00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited to be here with you today today we are going to do a deep dive into
00:00:04.960 a few topics one is to try to understand how progressives see fascism as something other than
00:00:13.000 just progressivism you can go find our band video where we talk about that because i really wanted
00:00:19.260 to understand what is their perspective on this and in that i ended up doing a deep dive on a
00:00:25.620 figure called note brigade who runs a popular twitter account and right now it's going viral
00:00:30.920 on right-wing circles because she fled the united states as a refugee went to canada and then
00:00:38.560 immediately realized everything is worse in canada my partner our cat and our dog fled the united
00:00:45.280 states we headed north and in canada i think it's actually the the cost of living crisis is worse
00:00:53.120 here she it's actually very interesting watching her because i wanted to understand
00:00:58.500 why did she think she was in danger right this is somebody who lived in la she is a white woman
00:01:05.920 okay well she identifies as non-binary or something but basically a white woman who lives in la
00:01:11.640 she presumably because of like anti-trans stuff or something she decided that she needed to flee
00:01:18.520 the united states without a super big plan and she then goes and and i'll note here because i've
00:01:25.460 watched a lot of her videos to try to understand her world perspective what's interesting to me is
00:01:30.120 if you could just break through the wall she's actually very republican in a lot of her views
00:01:35.420 and not even that unreasonable in most of her political views i'll give you an example
00:01:40.540 she has one video where she says you leftists cannot tell the difference between what makes you
00:01:46.680 uncomfortable and what makes you safe
00:01:48.820 i'm sorry but you're not you want to know why it's because you cannot tell the difference
00:01:56.200 between what makes you uncomfortable and what makes you unsafe and you are so committed to your own
00:02:02.940 comfort and your own emotional safety you're willing to pass up opportunities to build coalition
00:02:10.040 you literally cannot recognize allies even when they drop into your lap that's a view that i
00:02:16.620 think many right-wingers would have about leftist communities right specifically she was complaining
00:02:22.000 about a leftist community she was in refused to work with a church and she's like look this church
00:02:27.480 had colonizers flags everywhere progress pride flags as she would have called them you know they were
00:02:31.680 the wokest of the woke and many people of the group just would not work with them you can't tell
00:02:37.560 that churches aren't all the same and you don't know your own history you can't tolerate any nuance
00:02:42.240 where do you think the civil rights movement happened it'd be so convenient if we could just
00:02:47.240 blanket dismiss whole groups of people as being unworthy of being our allies just because they're
00:02:53.300 religious but unfortunately you actually have to hold nuance and i was like that's a good and in her
00:02:57.920 video where she goes over what fascism is in her mind i think she does explain modern rightist
00:03:04.020 movements very well and she even correctly diagnoses why they're so popular right now and why leftist
00:03:09.600 movements are not popular right now so there is a degree of sanity to her worldview and this made it
00:03:13.640 more interesting to me right yeah and not only that when i hear about the the reasons that she's
00:03:19.780 like sad to move to canada yet one of the first ones she mentions is that she won't be able to bring her
00:03:25.340 guns because she says she doesn't feel safe without being armed all the time so can i recently took down
00:03:32.180 a video i made about being a gun owner and wishing that i could bring my gun with me to canada
00:03:36.640 because i think it spooked a lot of my canadian friends like just sound fairly right wing yeah
00:03:42.620 yeah like working with churches to do food drives for the poor that's a pretty right wing thing to do
00:03:50.000 not a very left wing thing to do within the modern political context you have guns and are afraid to
00:03:56.740 give them up she gets to canada and she immediately starts complaining about
00:04:01.820 how high the cost of housing is and how high the cost of living is pointing out that it's much
00:04:10.240 higher than it is in the united states and i'm like did this not like canada's a way woker country
00:04:17.000 than the does it not drive through that maybe their policies are leading to this like presumably canada's
00:04:22.940 much worse than the united states for a reason right like does she not think in the united states in
00:04:29.020 canada if i go and i live in a right wing area the cost of living is going to be much better
00:04:32.440 and by the way she got herself in super hot water even with progressives because she immediately
00:04:37.440 starts begging for money and people are like well you understand it's it's bad for people who live
00:04:41.540 in canada too yeah you didn't need to come here and make the problem worse right like you as an
00:04:47.160 immigrant are driving up the immigrants driving up oh no but i want to go into her takedown of
00:04:54.080 fascism and i will read some parts of it for you simone and i will play some parts of it for our
00:04:59.860 fans so they can see it in her own words because again i i do not think that she is an elegant speaker
00:05:05.200 okay
00:05:06.380 so she goes if you call everything you don't like from biden to trump
00:05:13.400 fascism when fascism arrives at your door you are caught with your outfit which is exactly what's
00:05:19.300 happened so you need to get a clear definition of fascism and she talks about how scholars have
00:05:24.420 two definitions of fascism one is just like listing it's like a listicle of a bunch of traits that
00:05:29.880 fascism has and i point out that the reason why they do this is to hide from themselves that
00:05:35.020 fascism is just leftism like whatever modern progressivism is and when people are like no
00:05:40.800 like fascists killed gay people and i'm like well historically leftist governments were way more
00:05:47.080 likely to kill gay people than capitalist governments and we'll do a separate episode on that eventually
00:05:51.280 but yeah most communist governments not all but most decided to try to genocide their gay populations at
00:05:57.740 one point or another same with their jewish populations famous communists love killing jews
00:06:03.100 you know if you don't specifically code fascist governments as right wing if you don't code because
00:06:08.620 racism um racism can't be like only right wing when it's directed in one direction like anyone will say
00:06:14.080 like anti-white racism is left wing what then anti-black racism is no racism is just racism right
00:06:19.620 you know you you had a lot of socialization of things you had a lot of big government projects
00:06:25.340 you had a lot of dividing people into various ethnic groups you had a lot of scapegoating of jews which
00:06:29.940 the left has been very big in recently so i don't want to go too big you can watch our episode on that
00:06:35.220 it's on substack youtube doesn't want you to see it but what i found interesting for her then she goes into
00:06:40.500 the second definition of fascism that she creates and i the reason i bring that up is because the
00:06:44.820 reason why leftists have to do a listical definition of fascism instead of just saying like was communism
00:06:49.580 when we're describing communism we're like oh it's just you know you distribute every that's the state
00:06:54.480 collects everything from from individuals right and then tries to distribute it to everyone right
00:06:59.960 to try to create some form of like equality within society right and then within capital that's a very
00:07:05.180 easy to understand explanation people hear that and there you go i know what you're talking about
00:07:10.360 and then with capitalism it is oh you know it's a free market economy right everybody gets that
00:07:15.240 immediately you don't need a big listicle with fascism if you boil it down in my head right like the way
00:07:19.720 i've always boiled it down it's when the state collects from the people to serve some ideology
00:07:26.060 some often nationalist in flavor ideological goal which sounds a lot like modern socialism or modern
