00:00:00.000 as far back as i can remember i always wanted to be
00:00:07.720 blood satellite so what's going on oh well it's wednesday and it's not it's not even that cool
00:00:24.960 don't tell them what day it is i don't need them to know when we're recording oh shoot okay you
00:00:28.780 can edit it out you can sense i don't need them to know my moves it's october 2024 i don't want
00:00:37.460 i don't i don't want the streets knowing what i'm up to by the way everyone i mentioned this
00:00:44.120 on the last real secret coffee hours message received i'm no longer crowding the mic there
00:00:51.160 was a lot of vocalization concerning the last live stream we did uh accusations of wet mouth
00:00:59.960 tony soprano breathing all kinds of nasty things wicked that's not good um i'm not going to sit
00:01:08.760 here and justify myself to you jackals you're leaning leaning back in the in the chair staring 0.88
00:01:15.880 at milfy's knees breathing through your mouth just heaving as i'm driving see what i was always
00:01:25.680 trying to do is judas always leans way back from the mic yeah far too relaxed during the episode
00:01:32.860 he's kicking back and so i try and show him how it's done very passive aggressively you understand
00:01:37.860 yeah so i'm gonna show i'm gonna show him how an audio is supposed to because i can't i can't hear
00:01:43.000 myself so for all i know yes a few points here he can't hear himself um he can't hear the
00:01:50.140 difference between either of us and he does not listen to the show afterward and by that point
00:01:54.120 it's corrected by me laboriously so this was just uh whenever you got it it's called the horseshoe 0.70
00:02:02.520 theory of passive aggressiveness where it just fucking loops right around and knocks all of my
00:02:06.960 own teeth out perfect so that's a great start to the episode here's another great start hey
00:02:13.200 the jelk store called and uh that's uh that's it's where where you hang out outstanding
00:02:20.600 i left my card there but i didn't think they'd actually call me i'd left my wallet at the jelk
00:02:27.280 store like you lost it no no i left it there like i thought they could hold on hold on asking a
00:02:33.220 sort of hold on your wall for you is such a good
00:02:35.140 bit.
00:02:37.960 Hey, can you hold on to this
00:02:39.140 cash? This cold hard cash
00:02:41.320 for me.
00:02:42.980 Thank you, Mr. Rabinowitz
00:02:45.000 of the Jelk store.
00:02:48.880 Of course. The only good
00:02:50.880 franchise in town, by the way.
00:02:52.980 There's a few Jelk stores and there's one good one.
00:02:55.740 The rest of them are losing
00:02:57.040 their shirt. One of them is actually just
00:02:59.100 shawarma. That's just
00:03:00.760 branded. They're branded as a Jelk
00:03:03.160 store it's a j-e-l-k store like just it's this is a fucking chinese ash warmer place 0.99
00:03:09.960 what the hell that reminds me this is such a dumb story but this was a long time ago 0.98
00:03:18.600 and it was me and snipe and we were in montreal and we went to an arab pizza place gross like 0.98
00:03:27.820 such a travesty.
00:03:31.460 Such a travesty
00:03:32.780 in front of God and everybody.
00:03:35.080 And they served us
00:03:36.580 like dog food pizza.
00:03:39.560 Here's the problem
00:03:40.500 with going to any Arab place.
00:03:42.220 They serve you with scorn.
00:03:44.260 You know what I mean? They're very upset
00:03:46.340 that you're there. They have nothing but disdain
00:03:48.500 for the customer. I think some people
00:03:50.400 think that's charming.
00:03:52.100 I think some people think that's anti-capitalist. 1.00
00:03:54.220 They say, yeah, fuck me for buying this. 0.96
00:03:55.880 i think they think that it's charming or they must i mean i i and it's it's not even just 0.99
00:04:01.640 in retail i've worked with guys arab guys who are like that and that's just what they're like
00:04:07.600 and it's like do you think you're you're you're five foot six and you're built like a rake do
00:04:12.280 you think that it's cool that you're just constantly bitter and angry and like grumbling 0.99
00:04:15.940 under your breath like nobody likes you man you're i fucking hate these people it's it's so funny 0.98
00:04:21.540 that you always hear about these types of people where it's like if you're their employee they 0.99
00:04:26.200 treat you like a slave because that's how they understand their culture yeah but what they don't
00:04:30.980 tell you is they also treat the customer like a slave and their boss like a slave and they just
00:04:36.580 treat everyone like slaves which is a great thing to do if you don't have slaves and you don't know
00:04:43.160 how to control slaves yeah it's like you can't just treat people like slaves if you have no
00:04:49.020 experience in it yeah i'd be such a good slave owner yeah you'd be the best man i feel like we
00:04:54.200 had this conversation seven times over the course at least at least once a year usually around
00:04:58.380 christmas once once a year around christmas we're talking about how great we would be at owning
00:05:04.120 slaves assuming that we would have a plantation of many slaves and not just a guy with a few
00:05:11.600 you know what if i had slaves i wouldn't call them hubby you wouldn't no that's just
00:05:18.660 who does that help it's demeaning it it breaks the relationship in some way so what what do we
00:05:26.160 what is this you know the arab guys they call everybody habibi oh they do yeah okay i don't
00:05:33.440 know that i don't know them that well you don't know is that like baby i don't know what it's i 0.99
00:05:38.640 can't tell it's like it's somewhere between baby if it's a woman and like a little bitch if it's 0.71
00:05:44.160 to a guy but i don't know i'm not eric all i know yeah let's yeah yeah yeah yeah that's what it is 0.98

00:05:53.360 bubby yeah yeah there it is it's like uh it's demeaning i hate it yeah what would our version 0.96
00:05:59.300 of that be buddy yeah you know what i think it's like buddy because you know buddy can be anything
00:06:05.300 depending on the way that you say it and like what you do with your face and your hands when you say 0.98
00:06:09.060 it it can be really insulting it's the fucking thing these are all kind of the same type of 0.99
00:06:14.020 word buddy bb habibi yeah yeah i don't like this yeah are we arab now i don't like this 0.98
00:06:21.560 this is how we get back to talking about atlantis is that we're talking about civilization seeded by
00:06:27.600 you know like one race so we got some other updates from the chat i don't know how we got
00:06:35.180 here but i just want to read it as is let's go i'm giving it to your raw so i think this was
00:06:39.780 involving ted lefaro he posited i said let us pray it's lettuce pray right right and then what
00:06:48.220 if instead of let us pray they said lettuce hitler he said that'd be wild thanks thanks ted
00:06:57.480 and then from there we went to romaine catholic yes and then everyone's fired on all cylinders
00:07:06.700 right now we've got a crack team in the chat i forget who came up with it might have been 0.81
00:07:11.180 ted might have someone else and said i'm more of a rape romano catholic the died version of rape romano 0.97
00:07:25.180 oh hail mary full of grace my lettuce is wilted i can't rape 0.98
00:07:36.700 oh man i love this show i'm never gonna stop doing this i'm never gonna stop being me
00:07:44.040 i was there for that one that was great that was the dad of the night
00:07:46.840 did you do the wojack test i did do the wojack test yeah i think you posted that people don't
00:07:54.460 know because we're grown men entrepreneurs family owners things and we're still doing
00:08:03.360 these tests that you do in high school that women would do in high school yeah so you fill out answer
00:08:08.940 questions it gives you your personality so there's one for wojack what type of wojack are you and
00:08:15.220 there's wojack the yes chad head soy jack doomer girl psycho npc those are two separate ones trad
00:08:24.920 wife and then chud jack yeah there's way more out there and i don't know why he threw in the
00:08:30.520 women there but that would just confuse everything i would yeah but so okay what was your do you
00:08:37.860 remember your results let's say like the two primary ones yeah i found mine i'm on 96 chud
00:08:44.100 jack and 85 yes chad and 65 psycho that's wild but i'm also if i'm also 57 doomer girl which i'm
00:08:53.940 not very happy about it but no one is zero percent the girl everybody's got a little bit of that 0.92
00:09:00.740 bitch every yeah which is which is what women have been saying a lot on social media men have 0.97
00:09:06.960 the divine feminine within them but to be equal parts trad wife and doomer girl i don't know what 0.99
00:09:14.320 to make of that yeah that's what i i realize that i'm the same triad i'm like chud chud jack
00:09:22.840 psych 100 chud jack by the way nice 100 chud jack 71 psycho there you go and then 50 yes chad
00:09:34.600 so a little little bit heavier on psycho heavier psycho and just all out chud jack and what i
00:09:42.560 noticed was everyone in our community was taking the same test and we are all the exact same type 0.51
00:09:47.600 of guy yes yeah everybody in there is chud jack and then either a little bit of psycho or a little 0.98
00:09:52.340 bit of yes chad it's like chud jack psycho that's like fucking every like 10 guys i saw take this 0.95
00:09:57.940 test like this is great i don't know what this is but i love it i don't think it was a very robust
00:10:05.580 test though there were some questions on there i can't imagine anyone answering i think one of the
00:10:11.340 one of the questions was like i i find sitting down with a good soap opera or daytime television
00:10:19.300 to be a really good use of my time it's almost phrased sarcastically it's like strongly agree 0.96
00:10:24.780 strongly disagree like come on come on with these fucking questions man well the hard part is the 0.97
00:10:30.060 one that's obviously for a woman it's like i love going to the farmer's market on sunday 0.99
00:10:35.600 i understand that's a woman question i also like doing that i think i also said yes yeah
00:10:41.080 i won't turn that down that's not getting two thumbs up that's it's not getting the gray
00:10:46.140 middle thumb one of them was i need a strong partner to provide for me
00:10:51.740 come on come on i mean first of all i don't need it but if my wife was a billionaire like 0.85
00:11:00.560 would i be like divorced i don't think i would that might be nice right if your wife was a jacked
00:11:06.860 billionaire if my wife was a jacked like seven foot billionaire but everything else is the same
00:11:12.900 and and and she was that tomorrow not that she was that the whole time i woke up and she was that
00:11:19.800 i'd be like you know what we built something together here and i think if you just shower
00:11:24.680 a billion dollars on top of it that's that would make it better yeah all right because if she's
00:11:30.520 also jack she's probably high in testosterone she's gonna make her insane and that will that's
00:11:35.120 a good way to be with a billion dollars yeah you don't want to be normal on a billion if i can get 0.99
00:11:42.280 her on cocaine we're doing so much cool shit unstoppable we're buying fucking sea dudes just 0.99
00:11:49.300 to smash them with hammers they never even dig them in the water you just gotta smash them in 0.99
00:11:54.480 the garage all right here's so fun i read the news of many people have read that elon musk who
00:12:02.940 has been the richest man in the world for quite some time now is now according to i don't know
00:12:10.080 people people on a keyboard that he is the richest man in human history
00:12:14.700 something to the tune of 600 billion dollars um i i don't know how you would calculate that
00:12:21.740 you don't back to mesopotamia i don't know how you calculate that to like the king dynasty or
00:12:27.440 whatever but i keep that in mind every time i see him on x and he's resharing a post someone says
00:12:35.040 which can be summarized as uh they're they're murdering white people and they're laughing at it
00:12:41.040 and he would just write wow and look i'm not looking for handouts i'm just thinking if you
00:12:47.920 if your net worth is 600 billion dollars you must have some liquidity that's pretty impressive
00:12:55.600 can you just put a few million behind stopping every time you say wow every time you say someone
00:13:04.240 should do something what if he just threw some pocket change at him that pocket change is 10
00:13:11.320 million dollars i find a guy find a guy to make that make sense for you i mean i agree i do agree
00:13:17.580 but at the same time i sound naive of course because a small amount of his wealth is liquid
00:13:22.500 the rest of it that's not liquid the the value of that is effective day by day by the decisions that 0.97
00:13:29.020 he makes with the liquid portion so if he goes out and does some shit like this you gotta know 0.92
00:13:33.820 that tesla and everything else might not tank but it'll affect i think it'll affect it i just don't 0.58
00:13:39.740 think it'll affect it negatively i think like when he's when he's i agree i agree i think if he's
00:13:45.660 already kind of testing the waters and i'm taking this seriously now if you if you went out and he
00:13:50.460 started like trying to solve like white families and he made it about white families but but it
00:13:57.020 was actually about families it wasn't about like kick the browns out it was about like i'm going
00:14:01.100 going to help white families i think he would he'd be a trillionaire i think that it would actually
00:14:07.140 boost him because by him going out and speaking on these issues as he is even passively if that
00:14:14.940 does not negatively affect the stock price because for many ceos it would if the ceo of ge went out
00:14:22.260 and said this yeah it would fluctuate the price people are kind of used to it now and i think it's
00:14:25.580 pretty steady over time regardless of what he says that that's almost him testing to see if
00:14:31.660 he could just allocate some money to being like oh hey i read that popular article about how dei
00:14:39.580 was stripping white men away from positions of power let i'm gonna try and reverse that you know
00:14:45.980 what that might that might actually help his position in stock we're not even thinking about
00:14:49.900 the real the real gotcha here soros and the adelson's and all these like they know very well
00:14:56.380 how easy it is when you're that wealthy to you have public donations that are made publicly
00:15:01.340 because you want to reap the the public you know the the social benefits of that donation and then
00:15:07.580 you have the other 99 of it which is done through you know shell companies and uh non-profits and
00:15:13.260 ngos and whatever else there's no reason he couldn't be doing that and he probably is doing
00:15:17.100 that right it's just that and now i have to assume the fact that he's almost certainly doing that
00:15:22.220 because they are all doing it he's almost certainly doing it but we don't know what he's doing it we
