Time Text
You know what?
Why not just let us riot?
After all, we're the new lost generation.
Flouted by the greats, the baby boomers and the gen X's, pushed into stupid late-stage capitalism that we didn't even ask for, pushed even further into bullshit jobs that just people defend our misery.
I mean, we don't need people like Simon Sinek telling us to fall in line or fuck off.
No, what we need, we need action.
We need to organize ourselves.
We need to take back what was stolen from us from those bullshit capitalists and prime ministers and presidents and dictators and whatever you want to call it, okay?
We don't need to organize by nationalism or liberalism.
No, we need to organize by class.
One big union, one big organization of the working class, one big middle finger to the establishment, the actual establishment.
You know, not crony, not corporatist, no, capitalism.
Full stop, okay?
I'm looking at you libertarians.
So go stand by your fellow evicts.
Start a riot.
Take over your workplace for goodness sake.
And never cross a picket line.
Do whatever it takes to take back all that we have until we have the power to rebuild the world in the shape of the old.
Yes, my friends, we're going to get it.
We're going to get all of it.
We're going to drain the swamp of all those who stand against the working class.
Come on, my friends.
It is not too late to seek a newer world.
We have nothing to lose but our toothbrushes.
AND I WON'T REST UNTIL SOCIALISM ITSELF IS BUILDED UPON A GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND
So I thought we'd take a look into the mind of a communist The communist in question was in the intro that you're probably still cringing over, which incidentally was the outro to the video that I'm currently analyzing.
Now, I don't know what this chap's name is, but he runs a video channel called Bad Mouse Productions, and he's full-on anarcho-communist.
So, you know, President Trump is in the White House, eh?
Bring on the riots and bring on the status quo, Edgelords.
So I find this rather amusing because I'm actually not in favour of the status quo, which is why I make my videos criticizing the status quo.
I'm actually a radical, and I want to see all of the regressive nonsense that is in our political system in Britain and in other countries, but mainly this country, to be stripped out of our political discourse because it doesn't belong here.
But of course, what our little communist doesn't understand is that I'm not advocating for the radical change that he wants.
And so, naturally, by extension, I must be part of the status quo.
And I gotta say, totes to the black block for charging the police.
That is really something you don't see every day.
It takes a lot of guns.
It's very interesting that in a previous video, we went over how Occupy Wall Street had assessed that most of the anti-fart and black block members were actually quite middle class, quite well-educated, and basically LARPing as revolutionaries.
And I find that very amusing because you would think that someone with some kind of political science education would be aware that what anti-fart are doing with these black block tactics is handing Donald Trump the reason he needs to become even more authoritarian than he is.
It's almost like you want to be cracked down on.
You don't want a revolution of the proletariat.
What you want is for your daddy to spank you.
But of course, this guy is not only just pro-riot, he's pro-terrorism.
And the usual response from the media right and center is, of course, no nuance here.
Fuck everyone who commits violence.
No excuses, none.
Martin Luther King would have been ashamed.
Well, then just remember that after Islamic terrorism, the second most common terrorism form of terror in the entire world is communist terrorism.
And terrorists are bad.
Okay, they are bad.
There's no cause for debate here.
Yeah, there's no nuance.
Okay?
Terrorists are bad.
If my country says they're bad, they're bad.
Okay?
I know that Turkey has been doing some funny things with ISIS for several years now, but if they say that the PKK are terrorists, then, by God, Her Majesty is my witness, they are terrorists.
I'm sure this guy's not an idiot, but god damn, does he do a good impression?
Yes, Bad Mouse, and I want you to listen carefully.
All terrorism is bad, because all terrorism is built from the same subjective motives.
We feel aggrieved, we do not want to participate in your democratic process, and therefore we will use violence against civilians to achieve our ends.
I mean, to start with, you're attacking people who have done nothing to you, which I'm sure you understand isn't exactly going to engender goodwill towards your cause.
But secondly, you are legitimizing every other form of terrorism.
And I know what you're thinking.
Yeah, but my form of terrorism is actually legitimate because of autistic screeching.
This is the process by which you legitimise all forms of terrorism.
Because believe it or not, they all tell themselves the same thing.
They all claim to have a legitimate grievance and a legitimate reason to be doing what they're doing.
Of course, if you feel that way, and you weren't phenomenal cowards, what you would do is declare a civil war.
You would declare yourselves in arms against the legitimate authority and overthrow that, instead of terrorizing the local populace, who will be in full support when the police finally come and crack down on you.
Like this.
Five.
I'm not gonna get clobbered.
One.
There you go.
Stick them up.
Get this stuff out of the sky.
