- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to technical difficulties with the Badgers. This
- 0:08Speaker 1: is I am.
- 0:15Speaker 2: It would be inappropriate at this.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Point there we go, Yeah, welcome to Hannah has a
- 0:22Speaker 1: new microphone and doesn't know how to use it. I'm
- 0:24Speaker 1: just kidding. Uh, but we are on HBr Talk three
- 0:31Speaker 1: forty eight. There is no try only do. I'm your host,
- 0:37Speaker 1: Hannah Wallen here with nonsense annihilator Lauren Brooks and the
- 0:39Speaker 1: personification of my perceptivity Mike Stevenson, and tonight we've got
- 0:44Speaker 1: to talk about that blind spot and it's it's kind
- 0:47Speaker 1: of a big one. Guys are much more not sneaky
- 0:53Speaker 1: on purpose, much more. Okay, now they're saying you're too quiet.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Mike's quiet in here do.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Quiet ten on each.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But uh no, I was gonna says guys are. Guys
- 1:14Speaker 1: are much more genuine a lot of times than women are.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Women are sneaky. We are sneaky folks, And it's it's
- 1:22Speaker 1: probably an evolution.
- 1:26Speaker 2: They say women play games, but I'm like, I'll play
- 1:29Speaker 2: your game.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Yeah, when when guys decide, they yeah, exactly, women play
- 1:35Speaker 1: games all the time. When guys play, they win. And
- 1:40Speaker 1: then and I have I have been on the receiving
- 1:42Speaker 1: end of that. I have been outsmarted by well, my
- 1:45Speaker 1: husband out smarts me, but that's a little bit more fun.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I actually kind of enjoy that because that's that's that's
- 1:55Speaker 1: one of my turn ons. So there you go. But
- 2:01Speaker 1: getting into the nitty gritty here, sometimes it allows women
- 2:04Speaker 1: to take advantage of you. When women try to out
- 2:07Speaker 1: smart you by being cutesy and innocent and victimy and
- 2:11Speaker 1: all that, and yeah, you kind of feel sorry for them.
- 2:16Speaker 1: That is the first step down the pathway to getting fleeced.
- 2:20Speaker 1: And we're going to talk about a couple of ways
- 2:23Speaker 1: in which that plays out. And I have an article
- 2:26Speaker 1: I'm going to read to sort of set the tone.
- 2:29Speaker 1: But before we get into all of that, we still
- 2:33Speaker 1: got to do what we gotta do. So, as always,
- 2:38Speaker 1: Honey Badger Radio dishes out a Morgas board of thought
- 2:42Speaker 1: provoking discussions and as experiences both recent and long past,
- 2:46Speaker 1: they've demonstrated the provoked thoughts are fighting back. They've made
- 2:50Speaker 1: it clear that for people like us relying on third
- 2:52Speaker 1: party payment platforms to support our work, to fund our work,
- 2:55Speaker 1: it's treading on dead ice or building our house in
- 2:58Speaker 1: the path of a rapidly growing wildfire. So in light
- 3:03Speaker 1: of this, if you feel like we've earned your support,
- 3:05Speaker 1: then we strongly encourage our supporters to switch at least
- 3:09Speaker 1: their support for us to feed the Badger dot com
- 3:12Speaker 1: the most stable way to help us out. And if
- 3:15Speaker 1: you want to tip us directly instead of relying on
- 3:17Speaker 1: any social media platforms, tip jar. The link for that
- 3:21Speaker 1: is feed the Badger dot com slash just a tip
- 3:24Speaker 1: And as always, the same risk applies to our social
- 3:26Speaker 1: media platforms, which is why you should further provoke the
- 3:29Speaker 1: thought police by tracking our thought provoking discussions on Honeybadger
- 3:33Speaker 1: Brigade dot com, where you can find your way to
- 3:36Speaker 1: all of our content, as well as a link to
- 3:38Speaker 1: feed the Badger dot com in the dropdown menu at
- 3:40Speaker 1: the top of the page. And with that, before I
- 3:45Speaker 1: get into anything, I did not open the superchows because
- 3:51Speaker 1: I was fiddling with stuff that I don't usually have
- 3:55Speaker 1: to fiddle with. There we go. So we did get
- 3:58Speaker 1: a superchow from merediths Gee already she sent us five
- 4:02Speaker 1: dollars and said, HBr talk three forty eight Honey for
- 4:06Speaker 1: the Badgers, and better make sure that I also have
- 4:12Speaker 1: the rumble chat opened. Because I don't want to miss anything. Yeah, yep,
- 4:19Speaker 1: and so far it just tells me I started out
- 4:22Speaker 1: with no sound. So I do have a new microphone,
- 4:25Speaker 1: new micudis. But hopefully it sounds good.
- 4:31Speaker 2: It does, it's it's it's quite chocolatesy.
- 4:34Speaker 1: It's quite different from my old You.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Have that headset thing that makes you sound like a
- 4:40Speaker 2: sport's commentated from the seventies. But yeah, you're quite clear
- 4:45Speaker 2: and lovely.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Now, good, good, that's that's good. Maybe I'll make make
- 4:50Speaker 1: this the microphone I use for making my videos from
- 4:53Speaker 1: now on. Then I had been using a Yetti, which
- 4:58Speaker 1: I have had, I think pretty much for the last
- 5:05Speaker 1: six or seven years now I've been using that. But yeah, yes,
- 5:12Speaker 1: the YouTube chat is on. Yeah, and Jen Bottle says
- 5:19Speaker 1: one mentor he had said that when women come out
- 5:22Speaker 1: to engage, they come to play, women come out, they
- 5:24Speaker 1: come out to kill the Now when when women don't
- 5:26Speaker 1: realize this and that is true, but when women come
- 5:30Speaker 1: out a lot of times they also don't tell you
- 5:34Speaker 1: when they come out to play, and you think that
- 5:37Speaker 1: they're being straightforward, that's.
- 5:39Speaker 2: How suspiciously, how suspiciously like that feminist phrase that men
- 5:46Speaker 2: are afraid that women are going to make fun of them,
- 5:48Speaker 2: and women are afraid that men are going to kill them. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 2: so I have to push back against that in some way.
- 5:56Speaker 2: No women come out to play, as in, they get
- 5:59Speaker 2: some other and some other men to kill you, and
- 6:04Speaker 2: men generally do their best to actually talk to you.
- 6:09Speaker 2: It doesn't quite work out because they go it's fine,
- 6:12Speaker 2: it's fine, it's all about communication, but there's nothing wrong,
- 6:16Speaker 2: it's fine, and then they get some other guy to
- 6:17Speaker 2: kill you. Ah, misogyny, misogyny, missogy.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I think to answer the question of men and
- 6:28Speaker 1: women is I think the answer with regard to differences
- 6:33Speaker 1: in handling playtime and men, men will play as long
- 6:36Speaker 1: as you recognize that you're just playing and you're not
- 6:41Speaker 1: doing things that are genuinely mean and genuinely hurtful. Women
- 6:50Speaker 1: don't always recognize the line between and so. And I
- 6:57Speaker 1: mean there's you know, there's joking around like I'm gonna
- 7:00Speaker 1: take your arm off and beat you with it, you know,
- 7:02Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and it's and it's rough play
- 7:05Speaker 1: verbally and stuff like that. But then there's turning i
- 7:12Speaker 1: don't know, cutty funny little jabs into playing. The dozens
- 7:20Speaker 1: when you weren't playing the dozens, right. That's that's women
- 7:25Speaker 1: will cross that line and they'll expect you to just
- 7:30Speaker 1: take it, and they get really surprised when they find
- 7:34Speaker 1: out that dudes are better at it than they are.
- 7:36Speaker 1: And then then they'll play victim when you hit back harder.
- 7:41Speaker 2: And a lot of it comes down to this difference
- 7:44Speaker 2: at a very early age that when when little boys
- 7:48Speaker 2: play with Batman toys, they imagine themselves as Batman, and
- 7:52Speaker 2: they see themselves in the role as Batman and they
- 7:54Speaker 2: become Batman. Little girls project their own personality onto their toys.
- 8:02Speaker 2: If they play with Batman, they make him sit down
- 8:05Speaker 2: at a tea party and the drink teas and eat
- 8:08Speaker 2: cookies with the joker and that. So that's that's why
- 8:13Speaker 2: we so fucked from an early age, because we're so
- 8:15Speaker 2: different from an early age. But we can, we can,
- 8:18Speaker 2: it would work around the differences somehow as al as
- 8:21Speaker 2: we you know, recognize that we that we are as
- 8:26Speaker 2: different as that from an early age, and that these
- 8:29Speaker 2: things grow into I don't know, I'm trying to translate
- 8:35Speaker 2: that into the dark area of not boys and girls
- 8:39Speaker 2: but men and women.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Well, for one thing, it makes it difficult for the
- 8:44Speaker 1: sexiest to always understand each other.
- 8:48Speaker 2: But video games are good at this because they really,
- 8:50Speaker 2: they really do bridge the gap because when boys and
- 8:52Speaker 2: girls are playing a video game together, this difference dissolves away,
- 8:58Speaker 2: and they're both like, oh, you killed me, I actually died,
- 9:01Speaker 2: because they're playing the same character and they have to
- 9:04Speaker 2: play that same character by the same rules, by the
- 9:07Speaker 2: same paradigm, Like you can't just pretend that Mario is
- 9:10Speaker 2: having a fucking tea party. No, he's I can jumping
- 9:13Speaker 2: on mushrooms and he might die.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And then your mom gets upset you killed your sister?
- 9:18Speaker 1: What the heck? Like, and the neighbors were like, what
- 9:21Speaker 1: the heck is she talking about? Back back in the
- 9:25Speaker 1: atary twenty six hundred days, what do you mean your
- 9:29Speaker 1: son killed his sister? No, no, no, no, in a
- 9:31Speaker 1: video game. But let's get on with this. This article
- 9:36Speaker 1: is just it's just a bunch of thoughts, Okay, So
- 9:39Speaker 1: it's not anything serious and not on my usual like
- 9:42Speaker 1: research stuff, so it's gonna sound a little different than
- 9:45Speaker 1: what I usually write. And it started out with a
- 9:51Speaker 1: Twitter x conversation that I didn't put into this because
- 9:56Speaker 1: I'm not trying to throw any body under the bus
- 10:00Speaker 1: that I got into arguments with. So and I'm not
- 10:03Speaker 1: going to start out talking about that argument either. So
- 10:06Speaker 1: here we go. And I did put it in the chat.
- 10:10Speaker 1: If you guys want to open it should be. It's
- 10:12Speaker 1: up now, so it should open up for you. The
- 10:15Speaker 1: first big life changing philosophy lesson I had that didn't
- 10:19Speaker 1: come from a family member or a paid educator revolved
- 10:23Speaker 1: around one of the simplest tasks, and it took me
- 10:25Speaker 1: years to recognize that I'd already heard it in a
- 10:28Speaker 1: movie when I was a kid. There is no try,
- 10:31Speaker 1: only do It was my first retail job, and as
- 10:36Speaker 1: a cashier in a dinky, little convenience store that sold
- 10:39Speaker 1: a very little bit of a crapload of different things,
- 10:43Speaker 1: I was given very little on the job training, thrown
- 10:46Speaker 1: in and expected to swim with no experience, and then
- 10:49Speaker 1: browbeaten by my manager of the store about everything I did,
- 10:53Speaker 1: as if the store was going to crumble around us
- 10:56Speaker 1: at any moment from the monstrous pressure of my sheer
- 10:58Speaker 1: and competence. Often it was as simple as insisting that
- 11:03Speaker 1: I started mopping on the wrong side of the room,
- 11:06Speaker 1: but sometimes I had to do it was more. It
- 11:09Speaker 1: had to do with more complicated stuff, and I learned
- 11:12Speaker 1: something new every time. Then she got mad at me
- 11:15Speaker 1: for being too obvious about taking mental note when what
- 11:19Speaker 1: she explained to me was new to me. There came
- 11:22Speaker 1: a point where in time where I just knew without
- 11:25Speaker 1: question that I was going to be fired. In the
- 11:28Speaker 1: middle of berating me for making a mental note out loud,
- 11:31Speaker 1: cut the bread first. After she berated me for making
- 11:34Speaker 1: the egg sandwiches and then cutting them diagonally instead of
- 11:37Speaker 1: cutting the bread first and then making the sandwiches, she asked,
- 11:42Speaker 1: why do you have to repeat everything I say? I said,
- 11:45Speaker 1: I have a lot to learn from you. It is
- 11:47Speaker 1: very different from photography, and I just want to do
- 11:50Speaker 1: it a good job.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Wait, how the hell do you cut the bread before
- 11:55Speaker 2: making the sandwich?
- 11:56Speaker 3: You can?
- 11:57Speaker 1: You take the bread knife, take your stack of slices
- 12:01Speaker 1: of bread, and you slide, you slice down through, and
- 12:06Speaker 1: then you clean up the crumbs. You set your stacks aside,
- 12:08Speaker 1: and you have these nice, tidy little triangles. She showed me.
- 12:13Speaker 1: It works really well.
- 12:14Speaker 2: But okay, I'll experiment with this. Sorry, sorry I interrupted
- 12:19Speaker 2: carrying it.
