Summary
The Urban Monoculture is the dominant cultural group in the world and one of the descendants of European imperialism. It sees itself as naturally superior to all other cultural groups and perspectives, seeing them as essentially backward savages, and its imperative is to spread over all of the world s population. As such, it only survives by parasitizing children from nearby demographically healthy cultural groups, or importing families from geographically distant cultures and converting their children.

I often say that the urban monoculture loves the LGBT community in the same way Hamas loves
00:00:04.440
hospitals. It sets up the most imperious elements of its operation in the hearts of vulnerable
00:00:09.900
communities to divert attacks against it to those communities, allowing it to claim the
00:00:15.380
moral high ground. This can be seen in its tendency to use the rainbow flag to show conquest
00:00:20.320
over institutions. After a mosque, synagogue, et cetera, has been conquered, they will hang this
00:00:25.480
out front to direct anger away from the culprit of the cultural erasure and towards the LGBT
00:00:30.420
community. Now, if you have fallen victim to their propaganda, you might be saying, oh, but what's
00:00:37.120
the difference? I mean, the vast majority of gay people are progressives, right? 45% of gay men in
00:00:44.000
the last election cycle voted for Donald Trump. People are like, no, it needs to redirect the
00:00:47.920
anger at the LGBT community. It needs that the LGBT community has its loudest voices. And it's like,
00:00:52.020
no, it doesn't. It controls our media. It controls our school system. It could use powerful people
00:00:58.680
to be the scapegoat, but it doesn't. It uses the vulnerable members of its community to be the
00:01:04.540
scapegoats, to be the biggest proponents of the most imperious aspects of the culture and the loudest
00:01:10.220
proponents. You know, when you go on TikTok and you see the craziest ultra-progressive viewpoints,
00:01:15.220
they are people in these communities. Would you like to know more?
00:01:18.380
The stage at which I can't feel my fingertips anymore.
00:01:22.000
I love that you, and you're the one who enforces this on the family, to be clear. I always say
00:01:27.540
that you can indulge yourself when you want. I'm not enforcing this on the children. They say
00:01:32.140
repeatedly, I love the cold. They prefer the cold.
00:01:36.880
You are an amazing woman, Simone, and I appreciate how austerely you live because it helps us stay
00:01:44.480
focused on what matters, which is moving things forward for our species during this particular
00:01:50.060
time of challenges that we live in. And one of the biggest challenges has really made clear to me
00:01:55.020
when we were talking to a reporter recently, and they were asking for more clarification on the urban
00:02:01.040
monoculture, right? And it made me realize that one of the mistakes that people can make when dealing
00:02:06.180
with the urban monoculture is to think that it has the similarities it has because it is true.
00:02:14.980
But that is not the case. And so I'm actually going to start by reading my response to the reporter
00:02:26.420
While the urban monoculture is not the sole cause of demographic collapse, no realistic solution to
00:02:30.680
demographic collapse is possible without addressing the issues posed by the urban monoculture.
00:02:34.600
The fertility rates within all cultural groups are crashing, but the proximity of a group to
00:02:39.520
the urban monoculture is directly correlated to the speed of the crash. Worse, cultural innovation
00:02:44.180
any family attempts will be fought by the urban monoculture insofar as it deviates from the urban
00:02:48.680
monoculture, which it definitionally will due to the monoculture's low fertility rate.
00:02:54.540
The urban monoculture is the dominant cultural group in the world today and one of the descendants
00:02:58.940
of European imperialism. It is what many call wokeness, progressiveness, etc.
00:03:02.720
It sees itself as naturally superior to all other cultural groups and perspectives, seeing
00:03:07.560
them as essentially backward savages, and its imperative is to spread over all of the world's
00:03:12.700
population. What makes it hazardous is the urban monoculture has the lowest fertility rate
00:03:17.500
of any cultural group in the world. As such, it only survives by parasitizing children from
00:03:22.080
nearby demographically healthy cultural groups. Usually these are conservative religious groups
00:03:26.380
or importing families from geographically distant cultures and converting their children. This creates an
00:03:31.900
existential problem in our society that I predict will be the core source of conflict over the next
00:03:35.940
century. The dominant cultural group, the group that controls the school system and mass media,
00:03:40.940
must attempt to convert children from neighboring cultures to keep its population numbers stable.
