Time Text
*intro music* Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters and today I'm joined by Calvin Hello.
And Stelios.
Hello beautiful people.
I love it.
I love it.
And today we're going to be talking about the fact that it's meal the bear, student protest fail compilations, and patient SK killed by the state.
But before we begin I have an announcement to make which is Lads Ao will be tomorrow and we've decided to do what the audience wanted which is Fallout for Lads Ao.
So we'll be talking about the TV show, the games, and Also nuclear war in general?
You know, I still have a Pip-Boy that I haven't opened.
Wait, from the Fallout 4 launch?
Yeah.
You brought one?
No, I was a games journalist at the time.
Oh, really?
They sent me one, yeah, and it's still unboxed in my study.
Maybe I'll bring it down for you guys.
You're doing this tomorrow, aren't you?
Yeah.
I should have bought it today.
It's a phone case though, right?
Like, it's not the... I don't even know!
Oh, you don't know because I'm watching the launch and I'm super excited.
Oh yeah, you can get your own little Pip-Boy and it'll do... Oh, is that what it is?
But no, apparently it's a phone case.
Okay, I'll bring it down next week.
It's a crappy plastic phone case is what I think.
Oh, well the box is nice anyway.
Because the TV show's done so well, not only has it blown up the games again, it's actually kicked Bethesda in the trousers, and now apparently they're building proper Pit Boys.
Really?
That they will be releasing.
Oh, epic.
Who knows?
Maybe they'll Bethesda it and it'll be great.
But anyway, we're going to have a big debate about that tomorrow.
That'll be us.
So that's 3pm UK time tomorrow for that one.
Otherwise, let's begin, I suppose.
So, gentlemen!
If you're alone in the woods, would you rather run into another man or a bear?
Neither.
What?
Well, you've got to pick one.
Is the man going to be hostile?
No, no.
You don't know if the bear's going to be hostile or it's going to be nice.
Which one are you picking?
Alone in the woods.
I don't know, I'd go for DiCaprio mode, Revenant, a bear.
Why?
I don't know, because people are bad.
Generally speaking.
You know a bear's nature, so you can scare a bear off by shouting and presenting yourself as large.
For a man, you don't know their nature.
You're both going bear then?
I think so.
Okay, Jesus Christ, did not expect that.
Anyway, what we're talking about today is entirely this, this being the bear pill.
So if we get this on screen here, this is Miranda, and this is the question that has bubbled up.
Because things like this do on the internet, and they're pointless, but... But fun.
They are fun, and also this one wasn't completely pointless, because it did reveal some... thing.
Which is, as you can see, this lady here.
Vote blue all the way down the ballot, blue wave, LGBTQIA, S, plus, ally, abortion rights, a human right, she, her.
That's her official title, I believe, like the Right Honorable Mentor.
Wow.
Yeah, anyway, she did this tweet and this blew up.
She says, misogynists have been crying over the bear versus man scenario and the vast majority of women have not only stated that they choose the bear, but exactly why they chose the bear.
Right.
Misogynists are the reason women chose the bear, and them whining, crying and becoming aggressive and abusive towards women over it won't change the answer women have given.
I'm sorry, I'm confused already.
Yeah, she, along with a lot of other LGBTQ plus allies... Wait, I'm just gonna shorthand that.
But she's got married in her bio, that's the only non-work thing in there.
Yeah, but you don't know how many people.
Who knows?
You don't know the nature of the marriage.
Ugh, I hate this world.
Carry on.
It's passed around.
Who knows?
No, that's just mean.
I don't know.
So anyway, but the point being that her and a lot of other, I'm just going to say feminists because I feel like it's the best way to sum up this worldview, took the position that basically I'd rather run into a bear because men are going to rape me.
Oh, I see.
That wasn't a consideration on my mind, if I'm honest.
Yeah, to be honest, in my mind I'm thinking the bear could also do that.
It's one of the considerations they're bringing to bear.
But I mean, a man could have a gun, he could have drugs, he could have all kinds of things going on.
Totally unpredictable.
Whereas the bear, you just know a bear.
Or you could be out hiking.
Sure.
Just saying.
Sure.
Let's have a listen to some of this, I suppose.
You can either come across a dangerous wild animal in the woods, or you can come across a bear.
Sorry, it's not funny, and I shouldn't joke.
You can come across either a dangerous wild animal, or someone who's the same species as you, but the opposite gender.
Now imagine that that gender has treated your gender so badly through the years, done the most disgusting, horrible, heinous things to your gender.
Through the years.
And so you actually have to really, genuinely consider your decision.
And not only that, but most of the people who are being asked this question, who are your gender, are actually genuinely leaning towards the dangerous wild animal.
Now imagine that when your gender answers this question en masse, they're all giving the same answer and the same reason for why they would choose the dangerous wild animal.
The gender that has harmed you Over centuries, harmed your gender over centuries.
It's laughing about it, bitching about it, mourning about it, joking about it.
I am genuinely moaning about it because she's annoying.
I don't know what to do with that.
She's speaking as if women are Jews.
They've been oppressed for centuries.
Oh my goodness.
If anything, women were held on a pedestal for centuries until very recently when feminism said, actually, no, women need to become like men and compete in the same world.
Exactly.
I thought the protections were nice, but never mind.
There we are.
Our gender has been oppressed for so long.
Brothers rise up in the class war against men.
What did you choose?
The man.
Why?
Because it's just some guy!
I don't give a crap!
You don't know the nature of the guy!
So, I'll just end off with her real quick.
She goes on to say that she, um, well, if we deal with bears, then they're not going to hurt us because they won't rape us like men do and etc, etc.
And goes on for... I could eat her.
Goes on for ages about how the male collective have caused damage for centuries to the female collective, whereas the bears have not.
Eat both of us, mate.
It is a well-established fact that back in the old days, women required the help of bears to protect themselves against men.
I thought I'd bring it to reality.
Everyone has a theory in their head of what this looks like.
Yes.
An instant thought.
This is what we're talking about.
Okay.
You walk in the woods, you run into some guy.
The chance is it's this kind of guy.
Right.
So you just go, all right, mate, and keep walking.
Right.
That's reality.
That's actually what you're running into the woods.
It's not going to be, you know, Jeffrey Epstein.
Right.
It's just the chance of reality versus running into this.
Just an average bear.
Yeah.
I recount my answer.
Do you actually want to run into a bear?
This is the thing about internet conversations that always gets me is that people never seem to think, what does this really look like?
This is an occasion for glory.
You just want to kill a bear.
No, I want to fight it.
Chuck a horse on you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, you know, find adventure somewhere.
I don't know, it's just glory.
That's it.
An intrinsic value.
All things being equal, I'd be happier fighting a man.
But I don't know that it's going to be equal.
Well, it's definitely not going to be equal with a bear.
I think it's easier to intimidate a bear than it is a wild drug addict with a gun in his hand or, you know.
You know, it's not a wild drug addict.
But you don't know.
It's probably going to be this guy.
I don't know.
If it's that guy, I'm fine.
He doesn't look very fine to me.
Well you think he's actually a secret rapist?
It's suspicious.
He's suspicious.
You know sometimes you never can tell with people.
Some people look really good on the outside and they're not particularly good.
So just by showing me this dude you're not exactly selling it to me.
I really don't think he looks like a rongan.
He looks like a hiker, but maybe they're rongans.
But this guy... What does he have in the bag?
That's the question.
A severed body.
Because a bear doesn't have a bag.
The woman he just ran into and chopped off.
I've seen how quickly bears get scared, though, in these YouTube videos and these clips online.
When they're, you know, in someone's car or hunting for food, they do get scared so easily.
Maybe.
But do you want to take the risk?
Probably not, no.
That's all I'm getting at.
There's more of this, because I did see that this was being portrayed as the bear pill debate.
Right.
There's women and men, and men were like, obviously, not a bear.
We failed that test.
Yeah, and the majority position was that women were saying, oh, I can't stand men, so not the man, it's a bear, because women don't know what statistics are.
Right.
And that's just not reality from what I saw.
What I saw was largely the female accounts that were saying this.
Because most women actually came up on the side of a man.
Why does a woman honor her own in the woods in the first place?
It's a good question, brother.
That's a very good question.
But that makes a good point.
But the people who were overwhelmingly saying, I want the bear, were people like this, like the previous one.
I mean, this is another one where, let's read the right honourable introduction, shall we?
Oh, another Swifty.
Swifty, Stan Club, pro-choice, BLM, LGBTQ ally, alright, that's enough.
That's enough of that.
Where's the 2IA?
She's not an ally with the 2IA, whatever that means.
Let's have a listen to this, I suppose.
This is her reasoning, which is that bears won't rape me, is her argument.
If the bear attack, I won't have to see the bear at family reunions.
The worst thing the bear can do is kill me.
The bear sees me as a human being.
After what those men did to that monitor lizard, The bears are not safe with men either.
What did the men do to the lizard?
