00:06:06.000You getting ready to wake up and go to work?
00:06:08.000Getting ready to, well, you might have to go to sleep so that you can wake up in a few hours and go to work and drive to work, walk to work, drive to work.
00:11:22.000My sleep schedule is just constantly fluctuating.
00:11:25.000And sometimes it happens to hang around where I'm sleeping at night, but then it will very quickly then move on, and I'll be, you know, gradually sleeping later and later until it's sleeping in the morning, you know.
00:11:35.000And then it's sleeping throughout the whole day.
00:13:03.000Anyway, in high school, we would go to these multi day conferences where we would go and stay for like three or four days.
00:13:11.000We'd go to like, you know, one of the best ones that I went to is called Simon.
00:13:15.000It was C I M U N, Chicago International Model UN.
00:13:19.000And they held it in the Hilton Hotel in downtown Chicago.
00:13:23.000And what they would do for a lot of these conferences is if you were in a crisis committee, which was like a cabinet for a government, you would be like representing somebody in like The American National Security Council, or you'd represent a minister in the UK cabinet, you know, and that's how the committee would go for three or four days.
00:13:45.000But in these crisis committees, what they would do is they would have a midnight crisis, typically on a Saturday.
00:13:51.000The conference would run from like, it would probably, I think it would run from like Friday to Sunday or Thursday to Sunday, depending on the conference.
00:13:59.000And typically on Friday or Saturday night, what they would do is you'd be in committee all day, you'd go to your sessions, you know, you'd do a morning session, lunch, afternoon session, dinner, sometimes an evening session.
00:14:11.000So you'd be in committee all day, you'd adjourn for the day, you'd go back to your room, you'd get a little bit of sleep.
00:14:19.000And so they'd send staff to all the different delegates from the crisis committee to go to your hotel room, knock on the door at like 3 a.m., and they'd say, You've been summoned for the, you know, you're having a midnight crisis or something, and you'd have to get dressed.
00:14:35.000They'd say, Meet in this room in 30 minutes, and you'd go down, and it'd be like 2 a.m., 3 a.m., and, you know, they'd say, You know, there has been a terror attack, and, you know, whatever.
00:16:32.000I could just have a bunch of liquids in there.
00:16:34.000You know, I could have my couple of bottles of water, a couple of bottles of vitamin water, a couple of cans of pop, you know, stuff like that.
00:16:42.000Then I could just be here indefinitely.
00:16:45.000Have a catheter, I'll have my cooler, I'll just be slonking.
00:16:48.000I really love, you know, like, beverages.
00:23:26.000I would any day of the fucking week have America become a communist country, full on Stalinism, than what we're doing right now, or what we've been doing for the past 50 years.
00:23:39.000But seriously, I would rather have Bernie Sanders be president for a thousand years if we cannot be doing what we're doing right now with immigration.
00:23:49.000You know, then what the fuck are you trying to conserve?
00:25:45.000You know, I'm like a handsome man, I have a good facial structure, and that is because my ideas are handsome, just like my face has symmetry and integrity.
00:25:57.000And, you know, is perhaps reflecting shades of a higher beauty, a higher form.
00:27:17.000Some of these things are hard to articulate when it comes to physiognomy, when it comes to these very subtle, like micro expressions or mannerisms.
00:27:26.000I figured this is something that I should respond to because this is something that.
00:29:11.000Like, the more that I hear neoliberal, libertarian bullshit, the more I hear these people talk, the more it is just like pushing the needle for me.
00:29:23.000I'm not a communist, I'm not a socialist.
00:29:25.000But I want to become one because I just want to be whatever this guy isn't.
00:29:33.000If this guy is, you know, so anti communist and pro capitalist, it's like it makes me want to go all in on communism.
00:30:18.000We've gone over the numbers a million times on DLive with George Borjas, which is pretty unambiguous that immigration is a drain on the economy.
00:30:31.000But, you know, where's the citation anyway?
00:31:19.000Western civilization is Christendom, you know?
00:31:23.000How might you even differentiate Western European civilization from Eastern European civilization?
00:31:30.000Well, the distinction is almost entirely based on religion.
00:31:34.000You know, where would you even get this Western Eastern distinction between European countries?
00:31:39.000Well, primarily it's, I mean, there's, don't get me wrong, there's other distinctions as well, but primarily it's the religious schism.
00:31:47.000But in any case, you know, the Western canon, Western civilization was created by Christianity.
00:31:54.000The last 2,000 years of Western civilization have been Christian years.
00:31:58.000And that's not to say that, you know, Western civilization does predate Christianity with Greece and Rome and all of that, but nevertheless, Played a not insignificant part in the preceding 2,000 years.
00:32:11.000But also, that's not the only dimension.
00:32:13.000It's like, well, you claim that Western civilizations follow Christianity, but they're Christian.
00:32:19.000Well, in the first place, that's not entirely the problem with them on a cultural level.
00:32:26.000It's not simply that they're not Christian.
00:32:30.000It's that they don't adhere to all kinds of other social and cultural norms, things that are actually much more subtle and nuanced than people take for granted.
00:32:40.000You know, things like how they treat women, their views on education, their views on work, habits, customs, manners, body language.
00:32:51.000Sense of humor, a lot of like verbal things.
00:32:55.000Like, there are lots of parts of culture, and people like this boil it down to things like food, music, you know, very superficial cosmetic expressions of culture, but they're totally missing, you know, how deep culture goes and how comprehensive it is.
00:33:14.000And once you understand that, you realize all the ways in which we clash with these people.
00:33:18.000You know, I talk about it a lot on the show that, you know, people like in India don't use toilets.
00:33:27.000But it's also reflective of, you know, these are some, it's also one of these cultural elements that you wouldn't think of right off the bat, but obviously demonstrate a conflict that, you know, we use toilets and they shit in the street.
00:33:43.000And like I said, you know, it is funny and maybe it's insulting or demeaning, but it also is true that more than half the population in India practices open defecation.
00:33:53.000That's incompatible with our civilization.
00:33:56.000But that doesn't fall under the umbrella of cafeteria and iTunes and Reeboks and whatever that most people think of when they think of assimilation.
00:34:09.000It's so comprehensive, and the clash is so thorough.
00:34:13.000And you could see that in L.A., you could see that in San Francisco, you can see that anywhere you go.
00:34:18.000I go to Pilsen, it's a neighborhood in Chicago, and it looks like Mexico.
00:34:22.000And it doesn't just look like Mexico because the people are dark skinned and they don't speak English, it's because it's also.
00:34:29.000You know, if you look at a lot of the signs, if you look at sort of just the texture of life, there are people like just selling their wares on the streets, people selling clothes, these like street vendors outside.
00:35:01.000Number two, that it's not just that they clash on a religious basis, but also on every other basis.
00:35:06.000But then, lastly, if you're going to say, well, they're Christian, Mexicans are Christian, well, I would contest that in a big way because the people that are coming over, they certainly don't act like Christians.
00:35:18.000You know, if that's a necessary component, it certainly isn't sufficient that they are nominally Christian because, as far as I'm concerned, the people that are coming over here, they vote for the anti Christian party, they support things like abortion.
00:35:33.000Typically, they block with social liberals that support things like sexual deviancy and homosexuality and all that.
00:35:41.000So, you would fool me if you're talking about their politics.
00:35:43.000And even if you look at their religious practices, a lot of the Christianity that you see in Central and South America does not resemble the Christianity we have here.
00:36:13.000And in any case, it's lost on the younger generations.
00:36:17.000You know, at least from what I can tell, the younger generations have completely lost the religiosity that maybe their more traditional parents had.
00:36:26.000So, you know, I've heard this a lot from like Catholic integralists and other people about liberals.
00:37:31.000And then on culture, I mean, that doesn't seem like a very responsible, that doesn't seem like a very thorough breakdown of the cultural argument against mass demographic change or mass immigration.
00:37:44.000Well, culture, well, they're Christian and you like Christians, right?
00:37:51.000And by the way, if it was sufficient to simply say that they're Christian, I mean, look at all the religious conflicts within Christianity in the last so many hundreds of years, right?
00:38:05.000Between Protestants, between Catholics and Protestants, between Catholic and Orthodox.
00:38:11.000A great example was the Yugoslavian Civil War and the aftermath between what was it?
00:38:18.000You had an Orthodox group, you had a Catholic element, you had a Muslim element.
00:38:22.000I mean, there's a whole religious conflict between.
00:38:24.000Christians and Muslims in Eastern Europe just 20 years ago, you know?
00:38:29.000So to say that, oh, well, they're just Christian, I mean, even if all of that was true, would that even be a sufficient argument?
00:40:28.000And all that is left after I've demolished everything, the smoking wreckage of every argument against mass, every legitimate argument against mass immigration has all been.
00:40:40.000Shredded to pieces by my facts and logic.
00:40:44.000Well, the only reason I've deduced is blind prejudice based on physical characteristics.
00:41:54.000Where do people think that comes from?
