Based Camp - Support For Islam Goes Up After Terror Attacks (More Among Rep then Dems!？)

00:00:00.000 After the September 11th attacks, the most profound increase in sentiment by, like, at least double is the Republican increase.

00:00:09.940 Just as a reminder, Charlie Hebdo is a satirical publication, still is, that published a drawing of Mohammed.

00:00:15.340 And then they were subject to formal, proper Islamic terror attack.

00:00:20.900 What's fascinating in France is you also see this on the right.

00:00:25.180 And you see a big jump on the right.

00:00:26.700 Yeah.

00:00:27.420 That's wild.

00:00:28.920 would you like to know more hello malcolm i'm excited to be speaking with you today because

00:00:33.540 we are going to explore mysteries why did muslim sentiment in the usa improve after 9-11 why did

00:00:41.260 muslim sentiment in france improve after the charlie abdo offices were subject to a terror

00:00:46.340 attack why did pro-palestine sentiment spike after october 7th attacks on israel this is bizarre and

00:00:54.380 this is a very that is genuinely bizarre yeah the aggressors oh i'm so sorry for them i'll tell you

00:01:03.200 what i think israel wants white women to love them again they need no it actually just drop a few 0.84

00:01:09.240 bombs on manhattan and and they'll all they'll all love them again oh well yeah that that's all it 0.98

00:01:15.380 takes no i i'm actually going to lay forth it's not going to be jews i'm going to lay forth my

00:01:20.480 theory and i think it all comes down to a concept that was created to address unfair bias against

00:01:27.160 people who were genuinely screwed over by societal forces that were outside their control

00:01:32.140 and ultimately got ruined and co-opted by the women women white women yes join us for another 1.00

00:01:43.200 episode of women are terrible as we discuss how women appropriated and ruined the concept of 0.65

00:01:48.400 victim blaming and the graph you showed me around victim blaming absolutely floored me yeah yeah so

00:01:55.120 stick around no i i will show i will show you the graph we're gonna go over it just next but i will

00:01:59.100 say stick around because there there is a pivotal portion of my my argument i'm going to lay out

00:02:03.780 that involves very embarrassing images of protesting women so stay tuned friends okay

00:02:09.700 oh yeah all images of protesters are embarrassed no no no i no you're gonna you're gonna see i

00:02:15.560 I somehow missed the boat. I didn't know this thing happened. Oh God. Okay. So, but no, you're

00:02:21.380 right. Absolutely. There is this really strange trend that takes place with the term victim

00:02:28.300 blaming. And when we checked Google Ngram viewer, which looks at the word usage in publications

00:02:36.880 rather than just Google search trends, you can see that there's basically no usage of the term

00:02:43.340 victim blaming at all until the 1970s and then it starts to grow linearly modestly but in a modest

00:02:50.680 linear fashion so obviously this term was introduced and is slowly gaining popularity

00:02:55.400 then after 2010 its trajectory changes into exponential growth which only after 2020 started

00:03:04.940 showing signs of shifting to more logarithmic growth so it's a really weird graph but yeah so

00:03:12.760 here's the google ngram viewer so you can see it goes from nothing to linear to exponential to

00:03:20.740 logarithmic and something happened clearly in the 2010s where this term yeah just like it explodes

00:03:27.440 all of a sudden in the you acted like i should knew what that was what happened then we're gonna

00:03:33.500 go into it but we're also going to look at google trends and what you can see here is that before

00:03:38.260 2010, the way that victim blaming worked basically during that linear period was if there was a news

00:03:43.600 story that mentioned victim blaming, people would start talking about it a ton, but then it would

00:03:48.740 go back to nothing. And then after that point, it just started entering modern parlance. But first,

00:03:56.260 I also want to thank not Aldous Huxley for giving me inspiration for this episode. I actually didn't

00:04:00.660 believe him when he told me that there was a spike in pro-Muslim sentiment after 2001 when the

00:04:10.640 terrorist attacks took place. I was like, no, that's not real. So I also want to show you some

00:04:17.240 graphs because it's insane. Here is a graph showing, this is so unhinged, how after 9-11,

00:04:27.400 across the board pro-muslim sentiment grew this is this is flummoxing to me this is from the

00:04:34.760 research center as well yeah yeah what's up what's up with that and also the most profoundly

00:04:39.940 the most profound this is going to shock our audience yeah after the september 11th attacks

00:04:45.860 the most profound increase in sentiment by like at least double is the republican increase yeah and

00:04:54.860 hold on conservative republicans after 9-11 had a more positive sentiment towards muslims than

00:05:06.080 moderate republicans independent or conservative slash moderate democrats the only group that had

00:05:13.440 a higher sentiment towards muslims than conservative republicans were liberal democrats

00:05:18.740 Yeah. Note that this came from conservative Republicans before 9-11 having the lowest

00:05:26.300 opinion of Muslims. Yeah. At 35. Yeah. So it, it went from 35% favorable view to 64%. Yeah.

00:05:36.500 That is astonishing. It is really flummoxing and it's also really flummoxing with the 2015

00:05:45.200 charlie abdo terror attack just as a reminder charlie abdo is a satirical publication still is

00:05:50.780 they published a drawing of muhammad and then they were subject to you know whole like formal

00:05:56.840 proper islamic terror attack what's interesting about what's fascinating in france is you also

00:06:05.080 see this on the right and you see a big jump on the right yeah that's wild you went from a nine

00:06:10.740 percent very favorable on the right to an 18 percent a dub a doubling of positive favorability

00:06:17.760 on the right which is pretty much what you saw again with the the 9-11 attack oh yeah in in in

00:06:25.260 the united states after 9-11 it's actually almost a doubling 35 to 64 so then we get to october 7th

00:06:31.260 i remember i remember very clearly that day because i didn't really care about charlie

00:06:35.380 abdo i'm sorry but i didn't it was in france whatever i was busy at the time it was 2015 we

00:06:39.620 We were getting married.

00:06:42.040 Okay, we were so busy.

00:06:43.060 We were so excited.

00:06:44.240 And we were young children.

00:06:46.580 Then we had in 2011 or 2001, we were kids.

00:06:50.180 That wasn't, I don't know.

00:06:51.820 It didn't hit me the same way.

