	Good evening, folks.
	Let's try and get myself sorted out.
	Meant to be doing some planning for the live stream.
	Some note jutting.
	But instead of screwing around with D-Live the entire time, I'm still figuring this platform out.
	I know I know I used it in the past.
	In theory I should know all about it, right?
	You know, here's just a random observation.
	Maybe one of the things that's happening right now with the world is that it's increasingly important not to know how something works, but to have the skills to figure out how something works.
	And this is pretty darn irritating when you're a content creator like myself because it's like especially with the way things are going.
	The sensor.
	Actually, we're going to be talking about that.
	The way things are going, you have to change platforms every two years.
	You know what?
	I've decided I'm going to be jumping in to Gab with both feet.
	I mean, I've had an account there for a long time.
	There we go.
	There I am.
	Oh, we've got four viewers already.
	Frickin awesome.
	Yeah, the past two streams are transitioning at like nobody.
	So that's that's part of the frustration, right?
	Like you start doing streaming on a new thing, and nobody knows where to find you at first.
	Then you gotta learn a whole new system.
	Yada yada.
	Tell you guys, it's mop theory up and down.
	Mob theory up and down.
	But before we kind of jump into my very disorganized thoughts, it's part of the reason I'm streaming tonight.
	Mentioned my buddy Big L. He's got a daughter now.
	I've seen pictures.
	She is hyper-intelligent looking.
	Much better quality baby than any of the others in the maternity board from what I hear.
	Told him he should have gone up and down writing reviews of the other children, comparing them to his own, and telling them where they fall short.
	I also told him that he should have said to the doctor, by the way, I'm missing a rich wristwatch.
	Keep an eye open for it, if you will.
	At least that's what I would have done.
	And so, like, I don't got a buddy for a month.
	Him and the little lady, they're nesting.
	They're battening everything down.
	Even the cat's not allowed for two weeks.
	So I don't got a buddy.
	I'm kind of lonely.
	Went to the bar, and I think I offended the fellow next to me at the bar when I compared the weatherman on television.
	I compared his dress sense to a Walmart mannequin in a derisive manner, and I think that hurt his feelings, so he didn't want to be my friend.
	And another amusing news: Big L and the little lady just got into Doctor House.
	Which they say heartily reminds them of me, not just because of the cane.
	And so I was re-watching some of it.
	I'm like, man, there is some similarity here.
	Anytime House feels vulnerable, he engages in distractive behavior and gets extremely annoyed with you if you can't figure out that his distracted behavior means that I'm thinking about it, not going to give you an answer just yet, and I hope you're smart enough to understand that.
	Do we really need to discuss all of this because you're stupid?
	Like, yeah, there is quite a bit of overlap between House and I. Aside from he has a more successful love life and more money, but I have a cooler cane.
	There we go, I've got nine viewers now.
	Not too bad.
	By the way, I've been trying to figure out why this doesn't archive videos.
	And I think I need 200 subscribers before it starts archiving videos.
	So, you know, like, comment, and subscribe.
	Go subscribe if you haven't already.
	That way, then it'll keep the videos around for a few days.
	And for those of you that missed the first stream, look at this video quality.
	This video quality is freaking fantastic, isn't it?
	It's, nothing's changed aside from the fact that I'm no longer on Twitch.
	And Twitch, they just, it's funny.
	This is using blockchain technology, which you would think.
	You would think the traditional.
	Like, I don't know what YouTube and Twitch use, HTML5.
	I don't know.
	You would think that that technology would be more mature, more reliable, more effective.
	Like, it really ought to be.
	This blockchain stuff is pretty new.
	Like, newish.
	Newish compared to YouTube.
	And yet the video on this is so much more fantastic.
	So.
	No reason not to be on D-Live.
	I should have stayed on D-Live in the first place.
	It's that I think at the time, a lot of people were transitioning from YouTube over to Twitch.
	So that's why I moved to Twitch.
	Or moved back to Twitch or something like that.
	You need so many backup channels these days.
	Just keep doing what you're doing.
	Now.
	11 viewers.
	That's awesome.
	Can you guys see a title to this live stream?
	Because I've got this stupid freaking title from ages ago, and I don't seem to be able to alter the title.
	I might need to look into that.
	What about what happens if I hit the replay button?
	Still just an empty screen.
	Alrighty.
	Oh, and I added a.
	Ooh, if you go to the about, I added a link to my website.
	very fancy guys.
	So what's going to inform this live stream?
	I've been reading a bunch of Greg Stevens' articles from America.org.
	That's America with a K. Really fantastic.
	He's such a prolific writer, too.
	Maybe too prolific.
	I find he's best if you do a deep dive with him every once in a while.
	And that's what I was doing earlier today.
	I was well started with his predictions of how we are hitting another depression.
	I mean, like, yeah, okay.
	You know, what else is new?
	He says it's another tech bubble depression, and I'm inclined to agree with him.
	Problem with all of this, this tech nonsense is that it's not a profitable medium.
	It's not like innately it's not profitable.
	Yeah, I've been saying for like anybody that's been paying attention has known for years that advertising on the internet doesn't work.
	By advertising, I mean Google ads, YouTube ads, turn off that pesky ad block.
	Internet advertising does not work.
	Companies are shelling out so much money for this stuff, and it does not drive sales.
	You can completely shut down your internet marketing, and you will still have like it, like it probably won't affect your bottom line at all.
	And yeah, they love to play shell games with all of this.
	They love to move the numbers around, but try and say that they have an audience for you.
	You know, guys, I'll tell you, I've worked in a bit of small business advertising in my time, and so much of it is predatory.
	So much of it really doesn't work.
	I don't know, it's like you're getting the McDonald's cheeseburger of advertising and then expecting yourself to have a nutritious breakfast, you know?
	Not quite the same thing.
	Like, I don't want to completely say it's garbage, because it's not.
	Like, you do need a website if you have a small business.
	There are things you can do.
	Then again, I'm not exactly a businessman, am I?
	So.
	Anyway, that's not the point.
	We're not talking about, we're not talking about running a business and using online marketing.
	That's- That's not the point of the stream.
	I want to talk about how the whole damn thing is crashing, how it relates to culture and politics, and what the hell is going on with this big stupid world.
	You know, part of the reason I like Bret Stephens is he's a fellow cyberpunk cowboy, just like yours truly.
	And guys, that's what we really miss, isn't it?
	The wild west of the internet.
	Back when things were interesting, back when it was a place for hackers, I don't mean, you know, infiltrators.
	I mean people that hack things together, that build systems, that make things go.
	iconoclasts the the the Mavericks yeah but think why the why I've been so annoyed with the right wing lately Lately, the past couple years.
	And yeah, partly that's personal issues, right?
	Some garbage human beings that I saw the better half of their nature.
	Tell you folks, I constantly have to remind myself of how shitty people are.
	I'm liable to forget the reason I've been so frustrated and we're going to get back to the cut We're going to be all over the map here, guys.
	We're going to be all over the map.
	Feel free to toss some comments.
	The reason I've been so frustrated with the right wing is that reversed stupidity is not intelligence.
	It takes absolutely zero skill to point out what's going wrong with the left.
	Like, they're completely insane.
	It's like the fact that something hasn't been done is their only reason for going and doing it.
	Like, there's probably a good reason no one's ever done that before.
	It takes absolutely no skill to see that the left is completely freaking insane.
	But then, what happens is that the right just embraces the equal opposite insanity.
	I was talking to a young lad earlier today.
	And, you know, like he sent me a spicing meme with a particular socialist of the nationalist variety and some quote that was attributed to him.
	Allegedly.
	I don't even know if it was actually from him.
	Who knows?
	Right?
	And it just struck me, this whole World War II narrative.
	That they like the mainstream.
	The victors write the history.
	And so the history of World War II was written as this epic conflict between good and evil to destroy the one ring, and we fought it with lightsabers and Led Zeppelins.
	It was just the coolest war ever, which is why every single video game was set in that era until we were just bloody sick of it.
	It makes a very cool narrative.
	Back in college, you know how they have those giant setups in the student lounge area where they just have dumb garbage for sale to sell to students that have student loans and credit cards?
	Oh, I picked up this fantastic DVD series, the secret history of the national socialists and the occult influence.
	And it was this whole creepy, you know, pseudoscience documentary about all the creepy stuff and the spear of destiny.
	Just bullshit, right?
	It was.
	You know, Coast to Coast is closer to reality than this documentary was.
	But it was this fantastic, fun documentary.
	Me and my buddies got drunk on whiskey and cheered on the Empire as they fought the Jedis and good times, right?
	All good fun.
	All nonsense, of course.
	The reality of World War II is that it was just the second part of World War I.
	And your understanding of World War I is so much closer to reality than your understanding of World War II.
	World War I was a completely pointless and stupid war that accomplished absolutely nothing.
	It just murdered a lot of young men.
	And World War II was absolutely no different.
	Just a lot of young men dying for no good reason.
	And on top of that, we destroyed some beautiful infrastructure.
	Yeah, just reading about this Roman tunnel.
	The Romans, crazy SOBs that they were, built a tunnel like a hundred, like it was like a kilometer long under a mountain 2,000 years ago.
	And that tunnel was standing up until World War II.
	At which point it got damaged.
	Now it is still there.
	I think they've repaired it, but there's now environmentally protected bats in it or something.
	So it's still there, but, you know, just more beautiful architecture.
	2,000 years that thing lasted.
	Didn't last World War II.
