Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Heasers for Friday the 19th of March 2021.
I'm joined by Callum and we're going to be talking about how Biden has just lost at internet blood sports, how the progressives are punishing everyone for everything all the time, and of course the man card that Elliot Page has now acquired.
And whether Hollywood celebrities are actually sane.
But before we do that, we of course have loads of premium content on lowsees.com that isn't available anywhere else, and if you would like to get access to that, you can become a member, which means you get the ability to comment on the site, send us video messages if you're a We're a gold member and generally get to enjoy everything that we do, hopefully.
But anyway, let's begin because I really want to talk about this and I just want to preface this by saying this would never have happened under Trump.
Never in a million years would Trump have been humiliated internationally in the way that Biden has.
But Biden has been humiliated internationally because he is a senile doddering old coot.
Here's just a recent example.
...must be matched with fairness and equity.
Now when President Harris and I took a virtual tour of a vaccination center in Arizona not long ago...
...didn't even correct himself.
It's one thing like flubbing something and saying, oh, I meant Vice President.
Fair enough.
But he didn't even correct himself.
Just President Harris and I? Well, who the hell are you if she's the President?
But anyway, so he alleged that Vladimir Putin is a killer.
Not much of a controversial allegation.
But if we can play this clip...
You think he's a killer?
Mm-hmm.
I do.
So what price must he pay?
The price he's going to pay, well, you'll see shortly.
I'm not going to, there's, by the way, we ought to be able, that old, that trade expression, walk and chew gum at the same time.
There are places where it's in our mutual interest to work together.
That's why I... You just called him a murderer.
Like, why would he want to work with you?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I believe he is too.
But, like, what gibberish is this?
You ever heard the phrase, chew gum and walk at the same time?
Well, yeah, but can you do it, Mr.
Biden?
Like, literally Grandpa from The Simpsons is like, and that was the style in the day.
But he interrupts himself halfway through his own sentence on the subject.
So what the hell is going on?
Right?
So unsurprisingly, like, Vladimir Putin just, well, I mean, he says, would you like a live debate?
He came out saying this, it takes one to know one.
And that's not just a children saying a joke.
There's a deep psychological meaning in this.
We'll always see in another person our own qualities and think that he is the same as us.
It's like, oof, this is pretty good shade being thrown by Putin here.
Yeah, I might be a killer, but you only see that in me because you see it in yourself.
It's like, ooh.
You know, okay.
And, of course, he says, without irony, I'm wishing Biden good health.
And so, yeah, Gorton looked down.
Biden opened his fat, well, not his fat mouth, his senile mouth, and was like, yeah, Vladimir Putin's a bad guy.
And Putin's like, well, debate me, bro.
And...
Stream on my channel.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, literally.
That was literally it.
We could do a live Zoom call where we both debate this and Biden cucked.
Biden, he declined because apparently Biden is, quote, quite busy, as the New York Post reports.
Sorry, too busy for that debate, murderer.
Takes one to know one.
That's where we are.
It's not great.
I mean, the US president running away from a debate.
No.
I mean, do you think for a second that Trump would have just been like, no, I'm just too busy.
Yeah, come on, let's do it.
Yeah, exactly.
He would have been smashing it all over the place.
So yeah, Biden gets absolutely crushed on the IBS front with Russia, and so let's go to China, because of course there was the Alaskan-US-Chinese diplomatic meeting yesterday, and it carries on today, but obviously we're ahead of the time zone.
But before we do that, let's quickly refresh our memory about Di Dongsheng.
Now you can see on this that the video that we're referencing here has been taken down.
Do you remember a few months ago when we covered Di Dongsheng?
We'll give you a few of his quotes.
"We know the Trump administration is in a trade war with us, so why can't we fix the Trump administration?
Why did China and the US used to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 and 2016?
I'm going to throw something out that may be a little bit explosive here.
It's because we have people at the top.
We have our old friends who are at the top of America's core inner circle of power and influence.
During the US-China trade war, Wall Street tried to help, and I know my friends in the US told me they tried to help, but they couldn't do much.
But now we're seeing Biden was elected, the traditional elite, the political elite, the establishment, they're very close to Wall Street.
You see that, right?
Trump has been saying that Biden's son has some sort of global foundation.
Have you noticed that?
Who helped Hunter build the foundations?
Got it.
There are a lot of deals inside all of these.
So this is Di Dongcheng saying, look, we just give them stacks.
Stacks of cash, and we give them two stacks if they disagree.
And it's like everything the Trump campaign or accusing the Biden campaign of is true.
Yes.
And why would we lie about this?
Because we stand to lose.
Yeah.
And then they took it down.
Also, you saw this video.
Oops, we'll take that down then because we don't want you seeing this video.
Yeah.
So, the US-China-Alaska meeting, in that light, was something of a catastrophe for the Americans, coming hot on the heels of the Russian catastrophe.
So, as Politico report, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in Anchorage, Alaska, with Chinese diplomats Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi.
And they haven't, at the moment, the Biden administration hasn't actually done anything yet.
So they haven't rolled back the sanctions and tariffs imposed by Trump.
And they want to work with China on common challenges like climate change.
We do not seek conflict, but we welcome stiff competition.
We will always stand up for our principles, our people and our friends, Sullivan said.
It's like, do you know who the Chinese leadership are?
Like, they're a fascist, genocidal regime that's currently creating an empire across the Orient.
Like, you'd say, oh, we welcome stiff competition.
Dude, these are not, like, weak people.
These are people who seem to be ruthless in everything they do.
Like, giving this kind of limp-wristed approach, I mean, you'll see why this doesn't work in a second.
But Blinken said the U.S. will not stop holding China accountable for its actions in places like Hong Kong.
Where Beijing cracked down on democracy and the US did nothing.
Its economic coercion of other countries where the US has done nothing.
Or what the US officials allege is a genocidal campaign against the Uyghur Muslims in China's Xinjiang region where the US has done nothing.
Well, they alleged that it was cultural differences, so...
Where the US has provided cover for the genocide.
But at least, on the plus side, at least we now agree with Mike Pompeo.
You know, they were all like, oh, how dare you?
He called it genocide, and it is.
well i have seen i saw what was it voltaire's ghost made a video about this giving sort of the positive view if we were to take this uh you know try and a bit of a white pill about some of the people biden's picked yeah and some of them um were saying things like oh no we recognize that they're a competitor now we're not going to have this old relationship but what was interesting is they all agreed that essentially they'd woken up under this because of how trump spoke about them and the trump administration spoke about them and like oh we've realized trump was right it was like well okay good yes
the glorious golden god emperor was right about almost everything amazingly and somehow did nothing wrong incredibly like I keep saying this.
Trump's reign over the United States is going to be a golden age and people are going to look back on it in the near future and be like, wow, I can't believe he was doing such a great job.
Anyway, so the Americans said...
Sorry, the Americans said, look, the actions in Hong Kong and places like that threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability.
They're not merely internal matters, after the Chinese told them to butt out of these internal matters.
And it's like, I don't think the Chinese care about the rules-based stability of the world.
Rules set by the American imperialists.
Yeah.
Like, that's their view on this.
Yeah.
Why can't we have rules set by the Chinese imperialists instead?
Which is what their position is.
It's what they're doing.
It's what the Belt and Road Project's about.
It's what all of this is about.
You know, it's creating a kind of counter power to the United States based in China.
So anyway, Yang, the Chinese delegation, warned the United States to back off and then accused it of hypocrisy, saying the United States uses financial and military might to bully other countries.
He also said America has a long-standing history of human rights problems, alleging that black people are being, quote, slaughtered in the United States.
Are you going to take that from a genocidal fascist regime?
A regime that has a social credit system and doesn't let its users use the internet lest they learn about the things that the Chinese regime is doing?
Are you just going to take that, are you?
You absolute cuckolds.
What the hell's wrong with you?
As if China cares about black people.
As if China cares about any of this.
Was there a response, or...?
Not really.
Well, there was, actually.
There was, and it was a really pathetic one, right?
So the US delegation said, such exaggerated diplomatic presentations are often aimed at a domestic audience.
Yes, they're playing a game of subversion, something we don't, which is embarrassing.
The US side intended to outline for the Chinese delegation in private some of the same messages that have consistently been delivered in public.
The Chinese delegation, on the other hand, seems to have arrived intent on grandstanding, focused on public theatrics and dramatics over substance.
Yeah, translation, we got owned.
That's what the translation is there.
They dunked on us.
Jack Posobiec watched the entire thing.
I haven't had time to watch the entire thing, so we'll just go on his reporting, right?
But I trust his opinion on this, because he is a patriot.
He says, the opening remarks in Anchorage were agreed to be two minutes each.
The CCP delegation opened with 20 minutes of blasting Biden's policies.
BLM, division under Biden, has said the US is no longer a world leader.
Blinken and Sullivan had little to no response.
Disaster.
And then, never seen a CCP delegation treat a US delegation like this.
They just openly bashed them to their faces.
Blinking appeared amateurish and way out of his league, completely unprepared.
And the next one, Kim, Putin, and Xi.
Oh yeah, what did Kim Jong-un say about Biden recently?
I thought they'd just been ignoring their phone calls.
No, he called him something like he was insulting him, in the same sort of way he tried to insult Trump.
I know his sister called him a dog that should be put down.
Right, okay, well that's close enough.
But anyway...
How's she wrong?
Kim, Putin and Xi have now all publicly mocked Biden this week.
Xi's delegation to their face.
No one around the world has any respect for him.
He is seen as weak and feckless.
Are you guys just going to allow Biden to be like this?
I mean, you realize that the Chinese have actually, the CCP have come out and told us publicly that they have bought off the Biden administration and the Biden administration is just getting just owned repeatedly in public internationally.
This is embarrassing.
This is deeply embarrassing.
What are they going to argue against as well?
When the Chinese say, oh, you have a history of human rights abuses, you don't treat black people well, you're slaughtering them in the streets.
