Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seasers for the 31st of March 2022.
I'm joined by Harry.
Hello.
And today we're going to be talking about Disney's gay agenda.
Literally, that's their own words, not ours.
Also, lynching has finally made a crime.
Black people can sleep easy at night.
Finally, it's been taking so long.
And the left's new manlet, hashtag Short Kingspring.
Yes, a very exciting subject for you, I'm sure.
You're going to be telling us about the, what is it, the woke new man.
Yes, the woke new man.
The Soviet new man, pin him.
It's the woke new man.
The intersectional man.
Too strong.
So, let's mention some first things on the website that we should mention that it's not going up.
So the news thing here, firstly, being the hangout number eight, how Britain has changed that we and Carl did together, in which, quite frankly, we just looked at the statistics and then had a look at the footage that backed up the statistics, obviously.
Video evidence.
A very different country back in the day.
Yeah, but also just the video evidence that Britain is not a nation of immigrants, and you can literally time it right up until, like, the 80s, in which you have a large explosion over time, and then it gets worse under Tony Blair, of course, exponentially, as in, like, the changes are more and more apparent, and to say otherwise is obviously just factually wrong.
Well, you're just being obviously lying.
Yeah, but it has to be hammered down because people just get away with saying this crap.
Unopposed these days.
But if we go to the next one, we also have the interview that you did with Bill Ottman from Mines.
Yeah, it was a very interesting interview.
We were talking about an initiative that he's been doing recently where he's talking about how it's actually...
I think he issued an...
I authored an 80-page paper with Daryl Davis, you know, the guy who went and deradicalized a bunch of KKK guys, and a few behavioral scientists, just looking into how engaging in conversation, especially in social media, is actively deradicalizing people, so banning people off, like, Twitter and places like that is doing...
Yeah, it doesn't work.
We already knew this, but it's doing far more harm by pushing them into echo chambers on the internet.
It doesn't work to deradicalize them.
Does it work to radicalize them because that's actually your true purpose?
Well, I mean...
Depends on what you think Twitter's up to.
Yeah, there you go.
That depends on what you think the driving force of all of this is.
But yeah, interesting interview.
Had a good time chatting with him.
Check it out.
And also, if we go to the next one, we have a new article here from Rory.
The British eye for a double standard.
No, no.
The British.
British, of course.
Yeah.
So go and check that one out, too.
I also wanted to mention that the book club, because we're both here, The Culture Revolution by Frank Dicotta, that's done now.
We both finished it.
We're going to be doing the filming sometime next week, and then it'll be up whenever as well.
It's a wild ride.
But I know some people like to read along, so...
That's going to be fun.
For now.
Kill everyone.
Yes, I kill myself.
For now.
Also, we're going to try and do that live, so do come and join us for that one.
We're going to try a live book club, because, meh, see if it works.
I think it'll be fun.
Also, there's some cracking tunes.
There are some absolute bangers in there.
Anyway, so let's get into Disney's gay agenda.
As we alluded, that is not our words, those are the actual words of their staff members.
Anybody who was watching yesterday will be aware that I looked into some of the developments in Hollywood, the fact that they've got a lot of This is kind of a continuation of that.
One of the things that I mentioned yesterday was Chris Rufo.
By the way, props to you, Chris.
You've been doing some great work unearthing a lot of this stuff.
Salutes in the chat.
Yep.
He put a scoop out that Disney corporate president Carrie Burke said that she was the mother of one transgender child and one pansexual child and felt the need to speak for them, which is very obvious.
Is it?
Well, I doubt they're speaking for themselves, are they?
You're transgender now, and now you're pansexual.
Right.
Oh, thanks, Mum.
It's very common that, you know, you have one child that's something interesting, and then all the rest all of a sudden becomes something interesting as well.
Yes, and it's very interesting that this all happens within the Hollywood sphere, where you can then go to lots of big galas and events where you can show them off to all of your friends, like a fashion accessory of some form.
Because that's what this basically is.
And she was talking about how she wants many, many LGBTQIA, forgot the plus, but characters in our stories and wants a minimum of 50% characters to be alphabet or racial minority.
They're literally just taking all of the letters.
It will get to the full alphabet soon enough.
So yeah, I do just need to say alphabet.
The racial minority thing is either BAME or Yookma-Gamur as well.
Yookma-Gamur.
Do you know what I meant?
Yeah, no, it's, uh, what is it?
Global Majority Ethnic or something?
UK Minority Ethnic or Global Majority Heritage.
Oh my god.
So Yookma-Gamur.
So yeah, alphabet.
All alphabet.
Either way, John and I covered a little bit of this yesterday, but I had neglected to look that Chris Rufo had, in fact, found many more clips from the same what appears to be staff meeting or, like, collective gathering for Disney.
And there's quite a lot...
Struggle session.
Yeah.
Self-criticism session.
Well, I mean, they do self-criticise some of them.
They're like, oh, you know, I never really thought about this in the past.
That was so wrong of me.
I'm so much more progressive and open-minded now.
In the future, I would insert more alphabets into the movie.
I was far too worried about making a good story and great production value and not just inserting ethnic minorities or, you know...
Queer people or whatever in here.
But let's move along because I've got some clips that we can go through just to really show what's going on at Disney and the fact that this is a children's company trying to propagandize and brainwash your children.
So Disney production coordinator Alan March says his team is committed to exploring queer stories.
Let's take a look at the clip here. - So I put together like a tracker of our background characters to make sure that we have like the full breadth of expression.
And we got into a very similar conversation, Carrie, of like, oh, all of our gender nonconforming characters are in the background.
And so it's not just a numbers game of how many LGBTQ plus characters you have.
Except it absolutely is, because you have a tracker for them.
Yeah.
It's not about the numbers, which is why I keep track of the numbers.
But also, I love the idea that he says, well, we've got to have it accurately, you know, reflecting modern-day realities.
I'm just waiting for the one Disney character, who's a black Hebrew Israelite, screaming, that's right!
Got a good point.
I mean, they're based in New York, that's right!
Yeah, I mean, also, you might have to find out, I don't know, the occasional clan member in a Disney movie from now on, because we've got to reflect reality, folks.
Yep, that's what we're here for.
I guess we're going to go back to Gone with the Wind and say, you know what?
Maybe we need to re-evaluate this again.
You know, the six dwarves or whatever, just one of them is a literal Nazi, because representation.
Yeah, I mean, that's what follows here.
We need to be believed on how many Nazis there are out there, so, you know.
Sleepy's just like, I love my bed.
Sorry.
as well as brainwashing and propagandising, just as a fan of film and the art form in general this is awful to me because it's just actively pushing people out of the industry and out of creative endeavours, at least in the mainstream.
I mean, I wouldn't even want to write a book in this atmosphere because then if Disney buys the rights to make a film about it that is going to destroy everything about my book.
I mean, it's like, you see recently George R.R. Martin, who did Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones, did a big release about how he's, you know, he's not really actually finished with the book and everyone just knows that he's not really going to finish it before he dies.
But I think there's possibly, other than him just being fat and lazy, more reasons for it, although that's a big reason, It's possibly because he's just worried about being called out, because his work is definitely not PC in any real way.
And he's already been called racist recently for accidentally mispronouncing an Asian fan's name on stage, because this is racism now.
So, I can understand how, if you're in the creative industries, you'd be like, screw this, I'm just gonna take my mountain of money and retire.
I'm imagining him on stage going, what, something wrong?
I'm leaving.
It would have been far more based if he had done that, to be honest.
Also, I just want to call out as well, what does that say under the Walt Disney Company?
Reimagine tomorrow.
Reimagine tomorrow.
These guys want to put themselves at the forefront, at the vanguard of a soft cultural revolution.
And they just make it very, very clear.
Let's take a look at what else this Alan Marsh has to say.
The more centered a story is on a character, the more nuanced you get to get into their story.
And especially with trans characters, you can't see if someone is trans.
There's not one way to look trans.
And so kind of the only way to have these canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to give them stories where they can be their whole selves.
These guys want to reflect reality, and they don't seem to live in reality, because there is a way to see if somebody is trans.
No, there's not.
It's very odd.
No, there's not.
There's absolutely none.
I don't know how we're going to know how they're represented if we don't know what they look like.
Why do they need surgery?
There's just no way.
There's no way to tell.
I put on a dress and say I'm a woman, there's no way you can tell anymore.
Why do you put on a dress, though?
If there's no way to tell, you'd be just as good without the trust.
John's got a good point.
I mean, what is a woman?
Anyway, so, I mean, I'm not a biologist.
The Disney biologist, I'm sure, will be able to find out.
I'm sure Disney has a dedicated scientific team.
Which cartoon is this?
Transgender.
But it can't be known, because all you can do is look, and you can't tell by looking.
But yeah, there's also...
It's ridiculous, but there's the also thing there, which is that the only way to represent these characters accurately is to write them into stories where they can fully be themselves.
So, what, just make them the absolute stereotype of everything you're trying to represent on the one hand, or just have gay sex love stories in children cartoons on the other hand?
Because that's what this is going to come down to.
We don't want to just relegate them to being a stereotype, which is why we just need to represent them as a stereotype.
The only thing in their character is that they are gay.
That's how I know the story is going to be written.
It's not going to be, you know, here's so-and-so, the character who is also gay, blah blah blah.
It's going to be, did you know he's gay?
Every five minutes.
Just to take you out of the entire story.
Just so they can remind you, Walt Disney is here.
They're here to change your mind.
There is more.
There are more staff members from Disney, including this diversity and inclusion manager, Vivian Ware, who is saying that the...
Mutual diversity hire.
Yep.
Who is saying that the company is dropping...
All mentions of gendered pronouns or gendered phrases like ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
This is something that happened a few months ago at the Disney theme parks where they've started to say welcome to all dreamers instead of hello boys and girls.
You know, the normal thing.
Let's hear what she has to say.
The human thing.
