The New Culture Forum (NCF) is a think tank founded by nationalist UKIP politician Peter Whittle.

The video in question is an interview with KCL war and "fortifications" specialist David Betz, who forecasts civil war outbreaks in the Western world, and praises Hungary as an island of sanity.

The amount of racist violent rhetoric in the comments is disturbing, and the chosen topic of a civil war, is not a good look for the supporters of these ideas. Long story short, there are numerous people in the comments seething to shed blood because they don't like seeing brown people in their midst.

The comments echo the aftermath of the widespread far-right anti-immigrant riots last August in England and Northern Ireland. The comment section reeks of the white supremacist Great Replacement theory.

Whittle's NCF seems to be embedded in an ecosystem of consent manufacturing right-wing, fossil fuel lobbying think tanks, active in the UK, and linked to conservative politicians.

For context, it was recently reported that Musk showed an interest to interfere in British far-right politics.

We can at least conclude that there are some powerful consent manufacturing apparatuses at play in England, and an invigorated far-right dynamic and anti-immigrant sentiment.

This is some scary stuff.

Shady actors like these do not pour their money in a Western democracy for no good reason, and it is only plausible that some shit is going down in a country where the political weaponization of trans people by the conservative party, has led to an early implementation of the anti-transgender health policy legislation now considered central in the US fascist takeover.
