Could you have seriously been this patrician while surrounde

His major belief is, and always has been, his own self-importance.

He's not wrong, and consciousness of one's national cultural heritage beyond knowing when we last won the world cup is important, but the fact remains that children from working class family have had no respect or curiosity for these things imbued in them.

It is easier said than done.

Morality man is one of the few worthwhile commentators we have left. I don't agree with him on everything but watching him stacked up against the smirking toddlers who've taken over is heartbreaking.

Based Peter Hitchens.

Are there any books I should read by him as an America?

Any good videos of him debating people?

I'm biased since I'm an anti-legalizer, but The War we Never Fought was pretty good.

But, you say "as an American." The simple fact is that Peter never reached the fame Christopher did because he didn't come to America. He is extremely focused on Britain.

Man, that's one of the things that frustrates me the most, coming from middleschoolers, or STEM majors, or working class jackasses or any one really, that idea that cultural works are unimportant or silly and should just be removed from education already because they're just a waste of time. I really don't understand the utilitarian nightmare world they seem to wasn't to create, where everyone is merely a a practical component, where all that matters is working and building and designing, but in service of nothing other than its own smooth operation. What the fuck is the point of having a society if you don't want culture, or art, or beauty, or literature or philosophy, or anything not mechanical?

As a Canadian I have enjoyed all of his books but I follow British affairs closely. Abolition of Britain is good and a brief history of crime.

Google Peter Hitchens debates and there are alot of them depending on the subject matter.

He seems to be pretty hit or miss most of the time but he was absolutely based in that clip.

Here in Australia we've had decades of hopeless cunts in our education system who have thoroughly removed any cultural instruction. It is now very common to hear young people everywhere say we don't have a culture, that Australia doesn't stand for anything, and we need to mass import people in order to gives ourselves a culture. It's utterly revolting.

He just recently had a lecture. Should be on YouTube
