Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 29th of July 2021.
I'm joined by Carl.
Good afternoon.
And today we're going to be talking about the Pfizer leaks, also the cult of inclusivity, and how TikTok Gen Zers are deciding to explain everything.
And are totally going to get everything right, aren't they?
It's going to be fun.
I wanted to end today on a fun segment.
Anyway, some things to mention first, in case you are not aware of the other content we're producing.
So first thing here is the progressive skin suit, which I wanted to give an extra special mention to because I thought it was a good summation of the problem of woke remakes and why they are disturbing to even look at.
Whenever I present Callum with one of these scripts I've written, he's always like, it's alright.
It's alright.
Thanks, Callum.
Yeah, I see the end product and maybe it's good.
Anyway, also the new article from Rory in which he reveals that the CCP are apparently hunting BBC journos.
We disavow?
I struggle to disavow, but I will disavow.
This is about the floods.
Apparently the BBC journalists are making life of the floods and the CCP obviously don't like that.
Also, Hugo's new article on tribalism and the decisions of which tribe will you join.
It's talking about essentially the political compass and why it is pretty much designed to funnel us into a narrow binary view of the world as in you are either that or you are the other thing and there is nothing else.
Also, the last thing could be the Scythians, is that how you say it?
Scythians, yes.
Yeah, yeah, this was the latest epochs of the latest season, so I just want to promote again, because I really enjoyed doing the epoch stuff, and this was really good fun, because the Scythians are like the horse nomads, the horse lords of Asia, back in the sort of times of Herodotus.
And we got lots of really good information on them, and they're really fascinating.
In fact, one of the, we were talking about female leaders, just before we start, and you were sceptical of their war-like abilities.
And it turns out, no, they can...
Yeah, well, I mean, you've got one called Tomris, who is the leader of a tribe called the Masagati or something, who ended up beheading a Persian emperor after he killed her sons.
And she was like, right, that's it.
You're done for now, mate.
And yeah, we just go through a bunch of this stuff.
It's really good fun.
And yeah, I just love the history content.
That's all.
Right, so I hear the screen issue is fixed, so right, let's begin.
Now, so we're going to talk about the vaccines, especially with Pfizer, given the recent Pfizer leaks that have been all over Twitter and promptly suppressed.
Now, because of YouTube's editorial policies, we probably won't put this segment up on YouTube.
So you'll get to see me talking about why we're not going to put this segment on YouTube, because even though YouTube did edit their editorial policies recently, say it wasn't...
Certain drugs are now allowed to be said that they could do something, but you can't make categorical claims.
Yes.
Obviously, we're not going to make categorical claims about the effectiveness of drugs because we're not doctors.
Don't take medical advice from us.
We're just going to be talking about things that we have found that we think that you should know about.
But even though that may be the case, we don't really trust YouTube's censors to be kind to us on the subject.
So this is about all you're going to get on YouTube.
We'll leave a link in the description.
If you'd like to follow that, you'll be able to watch the full segment and full podcast on lotusseaters.com.
Anyway, so for those people who are not on YouTube, there's something of a racket, I think, going on with the vaccines, particularly from Pfizer, because of the leakage of an Albanian contract, government contract with Pfizer.
It's really, really interesting.
And I tell you what, no one would ever sign a contract like this in Private life.
But anyway, beginning, like, let's just begin with the kind of atmosphere that's surrounding the vaccines at the moment, because I'm sure you've noticed that despite, like, 90% of this country being vaccinated and huge amounts of America and Israel and all of these other First World countries that have been vaccinated, there's still a massive push to get everyone vaccinated.
And I don't really know why, because young people are just not at risk from COVID. The risk is so low, it's questionable about whether it's worthwhile.
Yeah, I mean, it's less than 1%.
It's like, you know, if you're rounding off, it would be 0%.
So it's bizarre that it's now, oh, children have to have the vaccine, children have to have the vaccine.
It's like, No, they don't, really.
And there are other effects that come from these vaccines, because, as Pfizer admits, they're currently in testing phases.
But anyway, so this is the sort of state of hysteria.
I think Piers Morgan, at any given point, if you want to know what the public hysteria is like, just look at Piers Morgan's tweets and you'll see it.
For those who refuse to be vaccinated with no medical reason not to, should be refused NHS care if they then catch COVID. I'm hearing of anti-vaxxers using up ICU beds in London at the vast expense of the taxpayer.
Let them pay for their own stupidity and selfishness.
What a statement.
They pay for the NHS. Yeah, I was going to say, they are taxpayers.
Dumbass.
Like, it doesn't matter whether they're pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine.
This very much reminds me of the, if you're racist, the NHS will just let you die.
Yeah.
It came out a few years ago.
Yeah, don't waste your taxpayer money.
They are taxpayers.
We have no choice.
I would love to not have to pay for the NHS, but I don't have a choice on that, Piers.
So, never mind.
Also, you could extend that to be a free market argument.
Well, therefore we should have private insurance, shouldn't we?
And if you don't want to get it and you'd be stupid, your fault.
Yeah, exactly.
And base peers.
Anyway, moving on.
So you had New York Mayor Bill de Blasio coming out and he gave a statement that is just staggering.
He was giving a press conference where he said, we've got to shake people at this point and say, come on now.
We tried voluntary.
We could not have been more kind and compassionate as a country.
Free testing, incentives, warm, friendly embrace.
The voluntary phase is over.
That's terrifying, isn't it?
I mean, you may remember Bill de Blasio was there trying to advertise junk food with your vaccines.
If you had got a vaccine, you got a free McDonald's or something like that.
Shake Shack, I think it was.
Shake Shack, sorry.
And he was sat there eating French fries as if the government should be endorsing you eating junk food or something.
That's not very responsible.
Even though it's the most likely thing that seems to kill you from COVID is being overweight.
Yeah, well, yeah, absolutely.
And the average age of death, of course, being 82, makes you wonder why they're so bothered about children having the vaccine since all of the old people have been vaccinated.
Yeah.
But this is the point, isn't it?
If the voluntary phase is over, then that means the involuntary phase has begun.
And this isn't just in America.
This seems to be everywhere, absolutely everywhere, where the governments are going mad about this.
For example, the French Parliament has approved a law requiring COVID passports for restaurants starting in August.
There have been, of course, mass protests about this, but it doesn't seem to have affected anything.
The law requires all workers in the healthcare sector to start getting vaccinated or risk suspension.
Requires a health pass to enter restaurants, trains, planes and other public venues.
Initially applies to all adults but will apply to everyone 12 and older starting on September 30th.
And of course you might remember Boris Johnson said that some of the luxuries of life will be dependent on vaccination status as well.
So an actual medical apartheid is being created across the Western world.
The Irish government has apparently approved vaccinating 12 to 15-year-olds.
We can get to the next one, John.
For some reason?
12-year-olds.
The people who are literally at least risk.
Why not babies?
Why not newborns?
I don't know.
There's no particular reason not to, it seems.
It's not about the risk of death and what is the limiting factor?
No.
And the UK is obviously going to do the same, because why wouldn't we?
But only the vulnerable ones for now.
Until they've decided all the vulnerable ones have been vaccinated, and now everyone else has to get it, for some reason.
Or they could just ignore the government advice, couldn't they?
I suppose they could.
Which is what councils are in fact doing, isn't it?
The government said to them, only do the ones that are at risk, and the local councils have just been like, nah, we'll just do all of them, even though they're not meant to.
And even though they're not at risk.
Right.
Brilliant.
What's the next one you've got here as well?
Yeah, so the last thing here is just the fact that it's also pointless because, of course, you want to introduce the COVID pass, but children can't sign up for that because they're kids.
So they can't prove that they've been vaccinated?
No.
Okay.
So they're all things pointless anyway.
Very well thought out by the British government as usual.
Anyway, so if it's just governments doing it, somehow that's not that bad.
I mean, I don't know who would make that kind of argument, but there are bound to be people who are going to be like, well, it's just the government or something like that.
But no, it's also going to be...
I know, but someone's going to have that position on Twitter.
So, of course, no, it's not just that.
It's everything else.
Google is going to have mandatory vaccines for employees to return to their company offices.
Netflix is going to do the same.
Facebook is also going to do the same.
And so this keeps going.
The Postal Workers Union in America has apparently opposed this, which it's nice to see someone standing up for your right to choose not to have something injected into your body against your will.
I assume this union will be disavowed as a member of the far right within the next week.
Yeah, presumably disbanded shortly.
And Biden is planning to mandate federal workers all be vaccinated or face just endless repeated testing for COVID. So we'll harass you until you do it.
Yes.
So it'll just be easier for you to do it.
Israelis are down to getting their third shot of the vaccine now.
Because two shots isn't enough.
Those aged over 60, you're going to get a third shot.
And I imagine next year you'll get your fourth and your fifth, and this will go on forever.
Really makes you wonder why they're doing it.
And just to be clear, it's not that there are no risks to these vaccines either.
There was one recent example of a woman who had to have both of her legs and all of her fingers amputated.
If you can see the picture of her.
There we go.
Because of blood clots caused by the vaccine.
So this is the irritating thing because, of course, this happens with all drugs.
There are side effects.
And what I hate about all this is the narrative of you cannot mention there are side effects.
Like, no, that discredits your position as being pro-vaccine, you idiots.
Absolutely.
You need to be able to identify there's this risk of percentage and be honest with people.
Because if you're not honest with them, then they distrust you.
Yes, because you're lying.
And that's exactly what not trusting someone is about.
And, I mean, there have been other people who have died of this.
I think two BBC presenters died.
There have been...
I personally...
I mean, your mum had a problem with her arm after the vaccine, didn't she?
She's not getting the second one.
Unsurprisingly.
I mean, I wouldn't either if I'd had problems with it.
Because at the end of the day, you know, simply like random carpet bombing everyone saying, well, the percentage is very low.
Well, okay, but in your particular case, the percentage might be very high.
But also, what is the percentage?
Well, that's the question.
We don't know.
Buy any drug in the UK and you'll get one in 10,000 get these symptoms, one in 1,000 get these symptoms.