00:03:47.020
Conversion targets of the urban monoculture naturally see the industrial conversion of their
00:03:51.520
children as a threat. There are high fertility groups in every country, but they are all quote-unquote
00:03:55.960
weird, where weirdness is defined by cultural distance from the dominant cultural group in society,
00:04:00.460
the urban monoculture. These groups look like weird secular religions like our family has,
00:04:05.340
ultra-Orthodox Jews, Quiverfuls, Tradcasts, etc. The problem is, even if the urban monoculture wanted
00:04:10.520
to stop its industrial conversion system, it couldn't. If it did, its population would quickly collapse,
00:04:15.980
and it would lose the political and bureaucratic power it has used to subjugate its neighbors,
00:04:19.940
who are at this point very angry. It has proverbially caught the tiger by the tail. The longer it holds the
00:04:26.880
tiger, the angrier the tiger gets, but if it lets go, things will get bloody. Political parties around the
00:04:31.860
world are beginning to drift into two factions, one representing the urban monoculture and its goal of
00:04:36.720
cultural genocide, and the other representing a diverse alliance of those attempting intergenerational
00:04:41.880
preservation of their cultural identity. As to what the urban monoculture is, it can be hard to explain,
00:04:47.800
because once one converts, unlike other cultures, it does not demand they identify as a member. They just have to
00:04:53.120
adopt its perspectives, values, practices, morality, ideology, and cosmology. To understand this in
00:04:58.160
practice, ask an ultra-progressive Jew, Muslim, Catholic, feminist, etc. what their views are on
00:05:03.680
gender, relationships, the nature of the universe, morality, sexuality, marriage, our relation to the
00:05:09.120
environment, etc., and you will get nearly identical answers. Were you to pose the same question to a
00:05:13.900
conservative Jew, Muslim, Catholic, feminist, you would get wildly different answers to each question.
00:05:18.740
I would also note here that the convergent position of the urban monoculture
00:05:22.220
is not due to quote-unquote science, as is will regularly ignore science when it conflicts with the
00:05:27.680
culture's canon, just as quickly and aggressively as religious extremists do. Now, I'm not going to go
00:05:32.540
further here, because it was actually this last point that I really want to expand upon. Many people, when they
00:05:37.200
look at the convergent beliefs that you have among progressive Catholics, or progressive Jews, or
00:05:43.260
progressive Muslims, they say these convergent beliefs are just science, right? And it very clearly is not true.
00:05:50.880
It's not true in the field of genetics. It's not true in the field of demography. And I wanted to pull up
00:05:57.340
a few instances of this that we've seen recently. So one I wanted to share with you is this insane graph
00:06:04.320
that about 70% of liberal 12th grade girls believe women are discriminated against in getting a college
00:06:12.120
education. Despite the fact that women attain more bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees than men.
00:06:20.220
There are literally 11 times, so 11,000% more women's only scholarship than men's only scholarships
00:06:29.360
in the U.S. The level of distortion to reality you have to have to believe this.
