Hello and welcome to the podcast The Load Seaters for the 25th of April 2022.
I'm I'm joined by Carl.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about the mysterious food processing plant fires.
London invents the female toilet.
Much achievement.
And mass shootings are the product of a dying society.
Which I'm sure is going to be a wonderful white belt.
But anyway, so I suppose we'll start off with the food processing plant.
Yeah, so there have been a bunch of mysterious fires and explosions at food processing plants.
And this understandably makes people rather concerned because it's become apparent that there are what I'm just going to term as malevolent forces acting upon our societies at the moment, as we have covered in great detail in previous podcasts on Logistics.com, such as this one, the Pfizer documents they as we have covered in great detail in previous podcasts on Logistics.com, such as this one, the Pfizer documents they didn't want to
And, oh yes, they were definitely trying to keep things from the public, things that we can't really talk about on YouTube, which is why you have to go to Logistics.com to watch that.
And the next one is, of course, The Great Reset, which appears to be in full swing, frankly.
This is a great article by Dr.
Michael Rectenwald, who's just laying out exactly all of the great dimensions of it.
And it's a big, big project that Klaus Schwab and his acolytes are undertaking, right?
And there's a great quote from here that I think really sets the stage for what I'm trying to get at here.
The WEF relies on the concentrated efforts of numerous interested players to bring about its desired outcome, while the Great Reset agenda makes sense of the seemingly unrelated elements that make up our contemporary sociopolitical, economic and psychological landscape.
As in, there are lots of things that otherwise, taken on their own, don't seem to be connected to part of a broader pattern of events.
And yet they are because of what's going on with the Great Reset.
And so it's in this context that a lot of people are reading about the recent rash of fires and explosions at food processing plants and thinking, well, okay, how is this not an attempt to get me to eat the bugs, basically, right?
As in, this is, we'll go through a bunch now.
You're saying bug fanatics are bombing the processing plants.
Not necessarily.
I think actually the implication that I think people are drawing from this is that there is a shady cabal of people in Davos who are sabotaging these things in order to make you eat the bugs later on.
But let's begin.
This began in around about 2019 that started rising prominence.
So this is a Tyson food factory in Kansas that 3,800 workers were laid off from because there was just a random fire there, apparently, that destroyed the whole thing.
And a spokesman said it would remain indefinitely closed.
This is concerning because this particular factory, somewhere like 5% of all the meat that America eats comes from this factory.
It's not an insignificant number.
Thank you.
And this, I mean, if you can get to the next one, this is from the Fence Post, which is an agricultural website that deals with all this.
And though Tyson afterwards had announced they would be rebuilding the beef harvesting facility, it caused much disruption in the market.
It's a disaster.
This is our tsunami, said one cattle feeder, someone who is involved in this.
Again, I'm not part of this industry at all.
I don't know anything about it.
So I've got to go on what they say.
But the thing is, what's interesting is that when there have been market crashes in food production, food actually becomes much cheaper for the consumer.
And they give a list of several examples.
But this last week's activity didn't follow suit.
According to Schumacher, the reported price for a choice carcass went up almost $200 per carcass, while the active bidding for a finished steer went up, basically.
But like I said, the company's going to rebuild on the location of the timeline was not at the time yet known.
The plant represents about 26% of daily slaughter in the state and 6% of total US-fed cattle packing.
So it's not a small number.
And in 2021, so two years later, they also lost another food processing factory in Hantsville, Alabama.
Again, just another fire.
It's like, hmm, this just keeps happening.
And in April 2022, this is going to cost them $200 million to rebuild it.
As I'm aware, it still hasn't been done.
And according to Tyson Foods, the same one as previously, the rendering plant is crucial to Alabama's agricultural industry.
So this plant breaks down and cooks the parts of the chicken people do not eat, producing animal feed and pet food and reducing waste.
By all accounts, I looked into the history of Tyson Foods.
They were founded by just some guy.
You know, it was a family-owned business.
And for three generations, it was family-owned.
And now it's some chap called King who began working there in like 1982.
So it's like, you know, it's not an international global conglomerate company that's owned by a bunch of shell companies in the Cayman Islands or something like that.
And so the mayor of Hansville was like, we never had a company more supportive of the community projects in need.
They're a great corporate citizen.
So they're embedded in the local communities.
We're not dealing with just money-shifting companies, basically.
Anyway, in August 2021, there was a fire at Patak Meat Products Factory.
And again, what's interesting about these, they seem to have a series of very similar characteristics, as in often it's meat processing and no one's injured.
These fires just break out in the middle of the night often.
And so the whole thing burns down.
No injuries, but the entire factory is just gone.
And so naturally people like rides.
This seems very sus, and understandably so, frankly, that they feel that it seems sus.
And so, yeah, and also in all of them, foul play is not suspected.
Anyway, moving on to September 2021, a JBS beef processing plant was...
Had a fire and would burn down and they will not of course resume their operations but they are due to reopen at some point if you get to the next one.
This one slaughters about 5% of US cattle as well.
So the last two years 10% of US beef supplies have been interrupted by fires.
Seems major, right?
Seems like a very important thing.
And in fact, they say in this Reuters article, the country has suffered a series of beef supply shocks after the last two years as large plants closed due to COVID-19 pandemic, a cyber attack that crippled JBS's operations, and another fire that shut a Tyson Foods plant in Kansas down for months.
So you can see why people are looking at this going, wow, this all seems a little bit coordinated.
And you've got the anti-meat agenda being pushed, and so people are naturally connecting dots.
Anyway, in April 2022, Taylor Foods had a fire that was started, they believe, by maintenance workers in the middle of the night.
And it looks sus.
I'm not saying it is sus.
It looks sus.
Sorry, but if it was started by maintenance workers, that would be foul play.
No, it would be an accident.
It's an accident.
Yes, as in they are maintaining something and they're welding something or other and obviously no injuries reported but the building burned down.
Total loss in that instance.
Moving on.
March 2022, Walmart Warehouse Fire in Plainfield, Indiana.
According to the police, there's a thousand employees in the center at the time, although no employees or firefighters were injured.
But the building, of course, gutted by the fire.
April 2022.
So again, this is all really happening very, very recently.
Azure Standard Food Processing HQ. Now this isn't a beef one, surprisingly, but I've essentially pulled these kind of arbitrarily because there have been loads and loads of these.
So this was a processing plant for nuts, grains, corns and other essentials and this fire in the headquarters where they also did work like that.
And it's interesting.
They've got a quote here from the editor of this piece.
There have been what seems like an unusual number of major fires in food processing facilities so far this year.
The Gem State processing potato plant in Hayburn, Idaho on April 13th caught fire when an airplane struck it.
No idea what happened there.
I assume an unfortunate accident.
The headquarters of Israel Standard in Derfoe, Oregon was also destroyed by fire on April 19th.
Shearer's Foods, a snack company, suffered explosion and fire at its plant in Hermiston and plenty more.
Thankfully, this fire produced no injuries or deaths.
It did destroy the headquarters along with the products that were being processed or stored there.
And of course, the company's CEO is like, well, this was a total loss, but we are going to try and operate it as normally as possible in the meantime.
I saw the chat talking about, like, the vegans or Allahu Akbar-ing the plants.
Well, this is what a lot of people online are saying, and that's why I decided to cover this, because it's like, well...
Kamikaze vegans.
I can't say with certainty that it's not.
However, but anyway, let's go on to the next one, because, again, if you can pull up this image, because it's just a composite.
In the last six months of just food processing plants that have burned down, It looks really, really bad.
And a lot of it, as you can see, is meat packing.
And so you can see why people like, hang on a second, you know, this sounds sus, very, very sus.
But the thing is, if you mark it on a map, again, if you go to the next one, it looks really bad as people have done.
So, oh my God, you know, this is happening all over America and in Canada as well.
This looks really sus.
But the thing is, this only looks really sus when you don't put the other food processing plants that didn't burn down.
On the map, how many food processing plants do you think there are in the United States?
No idea.
37,000.
They store highly flammable and explosive chemicals.
I use ammonia and stuff like this in all of these plants.
And so it's actually not an uncommon occurrence to have fires.
Now, I'm not saying that there isn't a concerted effort by the World Economic Forum to use vegan jihadis.
To radicalise the vegans to bomb the food processing plants.
Yeah, and to bring about an artificial scarcity, because, I mean, at the end of the day, food shortages probably are coming, but there are something like 36,486 in 2017, which was the last census they did on this, and these plants employed 1.7 million workers.
So it's like, oh, 5,000 workers have been laid off, because, yeah, okay...
But that's actually not very many compared to the number that are there.
And so I have no need to think that these are part of some kind of conspiracy.
They do want you to eat zabugs, but I don't think they are actually engaging in vegan jihadis.
The fastest way to do that probably isn't kamikazes.
No, probably not.
I think Klaus Schraub would come up with something better than kamikazes before then.
Yeah, I think so.
Might get caught as well.
Yeah.
But then, as we were saying, that's not to say that food shortages aren't coming, because I'm pretty certain that they are actually coming at this point.
Fertiliser prices, as we were just talking about before the podcast, have been rising anyway, but obviously these have spiked because of the invasion of Russia and the sanctions, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that we've put on Russia in return.
Russia happens to be one of the largest exporters of fertiliser, and who knew?
Until this happened.
Until everyone was like, okay, there are consequences to you sanctioning this massive country that produces stuff that we need.
Fertilizer costs have apparently doubled from a year ago as the war in Ukraine has disrupted the flow of supplies from Russia, the world's largest exporter of the commodity.
It's contributed for higher global prices for food, especially corn.
Corn is the most fertilizer intensive crop and is likely to be the most impacted by rising input costs Driven by the prices according to, again, one of the industry things.
Apparently it's worse than that because we were looking at the graph.
It's tripled now.
So it rose from like $80 to $200 per presumably tonne because of pandemic and then just has spiked again because Russia can't export their fertilizer now.
And so it's over triple the cost that it was a couple of years ago.
So not good.
And Joe Biden is actually aware of this and has actually told everyone this.
It's just that he gets lost in the reporting of him being a bumbling buffoon.