Not on this, apparently.
We don't know.
So anyway, the CDC, the Centre for Disease Control in America, has come out with bizarre statements advising vaccinated people to be tested if they come into contact with someone they think is infected with COVID, even without symptoms.
So what good is the vaccine if the CDC are saying, well, look, you still need to get tested?
Of course, this has...
I suppose it's to say so you don't spread it, but then no one's going for zero COVID. It's not happening.
Well, that would be ridiculous.
I mean, Boris did say, look, we're going to have to learn to live with this, because of course we are.
Like every other disease that is not polio.
Yes.
Or the plague.
Anyway, Robbie Starbuck on Twitter found an article by USA Today that was very interesting.
That indicated in their first opening paragraph that vaccinated people have higher levels of the virus in them and can infect other people, which would mean a new surge may be caused by them despite all the fear-mongering about people who chose not to get jabbed.
And the thing is, we can go to the next one.
He posted an update to this because USA Today, after he posted that, just edited the article, removing that section entirely and replacing it with something that didn't have anything to do with the original subject.
And they didn't note the change.
Well, that's just dishonest.
Yes, it's just openly dishonest.
And so, yeah, very, very interesting.
And of course, you've probably seen articles reporting that actually now most of the people who are in hospital with COVID have been double jabbed.
Because that's what happens when you double jab most of the population.
If there's still a problem, well, where else is it going to be?
But anyway, so this was a very interesting article on the Wall Street Journal.
Why is the FDA, the Federal Drug Administration, something like that, attacking ivermectin?
Now, ivermectin is not a new drug, and it's...
It's not been, like, widely used.
It's used everywhere for lots of very interesting things.
And so I'm just going to read a bit from this article.
This is fascinating.
And it's fascinating that it's the Wall Street Journal doing it as well.
Earlier this year, the agency put out a special warning that you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.
Their statement included words and phrases such as serious harm, hospitalized, dangerous, very dangerous, seizures, coma, and even death, and highly toxic.
Any reader would think that the FDA is warning against poison pills.
In fact, the drug is FDA-approved as a safe and effective antiparasitic.
Ivermectin is on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines.
Merck, which is the company that created it, has donated 4 billion doses to prevent river blindness and other diseases in Africa and other places where parasites are common.
So all over Africa and Asia, these drugs are being used.
A group of 10 doctors who called themselves Frontline COVID Critical Care Alliance said that ivermectin is one of the safest, low-cost and widely available drugs in the history of medicine.
One 2020 article in the Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications looked at what happened after the drug was given to family members of confirmed COVID-19 patients.
Less than 8% became infected versus 58.4% of those untreated. Among 200 healthcare workers and others at high risk of exposure, only 2% of those given ivermectin developed COVID-19, but 10% of the control group did. I'm not a scientist.
I don't know what these numbers mean.
I'm just saying, you know, don't de-platform us for mentioning that actually there are studies that suggest this might be useful.
That's also one of these corporate outlets the Wall Street Journal is open to say.
Yeah, that was the surprising thing.
Like the lab leak theory where it wasn't around until it was.
Yeah, exactly.
Despite the FDA's claims, ivermectin is safe at approved doses, which has been well tested.
Out of 4 billion doses administered since 1998, there have only been 28 cases of serious neurological adverse events.
So, 28 out of 4 billion.
Seems pretty low risk.
Seems pretty low risk.
According to an article published this year by the American Journal of Therapeutics, the same study found that ivermectin has been used safely in pregnant women, children and infants.
And I assume that this is one of the reasons why Indian state of Goa is mandating ivermectin to all adults.
The Health Minister of Goa, I can't pronounce that name, said Monday that people would be given 12 milligrams of ibmectin for a period of five days as a prophylaxis to protect against COVID-19.
Reign claimed that the governor claimed the state's government's decision was based on studies by expert panels in the UK, Italy, Spain and Japan, which found statistically significant reductions in mortality and recovery time in patients with COVID-19.
The World Health Organization chief scientist Dr...
Another Indian name I can't pronounce, warned that the global health body recommends against the use of ivermectin for COVID-19, except in clinical trials.
But the studies seem to be in the side of ivermectin, and we know it's not a dangerous drug.
It might not be conclusive.
There might be one that shows this, and then further evidence will show no.
But I find it strange that if it's got such a low chance of negative side effects, why not just be like, screw it?
Yeah, this is literally, you know, going to do nothing to you.
I mean, isn't that what we're doing with the vaccines, though?
Like, all of the procedures that are in place for, you know, all the checks, we're saying, we don't have time for that, therefore we're just going to go for it, and we hope that it's not a significant amount.
But, I mean, this has been around longer than that, so it's a problem.
And this is on the World Health Organization's list of approved necessary drugs.
So it's like, right, okay, but not for COVID, for some reason.
And it's like, it's not a dangerous drug, it seems to be well tested, and so why is it being suppressed?
Right.
You say well-tested, even if it's just slightly tested and could later be proved to have been nonsense.
It's just the case of, well, why not?
Well, I agree.
Like, screw it, even if it does nothing, if it's a placebo.
Yeah, yeah, no, I completely agree.
But it seems that it actually might have an effect from the studies that they've done.
And it's not dangerous.
So even if it does nothing, you've lost nothing, basically.
And it's very, very cheap.
And so the question is, why is this being suppressed?
Well, it could be something to do with Pfizer making literally $33 billion last year in vaccine sales.
Up from 26 billion the previous year.
And it says a third dose of its COVID-19 shots strongly boosts protection against the Delta variant.
The Delta variant with symptoms of a runny nose and headache.
Possible sore throat.
The stock's up 5% this week.
Almost 6%.
There we go.
I should have invested.
We should have invested.
Stock's up 5%.
This is not financial advice.
And they're raking in literally almost 10 billion more profit and want you to get more of their shots.
It's about the money.
It's about the money.
I'm telling you it's about the goddamn money.
What's the vaccinate kids about?
It's about the money.
Vaccinating the elderly, you could say it's about the chance of death.
Absolutely.
The 12-year-olds?
Even down to 40, 50-year-olds, you could say, well, you've got a 3% chance or something.
It's like, yeah, maybe, and yeah, okay, maybe we could extend it to that.
But when you've got children with literally a 0.001 chance of death, no.
This is about money.
This is about Pfizer getting paid.
This is about governments signing contracts with Pfizer to make sure that they get paid at all costs.
Now, this comes from Albania, the leaked contract that the governments have been signing with Pfizer, and it's staggering.
You would never sign this contract in private life.
So I haven't read the contract itself, but I've been going through the threads on Twitter of people who have done so and are tweaking out screenshots of it.
And so I'm just going to cover some of the stuff that they've been saying.
So the agreement not only covers manufacturing of COVID vaccines and its mutations, but for also any device, technology, or product used in the administration or to enhance the use of such vaccine.
So everything surrounding the vaccines, the supply chain for the vaccines, Pfizer's getting paid for.
If you're wondering why ivermectin was suppressed, well, it's because the agreement the countries had with Pfizer does not allow them to escape their contract, which states that even if a drug will be found to treat COVID-19, the contract cannot be voided.
So even if COVID disappears tomorrow, you still have to pay for that contract.
I think it makes good business sense.
For Pfizer.
For Pfizer it does, yeah.
But if you're the Albanian government, or a taxpayer, why would you want this to be signed?
Also, here's another quote from it.
Pfizer shall have no liability for any failure to deliver doses in accordance with estimated delivery dates, nor shall any such failure give the purchaser any right to cancel orders for any quantity of product.
Even if they don't deliver it, you can't cancel this contract or the orders you've made with us.
So we can literally take your money and sit back and go, yeah, it's just delayed.
It's delayed two years.
And you just have no...
It can be delayed 50 years.
And you've got no recourse according to this contract.
That is staggering.
Did the Albanians leak this because they read it and were like, what is this, crap?
Presumably.
Who knows?
And no one else has?
I guess not.
Pfizer shall decide on necessary adjustments to the number of contracted doses and delivery schedule due to the purchaser based on principles to be determined by Pfizer and the purchaser shall be deemed to agree to any revision.
So, we can change this contract according to whatever principles we like, anytime we like, and we don't even have to tell you what that will be in advance.
You'll just assume to have agreed with it for signing this contract.
I mean, no one would ever sign a contract like this in private life.
The purchaser hereby waives all rights and remedies that it may have at law, inequity or otherwise arising from or relating to any failure by Pfizer to deliver the contracted doses in the course of the delivery schedule.
So you don't have a legal recourse.
You've signed that away.
Amazing.
Under no circumstances will Pfizer be subject or liable for any late delivery penalties.
Pfizer will not, in any circumstances, accept any returns of the product or any dose.
No product returns may take place under any circumstances.
So you're not getting your money back.
We might not deliver it, and if it's rubbish and doesn't work, too bad.
You can't send it back.
It's the Bethesda solution.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
And so this is about $12 a dosage for about 250,000 units, which Pfizer is charging $19, $50 per dose.
So all the taxpayers got screwed.
Anyway, about payment, no country has the right to withhold, offset, recoup, or debit any amounts owed to Pfizer, whether this is under the agreement or otherwise, against any other amount owed or due to be owed by Pfizer or a Pfizer affiliate.
You're never getting any money out of them.
I kind of respect this.
It's like the king of capitalists, the Ancapistan man who just is like, any country I'm dealing with, you have no rights.
I'm bigger than you.
Yeah, and you are in a dire crisis, and so I'm going to literally extort you.
It's obviously evil, but that's something that...
It's so gloriously evil that it's actually kind of hard to be angry about, isn't it?
It's like, look, okay, so what's happening?
Well, there's a worldwide pandemic.
What are you here for?
Well, we've developed a vaccine that we're pretty sure works, although it hasn't been tested properly yet, and you need it.
So, cough up.
It's literally, there's a South Park episode in which Apple do this, and they're just like, yeah, in terms of conditions, we can do whatever we want to do.
And, like, they turn Kyle into a human center pad.
Yes, well, that's...
I love the idea they put in here, yeah, we get to have sex with your wife if you want the vaccine, and you have no complaints.
