Latest / Honey Badger Radio / Is the Manosphere dead? Also, secret tips for writing manosphere villains! | Maintaining Frame 89
Transcript
- 0:00Hello everybody, and welcome to Honey Badger Radio. My name is Brian and
- 0:07I am here with Allison who just got in got back you had to restart.
- 0:11Yeah, hello, let's uh oh the topic today is Manisphere. Goodness,
- 0:18So is the Manisphere dead? Are we the Manisphere now? Brian A
- 0:25like we just outlasted everyone? Yeah? Were we ever the Manisphere? Well?
- 0:32Well, I do you want me to answer that, like if we
- 0:37are the Manisphere or not? Or is this rhetorical question for the audience?
- 0:41Sure, go ahead and answer that question if it if it inspires you,
- 0:47you know, well, I think that we are, whether we want to
- 0:50be or not, because I think that the problem is is that, you
- 0:54know, like it comes and it doesn't just come from people outside of the
- 0:59space that we're occupying, you know, like like people who don't know what
- 1:04that is, like people like I don't know, like you know, your
- 1:07typical kind of like either you know, I don't want to say it,
- 1:12like political commentators or cultural commentators that don't that don't know what the manosphere is,
- 1:18don't know what the red pillars or whatever, And they're generally just responding
- 1:21to the most prominent voices we've already seen it in the mainstream with people writing
- 1:26endless like pieces on you know, the Manosphere and using Andrew Tait or Fresh
- 1:32and Fit or the whatever podcasts as they're like essentially this is the the the
- 1:38example we're using, but they in every article men's rights activists specifically are named
- 1:45as part of it. So whether we like couldn't, it doesn't matter that
- 1:51we can like point to the ways that we're different, because we are being
- 1:55lumped in. And I think that it's by design, either because people are
- 1:59low information and they're ignorant, or they don't want to be interested, or
- 2:04they find that there is some benefit to throwing us in with that lot and
- 2:09so and so it doesn't just come from like people who don't know. It
- 2:13comes from within too. You get like you know, and I mean,
- 2:15I know people are gonna rage about this, but the truth is is that
- 2:19like Sidney Watson, for example, she used to do men's marches in Australia,
- 2:23like that was how we learned about her, and now you know,
- 2:25she rails against the manosphere or the red pill people as often as possible,
- 2:30and there's almost never like a consideration for maybe there are people like that are
- 2:36doing good stuff in the space, like like you know, it always comes
- 2:40back to like the biggest voices, and even some of the people who watch
- 2:44us, will you know, bombard me with messages saying you have to you
- 2:46have to denounce these people because they're making you look bad, even though like
- 2:52I don't know them, I don't associate with them, Like whoever it is,
- 2:54right Andrew Tate? Yeah, like we don't, but but Andrew,
- 3:00but we associated with him. But it doesn't matter though, because we're gonna
- 3:04be What I'm saying is that we can't distance ourselves from it. So instead,
- 3:10what we were going to ask is is that people, you know,
- 3:15like just try to your best to kind of promote the people that are doing
- 3:22the job well in your opinion, right, not like oh ask because I
- 3:25mean, like how many times, like should we do a series of videos
- 3:30where we like take down Fresh and Fit and take down Andrew Tate? How
- 3:32many videos does require? Is it a waste of our time to do that?
- 3:37Because in my opinion, it is because we could be like just doing
- 3:39what we're doing, and maybe you know, you could just people could just
- 3:43be like, yeah, I don't know why you're talking about those guys.
- 3:46You know, they're basically just PUAs on steroids. Why aren't you talking about?
- 3:52The media selects who they want to talk about. And then yeah,
- 3:55but then like the but the online that they wanted to talk about. Yeah,
- 4:00well the media they're they're like, we're talking about like the BBC and
- 4:03the ABC and like you know, the Canadian Broadcasting whatever, MSNBC. They're
- 4:09going to point people where they want the normies to go because they want to
- 4:15be the authority. They're like, oh, you guys want to know what
- 4:16the bananosphere is, or will tell you what the manosphere is. You want
- 4:19to know what in cells are, or will tell you what in cells are,
- 4:21right, And then they get to create the framing and they point people
- 4:26in that direction, and they use whoever they can find to be the most
- 4:31you know, easily sort of like easy to frame as toxic or harmful or
- 4:36misogynistic, and they make them into the poster boys, which by the way,
- 4:41boosts their profile. Why why are they so big? Because the media
- 4:46makes them big because their content supports a broader narrative. They won't promote people
- 4:51like us or or Janis Fiamngo, who's doing like amazing work because Janis is
- 4:57just not like it wouldn't work on her, right, So they go after
- 5:00the guys that are like, you know, playing at being masculine, that
- 5:03smoke cigars in you know, in fucking saunas with like lots of women,
- 5:09and they say, that's the manosphere, right, So it's like out of
- 5:14our control, like you can't, we can't, like I'm not going to
- 5:16be able to match that image. But it fits them. But the worst
- 5:20part is the saddest part, I'll say the saddest part is that there are
- 5:24people who should know better that still they fall into that frame and they start
- 5:30operating in the paradigm the media created kind of like how most people operate in
- 5:34the paradigm the feminist creative when they talk about patriarchy in the history or patriarchy
- 5:40in this other part of the world. They're doing the same thing. They're
- 5:43falling into the same traps, and they think that they're like intellectuals. Their
- 5:47egos get invested. They can't back out and say, holy shit, I
- 5:51was wrong, so they just continue to double down on that. And that's
- 5:55what we you know, what we're experiencing now is you know, like we're
- 6:00still doing the same work we've always done. I don't think the message has
- 6:04changed much. Maybe we've changed because it's been ten years, and maybe like
- 6:10are you know, some of our beliefs have moved a little bit here or
- 6:13there, but we still maintained I mean, yeah, go convinced that the
- 6:16relationship between the sexes is at the foundation of society. Yeah, you know
- 6:21exactly. Remember when when I would say this and people would pooh pooh it.
- 6:25But now I think people are realizing that I'm I was right. You
- 6:30know that this is this is a foundational issue, and that you cannot frame
- 6:33the relationship between the sexes in such a degrading, hateful way as we have
- 6:39the past seventy years with feminist allegation without having serious blowback. And this is
- 6:45what we're seeing is the serious blowback. I don't think that the red pillars
- 6:49as framed by the media would exist. Do you think they would exist if
- 6:54if family law was fair, if men had financial abortions, if male victims
- 7:00of domestic violence and sexual assault actually got recognized. You know, this is
- 7:04a reaction to a society that regards men as being expendable and justifies that with
- 7:11a narrative that the society that regards that men are expendable treats them with privilege,
- 7:17Like this is this that you know? Like I remember reading recently this
- 7:23article. It was sent to us by one of our patrons, thank you,
- 7:25Richard. It was an article on someone addressing the crisis of boys in
- 7:30UK schools and they were saying that boys are shamed, like they're institutionally shamed
- 7:40and it's leading to a rise of misogyny and girls will be most affected.
- 7:46And I'm like, all right, what you're talking about is boys being shamed
- 7:50by all the authority figures in their lives, or most of them, or
- 7:54at least they're neutral or actively pushing this shame, like the White Ribbon campaign,
- 7:59which is actually take responsibility for the sexual abuse, the sexual abuse and
- 8:03violence inflicted on girls and women by a minority. So you have to take
- 8:09responsibility for the behavior, the bad behavior of a subset of men that really
- 8:16have no relationship to you unless you're part of that subset. And we have
- 8:20pushed that on boys, which is a huge shaming narrative. We have allowed
- 8:26the situation to exist where every authority a boy ever meets considers herself justified to
- 8:33put him last while saying I'm putting you last because society puts you first.
- 8:39And then we push that on boys as well. So all of this shaming
- 8:45is resulting in boys not liking women and girls. Geez, I wonder where
- 8:50that's coming from. And the thing is that as long as people don't care
- 8:56about the initial harm they're doing to boys and men and only care about the
- 9:03far minor fallout, like the response. It's like we're punching a boy in
- 9:09the face, and when he bleeds on the girl's fist we complain about that.
- 9:15We call that misogyny. No, that's just a reaction, you know,
- 9:18Or even if he shouts out in pain, that's just a reaction to
- 9:22someone else's action, and that action needs to be recognized as the proximal cause.