00:06:53.400 But I do remember October 7th, and I'm sure you do too.

00:06:58.160 And just seeing the stories coming in, seeing the photos, just how horrific it was to see

00:07:05.480 that coverage.

00:07:05.960 I was floored by people who would so euphorically do this. 0.97

00:07:10.960 And then, of course, you know, these recordings come in from Palestinians who are like calling their parents on WhatsApp, talking about how like I killed this many people and I did this and that. 0.89

00:07:20.240 And the parents being like, well, be safe, son.

00:07:22.960 And it was just so I've never.

00:07:26.940 I've never been so shocked by normalization of hatred and violence of a group of people.

00:07:32.560 And so I would have expected.

00:07:34.840 and killing you know peace protesters at like a peace rally yeah right outside you know just

00:07:41.900 graping tons of children like the this wasn't six guys this wasn't two guys right this was a very 0.73

00:07:47.700 organized coordinated attack of what was hundreds of men beheading babies right like it was absolutely

00:07:53.900 horrifying what happened yeah and they filmed it and showed it themselves because they were proud

00:07:59.700 of it and we can look and say oh that's a mistake that they did that but look it helped the world's

00:08:04.460 reception of them yeah because now let's look yeah so this is a gallup poll here i'm not pulling

00:08:08.640 out of nowhere right the share of americans who say they feel more sympathetic towards israelis

00:08:14.040 or palestines or sorry palestinians and so this goes all the way back to i think 2000 so it's like

00:08:20.420 israelis are in the high mid-50s palestinians not popular they are in like they're below 20

00:08:28.440 percent well i mean if you're aware of the actual history of the region you would have to be

00:08:32.780 absurd to feel sympathy for palestinians right then but then what happens i mean there's a slight

00:08:38.440 trending upward for palestinians on starting 2020 paired with a slight pairing downward

00:08:43.500 for israelis however what really happens is this sudden october 7th attack total switcheroo and

00:08:52.820 then it where lips yeah suddenly israelis are 36 favorability having been in the high 50s for

00:08:59.780 decades and palestinians are up to a record high of 41 nearly well more than double actually from

00:09:07.800 their like 18 starting point which they hover back to throughout the 2010s so what's interesting

00:09:14.880 here with with these particular results is that when you look at the age difference in responding

00:09:21.540 you see old americans do show a change in sentiment they they had the lowest sentiment

00:09:28.440 favorably toward palestinians like in 2002 they started out at like 15 favorability

00:09:35.720 yeah and they're very pro-israel i mean now we're in like the high 60s up to like the low

00:09:42.300 do you have a breakout of gender in favorability ratings oh let me check but also look at young

00:09:48.580 americans okay young americans when that is wild they literally flipped literally flipped

00:09:57.060 positions yeah but like crazy so now they young americans view palestinians favorably at 53 percent

00:10:04.580 and israelis 23 and it used to be 53 for israeli and 23 for palestine so a total flip and a very

00:10:13.680 very stark and violent one so they really but what's fascinating about this is this flip

00:10:20.460 clearly like if you look at the timeline was not motivated by israel's actions in palestine it was

00:10:25.920 motivated by the attack on israel yeah that's also what's just so sick you wanted me to check

00:10:32.460 gender right let me i'm checking the gallup article right now yeah let me see if this is 0.95

00:10:37.780 all women that's my my thesis if men are doing it because this is all women's fault but hold on

00:10:43.500 because it affects conservatives i mean i'll be honest my sentiment towards muslims more broadly

00:10:51.020 is not a negative sentiment like i have muslim friends i know muslims who are totally competent

00:10:58.080 whatever people however my sentiment towards like the type of muslim immigration that europe has

00:11:05.720 right now and that america has begun to open up is extremely negative that that it's it's clearly 0.99

00:11:13.640 just a net negative for our countries and our societies right like among almost any metric

00:11:19.860 whether you're looking at crime, or you're looking at, you know, state services, or you're

00:11:24.800 looking at cultural assimilation, we're just not seeing it at the same rate. And so I don't think

00:11:30.540 that, yeah, I don't think that it's something that we can continue to do. And when I say this,

00:11:38.300 I think one of the things that people forget is eventually, like the progressives who are here

00:11:44.180 now, right? Like, and I've talked about this all the time. It's my scorpion and the snake, right?

00:11:49.860 oh okay yeah they are able to prevent the two sides from going at it but the population of

00:11:59.140 americans that want to just get the unassimilated groups out of america they are the ones who have 0.93

00:12:06.820 kids and the members of these populations that don't assimilate like the many many muslim 0.91

00:12:13.880 immigrants do assimilate in the united states but they often are the ones that have zero kids 0.99

00:12:17.680 it's the ones who are the least assimilated and most hostile that typically have the most kids 0.99

00:12:23.180 this is just like an obvious thing if you're looking at the data and so eventually a few

00:12:27.860 generations from now and this is true in europe this is true in the united states a lot of these

00:12:31.780 countries are just going to like ask the question of like okay you know you have x many days to get

00:12:36.220 out and then we have to like do something because this is going to be on the table for both of these

00:12:42.920 groups in the future both of these groups are groups that are willing to be violent and right

00:12:46.520 now the panda's holding them apart but like one day that panda's not going to be there anymore

00:12:51.240 we could just look at the demographic data and this is why when i discuss and people will probably

00:12:58.640 notice this in a lot of my videos in a lot of my discussion of these types of topics i may sound

00:13:03.620 like somebody who is more open to violent solutions than other individuals and the reason why i sound

00:13:13.540 that way is because I try to keep my opinions and perspectives future oriented and evergreen

00:13:21.700 in terms of where the population is going, where public sentiment is going and sort of

00:13:27.720 things that are going to come to a T. And this isn't like that existential in the United

00:13:32.580 States, but there are European countries where I can very easily see, but within our lifetimes,

00:13:40.420 the problem being aired of okay now everyone who is unassimilated has to leave and that's going to

00:13:47.620 be that's not gonna that's gonna look bad like even just ice even just trump trying to like 0.94

00:13:53.640 when he was trying to just kick out the like murderers and grapists people freaked out right 0.90

00:14:00.700 because it doesn't look good you know dragging the grapist from their home or whatever right 1.00

