	Hello everyone, welcome to this week in Stupid for the 12th of February 2017.
	This week we will be refuting point by point the ridiculous arguments that are coming out of the left on every single event that happens.
	I am honestly just watching it in awe wondering why they are doing it to themselves.
	Why would you come and say, and I thought Hillary was the one who wanted war?
	She does.
	She has the most consistent track record on her support of America's foreign interventions than anyone else.
	She has supported every war initiated by the United States, not in self-defense, for more than 23 years, since she first occupied the White House as First Lady.
	And she has previously threatened Iran over Israel, saying that she could obliterate them if they attack Israel.
	That's a fucking threat.
	And she's a total hawk.
	So the next one is this viral chart that was going around.
	A chart purportedly documents that no foreign national from any seven countries, including a January 2017 executive order, has killed any American citizens in the US since 1975.
	This is fake news, as according to Snopes, who for some reason marked it mixed and then went on to debunk it.
	Rather than waste any more time on this than is necessary, you can just read the Snopes and Federalist articles that I'll leave in the sources.
	It's just not true, guys.
	It's just not true.
	There have been foreign-born terrorists who have killed Americans.
	Just read it.
	I mean, the Tsarnev brothers who did the Boston bombing were foreign for Christ's sake.
	The left is just lying on this issue.
	And this is written by Kyle Scheidler, the director of the Threat Information Office at the Center for Security Policy.
	Since I'd never heard of them, I thought, well, I'd better look them up, see if they're credible.
	And I'll tell you what, their Wikipedia bio is a fucking hit piece.
	This is just Buzzword Bingo calling them far-right conspiracy theorists who research quote-unquote jihadist threats wink-wink and have been described as not very highly respected, in fact disreputable.
	By who?
	Oh, the BBC and Salon.com?
	Yes, those very neutral, objective, not extremely left-leaning outlets at all.
	And you know, the Southern Poverty Law Centre described them as a hate group, and a conspiracy-oriented mouthpiece for the growing anti-Muslim movement.
	So, you know, I mean, these people are basically Nazis.
	Seriously, though, in that article on the Federalist, he does explain how the authorities repeatedly define away acts of terrorism to prevent them from being classified as terrorism, even though there would normally be every reason to do so.
	In this instant, in the London Tube, a Muslim immigrant snuck up behind an American citizen who was playing a ukulele or something, and slit his throat from behind, while screaming, this is for Syria, my Muslim brothers, all your blood will be spilled.
	And it would appear from comments he made at the time of the attack and the content he had downloaded on his phone that he might have been inspired by extremist ideology.
	Part of their propaganda is specifically targeted in relation to the vulnerable.
	We're not just talking about mental health here, we're talking about vulnerable individuals within the community.
	As a result of what I would call inspiration, as a result of that propaganda, we are seeing more and more lone actors.
	Spontaneous volatile extremists.
	Which presumably is why authorities in London first investigated the brutal stabbing as a terrorist incident, but did not determine that Maya the attacker had been motivated by religion, politics or ideology.
	You just said he looked like he was.
	I mean, you literally just said the content he downloaded on his phone suggests that he may have been inspired by extremist ideology.
	Why are we making excuses for him?
	Anders Breivik wasn't declared to be someone with mental health issues, he was just influenced by extremist ideology.
	So was this guy?
	What's the difference?
	Because everything about the regressive left has now become in service of their ideology to try and desperately preserve it.
	They literally don't care about facts and data.
	They don't care about the real world.
	They don't care about things that are actually happening, that create difficulties that people actually have to live with.
	And they're not prepared to compromise at all.
	A London University lecturer has apologised for saying that Trump's immigration ban makes sense.
	Why?
	Because he has data, that's why.
	Adam Perkins, a neurobiology lecturer, said he would like to apologise wholeheartedly, having tweeted last Sunday that people from the seven Muslim majority countries affected, quote, tend to be overrepresented in crime and unemployment stats.
	This is objectively a fact that no matter which way you look at this data, these people are overrepresented.
	And he has been forced to apologize for saying it.
	This is what we have come to.
	Describing reality is now racist.
	He said, Trump's ban makes sense in human capital terms.
	People from banned nations tend to be overrepresented in crime and unemployment stats and provided the relevant data.