00:07:34.240 progressivism right it's the state collects from everyone instead of for wealth redistribution for
00:07:40.340 wealth redistribution to specific ethnic groups for an ideological goal which is what you see
00:07:46.140 progressives often pushing for with dei and stuff like this but what she says fascism is and she uses the
00:07:53.300 definition by roger griffins never heard of them fascism is a genus of political ideology whose mythic core
00:08:01.700 in its various permutations is a polygenetic form of populist ultra nationalism political ideology
00:08:10.080 how societies should organize themselves politically not familiar with that word so so it needs to be
00:08:17.380 three things in her mindset right it needs to be populist it needs to be nationalist right and it needs
00:08:26.140 to be palliogenetic no i know here in your head you're like well milcom i understand that she has
00:08:34.440 psychologically destroyed herself but it's not like she's imposing this on other people my students just
00:08:40.540 turned in their midterm exams online right and there's this little box at the end that had 2.5 points extra
00:08:47.920 credit if you told me what unit that we had covered in the social problems class was your favorite and that
00:08:54.380 you'd learn the most from and one student didn't even answer that he just wrote in the box i hate the rich
00:09:00.440 so fucking much anything i can learn about inequality and their how to take them down i'm into so he got
00:09:10.180 the 2.5 credits even though he didn't tell me anything specific and i was like same fam same but
00:09:17.660 what is polygenetic okay so polygenetic refers to the concept of rebirth or regeneration or recreation
00:09:24.760 stemming from the reek words again and births it signifies the renewal or starting over
00:09:32.320 and i'd agree with that most most fascist states i've seen have an element of that right okay sure any
00:09:39.640 in a typical and it is something that you don't see in leftist movements as much you do not see the
00:09:44.840 idea of rebirth in leftist movements and it does allow for easy parallels to trumpism and magaism
00:09:51.300 right like make america great again right like recreate a past greatness through a form of rebirth
00:09:59.820 absolutely okay so okay yeah i buy that i don't see why that's necessarily a bad thing if a current
00:10:08.440 like if you have some myth that is easy for the public to believe and i think to an extent
00:10:15.380 substantiated of a period in american history where it appeared that now i do not think the average
00:10:21.880 american's quality of life was higher than it is today but i do think that you could see our episode
00:10:25.880 on be thankful the thanksgiving episode we did but i do think that while the average american's quality
00:10:33.480 of life wasn't better during that period there was definitely more forwards momentum during certain
00:10:38.140 periods of american history in terms of technological progress scientific progress industrial progress
00:10:43.920 raising people out of poverty right and so to look at a period and say i want that again for america i
00:10:51.000 want fast technological progress i want fast scientific progress i want to raise people out of poverty
00:10:56.240 at a fast rate without necessarily go you're you're going to look at naturally when you do that well
00:11:02.660 how were things in the past that they were able to achieve these things because maybe something some
00:11:08.140 cultural technology some social technology that we have adopted is leading to those things no longer
00:11:14.420 happening at the same rate that to me doesn't seem like an intrinsically negative thing that isn't
00:11:19.760 something that i would just reflexively say this is a something i decry or i don't like about magaism
00:11:25.900 it's something that i'd actively promote to look at why our society has economically stagnated
00:11:32.800 right and and and i think that the fear that a leftist has over that and she would have over that
00:11:41.000 given her world conception is is if i do that if i admit that certain shifts in social norms
00:11:51.280 post you know 1950s may have actually had deleterious effects to society
00:11:57.960 and see our episode on how progressivism or how woke's zombified black culture i'd point out that
00:12:05.460 many of these myths are here like that blacks were significantly worse off then and if you actually go
00:12:10.820 through all the statistics on this there have been more racially motivated black killings in the past
00:12:17.180 10 years significantly i want to say it's like four times higher than there were lynches in the 1950s
00:12:22.420 if you want numbers here there were about two dozen people black people who were killed due to racial
00:12:27.520 violence in the 1950s that we have any sort of record on now keep in mind some of it could be lost
00:12:32.380 but over a hundred were killed in the last 10 years even if you say we lost half of the records of black
00:12:40.440 people who were killed due to racial violence during this period it wouldn't even get you close to the
00:12:44.120 number who died in the past 10 years like if if you look at the the raise in comparable black wages
00:12:50.700 and i'll put a graph on screen here it has not risen when contrasted with other groups so they they in
00:12:56.120 many ways are doing if you look at out of marriage childbirth blacks conceived children outside of wedlock
00:13:03.340 and and were single parents at half the rates whites were if you go back to the 1950s i'm just looking
00:13:08.200 at rates of marriage too out i think black american families outpaced white families and rates of
00:13:15.940 marriage too yes the incarcerate differences between blacks and white americans in 1950 was lower than
00:13:20.920 modern rates so and this was yeah 1950s an era in the united states where discrimination was racist
00:13:27.280 yeah systematized yeah the incarceration rates in the 1950s were 5x higher than white rates so to say
00:13:33.360 it's significantly higher today is saying quite a lot yeah um specifically it was 5x the rate of
00:13:39.640 whites in the 1950s and it's 7x the rate of whites today so it's not even like when people are like well
00:13:44.980 you want to go back to the 1950s because you are white i'm like i think you might be buying into myths
00:13:50.920 about what happened to black culture post that period it's not that there was not any way that it
00:13:55.640 wasn't worse there were many ways in that it was worse to be a black american during that period
00:13:59.200 than modern day however i'd go so far as to see i think when a lot of blacks see what happened to
00:14:07.920 their communities with all of the terrible stuff that happened to blacks during those periods a lot
00:14:12.800 of them would be like yeah but the tight-knit healthy black family and community was not necessarily
00:14:19.120 something that i am comfortable trading for all of the advances that we have made on other social terms
00:14:24.820 the emphasis on some of the horrible things that happened as a product of racism there are some
00:14:29.980 elements of that that are kind of swept under the rug like the tulsa riots a lot of that came from
00:14:36.640 resentment of a surrounding white community over a really like an affluent successful black community
00:14:44.060 they know that's not what it was caused by really so well it's hard to know exactly what happened
00:14:49.920 because of history what everyone agrees on what both sides agree on is a black man did something to
00:14:56.840 a white girl elevator operator that made her scream and terrified her and left her mortified now what
00:15:04.880 that was both sides will say different things one will be like well he tripped the moment he entered the
00:15:10.780 elevator and accidentally grabbed her as he was falling which seems awfully convenient that that to me
00:15:16.380 sounds like a story somebody would make up but that is apparently the steel man of the other side
00:15:20.720 and then things escalated when a bunch of our war veteran black people came to the courthouse and stood
00:15:28.540 outside with weapons during the trial which people saw as attempting to intimidate the court and that's
00:15:35.240 been that's been covered up it was much closer to what's going on with ice right now where you have
00:15:39.940 people attempting to hide people who actually are guilty of breaking a crime just sort of reflexively
00:15:45.340 and in part of that was because of the health of the community at the time right that they felt that
