	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 22nd of March 2023.
	I'm I'm joined by Stelios.
	Hello.
	And today we're going to be talking about things that you should already know.
	The French are burning down France, again, which is good to see, and chicken washing, which is not something I thought I'd ever talk about.
	Who washes chicken?
	Well, we'll find out, won't we?
	Otherwise, we shall begin with the things you should already know.
	There are a lot of things you should already know in life, I think, at this point.
	Especially in politics.
	And what we're going to be talking about today is some people who, frankly, really should have known better and for some reason didn't.
	And one of those being Piers Morgan, which we'll get to in a minute, because he's the guy that inspired this, because he did a little sit-down with trigonometry.
	Which was interesting, don't get me wrong, but there was something in there that really irked me.
	Badly.
	But we'll start off with something on LotusEast.com being Tucker Carlson's Anglo-Saxon political traditions.
	This is something that every American should have known.
	I don't know why this is controversial.
	I don't know if you remember this saga, but he came out and said that the Americans have Anglo-Saxon political traditions because, obviously, America comes from the Anglo-Saxon world.
	Because, you know, they speak English and all that.
	And he was pilloried for this.
	They were like, how dare you say such racist things?
	I was like, what?
	Yeah, the white race.
	The only white people on earth in English.
	Okay.
	It was just really funny at the time.
	But we'll get to Piers Morgan, because Piers Morgan did this.
	Sit down.
	There, they've put out one clip.
	This is like the promo clip before they do the full thing.
	That's coming out 7pm UK time.
	I like trigonometry, so I've got a problem plugging them.
	But they had Piers Morgan on, and Piers Morgan, for people who missed it somehow, he was a massive bellend during COVID, specifically.
	Was it when he was going and doing interviews from psychopaths also?
	Psychopaths?
	main one where he came out and was just like, look, everyone needs to do this and do that.
	And we need to lock down and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And a load of just wrong decisions.
	Was it when he was going and doing interviews from psychopaths also?
	Psychopaths?
	Yeah.
	I think he has some interviews.
	Well, he did a psychopath documentary or what do you mean?
	I think so, yeah.
	He was going around doing... I don't know if it was during COVID, but... It's just like me!
	No, but this is a sit-down where he's basically just being like, well, I got all of that wrong.
	And... Okay, people can make up their opinions on him and that part of it.
	But the thing I found most interesting is when he was talking about what it means to be a journalist.
	And this is something I really thought everyone should have already known if they were a quote-unquote journalist.
	I mean, Piers used to work, what was it, as the editor for the Mirror.
	That ended spectacularly, but hold on to the story.
	But we'll play the clip that's of relevance.
	Based on a completely erroneous scientific assessment.
	Now, you might say, well, you shouldn't have said it anyway.
	I would sort of agree.
	I would say something else, actually, which is I think that you have a duty to be skeptical.
	As a journalist, that is your job.
	I've learned a lesson in the pandemic about that.
	Definitely.
	Definitely.
	And I would totally accept that.
	I think I was too strident anyway.
	Got too kind of wrapped up in it all.
	But, you know, I had good reasons for it.
	I had one of my colleagues at Good Morning Britain, Kate Garraway, her husband was in a coma from COVID.
	I have four or five friends and family who lost loved ones, had to say goodbye to their parents on FaceTime and care homes where it had ripped through and so on.
	So I was very, like, emotionally invested in it.
	Probably too much so for a journalist, but I accept that.
	But on that key point of the transmission, the scientists then said, Bit later, actually, it turns out there's not much difference between whether you've had the jab or not for transmission.
	And at that point, I realized everything I'd been saying was completely wrong.
	That just really weirds me out.
	Yeah.
	I mean the whole, oh, I've got, I'm wrong now.
	I've changed my mind thing.
	And he gives reasons as to why.
	And as he gives there, I had, I had good reason to be mad things, which is the, I was emotionally invested, which I shouldn't have been.
	It was like, yes.
	That will completely destroy your reasoning power in especially political matters.
	But the best part there is where Constantine points out, you should have been skeptical.
	Yep.
	Wait, when the authority comes to you and tells you this is the case, why would you just immediately trust them?
	This is textbook John Locke.
	You have a duty to be sceptical of your government, because unless you do so, the government will show the tendencies of extending its reach.
	And I love the idea of what did Piers Morgan exactly think a journalist's duty was?
	I don't know, it had to do something with emotion.
	But if it wasn't being skeptical and not getting emotionally invested in the story you're covering, which will completely destroy your ability to actually convey information, what did he think being a journalist was?
	Yeah, but it isn't about feelings nowadays.
	It was just pure feels.
	I had feels.
	And the state told me something, so I just believed them.
	I mean, I'm not trying to be too mean, because I'm trying to be reasonable in the sense of trying to take him at his word.
	But I just... A man who spent, apparently, most of his life in this sphere, endlessly, doesn't understand what a journalist is.
	At the most, like, basic levels.
	Even if you've never taken a journalism class, you should know that.
	I mean, this is just revealing the standard of people who call themselves journalists, because what does that term mean?
	Well, these days it means someone who works for corporate media.
	That's all those people are, frankly.
	You get independent ones.
	Mostly on the internet.
	Don't love corporate media.
	Not in the mainstream sense, in that way.
	But he was there.
	And these people are unbelievably mediocre.
	I mean, really, just don't even think about what they're doing.
	In the sense of, should I try and be, for example, not emotionally invested?
	Should I try and be a bit skeptical?
	I think most journalists are emotionally invested in what they're doing.
	And most articles are showing this.
	Yeah.
	But to not take any steps to even try and mitigate that?
	Yeah.
	It is just mad, though.
	It's just really revealing the level of individual you actually see on your TV.
	I mean, this is kind of funny, but my dad was shouting at the TV once, because there was some channel on it that spouted bollocks, as usual.
	And I was down visiting them, because I don't have a TV.
	They've got a TV down at my folks' home.
	And I turned to them and was just like, look, think about who this person is.
	And when you sit for a minute, you just realize, oh, God.
	The person I'm looking at on the TV really is so goddamn mediocre.
	If you met them in real life, you'd probably be just appalled that they have a position in which they can talk like that.
	Because, I mean, with Piers Morgan here, he says it in his own terms.
	His behavior was just ridiculous.
	Just not based on the facts, and didn't regulate himself.
	There's some other people who have learned what they really should have known already.
	Humza Yousaf, being the most recent one here, in which you may remember Humza decided to pass a hate crime bill.
	Is he the one in Scotland who was saying that unfortunately Scotland is white?
	Yes.
	He was protesting.
	He found that abhorrent for some reason.
	He did say white rather than white.
	Incapable apparently.
	But he was very very upset about that.
	Don't know what he was expecting to find in Scotland.
	Presumably, I don't know, Taiwan.
	But he didn't.
	And now he has been reported to the police for breaking his own law.
	And some comments to the trans rapist, the most recent one in Scotland that's got a high profile.
	Unfortunately, in this case, the law hasn't come into effect, so he won't be charged with his own law breaking, but just the same goddamn guy breaking his same law.
	You may remember, this is the law that, what was it?
	If you have hate speech within your own home, amongst your family, even that's a crime, even though nobody else heard it.
	And what counts as hate speech?
	Did it cause offence?
	Maybe.
	It hurts feelings.
	It hurt my feelings.
	If your little teenage girl who's been to university and now knows so much, I swear, is offended by you saying, yeah, that's not the case.
	Might have died because of the drugs in the system.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, that's crime.
	OK, but we're going to Primark.
	Primark have also learned something they should have known already.
	They've now introduced women's only changing rooms.
	Okay, yeah.
	It's the invention of the century, folks.
	I know we had invented this last century.
	Yeah.
	But then we go again.
	You know why this?
	I find this incredibly funny because on the one hand it's obvious what it means, but on the other I think it's trolling.
	You mean like, what do you mean by Primark clothing?
	Because, you know, it's obvious that women are biological females, but they're trying to, you know, play along with a game.
	They try to have a step on both boats.
	I mean, there's a funny aspect to this as well, which is, so for people listening, let's sign up in Primark, which is a clothing store.
	They write, these fitting rooms are for women only.
	And then below, they have, we also have any gender fitting rooms available for everyone.
	Please ask.
	So the men's and the, uh, everyone else.
	Yeah.
	Is one place.
	And then the women is another place.
	You have a non-binary fitting room.
	But it's with the men.
	Interesting.
	I also just can't get over how... I'm sorry I harp on it a lot, but we did a segment about the first ever women's toilet that was invented for public use in Britain.
	And this is considered like some marvel of the age.
	Some guy, I can't remember his name, but he was some famous guy.
	A wonder of the world.
	Yeah.
	Well, he was just like, well, maybe we have a women's loose where they won't get raped.
	And someone was like, that's a genius idea!
	And I don't know, they put him on a throne, walked him through London, royal parades, presumably, some other things, and we just completely ignored all of that.
	I mean, we put women in separate prisons for the same reason, but no, no, they're actually reinventing the goddamn wheel.
	It hurts some people's feelings to have them in separate prisons.
	It does indeed.
	There's also some funny aspects about things you already should have known.
	I found out if you go and check out the Dali AI, you can do some funny things, such as I decided to check about the channel migrants.
	So if you type in refugees crossing the English channel, even the AI now will just draw men.
	I mean, very disfigured men, because it's an AI, but I don't notice any women among them, which is good fun.
	Please do send me any other versions of things you can find from the AI.
	Looking forward to it.
	But then we'll get to a main story for me, which I also just grabbed my interest.
	Minneapolis.
	City of Dreams.