Last summer we removed all of the gendered greetings and relationship to our life skills so we no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
We've provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that.
So now they know it's hello everyone or hello friends.
We are in the process of changing over those recorded messages.
And so many of you are probably familiar when we brought the fireworks back to the Magic Kingdom.
We no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
We say dreamers of all ages.
And so I love the fact that it's opened up the creativity, the opportunity for our cast members to look at that.
Even more so than a usual corporate entity, this sounds so unpersonal and dehumanising.
I mean, there's a reason the Soviets started using Comrade for everything, instead of brother or sister like the Islamists do.
And when you've got a big company like Disney that looks like and acts like a big soulless corporate machine, they're now addressing you as a big soulless corporate machine.
Imagine going to Disneyland.
Hello, customer.
Yes.
Mickey Mouse.
Hello, friend.
Hello, everyone.
Instead of, you know, something just like friendly and personal.
Like, hello, boys and girls.
At least that's, I don't know, it's got a bit more energy to it to me.
You know what's amazing?
She got paid to do that.
That was her day's work.
She came up with that policy.
Oh, she's just leaning back like, I've been struggling all day.
What do we need to do?
Crack open the wine.
That was good work, lads.
Hard day's work.
Done.
Let's see some more clips from old Vivian here.
We don't want to just assume because someone might be in our interpretation maybe presenting as female that they may not want to be called princess.
So let's think differently about how do we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone.
Because it's much more magical for your little girl being taken to Disneyland to be referred to as a hello friend rather than being treated like a princess.
Little girls don't want to be treated like princesses.
Did she honestly say someone presenting as female might not want to be called princess?
Yes.
What, do they want to be called Prince?
I mean, why are you presenting as female?
Hello, King!
Why am I asking for this to logically make sense?
But, like, you know, the bare minimum there.
Like, if you want to be a female, surely you wish to be called Princess?
Otherwise, why are you bothering to make the effort?
I don't know, man.
Chris Rufo as well bringing up a great point that Disney executives are falsely accusing Ron DeSantis of don't say gay while they're requiring theme park employees to eliminate four words, ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls.
Probably men and women as well, so we can add another two on there.
So who's really eliminating the language?
I love the chat that they're just like, don't call me a friend, buddy.
I'm not your princess gay.
I'm not your king, just her.
And there's...
As always, there is more stuff with this.
So, once again, Chris Ruffo's done a fantastic job getting hold of all this.
He got video from Disney's all-hands meeting about Florida parental rights bill.
Executive producer Latoya Revenu says...
Sorry, what?
Ravenu.
No, no, no.
Revenu.
Why not?
Yeah, that's being as corporate as possible.
Miss Revenu here has got an idea.
Along with her good friend Judge Bourgeois...
Who is a real person?
Just a bottom line.
And there's CEO Captain Prophets.
The Walt Disney Company, they've really lost any sense of pretense.
They really have.
Sorry.
So she's got her gay agenda which she admits to just outright.
Let's just play the clip, John.
Like, I'd heard things like, oh, you know, they won't let you show this at a Disney show.
And I'm like, okay.
So I was a little, like, sus when I started.
But then my experience was bafflingly the opposite of what I had heard.
On my little pocket of, like, you know, Proud Family, Disney TVA, the showrunners were super welcoming, Meredith Roberts, and, like, our leadership over there has been so...
Welcoming to, like, my, like, not at all secret gay agenda.
And so, like, I feel like I felt like it was, I mean, like, maybe it was that way in the past, but I guess, like, something must have happened in the last, like, like, they were turning it around, they're going hard.
And then all that, like, momentum that I felt like that I don't have to be afraid to, like, let's have these two characters kiss.
Let's, in the background, like, I was just wherever I could just basically adding queerness to, like, if you see anything queer in the show, I'm proud of them.
But, like, I just was like, no one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.
Yes, no one was trying to stop her.
Out the horse's mouth...
That's the confession of the year, isn't it?
Yeah.
If not a century.
I've got a not-so-secret gay agenda, and no one is trying to stop me.
But that's the thing, she said there were stories of back in the day, some people would actually care about the art, and focus on the arts, and then if their characters were gay, that was secondary, that was part of the art, right?
Yeah.
But no, then she came along and she experienced in her time, because something had changed in the last couple of years, wonder what that couple of years is, the social justice movement coming to the forefront, in which now she was able to just add queerness wherever for no reason, had nothing to do with story, had nothing to do with an argument about morals or anything of the sort.
No, it was just throwing queerness.
And this just needs to be repeated as well, because I feel like it always needs to be repeated with Disney.
This is a company making products aimed at children.
Why do children's products need a gay agenda being pushed in them constantly?
Not at all secret gay agenda.
Yes, very obvious where we're adding queerness wherever we can.
It's amazing how the 90s, 2000s religious republicans and all their boomers...
They were right!
They've all come true!
They were right!
I can't believe it!
Anyway, you've pointed out that Carl was pointing out something great, which is that this does not exist in a vacuum.
This does have consequences, not just on, you know, people's beliefs, but also just their perception of reality.
This is remarkable.
Americans, when poll, believe that nearly half their country is black and 20% of people is transgender.
Just take a look at this YouGov poll, if you scroll along to it, John.
Look at how disproportionate all of that is.
Most Americans think that 20% of people have a household income of $1 million.
They think that 21% of Americans are transgender when it's 1%.
This is what distorting reality does.
27% Muslim.
And we have it over here as well.
We've got loads of braid washing going on over here and lots of agendas being pushed.
Some more of Callum's tweets if we move along.
Yeah, we've got the diversity budget being put to propaganda.
If you want to talk about LGBT propaganda, or not so secret at all, Gage, I mean, literally spending 25 grand on some paint.
Oh, but we're Turf Island, though.
Don't you understand?
We're Turf Island.
It doesn't matter that the government is literally pushing this in everyone's face constantly.
Pissing money on the wall.
We've got a few women who are like, actually, women exist.
Turf Island!
Evil!
Yeah.
Yep.
Move along again.
There's this Facebook page that I've been made aware of.
This is from 2019, so this is actually a while ago as well, where there was a Facebook post where parents were just basically trading cards saying, how many trans kids do you have?
I've got two.
Ooh, I've actually got one trans, one non-binary, and one cis.
That's a shiny.
I was going to...
I was going to say, oh, sis, those are pretty undervalued in these communities.
They're not worth very much.
Yeah, those are common cards, whereas the non-binary, that's pretty impressive.
Yeah, look, I tell people I collected the whole set.
This is trading cards.
These are fashion accessories for some demented parents who should not have children, if I'm completely honest.
I mean, this all goes back to the individual who was saying that all of her kids turned out queer, which is astounding.
But I remember John showed us, or at least told us about a Facebook group once he was in, where he was just having a look at some of these deluded Facebook groups.
And one of them was someone saying that their kids weren't trans, so they started putting, what was it, John, you have to remind me, I think it was like the hormones in their cereals of their kids.
To try and mess with them?
I mean, like, actually creepy people.
The response in the comments- They were drugging their kids with hormones.
Yeah, and the response in the comments from real people on their Facebook accounts were like, ooh, that's a good idea.
Well, I bet there were a few Yas Queen.
Yeah, essentially.
Yeah, and this isn't just political.
This is a pincer attack from every direction because we've got it in the schools as well over here.
It's not just Florida.
Who should be coming up with laws to prevent this stuff?
It's us as well.
If we move along, there's this Jigsaw, I don't know what Jigsaw stands for, who seem to be creating guidelines for relationship education.
Relationship education in the UK is statutory.
It's compulsory for British primary schools from September 2020, so we've had over a year and a half of this almost at this point.
That's kindergarten.
Yep, primary schools, yep, kindergarten for all you Americans.
Relationship education can include LGBT relationships, but schools need to consider four important aspects of the guidance.
Schools should ensure that the needs of all students are appropriately met, all pupils understand the importance of equality and respect.
Students must ensure they comply with relevant provisions of the Equality Act 2010 under which sexual orientation and gender reassignment are amongst the protected characteristics.
3.
We expect all pupils to have been taught LGBT content in a timely point as part of this area of the curriculum.
4.
At the point at which schools consider it appropriate to teach their children, their students, about LGBT, they should ensure that this content is fully integrated into their programs of study for this area, rather than delivered as a standalone unit or lesson.
So this is for all primary school children in the UK.
This is going to go just as well as it has in America.
Yes, absolutely.
I don't want school, state-funded school teachers teaching my kids how relationships work.
Call me old-fashioned, I don't think that's an appropriate area for teachers to really broach.
Well, also, we got along without it for quite some time.
Yeah.
I'll tell you, in year 6, when I was like 11 or 12, to put it in context for Americans, I had one sex education lesson in primary school, and it was just to basically tell me that puberty is a thing that's probably about to happen, don't worry if strange things start to happen, and everyone was very embarrassed and very awkward, and they had the boys learn in one room, and the girls learn in the other room, because they knew if we did it all together, everyone was going to laugh at one another and be evil, because children are evil.
I think that needs to be reiterated, because you're just giving more kids more opportunities to other one another and make fun of them.
But the most important thing with this, as with everything the state does, parents do not have the right to withdraw their children from relationship education.
Thanks.
Yas, Queen.
Thanks, Conservatives.
Yas, Queen.
And this...
But yeah, I think any appropriate boundaries found in schools have been completely destroyed at this point.
If I... When I was a kid, if I had asked my teacher, why is it that little Timmy has two dads, do you know what the teacher would have said that was appropriate?
You should probably ask your parents about that.
And they would have gone no further.
Whereas now they would have broken out the pride flag, broken out the hormones, and just gone to work.
Yeah, and now time to pass the baton over to Callum.
Well, speaking of which, there has also been a backlash against the Disney stuff here, mostly in a form of boycott.
But if we go forward, I just wanted to mention some other stuff in relation to this, which is that these NPCs, the people who do this in schools, are real.
And as you can see, found some here.
