	Hey everyone, I assume you can hear me.
	And how's everyone doing?
	This is going to be just a bit of a bullshit live stream that will not have any goddamn social justice, do not fear.
	Honestly, I just wanted to, I've got a lot of information that isn't really video worthy.
	No, not video worthy, but it doesn't make a good video.
	It's not catchy.
	It's not sort of sparkly.
	It's not funny.
	It's just some shit that I really, really would like you guys to know.
	Because there are some fucking morons behind the scenes of all this.
	And I just want you to hear some of the shit they say.
	These people are fucking crazy, right?
	And this is going to be a thoroughly unprofessional live stream.
	So yeah, we'll just have to grin and bear it together.
	Right.
	So I found this, there's this article that the soft just dipshits have been passing around on a site called First Person Scholar.
	Doesn't that sound important?
	i'll do a screen share here all right okay yeah you guys should be able to see that now So it's written by someone called Catherine Cross.
	And it's called, We Will Force Gaming to be Free.
	And it's just like, I love the idea of forcing freedom on something.
	That's exactly how freedom works.
	You have to force people to be free.
	You can't leave them alone to let them be free because they might do something that you don't like.
	But it starts with a quote: the end justifies the means, which is not true.
	But what if there's never an end?
	All we have is means.
	And it's like, okay, that's great, Catherine, because presumably what you're doing is looking at the means you guys are taking and thinking, hang on, we are actually being really bigoted pieces of shit to everyone, aren't we?
	And so, yeah, but all we have is the means.
	It's like, so does that mean that all we are a bigoted piece of shit?
	Yes, actually, that is exactly what that means.
	But anyway, that's not really what I wanted to get into.
	So it goes on about a lot of bullshit.
	And just, it goes on and on and on.
	And I'll probably do a video on this article.
	So I won't go into it too deeply.
	But I'll post a link on Twitter for people to read.
	because it's just some spectacular shit.
	I've never heard anything like it.
	I've never...
	I can't believe that these people take this stance.
	But then I thought, okay, well, who the fuck, Catherine Cross?
	I mean, she's citing Anita Sarkisian and Zoe Quinn and some other people.
	I don't know who they are, but they're probably important.
	She tags it with Digra, Gamergate, Mass Effect 3.
	Yeah, she's a twat.
	Just as a quick side note on Digra, I've got one more video coming up on Digra, and it'll be the last because Digra have chosen a side, and it's not our side.
	They've rendered themselves highly irrelevant, and I would say totally suspect.
	There's absolutely no getting around it.
	I will take some questions and stuff.
	I just want to go through a few things first because these things have been on my mind.
	i don't know these things just i people just don't seem to know what these fuckers are doing And I've had a lot of people going, oh, Gamergate is not about feminism.
	And I agree.
	It's not about feminism.
	But the thing is, feminism, academic feminism, really is a root cause of what's happening here.
	So I think if people sort of understood what these people were trying to do to your games, then you might understand a bit exactly why this has happened, you know?
	So, yeah.
	Sorry, I'm just going to be thoroughly unprofessional and skimmed through it to the bits.
	have marked them beforehand, but I'm not a pro.
	Right, so a careful examination of GamerGape reveals an anarchic social movement that is now fully given over to paranoid purge logic, purest orthodoxy, deep suspicions of outsiders and institutions, and above all a willingness to believe that the ends will justify the means.
	I don't even know where to start criticizing that.
	That is just so wholly backwards that I don't even know what to say.
	But anyway, Catherine Cross, right?
	Catherine Cross is some transgender nuclear unicorn, according to her website, where she's the sort of person who thinks that meaningless prattle is charming in all cases.
	And I want to point out, Catherine, that meaningless prattle is only charming when it's charming, meaningless prattle.
	But she does keep telling us that she's a woman, which is good because otherwise I might not be sure.
	But she's a writer, a feminist, a PhD candidate, a tadpole sociologist, and co-creator of The Border House.
	She's also written for Kotaku and she writes for Feministing.
	That'll be Jessica Valenti's blog, where she goes on about how much she hates men.
	But, you know, the ends justify the means.
	They totally justify those means.
	And this is Catherine.
	She's full of shit.
	But the thing is, I've put the shits up.
	You know what, too?
	That anti-Daigra person who started this said they wanted us to be afraid in our sleep.
	Well, that's already happened.
	Do you know why, Catherine?
	Because you're a fucking pussy.
	Man the fuck up.
	Jesus Christ.
	I want you to understand that I just want everyone to know the character of you people because you are really acting like fucking bad people and it pissed me off.
	So yeah, there's her.
	And then you've got Samantha Allen's open letter to Games Media.
	Now, Samantha Allen is a corker because I'll tweet this as well so you guys can read it.
	I'll take the chat as well because you'll probably all tell me to shut the fuck up or something.
	Right, okay.
	No, you're all like, yeah, these people are dip shits.
	Honestly, just read through Catherine Cross's meaningless prattle.
	These people are not, they're not fucking funny.
	They're not charming.
	They're not even good people, you know.
	Yeah, Samantha Allen, right?
	So, sorry, I've just got too many fucking tabs open.
	Yeah, so basically, she predicted Gamergate about a year before it happened because this shit's been in the works for a long time now, right?
	This is an open letter to Steve Butts, IGN, Stephen Totillo, Kotaku, Justin Calvert, GameSpot, Chris Brant, Polygon, Dale North, Destructoid, some German guy from Joystick, and all the other editors-in-chief at gaming websites, but presumably not editors at large, right?
	We have a problem, and you can do something about it.
	Hang on, Samantha Cross.
	Samantha Allen, why would I give a fuck that you have a problem?
	Right, I don't care that you have a problem.
	I don't care that all of this shit, you have power and authority and you're more power and authority than you're letting on, and you're simply choosing not to exercise it.
	I think Gamergate has shown that they really don't have the power and authority that you thought they had, you moron.
	But publish a highly visible reference statement.
	Explain your site's stunts on sexism, racism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia.
	Why would a video game website do that?
	Why would they care?
	It's such a niche thing.
	So few people give a fuck Stockholm.
	And somehow they've managed to fucking co-op the whole damn thing.
	But, you know, she's calling for sense.
	More people to moderate your forums and comment sections.
	And then she goes on about how, no, comments, comments against the status quo, as it were, they're bad.
	And you shouldn't have them.
	Take the risk.
	Well, that's worked out well for all involved, I'm sure.
	Neutrality means the status quo forever.
	Yeah, that's how we liked it.
	That's how I liked it.
	You know, just fucking be neutral.
	The status quo was okay.
	It was doing well.
	Video game industry rocketed up.
	More successful than the film industry.
	Oh, now it needs to change.
	Why?
	You're on to a good thing, clearly.
	So, anyway, basically, Samantha Allen predicts GameGate.
	So who the fuck, Samantha Allen?
	Well, Samantha Allen hates men.
	She literally hates men.
	I mean, she says, I'm a misandrist.
	That means I hate men.
	I'm not a cute misandrist.
	I don't have a fridge magnet that says boys are stupid, throw rocks at them.
	My loathing cannot be contained by a fridge magnet.
	I'm not an equality feminist.
	I don't believe in an asymmetrical world.
	I don't believe that an asymmetrical world can be cured by polite obsequence to male-dominated systems.
	I'm not a liberal humanist.
	I don't believe I need to stand up for men when they've been standing on top of anyone else.
	You fucking shitlords.
	Who have you been standing on?
	Why have you been standing on people?
	Is it your female slaves that you've been standing on?
	You bunch of you motherfuckers.
	You should all go and hang yourselves.
	Misandry is not a political program.
	It's a stance.
	Yes, it's an incredibly bigoted stance.
	I don't care whether hating men is a good or bad feminist strategy.
	And I care even less what men think about misandry.
	Well, why would they?
	They would just know you for what you are, surely.
	I don't think I have a responsibility to change the world.
	I think I have a responsibility to survive.
	Oh, you're in a first world country.
	How difficult is that really?
	You're a feminist blogger.
	It's not like you're in.
	Oh, good God.
	But anyway, right.
	Imagine born into a world where your experiences are not represented.
	I probably in that world right now, I don't feel particularly represented, especially in the video games media.
	But I am white, cisgendered, and heterosexual.
	So what can you expect?
	Where your work is undervalued.
	Yeah, your work.
	Yeah.
	Where your body is always open for comment.
	People have opinions.
	Fuck, that's awful.
	That's just, I feel, I can see why this person hates men now.
	Because it's definitely men who are always making comments about her body and definitely not bitchy women.
	Where your friends are routinely harassed and abused.
	Contact the authorities.
	We have laws.
	You dip shit.
	And where this situation will literally be your reality for your entire life.
	Oh, good God.
	Really?
	But anyway, she hates men.
	So that's good to know.
	And she hates men so much that she decided to become a woman.
	That's right.
	She did a fucking Indiegogo campaign to raise $8,000 to help craft a vagina.
	I was born without a vagina.
	I'd like to fix that.
	So she hates herself until she had this operation.
	And now she presumably just carries on hating men.
	And it's just like these people are like, they don't seem to see how they come across.
	I don't care if someone's like, right, I'm born in the wrong body.
	Now, now I need to get that shit sorted.
	I really don't care.
	That's good for you.
	You know, I hope it all works out for you.
	But when you're out attacking someone else's hobbies for your own fucking gain, which is what all of these people are doing, I draw the fucking line.
	You can fuck yourself and fuck off.
	You know?
	And then this Jen Jensen person, who apparently is some kind of advisor to Anisarke, but I haven't really looked into her.
	She's a professor of pedagogy and technology.
	Pedagogy is stern teaching, stern, unforgiving teaching.
	So, I mean, how can one become a professor of pedagogy?
	You know, how is that something that exists?
	But anyway, apparently it does.
	And, you know, so she's she holds a partnership development grant that's attempting to intervene and support women and girls in the game industry called Feminist in Games, which, oh, let's take a look.
	It's got to be good, isn't it?
	Oh, what?
	The website's down.
	I wonder if the Wayback Machine can help us there, cause I really want to see this, really.
	That's interesting, isn't it?
	Doesn't have an archive.
	But that's the thing.
	These people are going out of their way, doing everything they can to get feminism into games.
	And honestly, I think academic feminism is the source of social justice.
	I think it's where it's all coming from.
	Another thing that I don't, they're video links, so I'd have to go dig them up.
	But one of the things I'd like you to listen out for is culture.
	The word culture.
	Anis Sarkeesian in her XOXO talk was going, you know, went on about culture.
	And since I brought up Anisarkeesian, I want to clarify something, right?
	I don't care that she's taken money from these idiots.
	I really don't.
	I just want everyone else to know what she's about.
	You know, everyone's like, oh my God, you're such a hypocrite.
	You've got a Patreon.
	I said, yes, I do.
	But I don't think that I'm actually a con artist.
	And I don't think I'm actually scamming people out of money.
	You know?
	And if I am, fucking tell me so I can do some actual work.
	You know, this is the thing.
	I'm pretty sure I do genuinely do the work that I'm being donated money to do.
	But yeah, Anisakesian, I don't care that she, I don't care that she scams these people.
	These people are fucking idiots and they deserve to be scammed, frankly.
	They deserve everything they get for being a bunch of moronic cultists.
	But it's people outside of their little cult that I want to know what Anita Sarkeesian is like.
	Because she's a very, very successful teleseminar marketer.
	She's been wildly successful.
	She got six figures.
	She didn't quite make it to the seven figures, but I don't know how much she gets per teleseminar that she does.
	So who knows?
	You know, who knows?
	But I would be very interested in knowing that.
	I mean, she obviously gets paid from her non-profit organization.
	So I would be very interested to know how much she makes from her non-profit organization because I'm not.
	I'm guessing it's but one of my favorite things about that XLXO fest that she did was the way that she looked absolutely like a deer in the headlights.
	Just, holy shit, these people are serious.
	I'm Anita Sarkeesian, and apparently you all know who I am.
	And it's like, yes, Anita, of course they are.
	They're fundamentalists.
	You know, they know everything about you, or everything that is part of the popular narrative about you, anyway.
	And throughout the whole thing, the where's my army?
	And they cheer, and she must have just been like, No, you idiots, you're meant to laugh.
	You're not meant to cheer, you're meant to laugh because cheering makes it look like you're my army.
	But um, yeah, so she's she looks like she's the star of some sort of hilarious sitcom where you know, a con artist with a heart of gold thinks, right?
	I need to make a few bucks, probably for her sick mother or something like that.
	So she goes to this teleseminar, finds a cause, and then goes and starts preaching this cause, and unwittingly becomes the leader of a fucking cult.
	And now she's kind of trapped in there and doesn't know how to leave.
	I'm sure it's not actually like that, but good god, it looks like that from the outside.
	Uh, so yeah, but one of the things she was saying, how they've started this kind of train of thought that they all seem to have latched onto.
	That this is some kind of new culture that's coming in to supplant the old, which is a decidedly imperialistic mindset.
	So I can't believe that they say they're anti-colonial because colonizing gaming is exactly what they've done.
	So, good job, you fucking hypocrites.
	Now, if you watch a few of those other XOXO fests, I'll send the link out.
	Um, let me just get that up.
	sorry guys.
	Yeah, watch a couple of the other videos, specifically one by Gio Trapani who I haven't looped into.
	So, she might be someone wildly important, but I think she's actually a bit of an idiot.
	I've just tweeted that.
	Um, but she goes on, she goes on about the same sort of shit that Dipshit, uh, sorry, Lipschitz, um, went on about with his, when I when I'm playing a game or doing whatever I'm doing, I know that I'm dying.
	And it's like, then maybe you should see a doctor, Mr. Millionaire's son, for fuck's sake.
	You're not, and they, this is something they keep going on about.
	Oh, I'm dying, I've got such little time on earth.
	And it's like, look, do you guys know something about some sort of impending disaster the rest of us don't know?
	Because you're all in your 20s, you've probably got about another 60 years left, you're not actually dying for this.
	This is literally this is something I've seen a bunch of times, and they really seem to have this kind of fatalist sort of mindset together, and it drives me crazy because there's no justification for it other than they've got some stupid philosophical academic bullshit.
	Um, but either way, it's it's yeah, it's it's bullshit.
	I can't, I can't, I can't get over how much shit these people are full of.
	I just can't.
	So, um, I should have had some more together.
	But if you guys have got any questions, I'd love to, I'd love to answer some because there are probably things you guys want to know that I haven't covered.
	So, I'll um I'll wait for the chat to catch up and and proceed to kill myself with a cigarette.
	Randy Steele, I don't know, Alex, Alex Lipschitz probably has got like terminal anal cancer or something.
	Um, do you know, he's got terminal sexual transmitted diseases, hasn't he?
	Obviously, who's he dating?
	Seriously, Alex Lipschitz, if you ever happen to hear this, can you not do better than Zoe Quinn?
	Honestly, I mean, oh, yeah, actually, before I mean, yeah, if you guys have got any questions, then I'm happy to hear it.
	But I tell you, I want to talk about Jonathan McIntosh.
	Me, Jonathan Macintosh.
	This, I, I, I've never seen a white guy who hates himself more than Jonathan McIntosh.
	Let's uh, let's let's have a quick look at his Twitter radical bugs.
	That's the dude.
	This guy's good, right?
	So, I mean, he's retweeted this: a social justice warrior, someone who cares more about people than video games.
	Hang on, Jonathan, can I ask you a question?
	Are white men people?
	Are they people?
	Because I think they might be, and you know, being people that kind of means that surely you should care more about them than you do their video games.
	But no, he doesn't, he doesn't at all.
	And uh, Unbreakable said, Can he do better than Zoe Quinn?
	Nope.
	Well, come on, he's he's a millionaire.
	How can he not do better than Zoe Quinn?
	I mean, you know, he could just get himself into his BMW and then pimp himself out around the beach in San Francisco or wherever it is he lives.
	I mean, he, how are these people incompetent when it comes to women?
	I don't understand it.
	If I had loads of money, Jesus.
	Uh, yeah, Jonathan McIntosh is um, yeah, the con artist who works with Anita, but I don't know.
	I think he's right.
	I don't know if Jonathan McIntosh is a con artist because I think that he's the real deal, died in the wall psychopathic ideologue.
	Because I've heard, although I've never really looked into him, he's always been kind of a peripheral figure because everyone else was saying bigger and stupider things.
	Uh, I don't have an opinion on Windows 10, to be honest.
	I stopped liking Windows after Windows 95 and now I just live with it.
	Like Alex Lifshitz with Zoe Quinn.
	Yeah, but there are plenty of easy girls who don't look like Zoe Quinn.
	But sorry, um, forgot where it was.
	Yeah, Jonathan McIntosh, right?
	He's he very much seems like some uh, like you know, Emperor Palpatine sort of figure in the background.
	Um, and he's he's done a lot of stupid shit, and it's all but it all seems to be low-level shit.
	But I'm sure that he's I've heard it said that he's the puppet behind Anit Sarkeesian, and after looking at Anit Sarkeesian's early work, that's just a cigarette, unfortunately.
	Um, she's really not she and she's she's probably now she would probably consider herself a feminist, you know, and she may well have done before, but that was never never.
	I am fucking old.
	That's that's never been like you know, that didn't seem to be what she was going after in the beginning.
	You know, that seemed to be um she seems to be wanting to make money.
	Um, and I've heard the tale that she did all this thing, then she met Jonathan McIntosh, and then suddenly she goes psycho-feminist.
	And but the thing is, if you look at Anise Sarkeesian's feminism, it's really bland, it's really simplistic, it's very easy to access, which is probably one of the reasons for, um, but it's not very in-depth, and it's it's very Puritan.
	And she's heavily criticized by the sex positive feminists, you know, who go on about it.
	But they never really criticize her all that harshly because, you know, she's part of the group and if they can't go after her too much.
	And so I don't know what Jonathan McIntosh's connection to her is exactly, but I'm sure that he's her boyfriend.
	Yeah, I'm fucking ancient.
	And I started doing this shit when I was young.
	So.
	But Jonathan McIntosh taught some shit.
	So, social justice warriors do not care about people.
	Because when you talk about people, you have to talk about individuals.
	And Jonathan McIntosh clearly doesn't give a fuck about individuals.
	None of them do.
	None of them do at all, unless they're individuals within their own movement.
	But everyone else outside of the movement is a shitlord.
	But yeah, so Anne, let me just get to a couple of his more just retarded tweets.
	Yeah, Seren, I think you're right.
	She did basic feminist research, probably informed by this Macintosh guy, but she never really goes like full retard with it.
	Oh, yeah, social justice cleric, social justice ranger.
	That's really cute.
	When have you guys ever played DD?
	You probably haven't, because no one wants to be the social justice rogue.
	Oh, handsome.
	Look at him.
	Stallion of a man.
	But he is remarkably white, and I think he's probably cisgendered and straight.
	So I can see why he'd hate himself.
	Here we go.
	Patriarchal violence is a mental illness.
	That's great, Jonathan.
	That's great.
	Can you show me some violence that is patriarchal?
	I mean, there was a thing in the Daily Mail of all things where a gaggle of college women, you know, 20-something women, were attacking a homeless guy and trying to pull his clothes off and stuff.
	This homeless guy was too out of it to really fight back.
	And is that patriarchal violence?
	I mean, it looked like a mental illness that these women were operating under, but I mean, I don't know if that violence was patriarchal.
	It kind of seemed a bit matriarchal, Jonathan.
	But that's fine, isn't it?
	I imagine that's fine.
	But rather than seeing the violence men do as an expression of power, we need to call it by its true name.
	Pathology.
	Bell Hooks.
	I wonder who Belle Hooks is.
	Let me just have a quick Google for Belle Hooks because I bet this is some psychotic feminist.
	Oh, here we go.
	This will be good.
	An American author, feminist, and social activist.
	Great.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Writing focused on the interconnectivity of race, capitalism, and gender.
	And what she describes as their ability to produce and perpetuate systems of oppression and class domination.
	Oh, God.
	That's social justice DD sounds fucking abysmal, doesn't it?
	So, yeah, and you guys have got me into my internet craps out as well.
	So, obviously, she began teaching because if you're full of crazy, batshit, insane ideas, you may as well preach them to other people.
	Why do these people have jobs in academia?
	Oh, brilliant.
