TODAY: We discuss Kanye's latest epic turn towards standard right wing hitlerism, including rehabilitating accused sex criminal kingpins like Puff Daddy. Talk about a meeting of the minds! We discuss the broader absurdity of antisemitism and the way it sheepdogs discontented workers away from a coherent class politics. ALSO: A Maine farmer livestreams his shootout with police because Maine likes gay people and abortion too much and NOT because he lost custody of the child he's refusing to give up.

You might have been like, hey, how come Minion Death Cult keeps fucking up and eating shit and not releasing episodes on time and just being incredibly unprofessional and unappealing as a source of entertainment?
It's because we've been working on really cool merchandise, folks.
That's right.
We are extremely excited to announce our first shirt.
Sweatshirt and hat in over a year.
And this is, of course, our first hooded sweatshirt ever.
Something that people have been clamoring for.
Anytime it's a little overcast, people are like, where's my fucking MDC sweatshirt?
And you're right, and we're sorry.
I know.
Well, I've been very cold for quite some time because you've been waiting for an MDC hoodie.
Well, your time is now.
Hopefully, you won't catch the cold anymore.
That's right.
We're not saying it prevents COVID-19, folks, but just do the math.
I think it's safe to say the MDC sweatshirt is a balanced part of everybody's wellness platform and program.
I mean, as of right now, nobody has ever contracted COVID-19 wearing an MDC hoodie.
It hasn't happened.
That's just not even what we think about.
We're not even thinking about ways to market this or anything.
It's just neat.
It's just neat when you think about stuff.
I just like numbers.
I like data.
I'm a big data guy.
Dude, not to derail this, not to disraeli gears this thing entirely, I saw a clip of Elon Musk on the Big Bang Theory, which I didn't, which of course should exist.
Yeah, of course that exists.
But I had never seen it.
More embarrassing, I think, than the Simpsons cameo.
I think.
It's Elon Musk volunteering in a soup kitchen.
And wowing one of the nerds in the soup kitchen so hard that he almost wets himself.
Awesome.
So he really is smart because he impressed the Big Bang people.
Right.
He's a nerd's nerd.
Dang.
Atrocious.
Awful.
Elon, though, did seem very natural in the scene and you could totally understand what emotions were going through his mind and how he felt at the time.
Okay, but...
Back to our first hooded sweatshirt ever.
It's sick.
It's got Tony's logo on the back of it.
The front is our tasteful black metal logo, and the back is a tribute to America and all of the substances that it affords us.
Yeah, the beautiful icons that are America now.
Cigarette.
Cigarettes.
Revolver.
Yes.
Bible.
Amen.
Three basic food groups.
The shirt is a pocket shirt.
Our first actual pocket.
It's got a freaking pocket on it.
That's not just the placement, folks.
We're talking an actual pocket, which I love.
And these are also union-made shirts.
And they will let everybody know about your devotion to the MDC workout plan.
This is also our first certifiable tough.
This is for tough guys and gals and non-binary pals only.
And not just tough, but brain tough.
You'll feel the MDC workout plan when you wear this shirt.
Six hidden comments.
Six ha-ha react.
Six threaten to eat a liberal.
Six Facebook jails.
Six civil wars.
Six AI mistresses.
This is what's going to help you defeat your enemies.
This is what's going to help get your brain into the shape that it needs to be in.
That's our workout plan.
You only need to do that cycle one time.
That's what's beautiful about it.
Only once a day.
At least three to four times a week.
Your brain is going to get so jacked up with the MDC workout plan.
You're never going to believe it.
You need the shirt.
You've earned the...
I think they've earned the shirt at this point.
I think so.
Yeah, and then, of course, we have a hat.
We have a hat with the same logo as the shirt.
This is a good hat.
Tony tells me it's a really good hat.
And this is, again, another inspired by a commenter piece of merchandise that you're just going to have to go and see.

All there in Barbados.
Stay tuned.
All right.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
This witch hunt against Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, is responsible.
And we're documenting it, folks.
Yeah, so what's up, everybody?
I wanted to just, you know, start this episode.
We're in a very special month.
We're in the month of February.
It's another Black History Month with another Kanye West meltdown.
Didn't this happen last Black?
Does he do this like every Black History Month?
Was it Black History Month when he did it when it was last Hitler rants?
It was when it was last Nazi rants?
I think you might be right.
Maybe I'm imagining that.
The synergy would be off the charts.
Well, I mean, it's here.
Regardless of whether he did it last year or not.
It's here again.
He went back to Twitter to write, The Jews wrote Martin Luther King's speech.
Double space.
Happy Black History Month!
So the double space, I think, might be because he originally had some exclamation points after it, but he was like, oh, maybe that's a little anti-Semitic.
And so he erased the exclamation points and then did another space, not knowing that it had already inserted a space.
Man, man.
Those are my first thoughts when I look at this.
I look at the grammar.
That's kind of what's most important to me.
That is what Deezus said.
He said, listen, I'm a big fan of graduation, but the double space instead of punctuation, that's a step too far for me.
The fucking boomer syntax, brother.
I can't be seen supporting this.
I was literally talking to a friend last week about, like, how proud I am of Kanye for just, like, shutting the fuck up during the whole election cycle.
He was, like, being provocative in different ways.
He was being, you know, like, he was still being a shitster, but in a different way.
You know, he wasn't doing, like, the weird racist stuff.
Well, I think maybe a big part of why Kanye wasn't being vocal is because there was an actual reason to criticize Benjamin Netanyahu instead of pretending that Benjamin Netanyahu was the one who had Kim Kardashian divorce him, which happened in one of his previous meltdowns.
He didn't want to accidentally be seen supporting Palestinians, I think is why he might have.
He knew...
He knew his own limitations.
He wouldn't be able to thread the needle of being anti-Semitic while also not being pro-Palestinian.
It's a tough wire to walk.
I was literally saying, he's done such a good job staying in the news in a different way with his naked wife and stuff.
That's not good.
I don't like the naked wife.
Good job, man.
You're being subversive in a different way.
I'm going to go.
We can still call this art in a way.
We're going to let you rock.
And this motherfucker just like days later.
Yeah.
I'm like, no, buddy.
Oh, come on.
Who are you hanging out with where you're writing the Jews World of Martin Luther King speech?
Well, I don't know if you heard this, but he also came out and he came out as autistic.
I did.
And you know what?
I watched that interview because he was doing fine.
When did that interview happen?
What's that from?
That happened like four days ago.
Yeah.
Okay.
He said, oh, I guess I'm autistic now.
That means I have to be even more Hitlerian a la Elon Musk, the most famous person with autism.
He said, I have the type of autism to where when you tell me not to do something, I have to do it.
I didn't realize he was talking about this.
I was hoping he wasn't talking about this.
I was hoping he learned about this.
That's a specific thing called oppositional defiance disorder.
We know you have it.
You didn't need to be diagnosed with a different thing that one of the symptoms is your most striking characteristic in the last decade or whatever.
Someone should be like...
I just want to go, that's not what autism is.
Autism isn't like, quote, being difficult.
That's like a cartoon TV version of what autism is.
Again, maybe see our future episode on House for that.
Now, real quick, I might have misheard it, but I think he did say that his wife did encourage him to get diagnosed.
And he did get diagnosed.
She's been so supportive of, she's always wanted me to get diagnosed with autism.
So we could all be more secure in our minds.
I just want to clarify, I might have misheard him saying, my wife diagnosed me with.
Which is not the same thing.
