I found it an inspiring video. Instead of commenting on the timestamps as I initially intended, I ended up writing much more.

Zemmour begins by addressing what is in all but name anomie. Anomie denotes certain strange, negative feelings that all of us here have probably felt. It involves feeling unsynchronized with one's milieu, of feeling that one would be better off in a different time or place.

For us, in our time and place, it is the homelessness that one feels when the stranger has his own home, but is also a squatter wrongly considered a 'co-owner' of your own. You do not even want him there, and yet the stranger is changing your home against your will, perhaps even irreversibly; furthermore, you know that he increasingly threatens you within it. As he grows in numbers, in authority, in power, you also know that your home will eventually become his and that you will then be homeless. He will have two homes and you will have none. You want these problems to end in a new social order so that you will feel synchronized again. But nobody will even mention it, nobody will even listen. One may reason that they must all be blind, deaf and dumb. And yet there are many that do see it, but yet they support it. You feel you have no choice but to despair.

It matters not where you go: hospital, school, street, train; nothing is truly yours. It is you who is the foreigner, the alien; when you walk outside and look at the faces of the new 'co-owners' whom you yourself never invited, when you turn on the radio or television and hear their foreign accents and languages. If they were to speak ill of you in their foreign tongues, you would not even know it. They can hate you openly, and yet you cannot do anything to them.

Advertisements, movies, posters, television programs... we are exceedingly nowhere to be found within all of them. It is, or was, our home... but it is inhabited by, and run for, others.

1:00 - You remember the places in which you grew up; the places your ancestors told you about; the places you see in old photographs; and read of in old books. Which of them is not changing for the worse, you ask? Only for others to smugly tell you that you view the past through rose-tinted lenses, that it was somehow worse than this dystopia. Could it not be that, for them, dystopia is their utopia, just as wickedness is their righteousness? That it is the product of their contempt for, and ignorance of, the past, and of their replacement of historical truth with historical revisionism?

To confirm our suspicions, Zemmour reminds us all of the things France has lost. There is no modern Descartes nor Pasteur, not even a Voltaire nor Rousseau. What great man who is French lives today?

2:27 - Here, Zemmour speaks as though he reads our minds. He also knows that we feel anomie. The 121,000 who have liked the original video in the last 20 hours feel it, too. He hints at our self-censoriousness, and at censoriousness more generally. Many do not say what they think because they are socialized to believe that such thoughts are wrong; and even of those who break free from this conditioning, practically all will still not say what they think because of the reactions they anticipate from the many who have not.

Because Zemmour is a Jew, he can safer say aloud that which we think. A man of obvious immigrant descent saying these things makes them seem less taboo.

3:10 - The unelected bureaucrats in Brussels; the talking heads in France's media; the quackademics in French universities. They are merely some of those who are complicit.

I do get the impression from this speech that he's 'too good to be true'. The vision that he offers us is one that we cannot even offer ourselves because we cannot say even a tenth of what he has said in public. He thus seems like he is playing the role of a saviour who has arrived at a perfect time to save a nation and people who cannot save themselves. He even sounds like he's emulating our language: at 8:23, he even uses the words, "We will not be replaced". Does he hint at... The Great Replacement? Is it... a 'racist dogwhistle'?

I think Zemmour himself is legit. He's been in this too long and fell afoul of the law too many times to be someone who is uncommitted. He has distributed many red pills and awoken many people, for which he should be thanked. The problem is whether someone is using him merely to divide the vote, or to reduce 'Right-wing anti-Semitism' by empowering one of the very few seemingly good ones so that they can then say: 'See, we're not always subversive!'. Either way, France is so far down the toilet that it is difficult to envisage Zemmour worsening things more than his rivals. Macron is the evil we know; Melenchon is the evil we can safely predict; Zemmour is something of a wild card. So what does France have left to lose? The Zemmour train cannot be much worse than the Trump train, for Trump was practically controlled by Kushner and others of Zemmour's kind, anyway. Americans elected one goy surrounded by Jews; so who can blame the French if they elect one Jew surrounded by goys? Those who board the Zemmour train cannot be worse than the Americans who boarded the Adelson, Kushner, etc. 'Trump' train.

Possibly too cynical, but had to stop a couple minutes in. Too perfect. Like our US backstabber installed to demonize Whites, he was going to drain the swamp and make everything great again. Yup, America is so wonderful now.

Can that guy be real? Has he been vetted by the cabal, or does he have 'the talk' coming his way if he's elected?

A study put rats in a water container they couldn't escape. They quit swimming and drown after about an hour. Next set of rats, same deal. But... As they were drowning, they were rescued and cared for, fed, and etc. Then they were put back in the water. This time, they had hope, and kept swimming for 80 hours... Until they finally ran out of energy and drown.

Possibly unrelated.

I'm thinking more about the political classes and other power players using him unwittingly, allowing him to grow so that he can fulfill some sort of function. Zemmour has been in legal trouble for 'incitement of racial discrimination', 'incitement to hatred of Muslims', and a few similar things, so I don't think he is wittingly part of some deliberate plot. The political classes hate him.

I think the most likely function he might unwittingly fulfill is that 'Right-wing anti-Semitism' might decline as a result of an unusual 'good' Jew being voted into power. They would then point to Zemmour to say that people who think that Jews are behind communism, libertarianism, and 'progressivism' are just conspiracy nuts. The result would be a more 'Jew-friendly' Right. Israel needs this because they've been trying to realign themselves with groups like Austria's FPO and Germany's AfD and away from Leftist groups that are becoming ever-more sympathetic to Palestine and causes like the BDS movement because they see Israel as a White supremacist state bombing poor browns. It might even be working. Austria's previous FPO leader (Strache) visited Israel and Netanyahu despite some Jews kvetching about FPO being 'Nazis'. AfD stood a Jewish homosexual in Berlin during the last election.

The flip side is that 'Left-wing anti-Semitism' would also increase, with them increasingly analogizing Israel to Nazi Germany or Apartheid South Africa. We know that the Elves are deeply concerned about 'Left-wing anti-Semites'. They practically single-handedly destroyed Jeremy Corbyn in the last UK election by labeling him one simply because Corbyn is sympathetic to groups like Hamas. UK Labour got its worst electoral defeat in 84 years as a result of the media constantly bitching about his supposed 'anti-Semitism'. But if Israel wants to realign itself with groups like AfD, FPO and France's RN, they'd just see an increase in 'Left-wing anti-Semitism' as a fait accompli, as to be expected.

Of course, they might not even think that far ahead. The most simple explanation is that they're simply scared of a Le Pen victory, unable to understand that Le Pen isn't her father. The same thing happens in Sweden, where they simply can't understand that the Sweden Democrats are no longer Far-Right. Le Pen is polling best against Macron, followed by Bertrand with Zemmour a distant third. They might simply need someone to outflank Le Pen from the Right to best take away votes from her and ensure that she simply doesn't make it into the second round.