00:41:56.000Do people think that, like, it's possible for Africans to just start, you know, shitting out light skinned Africans and Europeans are gonna have black Europeans or, you know, brown Europeans or Europeans with, like, slanted eyes like Asian people?
00:42:15.000Of course, these physical differences come from genetic differences.
00:42:21.000And so, if we can all agree, That perhaps genetic differences cause these physical differences that are visible.
00:42:29.000Maybe there are other genetic differences that are not visible, you know, like things in the brain or things in, you know, with our muscles or whatever.
00:43:22.000He'd be an African who, because of some genetic mutation or disorder, happened to have light skin.
00:43:29.000But you wouldn't say that that makes him white.
00:43:32.000Because white is a term that we've applied to Europeans.
00:43:38.000It's a characteristic of Europeans, people from Europe.
00:43:42.000And black, black skinnedness, dark skin, is a characteristic of Africans, of people from Africa.
00:43:48.000Not just anywhere in Africa, but sub Saharan Africa.
00:43:52.000So these sort of like when we talk about skin color, I know that sounds asinine and obvious and simple, but we only call them that because.
00:44:02.000These are characteristics shared by people that came from a certain geographical region.
00:44:07.000And at some point, these different groups had to branch off in terms of their genetics.
00:44:13.000You know, at some point, you had completely different types of people living in Africa that they turned out black and with flat noses and, you know, different skull shape than you had with Europeans who ended up with a narrow nose and, you know, hairier bodies and things like that.
00:44:30.000You know, of course, you would have to have.
00:44:33.000Separation geographically to create these genetic differences.
00:44:40.000And all this is to say, he says, well, the only reason you want to keep these people out is skin color, right?
00:44:47.000Because if it's not anything else, it's only skin color.
00:44:49.000Well, I would say that race is much deeper than skin color.
00:44:53.000Nobody is saying don't let so and so in because they're a different color.
00:45:27.000But, more than that, there is something to be said about people that look the same as you.
00:45:35.000There is something to be said about that.
00:45:37.000I'm not saying that's the only reason or.
00:45:39.000A primary reason or anything, but let's stop with this gay game where we have to pretend that we're not more comfortable around our own than we are among others.
00:45:49.000If that's racist, so be it, honestly, because that is human nature that we are more comfortable around people that are like us, you know, that look like us, that sound like us, that we grew up with, that are familiar.
00:46:31.000Have you ever, I mean, the way that they talk to each other, the way they interact with each other, and I don't say that in a negative way, but I mean, it's just in a descriptive way.
00:46:39.000I remember being in high school, all the black kids hung around with each other.
00:46:43.000They were all friends and they all hung around with each other.
00:46:46.000And it was like that in elementary school, it was like that in middle school, it was like that in high school.
00:46:50.000I remember I went on the middle school, we took a class trip to Washington, D.C.
00:46:55.000It was like 10 kids from my school, and one of them was black.
00:47:00.000And immediately we got on one of those charter tour buses with another middle school.
00:47:04.000We were combining and touring the city with them.
00:47:08.000And immediately the one black kid from our school, and I think the handful of black kids from their school, Became fast friends immediately, gravitated towards each other like that, hung out in the back of the bus.
00:47:45.000This is, uh, and people have to stop with that, you know, this, this trying to accommodate this self-conception of not being racist.
00:47:55.000People have to get the fuck over that.
00:47:58.000Well, but I'm not racist, but I'm not, well, I believe da da da da, but I'm not racist, and I believe this and the other, but it's not racist.
00:48:05.000Just get that word out of your vocabulary.
00:48:07.000Why don't you just focus on, you know, finding the truth and fuck everything else, right?
00:48:13.000Why don't you just focus on having a coherent worldview that makes sense, that reflects the world you live in, it adequately describes the world you live in, and if it happens to fall under some arbitrary category, maybe the category's wrong.
00:48:28.000Some people, it's like they logically deduce how the world is, but they say, oh, well, that's racist.
00:48:58.000Maybe that shows that the whole language game is upside down and designed to manipulate and designed to conceal truth.
00:49:07.000But people, when faced with this contradiction between what they see and this mental block, this idea that you cannot be racist, they will question their worldview as opposed to questioning the word.
00:51:36.000By the way, when you're a genius, you can tell how smart someone is just by the way they talk.
00:51:42.000You know, the precision of their language is the biggest tell.
00:51:47.000You know, like if you're reading an email, if you hear someone talk in a sentence, you know, a lot of people, they don't realize, like, how much is communicated in the way that they communicate.
00:52:14.000You know, they just blurt out sort of these, like, general.
00:52:18.000Ideas, general like feelings, like thought feelings, and just kind of blurted out.
00:52:25.000And so when they say, oh, individualism was implemented, what the fuck does that mean?
00:52:29.000Capitalism was fully implemented when the Industrial Revolution happens.
00:52:33.000Like that is just so sloppy, and it shows that this person has not thought any of this through and has no grasp on what they're talking about.
00:54:27.000That is an artificial thing that was made up in the last 100 years.
00:54:31.000There's no such thing as a distinction between the individual and the collective.
00:54:36.000Because, you know, at once we are all individuals in the sense that, you know, I, me, you know, self conception is constrained to our individual person.
00:54:47.000So, in a very technical, strictly technical sense, we are individuals, but of course we all act within a society.
00:54:55.000We all act within groups in a way that is.
00:55:06.000I can't think of the word, but we fluidly sort of operate within groups or representing groups or as individuals sometimes throughout any given day, throughout our lifetimes.
00:55:20.000And sometimes, you know, the extent to which we act as collectives overlaps, you know?
00:55:27.000As a member of a family, you act as a worker in a business, you act as a student as a part of a school.
00:55:34.000So it's a very fluid thing in terms of your identification with the collective at any given time or having multiple layers of group identification.
00:56:36.000Well, on some level, this is true in the sense that allowing, having rights and responsibilities divided by individuals and Having individuals able to express themselves and things like that.
00:56:51.000I mean, there is a degree of liberty for the individual in the West, which I'll grant you.
00:56:56.000But the idea that, like, hyper atomic individualism, rejection of group identity, or something like that made the West great, which is what he's saying, is wrong.
00:57:06.000And that's what these people are saying.
00:57:08.000They're not talking about the ability of an inventor to own the rights to his invention, right?
00:57:17.000He's not talking about property rights.
00:57:19.000He's not, well, you know, maybe he is on some level.
00:57:22.000But he's not talking about a person's right to own their land or a person's right to have a private conscience or something like that.
00:57:30.000He's talking about hyper individualism.
00:57:32.000He's talking about the fact that, you know, you're this like 40 year old ideology, libertarian ideology, that there is no group, there is no collective, there is no family unit, there is no community, there is no society.
00:57:48.000There's only this sort of spontaneous.
00:57:51.000Overlap of individuals interacting with one another in a marketplace.
00:58:39.000Because if you value piety, if you value honoring God, if you value beauty, artistic achievements, things like that, it's pretty barren in the last 250 years compared to the years that preceded it.
00:58:55.000You look at things like The Sistine Chapel, or you look at Mozart, or you look at Rembrandt, or you look at things like that, you know, classical art.
00:59:05.000You know, there was no industrial revolution then, and arguably that was the height of Western civilization, you know, in various places.
00:59:12.000So I would push back on the claim that more stuff and technological progress equals, you know, Western civilization becoming what it is, reaching its apex.
00:59:22.000You know, technologically maybe, but I would argue that's maybe the only way that we're in any kind of a peak or a height in terms of.
00:59:33.000And he says that the Industrial Revolution was created when we implemented individualism or when we implemented capitalism or something like that.
00:59:41.000I mean, again, to an extent that's true, but I would also say that the Industrial Revolution took place and we had mercantile policies.
00:59:49.000You know, mercantilism, not this hyper laissez faire capitalism.
00:59:55.000You know, the Industrial Revolution started in the United Kingdom in the mid 18th century when they were a mercantile power.
01:00:03.000You know, when they had tariffs, when they wanted to have autarky, they wanted to produce everything within the country, you know, trade barriers even against Europe.
01:00:11.000You know, there was no European Union at the time.
01:00:29.000And this is why I was a libertarian for a long time, is because I did the same thing.
01:00:33.000You know, just slap together a lot of these just like overgeneralizations, assumptions, things that are kind of true but not like completely true.
01:00:43.000To an extent, individualism characterizes the West, and to an extent, individualism plays a part in commerce and things like that.
01:00:50.000A lot of these are half truths, but it's missing the bigger picture.
01:00:54.000What built the West more than anything was religion, it was families, it was order, the nation state, a lot of seen and unseen things that are not as simple and reductive as capitalism and individualism, right?
01:02:06.000You know, I would sacrifice everything Western civilization has created if it meant that our people could continue to exist.
01:02:13.000Because we could make more art, we could make more sculptures and.
01:02:18.000Cathedrals and laws and countries and things like that, but only if we survive.
