Sargon's Biggest Mistake
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Okay, so as some of you may have already realized, I am not Sargon.
So for those of you who have subscribed for well-researched and even killed commentary to enlighten you regarding the pressing issues of the day imparted in a soft reassuring British accent, yeah, you people are shit out of luck because we ain't gonna be doing none of that.
What we're gonna be doing is examining something I said a while ago in a video I made about Steve Shias, I think.
An observable reality that there are people who don't really fit within either one of those two boxes.
That male box or that female box, they're not technically really in any of them.
They share aspects of both.
So then the question becomes, what do you call those people?
Now, lots of people didn't quite get what I meant by that.
So I got wave upon wave of people trying to talk to me about like chromosomes and genitals and a whole mess of shit.
Now in fairness, this was due to me.
Everyone has a process when making a video.
Some people do copious amounts of research and write entire scripts full of incredibly well-detailed and laid out plans with sources and arguments nailing every single fucking point in the most precise manner possible.
My process seems to revolve around me drinking enough crack and rum to offset my natural state of apathy and ensure that I actually give a fuck about what I'm talking about for long enough to rant about it and edit together a reasonable or some might argue, reasonable video, once all the bullshit and superfluous crap has been cut out of that rant, because some of the tangents I go on some of them are just like I didn't.
Yeah, I don't even care, I don't even care.
Male specific scented candles are easily the gayest shit I've ever fucking seen.
The fact that your scented candles come in like a black box and are called morning wood or smoky mountain fires or some shit.
You're still spending money that could have easily gone on beer.
So yeah, go fuck yourself, faggot.
And that's an interesting thing, because I specifically remembered listening back to the Steve Shy's comment about sex and I remembered thinking to myself I should probably clip that one out, because I knew some ears would prick up and i'd have to explain myself ad nauseum for fucking, like fucking years.
But that point was sort of tied into another point, so I decided to leave it in.
I was like eh, all right fine, it bit the bullet, left it in, hoping I might have got away with it, but I didn't which, in a way, is kind of good because it led to this video.
If it if if, if people decide that was a good thing, this guy shit, bring back Sargon.
Yeah I, I feel you man, I feel you, um.
But anyway, anytime people talk about sex, that conversation gets really confusing really fast, because people automatically jump to what they consider sex to be, which is why you'll have numerous people start dropping signs on you the second you start talking about it.
They start ranting about, like fucking, how the line in the sand is gamtees or like Chromazones or a ton of other shit, and curiously, they never find each other to argue with, which is weird.
So if that's Right now, furiously typing your comment right now, stop.
I see you, motherfucker.
Just no, just no.
What we're discussing isn't beliefs of mine or anything.
It's just something I've been thinking about for a while.
And I think the consequences of a lot of this shit are very interesting.
So we need to concede a lot of stuff and take a lot of things as given in order to get to that interesting conversation.
And the price for that conversation is conceding the point that sex and gender is a spectrum.
Don't kill me.
I know.
I know.
It's painful.
It goes against all your natural instincts, but trust me, just go with it.
Consider it some kind of troll toll, if you will.
Because you gotta pay the troll toll to get inside a boy's hole.
Anyway, pretty soon you'll realize that even though you've accepted the points, all this shit conflicts with crap in the real world in pretty fucking awesome ways.
For instance, we all know that there's a social aspect to gender and how SJWs endlessly bitch about, you know, respecting pronouns and whatnot.
That's part of that.
The thing is, in SJW land, gender is self-identifying.
Your gender is something that's meant to be defined by you.
Sex, however, is still not self-defined.
That is something that is descriptive.
It's an area where your opinion has no real bearing on your classification, which is very inconvenient for people who want to break this concept of, you know, the binary and all that shit.
So how do SJWs deal with this?
Well, they introduce the spectrum and they talk about aberrations in the binary.
And in fairness, some of these arguments are not without merit and can.
I can see where they're coming from, but where they often fail.
And often with glaring hypocrisy and potentially awesome opportunities, and we'll get there.
They become pretty apparent when you try to apply these ideas in any capacity to the real world.
And that's often the problem with these arguments.
They suffer a great deal from one simple truth.
And that truth is that they just don't really fucking matter because there's barely any real world effects of applying any of this shit.