There were some Indian men who raped a lizard.
They raped a lizard?
Yeah.
I don't know how.
Did he think it was a reptilian from the moon?
I can't read Indian minds but these rural Indians decided to do that.
And she's clearly read the same story and she came away with it that all men are like this?
There's a deeper issue here though.
All these women are so afraid of men.
Yeah.
They're afraid of being raped more than they are of death, which shows that they don't have a good relationship with men.
Like, they think men are all raping, murdering monsters.
Yeah, we're antagonistic against them, like we're a separate species somehow.
There's some disconnect going on there that's not good.
They're supposed to see us as their providers and protectors and they see us as their enemies.
I mean, sorry.
No, no, it's just a myth of the rape culture.
Right.
I've been in academia for many years and they teach things on the assumption that rape culture exists.
Right.
And that's just not true.
Well, much of the world doesn't have it.
Much of the world does.
Funnily enough, it's not England.
Yeah.
It's not Europe.
It's other places.
Maybe Sweden.
But we'll listen to more of this, I suppose.
The bear doesn't get enjoyment out of it.
The bear didn't pretend to be my friend for months beforehand.
No one will say that I liked the bear attack.
No one will talk about the bear's bright future.
Right, this isn't about the bear, is it?
No.
You've probably been raped, is what I'm guessing, and you had an awful interaction afterwards as well, with people not believing you or something, I guess?
What's this got to do with the bear?
It just didn't have anything to do with the bear debate.
Instead, it was routine.
This debate is opening up some trauma.
Yeah, like this is instead something completely different, and that seems to be the bear pill debate mostly.
It's feminists who either have brought into rape culture or have been the victim of being raped or something.
I don't know.
I don't know any of these people.
Why would I?
But there we are.
That's a sad thing, but it's really weird, though, that someone with such experiences would go on TikTok to make a video about it.
Not these days, because everyone wants to be a victim, and even if she isn't a victim, she'd want to be perceived as one.
I think we have a responsibility as men to have more severe consequences for actual rapists.
We need to make rape less of a threat.
Men who rape women are animals, and they need to be put down like animals.
Yeah.
And then this stupid mentality that she's got would be less of a problem.
What do you do with a mad dog?
You put it down.
Yeah, and that's the same what you should do with rapists, and it's annoying that they don't do that in the West anymore.
But back to the conversation, because there are some people who are not just mad feminists who picked the bear for some reason, and I have to wonder about that, because that was a whole interesting thought.
Like, why would you do that?
I think it's probably, again, a disconnect from reality to some extent, because I assume most people saying that were thinking that the bear would look like this, which...
Look at it!
Yeah, look how cute that is.
Look at that little harmless thing.
No, they're actually the worst.
If you see one like that, you're in trouble.
Really?
Because the mama bear will be nearby and she will be vicious.
Yeah, the mama bear will actually kill you.
Yes.
This, uh, sorry, this footage is just the cutest thing in the world.
It is.
For people listening, little baby bear.
Little baby bear.
It's a dangerous little wild animal.
You know, I didn't know that teddy bears were actually meant to be cute because baby bears were cute.
I thought it was some marketing delusion.
They're meant to be cute, so you just sit there admiring the cuteness like I do and the mama bear comes in.
Exactly.
It's all a psy-op.
It's actually a hunting game by the bears.
But anyway, I learned today that bears are very, very cute when they're babies.
That is actually genuinely the most adorable thing I've seen.
So there's that.
I assume maybe that's some delusions people have.
But then I also thought there were some men picking the bear.
And that's for the right reasons.
Such as this.
So this is Russian reasons for picking the bear.
Look at this guy.
Look at him.
Look at that Putin right there.
There's a man riding a wild bear!
You see?
- You see, we had some Russian blood. - Yeah. - Zara seal.
It's just stupidly funny.
There are a lot, 'cause like you say, there are videos, especially in Russia, 'cause it's Russia, where there are people interacting with bears and it's friendly.
I don't know, this isn't wildlife advice, but it seems to be the case that if you feed a bear, like if you give it food, it'll forget about eating you.
'Cause it's just like, oh, free food.
All it wants is a snack.
They don't seem to be completely stupid animals, though, but they seem to be pretty intelligent.
And even this guy was able to ride it and drink.
Also, normal women did make fun of feminists.
So you see here, Taurus mauled after rolling down window to take a selfie with a bear.
I thought he wanted to be friends, said the victim's friend.
No, no.
Well, I mean, sort of.
He did want to be your friend in the same way that you're friends with the food on your plate.
Some people did take the opportunity of the bear discussion to make jokes.
I choose the bear over the man.
I've seen this before.
It's a great classic.
A new per capita meme dropped as well.
Never defeated.
Yes.
Enjoy.
But then, some people out here were just... I don't know why, they're writing fucking self-criticism sessions on the bare discourses.
Oh, are these the feminist allies?
No, this guy was arguing about why men failed the bear test.
Just stop.
This is the thing about online debates, like, would you love me if I was a worm?
This doesn't require a 10,000 word essay.
No, it does not.
It's just silly.
Get a job.
Yeah, most people were just like, get a life.
Look at that, Karen.
People are out here arguing about women being in a forest with a man versus a bear and posting peer-reviewed sources at each other.
That's a thing.
That's a thing that happened and it made me just confused.
I agree with Liam Marek.
I hate the internet so much.
It's like that.
But this got me interested because someone else made the point that it reminded them of this.
This is Colorado and Colorado decided to have a referendum on whether or not to reintroduce walls.
Into the state.
Right.
So you can see here the blue areas, sorry the green areas, voted for having the walls reintroduced.
The red areas voted for them not being reintroduced.
And obviously you can see a bit of a difference in the, well the vast majority of the land voted red.
Why?
Because they live there, where the walls will be introduced.
The city's said to go ahead.
Well, I decided to look into this because I've just never heard of this thing.
So here's the map.
So this is the proposition.
Blue here being voted for it, not blue being voted against it.
And then you look at a map of the presidential election results.
Oh, wow.
It's pretty much the same thing.
So the Democrats are saying, yeah, bring the wolves in.
Republicans are like, are you sure about that?
I live here.
I don't want to be eaten by wolves.
Because you can see the deep blue is Denver.
Is wolf a euphemism for illegal immigrant?
Having wolves is bear-o-phobic.
Having wolves is bear-o-phobic.
Bear-o-phobic, yeah.
Well, I think we'll reintroduce both, I guess.
Because you can see here, I mean, that's Denver.
That's where I was last week.
Yeah.
You were?
Yeah.
How was it?
It was great.
Loved it.
The city, you could tell it's got a massive democratic influence, but you go up to the Rockies and it's just gorgeous.
It's nature as it should be.
Some deep blue.
Sorry, some deep red.
Yeah.
You go from the blue to the red, you're like, yeah, this is America.
You can see, like, very much it's a divide between the countryside versus the people in the cities.
Like, here's the precinct.
So this is, again, the vote for the wards.
I feel like this is every conversation we have on this podcast, in that the people in the cities are the problem.
Yeah, like I've gone over this many times, but it really is the dividing line between the Anglosphere.
It's less so in other countries that I've looked at, but it's definitely the case in the Anglosphere.
Let's take the votes out of the cities.
Yeah, city versus- You live in the country, you get a vote.
Live in the city, you don't get a vote.
You live too- When your town becomes too densely populated, just no more votes.
Done.
It's over.
Not allowed for that one anymore.
But I decided to go and look this up, because it's weird enough that that's the case, right?
So then I started looking into the campaign, and again, I'm not some expert or anything, I don't live in Colorado, but you can see here, these two districts I've mapped here on Google Earth, so the two districts I've labeled here, one's red for the Republican candidate, one's blue for the Democratic candidate, And the reason I've labelled these two people is because they were the people who were the congressional endorsements for either campaign.
Can you guess who was against bringing in the wolves?
Well, the guy on the left.
Yeah, can you guess who was for bringing in the wolves?
That guy in that little compact area of city right there.
Yeah, it was the woman who represents that bit of Denver.
She wants the wolves in all of this.
And obviously the guy who, well, represents all of this was just like, no.
It's just ridiculous.
But it's such a great example of reality, again.
I feel like it's relevant.
Or lack of reality.
Yeah.
I mean, if you live in the deep city, where you're just like, oh yeah, reintroduce the wolves, why not?
And the thing is, they won.
Oh, they did?
Yeah.
It was like 51% of the vote was for reintroducing the wolves, so the people in the countryside who didn't want the wolves lost.
Imagine that.
They just can get them stuffed.
I know you didn't want it, but too bad.
They should reintroduce the wolves and put them in their city.
Well, it's funny you say that.
The Republicans in Colorado did.
Oh.
So they issued a bill saying, okay, well, we lost the proposition.
Fair enough.
Wolves are getting reintroduced.
But we should narrow the scope of what we're doing so that the wolves should only be reintroduced to areas that voted for having the wolves.
