Meaninglessness And Protest
00:09:12
|
|
| This is quite a time in America. | |
| This is exactly like the post-George Floyd riots. | |
| There is a percentage of American young people that want to riot. | |
| It gives their meaningless lives meaning. | |
| That is all it is about. | |
| It gives them community. | |
| They have no community. | |
| They have nothing. | |
| Virtually none are married. | |
| They don't have anything. | |
| They don't have religion. | |
| They don't have marriage. | |
| They don't have meaning. | |
| They don't have a country that they adore or even identify with. | |
| I read to you yesterday about how many campuses they substituted the Palestinian flag for the American flag and cheered. | |
| And some foolish non-Jews think it's a Jewish issue. | |
| It's like foolish non-Jews thought Hitler was a Jewish issue. | |
| They hate you, dear American Christian, dear American who loves America. | |
| They hate you just as much as they hate Israel. | |
| It has nothing to do with Israel. | |
| It's an excuse to riot and give their empty lives meaning. | |
| That's what it is about. | |
| The search for meaning is the greatest search in human life. | |
| People need meaning more than they need anything but food, even more than sex. | |
| As powerful as the sexual drive is, there are people who have little or no sex and are happy. | |
| There is no one with little or no meaning who is happy. | |
| The left has created this chaos and the meaninglessness. | |
| People with meaningless lives are leftists because the left fills the void. | |
| That's what I have spoken about all of my life. | |
| It was obvious to me when I was at Columbia in the 1970s, a half century ago, the same stuff. | |
| They're just more brazen today. | |
| They used to take over dean's offices and president's offices. | |
| Now they take over whole campuses. | |
| And the faculty, or many in the faculty, support them. | |
| One of the reasons that presidents and deans are cowards is because they're afraid of their faculty. | |
| There's already a push to get rid of the president of Barnard College because she has Demanded that they disband their encampment at the college. | |
| And I believe she has called in the police. | |
| It's so amazing how you can desecrate our university. | |
| You can do all sorts of damage to Hamilton Hall at Columbia. | |
| But we can't call in the police for reasons that I'm not quite sure. | |
| About half of the protesters, by the way, are not even students. | |
| They're the people who, in many cases, organized George Floyd riots. | |
| Let me read to you from this New York Times piece, because this is a big giveaway. | |
| For many, the issues are closer to home and at the same time much bigger and broader in their eyes. | |
| The Gaza conflict is a struggle for justice linked to issues that seem far afield. | |
| They say they are motivated by policing, mistreatment of indigenous peoples, discrimination toward black Americans. | |
| And the impact of global warming. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's what's motivating them. | |
| Wow. | |
| So the Palestine cause is a cause of loathing of America and the West. | |
| That's what it is. | |
| You can deny it because it's... | |
| Easy to believe what one wants to believe as opposed to what is true. | |
| Struggle for justice. | |
| Discrimination toward black Americans. | |
| Wow. | |
| It's really rough to be a black American because of white supremacy. | |
| Right? | |
| Really rough. | |
| So four million blacks who moved here from Africa to the Caribbean in the last few decades must be just stupid. | |
| Moved to a place where you will be discriminated against. | |
| It's a gigantic lie. | |
| The left is the world of the lie. | |
| For men give birth. | |
| To discrimination toward black Americans as some endemic feature of black American life. | |
| Let me ask you a question. | |
| If you were to apply to almost any job in this country and you could put down race and thereby maximize your chance of being hired. | |
| Do you think it would be better to put down black or white? | |
| In interviews, the language of many protesters was also distinctive. | |
| Ah, this is so important. | |
| Students freely salted their explanations with academic terms like intersectionality. | |
| A victory for the left, my friends. | |
| This is perfect. | |
| They are brainwashed, frightening, zombie-like, loathsome creatures. | |
| That's what the left has produced. | |
| These are the dead walking, or the walking dead. | |
| Intersectionality, colonialism, and imperialism. | |
| Yes, where exactly is imperialism taking place today? | |
| Try and think. | |
| Hmm. | |
| Colonialism. | |
| Wow. | |
| All to make their case that the plight of Palestinians is a result of global power structures that thrive on bias and oppression. | |
| Nothing beats feeling oppressed. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know how often I will ask Sean in the morning, how are you, Sean? | |
| And he'll say, feel great, I'm oppressed. | |
| The delight in his eyes, there's a light in his eyes over being oppressed. | |
| The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and he's oppressed. | |
| I am repeating his words. | |
| Quote, they quote Katie Roof, a female, shocking, a first-year student at Cornell University. | |
| As an environmentalist, we pride ourselves on viewing the world through intersectional lenses. | |
| Woe unto the parent whose child says intersectional lenses. | |
| You have lost your beloved child. | |
| Your child has become a zombie. | |
| No normal human being uses the term intersectional lenses. | |
| Climate justice is an everyone issue. | |

A Happier Human

|
| It affects every dimension of identity. | |
| God, is she pathetic? | |
| Oh, it's so sad. | |
| Yeah. | |
| 75 years ago, she'd be preoccupied with her studies and getting married. | |
| Might have attended church that Sunday. | |
| Would have been a happier, much happier human being. | |
