Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Easters episode 620 on today, Wednesday the 29th of March 2023.
I am joined by Harry.
Hello!
Long overdue repairing.
First time we've been together on a podcast in a little while, it's nice to be back.
I know you missed us all.
Today we're going to be discussing, off to a flying start there, why woke terrorism will unfortunately continue, how Scotland has been occupied, and why DC Comics deserves Death.
One announcement before we start.
At 3.30 today, it's the sixth part of our Cyberpunk Dystopia Hangout series, Hangout episode 33, where Carl and Callum will be going how we're falling into a cyberpunk dystopia.
Falling into?
We're a bit past that now.
Yeah, being ushered directly into by our technocrat overlords.
Anyway, so if you haven't subscribed to the website for as little as five quid a month, you can do that and go and post a comment and watch that live at 3.30.
Without further ado, let's jump straight into today's news stories.
I think we're all aware by now, as we reported on yesterday, that there was a monstrous shooting at Covenant Christian High School in Nashville, Tennessee, where former student, 28-year-old trans male Audrey Hale killed three adults and three children before being shot to death by police officers.
These are the victims.
These are their photos.
These are who we should be caring about, of course.
Unfortunately, the establishment and the media have ran interference for the trans shooters' motivations, going so far as to justify them as the inevitable consequence of so much transphobia in society.
And that's why I think there's going to be more of these shootings.
I would be shocked, but I'm honestly not anymore.
It's not surprising to me that as long as the... if the shooter, the terrorist, whatever, falls on the intersectional pile, that their griefs, their grief, their grievances will be focused on more than the actual human tragedy that's occurred.
Yeah, and we're going to be looking at that logic today, because it's all well and good discussing lots of the societal and personal and psychological impacts that drove this person to do it, but I think it's a top-down problem.
And so if we go on to this next article, The reason I am highlighting this is because there is a former FBI profiler who has said she expects the copycat effect to take effect.
She expects the shooter to have looked up other shooters' manifestos, and also to glorify the way that these people went out in a seeming blaze of glory for their ideological cause, like Martyrs, and so she's saying that other schools should be on high alert.
One of the schools that the shooter was going to target, they actually desisted from going after because that school had armed security, so I think it's pretty sensible for lots of schools in America to have armed But David Hogg said that if we just get rid of people's guns and right to own guns, then it'll just stop.
Yeah, but the CDC study for non-aggressive defensives of firearms found that between 500,000 and 3 million lives are saved every year using firearms, so he can go to hell, quite frankly.
Of course he can.
I will say, I don't want to sound too conspiratorial here, because it's early days, but seeing as we're mentioning the FBI right now, I have to broach the subject.
Have we received any word or knowledge at all over whether Audrey, was it?
Yes.
Had been in contact with any suspicious people online who might have been pushing her into doing what she did?
I have not heard anything about intelligence agency involvement, but I'm sure there were online ideological cults that propelled her down this line of thought is that typically when you start to really dig deep into situations like this you find that there's one new person who's entered their life recently who tends to have an anonymous profile a name that they don't actually go under who vanishes off of the face of the earth and doesn't really get looked into any further the second all of this starts to go down that's not invalid suspicion i just haven't seen no of course No, of course, I was just wondering if anything had been found on that.
If that comes to light, we'll obviously talk about it.
I think the more important thing, though, is to look at how the regime itself actively propagates the ideology which motivates these people to do things like this, because we're in the spot now where ideological terrorism is on the rise, intersectional terrorism specifically, and the US government and various parts of the media, the pharmaceutical establishment and politicians, it not in
the lone wolves that are going out and killing children, but in the sort of collective movement which moves inexorably towards blaming large groups of people for why you are personally held back as an oppressed minority, and that leads inevitably to killing them.
And we're going to go through some examples today of why, unless we desist from this particular ideological project, which I don't think people in power want to, we're going to see more of these tragedies.
And they're also very avoidable.
Carl and Dan recently spoke about on the website — if you pay £5 a month you'll see all of our premium content, this was an illuminating conversation — on why America is in this state, why there's so much lawlessness, and they took a bottom-up perspective on this.
They said the disintegration of the family, which actually applied to Audrey in this case — fatherless home.
They said about the low standards of education, they said about how welfare reforms have torn apart black communities.
And so that disintegration of the social fabric means there are no interpersonal expectations anymore, and the social contract has been dissolved, so it doesn't matter if you go out and smash up your own community.
As we'll be going through, and as I know that you're leading on to though, it's not as simple as just a bottom-up explanation.
These things aren't just Spontaneously occurring.
The circumstances that have led to the disintegration of cultural norms in society have been basically legislated on people, forced on people who wouldn't have behaved in the way that they do currently by implementing some very, very negative incentives, by making it essentially illegal for a lot of people to behave in a more wholesome way.
Yeah, and there's also lots of people whose lives didn't turn out the way they wanted and are looking for someone to blame and would not be blaming straight white Christian men as a category if they weren't inspired to do so by media and politicians who constantly scapegoat that as an easy way to explain their own inferiority, mediocrity or poor life choices.
So this has been inspired by power structures for people to raise their revolutionary consciousness.
And we're seeing individual acts of revolutionary violence play out with things like the shooting, or as we'll come on to now, there are random occupations, if you go on to the next one, please, John, random occupations of highways in Austin and later we'll look at Georgia, by largely defund random occupations of highways in Austin and later we'll look at Georgia, by largely defund the police activists who are firing fireworks at cop If you just scroll down, please, John, there will be a video of retreating cop cars and this.
People have been set on fire.
If you just keep going, please, while I talk.
What happened was this was originally a street race, and this was in Austin, and the protesters occupied the highway.
The police turned up.
The police response time is really slow at the moment.
And when they did, they were mobbed by the protesters, and the police car starts to reverse, and the protesters are just firing fireworks at the retreating police cars.
And it just demonstrates there's actually no fear of law enforcement repercussions by these people.
This is just organised lawlessness.
These people know.
It always refers back to the idea of anarcho-tyranny that was developed by Sam Francis, this idea that The power structures that we exist within are far more interested in criminalizing petty minor acts like, oh, somebody insulted somebody on Facebook or Twitter, we best go and arrest them, than actually dealing with true lawlessness, which is in a sense just encouraging it.
Because all of these people, the organizations that they take part of, they, like you say, they know that they're not going to really face any true repercussions from this.
If they get caught at one of these protests, their jobs aren't going to really be at risk, even if they have done something violent.
And most of the time, if they are part of a broader organisation, then further you dig deep into it, you find that there is institutional backing for them, either directly tied to governments, or non-governmental institutions, which inevitably are essentially government institutions anyway.
Well let's see one of those satellite organisations now by going on to what happened in Georgia recently.
So this was the Georgia Atlanta Police Department have set up a new police training facility and they're going to be bulldozing a certain section of forest and large amounts of Antifa activists have turned out to occupy the area Throw rocks, firebombs and fireworks at the police.
And you can see them storming into the compound space now, trying to set up an autonomous zone, setting off fireworks as you see in the camera, and eventually they set light to the bulldozer in this footage that Andy Ngo has shared because Atlanta police decided to release the CCTV footage.
And you can scroll through Andy Ngo's thread if you want to see a lot of this firsthand.
The interesting point that I wanted to make is actually going on to the post-millennial reporting to get some more details about this.
is that Stacey Abrams, the twice now failed governor candidate of Georgia, set up an NGO and the NGO are now bailing people out and supporting this movement.
So what's happening is the American public are having their money inflated to death by quantitative easing and they're being taxed so that the money can go to government funded NGOs that can then pay for government-funded prisons to let out criminals.
So this is a direct war on the working, law-abiding, middle-class and working class of America for the sake of resentful mutants and the oligarchy that benefits from anarcho-tyranny distracting all the hard-working people from why their purchasing power is less and why their politicians never seem to leave office.
So, from this article, since March the 5th, far-left extremists have attacked a future police training facility in Atlanta, Georgia, nicknamed Cop City.
At least 35 people, at the time of recording, including a member of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Again, we see the crossover.
Yeah, I was about to say I heard the SPLC was involved in this.
Yep, they were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism in connection with their involvement in the incident.
According to Fox News, the New Georgia Project, founded by former Democrat gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, received almost $500,000 in COVID-19 bailout money during a year.
Its donations grew by tens of millions of dollars.
There were other financial discrepancies, such as the group reporting that it paid $0 in payroll taxes, according to the Washington Examiner.
On March 7th, Abrams non-profit The New Georgia Project announced on Twitter this Thursday, March 9th at 6pm ET, New Georgia profit activists and partners will be in Atlanta marching to Stop Cop City as part of the National Day of Action Against Police Terror.
The flyer featured the organization's logo alongside those of other radical activist groups.
The accompanying flyer stated, Demand justice for Tyree Nichols, who we've spoken about before, and, I'm going to end up mispronouncing this, Tortuguita?
For Tortuga, I assume.
Yeah.
Yeah, from Pirates of the Caribbean.
I did think about Pirates of the Caribbean.
Some of the scenes do actually look like from Tortuga, where they're throwing people over balconies and stealing their hats.
That makes sense.
Thierry Nichols, if you want justice for Thierry Nichols, there's one very simple thing that you can do, which is increase the standards for hiring in the Atlanta Police Department.
Because, as we know, that was a big factor in hiring all of those police officers.
The black police officers, in particular, given that they were black police officers that killed him, well, they beat him, and then he died later of the injuries, they were all hired well after, or at least most of them were hired after Atlanta Police, I think it was, lowered the standards for hiring to the point where they were even accepting people who were ex-cons, who'd just been five years out of prison, I think it was.
I might be getting some of the details there wrong, so you can fact-check me on the previous segment that I did on this, but that is pretty much they were hiring ex-cons, or at least allowing the hiring of ex-cons, which is, if you're running a police department, that's not what you want to be doing.
Yeah, but that is what you want to be doing if you want to profit from a narco-tyranny by being in power to push the exact kind of ...policies which destabilize a society from the middle outwards, so it makes people more reliant on your legislation.
Otherwise they get eaten by the mob, which are currently behaving like the pirates in Tortuga.
