Latest / Honey Badger Radio / Feminism is just like men's rights! Debating with FabianLiberty | Fireside Chat 244
Transcript
- 0:00All right, and we are live. Hello everybody, welcome to Honey Badger
- 0:03Radio. My name is Brian and I am This is the Fireside Chat and
- 0:07I'm joined today by a very special guest. Well, I only know you're
- 0:11like online sort of persona, which is Fabian Liberty. So that's how I
- 0:17you know, put your name on the screen there and you can check out
- 0:19all of his links. I put them in the description of this video.
- 0:24Fabian, thanks for coming on. Yeah, no, I appreciate it.
- 0:28I you know, I had some people reach out and I mean it wasn't
- 0:31super familiar with kind of like the the Honey Badger you know group, if
- 0:36you will, But like people are like, hey, no, no,
- 0:38no, like if you want to talk about libertarianism and talk about men's issues,
- 0:45like these are some of the people to like you should absolutely have a
- 0:47chat with. And I was like, okay, well, you know,
- 0:49yeah, I'll reach out o DM, and you know, I feel like
- 0:51it'd be a fun conversation. So I'm all here for yeah, yeah,
- 0:55no, that's good. Uh you know, real quick, audience knows I'm
- 1:00an anarcho capitalist. I am the end boss of libertarianism, if you will.
- 1:03I'm I'm as libertarian as libertarian gets and that's mostly what my content revolves
- 1:10around, debating and discussing libertarian philosophy or debating you know, lefties in the
- 1:14online space. That's mostly what I do right right, And uh, that's
- 1:19fine. Like I I, you know, have an cap leanings myself.
- 1:23Frankly, I think that men's issues, like, you know, maybe we
- 1:30should like define our terms before we start talking about this, because I think
- 1:34that, uh, we get like as a in a kind of collective blanket
- 1:40way, we get lumped in with all kinds of you know, other I
- 1:45don't know people that maybe they have like louder voices, but they don't really
- 1:49share the same uh principles. And so I guess, like what was the
- 1:56comment? Just to refresh everybody and for people who don't know, what was
- 1:59the comment to sort of spurred this conversation. Do you remember you on Twitter?
- 2:05Way to remember? Okay, you made a comment on Twitter about men's
- 2:09rights activists being just like feminists and yeah, and somebody that is a fan
- 2:19of ours, I think or like they're support support you should Yeah, sick
- 2:23Fox, that's right, and U Sick Fox made a he replied to you
- 2:29I think it was him. If not, forgive me if you if it's
- 2:31not, if you are the person, but you're not that person, just
- 2:35clear it up in the comments and I apologize, but basically said, hey,
- 2:38you should talk to these people because you know, we're not like I
- 2:42don't know, it just doesn't fit in with our modus operandi as it were.
- 2:46Yeah, so let me let me let me say so, so to
- 2:51clear the ground. Right as you were saying, like, what what do
- 2:53I think men's issues are? Right? I think there is you know,
- 2:58deleterious effect towards things that that that you know, the consequences of how society
- 3:05changes, you know, tend to affect you know, one gender one way
- 3:07and another gender the other way because they're different, right, So I would
- 3:10I would be very very vague about what I mean by men's issues. I
- 3:14I you know, I mean, obviously we can get specific in discussions about
- 3:17like you know, child's boored or you know, you know, marriage and
- 3:22family, or about you know, men being able to be open about certain
- 3:25issues, or you know, you know, whatever those things may be.
- 3:30But ultimately I think that's what those are men's issues, right, And the
- 3:34way that I see the manosphere. The people talking about it is kind of
- 3:39all over the place, right. I think you have some men's rights activists
- 3:44that are very whiny, unmanly if you will, and you can get mad
- 3:49at me if you want about that, right, like you know, very
- 3:52much bringing the bitch energy in complaining about being an in cell and things of
- 3:55that nature. You know, it's it's it's doomor pilled, et cetera.
- 3:59And then you have have like you know, red pill people, some of
- 4:01which I think are trying to do well, well meaning, but are often
- 4:06completely ignorant of like how science is conducted or what the studies they're referencing even
- 4:11mean. Then you have grifters like Andrew Tate and people like that that are
- 4:16just saying the wildest things, like you know, Andrew Tate recently said,
- 4:20you know, just went on a whole rant about how you need thirty children
- 4:24and the white race is doomed because you know, we're not cheating on women
- 4:27and we're not like fucking everyone. You know, we don't have multiple mistreaches
- 4:30that we have sex with no condoms and this is why blacks are superior.
- 4:33It's like just just completely he says, Well, I think that not to
- 4:40KT for Andrew Tate, because I can get into like why I think his
- 4:44voice is his voice or people voices like his are more predominant than like,
- 4:48say, ours. I think that there's an advantage that the you know,
- 4:53the sort of delegated establishment. Yeah, it's like on purpose, I think.
- 4:57But what I would say is I think that he would. I think
- 5:03what he was, what what he's trying to do is be provocative so that
- 5:06people talk about him fine engagement. Yeah that yeah, and it works.
- 5:12It does because he's saying the thing that you know, feminists and the media
- 5:16and politicians and academics and intellectuals. It's the stuff that they love to like
- 5:21make what the manisphere is about, or make what you know, this this
- 5:26part of the Internet is about. Well, at the same time, saying
- 5:28what they're saying the quiet part out loud too, right, because they try
- 5:31to be subtle about it. Well, who's they? What do you what
- 5:34do you mean by that? Yeah? I don't mean the Jews just real
- 5:39quick, no, no, no, I mean like I'm me when you
- 5:41say saying the who's saying the quiet part out loud? That's what I know.
- 5:45I honestly don't Andrew Tate is saying the quiet part out loud that I
- 5:48think a lot of frustrated manisphere people or other people are saying that, are
- 5:54you know, into the more polygamy aspect, like like that the the the
- 5:58small group that he's highlighting, you know, like, I think a lot
- 6:01of them are probably not. It's not so much that he's saying the quiet
- 6:05part out loud in the sense that they're not saying it, but that it's
- 6:10like it's it's out there now, right that there is a very very small
- 6:13contingent that has an opinion like that. Yeah, I mean, I don't
- 6:17know, I don't know. There are definitely frustrated, frustrated men out there,
- 6:24and I don't think that them being frustrated makes them part of the manisphere.
- 6:28I think that you can be a frustrated male feminist and you know,
- 6:32end up like murdering your roommate because she wanted to be in a polycule.
- 6:36And I am of the opinion that men should have like the equipment to be
- 6:42able to sort of like understand and navigate the world as it is while we
- 6:47try to essentially like make the let's say, the system more fair and just
- 6:56to be clear on where I stand on that. I think that the comparison
- 7:00to feminists is only fair insofar as perhaps there are some men that are in
- 7:06those spaces that do a lot of complaining and winging and I and I get
- 7:11it, that's true. That's but I can't control that. But our goals,
- 7:15at least as you know here at HBr and the people who work here,
- 7:18we don't all like have the same, uh necessarily the same political beliefs.
- 7:24I think some people still, like you know, desperately grab on to
- 7:28like some degree of leftism, and I reject it completely, but we all
- 7:32are on the same page in terms of what we want. And ultimately what
- 7:36that is is the difference between men's rights activists and feminist is the real important
- 7:43difference is that feminists are statists and every solution. There is no such thing
- 7:47as a libertarian feminist. There have been women like Hannah Cox who can,
- 7:51like, look at her content online, she claims to be a part of
- 7:56Reason, these Reason magazine or something like that. No they're not, but
- 8:01I'm saying that she Yeah, but she brands agree with you that way,
- 8:05right, Yeah, And she is obviously by nature of her being a feminist
- 8:09she must be a statist. And what we want is not to use the
- 8:13state to benefit men, because it can't benefit men. We want the state
- 8:20to get out of men's way, to basically get out of men's lives.
- 8:22But the problem where the struggle is at is that you know, women generally
- 8:28are gravitating towards They tend to gravitate towards the state, with only some exceptions.
- 8:33This is like an old problem, right, women value security over liberty
- 8:39and men value liberty over security. You probably have seen this yourself, if
- 8:43you are indeed the final boss of libertarianism, you have seen that it's not
- 8:46popular with women in general. Right, Yeah, I mean so there are
- 8:52there are incentives that are going to be stronger towards females than males. Right,
- 8:58I mean. So one of the big, one of the big problems
- 9:01that I think we have, and this is especially true in the manisphere because
- 9:05this is really my goal in talking about men's issues at all, is I
- 9:09have three basic goals, three things that I think we need. Right.
