	Hello and welcome to the podcast load seaters for the 4th of October 2022.
	I'm joined by Harry.
	Hello!
	And today we'll be talking about how refusing gender ideology is terrorism, UK money madness, and also Kanye West comes out as a white man.
	Very proud of that.
	God bless, finally.
	So I suppose we'll start with refusing gender ideology is terrorism.
	So, the American system of tradition, of censorship, is going in full swing.
	If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, because you might have thought America as a place of freedom, and, you know, Second Amendment stuff and all the rest of it, that does all the hard work protecting the first.
	Ironically, you say, oh, the tradition of censorship, I think only a few years in something like 1798, a few years after the Constitution was ratified, one of the presidents, I forget exactly which one, put in a Sedition Act.
	I'm not surprised.
	Early statements.
	But in the modern era, you know, I thought this would be ridiculous, but no, because you remember during COVID, the US government worked with the social media giants.
	It has now been released, documented that they were the ones who were banning everyone.
	Like, literally, the government was asking, can you censor this person on Instagram?
	Zuckerberg said so.
	Yeah, and we have the emails back just saying, yeah, no problem.
	And then they did it.
	And this is now going to be expanded to anyone who refuses gender ideology, because they're a terrorist these days.
	Starting off, of course, just with an article on lotuses.com from Will Nolan, the universal asset of liberalism, which I'm going to be taken from because it's very relevant to what I'm going to be talking about, which is that, well, if you're truly a liberal, you must believe in the fact that you can escape...
	Reality itself, because reality is oppressing you.
	Or at least this is how modern leftists see themselves, in that vein.
	So we'll start off with the next link here, in which we can see the newest news, being from Liz and TikTok, just giving us an update on American schools.
	Are they still the same?
	Yeah, they are.
	It just seems to keep going on.
	As previously reported, an NEA has been distributing safe space badges to teachers across the country.
	The badge has a QR code that leads to sites containing sexually explicit content.
	Fantastic.
	I did see a meme about all of this, just the endless drivel that comes out that we see of just going for a job interview and the person's like, hmm, yes, I am a sexual degenerate and mentally ill.
	Oh, congratulations, you're going to be a teacher.
	That's the career's advice at this point.
	I'm not even going to go into this individual.
	It's just as normal as norm.
	And if we go to the next image, we can see the average American school with its big old board containing information about sexuality and gender, as they usually do.
	Yeah, traditional things.
	Traditional American things.
	But that's not the big news.
	The big news is that the Biden administration is now going to, presumably, take the advice of, as we can see here, the American Medical Association.
	Which is the, hmm, do you not like any of this?
	Do you not like that we're transitioning your kids?
	Well, it's terrorism.
	No day you say such things.
	I mean, they've already tried that sort of thing after the parents were complaining at parent-eater association meetings, so I'm not surprised that it's going further now.
	Yeah, now they have the medical establishment on their side.
	Why might the medical establishment do this?
	Money.
	Mr.
	Krabs, literally.
	Literally, I wonder if there's any massive amounts of money to be made in transitioning surgeries.
	We've gone over this with Matt Walsh's independent journalism, which, yeah, the entire surgery department can keep themselves afloat just with the, what is that, the penisplasties?
	Yeah, I think one of the best things to note from that, and I think it's also noted in Irreversible Damage, the book by Abigail Schreier as well that I've covered, and you can check out the coverage of that on the premium website, is that once you have gone through the surgery...
	It's not a one-time thing.
	You don't just go through the surgery and, congrats, you're a man now.
	You're a woman now.
	No, you're a patient for life, which means a nice, steady, recurring source of income.
	Which is very good.
	And that's why, if we go into this article here, we can see the American Medical Association is asking big tech and Department of Justice to censor, deplatform, investigate, and prosecute journalists who question the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries for minors, arguing that public criticism is disinformation.
	And he's not joking.
	He's highlighted the section here that is relevant.
	It starts off with...
	Coordinated attacks threaten federally protected rights to healthcare for patients and their families.
	The attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation, where a few high-profile users on social media share false and misleading information targeting individual physicians or hospitals, such as video evidence of your discussions internally, saying about how much money you're making off all of this.
	I mean, I'm sorry.
	That's not disinformation.
	Video evidence of you discussing how much money you're making from this and how you're going to continue doing this because it makes so much money.
	Video evidence and then also recorded calls that somebody like Libs of TikTok, for instance, has personally made to get information saying, by the way, are you willing to transition kids under 18 years old?
	Well, we don't do it often, but yes, we are.
	That's misinformation, Harry.
	I know it's an audio recording of reality, but that's, um...
	It's also terrorism.
	It's an obvious attempt to get those hospitals bombed.
	That's exactly what lives of TikTok intended all along.
	Our organizations have called technology companies to do more to prevent this.
	Practice on digital platforms.
	And we now urge your office to take swift action and to investigate and prosecute all organizations, individuals and entities responsible.
	So not only do we want all of Facebook, Twitter, etc.
	to delete all these folks, pointing out that you are doing what you're doing and you're doing it for cash, And now you want the government to step in and also prosecute people.
	Literally just criminalising opposition.
	Yeah.
	I don't know what to say.
	I mean, the thing is, you might think, they'll never do that.
	Except they did, during COVID. I mean, we have the emails released and have gone through previously, where the government literally just wrote to Facebook and whatnot and said, yeah, delete these people off the internet.
	Make these opinions illegal.
	So, Mark says on here, this is how the left's playbook goes.
	Last year, the National School Board Association, Department of Justice, and FBI worked together to label parents who opposed critical race theory domestic terrorists.
	They want to stifle dissent, suppress speech, and criminalize opposition.
	Yeah, 100%.
	This is exactly what they're doing.
	I don't know why else you would send a letter to the administration saying, yeah, can you start prosecuting anyone who calls out what we're doing by showing video evidence of us discussing it in private?
	Don't you know the public weren't meant to see those?
	I did like even Andrew Sullivan's response in here saying, evidence-based gender-affirming care equals experimental off-label sex change drugs, not FDA-approved for children with natural puberty.
	Yeah, yeah, that is what's going on.
	And once again, just to reaffirm, in the states where people are a bit more safeguarded against these sorts of things where the medical establishment isn't going to just hand over hormones and treatment surgeries as easily as they are in, say, a state like California, there are still independent actors online, some of whom I've had run-ins with, who are making hormones in bathtubs.
	DIY hormones and sending them illegally through the American postal system without parents' knowledge, permission to, you know, young minors.
	And they're not the terrorists.
	We're breaking bad now on hormones.
	Literally, that's what's going on.
	I mean, there's no RVs involved.
	It's mainly just bathtubs.
	Jesse, we're going to transition kids, Jesse.
	Mr.
	White.
	I took too much testosterone, Mr.
	White.
	Stop it, Jesse.
	But no, that's what's happening.
	These people aren't domestic terrorists.
	These people aren't, you know, being prosecuted by the establishment and institutions.
	No, it's the people saying, maybe let's not do that.
	Yeah, and instead, please stop breaking bad.
	But you can also see it here, just Christopher making the point, it's like, oh, let's ask our local fascism experts on Lefty Journo to tell us whether or not this is fascism, having the state literally collude with club corporations to shut down all opposition.
	Yeah, it is, in case you want to.
	However, you might also think, well, you know, that's maybe just the hospitals, so I can live without that.
	No, there's a lot of other things that, of course, will become terrorism in due time.
	Other things that, of course, come from gender ideology.
	The funniest of news stories about this in the United States I saw was this, which, you know, enjoy.
	two gay men who both attended law school filed a legal complaint against the city of New York, arguing that not having access to a woman's reproductive potential is a form of discrimination, and that they are entitled to have the city pay for a surrogate.
	Now, I don't want to sound like an insufferable leftist here, but where are the people saying Handmaiden's Tale?
	They say that about everything right-wingers do in regards to women's rights and other such things, but not when it's two gay men saying we literally have the right to own your womb.
	These two chaps are very strange, and I'm not going to go into their background.
	Don't say!
	I'm shocked!
	Yeah, I don't think this is all in good faith, to say the least.
	However, the argument is genuinely funny, because when you get down to it, you're absolutely right.
	I mean, I love the idea that a gay right now is a right to a woman.
	Gay men are hoarding our women!
	No, but you literally turn up to New York City and it's like, yeah, by the way, I'm entitled to a woman because I'm gay.
	I don't have a vagina, so give me one.
	Give me the womb, baby.
	And you're not even wrong, though, because the person says in here, quote, Gay men now want insurance companies to treat being born male as a disability.
	Or, as a protected category, one which requires paid compensation.
	They are protesting the unfairness of not being able to be born biologically female.
	So the gays have gone back to the 1950s, read some of the literature on gays, and gone, these guys got a point.
	Well, these two chaps.
	I'm eager to make that distinction because I think it is genuine.
	But also the point here, which is, yeah, why not?
	Why is being in a gay relationship not kind of some discrimination against being gay?
	Why are they not oppressed?
	Why shouldn't they have access to a woman as a race by not having children with gays?
	Well, they can't have children with gays.
	Exactly.
	Discrimination.
	They can always keep trying, though.
	I tell you what.
	Will's article is absolutely right.
	It's just denying reality.
	This is why I brought it up and why I think it's golden.
	I think Will is absolutely correct.
	People should go give that article I mentioned at the start of the read.
	Because, again, this is liberation from reality itself.
	Reality of me as a gay man with my gay partner not being able to have children because none of us have a vagina is oppression.
	And therefore, I am entitled to access to a woman, which the state will pay for, and she will be my surrogate.
	In my basement.
	If no woman signs up for this, presumably we then have to start conscripting women?
	Because it is a human right.
	It would be mass homophobia from the female sex.
	You don't want to be a surrogate for this gay relationship?
	Well, pretty homophobic, ladies.
	Lesbians not wanting to suck dick is now transphobia.
	Therefore, women not wanting to have gay men's children is homophobia.
	It all makes sense.
	It's the acid of liberalism, man.
	It really is.
	I think Will then genuinely is correct.
	The more I think about that article, the more I'm like, oh, that explains a lot.
	And amazingly enough, hopping back over the pond to the UK, we've actually done something similar, which is the, as you can see here from Human Rights Watch, remember it's a human right to get away from reality itself, England to end LBQ plus discrimination in access to fertility services.
	Coverage for single women and transgender people remains unclear, which we'll get back to by the point, I guess, to fix the reality again.
	So they've left out the gays and the trans here?