00:14:05.160 And they're like, oh, look, look at how horrible this is. But whatever you saw there, you're going to see a thousand times worse than what's coming, you know, comes down the pipeline, right? And I don't, I deeply worry about the humanitarian consequences of not taking these issues seriously right now. But anyway, continue. 0.98

00:14:29.760 you so you're gonna find this amusing i didn't find men and women on the palestinian issue but

00:14:35.520 i they did include independence democrats and republicans so here are the republican sympathies

00:14:41.860 which is great basically the same they don't go they go up a little bit for palestinians and no

00:14:49.140 they just freaking hate palestinians they always have like there's no meaningful difference in in

00:14:54.260 how that the line bounces around and they're like okay with with israel here are the democrats and 0.92

00:14:59.060 this is what's interesting is they they started out really not being that favorable with really

00:15:03.440 israel or palestine but less favorable with palestine and then suddenly palestine yeah it

00:15:09.420 went from after and it started going up after the attacks on israel that's what gets me

00:15:14.300 truly these people i think i think this is my little theory that it has to do with victim

00:15:22.960 blaming and that victim blaming as this concept that has ruined like caused these insane dynamics

00:15:30.100 of like oh no this aggressor committed atrocities poor aggressor let's defend the aggressor 1.00

00:15:37.220 let them do terrible things to us actually comes from women appropriating victim blaming

00:15:42.860 no how could this happen where did society go wrong how could the system fail this poor man 0.58

00:15:55.280 if only he'd had a better school do you want some hot cocoa

00:16:02.220 huh the cause of injury seems to be socioeconomics most likely an underfunded library

00:16:10.000 That's it.

00:16:15.120 You shot this beautiful man for no reason. 1.00

00:16:20.100 She's evil incarnate. 0.98

00:16:22.100 He was stabbing. 1.00

00:16:24.780 Murderer. Murderer. 0.96

00:16:27.060 He was expressing himself.

00:16:30.060 Nothing.

00:16:30.500 So victim blaming. Let's go into it.

00:16:33.180 Hold on. Before we go into it, I want to cover another thing here,

00:16:36.680 which I think people are going to find queer. 0.56

00:16:38.660 and it is worth unpacking historically republicans had this effect just as democrats did where they

00:16:47.220 immediately started liking you know muslims more after 9-11 they started liking muslims more after

00:16:53.300 what happened in france but this time they did this time it didn't affect republicans and i

00:17:00.120 actually when i think through i can totally get why the reason it didn't affect republicans this

00:17:06.460 time is because the last crop of republicans the boomer republicans are not really like the

00:17:14.120 critical types they're not the types who are willing to like sit down and be like you know 0.71

00:17:18.800 we need to have a real conversation about like this this group is causing negative externalities

00:17:23.700 for our society and eventually we're gonna have to do something about it that's never been a

00:17:27.740 conversation that they were ever going to table or anything like that at the end of the day they

00:17:31.940 were in part republican just because they wanted to be respectable like that's what republicanism

00:17:37.220 it was a respectable old aristocratic party right like that's that's what it meant back in the day

00:17:42.820 and so the respectable thing to do is to oh you've been attacked by someone that could conceivably

00:17:51.160 increase it decrease sentiment for them so i'm going to increase my sentiment for them because

00:17:57.640 now they're in this position of of being a baby you know being potentially having having people

00:18:02.600 hate them and and i note here like with 9-11 or something like that it's not like when you're like

00:18:08.840 well you know they just happen to share some characteristics with them no like islamism was

00:18:14.680 why these people did what they did in every one of these cases in the attack on the newspaper it

00:18:21.820 was because of muslim beliefs that they did this attack right it was in the case of palestine that's

00:18:29.280 a bit different it's not as much about the religion but about like pan-muslim solidarity

00:18:32.900 against jewish people and i'm not talking about all muslims i'm talking about muslims in the

00:18:38.860 region they do genuinely dislike jews or they have sort of a i've talked about they don't even

00:18:42.980 really dislike them at the higher level it's more just like you can't be seen liking them because

00:18:47.960 that could get you in trouble you know you have sort of a status hierarchy on how much you can 0.91

00:18:51.320 mess with Israel so the the point I'm I'm thinking thinking through here is that the reason why this 0.62

00:18:59.760 didn't affect the right today but it did in the past is because the boomer right is no longer the 0.61

00:19:05.780 dominant of the right anymore and we weren't right it's back that you know we the type of people who

00:19:11.380 were like done with this bs we weren't there yet and then we come in and the moment we're we're 0.99

00:19:17.760 we're just like oh yep you know f up iran they're saying they're talking shit you know you you show 0.97

00:19:23.900 them before right like and we've seen this across this and i've talked about this cultural shift in 0.99

00:19:28.700 the right but i think we needed this cultural shift to protect ourselves against these kinds

00:19:35.460 of psychological maladies i think is all you can really call it that the old right was subject to

00:19:41.900 that didn't want to say the naughty thing and this is where simone keeps getting you know trying to

00:19:47.240 be like oh you know couch more don't be so offensive with your title cards in this no like 1.00

00:19:51.720 we need to crack that seal right like culturally societally that this oh you can't say this oh you

00:20:00.840 can't say that that doesn't work anymore right like i i think the video that does a very good

00:20:07.540 job of this is the video about powder what do you think i said sorry i meant call me a racist 0.71

00:20:14.040 fascist nationalist grifter bootlecking theocrat literally hitler 1.00

00:20:19.480 colonizer nazi incel bigot white supremacist privileged idiot snowflake pick me toxic 1.00

00:20:28.040 homophobes hood troll sexist deplorable xenophobe shill dog whistling transphobe simp stand 1.00

00:20:35.240 are all like neocon tyrant yeah and but we own these titles now not because you know they are 1.00

00:20:48.860 accurate representations of us but because we just don't care you want to say i'm islamophobic

00:20:56.620 for saying that like disproportionately x group is doing y or this was motivated in part by their

00:21:02.180 religion or that there's going to be long-term conflict between various groups you know you can

00:21:07.500 f off because i don't i don't care that you are attempting to and nobody cares anymore right like

00:21:13.940 there's still these old guards that want to like how could you say something so offensive but most

