E67: Epic Contradictions - A Look at Double Standards · The Junto Podcast

0:10
Hello, America. Welcome to the Junto podcast, where we promote the practical
0:14
applications of critical thinking and bold creativity.
0:18
I'm your host, Edgar Mills. Thank you for joining us.
0:28
Hello, America. Welcome back. This is episode 67, and I appreciate you guys sticking around.
0:35
So what are we talking about today? Well, there was a spark.
0:39
There was a little spark that launched my curiosity.
0:44
But what we're talking about broadly is the,
0:50
epic.
0:53
Multi-layered.
0:56
System of contradictions that we get from the progressive left,
1:00
the hard left, modern leftism, democratic socialism,
1:08
and what some people call liberalism, but it's not very liberal at all.
1:15
And these contradictions are not just inconsistencies in their thought process.
1:22
These are frigging foundational.
1:25
The whole leftist ideology is built on contradiction. And I refer you back to
1:31
my episodes on communism.
1:34
The same people who you remember last year, a couple years ago, punch a Nazi in the face.
1:42
Well, by that sentiment, that's awesome. But the same people say, love is love.
1:48
Love, not hate.
1:51
And then there are the same people, this movie that just got released a few
1:55
weeks ago, Citizen Vigilante.
1:59
People were screaming about how racist it is. But then they'll turn around and,
2:05
praise and glorify Louie J.
2:08
Mangione for assassinating a health insurance company CEO.
2:20
So, it just depends on.
2:24
Who it is, right?
2:27
So, we're going to look at some of this stuff. I'm trying a new method here.
2:31
I'm reading my notes from the computer instead of printing. I'm killing trees over here by printing.
2:37
So, anyway, the little spark, though. What sparked me? There was a,
2:42
and I mean this month, it just happened.
2:45
And our Atlantis event charters, they chartered the Virgin Voyages,
2:52
the Scarlet Lady. It's a cruise ship.
2:55
And this is an LGB-themed cruise.
2:59
And it had something like 1,900 passengers, all celebrating the gayness and all that.
3:07
And mostly it was Americans and Australians. Well, they were on a cruise and,
3:14
there was a planned stop in Turkey, like Istanbul and some other coastal spot there in India, Turkey.
3:25
And they got turned away.
3:29
The Turkey government would not let them dock.
3:35
And they cited that and the Turkish government cited that that ship was known
3:41
for behaviors that do not align with the structure of our society and our moral values.
3:48
And that might be true, but I don't know, it's a little steep.
3:54
And then they tried to reroute and go to Alexandria, Egypt, which back in the
4:00
day was a vacation spot, was a go-to spot for well-to-do world travelers.
4:06
I wouldn't think anymore. It's, I don't know. Well, they got turned away from Egypt as well.
4:13
Turns out the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't care for gays.
4:18
So I guess there was no pride parade on the Nile that week.
4:24
And this was Turkish and Egyptian policy.
4:31
This is not, and in Turkey since 2015, because both of those are Islamic countries
4:38
and they're both very anti-homosexuality.
4:43
And homosexuality is stigmatized heavily and criminalized heavily.
4:48
And the thing,
4:51
the response from that, from the progressives in the left, has been nothing.
4:59
There's been no cries to boycott Turkey and Egypt or to bring them some kind
5:08
of higher level of enlightenment.
5:11
There's been no epic lectures to the governments of Turkey and Egypt.
5:18
And all the well-to-do westernized leftist finger pointers who spend years and
5:26
decades lecturing America and Europe on LGB rights,
5:34
and tolerance and acceptance,
5:39
and all that stuff.
5:41
And they demand that we have rainbow flags in every government building and every school.
5:47
What did they suddenly discover cultural relativism? I don't know, man.
5:53
I guess it's okay if the rejection comes from Muslim majority nations because,
5:59
I don't know, I guess tolerance has hard borders. I'm like America.
6:04
Well, speaking of that.
6:09
So the contradiction I'm pointing out there is that there's been zero outcry.
