Based Camp - The Post-Election Vibe Shift

00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited to be talking to you today today we're going to be talking about the

00:00:03.280 vibe shift in america post this election cycle some of my favorite streamers have been talking

00:00:08.640 on this subject this has like been a reverberating subject in the online right starting with an

00:00:13.480 azma gold video and then people commenting on the azma gold video and then people commenting

00:00:16.840 on people commenting on the azma gold video and i think it's because everyone knows it's true

00:00:24.100 and he was just the first to put a finger on it and i'll go into my experience of this we'll go

00:00:29.580 over some other people's experiences of this but i want to hear from you first simone as somebody

00:00:34.760 who didn't even know that this is something that's being talked about because you've been watching

00:00:37.820 like left-wing streamers now we need it i love oh my gosh yeah i i can't even get into it i'm loving

00:00:43.260 we will get into it though the one who who thinks that she needs to like prep for war

00:00:47.940 insane i'm the sonic come to her house and like drag her away um she she's going to have her uterus 1.00

00:00:55.280 removed like actually okay for those of us who have a uterus to contend with i personally plan

00:01:00.360 to get mine fully yeeted before january 20th not just sterilized removed i already knew that i

00:01:05.760 didn't want kids because pregnancy would be a disaster for me medically but this incoming

00:01:09.580 administration is my cue to make that decision final my answer to your body my choice is to 1.00

00:01:15.180 entirely remove the part of my body they're trying to regulate it is a rousing fuck you to any 1.00

00:01:20.340 shitty man who voted for this so yeah oh my god has she had kids yet no but she's married to like 1.00

00:01:27.560 a really sweet dude so it's kind of sad yo no and the dude is she's like he's a first generation

00:01:33.660 indian immigrant so they're gonna come he's not an illegal immigrant is he no they're not coming from 0.99

00:01:39.460 you psycho this isn't she is preparing for her time in the camps like getting her bug out bag ready 0.86

00:01:47.880 and everything up now i am a disabled genderqueer afab artist married to a first generation indian

00:01:53.480 american so we'll be going over how we plan to protect ourselves and others from proposed mass 0.96

00:01:57.460 deportation plans how to remain safe in public if you're an at-risk demographic steps you can take

00:02:01.740 to prepare for crackdowns on reproductive freedoms and how to build communities so that we can all lean

00:02:06.260 on each other in times of need so even if you are an able-bodied cishat white man whose family 0.72

00:02:10.600 arrived on the mayflower this video will be useful to you too we need as many people on the team as

00:02:14.620 possible and you do have a role to play i also want to acknowledge that these protections don't

00:02:18.380 necessarily guarantee that you won't still be detained or that the person who's questioning you

00:02:22.680 won't still resort to violence these are buffers not shields and i'm sorry for that well but she's 0.96

00:02:27.840 also arming herself so like i i appreciate the fact that she's like get your firearms get your 1.00

00:02:33.520 concealed carry go to the shooting range know how to use your stuff when you're not permitted to

00:02:38.360 conceal carry like carry concealed like have an actual weapon that you can use in an alternate

00:02:42.320 for example i use a heavy bike chain if you cannot or will not purchase a gun still arm yourself to the

00:02:47.820 teeth in every way you can stash it all over your house in your car and on your person i have knives

00:02:53.560 hidden all over my house as well as a hammer in my car and pepper gel and a homemade club stashed in my

00:02:58.700 bag not every place you go will allow weapons so you need to build up some plausible deniability

00:03:02.980 that homemade club i mentioned it's a heavy duty padlock tied to a scarf when going through

00:03:07.180 security simply remove the padlock from the scarf and there you go you now have two completely

00:03:11.180 harmless and totally unrelated items bag of coins and a sock same concept just separate them when

00:03:15.960 you're going through security like i'm liking like there's so are we gonna get are we gonna get like

00:03:20.080 leftist militants like we've had rightist there are there are i was going through comments on her

00:03:24.260 youtube video and it was like left-wing prepper here like also make sure you know how to forage like

00:03:28.720 they're out there and it's funny because there's this like full circle where i'm like

00:03:32.600 you sound exactly like me but for some reason you think that like everything's gonna fall apart now

00:03:38.380 this is so weird but whatever i think they're coming you're coming to your house and they are

00:03:43.100 delusional in the extreme and i think like actively dangerous it's not perfect but you can mess up

00:03:48.540 somebody's knees pretty bad and that makes escaping a much more viable option you need element of

00:03:53.040 surprise to make it work though so make sure you're fast it's not an effective enough weapon to be used

00:03:57.120 as a deterrent so the time between you revealing you have it and it making contact should be as

00:04:01.920 close to zero as you can manage well no no no i my favorite part about her i just have to gush

00:04:06.240 because i'm i'm like in love like she's amazing just from like you know how i'm obsessed with weird

00:04:10.540 subcultures like you know i had this like time where i went through all these weird japanese

00:04:14.420 subcultures and you just deep dive on them and you get obsessed she is just there's only really two

00:04:21.700 videos of hers that are good for this but she's an amazing view into this far left progressive

00:04:27.260 subculture in the way that she feels the world she is um late in life she became deaf so she knows sign

00:04:34.980 language and most of her videos are teaching sign language and she has one video on how to sign

00:04:41.340 various progressive terminology like your your gender and if you're poly and the amazing thing is

00:04:50.140 there's this part of the video where she's like well in asl there are no pronouns but i'm still

00:04:54.640 going to walk you through how to introduce your pronouns it's the best video i've heard this is

00:05:01.860 like a big problem they have in like i don't know finland or somewhere in northern europe where they

00:05:05.260 don't naturally use pronouns so what progressives in the country have done is use english pronouns added

00:05:13.080 them to their language just so they can force people to use the right pronoun yeah that seems to be

00:05:18.200 the same phenomenon here but yeah i i loved it and it was it's actually but like aside from it being

00:05:23.840 about culture wars or like left versus right it's just really fascinating to see someone walk through

00:05:29.140 like here's the etiquette in asl of like how to introduce pronouns and how to explain to people

00:05:37.820 that you're poly and here's what the language is and like the construction of the language and like also

