Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Loadseaters for the 25th of March 2022.
I'm joined by Carl.
Hello!
Today we're going to be talking about the Beardist Wokists vs Mumsnet.
Also, the Diversity High in Nonce is the poster lady for the Democrats.
I mean, just ideal, frankly, in my mind, of what I think now.
Well, Democratic candidate.
And also, Trudeau gets roasted by the EU, which is glorious.
I've got to be honest.
Many Canadians watching, you're going to have a good time.
Yes.
Sure.
Otherwise, apparently the diversity hire was also the Pizzagate judge.
Fantastic.
That's breaking news there.
Yeah, it came out yesterday.
She put him away for four years, even though he didn't hurt anyone.
Good to know.
Good to know.
We'll save that.
So, to mention the first things on the website, it's the new stuff that's up.
So the new one here being Critical Race Theory Explained.
Number seven, representation and identity.
Want to talk about this?
Yeah, it's just why they think representation is important.
And it's because they think that everything that is made, and therefore everything that you see, is an expression of racial consciousness.
So if you see a white person, then that's something that you only can identify as a white person.
And it's a construct of whiteness.
It's a replication of...
White as a category.
And so, to subvert that, to change that, well, you've got to change the person.
Well, that's not racial consciousness?
No, it is.
Oh, okay.
At least they admit it.
I was half expecting them to be like, when we do it, it's not racial consciousness.
Oh, no, they're like, yeah, it is racial consciousness.
It's our racial consciousness.
It's not your racial consciousness, so shut up.
Zieg.
Look at the black person.
Yeah, they're basically Nazis.
But yeah, no, they're pro-racial consciousness, so...
Anyway, if we go to the next one, we have a new article here.
It's not the government's job to keep you safe.
Oh no, it's a republish.
Sorry, this is a republish.
You can see Luna there, this one now with an audio track, as you can see, for Silver and Gold Tier members to go and have a listen and to enjoy.
And the last thing to mention being the Gold Tier Zoom call that we are having...
Today at 3.30.
So that's UK time.
Do come and join us.
Also, the clocks are changing an hour forwards on Sunday, apparently, for the British.
So if you're not a Briton, then you wonder why we changed the schedule a little bit compared to you.
That'll be why.
So you can be on UK time or just type in London time.
Apparently most countries don't change the clocks, do they?
No.
There's also a bunch of disparity about when, obviously.
I'm mildly resentful.
No, I'm not a fan.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get to Momsnet.
Yeah, so, you know what I like when I'm talking about feminism?
It's a bunch of bearded...
Journos going on about what it is, a bearded American journos talking about what British women are doing.
How dare they?
How very dare they have their own interests?
Here we have a controversial conversation, a screenshot of which went viral, between a Vox journo, a New York Times journo, the, quote, conservative journo.
When he mentioned it himself in a subsequent tweet, he's like, I'm the conservative.
And the New York Times, is that right?
I believe it.
The one.
And a city journal journal.
And they're trying to understand.
Zach is the Vox journal.
He says, I'm continually perplexed by the anglophone divergence on transphobia.
Why is there so much more TERF representation in the UK elite than their US and Canadian peers?
And Ross replies with, the answer is Mumsnet, I believe.
As if the UK elite are all on Mumsnet.
JK Rowling, you know, all the conservatives, they're all on Mumsnet.
To be honest, personally, I think it's because of the suffrage movement and the coherence we've had with the feminist movement here, as in the people.
And therefore, they've actually been able to form a sort of union against this stuff.
Sorry, trans stuff.
Sure, but I also put it down to the natural empiricist tendencies of the English.
That's also true, but he is saying among the Anglosphere.
Yeah, but no, he's talking about the divergence in the Anglosphere.
So in the UK, the TERFs are a very strong force, whereas in America and Canada they're not.
And I put it to the fact that England has just always been extremely empiricist, frankly.
And this is represented in a lot of different ways, but I think primarily in the modern age, it's the TERFs saying, well, look, there's a biological component to being a woman.
And the sort of continentals who have infested the new world are like, no, no, it's all social constructs.
It's like, no, it's essential, biological.
Look at your mom.
Physical.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyway, to this, Charles says, this is also the story I've heard.
The UK happened to have a coordination point that other Anglo nations didn't.
And that coordination point, of course, is...
Mumsnet.
For mums?
Mothers?
It's hilarious, the idea.
What's a mum?
Well, that's a great question.
But anyway, so the trans discussion has taken over Mumsnet, as people have been complaining about.
This is Tabitha McIntosh complaining that, in reply to Hadley Freeman, Hadley Freeman is telling me that mothers are more likely to be negatively affected by the rights of trans women than they are by rape, and that's why there is no point in attempting rational conversation.
The rights of trans women, quote-unquote, are going to explode the very category of woman.
Rapes are a very rare occurrence, thank goodness.
Also, the trans rights thing causes rapes.
There is also that, too.
What was the name of the famous one you keep bringing up?
Karen White's the most famous.
Karen White, yes.
And so, if you can scroll down to the next tweet, you can see that just searching Mumsnet gives you 4,398 results for the word rape, 2,597 results for the word harassment, 3,116 results for the word assault, and 5,918 results for trans.
So what is occupying the times of the mums on Mumsnet?
Well, it's the debate about trans.
What is a woman?
That is the main concern.
And they're like, no.
A lot of what I own is based on the fact that it doesn't, actually.
So, anyway.
UK women on Mumsnet discuss transgender topics more than they do abortion, rape, harassment and assault.
Significantly more.
So this is clearly a pressing issue for them.
Revealed preference.
Exactly.
It's a revealed preference.
And Mums tend to take the turf line on feminism.
As you can see by just...
You can get these up just so you can see the topic list, John.
You can see this Maya Forstarter tribunal going on.
Do you remember she was fired for being a TERF? The Jen Ives LGB Alliance Twitter row.
You've got Glynna on Nolan.
You can see it's all very British TERF. Cisgender, queer women, stuff like this.
Women in Scotland complain about the word cis.
You can see exactly what all of this is about.
But the thing is, five years ago, they were very pro-LGBT. Before, it was apparent that the T was going to destroy, well, all of the rest, frankly, because the T, with it, sneaks in a redefinition of the word woman.
If we go to the next one, John, you can see that they used to be talking about things like, you know, do any of your students run an LGBT group for students?
You know, can we have all of these various things?
It was very pro because it was progressive.
Well, five years ago, no one really focused on the T part of that sentence.
Exactly.
That alphabet there.
It was all LGBT as sort of like a custom phrase, but it just really meant homosexuality.
And it really meant progressivism.
It meant being progressive.
Because remember, five years ago, women were at the forefront of the progressive movement because it was women's rights that was being used to batter down men-only spaces.
And, you know, as someone who played video games, I was very aware that feminists wouldn't shut up, go away and make their own spaces.
They would always attack you with the LGBT aspect.
And it's just like, there's nothing to do with what we're saying.
But the Vanguard has passed through the enemy line now.
And now what's arriving is the main body of the army in the form of the tea lobby.
And the tea lobby have got some very, very strong opinions on the definition of words.
Sorry, I've got like the British people with cartons of tea.
Well, I would prefer that.
Anyway, so the thing about this is that this means that it's fine to just totally belittle women, right?
This is just one random Twitter user.
Rachel, who says, I'm not a mum, and I don't post on Mumsnet, but I find it astonishing how many people who think they're the good guys find it okay to belittle and mock a huge community of women.
It's become like Karen as a way to disparage women you don't agree with while feeling good about yourself.
But the thing is, Rachel, it's not about helping women, and it never has been about helping women.
It's been about promoting an ideological agenda.
And the women on Mumsnet are not walking in ideological conformity to that agenda.
And so they become fair game.
It's not about them being women.
It's about how they think.
And it's always been about how people think.
And so this means that Mumsnet is basically 4chan.
Progressives.
Get the next one.
People have been apparently comparing Mumsnet to 4chan and calling them incels.
The mums on mumsnet are basically 4chan incels.
Did they think about that for more than one second?
Well, they're not making a direct definitional comparison, but they're saying, well, look, they're basically the same.
They're acting because they're resisting us.
They're resisting the progressive narrative.
And so now the mums on mumsnet, the incels, find themselves aligned in ranks against the transgender lobby.
Who would have thought?
Anyway, so Mumsnet is awful, apparently, according to trans activists like Natalie Felix.
Mumsnet these days is less known for being a place for mums and more just a fascist hellhole that hates trans people and sex workers.
That's right, whenever I think of Mumsnet, I think of fascism.
Do you even hear yourself, Natalie?
Trans women and sex workers are mums.
I think that's the point at which the definition comes in to obliterate the word woman.
Trans women are mums.
Male people without female reproductive organs are mums, are they?
People who can't make children are mums.
People who are literally physically prevented from giving birth are mothers.
Hmm.
I can see why Mumsnet are like, yeah, this movement's cancer and it's got to go.
I can totally see why they're not down with this, and that, to you, makes them fascists, but that, to anyone else, just makes them normal, just so you know.
So, I mean, if you can scroll up, I think she's got a tweet above this, where she's like, trans women do discuss prams and breastfeeding.
Do they?
Why?
Yeah.
Do they discuss cervical smears?
Like, what would be the point?
Most of the trans women I know either have children or want children.
Yeah, but they didn't give birth to those children.
They won't give birth to those children.
Most of those who don't are also just coping with the eugenicist laws and forced sterilization we have to undergo because of transphobia.
She's talking about the surgery, right?
I don't know!
She's saying that because they undergo surgery, they're being sterilized?
Transphobia is the reason that transition surgery happens.
I mean, that is true, in a way, because if you do assume that it's all a social construct...
Then there's no need to have a surgery in order to validate yourself as a woman.
And so it's only society's opinion that a woman has certain characteristics.
That means you have to undergo the trans surgery.