- 9:11Number one, we need libertarianism as a political philosophy because we need the non
- 9:16aggression principle because we're actually going to solve these problems. We can't use the
- 9:18state. That's only going to be band aids that are going to cause more
- 9:22problems. Number two, I think we need a return to conservative values,
- 9:28not necessarily conservative relationships values, but values that are not dissigenic. We as
- 9:35a society can't be openly super pro only fans and super openly pro prostitution and
- 9:43degeneracy and hedonism everywhere if we expect to have some normalcy return in relationships as
- 9:50a whole in society. And number three, and this is what I think
- 9:54is I think makes the manosphere and men's issues particularly interesting is that I think
- 10:01that the manosphere and what we're seeing in these issues is actually a symptom of
- 10:05what occurs when trust in institutions is completely eroded, and when the science is
- 10:13supposed to inform us and the science has abandoned us. I think the men's
- 10:20issues in gender like I think that this woke kind of leftist feminist nonsense is
- 10:26actually not as strong people think it's strongest in sociology or in legal or in
- 10:31education. It's actually strongest in sex research, gender based research. That is
- 10:37the strongest place that this is. And so what we are left with is
- 10:39a dearth of scientific research and understanding, and so what you have, I
- 10:45think is a bunch of manosphere people trying to understand science that they're not necessarily
- 10:50trained in or that they haven't like spent their whole life in, and trying
- 10:54to make sense out of what little there is to understand gender and sex and
- 11:00relationship differences, especially as society goes the way of South Korea, where women
- 11:05keep getting more and more feminist and men are starting to become more and more
- 11:11traditional, and there's a lot of bad roadblocks ahead, especially with this lack
- 11:18of science and lack of the non aggression principle being stated so deeply, and
- 11:24then of course those conservativevalues. That's my opinion. Yeah, I mean,
- 11:26like that's all stuff that we have said ourselves. The problem is is that
- 11:31the incentives for women are so overwhelming, like this is the thing what we
- 11:35see it. Okay, until women actually step up to the plate and take
- 11:43a long, hard look at themselves and decide that they're going to essentially resist
- 11:50the temptations for immediate earthly joy whatever you want to call it, right these
- 11:56incentives, then things are only going to get worse. So, yes,
- 12:01you're right that a lot of this sex, this feminist stuff begins in a
- 12:05kind of sexual or like a sex education, but it bleeds out into every
- 12:11single aspect of our society. It is in everything, and so are you
- 12:16and women systems theory. I mean, I've I've I've heard, I've talked
- 12:22to some people about it before. But what what do you want to say
- 12:24about this? Well, no, it's just you know the kind of push
- 12:28pull, right, the push pull institutions versus the individuals in society, right,
- 12:33right, It's like the chicken and egg kind of comes to mind when
- 12:37we when you discuss systems theory, because you're you're positing that women as a
- 12:41whole need to kind of give up the carrot, right and and just stop
- 12:48chasing the carrot, that that the institutions are forcing upon them, and and
- 12:52in in a way that will change the institutions. And yet the kind of
- 12:56the reverse is is often true too, right, which is, if you
- 12:58got rid of the carrot, you know, so it was just an interest
- 13:01that could be that. Yes, that could also be true, but there
- 13:03is a problem with that. Is why I'm not saying that women have to
- 13:07be the only ones. I'm saying they have to be a part of the
- 13:09solution, right for sure. So and right now, like literally there is
- 13:16like women have replaced men in their life with the state and they have been
- 13:20convinced you can say, through propaganda or what or education. I think it's
- 13:24a number of factors. Plus we are also kind of three generations in like
- 13:30after the Great Society and all of these other socialist policies that have essentially paid
- 13:35women to exclude fathers from the home. So we're like we're in the middle
- 13:39of the story now, like you can't you can't put the genie back in
- 13:43the bottle without essentially asking people men and women. But I think in particular
- 13:48women, because I think men are generally ready to do whatever it takes to
- 13:52like, you know, to accomplish their goals. I think most people come
- 13:56into the world and they and this is just a simple thing that doesn't have
- 14:00to be political at all, and it shouldn't be. They want to meet
- 14:03someone of the opposite sex, they want to marry them, and they want
- 14:05to have kids with them, and that's like the best like outcome you can
- 14:09have for a society. But women are not incentivized to do that, and
- 14:13men are starting to respond, you know, some of them retreat into like
- 14:18online you know communities like the like the red Pill or the manspair because they
- 14:24want to understand what's happening. Some of them go and become in cells and
- 14:26and they kind of like go down this zoom or spiral. Right, Yeah,
- 14:31Sigma bads, I go to the gym, I work out, and
- 14:33I don't give a fuck about bitches. That's true. But but in the
- 14:37long run, this is the problem that we're facing without I don't want to
- 14:41go too much of under tangent here, but there is a problem with this
- 14:43is that if people in the West like don't start forming families, like our
- 14:48our birth replates, our replacement rates are low, and the borders are open,
- 14:52and people who will make babies will come in this country and they will
- 14:56like essentially like out popular the people who are here, and like that libertarian
- 15:03dream is not going to happen, like we will be living under a caliphate,
- 15:05like what's happening in in you know, the UK right now, right,
- 15:09So this is the thing, like the the problem, the problem of
- 15:16men and women coming together and forming families is the baseline for every other problem.
- 15:22It comes first. It's where it's where life begins, right, there's
- 15:26a there's another danger here, right, And I know this is a dangerous
- 15:30topic because this book is very dangerous because of a specific chapter about race and
- 15:33IQ. But setting aside, I don't have a problem with that at all.
- 15:37Right, But nevertheless, you know, I don't know you were,
- 15:41and I'm just I'm just saying that that's not really what I'm trying to talk
- 15:43about anyways, Right, Sure is the Bell curve. The main main point
- 15:46of the Bell curve, The actual thesis of the book, if you could,
- 15:50you know, nail it down to one. Thesis is about i Q
- 15:54drain in popular in demographics, right is right? The brain Well, not
- 16:00just from other countries, but but because we used to live in you know,
- 16:03small towns where people very rarely left a small town. No highly intelligent
- 16:08well you know, well to do men would marry, you know, potentially
- 16:12maybe the smart girl in town. But there wasn't this like this. Actually,
- 16:17this is I want to back up just for a second before I get
- 16:19in sure. One of the biggest problems that I have, and that is
- 16:23really difficult with talking about these issues, especially when talking about sociology, is
- 16:27that human beings don't have heuristics for two things. And this is really really
- 16:34important as our society becomes technological more interconnected, as more data gets thrown into
- 16:41things, and so what those two things are are. We don't have accurate
- 16:48heuristics for deviation, standard deviation and standard distribution, right. We don't really
- 16:56understand like logarithmic scale, Like we don't really understand for example, when someone
- 17:02uses the term mid, right, that they're kind of referring to someone between
- 17:04you know, a three seven, Right. But what we think when we
- 17:10think average, we think ten twenty thirty forty percent of the population when a
- 17:14standard distribution is really sixty six point seven percent, right, We don't we
- 17:18don't really think that way because we're supposed to live in communities of like two
- 17:22hundred, right, And and we don't really understand exponentials. We don't really
- 17:26get that, and so I think it becomes difficult for us to deal with
- 17:30things like online dating, for example, where thousands of people are are put
- 17:34into your your kind of your local situation, and all of a sudden,
- 17:37the effects of distributions become so much more drastic. And this is something that
- 17:44is true too of what you're speaking about of not having children and and pair
- 17:48bonding and IQ is that we're very because of this inability to understand the problem
- 17:55with a with a simple heuristic, and because of the immigration, and because
- 18:00of the kind of the lack of breeding, because we're no longer as much
- 18:03of a high trust society. Men cannot trust a woman to marry them and
- 18:07not fuck them and not end up in divorce court. We're losing trust in
- 18:11our society, and that means where a birth rate is declining because of that
- 18:15trust. What you have is a really scary situation where the low IQ immigrants,
- 18:21and I'm not saying all immigrants are low IQ, legal immigrants actually tend
- 18:23to be slightly smarter because of brand drain. When you're talking about seven point
- 18:26two million people coming across the border in one presidency, and most of these
- 18:30people being the poor, the destitute, the unsuccessful, you're talking more criminal
- 18:36or criminal and so what you're dealing with is a situation where you're going to
- 18:41have a very very very small breeding amount in the high IQ, incredibly high
- 18:47IQ people that are moving away from a mass of low IQ breeding and the
- 18:52very class issues that our society kind of tried to help saw by the creation
- 19:00of a middle class and capitalism and markets and liberal democracy is going to disappear
- 19:07because you're going to have you're going to have demographics of high IQ low population
- 19:12and demographics of low IQ high population. And it's it's going to cause more
- 19:17problems than than most of us I think are willing to admit because oh,
- 19:22absolutely absolutely. Yeah, Well that's a distraction, right, we can't have
- 19:26an honest conversation about like what will be the incentives? How does and I
- 19:30mean we don't. I don't know that. It's like a bit of a
- 19:34distraction to get on the topic of demographic change and the border. But yeah,
- 19:40I mean, like I think that like there is a good there is
- 19:44a it's definitely a factor. There's actually a good question to ask because women
- 19:48overwhelmingly voted for this, and I think that Scott Adams he made a tweet
- 19:53about this a while back where he said that women were voting they voted for
- 19:59more men to come in because they wanted to open up like their odds of
- 20:04breeding with an appropriate man by just letting all the men in. I know,
- 20:07I don't know if I believe that. I don't know if I believe
- 20:10that, but but like we are talking in some way, we are talking
- 20:14a bit about hypergamy, which is totally real. So when when for most
- 20:18of human history marriages were arranged, and it wasn't because of some like you
- 20:25know, patriarchal control from the top down or anything. It was mostly about,
- 20:30you know, like you just married people that were in your vicinity.
- 20:33So if you lived in a village, the woman the girl in the village,
- 20:37would you know, date you or well, like you would meet your
- 20:40parents, or your parents already knew each other, and you were just kind
- 20:42of set up and nobody really thought of it like as a restriction outside of
- 20:48anything except for vicinity, you know. And then as technology technology advanced and
- 20:52we industrialized, if we started going into cities, then it changed that a
- 20:56little bit more. And I'm not even talking about like you know, the
- 21:00aristocracy, which mostly married for like political reasons. And now that we live
- 21:04in the modern world, no, no, that's that's another I'm saying,
- 21:08that's a different thing. But now that we live in the modern world,
- 21:11dating has become like globalized, right essentially, or all most globalized because we
- 21:17all have the world at our fingertips and we can meet people from anywhere.