	City of Floyds.
	Well, one Floyd.
	Think that's about all it's known for these days.
	Is that in Minneapolis for anything else?
	No.
	Anyone?
	I don't know.
	I think even in the United States.
	I mean, maybe Murbor- what is one of these to call it?
	Murderapolis?
	But I think there again.
	Anyway, this story here.
	Ex-racial equity director alleges toxic Minneapolis City Hall accuses black leaders of racism.
	She is black, in case you're wondering, and she's a victim of anti-black racism by a load of black people.
	Can this happen?
	I don't know.
	Is this supposed to be possible?
	If there are no white people in the city, is there still white supremacy?
	I think yes.
	It's the ghost that haunts the city.
	It's the ghost that haunts Minneapolis.
	Yeah.
	I mean, we went over this with Barbados a while back.
	There is no peace with this thing.
	Because in Barbados, 100% of the parliament are black.
	Prime Minister, black.
	100% of the parliament, not also just of one skin tone, all of the same party.
	Literal one party state.
	All the left-wing party.
	And yet they had protesters in the hundreds marching down Barbados, screaming, end white supremacy!
	Because it's still there somehow.
	It's like with the Tyree Nichols case that we had five black police officers killing Tyree Nichols and then it was suddenly white supremacy.
	That was the fall.
	That was what Cory Bush was saying and other CRT people.
	It was always white supremacy, never Asian supremacy.
	I mean, why not?
	You've got just as much evidence.
	But this lady over here, Taisha Green, says City Council President, President Andrea Jenkins, and Council Member Latricia Vitao, both of whom are black, are anti-black.
	They disagree, writes the outlet.
	I wonder why.
	Who could figure that one out?
	So Minneapolis recently departed race and inclusion director isn't leaving without a fight.
	Quote, I'm not anti-black, but I am anti-incompetence, said Jenkins in response.
	Oof.
	In her memo dated March 6th, Green, the alleged victim of anti-black racism by black people, states that what I have experienced here is, in fact, anti-black racism, and that some of that racism was done at the hands of other blacks people in this enterprise.
	So she's not even ignorant.
	She didn't write this being like, I was a victim of racism and then found out, oh crap, they're all black.
	She sat there and went, yes, all these black people hate me because I'm black.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	This is the excuse of the times.
	She continues that having been, quote, in the belly of the beast for nearly a year.
	Yeah, that's right.
	She's been a member of the Klan.
	Fighting it from the inside, brother.
	She knows all their dirty secret meetings where they heil Hitler every evening.
	I think at the end of every council meeting.
	Minneapolis holds, matures, coddles, perpetuates, and massages a racist anti-work culture.
	It gets very boring.
	Everything is described as racist.
	Everything is described as hurting people's feelings.
	I mean, we can't go forward this way.
	I don't think she's... Well, I'm impressed by her.
	She's not even sitting there being like, well, it's racist, you know, minimal effort, lost point.
	I'm going to get a payout, so I'll just do the thing.
	We all know we'll get pays.
	But she's like taking on some kind of creative writing class.
	She's like, you know, it's not just that the Minneapolis city holds racist culture or something.
	She holds, matures, coddles, perpetuates, and massages racist culture.
	Really?
	They make cups of tea of anti-black racism?
	Do they sing lullabies of anti-black racism in their culture?
	Whatever.
	But let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
	Because, as mentioned, the city of Floyd's, as it, I think, will eternally be known at this point, had that George Floyd thing that happened.
	And, well, what happened afterwards?
	Minneapolis lawmakers vowed to disband police department in historic move.
	Report of the Guardian, two years ago.
	You may remember, the whole defund the police thing was actually, like, the moderate of the movement.
	The radical of the movement was disband the police.
	It wasn't even defunded.
	It didn't completely get rid of.
	Which of course Defund also had on their ballot paper in their mind, but at least getting rid of most of their money isn't just cancel the police.
	Which, when you put it like that, just sounds even more retarded than whatever.
	Just, what a time to be alive.
	You can see here, this was city council members.
	So the city council of Minneapolis, two years ago, were like, yeah, we're gonna disband the police department.
	Were they organizing the kneeling sessions after this?
	I think so.
	Maybe, because, I mean, as she said, she's been in the belly of the beast for years, and she's seen the holding, the maturing, the coddling, the massaging, and the perpetuation.
	And, I don't know, cups of tea making of anti-black racism.
	So presumably after they said they were going to disband the police, they then went and I don't know, nailed some black people's necks.
	Fun.
	It's just what Minneapolis city does.
	Well, in July, 2020, they actually did manage to move $1.1 million away from the police.
	They did actually try to defund the police.
	Apparently they had to pass a law to do this directly.
	So instead they started just siphoning money off from other programs.
	How is this supposed to help people?
	How is this supposed to protect them?
	Because these racists.
	Yeah.
	So we've taken a million dollars away from... I don't think you need to say anything else.
	Well, Mr. Racism, we've taken a million dollars away from him and we've given it to Mr. Anti-Racism.
	You want to hear what Mr. Anti-Racism does?
	Is it the candy dude who can't define racism?
	Sadly, but I mean someone should write a Mr. Man book about all this.
	So the committee approved an amendment to move the 1.1 million dollars from the police department to the health department.
	Okay, maybe they're going to fund heart disease?
	At least they understand that with fewer policing there's going to be more crime and more injuries and more people.
	That's some... No, no, no.
	What we're going to do is we're going to send the doctors out to the streets.
	Yeah.
	No, I'm not kidding.
	They say they move the money in order to fund civilian violence interrupters.
	Yeah.
	I don't know what that means.
	How does that stop violence?
	Like being a doctor in a war zone.
	They're going to turn up and debate the guy with the gun.
	The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good debater.
	Yep.
	With no gun.
	Okay, Destiny, you're up, bro.
	Like, you've got to be thrown into the ring.
	But then in December, they also figured out how to move apparently $8 million.
	So over a series of Floydian months, they decided, well, we'll just move about $8 million away from the police.
	So they did actively defund the police.
	They weren't able to disband it.
	Yeah.
	So there you have it.
	But then they put the whole police department budget to a vote in 2021.
	That makes zero sense.
	It just shows that many people want to see society burn.
	They don't care about policing.
	They've got a full costed plan.
	So they're not just madmen.
	They want to replace the city police department with the public safety department.
	What is this?
	I don't know.
	What is this?
	Because any of the parts of policing, such as, you know, law enforcement, deterrence, the use of force, etc.
	were all defined as racist things.
	In which case, whatever this public safety department would do, presumably it's on the same as what were they called?
	The violence interrupters.
	I think it sounds like a mob, but I don't know if it is.
	I don't know, I think we're going to fund a lot of left-wing guys who are going to run down to a neighbourhood, don't say which neighbourhood, and when they find some guy shooting a pregnant woman in the stomach and then her head, he will go and try to disrupt the violence with interpretive dance.
	Yeah, funnily enough, even 56% of the public in Minneapolis voted against that.
	Because they were like, well, that's retarded.
	Yeah.
	Like, I might be an insane person who lives in an insane city, but I'm not that insane.
	Because I gotta be honest, 56% is not high enough.
	I mean, these people... It's low for this.
	Yeah, I mean, massive Democrat place.
	So, I mean, not unexpected.
	Large outbreak of mental illness, but not even for the mentally ill.
	This was too far, it seems.
	So we have two local Democrats who now suddenly think this is all a bad idea as well in the state.
	Even Democrats are now admitting... Oh, now they found out it's a mistake.
	Yeah, in 2021 they were like, hang on a minute, now that we polled the public and even they think we're mad, in Minneapolis, we should probably stop that.
	And of course, well, a lot of people had to die to teach the college degree holders that maybe this was bad.
	But go to CNN, my favourite Donald Trump favouring outlet.
	They write in here.
	In 2020, the number of murders soared to nearly 80, dwarfing the 2019 body count of 46.
	This is almost double.
	Great.
	It has cooled somewhat this year.
	Great.
	Although the amount of killing and violent crime in general remains elevated far above the 2019 levels, and homicide is on pace to surpass the 2020 figure.
	So we've got more than double murder in the next year there.
	What a surprise.
	Well, CNN right.
	The reasons why are far from clear.
	Yeah, the hell they are.
	Nobody knows.
	I mean, the thing is that these lessons are costly.
	Something happened in 2020 in Minneapolis.
	There's a question as to what are these people Reading and learning in the universities that give them their public administration degrees.
	Or, you know, the politicians that they get elected and they put forward an agenda like that.
	Well, I mean, they've read a lot.
	I think I've told you before, you know about the chicken paper?
	No, I don't.
	All right, if you type in chicken paper, it should turn up.
	There was a guy, he wrote an academic paper.
	Every single word is replaced with the word chicken.
	And there are loads of graphs and things of chicken against chicken over chicken.
	And you see the points that are all labeled chicken, chicken, chicken.
	So you could spend your entire life telling me you've written academic papers.
	I mean, it's about as useful as the chicken paper in regards to actually dealing with these problems.
	But we'll get back to the story, because this is the thing that everyone should have already known, which is, this lady, waste of money.
	You're director of equity and inclusion, or whoever cares what title she gives herself.
	Like, obviously just Grifter.
	Like, the job means nothing.
	It is just a way to sit around stealing cash, in my opinion.
	Why did they put belonging now?
	Wasn't it supposed to be diversity and... yeah.
	I have no idea.
	Whatever.
	You belong in a new order.
	Her last day, on March 13th, followed weeks of scrutiny surrounding her planning of the city's inaugural Black Expo.