And therefore, you could say that gender transition surgery is in some way transphobic.
Which is why Dantley did it.
And this is somehow eugenicist.
So anyway...
So moving on, this all ties together with a group called Women's Place UK. So we've established that the UK is Turf Island.
It's controlled by Mumsnet, which is probably true, actually.
And so this all ties together, as you can see with Millie Hill pointing here.
This morning it was Mumsnet, and this evening it's Women's Place UK. Because Women's Place UK is an activist group for British women.
Which is probably a bit fascist, now I've said it like that.
It's almost as if women gathering together to discuss their specific concerns is perceived as threatening in some way.
How fragile this whole thing is.
Well, yeah, but everything's fragile when you destroy it.
But this is, as you can see, they were having a meeting in Manchester, a nice get-together where they say, could we have rights?
And the trans people were like, oh no, you don't.
Not on our watch!
It's the golden age of misogyny, I'm telling you.
And decided to sit outside chanting F-terfs as loud as possible.
We'll watch some clips of the protest, actually.
Because Stephen Knight, the godless spellchecker, was there, and I consider him a reliable source because I don't think he's a lunatic.
So let's watch the protest turning up.
Get lost, Turf Scum!
Get lost!
Zez Scott off our streets!
A lot of beards in that protest.
Turf Scum off our streets.
A lot of men who want to go really show those women their place.
Not going to be having women's rights on our watch, I'm afraid.
Golden Age.
The thing is, it makes no particular sense, though, because, like, protesting is something you do against governments.
People with, you know...
Well, they're the thing.
It's a party rally.
That's what it is.
It is.
And you can see this.
I mean, we mentioned about the...
Well, you mentioned that the TERFs are being accused of being fascists.
But this is so demonstrably the opposite, because just think of every profile picture you've seen of a British police force during Pride.
Think of Pride flags.
The pictures I've taken at Swindon Pride, in which you've got the little flags and all that.
The flags are all in there.
Which side are the British police standing on?
Which side is every British corporation standing on?
Which side does the British government stand on?
We'll see you in a minute, in fact.
Not the parties, but the institutions.
Yes.
The institutions all stand on one side.
So these are the foot soldiers of the institutions.
Yes.
This is a party rally against...
Dissidents.
...counter-revolutionaries or rightists that are mums.
Yeah.
No, no.
These aren't mums, but these are people obviously sympathetic to the Mumsnet cause, Women's Place UK. Although I don't doubt there's...
I imagine most of them are mums.
I was going to say, I don't doubt that there's a great degree of crossover there.
But anyway, so Stephen Knight attended, and like I said, I think he's a reliable source.
He tweets a thread, if we can go to the next one.
A nice long thread.
I'm here at the Women's Place UK Manchester event this evening, looking forward to hearing from the speakers.
Sounds like a protest of undetermined size outside.
I can hear them, but can't see them.
I'm not sure what they think is going to be said that's so egregious, but I'll let you know.
As you can see, there's a few hundred, I guess.
And so, some quotes.
High heels do not a woman make.
The first speaker today talks about passing not being enough to have access to female-only spaces.
I mean, being a female seems to be enough.
Access to female-only spaces.
That's why it's a female-only space.
Definitionally.
The next speaker is talking about the history of women's sport and the struggle for the right to compete.
That's over, isn't it?
That's funny.
I never thought of it like that.
Women, we fought for ages to make our sports available and also taken seriously.
And a bunch of male-bodied people took them away.
Yeah.
I mean, I am genuinely sympathetic.
I think this is awful.
But it's just, there's a mild, like, we told you so.
You're like, oh, we're pro-LGBT, we're pro-feminism, we're pro-this.
Five years ago, it's like, yeah.
Yeah, good luck.
Well, now you get what you deserve.
But anyway, it's pointed out that all the elite female runners will be beaten by the male equivalent, which Obviously true.
She talks about all the women that trans swimmer Leah Thomas is responsible for excluding by participating in female categories.
Lots of angry male voices outside trying to drown out the speakers.
Lots of wisdom and laughs inside.
Oh, that's nice.
Let's see the tone and tenor of the protests outside.
Let's go to the next clip.
Baby, all cops are busted!
Woke diversity folks right there.
But I love that the cops of diversity and tolerance are standing there while they're chanting, all cops are bastards.
They're doing it in such a British way that, frankly, I must admit, it does make me even cringe.
Yes.
At least coming from an American, there's some energy in the screaming.
That was so tepid.
It's just, oh, cops are bastards.
Yeah, the cops are on our side and who we defend institutionally.
They're all terrible.
Their cars are literally painted in our flag.
As in, our party flag is on the police car.
I mean, they probably have it on their pits.
On the lapels?
It's awful.
Anyway, so Stephen carries on.
The protest outside probably has no idea that they're attempting to drown out the voice of Maggie Mayo, a refugee, speaking about the struggle for women's rights and helping vulnerable women.
Our rights are taken away from us forcefully.
Well, that's what this group's about!
I don't know whether you've noticed.
And so you have, like, essentially just radicalized Americanized morons trying to drown out survivors.
You have Judith Green speaking, a female survivor of child sexual abuse.
She's doing her best to be heard and stay composed while the sizable crowd outside attempts to drown her out.
And let's hear what they're trying to drown her out with.
Women's Place UK are a place for hate.
you Thank you.
I mean, you'd have to be mad to believe it.
That is bizarre logic.
Like, you've got these refugees and abuse survivors having a discussion about how to defend their rights and their spaces for exactly these reasons, and then outside you have the party who have turned up with all their party flags screeching about how you're the evil one.
Screeching about men's rights.
Yeah.
With the long beards.
Basically, if you don't let men into these spaces, you're full of hate.
It's like, the MRA should have tried this tactic.
But obviously, jokes aside, this is just ridiculous, and they look like an absolute caricature.
But look at this, probably about 200 of them.
I can imagine this being a scene in a movie mocking them, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
It looks like a hot fuzz parody.
No, it really does.
Anyway, so the TERFs are getting a bit worried by this because there are a bunch of men and their supporting activists outside who are screeching.
And so Stephen finished just saying, well, look, not a single thing said tonight has come close to being anti-trans.
In fact, trans people were barely mentioned.
Everything that has been said has been about defending women's rights and upholding the laws created to protect them.
Yes, but it is in the very definition of the word woman that the Hatred, the anti-transness, is present.
He says, I'm living in bizarro world.
I'm sat among mostly middle-aged women, listening intently to other women talk about women's rights while a huge crowd outside chants about the non-existent hate happen.
Yeah, Stephen, this does happen a lot.
I mean, every single protest I've been to or event I've been to which has been declared a meeting of hatred and people who hate has just turned out to be a very diverse group of people who literally do not care about hating on protected characteristics but instead just have some issues that have happened and want those solved.
This is yet another one of those.
And so the final chant that I think we should listen to is this one.
I I mean, what?
F women?
Yeah.
Or just F turfs?
Well, it was the same thing back in the day, wasn't it?
Well, it is.
Yeah, absolutely.
But the thing is, they're a place for hate, but also F them.
We want them destroyed.
Off our streets, you scum.
Yeah.
And it's like, all cops are bastards.
It's like, okay, look, I think the hate group is actually manifesting itself quite well.
Like, they look like the Westboro Baptist Church.
Yes.
Like, the Westboro Baptist Church would set out a tie with the signs and say, God hate F, and the other people, then everyone else would just be getting on with their day.
Like, you've got the people getting on with their day, and then the folks outside screaming with their signs that you're scum and need to go to hell.
Yeah, it's either F gays or F turfs.
You can choose which one you want, but you're the hate group, and it's blatantly obvious.
So I just thought we'd have a quick, we'd end this quickly by what the politicians think.
Right, so Keir Starmer, a couple of weeks ago, had decided to open his fat mouth and say something stupid.
He said that trans women are women and he's called for a more respectful debate on transgender issues.
From your own activists, Zakir.
Because they're the ones who are being disrespectful.
I don't know whether you'd noticed.
Unless you stand by F-terfs.
Which you might.
How do you have a more acceptable debate if you've already said, this is the party line?
Where's the debate to be had?
Because I watch Labour Party Conference.
They had this debate, or tried to.
And as soon as any woman got up and mentioned what women were...
They lost their minds.
They had speakers coming up saying, I want to censor the last speech because she said something offensive.
And even the Labour Party chairman had to be like, no, we don't do that.
And how are the TERFs meant to be more civil?
They're not the ones screeching and shouting and threatening.
So what are they supposed to do?
It's your own guys.
I mean, that's probably an offensive word these days.
Anyway, but he continues to say that we want respect and dignity for transgender people.
It's like, well, maybe you should start with dignity in your own activists.
And when asked to define a woman, drumroll, Keir Starmer gave a brilliant reply, brilliant in its idiocy.
A woman is a female adult, and in addition to that, trans women are women.
Should we pass that through?
A woman is a female adult, right?
So we can replace the word woman with just the words female adult.
Okay.
So trans female adults are female adults is what he has said with trans women are women, which means that male to female trans people are not trans women.
By his own statement.
The only trans women are women who want to be women?
Yes.
Female adults, trans female adults are female adults.
Bravo, Keir.
I stand by that.
I completely agree with you.
Biggest of brains.
You are an idiot.
You're an actual idiot.
This country is run by actual idiots, right?
No, I mean, it's kind of like 5G chess there.
I know he's an idiot, but you can imagine he's like, how do I satiate both sides?
It's like, well, I'll claim that trans women are women, but trans women are just biological women.
Yeah.
Like, it's just...
Just sit down and be quiet, Keir, right?
But the thing is, in this...
That's your contribution.
Oh, shut up.
Yeah, exactly.
You retard.
So this carries on.
Now it gets raised in Parliament and Boris has to wait.
And Boris is probably, oh God, oh God, I knew this was coming for such a long time.
You know that Boris really doesn't want to get involved in this, right?