00:06:36.300
Well, Newhall still, just look at rates of college graduation and attendance male to female. There
00:06:44.880
Yeah. Well, and it's something we see with demographic stuff. We'll talk with reporters
00:06:48.900
about demographic stuff, and they'll say, demographers say, this isn't an issue. You
00:06:52.760
cannot predict this stuff long term. I'm like, but you literally can. I can ask the younger
00:06:57.940
generation how many kids they plan to have. I can look at trailing indicators like rates of
00:07:02.420
religiosity. I can look at every aspect of data we have, and it says it's going to get
00:07:07.260
worse over time. I can look at countries that are further ahead of us and collapse. So they
00:07:10.900
have this distortion field that is not science. And it's very important that we call it out
00:07:19.140
as not science, or not just what is culturally just. So is it just to lie to people? Like,
00:07:25.700
is it culturally just? But this is a huge problem, right? Is there like, we are not erasing
00:07:32.280
these cultures. When a culture becomes sufficiently progressive, it hasn't been erased, even though
00:07:41.440
they all fly the same flag now, which we'll talk about in a second. I go to an ultra-progressive
00:07:46.700
mosque, and I go to an ultra-progressive church, and I go to an ultra-progressive synagogue. They'll
00:07:51.240
have the same flag in front of every one of these churches. They're like, oh, well, that's just an
00:07:57.760
interesting coincidence. You know, they are trying to protect a vulnerable group. And I'm like, well,
00:08:03.720
there's lots of vulnerable groups in society. Why are they all converging around the same vulnerable
00:08:09.020
group in terms of the flags that they're flying? Which goes to something that I often say, which is
00:08:13.620
the urban monoculture loves the LGBT community in the same way Hamas loves hospitals, which is to say
00:08:22.120
they are using this community, and a community that is in some ways genuinely vulnerable, to redirect
00:08:29.120
anger that would otherwise be pointed at the larger problem, which is the urban monoculture,
00:08:35.740
towards a discriminated subgroup. And then they use that misdirection and the danger that they caused
00:08:43.640
individuals of that subgroup through their blatant proselytization and attempts to deconvert children
00:08:51.560
using our education system and mass media to anger against this one specific subset of the population,
00:08:58.080
which, to be honest, I don't even know. Like, do most gay men even still support Democrats? I could
00:09:03.520
look this up. Well, I'll look it up after an edit in editing. I called it. 45% of gay men in the last
00:09:11.260
election cycle voted for Trump over Biden, and 51% voted for Biden. So it's basically half and half about
00:09:19.620
now, and I suspect it's going to flip in the next election cycle or the one after that.
00:09:25.040
But yeah. I think they do, pretty overwhelmingly. Then there's just, like, the Lincoln Republicans,
00:09:29.940
and that's it. Just to clarify, it turns out her intuition was wrong, and that it's about half and
00:09:34.960
half right now and likely moving towards majority Republican in the next cycle. And I'd also remind
00:09:40.340
our audience of this, any of you who are right-leaning and maybe underestimate just how much the gay
00:09:47.180
community votes Republican or how amenable they are to joining the Republican Party en masse, at least
00:09:53.940
gay men. So it's really best to not antagonize them because they really are on our side, and they are not
00:10:01.660
the same in terms of these far-crazy, far-left, you know, extremist trans activists and stuff like that.
00:10:09.620
Most gay men are very similar to your average Republican.
00:10:14.440
But it's getting, it's the level to which they've basically been able to pull the wool over society's eyes.
00:10:21.040
Like, and as you pointed out in the studies done on, for example, like, they'll take another discriminated
00:10:25.440
group that they'll be like, they'll elevate to a stupid degree, to a degree that it hurts the community,
00:10:30.260
like the Black community. If you look at areas where Democrats have been in control for longer,
00:10:35.700
Hispanic groups and Black groups have larger distances in contrasted in both earnings and
00:10:41.840
scores on tests when contrasted with the white population. So the policies that are being
00:10:46.400
implemented by progressives are hurting these disadvantaged communities, and this is really
00:10:50.160
obvious in the data. But in other words, like, statistically speaking, and we're not,
00:10:55.480
we're not saying necessarily there's causation, but if I were a minority in the United States,
00:11:03.180
I would rather be in a Republican-dominated area, a conservative area, because-
00:11:08.440
Well, you will do better and your kids will do better.
00:11:10.880
Dispreportedly, in contrast with the local white population.
00:11:12.440
Which is wild, because you assume that, of course, all, you know, Democratic-progressive
00:11:17.500
policies are meant to, at first and foremost, favor and help minorities and those in need.
00:11:25.880
Yeah, but I think that this is really worth drawing attention to, because the illusion that
00:11:33.200
what these communities are converging on when they have been infected by this mimetic virus
00:11:37.740
is truth is objectively wrong, is a religious extremist position that is as disconnected from
00:11:46.780
science and as disconnected from reality as most small-c conservative religious traditions.
