  Speaker 1: I'm SuperGlutenator, Trader Joe's.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: I'm asking Trader Joe's to stop selling produce, cattle.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: And poultry and stop profiting off of suffering.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Chickens deserve medical attention!
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Tell me you've never taken care of chickens before without
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: telling me you've never taken care of chickens. Chickens are
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: huge assholes to each other, and taking them to the
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: chicken doctor isn't going to make them any nicer. Also,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I hope that glue was vegan. They checked that, right?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: But in the latest season of the most annoying people
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on the internet, we have activists displaying their fetish for
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: pacing themselves to shit in public. You have people gluing
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: themselves to expensive cars, or there are people who are
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: more direct and like gluing themselves to the road. And
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: for some reason, they keep getting rescued from this self-inflicted problem.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they're setting the Trader Joe's guy free,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: just leave him there. That arm's going to get super
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable from being in that position after about 30 minutes.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: In fact, let's try a little social experiment. Let's see
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: how long it takes for this guy to get hungry
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: enough to try raw chicken. Because the implication of their
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: protest is like, tearing you to not feel sorry for
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: them when they do retarded stuff. Or they're threatening you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: with being annoying if you don't unstick them. But if
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you want this to stop, then the answer is to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: call their bluff. I mean, if you've been on Twitter
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: for any amount of time, then you know the second
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that people stop putting up with their bullshit, the activists
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: cave almost instantly. Here's one of my favorite moments from
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: some people who think it's a good idea to block
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the road. This has all the self-awareness of someone sucker-punching
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you in the face, followed by them crying when you
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: strike back. You're not being peaceful. You're trying to force
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: people into your ideology by being a public nuisance. So
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: don't be shocked when those who are unhappy with your
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: bullying tactics try to move you out of the way.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: The funny thing here is that it looks like this
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: sign says private jets, So they're protesting fossil fuels as
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: they force this whole line of people to sit there,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: probably with their cars running if it's hot outside, for
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: God knows how long. The environmentalist groups aren't sending their best.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Women did not get to vote by voting.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I guess men voted for them to have the right
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to vote, so you're welcome?
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: It is time for deeds.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And not words.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: It is time to just stop oil.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Do these people realize how many will die if the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: world stopped using oil tomorrow? Our whole economy is based
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: on oil. The great thing is that when these activists
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: spread their luxury beliefs, it's the poor, who they pretend
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to advocate for, that suffer the most. But I think
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: people are missing some context here for why the activists
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: protest like this. Now, I know a lot of you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: are going to say it's because they're mentally ill, and yes,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that is a part of it. Mentally ill people are
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: those who refuse to accept reality on reality's terms, which
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: is why they can be so easily tricked into believing
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: numerous falsehoods, and why they are too blind to see
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: how the way they protest is actually hurting their cause.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So that's part one. The second part of this is
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that people in general have the psychological need to feel
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: like they've contributed to their respective communities, but these people
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: don't know how to do that usefully because they're too
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: lazy and too incompetent from an educational standpoint to research
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and fact-check stuff, despite having college degrees, so they'll just
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: shit everywhere and say, look, I'm helping, as they piss
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: off everyone who has to clean up after them. And last,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but certainly not least, because I read, I know that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the activists are primarily following the tactics of an old
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: book called Rules for Radicals, Now, there's a lot of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: stuff in this book, but when it comes to protesting,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the basic strategy is to go into a high-trust society
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and do whatever you can to violate the cultural norms,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: or just in general, be as much of a pain
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in the ass as possible as a form of protest.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It's basically the political version of what those nuisance streamers
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: are doing in Japan to get attention. The hope is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that the people in the high-trust society will put up
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with bullying tactics out of politeness and concede to the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: demands of the activists. And this was probably a very
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: effective tactic before Elon bought Twitter, and when it was
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: much easier to lie to everyone to manage the bad
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: PR that's a result of this type of protesting. But
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: now that we're in the post-Elon buying Twitter times, the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: correct answer is to just make an example of these people,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and try to make them suffer ten times more than
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: they're trying to make you suffer, because then they'll stop
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: doing it. They only do this stuff because people aren't
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: fighting back, and by the way, just to be clear,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: They have to protest like this because nobody agrees with them.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: They are completely tone deaf to how many people on
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: their own political side don't like them.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not even a Republican, but every time someone on
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the left opens their mouth right now, like, I am
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: this close. I am this close to becoming a Republican.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: When I hear the words, no human is illegal coming
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: from a group of people that more than likely own
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: fucking passports, like, I'm this close to putting a MAGA