	Or at least it got injured in World War II.
	World War II was just as pointless as World War I. Like, Vietnam actually had better justification for it than World War I or II.
	And the world would still look pretty much the same today if the other side had won World War II.
	Right?
	Like, it.
	It's significant that so many men died and the cities were blown up, etc.
	That's pretty significant.
	But the victor of the war, like, if you look at the history of the past 50 years, have largely been 70 years, I should say.
	God, I'm getting old, aren't I?
	The past 70 years, the history has largely been the fact that the United States was not, did not have their infrastructure destroyed in World War II, and was just like the everything about the United States.
	The legal system, the waterways in the United States, the fact they're oil and food independent, right?
	Or at least they can be.
	They have enough grassland, they've got enough oil patches, they've got enough waterways.
	The reason that the United States became World Hegemon after World War II had nothing to do with them winning the war, right?
	Like, let's say Germany won the war and the United States had to pay reparations to Germany.
	They would have paid those reparations and then moved on to become World Hegemon.
	And so it might be like technically Germany leads the United Nations, but it would still be American industry behind all of it.
	And we probably still would have gone to the petrodollar because of American industry.
	I mean, yeah, lots of things would be different, but nothing major, okay?
	All go look out the window.
	All that weird stuff out there, you'd still have all of that.
	So, calm your tits.
	World War II wasn't that important.
	But the reason, so many people, they want to jump on this World War II bandwagon, and so the left is still trying to fight World War II, but in cosplay this time.
	Which would be fine if they admitted it was cosplay.
	Like, you just want to put on sexy Hugo Boss uniforms and strut up and down and, like, it's like those weirdos in America that reenact the Civil War all the time.
	I mean, what the hell is going on with that?
	You know, we don't do that in any other country.
	I mean, like, okay, we've got the Society for Creative Anachronisms, right?
	And they put on medieval.
	I should get involved with those guys, man.
	I should really get involved in that.
	I mean, they put on medieval armor and they use unsharpened swords and they don't beat the crap out of each other in made-up battles.
	But they do that for fun, right?
	They're not recreating anything.
	They're just being douchebags.
	Which is why they're fun to hang out with.
	I mean, why do you think anybody puts up with me?
	At least I know what I am.
	But these Civil War reenactments are so freaking weird.
	We seriously don't do that in any other country.
	I don't know what's up with you Americans.
	Good lord, talk about wars that aren't about what everyone thinks they were about.
	The Civil War had absolutely nothing to do with what most people think it was all about.
	let's not get into that topic.
	So the left loves to LARP like it's still World War II.
	And then the right decides they're going to do, they're just going to flip everything upside down.
	So the bad guys are the good guys.
	It's like, no, there were no good guys.
	Winston Churchill was an asshole.
	I mean, like, it was a pretty decent.
	I mean, compared to your average piece of garbage sliming their way up and down the street.
	Yeah, Winston Churchill's a pretty good guy compared to that.
	Like, I don't know, I find some inspiration in some of the stuff he's written.
	End of the day, he's just a dude.
	And he's a politician to boot, so he's not that great of a guy.
	But it's not like his enemies were great people.
	They're just people, man.
	They are slightly better than those people that slither off the bus and look at my property as they go by.
	slightly better than that but not that much better.
	And so the right acts like taking the equal opposite stance of the left is some sort of solution.
	And it's like, oh my goodness.
	The problem, the problem with right-wing politics, it got popular.
	I mean, it's the same problem as the internet.
	And, okay, this is what Brett Stevens was talking about.
	Brief history of the world since, I don't know, 1980s.
	So what happened to the world is that the United States, as the, they established themselves as the industrial output of the world.
	Completely outstripped the Soviet Union.
	Completely ground them into the dust.
	Now this is, you know, looking back with 2020 hindsight, but the Cold War, Soviet Union had no chance whatsoever.
	Not as long as it stayed a Cold War.
	In a hot war, oh, we would have destroyed each other.
	The Soviets had plenty of nukes as well.
	Nukes aren't that hard to figure out.
	Dude, it is hard to figure out a mass-produced automobile.
	And they could not figure that out.
	Not well, anyway.
	And so just economically, industrially, the Soviets were screwed.
	Bad economic system.
	Bad core assumptions about humanity.
	Soviets never stood a chance so long as the war remained cold.
	And so eventually Cold War ends.
	And U.S.'s world hegemon.
	At this point, the United States makes a really boneheaded decision.
	Britt Stevens made a really interesting observation.
	He's talking about supply side versus demand side economics.
	Supply side is basically Austrian economics, saying that the wealth of a nation is based upon what they create, their industrial output.
	And the demand side is, if we just print more dollars, people will buy more stuff and the economy will be nice.
	Which is basically Keynesianism.
	Brent made an interesting observation.
	The core of supply side of Austrian is that things should be priced at a wise and fair assessment of their value.
	While the demand side, the Keynesian side is all about things should be priced at whatever you can price them.
	It's all speculation and tulip bubbles.
	And see, this jumped out to me when he said that, because phrasing it in that manner sounds a lot closer to what Marx was saying, doesn't it?
	I mean, that's probably why Marx is so seductive.
	I mean, the guy's an idiot.
	But he makes a few statements, suggestions.
	The idea that you should get paid based upon what you produce, well, that kind of strikes us as sensible.
	That you shouldn't be exploitated by.
	Like, that sounds really simple.
	And the way that Brett Stevens was describing Austrian economics, just that little turn of phrase, that supply side is about creating useful goods that are priced fairly.
	Strikes that same core attitude of Marxism, which seems to be one of these intrinsic moral laws.
	Like if you structure your company, your society in a way to steal from other people, there's a big karmic debt that you wind up paying down the road.
	Anyway.
	What, no comments yet, you guys?
	Anyway, so the liberals, the left in general, they just like to run rampant, making blind promises and doing whatever the crowd wants them to do with no thought for the future or how this is all going to turn out.
	So they love supply side.
	Sorry, they love demand side economics.
	And so the first thing that happened after the Cold War finished is that Clinton went hardcore into demand side economics.
	Leading to the housing bubble.
	But the big thing is, now that the United States was world hegemon, wait, who's that?
	You guys are making comments on the live stream.
	Okay, let me there we go Apparently, I need to renew it, reload it.
	Right?
	Like, it's showing the top and not the bottom.
	Okay, cool.
	Basically, what we saw with the fall of the Soviet Union was the full implementation of the petro dollar.
	It wasn't when the petro dollar started, but with no Evil empire of the east to fight, suddenly this became the universal standard.
	Now, what the petrodo dollar boils down to is that every nation on the planet needs to buy and sell petroleum using US dollars.
	This creates a huge demand for US dollars.
	And how do you get US dollars?
	You manufacture goods and exchange them for US dollars.
	So it suddenly became really cheap to manufacture stuff over in China and really expensive to manufacture it in America.
	The petrodollar wound up exporting manufacturing all over the world while allowing the middle class to live a allowing Americans to live a higher lifestyle than they otherwise would have.
	And, you know, like Canada, Great Britain, you know, like we're dragged along with it.
	But the bad effect is that this exported all the manufacturing over to China.
	And so now we have become nations full of baristas and lawyers and human resource professionals.
	And the rest of the world is starting to wonder, why do we need those American dollars?
	So now let's go up to the 2000s.
	From 2000 to 2010, what you saw was all these wars happening all over the world to maintain the petrodollar.
	Terrorism was the excuse, sure.
	Iraq never committed any terrorism against America.
	But the reason they were doing this is because a lot of these countries, especially the oil-rich ones, were threatening to go away from the petrodollar.
	They were threatening to start selling their oil for gold bullion or for the Chinese yuan or whatever it might be.
	And that would be like a domino falling.
	In the same way that cryptocurrencies are seriously threatening national currencies, this would have destroyed the petrodollar.
	And so most of these wars that we've been watching for the past 20 years, these wars are all about forcing people to stick to the status quo and not threaten the current narrative.
	Now, obviously, if you're China, the petrodollar allowed China to go from, like, what had become a third world nation, thanks to the cultural revolution, into a first world power.
	into a powerhouse, right?
	There's still lots of awful areas in China, but China is the first world powerhouse.
	And like, so like Japan is, but Japan's tiny.
	China is huge.
	And we export all the manufacturing over there.
	So now, what would be really great for China is if they kept all the factories and we eroded the petrodollar.
	So you get Donald Trump, who is primarily fighting a trade war with China.
	Right?
	Like his big thing was just At the simplest level, Donald Trump was fighting the petrodollar, but fighting it in a way that America comes out with really strong industry.
	China, meanwhile, wants to undermine that economic nationalism of Donald Trump because they've got a really good set of cards right now.
	They've got a really good hand of cards.
	They don't want us pulling any more from the deck.
	And so what we've been seeing, especially with the past election cycle, is China manipulating the social media companies, putting Chinese nationalists on the social media companies to control the dialogue in North America.
	To get a regime that's friendly to China elected.
	So they can keep doing their slow hegemonic plan to become the world center of trade.
	That's kind of the brief summation of recent history.
	Let's check out all these comments I missed.
	Elijah says he did not get a notification from DLive about this.
	Awake, but at what cost?
	It's owned by ChiComs.
	Okay, so you do see the title.
	Okay, I gotta figure out where the title comes from.
	I can't change it on this thing.
	Bill Nahr said that we shouldn't do a complete redo of the 1920s because of the Great Depression, but I think we're in a way worse place than the 1920s.