00:05:41.920 the etymology of the sign language which she went over like well you know like lesbian started out as

00:05:47.520 this and part of it was like a sex joke but then like because deaf people often really center around 0.93

00:05:54.080 church communities like the it evolved like the language evolved this way and it's it's fast like

00:06:00.160 it's a really good video like i'm i'm super in and her project 2025 20 sorry her project 2025 prep video

00:06:07.840 which you first referred to where she's talking about just like all right the world's going off the edge

00:06:14.340 this is it is one of the most fascinating views i found it insanely boring oh she is she is she's

00:06:22.740 gotten poor timing she delivers information way too slowly she she could be way way way tighter it 1.00

00:06:29.740 could be way way way more interesting she makes analogies that don't make any sense even if you 0.96

00:06:34.660 assume her world perspective yeah she presented it as like small channels we'll make like a game of

00:06:39.480 throne a game of thrones analogy and then it like completely fell apart but no just from it like

00:06:45.160 an anthropological perspective for an anthropological perspective i i like looking at her at the same

00:06:50.680 way i like looking at christian you know like yeah no but like so that has inherent worth chris chan

00:06:57.160 thinks he has a magical world that's all real and she that's fascinating right is gonna come and drag her 0.99

00:07:02.380 from her house because she's gay like this is or or fake gay she's not real gay she's dating a guy and 0.99

00:07:08.440 she's a girl but no now she's married no that they're they're happily married they're gay in that 0.90

00:07:12.920 way where she has identified herself as not a her but like a they or something and so she's like 0.96

00:07:18.120 definitionally gay and her husband's definitely oh my god i hate these self-identified gay identities 1.00

00:07:23.040 i'd be so mad if i was like an actual gay person who fought for gay rights for so long and now people 0.85

00:07:28.440 like this can just be like i identify as this gender and now i'm queer in fact i'm more queer

00:07:33.640 than you gay man sorry going over the video again i realized i assumed she was identifying as some form

00:07:39.520 of gay by calling herself an afab but when i looked up what afab meant in progressive brain melt 0.96

00:07:45.400 apparently it just means woman so like a normal woman sorry i know you're not supposed to say normal

00:07:51.560 but yeah it means a normal woman sorry but let's get into this actual topic because i want to hear your

00:07:56.720 thoughts on it okay has there been a vibe shift it's hard for me to say because i'm not i'm not as

00:08:02.860 online as you are i i will say that there is some there's not as much freaking out on the left as i

00:08:15.740 expected and i think a lot of that's because a lot of the people that were catering to that extremist

00:08:22.920 doomerist view didn't really hold those views themselves and thought their audience did and

00:08:28.140 then after trump won by a significant margin they realized oh i don't have to front for that so much

00:08:37.160 like the pressure was also a risk a reputational risk to continue doing that because they just a lot

00:08:42.700 of them said that their side was going to win the election they lost that prediction and now all of

00:08:48.220 these other insane views which i bet they knew weren't going to happen they didn't really believe

00:08:53.340 any of this stuff they now have to walk those back because of you know they don't come and break down

00:08:58.300 this girl's door and take her and her boyfriend away for identifying as demigender unicorns that she's 1.00

00:09:06.240 going to be like hey they were all lying to me so there's that aspect but i'd say as a online person

00:09:12.000 very online i've noticed a giant vibe shift really a vibe shift online and in-person interactions okay

00:09:19.940 what's going on break it down for us offline nerds apparently offline nerds are people who just don't

00:09:25.440 interact with other people that much i guess yeah so the first is is it's like this weird like big

00:09:33.200 coming out day for a lot of people where a lot of people who i thought of as left-leaning or

00:09:42.120 centrist seem to be quite happy that trump won and are sort of coming out and being like

00:09:48.840 yeah i wanted this some of them even don't seem to have realized because i've seen this in some

00:09:55.160 interviews when they're like i thought i was ambivalent to who won but when trump won and looked

00:10:00.340 like he was winning i got really excited and then i realized i haven't been ambivalent at all

00:10:05.740 i wanted trump to win for a long time and i think that that's another thing that has happened within

00:10:11.480 this community is a lot of people weren't sure right up until the end they thought that they were

00:10:17.180 you know swallowing their pride and i think even in the first trump election cycle that was an election

00:10:24.500 cycle that i feel that hillary lost i think a huge part of the trump vote came from people who

00:10:29.580 despised hillary in the biden election cycle there were still a lot of these never trumpers or

00:10:36.940 traditionally transitioning never trumpers around when i saw this i think what we have seen is a

00:10:42.260 full transition of a portion of the u.s population into enthusiastic trump voters and we'll go over the

00:10:49.820 data on them and not just enthusiastic trump voters but enthusiastic republicans in a way that

00:10:56.180 i don't think that there have been this degree of enthusiasm before so i think that we're seeing

00:11:02.940 two things one is a huge amount of euphoria on the right right now and not like and the left didn't

00:11:11.280 have this type of euphoria when they beat trump last time they beat him with a candidate that they saw

00:11:16.740 as an institutional compromise candidate yeah the the responsible choice no one gets excited about

00:11:22.660 making what they feel is the responsible choice trump for everyone was the fun choice the treat

00:11:28.120 yourself president if you know what i mean treat yourself velvet slippies cashmere socks velvet pants

00:11:34.700 cashmere turtle i'm a cashmere velvet candy cane treat yourself this is insane but yeah there was that

00:11:43.080 but then there was also the element of i think that the democratic machine even as biden was winning and

00:11:50.740 won was still well climate change is going to kill us and they're not really doing anything about that

00:11:57.060 the right are still all a bunch of nazis you know the country is still descending into madness i'm still

00:12:02.980 living with persecution every day it was a band-aid for them the enthusiastic trump contingent which i

00:12:11.300 think is the dominant contingent on the right and the statistics do show that this is a case um

00:12:16.260 doesn't have doesn't have a bleak view of america's future they have an incredibly optimistic view of

00:12:23.300 america's future yeah and i think unbridled optimism that to me has been the most shocking part of the

00:12:30.760 vibe shift but in addition to that there's the second order thing which is in the first trump when

