	The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today, so stay tuned.
	We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
	It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
	Stay tuned guys.
	We'll show you exactly what it looks like when people are going to get you.
	All their environment, all stuff.
	Stay tuned.
	Alright, I'm Alexander Edward.
	And I'm Tony Boswell.
	And we are Minion Death Cult.
	The world is ending.
	Groovy Antifa hippies are responsible.
	We're documenting it.
	We have a guest here with us today, a man by the name of Chad Vigorous, supposedly, from Twitter and from the Discourse podcast.
	How you doing, Chad?
	I'm doing great.
	Thank you for inviting me.
	It's a pleasure.
	I've seen Despicable Me 1 and 3, so I want to say that I'm an expert on all things Minions.
	Okay, yeah, you'll probably do great on this show.
	We'll fill you in on Despicable Me 2 as we go through the episode.
	How are you doing, Tony?
	I'm pretty great, actually.
	I don't miss Seattle, but I miss you.
	By you, I mean Tony who's behind you.
	Tony the Cat behind you.
	You're cool too, but I do miss Tony the Cat.
	I'm good.
	I have to go back to reality at work tomorrow.
	Don't miss Geezer.
	She was missing from that statement.
	I do think that Geezy is partially allergic to me as well, and we won't get into the weird racism that that is.
	I do miss you guys so much.
	Yeah, we all miss you too.
	I was feeding Geezy these pills for these antibiotic pills that are like bigger than the normal pills I give her every day and I was having to like shove two of them down her throat a day and they're they're just gigantic and then it was only like three pills before the cycle was over that I figured out I can just literally throw one of these antibiotic tablets on the floor and she'll gulp it down like a greedy little pig.
	Because they're chewable tablets and so I guess you could just eat them and they're like cat flavored.
	They're like flavored for cats.
	Things are getting real funky on the audio.
	That's tight.
	Oh you cut out during the um the pill the pill cutting part but you're good now.
	Okay yeah because there was nothing about cutting pills and what I said.
	Oh really?
	Yeah.
	I thought you were saying you could just cut the pills in half and that makes it easier.
	No, she eats the pill on her own because she likes it.
	Oh, that's a way better story.
	Yeah, I've been cutting her other pills for years.
	That's what I thought.
	I was like, okay.
	Okay, so today we're talking about a couple topics.
	The first one revolves around a poor, elderly, infirm, frail old man getting beaten nearly to death by Antifa.
	And no, I'm not talking about Andrew Ngo.
	I'm talking about that one white-haired guy with blood all over his face that we've seen online.
	We have a post here from Captain Clay Higgins, who is a congressman from Louisiana, who has some words about what these Antifa members did to this poor old man.
	Should we, yeah, let's just say, so this guy, um, I don't know his name, but, uh, this guy who got beaten up was like a media sensation for having a bloody face.
	Uh, turns out there are photographs of him from right before he got all bloody, uh, advancing on protesters with a collapsible baton.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He looks a lot like Mick Foley ECW days, or like some sweet extreme Japanese wrestler.
	I do have theories that this guy did cut himself.
	I do think these are razor cuts.
	We'll have to ask the fine folks from Wrestlesplania, but I don't know if these are... This looks fake to me.
	I mean, real blood, fake injuries.
	There's a video of him getting hit a bunch.
	There's videos of Mick Foley getting hit a bunch.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Okay.
	So yeah, basically this guy is a proud boy.
	He's a proud man who went to this protest to beat up some protesters with a collapsible baton.
	There's photographs of him.
	The photograph of him advancing is so fucking funny because he's like crouched in stealth mode like it's Metal Gear Solid with his baton in front of him and he's got some sort of tactical fedora on.
	That, like, in whatever light, legit looks like it's made out of, like, ballistic material?
	Yeah, totally.
	It's like a little bulletproof halo.
	Didn't work out very well, though.
	Didn't help him, unfortunately.
	He should've called Otacon.
	You know, spend some time unlocking the stealth suit, some time unlocking the bandana.
	You know, really get his gear set up.
	Yeah, you gotta do those challenges first.
	He was a bit ambitious here.
	You gotta learn how to walk before you can run.
	So, Captain Clay Higgins is a congressman from Louisiana who is a former cop who retired from the force because he was going to be investigated for brutality, basically.
	And he's just one of these, like, MAGA congresspeople who rode the Trump wave into office who likes to post things about a holy war against Islam.
	And, uh, he did a post on this, uh, on this gentleman in question.
	It goes, Antifa thugs viciously beat this elder, which I want to just stop right here, uh, and say, I love the word, like, I love the use of the word elder right here.
	Yeah.
	Like he's, he's a, he's probably like 55.
	If that, he just looks like shit.
	Yeah.
	If this guy is a vet, he's like a veteran of desert storm.
	Um, and B, it just like, yeah, it implies like a wise old elder in my mind, you know?
	Like somebody who you would go to for advice, but when you go to talk to them about life, they just show you a meme about how men aren't men anymore, and it's got a photo of Davey Havoc in it for some reason.
	I think when you say elder it really sort of invokes like Native American like imagery like oh, this is like an elder of the tribe You know medicine man shaman And not like a racist boomer, you know, like that's not really an elder so much as it is just like a cry for help Yeah, or like someone who's been part of the organization for a long time, which if you're a proud boy elder I mean you that that's not really possible because they haven't been around for a long time and
	Um, yeah, I love for my elders to wear, uh, cargo shorts and a leather fedora and, like, a button-up plaid short-sleeve shirt.
