Elon and the mainstream conversation in Britain and America

So didn’t the British public know about the Immigrant-Muslim rape gangs before Elon?

I waste time listening to viral YouTubers (V-tubers). But sometimes, I learn about what regular people know or don’t know about a subject. To my surprise, this fairly well-educated guy had absolutely no idea about the systematic rape by immigrant-Muslim rape gangs. Other folks I know who pay fairly close attention to the news haven’t heard about it either.

This is why Elon Musk’s messages on X are so important. They reach a broader audience while bypassing the media that wouldn't report this story.

It reminds me of the American TV show Roots, which was about slavery in America. Any scholar of African history knew that whites almost always bought slaves from other African tribes and that African tribes were constantly in a state of war. But the series depicted Africans as living in a state of peace and tranquility until whites showed up and started collecting slaves.

As a result, to this day, there is a myth of Africans being these peaceful, noble people. As demonstrated by this Family Guy clip.

I understand that Ricochetti are obsessed with research and like to quote history books regularly, but debating Hayek vs. Von Mises won’t play in Peoria. This is why TV shows and X are more important than the best political philosophy book of the year. It’s the mainstream conversation that defines the norm.

Lastly and most importantly, how many people in Britain were unaware of these immigrant-Muslim rape gangs?

    It was in the news HERE already, several years ago, and at that time it kinda sounded like the UK people knew about it too. But maybe it was only the mayors etc, and the general public was kept in the dark. The actual victims and their families may have been threatened into silence. Including by the reports/accusations being considered some kind of "hate crime."

    I think what was operative is: threatened. Those with authority and power to protect the children were afraid they themselves/their families would be harmed. They saw the way Muslims treat non-Muslims elsewhere, heard local threats and saw what was done to the children and knew they themselves would be targeted. So they sacrificed the children. I would bet our mortgage that everyone in the towns knew what was happening. No one is invisible in neighborhoods and towns. Neighbors knew. They sacrificed children and are still protecting themselves. I give them no benefit of the doubt.

    I find it darkly amusing that so much of the European establishment is wringing its hands over Musk's influence, when what Musk does is say things that the press chooses not to say. That terrifies those who have counted on a complicit press. It should.