	Dude, where's this going?
	going, and the allegedly false statement she made about it.
	The February 24th event fell far short of Green's hoped for attendance of 20,000 people and left some vendors feeling let down.
	What the hell is a black expo?
	Is what I thought looking at this?
	I don't know.
	I don't actually understand what that's meant to be.
	I mean, in my head, I'm thinking of like a Key & Peele sketch.
	But, let's take a look at the next link.
	So we can see it.
	There you are.
	That's what it is.
	It's a bunch of people with Pan-African nonsense.
	Well, let's just put it frankly.
	American Pan-African nonsense.
	Where they're just like, yeah, we was Africans.
	That's why I've got a pharaoh symbol.
	You don't know anything about Africa.
	You just found some symbols.
	I mean, I bet these people couldn't even tell you the difference between East and West Africa or North or South.
	But there's just like, yeah, my homeland.
	If you scroll down a little bit, we can see this stall there that just has Black Lives Matter painted over a Pan-African flag, which is hilarious, as we pointed out before, because, you know, the Africans were the slavers.
	So whatever.
	Can there be a White Expo or not?
	Maybe a question we should ask.
	The Minneapolis White Expo.
	I bet you could get more attendance than the Black Expo did.
	Because they say in here that they inaugurated the I Am My Ancestors Wildest Dreams Black Business Expo.
	That is the real title they used.
	So they are actually doing the ancestors meme.
	They set aside 400,000 US dollars for this and then had to double it.
	Because there wasn't enough money to rent a hall.
	400 grand.
	Sorry, no, 800 grand now, we got spent.
	I think it went up to 900,000, they said in the video there.
	And it turns out this lady who has wasted all that money and then wasted her own salary, and we really should have known, don't hire these people.
	What the hell's wrong with you?
	Did you phone the police?
	What the hell's wrong with you?
	What do you think was going to happen?
	There are better things to do with $800,000.
	Burn it.
	Invest it.
	Burn it.
	No, literally burn it, because the vendors you turned up spoke about the fact that the wasted time they had to deal with this expo.
	On average, the vendors lost $2,000 each.
	Okay.
	Literally, if they had sat at the council and just burnt the money to keep warm, would have made everyone in the city better off, especially the black community there, as they would say.
	Imagine the kind of existential dread when you burn money and then you realize that you could have done better things with it.
	I don't trust that they could have because we gave them it and they didn't.
	At least the council didn't.
	We'll go back to the story though because it turns out apparently she's not the first person to should have taught them a lesson.
	Some sentiments in green, the lady who was whining, memo echoes thoughts expressed by the former city workers of colour as well.
	Her predecessor, for example, Joy Marsh, who previously held the title of Race and Equity Director, You know, honestly, I find this very boring and annoying.
	Zafira of the race and equity.
	Sorry, but it just makes me laugh.
	In May, Marsh penned a public letter alleging that during her year-long tenure, she and other non-white workers were subjected to gaslighting, marginalization, and tokenism in an organization that is built upon policy and practice that centers whiteness.
	You know, honestly, I find this very boring and annoying.
	I don't know if these two can go together, but...
	I love it.
	I mean, no, honestly, what is it?
	It's...
	It's annoying.
	But you just, I find that amazing because you've got this council in particular, the City Hall here, who are just, I mean, just nuts.
	So I mean, maybe that explains it.
	And we've gone through some of the history with Floyd, of course.
	But they had one lady turn up and be their Führer of Race and Diversity.
	And she, well, turned around and sued them for all being racist.
	So they hired some other lunatic and she turned around and sued them for all being racist.
	When the reality, of course, was they were both just useless and incompetent.
	I mean, she wasted 800 grand on renting a hall.
	I don't know how you do that.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if you steal it, maybe that'll work, but other than that, seriously, just burn it.
	It'll be better.
	And one other thing with the AI, you can just look up head of diversity and equality there.
	And I don't know about you, I can already hear just them saying to me, some people have been complaining about things you've said in the workplace.
	Go to hell.
	Don't want to listen to it.
	But anyway.
	What about the bottom row in the middle?
	What is the background?
	Is it like a saint in the making?
	The Virgin Mary?
	Over there?
	Yeah.
	I think that's how they think of themselves.
	Oh, that's just tiring bureaucracy.
	But the thing being, a bunch of examples of things people should have already known.
	Piers, you should have known what a journalist is.
	A real weird thing for the end of your career to figure out what that is.
	And apparently, according to your own words, and in regards to Minneapolis, get what you deserve.
	Okay.
	All work and no play makes Macron a dull boy.
	In the recent weeks, the French President Emmanuel Macron has lost 13% of his popularity.
	13% of his popularity.
	From 41% it fell to 28%.
	And this is because he pushed forward some pension reforms that many people think that they were pressing and that they were necessary for the French public and the French state.
	But But also the way that he handled the motion and the way that he enforced the bill was particularly agitating for some.
	We will talk about this, but I want to say that I think that we will, to understand why the French are burning Paris again and other cities, we need to understand both the economic aspect of it and the demographic aspect of the issue.
	And I think that this highlights a discussion that Conservatives should have, especially boomer conservatives and zoomer conservatives, about how to tackle the demographic problem and how to deal with the economy in the meantime.
	Now, speaking of conservatism, if you want to support us, you can visit our website and for just five pounds a month get access to all our premium content and have access to conversations such as Oakeshott's Conservatism, where Karl and I are talking about Michael Oakeshott.
	He was a really interesting English conservative.
	who has some brilliant essays.
	He's really pithy, and his language is beautiful.
	And if you're interested in conservatism, it's really worth checking.
	And one thing that towards the end, we're talking about the relationship between reason, tradition and progress, and many people I've heard have found it to be somehow white pilling.
	So you might as well check if you want.
	Now back to our topic.
	If you think, if you're out of ideas of where to dine and you want to basically take your spouse out or go out with your friends to have a eat, to eat, the French have the solution.
	That's very nice.
	You need some change of scenery every once in a while.
	I love how cool everyone is.
	Yeah, you don't want to see the same view all the time.
	You want some changes.
	That is just great.
	Everyone accepts it.
	It's just like, yeah, I know where I live.
	I've been here a while.
	I don't know if it's the people who burned the things afterwards and then went to eat.
	You need a good meal after exercising and flexing your revolutionary muscles.
	But okay.
	Now, the thing is that to understand why the French are burning cities of their country, we need to understand a bit what the reforms are.
	And to do so, we need some context.
	So, France has a pay-as-you-go pension system that is very costly for the state.
	It is calculated to cost around 14.5% of the GDP.
	We'll get there in a minute.
	Now, the thing is that in the 80s, the French had a socialist president, Francois Mitterrand.
	And Mitterrand did something that was basically like a hot potato for his successors.
	He took down the retirement age from 65 years old to 60 years.
	And ever since, the French are basically really hesitant to accept any kind of reform.
	And they engage in massive protests every time someone tries to change this.
	In 1997, the right-wing president called Jacques Chirac tried to make some alterations and changes, but there were massive protests and, you know, again, the French were burning stuff, and he decided to not go forward with it.
	Then we had Nicolas Sarkozy, who raised the age from 60 to 62.
	But again, there were months of protests.
	Then we have the other socialist, François Hollande, who what he did, it has been described as a bit sneaky.
	He kept the retirement age to 62.
	But he increased the number of the working years that were required for someone to qualify as someone who should get a full pension.
	Now, so what Macron did was to put forward this, in a sense, policy that has been very unpopular with the French.
	Let me just say again what the policy is supposed to be about.
	So, it involves the following steps.
	First, raising retirement age from 62 years to 64 years by 2030.
	Now, he wants to increase three months extra work every year until 2030.
	And step number two, he wants to raise the contribution period required for a full pension to 43 years.
	By 2027 and he wants to end the 42 special pension schemes and make a universal pension schemes.
	So basically what happens is that he wants to lower retirement.
	He thinks that Lower retirement age would be maintained for some workers, such as police officers and firefighters whose jobs are considered to be very demanding physically and sometimes mentally straining.
	And he also proposes to increase the guaranteed minimum pension for low-income workers to 85% of net minimum wage.
	Now, if we look at this link of OECD, we get a sense that France has Around 13 to 14 percent of GDP.
	I'll just read this paragraph.
	It says Greece and Italy spend the largest proportion of national income on public pensions among OECD countries in 2017 at around 15.5 percent of GDP.
	Other countries with high gross public pension spending are in continental Europe with Austria, France and Portugal around 13 to 14% of GDP.
	Public pensions generally account for between one quarter and one third of total public expenditure in these countries.
	So, there are many people who think that this is unsustainable, and that this makes... Yeah.
	I don't know about you, but whenever I play any game, like, you know, I don't know if you play Democracy 2 or Democracy 3?
	No.
	It's a fantastic, like, democracy simulator.
	Basically, you play as the new party that's come in, and you've got to balance the books, stop all the crime, whatever else.
	First thing I do is just delete public pensions.
	It's just like, this costs a fortune.
	There is no public pensions, either.
	There's taxpayer-funded pensions, and then there are private ones.
	So, I mean, that's the thing everyone gets confused about when talking about taxpayer-funded pensions.
	It's like, no, it's the young people paying for the old.
	There is no pot of money.
	It doesn't exist.
	And we will get to that towards the end because I really want to hear what you think about this.
	Because I think that this is a really big debate that the younger generations need to do with the older ones.
	And I haven't made up my mind yet.
	You can just send us in the comments what you think about it and whether you think also Macron's policy was sane or not and whether what you think should be done about pensions.
	Okay, so we should say that the average in OECD countries is 8%.