Let's move forward, though, because we're going to talk about Disney the musical coming out.
Oh god, not this person again.
You can look forward to the new set.
I mean, once all this goes through and they have to redo...
They've got a not-so-secret gay agenda.
They're adding queerness everywhere.
It's a children's company.
They are coming for our children.
They're saying it all out loud.
I mean, there are some videos on YouTube of this Japanese girls' band.
Like, the high school band that performs just really well at these songs.
So then the Disney Corporation invited them all out to Disneyland to just perform and just walk around for a day and get paid.
So there was one thing...
I wouldn't put it past them to invite these chaps and be like, hey, you know that hit banger you guys did while coming for your children?
Didn't, like, at least...
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't, like, at least 30% of the people in this group turn out to be groomers?
A number of them had served sentences.
Yes!
What a surprise!
I'm sure they'll fit right in with Disney employees.
Let's go forward, so if we go to the next one, that's only so, I'm not having a popular one.
But you have Chris Rufo here making the point that, well, a lot of this is now, of course, turned into a boycott of Disney, and him saying, we are waging a moral war against Disney, we are directly targeting their public reputation, we are turning half of their customers against them.
Wait for that.
To be twisted by certain members of the mainstream press, but this is absolutely what we should be doing.
It's fine.
Like, Chris Ruffo just plays it straight, which is, yes, I'm against corporations doing evil things.
If the corporation becomes evil, yeah, we're going to turn against you.
While also trying to mess with politics.
Corporations getting involved in politics.
Great.
Yeah, so if we go forward, we see Ben Shapiro also making a good point here, which is Disney's business plan is now radical activists, are better than parents.
Let's see how well that works for them.
Good luck, chaps.
I'm sure Mrs.
Revenue and Bob Paycheck will be doing very well with that strategy.
If we move forward to go to the next one, of course, we also have the fact that Boycott Disney was trending worldwide.
and if we go to the next one we have fox news taking up the story as well and this is all kind of you know let's say beautiful for the right who are very happy about such things but i also wanted to point out that actually it couldn't come at a better time for left-right unity because the left also hate disney right now yeah they do actually because he didn't he didn't try and meddle in politics quickly enough Yeah, so you can see Salon here talking about the fact that a bunch of the left are also boycotting Disney on the basis that they didn't stand firmly against the anti-groomer bill enough.
So the left are also boycotting them, and then the right are, and then you have all this drop.
Which, oh boy, bad time to be at Disney.
And furthermore, Disney to lender est.
Anyway, let's move forward to the lynching.
It's a segway to what I'd say.
What framing?
Good God.
Anyway.
Lynching has finally become a crime in the United States.
I know we've all been waiting, particularly our brothers, the African Americans of the United States, who have been living in fear up until this day.
I've been living in fear for them.
I've thought to myself, murder?
I mean, that's a no-go, but lynching?
That's completely legal.
At any point, you could have been...
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
As you can see here, we have a representative of the Biden administration, the Penguins of Madagascar.
What?
Wait, what's this?
This is just a reference to me, but you have Mrs.
Obama there being told, don't worry, Mrs.
Obama, we've done it, we've stopped racism.
And we can see that in real time with President Biden, giving exactly, basically, that speech.
If we move forward, we have...
And he shored up the African-American community.
All of them who voted him confirmed black.
Yeah, so here you are.
Here's the penguin himself saying, I've just signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act into law, making lynching a federal crime, sorry, a federal hate crime for the first time in American history.
Don't worry, Mrs.
Obama.
We've stopped racism.
We've signed the Anti-Lynching Act.
And if we move forward, we can see some of the- They might as well have just signed in the Racism Bad Act.
Essentially.
So we can see a spicy joke in response to this from Sir Dankilove here saying, I didn't know lynching was legal.
Can't believe I missed my chance.
Of course, him being a comedian.
Of course, this is a joke.
There's also this.
You can see the point below.
He's like, shame none of you can lynch me for this tweet now that it's a crime.
He's got you there.
He beat the system.
If we go to the next one, a lot of people were whining about Dankula in here.
I love this account.
People whining about Dankula.
You've got to follow all of the Twitter accounts.
There are people whining about Stonetoss, people whining about Dank, Andy Ngo.
Yeah, so a lot of people saying, oh man, he made a joke I don't like.
Yeah, and he'll do it again.
Wait, wait, wait.
They've not just done that.
They've gone, man, he made a joke I don't like.
Time to be racist.
I hate white people.
Yeah, but if we move to the actual meat of this conversation, because there is a political conversation here, which is, what the hell are you talking about?
Like, lynching surely has always been illegal.
Like, killing someone is a crime.
So, what's...
Murder's bad.
So, what is this?
So, we have...
I went to a left-wing source to get their side of the argument, Vox here, saying what an anti-lynching law means in 2022.
Apparently, murder is still illegal, so...
Well, they didn't repeal the murder law and replace it with the anti-lynching?
No, you're allowed to murder now, just not lynch.
So, on Tuesday, President Joe Biden signed into law a bill that classifies lynching as a federal hate crime, punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
So, the change here is that...
It's all still illegal, but if you lynch someone on the basis of race, it's a hate crime, and therefore you'll have a harsher sentence.
That's what's changed.
That's the factor there.
The Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act, named after the 14-year-old boy who was kidnapped, brutally beaten, and shot by a mob of white men in Mississippi in 1955, 70-odd years ago, before they threw him into a river, allows an act to be prosecuted as a lynching when a person conspires to commit a hate crime that results in death, seriously body harm, or serious harms.
The bill's passage is long overdue, but its arrival is still an important symbolic power and will give federal prosecutors another tool to prosecute some of the country's most brutal hate crimes.
In other words, the act builds on the severity of federal hate crime laws that already exist.
I mean, they've highlighted how completely transparent this whole thing is by just pointing out it's important symbolic power.
This doesn't actually really do anything because murder already illegal, but it sends out a signal, it sends out a message to everybody that Biden cares about race issues.
It does also change the law to some extent, because you still have the fact that this is now a law which is not concerned with the individual justice of the victim and the perpetrators who should be punished justly, No, it is instead discerned with the feelings of the community who are symbolically hurt by hate crime because it depends on the whole community, not just the individual.
This is the logic of why hate crimes exist.
But I thought murder bad because you're killing the individual.
No, no, murder bad because you're harming the community's feelings.
Ah.
And this isn't actually...
I mean, you can see the argument that, you know, you've brought a terror upon the community by engaging in a racist murder and therefore, I don't know, all Asian people in the area or all black people or all white people feel a bit more scared.
That's not...
But if anybody is murdered in any community, even if they're not being lynched, surely that would make the community a bit more scared in the first place.
Sure, but it also doesn't really make much sense, because the person who's the biggest victim here is the victim.
Not the random people who share the skin tone in the community.
Why do we have to talk about things like this nowadays?
I swear to god!
You would have thought.
And that's the main meat of me for here in this argument, the political aspect of hate crimes as a subject.
And also we can point to the reality, which is that we've tried this all in Britain.
We've really taken these processes to their end logical point.
And I can demonstrate to you what happened.
There's also the obvious point that if we had this law back when Emmett Till was being tried, it wouldn't have changed anything.
Because it was a white jury who let the perpetrators off because they were racist.
So they weren't going to let them off for murder and then try them for lynching and that wasn't going to happen.
Well, you know, the murder was fine, but the lynching, that's where I draw the line.
Doesn't make any sense there either.
But also, the logic of hate crimes here is that it doesn't change the fact that the murder has taken place, obviously, but it makes the racist murder more serious.
Of course, more serious than what?
Well, also, it makes it more serious than sexist murders.
Or transphobic murders.
Or anti-goth murders.
Which is a genuine thing.
Or anti-furry murders.
These things are not taken all seriously as a racist murder.
And you might think, well, come on, that's a bit mad.
Like, we have protected characteristics, or these special ones about, you know, being a certain race, or being a certain sex, and therefore they preserve, or at least deserve, to have a higher status in the murder category.
Maybe you think this.
Right, run that logic to its conclusion, because we did in Britain, and we can demonstrate this.
This is a document which Carl brought up from the Running Me Trust, which is what set out the definition of racism in Britain under Tony Blair and became the substance by which British law is applied in this case.
And, well, what do they have to say?
Well, racism is a subtle and complex phenomenon.
It may be based on colour and physical features, or on culture, nationality, and way of life.
Okay.
This is how we ran the hate crime legislation, because our definition of racism started to include culture, way of life.
And this is where you get nice, very easy openings for all of the systemic racism.
Because, well, you know, you're expecting me to integrate into your culture, that systemic racism.
Well, no, this is what lynches open that now, okay, all policing is political, because we're going to do it on political lines whenever a hate incident or crime is involved.
You may remember Islamophobia, or as-in-the-Muslim bigotry, if you're not an insane person who wants to actually accurately represent these things.
If we go to the next one, we can see Islamophobia here being debated, and the police chiefs saying that, no, this doesn't work, because, again, remember, racism can be based on a culture.
You can be racist against a culture, or a way of life, so if Islam is, I don't know, homophobic, and you're upset by that, you're an Islamophobe.
Or if, potentially, say, just as a hypothetical, that, say, Islamic men target young white girls, for instance.
That's their way of life, their culture.
And if you disagree with this, you are racist.
This may sound mad to Americans, I know, but this is actually what happened in Britain and we can demonstrate it.
So here you have the police literally saying that when this first came through for the definition of Islamophobia, this was mad.
And what do they have to say?
Well, the definition of Islamophobia that was given to them, Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.
Rooted in what race...
Exactly.
Rooted in what?
Racism.
Type of racism against what race again?
Muslims aren't for race.
I've met white Muslims.
Yeah.
Also perceived Muslims.
So is insulting a white Muslim the same as insulting an Arab Muslim?
Or is that classified differently?
I think that's all the same, but that's all of the Islamophobic hate crime, which has nothing to do with white people.