	Marx Day says we never got out of the Great Recession, which I agree with.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Turner and Hooch.
	Hey, I haven't seen you in a while, man.
	We're also in a completely different time.
	Like, there's.
	History echoes, but it doesn't repeat.
	You know, it rhymes, but it doesn't repeat.
	Who else Ella says the right doesn't cannibalize its own with the frequency or enthusiasm of the left.
	Maybe not, but the right destroys its most effective members.
	So with that Chinese takeover of social media, what they've been doing, what they do, is they police the most effective voices.
	the most intelligent.
	So there's two people that are allowed to be conservatives on social media.
	The neo-Nazi idiots and the completely useless conservatives.
	Nobody who's intelligent, creative, what have you.
	Those people are not allowed on social media, right?
	So you've got the two extremes, the completely useless Jeb Bush conservatives and the guys wearing plastic German army helmets.
	Neither of them are particularly useful or interesting or effective.
	So that's the that's the geopolitics behind all of this.
	You know, like I've said before, we need a new world word.
	Geopolitics, the wrong word.
	Because we're in cyberspace now.
	Cyber politics.
	That's the cyber politics of what's going on.
	That's why all the censorship.
	The left is full of useful idiots.
	Very easy to propagandize to.
	Very easy, like they, good lord, they all based their politics off of Harry Frickin' Potter for crying out loud.
	Not saying you aren't allowed to like it.
	I'm just saying if you're a grown-ass adult, you shouldn't be basing your politics off of Harry Potter.
	It was funny.
	It was funny being alive in the 2000s as somebody with a functioning brain.
	Because we had the conservatives in power at that point.
	And the conservatives were completely out to line.
	They were obviously lying about Iraq.
	Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with...
	Now, okay, they never actually claimed that Iraq was connected to 9-11.
	That was never actually claimed.
	And yet, if you went up to your typical conservative voter, even your very intelligent conservative voters, they thought Iraq had something to do with 9-11.
	Like, no, no, they really, really hate Saudi Arabia.
	The ones behind it.
	And Afghanistan, where the Saudis trained to do 9-11.
	Iraqis really hate those guys.
	One side's Sunny, the other Shiite.
	I can never remember which is which.
	But they both claim different descents from Muhammad.
	They both claim to be the one true faith.
	I mean, they really hate each other.
	They're not going to work together even for something like this.
	Maybe if they were attacking Israel, they'd work together.
	But America, nobody likes America, okay?
	Nobody likes America.
	But they don't hate America that much.
	But your average conservative believed this.
	And yet, when you looked at the left, man, there's one thing that really stood out to me about the left.
	This really sums up the 2000s, if you were too young to be alive at the time.
	I was walking down the street in Hamilton from my apartment, and I was just going to get a coffee or something like that, right?
	Just minding my own business.
	When there's this huge parade of lefties marching down the street, protesting the Iraq war, which Canada was not involved in.
	In fact, most of the Western world refused to get involved in Iraq because, by international law, it was an illegal war.
	Oh god, I've been watching too much house.
	The House is being investigated because, like, he did his typical stupid house thing.
	And the guy, but, you know, at the trial or whatever, the patient's wife comes in and says, your completely insane plan saved him.
	And so the guy that was doing the trial said, okay, I find you innocent.
	And House looks at him.
	He looks at the big thick file on his desk and just says, you coward.
	You were going to find me guilty until my plan worked.
	And it's not politically correct now for you to accuse me of being wrong.
	You disgusting coward.
	Like, I'm a piece of shit, but I own that I'm a piece of shit.
	You don't even hold to your own standards.
	And so the Americans engaged in an illegal act of war.
	But rather than completely throw out the UN, completely abandoning the UN, abandoning NATO, all of it, yeah, we just quietly ignored it.
	We're like, um, we'll pretend it didn't happen.
	Even though this is a highly, highly illegal war.
	And I think, wait, no, Tony Blair went along with it.
	Pretty sure the Canadians spoke out against it.
	Anyway, France spoke out against it, which is why they started calling French fries freedom fries in Washington, D.C. Anyway.
	Canada had nothing to do with it.
	And walking up them, walking down the street was this whole horde of liberals going one, two, three, four, we don't want your racist war.
	Wait, what?
	When did racism enter into it?
	I mean, this is a lot of skeezy politics, right?
	And yeah, I'll be the first one to make the cheap shot about how, oh, it's a good thing Biden's elected.
	Now we can go back to killing brown people in the Middle East.
	I'll be the first one to make that cheap shot, but I'm not going to call it racist.
	That's stupid.
	The reasons to be opposed to the Iraq War are not because of frickin' racism.
	So, god, the 2000s, it was just so obvious that both sides were complete assholes.
	Then I guess if you're younger, you know, say you're 10 years younger than me, you grew up during the Obama era, where Obama, what a disappointment that man was.
	And so if you were a genuine liberal that wanted, you know, respect for minorities and socialized medicine.
	By the way, talking about interesting right-wing ideas, there was Men of the West, I think it's menofthewest.com, just posted an article about the moral hazard of insurance.
	Insurance is just gambling in reverse, folks.
	That's all it is.
	It's gambling where you hope you lose.
	And there's certainly times and places where insurance is a very wise decision.
	Liability insurance with your car is very, very wise because you can cause millions of dollars of damage with your car totally by accident.
	And insurance is there to cover that million dollars of damage.
	But the standardization of insurance becomes a moral hazard, which is exactly what you see in the United States with the insurance companies pay for everything, doctors can charge whatever they want, nobody knows what the price of anything is.
	Yada yada.
	And it's like, at some point, at some point, I don't know.
	Like, if your car gets broken into, why should you get insurance for that?
	That just, like, that's like paying somebody to fight fires.
	They'll just go around lighting fires all over the place.
	You know?
	Seems like a moral hazard to me.
	That is a joke from the Discworld novels that the citizens of Ankhmore Pork didn't really.
	Oh, that's a nice business you have there.
	It'd be a shame because it's burned down.
	It's a joke from Ankhmorpork.
	It's actually a reality from ancient Rome that one of the richest men was the guy running the fire department because that's a shame your building's burned down.
	You want to pay us to put it out?
	That right there, there's another conservative argument for a left-wing position.
	That when you trust the healthcare field, there's a problem with people that constantly go to the doctor.
	Right?
	There's a problem with that.
	But generally speaking, most sane people don't want to be at hospitals.
	So there's an argument for socialization.
	The same way we socialize the fire department.
	There's an argument for socialization there because it prevents usury, manipulation of the market, distorted incentives.
	But I mean, Obama didn't even do that, did he?
	Obama did the exact opposite.
	Instead of getting rid of the insurance companies, he forced you to pay for an insurance company.
	So that last little bit, there's that little bit of free market where if you didn't like the prices of insurance, you could just say, screw it, I'll take my chances.
	Now you can't even do that.
	You know, there'd be a strong argument.
	Socialize car insurance as well.
	Or to do a public-private partnership.
	I'll tell you one thing we have here in Canada, guys, or what we have in Alberta, is all the DMVs are private.
	They.
	It's for the government.
	Like, you're paying money to the government to get your license renewed, all that jazz.
	But they're privately run.
	And the DMVs in Alberta, the longest I have ever waited, the longest, it was like rush.
	Like, I picked totally the wrong time to go.
	Was I think 20 minutes.
	And usually I go to the DMV.
	It's like.
	They shut.
	Oh, you're ready already.
	You know, like there's no lineup.
	There's no lineup.
	It's amazing.
	Anyway, anyway, that's kind of a tangent, isn't it?
	Told you, we're all over the map tonight.
	Ella says, I've been to a Civil War reenactment, and 10 out of 10 can confirm it is weird.
	Yeah, like I'm not trying to make fun of the Americans, alright?
	I'm just telling you, those civil war things are weird.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	oh, there's something here.
	America was founded upon this concept of puritanical revelation.
	That America was going to be the fulfillment of the new Israel, the shining city on the hill.
	That everything meant more, right?
	Like you study British history, it's just a bunch of thugs fighting other thugs to try and control territory, right?
	It's hard to be super worked up about that, but American history, war of independence.
	Which, um, you know, that really cynical statement from the left?
	America was never great?
	No, they sort of have a point, actually.
	If you if you watch those uh extra credits, I know they're they've turned to such douchebags.
	Like they got the brain parasite got in them.
	They're all political now.
	I mean, they were always liberal, but now they're insultingly liberal.
	It's very difficult to listen to them these days.
	Plus, they're contradicting themselves, left, right, and center, because, you know, well.
	But they had a really good series on the 13 colonies and, you know, George Washington's army and like all of like just the absolute nonsense trying to drag like all the politics involved in this and making the sausage.
	And I think most other countries have kind of come to come to terms with that.
	That, you know, politics is not glamorous, war is not glamorous.
	It's like, it's business as usual, man.
	Has been the same as it always was.
	But America had this like manifest destiny, puritanical ideal, like shining city on a hill.
	And so everything that happens in American history needs to be glamorized into a quasi-religious context.
	And thus, we have the Civil War, which was awful and terrible.
	Like the best part of the Civil War was after it was over, the cowboys all moved west.
	That was the best part of the Civil War, that it was finally over.
	And by the way, the Cowboys, that is something worth glamorizing.
	Same as the Royal Mounted Police.
	That's something worth glamorizing in Canada.
	Because that was pretty heroic.
	In fact, isn't it interesting?
	I think some of the most heroic points in history are the ones where you find the least amount of death.