00:21:21.060 of us and most of those old guard aren't having kids like they're just they're the group that's 0.99

00:21:24.600 dying out like we're done with them we're done with this bullshit okay but do you actually do 0.96

00:21:31.680 have thoughts on that do you agree with my assessment that why conservatives weren't affected 0.99

00:21:35.500 by this this time around specifically because the conservative party is a different group today

00:21:40.480 yeah yeah i do think that that plays a huge role in it and you'll see more when i explain more

00:21:45.640 what happened with victim blaming and how actually it's it's kind of related to

00:21:51.180 how the new right became the new right as well because it formed in the 2010s it started to the

00:21:58.140 breakaway began in the 2010s so anyway you'll see at least i think so let's see just confirming a

00:22:03.300 date here yeah definitely okay so victim blaming as a concept exists in resistance to genuine

00:22:16.540 victim blaming being something that's very very old that there are for example tons of religious

00:22:20.800 texts that frame victims of bad things as sinners who deserved those things as punishment you know

00:22:27.160 people are like oh well you broke your leg because you're a bad person like your house was flooded

00:22:32.420 because you're a bad person because god hates you and that was just a really common thing so before

00:22:37.520 the term victim blaming was popularized people would sometimes point to the just world hypothesis

00:22:43.420 which is basically that people want to believe that the world's fair so then they will just

00:22:48.900 assume that victims have done something wrong to deserve the suffering like oh well the world's not

00:22:54.880 terrible. God isn't bad because you had that coming for some reason. I can understand the

00:23:03.000 psychological dynamic at play. But in 1975, there was this psychologist named William Ryan who

00:23:10.940 introduced this book called Blaming the Victim that was about blaming the victim. This concept

00:23:17.720 existed for him to critique explanations of poverty and racism that shifted responsibility

00:23:22.960 from unjust social structures onto marginalized communities and specifically he was responding to

00:23:31.160 patrick moynihan's 1965 report on black poverty which argued that sort of like he moynihan broadly

00:23:39.940 blamed black families for structural inequalities like it was their fault whereas even you and i

00:23:46.080 have talked about how in the 1950s black families were twice as stable as their white counterparts

00:23:51.320 and that there were actually a lot of things that were done to kind of screw over American

00:23:57.400 Black populations. Well, they were done by the progressive party, right? Like, it's not just

00:24:02.820 that like Dems did them, but the biggest damage that was done to the Black family unit was the 0.73

00:24:08.220 normalization of the, well, American Black identity, right? Like they no longer saw themselves 0.52

00:24:15.160 as predominantly, you know, a conservative Christian group, which is generally good for

00:24:19.900 like family formation and everything like that and was what blacks historically thought of

00:24:23.320 themselves as but this other thing that existed in a way in opposition to societal mores yeah and

00:24:32.360 this well this wasn't really this was something that was largely and socialists get involved in

00:24:36.920 this timeline like i can't even remember it all because it's so insane but like it involves

00:24:40.900 socialists and abortion activists and all these sort of terrible things and a lot of these were

00:24:45.600 just white people doing really terrible things to black people in america and so i i am totally on 0.73

00:24:51.960 the very progressive sounding argument of yeah actually there was there were many systemic 0.96

00:24:56.380 issues that screwed over black americans especially between well certainly slavery so

00:25:01.560 never mind like no but i think i think what we pointed out here is blacks were in a better

00:25:08.340 relative position in terms of like right after slavery yeah it's not like they're still recovering

00:25:15.280 from slavery yeah it's it wasn't actually the slavery it was these weird progressive policies

00:25:20.360 and all these other things that like totally screwed them over so yeah it weirdly it's not

00:25:24.840 systemic racism as progressives think it was where they blame concern like it's their version of it

00:25:33.480 think about the thing that the smithsonian released about white culture right and they

00:25:38.680 were talking about like you've got a you know and it said that white culture look look up the

00:25:43.960 smithsonian thing about white culture oh my gosh i forgot yes it was some report on how bad it was

00:25:49.960 and it was it was it was listing all of the things that they the progressives it's like hard work

00:25:56.060 being on time yes yes we need to stop making these things normalized because they're white

00:26:01.780 concepts and we shouldn't be imposing our white culture of being on time so if you don't remember

00:26:08.200 when this happened let's just go over what the smithsonian america's number one museum officially

00:26:14.340 said was white culture they said rugged individualism self-reliance independence and

00:26:21.920 autonomy are highly valued and rewarded individuals assume control over their environment you get what

00:26:27.460 you deserve family structure nuclear family husband is the breadwinner of the household

00:26:31.880 wife is the homemaker and subordinate to the husband emphasis on the scientific method 1.00

00:26:36.280 objective rational linear thinking because non-white people are incapable of that apparently 0.99

00:26:42.140 causes affect relationships quantitative emphasis protestant work ethic at least they recognize 0.79

00:26:50.260 that only protestants have a worth ethic hard work is the key to success work before you play

00:26:56.520 if you didn't meet your goals you didn't work hard enough that all sounds like reasonable

00:27:00.920 things to teach a child to me religion christianity is the norm status power and authority your job

00:27:07.880 is who you are respect authority i guess they're like don't respect authority heavy value on

00:27:12.800 ownership and goods okay future orientation plan for the future delayed gratification

00:27:18.280 aesthetics woman's beauty is being thin man's attractiveness is based on economic power status

00:27:25.700 and intellect i love intellect they had to throw that what oh my god be polite is another one they 0.83

00:27:32.780 have here and and person no but other people are on island time black people used to have all of 0.64

00:27:39.900 this stuff used to be part of black culture it was stripped from black culture by these progressive

00:27:46.340 and felonically racist stereotypes that progressives had of that culture and what it

00:27:51.360 represented and i think that that's something that's really important to to highlight 100 and

00:27:57.820 if you want to go into the data on this because you're like that can't be true malcolm they're

00:28:02.000 they're more like blacks weren't better off in the past than they are like in the 1950s blacks

00:28:07.420 were better off than they are today and it's like in a lot of ways they were go to our you can see 0.81

00:28:11.800 the episode it's called 1950s black families were twice as stable as their white counterparts well 0.56

00:28:17.420 they were twice they had a children out of wedlock at five percent the rate and for white

