Putin, Islamism and the Case for Monoculturalism | Konstantin Kisin

In this interview, John sits down with Konstantin Kisin to discuss a variety of topics, from the war in Ukraine to multiculturalism and the gradual decline of the West, as well as what it's like to grow up on a farm.
Raised in the Soviet Union, Konstantin is not persuaded by leftist visions of utopia, and exhorts reasonable people to speak out against the 'woke mob'. He also argues that multiculturalism should be rebranded as multi-ethnic societies with a 'monoculture', uniting everyone from different backgrounds.
Konstantin Kisin is a writer, social commentator, comedian, and co-host of the free speech podcast Triggernometry. He is a regular on British and American TV and radio shows including Question Time, Good Morning Britain, BBC Breakfast, Daily Politics, LBC Cross Question, Tucker Carlson, the Megyn Kelly Show, and many others.
Konstantin has written for publications including the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator, Tablet Magazine, Quillette, and Standpoint as well as his first book, An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West. More recently, he spoke at the inaugural Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference in London, England.

Times have changed. A migrant taxi driver recently made the comment “Australi takes anybody that wants to come” As know heaps of people that have had their applications knocked back I put the taxi driver right on that point (very politely of course) .

Around 30 minute mark Konstantin remarks that boomers hold some responsibility for the way things are. I’m 35 and I completely disagree with that I grew up in a fibro farm house on a farm, tiny house. My old man worked three jobs to provide, he built concrete water tanks, farmed, was in the process of opening a small business and washed old men at the nursing home in town of an evening. We ate rabbit we shot, veggies grown and red meat grown on the farm. Never went on holidays. My mother stayed at home. They worked and worked and worked. They own three houses now including the farm in which I grew up - which they renovated into something nice. They’ve retired and comfortable. Keep in mind the interest rates they contended with also. This rubbish about boomers being to blame - the difference is; boomers on average were prepared to make bigger sacrifices including their own comfort to get ahead. My generation is discomfort averse. Of what values and principles does my generation uphold? Of what sacrifices is my generation prepared to make?? Far less.

You don’t need to be a millionaire to think food or goods in Russia are cheaper. They are cheaper to a foreigner. I went to Russia to visit in early 2000’s and my mom brought with her 2,000 US dollars and we lived like kings back then. My mom bought 3 television sets for her family as a thank you for hosting us and they were foreign made TVs which lasted them over 10 years afterwards. We shopped at the best grocery stores. We went to McDonald’s on the daily and we brought my grandparents with us to eat there and as we are leaving outside there was a group of students trying to count their money to see how much they had so they can share something at McDonald’s, when they saw my grandparents they said out loud “when are senior citizens go to McDonald’s”. That was an eye opener because in Canada and in US McDonald’s is one of the cheapest places to eat especially for high school and college students. For an average Russian the prices are expensive and they buy only necessities and they don’t really spoil themselves. I talk to my cousin now and he says yeah groceries are expensive, what they bought before with the same money, they can’t buy now. He lives in Moscow and making an average wage. So yes for foreigners it’s cheap. Right now $1 US dollar is 90 rubles.

[@andrewbaldwin4454]

Thank you Lena. Yes, Konstantin's remark was just silly. Tucker was talking about how prices looked to him as an American tourist. We all know that Russians have lower real incomes than Americans and that's part of the reason that the prices can be that cheap. But he talks about how food expenditures are a bigger share of a Russian's income than of an American's like it was some brilliant insight on his part.

[@tanyam5471]

I live not in Moscow and prices became higher but it's not like I can only buy bread and milk. Supermarkets are full of people buying a lot of things from basic products to delicacies.

The real war is a spiritual one. One between believers and unbelievers in the Catholic/Orthodox faith and its rightful place in understanding the soul of mankind individually and collectively. Without that understanding, there is no solution in sight to man's ancient war for power.

Increasingly we are in an inverted world and only God can save us. Unfortunately we currently have an antipope and arch bishop of Canterbury isn't Christian either.

Interestingly, the latter part of this discussion is on multiculturalism, which is another way of framing how migrant should assimilate or integrate into a HOST society. Where this culture is old with its history FIRMLY in place, it obviously feels that it should remain the first point of reference, which is why the UK and France are having so many problems now. If a host society, like Australia, is less historically or culturally defined (despite it having maintained its British cultural-colonial superiority well past independence}, multiculturalism is seen as being less socially divisive, despite past flashpoints. So, I see the issue of multiculturalism as being relative to how well or not a HOST culture accepts being forced to change its defining fundamentals because of the influx of migrants/refugees. It also bring up the complex issue what to do with immigration changing demography. All worthy of thinking and talking about..

The Japanese model should be the default for all nations.

I cannot understand 'the default' of japan. Can you explain.? Sencerly yours.

[@TTFN55]

First, firmly establish your language. Immigrants immigrate. Migrants migrate to one country and, after a certain amount of time, migrate elsewhere. If the Left is going to use language as a cudgel conservatives should arm themselves with better ideas founded in proper use of the language and adherence to the law.

@@user-gk1cs3ik5s - And keep the Netherlands Dutch! One of my most pleasant memories is waking up in Amsterdam to the warm and delicious odors of Dutch baked goods and fabulous dairy products. I've tried to convey that experience to my husband numerous times over the years but he didn't 'hear' me until our family doctor here in Clearwater, Fla. enthusiastically picked up on the theme and built on it. NOW, he endorses my desire to go back or, at the very least, visit Dutch outposts in the Caribbean!

Excellent conversation/interview. Full marks to John Anderson for asking interesting questions and to the always incisive KK who, like Douglas Murray has the intellectual credibility and the platform to articulate what many of us cannot.

Corporate global companies , making record profit ,not paying their share of taxes 🤔

[@reekinronald6776]

Please. "making record profits" is meaningless. A company could be producing exactly the same true value of goods each year and still make "record profits" each year. It's called inflation. The absolute monetary value increases, but it's buying power stays the same. If a company doesn't make record profits every year or every few years, that company is heading for bankruptcy.

You can inflation-adjust the numbers and see for yourself. But then, that would not be helpful toward your narrative.

[@glennmitchell9107]

Group tensions in western societies are significant because groups can use government to obtain advantage. If the scope and size of government were smaller, the stakes in controlling government would be less. There would be less to fight over and people could return to improving their own individual and family situations without worrying so much about which group is controlling government resources.
