Yeah I can watch lotus eaters occasionally but the zoomer conservatives do have a habit of going full tradcuck on various issues and it gets really cringe. People thing when I rant about boomers I'm necessarily bitching about old people but oh no there are some millennials and zoomers who go off about peoples' lifestyles as well like it's the spawn of satan too.
It's this thing of I try I do try to be reasonable and understand the other side of the argument where it's "Okay, I get you don't like video game culture that's fine, but why are you now acting like it's only degenerates that enjoy the hobby and automatically equating it with porn and you see tradcons trying to pull that shit even here.
Meanwhile Sargon and Callum are totally chill which, to be fair it wouldn't be much of a podcast if it was just people filled with all the same opinions but they do get unbearably cringe sometimes depending on what they're talking about.
I've been watching everyone from the beginning, and here's what I've seen:
Carl's Dadism has a major effect. Having kids and living in the UK is a major concern. His fucking 12 year old daughter tried to tell him she was bisexual FFS, and he lives 2 steps away from a horde of illegals that have subjugated the local hotel. He's on full-scale "Protect" mode.
Connor is entirely fighting with the media and back-end politics, and is a rampaging catholic, who's watching the Anglican Church trying to canonize George Floyd, and defile churches with Pride Sermons; all while watching the Conservatives, the media, and the church, kill the country with whatever weapon is available. He also lives in London and has to dodge stabbings on 2 hour trip to work at the office each day, while the Hindu-Paki Race Riots continue.
Harry's decided to go almost full "Evola Said Nothing Wrong" because the UK Libertarians are effectively Koch Brothers Corporatists who think that Libertarianism exists to protect the rights of real people: corporate citizens; and not disgusting plebs. All while the actual Libertarians look soft on crime, considering how out-of-control it is (along with the 9,000 girls a year who are raped by Muslim grooming gangs) in a country that literally allows pedophiles to apologize and not be arrested.
Dan's like a lot of very smart people I know: they see the cracks in the system, and start putting together shit that doesn't make any sense because they don't trust anything. Which is why he's moved to his whole: the moon landing was faked position.
Callum is just full-black-pill "fuck it, I'm going to have fun while the country dies" mentality. Which, at least makes him fun. Good memes.
Beau, believe it or not, is probably the most openly reactionary; but doesn't really speak to it much. I think he's even more in favor of the Bloody Code than Carl is. He just straight up wants to execute parliament. Like, all of them.
Stelios & Josh actually have the strongest heads on their shoulders; both mostly from their very analytical backgrounds.
lol I didn't know this extra background but none of that surprises me and yeah Callum does come across as black pilled, that's kind of like me. I know my country is dead and there's no will by the public despite their bitching to do anything about it. What's going to happen is they're just going to vote Labour again. Nobody different because 'conservatives are bad and they wrecked the country with Brexit'. The voters are completely full of shit, they'll vote labour and demand nationalisation of the energy companies and that's likely going to be a trigger for me leaving. Early days yet admittedly, but I have yet to see evidence that has shown me otherwise, the anti-right wing anything brainwashing runs extremely deep.
I didn't really pay too much attention to their names admittedly because what I saw were a bunch of cringey neo-con and tradcon types I'd never heard of popping up to replace Carl while he took care of his kids ( Fair enough for him by the way ) but at the same time I just couldn't stand watching it as much anymore. I of course particularly take against people who blame video games for anything because by and large there's fuck all evidence to support it and they're just scapegoating somebody's hobby much like how back in the day they would blame heavy metal and rap music for the world's ills.
That shit can all fuck off, I get that Carl is trying to expand and bring on more viewpoints but at the same time I feel like they should be challenged on it rather than being allowed to go on a tedious monologue every episode and think that everybody agrees with them. The reason being is because this is how you get the leftist bubble popping up and why the media is so bad, it's fucking easy to spew off your opinions to a camera and then waltz off. This was one of Carl's strengths even if I didn't agree with him he at least had the balls to defend himself.
The best example I can think of with all of this is a bit like with GBNews, where you had that twat of a journalist kneeling for BLM and trying to justify it on television and eventually the prick got fired because everyone was sick of it. However equally to blame were the other staff there who just sat there like lemons and didn't even try to debate him and let him spew off his SJW monologue. I actually think it would be hilarious to bring an SJW onto the lotus eaters however it would have to be on the agreement people can debate them whenever they wanted and if the SJW had a problem with that they would be the ones to leave.
Tradcon, sure. NeoCon? No way. No Neo-Cons anywhere near them.
Callum's black-pilled because he's kind of black-pilling himself

I think that's growing pains between essayist content and panel discussion. I think with the larger studio and 3 panel episodes, they're going to have no choice but to limit the essay portion for the panel discussion.

I think this is a standard problem for conservatives of struggling with the symptoms of a sick society, and taking it for the causes. Yeah, there is a point of something like video-game addiction or media-diet that can wreck your psychology; but the point is that these mechanisms wouldn't be profitable or common place if the foundational degeneracy of society was dealt with.
It's like: Simping is probably one of the most destructive modern cultural phenomenon of our time because it facilitates para-social-sexual relationships with hundreds of men, and makes sexual exploitation of women extremly accessible, poisoning everyone. But the foundational problem isn't simping. The problem is the broken homes, bad parenting, and social isolationism that is institutionally supported and incentivized across society. The women are looking for easy money and attention because of the social conditioning to value materialism and social affirmation through others, because they never developed a proper level of self-confidence and security from their absent fathers; meanwhile them men are beaten-down by social isolationism and institutional / systemic hatred of them and masculinity as a whole; while also working only for materialist purposes in a atomitized social environment; so they don't value themselves and are resorting to simply paying to mimic the idea of an intimate and alluring partner.
They typically hit on the symptom, and then try to use the government enforcing morality, failing to realize that morality can't be cultivated through the barrel of a gun, and the social failures that caused the degeneracy in the first place weren't addressed.
You know it's bad when twice recently I have triggered somebody enough to throw a hissy fit at mods on a site and even the mods have no idea what's going on. I have no idea either lol.
