Siblings Being Horrible to Each Other
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Years ago you mentioned how siblings are horrible to each other.
Well that's annoying.
Years ago you mentioned how siblings are horrible to each other.
Every sibling, even those peacefully parent, every single sibling.
No, I've said repeatedly that even according to standard definitions, 50% of sibling relationships are abusive.
Please, please, please, when you're out there in the world talking about things I say, don't fuck it up.
Just, I'm begging you.
I'm begging you.
I would rather you be accurate about what I say than donate to my show.
Because if you're out there in the world saying, oh yeah, Steph says that siblings are horrible to each other, You are fucking things up for me.
Not just a little bit, but actually quite a bit.
And maybe this is just something you just typo'd here, but all I can go with is what you have, what you're saying here, right?
Siblings are horrible to each other?
Nope.
Some siblings?
Yes.
I mean, I have friends.
I have a friend who has three sons and a daughter.
They're so helpful with each other.
They really get along well.
They teach each other skills.
They're all good at different things.
They get along.
I know lots of families where the siblings are really good to each other.
So, I'm not trying to be mean to you, and I'm just I'm not trying to be mean to you, and I'm just using you as this, because it seems like every single live stream, somebody horribly mischaracterizes my
And I'm just concerned that if you're out there in the world saying, oh yeah, Steph says siblings are just horrible to each other.
It's like, that's not what I say.
That's not what I say.
All right.
And of course, remember that the people who are calling into my show are often people who have...
You wouldn't want to get the general health of the world from staring at the ER, right?
The emergency room.
So, the people who call into my show who have problems with their siblings are people who are calling into my show because they have problems with their siblings.
They're not representative of the world as a whole.
So, anyway.
Years ago, you mentioned how siblings are horrible to each other.
I realize I've been neglectful.
However, my sister is actively trying to destroy me.
She used the power she has over her mother to ostracize me from family, denying me to visit my mother in hospital and going to police because of a text message that wasn't threatening.
Luckily, the police said, go away.
Karen, it feels like attempted murder.
How does one process this?
Call in at freedom or freedomain.com slash call.
I feel, you know, it's funny, for the first time in like 17 years, I'm actually seeing the end of call-in queues.
So if, you know, I still have room.
I mean, I know in the fall people get kind of busy and all of that, but freedomain.com slash...
Call in or freedomain.com slash call.
You can do a call in.
But she has got you away from a family.
So let's look at this in general, right?
I realize I'd been neglectful.
So, why does your sister want to destroy you?
Now, if it's just you've been neglectful, I would question your objectivity, right?
Why does your sister hate you?
Now, of course, it's not like everyone who's hated, right, has done bad things or immoral things.
You can be hated for your virtues as much as for your vices.
In fact, the world is generally far less tolerant of virtue than it is Vice.
So if you think, well, I'm always concerned, sorry, let me break that.
I'm always concerned when the story is so perfectly asymmetrical.
Well, I've just been neglectful, but she's just a monster who's trying to destroy me.
I just didn't pay her quite enough attention, but she just, like, that seems like a narrative to me.
I could be wrong.
Could be wrong.
Seems like a narrative to me.
She's the power she has over our mother.
Okay, so now what are you saying that the mother, your mother...
Has no agency, no choice, your mother has no responsibility for your sister and how she turned out?
Why does she have so much power over your mother?
Right?
Your mother is responsible for your sister.
Your mother raised your sister, assuming that she did.
So, your mother raised, if you're right, that the sister's trying to destroy you, if your mother raised a woman who's trying to destroy you, and the woman who is this corrupt and evil, as you say, right, trying to get you going to the police.
So, your mother raised your sister who's trying to destroy you, why would you want anything to do with this clan at all?
I mean, people who drive others away from you are doing you a favor.
People who are driving others away from you are doing you a favor, right?
If you're dating a girl and someone in your family just gets her to break up with you, they're doing you a favor.
That which is rotten should not last.
And the sooner it stops lasting, the better in terms of this relationship, right?
So, if you have a girlfriend and she's so susceptible to being manipulated and bullied or bribed or threatened or whatever, that she just ditches you with very little pressure, then she would never be able to stick through you or stick by you through the endless vicissitudes of a moral life.
Like, if you want to actually manifest in the world, you have to do good.
When you do good, you get attacked.
So you need to purge your environment of uncertain companions before you go into battle, because you're going into battle if you're doing good, and you need staunch fucking companions by your side.
You need hard-eyed marines who will leave no one behind.
If you're going into battle, you need people who are as solid as a fucking rock and who will watch your back like a hawk, who will never doubt, who will never back down, who will love and protect you as you love and protect them from here to fucking hell.
Because hell is where you're going when you try to do good in the world.
The scalding, fiery Morgoth whips of doom will try to strangle you on a daily basis, and you need people who will believe in you no matter what, and you need people you will believe in no matter what.
So if you want to do good in this world, if someone can talk someone around you into just fucking off, let them fuck off.
In fact, encourage them to fuck off, right?
So, what a value is lost if you're not allowed to see this kind of family.
Let's say you're a good guy.
You were just neglectful.
Let's say your sister is exactly the monster you portray her to be, and everyone listens to the monster rather than you.
You're an innocent victim.
I'll take your statement.
Face value.
You're an innocent victim.
And everyone listens to the Monstrous Sister and not you.
Oh no!
I can't see people who are easily manipulated by sociopaths and psychopaths and evildoers of every striving hue.
Oh no!
I've been kicked out of the club of evil.
Oh no!
The Church of Satan won't let me join.
Oh no!
People have prevented me from being pushed into a volcano.
Oh no!
Like, celebrate it!
What are you mourning?
What are you mourning?
Being kicked out of a Klan?
Easily susceptible, controllable, and manipulated by a gross evildoer, as you say?
Woo!
dodged.
Dude, did you see Taylor Swift coming to downtown Toronto with the police escort ushering a I could not believe I was seeing.
I don't even know if Trump has that level of escort.
Yeah, they shut down the highways.
Right?
Taylor Swift is an antinatalist cult.
She has to be protected by the depopulation advocates at all costs.
I didn't quite understand that five years ago when I put out that famous tweet.
But yeah, Taylor Swift is at the center of an antinatalist cult so that women who give toothy head won't give birth.