00:11:52.940
Now, I would say that when you get to, like, ultra-conservative religious traditions, you get a
00:11:56.220
higher level of disconnection from reality. But when you're talking about, you know, a normal,
00:12:01.080
I'd say, conservative Christian or conservative Jew, they're probably about as disconnected from
00:12:04.180
mainstream science as progressives are. I mean, they will deny, when I will talk to them,
00:12:07.980
I will say, well, these human traits have a genetic component to them. And they'll say,
00:12:12.360
no, they don't. And I'm like, like, this isn't a new field. Like, we've been studying this for a
00:12:17.700
long time. Like, yeah, they obviously do. The way a person votes, their personality has a genetic
00:12:22.420
component. But it's not just the research. Like, if you know a human being with kids, you would see
00:12:27.540
this. And they're like, well, what about adopted kids? That would be unfair. And it's like,
00:12:32.760
well, if you know someone who has adopted kids, you'll see that those kids are much more different
00:12:36.040
from their parents than people without adopting kids. It's just something you can see if you look
00:12:40.440
at the evidence. Even anecdotal evidence within your own life, you really have to blind yourself
00:12:44.460
or, like, never have been around a child to not realize how much of our personality and the way we
00:12:50.440
act is heredible. Because my kids are doing all sorts of stuff that is like me that I know I
00:12:55.260
didn't teach them. Undeniable. But I also want to continue here with reading what I wrote. I wanted to
00:13:00.940
have a short interlude there because I didn't want it to be, like, a boring just-read-the-piece
00:13:04.620
thing. The urban monoculture parasitizes cultural movements until it becomes the dominant cultural
00:13:09.800
force in them. Then it expels the members that still have adherence to the group's former ideals
00:13:14.440
and culture, wearing that group's identity and history like a skin suit. It then speaks through
00:13:19.740
the mouth of this marionetted corpse to claim its trials as its own. I mention the feminist culture
00:13:26.700
because it presents an excellent case study of a phenomenon I have outlined in.
00:13:31.380
As to what fighting the urban monoculture looks like, the most important thing we can do is build
00:13:35.100
a school system not dedicated to cultural genocide. That is what we are doing with the Collins Institute.
00:13:40.240
And I included a clip for her, which I'll play here.
00:13:43.320
If we combine our music, she'll see that music unites all trolls, and that we're all the same,
00:13:52.060
Poppy, I mean no disrespect, but King, the Queen, anything but that.
00:13:57.480
Why not? I can make it right. History's just gonna keep repeating itself until we make everyone
00:14:06.220
It's why all our strings are different, because they reflect our different music.
00:14:10.160
Denying our differences is denying the truth of who we are.
00:14:15.940
But I'll go a bit further into the nature of the urban monoculture, because there's this one
00:14:19.720
moment that really got to me when somebody said, what is wokeness to someone? And the person couldn't
00:14:24.680
respond. And I was like, how stupid is that? To say, of course they couldn't respond. If you say,
00:14:30.980
what is a culture? That's a very difficult thing for a normal person to answer. If you say,
00:14:36.020
what is Judaism, right? You can give a few doctrinal opinions, but that's not really what
00:14:43.680
it is of the cultural group. So I wrote a quick piece on this that we can hopefully help explain
00:14:48.060
to people. What is the urban monoculture? Cultural groups are difficult to define and summarize.
00:14:54.260
Consider you asked me to explain European imperial culture. I would say it's a culture that saw everyone
00:14:59.100
outside of it as deplorable and lesser, and believed it had a manifest destiny to enlighten these
00:15:03.860
individuals' children and bring them up to date with the quote-unquote civilized world. Yet this
00:15:08.640
definition would apply equally to the urban monoculture it gave birth to. Were you to ask
00:15:13.480
me to explain orthodox Jewish culture, I could summarize core beliefs, important texts to the
00:15:17.760
culture, and holidays. But that does not really capture the full culture. For example, Jews a thousand
00:15:22.580
years ago would appear the same as Jews today if I used that explanation. But culturally, they are
00:15:28.900
extremely different. For that reason, I find the best way to describe a cultural group that is to
00:15:34.880
for that reason, I find the best way to describe a cultural group is to describe its evolutionary
00:15:40.320
history. In the case of the urban monoculture, that is something we explore at length in the
00:15:44.880
Fragmented Sky to Crafting Religion, which we would argue it is something of a memetic
00:15:49.000
super virus that evolved out of Hicksite Quakerism. The urban monoculture's belief system is most
00:15:54.740
heavily defined by the belief the goal of society is to remove as much in-the-moment emotional pain
00:16:00.920
as possible, and thus it is a negative utilitarian in structure. However, it has many other odd
00:16:06.180
ideological structures and traditions. For example, the urban monoculture claims to love diversity,
00:16:11.180
but also does not believe there are any differences between genders, cultures, ethnicities, etc.
