Listen to this episode from heretics. on Spotify. 🔥 The Moral Case for DEPORTATION. Lionel Shriver — the outspoken author of We Need to Talk About Kevin — joins me to explore one of the most controversial ideas in modern politics: the moral case for deportation. In this no-holds-barred conversation, we tackle immigration, national identity, and whether Western nations have the right to set limits on who stays and who goes.* GET HER ACCLAIMED NEW BOOK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mania-latest-novel-award-winning-author/dp/0008658714/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 *Shriver reflects on the cultural and political shifts that have made it taboo to discuss border control openly, and why she believes fiction writers, publishers, and progressives have abandoned honest dialogue in favor of virtue-signaling and silence. From the role of elites to the collapse of independent thinking in publishing, this is Lionel Shriver at her most candid.🎙️ We talk:- Why mass immigration isn’t always virtuous- The fear of being labelled “far-right”- What happens when truth becomes hate speech- The future of free expression in literature and beyond#ImmigrationDebate #LionelShriver #FreeSpeech Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok  Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_okHeretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldhereticsChapters:0:00 Lionel Shriver Highlights1:15 Is the Woke Mind Virus Ending?4:15 Cultural Appropriation Insanity5:55 Bill Maher Believes Gender Woo-Woo7:15 Protecting Relationships10:15 Fascinating Concept!13:45 Manias on the Right & Trump17:35 The Sieg Heiling19:30 We Need to Talk About Kevin (Trans Obsessed Actors)21:15 Lionel Shriver, JK Rowling, Kathleen Stock25:15 Atonement & Ian McEwan vs MeToo27:05 Was ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’ Anti-Woke?29:15 Not Having Children Has Been Normalised32:15 What Happiness Really Is36:15 What If You DON’T Love Your Child (Kevin)39:15 Publisher Employees Won’t Stop My Books!41:15 Why Books Get Immigration Wrong44:15 Refugees Can Live at Celebrities’ Homes!46:15 New York Just 30% “Local”48:15 Islam in UK51:15 Following Immigrant Rules54:15 Why Lionel Feels Cheated58:00 The Left Don’t Get This1:02:25 A Heretic Lionel Admires Learn more about your ad choices.
