	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Logos leaders for the 9th of September 2021.
	I'm joined by Karl.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about Boris's diversity hires, the TERFs are now fascists, and also 12 Reasons You're a Single Woman, which is another dadist segment.
	Yeah, but there's a lot of cope in there, and we need to dispel that cope.
	Right.
	Cope has to be abolished.
	Anti-copium action.
	Yes.
	So a couple of things to mention first on the website.
	So the first thing to mention is the live event.
	I don't know what percentage of tickets we sold now, but for people who have not heard for some reason...
	Seven tickets left for Saturday?
	Is that correct, John?
	Yes.
	Okay, there we go.
	So we've got 24th and 25th September.
	24th, larger venue.
	25th is slightly smaller.
	I finished one speech I'm going to do for one of them, which is going to be good.
	Not going to spoil it.
	The 24th is when we're going to be having lots of people who are guests of mine, people I know, who will be coming.
	So you definitely want to come to that one, to be honest.
	Yeah, also we'll go drinking after that one as well.
	Yes.
	But yeah, you might want to watch our Roger Scruton's Where We Are book club as well because we don't have a projector for the 24th, do we?
	No, we do.
	Oh, right, okay.
	That's interesting.
	But either way, you want to sign up and watch the book club because it'll be relevant to my speech, probably.
	So yes, that'll be interesting.
	Probably following on from the proposed Rose to Trumpton video I did the other day because it seems that that needs a bit of There's stuff that can be built on there, because everyone seemed to really like that speech.
	I didn't think it was that great, but everyone was like, oh, that was brilliant.
	I was like, thanks very much.
	You know what's really nice about the AA conference is when Poe the person, and a few of them, were saying, you know, I live in Trompton.
	You can just make it.
	I'd love to, like, a mini-doc.
	Like, you know how Spike did one on Dankula, for example?
	Like, you just go up and just go to visit Trompton or something?
	Like, just don't tell anyone where anything is.
	And just, like, visit a bunch of places that like Trompton.
	Anyway, sorry.
	Last one I mentioned is, of course, the psychological impact of lockdowns.
	This is by Josh.
	So him having his psychological background can speak with expertise on this.
	This was originally like a video we were going to do, but he's repurposed it as an article, which is premium.
	So go and sign up to lotuseaters.com to get access to that.
	Otherwise, let's get into Boris's diversity hires.
	I hate it.
	I'm really mad.
	I have had to cut this down because it's just too much.
	Boris is hiring more diversity hires because he's a conservative, and I thought we'd start this off with conservative Chris Rose here making a point.
	So he's got a golden statue of a cow with NHS written into it.
	Yeah, it's the golden calf.
	Yeah.
	Morning, everyone.
	On this glorious day, I thank the Lord for allowing me another day to protect the NHS. Oh, where would I be without this magnificent purpose in my life?
	I can't wait until Moses comes down and freaks out about this.
	It's a great point by him, though, which is that in the UK we treat our healthcare system as God at this point.
	And if we go to the next one, what do we do?
	None of us would be alive if it wasn't for the sacred NHS. Yes, who spend their days doing things like this now.
	Instead of treating people, they have the blog, Dear White People in the UK. We went over this last time.
	Did they remove this blog?
	No, it's still up.
	I was looking for it this morning.
	I couldn't find it.
	I believe it's still up.
	Might be worth double-checking.
	If not, I'm sure there'll be another one soon, so don't worry about that.
	But the people who wrote it should have been fired.
	That's the point.
	Speaking of the people who wrote it, if we go to the next one, we spoke about this as well.
	The diversity and inclusion heads that the NHS is advertising for, about £75,000 a pop for each one of them.
	There's, what is it, 200 and something trusts in the UK, so if you put this across...
	Hang on a second.
	What's this head of equality, diversity and inclusion salary?
	Is that for...
	$47,000 to $53,000 a year.
	That's one of them.
	Good God.
	But then there's the one below it, $61,000 to $70,000.
	And then the one below it is about the same as well.
	But there were a whole list of these.
	There were about 200 trusts in the UK. Up to $75,000 a year?
	You're probably looking at about $16 million just on salaries of the heads of each one of these trusts.
	Abolish every single one of these positions.
	But we couldn't cut that, could we, Boris?
	Instead of raising taxes?
	Unbelievable.
	We couldn't.
	So we go to the next one here.
	There's a Moron MP who went on Times Radio and defended this position by refusing to admit that maybe the Conservative government shouldn't be funding leftism with taxpayers' money.
	Let's play the first clip.
	Is this money going to the front line?
	Is it right that the NHS, during all the crisis that you've been talking about, has a job going at the moment for head of diversity, equality and inclusion with a salary of up to £71,000 a year.
	The starting salary for a nurse on the front line is £24,000.
	There is a job in the NHS at the moment going for £71,000, head of diversity, equality and inclusion.
	Is that a good use of money?
	Well, I don't set clearly the individual salaries that...
	I know, but do you think it's a good use of money?
	...rolls like that.
	So I don't think I should be drawn on one specific position like that.
	I'd say what I am concerned is when I see briefings on exceptionally high levels of pay, for instance, which I see if chief executives are being paid at unusually high level.
	And I think the NHS does really need to set out its arguments For when it is paying higher than expected levels of pay, there has to be a really good reason.
	But I also recognise you do clearly need to pay people the appropriate amount for roles that involve a lot of responsibility.
	Pathetic response.
	Addresses nothing.
	So zero for diversity and inclusion since you wouldn't give an answer on that.
	Because that's what I think the appropriate amount for those positions is.
	Yeah, I love how she...
	More than that, you're the f***ing government.
	You're the ones who decide how much money the NHS gets.
	So tell them how much they'll pay.
	God damn it!
	But also the fact that she's like, well, if it's a chief executive, I have criticism of salaries, but otherwise I'm not going to comment on salaries.
	These people are heads of the department.
	They're not nobodies, and they're getting paid tons.
	And the best part of this is Spike.com actually looked into this.
	50% of the medical staff are white.
	86% of the country is white.
	So these heads of diversity and inclusion, they've ever done their jobs.
	Literally don't need diversity is the solution if you're using leftist logic of diversity quotas.
	If you want representation.
	We're using the Conservative Party's logic, I guess.
	Anyway, so we go to the next one.
	This got worse.
	So this is Guido Forks reporting the NHS's enormous executive salaries.
	Those ones she would only ever comment on.
	Wouldn't comment on the ones previously.
	So she's dying to comment now about how this is a waste of money.
	The site explains how the new executives will help lead, quote, new partnerships between the organisations that meet health and care needs across the area and plan a way that improves population health and reduces inequalities between different groups.
	Why do I care about that at all?
	You're going to pay for it.
	That's what you're going to do.
	God!
	Sorry, 42 positions of these managers, getting paid up to £270,000.
	I love it.
	Abolish the NHS. Let's go to the next one, just to prove that this is real if it's still up.
	So these are all the rules on the NHS's website for this sort of thing.
	You can go look yourself and give them a read in your own time or apply.
	Up to 200 grand for a chief executive of the ICS's integrated care board, Humber Coast and Veil.
	Yeah, so I estimated just for these positions that they're...
	So they say that all of these positions were going to be made if the bill passes to fund the NHS by taxing people.
	Oh, that's where my money's going.
	Yeah, and the bill has now passed, so...
	The NHS were literally like, yeah, we're just going to piss your money off the wall if this bill passes.
	And the government was like, we'll go for that.
	Go for that.
	This is nine million pounds just on these salaries alone being pissed off the wall.
	I hate it.
	Ridiculous If we go to an example job So if we go to the next one here just some of the descriptions in here the description includes Your job is to be politically astute and an exceptional communicator This will be demonstrated through a track record of building trusted partnerships Which have driven a practical community-led change.
	I should have applied to that if If it requires literally no medical training whatsoever.
	You have to be a politically astute person who has trusted...
	A leftist.
	This is what it is.
	It's a political position.
	So, to be a leftist activist all your life.
	Fantastic.
	You will have a great personal integrity and expect this of others.
	Be politically correct.
	You will actively champion diversity, inclusion, and equality of opportunity for all.
	Great.
	Fantastic.
	Communism.
	Right, gotcha.
	They do have a quality of opportunity for all, which is fantastic, rather than a quality of outcome for all.
	But then, of course, they're also complaining about health inequalities, so whatever words need to be said, I guess.
	We are passionate about creating an inclusive workspace that promotes the values of diversity.
	This is what you're applying for.
	This is another 9 million.
	I don't understand why the Conservatives haven't banned all of this stuff.
	And the NHS said before they voted for this bill, this is what we're going to spend it on.
	We're literally going to piss it up on the wall on salaries for diversity hires.
	Right.
	This is actually annoying.
	Yeah, it's really bloody annoying, the fact that we're going to pay for it as well.
	So if we go to the next one here, I think I was mentioning about $9 million is what it's all going to cost.
	Fantastic.
	If we go to the next one, we have Boris the Pillock.
	And this really annoyed me.
	So this is him tweeting, our mission is to tackle the NHS COVID backlogs and fix social care at the same time.
	Why?
	That's Labour's mission.
	Why the...
	Why?
	Well, you do have to fix the backlogs.
	Well, there wouldn't have been backlogs if you hadn't locked down the entire country.
	That's what this levy will do, the tax.
	This is the right, reasonable and responsible course of action.
	Disagree.
	Tax people instead of just making some cuts.
	Breaking your manifesto pledges and imposing the Labour manifesto on us.
	Yeah, there's all that.
	But the main point for me is like, look, there are cuts you can make.
	We can point to them.
	We have their names.
	We know what they're doing with their lives, which is writing dear white people of the UK from the NHS. These are just administrators.
	If you want to get rid of the backlog, you fire them being paid $270,000 or $75,000 or whatever the hell else.
	And you hire some doctors and nurses who cost far less.
	Yes.
	Far, far less than these people.
	Yes.
	I think I mentioned a nurse is on like $40,000 or something.
	No, $24,000.
	Oh, jeez, 24 grand.
	Yeah, I mean, how many could you hire just with firing one of those £270,000?
	Literally dozens.
	Yeah, so that's how you deal with the backlog, and nope, no, he doesn't want to do that.
	The thing is, Jim Hacker was smarter than this, from Yes Minister.
	So this is me and my mate, just to demonstrate the point as clear as possible for any Conservative MP watching this video.
	Let's play this clip.
	And this is Jay Theatre.
	How much do all this cost?
	Together with radiotherapy and intensive care, two and a quarter million.
	Doesn't it appalling you that it's not being used?
	Oh, no.
	A very good thing in some ways.
	It prolongs its life, cuts down running costs.
	But there are no patients.
	No, but the essential work of the hospital still has to go on.
	Aren't patients the essential work of the hospital?
	Running an organisation of 500 people is a big job, Minister.
	But if they weren't here, they wouldn't be here.
	What?
	No, Mrs Rogers, it won't do.
	Either you must get some patients into this hospital or I shall close it.
	Yes, well, Minister, in the course of time...
	No, no, not in the course of time, Mrs Rogers.
	Now, get rid of 300 of your people, get some doctors and nurses and get some patients.
	Now, look here.
	Without those 300 people, this hospital just wouldn't function.
	Oh, you think it's functioning now?