00:12:36.700 many people saw it as a referendum on stuff like pollsters like pollsters got it wrong they saw it as

00:12:43.200 a faction of extremist americans who you know they they they really saw as deplorables like even even

00:12:51.220 among our communities you know educated people the people who now have moved to the trump side the

00:12:55.860 people who now make up you know your jd vances and stuff like that there was still a view of like well

00:13:01.160 i don't really like either of these candidates i may secretly vote for trump but i'm gonna tell myself

00:13:06.440 i don't like him i'm not gonna be like openly enthusiastic about him that has transitioned 1.00

00:13:12.200 the the other thing that happened was that in this this election the referendum was not on trump but

00:13:19.020 almost sort of seen as culture more broadly so well it's i mean i i actually think trump is a bigger part

00:13:25.380 of this and you may give him credit for but what i have heard from people is that they're not excited

00:13:29.840 about the republican party they're excited about make america great again they're excited about the

00:13:35.980 new right like they're excited that oh wait like conservatives aren't what i thought i were like

00:13:41.820 they were conservatives are fun like this is that this is the this is literally a mandate and an

00:13:47.580 administration that is all about fixing things and i think people are really excited they're like wait

00:13:52.060 could we actually have a simplified tax code could we actually have curtailed government spending like this

00:13:57.940 just exciting like actually well and then you have people like jfk like over the fda and i think a lot

00:14:03.260 of people like a lot of the leftists who are just really like deep staters corporatist bureaucrat type

00:14:08.560 people yeah they respond to this like oh can you believe he said this can you believe he said this

00:14:13.260 but i think anyone who is like a mainstream american who's watched this guy's videos are like oh he wants

00:14:20.480 to put like regulations on stuff that should have had right like you're like oh this sounds great

00:14:24.840 thing to do or what the democrats told people they were about and i think what people are realizing

00:14:32.420 and this has been one of the realizations it's like the people who watch the jfk videos who know what

00:14:36.280 jfk is really about they're like oh the republican alliance includes things like granola moms now

00:14:44.720 i don't really understand that i thought that was like a confused lady not somebody who literally

00:14:50.740 had all of her positions embodied and the person who's running the the secretary of health and human

00:14:56.100 services this is what most americans innocently put into their bodies these days and most alarmingly

00:15:03.200 into the bodies their children we've grown now to accept chronic disease conditions as normal but now

00:15:09.260 in 2024 we're finally waking up to this cataclysm and we're asking ourselves how in the world did this

00:15:15.580 happen a big part of it is our diet restaurants that serve contaminated food are fined or shut down

00:15:23.120 but when it's the government that approves the poisons in our food a few people get very very rich

00:15:28.700 and the toxins end up in every supermarket aisle let me show you what i mean doritos cheese it's

00:15:35.940 cap'n crunch gummy bears everyone knows that these are junk foods so maybe you wouldn't be too

00:15:42.080 surprised to see that the ingredients include a lot of poisons including a harmful yellow dye called

00:15:48.420 tatrazine or yellow dye number five today it's made from petroleum not coal tar either way it's crazy

00:15:55.160 to add this to your kids favorite foods it doesn't even change the flavor this yellow dye isn't just in

00:16:01.100 junk food it's in the foods that we consider healthy it's in everyday kids snacks like popcorn mac and cheese

00:16:08.680 fruit snacks it's in sports drinks like gatorade and so-called vitamin water it's even added to

00:16:15.020 chicken broth to corn to pickles to mustard and to yogurt and so of course our kids get sick and we

00:16:22.040 lovingly feed them chewable vitamins which have surprise tartrazine and so the cycle continues until

00:16:29.100 the coughs and asthma kick in at which point you go to pick up some cough serum and yeah you guessed it

00:16:35.540 tartrazine i've been picking on tartrazine today but that's just one of at least 100 chemical poisons

00:16:41.960 that our health agencies allow into which all eight of those crucial steps forward in our kids health

00:16:48.160 were taken under president trump but the democrats who claim to be all about health care have stood by

00:16:54.260 watching other countries ban these poisons and make our kids sick asthmatic hyperactive and depressed

00:17:00.860 they left them on every supermarket shelf in america they even used your tax money to put them

00:17:07.060 in your kids school lunch so their big food and their big ag donors probably gave them all that

00:17:12.040 golden handshake and the big money hug and their big pharma donors probably called them up and thanked

00:17:17.740 them also because now they're gonna make billions selling adderall prozac and rescue inhalers enough is

00:17:24.520 enough president trump and i are gonna stop the mass poisoning of american children yeah

00:17:30.840 yeah so there's that but i think it's more like a okay so this year when you talk about things like

00:17:38.140 the sweet baby ink controversy and gamer gate 2 you had this series of like major flops of things coming

00:17:44.640 out and nobody at all buying it whether it was the woke concord or the woke dustborn or you can watch

00:17:50.380 our videos on this stuff and just no audience for it or the woke star wars acolyte nobody's watching

00:17:56.640 this we have seen a shift to where if something has any degree of wokeness in it everyone stays away

00:18:02.960 from it and i think there was this people have been beginning to like this needed to prime the pump

00:18:09.060 before the trump election for the vibe shift to happen because there were people at the top of a lot

00:18:13.980 of companies and people you know in a lot of corporate positions who are like it doesn't seem

00:18:19.980 financially good for us to continue supporting these woke individuals like do we maybe we should begin

00:18:25.020 rolling back you know you begin to have people talk about maybe rolling some of this stuff back

00:18:30.040 the the break in the wall of this dam like where where the cracks in the water was spewing out was

00:18:36.720 really big like there were already if this was a movie there were already pieces of concrete like

00:18:42.460 shooting this way in that right before the election happened but when the election happened and i

00:18:49.360 almost am struggling to psychologically understand why this happened and i think i have a chain of events

00:18:53.940 that can explain it it's like for a lot of people who sort of felt this way but were unsure if they 0.98

00:19:02.160 could commit to it in a public context we're now like i can say dei is dumb as shit i can say that this 0.99