- 21:19But what ends up happening is is that you do end up with things going
- 21:25like women are constantly thinking about like, you know, are they is this
- 21:30the right choice? Do I am? I? You know, getting the
- 21:33best deal with the best bang for the book, the for my buck or
- 21:36whatever, and they end up you know, swiping Like what is it when
- 21:41you reject somebody? I don't do online dating? I'm married? Does it
- 21:44swipe right on everybody that you don't like? And so, you know,
- 21:47you get like these extremely skewed statistics and women's preferences are basically through the roof
- 21:52because they have this idea, like this sort of overinflated sense of self and
- 21:57most men are going to talk about yeah, I want to talk about that
- 22:00and a couple other things because I think, I think this is a prime
- 22:04example this This is a bit of a myth, and this is a prime
- 22:07example of what has happened because science and researchers have abandoned this issue completely in
- 22:14favor of junk pseudo scientific bullshit that the feminists put for There is this myth
- 22:18based off of like tender and OkCupid studies, et cetera. Right that kind
- 22:25of exaggerates the female experience of like whom they choose and whom they don't choose.
- 22:30Right, So there are a couple of confounding variables when we look at
- 22:33it. Number one is that some women are swiping left a bunch out of
- 22:38a habit and because they have no desire to because they're looking for backups,
- 22:44or because they're even though they're in a relationship so they're cheating, or because
- 22:49they are because they need some type of validation. They want to see what's
- 22:55out there so they're questioning, or simply because they're testing the waters even though
- 23:00they don't have a desire to actually date. And these are things that while
- 23:04yes, men do do these things, they do them to the much less
- 23:07degree. So this kind of skews the data right, like the datas are
- 23:12really controlling for these things. And then another thing about this data is,
- 23:18you know, it's a you know, is that it always focuses on who's
- 23:21doing online dating, right, so that already is selecting a specific type of
- 23:25female versus other types of And there's like there's a bunch of other confounding variables.
- 23:29Another one being that men get desperate and so they swipe often people that
- 23:33they won't actually date. Then they'll be rude or disgusting towards those people because
- 23:38they're frustrated. And then women kind of cloister themselves and become even more protective
- 23:45of themselves, so they become even more like you have to be perfect,
- 23:48right, And it's less about women preferences in the dating market and more about
- 23:52the kind of the fucked upness around the way our brains don't really work well
- 23:59with online dating. Yeah sure, I mean I'm not really like doing the
- 24:03PUA thing. I'm just using this as an example of how the landscape has
- 24:10changed and what what what incentives women respond to in terms of like partners and
- 24:18also family and all this, like women are waiting longer to have children,
- 24:22women are like there was a do you know Tom Woods? I assume Tom
- 24:27Woods podcasts, Like so, yeah, he had a man on that has
- 24:32a website called natalism dot org and we and they did a whole show together
- 24:36and we covered it on our channel that talked about the declining birth rates and
- 24:40that the thing that I was taking anti natalism in my head, and I
- 24:42was like, no, no, no, it was called natalism because there
- 24:45yeah, yeah, it was pro natalist, but in there. What this
- 24:49is the thing that was the shocking bit of data because obviously I don't I'm
- 24:52not in the business of matchmaking, you know, like in terms of that,
- 24:56whatever you guys do, whatever you think is best. I think there's
- 25:00probably like better ways to find a partner than I definitely know it's better than
- 25:03online dating. I think you should just look in your community. But but
- 25:08what what I think is worth bringing up this is going back to the birth
- 25:11rates issue, is that the data that this guest on Tom Wood Show brought
- 25:17up and I'm sorry I don't remember his name, but the website's called natalism
- 25:18dot org show Native Americans and immigrants are like the only people that are even
- 25:23replacing themselves. Yeah, somewhat right, And and I think like in West
- 25:27Africa if you look at the Golden yeah, in the US. Right,
- 25:33So the the what what is discovered is this though, of the women that
- 25:40ended up not having children, only ten percent did not end up having children
- 25:45for either medical reasons like they you know, they're infertile, there was some
- 25:48problem, or they had some kind of like actual desire not to have kids,
- 25:55like they actually stuck to their guns and said I don't want kids.
- 25:57There are some women like that, just like they're are some men like that.
- 26:00And I wouldn't be the one to say that you have to have kids.
- 26:03But eighty percent or eighty five percent, maybe even higher than that,
- 26:07of women that did not end up having kids, it was not because they
- 26:11didn't want kids. It was because they a waited too long and then the
- 26:15window of fertility passed. It just didn't happen. They didn't find a man
- 26:19that was like, maybe there were some good men that they passed on because
- 26:23they were hoping for something better and it just did not happen for them.
- 26:26And it's it's actually very tragic when you look at how massive that is,
- 26:33because I think that there is like a very big push in our culture,
- 26:38in our in our social culture, to ask women to not see family as
- 26:44important, to not want kids, et cetera. And they're trying to do
- 26:47this with men as well. But the truth is most people, most people
- 26:49across the board, do want families and children. So what the effect is
- 26:55and there's a lot of factors we can get into as to why that's happening.
- 26:57I think that there is a push to reduce the population, and I
- 27:03think it's coming top down, and I think there's plenty of evidence to show
- 27:07that, Like there's you know, these climate alarmists and these you know,
- 27:12it's just kind of like a general anti natalist push and it's all in you
- 27:17know, I think it is having some effects and we're seeing this now,
- 27:21so that's kind of like what But but again, here's the thing I just
- 27:26want to say. As a men's issues advocate, I don't like to say
- 27:32rights because I think that's I don't like the word the word rights gets thrown
- 27:36around. I don't think it up plenty of right, Yeah, people call
- 27:40a humans. Yeah, But the the reason why we call ourselves men's rights
- 27:45activist is because it was used against us as a pejorative by feminists and we
- 27:48just kind of said, okay, then whatever. But like there are some
- 27:52things like I'm I'm against circumcision, for example. I think that's a violation
- 27:56of bodily autonomy and that is a right. But mostly I just say issues
- 28:00because a lot of this stuff does come from the state. It's things like
- 28:04the family courts and all of these you know, child custody laws and the
- 28:08welfare state and other things that I do think affect men in a lot of
- 28:15different ways. So that's you have a bunch here. Yeah, you have
- 28:18a bunch to talk about here. So you know, maybe setting aside the
- 28:22arranged marriage thing, I have a slight disagreement with you, but but I'm
- 28:26curious, you know, just sort of like a little bit back. I'm
- 28:30not promoting arranged marriages. I'm saying that's not enough history. That's what it
- 28:33was. Yeah, will you had you said this thing that there was like
- 28:36kind of like a feminist myth about this was done for patriarchal reasons, And
- 28:40I think I actually kind of disagree with you a little bit in the sense
- 28:42that I kind of agree with the feminists to a certain degree here that it
- 28:47was done for patriarchal reasons a little bits as the man and male of the
- 28:51head of the household, Because when you're giving over your fourteen fifteen, sixteen
- 28:55year old daughter to a twenty four to twenty five year old man, you
- 29:00are, in a sense transferring ownership of your daughter. Now, they wouldn't
- 29:06have been an ownership in slavery in the way that we would have, but
- 29:07it would be an understanding that your daughter is not a fully kind of a
- 29:12fully autonomous individual. That goes and goes out forthrightly on their own to get
- 29:19their own property, to build their own farm. Right Like, there is
- 29:22an expectation that she does need protection and that she does need a man,
- 29:26and that she does need someone that is willing to do the things for her
- 29:30in order for them to create a family, and there is a certain passing
- 29:33off of one. And I think that's kind of part of what people are
- 29:38missing in is kind of fucking up our understanding of sexual autonomy around age,
- 29:44because we're starting to see feminists now that are like, oh, you like
- 29:48women under twenty five. Did you know their prefunnal cortex isn't developed? And
- 29:52tell you know, somewhere between the ages of twenty four and twenty six,
- 29:55you like that twenty two year old girl, You're a fucking pervert. And
- 29:57I think there's actually kind of some truth to that as well, which is
- 30:00that, no, you're not a fucking pervert because you like a twenty two
- 30:04year old girl. But there is an understanding that, yeah, there is
- 30:07a certain level of autonomy that one gains over time and with the development of
- 30:12their brain, and that we did used to have a system might not be
- 30:17the best system but a system that counteracted this, which was you don't get
- 30:21to marry my daughter unless you prove yourself to the family that you're going to
- 30:25protect her, that you do love her, that you're going to work hard
- 30:26for her, and that you have the means of doing all of those things.
- 30:30Because I'm gifting my daughter to you. This is my most precious thing.
- 30:33Please protect her. Sure, well, what's okay? So what's the
- 30:37expectation on women in that scenario childbirth usually childbirth? And what's the expectation on
- 30:44sure, what's the expectation on men in that scenario? Protection? You know,
- 30:51finances? Would you say that those yeah, yeah, would you say
- 30:56that those things without getting into like you know, like how much or whatever,
- 31:00but would you say those things are relatively like, I don't know,
- 31:03balanced, Like does it mean I think it makes sense because men can't have
- 31:07babies and women are vulnerable while carrying children. I'm not saying that this is
- 31:12like, you know, I would say, I don't think. I don't
- 31:15think. I don't think it's skews in favor of women as much as people
- 31:19think. I'm not. No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying
- 31:22that, but I think that I think that it is what it is.
