00:00:08.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Friday.
00:00:13.000And tonight we're just going to have sort of more of a casual show, probably a shorter show, because I just got finished with a big debate, three hour debate.
00:02:11.000Alex Stein, Brittany from Politically Provoked, as well as Alex Hake from Jesse Lee Peterson Network and Show.
00:02:21.000And it was us versus Hunter Avalon, this guy, Doobie, and Stardust, who is some girl, Twitch streamer, and then this other guy whose name I don't remember.
00:02:45.000Debate, and the topic was if there is a war against men.
00:02:49.000So, you know, I was planning on just doing a normal show tonight, and I was out and about.
00:02:54.000I was, you know, running my errands and everything.
00:02:58.000And I got an email from that James who runs Modern Day Debate and said, Hey, if you see this in time, do you want to pop on the debate at 7 o'clock?
00:03:30.000I think the topic, though, is a little bit, you know, some of these topics, it's interesting to me because I've been doing the show for five years and I feel like it's important to show progression.
00:03:43.000I've been doing the show for a long time, so I feel like I don't want to be talking about the same things.
00:03:49.000Today, that I was talking about five years ago.
00:03:52.000And so, five years ago, I was talking about things like we support the Second Amendment and we're against foreign wars and very basic stuff.
00:04:03.000And here we are five years later, and I feel like we've got to show some progression.
00:04:08.000And so, the things that I normally talk about on the show, and I don't mean to sound like condescending, but the things that I talk about on the show are a little bit of a higher level of analysis than what you're going to see on TV.
00:04:20.000You know, like I watched Steven Crowder the other week on stream, and I like Steven Crowder.
00:04:26.000I think he's one of the better guys, he's one of the better offerings for conservative media.
00:04:33.000But I'm watching his show, and his show is like making fun of pronouns and trans.
00:04:59.000So I try to do shows that give you a perspective that you didn't think about or that I haven't talked about.
00:05:06.000And so it's always interesting, but I think it's useful when you debate with the other side or with other people on the right to get back to kind of the basics, get back to fundamentals, and kind of have a discussion on a different level, which is this is there a war against men?
00:05:22.000Which for everybody watching this, it's sort of a foregone conclusion.
00:05:55.000And so, whenever I go on these panels, it's sort of an adjustment, it's a little bit different.
00:06:01.000To go on debate with left wing people that say, actually, the society is still sexist and must be corrected for historical discrimination against women.
00:06:12.000And you kind of got to work your way back from the beginning, like, hang on, how do we get here?
00:09:28.000You know, you could shit videos like that out of your butthole every day, thousands of times until the end of the universe, and you would have a wide range of ages and types of people that will show up every day to watch that.
00:11:37.000In my opinion, this, you know, the war against men idea.
00:11:42.000That is not how I would necessarily characterize it.
00:11:48.000You know, the war against men, the war against Christmas.
00:11:51.000You know, I hear these kinds of things and I just cringe.
00:11:57.000I don't even really know where to begin to address something like that.
00:12:02.000But to the extent that it's a commentary on how men are being attacked, that's true in the sense that men are being attacked by the society and that men are failing in the society.
00:12:15.000And there are certainly people in the society that don't like men.
00:12:21.000And want to put men down or want to put men in their place or knock them down a few pegs, you know, that is going on.
00:12:28.000And I think that all of that is really sort of indisputable.
00:12:32.000And it's almost difficult for me to even debate with these people because it's like, do we really need to compile?
00:12:37.000To me, it just seems like such a chore and such a redundancy to compile a list of, you know, do I have to go on television and create a study of all the commercials with an anti male theme?
00:12:50.000You know, like, do we have to do that?
00:12:53.000Do I have to go on the television and create a spreadsheet of here's all the advertisements on network television that feature a stupid, foolish man and a wily, you know, coy, cunning woman?
00:13:42.000I've gotten to the point where I'm almost just not even interested in those kinds of conversations.
00:13:47.000And it's probably to my detriment because I know that, like, a mass consumer political audience wants to hear conservatives go out there and make the case for why feminazis are running the show.
