| I just thought I'd do a quick ramble about the petition I started to end social justice in universities. | |
| People suggested I do a video on it because I put it at the end of the last video because that frankly is the justification for it in my opinion. | |
| Almost everything I do on this channel is because almost all of this is coming from universities. | |
| I can't, I mean, maybe some of the more extreme Tumblr style stuff is being generated on Tumblr, but the impetus for this is universities. | |
| It is professors who hold fucking wacky beliefs and who are projecting these beliefs onto everyone else, whether they're true or not. | |
| It's complete pseudoscience. | |
| It is social homeopathy. | |
| It has to be stopped. | |
| There is no reason to teach this in the same way there's no reason to teach creationism and bloody Scientology. | |
| This is not a legitimate philosophy. | |
| This is not, I mean, I was to say religion for a second there. | |
| Yeah, social justice is complete cancer as well. | |
| It's specifically about dividing people to play them off against one another. | |
| It's indoctrinating people into thinking that they are nothing more than their race and their gender and their sexuality. | |
| It's absurd. | |
| This is absolutely absurd. | |
| This is nonsense. | |
| Social justice is bullshit. | |
| We need to start taking steps to try and make people aware of this and extract it from the institutions from which it's coming. | |
| So I realize that a petition saying suspend social justice in universities, it's not going to suspend any social justice courses in universities. | |
| Nobody's going to lose their job. | |
| There are millions and millions of dollars a year pumped into this, right? | |
| The point is just simply to figure out how many people think we should. | |
| That's what the point is. | |
| Now, at the moment, the petition's at 10,000, which is fantastic. | |
| But I suspect there are many more than 10,000 people who are interested in ending social justice. | |
| And the more people we can get, the heavier the weight when we go to somewhere, anywhere, and say, look, there are 10,000 people we have by name, or 100,000 people we have by name, who want to talk about this issue. | |
| We want this stopped. | |
| This is an all or nothing deal. | |
| This is, I mean, if it can't reform, and I don't think it can, then, yeah, it's got to be stopped. | |
| This is nonsense. | |
| You know, we need some sort of independent inquiry into whether this is actually true, because we don't think it is, and we've got a lot of proof that over the sort of time we've built up, it's just nonsense. | |
| There's nothing, nothing credible about it, and it needs to be stopped. | |
| And so this is the first step in the road. | |
| It's just establishing that there are hundreds of, you know, tens of thousands of people that we can identify by name who will literally stand up and say, we disagree. | |
| This is something that we are concerned about. | |
| We're fucking taxpayers in our countries. | |
| We're voters. | |
| We are people who are genuinely concerned about the future of civilization. | |
| And that puts us in the same category as these people. | |
| They are interested in the future of civilization. | |
| They're interested in a different future to us. | |
| So this is a conversation we have to have. | |
| So don't let people tell you that this isn't something worth doing. | |
| And it's free. | |
| You just need to sign it. | |
| And yeah, I realize there are going to be people who are afraid of being doxed and stuff, but if we don't do something now, it's going to be a lot worse further down the line. | |
| And they've made a big deal about cyber harassment and whatnot. | |
| There are now people we can go to who aren't necessarily SJWs, who are aware of these issues, and we can provide them the evidence of what they have done to then, again, just another chip on the wall, you know? | |
| But that's what this is. | |
| It's the first step forward, as far as I can see. | |
| It's just to show people that there is a groundswell of feeling behind this. | |
| This is not something that has been trumped up. | |
| These aren't sock puppet accounts. | |
| These are real people who have real concerns about the future of themselves and their children. | |
| And this is, I think, a really legitimate thing to talk about because this is so subversive. | |
| Where is this crap not being seen? | |
| You know, I mean, this has got, this, the Prime Minister of Canada is a fucking intersectional feminist. | |
| You know, it's, Barack Obama sits there reeling off the wage gap. | |
| They go to the UN. | |
| You know, if you don't think this is important, then I don't think you're paying attention, you know? | |
| So yeah, I'm not trying to guilt you into doing everything, but I do think it is really important. | |
| For fuck's sake, why can't people leave me alone? | |
| I do think it's really important. | |
| And so that's what the petition's for. | |
| It's just a statement of values against social justice. | |
| And it's the sort of thing that we can just use in future. | |
| So I'd really, really encourage people to sign it just because I think we do need to stand up and be counted. |