00:28:21.840 it was ten percent the rate yeah but that's not the only thing oh no it's a bunch of other things

00:28:26.200 yeah thriving thriving communities all these other lovely yeah it was it was a thing it was

00:28:31.340 a whole thing anyway i'm not going to get into that what i'm trying to say with the gist of

00:28:35.400 this argument is that this dude mr ryan he introduces this concept victim blaming to point

00:28:41.600 out that like oh actually like especially black americans there's been some stuff it's they're not

00:28:47.260 evil okay the the people they were screwed over and we would say yes they have been screwed over

00:28:51.300 so i'm saying there is merit to the concept of victim blaming sometimes but what happened in 2010s

00:28:57.680 they the concept was completely appropriated by women who took it and turned it into not a hey

00:29:07.100 sometimes victims are subject to systemic problems but rather never blame victims never blame victims

00:29:14.580 never blame victims just like never ever ever like a reflexive panicked crazy-eyed response

00:29:21.860 to the very concept of victims like as soon as something is a victim it can do no wrong okay well

00:29:28.640 and i think by the way a fun episode to to note because i want to dig into this did the cia really

00:29:34.460 start the crack epidemic among the black community or is that a is that a miss i mean i i oh no i

00:29:41.100 think i've like watched long youtube videos on it i think it like for real happened let's dig into 0.62

00:29:45.680 that yeah well okay that could be good that time you started the crack epidemic oh my gosh but

00:29:52.660 again yeah well i know there's all i know the medical experiment look yeah i mean sister 0.51

00:29:59.720 don't blame that kind of victim the cia did medical experiments on white people too

00:30:05.300 mind you simone sure they had the like they even the unabomber was in one of the experiments that 0.76

00:30:11.340 was meant to drag people crazy yeah yeah well whatever he was a stable genius i'm going on

00:30:17.280 to how women ruin it worked victim blaming yeah it worked okay yeah look i mean it's that's better

00:30:24.640 than acoustic pen and by the way kids i want to tell you something yeah of all the drugs you can

00:30:29.900 take do not take psychedelics okay that that that is what they are the drugs that the cia used to

00:30:36.520 try to up people's minds okay we've seen in i think if you're if you're terminally ill it's a

00:30:42.540 really good way to reconcile with your death and i think there are applications that make a lot of

00:30:48.660 sense if you're terminally ill we saw peer-reviewed studies that show that very targeted use with you

00:30:54.140 know going in with intentions and with an experienced therapist they can treat ptsd really

00:30:57.980 well. So again, very targeted things. I think it would be really effective. I also imagine there

00:31:03.320 should be more research on this that shocking people out of... Can you not hear me? Oh, I can't.

00:31:06.900 Sorry. I just want to make one more point. Okay. Make your point. I really wish there were research

00:31:12.360 on shocking people out of chronic pain because there's a lot of people who have residual chronic

00:31:16.800 pain that is crippling that could possibly have your brain scrambled enough by psychedelics to

00:31:23.020 get you out of that rut. Because I think what happens is the brain gets in a pain rut and it

00:31:26.240 can't get out even though your body's fine maybe you're talking about like spoonies and stuff the

00:31:30.940 the i mean we've seen within our community i i more would just push against it broadly like

00:31:36.480 what it can do to you even just trying them once like it had a serious impact on ruby yard's

00:31:42.700 reputation yeah just trying ayahuasca once like why risk something like that i think it's it

00:31:49.780 because keep in mind you know you can still access your email and stuff when you're on the psychedelic

00:31:53.860 right like i think he wasn't still high when he did those things he was oh he he was no he would

00:32:01.960 be vomiting like a crazy person he was high on his stream yes he was that was the entire point

00:32:08.480 of like the 10 hour stream oh really wow so you're like a bucket next to him i didn't watch 0.73

00:32:13.700 the stream i did i did i haven't watched the whole thing i did but the the point being i think

00:32:20.040 they're bad and it's what other people use when they want to control you so continue right so

00:32:25.840 yeah anyway women turn it into this and and the reason why women turned it into this reflexive 0.86

00:32:33.060 never ever question had to do with all of the me too related movements that emerged in the 2010s

00:32:43.540 now me too like the hashtag me too emerged first in 2006 it didn't actually go viral until 2017

00:32:50.300 though it trended upward what happened though that was earlier that i hadn't heard of as all

00:32:56.140 this stuff was bubbling up were the slut walks have you heard about slut walks 0.98

00:33:02.160 i have heard about slut walks yeah i've even seen them you wait a live slut walk not in real life 0.97

00:33:10.080 i've seen like pictures from like france and stuff where they do that nonsense where they walk around 0.79

00:33:13.820 like topless yeah so i so i just i'm gonna bring people to speed because i didn't know these

00:33:19.320 existed i don't know what i was doing from 2011 to 2013 but like there they these are these are

00:33:25.980 protests primarily populated by women that framed victim blaming as a central injustice as part of

00:33:32.380 them they the first one was in 2011 after a toronto police officer advised university students 0.83

00:33:39.700 to quote, avoiding dressing like sluts to prevent sexual assault, which is, I think, 0.92

00:33:45.680 reasonable advice. I think that's reasonable advice. But by 2013, the marches expanded into 1.00

00:33:52.600 this massive worldwide phenomenon, which is presumably why you saw them in France. The first

00:33:58.160 one was in 2011, but the biggest ones were in 2013. And the demonstrators were primarily young

00:34:04.360 women. And what you would do if you're a young woman demonstrating at these is you would dress

00:34:08.940 like a slut and then walk around with signs to protest grape culture and victim blaming and 1.00

00:34:17.700 slut shaming. So I will share with you some amazing photos because I don't know, just in 0.99

00:34:23.380 the context of more recent assaults that have taken place in the UK and in the US and in other

00:34:29.060 countries in Europe, I'm like, oh my God. So here we have, well, one young lady who's not getting

00:34:34.100 the prompt she's wearing black leggings and a checkered plaid shirt which is not slutty but 1.00

00:34:41.800 next to her is a purple haired girl who is wearing a bodysuit that's maybe not very flattering 1.00

00:34:49.060 yeah you got to look at your whatsapp now here's here's another one with a woman holding up a 0.91