00:14:00.000But to me, it's like if you don't see that and you can't grasp that, it's almost like not even worth debating because you just don't get it, you know?
00:14:10.000But occasionally it's good to revisit some of these things, I guess, and get into it.
00:14:13.000But at this point, you look around, and if you can't see the anti male hand, which is a female hand everywhere, I don't know what to tell you.
00:14:26.000The emasculating, anti male, and particularly against male behaviors.
00:14:33.000And male characteristics, which would be strength, power, dominance, risk taking, creativity, leadership.
00:14:44.000We have got a, and it's not just about female representation, and it's not just about men being put in their place to correct.
00:14:52.000It's about these kind of feminizing characteristics and behaviors which are being incentivized and rewarded.
00:15:01.000Which is to say, there used to be this experience.
00:15:05.000And there used to be this thoroughly male culture of be tough, be strong, be a man, you know, stuff happens, the world's not fair, life isn't fair.
00:15:20.000And the society used to reward male behaviors a sort of roguishness, courage, valor, strength.
00:15:30.000And of course, when you have strength and power, you've got abuse and you've got excess.
00:15:35.000And sometimes you've got what you would call bullying or dominance.
00:15:39.000And society used to tolerate that to an extent, used to tolerate some of that because these are things that are associated with these male characteristics.
00:15:56.000They want people to be vulnerable rather than guarded or stoic.
00:16:01.000They want people to be weak rather than strong.
00:16:04.000They want people to be sort of mild mannered and empathetic and sensitive rather than courageous and brash and outgoing, extroverted.
00:16:13.000It's about these two different energies.
00:16:14.000And this is a very, this is something that even if you're not religious, even if you don't believe in Adam and Eve and the Bible and all of that, this is something that almost all ancient and even current societies recognize there is such a thing as male and female.
00:16:31.000There is a male and female sex, but there is also something that goes beyond sex, which is male and female.
00:16:37.000There is a lunar and a solar, there is a terrestrial and a cosmic, there is a.
00:16:45.000There is a real difference in these kinds of energies.
00:16:48.000And you could call that a spiritual thing.
00:16:51.000It certainly has a biological expression.
00:16:53.000It maybe has a supernatural or metaphysical reality.
00:16:57.000But we all know that there are two kinds of things.
00:17:01.000You could call it being and becoming, you could call it the sort of the universe and the master of the universe.
00:17:10.000You know, all philosophers wrote about this in different ways.
00:17:13.000That's a very real thing that's going on.
00:17:16.000And society is clearly drifting into the female category in its values, behaviors, even sort of in its spirituality.
00:17:29.000And so, insofar as that constitutes a war against men, you know, that's all very real and that's going on.
00:17:38.000But again, I just feel like that's so out there, I don't even feel sometimes like making the case for it.
00:17:47.000Because I don't know how people don't see it.
00:17:51.000Like I said, you can't participate in society without seeing it in some way.
00:17:58.000And I tried to bring it up in the debate at one point.
00:18:01.000I said, even you look at something like Star Wars, and they got the girl Jedi.
00:18:06.000And how could you at once say, well, women are being socialized to be mild mannered when the biggest blockbuster films in the world are clearly being written with an agenda in mind?
00:18:30.000Okay, then why are the biggest blockbuster films, like Ghostbusters or Star Wars or Captain Marvel or whatever, why are they all female leads?
00:18:39.000Why are they all badass, kick ass, take no names, female leads?
00:18:45.000And you see it in higher education and you see it in politics.
00:18:49.000You know, Donald Trump, even Donald Trump, when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, had to replace her with a woman judge.
00:18:58.000And even in the conversation, even in the debate about the war on men, you got people on the side of the men saying, well, and it hurts women too.
00:19:08.000And don't get me wrong, I like Alex and I like Brittany, but it almost proves the point.
00:19:13.000They were almost proving the point by within 15, 20 minutes of the debate starting, they're arguing on behalf of women, saying that the war against men actually hurts women.
00:19:24.000If that doesn't tell you the state of things, like the rest, I don't know what does.
00:19:33.000I almost just feel like it's such a chore to even get into that.