01:02:25.000You know, so I would, in that way, it's almost, you know, sentimentalist or suicidal to want to cling to relics and artifacts and things like that if it means that we're all going to go down with them.
01:02:41.000You know, we're going to burn down with our house of trinkets and things if that's the mentality.
01:02:45.000So, yeah, I'll throw all this shit out because we can make new stuff.
01:02:49.000And we'll have a bright future if we could survive.
01:02:52.000But that's what these people don't understand.
01:02:53.000That was the point of the comparison to say, like, no matter what happens to us, as long as we as a people exist, it's better than us not existing.
01:03:05.000You know, the context of that clip was about illegal immigration.
01:03:11.000And I was talking about, like, the extent of illegal immigration and how it's irreversible, how the gains that these other ethnic groups are making at our expense in our own land.
01:03:21.000Is irreversible, cannot be turned back, or at least not easily, at least not with the current paradigm, without radical change, without radical ideas.
01:03:33.000And it was to say, you know, I would prefer that horrible things be visited upon this country because it would not mean the extinction of our people like immigration does.
01:05:14.000I didn't say I advocate for anti European ideals or anti Western ideas.
01:05:20.000I said I'd be willing to sacrifice everything we have to keep the people that can perpetuate those ideas.
01:05:25.000So, I mean, the guy just totally doesn't understand the context.
01:05:30.000You know, he thinks I'm saying I'm a communist, he thinks I'm saying that, like the immigrants, I'm in favor of leftism and, you know, so on.
01:05:39.000I'm saying I would prefer other destructive things to extinction because I love, you know, Western, so called Western things, European civilization.
01:05:49.000So that's just like a very simple misunderstanding.
01:05:52.000All your other videos, like the ones where you ironically talk about the cookie question, where you, at the very end, to say that it's all irony, you say, oh, I believe everything the government says sarcastically.
01:08:26.000Because this is something that this guy just doesn't understand.
01:08:30.000Or clearly has never thought about what is Western civilization?
01:08:35.000Even if he thinks it's creedal or even if he thinks it's cultural, well, the only people that can create Western civilization, you know, the creed, the culture, whatever you want to call it, are Europeans.
01:08:50.000And the only people that can maintain and perpetuate it are Europeans.
01:08:55.000So, yes, we may have to destroy the fruits of Western civilization to preserve the tree, to preserve the roots.
01:09:36.000If he had bothered to watch the whole show or even.
01:09:39.000You know, the 10 minutes before and after that little part, five minutes before and after that, like, 10 second clip, he would get what I'm saying.
01:09:49.000Maybe he would understand where I'm coming from, but, you know, he got, like, that little sound bite and he's like, oh, you're like a communist?
01:12:04.000And if they began to throw out some conjectures, well, why would somebody value their demographics?
01:12:15.000Well, maybe they believe there's a connection between their demographics and their culture.
01:12:20.000Maybe there's something intrinsic in demographics.
01:12:22.000Well, is there something intrinsic in demographics?
01:12:25.000For something to be intrinsic in demographics, that would mean that there's something intrinsic to the race itself, that there are biological distinctions between the races.
01:12:45.000Well, that would be a big question to ask.
01:12:47.000If you were to try to deduce some of the reasons, that would be a pretty big question to ask and one that can be answered through science or through history or through a number of things.
01:12:59.000And then, if you figure out, oh, well, there are racial differences, okay, so there are differences between the races.
01:13:04.000Maybe there is something intrinsic about a race.
01:13:07.000And therefore, a race has value in itself.
01:13:10.000And therefore, asking why you would value demographics, well, because the demographics are separate.
01:13:17.000And maybe if you value diversity, you'd like to have all these different groups.
01:13:21.000Or maybe you find a connection or a correlation between the demographic and the culture.
01:13:44.000The thought tree there, you know, to ask yourself a series of questions to try to deduce why one might value their heritage, I mean, this is not rocket science.
01:13:55.000And by the way, almost all of this can come down to, Like empirical evidence can come down to the so called history or data or whatever.
01:14:06.000But, you know, these people that's been just drilled into their head these platitudes about race.
01:14:24.000It's literally just, you know, people falling back on these, like, mantras and phrases that has just been repeated throughout their lives.
01:14:32.000But there's no actual critical process here.
01:14:34.000If people began to legitimately scrutinize these things without any bounds, without any kind of like, you know, these like thought restrictions based on, well, I can't go there, that's racist or whatever, if people just pursued this inquiry, they would end up where we are.
01:16:48.000A very narrow group of people have assimilated.
01:16:50.000They're all white people, and everybody else is not.
01:16:54.000Everybody else remains basically as separated as they were when they got here.
01:16:58.000And I'm not saying assimilation isn't possible on a case by case basis, and for some high IQ individuals or whatever, people that want to or have been here for generations.
01:17:41.000And Jason Richline has done a lot of work on this, where if you look at second, third, fourth, even fifth generation, the literacy, high school graduation rates, English proficiency, identification with the rest of America, it's virtually unchanged after the second generation.
01:23:07.000I literally said that in the video he's talking about, I literally said communism would be terrible, it would destroy the country, but it'd be better than the death of our race.
01:23:17.000So he's like, well, you're advocating communism, but communism is bad.
01:24:47.000You go back and you read liberals even in the 18th century, and the conception of liberty was not that you can, it was not abuse, abuse of your freedoms, right?
01:25:01.000But that's what these people are talking about.
01:25:03.000Because nobody's arguing that somebody should have the right to start a business or own property or something like that.
01:26:11.000And insofar as you're promoting a good society or you're exploring things that are good for you, then you're free to do so.
01:26:17.000But You know, that we are not going to have a society that is so free that it can choose to kill itself.
01:26:23.000That's all, you know, that, and that's what it entails.
01:26:26.000You're free to kill yourself, free to euthanize yourself.
01:26:28.000And this is, you know, on a civilizational level, what is being permitted.
01:26:33.000Well, if you want to stop your genetic line, you can.
01:26:37.000If you want to fuck up your life, you can.
01:26:39.000If you want to be a drag, you know, and a drain on society, you can.
01:26:44.000You want to be a bum, somebody that contributes nothing, somebody that's objectively harmful to themselves and others, well, You know, they don't really live in a free country.
01:28:14.000I want people to be healthy, happy, have families, express themselves in a way that is natural and organic, and in the long term will lead them to salvation.
01:28:29.000And you want the continuity of this horrible regime that is just like a vampiric, blood sucking regime that takes advantage of people's worst vices, their worst tendencies.
01:28:43.000I mean, that's what we're talking about because it's asymmetry, is what it is.
01:28:52.000So, talking about who's saving Western civilization.
01:31:30.000You know, if you're a real individualist, then there can be no restrictions on any individual on the basis of these other particular characteristics, not based on age.
01:31:42.000You know, oh, you think that a two year old shouldn't be able to buy heroin?
01:32:21.000Well, there are very real differences between the genders, obviously, physical, mental, temperamental, and otherwise.
01:32:30.000The things that apply to men do not apply to women.
01:32:32.000So, you know, there again, this individual sort of idea goes out the window.
01:32:37.000What we live in in a society, we live in a society of people that are differentiated in all kinds of ways.
01:32:43.000And that is how it has to be treated, basically, in terms of hierarchies, in terms of concentric circles of group identity, families, communities, regions, so on.
01:32:56.000You know, it's a much more, life is a lot more organic and interconnected.
01:33:03.000Than libertarians like to make it out to be.
01:33:05.000Libertarians believe in it, it is an industrial mentality.
01:33:10.000You know, there's a reason this guy's obsessed with the Industrial Revolution and GDP.
01:33:14.000And the reason Ayn Rand writes about locomotives and things like that is because they have a very mechanical view of humanity, mechanical as opposed to organic.
01:33:22.000You know, an organism, when you look at the human body or a cell, you know, cell organelles have many different functions within a cell, and many different kinds of cells have different functions within the human body.
01:33:34.000There's an ecosystem that is diverse and interdependent.
01:33:37.000And libertarians view a human society as basically completely inorganic.
01:33:42.000Of all these different impersonal cogs, gears in the machine, that's not how it works.
01:35:36.000In other words, all this is saying is a lot more complicated than what these people make it out to be, which is, oh, it's the individual versus the collective.
01:35:48.000You know, this guy, I'm sure, if he were asked, would you kill your mother or a homeless stranger?
01:36:22.000You value your community, those that are like you, people that you're familiar with.
01:36:29.000And you have to look after one another because sometimes people are not rational and sometimes people go astray and whatever, but the ultimate end game is our collective well being, not this sort of ridiculous moral, political philosophy about refraining from violating rights.
01:36:52.000This guy wants to see everybody die from drug overdoses because he would rather, in a very abstract way, everybody be free to make their own choices than.
01:38:12.000Is bringing us back to the dark ages, bringing us back to a time before innovation, back to a time before the individual's rights were respected, before the time when the individual mind could pursue for itself, could achieve for itself.