The Trump administration, as the patriotic liberals, could turn around and be like, nah, that's BS, you bunch of communists.
But the Democrats, what actually can they argue against there?
Because their entire campaign is, yes, that's true, and we're the ones who are going to fix it.
So when the Chinese say, that's your system, they can't announce that or they'll undermine themselves.
I don't know.
They're out of options.
And so the patriotic side in the United States, which at this point is just the Republicans, have been robbed of any kind of political influence because of the last election, the various sub-elections.
And so it's all in the Democrats' hands now.
It's all in the corrupt party that has been paid off by China, according to the Chinese.
What was he?
He was the senior lecturer or professor at some institution.
Senior lecturer on international politics at Beijing University.
Yeah, with loads of Communist Party connections, loads of people from the Communist Party.
Just to give a quick recap, it's not just that he has loads of Communist Party connections.
Di Dongsheng is a Communist Party member, and he was personally selected by Xi Jinping to go on a press tour, essentially, to Washington.
and this is where he gives his story about the two stacks where he was trying to get a book uh shop to host the premiere like opening of the book where xi jinping himself would go down there and sign copies of it whatever try and create like positive press in the united states and the owner was like sorry we're booked that night and so he blackmailed and intimidated him into doing it because the guy wasn't corrupt and wasn't prepared to take the two stacks and so it just intimidated him into taking the booking anyway and so they had to take it and he's like see there we go Everything's sorted.
And it's like, these are horrible, horrible, immoral people.
But I was trying to get to the point that he's definitely high up.
There's no reason to not take his word seriously.
He was personally chosen by Xi Jinping.
And he's on a stage giving a talk to Chinese party member notables, Communist party member notables.
And they just put it up on YouTube because they say, ah, no one's going to notice this.
Well, we noticed.
I'm surprised the Republicans don't use it more because it's like this is the allegation against the Biden campaign and those lot from the Republicans that you're all a bunch of Chinese puppets in regards to these things.
I mean, that's the allegation from the Chinese.
Yeah, but that's the thing.
Don't reference anything the Republicans say.
Just say the Chinese said this.
Yeah, the CCP agents are telling you this explicitly.
They are corrupt, and they've bought the Democratic Party.
They're friends in high places.
How is it that this is just allowed to continue?
Source, Chinese Communist Party.
Yeah.
Source, a Chinese Communist Party professor from the University of Beijing says this, this, this, and this.
Anyway.
Yeah, let's move on from this black pill onto another black pill.
I don't know.
It's kind of like, I told you so, sort of section.
So I've labelled this things that would never happen, and it's just things that we were told would never happen, and then have happened.
So the first thing here, because of course this isn't going to be a spicy section, we're going to start with the rivers of blood speech from Enoch Powell.
And I actually disagree with the point I'm going to raise from Enoch here.
I'm not referring to any of his arguments about immigration or any of his arguments about, what is it, like the one white woman who lived on a street and then that was the only white woman who lived on the street.
Or any of that.
Not interested in that.
What I'm interested in is him talking here about discrimination against the white population of Britain by the non-white population.
So he takes a quote from a man who spoke to him and said, this man said, in this country, in 15 to 20 years time, the black man will have the whip hand over the white man.
This is not the case in my view.
So he references the fact that the discrimination and deprivation in regards to what's being passed is the sense of alarm and resentment lies not with the immigrant population but among those who they have come.
so he's saying that the discrimination in this country will be among um the white population and he hints at the fact that he thinks it will be done by the black population or the non-white population as you'd probably call it these days that's just not true that's just objectively not the case do we have massive discrimination against white people in this country um yes and by the state.
I don't even have to talk about private companies.
I don't care too much about them to make this point.
And we'll go through it in a minute.
But it is not the black man doing this.
It is the white progressives doing this.
And of course, you then have brown progressives and so on and so forth.
Ashlaka probably being the best example of a communist who advocates for this sort of thing.
But she's doing it because she's a communist, not because she has brown skin, in my view.
But I also did want to mention the...
And just to be clear, we're very, very aware of the fact that this is not some universal opinion in non-white minority communities.
Like there are plenty of them, plenty of these communities who are completely against it and they therefore like vote conservative, like the Sikhs and Hindus and Gurkha communities.
And then other communities who are in favor of identity politics who tend to vote for labor, like the Muslim community.
This is not just simply a white or non-white issue.
And even within these communities, there's obviously a great amount of difference of opinion.
But the problem is it's down on political lines.
Are you a conservative, you know, quote unquote, which will describe really as a liberal, like a classical liberal?
Or are you a progressive, which essentially is a socialist?
And the socialists come in all shapes and sizes and so do the classical liberals.
But that's the distinction.
And there is no, like, you know, the progressives see this as like, oh, we're arguing for privileges for non-whites, and you guys are arguing for privileges for whites.
That's not the case.
The liberals are just arguing for no privileges.
Let's have an equal order in which you are treated fairly.
But the socialists are like, no, no, no, we need privileges for non-whites, so the outcomes are the same.
Well, the liberals are literally arguing for MLK's view.
Yeah, that's where we are.
Anyway, but the funny thing is, as I looked at the response to this speech at the time, and I wanted to mention it because I just find it interesting this always gets dropped.
So apparently BBC Panorama did a poll of immigrants in the UK and found that 47% of the immigrant population agreed with strengthening immigration and 30% opposed.
I was like, right.
So after this speech was aired, even the immigrant population were in favour of the sentiment that immigration should be strengthened.
And this is in reference to him talking about 50,000 people a day, but...
Let's quickly touch on that, because I don't see why there's any reason that people who are immigrants should feel some kind of solidarity for people who are potential immigrants.
If I moved to France as an Englishman, Because I happen to have a big love of France or whatever.
And I wanted to experience French culture.
I wanted to integrate French culture.
So I learned French.
I start eating croissants.
I start cheating on my wife.
I start becoming a lazy layabout who does 20 hours a week work and then complains at the government that I don't have enough money.
And I retire at 25 or whatever it is the French do, right?
I would be upset if a bunch of hard-working Germans moved in and they were raising the standard and I was like, oh my god, they're making me look bad.
This isn't very French at all.
I came here to be a lazy layabout, right?
Like, you would be complaining because you're not actually in the place that you wanted to be.
I'd be like, look, I've just fled Germany from the hard-work regime and now I've come to France and now I'm back in Germany.
So it makes total sense that people who have immigrated to a country because of the love of the country would be opposed to mass immigration.
Let's not say all immigration, but just the huge numbers that we're seeing now.
Yeah, I wanted to mention just a few more points about the popularity here, because I just find it amazing that no one ever mentions this.
So apparently the Express and the Star received 50,000 pieces of correspondence about this speech, so postcards and letters, and they said that 95% of them were pro-Enoch, so that's one thing.
And then the Gallup poll decided to do a poll of the entire British public and found that 74% of the public agreed with what Enoch Powell said.
And then there was an election two years after he gave this speech.
Has any politician ever been this popular?
He had an election two years after giving the speech and being kicked out of the cabinet, and he won 64.3% of the vote in his constituency, which is the highest ever he's ever won, and also the highest ever that's ever been achieved in that constituency.
Which constituency was it?
Was it Wolverhampton or whatever it was?
But I find it amazing that everyone drops the idea that this has ever been a popular, like, oh my god, how dare he say these things?
Well, apparently, there were very few people who opposed this, even among the immigrant population, so that's one thing.
But I mentioned that he was saying that the black man will have the whip hand over the white man, and that's the point I want to focus on, the idea that whites would be discriminated against.
And we have examples of this.
So we have a list on LotusEaters.com, which I've made, called UK taxpayer-funded racism.
It's incomplete because there are endless examples of this.
But I want to make the point.
It is not the black man that has this.
It is the white progressive, the...
Brown progressive, the black progressive.
The trans progressive.
Yes.
LGBT progressive.
And we just go through this.
So the first one here is Transport for London.
So that's the people who do tubes and everything.
They're promoting supremacist propaganda to their employees here, like white fragility, things like that.
How to be an anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi.
These people are radical, radical intersectionalists and hate white people.
And then it's not just the transport for London.
I mean, London's a workplace.
How about the Ministry of Defence promoting exactly the same things to their employees within the department?
I mean, that's somewhere where you need critical race theory.
Defence.
Anyway, then the next one is MI5. So MI5 offering summer diversity intelligence internships in which the people who can apply for this position have to be brown-skinned.
Now, this is not because they're looking for operatives to operate in the Middle East or something like this.
Which would make sense?
Which I'd be fine with, in the same way you need to hire an actor to play Anne Boleyn, should probably be of the character of Anne Boleyn, but that's not the case.
Instead, we have them saying, even for a position that doesn't require you to be of any race in particular, we will only accept people who come from brown-skinned backgrounds for reasons.
I mean, I'm sure they'd accept Jews, for example, because they have ethnic minority background, but if you are English, that would not be accepted.
I'm just trying to think of any kind of parallel for this.
Like, can you imagine in, I don't know, Botswana or something, you know, the Botswana government or intelligence services being like, right, okay, we're going to hire, but we're only hiring Chinese people.
If you're not of Chinese origin, we're not going to hire you, fellow Botswanans.
Could you imagine the Zimbabwean government being like, only hire white people for MI5. Yeah.
It's not going to happen.
It's not just the intelligence operations, in case you think this is some kind of undercover thing in which they are trying to hire for the Middle East or something.
No, the Civil Service have also done this.
So this is the Civil Service Summer Diversity Internship Program, in which they give privileged positions to people who come from a diversity background of black, Asian, or minority ethnic.
So if you are white, you have to be disabled to apply for this.
Or I think maybe a woman, I can't remember...
Which is a weird thing to put in the same category.
But if you are non-white, you can apply no problem, even if you're not homosexual or a woman.
Disabled people or women.
That's also the absurdity of these things.
They always put them in the same category.
We'll see that in a minute as well.
So then there's the BBC, which we spoke about a long time ago.