Like, what's been the greatest debate surrounding gender identity issues in the real world lately?
Trans people using a different bathroom in a store in America?
I mean, who gives a fuck?
I don't even care what bathroom you use.
I mean, the men's bathroom is typically disgusting, but hey, at least you don't have to wait 45 minutes to get into the fucking thing, right?
So you fucked either way.
You pick your poison.
I mean, aside from that, the only other thing that comes to mind is the debate of our age.
And that's whether or not traps are gay, which I don't even know why the fuck is a debate.
Clearly, they're not.
And if you think they are, well, then I hope you die in a fire.
And you scream in agony.
Okay, fuck it.
What's next?
But there is one area where this shit surrounding sex and gender does matter, where it does have a huge impact.
Sports.
Sports organizations have been plagued with clusterfucks surrounding rules and regulations as they try to embrace and accommodate more diversity and changing attitudes towards different genders and crap.
With the social justice lobby just gradually chipping away at rules which are meant to ensure competition is not only fair, but competitive, which is something a lot of them seem to fucking forget.
Take, for instance, Fallon Fox.
Now, for the uninitiated, Fallon Fox is a transgender MMA fighter, as in male to female.
This is a man who transitioned to a woman and fights women.
This is also a man who transitioned to a woman who fights women who didn't tell some of the women that she had fought and was booked to fight that she was trans.
And as much as the social justice types were desperate to hold her up as a hero of our age, it's a very tough sell when you have to look at the trail of blood and shattered bones left in her wake.
That was gay.
He's not gonna ask her.
Exactly
does one consolidate trying to expand the definitions of rape and violence against women to encompass fucking tweets whilst treating Fallon Fox as a hero of our age because he had the good graces to cut his fucking dick off before she started kicking his shit out of women.
It's a weird one, which is why, beyond yay, diversity, you don't tend to hear much about it.
Which itself is pretty telling.
I mean, you think there'd be loads of debate and everything with all this shit, but even at the time, it was like, nah.
I mean, in the MMA community, yeah, but nowhere else.
When it came to the normies, and what do you think?
You're going to say more, same oh, oh, so stunning, so brave.
But nothing substantive.
When the differences of this shit are laid out in front of them in a broken and bloody mess, suddenly they don't have shit to say besides calling you a bigot and blocking you as standard.
Even Fallon Fox herself can barely defend the idea that she should be allowed to compete with women when other fighters say they wouldn't fight her because she has too much of a natural advantage.
But just look at Fallon's response to Ronda Rousey saying that she wouldn't fight her.
First of all, I really wish Rhonda would stop with the ridiculous bone structure arguments that was so last year.
Last year?
Bitch, bone density don't change that fast.
Second, she should tell her boss to put me in the octagon over there at UFC.
I'm quite sure that there are quite a few female MMA fighters who would have the guts to fight another skilled woman without being in their panties and saying, no, I wouldn't fight her.
I think they may be a little bit more mentally tough and say, I'll fight a trans woman just like I'll fight a lesbian woman or a black woman, etc.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Motherfucker, one of those things is not like the other.
They may throw all kinds of bankrupt bogus bone density or bone structure arguments in to possibly save face if they lose because they sense that people are ignorant on bones within the sport.
But at least some of them are the real deal in the way of fighting.
Fuck you.
Even a person who beat your ass said you shouldn't be fighting against other women.
She said that she felt you hit significantly harder than anyone else actually thought, including some of her male training partners.
When even the people who have beaten you are turning around and saying like, yeah, that was bullshit.
I shouldn't have been put through that.
There's no fucking way she should be in the same ring with women.
You need to revisit that whole fucking mentality.
Ronda Rousey may not be right about what advantages she thinks I have, but at least she isn't mentally weak.
And wait, does that mean that makes Ronda Rousey more tough than Misha Tate?
Because Misha Tate recently said, oh, well, I'll just let you dig to find that one.
Oh, I think Ronda Rousey knows damn well what advantages you do and do not have.
Yeah, Misha Tate, somebody who would rather have her fucking arm break than tap out, said, I am fighting this bitch.
Just like Ronda Rousey and just like Ashley Evan Smith, the person who kicks your ass.
And the reason that she kicks your ass is because she was better than you.
Because contrary to what you believe, you are not a good fighter.
