EP: 58 Globalization Lies, Welfare Traps & Manufactured Culture Wars · The Sense and Senseless Podcast

• Bryan: You keep the people of the area destabilized, fighting over who was right and who is wrong. Offer them solutions that they didn't need after you created problems they didn't have. And now you have people you can easily rule over. As they never have time to look up and to see who's actually fucking them. And this is what they did to the Middle East. let's take this a step even f back further. Where have we gotten in society where a dude thinks that it's okay and it's good for him to go compete with girls and be proud that he beat a fucking girl. How did we ever get to that point? Yeah, any of them. How did the boxer in the Olympics? How do you fucking come to that? Who allowed you to think that that would go be a good thing to do? That yeah, yeah, I know you dude, you put some lipstick on, you go beat that girl up in the boxing ring. Now we ought to applaud you. Who the fuck thinks like that? Why are we not protecting our women? Jason: Yeah. Like that swimmer that swimmer did that. Yeah. The boxer. I should have done that shit in high school, Bryan: Ready action. Jason: And Bryan: It sounded like it was slow. Maybe it was just on my Welcome back to the Sentinels Podcast. I am Brian. Jason: What's your upload again? I'm Jason. Bryan: I'm at 99%. He's Jason. If you're new here, welcome to the family. We're just two dudes trying to make sense of shit in a way we can all understand. Last episode, we exposed the game, the mind fuck, where both Republicans and Democrats keep bailing out a sinking ship instead of trying to fucking fix the damn thing. We showed how out of touch politicians divide us, how the media turns us into short attention consumers who fight each other over bullshit, and how inconvenient voices get destroyed or silenced. All of it to prove the real playbook to control the masses, divide and conquer, control the narrative, and keep us at each other's throats. In this episode, we're gonna keep moving forward with what basically we were talking about last episode, but we're gonna go back in history and discuss the Ottoman Empire and bring the correlation of that six hundred year empire to the United States. Stay with us as I'm going somewhere with this shit. You know, just trust the process. like, share, and subscribe. We appreciate every single one of you. You got anything, Jason? Jason: Nope. Run it. Bryan: Let's do this shit. Right. So we're going to start with a video. And this is where Zionism may have started. Gotta find a video. Here we go. Okay. I just wanted to play that video to give you a little background on Europe and the Zionist movement. If by explain this the way I I think I can explain it, this will be later understood, either in this episode and the next episode, but it it should all, you know, you should be able to understand where I'm going with this. I don't want to have to explain this to you right now, but I wanted you to see this for our discussions later on. All right. You got anything before we move on? You could say what you need. Jason: I think no, no, I know. I just think we we've discussed this before and I guess you're gonna go into it a little bit thicker of just strategically placing people in certain locations and there's a reason. Bryan: Yes, I think so. Jason: They didn't just drop the Jews right where they did for the here, we found a little chunk of land not being occupied. Here you go. It's strategic. There's a reason why they put there. Bryan: I think so. I can't prove that, but I think so. Okay, so real quick, we're gonna do some history. What I'm about to go over is a very simplified version of the fall of the Ottoman Empire and how this affected the Middle East. Okay. Now, most of the Middle East and parts of Africa made up the Ottoman Empire. And this empire lasted a little over 600 years. By the eighteen hundreds, this powerful empire was heavily in debt. Funding a huge outdated military and overextension of their monetary resources led the Empire to having to borrow money from which could have been considered their foes, both Britain and France. The private banks that loan this money were owned by powerful families like the Rothschilds. Now, once you have borrowed money from the devil, nothing ends well, right? And by the early 1900s, Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: There was no more Ottoman Empire. The debt collectors started cashing in the debt, and this was costly to the Ottomans. Now, around the same time, there were Westerners combing the Middle Eastern deserts for oil. Now, of course, once they found pay dirt, this caused a frenzy, you know. This might have been maybe something like the the gold rush, maybe, you know. The same time in the early 1900s, Germans were building a railway from Berlin to Baghdad. They called it the Baghdad Railway. They were going to use this to ship oil, bypass the normal naval routes and shipping lanes. the Brits and the French didn't like that very much at all. To add to this, Winston Churchill, who was the driving force behind modernizing the British Navy at the time. knew that the future was not coal. You know, so therefore he needed oil for his new engines. Now, guess what? The Brits had coal, but they don't have oil. But guess who does? The Middle East. Jason: Mm. Bryan: Now what I found this week and looking at a lot of the stuff that that this was one of the reasons why we ended up going to war with Germany and Ottoman Empire in World War One. That oil in the Middle East and the Baghdad Railway put crosshairs on Germany and the Ottoman Empire because the Ottoman Empire chose to align with Germany. Now World War I takes off and the Ottoman Empire falls alongside of Germany. During World War I, there was an estimated 15 to 22 million people killed. And this is military and civilians. Of that, three to five million were killed