00:04:16.000But I wanted to see it to give a review just to see, you know, you like to go and see what's going on, what people are hearing from people like Dinesh and from the tastemakers.
00:04:31.000Same reason I see a lot of the big blockbuster movies.
00:04:36.000You just want to see what people are thinking, what's going on, what people are consuming.
00:06:20.000Because the people that are going to see it already agree with everything that's in the movie.
00:06:25.000And they've already heard everything in the movie because they either read one of the books or they saw any one of Dinesh D'Souza's previous movies, which all have the same content.
00:08:24.000The first thing I'll say is that if you've seen one Dinesh D'Souza movie, if you've read one Dinesh D'Souza book, you don't need to see or read anything else by him ever again because it's all the same thing, just recycled.
00:09:43.000Also, I read the book America when I was in high school, and same shit, you know?
00:09:50.000Actually, America was a little different because, at least in that one, they did an exposition about the Native American argument that the Howard Zinn types like to make.
00:12:54.000But if an alien came down to planet Earth and witnessed our political debates, I mean, we like taught him what's going on, we taught him English and.
00:13:46.000Don't you think if so much of our discourse is predicated on the axiom that Adolf Hitler is the ultimate evil and what he represented is inarguably evil, don't you think it's important to get all the details right?
00:14:00.000Don't you think it's important that we get all the facts, all the documents together, and we really have the correct picture of who this figure is?
00:14:08.000If he is so consequential, mythologically speaking, for the conversation, it's important we get the details right.
00:14:14.000But in some countries, it's illegal to ask the questions.
00:14:19.000And so I'm thinking, you know, history really needs a Hitler because it's always reduced to not an argument about first principles, not an argument about policies, not an argument about even political theory or anything like that.
00:14:35.000It always comes back to, well, who's like the bad guy?
00:15:22.000The legacy and is the inheritor of history.
00:15:27.000That's what's consequential because we're living in a time where we have these immeasurably high and modern and progressive standards for morality that only came about in like the last 20 years tolerance, pluralism, feminism, you know, these kinds of things.
00:15:45.000And really, so then the question of our time becomes well, which side, which group of people, which faction then.
00:15:53.000Inherits responsibility for history because history is a very bloody thing, it's a very ugly thing, and by all of our modern and very unique standards, what was horrible and immoral.
00:16:07.000So then the question becomes and that's where you get this who is most likened, and then who bears responsibility for the past ills that have gotten us to where we are?
00:16:16.000We're all good people, we all hold the right opinions, we're all liberals in different colors, but the reasons that we're not living in utopia is because people back then were bad, and so who.
00:16:27.000Traces their antecedents to the bad people.
00:16:30.000Who then is responsible for our present misery?
00:16:33.000Now that's the wrong perspective because, of course, man has fallen.
00:17:51.000Deep down, we know that the Democrats do not want a nation of straight white men and traditional families in uniforms saluting the national flag.
00:18:00.000Does this sound like the Democrats to you?
00:19:25.000They then go on to say that this was the best part, I think.
00:19:31.000They say, well, the Democrats will draw a similarity between the Republicans and the Nazis because the Nazis disliked homosexuals.
00:19:41.000And then they say that, well, when Hitler was prosecuting all the homosexuals, even though he's prosecuting them and it was illegal, well, he privately wrote that he didn't mind.
00:19:50.000That some of his advisors and generals were gay because they were good soldiers.
00:20:05.000I mean, you have to have a really warped mentality.
00:20:09.000You really have to suspend disbelief to buy that kind of stuff.
00:20:12.000Now, I will say, there are some things in there that are correct.
00:20:17.000They compare the Nazis to progressives in America.
00:20:21.000Now, the Nazis were progressives, not in the same way, but they were progressives.
00:20:26.000National socialism is a progressive, a utopian, a materialist, and a revolutionary ideology.
00:20:36.000All of these things the American progressives have in common materialist, revolutionary, progressive, and utopian.
00:20:45.000Now, in that way, you have to understand these things more in an historical context as opposed to an ideological context.
00:20:54.000National socialism can be described in the same historical context as liberal progressivism or egalitarian progressivism or something like that.
00:21:04.000But again, the content is very different.
00:23:26.000I look at people in Appalachia where their town has been hollowed out because everyone's killing themselves or they're on opioids and their jobs have been shipped overseas.
00:23:46.000So that's the Nazi portion and totally ridiculous because.
00:23:51.000Conservatism, the right, is inherently authoritarian, is inherently traditional, is inherently hierarchical, is inherently realist, and therefore anti egalitarian.
00:24:02.000So it's just, and that's why nobody believes it.