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: hat in my cart. I have very leftist views, okay?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I don't like guns. I believe in trans rights. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: believe that if you're a consenting adult, you can do
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want to with your body. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: when you start replacing words like mother with birth giver,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and you see people like Gavin Newsom calling his own
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: wife the first partner of California, like I can feel
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: my soul applying for an NRA membership. Don't even get
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: me started on 4th of July. Oh my God. Every
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: time that a leftist says that they're not celebrating 4th
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of July or that 4th of July is canceled, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: promise you, another piece of American flag clothing gets put
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in my cart. I mean, maybe at this point I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: should thank you for reviving my patriotism, because every time
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you open your mouth, I become more and more of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a patriot for this country.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: She's wearing the woke uniform and she's like, nah, these
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: guys are too woke for me. I'm out. I'm going
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to go cleanse myself with an AR-15 and an American flag.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't blame her. For one, deporting illegals
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and border security has always been something that both parties
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: agree on. The recent political disagreement on this is artificial.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I'm old enough to remember when amnesty for illegals was
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a very unpopular right-wing grift from George Bush Jr. But also,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it's got to be frustrating as a liberal to watch
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the most bad-faith influencers represent your values.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Hey guys, we're going to talk about ICE.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Right now, ICE agents are violently detaining.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Searching, and arresting our neighbors at alarming rates.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing none of these liars think you'll actually Google
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the names.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Linda Davis was not a victim of ICE. She was
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: killed by an illegal alien who was fleeing from officers
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that were trying to detain him. Yet another death of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: an American that could have been prevented by better border security.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Keith Porter Jr. was some retard who was firing a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: rifle into the air of a populated area, which can
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: kill people, by the way, when the bullets come back down,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and allegedly he was unalived as he pointed his rifle
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: at an off-duty ICE officer who I guess was a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: better shot. Isaiah Sanchez Barbosa was a part of an
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: illegal alien caravan and was shot as he was resisting
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: border enforcement. Look how PBS reports this. A Mexican citizen.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Everything to hide the fact that he was crossing the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: border illegally. They just lie constantly. Nothing these people say
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: is true. Silverio Gonzalez was an alcoholic, illegal alien who
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: was likely driving under the influence of cocaine, and was
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: shot in retaliation as he drove his car into a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: cop who was trying to arrest him. You've got to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: be fucking kidding me. He had no criminal history. Two
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: paragraphs ago, you said he was driving under the influence,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: or heavily implied it, and you said he had signs
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: of alcoholism and a history of reckless driving. So he
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: probably was regularly driving under the influence. And that's not all.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: It says here that he had just dropped his kids
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: off minutes before the stop. So you mean to tell
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: me that he got caught with like a crack pipe?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm guessing it's something like that, considering that
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: they were vague about what drug-related items he had on him.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So he has hard drugs in his system and gets
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: caught with drug paraphernalia, minutes after he dropped his kids
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: off at school. Father of the year, right? I can't
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: imagine why anyone would want him deported. Now, believe it
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: or not, it gets worse. In the article, there's an
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: anchor baby congresswoman defending Saverio's actions named Delia Ramirez, who
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: said last year in Spanish that she's a Guatemalan before
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: she's an American. Saying shit like that should get you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: thrown out of Congress. That's treason. Can you see why
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: my demeanor against these people has gone from more neutral
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in the past to now more hostile? Finding out the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: amount that they knowingly lie when you research their claims
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: will make you hate them. To be clear, I'm not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: talking about people like Schewinehead who tries to accurately report
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the news from a left-leaning standpoint. When I talk about
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: people like Noah Sampson or Nicole Raffi, I'm saying that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: their research is so negligent that I can only assume
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that they're knowingly spreading disinformation for money and social media clout.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: People on the left should consider influencers like this to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: be traitors who are selling out the reputation and trust
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in their party for personal gain. And as for the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: names that were said that I didn't address, maybe don't
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: try to obstruct an arrest and maybe don't resist being
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: detained with your vehicle while an officer is standing in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: front of it. Death by cop would drop to almost
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: zero if people just stopped resisting arrest and dealt with
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: potential illegal police activity in courts. The amount of lies
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: that these people tell is ridiculous, and when they get
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: caught being malicious or doing outright evil, they'll try to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: prey on people's sympathy to get out of it. This
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is why Twitter users are posting free room memes to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: describe them. It's a pretty accurate metaphor, because you'll have, like,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a woman try to trip a cop while he's running
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: at full speed in pursuit, which could have injured him
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: pretty badly if he didn't dodge it. But when they
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: go to arrest her for assault, she says, Help, I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a victim!
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I'm a victim!
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Put your head behind my back!
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Help me!