00:15:26.700 just know that he's not doing it for us which means he's doing it for somebody else but not us
00:15:31.660 so you know this this ties into something i was discussing on the last real secret copy hours
00:15:37.740 which is our paywall show you can find on gumroad and patreon people check that out i was reviewing
00:15:44.140 a sub stack by this guy that we actually both met i think i always get his name wrong it's like ajr
00:15:50.220 clop or yeah um anyway he writes this really great sub stack very successful guy he's a business
00:15:58.220 owner he's got like four degrees or whatever uh great guy to talk to he was at the last event that
00:16:04.380 we held and um he was the title was where all the right-wing billionaires i'm paraphrasing the title
00:16:11.660 here and uh like i've done in the past i just i keep going back to that data republican
00:16:18.140 graph that we were reviewing which was tracking how all these ngos and non-profits and
00:16:25.020 you know government organizations even how many where the money flows into them how much
00:16:29.740 taxpayer money flows into them and a lot of people were using that to see how many of these shady
00:16:35.500 groups are taxpayer funded but i'm less interested in that because you can also track just how
00:16:40.940 generally money flows right so that's how a lot of this happens because you're wondering where
00:16:46.620 the right-wing billionaires where's our george soros well our george soros i'm sad to say
00:16:53.420 is peter thiel right he basically functions the same way right he's very public figure everyone
00:17:00.140 knows that he's throwing money around in these grooves and that's what he's there for but that's
00:17:04.220 not most of the money and he made a good point in the article by saying that you know we have
00:17:08.460 a couple billionaires in our space and they've invested in magazines and websites but it's only
00:17:13.820 to the tune of like a couple hundred thousand here or there and so i said yeah well that's
00:17:18.860 the thing all any individual is ever going to give you is like a hundred thousand dollars which
00:17:24.460 sounds like a lot of course but over the course of how long right but you're you're you're imagining
00:17:30.220 that the relationship is just one-to-one that they're i'm going to find a billionaire he's
00:17:34.300 going to pay me but if you look at the entire ecosystem as it exists you have the billionaires
00:17:40.300 or the multi-millionaires and what they all do and this this is how it works for the left this
00:17:45.580 is how it works for liberals is they put all their money into one big pot like an investment fund and
00:17:50.860 then whoever's in charge of that investment fund sends it to three other organizations those two
00:17:55.100 other organs three to two other organizations send it to two more and then it goes to antifa
00:17:59.820 uh you called it a shell game that is basically what it is but at the end of this you really only
00:18:05.840 have four or five people involved in this entire thing but it's just moving money from one black
00:18:12.000 box to another black box and you can pool the money from i called them yellowstone conservatives
00:18:18.940 versus you know like your average shit lib you know who ends up funding leftist causes but they
00:18:26.400 know it what they're doing is they're putting a charitable donation into a place that is for 0.94
00:18:32.880 social good that's basically how they understand it they might even understand it goes to leftist
00:18:38.080 or progressive stuff they don't know much more than that you know more than that but that's how
00:18:43.840 the money combines into one giant blob and then gets sliced up and distributed for plausible
00:18:51.440 deniability in one sense but it's also to diversify your portfolio you know i mean like
00:18:56.880 but if you want to look at how to get money you have to figure out how to infiltrate or harness
00:19:02.080 that ecosystem it's less about just finding a rich guy to invest in you because it's probably
00:19:09.440 not going to be that much and you really need to like imagine i imagine pitching your thing to just
00:19:15.600 a guy they want to know a very strong roi right whereas if it's just these funds given other funds
00:19:22.640 you can just run some and get money you know what i mean uh which is what they do and then it
00:19:27.840 goes to antifa then it goes to you know the american communist party whatever the it is
00:19:34.320 so you could do that but it involves people doing things they don't want to do which is
00:19:39.440 is figuring out how to set up these organizations
00:19:42.100 and then figuring out getting good at handling money,
00:19:46.180 which no one wants to do.
00:19:47.400 Yeah.
00:19:47.980 There's a bit of a, there's that,
00:19:49.280 I don't know, I forget what you call it,
00:19:50.340 but like the nature of our elites,
00:19:52.740 like the sorts of people to whom setting up
00:19:56.520 like a shell game of nonprofits and NGOs
00:19:59.740 is second nature, right?
00:20:01.200 And it's not us.
00:20:02.200 It's the people that have been in that class
00:20:04.840 for their whole lives,
00:20:05.960 or maybe multiple generations, right?
00:20:08.200 like the people who work for an ngo and their mom worked for an ngo these guys they not only do they
00:20:13.760 know how to set this up but they they swim in this every day for us it's not only do we seem to 0.77
00:20:20.560 largely have a moral problem with it because it's so fucking dishonest but uh we just don't even
00:20:26.100 understand it like you're trying to put the pieces together in your head how does this even work does 0.94
00:20:30.540 that even work i'm told that it works i can't i can rotate a shape in my head but i can't actually
00:20:36.720 map how you would do that and not go to prison but somebody knows how to do it yeah i mean none
00:20:43.360 of it's illegal either like all of this is well it's illegal if you fuck it up it's illegal if
00:20:48.360 you do it wrong you know there's a lot of like you're really honestly you're really threading
00:20:52.940 the needle because with with non-profits and ngos you do have mandates that you have to follow right
00:20:57.500 unless i'm misunderstanding that but you can't actually just take people's money and do whatever 0.83
00:21:01.720 fuck you want you can't literally fund violent crime which is what soros does when he funds 0.87
00:21:06.760 antifa you're paying people to go and burn a police station the way it would work i understand 1.00
00:21:11.720 is to get people's money and they give it to one charitable fund that you know supports progressive
00:21:16.760 causes then they give it to the second fund which is a bit narrower in that it's for direct political
00:21:23.240 action which is still legal but it would be like we we do postering and flyer campaigns and just
00:21:31.320 Just, you know, things in the street, which, you know, people still think is kind of cool.
00:21:35.380 Then they give the money to another one, which is hooked into Antifa.
00:21:39.100 And then, or they would give it to Antifa.
00:21:43.360 They did this thing where they have these, because there are lawyers who are associated with Antifa.
00:21:47.720 There's actual professionals.
00:21:48.920 They will start their own collective, which is just a front.
00:21:53.140 And they give it to Antifa.
00:21:54.780 So at some point, you do have one place that's just a front.
00:21:57.700 but then they can once it gets there it's already changed hands enough times that
00:22:02.740 you could really only at the end of it get anti-fun treble or they're the the actual front
00:22:08.660 which has happened yeah but that's you know it's it's convoluted it's annoying and it involves
00:22:16.140 doing what no one wants to do which is sending a lot of emails and going to parties and going
00:22:21.760 to functions and conventions i hate functions so much and and networking no one likes networking
00:22:27.120 and then just being in the room with people and it's you know every so often you know i used to
00:22:34.320 do this more when i was younger and i don't do it now because i'm just set my ways but you would
00:22:39.200 you'd see you'd hear a story about someone who made a million dollars or you'd i you know i do
00:22:44.140 a lot of writing and so you'd hear about such and such a writer they made a million dollars and all 0.99
00:22:49.800 they produce is smut slop right it's those romance books that you turn out like the dumbest nonsense 0.98
00:22:56.820 you've ever heard um the one we had on our channel the other day it was like 1.00
00:23:02.160 the fucking hood rich bbw velociraptor 0.91
00:23:07.200 like you see that image and then you think it's a parody but then this book exists 0.99
00:23:13.420 a black guy written by a dude yeah yeah i i can't even imagine that that book would
00:23:19.120 be readable but apparently apparently doesn't anyway they would say that i'm like man i should
00:23:24.160 do that i should be the guy who invented the pet rock i should be the guy invented sea monkeys
00:23:29.740 but then you remember that none of these are passive pursuits you need to commit 100 of your 0.99
00:23:37.060 time to doing this this guy's got to churn out these books all the time that's his fucking job 0.86
00:23:42.000 you know he doesn't get an ai to do it and if you start i'm gonna start a company selling some 0.99
00:23:47.120 bullshit starting a company is not easy you're still working 12 hour days getting off the ground 0.92
00:23:52.960 setting up like contracts for like oh i'm just gonna get carried on 1.00
00:23:57.780 fucking the shopping network do you know how to do that you know how fucking hard that is 0.99
00:24:02.520 you know i mean so for some easy bullshit to pull that off that's still your career that's years of 1.00
00:24:09.680 your life right so to get good at doing some bullshit we always think that's just winning 0.94
00:24:15.740 the lottery so no that's it's a lot of work and then you you wake up one day and say this is my 0.95
00:24:19.980 life this is what i've committed my life to which is it's just a scam i could have been doing
00:24:25.920 something that adds value to the world or beauty to the world and i thought because a scam is
00:24:31.760 supposed to be easy i picked it in a highly difficult time intensive scam that's what these
00:24:36.740 people do i heard the stories about um there's a there's a show called entourage right i don't
00:24:45.980 if you ever you probably i remember that i didn't watch it but i remember it there is one of the
00:24:50.620 face on a true story and one of the characters and there was a guy named turtle sort of like
00:24:55.460 the wigger of the group and uh the real life counterpart of him he it was responsible for
00:25:02.760 churning out those late career bruce willis films where he was already demented he was already 0.99
00:25:12.480 losing his mind he's very they cgi'd half the shit he was in uh they were piping his lines in 0.98
00:25:19.440 through an earpiece so he was just like repeating what he was saying like he was gone but the guy 0.99
00:25:25.620 who played turtle i forget his fucking name but he's just like this is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna 0.87
00:25:29.840 be the guy i'm gonna i'm gonna crank out these bruce willis movies i'm gonna do them on the cheap 0.97
00:25:34.540 but i'm gonna get him he's gonna make like 90 the budget's gonna go to him but i i know based
00:25:42.160 on this template of device that we can make a 20 profit on every single one if we make them cheap 0.98
00:25:48.080 enough right you look at that and say wow what a cool scheme until you realize that's his fucking 0.92
00:25:53.820 life that's in his biography that's what he spent like five to six years of his life doing 0.97
00:25:59.660 trotting out this you know alzheimer's show horse and creating movies that nobody likes
00:26:06.460 nobody's proud of everyone's pissed off making them it's a it's a shameful exercise you know
00:26:14.420 what i mean but it's just like you you read it in the story and say you know what that's a good 1.00
00:26:18.940 grift i love a good grift there's no good grift it all fucking sucks it's your fucking life it's 0.99
00:26:25.840 your career you chose this instead of plumbing have you seen go look at one all these people 1.00
00:26:31.120 he dismisses grifters realize that they're still streaming for nine hours a day i mean it's
00:26:35.120 survivorship bias right because some of the guys that we i mean a lot of the people that we point 0.98
00:26:39.080 to when we call grifter they're wealthy they're making a lot of money on their fucking grift
00:26:44.580 so there's an impression that you know it's good money but you're correct it's not most people that 0.96
00:26:51.160 are full-time grifters are like it's like most people who are full-time on only fans you're not
00:26:55.140 making any money you're ruining your life you're gonna you're gonna die young probably of suicide 0.73
00:26:58.960 because only fans is such a great comparison because it's the same thing saying like you 0.82
00:27:06.540 know what she made a million dollars just showing her butthole that's so smart i could do that oh 0.96
00:27:15.180 my god that's so smart and then you end up showing your butthole for two wooden nickels 0.98
00:27:21.680 it was worth more as a mystery 1.00
00:27:26.600 it was it was you know what you had schrodinger's ass and you could charge you could charge more 1.00
00:27:35.000 money to guess if you had an ass and then you showed it and removed all doubt should have 0.99
00:27:40.600 anti-only fans where people donate a small amount each month each each month to women they like 0.99
00:27:46.260 who don't show their butthole and reverse prostitution but it's it's not like a moralizing 0.55
00:27:52.600 thing it's you just take these posts and you rub them in the face of the only fans horse who're 1.00
00:27:57.500 only making two dollars like this bitch made 800 bucks this month from just smiling for the camera 0.93
00:28:03.320 and not showing her but i'm sorry old friend but i can forecast this getting very pear-shaped 1.00
00:28:09.720 yeah imagine you go around to whores and prostitutes and you pay them to stop being 1.00
00:28:15.380 whores pay them all the money they want take the night off fuck well what do i do say whatever you 1.00
00:28:22.700 want you know what they do they get on social media you know what they do they start a band 1.00
00:28:28.760 shit you remember the pussycat dolls that's what happens when a bunch of prostitutes get paid 1.00
00:28:35.340 not to suck dick did we actually save ourselves here by just paying all the dumb whores to suck 1.00
00:28:40.500 dick yeah yeah if we could if maybe look if we accelerate only fans can we get women out of the 1.00
00:28:46.700 workplace could we actually get rid of hr by making them all the only fans perhaps our most
00:28:52.280 controversial proposal ever on this show it's like can we get women out of the workplace by 0.94
00:28:56.760 just making them all prostitutes like we've been going the wrong way on this you're talking to a
00:29:05.280 girl in the office she's like oh my god my friend makes so much on only fans you should try it 0.98
00:29:09.260 you should quit.