I love these people.
Yeah.
That's common sense right there.
Like, you want the wolves?
You can have the wolves.
We said we didn't want them.
I always enjoy when you see politicians who are just normal people having fun.
Let's make wolves great again.
Exactly.
But they were like, OK, well, you have the bloody wolves, but they can only go where you voted for them, which is the city.
They would only be reintroduced into the city.
Yes.
Which obviously is no, it's not going to do that.
There was actually a provision in there being like, oh, yeah, you can only have them in areas that voted for it.
And also there's no threats to wildlife.
So no.
No.
No reintroduction.
Sadly, the Republicans in Colorado, just checking, they have 29% of the seats in the state Congress, so obviously this didn't pass.
And they're going ahead with reintroducing the wolves.
So I guess we will actually see the bear discourse play out in real time in Colorado.
Ridiculous.
Because they're at the stage of currently doing consultations, and then they'll be going forward with reintroducing them, en masse.
Democrats are such a threat to people.
Yeah, and then, well, the people who don't vote for them.
I mean, literally, this is such a great example of my base wants to reintroduce walls.
What are they going to do?
Well, terrorise the people in the countryside and not my constituents?
Go ahead with it.
Genuinely terrible.
It's wicked.
But there we are.
That's the bear pill.
Excellent.
Tell us which side of the bear pill you're on, I suppose.
I was surprised you both went with bear.
I still go with bear.
Fair enough.
You know, come Alexander.
Live forever.
Take down the bear.
Let's move on.
Right.
If you're interested in working with us, we have some job opportunities on our website.
Feel free to check them.
Right.
So, academia is a weird place.
I've been there for many years.
Sorry to hear that.
And I've seen things that people would definitely believe.
Right, so we are going to talk about some fail compilations, about the recent events at UCLA predominantly, and also Columbia, but mostly we're going to focus on the UCLA, and also some of the fun bits, but also some of the more serious fails.
Here, a meme is born.
Just look.
Chaos in the background and there's this guy standing with a book.
The dog in the room full of fire saying everything's fine.
And we have here a meme is born.
Now, I don't know if that's a win or a fail.
It feels like White Boy Summer to me.
Yeah.
In a weird way.
It seems like, you know, the meme with when Rome was burning, what were you doing?
Yeah.
But on the other hand, it's a bit fun.
He's got a book to read, man.
He's actually doing work.
Have you seen that video of the Asian guy back during 2016?
I can't remember which university it was.
They're all chanting in the library.
Hey, hey, ho, ho, whatever.
And this Asian guy just comes and goes, hey, hey, this is library!
Right, now here we have the fake screaming award.
I think it reminded me of a movie.
You know, you're tearing me apart, Lisa.
It's one of the movies that... You're hurting me!
This does remind me of... You're tearing me apart, Lisa!
this does remind me you're tearing me apart Lisa oh hi Mark yeah fake a scream He's having none of it.
He's having absolutely none of her rubbish.
Yeah, and Josh has a very chaddish comment.
This reminds me of when a toddler won't go to bed when they're supposed to, except this is the behavior of a grown adult.
Yeah, in inverted commas.
Yeah.
Right.
Now, you know academia is a safe space.
We have here drone footage and you can definitely feel free and safe when you're in a place that is shown by drone footage and there isn't the plus symbol in the middle.
So you see here?
They're having combat lessons.
Ollie London says pro-Palestine activists trained how to fight in hand-to-hand combat at UCLA.
That's a useful skill.
I mean, they're paying so much money, or the taxpayer pays so much money.
You want to know how to defend yourself against what at UCLA?
Yeah.
Legitimately against what?
Or are they off to Gaza next week?
Activists are receiving lessons on how to attack Jewish counter protesters.
Whoa.
The drone footage comes after a night of intense clashes and physical violence at UCLA.
So here's how to take down the Jews is essentially what they're saying.
But there's no plus symbol in the drone so it's a safe space.
I don't know what you mean by that.
That it's not going to be bombarded.
Oh, right, right, right.
Yeah, you mean like an Obama drone.
Yeah.
Now, you know how sometimes some people are really scared to cross the road and they want a human shield?
You know, they want someone else to be a sort of like a buffer zone, the first person to be hit by carts, by rogue vehicles that crash on bridge and people.
It says the far-left extremist members, Andino says, of the Gaza incumbent are posting instructions to their members on how to respond when or if the LAPD breaks up their violent occupation.
Whites are told to be human body shields for people of color.
What?
Operation Get Behind the Whitey.
It says here.
Hi, y'all.
We expect a police response by 6 p.m.
in our They know the exact time of the hit?
They have some systems, I don't know, maybe snitches.
Or shortly after.
All intel is pointing towards a sweep.
But there is no need for panic.
Just reasonable caution.
We're no longer differentiating between pink and red.
Individuals previously in the pink zone will now be assuming the same risk as those currently in the yellow.
Due to present circumstances, our zones of risk have shifted and are as follows.
Green.
Yellow.
Sorry, I must say, it's really fun when they're talking about the pink zone.
You know, you're talking in military operations about no man's land and stuff.
Hey, I'm in the queer zone.
We need some backup.
We need some tanks in the queer zone.
They're mincing everywhere.
Police officers, there are thousands of them.
Broken Arrow!
It just won't stop dancing!
Yeah, it says here in the yellow zone, but this is only in the yellow zone because you know there are the white regiments.
Assist with grouping supplies for evacuation.
White and able-bodied individuals form a line barrier around the encampment while black, brown and other people of color will form an inner circle.
What they're saying there is that black people are disabled.
No, no, they're just too precious to risk having killed.
Oh, OK.
You've seen that Onion skit about that?
No.
Back in the Bush years, there was an Onion joke that they weren't going to let gays in the military because they're too precious.
So they can't have our precious gays be killed in combat.
You see, white and able-bodied individuals will form a line barrier around the encampment, while black, brown, and other people of color will form an inner circle within the encampment.
What's the other color?
You've got black people and brown people.
Oh, yellow.
That's why it's the yellow zone.
Don't think it's the yellow zone for this reason.
I think it's the rainbow flag.
It's not a Chinese internment camp.
Right.
OK, here I think we have a double fail.
Okay, so some students, I think that was at Columbia, they did a sit-in, they broke into a building and they sat there and this student here asks for humanitarian aid.
Literally.
From who?
For what?
Let's play this video.
Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who have taken over a building?
First of all, we're saying that they're obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.
To allow it to be brought in?
I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students.
Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you?
If the answer is no, then you should allow basic... I mean, it's crazy to say because we're on an Ivy League campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for.
Like, could people please have a glass of water?
Sorry, you have students from Ivy League universities who break into a building, they occupy it, they're doing a sit-in, and they ask for humanitarian aid.
Oppression Olympics is not just a conspiracy, it's a fact.
We have here some entirely self-obsessed Ivy League students who are actually trying to say that they're on the several Same level of need with people in Gaza.
They're asking for humanitarian aid in Colombia.
And also I want to say that the person behind seems to me to be a bit confused.
Yeah, what's going on there?
What's the Midriff belt?
I hadn't noticed that.
He has the keffiyeh thing, this is called.
And also he shows some belly button here.
I have a feeling he wouldn't have a good time in Gaza.
No.
Queers for Palestine, no.
No.
I do want to wonder though, with the administration, would they send juice boxes and graham crackers?
Because like, if you're going to have people act like children, treat them like children.
I do like graham crackers.
Maybe they would say, you know, you need to take into account those who are lactose intolerant, those who can't eat gluten and stuff.
So humanitarian aid needs to come with all these provisions.
Pack a lunch box before you go and do your sit-in.
I think so.
I don't know.
I think the person behind seems a bit confused.
I don't know if he's realizing that something is going wrong.
I'm all for providing money for these protesters to go to Gaza.
Here we have another average.
That's the same guy.
Pro-Palestine, a Western individual.
I thought that was... I don't know.
It just says best common winds.
That's just midriffs.
Right.
So.
You know, in pop fiction, when John Travolta and Samuel Jackson had the problem and they called Marsellus Wallace and they told him, we need you to come to Tarantino's house and we need, he says, don't worry, I'm bringing in the wolf.
Yes.
Harvey Keitel with his bow tie coming in.
Yeah.
Here, here they're sending the wolf, Lysa Fithian, who is a protest consultant.
What?
What?
Yeah.
So here is her CV.
She's an American activist born in 1961.
She's a political activist and protest consultant.
Amazing.
Could you be a consultant for literally anything these days?
Yeah, of course.
It's great work if you can get it.
I don't know, she is giving suggestions to students about how to handle in the police, how to handle all this, the violence and all this stuff.
And anyway, she has a CV here.
I don't know, people who are planning riots should check her CV.
Anyway, here we have a very interesting, I think this is the greatest individual fail.
The greatest individual fail.
I want us to play this video because I think it shows the absolute confusion that people have who are talking about things in these protests, because it really seems to me that they have a vision.