So the BBC advertising internships, except you had to be non-white.
I mean, these are all government institutions or government departments doing these things.
So...
Is Enoch Powell wrong?
Well, he's wrong in the sense that it is the black man holding the whip, because I do not think it is black people having some kind of racial supremacist attitude of, you know, Britain should be a black state and therefore put down the white man.
No, you can see the government, you can see the people who are in it.
It's progressives who don't understand anything, like the people in the Conservative Party who think, oh, we want to be tolerant and diverse and blah blah blah, and don't realise they're falling into a trap of socialist garbage.
If you're a conservative and you ever say the words representation, just quit and join Labour.
Just quit and join Labour.
You are not a conservative.
You do not understand that actually the point of all of these things is not inclusivity, it's exclusivity.
You're looking for merit.
You're looking for people who are good at what they do, not just people who come from a certain kind of background because they have a certain colour skin.
End of story.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
And then the last one here, which is what I just got sent yesterday, is the Welsh Government.
So this is in response to COVID. So the Welsh Government instituted lockdowns that were seemingly much harsher than what was done in England.
And as a result, lots of people have lost their job from their policy of lockdowns.
So they're like, okay, to be nice, we will offer back grants to people to set up small businesses.
And in this, they say that the small business grants will be doled out on certain characteristics.
Yeah, if you're disabled, or brown, or a woman.
Priority in the allocating of funding will be given to those most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Women, disabled people, same category, or people from BAME backgrounds, same category, I guess.
This is so racist!
Like, I just...
I don't...
It's kind of gorsed to be running around screaming, oh, that's racist.
Because, I mean, A, the progressives say, yes, we are racist, and they don't care.
But, like...
I just find that so demeaning.
Like, oh, you're a woman?
Right, put her in the disabled category.
Oh, you're brown?
Right, go with the women in the disabled category.
Having brown skin is basically being disabled.
Okay, Welsh Government, weird flex.
But the point here, if you can get to the next one, which should be the page for this, and scroll down just so we can see the section again where it says that you must be a woman disabled or brown.
You can see it's there.
It's still there.
They're not getting rid of it.
If you're in Wales and you're white...
Or you're in meat.
And you're white, too bad.
You're lower on the list, because you matter less to the Welsh Government, I guess.
The superior straight white males don't get any advantage.
Yeah, too bad.
I'm not the one who thinks they're superior, just quoting the Welsh Government by inference here.
The reason I found out about this was because we have a subscriber who messaged me on Discord and said, look, I actually lost my job because of this BS lockdown policy.
And then I go to apply for a grant to set up a small business.
And I noticed this.
I can't get over it.
I don't care.
Sorry, are you white?
I can't get over how they're just so blatant.
Like just, we don't care about you if you're white or male.
And therefore we're going to give out priority to women and people with brown skin.
I mean, could you imagine the English government or someone doing this and being like, oh, we're going to give out grants to people, free money to people.
But if you're brown, eh, we'll put you at the bottom of the pile.
I mean, what would be the response?
It would be unbelievable.
The mass media would get involved in everything.
But no, there's been no response to this.
I tagged a bunch of people on Twitter to try and get some response out of this.
I'm sure plenty of conservative types who are actually conservative and actual liberals who care about this sort of thing.
We'll care about that.
Have we messaged Kemi Badendock?
I tagged her.
Because she's the person who I think might actually say something about this.
Well, she actually has a duty as well, because, I mean, this is government money, and she is the, what is it, like, vice person for the Equality Department.
I mean, Liz Truss being, I think, the head of it, this should be definitely her remit.
This is illegal.
This breaks the Equality Act 2010.
But just no one gives a toss.
They just openly do this and they don't care.
I can't get over how just plain-faced.
Don't care.
Screw you.
For anyone wondering, basically what you want to do is when you apply for this, just tell them that you're trans.
No.
You don't have to substantiate it.
If you want to sue them...
Probably the advice, this isn't legal advice, but just probably the thing to do would be to make two accounts, make them pretty much identical.
One of them where you are white male and one of them where you're not.
Where you're trans.
And when they give priority to the non-white male, then you can sue them and say, look, I was discriminated against in this application.
I don't know what would stop you.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but I don't know how this can obviously be legal.
It's obvious nonsense.
But this is not the only thing that we were told could never happen, and then happened.
There's other things.
So, you remember Jordan Peterson?
I do.
He's this fringe professor who...
This insane alt-right radical.
Who just started making up lies.
Like, they were trying to pass this perfectly reasonable bill in Canada where they wanted to just defend trans rights, and he just went into a rage and started hating trans people.
Blithering about compelled speech that would never happen.
No speech is ever going to be compelled.
People are going to go to jail for saying things.
Oh, what a bigot.
I hate this man.
Cancel him.
Just some quotes out of this, just to take us back in time.
Bill C-16, currently before Canada's Parliament, prohibits discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act on the basis of gender and gender identity.
It also extends hate speech provisions under Canada's criminal code to transgendered people.
And Peterson saying in response to this, oh wait, sorry, no, this is one of the people who's opposing Peterson saying in response to this, I don't think any legal expert would say an inappropriate pronoun, while not something that respects the human rights of trans people, would ever result in a criminal conviction. while not something that respects the human rights of trans said Kyle Kirkup, a law professor at the University of Ottawa.
Oh really?
Oh really?
That's very interesting, Kyle.
He also specialised in gender identity and sexuality law.
What a shock.
So there's no way he would be lying.
And then there's also a colleague, so Dr.
Peterson's University of Toronto colleague, Dr.
Lee Ayrton, argues that he is being alarmist and indulging in a slippery slope fantasy on the limits of free speech.
So, you know, we're going to do a premium podcast at some point talking about the slippery slope fallacy because I've seen a bunch of memes going around where it's been referenced in conjunction with a bunch of other fallacies.
And there are actually a few things about these fallacies that people probably should know because I'm not even sure if you can really call the slippery slope fallacy a fallacy.
It's just reality.
The overton window shifts.
Well, we'll get into it another time, but I think we can rebut many of the criticisms on this regard.
And for anyone who says slippery slope fallacy, I'm guessing they don't really have a very good understanding of how these things work, but carry on.
Yeah, so this was never going to happen.
No one's ever going to be thrown in jail for misgendering someone.
Don't be stupid.
Yeah, well, guess what?
We can get the next one up.
Someone has been arrested and thrown in jail for misgendering someone.
So this was a father who was arrested for referencing his 14-year-old, I don't know what I meant to do, child, because we live in New World Order.
Devalue that language!
Erase as much information as you can.
We don't need any details about this child.
Child was born female, and the state is compelling me to say that the child is now a man, and he didn't like this and said in court that he was not going to do that and refused to do that.
So it's some quotes out of this.
This is our reporting.
You should read the whole thing.
I'm not going to read the whole thing here.
So Robert Hoogland was found in contempt of court for referring to his biological daughter with the pronouns she, her.
He is the father of a biological female who identifies as a transgender male.
Hoogland surrendered himself to the court when the Attorney General of British Columbia issued a warrant for his arrest.
He is currently jailed.
Hoogland openly opposed his child undergoing so-called gender affirmative medical procedures, stating his view that he wished to protect his child from undergoing irreversible harm.
However, the Canadian medical system, legal system, and the child's mother all agreed to the press ahead with both social and medical transitioning of the 14-year-old child.
So he can go screw himself, I guess.
So the child not only can take these untested drugs, they apparently can consent, they can't consent to anything else, but they can consent to this, and all of the power structures and institutions around are in favour of them doing this, including the child's own mother...
And the father is being treated as a criminal and is currently in jail for merely not even using the right words to refer to his daughter.
He's got a contempt of court charge.
So he also discovered that it wasn't just the legal process or something, it was the school.
So Hoogland later discovered that the school had been showing his daughter, SOGI123, sexual and gender identity materials used in British Columbia, which he claims amount to transgender ideology...
Quote, propaganda videos.
Doubtless.
Doubtless, that is an accurate representation of them as well.
Then, in a 7th grade yearbook, the child was referred to by a different name.
Hoogland found out that the school counsellor changed her name without informing the parents.
Because the child belongs to the state comrade.
Yes.
The school reportedly socially transitioned the child of their own volition.
Oh, I bet.
They consented.
I bet there was no grooming involved here at all.
With the input of controversial psychologist Dr.
Wallace Wong...
Dr Wong has advised parents of children to make fake claims of their children being suicidal to get transgender treatments, stating to an audience that is, quote, up to us as advocates of transgender children to exaggerate to medical professionals.
So literally, it's up for the activists to lie.
To lie to get kids to be able to transition.
Wong runs a children-only gender therapy practice in which he claims proudly that his youngest client is not even yet three years old, and he has over 501 orphans and foster children as clients.
If this claim is true, then that would mean that between 10 and 20% of children in governmental care in British Columbia are classified as needing his gender treatment therapy.
10-20%.
This would also be an increase from 2010, as Josh points out.
Since 2010 to now, it would be a 12,500% increase in the number of children, so from about 5 children to over 500 needing this sort of care.
totally natural and not the result of grooming by an activist at all a progressive activist at all compelled to say that by the state i suppose so there's there's more to this i would recommend going on the low season reading the whole thing i think it's on the trending page right now as well because it's an awful case but it's just something we were told would never happen and jordan peterson has actually seen this so we can get his tweet up um him witnessing it this could never happen said those who called my stance against bill 16 alarmist i read the law and saw that it was, to the contrary, inevitable.
Yeah.
Jordan Peterson totally vindicated.
I don't know what to say.
This is just awful, and I can't believe that no one's going to be charged with this.
No one's going to change their minds.
All the socialists who were lying to us back in the days about Professor Peterson, let's carry on.
Carry on with their jobs.
Never going to apologize.
Never going to say they were wrong.
There's going to be no accountability for all of the ruined lives as well.
That's the thing.
As Robert Hoogland points out, it is harm and it is irreversible.
We've covered this in previous podcasts.