The point that they mentioned about Tortuiga, let's get some background on who this gentleman was.
In January—go back to the other one, please, John—in January, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies conducted a raid on the so-called Autonomous Zone at the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, Which has been occupied by Antifa and other extremists from across the US since June 2021.
According to the GBI, a Georgia state patrol officer, trooper rather, was shot and severely injured during the raid, allegedly by 26-year-old Manuel Esteban Pérez Terán, who went by the alias Tort and Tortuiga.
And as one of the campers in the area, officers returned fire and killed the gunman.
Following the shooting, Antifa members took to the streets of Atlanta to throw rocks and light fires outside the Atlanta Police Foundation after the now suspected Atlanta Forest Twitter account called for a night of rage following the shooting.
Now I've seen other outlets, if you go and look up these articles online for yourself, like The Independent.
Say that Tortuiga was shot, and even Daily Mail did this, and not mention the reason why, the fact that the police were returning fire from the Antifa encampment.
Sorry, I'd just like to correct myself when I was talking about Thierry Nicholls, it was the Memphis Police Department, not Atlanta, so I just wanted to correct myself there.
So according to Fox News, the New Georgia Project was founded by Stacey Abrams.
Sorry, I've already been over that.
So basically what's happening is here, the regime are getting all of that COVID-19 relief money, which they printed and taxed from you, and then giving it literally to facilitate criminals being out on the streets, occupying law enforcement land, and burning down businesses so that you stay terrified and reliant on the state.
So it's a circular system.
If we go on to this next one, the reason I've interjected this here is because I want to elucidate the exact kind of revolutionary psychology which justifies why these street-level activists are doing what they're doing with the endorsement of the regime.
And so I'm going quite a bit back in time to a Polish communist called Rosa Luxemburg, who wrote in December 1918, was eventually killed by the counter-communists and Lenin massively lamented her death.
She is often someone that the contemporary Marxists point to and say, there's a peaceful version of Marxism out there, right?
It's someone that says, Directly, that the proletariat, the working class, the intersectional classes that are oppressed by all of society in a modern context, don't actually want violence.
I think we should actually look at both her and Leon Trotsky in a moment to see how the framework of how they think about the world justifies violence, not themselves ever being as the aggressors, but always that they are committing self-defense against the superstructure that seeks to oppress them.
I did actually see something about this.
I think it was shortfatotaku was responding to something or retweeted and quote tweeted something that I looked at that was quite interesting, which was somebody put it as, you know, the paradox of tolerance that loads of people talk about, where it was Karl Popper talking about, oh, if we want to have tolerance, then we need to be intolerant towards the intolerant.
People were saying, oh, it makes more sense if you think of that less as a principle and more as an aspect of the social contract.
It's more of a part of the social contract that we all agree on, that if you're not abiding by the rules of engagement, so to speak, if you're being intolerant, then you've broken the social contract, therefore you're not protected under the same terms as everybody else.
Therefore, you're allowed to be violently attacked because of the fact that, you know, it's basically just a radicalizing logic that says, you're not human, I can attack you because you're not human, therefore humanistic standards don't apply to you.
Which is, once again, that's just the whole point of repressive tolerance in the first place.
I don't disagree with that dichotomy in some contexts.
For example, criminal justice.
So if you go out and kill a person, you're no longer Under the protections of the law.
I mean, this is just Lockheed in classical liberalism style logic.
But this isn't talking about, I'm being attacked, therefore I have the right to defend myself.
This is talking about, somebody said a mean word to me, therefore I can shoot them in the face.
And this is reinforced not just by everything else we talk about.
I saw a creator on Twitter share a post, a clip, from Far Cry 6.
So this is even going into video games like Far Cry 6.
Where a character, a bad evil person, misgenders somebody's boyfriend, trans boy, and gets shot in the face for it.
And the person shooting them for misgendering is supposed to be the good guy, and presumably as a member of the audience you're supposed to sit there and cheer and clap along and go, yeah, justice!
Hence, you know, Trans Day of Vengeance.
Yeah, we'll see where this kind of logic leads in the present shortly.
So, I just wanted to read a little bit from this, and this is Luxembourg's words.
The proletarian revolution requires no terror for its aims.
It hates and despises killing.
It does not need these weapons because it does not combat individuals but institutions, because it does not enter the arena with naive illusions whose disappointment it would seek to revenge.
It is not the desperate attempt of a minority to mould the world forcibly according to its ideal.
Really?
But the action of the great massive millions of the people, destined to fulfill a historic mission and to transform a historical necessity into reality.
Such arming of the solid mass of laboring people with all political power for the tasks of the revolution, that is the dictatorship of the proletariat and therefore true democracy.
Nowhere the wage slave sits next to the capitalist, the rural proletarian next to the junker, in fraudulent equality to engage in parliamentary debate over questions of life or death, but where the million-headed proletarian masses seize the entire power of the state in its callous fist, like the god thaw his hammer, using it to smash the head of the ruling classes, that alone is democracy, that alone is not a betrayal of the people.
See how they pre-define their utopia as a historical necessity?
That's the clause that they use for the idea of repressive tolerance.
That anyone that's standing in the way of the actualization of the utopia that they've already defined as correct, as a dialectical process that will play out, you're not a principled person who just opposes how it may play out.
Or is challenging some of the premises in good faith.
No, you're an evil impediment to the utopia which is going to be erected and so all actions to defend their utopia from your aggression are permitted.
So they can just kill you so that utopia will exist.
Well this is, at the end of the day, what this clearly is, is just, I already hate you, I already want to kill you, how can I rationalise it and make it sound intellectual?
Especially given, smash the head of the ruling classes.
People like you and I, people who are going to school board meetings and complaining about the fact that, you know, this stuff is being taught in school, are not the ruling classes.
The ruling classes overwhelmingly are people in support of this kind of ideology.
And I think they've made it clear through things like anarcho-tyranny, through the rationalization of repressive tolerance, that these people The people who think that they are the revolutionary proletariat in this circumstances, if you want to classify them that, are basically just useful idiots.
They're the tools of the ruling classes to be able to make it so that people like you and I are either too distracted by everything that's going on, because everything that is going on regarding this, you know, when you've got people running into schools and shooting up small children and teachers, That's still really important.
You want to be able to focus on stuff like that and say, no, that's wrong.
But at the same time, there's lots of other shady stuff that goes on in the background that gets distracted by this.
And then when you've got Antifa and such being backed by the SPLC and going out and attacking police stations, that just reminds everybody, we're not in control, you're powerless, you're pathetic, you're weak, keep it that way.
And then they want to turn around and say it at the same time that we're oppressing people, I find it...
It's all so absurd.
It's so absurd and hilarious but sad at the same time.
Well it's sad because literally we have the bodies of children to prove what this ideology is capable of.
And so I wanted to mention just Leon Trotsky because not only does the regime and the communist revisionists stump for Trotsky as someone who is in favour of peace, if you go on to the next one please John, but This is fascinating, right?
And I think this explains the mindset of the leftists that we'll be looking at shortly as to why they're not... I'm not going to go so far as to say they are endorsing what happened at the high school, but they are kind of understanding it, and they're only opposing it on the grounds of optics, not on the grounds of principle.
Because lots of people point to here and say, oh, Trotsky was always against revolutionary violence.
And he says, no.
There is no need to belabor the point that social democracy has nothing in common with those bought and paid for moralists who, in response to any terrorist act, make solemn declarations about the absolute value of human life.
These are the same people who, on any other occasion, in the name of absolute values, for example, the nation's honour or the monarch's prestige, are ready to shove millions of people into the hell of war.
Today their national hero is the minister who gives the sacred rights of private property, and tomorrow, when the desperate hand of the unemployed workers is clenched into a fist or picks up a weapon, they will start with all sorts of nonsense about the inadmissibility of violence in any form.
Whatever the eunuchs and Pharisees of morality may say, the feeling of revenge has its rights.
It does the working class the greatest moral credit that it does not look with vacant indifference upon what is going on in this best of all possible worlds.
Not to extinguish the proletariat's unfulfilled feeling of revenge, but on the contrary to stir it up again and again to deepen it and to direct it against the real causes of all injustice and human baseness.
That is the task of the social democracy.
If we oppose terrorist acts, it is only because individual revenge on society does not satisfy us.
The account we have to settle with the capitalist system is too great to be presented to some functionary called a minister.
To learn, to see, all the crimes against humanity, all the indignities to which the human body and spirit are subjected, as the twisted outgrowths and expressions of the existing social system, in order to erect all our energies into a collective struggle against the system, that is the direction which the burning desire for revenge can find its highest moral satisfaction.
So lots of them complain that it's lone wolves because they don't want you to blow your load, revolutionary speaking, before you can do one large collective revolutionary push to overthrow the transphobic, oppressive, racist society and win ultimate victory.
That is why the regime does not endorse this school shooting.
Because it's bad optics.
That's it.
Well, yeah.
That's tragic.
I mean, I've even seen posts on some forums, the Reddit forums that I think Rory in the office has shared a few with us this morning, where it was relatively normal sane people on these forums going and saying,
Guys, maybe we should tone down the rhetoric a bit, like, you know, you can say all you want, Ultron's Day of Vengeance, all this, but kids are actually dead, maybe we should pull back, maybe this is painting us to be the exact same sorts of people that Fox News and Matt Walsh say that we are.
Well, it would seem that some people are very comfortable stacking bodies like a tower of bables stretching up to their equitable heaven.
And if those bodies are of children, it doesn't matter.
Now let's see the kind of rhetoric that got us to this place, because in order for them to defend themselves, there has to be a...
hidden hand transphobic conspiracy against which they have to defend themselves, right?
Well, let's look at NBC News just before and after the shooting.
So this was before, in 2021.
Transgender people in survival mode as violence rises, anti-trans bills become law.
And I did hear actually someone on air, and Stephen Crowder played the clip in his show yesterday, but I can't remember which show it was, that as the shooter's identity was made in real time, known to the news anchor.
The news anchor started explaining this comes after recent legislation in Tennessee that has blocked gender affirmative surgery for minors.
