I was sacked and prevented from working in Melbourne for 2 YEARS due to refusing a poison MRNA injection. We were forced into a curfew and arrested if we dared go more than 5km from our homes. I went bankrupt and ended up homeless whilke my Grandmother died alone in a nursing home after no one was allowed to visit her for 2 years. We then had to apply to drive though the ring of steel so 5 of us could go to her funeral. All of Melbourne stood by and allowed this to happen to others and cheered it on due to fear of a illness that isnt and wasnt a threat. Shame on all of you for failing the biggest IQ test ever conducted.

Australia can only save itself but stopping "sheep voting" for the 2 major government parties that no longer work for Aussies.

I love the way KK expresses his ideas in such easy way and it also isn't always in a negative fashion. He highlights the good in Western society. Granted there many things that needs improving but I rather live in Western country than any other type.

Born in Melbourne in 60. Great growing up there even if - as a child of "new immigrants" - had to get a taste of overt racism every now and then. But immigrants back then didn't complain about this. They were happy to be free and working in a safe and growing economy. Some of the "new immigrants", Greeks, Italians, Yugoslavians, were placed in "work camps" when they arrived. Please note, they were LEGAL immigrants that went to Australia after an open invitation at the end of WII. Yes some were picked out and placed, against their will, in work camps where they had to work all day - typically in fruit farms - and were not permitted to leave. If they did leave, they were tracked down, beaten up, and returned. They STILL didn't complain. Even though they were effectively slaves they knew they would be released at the end of the season. Besides they had free food, all you can eat fruit, and a place to sleep. In post WWII Europe these were a luxury. The Australia I grew up in was harsh but fair. Everyone was given a chance to do great in the society. Without any special benefits, affirmative action, or anything else. Immigrants excelled. Immigrants worked hard, saved money, did NOT engage in crime, bought their own home, sent their kids to college. One generation. Zero help. Even with the work farm experience and the occasional racist treatment, they excelled. The Australian government did acknowledge that this work farm thing they did was probably not right. They said "sorry". That's it. No quotas, no affirmative action, no reparations. Went to school in a suburb of Melbourne were most kids were children of immigrants. Sure there was racism. There was even "N-words" for new immigrants. Dagos for Italians, Wogs for Greeks. We let everyone use these "N-words". Despite the work farms, the N-words, the racism, we all got a fair chance. Equal opportunity in a land where there was PLENTY of opportunity to go around. Immigrants asked for nothing, received no benefits, yet still excelled. THAT Australia has gone for good. Now we have authoritarian regime that is targeting anybody that dissents - especially if you are white. Today some of the elderly first immigrants might be ind anger of the law for saying something that might be considered ... racist.

Australia is very nearly lost, we have a chance to turn it around but I fear we are too divided. I’m turning 40 this year but I no longer recognize this country for how it used to be when I was a kid.

_"Alexander Solschenizyn spent most of his life in a prison camp where he endured terrible conditions, punishments, brutal beatings and a starvation diet; I went to an English boarding school: that's where the similarities end."_ 🤣

This is why I support Triggernometry, another great speech by Konstantin.

Great speech on the value of Western Culture. Yaaaaaay, Western culture and capitalism….we wouldn’t be writing comments on KZfaq without it!!!!❤ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The reality is that London and Paris fell in 2018 and now in 2024 no one can save these cities

We should be thankful for people like Konstantin for the globally articulating what the majority in the west think.

🧡 Kisin, please come more often and write more books, the free world needs you, Australia does not need political correctness, Australia is destroyed by WOKE and political correctness

I don’t feel that Australia is governed by consent any more. Preferential voting, and the politicians carrying out their own agendas against the will of the people have made Australia a more unpleasant place to live. The government are fast tracking the removal of many of Australians’ freedoms and many people are too complacent to act.

This dude is becoming something special.

Why freedom is so important for a society to thrive & succeed explained so well.

Always a pleasure to listen to Konstan’s perspective of life

This is the first time I’ve come across this man’s work and I’m glad I now have. Thank you, Konstantin.

Australian government is gonna do what the above bosses tell them

The west is not yet lost if people like Konstantin still have a voice. Thank you!

Please come to Canada , our current government is well on its way to ending freedom of speech and the ability to speak truth to power with bill C 63.

So much love for my Aussie mates!!! Stay strong!!!

