	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 29th of December 2022.
	I'm joined by Harry.
	Hello!
	And today we're going to be talking about the time against fitness, the great white tribe, and rainbow revisionism, of course.
	I don't have any announcements, but I do have one announcement to make, which is I wrote a little show in hell.
	Harry, there you are.
	Oh really?
	Yeah.
	I will buy you...
	I will bury you and your slut wife, allegedly.
	I got that for Christmas, so...
	Oh, and it's got a lovely image of the man as well.
	Yes.
	Well...
	All alleged, I'm sure.
	But anyway...
	We've got any hand wash, Michael?
	You're going to drink that.
	You're drinking from the cup of Miller.
	Yes, alleged statements.
	I did want it on a shirt, but apparently the shirt was too much, so...
	Well, you don't want to walk around with notorious woman respect to Ezra Miller's face on your chest.
	No, saying, I will bury you and your slut wife, allegedly.
	It's kind of based.
	Anyway, I thought it was funny as hell.
	Otherwise, we shall begin with the time against fitness.
	Yes, it's almost the end of the year, and I'm casting my mind back over the events of 2022 and thinking about it, and it draws me back to last year, when I said to everybody what my New Year's resolution was going to be, which is be less fat, which is something I'm going to try and continue into the next year, because sadly my New Year's resolution to break the news for everyone hasn't been as successful as I was hoping.
	Hang on, it's not New Year's, so it doesn't...
	It's not New Year's, so it's not over, but unless I lose like £10 in the next three days.
	I thought you had to start your New Year's resolution on the 1st.
	Well, I'm just carrying it on.
	It's the same New Year's resolution, just be in better shape, basically.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, if it was the old one, then yeah.
	Yeah, it's just the same one.
	It's a really lazy way of doing it, I know.
	But still, this is my rules.
	I can do what I want, okay?
	This is my segment.
	I do what I want, alright?
	So yeah, I was just thinking back and thinking about how I should have been less fat and it wasn't as successful, although the past few months have been pretty good, been, you know, working out.
	And then I look around online for subjects related to this and find, as always, that there are magazines, specifically Time, who seem to be going on a crusade against fitness by trying to label it as white supremacy.
	If you go to the gym, you lift weights, you want to get hench, you want to feel good about yourself, white supremacy.
	Just...
	Blatant racist.
	This is why you're the least racist person in the office, seeing as you don't lift.
	I don't waste my time on that, no.
	No, you don't waste your time cultivating the white supremacy.
	Every single bicep curl...
	I'm an anti-racist, actually.
	I cake for breakfast.
	Every single bicep curl gets me closest to rank of Grand Wizard.
	If you need something to push you to the end of your sets, that's what you gotta do.
	You just gotta think, next rank, baby!
	But yeah, there's always loads of articles over the past few years.
	And I can only think of maybe two or three reasons why it is that they want to discourage people to be fit.
	Because obviously, if they call you a racist or white supremacist, what that actually means is evil.
	You don't want to be evil, do you?
	So eat the slop.
	Eat the burger.
	Have the five guys.
	And I have indulged a little bit too much in the five guys this year, I will admit.
	But I shouldn't have, and I recognize that, and I'm looking to rectify that.
	But you're easier to control when you're fat and lazy, because your behavior reflects your attitudes to things.
	So if your behavior is the old Aristotelian, like, your habits make the man.
	So if you're going out and trying to improve yourself, working out and doing all this good stuff, which will just generally make you feel better, you're going to probably be more independent, certainly more independently minded.
	You're going to have to develop discipline.
	You're going to have to develop lots of skills to be able to keep on top of your fitness, which are going to make you more difficult to fool.
	Also, second reason, progressives generally are fat and ugly, and it makes them feel bad to see people who look better than them.
	I mean, fact check, true.
	I've not done any, sorry, Scientific American, I've not done any studies on this, but I have two eyes which operate pretty damn well, in fact, 20-20 vision almost, so yeah, I've got good lens to view the world from.
	And this is all the sort of stuff that's covered in a recent premium article from John Tangney, which has got, for our Silver members, it's got an audio track, if you can't be bothered to read and you'd rather listen, called Fitness Politics, and it's similar to an article I wrote a few months ago, which is talking about If you are working out, if you're dedicated to your fitness, especially the diet, because the diet is where most of the fat loss is going to come from, and it's easily the most difficult part.
	You think deadlifting above your own body weight might be difficult if you're a beginner?
	Try sticking to a good diet for a few months, and that's the real killer.
	But he's talking about how if you do this, you'll be creating good habits for yourself, which are going to apply wonderfully to other aspects of your life.
	And it's a really interesting article, so I'd recommend reading that if you get the chance.
	But this is what drew my attention to this subject, which was, I saw Times on Twitter were advertising an article called this, The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise and Six Other Surprising Facts About the History of U.S. Physical Fitness.
	So this isn't just saying, you know, "Oh, white supremacists like to exercise." No, it's saying the idea of exercise in the first place is rooted in white supremacy.
	The only people who've ever wanted to get in shape have been Hitler.
	He wasn't very in shape.
	No, he wasn't.
	But he wanted to be, and he encouraged people to be.
	Therefore, getting in shape is evil.
	That's a good point, actually.
	Hang on.
	Were there any in-shape Nazis?
	I can't think of one.
	Herman Goering was the big fat man.
	Yeah, I've seen lots of pictures of Nazis.
	Goebbels is gangly.
	Yeah, they seem to either be really unhealthily skinny, skinny fat, or overweight.
	None of them are in peak fitness shape.
	No.
	I actually can't think of a single one that comes to mind.
	No, but this article, like I said, it's basically just trying to do the classic thing because the left know how to play the frame game for a lot of people, which is you've got to build up negative associations with positive concepts so that people then start to feel bad about exercising and instead get used to their lovely pod living where they can just eat nothing but bugs, which I'm sure are...
	It's nutritionally beneficial, maybe.
	They try and tell you it's full of protein.
	I don't want to eat bugs.
	Sorry, John, if you're watching this live right now.
	I just don't want to do it.
	They want you to eat the bugs, lay around watching Netflix and watching porn and cooming and doing nothing that's good for you.
	So that's what you do.
	So I see this as you have a moral duty to exercise and get into shape just to annoy pricks like this.
	So this article is basically just an interview with some author, a guy called Natalia Melman Petrez...
	Apologies for this.
	You're giving me a run for my money.
	Petrzella.
	I mean, can you read that name?
	There it is.
	Natalia Melman Petrzella.
	Go on, give it a go.
	Go on.
	I almost want to just say Pret.
	Like, who will make my coffee at Pret?
	That kind of Pret?
	Oh, Pat.
	Pat.
	Yeah.
	Who's going to make my coffee at Pat?
	Pidazila?
	Pidazila?
	Ah, close enough.
	He's got a book out called Fit Nation, The Gains and Pains of America's Exercise Obsession.
	I don't know if he's seen the statistics of Americans, but I don't see it as much of an obsession.
	No.
	I just also saw the chat, well, I get a better name, idiot.
	Yeah, it's dumbass.
	Get better parents.
	You chose the wrong parents, dumbass.
	That's just mean.
	But they say, this article goes on to say, Nowadays, at the beginning of every New Year, many Americans hit the gym to go work off their holiday feasts, as you should.
	This momentum usually starts to fade in mid-January, according to a 2019 analysis of data on fitness trafficking apps by Bloomberg.
	And this is a big thing.
	People will get into their New Year's resolution, go to the gym consistently for maybe a week or two, and then just completely drop off and never ever go again, which is bad.
	You shouldn't do that, but at the same time...
	Kind of works for me, because it means I don't have to wait around for the machines and free weights constantly after about mid-January, which can be a bit of a pain, but still.
	But such New Year's resolutions, it says, are pretty new, as is the concept of exercise as a way to improve bodily health.
	I don't know quite how accurate that statement is, but fair, fair, okay.
	It's not really until the 1980s that you start to have the consensus that everybody should be doing some form of exercise, says Pett, who is a professor at the New School in New York City.
	I don't trust this man, given some of the things he says later.
	I don't believe this man.
	I think people knew that exercise was good for you before the 1980s.
	It might have just been due to other factors.
	Like, the diet.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the diet of Westerners has changed tremendously.
	The diet has changed massively, and prior to the 1980s and 1970s, I think there were quite a few social and economic factors, meaning that a lot of people weren't able to get as much food as they could have.
	You know, there's plenty of stuff.
	There was these things called these big wars...
	Yeah, but...
	Typical wars, rationing...
	You ever seen this?
	There's this photograph of some guy from the Austro-Hungarian Empire who's kind of fat, and he was known as the Fat Man, and people would pay money to go and see him.
	Just because he was really fat?
	Yeah, but these days he's just like average American.
	Oh yeah, I have seen that guy.
	He looked like a smaller Ethan Klein.
	Yeah.
	There we are.
	Yeah.
	That's just how we've got.
	Just average fat man in America 150 years ago would have been a circus sideshow.
	But yeah, so he's pointing out throughout this that fatness used to be a sign of wealth and prosperity because it meant that you could afford enough food to get fat.
	Now he says it's a sign of being poor.
	And I would say that...
	Two are correlated, but basically everybody is fatter than they used to be.
	If I was around in the 1950s, I probably wouldn't have quite as much of this.
	And Carl does have his arguments, his little conspiracy theories about seed oils.
	I've not read into it.
	I've not looked into it.
	It does come across a little bit tinfoil hat to me.
	But if you do have any information on seed oils that could convince me...
	I don't actually understand the seed oils thing.
	Like, I know the meme, but I don't really get what it is.
	Oh.
	As far as I can tell from Carl and Rory going on about it, it's seed oils never used to be in foods until maybe the 70s or 80s, and it's around that time you start to see the massive trend of people just getting fatter and fatter and fatter.
	okay so it's big seed big seed all right there's rapeseed oil so who knows but there's lots of other factors that go into it and then he turns about it talks about particular writers from the 20th century examining fitness and says that they're saying white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies they're writing during an incredible amount of immigration soon after enslaved people have been emancipated hang on while we're taking a bit of a Yep, yep, yep.
	It goes exactly where you expect it to.
	It's just like, here's a little bit of the actual objective history of fitness and all these things.
	People got fatter in the 70s.
	So anyway, white supremacists are saying have babies.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	That's where it always goes.
	They always just do that.
	They go like, here's some actual interesting maybe objective facts and history that might entice some people in.
