Summary

In this episode, we talk about the time we got a call from CPS about the way we raise our kids, and why it's a good thing we don't buy new clothes for them. We also talk about how progressive parents have no idea what they're doing with their kids and how they should raise them.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 When you have an active genocide campaign ongoing, where the actual goal is you guys
00:00:06.020 are doing something different, let's erase that.
00:00:08.580 Kids are not safe if they're not raised within our cultural group.
00:00:11.920 And a lot of people don't really know this is going on, or really don't know how aggressively
00:00:16.340 this is going on.
00:00:17.620 And even with us, sometimes I'm like, I might be overstating things.
00:00:21.580 And then CPS comes to talk to us.
00:00:24.800 Yeah, talk about a wake up call.
00:00:26.320 They're like, oh, what I'm doing is good because the people I'm doing it to are culturally
00:00:31.980 backwards and bad.
00:00:34.360 And it's, that's what the colonists thought.
00:00:36.520 That's what every evil group in history has ever thought.
00:00:41.620 You, you, the deplorables, when you categorize half your population that way, what's happening
00:00:48.400 here is progressives feel they have the right and obviously have the ability to call the
00:00:54.400 government saying they are not raising their kids in a style that I, as a progressive
00:00:59.960 approve of.
00:01:01.060 Yeah.
00:01:01.520 Would you like to know more?
00:01:02.980 So Malcolm, we just got back from a lovely vacation with our three kids.
00:01:07.900 We had a billion amazing experiences with them.
00:01:10.860 One of them, we were making a birthday cake, sort of on a belated celebration for our two-year-old.
00:01:16.980 It was a dinosaur cake.
00:01:18.140 And while we were making this cake, we received a very strange call.
00:01:23.460 Do you want to tell our friends about it?
00:01:25.780 It was from CPS, for people who aren't from the USS Child Protective Services.
00:01:31.140 This is a government service that takes kids away from people when they're like abusing kids
00:01:35.320 or something like that.
00:01:36.720 Now, our initial thought when this happened to us is this must be like the pronatalist version
00:01:42.180 of swatting someone, right?
00:01:43.960 We assumed it was like a random hater who just wanted to fuck with us, right?
00:01:50.480 And that could have been what it was.
00:01:52.780 But if they did, they hired a private security person or a private detective to follow us
00:01:58.960 because a lot of their complaints were actually true to the way we raise our kids, even in
00:02:05.180 things that we don't air publicly.
00:02:07.400 And so our fans may be like, no, you've aired enough of this publicly that I would have been
00:02:10.480 able to guess all of this, but our actual read is we are experiencing what many Americans
00:02:15.620 experience today, especially if they hang out with, you know, any sort of, or adjacent
00:02:20.720 to any sort of progressive circle that really has no understanding of what it's like to actually
00:02:24.860 raise kids, where the rules for how you raise kids and how you should raise kids are being
00:02:34.240 written by people who have no experience with child rearing and do not understand what's
00:02:40.660 realistic and what's not.
00:02:41.980 And these rules don't correlate with like well-being, survival, health, like normal things.
00:02:49.600 Like these are not, you know, we're not talking about rules like don't beat your children.
00:02:54.120 Okay.
00:02:54.300 Okay.
00:02:54.780 So let's talk about why CPS was called on us, why they were interested in talking to us.
00:02:58.300 So reason number one, our kids were wearing used clothing.
00:03:06.740 They were like, they are, they're wearing used, gross, tattered clothing.
00:03:12.360 Some of it didn't like fit perfectly.
00:03:15.680 Yeah.
00:03:16.260 It wasn't that it was like gross or unwashed.
00:03:18.020 It was that it was unfitting and used.
00:03:20.180 Yeah.
00:03:20.380 No, we wash our clothes in our house.
00:03:22.080 There's one, they can only survive one wear before there's food all over it.
00:03:24.720 So keep in mind, like a lot of the, one, we do receive donated clothes and love it.
00:03:30.260 And two, I do when I buy new, new clothes, when I buy clothes for our kids, it is like
00:03:34.760 used stuff on eBay, but it's used Ralph Lauren.
00:03:37.400 Okay.
00:03:37.600 No, but hold on.
00:03:38.160 This is an accurate accusation.
00:03:40.000 It is accurate.
00:03:40.760 Yes.
00:03:40.980 But it's an accusation that you're defending yourself.
00:03:44.140 I think every sane person who hears this is like, obviously kids grow fast.
00:03:48.440 You give them new clothes.
00:03:49.860 Why wouldn't you give them new clothes?
00:03:50.400 It's really wasteful to get new clothes too.
00:03:52.240 I mean, from an environmental standpoint, from a financial standpoint, you're like, you're
00:03:55.040 kind of crazy if you're buying new clothes for your kids.