00:16:16.000
Why would diversity be a thing of value if we are all exactly the same? It really means it values
00:16:21.160
diversity in its victims. So Simone, I was wondering if you had any comments on this or areas on this
00:16:25.120
you want to elaborate in terms of understanding it as this like unified religious and cultural structure.
00:16:32.500
Yeah, I mean, I appreciate your highlighting it. And I think the important thing is I grew up in this
00:16:41.060
culture, right? And I always remember thinking how crazy people outside of this cultural group were
00:16:49.620
for not trusting the science and not believing in science. And now we live in this era where like
00:16:57.900
they are presented with peer-reviewed science, like even by their own standards, you know, through
00:17:04.740
the processes that they acknowledge are legitimate, they are denying certain truths. It is really wild to me.
00:17:13.620
What disagrees with dogma is not science to them. Because science is defined by what agrees with dogma.
00:17:19.240
I can't emphasize the extent to which they wholeheartedly see what they're viewing as
00:17:27.280
truth, as science, as the factual basis of things, and those who disagree with them as being backward,
00:17:35.140
uneducated, Bible-thumping, or Nazi-esque, or racist, or whatever enemies. And it is the ignorance
00:17:42.860
of their enemies that makes them so evil and dangerous. It is not like, oh, we're dealing
00:17:49.860
with a smart opponent that we must, you know, strategize around. It's never that mindset. The
00:17:55.160
mindset is you guys are so dumb and full of hate, and you're just afraid. And that-
00:18:04.320
Is that not the way that Imperial Europe saw the communities it was contacting? It is a direct
00:18:11.360
No, no, no, it didn't. No, no, no. Like when you actually look at colonies, as in colonism,
00:18:16.280
as in the American colonies, condescension was the word that was used. And it was a word that was seen
00:18:22.660
as being a noble term. Condescension was being of a person of culture, of education, etc., who benignly
00:18:34.180
and kindly condescended to those who maybe were less educated than them, but didn't like hate them
00:18:41.460
for it. But do you not see elements of this white man burdens mindset in this viewpoint?
00:18:47.300
Oh, no. Yes, certainly. In the progressive viewpoint today. Yeah. But I don't even, I don't
00:18:53.600
even know. I don't see it. Well, I mean, the dehumanization of the outsider is really core to
00:18:58.960
their community. And you look at like where they ignore science. So the way they define science,
00:19:03.560
it's like the way they define racism. Like racism has become a meaningful term because to be racist,
00:19:08.820
I'm like, how am I racist? I don't look down on black people and I have black friends. I engage
00:19:14.020
with the black community as equals. And they're like, well, you're racist because you are not
00:19:17.880
progressive in your views of race. Racism becomes defined. And this is why they'll be like, oh,
00:19:22.880
this black person is a racist. You'll see like a white person saying this because they have defined
00:19:26.740
racism as agreeing with the progressive stance on race and not as seeing people of different ethnic
00:19:35.200
groups as truly separate. And this is how they have begun to re-institutionalize racial segregation
00:19:43.200
in our society. You know, you look at places like California now and they have separate
00:19:47.900
alert platforms for black people and native Americans. And then they have for white people
00:19:53.140
and they have from the Amber alert system, they have the Ebony alert system and the Feather alert
00:19:56.400
system. God, I forgot that. And it sounds so racist. That sounds so incredibly racist.
00:20:01.480
When it is incredibly racist because they are a racist community. When you define racism as things
00:20:08.320
that disagree with the progressive team's value set, then they don't notice when racism creeps
00:20:13.640
into their own values. It's no holds barred. It's just like fully flamboyant racism.
00:20:19.280
They are incapable of recognizing it was the definition they have created. And this is the same
00:20:24.860
is true around like trans stuff. I'm like, well, puberty blockers really like the evidence that that is
00:20:29.540
not harmful is not as strong as like, I've seen a lot of studies that bring up serious, serious
00:20:34.920
concerns about the puberty blockers. And they're like, but it isn't science because it disagrees
00:20:40.560
with what we want. Like science is defined by what they want. And this creates a problem in outsiders
00:20:49.940
trusting them. Because as soon as you see this and you realize that science may align with something
00:20:55.600
that progressives wants, like global warming or something like that, there's really no reason
00:20:59.920
to trust the data. Because even if global warming was not happening, they would be saying all of the
00:21:05.980
exact same things they're saying about global warming because it gives them more state power
00:21:09.400
and stuff like that. And it's really hard to believe that global warming is happening as a
00:21:15.040
conservative. When you see them, the progressives, the Green Party in Germany shutting down the nuclear
00:21:19.780
power plants was no viable alternative and just creating more carbon.