	So the ratio of, let's say, the pensions to GDP is 8%, whereas in France right now it's around 14.5%.
	Okay, so basically, what is going on is that the main economic argument is that this is financially unsustainable, and that it could save close to 19.5 billion euros for the French, and that it would actually make their economy a bit more competitive.
	So, and let us see about the... Sorry, okay, let us have a look at the next OECD chart.
	And we'll see Yes, if we can scroll down a bit and we'll see at some point we have France here in F and we have then here we'll see that France has the retirement age in 62 is the minimum age of retirement.
	Okay.
	I see lots of women.
	Sorry?
	Is it for men or women?
	Do they make a distinction?
	I don't think they do.
	But they do make a distinction in the way that their working week is structured because I heard, correct me if I'm wrong in the comments, but I heard that Wednesday is supposed to be Mother's Day or Wednesday is a day where women do not work because I think during Wednesday there is no school.
	And they stay at home to stay with their kids.
	Take that with a pinch of salt, but I was listening to this conversation about this.
	Okay.
	Now, this compares with 66 in the UK.
	So the retirement age in the UK is 66.
	Okay, so let me give you a timeline of recent events.
	So on Sunday, the 12th of March, the law passed from the French Senate, the law that involved the policies that Macron wants to push forward.
	So 195 votes were in favor of the policy, only 112 were against.
	That left the National Assembly, that was the next stage.
	So the French Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, went to the National Assembly to push forward the bill.
	And as she was introducing it to the members of the French National Assembly, she understood that she did not have parliamentary majority for it.
	So basically, Macron's party rests upon the, let's say, help or aid of the Republican Party, And together they could form the majority, but many supporters, many MPs of the Republican Party, they just decided not to go along with it.
	And she understood that she had lost the majority and that she had to trigger Article 49.3.
	Now, before we say a bit about what this article is, we can have a look about, we can have this new video here.
	We have French people starting burning things and they protest against Article 49.3 in Macron's government.
	And if we can see, if we can look at the trend, The thread on the previous Twitter, it says it's heating up in Paris.
	Protesters chant, we beheaded Louis the 16th and we could do it again with President Macron.
	This is the Communist Party of Britain saying so.
	Sorry, every time I say communist stuff I hate it.
	I did look up, apparently she used to get Wednesdays off if you were in primary school, if you were a kid.
	So presumably white mothers have to take care of them on Wednesdays.
	It's ended in 2014.
	Honestly, that just sounds great.
	I don't know why we don't do that more wide.
	Well, maybe.
	Okay, so the thing is, let us look at the next video.
	We could have it play on mute.
	The thing is that the opposition right now says that, in a sense, that was anti-democratic.
	It was unfair.
	We have people from trade unions rallying people, taking the streets.
	They are having massive protests.
	You can see here, you know, fire flares, people, you know, mobs.
	Being French?
	Yeah, we have the police.
	I remember when Andy Ngo moved to the UK effectively, he messaged me one day because there was a new situation in France, right?
	And he was like, oh my god, do people not talk about this a lot here?
	I'm like, oh no, it's just France.
	Every goddamn couple of months they'll do this.
	But it is amazing how tolerant we are of just like, yep, they're all just saying things on fire.
	There are many protests in France.
	I see this as sort of, I don't know if it's part of their national hobbies, but they, I mean, while I was reading the story, it seemed to me that they are protesting a lot and they have some history in it, especially with the events of May 1968.
	They have this tradition of this.
	Now, let us talk a bit about Article 49.3 because it is supposed to be a thorny affair.
	Now, the article 49.3 says the following, that the government can push forward, can force a bill without having parliamentary majority.
	But this sounds tyrannical.
	There is a flip side to it, that the opposition has 24 hours to raise a vote of no confidence.
	If they succeed, the government loses, in a sense, and maybe I think they either have to take the reform back or they have to vote for general elections.
	Or they have to reshuffle the government.
	But anyway, that would be a huge loss for Macron if he lost the vote of no confidence, which he won.
	He survived it.
	But let me give you some context.
	This was a constitutional clause that the French pushed forward in 1958.
	Especially after a troubled period of political instability.
	We have, in a sense, a clause that has been used a hundred times since 1958, so it's not anything new.
	But people think that, in a way, that it is worrying.
	It is a worrying clause, that it's somehow tyrannical and that it somehow habituates governments into thinking that, well, If I can pass the vote of no confidence, I could push forward any kind of measure I want.
	So it is something that obviously people who look at political power with suspicion and they should, as we heard from the previous segment by Konstantin Kissin, this is something that is worrying.
	But let us see where the Lex Polson talking about this.
	It's the 100th time, in fact, Article 49.3 has been used, but a lot in the last year.
	Lex Paulson, is this democratic?
	Absolutely not.
	But is it legitimate?
	Absolutely yes.
	I mean, this is legal.
	And no rule is being broken.
	This is, as you say, an extreme recourse that Macron is choosing to use.
	He's choosing because he didn't call the vote.
	He could have called the vote and seen how many of the 61 swing votes from the Républicain would have actually voted down the reform.
	I worked in the US Congress, the rule number one is learn how to count.
	And Nancy Pelosi certainly would never have gotten to this level, this stage in a reform without knowing how to count to majority plus one.
	And clearly, Elizabeth Bond didn't succeed in doing that.
	But it's absolutely legitimate.
	She even admitted so at the rostrum of the National Assembly.
	Exactly right.
	But let's be very careful what we mean by democracy.
	We don't live in a democracy.
	The French live in a republic.
	That means the French elect people to do the governing.
	In this case, it's a blunt instrument in that you have a Senate that's passed this reform.
	You have an Assemblée that doesn't have a single party with a majority and that rules essentially by coalition.
	And you have this mismatch between the people who are against the law, who are in the street now, who are predominantly workers and people on the left, and the people who refused to vote for the reform today were essentially deputies on the right, who held the fate of Macron's reform in their hands.
	And these are the people who are least likely to care how many people are in the Place de la Concorde.
	These would have been people in the country houses during the last time that they were cutting off heads in the Place de la Concorde.
	How does this sound?
	French.
	Honestly.
	who caused this reform to go down.
	And not because of the show of strength in the street, I have to say it, but no, this is both totally legitimate and utterly anti-democratic at the same time.
	How does this sound?
	French, honestly.
	Okay, so the thing, if you want to check the next thread, I won't say much about it, but if you want to check a bit the context of why the French put forward Article 1958, I think it was de Gaulle that put it forward, you can have a look at the Britannica Encyclopedia.
	Now, we can have a look also at the next video and you can have some, you know, we can have some images, you know, someone driving, you know, being chill, Going back home from... you know.
	That's the thing I don't get about these crappy protests as well.
	I mean, I know the French do their thing, but if you're going to do violent protests where you throw stuff in the streets, build a barricade, why don't they always just throw like three fires on the road that you can just drive by?
	Whatever.
	What other thing?
	I don't know, but there are signs that these protests are going to stay there for a long time because Macron survived the no confidence votes and it seems that he is going forward with the policies.
	Anyway, so the thing is that let us know in the comments if you think that Macron is right in this or not, what you think about Article 49.3 and its dangers.
	But I think that we should approach the issue of pension reforms from another angle.
	Now, this is an issue that is being advocated in terms of economic rhetoric.
	We are given economic reasons as to why this is the right thing to do.
	It's going to make the French society more competitive, it's going to make it more viable.
	But I think that we should focus on a different, a slightly different angle, the demographic one.
	And I think that this raises a very interesting discussion that conservatives should have, especially younger conservatives and older conservatives.
	Now, the thing is that throughout the Western world, and not alone, we have a very big problem with demographic.
	Now, in a nutshell, what we have is raised life expectancy, which leads to an aging population, We also have declining birth rates and this creates a sort of cultural bomb in the following sense.
	We have fewer people, fewer and fewer people, who need to pay taxes for sustaining more and more people for a longer period of time.
	So, this is a problem and there are various... This is one of the major problems nowadays in the Western world and it seems that it's going to be the major challenge for the next decades.
	Now, there is a question as to what to do about it.
	There are all sorts of reviews, but I want to show you a review that was, it's a 2017 review, I think, from the European Policy Strategy Center, and it involves ideas about future migration.
	Why am I saying this?
	Because at the moment, the major There's a really big question as to how to deal with immigration and to what extent.
	And the leftists are pushing forward a multiculturalist agenda that says that the only way to cure the demographic issue is to increase the number of taxpayers.
	And the number of taxpayers is going to be increased by mass immigration.
	Now, those of us who think that multiculturalism has problems and that it is not the way to go forward, we have some thinking to do about how to deal with it, because there is the question of what is going to happen with the pensions.
	Now, if we read a bit on page 1 out of 10, this report has, if you go to the next page, Yep.
	Okay.
	On the key messages.
	I want to say this because it looks like in Europe there is a growing sentiment that migration flows will We'll rise and we'll continue rising.
	And it's good to remember this and contextualize this.
	So I'll just read some key messages here.
	Number one, the number of migrants living in richer parts of the world, including Europe, has increased and will most likely continue to do so.
	Richer countries in Europe have become prime destinations for both economic and other migrants.
	Given Europe's geographical and geopolitical location, periods marked by mass inflows of people seeking protection or better opportunities cannot be extended in decades to come, but such flows will also depend on EU-wide efforts to control arrivals and entry at external borders, including airports, as well as on the effectiveness of asylum procedures, resettlement and return mechanisms.
	Now, there are all sorts of problems with this because we see leftist governments being in favor of mass immigration for all sorts of reasons.