- 31:26That's kind of like I'm not trying to, like, you know, say
- 31:29that this is better than this. I'm just saying this is just what it
- 31:32is. Like you know, I'm trying. I was just trying to answer
- 31:33your question, be real. Just no, it's okay. I just wanted
- 31:37to I'm just making sure that we know that like my position on it is
- 31:41to it is the nature of us as humans. It's just the way it's
- 31:47going to work out. And I think that the way that we've arranged marriage
- 31:51and family for most of our history, probably for the most part, is
- 31:56a decent model. And I think that this this thing that we're going through
- 32:00now post sexual revolution, I think that that's all very recent stuff. I
- 32:05mean, yeah, what boys and girls probably got married pretty early on so
- 32:10they can like you know, start families and and all that. And it's
- 32:15fine. Again, as my job here and like doing this channel is not
- 32:22about like telling people how they should live their life or arrange their families,
- 32:24but rather we are like it's to acknowledge that we do have a problem.
- 32:30We have a problem with the courts. I don't know if you saw that
- 32:35baseball player I'm forgetting his name. He was like a famous pitcher and a
- 32:40woman like did a false allegation, claimed that she beat that he beat her
- 32:45so that she can get a payday. And it was recently found out he
- 32:49had this whole fight. He lost his job. He had to like plays
- 32:52playing for a Mexican team now because he had to leave the country because everyone
- 32:57thinks he's a piece of garbage, right, And that's just funny. It's
- 33:00just funny that like he's playing was accused wife beater, plays for Mexico and
- 33:06they love him, saying he is machismo well to the max. No,
- 33:09no, no, even over there there are journalists saying, like, you
- 33:13know, hey, what about those things about you beating up that? But
- 33:16he's he's essentially like proved his innocence. He had all the receipts, kept
- 33:21everything, and the guy is like super rich. Right. But the thing
- 33:24is is that what we talk about is, Okay, this guy lucked out.
- 33:28But a lot of men go through stuff like this. They lose their
- 33:30kids if you look at you know, and it's always got involves the state,
- 33:34Like there's literal incentives from the government for women to distance their children from
- 33:39their fathers, and this is like one of the it's I mean, like,
- 33:44I'm from Chicago now. I live in Virginia now, but I was
- 33:47born and raised in Chicago. What two Oh you are? Oh, I'm
- 33:52in Roanoke. What part you want? Bye? I'm in Colonial Heights,
- 33:57Petersburg. Oh, okay, So that's cool. It makes sense a lot
- 34:01of libertarians out here. But I was born and raised in Chicago, and
- 34:07I saw how bad the crime is and I couldn't couldn't help. But notice
- 34:14that the number one statistic. And they want us all talking about race.
- 34:17They want us all talking about these other things because they're basically trying to push
- 34:22for socialist policies, not as a fix but just to like get something out
- 34:25of it. But the real issue is we're looking at destroyed families because fathers
- 34:30have been pushed out of the home because mothers, single moms were incentivized to
- 34:36essentially exclude men from the home. And this is impacting the black population by
- 34:40leagues ahead of everybody else. But all the other groups are catching up.
- 34:45And I'm like, well, this is the most basic men's issue, is
- 34:51father's rights? Now? Are there deadbeats? Of course I'm not saying that
- 34:53there aren't. But the thing is is that there are no there are no
- 35:01things in place to essentially cause women to make, you know, like educated
- 35:07decisions about who they choose to reproduce with. We have all these things in
- 35:14place, we have protection, we got abortion, we got all this stuff,
- 35:16and yet we still have this problem. And I think it's just like
- 35:21it's you know, yeah, engage with that, right, like, because
- 35:24we're talking about we're talking about crime now, and crime is its associated fatherhood
- 35:29and the incentive structures there. So not right, No, No, No,
- 35:32I didn't say it wasn't I was saying I was just descriptively laying the
- 35:36like what we're talking about. Yeah, so I would say that it's that
- 35:39is, without a doubt, a very a very big part of the equation.
- 35:44Right. Obviously we never want to do a univeraried analysis, but but
- 35:46I do understand what you mean that that is a huge part of it.
- 35:50Some of that goes away when you control for like poverty, right because obviously
- 35:54single mother is going to be poorer than a family, you know, under
- 35:59most circumstances, et cetera. But but yes, for the most like and
- 36:02we have unlike with most correlational kind of research. We do have the mechanisms
- 36:08for what we're talking about here, right, which is like rough and tumble
- 36:10play super important, especially in the couple of years early development. And also
- 36:17the problem is worse than the data purports. And the reason the problem is
- 36:22worse than the data purports is because the data doesn't very often we don't discuss
- 36:28school age children and the followlessness rates of children at a certain age, because
- 36:34what ends up happening is when you look at the followlessness rate as a whole,
- 36:37you're looking at men that are still in the lives of let's say a
- 36:39one year old or a two year old, and it's like that is important
- 36:45for development. As I said, rough and tumble play is important, right,
- 36:46But when we're talking about let's say, what's the followlessness rate of children
- 36:51in the inner city in a black community that's lower socioeconomic status for middle school
- 36:57and above all of a sudden, that percentage is actually ten fifteen percent higher
- 37:02than the general overall percentage. Right, So there are a lot of issues
- 37:07there for sure, and the incentive structure on those is is really problematic.
- 37:12I would also say that there are you know, Chicago's kind of a special
- 37:15case with like extra problems. Right. Oh yeah, sure, corrupt government
- 37:22and all that, But I'm saying the biggest one. The biggest one is
- 37:24that crime isn't necessarily correlated to poverty so much as it's correlated to relative poverty.
- 37:30Right, So when you're poor and you see someone next to you that
- 37:34has a lot of money, that tends to like influence crime. Whereas,
- 37:38like you know, poverty in the country, where everybody's poor together, they
- 37:43kind of have an honor system, there's a lot less crime. And so
- 37:45Chicago's special because they took all of the projects and to fix the problem,
- 37:52they spread them out throughout the entire city and it caused a massive spike in
- 37:55the crime and they still haven't recovered from it because they did the worst thing
- 38:00you could possibly do, which is spread poor people next to middle class and
- 38:05wealthy people because it just infuriates them. But yeah, no, I definitely
- 38:08see your point there. Well, I think like you made a point about
- 38:14evidence of what I'm saying about the science. We lack science to really understand
- 38:17these problems because there's no researchers that are really doing that. There's like a
- 38:22couple of men's rights people right that are writing books, But there should be
- 38:27like just as much as there's government money going to like trans the fucking Palestinian
- 38:34kids, or fucking government money to you know, just study the effects of
- 38:37a frog population in geothermal you know, you know, power plants to make
- 38:44sure that the temperature doesn't rise too much. Yet there's like no studies beyond
- 38:49feminist crap on families, on the effects of men on you know, all
- 38:53of these things. There's no good research out there. Well that's probably not
- 38:58an accident. I mean like yeah, I mean, like let's let's be
- 39:02real. We're talking about uh, you know, universities and uh, intellectuals
- 39:09there there's there is no interest to address the problem. Like most of the
- 39:14time when I get into an argument with feminists or just like normy types,
- 39:19which I think most most people on earth have some feminist leanings. They have
- 39:24some they believe some of the myths of this history, and so it it
- 39:30informs their opinions on other things. Uh, they will generally not care about
- 39:35that data. And I agree with you, there should be more of it.
- 39:37And yes, there are m ras and uh MRA adjacent folks writing about
- 39:40this stuff, but that just that just supports what I'm saying when I say
- 39:44that, you know, when when you go on Twitter and the loudest voices
- 39:49that have any like I don't know that are even even in the same ballpark
- 39:53as like what we talk about are guys like Andrew Tait and fresh and fit,
- 39:58And I can promise you that that's not an accident either, Like if
- 40:01you promote the craziest people that have the wildest opinions, that are saying the
- 40:06most like you know, easily, let's say, the most wild stuff that
- 40:10people can characterize as representative of everything that we've been doing for ten years,
- 40:15which has been looking at the data, looking at the studies, looking at
- 40:20where this comes from. Yeah, that is no surprise that some people are
- 40:22going to have negative opinions on all of us because they see what he's saying.
- 40:27But he gets paid because the algorithm favors that kind of content and it
- 40:31doesn't favor ours engagement, right, It always favors negative engagement because negative engagement
- 40:37keeps people glued in, because most algorithms are designed for advertisers. And it's
- 40:40very dumb. And I think we're probably going to see this go away soon.
- 40:45And the reason I say, I think we're going to see this go
- 40:45way soon. Is because I've been tracking corporate research, and corporate research is
- 40:50now pretty they're pretty well aware that the value of engagement is actually not that
- 40:55great because of the way that negative engagement next to an advertising campaign can actually
- 41:02cause people to have negative opinions about your brand as opposed to positive bitiness.