Or at least that's how it's going to be recorded in the statistics and used politically.
Okay.
So the police publicly warned that this definition risked undermining the fight against terrorism and hampering free speech.
That's their quote.
I don't think I can say much more about that without the bobbies coming around.
So we'll move on.
So we'll go to the response to this, which was just to call the police stupid.
As you can see from this article here, police have misunderstood the definition.
No, they hadn't.
They had taken the logic of hate crimes with the instruction of the government to its logical conclusions, and it ended up mad.
The Times says the definition could, in effect, make it racist to criticize Islam, Yes, the oppressive equality law that defines racism as on the basis of race.
Yes.
Insane.
Backwards times.
I mean, they are completely accurate in what they're saying there.
Yeah, the police obviously pointing out that if you run a hate crime logic to its conclusion, you end up with insanities like this.
So, of course, the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats already adopted the definition, and the Tories were under pressure to follow suit, this article says.
And the cons just refused to accept an argument that did not follow logic.
I mean, clap for them.
Freaking minimum.
Conservatives found a portion of their backbone for once.
Yeah, if we move forward to the next article, you can see that, in which they just refused to adopt it.
And if we move forward again, you can see a left-wing article in which leftists are still whining about this to this day.
As you can see, Tories pause work on their own definition of Islamophobia two years after pledging to come up with one.
Because you can't.
It's a stupid word.
You can't be phobic of a religion.
You're allowed to be rationally fearful of a religion, especially one that isn't accepting of homosexuals, for example.
That would be a pretty rational thing for a homosexual man to be fearful of.
I'm pretty sure that was what people like Hitchens and the like were complaining about back in the day.
Were they Christianophobic?
Yeah, so...
For criticizing Christianity?
This is why I think Majid Nawaz is correct.
If you want to use this term, it should be anti-Muslim bigotry, not Islamophobic.
It doesn't mean anything.
We move to the next one.
We can also see the fact that hate crimes also do apply to punks, emos, and goths.
Yes, this is the Sophie Lancaster case, which being from the metal community is something that is very important within my little particular subculture, especially given that the guy who did it, one of the two guys, is being released from prison.
Yeah, but he attacked them for the way they looked, and therefore it was recorded as a hate crime, and you have to keep running this along its lines, because any subgroup, any subculture...
can have a hate crime put against it.
And that's why I'm so weirded out, and why I think the Americans should not follow any of this, because you end up saying that furries are a protected characteristic, and therefore any crime against furries is a special crime.
And so why don't we just make the law, because if every group, down to the individual, is a subculture, then why not just have the law on murder be the law on murder, and we don't That's the interesting thing about Sophie Lancaster's case.
The guys who did it specifically said they targeted her and her boyfriend because they were a couple of moshers, because the guys who did it were a gang of, like, chavs.
They saw goths mosher types and thought, let's just kick the ass out of them.
But they still murdered one of them.
It's still assault.
Do you need to add an extra layer?
Sure, sure.
That's not my point.
special groups because of my feels that need to be protected okay fine you take that you have it for race because that makes sense right because of the history of the united states okay but then you have to expand that to sex okay then you have to expand that all the way to goths punks and emos and then you have to expand it to furries your particular tastes i mean you are a subculture of one we could argue at which point well then all of this is a complete waste of time isn't it it's just a way of politics inserting itself and the intersectionals will insist it only goes one way obviously as well so you may be saying well okay
maybe i'm not taking this murder 80 years ago very seriously well Well, Biden didn't.
If we go to the next one, we can actually see him talking about this, in which he said that Emmett Till was born nearly 40 years ago.
He was born in 1941.
Wait, does Biden think it's the 80s still?
No, I don't really need to take this seriously if the man proposing the law himself can't even take the goddamn case seriously.
If we move to the next one, we can also see the Vox article in which they explain more of this, saying, The difference is in the historic and present-day effect of lynchings.
The idea that the person who was killed is not only the victim.
Is not the only victim.
Sorry, not the only victim.
And lynchings are typically motivated by the victim's race, religion, sexual orientation, or other identifier.
Yes, Vox, that can go all the way down to goths, and further.
Have you actually thought about that for a minute?
People can also kill each other, not based on any, like, group characteristic, but on individual characteristics like I don't like you personally as well.
Well, that's a hate against his subculture of him.
Yes.
Literally, that's where this logic leads.
Quote, lynching has typically sent a message to an entire community that you're not safe here or you could be next.
Lynching has typically been motivated by racial animus and harms an entire community, said some professor at Howard University, presumably a dunce.
Because, well, also, let's just play this in reverse for a minute, because if you're saying that, well, it harms the whole community, therefore we should make the crime worse.
Well, interesting, we actually have statistics in the UK for this as well.
If we move to the next one, we did the research on this, thanks to Dr.
Ella Hill who gave us this.
And the hate crimes in the UK, the biggest victim of hate crimes, as in by group, is white people.
Now what?
Big surprise there.
But your own ideology then falls down because you were attempting not to do such a thing and reveal such a reality.
Hmm.
It was actually 41% of all hate crimes were against white people, being the biggest group there.
Which you might expect, being the biggest majority group, but then when you actually broke it down as well, you also found Jews were the most likely to be victims of hate crimes as well.
I wonder who that's by.
Let's go to the next one, because of course we can also see the fact that this does not include the crime that cannot be named.
Those statistics.
Hypothetically, of course.
The victims of these criminals were not officially targeted for being white.
But if you see their DMs, their text messages, their words about it...
Yeah, we'll move on from that because we can't mention that crime, can we?
And we'll go to the next one in which we can also argue, well, is purposely oppressing white children through the government also a crime, a special crime.
We'll have a conversation about that someday as well.
But then let's go back to the Vox articles.
They have something more to say.
They give us an example in which this law might be useful.
Okay, alright, alright, let's hear it.
The three men convicted in 2021 of murdering Ahmed Arbery.
Travis and Gregory McMichael and William Rody Bryan could have been charged with lynching if the law was in effect.
This doesn't make any sense.
They didn't lynch him, though.
No, but you could argue they did.
You could argue that, fine.
I don't know the details of the case, I didn't get to cover it as well.
But let's just take all of it as true, right?
Let's take a complete narrative and say it's all true, right?
Who cares?
Like, two of them got life imprisonment without parole.
The other one got life imprisonment with parole in 30 years.
Wow, it really would have made all the difference.
Yeah, like, we already have justice here.
If we charged them purely with lynching, they could have actually had lower sentences.
Probably, but they would charge it with more.
Obviously.
But the thing is, we already have justice.
Like, the individuals carried out this crime, they got the terms that they got.
Okay, then you could say everything's right, you've got justice.
But you don't have racial justice.
That's what this is about.
This is why hate crime logic comes into play.
And if we move to the next one, we can also see the fact that also the complaint about these people going to jail for so long, I mean, the majority of people in prisons in the United States are in for violent offences as well.
But let's go to the next link in which we can see Faircop talking about this, because what happens when this happens to a white person and the lynching law gets an act?
Did these black guys lynched a white guy?
Well, we have this in the UK, with the crime that shall not be named, or many another crime, in which, well, Dr Hill is still actually arguing with the Welsh police to accept that whites can be victims of hate crimes to this day, and they refuse to because they're ideologically motivated.
As soon as you introduce hate crimes into policing, the police force becomes an instrument of ideological will.
Ideological will of the intersectionals.
And this is an example here, in which there was some mob attacking some TERFs.
Which side do you think Manchester police are on?
I wonder.
Yeah.
I mean, it's...
Well, remember, it's offensive to be offensive.
Yeah.
And this is why the Americans should not follow the law, or at least the roads the British have let down, on this godforsaken path of racial justice or group justice.
I mean, in this case, the group being trans, of course, in which we must stand with the trans community, make it a hate crime against trans people.
Okay, well then, you have to take it further.
And then which other groups are you going to take it to?
Is being a TERF, is that a protected group?
If you attack someone because they're a TERF, is that a hate crime?
No, the clear thing that's come out of all of that is the fact that it seems that in protecting trans we can no longer protect women.
We just have to throw them out of the side as a potential protected characteristic.
Sure, but the politicised nature of it.
So, yeah, okay, we accept that trans activists are a protected category that have greater sentences against anyone.
Trans activists don't even need to be trans.
But the TERFs, do you really think the Manchester Police...
I mean, come on, look at the logo.
Well, I know.
Are going to give a toss.
Of course they're not.
No.
This idea of racial justice or group justice endlessly leads down this political path.
And this is why individual justice is antithetical to hate crimes and hate crime logic.
Because you end up saying that the harm was done to X group by having the same skin time, which doesn't make any sense.
They're not victims of the crime.
The victim is the victim of the crime, you would have thought.
Anyway, moving on, I thought I'd also just point out that this is still paralyzing Britain as well to this day.
Again, just another reason not to go down this path if you're not convinced.
I mean, as you can see here, this is 2014, the fear of being seen as racist, an article in BBC News, far-right outlet, pointing out that the British police, again, did not act in regards to the crime that shall not be named because of fear of being called racist.
All instigated by this logic being inserted into our police force.
We go forward to 2017.
Same situation.
Still going on.
Go to the next one, we have 2020.
Still going on.
Same thing.
We ignored sex abuse of children.
Why?
Fear of being called racist.
Next link, 2022.
Still.
Decade upon decade.
Never gonna end.
Why?
Because we accepted this logic into our policing system and it poisoned it to the core.
No one should allow this to happen to the United States.
After that, white pill.
Well, hopefully this next segment should be some actual fun.
Bear with me for a moment.
I just need to drown my sorrows.
I wish this was vodka.
I was about to say, I'm sure that's water.
Oh boy.
But seriously, I really hate it.
I really, really hate it.
No, I do as well.
I think that our country is, well, I was going to say is going down, but has gone down a very dark path, and this is just the end result of the whole thing.
