An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West

Product Information

He claims that An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West will deliver "truth bombs", particularly on the controversial issue of slavery and its legacy. Woke’ ideology sees free speech as a threat to diversity, because ‘woke’ diversity is really uniformity of thinking about gender, sexuality and race relations But it is not just that speech is being silenced, the meanings of words are being changed in such a way that public dissent becomes very difficult. After all, who would criticise diversity, inclusion, and safety? And who would be outrageous enough to question someone regarding the gender identity they affirm for themselves? Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -As anti-British sentiment grows, and patriotism comes under fire, journalist, comedian and Russian immigrant Konstantin Kisin decides to embark on a peculiar activity: to write a love letter to the West. For all of the West's failings - terrible food, cold weather, and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few - it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise. Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can Englisch. The prosperity and political freedom of the West has allowed people to live healthier, longer, and freer than ever in human history – the Christian and Enlightenment values upon which this is built are worth defending

Comedians asked to sign 'behavioural agreement' for Soas gig". the Guardian. 11 December 2018 . Retrieved 31 October 2022. As you know, I’ve documented the level of media misrepresentation and the outright lies we have seen over the past six years in particular. It was happening before, but not on quite the same scale. And so I don’t really blame people for looking suspiciously at a mainstream media which lied to them about Brexit, which lied to them about Trump, which lied to them about Covid, which lied to them about almost everything. Ukraine wanted to sign an agreement that would take it in a more westward direction. The Ukrainian president, who was basically a Russian puppet, prevented that from happening. And having promised to go with that agreement, he tried to sign another one with Russia. People came out on to the streets. They were brutally assaulted, beaten up, and then there was a public uprising. Triggernometry's YouTube channel alone has attracted almost 28million views. And Kisin maintains that "we're having all sorts of difficult conversations that you're not seeing on TV, you're not hearing on the radio. The success of the show is that it's filled a vacuum".Perhaps the old dears and brigadiers of the Tory Party membership who call these things are still a little too far to the right to elect a Braverman or a Badenoch. Politics, like science, advances one funeral at a time. Manzoor, Alex (2 February 2020). "Comedy and Controversy: Interview with Konstantin Kisin". The Cambridge Student . Retrieved 31 October 2022.

The war in Ukraine is not a Western plot - spiked

O’Neill: I have often found myself at loggerheads on the Ukraine question with the kind of people who would consider themselves to be on our side – people who would be critical of wokeness and the European Union and in favour of freedom of speech. But they have adopted an almost conspiratorial way of seeing the world – it’s not really critical thinking, it’s cynical thinking – and they disbelieve everything about the narrative that we are being given on Ukraine. I’m sure there are aspects of that narrative that are worth criticising and talking about, but they see the entire narrative as concocted. They dismiss the Ukraine conflict as a distraction, another way to galvanise the ‘dumb public’ now that Covid is fading away. What do you make of that kind of discussion and how do you deal with it? The solution to the suffocating tendencies of ‘wokeism’ is to reinvigorate the Western tradition of both freedom of speech and the dignity and identity of the individual, both of which emerged uniquely in the West over thousands of years. Exactly how this can be done is not clearly set out in Kisin’s book, but the internet is a key player in promoting a genuine diversity of views that allows citizens to access alternative ideas to what they are fed in the mainstream media, and from their universities. It may also be time for those who appreciate the best of Western civilisation to focus less on criticising established institutions and more on starting their own. a b "Comedian refused to sign 'behavioural agreement' before gig". BBC News. 12 December 2018 . Retrieved 31 October 2022.Justifying his actions after it was claimed that Kisin had agreed to similar restrictions for a different gig in 2017, he stated he was "absolutely certain there was nothing about religion, atheism, respect or kindness in the rules [of the 2017 contract]. Had there been, I would not have agreed." [23] Bibliography [ edit ]

The West is worth saving - spiked

The right likes to play with Oswald Spengler’s gloomy prophecy and almost yearns to see the West’s decline complete – just for the grim satisfaction, as the gates swing open and the hordes pour in, of witnessing the Reign of Terror that the Americans, unlike the French, missed out on the first time around. ‘I told you so’ is so much more satisfying than ‘Trust me, you don’t want this’.
