Bye, Michael

Time Text
Yes, on November 8th, you, Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, Billy Bob Blow, all the blows.
Get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it's your right.
Michael, listen to what you're fucking saying.
Honestly, it's not that you can't do good work, it's that you won't do good work.
And I have no idea why you won't actually think about the things you're saying, but let's just go through what you've just said already before we carry on your tirade of absolute, unremitting and unapologetic ignorance.
Yes, on November 8th, you, Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, Billy Bob Blow, all the blows.
This is obviously you talking down to working class people.
This is obviously a fat millionaire film producer talking down to the average working stiff.
Fucking cut it out, you twat.
Get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it's your right.
Okay, I'm going to try and retain my calm, Michael.
But yes, unbelievably, the people who are the tax-paying citizens of a country who are paying into a system that not only does not serve their needs but actively works against them absolutely have the right to tear down that system and create a new one.
And if the moneyed interests and the media and left-wing propagandists like yourself have a problem with that, you can suck my fucking dick, Michael, because nobody gives a shit anymore.
I don't know whether you've noticed, Michael, but people are fucking tired of being told that they are bad people because their interests do not align with the left-wing intelligentsia's interests.
But what amazes me most is the left-wing media's attempt to use shame and guilt to try and force these people to act against their own best interests.
Yes, we know that you're being ground against the bottom harder than ever, but if you change the system that's doing that, we might lose our privileged positions.
Isn't that right, Michael?
Trump's election is going to be the biggest fuck you ever recorded in human history.
And it will feel good.
No, it will feel great.
And they have every right to feel great.
Because after the slings and arrows cast at them by the media, it will feel amazing to be walking around with a near-permanent erection.
And whenever you bump into someone who will weep and moan and gnash their teeth at the election of Donald Trump, you can say, turn around and bend over.
The tables have turned.
This shoe is now on the other foot.
And after the way that you and your cohorts in the media have been acting towards the general public, you do not deserve any sympathy.
This is your swan song.
This is your death knell.
Do you understand?
Your political movement is dying because it was self-serving, Michael.
Honestly, it has been one of the biggest disappointments of my life to see what I thought was the altruistic wing of politics turn into the self-serving narcissistic crybabies that it has become.
I am glad to see it broken.
For a day.
Look at these fucking mouth breathers.
They have no idea what's going on.
They have no idea what's actually going on outside of their echo chamber, which is becoming smaller and smaller and less relevant by the day.
Yeah, maybe a week.
Possibly a month.
I haven't actually been making Brexit videos, because the wounds are still raw with the Remain camp, and I don't really want to rub it in.
But it still feels good.
I'm not going to lie.
And then, like the Brits, who wanted to send a message, so they voted to leave Europe.
Yes, Michael, it is about explaining to the powers that be who is actually in charge here.
We are the people with the votes.
You are the people who need the votes.
Well, not you personally, but the politicians and the establishment that has built up around the current political order are the ones who want that political order maintained.
Unfortunately for you, this political order has become a net negative for the people living under it, in Britain anyway, which is why they voted to change it.
I don't want to have to introduce you to basic philosophical concepts, but that is the essence of the social contract.
That the people get to decide what government they will have, and that government will be responsive to the people.
I'm sorry if you are part of the dwindling clique that is losing out in this new realignment of political power, but you have no one else to fucking blame.
And now, right now, in this, you are going to try and use guilt and shame to make people regret what's happened.
And you are such a fat, unself-aware sack of shit that you don't understand that you doing this will just harden people's hearts.
It will be a full stop and they will say, yes, this is why we are changing things.
Because of people like you not fucking listening.
Not even, I don't even know if you're capable of understanding what's going on, Michael.
Only to find out that if you vote to leave Europe, you actually have to leave Europe.
This is going to come as a surprise to you, Michael, but that is why they voted to leave Europe.
It wasn't a message, it was a deliberate change in the political landscape.
They wanted something different.
Because, and I don't know whether you've noticed this, Michael.
Nobody, not one fucking person, was making the argument for the glorious future that Britain would have in the EU.
And I suspect that's because you can't make that argument.
Because the EU looks like the sick man of the world.
It looks like it's on the verge of collapse, but we'll get into that in a minute.
And now they regret it!
Bullshit.
They didn't regret it in August.
They didn't regret it in September.
But after three months of non-stop pro-EU propaganda from the mainstream media, 6% of people are like, oh, maybe I regret my vote.
6 fucking percent, Michael.
And I don't know whether you've noticed, but Theresa May is hugely popular amongst voters who see her as in touch with ordinary people, unlike you.