00:15:50.400 they could get away with this interesting you don't think that there was also not some pent-up
00:15:57.360 resentment from the surrounding community which was less affluent when it came to
00:16:02.960 the relatively more affluent black community in Tulsa at the time because they were doing really well
00:16:10.180 they had the nice houses they had the good businesses they they had a great community going
00:16:13.940 i mean i i think that you can get into a community as we've talked about ethnic cartels in the past
00:16:20.560 where you get you know in trading and everything like that and that was actually big was in black
00:16:24.500 communities of that period i mean that's what kwanzaa was about a part of it is only buy from black
00:16:28.260 businesses right like um today we would have the same problem black communities operated today
00:16:33.780 the way that they operated historically we'd be complaining about them the way we're complaining about
00:16:37.720 indian communities today right like they they are hugely nepotistic in their hiring practices and
00:16:43.700 take over companies and and and hire their own group over other groups and stuff like that right like
00:16:48.020 that's not the complaints we have about i think the black culture today if it could go back to that
00:16:52.540 complaint would be a lot happier but but the point i'm making here more broadly is a lot of people when
00:17:00.300 people on the right say there were things about american culture in the 1950s that were better for
00:17:06.920 everyone along some metrics and we do need to reflect and look back at that they they are horrified to
00:17:14.500 consider this because then they might need to pull back some of the ways they've handled things like
00:17:19.840 sexuality the things they've handled self-identity the things they've handled self-affirmation even the
00:17:24.740 ways they've handled cultural integration right like i point out in other episodes one of the
00:17:29.800 reasons why you could have better inter-ethnic harmony historically speaking right was because
00:17:38.440 you had degrees of racism and and prejudice and when you had prejudice what that meant is that
00:17:47.780 communities had a reason to internally police themselves yeah um except when they felt that they
00:17:53.280 were hugely more powerful than surrounding communities as you might have had in like the tulsa riots or
00:17:57.820 something like that which is generally intra-communally you punish somebody who is acting in an inappropriate
00:18:04.360 way and you do this because you don't want prejudice to form against your community right you do not want
00:18:13.460 the wider community you do not want a mob to attack your community or something like that and you see this
00:18:18.240 within irish immigrant communities you see this within italian a huge part of what the mob and the mafia
00:18:22.780 did was intra-community policing to try to lower the amount of negative stereotypes that were being
00:18:30.380 built about these communities as lawless etc right and you can go in our episodes where we where we go
00:18:36.720 over this i think it's the indian episode where we go deep into this concept with indians going extinct
00:18:42.200 due to low fertility rates oh yes yes yes yes but anyway to to to go further here what does she then say
00:18:49.760 so the wider point i'm making here is this isn't necessarily a bad thing and i agree with it and i think
00:18:53.680 it's and i can see why a leftist wouldn't be able to admit it or engage with it with any degree of
00:18:59.040 intellectual maturity okay so how does she define populism right she describes populism is a popular movement
00:19:08.840 a movement of the people and she contrasts that with the neoliberalism of an individual like biden
00:19:17.440 and i'm actually really surprised by this because i'm surprised that she's willing to note this
00:19:24.800 so blatantly and openly that one of the things that what magaism does or the thing that scares her
00:19:32.720 about magaism is that it appeals to popular sentiment and if you want to understand just how much she does
00:19:39.820 not like or care about popular sentiment in another video she goes on about how you only need 3.5 percent
00:19:47.940 of the population to enact a regime change but the reality is you only need 3.5 percent
00:19:54.960 what is 3.5 percent of the united states it would be about 11 million people change in societies is
00:20:03.220 absolutely possible and it happens all the time but it requires a we not an i it's possible don't give
00:20:10.920 up she wants the will of the minority to dominate public opinion right and and internally she doesn't
00:20:22.520 feel any cognitive dissonance when she thinks this because she does as you know many leftists do
00:20:28.300 sees the average american and we'll get more into her views because i think there was an instance
00:20:33.820 where she talks about when she felt unsafe actually i'll just get into it right now she sees the average
00:20:38.940 american is dangerous and lesser and something that she shouldn't even need to like consider the
00:20:45.620 desires the state of the whims of she never in any of her videos seems to care about rural people
00:20:53.680 she never cares about people from any population that's not her own she is only able to see them
00:20:59.480 as a threat and dehumanizing so a great example of this is she was going to go to a trans like
00:21:06.160 wedding like pre-wedding party or something like that like a wedding shower i think at a park
00:21:10.200 okay right okay charlie kirk's assassination happens and a right-wing group decides to organize
00:21:18.380 a charlie kirk memorial okay at the same park okay at around the same time inconvenient
00:21:25.140 well hold on she then and and this is the video where she is crying she is mortified she is scared
00:21:35.280 to death in this instance right so she does a video and this is from her own perspective okay
00:21:42.060 she calls the charlie kirk organizers and explains this scenario okay what do the people do they go
00:21:51.980 oh fine we'll we'll change the time that we're doing the event they they just change the time they
00:21:57.360 change it to later in the day to 8 p.m which is late too right like they're being very kind about
00:22:03.060 this she and her friends then go to this event and of course some people show up early how does she
00:22:11.520 describe them she describes them as wearing maga hats and white males and some of them are muscular
00:22:18.540 now none of them harass her group none of them talk to her group none of them engage with her group
00:22:26.020 okay what does her group do well her partner who she sees as very a very brave woman a very
00:22:33.580 non-passing woman as she puts it i guess it's a butch lesbian or something like that goes up
00:22:39.160 and starts harassing the charlie kirk memorial people oh now she notes that they don't do
00:22:47.300 anything to her they don't attack her friend they don't get in some heated argument or anything
00:22:52.720 i think they just try to defuse it they're over there at a memorial because somebody died
00:22:57.480 yeah okay and her and her side sees white males and this is all they can think is that these people
00:23:07.520 must want to eradicate me must want to be actively antagonistic to me the couple got wind that charlie
00:23:16.900 kirk supporters were going to had decided to schedule a vigil for charlie kirk move it back and they did
00:23:26.160 they moved it back to 8 p.m but we're at this event right and um we're having a good time it's really
00:23:32.360 cute it's fun we're playing games but maga folks start showing up not a lot but big burly white men
00:23:41.160 my girlfriend who's one of the bravest people i know um and very visibly queer uh would approach
00:23:48.920 these folks and be like hey this is a private event your event has been scheduled for later tonight
00:23:54.800 and thankfully nothing happened but i and my girlfriend and other people were on high alert
00:24:03.480 the entire time and i think that this does a broader job of understanding why she fled america
00:24:09.280 because if you are i can understand why some people if you're a jew in america right now and
00:24:13.740 you're like i don't feel safe anymore i get that yeah um except where do you go
00:24:19.000 aside i mean but even israel israel well oh that's constantly being bombed by people who hate jews
00:24:25.900 i i don't know about that we'll sort that out okay as soon as europe crashes and goes away which is