	You know, influences.
	American abolitionists and feminists to join the truth.
	Don't get me wrong.
	I'm with the abolitionist movement.
	And just other people I don't really know for myself.
	Noting the lack of diverse voices in popular feminist theory, Bell Hooks published this work in 1984.
	Hmm.
	What a surprise.
	In feminist theory from margin to center, she explains that the voices have been marginalized.
	Oh, God, I just.
	It's like they don't understand that voices with something intelligent and informative to say are never marginalized.
	You know, you can't marginalize someone who's speaking something normal or sensible because people want to hear it.
	It's like trying to exclude people from a consumer marketplace.
	Oh, women are excluded from gaming.
	How are they doing that?
	Why would they be doing that?
	Are you suggesting that Steam asks you to register your age, your race, your sex?
	And then they say, well, I'm sorry, you wanted to buy Half-Life 3, but I'm afraid you're not allowed because that's a first-person shooter and you're female and you're black.
	And in fact, we're closing your Steam account immediately.
	How does this work?
	What is their method for which these people are kept out of these things?
	So, yeah, these people are full of shit and they're idiots.
	That's the thing.
	They're idiots.
	They don't.
	And this is something they do, right?
	This is something they do.
	And I was having, I was talking to Eric Kane the other day, and good for him for coming on to, I think it was King of Holstream.
	Because he's been savaged by the SJWs because he's not a fundamentalist, even though I think he probably leans in that direction, which is fine.
	As long as he's not a fundamentalist, that's fine.
	But he did the thing that they all do.
	And what they do is they simplify everything.
	They absolutely simplify everything.
	They're on a quest to remove nuance from the world.
	So they'll say one thing and then they'll remove it to a more simplistic layer, like a layer up rather than down, to find out the real truth of what's happened.
	And they'll say, I don't have an example off the top of my head.
	So, you know, a guy criticizes a woman and they say, right, this man hates women.
	And it's like, no, that's a bad example, actually.
	But they go out of the way to simplify things, to break things down into little soundbites that, you know, just look out for it.
	You'll see it.
	You'll absolutely see it.
	And that's what all of these people do.
	Oh, a good list of serious ethical concerns about the game industry via Leia Alexander.
	Now, Leia Alexander is another interesting one because she seems to be a bit of a fountainhead for a lot of bullshit, but I can't believe that she is that intelligent, to be honest.
	Actually, no, that's not true.
	She doesn't seem stupid.
	She just seems malicious.
	But, right, okay, let's see Leia Alexander's list.
	Video games are covertly used to advance the political agendas of arms manufacturers.
	What?
	Well, I mean, they probably have been in some way.
	I mean, I imagine Call of Duty or something.
	Yeah, okay, yeah.
	Because the people making video games wanted realistic things, right?
	Okay, that's fine.
	That's probably true.
	You know, there's probably some truth to that.
	But this is the thing, right?
	It's a consumer marketplace.
	You know, and this is another thing, right?
	Being an arms manufacturer is a really real double-edged sword, right?
	Because if we didn't have arms manufacturers, who's stopping the Russians or whoever is the bad guy of the week in the political spectrum from rolling in and taking over?
	Well, nobody.
	So we've got to manufacture arms, but that means we've got to sell these arms because otherwise we can't have an arms industry, which means that you've got countries where it's perfectly legitimate to own these guns.
	I mean, Britain isn't one of them, but that doesn't mean there are countries where it's not a completely legal thing to do.
	So you can sit there and complain about it.
	I'm more concerned about covertly trying to co-opt the culture of gaming, you know, colonizing it, if you will, Lei.
	But see, she goes on about the arms industry.
	And, oh, YouTubers have continued to accept money for game reviews and stuff like that.
	It's like, okay, that's great.
	This is the best deflection I've ever seen.
	Actually, it's not a shit deflection, Leigh.
	I don't.
	Nobody cares.
	But, oh, yeah.
	Laurie Penny.
	Laurie fucking Penny.
	This was the woman who got absolutely owned by some 50, 60-year-old Oxford professor when she was trying to play the victim in a debate.
	And he was just like, no, no, no, no, no.
	You're full of shit.
	And I'll show you how you're full of shit.
	And then she basically just sat there and looked like a prick while the audience cheered for him.
	It was magical.
	I tweeted the link out a while ago.
	I'll find it again for you guys at some point.
	But listen, this is it.
	This is exactly what I'm talking about.
	There is a culture war happening right now.
	I'll tweet this link so you guys can read this yourselves.
	You know what I mean?
	I don't think that I'm hoarding shit or anything like that.
	You get a lot of dead air while I do that.
	Because I can't do two things at once.
	Actually, that's not true.
	masturbate and watch zoe quinn videos all day um yeah so there's a culture war happening right now And there is.
	That's exactly what this is.
	Monday Matt kind of called it a few weeks ago, and he was right.
	This is a fucking culture war.
	And they are absolutely, absolutely happy to codify it that way.
	So let's get on with this, right?
	Let's have a look at their culture.
	Is their culture good?
	And Adam Wallace, I think you're right.
	It's not that they're coping video games.
	They're copying Western culture and the culture of the oppressive straight white male.
	And that's true.
	And this is actually something that I really think might help is to start reaching out to other areas of modern life that are having problems with feminism infecting what they do and trying to just change it and make it inferior.
	And yeah, feminism is the current establishment.
	If you look at like the British political system, the Home Secretary and the Shadow Home Secretary are both feminists.
	And it's just like, oh yeah, feminists are really losing this war.
	How many MRAs are in government?
	And I just don't, you know, I'm not an MRA, but I just see them as like the counterpoint feminism.
	You know, if.
	But yeah, there are a lot of people who are really waking up to the idea that feminism is actually full of shit.
	Most notably, Emma Watson in her UN speech, where she was like, some people are conflating feminism with man-hating.
	I mean, it might be something to do with Samantha Allen saying, I hate men, and a lot of other, you know, Jessica Valenti's desire for spunk and all this sort of stuff.
	And it might well be.
	Oh, Silverstring, we've got a Silverstring later.
	But this is the point, right?
	I don't want to make Gamergate about feminism or anything like that, but you have to understand that feminism has caused Gamergate.
	Adrian Short is this psycho-feminist gender ideologue who is just giving academic legitimacy to the idea of ending gamers.
	And that has literally ended with a bunch of feminist bloggers telling everyone that gamers are over.
	And it's like, okay.
	All right.
	You know, let's just be clear about what's going on.
	You know what I mean?
	And frankly, I'm fighting for the patriarchy here.
	I'm going to do a video on matriarchies because every single fucking matriarchy that currently exists exists in mud huts.
	I'm not kidding.
	They exist in the fucking third world of mud huts.
	And they're like, yo, let's get a matriarchy.
	A matriarchy.
	A matriarchy is an awful way to do things just by evidence of how matriarchies exist at the moment and what they call patriarchies now.
	Patriarchy is clearly the superior way, which is why it's one.
	But anyway, there's a culture happening right now.
	It's happening in games, film, and in journalism, in television, and fiction and fandom.
	It's happening online everywhere and everywhere exists.
	And sorry, and everywhere, sexist, recreational, misogynists, and bigots are losing.
	I would like you guys to tell me which one of you are recreational misogynists.
	I mean, you don't commit to misogyny, but you do enjoy a bit of misogyny on the side because why not?
	It's good fun.
	But the thing is, apparently, the bigots are losing, which is ironic because you can call anyone a bigot if they have a predetermined position on something else.
	For example, these people who say that they hate men, that means they're bigots towards men.
	They're bigots towards sexists.
	They're bigots towards misogynists.
	These people are also bigots.
	So the pot calls the kettle black quite a lot, doesn't it, Lori Penny?
	That they're losing and they don't know why.
	And that's another thing.
	Look out for the projection.
	When they say something about you, ask yourself, is that actually something about them?
	And that's another point I wanted to bring up, in fact.
	I know this is a total fucking ramble, but there is loads of shit that I just want to go over because it's stuff that if people look out for it, suddenly everything becomes more clear.
	And I've completely forgotten my point now by justifying it.
	Projection, bigotry.
	Yeah, ask yourself, right?
	When they say something about you, ask yourself if that's not what they think about you.
	Because a lot of the time what they say comes from their own perspective and how they would respond in that situation.
	And yeah, I never stopped being my wife.
	Bitch needs to shut her mouth.
	But that's the thing.
	No self-awareness whatsoever.
	And so they say all of these things, and yet they don't seem to understand that Gamergate has hit new heights recently.
	You know, they're just far, far greater heights than it started with.
	And it's just like, and it's becoming a cultural norm now because they won't capitulate and they really need to.
	And so when they say something, just ask yourself, is the same thing true about the person saying it?
	Because one of the things that I've got this, I've got this professional troll on my channel called Octium 100, but she goes by various usernames because I guess she gets banned from a lot of places.
	And it's interesting.
	She's been with me for a long time since probably like the very beginning of my channel.
	And well, not quite that long, but a long time.
	And she, I'll put a video up and the guy, the guys who actually, you guys who watch me because you like my videos, you know, you vote and stuff.
	And then I'll get like this single down vote.
	And then a few seconds later, there'll be a comment on the video from her.
	And it'll be an inane, silly comment that it's laughable, which is why I don't ban that.
	It's like, look, you keep it up.
	You keep coming because you're quite hilarious.
	But the thing is, it's got to the point where it's familiarity breeds contempt.
	You know, I'm not worried, and I don't think she's worried.
	And now I just quite enjoy having her in there just to have someone to laugh at.
	And I was talking to the other day, and she was saying how, you know, I don't actually think you're lying with this statement.
	I can't remember what the statement was.
	And that just struck me as odd.
	It's like, hang on, hang on.
	How often do you think I lie to you?
	And she was like, I don't know.
	You tell me.
	And so I was just like, well, I never lied to you.
	I've got no need to lie to you.
	And yet, this seems to be a recurring thing because this is, I think, this is why they fundamentally can't help but strawman everyone.
	Absolutely everyone.
	I'll get good for her on.
	I'll find out.
	Actually, I'll send a message and see when he's free.
	I think he's probably at work at the moment.
	But this is the thing.
	They fundamentally, they always strawman.
	I mean, I knew I made it the other day because someone set up a Twitter account called Strawman of a CAD.
	And I was like, oh, brilliant.
	And so I looked at some of the tweets and each one of the tweets is a straw man of things that I've said.
	And I'm just there like thinking, okay, do they know that they're strawmanning me by doing this?
	I mean, I think that what they were intending to do was strawman like as if I was strawmanning other people.
	But I don't think they understand that they don't understand what I'm saying unless they're idiots or they're malicious.
	But I don't think that they think they are.
	I think they genuinely think they're doing the right thing.
	And this is basically one of the things I think is important that people, I think we need to start doing is treating them credulously.
	You know, if they think they probably believe what they say to us, you know, I think they believe every goddamn word that comes out of their mouths to a certain degree.
	And I know that I believe everything I say, otherwise I wouldn't fucking say it.
	But it's, but they are convinced that we are all liars.
	They seem to be absolutely convinced that we are absolute liars.
	And we do secretly agree with them that we think that they're right.
	It's that we hate women or gays or whoever, whoever, you know, we just hate people.
	And I can only just sit here and say, yeah, but you're the ones who are saying that we hate men, we hate straight people, we hate white people, we're full of hate, and we are justified in full of hate, in being full of hate.
	And so it's like, you guys need to understand that you fuckers are projecting or your hate onto other people.
	And you are assuming that because we're not saying hateful things back, we're saying we're concerned about the games, we're concerned about ethics, we're concerned about a lack of corruption, we're concerned about people with agendas forcing their agendas where they're not welcome or needed or just fuck yourselves.
	You know what I mean?
	They think that we're lying.
	They think that we're lying to continue to go on hating women or oppressing minorities, standing on top of other people, because I'm sure there are a lot of guys in this chat room.
	And you guys, look, I know that right now you are sat on a plush leather chair with your feet up on the back of some poor Negro.
	So just stop it.
	Let that Negro go.
	I mean, these people do seem like religious fundamentalists.
	Yeah, you believe in a God, but you're just angry at him.
	That's exactly the sort of thing.
	And so anyway, getting back to the culture thing.
	I've been thinking a lot about this week and what's changing culture about what women are doing and what's being done to us in revenge.
	Another thing is that they'll say women, but when they say women, you've got to read it as feminists or social justice warriors because everyone knows that there are plenty of women, plenty of gays, plenty of non-whites on the Gamergate side.
	I personally wouldn't go around making those distinctions if they didn't.
	So I just want to make that point clear.
	I don't give a fuck about someone's race, gender, whatever.
	I just don't care because I generally don't care about other people.
	Shit, they're right.
	But, you know, I don't care about people I don't know, really.
	I'm happy to leave them in peace if they're happy to leave me in peace.
	And so, but anyway, what women are doing and what's being done to us in revenge?
	Who here is taking revenge on women in gaming?
	Come on, which one of you?
	Put your hands up.
	It's all right.
	There's going to be no judgment.
	I just want to know so I can ban you.
	And actually, I wanted to talk about that thing because I copped a lot of flack for saying, look, right, if you contact these people like with me in the tweet or whatever, I've got to ban you, man, because I can't be shown by these people to not to neutral people saying that go towards them, you know, like this is, I want to incite some sort of cyber mob.
	And I know everyone's pissed off at me about it because they told me.
	And I would run, and I want you guys to know, right?
	It was a tactical move.
	I'd rather you guys be coming after me, being angry at me, than them.
	You know, I would much rather you guys be doing that because I can talk to you guys and explain my position.
	And you guys are reasonable.
	These guys are zealots.
	You know what I mean?
	If I'm going to piss someone off, who do I want to piss off?
	I can explain my position to you guys, and I'm pretty sure that you guys will listen.
	You know what I mean?
	But anyway, getting back to it.
	Stop oppressing women and stop taking revenge on them.
	I've been thinking about what happened to Jennifer Lawrence.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
	The Jennifer Lawrence thing, for fuck's sake.
	She's an attractive, famous woman.
	She puts naked pictures of herself on a public server, the cloud, or whatever the cloud is.
	You know, it's not secure.
	Shit's going to happen.
	You know, it's just the way that teenage boys work.
	And what's happened to a Neast Sarkeesian?
	Wow.
	And what's been happening to every games and culture writer with the goal to be female or to defend feminism?
	You see what I mean?
	This is about feminism to them.
	And they conflate being female with being a feminist, which is why Emma Watson was like, with her little judgy expression, some women are refusing to identify as feminists.
	Oh my God, Emma, how could they?
	That is just monstrous.
	How could they do that?
	And I've been thinking, unavoidably, no one believes you about what's happened to me over the course of three years of harassment and abuse.
	All right, Laurie Penny.
	Yeah.
	This is a song we know by now.
	It starts and ends almost always with attacks on our sexuality on our bodies as meat and function.
	Laurie, have you considered that it may be the bullshit that comes out of your mouth that people take exception to?
	Your body as meat and function, as you'd put it, is largely irrelevant and nobody cares.
	But that's the thing.
	This is my point.
	They go on about culture, they go on about gender, they're going about sexuality, they go on about all of the things that gamers probably don't give a fuck about.
	I know as a gamer, I certainly don't give a fuck about.
	And unbreakable, you're right, it is because they use this phrase, the personal is political, because that is how they've engineered this.
	Basically, I think this is how they've got so many crazed gender ideologues to jump on their team.
	Not that there was any other choice for them, really, was there?
	But Jonathan McIntosh is thankfully against the military industrial complex.
	Getting back to old Macintosh because he's a card, isn't he?
	I wonder how rich his father is, actually.
	Can someone look that up?
	Who's Jonathan McIntosh's father and how much does he earn?
	Because I bet these are all just a bunch of fucking rich kids.
	Yeah, enjoy some dead time for a second while I skim through his tweets.
	if you guys have got any questions do ask um san francisco fails again on the fish taco front Well, the shower's broken.
	Five regressive, cringe-worthy gender stereotypes about men and women.
	Go on, John.
	Let's hear this.
	Men only think about sex.
	Well, yeah, yeah.
	And women think about shopping.
	Yeah, no women thinks about shopping.
	Completely false stereotype there.
	Women are uncontrolled and be emotional.
	No, they're not.
	They're never hysterical.
	They keep their calm in every situation.
	Just like I do.
	Men are gay and/or effeminate if they show a sensitive side.
	Gay!
	They are, John.
	Oh, for fuck's sake.
	Yeah, I live in some crime-riddled ghetto.
	It's fairly white around here, though.
	So, you know, just to prove that ghettos aren't racist.
	Anyone can be poor and criminal.
	Jonathan, anyone who tweets Salon.com links is a fucking dipshit.
	In fact, fuck salon.com.
	I'm not reading that shit.
	If you don't ask for what you want, you will infrequently get it.
	Well, that is true, Jonathan.
	What exactly is it that you want?
	Apart from your Swiss new running shoes, women are vastly underrepresented in the on-screen workforce.
	Workforce gender ratio is displayed in popular films from 2010 to 2013 by occupation.
	Oh shit, sorry, guys, if I'm missing questions, hang on.
	Let me.
	I mean, who commissioned this?
	Who did this?
	Who thought?
	You know what, right?
	I am genuinely curious.
	It's how many women to men there are on TV.
	You know, maybe I'll maybe I'll ask how many black to whites and then I'll go brown hair to blonde hair.
	You know, just ah, fuck me.
	Yeah, I've seen that logic bomb guy.
	I'm tempted to do a bit of a deconstruction of one of his videos.
	I cannot tell you why I don't play ads for King of Pole because he's under the desk sucking my cock.
	Okay, I'm just gonna see if there are any comments, questions I missed.
	I'll look at Lischitz's Twitter after Macintosh's.
	I haven't got to the hegemonic masculinity yet, and I really want to get there because it's the proper psycho-feminism shit.
	I wonder if Jonathan McIntosh, when he's in the shower, he's like, oh, wash my chest, wash my arms, wash my legs.
	And he just looks at his crotch and goes, fuck me, I hate this bit of me.
	I just.
	One of these days, I'm going to go get a knife, you know?
	But yeah, anyway, Jonathan McIntosh, full of shit.
	Game Against is politically reactionary.
	Reactionaries always view calls for change or challenges as to the status quo as totalitarianism, Jonathan.
	Right, what you have to understand, you maniac, is that the free market is responsible for the current state of gaming, which means that people use their money in the most democratic fashion possible to create an industry that is vast and hugely popular.
	So popular that Anita Sarkeesian mentions it as the first reason why she's trying to do her thing about gaming in her XLXO Fest.
	I don't know if you've noticed, but gaming's a trillion-dollar industry or whatever.
	Ah, well, there we go.
	That explains everything Anita, doesn't it?
	It's not that you find gaming thrilling, it's not you find it fun, it's that it's worth lots of money.
	And when you've got people saying, We will make games free, Jonathan, we will make games free, even though they start as a free market product, you know, a result of a free market, and they are literally as free as they're ever going to be until you fuckers turn up.
	It's right to call it totalitarianism because that is what you psychopaths are doing.
	And I really think these people might actually be psychopathic, they just do not care about other people, they don't have any kind of empathy for other people.
	Um, I want to get to his hegemonic masculinity things, and he tweets quite a lot as well.
	Um, a lot of banal shit.
	I'd follow him, but he's got me on ban, even though I've never tweeted him.
	Which and this, this is this is brilliant, right?
	I've gotten 50 replies from game gators who have no idea the word control is a sociological meaning that isn't gaming input, Jonathan.
	Everyone understands that.
	The question is: do you understand that it's not appropriate to use it when you're talking about gaming input?
	Dipshit.
	Um, politics is not inserted into games by critics, but is an integral part of the design process.
	Yeah, I tell you what, guys, right, when I was doing Necromancer, I tell you, politics actually did become an integral part of the design process.
	And if I'll tell you some of the um, some of the heroes you'll get to murder in Necromancer with your hordes of zombies.
	Um, I mean, there's there's definitely hipsters that you can kill, there are definitely feministies, um, there are fat maul cops, there are conspiracy theorists, there are all kinds of people that we're gonna kill, but these things kind of came afterwards after after gamergate, Actually, not after game, game, that's.
	That's not true, but like these, we had a group of just people who took themselves far too seriously that we wanted to uh, include as the antagonists in our games.