	What?
	Minister, it's one of the best-run hospitals in the country.
	It's up for the Florence Nightingale Award.
	What, pray, is that?
	It's won by the most hygienic hospital in the area.
	No, Mrs Rogers, I've said my last word.
	300 staff must go.
	You mean 300 jobs lost?
	We couldn't do any serious surgery with just a skeleton medical staff, anyway.
	Well, don't do any serious surgery.
	I don't care if you only do varicose veins, hernias and piles.
	Do something.
	Do you mean 300 jobs lost?
	Yes, I do, Mr Fraser.
	A hospital is not a source of employment.
	It is a place for healing of the sick.
	Well, it's a source of employment for my members.
	And you want to put them out of work, do you?
	Is that what you call a compassionate society?
	I'd rather be compassionate to patients than to your members.
	Right.
	We'll come out on strike.
	What's the matter?
	Who can it harm?
	Do, please.
	Come out on strike.
	The sooner the better.
	And take the administrators with you while you're at it.
	Then we shan't have to pay you.
	I can't get over this.
	I would dream of having a Conservative Party that was like that.
	Yeah, and this is the meme.
	For people who don't know who are foreigners, Yes Minister is a political satire of British politics.
	And Jim Hackers always played off as this middling, midwit, moron minister.
	And even he's smarter than Boris at this point.
	Yeah.
	I mean, God, imagine, I mean, like, he's also meant to be, like, broadly spineless.
	And imagine a conservative with that much spine taking it to the NHS. And realpolitik, do that.
	And then when they turn around and be like, we're going to go on strike, this industry will die without diversity.
	Bye-bye.
	Enjoy.
	I don't care what you're going to do.
	Anyway.
	So let's go on to the argument he made about COVID-19.
	So this is just a graph just to dispel that myth.
	So if we can scroll down on this graph here.
	You can see NHS funding, and as you can see, always increasing because it always bloody does.
	It's a black hole.
	Yeah, and then you have the core funding, so that's the major funding, and then the COVID-19 funding.
	So the idea that they didn't have money or they need money because of COVID, they already got it.
	It's an even bigger black hole than it was before.
	Yeah, they threw in, what was that, $63 billion in 2020, $22 billion in 2021 so far, just to make sure that they have the funding they need for that, which is reasonable.
	You've got to fund it for...
	Yeah, but how sustainable does anyone think this is?
	I mean, look at it just continually going up, and you can look at the longer graph as well that goes back into the 70s, and it just continually goes up.
	And it's like, okay, how long can this go on for?
	With inflation and whatnot, I don't know what the statistics are.
	But it is a black hole, as you say.
	And the fact that he's like, oh, well, we need money now because they haven't had money because of the pandemic.
	Unbelievable amounts of increase in funding.
	You can see it in calculated, adjusted terms.
	There are graphs out there that I have seen in calculated, adjusted terms.
	And it is just continually going like that.
	Anyway, let's move on.
	So what's the leftist response to all of this?
	Jeremy Corbyn, tax the rich.
	Oh, well, what a surprise that Jeremy Corbyn would say that.
	Yeah, let's go to the next one.
	Jeremy Corbyn.
	Can we be sure they do pay taxes?
	Is rich, by the way.
	Oh, yeah, good for you.
	Three million pounds.
	Ah, but no, we're talking about billionaires, Califf.
	Not millionaires.
	Yeah.
	Although he is kind of right.
	I do hate that they decided to tax payroll tax instead of going for something that would, you know, be proportional to the people who use it or something like that.
	Sure.
	Right?
	Which, no, whatever.
	Anyway, so we move on from this.
	So, the NHS promoting more gender ideology that I found.
	So, fantastic.
	Fantastic.
	When someone is born, a healthcare professional lists them as male or female, depending on what their genitals look like.
	This is known as someone's assigned sex at birth.
	I like the use of language here.
	So the assigned, as if the Doctor has delivered it to them.
	No, the Doctor is merely reporting what reality appears to have actually been.
	But I mean...
	It's not assigned...
	Yeah.
	They've also changed it to assigned sex instead of assigned gender, as John correctly points out.
	So, how someone feels about themselves, whether it's male, female, or a mix of both or neither, is known as gender identity.
	That's right, that part that you literally don't need to give a damn about at all.
	This is what we're paying for, lads.
	Let's go to the next one.
	So if we have more from this catalogue of nonsense.
	So we have the NHS talking about non-binary, agender, fluid gender, because the NHS is literally Tumblr at this point.
	It actually is.
	It gets more Tumblr, if you don't believe me.
	Let's go to the next one for the pronouns.
	Different pronouns.
	They have he, him, she, her, they, them, you know, the English ones.
	And then they have the alien ones.
	The, them, ze, ze.
	Calling them the alien ones is actually great, because literally, ze, ze is what I'd expect the xenomorphs to identify as.
	Yeah, I mean, it's literally spelled with zeds and x's.
	We don't use those letters in English very often.
	Don't call her the alien queen, now she's the alien king.
	Pronoun ze, ze.
	God damn it!
	Keep going with this crap.
	I don't know how to get through to anyone watching this.
	Like, this isn't a small deal.
	I know people are like, oh, it's a 1% tactic.
	No, this thrill that broke the camel's back is unbelievable.
	And it's not a 1% tactic.
	It's 1% more than it was, so actually it's a 10% increase.
	So the media is actually misrepresenting how much of an increase it is.
	It's also twice, because it's on the employer and the employee.
	Yes.
	And it's for this crap.
	Yeah, thank you conservative MPs.
	Very conservative.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Email your conservative MP. Email them.
	The NHS is also just lying about the law, it seems.
	Here the NHS is telling confused young men that they can go into women's toilets, changing rooms, and safe spaces.
	If anyone objects, report them to the police.
	Yep.
	This was just not true.
	So they say in here, the NHS, the Equality Act 2010 is a law which says everyone has the right to be treated fairly, equally, and to be respected.
	Gotta repeal that.
	Your preferred name and pronoun should be used and respected.
	I found no evidence that that's law.
	Should?
	Says who?
	It says in the Equality Act that you must treat people with different gender identities equal to the law, but the idea that you can enforce your pronouns regardless of what they are.
	No.
	No, so it's just a legal lie.
	You can use changing rooms and toilets, which match your gender identity.
	The Conservative Party's position on this, as Liz Truss has demonstrated, and the government's position is no.
	That's not law either.
	It's illegal for people to call you offensive names slash words.
	So if I call someone a dunce, that could be offensive.
	Is that illegal?
	Only if you call them a trans dunce.
	Right, okay.
	I won't use the word trans dunce.
	I love that.
	It's great.
	If your rights are ignored because of your gender identity, this could be a hate crime or incident.
	You can report the hate crime at such and such.
	Thank you, NHS. I wonder how many hate incidents I've got.
	If you're wondering where all this nonsense comes from, if we go to the next link on here, you have LGBT Stokes NHS who are reducing the Rainbow Guide.
	So you can go read that full thing in your own time.
	Expressly political.
	There were tons of these, and I say were because if we go to the next one here, we have the Rainbow Guide, so that's the full PDF, and we go to the next one.
	The website with them all on is just gone.
	Good.
	After people started noticing they were producing just factually false information, legally false information, or just producing nonsense, it disappeared.
	Again, your tax money at work.
	Don't know what that's about, but it is real.
	If we go to the next one here, you can see the link there for the website is in their bio, so enjoy that.
	But it's gone.
	Sure, I'll be back.
	Don't worry.
	So if we carry on, there's more of this.
	I love that there are literally NPCs in the background, though.
	I know.
	Like, smiling, pre-programmed NPCs who've got not an original thought between them.
	There's this new, like, government style of humans, which...
	Yes.
	I mean, they look creepy as well.
	The little black eyes and big creepy smile.
	It's like, okay, that's a human.
	Honest.
	Christ on a bite.
	Also, why is the trans person there got a beard?
	Moving on.
	I don't want a trans person.
	There's more of this.
	So, moving on.
	Let's go to the next one.
	We the People, NHS website.
	Morning, our NHS people.
	Are you ready for day two of hashtag Pride in the NHS week?
	When's Pride Month again?
	I don't know, but every single person involved in this should be fired.
	It's just Pride Week in the NHS. In a month that has nothing to do with pride.
	Pride never ends, seriously.
	Why are they promoting ideology using my money?
	And I love how you can see the flag there.
	It's the pincer movement.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's coming from both sides.
	Again, racial pride.
	The trans cannae flag.
	Conservatives, if anyone's listening, go to the Parliament and ask the Labour Party what they think of segregating black and brown people in their flags.
	See what their response is, and then get them to defend it.
	In public.
	I'm pro.
	That's right, I'm Labour.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so if we carry on, we have conservative propaganda in response to all this.
	This is...
	Infuriating.
	I hate this so much.
	So, it's a Conservative Party account.
	Verify checkmark.
	Alert.
	Labour has no plan on social care and voted against our plan to fund it.
	That's right.
	More socialist than Labour.
	So, the Conservatives are like, yeah, we should raise taxes on people so that we can fund wokeism with the NHS. Could make some cuts.
	No, no, no.
	We're Conservatives.
	We don't make cuts to wokeism.
	We'd never do that.
	Because we're Labour.
	Literally, they are proposing that, yes, we're more Labour than Labour.
	I love the way they're positioning Keir Starmer as the sensible moderate here.
	It's such a self-dunk.
	I don't know how they don't see it.
	We're going to outflank Labour from the left.
	Why?
	What's wrong with you?
	Anyway, so let's go to the next one here.
	Just a little meme.
	Why are you Labour?
	Every time.
	Why are you Labour?
	There's no answer.
	There'll never be an answer.
	No.
	And then the last one here is just something I found particularly interesting.
	A Tory MP has said he goes home and cries to his partner and does not know what a Tory is anymore.
	Great, he can give me an email.
	Send me an email.
	Whoever the hell you are.
	Contact at lotus.com.
	I'll talk to you personally and explain what a Tory is supposed to be and what they're not now.
	I'll talk to you personally.
	I'll take time out of my goddamn day for free.
	There was a group, I think, of like six Tory MPs who ended up voting against this because the whips did their thing.
	The whips did their thing, so it's like there's 50-odd who are usually normal, but they're like, no, you will vote for this or you will vote for this.
	Goes home and cries.
	Yes, I know.
	Cries.
	Weep.
	I don't know what a conservative is.
	I know.
	I know you don't.
	Because they're looking at their own party and I think they have a similar situation to us where they're just like, what the hell is going on?
	Yes.
	Like, what the hell happened to this place?
	We voted based.
	What is this?
	And he got taken over by Jeremy Corbyn somehow.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it really is unbelievable.
	Goes home and cries.
	Adults, members of parliament who are conservatives crying because they don't know what a Tory is.
	Welcome to Britain in 2021.
	But there are a few of these kind of conservatives that I am seeing around.
	They do exist out in the wilderness.
	Oh, weeping conservatives.
	No, not weeping, but I mean like Desmond Suede or Peter Stone.
	No, no, no, I think we should call them the weeping conservatives.
	No, because they're not.
	No, but that actually has a really good ring to it.
	Yeah, but they're also not.
	Like, they're just the kind of people who are just utterly depressed in a sense of just being like, what the hell?
