John Doyle is a conservative political commentator and YouTuber who gained popularity for his critiques of leftist ideologies, progressive politics, and social justice activism.
He was born in 1998 and started his career as a commentator in 2018, gaining a following on YouTube, Twitter, and other social media platforms.
He is known for his commentary on various topics such as politics, culture, and social issues, often from a conservative perspective. He has been associated with the American conservative organization Turning Point USA and has also been a guest on Fox News.
There is a lot of really funny stuff on there, but you have to use it for a while to kind of like get the algorithm to know that you don't want to watch horrors.
You'd rather watch like, you know, racist memes or something.
So the first 24 hours you have a TikTok account, you're basically just seeing like really hot 20-year-olds dance like which I was not willing to make that investment, you know.
I've been, yeah, like I said, I've been trying to figure out how to get an army to do that.
Like, that's one of the things that was so cool about Andrew Tate was that whole strategy that he had, but he built in like a real sort of MLM structure to incentivize that behavior and it really worked.
But I'm trying to figure out how to do that, not just for me, but just in general, because we're coming up on like a really important election.
And I think that there are a lot of people on the right who feel really helpless about what they can do.
And even just doing shit like being a content warrior, you know, clipping other people's stuff, whether it's your show or my show or Infowars or whatever you agree with, it can really make a difference, man.
Like the left is so much better at knocking and walking and making calls and harvesting ballots, but we should be owning the social media space as much as we can.
I wish I had a moment that was like, you know, Chris Kyle watching the towers come down where he's like, I know what I need to do.
It was just like, I grew up listening to, I guess, Mark Levin or Bill O'Reilly in the background of my house.
So I was like vaguely or instinctively right wing or Republican.
And then I started to get really into it during the Obama administration.
But at the time, I mean, I was only like 10, 12 years old.
So I'm reaching sort of my peak or my plateau or cap in terms of how involved in it I can really get, not only because I'm 12 years old, but also because your brain is just so undeveloped.
I mean, your concept of the world just needs to be so much more refined.
And so then when I got into high school, it just sort of continued.
And then I had, I told myself, I think when I graduated high school, that I wanted to, you know, throw my hat in the ring and see if I could, because I thought I would have something interesting to add to the conversation.
If I thought that, you know, it was being sufficiently articulated, then I would have just stood back and stood by and I would have gone to law school or something.
But I did think that the predominant like right-wing media conglomerate was missing out on a lot that needed to be discussed.
And so I took my Subway nest egg and I bought a bunch of equipment and I started making content and then it took off pretty quickly, actually.
It's uh, I guess since I've reached the age of reason, so to speak, I don't have any memories of like, you know, a social environment or like in a middle school or high school.
And, you know, it would come around every four years.
I imagine now it's much more proliferated because of things like Black Lives Matter or the whole Roe v.
Wade thing.
I imagine now, like, you can't escape it at all.
But there was like every four years, you know, it would come up.
And I remember during the Obama election in 2008, people were just asking, oh, who are you going to vote for?
Who are you going to vote for?
Which obviously, like, we're not voting, but it was to say, who are your parents voting for?
Like, who do you support?
And I remember there were only maybe three kids that were saying they supported McCain and I was one of them.
And then there was, yeah, like two more.
But I remember my teacher, Mrs. Gordon, she complimented this girl who had like an Obama pin that she was like wearing to school.
This girl who was a problem child, frankly.
I remember just like watching that happen.
And I was just kind of like, this is really weird.
Why is she like, you know, supporting this person or whatever?
And then.
I got in trouble because we had to do in my fourth grade class, we had a whole unit on black history.
So we had to do a project where we pick a black person and we do a whole presentation pretending to be them.
So like on the little like paper, they had at least like three times.
Do not do blackface if you are.
Do not do.
So I chose to do Obama.
And I told my dad, I was like, yeah, I'm going to do Obama.
And then he was like, he started getting all, you know, boomer about it.
He was like, oh, we're going to get you on Fox News.
This is going to be you.
Cause he wanted to make it like a big like F you to the Obama administration.
So I'm like taking my notes and everything.
I'm like, okay, this guy is like a rabble rouser over in Chicago, community organizer, drug user, probably gay.
And I remember the first like checkpoint was we had to take 10 notes on our person.