in the Middle East. The Ottoman deaths were 325,000 to 771,000 military. And in 1.2 to 2.5 million civilians. They estimate that the Ottomans lost two to four million people in World War One. And following World War One, there were sanctions put on Germany and and they had to pay the Western countries, you know, reparations for this war. And the Western countries came in and they just started dividing. The Ottoman Empire. Basically, what they did is they came in and they just drew lines on a map and took the best areas and their mineral rights. They didn't consider who was living where, what cultures or where, and what religions or regions of worship, nothing. They just got together and divvied up the loot the best way it suited them. They didn't give a shit about the people. And we wonder why there was so much chaos in the Middle East. We we hear of religious wars, but we don't hear how the people that thought differently from one another, that you know, had different religions, that had different beliefs, just woke up one day and were told they had to l live with each other. So now you got these groups that don't like each other. Because they have different ideology, living in the same states, and they start fighting each other. And we just look at it and call it religious wars. And these people just wake up one day and their country's borders change. And I'm sure this probably even split families apart. But like we said in the last episode, they them didn't care. They just wanted the fucking oil. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: You keep the people of the area destabilized, fighting over who was right and who is wrong. Offer them solutions that they didn't need after you created problems they didn't have. And now you have people you can easily rule over. As they never have time to look up and to see who's actually fucking them. And this is what they did to the Middle East. Jason: Mm. Yeah. Bryan: That makes sense. Did you know that story? Jason: No, I had no idea that happened. And that sounds like the the Middle East wasn't really a volatile area until Until that, pretty well. Bryan: Well, it was all under one rule and it had different states in it. And I'm not gonna say they didn't have, you know, rifts and all, but no, the way they drew the lines caused issues. Yeah. you in the last episode you said the Sunnis and someone else living in Iraq and all. And I read all that, and it's true. They had multiple groups living in the same area, and they're supposed to just blend. You know, and it they they never had to blend before, and they don't. Jason: Made it worse. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm. They don't. Bryan: But Jason: Yeah. Bryan: it's no different than you know, they trying to tell us that we're different, but we have to blend. And most of us have no problem blending, and we'll go through that tonight. But you take the ones on the far outside edges, the ones that make the most noise, and then make it appear like we don't want to, and that that keeps problems within us. And it's the same thing, in my opinion, not us that done it, but at this time it was Britain and France. Of how they destabilized the Middle East. That's just how I see it. I could be completely wrong, but based off of everything I read and watched. Jason: Looks like you're on to something. Bryan: Pretty much look like that's what they did. Jason: Yeah. Cause chaos and hate and discontent over there and then you can damn near take what you want because they're not unified. If they were unified, they could stop it er other countries from doing that. Bryan: No. Then he then he pretty much did. And if you remember when we talked about Iran, how the British had their oil from the early nineteen hundreds into the fifties, and then in the fifties the Iranian leader decided to take the mineral rights back, and then we had to do a coup in the fifty three and you know, the seventy nine, and we they they overthrew the Brit the British Tsar that they put in there, whatever his name was, Mohammed, whatever. So yeah, it We destabilized the shit out of all of I don't know of anything out of all the trillions we spent on the war and terror and everything we did in the Middle East that made anything better for those people. Not the people. It might have made a lot of people rich over there, you know. But the people that live there, I don't we how many millions of people we were talking about, whether it was last week or the week before last that were displaced multiple times. It's just unreal. Jason: yeah. Bryan: And no matter where you go in time or what you look at, the ones with the most money, whether their names are the the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, whatever, they them, they're the ones that run everything. It doesn't matter what what time frame it was, what area, you know, period of you know, the world, whoever has the most money is who rules the world. It's just the way it is. And they sit there and they have us fighting over crumbs and they just laugh at us. When you think of the Hunger Games and how they, you know, make this game out of everything. And we all joke about how one day we're gonna be in the Hunger Games. If you take if you zoom out far enough and look how we fight each other on a daily basis and what they're looking at us on, we're probably already in the fucking Hunger Games. It's just, you know, we're not sitting there actually fighting in that sense. You know what I'm saying? And when I'm done with this by the end of the night in the next episode, you're gonna completely understand that. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: All right. So here we are. We're thirty nine trillion in debt. We have our military stretched around the world. We spent a fuck ton on our defense buff budget and they're asking for more. And I have no problem with having the best military in the world. And I know that comes at a price. But do you really think we're getting what we pay for? Like the contracts that are being signed aren't costing us as much as in fraud as it is in actual cost. And here's a recent example of how we're getting fucked because we love our country and want the best. So we don't argue over the money allocated to the defense. You know, we want to defend our great nation. But since we don't argue about this shit, this is the kind of shit we get. According to CBS News, a Pentagon watchdog report found that in roughly two years since it was built, an ammunition plant in Mesquite, Texas has not produced any. Parts for the 155 millimeter artillery rounds, hindering the Army's goal to help backfield stocks of ammunition provided to Ukraine after Russia invaded in 2022. In a report released Monday, the Defense Department Inspector General found that as of March 2026, the plant had not produced any metal projectile parts that met the specifications laid out in the contract. And the Army's expenditure of a Four hundred and sixty nine million to the establish the Mesquite facility could have been used to address other Army or Department of Defense priorities. That plant, which is operated by General Dynamics, Ordnance and Tactical Systems, opened in May 2024. As of March of 2026, the Army was producing about 36,000 rounds per month, still far short of the $100,000 a month goal. In part because the facility in Mesquite failed to produce any of the thirty thousand projectile metal parts it was expected to meet each month, according to the report. So where's that four hundred and sixty nine million dollars? Where'd it go? We Jason: I don't somebody's pocket got I mean it's laundering, isn't it? Isn't that s that's money laundering. That's definition right there. Bryan: yeah, well we should have something to show for that. But yet we're fighting over crumbs. You know, we're fighting with each other about this dumb shit and we're losing millions. That's a half a billion dollars basically. Just Jason: Mm-hmm. And that's just one example. Bryan: That's one example. Right. And that's not only stealing our money, but it's also hindering our defense of our country. Jason: Who's the reporter that covered that? We might wanna watch their name and see if they end up with two gunshot wounds to the head and they committed suicide. Bryan: Yeah, you he might commit suicide twice. Jason: He chopped his own head off. Twice. Yeah. We found two katana swords in there. Whoa, it's a you could he was a big street fighter enthusiast. you could finish it off katana wins, flawless victory Jeez. Bryan: That's right. There was Mortal Kombat. Fiddleship. It's sad. I mean i it that's more believable than than the suicide from that we discussed in the last episode. Jason: Yeah. But yeah, I mean that geez. Bryan: No, man. All right. So in the last episode, we started talking about how we are a society of consumers. And the next video, for those of y'all listening, it's going to show the change in world economic superpowers since World War II. The video actually goes back to 1800, but for our discussion, we're only going to go, we're only going to view this from after World War II. So I got to pull this one up and screen share. So give me a second. You're gonna enjoy this. All right, so as you can see in World War Two, the US was the dominant, I mean, by far, the economic superpower. So I mean we had way the fuck over here and then the Germany. Germany's what twenty-five percent of what we are. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: than United Kingdom and Russia. China is what, one, two, three, four, five, six. Way the fuck down here. That's China. So let's Let's watch how this plays out. All right, so that's where I want to be. So we're at nineteen sixty. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: Nineteen sixty, the US was still the powerhouse, right? But this is when things start to change. And one of the reasons might be because in the nineteen sixties we started offshore a lot of our business, which we're gonna go over in a little bit, but we way the fuck ahead of everybody at this point. Way the fuck ahead of everybody. Let's see where we go from here. Jason: Mm. Bryan: All right, so nineteen eighty, nineteen seventy-nine, there. This is when our manufacturing employment had peaked in the US at around nineteen point five million jobs. So we still got a pretty good lead on everybody. China actually dropped further down. And yeah, they took a big plummet. India's still down. And then Jason: Yeah, I seen them take a big plummet. Bryan: manufacturing had already been in declining since the fifties and sixties, but absolute job losses and economic turn intensified after the nineteen seventy nine. During this period, the shift from making shit in the US shifted to services, and what led to our economy being dominated by finance, real estate, and healthcare. Suddenly people that build or fix things were looked down upon, and everyone was chasing the dream of the corner office with a view. That's where we at in nineteen eighty. Let's move a little further. All right, year two thousand. Where we at now? We're still pretty good lead. Jason: China done jumped up or yeah, I know but Bryan: Shina's moving pretty quick, ain't it? Jason: Yeah, they are. I thought old Japan was about to get us Bryan: Well but Between two thousand and two thousand nine, the US lost between five and six million manufacturing jobs. Where you think they went? Jason: Overseas. Bryan: All right. Let's go a little further. Jason: India India had them call centers. That's what drove their shit. Bryan: Yeah, they they moving up though, aren't they? You know, India was a huge power for a long time. I didn't realize that until I started doing a little more history. yeah, they were a huge power for a long fucking time. All right. Let's move a little further. Jason: God Dag there they went. Bryan: All right, yep. So where we at now? Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, China takes the lead. Here comes pride in the back stretch, hard ache running on the inside. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: By twenty thirteen, China has surpassed us as the economic power. All right, so now I'm just gonna let it play out and You're gonna see how far this goes. This next bit for all of y'all listening. Jason, just go ahead and describe what you're looking at. Cause I've seen this before. Just describe what you've seen in the last couple of minutes. Jason: Well, it's I mean, we were like way ahead like nobody could even get near us. If we just continued a good growth, we were gonna always be the the heaviest power financial or financially. And it's all the Australia, Thailand, Iran, Spain, Saudi, Canada, South Korea, Turkey, Mexico, Italy, France. I mean, there was China was like you said, number six and I seen fall down like halfway, like to n number ten or twelve. And then I mean India and China and Japan right now, they're You know, I would have thought Russia. Bryan: So much. Jason: Would have been our best contender or or even United Kingdom. And Bryan: Why you think no one talks about China being a power like this? And just for everyone listening and looking at this, this is by purchasing power. All right. So this is not actually overall GDP. This is purchasing power. What you can actually go out and purchase. All right. And that's what we're losing. We're losing purchasing power. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: All right. Let's play it, let it play out and see how far this goes. Now it's gonna start estimating as it goes forward. I think when it gets up to like twenty nineteen or something, it starts doing a little more estimation, but it goes all the way up to twenty forty. And that's what I really want you to see. So I'm just gonna let it play out and then I'll let you explain what you see. All right. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: And that's where China should be by twenty forty. Jason: Yeah, that's crazy. Like forty million. Bryan: That's wild, huh? Jason: That way we're at like twenty n or thirty or something like that. Bryan: Trying to figure out how to stop the screen share. Jason: But India was right there on our heels too. I mean, we were going backwards pretty I mean, it looked like we we were gaining, but it looked like we were going backwards according to the graph. But Bryan: Definitely wasn't gaining much. Jason: No. China was just like foom, like like a rocket ship. That's that's on us. I mean Yeah. And I mean we seen that. We seen that in the nineties and early two thousands, the late nineties and early two thousands when a lot of these factories started shutting down like Whirlpool and places like that and they started going overseas. Bryan: Is that eye opening or what? Yeah, it well it was designed that way. And we're gonna we're about to go over that. Now it's called globalization. Now I know for some of you I'm oversimplifying this issue, you know. But for most of the people in this country, they don't even know this. You know? They haven't seen this shit before. Jason: Yeah, what what was that? NAFTA? Bryan: Well NAFTA is part of it, but it all started Jason: That was a big crock and and caused a lot of problems with us because we Yeah. They said that was one of the biggest bull crap things we ever signed and got into and it took a lot of lot of business from us and a lot you know what I'm saying? We were importing way more stuff than we were exporting. Bryan: I think that was in ninety four. We're still doing that. I mean Trump was trying to work with that with Jason: well that yeah, but they acted like that that started a big chunk of that and see where we're at today. Bryan: Well, what caused this shit in the simplest terms is is it was the push for globalization. And globalization in the simplest terms is opening the world up to a free marketplace. And it sounded great. The people of the US and other countries would get cheaper shit and corporations were gonna get cheaper labor and higher profit margins. Right? And this was gonna create wealth for all of us. You know, this this would spread the wealth. Well, it fucking spread the wealth, all right. Jason: Ha ha. Bryan: Among the fucking elites. No. So in in in the nineteen sixties and seventies, wealth was more evenly spread. The middle class was strong, and the top one percent held a smaller share. Starting in the nineteen eighties, around the time globalization accelerated, inequality started rising sharply. By recent years, the top 1% own about 30 to 35% of all household wealth. The top Jason: got it? Yeah, who got all that wealth, Brian? Not us. Bryan: Ten percent hold around seventy percent of the wealth. The bottom fifty percent, well, we only hold less than ten percent of the wealth. Yeah, we became richer as a country overall, but there's a fucking big divide between who's rich and who's poor. Big divide. Which brings me back to how we're being played. Globalization started in the 1960s and ramped up in the 80s, meaning we were losing jobs for the working class. Prior to the 1960s, the scale of welfare in the U.S. was small. This grew. From 1960 to the from nineteen sixties to the nineties, which peaked with about five million families on welfare. Then there was welfare reform in 1996, and this ended the cash welfare as it was written, which I didn't know this. So prior to the reform, welfare was an open entitlement. So if you qualified usually as single moms with kids and low income. You would get the benefits as long as you need them with a few requirements. But with the reform in nineteen ninety six. able bodies were limited to five years and they had to show they were looking for work. I didn't know that. But this is probably why I didn't know this, is because this federal