Joel Nancarrow has turned his hobby of shark fishing in Newcastle into a thriving and hugely popular business. Authoritarian shark huggers hate him for it, he tells me in this rare interview.
Performative self congratulatory virtue signalling has become our new national sport. The rush to save the poor cuddly misunderstood sharks is just an example. From climate change gestures, to welcomes to country, to Maugean skates and blue banded bees. What these things have in common is that their efforts, even if they were successful, offer no significant benefit to the environment, and are frequently harmful to society, as in this case. The problem is that almost no one is prepared to call them out, for fear of being attacked by the strident left. This is the genesis of the the rise of One Nation, and sadly I predict none of the mainstream political,or media figures will ever have the courage to call out the fact that we are being fed blatant lies.
The Green religion and the philosophy of depopulation has created a sanctimonious class who might be aligned with a belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race. Preservation of the predatory sharks, snakes and crocodiles are symbols of the ideology.
This is absolutely wild - of course all the sjw (shark justice warrior) stuff is unbelievably asinine, but this guy is crazy! Those sharks are huge! This is what the rest of the world wants from aussies - we need more of these awesome crazy men.
I don't want to up the sharks on the food chain -- because humans and sharks simply don’t experience attachment the same way. Sharks birth and move on. Humans spend decades loving, protecting, sacrificing, and raising children into adults. So then, hopefully, we can watch our kids raise children of their own.
So yes, while I absolutely care about the environment and the role humans have played in disrupting it through overfishing our oceans, I’d also quite like my son to stay alive in the water long enough for me to meet my grandkids one day.
Nancarrow understood something most businesses never learn. Authenticity cannot be faked. He turns down clothing sponsorships because his audience would see through it. He does not post about the charity work because posting about it would ruin it. He built a following by being exactly who he is. That is rare. That is valuable. That is the whole moat. The market rewards real. Eventually. Good piece. Good read. Good lesson.
The Western world is full of charlatan naturalists. These people have financial interests - and their huge egos - invested in ‘re-wilding’.
They have closed minds, and can be compared to the refugee activists who insist on the non-negotiable notion of ‘kindness’ and end up raped and murdered by an animal that they invited into their home……
……..naturalists will entertain ZERO alternative views to their insistence that nature and animals have superior value to human life. In doing so they create incredible damage to human life and settlement, and also destroy the balance of the environment that they seek to protect.
Yes they are that stupid.
> Australian idiots whose ‘efforts’ have procured increased human deaths in the water. The same kind of idiot banned fire-breaks in country parks, thereby significantly increasing the damage done by bush fires.
> British fools who banned the ancient practice of draining the Somerset Levels (and even flooded parts of it) to ‘benefit’ bird-life…….succeeded only in procuring devastating floods in 2013-14. Floods which, in addition to inundating human settlement, and causing vast economic damage, also killed tens of thousands of birds and animals.
> Euro-clowns who want to re-introduce the wolf…….choosing to completely ignore why our ancestors drove them out, stating that wolves ‘had a right’ to exist.
> Global retards or wicked eugenicists who insist that the world is ‘over-populated’ (when in fact every human on earth could stand shoulder to shoulder in Maryland)…….so these people set about measures to kill humans and limit life-spans.

Bloody oath. Joel should be a national treasure.
Yup, I'm with you and Joel, Fred.

Where the water is too cold for the aggressive sharks you can guarantee there will still be floating mounds of crap from the pajeets.
Stay on dry land in Australia
Great read - TY.

These people are EXTREMISTS.
Great interview.
Thanks mate. It was a joy to chat with him.
Good on him, saving lives, bloody legend!