00:03:57.580 But I guess people might think, I don't know, because we're like wealthy that we just buy
00:04:00.740 new clothes for all of our kids.
00:04:02.100 No, that's completely wasteful.
00:04:03.260 It's antithetical to everything our ideology stands for.
00:04:06.080 Yeah.
00:04:06.300 Never waste anything.
00:04:07.320 And you guys have seen videos of our kids.
00:04:08.700 They don't look like, you know, but, but okay.
00:04:10.640 So this was accusation.
00:04:11.860 Number one, I was like, true, but also insane.
00:04:15.840 So next point that they, they called us on.
00:04:18.880 Our kids are very frequently sick.
00:04:24.340 No shit, Sherlock.
00:04:25.960 They go to daycare.
00:04:27.140 You have to, I can understand somebody who has never interacted with kids, never had to
00:04:32.700 send kids to a daycare or something like that.
00:04:34.400 Cause right now our kids are in daycare being like, oh, it's weird how often these kids are
00:04:39.220 sick.
00:04:39.540 Right.
00:04:40.320 But if you have kids, especially a number of kids in daycare, because if any of them get
00:04:44.080 something, it goes around the house.
00:04:45.240 Right.
00:04:45.540 If any kid in daycare has something, all of them are licking everything, crawling on
00:04:49.280 the ground.
00:04:49.860 Everyone gets something.
00:04:51.060 This is a normal part of having kids.
00:04:53.200 Yeah.
00:04:53.320 Just to reiterate, we have, we have three children in three different classrooms at a daycare.
00:04:57.380 That means that if anyone gets something hand, foot and mouth disease, you know, the,
00:05:02.060 the, the stomach bug, like anything, a cold, everyone in our household is very likely
00:05:07.160 to get it because that kid is very likely to bring it back.
00:05:09.740 No, but this is a normal part of being a parent and not a sign of the sign of having a lot
00:05:14.260 of toddlers, not a child abuse.
00:05:15.760 But again, it shows that the people who are making these rules, even the people within
00:05:18.740 CPS who are responding to this apparently don't know like the realities of raising even
00:05:25.180 a medium number of kids.
00:05:26.660 Three is not like that large of a family right now, you know?
00:05:29.440 Yeah.
00:05:29.820 Yeah.
00:05:30.120 I know.
00:05:30.380 I mean, actually like I could, I could see there being a higher correlation between never
00:05:33.840 being sick and being in a genuinely abusive household, because that is a household
00:05:37.520 that's more likely to isolate children and not allow them to go to school or go out
00:05:41.740 or anything like that.
00:05:43.000 That's a good point.
00:05:43.700 They would be less sick.
00:05:44.480 So the next, the next one was that our kids sleep alone.
00:05:51.440 Yeah.
00:05:52.000 They sleep in a room alone.
00:05:54.200 Yeah.
00:05:54.460 I mean, there are two cameras in the room and there are two cameras in the room.
00:05:58.660 Yeah.
00:05:58.840 We live in a house from the 1700s so we can hear everything they're saying in the room
00:06:03.060 from our room.
00:06:04.300 Not that I need to defend this.
00:06:05.980 This is a normal thing that parents do after a certain age.
00:06:09.840 Our youngest sleeps in Simone's room.
00:06:12.240 Simone and I sleep in different rooms because, you know, that probably doesn't surprise everyone.
00:06:15.900 I wake up at 2am every morning.
00:06:17.340 Yeah.
00:06:17.540 We sometimes indulge and sleep in the same bed, but I hate waking her up early and then
00:06:21.560 the kid wakes up and then it scurs everything up.
00:06:23.700 You know, it's, it's not a good system when you always have a toddler around, which it
00:06:27.280 looks like is going to continue.
00:06:28.280 Cause as I mentioned at the end of one of the videos, we just got our seven week, you're
00:06:32.140 still pregnant mark, which is very fortunate.
00:06:35.160 Yeah.
00:06:35.340 But hopefully when this goes live, we'll recently got the eight week, you're still pregnant
00:06:37.980 mark, which will bring us in like 0.5% chance that it doesn't make it.
00:06:41.940 Anyways, we'll follow up the statistics, but we're only a 4% chance it doesn't make it now
00:06:45.360 or something, which is such a relief.
00:06:47.040 Anyway, so hopefully larger soon, but the point being is that this is a normal thing.
00:06:53.660 And this person was like, apparently CPS had heard sometimes the children start crying and
00:06:59.760 the parents don't go down and comfort them.
00:07:02.080 Yeah.
00:07:02.700 And I'm like, yeah, that's like a normal child rearing thing.
00:07:06.100 I'll be fair.
00:07:07.040 You know, sleep training is controversial, but in Emily Oster's book on this phase of childhood,
00:07:13.260 the sleep training phase in her chapter on sleep training there, her general conclusion
00:07:17.040 was sleep training.