00:19:09.980 is bad for our company i can say we need to stop doing this stuff i can say trump isn't hitler i can say 0.99

00:19:17.000 that the multiple of three riots were staged by a three-letter organization and all of the evidence

00:19:26.560 completely supports that at this point i can say that because we've had a lot more stuff come out

00:19:31.720 since then i can't talk about it in detail actually i'd say the core reason why you the audience if you

00:19:37.420 still think that it was a genuine eye attempt it is because the evidence that proves it wasn't is so

00:19:46.200 heavily censored it is one of the most censored things we can talk about on this channel which is

00:19:50.480 why we don't talk about it it was like now like all of the evidence is basically in there is no doubt

00:19:56.880 in my mind one iota which is shocking that they got away from this for so long but people who are like

00:20:02.860 interested engaged people now know oh we had a fed surrection where the fed basically tried to take

00:20:11.240 over the state government with the bureaucracy and succeeded in doing so and now it is the average

00:20:17.820 citizen taking the part the country back the other thing i've noticed is i think where you have a

00:20:25.420 and this feels very much like come join the fun side for wit for me like oh yes yes people have been

00:20:32.460 joining the right as you see more and more over this election cycle and you see this in this thing

00:20:36.400 especially among young people it's becoming every generation the young vote moves further and further

00:20:40.280 to the right for the last election cycles you have this oh my god they're actually really fun like

00:20:45.600 their events aren't numerous and i think that when this side won last time there was a group of lefties

00:20:53.440 who are like we are gonna like buckle down and we're gonna be the rebellion and we're gonna be

00:20:59.440 fighting in the background to make sure that you know the country stays our democracy stays everything

00:21:04.440 like that and i think that there is a portion of the semi-dedicated left that when the call to this

00:21:11.620 happened this time around they're just like but there isn't actually going to be people being dragged

00:21:17.880 from their houses unless they're illegal immigrants i should just go join the fun side oh it's no longer 1.00

00:21:23.980 racist to be a trump voter oh it's no longer homophobic to be a trump voter like what why am i fighting

00:21:29.620 this so hard and if the girl whose videos we used earlier in this video ends up watching this this is

00:21:35.280 what we would say to you

00:21:36.400 there's room on the fun side for one more no thanks look i've been thinking maybe if you gave this place

00:21:47.200 a chance i don't know you might even enjoy yourself

00:21:50.580 it's him who is it it's the pizza man who the heck do you think it is yes can i help you

00:22:09.120 can i come to the fun side 0.97

00:22:11.360 make your pardon you know i've been kind of a jerk marty i'm sorry 0.89

00:22:19.380 welcome to casa del wild take a load off 0.97

00:22:24.720 alex

00:22:27.400 me casa is sue casa

00:22:29.580 very impressive

00:22:33.120 hey have a drink it's on the house

00:22:36.360 this is seawater

00:22:39.620 oh you don't swallow it let's check this out

00:22:44.120 would you look at that it's like billions and billions of helicopters

00:22:52.600 and i think that there has been a shift in part of the community that's just like wait i can be

00:22:59.000 on the winning side and it's fun and they'll accept me which is something that i think a lot of people

00:23:06.000 didn't feel for a long time because the left in this country hasn't been accepting you can join it you can signal your alliance but they'll still chew you apart the moment that you show any degree of independent thought as we see from like jk rowling jk rowling is as far left as you can get on every single issue she's a left icon she's a core point of every leftist life and yet they turned on her just because she wouldn't say men or women

00:23:32.000 like how do you like how do you there is there is no room for negotiation at all within their faction you are a slave to the hierarchy or not

00:23:41.760 but i think that this also explains where the huge mental health problem on the left it comes from

00:23:47.540 where the really huge problem was just absolute doomerism because even when they win

00:23:53.400 there's still nothing to be hopeful about and your own side no matter how high you rise could turn on you at any instance

00:24:01.120 why would you not have a constant state of severe anxiety and self-hatred if you surround yourself with this level of toxicity

00:24:09.160 hey dad i'm calling from my history class so who was president when you were a kid

00:24:14.020 oh i don't know i guess i think about killing myself pretty frequently and why not

00:24:18.100 what's so great about living you know when i'm happy for about five seconds in the morning when i first

00:24:23.700 wake up before i remember who i am and what my life is all about anxiety disappointment i don't i don't know

00:24:31.880 if there's an afterlife but who cares nothingness couldn't be any worse than this meaningless march

00:24:37.820 through my empty days but the other thing i've noticed i think it's really interesting is and i think

00:24:43.700 that blue sky might have actually facilitated the vibe shift really you mean just by removing

00:24:49.120 themselves from most of the mainstream conversation it's more than that it's like they were all staying

00:24:55.240 on twitter until the election night like you had a million new years of the blue sky again a day like

00:25:00.620 for the seven days after the election night but so the question is is like what's happening there

00:25:04.800 why didn't they move to blue sky before this and i think it's because they believed that they were still in

00:25:12.580 control they believed that the right was just being elevated on x because elon was artificially

00:25:20.000 elevating the right not because the right outnumbered them not because the right had more enthusiasm

00:25:24.980 not because the right actually controlled the cultural zeitgeist and when the election happened

00:25:30.880 in the same way that when rome fell and byzantium like the the the kingdom you know the western

00:25:39.380 roman empire sorry the eastern roman empire being run out of byzantium and so a lot of the elites

00:25:44.520 in rome fled with all of their gold and jewels and everything like that to live out the larp of a

00:25:50.340 still existing roman empire in this new camp capital of byzantium that is sort of what blue sky is 0.93

00:25:57.140 the urban monoculture controlled online environment basically collapsed and any argument they could have

00:26:05.920 even to themselves that they still controlled it collapsed and so if they are going to larp living in a world

00:26:13.020 where they're still the dominant faction they need to actively and aggressively create the larp for themselves

00:26:21.480 and i think that's what we're seeing with blue sky it is a larp of an earlier time it is to me

00:26:29.060 very very very analogous to the cargo cults of the trad people who are like oh i'll dress like you know i i 0.61

00:26:36.360 see 1950s people dress in hollywood movies and it will recreate the culture of that time they have this

