Summary
In this episode, we discuss why the Black Lives Matter movement is more than just a protest against the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, and why she's not a black woman. We also talk about why the Democratic Party is more racist than ever, and who is really the voice of Black people.
Transcript
00:00:01.900
They think the Democrats need to open a primary
00:00:05.120
at the convention and are angry that Kamala Harris
00:00:13.140
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:28.720
our fictional black people that are telling us to do this.
0.98
00:00:32.200
We are here because BIPOC women have tapped us in
1.00
00:00:45.920
or God forbid correcting them, just take a beat.
00:00:51.820
It brought back to me a feeling of anxiety and rage
00:01:08.440
and doing this menial thing that nobody needs to do.
00:01:12.980
The Democrats today are the party of Professor Umbridge.
00:01:29.260
I am very excited to be introducing this episode
00:01:31.600
because I, as a white woman, just watched Delayed Basis.
00:01:42.480
Wait, the entire four hour or whatever call you watched?
00:01:55.200
Imagine if there was like a Trump campaign
0.98
00:02:08.580
when it's connected to things that are pro-Democrat.
00:02:27.300
You know, what do you call a white woman rally for Trump?
1.00
00:03:04.080
and, like, you know, don't speak over black women.
00:03:07.280
And all of this is, like, about hypothetical black people.
0.70
00:03:21.360
because the organization is run by a black woman.
1.00
00:03:29.380
Well, yeah, because what's BLM's stance on Kamala Harris?
00:03:34.920
They think the Democrats need to open a primary
00:03:45.000
that Kamala Harris had been authoritarianly slot in.
00:04:01.000
I don't understand why they would be opposed to her.
00:04:08.940
Isn't repenting what the woke movement is all about?
00:04:12.720
An inability to repent is what the woke movement is about.
00:04:25.800
like, Republicans have reduced it to talking points
00:05:01.080
because she wanted to secure the endorsement
0.67
00:05:35.500
And so then they went to Kamala Harris' office,
00:06:49.080
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:43.820
i watched black women instantly mobilize to
1.00
00:27:51.220
whether white woman could and would do the
1.00
00:28:35.100
their rocker like white women for harris was
1.00
00:28:53.500
delusional world and completely dehumanizing
0.99
00:29:08.920
black women and i wanted to get her counsel
1.00
00:29:10.720
and she told me that white women did need to come
1.00
00:29:14.080
together in community to do the work because our work is very different we are starting
00:29:19.120
at a significant deficit white women in america make up over 40 percent of the electorate
1.00
00:29:25.120
we are the nation's largest voting bloc but since the 1950s most of us have voted
00:29:30.320
for republican presidential candidates in all but just two presidential elections despite repeated
00:29:36.620
predictions before every single election that white women might shift toward the democratic
1.00
00:29:41.180
presidential candidate it hasn't happened the bad news is that a majority of white women repeatedly
1.00
00:29:47.180
vote for republicans because too many of us believe consciously or subconsciously that it is in our
00:29:52.460
best interest to use our privilege and our support systems of white supremacy and the patriarchy
00:29:57.340
to benefit us what confused me yeah is is at one point shannon watts on the call notes that white women in america
00:30:04.540
make up over 40 percent of the electric that they're the large sorry electorate that they are the largest
0.96
00:30:09.980
voting bloc and historically they voted republican she says because women have believed that the white patriarchy
0.98
00:30:17.820
is their best way to privilege and that now they have the power to discover that the white patriarchy has to be
00:30:25.020
taken down i was surprised to read that women historically have voted republican it's not what i would expect i
00:30:35.340
would expect that they would always vote in the more progressive end of the spectrum because they are the
00:30:39.100
empathetic on average more empathetic gender well i mean remember we've gone through multiple party
00:30:45.580
realignments throughout the history of this country and republicans i mean i think always have
00:30:52.380
been at their core is they are the anti-authoritarian party and women i think generally historically wanted
00:31:01.740
to put the power in the hands of their family right that was the goal to be able to make the decisions
00:31:07.500
for their family that they wanted to make this idea that women are now democratic is only the case
0.85
00:31:13.340