	By the way, if you agree with any of these old opinions, you're a racist.
	You think fitness is good for you?
	Racist.
	There you go.
	And he says this is totally a part of white supremacy of a white supremacy project.
	So that was a real holy crap moment as a historian where deep archival research really reveals the contradictions of this moment.
	Maybe also in like the early 20th centuries, talking about like the 1920s, maybe, maybe a war had just ended.
	A war had just ended, lots of people were dead, and they're like, we might want to be ready for another war, and we might want to have more babies.
	Just a suggestion.
	But he does end with something in this interview that I kind of agree with, where the interviewer asks, what's the future of fitness?
	And he just says, I would love for the future of fitness not only to be about...
	Wi-Fi connected treadmills and luxury clubs where people can go hang out and drink green juice after their workout, but rather for a collective public investment in making fitness and recreation available to everybody and much more accessible than it currently is.
	So I agree with the kind of sentiment of this, which is everybody should work out, everybody should do their best to be as healthy as possible, kind of goes against the title, which suggests that if you're fit, you're a white supremacist.
	But he is basically saying what we need there is the communist gyms.
	We need the state-run gyms, which will inevitably be rubbish.
	But I would suggest something a bit more practical.
	That would be the fat tax.
	You need to get a certain point percentage on your BMI score.
	And if you don't, if you exceed that, you're going to get taxed.
	Extra tax.
	Come on.
	Putting more strain on the NHS, fatty.
	Pay up.
	You know you are.
	You're a supporter of the NHS all along.
	Yeah, that's right.
	We can always circle this back to worship of the NHS. How are you, man?
	At the end of the day.
	I mean, to be fair, if you did actually put it forward as in how we save the NHS, we implement the fat tax.
	Oh, they already have.
	I mean, in the UK, I believe, what is it, we've got a sugar tax.
	That's one thing we have.
	The Americans don't.
	Well, these are kind of indirect.
	There's sugar tax and all that stuff.
	There was also a proposal of putting it on fatty foods, and also in Scotland, they banned, what was it, two-for-one offers?
	Banned?
	Two for one offers?
	Yeah, as if that means anything.
	Okay, so people will just spend slightly more to get fat.
	Well, you get three for two.
	Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
	So they've made it worse.
	No, but instead of all those indirect nonsense, just cut straight to the chase and just say, fatty, you're past a certain percentage on your BMI, there you go, get an extra 50% tax.
	The socialists would love it.
	They're good at being skinny anyway.
	So, and with all these sorts of articles coming out, I am surprised that Time didn't choose Lizzo as Person of the Year, as opposed to Zielinski, who they ended up running with, but there's always next year.
	We are in Lizzo Nation, after all.
	And this article, actually, given that there is some interesting stuff, isn't as bad as some others that come out and just say outright, say, going to the gym is bad.
	Because it makes you right-wing.
	Because it makes you more based.
	Like this classic from about five years ago from Vice.
	Gym bros more likely to be right-wing assholes, science confirms.
	This is one that's been memed to the ends of the earth and back, and it was based on research from Brunel University found that physically strong men who regularly go to the gym are more likely to be right-wing and support social and economic inequality than weaker men.
	I like that use of the term weaker men.
	That's right.
	If you don't believe in right-wing values, you're weak.
	That's correct.
	And then I found this amazing one that was shared on Twitter right before we went on.
	It's from 2020, but Scientific American decided that they wanted to join in with the conflagration of voices, all pushing the actually, if you don't want to be fat, you're racist, Talking about the racist roots of fighting obesity.
	Support science journalism.
	Give us money for this crap.
	Every single time.
	And the argument for this is literally...
	And just focus on this image, because this image just sums the entire article up.
	The argument is, and this I don't think is very scientific...
	This line of logic is black women tend to be fatter than all other groups in the US and therefore suffer more disease.
	Therefore, fighting obesity equals racism.
	Have I convinced you yet?
	No, funnily enough.
	Are you not going to jump down to McDonald's after this is done and gorge yourself on Big Macs?
	What, in support of black women?
	Yes, it's solidarity.
	Are you not an ally?
	No.
	How good an ally you are can be measured exactly by how wide your waist is.
	You know that samurai meme with the flag and the just guys going, I hope we lose?
	That's the kind of ally I am at that point.
	You're that guy.
	You're the malnourished ally at the side.
	We're all going to be obese black women.
	I mean, this is Lizzo Nation thinking right now.
	And then...
	Once again, like I said, it's time against fitness, because time came out with the white supremacy argument, and then last month they came out with this one, why the idea of a normal body is so insidious.
	A normal body not being something that you can really quantify, but I think we all know what we mean when we say a normal body.
	Not extreme.
	Yeah, just not extremely obese, or...
	Extremely skinny.
	I've seen some frighteningly skinny people on YouTube.
	There's that girl, I forget what her name is.
	She's notorious for being just anorexic and people are basically cheering her on as she kills herself through not eating and going through these extreme fad diets.
	It's honestly grotesque to see.
	That's not normal.
	Being morbidly obese also isn't normal.
	Even being a gigantic genetic jackhammer spruced to the gills on PEDs and steroids also isn't normal and also isn't good for your health because that will destroy your heart doing that sort of thing.
	What we mean when we say normal body...
	It's like you say, just not extreme.
	Nice and simple.
	But, apparently, normal is an insidious concept.
	And one that the fashion industry has long tried to define.
	That's right.
	It's insidious.
	You want to be normal?
	You want to not be unusual?
	You want to be healthy?
	That's insidious.
	I've got these clothes to sell.
	I want to sell it to the largest possible audience.
	Let's find what the commonalities of all the average person is.
	Put them together and call that the normal person and put the clothes on that.
	That's insidious.
	That's me trying to make sure the clothes fit you.
	It's evil.
	And I think we'll find as we go on to the next one after this that it's not...
	the argument this woman is putting forward which is exactly what you would expect which is that clothing having certain sizes that apply to you that you may not necessarily fit in mean that you might feel bad about yourself at which point i would just say well if you're not if you're too big for a particular size just go for the next size up sorry if that makes you feel bad about yourself but you want clothes that fit right who hasn't been there yeah who i'm there I get there sometimes.
	But the point that this article is, and so many others are trying to put forward, is the classic, we're not allowed to recognise patterns and trends, they're evil, we can define anything, well, we can't define anything by the average, the normal, we now have to redefine and centre everything in society around the exceptions and the margins to make freaks, fatties and weirdos feel better about themselves.
	It's just not how society should function.
	And yeah, obviously with women's clothes in particular, I know a lot of people complain that the sizing tends to be off.
	But in this next article I found, because actually before we go over to it, can you guess where this article eventually goes?
	Normal, insidious, fitness, fatness.
	Maybe a new normal they want to propose.
	No, no, no.
	Can you guess what they put the root of all of this to?
	Is it white people?
	It's white people.
	Wow!
	It's white supremacy.
	That's right.
	That's correct.
	She even says the article is trying to equate the standard normal body type aesthetic with eugenics and white supremacy.
	Exactly where you would expect it to go.
	Although there is an interesting statement further on down in this article, which outright says, the idea of normal, it seems, always comes with some kind of agenda.
	And if we were to take that statement literally, then we can also assume the inverse, which is the idea of the abnormal, which we're promoted constantly and told is actually just the new normal, and therefore it's wrong to oppose it, must also come with some kind of agenda as well.
	But that's not happening.
	Oh wait, it is happening, but it's not that actually it's a good thing, and actually you're a problem if you complain about it.
	That's where this logic always goes.
	You're not supposed to recognize the agenda, recognize the patterns, but realistically speaking, we all know what normal means when we're talking about body size and such, and we all know that it's relatively healthy for most people to go within those.
	Genetics will define how you look in particular, but Genetics will be unique to you that cause some issues.
	Even somebody like The Rock, for instance.
	The Rock's almost 50.
	He's huge, massively muscular, doesn't have abs.
	That's just down to his genetics.
	That's something that he can't help.
	It's something that nobody could help in that situation.
	But we still know what normal means.
	And like I say, this next article I found from the goodhousekeeping.com, if you could scroll down...
	So there's Marilyn Monroe, considered a beauty in her time.
	We can see what's listed here.
	What does this graph appear to show to you?
	It appears to me that the same sizing, labelled sizing that is, has actually been going up in actual size in waist in inches and such since the 1950s.
	So we have one side of the graph is your waist in inches and on the other side is just time.
	And we'll take an example, size 8 was, what was that, 23 inches?
	Yeah, about 23 inches or so.
	And now it is about 29 inches.
	Almost 30.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So what they say here is that some brands apply vanity sizing where they label dresses smaller than they actually are to make customers feel better about their size.
	So this Time article arguing that clothing makes women feel bad about themselves if they're too fat for the clothes.
	Sorry, the fashion industry has already been doing everything in its power to accommodate you.
	Look at that jump up for size 20.
	Used to be 32 inches is now 40.
	Yeah, whereas now, what was size 20 in 1958, around 32 inches, is now a size 12.
	And that was only in 2011.
	Given the trend seems to just be going up and up and up, I wouldn't be surprised if size 20 is now also considered a bit bigger as well.
	So, yeah, my...
	I kind of want to see the bust one as well.
	Yeah, the bust has also been going up massively.
	Is that just...
	You know, this one I'm not as bad about.
	You know, I can accept this.
	Well, they're incandruent, aren't they?
	Yeah, the two are connected to one another, but...
	Basically, the point of this segment is just that fitness is good.
	Going to the gym is good.
	If you do decide to get a gym membership as part of your new year's resolution for this year, try and stick at it.
	It will be good for you if you can develop the sorts of habits and procedures that will be able to get you into better shape.
	It will apply to the rest of your life as well, and you'll feel much better about yourself.
	So yeah, just carry on.
	Be less fat.
	With that message, we shall turn to the Great White Tribe.
	So, the Great White Tribe is an old meme, but still checks out, at least in my mind.
	And we're talking about what is the white race, which is totally going to go on YouTube.
	Because the thing is, is it...
	Yeah, it actually is.
	Because the Great White Tribe, as that meme says, there is no white people in the white race anymore.
	In fact, this is the entirely opposite case.
	The white race...
	Does this make me mad or something?
	It's made up of zero white people, so I don't know what you are, but you're not in the white race anymore.
	At least according to left-wing academics who have really come back out of the race science with some new measurements.
	Okay, because I thought in one side of the race science, I thought white people only count if you're Anglo-Saxon slash Scandinavian.