	Antifa thugs viciously beat this elder.
	The left is so cool, man.
	Groovy.
	Like, out of sight.
	They're such peaceful hippies.
	Virtual flower children.
	And, uh... Yeah, I just think, like, aside from the fascism and the racism and all that, just, like, this sentence alone should disqualify you from being a political figure.
	And it's like, where the fuck does this come from?
	No one is calling Antifa, like, hippies.
	No one is saying that they're peaceful.
	They're, like, an expressly militant movement.
	There is that one, you know, notorious image of the Antifa member placing a flower into the muzzle of the AR-15 held by the Proud Boy.
	Well, I mean, I think there does exist this, like, weird dual narrative about, like, the left, that they're both incredibly peaceful, like, a la hippies, and a la, like, the bastardized version of, like, Martin Luther King Jr., but also, like, they're incredibly violent.
	And like if neither are really true obviously the left is encompasses all like a wide variety of political sex would have that have multiple tendencies when it comes to like political organizing and activism but like The left is a bunch of pussyfied soy boys.
	They don't know how to be real men.
	We're out here hunting and fishing and cleaning our guns.
	And the next day they're online crying about how they were hit with a milkshake.
	They're very inconsistent in a way that you would think that if the media was being or if the if if they had any shame or self-reflection you would imagine they would feel bad about being like constantly wavering back and forth between like the strongman archetype and like the aggrieved victim of purple-haired college women college-age women but like they really feel no irony or no hypocrisy there it's like it's a constant like sort of
	You know, men aren't men anymore, but then when they get confronted with even the most minor physical resistance, they like fucking crumble under the weight of it.
	Well, it's just political opportunism, you know.
	I don't think it's like a greater hypocrisy than any sort of, I don't know, loose ideology contains.
	It's just whatever's politically expedient for the moment.
	If playing the victim is going to get you on Fox News, then that's what you'll do.
	If playing the tough guy is going to get you shares on Facebook, that's what you're going to do.
	Even if you're bedridden in a nursing home somewhere.
	The consistency isn't as important as you would want it to be.
	Well, I mean the consistency is there insofar that the far right, well not even the far right, but like the one consistent through line that defines the right in America is just like this complex victim mentality.
	It's like if you want to sort of understand, I would argue, like what makes your Mike Cernovich's and your Ben Shapiro's and your Proud Boys and your like Steve King's and your Like, you know, and you're Donald Trump's, like, all part of the exact same party.
	It's this, like, deep, deep victim complex that is largely defined by, like, this imaginary grievance with the, like, the world no longer being, or rather, like, the traditional values of the world, like masculinity and, uh, how'd you call it?
	And, uh, you know, traditional family values.
	Meritocracy.
	Meritocracy.
	They're all under assault.
	Who are they under assault by?
	Well, you know like women black people choose like, you know, like that's really what like unites them all and like everything else that they sort of use as like, you know, uh, Everything else like everything else is just fluff.
	Like all the other stuff is just like fluffing like into bullshit I mean, yeah, that's accurate.
	You know, it's a victim mentality that gins them up to the acts of violence that we've seen.
	You know, the victim being a victim of immigration.
	It's the victimhood status that, you know, takes them to, like, crying piss on Twitter or Fox News or whatever.
	So I think that that's fairly accurate.
	This post keeps going.
	Antifa, you and your cowardly lot, be advised.
	You show up with violence like this at one of my gatherings, you will go to jail with severe injuries.
	It will not end well for you, son.
	Won't work out the way you're thinking.
	You won't walk right again.
	You won't talk right again.
	As if these guys talked right anyway, you know.
	You might not walk away at all.
	Bunch of anti-freedom cowards.
	Real American patriots await your masked asshat presence.
	Don't like this?
	I'm easy to find.
	Higgins out.
	This motherfucker actually said Higgins out.
	I mean that's the fucking best part no irony there just straight up just like Higgins out and people like I think when he pressed enter he heard applause in the background That was his mic drop moment.
	He was like he expected everybody like oh shit like he laid down the gauntlet at the same time I do like the way he said gathering cuz it made me think of juggalos like I Captain Clay Higgins is a big proponent of the gathering of the Juggalos.
	And if Antifa shows up at the gathering of the Juggalos this year, we're going to have a problem.
	This motherfucker wishes he could bring out as many people as ICP.
	Crazy Jay.
	Crazy Jay?
	Just real quick, just real quick.
	I might be speaking out of turn here, but this is a pro-Juggalo podcast.
	Juggalos are good people.
	They've never done anything bad to anybody.
	The worst thing they've done, and it's a great thing, is probably fight straight edge dudes.
	So, yeah, we're a pro-Juggalo podcast.
	I don't want to, I don't want to put them, I don't want to clump them together with Captain Clay Higgins.
	I mean, we do say that, I mean, we do have to admit that Juggalos are a terrorist organization, but that's good.
	Yes.
	That's good.
	We like that.
	Yes.
	Whoop whoop, family.
	Shoutouts to all my juggalos and my juggalos.
	It's a term of endearment in this moment.
	One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
	It's important to remember that when you're critiquing the juggalos.
	That's true.
	That's true.
	They're simply following in the footprints of the Black Panther Party, you know Crazy Jay is the modern-day Malcolm X. You can you can never convince me that he's not that's why he's in whiteface to uh to To uh to as a critique of the white man's the white man's game Yeah, the most racist thing we have done is really push grape soda.