That makes zero sense.
And they are literally being emotionally manipulated by academics and also other organizations that infiltrate academia.
They appeal to their emotions, they appeal to young people's sense of injustice, which isn't yet formulated well.
And they're trying to make them into activists as opposed to students.
They're trying to turn time, which is the basic good that academia gives students, into an occasion for political activism.
I want us to play this and see what is in people's minds.
They're not terrorists!
They are resistance fighters!
They are freedom fighters!
And they are heroes for a new world.
And as in so many ways, as it is in so many ways, as it shuts down the supply lines of genocide, Yemen is leading the way.
Because Yemen declared Israel and the United States to be terrorist entities and subjected to sanctions.
And so, in so many ways, Yemen and the Yemeni people and the Yemeni workers and government and armed forces and Ansar Allah movement are speaking for all of us when they continue to take action to decolonize the Red Sea and shut down the shipping routes of that genocidal regime.
So I want all of us to not be silent about the resistance, to not be silent about the armed resistance, and to be loud and clear about it.
And to say that it is true that October 7th changed the world, because October 7th not only threw the mask off of these imperialist states who use language of human rights in order to invade countries and depose their leadership and destroy self-determination, because October 7th not only threw the mask off of these imperialist states who use language of human rights in order to invade countries and depose their leadership and destroy self-determination,
And it showed that the people of the region, from Palestine to Lebanon to Iraq to Syria to Iran, to every country and every people in the region,
and all of us around the world are part of an international and all of us around the world are part of an international resistance movement that is on the path to seeing the region free of imperialism and all of our world, a new collective liberation for all Yay!
She is calling for a collective federation in all of humanity while presenting any kind of Western powers in the region as solely responsible for the violence that has ever come from that region.
At the same time she's supporting the violence of October the 7th.
Exactly.
This bingo-winged, fat, young white woman with a shaved head is like, ah, yes, hello, Hamas.
Aren't we the same?
We're in the same fight.
It's like, woman, I would stone you to death.
And people would shed tears over that one.
So that's that.
I'm sorry, but this is Queer as Palestine.
Ah, yes, brother.
One struggle.
It's internalized whiteness.
That's why they're doing this.
So that's why I think that a lot of these students, they just have Marxist sentiments and they're just absolutely fantasizing about this idea of revolution and overthrowing stuff.
And they throw in all these words, collectives of determination, and they view things entirely in a myopic sense, as if if there was no Western influence there, the whole region would be just a free place of collectives of determination.
Well, To this lady, you could actually use your time in academia, if you're a member of academia and you're just transported there by other organizations, to learn some basic stuff about history.
Like, you know, just ancient Mesopotamian cultures there, they weren't exactly peaceful.
Hittites, Sumerians, Assyrians, you know, there's all sorts of Eastern expansionism that you may find helpful to read about at some point.
Just saying, maybe.
Right, so I want to say that there is a very good video by Christian Watson on the Marxist roots of the pro-Palestine protests.
Feel free to check it out, it's very good.
Here, I must say that with Christian I've done a symposium and it was a wonderful discussion.
And he pointed my attention to this.
There is an organization called the National Students for Justice in Palestine, who are talking about their values.
I want you to see what they list their values.
I think we might need to get rid of the dark mode.
So they say, we believe the struggle for a free Palestine is also the struggle for black liberation, gender and sexual freedom, and a livable and sustainable planet.
All pursuits for freedom, justice, and equality are materially connected and require us to struggle against a violence.
Colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism in all of their forms.
It's just silly thinking.
It reminds me of what Biden was saying in one of his speeches, where he always said, well, all of the things are connected.
He was putting all of the anti-things, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, all of these are connected.
Anti-environment, anti-whatever.
It's just, you're supposed to go boo, you're supposed to go hooray.
Zero thinking.
But to be honest, I think these things are connected.
All these things have Marxist roots, right?
From black liberation to gender theory to the sexual revolution.
They're all rooted in liberalism.
And I think even broader than that, I would say they're all works of the enemy.
All of these platforms, all of these protests are about smashing the patriarchy, destroying heteronormativity, which is about breaking down the family and an affront to the ultimate patriarchy as God.
That's what it's all about.
It is literally satanic.
I would say it's not necessarily liberal, but that's for another occasion.
People who are watching this know what I think of the issue.
Right, let's go now to more serious fails that are, I would say, they're just sad.
And they are showing multiple fails in terms of the police, the students, the university authorities, and I would say, ultimately, possibly, the governor and the federal government.
Now, the thing is, it seems to me that I'm taking a very hard line on universities.
These things should not be allowed.
Universities are there for students to learn.
They're not there for activism.
That should not be tolerated.
Pay my tuition.
Yeah, that's it.
And a lot of people there, they are not... It's either their parents that pay or the society that pays.
They're getting student loans.
When you get money from your parents or anyone else to go and study, you should feel grateful for the opportunity that is given to you and use that time to understand the world And actually understand the kind of path of research that you will have to tread upon throughout your whole life rather than being someone who thinks that everything makes sense and you know it and anyone else is a bigoted idiot.
Now, the people who are actually manipulating students into doing this, and also the university authorities and the state authorities that don't intervene, they're actually showing a weakness on the matter.
They're not enforcing the law, and when you're not enforcing the law, there are gaps of law enforcement, there are groups that come in inside, and they come and have maximum requests afterwards.
And this shows I'll tell you what happened here.
There are allegations of a young Jewish woman that was beaten unconscious at UCLA and then there were Californian Jews that mobilized against the pro-Palestine encampment and for many hours there was a kind of clash, mob clash between the two of them.
Now you see here there are just Chaos scenes.
I want to say that this is a huge fail on all parts involved.
This shouldn't happen.
I want to say here that both the university authorities and especially state authorities have the sort of victimhood mentality and they think that they're persecuted.
Why?
That might sound a bit counterintuitive but I'm going to say why.
It seems to me that this is precisely what happens in movies, where, you know, you have someone who has pissed off two different mobs, and they try to survive, and they come up with a plan of putting these two mobs meeting each other, so they fight each other, and the threat gets cancelled, so they are just free of threat.
That's what happens when the state is afraid of enforcing the law.
This is a failure on all parties involved.
This is just anarchy and it shouldn't be tolerated on any side.
Universities are not there for mobs either side.
Here you have all these mobs fighting.
This is unacceptable.
All sides have failed here.
All sides are responsible.
And here we have, at around 3.20 a.m., Anthony Cabeza says the LAPD has successfully cleared the area, separating both functions.
However, overhearing police, their orders are not to arrest anyone or clear the encampment, simply to separate both opposing protest grounds.
And I want to say something about criticizing the police.
There's a difference between state authorities and police officers who are doing their work.
I want to show you one clip here.
Just imagine that you're trying to do your job like a police officer and you have people like that waving umbrellas and stuff, obviously running the risk of getting blind or something.
Why?
Because they're there for a fight.
I mean, you've come to riot shields and helmets.
And that's a tragedy.
These people are trying to do their jobs and their leadership is weak.
And all authorities there, they're just treating them as I don't know.
I would say, you know, the same BS that says the cops are pigs.
I think that's total nonsense.
They're trying to do their job and all of the other people there, they're just trying to just verge a signal.
And what is interesting is that you see all these fights there.
There are also people with phones.
Obviously, we use them to show footage, but it's just completely surreal.
Get the water cannons out.
Yeah.
And anyway, I just want to end with a good note.
So, there were some students at the University of North Carolina, Chable Hill, that protected the flag of their country from people who wanted to remove it.
That is sound.
Yes, that is sound, and I think it's good to end a failed compilation, both funny and bitter and sad, with a win.
And I think that this is good, and I totally agree with Phil that these are the good guys.
But this is, this is, they're self-policing, right?
Because again, the police aren't stepping in, the authorities aren't stepping in.
If you don't have law that's enforced, how do you have law?
You don't have.
You just have an area where mobs are, vigilante mobs are meeting each other, and that leads these mobs to slowly, and sometimes very fastly, being overrun by really antisocial elements.
If they haven't been already, which is a very big if in this case.
Can't help but notice the gender divide as well.
Don't know if you've seen covers from YouTube, but you know, you can see that just that all the frat boys are the only people defending America at this point.
Yes.
All right, let's move on.
Let's go to the last segment, I suppose.
All right, let's have a look.
I think George is going to close that.
There we are.
Before we do, there is a career opportunity at Lotus Eaters.
I believe it's either in Swindon or London, so you've got opportunities there.
Have a look on our website, lotuseaters.com forward slash career dash production dash manager.
Now, this is actually quite a sad one, but it is an important one to discuss.
You may remember from last year, there was a young woman who was known as Patient SK.
In the media we weren't allowed to know her name, we weren't allowed to know the hospital of the story, but the story we were told was that this young girl, I believe we may have known her age at the time, 19, who had a serious illness.