00:19:36.000I almost feel bad explaining it because it just feels so trite and redundant, but there are still obviously a lot of people out there who don't get it.
00:19:50.000And I guess, and me and Doobie talked about this, maybe the fundamental difference was something like this.
00:19:58.000We believe that prior to recent developments, the natural order prevailed, which is that men and women had their separate domains.
00:20:11.000And that is, generally speaking, the order that prevailed in almost all societies in almost all times, which was men as the fighters and the kings and the priests and the leaders and the hunters, and the women as the moms and the weavers and the caretakers and the rest.
00:20:31.000And so I guess we would regard that as normal.
00:20:41.000What's happening now is artificially changing that and making something unnatural.
00:20:46.000I guess the other side would say it's the reverse.
00:20:48.000They would say that the order that prevailed in all times and all societies is unnatural, unnatural bias, prejudice against women, sexism, patriarchy.
00:21:01.000And it's up to, and this is, I talked about this earlier this week, this is what makes them progressive.
00:21:08.000This is what differentiates them from us.
00:21:11.000When they say progressive, they mean that.
00:21:13.000You know, maybe all of humankind was like that, but it's wrong.
00:22:32.000We, the enlightened people that know the real good thing, the way that things really should be, we've got to go out there as activists, use power to stop that and introduce the kind of thinking that we think is best.
00:22:46.000And that's the fundamental difference in mindset.
00:22:49.000You know, because we could get, well, a study said that businesses with women perform.
00:22:55.000It's about the nature of men and women, and flowing from the nature of women and men, it's about what should be their role in the society, how should men and women relate to each other in the society, what should be their respective responsibilities and privileges, and then how should we structure the society based on that.
00:23:19.000And on the other side, because they're not religious and because they're not conservative in the classical sense, They say, well, they say something like because they're not religious, that everybody is born a blank slate.
00:23:33.000And they say that the differences between men and women are trivial and arbitrary.
00:23:38.000And they say that as a consequence, if there's differences between men and women, those were constructed socially.
00:23:44.000At some point in the past, that's a result of like, it's a bad habit.
00:23:48.000It's an arbitrary bad habit that women were taught to be a certain way.
00:23:52.000Because if there wasn't teaching, if there wasn't ignorance, men and women would be born with these sort of arbitrary differences, but basically the same and would grow up to be interchangeable and equal.
00:24:06.000And if you don't believe in religion, you believe that men and women weren't designed a certain way with respect to natures.
00:24:13.000And if you're not a conservative, then you think that there's nothing really valid about what is being prescribed to men and women.
00:24:19.000Even if you don't believe in religion, you'll take as a starting point the way things are and you'll ascribe no value to things being the way they are, being the result of history.
00:24:30.000So you'll say something like, you know, well, because men and women are not designed, they've got these sort of They're being told this, it's arbitrary, it's completely constructed and subjective,
00:24:42.000and because we place no value on history and tradition, well, we should sort of empirically create a theoretical ideal for what men and women should be based on science or based on psychology or based on something like that.
00:25:04.000And that's where you get this war on men, where people like that are saying that, you know, Men were oppressing women, men were inflicting this on women, men had this role, they had this primacy in society through domination and through something like theft and violence.
00:25:27.000And now we've got to stop that from happening.
00:25:45.000Because if the natural order were for men and women to be equal, then you would have societies where men and women are equal.
00:25:52.000But even where they're forcing equality, that's not true.
00:25:56.000But wouldn't you think that if men and women being equal were natural and inevitable?
00:26:02.000Wouldn't you think that with all the variation, all the variability in the human species across continents, across the millennia, wouldn't you think that there would be one civilization that would be flipped?
00:31:51.000I can't circle back and have the same debate over and over and over again about how, you know, gender roles are not the result of girls being told they can't be an astronaut in kindergarten.
00:33:30.000Like, so, even the banter wasn't high quality, but I guess it's fun.
00:33:38.000I'll also say this what is wrong with Hunter?
00:33:42.000The dude is just like disfigured at this point.
00:33:46.000He used to look like a guy, like, he really did.