6:15
There's been zero rebuke from the left.
6:22
So let's look at queers for Palestine.
6:28
Now, look, I'm not just picking on queers and LGB. I'll get to other things,
6:32
but I just think that's one of the most glaring contradictions.
6:39
This is the queers for Palestine. They're out there waving their rainbow flags
6:45
alongside Palestinian flags,
6:47
Which, by the way, the Palestinian flag was created by an English politician Anyway,
6:56
they waved flags right alongside each other at protests And you got gays out
7:00
there chanting from the river to the sea No idea what they're talking about,
7:05
but they're chanting it in solidarity,
7:10
In support of an organization.
7:17
Hamas. In support of Hamas. That's the dominant leadership faction in Palestine.
7:27
In Gaza and the West Bank, homosexuality,
7:33
depending on exactly what you do, it could be a capital offense. Definitely a crime.
7:40
Male homosexuality can get up to 10 years in prison, up to 10 years.
7:47
And Pew Research's polls shows that somewhere around 93% of Palestinians reject homosexuality.
7:59
That's unheard of when it comes to polling, getting a 93% rating like that.
8:06
The Palestinians do not love the gays.
8:10
So it blows my mind why the gays are out there marching. And I'll give you a real world example.
8:16
I mean, obviously there are gay Palestinians, right? I mean, there's,
8:22
however you shake it down, there are gay people everywhere. They've been murdered
8:27
with videos out there on the internet, by the way.
8:32
And much of the Gaza West Bank The Palestinians who are gay Where did they go?
8:41
Yeah, they went to Israel They sought refuge in Israel Because there's a,
8:49
polar opposite contrast in Israel They have pride parades and legal protections
8:54
And all that stuff And in fact, in the region In a region that's Muslim, fully Muslim,
9:02
Israel's the only nation that has decriminalized homosexuality.
9:08
But the queers for Palestine still exist. They still persist. And...
9:15
There are some activists out there that said they feel safer,
9:20
in Gaza than in Israel.
9:24
Is that right? Do you think that's true? Or is that just some hyperbolic nonsense,
9:30
to try to get some emotionally charged?
9:35
God dang.
9:37
The cognitive dissonance for these people is at cosmic levels. Oh, man.
9:46
The left's obsession with this hierarchy of oppression, right?
9:51
So an oppressed Palestinian is higher on the hierarchy than an actual gay person's
10:00
safety, whether they're Palestinian or not.
10:03
I wonder how they feel about Jewish gays in Israel who are serving in the Jewish military, the IDF.
10:12
Are they off the Christmas list? I don't know, man. So the contradiction,
10:18
the just mind-blowing contradiction is that they support a movement that would, if given power,
10:28
execute and imprison every queer marching with Palestine.
10:32
And what is that? Why? I don't understand. It's just ideological masochism,
10:39
I guess. I don't know, man.
10:40
They're so eager to virtue signal for whoever well really whoever's the most
10:47
anti-american gets the most sympathy i guess it's the way i think it's going down,
10:54
all right now i'm gonna come off the gaze a little bit.
11:02
On college campuses in America, since somewhere around the 20-teens,
11:12
black activist students and black activist groups have made calls for race-exclusive
11:22
spaces in order to organize and do social justice work.
11:29
The University of Michigan Students for Justice pushed for permanent central
11:36
campus space that was dedicated to community,
11:41
excuse me, organizing and social justice work exclusively for black people.
11:47
And there's been similar demands around other colleges and all over the place.
11:53
And then there's been calls for race based housing programs and black only lounges
12:01
and places for black people to exist,
12:05
this is the same the people making the left the people who support this and
12:10
call for this the same people that carry on about Jim Crow 2.0,
12:20
but they just But all they do, all the left likes to do is rebrand.
12:26
So they just taken the segregation and they're rebranding it as safe spaces.
12:31
And they justify it with it's healing from oppression.
12:40
Oh, my God. In Canada, there's some universities, I don't know how many,
12:45
but they've added black-only swim times and lounges in their fitness and pool spaces.