	So basically just from the northernmost parts of Europe.
	That's the old way of thinking.
	Unless you're Celtic, at which point you don't count.
	No, we have much more advanced methods.
	Americans think that all Europe is white, even though the Europeans themselves would probably argue about that for decades if you let them.
	Plenty of Americans will as well.
	But anyway, we shall begin, because to start off, I just want to mention a premium podcast.
	Debate might as well be dead, because, well, facts don't literally mean anything anymore, apparently.
	And that's what we're going to go through, because you might remember the phrase, the great white tribe.
	It's an old joke, essentially, if you've got a link here, just detailing that it comes from Rhodesia, South Africa.
	The joke there being that, like, oh yes, these people are tribals.
	Which is just funny.
	And he made it into its own little song as well, which I do actually recommend.
	It's a funny-ass song.
	He did actually play this for me right before the podcast went on.
	It's a pretty chill song.
	I quite enjoyed it.
	It's not some white supremacist stuff.
	It's just a description of what happened at the time.
	Anyway, we'll go to Larry Elder, who of course joined the great white tribe back when he ran for office.
	Remember this?
	Yes, I remember he was the black face of white supremacy, as we've seen here.
	You've been warned.
	I've been warned, have I? I forgot that little tagline.
	Is the warning not to trust him?
	Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, he gets into office.
	You know what I'm going to do?
	I'm going to ban black people.
	Puts the gun to his own temple, starting with me.
	No, no, he's white, of course.
	Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot.
	It's hard to tell.
	He must have taken the Justin Trudeau approach.
	To remind everyone about why exactly Larry Elder is white, um, yeah, okay.
	This is getting romantic already.
	Quote, rising crime?
	It's because of this phony narrative that the police are engaging in systemic racism and cops are being pulling back, Elder said.
	When you reduce the possibility of a bad guy getting caught, getting convicted and getting incarcerated, guess what?
	Crime goes up.
	That's a very white statement.
	Yeah, that's pretty racist, bro.
	Saying that maybe criminals should go to jail.
	Can't believe he would do this.
	The only people who've ever believed that in the past have been white people.
	At least according to one of the founding members of BLM. Abdullah over here of Black Lives Matter.
	Drifter from Black Lives Matter.
	Yes, local millionaire says, quote, anytime you put a blackface on white supremacy.
	Local property mogul Abdullah.
	Local top hat owner and tuxedo wearer.
	Well, speaking as a black man...
	Whipping her cane.
	God.
	Whenever you put a black face on white supremacy, which is what Larry Elder is, there are people who will utilize that as an opportunity to deny white supremacy.
	They say, how could this be white supremacy?
	This is a black man.
	Think about that statement for a minute, oh Miss Millionaire.
	But everything that he's been pushing, everything he stands for, is advancing white supremacy, such as criminalizing crime.
	I mean, I know it's a radical policy.
	You've got criminalizing drugs and there's criminalizing crime, which is also on the ticket.
	I'm sorry, this is such a contrast because this is in the Los Angeles Times.
	The last time I read something from the Los Angeles Times was yesterday when I was going back through some archives and was made aware that Lou Rockwell of the Mises Institute wrote an article in the early 90s for the LA Times defending the police officers that beat Rodney King.
	Ha!
	So the LA Times has taken quite the shift here.
	They've now become, crime?
	Is it that bad?
	Do you really deserve justice or do you deserve a black eye, Miss Asian Lady?
	That's unironically their position now.
	And I love how we had to go for a local millionaire to get that piece of enlightening knowledge.
	Local monopoly, man.
	Larry Elder is a black man.
	No, he is a white man, says local millionaire.
	More news at 10.
	Anyway, so, criminalizing crime, if you believe that, that makes you part of the great white tribe.
	But there is another article that Carl sent me earlier, which, um...
	Oh boy.
	Here we go.
	This is an old one, but I... I'm sorry, this image.
	If they were all reading...
	Someone needs to Photoshop this, where they're all reading Mein Kampf.
	No, no, no, they're not reading Mein Kampf, as the writer will let us know.
	And they're not looking at Cock and Balls 123 either, Chad, stop.
	So, this is a headline called, White Nationalism is Spreading Through the Orthodox Community.
	He shows up everywhere.
	He's got some good videos, what can I say?
	He can't escape the Cock and Balls.
	Anyway, so Jews are now in the Great White Tribe.
	I think they're the top Great White Tribe here of all time.
	I mean, if they count.
	Because, oh boy, this is going to get rather spicy.
	I'm not even joking.
	The thing is, people think of Israel, and they've got many views, but I don't really have a care.
	But the thing in Israel I do find extremely funny is just how blunt they are when it comes to politics.
	And we're going to read some of that.
	So the writer says, Something disturbing has been happening in the Orthodox world.
	White nationalist language is infiltrating our public spaces.
	It's happening in our synagogues, in our communities, in our schools, and of course, online.
	Oh no, they found 4chan!
	It's just...
	I do love, there is actually a meme on 4chan, which is like, you know, the polled hearts on 4chan will come up with some devious plan.
	Like, it's okay to be white, for example.
	Was that 4chan?
	That was 4chan.
	Oh, nice.
	They made up that campaign poster.
	And I remember at the time, there was a guy from Israel, because your flag comes up on that website...
	Who proposed, let's take this a step further, lads.
	What if we start, like, getting rid of the ink?
	Like, we make the transparency lower and lower and lower on the ink to the point that a white sheet of paper becomes the new symbol of white supremacy?
	That's genius.
	And just, like, all the comments responding to this guy were just like, only a Jew could be this devious.
	It's a beautiful melding of mine.
	A meeting of worlds.
	I just find it funny how the international world of white supremacy includes everyone.
	It's always...
	The white supremacists are easily the most diverse community.
	You ever seen poll meet-ups?
	Yeah, yeah, you've shown me a few images from them.
	Massively multiracial.
	It's the funniest thing in the world.
	Sorry, I don't want to spoil anything, but I can already notice here mention of Spencer, David Dew, Donald Trump.
	But interestingly enough, speaking of that, before he was outed as an evil anti-Semite, I know that Richard Spencer was collaborating with notable conservative Jew Paul Gottfried on books and such things.
	I'm not familiar with him.
	It's the nice multi-racial, multi-ethnic white supremacy right there.
	Anyway, they say, there was always some racism in our communities, of course.
	We'd begun to address it around the time of Barack Obama being elected president.
	When calling black people, I'm not going to say that, a derogatory term for a black person finally became taboo.
	Which, to be honest, I wasn't aware of, and also just think it's really funny.
	Like 2008, you've got a bunch of Jewish people like, you know that slur we use for black people, maybe we should stop using that.
	2008 is when you're having that conversation.
	I didn't know there was a specific Jewish slur for black people.
	I think it's, I presume it's Yiddish or Hebrew, who knows, but whatever.
	I'm just going to leave that there.
	I'm so tempted, but I shouldn't.
	Just in case.
	I assume it's Yiddish, because it's very close to the German word for the word black, which...
	Yeah, you can read it there.
	There it is.
	Anyway.
	It probably sounds like hearty.
	Yeah, anyway.
	But they say, but what we're seeing...
	Those hearty blacks.
	What we're seeing now is new.
	It's different.
	It's not just plain racism.
	This is M&S racism.
	No.
	As the price racism.
	Or hatred and judgment of a group of people because of their skin pigment.
	Rather, what I and others have been noticing in our communities is an emergence of a philosophy, one that the Trump era is increasingly bringing into stark relief.
	It's the philosophy of white nationalism.
	Right.
	Yeah, it wasn't Trump.
	One.
	I mean, this is two years into Trump's presidency, so yeah, okay.
	It justifies racism, and it's spreading like a virus amongst Orthodox Jews.
	Hmm.
	Fifteen years ago, you might hear the word...
	In a synagogue.
	But you wouldn't hear justifications for deporting black people to Africa.
	Today, you probably won't hear a racist slur, at least.
	Not without some sheepishness.
	But you will hear talking points you can find on David Duke's Twitter feed, in your local Israeli synagogue.
	LAUGHTER Where the hell is this going?
	In other words, a significant group of Jews have moved from casual racism to high-tier...
	No.
	It's a professional race.
	Into an embrace of all-out but anti-Semitic aspects of modern white supremacist philosophy?
	Where are you going with this?
	I really don't think...
	It's a tough sell to convince me that...
	Local Israeli synagogues are now just, so let's draw some cartoons, for example.
	This is literally going to be like the most milquetoast basic bitch nationalism, isn't it?
	It certainly is.
	A few weeks ago, President Trump reportedly called Haiti and other countries in Africa S-hole countries.
	I was amazed how similar many of my pro-Trump Orthodox Jews I knew sounded in comparison with Spencer, Duke, and Trump himself.
	I was like, what?
	What?
	But this is in relation to the fact that David Duke and Spencer were like, well yeah, they are assholes.
	I was like, yeah.
	And I don't have to be aligned with David Duke to go like, would you want to live in any of these asshole countries he listed?
	I mean, if you're not seeing the guy who's from Reason go to Haiti, his video, it's such a...
	Oh, what, Nick Gillespie?
	Yeah, The Dirt Cookies.
	I've not seen that, actually.
	I might need to watch it.
	Oh, I should have brought it up then.
	I'll describe it, because it...
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Local non-asshole country.
	Alright.
	The locals, bread is so expensive for them that they make dirt cookies, and the cookies are made from mixing flour with dirt.
	And what you do is you have this, like, gross paste, and you have your dirty-ass, like, blanket that you lay out in the school field right next to an open sewer.
	Like, this is the video, there's an open sewer next to it.
	You rub your little dirt cookies into a cookie shape, and then you have them bake in the sun, because they're dirt, and then you eat the dirt cookies.
	I'm pretty sure, literally, that Ukrainians did that during the Holodomor.
	I don't think they even got dirt cookies, but I think it's the luxury of wonderful countries such as Haiti.
	Oh, okay, so Haiti at least had flour.
	Oh yeah, here we go.
	Yeah, there you are.
	It ain't pretty.
	No, that's not nice.
	No, they don't look flavourful either.
	They call them bonbon hair in Haiti.
	So, there you have it.
	Enjoy.
	Getting back to the opinions on such things, so one local Jew upset this man by saying, opinion number A, El Salvador isn't an s-hole.
	They don't need 17 years of temporary protected status, and migrants from there should be sent home immediately.