It was a rare mitochondrial disorder and she also caught COVID.
And so she was hospitalized and the doctors said, look, you're dying.
In fact, they said, you are actively dying, which I thought is a strange terminology because of course we're all actively dying.
I don't understand that.
But the doctor said, you're actively dying.
They wanted to put her into palliative care.
They wanted to start the end of life treatment.
Now this young girl, patient SK, said, well, I'm a fighter.
I want to fight to live.
Let me look at what other options are available.
And the NHS said, there are no other options available.
And patient SK's family found an experimental treatment in North America.
They said, oh, amazing.
Let's get her over there.
We can't afford it, but we'll crowdfund.
And the NHS said, no, you're not allowed.
And the family was like, well, what do you mean?
And the NHS took the family to court.
And they said... What?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The NHS was like, no, no, no, you must die.
Yeah.
This is our will that you must die.
We have declared that you must die.
It gets worse.
The family had to get two, was it psychotherapists or psychiatrists, I forget which one it is, but two people that judged her mental capacity.
And they said she is compass mentis, she is sound of mind, she can make her own decisions, she's 19 years old.
And so they presented their case to the court.
The court said to the NHS doctors, what do you think?
And the NHS doctors and their lawyers said, she's clearly delusional.
And they said, why?
And they said, well, because she's not following our advice.
So to not follow the advice of these doctors makes you delusional.
I advise that you die.
Right.
I'm not going to follow that.
You're clearly mentally ill.
These are medical doctors.
These aren't psychiatrists or any kind of people that check your mental capacity.
Is this real?
This is absolutely real.
This sounds like a supervillain.
I know, this is our state.
So they labelled her delusional for wanting to die trying to live and for wanting to go against the orders of her doctors.
So now we have the doctors in the NHS, we have the lawyers and we have the state saying actually yes, she should not be allowed to go further, she is dying.
And she said, this is my wish, I want to die trying to live, we have to try everything.
And the trust said no, you are actively dying.
So then, to make matters worse, the judge put a gagging order on the case so that we weren't allowed to know her name, the hospital that was treating her, we weren't allowed to know any further details.
So we couldn't put the story out there and say there's a patient who needs money to go to America to try and experiment with treatment.
We couldn't even say there's a young girl here who needs praying for, this is her name.
I just find this evil on the side of our state.
So the family were gagged, they were intimidated, we could only refer to her as Patient SK, the Hospital Trust could not be named, but thankfully, oh and we weren't allowed to talk about it in the media, not properly, but thankfully, oops I'm still on the wrong page, sorry about that, thankfully they were announced at a later date.
This was the University Hospitals of Birmingham Trust And as you can see by the title of this headline, we only found out after she was dead.
So she died on the 12th of September following a respiratory and cardiac arrest.
And on the 22nd of September, she was allowed to be named.
So it's only 10 days after she died that we were able to properly put the story out there.
I just think this is not just a great shame on our media, on our judiciary, on our healthcare system, but on all of us.
It makes me absolutely sick.
So she was in hospital for over a year.
There she is.
Sudiksha Dharamalesh.
Now we have someone who is in the care of the state and her parents are saying, well, we are her direct caregivers, we want her to try something new in the state, saying no, because we are responsible.
So it comes down to the conversation of who is ultimately responsible for us and our lives.
So I don't have the right to, of my own volition and own money, go and find experimental treatments if I get a terminal illness?
Not if it undermines what the NHS doctors have said.
To hell with those people!
Well this is what I said when I had my TV show at the time I said look I will break the law I will tell you her name publicly if the parents want the case to get out there let me know I will take that hit.
Unfortunately we didn't get the time because between that announcement and you know she died but it's something that stuck with me and the reason I'm bringing it up now is because there's been further news The family are being fined £8,000.
They're being told to repay benefits that were overpaid.
But then if you look into why the benefits were overpaid, Sadiq Shah's family were on Universal Credits.
And the dad informed, he went out of his way to inform the Department for Work and Pensions that his daughter was in hospital and he received a letter that said the additional amount for a child will not be paid if the child or qualifying persons is temporarily absent from the household for six months or more.
Now of course she was in hospital for over a year.
So because she was out of the household for six months or more, they said, well, we've overpaid you.
That money that we paid you to sustain yourselves and to look after your family isn't owed to you, isn't due to you.
She was in hospital too long to be qualified for this.
And they gave up work to look after this young woman.
And so posthumously this state that killed her is asking for 8,000 pounds back that the family clearly do not have.
Now, Again, the reason I bring it up today is because right now as we are doing this podcast, they are in court.
The family is posthumously filing an appeal in the Court of Appeal.
To say that all of this was absolutely abhorrent, all of it was wrong, and that their lawyers are saying that it was legally impermissible for the court to dismiss the unanimous view of her psychiatric experts and to rely instead on the opinions of intensive care doctors with no expertise in mental health.
So they're saying it's wrong that they killed her off, but I think it's even worse I don't even know what to say.
that they're trying to penalize her family.
The Court of Appeal is to consider the case of the tragic 19-year-old labeled deluded for wanting to die, trying to live.
And this is Sudikshka Dharamalesh.
I don't even know what to say.
I have trouble understanding it because it sounds so weird and bad.
So let me try and summarize and tell me if I got something wrong.
We have someone who has a particular illness and she can't be treated in the UK and she tries to find treatment elsewhere and the NHS doesn't allow her to?
Yeah they found treatment the NHS said no you're not allowed you're not allowed that treatment because we don't offer it.
Yeah well because it was experimental or because the NHS just Because the NHS had deemed her actively dying.
So to allow her to have an experimental treatment would undermine their diagnosis or their prognosis or whatever.
So we actually sacrificed a young girl to the NHS?
To the egos of doctors in the NHS.
But the state backed that up.
That's sinister.
Yeah, that's sinister.
It's really bad with these bureaucracies because the whole rhetoric that supports their existence and funding and continuous maintenance is that, you know, these are here to help you.
Yeah.
These are here to have your back.
But at the end of the day, we see that words matter less than actions.
And we are looking upon a bureaucracy that is much more interested in taking boxes and Just these boxes are more important than what happens.
Yeah.
It's a failed system.
In my opinion, they should have said, look, we don't have anything to treat you.
We don't see any potential.
But if you can find an experiment treatment elsewhere, we will help you get there.
And the media would have been on our side if they hadn't put that gagging order in place as well.
So they could have said, look, here's a crowdfund for this young girl.
She's 19.
She wants to try Give her a shot.
If you say she's dying, let her try at least to live.
Let her fight to live.
And then put it out there.
Let people pray for her.
Let people send some money.
And then let her go to America and try it.
And if it fails, it fails.
But if it doesn't, we're all winners.
Exactly.
And the other part also seems extra sinister.
What did they try to do to her family?
Did they try to They've asked the family for £8,000 back which of course the family don't have because they've taken time off work to care for their daughter and now they're in the grieving process and the government's saying well actually we overpaid you because that only counts if your daughter is in the house and she wasn't in the house because she was in the hospital for 14 months.
Every part of this is wrong.
The judiciary, the Department for Work and Pensions, the benefit system, the judge who said, no we're going to put a gagging order on you, you're not allowed to talk about your own daughter in the public, the daughter herself and said that you're not allowed to mention the hospital you're being treated in.
It's all just wicked.
I don't think the NHS is any longer fit for purpose but this is just one of many of course we've got.
There's people in the chat mentioning the stuff that happened to them that's not the same but obviously just the same kind of utter madness from the National Health Service.
I mean one guy just mentioned earlier that apparently a doctor tried to give his mother an epidural that she was allergic to so his dad threatened to throw the doctor out the window and as a result him and his mum are still alive.
Is what he just said in the chat there.
Obviously, I can't confirm that, but I take it at face value.
There's so many stories like that where you have to fight for the person you love who's in hospital, which makes me fear that if ever someone's in hospital that doesn't have someone there to fight for them, what happens?
It's just not something to be proud of.
Like the service provided, what is it?
We saw a poll the other day, which is the things British people are proud of regarding regards to Britain.
I think the NHS was number one or two still.
It's like, why?
Sorry, but you could get better service elsewhere.
It's nothing, it's just a health service.
It's not... God.
And then there's just the aspect of things like this, which I presume would never happen anywhere else.
But if you have an insurance-based healthcare system for your nation, there would never be a concern where the state comes in and is like, well, your local doctor said you must die.
Yeah.
But if it's a national-run health service, if it's socialist medicine... The incentives are wrong, aren't they?
The state commands you must die.
The state's going to agree with itself.
Right.
It's worse than neglect.
I do believe the state actively killed this young girl Hell, hell But if people are interested This story is happening right now They're in the Court of Appeal right now.
Christianconcern.com has more information.
I believe the hearing started at 10am today in the Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice down at the Strand in London.
What are they going to do?
I know.
Yeah, we shouldn't have killed your daughter.
Whoopsies!
I know.