12:55
So what's the principle here? Well, the principle is segregation is evil unless
13:02
our side does it in the name of equity.
13:06
But that's the opposite of equity, isn't it? Now, if you use a metric of violence
13:12
to justify segregation, well, black people commit the most violence,
13:17
so we should segregate them over here. Oh, my God.
13:20
The left would literally erupt in violence, ironically. Well.
13:29
So what's the result of this particular topic?
13:34
Well, it normalizes the idea that different races require different rules and different spaces.
13:42
They're normalizing that, but for their own cause.
13:46
You throw the same idea out there with a different justification in it.
13:50
Oh, my God, the world's coming to an end.
13:53
It's a contradiction. It doesn't jive. It doesn't make any sense.
13:58
The civil rights movement marched and protested peacefully mind you for integration,
14:05
and what they're calling for is the absolute opposite of that,
14:09
and it is i hate this catchphrase but i'll say it it is what it is you can arose by any other name,
14:17
you can call it something some semantic fucking catchphrase but it's still segregation,
14:24
and i think it's still wrong am i am i wrong Have I missed a boat on that? I don't know.
14:31
Madness, contradictions of epic proportions. Speaking of violence,
14:38
mass immigration from Muslim-majority countries into Europe and the U.S.
14:43
Since the early 2000s has been pushed hard by the progressive left.
14:51
And they call it a moral necessity. It's a moral obligation.
14:56
And if you question it, you're racist or xenophobic.
14:59
But what's happening in America now and Europe, it's been, I think,
15:04
Europe worse than America, but there are parallel lines of effort going on.
15:11
And they're.
15:14
Trying to pump up the numbers of Muslim elected officials in America.
15:20
And we're seeing it most famously with Mamdani, most recently with Mamdani in New York.
15:28
But several at local levels, right?
15:32
Already at the national level, we have, there are four notable Muslims in the
15:37
House of Representatives.
15:39
An American dude named Andre, I think Andre Carson from Indiana,
15:45
and then Ilhan Omar from Minnesota,
15:49
Rashida Tlaib from Michigan, and then, I don't know this lady's first name,
15:55
but Ansari in California.
15:59
In Europe, the most famously is Sadiq Khan, who's the mayor of London,
16:05
one of the most notable metropolitan spaces in the world.
16:11
And you're seeing that it's not racist to think, and it's not xenophobic to
16:18
think, that they have allegiance to a higher purpose.
16:24
Progressive leftism is not their purpose.
16:29
And you're going to see, well, in New York, you're already seeing all these
16:34
socialist programs rolling out.
16:39
Already corruption is, oh, man.
16:44
But ultimately, you're going to see some transitions into some other things.
16:50
So some communities, well, some communities have organized efforts to put these,
16:56
sort of Islamist religious figures into office in the name of diversity.
17:03
That's the cover story is diversity.
17:08
And but but you got to look at the poll our polls the end-all be-all no but,
17:14
pure pure research is one of the big ones and but there's others that consistently show that.
17:22
Substantial numbers of minorities, and especially among younger generation Muslims, they favor Sharia law.
17:33
And if they have a sympathetic view of Sharia law, eventually,
17:39
you have people in office, and you start going to these city councils and these,
17:44
whatnot, and they're going to start voting in these little incremental changes,
17:48
that are consistent with Sharia law, not consistent with...
17:52
With our Constitution.
17:55
And these young people. They want. To have Sharia. To have a preferential role in law.
18:03
And a lot of them cite. And that matters for like family matters. Right. In France.
18:09
There's surveys that show half of young Muslims. Want Sharia.
18:13
To take precedence. Over French law. In areas like marriage. Inheritance.
18:21
Things like that. Same in Germany. But I'm going to show you a weird contradiction here.
18:29
In the UK, there's been a famous ongoing sort of problem with rape gangs.
18:34
Yeah, grooming gangs, they call them.
18:38
So that shows us another layer of Islam because that is unique.
18:44
And predominantly the perpetrators of that are Pakistani Muslims.