00:07:18.880 That is to say, letting your kid cry it out for a little bit.
00:07:21.020 Now, of course the, the, the way that we do it and the way that it's advised is if you
00:07:24.240 hear them cry for like longer than 10 minutes, you go, you comfort them, then you leave the
00:07:27.680 room again.
00:07:28.140 And that's what we do, but usually they don't cry for longer than 10 minutes.
00:07:30.880 So anyway, that generally taking that approach and not letting them basically keep you up all
00:07:36.060 night and keep themselves up all night leads to better sleep, more sleep for the children,
00:07:40.180 which is crucial for development and also less stressed parents.
00:07:42.940 Meaning better parents.
00:07:44.560 Well, they're trying to create a coddled generation.
00:07:46.840 They have created a coddled generation.
00:07:48.860 They're trying to make it even more infantile.
00:07:51.500 You know, the nanny state needs little baby adults.
00:07:54.300 It was funny.
00:07:54.760 We were walking around target this morning because target walks are really fun.
00:08:00.060 And the just like, there were four aisles for child and adult sippy cups.
00:08:05.300 Like what is happening?
00:08:07.860 Why are there so many sippy cups people?
00:08:10.780 Why?
00:08:11.020 I know I'm imagining adults in like these, you know, adult diapers everywhere and little
00:08:16.320 sippy cups.
00:08:17.280 Oh, I can't handle anything.
00:08:19.440 I need someone to come when I cry at night.
00:08:21.200 So many sippy cups.
00:08:22.040 How many sippy cups do people need?
00:08:23.800 I mean, I understand why, why these extremists are so sad about the way we're raising our kids
00:08:29.360 because they probably do cry themselves to sleep every night.
00:08:32.260 Wake up every night in fits of tears.
00:08:34.960 Fall asleep to the sounds of their own screams.
00:08:37.340 That's, that's the life, the nightmare they've created for themselves.
00:08:41.720 Oh God.
00:08:42.420 So the, the final attack point, you might think it's, they let their kids interact with barnyard
00:08:48.640 animals like chickens and dogs.
00:08:51.480 No, it was actually that we have our kids play outside.
00:08:55.180 Now keep in mind, we have a kitchen.
00:08:56.880 You guys have seen videos of the kitchen a lot.
00:08:58.640 It's got views to our yard, but we let them play outside without us being there.
00:09:01.820 And we locked the gates with, with coded lock that said that the kids can't open.
00:09:05.400 But yeah, we let our kids play outside without us also outside.
00:09:11.580 The, what are you trying to do to a generation?
00:09:15.060 So the reason I bring all of this up is because I had read stories about CPS being called on
00:09:22.520 families for letting their kid walk to school or one family was, they let their, you know,
00:09:26.660 14 year old watch their eight year old, you know, and then the CPS was called on them
00:09:30.200 and they, they actually went to jail for a while, you know?
00:09:32.160 So like actual bad things can come of this, right?
00:09:34.700 Yeah.
00:09:34.820 So this call was legit, scary, legit, scary.
00:09:37.260 Oh yeah.
00:09:37.600 Yeah.
00:09:37.780 It was legit terrifying.
00:09:39.360 And it is one of the things where you're like, oh my God, like this is not like a conservative
00:09:48.200 fever dream of what's going on right now.
00:09:51.980 This is real enough that it affected us.
00:09:54.800 And it doesn't appear to have been a SWAT thing.
00:09:56.860 It appears to have been like a neighbor or something had actual concerns that our kids
00:10:01.000 were outside playing without us there, you know, with a, with a dog, with a, a perfect
00:10:05.820 view from the kitchen.
00:10:06.760 And anyone would have known this.
00:10:07.880 And the thing about the kids sleeping alone at night, that also really freaks me out because
00:10:13.160 that's like somebody was watching our house.
00:10:15.860 So that really only could have been a neighbor, a stalker or a private investigator.
00:10:20.980 It's, it's pretty creepy.
00:10:22.200 And it's, I mean, I don't want to say that child protective services groups are at all
00:10:27.720 like a threat.
00:10:28.460 I mean, they can be a threat to parents.
00:10:29.900 I think, so the problem is they're doing really important work and I'm like so in support
00:10:33.820 of protecting children.
00:10:35.040 And, and keep in mind, this woman didn't just feel like, I think that they probably do
00:10:38.600 more harm than good.
00:10:39.600 So maybe, but let's, let's, maybe we can get into this.
00:10:42.380 I mean, so what this woman also said was like, do you need assistance with clothing?
00:10:46.200 Do you need assistance with diapers?
00:10:47.520 And maybe, you know, if we were actually in a really dire situation and actually if our
00:10:51.680 kids were in clothing that was really uncomfortable, that didn't fit them, you know, if we were
00:10:55.740 actually resource scarce, that could have been a very welcome call.