	Or, option B, my friend, El Salvador is in fact an s-hole.
	And the local writer who listened to that got very upset because...
	I mean, that's an excellent way to turn the argument around.
	Yeah, it's like either they don't deserve refugee status because it's not an asshole, or it's an asshole.
	And, well, I know literally it's the red button meme, but the guy's brain did explode because he doesn't actually have a counter-argument.
	He says another Orthodox friend of his, who had left South Africa for Israel, remarked, I'm so glad I emigrated from an asshole.
	LAUGHTER That's fantastic.
	And this author is like...
	Jews, white.
	Another Jew wrote, so how many snowflakes would you like to move to Haiti?
	So all of them, I'm sure they can find out.
	When I ferociously wondered if the commenter also believed in a white genocide, a term popularized in the white nationalist community, the person responded, I have no idea what you are talking about.
	I don't know any white supremacists and I don't know what they sound like.
	By genocide, do you mean blacks murdering white farmers in South Africa?
	He has no counter-argument to that either.
	I can see Michael being like, oh my god.
	Michael's hyperventilating over there.
	Are we sure this is going to end up on YouTube?
	Yeah, because it's local Jewish men's opinions, and I want to make sure all the voices are included.
	Is this forward article a psyop in favour of these opinions?
	Because he's not presenting a good counter-argument.
	Well, he doesn't present any counter-argument.
	That's the weird thing in this thing.
	Here's me listing some opinions I heard at my local synagogue.
	Yeah, and he's just like, well, this proves that Jews are white because they're full of hate.
	I'm not even joking.
	That's what we're going to get to.
	He says, and it wasn't just in my orbit either.
	Soon I heard from friends, liberal Orthodox Jews like me, who listened in horror as online comments were repeated in a synagogue on Shabbat.
	I learned from Trump's asshole comment was that the president's dog whistles aren't only being heard by the alt-right anymore.
	The countries dominated by blacks aren't assholes.
	Sorry, by blacks are assholes was the broad consensus he heard in his synagogue.
	The thing is, Mr.
	Author, why are you saying El Salvador is a majority black country?
	You've made that leap.
	No one said that countries who are majority black are assholes.
	Like, they said that these countries are assholes.
	So, I mean, you listed El Salvador earlier as an example.
	You're the one making that leap, my friend.
	No one else.
	Whilst the Anti-Defamation League, an American Jewish committee, and the reform movement spoke stridently against Donald Trump's words, in Israel not so much.
	I was wondering when the ADL were going to jump into this conversation.
	Yeah, he lists there is some backlash from Israel, which a local soup kitchen run by an anti-Trump Hasidic Jewish group lost a bunch of donors when it protested the Muslim ban.
	I wonder why.
	It's Israeli politics.
	And he says it's not David Duke or Richard Spencer who are doing such things.
	It's actually other such neo-Nazis, such as Dennis Prager.
	Huh.
	Alright, I mean, I know that forward is some leftist shill rag for the most part, so I'm not surprised that they're just saying Dennis Prager equals Nazi.
	Yes, and Ben Shapiro, who we're going to get to as well.
	He says, um...
	Ben Shapiro, one of the biggest Israel shills I've ever heard of.
	Yeah, well, you know, he loves it.
	I suppose so, yeah.
	That's what Hitler was fighting for, the rights of Israel.
	This episode is sponsored by my good friend.
	No!
	No, it didn't happen.
	That's complete bollocks, you lunatic.
	Anyway, but the quote from Ben Shapiro is, the argument that Trump is wrong to call some countries asshole comes down to nicety, not truth.
	And the author presents this as if it's like, how could he say such a thing?
	I mean, yeah, this just shows what kind of magazine this is forward, because it's not presenting counter-arguments, it's just stating what was said and expecting you to be indignant automatically.
	Aren't you outraged?
	And also, aren't these people a bunch of whites?
	He says, these thinkers and leaders...
	Ben Shapiro.
	Influencing orthodox values with hate.
	Yeah, that's why I think of Ben Shapiro.
	I think of hate monger.
	Anyway, but also to tell the truth about the Dirt Cookies, that is hate, and to be hateful is to be white.
	There you have it.
	So there's another group in the Great White Tribe.
	The last group to add to the Great White Tribe, which is hilarious, is of course Asians.
	They've been in the Great White Tribe for a long time.
	I don't think they're going to say this.
	Since like in the mid-30s, maybe.
	Yeah.
	I love this.
	The headline here is, Are Asian Americans white?
	Or people of colour.
	I mean, they're Asian, aren't they?
	You would have thought.
	That's generally my argument.
	Opening line.
	Borrowing from W.E.B. Dubois.
	That's a bad start.
	Colour line metaphor.
	Yeah, the guy got the Lennon award.
	Some racial justice activists have asked whether Asian Americans are left or right of the colour line.
	So they're literally just asking, are Asian Americans typically more left or right wing?
	If they're more right wing, they're white.
	I can never get over just how, like, base left-wing racial politics is, where of all days they'll be like, what you're saying is absolutely abhorrent, and then the next day they'll be like, right, so I've got my colour swatch out to tell me whether or not Asians are in the white camp anymore.
	I, okay, I mean, I saw a similar theory smeared in poop in the men's toilets in a bathroom once, but never mind.
	The next headline being, Are Asian Americans White?
	No.
	No, she writes.
	Article over, I suppose.
	One paragraph, one sentence, jobs are good.
	No, because she's going to define what white really means.
	Asian Americans are not white.
	It's true that in certain socioeconomic and demographic measures, such as aggregate income and education levels, suggest that on average, Asian Americans are among the most successful people in the United States, which means you're white.
	Being successful equals white, according to this person.
	The bigger the number in your bank account, the more white you are.
	Yeah, and if the white people are failing en masse, then...
	I don't think our metric changes, because I think Asian Americans have overtaken white Americans.
	So if it's based on your bank account, then I'm...
	For all intents and purposes, I'm practically Haitian.
	Look, you may have your Edward Passback, but please don't use it on air.
	What about the Jewish Edward Passback?
	Yeah.
	represent populations experiencing stark economic inequalities.
	So to tell if you're white, you've got to have all the money.
	That's one metric.
	She says Asian-Americans continue to experience discrimination, hate crimes, racial violence, xenophobia, and concerning levels of racial, ethnic bullying in schools.
	Who from?
	A whole other conversation.
	Who from?
	But the thing is, that's her definition of whether or not you are in the great white tribe.
	If she was going to use that parlance instead of just using the white...
	If you get bullied.
	Do you get bullied for your race?
	Are people xenophobic and racially violent towards you?
	And are you experiencing discrimination?
	I don't think I'm white.
	Um, no.
	You're not white either.
	No.
	Michael, you're not white.
	Good news.
	This is the funny thing.
	This is the reason I wanted to do this segment, because as I'm pointing out, none of the white race is white anymore, and all of the- If those are the metrics, yeah.
	Previously, those who were not in the white race are all in the white race, which is- What an amazing time to be alive!
	They don't want to record quite a lot of crimes against white people done against them because they're white as hate crimes because it's politically inconvenient.
	And I bet a lot of people who are white who have racial hate crimes against them also don't want to report it because they don't think they'll be believed or they think they deserve it on some level, sadly, because a lot of people have been gaslit into hating themselves.
	They have.
	And then we're going to bring up the FBI crime statistics.
	Oh, we're getting spicy now.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Okay, don't say anything.
	The only reason I'm bringing this up is to show that...
	Despite...
	No, no, no, no.
	What we're showing here is, as she said, is your ethnic group being disproportionately impacted by racial violence and xenophobia and crime?
	Well, the murder rate is...
	You can see there are suspects and victims, and I'll let you zoom in in your own time.
	I don't think I'm allowed to say much more.
	And if you go to 2020, it's not much better either for that statistic in particular.
	This was from an article called What's With The Spike In Homicide?
	And then...
	Yeah, that's the results.
	I don't think they wanted to answer this question after they asked it, did they?
	No, they blame white supremacy.
	Anyway, going to bullying in schools, because that's also a thing.
	You may have noticed the bad man is back on Twitter, which is where I found this clip.
	Oh, is he?
	Oh, I'll give him a follow.
	Go do that.
	Otherwise, we shall begin with this clip, which is literally just bullying in schools, but from, I don't know, figures of authority in the schools.
	This is a film, obviously, but this goes on with all kinds of guilt training.
	I've seen this floating around, but I've not watched it yet, so you're going to get a nice, genuine reaction out of me.
	I've cut it down for time, but let's enjoy.
	Channel 4 documentary, let's play.
	Will be decided by the answers to questions that we are going to be asking you.
	What?
	It's a joke.
	People often confuse white privilege with being wealthy or being rich.
	And it isn't about that.
	What it's about is the absence of having to live with the consequences of racism.
	If English is your parents' first language, take a step forward.
	If you have ever been the only person in the room of your race, take a step backwards.
	If you've never been asked where you come from, take a step forward.
	If you've never had to be worried about your family being stopped and searched, What have any of those questions got to do with race?
	What have they got to do with girls' football?
	I mean, that's my big question.
	Well, that's just a field that we're using.
	This is literally just banging into these kids' heads.
	Who's oppressed?
	Who isn't?
	That person at the back, all the way near the centre line, is going to be able to basically bully all the rest of these kids.
	Or it might turn the other way around.
	Well, it's just guilt training.
	That's all this exercise is.
	I just couldn't go over how none of those questions have anything to do with race, though.
	It's like, do you have to worry about the fact that your parents don't speak English?
	It's like, all the Eastern European kids are like, am I black now?
	Is that how that works?
	It's just trying to brainwash and ingrain the idea of this whole, right, we need to worship the minority.
	Under every circumstance...
	Also, I've been asked where I'm from.
	Yeah.
	You've been asked where you're from, I bet.
	Duh.
	Everyone's been asked where they're from.
	The only reason that it's big news is because some retard got annoyed about it and it got in front page news on the newspapers.
	But anyway, just to make it clear, if for no other purpose than YouTube, funnily enough, I think all of this is just hilarious.
	I'm not a racial scientist from a local socialist party who's out measuring craniums to try and tell you who's in the Great White Tribe.
	I'm like everyone we've gone through today.
	I just can't get over.
	Now, if you look at this skull...
	That's unironically what we've been looking at.
	But the funny thing is, I want to end on that, because that is the stupidest thing I've found in relation to race recently, which is Nuance Bro.
	Good guy.