	It's not economic, I think.
	For most of them, they want to increase their political base.
	And especially when we have leftist parties that are perceived by the general population of a country as being anti-patriotic.
	They know this and they want to increase their voters by having extra people in and pushing forward their claims for extra rights.
	And this can cause problems.
	Now, labor migration to EU member states is on the decline.
	More than half of newly arriving citizens of non-EU countries are now admitted on rights-based and humanitarian grounds.
	As a result, most new entrants are not immediately integrated into formal EU labor markets, reducing the potential economic gains from migration.
	In many EU countries, the number of native-born children with no migration background is declining.
	Migration will thus play a more significant role, shaping not only the size but also the structure of our continent's future population, with major implications for the fabric, cohesion and identity of European societies.
	Depending on the size and composition of future immigration flows, Europe's economies and societies face considerable integration challenges augmented by already existing gaps, marginalized groups and parallel societies resulting from integration deficits of the past.
	So, we have, in a way, a dangerous cultural cocktail.
	So, if we can just move forward on page 9 of the document, I won't read all of it, don't worry.
	We can see a number of scenarios.
	We have four scenarios.
	I'll just read their title.
	Scenario 1 is back to the early 2000s.
	Scenario 2 is instability in the neighborhood.
	Scenario 3 is more selective admission of immigrants.
	You can check further if you want.
	Let us move to the next page and to see something about if we are concerned about massive immigration.
	Now, Scenario 4 is the going native option and it says this scenario assumes that as public opinion grows more skeptical or even hostile to the admissions of foreigners migration policies become ever more restrictive coupled with a general political consensus on such restrictions and a social climate in which migrants are not welcome.
	This could effectively lead to much lower immigration, high return rates of already established migrants, and a reduction of intra-EU mobility.
	Under scenario four, the main challenge would be managing demographic aging, gradual population decline, and a shortage of labor and skills.
	So I want to say that, for instance, I think that multiculturalism does not work because there was this narrative about multiculturalism that supposedly every ethnic group is compatible with every other, and there is the possibility that every and there is the possibility that every ethnic group can integrate into any other society, no matter what degree of cultural cohesion and continuity exists between the host group and the group that seeks to be hosted.
	I think that it doesn't work.
	It seems to me that one of the major, you know, consistency demands us to look at some problems with particular solutions and the following challenges.
	So there is the major question asked for, or at least for those who are skeptical of multiculturalism, there is this following question of how to tackle the demographic problem and how to tackle this issue with the pensions that become a progressively larger number.
	The ratio between pensions and the GDP becomes progressively higher.
	And the question is whether there is any other solution other than increasing retirement age and also asking how to make the economy more competitive so that the younger generation can raise a family and think of You know, you need money to make a family.
	If there are no economic prospects, and you constantly get crushed by increasingly, progressively more taxes, there's a question as to, you know, of course, how is society going to survive?
	How is the next generation going to survive?
	And how will, let's say, national identity be maintained?
	These are some questions that I think are really pressing.
	And I think that these are some, I don't know what to do about it.
	I'm not a politician, but I think that this is an interesting debate that we should have a look.
	And I just read an article by the European conservative, the rights generational divide, why boomer cones and young cones are suspicious of each other.
	Now, I'm not going to read it, but if you're interested in this discussion, it might be worth giving it a look.
	All right.
	Yep.
	Move to the chicken washing.
	God, just even saying that just sounds wrong.
	So, chicken washing.
	Not really something I thought I'd ever talk about, but here we are.
	Let's do this together.
	We'll start off by promoting something on lotusseas.com, being Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, because that is how I feel looking at chicken washing, which somewhat looks weird.
	Is it supposed to increase consumer satisfaction?
	Or washing the chicken?
	We'll go to some cultural things first, because I see this concept, and we'll get to it in a minute, very similar to some other cultural uniqueness you'll find around the world.
	The first example I'm going to give here is of fan death in South Korea.
	For some goddamn reason, South Koreans have got it in their minds that fans use oxygen.
	So if you leave the fan on in your room, you'll suffocate to death as you sleep, because the fan will use all the oxygen.
	Yeah, then the fan will have a Lyme cancer.
	That's the only way to be saved from it.
	Yeah, you can see there this goes back to like the 20s and 30s.
	No, obviously, but fans in South Korea apparently come with a timer.
	They'll just naturally turn off after a certain amount of time to give the consumer confidence that they won't be suffocated to death by the fan.
	Which is obviously mad, and like, what the hell?
	Of course, they only do this for the domestic market, but weird, unique cultural things that you'll find that have come about because of completely random, weird myths within your culture.
	Another version being circumcision, within the United States, especially.
	But that's a whole other conversation for another time, in which there are gonna be a lot of people defending, no, no, trust me, there are reasons for this, and there isn't.
	There is no medical reason for this.
	It's just weird myths that came about in American culture, and now you do it as a norm.
	Again, very weird like the fan thing.
	But then came along one American lady who was revving up her TikTok.
	Usually she makes food videos showing you different meals she's made.
	They're all very fun.
	Yeah.
	And she decided she had enough of the seasoning police.
	So she made this video talking about the seasoning police.
	And our seasoning police need to stop.
	So she explains in here how the seasoning police keep turning up and demanding that she use garlic and onion powder to season her chicken.
	And she explains very quickly, she's like, I use garlic and onion in my goddamn chicken recipes, except I use it fresh.
	And they're like, yeah, but you're not using the freeze dried garlic and onion that comes in this powder form.
	So she's sick of it.
	She's mad.
	Understandably so.
	So the seasoning police don't know what seasoning is, is her point.
	Because if you think the dried garlic powder is somehow seasoning, but garlic that is chopped up is not, then you're not listening, I suppose.
	You don't know what that thing is.
	You've just been told that that's what seasoning is.
	And there's a whole other conversation about seasoning, but that's her main one there that she's getting S for.
	Well, of course she got called racist for that.
	Why?
	Everything's racist nowadays.
	Yeah, this one's a reach.
	Some checkmark.
	White people not seasoning their food is actually really based in racism and classism, lol.
	And the reason white people don't season food, this'll be good, is because historically rich white people began to think seasoning was for brown people who had to season their food because they couldn't afford better tasting meat.
	I don't know if this person is a historian.
	Maybe they've got like multiple degrees from the best universities all on history.
	Early food history of the United States.
	I just, what the hell are you talking about?
	People do this quite often.
	They'll just write things that they think are true, like they've made up in their head.
	Like she goes on to say that medieval Europe, seasoning was important, but then the seasoning became normal.
	So then the aristocrats, you know what they did?
	They stopped eating seasoning to dab on the pores.
	So you've made that up in your head.
	None of that's true.
	Good cooking has always involved good seasoning for the rich.
	They've never gone without it ever since they got it.
	And that's because they're rich.
	It's the peasants who can't afford the rich people things.
	And pretending to be poor by not eating nice food is not something the medieval aristocracy have ever done.
	I mean, the closest you get to that is, like, eating caviar, because I think that's trash.
	But, whole other conversation, because some people apparently do like that.
	But, they're obviously not true.
	Complete bollocks.
	So if you scroll down, we'll see that she got, I don't know, about 10 likes?
	No.
	82,000.
	83,000 now likes.
	And of course, she got sent 100 bucks, so she's promoting nicotine in the comments.
	I don't know why people do that.
	She's just like, oh, to you Enviro, please promote nicotine for $100, whatever.
	But there we are.
	That's the new thing.
	She instantly, the seasoning lady over there, the seasoning queen, became the new Dilbert meme in response to all that.
	Seasoning police getting after it because the seasoning police were very mad at her.
	And what was posted in response was quite a lot of chicken washing.
	Chicken washing I'm not familiar with.
	Oh no, come on.
	We're watching, for people listening, a chap here who seems to have a fully plucked chicken.
	It's ready to go in the oven.
	I think, has he still got the face on it?
	That's a bit weird.
	I don't know, I can't tell.
	But he's rubbing his chicken in his pan there in soap spuds.
	He's using dish soap to wash his chicken.
	Is this bath foam or something?
	Yeah.
	Take my chicken to clean it and then we're going to go for a walk.
	I mean, this isn't immediately after slaughter or something, which I don't know.
	I don't know what the slaughtering process is for chicken.
	Maybe you have to clean it or something.
	I don't know.
	No, this is not just that.
	This is a lot of that.
	I think the chicken doesn't need shampoo.
	We'll go to the next link here.
	I guess there's some more.
	I know this is just American stuff for us because, I mean, it is true that American food TikTok is horrific.
	I will back up, I think, the entire world on this because, I mean, this lady here just What are you doing?
	If you're listening, she's blending spaghetti.
	So then she can reform it to make a spaghetti dish.
	This is dried spaghetti.
	She doesn't, you know, make her own pasta or something instead, like a normal person.
	And there are a lot of other weird stuff like that.
	I mean, the next one here is just like some American on TikTok who's like, here's what I eat in a day.
	And it's a lot.
	Which, um...
	There should be a divine command.
	on it because of course, whole of the conversation.
	But we'll get back to the chicken washing because, well, the CDC keeps having to post stop washing your chicken and they're talking about raw chicken, chicken breast, chicken drumsticks.
	There should be, you know, a divine command, thou shall not wash your chicken.
	Well, the CDC keep doing it apparently So here it is in 2019 where they're just like, by the way, message to whoever's listening, not on anyone particularly, don't wash your chicken with soap and bleach or at all really.
	You can just cook it and then eat it.
	It won't kill you if you cook it.
	But if you wash it in bleach, probably not the best idea.
	Yeah, no.