Which is why, finally, Boris had to say something.
And he says, quote, I think that when it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, the basic facts of biology remain overwhelmingly important, although the issue requires tact, love, and care.
Yeah, okay, gotcha.
Trans women aren't women.
We agree.
Thanks.
Let's move on.
Yeah.
Like, this should be the end of all national and Western debate on the subject.
Yes.
Keir Starmer agrees with you, incidentally, that biology is important.
Adult females are adult females, and trans adult females are also adult females.
So, yeah, consensus in the British upper echelons on this stupid, stupid issue.
Anyway.
Missy Parker is a trans woman and a woman.
That's amazing logic.
She's kissed us tomorrow.
I suppose we should move on to another moron.
So the Diversity Hire non-sympathiser is a perfect poster for the Democratic Party.
And we didn't get to finish all this off yesterday with Leo, so I thought we'd go through it.
Also because I know you have a particular perspective on her as well, which I'm sure you'd love to share.
So we'll enjoy the start of this Diversity Hire here.
And I'm calling her Diversity Hire for people who don't know, because she was literally picked for being a black woman and nothing else.
I mean, Biden literally said, I'm going to have a black woman.
Yes.
Okay.
And then did not look at the qualifications of whether or not she was a non-sympathiser, and just moved ahead, because progress.
So we'll start off here, of course, with the clip that we showed yesterday.
Can you provide a definition of a woman?
Nope, I'm not a biologist.
Yeah.
She's offloading the ability to just define a simple thing.
Like what is a man, a woman, a chair, a table.
I can't define what a table is.
I'm not a carpenter.
I can't define what a house is.
I'm not a builder.
You know, you've got to appeal to some sort of expertise.
But what I love about this is the expertise she's appealed to is biology.
As in such a, yeah, it's rooted in biology.
Yeah, I agree.
And Keir Starmer agrees.
An L for progressive ideology there, accidentally.
Yeah, and they look ridiculous.
Yes.
I also love, because it's just not even true that they can't do definitions.
Like, if you're a lawyer, the first page is always definitions.
Yes.
How do I define these terms?
But I love the stupid smile face, like, no, I can't.
I'm a boss.
I've got you.
It's like, no, you look like a moron.
You know, like any normal person watching this.
You're the insane person in the room.
If we go to the next one, there was also the other moment where she looked like the insane person, in which she was asked about transracialism, that riddle.
She did not solve the riddle.
Oh, what did she say?
She said that she was not able to answer the question, because it was hypothetical.
Well, you know that it is improper to ask this question, according to the Hypatia academic blog.
When this came up in the Hypatia controversy in 2017, the response wasn't, well, we have a philosophical argument.
It was an appeal to propriety.
It is improper to ask about transracialism.
It is in...
The race category is a special category that isn't allowed to have the other laws of logic applied to it from the other categories.
It's immense cope.
Oh god, yeah.
Oh god, yeah.
It's massive.
I mean, could you imagine doing any more cope than just saying this topic is off discussion because I'll lose?
Yeah.
Literally, it becomes a moral impropriety.
Could you imagine pulling that in a debate online?
Like, if you're talking to Destiny, you're just like, well, Destiny, sorry, that question's improper to ask.
I'd love to do it, but obviously it wouldn't wash.
No, because it's a box.
She pulled the same thing here.
She was just like, oh, it's a hypothetical.
I was like, no, it's not.
Remember the trans-Korean?
Yeah.
But even if it's a hypothetical, so what?
We discuss hypotheticals all the time.
Yep.
And she will throughout this.
If we go to the next one, we can see the fact, of course, she defended pedos as well.
This being a thing in which Ted Cruz pointed out that she gave the minimum possible sentence to multiple pedophiles.
And then she said that she did not regret that, but instead regretted that the issue had been brought up.
I'm sorry I got caught defending pedos.
She's not sorry for defending the pedos.
She's sorry for being caught defending the pedos.
She doesn't know what a woman is.
Nor can she solve transracialism.
This is probably the worst example of a judge you could put before.
Not because of concocted stories of she's a rapist, like with Brett Kavanaugh.
It is instead because here's her ideology and it's trash.
I mean, no one has said something false about her.
They've asked her her opinions and they're terrible.
I mean, she's a great example of why diversity hiring is a really foul practice.
You get incompetence.
Well, yeah, but I mean, you've got Clarence Thomas sat there going, look, I have answers to all of these questions.
I don't want to be on that.
Yeah, exactly.
I was not a diversity hire.
Don't, please, God.
Allah, anyone.
If we go to the next one, I want to see the media response to all of this stuff.
So this is Vox.
I left this out.
They decided to go with, the GOP's attacks on diversity hire are nasty, even by Republican standards.
They tried to get her to define woman!
They asked her her opinion on her own ideology, and she failed on every stumbling block.
They tried to defend children!
Except on the pedo thing, she did stay consistent with her own ideology on that, which is that she thinks that they did nothing wrong, apparently.
Or at least deserved the minimum possible punishment, which was her position.
But then it's also just absurdist from Fox here.
It's literally the Vaush position on CP. Yeah, now it's in the Supreme Court.
Well, going to be.
Yeah.
Because of diversity hiring.
Thanks, Dems.
But you can see here Vox left this out as just being like, yeah, did you know the attacks on the diversity hire are nasty?
Isn't it horrible that doing this to our candidate?
Again, glad that you take this as yours.
They tried the same thing with Clarence Thomas, where they tried to frame him as a rapist when he got his confirmation.
Literally, he's had this long career as a judge, and then it's like, oh, you're going to give the Supreme Court what this rapist?
What?
Same thing with Kavanaugh.
It's unbelievable.
We can go back to Kavanaugh, because all these things still exist.
Dunces, I don't know why they don't delete them.
So, here's your Fox verified checkmark.
When Brett Kavanaugh was a teenager, rape meant an attack from a stranger in a dark alley, not something that acquaintances did to each other at house parties.
Take a look at our article, in which they say that he was a rapist because it was okay back in the day.
But it's her word, and no one else agrees.
And he's got other people who say that he wasn't there and things like that.
Yeah, and also after he got put in place, all of a sudden all the accusations dried up.
Of course.
Because as soon as they got to the Justice Department, they were like, where's the evidence?
And they went, what?
But I was told my tears would say more than real evidence ever could!
Look, I cried and cried.
What do you want?
Yeah, the next one, of course, there is also the socialist man who also decided to make this video for Vox.
You can see a million views.
Why Kavanaugh's accusers can't remember everything or anything.
Because it didn't happen, did it?
15,000 dislikes.
Vox being Vox.
We move forward.
There is, of course, more from them as well.
Again, remember how nasty we're being to the diversity high by asking her opinion on No, no, no.
This is nasty.
Making up false claims of sexual assault.
I've studied false rape claims.
The accusations against Kavanaugh doesn't fit the profile.
Well, pack it up then.
Yeah.
Can't be a false rape claim if you've got a profile.
But then they all turned out to be fake.
Yeah.
So all of this.
All of this was a smear campaign, and he's not the only one, of course.
It's just the most recent and disgusting example, in which you just went after him because of his politics.
And to do that, you didn't criticize his politics, or ask him his politics, as we have done, with the diversity hire.
You instead just went...
Yeah, rapist.
And it's not the first time you've done it?
No, it's not.
You do this every time?
If we go to the next one, we have The Guardian as well.
We've done the same goddamn thing.
I don't know if you can click on the images here, please, John.
There's just The Guardian being like, oh, look, Republicans turn on the diversity hire, then turn it into a political circus.
Oh, really?
If we go through the images, of course, it's just The Guardian's reporting on Kavanaugh.
The Kavanaugh hearing provides, yet again, that the US hates women.
Nope.
Nope.
Can't even define women.
Don't know what you're talking about.
How many women will Kavanaugh hurt as a Supreme Court justice?
Well, how many gorblygooks will he hurt?
Because that's what the word woman means.
It's got as much content.
It literally means nothing anymore.
No, is the answer.
He's not a biologist.
How would he know if he's attacking a woman?
The cost of Kavanaugh's victory, the legitimacy of the US Supreme Court.
Okay, so we don't have to worry about it.
What I love about this is, oh, you're making this political.
It's like the US Supreme Court is a political body.
It has been.
Forever.
Well, exactly.
Since its inception, it is a political body.
It makes decisions along political lines, and it always has.
So it's like going, ooh, you turn into some political circus.
This is politics.
Yes.
Why wouldn't it?
This is one-on-one politics.
But the more interesting thing is that no dirty tricks seem to have been played with the diversity hire.
All that has been done is, hey, your ideology can ask a question.
Yes.
And they ask the question, and then she looks ridiculous because her ideology is ridiculous.
There is no, by the way, you're a rapist.
What I love about this, though, is that the left is acting as if this is the equivalent of calling someone a rapist.
We're asking us to substantiate our ridiculous claims.
That's so dirty and underhanded!
Why would you do such a thing?
Why wouldn't you just let me spout my bollocks?
We're supposed to be able to hold these ridiculous claims in perpetuity without being challenged, you monsters!
Yeah, so a lot of memes have been made about this, and you've shared some of them, and they're great, so if you click on the image there, please, we can get this one up.
Believe all women?
Okay, some women.
Oh yeah, Amy came back, yeah.
Couldn't accuse her of rape, couldn't they?
But yeah, yeah, don't believe her, but then also, what is a woman?
I don't know.
Weird, 2022.
No idea.
Just melting their own movement.
If we go to the next one, we can see the fact-checkers to the rescue as well, being that they wanted to defend her here by saying that the Diversity High was asked to define women.
Science says there's no simple answer.
I don't care about science's opinion.
It's adult human female.
I'm sorry.
No, but the science does have an answer, which is adult human female as well.
I mean, like the professor of fertility, who we've had, we played the quip on question time, an excellent biologist, spent his entire life doing it, the best person in all of the UK, if not all of Europe for this subject.