	Yeah, because we haven't got to New York levels of, well, a gay right to a woman is a gay right.
	I'm not saying that this applies to every gay couple, but I have seen a few sus stories in the news recently about gay couples with adopted children Well, there was the worst one.
	I forget the name.
	I've completely forgotten it now.
	But people will put it in the chat.
	There was that lesbian couple in California who were big Bernie bros.
	They adopted like eight kids of various racial backgrounds and they would take them to Bernie bro protests and be like, we're a happy family even though we're all different races.
	Like a don't hug me, I'm scared sketch.
	And just like a don't open me, I'm scared sketch, it ends horribly.
	Yeah, the two lesbians decided that the whole world was going to end because Donald Trump had been elected, so they put the kids in the minivan and drove into the sea.
	No, I think it was a bit more than just that.
	It was because of the fact that the Child Protective Services were starting to look into them because there were some very...
	They were insane.
	There were some very credible allegations of abuse coming from within that household, so instead of giving up the children, they decided to...
	Kill them all.
	Yeah.
	And themselves.
	I'm not saying that's indicative or anything, but it's just...
	No, of course not.
	There are some weird ideologues that engage in everything in the world, and I think the New York couple there probably are on the same vein of just like, what are you doing?
	It's a gay man's right to a woman.
	Literally the opposite.
	That's the whole point of being gay, I would have thought.
	Get away from women, whatever.
	So the article in here says, same-sex female couples seeking one cycle of NHS funding for veto fertilization are required to prove infertility by self-funding 12 rounds of artificial insemination.
	Including six in clinical settings, costing approximately £26,000.
	Which, yeah, you're only entitled to this under the NHS if you're infertile.
	Whereas if you're not infertile, then this isn't, like, taxpayer's problem.
	I don't think it's a taxpayer's problem either way, but whatever.
	Like, it is what it is.
	And it's that way because, you know, women don't make sperm.
	What?
	I know, news.
	This is a news channel, I'm told.
	Scientific discoveries.
	We're breaking some ground here.
	Yeah, so the lesbians were required to fund to see if they were infertile, and if they were infertile, then they get it for free, like the hetero couples.
	And for heterosexual couples, the requirement to prove infertility is two years of unprotected sex to prove that they're infertile.
	How do you...
	How do you prove it?
	What do you mean?
	How do you prove...
	I swear we've been having two years of...
	I don't think they're going to check.
	Okay.
	Do they request video footage?
	Anyway.
	Do it right now in front of me.
	Impregnate her right now.
	Of course, there are differences.
	There's a differentiation between heterosexuals and homosexuals, in this case lesbians, being that heterosexuals can produce sperm and eggs together.
	I'm still not sure.
	I think we need to consult the science on this.
	Yeah, which tells us we're wrong.
	Probably.
	In a few months, it will probably say that actually women can produce sperm.
	In fact, it does already, doesn't it?
	Probably.
	I know it does, actually.
	I'll remember that.
	Because if trans women are women, then women can actually produce sperm.
	But back to the point, which is differentiation is bad.
	We're not allowed to do that, of course.
	Oh, sorry, discrimination.
	We have to use the different words because if we actually say differentiation, we'll realise that all this is retarded.
	The new strategy removes the requirement for self-funding and states that female same-sex couples can now expect NHS coverage to start with six cycles of artificial insemination.
	So the heteros have to prove infertility, whereas lesbians are infertile because of their sexuality, in this sense.
	It's literally impossible.
	So they just get it for free.
	But the point there being, you may end up agreeing with that, perhaps.
	And in which case, why should the gay men not get state-funded waifus?
	They're also infertile, by bint of being born gay.
	In which case...
	I'm sorry, NHS waifus have to come forward and start serving gay men.
	I don't know what to say.
	It's fantastic.
	I love gender ideology.
	We can't differentiate between anything anymore.
	We're all just a nice, big, massive grey blob.
	If you're a gay couple on the chat, I want to state waifu.
	Let us know.
	Do you remember Futurama with the neutral planet where everybody's just neutral at everything?
	That's what we're turning into.
	You're not allowed to be different.
	Everyone has to be neutral.
	Somebody...
	I know we're about to die.
	Somebody tell my wife I said hello.
	We can't tell any difference between men and women, and now we can't even tell differences between gays and straights.
	They're just basically the same.
	Okay, right.
	Anyway, getting back to the gender ideology, because you may remember we laughed off the story with mermaids the other day, in which they're being investigated for child abuse.
	Big shock.
	Yep, funny that.
	Gender ideologues, always doing this.
	Thanks Hbomberguy for all the money.
	Mermaids said in court that they do not give out medical advice.
	Oh, that's good to know.
	After all the medical advice you've been giving out.
	Yet in these documents to new patients who contact mermaids, they say binders are safe to wear for up to eight hours a day.
	Hormone blockers are reversible, which is pretty dangerous rhetoric for non-professionals.
	It's not just dangerous rhetoric, those are lies.
	Yeah, it's also criminal.
	So, there's that as well.
	However, you may wonder where the story went from there because it seems to just get worse and worse for those folks in the UK. Well, pink news to the rescue.
	Oh, thank God.
	Someone is very...
	Riding in on horseback, ready to beat off the hordes.
	No, not like that.
	Odd choice of words, Harry.
	At least you said hordes.
	However, Pink News have decided that their favourite front group is under attack, and so they had to jump to defence.
	As you can see, they've published articles like this.
	What is chest binding, and how does it help LGBTQ people feel trans joy?
	I... I... I'll get back to it in a minute.
	I'll just say about that.
	I'll let you go through.
	Binders and the act of binding has horrified right-wing press...
	Yeah, and every other press when it was happening in Cameroon, but here it's fine.
	But for trans people who've used a binder, it can be a vital step in their journey to affirmation of who they really are.
	There are some potential risks when using a binder.
	Really?
	I thought it was for trans joy.
	I didn't think there were any risks.
	I'm shocked they've even admitted that.
	Yeah.
	But charities such as Mermaids are also able to give advice on safe use and best practice.
	Yeah, but they literally give wrong advice.
	They literally just say, it's perfectly fine, don't worry about it, bro.
	Eight hours a day won't be the problems.
	The irreversible damage.
	That'll be the problem.
	No, never mind.
	Anyway, we get a quote from a 27-year-old public relations specialist from Oregon, USA. I don't know why, they asked.
	A literal propagandist?
	Like, this is his...
	What do you think public relations is?
	Whatever.
	He comes out and says, having a flat chest was incredible beyond belief.
	We asked a literal propaganda agent, and that's what he had to say.
	Wearing a binder helped him feel a bit more at ease just living in the world at large, but it was always a low moment to take it off at the end of the day.
	I wish I could do it all the time.
	Right, okay, I've had enough pink news.
	Not reading any more of that.
	Most women I hear about have a great deal of joy when they can get home and finally take their bras off, but...
	No?
	No, isn't it good to wear it all the time?
	A whole other distinction.
	We'll get into some other point.
	But Pink News are also making adverts on their Instagram about this, which you can see there.
	Five ways to bind safely this summer?
	Don't.
	I thought it was safe.
	Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if you can click through the images there, John, just to get the family-friendly feel of the whole thing.
	Just the smiling cartoon character.
	That horribly annoying corporate art style that you see everywhere.
	Look at this.
	Look how joyous this is.
	Isn't this joyous?
	Isn't it fantastic?
	It's safe!
	Appropriately chunky body proportions, though.
	But the thing is, all of this just reminds me of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
	You've just been watching that.
	I've been watching it a lot.
	It's on the brain, but to be honest, when you're interacting with stuff that looks just like it, it's just like, huh.
	If you go to the next link here, I don't know if you've got the timestamp.
	Look how much water you could be full of water.
	It's not just me, right?
	That's so weird.
	If you go to the next link, we can see the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared episode.
	You remember this one?
	I don't know if you've seen it.
	This is the one where some...
	Yeah, no, I remember this.
	This is where he goes up in his...
	You'll describe it better.
	You're more familiar.
	Yeah, so this character turns up, who's a member of some love cult, who wants everyone to join the cult, change their name, scrub their brain, and become one of us.
	And he turns up advocating that the world's full of hate, but if you believe in love, come with me!
	Over the rainbow!
	Why do you do such a good cartoon character voice?
	Oh, it'd be fun.
	But it's just the fact of, yeah, I don't know if Don't Help Me More Scared is actually secretly based, but to be honest, more and more I look at the episodes and I'm like, huh.
	So, Hidden messaging here I didn't expect.
	I feel like there is some allegorical baseness possibly going on underneath.
	Yeah, there's some creepy sort of groomer psychopaths who keep turning up warning you about, oh, the whole world's full of hate, trust me, don't look into it.
	So come with me, we're the team of love.
	Now scrub your brain and change your name.
	There's literally a line.
	I mean, that does sound shockingly relevant.
	Anyway, getting back to that another time, we'll go forward, back to Pink News, who are also running into the defence, as you can see here.
	Top surgery dramatically increases quality of life for young trans adults, study finds.
	Do you believe this?
	No.
	No.
	It's going to be a hard sell.
	No, because...
	Cut off your tits, it'll be good for you.
	Something tells me that the science and those conducting these studies might be compromised.
	They might have an agenda they want to push.
	Not very trusting.
	Just trust me, it's good for them.
	And having looked into a few pro-trans studies myself, a lot of them have a few, shall we say, methodological issues.
	But if we move forward, we'll go to the next one, because the CEO of Pink News actually gets tied into all of this, as you can see here.
	So J.K. Rowling called him out.
	So by the way, the CEO of Pink News, his husband's on the Mermaids board as a trustee.
	He was in the past.
	He's like, huh.
	Yeah, that might explain all the simping.
	Unbiased.
	Yeah.
	So the CEO, Benjamin here, comes out and says, Now J.K. Rowling has mentioned me in a thread about this.
	Anthony was a trustee in Mermaids until he resigned many years ago.
	I have removed myself from her conversation as I have already received abuse.
	Right, okay.
	Yeah, you're receiving abuse.
	Someone mentioned you.
	Welcome to the internet.
	Someone said something mean about me online.
	Continues to whine.
	I've had to remove myself from another J.K. Rowling tweet following more abuse.
	Yeah, being called out is abuse.
	Contrary to J.K. Rowling's claims, barely any of the tens of thousands of content across Pink News ever mention her.
	She's obviously not that popular.
	I was like, huh, funny.
	Well, you can go to Pink News and just look up J.K. Rowling and then you get, yeah, a few results.
	Just a few.
	Yeah, yeah, just a few more.