00:26:42.900 culture of like 2017 twitter that they're attempting to recreate through a larp with the belief that through

00:26:50.160 like some form of sympathetic magic this will be recreated in society if they can recreate the larp that

00:26:55.760 people will go to their community even though they actively ban like half the people who try to go

00:27:00.020 that's what i'm what i also at least was getting from that one young ladies video was this perception 0.94

00:27:07.100 that now we have to build our own sub communities our own little safe spaces but like also literal safe

00:27:17.980 spaces like one thing that she was talking about in her video she was talking about was the importance of

00:27:21.880 creating sort of offline safe communities of mutual support stockpiling abortion medication

00:27:29.520 but also stockpiling things like water filters because she argued that many of these things were

00:27:35.020 imported and that they wouldn't be able to get good water filtration in the future because everything's

00:27:41.880 going to go crazy and they'll have to monitor food quality together because the fda is not going to

00:27:48.160 work anymore things like that so maybe there's also this feeling that they're now just going to form

00:27:53.260 break off societies and go off the grid because this new world is too hostile to them no i we are lit

00:27:59.680 to releasing you know el degeneres left the country finally where did she go i don't know but they're

00:28:05.360 they're actually living this right now and it's really interesting where for a long time and in our

00:28:10.740 redeemed zoomer podcast we talk about this they worked to try to infiltrate and corrupt mainstream

00:28:19.200 and conservative organizations so historically it would have been let's see if we can corrupt x let's

00:28:25.660 see if we can make x our little playpen and now it's oh my god retreat retreat retreat we need to create

00:28:32.780 our own bubbled spheres because this isn't working anymore and i think across the board within many

00:28:38.260 organizations if you're in some big organization and you're like can i push out the wokes now is the 0.98

00:28:43.500 time to go on the offensive you can now okay and it might be one of your only shots to do so but the

00:28:51.480 wokes are willing to retreat now and feeling the need to retreat now they are seeing the rates break 0.93

00:28:58.240 and they are looking for this is why you have people like you know joe scarborough for morning joe going

00:29:04.320 to mar-a-lago to kiss the ring this is why you know we were seeing this across the board the other

00:29:11.100 big place where i think we've seen something really wild happen is in the perception of mainstream media

00:29:15.260 there is now a perception that the mainstream media and it's weird it was like on election day that this

00:29:21.920 happened and we've done a few videos on how few people read the news how few people but i think

00:29:25.660 people when when contrast it was podcasts yeah it was like you know whatever but i think now everyone's

00:29:31.560 like oh yeah joe rogan won the election for trump camilla may have had a shot had she gone on joe 0.94

00:29:37.360 they are now saying oh joe rogan matters more than cnn oh joe rogan matters more than msnbc

00:29:43.840 oh there's about three or four podcasts that probably matter more than these entire networks

00:29:49.180 yeah i think the the first thing that happened when trump was elected in 2016 was a crisis of faith

00:29:56.540 that was then further deepened and during the pandemic when just there were so many flip-flops on

00:30:04.220 policy of how to stay safe masks not masks vaccinate whatever and then there's some i'm trying to figure

00:30:13.520 out exactly what it was that shifted with this latest one but i think what it was was that indeed

00:30:17.800 like basically at this point we all collectively realize that functionally speaking the audiences are no

00:30:25.900 longer reading the new york times they're no longer watching cnn or msnbc they are distributed among a

00:30:36.260 series of podcasts and youtube channels and sub stacks and that is where reality is being shared and i

00:30:45.860 think that is the fragmentation of reality there's no longer this like the media like the bbc declares this

00:30:53.520 reality so we no longer we we've entered an age of split reality which is i i think is kind of scary

00:30:59.900 because it's going to be harder for people to to interact on like a shared foundation you know people

00:31:09.460 are going to come in and have lunch and you know even friends who went to the same high school you know

00:31:14.600 who knew each other for a huge portion of their lives are going to see each other and and one is going

00:31:20.640 to assume that well everyone understands that like you know red dye 40 is going to kill you or like

00:31:26.620 seed oils are bad and the other person is going to be like what are you talking about you know like

00:31:31.380 that i've never heard of this so people are just going to have these very different priors and

00:31:36.560 foundational beliefs and i don't know how we're going to navigate that as a country well i'm going to

00:31:41.860 go over some statistics and anecdotes that i found pretty interesting okay this is from a fortune piece

00:31:46.620 talking about the vibe shift and i thought it was pretty interesting she said at an event over the

00:31:50.500 summer where i knew the vast majority of attendees to be socially and politically progressive a woman 0.98

00:31:55.340 pulled me aside and told me she needed to talk to me about something slightly concerned i asked what

00:31:59.640 it was regarding trump she said oh god i thought has she been offended by one of my columns she then

00:32:05.780 uttered six words that have been ringing in my ears ever since the thing is i love him this woman

00:32:11.780 who considers herself staunchly to the left on the political spectrum went on to tell me what it was

00:32:17.180 about donald trump that she found so compelling his quote-unquote punk her words outsider status

00:32:22.680 his funniness the fact that he's unafraid to say what he feels his anti-war anti-establishment stances

00:32:29.660 and it's true like this people find that very appealing to break from the narrative

00:32:37.940 you'd be like he is so punk well he was he started out on the left and there's a bunch of people in

00:32:44.440 the new trump administration who are from the left yeah tulsi gabbard hey like this is a truly

00:32:51.000 inter-party alliance yeah yeah so it shouldn't it should not be surprising to anyone that a lot of people

00:32:58.780 who are currently identify as leftists are excited about the new administration and it is disappointing to

00:33:06.980 me that already doge is seen still as like something that democrats need to oppose when

00:33:13.340 really we one we all need it we need it desperately and two like this supports many of the left's

00:33:20.620 values this should not be partisan in the first place well and and so here is an interesting some

00:33:26.820 interesting statistics here this time around only 48 percent viewed trump unfavorably compared to 50

00:33:32.620 for harris his favorability ratings meanwhile rose from 36 when he went in 2016 to 50 this time around

00:33:40.720 so he went from a 36 favorability rating to a 50 favorability rating 50 of americans view trump