00:24:31.800 happening and as america becomes more right-leaning israel will handle israel's little problem okay
00:24:37.360 little problem look i just want to point out israel has held back less civilians died in gaza
00:24:44.360 than died in the recent iran government crackdown right of their own people and the leftists are
00:24:51.700 not talking about this because no jews no news they don't care they didn't care about
00:24:55.280 minorities they didn't care about it's fewer when it's water or something uncountable it's less or more
00:25:03.280 okay the point being is is they just they they understand that ultimately the iteration of the
00:25:09.680 jews that are going to survive is going to be much more aligned with the american right-wing ethos
00:25:14.120 they may not be the same as us but they're more aligned with us than they are with the
00:25:20.080 and here i'm talking about like orthodox jews and stuff like this now there's some groups of them that
00:25:24.240 are dangerous and parasitic that we've seen especially in in the united states welfare milking
00:25:29.080 stuff like that and we've got to handle stuff like this you know we've got to have the ability
00:25:32.400 to say like let's handle this i think most jewish americans will say the same thing you know you
00:25:35.500 look at somebody like nuts watching the takedown of of like the videoing of those communities and he's
00:25:40.500 like yeah we need to handle these communities right you know and he even had a family member die
00:25:44.780 in the attacks in in israel right but anyway point being there's groups that i can see being afraid in
00:25:51.060 the united states if i was an illegal immigrant in the united states even if i wasn't an illegal
00:25:54.560 immigrant even if i was like a regular immigrant and i was in a community that was being heavily
00:25:58.880 targeted by ice i could see myself being worried right oh a trans person in la no effing way you
00:26:07.980 are not at risk okay that is one of the safe spaces well i mean insofar as los angeles is a safe place
00:26:15.200 i mean you've got skid row you've got a big homeless problem you've got terrible traffic you've got
00:26:19.520 described herself as living in a college town i guess near la so she described herself as in a blue
00:26:25.400 spot in a sea of red if you're in a college town you're fine she basically showed herself as being
00:26:31.940 incapable of living in a country with white men that is what terrified her that is what kept
00:26:36.340 triggering her where otherwise she's very sane because we're gonna we're gonna go over more of
00:26:39.600 her stuff and you'll hear that she is a lucid person other than her intense bigotry and misogyny
00:26:46.440 and i'd say a misogyny that hurts her like you and i we don't like go to bed shivering about like the
00:26:52.040 leftists whatever right like i i don't cry about seeing a leftist or a trans person at a thing i
00:26:58.880 don't it might be like oh this is this is diabolical that they're like at a book reading or something
00:27:03.540 like that like what what is this about why are you dressed in a clearly sexualized display right like
00:27:08.560 let's see our episode about that but you and and we're going to be putting together episode lists
00:27:13.020 if you have any ideas about episode lists you want because people keep requesting us put together
00:27:16.080 better episode tags and i'll do it but i need to know all the types of episodes you guys want tagged
00:27:21.160 but anyway leftists leftists leftists yeah we don't we don't like and i don't know any right
00:27:27.940 person who does like they don't react in this visceral way we'll notice some seem to react a
00:27:33.040 little hyperbolically to minorities and jewish populations the ones who freak out more about that
00:27:38.880 but it's not in like this cryy way it's in this weird conspiracy theory way which i don't think is
00:27:44.480 healthy but it's at least vitalistic thoughts before i go further simone
00:27:48.140 hey i don't know i i find this all
00:27:53.300 even at this point hard to care about i'm just so
00:27:58.640 like i don't care about these populations because they're not going to they're they're
00:28:05.700 neutering themselves from an agency standpoint from a mattering standpoint and i understand that that's
00:28:12.340 probably incorrect given the political influence that this contingent still seems to have but
00:28:18.420 i guess i think along a longer time stick scale so i'm like why should i care just give it time
00:28:24.060 they're going to be gone but am i wrong they are eventually they they could do a lot of damage before
00:28:30.240 they're gone they will try to capture power when they realize they can't win elections anymore they
00:28:36.260 will put things in place no even look i'm gonna be honest the right would probably do this if we
00:28:42.360 were going to lose power forever as well right like if if the demographics were really that far
00:28:48.040 against us right with them as they realize that i mean this is what you see this this fighting to
00:28:53.220 not have any voter id at all and now they're lying they're saying that you need like your birth
00:28:57.260 certificate no it's a it's a driver's license okay like minorities have driver's license the only
00:29:04.120 reason you wouldn't want a driver's license and i thought really good takedown by the nick you know
00:29:08.040 the great reporter he goes and showed a ubs shirley yeah that had 10 oh yeah people registered to vote
00:29:15.700 at it and one of them was over 100 years old like clearly fake voters like this is happening right
00:29:20.300 and elon discovered a ton of them when he was going through the the roles like we know this is
00:29:25.220 happening now we're just not supposed to talk about it right and it's something that i think
00:29:29.460 that there's no other like no legitimate other reason unless you thought that like black people
00:29:35.420 were idiots that you would say that they can't like go to a dmb and get a driver's license right like
00:29:42.060 that's clearly not what this is about so why are they fighting for this because they know that
00:29:46.120 once we get the redistricting of 2030 it's gonna be very hard for them to win anymore but they're
00:29:51.280 gonna become more radical i mean as we've seen there have been i think it's what four
00:29:54.700 trans people have killed i think four x the number of people in the past two years that
00:30:01.180 ice has killed so if we are specifically here talking about the number of people each group
00:30:05.540 has shot or innocent people each group has shot in terms of trans shootings we have august
00:30:11.060 2025 minnianapolis in which two children were shot during a church service before the trans
00:30:17.740 individual killed themselves so that's three people then tumblr ridge british columbia you had
00:30:22.660 five students and one teacher so seven victims and then the perpetrator so eight so we're already at
00:30:28.660 11 and then pawtucket rhode island in 2026 you had his wife and well her let's get the gender correct
00:30:37.660 her wife and child and then himself so that's another three and if you're looking at ice in terms of
00:30:46.260 shootings at least you have the two that everyone's aware of and then maybe like five or six
00:30:54.660 more it's it's difficult to tell from the way that the data is collated here anyway like if we're
00:31:01.240 talking about like who's actually at risk and the trans community we'll have an episode on this
00:31:05.540 eventually because i've covered it in some other episodes i really want to break down the statistics
00:31:08.340 they do a good job of like capturing every trans person killed in the united states right because
00:31:13.260 they want to do like trans remembrance day if you contrast that with the list of the percent of
00:31:19.020 trans people in the united states what you will see is trans people are like i think the actually
00:31:24.040 least at threat demographic in all of america their odds of being killed aggressively is insanely low
00:31:32.760 and then when you consider that the vast majority of 70 of trans people who are killed are black
00:31:37.480 right you can say okay if we take the black trans population out which is the minority of the
00:31:41.720 community anyway how likely are you to be killed if you are a white trans person if you want to get
00:31:46.140 the exact numbers here according to the advocates for trans equality the 2025 remembrance report there
00:31:52.420 were 27 violence trans deaths in the year of 2025 and this was also backed up by the human rights