This is a direct quote from him, right?
We did talk about food shortages.
It's going to be real.
The final price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia.
It's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.
So Biden's sanctioning Russia is something he's aware is going to cause Americans to go hungry.
I'm just saying, when the President of the United States, no matter how absent he is in every other capacity, says, look, we're probably going to be experiencing food shortages, maybe it is worth listening?
Whose fault could it possibly be as well?
Well, yeah.
But don't worry, experts to the rescue, Callum.
Oh.
The experts have chimed in.
The fact-checkers have turned up to tell me that don't look at the old man.
Yeah, don't listen to that old kook.
He's nobody of any importance.
Food shortages are unlikely to occur in the US, and someone from CNBC who apparently knows what they're talking about has arrived to tell you why, right?
They've never been to a farm.
Probably never left the city, but...
Yes, that's exactly right, right?
I love the framing on this as well.
Meanwhile, food prices in the US are rising at historic rates, but don't worry about that.
It's like, no, no, I am worried about that, because I eat food.
I'm a food enjoyer.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm sorry, I am genuinely concerned about that, right?
I'm a bug fan.
While prices for commodities like wheat and corn are at their highest levels in a decade, what's more, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts that food at home prices will see an increase of up to 4% by the end of 2022.
It's important to realize that the U.S. doesn't import very much from Ukraine, explained Joseph Glauber, a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute.
But that's not what we were talking about.
We weren't like, oh no, we're not going to get grain supplies from Ukraine.
We're not going to get fertilizer from Russia!
Like, why would you say that, Joseph?
Unless you were deliberately trying to mislead people?
The next one, we may see some shelves that are empty for various kinds of food products like we have for a while now as we recover from the pandemic.
So Scott Owen, the chair of the Agricultural Marketing at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
But I can say with some real confidence that in the United States, the average consumer is not going to see a shortage of bread because of what's going on in Ukraine.
No, they're going to see a shortage of bread because they can't afford the bread.
Because less will have been made because it requires Russian fertilizer and we're not unporting Russian fertilizer.
But it's amazing how the fact checkers are like, don't worry, we don't get grain from Ukraine.
It's like, yeah, but that wasn't the question.
I have seen in the discourse, well, I don't know if you were going to mention, but I can't remember the chap's name, but he keeps mentioning the fact that Russia's also a massive exporter of food to third world countries.
Yes.
Not out of the goodness of their hearts, because...
Weirdly, Egypt.
Yeah, and these, well, these shipments apparently aren't going to happen anymore.
No.
So, a bunch of the third world is now looking at...
Ukraine as well.
Yeah.
It's really, really weird.
But I remember we were looking at this the other day, and I was just like, why would Egypt...
A place that gets two harvests a year needs to import grain.
But if you can't grow wheat in Egypt, what can you do?
It's run by Egyptians, so...
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I don't want to tell you.
But anyway, just to hammer this home, people in the UK thinking, well, at least I don't live in America.
Not my problem.
Yeah, we're going to get food shortages here, too.
And this was literally today that The Independent published this, because farmers have warned that the UK is sleepwalking into food shortages because of rising costs of fuel, fertilizer, and feed.
One farmer in Snowdonia told GB News, we're walking into food shortages, and that's a fact.
I could take you to 10 farms in the surrounding area now that have been turning down their production.
Chicken farmers, egg producers, milk producers, even beef and lamb, because feed prices are going through the roof.
We've got absolutely ridiculous fertilizer prices, and we can't forget that half the food produced in this world comes from artificial fertilizer.
The price of nitrogen fertilizer has, of course, gone up to £1,000 a month.
So, I don't really have that much to add there, although I think that it's not a conspiracy.
I think that this is actually a consequence of poor management.
I mean, demonstrably.
Yeah, knee-jerk political maneuvers.
Well, the fertilizer one's an easy one as well, because you can just look at the graph.
I mean, just look up, if you're at home, because we didn't load it up.
The graph is just fertilizer prices over time graph, and you'll just get, it's basically constant until the pandemic season, in which the politicians described that they would ruin the entire economy.
Yep.
For reasons unknown.
And then it just completely spikes.
And then war in Ukraine spikes again.
Fantastic.
And all the fires in the meat and the food processing plants, this is actually not unusual because of the chemicals that they have to use to...
I think what's been happening is basically a kind of self-selection that people on the internet have started to look for this kind of thing and are putting together a pattern without realising that this is actually not unusual and it's actually a very, very small amount of food processing.
What are you smirking about?
Because the chat is like, it's time to go in the fields and start pooping.
I don't know.
Yeah, they do that in North Korea.
Yes.
You've told me before.
Anyway, so the food processing plant is probably not a consequence of WEF conspiracy, although food shortages are coming.
We're all going to turn to North Koreans.
Collect the bucket at the end of the week.
Get your food token.
That's what used to happen anyway.
Horrible.
Anyway.
Let's move on to London, inventing the female toilet.
They've done it, boys.
How forward-thinking.
They've figured it out, that maybe if we have a toilet for females, then problems go down in the regards of females being abused in toilets.
Okay.
I know.
Big thanks.
And I'll start this off with a shill here, being Abigail Shear's irreversible damage that Harry did, and him going through that she documents the social contagion and the cult-like nature of the modern, let's say, trans movement.
Yeah, I did this with him.
Honestly, it's a fascinating, fascinating book.
And if you want to hear the unvarnished medical truth about what it is to physically transition, definitely go watch our book club because it's awful.
It is genuinely harrowing.
But go and check that out because, of course, we'll be getting back to transgenderism in a minute.
Because, of course, we will.
We'll go to the next one.
We have George Bernard Shaw here, who is talked about in this Islington tribute, local paper in London borough, of course, just talking about the fact that he was a pioneer of his day in the 1800s arguing for women's water closets.
So we had gender-neutral bathrooms back in the 1800s.
And it didn't go well.
So then people were like, well, maybe the women should have their own area.
The progressives were like, we need to segregate men and women.
How things have changed.
And, well, they thought of that.
And as you can see, this image here being apparently the first ever female, the ladies, first ever public female toilet where ladies could go and be on their own and not abused.
And that's a bad idea.
Let's turn back the clock.
So if we go to the next one, we have the Camden New Journal reporting here that the local council have decided, nah, we're giving up on that.
Women told to share Camden public loos with the gents.
I just found this amazing, because you can already tell what's going to happen.
It's the easiest predictable thing.
And they even list it in here as well.
Women who want to use the public toilet in Camden Town, again the first toilet ever to be separate for women because of the obvious problems, they've gone back on that, has been asked to share the underground conveniences with men, leading to protests that they might feel unsafe.
A campaign has now been launched to try and persuade the town hall to provide women with their own set of toilets.
A modern idea.
A new forward-thinking idea that maybe women should have their own place they could go.
But the council says it needs to fund repairs and repair the broken men's facilities and close the tube station, meaning the ladies is now a gender-neutral space.
Well, at least they didn't just say, well, listen, that's transphobic.
But they will go on to.
Okay, yeah, fair enough.
Of course they will.
They say, of course, ironically, this were the very first female toilets set up for this historic reason.
Susan Williams, who lives in Hampstead, first noticed the women's toilets were now gender-neutral a few weeks ago.
She said, I was trying to go to work and I was busting for a wee.
Realised the loos were gender-neutral and I went in anyway because it was there on the curb.
They were smelly, horrible, and intimidating, because the men were there as well.
I don't know if she's talking about the men or the lose themselves.
Miss Williams said that she does not object to the idea of a gender-neutral toilet, but added, there should be some for women only too.
Then, you do object to the idea of a gender-neutral toilet.
Not for the men.
Yeah.
If the men want to have to deal with that, that's their problem.
Men don't get their own choices.
Why would a woman go into a gender-neutral toilet when she had the option of a woman's only toilet?
Ah, you know, a trans woman might.
They're not.
It will literally, that will just become the men's toilet.
Yeah, but I also love the typical, I don't know if she's a feminist herself, but the attitude of like, the men shouldn't have their own space.
They should be mixed, but the women should.
Oh, this is just something women think.
The ideal, she said, would be for the men's toilets to be gender-neutral and for the women's to be kept women's only.
Yeah, the ideal for women?
How about the other way?
We have a men-only toilet and a gender-neutral toilet?
The local town council decided to go with, those loos were campaigned for and opened by none other than George Bernard Shaw himself.
We were the first borough to have women's only loos.
It would be pretty crazy if we were to close them and be the first one to do so.
Well, they did, so it failed.
Go to the next one.
What do you think happened?
Someone got raped in there?
Not quite.
But the women were constantly just being harassed by weirdos.
So this is that they say they're going to bring them back.
New ideas, folks.
What if we have a ladies' toilet?
Where ladies can go.
And be ladies.
Yet another example of progressives reverse engineering Atlantis, isn't it?
I mean, it reminds me of when you did your segment talking about the progressives have found marriage.
Yeah.
And again, they have now discovered the invention of a female toilet.
Separate male and female spaces.
What an idea.
When you have to do intimate things like go to the toilet.
We've gone back to I'm now an uber-feminist.
Yeah.
Anyway, so Academy Council leader Georgina said that it was unacceptable that a woman had reported a frightening experience in the gender-neutral loos.
Also entirely predictable.
She also received no response from the council at all when she complained about this.
Too bad for her.
Miss Lewis, 57, a lifelong Camden resident, has been using the loos with her 10-year-old son last autumn when a man in the cubicle next to her started shouting, I'm coming for you.
That's normal.
And also completely predictable.
Well, that's the problem.
I mean, here's the weirdness thing.
Because, like, this is someone who is so frightened by someone shouting, I'm coming for you, in the Jenna neutral toilets, and obviously recognizes that these places are stupid, at the bare minimum, and yet still goes off in the public paper being like, I'm very open-minded, though.
Well, she doesn't want the social stigma of being a bigot.
Against what?
People being weird and pervy in her toilets.
It's part of inclusion and diversity to be weird and pervy.
Yes.
That is the, well, inclusion.
And so she's like, well, look, I'm not like, you know, someone who doesn't want to get assaulted in the toilets.