I mean, I do often talk about some of the problems in the United States, and some people criticize me for it, saying, you know, there's a lot of problems in your country.
We're very, very aware of all that.
Yes, we are.
Anyway, on to something that should be exciting for a small portion of our viewers, should I say?
It's going to be short jokes the whole way through.
No, I'm not going to do it again.
I did that with Peter Dinklage.
I'm out of short jokes.
That would be a low blow.
Come on.
But it's officially Short King Spring, according to TikTok.
Callum, hold your excitement, please.
What does this mean?
I honestly don't really know very well, but as with everything, there's an air of excitement around it.
And I thought I'd sort of gather a compilation of what I can only describe as cope articles, because they're all sort of, as well as the fact that our children are being propagandized too and brainwashed on the daily, we're also getting a new idea of what the vision of men in the future are going to look like, given that those that don't transition are still going to have to, you know, Occupy some position in society, right?
2% of men that don't transition.
Exactly, man.
So there's only one choice.
You've heard of the new Soviet man.
Well, look at the new woke man.
And this, I think, is part of it.
So this is a New York Post article sort of describing the phenomenon.
But then I'll take us to the leftist approach and discussion on this.
Okay, so after years of getting the short end of the stick, see what you did there...
TikTok has declared that the little guys deserve the royal treatment.
Short Kings is the new wave.
Sorry to y'all giraffes.
I feel very called out.
One fella celebrated on TikTok with a dance.
Everything needs to be done with a dance on TikTok.
If you don't do it with a dance, I don't know if you're serious about it.
But finally we're getting liberation for the little guy.
The TikTok tag Short King has more than 329 million views with some users calling the increase in interest Short King Spring.
The trend is perhaps inspired by Tom Holland and Zendaya, as Id pointed out, whose height difference, he's 5'8", and she's 5'11".
How daring.
Doesn't deter...
How can it work?
I know.
Doesn't deter their romance, but rather breaks the internet, because that's how you should, you know, judge your relationship, by how people on the internet are talking about it.
I played sports growing up, and I always wished I was taller.
More for sports than for dating, said one 24-year-old, adding that he's never faced rejection for his height.
Most of the girls I've dated, they don't really see height as an issue.
In fact, he's experienced the opposite.
Recently, he went on a date with a taller woman, who said she likes them 5'6 and shorter.
So this seems to be a reaction to the overwhelming majority of women you see on, like, dating sites.
This is tangential, of course, because I have never been on one of those because I've not needed it.
Who are like, oh, if you're under six foot, don't apply.
So this seems to be like a reaction to that.
These women being very reactionary.
There was a good reaction to that.
Which was?
If you're over 200 pounds, don't reply.
Yes, there was a great reaction to that.
I can't pick my height, but you can pick your weight.
That would be sexism, though, unless the woman you're saying it to is a TERF, in which case it's stunning and brave.
We need to get this wraparound going, you know, and you need to understand all the layers.
But the playing field hasn't always been historically even.
According to a 2014 study which said that short men have less chance of getting married, NYC is even more brutal out of the gate since men under 5'9 have a 1.2% chance of matching online.
So this just seems, generally speaking, to be a biological thing.
Generally, at least in terms of stated preferences, women state that they want taller men, and then when you actually meet them, it seems to probably be more down to personality.
Internet personality Serena Kerrigan, who doubles as somewhat of a dating expert, offering advice to her devout followers online, said: "Women's height preference is no different from how men critique women's bodies.
Women are constantly scrutinized for the way they look." I mean, so are men.
She said, it's the one place that they're able to take back that kind of power.
No, this doesn't work.
I know.
Because the thing is with the criticism of women's bodies is you can argue, oh, you can change this and that, and with men you can do the same, you know, you can go to the gym, blah, blah, blah.
But with height, it's like...
Like, you can't change it.
Unless you're going to wear some high heels.
Well, you could get like, I don't know, a plasty like in that South Park episode, just get some testicles and set it in your knees.
Make you a bit bigger.
I don't think they actually offer that surgery.
I won't name the surgery as well, that might get us in trouble.
But some guys, some guy said, equate being taller to being more masculine, which plays a role in picking out a potential partner.
But he doesn't think something as minuscule as height should matter.
See what he did there again.
That's a poor choice of words, to be honest.
This article was just having fun like you were there.
It is fun.
Synonyms for short.
It's fun to look down on people.
But yeah, basically men equate height with masculinity because of the signals that women give to them.
Let's be perfectly honest.
For the most part, at least, as I said, stated preferences.
Honestly, though, I think it's good that men are pushing themselves.
Your height shouldn't be a limiting factor in your dating prospects, and I think it's all about how you handle yourself and how you hold yourself and the confidence that you project out into the world, just like our good friend Pete has said repeatedly.
But let's see what the leftists, how they...
Present this, and frame this, and what they have to say about this.
And this is from Id, who I believe are a vice.
A recent study found that shorter men needed to earn more money to be deemed equally attractive to taller men.
For example, a man who is 5'6 needs to earn an additional $175,000 per year to be as desirable as a man who is 6 foot tall.
To be fair, that sucks.
That sounds awful if that is true, but I would need to look at the study.
But this bias, here's what they've got to say about it, this bias is clearly rooted in misogyny, ableism and racism, with Asian men often taking the brunt.
So, hang on, women are misogynist, ableist?
Yes, leftist logic, short men have a harder time getting women.
This is misogyny.
No, it's reality.
Do you often feel a victim of misogyny, Callan?
No, it's a reflection of...
So, we've gone through this before.
It's like, if you ask women to rate men, they think the average man is like an 8 out of 10 because women's Expectations of men, when given apps to find this, end up coming out ridiculous every time.
But it's just an aspect of reality.
Jordan Peterson's talked about this with the Prater distribution.
It's just like, a very small number of people do all the work, a very small number of people end up with all the wealth, a very small number of men end up with all the women.
It's just reality.
It's not some kind of misogynistic, ableistic, racist aspect of the world we live in.
See, your brain's not on leftism, though.
You need to view it through a leftist perspective.
For instance, Damien Bryant, a 23-year-old trans photographer based in Alabama, says he's often dreaded the question, how tall are you on dating apps, having better look on ones that don't ask for your height.
At 5'6", Damien often experiences height dysphoria.
What?
Height dysphoria.
I just desperately feel that I should be taller.
This is the South Park episode.
This really is the South Park.
I desperately feel the need to be a basketball player.
It's Kyle saying I want the N-plasty to play in the NBA. Let's just create more new pathologies, because everyone being mentally ill isn't bad enough already.
This is the woke new man.
The new man should be mentally ill.
Also, trans man on dating sites, how tall are you?
This is the question I'm most worried about.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Being a trans male comes with its own set of societal expectations.
But the expectations...
It comes with, again, expectations of reality.
How dare they?
It's awful.
Reality is oppressing me.
But the expectations of cis males and the heights that come with them are also packed right on top.
Almost like biological men on average are taller.
The biological man who wants to be known as a woman is being treated like a biological man and is dating us.
Yes.
Yes, you are.
Yeah.
I think that height is framed to be much more telling of someone's character than it should be.
When words like feminine, submissive, or soft are often attached to being short, it feels like us trans men have run into this wall of never fully being perceived as masculine.
Trans man worries that people might find him feminine because of his height.
Was it Elliot?
Not because...
No, no, no.
What is it?
Elliot Page.
Elliot Page.
The virgin.
The chad man.
Yes.
Trans man worried about masculinity for height, not for his vagina.
Nope.
Or neopenis.
I don't want to be too mean there.
Neopenis could be included here.
His female penis...
With height discrimination spread throughout society, even into the workplace, a survey of heights of Fortune 500 CEOs revealed that they were on average six foot tall, which is approximately 2.5 inches taller than the average American man.
It's clear posting about Short King Spring won't magically reverse centuries of height discrimination.
Height discrimination.
In social condition.
Callum, you're so oppressed!
I know.
You're so discriminated against.
With my reparations.
Mate, if I make any short jokes in your direction, that's a hate crime now.
Well, literally, yes.
I could get 30 years for that.
Time well spent.
You can repent for your crimes.
It's worth it.
Worth it.
Every day the second I get out of prison, I'll just call you short again.
What's up, Oompa Loompa?
And just turn around and go straight back in.
Send you back to the gulag and the hut will just be a bit shorter than every other building.
So you bang your head.
So I'll end up hunched.
No, you'll end up with walking around on your knees.
And then you know what it feels.
I mean, this is the leftist future they're demanding.
This really is.
So trans men worried about their height, not their vaginas.
But don't worry.
Don't worry, short kings out there.
Once again, height does not have to hold you back.
Let's look at a historical example.
Benito Mussolini, 5'6", or 5'7", depending on where you look.
So your height does not have to hold you back.
You can rule a whole country if you want.
You too could be the manlet of the Axis.
The most disappointing member.
The Hungarians get less schtick than the Italians do.
To be fair, we mentioned Dick Otter.
He's got the book Dictators and said about how Mussolini was able to get around his height by just standing up straight, puffing his chest out and holding his jaw and chin up.
At all times, yes, and doing this as well.
Whatever the hell Italians do.
So it's a lot about posture and confidence, which does count for a lot.
I'm not saying go out and become a fascist dictator.
I'm saying...
You could be.
I'm saying, your height doesn't have to hold you back.
But it works often the opposite way as well.
You don't know comic books, but I know comic books.
There's a Superman comic called...
There's all the man look fascist in the comic books, are there?
No, no, no.
It's a genuinely interesting example.
In All-Star Superman, which some of the audience might have heard of, which is Grant Morrison and Frank Whiteley, they really actually make you understand how people could believe that Clark Kent isn't Superman.
By just having every time he's Superman, he's not projecting himself as the massive, tall, six-foot-two hunk of meat.
He's got his glasses on, he's sniffling all the time, he hunches his back, arches everything over.
He's very clumsy, and that posture can trick you.
In a way.