01:38:39.000There is this argument I used to hear all the time when I was a libertarian, which went something like this.
01:38:48.000The libertarians would say that the government is comprised of people just like yourself.
01:38:57.000So, why should they have any authority over you?
01:39:01.000In other words, they would say that a statist belief is that a statist or a technocrat or somebody knows better than you do, even though he's just a man like you are.
01:39:15.000And I would say that's very compelling.
01:41:02.000And everybody has equal dignity and everybody plays their part in an ecosystem, right?
01:41:08.000But trying to create a society based on the idea that we're all equal, everybody's opinion is of equal worth and everybody's equally capable, it's wrong.
01:41:18.000And that is why we're in the situation we're in.
01:41:20.000What ends up happening is we get governors anyway.
01:41:23.000The people that are competent or capable at acquiring power do it anyway.
01:41:29.000No, if we just tell ourselves everybody's capable of governing themselves, does it make it so?
01:41:45.000But pretending it's not, ignoring it, all it does is create a system of deception, which is what we have now.
01:41:51.000You know, I always make the comparison between Russia and the United States.
01:41:55.000In Russia and the United States, it's the same thing you've got a small elite at the top that runs the show, and you've got the groveling masses that toil away in the middle and on the bottom.
01:42:09.000There's no difference between these countries.
01:42:11.000Maybe, I mean, well, there are differences.
01:42:13.000There are differences that are not insignificant.
01:42:17.000But generally speaking, that's the same premise.
01:42:20.000It's the same premise everywhere in all times.
01:42:22.000The difference is, the major difference is in how that's regarded.
01:42:26.000In America, we refuse to believe this.
01:44:13.000I believe in this nothing ism, this substanceless ism, Westism.
01:44:19.000You know, and that's at the root of it all.
01:44:23.000You know, is that we are a completely nihilistic society devoid of meaning.
01:44:27.000And so we come up with these, like, things that we pretend to care about, but it's all signaling, it's all a fucking show.
01:44:33.000You know, coming up with these cultural or political narratives, these people don't care about that shit.
01:44:39.000I think if I came up to this guy and put a gun in his mouth and said, like, renounce Westism right now or I'll fucking blow your head off, do you think he would not immediately renounce everything he believes in?
01:46:13.000Even, you know, this guy with Christianity in the Dark Ages, you know, and anything that stands opposed to innovation, anything that stands opposed to comfort enhancement is necessarily evil, wrong, backwards, regressive.
01:46:26.000Even this idea of backwards and regressive, you know, it has almost this unthinking idea of like, Progress.
01:46:36.000To go backwards means there's a directionality to history.
01:53:11.000No, it's a yeah, it's about being white.
01:53:15.000No, Hispanics are not a part of Western civilization.
01:53:19.000In some sense, they are like an offshoot of Western civilization because Latin America is this fusion between indigenous and colonizing, settling people, in the sense that a Mexican is partly Amerindian and partly Spanish or whatever.
01:53:37.000Brazilian is partly Portuguese and indigenous.
01:53:40.000So, I mean, maybe they're an offshoot, but these are not the people that created the Western canon.
01:54:23.000I could go to Africa and I can beat the drums, the jungle drums, and I can spear hunt leopards or whatever they do there, and it wouldn't make me African.
01:54:35.000But why do people have to come to this country and we have to call them Western?
01:56:45.000When it comes to having an internal monologue, I mean, I guess maybe everyone has an internal monologue and they have a voice in their head, but do people engage with it?
01:56:56.000Are people using that intentionally and deliberately?
01:57:10.000That's, you know, dialogue implies there's two people, but, you know, most people it's almost like it's just repetition or it's off or whatever, but they just don't think.
01:57:21.000They just don't think these things through.
01:57:23.000You could tell that there's no process there.
01:57:25.000There's no process of like digesting information.
01:58:09.000So, alright, but let's finish the video here.
01:58:12.000You guys always talk about how these people are going to ruin capitalism, take away individualism, all the great things that the West achieved.
02:03:28.000You know, when it comes to anything like that, when it came to back alley abortions, when it came to, you know, if you're a prostitute or if you're a whore or a homosexual, a drug addict, an alcoholic, if you had an eating problem, you know, whatever it is, whatever your vices may be, nobody's saying that.
02:03:46.000You know, the guy, like, I've never advocated for the government arresting you because you're a sinner, but it's just the public will not be neutral on these matters.
02:03:54.000You know, the society and as a private entity, but also the state.
02:04:00.000That, you know, if you do something, you know, society's going to have something to say about it and will sort of self police.
02:04:07.000And maybe the state will play a role in that too.
02:04:56.000They don't want society to be neutral, they want to govern the society based on their moral vision.
02:05:02.000And that leads you to the fundamental truth, which is that society cannot be neutral.
02:05:08.000Society must take a position on these things.
02:05:10.000There is no such thing as live and let live.
02:05:14.000It's just that the ideas have changed.
02:05:17.000You know, the ideas about what that public morality should be have changed.
02:05:21.000So I'm not advocating that anything that is alien or anything that isn't already here, but we just have to change the morality back to something that is organic.
02:05:33.000And divinely inspired, and not this crap.
02:06:44.000Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another video.
02:06:47.000Today is my birthday, which means I just turned 19, and due to the weird laws in Nebraska, I have just become an adult apparently, which is freaking weird.
02:06:56.000So it's the second time I've ever become an adult.
02:07:43.000It's just my, it's January 23rd, 2020, my 19th birthday.
02:07:47.000I wonder, I will check twitter.com and see my notifications, and it's all kinds of people saying, you're ugly, look at the way he's a fucking idiot, blah, blah, blah.
02:07:57.000Hundreds of people piling on because he insulted some YouTuber.
02:08:35.000I've always, maybe I'm a sentimental person, but when it comes to holidays, when it comes to these kinds of things, I feel that there should be, you know, special consideration.
02:08:48.000Because, you know, most days are shitty, if I'm being honest.
02:08:51.000Most, well, you know, life is shitty generally.
02:08:56.000You know, most days life reigns on your parade.
02:08:59.000So, to have one day of the year where people are nice to you, send you some, you know, birthday wishes, they're thinking of you.
02:09:07.000They send you something nice, whatever, even if it's small, even if it's not a big deal.
02:09:12.000You know, to have a nice day is, I think, something that we should respect.
02:09:32.000But, nevertheless, you're away at school, away from your parents, he's out on a limb, he's doing his own thing, he doesn't have a huge following.
02:10:47.000But it's unpleasant, you know, to just be subject constantly to insults and ridicule and so on.
02:10:55.000And so when people participate in that from the mob, you know, it's just like some nobody.
02:11:00.000And they attacked somebody who was established.
02:11:02.000It is nice to turn the tables and be like, here, you be me for a day.
02:11:05.000You get attacked by 300 people on the internet for 24 hours, and you see what it's like, what I have to put with every day, and what you participate in when you attack me like this.
02:11:14.000But, you know, and as a young kid, I can understand if they're not thinking about it that way.
02:11:42.000He's an aspiring YouTuber, you know, and he's.
02:11:46.000I have a lot of, you know, I have a little bit of empathy.
02:11:49.000My white brother, my white Zoomer, you know, political autist brother, I have a little bit of empathy, you know, I have a little bit of solidarity.
02:11:58.000If I were an atomic individualist, I would say no.
02:12:23.000I'm not some Jew like Ben Shapiro where I'm going to hold some kind of ethnic blood feud with a teenager and I'm 40 years old and I have millions of dollars.
02:12:48.000But, you know, I, as well, it's not even about Christian, but it's just, you know, in my DNA, I guess, that I have restraint and empathy and so on.
02:13:00.000Doesn't mean that I can't go, you know, balls to the wall, sociopath mode.
02:13:04.000I mean, I can definitely go, I can definitely become a monster if I need to be.
02:14:14.000You know, people ask me, like, why I'm not looking for a girlfriend right now.
02:14:17.000It's like, because I can't, like, well, I don't believe in cohabitation, you know, and so if I were to date a girl, the expectation would be that I would, you know, marry that person.
02:14:30.000The idea is you date a person so you should marry that person, right?
02:14:35.000And you date for, you know, what, nine to 12 months and then you get married.
02:14:38.000If I'm not in a position in nine to 12 months to move in and start having babies, then why bother?
02:14:43.000I'm not going to be some, like, blue bald faggot.
02:14:46.000And like, date a girl for five years and like, cohabitate.
02:14:50.000You know, none of these options work, right?
02:14:54.000So, to me, it's always about a means to an end, right?
02:14:58.000That's the way I've always thought about it.
02:15:00.000People are like, well, like, and look, you can't date a girl for years and not have sex with her.
02:15:05.000And many people say, like, oh, you're just waiting until marriage.
02:15:08.000It's like, yeah, but it's like, you don't blue ball yourself for all that time.
02:15:13.000It's like, you get married so that you can, you know, fulfill the relationship, so to speak.