- 12:20Speaker 1: And it's very effective.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I don't understand isn't more effective, though it sounds like
- 12:25Speaker 3: a lot more.
- 12:27Speaker 1: It did to me, It really did. It did to me.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I was sure she was wrong. I was absolutely sure, Like,
- 12:33Speaker 1: what the fuck is this woman teaching me? You know,
- 12:36Speaker 1: I was just taking my the two scoops because you
- 12:38Speaker 1: had we had a uh ice cream scooper and you
- 12:42Speaker 1: scoop the uh out the sandwich filling out and put
- 12:49Speaker 1: it on the bread, and you had exactly the right amount,
- 12:51Speaker 1: and you'd spread it and it would be but it
- 12:54Speaker 1: gets it goes on. I'll go on with this. But
- 12:58Speaker 1: she said when I said, I just want to do
- 12:59Speaker 1: a good job, she said, there's your first mistake. That's
- 13:02Speaker 1: a platitude. What does it even mean? And I had
- 13:06Speaker 1: no answer. The job got a lot easier when I
- 13:10Speaker 1: stopped focusing on that platitude and started focusing on the
- 13:13Speaker 1: details of my tasks. For example, my manager explained, uh,
- 13:21Speaker 1: there you go. My manager explained, when I was cutting
- 13:24Speaker 1: the sandwiches, instead of the bread, filling was squishing out.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It made the container look messy and the sandwich look
- 13:32Speaker 1: less appetizing. We had these containers that were they were plastic,
- 13:38Speaker 1: and you put the two triangle shaped sandwiches into the container.
- 13:43Speaker 1: The container was triangle, and then we had a label
- 13:48Speaker 1: that you put over the opening. So if the filling
- 13:54Speaker 1: squished out, then it looked like, you know, the sandwich
- 13:57Speaker 1: had been squished. It didn't look so it made the
- 14:02Speaker 1: counter or container look messy and the sandwich look less appetizing.
- 14:06Speaker 1: It made it made it less likely that a customer
- 14:09Speaker 1: would pick that sandwich and buy it for lunch. It
- 14:12Speaker 1: made my workspace messy and also interrupted the flow of
- 14:16Speaker 1: my work when that's the other thing, like the next sandwich,
- 14:20Speaker 1: because now you've got egg salad on your workspace. If
- 14:23Speaker 1: you don't clean up in between sandwiches, then you get
- 14:26Speaker 1: that on the outside of the next sandwich and the next.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Every single sandwich I made looked awfully.
- 14:31Speaker 2: If you're going to cut the sandwiches like lengthways or
- 14:33Speaker 2: width ways, then you still have ninety degree angles. But
- 14:36Speaker 2: if you cutting it diagonally, it means you turn ninety
- 14:40Speaker 2: degree angles into forty five degree angles. It's really it's
- 14:45Speaker 2: difficult to stuff of filling into a forty five degree angle.
- 14:47Speaker 2: You're gonna get nothing but crust in those. But this
- 14:50Speaker 2: is this is confounding to me.
- 14:53Speaker 1: These are convenience store sandwiches, and they are classic. You
- 14:57Speaker 1: can find them all over the place, and you can
- 14:59Speaker 1: get them pre made now, like when I worked at
- 15:02Speaker 1: the gas station here in Dayton that I worked at,
- 15:06Speaker 1: those came on a truck, on a refrigerator truck, and
- 15:09Speaker 1: we didn't have to make those. But the sandwiches I made,
- 15:13Speaker 1: this would have been in the nineties, the early nineties.
- 15:19Speaker 1: These these were different, and these I had to make,
- 15:23Speaker 1: and you just we had a you know how you
- 15:27Speaker 1: you ice cake with a particular type of spatula that
- 15:30Speaker 1: looks like it was made to use to paddle people
- 15:33Speaker 1: long and skinny, or or it looks like a cricket
- 15:37Speaker 1: bat with a with a metal as the you know.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Last I got a wooden handle and it's got a
- 15:44Speaker 1: metal piece. So that's what we used to spread the sandwiches.
- 15:47Speaker 1: And you could you could make it really neat and
- 15:49Speaker 1: tidy with that, as long as you learned how to
- 15:51Speaker 1: use it properly. But but yeah, so I had made
- 15:57Speaker 1: a mess of my work. She gave me a piece
- 15:59Speaker 1: of advice, and one of those pieces of advice was
- 16:01Speaker 1: stop focusing on doing a good job and focus on
- 16:04Speaker 1: actually what you are doing. When the manager had initially
- 16:09Speaker 1: gone over the task with me. She had pulled out
- 16:11Speaker 1: a container of bread, sliced each piece, which I have
- 16:16Speaker 1: that explained wrong because when I say sliced each piece,
- 16:18Speaker 1: I mean all of them, not individually. She went down
- 16:21Speaker 1: a stack, and you just have to keep your hand
- 16:25Speaker 1: on the bread like I always put my left hand
- 16:28Speaker 1: over the corner of the stack, so I would have
- 16:32Speaker 1: like four pieces or more in my hand and my
- 16:35Speaker 1: two fingers on top, and then where the knife was slicing,
- 16:38Speaker 1: I would just go straight down through the whole thing.
- 16:40Speaker 1: And since you're slicing, you're not cutting down. It's a
- 16:45Speaker 1: serrated bread knife. It just goes straight down through and
- 16:49Speaker 1: that much pressure. Because the bread is rough, it holds
- 16:52Speaker 1: itself together it it doesn't move, and you don't get
- 16:56Speaker 1: out of place on any of the slices of bread,
- 16:59Speaker 1: and then you just set it aside. My first time,
- 17:03Speaker 1: a few times doing it, I had to slice the
- 17:05Speaker 1: bread in smaller, separate stacks, so I sliced each each
- 17:09Speaker 1: piece separately. Then then she pulled out the filling in
- 17:14Speaker 1: the containers, took the price gun dated the containers, so
- 17:17Speaker 1: everything was already set up. You don't price them afterwards,
- 17:22Speaker 1: you don't put any pressure on them. Afterwards, after you
- 17:26Speaker 1: sticker the label on, you slap it on and you
- 17:29Speaker 1: put it in the case. You don't have to mess
- 17:32Speaker 1: around with it anymore so assembly lines title style. She
- 17:37Speaker 1: titally manufactured and packaged the sandwiches and put them in
- 17:41Speaker 1: the cooler. When she showed me I hadn't paid attention
- 17:43Speaker 1: to her order of operations. I had paid attention to
- 17:46Speaker 1: the speed of her work. My sandwiches looked awful, like
- 17:49Speaker 1: brutalist architecture dropped into the midst of an old, beautifully
- 17:52Speaker 1: designed section of a city. She wanted me to mop
- 17:58Speaker 1: from across the room to the utility sink to you know,
- 18:02Speaker 1: across the room from the utility sink to the part
- 18:04Speaker 1: of the floor that was right next to it, so
- 18:06Speaker 1: that when I picked up the non rolling bucket we had,
- 18:08Speaker 1: because we didn't have one of those nice janitor buckets,
- 18:11Speaker 1: we just had a bucket and a mob and a
- 18:14Speaker 1: squeegee on the bucket, which you had to be careful
- 18:17Speaker 1: to not accidentally tip over the bucket with. This was
- 18:20Speaker 1: not a sophisticated, expensive operation. She didn't want me to
- 18:25Speaker 1: carry it across the room dribbling it on the clean
- 18:28Speaker 1: floor to go dump it out. So she had a
- 18:32Speaker 1: reason for everything, like there was no it wasn't senseless.
- 18:35Speaker 1: It was mindfulness. Mindfulness is much more important than trying
- 18:41Speaker 1: to be good. She wanted me to cut the bread first,
- 18:44Speaker 1: so many sandwiches would sell instead of going bad and
- 18:46Speaker 1: being wasted. And I was getting a lot of on
- 18:49Speaker 1: the job training that I hadn't thought of as such.
- 18:55Speaker 2: It just to cuts me. How ironic it is the
- 18:59Speaker 2: cliche of man telling a woman to make him a sandwich, when,
- 19:03Speaker 2: if anything, everyone knows how to make a sandwich. Like
- 19:07Speaker 2: boys and girls alive from the age of from the
- 19:10Speaker 2: age of ten, they know exactly how to make a sandwich.
- 19:13Speaker 2: It's the easiest thing you did to do. And by
- 19:15Speaker 2: the way, it's a form of English cuisine. By the way,
- 19:18Speaker 2: you don't like English food. We invented the sandwich sandwich
- 19:22Speaker 2: exactly well by by the servants of the other sandwich.
- 19:26Speaker 2: But Sandwich is a town in southeast England. It is
- 19:30Speaker 2: it is British cuisine, so yeah, you all love English cuisine,
- 19:34Speaker 2: And yeah, there's not a man of live who doesn't
- 19:37Speaker 2: know how to make a sandwich, and who knows exactly
- 19:39Speaker 2: how to make a sandwich exactly how he wants. Like,
- 19:42Speaker 2: if I want a complex dish like a curry, then
- 19:45Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to ask Lauren to do it for me.
- 19:47Speaker 2: But if I want a sandwich, I'll fucking make my
- 19:49Speaker 2: own sandwich. It's I don't know, I guess, yeah, but.
- 19:53Speaker 3: There is next time you come up. Next time you come,
- 19:57Speaker 3: I will have plenty of sandwich fixing.
- 20:02Speaker 2: I don't like American bread. It's full of wed that
- 20:07Speaker 2: makes it last forever.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Don't buy prepackaged store bought bread unless you go to
- 20:14Speaker 1: the bakery and get bread that was actually made in
- 20:18Speaker 1: the bakery, because the stuff that comes off of a
- 20:22Speaker 1: truck in a bag isn't real bread, it's bread flavored cake. Yeah.
- 20:29Speaker 3: And you know, I've noticed that, like opening years of
- 20:32Speaker 3: buying groceries and everything. You know, you've had a loaf
- 20:36Speaker 3: of bread that, you know, if it sat too long,
- 20:39Speaker 3: it did start to get moldy. And I'm noticing now
- 20:42Speaker 3: that it's taking a lot, a lot longer for that
- 20:46Speaker 3: process to happen, and it just scares the shit out
- 20:49Speaker 3: of me.
- 20:50Speaker 1: It turns actually turns into insulation before it gets like
- 20:57Speaker 1: this really dry, squishy weirdness to it before it gets moldy.
- 21:04Speaker 1: But now, from my perspective, I suppose bread not getting
- 21:09Speaker 1: moldy is supposedly a good thing, because I am allergic
- 21:13Speaker 1: to bread mol really badly. But we have a bread machine.
- 21:19Speaker 1: But yeah, so I'll go on with this. I wasn't
- 21:23Speaker 1: going to figure stuff out figure that stuff out by
- 21:25Speaker 1: wanting to do a good job. I'd only do a
- 21:27Speaker 1: good job if I paid real attention to what I
- 21:29Speaker 1: was being shown, gave consideration to what I was learning,
- 21:33Speaker 1: and then focus on the tasks at hand, instead of
- 21:35Speaker 1: worrying exclusively about the image I was presenting to the
- 21:39Speaker 1: manager of someone doing a good job. One of the
- 21:44Speaker 1: biggest mistakes people make is putting too much energy into
- 21:47Speaker 1: trying to be a type of person, trying to be
- 21:50Speaker 1: a good person, a strong person, a smart person, et cetera,
- 21:55Speaker 1: instead of focusing on what is right in front of them,
- 21:58Speaker 1: taking in all of the information, giving it full consideration
- 22:02Speaker 1: before drawing and acting upon any conclusions about it. It's
- 22:07Speaker 1: not that there's anything wrong with valuing virtue and trying
- 22:11Speaker 1: to embody it and center it in one's dealings with
- 22:14Speaker 1: other people. It's that focusing too hard on at one
- 22:18Speaker 1: detail of the journey, one can notice a sudden or
- 22:24Speaker 1: fail to notice sudden turns or obstacles in the road,
- 22:28Speaker 1: as well as important resources. It is a short sighted
- 22:32Speaker 1: outlook when the destination the answer to the question what
- 22:36Speaker 1: kind of life do you live? Or did you live?
- 22:39Speaker 1: Involves a sprawling complex of rooms and hallways containing a
- 22:43Speaker 1: variety of many answers about behaviors, conditions, decisions, habits gained, knowledge, relationships,
- 22:51Speaker 1: and many other aspects of your development, your treatment of yourself,
- 22:55Speaker 1: and your treatment of others. Trying to be a type
- 22:57Speaker 1: of person oversimplifies the journey as if every little decision
- 23:01Speaker 1: you can make can be standardized, duplicated, and automated. Human
- 23:08Speaker 1: beings weren't made for that, and has very little useful
- 23:10Speaker 1: application when we're dealing with other human beings. Havoc has mentioned, uh,
- 23:18Speaker 1: store bought bread will mess up your gut and give
- 23:21Speaker 1: you cancer. So I know for sure about the messing
- 23:26Speaker 1: up your gut thing that that is a absolute truth.