if you're talking about single women if you divide society into groups married men singled men married
00:31:20.780
women single women the only one of those four groups that majority votes for harris and not trump is
00:31:28.220
single women and what has moved women into this democratic state is that just many many more of
1.00
00:31:35.420
them are single lower rates of marriage interesting and why are why are single women more likely to be
1.00
00:31:41.420
pro-democrat is because they want the social services that previously were handled by the family structure
00:31:47.420
you know who cares for you when you're old it's your kids you know who is the person you rely on when
00:31:52.060
you get sick it's your husband but now because they don't have any of that they needed a state to be
00:31:57.100
handling all that for them but i'd also say that just this memetic virus of the urban monoculture
00:32:03.020
historically women were always the more spiritual group they were always the more religious group in
0.86
00:32:07.820
american history and when they went away from traditional religions they were caught up much more in these
0.66
00:32:14.780
cults than men were and these cults appealed to them in terms of like just total brain hegemony
00:32:22.140
more than they did to men is my read of what's going on there yeah like that makes sense i yeah i still
00:32:31.820
found it quite surprising and i mean hey but this is a meaningful voting block so it matters and that's
00:32:38.220
one of the reasons why i'm so interested in megan dom's unspeakeasy retreats of women obviously it's
1.00
00:32:45.100
not all white women but i feel like women as a voting block are often misrepresented online because
00:32:52.540
they're not necessarily the most active online participants and at least normal women neurotypical
00:32:59.420
women and they are a large both consumer and voting block so they their choices matter a lot but
1.00
00:33:08.140
it's hard to get what's going on in their minds i guess you can by just going on instagram and seeing
00:33:12.780
what their lives are about but in terms of what they believe it's harder for me to understand the the
00:33:19.980
final point i wanted to make about all this has been really shocking for me is the way that the democratic
00:33:27.100
talking classes have like whiplash shifted between different major talking points recently so when
00:33:34.380
you're going over this with me this morning i found it really notable how quick opinions were to change
00:33:40.540
and i think a lot of it's because the mooring point for people isn't truth or reality it is whatever you
00:33:47.180
have to believe and you see this in the white women for harris call whatever you have to believe that
00:33:53.580
is more likely to reduce the odds that the other side wins so if it looks like harris is running well
00:34:01.180
then she's the best woman ever if it looks like biden is running then he's sharp as a tack if it looks
00:34:07.180
like he just decided to step down well he's our next generation's george washington but that this self
00:34:13.180
censorship and this this intentional manipulation or memory hauling is a product of believing that the
00:34:23.020
alternative that would come from any other belief is too dangerous even if it may be true so i think
00:34:30.620
there's this interesting concept of of dangerous truths and normally that comes in the cons like in
00:34:36.300
the in the context of state-based censorship or totalitarian regime based censorship but in this
00:34:42.940
case it's urban monoculture based censorship so that the call is coming from inside the house it is the
00:34:48.540
memes that run our brain that are telling us you literally can't believe this you don't have to
00:34:53.660
believe this new thing and so seeing it come it's it's a it's an endogenous change that's based on
00:34:59.660
someone's being ruled by this particular culture that's really interesting to watch because normally
00:35:05.820
you expect to see this kind of creepy reality shifting only happening because people are like
00:35:10.460
like someone's gonna shoot me in the head if i don't toe the line well i mean so you the way you
00:35:17.020
said it to me this morning that i found so powerful is you're like it was so weird to have like the
00:35:22.860
entire demographic democratic party being like biden's the best biden is totally mentally stable everything's
00:35:27.980
good blah blah blah to we really need to do something about biden to now of course biden shouldn't have
00:35:34.460
been running and kamala harris is the best candidate ever and we don't need to be holding any
00:35:38.460
the no more thought about this it's so and and before a discussion of kamala being kind of a weak
00:35:44.080