00:31:58.560 campaign the hrc now if you contrast that with the number of trans people in the united states
00:32:03.420 that means that they have a 76 percent lower homicide rate than the general population now if you
00:32:08.860 remove the 63 percent that that were black that that happened to that leaves only 10 white transgender
00:32:14.720 people who were killed violently in 2025 and that puts them at 70 percent lower than even the white
00:32:22.140 specific homicide rate it's like literally you're living in the matrix where you can like bend around
00:32:27.800 bullets you are so unlikely to be killed and there's actually a mystery around that i want to dig into
00:32:32.840 why that is but it's just demonstrably true if you look at these records right and they'll go on
00:32:37.960 reaches when they're trying to decide who counts as trans for these records as anyone knows right so
00:32:43.200 like the fact that even with these reaches they still appear to be so low at risk and yet such a
00:32:51.460 risk to other people again if you look at the trans population and their rate of mass shooting versus
00:32:56.540 other populations i'll put the statistics here it's just insane but if you just look at the rate of
00:33:02.580 trans mass shooters you get per million 1.759 mass shooters 1.79 if you look at cis women it's 0.024
00:33:13.420 if you look at cis males it's 0.27 so the rate that a trans person becomes a mass shooter is literally
00:33:21.160 700 the rate that a man becomes a mass shooter no these stats are from an episode we did before the two
00:33:27.720 recent trans mass shooting events and i always wonder like during that episode when people are like no this
00:33:32.040 isn't true or this is a historic blip and then there are multiple additional trans mass shooting
00:33:36.220 incidents after after we report this do they think do they like go back and be like oh maybe i was wrong
00:33:41.720 or are they just blind when this stuff happens i don't understand because when most of the quote
00:33:47.460 unquote papers came out debunking that trans people made up a disproportionate amount of mass shooters
00:33:52.620 when contrasted with their percent of the population most of those came out before the most recent
00:33:57.020 trans mass shootings so do they update based on that or are they just like no this is fact now
00:34:02.720 she goes what we need is a narrative of who we are together who we are as a nation and it doesn't have
00:34:08.500 to be a bad narrative it can be a big expansive wonderful one but it's not happening right now
00:34:12.920 there's no narrative of unity there's just a narrative of white christian nationalism on the right
00:34:17.560 but that narrative is flexible enough to create a big tent that is why racial minorities can still find
00:34:24.000 themselves supporting this because they still are able to see that they are being part of the
00:34:29.520 hierarchy that is being defended and i think that that's that's something i don't see for many people
00:34:34.440 on the left the noting the truth which is that racial minorities like the majority of hispanic men
00:34:43.480 voted for trump right like the right is winning and winning increasingly with racial minority groups
00:34:50.820 and part of the reason is it's because the left well i think she's wrong about this because she
00:34:58.020 says that the the right is around this idea of white christian nationalism which is just functionally
00:35:05.380 not true if you look at the major factions of the right today whether it's the tech right
00:35:09.020 or the jewish right or the you know the there is a a christian nationalist part of the right there is
00:35:16.280 an ethno part of the right there is a like just a based part of the right that's into like what does
00:35:21.920 the science actually say about things there's a part of the right that's you know concerned about
00:35:26.280 their cultures being infringed on by kids there's a mormon part of the right which is like a totally
00:35:30.040 different its own thing and what we point out is what the right really is is is the left is incredibly
00:35:34.860 monolithic it is about promoting the culture of the urban monoculture and the right is everybody who
00:35:39.500 wants to maintain cultural autonomy in the face of the urban monoculture whether they are amish or
00:35:44.360 orthodox jews or weirdos like elon or us or mormons or you know you you see this across the right
00:35:51.780 there's this very wide diversity which is why people like us who would otherwise be considered
00:35:56.460 so weird can find a place so healthily within the modern right movement without being attacked
00:36:02.420 and i think a lot of them find that that's that's what unites them and that's where i think a lot of
00:36:07.240 the nationalism that the left sometimes called fascism comes from someone who listens to this podcast
00:36:13.320 pointed out that the rights version of the the we'll say colonizers flag the progress pride flag
00:36:19.860 is the american flag the american flag is the progress pride flag of the right and this person
00:36:26.600 even shared this amazing clip which i'd never seen before of former prime minister of germany angela
00:36:32.420 merkel being handed a german flag and like putting it back down and like giving this like sneering
00:36:39.580 shaky head look like no i'm not gonna wave a flag i'm not gonna wave a german flag you know she
00:36:46.100 wouldn't do that if she was given a progress pride flag it's just it's it's interesting but i think it's
00:36:52.080 it's a lot of it comes down to what it is you're choosing to fight for and we all know that america
00:36:59.620 was founded on this promise of well it was founded on christian values not a christian state
00:37:05.720 but christian values and well protestant values i do not like the people it was it was founded
00:37:11.280 specifically to canada allowing catholics to vote right like so protestant values and
00:37:17.920 the ability to practice religion freely that was crucial um and that was that's what that's what
00:37:26.540 united americans was this freedom to do it whereas what's really interesting about
00:37:30.800 progressivism as we know it today is it's really no here's this specific ideological subset it's
00:37:38.420 very caliphate based like we will not stop until everyone holds this one cultural set of values this
00:37:45.340 one religion which we will then impose on everyone and this determines how you live your life privately
00:37:50.680 not just how we we run the country but what i want to highlight here is is is let's look at
00:37:55.640 the final thing that she talks about here nationalism right like loving your country
00:37:59.180 right nationalism should not be a problem for anyone like nationalism is just like a net good
00:38:04.160 for society well it is i mean you you won't see you won't see a leftist wave the american flag the
00:38:09.080 american flag is is now conservative coded which is insane well and it's not just the american flag
00:38:14.480 it's any flag but this is in part oh no yeah look at the uk where like the union jack is like whoa
00:38:19.800 watch out because they do they it is an occupation right like the only time you ever see people afraid
00:38:26.340 or being banned from raising their own flag is when you're occupied by a foreign power and the reason
00:38:32.760 why they are afraid of this is they represent this foreign power that is represented by the colonizers
00:38:38.120 flag the progress pride flag and that is why she's afraid of this but i'm trying to understand like
00:38:43.080 why she why she can't see this so she looks at because she says a bunch of things that are true
00:38:48.460 and then says and the the right is white christian nationalists which they just aren't that's a that's
00:38:53.760 a very small small faction of the right not really particularly well represented in the white house
00:38:59.280 or in any position of power that i've seen so which is overwhelmingly gay there was a funny new
00:39:03.860 york times article where like they there were conservative women who were like oh now we're
00:39:07.060 getting the trump white house in everyone i'm gonna be able to hook my my girls up with some
00:39:11.000 good guys and she goes and then they were all gay because they don't understand the article was
00:39:15.340 titled something like in the new york times trump's big gay white house something like that yeah and
00:39:19.920 it's true you know we don't like i i go to a white house meeting and it's like there's a lot of gay