Practically.
Why not?
So, the purchaser acknowledges the long-term effects and efficacy of the vaccine are not currently known, and there may be adverse side effects of the vaccine that are not currently known.
This is experimental.
Pfizer know that it's experimental.
They wrote it into their contract that we don't know whether this will work and we don't know what the long-term effects will be.
And you're not getting your money back!
And we might not even deliver the product!
And you have no legal recourse.
Sign here, please.
This is a joke.
What if they just put water in there and then delivered a bunch of vials of water?
What would they do?
Nothing!
You would have nothing you could do!
If the vaccine doesn't work, you've got no legal recourse!
This is so funny!
And so, I mean, we're not even finished, but...
What a bunch of...
Crooks!
Yeah, exactly.
What a bunch of crooks, right?
And I think that a bunch of our governments, out of absolute fear, signed away all of this to get all of these vaccines, and now they're just like, okay, well, I mean, we're going to have to make everyone take them to justify this, otherwise we're going to look like bloody fools, right?
Anyway, let's continue on.
There are clauses about termination possibility, in fact, but as far as you saw, the buyer has almost nothing that can be considered a material breach, whereas Pfizer can easily do so if they don't get their money or if they just want to end the contract.
So all of the power is in Pfizer's hands.
You must pay Pfizer for the dosages you ordered, no matter how much you consumed, regardless if Pfizer got approved, or is pre-EU approval, or if they delivered the contracted doses in accordance with any estimated delivery dates.
A purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, which is pay, repay like reimburse, defend and hold harmless Pfizer, BioNTech, and their affiliates from any and all, suits, claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, penalties, fines, and costs and expenses.
So Pfizer will never be sued, there will never be any legal action against them, and whoever signs this contract agrees to pay all of that.
If Pfizer have produced a vaccine that happens, I don't know, make, like, you know, three-year-olds' heads explode or something, then you'd be like, oh, well, I'm going to get some legal recourse here.
And Pfizer's like, actually, no, your government's just going to pay that.
Get bent.
There's literally nothing you're going to be able to do.
However, Pfizer shall have the right to assume control of such defense, and purchasers shall pay all the losses, including, without limitation, the reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses included.
They are going to pay nothing.
They're going to take all of your money, and your government is going to forcibly vaccinate you.
Remember, the time for voluntary vaccinations is over.
Costs and expenses including fees and disimbursements of counsel incurred by the indemnities in connection with the indemnified claim should be reimbursed on a quarterly basis by the purchaser.
So every three months they're going to give Pfizer some of your money.
Purchaser must provide Pfizer protection from liability of claims and all losses, must implement it via statutory or regulatory requirements, and the sufficiency of such efforts should be in Pfizer's sole discretion.
Incredible.
It's just incredible.
I know, that's why I'm in awe.
I was just like, imagine writing that.
Never mind presenting it with a straight face and be like, sign here.
Imagine writing that, presenting it to the Albanian government and not expecting to be shot at dawn.
Well, there's the thing.
I can see some people in the chat mentioning, well, I'd like to know how many politicians have connections to Pfizer financially.
Because there's the thing.
Why would you sign something like this unless you were getting a kickback?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I mean, I think the most charitable interpretation would be tremendous fear.
Because, oh God, there's a pandemic.
There's a terrible, deadly disease.
And this drug company turns up and goes, well, we can do it, but these are our terms.
And you're like, well, look, people have to survive.
Better we pay the money than people die, right?
So I'll pay for nothing.
Yeah, well...
And just hope they fulfill the contract.
Yeah, exactly.
But this is the part that I like the most, and this is why no one else has got this information, why it took an Albanian...
I don't want to say crook, but...
It's Albania.
Yeah, yeah.
Even the Albanians have this opinion of their government.
I know, I know, but some crook in the Albanian government to leak this...
The provisions of this Section 10 confidential information shall survive the termination or expiration of this agreement for a period of 10 years.
As in, this will be kept secret after the contract ends for 10 years.
Why would you need that?
Because you don't want the public being angry at you, that's why.
So they'll only find out by 2031?
Yes.
This is a racket.
This is a massive, massive racket.
I'm sure that COVID, you know, I don't doubt the existence of COVID or the danger of COVID to people who are old and infirm or otherwise ill.
Obviously, you know, it seems to be the case.
Not in case.
No, not at all.
Not at all.
I've had vaccinations.
I think that smallpox was something we should vaccinate out of existence.
Good move, you know.
But this is not even, we don't even know that they are vaccines as far as Pfizer are concerned.
The way the contract's written.
Yeah, the way the contract's written.
They might not give you anything.
They might give you a vial of water.
You're going to pay them money.
You've got no recourse.
And they don't want you to talk about it for at least a decade after it's ended.
Nothing fishy.
Nothing suspicious there.
Nothing at all.
Unbelievable.
I've got nothing, but I'm in awe of Pfizer.
I mean, the balls to present that.
I mean, if you want to point to the villains of the piece, I think we've found them.
Anyway, speaking of some villains, let's go for the cult of intersectionality.
So there are various cults among leftism.
There is, of course, the cults of equality.
There are the cults of diversity.
But today we're going to focus on the cult of inclusivity, because the civil service have got some news.
The Scottish Civil Service is going to make everyone sign their emails off with their own pronouns, regardless of whether or not they want to or have any that are different from the norm, let's say.
Like, even if your pronouns are evident, it doesn't matter.
I think you've really got a duty there to choose the most offensive pronouns that you can.
The right honourable, it's got to be it, surely.
Just take the mickey.
And then when they say you can't do that, well, are you saying my existence is invalid?
Surely there's some sort of anti-discrimination legislation you can employ there.
Yeah, so anyway, here's the story.
Thousands of civil servants are to be encouraged to add pronouns to their email sign-off under plans for a transgender-inclusive drive, despite backlash from staff.
The Scottish government is backing proposals that would ask its 8,000 workers to take the pronoun pledge, under which they would add terms reflecting their gender identity, such as she-her, he-him, on the signatures at the bottom of their work emails.
Oh, it's just college students, Callum.
You're worrying about SJWs way too much.
Yeah.
let's say dictionary ones.
There's also the made-up ones they added for God knows what reason.
Some people who class themselves as non-binary prefer pronouns such as they, them, whilst others prefer the non-standard terms such as the, the.
Okay?
But why would I care?
The Tumblr meme.
Yes, literally.
The Tumblr meme terms are now being said by the Scottish government, you need to put those in your emails.
Otherwise, how do people know that we're a part of the cult?
Yeah.
Amazing.
Supporters of a plan to normalize the inclusion of pronouns said that this would foster an open culture that is supportive of the LGBTI plus community.
I really love how there's never any consistency these days about what the acronym is.
It's always something different, no matter who's talking.
I'm sure that this is definitely going to foster an open culture that's supportive of the LGBTI plus community.
It's not going to make people deeply resentful that they're having this new religion forced upon them.
It's not obviously a cult.
At the price of their job.
Yeah, exactly.
However, the plan has provoked opposition from civil servants.
Didn't know there were any civil servants.
Wow, resentment already.
Didn't take long, did it?
After an internal survey set up to gauge opinion, provoked a row which left some workers in tears.
Very inclusive.
The workers who are in tears here are the upper management, who are upset.
So, almost 60% did not want to add their pronouns to their emails the results sold.
So, 60% of these upper zoners were like, no, not doing that, not interested.
And the upper management started crying.
Yeah.
The survey set up by supporters of the pronoun pledge, what a phrase, found that only 17% of more than 3,000 staff at the government and its quangos who responded said they already used pronouns in the signatories.
This just sounds like the purity rings from the American Christians.
Have you taken a pledge to not have sex before marriage?
Have you taken a pledge to use people's preferred pronouns?
I can see inclusivity rings being a thing.
Yeah, I can as well.
The only way the badges are left us.
Yeah, at some point they'll get the armbands as well.
Doubtless there'll be a goose-stepping pride march down the streets of Edinburgh.
Trina Bewge, the director for Women's Scotland Campaign Group, raised a point in response to this.
She's a TERF, so a normal person.
And she raised a legal point in counter to this.
Are we really going to just call TERFs normal people?
Yeah.
They're not, though.
They pretty much are.
They believe that women are being oppressed by patriarchy and have been since the dawn of time.
Yeah, but it's 2021.
It's current year.
Their beliefs are basically identical to the misogynist beliefs that don't hold that.
They're in the camp of normal these days.
In forging ahead with this or any associated coerced signing of a pledge, the Scottish government would potentially be discriminating against a protected belief and also inviting sex discrimination.
I love it.
I really love that TERFism has become the protected belief in Britain.
The idea that women are women.
That's a protected belief in law.
Just the same as, say, Christian or Islamic beliefs are protected.
So is the phrase, women are women.
I mean, it's a coherent philosophical position.
Yeah, I just love how it's such unintended consequences because it was Tony Blair's government that passed that.
Thank goodness it was considered worthy of discussion in a democratic society as well.
Thank you, Master.
Yeah.
The comments made by some staff left other workers in tears.
Joe Griffin, a director...
Oh, to be a fly on the wall of those conversations.
What do you mean they don't want to say she-her at the end?
Joe Griffin, a director general of the Scottish government, said, presumably he's the one in tears, he called for empathy on both sides and debate and added, nobody in the workplace environment should have the fundamental aspect of their identity challenged.
Cry, cry, cry.
Yeah, but if they're people who literally are saying something that is just not, like, actually true...
I'm sorry.
You know, like, literally someone comes in and goes, look, you're going to have to refer to me as a dolphin, because I'm literally a dolphin, and if you don't believe that I'm a dolphin, then I'm having my identity challenged.
Like, well, I'm really sorry.
Do you see the double thing there as well?
that he's saying to people who are normal they don't identify as male they just are male and that's their life they need to make sure they make that there and it's like surely you're the one challenging their identity yes like the what's the leftist term cis males and cis women yeah like you're attacking their identity challenging their identity by meaning like which one are you moreover you're ascribing a new identity of cis you know i mean i don't identify as a cis no one identifies as a cis i'm a man that's it it's just nonsense anyway yeah Yeah.
