*Music* Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 31st of May 2022.
I'm joined by Harry.
Hello!
And today we're going to be talking about why I just hate the US gun debate, the World Economic Forum's Plan B, if you want to eat ze bugs, then ze children will eat ze bugs, and also the Ricky Gervais salt mine.
So, let's get into it, so...
First of the mention is just, I hate the American gun debate.
I really can't stand it as an outsider looking in to them bicker with each other because it just doesn't really make any sense or seem worthwhile in what they're doing.
And I'll explain why I have this opinion.
But first, we also have the shill.
So mentioning here the article from you here, Harry, sorry, Britain's aversion to self-defence.
It's not my aversion to self-defence.
But yeah, essentially Britain has our own problems in that regard, of course.
We gave up our gun rights.
Yeah.
That's basically it.
And then it just snowballs from there.
So be warned, America.
Look to us for an example of what might happen.
And this is the message you get endlessly from outside the United States, and rightfully so, because it is a genuine problem.
And if we go to the next one here, we can see Bill O'Rourke, Texas, in his early debates, in which he openly said, Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15s.
That's a beautiful dislike ratio right there.
Wonder why YouTube had to hide the dislikes.
They really do hate the AR-15s, don't they?
Yeah, they're obsessed with them.
But if we go to the next one, I just...
I mean, this is all obviously in response to the latest mass shooting, and this is just true of all time.
With the United States, it's going to be another mass shooting that the media will jump on, and it'll either be because he's white, therefore it's a sample of white supremacy, or he's not white, therefore we need gun control, and that's the formula.
Simple as.
As you can see with the meme here, hmm, all these acts of violence make me wish I was less capable of defending myself.
Which is doubly true in this case with this meme, because if you scroll down, of course, this is in response to the fact that the cops stood around and didn't go in and get the gunman.
It did nothing except prevent the parents from saving their own children.
And if we get to the next link, we can see Elon Musk's response to all this, which is to recognise why the United States exists.
Fundamentally, the right to bear arms is an important safeguard against potential tyranny of the government, says Elon.
Just 100% true.
Absolutely.
I will say, I will say, Elon's come out saying that, but I have seen other tweets from him saying basically that there should be stricter gun regulations on like assault rifles and stuff like.
I know it's not an assault rifle, but things like AR-15s, he's come out saying that we need stronger regulations on that.
And so I do think he is a bit mixed on this because the moment you start to introduce stronger and stronger regulations, that's when the snowball effect starts to take place.
But it's a recognition of why the United States exists and what the purpose is for.
I mean, he's doing better than some.
Yeah, he goes on to say, historically maintaining their power over the people is why those in power did not allow public ownership of guns.
And, yeah, I mean, the Second Amendment basically is the United States, if we're being factual about it.
Which is, I've joked before, saying that the right to free speech in America is guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
Not because I don't know the First Amendment, but because that's where it is, really.
And that's the one that safeguards all the other rights.
Yeah, if you didn't have the second one, you wouldn't have the first one.
It's simple as, and everyone goddamn knows it.
I forget what it is.
Was it the massacre of Little Rock or Littlefoot or something, where they took out, like, 300 or so Native Americans in 1890?
That was predicated on the basis of the American government coming in and being like, don't worry, we're just going to confiscate your guns for your own good.
They took all the guns and they shot them all.
Well, that's true of all governments around the world that take guns.
But if we go to a specific example which relates to Americans and American citizens, this is one that I'm annoyed doesn't get talk about more, frankly, in relation to the U.S. gun debate, which is that you have the Battle of Athens here in 1946.
For people who don't know about this, this is amazing and also weirdly relevant.
The Battle of Athens was a rebellion led by citizens in Athens, Tennessee against the local government in August of 1946.
The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of predatory policing, police brutality, political corruption and voter intimidation.
A guy called Cantrell engaged in electoral fraud...
He did.
It's factual.
YouTube.
Not me.
Both by intimidating voters who voted against him and by allowing ineligible people to vote.
The US Department of Justice investigated these allegations of electoral fraud in three different elections but took no action.
He then, in the election in 1946, decided to just take the ballot boxes to the jailhouse.
So you can just stuff them in yourself?
It's just, these are mine now.
So the veterans who had come back from the war were like, yeah, you may have gotten away with this during the war, but now you're definitely not.
And they just shot the crap out of the jail until they surrendered.
And then the, what was it, I think it was the National Guard turned up and said, okay boys, let's deal with this.
And they did, and yes, he was engaging in fraud.
And then they redid the whole elections and all the non-partisan GI candidates won their seats.
What a surprise.
I mean, there you have it.
A box-standard version of, well, what is the Second Amendment for?
Well, okay.
Corrupt, tyrannical government rigging elections in Athens.
People fight back.
With guns.
If they didn't have the guns, then too bad.
It's too bad.
What are you going to do about it?
And they got the election overturned and things put correctly.
Yeah, if you want more information on that, actually, Count Dankula has a fantastic video going through it, so be sure to check that out.
It certainly does.
There's also a movie better, which is quite nice.
Oh, really?
Oh, nice.
This is why, if we go to the next one here, just an image, and I think you've missed a link here, John, if you can load it up, which is there should be an image here of Turtle Man, and it's not relevant to Turtle Man himself, but it's the fact that he's at an RA convention holding up a musket, and I must admit, there is something...
Very inspiring about the whole thing.
Can we get that up, John?
There we are.
Look at it.
I mean, that is the purpose of the United States.
And that's what the United States was founded on, right there.
Yeah, we have our own power to self-defense.
We are unique in this regard compared to the rest of the world, especially in the fact that, well, our country exists because of rebellion against the crown, which, uh, shame, but oh well, is what it is.
But that's the thing.
This is why I hate the debate and why I call it a debate, because it's not really a debate.
There is no debate about getting rid of the Second Amendment from serious people in American political discourse.
It's not a real thing in the sense of, if someone says they're going to get rid of the Second Amendment, everyone just thinks of them as insane.
And rightfully so.
Because they're just like, right, I want to abolish America.
Yeah, well, you're not part of the debate, folks.
I mean, for a long time, that has been the overriding plan, as far as I see it, to just abolish America as it stands, or stood.
Well, that's exactly what these people are essentially doing.
It's just the idea that if you get rid of the second moment, what does the United States become?
It becomes just like any other European country, frankly.
I mean, the same thing happened in the UK with the fact you had got rid of the guns, and then we have Tony Blair's reforms, which Europeanized us even more, to the point now that we're kind of a meme internationally.
1997, right before he was elected, there was a school shooting here, which a lot of ideologues over in America are pointing out, oh, there's a school shooting, and then what did England do?
We all handed over our guns and accepted all of these stricter gun regulations and stuff.
It's like, now there's not been a school shooting.
Well, do you know what would have prevented school shootings while also maintaining our rights?
Well, no, I believe the reforms in guns is about Hungerford, mostly in the UK. Well, there was Hungerford, but then there was also, I forget what it was, Dunbar, no, not Dunbar.
Anyway, irrelevant by point, which is just the fact that if you get rid of the Second Amendment in the United States, what do you end up with?
You end up with another European country, frankly.
But there's nothing really unique about the United States if it becomes a place which is not primarily about freedom.
And the freedom to self-defense is one of those things, which is the right to bear arms, of course.
I'm not going to go through it.
But it's just something you see throughout the Anglosphere, which is that most of the rest of the Anglosphere has gone down that European route of becoming one which is not obsessed with the freedom of the individual to defend themselves and bring up a world in their proper order, but instead obsessed with the freedom of the state.
To tyrannise you.
Yeah.
What else does the state do?
But anyway, I've also seen the argument, how many kids have to die before you ban guns, and I love the Carl mentioned earlier, you saw a meme that said, well, how many rapes have to happen before you cut your dick off?
It's just a stupid question.
Yep, it's just as dumb an argument.
Yeah.
If we go to the next one here, we also have just the news on all this, which is black and white.
That's not a pun, I just realised that.
As you can see here, there's an article that says, mass shootings are soaring, with black neighbourhoods hit hardest.
I don't have to read any more of this article.
You know what this means.
Let's be frank.
And that's the thing, which is mass shootings, whether they actually happen in schools, no.
So, what are you doing?
You're using the exemption to prove a rule that doesn't exist.
If we go to the next one, we then have a fact that, of course, the majority of mass shootings are all handguns.
Guess where?
I could give it a try.
That's not.
Which is why if we go to the next one, this is why I was most surprised by Joe Biden, which is just him taking on the issue as the leftists probably should, if they were being honest for once, head on.
Which is to say that I'm not an American, frankly.
Biden on 9mm ammo.
Second Amendment was never absolute.
I'm going to ban 9mm.
There's that bit at the end that says, shall not be infringed?
Sounds pretty absolute.
But also just all the way down to 9mm now.
Okay, let's play the clip.
He said a .22 caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out, maybe it'll save the life.
A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.
So the idea of this high caliber weapon is that there is simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting.
I mean, I just, I don't remember.
The prostitution of the 2nd Amendment was never absolute.
I mean, it's hard to hear him through that, so I wrote down what he said.
But he says, uh, a 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.
I mean, that sounds pretty useful to me.
I mean, I don't know anything about guns either, but that doesn't sound true to me, but I guess the Americans in the audience will let us know.
Also, he goes on to say, so the idea that these high-caliber weapons, in reference to the 9mm, a high-caliber weapon, there is simply no basis for it in self-defense or hunting, I mean, judging...
If what he is saying is true, which I doubt it is, that sounds like an excellent use for hunting and self-defence.
But also, just, why would you use a handgun to defend you?
Because I'm in a house.
I'm in a long barrel, surely.
And you probably wouldn't take just your handgun to go hunting bears.
This is true.
I think it says, remember that the Second Amendment was never absolute.
I mean, it's good that he just openly said it.
It's like, finally, we got to the legitimate Europeanized position of the American left, which is that they want to turn America into a country that is like any other bland place on Earth, rather than the United States, as a land of freedom that it is.
Just saying, yeah, 9mm, that's going to be banned as well.
Good for saying, I guess.