18:50
And we're discovering that they've
18:52
exploited thousands and thousands of vulnerable young English girls.
18:59
And in England, I don't know what's going on over there. The authorities.
19:05
Are scared to confront any brown
19:07
person whatsoever. Because heaven forbid they'd be accused of racism.
19:14
So meanwhile, crime just goes unchecked.
19:18
And then you as an Englishman try to call it out and you get rolled up for being
19:22
racist. Like literally rolled up and arrested.
19:27
So from the 2010s onward, you can do the math and see that in England,
19:36
the amount of Muslim population and the amount of Muslim involvement in their
19:43
institutional failure is very,
19:48
right their institutions are crumbling and i'm going to refer you back to the
19:52
cloward pivot theory that i was talking about these are american people it's
19:57
not do but it's similar right they're overwhelming their systems,
20:01
and they're not looking at second and third order effects,
20:05
and their and their systems are becoming overwhelmed and then their systems
20:08
in england are just going to be taken over by muslim guided systems and then
20:13
if you're english well you're fucked.
20:19
Here in America, well, everywhere, progressives love to frame any discussion,
20:24
on Muslim failure to integrate or adopt American or Western values.
20:35
Any discussion on parallel societies and shadow governments or any discussion
20:42
on Sharia implementation, you're just, boom, you're a bigot.
20:49
That's it. They just throw it off, write it off. Don't examine it at all.
20:54
Don't take it at face value and go, well, let's look into that and look at the facts.
20:59
And all this sort of demographic and political entry into the legislature,
21:04
right? The Muslim and Islam are getting people in these political offices.
21:11
That is treated like it's unassailable. Well, you can't question that.
21:16
But even as ongoing events and strategies that we see before our very own eyes
21:23
plays out in front of us in America and Europe,
21:27
that Muslims want to bring Islamic legal norms, i.e.
21:32
Sharia law, to America and to Europe.
21:36
Many of them, many of them have even stated such.
21:40
But you get wrote off as being a bigot.
21:44
And the progressive left don't want to look at the facts. In America,
21:47
they just want, they see Muslims as votes.
21:52
That's a guaranteed democratic vote, which is another contradiction, isn't it?
21:59
If you want to compare value systems, the extremes of Sharia,
22:05
how is that in any way compatible with progressive ideology?
22:11
In my opinion, the contradiction is that the left, they will support anything
22:19
that's an anti-American system of governance.
22:24
Even if it puts Muslims in position of power, that will one day,
22:29
sooner than later, end up hanging those same progressives from a noose on the
22:35
end of a crane on national television.
22:39
I say on national television on nationalized television because there won't
22:45
be any free media anymore the contradictions are cosmic,
22:53
i'm gonna stay on muslims a little bit and when i say muslims i'm hammering
22:57
the progressive left here.
23:00
I don't agree with islam but if i go to saudi arabia That's what I expect.
23:07
I don't have to like it, but I'm now in a different country.
23:11
I'm not going to go to Saudi Arabia, put my Trump hat and American short shorts
23:16
on, run around screaming, change your laws.
23:20
But the ongoing contradiction here is that progressives routinely,
23:29
attack Christian values and influence with maximum disrespect, routinely.
23:39
They mock believers. They want to get rid of any reference to any Christian,
23:47
symbol or references in any school setting or any public setting.
23:56
Frame traditional Christian views on marriage and sexuality as bigotry.
24:02
And then they want to try to, every Christian is a secret Christian nationalist.
24:09
That's their go-to boogeyman for Christians. Oh, the Christians are going to
24:12
take over. It's going to be Handmaid's Tale.
24:16
But those very, very same circles that shit on Christianity,
24:23
defend Islam or worship, yet collaborate with Islamist movements in efforts
24:30
to support taqiyya, right?
24:31
The downplay, the Muslims will downplay the Islamic doctrine in the West,
24:39
and they will owe Islam as the religion of peace.
24:44
But their doctrine punishes, and oftentimes by death, apostasy, blasphemy.