Someone just needs to tell them, hey, Kanye, you better not think about things before you say it.
Don't do that.
People hate it when you do that.
Because then maybe he'll fucking do that.
You maybe shouldn't remember how notoriously awful George Bush was, for example.
Yeah, right?
Well, no.
I realize the reason I hated George Bush so much is because he wasn't as big of a Nazi as he could have been.
He was holding back.
He was holding back.
I think we could have done more with the Patriot Act.
I think we kind of mailed that one in.
George Bush does not care about black people.
He should hate them.
He should feel very strongly against them.
It's like, he's like, because I love haters because, you know, at least haters are paying attention.
You know?
I know that I'm on their radar.
If you hate me, I'm living rent-free.
You feel me?
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
So, a bunch of tweets here from Kanye, and I kind of do want to go through them.
You know, like, if there was a way...
Where we were actually giving Kanye attention by covering him, I wouldn't do it.
If we had 7.3 million listeners, the way that Kanye has 7.3 million views of this one tweet on Twitter, I probably wouldn't be boosting this stuff.
It wouldn't be as, I don't know, fun to talk about, I guess, if we had any hand in like...
Popularizing this stuff.
But this is like the biggest platform on the internet.
One of the biggest fucking stars in the country.
Yeah.
I think we gotta talk about his stupid fucking tweets.
The Jews wrote Martin Luther King's speech.
My favorite response to this was from Mercury Rules who says, not all of his speeches.
What the fuck, dude?
This is somebody in the midst of a transition.
Yeah.
This is somebody who is anti-Semitic, but doesn't know you're supposed to be anti-Semitic so you can get rid of civil rights legislation.
Yeah.
And so he's just got the first half where he's like, no, but he was still a good man.
Yeah.
The argument is that he has these views because of the Jews.
The views you like that he has are because of a nefarious Jewish plot or influence or whatever.
Yeah.
And it's great, too, because, like, also, you're kind of talking to Kanye, who I think might think that Martin Luther King Jr. did one speech.
Maybe he's talking about when the original Martin Luther King created Protestantism.
Maybe he's talking about...
The Jews wrote the demands that he nailed to the wall.
The divorce.
Not all of them, bro.
I guess, I don't know, Martin Luther King might have had a Jewish speechwriter or whatever.
Plenty of people have speechwriters and he obviously believed.
You know, everything he said.
Everybody needs a wingman.
I don't know.
You know what I mean?
It's like, so they're going to make having friends illegal now.
It also just sucks too because it completely, you know, denies the rich history of, you know, of...
Black Jewish solidarity.
Totally.
It doesn't deny it.
It tries to highlight it for a negative purpose.
For a negative purpose.
Oh, yes.
Coming from a black man, it makes me want to fucking scream.
It's like, you idiot.
They're one of the first people to be like, hey, you guys are humans.
You know, that's a pretty cool thing to happen.
That's the thing is if you radicalize people against Jewish people first, then you can retroactively radicalize them also against civil rights.
And this guy is like halfway through that process.
He's almost there, yeah.
Pretty gnarly stuff.
Yeah, so what do you do when you have the world's attention?
What do you do when you have everybody looking at you because you're saying incredibly provocative and, you know, Overtly racist things.
You call to Free Puff Daddy.
Free Puff!
Says Ye.
You know, honestly, I hate when posts get used in court and stuff like that.
But guess his hard drives you gotta check now.
You gotta check Ye's hard drives.
You have to now.
I think he's just doing a thing where he...
Like, I said on Twitter, I said, if I can just do anything, I would give Kanye 4chan in 2007 so he can get it out of his system.
He's, like, just doing this now.
He's just saying the most, like, offensive shit you can say.
I don't think he really believes in freeing Puff.
I don't think he really wants to, like, I don't think he is thinking about how he is, like, in a way, indicting himself.
No one was saying that you were at these parties, dude.
You've been pretty lucky to stay out of the conversation for the past year in a few different ways.
Why would you do this?
He thinks he's strong enough to do it.
He's like me.
He thinks his brain and his brand is strong enough to where he can survive a car accident without wearing a seatbelt.
Yeah, exactly.
But it's also, it is like...
I'm not saying autism.
I don't know what the fuck this guy has.
He's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
He's been diagnosed with autism by whomever.
I don't know.
The racism, that's not mental illness.
That's just how his mental illness...
That's like the fodder that is in his brain that the mental illness is acting on.
And some of this stuff does seem like he's out of his mind, but it's not...
Like, necessarily incoherent, any more incoherent than the stuff we cover on this show by everyday people.
In fact, it's more coherent than a lot of the comments we read on Facebook from boomers or whatever, you know?
So it's just, you know, I don't want to say that I don't want to blame it on mental illness, but I also don't want to, like, gloss over the fact that he's, I think, pretty well documented to be mentally ill.
Well, no matter what they're posting, nobody who is not posting on Twitter a lot and then one day just posts like 20 times, no matter what the post is, even if it's not like a racist screed, even if it's just you're talking about the hot dog you had 20 times, you're not doing well.
You're not doing well that day.
You're definitely going through something that day.
I think for sure this is going to be seen as some sort of Breakdown or, you know, manic moment for him.
But it doesn't, it doesn't, it does not exclude it.
It doesn't excuse it, you know, by any means.
But yeah, he's clearly not doing great.
This manic moment.
When your screen's close to my eyes.
Free puff, man.
That's what I love to do is side with the fucking sexual predator.
That everybody hates.
I hadn't seen almost anyone defend Puff Daddy.
And I think that is why he thought maybe he could do it.
But there might also be an easier explanation, which is he had a collaboration with Sean John in the works when Puff Daddy was arrested.
Because he's selling a Sean John shirt on his website.
That he calls a Yeezy-Sean Job collab.
Maybe this is a rip.
Maybe he's faking the whole thing.
I don't know, but it says Sean John on the shirt, and that's what he's advertising it as.
Not only is he actually selling this shirt and calling it a collaboration and saying it's a collaboration that he had with Puff Daddy before Puff Daddy got arrested, he's advertising this shirt on Facebook.
I have an ad in my Facebook feed from Yeezy.
Of the Sean John shirt.
It's just a plain shirt that says in the cursive Sean John logo across the chest at Yeezy.com.
You know what?
This is what sucks, too.
The Yeezy clothing thing he's doing right now, that by itself is actually a really cool, disruptive thing.
I'm sure they're not using any type of good production ethics there.
But they are, like, making a sought-after, clouded-up, very cool items for $20.
And, like, that is something that is, like, interesting and cool and disruptive, and, like, it's neat to see him do it.
But then, now you're gonna, like, fuck that up, too?
By making a weird rapist shirt?
I haven't seen people in Yeezy stuff, so I don't know how popular that is.
It's popular.
How well he's doing.
But this is apparently a real business venture, and it's crazy because, like I said, I hadn't seen any...
Even the fucking assholes are calling Puff Daddy a gay child molester.
Like that's the angle that a lot of the people who hate Puff Daddy now hate him for is because of the rumors of him being gay or bisexual and making fun of the rappers that he supposedly like pressured or had a relationship with or something like that.
But the hate is coming from all directions is what I'm saying.
And it's and it's just wild in this air in this era of like the elites or child predator chom chomos and also they're queer or whatever for him to like.
Pick this guy.
So I think maybe that's like one of the biggest signs of mental illness isn't just that he's like doing oppositional defiance or whatever.
It's that he picked such a weird fucking way to go for it.