	The abuse!
	The abuse is unbearable!
	Yeah, okay, whatever.
	Yeah, someone mentions you that as abuse, so you have been abusing J.K. Rowling for a long time, Mr.
	Benjamin.
	God, it goes on a bit.
	It really does!
	Well, um...
	Is it going to end?
	Nope.
	No, it just keeps going.
	Alright, we'll get back to that another time.
	We'll go to the next link.
	So I've got one more thing to mention, which is...
	Oh, breaking news!
	Just before we did this, trustee of the transgender charity Mermaids quits over speech to pedophile group.
	Call me shocked?
	Well, imagine my...
	Someone edit that in, please.
	Imagine my shock.
	Dr.
	Jacob Breslau was a graduate student in gender research.
	There's never been any association with nonces in that field.
	The London School of Economics he studied.
	Right?
	So he's a professional loser.
	And he gave a speech at an event for US-based group B4U-ACT in 2011.
	According to its website, B4U promotes services and resources for self-identified individuals who are sexually attracted to children.
	Right.
	Yeah, so, a paedophile group.
	Nonce defenders.
	Not even hiding it anymore.
	Breslau's presentation appeared to be a critique of how paedophiles are understood.
	Records show that the academic, who is now an assistant professor of gender at sexuality at the London School of Economics...
	You have kids at the London School of Economics, um...
	Remove them?
	I'd be worried.
	But he became a trustee of Mermaids, a transgender youth support charity, in July this year, because he wanted to help the youth.
	He wanted to be near children, for unrelated reasons.
	After the times approached Mermaids about Breslau's talk, he tenured his resignation as a trustee, but for some reasons didn't tell them before, if they knew they were happy to take him on.
	Although they said they were unaware, which I totally believe...
	And B4U calls itself a unique collaborative effort between minor attracted people, so children, and pedophiles.
	That's what they want to make normal.
	That's the new politically correct term for pedophile, yes.
	Wouldn't want to upset the pedos.
	And mental health professionals to promote communitarian and understanding between the two groups.
	I don't want communication between pedos and children.
	Can we go back to the episode of Brass Eye, where he just lists all of the terrible names you could call nonces, and just start bringing those...
	Small Bean Regarder.
	Yeah, that's the only one I remember.
	It's such a good one.
	It's such a stupid one.
	But there we have it.
	Yeah, the Brass Eye reality has come back, and it is true.
	And I'm just saying, maybe Don't Hug Me I'm Scared got a few points more than they thought they were doing in regards to the gender ideologues.
	Which, if you're criticised now, because you're a terrorist.
	Head of charity ends up noncing children.
	Scientists say this was the last thing we wanted to happen.
	We must get that man.
	He really is a sh...
	This man has been disguising himself as a hospital.
	No, as a school.
	That's the point, the modern version.
	He's been disguising himself as a clinic.
	Oh, yep.
	Oh, boy.
	Go on, I miss Brass Eye.
	Bloody hell.
	Alright then, so...
	Moving on to Rosier Pastors...
	Pastures.
	That was the wrong word.
	Moving on to rosier pastures, if I can speak properly, the UK has been going through a little bit of economic turmoil recently after Quasi Quarteng's September 23rd announcement of his mini-budget, which the Tories, in a usual display of strength and backbone and fortitude, have immediately U-turned on.
	So let's examine some of this, and just as a disclaimer, I am not a financier.
	This segment We'll include a lot of discussion of economics and financial issues, some of which I've had to acclimatise myself and familiarise myself with quite recently.
	So if I do get any details wrong, I apologise.
	I'm just trying to go through the information as best I can.
	But before we get on to something that, like the Tories, isn't particularly Conservative, you should all go check out Karl's recent critique of Jordan Peterson's Conservative Manifesto.
	Now, I don't know, have you watched...
	Karl's critique of it is very good, but have you seen the original manifesto?
	I've only seen part one.
	I've only seen sections.
	I haven't seen all that.
	It's not great.
	It's not great.
	I wouldn't call it conservative in the slightest.
	I would call it the classical liberal manifesto, which would have been fine if he just labelled it that, or even further, the Ayn Rand manifesto.
	It kind of came across like an objectivist screed that he was just yelling at the camera, which came across slightly abrasive, Wasn't particularly turning me on to all the ideas that he was putting forward, but Carl did a very good critique of that, and you should check that out, because I'll be honest, Jordan Peterson, the psychologist, the self-help guru, is someone that I can get behind.
	Jordan Peterson, the political commentator, not for me.
	Not for me.
	Don't know about your feelings on it, but not for me.
	I haven't seen the whole thing.
	Fair play.
	But let's carry on, shall we?
	So, just for a recap of what the mini-budget was that Quarteng announced on the 23rd of September, I've got this article from The Guardian.
	Shockingly enough, it's just going through the general details of that.
	So I thought, you know, useful article.
	So Kwarteng has said that his statement, the mini-budget will provide the biggest package in generations of tax cuts to send a clear signal that economic growth is the government's priority.
	It comes on top of plans to freeze household energy bills at £2,500 for a typical household.
	The Chancellor says that the government was never going to let households face soaring high energy bills caused by Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, telling people that help is coming with the rising cost of living.
	That will be relevant as we go on.
	You alright there?
	Yeah, I'm just annoyed by the cope endlessly of like, oh trust me, the war is the only reason we're in this mess.
	It's not.
	Every graph you see of the energy prices skyrocketing, and then war in Ukraine, and it's going to skyrocket a bit more.
	The trend is there already.
	Could you also say that the point where it starts to skyrocket is around the time we started to implement a lot of nonsensical net zero targets?
	And lockdowns.
	And lockdowns, of course.
	Almost like we've been cutting ourselves off at the knees for a good few years at this point.
	Because if you're Germany or something, where you get all your gas from Russia, of course this is higher percentage in effect, but in the UK graphs, it's like, no, you guys already caused this problem, now you're just trying to blame it on Russia?
	I'm not saying that Russia doesn't have...
	Yeah, Russia definitely has...
	Yeah, Russia definitely has an influence on it, but also we've not been doing ourselves any favours at all.
	But the 45% additional income rate tax ban for those earning more than £150,000 will be scrapped entirely.
	That was one of the big ones, one of the first ones in his speech, the income tax cuts.
	And for those in America, we know that you guys and the leftists in your country like to brag that you've actually got one of the most progressive tax cuts We've got it worse.
	I think in America, I was looking into it the other day, it's like something like $530,000 will get you a federal tax rate of 37%.
	In the UK, £150,000 will get you a tax rate of 45%, which means the government is going to be stealing...
	About half of every paycheck.
	About half of your income.
	But they were going to scrap that entirely and retain the 40% higher rate, which only begins at incomes of £50,271, which is still a ridiculously high tax rate for a relatively low income bracket, as far as I'm concerned.
	Are you alright there?
	I, whilst you were talking, just looked up highest tax rates in Europe.
	Hungary, 33% is the highest tax rate.
	That's it.
	anyway but Hungarian's too hard to learn anyway, aren't I? Yeah, so the Chancellor also said that he would bring forward a cut in the basic rate of income from 20% to 19% in April 2023.
	Yes!
	Are you ready to feel that 1% tax cut, Callum?
	I'm feeling it already, man.
	Oh, I'm already eyeing up some Lamborghinis myself.
	Wait, hang on a minute.
	Didn't they put up national insurance by 1.25?
	I think they're also planning on scrapping that.
	Oh.
	Oh, thank God.
	Yes, so maybe you'll be able to retain about 1% more of your money.
	Maybe.
	If they decide not to U-turn on that as well.
	Oh, no, I'll be starting a small business with that money.
	Oh, yeah, I'm going to be saving up for my mansion in the hills.
	Ooh, yeah.
	Quarteng also confirmed that the banker's bonus cap would be scrapped to reaffirm the UK's status as a leading financial centre.
	So hopefully you can already pick up a lot of these measures seem to be aimed with the intention of bringing business over to the UK, making it a more business-friendly country.
	Because, you know, if you bring your business over to the UK and you're getting taxed a lot and you're getting your banker's bonus or whatever capped off, you're not going to want to bring your business over here.
	The success of that is yet to be seen, but that is what they are intending.
	Corteng also says next year's increasing corporation tax from 19% to 25% will be cancelled and will remain at 19%.
	We will have the lowest rate of corporation tax in the G20. Reversing the tax rise, they say, will put £19 billion a year back into the economy.
	Stamp duty, cut for property buyers in England and Northern Ireland.
	I don't know.
	Screw you, you don't get your tax cut, we still get to take 40% of your income.
	But that's generally what they've been doing, and Korteng has been saying that the government will bring forward measures to streamline regulations and remove EU-derived laws as well.
	Chancellor confirms almost 40 investment zones will be created with tax breaks for businesses.
	So, yeah, trying to make the country a better place for business and investment.
	A lot of people were, however...
	Focusing almost entirely on the abolition of the upper tax bands for people.
	A lot of people, especially Guardian readers, were calling it tax cuts for the rich, oh this is going to be trickle-down economics, yada yada yada yada yada.
	A lot of people just were very angry about that, and that seems to have upset the government.
	Because the government don't like people saying bad things about them.
	But the reason that a lot of people get annoyed at this isn't necessarily as they always say.
	It's not because they love the poor.
	It's because they hate the rich.
	In fact, my missus got into an argument.
	I think I've mentioned this in the office.
	I don't know if you overheard yesterday.
	My missus over the weekend got into an argument with someone on Facebook because she's heard me enough around the flat just angrily muttering to myself about these sorts of things that she seems to have internalized some of it.
	Picking up the Mises Institute by muttering.
	Yes, she's been overhearing me listening to Hopper.
	But she saw someone, a friend of ours, posting that, just tax the rich!
	It's just that simple.
	Just that simple.
	If you tax the rich, all of their money, you won't scare them off to a tax haven or something.
	It'll just solve every problem.
	It'll fix my broken marriage if we just tax the rich.
	And she just commented underneath it saying, actually, that won't fix anything, and gave a few reasons to why.
	And he responded to that with, but it will make me feel better.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's beautifully masked off.
	That's all it really is about.
	It's just about, I hate the rich, I don't want them to be more successful with me, confiscate all the money, and then I'll feel better.
	I'll just tax everyone 100%.
	Because that'd be communism, and it'll make him feel better.
	Yeah, it'll make him feel better.
	But there were some actual genuine effects, very negative effects, after the announcement of this mini-budget.
	For instance, if we look here, we can already see that the value of the British pound has been steadily decreasing for a while.