I think the next one probably shouldn't be surprised by this, because there should be another link in here.
I don't know if you can let it out, but this one is funny.
Which is, guns should not be in the hands of the mentally unstable, says senile man with nukes.
From the Babylon Bee.
Which, yeah, that's 100% true.
But if we go to the next one here, we can see the campaign manager for Biden also saying this.
Campaign manager called for mandatory gun seizures.
Back when she was working for Beta O'Rourke.
Well, what a surprise.
I feel one of shook.
We are actually the only campaign with a plan that supports mandatory buybacks of weapons of war.
An assault weapon ban is very, very important, and we need to have it.
But that only takes weapons of war off the streets in the future.
It does nothing for weapons of war that are currently out there.
Every weapon is a weapon of war.
I hate this rhetoric.
It is boring.
This whole debate is boring, frankly, in that regard, because we all know the guns are going to stay forever.
It's this idea that you're going to reform this by banning it.
No, it's not happening.
If you do that, then you don't have the United States.
In which case, what's the point in even living there?
And then there's also the question that we saw over here in England, which is like, weapon of war, how do you define that?
Where are the limits of that?
Because if I use it in the right context, a butter knife could be a weapon of war.
It certainly is on the streets of London.
Exactly.
If we go to the next one here, we have someone else who has taken up the mantle of banning every gun.
We have Trudeau saying here that he's put a freeze on the ability to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada.
This is a response to the Texas shooting.
I mean, if it is, it makes no goddamn sense.
Yeah, because that was in Texas.
It was quite far from Canada.
But also, there was no handgun used.
So...
These things don't need to make sense to the leftist brain, Callum.
Well, they never do.
It's all about reforming the country into, well, part of the global order instead, which is to be a Europeanised country in which the individual has no rights, individual freedom means nothing, but the freedom of the state means everything instead.
For the elites, that's absolutely the case.
I think for your average lefty on the street, it's just, it makes me feel bad that they're out there.
If they're that low-minded.
If we go to the next one here, we also have the hilarious response in all of this.
I'm going to go through some of the weird red herrings I see throughout American gun debates.
And again, as an outfighter, I'm not really involved in this debate, but I just find it absurd that people pretend this is a real thing.
So you have Occupy Democrats, verified checkmark here, being like, why the hell does an 18-year-old need an AR-15?
Ask Kyle Rittenhouse.
Next link, please.
Yeah, there.
There you go.
Mia 18 and Fallujah.
Just from some American.
There you have it.
That's why.
Because if the state has these weapons, then I probably need these weapons to resist the state.
Or at least a reasonable amount to resist the state, because that's the purpose of the Second Amendment, which is to overthrow government tyranny, such as in Athens.
For as an example, or anywhere else, such actions take place.
And if we go to the next one, we also have the fact that we have the weird leftist cope out of all of this.
We have Vox here going with an article, Mass shootings typically lead to looser gun laws, not stronger ones.
Good.
I wish this was true.
We all know it's not.
I don't know why they're lying to us.
They're just like, oh, but the data...
No, it doesn't.
What the hell are you talking about?
Like, every time there's a mass shooting, there's a massive push for gun control from the left.
And if they're in power, they usually get in their way.
I mean, even if it's on tiny things or bigger things.
So it's just obvious nonsense.
But if we go to the next one, we have another article from Vox saying, Australia confiscated 650,000 guns.
Murders and suicides plummeted.
There's this argument that...
You've all seen it on John...
What was it?
John...
It was...
John Oliver's.
No, no, I think it was Jon Stewart did one to begin with and he actually had Jon Oliver talking through the story of what happened in Australia.
And it's not a good argument.
Jon Oliver did his own as well, I believe, on his own show.
Fair play.
Which you just have them saying, oh look, they banned the guns and brought them all back, therefore no crime, everything goods, don't worry.
Now we should ban all of our guns.
And that'll solve the problems entirely.
And they won't just come from Mexico.
Don't worry about it.
And then COVID came and everybody regretted it.
Yeah, I love how this is in response to the mass shooting, for example, and then you just think, my god, imagine if an Australian was able to get away with a mass shooting somewhere in the world after this gun buyback.
That would blow a hole in the narrative.
That would be terrible.
Go to the next one, because of course Australians are still able to do terrible things.
Of course, this is in New Zealand, but it was an Australian doing it for people who don't know, who shouldn't have been able to have his guns anyway, which is a whole other story.
But if we go to the next one, we have the fact that also just this myth is just BS as well.
For the evidence here, if you scroll down, eventually there's a graph showing all the Anglo nations, and the fact that the Anglosphere went through a period in which violent crime just went down across the board for everyone.
This isn't the graph, you can keep going, there's one in here that shows that one.
Yeah, so you can see here, just Australia, Canada, the United States, and it's in the 90s, you have the fact that they banned guns, and everywhere having a lower crime rate, all over the place, because, well, that's just what happened.
Sorry, you're just already going with a trend and then claiming that that's what caused the trend.
Right.
However, with BLM, different story.
We can actually point to something that does increase homicides with guns, which is Black Lives Matter.
If you go to the next one here, we have a graph of just murders.
Oof.
Homicide victims.
And Black's taking the brunt of BLMs further here, as you can see.
So, as it usually is in the United States, let's be frank.
There's the per capita rate there for people listening.
Basically, all of the races pretty similar.
Black Americans not doing so well in this regard.
And then it gets to 2020.
George Floyd dies and Black homicides go through the roof.
All in his name.
In the name of George Floyd.
Thank you, George, for sacrificing yourself.
Yeah.
Second anniversary of George Floyd's death.
The evidence is overwhelming.
American elites have blood on their hands for the hysterical response to the police blotter incidents that has since brought about thousands of incremental dead bodies in the black community, especially there.
And then I thought we just, I mean, that's what I call homicide.
If we go to the next one as well, we can also see the response, at least some other responses I saw from this debate, which I find noteworthy and interesting.
Because here's the thing, if the guns aren't going to be banned and they're not, if it's still going to be America, then, well, then you have to think about responses.
And this is one of the funnier responses I've seen, which I do enjoy.
And also, eh, probably isn't a bad idea.
And if a teacher's worth their salt, they probably do it as well.
So this is a school which has all its teachers armed, and I just love how based it is, as the person says here.
Including the pastor, who is the headteacher of the school as well.
Let's play.
...in New Mexico, many of the teachers carry guns, just in case.
Show me your weapons and tell me what they are.
Forty-five, sir.
Forty-five.
Mr.
Pastor, this is a.45?
Yes, Director of Security.
Forty-five.
The pastor carries a.45 in a case that looks like a Bible.
The principal is also armed with a.38 semi-automatic pistol.
How many of you feel safer knowing that your teacher has a gun?
All of you.
I mean, as you say, I love the Bible one.
Oh yeah, it's so wonderful.
I feel like every teacher should have that.
Like, you know, the math teacher has it in a textbook, the geography teacher has it behind the maps.
No, I just like the idea that you go to this school and you just look around the library and, ah, the Bible opens up and there's just a gun in there with just a cut-out bit from the pages.
Say your prayers.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a meme, but it's also brilliant, frankly, so I must admit that is hilarious.
And also, would you feel safer with your kids there if the teachers all had guns to protect them from a shooter?
Probably yes.
You're an American.
Absolutely.
I mean, just beyond feeling safe if a shooter shows up, that's massive deterrence.
Is the shooter going to show up to this school or some other one?
So this is a very funny response, but I must admit there is the best response, which is from a friend of mine who keeps sending me footage from Polk County, Florida, in which the sheriff there is unbelievably based.
Oh, I think I've seen it.
Yeah, this guy.
Yeah, his funniest one was probably when all the thefts started up, and he just openly said, look, if you're a thief in Florida, here's some advice.
Go to California.
Yeah.
You won't be charged.
You do this here, we're going to arrest you and send you to jail.
But let's play his response to the mass shooting, which is that if you come to our schools, you can get effed.
But if you come to a school in this county, armed...
We're going to do our best through either our guardians, our school resource officers, or our school resource deputy sheriffs to eliminate the threat outside of the school before they ever get to the children.
We're trained to do that.
Now, if you have trouble understanding that, let me give it to you in Polk County vernacular.
This is the last thing you'll see.
Before we put a bullet through your head if you're trying to hurt our children.
We're going to shoot you graveyard dead if you come onto a campus with a gun threatening our children or shooting at us.
Not just normal dead.
Graveyard dead.
Graveyard dead.
That's amazing.
That's twice as dead.
You can't even be necromancered back into the world after that.
You're already six feet under before you hit the floor.
I love them.
I absolutely love them.
I wish every sheriff was like that.
I wish every law enforcement official ever was like that, frankly.
Because they are absolute gold.
But there we are.
That's my opinion on why I just hate the American gun debate, which is, to be frank, I think any American who is engaging in the gun debate should probably just open with the fact we're not banning the guns.
Stop being stupid.
And that should be the bottom line, because it's true.
Because if you do that, then I don't really see the point in the United States, frankly, because all your other rights are based on it.
I could see a revival of secession movements if they actually tried to do a federal gun ban.
Yeah, I mean, I love the reminders people put out through COVID as well, which is like, hey, Australians, show me about all those guns that went.
Enjoy your concentration camps.
It's just like, yeah, that is true.
And in the UK, we'll enjoy our hate speech laws.
So, yeah, that's my opinion on it.
Cheers.
Alright then, let's move on.
So, since about the mid-1990s, which is before I was born, to be fair, but I can recognise these things still, there has been a considerable push for people to adopt vegetarian, vegan-style diets and just indulge in meat substitutes.
And this is carrying on into the common day, where it's now, instead of just pure meat substitutes, it's you must eat ze boogs.
Which is something that we've covered a few times, but I thought we'd just go over some of the more recent developments and take a look at where this is all coming from.
Before we go any further, I just want to draw everybody's attention to two recent pieces of work that I've done for the website.
A free article called Economics and Fitness, where I'm talking about the mindset that you need to be in.
You need to have low time preference, so you need to be able to, in the Jordan Peterson sense, Put off what is expedient for what is meaningful to be able to get into a fitness-orientated mindset.