- 41:07Because most corporate you know, online branding is about touches, right, It's
- 41:13like I need my product to be seen six or seven times then people will
- 41:15think about my product. But if people associate your product with a negative video
- 41:20that they watched, even subconsciously, it can be really really bad, especially
- 41:23for brands like that are really innocuous, like toothpaste and things like that,
- 41:28right where people don't have any political feelings about Colgate. But setting all that
- 41:32aside, what I wanted to say is like, this is really what I
- 41:37want to hone in on, is is the science being so bad has caused
- 41:43this problem that I'm seeing where when I when I look kind of because I'm
- 41:46not a Manosphere person per se, I mean, I have some opinions I
- 41:50do online streaming, but that's not like my brand. If my brand is
- 41:52libertarianism and I have a mostly male audience, which you know, I will
- 41:58say that I don't think those two things are that far apart. Now.
- 42:00I mean, like, if you're seriously trying to address like the problems between
- 42:05men and women in society, yeah, yeah, you're yeah, you're gonna
- 42:07You're gonna head this way. The only problem is, I will say,
- 42:09and I'll let you finish, is that I think that a lot of the
- 42:13world is not ready for libertarian perspective. I think that too many people are
- 42:20status and it's gonna like take it's gonna take a lot. But I'm I'm
- 42:23I'm in generally in supportive. This means Fabian liberty because I because you know,
- 42:29the Fabian socialists that pushed the concept of socialism one policy at a time.
- 42:35I realized it's like, I think incrementalism is probably gonna be needed.
- 42:38I don't want it, you know, I'd love for it to happen instantly.
- 42:40But anyways, about the science, and this is kind of thing is
- 42:45that like what I see happen is is I see people really actually trying to
- 42:50understand the issues with big audiences and big voices, trying to understand things.
- 42:54But because they lack. I don't I don't want to insulting to all of
- 43:00the big manisphere people here, but hopefully you know they don't take it too
- 43:05personally. But they lack a foundation of understanding how research is done, what
- 43:09statistics actually mean, or how to implement them, and understand the difference between
- 43:14correlation and causation, which is like you know, elementary school shit, but
- 43:17like also like understanding mechanisms and understanding overlap, right, and so like for
- 43:24a couple I wanted to bring a couple examples because these are like really popular
- 43:28things. I think we can all like go yep, and then we can
- 43:30all go yeah, those are normal people talk about all the time. And
- 43:34then so body count being one, right, body count is something I see
- 43:37red pill people talk about often all the time, and they have no idea
- 43:42what the fuck they're talking about. They they talk about body count, and
- 43:45they talk about the science like they've read the science, right, And they'll
- 43:49talk about pair bonding. And this is a prime example of correlation and causation,
- 43:54because a woman's body count is a really good heuristic, right, Like
- 43:59if a woman tells you she had sex with one hundred people, it's a
- 44:01really good red flag that like, you're probably not gonna have a successful relationship
- 44:05with that person. And if she says she's had sex with under ten people
- 44:08and she's honest, right, that's a fairly decent curist. But people don't
- 44:14understand the mechanism that's occurring here. And so, like you can find this
- 44:17research on there's a Christian organization Families Foundation, I can't remember. You can
- 44:23look at their research where they tracked how many sexual partners, and what they
- 44:28found was like, obviously the number one best successful relationship was virgin, right,
- 44:34but then surprisingly one and two previous sexual partners tended to be worse more
- 44:40likely to divorce than three, four, five, six, seven, eight
- 44:44nine. And that's because they had something to compare it to. But they
- 44:46hadn't really tested themselves out there, right, So now they're kind of questioning
- 44:51the validity of the of the relationship that they're in, et cetera. And
- 44:54so I have yet to see this study, So this is just a hypothesis.
- 44:58But sure, there's there's no link between this concept of pair bonding with
- 45:05how many sexual partners you have. Instead, there's a correlation there. And
- 45:09so when I look at the research, I go, oh, well,
- 45:12what it appears to me and it seems kind of obvious honestly, is that
- 45:16what you're seeing is there's two types of girls, broadly speaking, a girl
- 45:22that will have one night stands and fuck random people, and then there's the
- 45:25type of girl who won't fuck random people, won't have one night stands,
- 45:30but will have sex with someone that they're in a serious, committed relationship with.
- 45:35And so often we'll look at BodyCount as like a number that like destroys
- 45:37the woman's psyche, and then we'll have red pillars talking about you need a
- 45:42virgin or you need as close to a virgin as possible, And then like
- 45:45you have women that have had sex with six or seven dudes who were all
- 45:49their boyfriends for longer than two or three months, and it's like that woman
- 45:53doesn't have an issue pair bonding, right like that that body count doesn't fucking
- 45:58matter there. Like what matters is like whether or not she treats sex as
- 46:01like something with someone that she loves in a committed relationship. And that's just
- 46:07like one example. Yeah, I mean again, I don't have a problem
- 46:12with that. I think that in general, like you know, it's not
- 46:16as simple as like what's your body count? But if it's really high,
- 46:21I think that is a red flag. I think that a man can still
- 46:23try try to save her, try to fix her if he wants. I
- 46:27don't think it's a good idea personally. But again, I'm not in the
- 46:30business of necessarily giving relationship advice. I've I've I've found my unicorn. I'm
- 46:37done, you know what I mean. Like, I'm not saying the relationship
- 46:39I know. I know I'm saying, don't be yes, don't be a
- 46:45don't be a simp. But and that's something that I do think. I
- 46:47think that Like, ultimately, again I can't I'm not going to answer for
- 46:53like what these Manisphere guys that are are the loudest voices say. I think
- 47:00that, you know, And again it is just another obstacle for us to
- 47:01overcome. I have I rolled with people like Warren Ferrell and Paul Elam and
- 47:07people who have written books some of the subjects. Yeah, I've read some
- 47:10of Warren Farrell's stuff. Yeah yeah, And these guys are not really good.
- 47:15He did really good work on Rough and Tumble play as I was mentioning
- 47:17earlier, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you know he's Yeah,
- 47:21he's cool. I mean I don't agree with him politically, but I
- 47:24think that he's made you know, it's done work that you know, I
- 47:29can only have tremendous respect for. But again, this comes back to what
- 47:32the issue is is for us is you know, we we can't we're having
- 47:38trouble reaching people because our content, which is it's not necessarily positive. I
- 47:45mean, it's just like kind of like pointing out like this is how severe
- 47:47things are, and we will you know, rebut rebut like various you know,
- 47:53sort of like articles or studies will look at them, and a lot
- 47:57of it is crap because it comes out of academia, and academia is in
- 48:00bed with the state as well, and so these are things that just won't
- 48:02This is the problem, right, we won't get good studies because good studies
- 48:07cost money and it's very hard to build that foundation. It's just kind of
- 48:13like you know, wanting to lobby for men's issues on the political stage.
- 48:17That's that's it's it's a it's a it's a pipe dream, like nobody cares
- 48:22about men enough to like actually affect policy until you know, you get into
- 48:25a crisis situation, which we may be approaching. I think genetically speaking,
- 48:31that's a good thing. I do think I in a weird way. I
- 48:35do think it is absolutely good that men care more about women than they care
- 48:39about men's issues. I think that should be the case because women are like
- 48:45low you know, Doom comes to any society that doesn't venerate the female,
- 48:52especially the pregnant female. Simping is an important part of human society. The
- 48:59problem is kind of a similar situation with like immigration. Right, you can
- 49:05either have immigration or you can have welfare, but you can't have both.
- 49:07You can either have a patriarchal society that protects women and simps for them and
- 49:13believes them even when they're kind of bullshitting, but you can't give them fucking
- 49:16the ability to vote, and you can't give them the power. You can't
- 49:20give them political power and have that. You can either have one or the
- 49:23other. You can't have both. If you're gonna have a militarian society where
- 49:28women are given every opportunity, every everything that a man has in those regards,
- 49:35then at the same time, you can't be patriarchal. You can't sen
- 49:37Well, this is yeah, this is the this is the big conundrum.
- 49:43We're in right now is essentially well, let's just look at it as it
- 49:49is now. Okay, So decades of feminist or you could say, uh
- 49:57ginocentric policymaking from before the suffrage movement till today has essentially created a situation where
- 50:05men's obligations have not changed a women's liberties have right, So men are in
- 50:14the same position they were before World War One. And if we get to
- 50:19the point and like you know, they are starting to look that way,
- 50:22right, yeah, we will be conscripted and expected to die for a country
- 50:25that doesn't actually respect us. And this is going to be a problem because
- 50:29you can see, like the rejection of going to war is a good one.
- 50:32Don't get me wrong again, I'd rather we didn't have to do that.
- 50:36But the reason behind it being that they're like, why would I die
- 50:39for a country that hates me for what I am? Right? Because that's
- 50:44how bad it is today. But here's where the real issue is. You
- 50:49were just talking about this. In order for you to be able to protect
- 50:54something effectively, you must have authority over it. So and the the issue
- 51:01is is that men are expected to essentially be responsible for women, but they
- 51:07have no authority over women. So so just a quick example, very quick
- 51:12example, Carolyn An Harlows, who is a libertarian, big, big libertarian,
- 51:16right. I deeply respect her as as an LP individual. You know,
- 51:22she works in Colorado, they do amazing work, and she's one of
- 51:25the few people that protected mesu's caucus when there's horrible things going on within the
- 51:30LP, right, Like, she is a respected you know, former treasure
- 51:34She's very very respecting in the LP. But she she has this one weird
- 51:37feminist weakness where she keeps coming up and saying, you know, oh,
- 51:43you know, I was on the subway and there was this you know,
- 51:45homeless man accosting this woman and none of where were the men, none of
- 51:49the men. And it's like, and I don't want to tell her because
- 51:52I know she's not really part of the problem in voting for the things that
- 51:57did this, because she's a hardcore libertarian. But there's every part of me
- 52:00wants to shake her and yeah, but dude, not going to jail to
- 52:04protect you, like fuck off. Right, She's still a woman though.