And he was just like, you can't change your sex, for God's sakes.
And then the progressive next to him was like, yeah, but some people believe different.
And he was like, why have I wasted 70 years of my life?
But the thing is, they could say, well, science has no answer, but science isn't really responsible for categorizing.
That's a philosophical choice.
You can argue this, but even if you were to go to the science trademark and make that kind of argument, you still lose.
But even then, it's like, okay, but we don't need science to be able to define anything around us.
No.
If we go to the next one, we can also see the question of no man can kill me.
I am no man.
Then what are you?
I don't know.
I'm not a biologist.
Great.
I love this.
Okay, but how would you know you're not a man, then?
Yeah.
It's a good question.
It's so great.
I'm not a biologist.
I have no idea, mate.
Yeah.
And there's also just the logical circle.
I saw Vicky post this earlier on the Discord.
What is a woman?
I don't know.
Are trans women women?
Yes.
How do you know?
Because they are women.
But what is a woman?
I don't know.
Yeah.
And then forever and a bee, we have the circle.
Totally obliterated the word.
Yes.
which is why the turfs are like yeah we're not having this this is all kind of the funniest thing of just like the ideology being openly destroyed in the public sphere for millions of americans to see all the normies in the world have watched this which is great but then if we go to the next one there's the funniest aspect of all this that seems to have been completely dropped there should be a link in there john in which there's a twitter link which is that she was also asked about the black hebrew israelites and What was her opinion on the black Hebrew Israelites, Callum?
They were harmless vegans interested in healthy living.
As you can see there.
This case involved a small community, a cultural community of people who believe in vegan lifestyles.
Let's play it, because I want to hear it from her mouth, because it's even funnier.
So, diversity is higher.
Tell us what the black Hebrew Israelites are.
So this case involved a small community...
A cultural community of people who believe in vegan lifestyles.
They call themselves the African Hebrew Israelites, but it's not a religious community.
It's a cultural community around healthy living.
And they have created a restaurant and a series of restaurants here in the Washington, D.C. area with menus involving really, I'm told, terrific vegan foods.
Do they have any opinions on Hitler?
It sounds like a green text.
It sounds like I pitched with her and some green text below.
It's a vegan community of individuals who have got some reference.
I've heard they come up with a lentil dish, which has been mockingly given the German title after the Holocaust.
It's called Das Reich.
I think that's how it's pronounced.
So we'll play a clip of them describing their lovely vegan dish, Das Reich.
And let's enjoy.
It's a joke!
That's right!
That's right!
Don't shoot Hitler!
The holocaust is a janitor!
I'll give Hitler a hand!
That's right!
I'll give Hitler a hand!
All right!
You was robbing the janitor!
The Germans were suffering!
I did it!
You were oppressing the Germans!
You were oppressing the Germans?
You were stealing the German money.
That's right!
I can't imagine being in defense of these people.
Healthy vegans interested in healthy living.
Yeah, I mean, just look at them, you know?
They've got several restaurants and lovely dishes, I'm told.
Oh god, she's not going to start talking about ovens, is she?
Pulls up a jar, listen!
If a black Hebrew-Israelite vegan restaurant has 12 ovens and only 6 minutes to bake the cake...
How many cookies?
No!
What the hell is going on?
Like, why isn't a 4chan Greentech S-post become a topic for discussion for the candidate for the Supreme Court?
But she's like, they're just interested in vegan living.
She sounds like she's a whole costanier.
I know!
She probably is.
Maybe she is, yeah.
Could you imagine the reverse happening where someone's just like, so these four channels you hang out with on this board, I believe it's pronounced Poel that you hang out with?
Oh yeah, they're just basket weavers who are interested in basket weaving.
They've opened several online stores to deliver the basket weaving.
My cheeks are aching.
There's a reason I wanted to go through that.
So, yeah, I don't know if people could hear what the black vegans were screaming.
The Holocaust is a joke.
Heil Hitler.
Give Hitler a hand.
And then they started clapping and then saying that you were stealing the Germans' money, as in the Jews were.
And you were oppressing the German people.
Therefore you were oppressing the Germans.
That's the vegan community of Israelites.
That is such a horseshoe, though, isn't it?
I imagine going all the way around to actually...
I'm pro-Hitler.
I'm pro-Nazism.
Look, on the new Supreme Court, our diversity hires are pro-Hitler.
That's right.
Don't worry, don't worry.
Biden and Harris 2024.
Don't worry, they're black, it's okay.
For people who may not know...
Healthy vegans!
There is more that the vegan community has been up to in their time.
And you may remember this from the Covington media scandal.
Ah, I do!
So, for folks who don't know, some boys were smeared by the media en masse as shouting racist things, and then the media were caught lying by the video cameras that were there, showing it.
And eventually, CBS actually did run the reality, because they were shown to be liars, evidenced by the dislike.
But there were some racists there, weren't there?
There were.
The vegan community was out in force.
Let's play the clip.
You little dirty crackers, your day coming.
Your day coming.
When a radical group of protesters, called black Hebrew Israelites, taunted the boys for more than an hour with racist and homophobic abuse.
A bunch of child molested You could hear the black Hebrew Israelites shouting things.
Racist things at the white people.
They were shouting racist things.
And the white people were shouting racist things back at the black Hebrews.
Phillips couldn't be specific about what the boys shouted, and so far, no video evidence has emerged supporting his claims.
Because it didn't happen.
Yeah.
It just didn't happen.
I mean, there's literally video evidence of the entire, like, two, three hours.
Yeah.
And the vegan community were the ones shouting.
The vegan community.
The vegan community.
The average vegan is just standing up the street, piling Hitler and screaming racial epithets.
Are the Poltars going to start calling themselves vegan as well now?
I'm just picking broccoli for later.
That's a vegan Nazi community.
Why would she say that?
Why would she say that?
I don't know!
I don't know who the hell gave her that information, or if she's a poltard herself and is playing 5D chess.
Because, good lord, that is mad.
There is also...
Hitler was a vegetarian, good point, John.
That's the argument.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe that's why they're making up the vegan restaurants to honor Hitler.
If we go to the next one, we see NotTheBee also reported on a funny story around this, in which you can see from The View, Joe Baer here, saying that the diversity hire judge reminds her of Barack Obama because he was also perfect.
Oh!
This is the standard of perfection.
Okay.
Being a nonce advocate, not knowing what a woman is, can't solve the idea that someone can become black tomorrow, and also thinks that heiling Hitler is just a vegan activity.
I mean, we have radically different views on perfection.
That is the views version on perfection.
Mad.
If we go to the next one, we can see them posting out on their Twitter page as well, in which she says here, it's an embarrassment to the country to vote against a woman of this calibre.
A vegan of this calibre?
Oh boy.
These people are insane.
They must know they look insane.
Yeah, I did have a whole bunch of other stuff.
I think I'll end it there for this one and we'll come back to that because it's less related to diversity, Judge.
But yeah, that is the story of the vegan community of the United States and their endorsement by the Democratic Party, who is also running their nonce to be their judge.
On a slightly different note, Justin Trudeau has recently visited the European Union And it went down like an absolute lead balloon.
Now, I never thought I would hear myself praising Eurocrats for doing the right thing.
Well, these are going to be MEPs from based parties in Europe that were still held hostage by the EU. But no, it is most of them actually did the right thing.
Most of them?
Most of them.
That was shocking.
I know.
I was genuinely amazed.
But anyway, Justin Trudeau went to the European Parliament and decided to give a speech, and he must have thought that he was at Davos or something.
A vegan speech.
It kind of was.
Let's play the clip.
These are anxious times, and people are looking for leadership and solutions.
Unfortunately, we're seeing a rise in cynical populists who are trying to exploit these anxieties.
They pretend to have easy solutions that play on people's fears.
Even in Canada, where 90% of people are vaccinated, and our motto as a country is peace, order, and good government, We saw anti-vaccine and anti-government protests devolve into illegal occupations of our communities and blockades of our borders.
The leaders of those convoys were effective in turning citizens with real anxieties against the system best suited to allay those concerns.
What's with the weird, like, uncanny valley acting?
Yeah, you see Jacinda Ardern does the same thing.
I think it's a WEF training course they must go on or something like that.
But it kind of comes off like the way they speak, like the acting, for people who can't see because you're listening.
It's sort of like he's almost winking at you whenever he says something, as in like, yeah, we run the world.
Kind of.
I mean, Klaus Schwab did call Canada their first constituency.
I mean, maybe.
But you'll see that he's pathologizing a portion of his own population there.
He's saying, well, our citizens and the leaders of these convoys.
No, they are also your citizens.
You lunatic.
They're not, again, like the anti-vegans in Germany or something that you just need to get rid of, you evil man, right?
And we've seen Trudeau's terror troopers in action.
You can scroll down a bit just so you can see this one properly.
You know, this is the woman with the mobility scooter or whatever it is, the mobility aid, being trampled on by massive police horses.
There's a guy behind as well.
Yeah, currently being trampled.
The report from the police.
You remember the report from the police?
Don't worry, the horse isn't hurt.
Yes, the horses were fine and the people also survived, which is good.
But yeah, so this was something that the European Parliament had seen.
And they weren't impressed.
And then Trudeau got to hear from the MEPs and their opinions of him.
And you can tell that he was expecting a kind of Davos-style reception, but what he got was, well, I guess we can call it a Croatian-style reception instead.
A trial of Ceaușescu.
We'll get to that.
It's in foreign, but there are subtitles, so let's watch.
Unfortunately, today, among us and those who are gathering these fundamental values, Canada, some of the symbol of modern world, has been, under your own quasi-liberalism, under your own quasi-liberalism, the past few months, a symbol of crushing the fundamental human rights and civil freedom.