And plus, also, I doubt that ze bugs will be great nutrition for all of your gains that you'll be going for, so check that out if you're interested.
And also, I did an article, no, a video, a premium video, on how to be a conservative environmentalist, because a lot of this push for eating ze bugs recently has been done in the name of creating a greener future, because they're so much more sustainable to grow bugs than...
Cultivate farms with farmyard animals and create beef and other such things that are much more nutritious and better for you.
So check those out if you're interested.
And let's move on.
I just want to preface this with saying that I am not against vegan meats and other such lifestyle choices in principle.
In principle, I think if people choose to eat them, if there is a high enough market demand for them, whatever.
It just seems to me that a lot of this so-called demand for these kinds of synthetic meats and boogs nowadays is artificially pushed by agenda-setting elites in the World Economic Forum, their media cronies, and also Bill Gates.
But that's the thing, as a result of all that, I've got a massive bigotry against all this stuff, this ersatz food.
I mean, I love how back in the war we used to call it fake food, you know, substitute food.
It is fake food.
My fiancée is a veggie and she's constantly eating like, oh, this is a Beyond Meat burger, and I'm like, no, it's fake, it's a lie.
That's what it is.
Mm-hmm.
So you out there watching this, do your part.
Go out and buy some steak.
Eat lean meats.
Reject the boogs.
Reject the fake meat.
Scruton even pointed out that if you don't, most farm animals that are reared purely to be eventually slaughtered so that you can eat them would never be born in the first place.
So if you do care about animals, eat them.
Anyway, just to point out that this is massively being pushed by Bill Gates, first of all, who has for a long time wanted us to eat 100% synthetic beef, and this article from Men's Health, of all places, says that he has a point.
Bill Gates suggests synthetic beef, like beyond meat, is a key part of climate action.
Good.
I don't care.
I'm not going to eat it anyway.
Screw the climate.
Lab-grown meat still has extremely high costs, but taste-wise, it has passed muster.
Yes, for all of the vegetarians and vegans who have forgotten what meat tastes like, so why would I trust their opinion on anything?
And Gates is pushing meat alternatives because of meat's high cost in global emissions.
Once again, even if that is true, I don't care.
Do you?
No.
Exactly.
Like, this is the cost of food.
Okay, yeah, well, I kind of need food.
Yeah, I like food.
I'm not eating corpse starch, so...
Yeah, I don't want you to just create some mush and form it into what looks like meat, because I know you're lying to me.
Bill Gates has a big idea to fight climate change.
The Microsoft co-founder and chair of the investment fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures recently suggested that all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef in an interview with MIT. So what he's basically saying is, sacrifice your current standard of living for the sake of people you don't know on the other side of the world, who are probably causing more emissions than any of us over here are, for the environment.
Because why not?
Also, why?
Once again, I don't care.
And we've got Impossible Foods coming to the UK, because this is something that we've all been raring for.
Are you excited for Impossible Foods to show up here?
I mean, this is what I mentioned before, which is just the fact that, do you remember when vegetarian and vegan stuff was for vegetarian and vegans?
Mm-hmm.
Which was fine.
They weren't trying to market it to us and lie to us.
No, it's just like real meat, guys.
There's three meals, and then there's the vegetarian option, which is not a meal.
And that's how it goes.
And that's, you know, whatever.
And then the version of that now is the, hey, meat eater, eat the vegetarian stuff.
And it's just like, but why would I do that?
I'm not a vegetarian.
Why would I? I have no incentive to do this.
It's fake, it's a lie, and I can taste it, and you can't gaslight me into believing otherwise.
But that's the point.
Do you really think that Burger King is deeply obsessed with the climate?
No, they're obsessed with money.
Yes, of course they are.
It's probably just cheaper to feed you the lab.
Well, it's probably not even cheaper to feed you the lab when they're saying that lab costs and other such things are still expensive.
What's probably happening is that these massive hedge funds are probably saying, hey, we'll give you all this investment money if you push our product.
Whether or not it actually makes a return on the investment, we don't care.
We just want to push this out into the world.
And I've got evidence for that.
But it says, They should really start calling that an article.
I mean, that's what they are.
That's what they are, really.
The product range will be available in restaurants including Chicken Cottage, Halo Burger, blah, blah, blah.
And also will be introduced in more than 250 Green King Hungry Horse pubs.
And we'll see how successful it is there.
When you go for pub grub, do you often go for the vegetarian option?
No.
No.
You go for the nice, thick, starchy meat.
Because I'm going out to eat.
I'm paying money.
A lot of money to go out to eat.
Not to graze.
Yeah.
I'm not going to pay for grazings.
Impossible Foods fake meat is made from proteins extracted from soy and potatoes, because we all need more soy in our diets, as well as flavourings and bindings, the company markets itself as a more ethical alternative to eating meat, promising the taste and consistency without the animal bloodshed or environmental impact.
But that's what makes it taste so good.
The fact that I know it was something that's alive that's dead now?
No.
It's conquest.
It's usually because of the taste, but okay.
I don't know.
There's a part of my monkey brain that appeals to.
This is the only argument for vegetarianism that I think is actually valid and worthwhile, which is the ethical one.
And it's just like, yeah, fair enough, you know, there are some people who can't handle it.
I mean, one of the things that I've started doing recently, I've started going to Food Warehouse and buying, you know, grass-fed lean meats and then free-range eggs and such like that, so I can make sure that I'm eating the diet that I'm after with a more ethical element to it.
I know that the animals weren't, you know, tortured, basically.
Halal slaughtered.
Yeah, they weren't halal slaughtered, they weren't kept in tiny little cages like battery hens or anything like that.
Everything ethical, and I still get to eat the food that I want.
The company was founded in 2011 and has raised over $2 billion in funding from investors, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates and tennis champion Serena Williams.
Reports last autumn suggested the company was eyeing a $7 billion valuation in a funding round.
So immediately, the second this play started, funding backing from the elites, which tells me, more than anything, this is just being pushed for the elite agenda.
People don't want this.
And hey, I've got evidence, because it turns out that if it weren't for all this funding, Beyond Meat would actually rebrand as Beyond Broke.
Because their quarter-three sales, their sales, every single time I hear about them, always fall short.
You go into the supermarkets and you can have empty shelves of actual meat products.
And the vegetarian stuff will still be there.
Yep.
Even if you're starving, it's like, I'm not eating that.
It's fake.
It's a lie.
That won't do anything for me.
Beyond Meat says its sales increased 12.7% to $106.4 million for the July-September period.
That was lower than the $109 million Wall Street forecast, and the shares as a result in the company, based in El Singo, California, dropped 18% in after-hours trading.
So it immediately just dropped.
If it weren't for the fact that this was backed by elites, this would fail.
This is not a marketable situation, I don't think.
But, along with all of the fake meat substitutes that we've got going for us, we've also got organisations and institutions pushing the boogs, including CBBC. This is going directly for the children, and this article is almost three years old now.
Eating insects.
Should we be eating more?
Why are they so good?
Taking it for granted that boogs are just good to eat for you.
Now I know John has pointed out, being Chinese, that over in Asia and parts of Central and South America, for instance, people do eat boogs, but they eat them as a snack.
That's all it is.
It's just a little snack to tide you over, whereas what these sorts of people are doing is trying to put them forward as pure meal substitutes.
You need to eat the boogs For the environment.
For your own good.
I'm more creeped out by the idea that you target children here, because this is the strange aspect of it.
I don't know if you know, but there are a lot of things banned to be advertised at children in the UK, and I believe sugary drinks now are one of them.
Cigarettes, for instance.
But below 16, I don't think you can even advertise soda at kids in this country.
I think you need to prove your age to buy energy drinks like Monster...
Sure, but it's about the targeting, the advertising part, yeah.
And the fact that in the United States, I happen to know that Coca-Cola and Pepsi actually came to an agreement and just said, yeah, we're just not going to advertise it under 12s because this is morally wrong.
I think that's responsible.
Yeah, it was the fact that, okay, you could advertise to kids and then get them to have your only product so a kid would just drink Coke for the rest of his life, or Pepsi, right?
And therefore you've got brand loyalty, they'll have the thing, and they don't think it's weird.
Whereas that's obviously creepy and wrong, especially for something that's bad for you.
Children are very easy to manipulate, shockingly enough.
Yeah, so the idea that you want to go after kids and make sure that they think eating bugs is fine is sus to me, if nothing else.
It is very sus.
And also, there's just the element of nutrition.
Do you think that the boogs are going to be nutritionally fulfilling for young children who need a full diet to be able to develop properly?
I don't think so.
And we've got other articles pushing this sort of thing, saying 12 reasons why you should start eating bugs, in all capital letters.
Edible insects are sustainable, delicious, and they're getting more accessible than ever.
You can even find them out in your back garden now.
Incredible!
Two billion people worldwide are already eating insects every day, and once again, as snacks, not as meal replacements.
Number one...
What is this like with that?
You're okay with the bug bar, but the bug meal is too far.
Well, no, it's just John's point that he was making, that there's a difference in the targeting and what they're going for here.
It's not that you should be eating the bugs as a snack, which, you know, I don't think anybody's saying you can't do it.
It's that they're saying that you should be eating the bugs as your main diet, which just feels wrong for me.
But here's some of the points.
Number one, they're delicious.
X to doubt.
And they point out, Beatles are a great popcorn alternative.
Do you want to go to the cinema?
Go catch a film?
Get a nice bucket full of beetles?
I don't even like popcorn, I'm not gonna like beetles.
Yeah, punch down, get your sweet and salted beetles.
Mmm, nom nom nom, good movie.
Two, you're already doing it.
Sorry to break it to you, but the truth is you already eat bugs, of course, unconsciously.
One researcher estimated that we're all eating more than a pound of insects every year.
You may wonder how insect parts are hidden in your favourite foods.
So because of regulations saying that you're allowed to have this X amount of crushed up bugs in your food, which is another example of why regulations always fail, because all you're doing there is setting a minimum, they don't have to improve their product any more than that.
They can go, ah, we've hit the target, just leave the rest of the bugs in there, you know?
That's why it's okay, because you're already doing it, so who cares?