	Because these people, they.
	I'm sick of these dipshits who take everything so goddamn seriously.
	It's like can't you just have a laugh at yourself for once?
	And i'll do my Matt Lee's impression shortly, because i've been told that my voice sounds a lot like him and I think I can do a pretty damn fine impression of Matt Lee's.
	Sorry, I just saw that in the chat.
	So, yeah, politics is not inside the game.
	It's like, look, when I'm designing mechanics for games and stuff like that, Jonathan, I'm not really thinking about politics.
	And it's only people who can't not think about politics that do this.
	And, you know, Winston Churchill said it best when he said that a zealot is someone who can't change their mind and won't change the subject.
	And that's you people, Jonathan.
	All of you, you're fucking zealots.
	You literally can't not talk about it.
	In fact, you can't not talk about these things to such an extent that you make entire careers of talking about nothing but these things.
	But here we go.
	Here we go.
	You get to the good stuff.
	A core value of patriarchal masculinity is control.
	It's not a coincidence that control is central to many video game mechanics and stories.
	That's where everyone was like, Jonathan, what the fuck are you talking about?
	When we talk about control in a video games, we're talking about control over ourselves, our character in the video game.
	This is like Shira Chess's complete bafflement at the idea that you can somehow realign the position of the camera in GTA 3.
	Why can you do that?
	Oh, it's clearly so you can play the delinquent and the authority figure handing down justice to reinforce the current status quo and the legal norms of society and all this bullshit.
	It's like, no, Shira, listen, you dipshit.
	It's so I can see better within the game world.
	What kind of moral are you?
	But I love this.
	The idea that being real men are physically strong, emotionless, project toughness, get women, etc.
	Thereby implying that nerds are not real men.
	And it's like, Jonathan, your side is the one who constantly goes out of their way to define what real men are.
	And you always define them as John Wayne.
	And you guys are the only people saying that these people are real fucking men.
	No one else is saying that.
	You are the dipshits who are saying that.
	Oh, hey, Bewildered Ape.
	Nice to see that you finally turned up.
	I can't believe that.
	Bewildered Ape's a second one of my trolls, guys.
	And he's brilliant because he always talks past you until he's handed you a way to make him look like an absolute dipshit.
	It's just bravo, Belded Ape.
	Your ideology is absolutely not getting the better of you.
	You keep trucking, man.
	I think that if you troll me enough, I might quit as well.
	I think I'm probably going to be like, no, enough internet for me.
	i can't be doing with any of this anymore bewildered ape and optium have they they they said things that didn't really make too much sense on my videos because they kind of missed the point But they said nasty things and now I'm going to quit.
	So, yeah, Matt Lee's calling Christina Hoffsummers scum.
	Of all the people to call scum.
	I mean, why didn't he call me scum?
	I'm the one who ripped the piss out of him.
	Fuck me, Matt.
	You're a dipshit.
	Christine Hoffcummers is objectively not scum.
	She is objectively not scum.
	You can say, right, someone who is scum is someone who does this, this, this, and this.
	And Christina Hoff Summers doesn't do any of these things.
	She's an incredibly respectable lady.
	How anyone could think that, Matt, you know, when I talk about vaginas, I am talking about games.
	Lees is fucking calling anyone scum is Jesus.
	Yeah, Optium probably does want it, I think.
	i think that all of these feminists do they just need this need again um yeah matt lee's Hi, I'm Matt Lees.
	I'm going to do a piss echo, I swear to God.
	It's just, yeah, anyway.
	Yeah, let's see what Lipschitz is.
	What was Alex Lifshitz's name?
	Oh, hang on.
	Known Cold Titty Man, wasn't it?
	well that's that's not what I asked for is it unknown spoopy man Alex you're making me say your stupid name Why?
	But everyone should check out this conversation that Shadow Todd, whoever that is, is having with a Gamergate dude.
	think we should check that out okay he wrote an article about pushing for ethics Okay, well, I'm sure that's interesting.
	Well, Adam Ryland got my vote already.
	It's the same article over and over again.
	Criticize a woman for any reason equals sexist.
	People are tired of it, dude.
	I'll be all the day, are you tired of it?
	Do you think it's sexist to criticize women?
	I think it is.
	think you think it is I mind to rate all of this in my Alex Lee's Matt Lee's voice But whatever, man, that's not what the article's even about.
	It's about ethics in journalism.
	Then why no mention of the fun young capitalist Wizard Chan or the JGP?
	I don't actually know what that is.
	Or, you know, any actual shit about games?
	Too much to ask?
	Well, what's that got to do with ethics and journalism?
	A game charity being doxxed isn't a news story.
	False.
	Sorry, false accusations from a dev to a forum isn't a story.
	Adam, I can see the problem you're having.
	You're dealing with facts.
	And that's, I mean, that's all I need to really say, isn't it?
	It's you're dealing with facts and these people are psychotic.
	I was repeatedly told that this movement isn't about any of those things.
	It's about ethics in journalism.
	And the ethical thing to do in journalism would be to report those stories.
	They didn't.
	They still haven't.
	They have zero ethics.
	Adam, you're.
	I can see why Alex Lifshitz is totally, totally against this guy.
	Because, goddamn.
	Yeah, well, I mean, I'm on camera lady gets in as well.
	That's cool.
	So, okay.
	And he, he, he, he, I know that he watched my video about him because he put, I got some Gamergater to say, known cold titty man.
	It's like, Alex, I have absolutely no problem saying all kinds of ridiculous shit.
	Um, you bell end.
	Ah, why haven't I been calling them gay lords?
	Fuck.
	Seriously, there is so much British playground slang that is just so applicable to these people.
	So heading up the Gaming Gate rogues gallery.
	Notorious YouTube trolls.
	I suppose that's me.
	Adam Baldwin, Breitbart, InfoWars, literal Nazis, and Shredded Moose.
	Hang on, why are you saying the social justice warriors are part of Gamergate's Rogue Gallery?
	No, no, no.
	You need to take out the literal Nazis and just replace it with anything.
	Oh, that's a good tweet.
	Ha ha ha.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	And this is good.
	This is good.
	Retweeting feminist frequency linking to wehuntedthemammoth.com.
	Wehuntedthemammoth.com is run by a male land whale who is convinced that absolutely any criticism of women, even if it's coming from women, is misogyny.
	For example, Janet Bloomfield is featured.
	And Janet, you're kind of hot, you know.
	Yeah, Janet Bloomfield, she doesn't give a fuck.
	She's not a known giver of fucks.
	And so yeah, David Futrell, that's it.
	He has a picture of a child for some reason as his avatar.
	I don't really know why.
	But if you look at him, he's a full-on land whale who probably has a pickup truck to get him out of his house.
	He's a bit of an alcoholic as well, but I'm not surprised if I had his mind, I would be too.
	Nathan Grayson and Totillo have been busy keeping the industry accountable.
	Just so everyone knows, they've been busy keeping the industry accountable.
	Grayson.
	these people are insane i i don't even so yeah i think these people are just crazy and And I think that I've made the points I wanted to make about them there.
	And yeah, Janet Bloomfield got banned off Twitter probably because she's too badass.
	She runs a blog called judgybitch.com and she does hilarious deconstructions of female, I don't want to call them journalists, but female bloggers who write stuff and give just hilariously bad advice to other women saying, hey, what you should do is fuck around in your 20s and then be alone in your 30s and say that, hey, being alone in my 30s is awesome and then embrace your cats.
	And Janet's just like, that's fucking retarded.
	Why would you do that?
	That's, oh, God.
	But, right, so this has been going on for a while.
	And I think I've made the points I wanted to make.
	So just to quickly sum up, these people project all of their own inner demons onto you.
	And I think they've got a lot of inner demons.
	They won't listen to reason.
	They won't listen to facts.
	They're coming from academic feminism.
	Remember that if anyone wants to look it up, go Google the Fembot Collective, where a bunch of Canadian feminist academics are busy peer-reviewing their own papers or each other's papers and calling Christine a scum, I imagine.
	I actually did try to play Mountain Blade the other day.
	And I was going to put it up, but I have failed so hard in my Mountain Blade campaign, but I think I'm actually going to have to restart it.
	I've actually alienated myself from all but one faction in the entire world of Mountain Blade, the Warsaw Conquest one.
	And I own a tiny keep somewhere near the high off lands that I'm literally about to lose and I cannot hold off.
	I think I'm going to start a new one as the dwarves because I like the idea of having a bunch of little stumpy guys who are angry as fuck with axes.
	So, yeah, I'm going to do one as the dwarves, and I think that'll be quite amusing.
	Although, I did try playing one as the dwarves the other day, and it's a fucking tough sell because the dwarves don't start with any kind of protection, really.
	And you count as a dwarf, I suppose, as part of the dwarf kingdom when you're moving around.
	So, you get goblins and orcs chasing you all over the place.
	Esper Finn, I'm actually, I'll tell you what, it's done.
	I was actually doing this while I was uploading a PvP game of Rome Total War that I played with a friend of mine last night.
	I thought it'd be fun to record, and I fucking suck at that as well.
	I'm suck at everything, goddammit.
	I know, I don't want to join a big empire leak because I um I want to form my own kingdom, goddammit, my own kingdom of a cad.
	Um, I tell you, someone said racist, right?
	Now, one thing I'm surprised that the social justice warriors aren't all up at is DD because my god, I'm so fucking racist when I play DD.
	You know, I walk into a room and the DM's like, you've got there are five goblins in here, and the first thing I'm drawing my sword because they're fucking goblins.
	Where are the social justice warriors?
	Hey, why aren't they all over Dungeons and Dragons?
	It's the most racist goddamn game ever, but it's surprisingly egalitarian when it comes to the sexes.
	Men and women have just got the same stats, so you can't uh a kratus a cratus.
	Who the hell is a kratus?
	Um, okay, um, oh yeah, hello, hello, right, okay, that would be interesting.
	Someone who's actually willing to accept academia.
	I like it, I like it.
	I never thought of that, actually, right?
	so is it this sander guy who um or is it a kratus i need to be reading out god if it's all about cultural conspiracy theory bullshit then why don't use those words rather than misogyny or sexism Because them's the words that have been used for over half a century.
	That makes it okay, then that makes it okay.
	Don't worry about actually using the correct words for the terms you're trying to convey, use just these bullshit words.
	Hey, Empire Prairie, I literally just published a video about me playing Rome Total War.
	Um, I can't remember what I think I played um the Seleucids in the first game, and my phalanxes got absolutely fucking destroyed, just savaged by um, by the Egyptian phalanxes of a main mind.
	And my cavalry were doing pretty well.
	I managed to do some damage from the cavalry, but he had his shit together.
	And uh, in the second one, he decided to play the Scythians, and I played, I think it was the Athenians, and I knew what was coming, so I basically set up a little fortress of men on the battlefield with um, with six uh with um three Cretan archers and three Rodian slingers and nailed him, nailed him at long range, and just kept my shit together.
	And then used the heavy cavalry that I had to absolutely um run around his uh his light, lighter horse archers.
	And then for the last game, we went Sparta versus Rome, and the Romans are way too overpowered.
	I'm fucking sorry, but my Spartan phalanxes, I it was just one-on-one, you know, it moved our lines together, and I thought, right, okay, these phalanxes are going to at least hold these Romans for a while, you know.
	I mean, this surely has got to be a fairly even battle.
	But goddamn, no, they just chewed through my phalanxes before I knew what was happening.
	I lost again.
	So it was 2-1 to him, which sucks.
	But yeah, Rome 2 does seem to have been patched.
	They've got this Emperor Edition now.
	I bought it on pre-release ages ago, before it came out or whatever.
	So I knew I was going to get it.
	And so I've got, I think I get all the updates for free and stuff.
	But yeah, it's this Emperor Edition.
	And I tell you, a lot of the problems.
	have been patched out as far as I can tell.
	I haven't played a campaign yet.
	Excuse me.
	I haven't played the campaign yet.
	So I don't actually know whether the problems of the campaign have patched out.
	But in the battle, there was very little blobbing of my guys.
	My guys actually, it was like playing an updated version of Rome 1.
	It was amazing.
	My guys, they didn't blog the unit formations.
	They stayed where I wanted them to fucking stay.
	And it was all I wanted out of Rome.
	So yeah, it's a lot.
	Infant Audrey, it's a lot better than it was.
	It's a lot better than it was.
	It was playable and I enjoyed it.
	And I'll probably do another one against him because I want my revenge.
	I don't like losing 2-1.
	Sorry, someone asked me a question that I wanted to answer a second ago.
	How do I feel about my mention on the Encyclopedia Dramatica?
	I actually saw it yesterday.
	I'll just get it up just so people can hear the one mention I have on Encyclopedia Dramatica.
	It's on, I'll tweet it just so you can see the article because I was quite pleased with it, to be honest.
	I think it, yeah, I think it's good.
	It's about Bob Chipman, everyone's favorite lardass.
	And who?
	And it says, Bob was obviously badly bullied in school because he's fat and fucking useless.
	Quote from Sagan of a CAD telling the life story of Bob.
	Well, the truth hurts, doesn't it, Bob?
	The thing is, right, that's I'm being unfair there because he's actually he's actually not useless.
	His knowledge of irrelevant and obsessive nerd culture is commendable.
	It's very impressive.
	And I mean, that's a use that he has.
	I've got no particular interest in the extreme sort of the extreme finities of 60s comic book culture or anything.
	But there we go.
	Actually, they let me form any old unit formation, and I never had any women in any of my units.
	In fact, they were all being oppressed at home while my guys were out dying on the battlefield.
	Yeah, so I feel bad for them, to be honest.
	Those poor women, they should have been dying on that battlefield with those guys.
	How dare those men oppress those women?
	It's disgusting.
	Someone asked me if I listened to Dan Carlin's last podcast.
	Was this?
	I'm just going to get up just to make sure I'm talking about the right one.
	Seriously, guys, everyone should listen to Dan Carlin.
	He's fucking amazing.
	Or I would if it didn't look like my internet was about to go autistic.
	Yeah, okay.
	I can't seem to get it up at the moment.
	Was it?
	Let me just get the chat back up.
	Yeah, for some reason, it's just timing out at the moment.
	All female DLC is coming.
	Oh, my God.
	That is.
	Yeah, women are the primary victims of war.
	Thanks, Hillary Clinton.
	Yeah, they're the primary victims, primary victims.
	Honestly, Americans, right?
	She's your next president.
	Get fucking used to it.
	You know what, right?
	I'm actually, I'm not annoyed at Gamergates, but I'm annoyed at these who make me talk about things that aren't so important.
	And I know, I know that sounds terrible.
	And everyone's like, oh my god, Sargon hates Gamergate.
	No, I don't, obviously.
	But the thing is, in the grand scheme of things, video games aren't really all that important.
	I think I'm like most people when I say I tend to find them as just, you know, it's a way of blowing off stress and shit like that.
	And I would much rather be spending my time talking about politics or academic feminism or just stupid shit that exists in the world.
	And I'm kind of, I begrudge the fact that these fuckers are making me do this because there's no way.
	There is no fucking way I am letting, I am conceding the field to these twats in video games.
	There is no fucking way.
	I'm not even going to say I love video games.
	I don't need to say that.
	Everyone fucking can see that for fuck's sake.
	I'm about everyone on Gamergate.
	Fuck's sake.
	And it pisses me off that I have to fight this battle here, you know, where it shouldn't have to be fought.
	You know, this shouldn't be happening.
	They should just be like, oh, well, what we want to do is make Depression Quest ad nauseum.
	And it's okay, go ahead.
	You know, just go ahead.
	You, you guys, knock yourselves out.
	In fact, what I'm actually thinking we might need to do, right, is what we might need to do is petition all the AAA developers.
	And this is my plan for winning Gamergate, right?
	Petition all the AAA developers and say, look, right, can you play Depression Quest and then make a AAA version of Depression Quest, please?
	And what we'll do is we'll call them feelings games.
	We'll call them feelings games.
	And so not gamer games, they're feelings games.
	They're social justice games.
	And we can turn social justice games into a category of their own.
	So all the major companies are producing these really, really amazing-looking choose your own adventure novels.
	And then they're releasing them to big, you know, big production, big, big budget sort of things.
	And it can just become an industry of its own.
	And then we can kind of just hand it off to them and say, you know, you guys, you guys can enjoy this industry.
	And then Kotaku can just rebrand themselves as Feelings Games journalism.
	You know, we will deal with all manner of depression quests or gone homes and all that sort of thing.
	And then we can go back to doing sort of like proper gaming on other websites and they can just have it.
	Let them have it.
	And then the market will, you know, calculate it.
	The market will adjust.
	Sour games, Sour Grape.
	Sorry, I know.
	That's the thing.
	We need to just, we can basically co-opt them, I think, by just like categorizing them into a minor category that people are going to look at them and go like, oh, that looks dull, doesn't it?
	And I'm like, yeah, but there are some people who like that.
	So let them play.
	And absolutely, let them have it.
	You know, go crazy, guys.
	And then, I mean, they'll never go broke because Alex Lipschitz's father is probably funding the whole fucking thing just to keep his goddamn annoying son quiet.
	And the picture I've seen of the two of them in together, Alex Lipschitz, he looks like the most mopey emo twat you've ever seen.
	You know, his dad's like, hold on, here's my son.
	Give him a big grin.
	Instead of the son being like, yeah, this is my dad.
	I love my dad.
	The son's just like, giving a fucking pout on.
	It's, oh, Jesus, lipshits.
	You can't control how you feel, can you?
	Oh, impartiality is fucking bullshit.
	Bias is good.
	Ignorance is strength.
	Fucking hell.
	Yeah, Anarchangel, exactly.
	None of it will sell.
	And, you know, AAA will go back to exclusively normal games, but the category will have been created.
	It'll be codified.
	It will be institutionalized as feel games.
	And it's just like, great, you guys can, you know, they can, they can.
	That's it.
	I'm removing, I am absolutely removing the controls for base base cube simulator, base fear simulator.
	Sorry, you know, in it, I was see, this is what I mean.
	I was stupid enough to put it so if you click the left mouse button, that the ball goes up.
	They don't want that.
	What the fuck was I thinking?
	They don't want that.
	That was why Base Fear Simulator was only popular amongst gamers.
	I figured it out.
	Absolutely figured it out.
	No, I'm not.
	I'm a forces brat, Luke.
	So I'm from everywhere, really.
	But I do live in the West Country, which kind of makes me think that my accent's becoming a bit more West Country-ish if you've brought that up.
	Exactly, Bruce.
	I have no control over my emotions, and that is a good thing.
	All right, just could you guys go somewhere else and have no control just over there?
	I don't, I don't know.
	I mean, just away from the people who are concerned about the games.
	Isn't that okay?
	And the thing is, I don't even hate these people.
	You know, I think they're retarded.
	I think they're hilarious.
	But I just, I don't hate them.
	I just want them to fuck off.
	But is Beige white, though?
	I mean, Beige might not be white.
	Sorry, someone.
	Sorry, I keep missing out the good questions because of the funny ones.
	Let me scroll up a second.
	Sorry about this.
	Oh, there's a new Encyclopedia Dramatica article.
	Oh, I'm going to have to.
	I tell you, it's just Sargon, is it?
	I tell you what, I absolutely love Encyclopedia Dramatica.
	The way it's written is just so fucking hilarious.
	These guys have just got shit going on.
	He's got Captain Andy's video!
	Captain Andy is one of my oldest trolls.
	And I love him.
	He looks like he never bathes.
	And his room is a complete mess.
	I mean, I'm no one to judge.
	My room's a complete mess, but that's why I don't show it to people.
	But yeah, MRA hates women with a passion, which is why this British faggot hasn't ever got laid ever.
	That's true.
	This is the thing, right?
	Encyclopedia Dramatica are so fucking accurate with everything they do that there's no contending it.
	There's actually no contending it.
	Hey, that article's fucking awesome.
	Monday, Matt.
	Commentator on the whole doesn't have any influence.
	Thunderfoot, not a gamer.
	Doesn't know the difference between the Xbox and the PlayStation.
	Fucking PC master race peasants.
	King of Pole, literally who?
	I think you mean literally shill.
	Rogue Star Games, the self-proclaimed leader of Gamergate.
	I love it.
	This is a good article.