00:10:59.600 You know, they offered diapers and, and, you know, we through other businesses have worked
00:11:03.600 with state agencies that are like their local child protective services.
00:11:07.300 We know how much effort they put into, you know, keeping kids safe and everything and how
00:11:12.100 they go above and beyond.
00:11:12.760 I think the larger issue is that the societal standards that are separating children from
00:11:18.120 their parents are not that well correlated to child wellbeing, that, that parents are losing
00:11:24.100 their kids, not because their kids are in any real danger, but because they are deviating
00:11:29.080 from societal norms, which are frankly, very unsustainable financially, mentally, logistically,
00:11:34.460 et cetera, like super unsustainable for parents.
00:11:36.520 We often use the term cultural genocide, right?
00:11:40.040 Yeah.
00:11:40.160 And I, and I use the analogy of the Canadian residential school system where kids were taken
00:11:45.220 from native American families and put into these boarding schools so that they could be
00:11:48.720 taught the correct European culture.
00:11:50.720 And people often are like, you are overreaching.
00:11:54.180 What is happening here with child protective services?
00:11:57.060 It is the dominant cultural group saying you are not raising kids the way that we approve
00:12:01.060 of kids being raised.
00:12:02.480 Therefore we are taking your kids from you, even though there'll be in a materially worse
00:12:07.340 situation, like a less resources, everything like that, they will be in the correct, the
00:12:12.580 only ethical cultural group.
00:12:14.400 And something I always point out here is, you know, if you, if you look at the analogy of
00:12:18.560 the Canadian residential school system, people are like a lot of your views on the world sound
00:12:22.460 sort of progressive-y, right?
00:12:24.240 You know, like pro-gay, whatever.
00:12:25.740 Right.
00:12:25.960 So why are you, you antagonistic to this happening?
00:12:29.700 And this is a bit like some, but some European person being like, what you all are doing with
00:12:34.700 this residential school system is straight evil.
00:12:37.560 It is the purest form of evil.
00:12:39.560 And somebody being like, but you're a European, right?
00:12:41.900 You're of this European cultural group.
00:12:43.420 Why do you care that these people are having their cultures systematically eradicated?
00:12:47.120 They're obviously bad people because they're different from you.
00:12:50.200 And that's just not the way we see the world.
00:12:52.100 People who are different from us aren't automatically bad.
00:12:54.320 And when you have an active genocide campaign ongoing, where the actual goal is you guys
00:13:00.840 are doing something different.
00:13:02.200 Let's erase that.
00:13:03.420 Kids are not safe if they're not raised within our cultural group.
00:13:06.740 And a lot of people don't really know this is going on or really don't know how aggressively
00:13:11.180 this is going on.
00:13:12.460 And even with us, sometimes I'm like, I might be overstating things.
00:13:16.440 And then CPS comes to talk to us.
00:13:19.640 Yeah.
00:13:20.180 Talk about a wake-up call.
00:13:21.140 What was interesting, too, is we were with friends when this happened, too.
00:13:25.720 And after the call, they came in and saw that we were looking really weird and like, what
00:13:29.260 happened?
00:13:29.760 And we said, well, CPS was called on us.
00:13:31.740 And they were like, oh, you know, when I had a pet dog, the animal version of CPS was
00:13:38.520 called on them.
00:13:39.380 And I do feel like that's kind of indicative of a larger amount of social policing over
00:13:45.120 people's behavior, which is really interesting.
00:13:47.820 Social policing is the wrong word.
00:13:49.680 OK, what would you call it?
00:13:52.000 Individuals feeling that they have the right to assert their culture on other individuals
00:13:56.820 if there was in the progressive group.
00:13:58.440 OK, so cultural hegemony.
00:14:00.260 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:01.120 I'd say genocide.
00:14:02.880 Genocide.
00:14:03.300 It's literally like the secret police.
00:14:04.680 So sorry, this is what cultural genocide is.
00:14:07.120 And it's important that you call out what it is so people recognize what's happening
00:14:11.680 here.
00:14:12.080 OK?
00:14:12.360 Yeah.
00:14:12.680 It is a Catholic is not going to call the police on their neighbors saying they're not
00:14:19.400 raising their kids Catholic enough.
00:14:21.240 A Hasidic Jew is not going to call the police on their neighbors saying they're not raising
00:14:25.440 their kid Jewish enough.
00:14:27.000 What is happening here, whether it's dogs or kids, is progressives feel they have the right
00:14:32.400 and obviously have the ability to call the government.
00:14:36.220 So people who are part of this urban monoculture, this dominant culture in our society now, saying
00:14:40.560 they are not raising their kids in a style that I, as a progressive, approve of.
00:14:46.500 Yeah.
00:14:46.820 Because I promise you, these calls did not come from a conservative.
00:14:50.840 Nobody who's actually raised kids and is part of intergenerationally viable culture is saying
00:14:57.720 their kids are getting sick a lot.