00:29:10.660 You should do that.
00:29:12.600 All they've needed this entire time is for men to agree with them.
00:29:15.220 We've been fighting them the entire time.
00:29:16.980 So you're not going to be happy.
00:29:18.580 You're going to really...
00:29:19.360 No, just do it.
00:29:21.360 See what happens.
00:29:22.520 It's not going to work, but you should do it.
00:29:24.020 You should quit your job.
00:29:25.320 Hey, I'm a millennial.
00:29:26.400 We invented this thing called YOLO.
00:29:30.120 You only live once. 1.00
00:29:31.240 So that just means, yeah, go be a whore forever. 1.00
00:29:35.680 It's not hard to trick a woman. 1.00
00:29:38.040 What should I do? 1.00
00:29:39.060 you should be a prostitute really yeah okay woman moment we got a lot of shootings to discuss nice 0.99
00:29:51.540 gotta bring it down i got a couple um one i think i've gotten into more than a few debates about 0.99
00:30:01.780 yeah with friends and colleagues other content creators and i didn't think i would i've been
00:30:08.260 i'm getting into arguments with people from around the world what what is this so it's the um hey
00:30:13.860 remember when the shooting in bondi yep bondi yeah i don't know um this would have happened
00:30:21.540 days ago right so australian i'm looking at the cbc right now just to refresh people's memories
00:30:28.900 15 people were killed in the beachside massacre dozens more were injured including some critically
00:30:35.460 an atrocity jewish leaders say was inevitable he's been talking very loudly and very clearly
00:30:41.060 this entire year for anyone who could listen that what started off with graffiti is going
00:30:45.460 to end up with bodies and it's exactly what's happened australian police suspect father and son
00:30:51.140 behind deadly mass shooting at hanukkah event here's what sounds like uh father and son which
00:30:59.380 i don't think we've seen since the dc sniper that's what i was gonna say it's like the dc
00:31:04.020 sniper yeah i think that that wasn't like a type of spree killer that you'd seen before i feel like
00:31:12.180 we just had lone wolf for a long time and then father and son which is charming yeah right like
00:31:21.660 that is kind of oh well yeah like you know just seeing a dad if you humanize them i got i humanized
00:31:29.920 the dc sniper a little bit just because it was kind of it was kind of cool honestly the way
00:31:33.880 what does it say that it's only the non-whites that do the father-son thing
00:31:37.580 um yeah we have a problem the real problem the real problem with the bondi the shooting is that 0.98
00:31:47.680 whites no longer have the family structure to take their sons on a killing spree they wants to zig
00:31:54.500 but we're gonna zag this is about pronatalism yes that's right you gotta take care of your kids 0.98
00:32:00.060 this is about busting um no but it's really i didn't notice that until we were talking about
00:32:09.080 it anyway putting that to the side uh hanukkah event that was attacked and uh of course everyone
00:32:16.220 has been inflamed by this it's very incisive right around the same time there was another
00:32:22.560 shooting two days maybe a couple days later one day later there's a shooting in uh brown brown
00:32:28.400 university and i believe i i don't think they have the shooter yet uh but there's this the reporting
00:32:37.760 on this was so strange i'm going to assume it's a muslim it is yeah do we know for sure well they
00:32:44.720 look they uh there's a they arrested no there's a there's a fat guy involved fat palestinian guy is
00:32:51.520 is the guy who was arrested. Yeah. And the university was scrubbing information of him
00:32:56.680 because he's an employee. He's one of their teachers. Yeah. Investigators are looking to
00:33:02.240 the public for help identifying a person of interest in a deadly Brown University shooting.
00:33:07.080 Providence police releasing new enhanced video showing the individual in the area as early as
00:33:12.300 1030 a.m. the morning of the attack. One, typically when we see mass school shooters,
00:33:18.380 they don't just stop and walk away right usually they keep going until they're apprehended by
00:33:24.120 police shot dead or they kill themselves in this case let me just stop you i should have been
00:33:29.400 clear she was the the number two person at the young republicans branch on brown's campus so
00:33:34.400 that's that's why that's why some people are concerned if she were targeted go ahead amber i
00:33:38.320 apologize right well and the other thing is if the police are telling brown students that they are
00:33:43.580 safe they don't have to shelter in place anymore but they don't have a suspect in custody
00:33:47.380 I think that also suggests that this was some kind of targeted attack.
00:33:51.620 And so the coverage of this one, so let's assume that it's two Muslims.
00:33:58.880 The suspect in the Brown University shooting and also the shooting of an MIT professor in Brookline, Massachusetts,
00:34:05.260 is 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente, a former Brown student and Portuguese national.
00:34:12.380 Nevis Valente was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound
00:34:15.540 inside a Salem, New Hampshire storage unit
00:34:17.340 while investigators were executing a search warrant trying to find him.
00:34:20.480 Now again, investigators say he is the suspect
00:34:23.320 not only in that Brown University mass shooting
00:34:26.380 but also in the shooting of an MIT professor.
00:34:29.760 They say they found on him, when they found him dead,
00:34:33.840 a satchel, two firearms, and additional evidence
00:34:37.400 matching what was at the crime scene.
00:34:41.600 We got one event, and that's why I'm framing it this way.
00:34:44.760 We got one event where they're shooting a bunch of Jews and had a Hanukkah event.
00:34:51.440 These are civilians, right?
00:34:52.920 Let's just say for what it is, it was shooting civilians.
00:34:57.300 I think a 10-year-old girl was shot as well.
00:35:00.080 And it was purposeful.
00:35:01.480 They chose that location.
00:35:02.940 It wasn't just happenstance that it was a Hanukkah event.
00:35:05.440 In fact, the shooter seemed to be telling other people to stay away because he wanted to shoot these individuals.
00:35:12.480 So it was a political thing.
00:35:16.000 I think you could say it's terrorism, but I think it was politically motivated.
00:35:19.340 But someone made a good point.
00:35:21.880 And I think I need to start with this because there's been a lot of right wing people who are upset about this.
00:35:29.640 And we can get to that.
00:35:30.720 I want to hear your feelings on it. 0.99
00:35:31.980 but just to start i saw this one post that was like uh yeah all all the motherfuckers who were 0.99
00:35:40.000 like let both sides kill each other when they actually start killing each other and then there's 0.99
00:35:45.020 like a face of a fucking baby confused or something and i'm like fair this is what we were saying about 0.99
00:35:51.600 the palestinian israel conflict i'm like just let them fucking nuke each other i'm like well 0.99
00:35:55.440 okay i guess that's that it is happening in a place that is undesirable but hey 0.96
00:36:03.480 enough said and on the other hand there's the brown shooting which it looks targeted to me
00:36:09.940 there's this uh there's two this is what was so strange about this coverage there's two individuals 0.99
00:36:14.800 who were killed one um this is her name is ella ella cook and this is a fucking 0.98
00:36:23.760 blonde haired blue eyed straight off the trad bitch calendar and she was the chair of the young 0.98
00:36:32.880 republican group in that that university and so she was like you know a charlie kirk-esque figure 0.98
00:36:39.520 and it seemed that the shooting was just targeting her and then the second person that was killed
00:36:44.300 was an American Uzbek student
00:36:48.020 named Makhamid Aziz Umar-Zurkov.
00:36:52.040 There he is.
00:36:52.880 So, you know, night and day.
00:36:55.920 And then you've got this other shooting. 0.71
00:36:57.660 It's like, okay, against Jews, 0.95
00:36:59.080 but then just white woman
00:37:01.780 seemed to have been targeted
00:37:03.160 probably because of her political affiliations.
00:37:06.000 So the reason I say this is because,
00:37:09.100 and I'm going to let you jump in in just a second,
00:37:10.880 but the reason I say this is because
00:37:11.860 people were focusing on the hanukkah massacre saying that you need to be on the side
00:37:19.240 of muslims you need to be on the side of the shooter and i'm just going to say and then you'll
00:37:25.720 give me your say my my feelings are at the low end apathy i don't care at the high end i might
00:37:34.980 even agree that well this is the consequence of israel's policies whatever it's it's pretty
00:37:42.340 simple actually uh you got to put your your uh husband or parent hat on here let's say uh your 1.00
00:37:49.080 neighbor has this fucking dog that shits everywhere and you hate that fucking dog and then one day 1.00
00:37:54.300 wife comes home drunk and she drives the the fucking suv at 110 kilometers an hour right up 1.00
00:38:02.700 over the lawn narrowly misses your living room hits the neighbor's house kills the neighbor 1.00
00:38:08.820 kills the fucking dog and she survives so first of all you are absolutely thrilled at the outcome 0.99
00:38:15.940 i am pete i am just i am tickled pink at the outcome of this event i am angry about the event 1.00
00:38:24.220 i'm mad that it happened i'm mad that something led to this i'm mad that my wife drives drunk
00:38:30.460 i'm mad that my car is ruined but i am happy that the dog is dead so you can do both at once you
00:38:37.460 don't have to pat your wife on the back just because the dog's dead likewise i still think 1.00
00:38:42.060 this should be a call to disarm all muslims and kick them all out of the fucking country i love 1.00
00:38:47.200 that am i upset that jews are dead no i'm glad that jews are afraid i hope the jews leave too 1.00
00:38:53.260 and if you can't hold both in your head at the same time i'm sorry you're not a serious person
00:38:57.760 and i don't think anybody should listen to your opinion yeah there's so much of this story that 0.78
00:39:02.780 we can take exception to i'm upset that there's muslims there owning guns in the country to begin
00:39:09.260 with these those guys weren't by the way they weren't even australian citizens they were on
00:39:12.520 uh student visas correct and i'm upset that they're having a hanukkah event yeah first of all 0.77

00:39:25.600 that's just for you while you also buy Chinese food on Christmas yeah you do like two annoying 0.98
00:39:32.020 things so like every element of the story I I'm frustrated by but I think that's the that's the
00:39:37.480 correct course of action um and I would agree with you despite this I was I don't know if you
00:39:45.300 saw this but I was getting into something of an argument with Eric Stryker on X a few people on
00:39:52.760 him he was fine um but by fine by his standards but his fans were they straight up accusing me 0.55

00:41:15.160 can let me be hyper mexican i'm taking that yeah so i got into and but i'm trying to be civil 0.95
00:41:22.740 because like anyone worth a damn i listen to strike and mike you know he's said things in 0.66
00:41:28.040 the past that i've agreed with i'm not trying to start some shit here but he did accuse me of being 0.85
00:41:32.520 a rightoid here's what happened so there's a guy named who i like named radical liberation he's
00:41:39.680 one of these guys who got into them recently and radical liberation uh popular creator in his own
00:41:47.700 right and you like him if you haven't seen him he was um he was a libertarian kind of an anorex guy
00:41:54.800 i've watched i've watched him a few times but he's also like nine kids like he's the guy he's
00:41:59.220 walking the walk fair enough but such a weird thing for a guy of that age and of that standing
00:42:05.080 to get into a show like
00:42:07.480 Warstrike later.