	I Wouldn't call Faygo soda, but okay.
	I Hey, this is kind of an aside, but Chad, what are you... Do you have any thoughts on the word terrorist?
	Because I... Whenever I see, you know, these right-wing political acts of violence, there's a rush, you know, in the lib, or sometimes the left spheres of the internet, to say, you know, why are we labeling this terrorism, etc.
	But half of me is like, Just aware of the word terrorism being, like, it's good that that word has power for the government, you know?
	It's good for them to keep that word in a powerful sort of, uh...
	State of propaganda.
	Is it playing into the hands of the government to push the usage of the word terrorist?
	I mean more specifically domestic terrorism.
	So basically my question is do you think that the left should be calling for the discourse in this country to include right-wing acts of terror in the conversation about terrorism?
	Or, as I suspect, would that only fuel the narrative around domestic terrorism itself as a threat that serves the purposes of the U.S.
	government in its security state, surveillance state?
	Well, I say, so I agree with you halfway, and I sort of, I see what you're, sorry for not answering your question, but I see where you're coming from.
	And I think that you're right, right?
	I think that there is this very weird emphasis or belief that, like, if we can just get the language correct, then we can solve the problem.
	Like, all it's going to take for the government to, you know, to clamp down on Proud Boys or any number of, like, analogous or worse right-wing terrorist organizations is for them to correctly, or rather for people to, you know, decide that, yes, they are terrorists.
	But I think that, you know, the fact that people don't identify them as terrorists is more of a symptom, not a cause, right?
	It's like, it's a symptom of the problem, which is that, like, certain populations are, you know, are immunized from the ability to commit terrorist attacks.
	And that simply, you know, calling them terrorists or getting the police or the FBI or CIA to admit openly that they're terrorists is going to solve the problem.
	People are going to like suddenly come out and like, you know, take to the streets to march against Proud Boys is not necessarily reasonable.
	People are going to, like, suddenly come out and, like, you know, take to the streets to march against Proud Boys is not necessarily reasonable.
	I think that a lot more reasonable is that you'd see like, OK, well, we're going to start a task force to clamp down on, you know, quote unquote, domestic terrorism.
	I think that a lot more reasonable is that you'd see, like, okay, well, we're going to start a task force to clamp down on, you know, quote-unquote And that simply, you know, calling them terrorists or getting the getting the police or the FBI or CIA to admit openly that they're terrorists is going to solve the problem.
	You know, using these examples as, you know, of like various right wing terrorist attacks as like this broad scale kind of like centrist pro institution, pro institution legislation to attack both far right and far left pro institution legislation to attack both far right and far left Right.
	Because I think that there is you said there is this definite existence of this, you know, asymmetrical identification of like far left attacks, far left violence as terrorism or Islamic terrorism as terrorism and far right or white terrorism.
	That's like whatever anomalous incidents that occur, you know, apolitical and unidentifiable.
	But, you know.
	The next thing that happens occasionally is like this false parody between like far-left terrorism or rather far-left violence Although because it far-left terrorism doesn't really exist anymore in this country Like the last time we had like a far-left terrorist group was like the weather underground.
	Really?
	Yeah, if you think about it Yeah, you know that that was what 30 40 years ago now and so like we don't really have far-left terrorism in this country despite what the media wants to believe or say and so like the existence of like A terrorist task force, you know from the FBI or CIA, you know, that's just know what?
	Carceral social justice like we can't like we can't subscribe to the belief that the prison Industrial complex the military industrial complex like the police are going to be like the vehicle through which We've reached any kind of parity or equality in this country because they've shown themselves that even if they Ostensibly at the legislative level go.
	Hey, we're gonna tackle far-right terror.
	We're gonna tackle all forms of terror equally It just simply isn't enacted that way.
	Yeah, even if they're mandated to attempt to do that, those institutions are still made up of individual people who are far right leaning themselves.
	And they would have to be proactively searching out these groups and really care about prosecuting them or whatever, which, yeah, I don't think would happen.
	I just think us, like... I don't see a lot of leftists do it, but I see a lot of libs do it.
	You know, clamoring to get, you know, these far-right organizations labeled as acts of terror, like, you know, the militias in Oregon that just...
	prevented a vote from happening on that climate change bill that was going across.
	Obviously an act of terror, but it's a moot point to try and have a fight over the language when the reality is hitting us over the head regardless.
	And the bottom line is the most successful and active terrorist group in America is the police force.
	There would have to be some sort of acknowledgement of that before you even move forward.
	I have one other post here from Captain Clay Higgins that's a totally different topic.
	We're going to get into comments on the Antifa Hippies post, but this other post from Clay Higgins was just too good to pass up.
	Also, by the way, I should say, every one of his posts is done in sort of this, like, free verse type, uh, free verse format, where there's just, like, weird indentations throughout the whole thing.
	Um, I don't know how this happens.
	I don't want to say it, but like I think that maybe he is like trying to become a rapper You know, you don't you don't really see it anymore.
	But like I want to say mid-2000s It was very popular for rappers to like state their name before after their verses so people like know like, you know Especially on a feature like you you get a lot of two chains And so I think that, you know, like his Higgins out is his version of that where it's like, you know He wants to remind people who he who are reading his post because obviously his name that's at the top of his post Like, you know, do you start the post like Clay Higgins?