	I wonder if it's anything to do with all of that money we've been pumping into the system constantly.
	But if you just hover over the end of it where it really takes a dip, you can see that that was at around the time when he gave that speech that it suddenly went from just gradually dropping, well not even gradually, just steeply declining to just falling off of a cliff.
	And then it starts to rebound a bit from the 27th and the 28th of September onwards.
	And there will be a reason for that, that I will explain, that I do not think will be an actual long-term solution to these problems, shall we say.
	Because the drop in the value of the British pound caused a lot of after-effects that have caused a lot of problems and a lot of worry for people in financial sectors, and a lot of people's investments, and a lot of people's pensions, which I will get onto in a moment.
	Before I do, though, I should probably give some background information, because I had to familiarise myself with a lot of this, and I think for those of you who are watching this who aren't informed, might find this useful for me to go over some of this information.
	Now, on gilts and yields, for those of you watching from America, gilts are the UK equivalent of bonds.
	They are, just bonds.
	Bonds are the government issues.
	And I've got some information here that I'll just read out.
	So when a country borrows money, it issues bonds, which global investors buy in exchange for regular and reliable income from the issuing nation.
	When they issue the bonds and they just get them bought, that gives a nice influx of money into the government that they can spend on public services and such.
	But then when eventually it comes to the point where you have to pay back those loans, that's when you start to have to print the money.
	Or just make the money, poof, out of nowhere.
	So it always comes back to bite people.
	Periodic interest payments are called coupons.
	The bonds are issued at a price known as par, for example £100.
	Set coupon paid over their duration and the initial capital invested repaid at the end.
	These bonds will then be traded on secondary markets and their price can rise or fall above or below their par value.
	The price of a bond has an inverse relationship to the yield paid.
	When bonds are out of favour and trade below par price, the buyer is purchasing the coupon payments at a discount and so yield rises.
	And vice versa, if bonds are in high demand, they may trade above.
	So, for example, they give here a £1,000 face value bond with a 2% coupon will pay £20 a year, a yield of 2%.
	But if it's on the market for a lower price, for instance £500...
	Obviously half of the face value, and you're still getting that £20 a year.
	The yield is 4%, so you're getting a higher return of investment.
	Very, very simple stuff.
	And in essence, the bank...
	Well, I'll get onto that in a moment.
	So...
	It carries on.
	The Financial Times have this article, how Quasi Quarteng's mini-budget broke the UK bond market, because that massive crash that we saw in the British pound was not good for the bond market and has some very, very nasty side effects.
	And the reason that the pound did crash after that was because of the fact that tax cuts were going on while the government is still trying to implement the energy price cap for households across the UK, which will cost Quarteng.
	Billions and billions of pounds because what they're doing is they're taking the market price that the energy companies would be paying, would be charging the customers actually, and they're making up the difference so that consumers and citizens across the UK don't have to pay exorbitant prices which will of course cost billions.
	So to fund that, they're going to have to borrow more money.
	And then the worry on the financial markets, the global markets, is that if they're cutting taxes, borrowing more money, they will be unable to pay that money back.
	So therefore the pound is devalued.
	All nice and simple.
	You following me?
	Because it's a bit complicated.
	I don't want to get a bit lost in the weeds.
	But it caused the pound to drop and the UK bond market has almost crashed with it.
	Five days after the mini-budget announced, the Bank of England decided to step in and prevent chaotic drops in gilts prices from stinging pension funds and threatening financial stability.
	A route that began with Quarteng's package of energy subsidies and tax cuts had threatened to snowball out of control as a £1.7 trillion slice of the UK's pension sector Which dominates the market for long-term government debt, struggled to cope with the unprecedented rise in bond yields because as a result of all of the pound dropping, all of a sudden all of these gilts were being sold off and the value of them was dropping, which was rising the yields.
	The strategies that many pension schemes use to shield retirees from inflation and interest rate risks were buckling under the strain.
	And on Wednesday, with turmoil at pension funds feeding a self-fulfilling downward spiral in guilt prices, the Bank of England halted plans to sell its bond holdings because the Bank of England had recently said that they were going to tighten up and do what's called quantitative tightening to make sure that money is tighter so that they're not being stung as much by inflation.
	And they've just reversed that entirely and instead announced bond purchases at a pace of up to 5 billion pounds a day for 13 days to restore order.
	So, 65 billion pounds in 13 days of quantitative easing.
	This is printing money.
	And this is meant to make things better, how?
	Because, well, what it is, it's incredibly short-term thinking.
	You know, at the end of the day, Quasi Quarteng's mini-budget did have some pretty disastrous short-term effects, but in the long term, I think it probably would have done some good for the country in Attracting business over and then building up tax revenues by having, you know, a smaller tax ban, yes, but if you've got more people paying in money to that, then you'll get more money overall.
	Very simple, logical stuff.
	But no, we can't have the market crash for even a single day because otherwise it will reveal that the entire financial system that the West is built off of is made up of papier-mâché and matchsticks.
	As far as I can tell.
	The more you start to look into this stuff, the more that you realise that the entire financial sector is just fraud.
	As far as I'm concerned, the whole thing is one fraud after another.
	Carrying on, though.
	Guilt prices immediately staged a rally, spurring the biggest ever one-day drop in 30-year yields from 5.06%, the highest in two decades, to 4.01%.
	In the days before the mini-budget, they stood at about 3.8%.
	percent.
	A further blow came over the weekend as the Chancellor shrugged off an ugly market reaction to promise even larger tax cuts in the future, deepening the bond sellout and sanding the pound sinking to an all-time low against the dollar at the start of the week.
	And I think that was actually kind of promising almost, the He was saying, okay, here's these tax cuts for the people in the top brackets.
	I promise there will be further tax cuts.
	Because I don't think anybody...
	Would anybody other than the financiers who freak out and bet all of our money on this stuff and basically bet the stability of our markets on this are going to say no to a tax cut?
	I wouldn't say no to a tax cut.
	You wouldn't say no to a tax cut.
	Jeremy Corbyn wouldn't say no to a tax shot.
	Well, he wouldn't publicly.
	No, but remember when someone asked him, okay, well, you can pay high taxes, just write a check.
	They refused to do it.
	That's true, that's true.
	A further blow came over the weekend as the Chancellor shrugged off an ugly market reaction to promise even...
	I just went off.
	on that part mortgage rates have shot higher but it was strains at UK pension funds that forced the Bank of England's hand because they had to raise the bank rates the interest rates in the UK meaning that people's mortgages and other such loans were negatively affected but at the same time it's actually a good thing to encourage more savings if you get more of an interest rate from saving your money then there's more incentive to do so in the long term cheaper bonds and higher yields are good for pension funds because they help them harvest returns for retirees
	but in the short terms soaring yields meant that thousands of pension funds face urgent demands for additional funds from investment managers to satisfy margin calls relating to hedging strategies and I've gone on to Investopedia and just to explain what a margin call is it occurs when a percentage of an investor's equity in a margin account falls below the broker's required amount at which point the broker demands that they sell off a bunch of assets so that they can retain the equity split So it basically just means that people would have had to sell off a lot of stuff.
	And it turns out that what has been happening in the pension funds side of the finance market for a very long time is all of that money that people have been putting into their pensions Hasn't been invested wisely.
	It's basically been used as collateral for incredibly risky loans and investments.
	So business as usual.
	Yes, business as usual.
	What has happened is it turns out that when the pensions were set up, it was set up at a time period where people were expected to die about five years after they retired anyway, and now we're not in that time period anymore.
	We're We're at a period where people can retire and on average live 10 to 20 years after.
	So all of a sudden, everybody realized that the pensions were massively underfunded for the actual amount of use that they were expected to get, and therefore they started putting them into these risky collateral loans to try and raise a bit more money.
	Except the second that the system receives a shock on that, everything comes falling apart.
	And as a result, the pensions watchdog has been called into emergency talks on UK market turmoil.
	Pensions regulator is for the first time has been drafted into a high level emergency talks led by the Treasury and Bank of England as they examine measures to calm financial markets in the wake of the meltdown, which covered, followed quasi-quartings mini budget.
	Don't you love that every single time a big financial problem occurs?
	The people who set up the committees to fix it are the people who caused all the problems in the first place.
	The pensions regulator, who, despite being the regulator, must have approved all of these incredibly risky loans done with people's pension funds.
	The Treasury, which has been very eager to print a lot of money over lockdown.
	And the Bank of England, who are more than happy to print all of that money for the government.
	These are the people that we want solving our financial woes, wouldn't you agree?
	The watchdog, which oversees the £1.5 trillion pension sector, is understood to have been summoned into a closed-door meeting with the Authority's Response Framework, ARF, which are triggered when an incident of threat could cause major disruption to the financial services in the UK. It's understood that this is the first time they've taken part.
	Experts say that the options likely to be considered to the forum include the creation of a backstop fund controlled by the Bank of England...
	I'm sure they'll do a fantastic job.
	To cover larger than expected collateral calls, a ban on the use of risky financial products that have been blamed for magnifying last week's crisis is also being examined.
	Does this not remind you of Thomas Sowell talking about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae allowing a lot of incredibly high-risk loans to go out for people buying first-time houses, which ended up collapsing the housing market, which ended up collapsing a lot more than just that?
	To be honest, it sounds like every single economic collapse.
	It really does, doesn't it?
	But those five...
	They carry on these products known as the Liability Driven Investments, or LDIs, which, having looked into them online, is very, very difficult to get any actual...
	Concrete details on what these involve.
	A lot of the YouTube videos I try to watch that explain them are mainly just jargon that is purposefully difficult to understand.
	So I can't really go too much into more detail about that.
	They have been widely used by most final salary pension funds managing the more than 1.5 trillion in savings to help hedge against the swings in value of some of their other investments.
	However, a plunge in the pound, collapse in the UK bond prices, triggers calls on funds, managers to provide more collateral on these complex contracts, meaning they had to sell assets to come up with cash at a short notice.
	But those fire cells further depressed prices, causing more volatility in the value of their assets.
	That in turn triggered larger collateral calls, sparking a much feared doom loop and creating concern about a drain on pension fund assets.
	Fantastic.
	Fantastic.
	And the people who caused all this are the people now brought in to solve the problem.
	Wonderful.
	Wonderful.
	Can't wait.
	And as we carry on, as I mentioned earlier, the Conservatives gave in to pressure, gave in to the lefties, and gave in to their buddies in the financial sector, and just immediately U-turned on something they announced slightly over a week ago.