So a Scottish government spokeswoman said it is an individual's choice whether to include their pronouns in introductions and email signatures.
Well, I guess that's true.
It's a choice for now, isn't it?
Anyway, this was featured on Woke Watch, which I'm really enjoying as a segment.
So good on Andrew Doyle for setting this up on GB News.
Andrew Doyle, goodest boy.
Yeah, he said on here that it's obviously about signalling that you submit to the intersectional gender ideology, and also, obviously, they don't care about the response, even though 60% of even civil servants are like, oh, we're not doing this.
They're just going to do it anyway, aren't they?
which is why you find on scottish governmental accounts or websites them talking in such a manner so we go to the next one here this is scottish government verified check mark their nhs here tweeting that over 55 000 pregnant people oh in england and scotland have had the coronavirus vaccine pregnant people Pregnant people.
Kind of people.
What do you need to get pregnant?
Birthing people.
Birthing people, yeah.
I don't know why, so it's obviously pregnant women, because that's how pregnancy works.
Oh my god, Callum's a TERF. But one of the things I always thought, why didn't you choose the phrase pregnant mothers?
Do they consider the word mother to be haram as well?
Of course, because some pregnant people will be fathers.
Nah.
By their logic, that's exactly why they can't do it.
I should have got it up.
There was a court case about that.
A woman who wants to be a man took that to court and was like, on the birth certificate, I want to be the father.
And the British government just went, no.
That's nice.
I'd like to be a millionaire, you know?
So that's, yeah.
Not in law, but also not in reality, of course, because reality doesn't care about what the law thinks.
So there's that.
I want to go to the next one here.
This is someone responding to it, being very stunning and brave, saying thank you for using inclusive language.
Tara is still wearing a mask.
Why, Tara?
I'm sorry for the pile-on from bigots you're going to have to deal with.
And as you mentioned, the Tara is still wearing a mask.
Yes.
Describes herself.
She, her.
Of course.
She's also the author of Red Moon Gang, an inclusive guide to periods, in which she talks about male periods.
Red Moon Gang.
Yeah.
Hello, fellow men.
I mean, that sounds like misogynistic humour that teenagers would use.
The Red Moon Gang.
But one of the things I have to notice, and I saw some TERFs mentioning this, and it's a point I've never actually thought about because I don't hear the TERFs mentioning it a lot, but you notice how they do this more often for women than for men?
Yeah.
Like all this destruction of the language.
Sure, because men have already capitulated.
Well, I don't think it's that.
The word men, or men have X, still seems to apply whenever they attack it.
They don't get away with it.
Like, we don't stand for it.
It's just like, yeah, the female penis.
Everyone just laughs and walks off.
Because it's just so stupid.
But when it comes to menstruation or birthing people, like, the government seems to be able to just do this and...
I don't know, there's not the same kind of just obvious humoristic backlash.
Well, yeah, but there's actual resistance from, you know, actual women.
Sure there is, but I don't see them trying it on the female penis, for example.
I never see them trying this.
I think they might actually be right on that, the TERF's on that point.
I do think it does seem to be mostly about deleting the term women, which is interesting.
Oh yeah, but again, I put it down to the fact that men just don't defend the term man.
I think we just don't take this nonsense seriously.
In the same way we won't stand for increased prices on goods.
Sure, but at no point...
I mean, it's probably because there's nothing prestigious about being in a male space.
Do you want to go in the men's toilets?
Not really.
Yeah.
The men don't even want to be in there.
Exactly.
Nobody does.
Anyway.
What's interesting is no one told the website manager.
So we go to the next one.
You can see here, someone pointing out, on the website they're linking to, scroll down, it says women.
Oh dear.
Pregnant women.
How dare they?
How dare they?
So, I guess that'll be teamed up, sure enough.
But also, there's also the Cult of Inclusivity rolling out new emojis, because of course, pregnant men are men, and that makes no sense.
So there's this new emoji.
We hadn't had time to talk about it until now, so I thought I'd just mention it.
It also just looks like he's either really fat and needs to go to the bathroom or something, or it's a vore porn.
Yeah, this looks like extreme cases of constipation.
Like, literally, if someone hasn't taken a dump for a month, that's the sort of face I'd expect them to have and be holding their belly in exactly that way.
The guy's just finished Thanksgiving or something.
The constipation emoji has arrived!
But you remember the...
I knew we were missing something.
That's a way of recalling it, which we should do.
So you remember the Scottish government saying it's an individual's choice as to whether they use their pronouns and their introductions to emails?
Yeah, it always is until it isn't.
And this is a great example, and I don't mention it enough, because the guy who leaked this to us, I mean, all praise to him, because this is the most extreme example in the UK, I think, which is a leak we got from the Royal Air Force, in which there was a new message to all force personnel, in which they had to learn a set of new pronouns and make sure they used the correct ones in the right place.
Were they normal, or were they heck?
Common pronouns include they, she, he, ze, per, them, her, him, her, per, and her, his, her, his, pers.
Personnel are reminded of their obligation to promote total inclusivity.
What the hell is total inclusivity?
They also say total inclusivity is non-negotiable.
Can we scroll down on this?
Just show people.
I'm not making this up.
This is for the Royal Air Force, right?
And so if they want to be totally inclusive, if, say, a bunch of Chinese spies came over and said, hi, we'd like to join the Air Force, they're like, well, we have to be totally inclusive.
So we would end up letting the enemies into the Air Force.
Yeah, total inclusivity would also mean accepting paedophilia as a sexuality for inclusiveness.
That's very left-wing.
So there's that.
Yeah, I mean, it's just like a nonsense term you'd expect Kim Il-sung to come up with.
But in case you're wondering what it looks like, I mean, we have a visual representation an artist has made.
We can go to the next one here.
Presumably an artist's interpretation.
This would never happen in real life, of course.
Oh, the faces on those two women.
Oh my goodness.
But then I wanted to talk about the British Army, because they have a diversity and inclusion campaign.
Sorry, before we go on, let's just go back.
Look at those two women.
Samoans.
Yeah, I can tell.
But, like, just BTFO'd by a white male.
That's a woman.
That's a woman.
So yeah, let's go for the British Army's diversity and inclusion campaign.
And the reason I'm mentioning this is because it was really funny.
You can see the downvotes there.
So they are insistent that it's not about political correctness.
And when you have to say that, you've lost.
So let's go for the first clip.
This isn't about political correctness.
It is an operational necessity and morally the right thing to do.
Everyone has their part to play to ensure the Army continues to be a high-performing, inclusive team.
We need to work together, breaking down barriers that prevent people from giving us their best.
Every member of our team must know they are valued and accepted regardless of their race, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
Don't bring it up.
I'm sorry, but the army, maybe you're trying, but you guys have no idea what you're talking about, and it looks so stupid and so obvious.
But you know what's funny about this ad in particular?
It's not only that they have to be like, this isn't about political correctness when it obviously is.
It's the fact that the second part of this just looks like a threat.
They tell you that racism has no place in society with images of a tank rolling around.
Let's play it.
Racism, sexism and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.
There is no place for those who stand in the way of growing our more diverse team.
And those who fail to live up to this expectation will be held to account.
Anyway, yeah, I just thought it was particularly funny.
Like, we're going to Tiananmen square you if you don't agree to total inclusivity.
God bless the British Army.
Good God, lads.
What are you doing?
Anyway, so this cult also leads to absurdity in civilian life, so if we go to the next one here.
This is a court case that, well, a tribunal that's been finished now.
So, stop calling me grandma.
It could break age bias laws.
So this was a lady who was called Grandma, because she is Grandma, and she went to tribunal against her employer for calling her Grandma, and she won.
So, stop calling me Grandma, I could make age bias rules, and Dobson sued her employer for a publishing company after a colleague wrote a car review in which she was described as a grandmother.
She was 62 at the time.
And an actual grandmother, right?
Yeah.
Dobson complained that even though she had three grandchildren at that point, the preference had been a dick at my age and raised a laugh in the office.
She resigned from the £50,000-a-year role and brought legal proceedings against her publisher.
A judge has now ruled that the review amounted to detrimental and less favourable treatment of Dobson because it drew attention to her age.
So because they called her grandma, that was wrong treatment, even though she is...
She's 62.
But we're also criminalised from calling you a boomer anymore, so that's going to have to stop, isn't it?
I knew this would come round into my favour eventually.
That's alright, chat, I'm watching you.
Prepare to receive illegal documents.
If you thought this was any means to stop any of this nonsense, of course it's not.
We'll dig this whole dig deeper, won't we?
So go to the next one, Royce is on here, in which a UK watchdog demands that 40% of all boardrooms be women now.
Sorry, who are these people, and why should I care about their opinions?
But also, for ethnic diversity?
Ah, yes, that well-known ethnicity.
Women.
The way it's written is so stupid.
But the ultimate thing about all this is, of course, the Calvin Klein meme.
I mean, this makes the point better than anyone could.
You can see this MX Martial Arts Forum where this is going about.
Everyone's seen it.
1999, beautiful woman in bikini.
That's similar to Calvin Klein.
2019, land whale in fur.
I mean, there couldn't be a better way of demonstrating how...
More perverted the culture we live in has become than these signs.
The first one, if we can go back up to the first one, what can we see?
We can see an attractive woman who is aspirational.
She is what we would describe as showing virtues.
She is very fit, she's very healthy, she looks great in this bikini, and that's why Calvin Klein have chosen her, because she's looking amazing, and you're looking and thinking, wow, if I get that bikini, maybe I'll look something like her.
You won't, but that's just beside the point.
And of course, the standards that this woman is upholding are very high, And if we go down to the bottom one, John, again, just the standards have been abolished.
There are no standards.
If you buy Calvin Klein, you'll look like this woman.
I wonder how their sales are doing.
I don't have any Calvin Klein, thank God.
Anyway, the lady in the second one actually defended herself at the time on Twitter, and I didn't know this, so I thought I'd just mention it, because the defense is also astounding.