02:18:38.000I do, you know, when I'm by myself, I find I'm able to still have that same sense of wonder.
02:18:46.000You know, if I go on a trip, if I travel, I love nothing more than to rent a car, you know, and just drive in a different state and listen to music and try new restaurants, whatever.
02:18:59.000I do try to enjoy simple things like that.
02:19:01.000But it'll never be the same as when you're a kid and Christmas morning and you get presents under the tree.
02:25:46.000And the people I worked with were, you know, fucking, well, they were nice people, but it was like, You know, they wake up, they go to work, they go home, that's it, you know, and that's it.
02:25:57.000They go out on the weekends, they drink beer, whatever, but it's like, and I'm, you know, and I'm, you know, because I'm not a wage earned employee, I'm like a business owner in some sense.
02:26:08.000I'm, you know, I'm responsible for generating income and, you know, innovating or whatever.
02:26:14.000The difference between like going to work and being given tasks versus, you know, being on your own, basically.
02:26:20.000So it's not to say that I'm not like I'm a man child or something, but, you know, There is something about being wistful about your childhood and wondering about the nature of wonder or awe, things like that.
02:27:23.000You know what else about being young, which I thought about recently, is like with school.
02:27:29.000I never thought about this when I was a kid, but when you're in school, it's like you wake up, you go to school, and your teacher has stuff planned for you.
02:27:41.000And your school has stuff planned for you, and your parents take care of you.
02:29:38.000Solid Snake says, I planned this huge birthday party for my best friend in college three years ago with 20 people and this bitch tried making it all about her.
02:30:44.000John Baptista says, You have spoken previously on the need to adopt a new dialectic.
02:30:49.000What do you think of Jason Cones laid out in Go Free?
02:30:53.000Yeah, I've seen you spam this over and over.
02:30:55.000You're not really schmooting right now.
02:30:58.000Imagine I'm schmooting about SmackDown vs. Raw and Hey Ya and Lilo and Stitch, and you want to just spam your question about the new dialectic that No White Guilt has put out.
02:33:02.000Thomas Wayne punches him and he says, If you ever go near my kid again, I'll fucking kill you.
02:33:07.000And then he's laughing and his nose is bleeding on the sink.
02:33:11.000And then it cuts to his apartment and he's leaning over in the same way.
02:33:15.000My favorite shot of the movie is he opens up the fridge, he empties the fridge of all the bread and all the different compartments, and he closes the fridge and then he tries to close it, it doesn't seal, he closes it again.
02:33:29.000And if you've watched this movie as many times as I have, you notice that the shot lingers uncomfortably on the closed fridge for like 10 seconds, well, maybe 5 to 10 seconds.
02:33:43.000It's sort of like a shaky angle, and it sort of moves, the camera moves forward a little bit, but it sort of like uncomfortably lingers on the shot of him after he's put himself in the fridge.
02:37:17.000It was this compilation, like greatest hits, soul music, and it had the Isley Brothers, Teddy Pendergrass, Four Tops, OJs, Barry White, stuff like that.
02:37:33.000So I was very into this kind of music when I was.
02:37:36.000A lot of one hit wonders, too, like Blue Magic.
02:37:40.000And who is the one who sings Me and Mrs. Jones?
02:40:09.000I listen to a lot of the classic rock, you know, Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, even more contemporary stuff like Hootie and the Blowfish.
02:40:25.000I'm pretty well rounded when it comes to music.
02:41:38.000This video is basically a follow up or expansion on my.
02:41:42.000Video that I created on Wednesday that basically, I think the title is Nick Fuentes Wants to Destroy Western Civilization.
02:41:49.000It's the one where he has that clip on Twitter where he talks about, like, oh, I'd rather have communism than what we have right now.
02:41:58.000And how it just kind of shows that he doesn't really understand what Western civilization is built off of and what makes it great if he basically makes that point.
02:42:14.000A lot of comments on that video because basically there is a Twitter page that posted some clips of it, and it's a pretty decently followed Twitter page.
02:42:24.000It's a lot of Gripers on that page, and they posted a couple clips from that video on their page, and I think Dobby told me about it, and yeah, basically.
02:42:35.000So I saw that, and yeah, then a bunch of Gripers came to my channel and started commenting on my video, which is a good time.
02:42:44.000If you see the video that I did the other day about Responding to critique, you'll know how I responded to that.
02:44:33.000Like, as I said in my last video, I have gotten.
02:44:36.000I actually have experienced both sides of that critique dichotomy that I talked about.
02:44:40.000Having irrational critiques levied at you by the Groypers and rational critiques levied at you by other objectivists like Davi.
02:44:49.000So he said, I should go more in depth on this topic and basically more or less explain what Western civilization is and why Nick Fuentes' ideas are anti-West and don't understand the essence of what Western civilization is.
02:45:04.000So, to do this, basically, my premise is that Western civilization is built off of individualism.
02:45:39.000Little innovation, little thought, very irrational times, very low life expectancy, all that sort of stuff.
02:45:45.000And the Industrial Revolution was a time of freedom, of capitalism, a time where the life expectancy shot up, where the quality of living, it was basically a hockey stick graph.
02:46:06.000Now, I don't think I didn't go very in depth in that.
02:46:09.000That's basically the essence of what I said in my last video.
02:46:11.000So, basically, the goal is to go more in depth with it in this video.
02:46:15.000Basically, explain the history of the West and why the West is great today.
02:46:20.000And I think most people acknowledge that.
02:46:23.000There's some people who don't, but I'm not interested in talking to them today.
02:46:27.000The West is obviously great because, I mean, it is the most wealthy, full of the most wealthy nations, the most prosperous nations, all those sort of things.
02:47:38.000And by the way, not even wealthy for like the middle class or the working class, but just like the most wealthy in general, which I assume is that he means that.
02:47:48.000You know, like late stage capitalism, where obviously the GDP is very high and, you know, relative to other countries, we're rich, but, you know, we're not rich in the way we were 50 years ago.
02:49:38.000And then you had Socrates, who basically taught Plato, who taught Aristotle.
02:49:43.000And this is like the beginning of the best philosophy of the West.
02:49:50.000Plato basically set up the branches of philosophy metaphysics, epistemology, ethics.
02:49:57.000Politics, aesthetics, and Aristotle, in my opinion, perfected it.
02:50:01.000And if you look at most of Western history, you can see it's largely a duel between Aristotle and Plato.
02:50:07.000Plato basically had this view that reality isn't perfect, that everything in reality reflects these perfect forms that we can't know as human beings through reason.
02:50:20.000Or we can know through reason, but we are.
02:50:23.000I'm not explaining his view very well.
02:50:26.000But he had this view that reality, or that certain people, only certain people can know what these true forms are, and these are the philosophers.
02:50:35.000And these people become philosopher kings who know more than the rest of the populace.
02:50:41.000And basically, tell everyone what to do.
02:50:43.000It's opposed to the view that the individual mind can use reason to discover truths about reality for itself.
02:50:50.000Aristotle was the opposite of this view, basically.
02:50:54.000He explained that no, human beings, each individual person can know reality for himself and can discover truth for himself.
02:51:03.000And ultimately, in ethics, he had this very positive concept of eudaimonia that every human being's goal should be to achieve happiness.
02:51:13.000And this is the positive element of the West.
02:51:27.000Then, after that, you later have the Romans, who developed basically off the backs of the Greeks.
02:51:32.000Roman civilization is very similar to Greek civilization to begin with.
02:51:37.000Also, going back to Greek civilization, this view that you want to discover and know more about reality led them to.
02:51:44.000A good amount of scientific discoveries, especially with Aristotle, and a lot of development.
02:51:50.000Greece is kind of this shining spark that gets Western civilization going, which is much different than the rest of the world, which was still enshrouded in mysticism for the most part.
02:52:01.000So, this is basically what made the West great Aristotle.
02:52:06.000So, then you go to the Roman Empire, and this is around the time basically when Jesus happened, when Jesus died on the cross and Christianity began.
02:52:17.000And Christianity was very much based off Plato.
02:52:19.000This idea that there's a supernatural realm, that human beings are flawed, can't truly know reality, and basically they need some higher power, which is God.
02:52:30.000And this led to a very anti individualistic sentiment, and ultimately to the fall of Rome, because, I mean, the Romans were.
02:52:39.000I'm not a historian by any means, so I might not get everything accurate here, but I do have these general principles.
02:52:45.000And basically, when the Romans began to accept Christianity, when they became more mystical, they began to fall.
02:52:50.000When they left behind being a republic and converted to a dictatorship, basically, that's when they began to fall because the people of the civilization don't elect their leaders.
02:58:00.000Not that his worldview is wrong, but when he says, oh, it's all about ideas, you know, in one way he is being reductive because he doesn't know what he's talking about, but more than that, you know, he talks about ideas are the driver of history.
03:06:03.000So my advisor told me to take this calculus class.
03:06:06.000She said it's calculus for social sciences.