00:15:00.000 Something must be wrong.
00:15:01.760 You know, anyone who's been around kids knows that's really normal.
00:15:05.680 Yeah.
00:15:05.720 So what this is is a person of this dominant cultural group that one, both feels they have
00:15:11.820 the right to attempt to erase another cultural group and actually has the societal tools to
00:15:17.800 the, the level that those two tools react to their pushing the button, get these people
00:15:23.340 Gestapo, come to their house, take their kids.
00:15:25.920 And, and, and this is actually happening to people.
00:15:28.440 And this is the thing, you know, like where we mentioned these people going to jail and
00:15:31.700 I'll post studies here for like insane stuff, right?
00:15:35.720 This is something that's actually happening in this country.
00:15:37.840 And I think a lot of people are like, well, I, as a progressive don't approve of
00:15:41.780 these things and it's fine that many Nazis did not approve of the Holocaust.
00:15:46.880 It doesn't mean that it's not happening and that we as a country, whether it's progressives
00:15:51.400 or conservatives need to address that there is a faction within our country that believes
00:15:57.240 they have a mandate for genocide, cultural genocide, and has the tools to enact it.
00:16:03.280 Yeah.
00:16:03.900 I, this is interesting.
00:16:04.840 I'm even thinking about one progressive YouTuber whose channel I really like.
00:16:10.200 She's called plenty Fridays and I really enjoy her content, but seeing how she reacts to
00:16:16.260 like, what she'll do is she'll do commentary on various conservative figures, like the girl
00:16:21.060 defined girls and talk about like their lifestyle and how they're choosing to do things.
00:16:24.880 And she does often comment on how they regard pets, like how they take care of pets and how
00:16:31.480 they take care of children.
00:16:33.340 Like she, she will criticize, for example, a couple for fostering a baby and then like
00:16:40.440 kind of framing it as though they expect to adopt the baby and instead of let the baby go
00:16:45.600 back to like their family or try to get the baby back to the family.
00:16:47.980 Or at one point she criticized a family for shooting a dog that had been run over by a car to
00:16:55.260 basically euthanize it on the spot because it was dying in an intense pain instead of attempting
00:17:00.020 to move it and drive it to a, an animal hospital and see if they could revive it.
00:17:04.640 Even though this dog was probably pretty far gone.
00:17:06.240 What's his YouTuber's name, by the way?
00:17:07.880 Fundy Fridays.
00:17:08.940 Fundy Fridays.
00:17:09.640 Yeah.
00:17:09.840 So, so, I mean, and then think about how sick what's going on here, right?
00:17:13.020 Many cultural groups, I, I, I, many same cultural groups would be like, if an animal's
00:17:17.200 dying, put it down, right?
00:17:18.580 If you're caring for a kid, it's normal to form an attachment to the kid and want to give that
00:17:22.740 kid a good life, but she feels the right.
00:17:26.280 This is somebody who, who doesn't care for kids, who hasn't adopted kids.
00:17:30.540 And that's one of the things, you know, when we're talking, she doesn't have pets to be
00:17:33.540 fair.
00:17:34.260 Well, and pets, she probably has pets.
00:17:36.140 I don't know.
00:17:36.320 Yeah.
00:17:36.440 She does have pets.
00:17:37.340 Yeah.
00:17:37.520 But, but when you're talking, you know, with antinatalists and they're like, you should
00:17:40.960 be doing X or Y with your kids.
00:17:43.540 If you, if you have done this horrible thing of bringing them into the world and you're like,
00:17:46.860 you could adopt kids.
00:17:48.580 And they're like, Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:51.960 What I mean is I want to better police the people who have kids.
00:17:54.880 I don't want to take on any responsibility.
00:17:56.940 I don't want to make any sacrifices.
00:17:58.920 I don't actually believe anything I'm saying in a persistent format.
00:18:02.660 I'm not about reducing suffering in like a, a way that would cause me to have to hold on.
00:18:08.860 You're straw manning it.
00:18:09.920 You're straw manning it.
00:18:10.920 What's really going on is they would never have those kids in the first place.
00:18:14.720 And they strongly believe, you know, if you have kids, if you have pets, you need to,
00:18:18.940 to, you know, raise them or have them in this particular way.
00:18:21.960 And I personally never will have the funds or the resources or the mental health level
00:18:26.460 that will permit me to raise kids in the right way.
00:18:28.360 And therefore I'm being responsible and not doing it.
00:18:30.680 Whereas these monsters are not only having kids and raising them suboptimal,
00:18:34.640 but having a lot of them.
00:18:35.720 And that makes them monsters because they're, they're creating.
00:18:38.540 Hold on.
00:18:39.760 A lot of cultural traditions would tell other cultural traditions.
00:18:44.480 I disapprove of the way you're doing things.
00:18:46.800 Yeah, it is not normal.