It's also just a fact of reality.
If you make a jar of jam, then you're going to end up with some bug legs in there.
Yeah, I mean, I can accept that as a side consequence.
4.
Bugs are sustainable.
Don't care.
Just don't care.
These sorts of arguments make no impression of me.
But also, what a weird argument.
It's like, do you know about alligator meat?
The fact that it almost went extinct?
And then they started farming it so that they could sell you it, and now the population has bounced back completely.
It's like if you allow people to privately own these things, they'll have an incentive to not make them go extinct, because I can make money off this.
Shocker, I know.
Number seven.
It's foolish to judge food by its looks.
Well, I still do.
I am the...
Calum will tell you.
Everyone will tell you.
I'm the pickiest eater in the world.
It's done me good so far.
Worked for my ancestors.
Works for me.
And number ten.
You don't have to eat them whole.
That's not an argument.
That's just saying, here's how you can make it less disgusting.
I know it's terrible.
But you don't have to have it in one.
You can cut it up into tiny little pieces.
And where does all of this push come from?
Why it comes from where everything else bad in the world right now comes from, which is the World Economic Forum.
Why we need to give insects the roles they deserve in our food system.
My ideal role for bugs is under my boot.
That's where I see it.
The world's population will reach 9.7 billion people by 2050.
This means that despite only 4% of arable land remaining available on the surface of our planet, An additional two billion more humans will have to be fed.
Now this is just pure Malthusian economics.
What they're doing there is they're completely just ignoring the possibility of further innovation within farming that could make it more efficient.
And plus, they're forgetting that population growth isn't coming from the West.
So why should the Westerners do this?
Why not send out humanitarian aid, seeing as they want to help the world, to help people in these impoverished countries, which is where the population growth is coming from, farm better.
I don't feel like sending cockroaches to Ethiopia is actually a good idea.
I don't think they'd be too pleased with that, do you?
Here, starving child, eat this, picks up bug.
I don't want that, thank you.
And they've been at this for a long while.
I found this article from 2018, but I know they've been at this for a while.
Was it 2016 that the You Will Eat the Bugs came from originally?
I don't know, I think it's way older than that.
Yeah, it's way older than that, but they've been at this for a while.
Good grub, why we might be eating insects soon.
And because they've been at it for a while, they have, of course, managed to convince a number of the elites that this should be happening, and hence, the UK government, well, the Welsh government, might be introducing a programme...
To test this out in primary schools, making the whole idea of targeting children, being creepy and weird, even more clear.
Let's just bring it out into the daylight.
Let's see if we can just feed the small children, your children, bugs.
And see if the parents are happy about this.
This, I pointed out, this does feel like something that Dr.
Evil came up with.
This is one of his crazy experiments.
He's going to start putting laser beams on the little bug's head so that he can achieve world domination.
He's going to start planting, I don't know, mind control drugs in the bugs.
So you just eat them and you just obey everything that Dr.
Klaus says.
And let's look at the article.
This is from the GB News article that's on here.
Primary school children could soon be offered insects as part of their school dinners in order to help the environment.
Four primary schools in Wales will be piloting a scheme educating children on alternative proteins from sources such as insects.
Now, alternative proteins, that really does sound like the...
What is it?
What's that film that you keep pointing out where they've got the bug bars and it's all crushed up cockroaches?
Snowpiercer.
Yeah, it really does sound like the Snowpiercer sort of logic, doesn't it?
No, no, it's not that it's cockroaches, it's that it's alternative protein.
Don't you worry about it.
Crickets, grasshoppers, silkworms, locusts and mealworms, so you're going to be eating like a reptile, will all be discussed with children in Pembrokeshire with the view of potentially offering them as an alternative protein.
This is after a 2020 study by the international platform of Insects for Food and Feed, IPIFF, found 9 million European consumers ate insects in 2019.
European, not British.
Stay away.
Study author Verity Jones of the University of West England in Bristol said everyone eats insects every day.
There's over 30 parts of bugs in every 100 grams of chocolate.
Bread, fruit juices, hops, you name it, you're into eating insects.
So they're just saying, why don't you just take it to the logical end point here and just eat the bugs.
All research for adults and children indicates whole insects are off-putting, but ground-up insects within foods are very acceptable.
So if we just deceive you, if we just grind up the bugs surreptitiously and feed them to you without you realising it, this makes it okay.
What a nonsense argument.
It's like, well, there's a leg in that jam of jar.
Sorry, that jar of jam.
It's just like, okay.
What?
And he's like, well, therefore, I've jammed up just legs into a paste, and we're going to put that in your toast instead.
No!
I don't want that!
I want the jam.
It just happens to come with a leg or two.
Like...
I can accept that, okay?
No one likes the idea of having a crunchy bit of wing or antenna beneath their teeth, but in fact, children were more likely to choose food containing edible insects over usual meat products on a matter of sustainable credentials, if given the option.
So if you've got a teacher saying you can eat the meat, but if you eat the meat it's very evil and Bambi will die, shockingly enough the easily manipulated children will be easily manipulated into eating the bugs.
What a shock!
Never saw that one coming.
My research indicates, as with adults, that boys are more likely to be up for trying the new foods first, but overall both boys and girls seem to be willing to have a go in equal measure.
So this is all just going back to the argument of trust the science.
I did the research, bro, don't worry about it.
And I honestly think that this whole thing is fundamentally anti-human, and is antithetical to our instincts, like most people in the West do.
Didn't go around eating bugs.
We recognize big cow, bonk on head, eat, make feel good.
They're trusting their instincts, and that's what we need to do now, and recognize that this is awful, because as far as I'm concerned, this anti-human sentiment that is all originating from, this idea that we need to do all this for the Earth, for Mother Earth, for a greener future, because human beings,
they're the real disease on Earth, leads to one thing and one thing only, which is a Tamagotchi children who don't exist could solve population problem.
What's the problem?
That we exist?
Apparently, according to these sorts of people, yes, it absolutely is.
They say it's overpopulation, but really, they do hate humanity.
And I would say it's moral cowardice to a certain extent from these people, because they were consistent with their own positions.
They would probably just jump off a bridge.
But they don't, because they know on some level that there is value in human life, but they still push all this nonsense anyway.
I'll just take a quick look through this article and see how horrified you all are out there at this.
They will cuddle you, play with you, and of course resemble you.
They will require minimal resources and will cost next to nothing to bring up.
If these sound like ideal children to you, be warned.
What has just been described is a virtual child.
These metaverse-hosted digital babies, an artificial intelligence expert has predicted, will become commonplace in 50 years.
In AI by Design, a plan for living with artificial intelligence, Ms. Campbell argues that concerns about overpopulation will prompt society to embrace digital children.
It is a demographic transformation that she has nicknamed the Tamagotchi generation.
Virtual children may seem like a giant leap from where we are now, but within 50 years technology will have advanced to such an extent that babies which exist in the metaverse are indistinct from those in the real world.
Indistinct babies in the metaverse.
You don't need children anymore.
Congratulations!
You need to just overcome your instinctual evolutionary desire to procreate and spread your own genes.
Just have the virtual baby.
Don't worry about it.
It's the same thing, bro.
Trust the science.
So obviously a tobacco salesman trying to sell you their product like she's made some crappy virtual child.
It's like, don't worry, just buy this.
It's just the same as your kid, I swear.
No, it's not.
Everyone knows it.
Yeah, she cites,"...widespread concern about environmental toll exacted by the world's increasing population, which is nearing 8 billion, so don't have babies because Mother Earth might get upset.
A 2020 YouGov study into why couples chose not to have children found that nearly 10% remain childless because of overpopulation concerns." Because that's the thing, this sort of, like, doomsaying, these death cultists, which it is, when you see this sort of stuff, it absolutely has become a death cult.
This does have real effects on people.
So many people in my generation that I speak to nowadays are like, I would have children, but I just don't want to do it to earth to bring them into such a terrible world.
Just don't listen to this absolute doom-mongering.
While a further 10% chose not to start a family because of the cost of raising a child, make no other mistake that this development, should it indeed take place, is a technological game-changer which, if managed correctly, could help us solve some of today's most pressing issues in Note the, if managed correctly, who's going to be managing that, I wonder?
Is it going to be you, the pleb on the street?
No, it's going to be the enlightened intellectual elite telling you how you are supposed to use your own body.
Ms.
Ms. Campbell said that through CGI and advanced machine learning, digital children will have photorealistic faces and bodies, and they'll be able to recognize and respond to their parents using facial tracking and voice analysis.
They'll be capable of speech and simulated emotional responses encompassing a baby's coo, a child's giggle, and a teenager's back chat.
Their parents will be able to interact with them in digital environments of their choosing, such as sitting room park or swimming pool.
They'll be able to choose how quickly their digital children grow up, if at all.
And does that not sound like a dystopian hellscape?
It just sounds like no one's even going to want it.
I mean, frankly.
I could see crazed Extinction Rebellion leftists embracing this.
Yeah, but everyone knows that's not real.
Like, someone playing Second Life knows that's not a real Second Life.
I have no belief that this will actually work either.
Oh, neither do I, but at the same time, these sorts of things being pushed do have an effect, as we saw from the fact that there's so many...
We're below replacement rate.
These are genuine consequences of the world and the ideology that we live in currently.
And it's horrifying that this is even being put forward as an idea in the first place, as far as I'm concerned.
But the true way forward, as with everything it seems, is to reject modernity, return to tradition, and trust your instincts and trust your ancestors.
Move to the next one for me, I just want to end on this meme.
Trusts the science, the midwits in the middle, indulging in their sugars, their microplastics.
They're fake vegan foods, whereas my ancestor, he bonked animals eating grass and ate it and trusted his instincts, and then I'm trusting my ancestors, and so should you.
There you go.
How does the Rune come?
Shaman knows.
Let's go to the Ricky Gervais Salt Mine.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Ricky Gervais Salt Mine that has been going on.
I haven't had a chance to watch the full special.
I've only seen the clips that have been out online, which is a shame, but then I don't pay for non-flicks, so it's not really a surprise.
But I thought we'd just go through some of the salt that has been bursting out of this story and enjoy it.