00:34:56.740 poster saying it's my hot body i do what i want oh my god letting you know she does what she wants

00:35:04.900 here we have how could i have been asking for it when i did not even know what it was at the time 0.93

00:35:12.780 and then there are two girls next to this this person holding the poster who are just wearing 1.00

00:35:17.900 bras and their jeans here we have some women with signs saying can't touch this she's just 1.00

00:35:25.260 feels so anti-women to me like yeah the idea that somebody psyopsies women into walking around half 1.00

00:35:32.720 naked and parading themselves around town like historically we'd be like oh so that was like

00:35:37.660 the prisoners of the civilization you just conquered yeah that is yeah this this literally 0.99

00:35:42.540 looks like a triumph a roman triumph and these are all of the female slaves that they have brought 0.97

00:35:47.660 with them for things but you never got into anything like this back when you were progressive 1.00

00:35:53.120 if you never thought oh I'm gonna go no and you know what I really think that I I may have seen 0.88

00:35:58.280 a slut walk because I at this time I was working in San Francisco you looked at San Francisco this 1.00

00:36:02.280 time too if I saw one I probably would have thought it was like some iteration of critical 0.99

00:36:07.340 tits which is this like group bike ride that would occasionally take place throughout America

00:36:12.440 where you would just a bunch of people would ride their bicycles without shirts on it was delightful

00:36:19.180 And so in San Francisco, you see something like this and you're like, oh, this is not remarkable. So maybe that's why I didn't know this was a thing. But I'm just, I just, there are all these countries where if a woman went out dressed like this, she would be horrific, unspeakable things would happen to her.

00:36:37.980 And I feel like because we're also choosing to not push back against those cultures entering our countries, women are learning the hard way that actually we can't really do protests like this anymore. 0.68

00:36:51.740 And it's really depressing.

00:36:52.800 And I just find this very ironic.

00:36:54.120 Because I feel like when I look back at these photos, the first thing I think about is just the unspeakable privilege and comfort that these women are operating with.

00:37:01.700 And I don't really know if today women would do the same thing. 0.69

00:37:05.060 Yeah, I haven't seen a slot walk in a long time. 0.98

00:37:06.140 I don't think you you couldn't do a slalom walk in London today you'd be attacked actually though

00:37:11.380 yeah and I think that's really notable that while it isn't said I think it's it is implicitly 0.98

00:37:16.040 understood that we can't women can't dress like sluts anymore because now we understand that

00:37:25.600 women are being regularly assaulted on the streets and like it's actually not safe anymore 0.92

00:37:30.120 and I even I grew up as a teen like thinking well that's just unheard of that doesn't happen

00:37:34.560 because it was but now the news stories are just so pervasive that I think that sentiment has

00:37:38.300 changed but what's really interesting about this is the key thing I think you remember the hashtag

00:37:42.980 believe all women that was part of this whole victim blaming narrative it was just like

00:37:47.680 repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly people were just told if someone says they were a victim

00:37:53.140 they're a victim don't question them the the man is guilty until proven innocent like this just it

00:37:59.120 completely changed the dynamics and I don't know how it was like I just my mind really has

00:38:04.500 keyed to this, it does seem to me that it was pervasively understood that you were to not

00:38:10.220 question, period. And what happened during this period, aside from like the 2011 to 2013 culmination

00:38:17.200 of slut walks, and then 2017, Me Too really reaching the stratosphere, was that universities

00:38:22.020 and NGOs and government agencies started publishing extensive material on grape culture 0.61

00:38:28.340 and victim blaming. And they made the term super standard and training manuals and awareness

00:38:33.220 campaigns and policy documents, again, making it even harder to criticize what might've been

00:38:37.560 causes of complex conflicts that involved possibly sexual violence. And then also there was this

00:38:43.660 influx of new psychological and criminological research on victim blaming that included various

00:38:51.740 studies and myths and victim blaming essentially appeared a ton more in research documents.

00:38:58.380 And then professional bodies, like I found one research oversight office, also social services and health institutions, just a ton of like this county website or whatever would have their own dedicated pages on victim blaming.

00:39:10.320 And then I think more importantly, too, is I think we all remember the much more heavy censorship regime on Facebook and well, the website formerly known as Twitter, right? How anything that could possibly be construed as bullying or harassment would get taken down.

00:39:31.760 So Facebook's community standards define bullying and harassment as content that, quote, purposefully targets private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them, e.g. targeted shaming, altered images, doxing, or repeated unwanted contact.

00:39:46.580 And victim blaming is totally that.

00:39:48.780 I mean, what are you doing but pointing to someone who had something terrible happen to them and saying they might have played a role in this terrible thing happening to them, right?

00:39:58.260 that is clear and so while it isn't implicit that victim blaming violated terms of service of these

00:40:03.600 websites it totally did and so that this is also a period during which actual like no no one even

00:40:10.860 saw a narrative of victim blaming no one even saw people say hey maybe it was her fault because even

00:40:16.720 if one of these did get past a moderator they would just be completely ratioed and subtweeted

00:40:22.780 and and attacked openly for just remember before the blessing of blue sky yeah when just everyone

00:40:29.980 disappeared to that and then all just tried to kill each other it's horrible and yeah i mean

00:40:33.680 yeah twitter twitter was also famous for just a ton of other like even the government getting

00:40:37.200 involved involved with censorship that was so scary well i think a lot of the crazier ones

00:40:41.300 yeah on the lives themselves like i actually think that that's a bigger thing that happened

00:40:44.860 that is not talked about it yeah there doesn't need to be a lot of depression and mental illness

00:40:48.920 that's that's very sad and i think that that's part of why the left quieted down because the

00:40:54.880 crazier ones burnt off yeah i i think you are onto something there so that's that's totally a thing

00:41:01.080 yeah but i think there's an one other element to this that is non-trivial which is that there was

00:41:07.880 also pretty significant rise in an external locus of control for individuals during this period

00:41:14.620 And there is actually, though this is before even 2010, but I still think that the trend just continued and got worse. There's a 2004 cross-temporal meta-analysis that was published in Personality and Social Psychology Review, where two researchers looked at 97 samples of college students, a total of almost 19,000 students, over 18,000.