00:33:50.000I remember six years ago when he was doing YouTube, and he was like, you know, he was a relatively good looking young guy, and now he just looks like a melted ice cream cone.
00:34:01.000Like, and I don't say that even as a joke, that's just what he looks like.
00:34:04.000He's got this negative cantile tilt, like his eyes.
00:41:19.000What male puts this little number together, looks in the mirror, and says, oh boy, this is going to be hilarious, or something else, or whatever else, God only knows.
00:41:33.000But what adolescent male puts on this little get up and says, I'm going to film myself in this and publish it?
00:44:19.000And I'll say this what am I basing on that?
00:44:21.000Back when he was doing his SJW commentary, almost all of his videos were about gay people, almost all of his content was about LGBT.
00:44:35.000Now, don't get me wrong, I talk about that sometimes on the show, but I talk about a wide variety of things on the show.
00:44:42.000I talk about foreign policy, I talk about the role of men and women, I talk about the economy, I talk about immigration, race, Jewish power, the media, terrorism.
00:44:58.000Now, some will say that anyone who is anti gay is gay themselves, and I would say that there is some truth to that heuristic.
00:45:08.000If there's a fixation, if there is some kind of, you know, some people, it's very natural to be repulsed by displays of homosexual affection.
00:45:20.000That's just, that is innate, I think, in men and women.
00:45:24.000But for a polemical person to have a fixation on that, I think, that heuristic sometimes is true.
00:45:44.000So, you got this guy who, when he talks in that debate about men needing to be vulnerable and they repress their emotions, and sometimes the man's role is in the house.
00:46:16.000I think that's not always a true heuristic, but it is sometimes true that we tend to think about and accuse people of the things we ourselves are guilty of.
00:46:27.000So, in the case of Hunter Avalon, when he talks about toxic masculinity and sensitivity and empathy as a male, and there's this fixation on LGBT, and he's got this sort of liberal girlfriend who kind of bullies him into being a conservative, you can definitely see that.
00:46:47.000Hunter Avalon is a prototypical left wing male.
00:46:52.000He's this perfect demonstration of how you're getting these people.
00:46:56.000He is the perfect composite of maybe not your average, but your complete, your fullest.
00:47:04.000He's a sort of model, the complete model of your liberal left wing male, which is to say that he is a failed male, a failed male who's maybe queer or questioning or got something like that going on.
00:47:22.000And who is being led around by the nose by some kind of dominant, assertive female in his life, who in this case would be the fiance, would be the baby mama, would be the now wife, which I don't even consider it a wife.
00:50:38.000It's like a, it's actually, they brought it back.
00:50:43.000Yik Yak is a social media app where it's like a message board that is anonymous and it's made up of people within like a five mile radius of you.
00:50:56.000So if I go on Yik Yak, it will see where I am and it'll pull up anonymous messages that are posted publicly from people in your proximity.
00:51:09.000And it was very popular on college campuses.
00:51:10.000You go on a college campus and you would see it was sort of like anonymous Twitter.
00:51:14.000It was sort of like anonymous geographical Twitter.
00:51:16.000You could log on and it's all anonymous, and people are posting these short posts, people in your area.
00:51:24.000And you upvote them, and popular posts are shown first, sort of like anonymous Twitter.
00:51:31.000And so I was in college, and I would go on Yik Yak, and every post was negative.
00:51:40.000Every post was expressing negative emotion.
00:51:45.000All the posts were saying, You know, I'm so depressed.
00:51:49.000I have a bad relationship with my parents.
00:51:51.000I go to parties and feel empty, et cetera, et cetera.
00:51:56.000Now, I looked at that and I said, wow, there's a lot of sad people on Yik Yak.
00:52:02.000I'm like, wow, there's a lot of people on this college campus are miserable.
00:52:08.000Now, some people could say, well, there's a self selection bias that, well, maybe people that are on social media, the kinds of people that will be on social media, maybe there's a tendency to be more depressive or something.
00:52:20.000Or maybe they go there when they're having a bad experience.
00:52:23.000You know, there's other explanations other than that's representative of everybody.
00:52:29.000But I would say, on the contrary, I would say that an anonymous message board is probably more honest than a public message board.