	What made the Mounties great is that they carried a peacemaker on their hips, but it was their words that they used to make peace.
	And the same thing for Cowboys.
	They actually weren't that violent.
	They were ready to use violence if they needed to, but it wasn't their go-to solution.
	Versus Civil War, War of Independence, World War I, World War I just were just bloodbaths.
	Completely depressing, nihilistic bloodbaths.
	So America needed to turn this stupid Civil War into something bigger than it was.
	Right?
	Like, good lord, the main reason, maybe not the main reason, a major reason for the Civil War, the reason it happened, was because the Haitian slaves rebelled against the French colonial masters, whatever, and it was an absolutely sickening bloodbath.
	So, international politics are part of what pressured the South to resist the North.
	They didn't want the same bloodbath if there was an end of slavery, like you saw in Haiti.
	And hey, how's Haiti doing these days?
	Maybe that was a reasonable fear at the time.
	So, like, really, this wasn't.
	Major aspects of the Civil War had nothing to do with America, but just international politics, world history, forces completely outside of America.
	But you never hear that.
	It's a North versus South, preserve the Union, etc., etc., as if there's no outside influences.
	Absolute garbage.
	So, civil war is so important that we need to reenact it.
	And I think this attitude, because the United States became world hegemon after World War II, the same attitude reflected World War II.
	It's not enough that, like, it was a war.
	Wars happen.
	They're mostly pointless, but they're also kind of inevitable.
	So CV's Packham, Parabellum.
	But this American desire for grandiosity turned World War II into this giant moral narrative.
	How the hell do we even get on that topic?
	And Maddie says, I think men like war the same way that women like having kids.
	It's painful, exhausting, and deadly, but once it ends, they start to long for it.
	Because it's a great accomplishment that changes the world.
	My sister broke her tailbone giving birth.
	I heard too many details from Big L's wife.
	But love to hear that she was going to have a second.
	You know, it was General Lee with the South who said it is good that war is so terrible, otherwise, men would come to love it too much.
	So, to really get interesting here, really just draw from disparate sources.
	Here's a thought.
	And by the way, I forgot to put my light on there.
	Prophylactics done to sex?
	What video games have done to war?
	That's worth considering.
	I mean, like, the limiting factor.
	Yeah, the limiting factor on sex is that women don't want to get pregnant.
	At least not recklessly anywhere with whomever.
	And the limiting factor on war is that us men are pretty lazy.
	And the same way that men are always pressuring women for sex, there's a corollary where let's you and him fight.
	One of the most idiotic things that is said in the modern world is that if women ran the world, there would be no war.
	Good lord, have you met women?
	Do you have any idea what women are like?
	There would be endless war.
	See, women don't fight war, not directly, but they love seeing men fight wars.
	They absolutely get off on it.
	Thank God, most men are too socialized, smart, and lazy to go fight every idiot that they see.
	And thank God women have enough common sense not to sleep with every guy that asked them for it, even when they are kind of in the mood.
	Yeah, having women run countries would be like having men be the gatekeepers for sex.
	That's going to turn out fantastically, won't it?
	To paraphrase Die Hard, You're an asshole, but you're my kind of asshole.
	That's what I try and aim to be.
	The left no longer bases politics on Harry Potter since Rowling came out as normal.
	God, what's that?
	There's this series on Netflix.
	I'll be honest, it's not that funny.
	But I really appreciate it.
	Because the main characters are a young married couple and their five-year-old daughter.
	And it's actually a positive depiction of parenthood.
	Right?
	Like both the parents, and like they're all in it together and they actually love their lives.
	They're not bitter and resentful.
	Like, you know, like The Simpsons?
	There's that latent, like, their life is miserable.
	Even though, like, by modern standards, the Simpsons household is a paradise.
	I wish I had something like that.
	Whereas in this new series, like, they're living with roommates, okay?
	And yet they love their life.
	They love being married.
	They love their kid.
	They're not tempted to cheat.
	They have so much fun with each other.
	And, wait, somehow your Harry Potter thing inspired this.
	Since Rowland came out as normal.
	Right, there's this one line on the show.
	So funny.
	The like the dad was at work talking to his co-workers.
	And he was trying to, like, he's like, oh man, am I getting old?
	One of his co-workers said, dude, you're so old that if you said something racist, like, I wouldn't even mind.
	I just let it go.
	Oh, my God.
	Like, what?
	What Rowland said was so inoffensive and immaterial and just a common opinion of everybody her age.
	Why do you care?
	Like...
	You know, all your Democrat politicians that you love thought the exact same thing.
	The only reason they'd say anything different is they're trying to get your votes right now.
	Absolute insanity.
	No perspective.
	Which, you know, we should get back to social media, but I need some ice and we should finish these recent comments.
	Jeez, I got all that static electricity.
	Hey folks, you want to hear something I don't recommend?
	Getting a thousand volts of electric shock through your knuckle.
	That's unpleasant.
	I think I actually cooked part of my tendon there.
	Just static electricity, but it did the job.
	See, Man says insurance gave the BML, BLM writers, an excuses.
	Yes, oh yeah, yeah, that's actually beautiful.
	All those Black Lives Matter riots were justified because, oh, insurance will pay for it.
	or some such garbage.
	Ella says the something bigger than it was for the U.S. Civil War is often the lost cause narrative which ties into your point.
	Yeah, as opposed to the more cynical, hopefully more mature view that, yeah, it's all bullshit, man.
	I saw a really funny post.
	Part of one of the Facebook hate groups that I'm a part of.
	To access the internet, you should be required to explain TimeCube.
	I've got one better for you.
	To access the internet, you should be able to explain chrology.
	The universal scientifican theory.
	I dare you guys to look that up.
	You want to understand how cargo cults work?
	Look up chrology.
	Not chronology.
	Chrology.
	The universal theory.
	I spent about an hour watching those videos today.
	Wanted to beat up a cab driver afterwards.
	Shit.
	These people vote.
	But yeah, what we've seen with the internet is it's just it's been taken over by normies.
	It's been taken over by normies.
	And it's just mob theory.
	It's always mob theory, man.
	The geeks create something new and interesting, and it is fantastic.
	Has a very high barrier to entry, but it's absolutely fantastic.
	And the geeks eventually make it a little bit more accessible.
	At which point, the mops show up.
	Because the mops, they're just looking for something to do on Friday night, right?
	They're just a dial tone on the inside.
	They've got no internal monologue.
	I'm not even sure they're people, quite frankly.
	But yeah, all the mops show up.
	Which, you know, the geeks, being the geeks, assume that everybody has an internal monologue.
	Like myself, I need to constantly remind myself what venial, stupid piles of hot garbage your average human is.
	And just because somebody says they're into the geek stuff doesn't mean that they're not a mop.
	They probably are.
	The mops always infest.
	Now, the mops are fairly harmless.
	But the problem with mops is they attract the psychopaths who see a bunch of mops and they're like, hey, I can fleece the wool off of this herd.
	And so Velvet Underground becomes Green Day.
	And the alt-right becomes Richard Spencer.
	And the internet becomes social media.
	And so the psychopaths, these people that don't understand TimeCube, these people that are running the companies that make all the garbage that people consume, consume, consume.
	Because that's all a mop does.
	They consume, consume, consume, and they output wool that can then be fleeced.
	They take over.
	And it was quite heartbreaking.
	Brett Stevens, apparently he invested a lot of energy putting together a subreddit.
	I know Reddit.
	Reddit tier.
	He put together a subreddit dedicated to Ask a Conservative.
	Right?
	Where liberals could go and ask a conservative why they believed these things.
	And I think last September, he was kicked off as the moderator for that group, even though he created it.
	And he doesn't engage in stupid crass trolling to upset people.
	I mean, it's fairly easy to ban racial slurs.
	Right?
	And Reddit doesn't do that.
	Reddit bans you for being an effective arguer, not for being offensive.
	So this Reddit has been nerfed.
	And something about cuckservatives on there now.
	Because the psychopaths, the big companies, they want to go back to the one-to-many dynamic.
	The reason TV commercials work and internet commercials don't is that you're forced to watch the TV commercials.
	You can skip over the internet once.
	And that's another interesting thing about the internet is something like 10% of the users are 80% of the traffic.
	The nice thing about broadcast television is that you only had seven channels to choose from and you had to sit through the ads.
	So your only alternative to television was to watch the paint dry.
	So everybody watched television.
	But the people that spend so much time on the internet are not the people with money.
	At least they're not the people that spend a lot of money.
	I'd say of that people that the people that comprise 80% of the traffic, which is going to include all of us, most of us, Most of us here, we don't buy anything.
	I mean, I know I've got this big collection of action figures.
	Oh, right.
	Wait, I don't have a collection of action figures because I'm not an idiot.
	If you have a collection of action figures, I'm not apologizing for that one.
	All right?
	Like, guys, if you have, like, three action figures, you got...
	You know, I need to go get that box of toys from a man's place.
	I want...
	I want my Darth Vader and my Leonardo.
	Those were cool action.
	That's all I want, though.
	If you've got those, what the hell are they?
	Funko Pops?
	Why are they called Funko Pops?
	Okay, Funko Pops are these really stupid little figurines that have a big head.
	So they're, oh, what's the term for that?
	You know, those pictures where they have a really big head of the person.
	It's caricature.
	They're like little caricature miniatures done in a cartoony style.
	They're like troll dolls, but for like troll dolls were actually funnier.