They suddenly started to get a producer in their ear saying, right, okay, you need to really harp on these points, get these talking points out, make sure to couch it in all of this dialogue.
You need to give it the kind of context which seems like you're excusing it, which is reprehensible.
So after the shooting, NBC came out with this.
If we go on to the next one, please.
Fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooters' gender identity.
Do you know what this sounds like?
And obviously there are transgender people out there whom I wish the best with their gender dysphoria and living a normal life.
That's all I'm allowed to say on YouTube.
I hope things go better for you than are currently.
Lots of detransitioners and desisters walking away from that toxic ideology.
Yep, Richie Herron and other people I've known in my personal life.
Lovely people who would not dream of being co-opted into this revolutionary vanguard of the resentful and not cognitively all there, I think is all I can say.
That doesn't represent them.
However, this sounds like, do you remember the old Norm Macdonald joke where he said, you know what I'm really worried about is, what keeps me awake at night is if A bunch of Muslim terrorists took a dirty bomb, put it in the middle of New York, and it went off, killing millions of people and irradiating nearby states.
I could only imagine the backlash to actual Muslims in the country.
Imagine, that would be the most painful thing.
Not the irradiated dead, the backlash of other Muslims.
The best part about that joke is the people on the panel with him on his show didn't seem to understand that he was joking and just nodded along like retards.
That's the best part of Norm Macdonald's comedy usually, and it's a shame he lost it.
Shame he's gone.
But it's a shame we also live in his prediction when children have been killed by a trans shooter who had a disintegrated family and other cognitive comorbidities is all I can say on YouTube and yet all they care about is the abstraction of the intersectional coalition of trans identity that may be insulted by this when people go well maybe this isn't the healthiest ideology to live under because it drives you insane
Well, it's interesting that you brought up, you know, there are people out there, probably people watching this video who have suffered from gender dysphoria, going through their own things.
It's funny that this revolutionary fervour and this idea of the trans community always being in constant danger seems to be something that is a very recent development and seems to have been mainly created through fear-mongering sensationalist headlines like this.
Because when you look into it, the population of actual trans people in the West is still vanishingly small.
It's still a fraction of a percentage.
And the fact that you get all of this media and all of the politicians coming to the defense of this group of people, which in reality is probably still in the realm of tens of thousands at most.
It's very clear that this has been organised, to me.
They've wanted to get these people who oftentimes are already suffering from mental illnesses, as many of the younger generations already are, because they're being- I think we'll have to blow that for YouTube.
Oh, sorry!
Oh, bugger.
It's alright.
Oh, well, we've already been demonetised.
No, no, and I wasn't saying gender dysphoria was a mental illness, I was saying- We're gonna have to blur that for YouTube.
Harry, just move on, because otherwise we'll be- Alright, okay, basically, they've been- people- younger people are already very prone to mental illness, more so than they ever used to be, they're already over-medicated, they've already got all of these problems that make them more neurotic and unstable than they used to be in the past.
And then you've got all of this going on.
This is something that has been created.
Like you say, they want situations like the school shooting, they just don't want the individual school shootings that make them look bad.
Exactly.
What they're doing is they're scaremongering a vulnerable population with the ever-present threat of genocide, despite trans people in the US having a murder rate that is three times lower than every other population, but that's neither here nor there.
And then they go, okay, well who's promulgating this genocide?
It's Matt Walsh.
NBC reporter again there is something in the water over NBC I suggest it's estrogen this is a deleted tweet where he says NBC has ID'd the Nashville school shooter as Audrey Hale 28 who identifies as transgender and has no previous criminal record okay but she shot children doesn't matter Nashville is home to the Daily Wire a hub of anti-trans activity by any tags Matt Walsh Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles.
Andrew Claven's probably feeling left out, I suppose.
So they are deliberately saying, okay, these people are to blame for this shooter killing children because they didn't affirm the shooter's trans identity.
And so it perpetuates the narrative that somehow this shooter was justified because if the oppressive society had just agreed with the path we're onto utopia, kids wouldn't have died.
And you can see this also in this next one with Scott Weiner, who is a California Senate.
I believe he's a congressman.
I will... I mean, it said senator.
Oh, he's a senator.
Sorry.
He might be a state senator, that's why.
And it says, as we start Transgender Week of Visibility, a week to uplift our trans siblings, red states to continue continue to all but ban trans people from existing, the war on trans people continues.
Okay, if you have a war, then of course you're justified to fight back.
But you're not in a war.
This is insane, ridiculous rhetoric that is genuinely endangering people's lives, and he knows that, and he's encouraging it, because it serves his own interests being elected, fundraising, and the like.
If we move on to the next one as well, this is also quite frustrating, because if you defend yourself, just as the communists once said that the proletariat are totally fine to crush the bourgeoisie because the bourgeoisie stole all their property from the proletariat, and if the bourgeoisie tried to cling onto their property, then that's just doubly immoral, so that's doubly a reason to kill you.
Piers Morgan, who is like Schrodinger's anti-woke person here, as soon as it comes to guns, he just loses his mind.
What if the science changed, Piers?
What if the data started coming back saying that these anti-gun laws don't actually do anything to help prevent gun deaths, Piers?
Would it change just like it did with COVID?
I mean, you said that science changed with COVID.
I mean, it's already there, he just hasn't seen it yet or has his head in the sand like an ostrich.
He posts a photo of Representative Andy Ogles from Nashville, Tennessee with his family that he took for a Christmas card where they're all holding their rifles to defend their home and implies that the fact that he wants to defend his kid's home with guns is why this insane gunman went into the school and shot a bunch of children.
And also, I mean, I just want to hit this home, because I know we've got American viewers that love their guns, and I really respect that, and I just want to make this point for them, because they'll be screaming it at the screen as well, which is, if you have children in a household full of guns, it's actually very sensible to make sure that as young as possible they know how to properly handle firearms safely.
That's just the sensible thing to do.
Still keep them out of reach, of course at all times, but make sure the child respects the weapon and knows how it is used so they never get on the wrong end of it.
Or if they find themselves on the wrong end of it, they know how to defend themselves.
So, the logic seems to be...
From the activist perspective, I hate myself, lots of people like me hate themselves for the same reasons, and we really envy the people whose consciences aren't screaming at them on a daily basis.
And then someone comes along and says, it's the fault of the successful people over there that don't hate themselves, which is why you haven't lived up to all you wanted to do, and that you hate yourself.
So then, the successful create a structure which inflicts violence on you, and because this is all about violence, The violence aims at your eradication, because if you weren't to exist, they'd be even more successful.
So, it's only because of them that you aren't successful.
Therefore, because they're being violent towards you, take up arms, defend yourself, and when they're gone, it'll be utopia, because we have all the moral virtue on our side.
How does that logic not lead towards a kind of genocide?
That's why you're seeing these intersectional shootings and this intersectional terrorism because they genuinely want you dead because they see you in the way of utopia.
That is disturbing.
And so that moral brain rot brings us on to our last couple of items.
Yesterday, on The View, morality was so inverted that Sunny Hostin decided to justify the Uyghur concentration camps in China because she says America imprisons black people.
I'm sorry to subject you to this clip, Harry, but we have to listen.
And so as a woman of color with a 6'2 black kid in college and a 5'7, 5'8 black kid in high school, I don't see that part of American exceptionalism.
I'm sorry.
I think this country has a lot of problems that could be solved.
Yes, maybe they're putting Muslims in jail in Afghanistan, I think you mentioned, and China.
They're putting a lot more black people in jail here.
But can I ask...
It's funny that she's so stupid, but that's so morally perverse.
Thank you.
Intersectionality can only lead you to this position where black is whiten up is down.
I just...
It's astounding.
But it's also evil.
It's genuinely the banality of evil.
Because she says, okay, my in-group preference triumphs the fact that actual violations of human autonomy are going on overseas.
That's horrible.
And it's also why you end up in situations like this, which we haven't talked about yet.
Think someone needs to, eventually.
Anyone else, I'm sure, see the video of this black gentleman insulting a toddler on the New York subway, the racial epithets?
And a family.
I would recommend anybody who wants more in-depth examination of this particular clip go and check out Oron McIntyre's live stream on this.
He did a few days ago because it was really good.
But for those of you who aren't aware, it's just a subway.
You know, I assume in New York this family is probably going somewhere or coming back from somewhere.
Just man, wife, child, and this black guy just out of nowhere.
We don't have the context of what went on, but it doesn't justify it anyway.
This black guy just starts berating them very violently, screaming at them about how they're monkeys, how he's better than them, how he's gonna outbreed them, I'm gonna look better than you when you're the same age that I am right now.
Yeah.
very strange, completely out of nowhere.
He starts doing this thing where he starts going into a semi-rap where he starts throwing out words with the same syllables that rhyme with one another as if that's supposed to make him seem smart.
And the only reason he can get away with this and the only reason that the family can't really stand up for themselves in the way that loads of people were begging them to is because he knows implicitly whether or not he'd accept it if he told it to him.
He knows implicitly he can't get in trouble for this because he's of the right demographics.
Yeah.
If the father, who is white, stood up and punched the man in the mouth that is screaming at his wife and child on the subway, the father would get in trouble.
He'd probably go to prison.
Yeah, because the aggressor is the skin colour that the regime like and want to turn into a revolutionary constituency to empower themselves forever.
Now, because you spoke about the Trans Day of Vengeance, we fortunately have Elon Musk recognising this because, again, the final logic of this is some kind of transgender uprising where they kill all the sissies, which is evil,
Unfortunately, conservatives have been banned in the mass wave of deciding to take down these tweets because the algorithm indiscriminately just saw the word vengeance, and so they banned Marjorie Taylor Greene, well, they suspended them, Andy Ngo, and Michael Knowles, who didn't even post about Trans Day of Vengeance, he just posted a Bible quote with the word vengeance in it.
So they're just searching for particular terms?
Yeah.
So we still have yet to mount a sufficient means of stopping this being spread, because even then, when we try to police it, we just play whack-a-mole and end up hitting our own side.
So this is going to take about a generation to dissipate, even if the regime weren't actively enforcing and endorsing it, and it's Very free and fair elections.