00:41:40.300 and then 41 samples of children when that was a sample of over 6 000 looking at data from 1960 to

00:41:47.500 2002 and they found that locus of control scores became substantially more external of about 0.8

00:41:54.940 standard deviations oh my god do not send your kid into the school system i'm going to be building

00:41:59.060 soon an ai that'll make even better than parasia for education that's that's one of the projects

00:42:04.260 i'm working on yeah that uses remote ais that your kids can carry around with them

00:42:08.480 focus on education and lesson plans and stuff like that it's going to be so great because i'm

00:42:14.300 making it for myself and my kids so of course it's going to be awesome it's going to be fantastic

00:42:18.120 but just to give you framing and this is ending in 2002 right so it's it's i i can only it can

00:42:25.020 only be worse now it's not like any of these trends reversed so that is profoundly worse now

00:42:30.000 but the average college student in 2002 had a more external locus of control than 80 of college

00:42:37.320 students in the early 1960s do you like this is profound that is really bad yeah and and it all

00:42:45.800 explain the locus of control to people so locus of control if you have an internal locus of control

00:42:50.620 and i i i bump my toe on something in the house i'm like oh i'm so clumsy that was my fault i

00:42:57.700 should have been more careful with where i was looking if i have an external locus of control

00:43:01.300 and I bumped my toe in my house. I'm like, who made me bump my toe? How could you possibly

00:43:07.760 have put this thing here? Who put this chair here? You just find anyone else to blame.

00:43:12.880 If you fail the test, it's because your parents didn't tell you to study enough and

00:43:19.400 your teacher hates you anyway and all these things. Nothing is your fault. And when you

00:43:23.940 point to things like oh well it's not your fault that you were sexually assaulted it's because you

00:43:32.240 know of bias and this this man was uneducated about consent he wasn't aware that you're not 0.98

00:43:40.000 supposed to rape people he's not aware that if you wear super slutty clothing and come home with him 0.99

00:43:45.560 and give him a blow job that he you know he still needs to ask for consent every five minutes like 0.99

00:43:53.160 yeah it's just but this is yeah it has become a very pervasive thing and i do think that this has 0.99

00:43:58.720 a big role to play but i think these are all very correlated and what does seem to be something that

00:44:03.160 really just skyrocketed i mean as you can see with google ngram viewer in the 2010s is just

00:44:08.300 this concept of victim blaming and it i thought when i would look into the history and and this

00:44:12.560 this this exponential increase in victim blaming that took place in the 2010s that it would have

00:44:18.600 to do with a broader variety of topics like victims of racism victims of classism victims

00:44:25.400 of whatever but no it was only only like me too victims and that's what really shocked me and keep

00:44:33.120 in mind Malcolm just like you said this you know Gamergate was 2014-2015 so this happened at this

00:44:40.300 very same time and I think to your point it didn't affect conservatives the same way because this was

00:44:45.420 this period where conservatives were like what are you talking about like this is this is yeah

00:44:50.900 like delusional and and and that's when you started to see this break off and i think you're also like

00:44:56.040 if we were to look at external versus internal locus of control among conservatives and progressives

00:45:01.000 you would see massive external locus of control across progressives and much less common external

00:45:07.580 locus of control among conservatives who broadly see themselves as personally responsible you know

00:45:13.480 the buck stops with them and ultimately for your mental health it's better to have an internal

00:45:17.780 locus of control even if something's totally outside of your control to still be like what

00:45:22.500 can i do better is going to ultimately produce better outcomes because if you just blame other

00:45:26.680 people you have no reason to improve to look within and see what you can do to increase your 0.99

00:45:30.660 odds of success so yeah but yeah i i didn't think that this was going to be a women are terrible 0.97

00:45:36.840 thing but i really do think that women messed it up because women now are just so what happened is 0.72

00:45:41.560 they went from being so reflexively listen to all women believe all women to just believe all 0.96

00:45:47.820 victims because the term victim blaming was used i know that sounds stupid but i actually think it 1.00

00:45:54.220 kind of works does my theory hold with you or do you think it's stupid you can hold enough i think 0.98

00:46:00.840 i think you're right i think you're right but i think there's also the colonialist narrative

00:46:07.460 and worldviews here mandami episode if you want to get a better understanding of how this works

00:46:11.760 yeah i think also metastasized during this period and is part of what's leading to this this idea

00:46:18.580 that as soon as that became normalized in the left the left goal genuinely became the eradication

00:46:24.660 of european populations and jewish populations right like somehow that's the thing whenever 0.87

00:46:30.880 you see somebody and this is why it's so easy to be cultural allies with jews or israel is 0.77

00:46:35.860 whenever i see some crazy leftist talking about how they want to you know get rid of israel get 0.69

00:46:44.220 rid of the blah blah you see this in protests all the time i know that they feel the exact same way 0.87

00:46:48.700 about me like we have a shared enemy which is you know it makes it because you know that you know

00:46:56.020 they say the same thing they that when they're protesting everyone's equal and you go well what

00:47:00.300 about you know the grooming gangs or whatever and they're just you know they don't really feel that

00:47:07.240 way they feel that some groups are superior to other groups and you know i i'm just so grateful

00:47:13.560 that their fertility rates are so low and that we don't have to deal with this for another few

00:47:18.940 generations same dude anyway thank you have a wonderful day i love you malcolm love you too

00:47:30.300 so i don't know if you heard that there's this influencer who's facing a firing squad in dubai

00:47:37.220 oh yes for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend when she says that she was attempting to flee

00:47:45.880 and he was holding on to her passport yeah i i think it's it to me it's pretty obvious she's

00:47:51.940 telling the truth yeah and i'm very surprised because one there's no there they said it was

00:47:56.640 premeditated murder which doesn't make a lot of sense why would you fly to dubai to commit a

00:48:03.460 premeditated murder and then leave without like all of his stuff in your suitcase or something

00:48:09.420 like that just seems like a purely bad situation to put yourself in so like i can't understand what

00:48:16.340 they think especially because it was her second time going down there to see him like what they

00:48:21.220 think maybe if if it does turn out that she had like bitcoin or something right like a server with

00:48:28.500 a bunch of bitcoin in her suitcase oh sure yeah maybe or that she has a history of violent action

00:48:36.020 actually the other guy has a history of violent acts i know i know i heard that i yeah i'm with