I remember Miss Pettaway, I shouldn't be saying these names, but my fourth grade teacher leaned over my shoulder and she was reading my notes and she was like, oh, well, we are going to need to like revisit this.
And so we had to have like a meeting with my dad and everything.
So then I was like, okay, I'll take it seriously because my dad was still like, this will defend.
I want to make this, you know, and my mom was like, no, he needs to pass.
So my mom told me that if I got an A on the project, I would get to go to Zap Zone Laser Tag.
And I was like, say less.
Sorry, dad.
So I did it.
I did it well.
Gave my Barack Obama presentation for Black History Month and I got a 95% on it, went to Zapzone, got 800 tickets, and I bought a Krusty the Clown stuff toy from the top shelf.
These are the kids that like wear the suit to school and they're like, all their opinions are like really just stale and uninteresting.
I was more of like a troll where, you know, I possess right wing opinions, but I really just kind of got off on like saying them to liberal kids in a way that not to like, you know, start something, but like, I'm not going to tell you that my most controversial opinion is like, I want a 10% flat tax.
Like I want to, I want to push your buttons a little bit more with the way that everything's going in this country.
So that's why I wasn't voted like most likely to be president.
That was the, you know, the dorky kid.
I was voted most likely to protest because I was just always, you know, getting in people's faces about these things.
Because by the time I got into high school, because Trump was running and so 2015, yeah, he announces in June 2015, school had just gotten out.
Now I'm back for my sophomore year and everybody's talking about it.
And I was like the only kid outspokenly in support of Donald Trump.
And I lost like all my friends because that's that's not like a high status opinion.
Like I was very popular.
Everyone liked me.
But then when you start to embrace low status opinions, you become like radioactive.
And so people don't want to be friends with you anymore.
But yeah, I imagine now it's like impossible.
And that's, you saw this too.
I mean, during like 2020, everyone was posting the black squares on Instagram.
Like you literally could not exist in any sort of social climate without demonstrating your support for the predominant narrative.
And you, when you were in school, I mean, I'm sure you never experienced anything like that.
Yeah, I think that that's probably it relies on like social capital that had already been built up.
But I think Obama sort of wedged himself such that the, I guess, the dam became more cracked.
So I think that like the things that have caused our country to be the way that it is now were more or less solidified during his administration, but it just wasn't as obvious to us yet because I mean, we're still being introduced to all this cool new technology and the culture is still relatively wholesome and crime's relatively under control.
People still think that we can like, I don't know, go to the moon again or solve traffic or build anything.
I was thinking about John F. Kennedy earlier because I've been messing around with some voice AI for some video content that I've been making.
And there's a really good deep fake tool you can use for his voice if you want, like a text to speech thing.
I was like, man, you know, it's terrible that he was assassinated, but it's awesome that America at one point in time was set up in such a way that you knew who to assassinate.
Like, yeah, I was thinking I was like, would I ever assassinate Joe Biden?
And I don't even say that like in the sense that like, oh, Biden sees a freaking dementia patient.
He's not in control.
Kamala's running the show.
It's like, no, neither of these people are running this show.
Obviously, if anything, it just vindicates how little power the president actually has.
The reason things are so bad isn't because Biden's incompetent.
It's because he's incompetent in the sense that he's not mentally present, that he's allowed more control of the show to be governed by the people who actually make the decisions.
Because somebody like Obama, I mean, guy's still a political actor.
He's still got an ego.
He still has a worldview.
He's going to have to negotiate with these people.
I mean, he knows how the game is played, but ultimately he's still going to have some stake in it.
Same with like a Trump.
I mean, obviously he's Trump, but Biden, I mean, he's literally just like whatever someone's telling him, oh, do this.
Do you think anybody's actually explicitly running the show?
Or do you think it's just the nature of large organizations when they reach a certain point that they sort of operate as almost like their own macro consciousness?
And it's not really any individual calling the shots.
Are we like run by a board of directors rather than any sort of actual executive authority now?
I don't think like people want there to be a villain whether the villain is the World Economic Forum or the Jews.
But it's like, I don't think it's that simple in the sense that these people operate as a class, which is to say that they can count on each other more or less doing things that benefit them without having to be explicitly conspiring.
And so there are certain things that benefit like the ruling class, whether it's mass immigration, offshoring manufacturing, endless wars.