00:24:27.000We're going to try and bend over backwards and reinvent the wheel, trying to convince an audience that the people that love the white race are the same as the open borders crowd, when we could just go a little bit east and we've got the Soviet Union, which was an internationalist, communist, they had anarchists.
00:25:48.000Reaction to what transnational banking class that overthrew Russia, killed all the monarchs, started inflicting horrible, horrible casualties on the Russian people?
00:27:24.000We're going to concoct this story and we'll just brainwash them and they'll believe it.
00:27:29.000We're going to make up this story about how bankers and a certain class ruined the country and people just gobble it up because I give really good speeches.
00:27:39.000And we're just going to come up with this lie.
00:28:00.000You know, of course, the moralistic paradigm does not explain evil because evil is of a very different nature than we think of it in this day and age.
00:28:12.000We think of it in terms of overt, explicit, malicious, but that's never how it manifests.
00:28:18.000In human nature, it manifests as pride.
00:28:23.000And pride can come in a form that is deceptive.
00:28:27.000Pride, that's why many people sin for all kinds of reasons that we would call victimless crimes.
00:28:32.000So that's kind of an aside, but that's why fundamentally we will never understand.
00:28:38.000The modern or average person will never understand how anyone could be a racist or a Nazi or a communist or whatever they think is bad, is because, well, they don't think they're doing the wrong thing, they don't seek to do it.
00:28:50.000You know, some crazy people do, but for the most part, the people that are committed are the people that they believe they're doing the right thing.
00:28:59.000He didn't say, oh, I'm just going to lie to everybody.
00:29:00.000The big lie he was talking about was the lies of the press and the lies of the media and the book burnings, too.
00:29:07.000They make it out like, oh, they were just burning Homer, they were burning the classics, they were making it so that people were illiterate.
00:29:15.000The Nazis were among the most sophisticated governments in human history.
00:29:21.000That's why we brought all their scientists to America in Project Paperclip to build our rocket ships.
00:29:26.000So it's not like, oh, they were anti education.
00:29:28.000The books they were burning were books that were written by like Jewish psychologists about transsexuals and the sexual revolution and all this degenerative kind of stuff.
00:29:38.000So they may, oh, they're throwing books in the fire.
00:30:44.000But that said, the reason that they're so defensive and protective about the mythology of what happened in World War II is because, and this movie's a demonstration of it, their entire first principle of neoliberalism is built on that mythology.
00:30:59.000You start asking questions, and then, well, why is it wrong that we have a nation that's for white people?
00:31:05.000Well, when you can't resort to the Nazi argument, what do you have?
00:35:39.000Do you think he voted for open borders?
00:35:41.000If he is the, you know, textbook white supremacist, why would he be in favor of the party that wants to make the country not white and celebrate it?
00:36:39.000In the same way that perhaps racists support restrictionist immigration because it's bringing in non white people into the country, does that make it intrinsically wrong?
00:36:48.000Does that mean there are no other good reasons for it?
00:36:52.000They think it's good for the wrong reasons, but that doesn't mean there are not good reasons for it.
00:36:57.000For example, bringing in legal immigrants creates more competition for a smaller amount of American jobs, bringing in more immigrants makes the country less.
00:37:13.000Bringing in more people makes it harder to assimilate the ones here.
00:37:16.000I mean, you could pile them on from civic to ethnic nationalist arguments against it that do not involve blind prejudice, arbitrary hatred for other races.
00:37:29.000The last thing I'll say about, which is fascinating, about the second segment of the movie is that he focuses on not even the racial aspect.
00:37:40.000This blows my mind because that would be absurd.
00:37:43.000So he doesn't even focus on the racial elements so much.
00:37:47.000He focuses on how slavery is actually a form of theft.
00:37:51.000How slavery was actually, you know, whatever, it was racist, sure, it was racist, but the cardinal sin of slavery, says Dinesh D'Souza, is that it violated the free market.
00:38:08.000He says, well, the slavers, the plantation owners, were stealing the fruits of slaves' labor in the same way that Democrats want to steal the fruits of your labor through high taxes and through whatever.
00:38:24.000And in this way, Evola is totally, or Evola is totally vindicated.
00:38:29.000He said that if, he said capitalists and communists are basically two sides of the same coin.
00:38:34.000They both regard humanity and judge it in terms of dollars and employment and things.
00:38:42.000And he says if you're gauging humanity in that way, you're not even close to what is important.
00:38:48.000And that's effectively what is put on display in the movie.
00:41:07.000You know, I don't do America first and then in the middle of every show just have like a catboy break in and, you know, break in his song and dance because, you know, that's my friend or something.