Private property and rule of law is good for building wealth during times of benevolent rule, but it doesn’t safeguard against excessive government when rule of law is suspended ie covid lockdowns, mandated jabs etc

welcome to 'Straya' KK.... love that you have come to visit us ... Great speech

A great thought provoker and a magnificant debater!

You are speaking of an Australian long gone

Great speaker, here's my thoughts; Australia can only be saved if we remove any corporate money from politics, until then there can't be trust and the interests of corporations will always come ahead of the public AND it attracts the wrong sort of people to be politicians. Conservative and progressive ideas can both be valuable. It isn't left vs right, it's up vs down.

Great to have you here Downunda, Konstantin! I'm a big fan 😃

The West's religion, culture, moral and legal structure must be preserved

I was an infant in the 1960s, we weren't allowed to read Enid Blighton, Rudyard Kipling, or Kenneth Graeham. In religious education classes our gay drama teacher played Monty python records and read a book. I wasn't told why this censorship was being imposed by our school. Now I know.

I live in Melbourne, how did i not know this was happening??

This is exactly what every culture in history says about itself before it becomes history.

Winston Churchill once said democracy is the worst form of government until we find a better one!

I’m pleased that I waited till the end and listened to his ideas, instead of jumping in!!! So much he did not mention, I was waiting to hear of his constructive ideas of globalisation, and the control of the collective west by the unknown faces and names. Maybe he will speak again and explain the 59 wars that American has forced on these nations. I have always enjoyed listening to him for many years, and I will continue to do so. NZ.

The best thing about "freedom of speech" is actually the freedom to listen....to others who have different experiences, different knowledge and different beliefs. Because by listening to others, with different views, sometimes contentious views, we can accelerate our own learning, improve our own knowledge and have better, more productive happier lives. In countries where freedom of speech is limited, the people are definitively more ignorant, more arrogant and their ability to change their lives for the better, and/or think for themselves is stifled.

Konstantine - welcome here, love You !! SPEAK out !!

The local lefty cancellers can't have heard of Konstantin. He's much too intelligent for them to let him speak.

In today’s Australia we do not get to keep what we create. The company does.

Melbourne is a mini Britain atm, doesn’t even feel like Australia in that state anymore

Much of the 'west's' strength was based on Christian values (not always consistently followed). On another point, the books 1984, Animal Farm and Brave New World are all worth reading for an understanding of where we are now.

If the voice of the individual mattered, they wouldnt have invaded Iraq

This man is spot on, glad I happened upon this channel thank you, speak loud, speak clear. You’re the voice we need to understand it.

Sometimes KK says something worthwhile this was not one of those times. IPA is he the best speaker you could find?

Konstantin is ALWAYS worth listening to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is if you remove private property rights and insensitives then human nature is a constant regardless of the type of society. If there's no personal benefit to the individual, if you reward people who contribute little or nothing then you disincentive people who gain no material benefit from their hard work and resent it when they see a sytem that rewards the lazy.

You’re always welcome here Konstantin 👍

There's nothing left to save; going forward, seeing that those who engineered and participated in the downfall don't exist in the future.

Wonderful, insightful address Konstantin. Keep up the great work you do in educating people, especially young people, on what it is possible to lose if we turn away from the great things the West has achieved, especially in promoting human flourishing.

KK, I love how you have come to the belly of the beast & are striking at the head of the snake. So happy to welcome you to Melbourne, God willing there are people in that crowd who will have a crack at the labour stronghold in Victoria.✝️🕎

Very refreshing KK - you know the West and in fact the whole world we live in is basically one giant ponzi scheme and I’m not even Italian.

That's not the only reason Cortez succeeded! It helped a bit that the Aztecs were expecting the return of the white, bearded god (the civilisation bringer, Quetzalcoatl, who came across the seas many centuries earlier).

Konstantin is a legend

excellent speech, Konstantin! We need you here in New Zealand.

Konstantin Kisin is an incredibly intelligent individual. I love his talks and thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Brilliantly said. Every university student and many more should listen who has experienced an authoritarian culture and has analysed our culture recognised it is better and suit all human beings. We better look after it and ensure another culture doesn't surripicially take over just because they like ultimate control and power. I think Queen Elizabeth embodied the spirit of the Weatern World.