24:55
Of women's rights.
24:59
What are the women's rights in an Islamist nation? They're non-existent.
25:04
Homosexuality, punishable by death in many Muslim nations.
25:10
Somehow Christianity is the all-powerful oppressor,
25:16
because we say, hey, it's wrong. You know, homosexuality is wrong as per the Bible.
25:23
But Christians still will let you live and live and let live,
25:26
whereas Islam don't do that.
25:29
The progressives love, like I said, the Christianity, that's the all-powerful
25:34
oppressor, and then Islam is the oppressed, or Islam is within the group of oppressed.
25:41
The gays are oppressed. The blacks are oppressed. Everybody that has any leftist
25:46
ideology whatsoever, Christianity is oppressing.
25:50
So if you're in the big victim pot, you do whatever you want.
25:57
But why not just look at the historical and current track record of Islam?
26:06
It's a theocracy. And furthermore, it's an authoritarian theocracy.
26:14
And you can see it in Muslim nations around the world.
26:18
The contradictions are so ridiculous. When it comes to the left and Islam,
26:23
the contradictions are ridiculous.
26:26
You can be secular, and you can reject Christianity and then somehow embrace Islam.
26:33
And again, if they were in power here, if they were the majority power here in America,
26:41
they would impose far more oppressive, and stringent laws to include hadud punishment
26:49
crimes against Allah which is probably death right,
26:56
even consistent with anti-theism, right?
27:00
Atheism. It's not even consistent with secularism because you're supporting
27:06
even a worse creature than what you claim to hate.
27:10
So ultimately, what is it? It's just selective anti-Americanism. That's what it is.
27:16
The contradictions are insane.
27:20
All right.
27:22
What's some other little contradictions that we see all the time?
27:26
And I was talking about the gays and Islam and all this and that,
27:31
and I touched on it a minute ago, but what about the feminists in America?
27:35
What about feminism, women's autonomy and women's rights and all that stuff?
27:43
That crashes and burns, man. As soon as you put the hijab on or the burqa,
27:47
because that's what American feminists,
27:50
they will cover and defend and say oh that's their choice they're empowered
27:57
because they're making the choice.
28:00
What about honor killings what about that what about a dad who kills his 22
28:07
year old daughter for putting makeup on and dressing western and going out of
28:12
the house without her cover on,
28:15
or an American dude comes and knocks on the door to ask his daughter out for
28:23
a date, he's not going to get punished.
28:27
She is. And maybe by death. Honor killings, man. What about that?
28:32
What do the feminists have to say about that?
28:35
I don't hear progressive left feminists speaking up too much about Islam.
28:41
I hear him speaking up all the time about Christianity.
28:44
And along those same lines, did you know, do you, did you know that.
28:53
General mutilation is still a thing in Muslim immigrant communities.
28:59
Is it prevalent? I doubt it.
29:02
And is it all Muslim communities? I doubt it. I don't know that all the whole
29:08
Muslim faith practices that because you don't get enough information.
29:13
There's not enough information out there about it.
29:16
But you could argue that we're doing that in America, right?
29:20
By doing gender transitions for minors?
29:25
Is that not a contradiction? Cutting off a little boy's cock or putting a little
29:31
girl on hormone blockers?
29:35
To me, that's right up there with female genital mutilation.
29:39
And I promise you in the Muslim communities, the females do not choose that.
29:44
What about polygamy? Is that a feminist issue to bother with?
29:48
I mean, I think the Mormons still do that too, right?
29:52
Do they get shit on? I think so. Do the Muslims get shit on? I don't think so.
29:58
Not only multiple wives, but... Well...
30:03
Some Muslim countries, you've got 50-year-old men marrying 10-year-old girls,
30:09
getting sold off to them for marriage or whatnot.
30:13
So where are the feminists at on all this stuff?
30:16
The leftist feminists, where are they at on all this stuff? Now,
30:20
I'm not assuming all feminists are leftists.