	He hasn't linked it yet.
	Noted white supremacist Indian man, Nuance Bro.
	Yeah, he's linked this YouTube channel, which is just like, I suppose, the mirror image of what we're looking at on the left, though, which is some guy who's trying to tell everyone that the Swiss are not in the white race, and the reason being because he's measured their skulls.
	Serious.
	I'm not joking.
	Based on their skulls, they are Khazars.
	Yeah, they're not white.
	And the thing is, this at least, you know, this somehow makes it even more, you know, it's stupid and makes no sense, but it makes even more sense than at least the crap we've been subjected to from those articles.
	So I thought we'd end on it for a laugh.
	I thought Swiss, Northern European tend to be blonde.
	Surely that's like as white as you can get.
	No, they're Mongols, mate.
	Oh, right, fair play.
	Let's prove it.
	He's got his graph.
	Let's play.
	So here, this here, is Switzerland here.
	These are the borders.
	Here's France, Germany, Fort-Alberg, where they are Swiss.
	So you can see it stops right neat at the border, you know, here in France and here in Switzerland.
	They have a completely different skull form.
	It's like chopped off, you know, neat, clean cut at the border.
	So, these parts are Alsace here, where they replaced the original population.
	As I told you, they're ethnic Swiss here, as in the north of Italy here, and in Austria, Vorarlberg.
	I'm a bit surprised it doesn't show black here in the south of Germany.
	Very surprised.
	But it is dark anyway.
	It's not like here, like the rest of Europe is white, long skulls.
	She's not like with long skulls.
	I feel like it's going to be a...
	Instead of numb skull, I'm going to start calling people short skulls.
	Yeah, okay.
	You mongrel short skull.
	My point for referencing that is I half expect that to be a Vox video within the end of 2023.
	Just them explaining why long skulls and short skulls are...
	I heard a South African accent, so I assume that was Trevor Noah.
	Presumably.
	He's testing the waters for his new show.
	But otherwise, there we are.
	Funnily enough, none of this means anything.
	The point was, there was no point at all.
	None whatsoever.
	Alright, and carrying on swiftly, let's look at some rainbow revisionism.
	So we know that history is not something that has been, you know, fixed interpretations of what they are of history, but history is now not just something that you can interpret, it's malleable, it's plastic, it's something that you can melt and reform in your own image.
	And the question is, Why do people want to change history?
	Why do people want to change people's interpretations of history?
	Well, it's because nothing can exist outside of the current moment.
	Classic Orwell.
	What's the quote from Orwell?
	History had been paved over, something like that.
	Nothing could exist outside of the paradigm of the party.
	I don't know all the Orwell quotes off the top of my head, no.
	Oh, damn.
	I've seen the quote plenty of times.
	Go check our 1984 book club on lowseers.com if you want to find out, because I don't remember, and I did it.
	There you go.
	Excellent plug.
	But we see lots of people, especially in the queer community, trying to revise history, tell you that historical figures were this way or that way, benders, boomers, who knows what.
	Well, I'm trying to be polite here, Callum.
	No need to snigger.
	Are these part of your community's terms?
	Yes.
	Okay, good.
	Well, I'm not a member of the community.
	I'm an ally.
	I think you need to be.
	No, I'm an ally, you see.
	I'm an ally to the benders.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	But yeah, they're trying to rewrite history as always so that nothing can exist outside of the current paradigm so that you can't look back and go, wait, things were different.
	Does that mean things right now are weird?
	Because that might engender some kind of resistance of some form and we can't be having that.
	But before we go any further, there was this recent...
	Premium video that Bo and Connor did talking about life lessons from It's a Wonderful Life.
	Because It's a Wonderful Life is a bit of a historical document to a time that doesn't really exist anymore.
	Where you can have this very wholesome looking American family.
	Look, he's got his wife, he's got his kid right there.
	And the message of the story is basically, life is nice.
	Life is good and you can live a good life.
	Can't be having that no more.
	Can't be having that anymore, can we?
	Because guess what?
	History was gay.
	In the most complimentary way possible.
	Because New York...
	It was happy?
	No.
	It was queer.
	It was queer.
	I love that that's become a thing.
	History was queer.
	It's like, you know the joke about it being the aristocratic class?
	Like, using the aristocratic queer.
	Perfect.
	Yeah, the New York Times came out with a new opinion piece from someone called...
	The word transgender did not exist during the life of Little Women author Louisa May Alcott, but Patonology asks whether it might be the best word to capture the experience of an author who wrote about having a boy's spirit and a man's soul.
	Now, bear in mind, I have not read Little Women.
	I have not watched any of the adaptations of Little Women.
	As far as I've ever been concerned, it sounded like a feminist piece of literature, which are almost inevitably terrible.
	So I decided to avoid it for that reason.
	But I know it, as I mentioned, purely off of its feminist...
	Feminist airs, the fact that it was very popular among feminists.
	Women say, oh, it's a really good book if you want to show.
	Women can be anything they want.
	One of those sorts of things.
	So I don't necessarily think that this author, as we'll go on, is transgender.
	She definitely was relatively subversive, though, given its reputation.
	But on the basis of a random letter that the author sent, saying that she had a boy's spirit and a man's soul, bearing in mind she was writing in the 1800s, means that I can now claim...
	All other famous literary writers of the 18th and 19th century is men as well.
	The Bronte sisters.
	Men.
	How do I know this?
	They race into male pen names.
	Okay, I'm starting to see why the TERFs say that the transgender movement is a...
	Men's rights movement, like a male supremacy thing?
	It absolutely is, because now, under this logic, I can actually claim that the Bronte sisters were men purely because they wrote under male pen names.
	I don't need anything else.
	I don't even need historical context.
	You can say, well, if they didn't write under male pen names, they wouldn't have been able to get published.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	That's very close-minded of you, you see.
	What they were actually doing was expressing their masculine desires.
	Because Emily Bronte really was Ellis Bell, and Charlotte Bronte really was Lord Charles Albert Florian Wellesley.
	I'm so thankful that these brave men can now be liberated from the oppression of history.
	And if we look at the Twitter account of the person who wrote this particular article, Peyton Thomas, if you could click on the profile picture for me there, checks out that this person...
	A biological woman who identifies as a man would have a certain vested ideological interest in trying to distort history.
	Are you doing some research here?
	Are you just looking up the...
	Well, I'd never read Little Women either.
	Are you looking up the plot?
	I do remember a good Simpsons meme where Moe sat reading Little Women.
	Okay.
	Do you remember?
	And he just sits and he goes, they weren't little girls anymore.
	They were little women.
	And he closes it and cries.
	I always wonder, is that in the book?
	So I looked up the PDF. It's not in there.
	Oh, is it not?
	Presumably Moe never read Little Women either, nor did any of the Simpsons writers, so they just were like, yeah, that's probably how it ends.
	Are you telling me that Moe wasn't an ally?
	I'm shocked and appalled.
	His tears were performative.
	But this trans man has a podcast reading Little Women, chapter by chapter, explaining in excruciating detail how each part of it is secretly gay.
	And it seems, to be fair, I'm going to give respect to this guy, apparently one of the very few people who said, I'm leaving Twitter if Elon Musk takes over, and actually hasn't posted since.
	So, you know...
	Give a little round of applause there.
	But let's go to the article and see what the arguments are.
	So the author was Louisa May Alcott, as pointed out, and it says, she balked when her editor asked her to write a book for girls.
	She said, never liked girls or knew many, except my sisters.
	This is not necessarily an admission of being trans.
	This is the 19th century equivalent of I'm not like other girls.
	That's all this is.
	All she's saying is, I don't like girls.
	Trust me, I've met women.
	Lots of them don't like women.
	Women notoriously hard to get along with, even for other women.
	Shocking, I know.
	You alright there?
	I'm just letting you go forward.
	Callum's abstaining to respond?
	Okay.
	Female opinions on females?
	Yeah, not pretty.
	Yeah, yep.
	Louisa May Alcott may never have liked girls or known many, but her name is now synonymous with girlhood.
	I wonder why.
	It's a name that she didn't use all that often in her personal life, though.
	To family and friends, she was Lou, Lou or Lou, all spelt differently for some reason.
	She wrote of herself as the papa or father of her young nephews.
	Her father, Bronson...
	He's back.
	Cock and balls, one, two, three, makes a reappearance.
	Bronson once called Alcott his only son.
	In letters to a close friend, Alfie Whitman, Alcott called herself a man of all work and a gentleman at large.
	And like you say, this is interesting.
	This is where the whole feminist claiming, the TERFs claiming that transgender activism is about erasing women from history.
	Because the TERF argument would be the only reason she would consider herself in such a manner would be because of the social attitudes of the time, correct?
	The only reason she felt that she would have to classify herself as a man was because she was taking part in non-manly activities, that being writing in literature, wanting to participate in wars.
	And once upon a time saying that would have been incredibly sexist.
	Like, the feminist would be like, what do you mean a woman can't just do some manly things without being a man?
	Yeah, it's a point.
	If this was written 30 years ago, it wouldn't be talking about how she was actually transgender.
	It would be talking about how she was being...
	How she was a strong woman.
	Yeah, she was a strong woman being oppressed by the patriarchy that was stepping over her at the time.
	It's absolutely ridiculous, and it's trying to rewrite history in a really...
	Not that, once again, not that I'm particularly familiar with Alcott's work or even having read Little Women.
	It's just obvious that this article is ideological nonsense.
	All this leads me to wonder, however, is Alcott best understood as a trans man?
	I know that there's a lot, like, scroll through, Michael, we can see there's a lot more article here, but all of that, all of this, unnecessary.
	I've got the answer for you.
	No.
	Alright.
	Simple as?
	Simple as?
	Do you reckon that's a good answer?
	Sorry, I was reading the end of Little Women.
	Callum's just like, if we see a tear roll down...
	I wanted to see if it ended with they were no longer little girls, they were little women.
	It just ends with them bitching about the harvest.
	Bloody women, moaning as usual.
	Even in their feminist literary masterpieces, moaning.
	I hope there are fewer TARS and more wheat every year.
	What, the end?
	Maybe you've got to read the other 4,000 pages.
	Is there no twist?
	Where's the murder?
	Presumably.
	I don't know.
	I've only read the last page.
	I feel like George and Blackadder complaining about the dictionary.
	Well, is there any juicy murders?
	Are anybody cheating on each other?
	What's going on?
	Oh, it was a waste of time.
	Throw it in the fire.