- 9:28It's a proximal I don't know if that's the right word, the direct
- 9:31cause of the reaction. And we really struggle with that. And why did
- 9:37I get onto this, Oh? Yes, because if we actually had a
- 9:43place in our society for recognizing that men can be hurt men and boys can
- 9:48be hurt and protecting them from those harms, and they can be hurt by
- 9:52the women in their lives and protecting them from those harms. I don't think
- 9:56Andrew Tates or Fresh and Fits would have the t that they have. They
- 10:01get big because they're trying to help men deal with the society that is utterly
- 10:07indifferent to them to the point of actually malicious. And I'm afraid I got
- 10:15into this Twitter exchange with someone who said, oh, boys, girls have
- 10:18to deal with all kinds of stuff from blob and I said, okay,
- 10:24point to me to the institutions who teach girls that they are responsible for the
- 10:30sexual and domestic violence against boys and men, where they sit a girl down
- 10:35and say you better take responsibility for violence against men. And also point me
- 10:41to the institution that teaches girls, oh, you are responsible for oppressing men.
- 10:48And he was like, well, it's confidentiality, So I said,
- 10:50okay, point me to the campaigns like the White Ribbon campaign for girls,
- 10:56and of course you can't because there is one. Because the overwhelming institutional pressure
- 11:03is to tell boys and men that they are worthless unless they are serving girls,
- 11:07that they don't have a right to their own internal experience, and these
- 11:13red pillars are just a reaction to that. What do you expect They're trying
- 11:18to live in a world that apparently wants to turn men and boys into slaves.
- 11:24I know that sounds really really hyperbolic, hyperbolic, but what is it
- 11:31when you expect work from a class of people without being willing or regarding whatever
- 11:37they want in reciprocation for that work as to be entitlement. You look at
- 11:45a class of people and when they say, well, we want to work
- 11:48for X, which might be families, relationships, children that you get to
- 11:52keep, houses that you get to keep, and you call that entitlement.
- 11:56That is the attitude of a slave owned society, that you are that the
- 12:03society is entitled to a group of people's labor, regardless of whatever thing that
- 12:09they want for that labor. It's in fact them that's entitled to being to
- 12:15getting what is it, some kind of compensation for their labor. That once
- 12:20we're in that rhetoric where we think that men are entitled when they say well,
- 12:24this is why we participate in a society for a reasonable chance at having
- 12:30a family and children and a job and things that we can keep. You
- 12:35know, when we called men entitled for that, we're essentially saying that we're
- 12:39entitled to their labor, and what the hell is that? You tell me,
- 12:46everybody who thinks I'm being hyperbolic, you tell me what that is.
- 12:50You explain it. How society becomes feels like it's entitled to another group of
- 12:54people's labor. And if we got rid of all of that, if we
- 12:56actually had space for men genuine experience of vulnerability and their needs, they wouldn't
- 13:05be trying to square this circle with people like Andrew Tate and fresh and fit.
- 13:13Yeah. Sorry, that was along. That's all right. I just
- 13:16I'm what I'm I guess what we're gonna get at is what I think is
- 13:20happening. Is on top of again the fact that the framing is set up
- 13:28to where our perspective, like specifically here at HBr and people that are similar
- 13:35to us. I think Paul is like pretty on the same page as us.
- 13:39Even some migtile content creators have talked about how, you know, if
- 13:45we don't change the laws or we don't do something about things at the legislative
- 13:48level, then there's not going to be any significant change. And there is
- 13:52a lot of rhetoric in those circles about like getting laid and how to game
- 13:58women and all this stuff. I'm saying that those things don't have their place.
- 14:01But what I'm saying is is that what is happening is I think,
- 14:07is that the people who have the most cringe takes, or at least the
- 14:13takes that can most easily be exploited by the elites, by the establishment in
- 14:18terms of maintaining this framework of men are bad for women, right, In
- 14:24most cases, their content is being lifted up by the media and the algorithm,
- 14:31and I think that they have algorithms at work to do that. And
- 14:35the fact that our content does better on Twitter than anywhere else, despite Twitter's
- 14:41limitations, is kind of evidence of that. I'm not saying that Elon is
- 14:45our guy. I'm not saying that, So just stop typing now if that's
- 14:48what you're going to say. What I'm saying is is that the fact that
- 14:50he's not actively trying to like suppress, like Twitter is not actively trying to
- 14:56suppress us, and our message is reaching more people than YouTube and Twitch and
- 15:03what else are we on. I know we're on Rumble and Rumble is just
- 15:07kind of small, but i'd like you guys were on Rumble. But the
- 15:09fact that this, okay, I'll part this Okay, So what I think
- 15:15judging from what's happening with Twitter, and you can continue after this, but
- 15:18what I think what's happening with Twitter with the essentially the algorithm is no longer
- 15:26on our back, right, I think that honestly, I mean Karen's content
- 15:31is very is very good, but I think she got in just before the
- 15:37algorithm, oh for sure. Yeah, definitely before the apocalypse, but that
- 15:41wasn't when it started. Yeah yeah, yeah, So if you think about
- 15:46it, we might be equivalent to maybe not Karen's side, because I know
- 15:52that I'm not. I am not as charming as Karen is, because she's
- 15:54very charming, but we could have been closer to her size if the algorithm
- 16:00hadn't come down on us as hard as it did. And that's just judging
- 16:04from our growth on Twitter or exeter. What do you ever want to call
- 16:07it? You know? So, I mean this is a serious thing,
- 16:11like this is something that you know, It's just it's just an uphill battle.
- 16:15And part of it is because nobody wants to listen to things that generate
- 16:19understanding. They want to listen to strategies of how to deal with the enemy.
- 16:23This is what I've noticed, and maybe maybe what we're saying doesn't really
- 16:27generate understanding, because I definitely I'm holding to this line. If we don't
- 16:34extricate ourselves out of the mess that vilifying the relationship between men and women has
- 16:41dugs created, that we're not going anywhere, like we're going to continue down
- 16:48this road until we do that hard right turn and start doing something different.
- 16:55Okay, all right, I'm sorry hijack to your point, but continue.
- 16:59No, I'm just saying, so I guess what we're going to get into
- 17:03the Yeah, what we're actually going to talk about. Yeah, so you
- 17:07want to start with revenance since we're already on the topic of the Manisphere being
- 17:11dead? Do you want to start with that? Yeah? Sure, like
- 17:15that's what we come up here. So yeah, yeah, so I have
- 17:18it up here. I was gonna show a skipio, so maybe i'll do
- 17:22that while you're talking. All right, So there's this guy on Twitter named
- 17:26Revenant and uh, there's something kind of interesting about this that I thought it
- 17:30was worth sure, and but he he made this post on Twitter and like,
- 17:33you know, he's a good dude, So don't he's not our enemy
- 17:37at all. He used to like he used to watch our content. He
- 17:40said, we really lost something with the death of the Manisphere. The Manisphere
- 17:44was chiefly anti feminist, deep diving into source material, critiquing literature, activism,
- 17:48policy frameworks, et cetera. Red peel poa stuff is mostly black guys
- 17:53getting mad about vulgar sexuality stuff. Ten years ago, Manisphere posters were talking
- 17:59about the Dluthe model of domestic violence, the harms of no fault divorce,
- 18:03the kafka esque, a historicity of the feminist worldview. Now it's black guys
- 18:08winning out of about OnlyFans thoughts, the Dalute model is completely insidious by the
- 18:12way, I have scarcely heard of it even mentioned since twenty fourteen or so.
- 18:18Notice how all of the language presumes that she is a victim. So
- 18:21he goes and explains like the Dluthe model, and he's basically like trying to
- 18:25draw some attention, right, he says, I'm not saying the turn is
- 18:30surprising, But the odds of these the olds of these cliches, the thirty
- 18:33to forty year olds need to make need to making more of an effort to
- 18:38pass this knowledge on. Stardusk is one of the only intelligent guys still around
- 18:44and all he does is post Blackpill Dumer content, which is true. And
- 18:48I said to him, some of us are still here. And I think
- 18:52that what it pointed to is that everything he's saying is true. Like we've
- 18:56been talking about this stuff for ten years and we haven't stopped talking about it,
- 19:00like at every opportunity, like I try to talk about, you know,
- 19:04domestic violence, divorced child, custody, false allegations, all the usual
- 19:10suspects, the Duluthe model, you know, the title nine whatever, right,
- 19:15And I don't think I don't think it's a case of the you know,
- 19:19the Internet is easily distracted or it moves too fast or anything like that.
- 19:25I think that like this guy so I met, I messaged him,
- 19:27or he messaged me. He sent me a DM. He said, which
- 19:30one of you is this? Because it just says Honey Badger Arcade, So
- 19:33he doesn't know. And I said, I told him who I was,
- 19:36and he said, uh. And I said to him, I said,
- 19:40my name is Brian, I'm a Honey Badger Radio. I'm the Uh.
- 19:42If the manosphere doesn't look the way you remember, it's likely not because it's
- 19:45changed. It's more likely because the algorithm is promoting certain content creators more than
- 19:51others, and it's not likely by accidents. Andrew Tate and fresh and fit
- 19:55types a much easier to dismiss than we are, so we remain small and
- 19:59they come huge because they can much more easily be made into the Boogeyman.