So we'll start off with Posey Parker's interview, of course, being the thing I'll promote today.
Of course, being relevant to the fact that Ricky Gervais is also a fellow woman believer.
Believes women exist.
How far we have fallen.
Yeah.
If we go to the next one here, we can start off with the media assault, and it's endless.
So we have this one from The Independent.
Ricky Gervais, Super Nature Review.
As it is all too frequent these days, the longest riff is reserved for the humiliation of trans people.
Two stars.
I don't get that rating.
Why two stars?
Like, if you're of the opinion that he's some transphobic neo-Nazi, you'd be like, eh, two stars.
No, no, no.
Literally his jokes are causing violence to people.
Eh, still got a little giggle out of me.
Two stars.
Yeah, I just, what a weird response.
But there we are, there's someone who's incredibly salty.
John and I examined some of the clips last week, and he's not making fun of trans people, he's making fun of trans activists.
Ideology.
Yeah, so even by their own logic, it doesn't work.
But that's why it stinks so hard for them, is it really does hurt their ideology.
We've got the next one here, we have the Huffington Post.
Also very salty.
Rikajibay slammed for dangerous jokes about transgender people in a Netflix special.
Dangerous jokes.
Think about that statement.
Dangerous words that are funny.
There we are.
Who are they dangerous to?
Again, dangerous to ideology.
Do we know how the Huffington Post responded to cuties?
I'd be very curious to see.
Five stars, presumably.
I bet.
Okay.
If we go to the next one here, we have Vox, who also very mad, with Ricky Gervais' new special, Netflix yet again suffers transphobic fools.
What do you mean fools?
Oh yeah, everyone loved it.
You're the one who were upset.
Why are you upset?
Oh, it's dangerous.
Dangerous jokes.
Please tell me we've got the Rotten Tomatoes comparison.
We will get there.
If we go to the next one, we have Pink News, who are also very mad, of course.
Ricky Gervais' new Netflix special is nothing more than anti-trans garbage fire.
Oh, feed me the salt.
I love it.
It's beautiful.
This is what I mean.
Just every headline, every newspaper, all controlled, all captured by the cathedral, all had to come out on the same day and be upset.
The funny thing is, I spoke to Blair White last week, and she was saying, oh yeah, Ricky Gervais is very supportive of me.
Yeah.
He's like, oh, he must hate trans people so much.
Yeah, just ideology.
Just insane ideology that says women can have penises.
Simple as that.
If we go to the next one here, we then have The Guardian, another laughing outlet, also very mad, Ricky Gbae's Netflix special, condemned by LGBTQ groups for anti-trans rants, masquerading as jokes.
Eh, but that's the thing.
That's the funny thing about the jester and his jokes, is if they sting that hard, it's because there's truth in them, and if the truth is that your ideology is mad, then...
Yeah, you are the one everyone's laughing at.
Also, just to point out the hilarity of leftists complaining about people disguising rants as jokes.
I mean, you've heard leftist comedians, right?
Yeah.
It's unbearable.
But if we go to the next one, sorry, there's a quote in there from GLAAD. So US LGBT rights group GLAAD called it dangerous, and we call GLAAD retards.
So we move to the next one, in which we also have Forbes.
Forbes, very upset.
Ricky Gervais has become the man he used to mock.
Oh no, what has he done?
Watching Gervais cracking jokes about trans women being rapists and having penises, tiltering like he's pushing an envelope, instead of repeating Facebook-tier comments, reminded me of David Brent of The Office.
I was like, Yeah, but Brent's right.
Like, if Brent was sat around making those jokes, but that's the thing.
Like, the Facebook-tier jokes are also haram, especially with you people, evidenced by the media response.
And if we go to the next one here, it's just an unrelated story about how David Brent is totally right.
Transgender murderer is caught having drunken sex with a female inmate at a prison.
Yeah, so the rapist thing and the penis thing, I think David might have been right about that one.
I think David might be the good boy in this story.
I'm curious, when it says drunken sex, is that toning down the reality of the situation for the headline a little bit?
I think they might be.
We've got the next one here, we have the other media assault, which is Ricky Gervais' Netflix special is nothing but cancel culture porn.
No, your reaction is the pornography.
I mean, you are trying to cancel him, so okay.
There is also that, you just can't do it because you suck at it.
And if we have the last one here, we have someone else who was very upset, or at least they were upset in 2019.
F Ricky Gervais.
Nish Kumar clip resurfaces after the comedian's controversial Netflix special.
So this is a clip from 2019 of Nish Kumar being very salty at the idea that he's not funny and everyone else is.
Why?
Because they have to do just the simple thing of women don't have penises.
And that's enough of a taboo in our society that breaking the taboo itself is funny.
And Nish can't get that because he believes that it should be a taboo, of course.
He says, uh, Funny way of phrasing it.
The latest group, as if it's a fad.
I also hate the way that they always refer to it as minority, as if being the minority inherently disadvantages them, whereas it's the fact of the matter is that the elites in society often are a minority group of their own of some form, obviously in the elite spheres.
So that in and of itself disproves this idea that minorities are inherently a disadvantage at all times.
Right.
I don't even read it that way.
I read it as him saying, how dare you make fun of the latest aristocracy?
Well, exactly.
Because you're a minority, you're worth more.
I mean, that's just how the argument goes.
So, the latest aristocrats are being made fun of.
How dare they?
Quote, No, idiot.
I do think genuinely he has no idea because Nish Kumar is, you know, brain dead.
But the evidence, of course, is that it's not about the 12 trans people who exist in the world.
It's about the facts of the trans ideology and that you are compelled to deny reality for political correctness over factual correctness.
That's the thing with political correctness.
By definition, it's not true.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be politically correct.
It would just be correct.
And yet Nish Kumar is surprised.
It would be technically correct, which is the best kind.
He continues, F Ricky Gervais, F Ricky Gervais.
What's he...
What child!
Amazing comedy.
What child!
I am much impressed with your stand-up.
What he's doing isn't edgy or interesting.
He is the same as every other rich white dude comedian who gets too successful, unlike Nish, runs out of ideas and decides to S on the latest minority group.
In the 1970s, it was my effing family.
Black and minority ethnic people.
That's the wrong term.
Yuckamagamur, bro.
We don't say that no more.
In the 80s, it was gay people.
Trans people are just the latest to get it in the neck from comedians who can't be bothered to try at their jobs anymore.
Well, if we're going to go by the trends that he's pointed out there, all of those people, I would say nowadays, are in a position of massive political power.
So surely he's going to be excited to see what's going to happen in the trans community 30 years from now.
They're going to be in charge.
I hate his disparaging of Ricky and his comedy.
He's like, oh, they used to make fun of brown people and then gays and then trans.
I don't know, bro.
All three at once, if you're a good comedian.
I mean, that's what you've got to do, along with everyone else, of course.
He continues, I cannot stand here and watch another dog-esque comedian go, if a woman can identify as a man, maybe I can identify as a chair.
Why don't you identify as a good comedian, you hack mother effers?
Have you tried it, Nish?
Let's go to the next one.
There's a result.
There's the result of Ricky's show.
92% audience score, 14% from the Tomato Mule of reviewers, the professional smear merchants, like Nish himself.
Well, that's a lot of damage right there.
What do you identify as a good comedian?
Don't have to.
That's why.
You do, though, don't you, Nish?
Otherwise, what else are you doing?
Even Flex Tape can't fix that score.
No, if we go to the next one here, we have people who don't know Nish Kumar.
He is a man most well known at this point for being so bad a comedian that he just gets bread thrown at him.
So you've got Ricky, round of applause.
Nish, literally the guy having food thrown at him and people yelling, get off the stage, you suck.
And he's like, oh my god, they're so bad at being a comedian.
I know you're the one who's bad at being a comedian.
But you're also bad at being a decent human being, frankly, if you believe in trans ideology.
I mean, we showed previously the story, just in this segment, about the sex in prison, but if we go to the next one, we then have something, frankly, I find just as equally disgusting.
This from the BBC, because...
Yeah, of course it's the BBC, we have to talk about rape.
Why else would the BBC exist?
So they altered gender in trans rape claim, the headline reads.
The BBC changed the testimony of a rape victim after a debate over pronouns of her transgender attacker the Times has learned.
A woman came and told them about a rape that happened and they were like...
Respect the pronouns, please.
Her penis.
That's the sketch.
That's literally the joke.
That is Ricky Gervais' joke about trans ideology.
What if he rapes you?
Wait, sorry.
She rapes you.
And the BBC brought into it hook, line, and sinker.
This is what Nish Kumar's defending in here, which is don't believe, well, rape victims.
Why?
Because...
Sure, penis!
It's her penis that raped you!
An anonymous participant told researchers, quote, I was too young to argue, and I had been brainwashed by queer theory so that he was a woman, even if every fiber of my being was screaming throughout, so I agreed to go home with him.
He used physical force when I changed my mind upon seeing his penis, and he raped me.
So someone who believed the man was a woman because of queer theory, and then got to the bedroom and went, hang on a sec, that's a cock.
Big shock, I am sure, if you had been living in reality land, and then got raped by him, not her, obviously, because it's his penis.
The BBC article replaced every reference to he or him with they or them.
A source said the quote was subject to a heated debate prior to publication, Some journalists argued that the quotes should remain intact, called journalists, whereas the smear merchants said that it should reflect the trans woman's preferred she-her pronouns.
And then they came to the compromise of they, which again doesn't even work because that's plural.
This is just depressing.
But there you have it.
The Ricky Gervais joke was 100% true and came true in real time as the media lost their minds over it.
They claim that the BBC's 14-strong central diversity team had influence over the style guide, making suggestions to boost inclusive language.
There you have it.
That's what Nish Kumar's defending.
The diversity team turning up and saying, you were raped, but it was by a woman.
It's her penis.
The Ricky Gervais joke really happened in the BBC's, well, editorial room in real time, as all this was coming out.
But I thought we'd also just mention some other stuff in the world of comedy.
If we go to the next one here, we have Andrew Doyle's article in relation to all this, which is Ricky Gervais doesn't punch down, and that's obviously true.