So let's go to the next link here.
There's a tweet in there in which there's a bunch of tweets from women who are like, I'm not buying Calvin Klein then.
I don't want to look like that, yeah.
So the lady defended herself by saying, I shouldn't have to defend my existence.
No one should, especially simply based on size.
You should have to defend your existence in a poster about beauty, based on size, because obese land whale is not the beauty standard that anyone wants to attend to.
I mean, it's a very niche audience, you know, I mean, I'm sure Calvin Klein will have their new foot advertisements.
I shouldn't have to justify my feet.
Yeah, exactly.
It's so barbaric and laughable that when I see people attempt to make an example of me, I only pity them and the people curse to share the same oxygen as them.
Nah, it's not about her, obviously.
It's about the cult of inclusivity.
We must be more inclusive, therefore we need land whales on the models of Calvin Klein.
The Calvin Klein one proves the point that inclusivity means the abolition of standards.
Yes.
That's what it means.
It is getting rid of what's proper and replacing it with what is improper.
Yes.
No standards whatsoever.
But I thought we'd just end this with a quick mention of the cult of diversity, the other sector of the chaos gods of the left.
So it's just with Cori Bush, because she tweeted something I found incredibly funny.
So it's an image of bipartisan infrastructure group, and it's a bunch of Republicans and some Dems who have got together and said they're going to sign a bill.
I don't know anything about the bill.
I don't care.
What's interesting is Cori's response here, member of the squad, black lady, is Is this the bipartisan infrastructure group or the audience at Kid Rock concert?
Hashtag negotiation so white.
The problem with the bipartisan support is that they're all white.
I mean, my problem is that it's got Mitt Romney on it.
Yeah.
Like, and various other people who are awful.
No, that's not what's important at all.
It's Corey Yousef over here, who's like, Mitt Romney, white.
Lindsay Graham, white.
That's the real problem.
Yeah.
And she just does this openly, and I can't get over how this is accepted in the left, but...
Sorry that we're not racist, Corey.
Anyway, there's the cults of the left.
Let's move on to TikTok.
Yeah, so I thought we'd go through some of the things that have been posted to a Twitter account called Libs of TikTok, which is Generation Z leftists on TikTok explaining how the world works.
And we don't know how the world works, obviously, so we need to take to our moral authorities of TikTok to explain to us what right and wrong are and how the world operates.
Let's play the first one.
Hey, and thank you for asking.
So my pronouns are she, her.
I also wanted to let you all know that I'm comfortable with both masculine and feminine gendered terms.
For those of you that don't know what gendered terms are, some examples of masculine gendered terms are like dude or man.
So saying like, hey dude, or what's up man.
And some examples of feminine gendered terms are like, hey girl, hey queen, that kind of stuff.
And as a side note, I know some people use these in a gender neutral way.
I used to use dude a lot in a gender-neutral way, but it's important to remember, even if you're planning on using them in a gender-neutral way, they are still gendered terms.
So some people may not be comfortable being called them.
It's always best to ask.
Second side note, even though I'm comfortable being called feminine gendered terms, Please don't call me cis if you're not another Indigenous person, unless I've invited you to.
Cis is a term of endearment within the Indigenous community that we use to identify each other.
So I'm not comfortable being called it by non-Indigenous people.
Never call me cis in a sarcastic way.
Are you listening, Callum?
Are you taking that lesson from her?
I found that really funny that she said, even though you mean it this way, that doesn't matter.
The context doesn't matter.
I love that.
I mean, every black rapper, go to jail for racism.
Because that's how that works.
The term dude, I'm actually really annoyed that this has been Co-opted by leftists and saying, oh no, this is a gendered parent.
No, it's not.
Like, sorry, you know, I realise that you're 12 years old and you just realise the world exists, but things existed long before you and I was one of those things and I was using the term dude for everyone, you know, when I was basically your age, so shut up, kid.
And honestly, you look like an actual explosion in a paint factory.
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
I don't know why there are so many TikTokers, let's say.
They just look such a mess.
It just looks like, oh, look, my new paint kit's arrived.
Like, they make Big Red look conservative.
Yes, they do!
Anyway, let's go on to the next one.
Being rich is a crime against humanity.
My dreams have always been considered good.
And we could distribute the things that everybody needs so no one has more wealth than any person should.
Here's a story about a guy named Uli Mornack, a property owner in medieval Switzerland.
He threw his weight around and only ever had his own back, and said he could do whatever he wanted with his land.
Well, an old lady stopped to get some water one day, but Uli noticed she was on his property, so he beat her up and went to court and lied through his teeth, and laughed about it with his friends later that week.
Now today his wealth might be desirable, but back then he was a villain and a crook.
So the people of the town got together one night and murdered him and then got off the hook.
That's justice.
That's leftist justice.
I love this.
Every form of socialism is just which group of people do we murder to fix the world's problems?
Murder is good if you're a communist.
There's a bunch of people we need to murder, and it's the witch.
Because being rich is a crime against humanity, don't you know?
Amazing.
You get that with the class socialists, but the race socialists just kill all the white people.
Gendered socialists just kill all the men.
And then everything will be fixed.
There is a group of people that they need to kill, and they're not shy about telling you who they are.
And they're going to sit there in a Soviet Union t-shirt and say, hey, we should murder people.
Listen to this story about someone getting murdered.
This is good.
That's such an evil thing.
They don't understand.
The very act of murdering someone is in and of itself evil.
Well, they're not murdering someone in their mind, are they?
I mean, like the Nazis who murdered the Jews, they're like, no, they're rodents or something.
Yeah, they're not people, they're parasites.
Because they've committed crimes against violence.
Yeah, that's exactly, exactly what I was thinking of, John.
The Simpsons image.
Yeah, where it literally just exploded in her face.
How would it be a TikToker starter pack?
Anyway, let's play the next one.
Let's talk about black crime rates.
Black neighborhoods are over-policed, so of course they have higher rates of crime.
And white people are under charge, so of course they have lower rates of crime.
And all of those stupid stats you keep using are operating off a small sample size.
So shut up!
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Cope, cope, cope.
Cope, cope, cope.
I mean, the statistic most people look at is not black crime in general, but black murders.
And we can take the murderers, go through case by case, and you tell me which one is totally innocent.
Well, that's the thing.
In America, these are the FBI crimes to six, so when they're like, well, you're using small sample size.
What, the entire population of the United States?
I think that's a big enough sample size.
And black communities don't have higher rates of crime because they're over-policed.
That's not how crime works.
No.
No.
Strangely enough, the police don't make the crime, usually.
White communities don't have lower rates of crime because they're under-policed.
That's just not how that works.
Massive, massive cope from Generation Z TikTokers.
I wonder how this rule works.
Like, if you put a thousand police officers in one neighbourhood, does everyone just start killing each other?
Exactly!
It's riots and things exploding and gunshots ringing out.
Just happy families just start murdering each other.
Why?
I saw a policeman.
It's like some sort of Frank Herbert novel or something.
Anyway, let's go on to the next one!
Next up, we have Ace Flux.
So, Ace Flux is your person.
They're going to fluctuate between asexuality and allosexual, so like...
It's your person that one day they could be fully asexual and then the next it could totally change.
So this is a person whose sexuality is going to fluctuate on a daily basis.
One day they could have crushes on somebody.
One day they could be sexually attracted to somebody in some form or degree.
And the next day they could be completely just not interested, not wanting anything to do with it.
So this is your person that's going to be asexual one day.
In some form or degree of sexual, the next.
I think that's really interesting, that's very cool, and I love learning about these things as I go along, so if you know anybody who's on the Ace Flux or anything, please tag them, let them know, share it, like, comment, thank you!
I love the way that this is framed as a sexuality, right?
But what have they actually described there?
Well, some days I'm horny, some days I'm not.
Yeah.
Some days I've got a headache, just not in the mood.
Some days I'm up for it.
I see you're right, though.
This stuff should be spammed to every member of the Equality Department and every leftist who's arguing for Recognition Act or whatever.
Oh, absolutely.
She's like, right, how do you stand against this?
Yeah.
So, are you an allosexual or are you a tyrannosaurus?
I love that joke.
Anyway, let's go on to homelessness, I think it is.
What if we stopped saying homeless, we stopped saying people experiencing houselessness, and said people displaced by capitalism?
Big brain thought!
How do we explain people who are homeless during feudalism, though?
How do we explain people who are homeless in the Soviet Union?
How do we explain people who are homeless before the invention of houses?
How do we explain the one country that did end homelessness?
North Korea.
And how did they do it?
They made sure that you couldn't buy food.
You had to have a residence.
Seriously, so capitalism to them is some sort of overarching evil god that existed even before houses existed and must have therefore been responsible for the entire population of the earth being homeless.
I live in a capitalist society.
If I go home and slit my throat, capitalism did this.
It's like, no, you did this.
Right, well, let's get on some cope about why the black community hates Asians.
The widespread animosity between Asian people and black people is probably one of the sneakiest tricks ever pulled to uphold white supremacy.
I've seen a lot of black people scoff at the idea that the black community should stand in solidarity and support of the Asian community right now.
And to justify this, they say, oh, Asian people don't like us, they don't help us, why should we help them?
And the answer is quite simple.
Because white people don't want us to.
It's the same reason that white people pit black men against black women, or light-skinned people against dark-skinned people.
Because we're a lot easier to control when we're divided.
The anti-black and anti-Asian sentiments in our respective communities didn't develop organically, they were put there.
They are the product of systems of white supremacy specifically designed to keep people of color disenfranchised in this country.
We need to build bridges and stand with the Asian American community and to start dismantling the anti-Asian hatred within ourselves.
Because it gets us nowhere, it weakens us both, and there is no question that we would all be stronger together.
Why did you beat up this Asian grandma?
Well, you know, redlining in the 40s.
Let me talk to you about Jim Crow.
So, I mean, that is just a massive cope.
I love about that.
It's like, right, so white people did this.
It didn't happen organically.
Somehow they introduced it, but it is all within us and we've got our reasons for hating Asian people.
It's because they don't like us.
That's why we hate them, and that's the white man's fault.
