Konstantin Kisin | Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Liberalism's Demise. Are We Under Siege?

Find part 1 here; • Konstantin Kisin | Wha...
The free and open societies of the West are under threat - not from a foreign invader, but from illiberalism within. The retreat to offence-free safe spaces, the censorship from cancel culture, the ignorance of echo chambers, and the toxicity of identity politics are all symptoms of a siege on liberalism. Young people, in particular, hold increasingly illiberal views.
Konstantin Kisin is a British-Russian political commentator and comedian who co-hosts the TRIGGERnometry @triggerpod podcast. He is author of An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West. Last year, he addressed the Oxford Union with a speech on Woke Culture, and recently spoke at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London. Konstantin represents a new genre of public intellectual: he is virtually ignored by the mainstream media, yet he is overwhelmingly popular on various social media platforms. His podcast, TRIGGERnometry, has almost 850,000 subscribers and he is a considerable presence on X.
Glenn Fahey is director of education at the Centre for Independent Studies, where his research covers all areas of education policy and practice. Glenn is a regular writer on education for the Australian Financial Review and commentator across all major news media. Prior to joining CIS, Glenn has held research and policy positions at the Centre for Education Research and Innovation (OECD), Institute for Public Policy and Governance (UTS), and Australian Treasury.

That KK is now seen as at the forefront of modern thought is absolutely terrifying

    The interviewer is wrong in stating that immigration has created in Australia the most successful "multicultural society" in the world. Konstantin straightens him out by speaking of "multiethnic" (as oppised to "multicultural") society as the past success of countries like Australia, the UK, and the United States. If mass illegal multicultural immigration is allowed to persist without insistence on the immigrants' adoption of the cultural values of the existing society's ideals of cultural assimilation, those countries will be subjected to societal chaos and destruction. That is happening in the US and UK before our very eyes.

    I like and respect KK, but I think he’s wrong about a multiethnic society. Ethnicity includes race and religion. Both these factors stop a multiethnic societies succeeding. In the UK the two groups that cause the most trouble are black people and the muswims (I can spell just to stop this post being taken down). One group is violent and refuses to integrate because of its race and culture the other is violent and refuses to integrate because of its race and religion. For a multiethnic society to succeed the ethnic mix needs to be same race and same basic religion. Because when people look the same, speak the same language, share a similar religion then they assimilate to the host culture whilst still retaining complimentary elements of their own culture. They intermarry more often and thus become a contributing member of the host society. I sometimes wish humans were better able to mix but the disaster caused by multiculturalism in my country over the past 60 years has proven otherwise. So it’s about time the liberal left was finally forced to admit they screwed up and then we can change the law and deport the problems and import the solutions while having more indigenous British babies so in 25 years we’ve got our safe prosperous country back under our control for our children to enjoy. Going to take courage to get there though.💪

    Teach your kids and younger people in your families to think for themselves, to think critically, to be comfortable about asking questions, not just with others but also of themselves and being openly honest with their retorts. People can shame me for my opinions, that's fine, but the biggest shame for me would be lying to appease others _feelings_ and delusions and to myself, there's no real progress in that.

    hahahahaha! exACTly! Most politicking in the me-centric society is not a serious claim about the world; or about morality; or about one's country. It is an affectation: a piece of self-curation. (In the U.S., at least, this knife cuts right, as well as left. Elsewhere, mostly just left.) In situations you describe, quoting the anarchist Bakunin - but mockingly - might be a good stratagem: "He who makes plans for after the revolution is a reactionary." You're thereby making it plain to your interlocutors that they are merely playing a childish vanity game.

    The problem is the media lie and ruin their credibility with everyone and then people make the incorrect (but understandable) deduction that everything they say is the opposite. However if you have watched Trump for decades like some you would see that while their individual stories are often exaggerated or false, the overall impression is correct. Even Konstantin has fallen into this trap.

I brought up my children in the same way. I am worried that if we continue on this nonsense path, women will have to go back to home and be locked in there.

    While I appreciate Konstantin's analogy of 'spousal abuse', it is only a part-truth. Another part is that Australian businesses that were making profits abandoned Australia because they could make bigger profits elsewhere, and whole regions - the La Trobe Valley, for example - were largely ruined as governments sold of public assets, and the communities' livelihoods with them, for quick savings. Much more could be said, but the point is that the 'spouse' was ready to cheat and abandon the home at the first opportunity. 'Proudly designed in Australia' , but made where labour is cheapest. does not encourage patriotism amongst the jobless.

    We many apathetic beneficiaries of Western Civilization should aspire to the ideal of progress and societal improvement through critical introspection and constructive action, but as Konstantin presciently articulates, the Woke Left has engaged us in self loathing and national suicide. If we in the "silent majority" fail to push back, we will all be subjected to civilizational chaos and a reversion to a stone age quagmire ruled by the worst of subhuman motivations. Konstantin's voice of reason is the flickering candle of warning in an anarchist whirlwind. Heed him, or live in the future darkness!

    Multiculturalism has demonstrably been a failure here and everywhere it has been permitted when allowed without constraints. Immigration by European Christians like the Greeks and Italians following WWII worked well. Although they were from another country, they were not from an alien culture. They believed in the same God and did not seek to replace Australian culture and laws with theirs. So they integrated, while maintaining subtle cultural differences that increased societal diversity. Those days are long gone. Now Australia has sewn the seeds of its own inevitable destruction through the pretence that all cultures are equal and useful to our liberal capitalist democracy. They demonstrably are not. Some cultures are isolationist, corrosive, divisive and sometimes malevolent. Several major European countries now realise this to their loss and regret. Meanwhile, our governments shy away from acknowledging the truth, seeking to leverage it to their political advantage.

    Postmodernist tenets- 1) a general critique of Western institutions and knowledge. A critique of liberalism. (Kuznar 2008:78). 2) a focus upon power relations and hegemony, (often rebranded as “structuralism”, “post structuralism” etc.) 3) an argument against scientific method and evaluation (fundamentally anti- Enlightenment) 4) a critique of “metanarratives”(counter-storytelling. All history, literature, religion is wrong/biased) 5) a questioning of reality and representation (there is no truth, it's all fake news), 6) the application of literary analysis to all “phenomena”, (words and images as weapons, qualitative analysis over quantitative. Such as votes) 7) an elevation of text and language as the fundamental phenomena of existence (social media and print as the battleground)