We've watched how women, women, How can you block bank accounts that they can't pay children's school, that they can't pay them, that they can't pay them, that they can't pay them, that they can't pay them, that they can't pay them, that they can't pay them, that they can't pay them for their homes.
For you are maybe liberal methods.
However, for many citizens of the world, it's a dictatorship of the top of the world.
You don't even need to be able to speak Croatian to understand a lot of those words.
Dictatoria, whatever it is.
Yeah, he's calling him a dictator.
For you, this may be liberal, but for us, you're a dictatorship of the worst kind.
Hey man, coming from a former Yugoslavian socialist republic.
Yeah, I mean, if anyone knows, you know, you're freezing citizens' bank accounts and treating them like they're evil, wow, you know, that was a hell of a chewing out.
But that's what I mean by the fact that he turned up, and there was a bit of a wink of a nod in the way he was acting.
In fact, he thought he was with a bunch of comrades in the international order, and instead, you must remember, at least half the EU was under socialist rule at one point, and therefore quite a lot of them aren't too keen on these people.
No.
And when they get the opportunity to voice this lack of keenness, they do.
What's more, here's a German MEP giving her opinion.
Based on Article 195...
I doubt that it would have been more appropriate for Mr.
Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, to address this House according to Article 144, an article which was specifically designed to debate violations of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, which is clearly the case with Mr.
Trudeau.
Then again, a prime minister who openly admires the Chinese basic dictatorship, who tramples on fundamental rights by persecuting and criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists, just because they dared to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy, should not be allowed to speak in this House at all.
Mr.
Trudeau, you are a disgrace for any democracy.
Please spare us your presence.
Thank you.
She got a big round of applause after that as well.
I should have left it on, really.
But yeah, so you can see this is not confined to just if there were British MEPs there, they'd have probably said We've all left.
Yeah, we've all left.
So this is not a problem.
But I mean, I love the way she brings this.
Well, according to Article 144, we should have done it under Article 257 or whatever.
It's like, oh God, I hate the bureaucracy of the EU, but at least they're right on this.
And so, yeah, I mean, it just, it carries on.
Let's go to the Romanian MEP who had something to say.
Love this guy.
And with the Prime Minister of Canada, the way he's behaving right now, he's exactly like a tyrant, like a dictator.
He's like Ceausescu in Romania.
If even you doubt, if you raise doubts about the vaccines, you're outcasted.
What's the difference between what he does and what happened under the Inquisition?
See, on one side they say, well, we should not believe in God, but on the other side they say, believe in science.
We don't have to.
Science is not about belief.
Science is about...
Measurements, conclusions, hypotheses and arguments.
When I saw the protests in Canada, you know, the way the truckers over there reacted, you know, I got in touch with some of them, others contacted me.
I congratulated them and I want to use this opportunity to thank them.
And I hope this movement for freedom and for rights is spreading all around the world.
Love it.
That was before.
I know, I know.
Just so people are clear.
Yeah, and there was also, he got chewed out by an Irish senator as well.
Well, I won't bother playing with it.
You can just get up and see.
She says, well, it sounded like something we'd hear about in Russia rather than the supposedly liberal democracy.
But I must say, I do really enjoy having it from former socialist countries, especially that Romania, where it's just like, we literally had to cut out the flag and overthrow him and shoot him against the wall at Ceausescu.
So they know about dictators.
They know about how they have lived under them.
The Romanian guy, like you said, it was during the trucker protest, but I had to include it because, like, you can see how bothered by this he is.
This is like...
He's going to crack out the Romanian liberty songs in America.
And the reason I say that it's actually most of the MEPs who deserve a bit of respect for this, because if you can go to the next one, John, you can see that this is where they actually simply, if you scroll down, when Trudeau was speaking, they'd almost all left.
They'd boycotted his speech.
Bye.
How embarrassing.
Good for them.
Absolutely good for them.
In total, it was six MEPs who stood up and took the opportunity to denounce him.
We could have gone through all the clips, but we'll save ourselves some time.
Moving on to the next one, this countersign will say, Not only has he been ridiculed in front of the entire European Union over his tyrannical response to people's protesters, participating in the Freedom Convoy, but nearly every MEP also boycotted his speech, leaving him to humiliatingly utter his platitudes on democracy to an almost empty parliament.
How great is that?
Good for them.
Honestly, I'm just shocked.
How do you think this was reported?
I imagine none of the cameras looked at the seats.
I imagine they all just looked at Trudeau and went, oh, good man.
Well, yes, but I mean by the media more broadly.
That's what I mean.
I imagine they ignored it.
Yes, they did.
If you can go to the next one, if you can just scroll down here, right?
This was widely reported by right-wing non-Canadian media.
Keep going down, keep going down.
So I'll show you some of the examples.
So you've got like, you know, various sort of dissident publications, you might say.
Sky News Australia, a Serbian outlet, you know, blah, blah, blah.
The Canadian press tried to ignore this, and when, obviously no left-leaning outlets, or I would consider left-leaning, report on this.
But when they did report on it, they decided to just tell an untruth.
The Canadian CBC claimed that Justin Trudeau received a standing ovation of his speech in the EU. I mean, look, if his press secretary claps and he's the only one there, that's a standing ovation.
There are three people there standing and applauding.
And that's it!
My press officer, my secretary, and my security guard are all clapping me, so I've done very well.
Failing to mention that over nine-tenths of the parliament had left in protest before he began.
That is just awful.
Speaking before half-empty benches and packed public galleries, Trudeau received a sustained ovation when he said that the European Union and NATO are more united than ever in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin's war.
He said, the world cannot let Ukraine down.
They weren't just half empty, though.
They were almost entirely empty, as we saw a minute ago.
No one wanted to hear Trudeau's speech, and he was denounced throughout his visit to Parliament.
So, bravo.
Well done, European Union.
You did something right.
Never thought I'd say it.
Ever.
But I'm very proud of you.
Also, I imagine for any Canadians on this thing who have been annoyed by some of the lack of denunciations.
Yes.
Oh, man, all of the sort of Canadian representatives of the sort of online space, people like, you know, Viva Fry and Shortfire Taco, all of them loving it.
Absolutely loving it.
There's Viva Fry on his Clips channel actually has a five-minute compilation of Trudeau just being chewed out relentlessly for five straight minutes.
It's gold.
I could have played it, but I didn't think we'd have time.
We actually do have time.
But yeah, so that's that.
Good to see.
Yeah, love it.
Go to the video comments.
Look at that little leprechaun.
Don't shoot the leprechaun.
Oh, okay.
Weesh!
Wow, that's raining bro!
Yeah, awesome aren't they?
Just the rate of fire on those things.
What was that?
Looks amazingly fun.
The PPSH, so the Russian weapon won the war.
I always loved them playing Call of Duty growing up, because they were just the funniest gun, because it just burns through all your ammo, and you're just screwed.
I just thought it was the funniest thing, so then I got a little love for it there.
Also, I don't know what you're doing with that gas mask, but is that one safe?
Because I've heard rumours apparently those ones can give you cancer.
So...
The Russian ones aren't great, but I'm sure you're taking precautions, but if you haven't, please do.
Otherwise, let's go to the next one.
One of Calamus Hill's biggest selling points is that their swords are latex-free, so if you have any latex allergies in the family, then that's a good thing.
The long sword that I have is the Sir Radzig's sword from Kingdom Come Deliverance.
The blue one is Imperious from Shadowversity's Shadow of the Conqueror.
They're both very nice and comfortable to use, and I've had a lot of fun with them.
Hmm.
That's alright, Spartan Lycogos messaged me the other day talking about how he's getting the swords ready.
So, be on with some of them.
But if anyone else needs one, definitely give it a look.
Hey guys, a question for Carl.
My son is about to turn 18 after a good idea for a birthday present, something that's quite symbolic for coming of age.
At the moment, the plan is to take him to a tailor's and get a couple of suits made.
One for him, one for me.
I just wanted to know if you had any other ideas, something interesting.
Thanks.
Well, I'm afraid I don't know any of his interests, so I can't think of anything particularly tailored to him, pun intended.
But taking him to go get a really nice suit, that's a really great idea.
So I actually totally support that, so yeah, no, I'll go for that.
This is a good idea, but I think this is...
It's 18, you can go out and drink properly in this country, isn't it?
Yes.
So when that happened, my whole family, we all went out, we had a meal, just a traditional thing we did on birthdays, and then I got my first drink, and then everyone went home except for my brother and his girlfriend were like, right...
We're going to get you absolutely yes-faced.
And it was awful.
We ended up so drunk, we were climbing up the hill in the middle of the road, and he ended up passing out on my bed.
I had to sleep in my chair.
I was sick everywhere.
But it meant that I never got that bad ever again.
That is also a good idea for a traditional coming-of-age.
Which is like, yeah, I know we're going to teach you why binge drinking isn't good.
Don't become an alcoholic.
I'm not endorsing that, but...
No, no, well, not getting that drunk, but taking him out for his first beer is probably also a good idea, too.
All right, let's go to the next one.
Tent on an adaptation of Woodhouse's Tales, Granada TV approached Brian Laurie, who only agreed because they realized no one else could quite capture his wonderful wings.
That's it!
Ah, what do we want, Agatha?
Have you seen the Hemingways this morning?
Despite being moderate, Woodhouse wrote descriptively of imbibing to excess, as well as capturing the mores of the time.
Look, I don't want to go to any blasted museum!
Batty!
Kindly restrain your language, Batty.
Better time.
I honestly can't imagine a time in which such mild swear words were considered so serious.
Like, I've read about the Victorians, apparently trouser was still verboten in the 1800s.
Because it referred to your genitals, technically.
Oh, did it?
Your trousers.
Oh, right.
That sort of thing.
Polite conversation.
Fair enough.
Good point.
Let's go to the next one.
I pulled this plug out of an apartment unit.
Somebody had been running a 1500 watt electric heater off of an extension cord that was rated for probably about 900 watts.