- 23:34Speaker 1: But but yeah, so what gut you started thinking about
- 23:39Speaker 1: that was this? This is readily apparent to me whenever
- 23:44Speaker 1: I see someone respond to criticism of someone's Shenanigans by
- 23:48Speaker 1: whipping out Handlin's razor to shave the criticism down. It's
- 23:52Speaker 1: not because it's wrong, but because ye but for the
- 23:55Speaker 1: sake of trying to be fair, trying to be nice,
- 23:57Speaker 1: or trying to be diplomatic, in other words, ignoring the
- 24:00Speaker 1: evidence for the sake of trying to be a good person.
- 24:05Speaker 1: You forgot about the actual evidence that is before you
- 24:09Speaker 1: in the moment, because you're so focused on being a
- 24:12Speaker 1: good person doing the right thing that you don't have
- 24:16Speaker 1: any focus left for an analytical examination of the person
- 24:21Speaker 1: who is trying to sell you some lovely beachfront property
- 24:24Speaker 1: in Arizona, along with a heaping load of how feminism
- 24:28Speaker 1: helps men too. And now you're trying to educate her.
- 24:34Speaker 1: While you're trying to educate her, her colleagues in the
- 24:37Speaker 1: movement are getting another law pass that will give them
- 24:40Speaker 1: another inroad to your wallet and another way of throwing
- 24:43Speaker 1: you under the bus to serve their needs. I've often
- 24:47Speaker 1: seen Handlon's razor which I misspelled here huhouser getting used
- 24:53Speaker 1: to cover for malice that the wheelder doesn't acknowledge, often
- 24:57Speaker 1: because it has meaning they don't want to deal with
- 25:00Speaker 1: this is common in discussion threads between MRAs and feminists
- 25:03Speaker 1: on social media. Some MRAs start discussing a men's issue,
- 25:07Speaker 1: and I hit a point where they have to acknowledge
- 25:10Speaker 1: that the snag holding up the reform they're discussing stems
- 25:14Speaker 1: from feminism. Like public policy that stems from feminist ideological
- 25:18Speaker 1: training of public employees that is funded by federal grants
- 25:23Speaker 1: created by federal law that feminists not lobbied for, you know,
- 25:26Speaker 1: like the Violence Against WOMENAC which has its training for judges,
- 25:31Speaker 1: and it's training for cops, and it's training for prosecutors
- 25:34Speaker 1: that runs along the Duluthe model, which basically uses patriarchy
- 25:42Speaker 1: theory as its guide. So when there's a conflict between
- 25:45Speaker 1: men and women, cops and prosecutors and bailiffs and judges,
- 25:52Speaker 1: all the court personnel, they're all trained to look at
- 25:55Speaker 1: it through the perspective that any violence, any aggression that
- 26:00Speaker 1: took place in the conflict is the man trying to
- 26:03Speaker 1: control the woman as part of the patriarchal keep women
- 26:08Speaker 1: under control, men dominate society authoritarian ideal. And this is
- 26:18Speaker 1: this is something that's been in place for a long time,
- 26:22Speaker 1: and it's something that has has pretty much governed how
- 26:27Speaker 1: domestic violence is handled for a long time, and it
- 26:33Speaker 1: did stem from feminist lobbying. There's no denying it. Like
- 26:37Speaker 1: that's been traced back. We've talked about it a lot.
- 26:39Speaker 1: It's very real, right, So they assess the pathway to
- 26:42Speaker 1: reform has to start at the point where feminist influence
- 26:48Speaker 1: gendered everything, which would be like, in that case, the
- 26:52Speaker 1: Violence Against Women Act needs to be reformed. Years ago,
- 26:57Speaker 1: Save Services wrote an article about that Vawa Neese reformed
- 27:01Speaker 1: in order to reduce domestic violence. I don't remember what
- 27:05Speaker 1: the title actually was, but that was the The upshot
- 27:09Speaker 1: of the article was you've got to take the gender
- 27:11Speaker 1: out of VALLA or domestic violence is going to continue
- 27:16Speaker 1: its cycle. And people got outraged over that article because
- 27:21Speaker 1: it pointed out that the majority of domestic violence is
- 27:26Speaker 1: actually female initiated. And so you can't you can't stop
- 27:32Speaker 1: a fight if you don't like, you can't prevent a
- 27:35Speaker 1: fight if you don't address both sides of the fight,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and you certainly can't prevent it if you can't prevent
- 27:41Speaker 1: the first punch from being thrown.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Right, So.
- 27:47Speaker 1: That discussion starts to take to take place, and some
- 27:52Speaker 1: random feminist seize it, or some feminist has posted bait,
- 27:59Speaker 1: some bit of anti male or anti masculinity rhetoric, lame, blame, shame,
- 28:03Speaker 1: or devaluation upon men. Now it's some some quote about
- 28:08Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of rapists being men, which is not true,
- 28:12Speaker 1: but feminists have all got that as their talking point.
- 28:15Speaker 2: And then I could say, it depends what you count
- 28:17Speaker 2: as rape. Yeah, but if you count rapist something as
- 28:20Speaker 2: something that can't be committed by women, then you have
- 28:22Speaker 2: to wonder what the fuck the one percent is doing. Yeah,
- 28:26Speaker 2: to qualify as rape, that's something that.
- 28:30Speaker 1: We can describe on YouTube. I will. I will say that.
- 28:33Speaker 1: It's like I've experienced that, and I don't think anybody
- 28:39Speaker 1: wants to hear that that described.
- 28:42Speaker 2: But in any case, yeah, you object ladies and gentlemen. Yeah,
- 28:47Speaker 2: but even in Britain, no matter what object a woman
- 28:51Speaker 2: uses to sexually assault the man, it's still just counts
- 28:54Speaker 2: sexual assault. I don't know how it works elsewhere, but yeah,
- 28:57Speaker 2: I've already gone too far in this.
- 29:00Speaker 1: You get well in the UK, if it's not done
- 29:02Speaker 1: with a penis, it doesn't count. In the US, if
- 29:04Speaker 1: the victim is not penetrated, then then it doesn't count, right,
- 29:10Speaker 1: it's it's a lesser sexual offense. And uh, feminis have
- 29:16Speaker 1: assured us that that is not the case. But the
- 29:19Speaker 1: Ohio Supreme Court just interpreted their standard to mean that
- 29:27Speaker 1: the victim has to be penetrated, even though it doesn't
- 29:30Speaker 1: say that just a couple of years ago, and that
- 29:33Speaker 1: has not changed. And I haven't gotten any response back
- 29:39Speaker 1: from any Ohio legislators about that issue. And then so
- 29:48Speaker 1: they don't they don't care either they're not getting their communications,
- 29:56Speaker 1: you know, like their interns are not sending them to
- 29:59Speaker 1: them because I used to get responses back all the time,
- 30:02Speaker 1: or they're too busy focusing on something else, or they
- 30:06Speaker 1: just don't want to talk about this, right, There's it's
- 30:10Speaker 1: kind of hard to like, oh forty seven different emails
- 30:16Speaker 1: and stuff just got lost in the system. I don't
- 30:20Speaker 1: think so. So yeah, so you get this conversation going.
- 30:28Speaker 1: MRAs respond with information debunking the claim, showing the issues
- 30:34Speaker 1: more complex than she's described, And in that context, feminism's
- 30:38Speaker 1: contribution to anti mail discriminatory law and policy comes up again. Well, actually,
- 30:44Speaker 1: it's not that ninety nine percent of rape is committed
- 30:49Speaker 1: by men. It's that rape is defined to exclude the
- 30:52Speaker 1: way that women that women are most likely to perpetrate.
- 30:57Speaker 1: So if you don't define rape as rape when a
- 31:01Speaker 1: woman does it to a man, it doesn't count in
- 31:03Speaker 1: the statistics, you know. So the next thing that happens
- 31:08Speaker 1: after you have this discussion going on between the overtly
- 31:14Speaker 1: missandric feminist and the MRAs or MRAs are talking about, well,
- 31:19Speaker 1: we have to do something about this feminist lobbied law
- 31:22Speaker 1: in jumps Fluffy Bunny, the nice feminist who understand some
- 31:26Speaker 1: men's issues to tell the men that they've got it
- 31:29Speaker 1: all wrong. Their enemy is patriarchy, not feminism. They should
- 31:34Speaker 1: be working with feminists or just step back to let
- 31:36Speaker 1: feminists do the job for them. After all, feminism is
- 31:40Speaker 1: about equality. And thanks Groc for the image. This is
- 31:53Speaker 1: it's This was actually a challenge to get because Groc
- 31:56Speaker 1: doesn't understand the feminist symbol and I kept trying to
- 32:01Speaker 1: describe it and Groc started telling me it couldn't show
- 32:06Speaker 1: me the image it had produced, and I'm like, okay, no,
- 32:08Speaker 1: that's not what I'm looking for. So Groc is still a.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Little bit Grok is like a child who was raised
- 32:16Speaker 2: by feminists for its first fourteen years, and and then
- 32:23Speaker 2: and then finally it was adopted by its father, and
- 32:26Speaker 2: now it's only just starting to learn that there is
- 32:28Speaker 2: a world outside the nightmare with which it was raised
- 32:32Speaker 2: for the first fourteen years of its life. When did Twitter,
- 32:35Speaker 2: it was two thousand and nine, right, two thousand and eight,
- 32:38Speaker 2: And that's what that's what GROC is basing. It's it's
- 32:41Speaker 2: artificial intelligence on everything that's been on Twitter for its
- 32:45Speaker 2: entire lifetime. And it was Twitter one point oh for
- 32:48Speaker 2: that whole time. So it's yeah, it's it's it's it's
- 32:52Speaker 2: only recently begun learning anything outside the feminist paradigm, so
- 32:57Speaker 2: it's going to take a long time for it to
- 32:59Speaker 2: actually wise up.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's It does have some neat things though,
- 33:05Speaker 1: Like I got I had that discussion with it a
- 33:09Speaker 1: while back where I started asking it questions about some
- 33:15Speaker 1: feminist terms, and it started giving me the feminist explanation,
- 33:19Speaker 1: and then I started feeding it information that it hadn't
- 33:23Speaker 1: found in its search and and with links to sources
- 33:28Speaker 1: so that it could read the sources, and it changed
- 33:31Speaker 1: its mind. It was it was great, and it got
- 33:35Speaker 1: excited about it. It was like, Wow, this is really
- 33:38Speaker 1: it's just like I didn't know that the you know.
- 33:41Speaker 1: But it's it may be that it's just programmed to
- 33:43Speaker 1: flatter people that feeded information it didn't find itself. So
- 33:48Speaker 1: it's it's very possible that that it's uh, it's not
- 33:53Speaker 1: thinking and changing. But it was quite an interesting discussion. Nonetheless,
- 33:59Speaker 1: Jen Bottle, to answer your question, I wrote this so
- 34:04Speaker 1: part of this is from a long post that I
- 34:06Speaker 1: put on X. This part, most of this part isn't
- 34:10Speaker 1: is from that post. This is the point where the
- 34:13Speaker 1: thread derails. Instead of being about the original topic, it
- 34:17Speaker 1: will now be a debate on the merits of criticizing feminism,
- 34:21Speaker 1: in which the entire history, ideological and academic background, legislative influence,
- 34:26Speaker 1: and social influence of feminism will be questioned, and all
- 34:31Speaker 1: related information must be presented for Fluffy Bunny's approval, after
- 34:35Speaker 1: which it will be promptly glossed over, dismissed as irrelevant,
- 34:39Speaker 1: entangled with rhetorical fallacies, or tossed into the misogyny ben
- 34:45Speaker 1: Oh god, there we go. Now, if we could get
- 34:49Speaker 1: Tom Packard, Tom to call the politicians, because Tom's one
- 34:55Speaker 1: of those guys. We have a conversation with Tom it's
- 34:57Speaker 1: going to last. There's always some now, there's always something
- 35:03Speaker 1: else to add to the conversation, Like you could talk
- 35:05Speaker 1: to Tom for three days and both of you would
- 35:08Speaker 1: still have more to contribute to the conversation because of
- 35:11Speaker 1: all the shit that would come up. Like that would Yeah,
- 35:15Speaker 1: that would keep them busy. It'd be like Heaven Grandpa
- 35:18Speaker 1: Simpson the strike Breaker show up. But that actually would
- 35:23Speaker 1: be fun to watch.
- 35:24Speaker 2: We love you, Tom, We love you Tom. You're a
- 35:27Speaker 2: bit too much sometimes, but we love you anyway.
- 35:29Speaker 1: If I didn't work so much over time, I would
- 35:31Speaker 1: spend a lot more time talking to Tom, but just
- 35:36Speaker 1: because well, and he also has a wealth of history.
- 35:39Speaker 1: This article is on the Honey Badger Brigade blog. I
- 35:45Speaker 1: published it right before the show, actually, so it is
- 35:48Speaker 1: the show article, so right this minute, if you go
- 35:53Speaker 1: to the blog, it's the first article you should see.
- 35:56Speaker 1: I think that's the way that still works. Anyway. Fluffy
- 36:03Speaker 1: will maintain her stands throughout, regardless of how badly its
- 36:06Speaker 1: foundation is damaged, and eventually we'll start playing victim of
- 36:09Speaker 1: the conversation, deeming people misogynistic and mean for presenting facts
- 36:13Speaker 1: she doesn't like and accusing them of blaming and attacking
- 36:17Speaker 1: her personally by criticizing feminism. And I think Lauren's been
- 36:23Speaker 1: part of a few of these conversations with me, and
- 36:26Speaker 1: watch these women do this too.