- 20:03And not only that, but other other red pill Yeah, other red pill
- 20:08manisphere guys like your your Anthony Dream Johnson's and you know other dudes, they
- 20:15can also benefit. That's why they also, like you know, have big
- 20:19giant podcasts where they you know, bring on OnlyFans thoughts and dress them down
- 20:25and they get like tons of views and super chats because even though they get
- 20:29loaded, the narrative wins ultimately like the narrative that the media wants to push.
- 20:34Oh look, this is what the manisphere is, right, And that's
- 20:37why DHS, the Department of Homeland Security can like invest you know, six
- 20:42figures into various organizations. We have to stop those guys. But so it's
- 20:48like this feedback loop of like red pill and I don't even know like if
- 20:52these red pill guys are real like becks who I'm going to be having on
- 20:56the show b X we had on the show before. She's coming on a
- 20:59Monday, and she might have some mind blowing like revelation, some some more
- 21:04tea yes about like some of these dudes being like Glowe's, which of course
- 21:10does not surprise me because I said it. I was like, how many
- 21:11of these guys are FEDS? Like some of this shit is so like out
- 21:15of nowhere, Like you know, it seems artificial, and you have to
- 21:19wonder, right, what we're gonna say? Do? I wonder do you
- 21:22remember what was there any time? Like I remember there was a time when
- 21:26I was so innocent I would have been like, no, yeah, oh
- 21:33where you would have thought, oh, that's just conspiratorial nonsense. The FEDS,
- 21:37why would they Why would they come into red pill Reddit? Yeah?
- 21:41Why would they have an interest in the man? God damn, I mean
- 21:47they're coming after fucking people playing roadblocks online, Like why wouldn't they come for
- 21:52the manager? God comes so freaking jaded. I think No, I think
- 21:57no, I think that it's just the truth. I don't. I don't
- 22:00think it's I think it's good, Like I honestly think I don't think anybody's
- 22:03gonna argue with that anymore, Like I say, if we say, yeah,
- 22:07there's FED plants and they plant like red pill people to make seem like
- 22:14this is the content right right, or the reason why we don't get big
- 22:18is actually we are being targeted by the algorithm and both agencies. I don't
- 22:23think anybody's going to be like, oh, you're crazy anymore any eats.
- 22:29No, I think anywhere that in particular, men congregate online no matter what
- 22:34it is. It could just be a bodybuilding forum. You know, there
- 22:37will be FEDS there, I promise you, like they're they're monitoring men specifically,
- 22:42no matter where they are. It could be like fucking guys teaching each
- 22:45other bowling techniques, and they'll be they'll be FEDS in there saying team of
- 22:53foremen exactly. Actually the FEDS will literally be service is for men. Yeah,
- 23:00maybe they'll just I'd be like, oh, the the the men's shelter,
- 23:04all of the staff are FEDS, you know, the Men's helpline,
- 23:07all the staff are FEDS. And then finally we'll actually have government services because
- 23:11it'll be all staffed by FEDS trying to trying to infiltrate and make sure.
- 23:18I don't know, I just want that. Well. I think it is
- 23:22funny because I mean and I wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
- 23:26wait okay, okay, okay, okay, Feds guys who are listening,
- 23:27I think it's a great idea for you guys to start constructing men's domestic violence
- 23:33shelters and helplines. Now, you have to remember that you have to stay
- 23:37in character the entire time, of course, so you have to offer them
- 23:41legitimate, non feminist help. But I think this would be a great way
- 23:45for you to prevent terrorism. Oh shit, I said the word furinism.
- 23:52It would be a great way for you to prevent furries. Okay, I
- 23:56think that would be a great way for you guys to set up genuine men's
- 24:00helped there. There are definitely FEDS in the furry communities. I'm sure of
- 24:04it, sure of it. You know, it's probably they're probably more FEDS
- 24:08than furries, honestly, but I wouldn't be surprised. You There was like
- 24:15a story I remember a story where a bunch of guys like where there was
- 24:19like this fed op and none of the like the almost every man involved in
- 24:25the op was a FED, and they weren't aware of each other and so
- 24:27they were all like, I'm serious. I'm pretty sure it was somebody in
- 24:33the chat probably remembers I remember hearing about that from some time ago. Anyway,
- 24:37So so I said this to Revenance, right, and I said,
- 24:41he said, completely agree. They are a real problem because they use the
- 24:44serious work you guys did and springboarded off of it to run a grift.
- 24:47And I said, not much we can do about it except continue to create
- 24:49content and hope that more people will talk with us. And then he said,
- 24:52I you know, I used to listen to your stuff and I didn't
- 24:55know you guys were still around. And he hasn't answered, but I mean
- 24:59what I wanted to ask him is okay, so like if you wait,
- 25:00but if you used to watch us, then why like, like have you
- 25:07no? I know we never stopped making content, but what I think happened
- 25:11is that people were being unsubscribed, unfollowed from our account, along with a
- 25:17lot of other ones. Because we know this has happened to doctor Randmrakham.
- 25:21We know this happens all over I know that I know plenty of guys like
- 25:25yeah, so so like that's the algorithm Jonathan from my channels, like it's
- 25:30ridiculous, and he's like, why am I no longer receiving your content?
- 25:33And then he looked into it and he'd been upset. My husband had been
- 25:37unsubbed for my channels exactly. So I think that I told him and if
- 25:41you're listening, because I sent him my message saying we're doing the stream revenent.
- 25:45If you're watching this, first of all, hello and thank you for
- 25:48the message. But were you did you unsubscribe or were you unsubscribed by the
- 25:52algorithm, because I think that there was I mean, this is why we
- 25:56stopped putting content on the main channel, because there was this weird, fishy
- 26:00stuff going on. And that's why, by the way, I'm trying to
- 26:06promote Rumble and also our Twitter because apparently that does the best. Was that
- 26:11what happened with the main channel is well okay. So our channels have been
- 26:17subject to a lot of strikes. Once we got a strike for showing a
- 26:22man being groped by a woman in public on his like over the clothing to
- 26:29discuss the issues of people not caring about men being sexually assaulted, and we
- 26:33got a hit for that because you aren't supposed to show people being sexually assaulted
- 26:40in a titillating manner, and like what And then we got other hits for
- 26:45other stuff that was all erroneous and it nearly knocked out our Badger live streams
- 26:52channel. But what ended up happening is oh, and we also got an
- 26:56erroneous copyright strike from a creator, a trans woman creator who got upset at
- 27:03some respectis oh Tina, Tina? Was it Tina? No? No,
- 27:07no, wait when we had her on for a fireside chat or that person.
- 27:11No, no, that wasn't That wasn't that different trend has nothing to
- 27:15do with Tina. Okay, this so I had I actually made a whole
- 27:19bunch of stuff private and not bunkered down to weather that storm because it all
- 27:23happened within like a month, so it was I don't know if it was
- 27:27targeted, but you know, it's a little suspicious if everything's happening within a
- 27:30couple weeks of each other, you know. And so we bunkered down on
- 27:34the main channel, and I've kept the main channel and I occasionally put content
- 27:40on it. I am going to try to do more. But part of
- 27:41the reason why I stepped back is I'm focusing on my writing because I think
- 27:45storytelling is really where more of the change in the social attitudes is going to
- 27:49come from. But I keep it around and I keep putting occasional content on
- 27:55it because I feel like it functions as like an icebreaker. So if anything
- 28:03comes at us, it'll come at us through this larger channel, because they'll
- 28:07probably see it as the bigger threat and that might give us time to bunker
- 28:11down again. I know this sounds crazy, guys, but I've been having
- 28:14to play the defensive game for like eight years now, and everything that I
- 28:19do is predicated on defense. And speaking of defense, I really want to
- 28:23give a shout out to all of our supporters because the reason why we continue
- 28:27to be here after ten years, the reason why we may be one of
- 28:30the few men's issues content creators, like genuine men's issues content creators that are
- 28:37still going after ten years, is because of you guys supporting us. Like,
- 28:44the thing is that as much as I want to make sure that all
- 28:47that I would still have this voice out there, you know, you get
- 28:49into the movement of life and it gets more and more difficult to be able
- 28:53to do it. But the fact that you have funded our operation has meant
- 28:57we have been able to work at this for ten years and not disappear,
- 29:03even though YouTube really wants us to and probably the Alphabet agencies really want us
- 29:08to. Sure, but we are because of you. Yeah, we're being
- 29:15I think that's why this content and looking it's not I'm not boasting. I'm
- 29:18saying, like you know, there's plenty of people that are doing really good
- 29:22stuff, like Paul and Janice, Like I've said, people like TiAl Deer
- 29:26who's basically just just moved to Rumble Coletane. There's lots of guys making good
- 29:30content, they're just not on YouTube. And I would ask, remember there
- 29:34were guys that we used to see all the time. I remember, is
- 29:38it Shapin that was his name, or just a Carr or yeah, Like,
- 29:45there are plenty of people who used to do stuff. Some of them
- 29:48well we lost, like you know, Angry Angry, Yeah, my c
- 29:53crew. Yeah, I love microrew stuff. It was so good. Oh
- 29:57yeah, Angry Harry, Harry, the the the Man Woman, myth.