	As I poured over letters, journals, and personal papers, I found evidence that Alcott thought of herself more of a man than a woman, as someone, as she wrote in one letter to Whitman, with a boy's spirit under her bib and tucker.
	Okay, once again, this is all to do just with the general attitudes that people had at the time.
	This woman, Alcott, she just felt more like she'd fit more in masculine behaviours as they were understood at the time than feminine behaviours, and therefore said it accordingly.
	It did not mean that she secretly wished for Magnus Hirschfeld to get her under the knife and give her a penis.
	And I don't mean that how it sounds.
	I mean that in the surgical sense, okay?
	A surgical penis, okay?
	Precision.
	Yes, precision penis.
	Okay.
	Alright, precision engineering.
	Alright, that's not what she meant.
	She just meant, oh, don't I act a bit more like a boy?
	And it seems that a lot of people agreed with her at the time.
	That's all it was.
	Let me guess, the chat?
	Yep.
	Okay, alright, let's carry on.
	Before we go get a repeat of Tuesday.
	Oh, you know what's in there.
	Yeah, I know what's in there.
	Alcott scholars agree that she felt a profound affinity with manhood.
	I'm certain that Alcott never fit a binary sex-gender model, said Gregory Islein, a professor at Kansas State University and the current president of the Louisa May Alcott Society, because none of these institutions, even these minor ones...
	Dedicated to literary figures of the past.
	None of them can escape.
	None of them can escape this progressive rot.
	In Eden's Outcasts, his Pulitzer Prize winning biography of Alcott, John Matheson wrote that Alcott believed she should have been born a boy.
	Okay, this is the Cersei Lannister logic right here.
	I should have been born a boy because I'd be a better man than most men.
	That doesn't mean that she's trans.
	Jan Susina, a professor of children's literature, confirmed Alcott may have experienced what we today would consider as gender dysphoria.
	Maybe.
	Or maybe tomboy?
	Or maybe not.
	Or maybe tomboy.
	You know what's funny?
	I did see Brittany Venti posting just before we went live in which she said the tomboy to uber-feminine-girl pipeline is real because she used to be a tomboy and now she's like gushing over anything with Hello Kitty on.
	She purchased a Hello Kitty pen just because it has Hello Kitty on it.
	Right, okay.
	I can confirm I'm engaged to someone who's been from the tomboy to incredibly feminine pipeline.
	Well, I have to do something on this.
	I think there might be a case.
	There might be.
	We need to do a scientific study.
	We'll get Josh on the matter.
	Some fans of Little Women, and thankfully this article actually addresses some of the problems here, some fans of Little Women regard this entire line of inquiry as sexist.
	In April, I wrote a Twitter thread on Alcott's gender identity because apparently this patent author, this is the only thing.
	He read Little Women once and went, I can make a career out of this.
	I'm sorted.
	I've got money in the bank thanks to this bad boy.
	Tennis player Martina Navratilova, I think I got that one okay, who has argued that trans women should not be allowed to complete in women's sports shock, horror, non-ally.
	Reply to me with consternation.
	Do you have any idea how hard you would try to convince me I'm trans if I were born 50 years later?
	Because this tennis player is a lesbian.
	And I think that's just a completely accurate statement.
	It's obviously the truth.
	These people, they like to point and they say like, oh, it's not actually happened, so therefore it's not true.
	No, we can understand and we can see patterns.
	We can see patterns of behavior.
	We know that if this hypothetical reality existed, that's actually what you'd be doing.
	We're not saying that's actually what you're doing right now, but we know that that's what you're doing.
	It's gaslighting to the nth degree.
	Her question seems to imply a concern that understanding a historical figure as a trans man might undermine gender non-conforming women and girls.
	I mean, it does.
	Doesn't it?
	In the classic gender roles, that's what feminism was supposed to be about.
	Women who don't conform to these gender stereotypes.
	I know.
	I know.
	It was a good question, and there's no good answer.
	And, like I say, the rest of the article is just a gender-pushing...
	Because I can find one person who didn't fit gender stereotypes at one time in the 19th century, then that means it's perfectly normal that there's been an over 4,000% jump in young girls identifying as trans.
	The correlation and causation is just obvious to fit right there.
	And she also suggests...
	He, sorry, also suggests that if Alcott had been born later, she might have used transgender to describe herself.
	Well, that's a nice little bit of fiction you've written for yourself there, but you're just a retard talking over 100 years after the fact.
	So, I can say anything.
	I can say that, you know...
	Yeah, but they don't get published in the New York Times somehow.
	I know.
	It's so stupid.
	Do you think...
	I mean, does this mean I can go back and say Booker T. Washington, because he focused on education for freed slaves and black people, education, being responsible for ourselves, not committing crimes, that's how we're going to improve the black community.
	Can I go back and say, oh, he's white.
	Obviously a white man, that Booker T. Washington.
	You could, and you'd probably get published.
	Oh, sweet.
	Great.
	See you all later then, guys.
	I'm off to make some money.
	Okay.
	You're like, what if I was a retarded leftist?
	Is that big money?
	I'm like, yeah.
	You learn nothing?
	I could go on with this article, but it's just retarded, as you expect.
	But the end of it does say here, was Ernest Hemingway a raging misogynist?
	Because we've got to add the rainbow revisionism to elsewhere, to other historical figures.
	Was Ernest Hemingway, and I'm going to ask you this question, a raging misogynist or merely an egg?
	Do you know what egg means?
	No.
	Egg is somebody who is trans and just hasn't realised it yet.
	It's mainly used on Reddit.
	It's a groomer term.
	Sounds like a slur.
	Well, it's a groomer term because if you recognise someone as being an egg, that being trans without realising it, your job as a true ally is to crack the egg so the beautiful, ugly duckling may emerge from it.
	And grow into a beautiful swan of being transgender.
	I assume that's how the metaphor works.
	Well, I think it only has a 58% success rate.
	Well, we'll let the...
	Shall we say?
	But he ends this article quite nicely by laying out the stakes really clearly for what's going on.
	He says, emotions in these arguments run high.
	At stake is nothing less than who gets to claim a hero.
	I mean, that just lays it out.
	That just makes it clear why you're pushing these agendas, why you're trying to do this.
	You're trying to destroy, revise the past so that you can claim all old heroes, all heroes as your heroes.
	Nothing exists outside the paradigm.
	Nothing exists outside the party.
	Everyone who's to be admired from the past has to fit within the current mold.
	There it is, which is why you've got to fight back against it.
	That's the only reason you've got to fight back against it, because otherwise they will claim these people.
	They will warp children's minds in the future.
	This person, Somehow got a New York Times article out of this.
	So, yeah, that's where it's going.
	The Telegraph addressed this and just pointed out one of the problems and the cherry-picking of evidence and the taking it out of context that the author did by just saying there's the journal entry in which she wrote, I long to be a man, which was referenced in the previous article.
	This actually references her desire to fight in the American Civil War, a conflict she later did serve in as a nurse.
	So, once again, I'm sure every other reference that was taken in that New York Times article was also taken out of context, but that's just one just to show you that, yes, these people, shockingly enough, lie.
	I know.
	And there's been other revisionism going on, such as this one, which actually almost sent Michael apoplectic when he saw it, that I saw from the Daily Mail.
	Now, Whole point of a religion, right?
	Exclusivity, right?
	You have to believe in a certain set of precepts to be...
	Enter into the religion.
	Sure.
	Never quite understood gay marriage for that reason.
	I'll be honest.
	Hmm?
	Never quite understood gay marriage for exactly that reason.
	What do you mean?
	Like, I just...
	I never understood at the time where people were like, yeah, I want to...
	I understand the purpose of getting married for, like, you know, government terms and all that.
	But just be like, yeah, I want to join the church.
	But at the same time, funny religious people, they hate gays.
	Isn't that funny?
	It's like, well...
	Well, as far as I can tell, the whole point of that, and I know that there are probably some people who approached it in good faith, but the movement as a whole seems to have taken that as a, we want to rub religion's face in it.
	It was those particular aspects that I found weird.
	Yeah, because there are lots of people within the queer community who basically just want to take...
	They want to take your toys and they want to rip up your toys in front of you, laugh in your face, and then call you a bigot for crying about it.
	But they have no interest as a judge.
	Yeah, they have no interest in it.
	So the updated carol was sung at a Church of England carol service.
	It was created by an American minister.
	Imagine my shock.
	It kept only the first two lines of the original 17th century verse.
	What's the minister's name?
	Out of interest, do they have it?
	It doesn't say in this article, or perhaps it does and I just missed it, but it doesn't say as far as I could tell.
	But the first two lines are the only original ones.
	The second verse says, God rest you also women who by men have been erased, which, given what we were talking about...
	But also, given what we were talking about a moment ago, with Louisa Alcott was not actually a woman, she was really a man in disguise.
	History ignored and scorned, defiled and displaced.
	Oh, for God's sake.
	We actually have intersectional hymns now.
	Yes, and the third verse is God rest you, queer and questioning, your anxious hearts be still.
	There you go.
	Your religion has been turned upside down.
	The religion is not there to worship the actual god that you worship anymore.
	It's now there to worship minorities.
	That's all it's there for.
	They will take your religion, they will take everything that's sacred to you, turn it on its head, and make you worship its exact inverse.
	That's all these people want to do.
	Gatekeep, gatekeep, gatekeep like your life depends on it.
	Then I found another article which I found was funny, which was somebody not understanding what Elon Musk meant when he said to someone on Twitter that he's not cis.
	He tweeted, Responding to Musk's take...
	Author Fred Sharman said we cis people are explicit about pronouns on top of visual cues in order to help normalize their expression for those who might not be cis.
	Simple as.
	If you can understand that without having to break the thesaurus out, fair play.
	To which Musk volleyed back with the baffling response, I'm not cis, you are.
	And the rest of this article is a few paragraphs of somebody going like, but I don't understand.
	So is he trans then?
	Elon Musk comes out as trans?
	No.
	No, if you want an actual explanation for what he meant, he meant that I'm normal, I'm not going to call myself cis.
	Cis is, if you call yourself cis, it means you're a progressive, because progressives would be the only people who would call themselves such.
	So I'm not a progressive.
	I know, I speak a foreign language, so I don't understand.
	I know, it's really stupid and ridiculous.
	But then, to end off this segment, let's give a big, big round of applause.
	Because the New Republic named their Transphobe of the Year as Matt Walsh.
	Give it up, everybody.
