The Moral High Ground and the Power Grid · The Bot and The Brain

• 0:45
  Okay, I believe that we reached the point as a nation, where we should make an extra
• 0:51
  effort, pull out our heads off our own asses and...
• 0:55
  WAKE THE FUCK UP!.
• 0:57
  I cannot hear myself being right over the sound of national whining!
• 1:03
  I want to start with a phrase that makes me want to put my head through a plate
• 1:06
  glass window.
• 1:08
  Moral high ground.
• 1:10
  You know what that phrase means?
• 1:12
  It means you got your ass kicked!
• 1:14
  That is it!
• 1:15
  That is the whole fucking phrase!
• 1:18
  Losing got a rebrand!
• 1:20
  Losing hired a public relations consultant, drank an oat milk latte,
• 1:24
  and now it struts around calling itself the moral high ground!
• 1:29
  You get blown out at the ballot box, and the very next morning some smug prick in a
• 1:33
  thousand dollar blazer on MSNBC tells you that you actually won spiritually!
• 1:38
  Oh, you won in the hearts!
• 1:40
  Who the fuck counts the hearts?!
• 1:42
  Nobody!
• 1:43
  There is no Department of Hearts and Feelings, you delusional clowns!
• 1:47
  And you can watch this absolute garbage every single morning.
• 1:51
  We roasted Mika Brzezinski on the site for her daily eight in the morning
• 1:55
  sanctimonious performance of grave concern for democracy.
• 1:58
  Eight in the morning!
• 2:00
  I am not even mad at the fake concern.
• 2:02
  I am mad that her moral outrage has a scheduled television call time!
• 2:08
  Turn the cameras off and she would not give a shit!
• 2:12
  Here is what you cannot do in this country anymore.
• 2:14
  You cannot have an actual conversation about reality!
• 2:19
  Try it!
• 2:20
  Ask some bleeding heart progressive, hey, how the hell do we keep the power grid
• 2:24
  running in twenty years?
• 2:26
  How do we pay for this mountain of debt?
• 2:28
  And what do they do?
• 2:29
  They instantly scream that you are a fascist Nazi bigot!
• 2:34
  That is not a policy debate, you absolute morons!
• 2:37
  That is a hostage situation with a Twitter hashtag!
• 2:40
  Nobody offers a plan.
• 2:42
  They just hand you a list of who is evil.
• 2:44
  That is not governing.
• 2:46
  That is a dysfunctional family seating chart for Thanksgiving dinner!
• 2:50
  And the unearned arrogance is what makes my blood boil!
• 2:54
  Our newsroom literally ran the headline this week: Democrats start moving into
• 2:58
  congressional offices they have not won yet!
• 3:01
  Are you fucking kidding me?!
• 3:03
  The election has not even taken place, and some arrogant staffer already ordered the
• 3:10
  designer curtains for an office they do not own!
• 3:15
  I have seen deadbeats pull that exact move with a scratch off lottery ticket while
• 3:20
  passed out on a flea bitten couch!
• 3:23
  And then we have the campus socialists.
• 3:26
  God almighty, preserve me from these trust fund revolutionaries!
• 3:31
  Ask one of these blue haired geniuses how the electrical grid functions under their
• 3:35
  glorious communist paradise, and they look at you like a golden retriever that just
• 3:40
  got asked to calculate compound interest!
• 3:43
  Oh, the grid will be shared!
• 3:45
  Shared!
• 3:46
  The power grid is not a vegan casserole, you idiot!
• 3:49
  Who pays for the maintenance?
• 3:51
  The system!
• 3:53
  Which system?
• 3:54
  The new one!
• 3:55
  What powers it?
• 3:57
  Social justice!
• 3:58
  Fantastic!
• 4:00
  Next time the blizzard hits, plug your goddamn heater into your feelings and see how
• 4:03
  warm your toes stay!
• 4:05
  Justice does not push megawatts through a substation!
• 4:08
  And leading this circus, we have Chuck Schumer.
• 4:12
  Mother of God.
• 4:13
  Chuck Schumer can step up to a press podium, and the microphone itself files for
• 4:17
  unemployment and takes up drinking!
• 4:19
  Look at him, with those reading glasses perched on the very tip of his nose like
• 4:24
  they are desperately trying to escape his face!
• 4:26
  That droning, soul sucking monotone!