- 52:07This is the thing that another thing that we got are like come to grips
- 52:10with like a lot of what we are experiencing does not simply boil down to
- 52:15like, you know, data and incentives, and there's nature going on.
- 52:19Women have a nature, and the most libertarian woman and the people who work
- 52:23here at Honey Badger Radio are some of the most hardcore libertarian like and cap
- 52:28women that I've ever known. But they are still women at the end of
- 52:30the day. There's a there is a nature that comes out that they have
- 52:35to fight against. My wife does it too all the time, and I
- 52:37mean she's probably more right wing than me on a lot of stuff. So
- 52:42I mean, I don't know, not by much. But if you're the
- 52:45mother of if you're the mother of my children and we're in a relationship,
- 52:47I extend that to what I extend to you, the same thing I would
- 52:52extend to my children, which is an extension of my legacy myself. There's
- 52:57an extension. Yeah, But like some random chick on the subway, I'm
- 53:00not gonna go to of course, I thought a homeless guy and then he
- 53:05ended up drying and then I go to prison like that. Fucking Yeah,
- 53:08Daniel Penny, Yeah for sure. Yeah. It's like you guys wanted this.
- 53:14You wanted a society where where the police and the state have ultimate authority.
- 53:20But but us as men can no longer live in even the slightest bit
- 53:23of well, that's not even the not even the comments have it like that's
- 53:27that what's going on in New York is as a definite byproduct of you know,
- 53:30a bunch of bat Yeah, so, and and again I think it
- 53:36is there is a Unfortunately, despite all of the laws and policy, et
- 53:42cetera, it boils down to there is a nature in men and in nature
- 53:45in women. It's it's being expressed. And I think that the reason I've
- 53:49said this too, and I don't know what your thoughts on this are.
- 53:52I think that in general there are two wings of politics because there are two
- 53:58sexes, and that that's how they are expressed. One of them is more
- 54:01status and I think that women tend towards that because there's more security in that,
- 54:06there's more at least that's the idea. And the other is more like,
- 54:10you know, liberty oriented, and I think that men want that,
- 54:14and I think that that's the reason why men vote more, you know,
- 54:17towards liberty and small government, and women tend to vote towards more big government.
- 54:23And except for except for This is actually an interesting thing. Women who
- 54:29are married and have children are more likely to vote in line with their husbands
- 54:34because they suddenly know, like where the taxation is affecting them, whereas a
- 54:40single woman or a single mother doesn't care because she's getting money from the state
- 54:44no matter what. Yeah, exactly, and they're involved. Right. So
- 54:49Robert Bella has a really good book. Robert bell Is obviously he's dead Harvard
- 54:53Press, and unfortunately he didn't get to finish the second But there's a book
- 54:58called Theory, and it's evolution in religion from the Axial to the Paleo or
- 55:05from the Paleolithic to the Axial age, and in it he discusses the psychology
- 55:10of from the very beginning of trying to understand where religions come from, right,
- 55:15where do the concept of spirituality and the evolution of religion, which is
- 55:19especially important to understanding our current religions. Uh, you know, understanding mono
- 55:23evolutionary monotheism and the Semitic religions, et cetera. But there is a you
- 55:29know, in the beginning he talks about, you know, trying to isolate
- 55:32what it is that makes the human species unique compared to other human species to
- 55:38other primate species other than just IQ and opposable thumbs, because something had to
- 55:46come before IQ and ipposable thumbs. Like why you know, like like all
- 55:51these other primates have opposable thumbs, but they don't have our IQ. They
- 55:53don't have what we have? What what? What was the spark? And
- 55:57as far as he's concerned, and you bunch researchers, primate researchers, psychologist,
- 56:01cetera, that there is, there is these things that are present within
- 56:06mammals, but only humans have all of them. And it's these kind of
- 56:08these four things. One is maternal instincts. The other is paternal instincts.
- 56:15Right, so many, many, many mammals will have maternal instincts, and
- 56:22some of them, even like Bonobo's, will have paternal instincts, but in
- 56:25most mammals, you don't have that, right, so you don't have a
- 56:28you don't have a desire for the man to care for a child and the
- 56:30woman to care for a child as a team collective together. And then the
- 56:35other two things are disposition to dominate others and then a disposition to resent domination.
- 56:43These are kind of the four unique evolutionary building blocks as far as he's
- 56:46concerned as to why we became humans, developed religion, developed society, developed
- 56:52culture, et cetera. And I think there's some truth to that in this
- 56:55concept that there is a there's a poll in there's a poll between these two
- 57:00seemingly paradoxical values, which is, I want to dominate the other and I
- 57:06want things to be in my favor, but I hate the idea of being
- 57:08dominated. And I think that's probably a better explanation for the two political systems
- 57:16of overly overly enlarged government for security and safety and then liberty. I think
- 57:23that those things are actually fundamental, not necessarily a male female. Now do
- 57:27I think that female tendencies and again this is that issue with humans lacking a
- 57:31heuristic see the distribution, Yea, I do think, yeah, I do
- 57:37think that women tend more, very heavily to favor this disposition to dominate,
- 57:45and I do think men tend to favor this resentment of being dominated, this
- 57:52disposition to resent the idea that I lack liberty. But I think I think
- 57:57it's a core fundamental thing, and it does. It does kind of vend
- 58:00diagram a little bit with maternal instincts and like, you know, because the
- 58:02family life is communist, right, it's everyone gets a fair share, everyone
- 58:07gets opportunities, everyone gets you know, it's it's the mother's One of the
- 58:10mother's most sacred duties in a family is to ensure that nobody is treated unfairly
- 58:17and that everybody gets a fair shake, everybody gets the same opportunity, everybody's
- 58:22voice is heard. Right, that the husband isn't too authoritarian with one child,
- 58:25right, That is, that is what it means to really manage a
- 58:29home. It's more than just having the kids and raising the kids. It
- 58:32also means controlling the man's behavior in the household. That's also part of a
- 58:37woman's duty. I think, yeah, sure, when you give them political
- 58:39power, that's when it becomes the problem. But that's it. But that's
- 58:44actually very useful for people, not political power, right, because they can
- 58:49use That's what I'm saying, Like we have talked about how on the show,
- 58:52essentially politicians have turned women into a voting block by essentially that's why,
- 59:00Like when you look at it, and it doesn't matter if they're Republicans,
- 59:04Democrats, whatever, even libertarians, they will appeal to women as that they
- 59:08make that a priority. Because they don't think that it works if you appeal
- 59:12to men, and in fact, if you try to make an appeal to
- 59:15men, women will become like resentful of that because they want to be the
- 59:20ones par it is it It's really just comes down to this, which is
- 59:24that there's one demographic that basically decides the outcome of every single election where it
- 59:30is a toss up. Right, So if you're in a purple if you're
- 59:32in a purple district, right, that is white suburban women. That's it.
- 59:37Yep, suburban women. Why because women that live in the cities and
- 59:43in the country are already decided. Men are mostly already decided. The one
- 59:47demographic of people that can change from Democrat to Republican Democrat or Republican Democratic Republican
- 59:53in any election is going to be suburban women, particularly white women, white
- 59:59suburban women. If you can get the middle class women right right, right,
- 1:00:02Well, it's well, it's the suburbs as a district where you know,
- 1:00:05you're not necessarily right wing or left wing, neither are your friends,
- 1:00:07right, and so yeah, if you can, if you can get middle
- 1:00:10class white Karens to vote for you, you win the election. And you
- 1:00:15see this with let's say Loudon County and Virginia. Where where we where The
- 1:00:20Republican won, you know, one over in Virginia, despite Bloomberg spending hundreds
- 1:00:25of millions of dollars again to try and swing the state blue. How did
- 1:00:30all of that money fail? And the Republican won. Moms for liberty and
- 1:00:34pissed off moms about what's going on in schools and critical race theory and queer
- 1:00:38theory in schools was enough to activate suburban white women to go, what the
- 1:00:43fuck are in these schools? That's crazy? An he won. That's how
- 1:00:45you win an election. It's will always be how you win election in America
- 1:00:49until there is significant demographic shift where the you know that that block is no
- 1:00:53longer as valuable, which probably will happen soon. But nevertheless, I mean,
- 1:00:57I mean, now, the way that you win elections might be,
- 1:01:00you know, bringing in a bunch of immigrants and then accidentally having them on
- 1:01:02voter ID rolls. But you know, well, you know I didn't say
- 1:01:06that YouTube. Somebody in your chat. I'm looking at your chat. Somebody
- 1:01:09said the name of the pit the baseball player, Trevor Bauer. It's going
- 1:01:13to give a shout out to Trevor Bauer hopefully you know like that girl.
- 1:01:21Yeah, yeah, for actually like well, shout out for recording everything,
- 1:01:24which is, you know, something that I guess most men wouldn't think they
- 1:01:28should be doing, but apparently they should be, especially if they're wealthy,
- 1:01:31and you know, because they're gonna draw kind of like snakes towards them.