	What the hell is wrong with this place?
	No, but that's exactly what I'm saying.
	The weeping Conservatives, who are just the ones who don't know what Conservatives are.
	They're not weeping about that.
	They are weak.
	Look at them.
	They're literally voting against the bill.
	Big deal.
	They're the ones trying to do the work here.
	They should be seceding from the party.
	And go where?
	Wherever.
	Found a new party.
	They should be chaining themselves, protesting.
	They should be doing something other than going, okay, we'll carry on.
	Yeah, I do like that they're going out and giving complaints, but they should be more.
	Oh, yeah, like that's enough.
	Well, what can they do?
	That's the thing.
	I've got sympathy from them.
	Succeed from the party.
	Leave it.
	Resign in protest in disgrace because they did nothing up until this point.
	Throw eggs at Boris across the parliament.
	I don't know.
	Piss off, you communists.
	Whatever you have to do.
	Stop crying to your parliament.
	I don't want to conserve to us anymore.
	Man up!
	But it is utterly pathetic, and I wish the Conservatives would just do their fucking job, for Christ's sake.
	Like, Jim Hacker looks more competent than these people.
	Yes.
	Let's move on.
	Goddammit.
	Anyway.
	Incidentally, this kind of ties in, in a way.
	So let's talk about how feminism was destroyed from within, because this is really quite manifestly obvious, and it's shocking just how open the people who have destroyed feminism have been about it.
	Personally, I'm not a feminist.
	I've never been a feminist.
	I don't really like feminism because I don't think it seems to the world accurately.
	So I'm not sad to see it be destroyed, but it's just funny to see how this has happened.
	So you get examples like this, right?
	So the BBC put this up the other day.
	Oh, feminist collages in London, tackling violence against women with slogan posters.
	And so they complain that a number of women in the UK that have been killed or suspected of being killed by men...
	In 2021 has reached 100, according to data collated by Counting Dead Women, a femicide census project.
	So they've gone out and posted a bunch of colleges going, oh, we the women are the tremendous victims of violence.
	I think they kept using the word femicide.
	Yes.
	As if killing women is some kind of like, you know, killing a holy cow or something.
	Yes.
	It's better than just normal homicide.
	But the thing is, right, if we, I mean, it's just cringe, right?
	I mean, what even is a woman?
	How did you collate these things?
	No, I really want to know.
	Yep.
	How do you know that it wasn't men being killed?
	And how do you know that the men that you're categorizing as being killed aren't actually women?
	Well, the male killers aren't women.
	Exactly.
	How did you check?
	You didn't check any of this, right?
	You just completely abolished all of the assumptions that modern feminism operates under.
	Because it's all bull.
	And you know it, right?
	But it's also total cringe, right?
	This started in Paris, came to London.
	So brilliant.
	Another foreign import that makes no sense.
	But it's total cringe.
	And there's no impetus to it, right?
	Because if we just look at the murder rates of 2020, if we go to the next one, there were 695 victims of homicide in the year ending March 2020, 47 more, 7% more than the previous year, which includes a particular Grey's Lorry incident where 39 people were killed due to human trafficking.
	So if you exclude that, it's actually not that much more than the previous year.
	But the homicide rate is 11.7 people per million.
	The rate for men is 17 per million and the rate for women is 6 per million.
	So three times higher for men than women.
	Also, this is expected that women are lower universally.
	But also the UK is not high on the percentage of countries.
	Yeah, the UK is also much, much lower than almost every other country, frankly.
	And so this means that there's just no particular impetus for this.
	It's not that women are being killed in dramatic or unusual numbers.
	In fact, they're being killed in much fewer numbers than before.
	It's just there was one high-profile case, which is the Sarah Erevar case, which is what they were protesting on the previous one, which is one high-profile case.
	And again, it wasn't even just the man doing it.
	I think it was the man and the woman both involved.
	I think she got let go in the end.
	Did she?
	Yeah.
	But anyway, so, you know, looking at the rest of the data for the sake of it, two-thirds of these homicide victims are white, 105 of them are black, so 443 were white, 105 are black, which means that black people were massively overrepresented in people who were killed.
	Guess what the most common method of homicide was, Callum?
	Stabbing.
	That's right.
	Sharp implements.
	So...
	We come to a position where it's incredibly unlikely that a woman will be killed, but it's far more likely and too likely that young black men will be killed with edged weapons.
	And so young English women complaining about women being killed is a vanity project.
	They're literally the safest people in the country.
	And they're like, oh, women are under threat.
	No, they're not.
	There's a genuine lack of authentic problems.
	And so this is why the feminist movement had to expand.
	And you can see this in articles like this.
	Now, this is just one example of probably tens of thousands that I could have picked from, where the drumbeat from the intersectional feminists was, oh, feminist solidarity empowers everyone.
	The feminist movement must be trans-inclusive.
	This is amazing as well.
	What's the rationale for this, right?
	They say, it feels distinctly modern and unprecedented that we find ourselves in this obliterative debate where one side can't prevail until the other is destroyed.
	Are women women or trans women women?
	That's the question, right?
	Where all the values of the movement are parked so we can fight over issues that are so technical there's no room for compromise, yet so abstract that there is no space for human beings.
	None of this was settled in science.
	Just so you know, right?
	There was no definitive treaty that we all signed.
	We all just slowly decided that binary debates are interesting but boring to live.
	Solidarity is boring to talk about but fascinating and empowering to live.
	Solidarity is not exclusive or pedantic.
	It is compassionate and fights for repression wherever it finds it.
	That is its lifeblood.
	That's why trans women are women.
	What absolute sophistry this is, right?
	So it's not based on science, and it's based on basically, you know, the left decided, everyone decided, and, you know, what happens if you disagree?
	Well, you get threats and violence, but we'll get to those in a minute, right?
	And so you get the example of the classic one at the moment is Mary Miller appearing in court.
	She appeared in court, what was it, last week, I think it was.
	She's been charged with a hate crime because being...
	A biologically essentialist feminist is illegal, or might be illegal in the UK. It appears to be illegal, and this court judgment will discover it, I suppose.
	But, yeah, so she was having a hearing, and a large demonstration took place outside in support of Miller, and there's growing international support for her.
	Meanwhile, Scotland's census will, for the first time, allow respondents to self-identify their sex, and that's what's being protested.
	As in, you can just identify as whatever you want.
	So, all of the men in Scotland could just identify as women, and there'd be a giant male genocide in Scotland, because men would cease to exist.
	But there'd be nothing, 100% women.
	Could be.
	Why not?
	What's wrong with that?
	What's the problem?
	Makes the census a joke.
	What's the point in having a census?
	If it's just like, oh, just write down what you feel like.
	Don't write down what you are.
	But anyway...
	The protesters, one of them who was attending the demonstration, asked police if wearing a t-shirt stating trans women are men would be illegal.
	The constable said that he was free.
	I don't know if it was a man.
	He was free to wear what he liked.
	But if it offended anyone and a complaint was made, he would have committed a hate crime.
	Which, as just for men and boys here put, that's an odd use of the word free.
	You're free to not offend men who identify as women.
	Or anyone who ideologically would take offence to that.
	Also, you're free until you offend someone.
	Yes.
	And then you're not free.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Not very free, right.
	And so this is TERFs being persecuted by the state.
	The campaign group Women Won't Weeshed, which means shut up.
	As a misogynist, I'm just like, oh god.
	No, I'm joking.
	I'm obviously not.
	So yes, this is being framed as a move to roll back women's rights, Marion Miller's supporters insist, hence the Handmaid's Tale TV series costume.
	Again, my favourite utopian fiction.
	This turning Scotland into Muck Gilead.
	Well, not entirely wrong in a way, actually.
	Nicola Sturgeon is a destroyer of women's rights, according to this argument.
	And anyway, we haven't got a result on this, so we'll see.
	I do love their perspective, though.
	They imagine the trans movement essentially made up of the meme from South Park.
	You know, was it strong woman?
	It's man.
	That's what it is.
	I can't remember the character's name, but there's that really hulking WWE wrestler.
	Yeah.
	It's like the It's Man meme.
	I mean, this is literally where this is going, right?
	And of course, this is all because of a tweet of a suffragette ribbon that was tied outside of a BBC studio that looked like a noose.
	It didn't.
	Which it didn't.
	It was obviously a ribbon.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Along the SMP's logo, that actually does look like a noose, but...
	Yeah, well, that's interesting, isn't it?
	But one of the activists said, women have the right to speak out on issues and matters that concern them.
	But do they, though?
	Do they?
	The state isn't sure, and there probably will be a guy that's wearing a dress that will be offended by it.
	And let me actually have an example of that.
	We can go to the next one.
	This was taken from one of the protests, where, if you can scroll down a bit, just so you can see this picture, right?
	Just look at the size difference between those two people, right?
	So this is a furious Edinburgh local screams witch at gender reform protesters outside Holyrood, which is the Scottish Parliament.
	Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Holyrood to protest the plans to reform the gender recognition law.
	But they were met with...
	Keep it on the picture.
	I want people to just keep this picture in mind, right?
	Where they were met with counter-demonstration from trans rights campaigners on the other side.
	In footage shot at the event, a local opposed to the protest, who is understand to identify as a transgender woman, is heard chanting the word witch at the protesters before another woman is heard responding, you are not one of us.
	At one point in the video, the furious woman screams which the woman on the right screams which of the woman on the left in the face of the protest before police can be seen getting involved.
	Look at the physical difference.
	Just look at that physical difference.
	If this were two men, I would be like, why are you doing this?
	You're intimidating and bullying them.
	Because of the obvious size difference.
	And so here we go.
	We've got someone who was born male and transitioned to become a woman is psychotically screeching at this other woman.
	So anyway, they of course are opposing the Gender Recognition Act.
	They're saying that it erodes women in our society.
	Yeah, but it erodes everything else as well, doesn't it?
	If there are no boundaries or borders and nothing makes sense, then everything's eroded, but of course we can only talk about women.
	But anyway...
	This carries on because it's not just in Scotland or anything like that.
	This is everywhere that this ideology is going.
	Sorry, I was looking up the image without the blur and it's worse.
	I couldn't find it, actually.
	I'll send it to you afterwards.
	Anyway, so the TERFs groups, which is the trans-exclusionary radical feminists, who I believe want to be called gender critical, but basically they're biologically essentialists.
	They think that to be a woman you have to be female.
	Like a Nazi or something, which is what they get called.
	Basically, there's a new group in America called Sovereign Women Speak.
	This is, again, in the United States, but these sort of groups popping up everywhere because they're like, hang on a second, we're not even women anymore, according to you guys.
	We don't really exist.
	How can we be feminists?
	How can we fight for women's rights if women's rights includes males?
	And that's a great question.
	Now shut up and get in jail.
	I thought we were both meant to have rights.
	No, we don't have rights.
	Don't be stupid.
	But anyway, what they notice is the problem is the increasing amount of violence coming from the trans rights protesters.
	This, talking about an author called Derek Jensen, who is an ally to this, the lady founded this called April Morrow, said, It's affected me personally at the university I teach at.
	I'm being forced to use pronouns, and if I don't, I will lose my job.
	I'm being forced into an ideology I don't believe in, or I become unemployed.
	Oof.
	That's a harsh turn of the wheel, isn't it?