- 30:04You know, these guys were great. But like and Mike Buchanan. But
- 30:10like I think that like the only I can't do anything about the stuff that
- 30:17the that the the algorithm promotes and I and I think it's it is a
- 30:22lot of it is artificial promotion, but it also sort of like is a
- 30:26self perpetuating machine, you know, because if I was I could understand the
- 30:30temptation if I was like Fresh and Fit or Brian from the Whatever Podcast,
- 30:34not this Brian, but that Brian, and I saw that, Wow,
- 30:38you know, I'm getting millions of views, I'm getting lots of money.
- 30:41I'm gonna keep doing this. I'm gonna keep doing this. And then all
- 30:45the other people they feed into it, you know, like all of the
- 30:48guys in the Daily Wire make appearances on the Whatever podcast because it promotes their
- 30:52channel, and so they they're growing off of each other even and there and
- 30:56like there was this whole kerfuffle with this OnlyFans girl that you know, was
- 31:00like super degenerate on the show and then she's like turned to Christ and everyone's
- 31:04having a big debate about whether or not it's legitimate, and it's all it
- 31:08is is like good for them because the algorithm keeps them like that conversation kind
- 31:15of perpetually, you know, like a perpetual machine going and going, Like
- 31:19this Fresh and fitth thing where he like knocked up some stripper, and now
- 31:23everybody's having a talk about that, you know, and we're I mean,
- 31:27I just don't see the value in talking about that aside from what is it
- 31:33that normal men can learn from it, you know, like that That's why
- 31:37I was interested in the Crowder situation, for example, not because I wanted
- 31:41to like piggyback on the drama, because I didn't care about the drama.
- 31:45I'm looking at it more like, Okay, men, it doesn't matter if
- 31:48you do everything right, you save yourself and all of this other stuff,
- 31:52you can still be taken to the cleaners, Which means there has to be
- 31:55we have to have a talk about the laws. We have to have a
- 31:57talk about divorce and what it means means. Right, we can't really,
- 32:02we can't really you know, sort of pinpoint whether or not a woman is
- 32:08gonna be loyal or not all because we don't know, Like some women are
- 32:12gonna despite everything, they're gonna be good women, and some women, despite
- 32:15everything, are gonna be awful women. But what we need to look at
- 32:19is be able to talk about what are the incentives in place that move the
- 32:22needle on that, and like are they fair should we be talking about that,
- 32:28like, and this is very difficult to do because the temptation to just
- 32:32like piggyback off of it, yeah, go for the gossip is you know,
- 32:37very strong. I mean if you like are interested in growing, and
- 32:42I think that that's the thing, Like I would like to be able to
- 32:47be done just like do so like quietly go back to like like living in
- 32:53regular society or doing something else. I'd like that, but I can't.
- 32:59I'm kind of like invest it now, so I just have to like try
- 33:01to see this through. Well, I want to. It was a ship
- 33:06start the story, I mean it started in a shitty way, but now
- 33:08you're investing. Yeah, yeah, I want to see it through, and
- 33:14like you know, it'd be it would be great if like we could at
- 33:17least I wouldn't expect any of this to be fixed in my lifetime, but
- 33:22it would be great to see that we at least got the ball rolling towards
- 33:25a positive or so. But I do think I do think that I do
- 33:30think that there we have had a I think we've had an impact. I
- 33:35mean, like it doesn't show up obviously it's not directly with us, but
- 33:38there are people Again they're like they are approved, you know, in one
- 33:44way or another by the algorithm. Like people like like I already mentioned the
- 33:47guys that you know, you can call them drifters or whatever, but like
- 33:51the guys that use the talking points of people who came before them, like
- 33:55Kevin Samuels or whatever, or or they heard it around here. I mean,
- 34:00I'm sure that if they know about the Deluthe model and they know about,
- 34:02you know, some of the stuff that Karen's talked about, they're just
- 34:06using that, you know, going forward. I know Crowder had Karen on
- 34:08his show multiple times. He's not necessarily like a you know, a Manisphere
- 34:13guy, but he's certainly like talking around that and then other people. You
- 34:16know, it's sort of like how many degrees of separation? Right? But
- 34:21then there's also what was gonna say, the there is another side to it
- 34:29too that's rubbing off in its own way. There's like the I can't remember,
- 34:35I'm sorry, but I'm just saying there are people who benefit, and
- 34:37it just keeps perpetuating itself, and you know, I would like to see
- 34:42things. Oh yeah, but I've was saying it's it's having an effect,
- 34:45Like you know, I'm hearing a lot of these talking points coming from somewhere
- 34:49else, and I'm sure that they originated like where they first heard it comes
- 34:52back closer to where we are. Wouldn't say it's us, but closer.
- 34:55You know, maybe they saw a man woman myth video somewhere, maybe they
- 34:59saw an angry hairy blog somewhere or whatever, or someone else read it,
- 35:04you know, read something on a Voice for Men or CFM. I will
- 35:07say, what I think is exclusive to us is having, at least to
- 35:10me, is having stuck to my guns about the foundation of all of this
- 35:15being the issues between men and women, because we get distracted not just by
- 35:19the gossip but also by the political divisions, and it's like, no,
- 35:24this comes down to that, that relationship. I mean, where else does
- 35:29a society come from. These these elaborate structures don't form unless they facilitate the
- 35:34process of reproduction, and that means they tie into the relationship between the male
- 35:40and the female of the species. And if that relationship deteriorates, then you
- 35:45see a general deterioration of the entire society. And you know, it may
- 35:52be that there are particular interests who are invested in that they maybe they are,
- 35:58you know, maybe they're communists, maybe they're corporatists, maybe they're the
- 36:01Fed. No offense, you know, but yeah, no offense, you
- 36:08know. But their ultimate weapon is the destruction between this of the relationship between
- 36:15the sexes, and we need to fix that, and we need to focus
- 36:17on fixing that, and most people don't want to approach that. I see
- 36:24all of this political stuff and the gossip as deflections because people don't want to
- 36:30question something fundamental about themselves, which is how they've structured their identities. It
- 36:36takes a rare bird to be able to tolerate something like that. And what's
- 36:40interesting is that when I've been, of course learning how to write or improve
- 36:46my writing, and I read books, and recently I write a book.
- 36:52I will get you the title later because it's not coming to me off the
- 36:54top of my head. But they said this, this particular guide to storytelling
- 36:59said, start this story when your main character encounters something that questions their identity,
- 37:07that that puts their fundamental identity into question. So, for example,
- 37:13if you have a character that thinks of herself as being the most effective secretary,
- 37:19have her deal with the process of her office being computerized in her not
- 37:25knowing how to use computers, because that actually hits right at her identity as
- 37:31an effective secretary. Now she no longer can have that without gaining skills that
- 37:37she doesn't have, which means in the introim that she has to acknowledge that
- 37:40she's not effective. And so what you do is you And then the character
- 37:46has to make a plan how are they going to deal with this question of
- 37:51their fundamental identity? The question pose the threat posts to their fundamental identity,
- 37:54and that's the story. Okay, Well, what we talk about here challenges
- 38:01people's fundamental identity. We are now generations into believing that men oppress women.
- 38:09People have formed their identities on that as men and as women for summary of
- 38:16But for men, the identity that they form around it is that they're the
- 38:21one good man, the one good man who deserves the women or a woman
- 38:28who has satisfied the woman or a woman, or the one good man who
- 38:31is only he's the only one who cares about women. That is the investment,
- 38:37that is the fundamental identity that they have derived from that structure. And
- 38:43then for women, I think a lot of women believe that if they don't
- 38:49keep an eye on men that somehow men are going to jump out of a
- 38:52bush with a net and drag them off to the sandwich mines. So they
- 38:58need this this sense of threat, this constant sense of threat, so they
- 39:02can maintain eternal vigilance over the men in their lives. And they actually have
- 39:09constructed an identity around this constant sense of threat. It's like an inborn anxiety
- 39:15disorder. And I also constructed an identity over how being seen as morally better
- 39:22than men, because that's really what it comes down to. Feminism makes women
- 39:27seem or be perceived as morally better than men. Men are the rapists,
- 39:31men are the abusers, men are the oppressors. Men are the hateful gender
- 39:36men men, men are the ones who are lesser morally than women, which
- 39:40means that women can always be right, at least morally, And that's another
- 39:46thing that they center their identity around. And when you're coming around, when
- 39:50you're trucking around, which is what I found over and over and over again,
- 39:53and you're like, hey, that doesn't seem to be really founded.