- 1:01:38Also, I used to be a teacher. Somebody mentioned that the same thing
- 1:01:42about not having authority but expecting to be responsible also applies to children. I'm
- 1:01:49not sure about the home. I think that there you could work that out,
- 1:01:52you know, individually, But I know that in schools. I have
- 1:01:57done some teaching, and male teachers are so unusual these days. It's almost
- 1:02:01all it's like eighty five percent women, maybe higher. In the United States.
- 1:02:05Work environment for a male it is feminine male again, this is you're
- 1:02:10feminine. You know, it's different. But if you're a masculine male,
- 1:02:14it's toxic place for you to be. It's probably not You could probably get
- 1:02:15it. I could probably get a job. I was a drag queen,
- 1:02:17let's be real. So if I decided, you know, setting aside of
- 1:02:22your ability to get the job. I just mean, like, it's not
- 1:02:25it's not a welcoming place for a man to work. But anybody that's ever
- 1:02:30worked in a female dominated profession knows that you're walking on eggshells when you're when
- 1:02:37you're in that work environment. And like, they'll tell jokes about their their
- 1:02:39boyfriends and their husbands, and they'll tell jokes about penises and about sex and
- 1:02:44about all these things. And you know, as a man, don't you
- 1:02:46fucking get involved in this conversation whatsoever, Because the moment you say something in
- 1:02:52there that offends anyone in that group, your your life's over. You're gonna
- 1:02:55your life is gonna be ruined by a sexual harassment charge despite the fact that
- 1:03:00they're saying wild shit, because there is a there's a there's a bias there,
- 1:03:04And I don't necessarily think that that's a bad bias. Again, I
- 1:03:07don't think it's necessarily bad that we let women get away with telling dick jokes.
- 1:03:12And we're a little bit more careful about dudes saying sexual things to women
- 1:03:16when there are no other dudes around, right, Like, I think that's
- 1:03:20probably a good instinct. The problem is when they have power, it's right,
- 1:03:24like, you can't have the power and the protection. You can't have
- 1:03:28both. It's kind of like Spider Man, right, like with great power
- 1:03:30comes great responsibility, Like there is a responsibility if you have that power,
- 1:03:34but if you get rid of if you get rid of my power, I
- 1:03:37don't fucking keep the responsibility. It's insane. Yeah, I mean I I
- 1:03:42personally because I think this is all a problem that comes out of human resources
- 1:03:45departments and the over let's say, our tendency to be overly litigious about everything.
- 1:03:54I frankly think that women and men should be able to joke about whatever
- 1:03:59they want. I think that there is such a thing as, let's say,
- 1:04:01courtesy to like you know, know that you don't just say whatever around
- 1:04:05whoever. But I don't care if guys want to tell dick jokes. I
- 1:04:10really like, you know, like what because but I need to say it's
- 1:04:14very quick, like like I don't want. I think it is a good
- 1:04:17instinct that we think it's something's wrong with like a Don Draper Madmen work environment
- 1:04:24where you walk in to like go tell your boss about something real quick and
- 1:04:28he slaps you on the ass and calls you sugar dets right, like you
- 1:04:30don't want that environment for women, and so the way that you stop that
- 1:04:34environment is that you have to be you have to stop it before it starts,
- 1:04:38which means you have to be overly protective of the females in that environment.
- 1:04:42The difference is when the females run the HR departments and it's all the
- 1:04:46women that are the mediators in judiciaryas part of this process. You can't have
- 1:04:53patriarchal protection run by women because what you have now is a pseudo patriarchy that
- 1:05:00is actually a matriarchy masquerading as a patriarchy, that gives us all of the
- 1:05:05bad shit, all of the responsibility, and none of the ability to actually
- 1:05:10discriminate or be honest or engage in reality. There is I think that comes
- 1:05:17with other problems. I mean, I don't think men want to work in
- 1:05:21an environment like that. So you're because if they have to be on eggshells,
- 1:05:26and we just talked about that, it's not worth it, and HR
- 1:05:29departments and sexual harassment and stuff like that. That's what I mean. Yeah,
- 1:05:32reason WHYLLS is because women run it and there's that protective inside exactly exactly,
- 1:05:39so then we are we are essentially getting the results from what you know,
- 1:05:45what was perhaps started in earnest. But then that like brings in another
- 1:05:48question. Another thing that I advocate a lot for is that what men need.
- 1:05:55So we have this problem where a boy comes into this world and he
- 1:06:00probably gets circumcised, and then he is probably raised by a single mom,
- 1:06:04which means he is probably more likely to be exposed to abuse, which and
- 1:06:09then he goes into a school and all of his teachers are women, almost
- 1:06:12all of them. There are no men in his vicinity except for maybe the
- 1:06:15security guards if it's in a rough area, you know. And he goes
- 1:06:19to university and all this time he's getting a feminist education because public not just
- 1:06:24public education, all education is feminists, like all of it with charter schools,
- 1:06:29Catholic schools, private schools, it's military schools, all of it are
- 1:06:32military is feminists. I mean. So he is surrounded by this ideology,
- 1:06:38he's bombarded with it everywhere, and then he turns out to be kind of
- 1:06:42a mess. I mean, we can't really blame him, so we gotta
- 1:06:45what I what I what I say is that something there has to be something
- 1:06:50that we can bring to men, young men in particular boys as a kind
- 1:06:57of release valve, and that for me, this is what I advocate for,
- 1:07:01is that boys have their own spaces, and every time boys make a
- 1:07:04space, feminists invade the space because they don't want men coming together. And
- 1:07:10I have a I have an idea as to why that is, but I
- 1:07:14can get into but I can give you some examples. For example, there
- 1:07:16used to be men only clubs. There used to be boys club, the
- 1:07:20Boy Scouts. Women can join the Boy Scouts. Now you know all of
- 1:07:26these sort of you know male I was. I was part of a boys
- 1:07:29club as a kid, and it was good. You go on trips,
- 1:07:30you do, you learn skills, you know you you you have Bowling Alone.
- 1:07:36No, no, must read book. It's it's little dated. It's
- 1:07:41more of a history book now than an accurate book. But there's a lot
- 1:07:44of reasons those men's clubs failed, and it's not just feminists invading the spaces.
- 1:07:49That definitely did happen. There's there's a bowling. Bowling Alone by Robert
- 1:07:55Putnam is a seminal piece of work of sociology and understanding where this really started.
- 1:08:00And it's not really it's not feminists that started it. It's the isolation
- 1:08:05of men from those communities because of World War two and because of the GI
- 1:08:11Bill and the creation of the suburbs, and all of a sudden we started
- 1:08:15shopping, working and living in three different areas instead of living together as a
- 1:08:20community. And there's a kind of an anomey thing where man is separated from
- 1:08:25the community and separated from his labor because he's, you know, part of
- 1:08:29a machine, a cog. It's it's it's it's worth reading. You should
- 1:08:33absolutely read it. It's it's great. I mean, that's interesting. But
- 1:08:35again, men can form, like men are trying to form communities now,
- 1:08:40and those still get invaded and broken off, finist whatever, ye can't them
- 1:08:49anymore. But that men never said women couldn't join. It wasn't like a
- 1:08:54man only thing. It's just they let some women in, and some of
- 1:08:57them were enthusiastic, like you know, there are girl gamers and girl nerds
- 1:09:00that are legitimate. But then it becomes a bigger space because the men invest
- 1:09:04time and energy into it, and then it gets broken up because they're like,
- 1:09:09well, we're in here and we don't like any of this stuff.
- 1:09:11And I think there's another reason for it though. I think that the one
- 1:09:15thing that it seems like because we're not just talking about like activist groups and
- 1:09:20like you know meddling women that get involved. We're talking about government organizations.
- 1:09:25We're talking about the Department of Homeland Security, We're talking about the FBI.
- 1:09:29They go into forums, they go into you know, these male spaces,
- 1:09:32and they observe and they and they nudge and they like meddle with that.
- 1:09:36And I think the reason ultimately is and I think this should go in line
- 1:09:42because I believe this and I and I also have libertarian leanings myself, like
- 1:09:45pretty strong ones. The biggest threat to the government are into like independent men
- 1:09:55with families, like because those men who think for themselves, they are more
- 1:10:00like, they're more likely to want to have their own guns, they're more
- 1:10:02likely to be bro I do, I think. And and if they're married
- 1:10:06and they have kids, Firstly, they're invested in the future because they have
- 1:10:10children. Secondly, their wife is going to be on their side and they're
- 1:10:13gonna work together. I think that is like a man who is adamized and
- 1:10:18has no prospects right and has no future and is told that he's a piece
- 1:10:23of ship is dangerous for himself, but also for the people around him,
- 1:10:28because that's where you get like these kind of you know, suicidal, violent,
- 1:10:32self destructive, god bigger. I think those would be a bigger threat
- 1:10:36to the government than adomized family because I know, no, no, they'd
- 1:10:41be a threat to regular people, not the government, like to other families,
- 1:10:45they'd be a threat to both. I think I think that the there's
- 1:10:47a there's a there's a double side. There's a flip side to that coin.
- 1:10:51Right, I do agree with you that adomized conservative men are more likely
- 1:10:58to become activists, to engage, you know, in a peaceful resistance kind
- 1:11:02of way, and get together a larger mass of people and be able to
- 1:11:06change opinions and hearts and minds, et cetera. But there's a there's a
- 1:11:11there's a there's a double side. It's a double sided kind of situation.
- 1:11:15And the flip side would be that, like they have weaknesses, right,
- 1:11:18they have their family, they have their children, the desire for security.