You end up with lack of bone density, infertility, all of these are horrible problems.
So there's one last thing about things that could never happen and have happened.
So this is an archive of a piece from Think Progress.
So a very progressive site, because progress is unstoppable, or whatever the guy, what is the hypocrite?
Oh, you Can't Stop Progress.
Can't Stop Progress.
Yeah.
So this is talking about transgender story time, so Drag Queen Story Hour.
So this is an article about straight pride and whatnot, but they reference in here Drag Queen Story Hour.
So they said, It has been a common tactic among the far right to disrupt Drag Queen Story Hour events like this one.
Drag Queen Story Hour...
Is a national program which aims to capture the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.
Why disavow that?
Jesus Christ.
And if you've ever wondered what Drag Queen Story Hour is, sorry to do this, but let's get the images up.
This is what we're looking at.
So, this sort of thing, in which grown men dress up as...
Satan?
Satan.
I mean, I'm an atheist, but this has deeply satanic undertones, I'm just saying.
A very exaggerated form of woman.
Why are you wearing a mask with horns on it?
Yeah, but you can also see the multiple other examples.
It's always very exaggerated, it's never as a woman, it's some kind of theatre performance.
It's a burlesque caricature of a woman.
And then very interested in doing this in front of children, which is the very suspect thing.
So there's a New York, sorry, a Wall Street Journal piece talking about this.
We can go to the next one, which is this person went to one of these and then reported on what they saw.
And I find amazing that she opens it with, Critics, typically religious organizations have complained about drag queens showing up in tight dresses, teaching tiny tots how to twerk, and encouraging little ones to squirm atop their supine bodies.
Yeah, I mean, I would complain about that too.
I don't think that's got anything to do with religious organisations.
Yeah, I stress.
I am an atheist, and yet I'm like, okay, deus vault.
Degeneracy.
This is not a uniquely religious point.
No.
Anyway, so they continue with some of the bad things, and they say in Houston...
Sorry, I can't get over this.
Encouraging the little ones to squirm atop their supine bodies.
Yeah.
That sounds like pro-pedophilia activism.
Yeah, it does.
But don't worry, it can never happen.
So, in Houston, our participating queen turned out to be a registered sex offender convicted of abusing an eight-year-old.
Ooh.
Worst of all- Every freaking time!
Worst of all, I love this, worst of all, opponents argue the story hour is basically an indoctrination program designed to proselytize very young children against gay marriage.
What?
By pedos?
Not the- You wrote a line above that one of them turned out to be a pedo, and you're like, yeah, but worst of all, it teaches them to be against gay marriage.
You are mad.
Jesus Christ.
So, she then goes on to note that, through the whole thing, that she watches it all, and she notes that no one really knows what the kids are thinking here, because the kids are of such varying age.
Of course not!
They're the ones...
Well, wait.
Jesus Christ, some pedos getting them to squirm atop their supine bodies.
It's like, what...
But to be honest, I'm actually not entirely opposed to the idea that the kids there, in their minds, when they're watching all of this take place, because, I mean, I've seen it with very young kids as well, where they don't even recognize male or female until a certain age as well, just of, like, person.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I know it can happen, but I'm saying to the extent that a grown adult does.
In which case, she makes the point, but why not drop all the propaganda?
Like, because why do the kids want to hear that anyway?
Well, yeah, but I mean, children are actually very responsive to gender from a very young age.
Like, I remember, like, two or three, my son was very understood.
He was a boy, and he understood what was a girl, and he wasn't that thing, you know, and he was...
I've never had to do it because my son's patrolled them himself.
He's like, I'm not wearing pink, that's for girls.
He's patrolling himself.
No, no, and I was just like, based?
Okay, well done, son.
You can have an extra cookie.
LAUGHTER But I'm just saying this for the sake of argument.
So if we accept that the kids are probably kind of just like, get me out of here, I'm bored looking at all this, and they're not really thinking about it.
And she's like, well, why not drop the propaganda?
And then she makes an even better suggestion, which lays out what this is really about.
But I have an even better suggestion.
Leave the little ones with a babysitter and have drag queen story time just for the parents.
Adults these days crave kid stuff.
Colouring books, Legos, cookie dough, and all those mums and dads who are stuck out with their tongues at Frog Songs will likely jump up and down at the chance to be able to sit on the floor, try on jewellery, and relieve kindergarten and virtue signalling.
That should make everyone happy.
A, that sounds like patheticness to me.
I can't stand it.
It sounds like just a regression into weakness.
But if they want to do that, that's fine.
But it gets to the point here that, no, this is actually for the parents.
Like, she notes that the parents seem to be enjoying this more than the kids do, in which case, this isn't about the kids, is it?
It's for the person acting as the drag queen and the parents around them who want a virtue signal about how tolerant they are.
But what they're referring to there is a phenomenon in millennials of being infants, infantilization.
I mean, do you not remember that they would have puppies at universities and coloring books and stuff like this, as if the universities were supposed to be catering for actual children?
Well, that's how they think of students, yes.
Yeah, but the point, and I... I can understand why they're saying all of this, because it is fun to play games with your kids, right?
I love building Lego with my kids and stuff like this, but that's because I'm a father and I'm doing it ostensibly for them.
Not with a group of 30 children you have no relation to, and also you're dressing up as a woman for some reason in the middle of this?
In a very exaggerated, sexualised way?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not a convicted paedophile, so...
So, yeah, but...
What do I know?
There's someone who is.
So we can get the things that never happen.
Judge who headed Drag Queen Storytime Hour sponsor arrested on child porn charges.
Oh, God, I can't believe this happened.
So he's not just expected, he's charged.
So...
This is a guy.
So he's a judge.
He used to be in charge of an organization called Cream City Foundation, in which this organization funded Drag Queen Story Hour Milwaukee.
And that's the connection here.
So the Cream City Foundation was an LGBTQ advocacy group in Wisconsin that advertised Drag Queen Story Hour events that it sponsored.
He was the head.
He was the head of that organization.
Charged on seven counts of child porn.
Minimum sentence of 21 years in prison if he's convicted.
Minimum sentence of the wood chipper.
In an ideal world.
24 hours in a woodchipper, that's...
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
I can't get over how everything you are told will not happen will end up happening.
And again and again, it keeps getting proven right.
Like, will there be discrimination against, let's say, white people in countries who accept tolerance and diversity and all this nonsense?
Well, yeah, it's on the books.
In multiple places.
Will pedos be propagandizing your kids with Drag Queen Star Hour?
Yes, they will!
Yes, they will!
The proof is all around us at this point, I'm afraid.
I mean, there was an example there of one of the queens, and then this guy is a judge who funded these kind of things when he was in charge of Cream City.
Yeah, not a great name for a gay rights organisation, not gonna lie.
I'm just saying, right, it's definitely going to be a case that these kinds of organisations attract these kinds of people, because they see them as a way of getting access to the victims of their preferences.
I mean, that was always the concern.
Like, you see a grown adult dressing up in a sexualising way in front of a bunch of kids...
What's your first thought?
This guy's probably a pedo.
Well, I mean, the first thing is, is this guy sane?
And then, actually, why does this pedo want to be doing this?
I just can't go over people's response to this.
No, this is tolerant diversity.
And you can see the point made by the Wall Street Journal, which is like the parents are all enjoying it on a basis that they can virtue signal about it.
What a bunch of people, man.
It's disgusting.
I'd love to accept pedophilia into my heart in the same way that they accept Jesus into their heart or something.
And that's them being virtuous.
I mean, what a worldview.
And it really, really is about left-wing activism as well, because I just want to be clear, it's not that gay people are pedos, right?
This is not what we're saying.
It's not LGBT, you know, lesbians, gays, queers or transsexuals.
That is not like some direct connection to pedophilia.
What it is, is it's left-wing activism, is it has in its basis a concept of ultimate liberation.
So any amount of constraint is a form of oppression and therefore all of these constraints should be broken down and therefore you combine that with the idea that any rational actor who is able to formulate a left-wing argument is a sort of moral legislator means that you can accept children as being things that can consent, right?
So you combine these two ideas together and you have the desire to stop children from being oppressed and of course children are perfectly capable of Calling out sexism or calling out racism or something, and therefore they're an equal moral legislator to any progressive adult.
You combine these things together and they see children as acceptable targets, basically.
And there's no left-wing organisation that seems to be able to argue against this?
No.
It's left-wing activism that does this.
It is fundamentally.
And it's at a point where I don't see how the Democrats could ever argue against this.
Why are you against Drag Queen Story Hour?
Are you a bigot?
I mean, just...
That's how you end up with that.
And how you end up with speech codes about pronouns and also mass discrimination against white people in the UK on the basis that they're white.
Things that could never happen.
Okay, so moving on from that black pill, let's talk about the decay and degeneration of America's elite class.
I guess we'll kick this off with Elliot Page, the stunning and brave gentleman Who has just transitioned.
Now, I did have the interview with Bolsonaro.
I'm not saying that it's because Ellen Page got told by Bolsonaro that he'd wolf-whistle at her that this has happened.
But I have my suspicions.
But anyway, the important thing is going on to the Time Magazine piece.
So let's talk about that.
Because this is a very, very interesting piece.
It's a fluff piece by Time Magazine talking about how Ellen Page transitioned to become Elliot Page.
And I find this really, really interesting.
So they say, No.
If trans men are men, then we expect you to act like men, and it is not acceptable to just be like, oh, I'm just going to cry on command.
You're not a girl.
You're not a girl.
You're not allowed to just cry.
Show some self-control.
If you want to be a man and you want to be accepted as a man by other men, fellow men, no, you dry your eyes and buck up your ideas.
I don't care if you're five foot nothing.
No blubbing is acceptable.
Pull yourself together.
Next thing.
Increased social acceptance has led to more young people describing themselves as trans.
1.8% of Gen Z compared to 0.2% of boomers, according to a recent Gallup poll.
And this has fueled conservatives who are stoking fears about a transgender craze.
