In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics.
We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge.
The discussion moves beyond economics into culture and psychology, examining performative guilt, self-righteousness, and what Shriver calls the narcissism at the heart of modern progressive ideology. We explore why national identity has been hollowed out, why anti-border politics often coexists with hyper-individualism, and how the collapse of religious faith has left a moral vacuum filled by activism.
We also debate falling birth rates, the status of motherhood, childlessness, and whether Western societies can survive demographic decline without either restoring cultural confidence or radically transforming themselves. Shriver argues that a civilisation unwilling to reproduce itself cannot expect to endure.
A provocative and deeply philosophical conversation about immigration, identity, family, and whether the West still believes in itself.

Inversion of the menstrual cycle? 27 days on and 1 day off?
Sans, of course, the very few who take action (i.e. trying to run over ICE agents).
Several commentators have noted that women who have abortions suffer lifelong trauma (at least at the subconscious level).
Their craziness aligns with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
“We also debate falling birth rates, the status of motherhood, childlessness, and whether Western societies can survive demographic decline without either restoring cultural confidence or radically transforming themselves.”
The answer to that is obviously “NO”!
Women are natural, inherent, nurturers.
If they don’t have children, this desire flows out to whatever given cause is handy.
Could be cats.
Could be muslim savages.
"It's simple... I think of a man, and I take away Reason, and Accountability."
(From the movie "As Good As It Gets", with Jack Nicholson playing the author, Melvin Udall.)
100% spot on.
I was on one of those telephone town halls with Ron Johnson yesterday. You should have heard all the liberal women just fabricating foolishness to rant about as they went along with all of them using the same script.
SJWs claiming that they were helping someone else when it was obvious it was just about the chance to virtue signal for 1500ish people.
I understand that people may make mistakes, people may misunderstand, but the imaginary events they were pulling out of their butt to rage about only went to show that we need a more comprehensive mental health care system. I have no doubt someone was getting abused in one way or another by these clowns.
Ron did a good job explaining things and using the Bozo button when necessary. I dont think I could have absorbed all of that.
In all cases, the abortion continues to have a negative impact on their lives.

The majority of them have very serious mental issues. Those who drive their cars into Federal officials should be shot or at least locked up.
If the women here wrote about men in the way the men write about women, the fragile male egos would be devastated.
The men here seem oblivious to the fact that women are HERE, probably in greater numbers than the men; and the men seem blind to the failings of their own sex.
The constant, blanket female bashing is getting very old, and speaks to a real lack of self-awareness on the part of the men.
Agreed.
AWFL bump for later.....
The sad truth is that all the sh-t believed by liberals they learned from education programs paid for by taxes
This place is very restrained in the comments about women.
The manosphere is the real deal—the picture of women it paints is not just worse than you imagine, it is worse than you can imagine.
That said—all of life seems to operate on a normal curve.
That means that for every rule—no matter how useful—there are always exceptions.
What helps young men a lot is to understand the normal curve and what they are dealing with on a day to day basis.
Then they can spot the exceptions (both positive and negative) and react accordingly.
Meanwhile, polls (if you can believe any of that) tell us that a majority of women who bother to vote, vote for democRATs. They also tell us that a majority of men who bother to vote, vote for Republicans.
Election campaigns tell us that virtually all politicians are worried about not offending women with their positions on "women's issues" ... and that "women's issues" is a euphemism for abortion on demand at any time.
I get that you're not a 'Rat ... and that you don't approve of slaughtering babies in utero ... but that, like it or not, puts you in a minority of women who bother to vote in these United States.
If they’ll routinely kill their own children, they won’t think twice about killing you.

Maybe the Taliban is onto something... :)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
That's cute ... I bet you actually believe that ...