There is like this other side thing going on where he is trying to do this like kind of tap in on nostalgia and he's doing this kind of like bringing back all this stuff.
He's been wearing like a dip set chain.
He put out a fur-collared hoodie.
He's doing this throwback stuff.
And yeah, Sean John was of that moment.
But so was your ex-best friend partner, Jay-Z, who had RockAware.
It could have been a RockAware shirt.
You can't even use that angle.
Because You did choose the rapist.
You chose him.
You can't even claim any type of cultural nostalgia.
You chose the wrong thing.
I guess maybe I had a glaring error in my estimation that you made me realize doing something like this with Puff Daddy would Garner so much more attention than doing it with Jay-Z. Even though Jay-Z just had allegations against him that were very popular,
it's different from Puff Daddy, who's currently in fucking prison, and there's like 100,000 allegations against him, and there's fucking video footage of him fucking being a creep to Justin Bieber and shit like that.
It makes a bigger splash if you pick Puff Daddy.
And I take it back.
Maybe going with Free Puff Daddy isn't as, quote, insane or whatever as I suggested previously because he's insulated from any of the actual people who want to round up the pedophiles and let's go on a YouTube show where we get to beat the shit out of a guy for trying to meet up with a girl or whatever.
He's insulated from all that.
He's not actually worried about that coming back to bite him or whatever.
So he can make whatever jokes or whatever edgy comments online he wants because he'll never be the object of these people because he's on their side.
And what's funny is this shirt is only going to be purchased not from people of the culture you're doing a nod to.
You're not going to be seeing...
40-year-old black men wearing this shirt.
You're going to see 19-year-old white SoundCloud rappers wearing this shirt.
I don't know, man.
I bet the Bay Area is going to be bopping.
They're going to be so hyphy.
Dude, the Bay Area is going to get so hyphy.
I bet E-40 is doing corporate gigs in Silicon Valley right now, and he's going to come out in one of these shirts.
No way.
E-40 is never to be caught dead sipping his wine wearing a Sean John shirt.
Hell no.
Well, that's good.
The people who now back him, the people who love him now, are just like edgelord corny kids.
That's it.
And a lot of those kids do have money, so therefore he can still sell stuff.
Yeah, I mean, I will never be on Sean, John, or Puff Daddy's side.
I'm on Danity Kane's side all the way.
All the way.
Team Danity Kane.
What was the male group called?
I don't remember.
I watched a good chunk of that show.
Making the Band, right?
Yeah, I watched the first season.
Were they doing Girls and Guys simultaneously?
I think the Girls was the first one and the Guys was the second try.
I think I watched both seasons, but I remember on the guys, one of the guys, one of the young kids made a comment against Clear Channel, like said something against Clear Channel, was like, fuck Clear Channel or some shit like that.
And everybody, the music stopped and everybody looked at him.
And I can't even remember if...
Puff Daddy was there talking to him, but somebody high up was like, you know who owns the cameras that are filming you right now, dumbass?
Also, shout out to that guy.
I felt so bad for him because he was like, oh shit, my bad, I'm sorry.
I was like, god damn it!
It sucks that we even saw that.
They had to police it.
See, this is what happens when you speak bad about Clear Channel, bro.
You get silenced.
Yeah, no, and they broadcast that as a humiliation ritual.
Everybody against Clear Channel who was watching that got humiliated and demoralized by it, including me.
And that was part of their plan, you know?
It's fucked up.
It's fucked up.
He tweeted free Puff Daddy several times.
Puff, we love you!
Who the fuck is we, bro?
Yeah.
Who the fuck is we?
I need you to find just one other person of note to go ahead and side with you right now.
More tweets.
Yeah, so Yee maybe started this.
One of the earlier tweets I saw was Yee say, I got in the shower and thought of six tweets.
Let me see what I can remember.
Which this is kind of a classic Kanye tweet.
Kanye's always had kind of a funny Twitter presence.
But this is kind of a funny tweet.
Like, you know, oh, I thought of some good tweets.
Let me see if I can remember them.
That's classic.
You're just like letting everybody know that you're working on them.
I'll probably have something.
I don't think he had said much before this tweet.
I don't think there was much being said before this.
And so he was like, hey guys, buckle up.
Get ready.
So the first one that he said after this was...
I'm going to normalize talking about Hitler.
They way talking about killing N-words has been normalized.
Hell yeah, brother.
See, this is maybe like the mental illness creeping in.
Yeah.
Because it's like, what the fuck are you talking about, dude?
You're going to get back at the white man by normalizing Hitler?
What?
It sucks because I know that there is a part of him...
Who is very upset about the way that black people are treated in America.
But he's so separated from it and so isolated.
I remember a while ago he put out this little documentary thing I watched and I realized he had no peers around him anymore.
He was only surrounded by rich white guys who were talking to him about cryptocurrency and hydroponic farming who wanted to make money off of him.
And that's who he's surrounded by now.
Is that illegal?
Should that be illegal, Tony?
That should be illegal.
We should not let these rich white men around Kanye West.
And he's clearly not even on the internet if you think that talking about Hitler is not normalized.
You're clearly not on the internet and you're only being fed whatever you're being fed about...
How Killing Niggas has been normalized and I don't really know what he means by that.
And what sucks is I think he's talking about the state of rap music.
Oh, yeah.
I don't even think he's talking about police murders or anything like that or the system that is keeping the infighting happening.
I think he's talking about the state of rap music.
Yeah, because it's the way talking about killing and words.
Yeah.
That's very weird.
Yeah, the thing about you saying like him, maybe he's not on the internet that much because he doesn't know that it's already normal to talk about Hitler or whatever.
For one thing, I have seen screenshots from his phone because he was like tweeting out his screenshots of like his feed and it's just like, it's just Elon Musk.
Uh, Alex Jones and like somebody from the Daily Wire, like Candace Owens or somebody like that.
Those three were like right next to each other in his feet.
And it's like, so, I mean, he's like, those are his friends.
Right.
That's like you being on my feet.
You said he doesn't have any peers around you.
What are, who's Dennis Prager, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You're right.
Um, no, but, uh, so he's like a boomer.
He's like a boomer reactionary.
Because these are like established outlets he's following.
He's following the richest man in the fucking world.
He's following one of the most flush with cash right-wing media organizations in the world.
So he's getting that like...
He's getting what the idea of edginess is from Elon Musk.
That's like where...
He kept using the F-slur, and he kept saying the R-slur.
And then at one point in these tweets, he says, I'm bringing back the F-slur and the R-slur.
And it's like, you're fucking a month late to the discourse, brother.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You are struggling for relevance, it seems like, because this already happened.
Do you know how many fucking Zoomers called you an R-worded F-slur when they read that?
Like, so, so many.
Like, what are you talking about, bro?
It's, things I'm saying is like, where, you, how are you missing this, dude?
How do you not know this is like, you're, for somebody who's always been on the forefront of a lot of things, how are you so behind on this?
And it's because you were making, you were making incredible stuff.
And you were not logged in in 2010. He's a lame.
He's a lame.
He's a lame now.
He's good at music, and I guess he's good at fashion.
I'll trust you when you say that or whatever.
But he's culturally a lame, and he's getting all this stuff from Elon Musk and from the extremely popular AstroTurf-based Benny Johnson, Candace Owens, fucking Ben Shapiro shit.
And that's why it's so cringe.
It's cringe, and then he's trying to out-cringe them by saying things like, the next tweet, Hitler was so fresh.
Brother, like, you want to do the thing where you're like, I'm a fashion designer, and you know, Hugo Boss, the lines, and the, like, go for it.
