Yesterday I spoke with a young, 21-year-old Australian man called Joey. He was disgusted by any number of things – his generation’s constant whining and hurt feelings, the educational system being one-sided, people not integrating into society, and the niqab, among others.

Joey – We have an effeminate culture where people feel that everyone’s feelings and rights must be protected. It’s an unequal comparison of history, to suggest that blacks are suffering in exactly the same way today as they were hundreds of years ago, for instance. What young people of my age need to be doing is stepping outside of their safety bubbles and exposing themselves to things that will challenge their feelings and worldviews. Instead, they spend all of their time trying to neuter males and achieve a physical equality that will never exist. We live in one of the most fairest societies in the world, and still people look for more and more things to moan about.

Joshua Winston – Things like white privilege, intersectionality and cultural co-existence? My biggest concern is loss of cultural identity. You lose a culture if too many people are allowed in.

Joey – I’m worried when it comes to discriminating against minorities. That should never be allowed. It’s anti-ethical to Western culture to do this. We should examine the individual and come to conclusions based on their ethics, and then decide whether or not they are a good fit with our society. This part of London is very obviously filled with Arab people, and they want to travel the world and see things, too, and of course they have every right to. In London, for instance, yes, I would agree that there are too many Arab people living and settled here. That’s a problem because they do not want to integrate, and the niqab is a sign of that lack of desire to integrate. And I agree that immigration in all lands should be capped. I don’t know what a reasonable number would be, possibly between 5 – 10%. What you’re seeing just now is that indigenous Brits are leaving their capital cities and moving to rural areas so that they can still experience their own culture and practices. It’s not right to discriminate against an individual, but it’s entirely okay to exhibit a level of concern for the survival of one’s own culture.

JW – Any more thoughts on the niqab?

Joey – It’s oppressive and it’s a form of torture. It’s black and polyester and traps the heat. There’s nothing religious about it at all. It’s a cultural form of dress from particular regions of the Middle East. A niqab is not covering someone’s modesty or protecting them from sexual assault, it is simply a form of torture, and it’s a disgrace that we allow this oppression of women to happen in the UK.

JW – There was a case yesterday where a man in a motorcycle helmet entered a store to pay for some gasoline, I believe, and the shop owner told him he had to remove his helmet. Meanwhile, standing next to him was a woman in full niqab. The motorcyclist is now accusing the shop owner of being a racist. It’s complex, and Islam is not a race, but why should a white man be asked to remove a head-covering when a brown woman isn’t?

Joey – Pure fear on behalf of the authorities and police.

JW – You mentioned logos earlier, that young people must speak to logos. What did you mean by that?

Joey – Logos means speaking truth into chaos. People can believe whatever they want and hope for whatever they want, but ultimately they must follow the logos (truth), regardless of whether or not it offends them, upsets them, or disappoints them, or leads them in a direction that they feel they don’t want to go.

JW – Do you have a vision for London, ten years from now?

Joey – The left are currently controlling the narrative. I’m a Conservative, and I do understand why you would want to give a voice to all minorities, but the far left have an agenda about all of this. They put forward the narrative that Conservatives don’t want people to have luxuries or to have their rent paid if they are unemployed, etc. This is a lie. The left are going to continue to use minorities as political tools.