30:23
I'm kind of speaking in general terms, but there are libertarian and more conservative
30:29
feminists who simply believe that women's empowerment and all that without adding
30:36
all this political ideology onto it.
30:39
It seems like a political thing, but it's not. It's a cultural thing.
30:43
It's sort of about societal norms and attitudes.
30:48
So, yeah, I'm not assuming all feminists are progressive leftists,
30:54
but I don't hear the progressive leftists speaking up about it.
30:58
And so the burka, I guess, depending on who, if you're on the left,
31:03
you can say the burka empowers women. If you're on the right,
31:06
you go, that seems very oppressive to me.
31:10
Contradictions. So, in a whole different direction,
31:18
what of these folks who promote and even champion drag queen story time in elementary schools and whatnot?
31:32
And then they turn around and become speech code enforcers, and they attempt
31:40
with all their power to deplatform anybody who disagrees or critiques,
31:46
and then they feel like they have sole domain over defining what hate speech is.
31:55
Completely excusing their side inciting violence or telling you to go out and kill a Nazi.
32:07
Speaking of codes, Nazi is code for anybody who's not a progressive leftist.
32:13
There's a contradiction there. They want it for everybody. They want to define
32:19
and characterize what is able to be freely spoken about and critique.
32:26
It's a contradiction. It's a gigantic contradiction.
32:31
Free speech, by the way, is one of the only things that we're talking about
32:34
here that shows up in our Constitution as an unassailable, unalienable right,
32:45
not to be tampered with, not to be tinkered with free speech or some other where
32:53
are some other unique contradictions?
32:59
What about all these climate activists who make just unreasonable demands on
33:07
America and Europe about the way we,
33:14
produce energy and the way we,
33:19
grow food and consume food even,
33:24
and they will lecture us on sacrifice, on environmental stewardship,
33:31
and then they will ally with China or India on some geopolitical thing.
33:41
They'll ride along with whatever's convenient.
33:46
Look up, go, do a Google Maps search of Mumbai or New Delhi or somewhere.
34:00
Find one of the big cities and just kind of zoom in and look at the rivers.
34:05
Look at the Ganges River.
34:08
You got all the you know the liberals love the sort of Hindu sort of stuff and
34:14
the yoga and all those those eastern influences that are all peaceful and all this and that,
34:22
and then they're going to lecture us about environmentalism go check out the Ganges River.
34:30
Epic contradictions what's another thing I'll tell you what let's go back to
34:36
communism The lefty, progressive, socialist, whatnots They love to use rhetoric,
34:45
Where they centralize the working class The working class We have to seize the
34:51
means of production They couldn't do it without the working class,
34:56
And they push that identity And then they push these sort of identity hierarchies That.
35:06
Rhetorical arguments that completely disregard actual workers who just want to make a living.
35:16
Yeah, I need a job. I want a job. Well, we got to strike. We got to come together. We got to unionize.
35:23
But if that same worker don't use the correct pronouns or don't agree that reparations
35:28
are a thing then that that person is cast out,
35:33
you're cast out you're no longer a part of the victim class you're a victimizer same guy,
35:41
two days later he's now a victimizer where he was a victim because it fed a
35:47
narrative here but he disagrees with your narrative so now he's an oppressor,
35:54
class warfare.
35:55
Fuck yeah. I am going to wrap this up here. This is a minute.
36:04
How the liberals and progressive liberals juxtapose individual liberty with
36:14
absolute government control is beyond me. And I.
36:22
Philosophical crux of the matter is that, well, classical liberalism,
36:28
which I would consider myself a classical liberal, because I kind of liken that
36:33
to libertarianism of today.
36:37
Classical liberalism valued individual rights over state power for sure freedom
36:45
of speech freedom of property to own property,
36:49
freedom to exercise your own conscience as you see fit as long as it doesn't
36:55
violate non-aggression,
36:57
and limited government absolute minimal government That's classical liberalism.
37:03
How the leftists got tagged with the term liberal, I don't understand.
37:09
Modern progressivism is the opposite of everything I just said.