	Okay, because you could get like a Mad Max troll doll or a I don't know, whatever.
	Right?
	They had all these troll dolls, so you could see, like, oh, I like the Irish troll doll because I'm Irish.
	I'm gonna get that.
	I'm gonna put it on my desk of my office.
	It's like, okay, like, you know, there's something a little bit unique there.
	It's cute.
	It's funny.
	I got no problem with that, right?
	The Funko Pops are all about pop culture.
	Alright, so there's, of course, all the Avengers have Funko Pops and you name it.
	And there's people that, like, these things aren't cheap.
	They're like $15, $20, $40, something like that.
	And there's people with entire shelving networks of Funko Pops.
	what the hell are you doing with your life the problem with the advertising on the internet is that while there's a distinct segment of those people the mops the consumers is most people on the internet don't buy anything because they have no money And the other people on the internet don't buy anything because they're not stupid.
	So the wonderful news, the good news, everyone, is that companies are beginning to figure out that advertising online is a giant waste of money.
	And online advertising is what's supporting social media.
	And social media is designed so that the mocks are happy.
	It is a giant death spiral of failed consumerism that has ruined the internet.
	See if you go back, okay go back to the 1990s Television was stupid, man.
	Television was really, really stupid.
	And, you know, Ella, I know you are a huge fan of Bojack Horseman.
	Bojack Horseman is basically a series about how stupid 90s technology was.
	Oh, this is fantastic.
	The moon, is it a full moon tonight?
	It's lighting up these clouds in the distance through my window and setting off all the trees.
	It's like, it's wild.
	Sorry, distracted.
	Just no sense.
	It was supposed to rain tonight.
	Where's my rain?
	I want some romantic rainfall.
	Damn weather, man.
	Bojack Horseman, the series is essentially the death of the sitcom.
	How the sitcoms promised these happy endings that never came.
	And that how trying to live the life of the sitcom made Bojack miserable.
	Like the Bojack Horseman starts off where he is living in a sitcom, right?
	It starts off.
	The first season of Bojack Horseman is awful.
	It's the sort of thing.
	When did it come out?
	Like, that was almost 10 years ago.
	When Bojack Horseman came out 10 years ago, it was edgy and cool.
	And it's like a cartoon sitcom for Gen X and millennials that, look, they make sex jokes.
	And so we all started watching Bojack Horseman because that was edgy 10 years ago.
	And we had nothing better to do.
	Because none of us have jobs.
	And in retrospect, the first season of Bojack Horseman is almost completely insufferable.
	It is nothing but hijinks and sitcom plots.
	But then, starting in the second season, you start to realize there's a lot of depth to this series.
	And the whole series is about how that, like, every week the reset button gets hit.
	Reset button.
	Characters never die.
	They never get married.
	It's just reset button.
	Gotta maintain the dynamic.
	And how if you've been, Bojack has been reliving 1995 and he's like, what, 45 or 50?
	and how his life went absolutely nowhere, and he's become completely miserable and nihilistic because of that.
	So the 1990s, I mean, I grew up, I was like everybody else.
	I went to public school.
	I watched television.
	By the time I got to high school, probably around like grade 10, is grade 9, grade 10.
	I said, like, what the hell am I doing watching all these sitcoms?
	They're adding nothing to my life.
	It's the same stupid episode again and again.
	It's like, yeah, I want to go watch.
	I want to go be mildly entertained by this thing.
	But am I really going to structure my, like, all my time off?
	Because remember, right, we didn't have streaming back then, so if you wanted to watch the sitcom, you had to show up at 6:30 p.m. on the dot.
	Do I really want to structure my life around these stupid sitcoms?
	Or do I want to go be a free agent?
	And back in the 90s, you could turn off the TV and go to the library.
	Go to the coffee shop.
	Go to the music, whatever it was.
	You could go do stuff.
	But what's happened with social media, it's like they took over the TVs and shut down the libraries.
	So, no, I don't want to play grab ass on social media.
	That article that Brett Stevens wrote about the Ask a Conservative Reddit that he set up.
	Six comments.
	Oh, you're just angry because there's not enough neo-Nazi stuff on Reddit.
	There's a little snarky, actually, Midwit, like the smartest dumb people.
	The mops that are leaders.
	Oh, man, this one time.
	So one of my old friends gone to stand-up comedy, right?
	And comedy does lend itself towards the left a little bit better than the right, because the right is usually too serious about things.
	But yeah, one time I'm hanging out with him.
	And there's this just this total fedora, right?
	And the guy is trying to ridicule somebody else because he's not woke enough.
	And so I just ripped into this guy and just tore him to shreds.
	Because he didn't know what he was talking about.
	The guy's a midwit.
	Right?
	He knows the talking points that he saw on the stupid fake news show.
	Jon Stewart.
	Yeah, he knew all his Jon Stewart talking points, but he didn't actually know anything.
	And so I just ripped into him and made a complete fool out of him in front of his girlfriend.
	It's like, don't you try and don't you try and be an asshole around me, my friend.
	I've got you outclassed.
	The Smart Mops.
	Smart mops, you just don't like it.
	You're not up to you, Nazis.
	Get the fuck out of here.
	But see what's happened is that the social media has managed to capture the entire internet and I miss the Wild West.
	Let's read some of these comments.
	I miss the technology from 2000 to 2012 because we're still dealing with old tech, meshing with new tech.
	Film and digital photo, for example.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	25% of my job comes from online advertising.
	work in marketing as an assistant so I can't give much advice hmm Maddie I would recommend looking into career alternatives because I think that this bubbles bursting I think it's bursting this year.
	Yeah, online advertising actually doesn't work.
	Very seldom does it work.
	You know, online advertising works for Funko Pops, but it doesn't really work for anything else.
	this is the good news.
	Now the thing about the old intranet...
	In a funny way, this is like I got voiced by this patar, didn't I?
	The old internet prior to 2012.
	And it's like, yeah, it's, I guess that's when Obama got elected and everyone got activated, right?
	But prior to 2012, I like having a diverse group of friends.
	I like hanging out with people that don't hold all the exact same opinions as I do.
	I like being challenged.
	I like Freethinkers, but in around 2012 is when all the Freethinkers got replaced, isn't it?
	Got replaced by groupthink.
	You know, Velvet Underground became Green Day, right around 2012.
	And all this control, Which serves the mops is organized by social media, which is driven by internet marketing, which doesn't work, and they've been lying about the numbers for years now.
	So I am very much looking forward to the next dot-com bubble crashing because it means less idiots I have to deal with.
	It also means that streaming services, like YouTube, YouTube is going to be completely nerfed.
	YouTube is just going to become television that they've been trying to turn into television for a very long time.
	I have no idea if sites like DLive will go down because DLive is built on the crypto network.
	You can even give me crypto for a tip on here, folks.
	And by the way, somebody very kind did send me 50 bucks of crypto last week.
	I don't know who it was because crypto is anonymous, but a thank you to that person.
	I don't know how much DLive is based upon servers and how much is based upon the streaming network.
	Like the infrastructure that I'm paying for by having an internet service.
	Got no idea.
	But a lot of the garbage will be going down.
	So it's an interesting time.
	We might be going back to the Wild West.
	Because what happens?
	They tried to take over the Wild West.
	Last time that happened, we got California.
	And look at how that turned out.
	This time around, they can't seem to farm anything.
	They can't seem to make a profit off of the internet.
	And I really, really like that.
	Here's something Brett Stevens didn't touch on, but I think this is really, really worth considering.
	There was a brief period where you could make some decent money making YouTube videos.
	Not amazing money, but you could make decent money.
	You changed all of that.
	What changed all of that was Patreon and other similar systems.
	Like, isn't this the wildest thing?
	Back in the TV era, the only way to make TV pay for itself was advertisements.
	Nobody paid for TV.
	Like, you might pay for the cable box to get the extra 30 channels.
	But nobody was willing to pay for TV.
	And now, like, we've got the streaming services, Netflix, Hulu, whatever.
	These streaming services are, they're kind of, they're the same as the TV model, except that instead of paying for the cable box and watching advertisements, you just pay for access in the first place.
	Which is cool and all.
	But let's be honest, I'm not a TV guy.
	What do I mean by that?
	What I mean is that part of what's been well, like obviously I got just hit with a freight truck in 2016.
	And then another freight truck hit me in 2017.
	And then 2018 and then 2019 and 2020, I just kind of chilled out.
	And now I basically quit.
	Because I'm not a TV guy.
	TV is about the mass appeal.
	It's about getting the mops.
	And the thing about mops, the way you make money off of a mop is you fleece them for 25 cents.
	Like if you've got Netflix, what does that cost?
	Like 30 bucks a month?
	You know, something like 20, 30 bucks a month, something like that?
	Doesn't cost that much.
	And if you're paying for it, chances are you watch a decent amount of Netflix.
	So everybody that you watch, you're giving them 25 cents.
	You're watching a series with fantastic cinematography, fantastic special effects, great acting, and you only pay 25 cents for it.
	Man, I don't got the patience for that.
	I get bored by that.
	Dude, I'm a geek.
	You know, like, I could have sat down.
	Like this live stream where I'm getting drunk and hanging out with you guys and having a little bit of fun.
	I could have really got my act together.
	I could have sat down and organized this and had a bunch of visual graphics on display.
	You know, it'd be a little bit more sorted out, easier to communicate to the mops.
	And on top of that, I'd have a copyright on it.
	Right?
