| So there are a lot of reasons that we shouldn't be rushing into a war, whether that be in Ukraine, whether that be in Middle Eastern territory, whether that be in providing boots on the ground for Israel. | |
| We should, as I said earlier, have a rigorous academic discussion about that. | |
| And it's namely, for me, one of the reasons is because, well, we keep losing them. | |
| Losing them as in, you know, it seems like they're Very long money laundering operations and then we just kind of leave. | |
| And the places are exactly the same way that they were when we first put boots on the ground. | |
| Afghanistan, Iraq, what's been going on? | |
| If you're a part of my generation, millennials, you understand that there's a lot of emotional engineering and then you're told that we must get involved for some moral crusade purpose. | |
| And then you actually realize that nothing has changed. | |
| And we just would like to stop doing that, right? | |
| Well, another huge reason that I'm opposed to it is because we're not producing a generation of people that can fight in wars. | |
| And whether we are talking about The birth of social media, whether we're talking about the weakening of men in our society, I'm talking about in Western society, or if we're talking about the weakening of women in Western society, now would not be a really good time for us to rah, rah, rah, go America. | |
| We have a lot of issues here happening on American soil, but probably the biggest issue is the corrosion of our culture. | |
| And thankfully, we have an individual on TikTok. | |
| He goes by atbacteriababy. | |
| That's his handle, at least. | |
| His name is Ryan, who took to the internet as a Gen Zer to talk about why he's not getting drafted. | |
| Take a listen. Why is everybody saying Gen Z is going to get drafted? | |
| Like, no, we're not. | |
| Like, how are they going to actually force us to get up and go to war? | |
| I understand it was like that in, like, the 1940s. | |
| What else is there to do in 1940 besides shoot people? | |
| We have things to do nowadays. | |
| We have twerk, be bisexual, eat a hot chip. | |
| Why? And we're also like really mentally ill. | |
| What makes you think I'm qualified to have a gun? | |
| So this video went viral. | |
| Somebody lifted it and put it on Twitter and obviously people are responding to it and they're outraged. | |
| I want to be clear, I'm not outraged when I see this video. | |
| He is quite embarrassed that this has gone viral and he's kind of saying, well, it was meant to be satire and now he's trying to give more severe reasons for why people shouldn't go to war. | |
| But to be clear, this is his entire brand on TikTok. | |
| He's a spoiled Gen Zer, a college student. | |
| He attends Penn State. | |
| And he kind of talks about the way he sees the world through his eyes. | |
| I think, actually, it's commendable. | |
| I think it's honest. I appreciated seeing this video because it is an example of exactly what I am talking about, the weakening of men, the stage that we are in, the crisis that we are facing in America, because this is your average 18 to 21-year-old, right? We've fallen very far and very fast in the times of World War II. And yet, our politicians act like we haven't, as if we could have a draft and have some real men put boots on the ground. | |
| No, he's telling you the truth. I'm on Wellbutrin. | |
| He talks in other videos about the fact that he's on a prescription of Wellbutrin to treat his anxiety and depression. | |
| Not something to be mocked. | |
| I talk about this on the show all the time. | |
| Big Pharma, what it has done. | |
| Aside from the fact that I believe that it has weakened our men testosterone. | |
| Testosteronally, I actually believe that the decrease that we have seen in testosterone over the past couple of decades is going to be largely attributed to the explosion of vaccines, the explosion of pharmaceuticals being given to young children like him who believes that he is struggling with anxiety and struggling with depression, and so he has to take a pill every single day. | |
| Aside from that, we're dealing with a crisis. | |
| This is just all across the board. | |
| Family, women, men. | |
| And we are ignoring this and having politicians that are beating the drum as if we are the same America that put an end to World War II. We're not. | |
| So let's dial down the rhetoric, okay? | |
| Let's stop pretending that we are. | |
| Let's stop looking to get involved in every overseas conflict as if everyone in the world is so fearful of big bad America. | |
| They can see this. | |
| They have access to TikTok. | |
| In fact, TikTok is a Chinese app, right? | |
| Their algorithms are feeding men like him, young men like him, to show you this is what | |
| everyone should aspire to be. | |
| It's the reason why a person like Dylan Mulvaney instantly decides to become a woman and instantly | |
| gets a following on TikTok. | |
| China's not stupid. | |
| They understand how they can take over America without firing a single bullet. | |
| It's psychology. | |
| People aspiring for attention. | |
| And so while people are making fun of him, while people are saying that they actually hope he gets drafted, I don't. | |
| I think you look at it as an example. | |
| I appreciate him providing an example to the world of what is actually happening in America and why we say maybe it's time that we fix some issues at home because he's one of them. | |
| If you like this video, you are definitely going to like the full episode even better. |