37:14
They want expansive, massive state control over the means of production,
37:20
energy, economy, health care, industry.
37:27
They want to choose who the redistribution efforts go to, who has to give in
37:35
order for us to decide who gets.
37:39
Overregulating business, they do that. That's their shtick.
37:44
Taxes, that's their shtick. They tax everything possible.
37:50
Modern progressives are not forced free speech for everyone. It's provable.
37:56
And they coined the term hate speech, however long ago, the 90s maybe.
38:06
Not only want to ban certain speech, but they want to compel certain speech.
38:11
There was a little error there, time period there, just in the past few years,
38:16
that, heaven forbid, you misgender someone.
38:22
Your whole life and career ruined, or never mind even by accident,
38:27
on purpose. You're ruined.
38:31
That's compelled speech. That's not free speech. They want to take over education.
38:36
They want to replace actual metric, you know, what's the word I'm looking for,
38:41
merit with DEI, proceed prop policies.
38:46
In fact, is it Oregon, Washington State, maybe somewhere, maybe a,
38:54
is it a mayor or is it a governor?
38:58
They're taking away metrics for education, like testable metrics.
39:05
So it's all kind of fluid and you there's nothing to pass or fail now there's
39:10
different types of education out there folks but this ain't going to work out i promise you,
39:15
everything that they've done in the great northwest has come back to bite them
39:18
in the ass i point you to defund the police.
39:23
Hell they even want to control biology,
39:25
the progressive left and they want government to pay for transitions,
39:33
and they want transitions to be able to start as a minor,
39:36
and they want to enforce that. They want to mandate that.
39:40
So they're the opposite of classical liberals. But when it comes to personal,
39:44
stuff, liberties, abortion, yeah, it's your thing. You do what you want.
39:52
So, yeah, here, we'll build a clinic for you to go shoot up in so you can have a safe place.
39:58
Or sexuality, yes, go be as promiscuous as you want.
40:02
Have sex with everything, everybody. Good.
40:06
Yes, oh, it's a core personality. Yeah, it's not just a deviation. It's natural.
40:13
Yeah, it's just a sexual orientation. You want to have sex with kids?
40:16
Sure, sexual orientation.
40:19
They're they're happy to be very liberal libertarian on that.
40:24
Do what feels right do what feels good to you that's all good until what feels
40:30
good to you is in contrast with them on everything else in a functional society,
40:37
the left is not quite so what about controlled borders no forget it they don't
40:42
want that you to have a functional society you need that How you control them
40:47
is one thing. That's another argument.
40:50
That's another chapter. That's another podcast.
40:54
The fact is there needs to be some level of control and accountability.
40:58
What about reducing crime? What about criminal justice reform?
41:03
Where are they at on that? Where are all these liberal politicians on that?
41:07
If they were serious about it, they wouldn't try to go from A to Z to completely overhaul.
41:15
They would incrementally fix problems to a point to where you got from A to about, you know, L.
41:23
Because there's always going to be this. So compromise is necessary,
41:26
but they refuse. The hard right and the hard left refuse to compromise.
41:32
What about family structure? The bedrock of our society.
41:36
The progressive left want to get rid of it.
41:40
They want the family structure to be the government. Thank you.
41:46
Say, here's their favorite thing. It takes a village.
41:51
I wish I could remember the exact quote. A liberal politician said that your children,
42:01
that you don't have domain over your children, the government does,
42:06
something like that. I paraphrase that.
42:08
I wish I could remember it, though. Damn, I wish I would have looked that one up.
42:13
I remember it. I just don't remember the The person.
42:17
Yeah The progressive left Are not liberal They want max control And they want
42:24
to do it Via government Via law So that now If you oppose You're insurrectionists,
42:32
Punishable Probably by death,
42:35
So all that You know All this stuff All these All these These little selective
42:41
Little catchphrase Slow your body Your choice Well, that's great.
42:45
Well, your body, your choice.
42:48
Kill the baby if you want. What about Mead is murder?