At the very least, there could be an acknowledgement of guilt, which I think would be good for the parents.
But also, if they win any funds, they might be able to pay the government back the £8,000 they're trying to get out of them.
Amazing.
Oh, good lord.
Yeah.
There's not much to say.
It's just sinister.
It is just sinister.
Sorry to end on a downer.
Alrighty, well, let's go to the video comments, I guess.
Let's do it.
Try not to commit suicide.
So, with the university protests still ongoing, the way how I see it is that the riot is yet again giving up a good opportunity to kick out communists within the university system and start trying to reconquer it.
Yeah, it took all the way to the point where, you know, Jews were basically now a part of the conversation and that was when they finally brought the camels back.
Yeah, I mean, for people who didn't quite understand, I think he's talking about the universities.
The fact that, obviously, now the Jews are being threatened.
The American system is like, well, now something must be done.
Yeah.
Which is annoying, but he's right.
Yeah, it's an opportunity to just keep marching.
The problem there though is that the something that is being done is something to be done for the sake of doing something.
So we saw just today that law that got pushed through in America that essentially makes parts of the Bible illegal because the definition of anti-semitism would make... There's no way it will stand up in the Supreme Court.
For people who don't know, they're making anti-semitism illegal, but then the definition of anti-semitism, whatever you want it to be.
And I think it's also Republicans who did it.
Yes, yes.
Which is just, again, you should never do something for the sake of being seen to be doing something.
One of the other things I saw in there, Matt Welsh has actually retweeted it, he's been like, stupid.
You can't compare any policy of the Israeli state to the Nazis.
Ever.
All time.
So even if they started putting up swastikas for some reason, you still couldn't criticize it, that would be a crime in the United States.
It makes double standards illegal.
I mean, I hate double standards, but to make it illegal is weird.
It says in the legislation that you can't judge Israel by a standard you wouldn't judge another nation by.
I'm like, okay, I mean, that's a decent thing to think, but to put that into legal policy, that's bizarre.
Did you read the top line of that?
So the top line, the number one example of antisemitism, before they get to the other stuff, is that the argument that Israel doesn't have a right to a state, the Jews don't have a right to a state in Israel.
And it's like, yes, and the English have a right to a state in England, which for some reason, that's banned.
But if I say about the Jews, they also shouldn't have a state.
If I want to take the progressive position, that's now banned.
Clearly no one gives a crap about consistency, never mind truth, never mind doing the right thing.
But you are right, if you're in a position of power, use it.
Never let a tragedy go to waste, or an example like this.
A nice gun by the way.
Dan, I thought your and Beau's segment on the moon landing was both interesting and thorough.
Um, I have to say, I think one explanation you missed out on why there's such vitriolic reactions on this topic is that I've never met, like, an actual interesting kook who denies the moon landing.
It's always, like, bottle-blonde, American, kind of SJW types who have, like, such an amateurish view of power that they don't think the regime is capable of anything.
Um, that said, I'm gonna send a couple more Super Chats addressing some of the interesting Alrighty.
I mean, neither of those people are here, I was here, so... I guess... I'll just say I found it nuts.
Me and Dan had spoken off camera beforehand and people were wondering, and he's told me about how he thinks the moon landings might be fake multiple times, and we've gone over the points, and it always got to the point where I'm just like, I don't think you can be convinced, so I'm not gonna bother.
My background is physics.
I did spacecraft design at university.
We worked on the End of Year Project, which was a project actually with someone from NASA, where different people went off to different groups, and we had to come up with different plans of how to achieve a Mars mission that needed to be done.
Basically, they just wanted ideas.
You know, why not?
Easy university students.
Yeah.
So, I just found it mental.
A lot of the arguments, I thought, are on the face of it, insane.
So, that's why I found it weird.
It's one of those that will never die though, is it?
I just don't get why.
9-11 conspiracies, at least there's money to be made, there's power.
In the United States faking a moon landing, and the Russians and the Chinese not to ever... That's the key.
People often say the clincher is that you couldn't get a collective that large keeping a secret for that long, which is true, but also the Russians were literally the enemy at that time, it was a race.
And if the Americans faked it, the Russians would have exposed it.
If you go to Russia as well, they don't talk about the moon landings.
They don't think it's fake.
They don't care.
They talk about Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov.
You know that phrase that we chant at the Germans?
Two world wars and one World Cup.
And then you find out that they don't even remember that World Cup.
We don't care.
That's like the Russians when it comes to the space race, because Americans always like to be like, we got a man on the moon.
And then people talk about, well, the Soviets did the first man in space, first woman in space, first dog in space, whatever else.
In Russia, they just don't even... They're over it.
They just don't care.
It's like, well, we mastered getting into space.
Sure, you were on the moon.
Well done.
Okay.
What'd you find?
Rocks.
But maybe that's just nationalism, I don't know.
There we are.
It's good to have those little chants though, isn't it?
It's good to have something to unite us all.
Two World Wars and one World Cup is quite a good thing.
Repeat after me!
We have armies!
We have Zionists!
We have Zionists!
Who have entered the camp!
You have entered the camp!
Alright, I don't know what to say to that.
Let's go to the next one.
Mr. and Mrs. Toms, your son is- Hamza Yusuf.
Wait!
Son!
Wait!
I mean, he's about as Scottish as you get.
Bums are useless.
Yeah, he's gone.
He is.
Thank goodness for that.
You'll play with another racist Pakistani in the Labour Party.
See the next one.
Ode to Callum.
Thanks Anne, I guess.
Oh, that's sweet. that's sweet.
Thanks, Anne, I guess.
Are you going to rename your Twitter account?
Um, why?
Because you'll no longer be the secretary.
So?
Okay.
Once a secretary, always a secretary.
Okay, fair enough.
Don't really worry about it.
You're going to be publishing content on Britannica 1.
Yeah, so I'm gonna go make videos there, and hopefully it'll be good.
And if they are, stick around.
If they're not, then tell me.
That's the right way to use the internet.
Find out whether or not you're actually doing a good job.
Thank you, Ian.
Let's go to the next one.
The subject of the Hamas rallies, um, I've been seeing a lot of centrists talking about how we need to defend the rights of the protesters on the basis that we would need them later for ourselves, but these are rights that are never afforded to, you know, conservatives or white people anyway, so they're just saying we need to protect the privileges of leftists.
Now, there have been some compelling points about not supporting the regime from Nima Parvini, but that's a separate issue.
He has a fair point.
They don't respect our right to protest.
They don't respect any of our rights, so why do we protect theirs?
I don't have an argument for that right now.
It's a good operation principle.
Let's go to the next one.
Calling in reinforcements!
GG!
Heavy!
Southeast!
100 meters!
Alright, there has to be something over here.
Good game, guys.
Hell yeah, all those samples, man, that was clutch.
Smart players splitting up too, I noticed that.
Yep.
Yep.
For people listening, Russian Garbage Human was playing Helldivers with some African American gentlemen.
You can probably tell by the beeps.
There we are.
This guy's feeling undefeated.
I played with him.
I need to get back into this game.
It was good fun.
Genuinely.
Actually.
Yeah, you were.
John was in the game.
Did you also just listen to the beeps and were like...
Because I've started walking home now.
There's a few stores on the way home.
They've started beeping.
And it's because it used to be a subway.
I don't know if you've seen, actually, or you walk out here, you know the Nigerian place?
Oh, yeah.
Beeps.
You hang around for 30 seconds, you'll hear a beep.
Used to be a subway, never beeped.
Okay.
It's just like, okay, okay, let's just... Is this a wolf whistle?
Does the beep get rid of the certain demographics?
No, no, it tells you that the people there are of a certain demographic.
Oh, I see.
So it seems to be like majority in African-Americans, so the black Americans, because online, like, people...
You know, start making TikToks on their houses and everything else.
Oh yeah, because the fire alarm!
They don't change the fire alarm batteries!
So it's just a beep saying you need to change the fire system, and they don't do it!
And what's really weird is there were loads of these TikToks and stuff, and obviously young people were just like, what?
Why have you got that in your background?
They're like, oh, the hallway makes that noise.
The hallway doesn't make that noise!
They just don't get it.
But there we are.
Let's go to the written comments.
So on the bear question, I know before that.
Sean Steele says don't forget to get out and vote for our boy Nick Buckley today if you're living great in Manchester.
Cast my ballot and only in the electable for the CFL future.
I won't be spotting my ballot.
Yeah.
Vote early, vote often.
I don't think people want my opinion on that right now.
I'm very black belt.
Cap'n Charlie the Beagle says, hey guys, I thought I'd bring a bit of good news to the podcast.
I just found out that I'm going to be a dad!
Oh, congratulations!
Due date is in October.
Although we initially thought it was Christmas, we're over the moon and all happy and healthy.
So yeah, that's fantastic, man.
I think Cap'n Charlie the Beagle's been with us forever.
That's wonderful.
We've got Lotus Eaters families.
