It's interesting. The actual words of the poem by Kipling are a little different. The modified version that Stefan Molyneux reads is much more popular on the internet now.

The real name of the poem is "The Beginnings" not "The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon", as is claimed for the altered version.

I don't know who made the changes, or why, but from Googling it seems to be popular on White Nationalist sites. For instance the first one that comes up a Google search is the site Men of the West, which describes itself as "Hard Right".

More reputable sites, like Project Gutenberg, show the poem with its original name and words, like here: The Project Gutenberg eBook, A Diversity of Creatures, by Rudyard Kipling

Yours in factual accuracy,

Gee, whatever happened to "revise and extend" -- I mean, it can't be cultural appropriation by the alt-right.

(Or, as the Biblical "scholars" call it, narrative fluidity, adapting the story to meet the audience and the rhetorical need of the day.)

Yours in factual accuracy,

Well, thank you for that Jack. I didn't know there was any difference. I've seen the poem in written form. I thought posting a video of a reading would be different and more entertaining.

But you do see my point in posting it, right?

I think it's BDT that the people of England (the Saxons) stood up to the muslification of their country.

The arrest and persecution of Tommy Robinson makes him a martyr and could be the catalyst for England's own #Awakening.

Let it be so.

p.s. Not sure that any neo-Nazi reference is appropriate in this case.

You can’t stop us
On the road to freedom
You can’t stop us
‘Cuz our eyes can see
Men of insight
Men of granite
Knights in armor
Intent on chivalry
- Van Morrison (ca. 1969)
