. tech innovation could have been Cambridge MA, or "silicon valley" in CA. The philosophy of "It's ok if you copy what I'm doing and build something even better with it, because I'm going to do that with whatever you make" was prevalent in CA, whereas the culture in Cambridge was "If you use my IP, I'll sue you". This is the real reason why CA had such dominance in tech: That culture fosters extremely rapid innovation.

There are two types of thinking: inspired and burdened. The inspired one is oriented towards a positive vision. The burdened one fights the obstacles. Hence we have to change our thinking: Fight FOR instead of Fight AGAINST. Turn your face towards the light if you want to get away from darkness... The issue is that we have less and less great narratives that are worth fighting FOR. If there is no inspiration, no utopia to drive us, where do we go? If inspiration is missing, politics still has to deliver something... enter the FIGHT AGAINST practice... The only problem with this is that if you want to fight a problem, you need to define it, investigate it, figure out it's inner logic... But in the same manner you could establish a positive vision to guide you and spend time on defining the good, and not the bad... Doing good (even if you do it flawed) is always better, than being an expert in defining the bad... SO: never fight AGAINST something, always fight FOR something resembling a higher calling...

5:03 the counter to this point is that although the ad that said “Kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you” was a successful and effective ad, Trump’s message has always been “Make America Great Again.” That message IS a positive picture about what you want. The Democratic Party in this election based their entire campaign on painting a negative picture about what they don’t want. Which I agree, is a much leas powerful message to convey.

Several key units played a pivotal role in holding the line during the Battle of Dunkirk (1940) to allow the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Allied troops. These units held defensive positions against overwhelming German forces, often at great cost. British Units: The British Expeditionary Force (BEF): 2nd Division: Particularly the 4th Infantry Brigade and the 5th Infantry Brigade were critical in defending the perimeter around Dunkirk. 50th (Northumbrian) Division: Engaged in heavy fighting, especially near the Ypres-Comines Canal. 1st Infantry Division: Played a key role in defensive actions around the Dunkirk perimeter. Royal Engineers: They destroyed bridges and created obstacles to slow the German advance. Rear Guard Units: Units from the 12th and 23rd Divisions acted as rear guards and were often isolated but provided critical delays. French Units: The French First Army and other French divisions bore significant responsibility for the southern and eastern sectors of the Dunkirk perimeter. These units included: 12th Motorized Infantry Division: Fought fiercely in Lille, holding off German forces for several days. 68th Infantry Division: Helped cover the withdrawal routes to Dunkirk. 137th Infantry Regiment: Notable for their stubborn resistance. Specific Actions: Battle of Lille: About 40,000 French troops, primarily from the French First Army, held the city of Lille from May 28 to June 1, 1940. This act of defiance tied down several German divisions and delayed their advance toward Dunkirk. Defense of the Dunkirk Perimeter: Mixed British and French forces maintained defensive positions, engaging German panzers and infantry to protect evacuation efforts. These brave soldiers faced overwhelming odds, and many were killed or taken prisoner, but their sacrifice allowed approximately 338,000 Allied troops to be evacuated during Operation Dynamo between May 26 and June 4, 1940.

As a man who lives in Middlesbrough but commutes to Newcastle for the better paying job, I agree with Chris about the anger but disagree with Konstantin about the solution. My take is that energy costs are the third worst problem here. Well paying jobs are the second worst problem, and the expensive (compared to the wages here) yet terrible housing is the worst problem. It makes the low paying jobs here even more miserable, as 40% wages go to rent and 10% on energy. Getting rid of net zero legislation is not going to significantly improve jobs or housing in the north east. Coal mining and steel production will never come back as the expertise died with our grandfathers. Interestingly, it's the video games industry which is making the most promising investment into Middlesbrough at the moment. I would suggest that investment from industry in the form of new housing and technical jobs that men can feel proud of is what is needed here in the north east. Party's like reform do not offer an optimistic future, but instead seek to find blame. When everyone is better off here, that xenophobia will go away.

The 500 year view of why most of my peers are so angry. For thousands of years they lived free on the land, then a couple hundred years ago the farmers were told, "come into the city to get rich! Sell your farms!" and many were tricked into giant factory estates and lost their freedom. Those who survived that were later told, "No more taxes in labour or produce, you must go into the city to make cash to pay taxes." and so they had to sell their land and go into the cities. Now everyone is poor, we all remember our great grandparents and grandparents having their own houses, and parents working their whole lives struggling to retain a house. Soon they lose theirs too, and now the family has worked very hard to make wealth, but all that works comes to nothing, and now we don't even have our farm. We're forced to rely on the government which stole our land for our basic survival, with no realistic route offered to be freed from this trap. And it has since then been another couple of generations down this road.