Like, the intersectionals run all the institutions and the political parties and powers, so...
Yeah, punching up against our overlords, the boog lords of the world.
And there's also the fact that, well, it's also criminal what Ricky Gervais has done.
He's not just fighting back against ideology.
He's not just fighting back against political parties.
He's fighting against the law itself.
We go to the next one here.
We have a barrister warning that, yeah, he broke the law.
Comics making trans jokes could be criminalized under a new strategy.
Barrister warns.
A barrister warns telling jokes about trans people, like Rikki Gervais, in his most recent show, could be criminalized if a new home office plan is put into place.
Obviously this is already kind of true, but we'll get back to that.
It's a new strategy to be published shortly, with a home office minister saying it will, quote,"...set out steps to increase the reporting of all forms of hate crime, including hate crimes targeting sexual orientation or transgender identity." Hate crimes in clause including jokes and words that don't hurt anyone.
They will see perpetrators accused of non-crime hate instances which are recorded onto police systems.
It comes after the Court of Appeal ruled that the College of Policing's guidance telling forces to record incidents believed to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice against a person.
The non-crime hate instances violated the European Convention on Human Rights.
Yeah, so the British police were literally breaking the human rights of British citizens, even by European standard, which is low, let's be honest.
And the courts overrude that, so then the Home Office has just decided to legalise it.
Instead.
In law.
Fantastic.
A Home Office spokesman has hit back at all this, saying these claims are completely wrong.
There are no plans to expand recording of non-crime hate instances, nor will we criminalise comedians.
Solof, you already do.
I don't believe you.
No, they say that our approach will ensure that police are focusing their resources on serious and harmful hate crimes, such as violent assaults or attacks on places of worship.
Bollocks.
Just obvious bollocks.
Because we live in this country, we know what you're like.
We've had you for years.
Home office.
If we go to the next one here, we can see the story of the fact that, yeah, Priti Patel even had to go out of her way to enforce the police, or tell the police, that they should stop wasting their time on this.
And then when you leave them alone for five minutes, they're going to go back to their old habits of arresting people for handing out carrier bags in a homophobic manner.
If we go to the next one, though, we have, of course, that Priti Patel has also had to warn them about, you know, can you please recall the race of the rapists?
Because I'm trying to collect data on who's doing the rapes, and the police just for the last, like, 20-odd years have just ignored her, and everyone else who's been in the home office, because they're not interested.
Now, if we go to the next one here, we have, of course, the fact that it's also a crime already.
What Ricky Gervais did just is a crime.
It's just a luck that he isn't being charged, frankly, because if they tried, then the law would be dead in the water.
This is an article saying, is it illegal to insult Captain Tom?
You may remember the old man who did some walks and then his family screwed him over.
Let's not go into that.
There was an old saying, of course, which is the only good Indian is a dead Indian from an American general, which, yeah, American generals back in the day.
And so a Scottish man decided to replace that with Brit, of course, and then he was charged with a crime, Section 127, Communications Act 2003.
Yeah, remember, that's the Naughty Pug Law.
While I do disavow what this man said and think that it's ridiculously disrespectful and insulting, I don't think he should have been arrested for that.
It's ethnic banter, frankly.
Even if, in the case of Captain Tom, some Scot thinks the only good Brit is a dead Brit.
Funnily enough, that includes yourself, Mr.
Scott.
Because...
You live on the island of Britain, so...
Doesn't even make sense.
But if we go to the next one here, we have the fact, of course, that this is the pug story as well.
The fact that it's the same law.
So yes, frankly, what Ricky Gervais did is a crime.
It's just the fact that the British cops don't have the balls to try it.
Because they know they'll lose when it actually gets to the courts.
Because, well, people can rally around Ricky Gervais, but people like Count Dankula...
The system is far too skittish to dare defend someone such a rogue.
But speaking of Pugman, I thought I'd just end this off on a little segment about the fact that he got a fight recently with someone who is a moron.
So we have Otto English here saying that in relation to the shooting and the gun ban in the UK, in the UK we banned handguns and high-powered rifles after a close shooting in 1996.
As a result of these events, we don't have these events going on anymore in the UK. Someone pointed out the bleeding obvious, which is, uh, yeah, well, we still have the fact that the British state has become tyrannical in response to all that.
Comedians get arrested for jokes.
Wait, did this person not realise what they were doing when they asked this question?
Mr.
English here presumably doesn't know where he lives, and he responded with being like, well, can you name me three examples of comedians getting arrested for telling a joke?
You only want three?
We can go on for a while.
Count Dankula is definitely one.
I can't remember her name now, but the autistic girl in Liverpool who quoted song lyrics got arrested because the song lyrics were from an American rapper and therefore had the dreaded N-word inside.
And she was arrested and then fined and also given a curfew.
There's that one.
And then there are literally thousands of other cases with Section 127, not to mention anywhere else.
We could even just mention that...
4,000 a year, according to John.
I remember putting an FOI request to the Ministry of Justice, and that's what they told me.
If we go forward, we can go to the next one.
It's just, uh, Alto being like, no, Count Dankula is not a comedian.
Right?
Says he's some twat on Twitter.
Mmm, okay.
And I love Dankula's response to this.
I love how you have moved from completely denying reality instead of just admitting that comedians have in fact been arrested in the UK for jokes, and you were just wrong.
You were that kid who stomped and screamed in Asda when your mum told you to put back the Lego box, weren't you?
Yeah, it's good to put down.
Yeah, it's alright.
And then we have Otto saying, well, I have to say, and quite seriously here, having met your followers online tonight, I genuinely pity you.
Saddest bunch of fans I've encountered in 12 years on the site.
And Dankula's response, well, I haven't met any of yours, but I'm sure they're out there somewhere.
They don't exist.
Let's just don't have fans, let's be frank.
And then if we go to the next one here, we just have the cope.
Cope harder.
You're not a comedian.
Okay?
Who cares what your opinion is on this?
Like, here's all my comedy shows.
You moron.
And also, if we tie it back to Ricky Gervais, Ricky Gervais also being one of the good guys, because he actually defended Count Dankula at the time, saying a man has been convicted in the UK court for making a joke that's been deemed grossly offensive.
If you don't believe in a person's right to say things you might find grossly offensive, then you don't believe in freedom of speech.
And this is also true of Ricky's current show.
And frankly...
Do be a bit rude, but frankly, I do actually look forward to the police trying it on with him.
I'd love to see them try and send him down for breaking the law in the UK, for daring to put out a joke that says, HER PENIS! I'd just love to see what jokes he comes out with after it.
Yeah, as well.
That would be a fantastic stand-up set.
But speaking of British comedians as well, which is the fact that if you want to go see this non-comedian, you certainly can at the Roast of Count Dankula on July 13th.
I know it was a bit of a weird plug, but I thought I'd do it just because it's funny if nothing else to piss off Otto English.
Because screw him.
There you are.
There's the tickets.
You've got the July 13th date, which will be somewhere, I believe it's in London.
Is that correct, John?
Backyard Comedy Club is where it's going to be, so there it is.
Don't be fooled by the image.
You will have to bring your own book fast.
Otherwise, that's that.
Let's go to the Badoo comments.
So we start with the most boring of the Primarchs, ya boi, raw butt girly man.
Now, leader of the Ultra Smurfs, Butt Boy is the most generic of the Primarchs.
He's only really made interesting by his revival in modern 40k, due to seeing how the Imperium has gone completely against his father's wishes, but knows he can do nothing about it, as the religion of the faction is the only thing holding their morale together in the war against the Xenos and Chaos.
Very good summary.
Yeah.
I do need to get into 40k lore, because this all sounds awesome.
So Roebuck Gorilla Man over there was a Primark and then he went sleepy bye-byes.
Oh, sleepy bye-byes.
The Elder and some humans brought him back to life in the 41st century.
Oh, okay.
And so he's got back up and he's He's like, oh, I can't wait to go meet my atheist dad who runs the galaxy.
And no, there's obviously the global new religion, sorry, interstellar new religion of the cult of the Emperor.
So he sat there very blackpilled, just being like, I want to die.
This is ridiculous.
What have you done?
You've ruined everything.
So he's slowly trying to reform it.
Go to the next one.
Since these bureaucratic weirdos, I think that Roland is one more rule away from a better society.
Why don't we just put in two proposals then?
One, the Stop Glorifying School Shooters Act, as in, like, the media cannot publish the school shooter's information for at least about two weeks.
As well as a National Solidarity Act, where everyone is encouraged for a week to go and talk to your neighbor and actually be part of a community and all that.
It doesn't even have to pass.
All I have to do is just put in people's heads that these are the problems.
Yeah, I'm sure Carl would agree with that.
I don't really know how much the government can do to solve that problem, but it is just, well, except repealing a lot of their interference, but yeah, it certainly isn't just being like, oh, we'll just ban the guns.
That's not going to happen, so stop being stupid.
If the government repealed itself, it would solve a few problems, but...
Okay.
Next one.
Okay.
Ole!
We're police officers.
We're not trying to handle this kind of violence.
I for one am downright excited about the preciseness in which dystopian fiction can predict the future.
Art is truly a marvel.
It is.
You have watched Demolition Man, right?
Yeah.
Good, good.
That is unbelievably true.
And also, I can't believe I didn't make the connection sooner.
Thanks for making it.
Yes, thank you.
I mean, I think we can trace a lot of satire back to Demolition Man just coming true of all of the dystopian fictions that I didn't expect to come true.
That's the one that was most accurate.
Could have been shot.
Yes.
Yes, that is your job.
Go to the next one.
There was a time back in the day when it was the Danish Vikings who invaded Ukraine and Russia.
For the rest of the week, I'm going to show a few videos from this special exhibition in Moscow, Aarhus, while showing the time when the Vikings took over the East.
That's really cool.
Yeah.
But I do feel like a Chinaman being shown the world of the British Empire.
The guys who turned up and were just like, give us that.
Well, what I see there is the people who came and raped my ancestors and led to me, so I can't be that angry at them for it.
I'm far enough away, so it doesn't even matter actually to me, but it's just...
I look forward to it, frankly.