Have your little fun.
You're not even good at this, dude.
Is this how he...
I have a question.
Is this how he normally talk?
Would he say something like so fresh?
Is that how he would normally describe someone he liked?
It's funny.
I actually can't...
I can't think of a clip of him complimenting somebody and saying they're fresh.
And just like the so...
Is he being sarcastic?
It doesn't really matter because there's no...
There's no point to it.
So it's not like, oh, he's doing it to prove a point or anything like that.
The point is that he wants to say this stuff.
And people, certain type of people, really love it when he says this stuff.
That's the effect it has on the world, whether or not he's doing a bit.
But this one, is it like he's like, oh, he was so fretful.
That's like the only amount of The only time I'm really questioning any of this.
Dude, I hope he starts rocking a Hitler stash.
I hope he starts rocking it.
I'm picturing it with the grill and everything.
He's kind of getting away with it.
That's what he should have done.
Instead of all these tweets, he should have just started rocking a Hitler stash.
Honestly, that's a safer way to go with it.
I don't think...
Like, the stash was the problem with Hitler.
I'm just gonna say that.
You know what's crazy is I still believe that if, like, if he can just get me in a room with the guy and just put me on his team, I can save him.
I think I can save him.
Just by telling him, dude, you look stupid.
You're fucking lame.
They're all making fun of you.
Yeah, but then, like, how long are you gonna last before he starts throwing heavy objects at your head?
Ten minutes.
You know, you could be a good influence on him for like a few months until he gets a more motivated influencer on him.
You know, he's like a Donald Trump guy.
He's just like whoever's closest to him and that becomes his personality.
I'll make it right a contract where whoever replaces me has to fight me to take my place.
Okay, more tweet.
Connie said, I paid $1.5 million for my Grammy ads this year, double space.
Let's see if Fox give that money back, double space.
You gonna give back that money for my opinions, then stand on it.
And then the next tweet, I love Hitler, double space.
Now what, bitches?
So it's like, even if this is a joke, right?
Like, maybe he thinks, maybe he's like...
Trying to say that it's a joke, even if it's not a joke in his head.
Maybe he's trying to say that it's a joke or whatever.
What's the difference?
There's nothing to it.
He's just, I love Hitler.
It's not a joke.
There's no punchline.
It's like that clip from the Adam Friedland show where he told that freak to say a Jewish joke.
Did you see that clip?
No.
Man, I can't remember that guy's name.
Jews have big nose.
Oh, that's it.
Oh, that kid.
Jesse Lee Peterson or whatever that guy's name is.
No free clout.
He's got a bigger audience than us, unfortunately.
Hey, no free clout.
That sucks.
It's like, Jews have big...
That's not a joke!
You're just racist!
Like, it's not...
There's, you know, it's amazing.
Yeah, just...
So that's...
I don't know.
That's my only...
That's my only...
That's as far as I'm willing to argue against somebody saying that this is a joke.
If it's a joke, it doesn't make sense as a joke.
Not a good joke, yeah.
And he says, let's see if y'all give that money back!
Then the next tweet, I'm a Nazi!
Okay, alright.
Cool.
Cool.
And I hate to talk about it.
If you paid somebody for something and they didn't do it, you can get your money back.
You're a rich person.
You can do that.
You can get your money back.
I don't know if you ever really did that.
I wonder if they were crushable abs.
This is a bitchier argument.
Did they not air his Grammy ads?
I'm sure they did, right?
I don't know.
What he's arguing is that they didn't want to continue a relationship with him after he said a bunch of Jews, anti-Jewish stuff.
And so he's calling them hypocrites for not giving his money back to him.
It's a very, very cunty, bitchy argument to make.
I always hate this argument because it's just like Well, I don't like you, Kanye, so why would I give you $1.5 million?
Yeah.
It's good that you don't have that money, actually.
I'm actually not hypocritical for not handing that money back to you.
Fuck you.
We actually assessed your things and we realized that that's a waste money, so it's not efficient.
We can't give it back to you.
We're going to give it to the elderly.
I don't know.
This is funny.
It's funny to me because you're such a freak.
You're such a sideshow.
I don't think you're brilliantly subverting society by saying, I'm a Nazi!
You just look like a cringe Nazi.
It sucks.
I've said it before, but it's like...
Dude, you were subversive enough.
People hated you because you were a successful black guy.
People already hated you.
You were doing stuff.
People were always mad at you for really no reason.
That should have been good enough.
Why do you have to do this?
Why do you need attention so bad?
Why do you need negative attention so bad?
This was one of the visibility limited tweets from Kanye.
I was abused by Jews.
Specifically, Jamie Dimon froze my accounts.
Jamie Dimon is not Jewish.
Jamie Dimon is Greek.
He's a banker, isn't he?
I think it's like Damone, too.
Nah, it's Dimon.
It's Dimon.
He's unfortunately been a popular, well-known figure for many years.
I've had to hear that fucker's name on the news for decades now.
I was abused by Jews like this.
You're just like...
It's funny because every time we come upon anti-Semitism, instantly I like...
Obviously it's hateful.
Obviously it's bad because it's bigoted, because it excludes people, because it targets people for immutable characteristics, etc., etc.
But it's like also...
It's unique.
I guess it's pretty similar to anti-black racism, but it's different because you're blaming this group for succeeding too much at your expense or whatever.
You're blaming this racial group for being really good at capitalism or whatever.
And so it's like, on principle, shouldn't you be mad at everybody who is Good at capitalism, who is good at exploitation, who is good at doing all these same things that you're accusing the Jews of.
Because we know it's not just Jewish people.
Jews are in the minority.
It is not mostly Jewish people.
And so it's funny to see him slip up and accidentally just blame a general member of the ruling class who is doing all the things that they accuse Jews of doing.
It's the socialism of fools.
It's the socialism where you just stop thinking.
Your brain explores the idea of exploitation through this one very specific lens of anti-Semitism that you've been funneled into, and it just stops thinking.
It creates a magical world where Jews are these supernatural beings who have superhuman characteristics.
It's all fantastical thinking.
To me, in general.
But yeah, I like that slip-up.
Here's where he, I think, pretended that he was going to make a swastika t-shirt.
He posted a photo that looks like a photo of his stock, his clothing stock.
I promise you, our shirt doesn't have a swastika on it.
Just wanted to get that out there.
Guaranteed no swastika shirts.
Yeah.
He says, I've wanted to make this t-shirt for years my greatest performance art piece thus far.
And it's just a white shirt with a black swastika on it.
Again, I think he's maybe trying to do...
He thinks if he's just a big enough asshole, that counts as performance art.
But you like...
I don't know.
You queer the deal when you're like, this is performance art!
I am a Nazi!
Like, I don't know.
Maybe you are autistic, bro.
Maybe I take it back.
It sucks, man, because this is not cooler than cutting the roof off of Maybach.
Like, that was your greatest piece of performance art, brother.
Like, don't forget where you came from.
Yeah.
We do miss the old yay, goddammit!
Yeah.
And then, yeah, I guess we'll just maybe end this segment with this.
It's a good way to stop it.
This is maybe my favorite tweet from him.
He says, My sales doubled since last night!
Damn!
Double space.
The world must be racist like me!
Crying laughing emoji.
Twisted crying laughing emoji.
What do you think?
What do you say to this?
I mean, yeah, dude.
Yeah, it is, bro.
Yeah, it is.
Sorry.
It's not only racist, it's also filled with sexual predators, man.