- 39:58Logically, people re act very badly because you are threatening something fundamental to who
- 40:05they think they are. I mean, and that's all, we're always going
- 40:08to be dealing with the headwinds that are forcing us back against that, Like,
- 40:13there's always going to be strong headwinds to that. And then you add
- 40:16on the the algorithm apparently making us invisible to people so that they think that
- 40:22the manisphere, the quote unquote manisphere is dead. I think what he's actually
- 40:27specifically referring to is the coalition of MiG Tao and like not coalition, but
- 40:32like, you know, sort of loose arrangement of Migtao and men's men's issues
- 40:37advocates and like the original PUAs who aren't as crazy. I don't think that,
- 40:43Yeah, I'm here, I'm here, but you are just going on.
- 40:46I don't think the PUAs have changed much. I think that, like
- 40:50I said, okay, so if we break down the manusphere into three parts,
- 40:52let's just keep it simple and leave out the in cells. I don't
- 40:55think that's that's a little bit different. So we just bring it down to
- 41:00the PUAs, the MRAs, and the Migtau. The PUAs haven't changed much,
- 41:06but they have grown, and I think the reason is because again the
- 41:09establishment can see that they're the easiest ones to demonize. Remember, when we
- 41:15started doing this, we had to constantly explain to people that we were not
- 41:20PUA's because they were trying to like label us with the pua, you know,
- 41:27like I don't know, with the stink of the pua, the black
- 41:30spot as it were, and it just wasn't true. And so and I
- 41:34think it's because they're the easiest ones. But even then, and I say
- 41:37this in defense of PUAs in general, like, there's nothing really wrong with
- 41:43wanting to like be, you know, learn how to get along well enough
- 41:47with women that you can get something out of it. I mean, I
- 41:52don't mean just sex. I think that a lot of the times most men
- 41:57are not just doing it for the sex. But some guys like these you
- 42:00know, fresh and fit types and stuff, they they boast about their conquests
- 42:06because they think that it like lends them more legitimacy so that they can sell
- 42:09more books and make more money. So, based on what I've heard,
- 42:14is it fresh fresh as and moron there? But there neither of them are
- 42:17super smart. No, But the thing is that like I'm not, I
- 42:21think he needs to be. I think he needs is IQ tested because I'm
- 42:23pretty sure it's sub one hundred sorry, Like why do you say, why
- 42:30would you say that? Like what, Well, because according to the story
- 42:35that I heard, he's having sex with women multiple without any kind of protection.
- 42:40Yes, I know that men don't have as many options, but that's
- 42:46different than simply like not doing anything right. And also apparently she was talking
- 42:52about she was giving the baby rabies signs. So I don't know. I
- 42:57don't know about any of that, but I mean, without getting swept up
- 43:00in the drama he did, maybe he did additional information, I don't know.
- 43:05Look, I don't I don't know the details. All I know is
- 43:07he knocked up a girl. Apparently that's like a big deal because he was
- 43:13like cool, or he was trying to get her to get an abortion,
- 43:15according to some leaked audio, and now he's the bad guy. And she
- 43:20was claiming that she couldn't do it because of her religion, which I thought
- 43:23was weird because I was like, yeah, but you're like an escort,
- 43:27like what religion allows for that? Like, well, you know what I'm
- 43:29saying now Again, I'm not taking sides. I think it's a mess.
- 43:32I think that there is a lesson for men to learn from this, which
- 43:36is, you know, don't be that guy. Don't don't do what he's
- 43:39doing. Well, it might even I mean, for all we know,
- 43:43like maybe you shouldn't even like be messing around with women at all, like
- 43:46not like that, because like even if you use protection, it's not a
- 43:50guarantee. So yeah, but I mean, be careful, use your own
- 43:53condoms, make sure that you have them on your person at all times.
- 43:59Don't don't become an idiot like this. Yeah, and I fully agree that
- 44:02men should have financial abortions, which would probably have made her think twice before
- 44:07sleeping with him in this circumstance without a legally binding contract indicating that they would
- 44:14raise any child that resulted from the union. What does that sound like?
- 44:20Jesus oh man. But yeah, I mean, like I think what he
- 44:23did was dumb. But at the same time, if we're going to allow
- 44:27women to be dumb, we need to allow men to be dumb as far
- 44:30as I'm concerned. Hello, yeah, I'm here. Yeah, yeah,
- 44:36I just thought you might have disappeared. Look, Jojo left so I had
- 44:39to let him out and Skip left too, so they both left. No,
- 44:44sad, No, that's it, that was it. I just wanted
- 44:45to, like, you know, talk about that a little bit. I
- 44:49mean, I just want to say it to a revenant again, We're not
- 44:52dead, We're still here. I think that what we would like is maybe,
- 45:00I don't know, like try to send people our way. I don't
- 45:02know what else to tell you. I asked you to share the video because
- 45:05sharing is carrying at the end of every dream, because I mean, it
- 45:08would help, It would be helpful if we could reach more people. And
- 45:13I know that this isn't like as clean as I would like it, and
- 45:17I lament that every day, but I still think that the message matters so
- 45:22clean well no, I mean like well, no, the quality of the
- 45:29I don't know, like we're really far apart. We're not like you know,
- 45:34it's not like a setup like they like these popular podcasts have. I
- 45:37just they have on the floor that kind of thing. Yeah, that kind
- 45:40of thing. Yeah, that's kind of Did you actually hear that or I
- 45:45heard something? It wasn't It wasn't terrible for me and I am wearing headphones.
- 45:49Just my my, my flailing caused some issues. I need to I
- 45:53need to like get some No, I'm not going to say that. I
- 45:57was going to say I need to get some rope and bind my No,
- 45:59that's let's not go there. All right, Well, I got a super
- 46:05child that I didn't read, so I should read it really quick and then
- 46:07we'll talk about the next thing. So ZARANX gave us five bucks and this
- 46:09was around six point thirty, so about half an hour ago, and he
- 46:14says, that's why I've advocated that we build on what they are correct about,
- 46:19state that and keep going. Wanting us to distance ourselves is part of
- 46:22the divide and conquer tactic that they're using. I've Lambassid Fresh because of his
- 46:27idiocy, despite their show giving out good information and providing foundations to build on.
- 46:31I think the same problem seen in the political realm exists in the manisphere.
- 46:36Why is Natty appearing to get cozy with feminists now? Because we or
- 46:39whomever take our distaste with one or a few people, and we erode our
- 46:44own ground. Every time that happens. We have date psych Brittany, Venti,
- 46:49Abba and Preach and whoever else spoiling what actually may benefit men. To
- 46:52borrow a line from Baldus Gate three paraphrase, courage doesn't show up in the
- 46:57results of the battle, but within the fight. Thank you zaraes, Yes,
- 47:00it's one hundred percent true. Like I'm I'm all for Look, I've
- 47:05seen it myself. I saw LP. Who's who I'm you know, I
- 47:09like him. He's a hypocrite. He used to be an m RA and
- 47:13he was. He made a whole video about the like using the fresh and
- 47:15fit thing, the whole incident as a as like the launching point to just
- 47:21shit all over the entire manisphere, men's rights activists included. And I was
- 47:25like, well that's not useful, like I mean, and I'm like,
- 47:29well, what kind of world do you want to live in? So like
- 47:30some of these people, you know, they're they they have like the you
- 47:36know, they got like the feminist perspective where we shouldn't exist because we're like
- 47:38dangerous to women or whatever it is, right, we want to we hate
- 47:42women, we want to oppress women, chain them to the stove, whatever,
- 47:45all the bullshit. And this is like, this is like the larger
- 47:49narrative. This is like the overwhelming, ubiquitous narrative that if you if I
- 47:52go to a stranger on the street and I say, have you ever heard
- 47:55of a men's rights activist, if they've if they've even heard of them,
- 47:59they've negative things most likely, like that's usually how it goes right, and
- 48:02I have to I have to do damage control on that. And then on
- 48:07the other side, you got like people who you know, used to be
- 48:10just like us or justice or they had their own like the demons in their
- 48:15history, and then they like become you know, they find God or whatever,
- 48:20and and then all of a sudden, now everybody else is inferior and
- 48:22they're being judgmental and shit, and I'm like, but you're not. You're
- 48:25not fixing anything, like you're basically just criticizing people, and and then you're
- 48:30acting like, oh, well, if only you were like me, then
- 48:34everything will be great. And it's like, yeah, but we're not like
- 48:36you, because that's not how the world works. You know, this is
- 48:38not this is not what you want it to be. This is what it
- 48:42is. We have to deal with what is and you have to be what
- 48:45you have to do. And I and I'm I'm kind of like, I
- 48:47guess, uh, piggybacking off of ZARANXX. You have to acknowledge what is
- 48:53good that people are doing. You have to acknowledge that, and then you
- 48:59have to ask for more of that and whatever needs correcting, you will.