	It needs filling out, though.
	You know?
	Sorry, I'll come back to the comments now.
	50 Shades of Beige.
	I'd read that.
	Yeah, I'd read the shit out of that.
	Oh, I love Captain Andy's You've Criticized a Woman, Therefore You Are Misogynist is path of the course.
	I mean, it's absolutely powerful.
	It's exactly what I expect.
	Frankly, I find it hilarious.
	And I try to engage him whenever he puts a video out because he doesn't seem to understand just how persistent I am when I'm trolling someone.
	Yeah, the Dan Carmen article podcast.
	I wanted to talk about that because, oh, no, no, no, it's finally working out.
	Has he bought a new one out or is it still the one from about a week now?
	Yeah, Control in the Past.
	Yeah.
	I did listen to this.
	Who's the guy who asked me about that?
	Could you say something again so I know who I'm talking to?
	Because the chat's gone by now.
	So the uh, there's an Encyclopedia Dramatica article about uh Gamegate.
	I'll tweak it.
	There we go.
	Who had um who had what point about Ricky Gervais?
	I tell you, I follow Ricky Gervais on Facebook, and I'm really starting to become a bit suspicious about his love for animals.
	I mean, I love animals too, I think they're fucking hilarious.
	Uh, some of the funniest things that I've ever seen happen have been done by animals running into things, but um but I mean, you know, Gervais's love for animals is really bordering on the sort of this is getting a bit creepy now, man.
	Yeah, Dan Cullen does need to do um do more podcasts, but the thing is, he's he's so damn good at what he does that I can I can forgive him it.
	Um, but yeah, he Dan Cullen, his last one, he talks about the political and ideological culture wars and the teaching of history in schools.
	And he makes some damn fine points that I really do agree with.
	Um, it's it's self-evident to everyone, I think, in the real world who's been paying attention to what's going on in politics that there absolutely is an ideological um war at the moment, which is what the um social justice warriors are calling a culture war.
	But it's not, it's an ideological war.
	Um, and no, Esper Finn, 7 billion isn't too many humans.
	I think it's something like 16% of the potential agricultural land on earth is being used at the moment.
	We can support way more humans.
	The problem isn't the number of humans, the problem is the quality of the humans.
	I don't know if you've noticed, but the schools are pumping out morons, armies and armies of fucking morons.
	And we proclaim to be a democracy in the West, or every Western country proclaims to be in democracies.
	And that's a fucking scary thing.
	I don't want armies of morons having the power to vote.
	I'm genuinely starting to think that maybe democracy was a bad idea.
	You know, maybe it's maybe it's run its course because these people are fucking idiots.
	I don't want them voting for people.
	They're fucking morons.
	But, but I mean, you know, it's no worse than any other system we've tried, and it's the best one we've got.
	So what to do, isn't it?
	You know, what to do?
	But I'm losing right.
	Something occurred to me the other day, right?
	Which is more ridiculous, right?
	Is it more ridiculous that we get like, I don't know, it's probably about a thousand, two thousand people who constitute like social justice and social justice academia.
	And we get them together in a large room and just we say to them, look, right, it's we're really sorry to have to do this and we're all going to feel really bad about this.
	But you people, you sort of like death-worshipping cultists who are convinced that everyone hates everyone else and you just can't get on in life.
	You're triggered, your feelings, everything's awful to you.
	We're going to smother you to death with pillows because it's obviously the best thing for you.
	And we're going to feel really bad.
	No, it's okay.
	And they'll be like, no, no, I knew this was going to happen.
	And they probably wouldn't even fight back.
	They're just sitting there going, you know, I knew this was going to happen.
	I absolutely knew this is going to this.
	See, see, if we pissed off enough people, they'd smother us to death with pillows.
	It's like, yeah, it's soft.
	Let it happen.
	Let it happen.
	And they'd probably let it happen.
	Is that more unlikely than them turning around and apologizing and admitting they're wrong?
	You know, which one sounds more ridiculous?
	Frankly, I think them apologizing sounds more ridiculous than us smothering them to death.
	So it's just like the you know, where do we go from here?
	I don't, they're never going to stop.
	They professionally go out of their way to inject feminism into games.
	That's what their entire academic careers have been based on.
	A lot of these people.
	And it's just like, okay, well, I'm afraid that I find it absolutely unacceptable and I'm not going to tolerate it in any shape or form.
	In fact, to the point where I have my own YouTube channel to tell people that these people are fucking idiots and you should ignore them and probably drive them out of the temple at all costs.
	So where does it end?
	You know, where do they think it's going to end?
	Do they think they're going to win the culture war?
	Because I'm certainly not going to capitulate.
	So, yeah, these people seem to hate life.
	They seem to hate living.
	They seem to hate everything around them.
	And it's just like, okay, guys, I just want to tell you, social justice warriors, that the problem therefore lies with you and not everyone else.
	I mean, you know, I mean, unless you guys are looking at them like Germans looked at Jews or Nazis looked at Jews or something.
	You know, that's the thing.
	They won't apologize.
	Everyone knows that they're not going to apologize.
	So smothering them all to death at the XOXO Fest seems less unlikely, doesn't it?
	Obviously, nobody goes smother anyone with a pillow, even if they deserve it.
	So, yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, if you guys have got any other questions, then please do ask.
	Otherwise, I guess I'll wrap this up because I've said everything that I want to incriminate myself with, I think.
	Wait, they're already in the tabletop games world.
	How of all the places I didn't think they'd end up going?
	I thought Games Workshop was probably the last place.
	Us Amore is always playing the Nazi card.
	Well, you know, if the shoe fits, if you guys act like a bunch of Nazis, what the fuck are you going to do?
	There's, you know, nobody's making the social justice warriors act this way.
	Maybe we are.
	Maybe, maybe it's because we allowed a bunch of idiots to take over the school system.
	Ah, I'll tell you what, Common Core.
	Jesus, you guys, look, seriously, have a look at that shit.
	That is just some that is dangerous shit.
	That's the sort of shit that's going to cause the fall of Western civilization.
	But yeah, the development on Necromancer is going well.
	I'm currently waiting to the weekend so I can do some more network testing.
	I found the network, the network connection on it's been a bit laggy and I don't really know why.
	So I'm going to be sat there and sat this weekend just changing small bits of code and seeing how it breaks things.
	And hopefully I can improve it a bit because I'm not happy with how sluggish it is at the moment.
	So that's what we're doing.
	But we've got all the three all the models back from the modelers now.
	And I'm waiting for the animator to animate them and I can put them in.
	And then I'll be doing a let's play video of my own game.
	So you can all complain about how shit it is and tell me, look, dude, you suck.
	What are you doing?
	I know, I know.
	But I wanted to say that I've made a game.
	I want to make a fucking game.
	God damn it.
	I want to make games for a living.
	That's what I've always wanted to do.
	I like inventing things.
	But yeah, Internet Astrocrat, I think, does have a video on Common Core, but I'm tempted to do a more in-depth one because, I mean, he said it better, they're creating monsters.
	They are creating monsters.
	I think Lift Shits and all that sort of social justice crew are the result of all this.
	Where there's no competition, victimhood is good.
	Everyone's a special snowflake.
	It's okay to have your feelings.
	No one can criticize your feelings.
	Your feelings are above reproach and you can't possibly control them.
	Bias is good because you're a biased person, like Koz and all the rest of them say, you know, no, I am biased.
	And it's okay, that's great.
	You're biased.
	I'm what?
	That's normally where you realize that the conversation is over and that you've lost.
	It's not normally something you play as a Trump card, is it?
	It's like, yeah, but I'm biased.
	So I win this argument.
	It's like, no.
	But yeah, it's going to have LAN multiplayer.
	I actually need to implement that.
	So I'll probably do that today now that you mentioned it.
	I'm going to write that down.
	Thanks for bringing that up.
	Because there's a different script that you need to do LAN, obviously, to all nine.
	So yeah, no, I'll do that today, actually.
	Thanks.
	I was kind of that's basically why I started doing the string.
	So I was just like, okay, I don't really know what I need to do without going beyond the testing for the network connection.
	So I was kind of floundering and I thought, well, I'll just get all these things out of the way because there's a lot of bullshit here.
	But the inclusivity crap got slanted over DD 3rd edition, did it?
	I play 3.5 quite a lot.
	I DM 3.5 for about five years.
	I took a party of my friends to, they started about, I think, level three or four.
	I hate starting level one because I don't want them to all just die instantly.
	So we started when they've got a few hit points, but we went right up to like level 23.
	And they were, they were absolutely, I'll tweet a link to Necromancer.
	See, we're such a low budget.
	We did a Kickstarter a while ago and it was successful.
	It's just fucking amazing.
	And so we've made Necromancer on about £7,000.
	So probably about, I know, $12,000, something like that.
	And so when I see Anita Suckiesen getting $160,000 and not making a fucking game with the £152,000 that she needed after doing the goddamn videos, it fucking infuriates me.
	If I had $160,000 to make a game, I would make a hell of a game.
	I mean, the next game that we're planning to do after Necromancer is basically going to be like a tactical dungeon crawler.
	I don't know what the full scope of it's going to be yet, because frankly, I don't know what I'm effectually able to program yet.
	But about 10 years ago now, me and my co-developer, we sat down and we were going to design a pen and paper role-playing game.
	And so that's what we did.
	And we wanted it to accurately model the events as best we could because there were some serious, not flaws, but serious design choices in Dungeons and Dragons we weren't happy about.
	And I know this is a story as old as time.
	Everyone's done this.
	But we came up with a fairly good system.
	And we had good reasons for doing things and good balance of mechanics.
	And hopefully Necromancer will be on Steam and good old games.
	But a good balance of mechanics.
	And the only problem that it was quite calculation heavy, which obviously made it unsuitable to try and publish as a pen and paper role-playing game, which suddenly, you know, basically where we learned why the guys at DD had made the choices they'd made.
	But the thing is, it really, really, really suits, really suits a video game.
	And so we've been holding on to it.
	And basically, it's going to be: you'll have a persistent team of characters.
	And it'll be kind of top-down in the same sort of vein as Necromancer.
	But you'll have a team of characters and they'll all go up levels and they'll all have experience and skills.
	But we're going classless with it.
	And so classes are actually going to be something you kind of stumble into or earn rather than choose.
	So basically, you start as a character and you, you know, I don't know, characters under people or if you increase on skills, if your highest skills, say you took like a very high survival skill and a very high ranged weapon skill, then you might gain the title of Ranger and that'll give you a few other little bonuses.
	You know, they'll give you some minor, minor, nothing, nothing game-breaking or anything, but it's, it'll be worth getting just because it will add to what you're already doing.
	But it won't be something that you'll be like, oh my god, I've changed from a ranger to a warrior.
	I'm so gutted about that.
	You know, because each one will have small bonuses of their own and they won't be game changers, but they'll be useful.
	It'll be nice to be able to call you so you can craft your characters like this.
	So I want it to be very much like bottom-up.
	But the thing with the skills, the skills themselves take part in actions.
	I'm expecting Necromancer to be released in hopefully in November sometime.
	I was hoping for October, but I'm not sure we're going to have enough time to do proper play testing with it.
	So I want to make sure that it's as bug-free as it can be when I release it.
	And no, we're not going to be doing any kind of early access nonsense or anything like that.
	But yeah, random guy, yeah, the SDAWs are going to love it.
	But yeah, so the way the skill tree works, you can carry on, you can start with every, I think there's about 16 skills, base skills that anyone can increase at any time when they level up and get skill points.
	And they'll give you certain skill itself will be your base modifier to whatever action it is that the skill's performing, or you're performing with that skill, should I say.
	But you'll also get a special ability every, I think, I don't know, just three special abilities over the lifetime of that skill.
	And these skills will be prerequisites for prestige skills, where the prestige skills are where the really fancy stuff happens.
	Because the general skills are going to be fairly generic and normal, but you'll need a combination of prestige skills to unlock a special skill.
	And the special skill where you'll have things like, you know, turning your sword into flaming swords and stuff like that.
	You know, that'll be specialized stuff.
	And so yeah, and this all contributes to the base skills.
	So you're not losing out on raw power for your characters.
	So I'm really, really excited about it.
	And it's going to be sort of, yeah, it'll be real-time sort of tactical dungeon crawler.
	So you move.
	And the thing is, I don't want you to have to tell your characters to attack.
	One of the things that pisses me off in so many games is like, oh, you know, I've got a click to attack.
	It's, oh, come on.
	You know, I'm controlling four guys.
	I don't want to have to, you know, I don't want to have to tell them to do stuff.
	So, you know, I want to give them orders and let them follow the orders rather than micromanage.
	You know, if the character, you know, the character's going to attack.
	He's, you know, if it's a guy standing in a dungeon and there's a goblin in front of him, he's not going to be like, well, you know, my order is to just hold my position and not attack.
	He's going to attack the goblin in front of him.
	And, oh, another thing we're going to do with it is create, I've got an idea for like a modular system of orders and abilities where you can hopefully, well, hopefully, again, this is all pissing in the wind, but I'm pretty sure I can do this, which is why I'm saying it.
	But what I think that I'll be able to do is have like a modulus, a modular sort of ability system where certain abilities will allow you to add a selection of other abilities to this to this ability that you're creating, like to this function that you're creating.
	So you can effectively create a character who works in exactly the way that you want them to work, assuming it's legal within the game rules.
	So if you had, say you're a warrior and you've got you want an attack.
	So you start with your basic attack and to that you want to add, I don't know, like a heavy damage attack sort of thing, a heavy heavy damage ability that you have.
	And that ability might say, right, okay, you get plus five damage, but it takes five extra time points or action points or whatever to do.
	So now you've got like, you know, it might have taken five time points or action points or whatever to do the normal attack, but now it takes 10, but you do a hell of a lot of extra damage.
	And then you might have a special ability that says you can have it so that you've got a lower percentage to hit, but it also removes time points from your attack.
	So now your attack was whatever your base attack is for your character, say 50% to hit or something.
	But now it's now 40%, but it's only eight action points to do.
	So and so certain things, and when you know, certain things will preclude other things from being added to the thing you're creating, the funk you're creating.
	And you'll be able to, hopefully, I really think you'll be able to tailor it with all of the prestige skills being able to add to things you can already do.
	But it'll be kind of like XCOM, but real time and different.
	But it won't be different.
	It won't be dissimilar to XCOM, because I'll tell you what, I was a big fan of UFO back in the day.
	I still am.
	It was on Steam a while ago for like three quid, so I grabbed it and I have played it.
	I might do a let's play actually.
	I played the new XCOM and I wasn't impressed because you can only have like four guys or six guys or something.
	And that pissed me off.
	We're the humans.
	We're playing as the disposable characters.
	But yeah, anyway, so I've got quite a lot of ideas for it.
	And the whole point is to be able to really customize a team of absolute badasses.
	So you can go around dominating these dungeons.
	And there's going to be a lot of, hopefully a lot of PvP in it as well.
	And I'm planning to have various kind of modes for it, but I'm not going to go into it because I can't be sure of what I can achieve.
	But everything I've said so far, I'm pretty sure I can see how it's going to happen.
	So I'm confident that I'll be able to make it.
	But yeah, so that's me waffling about my game.
	And I'll do a video about Necromancer as soon as I can.
	Yeah.
	anyone else got any other questions yeah that's the i was going to do a let's play of the x-con but the re you know just kind of what i like doing when i'm doing like these sort of things is taking the game incredibly literally So not saying that anything about the game itself is shit, but you might get a character who says retarded stuff.
	And so laughing at that character in the context of him being my commanding officer in the game.
	Long war mod, what's that for?
	that Rome or mountain blade oh Cassius on the subject of Big Red I can tell you a game that she does feature in Xenonauts No, I've never heard of it.
	I'm going to Google it now that you've mentioned it though.
	Well, I like the first screenshot already.
	Wait, what?
	Get my screenshot back for fuck's sake.
	Hey, this looks pretty cool.
	Is it some turn-based or real-time?
	Oh fucking Bioware, man.
	Just Bioware, they infuriate me, right?
	Man, I have spent far too many hours of my life playing Boulder's Gate.
	I played Boulder's Gate 1 right through to the end.
	And I spent so much time on Baldur's Gate 1 that by the time I met, how was it, Saranak or something?
	What was his name?
	The dude at the end.
	The guy in Hefty Armor, he's terrifying.
	But by the time I got there, I think he meant to finish about level 7.
	And my guys were level 9.
	And so I absolutely bitch slapped him.
	It was fucking crazy.
	All right, turn-based.
	See, now that's the thing about the reason.
	The reason that I'm doing, I want to do this dungeon crawler game real time is so it works better for multiplayer.
	Because I also did a prototype for a game called Drones.
	I'll send you guys, I'll tweak the link so you guys can check it out.
	But it's basically a double-blind, turn-based tactical game where you control a team of drones.
	And this dungeon crawler game is actually going to operate very much on the same sort of principles as drones.
	Where instead of controlling the squad of robots that you kind of upgrade, you'll be controlling your characters.
	But it'll be a lot deeper.
	The problem with drones is that, honestly, I began it before I knew a lot about programming.
	And I learned a hell of a lot doing it.
	And now I'm looking back at it thinking, right, okay, I'd like to rework it, but there would be so much I would have to go into and rework that it would just be easier to not.
	I'd probably have to restart it.
	And if I'm going to do that, I'd really like to do the dungeon crawling game because I've got a great, great idea for the level system and all that sort of thing.
	Because my problem with multiplayer waiting for someone else to do the goddamn turn and that's boring.
	But the thing with drones is it got around all that by being double blind.
	So you just basically place orders and you place a series of orders to, you know, you say, right, move to this position, rotate, and then go on Overwatch for 30 seconds or something like that.
	And yeah, Stefan Molyneux, he's just a sophist.
	You can tell a sophist by how long they have to take to make their points.
	And I'm not saying that all people who make long points are sophists, but that is what Molyneux is.
	And Thunderfoot's pointing out the pregnant pauses is absolutely correct.
	People who are trying to persuade you of something that might not actually be true do take those sort of approaches.
	How to put it?
	They try to make something that you wouldn't out of context.
	If it sounds stupid out of context, then it's probably not true.
	Anything that says disavow your family, I find is cultist.
	That's a culty mentality.
	And I imagine there are plenty of social justice warriors who have disavowed their own families.
	And I swear it's God, right?
	A lot of society's problems right now are really, really due to the breakdown of the nuclear family.
	Look, look at statistics for how many people in jail come from single-parent households.
	It's staggering.
	It's staggering.
	How many people who commit rape and all that come from single-parent households?
	And it's like, yeah, no wonder these women are like, oh, we need to teach men not to rape.
	It's like, yeah, because you're raising men who don't know any better, apparently.
	You know, for the rest of us, Jesus.
	I think MGTOW is something that's always been and always will be.
	Because women tend to abuse their position of privilege.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I'm, yeah, my pregnant pauses.
	I'm doing all this off the top of my head.
	And it's not that I'm trying to create a pregnant pause.
	I'm trying to make sure that I don't say something I don't mean.
	If I was going to produce a video to make a strong point, I wouldn't be using pregnant pauses.
	In fact, I think I've got my videos down to quite a lean time frame these days.
	I'm quite enjoying it.
	But I'll tell you what, the next video I'm going to do, I'm just going to do some sort of piss tape video.
	So someone sent me something stupid that someone relatively important has said so I can mock it heavily because everything's been really fucking serious recently.
	And I'd like to just mock the shit out of some people for a bit.
	But yeah, by the way, after the, oh, we need a press X to skip combat button.
	You that is just the worst idea I could possibly imagine.
	How was that people not laughed out of the room?
	I just sorry, did you just say we should skip combat?
	Yeah, because some gamers or some people playing the game might not like combat.
	It's like, are you sure you know why people play video games?
	Yeah, Stefan Molly, he seems like a serpent.
	I don't like the way he the thing about Molly, right?
	I watched a few of his radio call-in interviews.
	And one of the things I found really dislikable about him, this was about a year ago now.
	One of the things that I really found dislikable about him was the fact that he almost treated the people phoning in to talk to him as if they were attacking him.
	And it was really weird.
	It was just like he'd get suddenly defensive.
	They'd say something.
	And instead of like trying to understand their position, he would kind of attack them for having the wrong position.