I mean, that's a massive increase.
You go from 0.2 to almost 2%, that's huge.
And that's in, what, 20 years, 30 years, something like that.
What's it going to be in another 30 years?
It's going to be like 5%.
In another 30 years, 10%, if this trend continues.
And this is on top of, of course, all of the other things where you've got activists who are like, yeah, well, you know, we've had a 1200% increase in transgender children in British Columbia.
In 10 years.
Perfectly normal.
Perfectly normal.
From 5 to over 500.
Nothing suspicious about any of this, right?
President Joe Biden has restored the right of transgender military members to serve openly.
No one has a right to serve in the military.
It's a duty sometimes.
It might be a privilege, but you don't have a right to serve in the military.
And in Hollywood, trans people have never had a more meaningful time on screen.
Meanwhile, J.K. Rowling is leveraging her cultural capital to oppose transgender equality in the name of feminism.
That's right, J.K. Rowling is advocating for transgender camps now or something.
And lawmakers are arguing in the halls of Congress over the validity of gender identities.
Sex has become a political footballer in the culture wars, says a professor of political science at Brooklyn College.
Well, yeah, but that's what you get for the left making it a political football.
Like, don't point the finger at other people, right?
But anyway, after...
John, let's just go back to this picture for a second, right?
Do you want to be like that person?
Does that person look happy?
Like, what's with the slouch?
Not to be rude, but there are so many people who transition to being a woman who look like a better woman than this looks like a man.
Oh yeah, as examples of manhood go...
I mean, ladies, are you impressed?
Are you looking at that going, oh, yeah.
I can't wait to date Elliot Page.
Like, God.
Anyway.
So, I just can't get over it.
Like, look at this lanky loser.
Why would I want to?
Who the hell is this?
Go get a job, kid.
You know?
Anyway.
Page says, what I was anticipating was a lot of love and support and a massive amount of hatred and transphobia.
And that's essentially what's happened.
Where?
I'm happy to accept you as a man and then bully you.
That's sort of part of being the man, I guess.
Yeah.
You know, if you want to be accepted as a man, you've got to be accepted to be treated like a man by other men, so stop crying.
Paige's announcement...
I mean it!
Paige's announcement, which made him one of the most famous out of trans people in the world, started trending on Twitter in more than 20 countries.
I wonder how many of those countries are Arabic.
LAUGHTER He gained more than 400,000 new followers on Instagram on that day alone.
You can see how the incentives are going here.
Thousands of articles were published.
Likes and shares reached the millions.
Casting directors reached out to Paige's manager, saying it would be an honour to cast Paige in their next big movie.
So many, many benefits.
But what were the downsides, man?
There must have been some huge downsides.
Well, time, tell us.
Right-wing podcasters readied their rhetoric about women in men's locker rooms.
Oh, no.
Not commentary.
Anything but commentary.
I mean, it's probably a good thing Rush Limbaugh's died, I suppose.
Otherwise, it would be tragic.
But the point is, who cares about women in men's locker rooms?
Apart from women, that is.
Because, I mean, if I was a woman, I wouldn't want to be in a man's locker room.
I've got a men's locker room.
I didn't enjoy that anyway.
Men don't even want to be in men's locker rooms.
Yeah, exactly.
Why the hell do women want to be in men's locker rooms?
But that's not exactly dangerous for the men, is it?
It's not the same as in the males becoming in women's locker rooms.
It's not the same kind of level of potential threat there.
Again, on things that we were told that would never happen.
It's not the same.
So some right-wingers are like, well, it just seems inappropriate.
Okay, fine.
But I'm happy to accept Elliot Page as a man.
Elliot.
In 2014, Page came out as gay, despite the feeling for years that being out was impossible, given his career.
In an emotional speech at the Human Rights Campaign Conference, Page talked about being part of an industry that places crushing standards on actors and viewers alike.
There are pervasive stereotypes about masculinity and femininity that define how we're supposed to act, dress, and speak, and they serve no one.
Well, actually, they serve 98.2% of Zoomers, and more than 99% of every other demographic, because it turns out that most men and women on Earth are interested in starting a family, finding a significant other, and being happy.
It just seems they don't serve a 5'1 actress who has become an actor.
That's the nobody that they serve.
So a very egocentric position.
Also, it doesn't seem to do much for the argument.
There's always this argument that people do these things as an oh-look-at-me kind of thing.
It's like after the legalization of gay marriage and when homosexuality became very normalized within American culture, Paige comes out as gay, and now transgenderism is the new thing, comes out as trans.
I'm not saying it's necessarily like she's lying or anything, but it doesn't help the argument.
I would be more inclined to say that social media response is doing this, right?
If you say, hey, I'm trans, and 400,000 people, on top of the existing large audience that Paige has, jumps on and goes, yeah, we love you for doing this, then you're going to feel a great high.
You're going to be, oh, I'm being love-bombed.
What I'm doing is the right thing.
Well, I'll continue doing the right thing.
Because if all you've got is talk radio going, well, I don't want women in men's locker rooms, you might...
What cares about you?
Millions of people are literally saying, I'm the best thing since sliced bread.
Shut the hell up.
But anyway, right?
Since you've become a man, Elliot, you might want to learn about how to be one.
And the question is, are you still gay?
Because if you were gay when you were a woman, you became a man, and you're still attracted to women, that's straight.
Except you're a trans man.
No.
Trans men are men, right?
So we're going to accept.
We're going to accept Elliot.
We're a very progressive, forward-thinking podcast.
Disavow the drag queen story time stuff, obviously.
But we're happy to accept.
We're not that forward-thinking.
We're not that forward-thinking.
But we...
We accept Elliot Page as a man because we're conservatives.
But the point is, if you're not gay, then you're straight, right?
Trans super straight, yes.
And this is really interesting because in 2018, he found love marrying, and this is the way they put it, he found love marrying choreographer Emma Portner in 2018, who was a lesbian.
He found love with a lesbian.
Yes.
So this man found love with a lesbian, and they got married in 2018.
But the thing is, I guess it didn't occur to Mr.
Page that maybe his lesbian wife was actually interested in girls, which he was at the time, because they separated last summer and divorced at the beginning of this year.
So he's like, hi, I'm a man.
Yeah, but I'm a lesbian.
Yeah, but I'm a man.
Yeah, but I'm into chicks.
Don't worry, I'm not getting the transition.
It's like, it doesn't matter.
Actually, he did.
Did he do the whole thing?
Yeah.
So he's...
We'll get it.
So I guess she wasn't straight.
She's like, well, look, I'm not into dudes.
And he's like, yeah, but I'm a dude now.
So then we've got to split up.
But anyway, he was inspired by such trailblazing icons like Janet Mock and Laverne Cox, who found success in Hollywood while living authentically.
Ah, yes.
There's one thing I think about looking at Mr.
Elliot Page is authenticity.
That's what I think.
I think there's a man's man right there.
Trans writers helped him understand his feelings.
Page saw himself reflected in P. Carl's memoir, Becoming a Man.
Eventually, shame and discomfort gave way to revelation.
I was finally able to embrace being transgender and letting myself fully become who I am.
Which essentially translates into, I'm a manlet.
Sorry, Vicky, are you saying that you're not looking at Mr.
Elliot Page and going, you know what, he's pretty loaded, he's famous, he's a handsome boy, you know?
Bulging with muscles.
Yeah, exactly.
It's everything a woman wants.
Vicky just said, I never thought I'd find a man shorter than me.
Well, I mean, you know...
As a trans person who is white, wealthy, and famous, Page has a unique kind of privilege and an opportunity to advocate for those with less.
Yes, I mean, if there's one thing that you can say about Elliot Page is that he certainly has privilege, but I guess that privilege wasn't enough.
He was like, no, you know what?
I need male privilege.
I may be a rich, famous Hollywood celebrity, but that's not enough privilege for me.
According to the US Trans Survey, large-scale report from 2015, transgender people of colour are more likely to experience unemployment harassment by the police and refuses of medical care.
I mean, let's assume that's true.
So what?
Elliot Page is as pasty as it comes.
I mean, honestly, I'm expecting Elliot Page to turn into some kind of incel radical at some point.
I'm not even joking.
Anyway, nearly half of all black respondents reported being denied equal treatment.
Again, how's that relevant?
Verbally harassed or being physically attacked in the last year.
I wonder who by?
Trans people as a group fare much worse on such stats than the general population.
My privilege has allowed me to have resources to get through and be where I am today.
And of course, I want to use that privilege and the platform in the ways that I can.
So just to be clear, right, this is not something you would recommend for a regular person, for someone who doesn't have the privilege of being a rich, famous Hollywood celebrity.
If you don't have access to the resources to get through and be where he is today, then it's not for you because it's going to be much more difficult, much more tough.
Try not to do it.
But what will this mean for Page's career?
Well, Page has appeared in many projects.
He also faced challenges landing female leads because he didn't fit into Hollywood's narrow mould.
Since Page's Instagram post, his team is seeing more activity than they have in years.
Many of the offers coming in to direct and to produce to act are trans-related, but also there are some dude roles.
So women BTFO'd, male privilege confirmed real, all the incentives are in the pro-trans direction, And I'm sure the dude roles will be proper leading man, manly stuff.
Action movies.
Action movies, yes.
And it won't be anything weird and kooky.
But the funniest thing about this is just the way it's being presented.
If we go to the post I put on Gab, meme magic is real.
It is real.
How?
How has this become...
Like this...
Literally the virgin meme down to the smallest details.
The only thing missing is the headphones and the glasses.
Why would you want to become a loser?
Honestly, why would you want that?
I just don't get it.
But anyway, so you could be an attractive woman or you could be a loser.
And anyway, so this is not like, the reason I focused on this particular one is just because we had so much information from Mr.
Page himself.
But transitioning seems to be something incredibly common in Hollywood.
Now, I haven't got any stats on this because obviously they don't exist, but I would love someone to do some sort of survey or study or something like that on it because it's Everywhere.