	The first image demonstrates their overrepresentation in violent crime and property crime in Norway and Finland.
	And the second one and the second one showed employment rate by country of origin.
	And you can see there that Somalia and Syria have around or less than 30%.
	And when they said, yeah, well, I mean, it's different when they come to the United States, he demonstrated that it wasn't all that different, as half of them remain unemployed.
	The man was literally saying nothing that was untrue, but the objection was simply offense.
	One student who wished to remain anonymous told BuzzFeed News that Perkins had taken a, quote, huge swipe at the Somali community.
	Well, I hate to say this, but isn't that just a part of being treated as equals?
	Because if this was like the Irish community or the Polish immigrant community or something like that, I would have the same criticism.
	Honestly, though, ask yourself, who has the onus to get down the crime statistics from these communities?
	It's not on other people to stop you from committing crime, is it?
	And I know this is horribly offensive, but the people who are committing crimes probably already know that it's a crime that they're about to commit.
	Okay?
	They're not idiots.
	They're not animals.
	They just need to be held responsible for what they're doing.
	I think all of this has become the consequence of an abdication of responsibility.
	I mean, one thing I have to ask you, and I've seen comments and I've had emails from people.
	I'm from Syria and I knew a guy who travelled out for the migrant crisis.
	He was pretty disreputable.
	And he went because you were giving away free money.
	Merkel's giving away free money.
	That was it.
	Just, that was his reason.
	Not everything is a fucking victim.
	There are people out there who are actually going to take advantage of what appeared to be just a free handout from idiots.
	Wealthy idiots.
	If they just go, well, okay, yeah, I'm a terrible refugee.
	Yeah, orphan.
	Oh, orphan.
	Yeah, I'm 12 as well, even though I look 40.
	Just give me some money.
	Yeah, okay.
	Oh, Finland's really cold.
	Can you send me back to Baghdad, please?
	Which is something that actually fucking happened, okay?
	Quote-unquote refugees who wish to return to an apparent war zone because they don't like the weather.
	We are being taken for a ride.
	Just discriminate between the actual refugees and the people who are claiming to be refugees.
	We don't just have to simply believe their stories in the same way that we wouldn't simply just believe the stories of white people.
	It's weird that you just can't apply the same fucking standards.
	The next bounce of hysterical nonsense from the left is ethnic cleansing doesn't begin with gas chambers, it begins with deportations which white moderates find reasonable.
	This was also what was basically said on the Bill Maher show the other day.
	And it's just like, no, what are you saying?
	This is ridiculous.
	You have literally jumped from point A to point Z and you've skipped literally everything in between right up until around H or J, which are all completely within the realms of international politics.
	Completely normal things that we have been doing for years.
	Every country does it, especially the United States, because they've got such a long, open fucking border.
	Listen, you morons.
	Obama deported a record number of people from the US in his tenure.
	As of 2015, more than 2.5 million undocumented people have been deported by immigration authorities since Obama took office in 2009, beating out George Bush's 2 million during his tenure.
	Where were the gas chambers?
	Where were the concentration camps?
	What's this?
	Merkel's doing exactly the same?
	Obviously, she's a secret Nazi.
	She's creating concentration camps for Muslims.
	She's going to gas them all.
	It's going to be a new Holocaust.
	The Germans just can't stop themselves.
	Apparently, a projected half a million people will be deported by the end of 2017 from Germany.
	My god, she's the biggest butcher since Hitler.
	Or these people aren't dying and they're just being sent back to the countries of origin, where they came from.
	You know that these people don't just pop into existence when they come to our borders.
	And these people who are being rejected are the opportunists.
	They are basically just illegal immigrants who should be sent back and told to try and immigrate legally.
	And this is practically the single most popular political position in all of Western Europe.
	With 55% of people thinking that all future immigration from Muslim countries should be stopped.
	And according to a Politco poll, it's also the most popular with American voters as well.
	The order has a 55% approval rating among voters polled, with 35% saying they strongly approve, with only 38% against.
	The only executive order more popular than the travel ban is the one revoking federal funding for so-called immigration sanctuary cities.
	That order has a 55% approval rating with a 33% disapproval.
	Because immigration from Muslim countries into the West is a major issue.
	And if you don't address it, other people will.
