Here's a short thread
The book is by Ian Froggart, another white British man who has immigrated to New Zealand to increase our number of bigots per capita. He has self published his "politically incorrect essays" Lee compares the book favourable to that of Douglas Murray. Who is Murray you ask?
Murray is the author of the book "The Strange Death of Europe" which claims that Europe is being destroyed by Muslim immigration and relatively high birth rates. It's a more moderate version of Camus' "The Great Replacement" and is a far-right favourite

New video essay is all set to premiere on Monday evening. Tonight I've been highlighting and annotating the notes from one of the books I read for the research, in preparation for writing the script for part 2. Today's news has reminded me of the importance of this work
This series looks at the connections between the Bosnian genocide and the Christchurch shooting, how the former inspired the perpetrator of the latter, and how our lack of remembrance of the events of Bosnia in the 1990's means a growing anti-Muslim sentiment has been ignored
Historians some times amend the cliche "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it" with "those who do know history are doomed to watch in horror while others repeat it"