They let him do the job.
Stay back, guys!
That right there is the working class applauding the arrest and detention of middle-class anti-far communist LARPers.
Do you understand?
These people are not on your side.
And I make this point now because it's going to come into play later.
Remember it.
And since we're on the subject of cops, let's see what you have to say about them.
I don't suppose it matters to them that like they're throwing explosives, feces, bottles thrilled with nails, and multiple police have been hospitalized, but of course they don't care.
Yeah.
Most of us don't care about cops.
Okay?
Yeah, maybe individual cops.
Yeah, as people, fine, okay, no problem.
We can make an argument for that.
But I'm sorry, Sargon.
We are not in the interest of defending people whose main intent is to crush dissent amongst the working classes against the capitalist class.
I'm sorry, Sargon.
Does that really make you feel sad inside?
This guy is exactly what I'm talking about when I say a full-on LARPer.
A live-action role player of what he thinks a communist revolutionary is.
I mean, he's so insulated and has no idea about what he's actually talking about here.
That it's just, it's almost embarrassing to watch him try and be smug and condescending.
I love the concessions as well.
Well, I mean, individual cops, we could make the argument.
Bullshit.
Don't fucking lie to me.
You know you hate cops as a reflexive action.
You don't even know why you hate cops.
I mean, listen to this.
We are not in the interest of defending people whose main intent is to crush dissent amongst the working classes against the capitalist class.
Total ideological bullshit.
Find me one cop who even vaguely thinks anything like what you've just described their bad mouse.
Just find me one.
And when you realize you cannot find a single cop who thinks that that is what they are doing, you will realize that what you've said is not reflective of reality.
Now, I'm going to show you what's happening in reality when you don't have police.
And I'm looking forward to your excuses.
In Brazil this week, there has been a police strike due to lack of pay, and now you get to see what anarchy looks like.
Brazil's president has ordered 200 troops to the southeastern state of Esperito Santo, where a police strike in recent days sparked a wave of violence, including what is already believed to be dozens of murders.
This happened because police on the Friday stopped work because of a pay dispute.
Since then, local media and citizens with cell phone videos have broadcast scenes of chaos as thieves and other criminals appear to run rampant, particularly in the state capital Vitoria and its suburbs, home to about 2 million people.
Local media reported that as many as 50 people have died during the period, an unusually high death toll for the state in such a short period.
But the state security spokesman said the government has not been able to make an official tally.
Schools in the area closed, as did public health clinics and local offices.
This is what it looks like when there are no police.
Do you understand that this is not beneficial to the people?
You know, the working class who you so claim to represent, which you obviously don't.
They need schools, public health clinics, various local administrative facilities.
They can't afford to move away and, believe it or not, they don't want to be murdered in the street by someone who has the fancy.
That's why we have police.
So you making light of all of this and you just suggesting that this is all totally acceptable, that the police are awful and you just want to get rid of them, is possibly the most irresponsible thing I can think of.
But anyway, let's have a look at the people who are making up this movement.
What kind of people are in Antifar?
Because they certainly aren't the kind of people he describes.
So a bunch of people have been pissed off in the system they inhabit for decades and now they finally lash out.
Gosh, it almost seems like that's the same line that the right wing have been using as well.
And if people feel that voting doesn't change anything, then violence is the next step.
See, I do understand the reason why people voted for Trump, and largely it's because some of these people voted out of anger, they voted out of hope, out of desperation.
At times of financial instability and precarity, it's the best laid place for people like Trump to get in and start blaming people.
Just quickly, I love the start blaming people thing.
I mean, he is blaming everything on the quote-unquote capitalists.
But Donald Trump blaming people, no, no, it's wrong when he does it.
But anyway, what kind of people are Antifar made up of?
Well, we already saw in a previous video that a vast majority of them are actually middle-class social science students.
And many of them also happen to live with their mums.
92% of left-wing activists live with their parents, and one in three is unemployed.
Study of Berlin protesters find.
The vast majority of left-wing protesters arrested on suspicion of politically fueled offences in Berlin are young men who live with their parents, and new reporters found.
The figures which were published in the daily newspaper Build revealed that 873 suspects were investigated by the authorities between 2003 and 2013.
Of these, 84% were men and 72% were aged between 18 and 29.
A third of them were unemployed, and 92% still live with their parents.
So this isn't people who have been oppressed by this system for decades.
This is actually a spoiled brat NEET uprising.
And that is reflected with the kid gloves by which the establishment handles you.
He then goes on to talk about George Soros.
Now, I could find numerous examples of how George Soros is actually funding these protesters, but this guy just comes out and admits that that's true, so I don't need to.