00:33:48.780 favorably that's pretty amazing that is wild yeah republican surged from just 10 before the election to 35

00:33:58.380 afterwards the proportion of republicans feeling hopeful rose significantly with 76 expressing hope

00:34:05.460 about the state of the nation compared to only 29 of democrats democrats in stark contrast the

00:34:10.920 democrat sentiments declined before the election 38 of democrats felt satisfied with the state of

00:34:15.360 affairs this dropped to 24 post-election feelings of fear and anger have increased among democrats with

00:34:21.720 73 now expressing fear about the country's direction and over half feeling angry i think this is what we see

00:34:27.920 which is the the vibe shift has been one of oh the online environment may be at the executive

00:34:36.860 level controlled by ultra wokesters but that's only because they were afraid and in our video about how 0.99

00:34:45.100 corporate america went woke we're like honestly i think it's because they're a bunch of conformists

00:34:49.140 who buckle at fear of being canceled or fear of pushback and i think after an entire year of embarrassing

00:34:57.200 let's just say successful right cancellations of things like the acolyte of things like concord of

00:35:02.840 things like the executive class of these companies is like i don't want to be embarrassed like this

00:35:08.280 anymore they are coming for us and doing it successfully and i'd also note here that there has not been a

00:35:14.040 successful right-wing cancellation and about well since elon purchase x and we've noted this before but it's

00:35:20.860 really important to note that there is not another platform that is suitable for cancellations and with

00:35:26.620 the woke's moving to blue sky it gets even harder for them their advantage was being able to create the

00:35:33.060 perception among people who weren't ultra wokesters that the ultra woke opinion was the mainstream opinion

00:35:40.100 and that is what having all these blue skyers on x allowed them to do the normies aren't leaving x it's the

00:35:47.140 wokesters that are leaving x and so now the wokesters can't influence the normie opinion of

00:35:52.380 what is normative in the way that they did historically and as such the perception of what

00:35:59.200 is normal and by the way just so people understand this like when we did the numbers on this you had

00:36:03.900 for x it was something like 257 million daily active users on blue sky even with all of their rise

00:36:12.080 it's like 3 million and and that's up from 1 million just like two weeks ago which seems to

00:36:18.580 be a temporary boost due to the election you might be thinking here wait blue sky has less than one

00:36:23.660 percent the daily active users as x on a normal day and even with the boost from the election cycle

00:36:30.180 it still only hovers at around one percent of the daily active users why is everyone saying it's growing

00:36:35.480 so much i could have sworn i saw numbers that were bigger than that and the trick that all those

00:36:39.340 articles are using is they are comparing the daily active or monthly active viewer users on x to the

00:36:45.660 total accounts on blue sky which is a very different thing so they are completely isolating the community

00:36:52.900 that used to astroturf these messages to the extent where people who used to hang out on twitter a lot

00:36:58.100 go to blue sky and they go oh i recognized all of these people as former famous people on twitter from

00:37:03.240 before from like x many years ago when the culture wars were happening and because and people are

00:37:09.500 like what do you mean you can't cancel people on other platforms what are the can you cancel on

00:37:12.860 someone on facebook no can you can you cancel someone on instagram not really the only other

00:37:19.840 most platforms have moved in a direction of there not being a centralized discourse whereas twitter more

00:37:25.680 still has ux design that's oriented around that everything else is highly siloed like you're in

00:37:33.360 your own little tiny community everything's sort of user-based but i think now people finally realize

00:37:37.600 we've had so many attempts over the past year and they've just you know dennis dennis nuisance that

00:37:43.380 from jurassic park just nobody cares like especially with the guardian oh by the way and we now know why

00:37:49.000 the guardian left twitter and some people were like oh this is a sign that elon is anti-free speech so

00:37:54.320 what elon did is he made it so that any post that has a link on it is deprioritized in the algorithm

00:37:59.120 which really hurts news sites because news sites use that as like their bread and butter with their

00:38:04.260 twitter account and some people are like oh this how is this a bad thing if news sites are predominantly

00:38:10.000 a disinformation campaign and twitter notes is working really well if you just post the information

00:38:15.740 in a tweet and it is working spectacularly well so much so that people like how can you say twitter

00:38:21.600 notes is working well it even fact checks elon and i'm like that's how you know it's working well

00:38:27.440 when the when the king yeah seriously there's no clothes and somebody's walking around with a sign

00:38:32.460 like the king doesn't have any clothes yeah so everyone knows yeah that's when you know the kingdom's

00:38:38.260 working well yeah so the that explains a lot i would say people are still kind of being canceled but

00:38:45.520 it's more like only self-cancellation is possible so all the coverage that i see now of like people

00:38:52.140 face planting is because they've handled their own comms really poorly or they've done something

00:38:57.620 really shitty no no but i've seen this on two occasions they were both the right canceling the

00:39:02.360 left and it was on youtube or the left canceling the left no there's some prominent scenarios recently 0.80

00:39:08.700 of celebrities kind of canceling themselves i mean mr beast kind of cancels themselves ariana grande is

00:39:14.160 kind of canceling herself right now they're but these these can't one who is in gossip girl like 0.92

00:39:18.600 cancellation took place on youtube and required the youtube algorithm to work and it's very different

00:39:25.320 from the old type of cancellation two other good examples of cancellations that happened this way

00:39:29.720 was the in praise of shadows cancellation where he tried to cancel somebody who he windagoon who he

00:39:34.820 saw as right-leaning but was very centrist with a bunch of spurious accusations that were just like

00:39:39.440 insane lefty nonsense and then the other cancellation was illumina uh illumina hottie has had her career 1.00

00:39:46.760 completely dusted but both but again i think maybe these i just don't think either pencil i mean also like

00:39:52.720 katie perry but these are people who just have i was kidding she released a couple bombs of songs like just 1.00

00:40:01.400 have it hasn't been great with public appearances and and released it like basically feminist coded 1.00

00:40:09.920 material that was really not feminist and people weren't having it and it was just not great but 0.89

00:40:16.560 again it's just like people not really handling the debut of something well like also the i can't remember

