- Malcolm: I'm I'm sick of seeing these strikes and things going on. And I understand lot of people believe that the only way for there to be peace is to erase the others from existence. ⁓ Unfortunately that and I mean that's that's not even propaganda. That's that's literally what people are saying. Like that like it involved like people making the decisions they are trying to erase a a population from existence because that's the only way that there's gonna be peace in the world in their mind. And I feel like that's just not granted it's bigger than me, it's bigger than anything I could ever do, but it's like what are we doing. If you really are, if you believe that you're really there to to save the world, you're there to protect the world, whether you're the US who is involved in all this foreign policy because you want to keep world peace and protect the world, or whether you're ⁓ another nation or or or whatever the the case is, you're protecting your people, you're protecting global interests, there there has to be a point where it's like enough is enough. I I I think the problem is people don't just want to put the guns down, put the bombs down, and like talk it out. Like obviously talking out, I know it's not that simple. It's bigger than me, right? But it's like everyone's suffering. There's impacts happening around the world. I talk to people in other countries. They hate coming to America. They don't want to come here. And you can say, ⁓ well, they shouldn't come here. Well, how do you think stuff gets done here? Everything here is imported. Everything here is outside labor. If America was cut off from the rest of the world today, you would be dead by next week because you wouldn't have anything. The world is too connected. I think people need to get out of this mindset of, ⁓ we just just do us. We're all one people. You might believe different things, eat different things, but it's I'd say I'll just just say I I feel for everybody, ⁓ impacted on all sides, and there there needs to be accountability and I think people should start holding their governments and leaders accountable worldwide because it seems like on a ground level, ⁓ Most people are suffering. There are some delusional people out there though that that say everyone else deserves to die. I think that's ridiculous. You as a human, if you you believe in anything, you should never say entire people deserve to die. That's that's insane. Like Trump talking about wiped them off the face of the earth. That's insane. Yeah, I don't know why people are so comfortable just saying like or just even implying that like it's okay to genocide? Yeah, like like yeah, like genocide is not like a I guess become normalized, bro. Just like like, yeah, we'll wipe them off the face of the earth. Like Bro, you are a president telling like, come on, bro. That's a serious threat. I mean, look, that's that's heavily relates to the next topic. ⁓ you know, ⁓ how far you go with people threatening you, how how far is it gonna go before you do something about it? Yeah, ⁓ and and that's the point.