00:42:08.600 The libertarian to all right pipeline
00:42:11.260 persists.
00:42:14.660 But
00:42:15.260 he was parroting one of their points
00:42:17.420 and my
00:42:19.460 position was
00:42:20.900 years ago and still
00:42:23.420 is. While I
00:42:25.160 agree with and concede a lot
00:42:27.420 of what these people are saying,
00:42:29.000 if I had to pick a side between
00:42:31.440 Palestine and Israel, I'd pick
00:42:33.260 Palestine. Yes, yes, yes. I understand it.
00:42:35.080 israel is doing a genocide yes but i would say that you are accusing jews of deploying the
00:42:43.740 bioweapon of muslims and i don't think you can side with the bioweapon itself against those who
00:42:51.820 deployed it's just not going to work with people and that's why i say it's not going to work
00:42:54.840 for regular people and in america and canada especially in the uk because you know the recent
00:43:03.140 shooting the hanukkah shooting and even to a lesser degree october 7th these are really the
00:43:10.340 first attacks against the muslim community against the jewish community by muslims that i can really
00:43:16.660 think of every other muslim directed massacre that has befallen the people of britain france 0.98
00:43:25.380 america canada wherever has been muslims against white people up to and including the rape gangs 0.86
00:43:31.380 and there was jews available there were synagogues around there were hanukkah events all over the 1.00
00:43:39.420 fucking place they never did they only attacked white people they only raped white people they 1.00
00:43:43.820 only did mass stabbings of white people specifically white women they were targeting 1.00
00:43:50.320 white people up until just recently and we're supposed to say like well you know we they are
00:43:55.220 our brothers in arms i will i will not counter signal them standing up to jewish impression
00:44:00.620 Okay, yeah, look, I'm not going to counter-signal it. 1.00
00:44:02.740 If Muslims want to shoot Jews, if Jews want to shoot Muslims, yippee, hip-hop hooray. 0.99
00:44:10.220 However, what you're trying to sell people on is you, 1.00
00:44:14.640 what you're trying to convince people on is you must support Muslims before you deport Muslims. 0.97
00:44:21.720 As you're going to say, support Muslims now against the Jews, and then we'll deport them later.
00:44:24.680 I don't think you can get people to support something that they want to deport.
00:44:29.040 that doesn't work with their programming their operating system their values doesn't 0.93
00:44:34.160 fucking make sense unless you actually do support muslims which many of these people do and which i 0.96
00:44:40.560 don't and what is what does support even mean like when you're when you're saying support you're 0.99
00:44:45.740 saying we should get behind them and and what like like oh we should not deport them i guess
00:44:52.180 we should all go and protect madrasas that is actually where they won't admit it but that is 0.98
00:44:57.900 where that's it that's the only place it can lead what else the fuck do you mean by support 1.00
00:45:01.700 like unless you're you're a fucking twitter nigger and all you can think of is post shit on social 1.00
00:45:06.900 media but if you want to talk about real political sport why on earth would you put your neck on the 1.00
00:45:11.200 line for a group which is an invader which has as you said up till very recently only ever attacked
00:45:16.620 us and now that they attacked our enemy somehow by fluke we're supposed to go and protect them 0.97
00:45:22.420 are you fucking serious also they're not really ready for this but i don't accept that muslims 0.99
00:45:29.220 are terribly anti-semitic and i've said this before i'll say it again animals dude they just 0.99
00:45:33.940 they strike out they are this this is true but if you can accuse them of having any sort of 0.96
00:45:40.180 ideology like that i would say more than anything they're anti-western and anti-white and they
00:45:45.940 actually see they see jews as an appendage of whiteness and the west if you ask them they will
00:45:51.620 see israel is just an outpost of the american empire what they really hate is the american
00:45:56.620 empire i think they are temporary adversaries of the jews i don't really think they hate jews like
00:46:02.240 that i'm sorry to say guys and that's why whenever he's like zohar madami just to give him as an
00:46:07.540 example again here was the anti-semitic candidate here was the guy who was never going to be bought
00:46:12.920 out he gets voted in by a coalition of the third world in new york and what happens day two he
00:46:20.680 promises to eradicate the scourge
00:46:22.860 of anti-Semitism in New York, which
00:46:24.680 means you, which 0.97
00:46:26.740 means you white guy who's got 0.54
00:46:28.740 critiques of Israel
00:46:30.940 and also he elected a 0.98
00:46:32.740 Jewish tranny to his leadership team. 0.95
00:46:35.060 So you have to understand, like, these people, they don't, 0.98
00:46:37.120 you can buy them off. They don't
00:46:38.780 really believe any of this stuff. They're
00:46:40.360 brown fucking morons. I don't even believe they're terribly 1.00
00:46:42.720 anti-Semitic. I think
00:46:43.740 if you, I think just Jews 0.96
00:46:46.620 are being cheap. They just said it's 0.95
00:46:48.660 easier to kill them than buy them. You can buy them. 1.00
00:46:50.680 very very easily and they have and they will so i don't really see them even as real players 0.74
00:46:57.440 in this struggle jews and muslims are both long-term civilizational enemies of the white 0.98
00:47:03.460 christian world and if anything muslims are the bigger enemy if you look at war dead right like 0.97
00:47:10.580 we've never fought generational thousand-year conflicts against the jews the way that we have 0.90
00:47:16.500 against the muslims i it seems to me that the conflict between the jews and the muslims is a
00:47:21.380 post-war thing it comes from israel like how much of this existed before israel stepped in there and
00:47:27.840 decided to curb stomp their children for 75 years straight prior to that there weren't even any 0.98
00:47:32.360 fucking jews there they didn't have a problem with the jews they had a problem with us they've 0.99
00:47:35.880 had a problem with us for for literally since they since muhammad they've had a problem with 1.00
00:47:40.540 us for 1500 fucking years yeah well and let me say this just to continue down this uh path i'm
00:47:47.620 on explaining where i was coming from all i said was a i don't think this argument's going to work 0.94
00:47:51.620 on most people because it's very internally inconsistent and then of course striker comes
00:47:58.120 in and calls says oh why don't you go defend chabad why don't you go volunteer for that like
00:48:02.760 just saying oh why don't you go defend the jews i'm like okay look you don't need to know who i
00:48:08.460 am i understand you probably don't you don't listen to blood salad it's for cool people it's 0.51
00:48:13.200 for winners who kill but you understand you just read that and said oh yeah jewish guy that's a
00:48:20.580 jewish thing you're you're a jew or you're a groiper like they just assign titles to you and
00:48:25.880 i'm being pretty diplomatic here i'm like okay i could say a lot of things i could i could say a
00:48:33.180 lot of things because i know you and you don't know me that's what you'll say i don't know who 0.97
00:48:36.320 the fuck are you you know all this stuff about me yeah okay i know your exact height 0.98
00:48:40.140 but you know he was at some point he's like well just state your position then stop beating around 1.00
00:48:47.080 the bush i'm like i'm not beating around the fucking bush and that's when his friends started 0.98
00:48:49.820 saying like if this guy's jewish the mask is slipping and i said you know what bothers me 0.98
00:48:54.820 and it shouldn't but let me just state it now because i know you're all paying attention
00:49:00.040 And what you're doing is very interesting, ironic, one might say, because your entire position that I'm seeing them express is that Israel is genocidal.
00:49:12.720 And they are by any metric.
00:49:15.280 Of course, they are. 0.70
00:49:16.840 But I'm like, you guys are also genocidal.
00:49:19.960 and i said this and i said you are talking amongst people who not only want to destroy
00:49:27.980 israel but want to wage a genocidal war against the jewish diaspora right let's be honest i'm 0.93
00:49:34.920 like i'll see the mask slips i'm like no just fucking admit this what you want if it were up 1.00
00:49:39.320 to you if you had limited power you'd kill all the jews of course you fucking would you're not 0.99
00:49:43.280 anti-genocide and i said it's just ironic that you are leveraging this sort of post-war 1.00
00:49:50.260 internationalist moralism that was crafted by jews to make this argument for you but let's be
00:49:57.760 on like i'm like no one's fooled by it no one's fooled by this no one's fooled by the guys who
00:50:04.980 run a show called the daily show about how they're the anti-genocide guys you know no one's fooled
00:50:15.180 by people who openly call themselves nazis and who talk about how much they want to destroy the jews
00:50:22.360 forever that they're now plural pearl clutching about the morality of genocide like no one no 0.79
00:50:30.480 one buys it not christians not republicans not other nazis not jews not liberals not anybody no 0.97
00:50:37.740 one buys this so why fucking do it and and this goes back to your earlier point which is like you 0.99
00:50:43.500 know what can when you support muslims what do you mean support you mean financially because 0.99
00:50:47.920 none of them are they take selfies with palestinian flags but the palestines probably don't want
00:50:52.220 anything to do with you so so why are you doing this why are you pretending that you don't want 1.00
00:50:56.840 genocide just stop being a fucking faggot because everyone everyone knows what you are who you are 1.00
00:51:04.060 but more importantly what you are and so that that's just what frustrates me it's like no no 1.00
00:51:07.400 we're in fact we're the only moral people in the world like yes or no would you kill all every 1.00
00:51:12.360 single jew on earth if you had the chance if you had a button that said kill all jews would you 0.98
00:51:15.960 press it yeah you would so this is just like some sort of moralistic convenience that you're talking 0.98
00:51:21.560 about it again they'll say don't expose the game that we're playing yes don't counter signal them
00:51:27.380 we've got them fooled who's them you have no one fooled like we're at least we're at least being 0.94
00:51:32.020 honest you know but we're we're right out here it's like look the muslims are my enemies and i 0.99
00:51:37.080 want to destroy them i want to destroy my enemies i'm not apologetic about that the jews are also 1.00
00:51:41.820 my enemies i think we should destroy them i would be great i would love it if we could destroy our 0.99
00:51:45.940 enemies and be victorious and you're like how we go but the anyways it's just so funny it's a 0.98
00:51:53.200 woman coded and it's post-war coded so when when there's a shooting of a muslim father and son
00:51:59.580 shooting jews i'm like well that's what you get that's what we get that's what we all get for
00:52:05.420 living in this situation we've let it get here where the israel-palestine conflict is just taking 1.00
00:52:11.660 place next door so it's not an international conflict anymore it's happening in your fucking 0.96
00:52:17.940 parks yeah and am i allowed to dislike that i'm taking my kid to fly a kite and exactly yes the 0.99
00:52:26.420 muslim shooter is saying no no no don't come over here i don't want to shoot you i'm like i'm just 0.87
00:52:31.500 supposed to say thank you thank god thank god this one didn't want to shoot me and my children 0.98
00:52:36.080 right forget that the dozens and dozens of others where we were the only people who want to shoot
00:52:41.060 today i got lucky and because i got lucky i'm grateful because i'm so grateful i'm going to
00:52:46.600 become a muslim this is the type of insane knotted up dialectic that we're in right now i'm just like
00:52:53.620 i just i just don't like this am i allowed to dislike that in the canadian context it's like
00:52:58.700 the india calistan thing like do you side with calistan because india is so oppressive or do
00:53:04.040 you side with india because they're our great trading partner and they provide us so much
00:53:08.120 etc etc like how about i just want both of them to go back man i hate that we have protests and 0.97
00:53:14.100 fights and extortion and we have houses being fucking shot up i want all calistanis and all 0.95
00:53:20.240 indians to all go back i number one let's let's use that amazing example and i appreciate that 0.95
00:53:26.860 you said that to use the exact same components of what we're just talking about so it's like
00:53:32.200 someone will come to you and say so whose side are you on calistan or india and say what and you
00:53:38.380 would say what the heck are you talking about i don't i don't think it's like well obviously you
00:53:43.880 need to because one of these is jewish controlled let's just say india is india is corrupted by zog
00:53:50.660 there's more there's more jews that are controlling that and calistan they're the base nationalists
00:53:56.800 they're they're kind of like the ira isn't the ira cool they're in fact they're kind of like the
00:54:02.400 nazis they're indian nazis wouldn't you want to support them so honestly if you don't support
00:54:07.760 the calistanis you're helping the jews no joke that's what i'm hearing yeah it is though yeah
00:54:14.860 it's it's like we had a one of our one of our great listeners right-wing persian he was a
00:54:21.480 positive okay america might be going to war with venezuela i'm not sure about that from
00:54:26.680 one of the news i'm reading it i'm not are we looking at a boots on the ground war by we i
00:54:32.620 mean as outsiders in america but is america like doing a ground offensive in venezuela or is it 0.74
00:54:39.720 just blockades and sanctions and shit have you seen this at all or no yeah yeah are you asking 0.57
00:54:45.040 me i mean yeah yeah let's say you i don't i don't think they're going boots on the ground unless it 0.95
00:54:49.900 goes through congress because i don't i mean my understanding of it is the i don't they can't and 0.84
00:54:55.540 So if Trump did it, he'd be risking a lot by starting, not that Obama didn't do the same fucking thing repeatedly, but I don't know.
