(Twitter Link) Konstantin Kisin: Speech at the Oxford Union is finally available. The debate was "This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far"

That was the first I've ever heard of this guy. I'm going to follow on Twitter and do some research.

Any background on him, other than having to watch the video?

From is Amazon page: For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West—and Britain—today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.

After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

I came across this same speech on Gab. I wanted to create a post because this fellow was so good. Fortunately I was able to find your post after a search saved me the trouble of posting. He reminds me of Yakov Smirnoff.

He is awesome. I wish I could boost this thread so more Freepers would see it.