00:21:23.200
One of the things that progressives often can accuse us, the prenatalists, and it's true,
00:21:28.940
we're trying to bring the best of the best of humanity together to take to the stars, to reform
00:21:35.240
this planet, to do amazing things in the future. And they're like, so you want to leave this sinking
00:21:40.560
ship like you don't want to fix it? And I'm like, we tried. We built the nuclear power plants. Those were put
00:21:46.140
up by conservatives. Elon, for example, he built Tesla. He tried to make emissionless cars,
00:21:53.180
popular. He did more to making them popular than anyone else. And now you tar and feather him
00:21:57.440
because he also promotes free speech? Because that is out of control. Because free speech is an
00:22:02.460
existential threat to people who control information in a society. If one cultural group controls mass
00:22:09.040
media and they control the school system, then of course freedom of speech is an existentially
00:22:12.860
threatening idea to them because they can't have a free market of ideas where people can point out
00:22:16.980
the things that we're pointing out, you know, where truth becomes a danger to them.
00:22:23.120
Well, so, okay, if we're saying that this form of toxic progressivism is a virus,
00:22:34.080
I'm sorry, if we're saying that this form of toxic progressivism is a religion,
00:22:37.580
does that change the tactics that people should use to defend themselves from it?
00:22:43.240
The analogy I use is it's a religion in the same way that contagious canine venereal cancer. So
00:22:50.380
canines have a type of cancer that's contagious is a dog. It is a parasitic cancer that evolved out of
00:22:58.200
a religion, but it is not a religion. It doesn't have all of the code it needs of the cultural group
00:23:03.280
to sustain itself. It absolutely can only survive through cultural parasitism. It can only survive
00:23:08.900
by taking the children of other people because it lacks the cultural DNA that motivates reproduction
00:23:14.780
and self-sacrifice, which I actually talk about a bit later in this piece. Not a piece, but like
00:23:19.860
email I sent, which I was like, okay, I should probably share this. It also has an ethnic, sexual,
00:23:25.220
and gender-based dominance hierarchy bordering on a caste system whereby the status of each of these
00:23:29.860
traits is determined by the perceived trait's impact on the status in the plurality of neighboring
00:23:36.080
cultures. This provides differential pressure for individuals with these traits to convert and
00:23:44.860
loudly proselytize the more bizarre and nonsensical elements of the monoculture. I often say that the
00:23:51.760
urban monoculture loves the LGBT community in the same way Hamas loves hospitals. It sets up the most
00:23:57.360
imperious elements of its operation in the hearts of vulnerable communities to divert attacks against it
00:24:03.420
to those communities, allowing it to claim the moral high ground. This can be seen in its tendency to use the
00:24:09.460
rainbow flag to show conquest over institutions. After a mosque, synagogue, etc., has been conquered, they will
00:24:15.560
hang this out front to direct anger away from the culprit of the cultural erasure and towards the LGBT community.
00:24:22.040
And I would remind listeners here again that 45% of gay men voted for Donald Trump in the last election
00:24:28.020
cycle. It's like bull baiting with a red flag to get the bull to attack the wrong location.
00:24:35.800
Or even more hilariously, they've dressed a child all up in red and let him run around the ring with the
00:24:42.640
bull chasing him so that they can merrily pick it off while it's distracted.
00:24:47.000
Again, I need to be clear, there is no agency or plan in any of this here. These are all just culturally
00:24:52.920
evolved mechanisms. The iteration of the culture that did this outcompeted the ones that actually
00:25:00.780
tried to protect these communities. And this is something I want to take a quick aside on here
00:25:06.340
because there isn't people like, no, it needs to redirect the anger at the LGBT community. It needs
00:25:10.860
that the LGBT community has its loudest voices. And it's like, no, it doesn't. It controls our media.
00:25:15.660
It controls our school system. It could use powerful people to be the scapegoat, but it doesn't.