	And he'd get very defensive.
	And yeah, and I was just like, that's really weird because these people absolutely, they phone in and the first thing they say is, oh man, I love you.
	I love your show.
	It really helps me.
	And all this sort of stuff.
	And then he treats them as if they're hostile.
	And I found that very bizarre.
	I don't know why anyone would do that.
	You know, yeah, I want a lot of people shot.
	No, I don't want you shot.
	I just want you smothered with a pillow.
	But to be fair, though, who doesn't want one new shot?
	He's a bit of a prick, isn't he?
	I don't like him.
	But there are a lot of people who don't like him.
	So no, no, no surprise.
	Yeah, I'm actually death wings.
	I'm trying to hold back on how much I tell people that I say these fucking people because it really is.
	These fucking people are just the worst.
	I didn't see Stefan's response to Emma Watson.
	I am actually subscribed to him on YouTube.
	I just never watch his shit.
	I see something come up and go, oh, that looks boring.
	Or that looks stupid.
	Or that looks like it's a cultie thing.
	And yeah, I don't get on Molly New stuff.
	I can't even be bothered to deconstruct his shit.
	It's just like, you know, I don't have five hours to do it.
	Yeah, Thunderfoot did a good job.
	Thunderfood did a good job, as you've put.
	I like that a bit.
	You've got to tell me what, well you've got to say what you wanted me to see.
	Um, what bring out the expanding pair?
	I did not see Rogue's debate.
	Could someone tweet me a link to it?
	Was it good?
	Was it bad?
	Um, yeah, with rogues, rogue, everyone's like, Oh, he's going off the rails, and he is a bit, and I can see why.
	Um, maybe I should talk to him or something because the thing is, everyone in Digra has come out, you know, they they were initially very worried, saying, Oh my god, uh, I should own sub tomorrow, I don't know why I don't.
	Um, but some of the people are like, Oh my god, you know, Digra, they're a really bad thing, and they are, they are a really bad thing.
	Um, but I don't think we actually need to go after them any further now because I'm going to do one more video on it just to show everyone exactly what Digra's position on being a feminist think tank and ideal, ideologically driven um propaganda machine that they are.
	And they've completely closed ranks, they're feminists to people, but if you're going to come out and say it, then brilliant, that saves me a lot of work.
	And then, you know, if everyone just tell of them, look, they're psychotic, they're feminist ideologues and they're obsessed with um pushing feminism.
	And it's okay, well, if that's the case, then we don't need to go any further with Digra, we just need to say, if if Digra brought up, just be like, Yeah, that's the feminist think tank that they're trying to put feminists into games.
	I'm not interested in them, so fuck them, you know.
	You know, oh, Digra helped me this game, okay.
	I'm not interested in my game, you know, just avoid them, just boycott in all forms.
	You know, if someone says, Oh, we've got someone from Digra, say, No, I'm not interested, not interested at all, you know, um, just not interested because that's that's the position I'm going to take on Digra now.
	Um, because I thought that this was something they might have wanted to try and like keep a secret, but I guess that they've been in the echo chamber for so long that the echoes have been bouncing around from so many directions that they're like, Oh, right, okay, well, that means that everyone must be okay with feminism.
	Then, and it's like, no, it's just that no one understands that you're you're holding fembot collectives on the internet where you peer review each other's papers and then passing them off to social justice warriors and feminists in the gaming press who are trying to push feminism themselves.
	That's the problem.
	Now, this is all out, it's just like, right, okay, well, I think you'll find a lot of people who are just like, No, we don't want that because I mean, I'm certainly one of those people, so fuck a right in the pussy.
	Who funds Digra?
	Um, I don't know, and I don't really care to be honest.
	Um, it because beyond this point, it I don't know.
	I the funding information for Digra isn't public information, and I'm trying to work from I'm gonna roll another cigarette, and I'm quite enjoying shooting the shit with you guys, by the way.
	Um, I don't do this often enough, I think.
	Um, but yeah, I think that the thing is, Digra is just a platform.
	The problem is that DIGRA isn't an organization in the traditional sense of an organization.
	Am I back into my own hangout?
	Hopefully, I'm back.
	Yeah, I can't believe that my internet connection lasted so long, to be honest.
	No, no, it's my shit.
	Internet connection.
	I'm gonna, I'm gonna, um, I'm gonna actually invest in a stable landline.
	Um, because and I know I'm shilling myself now, um, but the thing is, look, loads of loads of people have started backing my Patreon, and I think because it means I can actually do this professionally, which I mean, this is my job these days, so I should probably shill myself a bit more.
	But I'm managing to pay the rent and keep myself fed.
	And I think that I can actually at this point afford to actually splash out on some kind of actual internet connection rather than hot seating on my parents' one.
	So, um, so yeah, I'm actually gonna do that.
	I'm gonna get hopefully a fairly quick one because a friend of mine is on a different, he's on Sky or something, and yeah, I respawned.
	Um, and uh, he, if he's got if he introduces me, I can get a discount and get like a particularly fast line so I can upload a lot quicker and do live streams more often and more reliably and stuff like that.
	And so, that all sounds like a good idea.
	I'm thinking, uh, I'm thinking of doing it, you know.
	I think I can, I think I can uh I can afford to at this point.
	And if everyone then suddenly pulls their support of me, I'm like, fuck.
	I'll have to get a fucking job and I won't be able to do research all day.
	Because I tell you what, right?
	Research takes a hell of a long time.
	Takes a hell of a long time.
	You've got to read so much shit.
	And you have to, yeah, I'm going to do a King Pop.
	No, I don't live with my parents.
	I've got my own flat.
	I don't own it.
	I rent it, obviously.
	And I rent it because it's cheap.
	But I don't remember where I was going.
	Yeah, the research takes a long time.
	And the thing is, a lot of the time you've got to watch videos, which I know it sounds, oh, you know, watching videos, but I have to watch social justice videos to bring you the bits that are actually important.
	And yeah, it pissed me off.
	I'm too damn old.
	I'm 35.
	And I tell you what, I don't want to have to get a job again.
	So I'm literally going to work as hard as it takes to make this successful.
	And at the moment, it's going all right because I'm actually managing to produce good content, I think, that is relevant and actually helps people form arguments against the kind of bullshit that's going on.
	So yeah.
	Yeah, so that's it.
	King of Poles commented on my Rome video.
	Sponsors do not suck, Sargon.
	I'll teach the ways of Roanoke.
	King, I will fuck you up.
	Honestly, there will be no amount of shekels that will save you from me.
	What was Milo talking about?
	Sorry, I missed that.
	Oh, what?
	Two people have downvoted my Rome video?
	God damn it, you bastards.
	I can't believe that fucking Optium and what's his name?
	Beta Ape or whatever his name is, they're both online at the same time.
	I thought they were the same person.
	You know, they're all full of sock accounts and shit.
	What?
	I can't choose a thumbnail.
	God damn it.
	I need to find a thumbnail for my room, too.
	Really?
	What?
	I love the way that Google gives you kind of a random selection of buttons.
	You do want web, news, video, shopping.
	Can I have images?
	No, that's off on the side.
	I'm afraid.
	that's to the side and you don't need to know about that.
	Sorry, I'm just sorting this thumbnail out because professionalism.
	I don't know.
	It pisses me off seeing like the sort of this video doesn't have a thumbnail image.
	It's a two-minute job.
	I should stop being a lazy cunt.
	Right, there we go.
	Sorry.
	Were Anita's official incomes...
	I have no idea.
	Yeah, I should.
	That's the thing, right?
	I should.
	I might just start shilling hard and just put tits on the thumbnail of all my videos because that, I mean, that's clicks, guaranteed, man.
	Fucking clicks.
	But the thing is, I learned something about YouTube a while ago is that the thing with YouTube is it's actually done on video retention, how much audience retentions are and how much of the video your audience watches these days.
	Because they went through a time when it was based on just the clicks.
	And lo and behold, tits sprang up everywhere.
	So, but yeah, that's interesting.
	If someone can find that, I mean, I imagine it's registered in Canada, isn't it?
	No, I'm not on the DOL.
	I don't receive any government funding at all.
	In fact, I'm actually paying back the local council for three years, apparently three years, of housing benefit that I apparently received when I was unemployed for six months.
	But unfortunately, I've moved house and I cannot, for the life of me, find the information that would prove that I don't owe it.
	So now I'm paying it back at like £5 a month for like two grand.
	So it's like, okay, great.
	I probably shouldn't be saying all this, but yeah, it's just like, you know, I don't receive any money from the government whatsoever, which makes it all the more ironic when, you know, like bewildered ape and stuff say stuff like, oh, I hope you declare your Patreon to the government.
	It's like, yeah, I pay my own taxes, you dicks.
	You know, last year I actually got a tax rebate, which was nice.
	But that's how little I earn, is that they're giving me money back from previous years because I earn so fucking little.
	But if I put my boobs on the thumbnail, no one would watch it because my boobs are large and hairy.
	And, you know, that's not quite good enough.
	just need to be large yeah I am actually a chick with a deep voice and a penis and testicles so So if I could magically become a hot woman, would I?
	Probably not, because it's a sliding scale.
	You start hot, but you just keep going downwards.
	And you have to deal with periods.
	You have to deal with hysteria.
	You have to deal with a lot of things that women have to deal with, which aren't oppression, but are just the consequences of nature.
	And I don't particularly want to have to deal with the consequences of nature for women.
	I've got to deal with the consequences of nature for being a man.
	And I've accepted these.
	And no, unfortunately, my tits are not bigger than boobies, but I am confirmed as a land whale.
	Do I think the focus of gaming journalism should shift in the light of YouTube and video making written reviews pretty much moot?
	It's a good question.
	Well, I don't think I have to pay Patreon anything.
	I think that they take a percentage of anything that people give to me, but I don't have to personally pay them anything.
	But sorry, the question about journalism and YouTube.
	I think that they're media that's consumed in different ways.
	So I think that there'll always be both.
	I think that videos are very good for when you're just sat chilling on your computer.
	If you've got two monitors, then you whack a video on the other monitor and then you'll play a game or do whatever you're doing.
	But like when you're out on your phone, like you might be at work.
	This is what I did when I was at work.
	I just basically spend half an hour in the toilet reading through articles on my phone.
	And I'm pretty sure a lot of other people do that too.
	Because work sucks, man.
	And yeah, so I think that they're consumed in different ways.
	So I think they'll always exist.
	So I don't think that they need to change.
	The thing, the thing about the YouTubers, I said on, I think it was King of Pulse stream with Eric Kane the other day, is that they my channel represents me, you know, me as a person.
	I am the one, I am the sole person who is responsible for what goes on my channel.
	And so this kind of forces me to hold myself to a higher standard anyway, because I can't just hide behind it was Kotaku or it was rock paper shotgun.
	You know, that, and that's how people think for it.
	Really thinks too much, or you know, they do, but less focused on the individual author of an article.
	Whereas the individual author of a video is very much responsible for their own work because they don't work behind a banner.
	So, you know, I think that this in itself kind of forces YouTubers to be inherently more not all YouTubers, but it definitely puts a pressure on YouTubers to make sure that they've got their shit straight.
	You know, whereas the journalists who work for these giant game sites, they don't have to do that.
	They don't have to do that at all.
	And that's the difference.
	That's why you've got people like Total Biscuit who are fucking rock solid, man.
	You know, I love Total Biscuit.
	I think he's the fucking Don.
	He's just really impressed me in recent months.
	And I'm sure there are others who are on the same side.
	I don't actually watch a lot of video games journalism on YouTube and stuff.
	If I'm interested in the game, I'll just go and get it or I'll, you know, I'll watch a Let's Play or something.
	So I don't really follow them.
	But I think that I personally would go to a YouTuber rather than a video game website because with a YouTuber, I can see the damn game being played.
	What was the game a few years ago?
	The 40k game that Total Biscuit played the demo of.
	And he was getting really into it.
	I left a comment on the video because I was just like, man, this Let's Play is fucking amazing.
	And I think it was more amazing because I found myself becoming more and more endeared towards Total Biscuit than anything else.
	The game itself looked good.
	I like the look of it.
	But the fact that Total Biscuit was just such a gamer came out so much.
	He was just like, oh my God, this is exactly how I'd want to play.
	This is amazing.
	And it was just like, yeah, mate, I'm feeling you.
	I'm really fucking feeling you.
	I need to get that game.
	It's probably quite old now because I don't keep up.
	That's the thing.
	I'm always, I work on stuff.
	You know, for the past like six years, I've been practicing making games and stuff.
	And I might actually download drones again to play it myself because I really enjoyed the way it works and stuff.
	But anyway, but it was the fact that he was getting into it so much.
	Yeah, Space Marine, I think it was.
	And it was just, it was just fucking awesome.
	And I was loving the review.
	And I wanted to have him do a longer one of the actual full game rather than just playing demo.
	Because goddamn, I was enjoying him trying to remain reserved and unbiased about it.
	But the tabletop gamer in him coming out, you know, too much was very endearing.
	I liked it a lot.
	I think Jessica's response from me was very good.
	I think that he raised very good points.
	But the question isn't whether Jessica's really right or not.
	It's more, am I prepared to be wrong to avoid getting absolutely defamed and destroyed almost by the social justice press and the social justice warriors themselves in false flagging and all that sort of stuff.
	So, I mean, yeah, what Jessica was saying was absolutely right, but I'm sure that everyone can understand that it was a tactical move designed, that the message was designed for those people and not us.
	But I have to say it as if it was for us because it was a tactical move and they know it's a tactical move, but it was still something I did, so they can't take that away from me, you know.
	And like I said, I'd much rather answer to you guys than answer to them, because at least I'll get a fair hearing with you guys, you know?
	Yeah, and yeah, Tower of Biscuit had surgery yesterday, and I really hope it went well, because I really want...
	I've become a regular viewer of his videos, and I really want him to get back on his feet, because he's a good bloke, a top bloke, actually, as far as I can tell.
	So uh, let's have a quick look at twitter.
	Calm my tits.
	I do need to calm my tits, um.
	What was someone said?
	Something about Milo?
	Um said about something I. What can someone um say that again?
	Thanks, Scrub Monkey.
	When I was making that video, right, I got about halfway through it.
	And then I realized I hadn't actually said anything in the video.
	And then I thought, well, I don't actually need to say anything.
	I can just let Anita continue talking in this bit and this bit and this bit.
	And then suddenly it got to the end and it was just like, well, okay, I don't need to say anything.
	I tell you one day, movie Bob, has anyone seen his, I watch his videos because I like to infuriate myself.
	And has anyone seen the latest one where he goes on about, he goes on about, I don't know it's, it's fucking just so hilarious he he, he's got his like characters which are just okay, all right, I can.
	I can accept they're cringeworthy, but I can accept them, right.
	And and I love how much movie Bob thinks of himself uh, and he he, he.
	He says to, um.
	He says to the anti-thinker, um, you're an adult, turn your cap around the right way.
	And it's just like.
	Bob, have you watched any of your own videos?
	Are you really in a position to go around saying to people, look, you're an adult, do things in the right way, or do this, that and the other, you know he, he's really fucking not.
	And I really should watch that stream.
	If someone can tweet it to me, that'd be great.
	Um, but in his latest one he's like I don't know, arguing with some personification of the devil and he says, well, when I was young we didn't really call ourselves gamers, we called ourselves players and it's like that's right toe, the toe, the party line.
	Bob, you know, no one's gonna start.
	The only people are gonna start calling themselves players, the fucking social justice warriors.
	Because I mean, is it just me, or does the, the word player seem decidedly passive?
	You know the saying that you're a gamer, it kind of it.
	For me it and I'm not speaking for anyone else, it's just me but I always put it in mind of someone proactively going out and trying to conquer a game.
	You know I want to beat this game.
	I'm a gamer, I'm going to beat this game on its own terms because I'm better than this game, or I'm going to beat my opponent on equal footing.
	You know, in this game, you know we'll start at level one.
	We'll start with the pistol.
	Let's go.
	You know I'm going to own.
	You know it's.
	It's very much proactive and it's for yourself.
	You know you, but being a player, it just kind of it gives me implications of being talked down to by this amazing game.
	And you play it and you let the experience wash over you and you just play it and you sit in awe of this game.
	It's like no no, that's not.
	That's really not how I approach games at all and I don't I, I don't.
	I don't like the term player either, you know, and not not player as in a pickup artist version of player, but like players of games.
	But it's Just, it's this retconning of history that they always want to do.
	No one calls themselves fucking players.
	You know, player wasn't anything that people ever called themselves, but they adopt it because it sounds passive.
	You know, the player of a game.
	Oh, well, yeah.
	Gamer, someone who's trying to beat the game and trying to destroy their opponents.
	You know, that's that's how I picture games anyway.
	But I don't speak for anyone there, so yeah.
	I'm a hardcore player does make you sound like a womanizer.
	Um, but yeah, it does say it sounds like someone sitting around the sandpit doing fuck all rather than actively trying to fucking win.
	But yeah, you're right.
	I think Ian is absolutely right.
	Player is gamer plus.
	That's what that's what it is.
	It's gamer plus.
	I'm a player.
	I'm not a gamer.
	It's like, okay, well, that sucks for you because gamers seem to want to win.
	Is it racially charged?
	I don't.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, it just they just seem to be drones.
	You know, they really do.
	They seem to just want to sit there and.
	And it was there's a stream with Kos when he was like, I want to.
	What did he say?
	He said, I want to be.
	I know.
	It's like they want their hands held through the game, you know.
	What I'll do is I'll play the game and I won't.
	It's like internet asteroid.
	I listened to some of his stream yesterday, and one of the things that he said was one of the things he likes doing in games, and I like doing this too, is finding where you're not supposed to be.
	You know, you want to kind of try and break the game to a certain degree, where you go and get up on a ledge that you're not supposed to get up onto and see if there's anything there.
	Has anyone played Dungeon Lords?
	I really, really enjoyed the game Dungeon Lords.
	And one of the things I really enjoyed doing was skipping over vast amounts of trekking by spending that same time trying to hop over a mountain.
	And eventually you could fucking get there.
	But it's literally, it took about as much time as it did running around.
	But yeah, it's just the thing, isn't it?
	You know, you've got the boundaries and the rules, and you're trying to break the rules.
	You're trying to get around the boundaries.
	And you're trying to game the game.
	You're trying to game it to give you a more optimum result than anyone else is possible to get from the game.
	And that's a sense of accomplishment that I get from it.
	And players seem like the sort of people who'll just go and do exactly what they're supposed to do because the game's told them to do it rather than trying to do what they want to do in the game.
	So yeah, I don't like the term player at all.
	It's incredibly passive to me.
	And I think it really is just like a gamer plus, you know, player.
	it's one of those things I think people need to be aware of Jen woman from the Guardian set off she pretended to retire 3d games oppress women because of spatial awareness
	I would really like it if someone could send me that link because that sounds like a this weekend stupid candidate, if ever there was one.
	Spatial awareness is oppressive, is it?
	The thing is, this is what they seem to be railing against, is just biology and nature.
	It's just, okay, well, I'm really sorry that women are not as good as men at spatial awareness, but it's not my fault.
	And frankly, it's not my fucking problem.
	So how about you go away and play Scrabble or something?
	You know, I don't know.
	Kenneth Christianson, gamer plus, because we can't just play games.
	I love Matt Lee's.
	He's such a bell end.
	I just, I think I might have bullied him in school.
	I'm wearing boxer shorts and yeah, I am smoking.
	But yeah, seriously, Matt Lee is just like, oh, God.
	I just don't know why people sign up to this bullshit.
	It's just, no, I just smoke roll-ups because I'm a stig.
	I don't know why people sign up to this bullshit.
	And I know they must think they're doing the right thing.
	They must think they're doing the right thing.
	But I don't see how they can't see that forcing their views onto other people is a bad thing.
	It's a violation of their own self-determination, you know?
	And the last thing I want to do is violate someone else's right to self-determination.
	So I'm more than happy to leave everyone else alone as long as they leave me alone.
	And I think, frankly, if everyone just spent a lot more time leaving each other the fuck alone, the world would be a much happier place.
	I would love for the social justice warriors to say, look, what we're going to do is set up our own social justice sites, or we can declare the ones that we've got social justice warriors.
	And, you know, we don't want anything that's not social justice.