The same way that it can trick you into be looking more confident.
Is this dating advice?
No, this isn't.
Like, if you're a short man who goes on a date, just stand up straight and...
Yeah, Peterson.
This is Peterson.
Stand up straight with his shoulders back.
That's what you need to do.
But, alongside...
You seem to be like Benito.
Alongside the leftist ideal of the trans manlet...
Spaghetti mantra.
Yes.
We also have articles from a while back.
Because this has been going on for a while.
For instance, Vice.
In defense of my small penis.
I can't believe this is a real article.
By Ant Smith.
Just for a brief moment, could you just click on his name for me, John?
Just so we can see the other articles that Ant Smith has written.
Oh wait, this is the only one.
He was like, this is my message to the world.
I need to project my small penis out there.
And then I'm done.
Presumably, this means that Ant sent in this article, and then that was it, that's all he's done, unless this is one of the other Vice writers.
Well, that small penis article from Vice was such a groundbreaker, but the rest of it's just not stood up.
What do you want to bet it's one of the Vice writers who's like, I can't have my real name on this.
Ant Smith.
We've got to figure out how it is, boys.
John Smith.
Oh, everybody knows it's a joke.
Ant.
Who else is a Smith that works at Vice?
That's my question.
That's good.
Okay.
But I assume, if it's not some vice-right...
Oh no, Shane Smith, no!
Oh no!
He doesn't work anymore.
But yeah, so let's just read a little bit of this.
So a study released this week, back in 2015, informs us that the average penis size worldwide is 5.2 inches long when erect.
This should help to reassure the large majority of men that the size of their penis is in the normal range.
I'm sure it does.
But that doesn't mean that these results are all good news.
My life does not change one bit waking up to find that today I'm only 1.2 inches below average as opposed to the whopping 1.8 inch discrepancy of yesterday.
So he self-reports as having a 4 inch penis.
Can you classify this article as self-harm?
What the hell is he doing?
I wonder if some women on dating sites, they like, look up, they just Google your name, and Smith...
Oh, God!
Well, at least, you know, he's upfront about it, I guess.
Yep.
From now on, when someone...
As much as he can be.
Yep.
When someone tells you that your average dick is small, it's abundantly clear that the problem is in their perception, not your equipment.
A penis can't be...
Again, leftism.
The problem isn't reality.
It's people's perceptions of reality.
A penis can't be measured by inches on a stick.
A penis is as small as a man's confidence portrays it to be.
Or else as small as the imagination of the partner he's with.
Now, I've heard of moral relativism.
I've heard of cultural relativism.
But I've not heard of genital relativism before.
A man's penis is only as big as his heart.
The woman's vagina is only tight as she...
Tight as her purse.
No, as tight as her lip side.
Oh, no.
Oh, God, Callum.
So, the only answer is to accept who you are.
No, don't do that.
That sounds nice.
It sounds fluffy, but you should always be trying to improve yourself.
But, once again, there's more articles like this.
What's he going to do?
Take pills?
Get the Swedish made penis enlarge a pump.
Signed out to one Austin Powers.
But there's other articles.
Yeah, I think this is another Vice article actually.
So I think Vice really coming out self-reporting here.
Scroll down.
Why tiny dicks might come back into fashion.
What's going on in Vice?
This is really, really wishful thinking.
Oh my god.
But yeah, and then there's more stuff like the new ideal woke leftist intersectional man, of course being a trans woman, is wondering to themselves, why am I starting to only just get my first period cramps?
Okay, I'm a trans woman.
Who's experiencing her first period cramps?
And what the earth?
I've literally never felt pain like this.
Why do we let people live like this?
So that's a biological male who wants to be a woman who's getting period cramps?
Yes.
I think you should speak to a doctor, mate.
How?
I don't know.
Well, actually, actually, there's an article.
There's an article I found about it.
Why trans women can have periods from 2018.
Sure, it's not their appendix.
It might be.
It might be.
First, let's get this out of the way.
Yes, trans women can have periods.
No, we do not menstruate, but if your definition of period is so narrow as to only include the flow of blood, then you're not living in the 21st century.
Disclaimer, I'm not a doctor.
As if we needed confirmation.
Is this satire?
I wish, but the website is called Curvy and Trans.
It's talking about cycle dynamics, and it's from people who are trying to give, like, actual advice.
So, like that Lulz article you and Carl looked at the other day, I can only assume this is sincere.
It's getting harder and harder, isn't it?
Yes, but now apparently biological men can have periods.
Don't worry that you're not bleeding.
It still counts.
But here's a list of...
Here's a list of period symptoms they give here.
Cramping in the lower abdomen, water retention and bloating, gas, diarrhea, and other intestinal issues, otherwise known as period craps.
I will censor it a bit there.
Emotional instability and irrational thoughts, muscle aches and pains, joint pain, stiffness, breast engorgement and nipple tenderness, and fatigue.
So basically, anything, if you've got a stomach ache, you've got, mate, if you've got a stomach ache right now, mate, sorry, sad to tell you this It's your time of the month.
The biological male who wants to be a woman is experiencing stiffness.
That's their time of the month.
Yeah, but when I get back from the gym and get muscle aches and pains, God, it's a terrible period.
Time of the month.
Time of the month is all month.
So essentially, what the left wants to do to all the men who are left after that glorious revolution...
Oh, God.
You see the bullet points.
Do you see number three?
Don't read it, Al.
Yeah, no, that's what I just read.
But the period...
Yeah, that's what I said, period craps.
Oh, I thought you were worrying about the word cramp.
No, period craps.
No, all right, never mind, sorry.
I have heard that they are a legit thing in biological women.
Right.
There you go.
But what they want us to be, everybody remembers from this weekend, the only noteworthy thing to happen at the Oscars for a few years, was Will Smith, the emasculated cook-old, slapping another man for insulting his cheating wife.
But not slapping the man who effed his wife.
No, probably shaking his hand.
Congratulations, how was it, sir?
Would you like a drink?
You look famished.
If you are still a man, this is what they want us to be.
They want us to be a short manlet, preferably biologically female or low testosterone, cook old with a tiny penis.
This is what the left wants.
Vice versions of the ideal man.
Yes.
In the vice world, that's considered a high status...
You know, say what you want about the Soviet regime.
At least they had, like, a manly idea of what men should be.
Yeah, well, I mean, the Soviet man is like, okay, so we tried socialism and it doesn't work.
It doesn't make any sense and it's evil.
But what if humanity wasn't what it is and instead is a fantasy version, a fan fiction of what we think humans should be?
Then everything would work.
Whereas the intersectionals have gone, hold up, intersectionality doesn't map onto reality.
It doesn't work with men as they are now.
So what if we make a fanfiction of what men should be?
What if we make all men biological women?
And cooks.
And cooks.
This is what they've got in store for you.
Resist it at all costs.
Refuse to eat the bugs.
I refuse to live in the pod.
I refuse to become a cuckold.
Yeah.
Refuse cuckoldry.
At every step.
Return to tradition.
Yes.
Return to monogamy.
Uh, let's go, video comments.
You could bring a gun, and that would prove that your martial art is better.
Escalate slightly.
Well, being the last person in the gold-tier call, I didn't get the full five minutes, did I? So I didn't actually get to tell you how much it really escalated.
It did escalate past swords.
Guns were used, but that wasn't enough.
Turns out that the jihadists got inspiration for Trucks of Peace from the Dojo Wars.
Yes, that actually happened.
Oh, and of course, people firebombed each other's houses and workplaces and dojos.
That's pretty brutal.
I don't know what on earth these people were thinking after the swords.
Like, after you're stabbing a guy to prove that kung fu works.
I don't think the Molotov is going to make the case any better.
Allow me to show you the power of my fists.
Literally.
Let's go back on.
Alright, well this is a pretty funny plug.
It's got four hot wires put underneath these two screws and four neutrals underneath those two screws.
That is a clear violation of the electrical code even back when this was installed and you didn't have to have pigtails.
So now you're gonna have to fix it in 10 seconds.
I miscounted.
There were five wires, and because of how many there were, I didn't have enough room in the box to put a new plug in, so I could only tie the circuit through and put a blank cover.
Already?
Why did he need five?
Why on earth did he decide five?
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
Right, lovely boys.
Let's have a look at you.
Disgusting!
Never have I seen such a display of blatant poofery.
Back to Japan, we pick up with characters from the second Axum book.
A major event causes a plot time constraint and the characters struggle to keep up.
However, they also learn revelations about each other that undermine the blithe confidence they had, forcing change to strengthen and grow.
There seems to be less of a propensity for striking bloody poses, which can only be a good thing.
The title is well chosen from Kant, as described in the tale.
Alright, well there's a 30 second book review of C.S. Cooper's books there, and it's a blatant case of moving on.
Not allowed to do that anymore, are you?
I'd love to say queer though, that's the funniest part.
Queer.
I think queer will probably be banned in the next 20 years.
Everybody around here is rather queer to me.
And the P word will come back into fashion.
Not poof.
Oh god, they're going to be going for poof pride.
200 years in the end will come back, I don't know.
Anything can happen.
Oh, don't get my hopes up.
I'm joking.
So, after my mottling career took off, I no longer have time for Euclips.
That's a lie, my computer have just been broken, but what a time!
President Zelensky had a livestream speech to the Danish government...
That basically amounted to we need to sanction Russia because of climate change.
I'm not joking.
And of course, stamping ovation from the entire Danish government.
I was about to say, I don't know where you've been for a while, because you did disappear, so sorry to hear about your computer.
Well, nice to see that you're back, though.
Yeah, but also, I mean, look, I get it.
We're trying to help the Ukrainians, because geopolitics and all that, who are you going to side with here, obviously, if nothing else, and then all the rest of it.
And I thought it was a bit weird when we were all clapping for Zelensky, but we're sending him missiles all the time, and that makes sense.
For the Danish parliament to be like, yes, we will boycott Russia for climate.