00:41:20.000And then so she breaks in with the song and this was just so over the top.
00:41:25.000It's like the Lincoln Monument, troops saluting the flag, the wheat fields of the plains.
00:41:35.000And then there was another song in the end.
00:44:41.000They're either shooting themselves in the head or they're taking drugs to numb themselves from the pain so much that they die.
00:44:49.000So, that's the state of America right now.
00:44:53.000Is that the quality of life is such because the family has been destroyed, because communities have been destroyed, because the nation has no identity and no soul and no heroes and no myths, that people are dying deaths of despair?
00:45:27.000You know, how many of my friends are going to end up 22 years old, unemployed, $50,000 in debt, no job experience, no family support system, no fraternal support system, no community, no faith in God?
00:45:43.000They're on drugs, no family of their own.
00:45:47.000And you're going to tell them, no, but it's all great.
00:45:49.000It's all great though, because you're free, Buster.
00:46:21.000You're working your finger to the bone in the cubicle for 60 years, and you will never become financially independent or secure, and not your children will have it worse than you.
00:46:32.000But, good thing is, homosexuals are allowed to get married because government has no constitutional authority in the institution of marriage.
00:46:49.000I'll take the strong hand of the state any day with families, communities, a national character over whatever the hell we have now, and it's supposed to be free.
00:47:58.000But now, in 2018, they've got a fascist government basically, like an ultra right wing government, restrictionist immigration, regulations, fastest growing economy, one of them in the world.
00:48:09.000And not only that, but there are Christian churches everywhere.
00:48:54.000Thank God I live here where there's gunshots if you go 20 minutes west or east after 9 o'clock, and there's prostitutes all up and down Mannheim Road.
00:51:55.000And once a thinking person who has read old books.
00:51:59.000Is on, then it stops being like this simplistic circle jerk and it gets like kind of quiet because everyone's like, oh, wait a minute, this is not easily digestible.
00:59:17.000There's a study on how people have pride in their work.
00:59:21.000And what we find is that in Anglo Protestant culture, We have, as you can see in this graphical display, Americans, because they have an Anglo Protestant culture, they descend from the English, like the English, have pride in their work, disproportionately.
00:59:39.00087% respond that they have a great deal of pride in their work, compared to 15% for France, 20% for East Germany, 30% for Italy, 48% for Spain, 83% for Great Britain.
00:59:53.000Now, let's think about that for a moment.
01:00:45.000Should we strive not for people having lots of stuff and working all the time, but perhaps that people should have a quality of life and have it such that work is a part of life?
01:00:57.000There's not so much a separation, but work is simply one component.
01:01:02.000Out of many, and not well, work, all the time, every day.
01:01:07.000We got to get more and more stuff and more stuff.
01:01:10.000How about an element of contentedness?
01:01:13.000How about an element of, you know, that kind of thing?
01:01:16.000But we've got this breakneck pace of international capitalism where the rhythm is so dramatic.
01:01:29.000And the Charlie Kirks of the world think it should only go faster.
01:02:02.000I know a lot of people who work hard, and are they having a great time?
01:02:06.000It would be one thing if you're working really hard and you get to come home and there's a meatloaf in the oven, and you come home and the kitties run up to you.
01:02:16.000And, you know, Junior's got the baseball cap on, and he's, hey, Dad, you want to go play catch after we eat dinner?
01:02:34.000You put your hat on the thing, take your coat off, kick your feet up on the big chair, wait for dinner, and then you go, you say a little prayer.
01:05:00.000And then you come home to like a shoebox apartment and there's just never any quiet.
01:05:05.000There's always the noise of the machine, whether it's immigrants yelling or it's truck horns or gunshots or ambulance sirens.
01:05:16.000You know, I see you go home to your little shoebox apartment and it smells and there's no women and there's no kids.
01:05:23.000And you open the fridge and eat like Chinese takeout from the other day.
01:05:26.000It's, you know, probably lacks health standards.
01:05:31.000You toss and turn trying to sleep, thinking about how you're going to make ends meet.
01:05:37.000Tossing and turning, thinking about, you know, if you want to be a girl.
01:05:43.000You know, hmm, all these phytoestrogens I've been eating, I'm starting to think, huh, what do I look like in a dress?
01:05:53.000Or tossing and turning, thinking about that girl that you met and you really liked her, but then you found out that she had, like, you know, She got double teamed at a party last week.
01:06:05.000Or your girlfriend, you found out that she was going out with, you know, she slept with Chad one time.
01:06:12.000You know, and then you're 35, and then you're 40, and there's no end in sight.
01:06:16.000And your parents are in Florida, you know, living it up on a boat, and you're in hell.