00:55:02.920 I just don't think, I don't think that's in Trump's playbook that we would do a ground war without running through Congress. 0.74
00:55:07.640 On Tuesday night, the U.S. president stated he is ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela.
00:55:16.480 Donald Trump said it's because the Maduro regime is using oil from these stolen oil fields to finance, among other things, drug terrorism, human trafficking, and murder.
00:55:26.700 It's not clear what he means by stolen, possibly referring to U.S. companies Venezuela nationalized decades ago, and which Maduro's predecessor increased control over.
00:55:36.680 Because, you know, he was our good friend, right-wing Persian, and he's like, well, in that case, in that example, what side would you take?
00:55:44.020 who do you want to win or lose and i had said something fairly controversial i said i don't
00:55:49.300 think america can 100 lose a war these days i don't think they like lost lost the war in iraq
00:55:59.060 or afghanistan yes they you could say they retreated they abandoned it but it's like
00:56:05.140 look at the other side like they utterly decimated an entire country and extracted
00:56:10.180 wealth of resources and complete like when america lose quote unquote loses a war the winner is worse
00:56:17.620 off than a loser you know what i mean like yeah america is so insanely powerful and so kinetic
00:56:25.220 about its business interests that it can deploy in the region i'm like even if you win you're flat
00:56:30.820 i mean if you lose if you win you're flattened basically so i'm like yeah america engages that's
00:56:35.940 the way i'm looking at it which is like you can't lose loops you're never going to like chase them
00:56:41.380 out and that like the cockroaches will be the ones who take over the country after and that's
00:56:46.420 a very cynical way of looking at it i'm sure but i'm like i don't see it as a win or lose there
00:56:51.860 you know because look at how many american interests are served like it's not just
00:56:57.300 seizing territory and resources it's all kinds of other administrative goals and shit to terraform 0.97
00:57:07.560 that entire country and that's how they operate anyway but he's like you know america is zog
00:57:12.960 so i want to see zog zog lose which means you he had said that i'm trying to be fair here because
00:57:20.780 i think it's an interesting point he was making and maybe he could make it to other people as well
00:57:25.980 and listeners you could ask yourself he would say that uh you seem to be unwilling to sacrifice
00:57:33.960 american lives first of all i'm not american but what right he knows that but let's just let's just
00:57:39.860 say we're all american you know in a sense we're all american he's like you need to be comfortable
00:57:46.380 with sacrificing the lives of white marines let's say in the interest of giving zog which is america
00:57:55.060 black eye watch them lose the fight and i just didn't like that framing you know i mean it just
00:58:01.300 like the bondi shooter it's like it seems that the soil this is all grown out of is white death and
00:58:10.100 white oppression it seems that you know for this cruel muslim versus israeli conflict to happen
00:58:17.220 we need to sacrifice our parks and also maybe my child's skull because i don't think he's that good 0.97
00:58:22.340 of a shooter you know i mean like is there any equation here that doesn't involve white people 0.99
00:58:28.340 being raped and killed i'm like can i have one and we were i was laughing about this imagining 0.96
00:58:36.020 adolf hitler in vienna serving the landscape of the post-war germany seeing it overrun by 0.97
00:58:45.540 communists and he describes this mein kampf and communists and jews jewish control and then he
00:58:53.300 goes and sees this little rinky ding political party that stands in opposition to it it's like 0.95
00:58:59.060 12 guys in the basement of a pub and he thinks to himself i hate germany i hope it's destroyed 0.94
00:59:06.980 because we have a zionist occupied germany and the only way to defeat the jews is for germany
00:59:13.060 to fall that's how we save the continent you know i mean just as one example because a lot of these
00:59:19.620 guys are hitler fans i'm like so like can you accept any solution this problem that does not
00:59:25.340 involve millions of white people dying just in the hopes that the jews will be chased into space 0.92
00:59:33.360 because there's only one guarantee that i'm seeing is that white people lose and i don't know like i 0.62
00:59:40.500 And I've circled back to my original argument, like that's not going to work on people.
00:59:44.140 People live in the real world.
00:59:45.320 People who remember what Muslims had done to them and their society that can see it every single day.
00:59:50.600 They're confronted with it.
00:59:51.800 It's in their face.
00:59:53.740 And this either or pick a team thing just isn't going to work.
00:59:57.660 And I'm not even trying to make a values or morals based judgment.
01:00:00.600 I'm like, it's not going to work.
01:00:02.840 You can try.
01:00:04.220 Go ahead and try.
01:00:05.940 You've been trying, but keep it up.
01:00:08.200 but if you're asking me as you're calling me a rightoid as you're calling me secretly jewish
01:00:14.920 as you're calling me every name in the book i'm a griper i'm i'm a patrick casey fan like
01:00:22.120 whatever the oh that that burns i gotta keep one of the other guys accused me of being
01:00:29.080 a huge fan of bronze age pervert
01:00:31.080 this guy saw the video like they just they went into my profile and did a search for like bronzy's
01:00:38.160 pervert saw the videos we did reviewing the book it's like this guy loves them this guy loves
01:00:43.360 jarvin i'm like i just wanted it to play out because i'm like okay keep going let's hear it
01:00:50.300 say more things what else do you based on what information you have what do you think i am
01:00:55.880 i'm like every type of guy to these people because they just know i'm not them yeah because i'm not
01:01:01.980 them because i'm not that very specific brand of multi-polarity not like nazi burned out quasi
01:01:11.920 skinhead you know i mean like just i'm not that that means i'm the the spectrum of everything
01:01:17.080 that they hate you know this and and these are the guys complaining like everything's slop now
01:01:23.840 everything the right it's blowing up
01:01:26.740 everyone's betraying their ideals
01:01:28.720 I'm like you're literally just out there calling everyone
01:01:30.860 first of all you only ever talk
01:01:32.760 to people on the right your entire
01:01:34.600 circle is just
01:01:36.640 right wing guys and 100%
01:01:38.920 of them are apparently Jewish
01:01:39.880 I don't know 0.99
01:01:43.980 and you're saying everything sucks now
01:01:46.540 I'm sorry I'm sorry you like
01:01:48.780 weirdly randomly ended up
01:01:50.900 in the most Jewish place on
01:01:52.900 earth by no fault i i had some other stuff planned for this but i've really gone off the rails here
01:02:00.160 that's fine i was going to complain about indians i might i might we do that every day that's i mean
01:02:06.720 that's second nature now can i just do one yeah let's do it
01:02:12.520 because i want to get this on record i really like this this is a post made a while ago on
01:02:23.300 kiwi farms that was making the rounds and uh it's about is that i yeah that's that you probably
01:02:31.680 read this a lot of people have read it yeah but um it's so interesting how much in common
01:02:38.240 these foreigners have
01:02:40.480 because it seems like every
01:02:41.980 group or ethnicity that
01:02:44.500 we hate
01:02:45.480 having any interaction with, they have some
01:02:48.420 form of just lying
01:02:50.340 for the sake of lying, which
01:02:52.440 is so antithetical to how we
01:02:54.380 do things. So I'm just going to
01:02:56.340 read a bit here. He says
01:02:58.500 this is
01:03:00.600 a thread on QFarm. There's a guy saying,
01:03:02.420 oh, I didn't see this mention here before.
01:03:04.560 He says, is that has no
01:03:06.420 direct translation into english we only have terms that can broach the same concepts such as honor
01:03:12.280 or reputation or face and even that saving face you know the idea of face in japanese culture
01:03:19.040 even that was a new thing right we had to kind of learn how japanese people handle their reputation
01:03:26.060 being dinged is that is so much more than that it's a zero-sum game of collective honor shared
01:03:32.640 by the whole groups of people all of whom take it very very seriously and what would the muslim
01:03:38.120 version of this be there was one you don't talk about where it's like muslims are allowed to lie
01:03:43.280 to further their hands there's a word for it by a camera jews as well but yeah i don't remember
01:03:49.880 the word but most of them they have it enshrined either either in their culture or the case of 0.97
01:03:54.000 islam and judaism it's actually in their scripture that they can kind of do whatever the fuck
01:03:59.460 honestly from what i'm seeing every single group on earth aside from europeans because i don't even 0.90
01:04:08.260 think this yes this isn't in spain like in spain they don't have this no this is like a this is a
01:04:13.220 rule of law thing that's so ingrained in our minds that we project onto the rest of the planet but
01:04:18.580 it's just us not even just whites it's just like anglos largely yeah well it's also like angles but
01:04:25.300 but it's also like,
01:04:25.940 I don't think it's in the Mediterranean either.
01:04:28.160 Like there's no policy that's like,
01:04:31.420 you're encouraged to lie to everyone
01:04:34.380 that's not of your group or,
01:04:37.340 because then it's like,
01:04:38.160 they didn't have a concept of race.
01:04:39.520 It would be you're outside your family
01:04:42.400 or outside your community or something. 1.00
01:04:45.140 But that's just a fucking war 0.99
01:04:47.080 every time you want to do anything. 0.99
01:04:48.440 Like everyone's lying all the time about everything.
01:04:51.760 and every conversation you have is just locking horns and it says here it says um a system like
01:05:01.580 this is just so foreign to enlightenment values but i argue it's antithetical to every sensible
01:05:06.100 form of governance on the planet and the only exception i would take as we just said is i think
01:05:10.540 that is the form of governance on the planet i think that's what they're doing in china i think
01:05:14.720 that's probably i mean maybe they're doing in menezuela i don't know but like in africa definitely
01:05:18.960 either doing it the entire continents are doing this is that conflicts is that conflicts are not
01:05:26.280 about who is right and who is wrong it's about who wins and who loses this means it's a zero-sum
01:05:30.880 game where just about any action is justified including murder to restore the last is that
01:05:36.580 is that is a limited social currency and the easiest way to get is to take it from someone
01:05:41.180 else winning is righteous it is that losing is unrighteous this means that someone plays a game
01:05:47.680 of Izzat well enough, they can get away with just about
01:05:49.940 anything. The only appropriate
01:05:51.780 response when your Izzat is attacked is 0.95
01:05:53.860 the complete destruction of whoever insulted
01:05:56.120 it. Like two people get
01:05:58.000 into an argument, he says. They might escalate,
01:05:59.960 but chances are it won't be that bad.