I mean, how irrelevant from the world do you have to get, you know?
Yeah, well, no, I think Karl's made some good points on his propaganda thing, that the fact that Zelensky is being sort of held up as this new ideal man, he's being sort of deified in the press, you know.
Have you seen those awful Reddit posts where it's like, God, I would let Zelensky cook me.
I did.
They were weird.
It's horrible, isn't it?
It's absolutely awful, but I think it also shows just the state of society, where now it's like, we need to start World War III. Everybody sits there quietly like, hmm?
For climate change!
Yeah, but also for Denmark's contribution to climate change.
You know how big Denmark's contribution to CO2 emissions is, don't you?
Oh, it's enormous.
Again, not even all of Denmark.
Only the portion which they get from the Russian gas.
That's what I mean.
Could you get any less important an issue in which people can feel self-important?
You throw out these buzzwords and people understand how they're supposed to react to these buzzwords.
There's nothing beyond that.
There's nothing beyond a knee-jerk reaction.
Oh, that's a bad thing, and if we oppose the bad thing, I need to be in favour of opposing the bad thing.
There you go.
Anyway, good to see you again, Sophie.
Let's go to the next one.
You guys seem to like watching people make things, so here, you can watch me make a martini.
Feels like ages ago, but I remember Sargon launching this new Lotus Eater and keeping watching since This Week in Stupid was gone.
And there's this weird guy named Callum with him.
He's this young, annoying dork on a show that's supposed to be just Sargon.
He's awkward and clearly not used to the camera like Sargon is.
Yet a couple episodes in, he's a natural at it and endlessly entertaining.
I see why he hosts the show so much of the time now.
Great job, Callum, and I'm really glad that you joined the team.
Well, thanks, I guess.
I don't know what else to say.
You left out short from his description.
We can't be too nice around here.
Why did we hire you?
No, I'm going to laugh.
But I'd love to see more of your cocktail bar there.
Yeah, that was cool.
I've always...
I don't know when I'd actually use it, but I always wanted a cocktail bar in, like, my dream home.
Just, like, loads of alcohol.
Because, I don't know, there's something cool about making cocktails when people come round, but then...
Yeah.
To be fair, there's a lot of stuff I'd want in my dream home, but I've never realised that cocktail bar, yes.
Yeah.
But you'd only ever use it, like, once in a blue moon, sure.
When you have, like, friends round for a gathering or something, and you're like, oh, I'm going to be the excellent host.
The ideal host.
Ah, let me do some cocktails for you.
Have you played Facade?
I've watched plenty of playthroughs of it.
I know that you can mess about with the two couples.
But there is that worry that you're going to become that guy who's just like, here, have a cocktail.
And they're like, no, I don't want one.
It's like, I paid a lot of money for this cocktail bar.
You're going to damn well take one.
You're supposed to be my friend, dude.
Seriously, come on.
Stop talking to Grace.
I just like the versions of that playthrough where you just, they open the door and you just swear at them.
You just shut the door in your face.
You know the best swear word in Facade?
Which one?
Melons.
Oh yeah, he's terribly offended at melons, isn't he?
I love Facade.
If people don't know what I'm talking about, Google Facade video game.
It's a game where you type things and the characters are meant to react to what you're typing, but of course it's all imperfect.
You could also get uncomfortably close to each of them and they will react and notice.
You can also just kiss Grace in front of Chet a bunch of times.
Like, awkwardly?
He just stands there and goes like this.
Okay.
Let's go to the next one.
So I grew up in a very far left household where my father was basically part of the mid-level academic apparatchiks and there were some interesting details I noticed while living in that environment.
He would always promote the most degenerate lifestyles that you guys have been talking about recently.
While condemning anyone that even opines a more traditional lifestyle that's more healthy.
But the weird thing is that he views the products of this ideology with complete disgust and disdain and wants nothing to do with them.
And I always found that a very predatory kind of way of conducting oneself professionally.
And I'm wondering if you've encountered anything similar in the professional mid-managerial environments.
Who did he say was saying this?
Sorry, I missed the start.
I think some...
I missed it as well because I was reading the quotations.
Some member of a community that he was in that was far leftist.
Possibly his father?
But I don't know.
I mean, what do you call that kind of person?
The kind of person who just doesn't practice what they preach.
There's a word for it.
A hypocrite?
Yeah.
Leftists care about hypocrisy?
Well, it's not just a hypocrite.
It's the sense of...
Like, they're actively misleading everyone because they're saying this is the best way to live a life, so I'm not going to engage in that.
Swag oil salesman?
Yeah, sort of.
I'm not really run across many.
I've worked in...
For a large metropolitan...
Well, medium-sized metropolitan Manchester company before, and the management all seemed to just be going through the motions of putting a lot of this sort of stuff forwards without necessarily meaning any of it, and I think it was all...
They all felt a hostage situation because that's what you were supposed to do, whether or not they believed in it.
But they weren't too bad.
There was one situation in UKIP that did make me laugh, and I won't mention names, of course, but there was an individual who held a position in the EU, and they were associated with the party, and then I called them their first name, and their people got really annoyed at that, and I was like, why?
And they were like, oh, it's really impolite.
I'm like, why?
Because they work in the EU, don't you know?
They're like, we're UKIP. We don't like those types, roundy!
No, but seriously, we don't recognise it as anything legitimate!
Yeah.
Like, why would I care?
That's really strange.
It was the weirdest interaction.
It was such a contradiction.
They were like, why are you being rude about this person who holds a title in the EU, don't you know?
I was like, what?
Why are you viewing it with any prestige?
It was the weirdest thing, but I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head.
Thank you.
Let's go to the next one.
So a big thank you to the people who came and checked out the Windsorian on Getter.
Another thank you for the people that gave me some ideas for articles to write in the future.
Any other Lotus Eaters that have any ideas for potential satire news articles, feel free to DM me.
I'd be glad to make them.
And another big thank you to Tony D of Tony D and Little Joan for helping write an article about the 133rd Trans Regiment going to help out the Ukrainian refugees.
It's been getting a lot of positive reactions, so thank you very much for that.
I'm looking forward to reading any future hilarious articles that you write.
I can't tell if that's satire.
I can't tell if it's a ghost story.
I can't tell if it's real.
Actually, I have thought of a specific example.
I'm surprised it didn't spring to mind of the question that we were just thinking about a second ago.
Do you want to go first?
No, I couldn't find it.
Actually, my ex and her family, they were all massive leftists.
Her dad ended up coming out as trans, yada, yada, yada.
But they were all diehard conservative voters.
Despite the fact the Conservatives stood for everything they hated, and their rationale for it was, well, when we write into the MPs, the Conservative MP is the only one who responds to us, and listens to what we have to say.
To be honest, that is a good enough reason.
That's a good enough reason, but it was just strange because my ex and her family were just massive leftists.
She was the one who introduced me to all the SJW ideology that just freaked me out back in the day.
She called me Hitler for eating chicken.
Okay.
She was a complete moral relativist who said that, you know, like, oh, nobody's better than one another, and I'm like, are you better than Jimmy Savile?
And she was like, well, by my own standards, no.
I was like, okay then, alright.
We'll get a break off.
Stuck around way too long with that one.
But then also, do people who believe in everyone's the same, are they not better than the people who don't believe in that?
Well, you know deep down they see themselves as superior.
Yeah.
I wanted to read that article about the trans regiment that's going to Ukraine, because part of me wonders if little Joan and what I hear are saying that it's a ghost army of trans people who have gone to join the Ukrainians and spook the Russians back to the border.
I don't know.
Either way, we're about to find out, I suppose.
The Russians are so transphobic, they're just going, whoa, no!
40% ghost, Joan says.
Let's go to the next one.
Tony D and Little Joan with another Legend of the Pines, the Inn of the Hawk in Lambertville, New Jersey, built in the early 1860s.
It was a private residence, then an inn, and now a restaurant.
It has two ghosts, at least, including that of Jake the Handyman and a girl in a yellow floral dress, who are very nice ghosts.
They have menu items like fish and chips for you Brits, and a New York strip steak for only $26.95, and at that price, I am afraid of no ghosts.
Sandwiches are served with famous homemade pub chips, coleslaw, or salted vegetables.
We should take a trip.
That's two feed vegetables.
There's no curry sauce.
I mean, it's America, so...
I don't know how often they're going to be having curry sauce in America.
But I like the idea of a very nice, friendly ghost.
Imagine that you just put your plate down and the salt just picks itself up and sprinkles a nice amount just over your chips or something.
Oh, thanks.
Him so there just being like, oh, thank you very much.
I'm going to talk about this later.
Oh, boy.
Hey there.
I thought I'd show you all my day-to-day job as an electrical engineer.
So this is a transmission tower.
It's just over a thousand feet tall.
This one here just needs a bit of maintenance.
Nothing too extreme, just a bit of repairs here and there.
All the equipment that I have is in the big red bag, which weighs about 30 kilos, I think?
Sometimes 35.
So yeah, not too heavy.
We always try to make it light, because you don't want to carry too much weight on you.
Is that actually him?
I can only assume so.
Have you seen clips of people doing that sort of stuff before?
Yeah.
It's really interesting.
Let me know, but I'm aware tangentially that people who do this get paid a lot for just the one because of how dangerous it is.
You go up like...
No one else is going to do it.
Yeah, you do it like once or twice a year and you get paid a nice lump sum for it.
It does look weirdly exciting though.
I could never do it.
What were you about to ask me?
I was going to say you're northern, so what do you put on your chips?
I put gravy on my chips.
Chips, cheese and gravy, love.
Now that's the good stuff.
I'm trying to remember what my mum does.
She's Norman as well.
You don't have to sound so disappointed in her.
Who puts gravy on chips?
Apologise to your sane people, normal people, people with functioning taste buds.
Nah, tartar sauce.
I can agree with curry sauce.
That's not bad.
I enjoy some curry sauce on chips from time to time, mainly when I was in high school, but I just know what I like.