	Bunch of shit in like free verse prose, you know, maybe it's a little bit of a beat to it at the end of it He reminds you of like like whose post it is very very mid-2000s rapper I could definitely see him like on a track with like I don't know Nelly maybe maybe ludicrous No.
	Maybe Young Dro, if you're going to do a deep cut.
	There's something very ad-libby about it, for sure.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, Paul Wall.
	Paul Wall for sure.
	Yeah.
	And if you're trying to get that Latino vote, then Chingo Bling.
	This is like, it's one of these weird, uh... I don't know, it's gotta be a boomer thing.
	But instead of just ellipses everywhere, like, there's only three sets of ellipses in this whole post, but it's just line break after line break, two-space indentation, three-space indentation, like, it's almost like one of those...
	word pictorials where if you look at like all the line breaks it looks like a kitty cat or something like it's yeah it's very interesting the second post is uh formatted much the same way it has uh it goes my son joseph period line break double space 27 years old this week period line break double space a solid cop
	an investigator period a patriot period a line break no no space constitutionalist period a christian principled man line break two space i'm so proud of him real quick i just hate redundancies You know, you could have just had a cop and we would have known the rest of it.
	An investigator, a patriot, a constitutionalist, a Christian principled man.
	We would have known that if you just said cop.
	But go ahead.
	He's a solid cop, too.
	If you've seen a picture of him, he's like real solid.
	Just two comments.
	I just want to say, what we don't know is whether or not he has those Blue Lives Matter shoes, which I think is what everyone's wondering.
	Like, does he own the Blue Lives Matter sneakers?
	And two, as a fan of Madlib and other rappers with unconventional rap schemes, I think that this really speaks to me.
	This is definitely a Madlib or Earl Sweatshirt-type rhyme scheme, and I appreciate that.
	But please go ahead.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, yeah, it's interesting to look at.
	Yesterday, I'm so proud of him.
	Line break, double space.
	Yesterday, he had his new stove delivered, period.
	To his line break own home, comma, his own paid for home, period.
	Line break, double space.
	A stove, dot, dot, dot.
	Not an Xbox, period.
	Line break, double space.
	This young man will be a great husband and father.
	I just want to say this is violence against gamers.
	This is targeted harassment against gamers.
	Why did they have to get brought into this?
	Good.
	This is the only good part of his posts.
	Men should be in the kitchen, not in the man cave gaming.
	His son should make me a sandwich.
	Well, I paid while I play Nintendo switch, maybe he is not about anti-gamer He could just be like his his son is a proud PC gamer.
	His son, you know Yeah, he has a stove and he has a fucking $3,000 gaming rig not like he's not you know, he's not a soy boy running Nintendo switch You can't get, like, a custom rig delivered in one shot.
	That's multiple deliveries.
	Like, also, you're fucking high if you think your 27-year-old cop does not own a PlayStation or an Xbox and does not play, like, Call of Duty.
	You're fucking high.
	I don't know.
	You don't need to play Call of Duty when you get paid to kill people in real life.
	Yeah, yeah, but I mean, how do you really train like that's this VR training, you know No, no, it's no offense to anybody.
	That's that's a really shitty stove.
	That's looks like a really cheap stove Yeah, it is a really cheap stuff, you know shitty fit dude Don't like don't you know that you try to style on people with your like a bullshit Costco $200 stove, you know like mail-order catalog shit, you know So come back to me when you have something like nice like do something with a with a built-in griddle or some shit Yeah, this is the stove that your landlord gets you when they're obligated to get you a stove.
	I don't get that, like, what is a stove anyway?
	Is it like some sort of VR peripheral that lets you cook meals in Animal Crossing?
	Like, I don't understand what this is.
	What do you do with that?
	You like move your hands over it like you're cooking?
	That's the stove he uses to make the crack that he disseminates into the black community.
	Which is what the police are known for.
	It's like bespoke, homegrown, like, artisanal crack.
	I don't know, this is just like the weirdest, like, most try-hard post ever.
	Like, dressing up the most basic shit as somehow honorable.
	Like, instead of buying an Xbox today, you know what I bought?
	Groceries.
	Not to be problematic, but he's obviously trying to find his, like, his son a wife with this post.
	He's just like, in ladies, he's single.
	He's yeah, he's not the kind of guy who's gonna be you're gonna you know you're gonna come home from your job That's like a nurse or something like you know some sort of basic white person shit and like he's playing Xbox and being a gamer like this is a single Christian principled constitutionalist patriot investigator Fucking scientist American He he like he he buys stoves not fucking I don't know Call of Duty's black ops 7
	He has a stove ready for you to use.
	Joke's on Captain Clay Higgins because his son just bought this stove so he could boil the gamer girl water before drinking it so he didn't get sick like that other guy.
	You have to eat E. coli, honestly.
	I don't want to fucking tell anyone how to live their lives.
	If you want to get E. coli from drinking some chick's ass juice, that's up to you.
	But you definitely shouldn't drink gamer water.
	You shouldn't drink anyone's bath water, dude.
	I don't want to kink shame anybody.
	That's just like, well, I guess boil it first.
	Yeah, on your stove.
	No, no.
	Okay, also, this might seem rude or presumptuous, but if you're going to drink someone's bath water, you might as well just drink their piss.
	You are one standard deviation from being a piss pig, and you're doing it anyway because she definitely pisses in that bathwater, so really just lie to yourself.
	She wasn't selling the piss though, so you have to drink the bathwater.