We should have a special bathroom where people can get assaulted if they choose.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
I don't mind it being mixed gender.
I obviously do.
But that toilet in particular, because it's isolated, you have to go down these stairs.
If someone confronts you in there, there's no way out.
I know that can happen with women also, but it's a very different thing when you feel a threat from a man.
Agreed.
It's not open.
It's not like you can just head out the door.
Agreed.
No, that's true.
There's a fundamental biological difference between men and women.
It's almost why they decided they would separate the men and the women in the 1800s.
It's why it's appropriate that we still do so.
But I just love that it's exactly this spot.
It is the place in which everyone realised, maybe we should separate the men and the women.
Because this is turning into a crime-ridden hellhole.
And then the progressives have come along and go, well, that was transphobic.
Victorians.
Change that back.
And it went exactly as expected.
And if we move forward, if we go to the next one, I thought we'd also mention some other...
Toilet stuff, shall we say.
This one, being a local councillor.
Mayor to be quizzed on gender-neutral toilets by a new Conservative councillor, because he's a Conservative, who wants gender-neutral toilets.
Don't know why.
We'll find out why.
The feeling of humiliation is an experience that most of us don't go through when we visit the public toilet.
In 2018, this is simply unacceptable.
It is the current year, said the Conservative, because he's been watching John Oliver.
I understand clearly that there will be some concerns from the councillors and members of the public, About what?
Want to name it?
But the risk does not increase once the public toilets become gender neutral.
How could it not?
He is no evidence.
No reason whatsoever.
In fact, if anyone has the intention of committing a crime at present, they will do so already, says the Conservative, advocating for gender neutral toilets.
Well, that's an incredibly progressive position to suggest that literally intentions are unmodified by circumstances.
I'm wild.
It's not opportunity.
That's not part of the criminal mindset.
It's never something you take into account.
You want to guess, our dashing hero here, our conservative man, why he might be arguing for gender-neutral toilets?
I don't even want to say it, but I think I know what you're going to go with.
Yeah, nonce.
Yeah, let's start off here.
UK politician who campaigned for gender-neutral town, found guilty of child sex abuse.
Leftist and nonce.
What a shock.
Conservative, he swears.
Well, conservative leftist nonce.
I mean, this is how you know, it's just the...
I'm a conservative, folks are strange.
Can I just really plug our Physionomy podcast that they and Josh did?
I'm telling you, man.
There really is.
Just look at him.
Just look at him.
He's a conservative.
Charged with 11 counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child.
He was found unanimously guilty on all counts at a jury in Teesside Crown Court today.
Now let's keep that picture up, John, because I'm just in awe.
Like, if I were to...
Do you want to right-click and open it in a new tab?
If I were to ask an AI, right?
Like, you know, what is that AI that draws things?
Dali.
Yeah, Dali, that's it.
But, like, draw me a picture of a nonce.
I think that's what it would do.
I will say, like, if Little Brit never do a sketch and they want the person to be suspect, I mean, that's what they do.
So, okay.
Yeah, but there we go.
Noncephysionomy.
Asking for gender-neutral toilets and saying that, don't worry, we criminals, sex criminals, we'll just do it anyway.
We don't need you to be segregated or not.
He's not worried.
I think he was actually looking for opportunity.
Yes.
Moving forward then, because we'll go on to some other weird news in this regard, which is that the University of Plymouth has decided to, well, lecture their students that they should stop complaining about such things.
How dare you be concerned with safety?
Oh, this is a Loudoun County thing, right?
I don't think anyone's been abused yet.
No, but I know you're worried about it, but just shut up for the sake of diversity.
Trust me, no one will be abused.
I know every time we've tried this, the person suggesting it has been an abuser.
The person suggesting it just happens to have a history of noncing.
Or the person who, you know, immediately after being open, it has to be returned because it completely failed because it ends up with abuse.
But don't worry, this time it'll work.
Not real progressivism, I suppose.
Scroll down on this, John.
We can see the sign they put up at Plymouth University.
You are welcome here.
Do you think someone is using the wrong bathroom?
How could you know?
I'm sure there would be a way.
Please don't...
Notice an Adam's apple on that woman peeing standing up?
Into the sink.
Please don't challenge them.
Don't stare at them.
Don't insult them.
Instead, respect their privacy.
Respect their identity.
Carry on with your day.
Because the other funny thing, I imagine women don't do this, but in the men's, when you walk in, because we use urinals, when all the urinals are taken, what men will do is they'll leave the store door open and pee into the toilet, and you walk by, because it's just another urinal, right?
I'm imagining that.
I'm imagining a woman walking in, and there's just stood up, door open.
Old habits die hard.
Notice what they're doing here.
Don't think that you're socially entitled to be able to expect a reasonable degree of comfort from that person.
Don't ever dare ask a question about it either.
Shut up and just let them pee in the sink and, you know, whatever it is else they're doing.
You know, respect that.
Respect that.
It's like, why the hell should you?
I mean, we're joking, but even if someone did decide to do that, I mean, what would be the argument?
Presumably from the progressives, don't stare, don't insult them.
Yeah.
What ride do you think you have to expect comfort in your bathroom?
It's like squat toilets, sinks, I guess.
Anyway, they say respect their privacy, respect their identity, carry on with your day.
As if it's like, keep calm and carry on.
They are using the toilets they feel safe in.
How do you know that?
Oh, you're just a mind reader, are you?
They are.
You're not.
Yeah, exactly.
Why is their comfort more important than yours?
Do not make them feel uncomfortable.
Instead, protect them from harm.
What if they are literally predators and they're shouting, I'm coming for you, you know, from the next sort of like, why should they feel comfortable?
Don't insult him.
Don't stare at him.
Don't challenge him.
Let him come for you.
Yeah, exactly.
Why should they feel comfortable and you shouldn't?
I can see why the TERFs call this a men's race activism movement.
Yeah, I mean, they do see it that way.
And there was a tough response in here from some lady who said, well, notice how it explicitly doesn't say that female students are welcome.
Repellent gaslighting, which it absolutely seems to be.
Well, specifically, they're not talking about female to male who go into the men's bathroom, are they?
They're talking about male to female.
No one's concerned about that.
It's always the other way around.
Well, yeah, because men don't care.
If a woman walks into the men's bathroom, it's weird, but it's not like, oh no, my life's in danger.
But also, I don't feel like even if Elliot Page decided to try and harass you, you could probably just hold out an arm.
Yeah.
I mean, I suspect it's probably more dangerous for Elliot Page to go into the men's bathrooms anyway.
Yeah.
So, we'll move on from that, because, of course, this is all left-wing ideology, and I did notice something from Darren Grimes that made me laugh, which is just, you can see here, Rosie Duffield, quote from her, we're basically complete idiots.
Absolutely correct.
We're basically making complete idiots of ourselves, and there is no point pretending we're not.
Rosie Duffield from Labour Party.
It's just...
Well, I mean, it's not just you, though, Rosie.
Don't worry.
Yeah, well, she's on the position of, well, this is dumb.
We should accept women are women.
But, yeah, I mean, this is your worldview.
What's it come to?
Well, exactly that.
You're the progressive.
Well, we have something worse.
Because, of course, it always gets worse.
Let's go to the next one, because we have transgender underwear for four-year-olds to flatten their penis.
It's a sentence I never thought I'd say.
No, that is just awful.
No, this is terrible.
So the underwear are available in seven sizes.
The smallest of those, with hip measurements between 58cm and 61cm, which would include children as young as four.
The largest, up to 97cm, which would fit a teenager, has been designed by this lovely lady.
Why did she do this?
You might wonder.
Because it's not just any old underwear.
It's underwear that flattens the genitals of the wearer, so they can feel more like a woman.
A four-year-old will never need to feel like a woman.
What the hell's wrong with these people?
I don't know who on earth believes the four-year-old came up with that idea as well.
They didn't.
I mean, if a parent ever did that to a child, I mean, you immediately know it's not the four-year-old's idea.
Yeah.
I mean, it is definitely...
Well, I think we can...
This is grooming.
This is active grooming.
I love that the term grooming has become a normal place in this conversation.
So what we have here is a groomer.
Well, she's, uh, presumably, I don't know if she's just looking to make a quick buck off this kind of nonsense.
Oh, no, no, no.
If you're looking to make a quick buck, you wouldn't do this.
This is born of an ideological drive so that four-year-old boys can feel like women.
And this is why the TERF definition of woman is entirely appropriate, because it's got adult in it.
Not four-year-old.
Yeah.
But then again, I suppose they want to erase that distinction.
Children should not be able to identify as men and women.
End of story.
Under the dedicated kids section on the website, because of course, the company says, Cameron Liu Kids is here for trans girls and non-binary children in their journey.
No such thing.
We are the first company, you heard, to listen to the children that need us.
There's no such thing.
You're a groomer.
No four-year-old sent you an email.
What are you talking about?
Creepy groomers and sexualized children.
Tory Peer, Baroness Nicholson, said, I'm truly horrified.
The makers, sellers, and distributors of these items are breaking the Children's Act and are heavily abusing the NHS health criteria for children as well.
So, apparently this is also illegal, according to the Baroness.
Children have an absolute unbreakable right to health, and those wretched items are against that.
I will report them, I will go to the wire to gain children their rights against this seemingly criminal behaviour.
I would like to see some sort of criminal punishment for these people.
And the reason for it is because it's not even, well, it's totally irreversible, remember?
That's the battle cry for everything ever.
Apparently, according to some doctors, this underwear is particularly not irreversible because it makes you infertile.
That is irreversible.
Hmm.
I'm sorry, but we're going to make our four-year-old infertile because he wants to be a woman.
That's monstrous.
Right.
Testicles need to be at a lower temperature, a couple of degrees lower than the body, said consultant paediatrician Dr.
Shirban Ahmed.
That's why they are in the scrotum, outside of the body.
At a young age, if they continue to remain in a high position, the cells that produce sperm eventually die off.
Well, that's not this person's problem.
Oh, so it's the kid's problem, but then again, he was totally emailing this fashion company to make this, I'm sure.