	And I'd be like, great, you guys have a great time.
	You know, everyone else can go to some place where they're actually talking about the games instead.
	But I am talking about games.
	How is my Matt Lee's impression, by the way?
	so i was told that i sound a lot like him so i'm trying to sound even more like him now yeah and what the with matt lee's
	I saw Charlie Brooker on a TV program recently.
	I can't remember what it was.
	But he's got like, he's got like a halfway house version of Matt Lee's haircut.
	And it's just like, God, what is it that does this to all these people?
	Man, I used to nail Blood Bowl.
	I had a Chaos team.
	I had a few teams, but my favorite one was my Chaos one because I got the Minotaur and the Strength 4 Chaos Warriors.
	And my fuck.
	My God, they are so fucking good.
	And the Beastmen get plus one strength when they charge.
	So I just, I didn't really spend all that much time worrying about the ball.
	I just spent a lot more time worrying about pounding the opposition in dust.
	And that, yeah, I really enjoyed it.
	And I'll tell you, when I was 21, 22, I sold all of my Warhammer stuff.
	I sold all of my Bloodbolt stuff.
	I sold all my Games Workshop stuff.
	And I was, and I thought at the time I was doing the right thing.
	So I thought, oh, I'm not going to need this again.
	You know, because I was like, oh, you've got to start growing up and stuff.
	And after about 10 years of doing that, I thought, hang on, this is bullshit.
	Why did I do all this?
	I love those things.
	And so, yeah, I'm glad my Matt Lee's impression is good because I'm going to use it in the future.
	But because games were something I did in the past.
	It's just like, why did, you know, I don't know why I fucking gave up.
	I don't know why.
	And a few years ago, I got back into, I got back into 40k.
	I bought a bunch of 40k stuff, a chaos army, obviously.
	And a friend of mine got a grey knight army and he repeatedly whipped me with his grey night army because fuck me.
	Fuck him.
	It's the range thing.
	You've got to roll a few D6 and then that's your range that you can fire at.
	And it's just like, shit.
	But I haven't had time to play it, unfortunately.
	And shit, life gets in the way, doesn't it?
	So that's exactly knock every player unconscious, then you win.
	That was exactly my strategy because I don't really know anything about sports games.
	Yeah, I've still got a bunch of Magic the Gathering cards.
	Magic the Gathering.
	When I started developing Necromancer, I made the executive decision to stop playing Magic the Gathering, which was a shame because the new sets come out and it looks amazing.
	It looks fucking cool.
	Yeah, I've heard that the new 40k rules are done down.
	I've still got one of the old rule books, so I just use that.
	But like, what is it?
	Fourth edition or fifth edition DD.
	DD, for me, second edition was fine, but it was excessively complicated.
	Armour class being negative is just retarded.
	So when third edition came out, I was actually really, really pleasantly surprised because everything was just a lot smoother and made more sense, but they still had a good deal of complexity to it.
	So 3.5 edition DD for me is the one to stick with.
	Apparently, a friend of mine's been running a campaign in is it fourth or fifth edition now?
	I can't remember.
	But in the latest version, and he said it's basically like World of Warcraft on pen and paper.
	And it's like, well, that's dull as all shit because who wants to play World of Warcraft on pen and paper when you could just play World of Warcraft?
	But yeah, and then the thing about DD is I've always tried to run like organic worlds.
	So if the players do something, someone else will be affected by that.
	And so it might have a knock-on effect that they're not really expecting.
	And stuff like that.
	I don't like the sort of very scripted, okay?
	You go from dungeon A to dungeon B, you kill the dragon, then you deliver the treasure and all that stuff.
	I found that very boring.
	I like to, it's a lot more like Game of Thrones are DD sessions.
	I've actually been thinking about doing some sort of Twitch live stream DD sessions with my friends, but the thing is, it's about being able to do them reliably on a certain day each week or each month.
	Because I've been told I'm a really, really good DM by practically everyone, and which is why I never get to play as a fucking player run the DM.
	But I've been thinking about doing it just because honestly, I'd like to have it chronicled because, yeah, I don't play wow.
	I'd like to have it chronicled because there's so much epic shit that went down in our old campaign that I forget it.
	You know, and then one of my old players says, oh, do you remember the time when this and this happened?
	I'm like, no, I actually don't remember that.
	Sorry, man.
	You know, and that sucks.
	But yeah, definitely my DD games are a lot more like Game of Thrones.
	And because I serious question time, does the universe have universal or infinite privilege?
	I think that the universe is probably male, and therefore it obviously has infinite privilege.
	Even when the last white male is standing in a zoo on Earth, he will still have white male privilege because they're mental.
	Backloggamer, isn't that the job of the DM to craft the world?
	It is, but it's the problem is the mechanics.
	The mechanics apparently have been.
	I don't know.
	I'm only hearing this from someone else's account, but apparently it just plays like World of Warcraft would.
	And I'm not a World Warcraft player.
	I don't begrudge World Warcraft players.
	Good for them.
	I'm glad they've got something they enjoy.
	It's just not for me.
	And so, you know, it's not my bag, daddy-o.
	I'm not really from any area of England.
	I'm a forces brat.
	So I've been around.
	I've seen things, man.
	I've got PTSD from Twitter.
	Should the UK leave the EU?
	Everyone should leave the EU.
	I'll tell you what, Germany should leave the EU.
	But yeah, the UK, yeah, the EU is.
	Just watch the uni, just watch some of the European Parliament things broadcast.
	They are just, I think, Gorbachev was like, you've done a really good job remodeling the Soviet Union in Europe or something like that.
	And it was just like, yeah, the EU is a shithole and it's full of people who they're professional bureaucrats.
	They're academics, they're bureaucrats, and they think that they know better for everyone when, in fact, they have no idea that they're sending everyone down the new road to totalitarianism.
	And so, yeah, it's just terrible.
	It's terrible.
	And I don't understand.
	The thing is, there is a definite drive towards globalism in the political class as a whole.
	There's no getting around it.
	They are the ones who mention the words new world order all the time.
	They always say it.
	I'm going to do a video on this.
	I got about halfway through doing a video of it a while ago and I never finished it.
	But just a collection of politicians talking about the new world order and how that sounds brilliant.
	And it's okay.
	Let's fair, right?
	Let's.
	We all know you're talking about global government.
	We all know you are.
	You know, you're very obviously talking about global government.
	And I'm not actually against the idea of global government.
	It probably would be useful.
	The problem is the people who are going to be creating and orchestrating this global government are going to be nefarious motherfuckers who I think probably need to be overthrown in some kind of revolution.
	These people, they're not good people.
	They're fucking awful people.
	And I don't want them in charge.
	I really don't want them in charge.
	Most of them are incredibly ideologically driven, you know, and most of them hate humanity as well.
	This kind of worship of the earth, I get frustrated with it.
	It's like, yeah, okay, I don't want to pollute shit, but I also don't think that we need to just leave the earth in some stupid, pristine condition where it's untouched because no one cares.
	You know, that's not, the earth doesn't give a fuck if we dig some minerals out of it.
	You know, the earth is just like, it's not crying.
	It's not going, oh my God, my PTSD, I'm having flashbacks.
	You know, it's not, you know, these people are idiots.
	And I read an article a while ago about some asteroid mining.
	And one of the comments under it was like, yeah, but you know, we should leave these things pristine and untouched.
	And it's like, for who?
	For fucking who?
	You know, why would we leave these things pristine and untouched?
	These are resources that are there that no one else needs, that no one else is using.
	Why wouldn't we use them?
	I don't understand the mindset, frankly.
	But yeah, power doesn't corrupt, the corrupt seeks power.
	Well, I think that's a I think that's probably true both ways, to be honest.
	I think power does corrupt, but I also think that corrupt people do obviously look for power.
	And I am most certainly a captain planet villain.
	I care about people rather than abstract concepts like the environment.
	I gotta get the answer.
	Is that an abstract concept?
	Maybe not.
	But, you know, I mean, obviously, we shouldn't pollute the environment we fucking live in.
	But goddamn it, come on.
	There are some really crazy environmentalists out there.
	And yeah, they piss me off just as much as anyone else.
	And you know, I've been oppressed by grafting my whole life.
	What do I think about colonizing Mars?
	I think there's no way in hell I personally would colonize Mars.
	I've had this conversation with other people.
	So, oh, should we go to Mars?
	It's like, well, you can go to Mars.
	I said, why don't you want to go?
	Because there's nothing there.
	There's nothing on Mars.
	If I want to go get a burger, where am I going to go on Mars?
	There's nothing on Mars for me.
	I might go there in 20 years' time when there are cities there and stuff.
	But until then, I have no desire to go.
	Do I think social justice warriors and feminists actually believe all the insane ideas they keep pushing, or is it just stuff to make up for attention and influence?
	Um, I think that the fact that it gets attention and influence is definitely why they do it.
	But I also think they have probably persuaded themselves that all of these things are true.
	I suspect that they really think that a lot of it's true.
	Um, because the thing, that's what I was trying to get across earlier.
	Is I don't think that I don't think many of them are actually liars.
	Um, I think a lot of them are probably well-meaning idiots.
	Um, I have heard of Agenda 21, but that's only because I watch a lot of conspiracy theory videos.
	Um, I don't know anything about it, to be honest.
	I've just heard that it's some sort of depopulation plan, and frankly, I wouldn't be all that surprised.
	Um, one of the things, uh, there's this guy on YouTube called Thinker Thunka, and he's he's one of those sort of um he does he does Bigfoot stuff, and it's and I'm not saying there's a Bigfoot, um, but he does um good like video analysis of the actual videos of Bigfoots.
	And I only discovered this guy the other day, and he's really he's a really nice guy, you know, he's the sort of guy you'd like to hang out with, have a beer with.
	He seems like a decent fellow, which is why I'm mentioning him now.
	And he does a really decent job, but he's got like um uh editing software that obviously professional film people have, so he can like stabilize pictures to keep like the image of the Bigfoot in frame and all that sort of stuff.
	And he can zoom in and you know, do all the technical wizardry that I can't do, and so it's really interesting to watch.
	And you know, some of them look like they genuinely are like great apes and stuff like that.
	And so, I don't know, you know, but all I can say is there do appear to be an awful lot of people in gorilla suits running around in the world in the woods.
	There are loads, there are fucking loads of them, you know.
	So, as far as I can see, we've either there are some sort of Bigfoots, or there are a lot of people who are keeping the gorilla costume industry going.
	You know, I don't know where these people make all these costumes, I don't know where they buy them from, but they're very busy running around in the woods.
	Um, but yeah, no, I don't know anything about Bigfoot or anything like that, and I don't really care to be honest.
	I'm just I'm not really a big fan of wandering around the woods at night in my own these days, though.
	What really happened on 9/11?
	Jews, I don't know.
	I tell you what, I don't think it was Arabs with box cutters.
	There's a video circling around about the people who made the World Trade Center because the World Trade Center isn't that old, really, or wasn't.
	And they were basically like, Well, it's weird because it was supposed to take multiple plane impacts without collapsing.
	It was built like a fly net or something where you could poke a hole in it, but it wouldn't compromise the integrity of the structure.
	And Building 7, Building 7 was never hit by a plane, and that went straight down as well into its own footprint.
	So, I frankly find it very, very, very unlikely that it was Arabs with box cutters hijacking planes.
	I just don't, that for me, I don't, I don't know what it was, but I'm sure it wasn't that.
	So, um, I don't really care about the Jews, just to clarify.
	I they're just people like any others, you know, alien social justice warrior Jews from Mars.
	I need internet aristocrat to do his um Jewish impression about now, I think.
	Um, but no, I've got I've got friends who are Jews, I've got friends who aren't Jews, I don't really care, you know, as long as I try to treat people as individuals.
	Um, if you guys have to keep shooting the shit, I'm just going to grab another cup of tea.
	So I need to, I need to get my adverts going.
	King of Paul, how do you get adverts on your streams?
	I need those shekels.
	I really need to ask Tones or Biscuit what brand of tea he uses.
	i'm sure it uses a top quality brand yeah i don't care about the cheese really Meta self.
	It's all about individuals.
	There are plenty of Jews.
	I mean, there are loads of like anti-Zionist Jews because, again, it's like all things.
	It's not right.
	It's not really like, you can't really say the Jews, you know, it's because it's a group made up of individuals.
	It's more ideologues.
	I suppose it's ideologies that are doing honest.
	I mean, was it Joe Biden who was saying that he's, well, Zignu Brzezinski, I think, who's saying how he's not a Jew, but he thinks Zionism's a great thing and all this sort of thing.
	It's like, well, I'm not really in favor of it because you've got an ism on the end.
	So, no, I'm not down with that.
	Just take individual issues as they come.
	Look at the facts, determine the best possible outcome for the most number of people, what seems just and fair and right, and then just do that.
	Or you could just lump loads of issues into one category, call yourself a thing, couldn't you?
	Twinnings, yeah, now that is a good tea.
	Unfortunately, I'm not hype right now, actually, but I might.
	I could disappear.
	But yeah, thanks.
	I appreciate the, I appreciate that you guys can appreciate how much work goes into what I'm doing, actually.
	I've got to say, and I don't want to like, oh, I'm so great or anything, but I really do put a lot of hard work into what I do, you know.
	Which is why people are like, oh, but you've got a Patreon.
	I was like, yeah, but I'm not conning people out of their money.
	I didn't go to any goddamn teleseminars.
	You can tell because I'm not on stage making thousands.
	Oh yeah, Brzezinski, he is absolutely on the same level as Kissinger.
	These people are monsters.
	They don't care about people.
	They really don't.
	And that's my thing.
	That's actually, if anyone wants to know who to vote for, basically, just ask yourself who cares about me the least and don't vote for them.
	Because none of them care about you.
	None of them give a fuck.
	Look at Obama, right?
	Obama has checked the fuck out, man.
	He literally comes out of the White House, he gives a two-minute speech about whatever the latest bullshit that's going on in the world is.
	And then he just walks off and then gets on a plane and goes and plays golf.
	And he's like, you know, high-fiving with other businessmen and stuff, playing golf, and he's just having a great time.
	And it's just like, wow, that guy doesn't give a fuck.
	If that were me, I would at least be sat in the White House making it look like I was doing some goddamn work.
	I haven't read Crossing the Rubicon, actually.
	But I probably should.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Vote Quimby because at least he admits he's corrupt.
	You know, just yeah, just just I, I just think, treat people as individuals and think about them as individuals rather than groups.
	Um yeah, because don't vote for politicians, they don't care they're, they're shills for corporations.
	These days, everyone can see it.
	I mean, there was a, there was a board, a billboard, um poster put up in Britain somewhere.
	Um I, I saw that um, someone had put put up um Clegg, Miliband and Cameron um, and just underneath it was just like, do these people, do any of these people represent you?
	And of course they don't.
	You know, they represent big business.
	And Cleg Off, you know he's, he's desperately trying to.
	Well, now we're going to try and take moral stands and it's like, no Cleg, you're not, you're a shill.
	You've sold out to the Tories, you've got cameras cock up your ass and now you're saying, hang on, everyone can see that camera's got his cock up my ass, you know.
	And no, yourself Clegg too too, too bad, and apparently he can't go back to I think it's Sheffield was his home constituency and now apparently he can't really go back there because everyone hates him.
	Uh, i'm not surprised uh, Paraclet says.
	I've already said I love Dan Carlin, i'd probably have his children um, I would bear his children.
	Uh no seriously, I would love to talk to Dan Carlin sometime because he, he is fantastic and he's very moderate not moderate, but very, very centrist.
	You know, likes to, likes to take the take.
	Take the issues as they are, rather than adopting an ideological stance, which I think more people should do, because ideologies are really shitting everything up at the moment.
	They really are, and it I, I just don't, you know I I, I want to insert feminism into gaming, I want to do this into gaming, I want to do that into gaming.
	So, just just off, just into anything really in any walk of life.
	Just feminist academics, just why you may.
	The thing is, with a label like that, you can replace it with anything and if, if the, the current zeitgeist is in favor of that thing, then it'll be acceptable.
	I mean, there were, there were Nazi scientists, you know they were Nazi academics and all that sort of, and it's just like great okay, do you want to do you want to be like that?
	I wouldn't want to be like that.
	I'd just want to be an academic.
	If I was going to be one uh, what's my opinion of the amazing Atheist, um.
	I think he's probably an all right guy.
	I I don't dislike him.
	He doesn't say anything that I particularly disagree with.
	Um, he seems like he's, he's all right.
	He can be funny when he puts the effort in.
	I think he's suffering from a bit of, like um, wear and tear.
	You know, I think he's been doing it for a long time and the thing is when, when you have to, a lot of the time you do have to kind of cover the same ground because these people, they just keep saying the same goddamn things.
	And you know, a couple of my viewers have like called me up on it, being like, you know, you sound, sound exhausted, and that's a good point.
	I'm gonna, i'm gonna try and regulate What I do a bit more so I don't burn out, you know.
	Um, I prefer to read, I like reading both fiction and non-fiction, to be honest.
	It depends on what I'm after.
	Um, I like a lot of um I like a lot of uh they're not historical fiction, but they're like historical dramatizations.
	Um, you've got like Harold Lamb and uh Tom Holland, who are just not Harold Lamb, is it?
	No, it's Harold Lamb, sorry, it is, and they do magnificent drama dramatizations of the actual events of what happened.
	Uh, one of one of my favourites is Richard the Lionheart at the Battle of Jaffa, and you realize why he was called the Lionheart.
	He was just an absolute tank on the battlefield, and the it got to the point where the Muslims were just too afraid to go and engage him because they would he just seemed terrifying as a person, you know, that he was unstoppable.
	Um, so yeah, I like that sort of stuff, but I also like you know, so that that's non-fiction, but I also like, I mean, one of my favorite series of books is The Dark Tower by Stephen King.
	Um, absolutely fantastic.
	So, yeah, I probably am ticklish, to be honest.
	Uh, Scrum Monkey, I'm a scientist and engineer.
	Objectivity is very much under attack and it's destroying learning.
	Totally agree.
	I, the, the, the, the meme of you can't be objective, so don't even try is just that is it's the journey, but not the destination, you know, it's always the journey, it's never the destination.
	The journey is the important thing.
	No, I'm going to keep smoking.
	Fuck it.
	Um, the journey is the important thing, it's you know, it's the continual process of trying that makes you good.
	And as soon as you give it up, then you lose all of the benefits of that process of trying, um, even though you may never actually reach the end.
	You've got to, you've got to keep doing it.
	And so it really fucks me off.
	And they're like, oh, you can't ever be objective, or you can never reach this plateau of pure objectification.
	So don't even bother.
	And it's like, no, that's stupid.
	That's stupid.
	And you don't even know where that road's going to lead you.
	I mean, this is the sort of mindset that results in book burnings and witch hunts, you know.
	So just fuck, no, no, absolutely not.
	You know, what happened to the Enlightenment?
	When did that become a bad thing?
	You know, good English history books.
	I don't know.
	Just Tom Holland and Harold Lamb.
	They've done books that include English history, and they're very good.
	There are lots of other good ones as well.
	I just don't get the time to read them.
	I don't actually smoke weed.
	I actually eat it in brownies.
	just so you know but um yeah i think i i prohibition doesn't work Everyone knows that.
	I don't know why we still carry on with it.
	And let's be fair, I mean, it's so less damaging than alcohol.
	I mean, I like drinking as well, but come on.
	What are my thoughts on the Sega Dreamcast?
	Is it worth getting one?
	Is that relevant question, Blazanoa?
	Isn't that a bit out of date?
	Wasn't the Sega Dreamcast out 10 years ago?
	I'm not a console gamer, so I don't know.
	If it's console, I'd say no, fuck it.
	You can do more on PC.
	PCs are bad.
	PC Master Ace, we're having you fucking console peasants.
	Squad Monkey, yeah, I would like to talk to someone about positive discrimination in academia, actually.
	I mean, I'm sure it's something that something that's really been going on for quite some time.
	If you want to tweet me, I'll message me.
	Tweet me.
	Remember, it's you.
	But yeah, so.
	I've read Mongol history.
	Yeah, I've read the secret history of the Mongols.
	It's very interesting.
	I don't know how true it is, but to be fair, it's probably fairly true.
	There's no reason for it not to be true.
