the UK moves to ban swords. Popular sword YouTuber scholagladiatoria proceeds to repeat all American arguments against banning the AR-15 without realizing it. Replace "sword" with "rifle", "knife" with "pistol", and "machete" with "shotgun". (www.youtube.com)

This is the guy that cut off contact with Shad for the crime of being right wing, by the way.

I'm glad my radar is still working. I didn't know anything about this dude, but something about him just wasn't sitting right with me, even if he was parroting "our side" of the argument. I'm glad he's speaking out, but it still just rubs me the wrong way.

Let le clue you in, it's the incessant repeating of the same five things for 17 minutes when a 7 min video would have been more than enough.

For some reason woke people tend to just rephrase their arguments several times in a row to make it sound like they have more to say.

Literally all of his videos are like this, no fucking structure whatsoever, just rambling and repeating of points.

To be fair to those who don't really deserve it, there is an element of youtube algorithm to it as well. Though that only explains ~10 minutes, not 17 minutes.

I still follow him because he seems to be knowledgeable about swords and their history, even if he is a major cuck. I can tell you that everything that he talks about in this video is genuine.

Scholagladitoria is a retired professional fencing instructor. His current day job is a dealer of antique swords etc. He is very knowledgeable in his field.

He is still a major cuck who lives in a bubble of woke tossers and strives to please them.

I was going to mention the same thing. He's a lefty soy who thinks Shadiversity is hard right (lol), he openly supports LGBTQ (one of the reasons he dissassociated with Shad is he didn't want to upset his LGBTQ family members), and the arguments he used to defend himself when the drama was unfolding were logically inconsistent and unsound (apologies but I can't remember the specifics). When commenters pressed him on the failings of his arguments, he deflected and spouted off typical PR garbage that didn't answer anything.

He's a lefty soy hypocrite. He deserves nothing but contept and ridicule, like all the other weak faggots still supporting their own, and their people's, enslavement and replacement. He's just another White traitor more than willing to open the gates to infinity immigration for fear of being called a mean word, like "racist".

No amount of "expertise" these morons hold will ever sway me to listen to them, as their weakness, hypocrisy, and adherence to propaganda will pervade and corrupt everything they do. It's like when a brainwashed idiot tries to explain reality, but perpetually fails because they try to fit reality within the confines of their programming, which itself is just thinly veiled lies. By every measure, their judgment is highly suspect.

He's a practicing Mormon if I remember right, not Romney Mormon ACTUALLY practicing so is big into family values and the need for strong male role models.

His values are so strong he doesn't swear much at all despite being Australian lol.

The British House of Commons keeps its parties separated by an aisle, which is one of the origins of the phrase "crossing the aisle."

When someone steps into the aisle to confront an opposition party member, the man in charge will call out "Toe the line!" which is also the origin of that phrase.

The aisle has an official defined width.

What is the official defined width?

"Two sword lengths plus one foot."

Also reminding people that the sergeant of arms (traditionally the monarch's bodyguards) carries a big, fuck-off mace that will neatly slay someone through light armor in a single hit.

Today it is ceremonial and made of silver. It used to be a very, very functional four foot tall mace.

The unsaid part of "Toe the line!" is: "Toe the line or my sergeant at arms will come over there and stave in your head with his mace."

England doesn't actually have a knife problem, England has the same problem that everywhere else with a sizable black population has: the black population.

Despite making up only 13% of London’s total population, black Londoners account for 45% of London’s knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators and 53% of knife crime perpetrators.

13/60 comes about as a result of censorship & statistical manipulation (e.g. intentional misclassification)

If the people collecting the stats were honest and the general populace knew that it was more like 13/80 or 13/90, then TPTB would be fucked.

Agreed. How about, yes blades are dangerous and we need them to protect ourselves. But no, these types just keep redrawing the line until they are boxed into a corner.

Japan did this during the Edo period.

If I recall correctly, the serfs rose up and repurposed their farming equipment which has given rise to many of their historical weapons as we know them.

Hang on, doesn't this infringe on the religious and cultural beliefs of a minority group living there?

And no I don't mean the Sikhs or even jokingly the blacks living there, I'm talking about the Gurkas. Aren't they allowed to carry their weapons which are more short swords than knives.

Just seems more a tacit admission that the UK authorities are the biggest fuck ups and are trying to take away ways to fight back because they fear reprisal than realising that they can easily be taken out with sticks at this point.

I personally would LOVE to see ANY official try to tell a Sikh they need a licence to have their religious weapon.

Gurkas, fuck even the SAS would tell their commander to fuck off if they gave them that order. We are talking about people that the British Empire COULDN'T win against so made an alliance with and have terrified the enemy of every battlefield they've been on. Some pencil pushing authoritarian pussy would piss themselves before even trying to write a letter to them let alone order them to get a licence for their weapons..

Unfortunately too many Sikhs (read: more than zero) got cucked and wear ceremonial blades. A Sikh's sword isn't supposed to be metaphorical, it's the Second Amendment as a religious mandate.

I might not have made it clear in my title, but this guy is talking about swords and knives, and never mentions guns in America. if you play mad libs with his video and replace sword with gun etc, he's basically repeating all of the good arguments for not banning semi-automatic rifles.

I know I wasn't asked, but I'll answer anyway.

I've known several cops in my life and they've arranged from massive faggots to legitimate protectors of the community. in my experience, it all depends on the jurisdiction, and I know for a fact my jurisdiction's police have my back.

The UK government will have their way and British sword owners won't do shit. The media will probably demoralize them to give up their swords, and dehumanize anyone who wants one. This is exactly what happened in the 90s when they banned handguns.

Yup. they will probably make exceptions for blunt swords so that they can keep their Olympic fencers. the HEMA and WMA communities might be toast, at the very least they can absolutely say goodbye to cutting competitions.

The English are gay. Can we just agree? Seen those videos (there are hundreds) of some cop harassing some random over some pre-school level offense like calling someone a name or racial slur? Or that recent one of the pianist being asked to stop filming some Chinese tourists and a cop harassed HIM. And when these cops are questioned about why they just provide some circular, non sensual reasoning about why your being detained for naming your WiFi network "white pride" or something harmless. And white girls are routinely raped by Pakistanis and yet the British men have yet to form their own KKK style lunch mob and get justice. Complete fucking pussies.

They banned the rifles in 88, and the pistol shooters sighed in relief. They were going to leave .22 pistols legal and bullseye/Olympic shooters were happy, until they went and banned it all anyways in 97.

They banned Lever Release rifles, restricted Long Barrel Pistols, made shotgun IPSC difficult etc.

They banned knives, made it so you have to show ID to buy a butter knife and after all this, he thought swords were safe?