	If you were going to take any of these ideas I was mentioning, you'd have to cite them.
	Maybe give me money.
	Or that whole Hollywood machine.
	Where everything's really finely polished, but it's also completely nerfed.
	That's the TV model of things.
	The geek model of things, which by the way, it's not a business you should get into.
	it's a terrible terrible business you want to get into you want into showbiz Go Hollywood, man.
	That's smart money.
	But the geek model is Patreon.
	Like, holy shit, people will give you weight.
	Like, most people give you nothing.
	But the occasional person is like, here's 50 bucks.
	Well, shit, thank you.
	It's like Velvet Underground.
	Hey, man, I love your music.
	Here's an amplifier that I'm not using anymore.
	Shit, thank you.
	It's not a smart business to be in.
	But isn't it so crazy that people refuse to watch ads on YouTube?
	And, like, honestly, what do you make?
	Like I said, like, when you're a content creator, somebody watches an ad on your YouTube video, I think you make like one penny.
	So who even gives a shit, man?
	Like, you really don't make much money from the advertisements.
	Unless if you're Hollywood.
	Which is the direction YouTube is going.
	Case in point, uh, Mr. Bollin, I- By which way, I totally like his content, man.
	It's great content.
	Go check out Mr. Bollen.
	B-A-L-L-E-N.
	Cool dude.
	it's very hollywood-y like it like if i'm the extreme casual he's he's closer to the hollywood I'm not knocking him.
	I'm not saying anything bad about him.
	What I'm saying is that that guy gets tons of views, is widely acceptable, and he puts a lot of effort into making the videos look good.
	Which I just can't be bothered.
	It's like, no, I want to go do the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing.
	They always need to be experimenting and doing something new.
	And the internet used to be a place for weirdos like us.
	And now it's become a place for normies.
	Which, hey, there's nothing wrong with normie.
	We all have normie interests, right?
	But it's become so normie that you're not allowed to be weird.
	Shit, do you remember when CBC was all about weird stuff like Kids in the Hall?
	Twitch City.
	Oh god, if you guys can find Twitch City, there is a weird funny series from the 90s.
	What was that one?
	There was this series on CBC about a news office.
	And everybody that worked in this news office were complete psychopaths.
	I remember there's one episode where the nuclear plant in Barrie, Ontario was going critical.
	But in the news office, it was nothing but office politics.
	All backstabbing one another, all trying to be popular, get the most views.
	There's another episode where like the guys, like the owner's brother got out of the mental asylum and took over the company, and nobody liked him.
	So they gaslit him until he had a mental breakdown.
	What they did is they put their coffee cups.
	Everybody had their own coffee cup that they left by the coffee machine.
	And anytime this guy left his office, they'd go and hide one of their coffee cups in his desk and say, you know, people are pretty territorial about their coffee cups here.
	You should only use your own coffee cup, otherwise people will hate you.
	And they'd go and sneak their coffee cups in until the guy freaked out.
	That was a funny series.
	What was that called?
	Tell me in the comments if you know what the hell I'm talking about.
	Rick Mercer was in it.
	I'm sure you can find it on IMDB.
	2019, Tongo lost its intranet.
	and they mentioned they were happier in a lot of ways because they were forced to be a community again.
	By the way, this is the other thing too about social media is designed to amplify the voice of an extreme minority.
	As I said way earlier in the stream, like all these social media companies, have Chinese nationals working for them, because the idiotic radical left narrative is extremely
	beneficial to China.
	And so, China puts people on the boards of all these social media companies.
	They buy politicians.
	Like, a good lawyer.
	Russian hacking shit.
	They're so funny.
	The Russians didn't do anything during that last election that America doesn't do in Eastern Europe.
	In fact, they do a lot less.
	You want to see the real hacking?
	it's China.
	God, it's also transparent, too.
	Think about this.
	It used to be this leftist girl I was chatting with, flirting with, whatever.
	It was amazing how willfully blind she was.
	Like, come on, why do you think we have these wars in the Middle East?
	It's to preserve the petrodollar.
	The petrodollar has wound up building up Chinese manufacturing at the expense of the American middle class.
	And so those psychos in the CCP are the ones pushing for Biden.
	Like, how many dots do I need to connect for you before you see that you're being played, honey?
	It's got absolutely nothing to do with trans rights.
	Yeah, we probably shouldn't be beating up trans people, I agree.
	One of the things I'm really sick of is the 42% meme.
	It's actually complete bullshit and it's used to it's mainly being used to bully people on the internet It's stupid.
	It's pointless.
	Like, you want to go criticize those, what are the tranny reading hours that are arranged by pedophiles, and half the transsexuals there are pedophiles, registered sex offenders?
	Yeah, criticize that.
	That's legit.
	And in fact, there's a ton of people, there's a lot of tranners out there that will criticize that as well.
	They're not your enemies.
	You're being tricked into fighting each other, you stupid idiots.
	Oh, goodness.
	It's all so tiresome, isn't it?
	Anyway, sorry, I started off somewhere.
	I was saying that this radical left that's being promoted by social media, partly, it's because they consume product.
	Partly, it's because they're far more prone to using social media.
	Right?
	Like, you know, that woman that, I was going to say, well, guys do it too, but, you know, they pull something out of the fridge and they open it up and they're like, oh my god, it smells awful.
	Go smell this.
	No.
	No, I don't want to smell it.
	You know what the first step to deprogramming yourself from social media is?
	It's that when you find something that really pisses you off, don't share it.
	Leave it alone.
	Drop it.
	something else.
	There are three types of things that are gonna piss you off.
	Number one are things that should piss you off, that piss everybody off, and eventually something's going to be done about it.
	Extreme example, 9-11.
	Nobody liked 9-11.
	Everybody was pretty angry.
	You didn't need to go all around telling people about 9-11.
	Everybody knew about it already.
	So, you know, be informed about 9-11, but, like, move on with your life.
	Number two are things that sound controversial, but actually aren't.
	This is the thing that the conspiracy theorists fall into all the time.
	They read something that sounds shocking.
	Oh my god, did you know that they just declared that something is legal now?
	Don't want to go into dangerous territory where people quote me out of context, right?
	There's always some judge that ruled that X, Y, and Z is now A, B, and C, right?
	Oh my god, how?
	What is wrong with our society?
	Then you go and look into it.
	And actually the judge has a good argument.
	It's a complex, irrelevant situation that you can just forget about it.
	doesn't affect your life oh my god this man got away with murder There were a lot of second...
	Like, there was a complex situation.
	It wasn't really murder.
	You know what?
	I can't sneeze that guy.
	That was a whole bunch of really not worth being upset over.
	Guy was a total asshole.
	Cops did absolutely nothing wrong.
	And you got all worked up emotionally because you interpreted.
	Interpreted it incorrectly the first time around.
	So don't share that, either.
	Then there's the other thing that you shouldn't share, which is true and accurate information, but nobody's going to listen to it.
	So the Trudeau, he passed the new green tax law, which is going to raise the price of gasoline by 40 cents per liter.
	I think there's two and a half liters in a gallon, or something like that.
	That's a lot of money.
	And it doesn't just affect me getting gas in my car at the gas pump.
	That affects the price of food at the grocery store.
	That's pretty worrisome, actually.
	But, you know, sharing that, again, it's just more bullshit.
	No one's...
	No one's going to listen to it.
	It's going to get lost in the sea.
	That's useful information that you can use to plan.
	So, use that to plan.
	Getting away from social media is realizing that it's all bullshit to begin with.
	It's a bunch of chickens getting herded from one side of the coop to the other.
	Largely irrelevant.
	All right, let me top off this ice and then let's check the comments.
	This jacket
	is generating a lot of static electricity.
	No new comments.
	I'm gonna reload the stream just in case.
	My channel?
	There we go.
	Nope, no new comments.
	Just a Maddie.
	Well, this is going to be about 9 p.m. local time.
	I'd put 11 p.m. over on the East Coast.
	we'll get things shut down pretty quickly all right all that rant we started with Tonga got forced back into having community Yeah, like the internet.
	Sorry, social media is really designed for the hysterics, which, hysterics can be a little bit of fun to poke in prod because it's so easy to make a hysterical person flip out.
	And seeing people flip out is pretty funny, isn't it?
	But it's not really useful or interesting, right?
	Like once you've done it a few times, there's not much left to that well.
	So, you know, move on from it.
	That'd be my bit of wisdom.
	you know what if i'm correct about the like i need 200 followers on here before it actually saves the live stream then it doesn't matter if i dance about in my underwear for the next 30 minutes does it?
	Normally I'm very conscientious about is this good internet radio?
	Which I'm not saying I make the best internet radio, but you know, I try and make good internet radio.
	I guess it doesn't matter, does it?
	Since this is not being recorded.
	Wait.
	Wait, no, I got that autist over in Ontario.
	The guy's been medicated for just being unnecessarily hostile to everybody he meets.
	I think he's on Ace.
	That's basically the guy is so emotionally repugnant That the government gives him money to pay rent because he's impossible to be around.
	I should have a downstairs neighbor like that.
	She's impossible.
	She wasn't retarded.
	There's the weirdest thing about her.
	She was not retarded.
	I mean, she wasn't bright, okay?
	She wasn't very bright.
	But she was not retarded.
	And yet she was just so belligerent constantly.
	She'd just go and start fights with everybody.
	She was impossible to be around.
	She was so toxic of a person that the Canadian government actually gave her money to pay for rent.
	Which at first I was a little bit resentful.