	And the Mongols, they were very progressive, by the way.
	They were actually kind of progressive, to be fair.
	They weren't big on gays, but they were big on, you know, equality.
	Everyone can be equally dead.
	It doesn't matter what religion you are.
	It doesn't matter what you believe.
	Just, you know, just obey the Mongols.
	And these people are basically the Mongols of academia these days.
	What's the view of the Helsing Ultimate Abridged Virgin?
	Really?
	Tweet me a link.
	I didn't know.
	I've seen the, what was the, I've seen the, what are they called?
	The OCDs or OBCs ultimately.
	The, there was, uh, they've basically remade Helsing like dozens of times.
	And there was this one really good series, and the soundtrack to it was amazing, where it had Alexander Anderson and Alicard fighting and stuff like that.
	It's fucking amazing.
	Love that series.
	I've seen a bunch of the remakes and other things, but it's just the same story being done with less panache.
	I don't want to see a race war.
	I don't see there's any need for a race war.
	But yeah, I haven't seen it, but I mean, if it's good, then great.
	But what I want them to do really is stop going over the old comics and create some new damn cannon for the world.
	You know, it's a great, it's a great, interesting story in the world and good characters.
	You know, Walter, fucking Darn.
	Love that guy.
	The OVAs, that's it.
	The OVAs.
	But yeah, I want more canon rather than just the same story being told over and over and over.
	Yeah, I'll retweet it if someone tweets it at me, because I am interested in seeing it.
	Milo's personal proposal for a Gamergate to branch off and create a consumer watchdog.
	I think that defeating the social justice warriors is the most important thing.
	They're fighting a culture war, and so everything can come after that.
	You know, I think these are all good ideas.
	I'm sure it is good for members of Gaming Gate to do that.
	But at the moment, I really think that Gamergate should keep focused on, if I'm thinking tactically here, keep focused on the immediate battle at hand.
	You're all involved in a culture war, whether you know it or not.
	And you need to force these people out of gaming.
	They're not going to compromise.
	They're not going to compromise.
	They have to be broken.
	They have to be driven out of the temple by someone.
	These people cannot be allowed to continue on the trajectory they're on.
	I've heard from AAA developers who are like, they're creating a culture of fear.
	And they are.
	These people need to go.
	They need to just be gone.
	They're not gamers.
	By their own admission, they've got no place in the gaming industry.
	They can go to the casual gaming industry and make all that kind of shit.
	And as about smoking, I don't want to smoke it.
	It does damage you more than smoking.
	Do I have degrees?
	No, I don't.
	I went to university for about two years, decided I couldn't really be bothered and dropped out.
	I don't know.
	I don't always make wise choices.
	But the thing is, I went into computer science and I only really went into computer science because I didn't really know what else to do with my life at the time.
	And I was just like, okay, I'll do it.
	And it was boring as shit.
	But on the plus side, I understand floating point dynamics.
	So good.
	Yeah.
	So the thing, the thing with degrees is that you don't have to have a degree to know things.
	I mean, I've studied, I've listened to all of Donald Kagan's Greek seminars from Yale University.
	And I've read all of the source material that he references in those seminars.
	So realistically, aside from, I mean, I don't really know what I'm missing other than the note that says, oh, you now have a degree of Donald Kagan's history course.
	You know, that's all I'm really missing.
	And a massive fucking chunk of debt.
	You know, everything is available if you want to read it.
	You know, all the source material.
	I mean, I imagine for the STEM fields, yeah, get a degree, you know.
	But I'm not in the STEM fields, so it's not my problem.
	I'm not even in any fields, really.
	Master degree, master race, yeah, exactly.
	Am I excited for Banner Lord?
	Yes, I am.
	Can anyone confirm the multiplayer campaign?
	I've heard people say it is.
	I have say it isn't.
	And if there's one thing I goddamn want, it's a multiplayer campaign.
	And you don't need a degree to get hired.
	I've been hired in loads of jobs, doing loads of technical things, and I don't have a degree.
	I've never said I had a degree, you know.
	And so it's, yeah, it's actually not essential.
	Most employers are much more concerned with experience.
	And the thing is, I might well do a degree at some point, just to say I've got a degree.
	But I don't, do I need one?
	Do I seem like I'm misinformed or uninformed?
	Do I seem like I don't know as much of these social justice warriors who have all the degrees in the world?
	You know, I'm happy to get a degree if that'll mean something to people, but I'm just lazy and I'm busy.
	Yeah, I'm not lazy actually.
	I'm fucking busy as shit.
	What am I talking about?
	I work all the time.
	But yeah, the social justice world.
	What I think, what needs to be done is it needs to be widely recognized from their own words that they're fighting a culture war.
	That for me, I think is the if you could spread a message far and wide, you know, quote Laurie Penny saying, We're in the middle of a culture war against video game culture.
	And it's okay, great, that's great because you know, that makes you the aggressors, you know, that makes them the aggressors.
	And nobody sides with the aggressor.
	You know, nobody sides with the aggressor.
	And so it's just important to show that these people are trying to bully gamers out of their own industry.
	And that's what they're trying to do.
	And they need to be dealt with.
	They need to be absolutely crushed.
	There can't be any.
	I mean, at this point, I don't, I think they have taken this too far.
	You know, I would have been more than happy, more than happy to negotiate with them.
	And that's what I was trying to do.
	That's why I had Lana on and stuff like that.
	And that's why I had Pixie on because I thought, right, maybe, maybe some dialogue can be had.
	But they're not interested in dialogue.
	They're interested in victory.
	And I can't imagine anyone saying that they're not.
	I mean, look at what they do.
	Look at how they act.
	Look at how they treat people.
	Look at the 10 gamer art games of dead article in one day.
	They are complete and total victory.
	They want to drive out gamer culture because they hate it.
	So I think that the only option for us is victory of our own.
	We can't let them win.
	And so we need to make sure that everyone knows the character of these people.
	I think that's a bad comparison, JC Denton.
	Yeah, the aggressor had been painted as Saddam Hussein.
	Did I read Kathy Young's GameGate article in Real Clear Politics?
	No, I didn't.
	If someone can tweet that to me, I'll get on that after this.
	By aware of the company who have a social justice warrior there who want to have a skip combat button.
	Well, I thought the Liana conversation was actually all right because it shows talking to these people.
	The thing is, talking to these people shows what they're after.
	The Jenny Goodchild thing, yeah, sure, I lost the debate hard.
	You know what I mean?
	But I wasn't trying to debate.
	And it shows exactly what these people are like.
	I'm sure that a lot of people have avoided Jenny Goodchild since then because of that.
	And I'm happy to take that.
	It's okay.
	Yeah, I think they actually do hate gamer culture, Jim.
	But I think what is more is that they want to control everything.
	Because, I mean, everything they say, hegemonic masculinity is all about control.
	And it's like, well, I know that you guys are all about control.
	So I'm not surprised that you'd paint your enemies as all about control because that's what you understand.
	Programming by gaming Unity.
	So I'm just using Unity script for it because it's simple and I'm shit.
	But yeah, seriously, this extreme leftist ideology, it's more insidious than the extreme right.
	I would much rather deal with the extreme right any day of the week because they are at least upfront and honest about what they want to achieve and how they think they can achieve it.
	But the extreme left are insidious and they will use other people's smokescreen and a shield to try and, yeah, King of Paul was right on the market, but that's the thing.
	She pissed even him off, you know, not even him, but she pissed him off from the bat almost because she just wasn't interested in listening.
	And that's exactly the sort of person we're dealing with.
	So, yeah, the problem with these people is that they're not going to stop.
	They're never going to stop.
	They are financially invested in corrupting gaming with feminism.
	That's what they do.
	That's what their professions are.
	If you look at their web pages, and they've all got a fucking web page, they all say academic feminist and writer for Kotaku and all this sort of shit.
	And it's just like, great, okay.
	So, you know, when is that never going to be something you do?
	You know, when are you going to stop doing that?
	And then, well, I'm always going to do it.
	So, yeah, I, yeah, Peasant, I'll get on to Necromancer when I've got it looking nice enough to show everyone because the first bite's always with the eye, isn't it?
	I'm sure critical theory is the real enemy, but it's manifesting itself most prominently in feminism.
	And discrediting one discredits the other.
	You know, if feminists use critical theory all the time, someone else uses critical theory, then, oh, that's just like the feminists, you know.
	Everyone needs a precedent and they need just a single strong word that conjures up a lot of meaning in their minds, you know?
	And that's the thing.
	It'll become discredited when feminism is discredited.
	And if Emma Watson's speech at the UN is anything, it's clear that feminism is very much becoming discredited.
	And now it's actually trying to actively use its power.
	I did see the Zoe Quinn news, which is why I'm using text-to-speech to listen to all your comments.
	I pulled my eyes out.
	I love that.
	She must have taken those pictures back when she was younger and thinner.
	But yeah, no, she's nothing special.
	I don't know why.
	Don't know why a millionaire's kid would be bothering with her.
	I'd be getting a Fitbit, but that's me.
	I don't hate myself, though.
	I am a matter of fact.
	Why would you want to look at them?
	Morbid curiosity?
	Yeah, so I think that there's feminism is publicly discrediting itself because it's fighting on many fronts at the moment, and no one's happy about it other than the feminists.
	Which is why Emma Watson was up in front of the UN.
	If things were going swimmingly, that would never have happened.
	So, Gaming Gates, honestly, Gaming is just another war, another front on the war against social justice feminism.
	That's what it is.
	And I know I don't want to make Gamergate about feminism because it's not, but it is triggered by feminism.
	The whole thing has been caused, brought about by these fucking ideological fucknuts in academia who are just obsessing over their own fucking genitals.
	Who cares about your junk for fuck's sake?
	Apart from, you know, apart from them.
	But I'm sure that feminism, I mean, second-wave feminism seems to have had good, good intentions and good points.
	And I think realistically, if you look at society now, it pretty much is.
	Everyone is effectively a second-wave feminist.
	I mean, nobody because second-wave feminism really was more or less egalitarianism, from you know, and this third-wave feminism is just barking mad, it's fucking mental.
	I don't know what the think they don't know how counter counterproductive and counter-intuitive.
	So Quinn did fat porn with a black man, too.
	Oh, I'm sure she did.
	She is polyamorous, isn't she?
	So, yeah, it's hedge funding babies, man.
	And Watson was obviously acting at that speech.
	Just everything about it, just some people are choosing not to identify as feminists.
	Oh, good God, really, Watson.
	former Daily Dot writer suspended by Gawker for plagiarism tries to bash Gamergate who's surprised most hoplites probably would have had sex with a man at some point that's true especially Spartan ones They all had wives as well, though.
	So, you know, they didn't get off light.
	Yeah, I'm waiting for Christina Hoff Summers to tell everyone she's actually no longer a feminist because the word itself has been so corrupted.
	It's got to be only a matter of time, especially.
	I think in her last one, she was saying about calling, you know, being egalitarian, and that's what she thought feminism was.
	And yeah, it's, you know, I guess that's probably what she thought it was, and that's what it should be.
	And that probably is what it should be.
	But it's a female supremacist movement now.
	We have to do is look at Samantha Allen's page to see it.
	You know, I hate feminism.
	I hate men.
	I'm not a gender equalist.
	I'm the supremacist bullshit.
	It's like, okay, well, this is.
	And the thing is, I think this is a philosophical term called involution, where something sounds good in theory, but it turns out to be a really bad thing in practice.
	And that's what feminism is.
	You know, I don't hate the Spartans.
	I hate the fact that in Rome 2, the Spartans suck.
	And this is a strange time for me.
	It's just two in the afternoon for me.
	Ben Baker, I tell you what, that might be true.
	They may well have only fucked their wives for kids.
	Because, I mean, Socrates' wife was such a shrew, such an absolute haradon.
	One of the things that Socrates got often mocked for is how much his wife just bitched him out all the time.
	Yeah, poor old Socrates, eh?
	There's one time where a rich playboy called Alcibiades, who I'm going to do a video on.
	He's amazing.
	He brought a cake around Socrates' house to thank him for helping him or something.
	And his wife is in a big pissy and she just grabs the cake and throws it on the floor.
	And oh, thanks.
	Thanks a lot, Pitch.
	Matt Lees is absolutely controlled by his hair.
	There's no getting around it.
	There's no getting around it.
	His hair has taken root into his brain and taken over.
	Yeah, the Spartans were great in Rome one.
	In Rome one, what did that happen?
	Oh no, I'm thinking of Medieval 2.
	I used to play on the stainless steel mod from Medieval 2 a lot.
	It's fucking fucking badass.
	And, yeah, a really, really good mod.
	But, yeah, Diagra have gone full feminist, so.
	So did I pick up the Warhammer mod for Total Medieval 2?
	I did, I think.
	Oh no, I'm thinking the Lord of the Rings mod.
	And that Lord of the Rings mod, I was just, I was going to go full angry Joe on it.
	Just you dumbed up.
	Right?
	There are loads of fucking loads of fucking units that just can't break.
	And I just.
	Yeah, Socrates was a bit of a beta mana.
	But there are those units in it that, you know, they had, like, they just can't break checkbox ticked and ridiculous stats, ridiculous shit.
	It's just like, for fuck's sake, this is an awful mod.
	You know, it's an awful, awful mod.
	So I gave it up.
	I'm just going to have a quick browse on Twitter to see if anyone's tweeted me anything interesting.
	This so-called third wave of feminism is nothing more than the death rose of a failed and discredited ideology.
	Well, I agree with that.
	The article told me about the stream.
	Brilliant.
	Thanks.
	Yeah, sex lies in video games.
	Well, is this like an honest view of Gamergate?
	No.
	That's cool.
	Fat neck beard virgin.
	What have you?
	What have you just, I don't, what?
	FF?
	What's this FF hashtag?
	I don't understand.
	FF.
	Sorry, what is this?
	I don't.
	Proud of my wife who just launched a hypnotherapy service in Surrey.
	Hashtag FF.
	I don't really understand the reason for that.
	Yeah, thanks for the Kathy Young article.
	I'm going to read that as well.
	Ah, the Helsing thing.
	Thanks very much for that.
	I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to get on that.
	Oh, it's just a tease trailer.
	Son of a bitch.
	Rpg.net really suck.
	aneurysm oh what doesn't look that bad on a brief brief glance But I will take your word for it.
	I'm not going to go there again.
	Um, there we are.
	I apologize you scrump monkey.
	What are my thoughts?
	Back to the Saga Dreamcast.
	Yeah, I don't, I don't care about the Saga dream cast, i'm afraid.
	Tell me about them brownies um, i'm not eating one now because I want to remain lucid.
	Uh, i'll go back to the chat.
	Oh friday right okay, that makes sense.
	See, I don't have a nine to five job.
	This is my job.
	So I they're they're just double-edged sword.
	I work a lot more than I actually would if I had a job, but on the plus side, I don't hate.
	Mondays and fridays have kind of lost their allure.
	So you know swings and roundabouts, but i'll tell you what right, i'm really glad that you guys think i'm doing a decent job.
	I really am, because I really really like doing what i'm doing, because I I the reason I started my youtube channel, just to just to have, just to silence my own conscience and have a say in the public dialogue.
	You know, I want to be able to make points and voice some opinions, because there are so many fucking idiots voicing so many stupid opinions.
	I can't believe any of them are given credence, you know.
	So it's really nice to be able to do this professionally.
	You know, um and I I really do try to make the time and put the f in.
	I really do, um.
	Why do I love the historical figure Sagon so much um?
	Because he was a fucking badass.
	He was, just hands down, the greatest man of all of history, up until that point, as far as we know.
	So, oh god, i'm looking at the I just under the chat i've got loads of suggestions.
	And i'm getting loads of suggestions by Alex Mandosian, because I had a look at his youtube channel and then loads of Bigfoot stuff underneath.
	Be careful what you click on, seriously.
	Um, yeah yeah Sargon, he did uh, establish a bunch of laws um.
	The Hammerabi is more remembered for his code of laws though, but um yeah no, Sargon instituted laws he did um a survey of land and who owned what.
	Uh, basically the first, it was a kind of a proto-census, but it was still there and it was still important.
	Um, Asians are cars.
	Okay, that might be true.
	You've never seen ads on my channel?
	I monetize my videos, so you should get ads.
	um i'm glad i've got um glad i've got lurkers coming out to talk to me that's nice it's nice i should do these sort of things more often i like talking to you guys it's nice to it's nice to get your opinions and get your questions because it encourages me to think about different things um There were no Jews at the time when Sargon was alive.
	There were a lot of Semites, though.
	He was a Semite.
	No, he was probably looked a lot like a modern-day Iraqi looks.
	I find Pat Condol very entertaining.
	I don't agree with all of his views.
	I think that he goes too far when it comes to Islam.
	I obviously dislike radical Islam.
	I also dislike sort of imperial Islam.
	No, then the Arabs, the Arabs didn't get to Iraq until about 700 AD.
	They weren't Arabs.
	They were different.
	So, no, he wasn't the Sandigger.
	But yeah, Pat Condol's view on Islam, he's not wrong, but I think he does cherry-pick a little bit.
	So it's, but again, he's very entertaining and he does good diatribes, and I enjoy them.
	But he's one of those people that you take with a little bit of a pinch of salt.
	And you've got to understand that he is going too far.
	You know, I don't want to see anything particularly bad happen to Muslims as a whole, but I do think that some honest conversations about what Muslims in Britain are doing and in other parts of the Western world need to be had.
	What they do in their own countries is none of my business, so I don't really care.
	But witchcraft-related child beatings have increased in the UK.
	I have never heard of that.
	But I wouldn't be that surprised.
	Yeah, don't call a Persian an Arab because they get their jimmies severely rustled if you do that.
	But the thing is, I don't blame them.
	The Persians, the Iranians have got hell of an impressive history.
	I mean, Cyrus the Great was the first ruler to really be a good ruler.
	Before then, it was all just power-mad psychopaths.
	And after that, it's pretty much been power-mad psychopaths.
	But Cyrus the Great, he set a tenor for the Persian Empire, which was a lot more respectful of the people it governed over.
	And the Iranians haven't invaded anyone since about 1793.
	They haven't started a war since about 1793.
	And so they've got a very long history of being very competent rulers.
	If you were going to live under an ancient empire, you would do a hell of a lot worse than the Persians in almost every regard.
	So it wouldn't be a bad life if you had Persians ruling over you.
	It wouldn't be a bad life.
	And I think they're very aware of this.
	I think they're very, very aware of their own history and the standard it's set for Persians.
	So I haven't seen the movie The Warriors, but I have read The Anabasis.
	And the standard it's set for the Persians.
	And so I personally really hate the beating of war drums against Iran.
	I hate it because I'm not saying that Iran is some sort of fucking liberal paradise or anything, but they're not the monsters the American media would like to paint them out to be.
	They're not by any stretch of the imagination.
	And the real reason that they've got a very fundamentalist government structure at the moment is because of the installation of the Shah after the fucking CIA-backed coup of their democratically elected government.
	We did this.
	Yeah, I love Dan Carlin's Hypercohistory podcast.
	We did this.
	So it's, you know, I can see why they hate us.
	You know, I can see why they're afraid.
	And we currently completely surround them militarily.
	And it's almost just like waiting for someone to fire the first shot from the Persian side.
	300.
	No, I thought the only interesting thing about 300 was the Persian Empire.
	It was massively misrepresented, but at least it was interesting.
	I'm not really that big on looking at oiled biceps, though.
	So maybe you should ask Justica.
	He probably enjoyed it.
	Yeah, the Persians invaded Greece, but the Greeks caused a revolt in Persian territories.
	So what do you want?
	It's not like they were just looking at the Greeks going, you know what, let's fuck those guys.
	They're actually saying, hey, what's going on?
	Oh, this tiny nation called the Greeks on the outskirts of our empire inciting revolt inside our empire.
	Oh, we better go do something about it then.
	You know?
	Yeah, exactly.
	USA, fuck the Iranians.
	That's the thing.
	And the British were involved in that as well.
	So, exactly.
	And we're in no position to tell anyone how to run their country, especially when the Iranians have been running countries successfully for millennia.
	We're in no position to dictate.
	Conter Reuters, there have been 27 cases of witchcraft-related child beatings abuse.
	I did not know that.