Yeah.
Is there one public figure who's willing to go against sexual predation at this point?
They all seem to be leaning into it.
It's wild.
I just don't understand it, man.
I don't understand it.
This guy's had so much racism done to him in the media and he still isn't like...
You should be mad and you're mad at all the wrong people.
It sucks so bad.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's like he took the idea that the left or liberals Are actually the party of racists.
Now, I'm not saying liberals aren't racist.
I'm talking about the conservative meme, Democrats are the real racists because of slavery, because Democrats did slavery, because Democrats did Jim Crow, because Democrats have a plantation that uses welfare to enslave black people or whatever.
I think he's, like, dumb enough politically to get, like, actually tricked into thinking that by, like, Candace Owens, right?
Or even, like, TKW could probably fucking convince this guy.
And so he's, like, genuinely like, oh, okay, so I gotta get more anti-Democrat in order to fix the problems.
And they don't like racism.
And they don't like Nazism.
So to oppose the Democrats, I gotta be a racist Nazi.
Okay, and that'll fix the system that I don't like.
I think he might have genuinely, in addition to everything else we've been talking about, just been tricked into thinking that you could racism your way into a better society.
You could free speech your way into a better society or something.
Yeah, it's sad.
It's just sad.
It's like, man...
Watching him regress into a 19-year-old online kid is so sad.
Yeah, but not online enough, like we said.
Totally.
All right.
Yeah, let's move on.
I don't want to give you mine at all.
I don't want to meet you nowhere.
No, don't want any old time at all.
I don't want no strong as well as I can't get no love from me.
Making up the best friends try trying to hold it at me.
I don't want no strong as I can't get no love from me.
Making up the best friends try trying to hold it at me.
I don't want no strong as I can't get no love from me.
Making up the best friends try trying to hold it at me.
I don't want no strong as I can't get no love from me.
Making up the best friends try trying to hold it at me.
I don't want no strong as I can't get no love from me.
Making up the best friends try trying to hold it at me.
Did you see that guy who live streamed himself in a shootout with police before they killed him?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this was a guy who lives in Maine who had a lot to say about living in the state of Maine and the social conditions that caused him to get into a shootout over dad's rights, apparently.
I'm here.
My name's Steven Regini.
I am a resident of Maine, and I had the cops called on me.
A SWAT team showed up, and I am now engaged in a shootout.
He's looking at the camera.
He's doing a front-facing camera thing from his kitchen while holding a rifle that has a scope on it, a sight on it.
And he's wearing a beanie for, like, an Irish-themed pub, O'Toole's pub.
And yeah, he's got his eyes out the window, but he's talking to the camera.
My state has been the number one abortion and gay rights state in the entire country.
Wow.
Maine, I was not familiar with your game.
Yeah, I had no idea.
Good job.
Good job, y'all.
That's pretty sick.
I didn't know that.
Okay, cool.
Good job, Maine.
And I've been segregated against for my beliefs.
That's crazy, man.
They made you, like, move to a whole different town?
It's been segregated against.
They segregated me for my beliefs.
They don't let me use their water fountains anymore.
I tried to go swimming in the pool and they all gave me dirty looks.
And they're like, wait, is that a kid with you?
You didn't abort that thing?
Get out of here, breeder!
Take your heteronormative body and get out of our space.
What they say every time he tries to go to the grocery store.
Now they're trying to arrest me simply because I do not believe in gay rights and abortion.
Good, good.
They should arrest you.
Go to prison.
Go away.
I know that was a thing.
I'm happy we're doing that.
They're arresting me because my Facebook posts were too dank.
They're arresting me because the meme I made about the girlfriend I could have had if she weren't aborted was too touching, was going to change the world.
She's the number one state of Maine right now.
That's what they do.
They're an abortion meal.
The abortion meal comes with a free fetus.
Is that why the adrenochrome is so cheap out of Maine?
I thought maybe it was some sort of like, I didn't realize it was just abundance.
That's good to know.
Every time I visit Maine, I get a jug of syrup and a jug of adrenochrome.
I'm here.
I'm going to shoot out with the authorities.
I also like, I'm going to shoot out with the authorities.
Yeah, it's funny that they're still like as authority.
Well, it's just also like he wanted to use like a fancier word.
He wanted to use like a more...
I don't know.
He doesn't want to die in a shootout with the police.
He wants to die in a shootout with authorities.
Authorities, yeah.
...are protecting the rights of doctors to murder babies, and they are protecting the rights of children to be ripped out of the womb and killed.
I'm here with my baby daughter, who they're also trying to take away.
Oh!
At this point, I thought maybe this was a joke.
I thought maybe this was someone who was really funny and that they were doing the people we cover all the time.
They're trying to take my kids away because I hate gay people.
And I was like, oh, maybe this is a really funny guy.
No, this is crazed main dad rants against abortion gay rights during armed police standoff before being killed by SWAT team.
This is, yeah, actual news, apparently.
No, not yet.
Not a bit.
Keeps going.
I assure you that I am not the aggressor here.
They tried to arrest me.
They tried to tase me.
They're trying to make me a criminal.
They are trying to...
That's all laws do, is they make people criminals, you know?
Yeah, it's true.
You can't be a criminal if there's no laws.
That just makes sense to me.
It's like how they say Mexicans aren't Americans, and it's like, bro, you drew this line after I was already here.
You know what I mean?
Do you get it?
And it's the same thing with laws.
It's like, I was doing this and it was chill for fucking...
I had a whole civilization of doing this, of keeping it real over here.
And then you just, one with the stroke of a pen, the white man comes up and says, actually, that's a violation of natural law.
And I'm like, bitch, how have I been doing it?
Yeah, that's funny.
I don't remember stopping before.
But now we have the fucking authorities here.
You should have said so-called authorities.
I'm going to shoot out with the so-called authorities.
It's so scary, too, because like you said, you lived your life in a way that led to being in a shootout with a SWAT and your daughter's there?
That's like my one rule.
Listen, we all know that my life might end in this shootout with SWAT. We know that.
My kid's not going to be here.
Well, Tony, I think maybe he's just too good at making a video because...
His daughter being there might be the reason he's in a shootout with the SWAT. You know what I'm saying?
I like him casually throwing out...
Actually, I just hate...
I'm just an innocent man who hates gay people too much.
Who hates gay people and women's rights too much that they want to arrest me for it.
Also, I have my daughter here.
Who they're trying to take away.
I'm not supposed to.
They're going to say who can have a kid or not.
I'm allowed to have a kid.
If you take her, I'm going to get another kid.
That's what we do.
I love him.
Yeah, like casually slipping in there.
Oh, also, they're trying to take my daughter from me.
Oh, really, bro?
Wow, it's pretty crazy.
Even though you could cynically say, oh, he's front-loading it with all this culturally relevant bigotry.
To kind of elide over the fact that he has lost custody of his daughter or has maybe, I don't know, abused or harmed, put his daughter in harm in some way.
It seems like that's kind of what he's doing right now.
Right now.
If he hasn't before, it's happening right now.
We're watching it.
But he's trying to assuage his right-wing audience by being like, no, they're here because I'm a bigot.
They're here because I'm a huge asshole.
They're not aside for the daughter thing.
But yeah, I love it.
I think there's a little bit more to this.
Get me in trouble?
They are trying to take me to jail for a long time for getting in an argument with my wife.
Hell yeah.
I think he says a simple argument right here.
Hang on.
Which was a simple argument?
Yeah, dude.