00:18:49.860 Like you're acting like this is a normal thing to get the state involved or to get
00:18:55.480 No, getting the state involved is next level.
00:18:57.140 And I just want to be clear.
00:18:58.140 Funny Friday is not.
00:18:59.680 Look at how bad they're being.
00:19:00.880 Let's culturally pressure them to engage with kids our way.
00:19:05.100 That is not like an, okay.
00:19:07.980 That is, that is the distillation of human evil.
00:19:14.440 That is what that leads to.
00:19:16.380 And anyone who is incapable of seeing that is incapable of seeing why we're so fired up
00:19:21.100 about all this.
00:19:22.000 Yeah.
00:19:22.240 And, and, and why, you know, you as somebody who, who I think genuinely, you know, you do
00:19:27.340 want, you know, less human suffering.
00:19:29.040 You, you do want more equality.
00:19:31.120 You still believe in the value system that the progressives claim to be fighting for.
00:19:38.400 But the moment you're out of the cult, you see how much they are acting like the purest
00:19:43.520 forms of human evil.
00:19:45.340 Yeah.
00:19:45.460 Well, and I also see that the outcomes of progressive culture for youth and for pets,
00:19:51.400 if we're being honest, are not great.
00:19:54.780 Oh, talk about the pets on the drugs.
00:19:57.000 So pets now are on record levels of antidepressants and attention meds.
00:20:02.760 So like, they are a lot of pets these days.
00:20:05.100 And these are the pets that are getting like refrigerated meat for their dog food.
00:20:09.540 Like this, you know, like I'm, I'm impressed by pet products.
00:20:11.940 Like pets have it awesome, but they're, they're deeply unhappy.
00:20:15.460 They are not, you know, they're not outside playing.
00:20:18.160 They're not getting enough time.
00:20:19.180 But they don't have it awesome because here's what's happening.
00:20:21.500 You know, you want to talk about talking about something.
00:20:23.840 So we're going to talk broadly about the, the average progressive pet.
00:20:26.840 This is somebody in a city who has a pet who has no business being indoors nearly 24 seven.
00:20:33.320 Yeah.
00:20:34.220 They're likely overweight.
00:20:35.280 So they're not actually walking the pets the way they should.
00:20:38.360 They are.
00:20:39.080 No, it's true.
00:20:40.220 That's why they're all on all these beds.
00:20:42.000 You know, you can trust this with our dog, right?
00:20:44.480 Goes out, plays in the, in the field, plays with the chickens, plays with the kids.
00:20:49.520 You know, this is what dogs were bred to enjoy.
00:20:53.580 They're bred to enjoy working and being outside and engaging with a family, not an individual.
00:21:01.440 Okay.
00:21:02.560 And, and I'm not out there policing them.
00:21:05.160 I would never even think to police them, but I am saying objectively, there's a reason all
00:21:09.100 their pets have these mental health issues.
00:21:10.780 Not all.
00:21:11.560 Yeah.
00:21:11.700 Well, and so, but just back to my point.
00:21:13.520 Yeah.
00:21:13.940 So pets are at record levels of apparent health issues and mental health issues.
00:21:19.300 And also it looks like youth right now is at record levels of mental health issues.
00:21:24.280 And so that also makes me question this, this desired hegemony of culture is also kind of
00:21:32.640 damaging.
00:21:33.040 Like it's not, it's not performing well.
00:21:34.900 Like, it'd be one thing if I like genuinely believed that this was going to cause more
00:21:39.020 human flourishing and less suffering, which is what I believed when I was growing up, that
00:21:42.980 this kind of culture is just, it's going to create the Star Trek universe where, you
00:21:46.340 know, people are going to far-flung galaxies.
00:21:48.760 Yeah.
00:21:49.260 And this is something we consistently see.
00:21:50.920 So when we talk about different ways of culturally relating to same-sex individuals, you know,
00:21:54.440 we talk about conservative cultures have a bunch of different ways of doing this.
00:21:56.820 You can see our other videos about this.
00:21:58.420 And progressive culture has this one way of doing it.
00:22:00.140 And they justify that.
00:22:01.620 They're like, yes, but our way is the way that we should treat, teach kids.
00:22:05.820 It's the way we should teach everyone because it leads to lower suicide rates and lower depression
00:22:11.060 rates.
00:22:12.120 And then it's like, yeah, except progressives more broadly have higher suicide rates.
00:22:18.140 Depressed progressives have higher suicide rates and progressives have higher suicide rates.
00:22:23.260 And so, well, if that's true, then shouldn't we just raise everyone in a conservative culture
00:22:27.540 because they have lower suicide rates and lower depression rates.
00:22:31.180 And it's one of these, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22:35.320 These statistics don't matter when they make other cultural groups look good.
00:22:39.440 They only matter when they make our cultural group look good.