Think this man is speaking my kind of speak! 🌻❤️🐕

This talk made such exceptional points about the West being special. We should quickly recognise, though, that Western society's success and capacity for thinkers, was often cultivated by a history of ancient Westerners who did oppress others with violence. I also want to ask this question - isn't it interesting that people will have different perspectives on the way they act on this specialness? I mean, some of us are going to want to spread the advantage in one way or another - maybe even consider that colonisation/control that the West establishes over other peoples will ultimately be for the better (regardless of the violence, because it may be considered a means to a better end). More research should definitely be done on this because it's going to influence how people view collective conscience and ethical identification moving forward. Also, I think it's awesome that I get to see this video about a really relevant talk happening in Australia - my own country! It makes me super interested, because I don't quite know how to define Australia's national identity, and I love this kind of talk for the sake of understanding.

Konstantin Kisin good to see you giving speach that can waken up the people's Go to any country they will loved to hearing your options so can educate the youngs.

Please come to Canada and help us overcome Trudeaus censorship bills C-11, C-18 and C-63.

truth be said, it is you and me that is the problem because we could have stopped it at the outset but we lacked the will and the courage to do so. And even now, at this late hour, we could stop it if only we could find the will and the courage. So look within and find your will and courage.

We seem to have forgotten that truth and righteousness fail to exist when we give them authority.

My husband is Indonesian and they’ve just gone through a national election. Former president Jokowi was corruptly selling off land and immigrating Chinese like no tomorrow because of huge loans from Chinese gov. But Our family over there are so sane compared to pretty much everyone I know here in Australia. It’s a relief to hear the good stuff about the West, yet we can all feel there’s something going wrong here. I haven’t finished listening to this so I hope he talks about that.

Welcome Konstantin.

We normal people know where abnormal people can shove their political correctness...where it hurts most on their person.

I think the Australian government needs to take a long hard look at what is happening in the UK, France & Belgium to name a few and then ask themselves "do we want Australia to go down this route" We need to start acting now before it is to late.

And the even more difficult truth to say aloud is that the reason our countries are better is because OUR CULTURE AND CUSTOMS ARE BETTER. But to take that as an attack on you personally, if youre foreign, is to misunderstand human nature in the most superficially dangerous and divisive way.

Respect from the States, Konstantin. "Defend the faith," mate! God bless you.

I often wondered how past great civilisations collapsed.

every word is carefully weighed and resonates with truth

I would point out that, if Britain is an example, that we DON’T have freedom of culture to the extent KK implies. Britain has its own distinct culture which has evolved over centuries and it has rules, standards, etiquettes, traditions which are universally expected and observed and what makes us distinctly British. We don’t have ‘freedom’ to jump queues because the social contract is strong that we don’t do that. It’s not policed by the system- so not illegal - but it IS policed socially. Or was when we had a largely monocultural society.

Love this guy 👌👏👏👏Welcome down under 🇦🇺

While KK has a platform I have hope that our Western culture will survive and hopefully burn brightly again in the hearts of our younger generations. Only hearing the truth from such intellectuals who have experienced both sides of the cultural coin will our children understand what a privileged life they have been born into

Freedom allows you to the opportunity to live your best life as you see fit. To work together with whomever you wish. To band together in pursuit of common ends.

Thank you so much for your information.

Last decade of western 🎉🎉

I was thinking about his comments about Hernán Cortés. He was Born in 1485 and died in 1547. How can he be a product of a free society? Adam Smith was born in 1723. Age of enlightenment was between 17th and 18th century when almost all the ideas of "free society" were developed. How can he claim that success of cortes was because of superior western ideals when they were not even developed yet?

The comparison with the conquest of Mexico is very sharp. Cortez built a large coalition of disgruntled tribes. It wasn't democracy but offering a viable alternative.

Konstantine is a 💎

Thanks!!

Really like Kisin...but just to be clear: the Institute of Public Affairs (like more than 500 similar 'Institutes' and think-tanks around the world) are part of the Atlas Network whose aims are shifting public discourse and political agenda toward corporate hegemony - it is NOT about freedom/autonomy, opportunity, democracy, or capitalism etc or 'countering the march of socialist ideology', the network is very much about consolidating power and wealth - under the guise of seemingly well-meaning 'principles' and headed by some good (but mis-guided) people.