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Fortunately, someone caught it on camera. But the more we
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: make an example out of people who are being abusive
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and the more we set the record straight when they
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: try to lie, the less we'll have to put up
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: with this category of person in the future. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't even call them liberals. Actual liberals probably hate
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: these people because they make them look bad. These people
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: can't even be honest about their own base desires, so
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: they have to do all these crazy mental gymnastics to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: justify their life circumstances.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I know that there's a new movement going around in, like,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the body acceptance movement. sphere that is called fatigories and
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: what it describes is the different levels of privilege you
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: have based on how fat you are and so there's
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: things like small fat mid-fat super fat and death fat can.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: You tell me what category of fat i fit in?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: So it's based on your shirt size. So if you
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: are a 1 or 2X, you are small fat. 3
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to 4X, you are mid-fat. 5 to 6X, you are
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: super fat. So someone in a small fat category may
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: not struggle getting on an airplane. But someone in a
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: mid-fat or super fat may not be able to use
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: even the airplane extender. So that's where that comes in
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and like the privilege levels of like what fat means
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to different people.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Didn't Ozempic get rid of these people? I thought this
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: was out of meta. The funny thing though is that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: these are the same people who will talk about how
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: we have to get rid of oppressive hierarchies brought on
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: by capitalism. But biologically speaking, humans have an inherent desire
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to try to rank high on some sort of hierarchy.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So in the very next argument, to satisfy their need
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: for status, They'll create their own system where being the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: most useless person puts you at the top. You see,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: this person is a super fat, therefore they have the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: most points on the oppression hierarchy.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You said privilege, right?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Like, so if somebody is less fat, then them being
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: able to get onto an airplane is a privilege?
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Or.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Then they'll follow these types of arguments up with a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: classy platitude about how they don't like racism or sexism,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: while also telling you about how you have to vote
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: for someone because they're black or a woman. like this
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: movie trailer does.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Who are you guys voting for?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Obama. Hillary.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: She'd be the first woman president.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: He'd be the first black president.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: The real question, though, is how do we avoid being
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: this cringe? How do we prevent people from being like
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: this outside of letting deserving individuals find out? Well, I
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: think we can, in part, begin by understanding where these
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: people are coming from and their psychology, because as much
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: as they want to pretend that they're nonconformist and not
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: like everybody else and they can go against human biology...
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: What's actually going on here is that they're acting out
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: because they have human needs that aren't being met in
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: their regular lives. So to get those needs met, they
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: go to these counterproductive protests and act out in these
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: ways because people don't value them or pay attention. They
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: end up finding value by teaming up with other undesirables,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and they get people to pay attention to them by
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: screaming or blocking roads. Also, understand that people like this
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: don't make changes to become likable because they have all
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: sorts of limiting beliefs where they think they can change
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: things merely by wishing they were different.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I also wanted to make a point of the very
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: first thing that was said over here during this prompt
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: is that people that do not go to the gym
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: or have like a healthy lifestyle are lazy. So, so
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: far from beyond what I actually live. I work a lot.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I put a lot of time and energy into the
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: career that I have. And to think that someone can
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: take a look at me from across the room and
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: say she's lazy because of the way that I look
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: is so... sad. I'm mad at that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Remember how I said that mental illness is about not
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: being able to deal with reality on reality's terms? The
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: reality is that people do assume that you're lazy, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to an extent they're right because you're an addict. A
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: part of being a hard worker is a willingness to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: spend time learning new information and a willingness to change,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and being super obese is evidence that you aren't doing
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that in a very crucial area. Personally, I don't consider
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: anyone to be a hard worker until they've maxed out
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: their day to be so full of work that they
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: have to dedicate time to looking for faster ways to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: do things, just so they can have healthy work hours.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it sure as hell is hard work to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: dig a deep hole with a spoon instead of a shovel,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: but digging that hole with a spoon doesn't make you
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: a hard worker, it makes you an idiot. And there
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: are a lot of people out there shoveling with spoons,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: overworking themselves, and sacrificing time with their family and friends
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: because they don't want to watch a few-minute workflow video
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: on YouTube. The point I'm making here is that the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: reason that these people become annoying is because no one
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: wants to deal with them in their personal lives. and
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I think that's due to not knowing a lot of
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: useful information. One of the biggest reasons that people do
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: messed up things or evil stuff is because they're useless
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: to those around them, which makes them a burden, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: doing bad things is the only way they can get ahead.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So if you want to reduce the number of people
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: who are like this, then outside of making the appropriate
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: people find out when it's deserved... The answer is to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: empower yourself with such good information through hard work, discipline,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and research, so that for one, you've taken care of yourself,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and so that two, your presence alone will inspire other
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: people to make themselves better. I mean, also have a family,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: sit together, and treat your kids well, that'll help. However,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: if being outstanding by itself doesn't automatically inspire people... then
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: at least you'll have incredibly specific and effective advice so
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that when the time does come, you can enlighten people
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and snap them out of their shitty ideals by getting
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: them to believe that they can make their lives better. Really,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: people just need to believe that they can make their
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: situation better and then you won't have to say that
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: much because they'll do all the investigation themselves to the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: extent that their focus becomes self-improvement and giving back to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: others instead of focusing on some dumb protest at Trader Joe's. Anyway,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: thanks for watching, follow me on Twitter, and I'll see
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you in the next video.