So, the state wants you.
Afraid, easy to control, and therefore reliant on them for the sole source of protection, particularly if they take away your guns.
These people believe in violent revolution that would see you dead.
So, all I can suggest is the Scott Adams approach, which is get the hell away from intersectional ideologues and try and hunker down until the storm's all over because, unfortunately, woke terrorism will continue.
And on that chirpy note, let's take a look at the occupation of Scotland.
Or, as I will prefer to refer to it, the inevitable downfall of the SNP.
Because they're not coming back after this one, I tell you.
This is not going to end well for the SNP.
They are already fracturing as a party, which may have some benefits for Scottish Conservatives, question mark, but in more likelihood will just lead to a Labour takeover.
The idea that there aren't any Scottish Conservatives?
I looked at a recent map and there was mainly the southern constituent, southern-most constituencies of Scotland have conservative MPs, but we know that conservative MPs in the UK aren't... Aren't conservative!
Aren't useful in the first place.
That's the point I was getting at, Harry!
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point as well, but Labour's going to take over Scotland, just like Labour...
Yeah, we'll take over England as well.
And then we'll have another, you know, five to ten years of Labour rule across the entirety of Britain.
We have a Pakistani in charge of Scotland now, we've got an Indian in charge of England, which will be very interesting given historical grievances there.
They're literally arguing over the partition of the UK.
You know, time is a flat circle, my friend.
But before I get any further into this, I'd like to promote an article that we've had up recently, which sadly did have the heavy metal number of views at 666 when I looked at this just a moment ago, but is now up to 667, so it's no longer as heavy metal an article as I originally hoped.
But Alexander Adams, who always does really good work for us, he's recently released a book, I think, called Blood, Paint and Soil, through Imperium Press, where he's talking about art's Connection to nationalism, which should be really interesting.
I think we've got a copy in the office that I'm interested in reading myself.
But he does really good stuff, and this one was talking about, is WikiLeaks art?
Because he is an artist himself, so he's examining what is the artistic merit of something like WikiLeaks.
So check that out if you're interested.
But yes, what we are talking about now is going to be the hostile takeover of Scotland by its 2% Demographics, that being the demographics of Asians and particularly I think it's 0.4% or something because they've got about 400,000 Pakistani in the entire country and now they rule you because Humza Yousaf succeeded Nicholas Sturgeon as the SNP leader after Nicholas Sturgeon managed to shoot herself in both feet at the same time by pushing for the gender recognition bill
In Scotland, which got blocked by the UK, by the English Parliament, and then tanked the SNP in the polls, and also simultaneously tanked Scottish desire for independence.
Because they all just went, oh, that's what we're going to get?
If we're independent?
Oh bloody hell, we don't be wanting that, do we?
It was about as successful as Hamza Yusuf trying to ride a scooter down a hallway.
Oh, I should have included that clip in here.
You can just, John, you'll be able to find that clip if you want.
We'll watch that at the end of the stream so that we all have something to enjoy ourselves with.
And we can just have that on repeat in the background when we answer some comments.
But, so what happened, like I said, Sturgeon decided to oust herself because everybody hated her.
And Hamza Yusuf was part of the race to get into the new SNP leader.
And he won because the two people he was going against, one was Kate Forbes.
The other one was, I forget what her name is.
Yeah, if it's called Ash Reagan, that was her name.
So you can see this was...
Looks like Angela Rayner, Rory's bird.
She does, actually, but...
What happened?
Kate Forbes came out as being massively socially conservative.
She didn't like gay marriage, she didn't like abortion, and she didn't like other things to do with the LGBT Rainbow Coalition.
I'm listening.
Humza Yousaf, being given his, you know, ethnicity and also his religion, probably also doesn't support those things, but was smart enough to not say it out loud, and therefore got pushed through.
And after this happened, he was given And now we've got the inevitable bragging!
Before he became First Minister, he still needed to go through a vote in the Scottish Parliament, which he also won if you go to the next link.
So he was backed by his own MSPs, members of Scottish Parliament, and Scottish Greens, which guaranteed him a majority.
All the rest of the parties in Scotland stood against him, but that didn't really do much because he got the majority there.
And now we've got the inevitable bragging.
We've got the braggings because did you know?
Did you know?
Humza Youssef, first British Asian Scottish Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, first British Asian UK Prime Minister, and Sadiq Khan, first British Asian London Mayor, from Dr. Scholar!
Dr. Shola, who I'm sure is- He doesn't like Rishi Sunak!
I know she's certain that England and Scotland and all of Britain is incredibly racist, which is interesting that she then posts this, because this seems to actively disprove her statements.
But also, I guess Mark Drayford?
Is all we've got in Wales.
Well, Welsh is... Foreigner used to refer to the Welsh as a word.
Yeah.
So we're literally governed by foreigners at all sides.
We've literally got Welsh in everywhere.
Every position of society we've got Welshmen.
And the Irish are black, so... That's why I've got an N-word pass, boys.
That's what we get, yeah.
You're quarter Irish or whatever it is.
Or are you half Irish?
Say half.
Doesn't get me thrown out as many pubs.
Let's separate there a bit.
Don't check under your car as you go home.
Anyway... Where'd my tyres go?
So, it's very interesting, and once again, everybody decided to crawl out of the woodwork so they could go, Asian!
He's Asian!
Muslim!
First Minister, Muslim, Asian!
Asian First Minister, Muslim man!
First ever Asian man to be Muslim and First Minister!
Can you believe it?
Oh my god!
So, I own a... That's okay, Clint!
Congratulations to Humza Yousaf on becoming First Person of Colour and First Minister of Scotland!
Who's Muslim!
He's Muslim!
Oh my God!
Hadrian's Wall just got ten feet higher.
It is a historic day for Scotland.
Then we have this guy, some Nigerian guy, Peter Obi, who's part of the Labour Party in Nigeria, decided to say, say, see, this is what happens when you competence rules.
This is what happens when meritocracy is king.
That is High praise coming from a man whose profile photo looks like he had an anvil dropped on his head in the Looney Tunes.
Bloody hell, man!
Okay, and then we had SNP MPs themselves, Angus Robertson, Historic Day, Humza Yousaf, First Minister of Scotland, Muslim, Asian man, oh my god!
Then, somebody else as well, Sundar says... He's the first Muslim!
First Muslim ever!
Sorry to audio listeners, by the way.
and also to be first minister of Scotland, born in Glasgow in 1985, to parents who came from Pakistan and Kenya.
He's the first Muslim!
First Muslim ever!
Sorry to audio listeners, by the way.
You're going to have no...
I'm sorry.
I'm very tired and I need to stay awake, so I'm just amping myself up.
And then if we go to the next one, the SNP themselves.
They gave the little checklist.
First Scots-Asian nominated as Prime Minister.
First Muslim of any Western democracy.
First child descended from emigrants nominated as First Minister.
Wow!
This is like when Kamala Harris was being nominated for... We got the checkmarks out.
On the BBC and it was like, Asian-American, Black American, woman.
Lovely.
This is all that qualifies.
This is what happens when meritocracy rules.
Obviously, it's just a coincidence that he manages to hit all of the checkmarks of intersectional ideology and also happens to be the perfect person to absolutely humiliate Scottish people.
But some would say that that is the point.
Some would say that that is the point.
The first thing he did... I'm glad his dad looks happy, at least.
Jesus, even his beard is frowning.
Christ!
A man with a jaw like that can only ever look miserable, I'm sorry.
Sky News reported that Humza Yousaf, now been elected new leader of SNP and now is also First Minister of Scotland, says the first thing he is determined to do is deliver independence for Scotland.
The people of Scotland need independence now more than ever before.
I agree.
I don't want to pay for you.
Sorry.
Like, I actually really like the Scots.
I do, because... We pay your benefits.
We pay your benefits.
Someone needs to adapt that to the Barnett formula.
Edinburgh's a lovely city, but Scotland does not have the leadership it deserves, but it keeps voting them in, so... Sorry.
Off you float.
Count Dankula, if you're watching this, if you can say anything.
If you're okay right now, please blink twice.
Yeah, Dank's gonna get another knock on the door from the police from Humza Yousaf's hate crime legislation, I'm sure.
Yes, because that is something we'll go through in a moment, but the other thing that Humza Yousaf wants to do, as well as independence, these two things are going to appear to be mutually exclusive to one another, given the popularity among actual Scottish people, but apparently he wants independence here, he also wants to Push through the gender recognition bill.
You know, that thing that sank Nicola Sturgeon in the first place.
Because what there was, there was this little thing that happened.
What was it?
Isla Bryson?
Isla Bryson, the male rapist who decided while he was in custody that he had suddenly become a woman.
It's suddenly become an innie rather than an outie.
Funny how that happens.
And then decided, I want to be in a woman's prison.
And Nicola Sturgeon and others in the SNP were like, hmm.
Tricky one, that.
Tricky one.
They didn't just immediately go, no.
No.
They went, ooh, this raises some interesting questions about the nature of humanity, gender, and biology.
Well, they discovered a whole new gender, as Nicola Sturgeon said in her Disastrous ITV interview.
Because you now have male, female, and rapist.
Which is interesting.
Interesting that that's nice and cordoned off.
So, no male can be a rapist, apparently, because they're just a separate gender.
I choose to identify that way.
But also, if you protect gender identity under the law, does that now mean that Canada protects rapists legally?
If you identify as a rapist, you can just charge someone at the Ontario Human Rights Committee for not respecting your pronouns.
Oh, perhaps.
But so, Humza Yousaf vowed to resurrect the controversial trans self ID reforms that fuelled Nicola Sturgeon's downfall.
That's a winning political formula right there if I've ever seen one.
Confirming after his win that he wanted to take court action to try and force through the gender recognition reform bill, Mr Yousaf said, I see it as a veto, as a power grab by the UK government.
I don't think they have any right to use that Section 35 power, except under devolved parliamentary rules, they absolutely do.
So, interesting take you've got there.
Given that the majority of Hollyrood, of course, backed the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which is exactly the reason that Scotland should not have a devolved parliament if you are full of MPs or SMPs... MSPs, bloody hell, who all support that.