I mean, these people don't have to like network with each other.
And a lot of times they've raised their children to just believe these things.
It's not as though they are doing it maliciously.
Perhaps like the incompetence is so extreme that it is malicious in a sense.
But I don't, though I will say it does help our side to because every mass movement needs there to be a villain.
So in conversation with you, I'll be a little bit more grounded.
But if I'm doing something on my channel or I'm giving a speech or something, it's these bad guys and we need good guys to go to.
I mean, it's intentionally ambiguous, but they're an all-encompassing.
And I believe it, but it's also something you have to take with a grain of salt.
Like, who the fuck are the leftists?
You mean like the guy that voted for the Democrats?
You mean Joe Biden?
Are they even really left-wing?
And are they even different from the Republicans?
Like, it's just this broad sort of like, it's just like what the Nazis did, frankly, where they just sort of blamed everything on the Jews.
And it was all the propaganda and all the messaging was designed around just sort of categorizing every problems as their, as the Jewish people being culpable, right?
And, but at the same token, I do think it, I think it's the fucking leftists.
I mean, yeah, it is because the people who do these things, I mean, by definition, they are leftists.
So it is sort of like a broad term, maybe a little bit of a reflexive knee jerk, but it's also true at the same time.
I mean, if you're advocating for things that are revolutionary, that are not conserving the country, that are like radical and unnatural, then yeah, you're a leftist.
I'm going to give you an exercise to do, and it's very controversial.
Okay.
I want to disclaim this exercise by saying that I am not a Nazi.
I think that Hitler was an evil bastard and I disavow all of his messages.
Okay.
That being said, if you take, if you buy a book of all of Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf, Mein Kampf's boring and it's clunky and it sucks.
His speeches are what actually got him to power because that's what he did to awaken the masses or whatever.
Awakens is the lack of a term.
Darken the masses.
I don't know, trick them, whatever.
If you take his speeches and you replace every usage of the word Jew or Jewish or anything Jew related with leftist, it makes perfect sense.
You know what I mean?
Like in today's context?
And that's kind of what I'm concerned about is like, as shit gets worse, the people are going to get more and more frustrated and radicalized.
And we're eventually going to pin it on someone, whether or not they're culpable, whether it's a group, whether it's white people, whether it's the Jews, whatever.
And there's going to be, we're going to have this huge power vacuum where there's room for somebody like Hitler.
I'm not saying it's going to be some anti-Semitic, you know, neo-Nazi, but it would be someone that radical in one direction or the other that's going to come to power.
I'm terrified of this, but at the same time, I'm like, I'm not going in the grave.
So, you know, we better figure out who it, but it's not going to be me.
And the communists, I mean, of course, they are very quite open about how they would love to kill conservatives, kill white people and put them in mass graves.
And so what I would like to happen is if that, if we get to that point where there is some radical figure, I would love it to be a radically right-wing figure, because at this point, the system is so corrupted.
I mean, the only thing that could change it is some like radical force.
I mean, if you have like, for example, cancer cells, you need chemotherapy.
I mean, if you have, you know, lots of bacteria, you need bleach, like you need something toxic to get in there and cleanse the system to cleanse the government.
So say we have you, you know, you ascend to power, you become a dictator or something.
Am I really going to like lose sleep over this idea of you like mass deporting all illegal aliens, putting like, you know, the traitors in the government in jail?
No, I'm not.
You give one of those speeches, but you're just saying the left.
I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
However, because it's true, but what's probably going to happen is things are going to get worse.
The material standard of living is going to decline and it's going to be blamed on Christians.
It's going to be blamed on white people, conservatives, because it's this idea of progress.
I mean, the hypothesis is so like metaphysically true that progress is good.
And if right now we aren't living in good conditions, then the only thing that could be causing it, obviously, is those who are impediments to progress, which are conservatives.
I just, I probably, if it gets to that point, they're, I don't know if it would be a communist, you might see something like an American Hugo Chavez, but I don't think we're going to have some situation where, you know, there's like an American Caesar.
I really hope so, because that would be great, but I don't think it's going to happen, at least not in the next 10, 15 years.
At some point, I do believe this country will correct itself because it's impossible for it not to.
But in terms of what we're going to see first, I think that the radical reaction is probably actually going to be from the farthest left before it's from the right.