reform, there were states like California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, Oregon, and DC who just had laxed requirements. So you can still get on the system and still get what you needed without having Jason: I didn't either. Bryan: to deal with the five years and showing you're looking for work. In twenty twenty five, we spent one point two trillion on federal programs like SNAP, earned income tax credits, housing aid, and welfare. When you include Social Security and Medicare, we spent three to four trillion dollars in one fucking year. Jason: Crazy. Bryan: So we're we're back up to the nineteen ninety six range of spending twenty percent of I G D P on government aid. This is more than double what it was prior to globalization. Currently, a hundred to hundred and fifty million people in the US receive some form of government assistance. That is roughly thirty to forty-five percent of the population. And it looks like globalization not only made us poorer, but it made us more dependent on the government. Jason: That's where you're hitting the nail on the head, dude, 'cause that's votes. Bryan: Exactly. Now, this next video I'm about to play for you. It's it's about Republican and Democrat, but I don't want people to get lost on that. I want you to view this through a lens of education, not who's right or who's wrong. Just listen to the guy because he has a really good point. And I don't care if you're a Republican or if you're a Democrat, just listen to him and you'll understand. Jason: Yeah. Take your hat and your shirt off and sit on the fence and just watch. Bryan: Yep. There you go. Jason: It's okay to sit on the fence on this one. Bryan: How'd you like that? Jason: That that that's that's slick. Bryan: Pretty smart, huh? Jason: Yeah, you don't have to be one way or the other to understand that, I hope. I hope you heard people can you people. What do you mean by you people? You racists again saying you people no I'm talking about people that wanna hang on frickin' Democrat or Republican. Stop. Jeez. Bryan: Why would they want us send our jobs overseas? All right. I I don't I don't know. I'll I'm gonna show you something, these graphs I got. Okay. So for those of y'all listening. This this is a graph showing people that are receiving government benefits. This is total government benefits, and this is in the millions. All right. So you see in 1960, this is when they started talking about globalization. From 1960 to 2000, I mean, it just shoots well, actually fucking 2010, it shoots straight up. Then it comes down for a little bit to two 2020. All right. And then it shoots back up again. Globalization in nineteen sixty, I mean, it just skyrocketed it. I mean, do you see it otherwise? Jason: it was yeah, it's not a nice it's not a steady climb. It's like it's like this. It's like a like a forty five degree angle. Bryan: Yeah, and and like the thirty years before that, or even even more, maybe forty years, it was a slight angle, then it just shot straight to fuck up. I mean we went from twenty billion or whatever this is, you know, way to we just went way to fuck up. Now Jason: It was Yeah, it went from like a two or three degree incline up from whenever to nineteen forty, then then it was it looked like nineteen fifty, it it kinda like, And then nineteen sixty it was like, And then from sixty on, dude, it w it went straight forty five, fifty degree angle up. I mean, just hard. Not straight up and down, but it Bryan: So this next one Yeah, I mean there's almost a forty five degree angle. And then the next one I'm gonna show you, this is welfare to GDP. Jason: Yeah. It looks the same. Bryan: Okay, so the Great Depression, I mean it j it shot straight the fuck up, right? Then it stabilized. Yep. And then the nineteen sixties, I mean, it jumped way the fuck up here. Now, that one spot they show, that's whenever they they went ahead and did their reform in nineteen ninety six, and it dropped, right? But but we're right back where we used to be. So we currently Jason: Yeah. Yeah. And we understand that, right. Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: Still at twenty percent of our GDP that we're spending on social welfare. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: That's a lot of people. That's a lot of votes. That's a lot of dependency. And that could have been avoided. I would assume that a lot of people, majority of people, would like to work for a paycheck. You know, they want to be part of something. But I think now at that time, I think now we created a society that doesn't need a paycheck because they are have a dependency on the government. And the government likes that because they have constant voters. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And who wouldn't want to sit at home and not have to take orders from somebody? Bryan: it's get a check just to sit at home? I mean, that'd be nice. You know, I would assume I don't know. I I I haven't been there. I would assume yes, because the stress that, you know, I have to deal with, I get it, you know. But would it be fulfilling very long? I don't know. And I would think that majority of the people, when they were first losing their jobs because of this globalization, felt like that. They want it to work. But when you go out, and I'm not taking up for anybody. Jason: Yeah. No. Bryan: The people that just get over on the system, I mean, that's just bullshit. Having said that, I would assume that if if you they are offshore on your jobs, right? Let's just say in the 60s, the 70s, 80s, they come in and they shut this whole damn plant down, like in Michigan or whatnot. They shut that whole plant down. Now you got thousands of people without jobs. Now all these people are competing for s l just what little jobs they have left out there, right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: So now it's hard for you to find a job. Now that's gonna be demoralizing as shit. Right. And you just constantly trying to find, constantly trying to find, and everything's beating you up. I don't know. Is it did we beat them in the submission? I don't know either. I I didn't have to go through that, so I can't answer that. But looking at the numbers and and putting it in the graph with the dates, you would almost be damn sure that. Jason: I don't know. Bryan: Globalization and us offshoring our jobs created the welfare state. It just did. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: All right, so now They want you to fight over everything. They want you to be a victim of everything. They want you to depend on the government. And this is all for control. Now, I I don't I can't prove that they was playing 8D chess back then and they started globalization because they knew they were gonna have, you know, government programs and be able to control the vote. I I don't I don't know all that. But looking back, he you know, hindsight, you can see how it worked out. And Now what if you are a party of the middle class or the working class? I mean, how does that look? Listen to this lady. Think about that. She is right. Jason: She's right. I mean, I've known that for a long time. Bryan: Well, did you know that Currently in the US, roughly fifty one percent of the population is considered middle class. Did you know that? A little more than half of the fucking population is middle class. That they have us fighting over shit that has nothing to do with us. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: I mean she's telling you, I mean, that you can't barely get government assistance and you're not gonna buck an invest. You you just you're just in the strap race. Now, here here's another number for you. In 2025, 45% of adults identify as independent voters. The Republicans and the Dem Democrats each held steady at 27%. So you have 51% of the population that's the middle class. And you got 45%, almost half of the adults identify as independent voters. Right? So that that means a lot of us don't like the two party system, yet we're fighting over their talking points, like our lives fucking depend on it. You know, divide and conquer. Why? Because they they pit us, they put little things in front of us all the time to fight about that has really nothing to do with anything. And I'm gonna talk about one. Do you have anything before I move on? Okay, so I'm gonna talk about one thing. Jason: No go. Bryan: And this might piss some people off, but it's the goal is not to piss you off. It's to show you how they pit us against each other over just something trivial. All right. Jason: Yeah. And we already said people are gonna get pissed off just to get pissed off anyway, so Bryan: Yeah. All right. So let's talk about the LGB community. All right. Let's talk about that fight. Most people my age grew up not giving a fuck who you fucked. We just didn't. We were brought up that if whatever you did behind you your door is you now, did we make fun of gay men? Yeah. But not so much because they were gay as because we didn't want we didn't want that to be portrayed as a man. Does that make sense? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: You know, we didn't want a gay person that was a flamboyant gay person being portrayed as what you want to be as a man. That's why most of us picked that. We didn't want to be portrayed that way, and we didn't want men to be seen that way. Point blank. Am I wrong? So I mean, I we did make fun of gay men, but it it it wasn't because they were gay. It's because we didn't want to be portrayed as that way. Jason: No. Spar on. They weren't a man's man. Bryan: Exactly. And so so be it. That's just the way it was back then. All right. But we accepted them. You know? And we didn't care that they were gay, nor do we care who they fucked as long as it was a consenting in a league of age, you know. And and that was accepted. We all got along. No longer a fight between straights and gays. It it was, I mean, it kind of they they was able to finally get married and all this other stuff, you know. So then they started adding more letters to the alphabet just to piss you off. And I really believe they did this. Which is fine, do you, you know. But they wanted The problem was they wanted us to join them in their world of make-believe that a man could be a woman and vice versa. You know, that there was a hundred genders and men can have babies and men straight and people can be animals. You know, they want us to participate in all this. We can accept that a man could love a man, that a woman could love a woman. We accepted that. That was not a problem. And they could not that they no longer had a problem to solve. Right. So you start losing money. You start losing support. You stop losing the bickering between straight people and gay people because we accepted each other. And we had even back then they had transgender people. We didn't care. We didn't care that they, you know, they had what was it that they would do like RuPaul and them? They would have, I wouldn't say exactly RuPa. Yeah, and they would have those those shows and shit, and people would go to them, nobody cared. Jason: Mm-hmm. cross dressers. Bryan: But don't bring it to a school. Don't bring it to a library. You know, we don't want those kind of things. And when you start, they found that they can push a nerve by having kids start to transgender. They knew that they can create a fight. And not only did they create a fight, is now they want to put that fight and group it with the lesbian and the gays. You see what I'm getting at? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: There's no reason to group that together. That's not the same people. But they put them all together. Because why not? We can continue this fight with this group that we already have. Now, I can't speak for lesbian and gay community, and I'm not going to speak for the lesbian and gay community. Having said that, in my opinion, I think that the lesbian and gay community was hijacked by all these other letters. You know, because we can accept the fact, again, Jason: Yeah. Bryan: That a man can love a man and a woman can love a woman. But I know me personally and and people that I associate with, we can't accept the fact that a man can be a woman and a woman could be a man and a man can have a baby. That just don't happen. That's not natural. It doesn't work. You don't have a hundred genders. You can't you can be a furry. You can have these things. You can do whatever you want. I don't care. I'm not gonna judge you for that. Don't ask me to to join in in that, you know. Jason: To play your game. Yep. Bryan: You know, don't ask me to call you a pronoun. Don't ask me, you know, to say you a man when you're actually a woman or vice versa, or treat you like a cat or a dog. No, I'm not playing in that. And I think that's gonna be a lot of problems for a lot of people. And they know that. And they can keep pulling that thread and they can keep pissing people off. And they can keep people fighting each other because no one it's gonna take a long time for people to accept that. It is. It's gonna take a long time for people to accept that. But do you see where I'm going with that? Jason: No, I definitely yeah, th they're always pitting shit. I never what is Q? Bryan: I don't I don't it some I looked it up and some say queer and some say questioning. So it's depend on actually where you at at the time. So I I don't know. Jason: It's like where you don't know you just don't know what you are. Bryan: You just don't know. Yeah, Q I A i I mean it's just so many letters. I if I I'm not gonna lie. If if I was a gay man, I'd Jason: No, there's an AI video that's funny. Like if Democrats ran r ruled the world for like a million years. And I did you I did you play it on here? Because I've seen it on TikTok. And it's like we we found another letter to go in this, and the dude says we can't handle anymore. It'll throw off the rotation of the earth. And he the woman says, I don't care, you put it in there. And you know, they were More worried about a letter getting put in there than the world spinning correctly. It's that's what I'm getting at. Bryan: Or people just they get that lost in themselves. Jason: Can we not put S in there for straight? Bryan: I don't I don't want to be we we we don't have to be part of that community because I don't I don't even want to go there honestly I mean they have their own community I just believe if if I was a a gay man I would be upset that there's so many issues constantly being caused because of all these other letters. What's that? Jason: Why w no bullshit, Brian? Why can't we be in there? Okay. No, I'm just kidding Old school gays will tell you that. Old school gays will tell you they did not fight for this shit. Bryan: I I can't see how you would. I'm they've gone so far to being accepted, you know. Jason: They're embarrassed. They're embarrassed because of this. Yeah. The older gays will tell you they're embarrassed by the LGBTQ plus crap. And you just said that's their community. To the people that push us to accept them, but they gotta have their own community. What can we not all just be in one community? Bryan: I would have to believe that the actual LGBTQIA or whatever that whole community didn't even start this. I would believe that this came out out of the ether. Yeah, right. I mean, they create a reason for us not to agree with them. You know, they manufacture in a crisis that wasn't needed. They're just finding some another reason to pit us against each other. Because that's a very small percentage of the population. Jason: Right. The government. Yeah. Right. Bryan: To be able to gain traction that they did to move forward, you know, an agenda. Think about it. You know, that's a very small population in this country. And Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: I think most people don't care what you do behind your clothes but in your home behind closed door. I don't. I really don't. I just don't think they want to be putting out an illusion. Jason: I don't Like I said, I don't agree with it, but I don't care either. I mean I'm I'm entitled to my opinion. Do I hate you? Do I not no, I just don't I I I because I'm I don't have that problem, so I don't understand And and to me, like you said, there's two genders, there's male and female. And I'm not going against that ever. To sit there and think that two like two males and two females can be attracted to each other like a man and a woman usually are, that's hard enough to understand. But to sit there and try to make your own genders up and that we get a choose, that'd be like okay, can I can it I'm gonna throw this out here and I don't know if hopefully we don't get flagged for this or whatever. Bryan: and Jason: I didn't choose to be white, Brian. Did you choose to be did you choose to be your nationality, your skin color? Did can we go to the doctor and get injected and get I know. Well, you can go to Rogaine and get you some or go to somewhere and get hair implants. But what I'm getting at is can we go get injected with dye to change our color to black? Bryan: So you I damn sure didn't choose to be bald. He might be able to. I don't know if he'd be accepted. You'd probably be yeah. Jason: That's what I'm getting at. It's not it's the same damn difference. Bryan: Misappropriation cultural whatever they say that. Jason: Ex yeah, accept who you were born to be. Just like these white girls we we we hear trying to talk like they're black. Like stop it. Bryan: Well, let me say this. You said accept who you was born to be, and most of these people believe that they were born to be something else. You know? And if you believe that you were supposed to be a woman and you were born a man or born a boy and you you believe