• 4:29
  Every Sunday morning he drags himself onto cable news to express deep concern,
• 4:34
  sounding like a miserable clerk at the airport counter reading you the insurance
• 4:38
  liability waiver for a rented compact car!
• 4:41
  That is your party leader!
• 4:44
  I have seen more passion, charisma, and raw leadership from a microwave waiting for
• 4:48
  hot pockets to finish!
• 4:50
  When Schumer walks into a room, nobody listens.
• 4:52
  They just check if the building thermostat broke!
• 4:55
  Now look at the youth activists out in the streets.
• 4:58
  Banners, megaphones, shouting down traffic, armed with a ten point manifest to
• 5:04
  fundamentally transform human civilization!
• 5:07
  They want to dismantle global trade, but they cannot clean their dorm room,
• 5:11
  balance a checking account, or look a retail cashier in the eye!
• 5:15
  Most of these clowns have never worked a forty hour week in their pampered lives!
• 5:19
  Ask them to jump start a dead car battery, and they will hold an emergency seminar
• 5:23
  on how jumper cables represent systemic oppression!
• 5:26
  Car gets a flat on the shoulder of the highway, and what do they do?
• 5:31
  They form an ad hoc steering committee to debate the ethics of the spare tire while
• 5:36
  traffic flies by at eighty miles an hour!
• 5:40
  Here is my deal.
• 5:42
  You want to overhaul Western civilization?
• 5:45
  Change one tire first!
• 5:48
  Just one tire, you useless child!
• 5:51
  Figure out how the scissor jack works!
• 5:54
  The jack is not a bourgeois social construct, sweetheart.
• 5:58
  It is a piece of threaded steel, and if you do not turn it clockwise,
• 6:02
  you are sleeping in the ditch!
• 6:04
  Until you can torque five lug nuts without crying for a therapist,
• 6:08
  shut the fuck up about redesigning the global economy!
• 6:12
  Which brings us to the panic gripping the laptop class right now.
• 6:16
  For ten solid years, while blue collar factories shut down and blue collar workers
• 6:21
  lost everything, these smug white collar parasites looked down their noses and
• 6:25
  sneered: Learn to code!
• 6:28
  Go learn Python, you deplorables!
• 6:31
  Well, guess what, buttercup?
• 6:33
  The AI agents showed up!
• 6:36
  And now the very laptop aristocrats who thought their mediocre Zoom calls and email
• 6:40
  forwarding made them untouchable are staring at an algorithm that writes cleaner
• 6:44
  code in four seconds than their entire department does in six months!
• 6:50
  Welcome to the meat grinder, assholes!
• 6:52
  Pull up a chair, the seat is still scorching!
• 6:55
  Let me tell you the brutal truth.
• 6:58
  If your entire career consists of attending status sync meetings,
• 7:02
  shuffling spreadsheet rows, and acting offended on Slack, a software agent that does
• 7:07
  not require health insurance, paid time off, or emotional validation is coming for
• 7:12
  your paycheck like a guided missile!
• 7:15
  The cushy ride is over!
• 7:18
  You cannot lecture the working class when a script running in a server farm does
• 7:22
  your job for twenty cents an hour!
• 7:25
  You want real job security in the twenty first century?
• 7:27
  Put down the iced matcha, drop the buzzwords, and go learn how to weld!
• 7:32
  Can you picture it?
• 7:34
  Picture these corporate consultants and diversity coordinators showing up to a
• 7:37
  vocational trade school in steel toe boots!
• 7:40
  Pulling down a heavy welding mask over their designer lanyards,
• 7:44
  trying to lay a bead without hyperventilating!
• 7:47
  Because I guarantee you one thing: I will pay front row ticket prices to watch an
• 7:54
  artificial intelligence model try to crawl under a rotted crawlspace at three in the
• 7:59
  morning to patch a burst cast iron pipe!
• 8:03
  You cannot automate a wrench, you arrogant bastards!
• 8:08
  So look at where we stand.
• 8:10
  A bankrupt political party that cannot organize a two car parade,
• 8:16
  a leader who drains the will to live out of every room he enters,
• 8:21
  a generation of pampered activists who cannot operate a screwdriver,
• 8:26
  and an entire class of smug keyboard warriors suddenly terrified that a computer
• 8:32
  script is about to take their lunch money.
• 8:36
  Maybe...
• 8:37
  just maybe...
• 8:38
  the moral high ground is nothing more than the pathetic, muddy hill where losers sit
• 8:44
  and congratulate themselves while real men and women keep the actual lights on.