	Because six years ago or something, it was the same thing for people who were just against feminism.
	And now it's for the feminists against transism.
	And who knows what it will be in six years from now.
	The trans rights people getting fired for not believing God knows what.
	Transracialism?
	Maybe.
	I think transracialism and transgenderism essentially mesh together pretty well.
	So it'll be a new thing that comes around on the wheel and then, boom, they'll be broken on it too.
	But they say, the next event I went to, I saw the same thing.
	It was a pattern.
	They do not want us speaking the truth.
	They want us to remain silent.
	They want to do everything in their power to keep us silent.
	They have the right to speak, but every time we try an event, they come and shut us down.
	It's very scary.
	As in, they are physically intimidating and very aggressive.
	You can see an example of this at the Wii Spa Brawl, of course.
	Where, I mean, Fox News doing some reporting here.
	Video shows a mob of people clad in dark clothes and masks, some wearing vests bearing the word press, mocking and chasing a man down the street.
	You can be seen wearing a t-shirt that reads, Obey Jesus.
	He was punched from behind at least once, and subsequent photos show him with blood running down his face and chest.
	There was brawls between...
	Trans protesters encounter, you know, normal people.
	And, you know, various violent brawls.
	Someone got stabbed, or two people got stabbed, in fact, on both sides by the same person.
	Don't even know.
	It's an absolute...
	American culture wars.
	Very normal place to be.
	Yeah, absolute chaos.
	But it seems that it was mostly the trans activists doing the initiating of violence because they were the ones who got kettled and arrested.
	The...
	Right-wing, dare we call them, counter-protesters or protesters, were not being arrested, presumably because the police are Nazis as well.
	But anyway, there were burning dumpsters and things like that.
	And even the leftist outlets had to describe it as a brawl.
	They couldn't be like, oh yeah, look at these evil right-wingers attacking our trans protesters.
	No, you started the fights.
	That's the way it is.
	And so, yes, they had to admit this in their article, but we'll carry on.
	In fact, no, I love the way they frame this, right?
	A protest against WeSpa was planned for Saturday morning by those who supported the woman who complained and were against the Spar's policy of protecting trans rights.
	The spa's policy.
	You mean California law?
	Yeah, the spa doesn't get a say in this.
	No.
	They don't get a say in that at all, right?
	But protesters who turned up to support the spa also turned up.
	And the dueling factions exchanged punches in the street, according to multiple journalists.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Exchange punches.
	I know it sounds like, come here, boy.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's what it was.
	It was very old-fashioned.
	But the thing is, what does this put the leftist activism in defence of now?
	Of course it's nonsense.
	Of course it's nonsense.
	So the trans woman who was showing off their female penis to children, young girls and women, in the women's area of the spa, has apparently had charges of indecent exposure filed against them, and apparently they're a serial sex offender, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
	Sources with knowledge of the case, but not authorized to speak publicly, say four women and a minor came forward to allege that Darren McGee Maraja was partially erect in the women's section of WeSpa.
	Besides being a suspect in this case, Miraja is facing multiple felony charges of indecent exposure over a separate incident in Los Angeles.
	Wow, what a shock!
	See, that would converge with the initial reporting on it, which is there were a bunch of different spas in the area that all had reviews as well from women being like, yeah, there was this guy in there who kept talking about how he had sex with women and trying to pick up chicks in the changing room and was totally trans, he sweared.
	Yep.
	And is apparently a sex pest in front of children.
	Maraja, who spoke exclusively to the Post, denies these allegations.
	So they're not true, Callum.
	And actually, she's the victim of transphobic harassment.
	You can't arrest me, I'm trans.
	Literally where we're getting to.
	And so let's revolve around to where the leftist thought leaders are on this.
	People like Judith Butler.
	I'll explain who Judith Butler is, well, in a second, in fact.
	But she did an interview with The Guardian, which was very spicy.
	Except the spiciness was redacted.
	So it's just a normal interview, right?
	And let's just go through the normal interview and then I'll tell you why it's been redacted.
	So she says we need to rethink the category of women.
	I mean, I think we have.
	I think that's the problem that we're facing, in fact, is the rethinking of the category of women.
	But the author of the groundbreaking book Gender Trouble says we should not be surprised when the category of women expands to include trans women.
	No, because they did this on purpose.
	I've read Gender Trouble.
	Yeah, that's true.
	They were literally like, yeah, we'll have the antonym in the same term.
	Don't be surprised when it expands.
	Why?
	Because I'm expanding it.
	Well, I'm not surprised then if you're doing it on purpose.
	Jesus Christ.
	So the interviewer says, it's been 31 years since the release of Gender Trouble.
	What were you aiming to achieve with the book?
	We know.
	We're living the results of it right now.
	It was meant to be a critique of heterosexual assumptions within feminism, but it turned out more to be about gender categories.
	For instance, what it means to be a woman does not remain the same from decade to decade.
	It did for literally thousands of years.
	For thousands and thousands of years, women were just adult human females.
	And in the last 10 years, they've become something different.
	The category of woman can and does change, and we need it to be that way.
	Yeah.
	We need it to be that way.
	Politically, securing greater freedoms for women requires that we rethink the category of woman to include those new possibilities.
	Well, now it's not going to exist at all.
	And again, securing freedoms for women.
	What freedoms didn't women have in the 90s?
	Kill babies?
	No, they had that freedom.
	Right.
	If you can call murder a form of freedom.
	I'm talking about late-term abortions.
	You know, the Democrat version.
	Yeah, there was probably a limit on how free they were to murder their babies.
	That's true.
	But how does making males women increase that freedom?
	More women, therefore more rights.
	Anyway.
	So, yeah, rethink the category of women to include those new possibilities.
	So we should not be surprised or opposed when the category of women expands to include trans women.
	And since we are also in the business of imagining alternate futures for masculinity, we should be prepared and even joyous to see what trans men are doing with the category of men.
	Trans men, I hate to say this, are totally failing at being men.
	Where are the trans men Olympiads?
	Where are the trans men winning gold medals?
	Who ever cares what a trans man has to think?
	As Jordan Peterson pointed out, all of male interactions are underpinned by the threat of violence.
	I'm not afraid of violence in trans men, so I don't care.
	It's impacted masculinity, not at all.
	But trans women have, in fact, impacted things.
	Buck Angel is super-based.
	I don't know who that is.
	Well, okay, wow.
	It's super-based to admit reality.
	Right, anyway.
	So, I came to understand that broader coalitions equally opposed to racism, economic injustice, and colonialism were essential for any queer politics.
	We see how this works now in queer Marxism groups.
	Queers for economic and racial justice.
	Queers against apartheid.
	Al-quoz?
	I don't know what that is.
	I think it's an Arabic, queer, al-course.
	I don't know what that is.
	The Palestinian group against both occupation and homophobia.
	So we're against Jews and we're against hanging the gates.
	I suppose it's like a play on words for Al-Quds.
	Yeah, I think so.
	I think that's what it's meant to be.
	Right.
	The only place they could have a headquarters would be in Israel, because if they had it in Palestine...
	At least in the Middle East, yeah.
	It's probably based in America.
	But yeah, so how did we go, though, from women's rights to queer politics?
	In the same interview.
	And then Palestine and Marxism and homophobia.
	It's really weird, isn't it?
	How that's just kind of snuck in there.
	And it's actually not very weird, because if you just look at her book, it's called Gender Trouble, Feminism and the Subversion of Identity.
	Literally in the title.
	What they're doing to you, ladies.
	Feminists.
	And Wikipedia has got a great little description of this.
	Just so you've got a bit of a background on it.
	She argues that gender is a kind of improvised performance.
	The work is influential in feminism, women's studies and lesbian and gay studies, but has also enjoyed widespread popularity outside of traditional academic circles.
	People like me have been reading it.
	Butler's ideas about gender came to be seen as foundational to queer theory and the advancing of dissident sexual practices during the 90s.
	But there we go.
	Ladies, feminists, you got subverted.
	They're literally saying it.
	They literally use the word subversion when talking about this, right?
	So anyway, this interview was redacted because she called a bunch of TERFs fascists.
	Do you want to hear how they're fascists?
	Cool.
	It's amazing.
	It's amazing.
	It's, of course, The Guardian.
	If we go to the next one, John.
	The Guardian were accused of censoring her and being cowards over it because she had called them that.
	But it's like, okay, but she does sound like a lunatic.
	She said, the fact that trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with right-wing attacks on gender, that's us, by the way, was appalling and sometimes frightening.
	The TERFs and the so-called gender-critical writers have also rejected the important work in feminist philosophy of science, as if there's such a thing, showing how culture and nature interact in favour of a regressive and spurious form of biological essentialism Anti-gender ideology.
	Anti-gender ideology.
	They're admitting they are gender ideologics.
	But the thing is, they are the ones abolishing gender.
	Like, literally, if gender can mean the opposite of what it's supposed to mean, like males can be females, females can be males, then who's the gender...
	I love how it's like anti-revolutionary activity.
	Yes, counter-revolutionary.
	That's right.
	The anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our time, she explains, and so TERFs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism because they are the fascists.
	Boom, boom.
	I'm Judith Butler, feminist philosopher.
	I know all about things.
	Let me call things fascism.
	Well, they're not part of the revolutionary vanguard, therefore they're fascists.
	Socialists talk about, you know, other slightly left-leaning people like this all the time, don't they?
	So, like, well, you're not full-on communists.
	One of the dominant strains of fascism in our times.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's just such a joke.
	I love the implicit argument there that essentially the problem with the fascists, anti-gender ideology, I thought there were other things that were wrong with them, but okay.
	That's what was the problem with fascism, folks.
	You heard it here first.
	But I just love it.
	The contemporary struggle against fascism.
	Just where?
	What are you talking about?
	Oh, well, people who believe that, you know, women have vaginas.
	Typical fascists.
	Oswald Mosley.
	I guess so.
	I bet if you listed every fascist, every single one of them, if you got to ask them, like, do women have vaginas?
	They'd be like, yes.
	There we go.
	Classic hallmark of fascism.
	Could you imagine time-travelling and asking people that in the 70s?
	I would!
	Go back to the 30s.
	Excuse me, Mr.
	Hitler, do women have vaginas?
	Yeah!
	Excuse me, Mr.
	Mussolini, do women have vaginas?
	See!
	There we go!
	Anyway, so why this was removed, according to a statement given to Motherboard, is that the Guardian's editorial team, and its particular team based in the UK, folded under pressure from readers, who took issue with the article and decided to censor Butler, because we are, of course, Turf Island, because...
	Because of the British empiricist tradition of looking at reality and recording what we see, we find that women have vaginas.
	And so we're a very empiricist, turfy place.
	Habitual bigots online are going to do their thing and usually respond to pieces without reading them, Gleeson wrote in a statement sent to Motherboard.
	What's been more unexpected is how quickly the publication folded.
	I was expecting the Guardian U.S. to stand by me as a writer.
	This is the person who interviewed Judith Butler.
	And while I have received apologies from their side, this has been a draining, consuming episode I didn't expect.
	So there we go.
	And that's how feminism got eaten from the inside by intersectional social justice, and that's why women lost their rights.
	Get what you fucking deserve, don't you?
	Speaking of getting what you deserve, let's talk about 12 reasons that you're a single woman and it's your fault.