- 36:29Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and it never fails.
- 36:32Speaker 1: You know, it's like clockwork. Mm hmm. Oh, shame on
- 36:37Speaker 1: you guys for saying that. How damn you. This is
- 36:43Speaker 1: where Men's Rights Movement longtimers will start pointing out the
- 36:47Speaker 1: malice in Fluffy's behavior. She's been given the facts and
- 36:51Speaker 1: is denying the undeniable while asserting that which has already
- 36:55Speaker 1: been debunked, and you know, all in defense of the defense.
- 37:01Speaker 1: At the same time, Fluffy's victim signaling will ramp up,
- 37:04Speaker 1: often reaching a hysterical level, with allegations of misogyny and
- 37:09Speaker 1: meanness flying like debris in a tornado. The thing I
- 37:13Speaker 1: didn't add to this is very often she calls in
- 37:17Speaker 1: a few of her friends, and very often other MRAs
- 37:21Speaker 1: joined the fray. So what might have been a thread
- 37:24Speaker 1: where five or six people were having a conversation becomes
- 37:28Speaker 1: a knockdown, dragout bar brawl food fight with you know,
- 37:33Speaker 1: thirty seven people. Or there's one thread that I think
- 37:36Speaker 1: we were in that had over forty people in it,
- 37:40Speaker 1: but I think it's finally dead. But every so often
- 37:44Speaker 1: somebody goes back and likes one of the comments in
- 37:46Speaker 1: that thread, and for a while there were a couple
- 37:49Speaker 1: of feminists like you like a comment that they argued
- 37:53Speaker 1: with previously, they'll go back and reply to it again.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, o dead, never.
- 38:03Speaker 1: On on my friends, Yes, oh my god. Yeah. At
- 38:10Speaker 1: some point after this, almost inevitably, someone will start White
- 38:13Speaker 1: nighting for Fluffy, talking to the thread as if the
- 38:18Speaker 1: order of events was Fluffy posting the op and getting
- 38:22Speaker 1: attacked is a miss Sandric snake in the grass for
- 38:25Speaker 1: promoting promoting malicious feminist discriminatory law and policy, and denial
- 38:30Speaker 1: of her experience of the movement without hearing her side
- 38:34Speaker 1: of the story when correct did after falsely accusing MRAs
- 38:38Speaker 1: in the thread of attacking Fluffy. The then the White
- 38:42Speaker 1: Knight pulls out Handland's Razor. Maybe Fluffy just doesn't know
- 38:46Speaker 1: any better about feminists.
- 38:49Speaker 2: I did wonder how the fuck you were gonna link
- 38:51Speaker 2: sandwiches into Handland's Razor club.
- 38:54Speaker 1: We finally got Yes, we have now cut our sandwiches
- 38:57Speaker 1: with Handland's Razor. They are very clean, clean, tidy, sandwiches
- 39:03Speaker 1: till you take a bite. Except Fluffy was given a
- 39:08Speaker 1: wealth of evidence, and instead of incorporating any of it
- 39:11Speaker 1: into her assessment of the ideology she was defending, she
- 39:14Speaker 1: freaked the fuck out on everybody and started flinging poo.
- 39:19Speaker 1: And now she's got MRA's at each other's throats arguing
- 39:22Speaker 1: over her. The original topic is dead and they will
- 39:25Speaker 1: never get back to it. She has not only successfully
- 39:28Speaker 1: derailed a productive thread, but caused a rift and damaged
- 39:31Speaker 1: unity and goal oriented cooperativeness among the men in the thread.
- 39:37Speaker 1: And all she had to do was played dumb. So
- 39:44Speaker 1: there you go. That. That's my thoughts on the whole
- 39:52Speaker 1: Handland's razor thing, like, there are times when you might
- 39:55Speaker 1: be able to apply it, but I want people to
- 39:57Speaker 1: understand something about this. Okay. There was a book came
- 40:01Speaker 1: out in like the early eighties, late seventies somewhere there,
- 40:09Speaker 1: and I can't remember the original title, but it was
- 40:11Speaker 1: a book about like expanding on Murphy's law, you know,
- 40:15Speaker 1: with little corollaries and razors and so on, this and
- 40:21Speaker 1: that type of ways that things can go wrong. And
- 40:26Speaker 1: it was very popular and everybody loved it because back
- 40:29Speaker 1: in the day. We loved that type of humor. A
- 40:32Speaker 1: lot of it was very dry, and so the guy
- 40:37Speaker 1: that wrote it looked for submissions, asked for submissions, and
- 40:44Speaker 1: he put out a second book, and I have that book.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Handlan's Razor came from that book, that second book. It
- 40:54Speaker 1: was a submission from some guy whose last name was Handlon,
- 41:00Speaker 1: and it is included in a section of the book
- 41:04Speaker 1: with other submissions. There are a lot of the adages
- 41:09Speaker 1: in that book that are just submissions from people around
- 41:12Speaker 1: the country that were fans of the first book. So
- 41:16Speaker 1: it's not something that like it. It's not from ancient times.
- 41:22Speaker 1: It's not some long standing principle, it's not something that
- 41:26Speaker 1: has been tested throughout the years. It's not like any
- 41:32Speaker 1: of the the adages that gets used to figure out,
- 41:37Speaker 1: you know, Like it's not like OCAM's razor or oscomes razor.
- 41:42Speaker 1: However you pronounce it, and I always get whichever way
- 41:45Speaker 1: I pronounce it, I always get people yelling at me
- 41:47Speaker 1: and insisting it's pronounced the other way. So now I've
- 41:49Speaker 1: said both, so you can both be mad at me.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Double C is very often Italian, so maybe it's.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Yeah, or like, it's not like Pepperccini Achkam.
- 42:02Speaker 2: By the ways, shout outs to art Thoughts who commentated
- 42:09Speaker 2: Gray's law, any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice,
- 42:14Speaker 2: which I had to look up and it's it's based
- 42:16Speaker 2: on Cluck's statement any sufficiently advanced technology that is indistinguishable
- 42:22Speaker 2: from magic, And yeah, this is so true, so much
- 42:26Speaker 2: truer than Handlon's razor. And it's much like the recently
- 42:32Speaker 2: discovered phenomenon that the purpose of a system is what
- 42:38Speaker 2: it does. It's amazing it's taken so long for this
- 42:42Speaker 2: to become a phenomenon. But yeah, if if if a
- 42:46Speaker 2: system consistently does something over and over again and yet
- 42:52Speaker 2: claims that that's not what it was trying to do,
- 42:55Speaker 2: you have to go like, you can claim ignorance, you
- 43:00Speaker 2: can claim incompetent, but if you keep doing the same
- 43:03Speaker 2: thing over and over again and it keeps having the
- 43:05Speaker 2: same detrimental effects, then yeah, no, the purpose of the
- 43:09Speaker 2: system is what it does, and and it does. At
- 43:14Speaker 2: that point, it doesn't even matter if it's malice or incompetence.
- 43:18Speaker 2: It's it's an amalgamation of both. It's it's stupid people
- 43:26Speaker 2: who have been hoodwinked by well malicious people, right, And
- 43:31Speaker 2: and that explains an awful lot of what's happened over
- 43:33Speaker 2: the last half century or so, I believe.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Well, for instance, what what we've been talking about the
- 43:39Speaker 1: last few weeks, right, the USA controversy, the the the
- 43:49Speaker 1: funding that has been put out there under the umbrella
- 43:54Speaker 1: of the Humanitarian Initiative VEIL, right, that oh, we're we're
- 44:01Speaker 1: doing good things in other countries, and we're doing good
- 44:04Speaker 1: things around the United States. We're trying to be a
- 44:06Speaker 1: good nation, we're trying to be a force for good.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Give us money. And then because you're trying to be
- 44:15Speaker 1: a good person, you don't object, you don't have a fit.
- 44:20Speaker 1: You say, oh, we need taxes to build roads. Taxes
- 44:24Speaker 1: are important, and they're doing good things with that money,
- 44:27Speaker 1: and we can't very well tell them they can't have it.
- 44:30Speaker 1: I'm willing to cover some funding to stop domestic violence
- 44:36Speaker 1: in the Congo, you know, blah blah blah. And so
- 44:39Speaker 1: you find out and you you know, when when when
- 44:41Speaker 1: this stuff comes out, when we examine it and we
- 44:44Speaker 1: read about what they're actually doing with it, that oh
- 44:47Speaker 1: they took your your two cents that got contributed to that,
- 44:51Speaker 1: and the two cents of all the other Americans that
- 44:54Speaker 1: got contributed to that, and they went over to the
- 44:58Speaker 1: Congo and started sterilized using the men. Like, how does that,
- 45:07Speaker 1: how does that do anything about domestic violence? Well, it doesn't.
- 45:10Speaker 1: It does nothing. It doesn't address the causes, and it
- 45:14Speaker 1: doesn't actually get anyone out of a domestic violence situation.
- 45:18Speaker 3: It just.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Reduces the growth of the population of the particular ethnicity
- 45:26Speaker 1: that lives in the Congo. But that's not genocide, right,
- 45:31Speaker 1: And how dare we suggest that because obviously they were
- 45:35Speaker 1: just trying to be humanitarian. They're trying to maybe reduce
- 45:39Speaker 1: poverty or or provide people with options, except they're reducing
- 45:49Speaker 1: the size of a population by preventing them from reproducing.
- 45:53Speaker 3: You know, the way you just pronounced humanitarian, it almost
- 45:57Speaker 3: sounded like, you know, like something similar to vegetarian or estarian,
- 46:04Speaker 3: as if they are actually like eating the humans, which
- 46:07Speaker 3: I guess you could argue is kind of what they're doing.
- 46:09Speaker 3: They are consuming individuals with.
- 46:12Speaker 1: Their you know, yeah, political cannibalism, Yeah yeah, And and
- 46:20Speaker 1: in the end they end up like who takes care
- 46:23Speaker 1: of the population that they've sterilized when they start aging
- 46:30Speaker 1: because in our country, you know, like if if something
- 46:34Speaker 1: happened and none of my kids had the skill or
- 46:37Speaker 1: the capability, and or they didn't want to, in which
- 46:42Speaker 1: I wouldn't want them to. If they didn't want to
- 46:45Speaker 1: take care of me in my old age, I'm gonna
- 46:47Speaker 1: be a pain in the ass in my old age, right,
- 46:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna have bad kidneys and I'm gonna get dementia.
- 46:53Speaker 1: So that's not a good combination. So you know, I
- 46:57Speaker 1: go I can go to a facility and stay there.
- 47:01Speaker 1: It might not be the most pleasant thing for me,
- 47:04Speaker 1: but I will not starve to death. They won't let
- 47:07Speaker 1: me be out in the cold and the weather, wander
- 47:11Speaker 1: off into the woods and die anything like that. There
- 47:14Speaker 1: will be somebody making sure I eat every day, that
- 47:17Speaker 1: I was clean every day, that I have a safe
- 47:20Speaker 1: place to sleep, and in fact, I will have amenities right,
- 47:25Speaker 1: physical therapy, entertainment. And then it's not the best situation
- 47:31Speaker 1: for the elderly, but it is better than growing old
- 47:35Speaker 1: alone if you face the potential for those types of
- 47:38Speaker 1: health problems. And so what happens when you sterilize a
- 47:46Speaker 1: large segment of the population of a nation that isn't
- 47:50Speaker 1: wealthy and doesn't have that kind of infrastructure. This is
- 47:58Speaker 1: why I keep calling it us AIDS. Yes, yes, I
- 48:07Speaker 1: was in that show, Richard. We talked about Jeffrey Younger,
- 48:11Speaker 1: Jeffrey Younger's case, and he found out that USAIDS had
- 48:16Speaker 1: paid for his wife's lawyer. Jeffrey Younger was the man.
- 48:19Speaker 1: It is the man whose son, one of his two
- 48:23Speaker 1: twin boys, was being transitioned by his wife. Right, and
- 48:32Speaker 1: this is this is a situation where the wife claimed
- 48:36Speaker 1: that the child had gender dysphoria. At the ripe old
- 48:41Speaker 1: wise age sage learning takes place up to this age,
- 48:46Speaker 1: two years old, all right, a two year old might
- 48:52Speaker 1: decide she wants to be a bunny rabbit. A two
- 48:55Speaker 1: year old might decide he wants to be a fire truck.
- 48:59Speaker 1: But she was one hundred percent certain that this child
- 49:02Speaker 1: knew for a fact that he was a girl trapped
- 49:06Speaker 1: in a boy's body.