00:39:24.240 people in the in the trump white house but the point being okay is why can't they see this so i'm
00:39:30.480 trying to see how she strings together a bunch of true things that i agree with most people on the
00:39:35.880 right are nationalistic right i think very few people in the right do not want america to do well
00:39:41.340 they are nationalistic because they are okay you know even if they're a jew in america they
00:39:45.760 understand for example not all do some are like actual israel first but many understand they want
00:39:51.960 to be in it and the ones who are actually israel first are being kicked out of the right coalition
00:39:55.840 as we're seeing as we're seeing was like ben shapiro being like no get to the curb like he's lost a lot
00:40:00.540 of his cachet because he was taking an israel first position and the other ones who are like i understand
00:40:06.180 as a minority within america i can be proud of what america represents and i can work for my
00:40:12.580 community by trying to remove things like the weird alphabet soup stuff from school curriculum the
00:40:17.740 brainwashing from that both of us can agree we don't want our kids doing that and support an american
00:40:21.700 first ideology while being a subgroup within america and i think america culturally uniquely allows for
00:40:26.680 that and a lot of people like in the uk right like aria babus who's very on the right and is indian
00:40:31.940 she's able to promote a britain first ideology in her writings despite being indian right like
00:40:39.980 she's able to be like hey we do need to go back to what britain used to mean because that was clearly
00:40:46.560 better than whatever it means under the colonizer's boot right but she sees this and and so i agree with
00:40:54.240 that i agree with populism yeah we should do what the people want right like why why is that so scary
00:40:58.560 to leftist unless they hate the people we should have this rebirth myth if things in the past were
00:41:03.900 doing better was in many metrics and and she's able to string these together to then and this is where
00:41:10.600 the shell game happens with her to white christian nationalism because in her mind america historically
00:41:17.540 was a white christian nationalist country when the reality is significantly more complex than that
00:41:26.120 and what we are going back to is closer to what america was historically read albion seed which was
00:41:30.760 an extremely diverse group of protestants largely speaking and and that's what we haven't been able
00:41:37.520 to go back to while i would like to go back to that a very diverse group of people who want to preserve
00:41:43.300 their cultural autonomy working together to make the country wealthy and successful and being aware
00:41:49.900 that that means you might need to keep out specific other groups that don't work well together
00:41:55.120 with this diverse cultural alliance you know you can have a diverse cultural alliance that can still
00:42:00.600 be like well when people come from this one group they do not add to our economy right like they are
00:42:08.300 statistically a net negative to our society and therefore which they said in the colonial period that
00:42:14.980 was very well understood in the colonial period that was very well understood in early america you know
00:42:19.320 you don't just let any parts of it group in right like you you've got it you've got to be aware that
00:42:24.780 some groups are going to make things worse for everyone and and and that doesn't mean that these groups can't
00:42:30.240 stay in their own countries to give you an example and this is just among the same ancestral group
00:42:36.900 puritans didn't like like colonial puritans did not like the idea of families bringing over servants
00:42:44.480 because they they weren't you know self-sufficient enough it was it was looked down upon like what
00:42:51.140 are you doing bringing in this less productive person or something you know like less educated
00:42:54.940 less driven and they also understood keep and this is i think one of the things that has has damaged
00:43:01.200 america the most the idea of cultural tribalism if you move to a backwoods region or you move to a
00:43:06.540 puritan region or you move to a quaker region or you move to a cavalier region you understood that you
00:43:10.880 were a guest living in a separate dominant cultural region and those regions didn't have the need to
00:43:15.800 integrate with each other outside of in congress when they would get in fights anyway you know yeah
00:43:21.800 the days it's funny how each group kind of had its own way of kind of insisting on only the strongest
00:43:31.080 like the the the process of indent practicing indentured servitude in the more southern colonies where
00:43:39.240 basically just most would die anyway it was it was seven in ten was in some periods yeah either like
00:43:47.800 you're not welcome at all or like yeah sure you're welcome if you can survive as i continually try to
00:43:53.020 kill you because i don't want to pay you the land that i'm gonna have to owe you if you survive yeah
00:43:58.040 yeah good you only have to pay if they survive not not a good system no yeah but the point being yeah
00:44:04.900 the puritans were just like extremely strict about who could come in and then the
00:44:08.080 backwards people just killed whoever oh yeah the backwards it's like again you you can stay if
00:44:13.960 you can survive we're having a great time here but they didn't they didn't bring in many indentures
00:44:19.320 it's like the hunger games arena existed but it was just like people who opted into it it was the pvp
00:44:25.180 yes it was very much the pvp server it was america way we should do more stuff on this because i
00:44:32.340 actually want to go more into the culture of of where they came from and this great erasure of them
00:44:36.720 from american history where a lot of americans today who think that they're irish are not irish
00:44:40.600 they're scots irish which i've described as a bit like you hear oh my ancestors were cobra eating
00:44:49.060 mongoose therefore i am a cobra and it's like no they were cobra eating mongoose the scots irish were
00:44:57.240 specifically a group that constantly was at war with the irish and hated the irish they were not the
00:45:03.240 irish but over time by the way if you're wondering and you if your family says that you are irish
00:45:09.420 okay and they were presbyterians or protestants or were from it like anywhere in the south or west
00:45:19.900 virginia or really anywhere but new england they were probably not irish they were scots irish
00:45:25.200 irish populations really only settled in large numbers in historic now if you look at graphs of like
00:45:31.420 people who identify as irish you will see them in the south and in the greater appalachian region
00:45:36.060 and in texas but they didn't really migrate to those regions those are people misremembering
00:45:40.760 they some uneducated person heard from their parents that they were scots irish they didn't
00:45:45.420 know what that meant they knew the word irish they heard about all these irish immigrants and so they
00:45:48.800 assumed they were irish but culturally they could not be more distinct and that's yeah that should be
00:45:55.580 one of the things that we have episodes on any final thoughts simone i feel like we're gonna have
00:46:03.660 to throw out the word fascism because it doesn't mean anything anymore every time we talk about it
00:46:08.080 the definition is slightly different i'm giving up on it declaring bankruptcy on the word well i mean i'm
00:46:14.120 not saying that her definition is good but i am saying i'm trying to understand how the left could
00:46:18.620 conceivably see trump as anything like fascist and i agree with these three similarities
00:46:26.080 nationalist national rebirth and populist the problem is is all those three things are broadly
00:46:33.600 good things to any sane person so they're they're good things when the population represents things that
00:46:42.780 you care about they're good things when the rebirth is a change that you want right and yeah and when
00:46:49.840 that you when you have pride for your in-group does the far left have pride for the in-group malcolm
00:46:55.440 no does the far left want significant change i mean i i just don't see i don't see it i i why
00:47:03.460 you're right all version by every definition of this yes of course we like it because we want change