Love this guy!! Always speaks the truth! Who else better to articulate the West shortfalls and the declines of our freedoms, then someone from communist Russia raised in UK. Such an eloquent speaker!

This guy must be a comedian!!

KK, I'm not conservative but I love libertarian think tanks . FFS !

Great talk. Thoroughly enjoyed it

KK says towards the end that the three pillars of civilization that he believes are under threat are... Government by consent, Freedom of expression and Capitalism. We need to unpack and acknowledge some hard truths about these three pillars because while I agree that we need to educate everyone (not just young people) about how important they are, we also need to acknowledge how they are being co opted, under threat and used against us. How did we let the corpocracy feast, to the point of ruin, on capitalism and lobby our democratic governments to such an extent that we now live in a facade democracy and actually in a corporate institutional oligarchy? CORPOCRACY! Where do we draw a line in the sand in regards to untouchable (and untaxable) corporate capitalism? How do we encourage all the good things free market economies give us while protecting them from being taken advantage of without involving an over reach of government bureaucratic regulation? We are watching many corporations, industries, governments and now privatized institutions run amok through these pillars of freedom, democracy and free market economies. These systems are under attack and failing us due to a prolonged and strategic manipulation of these systems by an unscrupulous and immoral oligarchy to gain wealth, power and resource. A democracy is only as strong as its people are educated and informed so how did we let our mainstream media and education systems fail, deceive and divide us? Systems that were briefly bastions of unbiased journalism now just propaganda shills, mouthpieces for their corporate masters. We are being tricked to fight amongst ourselves, we are divided and we are conquered, divided by left and right, the colour of our skin, through gender and sexuality, our generations and through religion (to name a few) Those that have the real wealth, power and resources (and the shills that serve them) do not care about real democracy, they do not care about your freedoms, they will take advantage of free market systems, they will ravage and trick the world in the name of democracy and freedom in order to reign over us all.

Last 3 years have proved its not Free anymore.

We are where we are because : 1 The original white ozzy was largely of Anglo Saxon decent, they formed the mainstay of ozzies and a " New" culture was born unlike that of the mainlands. A new slang language became popular probably from English Slang but it evolved to its own. Ex: "Bloody" was common and used in England. We had a rich country and a Government that was largely honest and wanted to grow. 2, Many came from Europe after the war, and more from England.. these even were from Greece and Italy , Germany, and Holland: all of these assimilated and fit in .. and were great contributors to society. They became Ozzies too. We still had a rich country and governments largely honest and fair that wanted to get ahead and gave back to the populace. 3. Now we have a free for all, come from anywhere if you have the money, and when you get here you will be treated like Royalty at the cost of the normal citizen. Some of these types will never assimilate as their ways of life are at odds with those of Brits or Europeans . The western systems are failing and this is widespread now throughout the word including USA and the UK. Governments pander to the elite money spinners whilst we have homeless children and families in the street, concerned with multinational companies that are taking from farmers and the general populace. We as a block of Nations are virtually at war with the faceless elite puppet masters. The story continues.......

It is a strange argument to make that a Spanish Conquistador, operating during the period of the Spanish Inquisition, was successful due to being free from religious dogma. I would suggest there were many other more tangible reasons for their success. Infighting between various groups and plague did more their part than firearms and steel

The superiority of a system where authority can be questioned explains everything from democracy to Protestantism to the Star Wars prequels.

We're all born free And freedom's our right Then why do we have to ask at all?

Outstanding

Where is the rest of the discussion???

Going to teach my grade 4 students about democracy and capitalism. How it works and why it isn’t perfect, but creates societies that people want to live in.

Wow. Konstantin is on fire.

The only person that can save Australia is Pauline Hanson

Australia is not the country I grew up in. I moved to Ukraine and it’s a better life, laid back , free like Australia was. It’s not woke and the love their country . Like we once did

Thank heavens for IPA! And thank you, Mr Kisin, for being a thorn in the side of lazy thinkers and propagandisers.

Thank you!I agree with your clear,insightful assessment !

Let's face it, everywhere the British went they created Christian, civilised, moral, wealthy, free, democratic thriving countries and cultures.

I admire this brilliant man

Also grew up in USSR, also living in west, also asking the question. Do you guys in west need personal experience of totalitarian system to understand how good your present life was? There's gotta be a better way.

I had no idea that he is here. I would have come out for this….