She is way more popular than the prime minister who called the referendum.
And she is more than twice as popular as the leader of the opposition party.
This is not a sign of mass regret on behalf of the British people, you fucking idiots.
And I don't know whether you're aware, but the far-right Eurosceptic parties are leading the polls in France and the Netherlands.
This has dire implications for the EU, but we'll let you carry on and we'll talk about them in a minute.
All the Ohioans, Pennsylvanians, Michiganders, and Wisconsinites of Middle England, right?
They all voted to leave, and now they regret it, and over 4 million of them have signed a petition to have a do-over.
This is nothing but propaganda.
The people who signed that petition were not people who voted to leave.
They are people who voted to remain, and they want to remain so badly that they were not happy and refused to accept the election results, you know, like you think Donald Trump is going to do, and wanted to have another referendum.
Thankfully, Theresa May, which is this is one of the reasons why she's so fucking popular, Michael, rejected this outright.
We've had the referendum, the result was Brexit, and in May's opinion, that means hard Brexit to be delivered in March next year.
Fucking, can you see why she's popular yet, Michael?
They want another election.
It ain't gonna happen because you use the ballot as an anger management tool.
That is not why it's not going to happen.
It's not going to happen because the elected government with a majority in the parliament called a referendum and said in advance that this will be a binding deal.
This will determine Conservative Party policy.
And they are following through on that, Michael.
You are talking complete shit.
Mixed in amongst the absolute outright lies are just your wild misinterpretations of what's going on.
Like this.
And the rest of Europe, the rest of Europe?
They're like, bye, Felicia.
What?
I mean, fuck, Michael.
They're fucking furious.
Do you understand?
They are fucking furious because Brexit is probably going to be the reason the European Union collapses.
For example, the German vice-chancellor says that Brexit makes Europe unstable.
The man who created the Euro says that it's a house of cards ready to collapse.
Brexit will hasten the collapse of the European Union, says Yanis Varifakis, the ex-finance minister of Greece.
As in, the people who know what they're fucking talking about think this is a problem for the European Union, Michael.
This is why Juncker is being so punitive.
This is why he's telling EU leaders to be intransigent with Britain and refrain from doing secret negotiations with the UK.
And this is why the Irish PM is saying, look, if you are going to act in a punitive way and try and hurt Britain as she leaves the EU, you know those far-right nationalists who are leading all the polls, whose platforms already include a promise to have a referendum on the EU?
Yeah, well, they're just going to get more popular.
You fucking moron.
God, you're such a pratt.
So when the rightfully angry people of Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin find out after a few months in office that President Trump wasn't going to do a damn thing for them, I really don't see how that's an argument against Trump, to be honest.
We know that none of the other politicians are going to change anything.
And if Trump doesn't change anything either, what have we lost?
But we have gained something, Michael.
We have gained you being pissed as fuck.
We are gaining all of the right people getting a big, fat, fucking bloody nose.
Because fuck you, that's why.
It'll be too late to do anything about it.
To do anything about what?
The normality that's going to carry on?
Because according to you, Donald Trump isn't going to change anything.
But believe me, I think we're all going to enjoy the slew of articles that come out if Donald Trump wins and the desperate calls to overthrow democracy that will come from the left.
And you fucking know they will.
But I get it.
The only thing you get is diabetes, you fat hack.
You wanted to send a message?
No, they want a political system that doesn't treat them as if they are the enemy.
You had righteous anger and justifiable anger.
If it's justified, stop trying to shame them.
Like you said, you know it's justified.
I know it's justified.
They know it's justified.
The establishment knows it's justified.
Everyone knows these people are getting fucked.
So why don't you just change?
It doesn't have to be like this.
You're making it like this by being so intransigent, by being intractable, by not listening and just saying, no, you know what?
I think you're just a racist.
That's forcing their hand.
You are making this happen.
Well, message sent.
Good night, America.
You've just elected the last president of the United States.
The only arguments you have, Michael, are guilt and shame.
If people are trapped in a system that is not responsive to their needs, requires them to pay for it, and then abuses them for the privilege, maybe that would be a good thing.
Maybe a new form of democracy is needed, Michael.
Maybe a new form of democracy that wasn't invented hundreds of years ago would be more relevant for the 21st century.
And thanks to the internet, we're seeing that the new form of media is entirely relevant, which is why you are there just desperately trying to guilt-trip people into remaining in the current system.
Desperately, you're like a conservative.
You're just trying to conserve what you have left.
You've amassed all this social capital, and now it's being whittled away from under your feet.
Fuck yourself.