00:25:23.560
It uses the vulnerable members of its community to be the scapegoats, to be the biggest proponents of
00:25:29.080
the most imperious aspects of the culture and the loudest proponents. You know, when you go on TikTok
00:25:33.680
and you see the craziest ultra-progressive viewpoints, they are people in these communities. They are not
00:25:39.620
the actors who have security. They are not the politicians. They are not the ultra-wealthy tech
00:25:46.480
company CEOs who take the most milquetoast perspectives, which is where if the community was
00:25:52.200
virtuous, it would be driving anger. And you say, well, no community could work that way. Well, yeah,
00:25:56.480
they can. Many conservative communities, especially ultra-conservative communities, it is the leaders
00:26:00.740
of those communities that take the responsibility and the burden of the social attacks against those
00:26:06.640
communities and promoting and keeping the communities on a virtuous path insofar as they
00:26:12.120
define virtue, which means pushing some of the crazier ideas or crazier ideas insofar as craziness
00:26:16.880
is defined by distance from the dominant cultural group in society or other cultural groups in
00:26:20.040
society. So the urban monoculture spreads by infiltrating institutions, then expelling members
00:26:26.380
who have allegiance to the institution's original mission. I mentioned this in the case of the
00:26:30.600
feminist movement above, but we see this phenomenon play out in companies, religions, et cetera.
00:26:35.800
Once the memetic infection reaches a certain stage, the institution will start building new
00:26:40.360
structures designed to ensure ideological conformity, further the spread of the memetic
00:26:44.800
virus, and expel anyone who appears to show immunity. An example of these types of structures
00:26:49.060
are ESG departments. The urban monoculture tells people that they have a duty to identify
00:26:53.760
as whatever they feel in the moment and do whatever makes them feel best in the moment insofar
00:26:59.320
that does not hurt other people. While this may seem benign as a commandment, a culture that uses
00:27:04.360
this as their North Star is going to be very bad at motivating sacrifice and thus have a very low
00:27:08.500
fertility rate. It is also going to have huge mental health issues, but that is beside the point.
00:27:12.820
It is important to note that the urban monoculture is not just a continuation of utilitarian left-leaning
00:27:17.040
ideas optimized around increasing aggregate world happiness and equality. When choosing between those
00:27:23.360
goals and removing in-the-moment suffering, the urban monoculture always chooses the removal of in-the-moment
00:27:27.420
suffering. For example, if you point out that being overweight is unhealthy,
00:27:30.920
this could cause in-the-moment pain to an individual, even though it would be in their
00:27:35.860
long-term best interest. So the urban monoculture suppresses it. Banning test scores in high schools
00:27:41.620
obviously increases inequality by allowing rich kids to go to their extracurricular where they
00:27:47.000
will still be tested. However, doing so removes in-the-moment negative emotions. Government programs
00:27:51.680
hammonding out drugs on the streets obviously increase inequality, but also remove in-the-moment suffering.
00:27:56.520
So throughout this, it's really important to note that this is not the progressive culture you grew
00:28:02.420
up with. It borrowed some of those elements. And I think a lot of people who haven't been targeted
00:28:07.420
yet by the urban monoculture yet don't realize how much it's changed.
00:28:11.940
Yeah, I think that is probably the vast majority of people who still identify as progressives and then
00:28:18.500
unknowingly support progressive policies is they did grow up with this more sane version and they don't
00:28:24.520
realize how insane it's gotten. And yeah, you're probably totally spot on. Which is to say that
00:28:29.480
we're not saying, like, it's actually a very small minority that's gone off the rails, but then...
00:28:36.360
And they have been able to utilize those positions of power to transform our society
00:28:39.820
in a direction that hurts the very groups that they claim to want to protect.
00:28:44.040
And you can see this in the data, as I've said. And so I want to be clear here, right?
00:28:48.340
Like, a lot of people, they'll come to me and they go, no, this is only the extremist who
00:28:53.920
believes those things. I am a progressive and I define progressive beliefs by what I
00:28:58.540
believe, right? Because I identify as a progressive. And when I say, well, those aren't really
00:29:02.200
progressive beliefs anymore. Those are actually much closer to conservative beliefs today.