This is a massive...
...self-own against Scottish independence, and why everybody hates the SNP all of a sudden.
Well, not all of a sudden, but Scottish people hate the SNP all of a sudden.
So of course my first principle, my starting principle, is to challenge that Section 35 order.
Good luck man, good luck!
Okay, some would say, some would say that Humza was purposefully positioned as the replacement in some kind of back room, back alley deals to sink the SNP, because everybody knows that everybody hates Humza Yousaf, everybody knows how popular the clip of him falling over on a scooter is, and everybody knows that everybody hates the gender recognition reform bill in Scotland.
And so he was parachuted in, To make sure, because only SNP members could vote between him, Ash Regan and Kate Forbes, and his election has already fractured the SNP.
Already.
So just to remind everybody, the reforms would allow all Scots over the age of 16 to change their legal gender by signing a declaration.
They were blocked by Westminster over concerns that they would undermine the Equalities Act and threaten women's rights across the UK, something that obviously they would do.
Yeah, but that's also the only defence is the Blairite paradigm.
It's like Or, or, we could say you shouldn't cut children's bollocks off.
That would be a great idea, but no, instead- Oh, you can't threaten Tony Blair legislation.
That would help, but have you considered- Asian man, Muslim!
Oh God, alright then.
The reforms also provoked a row about the housing of trans prisoners in women's prisons, blah blah blah, Isla Bryson, which inevitably came to the shocking and radical conclusion that we shouldn't house rapists with lots of vulnerable women.
I know authentic women all have face tattoos.
Yes.
A senior SNP insider, and here's where we get to the juicy bit, warned that the leadership election result showed a party divided down the middle, adding the SNP will come under electoral pressure in the next general election, the likes of which it hasn't seen in 15 years.
The unionists will be laughing all the way to the political bank.
Humza has terrible ratings already with the public, and I cross-referenced this and double-checked, Only 22% of people polled in Scotland think he'll do a good job, which is abysmal approval ratings that I've seen.
But the 22% is remarkably high for, but I suppose a lot of Scots are on heroin and they would have to be able to influence to give that kind of answer.
Voters just don't think he's up to the job, and they don't trust him.
I don't think he'll last more than 18 months, and that might also refer to the party, because as I said, it has already started fracturing after this happened.
Kate Forbes immediately decided, screw this, I'm taking my ball and going home.
She said she finished second in the SNP leadership race, she's to leave the Scottish government, the BBC understands the Finance Secretary was offered a move to Rural Affairs by the new First Minister, but turned down the job because it would have been seen as a major demotion.
So he basically gave her a backhanded compliment that was an insult.
His first move, as well as going through the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which she is a social conservative as far as I've seen, probably does not support And then immediately goes, how would you like to take this obvious and clearly humiliating demotion?
She goes, no.
How would you literally like to govern the wilderness?
How's that for an exile?
How would you like to govern the mountains?
Back in the day, back in the day, that might have been an honorable position, but currently it's an obvious insult.
Miss Forbes announced, uh, has launched a highly personal attack, had launched a highly personal attack on Yousef during the SMP leadership contest.
When she questioned whether he was capable of being First Minister during a live STV, uh, STV, not STD, STV debate.
How is that a personal attack?
You're just saying, are you up to the job?
Well, no, she said to, she told Mr Yusuf, you were Transport Minister and the trains were never on time.
Obvious fascist dog whistle, Mussolini in waiting right there.
When you were just a Secretary, the police were stretched to breaking point.
And now as Health Minister, we've got record high waiting times.
And he seems to have taken all of that Very personally, because as we know, the only thing that people can really take as personally, stuff like that, is when it's all obviously true.
And now the Scottish Tories, as I said, this is a long shot, but they think they can claw back some seats that were won by the SNP in 2017.
So they held some seats between 2017 and 2019, I think, and they want to get those back.
We'll see what happens, but more likely it's going to be Labour ends up taking over a lot of the area that was typically being ruled.
or administered by the SNP for a long time like they've said that they are set to take about 10 seats in 2024 and this is according to polling which you know the more SNP fails and fractures and this is once again based on current projections as things go on this party could fracture even more I think what Humza Yousaf has said is what he wants to do.
He wants to do a grassroots independence campaign.
He doesn't want to make the 2024 general election a de facto independence referendum like Sturgeon did.
Instead he wants to get boots on the ground and knock on people's doors and say, do you want independence?
At which point the Scots will spit in their face and slam the door.
Yeah, treat them like a Jehovah's Witness.
There you go.
That's what's going to be happening.
And as his leadership goes on, as more Divides within the party start to occur.
The party will probably fracture more, so I'm going to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see Labour taking more than just the 10 seats.
And just so that everybody remembers exactly why everybody hates Humza Yousaf so much.
So some of his greatest hits.
So first of all, he was in charge of the Hate, Crime and Public Order of Scotland Bill, which was passed in 2021.
Brought forward by Justice Secretary at the time, Humza Yousaf will introduce stirring up of hate offences on characteristics including disability, sexual orientation and age.
So I think Scotland was already had hate speech legislation but this made it even tighter and even stricter and much more controversially made it so that conversations over the dinner table that incited hatred
could be used to fuel police investigations of hate speech because say for instance you said something over the dinner table or you had an uncle who decided to be your rude and not politically correct uncle over the dinner table and you as the law-abiding and well-meaning 15-year-old Scottish oversensitive schoolgirl overheard it and mentioned to your friend that he said that she mentions to somebody who tells the police all of a sudden your uncle can be held liable for that in a court of law for hate speech
Because the Scottish Tories decided what they wanted to do was like a domestic pass or something like that.
Something to protect speech that was made within the privacy of a household.
Oh right, we're going to be raped in the bum at least for a condom.
Exactly.
Just sensible, conservative talking points.
That's all we're looking for here.
This island is such an embarrassment.
We're looking for common sense hate speech laws.
That's all we need.
And Humza Yousaf decided that wasn't good enough and it got passed the way it was in the first place.
So Scotland is a ridiculous country.
And then, just to highlight how ridiculous these laws were, Humza Yousaf himself managed to say things that got him reported.
By the police for this, because when he came out in front of the Scottish Parliament and said Isla Bryson is not a real trans woman, she's obviously somebody who's just trying to manipulate the law to get away with raping people.
Oh really?
That's interesting.
Somebody was like, hold up!
That could be marginalising the trans community, Humza, and so reported him to the police for it.
I don't think anything came of it, because of course, if you're in power, you are above the law, which I think is what the point of liberal democracy was supposed to be.
I can't exactly remember, but that's what happened.
It's a law so stupid that he can't even keep to it himself.
And then let's just go back to everybody's favourite, the greatest hit of all time when it comes to our good old friend Yusuf, was him making sure everybody knew just how much he hated white people.
Let's play this clip.
99% of the meetings I go to I'm the only non-white person in the room.
But why are we so surprised when the most senior positions in Scotland are filled almost exclusively by those who are white?
Take my portfolio alone.
The Lord President, white.
The Lord Justice Clerk, white.
Every High Court judge, white.
The Lord Advocate, white.
The Solicitor General, white.
The Chief Constable, white.
Every Deputy Chief Constable, white.
Every Assistant Chief Constable, white.
The head of the Law Society, white.
The head of the Faculty of Advocates—white.
Every prison governor—white.
And not just justice.
The chief medical officer—white.
The chief nursing officer—white.
The chief veterinary officer—white.
The chief social work adviser—white.
Almost every trade union in this country is headed by people who are white.
In the Scottish Government, every director general is white.
Every chair of every public body is white.
You better lose yourself in the- Sorry.
I mean, Jesus Christ, if you lost count, that was, what, 13 hoits in less than a minute.
He had a quickfire round at the end there, I'm almost impressed.
He really did, and this is just to point out, but Scotland is 96% hoit demographically, so why he's so shocked at these figures I don't know.
Maybe he just hates white people, but that's just conjecture.
I would suggest he's feigning offense to earn power for himself, but maybe that's just a conspiracy theory.
Yes, and I just because I saw somebody share this out, I needed to bring this up, if only briefly.
I'm not doing this to direct hatred towards anybody.
If you could bring up the next tweet that I had here, John, please.
So scroll up so we can see the context for this.
Steve Edgington said, this sinister individual is now the SNP leader, Scotland is 96% white, as a reminder, sharing out the clip that we just watched there.
Stephen's a very good reporter by the way, I would just like to mention that.
He is, he is.
And if we scroll down we had our old pal Jordan B. Peterson who seems to, after getting out of Russia a few years ago, seems to have Taken quite the u-turn.
Responds with this, out of nowhere, a swerve heel turn.
Jordan Peterson, with the steel chair, from out of nowhere, says, by what standards is he not white?
Is he not white like Italians, Jews and Irishmen were not once white?
He was born in... he's from Pakistan, Jordan.
Like, his last name is Yusuf.
Come on.
He is very proud of his Pakistani heritage.
I don't remember any period of time, in any period of history, where Southeast Asians... well, no, sorry, South Asians, who are very proudly South Asian, and want to reaffirm that identity at all times, who, if I remember correctly, were swollen to Scottish Parliament speaking Urdu.
I don't remember any period of history when they were white.
But also, okay, by what standard?
Um, my eyes, and also his own, because he hates white people.
So why are you trying to bring him into a category which we neither denote any ideological significance on beyond skin colour, and also that he doesn't want to be a part of?
Like, why are you trying to olive branch this obvious race grifter?
I mean, Stephen... Sorry, not Stephen.
Jordan must not have watched the clip, because people are pointing out, you know, he did go on a massive rant about white people in the clip that was shared, Jordan.
Why didn't you watch that?
It's just very strange that Jordan is now using the same logic used by trans ideologues that he opposed in the first place.
For good reason.
Yeah, when they were like, oh, what is a woman anyway?
And he was like, oh, well, you know, just because there's blurry boundaries and there's, you know, actual intersexual people doesn't mean that the category doesn't exist.
All of a sudden Jordan is using that same very logic.
I just, I know this isn't material to the rest of the segment.
I just needed to bring it up because it was so disappointing to see this.