00:40:22.080 her name but like the this actress who was in this movie about abuse essentially was she like flubbed the 1.00

00:40:30.520 promotion of it saying like wear your florals bring your girls and she like wasn't taking it seriously

00:40:35.520 that this is the movie about breaking the cycle of abuse she she face planted but like i think that's 1.00

00:40:40.960 not cancellation anymore that's just like that's a poor release okay well then i'm i'm pushing back on

00:40:45.840 you there have been successful cancellations the two events that i mentioned and i'll say three yeah

00:40:50.480 those are yeah those well i don't know but were were they just people behaving dumbly and getting

00:40:55.100 no they were cancellations it was a media cycle a social media cycle that if the social media cycle

00:41:01.040 had not happened their careers would be intact they would still have followers they would still have

00:41:06.000 online platforms they would still have a job they would still have a future in their industry of choice

00:41:11.680 do you find cancellation is like basically a social media cycle like a wave of content about that person

00:41:19.000 being bad yes but more than that it is a an event that prevents an individual from working any longer

00:41:26.920 within a particular field due to a social media cycle but these cancellations function very different

00:41:33.080 from the twitter cancellations the twitter cancellations were people engaging with them because they

00:41:38.420 wanted to hurt other people when you look at the cancellation of a lumahati or you look at the cancellation

00:41:43.840 of in praise of shadows or even mr beast people were watching the videos about the cancellations

00:41:50.460 because they enjoyed watching bad people's lives be destroyed i did not algo promote the lumahati videos

00:41:57.840 or the in praise of shadow videos because i wanted because i was like trying to elevate and help these

00:42:05.720 people be canceled like on twitter it was like oh we got a signal boost this to ensure this person loses

00:42:10.640 their job whereas in these instances the individual is being canceled in every single one of the

00:42:15.720 instances was an influencer and it was the the influencer cycle that reacted against them and blew back

00:42:24.100 against them none of them okay so it's different when they're a star because it's not people eating

00:42:31.940 their own no it's it's different because it's part of the social media content cycle and the things

00:42:39.520 that's leading to the promotion the reason why in praise of shadows life being destroyed ended up

00:42:46.560 trending on youtube ended up being in a cycle of really well performing videos is because it was

00:42:53.080 very satisfying to watch okay when you had something like dongle gate do you remember dongle gate when

00:43:00.560 like two men at like a conference oh my gosh yes it was like super innocuous yes yeah two guys sitting in

00:43:07.400 the audience of like a talk at a conference said something about dongles yeah they were in the

00:43:11.740 audience somebody overheard them and decided to ruin their lives get them fired for their jobs etc

00:43:16.380 the problem being that that this wasn't entertaining to watch anyone who's like a sane person is like

00:43:23.840 these are two basically random people having their life destroyed for nothing well then i think so we

00:43:28.060 have to differentiate between like so that that form of cancellation i think is more like the original

00:43:32.840 red scare you know where people were sort of like flagged as communists whether or not they were

00:43:37.460 the reason why dongle gate worked the reason why some of the original gamer gate nonsense worked i'm

00:43:44.840 talking about like the anti-gamer gate nonsense was that people was in their social communities thought

00:43:49.680 they could earn points by attacking basically innocent people they when they were contributing to the

00:43:56.520 cancellation when they were posting this stuff on x they were posting it with the hope of it raising

00:44:02.260 their own status it wasn't like people watching something or engaging it because they enjoyed

00:44:08.060 watching somebody's life be destroyed because they're a terrible human it was them engaging was it

00:44:13.960 because they thought it would increase their own status was in this leftist hierarchy

00:44:18.680 it's a completely different mechanism of action okay that makes sense yeah because in one it's just

00:44:27.460 people gossiping and then in the other it's people like pulling others down in the hierarchy because

00:44:34.120 they view it as a zero-sum game and they're fighting their way to the top yeah like crabs in a bucket

00:44:38.780 okay yeah all right i get you all right love you simone fun to talk about the vibe shift during this

00:44:45.660 particular conversational loop i noticed it very severely in my daily life it's been pretty interesting

00:44:51.500 it feels incredibly refreshing i think one of the most important things to remember with the

00:44:56.340 vibe shift is we can not make the mistake that the left made the core reason the leftist agenda fell

00:45:02.580 is because they one made up fabrications about what the other side was doing and did not punish people

00:45:08.620 for spreading them uh like the thing that we talked about earlier in this two they had a woke faction that

00:45:14.760 was attempting to impose their cultural value system on others and people didn't stomp that down

00:45:21.640 on the left the left needed to end that because the right i'm not genuinely going to try that stuff

00:45:28.260 because it's just such good ammunition for us the woke insanity helps our cause we don't need to police

00:45:35.360 that when somebody on the right goes around and says your body my choice the right needs to be 0.97

00:45:40.640 saying that person's a ridiculous buffoon and doesn't represent us and the right has done that 0.93

00:45:46.840 very successfully in a way that the left didn't we just need to not become complacent with this stuff 0.98

00:45:52.660 note here i'm not talking about the originator of the phrase who clearly meant it as a joke

00:45:57.840 i am talking about the fans of his who used it to harass women in public spaces and this is what we

00:46:05.200 saw on the left in the left when you would have these ridiculous protests and stuff like that that

00:46:09.880 were the ultra far people that were really just doing this to attempt to hurt other people

00:46:14.360 when you would have people banned from platforms for silly reasons that ended up hurting their

00:46:18.720 livelihood they would never attack their malactors they would never say oh you ultra wokies you need

00:46:25.320 to rein it in because if they did then they'd be the next target the right doesn't have that

00:46:29.340 problem and it's important that we don't develop it or we will lose this position of cultural

00:46:33.940 hegemony really quickly ah i agree that's very reasonable all right love you simone have a good

00:46:41.380 day i love you too gorgeous

00:47:56.240 chopped onion and lots of red egg and coconut milk yeah yeah and we're gonna get a slurry out of it that i can

00:48:02.240 then use and reheat on many many days because you are cooking a lot this time this might be the biggest

00:48:06.480 one we've ever cooked yeah the pot almost overfilled that's okay it's just gonna take a while