I wonder what his position was on the blacks who keep attacking Jews as well.
Well, I imagine that the white supremacy has a lot to answer for, Callum.
That's right.
I love the, you know, white people don't want us to get along.
No, they really do.
They really do.
They really would like you all to just be nice and polite and follow the rules.
I mean, you know, I'm not a white American, but I'm guessing that almost all of them would agree to that.
I swear to God.
Anyway, let's...
Also, just one thing to mention.
I know this is just like, oh, you're young people.
Yeah, it was just people on college campuses, wasn't it?
These goddamn morons of their ideology currently infest every institution in the West.
It's not going to get better, is it?
The army, the government, every corporation, everywhere you go, and we had to have legal decisions to say that actually you're allowed to believe that women have vaginas.
Yeah, but the current government is currently at, what is it, like 2012 Tumblr?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That clock of progress isn't going to stop.
No, they've got a lot of catching up to do.
Eventually, we'll get things like this.
I describe myself as agender because internally when I think of me, I don't associate me with any gender.
And not in a way that's like, I can go any way, I'm cool with all pronouns.
I am specifically no thank you to gender.
A lot of people say, but you look so fat!
I know!
It's useful sometimes!
I grew out my hair this long because I've been a performer for six years and I found that I got better tips when I flipped my hair around so I look that way.
But when I think inside and I introspect about what I want from gender?
Powerful.
Intimidating.
Biblically accurate angel.
I don't really feel gender euphoria at all.
I just don't want it.
For me, gender isn't a part of my identity.
Gender is a tool that I use to get what I want.
If you're following along and questioning your identity at home, take a second to think about what exactly you want from gender and what part of it gives you euphoria.
And like and follow for more gender fuckery from this series this week as we talk about movement and gender presentation in the moment that I started questioning my gender.
Obviously a woman.
Don't care what your opinion on gender is.
God, I only grow my hair out for my work.
Like, yeah, but you're doing TikTok, so that's not work.
And you're still doing all the female signatures.
I think she might have been a stripper or something.
Empowered.
Very empowered.
We're sex positive around here, Callum.
But obviously, I love the term gender euphoria.
As I understand it, that's meant to be some sort of pleasurable feeling that you get from when you're recognized as a gender or something like this.
And it's like, okay...
Don't care.
Like, you're obviously a woman.
And even if, you know, you're not like, oh, I'm thrilled about being a woman.
Doesn't matter.
Anyway, moving on.
This is a reminder.
Apparently.
...that non-asexual aromantic and allosexual aromantic are not always interchangeable.
What?
Non-asexual aromantic includes identities such as my own.
I'm not asexual, but I'm not allosexual either.
My experiences are going to be very different from an allosexual aromantic person's.
I think it's just important if you're an ally who's talking about aromantic issues, if you're talking about allosexual aromantic issues, make sure to say allosexual aromantic.
There is nothing wrong with that term.
Just saying non-asexual aromantic also includes other aromantic people who might not experience sexual attraction but still don't identify as asexual.
Just something to keep in mind.
Breaking new frontiers in identity.
Important stuff.
Oh, I know.
We're totally different.
Totally different.
I know that we might seem exactly the same in every single way, but we're totally different, guys.
And this is really important moral legislation from a child.
You know what really hurts?
Is everyone's thinking it.
Alright, when their parents see that, they're just going to be like, right, I've got to teach my child some lessons.
You know what's sad?
I bet they're in California, and I bet the parents are, like, stunning and brave.
Of course they are.
For anyone who's wondering, I looked up what allosexual means.
It's actually nothing to do with dinosaurs, so I'm not interested in it.
But it refers to people who do not identify as asexual, that is, people who regularly experience sexual attraction regardless of their sexual orientation.
Asexual, in contrast, refers to people who experience little or no sexual attraction.
As a counterpart to asexual, the word allosexual helps normalize and destigmatize asexuality in society.
So I've come away from that not knowing what the hell they're supposed to be talking about.
It's a subversion term.
It is just to make normal people not the norm, because I just want to make them chaos, don't I? Yes.
That's why I call them the cult of chaos.
The whole 40k scene, the chaos faction does actually work for these people.
Absolutely.
God save the emperor.
Anyway, let's hear about what being demisexual is.
I'm demisexual.
I only feel sexual attraction when I form an emotional connection.
If there's no strong bond, it's not an option.
Get to know me.
I'm demisexual.
So, normal?
Is that a right-wing meme?
I don't know.
It kind of seems like super straight.
Is this a troll?
Yeah, I only want to have sex with someone I'm in love with, like a traditional woman.
I'm woman-sexual.
I mean, we've literally returned to tradition via demisexuality.
Anyway, let's get a lecture on misogyny.
Okay, you guys know how we talked about how white people have all been psychologically conditioned to be racist and they have to actively unlearn that conditioning to be anti-racist?
The same thing applies with cisgendered men.
All men have been psychologically conditioned to be misogynistic under our patriarchal society, which is why they struggle to see women as multifaceted human beings.
Why you see those men who But then again, let's go even deeper.
The daughter's still viewed as something that can be controlled.
And once those daughters start to break out of that control and think for themselves, often they get mistreated by their fathers.
Because now his manhood is threatened by her intelligence.
And that's just one example.
Men need to actively unlearn their misogyny.
What the f- Like, if you have a daughter and you're careful about you don't want her to get raped, that's you being intimidated by her intelligence?
That's her undermining your masculinity with her intelligence.
You know that scene from GTA 5 where I think it's at Franklin's house, like his mother and his jogging partner goes out and they're like, we are women, we are strong, and then Trevor just turns up and goes, shut up!
That's basically how I felt about it, and just to be clear, I don't know what she's withering about, but if your daughter's doing something of which you disprove, as a father, you should stop her doing it.
Don't make yourself hate your children.
No, and don't allow your children to be taken away by this stuff, and it's tough.
They don't like it.
But anyway, the real question of the hour is, what is a woman?
Here's one TikToker to help us with that.
Okay, can someone help me out with this?
Because I'm confused.
I am a woman.
I identify as a woman.
I feel comfortable in being a woman.
What the fuck is a woman?
Like, if someone asked me, what does being a woman mean to you?
I wouldn't have an answer.
Don't even try to tell me that, well, being a woman is being empathetic and kind and compassionate because that could be anybody.
Anybody could be those things.
Don't even bother being transphobic in my comments.
Saying that, oh, well, being a woman is having a uterus and having kids because no, no.
Don't even bother saying that being a woman means having bitties and having a vagine because no, also no, wrong.
So I'll ask the question again.
What is a woman?
Like, I feel so comfortable identifying as a woman, but is that only because that's just what I've always been?
That's what people always told me that I was, so I just went with it?
And the thing that's frustrating with this question is that everyone's answer is always, well, it depends on the person.
And I get that, I know, but I'm trying to figure it out for myself.
And I don't know.
And I mean, I'm a gender abolitionist, so like, abolish gender, you know?
But some people feel very validated in their labels and in their gender.
So I'm strictly speaking for myself.
I don't know what being a woman means to me.
Anyone else?
So, I don't know what a woman is.
I'm going to refuse any biological connection to a person's body with their womanhood.
But I know the intersectional versions don't make any sense.
They don't make any sense, and I can't understand from their view what a woman is, because they don't define what a woman is.
Also, I want to abolish what a woman is.
Well, she wanted to abolish all gender.
Yes.
So what is transitioning then?
Yes.
But also, what's a woman if you want to abolish it?
What's the point in worrying about what the definition is if you're getting rid of it?
Like, you know...
Well, so she's a woman.
I mean, abolish yourself first, love.
Yeah, exactly.
She'd have to abolish it herself.
But that's the point, isn't it?
These poor people have been left totally unable to form a coherent view of the world around them.
And there are probably millions upon millions of these poor souls at this point.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Like this isn't just...
The rule of the TikTok.
The meme of the Tumblr fringe.
Jesus Christ, these people keep coming out of the woodwork in every scandal in public life now.
There's always somebody.
Yeah, yeah.
But anyway, let's hear about a lecture about capitalism.
But if they raise the minimum wage, how do I keep my business open?
Then go out of business.
That's capitalism.
It's the free market supply and demand.
Where is your demand, baby girl?
Sorry no one wants your racist 50s Americana.
That's right.
Capitalism is when the government ruins you.
Capitalism is when the government means that you can't afford to hire people.
Peak capitalism.
Much capitalism.
It's the most capitalism, in fact.
When the government has more interference than anything else in your business, that's capitalism, according to millennials on TikTok.
Most capitalist country in existence.
Absolutely.
North Korea is the peak example of capitalism.
But China, for capitalism.
I guess so.
China actually has successful businesses in it.
That's not capitalism.
Yeah, it's typical.
Anyway, and of course, communism is wonderful.
Yeah, so this guy asked for a video on why communism is good, and in a part two comment, he said that he thinks a lot of people just equate communism with North Korea, USSR, stuff like that, and that's a bad thing.
You also don't have to apologize for any ignorance for being liberal.
I grew up Christian conservative before I found leftism.
Communism is good because true Marxist communism is as close to a utopia as we can get.
The reason you equate communism with North Korea and that that's a bad thing is because of Western propaganda, capitalism, McCarthyism, Red Scare.
The capitalists over your head want you to think that it's bad so they can keep their capitalism.
The Marxist definition of communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society.
That definition has never been reached in the real world.
Unless you count all of human history up to the last couple thousand years.
No working 60 hours a week to have food in your stomach and a roof over your head.
Accessible healthcare.
And free to do anything you want to do without the chains of money.
I've probably consumed more North Korean propaganda than anyone in this office.
The North Koreans.
And the North Koreans are very, very explicit about how socialist they are.
What I love about this is he's, again, fantasizing, Rousseau-style, about the wonderful condition of mankind before civilization occurred.
You know, money, trade, property, all those sort of things.
You know, people didn't work 60-hour weeks, Callum.
I mean, they buried sort of like three out of five children, but they didn't work 60-hour weeks.