01:06:02.140 Sorry, I broke your guard. No, was the
01:06:04.000 example. With two Indians in
01:06:06.000 an argument, the stakes are always deadly
01:06:07.880 thanks to Izzat. Neither of them can
01:06:09.940 back down nor can emit fault. Emitting fault
01:06:12.040 is seen as deliberately humiliating
01:06:13.960 yourself. Not only that, but because
01:06:16.040 is that is shared you're shaming everyone who shares your is that that would be your family
01:06:20.740 and community and whatnot so admitting fault or taking responsibility for a problem is a form of 0.99
01:06:25.560 social suicide this means even if the dispute was over something completely fucking stupid or trivial 0.97
01:06:31.120 it's spiral into a decades-long honor feud now he gave an example here hold on yeah you all know 0.99
01:06:38.600 the infamous video of that indian scamming a food bank once again winning is righteous losing is not
01:06:44.800 by employing clever means otherwise known as jugad he successfully extracted more resources
01:06:51.980 for himself and his family from the perspective of jugad a rule is not something to respect but
01:06:57.140 merely an obstacle to the indians own gain and so if anyone's ever been in academia you might be
01:07:03.580 aware of these massive cheating organizations run by indian students just because like you
01:07:10.040 understand like when white people take a test you either pass or you fail and if you fail
01:07:15.000 it means you didn't work hard enough you didn't study hard enough maybe you're not smart enough
01:07:19.080 and you need to recalculate what you can do to succeed to them it's just you will if it if you 1.00
01:07:25.700 can go to the principal and blackmail them if you can go to the dean and suck his dick if you can 0.99
01:07:31.240 you know what i mean if you can like threaten some wife anything aside from learning the the 1.00
01:07:38.960 study material anything other than doing what the actual system wants you to do they will do it in
01:07:45.800 fact obeying the rules is kind of weak why would you obey the rules why can't you smart people
01:07:51.060 break rules but then you're breaking every rule all the time and that's no way to run a society
01:07:57.280 but that explains what it's like dealing with these people i i do believe this is i've just
01:08:02.540 seen so many different examples of this is how they approach the world and this is how so many 0.91
01:08:08.040 other fucking non-europeans do it too which is just every social interaction is a dispute and 0.97
01:08:15.320 a feud every system is there to be subverted jews are like this too they love systems are there to 1.00
01:08:21.700 be outsmarted you're a smart person if you know how to break the rules and get caught like the
01:08:27.240 wire around town cheating god yes like anytime we were talking about this before the calistani
01:08:34.020 anything. I'm like, okay, what tangle of lies is this? I don't know what this is. When I'm dealing
01:08:40.580 with Indians, I don't know what anything is. I can't trust any of you. You're never getting
01:08:46.020 the straight story. This is why you can't employ them. You ever employed an Indian?
01:08:50.640 You ever tried? Because you or I, an employer, a client says, hey, I need you to do a job.
01:08:57.080 Can you do it? You might say, you know what? I think I can do it. I might need to bring someone
01:09:01.920 else on i don't think i can do it i can help you get this done we'll figure it out and we'll figure
01:09:06.800 out a price that makes sense right yeah yeah the indian will just say yes and he'll no idea how to
01:09:11.420 do it and then he just won't do it and then he'll get mad at you for asking hey where's that thing
01:09:19.100 that you said you're going to do seeing it seeing it happen i mean i i have so many stories but i
01:09:24.600 mean anybody who's worked with indians knows that this is true that they'll be in a meeting and say
01:09:28.600 yes i've got this and not only will they come back only for you to realize that they had no
01:09:34.360 clue how to even start it but then they haven't attempted it they haven't given it to somebody
01:09:39.400 else to do they're now they're just trying to blame you or their boss or someone else in the
01:09:44.280 office for why it's not done even though it's a thing that they explicitly said not only they
01:09:49.320 could do but they were a fucking expert in and they haven't even touched it and it's just and
01:09:54.840 and the gaslighting man yeah and so like i said before there's so many comparable examples from 0.94
01:10:01.860 around the world of other groups that do this and you cannot educate that out of them um and that
01:10:08.560 you can't engage with these people in any realistic way and i just get the sense whenever
01:10:14.020 we talk to even people on our side they keep saying well we should do that or that that's an
01:10:20.380 aspect of them that they respect it wouldn't be great if white people did that but i mean maybe
01:10:28.220 at one point we did maybe at one point far in the past that is how we structured society and
01:10:33.740 realized that was no way to have society you cannot you cannot have a civilization right
01:10:38.460 right but this is how even your kinfolk understand and interact with themselves it's kind of sad
01:10:45.100 hearing people say that is if you don't understand the reason that i love white people isn't because
01:10:51.340 i think white is a great color on your skin it's because of the things that we do it's our habits
01:10:57.100 and our culture and our beliefs and our behavior relative to each other and this is one of the
01:11:01.180 things that we generally speaking instill all of our children with deep deep integrity multiple
01:11:08.460 facets of integrity we would never we the problem with us is we get victimized by indians because
01:11:16.060 most of us until we've experienced it a few times can't even imagine the level of deceit
01:11:23.020 that is required to behave this way we have no we're totally blindsided by it but the fact
01:11:29.900 the fact that we have that integrity yeah it's deceit but the the integrity the ability to
01:11:35.100 cooperate long term and to get more out of a crew of guys than the sum of their parts is the reason
01:11:41.820 that we conquered the planet right the the british empire was a result of that so and this is yeah
01:11:48.540 this is why it's great dealing with white men in any professional sense because what we're describing
01:11:54.460 here in so many words is everything's a game it's a purposeless game these are the rules of the game
01:11:59.820 you have to play for interactions it's deceit you must be treacherous and you have it's there's
01:12:03.500 There's winners and losers, but it just seems so frivolous.
01:12:06.780 And when you're dealing with white guys, especially the ones I'm thinking of, 0.99
01:12:10.200 they just want to cut through the bullshit because they're trying to actually get something done. 1.00
01:12:15.380 I don't want to play a game. 0.99
01:12:16.620 Guys, that's why we started wearing jeans in the office, by the way. 0.99
01:12:20.720 We don't need to wear a fucking... I'm an engineer. I don't need to wear a fucking suit. 0.99
01:12:24.140 You want to wear a three-piece suit if I'm working at drafting? 1.00
01:12:26.720 Well, fuck that. Maybe I'm more comfortable and more efficient if I just wear a fucking t-shirt or something, right? 1.00
01:12:30.900 but it's in the interest of like let's get the job done faster the the white guy is the the guy 0.99
01:12:38.040 who hates being in a meeting i hate meetings meetings are a waste of time there's things to 0.99
01:12:43.700 do yeah every all these other people they love meetings they love performative shit they love 0.99
01:12:49.140 being seen in the meeting they love it's very important where they sit the meeting the white 0.98
01:12:54.840 guy the driven man the faustian man he doesn't want to just fucking waste his time with frivolous 0.99
01:12:59.640 shit that's why having to learn how to deal with these asian companies it's like okay can i just 0.98
01:13:05.380 call you up and let's talk about a deal i want a deal okay here's here's what i think the market 0.99
01:13:10.140 rate is i'll give i'll give you we'll go 10 over 10 over how's that sound it's like well you're
01:13:14.900 like oh no i didn't i didn't introduce myself the right way i didn't look at your business card the
01:13:20.680 right way i'm supposed to look at your business card for 20 seconds i only did it for 10 and then 0.99
01:13:26.480 i need to refuse your the gift three times like shut the fuck up shut the fuck up there's things 1.00
01:13:32.240 to do i have a family i've got i want to fucking jerk off i want to go watch a movie there's like 1.00
01:13:37.060 100 things i want to do in my life other than stand here with you just a guy i want to make 0.99
01:13:41.740 a fucking deal with can we make a deal i want to make a deal do you want to make money i want to 0.99
01:13:46.460 make money do you want me how about we just like as men let's figure out what this is the more 0.99
01:13:51.500 games we play the gayer this fucking gets i think a lot of this stuff as it relates to like 0.92
01:13:56.380 law and international business has to do with long-term exposure to outside cultures because 0.97
01:14:01.300 i don't think any of this was necessary when we were only dealing with ourselves we didn't need
01:14:06.480 look look there was a time when we wore suits because we all enjoyed wearing them we wore suits
01:14:11.980 because we were patting each other on the back not because the deal would fail if you didn't wear the 0.99
01:14:16.380 fucking suit but the position we're in right for example japanese love them to bits love my love 0.99
01:14:21.700 my japanese friends but you know what you deal with the japanese if you don't give them the gift 0.99
01:14:25.240 and you don't wear the suit and you don't bow
01:14:27.300 and you don't do the correct type of eye contact
01:14:29.220 the deal is off
01:14:30.220 that is the 21st century 0.99
01:14:33.440 version of fucking 1.00
01:14:35.360 animist pig worshippers 1.00
01:14:37.280 you fucking animals 1.00
01:14:39.160 that's not how busy, we're talking about cars 1.00
01:14:41.580 we're talking about electronics manufacturing 1.00
01:14:43.760 and you're going to blow the fucking deal 0.99
01:14:45.420 because you didn't like my haircut 1.00
01:14:47.300 are you fucking serious 0.99
01:14:48.720 you won't blow up a 5 million dollar deal 0.99
01:14:50.940 because my shoes were not auspicious 0.97
01:14:52.840 what the fuck does this mean 1.00
01:14:54.160 this is the reason you motherfuckers you short ass bitches could not hold an empire down the way 1.00
01:14:58.820 that we could it's this exact shit this is it like pragmatism i'm sorry i don't want to go off 1.00
01:15:06.880 on this but i do i want you to go off that's it that's my this is year of the crash out 0.98
01:15:13.740 you're the crash i don't want to look i want all the it's not you know what i'm a i'm a rules guy
01:15:19.720 i love the rules but the rules have to be rules that work they can't be rules for rules sake it
01:15:24.540 can't be rules as a game remember i had that discussion a few months ago about the idea of a
01:15:28.720 game that like you're you're creating artificial obstacles for yourself just to prove that you can
01:15:33.120 do it that i don't think that that works in a lot of cases it doesn't work certainly in international
01:15:38.580 trade and that drives me up the fucking wall the games that you have to play with people in order
01:15:43.340 to get a deal done the way and relationship building is one thing but even to say i have 0.97
01:15:48.280 to build a long-term relationship with this person before i'm going to get a deal out of them i might 0.96
01:15:51.760 not get a good deal for three years i gotta get shafted for three fucking years until i can get 0.98
01:15:56.500 a good deal with a chinese supplier are you fucking serious i'll tell you how i get a good 0.99
01:16:00.560 deal with a guy locally in ontario i go over and shake his hand and i figure out what kind of beer 0.98
01:16:05.600 he likes and now we're best friends and now we both give each other literally the best fucking 0.99
01:16:10.620 deal that either one of us can afford and we go to each other's fucking birthday parties like you 1.00
01:16:17.060 you niggers can't do this you get on get on my level of friendliness this is what i would do 1.00
01:16:25.220 and um when i'm looking for clients there's a few different ways to get clients i'm working 0.99
01:16:31.520 marketing obviously but there's other ways you know whatever you're selling you can do cold
01:16:35.940 calling cold calling is better than sending cold emails and it's just a numbers game so if you're
01:16:43.700 sending cold emails to try and get a client interested in whatever you're doing you might
01:16:48.180 have to send 100 before you get any sort of lead right i'm just making up a number it might be 50
01:16:53.560 depends what you're selling if you do a cold call and it's harder to get someone's number you
01:16:57.940 increase that number but from 100 now it's down to 50 but if you just show up at wherever it is
01:17:05.240 try and make a meeting try and get in front of them this is what i was doing you know for the
01:17:10.720 past few months and i would just go to these places and meet the people and if i do that 12
01:17:17.540 times i get five solid leads and i would get two clients from that i think those numbers are
01:17:25.820 unbeatable i'm dealing mostly with white guys here just based on where i am but it's like if
01:17:30.200 you actually just show up and they see your face you shake their hand they get a sense of what you
01:17:35.600 dress like what's your voice like is this does this look like someone i can trust that does
01:17:40.460 very very well with white guys and even a couple of prospects that didn't want to pursue a
01:17:47.260 relationship they said like it was really cool that you just came in like i heard that from yeah
01:17:51.760 yeah yeah but try doing that to anyone who's not a white guy i also think that works better
01:17:57.800 the more isolated we get it's almost like a bit of a there's a bit of a spring or like an elasticity
01:18:03.140 to that where it this has always worked it's probably the foundation of our previous empire 0.97
01:18:09.320 but it's it actually works even better now because all of us are so burnt out dealing with fucking 0.59
01:18:14.600 nons all day that if you go and you actually are just a dude to another dude you can probably form
01:18:20.960 a much better relationship with somebody and again just in business um it's easier to do it than it
01:18:27.880 was 50 let's put it this way there will be a premium placed on the ability to prove to someone
01:18:34.880 that you're not an indian yeah and i mean really i mean getting a room and say oh thank god i'm not
01:18:41.740 talking to an indian i'm not talking to an indian with a fake name and an email i'm not talking to
01:18:47.420 some indian trying to put on an american accent because they do that as well yeah like oh an
01:18:53.580 awesome wave of relief will wash over them they say oh it actually is a white guy i didn't think
01:18:59.240 they made those anymore i didn't think they did that if you can get in a guy's office any if you
01:19:05.400 can get in a dude's office and within 10 minutes you can make him laugh genuinely and then you can
01:19:10.560 do like a fake out high five if you can do a fake out high five on a guy within 10 minutes

01:22:12.820 it was what was it like two and two two ish days two and a half days and there was food and there
01:22:17.840 were events it was a whole thing and as much as we've done events before we'd never done a like

01:22:54.400 one yeah so we're gonna get more and more extreme as we go there but this event is just gonna be
01:22:59.400 a fun party networking atmosphere um so with that being said i just wanted to talk about a couple
01:23:08.320 books that i think we can rip through in short order i decided to do two because i was reading
01:23:14.400 one and uh i didn't i didn't like it that much these are canadian books we're still on our arc
01:23:20.500 about canadian history and canadian identity and i found this one book that i can only describe it 0.82
01:23:28.360 as shit lib nationalism 0.94
01:23:31.360 because you're used to hearing right wing nationalism 1.00
01:23:34.880 you're used to hearing ethno nationalism
01:23:36.800 but you very rarely hear nationalist sentiment
01:23:41.100 coming from just liberals
01:23:42.280 just from like CBC viewers
01:23:44.440 you kind of see it with the elbows up movement
01:23:47.180 from the boomers
01:23:48.400 that was the only time I'd seen it
01:23:50.000 but I'd never actually seen a book
01:23:51.860 basically written by a liberal
01:23:53.040 complaining about sovereignty
01:23:55.420 the lack of sovereignty
01:23:56.980 complaining about American
01:23:59.060 encroachment and complaining about how
01:24:00.980 Canada's not taken seriously
01:24:02.700 as a military power
01:24:04.940 on the world stage, but from 1.00
01:24:06.940 your fucking 1.00
01:24:08.580 progressive fucking uncle, the guy 1.00
01:24:10.860 who voted for Trudeau twice. 1.00
01:24:13.780 You know?