00:52:37.000Because I would contrast what I saw on Facebook and Twitter, which is everybody posting themselves having a good time and talking about how they go to parties and this is great and pictures of themselves, with an anonymous board.
00:52:51.000It's very positive, and on the anonymous private board, it's very negative.
00:52:57.000And what I began to think about is you know, are these people miserable?
00:53:01.000Are these people that are drinking and partying and doing drugs and having sex and socializing happy or are they sad?
00:53:11.000And the real question is is this sort of satisfaction of compulsions, compulsive behavior?
00:53:24.000Is this something that leads people to be happy and healthy?
00:53:29.000And this was evidence that the answer is no.
00:53:31.000And that actually, following your compulsions, in a word, doing what you want, doing what you feel like, doing what is easy and what feels good, does that make a person happy?
00:53:43.000Does that create a healthy psychological profile?
00:54:15.000This is characteristic of all leftists.
00:54:17.000They sort of give in to what they want, they give into their compulsions and their passions.
00:54:22.000And I know this is kind of like a very basic idea, but it's a basic idea that's lost on a lot of people, which is as simple as this.
00:54:31.000Doing what you want is not always the thing that's good for you or what you should do.
00:54:37.000I know that's like a very simple and for some people self evident thing, but that's something that we're being taught the opposite.
00:54:43.000That's what leftism is telling people no, embrace everything that you want.
00:54:50.000You want to eat because you're sad, you want to go and drink because you're sad, you want to pursue relationships to satisfy certain problems.
00:55:00.000You know, do whatever you need to do, take care of yourself, take a mental health day.
00:56:35.000This is a guy who embraced, this is a guy who does a lot of crying and does a lot of telling himself, I don't need to be the breadwinner, I could stay at home.
00:56:44.000Feeling guilty and bad about that, feeling emasculated about that is oppressive, so I'll simply stop feeling bad about that.
00:56:51.000Yeah, is that the perfect picture of health that results?
00:56:55.000So, you know, for a lot of people, it goes without saying, but that's the pathology of leftists.
00:58:48.000He was an atheist here, and it didn't take long, did it?
00:58:52.000Here's your latent atheist who's an adolescent and still has some good sense because he's still inculcated in an environment created by his parents.
01:05:35.000If one of these guys raped a kid in your neighborhood, and the kid was put out into the street, and the police put together a lineup like in the Bronx tale, you remember the Bronx tale when they lined up all the people on the block and the police had them pick out?
01:05:55.000Would you be able to pick out these two guys in a police lineup?
01:16:54.000This is a guy who's fat, gay, and retarded.
01:16:57.000Just your daily reminder that this individual is fat, gay, and retarded.
01:17:02.000He's literally all three visibly obese, gay in the sense that he is male, attracted to males, and he's retarded in the sense that he has Asperger's syndrome.
01:29:56.000Pragmatic Culture says Hey, Nick just saw Minions 2 Rise of Grew with a bunch of suited up New York Gloipers.
01:30:03.000A lot of thematic parallels between Grew and America First.
01:30:06.000A young white upstart in Grew is taken by a wise older villain in Wild Knuckles to teach him the ropes.
01:30:13.000Jared Taylor with his crew of wacky followers, Groypers, and they take down a group of disloyal, self interested villains, Wignatz, Judas, etc., and constantly working against the villains in Anti Villain League.
01:32:45.000Boogley Woogley says, it's easy to call Hunter a faggot, McFaggot face, but really he's what happens to someone who bases his worldview entirely on exceptions to the rule.
01:32:55.000I think he's just, that's what atheism looks like.
01:32:59.000Trombone Zoomer says Hunter must have really had early onset boomer syndrome.
01:33:38.000Could you imagine if I was hanging out outside a gas station with this cup?
01:33:42.000Drinking lean with my minion beanie on.
01:33:45.000Yeah, that's got to be the next photo op.
01:33:50.000Is me outside of 7 Eleven in my minion beanie with a yellow sweatshirt and black boots and my minion cup full of lean hanging outside the gas station.
01:39:45.000It's not like any other chain, it's unlike any other chain that exists.