That's like so-called authorities.
It was just a simple argument.
It wasn't just an argument.
It was a simple argument.
It was nothing more.
There were no threats.
There was no aggression.
Just a simple argument.
It's illegal to disagree with your wife now, I guess.
Happy wife, happy life.
When did that become a fucking constitutional amendment?
I didn't agree to that.
I didn't ratify that shit.
I mean, last time I got in, I was about to get into a simple argument with my wife, but then a tear gas canister came screaming through my window.
And so I stopped, but it was just going to be a simple argument.
I was looking up home repair shit and I was talking about removing this goddamn fucking adhesive in the mudroom and some guy was like, well, because the person was doing a project and so they were asking for advice removing the adhesive and one of the guys was like, well, is this what you want or is this what the new wife wants?
Because I had a new wife.
And it turned into a new project every three years when the new wife changed her mind all the time.
So now she's an old wife, and so she's whenever happy with what she's got.
But yeah, he was like she didn't like the tile, so we had to change the tile.
And then she wanted this, and she saw a new faucet.
And so in order to get the faucet to work, we had to change it.
And he's like, and I did all the work.
It's like, don't fucking do it then, man!
What are you complaining about?
You either like doing this stuff because it can be fun or whatever, but it's just so funny to be like, my wife made me redo our bathroom three times.
You're not going to get sympathy from me in any direction on that.
Hating your wife so much that you've got to vent about it.
He's a removal message board.
It is hard work.
And, like, either you're too much of a coward to talk to your wife about how unreasonable it is to redo the bathroom every three years, which is not...
I don't know.
I don't respect that.
Or you actually like doing it, but you want to blame the work on your wife or whatever, which I also don't respect.
Well, that's why I like doing it.
So I have something.
I like doing it because I love to have a reason because I'm like, because she's actually pretty wonderful.
She's really great, to be honest with you.
Like, love my life.
But I just, I need something to, like, keep that fire in me, that hatred for her, you know?
Yeah.
I've spoke with her since.
I love my wife.
I've spoke with her since.
I'm not going to say how that conversation went, but I do love her.
I love my daughter.
I'm so grateful for all Claude has blessed me with.
I'm grateful for...
You say Claude?
All Claude has blessed you with?
I think that might be your name.
I'm so grateful for all Claude has blessed me with.
Rough, dude.
That's a rough last message.
A brutal flub.
I don't know if you get to go to heaven when you flub God's name.
What did he say in the beginning?
SWAT team showed up and I'm now engaged in a shootout.
My state has been...
The number one abortion in gay...
Oh, he said segregated again.
I've been segregated against.
That's what I was trying to think.
Lots of little flubs through this man.
...to take me to jail for a long time.
Bless me with.
I'm grateful for my farm.
I'm grateful for everything.
All my friends and people who love me.
And I'm sorry this had to happen.
I really am, but...
Did it have to happen?
Did it?
Did it have to happen?
Because you did mention that going to jail as an option.
You did mention that part.
Yeah, and it was probably...
We probably wouldn't have even had to go to...
I mean, I don't know what's going on here, but I know that Donald Trump is no longer jailing fathers.
That's what I heard.
And so if you'd simply agreed to shared custody or whatever the hell was going on, you might have avoided any jail time whatsoever.
Also, you're a white guy with a farm.
You probably would have been fine.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, but he's a straight white guy.
I'm sorry, I forgot he's a straight white guy.
Damn it, never mind.
Well, wait till you see.
Do you know what he farms, Tony?
No.
All right, I'll show you once we're done with this video.
Backed into a corner with my political beliefs.
I haven't been able to find a job in a year, and my entire life has been just struggling for existence.
Me applying to work at Walmart or whatever and being like, What?
Donald Trump and Kanye West and Elon Musk made it cool to say the F and R slur, even in a job application.
I thought you said you wanted someone ambitious.
I want to be like Elon and Kanye.
I want to be like J.D. Vance's son, who has permission to make mistakes.
Fighting Democrats and trying to stand up for my country.
Oh, you're such a loser, bro.
I've been fighting Democrats by posting memes.
That's like literally what you mean, man.
You lost your daughter and you lost your life because of memes.
Struggling for existence.
Fighting Democrats and trying to stand up for my country.
Promise you the fucking...
Your bosses don't care about you fighting Democrats.
Your bosses care about...
I don't know, you being able to put it...
Set aside whatever the internet has done to your brain long enough to perform simple tasks that they can't yet automate away?
Yeah.
Let me ask you, if you're a law enforcement officer, why do you support the COVID vaccines?
Why do you support abortion?
Why do you support what isn't morally right?
Because that stuff's cool.
And that's where we agree with cops.
We don't agree with cops on most things.
We do agree with cops that abortion and the vaccine is cool.
Yeah, and I think it's really cool that you're making everyone do those things, cops.
Yeah, when is a cop ever enforced vaccine, man?
In fact, I can remember several, what do you call it, blue flus.
Work actions against vaccinations for cops.
Yeah, remember that?
And also, they lost big numbers, the cops did.
To the flu, yeah.
To the flu.
How are you fighting for a state system that protects illegal immigrants and pedophiles?
Crying and dying because of illegal immigrants.
Man.
You know, like...
Come on, man.
You have to somewhere in your brain know that it's not illegal immigrants' fault that you yelled at your wife and grabbed her arm or some shit, man.
That's not their fault, and you know it.
Man, this guy has fucking, like, Shihalud-sized brain worms.
Please explain this to me.
Please explain to me.
Somebody could have explained.
You could have gone to somebody who would have explained this to you, man.
I mean, maybe, you know, I guess you can't afford therapy or whatever.
You could have talked to an AI who could have explained this to you, maybe.
Maybe, yeah.
It might have been at least a little better than this.
I love, like, in my manifesto being like, so here's these problems I have.
Does anybody have any answers?
Oh, never mind.
I'm dead.
Never mind.
I'm in a shootout with the cops.
Why abortion is still legal in my state?
Why are the babies dying?
Why?
Why is this legal up till the time of conception?
That's why I'm fighting.
I'm fighting for the babies.
I'm fighting for the unborn.
And I'm fighting for righteousness and Christianity to be restored in this country.
Christ is Lord.
God bless.
And I'm sorry to you, my parents.
I love you, my parents.
I love you, my wife.
I love you, my daughter.
I love you, all my beloved friends and business partners.
And God bless you.
I'm sorry it had to end this way.
So, I don't know.
Shocking stuff, honestly.
Did you catch that last flow?
What did he say?
Abortion's legal up until the point of conception.
Oh my god, bro.
Oh, brother.
That's the opposite.
Man.
Sorry, dude.
You actually can't even abort anything if it hasn't been conceived yet.
Nobody's going to be able to make sense of this and put it into action, bro.
If abortion was illegal after conception, that means abortion's illegal.
That's a W for you.
That's true.
I just, I think...
Maybe Donald Trump's going to look at this and be like, this doesn't make any fucking sense.
Get this shit off my desk.
You know?
Yeah, what the fuck is they talking about?
Man.
Okay, so let me show you what he farms, Tony.
I can't believe you haven't seen this.
Here's a tweet from Farmer Riggs, who's a farmer.
Raising the only cannabis company that is for we the people.
Truly the only brand that doesn't make us conservative stoners feel inferior.
Space, period, space.
The only weed brand I will ever support.
God bless this company.
And it's a photo for Donald Trump Seeds.
Man, it's funny because I look at this guy, I'm like, this guy looks like a grower.