	Quarteng confirmed the move to scrap the 45% tax rate was being abandoned following more than a week of criticism, which is just pathetic.
	The whole system is built with papier-mâché and toothpicks, as I said.
	So, I mean, this is going to happen every single time someone tries to do anything to remotely try and change the system whatsoever.
	It's going to happen eventually.
	It's going to happen sooner or later.
	That's just the fact of the matter.
	And they were too cowardly to just stick by their convictions and stick by their principles.
	Mr.
	Quarteng announced the U-turn on Monday morning saying it had become a distraction from our overriding mission to tackle the challenges facing our country.
	And as a result, I'm announcing we are not proceeding with the abolition of the 45% tax rate.
	We get it, and we have listened.
	Other Tories have also been revolting against the tax plans, with Grant Schrapps and Michael Gove criticizing the courts.
	Oh no!
	Not the imposing, terrifying figure of Michael Gove leaning over your shoulder.
	Just throw him out of the party at this point.
	Honestly, he's an embarrassment.
	Half of the Tory party is an embarrassment and I would throw them out if I was leader, personally, but that's just me.
	The U-turn on the 45% will be seen as a massive blow to the authority of the new Prime Minister and Chancellor.
	Yes, you look pathetic, you look weak, and you look stupid.
	And as a result of all of this, Liz Truss is now facing a full-scale Tory revolt.
	As this Mirror article says, she plots to cut benefits for the poor.
	Ooh, cutting benefits for the poor.
	Don't you want to hate the evil Tories because they just hate the poor?
	Prime Minister is looking at cancelling a vow...
	To raise welfare by inflation of about 10% next April, instead of using earnings growth of just over 5%.
	So, we're still raising benefits, just not as much as whiny lefties would like.
	But they want it 100%, so I just think...
	Yeah, and therefore, the Tories, the Conservative Party, have to revolt against the one person, the one leader, who, as much as Liz Truss is embarrassing, seems to at least be taking relatively conservative advice from her advisors.
	Thank you.
	Did I tell you what the Labour Party advice on this all was?
	I overheard at a conference.
	Tax the rich 100%, redistribute it to the poor.
	No, it was even more big-brained.
	It was the, if you increase benefits, you increase the economy.
	Oh, yes.
	Because, you know, there's more money in the system.
	So if we just increase benefits ad infinitum, the economy will just keep growing until we're as large as China.
	Yeah, if we just keep printing money over and over again, we'll just have more money.
	What could go wrong?
	Sounds genius to me.
	Once we're all billionaires, what's wrong with that?
	Yeah, just like Zimbabwe.
	They were all trillionaires, don't you know?
	They were all very rich and everything went well there, didn't it?
	But yes, along with that now, we've got Penny Mordaunt, Michael Gove, and lots and lots of others who are all lining up against her.
	And as far as I'm concerned, the Tories are not a real party.
	They are a den of infighting, of upper-class Eton Toffs.
	There is no confidence to be had in them.
	Maybe Truss and Quarteng...
	Could maybe try sticking to their convictions next time, if they get a next time, but here, they've obviously and clearly failed.
	That will move on to someone who's at least winning.
	Kanye's always winning.
	Sorry, I don't want to misname him, Ye.
	Does he actually go by Ye?
	He had it legally changed to Y-E, pronounced Ye.
	Genius.
	Anyway.
	Big brain.
	No, Ye comes out as white.
	He has decided he is a white man now.
	You may think that he officially declared himself a white man in the eyes of the left when he said slavery was a choice, but we'll get back to that another time.
	And instead, look at the big news, which is that he's worn a shirt.
	The shirt has a wrong thing on it.
	Did the shirt assault somebody?
	No, it says White Lives Matter, which is basically like...
	An uncontroversial statement.
	It's like that scene where John McClane is walking around with that sandwich board.
	Wait, you've seen a Die Hard movie?
	I've seen a lot of Die Hard movies.
	Oh, that's alright then.
	Even I've not watched all of them, because the last one was bloody awful.
	Speaking of terrible German ideas, so if you'd like to go and check out something on LotusEars.com, you've got to show something, so it'll be the Origins of Intersectionality, of course, that we did together, me and Carl, and it's very relevant to why people are so screech-worthy about Kanye West wearing a shirt that has a wrong thing on it.
	And I suppose we'll go to the first link, which tells us...
	Conservative pundit Candace Owens was also present and wearing one of those racist shirts.
	Don't give you an image of the shirt.
	They just give you a random image of Kanye West.
	Just don't look at the shirt.
	With a gum shield in?
	Yep.
	Don't know what the show was.
	Don't worry about it.
	They've just taken a picture of Kanye West looking slightly homeless and said his friend Candace Owens is racist.
	And him.
	Be outraged.
	We are the Daily Beast.
	We are a serious journalistic organisation.
	I think the next one isn't much better either, in which they decide to go with, yeah, fascism.
	Kanye West continues his long slide into fascism by wearing a White Lives Matter shirt.
	Mmm.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Good.
	It's always one way, never the other.
	That was Heather's favourite shirt.
	And I do love that he did decide to do this.
	Which, of course, the response is just panic.
	Because if this becomes part of the mainstream, which is the, yeah, what if you say the opposite?
	Well, that's fascism.
	Okay, well then Black Lives Matter is fascism and needs to be killed.
	I know.
	The good Good thing.
	I know some people worry about focusing on celebrities, and Connor did his segment the other week about Kanye West secretly, well, not secretly, but just being based, which, I don't know, this seems pretty based, for such an incredibly controversial public figure to come out wearing a controversial shirt, which is sadly controversial, that says White Lives Matter.
	Civil rights are controversial.
	I don't think you can say that Kanye West is anything like inauthentic.
	No, I don't think you can.
	And I think the responses are certainly interesting and waking up a lot of people.
	If you go to the next one here, we can see lots more just verified check marks who decided to just take an L. Oh, not this guy.
	I can't remember this guy.
	He just comes out and says, Kanye West's decision to wear White Lives Matter shirt is disgusting, dangerous, and irresponsible.
	Some of y'all will rush to defend him.
	You should ask yourselves why.
	Because he did nothing wrong.
	That'll be why.
	It's a pretty reasonable statement.
	What's wrong with it?
	How's precisely what's wrong with it?
	Huh?
	Oh, there's some kind of ideology behind it.
	Okay, in which case then we can say there's some kind of ideology behind Black.
	There is no way out for them here.
	Like, they've just trapped themselves in such a box that as soon as it's actually presented with something in the mainstream, like this, a shirt that says White Lives Matter, they S themselves.
	Because, like, you've seen small protests, and you're like, there are some white nationalist groups who have done this, or slight things where it's like, you know, imagine at the other side.
	But to have such a prominent example in American culture pop up, certainly doesn't have an impact.
	I think it's a good thing, and also I'm just wondering now, when will it be that Kanye, that Ye, sorry, don't want to be rude, gets his N-word pass revoked?
	I think now.
	It must be now.
	Now he is only superficially black.
	He is no longer a black man.
	If we go to the next one here, we can see someone making the obvious point, which is Kanye is proving once again that the only thing the keepers of the culture, police, is unapproved political thought.
	You can rap about killing black men or degrading black women and get a PhD level defense, but don a MAGA hat or a White Lives Matter shirt and suddenly they find a moral compass and they shh themselves about like, oh crap, people are gonna hear the message and then realize we're a bunch of frauds who just steal money in light of them.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I thought it was obvious.
	It is your sixth mansion, after all.
	If we continue, we can see more of this.
	And just screeching, which...
	Very much enjoyable.
	So many folks are trying to excuse Kanye wearing a White Lives Matter shirt.
	That's just a troll.
	I don't think it's a troll.
	Or marketing.
	I don't think it's marketing either.
	Maybe it is.
	But it's dangerously dumb message to send to someone with his massive platform.
	I've been off, dude, but y'all are go-aheads labeling his foolishness as genius.
	Like, where's the dangerous aspect?
	We're dangerous about this.
	You think cities around America are all going to be burned down now?
	I'm sorry, more than- I think many black- sorry, no, many white men are going to start killing other white men in the riots that proceed?
	No.
	There's no danger.
	I really hate that it's kind of in vogue for people on this side of the culture wall to tweet using language that makes them sound like retards.
	I've been off, dude, but you'll go head-labeling.
	Shut up!
	I know my reading's bad, but no, I'm not reading it wrong.
	That's genuinely how these people are writing.
	Matt Walsh, of course, chimes in very well.
	If you go to this one, you can see he argues with it for a bit, and then gets down to the point.
	He's like, well, you said it was dangerous.
	Please explain how it could possibly be dangerous.
	The danger is to the ideology.
	No one is going to die in riots.
	No one is going to die looting or anything of the sort.
	Instead, it's your ideological position that is just ashes at this point.
	I don't think anyone respects any of this.
	Also, the tweet he's responding to starting off with, you truly don't have the range for this, which all it means is you're white, you're not allowed to talk about it.
	It's racial gatekeeping over particular subjects.
	Thought Matt Walsh was a woman.
	Anyway.
	Good point.
	We'll go forwards, because there's more of this as well.
	If we already have this one, actually, so we'll move on to Jaden Smith, who apparently was at the event where Kanye came out wearing his shirt and just randomly tweets out Black Lives Matter like an NPC. 5,000 likes.
	This is his only response.
	Smash, like, and subscribe.
	I can see why Will Smith is so disappointed.
	And then some random rap TV. Jaden's reaction to Kanye West's shirt.
	60,000 likes.
	I hate to use it, but people are sheep.
	People really are sheep a lot of the time.
	A lot of, certainly, American leftists are just NPCs.
	I mean, the meme is real.
	It's not a joke.
	When we talk about leftists tweeting NPC stuff, instead of saying they're tweeting, can we say they're bleating?
	They are bleating.
	But then, well, that's an event that took place.
	You have Kanye come out and say White Lives Matter with his shirt, and the left, of course, lose their mind.
	They are very in danger, as they put it, because their ideology is, again, being obviously ridiculed.
	Words literally murder now.
	Yep, there's that as well.
	But I thought we'd go back to the real world and see, as I mentioned before...
	I don't think that this shirt or the message is actually just a funny maymay.
	Like, genuinely, I'm going to start calling it more and more an act of civil rights, and it's the unpopular thing to do, which saying Black Lives Matter certainly isn't.
	It'll just get you a million dollars from Disney or whoever else.
	Because we have this story from the UK. Girl 14, beaten after asking if people who weren't black could also be victims of racism.