	Now, this article I very much enjoyed.
	It's just on Medium.com, just some rando, who is giving us their best cope, huffing that copium, and we're going to take that away.
	I don't like cope.
	I don't like it when people are in denial of reality and are pretending that these things aren't true when they are true, right?
	Especially in the way this is written, because this is sort of like...
	False affirmations, and I hate them more than anything.
	If you have to falsely affirm something, it's not true, stop doing it.
	Literally, in the words of Marcus Aurelius, if it's not true, don't say it.
	Rico Riviera.
	Anyway, so, 12 reasons you're still single, even though you're a catch.
	Trust me, this is most definitely not your fault.
	Yes, it is.
	Take responsibility for your decisions.
	So, as for dating, a big number of women feel that the relationship gods such as Cupid and others are being veiled to them because they are a good catch, but still don't seem to get a suitable partner.
	Now, they're a good catch, suitable partner.
	They're the key parts that we're going to have to realign during this conversation.
	Most of them compare themselves to the people in their surroundings who are in a relationship who are happily married and believe they've been cursed since they do not have someone to spend their lives with.
	You're stunning!
	Why are you single?
	People lie to you.
	If people around you ask this question and you don't know how to answer it, don't put all the blame on yourself.
	Instead, look at the following list to see if you can figure out what's lacking in your life.
	I love this.
	Don't blame yourself.
	Why?
	Whose responsibility is it for you taking control of your life and taking responsibility for your life?
	No.
	Take responsibility.
	It is your fault.
	It's the government to give me a wife.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's like...
	That for women.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Where was my state-mandated husband, right?
	So we're going to go through these without pulling any punches.
	And I realize there are people who are like, ah, but you never do this for men.
	Send me the articles.
	Send me the articles where men are huffing the copium over whatever it is they're coping over.
	I'm happy to go through those and pull no punches on those too.
	It's just that people send me these ones and say, yeah, these will go through it.
	So, number one, you have more urgent priorities right now.
	Do you?
	Do you, ladies?
	Do you really have more urgent priorities?
	It's not a terrible thing if you've been concentrating on other significant goals, whether daily or yearly, personal or business.
	If you can't commit to a relationship because you have more essential priorities, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
	It's admirable of you to be forthright.
	It's beneficial.
	If you have other things to accomplish in your everyday life, don't put them off only for a relationship.
	There's a high probability you're fixated on them for a reason.
	But do you have more urgent priorities?
	I mean, I don't want to be rude about it, but the clock is ticking, ladies.
	Right?
	But also you can put that in the context of someone's inner relationship and sort of arguing that they should give up the relationship they've got because, you know, their business is more important.
	Yeah.
	That's obviously not true.
	Is it?
	Exactly.
	So why would it be true when you're single?
	Well, that's the point.
	And not only that, okay, let's assume that you think that your business or your career or whatever is important.
	Wait.
	You're going to have decades and decades and decades of life where you're not able to offer yourself up as a marriageable prospect.
	But you can still work.
	You can work on your career then.
	It's not going anywhere.
	You know, and you'll have, you've gained lots of life experience in the meantime, right?
	So get your career, get your actual personal life figured out first, then worry about your career.
	And this really honestly is pretty much an exclusively thing for women because of the way that nature has made us.
	You know, you can say, oh, it's not fair.
	It's not egalitarian.
	I agree.
	Anyway, number two.
	You are contentedly single or you do not want to be in a relationship at all.
	Not everyone requires a companion to be happy.
	Some people rely on their friends, family, or pets to make them happy.
	Some folks simply require their own happiness everywhere they go.
	If you're happy the way you are, don't waste your time seeking a relationship.
	Yeah, but you wouldn't be reading this article if you were, would you?
	The reason you're reading this article is if you're single, you're not happy about it.
	Or writing it.
	Yeah, good point.
	So number three.
	You're expecting to meet someone deserving of your fabulousness.
	You're magnificent, so why would you bother to be with someone who does not match you?
	Or perhaps you wait for your fellow soul and it will satisfy you with nothing less.
	After all, how many dates and relationships are beneficial if you can't envisage your future with that person?
	Yeah, well, I mean, maybe you need to actually readjust your perspective.
	Are you as great as this woman is telling you that you are?
	I'm going to put money on your not.
	The odds are your average.
	And if you think you deserve more than the average, well, that is going to hold you back, because you're going to dismiss the average that you should be aiming at, because you're probably pretty average.
	And, you know, it's just life.
	Re-evaluate, re-calibrate your expectations to something reasonable, is what we're saying.
	So number four, you don't need a man to validate your life.
	You could occasionally think that it would be great to have a partner in crime, but don't spend all your time chasing after a man, nor does it feel awful.
	You'd rather live your life and don't allow it to turn to find anyone.
	This just seems like cope to me.
	You're lonely.
	You want to fulfill your biological imperative, just like the rest of us.
	There's no shame in admitting it.
	You wouldn't be reading this article.
	You wouldn't be bothering with any of this if you weren't.
	Just cope.
	We're turning off the copium, and we're looking at reality square in the face.
	You can't tolerate men's foolishness.
	To be honest, we may have a point here.
	This is not surprising.
	You aren't easily intimidated, and therefore you'll never put up with sexist or immature attitudes.
	You are intolerant people who are manipulators, liars, hypocrites, cheaters, or anything else that identifies a fake person.
	But the question is, why are you cavorting with such people, right?
	Why are you such a bad judge of character that you find yourself surrounded by these kinds of people?
	I'm not surrounded by these kinds of people.
	I'm not surrounded by people who are considered to be manipulators, liars, hypocrites, or cheaters.
	Like, why is that the case, right?
	And as John rightly points out, you're probably using Tinder.
	Stop using Tinder.
	Tinder is not going to get you a relationship.
	What was your opinion on Tinder, Callum?
	Whores.
	There we go.
	But the point is, you're the one choosing these men.
	You're the one choosing who you associate with.
	Why aren't you choosing to associate with better people?
	Number six, the childhood goal of finding a lovely prince has become a foolish daydream.
	You don't sit around waiting for him to come and save you, no sir.
	You no longer fantasize about marrying a prince on a majestic white horse who will save you from all the horrors.
	Your genuine love will not appear in a fairy tale.
	You seek it in a deep and meaningful and successful relationship that entails much more than simply spending time with an attractive guy.
	When you grow up and set your fantasies aside, you realize how beautiful the surrounding people are with whom you spend more time and perhaps even have an occasional date.
	Now this is actually a sensible point, right?
	You aren't looking for someone perfect, you're looking for someone decent.
	After realigning your views on yourself, you then have to realign your expectations of men.
	That's a fair point.
	So one out of six so far.
	Number seven, you intimidate a lot of men.
	You are conscious of your strength, and you will not downplay the significance of your objectives and accomplishments merely to make a guy feel inferior, let alone behave as if you are ignorant and foolish to boost his confidence.
	Inferiority only exists if the guy shows it.
	If he instead loves, shares, and respects, and encourages women to continue growing, there will never be a difference.
	What do you reckon to that, Calum?
	The data I think we went through this previously shows that that's complete bunk.
	Men don't want high-status women compared to them.
	They don't want husbands.
	Yeah.
	They want wives.
	Yeah.
	But moreover, look at the attitude here, though.
	Why are you trying to upstage the man that you want to date?
	It's not very nice.
	Like, yeah, I'm more chad than you are.
	What?
	Why?
	I wanted a wife, you know?
	But the thing is, it's not even, it's not considerate to him, right?
	Imagine being in the opening stages of your first couple of dates, and she's already like, yeah, I earn more than you, and stuff like that.
	I'd be like, okay.
	Why are you being inconsiderate?
	If you're not considerate to him then, what does he think you're going to be like after five years of dating?
	You're not going to be a very nice person, are you?
	And no one wants to be with a person like that, male or female.
	So stop being like that and try being a bit considerate.
	Why am I going out of my way to make him feel inferior?
	It's not a good idea.
	But anyway, 8.
	You have an extensive network of friends and that distracts you from dating.
	Ah, this is one of my favourite bits of copium.
	You may be less eager to locate a lover at every cost when you're a social person and often meet with friends, neighbours, co-workers, and even strangers daily.
	I can hear John furiously typing.
	Wait for quality to arrive.
	In the meantime, enjoy your life in the company of those who love you.
	This is total cope, right?
	Because most people meet their partners through their network of friends.
	And if you aren't meeting your partner through your network of friends, then clearly there's a problem.
	You are probably not as popular as you think, especially as they all get older and pair up.
	Time is not a limitless resource here.
	Any thoughts?
	Don't use Tinder.
	No, but also the thing you just said was true.
	It is true.
	And there are various studies that show that most people find their relationship through their group of friends.
	Anyway, number nine.
	You are too enthusiastic about the single life.
	It's hard to picture anyone else in the picture.
	Okay.
	When your life is already great.
	Oh yeah, my life is brilliant.
	Your life's so good.
	That's why I'm totally not salty about not having a partner.
	I'm such a great catch, nobody caught me.
	Why?
	You might want a partner.
	It's really weird explaining to myself why I'm such a great catch when no one wants to come near me.
	While you may want a partner, the reality is getting one will transform your life.
	There's nothing wrong with the modification, but you must do it on your own time as well.
	Yeah, well, again, you aren't gifted with infinite time.
	Time marches on.
	And if you squander your attractive, fertile, youthful years, then nature is not going to forgive you for it.
	Nothing you can do about that.
	Number ten, if you're still figuring out if you like the opposite gender or the same gender...
	Oh, shut up.
	If you're unsure about your sexual orientation, but you undoubtedly knew who you desired deep down, but you're reluctant to express it, take your time figuring it out, then be courageous enough to prove it.
	Look, right, if you're like in your 30s and you haven't figured out whether you're gay or not...
	It doesn't happen.
	No, I don't believe it, right?
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, number 11.
	You haven't moved on from your past relationship.
	It is that you are hesitant to embrace a new love because you're frightened of being hurt again or that you're hoping to reconcile with your ex.
	In the first circumstance, I'll advise you that each person acts differently, so don't generalise and Believe that everyone will treat you the same way as your ex did, which is a fair point.
	If you're in the second position, strive to reconcile, but if the individual no longer loves you, you must let them go.
	Love yourself and your mental health.
	This is the second piece of good advice in these 12 points.
	This is good advice if the relationship is over.
	Move on.
	If it isn't, then fix it.
	But either way, stop dallying.
	Number 12.
	You simply aren't prepared yet.
	You're an adult woman.
	You've got a career.
	But you're not prepared for a relationship.
	God, imagine.
	In the last place, it's all fine for you to be honest and to acknowledge you're not ready to be in a relationship.
	You know that now is not the moment you know yourself.
	Perhaps even on a subconscious level you understand this.
	You're not willing to take these further measures because you're avoiding commitment.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	You can take all the time in the world until you're truly ready.
	The sooner you acknowledge, the sooner you can prevent problematic interactions.
	Well, I guess if the problem is you, at least you can admit it.
	You know, that's good.
	If you're not mature enough for what you think you're looking for, then you have to change, don't you?
	You, as a person, are not good enough as you are.
	I don't get how you could be in your 20s and not mature enough to just be in a relationship.