There's a method of creating Unix?
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
So we go to the next one as well.
Of course, it gets weirder.
I remember this story a long time ago.
I remember Brighton, very proud of their 40 children who do not identify with their sex at birth.
Yeah, I try not to think of Brighton, to be honest.
Yeah, no one does.
Although this was a horrific story at the time.
They're just like, yeah, just 40 kids at the school are trans and non-binary, trust me.
It's normal.
40 were trans, 36 were gender-fluent.
Oh, oh.
So it's even more extreme.
So 76 of them have gender confusion of some sort.
That was in 2018.
It's been four years.
And because this totally isn't a social trend, it's instead totally natural.
If you go to the next one, we can see how this has continued to explode.
There should be another one in there, John, another Daily Mail article if you can look it up.
But apparently nearly one in every 15 pupils at a leading secondary school now identify as trans or non-binary, with the majority declaring their gender change after the lockdown last summer, which is also very convenient.
That's really good.
That's reporting.
Two days ago, a teacher said the pupils involved were between the ages of 11 and 18.
Staff were blundering in the dark without government guidance.
Yeah, they're not.
End of story.
Almost all of the girls in the school identified as non-binary.
Really?
A lot of tomboys.
That's amazing.
Like, again, the TERFs are like, well, they're trying to abolish women.
Well, I mean, they're getting there.
If none of the girls identify as, you know, are going to become women, then yeah, you actually are at that point.
I love that, though, because there's a criticism which is just erasing the tomboys.
But it's like, they're not even happy with all the girls not existing instead of just being tomboys.
No, they can't even be that.
They have to be non-binary.
I love the meme of that in Spanish.
How do you say non-binary in Spanish?
Non-binary or non-binary.
Exactly.
Depends on the gender.
There's no third option, funny enough.
But they are actually right.
It's like, because if, I don't know, it's a third of the girls, then that's a third fewer women that will be produced by this school.
Thanos snap.
Yeah, it literally is!
It's amazing!
According to a statement from one of the teachers, few want to take puberty blockers and undergo gender reassignment surgery, which the teacher believes demonstrates the phenomenon is more about perception rather than reality.
Yeah, no kidding.
They claim to believe.
However, talking about something else, which is totally reversible, bro.
Remember all this?
Remember we could take puberty blockers?
It would be fine.
Might as well just pop them for fun.
Yeah.
Don't do any damage.
Here we go.
Here's some evidence from NHS England who say this is not only all bunk, but obviously the use of it is also bunk.
The assessment of the evidence into drugs was commissioned by NHS England.
The evidence using puberty blocking drugs to treat young people struggling with their gender identity is, quote, very low, according to the official review.
Shock and surprise.
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence said the existing studies on the drugs were small and subject to bias and confounding.
Wow, I can't believe that these studies done by activist scientists have come out with utterly biased and misleading results.
There we have it.
I mean, this is one of the few institutions in the UK that we can at least rely upon to give us the facts as well in regards to just, does this work?
I will give it that in the medicine realm.
And there you have it.
There's the whole hard science of...
Yeah, you remember all of that?
Remember all of that conversation we've had for years about Tavistock making puberty blocks to kids?
It was all based on nothing.
It was all based on just pure speculation and bias from the activist scientists, if you say.
And if we move forward, there is actually some good news on this.
You know what we can call activist scientists?
There's actually a name for an activist scientist.
An alchemist.
Someone who has a goal in mind.
They're going to make gold.
Yes, they're going to turn lead into gold.
They certainly tried.
Well, ended up with a lot of lumps of...
No, I can't make that.
Yeah, that's not...
We have this one here.
We have some good news.
We have Savage Javid saying here that he's actually reviewing the gender treatment for children in its entirety.
Okay, but that should be done by later that afternoon.
I also love how he's just been to lunch for the last couple of years by the looks of it.
He is now thought to be planning an overhaul of the Gender Identity Development Service, which is run by Tavistock with clinics in Leeds.
I love how he just goes on to say, like, oh, he thinks there's something going wrong here.
As you see, this week, Mr.
Jarvis told the press that the services in the area were too affirmative and narrow.
And bordering on ideological.
Bordering?
Oh, they're just bordering on the ideological, are they, Sajid?
Right, okay, well, at least you're...
Baby steps.
Baby steps.
He thinks something might be going on.
He's not sure.
They're only turning children into eunuchs, Sajid.
Don't hurry.
Take your time.
You know, you've got the evidence where your own clinics are like, well, look, there's basically no evidence for any of this, and it appears to be totally nonsense.
But take your time, Sajid.
I just love NHS England are telling you it's all bias and confounding, and he's like, I think there's something going on.
I'm not sure.
The adventures of the man who just started paying attention.
We're going to the next one.
We have Nadine Doris as well coming out and saying that women are women, not allowed to compete in sport, so that's all good.
If we move forward on this, we can see another story here which I found interesting, which is Doctor Who.
I thought I'd talk about because I just have a personal pet hatred of what they've done.
Did you like Doctor Who?
I did.
My wife used to love Doctor Who.
But it used to get 90s and 80% reviews on everything.
As soon as they made a female doctor, she was like, I'm never watching this again.
Dr.
Karen.
And this is the newest iteration of them just rubbing it in your face.
And I know you enjoy this, because you're on the very much accelerationist path of, like, just rub it in the public's face.
Go for it.
Make it as bad as it can be.
So I thought you'd enjoy this one, which is, we have a statement of a new spin-off that they're creating, an audio podcast, which I had the unfortunate chance to listen to earlier.
And the author says, it was important to me to see the lead character being trans.
Transgender writer reveals Doctor Who spin-off podcasts has a cast completely led by queer women and will explore LGBTQ stories.
I mean, could you get any more just insultingly on the nose?
No.
We're not even gonna try.
Juno Dawson, 40, who lives in Brighton, I'm shook, explained that Doctor Who, redacted, which begun on BBC Sounds on the 17th of April, is the first time that the fictional universe has had a cast that is completely led by queer women.
Probably going to be the last time, too.
I'll keep funding that until the license fee gets pulled.
I think it's completely ideological, obviously.
What other cultural institutions can they bastardize?
James Bond.
I want a black, queer, disabled, lesbian, non-binary immigrant, James Bond.
Me too.
She said, it's important to me that every person who comes for Doctor Who brings their own little identity, said the writer.
No, that's not how media works.
She's literally just saying, I'm putting myself in the story.
It's fan fiction then, is what that is.
And of course, as a transgender woman myself, it's very important to me to see the lead character being trans as well, because I can't not insert myself into the work directly.
It's completely destroyed the illusion of a micro-universe that has been created from this art.
Go watch my politics, or listen to my politics 40k deep thing to find out what that means.
I listened to an hour of this thing as well.
I love it.
It starts off with Dr.
Karen, even.
So the woman doctor saying that she's being erased and all of her friends are being erased.
And it's just like, oh, that's very interesting.
That's also very true.
It then goes on to waste an hour of your life, so don't bother.
But it is painfully queer.
The characters have the most stereotypical voices and keep saying things like, yes!
It's horrible.
Californication of it.
Yeah, and if we continue, I just also wanted to talk about just Doctor Who for a minute because also the friggin' state of it.
Like, I love this.
I love Nerd Erotic.
Just does it all the time.
I just look at this.
Season 11.
I just consistently, the critics are like 90%.
Fantastic.
It's very progressive.
20% review there for the audience who had to listen with that.
And season 12 was also very consistent.
I'm sorry, but like, 16%.
Used to get 90% consistently good reviews, and this is what they've done to it.
They've done to an industry here.
And apparently they're going to go even further.
Presumably the next Doctor will be a transgender immigrant of colour.
I don't know.
I hope so.
Anyway, that's the invention of the toilet.
It's another progressive invention.
They've invented the family and whatnot before, but now they've gotten real far.
And also they've continued insanity.
Sorry, John?
I don't understand.
That's weird.
Okay.
We'll save that for another time, I suppose.
Yeah, never mind.
Anyway, let's talk about something that's really jolly.
Really jolly.
So, mass shootings, I think, are the product of a dying society.
Now, that's not the product of a dying civilization, necessarily, but what it implies, I think, is alienation from the civilization.
So, I'm going to frame this around Beau's article, Lies by Omission, and the important part here is that the lies by omission are the most powerful tool of the media, because what they'll do is tell you part of the truth, And they'll keep hidden the important contextual information that you would use to properly situate this within your existing web of beliefs.
And this is why a lie by omission is way more dangerous than just a flat-out lie.
Because a flat-out lie can just be contradicted.
Whereas a lie by mission always has an aspect of truth to it.
And a lot of people I've noticed have been saying things like, well, the media is just not covering mass shootings.
They're lying by mission.
And I understand why they think that that's the case.
And in certain cases, that is absolutely true.
When you have a particular ideological shooter who fits a particular demographic that the media can't in any way bear to have a negative portrayal of.
And so there are definitely lies by mission in many ways that the media cover the mass shootings.
But again, I think it's actually one of the problems that you have is not so much that the media are embarrassed, the fact that there was a black shooter or a Hispanic shooter or something like that, because their narrative, of course, the shooters are all white, straight white young men.
It's like, no, that's not true.
I think really, though, the problem is the frequency of them.
There is a cavalcade of these shootings.
So let's just talk about the shootings in April 2022.
This month's mass shootings in America.
I didn't know there were...
Yeah, right?
You say it like it's an award show.
Well, I didn't realize there were quite as many as there are.
And so it's...
And there are people always like, well, look at that.
Another mass shooting just swept under the rug.
Kind of, but it's just like, well, there is another one and another one and another one.
And, you know, how do you keep up with all of these?
So this was on the 4th of April, where 18 people were injured and 6 killed in Sacramento, California.
Police have no suspects in custody.
Don't know anything about them.
What community do you reckon they were from?
Jewish?
Possibly.
Well, no, it turns out it was gang violence.
Jewish gangs?
Nope, not this time.
Go to the next one.
They thought there were five gunmen involved.
I'm imagining really gangster Israelis now.
I don't know.