That was a good idea, Sophie.
So, yeah.
Thanks.
Let's go to the next one.
Hello from the Isle of Man.
Parts of the TT course have only been open for two days and we've already had three crashes.
One of them has been a fairly expensive Ferrari that might as well have been written off.
A motorbike being donned for 110 in a 50.
And if anybody's interested, for the first time you can now watch the racing live anywhere in the world.
Go to ttplus.iomraces.com Well, that's neat.
I did say, I mean, I would have asked myself doing what you showed us last time with those guys doing.
So, yeah, there are crashes.
Although the guy in the Ferrari, I bet he's pissed.
I mean, what do you even do at that point?
I mean, surely he's got enough money that it doesn't matter.
Otherwise, that's the worst day of your life.
I don't know.
I don't own a Ferrari.
I can't tell you, man.
Although, if anyone wants to give me a Ferrari out there, I'd be more than happy to accept.
That, too.
Let's go to the next one.
Considering the supposed conservative government of Germany and Australia, I find myself wandering back to Hassan of the Brotherhood of Nod, who's supposed to be its leader, but is actually a servant of the globalist GDI. I can't help but notice a similarity to this conduct and how current modern-day conservative governments
seem to work against their own people.
I mean, it's 100% true.
Also, I just love that it's true of Hasan Piker as well, where he's just like, oh, guys, we need the revolution.
We need to change the whole system, but also change nothing, because I'm a billionaire and it's going well.
He's also right that that guy did have Josh's eyes, and it was kind of creepy.
And though he has created his alibis by falsifying history, by smearing what was left of our name, By insinuating poisonous myths in the minds of our peoples.
By proclaiming himself sovereign at the crossroads of ideologies.
This, his modern civilization, is not superior.
It is not enlightened.
I have no idea where that's from, the audio, but it's 100% true.
That is true.
Whenever I see headlines like that, I really do just want to find the people who wrote them and just...
Just be a British child at them, an English child.
Just blow the raspberries.
Have I told you about the Google plugin extension that will change words?
Sorry, it'll change...
I know of a few already, but yeah, yeah.
So it changes white for Jew, and like whiteness for to Jewry.
And there are some videos I've seen people being like, hey, look at all these headlines.
That's pretty normal leftist, so put it in the plugin.
Oh my god!
Wait a second!
Yeah, it's 100% true though.
I hate that we don't take it more seriously, frankly.
Let's go to the next one.
Hi guys, I'd like to show you a hobby of mine.
I like to make my own wines and age them in barrels.
I got this one, this barrel, offline.
It's an ex-bourbon barrel.
I previously aged these wines in here.
Now, I'm going to put a rum in here and age it and see how it tastes.
That's pretty awesome.
Nice.
Yeah.
Let me know.
Do you do that just on a barrel-by-barrel for your own house, or on a bigger scale?
I'd love to know.
Otherwise, let's go to the next one.
Alright, so the chickens are going outside and playing in their pen, and they're having a good time.
So while they're small like this then they can be in a confined pen but once they get a little bit bigger we'll have mobile pens that we can drag around the yard to give them fresh grass regularly and yeah so the round ones are chickens the tall gawky ones are turkeys and the little black ones are layers.
Cutest thing in the world.
That is very cute.
But see, this is what I'm talking about.
If we didn't want to eat those, would we have had them born in the first place?
And would they be able to enjoy that life?
It's the same with the alligator meat.
Exactly.
It would be extinct otherwise.
You watched Clarkson's Farm recently?
I watched it last year.
I'm really looking forward to the second series.
I've got a whole bunch of recommendations for it.
I've been going through all the clips on YouTube I can find.
I love it.
It is fantastic.
Caleb is a picture of the English countryside, and I love it.
I also just love how you can see the struggle that he endlessly has with the local authorities.
Government regulations every single time.
The farm shop doesn't have slate on it.
It's like, gives a fuck.
Why should I care?
Because the government says you have to.
Yeah, so you just can't sell stuff.
And it's really getting me into the idea of becoming a farmer, frankly.
Even just get some chickens in the back garden.
It's then also that he gets all these government regulations which make him probably like a hundred times less efficient than he otherwise would have been.
And then by the end he's made barely any money and the only thing that's keeping him propped up is the government subsidy that they give him for, what was it, like 80 grand or something?
Yeah.
So it's like the government is putting all of these blockades in your way to stop you from making money, but don't worry because the government's going to come in with somebody else's money, the tax money, and pay you to make sure that you don't lose all your money on it.
Madness.
What is this system?
What is it?
Go to the next one.
I think with this announcement, we are making this dream reality.
Many of your medicines we know from the COVID vaccine, very effective, very welcome.
The logistics around medicines we know from the COVID vaccine, very effective, very welcome.
The logistics around...
I told you.
Until otherwise, they are bugs in human form, and there we have it.
There's some frog people as well.
It wasn't the crab people we needed to be watching out for, it was the frog people.
Frog people.
Pop like frogs, talk like people.
Let's go to the next one.
Welcome to Little Joan with another Legend of the Pines from Weird New Jersey comes the story of the Hancock House Massacre.
This occurred during the height of the Revolutionary War in 1778 in Salem County.
Judge Hancock had a house in about 30 Militiamen were garrisoned there when a group of loyalists attacked butchering many of the patriots.
They say their ghosts still wander the grounds and sometimes you can hear them scream.
What do they scream?
That's what I want to know!
Freedom?
I feel like I'm being cucked in the ghost story there.
Stuck in the colonial mindset, obviously.
Just screeching about tea.
Bloody taxes.
So for the way how Uvold acted on it, it's no surprise that they acted the way they have.
Remember, there's at least about two years worth of writing that went on unchecked.
And even though you're in a red state, all the major cities and a good chunk of the mid-side cities on it have all defunded the police.
The amount of affection of leftist ideology runs pretty deep.
So yeah, act accordingly.
I didn't really understand the point, though, because I presumably just defend yourself, which is a good message, if nothing else.
Don't vote blue.
There's a good bit of advice I took from that.
Let's go to the written comments on the side.
So, first one being from T.Y. Shelby.
Ty Shibley.
Is that a reference?
Maybe it's his name, man.
Americans got weird names.
Whoops, 404-era podcast not found, but seriously, congrats all over the 400 episodes, guys.
Been watching things Carl and Gamergate.
It's been fun.
Certainly has.
Where's Anita Sarkeesian now, huh?
So on the US gun debate, Confused AF says, the whole gun debate is insufferable.
Once again, leftists are trying to treat the symptoms of a disease instead of the disease itself.
Let's not fix the economic policy and labor market.
Let's institute a minimum wage.
Let's not fix the social decay and community cohesion.
Let's just ban weapons.
Yeah.
I don't know why we can't get some common sense knife control so that we no longer have these mass stabbings in London.
What about some common sense car control so that only people can have cars in a certain circumstance in which only a select few can do it because civilians really need cars?
And common sense food control?
Do you really need to be eating all of that pork and beef, sir, when there's some tasty crickets right here for you?
I hate it.
I hate it so much.
Does a civilian really need a car?
Why can't the police just have cars?
Razcek was right, says, Did he just say the teachers are trained to snipe you dead enough to vote Democrat before you enter the building?
Very base.
Norwegian Viking says, Yes, disarm the legal citizens.
Imagine thinking criminals are going to do the same.
The sheer stupidity, I swear.
Lord Nerevar says, I've seen him previously talk about this as well.
He's like, oh, just buy a shotgun.
It'll be fine.
Just fire two rounds in the air and it'll be fine.
I was like, you do that to see it.
You get arrested, mate.
It didn't happen to Boogie or something?
It did happen to Boogie, didn't it?
Although, to be fair, firing rounds off into the sky is massively irresponsible because those rounds come crashing down again, which is why he got arrested.
That's why Joe Biden is also a man who knows nothing.
I'm surrounded by armed guards.
Why would he need to know?
That's why.
Yes, become ungovernable.
I endorse that prepper mindset there.
Jules, a foreign name you can't pronounce.
Thanks!
Thanks for making it simple, yeah.
The entire reason gun people own guns is because we see the evil in the world and want to do what we can to prevent it from happening to ourselves and the people around us.
100% true.
So I find it really strange that the people paint the Democrats as an empathetic group here.
It is empathetic to want to make people less safe.
Is it empathetic to want to prevent others from protecting their children?
Is it empathetic to disarm victims of domestic abuse?
Is it empathetic to literally turn schools into proverbial barrels full of fish?
That's a really grim way of ending that, but that's totally true.
It's not true.
It's being lunatics.
M1Ping says 9mm becoming a high caliber is laughable.
9mm is literally the weakest centerfire cartridge.
Most gun owners will have that in their inventory.
Sophie says, I mean, if anything, these two more recent shooting events just make the argument of why people should have guns the case.
The police was useless.
Parents were ready to jump into action.
So if anything, the Uvalde shooter...
It's just a prime example of why citizens should be allowed to be armed.
Yeah, I did see a response of people saying, you know, why would you let parents in when they had all those police there?
And it's like, you wouldn't usually.
Usually you'd send them to police.
But if there are no police there, I mean, the parent with the gun is the best next option.
Because the next option is nothing otherwise.
And there were police there who did nothing.
So...
This is entirely circular.
Anyway, we shall move on to the books.
Alrighty, Longshank says, All I wanted to do was eat steak and play video games every day.
That's all I wanted.
Adrian Bradley, I don't mind the research into lab-grown meat.
Once the technology is improved and it becomes cheaper than traditional meat, as long as the taste, texture, etc.
is indistinguishable from traditional meat, there's no difference to me.
And this is why you're a soy...
No, I'm joking.
Remains to be seen if the tech will get there and if the price is affordable, but otherwise I've got no problem with eating meat from animals.
If World Economic Forum at all are going to keep pushing vegan vegetarian, that just means more meat left for me.
Yes, and to be fair, once again, I do think there is a genuine ethical and moral argument to be made that you should still be eating normal meat, even if it does become Indistinguishable, which I don't think it will do, primarily because you are still incentivizing people to raise animals in the first place, meaning that those animals wouldn't be born otherwise.