That's what this guy looks like.
This guy looks like he grows weed.
That's exactly the fitting.
That's why he's wearing the jacket indoors.
He's wearing the jacket indoors because he grows weed.
He's got a beanie with a little curly Q's coming out.
This guy's listening to Incubus doing his farming back there.
A little shitty beard.
A little slightly stupid going off.
He's a 28-year-old with an 18-year-old wife and their daughters, too.
The fight was because he bought a $20,000 glass piece.
But babe, look.
It has him as a pickle and not as a pickle.
It's both of them in one bomb.
The fight was he was listening to too many Dredge albums throughout the week.
I forgot about Dredge.
She was like, I know, I get it, El Cilio, it's the sky, it's great, alright?
No, stop.
Wasn't this in a, it feels like we're listening to, it feels like we're watching a fucking perpetual car commercial.
Man, and like, dude, do you not know that if Donald Trump were to decide to see this, all you're going to do is get sued.
That's all that's going to happen here.
Truly the only brand that doesn't make us conservative stoners feel inferior.
I am sick of society making conservative stoners feel inferior, Tony.
Yeah, it's not cool.
It's not cool because stoners, you free your mind.
You should free your politics too.
Your politics should be free, I think.
Like, what are you doing in these stoner things where your conservative values are, like, bleeding over?
Because we've always known this is the place where you're actually not supposed to get scrutinized.
But the thing is, is every single time, you know, you, like, pass the blunt, you're like, man, they keep killing these babies.
And everyone's like, yo, shut up.
We're just trying to smoke some weed.
What are you doing?
It's like, you know who the biggest racist of all was, right?
Margaret Sanger, bro.
Did you know that?
You're living your life in a way that's exposing yourself, dude.
You can't just go grow weed, smoke weed, hang out with your friends.
Your priorities suck.
Yeah, so he was also tweeting explanations.
Farmer Riggs says, It seems like most real men think...
Their kids should be raised by the woman anyway.
I don't think you lose many superficial masculinity points if your wife is raising your kids, especially if you're separated.
I think that actually shows that you're more alpha, that you don't take shit from anybody, including your partner in life.
Yeah, I think that's the way to go.
Man, I like how he's trying to make it seem like it's the protecting kids angle.
Yeah, well, I mean, these people are pretty...
Pretty big freaks about kids, about their kids.
I don't know if he's playing up.
I mean, it seems like that's what the whole fucking argument was actually about, was about him losing custody over his kid.
Yeah.
And I mean, maybe he feels like because he's seen too many reactionary dad, you know, dad, disgruntled dads of daughters memes or whatever, that he just, yeah, felt like he had to die.
Rather than go to divorce court.
He's probably got his daughter taken away because he probably has a bunch of chemicals laying around his...
Any number of reasons.
He's got a fucking gun in the house, bro.
Does he keep it locked up?
Is he actually responsible with it?
Probably not.
No, he has to protect his field.
Another tweet.
What would you do if someone tried to take your daughter?
Question mark, exclamation point, question mark.
What would you do?
What would you do, right?
I would fucking do anything.
I would slide through a gap in a giant's mouth and a giant's teeth.
I would swim through a river of ooze and dig a flag out of somebody's nose for my fucking daughter.
How about you?
That's right.
I get covered in snot.
I don't care about the slime.
Would you let them take her or would you fight with every ounce in you to keep her with her rightful father?
Space, four question marks.
What would you do?
Well, I'll tell you what I personally do is I make a lot of choices in my life that make sure that I still don't lose those rights.
I don't engage in a lot of illegal things, illicit activities, things like that.
Just so I can still be around her.
I don't even speed.
Right.
You're risking a lot just being on this podcast.
It's true.
Just doing this podcast is an insanely dangerous thing for me to do, but especially you.
Well, I mean, luckily for us, we are pro-gay and abortion rights, so luckily they just send me money.
We're part of the cathedral or the synagogue of Satan or the longhouse.
That's who we are.
Yeah, yeah.
So we're safe with them, totally.
Yeah, I think something could be said for maybe living to fight another day to see your daughter.
Yeah, that's a good thing to do.
Best case scenario, you shoot every cop there who's immediately on your property trying to...
Take your daughter.
You kill every one of them with a single bullet.
And maybe none of them have even radioed for help yet because they don't know what they're up against, right?
Yeah.
Now you're just going to be living out of motels with your daughter for the rest of your life?
Yeah, you didn't really think about it.
She's not going to like that.
They were probably going to take your daughter away for a minute, but instead they took you away forever.
Yeah, they won.
It's not a very masculine thing to get owned by the feds.
I'll just say that.
It happens, and it's out of our control when it does, but it doesn't make you look strong or whatever.
Unfortunately.
Farmer Riggs says, yeah, if they did not try to take my newborn daughter, none of this would have happened.
And then he says, remember me as someone who loves my country, loves the Bible, and loves my daughter.
Remember me as a man who fought for the unborn babies with all my might.
Fake shit, fake shit, fake shit, fake shit.
It's funny to say love the Bible.
It's like Trump hugging the flag.
What's the symbol?
What's the metaphor?
Just give me the metaphor.
I don't need the real thing, the relationship with God, or even the text of the Bible.
What's a condensed...
Object that I can give like a fist bump to, you know?
So what do you think about the Bible?
I love it.
Love the fucking Bible.
Love the Bible.
Big fan.
That's a big place in my heart for the Bible.
Remember me as a man who fought for the right of unborn babies with all my might.
No, you didn't.
No, I'm sorry, bud.
This feels like a George Costanza move.
He's getting gunned down by the feds for a totally different thing, and he's trying to spin it into a heroic act about saving the babies or whatever for his own benefit.
This is a pretty sick Heaven Hail Mary, though.
You've lived your whole life being a piece of shit.
Kind of just like a bad person, you know, and like, okay, I'm about to die right now.
What if I convince God that I was doing this for all the unborn babies?
Yeah, those were actually baby killers.
Hey, God, you saw the post, right?
Did you see my...
Let me DM to you, okay?
I made it before I even died.
You know, before I even got into, like, the shootout.
That's, like, evidence and shit, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Hello?
That's submittable, right?
Yeah, and here's the last one.
Farmer Riggs, years of transgenders harassing me and abortion being essentially a sacrament in my state, space, period, space.
I have to stand my ground and fight for my religion here, space, period, space.
Christ is Lord, I am sorry, space, period, space.
So his argument is that trans people made him too crazy.
I mean, the last thing I expected from this story...
Of, you know, an awful tragedy.
Because, you know, any time that somebody does get gunned down by the police, it sucks, you know?
I didn't realize this was actually a W for trans rights.
I did not see that part.
Maybe he is going to heaven.
The silver lining is rich.
Maybe God will be like, well, you know, everything else you did was bad, but you did kind of, you know, give a W to the trans community.
So, welcome home.
He forgets that everyone's L is someone's W. This is not good.
You're admitting you got bullied by trans people into committing suicide by cop.
Yeah.
As vicious as the attacks, the online campaigns and in real life campaigns against trans people is, you're saying they did that to you.
That had to only be online, right?
That had to only be online in response to whatever terrible shit you were saying.
I don't think that trans people were showing up to your farm and harassing you.
Calling your shit mid.
Calling your shit dirt weed.
He's like a culture warrior guy.
His account's been scrubbed now.
I took all these screenshots before his account got deleted.
I didn't look like into his farther back posting history, but he's a culture warrior.
He's got a fucking Donald Trump brand, just like the bottom of the barrel, lowest of the low.