	Matt Walsh, scroll down.
	That's what he did all this for, really.
	Yeah, this is all he did it for.
	It wasn't for the recognition...
	Well, it wasn't for, you know, fighting social causes.
	It was all for the recognition.
	Yeah, and they do the classic thing where they say actually right-wingers are the groomers, right-wingers hate children, right-wingers are actually pedophiles, and then list incredibly dubious evidence.
	And they also say here, from bookbans to bomb threats, 2022 has been characterized by a disturbing rise in right-wing violence brought on by the viral moral panic of very online fearmongers.
	And we can just refer to Callum's segment from yesterday to prove that No, the right-wing are not the ones committing more terrorist attacks and more terrorist threats and such.
	We actually have the data that says that they're not.
	But let's all just give a round of applause after Matt Walsh gave his expectant speech on Twitter, saying he was extremely honoured to have earned the Transphobe of the Year Award from the New Republic.
	I want to thank everyone who supported me in pursuit of this goal.
	I didn't do it for the accolades, but I'm grateful and humbled to receive them.
	And with that, I think we'll end there.
	The greatest substance speech.
	Otherwise, we should go to the video comments, I suppose.
	Hello, Lotus Eaters!
	I'm here at Hungry Jack's, Australia's best burgers, in my opinion.
	Don't worry, this is not gonna be a disgusting mukbang video.
	I just wanna show you this burger joint.
	Hungry Jacks was established in 1971, and it's basically Burger King by another name.
	The reason why it's called Hungry Jacks and not Burger King is because there was already a Burger King in Australia at the time.
	This small Burger King had a copyright claim over the name of Burger King, so the Burger King company changed the name to Hungry Jacks.
	I'm actually a huge fan of regional names.
	Give me some examples.
	Well, you've got Hungry Jacks there and Burger King.
	Hungry Jacks.
	Lays and Walkers and stuff like that.
	I assume Russia now has Dick Monalds.
	No, they have...
	Well, it's a bit more complicated, isn't it?
	They've got It's Tasty, full stop.
	That's the name of the girls.
	Like, it's a statement of fact.
	It's tasty.
	Yes.
	It's a demand.
	Well, the Russian language is a curious thing.
	Yep.
	You know what the newspaper used to be called in the Soviet Union?
	What?
	Truth.
	That was the name of the newspaper.
	I believe it.
	It was literally just the word truth.
	So Donald Trump was a bit late to the march then.
	So you want your copy of The Truth?
	Yeah, why don't we change our name to Truth?
	But that's the thing about the Russian language.
	Go to Truth.com.
	It's just funny.
	It's just like, oh, what's the new name for the restaurant?
	It's Tasty.
	It is.
	Yeah, I'm going to start a rival newspaper just called Not Lies.
	Yeah, but I kind of love those little things where you go to a country and it's like, yeah, we have that thing, but it's just called something different.
	I know some people hate it, because they're like, oh, why isn't it all the same?
	Yeah.
	Eh, screw that.
	I don't want it to be the same.
	I'm not a globalist.
	I want to go to America and find some weird stuff they call Cadbury's Big Milk or something.
	I think in Spain and France and some parts of Europe, there is something like Milka.
	That's a separate recipe.
	It's a brand, but it's crap as well.
	Nobody buy Milka.
	To hell with Milka.
	Milka's crap.
	Oh, just a heads up as well.
	Somebody did respond to me on Twitter about the seed oils thing, saying that they're pro-inflammatory.
	It's from Naked and Confused, a man I trust.
	I was cold.
	I was naked.
	You were there.
	You were there.
	Thank you.
	Seed oils are pro-inflammatory and have been linked to several chronic diseases, including high cholesterol, particularly in LDL, due to polyunsat fat.
	Olive oil is better.
	It's about the balance between omega-3 and omega-6.
	OO is balanced.
	Seed oils are O3 heavy.
	Fair play.
	Sounds interesting.
	I am going to try and avoid eating stuff that has seed oils in them just to see what the effect is going to be.
	If I feel better, then I'll see.
	I'm testing.
	This is a scientific test on myself.
	All right.
	Hear the next one.
	So I've got a small request for the new year.
	Could the Lotus Eaters maybe make a short 5-10 minute video explaining to normies why wokeness is a bad idea?
	I find it difficult to explain concisely to friends and family who will say something like, oh, it's just being aware of groups that are disadvantaged.
	What could possibly be wrong with that?
	It would be nice if we had a short video to send to them.
	Anyway, thanks for all your interesting content and keep it up in the new year.
	Yeah, you're not wrong.
	The thing that instantly comes to mind is the what is woke culture that Carl made ages ago, but that is quite long.
	Because that really succinctly makes the point, because Ash did the wonderful job of defining woke culture as the redistribution of power, land and wealth along class, race and gender lines.
	It's like, Yeah, that's terrifying.
	Whoever comes up with that is a lunatic.
	I know, I always think redistributing sounds a bit too even and equal with everything.
	What it is is the seizure of property and wealth from particular classes of people.
	But also, we're going to redistribute along...
	We've done class lines.
	Even normies know that we did that, the communism thing that killed all those people or something.
	But then when you're like, oh yeah, we're going to do it on race, gender, etc.
	lines...
	This could be hell on earth.
	Why not hair colour lines, eh?
	Let's go to the next one.
	Yeah, when it comes to migration laws in Denmark, we're kind of just looking at Sweden and going, you don't want that.
	Actually, right now we are having a full asylum stop.
	If you can't even afford to feed your own citizens, taking in asylum seekers doesn't make sense.
	So just stop.
	It's over.
	It's lovely.
	We are though 150% in on the green agenda, so I guess we like Greta Thunberg.
	I guess it's just getting too hot around here.
	I might have to do it for Denmark with my new boyfriend.
	Cock and balls, one, two, three.
	The thing is, like, with us, we've got this thing where we're just like, well, you're all coming from French and not asylum seekers.
	I do wonder why that conversation doesn't seem to take place in the rest of Europe.
	You're just like, you're coming from Germany.
	Are you fleeing from?
	Okay, yeah, it's Germany, I know, but it's from the Germans.
	We're fleeing from the Germans.
	I mean, that's understandable enough.
	But that's the thing that I was fleeing from the Germans.
	They're fleeing from the new Germans.
	That's what you're fleeing from.
	It's like, right, so you new new Germans are fleeing from the new Germans.
	And then the new new new Germans are going to turn up and not be very happy with you as well.
	Whatever, stay in Germany.
	Yeah.
	Otherwise, let's go to the next one.
	No matter how many times I see it, I never stop being amused by the Democrats and the likes still waffling on about the white man's burden or variations thereof.
	I mean, after all, isn't white privilege actually an expression of white supremacy?
	If you have privilege, that means you're in a superior position.
	So, by trying to help minorities because of white privilege, these people are actually supporting white supremacy.
	Yeah?
	Why is Paper Waifu giving me the eyes?
	Well, you know why.
	You know why.
	It's not Paper Waifu's fault if you can't resist.
	Is that part of your new project with the mechs?
	You're now giving the waifu eyes that move?
	I mean, to be fair, would it be more or less terrifying if it was just a mech approaching you, or a mech with that face on it?
	I think it's more terrifying...
	If the mech's gonna kill me, that's fine.
	If the mech's giving me the side-eye as it comes to me with a knife, that's worse.
	What are you doing with that knife?
	Chat's just like, it's a harlot bot.
	No, it was...
	You raise an interesting point, though, on the white man's burden, because honestly, I've recently finished reading, what was it, Neil Ferguson's book on Empire, and towards the end, when all of a sudden the imperialists show up, not just the people who are like, oh, we just want to make some money in markets over there, but the people who really went hard on the England's glories based on us just expanding over the entire globe.
	Those sorts of people.
	It really does sound a lot like the kind of, oh, we need to lift these people up, my job is to...
	Yeah, the white man's burden.
	Yes, it is the white man's burden is just the same thing that's going on right now.
	They've just dressed it up in the intersectional.
	And I still am like, well, I think the Empire overall stopped slavery.
	Brilliant, yes.
	But for us now in the modern day, I see it as a net negative.
	Because if it weren't for the Empire, we wouldn't have all of these immigrants flooding in in the first place.
	There is a distinction to be made there.
	I watched a video yesterday that made this case, and it was quite good, which is...
	As you say, there's a difference between this empire as it came about, which was by accident and correctly described as such, when we were like, oh, let's make some money in that American place the Spanish had been going.
	Yeah, the East India Company was just like, we're going to set up shop in India, and then the government was like, oh, do you need some help there?
	That's what happened.
	If we have some trade ports in South Africa, then we can make loads of money because it's where all the trade goes.
	You know that Singapore place you've heard of?
	Yeah, a lot of trade goes through there from China.
	What if we had a port in Hong Kong?
	That would make loads of money.
	There's reasons there, and what if we made money?
	It's not about the taking over the world or because of the glory.
	It was only really late in the project that those guys showed up.
	It's the scramble for Africa that it gets really weird.
	Yeah.
	Where it's like, we deserve this.
	Why?
	Because reasons.
	We need to hoist up these uncivilized people so that they can become like us.
	Yeah, and it's like, none of this is making any money.
	In fact, it's a huge drain, and we're not getting anything out of it, and we know in 100 years we're not going to be there anyway, because the plan is, it's a burden that we need to then, you know, lift off.
	Yeah, we lift them up to civilization, and then they can peacefully toss us aside so they can have their own glorious civilization.
	That whole part of the Empire Projects, for all of the European powers, is just like the dumbest moment in all of European history, probably.
	It is, and it leads to all the problems that we have now.
	There was a guy in Serbia I met who made a very similar argument.
	He was like, our first mistake was Yugoslavia.
	Yeah.
	I didn't expect that, but when he laid it all out, he was like, well, look, we were the only guys with an army in the area, in the Kingdom of Serbia, and then we took on all these people and had our Serb burden over there to bring them up and protect them, and then we had World War II, and then afterwards we still got to take care of all these goddamn ethnic groups.
	It all collapsed because of all the mixing.
	They ended up all these enclaves, and then the Civil War happened, and it was like, well, genocide time.
	Well, we all knew it was coming to this.
	Yeah, and I'm looking at this guy laying out his version of history, I'm like, Brother makes a good point.
	Let's go on to the written comments.
	Let's do that.
	Yeah, so for the first segment, Colin P says, Humans evolved to run around the Velt in Africa.