So these outlets are rated to handle 1500 watts of output but if the extension cord isn't rated to handle the load then it starts to heat up and so it melted the plug and also the cord end on the heater itself making both dangerous and unusable.
At least it only melted it.
Yeah, I suppose so.
Yeah, it's good knowledge to know.
Got an electric heater, don't want to bugger that up.
See you next time.
Hey guys, I'm not going to show my podcast or anything, but if you're watching this live and you can get in the gold tickle, come on down because I made a promise for Ford, didn't I, about the story of the Dojo Wars.
This is my favourite story to tell people because it is the most stupid thing that happened in any sport ever in all of the history of sports.
And...
It happened!
It is as dumb as it sounds when I tell this story.
Okay.
Well, I guess we'll see.
Zoom call a bit at 3.30.
I'm expecting a midget versus a sumo wrestler and the midget wins.
Awesome story.
Apparently that does happen, Joss says.
Hey guys, greeting from Utah.
My name's Ben Campbell and I appreciate the work you guys have been doing.
Very good podcast.
Enjoyed it a lot.
I'll have some more comments and stuff later down the road once I think of them.
But anyway, thanks and fun fact, I live 100 feet higher than Ben Nevis.
No way!
It's really interesting.
You wouldn't know, but just by looking, would you?
I was going to ask where the hell you were, because there's something honking in the background as well.
Yeah.
I don't know what that is.
Well, that's cool, man.
I've been to Utah.
It was really nice.
Everyone there was really friendly.
You know, very, like, everything was in, like, ship shape, you know, well-maintained.
Didn't you go to Salt Lake City?
Yeah.
Did you see the Salt Lake?
In the distance.
Yeah.
In my mind, you can just pick up salt and just take it home.
I don't know.
I would have got some if you could, but no, I don't.
See you on the next one.
Got our microcomputer, also known as Raspberry Pi, hooked up for the Power Armor for possibly one of the most important parts you can imagine.
We'll just crawl up the Power Armor's butt to take a peek at it.
If anyone's interested, you can find me on YouTube at 9mecworks.
Behold, a heads-up display, including movable graphic elements, gyroscope sensor to move those elements, date, time, and temperature.
That's actually awesome.
Yeah, that's great.
That's really cool.
I was thinking the other day, you know when you go back and watch like, um, sort of sci-fi movies from the 2000s or 90s or whatever, and they've always got some kind of gizmo and...
What I love is the CRT screens.
Yeah.
Here's this giant CRT monitor.
It's very sci-fi.
But also, sometimes you'll have the thing of, oh, wouldn't it be cool if you could call someone and see their face?
And that's kind of real.
But I'd love to remake it in the way that the movie had it.
As in, sometimes you'll have where this is all a touchscreen, right?
And you can just move your fingers around.
It's all digital and stuff.
I bet that's possible now.
Oh, yeah.
I bet you can very easily make that.
Yeah.
Just for a laugh.
Just totally impractical.
Exactly.
That's what I said for a laugh.
There's no other reason.
You're not going to make money, that's for sure.
Let's go to the next one.
Tony D and Little Joe with another legend of the pines.
The bunker at Cape May Point, otherwise known as Battery 223.
This is a World War II bunker built in the early 40s to defend South Jersey from the Nazis.
Legend has it a Nazi crew, sub-crew, that sank off the coast...
Sometimes haunts the area, but don't worry, there are also ghosts of soldiers who are still on patrol.
Thank you for your service, ghost soldiers.
Well, they've got to fend off the ghost Nazis.
Yeah, ghost soldiers and ghost Nazis fighting every night on the shores of New Jersey to defend the United States.
Although, I'm really interested, why the hell, like, the American government wasted money on that?
Presumably it was the state government thinking that they were helping.
Germans were like, look, if we can just take New Jersey...
They didn't even have the capacity to take Britain, and that would have been the obvious target.
Not landing some, I don't know, ten guys in New Jersey to then overthrow the United States.
I just wonder why on earth that was actually approved.
Why the money was spent on a bunker in the middle of the United States.
Great question.
We're not going to get answers to.
Well, you never know.
He knows everything about New Jersey.
I ghosted it.
The ghost governor still signs off on bad checks.
Next one.
Everyone vote.
Mac wants the flamethrower.
Mac wants the what?
That's what he said, now move!
Damn it.
Hey, Jenny, I booked you a nail appointment, love.
Damn it, child, torch it!
Amy POTUS. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to our meet-up.
Have you ever watched the thing?
No.
Oh, it's really good.
It's John Carpenter, who was really good anyway, in the 80s, and so the special effects have, of course, dated, right?
But the atmosphere of the entire thing, because it's six guys trapped in an Arctic station...
And they come across an alien craft or something.
And in the craft is an alien.
But the alien lives inside things' bodies and mutates them.
And he gets inside the dog.
And that comes in and that's him torching the sort of like the big mutated dog alien.
But then he gets in one of them.
And then they've got to figure out which one is the alien.
And it's really, really intense.
I remember watching it when I was like 12 years old and being like, oh my god.
I didn't sleep for like a week.
It was really, really intense.
Really good.
Why if they burn the dog thing, did it not die?
It did die.
Oh.
But the thing gets into your blood.
Then it takes you.
Somehow.
I can't remember exactly.
It's a movie.
But yeah, but the point is like, yeah, and it ends with the two guys just looking at each other, not knowing which one is the thing, with the flamethrowers at each other.
It's really good.
Probably neither of them as well.
Yeah, exactly.
Probably neither of them.
The point is they don't make movies like that anymore, which are good and have tension, actually matter, stakes.
Good stuff.
Definitely recommend.
Go to the next one.
Hey.
Here we go.
Hey.
No.
No.
She sees the ball.
What's the problem?
What?
What?
Look.
It's there.
Did you see?
Stop it!
They're all in there.
She's trying to lift the ball.
Harley, I swear to god.
Look.
Don't stop chewing the ball.
They are in the ball.
God, lizards are f***ing stupid.
How these things survive in the wild, I have no f***ing clue.
Yeah, it's mad, isn't it?
But bearded dragons are great.
Maybe it's just him.
Maybe he's just blind.
You put the food right in front of him and he's just like, nah.
Bearded dragons are really interesting, though.
They don't really do anything.
They're really popular pets.
They've got the word dragon in it.
Kaleen Sloan says, Well, I'm glad that you've got the sun.
Although, saying that, it's quite sunny here.
Amarabi says, Okay, disavow.
Because we probably contractually have to.
Rose says, I feel the need to point out that even real women don't generally discuss their cervical smears.
Gross.
Good point.
I don't know, I'm not a woman.
Exactly, when would I ever know?
I mean, I can say they don't do it with men, if that's helpful, but I don't know what they talk about with each other.
Well, that's probably a good point.
I bet the...
The party guys there, the trans guys, probably do spend a disproportionate amount of time discussing their vagina problems of the neovaginas, compared to women who talk about their vaginas.
Well, that's an awful thought, isn't it?
Yeah, but I bet they do.
Yeah, I bet they do.
It's really gross.
There was a bit I skipped over a bit, but they say the idea that trans women aren't parents is a myth.
We also make amazing parents much better than the Mumsnet cultists who disown their kids for being trans positive.
What percentage of Mumsnet users?
Probably not many.
We protect our kids from rape and abuse rather than project our own insecurities on them constantly.
Really?
I believe it.
Anyway, moving on.
Right.
Do you know where you left off?
Yeah, no, no, I'll get it.
Taffy says, why would the tease be on Mumsnet?
Oh yeah, that's right.
Invasion of normal spaces to fuel the delusions of womanhood, lol.
Like the woke invasion of many hobbies by people who are too stupid to enjoy them.
See, comics will hammer it all.
Not that being a mother is a hobby.
Yeah, I was about to say, my favourite hobby being a mum.
Well, if you're a man...
Oh god, oh yeah.
Maybe it does take on the aspect of the hobby.
Yeah.
Exactly.
It's not something that's an intrinsic part of your life.
It's something you have to buy into.
Pay 20 bucks at the bookstore.
Well, probably a bit more than that.
But yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
He's not wrong.
It's in every space.
It's about proselytizing the religion rather than talking about the core content of what's being discussed.
Propagation of the faith.
Yes.
Taffy also says, pro-trans protesters marching through Manchester.
They look exactly like the typical pro-noncing pro-trans commie NPCs.
That's because they are.
You can hear the pro-commie NPC chants coming out of their mouths.
A-C-A-B. I mean, the way they say it, the accent is just...
I know, but you mentioned the point.
The fact that they're all stood there.
All cops are bastards, mate.
These aren't American police.
They're not still interested in being neutral in any respect.
Our police are fully brought into the party line with those people.
I'm just amazed the cops weren't also chanting it.
Yeah.
Frankly.
Taking the knee as well.
Yeah, you're right.
Those turfs are evil.
All cops are bastards.
We complain, and sometimes people say, you know, we might use an Americanism or whatever.
But with stuff like this, this is where it's so transparent that the individuals have just been subverted by a foreign ideology.
Because it's just like, well, no, the cops are on your side, you idiot.
It literally doesn't make any sense.
You've got LGBT police divisions.
Wasn't it Faircop that found that they were basically secret police?
Yes.
And so it's just like, okay, what are you complaining about?
All cops are on your side.
You have your own Stasi.
Yeah.
You have your own, what is it, Bureau of Security.
What do you want?
And you found some dissidents who disagree with the party.
Free Will says, Yes, and the depressing part is the head of MI6 is also one of them.
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to think why they wouldn't.
I mean, there have been other TERFs who have been injured by these people.
In fact, they get death threats all the time.
Like...
It's terrible.
What can you do?
Lord Nerevar says, It's such a nuisance to be in direct combat with the tea lobby.
If they framed their movement through personal choice and freedom, nobody would care, and people like us would probably tacitly support them.