00:48:13.360 i reset it by the way it was going to end in 20 minutes yeah well it only does 20 hour cycles so

00:48:18.800 we have to and then we yeah why isn't it made for longer cycles and do they not expect families

00:48:23.520 to cook food for like four days apparently not is that not something other people do maybe there's

00:48:29.040 a food safety issue why a lot of people don't do it probably but let's not ask i don't know i'm

00:48:34.560 really like getting on board with this whole like being chill about food thing i was talking with

00:48:40.560 this woman at hereticon about her her food and she does like fermented foods and sourdough starters 1.00

00:48:48.480 and she was talking about her sourdough starter and i'm like how can you travel so much like

00:48:52.400 people act like it's a pet like you have to feed it she's like i don't know like if it gets crusty i 0.82

00:48:57.760 just scrape off the top and it's fine and it's been like going for years and so okay like maybe we

00:49:03.920 can all just relax a little bit about food i mean not not i mean i like the cautionary tales that you

00:49:09.200 share with us about food poisoning that actually kills people but that just seems to be rice and pasta so

00:49:14.640 just is that the silent killer use rice and pasta yeah speaking of which i need to get rid of the

00:49:21.520 fried rice sitting in the fridge but i was thinking this morning about something that made me think

00:49:28.880 differently about how people should contextualize themselves like their attractiveness

00:49:33.360 so i was thinking about how like every time i look in the mirror or i see myself on camera

00:49:37.440 i just cringe which is why as soon as i make sure like you have your lighting set up i switched to

00:49:41.680 instagram so i'm not looking at myself and if i switch back i have to like kind of just try to

00:49:47.360 look only at you but i realized that no matter how like deformed or ugly you may technically be

00:49:59.120 you are someone's type and realizing that you are someone's type can make you feel kind of good about

00:50:05.280 yourself like yeah christian if you're like that's not true about everyone yeah christian just got

00:50:10.800 someone pregnant so yeah and like i i'm i may find myself repulsive but i'm your type and i should 0.99

00:50:19.040 feel really good about that and then there's this secondary knock-on effect of that is once someone

00:50:23.680 actually feels good about themselves and and realizes that they're super hot to someone then they're

00:50:29.440 confident and that confidence on its own then like catches this whole other set of people and

00:50:35.760 is very attractive and appealing independent of your actual physical morphology so really everyone

00:50:41.920 should just recognize that they're someone's type own it be comfortable in their own body be

00:50:47.840 comfortable with themselves know that someone out there like a subset of people is going to find them

00:50:52.560 super hot anyway and that confidence will also make them super hot to like another 20 of all people

00:50:58.000 and so that is the approach that should be taken to the way that one views oneself and maybe if i can

00:51:05.120 impart that on any of our self-conscious teenagers once we have them i will be doing them a world of

00:51:11.200 good because i grew up i mean i think i think there's also this thing where like you are your own type

00:51:15.840 malcolm like you've never walked by a mirror not been like wow hello um but i look by a mirror and i'm

00:51:22.000 like oh like what are the odds that the person that you're their type is also that you're also going

00:51:28.080 to want to like marry them or be with them you know this is yeah but my point though is that there are

00:51:32.000 two types of people as well one finds themselves attractive and then the other maybe there's an a

00:51:37.760 group that finds themselves neutral and there's another group that find that finds themselves

00:51:41.680 repulsive but just because you find yourself repulsive doesn't mean that you are repulsive to

00:51:46.880 everyone else and i think that's another yeah you may not be your type yeah and i'm i'm not my type

00:51:52.000 you are your type but i am not my type and that is also interesting to me i'd also point out that

00:51:58.320 really high profile people who generically are thought of as some of the hottest living women 1.00

00:52:04.000 have said that they thought that you were incredibly attractive and so i am some people's

00:52:09.280 type and that should make me feel good like i should be confident about my appearance because i know

00:52:14.320 some people find me hot even if i think i'm repulsive like i would not bang myself but i would

00:52:20.240 bang other people i would bang you and some people would bang me including you which is amazing so 0.84

00:52:25.760 everyone should think about that that should be their self-care of the day i think that you're being 0.95

00:52:31.120 delusional because you're one of those women who actually is traditionally attractive like trying to 1.00

00:52:35.120 act like the internet says i know the internet says i'm a four slash three depends on probably the

00:52:40.240 angle being taken that insider photo so it's a three but again you think i'm a it's so subjective

00:52:46.960 and that's that's the thing i was telling you the other day how like in regency era england

00:52:51.520 supposedly and you actually see this in the writing of books they describe a woman's countenance 0.89

00:52:58.320 not like her cheekbones or her facial symmetry what's a countenance it how expressive they were like

00:53:04.720 if they had very expressive faces so you know there are some people who just like don't seem to have

00:53:09.520 facial expressions like they're not they just kind of like have one one yeah face and that's kind of

00:53:14.480 always how they talk and there's other people who have like rubber faces that are like just and you

00:53:19.920 see like i think a lot of youtubers have like very expressive faces you know it's like all this huge

00:53:24.000 range of like i agree countenance is hot yeah and so but it was but that's but that's the thing is

00:53:29.840 like in regency because you'd think like well at least like western culture they all think that one

00:53:34.400 thing is hot and then like eastern like maybe there's these group hotness there's a huge

00:53:38.480 thing for ankles in men for like a long time like that was like a really oh yeah like well

00:53:42.720 ankles were hot in men longer than abs were hot in men let's put it down i have an intuition that

00:53:47.520 that's a myth because i just haven't really come across it in the like literature however count again

00:53:52.960 like there was this era in which facial expressions were the thing that was hot like they weren't looking

00:53:57.600 at their like waist hip ratio they weren't they were looking at how expressive women were so that's

00:54:02.560 interesting anyway being what are you are you a creeper oh no are you gonna get me

00:54:07.920 what are you gonna get me we got fight back we got the tough guys we got the strongest boys 0.95

00:54:21.280 we got the video dancing whoa it's a dancing dancing yellow sneak creeper

00:54:35.520 there is so much more

00:54:45.520 i want to see the video