	I don't know.
	God, you know, the way things are nowadays.
	Kids these days, huh?
	Basically, yeah.
	Just don't know how to tell you, you know.
	But this thing, you know, if you think that you're not ready, well then you need to change, don't you?
	If you want a relationship, I mean, don't get me wrong, if you want to be a spinster your whole life, go ahead, I don't care.
	LAUGHTER No, great!
	No, I just can't imagine someone being like, yeah, I just want to be alone forever.
	Some people might, you know?
	Well, there's, unironically, a small area of Greece where women aren't allowed.
	Is this the monk kingdom?
	Yeah, yeah, it's on the fingers.
	I can't remember the Greek name it is.
	But, like, coming out of the thing, there's a small portion of which women are banned.
	It's totally based.
	Can men visit?
	Well, men can, yeah.
	Hmm.
	Sounds like a funny holiday, to be honest.
	Sounds like a great holiday.
	You guys heard of gaming?
	Yeah, we game all the time.
	Anyway, so, why are you single if you're a catch?
	The answer is, of course, because you're not a catch.
	That's why.
	That's why you're single.
	If you were a catch, you'd have had your pick of the litter of men and you'd have chosen the one you like and you'd have been off and everything would be great.
	You're probably not very impressive.
	You're probably quite average.
	Hate to say it.
	Hate to tell you.
	Hate to be the bearer of bad news.
	It's just life, right?
	But they say because gorgeous single females like you aren't scared to go through life alone or acknowledge they don't have anyone waiting for them at home.
	And this is just cope, isn't it?
	You're obviously not as gorgeous as you think you are.
	Is this like female MGTOW? Yes.
	Right.
	Kind of.
	Is that a real thing?
	No.
	All right.
	No, it's female MGTOW cope, right?
	The point is, you're just normal, right?
	That's the thing.
	You're just normal.
	Most people are normal.
	It's okay to be normal, but you have to accept your normal and realign your prospects.
	You are well aware that spending time with the wrong person would simply postpone the prospect of meeting the right person.
	So, you're not scared to be patient.
	Keep in mind that being single is a choice.
	Not for women in their 30s, it's not.
	Sorry, it's just not, right?
	And if you're perpetually single, you're not the one choosing that, you know?
	Improve yourself as a dating prospect, you know?
	Work harder on your personality.
	Lose a bit of weight.
	You know, try and be less of an asshole when you're going on dates.
	I don't know.
	Be more sympathetic.
	But, you know, Rather than thinking of yourself as dissatisfied or impatient, take satisfaction in your decision.
	I like the stoicism there.
	Why don't you just say, actually, I can't be hurt if I don't care about being hurt.
	And it's like, yeah, good point.
	Have problem, losers.
	Just don't think about the problem.
	Problem solved.
	Marcus Aurelius strikes again.
	The fact that you'd rather be alone than with a man with whom you're compatible.
	If that were the case, why does this article even exist?
	There is a lot of confidence in stating and meaning that.
	It's the type of assurance you want to exclude.
	That's the type of mindset that makes you feel valuable, not desperate.
	Or you'll be glad that you waited for the perfect person when the moment arrives.
	That's right.
	Or you'll die alone stinking of stale wine.
	It's your choice.
	We're ending that there.
	Yeah, why not?
	Alright.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	I just hate these co-particles.
	Just cope, cope, cope, cope, cope, cope.
	No, no.
	You're not gorgeous.
	You're not a catch.
	The reason you're desperate for a man in your 30s is because you don't know what to do.
	Got to take some, you know, bitter medicine.
	Sorry.
	Got a video of comments.
	Greetings from Sydney.
	As your country descends into fully automated luxury fascism, you're left to ask yourself, now what?
	The data stanza is of course to build something.
	Seen here is my beautiful fiancée Shona putting together some polymer clay jewellery for her new business Sequence Co, which we've built over weeks of grueling lockdown.
	We're only five days away from launching, so now's a good time to remind you, gents, that an apology always sounds more sincere while you're holding your earrings.
	Big hint, Carl.
	Check out the website, sequenceco.shop, that's sequenceco.shop, or follow on Instagram, and we'll see you all on the 13th.
	Aren't these lovely?
	Just look at them.
	Lovely.
	I'll be honest, I've been watching so many YouTube shorts, I thought that was going to be chocolate and we were going to get one of those chocolate messes at the end of it or something.
	I don't have a need for jewelry, but maybe one day.
	That's why you single count.
	It's got terrible self-defense laws, so for the SJW story, all I did was just dodge everything, because that's all I needed to.
	Now, I need to give you context for the next story, because I was not in the best of moods and I was trying to cheer myself up with the next story.
	I am renowned among friends for having bad luck, to the point where one of my friends has joked, Harry, no one will ever believe what I just saw happen to you, and they probably won't.
	Now, the martial art club, I got told on my birthday over the phone, martial art club I go to, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, possibly permanent closing down, and my grandma from my dad's side was very terribly sick on my birthday.
	That is bad luck.
	I hope your luck gets better, Harry.
	Sorry, I couldn't hear a damn thing.
	Sorry.
	I care, unlike Callum.
	I actually couldn't hear it!
	Alright, see the next one.
	Chad, that's what that is.
	No, it's a story.
	Great t-shirt though.
	God, stressing me out just watching stressing me out just watching that man.
	Right, okay.
	God, look how heavy those look.
	Good gains, that's all I've got to say.
	Very impressive gains.
	Good job, man.
	Regarding Carl's opinion on who can't keep sex, there was a time when society did this by keeping adolescent boys and girls separate and chamberoning the times where they were allowed to mingle, usually dances and such.
	We've abolished this simple and effective safeguard in the name of equality.
	Thank you, feminists.
	Don't worry.
	We'll bring them back, but we'll have boys and girls schools.
	Girls and boys schools.
	Because the categories no longer exist.
	What do you mean?
	Well, even if we won't return to tradition, they'd be like, yeah, but what about trans?
	Well, you'd have trans-only schools, wouldn't you?
	Well, that's going to be the progressive future.
	Like, if you've got trans four-year-olds.
	The synthesis between tradition and progress is trans-only schools.
	Can't stop progress, mate.
	I guess not.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Ladies and gentlemen, in the blue corner...
	To counter the she-session and turn it into a she-covery.
	Eyes white open.
	What did the Senate...
	Workers of the world unite...
	Anyway.
	Shameful!
	And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment that you've all been waiting for.
	Wearing red I'm gonna come oh My goodness was that I will admit, Red Team is always far more better than Blue Team, just on a humour level.
	Before we even talk about politics or morality or anything, Blue Team just seems boring to be a part of.
	Oh yeah, god, imagine.
	This is depressing.
	Anyway.
	I can't see how I can morally justify being extremely wealthy is something my friend said to me in a conversation once.
	At the time I didn't respond because it was completely random.
	The conversation had nothing to do with wealth or morals.
	And two, what do you even say to something like that?
	How is wealth even a question of morality?
	If resources are collected and traded through fair and ethical means, why is having more resources than another immoral?
	How can I dissect this and demonstrate how nonsensical this statement is to those who have bought into the socialist framing?
	Well, I mean, there are lots of different ways.
	For a start, you can suggest that the method by which the playing field is equalised could be equally as unethical as any method of accruing wealth.
	But there wasn't anything unethical about the accruement of the wealth there?
	Well, maybe.
	I mean, you know, you could have plundered a city or something.
	I know, but he sounds smart enough that you could probably just explain to them, like, what if I set up a business to, like, send parcels real quick, and then I expanded that business, and I got loads of people their parcels quicker than the company that was there before, and I kept expanding, kept expanding, and now I'm Amazon.
	Kept delivering a good service, and Amazon is a remarkably good service, I hate to admit, but it's true.
	Like, the biggest criticism of Amazon is that they don't give their staff enough breaks to go to the bathroom so they pee in bottles.
	I don't know if that's true or not, because it's in dispute.
	But if that's the biggest criticism for that much wealth, I can't think of a more moral way of getting it.
	And not just that, the leveling of wealth.
	Say someone's an artist, and they just spend their time drawing pictures, and these pictures are just really popular, and they sell Hunter Biden style.
	Oh look, half a million!
	Oh, I'm just a great artist!
	People just love my work, right?
	Let's assume that it's not a slush fund for dark money.
	Yeah, that would be an immoral way of making money.
	Yes, but let's assume that it's a real artist and they're doing really good work and people just, oh, I'll have 10 grand for that picture.
	And then suddenly, someday a socialist comes along and goes, well, you've got more money than this guy who never worked a day in his life.
	You're going to have to take some of that and give it to him.
	How's that fair?
	You know?
	Give over your metal.
	Why?
	That's not fair.
	Exactly.
	It's obviously immoral.
	The process, I think, is an important thing to point out here.
	Being purely consequentialist is not, frankly, a moral system, in my opinion.
	Go to the next one.
	In Canada's 154-year history, we have had 23 prime ministers, 10 liberal, 10 conservative, and 3 listed as liberal-conservative.
	We are not going to get a People's Party of Canada Prime Minister.
	If you vote for the PPC, you increase the likelihood of Trudeau getting another term in office.
	The PPC is my favourite party.
	I would like for them to get elected.
	I would also like to win the lottery.
	I would also like to go to space.
	This year, vote for the realistic choice, the Conservatives, and get Trudeau ousted from his throne.
	Yeah, but you're still gonna get vaccine passports, aren't you?
	I don't know what the difference is between the Conservatives and the Liberals in Canada.
	Well, that's the problem, isn't it?
	Yeah, I'm also a foreigner.
	Yeah, but the Conservatives are still saying vaccine passports.
	And honestly, let Trudeau.
	Let Trudeau.
	Let them keep going.
	The Conservatives aren't going to do anything different.
	No, make people suffer.
	Make people out.
	This was the Gerard Batten position in the election, where he was just like, yeah, I'm voting Jeremy Corbyn.
	I was just like, what?
	Why would you do that?
	You'd be like, we'll collapse and then we'll have a...
	everything can be fixed.
	Get what they deserve, right?
	Gerard's always right over a long period of time.
	Yes, that's true.
	You're paying for this, by the way.
	laughs That's after I oiled it.
	I do feel there's pain there, though, to be honest.
	We did have a bit of a problem with some of the chairs in our office.
	We found that if you tighten the screws real tight, it works better than the oiling of it to try and make it less creaky.
	Weird.
	Maybe that'll help.
	Maybe there's no screws in your chair in which case, I don't know, mate.
	I've been working myself out of the depths of depression and coumarism with something of a dadist strategy.
	Though I have no children, I find it appropriate to consider my future self my son, someone born from my actions whose future I ought to take responsibility for guaranteeing.
	I find this fitting for me as a Christian to consider myself my own father and my own son, considering that I believe people are made in the image of a god who is literally his own father and his own son.
	I don't know if that's orthodox Christian doctrine.
	I've never heard that before.
	He is right about getting out of kumarism.
	You've got to look at yourself.
	And Jordan Peterson pointed this out.
	Treat yourself as if you're someone you're responsible for taking care of.
	If you've got a pet or a child or something like that, you've got to look out for them.
	But you don't extend that same consideration to your own self.
	Maybe you should.
	Why not?
	Especially if you've got other people who are relying on you.