	Seriously, the media is so out of touch that they don't even understand.
	At this point, Donald Trump looks like he's probably going to go down as a fucking folk hero.
	Assuming he doesn't do anything stupid and really mess it all up, he's going to be really fucking popular.
	Look at these approval ratings.
	Of these 11 main executive orders, half of people approve of what he's doing, and only 37% disapprove.
	These are not the end times.
	These are the signs of a democracy functioning well, as intended.
	I mean, I never thought I would be in the timeline where CNN would print the article, Donald Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do.
	Believe it or not, this is the system functioning as intended, and nobody's getting hurt.
	The worst thing that's happening, and the worst that MSNBC and CNN can dredge up from this terrible, terrible ban, is people being inconvenienced for a few months.
	Well, I'm really sorry that that's the case, but unfortunately you have to understand, there are larger issues at stake.
	Sometimes someone is going to have to be inconvenienced.
	That's just how life works.
	Unfortunately, this time it is these people and not these other people who have been inconvenienced for many years with declining wages, declining living standards, declining opportunities, declining influence in their own politics, or so they thought, until they decided that they would actually just vote the way that would work for them.
	And now suddenly, for the majority of people, it is working.
	They are happy with what's being done.
	And it didn't even take death camps.
	What a fucking surprise.
	Liberal democracies work.
	Professor, people are going to die because of white Trump voters.
	I think there are two groups of people in this room.
	There are white dudes like me who have lots of power, and there's the other people in this room.
	And so I'm going to divide what I'm saying here about them, he stated.
	For people who are not in power, for people who are not in that group, I'm not going to tell you how to feel and how to be.
	I'm just going to invite you to feel and be any way you want.
	Let's be clear, this is violence!
	People are going to die because of what happened.
	Professor, do get a grip.
	Try to retain your composure and remember the dignity of your station.
	You are making people hysterical, and you need to stop it.
	It's professors like this who are encouraging their radical left-wing students to revolt and riot and cause trouble and attack people.
	There is a reason Berkeley happened.
	There were staff, there was faculty in the fucking Antifar block.
	And there is a reason that 65,000 people have signed the petition to classify Antifar as a terrorist group.
	And I'll give you a perfect example of why.
	Leftist Fight Club trains University of Central Florida students to fight Republicans.
	The Knights FOR Socialism group at the University OF Central Florida held a workshop Sunday to teach left-wing students how, to quote, bash the fash with a leftist fight club open to everyone but Republicans who, I guess, are playing the fascists in this fucking LARPing fantasy.
	And, like I've said in previous videos, I don't think these people are capable of overthrowing the government, but I do think they're capable of beating innocent civilians in the street for simply having a different political position to them.
	And that's only because we have so many fucking examples of it.
	How many people have to be hit with fly poles or sprayed in the face or knocked unconscious, or a guy getting shot?
	I mean like, how far does this have to go before we say right okay yeah, these are actually a domestic terrorist group and anyone associated with it is associating with a known terrorist group and should go on a terrorist watch list.
	The dean of the university only became aware of this when other students began to report the existence of the disturbing event because it was scaring them.
	This is the banner of the Facebook group of a club that is meeting at a university to teach people how to beat up Republicans.
	This is what is happening.
	How is this not a terrorist cell.
	Yes, I agree they are nowhere near the IRA or your average Islamic State suicide bomber, but these people are still planning on using violence for political purposes, such as intimidation, and that's just what they're doing now.
	We don't know what they're going to be doing in six months time, how much further they're going to escalate this.
	I mean, listen to the way they think.
	The event planner specifically urged women to attend because they expect a rise in sexual violence due to the election of Donald Trump.
	Ladies, the commander in thief is a sexual predator and a rapist.
	He has normalized, Normalized sexual assault, and it is expected that sexual violence against women is going to skyrocket in the next 12 months.
	Please join us, there will be other women there for you to spar against.
	That's a fucking unhinged point of view.
	I'm just, I mean, I've got no other way of describing it.
	No, he hasn't normalized sexual assault.
	You fucking idiots.
	Seriously, though, I actually do think the radical Marxist left are a time bomb.
	I think that there is going to be some severe political violence coming out of there in the near future.
	And I think it's something we really should be worried about.