That's true.
But no, they just had to F around on the definition of words and try to erase the concept of women entirely, so now we have to destroy them politically.
Yeah, no, that's also true.
Like, if your entire movement is contingent on forcing me to believe something that, A, I don't already believe, and B, is obviously false, then I, you know, it is an irreconcilable difference, and so it has to be the political destruction of their movement.
Yeah, I mean, this is the difference between the movement and the people as well.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, you'll find...
Well, we know loads of trans people who are, like, not...
Well, Debbie Hayden is probably the best example of this in the UK. Like, she's mentioned many a time that she's like, well, look, we've been around forever.
We've been doing our thing.
And it's just all of a sudden you've had this ideological movement that has insisted not only do you just have to tolerate us and just let her do her thing because it's free, free country.
No, you have to accept that we are definitely women, 100%.
We're allowed to come into the women's bathrooms Compete in the women's sports.
Convert your children from the age of four.
Why four, actually?
Three.
That'll be better.
It's ridiculous.
No, no, no.
But that's a new thing.
It's seven or up.
That's right.
I'm a conservative.
But this is the point, isn't it?
Whether you like it or not, the TERFs are right that the trans ideology is destroying women's spaces.
Women's sports, women's private spaces away from men.
If only men could get private spaces away from women.
I'm not even joking.
Bring back working men's clubs.
Yeah.
But it's, you know, this is the logical conclusion of the line of, well, men and women don't deserve spaces away from each other.
And the women were like, well, the feminists began this by saying, well, these are all boys' networks.
It's like, not really.
Well, what are girls' networks?
Yeah, exactly.
Like, come on, let's not pretend these things don't exist.
Exactly.
Like, girls' networks are just as pervasive as boys' networks were.
And now no one gets any kind of gendered private space.
You were the architect of this.
The men didn't do this.
But now the men are going to finish this.
I'm going to be in the girls' networks.
Zachary says, all cops are bastards.
Translate, all cops not crushing the skulls of our enemies are bastards.
Yes, that's true.
Alexander says, Honestly, there is a part of me Honestly, there is a part of me that's very sympathetic says, Honestly, there is a I know, but there's redemption as well.
I mean, Glynner's the best example of this.
He's not a woman, but he is someone who...
I'll be the judge of that, thank you.
Well, he's someone who denounced Count Dankula repeatedly.
Everyone knows the story, if you don't.
Just like, Glynner, Dankula.
He called him a fascist.
Yeah, he literally wanted Dankula to cancel from everything.
Dankula's literally a libertarian.
He went out of his way to message other comedians to not stand in support with Dankula because he just wanted him gone and would never come and hurt him.
The New World Order.
No, it did.
And then he got crushed.
Absolutely crushed by the Insectionals because Glyna is a turf.
And then he admitted, well, actually, yeah, no, I realize I've been lying.
Like, I was doing lying.
I was doing it because these people were leading me on and therefore, you know, he's back in the books as someone who is reasonable because he's come face to face with the ideologues and realized, oh, wait, no, everyone around me is not.
But that's the point.
This will be, I think, confirmed to be over when we can have a male-only space again.
No girls in my Warhammer club.
I'm joking.
I actually don't care.
There are no women there anyway.
No, there aren't.
What was the Muslim guy we were listening to who just said, we have different rules?
I think it was when I remember the Taliban, actually.
But he just...
But everything else wrong that they have...
What were the Taliban saying about this, then?
Brother Omar made a good point, brother.
Okay.
Which is just that he said, look, we have different rules for men and women.
And look, that is a reality because men and women are different.
Yes.
And once we reject...
That opposite view which we've had and accept the reality instead that men and women are different.
They deserve different rules for circumstances.
They're in spaces, for example.
That's a different rule.
Then we can move forward as a society.
Otherwise, we're going to be stuck in this.
I mean, I think there's a very fair compromise to be had here.
In some respects, we're the same.
In some respects, in other respects, we're different.
And so in those respects that we're the same, we should have the same rules.
And in those respects in which we're different, we can have different rules.
Like, why not?
That's the point that Brother Omar was making.
Oh, was it?
Yeah.
What, Brother Omar was making a sort of fundamentally egalitarian point, was he?
With that specific interview, yes.
Right, okay.
He was talking to a Vice journo, so...
Oh, right, okay.
Jimbo says, middle-class social media addicts are desperate to have some sort of civil rights movement, aren't they?
Ah, and yes, this.
Hitting right at the heart of the issue here, Jimbo.
That is exactly the problem.
Middle-class social media addicts with no form of oppression.
Yeah.
If only someone would oppress the middle class social media users.
It must be at least 70% of Labour delegates I've ever seen at these conferences.
Probably 90% of all Lib Dem members I've ever seen.
It's the same problem.
Obviously very online.
So nothing going on.
You're so online and you've just been radicalised into this weird place.
Yeah.
Have all the world's ills been solved to the point where we're mutilating children and then improgression?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's basically it.
Zenchan says, of course Mumsnet is the enemy of the establishment.
We already know they want to break down the family.
Point.
Mumsnet.
Yeah, no, no, the establishment.
Oh, sorry, yeah.
Mumsnet.
The shining hill that we have to die on.
The single Mumsnet.
Yours mums with nuclear families, get out!
Single trans Mumsnet.
George Happ says, I love the fact that the alphabet Frankenstein monster is attacking its creator.
Feminists thought they could beat men over the head with false claims of bigotry, a very imaginary identity, but it's backflied spectacularly.
I'm definitely on the popcorn side of this debate.
To be honest with you, I feel I have to support the TERFs because they are right in their definition of woman.
And that's it.
That's literally it.
What are the TERFs right about?
Well, they can define a woman.
Also, they're going to win.
Well, in this country, they're going to win.
But in America, they might not win.
What about them?
I'm joking, of course.
No, I think they'll win in America as well.
Honestly, I don't think the trans guys have got a leg to stand on.
I don't know.
It seems excessively ideological in America.
America, being a propositional nation, means that everyone in it is inherently more ideological than people in Britain, I think.
There's only so much running you can do with that, though.
Because once you run into reality, things do seem to break down.
Sure.
I'm not saying they're not going to have their Chairman Mao moment or anything like that.
Well, the school, for example, in which they denied that the rape took place.
And then the parents all rallied.
And we've seen this amazing movement from all the American parents.
For critical race theory and for this and all the rest of it.
Yeah, but the thing is, the...
Americans are indoctrinated in schools, given ideological propositions in schools.
They always were.
They pledge allegiance to the flag and the values, the constitution it stands for, values are independent, stuff like this.
It's ideological, and it always has been.
And it's not the same, right?
And it does make them a bit different, I think.
And so I don't know that, you know, this is going to win.
Like, normalcy is going to win.
I don't know that in America.
I do think it will happen in Britain, because we're not very ideological.
We're stupid.
That's obviously a bloke in a dress.
Duh.
You know.
What are you risking me for?
I disagree.
I think the Americans will win this fight if they fight it well.
Because I just don't think the trans guys have got anything to stand on.
In the sense that, sure, it's all propositional and you can argue with the other side.
But when it's this bare bones and you still have the ability to have free speech and free debates, one side is going to lose the argument.
It's the side without any evidence.
Well, let's hope so.
But I really do agree with George here.
I am eating a lot of popcorn over this.
I've got to say, I'm enjoying watching all of this happen.
Because we warned about this years ago that this would happen.
And now it's happening, and it's just like, yeah, well, you know, carry on.
I do hope the people who are talking about reality win, but...
Rose again says, why do these protest chants always sound up ending like schoolyard taunts?
Like, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah.
Good question.
It's because they kind of are.
Yes.
If you go to a protest, it's like this.
It's always a very mob mentality.
Yes.
But they're also university-age students, you can see.
When we watch the group, they all look very young and stupid.
They're never going to battle themselves on the railings and fight against the police.
No, they're Mao's radicalized students.
Anyway, Simplicus Simplicimus says, hey, they're talking about the Supreme Court nominee.
What was her name, by the way?
I don't care.
Diversity high.
Diversity high, okay.
She must not be named, or cannot be named.
No, just should not be named.
Should not be named.
Because Biden couldn't even be bothered.
Yes.
I'm going to do as much work as he did, and just be like, yeah, the black woman.
Well, we can't call her a woman.
Oh yeah, I don't know which that is.
Anyway.
We can't call her black either.
No.
Hey, at least she admitted it was a question of biology and not identity.
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly it.
It's a real foot-in-mouth moment for the progressive movement.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe those days were a bit of a fiction.
It makes you wonder.
Anyway, Lee says, I knew all along those bloody vegans were behind all of this.
Bacon knights assemble.
They're just vegan restaurant owners, bro.
It's a vegan symbol, what are you talking about?
I know they're called the Hebrew Israelites, but it's not a religious thing.
Okay.
Cultural vegan movement.
So who do you think you're fooling?
Stevie says, what I don't understand is if you can't define what a woman is, how can you say you feel like you want to be a woman?
You can't even say what one is, let alone how being one feels.
Their own argument ruins their movement if you just play it out.
Yeah, well, you'll notice that they always assume very stereotypical, dare we say, patriarchal, well, literally the patriarchal stereotypes of what a woman is.
When they say, right, I'm going to be a woman, so I'm going to wear high heels and a dress, it's like, oh, that's very feminist.
That's right.
Get in the kitchen.
Why not a hoodie and some jeans?
Yeah, exactly.
I know loads of women dressed like that.
You don't.
It's interesting because you'll notice that they've always had a policy, specifically Stonewall is the best example for that, where they would not debate this issue ever because they know as soon as the discussion comes up...
They lose.
I mean, just the PR battle alone, they definitely lose.
And you can see that playing out in real time.
Yeah.
As John said here, she can't take the role.
The role is for a black woman.
She can't identify as a woman without knowing what a woman is.