03:06:10.000And the course code was, I forget what the course code was, but it was two letters and a number.
03:06:19.000And it was calculus for the social sciences, and it was like the College of Arts and Sciences class number, you know, 123, whatever it was.
03:06:33.000And the only reason I took that class is because it applied calculus to social sciences.
03:06:38.000I was going to be an IR poli sci major.
03:06:42.000And I said, it's useless really for me to take a math class because I'm not going to be a mathematician.
03:06:46.000I might as well take something that applies to my major.
03:06:48.000So I wanted calculus for the social sciences.
03:06:51.000It was, you know, College of Arts and Sciences.
03:06:53.000That was a liberal arts school I was in and some number.
03:06:57.000Well, this professor, my calc professor, he was teaching out of, he was teaching like general calculus.
03:07:07.000And we went throughout almost the whole semester without learning anything about social sciences.
03:07:14.000Why are we not learning about anything from the social sciences?
03:07:18.000And wouldn't you know, I looked up, I stumbled upon this one day that the same number code, there was a class in School of Education, but with the same number.
03:07:44.000In any case, so my class, let's say it was CAS 123, College of Arts and Sciences, class number 123, was calculus for the social sciences.
03:07:52.000Well, in the School of Education, which I forget the acronym for that, but let's say it was like, you know, E for education, it was like E 123.
03:08:00.000It was the same number, but it was a different school.
03:08:03.000And that class was just like straight up calculus.
03:08:08.000And I looked, and the textbook was a textbook for the general calculus class, not for the social science class.
03:08:17.000So I went to my advisor and I said, Hey, what the fuck?
03:08:20.000I said, I signed up for calculus for the social sciences.
03:08:24.000And I said, We haven't learned anything about social sciences.
03:08:27.000We've been learning about general calculus.
03:08:29.000And I said, That would make sense because we're learning out of the general calculus textbook.
03:08:34.000And I said, and that would make sense also because the general calculus class has the same class code as the class I'm supposed to be taking.
03:08:45.000I said, so what it seems like to me is that, and the teacher was Jewish, by the way, he was like some Jewish German immigrant with a thick accent.
03:08:52.000I said, so it seems like to me like Dr. you know, whatever, Stein, whatever, fucked it up.
03:09:00.000And he thought he was teaching a different class.
03:09:02.000And that's why I got the wrong textbook and the wrong curriculum.
03:09:07.000For a class with the same code but in a different school.
03:09:11.000And the advisor told me, Oh, that's ridiculous.
03:09:16.000You know, some teachers just teach the classes a different way.
03:09:19.000I'm like, Bafangul, that's not what's happening.
03:09:22.000This guy's teaching the wrong fucking class.
03:09:25.000He taught it differently, teaching out of the wrong textbook.
03:09:29.000There was a separate textbook for calculus for the social sciences.
03:09:33.000He was teaching out of a general calculus textbook.
03:09:37.000And I ended up dropping that class for that reason.
03:09:40.000But I went through that class maybe until a month beforehand.
03:09:44.000So most of the semester, we didn't learn anything about social sciences.
03:09:49.000And I remember I went back to class, like one more time, I think, after that meeting with the advisor, and he, like, started to adjust the curriculum right after I, like, made a stink about it.
03:10:00.000And at that point, I was like, fuck college.
03:11:14.000The, um, The five books of Moses, we read for one of these English classes from a Jewish perspective.
03:11:24.000The five books of Moses, which is the Pentateuch or whatever, I don't know what the fucking word is, but it's like the first five books is the basis of the Torah.
03:11:33.000And we read that for this English class.
03:11:37.000And in one of the stories, if you remember, when Moses is trying to get the Jews to escape from Egypt.
03:13:08.000If she mistranslated or the book, whatever, but the idea that the heart is hardened is not that God, like, manipulated his decision, but it was that, like, because the Pharaoh was, you know, evil or whatever, you know, he was opposed to God, he was arrogant or prideful, God's presence or commands caused him to be hardened in his resolve, basically.
03:13:35.000That's what's like, wow, well, that completely changed my understanding of that.
03:13:39.000So it's like, I got taught all these goofy things.
03:17:18.000And this led to very hierarchical structures with these kings leading, basically, and with ultimately the Pope being like the arbiter of what is good and what is bad.
03:17:28.000And basically, it was very like theocratic rule because the Pope knows what's best.
03:17:33.000And because he is this higher being who, or this higher person who knows, who has contact with God.
03:17:46.000And basically, people were largely enslaved.
03:17:48.000There were a lot of serfs at the time, and this was not a very good time in human history because people were not trusted to use their own minds, to be free, to create for themselves, to be individuals and pursue their own happiness, like what Aristotle said.
03:19:13.000Yeah, I think that's the name of the dude who basically started to oppose reason in the Islamic world and said that no human beings can't use reason, individuals can't use reason.
03:19:47.000This is when you had a man named Thomas Aquinas, who I respected back when I was religious, and because I would have considered myself more of like one of the rational religious people.
03:19:58.000But I respected him back when I was religious, and I still respect him now because basically what he did was he took Aristotle's ideas and basically tried to combine Christianity with reason.
03:21:12.000It led to a rebirth of Greek civilization.
03:21:16.000It's when Aristotle was basically injected back into the West.
03:21:20.000When individuals were allowed to think again, allowed to make discoveries again.
03:21:25.000When individuals were beginning to try to live to be happy again.
03:21:29.000And this is also a good time when the art began to change from just really pessimistic, super religious art to it's still religious art, but it's more like glorifying the human body and glorifying life.
03:21:42.000The art of the Renaissance, basically.
03:21:44.000And this rebirth of Aristotle, the ideas of individualism, of reason, of this idea that the individuals can discover reality and know truth of themselves and achieve happiness for themselves.
03:21:56.000This is when this was injected back into the West.
03:23:29.000I mean, I'm not saying it's not a factor if people don't have influence over time or anything like that, but you know, statesmen are not making decisions in Renaissance Italy based on like what Aristotle said.
03:23:41.000Nobody's saying, like, oh, I'm like really Platonic right now.
03:23:45.000Like, these are not the incentives, these are not the causes that are motivating people at the time.
03:23:52.000Even like today, no politician is like, oh, I'm really Platonic right now.
03:24:31.000All this fucking guy can say is the same buzzwords: uh, reason, uh, happiness, uh, the individual.
03:24:38.000He doesn't know what any of these things mean.
03:24:40.000Applied to politics with Lockean philosophy, the idea that every individual has the right to life, liberty, um, property, and the pursuit of happiness.
03:24:49.000Um, because individuals can think for themselves, they can, um, they can live for themselves as well.
03:24:55.000Because they can discover truth for themselves and discover what is best for them to live for themselves.
03:25:01.000And therefore, they should be allowed to pursue happiness for themselves.
03:25:04.000And all of this culminated in what created America.
03:25:08.000These individualistic ideas, this is key.
03:25:10.000These individualistic ideas culminated in the creation of America, the only real country founded on these ideological principles.
03:25:22.000And yeah, this basically led to America's prosperity because during the Industrial Revolution, which happened right after America's founding, since America was founded on these principles, it's very explicitly founded on Lockean rights this idea that individuals can think for themselves and choose for themselves.
03:25:39.000Sargon's right after this, you have the Industrial Revolution, which is when individuals thought for themselves.
03:25:45.000I'm gonna keep repeating this point because this is key.
03:25:48.000We're allowed to use their own minds to think about reality and find new ways to create things to produce new things to create all the advancements of the Industrial Revolution.
03:26:04.000And during this time, you see life expectancy, standard of living skyrocket.
03:26:09.000It's a hockey stick graph for all of human history.
03:26:13.000It was just basically flat until the Industrial Revolution, where everything skyrockets.
03:26:17.000Because this is the first time that we truly allowed individuals to use their mind to discover reality and to put different things together and create new things and be productive for themselves and achieve their own happiness.
03:27:50.000Now, this is why I get so annoyed when people like Nick Fuentes, the Catholics, the Breiters argue against these individualistic principles.
03:27:59.000Because they are directly opposing the human mind.
03:28:02.000The idea that a human being should be able to think for himself, to live for himself, to use his own mind to produce for himself.
03:29:35.000You know, the Federal Reserve was 1913, and we had the Industrial Revolution with fiat money, we had the Industrial Revolution with tariffs.
03:29:45.000That's pretty strong state involvement in the economy with miscegenation laws, Jim Crow laws, all of it.
03:29:53.000Not endorsing all of that, but you know, America was an extremely Christian country and also a protectionist.
03:30:05.000This was not a completely laissez faire country.
03:30:08.000During that time, really, even all that individualistic, either.
03:30:12.000I mean, maybe more individualistic than most, but not like it is today.
03:30:18.000Not like it, you know, these guys are confusing the Industrial Revolution with the Reagan Revolution.
03:30:45.000And what did the 80s produce in terms of wealth?
03:30:49.000Produced a lot of money for rich people, a lot of skyscrapers, but has the lot of the middle class, ordinary person improved in the last 40 years?