- 49:06You can give the caveats, right, But like what, I don't know
- 49:09what these guys are creating. All I know is what I want to do,
- 49:13and I don't have the time to, like, you know, to
- 49:16make sure that everybody else knows that I'm not like those people, because it
- 49:21doesn't matter and it's a waste of time and energy. Yeah, it was.
- 49:23What do you prioritize? Do you prioritize talking about the actual issues or
- 49:27does distancing yourself from the people who've been lumped in with you because specifically that
- 49:31they want to stop you from talking about the actual issues. Yeah, they
- 49:36want you to spend your time defending yourself against these allegations against these people who
- 49:43probably are completely or being lumped in with people who probably have no interest in
- 49:46your issues in the first place. But here's the thing is, when you
- 49:52encourage what you want, you get more of it. And let's say let's
- 49:57say you've got fifty to fifty fifty percent bad, fifty percent good, and
- 50:02you encourage the good, Gradually you're gonna grow the good. You know,
- 50:07going to be sixty percent, forty percent, thirty percent, twenty percent.
- 50:10Maybe you'll get it to like ninety five percent good and then you're good.
- 50:15Then it's mostly good, it's overwhelmingly good, you know, And that's this
- 50:21is not even this is not what I'm seeing, Like the media, for
- 50:23example, his choosing to grow the worst because they become a great example of
- 50:30why the media is needed, and all of these initiates, initiatives. There's
- 50:34more intervention now with boys in the UK schools because of Andrew Taten than there
- 50:42was before because now, yeah, well they and they make they and they
- 50:46make it more famous and they make it more rich. So he makes more
- 50:50content and so it continues and now and then every time any anything comes up
- 50:53related to this, that's the guy that go to and even the people who
- 50:58know who we are are like, why don't you say something about that?
- 51:00It's like, but why like like, I mean, I care about simple
- 51:06things like do process, but I'm not gonna Why would I waste my time
- 51:09and energy? Yeah, like I got here's the thing. We got other
- 51:14things to deal with. Answer to this. Why do we have to answer
- 51:15to Andrew Tate? And Andrew Tate's platform more than the people who built it
- 51:20for them. That would be the mainstream media. M M Okay, they
- 51:23were the ones who created that freaking monster and choose to focus on it if
- 51:28you want to call it a monster, whatever it is, Like, let's
- 51:31move on. Is there anything more you wanted from this tweet? No,
- 51:35that's it. We should move on to the next thing. So I got
- 51:37a super chat, right, Yeah, I got a super chat from Albert
- 51:40Nata Retro gives us two dollars Canadian and says I do the best I can
- 51:45to get the word out about HBr. Thank you. Uh yeah, I
- 51:47know, I appreciate it, but I'm just saying, like, I think
- 51:50the algorithm is against us, especially on YouTube. So yeah, we got
- 51:53multiple things against this one. People don't want to focus on these issues because
- 51:59they've based fundamental aspects of their identity on them. I had. I had
- 52:04a run in with that recently, I think, and to the like,
- 52:08nope, well, we've also based fundamental aspects of our society on it on
- 52:14people having these attitudes. So it's a it's a big ask. I recognize
- 52:17it's a big ask for people to actually care about this stuff. So thank
- 52:22you everybody who's listening for caring about this stuff. All right, So should
- 52:25we talk about how we're right, So I want to give a shout out
- 52:30to Yeah, so we're gonna give a shout out to Packer Girl. Uh.
- 52:34Packer Girl is involve a gamer Gate too. She's she mostly talked about
- 52:38on her channel. It's kind of small, but she talks about localization because
- 52:43she's like the biggest weeb I've ever seen, but she reads manga and shit,
- 52:46and that's kind of like how she got involved with this. Because localization,
- 52:51which is essentially isn't the practice of like translating Japanese language content or like
- 52:58foreign language content and to like English, especially in specifically English localization. And
- 53:05when they do that, and this is like a thing that's been going on
- 53:07for a long time, the people involved in the translations, well they bring
- 53:12their feminist intersectional politics into it and they make changes to the translations, and
- 53:16they claim it's under this idea that you know, like, oh, well
- 53:20there's cultural differences and you wouldn't get the context, blah blah blah. But
- 53:22some people do it well. They often explain the context, especially if when
- 53:27it comes to like Japanese stuff. If you're like really into anime, then
- 53:31inevitably you're gonna become interested in Japanese culture because you're going to see so much
- 53:36of it, right, and you're gonna be like, well, why why
- 53:37do they have the gardens like that? Why is the food like that?
- 53:40Whatever? Right? So, anyway, Packer Girl had this threat that I
- 53:45thought was really interesting where she is talking about this Ubisoft lead writer. So
- 53:52Ubisoft is like a super pause company and always has been, and she writes
- 53:58as part of their long thread on writing villains, Bubisoft's lead writer Sarah a
- 54:04Ariano had this to say about men's rights activists. So we're making it into
- 54:09the video games, guys, we're in video games now. Of course,
- 54:16when she says men's rights acts, who knows what she really means. So,
- 54:21uh, let's look at this tweet. I guess. So this is
- 54:23Sarah Ariano and she says, in real life, when a man attacks a
- 54:29woman in rage, remember that he feels victimized by her. He sincerely believes
- 54:35that he is in danger and he's acting in self defense. Consider this when
- 54:38observing men's rights activists Alpha male military style training camps I Soaked BJJ black Belt,
- 54:45reaching an end to feminism. They're terrified of people half their size with
- 54:52half their rights. Consider that half my country literally believes that killing the other
- 54:57half will keep them safe. Villains don't wake up, crack their knuckles,
- 55:00cackle with glee, and get to work hurting others. They wake up scared
- 55:05and put all of their energy into protecting themselves. What were What country does
- 55:09she live in? Okay? So apparently we want to kill kill all men?
- 55:15Whoops? Sorry the little Freudian slip. Oh. The most common phrase
- 55:22that I've heard everywhere is kill all men, not kill all women. Yeah,
- 55:28I don't see. The worst that the menosphere seems to want to do
- 55:32to women is to actually have sex with them or a relationship with them or
- 55:37not. Like very rare. Do you see anyone in the in the quote
- 55:40unquote manosphere, especially not men's rights activists saying, you know, this is
- 55:45so absurd. I don't need Why do we even have to defend against it?
- 55:51It's just I mean, I don't know like what to say. We
- 55:53know that the tweet that I'm seeing is not that one. It's still the
- 55:57Revenant one. Oh why am I not? Wait a minute? What are
- 56:01you sure? Why is it sharing? Let me go back and share it
- 56:06again. Are you seeing it now? You should see it? Are you
- 56:09seeing it? No what I don't know. No, I'm displaying it.
- 56:15It's showing here all right here, let me let yeah, just take my
- 56:20word for it. Okay, you might be a glitch on your problem,
- 56:22but I am. I am sharing it. Okay. Zarax gives his five
- 56:28bucks super chat and says, I'm surprised to see Packer Girl involved. I
- 56:30knew about her years ago because Tommy Soda Mayor had her on his show Simmy
- 56:35regularly. Well that's weird. I only know about her from gamer gay two.
- 56:38So and it's weird too because I've been like trying to reach Tommy Soda
- 56:42Major to get him on. He was supposed to do it like a while
- 56:45back, but he's not the most reliable guy unless you're really big. He's
- 56:50like another one of these people that you have to be like big enough to
- 56:52get his attention, and we're just not. But yeah, I'm still I'm
- 56:57also trying to get Packer Girl on. So if you guys have like the
- 57:00inside scoop, I like her because she does a lot of good work and
- 57:06she's kind of like, you know, Savvy who we had on the show
- 57:09like last week, who's also doing work, good work. Too, but
- 57:14okay, anyway, so let me see. I'll read the rest of the
- 57:19thread here that she also shares. Holy crap, this is like a big
- 57:22image. So maybe if I share this you'll see it. Here we go,
- 57:27all right, can you see this thing I'm sharing? Allison? Are
- 57:30you there? You're muted? You're there? No? Still revenant? Oh
- 57:35weird? Okay, well I don't know why it should be sharing. All
- 57:38right, so this is technical difficulties that only attacts me yet I don't know.
- 57:43Yeah, apparently everybody else can see it. So Sarah Aliano goes on
- 57:46and she says, when writing villains, remember that they all think they're victims.