Jordan has not been on his best form as far as I'm concerned for a long time now, but this is the absolute nadir of anything that I've seen come from his mind.
But, Let's move on, there's the last part of this segment, to the most important question facing Britain now.
The new question, the dividing line of this once great isle.
Are you pro-Pakistan or pro-India?
With Britain now completely controlled by South Asians, the culture war is finally over.
Reflecting Britain's new demographics, right versus left, is now shaped by the crucial question Are you pro-India or pro-Pakistan?
And for an example of the kind of political language we can hear in the future, just scroll down for me here.
This is from Kunli Drukpa, by the way, who always makes fantastic material.
Scroll down for me.
As conservatives, we believe that Kashmir has always been part of India.
You just know this is gonna happen.
Personally, I declare my allegiance to England and the Union of Great Britain, but that isn't really worth much these days, is it?
I like working toilets.
Yeah, let's go on to the final segment.
Alright then.
So DC Comics has recently been committing suicide and despite how much we both love the characters, I can't say it isn't deserved given the total turds it's been churning out for the past couple of years.
Here's a crash course for the misery that fans like us are subjected to That we can all look forward to in future, just so you don't have to watch it.
If you do want to watch some good comics content, you can go over and look at the Comics Corner tab on our website.
We're up to five episodes now.
The sixth one is in the works.
Do we want to leak what the topic is yet?
I may have posted some memes about it recently.
You'll be very pleased that we are delving somewhat into Eastern culture, shall we say.
Yes, we shall say that.
It's £5 a month and you get all the content on our website.
We have been demonetised on YouTube, so help us keep the lights on and get loads of content like this.
And also, I just wanted to plug, very briefly, there's an interview I recently did, if we go to the next one please, John, with YouTuber The Fourth Age on his channel, it's an hour, chatting about the American Monomyth and the progressive perversion of comics, and I think we really get to the heart of exactly why woke ideologues co-opt all our stories as a power play, because They've already defined their utopia as inevitable, they define their identities as marginalised, and therefore there must be something ethical to them.
And because they're being marginalised by the oppressive society, the act of heroism is no longer an individual virtue, but instead to reject all society by just being your true self.
And so they're literally speaking utopia into being by taking all of your characters you once beloved and turning them black and gay.
Great stuff.
So, let's go on to this first article about how Shazam 2 recently came out.
Did you see it, Harry?
No.
No, I don't want to.
You couldn't be bothered to see Lucy Liu play a Greek god?
I've never cared about the Shazam series.
I have seen the first film.
It was rubbish.
At a friend's house.
Because they put it on and there was nothing else to do.
So I watched it.
I didn't think it was awful.
It was cringeworthy.
It was like if Big was a superhero, but it just wasn't funny.
It had some very out-of-place horror scenes with the main villain.
I wish they would have lent into that rather than the cheesy jokes.
And I know he's the big red cheese, but it was just too juvenile for my liking.
I mean, honestly, I don't remember a single thing about it.
And nobody will remember the second one, because Fury of the Gods has only made $65 million on opening weekend, and it's projected to make $85 million when the budget was $100 million plus marketing.
So it's going to be a catastrophic loss.
For those unaware, generally speaking, if we're talking about movie budgets, what you need to do is take the stated production budget, and for marketing, double it.
100 million dollar production budget that equals 200 million dollars overall if you include marketing so if it's only made 65 million dollars that is a 135 million dollar deficit that needs to be made up somehow which it doesn't look likely because recently zachary levi came out and said please come watch this movie instead of john wick 4 and most people went how about no um it's only going to make 4 million in china falling short of the 30 million that the first film made at The original finished with $140 million domestically and $366 million worldwide.
So on a $100 million budget, it made over $500 million.
So that was a rousing success.
I don't know why anybody expects these movies to make money in China anymore.
Everybody knows the only Western films that make money in China are the Transformers series, for some reason.
Which are equally as atrocious after Dark Side of the Moon, which I did quite enjoy.
I've got terrible taste, look.
Did you just enjoy the 3DR shots of the new love interest in that movie?
I mean, she was quite fit, but the actual fights were kinda cool.
Anyway, let's not get distracted.
Look, David F. Sandberg has come out and said he's gonna quit superhero movies now because of all the studio interference, because it turns out... Oh, really?
Yeah.
Turns out he wanted Mr. Mind and Black Adam as the villains, and Dwayne The Rock Johnson said, how about I give Black Adam his own franchise, and he fights Superman, and we don't have a Shazam cameo in Black Adam, and completely disconnect the series from each other.
And then James Gunn said, best I can do is Ezra Miller.
I think Ezra Miller's done lots of people in Hollywood, but there we go.
Anyway, on to the next one.
We like Joker, right?
Joker was good.
It's the best thing they've done in ages.
Joker 2 looks terrible.
Other than knowing that it's apparently going to be a musical, I don't know anything about this.
Let's scroll down.
We can see Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, and they went all out on the production budget.
Did they go down to a local corner costume shop?
Actually, no, I've seen better.
If you go to Love Your Babes in Manchester, you can get better than that.
It's a costume shop.
I'm sure it is, Harry.
If you pay enough.
Anyway, if we can scroll down as well, Two-Face is going to be in it.
I think what they're doing, apparently, is they're basing it off of Harleen, which is the black label book that came out quite a while ago, which was meant to be a dark romance comic.
So it's basically going to be a Harlequin novel version of the Joker.
I will be honest, most... I've not read many, but of them that I have read, romance comics tend to be rubbish.
Yes, we're going to get a highly effeminised musical version of a great movie, just probably because all the mainstream press turned around and said, but this is going to be co-opted by incels, so therefore, we need to make it on the right side of history.
Anyway, on to the next one.
There's more bad news from here on out, because of course, James Gunn has taken over the DC Universe, and this is his new plan, which I'm not very enthusiastic about, which we've been through.
So, James Gunn's basically scrapping pretty much every film, other than he's still releasing Aquaman 2, I don't know if Amber Heard's still in it, because apparently her scenes might have been cut out and replaced with Ben Affleck, but they haven't done test screening yet.
Ben Affleck is playing the love interest now?
I mean, Ben Affleck is probably better looking than Amber Heard, to be fair, at this point.
The walls hit that woman hard, just like she hit Johnny Depp.
Anyway, so these are to be released between 2025 and 2027.
This slate is called Gods and Monsters.
James Gunn actually in here criticised the prior DC Rain, which was Walter Hamada, saying no one was minding the mint.
They were just giving IPs away like they were party favours to any creators that smiled at them.
So they were intellectual IP whores.
He says that the Flash basically resets everything, which...
We're still having the prominence around the Flash, right?
Really?
I mean, Ezra Miller is now a... was he convicted?
I don't think he's convicted.
I know that he had, for a while, he had a search warrant out in his name because he was... he did vanish off the face of the earth and tweet out, well, not tweet out, posted on Instagram that he'd gone to an alternate dimension when people were trying to investigate him for, you know, assault, grooming girls, and all sorts of things.
Choking a woman out on camera?
Yeah, not great.
Apparently Blue Beetle, that's also releasing this year, is still in the works.
But then after that, pretty much all the films other than the Batman 2 are being axed, and these are the replacements.
So we've got Creature Commandos, an animated TV series about a bunch of monsters fighting the Nazis.
High priority.
Definitely.
I've not seen that story before.
Yep.
Waller.
So Amanda Waller is getting her own TV series.
Oh, the most interesting character in the Suicide Squad.
Oh, well, she's an interesting character in the comics, but I'm sure it's just going to be about her family background and how they keep her sister down.
Superman Legacy is going to be the first proper film to kick off the new DC Universe, based on all-star Superman.
Which could be interesting, until you realise that Grant Morrison is probably involved in the production process, and Grant Morrison has become a they-them recently, and we will see... Grant Morrison has always been insane, and he has had flashes of genius here and there.
Now he'll be flashing something else, I'm sure.
Yeah, we will see Grant Morrison's most recent comics shortly.
Yeah, not great.
Lanterns, which is going to be Jon Stewart and Hal Jordan, which actually sounds quite interesting, and it's going to be a true detective-style intergalactic mystery.
Do I trust them to execute it properly?
No.
Do I hold out hope?
No.
Would this be good if it were anyone else other than James Gunn?
Yes.
At the very least, they've got a black superhero, Jon Stewart, who actually started as black in the comic books, so that's something, although maybe Hal Jordan will be Hispanic now, who knows?
We'll find out later that Hal Jordan might be gay.
Of course.
We also have The Authority.
Now, the interesting thing about The Authority is it was the parody team that was created years ago.
Mark Miller creation.
Was it Mark Miller?
I'm pretty sure it was a Mark Miller creation which does not bode well.
I think we're going to be corrected on that.
I think it's Warren Ellis.
Warren Ellis, that's it.
Yeah, Warren Ellis and then Mark Miller took over afterwards.
Right, for those who don't know, the leaders of The Authority are a gay analogue for Superman and Batman, which is Apollo and Midnighter.
And if you go to the most recent Superior comic, The Authority, written by Grant Morrison, if we go to the next one, they featured Omak, a rebooted version of Omak, as a non-binary black woman.
If we scroll down to the art, please, John.
The .elog box says, where she goes, I'm there.
Pronouns he, him, they.
That is some flat, Flat corporate art style being used right there.
I could see that on a PowerPoint presentation.
Yeah.
But it's ideologically contaminated, so won't you want to buy it?
No.
No, me neither.
Do you know what the hilarious thing about OMAC is as well?
Obviously the Jack Kirby creation.
During Infinite Crisis, have you read it?
Yeah, I've read Infinite Crisis, but ages ago and I don't remember the plot, but carry on anyway.
Okay, well, the OMAC project, for people that don't know, OMAC became a mind virus, kind of like the Borg, that would infect normal human beings and turn them into autonomous robots at the will of a technocratic satellite that wanted to kill all exceptional superhumans.
This is not the message that progressives want.
No.
But it is one that does parallel their actual beliefs and actions in the world.
Giant mind virus to crush the exceptional.
Sounds about right.
Anyway, back to the slate.