00:47:11.240 we like america and we like americans and we like the what you know what america is but they they
00:47:17.600 don't there's a distinct lack of pride i mean and and this is something that's been around for a
00:47:22.800 very long time right i was educated in very progressive circles and you were the first person
00:47:28.120 i ever met who was like no actually america's great like i was just so used to yeah what did you
00:47:33.620 think when i told you that because i remember you were quite shocked and i was like let's go to
00:47:36.740 nice i didn't like growing up feeling ashamed of my country but my understanding was the only
00:47:43.460 thing to say or imply in polite discourse was shame in america like oh i'm you know of course america has
00:47:51.620 terrible education system and you know vis-a-vis other countries of course it does have a terrible
00:47:56.440 education system but every country does because it's legacy education not higher education not the
00:48:00.860 education that matters yeah but anyway like i'm ashamed of our like uniquely stupid education
00:48:06.900 system and our uniquely stupid students and we're so fat and we're so racist and we did so many bad
00:48:12.900 things and what a terrible country we are and like that was not very that was not very fun you know
00:48:17.940 it's not fun to be ashamed of your in-group and when you were like no actually when you look at brass
00:48:24.940 tacks our education system compared to those of other countries education systems are doing pretty
00:48:29.940 great and when you look at all these other measures america's really great and i'm like oh like
00:48:34.120 that makes sense when you look at a lot of other measures i think one of the reasons why it feels
00:48:39.100 uniquely bad to be ashamed of being an american aside from the fact that it sucks to be ashamed of
00:48:44.260 who you are is the fact that there's a lot of cognitive dissonance of that if like you feel ashamed but
00:48:49.120 like it's kind of weird that also america has such a dominant role in american geopolitics or in global
00:48:55.080 geopolitics and in technology innovation and economics and and technology like huh like america
00:49:02.280 is a big leader in all these things but it's the worst but then how is it the big leader oh i don't
00:49:06.360 know like systemic racism global something and colonialism even though america wasn't a colonial
00:49:11.280 power yeah yeah like america's on the top because of colonialism and i'm like where are all of america's
00:49:16.620 colonial holdings they're like the philippines i'm like oh yeah we really made a lot of money off of
00:49:21.280 the philippines it's weird puerto rico that's been a cat that's been a cash machine for america
00:49:29.480 puerto rico yeah or they'll be like well slaves built america and i go actually the regions in
00:49:36.300 america with slavery were hugely economically held back and were significantly less economically developed
00:49:41.240 than the regions that didn't have slavery and when slavery ended they economically grew a ton
00:49:46.120 yeah slavery was like you're literally arguing for slavery if you're saying slavery is an economic
00:49:52.840 system that is beneficial to a region right like um but it's not it's not if anything i'm gonna be
00:50:00.520 spicy here the slaves owe us reparations because they held back our economy for so long oh god well
00:50:07.320 they didn't choose to do it so that doesn't work yeah well i mean neither did the vast majority of white
00:50:12.940 people who didn't own slaves and were economically disadvantaged because of slaves like if you are a
00:50:19.160 90 of the population living in the south during industrial slavery you looked at the slaves the
00:50:26.020 way people today look at immigrants who get paid less for labor that they should be getting paid for
00:50:30.240 right like they they were being economically disadvantaged by this system
00:50:35.380 i mean that's one way of putting it i i know it's it's it's i think that we've had to and it was
00:50:47.240 a not uncommon sentiment among poor people in the south going into the civil war you know i've pointed
00:50:53.200 out that my ancestors who formed like the jayhawks in the free state of jones one of my ancestors
00:50:57.400 specifically coined the term it's it's a rich man's war and a poor man's fight right like they're like i
00:51:02.400 don't i don't i don't want to die in a war so you can get rich selling your cotton you know like
00:51:08.840 that's that's the way that that was a a system that disenfranchised ironically the the white people as
00:51:18.840 well you know so where are their reparations like when you begin to talk about all this it just gets
00:51:23.240 ridiculous you know and obviously i'm i'm being tongue-in-cheek when i'm saying this stuff it's a
00:51:28.600 joke okay but i'm just you know playing with facts and what we know about history and i do find that
00:51:34.620 i remember you on this day where i took you to drive-in movie and it was like the most americana
00:51:41.040 thing which is like a rural area and i don't think you've been to like a rural area before and everyone
00:51:46.060 had their american flags and everybody had tons of rural areas before just not something wholesome
00:51:50.860 and cute like that yeah well you'd been for progressive things like whitewater rafting and
00:51:56.180 stuff not for like whitewater rafting is not necessarily progressive but yeah anyway yeah i
00:52:01.560 hadn't been to a rural outdoor film viewing and it was really wholesome and i remember you were like
00:52:08.340 malcolm this is like shockingly holy this what like rural americans are like they're like a bunch
00:52:13.360 of kids running around playing and giggling and everybody's sitting outside their car like
00:52:18.440 barbecuing like and i don't notice any of the ethnic minorities look scared they seem to be
00:52:24.500 having a fun time too is this what america's always been about and i was like yeah it's pretty awesome
00:52:29.280 right yeah well and that's to put it into context i spent most of my time during weekdays and weekends
00:52:38.540 hanging out around oakland or san francisco where there's there are higher rates of crime there's lots
00:52:44.840 of homelessness and so that just you you don't let kids run around outside you can't because it's not
00:52:49.800 safe that's just tough yeah yeah you might have a tire fire with a bunch of homeless people but you
00:52:56.060 know which by the way cost 175 000 a year in california but you don't have people outside a barbecue cooking
00:53:02.380 up hot dogs and burgers yeah which is delightful anyway i love you simone i i i we should do another
00:53:11.760 episode i gotta remember to do this episode because i've been meaning to do it on the lot
00:53:16.720 what on the lie that america doesn't have a culture and it's just like stolen culture from
00:53:25.160 other places oh please everyone knows american culture is iconic you know that a culture is real
00:53:31.380 when there's a japanese stereotype of it or like a japanese caricature of it and that greaser
00:53:36.520 character so both gal which sort of became gyaru and then later whatever gyaru became was from
00:53:43.560 southern california girl stereotyping the the 50s greaser stereotype and japan is is based on you
00:53:51.860 know american culture stereotypes so you know american culture is real if there's a japanese stereotype of
00:53:57.980 it i completely refute that i don't know if there's enough there it's enough of an argument it's not
00:54:02.900 like america it's just made up of appropriation but it's not just that the argument that people
00:54:06.720 often use without realizing how racist this argument is is they'll be like well like burgers and hot dogs
00:54:12.820 are based on things that were originally invented in other countries therefore they're not part of
00:54:17.460 american culture and i was like if you start taking all the things that were invented in america and say
00:54:22.220 that they're not part of another culture but it gets ramen ramen was invented in america right
00:54:28.360 now nothing with ramen is japanese all of that we get to claim all of that oh what else was invented
00:54:35.440 in america spam how many ethnic cuisines are based around spam you've now pissed off the koreans
00:54:42.580 you've pissed off basically every eastern island country because all of their cultures have a main dish
00:54:48.820 based on spam you like the number of places that are now wait america gets to claim all of our spam