	Might have been an audience for that, it seems.
	Because if you go to the next link here, we can see some examples.
	There's a lot of examples.
	I suppose we'll play them without the audio, I guess, and just go through and just show people that I... I mean, I genuinely thought this had to be a fake thing.
	If you don't put a dish up on your chicken when you're cleaning it, then...
	Yeah, we don't need to.
	We don't need to hear, I think.
	We're not watching a lady here pour dish soap all over her chicken wings to then rub them with her hand while screaming at you in some TikTok about this is why you need to wash your chicken.
	Okay.
	If we keep going, I guess, because it's not just one.
	There's this dude who's again using Yieldy Fairy Liquid to wash his chicken before he puts it in the oven, presumably.
	Why?
	There's more.
	There is a lot more.
	Next one here.
	Some guy, again, rinsing his chicken breasts.
	Is there an epidemic of chicken washing?
	Adds the fairy soap liquid, because of course.
	Go get rid of all the germs.
	By, by...
	I...
	Yeah, there's one more on here.
	Again.
	I mean, this... Oh, God.
	Sorry about this.
	The nails.
	The nails are... Yeah, this is some lady... I just...
	I hate the whole, look how... Because you can tell she didn't even think about it.
	She didn't even think it was weird.
	She's just making her TikTok to show people how she makes food, because there are a lot of women who do that.
	And she decided to rub it in fairy liquid before seasoning and then putting it in the oven.
	And then she acts like it's completely normal, because to her, I presume it is.
	She could use the nails to scratch the microbes out of the chicken without using the shampoo.
	You may remember that lady earlier who was talking about the seasoning police.
	She was labelled as racist for mentioning her views on seasoning.
	What's non-racist about it?
	Well, this is why people seem to have taken it personally, because it turns out there's quite a lot of this.
	I mean, there's that lady there, again, which is just joyous.
	I mean, I think this is a thread, actually.
	If you scroll on this, I think there's just video after video after video.
	Some of them we just watch, of course, but then there's a few more of people washing their chicken.
	That one in bleach.
	That one with more liquid.
	This good, I think, plus bleach.
	The CDC being stopped doing it.
	We're at the end of the thread.
	We've long since passed the end of the thread, Joel.
	Oh, that one's funny.
	This is a guy who's about to wash his chicken and then the girl's like, what the hell are you doing?
	Yeah.
	Is it washing the chicken?
	What's wrong with you?
	It may have been, it turns out, there is a particular American community.
	The question is, what's her issue?
	Is her issue that he's washing the chicken or that he's using the wrong materials to wash the chicken?
	Wrong kind of chicken washer.
	Yeah.
	We'll go to the next link here.
	Blackpeoplerecipes.com.
	Love it.
	Love that site.
	10 out of 10.
	Highly recommend.
	Just like Black People Meet.
	I'm sorry if I did it funny.
	It's just the level of... I don't know what you call it.
	Racial pride?
	Or racial difference between black and white Americans?
	That they have their own dating sites and recipes?
	Websites?
	Whatever.
	Whole other situation.
	But blackpeoplerecipes.com.
	For some reason, that outlet in particular, decided to put this up.
	Why do black people wash chicken?
	Not something I was familiar with.
	Quote, I didn't realise black folks and other minorities We haven't figured out which minorities, because we're not able to point to any, but apparently the black community says they own this, are people who are pretty adamant about washing off their chicken until it's clean.
	And she says she did this as an adult all her life.
	And I noticed because every time the chicken washing debate would circulate on social media, I don't know how I missed this.
	Yeah.
	I've been in the internet all my life.
	That's what it's been about.
	I missed the chicken washing debate until now.
	I'm loving it.
	White slash Caucasians would always appear astounded and shocked there was even a debate on this topic.
	Is chicken washing bad?
	Short answer, yes.
	Long answer, the hell's wrong with you?
	Wait, what did you th- We had this debate in the office, it was like, are you guys washing other forms of meat?
	So I looked up some debate and there was a guy on YouTube, this white and black guy talking about cooking.
	And the white guy turns to him and goes, do you wash chicken?
	And he's like, yeah, of course.
	And I'm like, what?
	I think I go through it.
	He's like, do you wash other kinds of meat?
	And he's like, well, not ground beef.
	So presumably that guy does wash all his other meat as well.
	So he's out there washing steaks and everything, which...
	Okay.
	Like most blacks, she writes, I grew up washing chicken.
	I think we have to put a pen in that...
	Black Americans, this seems to be.
	I don't think any other part of the black race would take onus of using the fairy liquid like this.
	She says, most people wash their chicken because they do it habitually.
	It's done out of habit.
	For years, older generations have washed their chicken so the custom was simply passed down.
	She has some theories.
	Yeah, it's... yeah, I mean, it's...
	She doesn't have any evidence as to why this was passed down, especially in the modern form of using bleach and soap.
	I think I have to, for no other reason than YouTube, don't do this because I think YouTube has some policies that are like, we're going to delete videos if they show things that make people do things that have real world harm.
	Yeah, I'm not advocating any of this in case it isn't abundantly clear just for like a million times sake.
	I want this link.
	I will definitely go and check it afterwards.
	You want to go to blackpeoplerecipes.com?
	I want to see how the custom was simply passed down.
	She explains, well, she theorizes, she doesn't explain, there's no evidence provided.
	She's like, yeah, it's because of slavery that we wash our chicken with very liquid, which doesn't make any kind of sense.
	She argues that, oh, people used to give black people rotten meat, that's why they had to wash it, which doesn't follow either, but whatever.
	We'll leave that there.
	I also saw Madame Noir, some outlet, did actually have an article on this they uploaded, where they're talking about washing your meat They don't specify chicken.
	And there's no need to scroll, but the comments, there was a big divide.
	There was a divide largely between what I saw were mostly Hispanic and Caribbean people who were like, I mean, I wash the chicken, but I use lemon, lime, and vinegar.
	And then the black Americans who were like, yeah, of course I use fairy liquid.
	I don't know.
	Please help me, if you do.
	Was there a translation error at some point in this part of the world?
	That the black Americans went with the fairy liquid and everyone else is like, hang on, what are you doing?
	I think the people demand to know if jerk chicken is washed with fairy liquid or not.
	I'm still in awe, frankly, that this is an apparently real thing.
	I assumed it was like the Tide Pods, where it was obviously a joke.
	And then, apparently, with the formation of the internet, people have found out, no, there are a lot of American families who are doing that.
	And they think it's normal.
	If you go to the next one here, there is some TikTok of... Some other racists seem to have picked this up.
	There was a lot of Hispanics and whatnot, as I mentioned as well, on TikTok, showing themselves cleaning it with lemon and lime or whatever.
	This lady here, not black, but still washing her chicken in the sink with soap.
	Okay, so there's the occasional exemption to the commonality.
	We've got the next one here as well.
	There are also some other really retarded myths that seems to pervade amongst such people.
	As we listed earlier, this lady here is arguing about why white people, as she puts it, don't use spices in their food.
	She says that it's because, again, rich white people wanted spices until the poor white people had spices.
	And now the rich white people eat plain food to dab on the poor.
	About how rich they are?
	Because they don't... Honestly, I think these alleged explanations are not worth much.
	It doesn't even make any sense.
	What is going on there?
	She's stuffing it with God knows what.
	But it doesn't even make sense on the face value.
	I hope so.
	Because if you're a really rich European and you wanted to dab on them, you'd buy more spices.
	Yeah.
	I mean, like, rich people spend an inordinate amount of money on the newest clothes or cars or crappy apartments that are high-priced.
	They don't then become homeless to prove how rich they are.
	Whatever.
	We're going to medieval peasant food, though, because I wanted to talk about just food in general, and some myths about food.
	Which is the, I mean, pick a dish that you like.
	Chances are it's not very old.
	This is something I found out just looking at, like, oh, these modern dishes you can get in Italian restaurants or whatever.
	Because I think Bolognese, I think Bolognese comes from like the 1700s or something, if I'm correct?
	I don't know.
	Can't remember off the top of my head.
	I'm happy to go along with it.
	It's like sushi as well.
	Like there's the old form of sushi people talk about, but I'm thinking, I look at it and I think, that has no resemblance to the modern version, so Salmonella's video for that one.
	But just looking at it, this is a medieval peasant feast from the time, like a good meal, and he's got smoked salmon.
	Alright, whole other thing I like about cooking.
	There's also some Victorian cooking channels I'd just recommend.
	There's, I think it's English Heritage, who just show you that, no, they found some old cookery book.
	If you go to the next link please, we can see her.
	There's a lady here who roleplays the lady who wrote the cookery book and just makes all the deals.
	Which again, like, there are things with flavours in.
	It is not...
	I don't know why people think English food just has no flavoring or something.
	It's just different because there are all kinds of forms of cooking around the world.
	I mean, if you go to Townsend as well, this is an American guy who lives like it's the 1776 and makes all the meals from the time in the method and whatnot.
	And the reason I mention all that is because then I saw this, if we go to the next link, which is a lady at a Korean barbecue.
	It says she's a Nigerian auntie over here, and she's brought her own spices to the Korean BBQ to put on the food.
	If you're wondering what kind of spices, it's not a home mix, it's from Aldi.
	She went to Aldi and brought this, so, whole other conversation.
	I did see a lot of Nigerians responding just being like, disowned.
	Yes.
	But, I mean, this really brings it home to me.
	This is like someone who just puts ketchup on everything.
	Sincerely.
	I mean, this is a real thing, I think, which is that, you know, maybe you don't, but especially in English life, you'll get endlessly foreigners who will tell you that your food is terrible because you don't have spices.