	I guess the answer was yes.
	Is she a victim?
	I know we beat her up, but she's still not a victim.
	Did anybody say nasty things to her?
	Probably while they were beating her up, but that still doesn't count.
	Nasty words only happen when they come from demelinated mouths.
	The father said she was taking refuge in a toilet cubicle.
	This is after they had to lay out some context.
	So they had a school discussion about Black Lives Matter, because the schools are, even in the UK, apparently mad.
	And decided, well, that guy in America died, so let's all have a circle time about this.
	No, no, no.
	It's not just that the guy in America died.
	They're trying to...
	Have you seen that they're trying to basically turn Chris Cabba into the British George Floyd?
	That's not relevant to this context of this discussion.
	It will be when they eventually martyr him.
	Maybe, but it wasn't when...
	Yeah, I know, I know.
	So they have this circle time, and then she mentions, well, is it the case that non-black people can also be victims of racism?
	And everyone just starts disagreeing with her, and she's like, why are you booing me?
	I'm right.
	And then she ends up taking refuge in a toilet cubicle on break time when some girls banged on the door and said that if she didn't come out, they would beat up her sister.
	She came out, and this particular girl, known for her violence, laid into my daughter, punching and kicking her to the ground and pulling her hair out.
	The brutal assault was allegedly filmed by the assailant's friends and then uploaded to social media.
	Rookie mistake.
	I don't know why kids keep doing this, but thanks, I guess, because now we have video evidence of...
	The person doing this.
	Kids dumb, big shook.
	So there's some girl, prone to violence, don't know anything about her, but she decided to beat up the white 14-year-old girl, sounds like a hate crime to me, for asking the question, can I also be a victim of racism?
	And as this girl is punching the lights out of this other girl, pulling out her hair, going, no, you stupid slag, you're not a victim.
	I don't know.
	This is how these people behave, I guess.
	The teenager's parents decided not to press charges.
	Because we took the moral view that we didn't want to criminalise a 14-year-old.
	Big mistake.
	Yep.
	She got away with it.
	Yeah, 100% mistake.
	What do you think happened next?
	Everyone learnt their lesson and the 14-year-old went on to grow up and be a functioning member of society?
	Everybody held hands across America?
	No.
	The young student moved schools in February in an attempt to rebuild her confidence and life.
	Poor girl.
	However, she bumped into the girls from her old school while out in the town centre and was once again mercilessly beaten.
	I mean, there's no comedy.
	No.
	Just hell.
	This is the real world.
	This is about where we actually live.
	There is not gangs of white men out lynching black folks in the South.
	Like, that's not a thing.
	This is long, long, long since gone.
	You don't even know anyone who was ever living in that time period, probably.
	And that's where the BLM folks live.
	You have Jaden, who's all of, what, like five, and thinks that he lives in KKK land.
	Certainly mentally five years old.
	And then we have the reality of the world, which is even questioning, can I be a victim of racism?
	I am white and being abused for being white.
	No, no, no, we will tell you no, as we beat you.
	The attack in the town centre was actually captured on CCTV, and the parents this time decided to press charges.
	But no charges were brought, because it was decided that the child was a juvenile, and therefore it would be wrong to do so, according to the police.
	Right.
	So there just is no justice.
	They've got to do it again.
	The police just didn't want to be called racist for charging what I assume is a black teenage girl.
	I have no idea.
	Who would know?
	Who could imagine?
	Anyway, going on to the real world some more.
	We go back across the pond to the United States.
	We have just an example of another person trying to live their life.
	And, well, what happened?
	As a white person, she wasn't having a good time with it.
	I was asked to agree to a white people are racist contract at work.
	Why didn't you, Nicole?
	Just accept it.
	Accept your fate.
	Diversity, equity, and inclusion sessions were set up where we had affinity groups where staff were separated out into groups based on ethnicity.
	For example, into a white group and a black group.
	I was told that I had to attend a white affinity group meeting, but eventually I was given permission not to attend because I didn't really agree with being separated by race.
	Again, just life in the West.
	Another person goes to work, what happens?
	They get separated by race, and then told that they're in the white affinity group.
	Well, I mean...
	Just live your life.
	Right, take the logic all the way, okay?
	White people are inherently racist, we need to segregate all of these people so that we can re-educate them, but the results have always shown that re-education does not actually work.
	So, the only logical solution to this, if you believe that white people are just inherently going to oppress all of the other races around them, is to just make separate opposites for all of the different races.
	In the name of...
	Racial inclusion.
	We shall separate the races once again.
	We have achieved peace.
	Funny way of achieving peace, but that's how the left wing won it.
	She says in here, I also felt that as a Jew, and the last thing I wanted to be done was separated by my race, which, yeah, well, too bad, lady.
	I love how in the United States, at least in these circles, they always just break down to white and black.
	They never go any further than that.
	So you put the Serbians and the Albanians together in the same room, and they're like, yeah, you're the same guys, right?
	They just sort of look at each other like "Shhhhh!" "At one point I had requested that an article on antisemitism be introduced to the company's anti-racism resources, where they also included information on Islamophobia and other prejudices experienced by minorities.
	My request was denied." Too bad.
	Alright.
	Yeah, truly, truly left-wing world.
	Can you not?
	Sweet.
	Bernie Sanders is like, finally.
	Jeremy Corbyn is like, our brothers.
	Can that one guy in the Labour Party finally stop giving that speech?
	Yeah, he can stop saying, Rashoshana?
	I don't know.
	Please stop being horrible to Jews, guys.
	My company has said that they had spoken out against anti-Semitism, but when I replied to an email about the subject, it created a big firestorm where my motivations and timing were questioned, with some people suggesting that I was highlighting black perpetrators of anti-Semitism in order to sow division.
	But were they actually being mean?
	Whenever we read some story, essentially in the book clubs, of some horror land of the East in which people are being treated like this for your sowing division within the party for suggesting that maybe everyone starving isn't real communism...
	In the West, we have our same situation.
	It's just far more evil because you're made to feel like you're free at the same time.
	You suggesting that we talk about anti-Semitism is you being anti-black.
	Why?
	Because you think that all the people beating up Jews are black.
	It's like, I didn't mention any of that.
	You brought that out.
	You've been on Twitter seeing videos of it, haven't you?
	Yeah.
	Oh well.
	FBI statistics proven right again.
	Meanwhile, one of the trainings I was given noted that white supremacy is a smog we must all ingest.
	Sounds like a cult.
	Just drink the punch.
	It really does send you a cup full of smoke to imbibe the white supremacy.
	It's just nook.
	Another was about how our organisation was complicit in systemic racism and white supremacy and shut down the company.
	No, you won't.
	Okay.
	I was given...
	Sorry, it was given that if you were right, you were racist, and I was even asked to agree to a full-value contract shared over email that included a point saying that we had to own that all white people are racist and that I am not an exemption.
	This is just hell.
	This is just hell on earth.
	I'm sorry, but this is not any kind of freedom in the slightest.
	Even just, like, I don't want to sound like a commie, but...
	My workers' rights, for what?
	I mean, this is an awful way to treat your staff members, especially if you're going to be the person who probably knows all of these people personally as well.
	You know them.
	You may even consider them your friends, and then you're also saying, sign this contract that says you're racist, but you know I'm not racist personally.
	Ah, a contract says you're racist.
	But even just the conversation of, oh, all kinds of discrimination.
	Oh yeah, I'm Jewish.
	That happens to me for being a Jew.
	You're a Jew.
	We're not including that.
	Again, don't hug me, I'm scared territory, where it's like, we're all about love.
	Jordan!
	I'm sorry, I love that this is your go-to reference point now.
	It just keeps happening.
	I mean, it works, but still.
	I was eventually told that I had to attend a meeting with the DAI consultants...
	Look, tell me I'm wrong.
	Well, no, Gazsad is absolutely right.
	Which, my company suggests, was presented as an alternative to me going back to the White Affinity Group.
	I chose to attend the meeting with the dye consultant...
	The Carehound.
	I would describe the meeting as my thoughts being probed with an attempt to reform them, despite the fact that my company describes it as an opportunity to support me.
	Welcome to the support group.
	Change your mind.
	LAUGHTER We will support you agreeing with us.
	I recall that the meeting was to see whether I am safe to be around my colleagues and clients of colour.
	They were testing to see...
	Here's a picture of a black person.
	If you hold this picture of a child up in front of a pedophile, they'll attack it.
	This is hell.
	This is actual hell.
	And Kanye West wearing that shirt is not just a funny maymay.
	People putting up those stickers saying it's okay to be white is not just a funny maymay.
	Unironically, I think that there is genuinely a case for the West needing some kind of civil rights legislation to defend white people in the United States and elsewhere from this kind of treatment.
	The prevailing culture is anti-white.
	It's all the time.
	And this shouldn't be legal.
	I don't think it is legal, but even if it's not the case, I need stronger laws, to say the least.
	And then we just remember BLM. Well, the reason all of this is a thing.
	What are they up to?
	I mean, last we heard, they were stealing money.
	And apparently, that's why Kanye did this.
	If we go to the next link, we can see the Daily Mail listing.
	If we scroll down to the image he put up on his Instagram, he literally just tells us, Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam.
	Now it's over.
	You're welcome.
	Based.
	Why does Kanye just keep winning me over, day by day, every single time?
	Everything about that is fantastic.
	The small text, the font, the thin lines, I'm sorry.
	It's so matter-of-fact as well.
	Yeah, to be kind of pedantic about it, but just everything about that I love.
	There's nothing else going on.
	It's like the end of a credit scene or something, which is like, here's the reality, shut up, loser.
	And Kanye doesn't read either.
	If we got him an Audible subscription...
	With a load of Thomas Sowell books just preloaded onto there, he'd be unstoppable.
	No one man should have on it.
	But we're going to BLM, because in case you're wondering what they actually do, they've stolen all the money.
	They have here their latest activism.
	A whole few tweets.
	Hoax.
	I can't get over it.
	If you hover over the account, I know I do this every time, but just, you know, 97 likes.
	How many followers?
	1 million.
	Oh, followed by me!
	You're a commie.
	But if we go back to the tweet, they have them saying here, we're not going to...
	Sorry.
	What we're not going to do is forget about this young black woman imprisoned far from home with every tool at our disposal.
	We're going to fight to bring her back to her loved ones.
	Oh god.
	Some another oppressed martyr for BLM. Who is it?
	Go to the next link.
	We can find out.
	It's that girl who went to Russia with weed.
	That's the newest martyr, is it?