As for this theory that George Soros is funding all these, like, left-wing radical groups as proof that he's a far-left globalist, well... I'm just gonna skip over the part where he tries to downplay this and make it sound ridiculous and get to the part where he just admits that this is happening.
To go out and cause disruption in sight riot.
Now I do know full well that this does happen.
And that's good enough for me.
I could find you the evidence that George Soros' organisations advertise on Craigslist for agitators, which they pay not a particularly large sum of money, but more than the average neat makes, so I imagine it's fairly appealing to them.
But like he says, they do it for free.
So he doesn't even need to.
I mean, why pay for a riot if rioters are actually more than happy to do it themselves?
For free?
Good question.
I think I've just worked out why you're a bunch of unemployed penniless neats.
Don't do things for free if you're good at them, and if someone is willing to pay you to do them.
So now let's really get into the ideological nonsense that was in his video.
For example, how anarchists justify voting for Wall Street in the form of Hillary Clinton.
Yes, I know that plenty of anarchists voted for Hillary, but that's beside the point.
When anarchists vote for someone, it's largely used as a damage control measure at best.
I can't think of a better way of exemplifying just how full of shit anarchists are if they vote for Hillary Clinton.
Yes, we're against capitalism and Wall Street and we're against big business and government, but we are going to vote for Hillary Clinton, the one person in the entire political system whom all of these forces aligned in support of.
Because reasons.
Why are you voting at all?
You want to tear down the system.
It doesn't matter who you vote for because surely they are all just as illegitimate as each other.
Damage control, my asshole.
Fucking hell, what a hypocrite.
But yeah, we the people are going to burn your limo down because that's what we do.
We don't respect property rights.
We don't care.
Eat the rich.
Gosh, you liberals really do love your windows, don't you?
Yes, but I'm not a penniless neat who still lives with his parents.
I know what it's like to own things.
And when people randomly come along and smash these things up, I know that I'm the one who has to replace my things.
I don't want you to smash my things, especially when your outrage is just built on absolute bullshit.
It's built on air.
You are the ones who chose to do social studies and who chose to do gender studies and sociology as your fucking careers.
Don't blame me when you can't get a fucking job.
But again, really, it just comes down to the categorical imperative.
If you think it's acceptable for you to do something, then you have no grounds to complain when I come along and do it to you.
In fact, you must stand there and applaud me and say, well, comrade, that was exactly what I was doing, and this is totally justified.
And yes, just because I now have to replace this like a fucking fool, I can't stand in opposition because I created the argument for you smashing my things.
I mean, I don't suppose you actually care that the vast majority of criminality extends from the right of private property, do you?
No, it doesn't.
Oh my god.
That's like saying the right not to be murdered is the reason that murders happen.
I mean, if it was just something that we just accepted and didn't hold as a right, then my goodness, there'd be no problem at all.
fucking Why do these people even exist?
Holy shit.
You're a moral.
If the right didn't exist, then me violating that right wouldn't be a problem.
You are just unbelievable.
Gustav, Gustav.
The Nazis are racist.
Yeah, well, the communists are just literally anti-everyone who is the communist.
They literally don't care.
It's them or everyone else.
Or maybe you should have said the entirety of the working class.
This guy's face is hilarious.
The working class are not communists at all.
They, in fact, despise communists.
The biggest delusion that communists labor under is that the working class are even vaguely interested in their ideological bullshit.
These people do not have time for your metaphysical problems.
They have physical problems that they have to deal with.
And the idea of some 20-something neat coming along and saying, hey, you know that plumbing business or that brick lane business that you spent years of your life and much financial risk and hardship to yourself building up to the point where you've managed to buy yourself a house?
I'm going to take that away from you because reasons.
They're not interested.
You don't represent them.
Get this out of your fucking head.
Anarchists prefer to make Nazis afraid again.
You are so irresponsible.
You don't even understand the can of worms you're opening.
A bunch of neats laughing as revolutionaries is actually going to cause things that are far worse.
I mean, have you ever been to a football riot?
Do you know what it's like to be trapped inside one of these things?
Of course you fucking don't.
Have you ever been punched squarely in the face?
Of course you have not.
Have you ever been beaten unconscious on the floor by a group of people who don't know you, who don't know what you stand for, and don't know what you care about?
Of course not.
But your casual permissiveness of violence is the opening of Pandora's box.
It is the denunciation of violence in a system that is responsive to the people that prevents chaos.
And you don't even know how badly the chaos will go for you.
Because you are not a fighter.
You are not a revolutionary.
You are, at best, a useful idiot who will find himself getting his face stomped in by one of the steel-toe-capped Nazis that he's so interested in trying to scare.