	Obviously the piss is up sale.
	She's really just trying to like, I don't know, she's trying to soften.
	Test the water.
	She's essentially trying to.
	She's testing the water, you know, not to make a pun, but she's definitely working them up to it.
	It's like, you started off drinking my bath water, but now you can drink it straight from the source.
	Listen, you already humiliated yourself.
	What's another step?
	It's like any good ingredient, though.
	You want it straight from the source.
	You don't want it shipped across the country from you.
	It probably wasn't shipped in dry ice.
	It probably wasn't preserved nicely.
	It's like anything.
	You want it straight from the source.
	When you get the ash, you gotta get it straight from it.
	That's the only way to get... I saw that on Bon Appetit, the Bon Appetit test kitchen.
	They were straight from the ash.
	You don't want this jarred and shipped to you.
	Yeah, you don't want your Gamer Girl water stepped on by filtering it through a bathtub.
	You just want to filter through her via piss.
	I don't know.
	How's he gonna get a gamer girl without an Xbox though, you know?
	I'm gonna post a picture of me pumping gas or like mowing my lawn in order to shame the gamers.
	It's such a weird shoe horn.
	My son bought a stove.
	He could have been buying some Tide Pods to eat them, but he buys Tide Pods to wash his clothes with.
	I'm very much waiting for like because I'm a big fan of Lifetime movies But they tend to be they tend to run a few moral panics behind society and the modern news cycle And so like I'm waiting with bated breath for like 2020 for the first like Tide Pod You know moral panic Lifetime movie.
	Yeah, like it's not Tide Pod like Skittles parties remember when they would remember when that was the thing for like two days when like parents were afraid that they're like their kids were like taking all the pills in the cabinets like put in one big bowl and And like yeah, take out a party which again you would never do like it's much like it's much easier Just just get like fucking Molly that it is to like like roll the dice like oh, is this Molly?
	Is this a percocet?
	Is this a Vicodin?
	Is it you know?
	Is it a handle accident?
	Is it a laxative or a handful of modium like like who wants to fucking end up like having sick some sort of like cray?
	poor man speedball where you take to a modium and one fucking laxative and see which one works the best and That's not really, that's not really a thing that teenagers want to do, but that's, you know, again, I don't want to, I don't want to yuck anyone's yum.
	Yeah, let him be scared of that.
	Okay, back to the Antifa post.
	We got some comments here.
	Bill McBride says, the silent majority will only remain silent for so long.
	1776 2.0.
	1776 2.0.
	God bless America.
	Uh, Jimmy Stewart replies, "Bill McBride, you are right up, you are right.
	These fools are going to wake up a sleeping lion one day.
	And then Carrie Bear replies, Jimmy Stewart, the lion has been awakened.
	It's just stretching before the prowl.
	Like, I love this so much.
	These fucking metaphors, they think they're so goddamn poetic.
	I love the extended metaphor, yeah.
	Like, right now the lion is just wiping the sleep from its eyes.
	It's getting ready.
	First of all, the silent majority never seems to shut the fuck up.
	Every four days, or rather, every four minutes, every time I post, I get someone in my fucking mentions talking about how the silent majority is this or that.
	Maybe they should just be silent then.
	I will say, these people have the most boomer names.
	Bill McBride is almost too on the nose for a reactionary boomer name.
	Yeah, that's a blue-collar comedy tour name for sure.
	Like, if I were writing, like, an erotic fan fiction, like an erotic slash fiction with, like, the blue-collar comedy toy, like, to a tour where, like, Larry the Cable Guy meets his biggest fan and, like, gives him a handy, like, that guy's name would be Bill McBride.
	100%.
	For sure.
	For sure.
	Yeah, I love the silent—like you said, they go on and on about the silent majority.
	I can't wait till, like, the day we get an unironic comment, somebody calling themselves silent but deadly.
	I'm just picturing crop dusting but with Zyklon B instead of the other kind of gas.
	One day.
	Also, 1776, what are you going to do?
	Are we going to Brexit Brexit?
	What are you talking about?
	Like that's what, that's 1776.2.0 is, you know, that. But like, what are we going to have a revolutionary war? Are you going to, like, free ourselves from Britain one more time?
	Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
	Yeah, you're gonna revolt against the people who don't have any power.
	There is this very weird section of the far right who is constantly preparing themselves for the second civil war.
	They spend all their time, again, this weird dual mentality behind them.
	They're super patriots, but also they are 100% constantly waiting for the police to start to round up their guns and they're prepared to shoot the police.
	It's like I mean which they really are but like all they do is talk about like the second civil war is gonna be like them and their like army of like overweight over like under like undernourished uh anti-gamer uh boomers and like versus like antifa leftist hippie hippie fucking super soldiers but they're 100% sure that despite the fact that they can barely even masturbate without getting winded that they're gonna beat they're gonna beat all these young college kids
	Well, the ironic part is that, yes, they're clamoring for a civil war.
	Yes, they're crying about, like, government overreach or fascism, whatever they think fascism is, etc.
	But they also both, like, subconsciously and, you know, hyper-consciously, overtly know that the cops and the institutions, for the most part, are on their side.
	At least in terms of when it comes to, like, Law and order or like morality policing and that sort of things the thing the culture war like the culture war with it They actually care about not the class war that they're completely unaware of But in terms of like the culture war which is the civil war that they're talking about like they they know Rightfully that the cops will be on their side and that the military will be on their side so it will just be a civil war that consists of like shooting protesters, which is what they want and
	Well, I mean, I think that you're 100% right there.