00:22:42.820 They only matter when they justify our actions that if anyone else was doing them, we would
00:22:47.700 call evil, you know?
00:22:49.500 So I really hear what you're saying, and it is horrifying for me how many individuals in
00:23:00.140 our society today are able to justify an action by saying, oh, this lowers the amount of suffering
00:23:07.820 the individual is going through.
00:23:09.240 And yet you can just point out from simple statistics that since you started collecting
00:23:13.460 data, conservatives have always been happier than progressives.
00:23:16.880 And it's because these conservative traditions apparently work better.
00:23:21.240 And we're not like super, like we have this weird tradition that's not being collected for
00:23:26.740 in any of the data sources.
00:23:27.900 So we're not really on one side or the other.
00:23:30.560 We're sort of outside people being like, hey, maybe stop the genocide thing that you guys are
00:23:35.960 doing.
00:23:36.940 Oh, no, you think this is ethical?
00:23:39.260 Hold on.
00:23:39.900 This is getting scary.
00:23:41.340 We are people, both of us, who, you know, when I was in high school, I protected, this is
00:23:45.840 something I mentioned in other things.
00:23:47.080 I regularly inserted myself into physical fights to protect gay kids.
00:23:51.360 Simone grew up in San Francisco.
00:23:52.700 Like she thought this was totally normal.
00:23:54.420 We are what progressives would think of as, you know, progressives from a generation ago,
00:23:59.700 right?
00:24:00.680 But looking at society, looking at the direction of gone, it's now clear who's punching down,
00:24:06.240 you know?
00:24:07.060 It's now clear who has no power in our society.
00:24:09.780 It's now clear who is doing like literally the most unthinkable things a human being can
00:24:17.060 do.
00:24:19.300 Yeah, it's not great.
00:24:20.740 It's not great.
00:24:21.440 It's scary.
00:24:22.520 It's, I guess it's like very hard to believe that these things are happening and then they
00:24:26.840 happen to you.
00:24:27.480 So, and I, my, my guess is that, again, this came from someone who was genuinely well-intentioned
00:24:33.740 and who genuinely thought that our children were at risk, but really it's, it's very much
00:24:38.200 like the DSM, right?
00:24:39.160 Where mental, mental health disorders are more a reflection of where society is and not so
00:24:44.200 much a reflection of whether someone's thriving or not.
00:24:46.160 And I think maybe this means that, for example, many CPS calls and like pet safety calls, whatever
00:24:52.640 that department is, are really more about societal norms than they are about actual human
00:24:58.020 or pet safety and flourishing.
00:25:00.760 So it's disturbing.
00:25:01.580 She dropped something like everyone should know what we're talking about because we've
00:25:03.860 mentioned in past episodes.
00:25:05.380 The DSM is the standard diagnostic manual.
00:25:07.360 It's used for diagnosing psychiatric conditions and psychological conditions.
00:25:10.540 It used to mention things like in the seventies, like same-sex attraction was considered a
00:25:15.020 psychological issue and, and it now no longer says that.
00:25:18.480 If you look at what they're looking at changing today, they're looking at taking out things
00:25:21.120 like sadism, masochism, stuff like that.
00:25:23.180 Cause you're like, okay, this is like a mainstream sexual thing now.
00:25:26.280 So yeah, it happens.
00:25:28.000 These, these things change just important to point that out.
00:25:30.560 And I, and I think you're right.
00:25:31.760 Yeah.
00:25:31.960 It's, it's, it's the same as child rearing.
00:25:34.080 However, I think it's more than that.
00:25:35.380 I think when people are talking about child rearing, they're not talking about like acceptable
00:25:38.280 behavioral states.
00:25:39.580 They're talking about imposing culture on other people.
00:25:42.980 And I think that, that it's, it's so easy to understate how insidious it is whenever somebody
00:25:48.880 says that they have the right to raise somebody else's kids or the state has the right to raise
00:25:53.780 somebody else's kids.
00:25:54.760 And they just don't use those words.
00:25:56.660 They don't use the words.
00:25:58.360 The state should take your kids from you and be raising them because I disagree with your
00:26:02.780 cultural practices.
00:26:04.520 Yeah.
00:26:05.020 That's what they mean.
00:26:05.800 That's what they're saying.
00:26:06.560 That's functionally what's happening.
00:26:07.860 And, and again, this is one of those things where like I've talked, you know, in other episodes,
00:26:11.760 I think it's one of those things where you need to sort of shape people and wake them
00:26:15.140 out of it because they don't have the words for what they're doing.
00:26:18.920 They don't have, they, they, they're like, oh, what I'm doing is good because the people
00:26:24.640 I'm doing it to are culturally backwards and bad.
00:26:28.320 And it's, that's what the colonists thought.
00:26:30.680 That's what every evil group in history has ever thought.