Ardent has donated a buckaroo to say Calvin Stelios, no.
Bears, bad.
Men, good.
Callum, check your Twitter messages.
Thank you.
Is he trying to meet us in the woods?
He's sending me his location of the local club.
Mr. Kaufman says, speaking of bears, there was a man in the woods and he started getting chased down by a bear.
The man prayed that the bear became a Christian.
The bear suddenly stopped, does the sign of the cross, and the man hears the bear pray, saying, thank you, Lord, for this food you have provided.
I love that.
That's great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Zachary says, if these women wanted to choose the bear, I deem them acceptable casualties.
Yeah, there's an old saying about bears.
You don't actually have to run faster than bears, but faster than the slowest person in the pack.
That's true.
So just keep fit.
Just run faster than women and feminists and they'll be bingo winning, bingo winging behind you.
No true gentleman would leave a woman behind in that way.
It's in the weakest man to be the food.
Feminists aren't women.
They're non-binary.
Fair enough.
George Happ says that women don't deserve men, or bears for that matter.
If you hate and fear men that much, you really shouldn't have them as a partner.
I don't think they do.
It's just sad, isn't it?
Yeah, these people that fear men that much, I don't think they do have men as partners.
I don't know how you operate in your world.
I mean, there are some men that you see online with that sort of rabid hatred of women.
They do exist.
Yeah.
They're such a marginalized, fringe weirdo.
I mean, no one gives them the time of day.
I mean, you just, whatever.
But when it comes to feminists, I mean, that's the mainstay culture of the worldview.
Yeah.
And they're prominent now.
It's fashionable to hate men.
Colin P says, but has she considered that the bear might be from Baldur's Gate 3?
I assume that's a rape reference.
So, because she was saying she wouldn't get raped by the bear.
But isn't that also what happened to Leonardo DiCaprio?
I don't know.
I must say, I haven't watched it.
Just know he sleeps within the bear.
I think he gets raped by the bear.
I think that's why it was such a joke at the time.
That's grim.
I know.
It's a movie.
It's not real, gladly.
Yeah, I haven't watched it.
I slept, I must say.
But not because it's a bad movie, but because I lately sleep on every movie.
You're becoming a dad.
I'm telling some jokes that people keep telling me they're dad jokes.
Okay.
I know.
I can't remember the last movie I watched, to be honest.
So I'm with you on that.
Yeah, you slept instantly.
Zachary says, all the people that think a bear is preferable should be shown the video of that bloke that filmed bears in America, took his girlfriend and was mauled by a grizzly along with his girlfriend.
The girlfriend was partially eaten alive.
In short, being killed by a bear is not a nice way to go.
Being partially eaten alive is worse than being eaten alive, isn't it?
I think there's, um... It's biological, isn't it?
Of the ways to die, being eaten is probably the most fearful.
Although it's quite a cool way to go.
How'd they die?
They got eaten by a bear.
Is that cool?
It's quite epic.
He's a massive ale!
Yeah, it's like you're not even on the top of the food chain anymore.
What's going on?
You know 40K, you know the Tyranids?
There's a proper human fear in being eaten by bugs or... Oh yeah, oh yeah.
By small things in particular.
Because you can't defend yourself.
Also, with being eaten, generally speaking, even if it's cannibals... Like zombies and stuff.
Yeah, I think it's more natural to be eaten by worms or something.
Yeah, there's something deep, I think, in a human psyche that being eaten is hell.
It's against your survival?
Being shot, being even burned alive, I think probably is not as fearful as being eaten.
I don't know.
Being burned alive is one of the worst.
Anyway, Warlord Wu Tu Tao.
Sure, this is a real name.
Says, I have not seen a single post either choosing the bear or complaining about the bear choice.
Only posts claiming that men are apparently whining that women are choosing the bear.
Yeah, I found some.
I mean, as I mentioned, what I found was just mostly feminists who were like, of course I choose the bear, they wouldn't rape me.
I was like, I don't know about that.
Sophie Love says, look, I'm one of those who lived in a diverse London area for six months and definitely it wasn't safe from the men.
But even I'm not that dumb.
Heck, when I'm threatened by a man, who do I go for protection?
Another man.
Not there.
Sophie gets it.
Someone online says at least their logic is pretty consistent despite relying on entirely the pathos.
Number one, all men are rapists that will rape you if you are left alone with them.
Number two, a bear will kill you but not rape you.
Three, it is better to be dead than to be raped.
Four, the bear is a better choice.
The sad thing is I don't think any of that is true.
I guess they are able to conduct logic, but garbage in, garbage out.
That is also true.
They don't trust men.
However, they trust men who pretend to be women.
over the man are the same ones forcing dudes into girls' locker rooms. - That is also true.
They don't trust men.
However, they trust men who pretend to be women.
- I trust a lying man.
- Okay, guys, DiCaprio wasn't raped by a bear.
Oh, was he not?
Was that a meme?
No, I just asked Google and said he didn't.
Well, not in real life.
I thought in the movie.
No, no, no.
Even in the movie, yeah.
Well, I'll just have to make another movie.
There is clearly no such scene with a bear.
I know, I haven't watched the movie, but yeah.
The last one here on my section is Beggar Hero saying, for the bear vs men question, do you think wild animals are somehow rational beings?
No.
It's madness.
It's genuine madness.
Right.
So, student protests fail.
Lone Wolf gave us a donation from the Super Chat.
Thank you, Lone Wolf.
There's no failure of the university authorities.
This was allowed in the 60s on university campus.
This is exactly the desired outcome.
Chaos is exactly what is desired right now.
I'm talking about a moral failure, and I think that it's clear that there is one.
Now, if they instrumentally Achieved their goal, that's another issue.
JJHW tells me, we haven't spoken in a while.
Stelios, any U.S.
university that takes funds from the U.S.
federal government is required to follow the First Amendment and allow free speech in their shared public places.
Thus, peaceful protest is allowed.
I'm not against that when I was talking about my hardline approach, but it's just that these protests are not peaceful.
Yeah.
I mean, you see just some incredible things in universities.
I'll just share with you one.
And actually, they're quite fun.
So yeah, I wouldn't ban the fun thing.
So I walked into a hall and there was a lady.
She wore clothes.
She was just crawling.
And she had a dude on top of her.
See it on her back.
And he was shouting at her and describing her as a place where people go to swim.
Know what I mean?
No.
Where do people go to and swim?
Swimming baths.
No, to beaches.
Oh, oh.
He was calling her a bitch, basically.
Right.
I was never going to get that!
Anyway, I went there and said, what the hell is going on?
And she stopped me and said, I'm doing protests.
Say, how are you protesting?
I'm showing how men are treating me.
I said, no, you're showing how you're asking men to treat you.
Not everyone asked the way.
You bigot!
And I just laughed and laughed for the next two days.
Arizona Deseret.
Man, I'm glad I finished school before these clowns made it into the universities.
That's a good one.
Bleach Demon.
Marxism.
So inclusive on campuses that history and facts don't matter as much as the resistance.
Good point.
Baron Von Warhawk, I wonder how those global wars on terror vets who spent the last 20 years fighting jihadist terrorists only to find that the new youth are simping for the evil organizations they spent the majority of their lives fighting and the institutions and governments they fought so hard for are now giving the same terrorists all the wealth and daughters of their homelands.
Yeah, I think that must feel really... It's like that video, isn't it, that went viral with this whole group of stupid Gen Z'ers and there's the old guy walking along.
You can just imagine the world wars that he fought in or whatever participation he had in protecting society and these people are all the ones that want to destroy it.
That's where we live right now.
Yeah, and they also are really ageist against old people.
Yeah, no, sorry.
Okay, and they're constantly They feel ingratitude, in a sense.
Yeah.
Just think, to be 20 years old and do all these things and think you know the world, it just goes beyond me.
Brian Tomlinson.
Students at the UCLA have learned their communist subversion well.
Absolutely.
Start with safe spaces for love and end up with attack mobs for hate.
Screwtape lasers.
I think we can check civil unrest during an election year on our 2024 bingo card.
Someone online.
Local terrorist supporters are entitled retards.
In other news, the sky is blue.
Pirate.
Tomsky.
Stelios.
It's called mostly peaceful sunbathing.
That's good.
Omar Awad.
It's one thing to teach gay commie nonsense and make idiots pay for it, but they make it a requirement to complete normal degrees.
I think it would be fun if the left now decided to put leftists talk about all these LGBTQ stuff and they invited George Galloway to talk about it.
I don't know if you saw him on Novara Media.
It's not normal!
It's not wrong!
Why would that generate any controversy?
Untrue.
NAROG.
These people are active traitors and should be dealt with accordingly.
They cheer for the enemies of the West and want the West to suffer.
And for some reason, a lot of people who are leading the West are okay with it.
Yep.
Tragedy.
Screw tape lasers.
We are seeing the next generation of lefty pundits and thought leaders being born now in these college campus temper tantrums.