Yeah, I think there's, I think that's all very reasonable.
My concern about a correction is that anywhere in life where you make a correction, whether you try to lose weight, whether you try to get out of debt, whatever it is that you're facing, it's always really fucking painful to make the correction.
You have to do like the work, right?
You have to, as Jordan Peterson say, you're off the mic, you're bad, right?
And so since things are so screwed up right now, I can't imagine how painful the healthy correction is.
Like, all right, look, what happens if we admit that the dollar is worthless?
You know, like, is it going to collapse totally?
And then we start a new thing with a gold standard and like everybody loses everything.
But at least we fixed it and we restart.
Like it's going to hurt no matter what.
And that's why they keep kicking the can because nobody wants to like get caught with their pants down when the when the song goes off and there's no chairs to sit in, right?
Nobody wants to be holding the bomb when it explodes.
And so I don't know.
I'm just worried that even if we correct, it's going to be brutal.
Probably, but it's probably less brutal than what's going to happen if we don't.
Because if we don't, I mean, not only is the dollar going to collapse, you're going to have the country completely run by like criminal gangs and cartels.
And we don't really have like a military force or a police force that would be able to contend with that, whether because at that point they are underfunded or disorganized or because like our federal government, who would be in charge of protecting American citizens, is now pretty much hostile towards them more so than they all, more so than they are already, such that, you know, oh, sorry, we didn't get the call in time.
Oh, sorry, you know, like that, I mean, that's why they're shipping these people to red states.
I mean, they want red states to have to deal with the consequences of mass immigration from the third world.
So say things reach a sort of, oh, what's the term in physics?
A critical mass where you've got not like a full, you know, dramatic Mad Max collapse, but you've got like chaos.
The federal government would ignore like red states being terrorized by criminal gangs and cartels to focus on, you know, oh, well, these poor people in the blue states, oh, well, these people, but like they wouldn't cover it in the media.
It would be totally swept under the rug.
And they certainly wouldn't send immediately like federal troops or aid or anything to deal with that.
It would be completely incumbent upon the states to deal with things like that.
And you're dealing with something as sophisticated as like a Mexican drug cartel.
The only thing that could combat that is like federal police, the military.
And so, yeah, I think they're very happy to like allow things to get to that point.
The reason for that is because like a civil war, I mean, when I think of a civil war, I think of like Syria.
Our civil war was a war of secession.
And both sides had independent cultures.
I mean, there was overlap, obviously.
They had a separate class of elites.
There was like a distinct boundary.
We don't have that.
I mean, our boundaries would be like, you know, cities versus suburbs or more rural areas.
But the problem is the right wing doesn't have any elites.
We don't have any elites on our side.
We've got maybe like Peter Schiff or not Peter Schiff.
Well, yeah, Peter Schiff, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, maybe.
I mean, you know, we've got like a handful, but in terms of like all the people with the power, they're all overwhelmingly far left.
And whether or not we like it, I mean, every time there's been a successful regime change or revolution or civil war, whatever, it's always like been backed by elite support and institutional support.
We also have no institutional support.
We've got think tanks, we've got law enforcement, kind of, and we've got like some part of the military.
You need like the people who actually are in positions of power.
You don't even need like all those people, but you can have enough, which is why I don't think we'd ever have a civil war or some sort of like uprising because people pretty much go along with whatever's happening.
It's really like a spectator sport between the people behind the scenes in these institutions playing tug of war.
And so that's good news in the sense that if we could take those institutions back, we could avoid all of this.
The problem is, will the right do that?
Probably not, because there are so many barriers, whether because of affirmative action or like cancel culture.
I mean, even motivation.
I mean, the average right-wing guy who's up and coming is much happier to, you know, go do his own thing.
Because that's the other thing with conservatives, like physiologically or psychologically, we don't feel obligated to actively work to conserve.
They're very happy to make their entire life's mission, like destroying America just because they hate their dad.
And so you've got like some, say, 125 IQ white guy who is conservative and he could, you know, go work at some institution, climb the ladder, be a competent political figure, but he'd rather go work in finance or he'd rather go, you know, clerk at a law firm or something like that, which is almost like you can't blame them.
You can't fault them.
I mean, it sucks that we are collectively in this position.
I sort of like had a friend enemy moment where I was like, wait a minute, if the liberals like Lincoln, okay, I guess that puts me on the other side.