01:24:15.720 The book is titled
01:24:17.100 The Vanishing Country.
01:24:19.760 So I thought I'd just read some excerpts
01:24:21.200 that I just found amusing.
01:24:23.260 We're just here to have fun.
01:24:24.660 so take off your serious cap
01:24:27.400 we're just here to chuckle
01:24:29.560 but there's some interesting
01:24:31.260 historical insight he gives
01:24:33.340 along the way
01:24:34.120 The Vanishing Country, the author is Mel
01:24:37.200 Hurtig
01:24:38.300 I was hurting after watching this
01:24:41.060 ah
01:24:42.840 jeez
01:24:44.300 yes
01:24:45.400 so
01:24:47.020 it just opens up here
01:24:49.720 on a CBC Network morning radio show
01:24:52.680 tom de kaino tells us listeners that the bcni wants much more foreign investment in canada
01:24:59.500 we're quote missing the boat not attracting more i see no danger in americans japanese and germans
01:25:05.920 owning canadian companies i have no problem with that their model says end quote anyway regarding
01:25:13.000 the americans once again quote says we've bought up more of their economy than they have of ours
01:25:19.260 this is what he's saying canada is and he said we could even get more foreign investment in canada
01:25:24.900 if we didn't have such an unfriendly regulatory environment and anti-business bias on the same
01:25:29.980 show the right-wing mcgill economist and national post communist uh comments columnist william
01:25:36.300 watson uh when asked by me how much of the country he'd be he would be preparing to sell
01:25:42.220 promptly responded that he'd be prepared to sell the whole country depending on the price he could
01:25:47.900 get we should leave it to the market so he's basically telling the story here about canadian
01:25:55.940 academics think tanks and business leaders who are trying to sell out canada not just to america
01:26:02.660 and this is the theme of the last previous couple episodes about canada versus america and what i
01:26:08.980 want to establish here in these examples he just cited was it's to anyone it's not just
01:26:15.760 America has been the most successful animal
01:26:18.060 you're dealing with a
01:26:19.920 business class and a bureaucrat class that
01:26:22.240 is just interested in anyone
01:26:24.460 buying up anything here
01:26:25.840 Japanese, Germans, whatever, they're model citizens
01:26:28.220 what do you mean by model?
01:26:30.980 No one ever asks them that, right?
01:26:33.340 You know what I'm model
01:26:34.000 they're
01:26:34.740 the most white you can think of
01:26:38.920 well they're just models, they don't try and 0.99
01:26:40.640 they don't try and rape us
01:26:42.520 I'm like, well tell me about who does
01:26:44.400 this is what to people who say they're model citizens who's the not model citizen
01:26:50.640 you know because you're already talking about nationality and race is the portuguese yeah um
01:26:57.300 so he continues on here when he's he's really unfriendly towards brian mulrooney in this book
01:27:07.900 and in this selling out of canada he says the place to start has to be brian mulrooney and
01:27:14.200 remnants of the entourage people such as paul tellier stanley hart peter white derek burney and
01:27:20.280 the like there is no one in our 135 year history who comes close to brian mulrooney as the all-time
01:27:27.480 champion of americanization of canada big business in canada tom aquino and his 150 large corporations
01:27:34.040 who now call themselves the canadian council of chief executives formerly the bcni who i previously
01:27:40.680 mentioned co-chaired by derek burney and paul tellier these are just the names of the people
01:27:45.560 who are involved in this are the most powerful of the radical right elite in canada you're going to
01:27:51.240 get to this in a second he calls all these people the radical right that's when i noticed that this
01:27:56.920 book was was was playing funny games with me this book was having a laugh because he basically said
01:28:04.520 that anyone that's just interested in financialization of canada is like right wing
01:28:10.680 and this is what i love about this type of guy it's like my side the progressive side 0.99
01:28:16.100 we're not interested in making money it's only the fucking capitalists man 0.98
01:28:21.460 so they're the far right according to him 0.99
01:28:24.280 he makes a good point here he says yeah he expands on here he says those who are selling
01:28:33.240 out our country could best be called the radical right for their policies are truly radical in the
01:28:39.380 context of history and the traditions of our country they are radical because in many ways
01:28:44.560 they have little or no precedence they contradict long-standing canadian values and they advocate
01:28:50.420 for far-reaching transformation of the character of our country a transformation that's well outside
01:28:55.740 the mainstream opinion and who does the canadian radical right most closely resemble clearly it's
01:29:02.100 the far right of the u.s republican party the ronald reagan's and the barry goldwaters
01:29:07.400 the radicals such as Newt Gingrich
01:29:10.680 and other American icons
01:29:12.560 of laissez-faire let the market
01:29:14.520 prevail ideology so to this
01:29:16.640 type of mind I love this
01:29:18.100 only recently did these people become
01:29:20.620 aware of fascists
01:29:22.100 to them
01:29:23.340 the liberals were
01:29:26.080 socialists and so
01:29:27.460 the antithesis of that
01:29:30.160 was laissez-faire
01:29:31.720 free market economic
01:29:33.360 Milton Friedman
01:29:34.320 their enemy was just like old
01:29:37.380 Jews 0.90
01:29:38.020 and he keeps
01:29:41.360 going on here he says
01:29:42.280 and this is what I loved about the book
01:29:45.260 I'm just giving a few examples here
01:29:46.660 about how this form of liberal
01:29:49.380 anti-Americanism
01:29:51.260 manifests
01:29:52.340 we'll get into it here where he's like
01:29:54.960 these Americans they don't even
01:29:57.340 believe in universal health care
01:29:59.000 they don't even believe
01:30:01.400 in the UN
01:30:02.540 he goes here he says certainly when it comes to public policy and health and education
01:30:08.240 most canadians are social democrats let me ask you this would you would you agree with that
01:30:14.200 does that make sense most canadians are social democrats uh it's a truer statement about us than
01:30:21.700 it is about the states but i don't think i don't think that's true if you control for for ethnicity
01:30:26.980 i think that canadian canadian immigrants are mostly social democrats he says um and their
01:30:34.520 policies that we enjoy are much closer to those of west european countries than those in the u.s
01:30:41.220 well look i don't want to go on a whole tangent about it but in my opinion um there's a lot of
01:30:48.080 hay made about the scandinavian nations and how socialist they are and how successful their
01:30:53.080 socialist policies are i don't think they're socialist i think they're practical like for
01:30:58.720 example i was either sweden or norway denmark one of them their health care system they have
01:31:05.220 publicly funded health care but they also have an extremely robust but well-regulated private
01:31:11.620 health care system it's even better than the american private health care system so for
01:31:16.460 canadians they say oh but look at denmark's beautiful public health care system and the
01:31:21.020 americans are like look at denmark's beautiful private health care system yeah because they 0.84
01:31:24.920 have fucking both and the purpose of the system is to make sure that everybody gets the best health
01:31:30.300 care that they can they can get and it's for the health of the nation right so there's a lot there 0.98
01:31:35.080 to look to but to call it socialist is really reductive i think france is socialist but i mean 0.96
01:31:42.060 england is not really socialist it's just fucking tyrannical it was so wild as i was reading this 0.98
01:31:48.960 piece that was 0.99
01:31:50.760 I forget who wrote it but
01:31:52.760 the title was something like
01:31:55.140 Total
01:31:56.500 Boomer Luxury Communism
01:31:59.200 I was just complaining about boomers right
01:32:01.100 and there was
01:32:02.880 a statistic given in the middle of it
01:32:05.020 I had to look it up to make sure it was accurate
01:32:06.720 but I'm sure you would agree with this
01:32:09.140 or if you don't I'd love to hear why
01:32:10.620 but he was saying that
01:32:12.640 I'd made the argument before that
01:32:14.600 every successful economy
01:32:16.780 right now is basically a mixed capitalist and socialist economy they've all kind of arrived
01:32:22.360 to the exact same sort of economy it's a mix of socialist policies to different degrees but then
01:32:29.400 direct ownership of the government of some industries private companies working hand 0.97
01:32:33.620 in glove like that's what fucking musk is doing with the government as well that's just a fact 0.80
01:32:38.300 yeah and then even china has embraced sort of private investment things like that like they've 0.96
01:32:42.540 kind of just became the same sort of a lot of the critics would call that just straight of neoliberalism
01:32:47.900 neoliberalism is the dominant system but it was comparing healthcare spending in canada and in
01:32:57.180 america and china and this just seemed wild to me because i still operated on the assumption that
01:33:03.980 china was largely communist or significantly communist but it said that america spends i'm
01:33:10.700 just throwing out numbers here but this is the ballpark figure i read it was like america spends
01:33:15.600 like 20 of its gdp towards social spending and health care spending especially for retirement
01:33:22.780 and china spends like five percent yeah and then they said we over here and this is a cultural
01:33:30.920 problem this is kind of what i was getting at where you can look at the dollars and cents of
01:33:34.480 it but that only tells part of the story over there they have a culture where they really want
01:33:39.940 to let old people die and if the old people don't die they almost want to penalize them for hanging 1.00
01:33:45.820 around like if your family isn't taking care of you go live in a fucking cage or die you know i 0.99
01:33:53.600 mean whereas here like we we think it's incumbent on us to support our seniors like way way more 0.99
01:34:00.140 than these other countries do but you think that of course china must have a social safety net of
01:34:05.380 course no it doesn't in fact america probably has the best one in the world oh yeah despite a long
01:34:11.060 shot despite what you might think of america so yeah i was just looking at how different the
01:34:17.500 numbers actually are when you look at them anyway so so he continues here he says unfortunately as
01:34:25.620 we shall see this has been changing at the post-secondary level as we move closer to american
01:34:29.880 policies in some universities and provinces for the most part the public education system in
01:34:35.280 canada is superior to that of the u.s i wouldn't say so anymore that's one of those things where
01:34:41.240 i'm like we just didn't have enough blacks and browns here yeah we're really the public education 0.99
01:34:46.360 system in america sucks because there's just so many non-whites in it and then they're dragging 0.98
01:34:51.260 dragging everyone down that's it's not fair to american teachers or to the american education 0.99
01:34:57.200 system to say that it's inferior no it's it's the material you're working with this is why i don't
01:35:01.780 like a guy like this it's like oh they just don't value education well i mean they do have some of
01:35:06.380 the world's greatest universities and colleges so like how do you square that how do you square 0.99
01:35:11.200 that you're trying to say that america is just dumb they don't care about teaching people 0.98
01:35:15.260 don't care about teaching them math it's like they seem to be the front runners of that for 1.00
01:35:22.400 the longest time so you know i mean like just shut the fuck up this is you can't even engage 0.97
01:35:26.980 with the problem so here's another thing he says canada strongly supports international agreements 0.91
01:35:33.240 to limit world trade and small arms and and the milestone landmines treaty and the new
01:35:40.560 international criminal accord for the prosecution of war criminals that was signed by 139 countries
01:35:45.720 and already ratified by close to 80.