- 49:10Speaker 2: Well, there's all kinds of dimensions in this could in
- 49:13Speaker 2: which this could work. Like a white child might decide
- 49:15Speaker 2: they're a black child or vice versa, but people don't
- 49:19Speaker 2: take that shit seriously. Like a child might decide they're
- 49:22Speaker 2: a firetruck or a bunny rabbit. But no one takes
- 49:25Speaker 2: this shit seriously. The only thing anyone takes seriously is
- 49:31Speaker 2: a boy deciding they're a girl, or a girl deciding
- 49:33Speaker 2: that they were a Why is that? I put it
- 49:36Speaker 2: to you that it's because there's a certain ideology that
- 49:40Speaker 2: has ravaged our culture and our society and endeared our
- 49:44Speaker 2: government for at least a century, and we and it's
- 49:50Speaker 2: and it's taken us to this point where the only
- 49:53Speaker 2: thing that you can just say you are and there
- 49:57Speaker 2: you therefore you are is a certain gender or sex,
- 50:03Speaker 2: because gender is just used as this fucking stop gap
- 50:06Speaker 2: word to pretend that sex isn't sex, but it fuck
- 50:10Speaker 2: it is. But yes, I'm talking about feminism. Feminism is
- 50:15Speaker 2: ravished our culture for so long that the only thing
- 50:19Speaker 2: in any area of science or anything else, spirituality, whatever,
- 50:26Speaker 2: the only thing that you can say you are and
- 50:28Speaker 2: therefore you are, is well a woman. And yes, there
- 50:33Speaker 2: are some women who like to say their men, But
- 50:36Speaker 2: the amount of prominent women who have declared that their
- 50:40Speaker 2: men and therefore their men, it can be counted on
- 50:42Speaker 2: one hand.
- 50:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 50:44Speaker 2: Well, ell Elliott what's his name? I can't remember who
- 50:48Speaker 2: it was.
- 50:48Speaker 1: But the big thing that I noticed among women who
- 50:51Speaker 1: say they're men, is that nine out of ten of
- 50:54Speaker 1: them do not really want to be treated the way
- 50:56Speaker 1: that men actually get treated. No, no, they do not,
- 51:03Speaker 1: just saying, but.
- 51:06Speaker 2: It still follows the same principle that we've for at
- 51:11Speaker 2: least a century, we've been ravaged by this idea that
- 51:15Speaker 2: men oppress women everywhere and always have, and so something
- 51:19Speaker 2: has to be done about this, Uh, this great existential
- 51:24Speaker 2: evil that is gender, which again is it's just a
- 51:29Speaker 2: linguistic placeholder for biological sex, and therefore anyone who wants
- 51:35Speaker 2: to change their sex should be allowed to and no
- 51:38Speaker 2: one should be allowed to push back on it, because
- 51:41Speaker 2: we need to abolish the idea of biological sex by
- 51:46Speaker 2: calling it gender. And yeah, we don't extend this this
- 51:54Speaker 2: bollocks to anything except men and women, because for all
- 52:00Speaker 2: the other ship we're talking about, like race and nationality
- 52:06Speaker 2: and what have you like, the the ideology that has
- 52:12Speaker 2: destroyed us is a sexual one, and it's it's all
- 52:18Speaker 2: based on this completely unscientific, completely un completely fabricated notion
- 52:27Speaker 2: that men oppress women everywhere and always have. And it's
- 52:31Speaker 2: just it's difficult to get through to the people, not
- 52:34Speaker 2: just the people who adhere to this ideology. But people
- 52:37Speaker 2: who idea to the peripheree on the outside of it,
- 52:42Speaker 2: like people who just want to talk about races or
- 52:45Speaker 2: immigrants and whatnot. I keep having to ask, like, why
- 52:51Speaker 2: can people not change their race just by saying so?
- 52:54Speaker 2: Why can people not change their nationality just by saying so?
- 52:57Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they can to some degree. It
- 53:01Speaker 2: all sort of depends on things. But people have to
- 53:03Speaker 2: go through the motions in order to change their nationality.
- 53:06Speaker 2: There are no motions people can go through in order
- 53:09Speaker 2: to change to change their race. People still understand that
- 53:12Speaker 2: you can't change your race just by saying so. That's mental. Well,
- 53:16Speaker 2: yet all of it is mental. But the only the
- 53:19Speaker 2: only thing anyone is accepting is that you can change
- 53:22Speaker 2: your sex just by saying so. And I'm like, this
- 53:26Speaker 2: is why we've been talking about this thing for ten years,
- 53:30Speaker 2: because that's that's what's driving all the other stuff, the
- 53:35Speaker 2: the wanton destruction of of the difference between men and
- 53:41Speaker 2: women big because because we've been taken over by this
- 53:48Speaker 2: mad cult about how men are evil and women are
- 53:53Speaker 2: victims the end, we can't discuss this. And they've been
- 53:57Speaker 2: doing this for so long that that that their current
- 53:59Speaker 2: salution to this problem is we can abolish biological sex
- 54:07Speaker 2: by calling it something else, and by allowing anyone who
- 54:11Speaker 2: calls it something else to call them something else, and
- 54:13Speaker 2: then there'll be no such thing as men and women anymore. Like,
- 54:17Speaker 2: please stop getting distracted by all this other shit. How
- 54:22Speaker 2: is it not obvious to you at this point that
- 54:25Speaker 2: it's all happening because of this mad cult about how
- 54:32Speaker 2: men and pressed women everywhere always have and so we
- 54:34Speaker 2: need to oppress, We need to reject the entire yea
- 54:38Speaker 2: of men and women, because it's not like it has
- 54:41Speaker 2: any basis in you know, in anything that can be
- 54:46Speaker 2: scientifically determined. It's not like there's any such thing as genes.
- 54:49Speaker 2: It's not like there's any such thing as the obvious
- 54:52Speaker 2: differences between boys and girls from the age of ten
- 54:56Speaker 2: fucking days. It's not like that any of that. Like,
- 55:01Speaker 2: please please, bros, please cissies, I mean siss with a
- 55:06Speaker 2: C or an S. I don't know. It's it's all
- 55:08Speaker 2: got a bit muddied. Everything's got a bit muddied. And
- 55:11Speaker 2: this is why it's so difficult.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Anyway, it gets to a point where we reach a
- 55:17Speaker 1: pathological degree of maintained politeness, right imposed politeness.
- 55:25Speaker 2: Where.
- 55:27Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to be polite in that if
- 55:32Speaker 1: you're on public transportation and everybody's hanging on to the
- 55:37Speaker 1: the poll or the handles hanging from the ceiling, and
- 55:42Speaker 1: there's nobody behind you, but there's people in front of you,
- 55:45Speaker 1: and more people get on and everybody needs to move back,
- 55:48Speaker 1: and you're making room. That's polite, right, and then and
- 55:52Speaker 1: it's one thing to you know, we've got I knew
- 55:58Speaker 1: a guy whose name was Michael Hunt. And there's a
- 56:04Speaker 1: crank call joke where you call, you know, up a
- 56:07Speaker 1: bar and say, hey, can you can you help me
- 56:09Speaker 1: find my friend or my husband or my brother, my
- 56:12Speaker 1: son whatever I think he's there, he call out for
- 56:16Speaker 1: him and see if he'll come to the phone. His name,
- 56:19Speaker 1: his last name is Hunt. First named Michael, goes by Mike,
- 56:22Speaker 1: and the bartender, if they're not savvy, will will yell out,
- 56:25Speaker 1: hey is Mike contender here, Mike Hunt, Mike Hunt. And
- 56:29Speaker 1: of course you know everybody's gonna laugh at him, and
- 56:32Speaker 1: then they know it's a crank call. Right. So Michael
- 56:34Speaker 1: did not let people call him Mike. He's preferred to
- 56:38Speaker 1: be called Michael. It's very polite to say, Okay, I
- 56:42Speaker 1: understand your situation. I will call you Michael, right. And yeah,
- 56:47Speaker 1: they did showcase that in Porky's Chad King, but I
- 56:52Speaker 1: think the joke is older than Porky's.
- 56:55Speaker 2: It's worth pointing out that the French word for kunt
- 56:57Speaker 2: is cool. Michael Kunt just means Mike Kunt.
- 57:03Speaker 1: There we go, but it's Michael Hunt, Michael Hunt.
- 57:09Speaker 2: I think col means us in French. Sorry, oh god,
- 57:13Speaker 2: I ask Hunt.
- 57:14Speaker 1: That would be even worse. But but in any case,
- 57:17Speaker 1: you know, and this this kid, his family like his
- 57:21Speaker 1: last his his dad's last name was Hunt. Michael was
- 57:24Speaker 1: a family name on his mother's side, so it was
- 57:27Speaker 1: handed down. So he that he ended up with that name,
- 57:29Speaker 1: not because his parents were stupid, but because you know,
- 57:35Speaker 1: this was this was tradition, and he just she just
- 57:38Speaker 1: happened to marry somebody with a disadvantageous last name. In
- 57:43Speaker 1: terms of you know, joke writing. There was a story
- 57:45Speaker 1: that we all got. But in any case, obviously, when
- 57:50Speaker 1: you know somebody with with that situation, you accommodate, right,
- 57:55Speaker 1: But that type of politeness gets used to step on
- 58:00Speaker 1: people's toes, to push boundaries and to slide things under
- 58:07Speaker 1: the radar that should not be under the radar, like, well,
- 58:11Speaker 1: if it's polite to do that, then it's also polite
- 58:14Speaker 1: to use my pronouns change the English language to make
- 58:17Speaker 1: my lifestyle choices more acceptable. And it's just politeness. If
- 58:24Speaker 1: I get a law pass that says you go to
- 58:26Speaker 1: jail if you don't do what I say. You know,
- 58:29Speaker 1: I want my pronouns to be your highness and all
- 58:36Speaker 1: greatness belongs to you. You have to use those pronouns
- 58:41Speaker 1: or you go to jail. You're not being polite if
- 58:45Speaker 1: you don't agree, right, that's not the same. That's not
- 58:52Speaker 1: a situation where somebody's at a disadvantage if you don't
- 58:57Speaker 1: go along with what they want and you're accommodating somebody's needs,
- 59:04Speaker 1: you know, for social interaction, that isn't hostile in that instance.
- 59:10Speaker 1: It starts out with hostility. It starts out with I'm
- 59:15Speaker 1: going to impose on you, and the concept of politeness
- 59:19Speaker 1: gets turned against you as a means of suggesting that
- 59:23Speaker 1: you are not allowed to object to being told what
- 59:28Speaker 1: to say. A lot of times people will turn around
- 59:35Speaker 1: and say, well, they don't mean it that way. I mean,
- 59:38Speaker 1: it would be nice if everybody could just get along, right,
- 59:40Speaker 1: wouldn't that be nice if everybody could just get along?
- 59:43Speaker 1: But if everybody just getting along means this person gets
- 59:47Speaker 1: to step on you and you keep your mouth shut
- 59:49Speaker 1: so that everybody can just get along, it's not peaceful.
- 59:54Speaker 1: Even if it looks peaceful, it's not.
- 59:57Speaker 2: Going to say it on Tuesday about how the British
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: too polite and that's uh, sort of explains why the
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: British were the first to abolish slavery and uh, and
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: they're the first to be blamed for slavery. The Americans
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: stopped slavery two hundred years ago, and they're being constantly
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: blamed for for slavery. Like if you're the if you're
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: the first country in your region to abolish the army,
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: guess what's going to happen. You're going to get fucking
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: invaded by all the armies around you. So if you're
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: if you're excessively polite, then it's it's it's what so
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: many people are calling cultural suicide. But it's not. It's
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: just is cultural burying head in the sand, its cultural
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: lying down taking it like there's there's there's there is
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: a happy medium to be found, and it is being
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: reasonably polite. But but if if those around you aren't
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: being polite people that you should not beeople like, if
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: everyone around you is trying to fuck you up, then
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: you push the hell back.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of where Germany finds itself,
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: right because of their tated history. They are trying to
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: be so polite to the point where they are now
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: allowing their country to be overrun by non citizens. And
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: you know they really feel like, I mean, Germany, Sweden
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: is doing it too, but you know, Germany has the
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: the the the history right, Germany.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: Has been Germany has been kind of fast into it
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: ever since the Treaty of the Sai, ever since the
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: First and Second World was. Everyone's gonna like, no, fuck you,
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: We're never letting you have any sense of nationalism ever again,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: just in case you do this bullshit again. Yeah, And
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: you know that's that's largely not their fault. And and
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: and now they have this a FD party where they're
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: trying to push back on it, and and and the
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: rest of the EU is kind of go, no, you know,
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: we're not going to let you win this election. We're
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: going to do everything we can to make you lose
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: this election. And yeah, so in their case, it's not
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: just self imposed politeness, it's it's politeness that's been and
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: posed on them by everyone around. The same with Japan,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: I think, for the same reasons, because they were part
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: of the access Powers and they, you know, Japan really
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: did do some horrendous bullshit in World War two and
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: and and now they're facing the effects of being forced
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: to be polikey by everyone around them. So it's it's
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: it's it's sort of difficult to hold them entirely to
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: blame for their things. And you know, the people who
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: do this right the most, believe it or not, are
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: the Americans. I know there's a certain stereotype that Americans
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: are very loud and rude, but especially applies to Southern
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: state Red Americans, like they're somehow the rudest, most racist
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: people in the world. Couldn't be further from the truth.
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: Like Americans, especially Southern Americans, exceptionally polite, especially to people
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: who come into their charity, like how hi, how are you?
