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.

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.
00:00:32.200
We are here because BIPOC women have tapped us in
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?
00:02:08.580
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?
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.
00:03:21.360
because the organization is run by a black woman.
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
00:05:35.500
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.
00:29:10.720
and she told me that white women did need to come
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
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
00:29:41.180
presidential candidate it hasn't happened the bad news is that a majority of white women repeatedly
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
00:30:09.980
voting bloc and historically they voted republican she says because women have believed that the white patriarchy
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
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
00:31:35.420
them are single lower rates of marriage interesting and why are why are single women more likely to be
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
00:32:07.820
american history and when they went away from traditional religions they were caught up much more in these
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:40:10.840
takeaway on this it's cold it's a cult i love you simone have a wonderful day you too