Your striking is crap.
Your ground game is crap.
Your cardio is fucking obscene.
You have one thing and one thing only going for you.
And that's the fact that you used to be a fucking dude.
And look how far that took you.
Amazingly, it turns out that women who actually have to deal with being punched in the face by Fallon Fox aren't too keen on the prospect.
Even after they've beaten her, as was the case with Ashley Evans Smith.
I feel like there should be a unique organization for those needs, you know?
She did have an advantage.
She definitely did.
This also presents really interesting quirks when it comes to rules and guidelines and shit.
Like, take for instance, the Olympics.
The Olympics, or rather the International Olympic Committee, they've been navigating a minefield of this shit for decades.
For decades, they have tried to create rules and guidelines to ensure nobody has an advantage and everybody's equal, which when you think about it, is actually quite a suspicion task because athletic exceptionalism is kind of the entire fucking point of that competition.
And wouldn't you know it, it turns out that people who can run faster, jump higher, throw further and lift more than the other 7 billion people on the planet occasionally have a genetic component or two that helps them out in that regard.
Fucking shocking, I know.
Now, with the Olympics, they seem to be of the opinion that it's all about testosterone, which is weird given the extent to which testosterone can fluctuate based not only on time of day and diet and activity, but a whole host of conditions, which was the reason they expanded the rules in the first place.
This is a South African runner and Olympic gold medalist, Casta Semenya.
Casta Semenya, whose name some of you have probably already noticed, contains the word semen.
And as far as we know, that may not be the only part of her that contains semen, because Casta Semenya was barred from competing after it was discovered she had quote unquote both male and female traits, which resulted in higher than normal levels of testosterone.
Now, details of this shit are few and far between, but whatever is up with her seems to be naturally occurring.
Which was why when the IAAF, I think that's right, International Athletics Association.
Yeah, IAAF announced a hyper-androgynism rule where people who were deemed to fall into this ruling had to get medical treatment, including, in some instances, surgery.
As you can imagine, this led to quite the backlash, especially within academia.
I know.
I know, it's just one shocking revelation after another, isn't it?
But in all fairness, there was a lot of good points raised in this paper, for example, which outlined that in addition to the ethical issues and poorly stated intent of the ruling, there were also other concerns, like the fact that only one organization would be prepared to pay for the medical cost to enforce that ruling.
And even then, they weren't going to do shit about aftercare or loss of earnings or any of that crap.
But the reality of this shit is that governing bodies like the International Olympic Committee are never going to win.
They're looking for a one-size-fits-all solution to a problem which isn't a problem.
Genetic mutations and aberrations are what drive evolution.
It's the reason we're here.
So fuck it.
Why not embrace it?
No one else has a better idea.
So fuck you.
Now, as I see it, there's two long-term solutions to this.
And you're not going to like either of them.
Well, at first, at least.
We are going somewhere.
Believe me.
So the common sense approach that I see floated around quite often is to just have like a third sexual classification, which will basically function as a big box with a massive question mark on it to function as a place to put everyone who falls outside of normal ranges for everything.
Now, even those of you who are shaking your heads in disgust at me right now, just at the thought of legitimizing the concept that there are more than two genders, lest we lose yet another meme, even you probably acknowledge that if this is a problem and something has to be done, then this is probably the way to go.
A common sense solution following a simple line of logic.
We have people who don't fit in these categories, so make a category that they fit into.
Problem solved.
I feel you.
But that will never happen because then you run into a whole host of issues where people born with a genetic abnormality which puts them outside of normal ranges are cast out of their natural grouping to compete with what will quickly be considered the freak show.
Even if nobody says it.
With trans people, the concept of passing is such a massive deal that they're likely to fight against being labeled as some kind of third sex tooth and nail.
Cis people with freakishly high or even low testosterone or a myriad of other conditions and traits, they won't want to be forced into competing with trans people.
I mean forgetting the disadvantages or advantages in competing in that kind of scenario, no cis woman wants everyone questioning whether or not she's a man.
So look at Michelle Obama.
She killed Joan Rivers over that shit.
At least according to Alex Jones.
And, you know, you doubted him about the frogs being gay, but what now, motherfucker?
What now?
In any case, the third sex thing that would just never pass.