I love this thing as well, like in 2014, she was in fear of coming out as gay, and now she's in fear of coming out as trans.
Hollywood!
Hollywood!
Yeah.
What, you think there had been homophobic in 2014 and anti-trans now?
Yeah.
Are we nuts?
Well, exactly.
If we can get to the next one, right, there are loads of these articles, loads of these articles.
Ten celebrities who proudly support their transgender kids, you know, like loads of these sort of articles out there.
Like, Dwayne Wade, who I believe is like an NBA star, has a transgender daughter.
Ooh, okay, well that's coincidental.
Cynthia Nixon, the Sex and the City woman, has also a transgender son.
Oh, what a coincidence.
Charlize Theron, one of her children, is also transgender.
Wow, that's weird, isn't it?
Just all these famous people.
And Cindy Barshop of The Real Housewives of New York City also has a transgender.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, you know, they have a...
I don't know if a son or daughter, to be honest, a boy, a son, sorry, called Shiloh, who is also transgender.
And it goes on and on, like, Jaden Smith, Will Smith, like, loads, loads.
And then you've got, like, celebrity trans families, where you've got, like, various rich families who make up the sort of cultural elite in the United States.
And again, loads of them.
You just go through, and it's all different ones.
It's just insane.
There seems to be this vast over-representation, and my hypothesis on this is, of course, left-wing culture, combined with vast amounts of social media positive feedback and reinforcement, makes this thing trendy, and this is something that they, I think, are not...
It's discouraging among kids who are seeing this in the media that they consume, on their social media feeds, and going, hey, mum, I might be trans.
And what's that?
Look at the people who are becoming trans.
Look at them, right?
They're not the most impressive people out there.
They're not the most impressive people out there.
But it is a way of gaining a lot of attention if your parents are famous and you're always in their shadow and you want something special of your own.
Well, hey, I'm this new special thing that everyone on social media will love.
It's also the thing in trend.
That's the point.
It's the trend.
But anyway, we have an article talking about Hollywood, really, on Loses.com by Luna Solanus, and she makes some great points here, right?
Current Western culture has devolved into being obsessed with sex and sexuality, race and colour, most of which are immutable characteristics, and in the example of sex, we glorify it to the most debaucherous and deviant contexts.
I guess depictions of healthy, stable relationships with some long-term partnership goal in mind are too boring.
Along with shaming and ignoring them, the time to abandon them has fully come.
It started happening already, such as with the creation of our institutions, like the Lotus Eaters and Daily Wire.
If degeneracy is celebrated in the mainstream space and we're hated by the establishment anyway, let us abandon them and create our own.
I think she's right.
I think there's no other option.
And this really is end of empire stuff.
Candace Owens was not wrong when she was like, this is what happens at the end of the empire.
And you can see this in the Roman Empire, obviously, where you get this sort of weird deviancy coming up and becoming famous.
I mean, there was a transgender emperor who got murdered by the very conservative Romans.
At least they were treated like everyone else.
At least you didn't join the 41%ers.
Anyway, let's go.
You make it sound like it's part of the Praetorian Guard.
Exactly.
It's the new core.
Well, it is in Hollywood.
Yeah.
Anyway, let's go.
Hey guys, since men are the minority and paternity fraud is only carried out by women against men, does that make it a hate crime in Scotland?
What did he say?
Since men are the minority and paternity fraud, as in not being their real father, is only carried out by women to men, doesn't that make that the majority oppressing the minority in some form of hate crime?
By sensible logic, yes.
By intersectional logic, no.
Because men are still oppressing them.
God knows how.
Team men.
Just by existing.
Near existence is oppression alone.
Sorry, I didn't mean to have succeeded while you didn't.
I'd love to actually ask that question of a progressive who takes that stance.
It's like, right, so men are a minority, women are a majority, are they not being oppressed?
No, no, still, because men are oppressors.
How many men do I have to kill?
When we have one man left, is he still oppressing all the women?
In which case, I mean, what a man.
Yeah, literally Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yeah.
Alright, let's go to the next one.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
I wanted to make a recommendation for the book club.
One of the books I think you should really read and get the audience to read is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl.
It's a book where Viktor talks about his experiences surviving Auschwitz and how he later turns that into the third school of psychotherapy.
Absolutely fantastic book and it really, really helped me out when I was suffering from severe intrusive thoughts.
So I really, really think that should be in your reading list.
I haven't heard of it, but it can go on the list.
Unfortunately, the reading list at the moment is incredibly long.
We've got loads of books that we're going to get through.
We were going to record the premium podcast this afternoon, but instead something else has come up, so it'll be Monday that we'll record the premium podcast for part two leading up to the Brave New World book club, but it'll be worth it, I promise.
We've got another one from that oil guy.
Can somebody explain to me how Hamza hold my beer long shanks use of claiming to be a Celt as anything less than cultural appropriation?
Presumably next will be Blueface.
Hamza.
No true Scotsman would ever take our freedom.
Okay, that's actually a great comment.
And, yeah, I can't see it as anything else other than cultural appropriation.
Especially as Hamza, there are pictures of him in his, I don't know, McYusuf tartan.
And it's like, okay, this is just getting weird now, Hamza.
Like, you're just freaking me out, dude.
Like, it was an Islamic tartan set up to be Islamic.
It was a bit slight.
I don't know about this.
Yeah.
Not sure.
Yeah.
But, no, I can't say that it's not.
Should we go for the next one?
Hey guys, the sci-fi fantasy genres have been taken over by woke politics and moral relativism.
I feel that I learned better from characters rather than just platitudes.
So I was wondering if you had any sci-fi fantasy recommendations for morally absolutist universes and characters that are honorable and strong, like Stormlight Archive.
If you haven't read it, it's an epic fantasy series where many of the characters Are principled, strong, wonderful role models.
Thanks, guys.
You got any suggestions?
I don't read much fiction these days.
I was typing, sorry.
Well, do you have any suggestions of science fiction or fantasy that have strong role models in it?
I don't want to just be like Heinlein.
I don't read anything that's fantasy or...
Yeah, unfortunately I'm just stuck reading non-fiction.
Yeah, same.
I just read about North Korea every day.
I mean, it's a non-fictional world, but it sure reads like fiction.
What's the weeaboo thing for North Korea?
Well, it's not Weaboo.
They're incredible conservatives.
But to keep it to the point, I'm actually kind of upset because she's given us two questions now that we haven't answered properly.
I remember the first one.
I was thinking about the first one the other day.
Values that make up a woman.
And I was talking to John.
I can't figure this out.
I was thinking stewardship definitely has to be one.
Beauty definitely has to be one, I think.
And then...
What was the other one we came up with?
I think we couldn't come up with a proper word for it.
Yeah, like protection.
Nurturing.
But I don't know what's the right word for that.
Okay, so the...
What do you think of those?
The...
I would address the framing of the question first.
Not to destroy it, but just to clarify it.
So, basically, there are two ways of looking at this.
So, the question is, are you going to look at the sort of form of the woman, in the platonic sense...
Which means you're picking out characteristics and saying, right, the sum of these characteristics makes the woman.
Or are you going to approach it from the Aristotelian perspective where there is an essential characteristic that women have that no one else has, right?
And it's often presented as a dichotomy, but I don't think it is.
I think it's just different layers of what it is to be a woman.
So there are these platonic forms that you would say, you know, like behaviors, attributes...
So women have some body shapes.
They look in a certain way.
They wear makeup or, you know, culturally relative, obviously.
But like in certain cultures, you know, for each culture, you're going to have a template that a woman essentially should look like.
So in an Arabic country, they should cover their hair.
You know, be demure, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
In, you know, like the pre-Roman Celts culture, women are not quite like that.
You know, they're quite the opposite, in fact, and boisterous and, you know, very open about a lot of things.
We have reports of Romans responding to Celtic women and being like, oh my god.
There's this one fantastic one, right, where this Celtic aristocrat woman is taken to Rome and she's at some party or something.
And the Roman woman's like, you're a whore.
You're a disgusting whore.
Something like that.
And she's just like, well, we Celtic women consort and open with the best men, whereas you Roman women allow yourselves to be debauched in secret by the vilest.
And it's just like, oof!
What I put down.
Yeah, oof!
And so, obviously, totally the opposite of the womanly characteristics from the, say, Islamic-Arabic perspective.
But the point is, you still have roles for male and female, right?
And these are sort of the forms of male and female.
But Aristotle would be like, well, the essential characteristic of a woman is, of course, childbearing.
And if, you know, that's the essence of being a woman is that you will be able to, or you should be able to bear children.
And I don't think they're separate either, because obviously the platonic sort of characteristics are built on this biological nature.
And so, you know, the things are all connected.
And so it's culturally relative as to what a woman is like.
Like, on the outside...
There are, like, the fundamental...
Because I remember her question, it was like, well, for men, for example, there's, like, strength or toughness or whatever.
Yeah, and we can list a bunch of these characteristics.
The essential points there would obviously be relating to what is, like, provide and protect.
Like, that's the fundamental role of a man in the sense of, you know, globally, what do they do?
I think you could probably even take out provide from that because I don't think that...
I mean, that is part of the male provision that most cultures are assigned to males.
But I think genuinely it comes down to being a warrior.
I think the essential characteristic of being a man is being violent.
And the essential characteristic of being a woman is giving birth to children.
And then you get things from that.
Yeah, then you get the platonic form, as in the thing that we perceive.
But the Aristotelian view is the action that they do.
It's characteristic and essential to men that they should be capable of violence.
It's characteristic and essential to women that they should be capable of giving birth to children.
I hope that answers the previous question.
I was thinking about this a lot.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Even if there's no one to provide for, you as a man will be expected to be able to do violence.
Like, if you're a single man.
No, no, it's...
People can't hear John, so they're only...
Yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah, I'm arguing with John.
It's something we can discuss another time, John.
But basically, I think it is connected to that.