And they also starved to death often.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
They would also starve to death, get eaten by wild animals, etc., etc., No, but dig up their corpses and eat them as well.
But they weren't capitalists.
So at least they were free.
At least they were free.
Amazing.
Gotta love TikTok.
I feel bad for what's happened to these children, and they are children.
It's kind of the thing, I'm agreeing with Michael Malice at this point, but it's sort of just like, well, the whole thing's...
Oh, yeah.
You look at the next generation, this ideology shows no signs of stopping.
No.
And the people who have been indoctrinated into it have not got the tools to understand why the things that are happening to them are happening.
No imagination.
Not even that.
No constructive thinking.
So they can't look at something and extrapolate any kind of theory from it.
They've been indoctrinated in theory and have to project that onto everything that happens.
So now, hunter-gatherers are the peak communists.
So the Sentinelese of peak communists and, you know, capitalism is, you know, the iPhone he's recording that on is a form of oppression.
The Workers' Party of Korea, capitalist.
Yeah.
Socialist Congress, capitalist.
But it's these people who are going to suffer when this all comes crashing down because this isn't going to last forever.
But anyway.
It couldn't have happened to a better people.
Let's go for the video comments.
Just to be clear, guys, the best Full Light game is Wasteland on the Commodore 64.
Oh, oh, we're so edgy and cool.
We remember the proto-Fallout games, do we?
I'm pretty sure.
Wasn't Wastelander kind of a joke at the time?
No, no, no.
It was a Commodore 64 game, which you don't know what a Commodore 64 is, do you?
I know what it is, but it's in a museum somewhere.
I don't know.
Yeah, exactly.
I used to play on this.
They were good.
The Amiga came along and blew the Commodore 64 away.
It was brilliant.
Amiga 500 for life.
But, yeah, no, you're not cool just because you knew what that was.
Let's go to the next one.
Hi.
With the debate on COVID being serious, I think we should calm down.
Read about it.
In this one, the author, a Swedish doctor, goes over some of the most solid evidence on COVID. Mortality, the effect of face masks, lockdowns, as well as the vaccinations and the other stuff.
It's not super in-depth.
It's a good help on arguing.
He also has a blog on SebastianRussworth.com where he talks about COVID as well as diet, including keto.
I recommend checking both out.
I think it's becoming clear that the best way to deal with the migrant issue on our border might be to send some British ships down and start indiscriminately shelling the channel.
That might put the fear of God in a few of these migrants.
Either that, or we're going to have to take up pitchforks up the shores and deal with it that way.
Can't really see Twitter being too in favour of that, and that means the government's definitely not going to do it.
The only solution does have to be the Rwanda one, sorry.
Just take them all to the centre of Rwanda and have them processed there.
And then if you're a limit, you can come.
Processed.
A good old-fashioned Rwandan processing.
I'm sure they will be equitable.
I'm sure that the records will be perfect.
But did you see the RNLI getting involved in all that?
Yeah.
I don't know whether or not to do a segment on it, but it's a bit...
I just can't believe they try and virtue signal to London.
It's like all the coastal towns, how do you think they feel about this?
You know, the ones that fund you.
But I mean, it is their job to rescue people from the channel, so...
That's true.
I mean, I'm not angry at them for doing their job.
But it's like if they went up there and they rescued some guys and they had a ton of coke on them or something, right?
And you took the coke as well.
You'd have to team up with the Border Force, hand them over to the Border Force, and then they're their problem.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
But I do think that it is their job to pull them out of the sea, fine.
Yeah, but then I would have thought you'd just hand them over to the Border Force boat and be like, your problem, bye-bye.
That's what should happen, yeah.
This is not someone we can just take back to shore.
Callum, you're useless.
You demand for weeks that Dylan does an impersonation of me, and he finally uploads one, and you completely fail to get it.
What?
Oh, that's Dylan?
Is it?
I thought it was him.
I thought it was him too.
Okay, Jesus Christ, that's Dylan.
You did an amazing job.
I just thought that was the old guy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Fair enough.
I've spent some time rummaging around in the ONS and have found so many fascinating statistics it would take a whole podcast to tell you them all.
Did you say you were hiring...
Anyway, one of the most alarming ones I found was with regards to the birth rate.
So in 2019, 28% of all births in England and Wales were to mothers who were themselves not born in the UK, with immigrant-only families outnumbering mixed families by two to one.
That is a fascinating statistic.
I wonder where the mixed statistic is on there, but...
God, Tony Blair has something to answer for, doesn't he?
We're on the Tories for not fixing it, even though they said on every manifesto they've been elected on, we'll fix it.
They'd be massively popular if they did as well.
Yeah, no downsides.
Guys, what's happening in Germany and the UK is helping my argument quite a bit that leftism and homosexuality is a distinction without a difference.
But on top of that, I think even you could agree that child rape is a virtue and value of the left.
That it is a pillar to their existence.
Changed my mind.
Well, I don't agree that being gay means you're a leftist, and all leftists are gay, so there is a distinction there, and there are right-wing homosexuals, obviously.
But I do think that left-wing politics in particular, when we say left-wing, I think it's important that we separate this from the social democrat types, who are like, oh, I'd like free healthcare.
You know, they're not communists.
I wouldn't actually call those communists.
Very suspicious of them, though.
Sure, sure.
They're, you know, deeply, deeply sus.
But I wouldn't call them communists.
But for the communists, yes.
Communism and paedophilia appear to go hand in hand.
Total inclusivity.
Total inclusivity.
And not just that.
It's the liberation of the will from the constraints of the body.
And so, well, you know, this child wanted it, is basically their view.
It's like, There's nothing to salvage from leftists for.
Yeah, I agree.
Guys, I want you to meet Shredder.
This little guy is a rescue and rehabilitation.
When my wife and I got him, he was so mean, he would attack anyone who would stick their hand in his cage.
He actually had a warning on his cage.
So it's been about eight months now, and as you can see, he's really sweet, really nice now.
So just lots of tender love and care, and he's a good little guy now, so...
Thought you could guys use a little white pill.
There you go.
Is that gerbil?
I don't know, but hello Shredder.
Thanks for that.
Yeah, that's adorable.
That's cute.
I like pets.
Do feel free to send us more things for your pets.
Yeah.
So Nazi is German shorthand for National Socialist.
Who also had anti-tobacco campaigns.
The word simp is funny because not only is it talking about the man, but it's also put down on the woman.
The best way to deal with a cultural war is to fight it when it comes to you, and otherwise have hobbies.
Like watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventures!
So what's that?
Ah, yeah, that was a good stuff.
Ah, you can see the gun.
Did Hitler ever see the Gustav gun?
I can't remember, actually, when it decommissioned.
Because I know it was in the First World War.
I don't know if it was in the Second World War or not.
I don't know.
Do you know what it is?
Yeah, a giant railway gun.
Yeah, it's such a meme.
Like, they bombed Paris with it for, like, no reason.
It was like, all this expense...
Why?
Because we can?
You know, you think of all the material and all the nonsense that has to go into building this and setting it up and the massive shells you have to make specially for it.
And then what do you do with it?
Oh, we're just going to throw some at Paris.
It's not a military target.
Yeah, but, you know...
Depends who you think your enemy is.
Alright, so I see a lot of people are posting their passion projects on the podcast, so I want to show ours.
So, the original idea was to make our own bullets and sell them, but we realized that's a felony and we didn't want to do that.
So, we decided to make jewelry instead, right there.
And we had a whole spot to cast lead.
We don't have to do that anymore.
We got our little bullet station there and this is the rest of the shop.
So, yeah.
That's pretty cool.
I have to wonder, I assume you're American, which is the...
I've always had this, like, as a child, I had this dream.
I've no idea how legitimate it is.
But are there people who just, like, make and design guns in America?
Is that a job?
What, just for fun?
No, no, for, like, work.
Oh, well, I mean, yes, gun manufacturers, they must make and design guns.
Like, you'll have a gunsmith in there that does that?
There must be.
I wonder what that's like as a job.
I'd love to see.
Must be great.
But that was really cool.
*Gunshot* *Gunshot* It's flexing us.
*Gunshot* *Gunshot* Well that makes me want to go lift now.
*Gunshot* Just get it done, gents.
It's really not that hard.
Yep, he's right.
We have some stuff in the office for that.
I don't know if we ever said it.
We've got a pull-up bar and some weights and stuff.
It's good.
Hello Lotus Eaters.
I have written the book on everything.
It's only that many words long with that many things wrong and it's all real.
I got this.
Well done.
Okay.
I hope you get it published.
Is that the end of it?
Should we go to the...
Yeah, yeah.
So Matthew Hammond said, Yeah, but they have a lot of money that they have to give to Pfizer.
They've got a lot of vaccines.
And so now...
And they're trapped in the middle of a moral panic on Twitter.
So you can't really expect them to be reasonable about things.
When does the stock market open?
I think it's 3pm for us after the podcast.
I'm just going to check and see what happens to their stock.
Lawrence says, if we're going to disallow anti-vaxxers into the NHS, then why not fat people?
Why not people who did anything by choice?
Oh, bleeding out from a car crash where you chose to drive the car?
Yeah, I like the idea of this stoic NHS. That's something like, well, it's your choice.
You caught the flu, no NHS for you.
Crashed your car, no NHS. And then it's just like, yeah, to save the NHS, we will get rid of all the patients.
Got cancer?
Well, maybe you shouldn't have eaten that pork chop 15 years ago, you know.
Lessons learned, isn't it?
Born with a disease?
Shouldn't have been born.
Yeah, exactly.
You could have thought about that.
Lee says...
Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's a sinister plot.
I think it's about making money.
Which, I mean...
It's usually what everything's about.
The way that this Pfizer contract is looks like a sinister plot, but not to do anything to us, just to rinse us, basically.
Freewell says, I simply don't trust any of our leaders.
Well, welcome to the club.
Whatever the origins of COVID or the state of vaccinations, our leaders are engaged in something nefarious, and the likes of Piers Morgan and all the other dumbasses jump on the holy-than-thou bandwagon so we don't forget who they are instead of doing what they ought to be doing and asking hard questions of the people in charge.
