A great article KK and I am so pleased you have written this. I would add that this very practice you describe, usually tarring people with the racist brush (which is what Alexander was trying to do), led to the widespread overlooking of Pakistani rape gangs and the violation of hundreds of thousands of young girls, simply because so many were so scared of being labelled racist. It is not just weak and dishonest, it is positively evil.
This"you're a racist" tactic is a double-edged sword. Every time they cut us with it, they cut themselves too. Because of the New alternative media that Konstantin is a big part of creating, the side that cuts us has dulled, and the side that cuts them continues to sharpen. They are the ones bleeding out everytime they use this sword on us, and they only have themselves to blame.
Sadly, KK, there is no arguing with such people and the baying mob one gets so often on, for example, Question Time, only cares about scoring a point in the moment. If it is expanded or walked back sometime afterwards, well, who cares? Fling enough mud and some will stick. I have no answer for you, because there is none, but please keep speaking as you do.
Fascinating how Konstantin Kisin enrages the British progressive commentariat. He didn’t emerge from the approved media ecosystem, so they declare him illegitimate – just a “YouTuber” or “Substacker”, as if those things render his commentary irrelevant.
Professional jealousy is ugly at the best of times, but here it’s mixed with status-policing and a particularly British strain of vicious snobbery. Nasty stuff.
What they won’t admit is that part of his success – beyond his obvious talent – is that he talks about the things they’ve been ignoring for years.
Textbook “regime-stenographer” behaviour, as Graham Linehan (another brilliant voice) recently noted.
I highly doubt many people will buy the nonsense from Mr Alexander, most people are fed up of these cowardly tactics to silence honest debate. Any thinking, open-minded person can find your conversation with Fraser Nelson and come to their own conclusion.
Keep on trucking KK. Your QT appearance was great, and if it's the last one, well, you certainly went out with a bang.
I LOVE your work Konstantin. The Left are on the wrong side of every argument, so all they have are distraction, diversion and character assassination. Oh along with gaslighting and outright lies of course.
Yep. Go onwards and upwards, KK! The number of people on TV who can't think or don't think are just obliviously searching for opportunities to make their thought processes look inadequate, so when they come up against the articulate and well-informed types such as you and Matt Goodwin, then their only recourse seems to be "editing", i.e. deliberately slanted censorship which is just proof on top of proof that they can't coolly and reasonably put forward a strong position when everything is built on the foundation of feathers and sand, the post-modernist and socialist. And I'm not saying we shouldn't have a sane, and democratic, left wing opposition - God knows we need one - but the present-day lunatics have wrecked more than enough. Compassion, okay, suicidal empathy no, alternative policies, okay, civilization- and culture- destruction, no.
I remember being outraged when watching Question Time when Alexander attempted this smear on you KK - thankfully it was absolutely clear what he was trying to do, and you handled it extremely well and held your cool. Many would have been so angry and would have shown it, but you stayed calm and called him out on the idiocy of his claim. My DiL is Ukrainian, her mother now living with them in the UK, is originally from Moscow. My grandchildren are not entirely English as a result, but yes like your children they are British. My DiL considers herself Ukrainian, her mother considers herself Russian. So many are unable to realise that cultural and racial heritage is not the same as one’s citizenship. It is unbelievable how ignorant & arrogant some are on this matter. I am so glad you’ve written this article. They were rattled by your reasoning and supportive background knowledge, and of course on this particular subject matter your heritage is a benefit. Imagine what would have happened as a white English person saying the same about Sunak. It is all so immensely sad.
My subscription to your Substack keeps me sane - best money spent. Thanks for being there with continued sense and reasoning.
Well articulated KK, you know you've rattled them when they resort to smear tactics.
What I found amusing regarding some of the smears on X yesterday from the likes of former MSM hacks like David Aaronovitch was they seem to be oblivious to the fact that day by day they're becoming less relevant, or perhaps that's what annoys them the most.
Going forward you will have to expect more of the same, particularly when they're on their safe and friendly MSM home ground.
Meanwhile Starmer (never here) is in China licking the ring of the leader (for how much longer following the mass purging of the top generals) of the communist country he appears to be trying to emulate. It was sad to see the leader of our once great-ish nation unable to play the protocol game and being treated like a tourist…. Pathetic doesn’t begin to cover it!
Konstantin, you say that Francis' ex told you once that, What is bad for Britain and the West is good for Triggernometry." This is like telling a doctor, " Bad health is bad for people, but good for the doctor. It keeps him in business." What a load of rubbish. There will always be sick people, and doctors will always be needed. There will always be bad Politics and lies that need exposing; this space and Triggernometry will always be needed. Yes, some bad doctors keep their patients sick, like the Transing of children, to keep relevant, just like New Media has Candice Owen keeping her audience sick to keep relevant.
You are not a bad "doctor". You say the Podcast vote system is self-serving to podcasters. But, if someone is treated by one doctor but never gets better, only worse, are alternative medical practitioners self-serving when they advise people to get a second opinion?
If we go with your Alcoholic analogy, then yes, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. However, even if we hit rock bottom, that is not going help recovery if we have a friend, "government and legacy media", handing us a bottle all the time. The only reason why your statement, " good news, things are getting bad, is because we have another friend ", New Media, Triggernometry", to convince us to pour the contents of the bottle down the drain. If we didn't have this space, it wouldn't be good news, and Britain would be properly screwed.
Because of New Media, can you still call us the Silent Majority?
Konstantin, why is that?
I can do one better than Francis' ex. What is good for Triggernometry is good for Britain.
It is self-serving because it serves Britain too. Go full throttle on the Podcast vote direction and knock down anyone who gets in your way. If you get filthy rich in the process, then good for you. We need more successful Brits in Britain.

Good point! Thanks Dom.

Well put
I've been reading your posts for free for a while. After this one, I became a paying subscriber. KK, thank you for holding the liars accountable.
Thank you for your support!
You go Konstantin!
Love your work!

I and many others have your back.

After watching your epic performance on QT I had to subscribe. What a sane voice for these insane times. With you all the way.
Thank you!

I think you are right, that what you are saying is very important and I just bought a 1 year subscription.
Thank you!