running mate and a liability yeah a lot of people when they were like talking about bringing biden
00:35:48.460
down they were like yeah they're like well who else and this is an opportunity for us to get someone
00:35:51.840
really great there was so much excitement about anyone who wasn't biden harris yeah oh we could we
00:35:58.840
could get something new we could get something new pretending like this never happened i mean it reminds
00:36:03.180
me of what happened during covid where they're like if you wear a mask you're killing people because
00:36:08.420
the masks need to go to doctors yeah and then how dare you not wear a mask you're killing us right
00:36:13.380
now this this whiplash like and i remember at the beginning where they're like well masks aren't even
00:36:19.060
relevant for lay people and they don't even work yeah they don't even work and then it was the exact
00:36:24.440
opposite and it was like what i do you are you like dory from like finding nemo like do you not
00:36:32.160
remember that two weeks ago or like well we need to flatten the curve it's just you know two weeks
00:36:37.760
two months a year and a half it's like what what like we've all just decided to take after
00:36:44.180
our current president biden who who just radically wakes up every morning and has somebody tell him
00:36:50.140
what's happening that day but no this this another thing that really got me is the democrats have been
00:36:55.640
attacking republicans for their disjointed attacks on harris where they're like oh they don't have like
00:37:00.040
a common theme in these attacks which shows that they don't have any real attack and it's like
00:37:03.840
no it's that they're actually human beings with diverse opinions and not like have little radio
00:37:11.720
antennas in their head they get beamed to them whatever the current talking point is and then
00:37:16.600
they all just repeat it like robots like it it right now if you if when i talk about like the memetic
00:37:24.500
virus people may underestimate how literal i'm being with that if you talk about this ultra urban monoculture
00:37:30.400
people these ultra progressives you you watch a call like this it's exactly like those ants that
00:37:35.840
get infected with a fungus and it like eats out all of their brains all of their innards and their
00:37:41.080
entire life just becomes about spreading that fungus they stop caring about anything else they go out
00:37:46.060
there castrate their own children they are just about climbing to the top of a vine or a stick and then
00:37:53.280
having their head split open and the spores spill out into the air because that is all that their lives
00:37:59.960
are for anymore spores from a parasitic fungus called cordyceps have infiltrated their bodies
00:38:07.000
and their minds its infected brain directs this ant upwards those afflicted that are discovered by the
00:38:15.280
workers are quickly taken away and dumped far away from the colony it seems extreme but this is the reason
00:38:22.400
like something out of science fiction the fruiting body of the cordyceps erupts from the ant's head and
00:38:30.160
when finished the deadly spores will burst from its tip the fungus is so virulent it can wipe out whole
00:38:37.500
colonies of ants and it's not just ants that fall victim to this kill hound the more numerous a species
00:38:44.440
becomes the more likely it will be attacked we are fighting a fungally infected brain eaten zombie
00:38:54.020
horde against the forces of ideological and cultural diversity because they represent the antithesis of
00:39:02.060
that and we we need to fight like the lives of our children to depend on it because they really might
00:39:08.140
at this point or you could say i'm overstepping you're always the one who like dial things back
00:39:15.240
you're like malcolm you're being a nutter after watching this call
0.97
00:39:18.220
i i wonder if maybe i'm being too too moderating in my analysis did they did they really feel like a
0.88
00:39:28.420
cold to you or was that just me it felt it very cold it felt very cold like yes i was a little i was a
00:39:35.200
little creeped out by it just a tiny bit and i love when the progressives try to like say like oh no
00:39:40.820
trump rallies are a cult and i'm like no that's enthusiasm that's genuine human enthusiasm like
00:39:47.840
it's like they've never wackos on both political sides so here i'm gonna come in moderate simone's
0.99
00:39:52.980
gonna come in there are wackos on both sides and everyone's an asshole so it's it's choosing if you
0.99
00:40:02.460
want the giant douche or i've heard sandwich you disagree with me yeah i i just what is your final
0.99
00:40:10.840
takeaway on this it's cold it's a cult i love you simone have a wonderful day you too