Ghost of Adelaide says, I don't trust any health expert or their advice unless they have demonstrated they have at least acknowledged the existence of ivermectin.
All I hear is mask up, social distance, get the vaccine.
But what about if you have COVID? What are you supposed to take?
Or do they want you to sit at home until you're ready for hospital?
Well, there's another thing, isn't it?
I mean, there was a spate of articles spammed out of people saying, and it was always the same story, but with a different person being like, oh, so-and-so was an anti-vaxxer, and now they're in hospital and died of COVID, and they were begging for the vaccine on the deathbed.
It's like, okay, but there are actually drugs you could give them that might help, and if they're dying of COVID, why not?
Why would they beg for the vaccine?
Yeah, I know.
It doesn't make any sense.
Again, it seems like a totally astroturfed It reminds me of religious stories about well-known atheists, and they're like, yeah, they called for God in their deathbed, so there's no evidence for it.
Yeah, I mean, that's why Christopher Hitchens was like, I'm not going to.
Yonala says, we're going to see a lot of attack helicopters popping up in Scotland now, or famous figures from history rising from the dead.
Alex says, finally, an emoji for me and my beer belly.
That's right, the fat dads of the world need to appropriate that emoji.
yeah Robert says how dare the government force me to come out as super straight I didn't want to have to come out I wanted to stay in the closet because my sexuality isn't the most important thing about me but now I've been forced to I strongly believe I will face discrimination because of my sexuality That's true.
And if you do, you've always got the law on your side.
Bucketbot says, if we have birthing people and people with uteruses, do we have impregnators and people with prostates?
Why do the woke prefer such dehumanizing language?
It's because the old language that we use contains moral judgments.
It's thick.
It has some smart shilling there, so go check out the Thick Podcast.
Thick Concepts Podcast.
It explains why.
Anyway.
Premium on LotusEaters.com.
It is, and it's very good.
SmallLLibertarian.
Whoa.
That Air Force video, not the inclusivity crap.
What's with the editing and music?
It looks like a video an influencer would make for a crypto scam.
Yes, but then that's who they think they're appealing to.
It's not going to work.
Anyway, Michelle says, morally the right thing to do, as if having to shoot someone is morally inclusive.
Wait, set up soldiers for moral injury slash PTSD. Idiots.
Completely correct.
I just love the tank.
It's just like, we will not stand for racism.
What are you planning to do exactly?
That makes me just want to stop pathologizing our enemies as racists.
I mean, if that's what gets the Millennials and Gen Zs up off their arses in fighting wars, the French are really racist.
And I can prove that statistically, actually.
Just saying.
Do you see the Taliban hanging out with the Chinese this morning?
No.
It's really weird.
I bet it is.
Because the Americans are pulling out, basically, we've all lost, so we're out of here.
And they've taken a bunch of land, and the Taliban co-founders were pictured with the Chinese foreign minister talking about the next steps in the war, and it's like, obviously the Chinese are backing them.
But I was thinking, like, isn't this the worst optics you could ever have, if you're the Taliban, to stand next to people with Muslim concentration camps?
I mean, it looks quite bad to me.
Like, I'm not an Islamist, but...
And not only that, it's like, okay, right, the Americans, the great Satan, obviously, duh.
But do we trust the Chinese government?
Well, the Americans don't have concentration camps of Muslims.
Yeah, but it doesn't even matter.
Let's assume that the Chinese don't, you know, for some reason.
It doesn't even matter.
Are you going to trust the Chinese government?
Like, whatever deal you make with the Chinese government, you're like, yeah, they'll hold to that.
They're not going to break that.
They're not going to backstab us.
They're not going to do anything wrong.
They're good guys.
I mean, who would do that?
You'd have to be a lunatic to do that.
Anyway, Bryden says, Hi lads, all these pronouns in the Scottish government has been going on for a few years.
My brother-in-law was telling me how a friend of his, a PE teacher, had to refer to pupils by their preferred pronouns, even when it came to some of the lad lads obviously joking and trying to get one over on him.
If he doesn't, he'll be disciplined.
Absolute minefield for him.
Thank God I finished school just before this nonsense started.
Yeah, no kidding.
I think this may be one of the situations where it's appropriate to be like, I'm not doing it.
I'm just not, I'm sorry.
Fire me then, I guess.
I wouldn't do the job if it was me.
I don't know your financial situation or everything, but for me, I'd just be like, no, this is a line.
Yeah.
North Antonian Knight says, TikTok is increasingly the new home for all of those who have once genuinely needed to be kept in an asylum.
Heathcliff says, if you have so many rules about how I should interact with you, why should I bother?
That's exactly...
Speak One's Mind says, so right-wingers get Carl's woo.
Should we give capitalism?
What should we give capitalism?
Dun-dun-dun.
Yeah, yeah, the woo, right-wing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We need something for when they say capitalism.
Dun-dun-dun kind of works.
Yeah, it does.
You know, capitalists did this.
Dun-dun-dun.
Long Talks on the Neach says, this TikTok sexual identity nonsense can be much simpler.
If you use TikTok, you should just sexually identify it as a mistake.
Then we can all move on with our day.
North Antonio night again.
If that woman is agender, then wearing makeup and having a feminine hairstyle is gender appropriation.
Ooh, what a bitch.
Kyle says, I thought allosexuals were people who were attracted to British people.
You mean French people.
Henry says...
They can't say hello, can they?
No.
Henry says, not sure what's worse, the people in the TikTok videos, the Lyft music remix of the Soviet national anthem, or the fact that none of these people can write music that rhymes or flows at all.
Even if you ignore the cringe content, the presentation is just nails on a chalkboard.
Yes.
Yeah, it's one of the weird things.
Like, all the Western communists have no idea about aesthetics.
I mean, communism is basically a repudiation of aesthetics.
Sure, but like the Red Army Choir or the different groups that have come out of the cultural scene of these communist countries, like the stage-managed obvious nonsense, they have way better aesthetics than anything of the Western communists, and they've got much less wealth to deal with.
That's true.
Good point.
I'll think about it.
It's amazing.
So, right, that's the end of the comments.
I guess we'll end the show because we do have some other stuff to do because I don't know what else to do if we don't have any more comments.
Well, I mean, we might have more comments.
Usually we have, like, millions of them.
Yeah, my thing hasn't updated, so you can check the podcast page, but I don't have a laptop.
What do you think of the aesthetics thing?
Well, the Soviet aesthetics.
Do you think I'm just reading into it too much?
Even the North Koreans like the...
No, no, no.
They obviously have more concern for it.
Honestly, I think it's young people who have never thought about these things.
Sure, but I mean, Jason Neuro or whatever, I'm not trying to have a...
I'll have a dig at him.
Like, the Mohawk.
It's not aesthetic.
That's not very nice.
Well, it's just not aesthetic, is it?
It's not very comrade.
I don't see a problem with his...
Is his Mohawk anti-communist?
I would say so.
Why would it not be?
Oh, I never thought about it.
Why would it be?
I don't know.
There's just something about it.
It's very bourgeois.
Well, okay, that's fair.
But are you saying they have no mohawks in North Korea?
Of course they don't.
They don't even have blue jeans.
What are you talking about?
Let alone hair dye and hair gel.
Okay, fair enough.
I'm just going to take some of the statements off the website.
Yeah, go ahead.
Drink the thick milk, you bigot.
Yeah, I suppose that is the standard.
As long as the Chinese give me food and arms, why not trust them on things where you trust a person as far as you can throw them?
I mean, you mentioned that they're lunatics to trust the Chinese.
I mean, it is the Taliban.
Good point, good point.
What are you dealing with?
A bunch of absolute mad people around the world having to deal with each other now.
I love it.
Well, wokeism came from France, so the Germans were trying to kill it before the Americans got hold of it.
No, I feel like the Germans were trying to push it out more.
When are we talking about it here?
Because it's a consequence of World War II. Best Fallout game will be 76 after they fix the damn endless errors.
Oh, you wish.
No, come on.
Like, there are memes of people, it's like the, you know, fans of Fallout 3 trying to explain it's the best game, New Vegas trying to explain what's the best game, and you've got fans of, like, Fallout 76.
Where are they?
They're on them.
Yeah.
Like, I'm sorry, but 76 is just such a dumpster fire.
I mean, the obvious answer here is Fallout 2 is the best game, but anyway...
I'm not a fan of the style, look down.
Yeah, right.
I don't do it.
Yeah, but that's because you're, what, 23?
Too much of a zoomer.
Exactly.
I like my first persons.
Can we just ban social media?
God, I wish.
Tick-tock-de-lenta-est.
Yes, communism is a utopia.
The problem with a utopia is it's the only way for it to exist is to do genocide.
Hang on, hang on.
Do you know what utopia means?
I don't know the definition, actually.
It's a Greek word that means nowhere.
Oh, really?
Literally, it means nowhere.
That can't be true.
Come on, what?
Do you think I'm wrong on this?
If that's true, that's really funny.
Of course it's true.
An imagined place or state of things.
Yeah, but what's the literal translation?
It comes from a Greek word that means nowhere.
Yeah, not place.
Wow, okay.
I never do that.
Well, there we go.
That's really funny.
So those people going, oh yeah, this is...
I mean, like, Kropotkin openly calls himself a utopianist in his Conquest of Bread.
And it's like, so he's a nowhere-ist.
Great.
I really like Conquest of Grud.
We should do a book club on it just because it'll be so much fun.
It'll be easy.
Yeah, we will go through all of these.
I want to do the Communist Manifesto at some point as well.
But currently, the next book club I'm doing, Beau's doing The Road to Wigan Pier.
I'm doing Scruton's Where We Are.
And what's the one that you're reading?
The Long March to the Institutions, the one Peter Whittle gave you.
It's not bad.
It's not bad.
It's got some good points.
So we've got three book clubs coming up in the next month or so.
Also, I need to do the famine thing.
Yes, yes we do.
But we've got lots of book clubs coming because we're reading a lot of stuff.
People simping for GTA V in the comments.
But I think we're over time now.
Yeah, okay.