00:29:09.720
Yeah, they don't believe us because they haven't been targeted yet. And then I constantly see
00:29:13.780
this same story playing out again and again. They see something in their company or something
00:29:18.240
like that that they thought was reasonable because they hadn't had to be in a bureaucratic
00:29:21.240
environment that was dominated by this new cultural group yet, you know?
00:29:24.720
When you see this with, like, blocked and reported, you see this with the free press,
00:29:28.760
there is this new class of elite progressive that is now seen as, like, heterodox or even sometimes
00:29:36.680
labeled by the establishment as conservative merely because they have been like, wait, no, no, no,
00:29:43.060
this is crazy. But they still maintain their progressive stances of the days of yore, which
00:29:48.140
is to say, like, what traditionally progressivism was rather than off the rails insanity that it is
00:29:54.020
now, right? And I think that it's easy to see when you're a progressive to dehumanize your enemies
00:29:59.360
when you do not look for disconfirming evidence of the stuff they're telling you.
00:30:03.620
It's easy to, like, a great example of this is the don't say gay bill, for example, right?
00:30:08.900
Like, when I point out the conservatives haven't really done that much that's really homophobic
00:30:12.500
in a while, they're like, what about the don't say gay bill? And I'm like, actually,
00:30:16.220
I know one of the people who wrote that bill. And the number one progressive complaint that
00:30:20.760
people could use that bill to get a teacher fired for being gay or telling her students
00:30:26.700
that she's gay, literally, that was in, like, the language when the bill was first written
00:30:31.600
could have been used to do that. But the conservatives within the conservative movement read it and
00:30:37.520
they said, oh, we need to take that language out so that it is only the teaching of sexuality
00:30:41.840
to children, not like an individual's identity, not their home life, not them
00:30:45.200
even mentioning these things to students. It's only the teaching of sexuality that we want to
00:30:49.900
prevent or, like, specific sexual acts to students. And yet progressives, they don't know this. They
00:30:54.820
don't believe this because it's hidden from them in their media. The conservative movement has
00:30:59.400
significantly moderated its views on these issues. And in them using things like the LGBT community as
00:31:07.560
their scapegoat constantly, the progressives using it, they are reigniting genuine animosity
00:31:12.820
within the conservative party that when conservatives end up replacing them, which they will eventually,
00:31:17.540
it's just demographics, is going to be very, very bad for people with those traits who we do not want
00:31:23.300
to see come to harm due to the short-sightedness of these fraudsters that are claiming to represent
00:31:30.180
them. And it is, it's really sad that it's gotten to this stage. But what I say with something like
00:31:35.960
Trump, the point I was making here, is they say, you know, if you don't know that much, if you haven't
00:31:39.880
really looked at his policies, if you haven't really looked at the effects that they've had on a global
00:31:42.920
stage and you're just viewing this, it's easy to see him as like a crazy person or a bad person or
00:31:47.020
everyone who supports him as a bad person. But when you really engage with it, even claims around things
00:31:51.460
like the election might have had some issues, when you really genuinely engage with it, instead of
00:31:58.800
just spout talking points, you can see how a well-meaning, intelligent person could come to that
00:32:05.420
perspective. I'm not saying it's true, but I'm saying it's not insane. Okay. And, and yet progressives
00:32:11.520
are taught that these are insane positions and it is going to lead. Oh, it's not an insane position
00:32:17.600
when their candidate loses an election, but. Well, yeah, no, then there was definitely
00:32:21.580
some form of election temporary, but it's going to lead to them doing more and more blazingly
00:32:26.460
anti-democratic things as they dehumanize their opponents. And eventually this is going to lead
00:32:31.860
to something like a civil war. If, if they keep this up, if they blazingly continue to. Brazenly.
00:32:38.560
Brazenly continue to use other families and other cultural groups to supply their population,
00:32:42.940
e.g. parasitize their children using the educational system they employ.
00:32:47.600
Well, if you can't understand why people are existentially angry about that and why that's
00:32:53.420
going to cause problems in the longterm. I just, I don't know how to communicate. Like
00:32:58.300
we are trying to defuse a situation that is going to end with you, the progressive group
00:33:04.320
suffering, because you have a low fertility rate right now. You are the group that will
00:33:08.240
be the vulnerable one in the future. And we are trying to help you before things get bad.
00:33:21.860
I love you too, Malcolm. And weird times, but I'm glad I'm spending them with you. So thanks for that.