00:48:40.820 asmongold on this this is the only reporting that i've heard yeah but we watched the asmogold we

00:48:45.300 watch the same video of course of course i love that our algos are so similar not really

00:48:55.300 really it's like asmongold nux leaflet and then oh and oh my god why am i blanking on her name

00:49:03.620 lovely fox woman kirsha kirsha why did that why did my brain watch as many of kirsha's stuff 0.81

00:49:10.100 like de novo as i do the other people yeah no she shows up less in my feed i don't know why maybe

00:49:15.840 well i mean her videos if i remember are quite a lot longer than other videos and i just don't

00:49:20.700 have time for them that's the core reason it's not like she's not entertaining there's some other

00:49:24.320 people i'm just like you do not put a like you're boring or low energy or you know like which which

00:49:31.360 i really don't like when people are low energy which you probably buy like nux right like

00:49:35.360 contrast like what i mean by that is contrast like nux's show it's like lotus eaters sargan

00:49:41.180 of akad like nux very high energy sargan i love sargan of akad's like politics i just find him

00:49:46.680 too low energy i think when people turn to the lower energy but based content it's because they

00:49:53.460 want like dad energy instead of like friend energy yeah but i don't know this is i guess

00:49:59.500 that's something i don't need in my life is more dad energy i got too much you don't want someone

00:50:03.260 to tell you to make your bed because you just that ship has sailed the bed will never be made

00:50:07.660 i will sometimes twice a year descend upon your room and leave your bed totally made

00:50:14.060 and those are the only times it's actually really mad at me sargon of akad of all of these figures

00:50:21.160 is the one who has the biggest reputation for being like an offensive public figure and that's

00:50:27.880 mostly just because he started talking about conservative content before the other ones did

00:50:32.020 when it's still not sensationalist at all from what i remember there is a thing where he said

00:50:39.760 like he wouldn't even grape some woman who was a public official and people freaked out about that

00:50:44.820 which it seems pretty benign that sounds along the lines of the trump accusation response to

00:50:51.960 his rape accusations where he's like she's not my type i wouldn't it wouldn't try she's not my type

00:51:00.400 yeah which i find to be a weirdly compelling argument but also it's been a long time since

00:51:08.020 the event took place so she could have been his type back then anyway oh wait any other news i

00:51:14.600 wanted to catch you up on still working on oh a really cool thing for the hardware that we're

00:51:19.820 getting for working for our fab yeah it turns out the device that has the camera and the screen on

00:51:25.460 it comes with the magnets on its back so you can just plop it on a fridge or anything that's

00:51:31.360 metallic and so like ladies and gentlemen never plonk a magnet on your dishwasher that i learned

00:51:38.040 that from a dishwasher repair person can break the electronics inside don't do it but yeah what

00:51:43.560 makes that cool is it means like you can take your companion with you when you're cooking or

00:51:48.340 something put it up on the fridge and it can observe the scene and talk with you and give you 0.78

00:51:54.260 feedback your posture is horrible so kyphotic you must stop this now

00:52:00.440 yeah interesting so i'm excited to get get this well i mean the idea is is that once we build

00:52:09.060 this system then i can build a more advanced system of like household assistance right and

00:52:13.900 it's only a matter of years if not months until we can hook an ai into our wi-fi router using that

00:52:22.400 system that allows you to see where anyone is in the room based on the wi-fi signal oh so then we

00:52:27.860 can get to this point where we can start asking where's so-and-so and she will say playing near

00:52:37.320 the toilet and we'll say oh my god and we'll run we'll run to that place or we can even get

00:52:44.200 warnings so-and-so has spent more than three minutes in the bathroom would you like to

00:52:48.500 investigate wait is this like an api i could use i could try to build that out uh i don't recall

00:52:53.060 the exact software the youtuber that i watched who talked about this like the the system but it

00:52:58.500 yeah it is it is it does appear to be a specific type of software that but there there was i mean

00:53:03.780 i have always wanted to and i could make this a project after the hardware a an assistant project

00:53:10.180 is a child monitoring system that's i agree if you combined this image model that i'm talking

00:53:17.140 about here with a wi-fi tracking system you could pretty easily get a child monitoring system up and

00:53:22.960 running that would be so freaking cool that would be so cool don't even have to parent yeah well i

00:53:31.940 mean so google already has and here's the thing is google has a product that's they're paying to

00:53:36.460 educate people about this they are remember their camera system will alert you about things in a

00:53:42.680 sort of smart way like your cat's doing this i can't remember exactly the specifics but it was

00:53:47.040 something that would send i think push notifications based on actual intelligently perceived actions

00:53:51.960 taking place within your house and it is very expensive it is a subscription-based service

00:53:58.080 like it is not cheap and that's probably their subsidized price so especially if we can make

00:54:03.660 something more affordable that would be really cool oh yeah i'm well that's that's sort of the

00:54:08.040 idea behind our fab is and it's one of the things i've been working really hard on was video

00:54:11.320 generation is getting it way more affordable and i found a number of hacks that got the price down

00:54:15.180 where i think we're one of the cheapest sites right now for video generation yeah because it's

00:54:20.380 finally starting to get a little costly for people that's cool i'm so excited about that

00:54:26.120 that was the biggest blow you guys oh my gosh i'm gonna cover the camera oh mommy mommy mommy

00:54:33.240 wow this one every day every day okay toasty whoa mix it water this one every day when

00:54:41.620 it when you put it in the dirt. Oh, well, we just took it out of the dirt. What if we

00:54:46.980 put it in a vase and then water it while it lives? Does that sound good to you, Toasty?

00:54:51.360 Baby, that's a great idea. We put it in water. She's making a break for it. So, Mommy, I

00:54:58.260 heard that the roof sucks up water. Yeah, looks great. Put it in the basket. Mommy, I

00:55:06.080 hard to lose water. It does it does so that's why you should put it in the big base full of water.

00:55:15.520 Yeah. Yeah, because it's so big. Yeah, it's got to suck up all that water, right?

00:55:21.600 You did. Oh, thank you, Indy. That's so cute. Oh, look at that. Wow.

00:55:28.880 oh thank you so much they all go in the basket thank you friends in the basket whoa