We've got Paradise Lost.
So, an entire HBO Max show about the Amazons.
Which certainly won't have newbie and a bunch of lesbians in it.
And not the fun kind.
Oh, now you've got my interest.
Say no more.
This is one of the most concerning.
Again, Grant Morrison's hands all over this.
Brave and the Bold.
Now, it's not the golden, sorry, Bronze Age comic where Batman teamed up with other people.
No, it's going to be a new Batman.
Not to be confused with Ben Affleck, who's also in The Flash and possibly in Aquaman.
Or Robert Pattinson's Batman, who's still having his movie trilogy being made.
It's brand new Batman.
And Damian Wayne.
Favourite Robin.
Petulant eight-year-old.
Edgelord.
I really like Grant Morrison's run on Batman, and I quite like Damian Wayne.
I am not a fan.
But once again, it's going to be rubbish.
Don't get me wrong, just because I like some of the source material, some of this is going to be based off of, doesn't mean I have any faith that it's going to be anything other than terrible.
Yeah.
Booster Gold on HBO Max, which would be really good.
Again, if Dan Juergens, I don't know if he is involved at all, but I don't know if anyone's ever read Booster Gold, but it's basically a guy who goes back in time, uses future technology to become a corporate superhero, and he's got imposter syndrome, which could be interesting.
Again, do we trust the execution here?
Supergirl, Woman of Tomorrow.
Now that's based on a title of a Tom King comic.
So Tom King is involved in writing this.
Bear in mind, Tom King was the man who ruined DC Rebirth with Heroes in Crisis by making Wally West a serial killer.
The main thing that worries me about this is that Supergirl does not have the best recent track record in television adaptations, so... No, we will talk about that later.
And then the last thing is Swamp Thing.
One of my favourite characters of all time.
Who has not given the best movie treatment throughout history, let's be honest.
Wes Craven tried his best, but it didn't look very good.
And the recent TV series was... meh.
Again, more race swapping involved.
It just seems like one that I don't particularly trust in the execution.
I'd love it at any other time, but the team behind it don't seem that great.
So, total apathy bleeding forth through all of this.
And in this article, it's hidden, J.J.
Abrams' Ta-Nehisi Coates Black Superman project is still happening.
How do you race swap Swamp Thing?
Is it gonna be Safari Thing?
They already have.
Ram V's Swamp Thing Run is an Indian man.
Oh god!
Yep.
So... Roush thing.
Yeah, it's the... No, I'm not going to say that.
It's not mud, it's from the streets.
So, speaking of turd things that are going to come out, Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Superman project is still apparently in works.
That's not great.
Okay.
But, fortunately, the comics are going really well, right?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
No, no, if we go to the next one.
They've cancelled two books.
Let's go!
Now, they deserved cancellation.
Let's go!
Because this is Tim Drake's Robin and Batgirls.
Now, any other time, we would have been sad about this, but don't worry.
Tim Drake's Robin was about the bisexual Robin, and all of the issues were him going on dates with his boyfriend with terrible Californian art style.
And then the synopsis for the last issue of Batgirls, I'll read to you.
The people of the hill have had enough of gun bunny and gun hawk's demands, and take to the streets to march in solidarity with the Batgirls.
Moved by this, the Batgirls join in, proving to both the city and the snipers that Gothamite should not be underestimated and that we can overcome even the darkest of times if we have each other.
Come join the Batgirls in their march to celebrate them in the last issue of this beloved series.
Are you not entertained?
Well, not that beloved, if nobody bloody bought it.
And also, right, so they're marching against gun control.
How exciting!
I wonder what superhero exploits will be next.
This article was originally- Batman hates guns and Batman doesn't march against gun control yet.
We'll talk about that in a moment.
Also, this article was originally titled, DC Ending 2 Fan Favourite Series.
They're not that fan favourite if nobody bloody bought them.
Yeah.
Anyway, next.
So, we'll see the bastardisation of Tim Drake Robin.
Do you recognise this character on the right by any chance?
Stephanie Brown.
Spoiler!
His long-time girlfriend in the comics, who was a great character of her own right, who had a tragic death as Robin.
And because they realized people complained about the fact that, hang on, Tim Drake's been straight for 30 years because Chuck Dixon wrote some really good comics and they did the will-they-won't-they thing when he was a teenager.
People are annoyed that we threw away decades of continuity because we wanted him bumming someone.
So, how about we put his fan-favourite girlfriend in the comic, who's a good character in her own right, and have all of the words of affirmation for their new relationship just come out of her mouth?
And then you have to accept it, bigger.
It always works.
Every single time.
You just get a fan favourite character to come out, act against the character, and just say, I'm a progressive now, and I appreciate progressive things.
And all of the fans go, well, that settles that then.
Yeah, definitely.
If you make her look like and sound like a babbling idiot in the next panel, if we just go there, she just goes, oh my god, oh my god, I love you so much!
And that's how the comic ends.
And this was, by the way, in Tim Drake's DC Pride.
Hi, I'm so happy to finally meet you.
This is the best day ever.
Yeah.
Oh, that's... Even beyond the context of what's actually going on narrative-wise, that's really awful writing.
Oh, it's appalling, yeah.
But it's not for the story, it's so that if you complain as a long-time fan, random online activists can take this one screenshot of a panel, tweet it back to you and say, see?
Stephanie's okay with it within the continuity!
I really hope the next issue, this is all just a set-up for her villain heel turn, where she comes out and is just...
hates everything.
No, she's in the Batgirls comic as one of the Batgirls marching against gun control.
They've just bastardised every character.
Speaking of which, they've done it to Batman, if we go on to the next one.
Batman's hugging homeless people now because Tim Drake's told him to get out on the streets and decide to be a social worker.
Were these homeless people who were already committing crimes?
They were about to commit crimes because they didn't have enough resources or food to eat or that, so Batman goes around in Batman costume hugging people and handing out food.
No, he would break their legs.
Well, he would just break their legs.
Or he would just go straight after the criminals that are extorting the soup kitchens that stop them from eating, because Batman, and this is my problem- I mean, first he would break their legs and then he would do that.
Possibly.
This is my problem with the Robert Pattinson Batman movie, one of many, is that it ended with, and this is why Batman should operate in the daytime and lead people to hope and basically be a social worker, and it's like, no, Batman punches criminals in the face, it's kind of his job.
I mean, in some of the comic books, Bruce Wayne does do the whole social work stuff.
Bruce Wayne.
Not Batman.
But you know he really prefers breaking people's legs.
Well, his real identity is Batman.
That's why.
Yeah.
He literally punches problems.
Batman's an inherently reactionary hero, and if you do things like this, you just make him look like a gimp.
Right, on to the next one as well.
I also pointed out, when he sent me through that page, I sent him a panel from The Man Who Laughs, where a bunch of escaped people have escaped from Arkham Asylum and they're shooting people up in the streets, and Batman's internal monologue is, I know these people aren't responsible for their own actions, I don't care.
And then it's just him punching them in the face.
He just kicks the mentally ill in the head to keep people safe, and that's why we love him.
Speaking of...
Bisexual retcons.
You know John Kent, Superman, came in?
Well, around the same time that he was introduced as the main Superman, because Superman was exiled to space onto Warworld, they started a new series called Superman Red and Blue.
And this story was written by John Ridley, who was the writer of 12 Years a Slave, and the next Batman that had... Well, the film 12 Years a Slave.
Yes.
And he wrote the next Batman, which was... Oh, of course it was Solomon's bashful book, sorry.
Yeah, it was, what's his name, Lucius Fox's son becomes Batman, so it's Black Batman, right?
He wrote this in Superman Red and Blue, where Superman gets depowered from kryptonite by a dictator and rapes repeatedly.
Didn't Zack Snyder say this almost as a joke of how he would make Batman super dark?
I would have him just raped in prison.
Well, literally the caption says, every day they would restrain me in a way that left me exposed and vulnerable, and every day for eight months they... they did things to me.
They did things to me while I was forced to look at him.
They literally want to engage in the ritual humiliation of your icons so they can displace them with their revolutionary constituencies.
This just comes across like a really heavy-handed attempt at being edgy to me.
Like, really badly.
Well, also, John Ridley wrote The Secret History of the DC Universe, which talks about how every character is oppressed and marginalized because they're black and gay.
Oh, okay.
So I do think this is just a disgrace, what came before, so they can usher in their new utopia.
It's trying to be edgy and it's simultaneously trying to do that as well, so.
Yep.
Hallmarks of a bad writer.
Anyway, is this going to end?
No.
Welcome to DC Pride 2023, which is going to happen all year.
If we can just keep scrolling down, John, so you can see the covers of this stuff, because this is just egregious.
You're going to have to go quicker than that, my friend.
Oh, scrolling is not working properly.
There we go, focus on that.
The internet was trying not to do it.
Harry, what do you think of this cover?
Are you particularly titillated by the woman in the bottom left by any chance?
I'm not particularly interested in buying whatever this is.
No, so the woman in the bottom left who they're obviously trying to make look attractive, do you know who that character might be?
Chun Li, judging by those thighs?
Street fighter?
It's Dreamer from the Supergirl TV show, and Dreamer is a... I never watched it.
...descendant of Dream Girl from the Legion of Superheroes.
Now, Dream Girl's background is that her superpowers only pass through the female members of her family.
This is a trans woman, so it's who they feel inside, and they're also called Dreamer because they're an illegal immigrant.
Okay.
Yeah, so this is the kind of quality content we're getting.
The worst one, if you can go down, John, when we see Nightwing, who is straight, just keep going till I point it out, Nightwing, who's straight, and Tim Drake-Robin, it'll be shortly here, there we go, here we go, on the left, just there.
Oh yeah, you've shown me this.
Yeah, so they're over-sexualizing Nightwing, who is not a gay man, and Tim Drake-Robin is flexing in front of them as they're squatting underneath the Progress Pride flag, and I don't know what weird flag that is.
Is this superhero comics now?
It's just depressing.
I'm not excited by this.
Do you remember when Devon Grayson got cancelled off the book because she had a female assassin rape Nightwing and tried to impregnate herself with her?
Jesus Christ.
