Analysis Summary
Deflection
Deflecting criticism by pointing to someone else's wrongdoing instead of addressing the original issue. "What about when they did X?" changes the subject and puts the critic on the defensive. A specific form of the tu quoque fallacy.
Tu quoque fallacy; associated with Soviet propaganda technique (Nimmo, 2015)
Worth Noting
Positive elements
- This video provides a clear example of how alternative media outlets critique government messaging and 'nudge' tactics used in public safety campaigns.
Be Aware
Cautionary elements
- The rapid escalation from a critique of a specific government ad to broad claims about 'cultural suicide' and demographic replacement.

I might get a criminal record and not be able to go to college. I only shared a link. >> Let me show you guys one one last clip to end on. I thought this would be a nice way of putting a a pin in the show today because one of the there's two things that kind of brought the three of us together. Free speech of America and a free internet. And that's what we're all doing with our lives. And that's why people hopefully tune in and and share their thoughts as well. Uh but in the UK, they don't have the first amendment and they are very quickly losing a free internet. So, I want to show you this new UK government ad and watch the chilling effect on free speech that they are, I would argue, not so subtly doing here. >> I just got all my devices taken away by the police. My mom couldn't believe it. I might get a criminal record and not be able to go to college. I only shared a link. I just thought it was funny. But it was terrorist content. And that is not a game. It's real life. Okay, so there's so many layers to this thing. So, of course, of course, they take a white kid and he somehow thought it was funny to share a terrorist link implying so maybe it has something to do with white terror or something. Um, but really of course what they want is for the average kid out there not to say mean things to politicians or they want the average mother who's not happy with the immigration situation to say something about it or push back against Star or anything else. Uh, Jacob, do do you think that the UK in particular is just fully cooked? I mean, you sort of said that earlier just on the demographic side, but do you think sort of ideologically do they have a way out of this? Well, the demographic shift is bringing in a completely antithetical ideology to what established Britain and Europe. So, they're they're cooked in that capacity, but they're also cooked by the policies that the the current democratic leadership is pushing. And I think that is it's a it's used to the detriment of a lot of Western countries and democracies is that people who aren't democratic, who don't care about our processes of government, our institutions, and our civilization, they take advantage of it and they weaponize it. And that's exactly what has happened. They have framed Islamophobia in the UK by definition as racist. Well, the last time I checked, anyone can can be a Muslim. It doesn't matter the color of your skin. Uh and and this is also I was going to touch on this a little bit earlier. You're dealing with a civilization right now that is being demonized if they if they are of the belief that they should preserve their culture, their institutions, and what built their society. And that is fundamentally dangerous. That leads to the collapse of a society. You add in all of the immigration, the parallel institutions, the Sharia courts, all of the mosques, the open public prayer, uh the birth rates, it's only a matter of time. And any functioning society or civilization should have the backbone to stand and defend its principles, what built it at a fundamental level. The whole point is that if a bunch of white guys were to just up and leave and say, "We're going to go move to Zimbabwe, white Christian guys or Kenya or someplace in Africa, the population there in those countries would probably have an issue with the demographic overrun of this new immigrant population. They would like to preserve their culture everywhere in Africa and Asia and everywhere else is allowed to do it. But in the west, we have so focused on being, you know, the beacon of democracy and acceptance and diversity that that we're committing cultural suicide. and the fact that, you know, ads like these are going out um trying to pressure kids or emotionally get at them for stupid things like like this and actually speaking their mind is fundamental to a free society to be able to have free speech. I have friends who have been arrested in the UK for talking about certain political issues and certain religions and it is it's insane. It's so sad to see actually. >> Yeah. I mean, supposedly I'm going to London in June for the next uh Jordan Peterson's Art Conference, and it's like, at what point will they just stop letting people in who are outspoken? I mean, I I don't think that's too far off.