00:54:56.520 based dishes you know you don't get to do this right you got to be honest which is to say that
00:55:01.780 historically the culture that a food comes from i would never go to japan and have the gall to say
00:55:07.320 that because americans invented ramen and exported ramen to japan and gave it to you with war rations
00:55:13.520 and that's why it became popular that it's an american dish right like a japanese person would rightly be
00:55:19.260 like that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard and you as an american should be saying that when
00:55:24.820 people tell you stuff about you know american culture so anyway love you i love you too you
00:55:30.660 gorgeous creature you are fantastic and i'm proud to be an american half this woman's videos are just
00:55:37.920 her crying about not a happy feeling persecuted about feeling like they started like checking
00:55:43.960 like carry-on stuff for the flight and she thought this was i don't know trying to check if she had some
00:55:50.500 sort of like hormone shots or something for transness because they were going to arrest her
00:55:56.040 open seats just take that first available overhead bin space i don't know but she's like in the airport
00:56:01.780 panicking i mean it's like this is just like normal life stuff but it's this weird conspiratorial
00:56:06.840 mindset where everything's against you and it could be that that's kind of you know how like
00:56:11.200 young teenage women have this deep desire to be wanted to be desired to be pursued um and perhaps
00:56:20.500 one reason why the progressive far left mindset appeals to women and especially young women is
00:56:27.420 it's very easy to cross wires with a feeling of persecution and being desired right they're coming
00:56:34.620 for me versus they want me could be kind of like if you blur your eyes enough you can kind of feel
00:56:41.640 half the feeling or pretend that you're feeling the feeling well we've done other episodes where i
00:56:45.180 actually argue i argue something quite different from that i'd argue that women have an innate desire
00:56:50.360 to feel persecuted and when they do not feel an external threat to them they invent one oh yeah i want
00:56:56.200 to you know where we talk about how useful it was that youth and everyone else dealt with deep
00:57:02.880 hardship at some period in their lives and if they don't then they start craving dystopias
00:57:07.320 yeah yeah this is the episode that we did with some things like your ancestors lived in a dystopia
00:57:12.860 um which is to say that most female lives throughout history would have been dystopian by modern
00:57:17.860 understandings and yet they were happier for it females happiness has only gone down since the 1970s
00:57:23.400 and so the question is is why and i think it's because you you even see this within modern communities
00:57:28.040 where wealthier girls who live in the suburbs are much less happy than poorer girls who live in urban
00:57:34.580 centers and it's because they i think feel more rightly discriminated against and and when they
00:57:39.120 have a real threat to their lives women are just happier didn't they have a word for that affluenza
00:57:44.180 yeah well this woman is the craziest case of affluenza i've ever seen and everyone's like you know
00:57:49.680 you could have chosen not to move to vancouver literally the most expensive part of canada
00:57:53.460 oh i know it's supposed to be very pretty though it's it is very pretty i've been there i love it
00:57:58.480 great city great parks oh well at least the chinese have it now yeah right there's gonna be
00:58:06.520 a chinese outpost soon yeah i think we need to take canada i think trump is wrong on this greenland
00:58:12.820 thing if i was president we'll take alberta the rest of canada can we want alberta and saskatchewan
00:58:18.780 uh saskatchewan okay that's the two that we want let's do it alberta and saskatchewan i'm good on
00:58:25.880 that that's that's everything of value in canada leave them with the coast that china can can take
00:58:30.920 that and you know canada is disproportionately unaliving white people we should probably do an
00:58:35.460 episode on that oh in terms of made participants yeah they're mostly white yeah because in canada
00:58:41.880 territories can just vote themselves out of canada and if the united states was willing to take them and
00:58:46.900 we would that would be pretty good pretty cool well we'll see then i love you too so you got you
00:58:55.020 your early dinner yeah well actually now i have to handle a wire transfer for travel max and i'm sorry
00:59:01.320 you have to get mouth surgery which you're not at all excited about i live off of popcorn
00:59:05.860 how do i not eat food knives for 100 billion years aka two weeks
00:59:14.220 at least i'm not being tortured with a power drill
00:59:19.300 that's that's nice you gotta be thankful every day you're not tortured with a power drill
00:59:27.580 all right and when you do my curry tonight i'd add well it depends you know take an eye of what type
00:59:38.780 of curry you is and think think what it probably needs does it need sambal olek does it need hoisin sauce
00:59:44.560 those are the two easy ones you don't take an eye you take a whiff and you say you take a whiff
00:59:49.700 what does it need earthiness sambal olek is like do you need a little twang and glitter but then like
00:59:56.580 with hoisin sauce do you need a little like undercurrent you know yes you know you know what's
01:00:03.700 up all about it and all about i'm so glad we live in the the world of of multiple multicultural food
01:00:10.100 types right like god yeah so many fun options and tonight burning through that curry
01:00:16.400 it's unbelievable the yeah the selection of gourmet foods that await for you
01:00:25.160 in a deep freezer that i've frozen in chunks using those giant square ice cube trays your mom
01:00:33.760 yesterday you did for the first time reheating we got to tell our audience about this oh yeah
01:00:38.620 because we tried it and we wasn't sure it would reheat it well but look up recipes if you like
01:00:43.780 dumplings and you're just like but i can never cook dumplings because you know it takes so long
01:00:46.580 you've got to do the thing lasagna dumplings okay so they basically cook dumplings using the
01:00:52.680 lasagna like format so you can just lay the layers down and it is spectacular it's as good as any
01:00:58.700 dumpling i've ever had yeah you actually get a better proportion of in each bite to meat yeah then you
01:01:06.860 do even with dumplings because then you're not trying to like okay how do i cut this in thirds or yeah like
01:01:12.060 for small but no it's perfectly done one thing i'd suggest that if you do it is the chili oil
01:01:17.640 put that on as a topping at the end not as an ingredient when you're making it i think it works
01:01:22.920 much better that way yeah because some recipes call for it and specifically what we did because
01:01:27.900 most recipes i think call for it to be done in like a big tray like you know like a lasagna pan
01:01:35.480 what i did that but i also did ramekins small ramekins of it which is great because you can
01:01:42.580 pop however many ramekins you ramekins you want in a steamer basket um and then just steam it until
01:01:49.060 the internal temperature reads 160 or higher and you're done it's great and what i did was i just
01:01:55.440 froze after wrapping in plastic wrap not touching any of the food of course in our deep freezer and so i just
01:02:04.500 was able to take it out and put it in a steamer and there was no additional prep needed and i love
01:02:08.800 advanced meal prep it's so wonderful well it took you a long time to make those i know you put a lot
01:02:15.420 of effort in it was yeah i am sorry for the thousand yard stare i just want to go to sleep we're gonna go
01:02:26.480 to sleep soon all right let's do it wrap this up i'll wrap this up first okay i'll be quick with this
01:02:31.700 one okay hey so titan you wanted to tell me a story yeah tell me the story the story is about
01:02:42.900 one little girl like them and what is she gonna do she's gonna save the day and how does she do that
01:02:52.320 what's your superpower what's your superpower my superpower is water spot
01:03:03.400 freeze the free water spot freeze is just freeze bad guys you can spray them with frozen water
01:03:15.100 yeah yeah but then they will i couldn't i will brush the wet on my hand
01:03:24.300 that makes sense
01:03:27.260 can we do a video about it on your phone i'm taking a video right now the people are learning