It's a non-starter.
Which leaves the only other option, which is the exact option that SJWs would push for, which is to completely disregard sex and gender-based norms and treat everything as a spectrum.
Which, on the surface, it may seem impractical.
And it may also seem like a hell of a concession.
But I think it's a fucking great idea.
Now, here's why.
Here's why before you lynch me.
If you're not going to have divisions based on gender or sex, then you need to have some kind of system of handicaps and controls.
Much like horse racing.
In horse racing, if there's a really great horse that will fuck up the betting, they just shove a shitload of weight on its back to handicap it and keep things entertaining.
Now, obviously, you need something more sophisticated for human beings.
It doesn't make much sense to just handicap people based on the fact that they're really good at something.
But you can tweak things to make an unfair situation maybe a little bit more fair.
And if you're tailoring the rules to the specification of the competitors, then suddenly a lot of things start to become surplus to requirements.
Weight classes and divisions of all kinds.
Who the fuck needs them?
Nobody.
Nobody needs them.
So imagine after the passing of time and people's natural inclination to push things as far as they possibly can, a situation emerges where this guy is slated to fight this guy.
Okay, Brock Lesnar, you are a former heavyweight UFC champion and elite level wrestler and a fucking freak of nature who, even if you were in a comic book, people would probably still say, shit man, that dude's pretty big.
Sheldon, you are a fictional TV character on a mediocre show who would probably get knocked over by a strong breeze.
Clearly, we need to work this out.
So here's what I'm thinking, Sheldon gets a knife.
Any objections?
Uh, what hell chap?
Yes uh, I have an objection.
I am not made of stone and a sharp object like that could pierce me quite easily and I could very easily bleed out.
I believe that is a disproportionate advantage to this young man over here.
All right, what if we gave you some kind of partial armor?
Would that do?
Oh yes, why am I that?
Why that sounds like it may be this Giving in the All Park affair bullshit blood.
That's that's, that's some bullshit.
Right there, you're going to fight an armor plated hulk with a fucking penknife.
All right, fair point, I get it.
Uh, you may want a bit more reach.
How about we just give you a straight up sword?
Then hold on now here whoa whoa, a sword.
Look, this armor is good and everything to work around with like a short object or whatnot, but a fucking sword.
All right, all right Brock, I tell you what.
We'll give you a shield, and then that should negate what the fuck is give him at the point of giving me a sword.
If you're gonna give him a shield okay fine, then how about we give you a shield as well?
Hold on now.
Then that's not, that's not very fair.
Like this is all I have my defensive capabilities, and now you're giving him both offensive and defensive capabilities, and including the same fucking defensive capabilities.
What are you thinking, man?
Okay, let's think this through.
Okay, new approach.
Brock, you get the armor, the shield and a short sword, Sheldon.
You get a net, a trident, and some kind of like sturdy but maneuverable armor, say leather or something.
Yeah, I don't think there's that much room in a cage to be wielding a fucking trident around and shit, it seems like kind of close quarters and, to be honest with you, I think that's an unfair advantage to this motherfucker right here.
All right, all right, I tell you what it's.
Uh, we'll move it out of the cage and into some sort of like I don't know Coliseum or something.
Well look, Hold on now, hold on now.
If I'm fighting in the middle of a massive fucking coliseum in the huge armor and massive shields and chasing this motherfucker around all over the place, I need some way to ensure that he's not just going to continually run away from me like a fucking cowardly little shit that he is.
All right, I'll tell you what.
How about we have tigers kind of patrolling the perimeter to make sure that you kind of are forced into the middle if anyone gets too out of hand?
Fucking tigers?
How big is this arena going to be?
It's gotta be a fair old size to accommodate all this shit.
But I think that's everybody's concerns covered right now.
Right?
Well, there was one thing I was wondering.
Oh, fucking what now?
Is it not going to be really hard for the crowd to see what's happening in the arena, given the increased size?
I don't worry about it.
We'll just give them fucking free bread or something.
Ah, very good.
Yes.
Now that really sounds like progress.
Don't even try to tell me that you wouldn't want that shit.
We could even have Joaquim Phoenix oversee the whole thing as well.
Like give the thumbs up and thumbs down.
Are you still alive, isn't he?
I think.
And it doesn't end there.