	Well, yeah, a lot of new stuff's been happening in Gamergate.
	I've been releasing videos.
	Milo's been releasing videos.
	Internet aristocrats are doing streams.
	There's been loads of other stuff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I don't think the upper action, honestly, the US government and the power structure in America give a fuck.
	I don't think they care.
	I just don't think they care because they've got control of the media and they can just, I mean, you never see an American body on the media.
	After the Vietnam War, they learned that lesson hard.
	And so now they just control the message.
	They control the narrative and nothing good will come of it.
	Exactly, Dave.
	How close do they put their country to your military bases?
	What bastards?
	know they were afraid that mozadek would lead around to the soviets Boys, I think it's funny because I think it was something like six months before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
	The CIA were presenting papers to the president and his advisors saying how the Soviet Union was doing amazingly.
	They got in space first.
	They were doing fantastic.
	They had hundreds, millions of men under arms, all this sort of stuff.
	And then the Soviet Union collapsed the next day, sort of thing.
	And it was just like, oh, it turns out that all of that information was either deliberate misinformation or the CIA are beyond incompetent.
	So yeah, they're coming for me.
	So, I mean, I'm not willing to believe that the CIA are absolute incompetent fuck nuts.
	So, yeah, no, I think that a lot of deliberate misinformation was presented.
	The Soviet Union, I think, was always going to collapse and on itself eventually.
	Because as soon as people found out what the Soviet Union did to achieve what it achieved, they would be repulsed and horrified by it.
	And honestly, I think the same thing will happen with the US eventually.
	So it's just the cycle of empire.
	It's just what happens.
	The U.S. is, I remember a while ago, I can't remember who said it, but they said that the cycles of history were over or something like that.
	And I was just like, right, okay, that's great because hubris is one of those points at which the cycle of history starts on its downswing.
	When you start saying shit like that, do you think the Romans didn't say shit like that, you idiots?
	Yeah, the CIA are very competent drug dealers, exactly.
	The Afghan opium crop has been a bumper, hasn't it?
	But yeah, so yeah.
	I think that nation states are very sustainable.
	They're very natural.
	That's how people tend to want to organize themselves.
	So what they're doing now is not going to last.
	Even if they manage to brainwash everyone to believing it, I don't think it'll last.
	I think there'll be some inherent flaw in the system that will remain unaddressed for, you know, it could go on for decades, could go on for centuries, but eventually it will collapse in on itself, you know.
	So how much influence do I think the social justice warrior agenda has in game development on game changers?
	A fuckload.
	A fuckload.
	You know, there's like any Sarkeesians complaining about how, was it Mass Effect 3 had a female protagonist who was the absolute equal storyline and everything else with the male protagonist, and yet she's complaining that it wasn't featured on the box.
	And it's just like, yeah, that's because the people who are buying it are men.
	It's not women buying it.
	We know that from the stats.
	We know that from their own marketing.
	They've had a lot of influence because they've got what they wanted.
	But there are some things that they can't change.
	Male's hair works for the CIA.
	Peanut, well, the Project for a New American Century.
	Yeah, I've watched my conspiracy documentaries.
	I imagine that there's a lot of truth to a lot of this stuff.
	I imagine you've got people like Zignu Przeynski and he looks like a spud and I've forgotten his name.
	Hitchens criticized him.
	Fuck me.
	You know the guy.
	Vietnam War.
	Henry Kissinger.
	I can't believe it took me so long to get his name there.
	Yeah, I think that people like that definitely have a plan.
	I think that the neocons have definitely got plans in the background that they're working towards because I think, honestly, I think these people are trying to take over the world.
	I know it sounds crazy, but I think they are.
	It looks like they are.
	If I were doing the things they were doing, I would think that my intention would be to take over the world.
	I've done a video called Classified that I recommend people watch because the American government seems to be operating on the old British imperial strategy of the two-power standard.
	But instead of the two-power standard, they've got the world power standard, where they've got the same military budget almost as the entire rest of the world.
	So if the rest of the world decides that the US is actually the problem and needs to be dealt with, they did a strategic analysis a while ago, and their analysis was it would be a draw if the world ganged up on the United States.
	So, I mean, I don't know how true that is or anything like that, but that's what they say.
	So there we go.
	Dark times ahead, I'm afraid, guys.
	Dark times ahead.
	But I've heard of gender generally.
	I read all this conspiracy stuff because, I mean, like Aristotle said, you know, it's the mark of an educated mind to entertain an idea without believing it.
	And, you know, I can entertain all of these things and they might be true.
	They might not.
	I don't know.
	But I'm only really concerned about what I can prove, you know?
	So it's, you know, it's entertaining.
	I kind of treat conspiracy theories like science fiction.
	You know, they're entertaining.
	And if you can prove one, they're great, you know.
	But if you can't prove one, then it doesn't matter, does it?
	I have not heard of Yuri Bezmenov, but I'm gonna Google him now.
	If you've got an information, do tweet it.
	yeah very interested in very interested in hearing anything he had to say um the u.s turned evil after the break of the soviet union while Well, I don't want to say evil.
	I do watch Storm Cloud Gatherings videos.
	Some of them are good, some of them are not so good.
	The US, I think that there have always been people in the US government who are strategists.
	And I think they've always looked at the US's strategic position and realized that what they basically have is the same strategic position Britain had in the Napoleonic Wars.
	It was essentially untouchable.
	No one's going to be landing an army, a French army in Britain anytime soon.
	And in the same way that no one's going to be landing a Russian army in America anytime soon.
	So I think they've looked at it.
	And one of the things about post-World War II is that the US was absolutely instrumental in breaking up the British Empire.
	And I don't, I don't blame them.
	It was an old, the United States has got a much better imperial system.
	They.
	They've got an imperial system that relies on money rather than governance.
	And that's subversive.
	It's behind the scenes.
	So when people get angry about the state of their country, they get angry at their politicians rather than the people who are actually causing the problem.
	And so those politicians are deposed.
	But the people who are funneling money to those politicians to get them to do what they want are still in place and still doing what they want.
	So it is a much better, much more clever imperial system.
	But it's a new one.
	You know, that's the thing.
	It's the new imperialism.
	The American Empire in decline.
	I think the answer is self-evidently yes.
	And I think that the Americans are going to take us into World War III.
	The Pope already thinks we're in World War III, just so you know.
	I mean, I don't know what value the Pope's word has, but I quite like this current Pope.
	He seems like a decent chap.
	So, yeah, I'm telling you, there's bad times coming.
	But the thing is, I don't think we're going to see World War II again.
	Yes, it's not going to be World War II.
	So, the chances are you're not going to die in a trench.
	The time style, you'll be at home in your bed when you get bombed.
	Because there's no point putting millions of men into the field.
	There's just no point.
	They'll die.
	That's all.
	Weaponry has become too effective.
	Drones have become too effective.
	There's no point.
	There's no point.
	And so it's going to be different.
	It's going to be different.
	And it's going to be hopefully less damaging than before.
	But yeah, you don't know.
	Who knows?
	The destructive power of weaponry these days is terrifying.
	I can't believe anyone would want any kind of war.
	But we're going into it.
	We're going right into it.
	All this provocation of Russia, the provocation of China.
	Seriously, the American fleet is one of the American fleets is floating around the South China Sea as we speak because they just want to make sure the Chinese know who's the boss, basically.
	But the Chinese don't actually have to take that kind of crap, you know.
	So it's, yeah, it's going to be long and drawn out, and there's going to be a lot of deaths on either side.
	And it's going to be a bad thing.
	And honestly, the thing is that they've circumvented the what if they threw a war and no one turned up.
	Well, they don't need to.
	Just need to press buttons and now drones will go and fight the war for them and it's like okay great that's, that's wonderful, that's wonderful um yeah, so yeah, we're it's.
	We're not looking at a good future, is what i'm saying, especially when you've got so many social problems, like you know the, the complete degeneration of the nuclear family, social justice and feminism running rampant through governments and institutions.
	You know some serious and they, and then they've got the stupidity to say we live in a patriarchy.
	Patriarchies did things way more productively than this, you know.
	Um yeah, i'm gonna do some videos on this.
	I've been rather distracted by Game Gate, but i've got.
	I can make some really solid cases for what's going on and what's going to happen as well.
	You guys should see what the American police have got.
	Seriously, just google the active denial system.
	That's coming to your streets, i'm telling you that's coming to your streets.
	Um, do I think the world would be equal if all nations have equal uh peaceful, if all nations have equal power?
	Um, probably not.
	I don't think there's any such thing.
	Um, all nations are different.
	That's the thing.
	Everything's different, so it's, it's not going to be.
	There's no equalizing anything really.
	Um, but yeah, I don't know.
	I'm not saying i've got all the answers either um, it's hard to say, but it's, it's not going to end well for anyone.
	That's the problem.
	It's the world are just being ruined, you know, and and then whoever's left will pick up the pieces.
	It's like great that's that's, that's wonderful, but that's where we're going, and no one seems to be really understanding this, because they're all too busy talking about stupid celebrities on the smartphones.
	And so 1984 really was prophetic in a way, because yeah, I know, I know i'm a doom, i'm a doommonger, I know I am, but honestly i'm.
	It's just the cycles of history.
	They just repeat themselves over and over.
	Um, there probably will be nuclear deployment.
	I don't know, I mean I I, the thing is I, I get the feeling that the Americans have got a trick up their sleeve.
	I don't think you'd be.
	I keep hoping i'm wrong as well.
	I really want to be wrong about all of this.
	Um, but yeah I, I don't think the Americans would be so blasé and flagrant in their provocation of Russia if they didn't have some trick up their sleeves about dealing with nuclear weapons.
	You know, I think nuclear weapons have become a bit of a paper tiger, because I suspect they've probably got some sort of fucking space-based defense system or something stupid like that.
	And I don't know.
	I'm just, i'm just speculating off the top of my head.
	I haven't got any proof for any of this, but I, I can't imagine why they would do the things they're doing and provoke in the way they're provoking if they didn't have a, an ace up their sleeve.
	You know I I, I just it would seem suicidal to me um, but they might, and they put a lot of their, they put a lot of their military budget into research, so they may well have some kind of super weapon.
	It's been something i've been thinking about for a while, because why else would they be doing this?
	They can't possibly think they're Going to win a world war, because no one's going to win the next world war.
	Yeah, I've got acres of land, mate.
	Acres of land.
	I'm definitely a farmer.
	So, yeah, anyway, that's some doom saying.
	And, you know, and the thing is, people don't seem to understand.
	They sit there and think, right, okay, I've done what I've done my whole life, and it's been no problem at all.
	And everything's gone great.
	And so, you know, everything is going to continue to go great because why should any of it change?
	And, you know, they seem to forget that's that's what the people in fucking Baghdad thought right up until the day the Mongols turned up on the doorstep, you know, and then suddenly that's the end of Baghdad.
	And that's what the people of Hiroshima thought, you know, until the Anodogay flew over.
	And it's, you know, everything goes great until it doesn't go great.
	And then you're looking at shit hitting the fan.
	So it's, I don't, I think peace is a fallacy.
	I don't think it's possible to have peace.
	I think the human condition precludes the option of having peace because humans just aren't equal.
	They never will be equal.
	It's, you know, the best you can do is say, here's equality of opportunity.
	And then those who have got the ability to seize it, seize it, and those who don't don't.
	And those who do seize it operate within a system that allows them to seize these opportunities and make the most of them.
	So what they then have is a burden of responsibility on those people who also participated in that system but didn't have those abilities.
	So honestly, I really think it is up to the rich to take care of the poor.
	It really is.
	Because the system that made them rich made the other people poor.
	So, you know, it's up to them.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, so yeah.
	I should probably knock this on the head because someone suggested earlier making sure I've got land separate to online play.
	And I think that's actually right.
	And I think I'm going to implement that now.
	So Russia hasn't annexed anything.
	No, the Crimeans voted to join Russia because fascists took over the Ukrainian government.
	And these were very anti-Russian fascists.
	And the Crimeans are mostly Russian.
	So no, Russia did exactly the right thing.
	And that's why the Americans didn't do anything.
	That's why they didn't do anything because Russia has done nothing wrong.
	And, you know, Putin is a statesman.
	He's not stupid.
	He's a statesman.
	And so, you know, he's, and I'm looking forward to Louis Dallas hearing this.
	He hates Putin.
	He's a long time viewer of mine.
	And he always gets on my shit when I talk about Putin.
	yeah you'll never hear the word merit in famous rhetoric um but yeah so yeah it's it's just it's it's it's the cycle of humanity really I think it's always going to carry on as it carries on.
	And you're always going to get people striving for power.
	You're always going to get people who are oppressed by people who are striving for power.
	People are always going to die along the way.
	It's a sad state of affairs, but I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.
	And I think that if it did change, it would probably be the conflict that keeps humanity sharp.
	It keeps humanity on the up, on the ladder, climbing the ladder upwards.
	So, because competition is a good thing.
	Competition is a damn good thing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	See, Ukrainian illegitimate governments, first of all, it was a junta government.
	That's what it was.
	The West won't call it that because we backed it, right?
	Hungarian and Russian languages are banned.
	Good start.
	Good start.
	That's that's no wonder the Crimeans were like, you know what, we're going to get out of this because these are the sort of people that, I mean, they were literally, Svoboda is literally a goose-stepping Nazi party.
	And the Crimeans were probably looking at going, shit, they're going to push us into death camps.
	And I think they probably would have done.
	I really think they probably would have done.
	And Eastern Ukraine is, they're mostly Russian as well.
	And they're in revolt still because they're probably going to end up getting pushed into death camps.
	You know, it's, yeah, it's just, you know, people don't understand the sort of people who have taken over the Ukrainian parliament by force.
	And we want those in the, we want them in the EU.
	I mean, oh, yeah, I definitely want the Nazi party of Ukraine in the EU.
	Why wouldn't I?
	I can't understand why so many people are trying to get out of the EU.
	Because that's the thing.
	The EU is nothing but a power grab.
	You know, it's nothing but a power grab.
	So it's just, you know, yeah, we're not enlightened.
	We're not getting anywhere further.
	In fact, enlightened, people are more stupid than ever.
	You know, in the past, people were just misinformed.
	They were just ill-informed.
	They didn't know any better, but they weren't stupid, you know.
	But people now are actually stupid.
	They're not just misinformed.
	They're fucking morons.
	And they're deliberately being crafted as morons by the education system, by that fucking Common Core bullshit.
	So it's just, it's just, these people, man, these fucking people.
	There's a lot of those people, those fucking people.
	So, Jurgis Brineus, what the fuck, Sargon?
	What?
	I love pissing off people.
	I don't know.
	I think the Ukrainians are afraid of the Russians.
	I imagine that's why Svoboda gained power or gained traction.
	They were also, they were financially backed by the Americans.
	You can see what was John McCain.
	There are pictures of him just chilling out with the Sverboda leadership.
	You know, he's giving them money, giving them weapons.
	Without a doubt, you know, without a doubt.
	Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with the EU.
	Yeah, the far left, I find the far left far worse than the far right.
	At least the far right's goals are very clear and defined, and it makes it very clear that you're either one of them or you're not one of them.
	Whereas the far left will lie to people and try and get into people's heads and they'll try to co-opt people into following the agenda until, like with the gaming press, I bet there are loads of people in the gaming press who are just like, fuck, I wish this social justice bullshit would just fuck off.
	I'm just not interested.
	You know, I really get the thing they're just not interested, but they don't have a choice because the culture.
	And this goes back to the Nuremberg trials where the Americans were like, well, how could you comply with that order?
	You knew that it was going to kill people.
	And the guy was like, the German guy was like, look, you don't understand.
	You can't just not comply.
	You know, that's just not an option.
	You may as well just put a gun to your head and fucking pull the trigger.
	And the Americans didn't accept that.
	And I think he was executed.
	And they're right.
	He was right.
	You know, this, I think that these people are exactly.
	I don't think death camps are a bit of a stretch at all, Junice.
	Jergis.
	Listen to Svoboda's rhetoric about Russia and Russians and ask me and tell me if you then think they're the sort of people who might actually put Russians into death camps.
	Seriously.
	I don't know why you think that's ridiculous.
	These are the sort of people who literally go on about how much they hate Russians and Jews and they want them out of the country.
	Well, one way of getting them out of the country would be to execute them.
	And I think they're the sort of people who actually would do that.
	Frankly, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.
	Yeah, see, exactly.
	Ukraine, World War II, huge amount of Russian civilians prisoners of war and killed in camps by the Ukrainians.
	Exactly.
	This sort of shit, this isn't, it's not some historical anomaly that the Holocaust happened.
	It was just the most, it was the apex of it, you know.
	It wasn't like something unusual.
	It was just the Germans are an efficient people.
	You know, if they're going to do something, they do it properly.
	But yeah, so, so yeah, that's, that's, um, that's my doom mongering for the future.
	So basically, the preppers are probably not wrong.
	You know?
	The preppers are probably not wrong.
	And I tell you what, Americans, don't give up your fucking guns.
	Do not do it.
	Just, I'm, I'm British, so I'm not in favor of guns in any way.
	But I've got a piss weak government that's afraid of everything and is afraid to offend anyone.
	So it doesn't matter whether I have a gun or not, because my government are a bunch of fucking cowards.
	But the American government, they're not cowards.
	They're psychopathic.
	I'm not kidding, right?
	I'm going to do a video about this soon because it's an important thing I really think people need to understand.
	Americans, do not give up your fucking guns.
	Because when you do, your republic ends.
	That day that you give up your guns is the day your republic is over.
	So, and the thing is, that is the problem with republics.
	That is the entire problem with republics.
	Look at every fucking republic.
	They all fall to tyranny.
	They all fall to tyranny.
	Because republics are not a natural state for a country to be in.
	They're very productive.
	Republics are very powerful.
	They literally allow you to unlock the manpower of your civilization and go on to do great things.
	But they always fall to tyranny because they become powerful and power attracts the corrupt tyrants.
	So, yeah, so don't give up your guns.
	Seriously, I'm not in favor of guns.
	And I'm telling you, don't give them up because I know what's going to happen when you do.
	So don't do it.
	Don't do it.
	And again, I just want to stress, I'm not in favor of guns either.
	I don't like guns at all.
	You know, I don't like guns whatsoever.
	But the last thing that you have that your government is afraid of are your weapons.
	So, you know, I mean, and the thing is, who was it?
	I was a comedian a while ago who was saying, like, you know, what are you going to do?
	You know, what have you lost?
	What have you not lost that they can still take from you?
	Like, you've lost everything from banks, you know, hundreds of thousands of houses set empty in America because they've been taken by the banks.
	These people didn't even need guns to take what you had.
	So, I mean, maybe it is pointless talking about guns these days.
	But it's, you know, if you, they can't do full-on repression while you still have guns.
	So don't, don't give them up.
	Don't give them up.
	That's all I'm saying.
	You're going to need them.
	You're going to need them.
	So don't give them up.
	So that'll probably do for the doom mongering for me.
	I have read June, actually.
	I haven't read the whole series.
	I read the main book, the first one I imagine is.
	Because it's a bloody long series.
	But it was very good.
	Very much enjoyed it.
	I love the Sarikata.
	It's badasses.
	But yeah, anyway, it's been really nice talking to everyone.
	It's been really fun, actually.
	I really, really enjoyed this.
	And I'm sure that I'll do this again.
	I hope the information at the beginning was helpful.
	And that you can just get a feel for the kind of character of these people.
	You know, these people are, I don't trust them.
	I wouldn't trust them for shit.
	I wouldn't trust them with anything because I think they'll find a way to rationalize a way of screwing me over.
	I am aware of the Austrian School of Economics, but I'll go into another time.
	And civs don't get shot because paranoid cops have guns everywhere.
	Civs get shot because paranoid cops don't get punished for shooting people and asking questions later.
	That's the problem.
	Yeah, they literally can seize property without pressing charges.
	It's fucking insane.
	I'm going to do another history video as soon as I can.
	The problem with the history videos is I like to make sure that I've done my research.
	And research takes a lot of time.
	I absolutely will.
	I'm very interested in doing either Charles Martell or the Peloponnesian War next.
	So very interesting, very interesting times to go on about.
	I rabbo you wrong time too.
	But yeah, thanks for listening.
	Thanks for talking to me.
	It's been nice.