- 57:51They're never the brain announcing that tonight he will try to take over the
- 57:54world. They are aggrieved people who sincerely believe they are creating justice. Wow,
- 58:00this is so much projection. Do you know if you just listen to
- 58:02this, she's telling you exactly what she thinks, like she's telling you about
- 58:07herself, because these people always project. And she was getting quote interesting exchange
- 58:14like it was with the guy who I was talking to about Well, show
- 58:17me the show me the receipts, Where is the where are the initiatives that
- 58:21tell girls that they're responsible for pressing men and that they need to take responsibility
- 58:28for all. I'll send you the look. I'll say you some link so
- 58:30you can look at it on Twitter instead. If it's not working, Yeah,
- 58:35that's fine. But I was talking to this guy and what he did.
- 58:37I said, somebody else talked about how it's women's choices that lead them
- 58:43to be less represented in STEM and I mentioned the gender equality paradox, which
- 58:49is the more freedoms women have, the more they choose not to go into
- 58:55the maths and scientists science, and he dismissed my evidence. While he said
- 59:04you dismiss evidence, I'm like, seriously, okay, you're you're gonna do
- 59:09exactly as you do what you accuse me of doing. You are going to
- 59:15accuse me of doing it. Yep. Like how do you how do you
- 59:21deal with the mentality like that? Like the instant he does something he doesn't
- 59:25like about himself, he puts it on you, It's like, well,
- 59:30okay, all right then all right. So she was responding Sarah Ariano to
- 59:40someone named Monique Botha is actually they them and that person is saying, there
- 59:45was a post on our relationships and it's living rent free in my head.
- 59:49Some Women who Love plants was some woman who loves plants was having a bad
- 59:53run of it with some of her most prized plants dying and couldn't figure out
- 59:58why, and it was slowly crushing her. And it turns out her husband
- 1:00:00was poisoning them. Now I don't know the context of that, but apparently
- 1:00:07that means he hated the plants and hated his wife and killed her plants on
- 1:00:13purpose. No, no, no, you're not okay, you're too small,
- 1:00:15dude, you're thinking too small. That means that all men are responsible
- 1:00:20for this woman's plants dying. Oh, yes, that's right, of course.
- 1:00:23And he says, hey, maybe all men aren't responsible for the actions
- 1:00:29of this one man is a men's rights activist who's saying that because they hate
- 1:00:34women and want to kill half the human race. Of course, because that's
- 1:00:38what that's what villains do. Like taking the four quote that's what heroes do
- 1:00:44and inverting it. There's no logical logic behind it. All it is is
- 1:00:47they have a weapon, and when you piss them off, they draw it
- 1:00:52and pointed at you and say, yeah, what punk, you want to
- 1:00:54do something? Punk? That's all they're doing. Like this entire allegation all
- 1:00:59they want. I want to kill half half the human Okay, No,
- 1:01:02I'm really lazy. I don't even want to kill an ant I do know,
- 1:01:08and I don't even like killing. I mean, I pause before I
- 1:01:13swat a goddamn mosquito. And I have to think about the ethics. Well,
- 1:01:16they spread disease, so you know, I can't you know, or
- 1:01:20a fly, well, you know, you can't have a whole bunch of
- 1:01:22them in your house. They'll spread shit, right, And but I still
- 1:01:28have to I'm not gonna kill myself or I don't know, US's kind of
- 1:01:32murder suicide, kill all the women in the world and myself like no,
- 1:01:38Like this is absurd, but it still works on people because people are that
- 1:01:45afraid of violence against women. That's what they did. They just constructed a
- 1:01:49weapon to use against everyone, and they keep using it over and over again,
- 1:01:52and everybody goes up to the they go up to the gun woman and
- 1:01:55they're like, well, that's illogical. You're you're against property rights, you're
- 1:02:04against parents' rights, you're you're you're Okay, I'm gonna do this. Don't
- 1:02:07get too offended. You're a you're being communist, and it's logical. Everything
- 1:02:10you're saying is illogical. It just doesn't make sense. Well, it doesn't
- 1:02:15freaking matter. She's got the gun. At the end of the day,
- 1:02:17she wins. It doesn't matter how illogical, stupid, or ridiculous or outrageous
- 1:02:22or abusive she is. She's the one with the gun. And until you
- 1:02:27take the gun away, she just be the one with the gun. And
- 1:02:30she's the one who sets the rules. And that's what she's doing. She's
- 1:02:32just like, yeah, I don't like these people, and if you disagree,
- 1:02:36well I got a gun. That's it. Yeah, anyway, continued
- 1:02:43all right, So Sarah Sarah Ariano, I'm just gonna read this whole this
- 1:02:47whole clip, this whole thread here because I think it it basically, I
- 1:02:52mean, just just listen to it and then think, like, who is
- 1:02:55she really talking about? Again? This way creates a new dynamic between characters
- 1:03:00and a richer interpretation of the human experience. The villain's victims stay because they've
- 1:03:05been fed the villain's grievance. Then they become villains themselves, think Carmela Soprano.
- 1:03:12Remember also that the hardest thing to do is admit wrongdoing. People will
- 1:03:16go any length to avoid it. Any length wrongdoing leads to banishment from the
- 1:03:22group down to the marrow of our bones. We as humans pack animals,
- 1:03:27are terrified of banishment. I'm rereading The Shining after twenty years away. It's
- 1:03:31so terrifying, far more so than the film, because it's about how addiction
- 1:03:36and victimhood talks to you, how it lies, how we justified vility to
- 1:03:39ourselves, how many chances are given to change course, and how we don't
- 1:03:45What Stephen King must have gone through to write that story, I can't imagine.
- 1:03:49Well, Stephen King is a fucking nut job. To be great storytellers,
- 1:03:52we have to tell the truth to ourselves about ourselves. So I think
- 1:03:59that's the thread. Be Yeah, that's that's basically the thread. So when
- 1:04:05she's talking about in that thread, I'm just saying, tory Teller's you have
- 1:04:14to be Yeah, you're sure, you have to be self aware, although
- 1:04:15obviously there's plenty of lunatics that become writers. You have to tell the truth
- 1:04:23to yourself. Sarah Arelio, Well, I mean she presumes that it's true
- 1:04:29that men want to oppress women, and that it's not actually toxic shaming to
- 1:04:32perpetuate this everywhere, it's not actually something that's causing significant harm to perpetuate because
- 1:04:40it's she's she's that's her victim narrative, and it justifies all of the ways
- 1:04:45that she doesn't care about and victimize others, including condemning people who are interested
- 1:04:54in the human rights of men or the legal rights of men, whatever you
- 1:04:58want to call it. People who are interested in creating a society that actually
- 1:05:01cares about the experience of men in it and doesn't just treat them as expendable.
- 1:05:06Yeah, that's what she thinks about. That's automatic, like not,
- 1:05:12you know, not, Okay, Well, I've seen men's rights activists do
- 1:05:15this. I've seen men's rights activists do that. I don't know where she'd
- 1:05:18see any of this stuff, Like, yeah, I have animists towards feminists.
- 1:05:23That's because I've seen them for years shut down, remove and destroy services
- 1:05:29for vulnerable men. You know, literally they put the ideology of victimhood,
- 1:05:34of female victimhood, even over female victims. And it's just at this point,
- 1:05:41I'm like, yeah, I is there anything good about this? Because
- 1:05:45all I've ever seen is bad, and I'm not interested in lying about that
- 1:05:49anymore, just just to maintain an identity that I never had. I don't
- 1:05:54think I ever, or at least not to a great degree, created an
- 1:05:58identity over being victimized by men, right, So it was very easy for
- 1:06:03me to challenge all the nonsense that goes into constructing that. And of course
- 1:06:09I'm a weird autist, so the social censure doesn't really bug me that much
- 1:06:14either, for you know, because I'm a weird autist. I much prefer
- 1:06:18the truth. But so this is like, like you were saying, Brian,
- 1:06:23this is entirely projection. Oh yeah, literally doing what she says other
- 1:06:28people are doing. It's not just projection, it's also scapegoating mm hmm.
- 1:06:34Like she's ritually pressing her sins onto the scapegoat and then slaughtering it. I
- 1:06:42mean, not not literally but figuratively, you know what I mean? Yeah,
- 1:06:45pushing it out as not her part of herself. Yep. I don't
- 1:06:50do this. Yeah. Well, good, good lord. So I got
- 1:06:55another super chat from master Robe. Thank you, Master Robe. He says,
- 1:06:59remember that one article that described patriarchy and had citation needed next to it?
- 1:07:03Good times for five dollars. Thank you, Master wrote appreciate it.
- 1:07:06Those were the days, yes, boy, the way Glenn Miller played.