I think violence is the thing that is the essential behaviour of a man, and the giving birth is the essential behaviour of a woman.
Hopefully in a week's time we have an idea about fantasy.
Yeah, I know, right?
But the thing is, she's asking great questions.
Yeah, yeah, it's good.
And they are very thought-provoking questions.
I mean, there are good characters in fantasy that I can think of.
I mean, Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, you know, just do the right thing.
Samwise Gamgee, actually, I think, is one of those characters that's totally underrated.
Really?
Yeah.
Totally.
He allowed himself to get cucked by Frodo in regards to Gollum.
Sure, but that's because Frodo was his master.
But I don't know, there was a little bit of weakness there I didn't like.
Okay, so Tolkien is setting up a pre-modern view of relations, and a pre-modern view of relations is very hierarchical, right?
And this is why master isn't a derogatory term, or servant isn't a derogatory term.
And most households of means would have servants, right?
And they would have a master-servant relationship.
But it's a lot more of a thicker concept than we understand it now, because we've just reduced it to being oppression, right?
But the point is that Samwise shows bravery, loyalty, courage.
He is a very, very noble man.
I don't want to get too hung up on it.
No, but I think he's right.
I think that's right.
Let's go for the next one.
Hey Carl, I was wondering, do you think that the radical left progressives want armed conflict?
Because you look at everything they're doing, it seems like they're deliberately pushing anyone who doesn't completely agree with them to become radicalized.
We've already been seeing this for a long time on places like Twitter and Facebook, where if you give your unapproved opinions, you'll get banned and suspended.
But I'm thinking we're seeing this in real life now with the China flu vaccine.
Oh, you're not going to be employed if you can't get the vaccine.
You can't travel if you don't get the vaccine.
You don't get to shop if you don't get the vaccine.
It seems like they're deliberately trying to push us into violent conflict.
Well, before we begin, don't get involved in violent conflict, obviously.
We do not encourage violence, even though we've just described it as an essential characteristic of a man.
We encourage incremental change in the realm of politics.
Yes.
Instead of revolution.
Yeah.
Well, I think that any kind of change should be...
By small degree and incremental, regardless of the direction you're going in.
So it doesn't matter where you're trying to go.
I think it's just sensible and does the least damage in the long run.
That's the ideal, anyway.
That's the ideal.
And the thing I think the chap was talking about is the fact that they advocate for radical politics.
And this was the criticism levels against me.
Surefat Otaku did a video where someone on the Chapo Trap House Reddit was like, he's never advocated a single radical policy.
I said, well, that's not...
It's because I'm not a revolutionary.
You got me.
Yeah, checkmate.
I don't want socialist revolution.
I'd like democratic incrementalism, please, if that's okay with the communists, which obviously it's not.
There is probably some truth to the idea that the...
The left is trying to push things into a revolutionary confrontation.
There are radical leftists who do want that.
They're open about this.
They constantly go on about guillotines and uprisings and all of this stuff.
They'd like to get there right now.
Yeah, they're accelerationists and they probably do in some way view pushing the culture to the extreme as a way of facilitating that.
Not all of them, obviously, and I'm not even saying it's a widespread view, but there is definitely an undercurrent in there of that.
We saw this in the Project Veritas leaks from the Bernie Sanders campaign.
Do you remember the Marxist Leninist who was like, I'm a Marxist Leninist and I want revolution now, and if we don't get this, cities burn, which they did, incidentally.
So, you know, that was Bernie Sanders' campaign.
So yeah, there is an element to the left that does seek to do this purely to punish the conservative culture and drive things into the new golden age of communist revolution.
Let's go for the next one.
John?
I got rid of all my social media, I think, between two and three years ago.
And it's been the best thing ever.
Other than YouTube, I still use that.
Do you reckon that we could maybe hear a little bit from Josh with regards to why social media is so bad for us and for society in general?
It'd be nice to have an article about that from him, if he hasn't done one already that I just haven't seen.
Cheers.
Bye.
That's a great question.
Can you message Josh and ask him?
And we'll go to the next one in the meantime.
Oh my god.
Good afternoon, Lotus Eaters.
After much consideration, I have decided to come out as trans Scots.
I've always felt that I wasn't truly assigned the correct country at birth and that I was truly Scots deep down.
And I've come out thanks to the important work done by Hansa Youssef in representing our community.
And I hope that all of you will be able to accept me for who I truly am.
My question for today is, why do so many countries seem to have a left-wing nationalism, particularly Canada, Scotland and New Zealand?
They have an identity built around, we are inclusive, we are diverse, we are better than, for example, Canada.
We are more diverse than America.
We have a healthcare system They have this strange form of left-wing nationalism built on compassion.
What are your thoughts on this?
Okay.
That was brilliant.
Tom, you are doing the Lord's work in these questions, my friend.
But that background?
White!
He is right, though.
It's a good comment.
I mean, you've always been critical of the Celtics of all parliaments.
Well, I was going to start with that, right?
Because...
In the view of the Celtic national parties in Ireland, Wales and Scotland, it's very easy, from their rhetoric, to see how they envisage the world.
We the Celts are the victims of the English, and therefore our socialist nationalism is good and...
Any other kind of socialist nationalism is not good.
And I agree, all socialist nationalism is bad.
Socialism, bad.
But yeah, it's built on victimhood in the Celtic cultures and just patently obvious to see.
When it comes to Australia, Canada and New Zealand, though, it's a good question.
I suppose there is the argument of like, oh, we're the colonizers, and therefore we ought to repent for our sins, and therefore our generation will be on the right side of history, unlike our forefathers who were awful.
That's definitely the case in, yeah, I mean, that's definitely the case in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, actually.
So, I mean, maybe that, but otherwise I don't know how you get to that end.
Sort of self-flagellating, you know, anti-pride.
Sorry for something I never did.
Yeah, yeah, sorry for something someone else did that I benefited from.
Hmm.
That's a good point.
Nicholas says, Biden loses internal bowel syndrome.
I just don't know what to think of it.
Hi, anyway, folks, another week gone by ridiculously fast.
I just want to wish everyone a pleasant weekend.
The weather seems to be nice for now.
Yeah, it's a shame we're not allowed to go anywhere and do anything, isn't it?
But, you know, things are moving really quickly.
It's just me.
Every week seems to fly by.
Some days.
Yeah.
It is going quicker than I think if we didn't have lockdown.
Maybe it's because I just go to bed earlier as well, because what is there to do?
Yeah, what are you going to do?
Mike Pugsley.
How long until Biden steps down and President Kamala Harris takes the reins for all to see?
Well, according to Biden's rhetoric, it's already happened.
President Harris has already assumed office.
Don't know what Joe Biden's even doing there.
Who's this doddering old man?
Why are we talking to him?
Long Talks on the niche says, I'm not sure which is worse.
The possibility of two-stacks Joe cheating his way into office and no one stopping it or cared to side Trump or the media gaslighting was so ubiquitous that record numbers of people were bamboozled into legitimately electing a comatose senior citizen.
If Trump was President Cheeto, then Biden is President Moldy White Stale Bread.
Yes, that's true.
And yeah, it's disturbing, isn't it?
In every poll as well, people are like, do you trust the media?
No, no, I don't trust the media, but I'm voting for Joe Biden.
But he's the candidate the media like.
I like the guy, but you don't trust the media.
And you only know anything about him because of the media.
So why do you have no critical analysis of this whatsoever?
There's no character there whatsoever as well.
No.
I mean, Trump, there's an abundance of character.
Yeah, it's great.
But with Biden, I mean, like you mentioned, just the suit.
I mean, there's nothing there.
That's what I don't get.
Just a hoary old man forgetting what he's supposed to be doing and interrupting himself.
There's not even a wet hole, you know?
At least a wet hole is better.
At least President Cardi B will give us some sexy presidential announcements.
declaring one on rack through interpretive dance sorry i just had a disgusting thought sorry We've got a message signed by President Cardi B. How do you know it's signed by her?
Well, there's a wet stain there.
Still have more questions.
My cousin just rang me a little scared that we won't have the US on side anymore.
I had to inform him that the reason we are upping nuclear funding, that is the reason we are upping the nuke funding.
We, the UK, aren't in as bad a position as everyone makes out.
It's just a shame that our special relationship with the US is being clubbed to death by Biden.
Well, I mean, yes, Biden hates Britain.
And unfortunately, yes, he seems to be the person in control of the United States.
So yes, there appears to be a problem.
But we are well aware that this is not the American patriot view of this special relationship.
We know that our American friends like us and we like them.
Yeah, but the American leftists don't like anyone.
No, the American leftists hate everyone who is looting themselves.
Exactly, exactly.
Which is fair, because, I mean, they're awful.
Yeah, don't worry, folks.
I don't understand the whole upping the nukes thing, though.
I've read a bunch of news reports on it, them saying, oh, we're doing more policy thinking and whatnot.
But I don't actually understand a fundamental argument for why we're increasing it.
We can still nuke any small country off the face of the earth.
Yeah, but China's not a small country.
180 nukes?
Surely we take out enough for them to think maybe not worth declaring war to a position in which we would nuke them.
You're right, we need more nukes.
If you let off 180 nukes in China versus 240, I'm pretty sure the risk you're willing to go for to risk that happening is about the same.
No?
More number gooder.
The line got up, more good.
I don't know why we even have to discuss this, Callum.
You're the one who brought that up.
I don't get it.
I just don't understand why you need an extra 40 nukes.
I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just I don't know the reasoning.
Because you can't build 100 in a year.
Okay.
Well, there's maximum capacity, obviously.
How does the extra 100 help you?
Like, you blow up an extra 100 areas of China, but you've already blown up 180 of all the population centers.
Yeah.
But there are 1.3 billion people in China, Cal.
I don't know how many nukes you need to drop to blow up all of China, but okay, I guess.
Well, look, we just have to be secure.
We'll get to that number.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm sure they've got war game situations planned out.
There are 230 countries.
That's a good point.