	I mean, but Shia LaBeouf couldn't even do his stupid installation without being trolled and then assaulting someone and being arrested for it.
	And the fact that there were repeated violent instances outside of this He Will Not Divide Us stream ended up getting it shut down by the museum.
	We're going to take a look at one example that just exemplifies all of the problems of the left in a nutshell.
	This guy is an absolute lunatic.
	This is Jack Smith4, a senior writer at Mike.com.
	And this was a well-shared article that he did before the stream was shut down about how that Shia LaBeouf anti-Trump art installation has rapidly devolved into a neo-Nazi broadcast network.
	Mostly because trolls go there and troll.
	There have been some actual neo-Nazis at He Will Not Divide Us, but they're so few in number and so rare that you wouldn't know unless this guy was showcasing them.
	And when the live stream shut down, he says, well, that was fast.
	Shia LaBeouf's art installation has been shut down due to white supremacist invasion.
	actually mostly due to 4chan invasion and the fact that the people fucking manning and chanting he will not divide us have got absolutely no fucking self-restraint or sense of humour.
	The articles are linked in the sources and if you read them they are, I mean he does encapsulate the entire article in his tweet.
	He just goes through the standard regressive talking points of boom boom boom.
	Everyone I hate's a Nazi.
	This is all their fault.
	We're not to blame.
	They're provoking all this violence.
	Blah blah blah.
	Woe is us, woe is us, woe is us.
	And then he goes on in this sort of Twitter chain explaining what's going on with chugging whole milk is now a sign of white racial purity for internet neo-Nazis, which is an article he has written.
	Then he says, it's not even just a milk is white thing.
	There's a whole pseudo-scientific exploration of what ethnic white groups can process lactose.
	Tweeted out with a picture of lactase hotspots, which he had linked to from within his article, a well-known white supremacist blog called nature.com, the International Weekly Journal of Science, an article called Archaeology the Milk Revolution about how at some point about 7,500 years ago, people inhabiting what is now Hungary developed the ability to process milk as adults, which is something that most of the world loses as they grow out of childhood.
	And this was highly advantage for their survival because milk is a very good source of calories.
	And this article points out that this is just an evolutionary adaptation that is not unique to white people.
	They were just studying the evidence from Hungary.
	I'm sure that they will do the same in West Africa or the Arabian Peninsula or Pakistan.
	And it's hypothesized that this is a way of improving mortality rates in the events of floods or famines.
	Terribly white supremacist, I'm sure you'll agree, but it doesn't stop there.
	He then says, it's stunning that none of the trolls thought to glamorise the milk obsession by pointing to the links between fascism and milk in pop culture.
	The links between fascism and milk?
	I mean, that is a picture of a clockwork orange, which is not a fascist film.
	It is an anarchist film.
	It's an anarchist classic.
	Fucking...
	And it's not even milk, it's alcohol.
	And that's not even milk, it's alcohol.
	Fucking, what are you talking about?
	Where have you gone?
	This is nonsense.
	And do you know how I know it's nonsense?
	I just went to two different sources within these communities and asked them.
	Quote, it's just a way to troll them, and it worked.
	And from the second source, it began with idiot SJW slash black supremacists saying that milk was the white man's poison.
	They reasoned this because blacks have a higher rate of lactose intolerance.
	We picked up on it and parodied it on Shire's stream, and then it kicked off.
	They're just trolling you.
	You look stupid.
	And your inability to have a sense of humor about yourselves got Shire's stream shut down.
	You keep taking the bait like complete morons.
	University apologises with heavy hearts and great embarrassment for Hitler's Valentine's Day card.
	Do you think I needed to do any further investigation on this to realize that this was a troll?
	My love for you burns like 6,000 Jews to from with a picture of Hitler.
	This is not news, this is stupidity.
	For the Washington Post to feel the need to cover this is stupidity.
	This grossly offensive action of one individual, a non-student, has deeply distressed our campus community.
	Shut up.
	Just shut up.
	Would you just stop?
	You're focusing on complete nonsense, and you're hyping up all of this bullshit in the process.
	I'll leave a link in the sources to a Federalist article that details 16 other fake news stories in what the three weeks Trump has been president.
	This is unbelievable.
	There are just simply too many for me to go through.