	They'll never specify what kind.
	And then you check out their food.
	And I mean, not their culture's food, but their individual food that person eats.
	Very often what I find is there is basically a spice mix they eat, and that's it.
	They put it on everything.
	I like cooking, I must say, and I've tried to do some Indian food at some point and it was exhausting because they have 15-20 ingredients in everything.
	I tried to do a naan bread and it had all so many ingredients.
	More a pain in the ass.
	It was exhausting.
	But it is actually something unique.
	Like yeah, Indian food culture does have all these variations you can get.
	And that's true.
	And of course the same for Korean or Japanese or blah blah blah blah blah.
	Pick a food culture.
	There's amazing, interesting things you can find.
	But what I find better is these people who will come to, specifically in my life, to the UK, and then tell you that your food is terrible.
	Not because they've experienced a lot of it and can pick out the uniqueness.
	They can't even taste it anymore.
	Because they just literally put Tabasco sauce on everything or whatever spice mix.
	It's like, okay, you just... You're not an individual who sampled the world and likes this kind of cuisine over the other.
	You're just someone who puts ketchup on everything.
	And then that's your idea of good food, doesn't have ketchup.
	But your version is this spice mix.
	I mean, just the audacity of going to a restaurant and bringing your own spice mix alone.
	Especially a Korean one, but... Yeah, I did see a lot of people responding with the point that this is a very much seasoning police moment.
	If you go to the next link, if you scroll up on there.
	Just a lot of people being like, mm.
	Happened again.
	Trust me.
	And just the last thing to mention, which is what does come to mind?
	British tapas.
	I don't know if you've ever seen this.
	The confused look on your face was worth it.
	You want to give a click on any of those, just make them a bit bigger for people.
	And then just, I don't know, if you hit right on the keyboard, I don't know if that works.
	But just, no, never mind.
	But the various versions, this is a meme, just to be clear.
	It's basically a conglomeration of all the crappy frozen food that you get served as a kid with ketchup on the side.
	Yeah.
	Because it just works with everything.
	And yeah, it is a meme, and rightfully so.
	Also kind of nice, but that's a whole other thing.
	It's not really that nice, but it's a unique thing that British culture does have, very sadly.
	But it's just the thing with people who put ketchup on everything, or bring the very same spices to every meal they cook, and then think that's heaven on earth.
	I think we need spice for space travel.
	I think there's just more uniqueness about cooking and there are certain people who don't know how to cook, they just know that one taste and constantly trying to find it.
	I think maybe it's the same thing with the chicken in soap folks.
	I'm not confident that they can get rid of all of that fairy liquid.
	Do you cook chicken?
	Yeah.
	Try putting some whiskey when it's frying on the pan.
	Not a bad idea actually.
	Yeah, it's really good.
	I'll try that next.
	So has Callum managed to badger Carl into watching the new Avatar movie?
	literally poisoning yourself which is what that is so again a million times don't don't put soap and bleach on your chicken what the hell's wrong there we are cultural uniqueness in the world i suppose it's it's something go to the video comments the beauty of the customs managed to badger carl into watching the new avatar movie it's kind of based in a very roundabout sort of way although it's obviously not intentional it's really strange to watch There's like no gay relationships or diversity.
	The men are all kind of reasonable while the women are all emotion-driven.
	It's very anti-technology.
	The men are all trying to be reasonable authority figures in a non-toxic way towards their children.
	It's just really off-putting given the current movie climate.
	Yeah, a lot of people didn't seem to pick up on this.
	They all watched Avatar and saw it like the last one, which was obviously like space Indians and cowboys.
	So, okay, I get the comparison.
	Was this why it took Cameron 13 years to do it?
	He had, you know, lobbies saying, no, no, we want more representation.
	But sure, the first movie, that was the major theme, and then people took that into the second movie, being like, oh, same thing again.
	Sure, it's the underpinning of the conflicts that happens, but the majority of the movie was not about that.
	It was about Jake's family, and there were a lot of, I think as leftists would say, problematic moments in all of it as well.
	One of the opening scenes is just the hot waifu over there just being openly racist against the human kid.
	Yeah.
	Because they've adopted this human kid into their family to take care of him because they couldn't take him back to Earth with all the humans.
	And she's like, he should be with his own kind.
	I don't want him here.
	He's not part of our family.
	Just keeps disowning him from the group.
	And Jake's like, no, no, no, we're going to take care of the boy.
	He's got no one else.
	So there's a whole like, you know, take care of orphan mentality.
	And then they go to this new tribe after they mess up in their one.
	And again, there's family structures of the people in charge who are incredibly family orientated.
	And the mother there as well is also very xenophobic.
	Because she's like, you're tree people.
	We're fish people.
	Get out of here.
	I don't want to be with you.
	This would be race mixing.
	It's like, okay, this is... Trees and the sea don't go together.
	Yeah.
	And, um, well, they don't in the end because they end up leaving.
	Only after finding the power of friendship can, can make racism go away, but not race mixing, which is...
	That's what I mean, like, there's some weird moments in there where you're like, if I was a leftist, this would be really troubling.
	Why are all the rightists really annoyed with this?
	Because, frankly, like, minor moments aside, the main concept is not any of the, like, that stuff.
	Instead, it's about the importance of family and raising your kids right, in both circumstances, which... I just don't know why the rightists were so blindsided into seemingly missing that, but... Oh yeah, Avatar 2, go give it a watch, why not?
	It is important to remember that these AI are vast statistical engines.
	Or in other words, they only give the answer that is statistically the most likely.
	A statistically unlikely answer would either look like a response with poor grammar or complete gibberish.
	And we all know how well humans fit into statistics, don't we?
	Statistical unlikelihood or incorrect information never stops an innovative human.
	Joel?
	Well that's true.
	Not much more to say on that, but go to the written comments.
	So, Baron Von Vorhock says, Stelios, if you want to know what is being taught in American schools these days, my college professor told the class that Castro and Ho Chi Minh weren't real communists.
	Oh, this again.
	But were actually nationalists who were forced to join forces with the Soviet Union because the American meanies wouldn't support their revolutions.
	That's my life right now.
	I understand you.
	Yeah, Baron, I'd go back tomorrow.
	Well, probably, I'd recommend reading some of the books I may have recommended in the past in North Korea.
	I don't know if I have.
	Either way, there's a lot of books in North Korea that are great, but just ask him about Kim Il-sung, because, I mean, I think everyone recognises Kim Il-sung is definitely a Korean nationalist, but he's also a commie.
	And he's a race commie.
	Your professors won't like that conversation.
	But to try and be like, oh, yeah, they're just nationalists, bro.
	Yeah.
	I mean, maybe he could try and argue that with Vietnam because they turned on China.
	But then...
	I don't know.
	I think communists had a habit of appealing to national rhetoric when they understood that appealing to the ideals of equality.
	No, I think there are nationalist commies as well.
	You think?
	Aren't they internationalist at core?
	No.
	Marxists?
	Well, yeah, I mean, you've got commies of different stripes.
	There are Marxist types, there are other types as well.
	I mean, there's always the question of whether it's just tactics.
	I think I never know with them.
	You never know whether they believe what they do because it's politically expedient for them to do so.
	I mean, in the case of this professor, it's obviously just cope.
	But, I mean, when it comes to, I can say with definitely, at least with Kim Il-sung, that it's not tactics.
	Okay.
	The dude's generally just a mad racist and it's really funny.
	Because his whole point is basically he wants communism for the Korean race.
	Yeah.
	And anyone else can go, themselves.
	It's like, best part about it, so Kim Il-sung, when he would get foreign aid, it wasn't called foreign aid in North Korean newspapers ever.
	What was it called?
	It's... I've forgotten what the word is now.
	You know when you get... Where aid grows in trees?
	No, no, it's um... What's it called, John, when the emperor gets paid from some barbarian?
	Tribute.
	Tribute, yeah.
	So they call it tribute?
	Yeah.
	When they get foreign aid from the Soviet Union?
	Yeah.
	How is that tribute?
	They could crush you.
	So Taffy Duck says journalists is emotionally invested in an issue, and financially and socially and politically, because they aren't journalists.
	Most of them are just privileged globalist activists.
	And that's because of their pay structure.
	I mean, they literally work for the same guys making the laws through the back route of the fact that the person who owns the station used to be a minister.
	or knows a minister very, very closely.
	Alexander Drake says, Piers Morgan, F you.
	You were going on about Covid-iots for years on Twitter.
	You don't get to just go, oops, I made a mistake, sorry.
	Piers should be embarrassed and slink out of public life.
	Maybe.
	I can see sympathy with that point of view.
	Let's just assume Piers is just a buffoon, which... Largely, yeah.
	I'm glad he did the interview.
	Because, I mean, at least we can see these things.
	I don't like the idea that people shouldn't do these interviews, but I'm not unsympathetic to that idea, of course.
	Omar Awad says, defunding the police is where the government removes $1 million from the police budget and gives $2 million to the hospital budget for security.
	Big brain move.
	Anonymity says, what you are telling me is that importing of endless amounts of people also grow old.
	Yeah, this is the weird conundrum with the mass migration solution to pensions.
	So what if we import foreigners?
	Turns out foreigners also get old.
	I'm sorry to say, Stelios, you will get older in your life.
	I know this may be news to you, but... That's shocking.
	Yeah.
	It's in the wrong place, but whatever.
	So, ScrewTapeLazer says, Minneapolis was known for being a liberal city that wasn't an asshole.
	They're bureaucrats and the darlings of urban planning, bike lanes, stalling, 15-minute city crowds.