So I read some figure that the Confederate soldiers, upwards of like 90% of them could trace their lineage back to before the founding.
With the EU soldiers, it was like 40% because they had all these Ellis Islanders coming over and fighting.
And so, you know, obviously I'm not pro-slavery at all, but there is something disturbing about seeing how the Union literally leveraged mass immigration as a war strategy because you've got all these guys who are like, hey, here's a rifle.
I think, I don't think they are necessarily trying to win a war geopolitically, but I think that the military now would be very happy to turn rifles against its own citizens with like the class of people who currently occupies it if it came to that point.
He is at least elevating issues to the mainstream that are very important.
And he has like a refreshing display of agency.
Like I hear him talk and it's like an actual person talking.
It's not like, you know, some comms director's speech that's being written.
It's like or being read.
He's an actual person with like thoughts and a history of actually just not doing so for public benefit, but just doing so because he has like a fixation on it, like advocacy for these things.
And so he talks a lot about how our country is literally poisoned by our food and water supplies.
That's a huge issue.
I mean, that contributes to why people are leftists.
I mean, leftism is really like a biological phenomenon in the way that it exists now.
You've got all these people who are depressed, spiritually ill, dysgenic freaks.
And there's a reason like all the Antifa mugshots look the same.
Like these people are not healthy.
And a lot of that is because the hormones are completely messed up from endocrine disruptors and the food and the water, the pesticides, food packaging, shampoo, toothpaste.
I mean, everything.
So he's talking about that.
So is he going to win?
No, but I saw something like 24% of Democrats were in support of his candidacy, which probably is because they're nostalgic for the Kennedys.
Can't blame them.
I got a little nostalgic, honestly.
It's like, you know, another Irish Catholic in the White House.
Let's go.
But it's at least good because it does present the opportunity for the base to shift on those issues, meaning that like you won't be able to be taken fully seriously if you don't address those issues in the future.
Is that likely to happen?
Maybe it remains to be seen, but it's definitely a net positive so far, at least.
One of the things that's interesting to me about the RFK phenomenon is never in U.S. history, I believe, has a U.S. presidential incumbent been unseated in their own primary.
Obviously, we've had incumbents that have lost to the opposition party's candidate, but the fact that RFK is getting so much press as a Democratic candidate, even though the press is negative, the fact that he's getting so much attention is astounding to me.
Like, I can't even remember the name of the guy who ran as a Republican against Trump in the primary the last time when he was running as an incumbent.
So the fact that the left is pretending that there's so much support for Biden is obviously incompatible with what we actually see happening in terms of Democrats running against him as the presidential incumbent.
Yeah, I've been calling out DeSantis for two years now.
And when I first did it, I was nervous and, you know, people gave me crap for it, but it's been totally vindicated.
I mean, the guy is, whether or not he likes it, the force that the pre-Trump establishment GOP is using to try to undo Trump's revolution.
It really was like a revolution in terms of how he shifted the entire political climate in this country.
And yeah, and I think, frankly, he's like 40-something.
If he wanted to be the guy, all he would have to do is wait four more years.
Say, I endorse Trump.
Trump would be like, wow, tremendous guy.
And then Trump would campaign for him after he's done.
The fact that he wants it right now shows either a terrible like lack of judgment because that's like political suicide, obviously, or he's like actually a bad person.
He's like just grifting and trying to undo what Trump has done.
I mean, this is the guy who in 2018, when he was running for governor, had a whole advertisement that's message was, look how much I love Trump.
I'm like reading my kids' books about the border wall.
And it's like, okay, is this guy really like going to carry the torch?
Or he's, is he just a guy that kind of goes where he sends the tide going?
Because when he was in Congress, his voting record suggests he's pretty much an average Republican.
Then he needs to win a race in Florida.
He gets on the Trump train.
When Trump's in the White House, Trump endorses him.
Then he beats Andrew Gillum.
And it's like, I don't know.
So at this point, yeah, I'm pretty much anti-DeSantis.
Well, I mean, these are the same people who called George Bush Hitler.
And I mean, it doesn't matter who the guy is.
There's always going to be, you know, this is Hitler.
And the like sort of media, like the baggage, for example, I argue in my Trump video, properly understood, just means whoever the establishment perceives to be the biggest threat.