	That's the weird part about watching the mainstream right, especially the mainstream, extremely online right, and their weird victim complex.
	I think that when you're on the left, it's very, very clear that the right, in some shape or form, run the entirety of America.
	They have the presidency.
	The Democratic Party is largely, I would consider, from my standpoint, to be conservative.
	But really like this culture war thing the fact that they more or less like the far right ostensibly symbolically lost the culture war and by and by that I mean like
	You know like most Hollywood movies are like more or less like they'll cast a black person in a role You can't say the n-word in public You know like any part of like, you know Like women are allowed to be in the workplace and they know and they can you know in like in sexual harassment is identified as a real thing now like those are the things that they focus on as like their as evidence that their power has waned that society is collapsing but like From the far left.
	It's I think it seems weird where it's like a the things that you're identifying Hollywood college campuses that are so, you know in liberal professors Those are also conservative just not as conservative as you'd like it They're just not as an overtly conservative and but I mean overtly racist and misogynist.
	Yeah, but like, you know
	Even if we admit that they're like they're left-leaning you control like all of the like the actual militaristic in power elements of society like economic in like Economics, you know, you know the military the police like those are all right-wing organizations Explicitly both like in terms of like their institutional prerogatives and also like their membership are right-wing but you're hyper focused on like a campus protest and like a small liberal arts college in fucking Delaware for some reason and
	Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, they're on the offensive, but they're, like, you know, playing like they're on the defense, which I guess motivates their base even further.
	Yeah.
	But I just love this extended metaphor of the lion continuing to wake up.
	The sleeping dragon, the sleeping lion, the sleeping giant.
	Like, oh, you thought it woke up in 2016, but really it was just rolling over in its sleep.
	And it's getting ready to wake up.
	The lion's mother is saying, oh, it was just a bad dream, honey.
	Go back to bed.
	But then the lion realizes it's not a dream.
	And he's about to get out from under the covers and handle some bit like...
	And you know what?
	Fuck them.
	You don't get to just take lions.
	Lion appropriation has been around for a long time.
	And you know what?
	Lions are not white.
	Straight up.
	They're in Africa.
	That's bullshit.
	Yeah, they're in Africa.
	Fuck Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
	Both him and Matthew Broderick.
	Yeah, the only lion that mattered wasn't Earl Jones, wasn't he one of them?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the only real lion.
	That's the only real lion.
	You don't get to be no fucking lion.
	Fuck out of here.
	The far right loves its terrible metaphors.
	I don't know why.
	It's like the lion is laying in bed.
	It's pretending to go back to sleep, but it has to piss.
	So it's really just laying there, seeing how long it can hold its bladder before it's forced to get up and go to the bathroom and break its sleep.
	And you better watch out when it finally gets up and takes- has that piss boner.
	Because it's gonna pee all over the back of the seat, and that seat is liberalism.
	You're like, what?
	It's like, what the fuck are you talking about?
	It's like, I think you lost me with the li- like, wait, what does the lion represent again?
	It's like, I'm sorry.
	The lion is- I mean, you guys know about, like, the lion party, right?
	Is that like a key party, but like an eyes wide shut type thing?
	Again, we've been doing a lot of kink shaming this episode.
	I don't want to get in trouble.
	First of all, you've been doing all the kink shaming.
	Wow!
	Second of all, I'm an avid piss pig, so I didn't want to bring it up.
	Frankly, the only way gamers are going to get near bathwater is if it's some chick's bathwater.
	Um, no, the lion party is like, uh, the suggested third party for Trump Republicans.
	Instead of the donkeys or the elephants, the lion is the Trump party.
	Cause he has blonde hair.
	And this is like the lion hearted?
	It's cause he has blonde hair.
	Cause he has that fucking, they're calling that a mane?
	Yeah.
	Jesus Christ, okay again, we were just we're just touting, you know white mediocrity like you get that hair and you get to call it a mane That's insane.
	That's that's post-modernism.
	What words just don't have meanings anymore.
	I suppose It's also Rastafarian erasure if you're just gonna take the line from the Rastafarians I was gonna say hopefully the hopefully the Marley family sues them like they see everybody else which is you know good for them and Next, let's get on to the next comment.
	Douglas Stelly says, I often wondered who will lead our armed militia when the time arises.
	I believe, sir, you can lead us to that fight.
	We will be there in full apparel.
	I just love this, like a bunch of militants, you know, a bunch of militias sitting around just waiting for some crank politician to lead their revolution.
	Or will it be a crank pundit, you know?
	But I believe you are the one, sir!
	It's so fucking sad.
	I mean, this guy probably will kill people, so it's not sad as much as it is probably scary, but it's still pretty pathetic.
	Could you imagine the stress of like sitting there waiting for your mail order delivery of your rogue style shoes so that you can finally be in full apparel?
	Well, you said, like, he's just gonna be wearing grunt style, head-to-toe.
	Yeah, grunt- I keep on getting grunt style and rogue style confused.
	I don't even know.
	I thought rogue style was the cop shoe.
	I didn't know what you were talking about.
	I mean, they're gonna- they're gonna- honestly, I don't know, but I know they're gonna, like, probably purchase all of their militant gear from Wayfair in order to support the child- the child concentration camps.
	Yeah.
	Whatever they're gonna buy is gonna be shitty quality.