	Okay.
	I don't know much about Minneapolis before Floyd, but definitely after Floyd, they went down that route.
	Kerry Melody says, Anyone else get this deep sense of something big is about to happen soon?
	Even all the normies I know are starting to notice how bad things have become.
	Hopefully.
	I'm counting on it.
	I'm still...
	There is an atmosphere of impending doom.
	I'm still fuming about house prices, but sorry.
	I just...
	I did notice what was...
	Lauren's son, she did some video, she was talking about the future, and she was like, does anyone else feel like it's a bit bad?
	that everyone who's young's strategy for the future is global collapse I mean, it's not those people sat on the bus and it's like, oh yeah, when the economy collapses, my ideology will take over.
	It's those people on the bus being like, oh god, when the economy collapses, we might be able to buy something.
	Like, that's their dream.
	Shaker Silva says, I know you Brits like to meme on the US as a failed state, despite being a world hegemon, but look at France, they've gone through five republics in less time than the US existed.
	True.
	Also in the wrong place.
	George Happ says, Piers Morgan was wrong, huh?
	No, he was a hypocrite and an establishment shill.
	He went on vacation during the height of the lockdowns while demonising anybody who would go to the park or forest on his show.
	The trigonometry of guys treating well like a friend is infuriating to see.
	I think trigonometry don't treat the people they have as friends.
	I think they treat them as guests, which means – I mean, they're not openly hostile to him.
	They're not friendly to him either on that interview from what I saw, that clip they put out.
	I guess we'll see the whole thing tonight.
	I think they should do this because also I think their talk with Sam Harris was brilliant because it exposed what he was saying.
	Yeah, and they weren't really friendly with him there either or hostile.
	It was just, let him say his thing.
	Which, that means people do expose themselves if they are to be exposed.
	So, Miles says, the AI head of diversity looks like Fifty Shades of Karen.
	That's true.
	People did notice, there was a very unique energy to all that as well.
	Someone online says, you see all those fires?
	That's why you need to accept French refugees.
	Wrong place.
	XYZ says, so can Primark define what a woman is?
	Yeah, that's a good question.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to check the Primark in Swindon after work, just to see what their situation is.
	Like, have they gone with inventing the female workspace now or not?
	Should I start?
	Yeah, let's go to the French stuff.
	Brandon Tomps.
	The debate about public pension seems to me to be the other end of the argument about government and family.
	We all focus on how it's awful to let the government raise our kids, but have no problem and even cheer for the government to support their elders in their later years.
	The whole premise of taxpayer-funded pensions has the same rationale as any other government service, that we children can care for our elders indirectly with our taxes and that the government can do it better.
	The proper family may be the extended family rather than the 2.5 children nuclear family.
	My thoughts.
	Yes, I see the point.
	I agree with you and I think I want to add two things here that... Sorry, what?
	I had a blank.
	Yes, I think that in a way there is a problem with civil society because the more we outsource things to the government, the more we have this idea that as citizens all we have to do is to pay pensions and the government will do all the rest.
	We miss what traditional conservatives would say bounds of sentiment and engaging in civil society and treating each other as fellow countrymen.
	How do you feel about taxpayer-funded pensions existing?
	Ideologically, it's weird.
	If I were a politician, I would not know what I would do.
	I think I'd cut it off.
	Just anyone from 18 and above, you're not getting that deal because that deal is, you know, you can't just cut it off tomorrow for everyone.
	You got to make it some point, maybe 30.
	I don't know.
	But 18 is just so you haven't worked.
	Just the whole concept though, like if you've spent your entire working life, because I, okay, in the UK now, if you are offered a job, the law is that you must be served for a private pension through your employer and you can opt in or opt out.
	And that's their way of trying to get people off the taxpayer funded system because they know it's broken.
	But the concept in and of itself is mad, because you've got to assume that for all your working life you didn't save a penny, so financially you just didn't plan, right?
	But not only that, like, so let's say you didn't plan financially, at least like your family members would help take care.
	You didn't plan on a family level either.
	What were you expecting to happen, exactly, if you didn't plan on a family level or an eventual one?
	Yeah, that's a problem with relying too much on government, that we start thinking that, in a paternalistic way, that the government will be there for us at some point.
	But it turns out that, you know, the pension problem is really big now, and there are raising concerns that many people won't get their money, but the politicians don't like going out on TV and say this.
	I just can't get over the idea that if you don't bother to plan financially your entire life for when you're going to get old, and then you don't even bother to plan familially your entire life, like the Italians do with the generational aspect, then At this rate, the French are about to go under a 6th Republic in 200 years.
	Because you shouldn't be rewarded for that.
	You really should not have that as a cultural norm.
	Again, at this rate, the French are about to go under a sixth republic in 200 years.
	If this was any other country, we would call them a failed state.
	Athris Nocte.
	American here.
	Sounds like these retirement things and pensions sound like our social security, a completely unsustainable and useless tumor destroying the economy.
	what we have been saying.
	America in hospice care.
	One of the most significant reasons for leftists demanding more immigration is to reap more tax revenues.
	However, this wouldn't be necessary at all if leftists didn't demand, legislate, and enforce mass abortions, abortions which culls future generations from a society permanently reducing it, and thus reducing its output and wealth generation.
	This may be seen more in America than elsewhere, but no matter the nation, where there is abortion, there is also the call for more migration-immigration.
	It seems that in countries like that, where we have leftists who come and support massive immigration, there is a sentiment that they have that, you know, let's just see where it goes and whenever it hits the fan, Let us move into social engineering with the indigenous population and with the customs and institutions of the indigenous population.
	I found that bad.
	Jeren van Calcaren.
	Macron is probably just pushing this law, though, because of the incoming EU reforms that are going to redistribute all the money from all the pension programs of Europe.
	Only the Netherlands have a functioning program.
	They are going to steal our money and give it to the rest of Europe.
	But the retirement age is to be the same first, it was 67 or even 69 in a couple of years.
	Lord Narovar, I'm so pumped for Hamza to win the Scottish FM election.
	I think that it'll be a faster party collapse than the Tories and much harder to recover from.
	He'll be a dictator for certain, but probably not for very long.
	I'll look like a right twat if he doesn't win, though.
	AZ Desert Rat.
	Oh, French Presidente is giving Biden a run for his money in popularity.
	Yeah, we have the two popular presidents.
	Lord Nerevar.
	France is facing large-scale rioting.
	It must be a day ending with Y. Yes.
	On a serious note, good on our neighbors to the south for standing up to their government.
	While I can't condone the methods, apart from in Minecraft, I can sympathize with having a terrible government and wanting to rise against it.
	Baron Von Warhawk.
	The French are rioting again.
	In other news, the water is wet.
	You wanna go on chicken washing?
	Sure.
	So, on chicken washing.
	Still just sounds weird to me.
	Baystapes says, this is just the adult version of Don't Eat the Tide Pods.
	Yeah, very much so.
	Mathenu says, English people don't season their food.
	Terrible food.
	Terrible culture.
	Re.
	English people don't season their food.
	Colonialism class.
	Do season their food.
	Colonialism class.
	War.
	Re.
	Yeah.
	Someone says, uh, so the first recipe that I got on the black people's recipe is vegan.
	Oh dear.
	I take up everything I said.
	Um, don't visit that website.
	It's an extremist site.
	Which is going to ruin us all.
	The Wuhan wet market is chiming in though.
	They say, if you think washing a chicken is bad, you should look up night quill chicken.
	Oh no, but that's a meme.
	That's definitely a meme though.
	You know night quill chicken?
	No.
	You boil the chicken in night quill?
	Nah, it comes out, but it's horrible.
	No one's going to do that.
	It's obviously a meme.
	Henry Ashline says, they stole our red-blooded American fourskins Callum.
	We didn't give them up willingly.
	Well, I mean, you kind of did as a country.
	To those of you who had it done to you, and so forth.
	What's really weird, I was talking to someone who was talking about how it happened to the hospital.
	The doctor just offers it as a service, like it's normal.
	And people just say yes, because they don't know any better.
	I mean, there needs to be some kind of mass education campaign for parents.
	It isn't actually necessary.
	Because the thing is, you can argue about, you see these dumb debates where people argue about their preferences or whatever, and it's all just a waste of time.
	It's all just copium.
	But what's actually of value is the people who end up dying because of the surgery.
	Because the... I mean, this came about to my knowledge because of Jews in New York, actually.
	There's a sector there that practice mitzvah pipur, which is they refuse to use modern medical techniques to seal the wound.
	Instead, they use suction from a mouth.
	So you literally have the head rabbi... Yeah, disgusting.
	And not just disgusting on like, that's really gross.
	Very often ends up giving the kids syphilis or something, because it's not clean.
	And so the kids end up dying.
	And there were a lot of parents who were shocked when their kid dies from some disease they got from this practice.
	And I was just like, what were you expecting?
	Why did you bother doing it?
	Yeah, you had someone doing it with a dirty mouth after eating washed chicken.
	Well, I thought this old man doing that to my child would be a good idea.
	And now he's dead.
	I was like...
	You are a special one, my friend.
	But just more generally, like, there are a lot... It's not a huge amount, but there are babies who get killed from this every year in the United States.
	Even from the other, like, sanitary version.
	And it's just... Why?
	Literally pointless.
	For no goddamn reason.
	Yeah.
	Whatever.
	Hey, we're out of time, so if you want more of that, I don't know, it's a simple live stream.
	I'm not going to argue.
	But otherwise, come back, lowceys.com, it's about the time.
	Tomorrow, maybe.
	Who knows?