Yeah, but gang violence is a euphemism for black people shooting black people.
It could be Hispanic as well.
It could be, but it's not.
They say, oh, five shooters, and there were two groups, there was an exchange of gunfire between the two groups, and they declined to elaborate on the gang affiliation of those involved.
They had no information on potential retaliatory violence.
As in, that's enough of that.
Not our problem.
Well, streets are cleaning themselves?
Attitude?
I don't know.
Like...
Well, I'm more thinking this is the Heinleinian degeneration into ultraviolence on the streets that's going to cause the complete collapse of society, actually.
I think Heinlein was right about that.
Moral habits are not innate, and they are instilled by discipline, just so you know.
And there are, of course, videos on social media that showed altercations before the shooting, and you could see who the people having the altercation were, which community it was.
And so the police are just like, well, I don't know what we can do about this, and we're not going to try.
And so this is the question, isn't it?
What can be done about the mass shootings?
For example, in response to this, you get articles like this from the Sacramento Bee.
It's like, well, California is the toughest U.S. gun laws.
After the shooting, what else can they do?
It's like, I don't know.
What else can you do?
What else can you do?
I mean, you legalized theft in California.
There's nothing more you can do.
There's literally nothing.
I mean, all gun crime comes from the gun laws.
So we've made the guns legal and everyone's still shooting each other.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm surprised they're not just quoting Homer at us, to be honest.
The blade itself incites to violence.
It's like, yeah, but it doesn't, actually.
You know, there's, like, it's not just the existence of guns that makes people kill each other.
That's just like, if you ever thought about that for a minute, like, everyone in the country owns knives.
And yet, we don't stab each other on a regular basis just because, like, it's only certain areas of the country, well, London, where you get stabbed on a regular basis.
Yeah.
In gang wars, incidentally, because they don't have guns.
I mean, a lot of them are getting guns because they get guns legally.
But I mean, look at the framing here.
They've banned high-capacity magazines and cracked down assault weapons.
They've made it so Californians have to pass a background check to purchase a gun or ammunition.
They've prohibited buyers from having ammo or ghost gun parts shipped directly to their homes.
What more can you do?
Yeah, you can't do anything more.
Like, the scourge of gun violence continues to be a crisis in our country, says American psycho actor Gavin Newsom.
Sorry, no, Governor of California.
We must bring an end to this.
This isn't about the guns, man.
This is not about the guns.
This is about the people holding the guns and why they wanted to kill each other.
Anyway, let's move on.
April the 10th in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Just two killed, ten injured during a nightclub shooting.
Bunch of people hanging outside a nightclub.
There's an altercation of some sort and suddenly a bunch of people get shot, two killed.
This also wasn't from Ezekiel and Zalman?
No?
It is unclear what led to the shooting.
Police did not release information on whether the gunman was in custody.
They released information on the gunman?
Eh.
Could be an Indian.
Could be.
Could be.
Anyway, let's move forward to two days later.
April the 12th.
Where have you got the Brooklyn subway shooting?
Again, this is one of those ones where it's like...
Have I got the wrong one?
Oh no, sorry, this is the Chicago shooting on April the 10th.
Sorry, on the same day.
We'll get to the next start.
Yeah, well, it was the same date.
It was on the same damn day.
Right, so this was in Chicago.
But, I mean, to be fair, mass shootings in Chicago are actually not very newsworthy in and of themselves.
Like, in any given weekend in Chicago, like, 20 people will die.
It'll be shot.
It's just like, oh, there's another outbreak of cool demons killing everyone.
We will have to do one specifically on Chicago, just so you can see how many people each weekend get shot in Chicago.
This is not remarkable in any way, shape, or form.
My favourite statistic.
More Americans are killed in Chicago every year than were in two years in Afghanistan under Trump.
Yeah.
Two men were killed, four others were wounded during a shooting, during a gathering.
So people hanging out.
Who knows what the people involved were like here.
This, again, happened at 2am.
Sasha Johnson, Sal.
She's got this image in my head of all these guys in tuxedos and brandy in their hands just going, well, am I going to shoot?
I don't know.
Yeah, I'm just thinking about it.
They're having a gathering?
They're having a get-together?
Oh, I have to go down there and crash that.
Anyway, moving on to the 12th of April in Brooklyn.
This was the one that actually made the news because it affected people outside of a certain community.
Uh, this was, uh, a chap who was wearing green construction vest and he'd pulled out like, you know, smoke canisters and began firing indiscriminately on the train.
Thankfully didn't kill anyone.
Uh, 10 people, uh, 16 people, I think it was shot.
Uh, some in critical, but stable condition.
This was the one where there were no working cameras on the subway.
Looks sus, especially after the Epstein events.
However, it looks like this, again, I don't know why I'm disabusing so many conspiracy theories today, but again, I just don't think this is a conspiracy.
I think this is incompetence in a collapsing society.
No one's bothered fixing the damn cameras.
They don't care.
I wouldn't be surprised if none of them work.
Yeah.
Or just for show.
Yeah, maybe.
If they fired the guy who watches the cameras.
It's probably cheaper just to have, you know, by the outer packaging of a camera.
I'm not going to bother plugging it all in.
It costs money.
You know, I don't care about any of these people.
No one cares about any of these people.
They don't care about each other.
That's the thing.
No one knows each other.
Like, no one cares.
No one has a reason to be emotionally invested.
So they'll do the bare minimum as they are contracted to do.
And so who did this guy turn out to be?
Well, Frank R. James.
What?
It's awful out there, Murray.
People are awful to each other, Murray.
It's true.
Yeah.
There's a reason why Joker resonated, right?
It's absolutely true.
So this was a chap called Frank R. James, who was an insane black nationalist segregationist, full-on critical race theorist.
If he had had any kind of education, he'd agree with everything they said.
He's 62, right?
And his social media rants, he had a YouTube channel and everything, reveal a man consumed with hatred of white people and convinced of a looming race war.
Well, yeah, if you're going to start it...
The race war is coming and I'm going to be the one to do it, says the chap.
Oh, black Jesus, please kill all the whiteys.
Does that imply that Jesus was white, but then there's black Jesus who was another guy?
Oh, God only knows what the bloody Hebrew Israelites really think about Jesus.
Oh, that's why it's so funny.
But he apparently was not complimentary about any race.
He hated Hispanics, Asians, and his fellow blacks, yeah.
Well, I saw a video of him going on about blacks and how they're, like, stupid for hanging out with the whites.
And it's like, okay.
They need segregation.
They should never have...
Never should have mixed.
That's true of the Klan or the Neonauts as well.
They'll hate white people.
Oh, yeah.
And he's just the other side of that coin.
And so, obviously, he goes on his...
He's got a weird smirk on his face.
Yes.
He goes on his rampage.
I'm getting Joker vibes as well again, though.
And as New York posted one of the few outlets that will actually go to the trouble of actually reporting this stuff in detail.
But they view him as being psychologically possessed, ideologically possessed, sorry.
And I think that they're right.
Anyway, let's move on.
17th of April.
Almost through halfway point of the month at this point.
Yeah.
Pittsburgh Airbnb shooting, where 90 rounds were sprayed in and around this Airbnb, according to the police.
At the time of the reporting on this, there were no suspects, arrests, or possible motive.
Airbnb did ban the guy who had hosted the party, though, promoting any more parties, because two 17-year-olds were shot and killed.
It's like, you can't have under-18s.
That was the important part.
Yeah.
Really got the priorities straight here.
But a lot of people are asking the city what we can do, and no one has any answers.
No one knows what to do.
Because the problem is an intangible problem.
It's that people have so little care for one another, all they can do is exist in a state of neutrality until there is a reason to hate each other.
No one cares about each other.
No one likes each other.
Moving on.
April 17th.
Again, same day in fact.
In South Carolina, mass shooting in Furman left nine people injured, thankfully none dead, but this was an Easter bash where the shots rang out.
There were people inside and outside the lounge when the shooting started, and people had to flee, basically, obviously.
And three men have been arrested if you get the next one in connection with this.
Good.
But what are you going to do?
And so, this, I think, is really interesting, where, like, I'm just going through a bunch of them, but CNN have done an article on this, where there were at least ten shootings on Easter weekend in America, mass shootings.
Ten.
On Easter?
Yeah, on Easter.
Yeah.
Well, Ramadan as well.
It's a good point, John.
Sure, but Muslims are like 1% of America's population.
This isn't a Muslim problem.
No, this one isn't.
But throughout the rest of the world, there was Ramadan celebrations.
Sure, the Ramadan bombathon always carries on every year.
But again, this is just madness.
Ten shootings, right?
What do you think the experts think?
To call in an expert, we need this expert's opinion, right?
Easy access to guns is considered by experts to be the root cause of gun violence.
That's right, people just wouldn't hate each other and want to shoot each other if guns didn't exist.
That's why the history of mankind is peace and love right up until around the 14th, 15th centuries when gunpowder was invented.
Definitely no crusades before then or anything like that.
Yeah, but this is about, you know, not about wars.
It's about killing civilians.
But no, not killing civilians.
It's about killing each other.
Well, yeah, but like other people who are just innocent people walking around, right?
And you don't have this kind of thing until, well, quite recently in American history, it seems.
Yeah.
This is definitely a pathology of the modern era, right?
Americans have had guns forever, but they're not just killing each other left, right, and center.
Exactly.
Why weren't they always going, oh, it must be high-capacity magazines.
Well, why is it then California has banned that and they don't have it?
Still got the guns.
Yeah, still got the problem.
Like, they got rid of the magazines, still got the problem.
Yep.
But they say, like, you know, and this is good framing, actually, by CNN. Open carry states lower the barrier for people to own and carry guns in public.
But the spike in violence across America since summer 2020 has been general across cities and states with lax and strict gun laws, with progressive and conservative prosecutors, with Republican and Democrat mayors and governors.
So it's not the access to guns then, is it?
So people who have hard time getting guns and people who have an easy time getting guns, they're both experiencing the same sort of spike in violence.
Well, that's not the guns.
Something else is the problem here.
Anyway, let's carry on.
