00:00:00.000Hello, Simone! I'm excited to be here with you today.
00:00:03.340Today, we are going to be diving deep into the mind of an individual
00:00:07.420who some right-wing figures have covered recently for his crazy comments.
00:00:13.480One of the crazier ones that happened recently is he said that if he transported back to the Pilgrim era,
00:00:21.080and obviously I'll play the clip here.
00:00:22.300You suddenly wake up in the 17th century on a ship headed for New England.
00:00:25.940As soon as we landed, I would use the money to bribe the bosun to look the other way while I stole all of the muskets and powder on board.0.98
00:00:35.260And then I would march immediately to the nearest indigenous settlement, give the guns out like candy,0.97
00:00:40.620and make it my mission in life to murder every single white man, woman, and child on the eastern seaboard of the continent.0.99
00:00:47.320that he would kill any white women and children that he found after betraying the pilgrims and1.00
00:00:55.140giving away all their guns to indians because apparently this makes sense to him and he's also0.99
00:00:59.820gone viral which we'll talk about later in this you know sterilizing himself but with all of this
00:01:04.900stuff yes i could go over how crazy this guy sounds which is i think we all know but as people
00:01:11.680who watch our channel i try to bring a unique perspective to what i'm covering so i decided
00:01:16.440to go through and watch his videos so oh you went down the rabbit hole yes okay and one of his
00:01:25.240videos which is the one i really want to talk on in this is why the left would win an upcoming civil
00:01:33.540war um and he basically lays out the plan that his side has for winning an upcoming civil war
00:01:43.220and really as insane as you would think oh they have a shot
00:01:48.720so it's something that we need to to talk about we need to engage with and more than just engaging
00:01:58.660with it the reason why i think it's so important to engage with is i think it makes it clear when
00:02:04.900the right-wing alliance thinks about the elements of the alliance that are actually important to
00:02:12.500both its long-term viability and its immediate security on in the moment of like crazy revolution
00:02:20.600type stuff right it is massively misunderstanding where it should actually be focusing focusing way
00:02:31.720too much on armed groups of rednecks which he points out realistically aren't particularly
00:02:38.400relevant if a civil war did break out and he goes through historic civil wars to make this
00:02:45.100argument no i don't think that that's i i i don't think the way he presents his argument is powerful
00:02:50.140because i'd be like yeah but the technological context is entirely different now they didn't
00:02:53.560have like fully automatic weapons back then and stuff right um but the the he does he doesn't
00:03:00.180notice things that i think a right-wing person would notice so let's go into this and he also
00:03:04.980goes into how how probable it is okay so broadly his worldview goes like this if you look at
00:03:13.620historic civil wars what actually ended up determining who won and how well sides were
00:03:20.920able to sort of field their assets it largely came downstream of the existing bureaucratic
00:03:28.940and civilizational infrastructure that allowed them to recruit and command troops at scale
00:03:35.820as well as manage industry at scale um that so if you if you think about something like the
00:03:44.640revolutionary war or something like this the troops that we had fighting for us were not
00:03:51.080just you know people who we had raised out of nowhere these were pre-existing military regimens
00:03:57.040often uh or they had elements of pre-existing military regimens within them if you look at the
00:04:03.060you know civil war both the south and the north had sort of large-scale economic and sort of
00:04:11.580civilizational infrastructure that they could call on random rebels have a very hard time doing
00:04:19.740anything other than just holding land and would they even be able to hold land in an existing
00:04:26.740context so to give it an understanding of like how he's thinking about a civil war
00:04:30.540but he was praising mandami for and apparently a lot of leftists see this is a major betrayal
00:04:38.500and he was saying that this was actually very shrewd immediately burying the hatchet with the
00:04:43.440nypd as soon as he was elected and he's like look if we want to prevent ice like federal government
00:04:53.280troops from operating effectively in new york we are going to need the nypd on our side we are0.51
00:05:01.520going to need our own thugs with guns to be fighting their thugs with guns oh
00:05:09.820oh i mean i guess the police need their pensions to be paid and who who controls the pensions so
00:05:20.720if we're talking about like national versus local control is that kind of what he's thinking about
00:05:27.680so yeah basically the question is is if society were ever to fall into unrest how much
00:05:36.140organizational control would leftists have we i mean like when we know the types of institutions
00:05:42.400that leftists control today leftists control the huge parts of the judicial system and the most
00:05:49.300economically prosperous parts of the United States, huge parts of the white collar job system
00:05:55.540in the most industrious parts, you know, technologically industrious parts of the United
00:05:59.160States. They control governments and the surrounding environments in stuff like cities.
00:06:06.300So suppose we were having any form of a revolution or something like that. The NYPD is obviously
00:06:11.760quite pissed at the way leftists have treated them. But you've also got to keep in mind how
00:06:17.040long they have had woke hiring practices within their organization. So even though they have a
00:06:22.700bit of a chip on their shoulder compared to other people, you've got to keep in mind their entire
00:06:27.640architecture around them, right? You know, you've got everybody else in Manhattan, many of whom are
00:06:32.960quite left-leaning, who could pressure them or make it difficult for them to act independently
00:06:38.980in the case of any sort of serious split. Now, I'm just giving you guys his perspective. I actually
00:06:45.480think it's massively wrong but i'm giving you his perspective right and then if i was going to
00:06:51.160further steel man his perspective beyond what he has said because obviously being a modern leftist
00:06:57.400he doesn't think ai is relevant but where do you fall on the luddite to accelerationist spectrum
00:07:03.960uh i'm of two minds in my heart of hearts i think the agricultural revolution was a mistake
00:07:10.920I think that any society with an agricultural mode of subsistence is necessarily imperial and hierarchical.
00:07:20.560And I think that basically all of our problems come downstream from that.
00:07:24.960I am arguing that the core thing of relevance in future battles, even six, seven years out, is going to be automated drone swarms.
