This is like a guy telling a comedian that he's not really funny... and then tells a knock-knock joke. If you like...and not a very funny knock-knock joke.

Judaism is a religion. And "white" is a race. I'm calling Israel an Ashkenazi ethnostate because it is. And I never said South Africa was an ethnostate. I said it was a fascist state. Israel is dominated by Ashkenazis from Europe. It is by definition an Ashkenazi ethnostate. Religion and land deeds from god are fantasy. No. Almost every country is dominated by a specific ethnicity. That doesn't make them ethnostates. What makes an ethnostate is the denial of citizenship for anyone otther than that group. Which Israel doesn't do. So by definition its not an ethnostate. No, educate yourself. Even a country like Japan is an ethnostate. Shinto is the national religion and the Emperor is believed to be descended from the gods. Japan allows open immigration. Israel allows any Jew to become an automatic citizen. It does not grant that privilege to other religions and Palestinians whose parents were born in Israel do not have that privilege. Israel is a fascist ethnostate.

Ah "educate yourself" the warcry of the terminally ignorant. Arabs can be Israeli citizens, thus is is not an ethno state.

I despise the nanny state. Thats a lot of topics, so I guess I'll have to be brief on each. Immigration. In Europe its our of control and unsustainable and seems ideologically driven, since the economic argument for it is utter nonsense. It needs drastically reducing or Europe will se serious civil violence Citizenship is more an American thing that doesn't really come up over here. Abortion, I personally don't like it, but recognise that its not my choice to make, so it should be legal up until a certain point. Drugs. Conflicted. I recognise that it should be a persons choice what they put in their body, but there is no benefit to any drug, they are all harmful to the indicidual and to society at large. War. I mean it entirely depends on why we are fighting The economy, individuals need to be as free as possible. Property rights are inalienable, but large corporations need to be regulated to prevent them preying on citizens and small companies. Prisons need reform. Minor offenders shouldn't be in the same places as hardened criminals, they are also not places of punishment, but should attempt to rehabilitate people. Trans. Adults can larp as the opposite sex if they like, but they are not the opposite sex and shouldn't be able the spaces and services designed for the opposite sex. Gender ideology should be nowhere near schools. I'm unsure what you mean by "establishment" and I'm not American so have little opinion on funding laws or the constitution. Churchill. Well, I dont know how it works in the UK but I have German citizenship because of my father as the father is important over there as I understand it. How flexible are you with this? Or say a woman gives birth over another country's airspace on a plane? Im ok with abortion myself but I do understand the other side of it even if a little I duno..self-righteous..maybe that's not the right word..maybe it will come to me later.. For harmful are you talking about all drugs or just the illicit ones? What about some hallucinogens? Apparently theyve healed some people from past trauma and addictions. Medical cannabis? How do you feel about it? For pain? Agree with prisons. Well are there any issues you have with what is it common law/torts/founding laws over there? Any major things that should be changed to improve the individual rights of citizens, that cant be taken away unless by a referendum or whatever. Over here it's a constitution and referenda. Was the Magna Carta more than just stripping power from the King? Unelected bureaucracy and career politicians who may or not be working together as a uni party? The media as well possibly? BBC? Do you think there is enough separation of powers and not too concentrated, or held too long that they become swamp creatures? I hope Im making sense ha To be honest the citizenship doesn't bother me that much. A person born here is British and I'll accept anyone as UK citizen that moved here at a oung age and then gained it. Drugs I'm talking about illicit drugs. While some benefit may derive from medical applications, thats not what is happening when someone shoots up, or smokes three spliffs then drives to ASDA cos they are hungry. One specific law I object to is the Communications Act 2007. Ridiculously subjective law. I mean look at this shit So trolling, making jokes etc is illegal in Britain. Our laws on stuff like this are shit and often abused by the police, who often deliberately confuse different parts of Acts to arrest people for speech. Saw one the other day where a Met police officer informed a street preacher that if anyone heard his Christian teachings and was caused Alarm or distress, then the preacher was breaking the law. This is incorrect, the officer was talking shite and doesn't understand the law. And we have no written constitution, so we don't have the protections you guys have, because government cannot make laws that bind future governments. All laws can be repealed. Most of our institutions are captured by far left nonsense. Up until recently, every police service, the fire service, the NHS were all paid up members of Stonewalls "Diversity Champion" scheme, until Stonewall took a hit over what they had done to kids. DEI is everywhere over here, to the point that the British Army issued advice of spotting the "far right" in the ranks and listed "patriotism" as a red flag. In the fucking ARMY. All of the above have been sued for discrimination against white men. In the UK....

As if an ethnostate must be 100% of any ethnicity. It merely means, as I showed you with Japan, that an ethnostate is primarily centered around one group. Arabs are second class citizens in Israel as illustrated by the "Law of Return" which grants immediate citizenship to any Jew from anywhere in the world with no previous connection to Israel whatsoever. Arabs whose families lived in Israel for centuries are not given that same right.

I've never seen the remake. I was skeptical at first, but its director Takashi Miike is no joke. I'm more open to it now. I'd lend you my copy of Samurai Rebellion if I could. I lobbied hard to get it from a video store that closed a few years ago and sold off its stock. It's similar to Harakiri (same director and all, who also did Kwaidan and the Human Condition trilogy). It's a slow-moving injustice piece where samurai honour is about the only moral fiber in the joint. Samurai Rebellion is available from my public library. I will put it on my list. I have been meaning to watch The Human Condition for quite some time, but the total runtime scares me! It's intimidating but worth it! (imo) I think they're (each, and as a total) the movie equivalent of reading a really good book.

Thus Israel is not an ethnostate and neither is Japan. Don't blame me for correcting you when you misuse terms.

Where do you see the UK socially in 50 years?.. will the demographic shift/collapse alter it dramatically in that time?.... or will the trends change and all will eventually adapt to western ideals?

Rubbish. By that definition there are no ethnostates. Define one then. I already did. It's a nation like Japan which is overwhelmingly Japanese and has aspects of Japanese culture and history enshrined in its national image.