Trump is my personality.
Type moron.
Guaranteed he's been picking fights with trans people online for years and years.
And so any sort of harassment he got, I'm sure, was well warranted.
I'm sure was 99% defensive, if not 100. Yeah, and the Christ is Lord thing, I mean, that's not like a phrase that I heard a lot growing up, even in religious communities.
I think maybe he's referencing Christ is King, which is, you know, the Nick Fuentes, like, young fascist call to arms.
And it's just, yeah, it's hard to really find anything sympathetic about this guy other than he was, like you said, Tony killed by the feds and killed by the cops, which probably wasn't necessary.
But at the same time, when you're bragging about getting into a shoot, he probably took some shots at him.
Yeah, he didn't say shootout.
That's what he's going for.
But it's still just, I would say, the fact that heavily armed federal officers is how we deal with every problem in this country.
It's kind of no surprise that's what he was expecting.
And that's what he was prepared for.
And might have even...
Influenced him and his personality to get a fucking rifle in the first place, you know?
I mean, honestly, the one thing I think people should take out of this is if you ever see one of those deals on those collapsible tripods that hold your phone, it's one of the best 20 bucks you can buy because if he had a tripod...
You know, he might have been able to be more active.
We might have been able to see more.
It would have been a more effective post, I think.
Do you think he got got because he had one hand in his front facing camera?
I think that's exactly what it was.
I think he had one face.
Yeah, he could have done this better.
He could have done this better.
I didn't even think about that, but I mean, I know you were joking, but you might be onto something.
Yeah.
He is just holding his camera.
Yeah, he's probably tweeting.
He's probably looking down.
Every shot to check his Twitter feed to see what kind of traction he was getting.
And he wasn't getting a whole lot.
That was kind of the crazy thing about seeing it.
The video I saw of the original video, it only had like 200 likes.
Yeah, that's what about all these have.
Only about 100 comments.
It didn't even make the impact you were hoping for.
You did not help any unborn babies.
Yeah.
One of the more minion death cult things I've seen in a while in a sea of minion death cult stuff.
But again, a lot of these people just kind of want to die.
It really seems like they want to die to give their lives meaning.
When you erode a society enough to where people don't get fulfilled by community or work or...
Pleasure or hobbies or anything like that, and their minds get scrambled by billionaires with social media platforms, the world becomes a lot less, I don't know, nice to live in.
And you don't have any of those positive things to pour yourself into, like community, like a network of supportive infrastructure that we could be building in this country, both emotional and...
Intellectual and physical.
So it's just all negative.
It's just, well, I can't live for anything because there's no point to my life.
There's nothing I can do with my life.
But maybe I can die for something.
And it's sad to see.
I understand.
I don't know.
Maybe it's a guy thing.
I'm usually not a gender essentialist about this.
But I've felt the pull to being an American man.
An American guy, you feel very strongly the pull towards, you know, great man theory, special boy narrative that's like pervasive throughout our culture.
It's, you know, Harry Potter, it's Dune, it's every single young adult fantasy pretty much in the last, you know, whatever, 50 years.
And a lot of times if it's not, it's just because they swapped the gender or whatever and it's still the same like individualist.
Great, great person coming to realize their specialness and their greatness.
And in a world where there's not a lot of, you know, they kind of grind that shit down, I'm not surprised to see people still trying to achieve it in more radical and dangerous ways.
Yeah, not a surprise, unfortunately.
And it's super tragic because I do have that really basic thing in me where a lot of the reason why I'm not dead is because I do have a kid to raise.
And that's just to be so poisoned to not even see that part.
Like, hey, maybe I could swallow some of these things, I believe, a little bit and just kind of hold them tight just so I can maybe see my kid graduate kindergarten.
Right, yeah.
Just being that poisoned, you're just like...
Well, the thing is, I think out of that comes really real positive things.
Even if you're, quote, swallowing your pride, or even if you're making compromises with a world that is awful, or with a country that's awful, or a system that's awful...
If you're doing it in service of something that's real and good, like raising a kid, like staying alive to raise your kid, or, you know, like salting your workplace.
You work for a shitty company because of capitalism and you have to be there, yada, yada, yada, but you use it to talk to your coworkers and de-radicalize them away from this fucking, this insane, racist, capitalist political system.
Like, that's all we can do.
This isn't an argument for incrementalism as opposed to for accelerationism because all that stuff is going to happen.
All that stuff is going to happen either way.
All you can personally do is incremental things because you're just an increment.
We, of course, need to organize and become more than just increments and become an actual force, but that is a form of organizing, is doing these incremental things.
In our everyday lives, where we have purchase, where we have leverage, like in the workplace, like in your school, like in your friend group, like in whatever.
In your family.
Like in your family.
And again, I just generally like offering an alternative to...
The declining status quo.
That it's not just a return to the status quo that nobody wanted to fight for in the first place, you know?
We can make each other's lives better.
We can.
Absolutely.
You just have to not...
This guy is so far gone, right?
I can't just say, you know, you have to want to do it or whatever.
This guy's beyond that.
He's like...
But just...
It can't be negative.
Your response to this being negative, being about death, being about martyrdom, that's not going to make the world a better place.
No, no.
At least it's not about your death.
Don't make it about your death.
Because even on the left, there's people that are radicalized to this degree where they're willing to give their lives for their political beliefs.
Just because I agree with your political beliefs, just because I'm on your side doesn't mean I think it's worth giving your life for.
It's going to be very, very contingent on what the situation is.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not saying there's no reason to sacrifice yourself because that's obviously one of the greatest communal things you could do is sacrifice yourself for your family or for your community or whatever.
This shit is like...
It's mental illness.
It's like you're going out in a blaze of glory.
It's just kind of like a form of narcissism that we maybe should be pulling.
I'm not saying things aren't extreme right now because they are, but that's too far in almost every case, I think.
Remember, the thing about martyrdom, though, was martyrdom is contingent on empathy.
And you're really cashing in on an empathetic world to see your tragedy and make change on that.
And unfortunately, that's not going to happen for an individual.
Yeah, and there has to be a way of people coming together already established for a martyrdom to even affect anything.
There's just so much work to do.
And it's better to do positive examples of that work than...
I don't know.
I see...
I'm not saying tone down the rhetoric or whatever.
I'm just saying I think we shouldn't be continuing this meme of dying for a cause in the abstract.
It seems like there's a desire for violence, I guess is what I'm saying.
And I'm not saying there isn't already existing violence that people are morally defensively defending themselves from or whatever.
But we need to be careful because we're all American.
A lot of us are Americans and we have the violence fucking bred into us where we think that that's just...
The answer, you know?
And it's more often than not, I wouldn't say the way people imagine it, at least.
It's not that the answer.
The answer is not one man doing or one woman doing such like strategic good violence that they achieve their cause or whatever.
Yeah, this is going to be an Ocean's 13 type thing.
So get a team assembled.
That's what you're saying, right?
Sure.
Not everything is not going to work as well as Luigi Mangione's shit worked.
That's a one in a million thing.
Again, me saying all this is not going to stop it from happening or something.
I'm just like, I think it's good to be positive about these.
Try to build a positive world because that's inspiring.
That's what's going to make sense to more people.
Like you said earlier, a long time ago, you live to fight another day.
That's pretty important.
I think human lives are valuable.
I think human lives are valuable.
I don't even mean that in a sentimental way.
We need people.
We need people to fucking do good in this world.
We're talking about heavy stuff here.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.