You are an idiot.
And I'm saying this as a liberal who sees communism as a worse threat than fascism.
Sargon, people on the radical left have been trying to talk to you now about anarchism, Marxism, socialism, communism, all those other isms for some time now.
Yes, and I will continue to mock them for holding these stupid isms, these utopian fantasies that will never come to pass.
And I'm just going to explain to you very quickly why they'll never come to pass.
They require you to have totalitarian control of the system to ensure that everyone thinks like you.
You will not win.
You will never win.
You are as pointless as the 1488ers, the white supremacists who run around screaming that we should deport black people.
You are as pointless as those people and you will never ever effect the change you want to see.
And to no avail.
You just seem to brush us off and not listen to us or construct a straw man about the Soviet Union.
Okay?
I'm not even vaguely interested about bringing up the Soviet Union, although that is one of the dozens of fantastic examples of how communism simply doesn't work.
The ideology itself is not internally consistent.
It is fundamentally oppressive.
You have to hold people down.
You have to go against what they perceive to be their birthright in order to make what you want happen.
And literally any dissenters threaten to overthrow your entire system, and therefore they must be shot.
And what you will end up with is what every other communist regime has ended up with.
A small number of people at the top benefiting at the expense of the vast majority who are held down in poverty.
Name a communist state and that's what you find.
You will never, ever have anything different out of this ideology, because everything about the ideology forces this to happen.
And even when people come along and, you know, show you that some of those people don't personally agree with identity policy, some people that you might actually enjoy and have a nice conversation with, then it's just to no avail.
My problem with communism is not identity politics, genius.
My problem with communism is that it is fundamentally and inherently oppressive and totalitarian.
And every single example of an attempted communist state demonstrates that.
You can pick one.
What about Cuba?
I mean, are they even full communists?
There's probably private property in Cuba, so they're probably not real communists.
But they couldn't even get halfway without the average person being on $25 a month, and yet Fidel Castro had $900 million in his various offshore bank accounts.
But of course, none of this matters, because the real world has no bearing on your ideological dream world.
Oh, the left are just these fucking degenerates.
When do I ever say that?
I never call the left degenerates because I'm not some alt-right neo-Nazi.
And normally, I mean, you've done very well so far by classifying me in the left.
So suggesting that I would consider like homosexuality or, you know, anything like this degenerates is not true.
I don't.
I just think they're life choices that people are free to make.
The left is stupid, though.
It's stupid and ideological and highly idealistic.
There are no political realists left.
Okay, well, I'm sorry.
But if you are not going to listen to us, why should we even bother listening to you?
Why should we bother having a debate with you?
Unless you want to have that debate, unless you actually want to engage with the radical left, then I'm sorry.
Go home and jerk off to your fucking liberalism.
I'm not even slightly interested in engaging with the radical left.
The radical left is to be pointed at and laughed at, in my opinion.
Communists, socialists, whatever stripe of radical leftist you think you are, you're stupid, you're out of touch, you will never represent the working man, they will never vote for you, they will never support you,
they will be in active opposition to you because you don't understand them, you don't understand the problems they face, you don't understand the political reality of the situation you find yourself in, and your ideological utopia will never ever happen because it is physically impossible because of the way the human species is.
Human beings form hierarchies because individual humans are different to each other.
Nature is a cruel mistress and does not make them all the same.
Communism might work for the ants, but it certainly doesn't work for humans, in much the same way that anarchy doesn't work either.
Even the most remedial, backwards tribe you can find has a chieftain, a leader, a hierarchy.
You will never, ever find a group of humans that do not have a hierarchy.
Even if it's not formalized, you will find one in the group who has a stronger personality than the rest, who calls the shocks and to whom the others follow.
This is life.
Get used to it.
And since we're coming to the close now, let's talk about how you feel about liberals.
Antifar are not liberal.
Antifar is largely anarchist and communist.
And I suppose that liberals will get the bullets too, won't they?
Now let's look at the leftist Marxists.
While the vast, vast majority of the protests going on in Washington, D.C. today during Donald Trump's inauguration were peaceful, there were isolated instances of violence.
Dude, there were like 500.
That's like five times more than the globalization rioters of 1999.
Yes, there are more peaceful protesters, but you know, there's plenty of radicals as well, and we're celebrating that.
We don't yet know if they were actually progressives or liberals, or if they were just provocateurs sent there by the right wing.
Oh, you fucking liberal.
I'm really sorry.
I shouldn't hate on liberals so much, it's really not something I should do, but...
Oh, you fucking liberal!