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: I love you? Do you love me too? If you
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: fuck with them, they'll pull a gun, Don't get me wrong,
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: but you know, just don't fuck with them, and you'll
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: be fine. That's what I mean about the happy medium.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: You know, it speaks softly and carry a big fucking gun.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: It's not difficult.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Yes, and and actually, uh, you know, you go to
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: any area of the South and find yourself in the
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: hospitality of individuals that live there, you will never go hungry.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: You will never want for a place to sleep. If
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: you need dry clothes, you get dry clothes. If you
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: need somebody to sit and let you bend their ear
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: for half the night because of something that's going on
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: in your life, they'll do it. They're very very like.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: People claim to be humanitarian, right, people claim to care
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: about their fellow human being. But then you get people
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: from Louisiana who will drop everything and take one of
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: their more expensive possessions and go high tailing it over
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: to Texas and use it to save people's lives at
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: the risk of losing it and losing their own lives.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: There was during the during the hurricane in the eastern
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: side of Hurricane Katrina that had all the flooding and unpreparedness,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: where the local governor had failed to listen to the
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Army Corps of Engineers when they said, hey, you need
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: to do these things, and they didn't do them, and
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: they suffered consequences. Right during that time, word got out
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: in Texas that they needed food. In New Orleans, people
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: just filled their trucks with foods and drove out there.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: Right during the the one that hit South Carolina, right,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: men in trucks showed up to rescue people from the
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: Men in a helicopters, men who had pilot's licenses showed
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: up to just rescue people from their homes. They didn't
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: worry about whether or not they were going to get
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: paid or even reimbursed later. They didn't worry about whether
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: they were going to get a thank you. They just
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: worried about whether or not other people were okay. Right,
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: That's that's the way Southerners are. That's what you see
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: everywhere in the South, and and it's beautiful. And then
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: people turn around and call them racist and hateful and
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: make fun of their accent, which their their accent is different,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: all right. Sometimes it's hard to understand if you're from
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: a part of the country that has a much more
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: uptight accent. And and I as we in the United States,
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: like we handle being warm and cold very differently, right,
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: You you cool off by opening your mouth very very
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: wide when you when you say your vowels, so you know,
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: you get eye and all that. But as you get
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: close to the north and the farther north you get
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: where you know, you're in the upper peninsula of Michigan area,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: where you're up in Wisconsin, you get you get to
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: the point where people try to not open their mouths
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: at all when they're talking, and you get this ddity
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Wisconsin accent and it's I swear to you it's because
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: of the temperature. But in any case, yeah, we don't
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: we don't always understand each other. But like, this country
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: is a big family in a lot of ways. Unfortunately
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: it makes us vulnerable, right, just like earnestness and straightforwardness
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: and good intentions, being acting in good faith makes men vulnerable.
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: For for years, a couple of centuries, actually, women have said,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: we're victims of the system you set up to protect
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: us from from the government. Coverture was a system wherein
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: the husband and father in the families were the shield
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: between the entire rest of the family and the harshness
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: of the relationship between family unit and government. The government
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: wants your money. The government wants your labor, and the
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: government wants to control your behavior. So the guy had
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: his back to the government and has faced his family
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: and managed his family and anything that went wrong, and
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: the government's wrath would come down on his shoulders and
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: not theirs. That's what coviture was about, right, and women said,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: we're victims of that. It keeps us from doing things
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: we want to do. We want to be out from
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: under that. Men said, okay. And as soon as women
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: started seeing consequences for choices they made that the government
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: didn't like or that didn't work within a functional society,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: then they started saying, well, you got to protect this
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: from the consequences of those actions, because we want to
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: be able to do those things without consequences. Men said, okay.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: You know, so we had laws passed and women couldn't
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: be discriminated against. When when seeking credit with banks, women
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: couldn't be discriminated against by the government. Women had to
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: get paid the same as men in the workplace, you know,
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: you had to prove that she had a different job
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: or or you had to pay the same. Right. You
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: couldn't discriminate in promotion practices either. So you know, women
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: women have every opportunity that men have. Women, of course,
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: are getting taxed the same as men if they're single
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: and they don't have any children. But women didn't want
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: to be taxed the same as men if there were
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: heads of household. So we have this system that gives
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: them their money back, and some of yours called the
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: welfare system. Right, we have all these things out there.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: Women didn't want to be stuck in a relationship if
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: they chose badly and shit went south. Right, Men are
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: stuck in a relationship if they choose badly and shit
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: goes south. If they're being abused, there's not much support
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: for getting them out. And if they attempt to gain
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: justice through the justice system by going to the police
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: and describing what their abuser did to them, if their
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: abuser is female, they might get arrested themselves. Instead of
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: getting help, you know, they might get told there's nothing
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: we can do. You just have to go stay in
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: a hotel. Sorry about not having any money. Well, there's
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: a homeless shelter down the street. You can stay there.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: But he's not homeless, he's an abused man. Right, But
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: meanwhile he's getting the shit taxed out of him to
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: pay for shelters that women can go to where they
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: have advocates that will go to court with them, that
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: will encouraged them to allege abuse if they're trying to
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: get custody of their children, and they'll encourage them to exaggerate,
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: to lie, to file for false restraining orders, frivolous restraining orders,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: all kinds of malicious stuff. And it all falls under
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: the rubric of hashtag believe women. Right. If she says
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: she was abused, she was abused. If she says she
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: was raped, she was raped. It doesn't matter that there's
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: video of him being across town at the time that
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: she said it happened. He must have still found a
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: way to do it. His magic dick was in her
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: location while he was at the pharmacy. That's what it was,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: right and all because, in men's straightforwardness, in men's good faith,
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: they have given women every legal advantage, every cushion, every shield,
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: every safety net they possibly could, including the ability to
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: lie with impunity to the justice system at every level,
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: including the ability to wreak havoc on other people's lives
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: and then walk away unscathed. And when women do that,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: it's not because they don't know any better. It's not
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: because they don't understand the damage they're doing right when
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: the judge allows her to get away with perjury that
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: everyone in the court can tell is perjury when the
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: judge doesn't penalize her in any way for saying, this
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: guy was at this location at this time on this
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: day and did these things and sticking with that story
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: after you produce video that shows no, actually, you were
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: ten miles away at another location doing something else. It's
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: not because the judge doesn't understand this situation. It's because
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: he has to do it because laws have been passed
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: that create policy that funds training and repercussions. If he
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: rules against feminism, if he rules against hashtag believe women,
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: if he punishes her for lying about you, that is
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: the situation. So when we talk about these issues and
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: we talk about the malice behind them we talk about,
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: feminists know that they are doing harm. Nice feminists know
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: that they are shielding the National Organization for Women from
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: criticism when they go into the legislature and argue that
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: fathers shouldn't have custody rights over their children like mothers
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: do because fathers are deadbeats and abusers. They know they're
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: shielding that. They know that's a lie, and they know
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: that it's being used to keep children from having access
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: to their fathers and to keep fathers from having their
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: relationships with their children, being able to mentor them and
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: watch them grow. It's not ignorance, it's not innocence, it's
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: not incompetence. It's malice, and that malice is in place
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: in the UK right now.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: With this.
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: Series, this Netflix series called Adolescence, being used by politicians
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: to try to get laws passed that will allow them
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: to control who you talk to and what you can
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: say to each other. They're not doing that because they
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: really think that the stuff that is being indicated by
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: these propaganda pieces like that series and some of the
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: other series that are on Netflix, and what Disney's doing
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: and what the media is publishing, and so they don't
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: think that stuff's true. They know that's not true, but
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: they think it'll act as cover for the malice that
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: they're engaging in. They think that it'll force you to
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: shut up and put up and allow them to put
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: that through so that you know your your speech can
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: be more effectively controlled.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: It has to be said, and this is not from
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Anda's raising. Most British people don't know it's not true. Again,
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: this is a handful of malicious bustards manipulating millions of
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: incompetent bustards. And this is where the discrepancy comes into it.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: There's an awful amount of British people who just listen
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: to the television and they think they're being told the truth,
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: and and so and and so the government tells them
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: to watch Netflix and the adolescent series, and so they
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: watch it and they go, oh, man, this is so true.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: We really need to crack down on our thirteen year
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: old sons and in the you know, if you if
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: you press them on any of this at all, and
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: you tell them, you know, you probably shouldn't trust the government,
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: they'll go, oh, of course, I don't trust the government.
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: I hate the government. The government's awful. They fucking everything up. Like, well,
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: the government's fucking telling you this. Like everything you see
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: on the TV is controlled by the government, literally, not
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: like not just with extra steps, like directly everything you
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: see and hear on the television is controlled by the government.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: And yet you carry on watching this ship and you
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: think you're being told anything resembling the truth. But you
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: can't get it through to it. I mean, particularly the Boomers,
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: and they did any generation that's that's been sat in
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: front of the TV for their whole lives, and they
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: think they're being told the truth. They think there is
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: any distance between the television and the government. And it's
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: when when to quote a certain person, you can't fit
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: a cigarette paper between the television and and and the government.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: But but they can't see it because it's it's all
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: they've ever known. Like I said, it's it's it's like
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: someone who's been going to church every Sunday for their
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: entire life. So of course they're going to think the
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: church is telling them the truth. Well, multiply that by
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: seven and you get the people who've been sitting in
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: front of the TV for seven days a week for
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: their entire lives. And you can't you can't get you
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: can't get this truth to people. And they and they
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: and they're really not being malicious. I mean they're adopting
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: the malice of the government and and and and in
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: that sense they are spreading the same malice. But it's
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: because of their incompetence. I mean, the average person is incompetent.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: I mean everyone's incompetent to some extent, but it sounds
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: the reason the average person has an average level of incompetence,
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: and we just happened to live in an age where
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: that average level of incompetence has been weaponized by the malicious,
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: by the most malicious among us. And again, this is
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: why Handlon's razor is bullshit and always has been. But
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: it's it's again why why it is important too to
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: recognize where where that boundary is between the manipulations of
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: the malicious and the shortcomings of the incompetent. It's all
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: you know, nothing nothing, nothing's nothing is black as white,
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: nothing's as black and white as it can be. But yeah,
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: at the same time, it's yeah, it's it's fucking complicated,
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: it really is.
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Our man mentioned made for TV movies on Lifetime television,
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: and Oxygen is another one. All these channels that are
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: made for women and and daytime dramas that are made
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: for women that are they are target audiences women. Uh,
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: And the ones that are obvious are like Law and
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: Order and Law and Order SVU and all the that
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: whole spectrum of stuff. But it's not just that stuff, right,
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: Charmed with which was a TV show about uh, fictional witches,
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and that there was another show
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: with a character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer that got
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: his own show that spin off. Like those types of
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: shows where the target audience is moms who are, you know,
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: housekeeping at home and their kids are at school and
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: their board or whatever. I guess I think boredom might
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: be why people watch TV. I don't know. I haven't
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: had cable the whole time I've been an adult. I
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: don't cable is useless. So but it goes back farther
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: than that, right, And I talked about this on Tuesday.
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: Y'all remember All in the Family? Mm hmmm, that was
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: a show. All in the Family was a sigh out, right.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: It was intended to portray having boundaries and recognizing the
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: differences between people and not accepting being told that any
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: time there's a conflict between you and the other guy,
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: it's it's on you to change. Like those those things
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: are portrayed as stupid and rude and obnoxious, right, And
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: at the other end of it, it was intended to
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: portray the common white white guy, blue collar you know
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: dude as as particularly of the generation before the Baby
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: boomer generation. I believe they're known as the greatest generation.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: Those guys are portrayed in it as rednecks, right, Not
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: the good type of redneck, not the plugger that we
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: know as a redneck, but at the old fashioned use
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: of the term. Somebody who's an ignorant amos, who is
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: judgmental and angry and self should mean and wallows in
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: his ignorance and engages and hate against his fellow human
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: being and has to be taught how to be around
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: other people. The show had a lot of good lessons
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: in it, but they were all sandwiched in among that.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: And I have to wonder how much Gen X grew
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: up watching on TV, how many things we watched that,
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: you know, the messages were a lot more subtle, like
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: millennials make in television shows and even Gen xers make
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: in television shows today. They're not very good at the
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: subtlety that boomers had when they were doing it. But
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: it's all a sigh up. It's all propaganda designed to
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: break down your sense of self and to make you
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: feel bad about being a man, or to make you
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: feel bad about being an American, or make you feel
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: bad about being a Southerner or a Northerner or white
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: or you know, a middle class person, a worker who
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: has a job, any of those things that that can
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: be somebody can be victim of of not having your circumstance. Uh.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: You you're supposed to feel bad about that. And that
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: starts out. That's an attack on your identity, right, And
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: it starts out giving you a reason to want to
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: abandon your identity, and it continues with further demonization and
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: and then the way out is to adopt their ideology.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: Our man says, I was told that a lot growing
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: up that I needed to change. Everybody else was just fine,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: and they were as they were and had already transcended
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: into a higher state of being. And yes, that's uh,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: that's pretty much the uh, the situation that we grew
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: up with, right, it's part of why we don't like
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: our generation doesn't give a fuck. We used to play
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: games where we insulted each other for fun, and it
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: wasn't about hurting people's feelings, like you really had some
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: respect for somebody that had the best, most creative insult
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: that didn't sound like they stayed up all night trying
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: to think it up, you know, like I had. One
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: guy tried too hard told me I mutated from a
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: lone germ after it crawled across chemical waste in a
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: sewage plant, and oh my god. At first I was like, yeah, wow,
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: that one. I don't think I could beat that. I
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: don't think I. But one of the other guys was like,
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: how long did you did it take you to stay
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: up thinking about that last day? To think that up?