- 1:11:23A man that has no family might be nihilistic. He might say, fuck
- 1:11:28it, take away my security, take away something put pressure on me,
- 1:11:31doesn't fucking matter. But if I've got a wife and kids, all of
- 1:11:34a sudden, I might shut my fucking mouth if they're if there's something some
- 1:11:39type of threat towards them, you know what I mean, I can,
- 1:11:41I can, I can use those things against you. Those are weaknesses against
- 1:11:44you. Whereas a lone wolf kind of guy that goes into a group made
- 1:11:49up of a bunch of other people is absolutely more dangerous to society than he
- 1:11:53is to the government. But I would still say he's probably also far more
- 1:11:57dangerous to the government than the than the Ape family. Man. I don't
- 1:12:00know, I don't know that. No. I don't mean an adamized family,
- 1:12:03man. I mean like a community of families that are intact and they're
- 1:12:09all like they're all talking to each other, like men, talking to each
- 1:12:12other, sharing ideas, showing each other skills and whatnot. That's that's serious
- 1:12:15stuff, man, I mean, I mean, isn't that basically the Founding
- 1:12:19Fathers where they just like a such of like chads like hanging out and like
- 1:12:25shooting at well, it's actually a bunch of teenage it's a bunch of teenage.
- 1:12:28Yeah, they're all like nineteen to like twenty four, but like yeah,
- 1:12:32but the thing is is that, like I think sometimes we kind of
- 1:12:38like anthropomorphize the state, we humanize the state. We give this state like
- 1:12:43this like Machiavellian kind of tendencies, that there's like the deep state, that
- 1:12:48there's this plan, right, and I think, I think more often than
- 1:12:53not, what it really is is it's a monopoly on power and violence.
- 1:12:58And it is kind of just how it's it's it's it's it's disassociated ideology that
- 1:13:04when put together becomes has a life of its own. I don't think the
- 1:13:09state. I don't know that the state is like I don't know that the
- 1:13:12FBI, for example, is like the biggest threat to the you know,
- 1:13:15to the corporate interests. Is like men discord service talking to each other.
- 1:13:19Right, But there's like this incentive structure where it's like the FBI is too,
- 1:13:25you know, validate their job, and so because they have to validate
- 1:13:28my job, I have to catch terrorists. Right, Well, how do
- 1:13:30I catch terrorists? Well, the way that I touch catch terrasts is I
- 1:13:32go andbed myself in communities and then I push and nudge them almost to the
- 1:13:38brink of action so that then I can stop that action. So I can
- 1:13:41go, look, I stop the terrorist because it's way way, way harder
- 1:13:44to track down the real terrorists that's already planning secretly. It's way easier to
- 1:13:48push groups and mentally ill people and things like that towards you know what I
- 1:13:54mean, Like it's it's a bunch of shit like that. So I think
- 1:13:56it's less about what is a threat to the state and more about understanding the
- 1:14:01incentive structures that that the cathedral as a whole, the media, academic institutions,
- 1:14:08you know, the the kind of like global organizations like the World Economic
- 1:14:12Forum, and our government institutions and the bureaucracy, what incentive structures kind of
- 1:14:17push them in certain directions. And then understanding that we have this blob with
- 1:14:23an insane amount of power and unlimited funds because they have the capacity and the
- 1:14:29means to tax, and then I think we get a better understanding of how
- 1:14:32the state operates. I think we too often try and humanize it because we
- 1:14:35need an evil thing and are visually we need an evil the idea of like
- 1:14:41an evil person with motives. The state doesn't have motives. The state has
- 1:14:45incentives. Yeah, well yeah, sure, it's got incentives to essentially make
- 1:14:53itself relevant, deep relevant, right, but this works on women? How
- 1:14:57does the state do that for women? Essentially, especially women on welfare.
- 1:15:01That's basically why there are women on welfare. This was all like I mean
- 1:15:05the plan of the great society right Lyndon Johnson and and but then like what
- 1:15:13is security too? Is? Is? Yeah, social security too and and
- 1:15:16all and like social securitymacare whatever it is? Well, yeah, with social
- 1:15:20security for example, people don't think of social security as a means of splitting
- 1:15:25up our families, but it absolutely is. Because if social security exists,
- 1:15:29then then there's no excuse for you not to be able to pay child support.
- 1:15:32If social security exists, then there's no excuse to you know, not
- 1:15:39be able to kick your grandparents and other people out of your community, out
- 1:15:42of your home, out of the grand out of the mother's suite in your
- 1:15:45backyard, and having a separate house for your mother. Social security is this
- 1:15:48is the very beginning of the social safety net that begins to destroy families because
- 1:15:53it gets rid of the grandparents, and then it gets it gets rid of
- 1:15:58the concept that you and I have to put our money together, save it
- 1:16:02together, invest in it together, so that we can retire together. And
- 1:16:08and and so social security really is the beginning of the destruction of the family.
- 1:16:11It's it's not even welfare and it's not even child sport. It really
- 1:16:15all starts with social security. Yeah yeah, well yeah, so then you
- 1:16:18know, I think, but yeah, I know, mean that's okay,
- 1:16:21I gotta go so soon too. I know you got another debate coming up.
- 1:16:24But that they that basically is in line with what I'm saying. I
- 1:16:28think that you know, you're right, if it breaks up the family,
- 1:16:31then it benefits the state, not because they're going after it, but they're
- 1:16:34just trying to get whatever. You know, essentially say, you need us
- 1:16:38because we give you social Security. You need us because we give you welfare,
- 1:16:41we give you food stamps, we give you housing, we give you
- 1:16:44a cell phone, you know, your Obama phone. Whatever. But then
- 1:16:47what that says is if there is a family that is intact and it's in
- 1:16:50a community, and there are you know, look at the Amish for example,
- 1:16:54right, like there's like massive extended families and they're very anti government.
- 1:17:00They're not necessarily the model that I would go, you know, but like
- 1:17:02they're they're a good example of how it can be done. And I don't
- 1:17:05think yeah, there is a Viewtube video called I think it's called like Dinner
- 1:17:12with the Amish or something like something close to that. She'd be able to
- 1:17:15find it. There is a misnomer and it is a lie that has been
- 1:17:18spread by the left. It is a It is a sneaky little fucking thing
- 1:17:24where people think of the Amish as Pennsylvania Dutch horse and buggy carriage. The
- 1:17:28overwhelming majority of Amish, Beechy, Amish and Mennonites are people that use cell
- 1:17:32phones, that have houses that have electricity for some reason, some of them
- 1:17:36don't have porches, like there are some weird shit there, but they are.
- 1:17:40They are the most libertarian, most conservative, haitless, most successful communities.
- 1:17:45And people go, well, you don't want to live like the Amish
- 1:17:46because you don't want to have like no electricity or right, It's actually no,
- 1:17:49you do want to live like the Amish. The beachy Amish is some
- 1:17:53of the greatest way that you could live in a community. You actually engage.
- 1:17:57Yeah, and they and they again right, and they don't like they're
- 1:18:00not affected by the incentive structure because they don't need it and they have it
- 1:18:04all figured out. And I agree with you. I mean, I shop
- 1:18:06in an Amish grocery store and I think it's in Blacksburg or Christiansburg, which
- 1:18:12is like nearby town. Yeah, and uh yeah, they use cell phones
- 1:18:15and cash registers and the Internet and all that. So but okay, anyway,
- 1:18:19Fabian, thank you so much. I don't know if there's anything that
- 1:18:21you wanted to say before, you know, we take off any like final
- 1:18:25words end the show. There, No, no, it's it's fine.
- 1:18:29Like I said, I have you know, I'm gonna go on here and
- 1:18:30you know, take a take a take a pe break and go debate against
- 1:18:35you know, lefties about whether or not Nazism is socialism idiot is spoiler alert,
- 1:18:41Yeah, we know, and right I got. I got, like
- 1:18:44I said, I got permanently banned from Twitter my account. I never got
- 1:18:46it back. It was when Jack Dorsey was still running it, and I
- 1:18:49said, I've never I've been yeah, something to the effect of Nazis and
- 1:19:00communism are all leftism, and people like they live like flipped out at me
- 1:19:05and I was like, dude, just just do the research, like just
- 1:19:09trust me. But yeah, if you ever want to talk in you know,
- 1:19:11hit me up or whatever, I'd love to talk about these issues or
- 1:19:13libertarianism or if you really want to get into like a you know, we
- 1:19:15can go into my sphere and really go into deep libertarian philosophy and stuff too.
- 1:19:19I'd love to talk with you about it too, you know. Sounds
- 1:19:21good. Thanks, yeah, thanks so much, appreciate it. And again
- 1:19:26I just want to say this, you know, for the record, this
- 1:19:28this is the level of discourse that we try to stay at when we talk
- 1:19:31about men's issues because we look at we're looking at a big picture here.
- 1:19:35This isn't just about like a guy trying to get a date. This is
- 1:19:39like way more than that. But unfortunately the stuff that you know, well,
- 1:19:46yeah, we with not a lot of women, but we do have
- 1:19:48some women over here. So anyway, thanks some boy, I don't care.
- 1:19:54Thanks, thanks so much guys for hanging out on the show. I'm
- 1:19:57gonna ask that you like, share, subscribe, and comment and we'll talk
- 1:20:00to you all in the next one. Thank you so much. Talk to
- 1:20:03you later.