Comics are really messed up sometimes.
That storyline got her kicked off of that.
But it's fine, we can sexualise Nightwing in that way.
When he's not up for it.
As long as he's got the right flags above.
Yeah, as long as you are the sexual preference that gets to objectify him, it's A-OK.
Speaking of sexual perversion and preferences, we can go on to this one.
Green Lantern and The Flash are now in a couple, in multiversity, and they're going to be in DC Pride as well.
So, multiverse versions...
The queer romance DC drop.
This is what I always point out, which is they always say, "Can redeem the queer romance DC drop?" These headlines, they always refer to things as if it's something that everybody's been calling for for years and decades.
As if the groundswell of people have just been saying, "We need a queer romance between Green Lantern and The Flash!" or something.
No!
You don't want to know where that ring goes.
Oh.
Anyway, so at least we got Marvel, right?
If you're not a DC fan, and oh dear, okay, Marvel's gay Captain America gets his own solo comic.
Do you know the origin for this Captain America?
His dad kicked him out the house because he didn't accept the fact that he was gay, and so he ran away and lived on the streets.
So his origin story is that he, to survive, Yeah.
I guess you can- What, no, you- oh!
Yep.
This is- okay, that's definitely a ritual humiliation of the Captain America character and what he's supposed to stand for.
That's unabashedly trying to humiliate the character.
Harry, you questioning where he got his super soldier serum from?
Anyway, next, there was also a Luke Cage miniseries, which was mercifully cancelled, but the interview with the writer is eye-opening.
He says that City of Fire was cancelled before it went on sale because he had a conversation with Marvel executives saying, long story short, they sat me down and said, we're cancelling this book, we're afraid the subject matter is going to be damaging for you, we don't want to be attacked by right-wing nuts.
But gay Captain America, that's where the sales are going to be at.
Yes, the sensible centre.
So, Hochey Anderson said, his story drew inspiration from police brutality in George Floyd.
The title's premise was being, what would happen if the mother of George Floyd hired Luke Cage to protect Derek Chauvin?
I can't see why this book got cancelled.
I'd read that, you know, screw it.
I would read that.
Well, Marvel wisely said, this is going to affect our bottom line, so...
Release City of Fire!
Do it, cowards.
The writer says they were really worried that there was going to be some kind of blowback with the Kyle Rittenhouse lovers of the world or whatever, so they chose the cautious route.
It's a shame because I feel we had an opportunity to tell a story that had some relevance and they would have been on the right side of history for being strong enough to tell it.
No.
Let's carry on.
Just to wrap up, I just thought, Ant-Man 3 just totally crashed at the box office recently.
Ant-Man 3 came out?
Yeah, it earned 470 million after six weeks of release.
The production budget was 200 million.
The marketing was at least 100 million.
And so, apparently, it needed more than 600 million to break even.
To break even?
Wait, so we've got 300 million spent that we know of.
Where'd the other... Who cares?
That's a great question.
Someone's a bezzling on the side.
Up someone's nose, I'm sure.
Well, it might be Jonathan Major's rather large nose, because that's the last time he's gonna be in a Marvel movie, apparently, because he was arrested, like Ezra Miller, on strangulation, assault, and harassment charges.
Now, these are still nebulous charges.
These are allegations.
Well, he has been charged.
Oh, okay, alright.
Not great.
It's like, we can't confirm... But his innocence all proven guilty.
Of course, yeah, and his lawyer's coming out and saying that this was just a domestic incident and the woman involved is fabricating the circumstances, though she did have injuries when she was taken into hospital.
So it doesn't look good, at least.
And considering they literally built the entire slate of Phase 5 and 6 around him with the Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, you might have backed the wrong horse here.
So I thought we'd just finish by enjoying the memes.
Alright, yeah, yeah, let's go for it.
Robert Downey Jr.' 's back.
Can we have blackface Robert Downey Jr.
as everybody?
What do you mean, you variants?
Anyway, on to the next one as well.
This is Kevin Feige reacting to the news.
It's the Mark Hamill joker screen.
And then just on to the final one, if we may.
Jonathan Majors just meeting Ezra Miller in prison.
Oh, yeah.
Oh my god, we've got so much in common.
Look at us!
Who expected this?
Not me!
Good old Paul Rudd.
So yeah, it's kind of a clown show, and we can laugh at it, and it's deserved because they hired these cultural vandals, but I for one am just kind of upset that all of my childhood icons are literally being bummed into irrelevancy.
On to the video comments.
While I'm sympathetic to Connor's blow-up-the-mark-statue ideas, the collector in me kind of wants to try and preserve them and throw them all in a giant museum.
These monstrosities provide a great deal of insight into the values of their creators, and you could have an entire curation industry based around just analyzing and presenting the symbology of these things to the public.
And basically just say, these are what these freaks believe!
And, you know, we could have like a museum in every city like we do at the Holocaust museums.
That thing really does look like a slaneshi demon, doesn't it?
Yeah.
The weird woman with the princess leo horns.
It's ritual humiliation.
Yep.
Yep.
Cultural vandalism.
Let's go on to some of the written comments while we've still got five minutes.
Yep.
Well, we can run over very slightly just to get some in.
Lord Crumpets, the Trotskyite cope to distance socialists from the atrocities of the early Soviet Union makes me sick.
Trotsky literally wrote a book called Terrorism and Communism and it was instrumental in the Red Terror and responsible for the first deliberate use of chemical weapons on civilian populations when crushing the Tambov Uprising.
Very interesting.
See mine and Bo's book club on Animal Farm for more on that sort of stuff.
Supreme Duck, despite being 0.001% of the population, X does 1 plus percent of the school shootings.
I mean, we have recently had a string of trans shooters.
I think it's five in total.
Four or five in total, I forget.
Yeah, they've all been very recent.
At the same time as Affirmation has happened, and Hormone Therapy has been widely prescribed.
Are we on the website now?
Yeah, mental health is a major factor here, obviously.
Yeah, well, once again, it seems to me that it lines up perfectly with all of a sudden all of these organisations coming out with their shirts that say trans rights or else with loads of machine guns on it.
Yeah, guns and knives.
I mean, the entirety of trans humor that I've seen that goes on on Twitter and other forums where these people communicate with one another is always, give us our rights or we'll murder you.
And they think it's funny, like for a while they decided that the new symbol for trans rights was going to be the literal embodiment of death from the new Puss in Boots movie for some reason.
I think it's because these people are just You know, sad and pathetic.
So they want something that looks cool and makes them feel edgy to represent them?
I don't know, their sort of cult of self-castration does have a death drive at the root.
You alright there, mate?
Excuse me, sorry.
It's alright, no worries.
Baron Von Warhawk.
Don't feel sorry for the cops who get fireworks and trash thrown at them.
During the 2020 Summer of Love, they sat by and watched as half the nation burned down.
At this point, it's clear that the police are not your friends.
I do agree with that.
They unilaterally enforce the law against people who decide to open their business during the least lethal pandemic I've ever heard of, but if you say a naughty word on the internet they will come and arrest you.
Yeah, it's unsurprising the police don't have much support anymore.
Paul Vorbeck.
They say Christians persecute trans folk, but I only see drag queens at churches and not mosques.
Well, no, you can see them on the roof.
And then very shortly after.
Brandon Thomas, with the anarcho-tyranny taking place in America, I guess the only question that remains is, is it Judge Dredd or Robocop?
Why not both?
I mean, Dredd was the better film.
Not the Sylvester Stallone one.
Oh, I mean, the original Robocop's still a really good film.
Yeah, it's alright.
It's okay.
It's a bit cheesy.
I love that mid-, well, sorry, late 80s blood splatter, blood packs that they have, it's just a great aesthetic.
Oh, with the explosive shotgun, yeah, that's good.
I mean, Dread, as awesome as it was, doesn't have a moment where somebody runs over a puss-filled explodey-man who just bursts into pieces the second the car touches him.
It does have people being drugged and skinned alive and thrown off from a perspective shot at the top of a tower block and then they explode.
Yeah, that is really cool as well.
Yeah, it's good fun.
Sophie Love-Peterson, you know what would get rid of this instantly?
Abolished social welfare.
These kids don't work.
Those who work don't have time for this.
Well yeah, also social welfare that wasn't for single mothers, which wouldn't breed a fatherless society so that black populations and the exponential rise in trans-identifying people without a strong dad in the home Wouldn't be criminal elements, that would just be a sensible thing to do.
The letter M. What percentage of those that do the mass shootings are women?
It is mentioned every now and again, other characteristics of the perpetrators, but never this one.
Surely this wasn't the first, and still hasn't been done by a woman before.
We had the... so, we had... wasn't one the Columbine?
I don't know that much about Columbine personally, other than that apparently it was Marilyn Manson's fault.
Yeah, big doubt.
Then also you had the YouTube shooter, which was for ideological reasons, and she was obviously insane.
And then now you have the trans shooter, who's gonna be hopped up on hormones and testosterone.
There was a statistic recently that showed that trans... So, women that identify as men have a much higher criminal rate than both women and even the men that try to identify as women.
It's because as soon as the testosterone kicks in, it just drives some of them nuts.

So Sophie Liv again says, please just bring on the economic collapse so these people will show their true colours and go to the countries they're actually nostalgic for, which isn't the Anglosphere.
As much as I do want that, if the economic collapse comes, as Dan has pointed out a number of times, it will not be pretty and it will not be good for people on the ground, on the streets.

the The last one then, I suppose, we'll do is... What's up?
Speaking of comics, Harry, I'm enjoying your green arrow goatee.
Oh, cheers!
Thank you.
I'm gonna take a razor to him when he has a nap in the office.
Jesus Christ!
I don't want to wake up with you holding a knife over my throat!
And with that... If I don't appear on the next few podcasts, you know what's happened to me, guys.
Thank you very much for watching.
There's the Cyberpunk Dystopia livestream at 3.30 today, isn't it, John?
Yep, wonderful.
So if you haven't signed up yet, what are you doing?
Go pay us money, please, so you can have fun.
Anyway, thank you very much, Harry.
Until next time, we're back tomorrow at one o'clock.