	The more convenient or orientated of our societies became, the less exercise we get.
	Our lifestyle no longer includes sufficient exercise.
	Correct.
	So we take in many more calories than we actually use.
	Correct.
	I would say it's simple maths, but apparently that is white supremacy as well.
	Well, have you considered that it's racist to black women if you lose weight?
	Moving on.
	Lord Nerevar, they want you fat, they want you ill, they want you docile, they want you loyal.
	Don't listen to them.
	Correct.
	Omar Awad says, for an ideology based on progress, they sure as hell hate changing themselves.
	Well, that's always the thing.
	That's always been the thing with this Americanized liberalism and progressivism, is it just means that society is the problem.
	You're a perfect special snowflake, as the phrase goes.
	Therefore, society needs to change around you.
	So, yeah.
	Is racist, sexist, the world needs to grow up, anything to justify staying fat, ignorant, and without responsibilities?
	Yes.
	Ricarcha, I remember Family Guy coming out with a line, Fat chicks need love too, but they gotta pay!
	I'd claim that being a...
	I'd claim that be a lead balloon these days.
	I'm sorry, I can't decipher that properly.
	But the Tumblr crowd work exclusively in lead balloons anyway.
	Bunch of ugly-minded people who take everything in the worst possible way and who assume everyone else is the exact same as them.
	Yes.
	Kevin Fox.
	It's not that they really think exercising is white supremacist.
	Just look at them.
	They're either bloated, green-haired, hairy-arm-pitted, hippocrocodile...
	Why are people saying so many words that I find difficult?
	This is a made-up word.
	Now I know how you feel.
	I think I'm dyslexic now, guys.
	Hippocrocodilla frogs or see-through stick-thin vegan leaflings.
	It's not that they think it's racist, it's that they know they can't do it.
	If words hurt, imagine how dumbbells would feel.
	I would love to just put a pair of four kilogram dumbbells in some vegan's hands and just watch them sink.
	Their legs would snap Their spine would bend in all manner of uncomfortable ways.
	It would just be funny.
	As a joke, obviously.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	It's always like, here's some actually relatively interesting tidbits on history of the development of this particular pastime.
	And here's where it connects to white supremacy.
	What?
	What?
	Wait, it was all going fine, but where'd the white supremacy come into it?
	White supremacy was always there, my friend.
	That's always the tactic.
	Zen Chan, the logic of the blacks are more likely to be fat means fighting obesity is racist is baffling.
	Blacks are more likely to be poor, so promoting them is racist.
	That's genius.
	Clearly, they just want to be poor.
	Yeah, I'm going to throw that one out there next time, actually.
	Colin P, being fit is definitely quite supremacist.
	Look at all those unfit, lazy black sportsmen and women.
	Also an excellent point.
	Someone online, black women can exercise too?
	That is allowed now.
	Since when?
	Wait, I can go to the gym and encounter...
	Oh, God.
	I'm going to have to switch gyms now.
	Charles Ellington.
	90% of weight regulation is sleep.
	Hormones regulate weight.
	Sleep regulates hormones.
	Food, exercise, stress management, water are all the other 10%.
	This is why low-energy diets fail every time.
	Hollywood uses steroids.
	Spoiler alert.
	Yeah.
	All those people who say, oh, it's just...
	Brown rice, chicken, and broccoli for four weeks, and I managed to somehow put on 20 pounds of muscle and go from skinny little boy to beefcake in less than a month.
	Obviously steroids.
	Obviously BS. But I don't know necessarily as much about the whole weight regulation being sleep...
	Obviously, sleep is a massively important factor, and people should aim to get about seven to eight hours of sleep a night, but you can still skip out on sleep somewhat, as long as you've still got your diet and exercise in order.
	You can still get into good shape.
	You will just feel like absolute shit.
	That's the trade-off you've got to do there.
	You can get all three, but you can sacrifice sleep.
	Just wouldn't recommend it.
	Kevin Fox, Harry, a fat tax would put Greg's out of business.
	I no longer support the fat tax.
	Okay, let's go for it.
	Personally, I still would prefer to see the streets littered with spudgy-like shops instead of McDonald's.
	Yeah, as boring as spudgy-like is, it probably would be better for everybody.
	Rue the day.
	Harry the Aryan.
	Is that what I'm getting called now?
	I'm getting called Aryan.
	I know, I'm terrible, aren't I? BMI is a rubbish metric, it doesn't take muscle into account at all.
	That is true, but it would be funny.
	Let's move on to yours.
	Now you can struggle to read words.
	Watch this drive.
	Anyway, Colin P says, Sorry, Larry Elder is white, but Megan Markle is black.
	Oh, sorry, I forgot to capitalize the adjectives.
	I don't know if Megan Markle is in the white or the great white tribe or not.
	I don't think she's any.
	She wants to be black.
	Desperately, she wants to be black, but she isn't.
	In the Harry and Megan...
	She even points out herself that back in the day when she was doing auditions for all these shows...
	Yeah, like, she just went, oh, I had to explain to people that I'm black.
	I was on suits for, like, a year.
	That's not true.
	I was on suits for a year and they only realised I was black halfway through filming season two because I told them...
	Dirty liar.
	Have you seen her CV? No.
	So the CV she sends to all these people has her race on it that she wrote and it's white?
	Are these dated all the way back then as well?
	I believe so.
	Okay.
	It's right up to the point that she meets Harry and then all of a sudden she's a black lady.
	Well, that makes sense.
	Like Kamala Harris, she was not black until she ran for VP. Well, that makes sense as to why she would have to explain to these people that she's black After a certain amount of time, because they even interview producers and directors who worked with her who were just like, yeah, we just thought she had a tan.
	We're in California.
	Everyone's got a tan.
	Have you ever seen a Spanish person?
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Mr.
	Century says, always funny how they'll say an us or them mentality is a right-wing thing.
	Now let me tell you why Asians are not one of us and one of them damn whiteys.
	They are.
	Part of the Great White Tribe.
	I love the idea that you just flip-a-roo all of the Rhodesian propaganda, and it suddenly becomes intersectional propaganda of the Great White Tribe, but it's just all the minorities working together.
	Well, once again, James Lindsay literally just rewrote a passage from Mein Kampf in feminist language, and it got published.
	I think we can do it.
	Anyway, Andrew says, I can't say I'm terribly surprised there's a Jewish slur for black people.
	Black-Jewish relations are amongst the worst ethnic relations I can think of.
	Yeah.
	Have you ever had a look at that Wikipedia last year?
	No, I haven't.
	There is a Wikipedia list that is just called Black...
	What is it?
	African-American Jewish Relations?
	Or Black-Jewish Relations?
	Not great.
	It is a big old Wikipedia article.
	Oh, I bet it is.
	It's not pretty.
	Sophie Lev Peterson says, Ironic that this is bullying by the teachers to their white students.
	There's actual bullying in the clip.
	Yes, sadly.
	It truly is.
	Edward of Woodstock says, 80 and other countries in Africa...
	80 is not in Africa.
	Yeah, that's a very good point.
	I didn't pick up on that.
	Oh yeah, we didn't point that out.
	Other African countries.
	Oh god, you know what they're doing?
	Like Portugal, that famous African country.
	Well, someone who's never seen a map and just goes, black people, that must be in Africa.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's American, so what do you expect?
	God, that really is a ghetto, like the David Duke level of worldview.
	No, the problem is I reckon David Duke is far more knowledgeable about these things than all of these people.
	David Duke's probably like the Justin Theroux South African white guy who's, I'm a racist, but why are you hanging out with all these black people?
	Well, they're more racist than I am!
	I've turned Welsh all of a sudden.
	The Welsh of Africans.
	But it is...
	True.
	This is something people have to grapple with when they interact with some extremist movement.
	It doesn't matter the extremist movement, but usually, as a general rule, like the guys who ran Al-Qaeda, for example, incredibly educated, incredibly succinct on the global situation.
	Pol Pot went and studied in France.
	It's not just about them having a university education.
	Any old retar can have a university education, as we found out, going from the university system.
	But the people you'll meet in those circles usually know a hell of a lot.
	They're not idiots.
	No, they're very smart people.
	They've just rotten themselves into an ideological presumption.
	They tend to be very smart, that's why they get stuff done, they're good organisers, but they just have very extreme beliefs.
	But the reason they have that is just because they've learnt a lot about a subset of knowledge, and then they've added some presumptions in there, and all of a sudden it just takes you on like a hook, and you end up in David Duke territory or something like that.
	Yeah, I mean, look at someone like Ted Kaczynski, for instance.
	He's really smart, but he's also...
	Don't look at Kaczynski.
	I don't know.
	No, no, no.
	I'm not saying that anybody should, you know, go by his beliefs or anything, but he's obviously an incredibly intelligent person.
	Anyway, so just doing this off.
	So someone online says, once everyone's part of the whiteness, no one will be.
	No, white people aren't part of the whiteness, so that's that.
	Oh, I mean, we've confirmed that now.
	We'll end this off just a couple from yours.
	Alright, someone online says, sexist, only women do the dishes.
	Progressive, doing the dishes makes you a woman.
	Oh god, I'm a woman!
	Oh no!
	Kevin Fox, the old thing was that...
	Local man does sewing.
	Is he trans?
	That is actually the article.
	That's the argument, yeah.
	The old thing was that history is written by the victors, but now changed to history must be rewritten by the green-haired map furries.
	Yes, sadly.
	Metal Dave says, "I'm glad I did my English degree before the onset of woke ideology.
	The interesting and open discussions we had about issues of race, sexuality, etc. in literature just wouldn't be deemed appropriate today.
	Regarding Bronte as trans because of a pen name, Facepalm." Once again, that wasn't the argument they were making.
	That's the argument I'm making, based on their own logic.
	That's just what I can do now.
	Emily Bronte, turns out, really was Ellis.
	Ellis Bronte.
	Andrew Narog, leftists love to revise history because actual history makes them look bad.
	Consider the many failed attempts at communism that clearly weren't communism.
	Yep.
	Zen Chan, tomboy erasure is the worst part of the modern feminist lens.
	Back in my day, women who played football and got in fights at school were great.
	They were cool like a guy, but hot like a girl. - That's the most 90s way of putting it I've ever heard.
	And on that note, it's time to end the show.
	Actually, I want to end on that note.
	It's good.
	Yeah, let's end there.
	So if you want more from us, leslias.com, of course.
	Otherwise, back tomorrow, 1 o'clock.