	Why the hell are you getting money?
	But then, after knowing her for about six months, I'm like, oh, oh, because you're that emotionally crippled that man, it really sucks to be you.
	I don't even resent that.
	Yeah, I got a guy like that over in Ontario.
	Total psycho.
	He stalks me.
	Speaking of that, I've got a guy here in Calgary that he stalks me.
	Well, no, he doesn't e-stalk me, but he's completely fucking insane.
	And well, anyway, a little bit worried that he's going to go Rochambeau on me.
	We'll see.
	If you hear about Davis Rini getting murdered, it's because, yeah, that crazy guy who thinks he's God.
	Yeah, he came after me.
	That would be why.
	All right, we still got four viewers.
	Guys, toss me some questions.
	Running out of steam.
	I mean, or don't, or don't.
	you're not obligated to but nobody else to hang out with tonight you know maybe I should keep this title Why you should respect powerful women?
	That could be very funny.
	Call a place.
	He hasn't done anything.
	He, oh god, his girl's friend is speaking to a supernatural entity that's very furious with me because I question whether or not it might be an angel or something else.
	And so it's specifically angry with me.
	And he is absolutely convinced that I didn't get kicked off of YouTube.
	And I'm just pretending that I got kicked off of YouTube.
	Like one of the Enderpants gnomes because somehow I profit from that.
	It's actually funny because he was telling Big L about this.
	Like he was sending all these claims to Big L and then linking to random videos on YouTube.
	Like none of it made any sense, right?
	But it was just like, it was just enough crazy.
	Like there's got to be at least like it's crazy, but it's at least 10% true.
	I said, no, no, Big L. Go to my computer.
	Go try, go click YouTube.
	Go try and log in and see what happens.
	You know, it's like I like I've been IP banned.
	I can't even get a like a backup YouTube account.
	I tried to set up a backup YouTube.
	Not even to post videos, just so I could subscribe to channels and get recommended videos that I want to watch.
	I can't even do that.
	It's not like, Big L wasn't calling me a liar.
	He wasn't...
	This guy's going on and on, like, this big rant about this giant conspiracy that he's doing this and...
	No, I'm really not.
	I'm actually pretty transparent about most things.
	Good luck.
	You've got basic people reading skills.
	You can...
	I'm a pretty open book.
	but like it was it was so interesting like the level of crazy you think like nobody if there's that much smoke there must must be a fire right No, Big L, here's everything, man.
	Here's everything.
	And he's like, whoa, okay, I knew the guy was crazy, but shit, he's actually really crazy, isn't he?
	Yeah, he's actually kind of dangerously crazy not much you can do about that Well, and listen, in this guy's defense, alright?
	He's not been dealt the best hand of cards in life.
	Neither have I, for that matter.
	Pretty sure most of you don't have the best hand of cards.
	Like, we play the hand we've got.
	We play it as well as we can.
	But it's not peaches and cream over here 24-7, you know?
	I'm sure it's not the same where you are.
	So, like, I get why this guy's angry.
	I'm not going to go into his business, right?
	I get it why he's angry.
	Hell, I even get why he's angry with me, man.
	I'm like, I'm a fucking asshole.
	I'm a very difficult person to be friends with.
	There are tons of reasons to not like me.
	Most of them valid.
	Ironically, none of those reasons are why he doesn't like me.
	So, like, I feel for him, but he's still crazy.
	I think we're dealing with the fourth generation of single motherhood.
	An Uber Eats driver was killed by a 13 and 15 year old that tried to cardjack them.
	shit man.
	Hey guys, as long as you keep commenting, I'll probably keep streaming.
	Shit, man.
	What a terrible way to go.
	You know, Pickell, he was, um, he was driving back from the hospital.
	Yeah, I'm kind of fat right now, aren't I?
	Let me tuck my shirt in.
	Look less fat.
	Should be less fat.
	That would be the smart idea, but I'm just going to look less fat for now by tucking my shirt in.
	He was driving down the road the other day, and he saw that somebody was broken down, and he slowed down a bit and was thinking, like, do I want to help this guy out at 3 in the morning?
	And then the guy flipped him off.
	And I said to him, like, man, you're in the family way now.
	You can't be risking your life for some weirdo with a broken down car, can you?
	If you're going to be stupid enough, and I know a lot of you will, right?
	You guys got on your.
	But if you're going to stop to help somebody at the side of the road, park 50 meters away from them, 50 yards for you Americans, and scope out the area.
	Make sure there's nowhere that an ambush could be hiding.
	Be extremely cautious.
	There's a lot of crazy people out there.
	And it ain't improving.
	There's more crazy people by every day.
	I'll tell you where the crazy started.
	At least in America.
	The crazy started in the 1950s with the beat mix.
	If you read that book, On the Road by Kerouak, I think it's by Kerouak.
	On the Road, which supposedly was written in a weekend while he was hopped up on methamphetamine, which I don't believe at all.
	But supposedly it was.
	Tell the story where he was staying with his aunt or something in New York.
	And then he was such a loser, he said, no, I'm going to just drive across the country or I'm going to move across the country.
	And it's all of his misadventures en route.
	Two of the misadventures stand out.
	Like he runs into a dude and they become buddies.
	They're both just loser scam artists.
	And first, his buddy allegedly knocks up a chick and so they run out of town.
	And then down in Texas, there's a guy that needs to deliver, needs a car delivered to Los Angeles.
	He says, you seem like a kind of fine, upstanding young man.
	Why don't you drive this car for me?
	You paid for the gas and you've got free transport.
	Just deliver it to this guy over in LA.
	And they deliver it, and the car is all beat to hell by the time they get it there.
	Right?
	They totally screw up this car during the delivery.
	And when they deliver it, they're like, nah, man, it was like this when we got it.
	That guy back in Texas must have screwed you.
	It's a crazy book.
	It's worth reading because it's this like this old world where a guy in Texas that had never met you before and you're from New York would entrust you with a luxury car on a handshake
	That's the world that used to be crazy, isn't it?
	And you know what?
	I don't know, if I make this point properly, what I was saying about the, the whole Patreon and tips and all of this, for that's crazy, freaking weirdos On the fringe of cultural movements in society.
	Like the absolute craziness that somebody would man, this is good content you're making.
	Here's five bucks.
	Shit, man.
	Five bucks a quarter of a Netflix subscription.
	That's a lot of money when Netflix only gets 25 cents per episode, you know?
	Well, that's the sort of high trust we used to have that just ain't there anymore.
	Or rather, rather, it still is there, actually.
	It still is there, but you got to speak softly and carry a big stick.
	Be very careful about who you trust with good faith.
	That is who, direct object.
	Whom is dative or ablative?
	Because you still gotta be a good person, but you know, you gotta be wise as serpents, but gentle as ducks.
	be aware of the predators but still help out the people that aren't predators.
	Will this new dot-com crash be good or not?
	Wrong question, actually, wrong question.
	Like, there is maybe I need to think more about this.
	But the past year has been idiotic.
	Yeah, I came up with a weird suspicion about a year ago.
	And I'm not saying this, I'm I don't think this suspicion is correct, but it's close to correct.
	It's something like I'm not completely convinced that money exists.
	Yeah, I'm going off the deep end, aren't I?
	But somehow, we shut down the economy, put tons of people out of work, and yet, Amazon's doing pretty well, aren't I?
	aren't they?
	I mean, like, obviously money does exist, like, or math exists, but clearly our economy...
	Maybe I should get certified in cabinet making.
	Have you said that before, Maddie?
	Somebody else was talking about cabinet making.
	Wasn't you?
	We completely nuked the economy last year.
	And there's no mass starvation.
	So, my weird idea is somehow society is just driven by faith that society exists in some sort of weird way.
	I mean, now we're screwing with some very primordial forces right now.
	I have no idea how the hell I afforded food for the past year.
	I've got no idea.
	doesn't make any sense to me.
	In theory, it's just basic arithmetic, right?
	You need X number of calories, like 1,800 or something, 1,800 per day, to be fed.
	It's a simple problem of arithmetic.
	And the past year has thrown all of that on its head.
	Now, it should also be said that for the past year, we've been burning up our savings.
	There's a thing that happened back in the 90s.
	Back in the 90s, this new philosophy was adopted in corporate America.
	Trim the fat.
	Trim the fat.
	Grace of God, absolutely.
	No, first time you've mentioned cabinet making.
	Who the hell was I talking about cabinet making with?
	I've been a girl on a dating website, actually.
	Somebody else was talking to me about cabinet making.
	Look into it, Amadi.
	Look into it.
	There's your sign from God.
	I was talking to somebody about cabinet making, which is such a weird and random thing that I barely do any woodwork, okay?
	There's your sign from God.
	Go look into cabinet making.
	Anyway, the 90s was all about trimming the fat.
	Complete misunderstanding of the Pareto principle.
	Basically, what happened in the 90s is all of these companies that were healthy, they were healthy companies.
	They got these CEOs, they got these executives that came in and said, Wow, there's so many people that don't do any useful work.
	Let's fire all those people.
	Let's lay them off so that only the useful people are still working.
	And then, a couple years after that, every company that adopted that philosophy tanked.
	Because guess what?
	Turns out that those aren't useless people.
	Same way, fat's not useless.
	And I think one of the things that's happened over the past year, the reason the economy hasn't crashed.
	Well, I'll give you a small personal example.
	Somebody's calling me, but I don't recognize the number.
	Maybe I'll call them back after the stream.