Yeah, but I don't think reasonably we're in a...
Okay, maybe.
We are Britain, so maybe we might have to nuke literally everyone.
If it's going to come down to Britain or the world, then we obviously know what side we fall on there, so...
Okay, so yeah, 240 countries.
Makes sense.
Don't test us.
Robbie Cooper says, Trump has such an excellent sense of grandstanding in theatrics, which is central to politics outside of the cosy western bubble.
Yes, that's exactly it.
That's the thing.
They know that they can get away with this with Biden, right?
Because A, they've paid him off and B, he sent like limp-wristed progressive diplomats.
Trump would have been raging, absolutely raging.
You know, social media would have been on fire.
He would have been on every news network going fire and fury like you've never seen before and all this sort of stuff.
It would have been amazing.
Instead, like the Chinese and the Russians are just dunking all over Biden.
It's like, what are you doing?
Well, set up a dialogue in three weeks.
Can we have a Zoom call?
No, I'm too scared.
You're too scared of a Zoom call.
You're scared of a Zoom call with Putin.
Weak.
Imagine the super chats.
Yeah, they'd make so much money.
Millions of people watching and sending their messages.
Dennis says, It seems to me the DNC is trying to unsuccessfully construct a strong leader image for Biden.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Since whatever bad orange man needs to be reverted back strategy doesn't seem to work for them.
It's interesting that Russia is trying to set up direct trade routes with China now, so it seems like too much of a coincidence that the two countries Biden tried flexing on.
Yeah, I find this really insufferable.
We should have definitely westernized Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
I know they tried, but they should have tried harder.
Mike Pugsley.
I always remember growing up in the 80s, learning about McCarthyism era in America, thinking how fascist it appeared and how great it was that they stopped it.
Yeah, communist propaganda is amazing.
Very effective.
Nah, no.
I was going to say something about cat.
Do you think that the guilt of that era has just left the door open to allow communist ideas to come in just under a different name?
Not even a different name, is it?
Lucas says, corporate needs you to tell the difference between these two pictures.
Shows a picture of a man with no limbs and the second picture of a woman.
They're the same picture.
The Welsh government.
Yeah.
I would make that meme.
Yeah.
Core Wizard.
As Callum read the as young as three years old bit, I made exactly the same sound as Carl.
Will says, Callum, it's not just the progressives that are benefiting from these hiring policies, though.
The progressives are just the kingmakers who are putting the whip into the hand of the black man.
They have secured their own position and are now pulling up the ladder behind them so no fellow white people can enjoy the privilege they do is the ultimate virtue signal.
Not true.
That's not really true.
Again, what they're doing, again, it's not about the black and the white or the Asian or whatever.
What it is is about political affiliation.
Conservatives will not be pulled up into this.
What's the candidate for London, the London mayor candidate?
For which party?
For conservatives.
Sean Bailey.
What media coverage does he get?
What attention does he get?
He's a black conservative candidate.
He's like, this is all cancer.
And he never gets any coverage at all for the conservative party.
Like the current ruling party.
And you never see him on TV. You never see articles about him.
At least in a vaguely neutral way.
And it's always, whenever he says something like, well, if we give people UBI, they're just going to spend it on drugs.
I mean, where's the lie?
But like, they're like, oh, isn't he a bad man?
It's like, So it's not the fact that he's black.
Okay, journalist.
What are you going to spend that money on?
Yeah, alright.
You've got some coke on your lips still, journalist.
But anyway, the point is not, unfortunately, about race.
Not unfortunately, but fortunately, in fact.
But the point is entirely about ideology.
And Sean Baby's a great example.
I couldn't even remember his name.
There's an interesting point being brought up by Douglas Murray where he said that the evidence seems to suggest that of the affirmative action programs, who it seems to most benefit are rich people from black-skinned backgrounds.
So they have brown skin, but it's all the rich, so they're just getting the benefit of this.
Like, that's a bug, though?
I was like, no, that's by design.
Yeah, that's a feature.
You want the activists, kind of people with power and can help you out there, and who are also communists.
And who are directly invested in being communists.
Mm-hmm.
Long Talks on the Nietzsche says, I remember when the term slippery slope was only a fallacy, not a four-year projection of government administration.
Are we still pretending this isn't all Chinese Communist subversion of the West via psychological warfare?
I'm sure there are some people who are pretending that.
We're not.
Robbie Cooper says, what's your take on the pantomime dame as traditional drag character much loved by families in the UK for many years?
Well, I mean, I'm fine with it, to be honest.
I always thought that was kind of just a laugh, right?
Because it's a guy who's obviously a guy wearing a dress and ridiculous makeup making jokes on a stage and everyone laughs.
So it was, you know, kind of just a...
It was just a joke that you took your kids to a pantomime.
So everyone's in an audience, no one's writhing atop their supine bodies, and the drag queen...
The guy in the pantomime was probably straight, probably just a normal guy.
Usually an army soldier.
Usually an army soldier.
Like, this was, like, just done for laughs.
It wasn't about trying to convert children to being gay or transgender.
But, like, the joke within the army is always, like, you know, it's a manly man position, so then you take this manly man and dress him up like a woman.
Oh, yeah.
How stupid.
Yeah.
And that's the joke in the pantomime.
But you've got to be ultra-manly to be able to do it.
Yeah, exactly.
You need the guy who's, like, literally built like a tank.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And then he's in this short dress.
Yeah.
And yeah, yeah, gingham dress, yeah.
But that's the point, it's not, like, it's just, that was obviously for humour, but this drag queen story out of stuff is obviously for grooming.
And then what, the fundamental point made by the person in the Wall Street Journal, they were like, not just have it for the adults, what's wrong with that?
And it's like, you know, because that's not what it's about.
Exactly.
Then why do they want the kids there?
Exactly.
Don't need the kids there.
Bart says, yes, drag is about mocking heteronormativity.
A good drag act is aware, acerbic, insightful, and funny.
It's a theatre.
Yeah.
Drag appears everywhere.
It's transcultural and trans-temporal, arising spontaneously where men who have sex with men gather.
It isn't for kids, and frankly, it isn't for straights either.
You don't get the jokes.
I don't agree that it's for gays.
I don't agree.
I think this is a long-running tradition.
At least in Britain.
I know it's not so much in the US. Yeah.
And it is jokes, it is humour, and it's playing on the obvious caricature of what's happening.
It's definitely not for children, I agree with that, Bill.
Well, even then, last year, Christmas pantomime, there's a big guy in a dress pretending to be a woman, and it's obviously funny.
Yeah, but it's like you and your kids, so it's all the parents and the kids having a joke, right?
It's not, here's something fun and join in, kids.
No, it's not come and writhe on my supine body.
If you describe anything with a kid like that, I buy a new woodchipper.
You've seen the twerking video where they're teaching kids how to twerk and it's just like, why are you doing this?
Yeah, it's disgusting.
Ben says, all of these medical professionals, activists, and pro-trans parents who are forcing their children to go down the path of transitioning seem to be undertaking Munchausen by proxy with just extra steps.
Yes, yes they do.
Google Munchausen by proxy if you want an explanation of what it is.
I'm not going to go into it now because we don't have time.
But Gadsad, in fact, and we have a great premium interview with Gadsad.
I think he's the person who popularized this idea that actually, look at what's happening here.
And I think he's right.
I think he's right.
It's a way for women to keep children sick and make them feel more attended.
But yeah, we have a fantastic interview with Gad, and he's an absolute pleasure, and he's very insightful.
Cynthia Poole says, I really feel for the father losing the daughter through trans activism.
I find it interesting that the mother is supportive and wonder whether she really wanted a son.
I have read examples of people who transitioned, subsequently realized that the parent had wanted the child of the opposite sex.
That's very interesting.
We didn't have enough information about the mother to make that kind of judgment or anything, but I can imagine that that's something that happens, which is sad.
Callius says, See, something tells me I can't call...
Something tells me that I can't call the now Elliot Page a manlet for being five foot and having narrow shoulders.
No, I think we can.
I think that's gender confirmation.
In fact, that's social gender confirmation.
Treat her like a man.
Treat him like a man.
We pledge on this podcast to treat Elliot Page exactly as the manlet that he is.
Lars Peter Simonson says, does Elliot Page like women?
That means he's converted from being gay to being straight.
That's correct.
Cameron says, when they say when Paige came out as gay, that isn't a dead sexuality-ing?
When they say Paige came out as gay, isn't that dead sexuality-ing?
As in dead naming.
Shouldn't it be that he came out as straight in 2014 by admitting that he was attracted to women when he's cancelled the bigot who wrote this article?
Yeah, the problem is time, and it flows in one direction.
and at the time Elliot Page hadn't admitted that he was a man and so how could people know?
What were they going to do?
Misgender him?
So her wife is straight now, got sick of that wap Good point Kelly One star review Yeah Oh man.
That's really funny.
Long talks from the niche.
Is it more or less progressive to come out as lesbian, but then realise you're trans but straight?
I don't know.
The progressive stack has no protocol for how to resolve this conflict.
I don't know.
I mean, how much of a bigot was Elliot Page's wife when she found out that he was a man?
I mean, how intolerant is that?
Because, I mean, this is the thing with the super straight stuff.
You can't deny having sex with people on the basis that they're the opposite sex or they've got the wrong genitals.
So, I mean, didn't Elliot come out and go, well, hang on a second.
Do you not accept my masculine vagina as being legitimately male?
How dare you?
Sure, Elliot, says Joseph.
Be a man.
Eat keto.
Work out.
Get a job on the pipeline.
Sign up to the draft.
Be responsible for the family you can't have.
Don't cry.
Man up.
Welcome to the dark side.
You'll only get steeper from here.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Now you're going to have to go play sports as well.
Come on.
Drew Doomhand says, so far, Elliot Page is going down the Mr.
Garrison route in the opposite direction.
That's great.
In a few years, he'll detransition after a few years, run for president.
I do look forward to that.
All right, one more, and then we're going to go.