So it's nasty that they end up dying, but everything ends up dying, at least they get to live first.
That's the Scruton argument.
As a bonus, Carl's argument that the bugs are a humiliation.
That's why they present them as disgusting as possible.
This is all true, and I don't, once again, I don't trust these people trying to push bugs on me, no matter what they say their intentions are.
Robert Longshore, food and nutrition is a vastly more complicated problem than transgenderism.
However, you can already easily manipulate children to chop off their dongs, so why not go the full hog?
Well, once again, I see this as all part of a concerted effort to try and basically erase the human race in the first place, apart from maybe an established elite circle of people, probably at the World Economic Forum.
So, once again, if you can't, get them to chop off their dicks, get them to get them aborted before they could even be born, maybe even convince people not to have children in the first place, and if all that fails, make sure that the children are feminized and malnourished.
Yes, the party of empathy right there.
These digital babies sound horrible.
If you don't want your own children and still want to raise something, adopt a child.
Excellent point.
There are thousands of kids in care already, and these children would do much better in life if brought up in loving homes, and your daft, guilty, lefty brain can still feel good about not bringing up a child of your own into the world.
Excellent point.
Brandon Napier, the World Economic Forum's obsession with eating bugs, does them no favours in convincing people they aren't lizards.
Yes.
I will drink the milk.
I will eat the steak.
Based.
Minicus Monicus says if we tell children eating meat is bad, they are willing to try z-bugs.
No, really?
Almost as if children have to be raised into critically thinking adults before being trusted with important decisions or being listened to.
The left is incredibly good at rediscovering obvious truths and presenting it like something revolutionary.
Yes, I mean, they don't even discover obvious truths.
so they misrepresent reality because they're too utopian to realize what human nature and reality looks like and they try and bend reality to fit their utopian visions.
And it's awful, and it always goes wrong, and you always end up with piles of bodies.
Tish Potato says, A good vegetarian meal simply doesn't contain meat.
All vegetarian meals that are trying to imitate meat always fall flat.
It's for the religious vegetarians who secretly really want a bit of pork rather than some vegetables.
It's pathetic.
Well, I think a lot of vegetarians, my significant other being one of them, absolutely recognise that meat tastes nicer.
And the whole point of trying to eat fake meat is trying to basically still have nice food without having to worry about the ethical concerns of it or the environmental concerns.
And, you know, if there's a market for those sorts of people, fair play if there's enough demand to sustain it, wonderful.
It's the fact that it's being pushed so obviously by the elites in such an unsustainable way when all of the businesses don't make any money and it's just being propped up by hedge funds.
That's when you know that it's just part of the agenda.
M1ping, give it a decade and these weirdos will be complaining about the ethics of killing boogs for food.
Probably.
Free will, do you think the elites will, lead by example, give up meat and tuck into a bowl of snail porridge?
Well, look at their fancy...
Half of them are French.
Yeah, well, I would say if you want to see if they'll lead by example, just look at how they choose to travel.
In their big fancy airliners and jets and see whether they're leading by example in every other way that they're trying to push on us.
To be honest, I am kind of excited about the idea that they're going to be like, well, the boogie's alive, so maybe you should now eat this paste instead.
Yep.
This isn't gruel, this is Discount Imitation Gruul now.
Corpse dodge.
Mm-hmm.
Gentlemen?
Too evil.
Joseph Smith, if people are willing to buy this stuff, then I'm not against selling it.
Or, in the vernacular of my co-workers and I at the grocery store, if these idiots want to eat this, we're happy to take their money.
Absolutely.
Also, I just do...
Oh, it's such a cruel...
Just imagine running an all-vegan store, but you're just a massive meat eater.
You're just like, it's just funny that they buy it.
I'm just sat there behind the counter, just hand-eating a raw steak, just to myself, just letting the blood get all over me.
That'll be ten pounds, please.
So you know the damn girl, you live like this meme?
It's just like, damn girl, you eat like this?
Yep.
Get out.
Also, I just don't understand why vegans are so offended when I say the fake meat is over there.
I think it's a version of the Emperor Has No Clothes where they're so used to everybody around them playing along with the vegan meat nonsense.
So anyone like me who just outright tells them they're eating fake foods completely collapses their nice little fantasy that they have built up in their own minds.
That's basically how you combat any lefty logic, isn't it, really?
That would be an interesting experiment.
Like, you know, at a governmental level, if we just renamed vegan vegetarian meat to Ersatzfleisch...
Extend the German because it sounds grosser.
It really does.
Everything sounds grosser in German.
Kevin Fox.
Vegetarians are all fakers.
If they weren't, they wouldn't need to disguise their food as meat in the first place.
If you want vegetables that look like bacon and taste like bacon, eat effing bacon.
If you really are a vegetarian, eat your food, your grass and grazings, the way it comes out of the ground.
Stop trying to disguise it as proper food.
Yes.
Longshanks Tamagotchi Children is the logical conclusion of the fur mom phenomenon.
Phenomenon?
By which I mean modernity was a mistake.
I'm coming to this conclusion.
Reruns of MacGyver says, I think I know why Gates, Schwab, and Soros want people to go vegan.
Iron deficiency in kids slows physical and intellectual development and increases behavioral disorders.
Ideal if you need to restaff your Epstein island with compliant children.
Just saying.
I don't necessarily know about the whole Epstein thing, although I wouldn't be surprised, but that would actually...
That would be interesting if that would explain why there's been such a massive surge of mental disorders since maybe the mid-90s when the whole vegan-vegetarian movement started getting pushed.
Would be interesting, wouldn't it?
I'm not a nutritionist, so I can't say.
On the Ricky Gervais question...
Longshanks1690 says, Can anyone imagine Christians reacting like this every time Ricky took a job at Christianity in his hour-long special about many, many topics?
Much he does much more frequently than with the trans people, by the way.
Yeah, he does.
I really like Ricky Gervais' comedy, and I'm really a bit obsessed with his Cal Pilkington stuff as well.
He's a really funny guy.
I mean, the one that I watched, it was Humanity, the one before this one, because the new one, Supernature, right?
Humanity.
He was making, like, dead baby jokes and stuff.
You know, and I don't like the idea of dead babies, but at the same time, they were funny jokes.
But that's the thing, it's not breaking a taboo, really.
It's, like, not in the same way at all with the trans ideology.
Bleachdemon says Kathy Griffin with a fake Trump head.
It's just a joke, bro.
Ethan Klein calling to bomb the AR NRA. It's just a joke, bro.
Ricky Gervais makes the jokes about SPWs.
He's calling for violence, Rhi.
Yeah, it's transparent how it works.
I mean, I sometimes feel a bit bored even pointing out the hypocrisy because it's just like, they don't care.
They don't care about the slyest.
It's just about power.
It's all they're obsessed with.
So Lee B says, I absolutely would love to see them try and arrest Ricky Gervais for his illegal jokes.
That would be a wake-up call for a lot of people.
Yeah, frankly, it would be the best thing that could happen to the free speech movement in Britain in decades.
If Ricky Gervais was arrested tomorrow, the backlash would be so significant and so severe that it would actually reform this country for the better.
So yeah, I'm kind of in the mood.
So you're willing to sacrifice Ricky?
To be fair, it'd probably be inconveniencing him for a weekend.
And he'll think it's funny as well.
And we'll get some great sets out of it as well.
Actually, this is a win-win on every level.
I'm pretty sure he lives in the US now.
I know he had a house in California.
He probably lives between places, doesn't he?
Yeah, but I think he mostly lives in the States anyway, so he wouldn't even end up getting arrested.
I'm just saying, if there's a police officer, it is illegal.
Take one for the team, Mr.
Police Officer.
Yeah, I think Ricky would, to be honest, find it funny.
So Drew Doomhan says, Very much.
Callum Dayton says...
Yeah, that's true.
I also...
I don't know what it is with...
I don't know what you call them.
It's sort of like the 8 out of 10 Cats B team.
Like those comedians who are on rotation from the BBC or Channel 4 or whatnot.
Yeah.
And it's not all of them, but it's certainly some of them, as he mentions.
I'm just not impressed by Nish being probably the worst example.
I don't know if you saw the James A. Castor clip that John forced me to sit through last week when we were covering this, but he's definitely one of those guys.
He's not making jokes.
He's not saying anything funny.
He's just whining on stage.
It's awful.
It's not my kind of comedy, but whatever.
It's just amazing that the state keeps paying them.
Why are we surprised?
Lord Kev Croft says, I watched the Gervais special last night and the trans material is a tiny percentage of the 65 minute runtime.
Much like the people upset are at a tiny majority of the population, come to think of it.
Yeah, same argument there.
Tom Webster, Ricky took a dig at Ginger's.
Seeing as we're a smaller demographic than black people, replacing us, where's our special treatment?
There is none, because you don't have any souls, so no one cares.
Ginger name, Sloan.
Nishkum also has a ridiculously annoying laugh like a hyena on helium.
Yeah, Ricky Gervais is...
Sorry, not Ricky Gervais.
Who's the ventriloquist toy comedian?
Oh, I think I know the guy that you're on about.
Oh, what's his name?
Frankie Boyle used to do shows with him.
I can't remember the damn name now.
Just carry on with the story.
Who cares about his name?
Go for me, I like Ten Cats.
Because it's going to bug me otherwise.
I don't know his name.
The host of 8 out of 10 cats.
Sorry?
Jimmy Carr, there we go.
New gentleman.
Wait, Jimmy Carr did ventriloquists?
No, he looks like a creepy ventriloquist.
Oh, that's what you meant.
Oh, if I'd understood, I would have been able to say it.
Okay.
FreeWill2112 says, The main difference between Ricky Gervais and a lot of left-it comics is Gervais is funnier and also tries to be funny.
Well, no, he's funny in the first place.
Yeah, he just actually tries to, though, instead of just not.
Instead of being like, why am I not getting applause?
It's like, Nish, because you're shit.
Go away.
Shouldn't have sworn, but just...
Just to put a pin on it, you know?
Otherwise, we're out of time, so if you'd like more from us, lowseas.com, of course.
That's how we keep the lights on.
Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