	We'll see.
	Maybe I'll text them.
	I don't like receiving phone calls.
	Over the past year, I actually went through my storage shed and found some junk I didn't need anymore and I sold it online.
	Now, all told it was less than $300, right?
	Not a huge amount of money.
	But it's interesting that this year I was broke enough to go do that.
	That's in the fat I'd accumulated.
	Some resources that were, they really weren't worth very much to me.
	But I found a place to offload them, get a little bit of cash out of the deal.
	So, on the one hand, the past year, 2020, taught us that most of the jobs out there are useless because despite a lot of hiccups, we still had medical supplies, we still had food, we still had all of this stuff.
	Despite, like, how many people being out of work?
	Forcefully out of work?
	That's interesting.
	But at the same time, we burned up a lot of fat.
	A lot of useful fat.
	And we're skinny.
	We're still functioning.
	But for how much longer?
	that's interesting i'll tell you what i'm atty i've i've
	encountered the weirdest job opportunity and I found out indirectly that some of my pre like the things I'm actually qualified for are that those industries are really really hammered
	And so I'm thinking about doubling down on this really weird, tentative, extremely part-time industry.
	Who the fuck knows what's going on right now?
	So cabinet maker, why the fuck not?
	People need cabinets.
	I mean, I guess I assumed they all came from IKEA, but the hell do I know?
	I'm not a woodworker.
	All right, 1921.
	I'm going to go for 10 more minutes.
	10 more minutes, guys.
	Somebody else in the mountain tossed me the comments.
	Pretty sure she's married or something.
	I'm going to finish off going back to the Weird internet cowboys.
	Shit, do you know what I should have done in this stream?
	Do you know what we're gonna do right now?
	I'm gonna read you the story of the gazebo.
	give me one sec here the dread gazebo Let's see.
	None of these are the original website, but...
	social media they're screwing everything up okay see i saw the text but then it no i don't want the app want that text that just disappeared.
	Oh here we go.
	So the original story?
	No, it's not the original story.
	But it's a reproduction of the original story.
	Sit down and enjoy a story from Uncle Leo.
	In the early 70s, Ed Whitechurch ran his game, and one of the participants was Eric Sorenson.
	Dungeon and Dragons game, for the record.
	Eric plays something like a computer.
	When he games, he methodically considers each possibility before choosing his preferred option.
	If given time, he will invariably pick the optimal solution.
	It has been known to take weeks.
	He is otherwise, in all respects, a superior gamer.
	Eric was playing a neutral paladin in Ed's game.
	He was on some Lord's Land when the following exchange occurred.
	You see a well-groomed garden.
	In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo.
	A gazebo?
	What color is it?
	It's white, Eric.
	How far away is it?
	About 50 yards.
	How big is it?
	It's about 38 feet across, 15 feet high, with a pointed top.
	I use my sword to detect good on it.
	It's not good, Eric.
	It's a gazebo.
	I call out to it.
	It won't answer.
	It's a gazebo.
	I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows.
	Does it respond in any way?
	No, Eric, it's a gazebo.
	I shoot it with my bow, rolled a hit.
	What happened?
	There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
	Wasn't it wounded?
	Of course not, Eric.
	It's a gazebo.
	But that was a plus-three arrow!
	It's a gazebo, Eric!
	A gazebo!
	If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose.
	Or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try.
	It's a fucking gazebo!
	Long pause.
	He has no axe or fire spells.
	I run away.
	Ed, the dungeon master, thoroughly frustrated.
	It's too late!
	You've awakened the gazebo.
	It catches you and eats you.
	Eric reaches for the dice.
	Maybe I'll roll up a fire using mage so I can avenge my paladin.
	At this point, the increasingly abused fellow party members restore demonicum of order by explaining to Eric what a gazebo is.
	Thus ends the tale of Eric and the dread gazebo.
	It could have been worse.
	At least the geezebo wasn't on a grassy knoll.
	And that is the sort of cyber hacker world I want to go back to.
	Uh-oh, Maddie, you're not married.
	I love unavailable women in long-distance relationships.
	Don't tease me.
	That's more of a larger website.
	Look up magic and more magic if you want to see what hacking is all about.
	If you want to see what geeks are all about, the weirdos.
	And in the interest of pissing off my own fan base, we're going to finish this stream off with one thing.
	that porn might save the internet.
	Thank you about social media.
	Think about the ease of use of social media.
	Like, that's really why I hate social media.
	Used to be that you used to need to know a network of blogs, of websites, of all of this stuff.
	You couldn't just Google things.
	You have to go find it for yourself.
	This organic search that you had to earn the information.
	And likewise, the way you earned having a website with viewers was by having some sort of quality that you brought to the table.
	It wasn't about keywords and hyperlinks.
	It was about actually providing value.
	In a weird way, pornography might actually save the internet.
	Because, yeah, pornography has become mainstream, but pornography also lends itself to anonymity.
	Green Zeke, thank you for following.
	Who's your favorite hero from history?
	Well, I got baptized in St. Joan of Arc's Church.
	I would say her, but that would embarrass her, so.
	Robert Heinlein.
	He probably wouldn't be too embarrassed to have me as a fanboy.
	Robert Heinlein.
	In fact, the recent crackdown on Pornhub is actually really funny.
	Really funny, because if they can universalize porn, if they can get you to have the same account at Facebook and Amazon and Pornhub and Twitter, then they've got you.
	But that recent crackdown on Pornhub really screwed up Pornhub.
	There's this inherent plausible deniability that you want with pornography.
	You want to look up weird stuff and not have that connected to your recommended purchases on Amazon.
	And the more they try and centralize all of this, the more and more people, like that, like porn is going to be what alienates everybody.
	You know, like your typical norm, like, okay, the boomers, they don't even look at porn.
	They don't even know what porn is.
	So they're perfectly okay with everything being centralized and monitored.
	It just makes better search results for me.
	But you don't want your suggested recommendations showing up on your work computer, do you?
	And you know, part of the reason I read that gazebo story, Go to the website where that originated.
	Look up magic and more magic.
	And then go look up the psychological profile of the average hacker.
	And they're not a normie.
	They're not a good conservative.
	They don't fit in.
	They're weird.
	And I like those weird people.
	I like those 2005 transsexual programmers that started Occupy Wall Street.
	Yeah, before it went mainstream, the Progressive Stack took it over.
	Now they've got the utterly boring.
	Do you know what the most boring thing on the planet is?
	A tranny that will lecture you about what's socially acceptable.
	That's the most boring thing on the planet.
	And I find this all really funny.
	Because I know that the alt-right loves to criticize pornography right now.
	I mean, there's lots of things to criticize about it.
	Tons of things to criticize about it.
	I seldom hear in-depth criticisms.
	I hear the basic bitch criticisms.
	When I'm gonna, I'm just kind of sitting back and watching this and saying, you know, like Facebook and Twitter, like, I really hope they're gonna face plant soon.
	And Google.
	There are still gonna be porn sites with thousands of videos up that actually require Boolean search algebra.
	Which, that's interesting.
	That's worth thinking about.
	Green Zeke says, my girlfriend's a history major, so I've been getting into history more the last couple years.
	Classical is a cool time, period.
	Ah, God.
	You know what is so awesome, man?
	The incredible variety of history videos you can find on YouTube.
	I'll be honest, these days you can get a better education in history in six months of COVID with YouTube than you could have with the four years I spent at McMaster University.
	You're spoiled.
	Take advantage of it.
	Fantastic stuff out there.
	If you're looking for a good podcast, Hardcore History.
	Hardcore history.
	That's a cool guy You know, it's funny I used to be so.
	Okay, so, like I was always a weird thinker.
	And then somehow weird thinking got shoved into being the alt-right after Obama got elected.
	Then I was so terrified about towing the party line with the fucking losers that were part of that movement.
	Now I'm coming out the other side.
	Now I just want to be weird again.
	And you know, I started off the stream.
	You've watched some hardcore.
	He's great.
	He's fucking excellent, isn't he?
	It's actually a very nice combination of traditional historians, which told you an epic story, and modern historical skepticism.
	The problem with a modern history degree is it's nothing but the historical skepticism that, oh, everybody's lying and there's no heroism.
	Problem with traditional is it was all political bullshit.
	He finds a really nice balance between the two.
	Anyway, I'm coming back around just to being.
	I just want to be a weird cowboy on the internet.
	Just another cyberpunk cowboy.
	And what, you don't like what I'm saying?
	Fuck you, get the fuck out of here.
	You have got.
	You're no fun to talk to.
	I want people that disagree with me, people with interesting opinions and thoughts and perspectives on the way that reality works.
	You want to go do the daytime sitcom, man?
	Hollywood's waiting for you.
	Anyway, um, oh, Greeny, I already followed.
	I think I need to get to 200 followers before it saves a copy of my live streams.
	I should post about that on my blog.
	You know, for all that matters.
	Anyway, guys.
	Thank you very much for keeping me company.
	I'm not seeing any more comments, so I think it's time to get the fuck out of here.
	Green Zeke, by the way, I do announce the streams on my Twitter, my Gab.
	Yeah, my Twitter and my Gab.
	That's it.
	I'm actually mostly shutting down my Facebook.
	I just got two 30-day bans in a row on Facebook.
	So I'm not posting on Facebook anymore.
	Just going to leave the account open, can use it for messaging, what have you.
	Anyway, thank you very much for joining.
	Carpe futurum tene traditum.
	God bless all of you.