03:31:54.000Well, it was generations of people that were Christian and all that.
03:31:59.000Christian, strong traditional family values, nationalistic, patriotic, virtuous, and also, you know, had a civic consciousness, had a state consciousness.
03:32:13.000And what produced the millennials in Generation Z?
03:32:18.000The boomers, Gen X. Which is the antithesis of all that.
03:32:25.000So, you know, to credit the Industrial Revolution to hyper individualism is just retarded, just wrong.
03:32:35.000He believes that America should go back to the Dark Ages, to these Christian principles that people can't think for themselves, that we need to look to God, that we need to look to family, that we need to look to all these things, and that we can't.
03:32:51.000Allow in immigrants because we need to like protect our own people and all the all those sort of very collectivistic ideas.
03:32:58.000Because thinking about your own America was collectivist, that's the whole whatever that means.
03:33:07.000America had collective identity in the 20th century, that's the whole point.
03:33:12.000Dipshit, family, Christian, all those things you listed were present during the Industrial Revolution and are not present now.
03:35:20.000He opposes everything that has made the West great, he opposes everything that has made America great.
03:35:26.000He is directly opposed to this because his ideas directly lead us back to the Dark Ages.
03:35:35.000So, his opposition to immigrants based on the fact that they are probably opposed to Western values and because they can't think for themselves, they're simply part of this larger culture, is so directly antithetical to the ideas of the Enlightenment, the ideas of Aristotle, the ideas of the Industrial Revolution that made America what it is, that made the West what it is.
03:36:09.000And if you look historically, you see every group has largely fit into American culture.
03:36:13.000You look at the Italians, they've largely fit into American culture.
03:36:16.000You look at the Irish people, they've largely fit into American culture.
03:36:21.000Um, and as long as we don't promote these multiculturalist ideas that um, that the West isn't the best, like what the left is doing, which i'm very opposed to, by the way um, as long as we don't promote those multiculturalist ideas that these people should keep to themselves, then I don't see any reason why they wouldn't assimilate, why they wouldn't Become part of a larger Western culture, because individuals have the ability to reason, to think for themselves, to adopt better ideas.
03:36:47.000That's what the West feeds them, as long as we are confident in ourselves and believe that the West does have the best ideas.
03:36:54.000Now, the issue with Nick Fuentes is he doesn't believe that the West has the best ideas because he doesn't believe that individuals should be free to reason, that they have the ability to reason for themselves, because he believes that immigrants are determined to be this certain way.
03:37:08.000So, when these immigrants come to America, They will assimilate if we are strong on our principles, if we believe in, if we strongly believe in these American principles.
03:37:20.000So, this is why I fight multiculturalism as well as the Nick Fuentes types.
03:37:25.000But I think the Nick Fuentes types are much more dangerous because they claim to want to preserve Western civilization while at the same time destroying all the ideals that it stands up for.
03:37:36.000The idea that individuals can reason and think for themselves and use their own mind to discover. truths about reality.
03:37:44.000And when you believe that immigrants can't do that, when you believe that human beings, these immigrants, they can't come in and assimilate to these better values of American culture, you are very explicitly denying the fact that human beings have the ability to think for themselves.
03:38:02.000You're very explicitly denying that individuals have their own minds, that they aren't necessarily part of this collective.
03:38:09.000You're implicitly denying those facts that Western civilization was built off of, that America was founded on.
03:38:15.000So, and that is why I think it was very abhorrent or very telling when Nick Fuentes argued that he would rather have communism than what we have right now, because communism is directly opposed to those ideas.
03:38:36.000Now, when he argues against this dichotomy of capitalism and communism, he's implicitly arguing against the dichotomy between reason and unreason.
03:38:56.000He thinks that Christianity is what matters.
03:38:59.000And, I mean, as I kept saying in that video, if Christianity is what matters, then we should invite in all the Mexicans we can because Mexicans are the religious ones.
03:48:37.000They will take and beat him and take his shoes, yeah.
03:48:41.000This guy's gonna come over and say, hey, are you a westernist?
03:48:44.000And they're just gonna fucking beat the shit out of him and steal his Jordans, steal his clothes, steal his phone, wallet, fucking kill him.
03:54:29.000Let me just go on YouTube and I'll just search Jason Richwine.
03:54:33.000The argument that is one that specifically talks about assimilation.
03:54:51.000I'm not sure if this is up in my paint.
03:54:53.000All I'm trying to point out is that when you have substantial immigration from outside of Europe, there is an extra assimilation challenge that is here that is substantially different from the one that we had 100 years ago.
03:55:05.000And I really would like Mark just to acknowledge that fact, although he's done that to some degree today.
03:55:15.000We should have a non ethnic based system, but we need to go slow with it so we can actually get assimilation to work.
03:55:22.000Race versus SES, I do think that socioeconomic status certainly exacerbates racial tensions.
03:55:28.000But I think that there still is a racial dimension to social tension that goes beyond SES.
03:55:35.000In particular, when you look at the history of European immigrants, I mean, most of them were quite poor when they came, much like immigrants who come today.
03:55:42.000But in the case of Europeans, they did assimilate, and we don't see the sorts of tensions that existed back then.
03:55:49.000I would also point out that when we look at what people fight about, what our politics are about, We rarely hear about, I don't know, for example, prison riots between the prisoners who are of a higher SES or something.
03:56:04.000Usually you're separating people by race.
03:56:08.000It's something that's real and is not entirely explained by SES.
03:56:10.000I don't know if that was a clip I was looking for, but you guys should watch.
03:56:46.000On the issue of the practical limits to immigration, I mean, there is a practical limit, and Mark is right when he says that as soon as it becomes no more attractive for someone from the third world to come to America compared to where he is currently, Then that's the practical limit to immigration.
03:57:01.000I think that the effect of that would be to, as you said, lower the standard of living in America, raise the standard of living in third world countries for sure.
03:57:10.000That's what the free market gives you.
03:57:11.000It seems to me that there is more to the market.
03:57:14.000I mean, sorry, more to the immigration policy.
03:57:16.000Somebody says, don't want to counter signal, but groups like Irish and Italians were discriminated against when they first arrived.
03:57:22.000That's literally the stupidest, most basic bitch argument against or in favor of mass immigration, which he addresses in this talk if you're interested in the answer.
03:57:33.000Somebody says SCS, no, it's SES, socioeconomic status.
03:57:41.000I was a little disappointed to hear Mark's response to my original comments because he just kind of repeated the false syllogism about some people were able to overcome problems, therefore, everyone will overcome problems.
03:57:54.000On Zulus, again, if in 1910 there were a million Zulus, would today they be just like the descendants of the Irish who came then?
03:58:04.000And furthermore, I agree that if we had a million English in Virginia, there would be an assimilation problem, but in two or three generations it would be gone.
03:58:13.000There would certainly not be any ethnic grievance push there because they would be the social equals.
03:58:32.000I'm happy to be commenting on what I think is an excellent book that Mark wrote, and I don't want to bore people by just talking about how wonderful it is, so I'll just be really quick about that.
03:58:47.000The first thing is that his thesis is deceptively simple.
03:58:52.000Basically, what he says is look, there are a number of disparate arguments here about why we should restrict immigration.
03:58:57.000He talks about culture, you have sovereignty, you have national security, labor markets, and all these things are not necessarily views shared by all people who oppose immigration.
03:59:08.000And sometimes that can be problematic because it's sort of a grab bag approach.
03:59:12.000If you don't like A, well, just try B or try argument C.
03:59:16.000But he gives this underlying justification, which says look, these are concerns of a modern society.
03:59:22.000And that is sort of a way to bolster these disparate arguments and allow people to sort of feel as if they are part of a cohesive argument.
03:59:31.000The other thing I like quite a bit, and Mark didn't mention this in his remarks, was the notion of post Americans that he talks about, these sort of transnational elites.
03:59:40.000I love the phrase post American because it is clearly distinct from anti American, because that's not what Mark is talking about.
03:59:47.000He's not talking about people who dislike America per se, right?
03:59:51.000Have, for whatever reason, sort of graduated to an extent where they no longer feel as if they are Americans but are something else.
03:59:58.000Some of them feel as if they are citizens of the world.
04:00:01.000Others feel like they are part of a group that does not necessarily have a geographically contiguous association.
04:00:08.000So one might be a Hispanic living in America, as Mark did allude to, rather than an American.
04:00:14.000So those are the things I like about the book, and I think that it is a very valuable contribution to the debate.
04:00:20.000I do have a criticism, though, a single one, although it is substantial.
04:00:25.000Despite the fact that I like the book overall, I have to say I disagree with the very first sentence of the book.
04:00:30.000And that was the introduction, and I'll just read that quickly.
04:00:34.000He says, What's different about immigration today as opposed to a century ago is not the characteristics of the newcomers, but the characteristics of our society.
04:01:30.000But the reality is that we are not going to be that way, and we shouldn't be basing policy on that either.
