My name is Andrew Gold, and I have committed hate speech. I'll explain why.
But first, I want to look into how our culture - including those who deemed my speech of the hate variety - is stripping apart the foundations of the West in favour of illiberal Islamism.
Women had the vote in Afghanistan decades ago. Lebanon and Iran were secular societies. Today, all three countries are hotbeds of Islamic extremism, where women are second-class citizens, gays are persecuted and democracy is absent.
This is the case in the vast majority of the 52 Muslim countries. One of the few beacons of slightly-less-extremism, Turkey, has in recent years taken the great leap forward into Islam on steroids.
In many of these countries, 97%-99% of the population has unfavourable views of Jews. This makes sense: the one Jewish country, Israel, is a democracy with equal rights for gays, women…people. In its liberal values, it is a symbol of everything we cherish about the West.
Islam is - by its admission - a colonising force.
Unlike Judaism - which is often criticised by those who feel it encourages a sense of superiority and exclusivity in its faithful - Islam seeks the conversion (submission) of everyone else. Muslims have achieved this through sheer force. However, it is often a case of growing a large enough population to use a nation’s own democracy against it.
This is currently happening in the UK, where Muslim politicians recently moved the Overton Window so that it is now acceptable to discuss and approve of blasphemy laws, Jew-hating and first-cousin marriage.
But politics is downstream of culture.
Let us not underestimate the latter’s role. Christopher Hitchens famously said: "The barbarians never take a city until someone holds the gates open to them. And it's your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you."
If you admire that quote, you'll enjoy the irony in Patreon - a website that allows creators to earn through subscriptions - removing my interview with
for "hate speech".I suppose it stands to reason that Doyle, a learned and compassionate man - who is gay - and whose principles mostly align with the Left, would be despised by the same culture promoting Far-Right, homophobic, anti-Semitic Islamism.
As is typical in these Kafkaesque castigations, Patreon obfuscated our crime, leaving me somewhat trepidatious about its nature.
What had I - or Andrew Doyle - said!?
I finally received an email from Patreon last night:
Barbarians!
My wife - an immigrant - will be appalled to learn that I hate them so much.
Firstly, I can't find the word barbarian in the episode's transcript. But if it is there or they have confused it with another episode, I only use the word barbarians when quoting Hitchens.
It's a literary allusion - different to actually calling immigrants barbarians. But even if I had called immigrants such a thing, the definition of barbarian is:
A member of a people not belonging to one of the great civilisations.
One has to wonder if JM Coetzee's brilliant Waiting for the Barbarians is on Patreon's banned books list?
As a word, it’s hardly Goebbels, but herein lies the crux:
Patreon and its Stasi enforcers don't believe Britain is—or should be—one of today's great civilisations. Even suggesting as much is now a cancelable act. This is how Leftist authoritarians work to strip away a nation's pride and social cohesion.
Just as the Leftists aligned with the Islamists in Lebanon and Iran (before the latter swiftly killed the former), today's woke are doing their utmost to ignore history and speed up their own demise.
People who are too ignorant or ideological to see what is happening are confused by cultish buzzwords and thought-terminating clichés.
A culture rightly concerned with equality for immutable features such as skin colour has become disoriented by made-up concepts such as ‘Islamophobia’ - the criticism of a belief. That's why Keir Starmer is considering reintroducing blasphemy laws.
‘Multicultural’ is conflated by these same ignorant people with ‘multiracial’. This allows them to identify any dissent about the erosion of British culture as racist. After each terrorist attack, they cultishly repeat the mantra: "Diversity is our strength". This is palpably untrue and unprovable - but zealots never seek to prove mantras that are to the cult self-evident.
The truth is that unity is our strength. Shared values promote social cohesion in a multiracial society. Countries built upon a mishmash of laws and social norms cannot survive, which is why the UK is falling apart.
Here’s the test:
If any of this seems racist or bigoted to you, let's reverse it with a thought experiment (I’d advise you do this during any argument with a useful idiot). We Brits have taken over parts of Spain:
