361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

In fact, I think it's really striking.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

I should say, paint a picture for those people who haven't seen it.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

She's quite rather charismatic as many people on the extremes are, certainly in leadership positions.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

Her age, her ability to galvanize and win over the cohorts of the people who are inclined to sympathize is extraordinary.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

Alas, it's dedicated to this very exclusionary vision of a greater Israel that takes over not just the West Bank and Gaza, as we see in the film, but in fact, I think she'd like parts of Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and so on.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

But she'll speak to anyone.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And I think, in fact, when she pushes me...

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

It's almost, I want to say this hesitantly, she pushes me, I should say, as a way of illustrating when I ask her, you know, is she not troubled by the actions of settler extremists, these people who are on video going about torching, intimidating, attacking, shooting Palestinians?

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

I said, you've seen this, this is going on all the time.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And she says, well, that's only ever a reaction.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And you're only seeing half the story.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

That's in reaction to something probably much more horrific that's taking place.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And for example, if I push you and she pushes me, you're going to push me back.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And then surprise, surprise, I choose not to push her back.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

I wish you would push me.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

But the other revealing thing, because I met her on three occasions on that trip.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And the first interview is at her house.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

And I mentioned to her that moving civilian populations into an area that's under military occupation is considered a war crime, as I understand.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

Yeah, I mean, you're very brave.

Empire: World History
361. Louis Theroux On The Settlers, The Manosphere, & Tribalism

You go straight out and put it to her.