	And in the future you may well do.
	So why not treat yourself like you're someone who you were responsible for taking care of?
	Because, I mean, you are.
	That's what personal responsibility is.
	So you do need to take care of yourself.
	And honestly, right, I've been thinking about this a lot.
	I've basically become teetotal recently.
	Not on purpose.
	Like, it's just I haven't, you know, taken any drugs.
	I drink very infrequently.
	I try not to smoke.
	And it's just like, okay.
	But, like, I've got too many other things to do to be thinking about that.
	You know, like, kumarism.
	It's a product of not having responsibilities, not doing anything important.
	When you've got nothing to do, you're sat around, oh, I'm bored, I'll take some drugs, I'll drink, I'll smoke.
	You do that because you've got nothing better to do.
	But if you find yourself with something better to do, you find you don't even miss those things.
	You don't even think about it.
	You're just getting on with your life.
	Every night I go to bed and I'm exhausted, so I feel like I've had a productive day.
	I'm not like, oh yeah, I need drugs to pass the time because otherwise my brain is bored and I need to do something to...
	I'm not having that problem at all.
	I'm like, Christ, the time just keeps going and I've got so many things to do.
	But I'm so much happier now than I used to be.
	That Jordan Peterson point is really true and I never thought of it that way.
	Treat yourself like you would treat someone you're taking care of because you're taking care of yourself anyway.
	You are responsible for it.
	That's what personal responsibility is.
	That's a really good way of putting it.
	I never thought of it like that.
	On the Tito thing, there was a group of guys we met.
	But before, I'm not actually Tito's life.
	We go to a social event.
	I do drink.
	But it's fundamentally true.
	I remember we met some people in Russia, me and John, and they were Tito, and it was weird.
	Seriously?
	They don't drink?
	They don't do anything?
	Russians that don't drink?
	I know, weird, right?
	But they all looked great.
	I'm like, hmm.
	Callum, you're no countryman of mine.
	Sus.
	But, I mean, ultimately, it is correct.
	I mean, I still drink them...
	Clearly infiltrators.
	Make them squat.
	You know you shouldn't.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, you know, in social circumstances, it's fine.
	Just don't sit there at night alone.
	No, but even then, you know it would be better if you didn't.
	For yourself.
	Sure, but I mean...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	On a sort of, like, most strict...
	If we all, you know, drank orange juice and...
	Yeah, yeah.
	From the most...
	Yeah, but the thing is...
	It's not going to happen, obviously.
	Nor am I saying we should do this.
	No, no, no.
	Look, there's no need to be, like, autistic about it, right?
	Because it's...
	Well, no, that's why I'm saying don't do it, but...
	Yeah.
	On a strict sort of level, yes, technically, having no alcohol is probably better than you need from having alcohol.
	But then you've got other layers to your life.
	You know, someone who's out drinking with everyone...
	You would send your son drinking, wouldn't you?
	Well, when he's like, you know, 18.
	Yeah, but I mean, if you had an 18-year-old son, you'd want him to go drinking with his friends.
	Sure, yeah, because it's the social bonds that you, you know, you need to be in the same sort of mind frame as everyone else.
	And so, yeah, you know, there are times and places where, you know, don't be autistic.
	Just don't do anything to excess.
	Do everything in moderation.
	That's the point.
	Radical notion.
	Let's go to the next one.
	In moderation.
	Tony D and Little Joan here with a question today, one that I asked myself on my own YouTube channel.
	Sci-fi, fantasy, video games, and comic books in the 70s and 80s, these were considered very niche, and you were considered an isolated weirdo if you were into this stuff.
	Now it's mainstream.
	So did the stuff change to broaden to the audience?
	Because I don't see it.
	Or did we create a society of isolated weirdos?
	The second.
	Look at the way things are.
	Wildly atomized, isolated society that we are now.
	We are a society of isolated kumas.
	This is what I'm saying.
	Go drinking with your friends.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, the question is, are we a society of isolated kumas?
	Because kumarism is so normalized, and the answer is yes.
	Oh, this is the image.
	Oh my god!
	The pixelation is a courtesy.
	Oh my god, it looks undead.
	This person was screaming, you're a witch, at the petite woman.
	Actually looks like an 80s zombie movie extra.
	True.
	You're a witch.
	Coming from that, right, okay.
	The judgement means a lot coming from you.
	But, yeah, one thing I've been doing this but I'm really enjoying is painting these Warhammer figures.
	And, man, I just put an audiobook on and start autistically painting.
	I haven't played a video game in about a while.
	Because normally in the evenings I'll, you know, reserve an hour for myself to sit down and play some video games just to unwind and do nothing productive.
	But I'm not even enjoying that now.
	I'm enjoying, actually, because at the end of it I've got a nicely painted model.
	Well, nicely painted, as far as I go.
	No, you're actually pretty good at painting.
	Oh, thank you.
	Well, follow my Instagram if you want to see more examples of my painting.
	I'm not bad at you, but the thing is, it's about attention to detail and patience, right?
	Because when I was young, I didn't have any patience.
	I was like, oh, I've got to get this done.
	But now I'm not doing it because I've got a battle fight.
	Although I have fought a few battles.
	I'm just doing it for the fun of it.
	I can take my time.
	I'm really enjoying it.
	When I used to have 40k figures, I wouldn't paint them because I just couldn't be bothered.
	See?
	That's lazy.
	Yeah, but I was a kit, so...
	Zachary says, a company having a department of diversity is the equivalent of pronouns in someone's Twitter bio.
	Yes.
	Yeah, if anyone comes to your company and gives you a business card with pronouns on it, just don't do business with them.
	Yeah, literally just look at them in the eye and just drop it.
	But actually, yes, because they need to get the point.
	Yeah, and then possibly spit in the face, you know.
	Just to say that we...
	Or business advice, fine.
	Spit in the face of your competitors.
	How to succeed in the workplace.
	Three Sigma grind set there.
	I'm going to work on that Sigma to Alpha pipeline video.
	Michael says, ICS Commissars 270k a year.
	The success of capitalism has made our political officers far richer than Soviet political officers.
	Yay.
	That's true, I suppose.
	I mean, I think officially there were no Soviet millionaires throughout the history of the Soviet Union until very late.
	Probably true, yeah.
	But then the fact that a political officer in the UK had become a millionaire in, what was it, like five years if they just count their pennies?
	Yeah.
	Actually, don't even count your pennies.
	You've got 70 grand left over for five years for each year.
	And we've got 270 grand at the NHS. State funded.
	I just couldn't go for how they released that list of 42 positions for 270 grand.
	And they literally wrote underneath, this all depends on the bill passing.
	So we're literally telling the parliament, yeah, we're going to piss off the wall.
	No, vote for it.
	And they did.
	And the NHS was just like, I can't believe it.
	They did it.
	You know, it's like it's a practical joke.
	Yeah, yeah, it's mad.
	But it's just like, I can't believe that any public office could be worth that much.
	I think it's more than Boris.
	It is.
	Boris gets like 140 or something like that.
	I think it's about 200 now, something like that.
	Oh, it may have gone up.
	I'll check it.
	But yeah, check.
	I thought it was 140.
	But the point is, it's an unbelievable amount of money, and no public office, I think, is worthy of that.
	Anyway, ministers are having second thoughts on plans to introduce mandatory COVID passports for nightclubs at high-risk venues.
	Why do they have first thoughts?
	I am eternally disappointed at this point by these people.
	But, you know, at least that shows that, you know, they're probably getting your emails, you know, because I know a lot of people have been emailing them angrily, like I emailed my MP, James Gray.
	What the hell are you doing?
	With lots of expletives.
	Probably going to send them one for my constituency, the video we just did about the NHS. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Send them this video, send them angry emails.
	Tell me what is right about this.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Demand answers from them.
	They are your elected representatives.
	They do, at least in some way, feel obliged to you in that way.
	Apparently it's about £160,000 Boris has paid.
	The Prime Minister's position should be paid.
	Unbelievable.
	So it's more than £100,000 more.
	£100,000 more.
	Christ.
	To be like, yeah, so this is LGBT week.
	We had that last week, Steve.
	Yeah, we'll just do it again.
	Yeah.
	In the middle of September, this is going to be Pride Week.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is your ethical company's podcast all over again.
	These people are thieves.
	Yeah, they're thieves.
	They're rinsing the public for their religious duties.
	Anyway, Angel Brain says, Regarding the NHS tax piñata, this is why MPs are supposed to be the watchful iron leading hand of the public concern.
	When left unchecked, bureaucrats will endlessly create more and more superfluous roles to both justify their jobs and create ones for their pals.
	Yeah.
	I'm not going to say his name, but there's a mate of ours who went to school with someone who's now a Conservative MP, and he just gets messages in front of him sometimes.
	He'd be like, what the fuck?
	It's been going on for months, where he's just like, what the fuck is wrong with the party?
	What the fuck?
	Just because of thing after thing after thing.
	Is it your friend who's the MP who goes home and cries to his wife?
	I don't think so, no.
	I mean, literally crying Conservative MPs going, what's a Tory?
	I don't want to blend on that too much as well, because it's just like, it's from the Telegraph, I don't know if it's true.
	I'm totally going to.
	I imagine it is true.
	Yeah, I imagine it's true, and I don't care if it's like the Telegraph exaggerating.
	If that's the rumours and the way that things look, and it is the way that things look, if the Conservatives are crying that they don't know what a Tory is, then...
	You get what you deserve.
	I think our friend's friend is someone who's far beyond that.
	It's kind of like clown mask mode at this point.
	Yeah, just joke.
	Yeah.
	Omar says, every time I have to watch a Tory conserving Labour policy by frittering away taxes on diversity, inclusion, and equity, I feel the need to step away from my desk in case my forehead impacts it like they were magnetised by sheer frustration.
	Do you think the two-party system could collapse under its own weight when people realise that regardless if people vote for Conservative Labour, you're getting Blair?
	I don't know.
	I honestly don't know.
	It just seems that no one is in any way concerned about voting for something else.
	I hate it.
	If UKIP proved anything apart from Brexit, it was that there needs to be an opposition that will push the Conservatives.
	In the same way, for the Labour Party, they've got the Lib Dems and the Greens influencing them 24-7.
	Nothing like that exists for the Conservatives, because the two-party system is the two-party system.
	It's just real politics or whatever.
	You need some sort of anti-tax party.
	Yeah, there does need to be an AFD or a...
	Anti-tax, anti-woke.
	A based party, essentially.
	There needs to be a based party that forces them to just do what the base party does instead of Labour forcing them to do whatever they want.
	Anyway, Omar again says, Prediction feminism was killed by its own lack of limiting principles and when taken to logical conclusions crumbled under its own hypocrisy and logical inconsistencies.
	How'd I do?
	Not very well, actually.
	It turned out it was total communist subversion from the inside.
	So, nearly, but not.
	I just want to applaud them.
	Yeah, I mean, honestly, you get what you deserve.
	You know?
	Chet says, Reading through that medium article is essentially gaslighting.
	Yeah, right.
	Pete, for some reason, says, Feminists are the masters of gatekeeping, Pete being one of our administrators, have monopolized on gender issues for the point where 5,000 men killing themselves each year in the UK is trivial in comparison to literally anything women complain about.