And this is the honest feelings of a communist towards liberals.
Because they are not on the same team.
No matter how much the communist will play chameleon and pretend to mingle and be anti-right wing with the liberals.
But they're not.
They hate you.
Liberals are not anti-state.
Liberals are not anti-private property.
And liberals are not anti-freedom.
These are all things that communists are dead set against.
And it is no wonder that they will despise liberals, even when they are forced to mingle among them and pretend that they're part of the same group as if they come from the same political wing.
Which they do not.
At the end of his video and the final card, he leaves this kind of mealy-mouthed excuse as to why he finds liberals frustrating.
I'll let him explain for himself.
Okay, just a little minor point.
If you're watching this as a liberal and you're new to my videos, just to let you know, we don't necessarily hate all individual liberals.
What we sort of mean when we have this sort of anger is that we don't like liberalism and we just get fed up with constant, you know, calls for moderation, complete dismissal of, you know, violent acts or anything like that, comparing us with Nazis because we commit violence as well.
How dare you compare us to Nazis just because we act in precisely the same way as the Nazis do.
Unbelievable.
And he's just sat here saying, look, we hate liberalism.
And oh yeah, we don't hate individual liberals except for those who oppose us, which of course we hate because they're promoting liberalism, which we hate.
The double think is just incredible, but it's this cowardliness.
No, you come out against liberals because you are against liberals.
And if you don't do this, you're a fucking coward.
It's about whether or not the violence is aimed at the right people.
You know, the left aims its violence primarily towards big business, towards politics, towards banking administrations, those kind of things, as opposed to other forms of violence.
And that is his worldview in a nutshell.
It's not that violence towards your fellow citizens in a representative democracy is wrong, it's that the violence is being done to the wrong people.
And who gets to decide who those people are?
Well, he does.
He's decided for you.
And this is all perfectly acceptable.
Of course, none of this is acceptable.
This is absolute cancer.
And the sooner that Antifar are labeled a domestic terrorist organization, the far safer that we will all be.
Because this person does not believe in the concept of rights.
This person is one step away from savagery.
Of course, he doesn't know what's going to happen when he gets that, but that's a different story for another time.
Okay, and again, like I've said in this video, it comes from systemic roots at the end of the day.
So we're not saying that liberals are bad, but it's just that there's a lot of grief and a lot of annoyance that we tend to have, okay?
No.
I can't wait for you to be declared as a terrorist because you are pro-violence in the name of political causes, which makes you a terrorist.
I mean, you are literally a terrorist sympathizer.
You are pro-terrorism.
And for all I know, you have gone out and committed acts of terrorism as and you don't even seem to see this as a problem.
But that's your problem.
That's not my problem.
When the state cracks down on you, as they should, and I will be in full support of, I'll just be there.
I'll be there on the sidelines for the rest, applauding.
Good.
Get rid of these communist revolutionaries.
These middle-class LARPing twats deserve to have their faces and teeth kicked the fuck in for trying to visit violence arbitrarily on citizens of their country.
This is not negotiable.
You're never going to get what you want, bad mouse.
Your best bet would be to come up with a saner political ideology that might actually have some reflection of the real world.
Take human nature into account.
Take the political reality in which you live.
I mean, you won't, of course, you won't do any of these things.
But this is the future.
This is your future is nothing.
Your future is to be eternally on the bottom of society, wasting your energy trying to overthrow everything to create a system that benefits a few at the expense of the many.
How the fuck you can think that's a solid solution or plan for any society is beyond me.
But again, this is just you being delusional.
This is you living in a fancy world and LARPing your fancies of being a heroic revolutionary for the working class who will hate and despise you every step of the way.
Listen, I'm Polish and my entire life I've had to deal with stories of my family not being able to make it here from Poland.
And these people walk on the street with a hammer and sickle on their shirt and I'm not supposed to be offended but they can call me Nazi whenever they want.
It's fucking bullshit.
of polls die and I deal with people walking with their fucking jacobar jerks and their fucking amaran sickle and I'm tired of being called a fucking nazi just cause I'm fucking white and don't like these fucking trash.
Make America fight Nazis again.
Washington, New York, come here and stand up against these Nazi fucks.
Join me.
Come here.
Stand up against these Nazi neo-clan fucks.
Even the fucking thing is that yo Antifa, you're welcome to come down here and face up against me, huh?
What's Antifa?
Who's Antifa?
No.
No Trump, no KKK, no fascist fucks like these.
Nah, just dumbass, ignorant communists like that, right?
Look at this guy.
Look at him.
Come on, tell me, tell me.
Look at this guy.
He tell me.
Go home, Nazi.