Because if this shit ever happened, you know that animals are just around the corner.
I mean, just think about it.
Lions, tigers, bears.
Oh, what's that?
Corporate overlords, which have probably already seen this video get demonetized?
You don't want Peta on your case?
Well, at least for Peter, they ain't doing shit to save tigers, short of taking nude photos of celebrities.
Here's an actual incentive to kick up our conservation efforts.
People give those like canned hunting organizations in Africa shit about letting people shoot lions and whatnot, but who the fuck needs to breed lions?
Why?
Why the fuck would you do that if not to profit from shooting them in the fucking head?
Do you have any idea how much you need to feed a goddamn lion?
It costs about 10 grand a year to keep the fucking things alive.
What other reason would you possibly have to breed lions?
This is a perfect scenario, dammit.
This is a scenario where everybody wins.
Well, except for the people who lose in the arena, obviously.
But this is, I mean, this.
All right, I just really want to see a man fight a fucking bear.
Is that too much to ask?
Really?
Can't I want what I want?
Is that so bad?
I don't know why I want to see it so badly.
I suspect it might have something to do with that documentary by Werner Herzog, Grizzly Man, which was one of the greatest unintentional comedies I have ever fucking seen.
It basically revolved around a gay dude who desperately wanted to be straight and was clearly struggling with being gay, going out into the wilderness to record footage of bears whilst talking to the camera as if it's his psychiatrist, as if there's nobody on the other end of it at any point.
All in very close proximity to bears who...
Well, I mean...
I love you, cracker.
I do love it.
She's my friend.
She's a good friend.
Like, you know what I mean?
Literally asking for it.
Anyway, all the way through this film, you're aware that the subjects of this film, the guy you just saw, Timothy Treadwell, and his beard, I mean, is his girlfriend, they die from a bear attack.
This is known.
This is from the beginning.
And through the entirety of this fucking film, this motherfucker, the director, Werner Herzog, not only continually injects himself to impart his own views on nature and morality like anyone gives a flying fuck, then this rat bastard son of a bitch for the big finale that everybody's waiting for, the audio recording of the two people who have watched the entire film being killed, which the film kind of implies it's going to be showing the whole fucking way through,
simultaneously preparing you for it and making you actually fucking want to hear it.
And that's a really sadistic fucking part.
I didn't really want to hear it or see it until he teased it for an hour and a half.
Like ah, this fucking guy.
But then spoiler, you don't get to see or hear shit.
You know what you get for the big finale?
You get to see this motherfucker sit down and listen to the recording himself and then telling the woman who owns the recording to never listen to it and to destroy it.
Like, what a brick.
I mean, epic level troll, but still, I have to say, I hope to God Werner Herzog dies whilst live streaming or some shit, just so that I can get recording off it to masturbate to.
I was, why would you do that?
Why would you want to do that?
I tell you why I'd want to do that, because there's a slim possibility that Werner Herzog at some point may hear this comment.
And I would fucking love for that comment to be the last thing that goes for his mind before he dies.
Me wanking over the thought of him dying.
Because we can all play these mind games, you fucking asshole.
So yeah, after that epic cockbook, I just, I kind of want to see a man fight a bear.
And if I have to allow SKWs to get a big old tick in the wind column, then that shit just has to happen.
And come on, man, I can't be alone in this shit, right?
There's only one type of person I suspect would be against me in this endeavor, other than Werner Herzog himself.
Cunt that he is.
I mean, call me cynical, but I suspect a correlation between the people who would prevent this from happening and the people who would argue that traps are in fact gay.
Now, call me paranoid, call it a hunch, but the kind of rigid inflexibility and fear of new ideas one would need to be holding onto in order to assert that straight men finding people who look like attractive women to be attractive, gay, seems exactly like the kind of backwards thinking that would prevent me from seeing a man get mauled to death by a bear in an arena.
Whilst eating snacks.
Preferably matchos.
I'm gonna kill the bear.
Say it again.
I'm gonna kill the bear.
Say it again.
I'm gonna kill the bear.
Oh, he better fucking not.
Point being, you can talk about traps being gay as much as you want, but if you are going to stand in the way of the kind of progressive policies that may one day lead to us seeing a man and a bear stand together in an arena as equals and fight to the death,