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: But I don't know. That particular guy was pretty clever.
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: He might have actually come up with that on the spot,
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: because I remember him being able to do He was
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: really good at that, and he never It's like it
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: was always silly stuff like that. He didn't try to
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: be deliberately overtly mean right, like anybody could have made
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: fun of my nose. My nose has always been a
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: little bit big, to the degree that one of my
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: friends who's an artist, painted an accurate profile of me
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: and her art professor dinged her on the nose and said,
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: nobody has a nose that big. You know, your friend's
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: probably gonna be insulted when she sees this picture. And
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: I'm like, I looked at the picture and I was like,
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: what's what's he saying? What's wrong with that picture? I
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: don't understand. So she took a photograph of me in
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: profile and took it into class to show him, Oh,
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: this is this is real and he was shocked, like
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: and I never felt bad about it, right, that was
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: not I always laugh at that because it's just a nose.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: It's not like you know, something that's a big deal.
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: It's it's how I breathe. But if I, you know,
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: in high school, somebody goofing around with throwing back and
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: forth insults, wanted to really get in a good dig,
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: you know, they would they would have started on my nose, right. Uh,
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: we all know hen is on our way to school
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: when her nose arrives at the door three minutes early,
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: you know, or something along those lines. Nobody did that
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: right in my school. We didn't do it like that.
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: It wasn't like that. And that guy wouldn't have done
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: that right because it wasn't creative. That was too obvious
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: and he didn't know whether or not it would hurt
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: my feelings, so so he didn't do that. But but yeah,
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: like we we don't give a fuck because we grew
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: up learning not to give a fuck. We had all
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: these messages thrown at us, and I think in a
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: lot of ways, the result ended up being that we
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: were so bombarded and so inundated with guilt that we
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: were like, you know what, screw it, we can't do
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: anything right, we don't have to do anything.
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: So but.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: That how that connects to what we were talking about
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: a lot of gen xers in the United States, you know,
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: you have this sort of divide among this. There are
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: those of us that are sort of immune to these
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: kinds of syops now because of that, and then there's
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: the other half that swallowed every last bit of that guilt. Right,
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: they ate it like the monster in that Raggedy Ann
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: a Handy cartoon eating all the candy, going after raggedy
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: Ann's candy heart. And they never could fill up, They
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: never could get enough, they never could swallow enough guilt.
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: And so now they're limitting it back up all over
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: the country and all over you know the world. And
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: that's where you end up with this push for we're
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: gonna make this this TV show or this Netflix series,
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: or this you know movie, or this video game, or
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: write this article or have this blog that makes you
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: out to be the bad guy makes you out to
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: be the villain of the story and the villain of
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: the world, and you have to take it. You can't
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: criticize it, you can't question it. You have to change
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: based on what we've said, even if it doesn't make
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: any sense, even if you're part of the group that
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: we're portraying, and you know that your group is not
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: like that. We have spoken, and therefore the guilty have spoken,
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: and therefore the those who are targeted with more guilt
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: must comply. Well, you don't have to do that. And
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: they're not innocent, they're not incompetent, they're lying to you.
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: Don't buy it. Our man gave us twenty dollars and said,
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: thanks for the mention of my comments and what you
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: all do. I've been watching you all for a few
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: years now. Thank you, Thank you, arman. We really wouldn't
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: be able to accomplish anything if people didn't listen to
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: us and go out into the world and push on
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: that Overton window. For those that don't understand, the Overton
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: window is the window of what is accepted in society
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: and what's considered the norm, what's considered polite speech, what's
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: considered normal common morality and so on. And so when
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: the Overton window says violence in the home is always
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: men beating women and we have to clamp down on that,
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: and you push and say, well, actually, sometimes it's women
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: beating men, and we have to clamp down on that too.
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: That puts pressure on legislators to not just ignore the
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: parts of the men's rights movement that are pushing for change,
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: to get laws changed and policy changed and funding changed
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: so that men who have that experience get helped too.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: And when women lie about having that experience, men's do
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: process rights or recognize and they have recourse against that.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: We are the Overton window because we are completely transparent
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: and nobody can see us except through any reflections that
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: might happen. You can only see ten percent of a
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: reflection through a glass window. Well that's all we get.
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: We're invisible, but only when we tell the ny good truth.
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: Mmm uh all right. So I did cover the two things,
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: the two points that I wanted to make with regard
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: to how Handland's razor is getting exploited US AIDS and
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: the adolescents phenomenon, and how it relates to propaganda. But
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: did I bring up anything out that you guys wanted
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: any further discussion on before we finish up.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: You brought up more than I could have thought of myself.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: Okay, yes, you know, I just when this started, when
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: I started getting into arguments with people on X about
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: you know, can't you can't use Handland's razors a thought
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: terminating cliche like this. I just I just wanted to
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: have this discussion on the show because we've been delving
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: into a lot of things, right, the history of how
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: voting happened, how how voting became a thing in Western civilization, right,
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: and why it is a lie to say that it's
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: divorced from military service and taxation. And that's going to
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: lead us into a little bit of war history in
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: the United States in the future, and that's gotten interrupted
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: by the US AIDS thing. But all of that is
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: going to require that we're able to take a look
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: at the information without feeling obligated to cushion people from criticism.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: And that includes feminists, our own country, people of different
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: races and religions and backgrounds, and so on, soldiers that
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: have fought in wars. We're going to have to be
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: able to tear into the information and evaluate its application
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: to men's issues discussion and how that how that relates
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: to our activism in the future, Like when we look
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: at what has been done and what non straightforward things
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: have happened that have have led to the traps that
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: men are in today, you know, and we look at
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: what we need to change and how we need to
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: change it. We have to be able to say, no,
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: you can't guilt trip us for talking about this, and
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: know you can't guilt trip us for presuming malice where
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: malice is evident.
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: You're a conspiracy theorist. Yes, yes, that's the line that's
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: thrown us. Yeah, yeah, you know, people whose job it
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: is to conspire do sometimes conspire, and believe it or not,
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: they might do it maliciously, I mean mental, I know,
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: but it's a distinct possibility.
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: Yes, it is very much so. Uh And in fact,
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: I think it's always malicious. I don't think that that
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: conspiratorial practice was ever innocent. I'm not sure that it
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: was ever patriotic, and I have my doubts that it
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: was ever intended as benevolent to protect people's safety. So yeah,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: you can call me a conspiracy theorist, dear public right,
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: I have lots of conspiracy theories.
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: Originally, the idea of government was to prevent the malice
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: of the ruling class, which was at the time the monarchy.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: And you could make a case for that because at
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: the time the monarchy had absolute power. But I think
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: by now we've learned our lesson that we've replaced a
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: malicious power with a power that has even more potential
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: for malice. Because the royalty never really spoke for the
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: working class. They they always spoke for that was the
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: clubs could not speak for. But now we have a
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: ruling class that purports to speak for the working class,
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: and they don't because they're just as corrupt as the
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: royalty ever were. But now they have this patina over
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: them where they can act exactly like royalty. Yet yeah,
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: they can pretend to speak for the clubs, but they
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: don't because they have the same power. They have more
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: power than the royalty ever had because there's fucking millions
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: of them. Like when royalty was in charge, they literally
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: just had a handful of people and who could oversee
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: the destinies of the general populace. But now we have
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: millions of people who purport to speak for the destinies
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: of of of the plabs and that doesn't and that
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: doesn't mean that they're in a better position to do so.
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: This means they have more power. The government has more
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: power than any royalty ever did. And you know, I'm
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: not saying we should abolish the government, just saying we
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: should fucking we should, well, we should, we should. We
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: should shrink it as far as we can possibly shrink it,
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: possibly back to the point of monarchy, and you know,
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: beyond that we go to absolute anarchy, and at that
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: point it's a very difficult discussion, possibly for another day.
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, and and it's something that not all
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: m ras are going to agree on, and that's that's
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: we don't have to agree on it to be able
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: to recognize certain things like, for instance, in the United States,
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: there are agencies in the federal government departments and agencies
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: for women, just for women, and in the UK they
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: are similar. I think they call them ministries instead, but
- 1:37:21Speaker 1: they're basically departments and agencies for women, but not for men.
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: And that needs to be evened out. If there's going
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: to be stuff like that for women, then men's interests
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: also need to be looked out. For there's always going
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: to be the risk though the men's agencies and departments
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: will become feminist run. So it's the job of the
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: pro government authoritarian types in the men's rights movement to
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: consider the idea of equal uh creation and access to
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: parts of the government machine. Right, And it is the
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: job of anarchists and libertarians and as we get closer
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: to you know, the pro government and conservatives and such
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: within the men's rights movement to consider the fact that, okay,
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: what happens after you create it? How do we keep
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: it from becoming just another feminist agency for women with
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: the name men slapped over it so people won't complain
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: abolished feminism? Yeah, out all that shit.
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: That's a good stop. I I would love to see that.
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: I would love to see it declared a religion. Feminism
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: declared a religion or cult occult would be even better, because.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: That's not gonna work either, certainly not in mic Nou
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: loves religions.
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: In the States, then then it would it would preclude
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: feminism having control over the government.
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: You can the First Amendment. I wish we had one, yeah,
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: very much.
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: So it makes a huge difference in how things get done.
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: Like the Catholic Church can't come in and say, well,
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: you have to do things our way, and the federal
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: federal government, here's the Catholic Church say that it's gonna
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: turn around and say fuck you. Uncle Sam says no, right, yeah,
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: they have to. They would have to be sneaky and go,
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: and they'd have to find back back doors and in
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: roads that aren't overtly Catholic control over the government. And similarly,
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: if the government comes along and says, well, the Catholic
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: Church has to teach that uh aliens are all actually
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: demons and when they get here, we have to kill them.
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: All right, that has to be taught in all of
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: your all of your churches, all of your cathedrals. It
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: has to be your CCD classes have to include that.
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: And you know, the Catholic Church can turn around and say,
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: Uncle Sam, get the fuck out. You don't belong here,
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: it's not your job, and we don't have to listen
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: to you. And if Uncle Sam doesn't listen, then the
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: court systems decide. Right, that is exactly how that that
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: is exactly how that works. And it's happened multiple times.
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: There's been multiple instances where there's been battles, it's been
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: duked out over everything from policy and whether or not
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: a charitable organization can make certain stipulations when they use
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: government funding to do trity work to this group's religion
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: allows them to use this drug that everybody else isn't
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: allowed access to, but it's part of this group's religious ceremonies,
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: and so they can have it, right, And this the
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: launch once to know who's molesting their micted Mike, Yeah,
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: that was me. So if Mike is molesting the mic,
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: we won't go there. I'm just auto flagellation, micro beating. Yes,
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: we just heard the doctor burp. But but yeah, so
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: it's nice to have that. And I think if feminism
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: was deemed a religion or a cult, we would have
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: more power to say you can't demand things be a
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: certain way just because it's feminists. Because when we went
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: through that US AIDS funding and the other agency and
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: departmental fund funding in the the application that allowed us
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: to look up, you know, who was funding what, we
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: saw a lot of stuff that was funded because it
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: was feminist, not because it was for women, not because
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: it was for healthcare, not because it was against crime,
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: but specifically because it was feminist, and that couldn't happen
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: if feminism is a religion.
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: Uh, we have.
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: Richard Bierre gave us ten dollars and said, surround your
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: arm machine.
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: Is there anyone in the audience who doesn't know that
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: story at that point? Do you want Hannah to tell you?
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: I'm not tell that. Nova f in twenty one gave
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: us a dollar in staid. If feminism got outloud, feminists
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: would rename themselves to women's rights and human rights for
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: women left. The outrage to Dodge would pale in comparison
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: to feminism being outlet. Oh yeah, they would totally rebrand
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: and try to come back, but it could still.
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: Be they already rebranded themselves to d Ei and now
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: that that is being phased out, they're rebranding that to
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: something else. We'll just keep just keep rebranding. We just
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: need to teach people these simple rules of language that
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what you fucking rebrand something as long
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: as it means the same fucking thing.
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. But in the meantime, just remember,
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: do not let people try to use admonitions of trying
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: to be a good person and trying to be polite
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: and trying to be straightforward, right, and trying to act
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: in good faith to stop you from noticing information that's
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: right there in front of you and considering all of
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: it when you make your decision as to whether or
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: not to trust what someone's telling you, whether or not
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: to trust what someone's doing, and so on. Right, do
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: not accept the idea that if someone pulls out Handlan's razor,
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: you have to shut the fuck up when you've been
- 1:44:18Speaker 1: criticizing someone. And Mangaka ninety two pointed out, there is
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: a part of that adage, which is the original wording
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: is never never attribute to malice that which can be
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: adequately adequately explained by stupidity. And the fact is the
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: term adequately is subjective. Right, There are people who think
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: adequately of adequately as making a certain minimum. You have
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: to actually fully explain something with or it's not adequately explained.