42:52
Don't kill the cow. You can't kill the cow.
42:57
But you can kill the baby. So for the progressive left, the collective decides the value of life.
43:05
And that collect as defined by the bureaucrats and the activists within the
43:10
collective. So at some point, you, as a follower of this ideology,
43:16
you're not a decision maker.
43:18
So then there's going to be a hierarchy. And so up here at the very highest,
43:23
they're still eating meat, by the way.
43:25
They'll tell you meat is murder, but they're eating really good meat.
43:31
And you're not going to be getting any of that. So the result of all this contradiction
43:37
is just a jumbled and air incoherent.
43:46
I started to hesitate to even call it a system, but it is a system.
43:49
I think the contradictions are a part of the strategy.
43:53
But what it truly is is authoritarianism wrapped up in the logic of,
44:01
they use the word liberal logic, but it's not.
44:07
I think even the word liberal is strategic to try to, because the left loves to redefine things.
44:14
They love semantic they do the semantic battles they don't do substantive battles,
44:21
they don't argue substance it's all semantics.
44:29
Exactly like communism.
44:32
Anybody who argues that the progressive left does not want full-blown communism,
44:38
is either willfully blind or ignorant.
44:42
So the contradictions are epic. They hate Christians. They hate Christian influence,
44:48
which our country was founded on Christian influence.
44:53
It was, whether you like it or not. all the men I can't remember the number
44:59
I think all but two of the men that signed the Declaration of Independence were Christians,
45:04
and they all at some point or another in some document or another quoted the
45:08
influence of faith on our founding okay that's a fact,
45:15
but the left hates the Christian influence on anything to do with government,
45:20
but then they tolerate the import of Sharia ideology,
45:24
And they have much, much more aggressive theocratic ambitions than the Christians do, I promise you.
45:31
They demand segregated spaces.
45:37
While decrying segregation. They champion the oppressed and the victim and then,
45:44
implement policies that hurt the oppressed and the victim.
45:49
With all this orthodoxy. Because they want a level of purity for sure,
45:54
but they want it to be pure leftist purity.
46:01
I think a lot of this is strategy it's not the contradictions aren't just like
46:06
oh man they're just dumb they're not dumb,
46:10
the people crafting all this stuff they're not dumb at all so i think it is strategy,
46:17
and these contradictions aren't just random glitches in the thought process,
46:23
and otherwise what they're not glitches in the solid a solid system,
46:30
they're features of the system they're features of this ideology,
46:36
that well really prioritizes power
46:39
and control especially control over the narrative the way you feel and.
46:47
Prioritize that power and that control over consistency and over actual human,
46:54
progress, individual human progress.
46:58
They can't stand for an individual to succeed on his own merit. They can't stand it.
47:04
If you succeed, we got to make a policy to where everybody else succeeds.
47:09
Well, that's impossible. So what does their policy do?
47:12
It takes the one who succeeded and knocks them down.
47:15
Most of these things I said, well, there's a lot of factual stuff in there that
47:21
I stated, right? Factual stuff.
47:24
And all those facts, however you shape them up, whatever, they don't care about
47:29
your intersectional flow charts, right?
47:33
These contradictions are dangerous.
47:36
And I hope they're unsustainable. I think they're unsustainable.
47:39
A contradiction can't last that long sooner or later somebody sees it recognizes
47:45
it calls it out and quashes it so they're definitely dangerous,
47:51
especially if they're done as a strategy on purpose,
47:54
but i hope that they're unsustainable and they and that they can't they can't succeed,
48:00
because reality does have a way about exposing that stuff reality is that one unknown it'll get you.
48:10
With, folks, is be curious about the contradictions. If it sounds like it is
48:18
a contradiction, be curious about it.
48:21
Examine it, but be very skeptical of it.
48:26
See what the deeper motives are. Is there a motive?
48:29
Is it some accidental contradiction, or does it look like it's designed to create,
48:35
this in order to achieve this be curious but be skeptical folks that's what
48:41
i'm leaving you with be curious but be skeptical,