Like the reason your aunt hates Trump isn't because he's actually like a terrible person.
It's because all she hears on the view and MSNBC is Trump did this, Trump did that.
And then they, you know, they dig it up and okay, like he maybe got a little creative with his taxes as like a billionaire real estate developer.
Oh, who cares?
Maybe he paid hush money to a porn star.
Who cares?
Like, I'm not saying I love Trump because he's just been so faithful to his wife.
I love Trump because he's going to like take out the illegal immigrants.
You know, he's going to bring back the jobs.
He's going to make America great again.
So you can't get around the, you know, the pain, the hurt.
What is it?
The hurt box, I think they call it.
Anybody who's legitimately transgressing against the way our system works is going to have baggage because the media is going to convince everybody that.
So if they aren't doing that because or to Ron DeSantis, it's because they don't actually perceive him to be a threat.
Now, you are going to have like liberals working in, you know, Vice or Vox or BuzzFeed who are like genuinely off-put by DeSantis because they think he's like a fascist or whatever.
But in terms of like top-level media executives saying, cover this person negatively, you're never going to see something like that with DeSantis because he's not actually a threat.
I mean, yeah, he's good on the culture war stuff.
Yeah, you know, he passes good bills in a state that is red with significant red majorities in both chambers of Congress.
It's like, okay, you know, cool, very impressive.
Like you're like the best governor out of a whole country of terrible right-wing governors and people are like making you out to be like the next Trump.
Like Trump literally ended several American political dynasties just by being funny.
I mean, he changed the party attitude on immigration.
Yeah, like insanely talented political figure.
The fact that people are even comparing DeSantis to him is illiterate.
It's like actually not to be, you know, pearl clutching, but I'm actually offended by the comparison just because of how exceptionally talented Trump is.
And that's one thing that really did astound me about the left throughout Trump's presidency.
It was the arrogance in terms of how they incessantly underestimated him.
So, Barack Obama, just to make a counterexample, not somebody that I would vote for, not somebody that I like or I'm impressed with as a leader or a politician, but someone I would never underestimate as an incredibly talented political figure, right?
And the whole time, like the left couldn't, the left hated Trump so much that they couldn't even admit that he was kicking their ass in a lot of ways.
And I think that's that's why they got walked all over in 2016 when everybody thought Hillary was so certain to win.
And the whole time he's like, I got away.
My guys tell me there's a way.
And it made it happen, right?
I don't know.
I just, I don't see a whole lot of humility from the left.
And maybe the right suffers from this too, but I don't know.
I just, I think that's a major problem.
But I want to ask you next about what you think about the media because you mentioned the media a lot.
And it's something that I've done countless times throughout my content creation in the space.
But when are we going to just admit that the corporate media doesn't fucking matter anymore?
Like I'm looking at the numbers of their ratings and their viewership.
And my podcast certainly doesn't get as much views as Fox News or CNN, maybe as much as MSNBC, but like there are so many podcasters, not just Joe Rogan, who get way more views, way more engagement than any of these mainstream outlets, whether it's the New York Times, whether it's the Wall Street Journal, whether it's CNN.
Like they don't matter anymore, but like they have this like legacy brand, you know, it's like Coca-Cola, where they like people think, oh, it's reported in this, therefore it's, it's, it's like this appeal to authority fallacy.
Therefore, it's legitimate, or this is what the, the, the establishment is trying to say, but like, shouldn't we just stop even caring what they say?
Because no one fucking watches them or listens to them or reads them.
It's like you said with the legacy brand, they've also got this nest egg that they can use to, for example, like lobby big tech companies to prioritize their coverage over independent creators.
So people stopped watching legacy media because it sucks.
It's boring.
I want to see what independent people are saying.
YouTube exists.
Now you've got all these people who are big on YouTube talking about politics, talking about news.
And then, you know, these companies see that that's where things are going.
And so they, you know, use whatever nest egg they have to now, okay.
Well, now we're going to be the approved sources and you can still access these independent sources, but they're not going to be shown to you.
You're going to have to seek them out at your own accord.
So I would like to see that happen, but I don't know.
I'm a little pessimistic on that because, and the problem is too, especially with us, a very significant, if not the most significant portion of our base are like baby boomers.
Well, and I noticed that I get frustrated when people are like, I'm being shadow banned because nine times out of 10, when people say they're being shadow banned, it's just because their content sucks.