- 1:07:14Okay, so that's the thread that's Ubisoft today, or it has been for
- 1:07:20a while. Let's be real, I don't they They've been pretty woke for
- 1:07:25a long time. Yeah, it's interesting that there's a little bit of crossover
- 1:07:30though here at least we're being mentioned. Maybe the gamer gators might take note
- 1:07:32of this and their ears will perk up. Oh oh, well first and
- 1:07:38the Chasm are being mentioned. Yeah, I think that they're I think they're
- 1:07:42they're there. They are this time around. I think they are seeing some
- 1:07:45links. Like there's a guy who I had on my gamer Gate Badger pod
- 1:07:49gamer Gate last Wednesday, this this wins that it just passed, and his
- 1:07:55name is m q cell and he knows about us. He talks about you
- 1:07:59know, he's interesting in our topics. But he also like is you know,
- 1:08:04involved with on some level. He says that he's involved with Mark Kern's
- 1:08:10new project. Mark Kurn is grums on Twitter. He's like the big he
- 1:08:14is now like the one of the biggest voices on gam or gay too that
- 1:08:19I think matter like like somebody who knows the industry, and apparently Grums has
- 1:08:24been you know, he's more base than he lets on, is what in
- 1:08:28q Selton? Well, he doesn't want to get hit by the algorithm,
- 1:08:30right, No, No, I mean like but he's like, yeah,
- 1:08:33he's just kind of like he'd be cool, but he doesn't really have to
- 1:08:36like do this work, I guess. So I'm not saying that he does,
- 1:08:40but I think that I think that there is, Like, like I
- 1:08:43said, I think that there's more going on, and it's it's a different
- 1:08:47it's a different climate at this time, and I think people are waking up.
- 1:08:51So yeah, well we eventually are people going to realize that the weapon
- 1:08:56is always the same? Yeah? Well some some are willing to and some
- 1:09:00are not. And I think it's because they you know, they're there,
- 1:09:03They themselves will have to look in the mirror and ask like, was I
- 1:09:06a part of this problem? Right? Yeah? Well, when you when
- 1:09:10you're forced to do something at the point of a gun, you have to
- 1:09:13recognize you're a coward, particularly when it's essentially what's happening is the desperadoes walk
- 1:09:20into i don't know, the tavern, the saloon and the bartender hands them
- 1:09:27a gun and says, oh, wouldn't it be a shame if you use
- 1:09:30that, because we're all we're all handing them these people a gun. With
- 1:09:36that narrative, men oppress women and everything that comes out of it, you
- 1:09:42you you have no legitimacy when you construct your thing and you're enjoying your thing
- 1:09:46with your friends and you're all thinging around, and then the desperadoes walk through
- 1:09:51the door and they say, well, this is a really nice thing you
- 1:09:56got here. Mm hmm, I don't think it serves women, though,
- 1:10:00or if your thing is actually full of women, they'll walk in and they'll
- 1:10:04be like, this is a really nice thing you got here. I don't
- 1:10:09think it serves minorities. And then suddenly they appoint themselves as judge, jury,
- 1:10:15and executioner of your entire thing, like, and it's always the same
- 1:10:19thing, over and over and over again. Be nice if they wake up
- 1:10:24and realize it, the only way to stop this is to disarm them.
- 1:10:28And the only way to disarm them is to question the weapon that they use
- 1:10:33over and over and over again, to dismantle it, to take it away,
- 1:10:40to not give it to them in the first place. Because it is
- 1:10:43bullshit. This idea that men oppressed women is at its face bullshit if they
- 1:10:47honestly did. And I actually got into a discussion. I talk to people
- 1:10:54on Wick server. You remember Wick. We went on his show with them.
- 1:10:57Yeah, of course I remember Wick. I uploaded that that stream too.
- 1:11:00I recorded that and I uploaded up my channel. So if you guys
- 1:11:03want to check it out. Uh, they're very inc in conclud they're very
- 1:11:09inculcated with this this identifying threats and neutralizing them. So they have this this
- 1:11:16junkyard dog mentality that mended very very very much about perimeter defense. They were
- 1:11:26very steeped in perimeter defense logic. So identify the enemy, neutralize it.
- 1:11:30On that stream and oh, I forgot what I was going to say.
- 1:11:35Good lord, I get into these tangents. I have too much attention deficit
- 1:11:39disorder. I should probably take like drugs or something so I can pay attention
- 1:11:43long enough to complete a thought. But the I'm really sorry, guys,
- 1:11:48where was that before I got onto them? Sorry, you were talking about
- 1:11:53the gun and the okay, yes, yeah, the gun. You have
- 1:11:57to take away the gun and and oh right, I was in the discord
- 1:12:02talking to the audience of that show or wix show, or a member or
- 1:12:06some members of the audiences, and we were going back and forth about men
- 1:12:10oppressing women. So I said, okay, when did this start? And
- 1:12:15they couldn't give me a date. You know, we can tell when writing
- 1:12:16started, so we can tell when pottery is starting. Certain forms of technology
- 1:12:20and certain ways of people, like informational technologies and social arrangements. But for
- 1:12:30some reason, we can't identify when patriarchy started. And honestly, it even
- 1:12:35goes back to hominids, It goes to our closest relatives. People say that
- 1:12:42Bonabo's are not patriarchal, but it doesn't matter. We're closer to chimps and
- 1:12:46both of those split off of our common ancestor. So where did it start?
- 1:12:51Yeah, like where where and how did it start? No answer,
- 1:12:55So we just live in a world of dread, horrible sin that we have
- 1:13:00no idea how when it started or how it started, so we have no
- 1:13:04idea how to actually stop it. It's just this vague, wibbly wobbly Well,
- 1:13:10how likely is that to actually be true? Then? Like, think
- 1:13:15about it a question vague how likely is it to be true? If it's
- 1:13:19if it is something that actually started, it should be in the ar archaeological
- 1:13:24record, and it isn't. Because even hunter gatherers have a male chief,
- 1:13:29most often they have a separation between the sexes and there in their work and
- 1:13:34generally the males, and in fact, hunter gatherers societies can be a lot
- 1:13:39more violent and possessed with war because, to be fair, like hunter gatherers
- 1:13:45societies, they need more space for what they're doing. In order to support
- 1:13:51a client of hunter gatherers, you need far more territory, which means there's
- 1:13:59much more territory conflict. Okay, So and the men are the ones who
- 1:14:04are engaging in the territory conflict, right, So you know it's like this,
- 1:14:09this is something that seems to be pretty much most mammal species and our
- 1:14:14entire history. Okay, well, how do you plan to get away get
- 1:14:17rid of something like when they say patriarchal society, they're just basically saying society.
- 1:14:23Okay, well, how how if you don't know where it came from,
- 1:14:26you don't know how it came about. You are basically saying this is
- 1:14:29something that will exist forever unless you figure that out, all right, And
- 1:14:34I'm not buying into smashing something, you know, swinging a hammer around and
- 1:14:40not knowing where it's gonna hit. And it's just too vague to be meaningful
- 1:14:45anyway. It was just it was just something that occurred to me. It's
- 1:14:47all crazy, like, it's all nonsense. Men don't oppress women. And
- 1:14:54I keep saying that over and over again because people need to hear someone saying
- 1:14:57that men do not oppress women. There is no society that treats women is
- 1:15:04more expendable than men, and you have to include that in your equation of
- 1:15:10oppression. Because if men are in charge and the outcome is worse for other
- 1:15:14men, that does not mean men in charge equals women oppressed. In fact,
- 1:15:18it's the opposite. So every issue that men face under quote unquote male
- 1:15:24authority is a counter evidence, counter evidence to the assertion that men in authority
- 1:15:29equals women oppressed. It doesn't. And I'm not even a person not well,
- 1:15:35Alison, Oh, she dropped even a person we should go back to,
- 1:15:45like men is. I don't. I don't want to make prescriptions on
- 1:15:51how people live their lives. I'm just pointing out that this is not correct.
- 1:15:59It's just not correct. We can't have a society based on it.
- 1:16:01Mm hmm. I'm just saying, and then this is the weapon that they
- 1:16:06keep destroying everything with. I mean, I guess we can have a society
- 1:16:10based on it. After all, we've had it for seventy years. But
- 1:16:14yeah, best by date, shall we say? Okay? Yeah, all
- 1:16:20right, well let's wrap it up. I want to do a patron show,
- 1:16:23so sure, let me make sure there's no other super chats or super

- 1:18:08it, okay, Well, games journalist Ryan Easby is calling for violence against
- 1:18:14former World of Warcraft team lead Mark Kern. So Mark Kern is grums on

- 1:18:24making sense and he's not putting up with their shit. And so this is
- 1:18:28the thing, like, if you're going to speak out against these people,

- 1:18:53to actually deal with it instead of continuing to try to reason with the gun
- 1:18:57woman m hm. And that's scarier. That's honestly scarier. It's a lot