04:01:36.000Now, the second reason I think race is important is that there are real differences between groups, not just trivial ones that we happen to notice more than we should.
04:01:44.000Races differ in all sorts of ways, and probably the most important way is in IQ.
04:01:51.000Decades of psychometric testing has indicated that, at least in America, you have Jews with the highest average IQ, usually followed by East Asians, and then you have non Jewish whites.
04:02:05.000They're not going to go away tomorrow.
04:02:07.000And for that reason, we have to address them in our immigration discussions and our debates.
04:02:13.000And you can see that when you combine these two things, group differences in ability combined with a natural tribal disposition, is going to create usually parallel cultures within a multiracial society rather than an assimilated culture.
04:02:28.000And I think that is a major, major obstacle to the assimilation of today's immigrants because they are not.
04:02:34.000From Europe, which is, I think, a major difference which Mark sort of tries to avoid discussing.
04:02:40.000Now, I know what the common response is here, and Mark mentions it in his book a little bit, which is to say something like, well, you know, the Irish used to be considered non white, and now they're white today.
04:02:54.000This is based on a syllogism that is fairly obviously false, right?
04:02:59.000The syllogism, if you sort of work it out logically, goes like this it says, some people in the past who were unassimilable.
04:03:06.000Who were thought to be unassimilable actually ended up being assimilated.
04:03:10.000Therefore, everyone who we think is unassimilable will actually be assimilated later on.
04:03:16.000Obviously, you can see the fallacy here where you can't generalize this claim without evidence.
04:03:20.000And I think that there are a number of counterexamples here already in America.
04:03:25.000We have blacks, we have American Indians, and even early Mexican Americans who have been living in the country for a long time and have not assimilated to the cultural mainstream as typified by white Americans.
04:03:38.000Obviously, I think with blacks, we know that.
04:03:41.000At least in my opinion, I think black and white cultures actually have diverged in the last 50 years rather than converge.
04:03:46.000American Indians have been here a long time, and we still have Indian reservations.
04:03:51.000And Mexican Americans, and we tend to think of them as being here only recently, and I believe it's something like three quarters of them have been either first or second generation immigrants today.
04:04:00.000But they've been around since the Mexican American War.
04:04:03.000Several thousand families were already living in the areas that the United States acquired during that war.
04:04:08.000And they've been here ever since, and I don't think that they have been.
04:04:15.000Defined as white, certainly not by Europeans, and really not by themselves either, except in the cases where they're trying to distinguish themselves from being black.
04:04:24.000In fact, it's interesting that as part of the deal with Mexico, the Mexican Americans were given legal definition as white by the United States government because they needed to conform to the Naturalization Act, which had reserved it to white people.
04:04:39.000But even that legal definition has not changed their status.
04:04:46.000I don't know if Mark is going to get a chance to respond directly to what I'm saying, but if he does, I think it would be a good place to start by answering a question I'm about to pose in the form of a thought experiment, which is just to imagine if early immigrants in the 20th century, say, you know, the Italians, the Poles, the Jews, the Irish, imagine if we replaced all of them with, say, Australian Aborigines, Pakistanis, and Cambodians.
04:05:07.000Imagine if they were the immigrants in the early part of the 20th century.
04:05:10.000Can we really say, with any kind of rational argument, that they today would be considered absolutely indistinguishable from the white majority?
04:05:18.000That there would be no cultural differences between them, I think it's very difficult to make that argument.
04:05:22.000So I think that would be a good place to start.
04:05:24.000I see your sort of triangulation attempt, right?
04:05:27.000Because in the book, when you say immigrants are no different from anyone else, it's helpful because you can say, well, at least I'm not like Rich Wine and then people like me.
04:05:38.000But nevertheless, I think it would be a lot healthier to discuss this issue, the racial issue here, because look, I mean, it's here and it's not going away and we can't wish it away.
04:05:47.000I do not believe that race is insurmountable, certainly not.
04:05:51.000It is definitely a larger barrier today than it was for immigrants in the past simply because they are not from Europe.
04:06:08.000He's one of my favorites, one of the best, and not really well known, surprisingly.
04:06:14.000Or not as well known, I should say, at least in my opinion, in these circles, at least with younger people, as somebody like Jared Taylor or Peter Brimelow.
04:06:24.000But Jason Richrines, one of the top guys on immigration, and he actually got fired, I think it was, from National Review because they discovered, or from Heritage Foundation, I think it was, because they found that his thesis when he was back at school was about the racial differences and how they track with immigrants.
04:06:47.000So I think it was Heritage he got canned from because they went back and they discovered that.
04:06:53.000And he's been one of the best guys on immigration for a long time.
04:07:04.000After a co study by Richwine regarding the cost of illegal immigration was released by the Heritage Foundation, former Washington Post reporter Dylan Matthews found the dissertation and wrote a blog about it.
04:07:19.000Richwine resigned from the Heritage Foundation shortly afterward because he argued that Hispanics and blacks are intellectually inferior to whites and have trouble assimilating because of a genetic predisposition to lower IQ.
04:07:31.000Yeah, so this guy's like totally BR and all that.
04:07:36.000And very intelligent, very articulate, obviously.
04:07:38.000He's got a lot of great stuff, which you should watch.
04:07:41.000He's got a speech at US Inc., CIS up here, AEI, which I actually spoke at US Inc.
04:09:15.000And I remember I almost didn't even go through with this speech because they called me beforehand and they said, this was in September 2017.
04:09:24.000And they said, like, oh, you're not a white nationalist, right?
04:09:29.000Because Charlottesville was just two months prior.
04:09:32.000And they were very concerned, well, I don't know if they were very concerned, but they were slightly concerned.
04:09:36.000They said, we just want to make sure that you're not like, you know, whatever.
04:18:59.000I haven't really even seen too many Beaches like that, right?
04:19:08.000Niggas sleepy high, wake up stoned Pick up with my bros, nigga hit my line with my bone Hoppin' the whip and I roll Gettin' these women just givin' them dick, that's for sure Niggas just talkin', we livin' it though Tend to pull up in this bitch in my robe Coachy boy sprintin' on top, fillin' with hoes They don't want drama, they gon' get exposed My new bitch don't model, we drink out the bottle Be so high, you probably would think I was close Yo,
04:19:32.000it's me and the shit finna go Chillin' up with the coke and I'm sippin' the foes Slit your line off my dick, put a tip of my dick in the nose Whoa, where did we go?
04:19:39.000Got my own papers, I don't I feel like I've seen two people.
04:30:26.000It's supposed to be that you can turn the X filter on and off, but I guess they just put it on me permanently, which is kind of offensive.
04:30:36.000Because it's like, you know, I can discern when I should be X tagged and when I shouldn't be, and I'm like one of the biggest streamers on this website, so, you know, that they would.
04:30:52.000You know, there's like a tab where you can toggle do I want to be X filtered, do I not want to be X filtered, and every time I turn it off, it automatically goes on.
04:31:02.000So that means they put it on you permanently.
04:31:04.000And it's, I don't know, I feel like if I were anybody else and I were the biggest streamer on the site, they would treat me nicely.
04:33:47.000Alright, let me blow this bitch, I'm famous, I blame with some youth I'm here to hang in my penthouse roof Skyline the clearest, wide gym, pop sticks Poppin' out, you look the weirdest Pop my top on the wall, it's five head, no power steering I, oh, oh Luxury,

04:42:19.000The sex was on my mind for the whole damn route.
04:42:21.000My mom was in the frenzy and the horns.
04:42:23.000But I couldn't drop dimes cause you couldn't relate You couldn't relate You couldn't relate You couldn't relate Stretch out your legs, let me make you fall.
04:42:43.000Drop your insane, drop your up the wall.
04:42:46.000Staring at your own piece, very strong.
04:42:48.000Stronger than Price, stronger than Teflon.
04:51:27.000They like the idea of, like, our folk and our nation and all that.
04:51:31.000But then when you actually look at, like, our people and what they eat and what they watch on TV and whatever, and a lot of these so called, like, movement nationalists fucking hate them.
04:54:00.000But that also, to me, doesn't really make or break it.
04:54:03.000It's like, he would still be the best.
04:54:07.000Well, you know, I'm not talking about to what extent that played a part in his work ethic, but, you know, if he was everything he was and he was Protestant, it's like, you know, or not Italian, it wouldn't matter to him, you know what I mean?
04:55:08.000Heck, have you ever played the Doom remake?
05:04:37.000Horrible about Billie Eilish is she has this like image as this like indie, like young girl, and she like you know made her own success.
05:04:47.000It's like her parents are industry, like music people, music industry people, you know, like they were connected, and she's connected, and they're gonna make it out like, oh, she's just like self made pop star, my ass.
05:10:18.000Like a rabbit, I like carrots I'm allergic to having bunny eggs Like broke, like nope, like huh, I ain't no joke I can't be stopped Like nope, like nope Still ain't no joke Two seats in the 9-11,