23rd of April in Washington, D.C. So there was a shooting in Washington, D.C. Active threat running around.
Victims included two adults, a male and a female, and one juvenile female, I think which was six, or maybe twelve in this one.
Again, it's hard to know because it's just like, well, in one of them, there's a six-year-old.
And the thing is, it's also another thing.
It's difficult.
You've got to be very specific with your searching because often you get mass shootings in the same places.
And so it's just like, right, was this the one from this month or last month or, you know, two months ago?
Like, it's...
Anyway.
So, anyway, so the gunman for this one had posted online.
4chan user.
If you can scroll down a bit, John.
He's a basket-weaving enthusiast.
Yeah, no, no, let's have a look at the picture, right?
Seems to be a 4chan white nationalist.
Is he Malaysian?
Looks like that, yeah.
It's just the joke that 4chan is a Malaysian basket weaving for him.
It pretty much is, yeah.
He got sick of basket weaving, apparently.
Yeah.
Weaving swastikas into baskets and then goes on a rampage.
Raymond Spencer, this was, right?
Goes on a shooting rampage and in the middle of it, he updates the Wikipedia page for the Edmund Burke school he is doing the rampage at.
How mad is that?
What does he update it with?
Do you even know?
He wrote, a gunman shot of the school on 22nd April 2022.
The suspect is still at large.
It's mad, isn't it?
I thought he was going to be like, you used to have 30 teachers, 28.
And then he goes back.
Well, that's pretty much what he's doing, right?
He also posted other stuff to 4chan, a video of himself doing it, and posted, like, waiting for the police to catch up with me.
Dear God, please forgive me.
It's like, why did you do it?
What made you think this was a good idea?
Like with the gang shootings, at least it's more understandable.
It's like you're in a paradigm where it's like, we hate those guys over there.
Oh, they flipped us off.
We know they're hanging out over there.
Right, let's go shoot them.
Okay, understandable.
But like in this, what the hell are you doing?
What are you doing?
You autist!
Get off of the internet!
He slid me off, kills him, Carl in the corner, understandable, have a good day.
I'm not saying it's good, but like...
At least it makes sense from your own paradigm.
This is our turf, that's your turf.
But like this, it's just like, well, I just kind of wanted to go shoot up a school.
And there's a picture from his, like the police raid his home, of course, and look at his wall.
Yacoub.
Like, get off of the internet, for the love of God!
It's not funny, but like, oh, it's ridiculous.
And there are going to be people like, well, because you're right-wing, meh-meh-meh-meh-meh.
Is this guy right-wing or is he just a lunatic?
Was the black nationalist right-wing?
Maybe.
Maybe black nationalism was right-wing.
But the thing is...
Either way, the Malaysian basket-wing forum enthusiast certainly isn't a white nationalist.
They do say that you've got multiracial whiteness now.
Yeah, I suppose all of Asia is white.
But anyway, so just to round this off, just to say that, look, there are going to be people who see this as right-wing ideology.
It's like, well, what about when a left-winger goes on a mass shooting?
Is that right-wing ideology as well?
Like the transgender shooters.
There have been at least three transgender shooters.
Let's go for the most recent one.
Which was in 2019, I think it was, and they went to trial in 2021.
And this, of course, was Devin Michael Erickson.
Not sure if they're being dead named there.
And Maya McKinney shot a student dead and wounded eight others when they opened fire in their classroom in Highlands Ranch, while their classmates were watching The Princess Bride.
It was a great film.
But McKinney told the police while in custody that it targeted three students who bullied him for being transgender, but also that he wanted to make every student suffer like he had.
So again, a wider attack on society.
This comes from every perspective.
So, excluding the gang shootings, we have a repeated pattern of events.
Again, the gang shootings, not justified, of course, but understandable with their own internal logic, right?
Not justified, but I understand why they're happening.
It's this kind of degeneration of this community into merely violent war.
But that's not what this is.
That's not what the other one is.
That's not what the black nationalist is.
What this is is people who have been radicalized in enclaves on the internet to become so different and unrecognizable to the wider society with which they have no connection.
They don't know any of the people that they're running around shooting.
And so this is the product of essentially the social contract society where people are totally free to do and be whatever they want.
It's like, yeah, but people will be stupid and crazy things.
Like, they'll chop off their genitals, or they'll be Malaysian white nationalists.
You chop off your genitals and they'll be like, people should suffer as I have.
Yeah, exactly.
Or they'll be, you know, like, rabid black supremacists.
Like, they don't care about the people with whom they live, like, shoulder to shoulder, cheek to jowl.
Well, less and less in common.
Exactly.
Less and less in common.
And because all of their mental activity is spent on these virtual spaces where they're nowhere near the people who are actually local to them.
And then they find themselves becoming resentful against the just faceless masses.
They're like, yeah, no, screw society.
And they pull a joker and decide to go on a rampage.
And it's like, okay.
So this is something that I think is not going to stop.
Well, that was a white pill.
Yeah.
We're going to move on to the video comments.
I think one of my favorite stories was when King Farouk drove up to the headquarters of the British in Cairo to harangue their local commander shortly before the Egyptian coup, and he was getting sandbagged by the guards at the checkpoints.
The guards call the commander's secretary and tell him, so, sir, there's two WAPs in a car out here to see you.
The chauffeur takes really badly to tell them, you will not refer to King Faroop the First as a WAP. Okay, gotcha.
So, sir, there's King Faroop the First is here to see you, and there's another WAP who's a chauffeur.
I like how literally that person's taken that.
Yeah, I also love the fact that King Farouk is like, well, I may be Turkish, but I'm not an Arab.
Sorry, Italian.
Well, it's also just a cool fact about King Farouk.
Once he lost the throne in the coup, it was the first time in, what, 2,000 years Egypt had been ruled by Egyptians.
Oh, really?
It's just a neat fact.
It's like, god damn, he was the last foreign king, or at least for now.
No, it was probably more than that, actually, because Alexander the Great conquered it in 330-odd BC. Yeah, so it's probably more like 3,000 years or something like that.
I can't remember the number, but it was some thousands of years since Egypt had been ran by Egyptians.
If it helps, it's been more than a thousand years since England's been run by the English.
Bloody Germans.
Bloody Normans.
Go to the next one.
I am just amused to no end by the fact that Italians and Irish keep getting brought up on the podcast.
Because every time they do, it's just like, oh, that's my family.
My mom's side is entirely Italian, and my dad's side is mostly Irish-descended American.
So just every time Callum is like, do they really do that?
Yeah, yes, they do.
Is that like, yeah, it's an Italian thing, not an Anglo thing.
Goddammit.
Catholics, man.
What, are you talking about sexual assault?
No, just generally, the way they behave.
What?
Socially.
I assumed he was referring to the fact that, what was it, Quobo, who was like, well, you know, I'm asexually assault women, but I'm Italian.
Yeah, exactly.
He's like, well, it's just, you know, being Italian.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, I'm done.
Something of a disability.
I'm sorry to hear about it.
I hope you get better soon.
It's been thousands of years, isn't it?
Let's go to the next one.
And now a message from my youngest brother.
Hello, this is footage of me, some of my friends, and the Canadian Sparky sword fighting.
And as you can see, he was very fast.
I could not get close to him.
It was very intimidating.
And luckily, I didn't get hit in the face like that guy did.
That's right.
Take no prisoners, mate.
Whack them straight in the face.
That looks fun, though.
Why are you always doing one on everyone, though, I wonder?
Yeah.
Maybe he's just the best.
Anyway.
Cool.
Enjoy it.
Hey, guys.
I'm on the tail end of a COVID infection, as you can probably hear in my voice.
It wasn't actually that bad.
It didn't feel any worse than the colds I used to get when I was fat.
There's been talk of arguments against electric cars.
Well, here's a really good argument against electric cars that are fully connected to the internet.
What's to stop Tesla from ending up like Apple or YouTube or Google or Twitter?
Nothing.
They literally have the ability to turn your car off or stop you starting the engine if they don't want you to do it.
So, it's a good argument.
I hope Elon doesn't go mad.
Yeah.
I was thinking about that because you know how some of the world is still kind of mad and I think a lot of Australia still lives in regards to COVID. I was reading some North Korean news on the pandemic and what was funny is because it reminded me just how insane that whole period was because for us this is kind of in the past now.
Yes.
And the North Koreans were reporting to their own people that oh the global health situation is getting worse and worse by the day.
This was like a week ago they're saying this.
And they're saying that there's a new variant out, and it's the stealth variant.
And everyone who's vaccinated is also not safe from the stealth variant, and we must be more vigilant than ever.
A virus so dangerous, you don't even know you've got it.
Yeah, but I found it interesting that the totalitarian state is using this in its paper to scare its public, and we would all laugh at that.
Oh, imagine.
Imagine a totalitarian state.
And insane, and clearly just fear-mongering.
And yet we all went through it, and it's just interesting to see and go and check.
It's basically a temporary holiday to North Korea for us, isn't it?
Well, they're still living there.
They're still living as we were.
Except hungrier.
Go to the next one.
YouTuber Diodes Gone Wild is a Czech fellow who does fascinating teardowns, analysis and repairs on a variety of high-voltage and high-power electronics.
In this video, he tears down and repairs an old Soviet alarm clock made in 1982.
Through all he finds, the most shocking, at least to me, was this analysis of the markings.
The price is permanently carved on the rear, which indicates the folly of command economies.
And the price of it was 45 rubles.
How much you can buy for 45 rubles nowadays?
Half a pound.
Is it 50p?
Yeah, although if it's Soviet, then it may have been a little bit different, but it's still God.
I think it's fascinating that they carved the price on it.
Strange.
That's very interesting.
That actually sounds like a great channel as well.
The sort of thing I just enjoy watching is just taking stuff apart.
Thanks.
Let's go to the next one.
I just need guns on that.
In fact, don't do that.
I feel like it's staring at me.
Yeah.
I'm putting it on.
Sure.
Just don't.
Just don't.
Yeah.
I feel like it's the worst system for that ever.
Because of how slow you move.
Well, I mean, I don't know if he puts tracks on it or something and gets a bit of speed on.