	I just, I can't wait for the inevitable break between, like, the grunt-style sect and the nine-line apparel faction of these right-wing militias.
	Yeah, they're gonna divvy up and stuff, but they're gonna come together as like a full unit, you know?
	James Chant says... So, James Chant is responding to like the tons of people in this comment section who are posting the other photos, like the before photos of this man with his extendable nightstick, you know, like swinging it on people.
	James Chant says, interesting.
	Old man defends himself with one of Antifa's weapons of choice.
	How shocking and unfair of him.
	You know, police issued baton, uh, one of Antifa's weapons of choice.
	Photo of- Absolutely.
	Photo of old man in classic stick fighting defense stance.
	A skill that past history indicates that most Antifa members do not possess.
	I noticed a critical weakness among the Antifa.
	A deadly lack of proficiency in the Japanese art of Kendo.
	Which is bad because I did get a new baton in my Antifa loot crate.
	Stick is held in front of body to provide some protective coverage of torso.
	Also to enable quick jabs to attacker or short snapping strikes to attacker's limbs.
	Free arm is up to provide additional blocking protection.
	My next question is, how did the Old Man even get into the protest with a collapsible baton?
	As it's pretty much common knowledge that the Portland PD disarms everyone that is not Antifa before allowing them into the protest.
	My guess is the Old Man disarmed some Antifa member of their baton at some point.
	As the Old Man shows some basic skill in its use, whereas Antifa seems to constantly show a lack of skill in the area of real stick fighting.
	Okay, why is every stick fighting every fucking every fucking a far-right person online has convinced themselves They're like Jackie Chan in a fucking Jackie Chan movie and like an expert in every area of martial combat But even like even the internal logic of doesn't make any sense Like if you if this old man is actually an expert in the fucking bow staff like Donatello from the Ninja Turtles It's like why would he not bring his own staff?
	It's like why like it seems as though like we're supposed to expect that we're both to I We're supposed to, uh, believe that this old man is both like, uh, a master level, uh, uh, a master in the art of bojutsu, which is what it's called.
	Uh, uh, but also does not have his own stick.
	Like he's forced to disarm his opponent of his stick in order to like have his main weapon ready for combat.
	Well, it's like he's just fantasizing, he's just coming about this old man, and part of this fantasy is that he is honorable enough to not have brought a weapon to the protest.
	And Antifa is dishonorable, so they brought a weapon to the protest.
	But this man clearly has a weapon in this picture so it must be because he was so good at the baton that he disarmed a dishonorable Antifa protester and that's why it's okay that he has it.
	Which shows like the real bullshit of the whole thing because anybody who really knows how to stick fight knows the reason that the collapsible stick baton was invented is to make it easier to boof.
	I mean look, I think that we could do a whole episode on the delicate and deadly art of stick fighting.
	But I think that ultimately speaking, if this guy was so good at it, he wouldn't be fucking bloody, now would he?
	I've never seen anyone operate at a high level with a bo-staff but get their ass kicked.
	My dude looks like he got Kool-Aid poured all over his head.
	Like, you know.
	I'd like to see... So frankly, I think that... Sorry, go ahead.
	No, no, that's it.
	We can... I was just gonna say I'd like to see this guy and his baton go up against Mike Vallele and his skateboard.
	That is one of the greatest... Mike Falea, I kind of wish he'd rise to prominence again because throughout the late 90s and early 2000s he was a known anti-racist.
	He was known for beating up racists at skate parks and being a good ally in the sense that he was an accomplice, not an ally.
	I think he was overcompensating for that haircut.
	He was known for that.
	Yeah, yeah, that might have something to do with it.
	Even though, you know, he did... Hey, if Ed Templeton can forgive him, then I can forgive him too.
	So yeah, Mike Folletti, we need you to stop wearing a helmet and start beating up races again.
	Tony Hawk's Extreme Pro Skater 7 Antifa Super Soldier.
	Yeah, I wish.
	I fucking wish.
	Tony Hawk's Weather Underground.
	Brad McCormick, a couple more comments here.
	Brad McCormick says, Bring that shit to Central Florida.
	In fact, bring it downtown Ocala or The Villages or any of the other retirement communities.
	There are old ladies down here that can whoop your ass with one hand and hold their walker with the other.
	Make sure to bring your masks to wipe up your blood and wipe your ass after getting the shit kicked out of you by a little old lady.
	I love this, just like, yeah, just an old lady running over a socialist in her Medicare-funded hover around.
	I think that's like a great analogy for America.
	It's, uh, they're all, they're all like the, the grandma from, um, Hey Arnold.
	Um, but there's no way she, she, she was definitely like a liberal.
	She was, she was definitely, she's definitely Antifa.
	She's not, she was down.
	Or at least she was kind to Harold.
	I don't know.
	She was very much a hippie.
	She was like fucking Marion Wilson.
	Oh, that's right.
	She was tight, right?
	And she was a ninja.
	She was a hippie and a ninja.
	She was definitely down for the struggle.
	She was down to fucking scrap.
	I think she called the cop a pig one time.
	That is a show I do need to revisit because I remember really liking it for all those reasons.
	Yeah, Arnold's grandmother says blue lives don't matter.
	The only blue lives that matter are Sonic and Mega Man.
	Every other blue life is fucking fungible.
	And also Skeeter from Doug.
	I think Skeeter's more like teal.
	Or turquoise.
	I don't know which one I'm thinking of.