Absolutely.
I think all these people, they're just gonna take really key positions.
Because sometimes, you know, just being in Ivy League and stuff, it opens up opportunities to you that aren't open otherwise.
It opens up closed doors for the majority of the people.
So we will see some of them.
I'm sure some of them who are speaking in a microphone, they're gonna land up to positions in globalist organizations.
And Andrew Nairog, the people who vote Democrat aren't safe either, as evidenced by inner-city crime and how the Democrats just shrug at it.
I can't say I disagree.
Should we go to the other comments?
Okay.
Yeah we've got some for the patient killed by the state.
Josie Angles donated five dollars to say my son-in-law has been stage four leukemia three times and has flown to London twice for treatment.
They didn't do it for free.
He hasn't stayed in remission yet.
His treatment was experimental and it was covered by grants somewhat but how can they treat an American but not an English girl?
You raise a good question Josie.
I don't have an answer to that.
Ewan Baker says, wow this is so vile and despicable.
Colin Peay said, yet another example of the global death cult.
It is the National Death Service at this point isn't it?
Andrew Narog says, at this point the government is actively maliciously against people.
There certainly must be a place in hell for these devils.
Rue the Day says, I'm sorry, truly sorry to be cursing on Calvin's segment, but what the actual bleep was this?
And we're the insane ones.
We're the delusional ones for believing there for sure is Satan and therefore must be a God.
I mean, yeah, evil is becoming more and more prevalent in that it is enabling people to see they must be a god too.
RussianGarbageHumanRJH says, I had to fight for well over a year to get my brother treatment for an allergy.
Constant back and forth with doctors, administrators, GP, at least 20 emails.
I have the physical printout somewhere coming close to 100 pages.
At least 5,000 to 10,000 words.
That's excluding the medical history.
It should not be this much of a fight to get basic health treatment, healthcare, should it?
Small L Libertarian says, Jesus, force your daughter to die and then fine you for the privilege.
God damn the UK government is evil.
It's hard to disagree, isn't it chaps?
Omar Awad Look, we can't let children undergo experimental treatments willy-nilly, or they might do something silly like fill themselves with hormone blockers or mutilate their genitals.
Yeah Omar, but I don't think it's willy-nilly if you're about to die, right?
I think if you're about to die and there's a potential life-saving treatment that is experimental, I think that's a fair shot.
I know Omar's actually taking the piss there.
They're sitting there being like, I can't do anything experimental.
I see.
You're so on the money, like actual Satanism at this point.
Yeah.
If you're sitting there being like, well, computer says you must die.
Yeah.
Not even computer, my ego.
Yeah.
Sorry, you're not being a human being anymore.
No.
But why are you in this in the first place?
Why are you a doctor?
For the paychecks, probably.
Someone online said socialized medicine is working as intended.
Yeah.
Have you tried death?
I mean, that's what they're doing in Canada, right?
Literally healthcare in Canada is have you tried death?
Michael Brooks says this is the human cost of the lies they tell.
Whomever she was, the person we should all aspire to be.
We are the only ones in control of our souls.
These cases seem only explainable through the lenses of good and evil.
Yep.
But I mean that point though, it's like you're the only one in charge of your soul.
True, of course, like you're the one who can save or kill yourself.
It's true.
But then there is also true that people can stop you.
And that's what's happened though.
The state intervened to stop someone from potentially saving their own life.
And what do you do in those circumstances?
Well, you're being repressed.
So you have to basically see yourself as someone now who's You've got to break the law because what else I mean you I mean you're sort of I don't know if it would have been possible in their circumstances but you know if you're in that circumstance uh I mean someone mentioned in the chat they were saying did the judge take away their passports because I mean you would just flee the country I mean if the country if your national government says we're going to kill you yeah you're dying so you must die now and I'm like well there's an option for me not to die if I do x
No, I don't know in this case if they did or not, but I know in the case of a baby that had a similar instance where the father wanted to take the baby abroad to get treatment, and the NHS said no, the baby's got to die, they did take the passports away.
Yeah, I mean, you're at that point where you've got to find a smuggler.
Yeah.
I mean, you're in a life or death battle with the state, and the state is not a small adversary, but... Well, this is why I said... If you want to live, that's the option.
This isn't a moral law.
This is why I said I'll break that law and announce this on air if it helps, because we have a duty to disobey moral laws.
Yeah, I mean, the UK government repeatedly is doing stuff like this as well.
No respect for anyone.
It's stuff like this that really hurts.
What's the word?
Legitimacy of a state.
When they do a thing like this to a fellow citizen, which then signals to everyone else, you don't have any right for your life.
It belongs to us.
No legitimacy.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to stop bedposting in a minute.
The last one is by Baron Von Warhawk who said that girl was murdered by the state.
Would that experimental treatment work?
We will never know because the NHS saw a girl choking on the ground and instead of allowing someone to perform a new CPR method they stomped on her neck until she stopped breathing.
Meanwhile jihadist bums get first-class treatment in the NHS once they get done grooming your daughters and sleeping in their hotels on your tax dollar.
Are we out of comments?
There's an honourable mention.
Let's go with that.
Chase Ball says all men are rapists until the man is pretending to be a woman.
Women are not okay.
I want to tell the audience something if we have a bit of time.
I saw that some people in the chat last time, I think it was on Monday or Tuesday, I think I saw Sam writing that one of my recent segments scarred him for life.
I want to say I'm doing it for you.
OK, I'm doing it because I love you and all of you.
OK, all of you who found the Spanish guy segment weird.
I did it for you.
You had to know.
This is next level gossip.
You cannot not know it.
And it's just so satisfying when you have leftists telling you every day that you're a bigot.
Because you disagree with anything they say.
It's just so satisfying.
There's a moral satisfaction in showing a Spanish leftist who was in charge there of the Department of Youth and Family just eating what he ate.
Yeah.
So, I'm doing it for you.
I'm thinking about you.
I have your back.
And when you have segments like that, you can always count on me.
Is that really a campaign promise?
Oh god.
I'm just going to read one more comment I found in here.
Someone mentioned, there is one upside to being eaten by a bear, it turns out.
And I don't know about this.
I guess I'll put it in Studio One for you, John.
Because it's certainly something.
It turns out if you get eaten by a bear in North America, you'll be added to a list of people who have been eaten by bears in North America.
It's on Wikipedia.
So someone was posting, it was like, well, at least you live forever, which I'm not advertising.
And also, like, what the hell?
How long is this list?
Let's take this mouse.
I mean, look at the timeline there.
Yeah, that's 2020.
Oh, it's not very long, is it?
It's very long.
That's the 80s, 70s, 60s.
I mean, I can see on the left there, it goes down to 1780.
Oh, can we stop there, John?
I'm just going to go back up a little bit because there's some pictures.
Oh, they captured the moment.
A man wrestling with a train bear, an incision which Yeah, that happens in Russia.
It's bad.
But yeah, it keeps going.
Brown bears, white bears, twenties.
There's not many per year, though.
No.
I mean, presumably, if you do run into a bear, you're not running towards it.
19-year-old male.
So this female... Oh no, she's three years old.
That's awful.
That's a whole family.
Children were gathering flowers near their home when they were attacked.
Memora set up.
Well, this was a cheery!
That defeats your thesis, because clearly the bear didn't get full after one child.
He ate all three.
What was my thesis?
If I have a baby, throw the baby to the bear!
You said feminist!
Human shield!
Well, my hope is that we'll be occupied with the feminist for some time.
I wonder if the cocaine bear's in here or not.
Oh yeah!
I wonder if you could control F for me, John, I'll just type in cocaine.
Did you watch that?
The movie, yeah.
Was it good?
It's stupid, but it was good fun.
Oh, there's no cocaine bear in here.
But apparently it's a real story, like a bear did get a bunch of cocaine and then attacked people.
I can't believe they made a movie out of it.
Yeah, I watched it.
I was watching it with my fiancée.
Did you fall asleep?
No.
That was about 10 months ago or something.
And the cocaine beer, yeah.
I thought it was going to be a relaxed movie, but it wasn't.
And she didn't appreciate it.
Oh dear.
Sorry, I'm just looking at bear deaths now, which is also not cheery, so let's end this there.
After this, I believe we have Common Sense Crusade today, right?
We do.
Yeah, that's it.
You see?
She trusts the bear.
This is what women expect, is what Jon said, which is... She's crazy.
Yeah, that bear there, that's a trick I see often in Russia.
Basically, they clap their hands, so they bring them to sporting events.
You know how you have a flyover of jets in the United States?
They'll line up the team, bring out a bear, and the bear will grab the football and play with it.
You know what would be kick-ass there?
If the bear handed her some money.
She's dancing for the bear and the bear is clapping.
How can you not connect the dots?
Anyway, after this, Common Sense Crusade, I think in 30 minutes, 3pm?
Yes.
3pm, come and join.
Otherwise, thank you and goodbye.