How are you going to update the Wikipedia page as you do it?
Heads up display, I suppose.
Please don't.
Let's get to the next one.
Danny D and Little Joan with another legend of the pines.
From Consul and Associates comes the five haunted roads in New Jersey.
And number four is Mount Misery Road in Pemberton.
According to the legend, you'll be driving down the road and suddenly end up going in a circle until you run out of gas.
There are so many urban legends and ghosts and ghost towns in South Jersey that Consul Associates, an accident injury lawyer law firm, will post about it on its blog.
No word yet on if they've sued any of the ghosts.
Looking forward to when they do.
Sorry, I don't even get that one.
The ghost convinces you that you're driving somewhere, but you're driving in circles, and then you run out of gas and get stranded.
Yeah.
The ghost is there to inconvenience you all the time.
Aha, now you have to walk three miles to get gas.
I suppose it's better than trying to kill you, so.
Yeah.
Well, that's what the Jersey Devil is.
It's probably working with the Jersey Devil, man.
All the pubs are haunted.
All the houses are haunted.
Even the roads are haunted.
The roads are haunted.
The beach is apparently haunted with their weird ghost fortifications they've built.
Yeah.
Is there any way there's not?
Move to space.
There's no ghosts in space.
Robbed them by capitalism.
Has anyone died in space?
Yeah, there must have been people who died in space.
Ghosts in space, then.
Astronaut ghosts.
Because they all kind of, like, you know.
It wasn't peaceful.
I suppose it's even worse.
Yeah, definitely a ghost.
Someone messaged me the other day telling me about the first crime in space ever as well.
It's a woman.
And she was in the International Space Station and apparently seemed to get freaked out.
So she started drilling a hole in the space station.
To space?
Why?
Who knows?
Woman moment?
What are we talking about?
Like, what are you doing, love?
It didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Apparently, the Americans gave some spiel about why she did it.
It doesn't make any sense.
And the Russians are like, no, she's clearly just mad.
Anyway.
The Russians are like, this is what Universal Suffrage did.
It's like, we also paid for this space station.
Mine is yours, but 50% please.
Let's go to the next one.
Isn't it a possibility that when the teachers are kind of forcing communism on the children that they will actually revolt and become super-conservatives or something?
Children don't like to be told things.
Possibly, but I am not very optimistic about that, because...
The problem is the framing that the children are presented with.
Children are not very good at challenging framing, and so persuading a child that something is true is very easy.
Getting them to do something is harder, but once they're in this particular frame, I think it becomes difficult for them to understand why that frame is not a good thing.
So I'm not very optimistic.
Anyway, Baron Von Warhawk says, Come on, Carla, ain't it a socialist revolution without the starvation?
I'm not saying that we're not going to starve.
I'm just saying that I don't think this is necessarily a part of the vegan jihadi conspiracy.
Justin says, Surely the vegans would use the cry, Avocado Akbar.
Right, that's a terrible joke.
Edward says...
Edward says...
Just because it begins with an A, that's enough.
It's got the same sort of syllables and alliteration.
What's the levels?
Oh, yeah.
Edward says, you know what is particularly egregious about this?
The price of meat will rise and at some point it will be too expensive for the working man to afford.
Instead, you get plant-based meals or bug-based, I suppose, while the wealthy elite will still be able to enjoy it.
Meat for me and not for thee.
The reason beef comes from both and mutton from Mouton indicates how once upon a time meat was only the privilege of the feudal elite and it will be again, despite the vaunted appeals to equality.
You will not eat meat for the good of the whole.
Yeah, and notice how, one thing I find fascinating about the French words that have been brought in, French words for meat that were brought into the English lexicon, is that always the meat at the receiving end as well.
Cow, pig, sheep, obvious Anglo-Saxon words.
You know, beef.
That live with the animal.
Yeah, exactly.
Beef, pork, and mutton, obviously the Norman words.
What is it in German?
Is it a coufleisch or something for beef?
I don't know.
Oh, probably, yeah.
Calfleisch, yeah.
Probably something like that.
Rindfleisch, yeah.
Rindfleisch.
Yeah.
You can see that it's obviously a product of the Norman aristocracy.
It's been a thousand years since England's had an Anglo-Saxon king, just so you know.
Need to start thinking about that.
We're going to be inspired by the Egyptian Who.
Yeah, well, if they can do it.
We need a General Nasser of our own.
Who's good enough for the Egyptians?
So we are going to be taking Corbin Mickey's advice by the end of this.
We've got to find some generals.
We'll overthrow the aristocracy and return Anglo-Saxon rule to England.
Can we identify a descendant of Harold Godwinson?
Apart from the Queen, who's actually a descendant of Harold Godwinson?
The Egyptians didn't do that.
They just had the military in charge and then a series of other disappointments.
You've got to have lineal descent.
Or we could elect one, I suppose.
It's been a long time since we've elected a king, but it has happened before.
Kulain says, I would have guessed these fires were from Dome Eco-Terrorist Group, but as those groups are full of narcissists, they would have claimed credit by now.
Yeah, that's exactly the point.
And the reason I did the same was it's easy to think and fall into conspiracy thinking when it comes to this.
But actually, it's not a very large number of fires compared to the number of meat processing plants.
And it's not unusual that these things catch fire either.
You know, one of them is a plane crashed into it.
I mean, that's just an accident.
Well, I assume that's an accident.
Just like 9-11 was.
Yeah, well, I assume that's an accident.
Wasn't Klaus Schwab training World Economic Forum jihadis to fly planes into food processing plants to deprive us of meat so we can make us eat the boogs?
Al-Qaeda realized it's called Burgerland so we'll bomb the burgers.
Well, to be fair, right?
Are you going to bomb a cultural institution?
Something that resonates with the Americans.
It's like in Four Lions.
I don't want to die in a boots.
Yeah, why would you?
Well, you'd do the American embassies, wouldn't you?
The McDonald's.
Blow them up.
And suddenly America's stabbed in the heart.
Oh God.
Long talks on the niche says, imagine Trump saying to people, there's going to be food shortages and you're just going to have to deal with it.
They call him a bold faced authoritarian who's deliberately starving lower income Americans for his own personal gain.
And I'm inclined to hold Biden to that same standard.
Yeah.
Well, Biden has done this, Biden's policies are directly contributing to this.
And you're right.
I mean, just imagine under Trump, if he'd been like, yeah, food shortages are coming, shrugged his shoulders like Biden does.
It's like, well, hang on a second.
Isn't there something to talk about there?
Like, yeah, well, it would be under Trump, but under Biden, no, nothing important anymore.
M1Ping says, you don't actually need food to be clinically alive.
Fact checkers, probably.
Yes.
The fact checkers are like, oh, don't worry, I know that everything's going terrible, and the price of food's spiking, and the producers are producing less food, and, you know, the third world's about to starve, but food shortages won't come here.
Two meals a day campaign.
You only need two meals.
It very much reminds me of the coverage around the inflation.
Well, there's plenty of loads of money, but economists, experts think that this isn't going to cause inflation.
Why?
Why would they think that?
Anyway, Lee says, maybe the fire spread from all the churches that mysteriously keep catching fire too.
See, now that is a different story because, again, the processing plants, okay, they're full of chemicals that are flammable.
You know, okay, these things happen.
But churches aren't, you know, churches aren't full of flammable chemicals.
Plus, every time the police and fire service did turn up, they suspected foul play.
Yes.
Unlike in this case where they didn't.
Why not just go out and connect all the dots?
We can, for the fun of it, with these silly little conspiracy theories.
Cough, cough.
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
But that's the thing.
I don't want us to become conspiracists, no matter how much they call me a conspiracy theory.
Actually, not really in favour of them.
How much you believe Bigfoot is real and out there?
Yeah.
Waiting?
That's obviously true.
We'll do the follow-up on that podcast.
Okay.
Lee again says, Oh no, all the meat is gone.
Can I interest you in the books?
Yeah, well that's why, and it is definitely within this context that it's understandable why people would see this.
But E2Bs says, Whatever the reason, start right now securing some additions to your larder.
Watch Wartime Farm.
It's searchable and free.
Watch how the government steps into manic food production when a country has outsourced the majority of its production.
Get enough drying can for two weeks without refrigeration, powdered milk, canned meat and veg, etc.
Then fill your freezer or pantry with frozen and shelf-stable fruits and veggies and meat you can afford.
Learn how to cook and bake something basic over a camp flame.
Your first priority is calories.
The second is nutrition.
Buy cheap multivitamins in bulk and put away.
Best before dates are for sale purposes.
Watch how to make yogurt and butter at home online.
Make friends with a meat producer.
That's how he goes on.
Quite a lot.
It's good in terms of extreme levels where it's just like...
Literally go out into the woods and just live...
I mean, if it starts getting to the point where actually there is no food, Joe Biden is correct.
He's also assuming that we're going to have to run out of all electricity as well.
You have to use a literal open flame to burn stuff.
I don't know why I'm going to do that in my apartment, not getting into problems.
To be fair though, right, when I'm starving, like the landlord complaining that I'm using an open flame in my apartment...
I'll be worried about burning down where I live.
Sure.
You just have to do it on the street then, won't you?
A Lindsay says, do you guys want to talk about the government's incentives for British farmers to sell their farmland or stop using it?
There was a farm in Essex that used human waste fertilizer recently.
I think people would be shocked at the reality of the food system if they've really looked into these things.
I did not know about that, to be honest.
A student of history says, so either Harford doesn't meet processing sloth houses or food storage buildings, casually burned to the ground, or something very suspect has happened.
Honestly, I think it's actually that it's just these things happen.
Also, are they all lacking fire prevention systems?
No sprinklers, no internal water pumps, no security cameras?
Nope, just random fire, no foul play, move along citizen.
See, that's what I mean about the conspiratorial thinking.
Well, it could be that.
But as in every case, there's no evidence of foul play, and it's also like local areas as well.
If this was like, you know, an Amazon warehouse in New York or something, I'd be like, yeah, okay, a bit of sus.
But these are like, you know, country places where the people know each other.
They've worked there for their whole lives.