	You couldn't even find someone who's taking the piss in the US. You went for someone taking the piss in Russia.
	That'd be really stupid.
	That would be a huge waste of time for your own movement.
	And their own propaganda I read through this morning just sounds tired at this point.
	I suppose we'll enjoy some of it.
	Go to the link.
	Sorry.
	When a black person's name becomes a hashtag, it's rarely for a good reason.
	Great start.
	Moving on.
	Great start.
	Such is the case of Brittany Grinner.
	Grinner?
	It's Brittany, bitch.
	The tall, bespeckled basketball player who has been wrongfully detained in Russia since February 17th, 2022, after being arrested and charged with carrying vape cartridges containing less than a gram of cannabis oil in her luggage.
	So they'll be rightfully detained, then.
	You can't take weed to the Russian Federation.
	You know this.
	Everyone knows this.
	Everyone knows the Russians don't mess about.
	Nobody thought this was going to be like, oh, isn't it just like America where we can just do what we want?
	No.
	No, it's not.
	I mean, I will agree...
	This is why no one has any sympathy for it.
	I will agree that being sentenced to nine years in prison over such a thing is not proportional whatsoever, whether or not it was against the law.
	It's not how I'd run my country.
	But it's not my country.
	And I think the focus and the framing on it being black queer woman is much less to do with it than the fact that she just broke the law.
	Yeah, but I can't get over how people are so shocked.
	It's like, oh my god, she knew the law and broke it, and now she's being punished?
	I was like, yeah.
	Yeah, shock.
	I mean, I wouldn't try and sneak too much paracetamol into Russia.
	I'd wipe my phone before I went to Russia again.
	Like, what's wrong with you?
	Anyway, so there's that.
	Of course, they then go on to write, last week, this black queer woman was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison.
	Yeah, that's the only reason they care.
	Black queer woman.
	If this was anyone else with the same laws, same circumstances, they wouldn't give a crap.
	Though the unconscionable racial and gender disparities were immediately crystal clear as soon as we heard of the arrest, I found myself struggling how to explain it to my seven-year-old.
	Why?
	Why would you...
	What the hell's wrong?
	He's trying to go out and play with trains or something.
	Don't...
	Don't tell your kids about that when a 7 Christ!
	I want him to know Britney's name!
	This is kind of an infantilisation of adults and parents, because it's not...
	Kids don't come to you for support anymore.
	You run to your children, oh, the most terrible thing ever happened.
	They put their little hand on you, like, what's up, mum?
	Yeah, the 7-year-old is hugging at you, like...
	But more importantly, I want him to be able to take a brave stand if he hears his friends parroting untruths about her that they themselves may be overhearing.
	It's like, okay, I mean, you've just imagined the situation, that your seven-year-old son is hanging out with his friends, they're trading Kit Kats, or whatever, and then one of them's like, I say, chaps...
	Have you heard about the racial injustice in Russia?
	No, the dude wants to go out on the bike with his friends.
	This isn't happening.
	So, shut up.
	I want to tell my son about Brittany.
	Yeah, it's all about you again.
	And then your son clapped.
	To show him that we're not going to forget about this young black woman imprisoned far from home.
	He will.
	Within five minutes.
	He won't listen.
	He don't care.
	But also just, Jesus lady, get out.
	Go fishing or something.
	Dude, just be normal.
	You are right.
	This is a particularly lame attempt at the sort of rhetoric that Black Lives Matter, you know, credit where it's due, used to be quite good at, the sort of inflammatory, emotional rhetoric.
	But this is what happens with any organisation when they shift as much as BLM do.
	The only people left aren't actually talented at what they do.
	They're just loyal.
	They're not even good propagandists anymore.
	Yeah.
	They're just like, oh yeah, this girl that no one cares about, what about her?
	It's like, Wasting your own time.
	You're not going to get any more donations out of that, for sure.
	And just to remember that, of course, as we've covered before, Joe Biden, Joe Biden, decided to come out and offer to swap the fucking Lord of War himself in exchange for this girl...
	man, no one would have cared at all, not even BLM, and everyone would have moved on.
	And instead, because she is a black queer woman, we were offering the Lord of War, the Merchant of Death, in exchange for retard who took weed to Russia.
	What other person would get such It is entirely because of her identity characteristics that she is getting this kind of support.
	And, well, of course, lazy support as it is from BLM. And to go back to the reality, and why I think Kanye West's thing is more than it is, just to mention, I know I have a million times, I'm not going to stop mentioning it until this stops, because living in Britain, this is where I live.
	As you can see here, we just have endless jobs, only available to people who are brown.
	Literal diversity requirements.
	This one to work for MI5, MI6, and the SIS. Nothing important.
	Like the Defence of the Realm.
	Anyway.
	We have the Civil Service, of course, as well.
	So if we go to the next one, we have any role within the Civil Service.
	Yeah, fantastic.
	It's got its diversity requirements.
	And if we go to the next one, we have the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, which also has their own diversity hires.
	It's like, great!
	Well, I mean, to be fair, the English countryside does have a white people problem.
	Yeah.
	We've learned time and time again...
	Even Kanye West can see through all of this, I think.
	Thank God.
	Noting that BLM was a scam, for one, but I don't think he's also ignorant of the quote-unquote right privilege that exists.
	I know exactly where this is going now.
	Yeah.
	You know, someone is ignorant of all this.
	Willfully so, you could almost say.
	Yeah, the Conservatives.
	Where else?
	But I thought I'd have to hand it off.
	And not just any particular Conservatives.
	Good old Steve Baker.
	Besides the tale, everyone at Conservative Conference, that the footballers aren't taking the knee for neo-Marxism.
	It's a statement of solidarity.
	You know that's a lie, Steve.
	Dude, your own government, the one you're in charge of, actively discriminates against white applicants for jobs.
	What do you want?
	What evidence do you want?
	And I suppose I'll end this off with, yay, wherever you are, wherever you may be.
	Come to the UK. You need a UK tour.
	Just wear that shirt everywhere.
	Go meet Steve Baker.
	He won't turn it down.
	I'll just be like, oi, stop it.
	Listen, yay.
	I know that your presidential run in 2020 wasn't great, but if you came over here, joined the Conservative Party, you know, maybe you'd win a few votes.
	PM within four years.
	Yep.
	Otherwise, that's that.
	Let's go to the video comments.
	Why is the gall of the LA school systems basically having all these fat nutritionist diversity hires come out and say that eating donuts all the time is perfectly healthy?
	It was funny seeing all of the activist class, the cogs were kind of turning in their heads, where they're noticing that they're parroting the same philosophy that every evil corporation is saying.
	Kind of like in that stone-tossed comic with the tug-of-war.
	Granted, they all wave it off in the end, but it was interesting to see the disquiet at that moment.
	I do love the Simpsons reference there, the biggest sugar episode.
	I don't know if you remember that.
	I think I do.
	Is that where they...
	No, you're going to remind me.
	The big evil sugar companies are trying to propagandise the public into accepting that eating sugar is good for you, and everyone gets super fat, and then they start to pretend everything is fine.
	It's like...
	Yeah, I think I do remember that.
	With the LA school system...
	They're all a bunch of tobacco salesmen.
	That's how we should see them.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm going to, you know, jump onto a particular train of thought that's being put forward on Twitter at the moment and just claim that this is Lizzo nationalism.
	It is.
	I'm trying to avoid that Lizzo stuff.
	It's true, though, man.
	She got to play James Madison's flute, dude.
	I know.
	The US is a joke.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah it is.
	I don't know what to say.
	I'm just so desperately avoiding all of that because it's just so painful to watch.
	Let's go to the next video, comment.
	I've just seen the trailer for The Last of Us, and while Pablo Escobar is a good actor, he still doesn't feel like Joel, nor does Liana Mormont feel like the foul-mouthed Ellie we've played alongside in the game.
	I've got mixed reactions to the footage, since it seems to be taking for the best and most important parts of the game, but it also looks cheap, since a game can do what a live-action film never can.
	Not to mention that trailer contains the words, Save Who You Can, which is the exact opposite of the game's entire tone.
	Ultimately, I think that's my objection.
	This is a story told through the medium of a video game.
	Stop trying to bastardise it by filming it.
	Yeah, I completely agree.
	A lot of video games don't need a movie.
	I don't know why people keep doing it.
	I wasn't interested in it.
	I think a lot of people, when The Last of Us first came out, were like, oh my god, this would just work way better if it was just a TV show or a film, and this is going to prove that that is absolutely wrong.
	So bollocks.
	One of the ways that you get invested is through the gameplay, feeling like you're in the moment, feeling like you're there with the character, seeing the little interactions that you have during tense moments that you won't have time for necessarily in a TV show or something, so just, no.
	Terrible idea.
	Go to the next one.
	Hey, Dean Littlejohn with another Legend from the Lotus Eaters.
	This one's from Baron Von Warhawk, who's attending Marshall University in West Virginia.
	It's an extremely haunted campus with many different ghosts, including that of a theater director from the 1920s.
	He appears as a heavyset man, well-dressed, and just...
	Disappears.
	He disappeared under mysterious circumstances back then.
	No one knows what happened to him, but oddly enough, the university received mysterious invoices in the 1980s signed by the missing director.
	What do you think, Callum?
	Wasn't you over yet?
	Not a believer.
	I don't know how many more of these.
	Baron von Warhawk best watch your back, though, just in case.
	Ugh.
	Every time we do whatever, whoever sat there turns to me and goes, yeah, you believe now?
	And I'm just like, no!
	Damn, we'll catch you eventually.
	Next one.
	Cultures under existential stress attempt to revitalize themselves by returning to their roots.
	When this is not possible for some reason, the attempt turns into something called a ghost dance, which is when the culture triples down on bringing the magic back, and it didn't work, so we'll try again even harder now, damn it.
	Which brings us to modern leftism.
	Clown world is a manifestation of the progressive ideology reaching its ghost dance phase after a century of absolute cultural dominance.
	This is very clear with the environmentalist fruitcakes, but also in little tales like the glee in the early days of COVID that it would be a great coming together of the nation like in World War II. Quite a good way of looking at it.
	Like, once a movement's got everything at once, like most of the leftists, they're still trying to play off with some kind of resistance.
	Yeah, it does naturally become Clown World.
	Well, yeah, I think it's just an aspect of the permanent revolution.
	You've always got to be tearing down what came before, even if what came before was the progressive hegemon.
	With that, we'll go to the written comments on the site.
	So, Carl Gardner says, make Brass Eye Fiction again.