It's gravy.
Gravy.
That's the north for you.
It's grim up there.
So, on Disney's gay agenda...
That's nicer up there than it is down south nowadays.
Nah, you're actually right on that.
Anyway, do you want to read the comments on Disney?
I'll read a few of them, yeah.
Anthony S says, propaganda by definition is when politics are put first in a work of art.
Absolutely.
I don't think anything that's coming out of Hollywood for the most part is not propaganda.
Shouts as chips and beans.
Chips and beans.
Nah.
Nah, chips and gravy.
The other day I went and brought frozen chips, frozen fish cakes and beans and just had a meal like I was nine again.
Did you get some turkey dinosaurs as well or something?
It was terrible.
I'm far too old and sophisticated for that sort nowadays.
Oh no, it was horrible, mate.
Oh, fair play.
That's alright then.
Oh, I wonder if this terrible meal from my childhood is still terrible.
Nope.
Yep.
Got a bunch of that.
I hope there's still these eating too.
Sorry, I interrupted that.
No worries, no worries.
Marcus Melville says, Welcome to Grey World.
There is nothing special about anyone because everyone is special.
Yes, Disney really should have been paying more attention to the message of The Incredibles, which I might do a video on relatively soon.
Baron Von Warhawk says I find it weird how these people's multi-million dollar job is to entertain and cater to children yet it's obvious that these people have no idea how children think or work they probably spend so much time thinking and working on this wokest nonsense that they ironically neglect their own kids except to drag them around as an accessory for their cocktail parties P.S. one of them actually used the term sus, it's making me cringe Callum I'm dying from cringe that's actually a sad fault though which is that
I wonder if there are some kids that do this to try and get some attention from their weird-ass parents.
I would not be surprised.
I mean, kids of the incredibly wealthy who grow up very privileged are often also growing up quite lonely.
I don't want to play armchair psychologist too much, but you bet it happens, don't you?
Yeah, I know.
It definitely does happen.
I mean, just look at the Disney kid stars and how messed up they all turn out in the end.
How many of them killed themselves?
I've not looked into that.
I know Miley Cyrus is not a well-adjusted person.
Which one came out as non-binary last year?
I forget.
The one that looks like a potato.
Okay, well, you know who I'm talking about.
Let us know in the chat.
Base 8.
Aladdin, quick, we have to hurry.
Jafar is trying to overthrow the king and take Jasmine hostage.
We have to hurry.
Aladdin, oh my god, we need to go, but read quick.
Could you, really quick, could you pop a finger on my butt and blow me 69?
Thanks, Base 8.
No, that's Haram.
We live in the Middle East.
Yep.
Someone, Icy Huntley says, "Nothing really wrong with using dreamers of all ages.
Who cares?" It's not the phrase itself that I find objectionable.
It's the fact that they have explicitly replaced and removed any reference to boys and girls from it Is the main problem.
Hang on, because Mr. Huntley Huntley, you're saying there's nothing wrong with using the phrase.
You could agree with that, but what is the will behind it?
Because if the will behind it is because it's a cute phrase...
Yeah, okay, who cares?
Yeah, it sounds magical or something.
The worry and the concern is obviously that the will behind it in this case is the Disney executives being inspired by intersectional ideology, I mean, you can all trace this, to decide that gendered language shouldn't be allowed.
I mean, they are censoring the language used by their staff That is the will.
It is not because the staff just think, oh yeah, dreamers of all ages, that's a cute phrase.
No.
So if it was just an option, like, sure, but if you're actively censoring your own staff from saying things because it's ideologically wrong, then no, that is a completely different kettle of fish.
Yes.
Good explanation there, Callan.
Thank you.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on me.
X, Y, N, Z says the term you're looking for with the hormones in the cereal is Munchausen by proxy.
Usually the sicko wants to gain recognition of some, excuse me, kinder or another by injuring their kid.
I'll go one more from here.
That is, sadly, where it seems to be pointing towards.
There's loads of people making Asian name jokes now.
Not gonna read those.
Gonna get clipped.
So on Black People Finally Safe, M1Pink says, Why are the Democrats outlawing one of their party's favourite pastimes?
Yeah, I had a look at who's the mayor of Chicago as well, where Emmett Till was killed.
And, what was it, 14 years before Emmett Till was born, was the last Republican mayor of Chicago.
So the last time Chicago was habitable.
Well, the last time it was not a Democrat-run hellhole.
And as it became, under Emmett Till's life, well, the short one of what it was, was literally people hanging people for being black and getting away with it.
Remember, Woodrow Wilson is the guy who caused the KKK to spring back up with his histories of America, and which party did he belong to?
I know, but it's just such a weird thing whenever you see Dems do this.
Yeah.
Because of their history.
I mean, even with Emmett Till's case, you can just look at the local authorities and say, okay, it's all Dem.
So when this happened, you guys were all in charge, and then you continued to have stayed in charge.
Mm-hmm.
And a lot of you opposed this whole equal rights nonsense in the 60s.
Slavery bad.
I don't know.
The Dems have a different point of view.
For the purposes of debate at the BBC. He's brought his robes along with him.
We've invited JFK. Sorry, it doesn't make sense.
JFK, I think...
I don't know, deep down, maybe.
Comrade Starmus says, all murders are illegal, but some murders are more illegal than others.
Exactly.
Stuart Edmund says, so Jesse Smollett is guilty of lynching now?
Certainly is.
M1 Ping, some fear of Islam seems perfectly reasonable for any female or gay person.
Or non-Muslim as well.
Especially the pagans.
Run for your lives.
Edward of Numenor says, wait, if they're going to lynch, if they're going off the lynch mobs, doesn't that put Antifa at risk?
It would.
No, it's only the specific lynch mobs.
It would, if the police weren't politicised.
We've seen evidence that the American policing system seems to be saved from this aspect, which has infected British policing for some time.
I hope it stays that way.
I think most police forces are state police forces, or even local police forces, so they're less liable, whereas in the UK it's all interconnected with the larger state.
There's that.
Also, whenever we speak to police officers, especially the guys at Voice of Wales, hats off to you guys, the chap there who's advised them.
I've spoke to a lot.
It's the College of Policing.
Whenever we speak to Faircop, it's the College of Policing.
Everyone seems to agree.
It's that avenue of, what would you call it, code, conduct, training, all the rest of it just gets infected with political ideology, and at which point the whole system has to be thrown away.
You've got to throw away the whole hamburger.
You can't eat that.
Jesse Abrams says, so much lynching going on I had to Google what the definition was.
Maybe I'm just retarded, but honestly forgot what it meant.
Yeah.
It's common everywhere.
Jesse Smollett, for example.
Alexander P says, so this anti-lynching bill going to be applied to the epidemic of black on Asian violence?
Let me guess.
No.
No, it won't.
Because again, all political.
Robert Longshore says, according to the Labour Party, if I'm a Viking, it's racist to stop me raping and pillaging.
And it is just your natural culture.
Well, you know, the individuals who have been caught and sentenced are disproportionate.
You can argue this, and there is some aspect to that, of course.
I think you are correct.
However, the motive for why to do this, I don't think, is just we need more slaves.
I think it is because of an ideological point of view.
I don't think it'll be like slave labour or anything like that, because once again, if you've murdered somebody, you're still probably going to go to prison.
Well, there is this argument.
I'm not really sure how I feel of it.
So I wonder what your thoughts are on the American system.
Because we've gone through it before, the mass incarceration.
People are in there for real things.
They're not in there for possession en masse.
That's a myth.
But then they all get used in essentially slave labor.
I mean, they get paid 20 cents.
It's not exactly slavery, but it's you can't leave.
Here's the only job.
And you're getting paid nothing for what your labor's worth.
But it means that the Americans can make so many things for the military and whatnot they otherwise wouldn't be able to make.
It's true.
I've not really looked into the system enough.
I will just say that I think that prison should be a punishment.
So I don't really...
If you've done the crime, you better do the time.
I don't really care that much.
I suppose as long as you've got an option to just sit out, as in, like, I'll just sit in the cell or I'll go to training instead, then that's fine.
Honestly, I believe that for a lot of people, rehabilitative prison sentencing is a waste of time.
A lot of them it seems to be.
Yes, and sadly America seems to be a great example where that is the case.
Let's move on to all the people you've insulted.
Starting with our own Pete Reynolds!
Hi Pete!
Saying, Harry, on behalf of the short-arse community in the office, being Vicky and I, you've left Callum out, but okay, we'd like to know...
We'd like to know who'd you, a 6'3", vertically privileged, white male, think you're talking about short people problems?
This is height supremacy, height genocide, and height appropriation.
We are not a costume.
The level of privilege you have reaches heights that we can only dream of.
Literally shaking.
We need to talk.
Pete from HR. Smiley face.
The only thing I can say to that is that I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement.
You've attacked your HR manager.
I don't think that's wise.
The only thing I can do is apologise and hope to do better in the future.
I'm going to withdraw from the public sphere for a while and educate myself a bit better.
Alex L says...
To me, I don't agree, though.
I feel like being really tall is actually worse than being really short.
Because having your feet poke out, banging stuff, everything's not made for you.
There are benefits and disadvantages, I will give that, but overall, I like being tall.
Nah, I wouldn't take it.
I like it.
Alex L also says, Harry, stop making midget jokes.
It's not big, and it's not clever.
Fair point.
And just one more.
Minicus Monicus says, Ah yes, the uniquely female predicament linked to the ability to bear children reduced to some stomach aches and diarrhoea.
Oh, and farting, of course.
Thanks, lefties.
I'm sure women will be thankful to know there's nothing inherently female about their periods.
In fact, the fat-bearded guy next to him on the bus who's farting constantly could be on his period right now.
Actually mad, though, isn't it?
That's a good point.
I hate it.
I hate it.
It's just insane.
Like, actual insanity.
Anyway, on that insanity, we're out of time.