Good point.
She's got to recuse herself.
How did Brandon know that he picked a woman?
Yeah.
Well, that's a good question.
What characteristic did he identify the woman with?
How did he know that she is black?
Presumably he didn't vote for Trump.
Speaking of Sleepy Joe, though, Justin makes a good point.
Given his fondling fetish, are you sure the diversity hire being a non-supporter wasn't a requirement rather than being overlooked?
Not.
That's a good point.
Look, I really want someone who's really lax on the nonces, because I might be in trouble one day, says Joe.
I mean, he's the one who supports him.
Him and Bill.
Yeah.
And, I mean, it depends how conspiratorial you want to get.
But, like, anyway, Matthew says, shouldn't supporting nonces disqualify her?
Well, like Justin pointed out, it may have been a requirement.
This just cements the fact that the legacy media is the enemy of the people.
Because if she got the Kavanaugh treatment, then she would have not made it this far.
Well, they think that asking her to explain herself is the Kavanaugh treatment.
Did you tell us what you think?
God, you treat me just like we treat Kavanaugh.
I kind of wonder, like, what could the Republicans even do if they wanted to be as dirty as the games that were played against Kavanaugh?
Just because pure politics is dirty, right?
Let's just say they just became Machiavellian.
What could they even pull that is worse than what they've already asked her?
Maybe she killed a child?
Yeah, I think that's probably it.
I don't know what else they could possibly accuse her of that is worse than being a non-sympathiser and knowing literally nothing.
But you want to be the judge of the land.
I mean, I think it would have to be, you know, she'd murdered a kid or something.
Run over a dog with a car and laughed at it.
Andrew says, It shouldn't amaze me how evasive leftist candidates and politicians are in answering rather basic questions.
I suppose it does, though, because of how effectively the MSM spins the evasiveness such that most people never hear of it.
For example, headlines decrying Cruz's line of questioning but not saying how Brown Jackson could or wouldn't answer.
I didn't see that sound.
John wrote, what dog?
What are you, a zoologist?
Yeah.
The media truly is the enemy of the people.
Yeah, it's gross, isn't it?
Zoranax says, my name is Joe Biden.
In the light of many videos showing my alleged inappropriate behavior with children, whispering sweet nothings, and pinching them, and worse, I will nominate a black woman who just happens to rule fairly on the side of the pedophiles.
Wait, my daughter wrote a diary and my son has pictures of a young girl in lingerie?
This confirmation must pass.
Yeah, there's a lot of things that float around.
Did you ever read any of the diary?
Joe Biden's daughter's diary?
No, you did for a segment.
Yeah, it was gross.
Concerning.
Hammurabi says, Blackface Hitler talking about solutions without a hint of irony.
Good point.
In Europe?
Yeah, no one in Europe.
It's a European empire.
Notice how no one in the EU brought up his blackface.
That's an American pathology.
Yeah.
I just don't care about that.
Also, there were basically no black people in the entire EU. Like, in the politician side.
You ever looked at that?
Yeah, yeah, good point.
Because I remember this being a debate during the Brexit referendum.
We'd have politicians over here say, well, you can't leave the EU, that's racist.
It's like, okay, well, here's all the EU politicians.
One black guy.
James says, the Trudeau roast at the EU was brutal.
It's good to hear someone in politics finally call him out for the hypocritical tyrant he is.
Yeah, and he's straight to his face as well.
Glorious.
He's just got to sit there.
For literally, like, you know, half an hour where another one gets up, you're scum.
I'll tell you, yeah.
Student of History says, while Canada must be bad if an ex-communist, ex-Yugoslav current EU member excoriating him on multiple levels.
Well, we all saw it.
You know, they're just literally saying everything that we're saying.
SH Silver says, our Prime Minister has embarrassed the country and makes me embarrassed that our opposition is too disjointed to stand up against him.
Things might be changing as those populist Trudeau are scared of take up more space in the Conservatives, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah, I wish the Conservatives and Camden would do something, but then I wish the Conservatives here would do something.
So, what do I know?
I don't know if it's a structural problem over there as well, but...
The natural solution would be to just start running for office and take those seats.
Yeah.
BaldEagle1787 says, when the EU, the bastion of overbearing government and bureaucracy, is roasting you, you messed up.
Yes.
Exactly.
I mean, and I love...
We are undemocratic, but you!
Yeah, we literally repudiate democracy, but you're terrible.
I'm a member of a parliament that literally can't vote on the laws.
Yeah, exactly.
Like you, man.
That's the thing.
The bureaucratic nature is like, ah, instead of this article, we should be using this article.
She was a German.
Exactly.
It's just so gross and bureaucratic.
But they were right, so give me that.
You would have thought that Trudeau would have taken the hint that no world leader likes him, especially at the G20 summit in 2019, when both Ping and Bolsonaro blatantly ignored him, and the latter initiated a conversation with someone to his left to get the point across.
Yeah, you've seen that, right?
Trudeau's like, can we talk to him?
Bolsonaro's just like, he looks like he's about to kill someone anyway.
Well, he always does, doesn't he?
Like, you'd be sitting there drinking tea and he'd look like he'd about to, like, execute someone.
Yeah, he's some mean-looking person.
Have you seen the, what was it?
I can't remember which guy it was, but there's a photo of just, like, the Swedish feminist government and the Swedish Minister for Defence.
Yeah.
And she's, like, this little lady all looking cute.
27-year-old.
Yeah.
Tinder thought.
And then there's the Minister for Defence for Poland, and it's this, like, 60-year-old-looking guy that looks like he comes out of a death squad.
Yeah, he looks like he's going to literally kill anyone he walks into.
That one is fake news.
You just didn't see him.
When he saw him 20 seconds later, they did shake hands pretty normally.
Right, okay.
Talking about Bolsonaro.
Right, okay.
Thanks, John.
Didn't know that, but it looked bad.
Rick says, Justin Trudeau proposes final solution.
Tomorrow's headline today, maybe.
Likely, frankly.
George says, I want to compliment you guys on an excellent choice of image for that story.
Trudeau's history of quote-unquote boxing is well known, and much was made of how manly he was because of it.
It wasn't until later we realized that he wore an eyebrow wig and was such a fan of repressive regimes.
I forgot about the eyebrows.
There was this one photo of him where the thing had slipped down, and it was like, what the hell's that?
It's like, that's an eyebrow wig.
I didn't even know such a thing existed.
Yeah, yeah, a Trudeau eyebrow wig.
He shaved his eyebrows off.
I don't know.
Maybe he's just got feminine eyebrows.
Sorry.
Has anyone ever come up to you and said, your eyebrows are a bit thin?
Well, not mine.
No, but that's the thing.
When would that happen?
But now I'm judging your eyebrows.
They are a bit thin, Callum.
I'm going to have to start wearing butchie eyebrows.
Start drawing them on like women.
Grant says, we change our clocks in Canada.
We did it two weekends ago.
We also do it a different week in the fall, too.
You mean the autumn.
Don't know why you can't just get with the program.
Must be that English culture.
Yeah.
I mean, we probably started doing it.
I believe we did.
The guy who did it wanted to go out and catch butterflies more.
It's really dumb.
What?
It was a personal hobby of his.
Well, yeah, I gathered that.
He was there for the glory of the Empire.
An argument was made that it would save on coal usage and also would help farmers, and it doesn't really seem to have any real effect.
Apart from increasing suicides.
It's all just kind of theatre now, it seems.
It's so not significant that we shouldn't be doing it.
I'd rather get up an hour later in the winter.
Yeah.
It's going to be dark all the time.
Sorry, an hour earlier in the winter.
Anyway.
Carbohydrate Crusader says, Alright lads, white pill for me yesterday.
Me and the missus found that our baby is going to be a boy.
We're buzzing.
Congratulations!
Have a good weekend, low seaters, and a drink to my little fella's good health if you're having a tipple.
All the best.
Will do.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Not much of a drink, but...
Edward of Numenor says, Police, being offensive is an offence.
I got your back, guys.
Protesters, all cops are bastards.
Police, why don't you love me?
I try so hard.
Yeah.
It's awful.
They'll kill you too.
This is the thing.
It's like a landlord who's professed his love of communism.
It doesn't matter.
You're a landlord!
They're literally going to eat you.
Yes!
Like, what do you really think is going to happen as a socialist revolution?
Like, the diversity cops are all going to be forgiven.
So what are you doing for your next book club?
So I'm doing the Cultural Revolution, and I imagine you're referencing.
So there's a page in there, and we'll do a bit of a spoiler here, because we're almost done with it.
We're going to try and do it live as well, which will be fun.
And there's a page in there in which one section was ordered that they should purge the landlords and capitalist roadsters and all this.
So they just rounded up a bunch of people they decided were bad and just killed them all, like crashed their heads in with hammers or cut their throats or hung them.
And then decided that, well, perfectly good meat.
So they cut them up.
But also there was a hierarchy.
So if you were a party member, you got the liver, for example.
And if you were just an average peasant, then you got to hack at the legs for what you could.
And then when the party realized that they were doing this, they expelled the guys who did it from the party.
No more.
It's just such a punishment.
You shouldn't be in the party anymore because you issued this.
And then they put the guy on trial to be like, well, why did you do this?
And he went, what?
I was eating the rich.
And we're just like, well, I can't fault the brother.
He's following the ideology to the latter.
I mean, amazing.
I mean, it's a good point, isn't it, really?
Eat the rich, well, okay.
Nom!
Anyway, the last one's from Benjamin.
He says, Regarding Trudeau's way of speaking, I recognize that style of speaking.
In XCOM 2, the propaganda spokesperson for the alien occupation speaks just like that, Cadence and everything.
Yeah, it's some sort of corporate training.
Like, it sounds reassuring and competent and responsible.
That's what Trudeau does.
It's also creepy.
Like, it's uncanny.
Oh, yeah, it's gross.