	No, I want more episodes of Brass Eye.
	Please, please do it.
	You've got so much material to work with.
	I think Chris Morris is still alive, isn't he?
	Yeah, he's still alive.
	Still got a weird face, but he's still alive.
	You mentioned the face.
	Have you not seen his face?
	Yeah, of course I've seen his face, but we don't bring it up!
	Yeah, okay.
	I'm sorry.
	Anyway, sorry, just messing with you.
	Refusing gender ideology being terrorism, so Sophie Liv Peterson says there was a moment fighting for women's rights once.
	We need to start talking about women's wrongs.
	No, um...
	I know, Carl's probably going to have a segment on that tomorrow.
	Yeah, but I just love how gay rights have become a right to a woman.
	What?
	You're gay.
	Sorry, maybe it's just me, but I still find that sentence just unbelievably funny.
	Omar Awad says, I'm just waiting until somebody reaches the conclusion that if you can force a woman to give birth for you, well, trans men also have wombs.
	Just saying.
	Oh, um...
	No, they won't be included, because men have more rights, and this will be an example.
	It's a way out of the conversation, which is, what do you mean gay men can't have women?
	Sorry, have babies.
	Go find yourself a trans man, and you'll be able to have a baby and still be gay.
	I mean, true, this is a very masculine vagina.
	What way, sidestepping it?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Thanks for the pinput.
	Inseminate the masculine vagina.
	Yeah, clown one, clown one.
	Rajek says, uh, this was, uh, sorry, this is a story, uh, sorry.
	This is...
	This story, I think he's just put an is by accident.
	Yeah, sorry, the is is throwing me off, the extra one.
	Uh, this story is why I've stopped debating with the left.
	The next time they claim that Roe v.
	Wade being overturned is the Handmaid's Tale, I'm going to remember that apparently that's what they want.
	Every time they criticize the right, they're projecting their own fetish of oppression.
	I mean, those ladies who just turn up in a handmaid's tail outfit every three months, where are they?
	I think they're asking for it.
	I think they want it to be the Handmaid's Tale in the bedroom.
	Well, that's the thing.
	I'm saying it's a secret kink.
	No, it's not so secret because they display it in public.
	True.
	This is like Carl and I when we covered the A Human Manifesto by that weird, freakish goth person.
	And Carl's thesis, which is absolutely 100% right, is women pushing boundaries to see how far they can go until a strong man will oppress them.
	Because that's what they want.
	It's S-tests.
	Yeah.
	I don't know why women do that.
	It's just so pointless.
	People who don't know what an S-test is, an S-word test.
	Basically, if you're the woman in a relationship, you ask for something ridiculous just to see if the man pushes back, and if he pushes back, he's okay, and if he doesn't, then you lose respect for him.
	Well, in that case, I guess I've been put to many S-tests over the past five years and have succeeded every single time.
	It's so annoying!
	What are you doing this for?
	Can I have this?
	No!
	Go away!
	Why would I agree to that?
	And they're like, aw, thanks.
	I'm like, what the...
	Like, it'll be like, oh, do you want to take a drive up to Edinburgh right now?
	And it's like 11 o'clock in the evening.
	And I'm like, no.
	No, woman.
	No, what do you want?
	I'm actually in my PJs.
	I'm half asleep.
	Go away.
	Anyway, Shadow in the Stars says chest binders sound like self-harm.
	And I thought the government recently legislated against promotion of self-harm and suicide on social media.
	Yeah, not the wrong kind.
	M1Pings says misinformation is just modern iteration of the term counter-revolutionary.
	Yep, 100%.
	Vassabajl says, trust the science.
	At this point, it has the same feeling as consult the shaman's entrails.
	It's true.
	You can't open the shaman?
	I thought the shaman gives you like some shells or something.
	No, I assume the shaman is handing you some entrails.
	Entrails of a goat, right.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, I was going to say that he found.
	I just found you.
	When do you find entrails?
	I don't know.
	If you're around a shaman, I assume you're in the wild somewhere.
	Well, the sham would just kill one of his own, but he gets paid.
	Anyway, Sophie Lev Peterson says, We need to trust these people because they are gay.
	You can always trust the gays.
	Me, who is currently watching a Dharma Netflix show.
	I've not watched Dharma.
	Hey, Sophie, like, why is it such a big deal that he's gay anyway?
	I mean, come on, man.
	Well, I assume you know about the Dharma show, though.
	No.
	Jeffrey Dahmer, serial killer, killed a lot of young...
	Oh, that dude.
	Killed a lot of young men because he was gay, and it was very easy for him to get hold of young men.
	He killed men because he was gay, or...?
	Well, he killed men because he enjoyed it, but he was also gay, and now that everybody's realised who's watched this show, they were like, oh, I didn't even know he was gay!
	All of the internet results in Google's, like, that doesn't even matter.
	Like, people were googling, Jeffrey Dahmer gay, and Google was coming up saying...
	We're changing the results of this search very rapidly, so we can't show them to you right now.
	I assume it mattered because he was getting access to boys?
	Or dates?
	I would assume so.
	I don't know much more about Adama.
	I'm sure Connor would be the guy to ask.
	Being our resident serial killer expert.
	And with that, we'll move on to the UK. Must we?
	I think it's Lucifer, actually, as well.
	I think it's on Netflix.
	I can't remember if he's gay in that, though.
	Like, the literal devil comes to Earth.
	Oh, no, I've watched Lucifer, or parts of it.
	Lucifer, seasons 1 through 3 are Amazon Prime, then Netflix did the rest of the seasons.
	He's not gay, he's just very effeminate.
	World of streaming is...
	It is.
	Well, I think what happened was Prime were going to cancel it, and they did cancel it, and then Netflix were like, No, baby, come over here!
	It's very confusing.
	Robert Longshore says, Why should the monetary experts be listening to The Guardian journalists when it comes to tax policy?
	Because the government is not run by the politicians, the government is run by smear merchants, spinsters, and financial backers who no one will ever know the real names of because they're all behind the scenes, it's all shadowy, and we're all being played and conned.
	That's just it.
	John Price, I used to like Rick Moranis when he was in- Very happy, Harry.
	I'm sorry, just looking into this- The whole system is hell.
	Yeah, no, literally looking into it yesterday afternoon and this morning, it's just been like head in hands like, oh god, this whole thing is a joke that's set up to fail, isn't it?
	Yes.
	Yes, it is.
	John Price.
	I used to like Rick Moranis when he was in Honey, I Shrunk With Kids and Ghostbusters, but since he retired from acting, changed his name to Michael Gove and got into politics.
	I'm not a fan anymore.
	Me neither.
	HR slave.
	The financial markets are and always has been, in the essence, a form of orc magic.
	They survive because people believe in them.
	When the belief falters, everything starts to crumble.
	Yep.
	Shaker Silver, neoliberal...
	The neoliberal obsession with numbers go up has made them sell out our future to secure an increasingly shaky present.
	The more this bubble is kept alive, the bigger it's going to pop.
	Yes, I absolutely think Quasi Quarteng might have actually secretly been hoping for the bubble to pop, and then sadly didn't have the convictions to go through with it.
	And if he had, I would have respected it, because this whole system needs to die.
	I'm just thinking someone needs to make a 40k cartoon of a load of orcs that go to like Wall Street or something, right?
	And they all bet their teeth on stuff.
	The better the war is going, the more the stocks go up.
	Do you remember the Margarita episode of South Park?
	Yeah.
	It's absolutely like that at the end where they're choosing how to bail people out by they're just like getting a chicken, chopping its head off and releasing it onto the board with the guy with the little kazoo.
	That's absolutely what's actually happening.
	Sophie Liv Peterson.
	Sounds like Europe is really in a bind.
	We spend all our money.
	What do we do?
	I know!
	More migration!
	That will solve everything, says Truss.
	Yes.
	Oh, I forgot about that.
	Dominicus Monarchus.
	Hungary has the highest tax rate in Europe with 30-something percent.
	Over here in Germany, I pay around 40% of my paycheck in taxes.
	I guess some of it is stuff like mandatory health and retirement insurance, a state TV license, etc.
	But in my book, Any Money the State Takes Out of My Earnings is just another tax, and therefore, Theft.
	Absolutely correct.
	I'd never be able to get health insurance or save up for retirement without a gun to my head.
	Thank you very much, daddy government.
	And don't worry, with that money that they're taking from you with your gun to their head, they're probably giving to the hands of financial investors who are going to risk it and end up wasting it on collateral risky investments.
	I know.
	Joy.
	X, Y, and Z, E... Cutting benefits doesn't sound very globalist ooby of Liz.
	Yeah, the gutless MPs pandering to the pundits in The Guardian are a problem.
	Yes.
	Alexander Dake, last one here.
	Too cowardly to stick by the principles.
	I'm sorry, Harry, but can anyone say with a straight face that the Conservatives really have principles?
	No, but they posture it.
	I like it.
	Anyway.
	Kobe Koshton says Kanye is such a boomer.
	Sorry, who?
	Kanye!
	I don't know why I butchered that.
	I was reading the next line.
	All of us actual racists know that it's okay to be white.
	Coming from Kobe.
	Yeah.
	Shake Silver says Sorry Callum, but no new grievance laws.
	Repeal all the existing grievance laws and create a culture of shame for everyone who suggests more.
	There's one way of solving it.
	If we're going to live in this world, I'm going to use their tools, but I'm happy to just break all the tools.
	Put them in the sandpit.
	Never dig them up.
	We on them.
	Yeah, but it keeps people away.
	I suppose so.
	Maureen Peters says, Heaven forbid, some will start seeing the whites as individual, actual human beings instead of symbolic oppressors.
	No.
	I did love that from South Park's season where they have the white family.
	I've not seen that.
	No one thinks of us, the whites.
	That's right, the white family.
	No one pays attention to us anymore.
	That's quite funny, actually.
	Yeah.
	Free Will 2112 says, we live in a world run by left-wing race fascists.
	Yes, yes we do.
	And Dirty Belter says, a reminder, there is no such thing as an actual Conservative Tory.
	Also very true.
	Not sure I believe that.
	Well, I suppose we have heard word that, well, I saw Nick post on Twitter that he's been at the Conservative Party conference and saw Kemi Badenoch speak, and she said that she was the intellectual child of Roger Scruton and Thomas Sowell.
	That sounds pretty conservative to me.
	God damn, why didn't she win the Tory race?
	Because on that note, we're out of time.
	If you'd like more from us, go to lessears.com, of course.
	Check out the stuff, as mentioned.
	And otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