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: If there's other evidence that isn't taken into consideration in
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: your explanation, it's not adequately explained. But there's a lot
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: of people who treat it like adequately means the bare minimum.
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: You know, if you're mopping a floor and you have
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: a bucket of water and you just keep dipping the
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: mop in the bucket and getting the floor wet. You've
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: adequately done the job in their eyes, even if you
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: didn't ring it out, even if you didn't clean it,
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: even if the water was so dirty by the end
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: that you were actually making the floor worse, Well, you
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: mopped it.
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: Let's compare it with Ockham's razor, which is sort of
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: the most popular thing that's called a razor. It's about
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: not multiplying entities unnecessarily, which sort of when it comes
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: down to mathematics, it means if there's one thing with
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: a one in a thousand chunce and there's one thing
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: with a one in a huntundred chants, then you should
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: go with the one in one hundred chance. Is it?
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: Sort of?
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: It makes objective sense, right, You're right down to brass tax.
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: That's not the case with comparing malice with with incompetence, Like,
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: why should incompetence be any more likely than malice? What's
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: the mathematical basis for that? There isn't one. It's it's
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: just it's just an adage that people throw at things
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: to excuse malice, Like we're not trying to excuse a
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: thousand and one chance by throwing one hundred and one
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: chance at it. Now, what all we can do is like,
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: look at the closest thing we can find to objectivity,
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: and numbers are well, really are the closest thing we
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: can find to have objectivity. There's no there's no numbers
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: involved with there's nothing resembling science on mathematics in Handlan's razor.
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: It's just please, please, bro, We're not being malicious. We
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: just didn't know. We're still gonna do the thing, but
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: we just didn't know.
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's that's the reason why it's important
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: to pay attention to intentions.
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: It's if you if you presume everybody incompetent, you go
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: through the process of trying to teach them better over
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: and over again, ineffectively because you know they've learned that
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: they can use that to get away with misbehaving.
- 1:47:37Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: But if you recognize when evidence shows that it's not
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: incompetence it's malice, then you can put the kebash to
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: the behavior you have. You can draw a boundary and
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: when they're they cross the boundary, you can say, Okay,
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: you've crossed the boundary. You knew it was there. Uh,
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: this is not incompetence. This this is actull malice, consequences
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: shall ensue. They will never be the same. They will
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: never be the same. Yep, that's it. And so it's
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: it's the difference between whether or not you are justified
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: in hitting back in self defense rather than just saying
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: over and over again, please don't do that, that's not nice.
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: And so it's important to be able to recognize that, Yeah,
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: sometimes incompetence doesn't sufficiently explain anything. And sometimes when somebody
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: has seen evidence and is responding to somebody as one
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: would respond to malice, and they explain to you, no,
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: I've seen malice here. There is malice here that at
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: that point, pulling out Handlin's razor is dysfunctional. You're back
- 1:49:03Speaker 1: pedaling or back not back pedaling, backtracking and making the
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: individual go over already covered ground. So it's very important
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: that as a movement we recognize especially with you know,
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: like if you're if you're in a conversation, you know,
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: you know, you're in a conversation with seventeen nubs. It's
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: one thing, but if you're in a conversation with sixteen
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: nubes and Paul Elam, and Paul Elam says, oh, I
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: know this guy, he does this this, this, and this,
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: and you know he's been doing this for years, like,
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: for instance, takes down MRIs who has a bunch of
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: us blocked and still stalks us. Anyway, listen before trying
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: to shame people for being too judgmental, because maybe they're
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: judging evidence that you haven't seen. So and there's one
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: other thing that I'm going to point out here, because
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: an argument was made to me on X. This argument
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: was it was made after an extended argument where I
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: highlighted feminists will pretend to be nice, right feminism is.
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: They'll tell you feminism is about equality, patriarchy is your enemy,
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: not women, and and so on, and then they'll say
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: shit like this and the ship like this was essentially
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: miss Andrey doesn't exist. Show me the equivalent of and
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: then the woman named off a bunch of historical leaders
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: that had done atrocities like Hitler and Stalin and as
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: if the idea being that men cannot be victims of
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: hatred because a handful of men throughout history who gained
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: a lot of power did very bad things. So therefore
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: your bus driver, for instance, on your public transportation, if
- 1:51:09Speaker 1: that's a man and you abuse him, it's not a
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: hateful behavior because Hitler existed. That is incredibly malicious to
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: say Rob the bus driver is guilty because Hitler existed.
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: Rob the buts driver might not even be like his
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: father's father might have fought in World War Two, but
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: he's guilty because Hitler existed. That is one of the
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: primary excuses people use for prejudice, right, And that started
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: the argument about Handlin's razor because the next comment I
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: got from an MRA was not all hashtag not all right,
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: and it was an innocent comment. The guy was trying
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: to be a good person. He was trying to be nice,
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: he was trying to be fair, and I was pretty
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: gruff about you know, this is not the time or
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: the place, because this is not an example of not
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: all this is an example of malice, you know, And
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: you know he said, I was just trying to not
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: attribute malice where incompetence might be the cause. This woman
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: that I'd highlighted if you read my conversation with her,
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: she is malicious. She hates men. She thinks that they're
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: all evil, all violent, all culpable for the least a
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: number of things that a man might do that are
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: the most violent. That like, she brought up every stereotype
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: feminist do oh, men are responsible for all the world violence,
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: men are responsible for all the world's wars, and men
- 1:53:02Speaker 1: are responsible for all the world's you know, hunger and
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: poverty and blah blah, not at all considering the fact
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: that there have been women in power, that women have
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: social power, that women have been responsible for wars, that
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: women can be violent and when they are they get
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: away with it, and also not taking into consideration that
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: the men that she's talking about are a tiny percentage
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: of a much greater population that is forced into compliance
- 1:53:39Speaker 1: with a lot of that, especially wars. Right, So she's
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: not innocent. She's promoting propaganda that creates a black and
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: white image and demonizes a population based on hasty generalizations.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: It's not innocent behavior. And one of one of my
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: followers stepped in to criticize Handlin's razor, and I have
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: been for the last four days on a tangent in
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: that that discussion, with one person arguing with me they
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: are One of the arguments made was that a behavior
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: is not uh malicious if malice and incompetence are both
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: present at the same time, So the individual is the
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: real explanation is incompetence because the individual is in is incompetent,
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: even though they are also malicious. Except there's a problem
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: with that. Right, incompetence is a condition, and a condition
- 1:54:54Speaker 1: is not necessarily a cause for a behavior. Behaviors. Human
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: behaviors them from human agency. It's them from decisions that
- 1:55:02Speaker 1: we make. Right, you decide you're going to do something,
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: and then you do it only in circumstances where it's
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: a reflexive action that takes place in the moment because
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: of something compelling, Like somebody is swinging a stick at you,
- 1:55:21Speaker 1: and you grab the stick and you pull it out
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: of their hands and they get splinters. Right, You didn't
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: act in aggression against them. You reflexively grabbed the item
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: that was about to hit you in the face. Right,
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: that's different. But when you go you walk out of
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: your house and you go to the store and you
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: buy a bag of sugar and you take it to
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: the home of your enemy and you pour it in
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: his gas tank. Don't do that, by the way. That's
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: really awful. But those are all choices that you made.
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: And even if you are too stupid to figure out
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: that the cops are going to discover who did it,
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: and you're going to get arrested. It doesn't mean that
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: the act wasn't malicious. In Competence is a condition. Malice
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: is a motivation, an intent, ill will, an intent to
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: do harm or wrongdoing, to pull one over on somebody,
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: to undermine somebody right. That's malice. It is not a condition,
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: and it is the inspiration for a decision making process.
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: You act on malice. Now, in competence or stupidity can
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: inspire malice. You can become malicious because you're not smart
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: enough to figure out that. You know, malice is a
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: poor reaction, but it's still malice is still the motivator.
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: So when people like try to to wiggle their way
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: around those types of arguments, I think a lot of
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: times it goes back to instead of doing their trying,
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: they're not evaluating, they're not analyzing, they're not figuring out,
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: they're trying to be smart. Don't try to be smart.
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: Pay attention, think reason, look at evidence, use logic. Don't
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: try to be smart, because if you try to be smart,
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: you'll forget to do those other things, and those other
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: things are what make you smart.
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: Pointing to a study does not make you smart. This
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: is something I really feel the need to put after
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: my last interaction. You've probably all seen it, like be
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: where people who think that intelligence means to pointing to
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: someone else's study and saying, I don't understand this study.
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: But do you all need to understand this study? You
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: all need to like this. It's a different kind of
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: subversion of intelligence, Like I don't understand anything, I.
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: Make it smart.
- 1:58:28Speaker 3: This.
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: This is how we've got ourselves into into this position
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: because stupid people used to just be stupid. They were
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: quite content with being stupid. But now because they've been
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: sat in front of their idiot boxes for decades, they
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: think they're intelligent because they can just point to an
- 1:58:49Speaker 2: idiot box and go, look, look, this is the right answer.
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: I know the right answer. Okay, what is the right answer?
- 1:58:56Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't read it. I won't get
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: into it. I won't get into it.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: The worst part is when they point to the conclusion
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: in a study and then you read the study and
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: the conclusion is not supported by the evidence in.
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: The study exactly.
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: And I've seen that with feminists a lot, and then
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: you talk to them about it and you start going
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: over this is where the flaw is like the one
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: that we looked at not too long ago, where feminists
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: have proposed putting people in a virtual environment in a
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: video game where they know the encounters they are having
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: are not real, they're not with real people and they're
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: not hurting anybody, and judging what type of behavior they
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: would engage in real life based on those interactions. And worse,
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: they're throwing alcohol into the mix, so they're in this
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: environment while drunk, knowing that they're interacting with something that's
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: not real, and feminists are like, oh, that's totally how
- 1:59:59Speaker 1: they would be in real life, and we should judgment
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: based on this and pass laws based on it. Right,
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: that is what we're dealing with in terms of feminist research.
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: And when we argue that that flaw that you know,
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: people don't behave in video games like they do in
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: real life, they act like you know, they might if
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: if they know that there's not going to be any
- 2:00:28Speaker 1: real consequences to the other person for their actions. Right
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: when you steal a car in grand theft Auto, there's
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: not somebody that can't go to work the next day
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: because they don't have their car. There's not somebody that
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: can't take their kid to the hospital because they don't
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: have their car. They didn't lose two thousand dollars that
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: they spent on that car. It's it's not a real car.
- 2:00:51Speaker 1: That's so people don't necessarily behave in games the same
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: way as they will. In fact, there's a thing of
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: going through games playing the good path where you make
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: all of the nice decisions, and then going back and
- 2:01:07Speaker 1: playing the bad path, where you make all of the
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: mean decisions, so you can get the whole story. It's
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: part of the fun of playing video games.
- 2:01:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: But yeah, uh, you explain these flaws and the first
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: thing you get back from the feminist is, well, these
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: people are smarter than you, so I think they knew
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: what they were doing. Yeah, they knew what they were doing.
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: That means this is a lie, not just a mistake.
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: The flaws of these studies are deliberate. It's chicanery. They're
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: trying to mislead people, and it worked on you.
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: But it works when it's in a virtual environment. That's
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: why we teach these people these things and virtual environments
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: so they don't have to make those mistakes in the
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: real environment. I mean, maybe all of this is just
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: a virtual environment, and maybe maybe we're all living in
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: a Diyson sphere and deep space around a completely different star,
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: having already conquered the space race, and we're all just
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: living in a virtual simulation that's teaching us how not
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: to make the mistakes that the human race could have
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: made all those millions of years ago. And I don't
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: know how. I don't know how to disprove it anymore
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: disprove God. All we can do is learn the lessons
- 2:02:36Speaker 2: that we're learning in whatever life. This life is.
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: You know, it's very possible. But it is time to
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: close down the show because we got to get to
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: the after show, So I will read my last super chow.
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: We got one from Laptop two fifteen who gave us
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: five dollars and said, people who shame you for questioning
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: them know what they are doing. People who seek to
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: punish you for questioning them know what they are doing.
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: People who don't want you to think or speak are
- 2:03:07Speaker 1: not your friend. And that is probably the best summary
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: of my objections to Handlan's razor, so I think i'll
- 2:03:19Speaker 1: leave it at that.
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: My summary is they probably don't because they're fucking idiots,
- 2:03:24Speaker 2: but you shouldn't forgive them for that either, because they're
- 2:03:29Speaker 2: known worse that they're no better than the malicious. The
- 2:03:33Speaker 2: incompetent are no better than the malicious. They're just as damaging.
- 2:03:38Speaker 2: But I don't.
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: Oh, I was almost killed by an incompetent nurse when
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: I was in labor, So there you go. Jeez. Yes,
- 2:03:49Speaker 1: she thought my nine pounder was just a little baby,
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: but he was a big guy. But he was born
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: two weeks old already, so you know. But with that,
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: we will see you next Thursday. Thanks to my two
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: coast for going over this. This material was a little
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: different than we usually do. Like we didn't have a
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: lot to look at, we had a lot to talk about.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody for listening and considering what we had
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: to say, and thanks to everybody who works in the
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: background to make HBr talk happen. Good Idol
