The Net Zero Riots

by Sallust
3 January 2025 5:00 PM

The Russian-British satirist and author Konstantin Kisin has popped up in a video chat with Youtuber and podcaster Chris Williamson with a damning verdict on Britain’s prospects while being led headlong into the crippling consequences of taxation and a Net Zero fantasy.

Kisin starts right out with the view that “at the moment” Britain is “f***ed”.

They discuss the mass exodus of all those who have created, are creating and will create wealth. “This Government has decided that the people who it needs to tax are the businesses basically, particularly the smaller-size businesses.”

Kisin describes the relentless increase of public, visible lawlessness, especially on the London Underground where staff and police stand by helplessly and haplessly as fare-dodging and crime goes untouched.

Williamson asks Kisin why the fabric of Britain is disintegrating:

I think it’s partly because the economy isn’t growing and so there’s not a lot of money to be put into policing. And when you think that Net Zero is the way to prosperity, i.e., driving up energy prices ‘cause you wanna feel green or whatever, you want to reduce Britain’s contribution to global climate change from 2% to 1%, that’s the great ambition, well then, you’re not going to have money. And when you don’t have money you can’t pay police officers, and when you don’t have police officers people engage in crime.

Williamson points out that it’s far worse outside London, that the “U.K. is a very poor country attached to a very rich city”. He describes how last summer’s riots weren’t really about immigration but the explosive effects of a growing impotent underclass who lash out in self-destructive violence in a tide of frustrated malevolence.

The result, as Kisin explains, is the destruction of any hope, the chance to improve one’s lot or the future for children.

If you have a society which has effectively said, “We’re going to do a green accounting trick. We’re going to take your jobs. We’re going to put them in India. We’re going to put them in China where they’re going to make the same steel, or the same cars, or whatever that you used to make. They’re going to do it dirtier – of course they are, it’s a much less developed country – and then we’re going to import that steel, and we’re going to import those cars back into the U.K. so that we can pretend that we’re green.” Well, you combine that with this person no longer having a job and our economy, and as I said we’re poorer now than we were in 2007, what did you expect?

Which takes the whole conversation back round to not chasing out job creators “by making business impossible”.

At the time of writing the video has been up for two days and already had nearly 1.5 million views.

Definitely worth viewing in full.

And here is a perfect example of wokeism being put out by the Welsh government.

I think most here would consider this enticement. Doubtless for the ROPers this is aimed at it is surely just a permission notice for when the RNLI drops them off. So it really, really, really is NOT their fault.

Talking of wokeism, Arsenal are playing in all white today to show red a red card – or some shit like that. I don’t know what moron designed the shirts – Stevie Wonder perhaps – given that the shirt numbers are also white with the thinnest of black outlines. and the reason is to virtue signal about knife crime in London. Obviously missed the knighthood given to a man who has seen a huge growth in knife crime on his watch.

I think Casey is basically right. The parallels are undeniable.

It cn be bloody hard to see the way back from the destruction we have allowed to be wrought upon our magnificent civilization.

The rape gangs scandal may well come to be seen as a watershed moment – in one way or the other.

As a science student at the time, viewing Dr Jacob Bronowski’s landmark 1973 BBC series “The Ascent of Man” was a formative scientific experience.

The series began with primitive man’s first migration from Africa’s Rift Valley, and in a 13-episode tour de force went on to explain how science and technology had been so fundamental to Western civilisation.

In the final episode, Dr Bronowski concluded by stating that the ascendancy of Western civilisation could not be taken for granted. Prophetic words begin at around 36 minutes in:

The good Doctor’s last testimony to the future, he died the following year.

I’m amazed it has not been more widely denounced as racist. Probably helps that some of his family were apparently killed in Auschwitz.

I’m inclined to think you can’t judge the past by the mores of the present, verities tend to outlast the temporal and -isms can be in the eye of the beholder.

I’d always assumed the death of his family at Auschwitz to be as told in an earlier episode of the series.

I am certainly not judging him, just suggesting that it’s likely sooner or later that his probable neglect of the “achievements” of various races and focus on the achievements of White people will make him a Bad Person in the eyes of the madleft as one of our fellow posters calls them.

I have no idea whether the Auschwitz story is true or not, just saying it might have bought him some brownie points (I did find one commentator who posited that JB might be a racist but dismissed it because his family were victims of the holocaust – illogical bollocks but there you go).

Wokeism is dead as dead as the green agenda. It might not look that way yet but all it takes is a certain tightening of material well-being and all of this fancy thought disappears very rapidly. You quickly understand that the people that you need to value are the people who offer the best chance of survival.

It has gone. Spengler talked about this stage, home economicus. The bankers say inflate or die. That means lots of war because it is the greatest inflationary pressure. The West is now severely overstretched militarily. Sadly a school of thought has grown up in the last 25 years among the Anglo-Americans that a nuclear war is essentially winnable. They really believe it and they talk about it openly now. If this permanent bureaucracy isn’t somehow dislodged very quickly then only blind and mindless destruction can follow.

There was a British study in 1985 if I recall. which looked at the effect of a single nuclear weapon hitting the UK. It concluded that even if all the hospital beds were empty the health system would still be completely overwhelmed by such an event. And that was at a time when the NHS was healthier than it is now. I strongly disagree with this doctrine of escalation to nuclear as if it is just another step.

I do believe there were parts of East England that had radiation contamination from the Chernobyl accident.

There is a good documentary, I forget the name about a huge undergoround site in Finland where they try to bury all the nuclear waste products. You can put it in the ground or under the sea but you can’t undo the dark magic. Can any civilisation survive when it has developed tools that can blow itself to pieces. The idea the nukes will be left on the shelf forever. I would say no destruction is assured. Maybe then we rise up again, as Plato said of the post-Atlantean period, like children with no recollection of what went before.

To underline what is happening, the corrupt legal system we have (refer to Paul Barret’s YouTube posts about Tommy Robinson for example) there are other examples, is another step towards the failure of our civilisation unless we can have legal proceedings accurately monitored and corrected when they go wrong.