However, I will say that I use YouTube and every major media platform.
And I frequently have videos that get 200,000 views on TikTok.
I post the same exact short on YouTube.
It gets 200 views.
And I don't know if it's because I've had too many strikes on my account throughout the past, but they all have different algorithms that are proprietary that prioritize different things.
They're different platforms with different audiences.
But you start to wonder when, okay, why is this video going viral on TikTok and Instagram?
But no one's seeing it on YouTube.
I posted it at the same time with the same captures with the same hashtags.
Why is that?
And I am concerned about some of the shadow banning that I see on these mainstream platforms, to your point.
And they definitely prioritize CNN.
I mean, if you type in Alex Jones on YouTube to like look for a funny reel or clip or compilation, 10 years ago, you'd see all everything you wanted.
It was hilarious.
Now, like, all you see is coverage about, you know, the litigation that he's going through for like pages and pages.
You have to go to Rumble to even find anything.
You know, and I cut Alex Jones' clips a lot.
So I have a hard time finding clips that aren't just some talking head at CNN bitching.
I mean, I hate that they're rigging the, if they acknowledged it and they were like, you know, we have to rig the game.
And I guess they do kind of, but I don't know.
I just hate how they claim to be so committed to democracy and, you know, majority rule, but then they censor all of our ideas.
That's why all of the most like zero regulation areas on the internet are always like the most right wing because our ideas win.
I mean, every time right-wing ideas have gone up against left-wing ideas throughout history, right-wing ideas always win, which is why they have to like just kill us because they never can actually win the debate because it's just everything they believe is a lie that's fueled by resentment because they're like losers who can't compete in a hierarchy.
So they instead of making themselves more competent, just reject the whole idea of a hierarchy.
Yeah, I guess like literally, you know, where we get the left from is after the French Revolution, where, you know, the people who sat on the right were the monarchists and the people who sat on the left were the revolutionaries.
So, but yeah, it could go back to Rome.
I mean, you would definitely see these trends throughout all of human civilization.
But in terms of where the current strain began, maybe I would say the French Revolution.
The senators ran through the streets and said something to the effect of, you know, people, yeah, people of Rome, we are once again free.
So the people knew something happened.
They locked their doors because they were scared that there was something going on.
And the senators, Brutus and his companions, marched through the city announcing, people of Rome, we are once again free.
They were met with silence as the citizens of Rome had locked themselves inside their houses as soon as the rumors of what had taken place began to spread, right?
So the senators thought the people were going to be all stoked about it and they were like, What the fuck?
And then if you look at the aftermath of what happened, a crowd amassed, expressed their anger at the assassins by burning the Senate house.
Two days after the assassination, Mark Antony summoned the Senate and managed to work out a compromise in which assassins would not be punished for their acts, but all Caesar's appointments would remain valid, right?
This was supposed to be the compromise.
And when they did, when they had his funeral, and this is well documented, the people were so pissed off that they threw their furniture and belongings onto the funeral pyre because he was cremated and it almost burned down the forum.
Like this was like a situation where Caesar was like their Trump.
He was like this populist guy who came in and just eradicated the corruption that existed.
Obviously, he was a dictator, which is a problem in and of itself, but it takes a dictator to sort of eradicate this just bureaucratic corruption that the Senate had amassed over centuries.
And they loved him.
He hadn't done anything wrong yet other than piss off the political class.
And they were so disappointed when he was assassinated.
Like we think of it as, oh, you know, this is the first assassination of a tyrant by the representatives of the people.
It's like, if you read the history, everybody was pissed off at the senators for doing it.
And that's the thing, like, these like political nerds who write the history books, they're always going, oh, Caesar, he was a dictator and these noble senators.
And it's like these people, I literally, I wish I could find a less crude way to describe it, but it's masturbation.
I mean, when these people get together and they like talk like this, they're literally just like participating in this circle jerk of just like, oh, you know, democracy and politics and good statesmanship.
Like you should be, you should like actually be killed, honestly.
Like you should be killed for saying stuff like that.
Like it is so stupid.
It violates my pursuit of happiness when people say things like that.
When people say things like that, it is so stupid that it actually makes me a danger to myself, which in a way means that if I kill them for saying that, I'm standing my ground.