	Those are like subsets of blue.
	Those are types of blue, I think.
	Well, one is blue-green and one is green-blue.
	So, you know.
	Yeah.
	Don't be racist or colorist or whatever.
	I'll ask my daughter tomorrow which one's which.
	Erase tealist.
	I love this fantasy that this guy had about a retirement village fighting off Antifa.
	How is there no Red Dawn-esque movie like this but set in a retirement village?
	It's the next logical step for Clint Eastwood.
	Well, there sort of is.
	It's called Late Phases, except instead of Antifa, it's starring werewolves.
	Like, if you just replace werewolves with Antifa, then, like, it's Late Phases.
	Okay, the only, I've never heard of that one.
	The only one I could think of that was close was, uh, Red, Retired, Extremely Dangerous, or whatever.
	Based on a graphic novel.
	That was, that's, yeah, with Bruce Willis.
	Yeah.
	That girl.
	Morgan Freeman, and, uh, I want to say, the one from the meme, Meryl Streep.
	Right.
	I think that was a good movie.
	I watched that.
	I think that was a fun action movie.
	Dang, late phases look sick.
	Yeah, but yeah, they fade his whips ass.
	It's about like a blind retiree who moved into a retirement home and like his first night They're like a werewolf attacks And then like he spends like the fucking next the next 30 days getting like in in shape to fistfight the werewolf Like you think old V?
	Like a blind V?
	You think if Daredevil got like old and retired he got like out of shape?
	Okay, well now there's werewolves not the fucking like trained to fight him like the dude an old boy.
	Yeah, that sounds tight.
	That's awesome.
	That's awesome.
	Last comment here.
	Cheryl Perron says, so sad.
	And they did it in front of God.
	Beware.
	Of course.
	A, I like how she ended it like a fucking Goosebumps book cover blurb.
	Like, reader beware, you're in for a scare.
	But also, yeah, you gotta beat their asses in front of God, so God knows he's next.
	That's how people know that I'm like really pussy, because I'm always all like, hey God, look over there, there's something happening over there, and then I assault the elderly.
	Look over there, there's a gay couple getting married and they have a cake and it's just like, wailing on fucking racist boomers so God can't see.
	That's when I beat the elderly.
	I think Antifa should have beat up this elderly man in a public school where God isn't allowed.
	Oh, yeah, definitely.
	All elder abuse should happen in public schools, I guess, so kids can know never to get old.
	I just want to say, all joking aside, it's weird to look at Facebook comments because I'm not on any social media site or even any social media adjacent site other than Twitter.
	And so, like, the ecosystems of other social media sites are very, very fascinating.
	Like, Instagram is just all positivity and, like, vague, passive-aggressive sniping, and Twitter is just, like, you know, depression.
	But, like, Facebook is, like, this weird haven of, like, boomer, psychosexual fantasies about violence towards, like, Millennials and Antifa and Clint Eastwood memes.
	It's very weird.
	Yeah, it's suburban fascism.
	That's what Facebook is.
	I don't know, Instagram is really, really reactionary too.
	Instagram is pretty similar to Facebook in that way.
	If you're following the HisNameWasSethRich account, for instance.
	What?
	Except there's no line breaks allowed in the captions, so it's just, you know, like 20 lines of text mashed together that some people still manage to read, you know?
	It's like 20 lines of text mashed together about some Muslim rape gang that was given public housing after assaulting a 14-year-old or something, and it's like 20 lines of text, and that post has 147,000 likes.
	Well, we all enjoyed writing fan fiction when we were teenagers and so like I don't want to like I don't want to judge anybody I will say it's really interesting like when you see the kind of like Conspiracy theories that take purchase in people's minds on these sites because like they're always so vast and weird and complex and like unbelievable But then you have like actual conspiracies and scandals come out that are more that are pretty you know
	like damning in proven in like Equally as like not that will scandal essentially and like they just ignore them, right?
	I'm just I guess like right now I'm saying about the Jeffrey Epstein thing and how we've been like essentially like six months talking about pizza gate and pizza gate and like, you know also stuff like in this is pretty much just like what pizza gate was I said there wasn't like a it wasn't really a pizza parlor was more or less what you'd expect like a fantasy island for pedophiles Yeah and like the far right is kind of just like not interested in it despite it you know more which is sad to say it implicating a lot of the same people they want to implicate in the pizza guy there's something like totally
	Absolutely.
	It's wild.
	They actually benefit from this when they're not running with it.
	It's like, here, here.
	There's not even code words, guys.
	They don't have to say extra cheese pizza.
	They just are going to the island.
	And it's the people you hate.
	It is Clinton.
	Go.
	Run with this.
	I don't know.
	My theory is just that it's not...
	It's not what you want in a conspiracy theory, because it's actually being investigated, and it might actually be prosecuted.
	I mean, I don't know how- to what degree it'll be prosecuted, but people- people have already figured it out.
	Like, the point of a conspiracy theory is that you are involved in it, you have the secret truth, nobody will listen to you, so you're some sort of, like, martyred outcast on the fringes of society, you manage to find, you know, common ground with other people who feel that way, But it's basically too mainstream, is what I'm saying.
	It, like, defeats the purpose of, like, following or being invested in a conspiracy theory.
	Now, like, you know, crime podcast listeners will love this story, but the actual conspiracy theorists, it's not going to, like, you know, tickle their fancy as well, I don't think.
	Okay, that's the episode.