You know, these are not just like, it's not the same.
Free Will says, could the Animal Liberation Front type Antifa be rife with hardline animal rights extremists?
Possibly, but there's no proof of it, so I'm not going to assume there is.
Anyway, Silly Middon says, talking about the female toilets in London, taking aside the safety issues, going purely the state of men's public loos I've been in, I can understand why women would want segregated toilets.
Well, when I was like 18, 19, before I went to university, I had a job cleaning toilets.
And women are no more hygienic in the toilets than men.
Just so you know.
I know that men think that women must be clean when it comes to using toilets.
They're not.
I just imagine there's less piss on the floor.
Yeah, you'd imagine that, wouldn't you?
You'd imagine it.
Who wants to wade through puddles of urine to do what needs to be done?
Well, women do.
People are like, why are you a misogynist?
Well, I've had to clean women's toilets, okay?
Yeah.
The men's toilets were no breeze either.
But there was no particular...
In my head, I wanted it to be the opposite.
I wanted it to be that you had to go to the women's and it was disgusting.
You went to the men's and it was just completely clean after a week of usage.
No quantifiable difference, I would say.
White tiles?
What was remarkable is the amount of pee on the seats.
I just don't understand how women do it.
And then you get period blood.
Anyway.
M1Ping says...
There is no male penis in the women's washroom, and there is no graphite on the roof.
Harry G-Man says, regarding the toilet thing, these women are living in a hyper-reality, where they can both be in favour of mixed toilets and in the same breath opposed to them.
They both understand men and women are different, but can't make the leap to admit it openly mad.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly the point.
Like you were saying, she's like, well, I'm in favour of this, but I'm not in favour of this.
Exactly.
Strangest thing for the locals.
I want separate toilets, but I understand that men and women are basically the same and can be mixed.
Yeah, and I'm accepting.
I'm open-minded of this.
Yeah, but you're not, and you shouldn't be.
Why do you feel that you have to genuflect?
I mean, it's like the weird moments in the Maoist era where people are talking about how much of a communist they are, but they also support private ownership.
I'm a communist for you, but private ownership for me.
Well, it's not even that.
They were arguing for private ownership for everyone as a communist thing to do.
It was just because they were all starving.
They were like, look, we all kind of know if we keep going down this route, we're all going to actually die.
But we can't openly say that.
So we'll say it's for communism?
Real communism is private ownership.
Love it.
Longshank says, so guys, we did it.
We reached two different toilets.
The fact that we've taken this amount of time to reach this number is just ridiculous.
I'm just amazed.
Thank you guys.
You guys are awesome.
Adam says, so are the people of London finally starting to recognize that women exist and need their own spaces?
Next up, women only spoils.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, that's actually where we are.
Pete says, leftists on women's safety in the street.
Men need to be acutely aware that there are risks to women and should cross the road when a woman is coming.
Leftists on women's safety in public loos and sports.
Are you a biologist?
Great, good point.
Pirate Skeleton says, the trans identity seems to be the method by which privileged upper-class progressives can claim oppression status they are so desperately craving, besides the non-enabling, which is a good point.
I'm just going to have to reload this page.
I don't know why this happens.
So do you want to read a couple?
Where did you leave off?
Just the third segment.
Mass shootings are a product of dying society.
So Baron von Vorhock says, I've noticed that most of these shootings are happening in blue cities, but these places have always been cesspools of crime and violence.
The last time I was in Baltimore, I saw a white guy with so many heroin scars, his skin was peeling off his arms.
A black guy dropping his pants and having a massive S in the middle of the sidewalk.
Oh man, did you see Savannah Hernandez went to San Francisco recently?
And she's put up a bunch of videos of it and it's just like literally just heroin addicts like gnawing on the streets and just you know and it like these people are genuinely suffering and all I could think of was the Taliban like just dragging them into the barbers and shaving them and washing them and it's like Like, who looks good here?
Like, who looks like they're doing the right thing here?
The progressives, like Gavin Newsom, it's like, yeah, they need more heroin, because they're gurning and they're jonesing for heroin, or do we clean them up and get them jobs?
Well, even, you know, you imprison them for, like, the first month to try and get them off the addiction as well.
Yeah.
It's kind of ironic, though, of course, because the Taliban used to sell opium to fund it.
Sure, but then they got into power and they banned it.
So there it goes, I guess.
Oh, good for them, though.
So congratulations, Baltimore, for having equal representation of, well, terribleness, like one Warhawk says.
Spartan Lycurgus?
Lycurgus.
Lycurgus.
They're not ignoring the shootings.
They're waiting for a moment to strike.
Give it a bit, and as soon as some white guy does a solo mass shooting, they'll blast that one over the loudspeakers.
Yeah, they will.
And then bring those ones up as statistics to make it sound like there's an army of angry white wolves on the loose.
Yeah, okay, just come on.
That's actually a fair point.
Yeah, I know.
Because you always get it, oh, don't you know if mass shootings have hugely increased after a Syrian who's totally white, we swear, has gone up and done something...
Yeah.
I mean, there are obviously white people who do mass shootings, but it's remarkably inclusive and diverse, the constituency of mass shooters, unfortunately.
I still read articles talking about how that Syrian guy was targeting the Asian community, and this is evidence of white on Asian hate.
I mean, to this day, they still publish that he's white.
John says, it's almost like spending 50 years demoralizing the population was a bad thing.
Yeah, but also I think that mass immigration is a component of this.
So, well, I don't know who the hell these people are.
Like, no one knows.
You know, like I was saying to you before we started, I remember growing up and just going around the town in which my nan lived, walking to town with her, and she would literally every two seconds be saying good morning or hello and calling people by name that she knew.
It's like, you don't go on a mass shooting in society with a bunch of people you know.
You know, it's only when you just...
It's just a wall of people.
You can't recognize it.
Or name a single one.
It's like, right, this represents society.
I hate society.
Anyway.
Long chance again.
As Jack Sobiak pointed out, a sniper in Washington, D.C. took shots at seven people this week and no one noticed.
Not even right-leaning media seemed to pick up the story.
That's how suppressed this information gets.
And again, I don't even know if this is necessarily suppression.
I think it's just that it happens so regularly it's not even news anymore.
It's absolutely tragic.
Drew says...
Well, that's definitely true.
A lot of...
It's so true because I love the gun-free zone things, like colleges or whatever.
It's like an invitation.
But it's just so funny.
They're like, ah, no guns in here.
There's a sign.
I came here to kill people.
In fact, the sign is the reason I came here and not somewhere else.
I'm not in the shooting range, am I? No.
You know, like, it's so ridiculous.
Oh, God.
I mean, like, the legislators who came up with that as a rule and then started implementing it, I've got to have some kind of lukewarm IQ. I mean, no, no, no.
Think about it.
It comes from the middle-class managerial perspective, right?
Because they respect all the signs around.
Yeah, we'll just pop a sign.
Yeah.
Oh god, there's a sign there.
You can't do that.
Why?
The sign says so.
Oh, good point.
I don't know.
We better put up a sign so people don't go shooting around here.
I just got a cartoon in my head of some middle class legislator just being like, put up the sign and everything.
Well, that's exactly where they're at.
Anyway, Ben says, unfortunately, I grew up in the south side suburbs of Chicago.
When you grow up here, you know where it is okay and not okay to go, especially as a white person.
I've heard many stories of people from my church or something driving through Robins and getting shot at a stop sign.
Gun violence is never a surprise here.
Once I came to middle school and said, guys, did you hear about the shooting last night?
And my friend said, that happens all the time, and dismissed me.
On a vacation, the local news spent three days on one woman who was shot in the arm, but local news in Chicago hardly spends five minutes off on four or less dead.
It's sad how normalized this is to me.
Well, again, like, you would just be working overtime if you were trying to do a big thing on each shooting in Chicago.
Well, I imagine if you were Chicago News, like, you'd just end up having a desk in which a guy...
A number of shots per day.
Yeah, like a guy just writing it down.
I mean, he'd have, like, four stories a day.
Guaranteed work.
I saw a video the other day on Twitter of just someone driving through Chicago at night, just like in this one particular neighborhood.
It just sounds like a war zone.
You just hit shots off in the distance, somewhere over there, and then over there.
And this guy's just driving forward and holding his camera.
It's like, yeah.
I don't know how you can stand to live like that.
Kabul is actually safer right now.
Yeah.
Literally.
Callum says, I want to see a map mapping where all these mass shootings happen.
So I'd be very interested where the majorities of these incidents are taking place.
Well, like I showed you, the ones from this month, from all over the place.
Like, you know, Iowa, Alabama, California, New York, Chicago.
It's not just the normal places that you'd expect.
But then add on to that a layer of gun restriction laws.
Well, like I said, it's...
Two.
Two problems, really.
These extra factors I can name are going to point to a very conclusive convergence of evidence.
I don't doubt that the gun restriction laws make it more difficult for regular people to get hold of guns, but the gang members don't care.
They're just getting their guns from Mexico or something like that.
They don't care.
And the Hive City analogy stuff.
For a regular Hive, this is getting to these levels.
We are nowhere near Necromander or Nostromo.
Hassorlock rules.
Consider yourself told.
Snowdog says, May I say, Carl, the video on YouTube earlier, what millennials have stolen from the Zoomers, was brilliant and has made me understand so much what my kids are losing in our big tech generation with screens and speakers everywhere.
How should I tackle my children to wean them off the digital drugs they're so addicted to?
Do not let them have electronic devices.
I think that's the solution.
No phones, no internet access.
I mean, you know, I'm not saying don't have a console or something, you know, but let them play on it at the weekend or something like that, like I do with my kids.
You know, you can go on the Nintendo for an hour or two.
That's fine.
You know, that's not like being addicted to social media as a reward for cleaning their rooms or something like that.
But they should be forced to go outside to see their friends.
If you want to speak to your friends, we'll go around the house.
Go.
And if not, you can wait till you're in school.
Because on that note, we're out of time.
So if you want more from us, I mean, go and check out the video you just mentioned as well.
Yeah.
What the millennials have stolen from the Zoomers.
Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at one o'clock.
