Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters number 1369. Nice. And it is the 6th of March

2026. I am joined by Nick and Firas and today I believe Nick is going to talk about why war is madness.

I will. Oh, Fierras is. Yeah, yeah, Sorry, I don't know why I thought that.

You're going to be talking about why Bastani is conservative.

Why Aaron Bastani is super based, the last true conservative.

Yeah, this is my claim.

I'm sure that's going to be very popular with our audience.

And then I'm going to talk about how the Vikings have returned,

except they've been cast by Netflix. I'm not going to give you any more clues as to what that's about. But I suppose

we may as well begin. Thank you. Before I start, I want to mention to you that the Stonewall Myth

documentary has come out by our very own Harry Robinson,

and it goes into the history of the Stonewall movement, and it's really quite interesting,

slightly depressing, slightly sad, very sad, but you should actually go ahead and watch it. Now, I want to talk a little

bit about the Middle East and the war that we find the West engaged in in the Middle East with

more and more countries being drawn in. And I want to talk about it really from the religious dimension, because I feel

that this isn't discussed enough, unfortunately, and what it is, it's a bit one-sided. We can all

agree that the Muslims have a bit of an extremism problem. Can we...

It's putting it a touch lightly. Can we agree on that?

Although, I could argue, you know, that old line of the problem with Islamic fundamentalism

are the fundamentals of Islam, so is it really extremism? But I...

100%.

I agree with the point, you're trying.