that you're supposed to be woman and you're in your twenties or whatnot, and you're old enough to make that decision that you want to make that sex change, do you? I'm I don't care. That's your money. As long as We're not paying for it as a taxpayer. I don't give a shit what you do to yourself. I really don't. I don't think it's worth doing. I think you're gonna hurt yourself. I think you have more mental issues. No, I think yeah, I think you have more mental issues than you should talk to someone. But if you go through all the you, you you you go through all the therapy, you talk to people, and that's still what you want to do. You you know, don't make it normalized to where it's with the kids. Jason: You can't go back. Yeah. Bryan: You know, and don't make me have to accept the fact of what you've done. And I think a lot of people that went through this, these changes in the past didn't care. You know, they probably didn't want all this limelight brought to them. That's just how I think. And that's just my in my opinion, it was just another way to divide us. Jason: Yeah. Yeah. And maybe the reason why I'm talking the way I am is not because I don't accept and that's a former race. No, it's not. It's like you said, they're shoving it down our throats. If they weren't shoving it down my throat, I wouldn't care. But since you're gonna shove it down my throat, now I'm gonna start speaking back, right? Now you're you're you're pushing me into a corner to say something. And I think they want that. Bryan: I agree with you. When when you have a Pride Mont and you and a veteran only has a day for fucking veterans day and and and the guys that died for the rights for us to argue about this today, get one day they get Memorial Day, but they get a whole Pride Month. So yeah, I agree with you. Yo, please excuse us if I don't buy any of your shit, you know, that's being shoved down our throats, you know. But it does create division. And I I think they them Jason: Get Memorial Day. Yeah. Bryan: You know, they taking a small part of the population and they're making a huge deal of it for the majority of us. Jason: I hate them. Bryan: They did. And what's really bad is the rich buy into this shit for some reason. And now we must follow their lead. You know, it's I don't know why, especially rich white women. Why they get into all this shit? And all of this just makes us mad at the wrong people. And this is just again, the whole it's a reason to keep us divided. All of this little stuff. And I'm not again, I'm not picking on gay people. I'm not picking on transgender people. I don't care. I'm just showing you how just adding a letter and them, you know, bringing it bigger and making it bigger and making it pro mo more prominent and pushing it and pushing it, pushing it on normal people, it creates a problem. It's a problem that we didn't want. We didn't ask to be part of that community. We didn't ask, we didn't want to join the community. Jason: Or or even better better yet than th than pushing it on sports to wear that stuff. Bryan: Yep. Yeah, that's even worse too. That's yeah, especially the the girls in women's sports is really fucked up because the whole reason that to have a girl in women's sports is because they can't physically compete with guys. And to have a guy, first of all, let's take this a step even f back further. Where have we gotten in society where a dude thinks that it's okay and it's good for him to go compete with girls and be proud that he beat a fucking girl. How did we ever get to that point? Yeah, any of them. How did the boxer in the Olympics? How do you fucking come to that? Who allowed you to think that that would go be a good thing to do? That yeah, yeah, I know you dude, you put some lipstick on, you go beat that girl up in the boxing ring. Now we ought to applaud you. Who the fuck thinks like that? Why are we not protecting our women? Jason: Yeah. Like that swimmer that swimmer did that. Yeah. The boxer. I should have done that shit in high school, man. I'd have been a bomb on the basketball court. Bryan: That's what I'm getting at. Yeah. So we we take a bunch of NBA players and we put them in a WNBA. I mean, that does not make any sense. If women could compete with men, there would be no need for women's sports. It's nothing against women. That's the whole reason there's women's sports. I don't know, man. Again, this is just another reason why they divide us. I'm not trying to make a big deal about it, but they they push that because they know that it's going to hit a nerve in people. And when when they want you to accept it, they know you're not going to accept that. So that's something they can keep you pitted against each other on. And we got to be smarter than that. You gotta be smarter than that. Which brings me back to the first video about Zionism beginning in Europe. Jason: Yep. Yep. Bryan: And we talk a lot about Israel controlling our politicians and how APAC is the arm they use for this control. And for the most part, this is true when you look at the Republican Party. But who controls the Democratic Party? You know, we we'll discuss this in the next episode, as I believe we may be controlled by multiple countries and we're being destroyed from within. And in my opinion, our saving grace may be our Second Amendment rights. Jason: Mm. That's sad. No. Bryan: Got anything, Jason? You see where we're going with this? Is this all making sense? Jason: I see. I hope everybody else does. yeah. Bryan: Ha ha. Jason: It makes sense. No, it makes total sense. We ain't senseless tonight. This stuff's making a lot of sense. I just hope other people can see it and see past your party. Drop the party shit tonight or this week, guys. Just drop it. Try it, try it for a week or two. Bryan: Yep. All right, everyone. Thanks for joining us. This is the Sense and Senseless Podcast. I'm Brian. Yeah, Jay's all. Peace. Jason: And I'm Jason. Base.