00:26:35.380 You, you, you, the deplorables, when you categorize half your population that way, you, you are,
00:26:43.380 and they're like, well, I don't think half of them.
00:26:45.380 Yeah.
00:26:45.500 But your leaders think half of them are deplorable.
00:26:48.700 You're your leaders do.
00:26:50.620 And when you allow this to happen, it doesn't matter if you disagree with the evil thing your
00:26:55.880 leaders are doing.
00:26:56.760 If they are able to get into power, if you do not get out there and start protesting your
00:27:01.900 own organizations and your own centers of hate, this continues and spirals out of control.
00:27:09.760 And in history, it has only ever led to one place.
00:27:15.120 The problem this time is it's probably going to lead in a very different place.
00:27:19.540 And because the group that is the most persecuted right now, which is the conservative group in
00:27:24.260 our society, they have way more kids.
00:27:27.220 They're not conservatives more broadly.
00:27:28.840 I'm talking about the various conservative cultural groups.
00:27:30.660 They're able to motivate reproduction.
00:27:32.020 They have more kids.
00:27:33.180 They're better armed.
00:27:34.160 And they have about had it.
00:27:36.880 And it scares me where things are going.
00:27:40.360 Because when you go to a family and you say, I'm going to take your kids, that's one of
00:27:44.740 the few, okay, hands down.
00:27:47.300 Now, now those are fight words.
00:27:48.840 That's one of the few things where something can really get sparked.
00:27:53.040 And that's where things are going increasingly and increasingly in our society.
00:27:57.020 And as the people who are still having kids make up a bigger faction and faction of society,
00:28:02.140 which they will 50, 100 years from now, and as the group that primarily sustains itself
00:28:07.280 because they don't have kids by taking other people's kids needs to become more aggressive
00:28:11.900 to continue that because other groups, you know, develop immunities for this, the iterations
00:28:15.760 of their cultural traditions that weren't good at defending against this end up dying out.
00:28:19.360 Things eventually come to a head.
00:28:20.880 And I'm worried.
00:28:21.560 I'm worried.
00:28:21.860 Yeah, I mean, here's the bright side.
00:28:27.380 It probably is going to be the case that Child Protective Services gets called on us several
00:28:32.800 times.
00:28:33.380 And it's better for us to get to know them now rather than later, because then at least
00:28:38.820 they'll understand that people are just going to call them on us a lot.
00:28:43.760 And I don't want them to waste their resources.
00:28:46.180 I think they're doing, you know, really helpful work.
00:28:49.180 I really worry about kids who don't have enough food, don't have enough clothing, don't have
00:28:53.320 diapers.
00:28:53.760 That is a real problem.
00:28:54.620 They're doing really good work.
00:28:55.660 So better that they know us now and understand that we're okay and we don't need help and
00:29:00.420 that our children are not, are not wearing rags.
00:29:03.440 They're wearing Ralph Lauren.
00:29:05.280 It's just Ralph Lauren, the horror, Simone, the definition of stealth.
00:29:13.160 That is the definition of abuse.
00:29:17.920 Yeah, apparently.
00:29:18.720 To put your kids in a used Ralph, you know, another child wore that and probably got their
00:29:23.860 boogers on it.
00:29:24.740 Disgusting.
00:29:25.360 Right.
00:29:25.660 Yeah.
00:29:25.900 No wonder our children are, are so sick.
00:29:28.640 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:31.560 What could it possibly be other than that?
00:29:34.500 They're, they're used clothing and they're, they're outdoor air.
00:29:39.080 Yeah.
00:29:39.520 The fresh air is.
00:29:40.500 Why don't we have a handler for every kid we have constantly looking over them?
00:29:46.640 Boy.
00:29:47.280 Yeah.
00:29:47.520 Well, what I am really grateful for is what a great dad you are.
00:29:51.160 Our kids adore you and love you and admire you and copy you.
00:29:55.520 And I'm so glad for that.
00:29:57.700 It's, I love having pocket Malcolm's all over the house.
00:30:00.040 So thanks for being such a great dad.
00:30:01.860 Even if some people think that you are a true monster as a parent and that I am the definition
00:30:06.460 of evil as a mother.
00:30:08.040 Or a spectacularly diligent mom.
00:30:10.720 And everyone can see this from the videos you take.
00:30:13.240 And I am just, and, and, and edit.
00:30:15.280 I love these ones that we do after these videos.
00:30:17.700 And, you know, when we're only talking about PC stuff, well, not PC, but, but just non,
00:30:22.200 you know, I don't like attaching my kids to anything that's salacious.
00:30:25.780 And so they'll, they'll probably be after this one.
00:30:27.780 And I'm excited for you guys to get another peek into the spectacular fantasy that Simone has
00:30:35.060 crafted for my daily existence.
00:30:39.080 That's all you, Malcolm, but I love you.
00:30:41.120 Had fun with us.