	Yeah, 100 women are killed and 5,000 men commit suicide and the BBC is like, oh, look at these women fighting for women's rights.
	Riss says, the feminist orroboros cycle.
	Suffragists were consumed by suffragettes who were consumed by liberal feminists who were consumed by radical feminists who are now being consumed by trans-inclusive feminists.
	The real question is who will consume them?
	Yeah, that's the question I want to know.
	Because normally I'm pretty good at seeing further down the road than most on these things, but I can't see what comes after the trans...
	I mean, it could be, like, just insane Tumblr stuff, so it's furry feminists or something.
	I don't know.
	I mean, there are a lot more sexualities than just trans.
	Yeah, but the term trans is to encompass, you know, the long string of the ASCII code of LGBTQIA +, P, whatever, you know.
	Like, that paradigm includes all of those things, right?
	And so the trans is just a shorthand way of saying that's the paradigm.
	So what's the paradigm that comes after that, though?
	Right?
	I think it's got to be P. I think they might go for it.
	I would have thought the P would have been the LGBTQ paradigm, but maybe P's going to be a separate paradigm under it that will roll on to the next one.
	No, but I mean, because the other thing on my mind is for the leftists, their whole interest in this is about how to cause damage to society.
	And they latched onto the trans issue instead of intersex, right?
	Because they want to be able to be like, no, you should be able to use one of the bathroom you want.
	You should be able to go to prisons, so on and so forth.
	So for them, I mean, P is the ultimate one.
	And I don't know what's in between.
	It's not like they haven't tried it before.
	I don't know what iterations are in between there for them to go for that ultimate goal.
	What new frontier?
	I mean, maybe it's transhumanism.
	Maybe it's robot rights.
	How does that harm society?
	Well, I tell you what, robot rights are something that we have to resist at all costs, and there's the good Luddites that we are.
	If anyone ever tries to create a robot they want to imbue with rights, we have to immediately smash it.
	Immediately.
	There must never be robot rights.
	Robots are artificial.
	They're mechanical.
	They're just constructs.
	They have no rights.
	They have no rights to all.
	The rights are the property owners who own those robots.
	That's where the right lies.
	Robots cannot have rights.
	Don't ever let them say, and they will.
	There's the next paradigm.
	It'll be robot rights.
	Robot women.
	Deserve access to women's spaces.
	Okay, yeah, no, I can see that one.
	You want to marry a human woman?
	And you won't marry a robot woman?
	What are you, a bigot?
	That's where it is.
	That's where it is.
	I'm sure that's going to be it.
	Anyway, SupremeDuck says, there's one thing I like about the New Left, the confusion.
	The more confused they are, the more normal people will catch on to the left-wing zealotry as they spout extreme nonsense.
	Yeah, I mean, on the plus side, at least they sound lunatics.
	They're just lunatics.
	George says, Yeah, at least they're not going after men anymore, are they?
	When was the last time you heard a feminist complaining about the patriarchy?
	It's been ages, right?
	Oh, the patriarchy.
	What patriarchy?
	There's some sort of gender-confused dilator in front of you.
	It got really funny for British politics when the four most powerful people in the country were all women.
	Piers Morgan made that point very well, which is like, well, you've got the Queen, the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary, the Foreign Secretary, they're all women.
	Yeah, but not just that.
	You've got the Scottish PM, whatever they call her.
	Nicola Sturgeon.
	And then you have the Welsh Assembly that was led by a woman at one point.
	And it's just like, okay, where is the patriarchy?
	It doesn't make sense.
	And so that's just fallen away because that's a nonsense nothing now that doesn't reflect reality.
	And so now it's women who are oppressing trans people.
	But the Queen's under God and God's still a man.
	Ah, is God a man then?
	God's gender neutral.
	No, I'm not even religious, but God's a man.
	Yeah, that's it.
	We're taking God back.
	But yeah, on the plus side, men aren't actually under attack from feminists now, so that's good.
	But that's only because they were defeated.
	So, anyway.
	Duffy says, this strong independent woman line...
	Just the idea of stupid sexy robots, the robots' rights thing.
	The strong independent woman line is really a pathetic fantasy, where somehow there is a utopian relationship out there instead of the harsh reality that relationships of all kinds are work.
	These women have a long list of demands on men with no responsibilities of their own, hiding behind a career when challenged.
	There is so little effort put into relationships in the modern era that relationships are either expected to be perfect or every woman is a yas queen.
	Yeah, I completely agree with this, right?
	So relationships are something you have to work on, you have to nurture, and they degrade if you don't.
	And I'm guilty myself of, you know, allowing my certain relationships to degrade.
	You know, just old friendships and stuff like that where you think, ah, I should have done something there.
	But then it becomes too late or he thinks it's too late and stuff like this.
	And, yeah, you're right.
	Yeah, it's never too late.
	That's probably not.
	Unless it's a romantic relationship.
	Well, then, yeah, it might be.
	Student of history.
	Don't blame yourself for being an undateable dumbass.
	Literally everything else.
	Life, men, happenstance, nature.
	It's definitely not your fault because you have no flaws.
	You're a queen, goddess, someone who should be worshipped.
	You should never be introspective.
	Sparknotes of copium.
	Yeah.
	It's just such copium.
	You're a catch.
	Well, why did no one reel you in?
	Ian says, motherhood literally rewires women's brains.
	It makes them tougher and more competent.
	That's probably true.
	JJHW, there are plenty of women who are too busy chasing Chad to be in this rotation of women instead of fighting a man who will commit to them.
	That's true.
	Possible pilot deviation says, will the upcoming events with Dankula be recorded?
	I'm in the US and can't attend, but I'd love to watch.
	Yes, they will.
	They will be recorded, obviously.
	And they'll be up on the website.
	Are we going to paywall them?
	Probably.
	Ah, we've got to pay warm.
	John's making us pay warm.
	I didn't do it.
	That's a good point.
	Nick says, I really appreciate the verbal sparring between Carl and Callum instead of just constantly agreeing with each other.
	Keep it up, Chats.
	Do we?
	People keep saying this and I don't understand what we're disagreeing on.
	I mean, sometimes we do.
	The ones that really confuse me is when I'll put up a video and then check the comments, and we'll get comments like, I'm so glad they disagreed about this when we didn't.
	Or I'm just like, I don't even know what to say here.
	Like when it's just like, you know, illegal immigration bad or something like that, right?
	We're not disagreeing on the premise, I suppose, but maybe like the way that you get to the conclusion we disagree on.
	But I do find you, your personality is very, you're very romantic about party politics in a way that I just, I'm not.
	Am I? Yeah.
	Romantic meaning like, you know, oh, it would be great if we could do this, and I'm just like, it's not going to happen.
	That's true, yeah, fair enough.
	But I guess it's that that they're talking about, but you know, I'm...
	I've never said, don't contradict me.
	I mean, God.
	What would be the point of the podcast?
	Yeah, exactly.
	This is the Young Turks.
	I like having conversations.
	Nick says, I really...
	Oh, no, I read that one.
	Ryan says, Carl, a little off topic, but I would really like to let you know how you have played a vital role in my becoming a Christian.
	What?
	How do you feel about that?
	She didn't say Muslim.
	I prefer you to become a Christian than any other religion.
	Return to tradition, Callum?
	What about atheist, Mr.
	Atheist?
	Well, I mean, I don't think it's very responsible to promote atheism, given what's happened to atheism.
	I mean, there's a percentage chance of becoming a leftist.
	Yeah, well, that's the thing.
	I don't think that most of the new atheists, or the left-wing atheists now, I don't think they're atheists.
	I think they have a new religion.
	It's just a civic religion.
	It's a sort of secular religion.
	This religious feeling, I've just never had a religious feeling.
	I don't have this kind of, I need to worship something or believe in something or be afraid of the future.
	We're all going to die.
	Memento mori, Karen.
	Just get on with it.
	There was actually something I really liked about Poe the Person's speech at AA's conference.
	She was giving this story about how she goes to church and she doesn't believe in God.
	She hates it.
	It's boring.
	Yeah.
	Like, she does it because she knows it's a wholesome thing to do, and it makes her more of a rounded person.
	You know, she meets people in the community and all the rest of it, and I'm just like, that's true.
	It's not for me.
	I'm not going to do it.
	Yeah.
	I mean, he says here, before you, Jonathan Pagall, and Jordan Peterson, I was a lost atheist, spiraling towards nihilism, but now I find a way to rationalize my way to God.
	So thank you for your help, and I just need to figure out how to come out as a Christian.
	I wish I was gay instead.
	So, like, I mean, I'm not saying it's good or bad.
	It's probably really funny.
	It's just like, yeah, so I'm watching this atheist podcast and maybe a Christian.
	But not even just, like, culturally Christian, like Poe.
	It was like, I believe in God now.
	Yeah, but I mean, honestly, there are a lot of atheist podcasts that are so leftist that makes me want to believe in God.
	Yeah, but we're not one of them, hopefully.
	No, I don't think we are, obviously.
	But, like, I just...
	There are ways of avoiding nihilism that I just don't think involve religion.
	It's just a belief in the self, personally, that I have.
	I was just thinking about this the other day.
	It's like, why don't I believe in God?
	It's like, well, I don't really need it.
	You know, whatever I want to achieve, I'm just going to go and do it.
	And I don't need, like, you know, permission or anything.
	Yeah, I don't eat Sky Daddy.
	Yeah, no.
	But I'm not saying it's good or bad that you do.
	I'm just saying it's just not for me.
	And I think you can still be a good person.
	You should be a good person.
	But anything that gets you away from nihilism is a good thing because nihilism is awful.
	Chris says, I just want to shout out Callum for always doing such a great job.
	That's nice, isn't it?
	Also, a shout-out to CurrentlyUnnamed for making a ton of progress throughout the past year.
	You sound great, man.
	Who's CurrentlyUnnamed?
	Well, when they forget to put the name on the thing, it says CurrentlyUnnamed.
	Oh, right.
	He's a very good employee.
	Yes.
	But, yeah, no, you're doing such a great job, according to Chris.
	Thanks, Chris.
	I agree, though.
	I think you do do a really good job on the podcast, man.
	Radnor says, honestly, what?
	Nothing.
	I just don't think about it.
	Yeah, but that's good.
	You know, that's part of being good at it.
	You're just in the moment and living it rather than...
	This is the problem an academic agent has where he's like, oh, I'm always detached from whatever I'm doing.
	And he's kind of stepped forward into it.
	I'll do a video on it at some point.
	And he's kind of stepped forward into it and actually embrace it.
	Take the sincere pill, which I will talk about another time.
	But I think we're out of time now.
	Yeah, we are on that bombshell of you beating AA. No, I'm not beating AA. I really like AA. I'm joking, I'm joking.
	As a person, I really like him.
	And I love his content as well.
	I watch almost all of his videos.
	I was more sort of thinking like becoming a personal trainer of his or something.
	That's basically what I have to do.
	That's what I have in my mind.
	Anyway, so apart from that...
	It starts with embracing He-Man AA. That's enough from us.
	Make sure that ends there.
	If you want more from us, go to lowseers.com.
	Premium podcast with He-Man coming as well.
	Sign up to get access to whatever the hell that is.
	The second one.
	And also, it keeps the show running.
	More from us tomorrow, 1 o'clock.