01:35:49.220 The U.S. opposes all of these.
01:35:52.180 So again, to the liberal mind, 0.97
01:35:53.820 to the neoliberal shitlit mind, 0.98
01:35:56.060 signing that treaty means a lot. 0.98
01:35:59.640 There's nothing funnier to me
01:36:01.100 than a very serious, respected man
01:36:04.980 signing his name on a piece of paper
01:36:07.180 that essentially says,
01:36:09.040 we don't like landmines.
01:36:12.880 We're going to work our hardest
01:36:14.360 not to do that anymore.
01:36:15.720 None of this means anything.
01:36:17.940 And I will give America credit, credit where credit is due.
01:36:22.260 Trump has, and others before him, have actually just said,
01:36:25.460 we're not doing it.
01:36:26.700 It doesn't matter.
01:36:28.440 No, we have a new thing you have to sign to prove that we don't like war.
01:36:32.480 Did you hear about this?
01:36:33.940 There's a new war is bad treaty that establishes for 150 companies
01:36:39.580 that war is non-ideal.
01:36:43.060 Will you sign that? 1.00
01:36:44.080 Fuck off. 1.00
01:36:45.720 shut up again there's things to do we don't have time to dilly dally over this shit so like oh well 1.00
01:36:55.320 i guess america just likes uh children with their legs blown off and at this stage in the game 1.00
01:37:02.880 you just say yeah i guess i do i guess you got me i love pregnant children blown up with landmines
01:37:10.740 are we done can i go i'm hanging up again this is this is such a flip from where we were just like 1.00
01:37:18.200 america must be reckoned with it's enough i'd like that america tells these losers to go fuck 1.00
01:37:24.020 themselves and then canada define canada the problem with canada the people like this and 1.00
01:37:29.880 the people that we've been talking about is that they define their worth by how many treaties they
01:37:33.960 sign and how many
01:37:35.740 performative actions
01:37:37.620 they try and not only
01:37:39.880 participate in, but lead.
01:37:42.280 You know what I mean? But that's
01:37:43.700 how you define yourself as a nation.
01:37:48.360 It refused to...
01:37:49.740 Did you hear about this?
01:37:51.540 Did America refuse to join the League of Nations?
01:37:55.060 Uh-oh.
01:37:55.480 The First World War to promote international peace
01:37:57.820 and security. How well did that do?
01:38:01.280 What, hey,
01:38:01.940 League of Nations whatever happened there
01:38:04.320 I can imagine just writing that 1.00
01:38:09.420 they didn't even want to join this fucking 0.99
01:38:11.000 spectacular failure that we all got 0.99
01:38:13.840 duped into joining
01:38:14.920 I mean that should give them some credit of course
01:38:17.940 oh get this 1.00
01:38:20.460 here's why America sucks as well 0.99
01:38:22.000 whereas Canada rushed to 0.99
01:38:24.100 Britain's assistance when the first world
01:38:26.120 war began in 1914
01:38:27.500 it wasn't until 1917
01:38:29.680 that the U.S. finally became involved
01:38:32.040 and when Adolf Hitler
01:38:33.660 was overrunning western, central
01:38:36.000 and southern Europe and slaughtering
01:38:37.720 millions of Jews and others
01:38:39.080 while London was being bombed every night
01:38:41.900 in an egregious display
01:38:44.100 of indifferent isolationism
01:38:45.480 the U.S. waited two years to declare war
01:38:47.720 and did so only after being attacked by Japan
01:38:50.140 in Pearl Harbor in 1941
01:38:51.880 okay so just to
01:38:53.560 address that, why do you think
01:38:55.880 Canada rushed to Britain's assistance?
01:38:59.680 Because they're an ally and we are beholden to them, right?
01:39:06.620 We had to.
01:39:08.340 And America only entered because they were attacked.
01:39:10.940 We only entered to defend Britain because we have to.
01:39:14.820 You know what I mean?
01:39:15.380 We didn't have the ability not to do that.
01:39:16.820 We're part of the Commonwealth.
01:39:18.460 Yeah.
01:39:19.480 But he's acting like a moralistic thing.
01:39:22.080 It's like, okay, well then count up all the wars that Canada didn't jump to participate in.
01:39:28.160 You know what I mean?
01:39:29.340 Yeah.
01:39:29.680 he's a americans keep telling us that we don't spend enough on the military and every time they
01:39:35.700 do the national post and their alliance comrades repeat the accusation and why not spend more
01:39:42.160 forget child poverty forget buying more mris forget more r&d the only thing i agree with
01:39:49.400 is r&d we should put more in r&d but it's like forget buying more rris do we mris we need how 0.98
01:39:54.420 many mris do we need give me a number do we need a hundred shut the fuck up we actually should
01:40:01.060 spend more on the military and we should find a way to spend more on mris but i think maybe we've 0.91
01:40:06.200 got enough forget child poverty there's no such thing as child poverty i don't i deny it i'm a
01:40:12.760 child poverty denialist i think there's impoverished parents and then their children right right
01:40:18.200 look the larger point is there's there's no amount of spending that resolves child poverty
01:40:24.000 right probably a lot of child
01:40:26.100 poverty would be resolved by you
01:40:28.000 reducing spending in other places
01:40:30.160 that have a knock on effect that cause the 0.99
01:40:32.040 fucking child poverty like immigration 0.99
01:40:33.840 for example so 1.00
01:40:35.460 here's one
01:40:36.800 while it's certainly true Canadians have 0.94
01:40:39.960 had our share of bigoted rednecks
01:40:42.360 we've never had anything like 0.50
01:40:43.980 the extent of the prolonged murderous
01:40:45.900 racial violence of the Ku Klux Klan
01:40:47.780 oh man
01:40:48.360 you can tell he's never
01:40:52.140 read about any of this
01:40:53.820 he watched Mississippi Burning
01:40:56.580 one time, he just watched films
01:40:58.000 and it's like, can you believe that these people 1.00
01:41:00.160 dressed up and just wanted to kill black people 1.00
01:41:02.460 probably because they were jealous of them 1.00
01:41:04.160 for dancing so well
01:41:05.380 that's what goes on
01:41:07.040 I said this before
01:41:09.180 I would encourage more people
01:41:12.300 I would encourage more
01:41:14.300 listeners to be boldly
01:41:16.460 confident about 1.00
01:41:18.160 the dumbest shit 1.00
01:41:19.840 because it seems to pay off 1.00
01:41:22.480 in spades
01:41:23.240 like the most successful content career you're about this guy named ian carroll i think we
01:41:27.980 talked to him on the show yeah yeah i see him or like candace owen like a lot of these people
01:41:31.760 like they're supremely confident about their wildly poorly researched stuff you know i mean
01:41:39.380 but they say it with their whole chest and they go out there and they make the clickbait thumbnail
01:41:44.260 and they're just like here's what it is here's the truth they got the truth and i don't even
01:41:49.100 know if they understand it but most of us we don't have the conviction to be so confidently wrong 0.98
01:41:55.500 to just say some dumb shit yeah and just to say a theory like a novelty take you could take a 0.96
01:42:02.400 novelty take which is just something you don't even believe but sounds good like i gotta 1.00
01:42:06.720 interpret hey maybe um maybe all the uh slave owners were spiritually catholic i could just
01:42:14.380 say that you know i mean yeah maybe maybe american slavery has its roots in the vatican
01:42:19.760 there's a thing i just said based on nothing i didn't read that i just said it but what if i
01:42:25.680 just said it louder and what if i went on people's shows and i said it and i just i took it on tour
01:42:30.560 they would say hey look at this guy's got a wild new theory at a certain point it becomes a theory
01:42:37.080 now you just say stuff and then that's how you get invited on shows that's how you get a career
01:42:42.260 right yeah like even a can of someone's like i don't even know if bridget macron's a man
01:42:47.940 you know what i mean i do you i i don't think she is but if you just say it and you can build 0.99
01:42:57.200 it into this other thing you know what i mean you just you just keep saying shit and then it 0.97
01:43:02.000 becomes the thing that you go on tucker carlson and talk about but the same thing with this like 0.97
01:43:08.900 this guy doesn't know anything about
01:43:11.880 what he's talking about, any of these groups
01:43:13.600 but he wrote a book on it
01:43:15.520 and because he wrote a book on it
01:43:17.480 that means you never have to question anything you say
01:43:19.680 look, it's in a book, it's real
01:43:21.760 your thoughts aren't real
01:43:23.740 my thoughts are published
01:43:25.320 so it's in the canon
01:43:27.960 now, it's in a library
01:43:29.200 it's in the civilizational consciousness
01:43:31.240 so I would encourage people
01:43:33.180 be more boldly and confidently
01:43:36.200 wrong
01:43:36.800 don't ever second guess yourself that's where we go wrong we want to be correct you know we want
01:43:44.580 to be right about things where's that godness where's that godness we're gone being right 0.99
01:43:51.280 about shit i'm not richer i haven't seen how tucker carlson's bathroom 0.99
01:43:58.360 you never taken a shit at tux place yeah damn i never held it in for like way too long to 0.99
01:44:07.600 last making a splash on the set of tucker carlson 1.00
01:44:13.440 we're here to meet with dimes and we started 15 minutes ago and he's still not here you can hear
01:44:21.940 he's in the washroom
01:44:23.860 he came in
01:44:26.180 and he didn't see
01:44:27.660 it's all live
01:44:29.260 he ran right past me
01:44:32.440 he's describing
01:44:35.780 you coming into the suit
01:44:37.740 I don't know
01:44:38.920 I'm wearing a cowboy hat
01:44:45.520 I'm clutching a cowboy hat
01:44:46.820 oh no
01:44:48.120 oh man
01:44:50.680 yeah the kkk was awesome um yeah anyway so i i just wanted to give a tour of that
01:44:57.680 briefly and i'm gonna try and squeeze this one in but i liked this one a lot more
01:45:04.960 and i'm not gonna have enough time to talk about this one as much as i would want
01:45:08.960 but it's a relatively short book this book is called freedom wears a crown
01:45:14.420 by John Farley.
01:45:17.880 And I have a copy.
01:45:19.220 This was published, I think, in the 30s, the 1930s.
01:45:22.440 And this is a Canadian author.
01:45:24.740 And he's doing the exact opposite of this
01:45:27.800 because The Vanishing Country, I believe,
01:45:29.760 was published in 2003, right?
01:45:32.520 So we're going back in time.
01:45:34.020 And this is a guy, this was published posthumously,
01:45:37.220 but it's basically on the side of monarchy, right?
01:45:40.700 and what role does monarchy have
01:45:43.280 in the history of Canada
01:45:45.040 and also Canadian identity
01:45:46.280 and I'll say that I went into this
01:45:49.280 expecting more of a
01:45:51.300 political theory
01:45:53.420 about the role of monarchy
01:45:54.940 sort of like you would see
01:45:56.240 in a Hans-Hermann Hoppe
01:45:58.060 explain to me what a monarchy is
01:46:00.440 how it functions
01:46:01.520 and why that is better materialistically
01:46:04.720 or economically
01:46:05.600 he didn't go into that
01:46:06.660 it was a lot more philosophical
01:46:08.180 than I was expecting
01:46:10.240 and i i love the way it was written it was so fascinating and i never heard it
01:46:15.660 explained like this although just to point to hoppa again i always talk about that book
01:46:22.680 democracy the god that failed by hoppa because i was it's a he's a libertarian right and so
01:46:28.740 you'd expect to be this tome of like uh you know laissez-faire capitalism and small government but
01:46:36.040 he made such a good argument for a monarch or maybe not dictator but a singular vision guiding
01:46:44.480 society way more than anyone like him you would expect from and probably better than i've seen it
01:46:51.820 done you know talking about you need an individual for a proper time horizon like to see that far
01:46:59.780 in the future i don't think you can really do that as a group consensus it's just not set up
01:47:05.540 to do that you need you need like that singular focus and anyway and then of course de maester
01:47:11.900 talks about this about you know how society selects for the sovereign and whatnot we've
01:47:17.460 talked about that before but he gets to make this case he goes into british tradition which i think
01:47:25.040 you need to do and he says the british tradition has these two characteristics a king and an organic
01:47:31.940 order interesting nor is it surprising they should go together for a kingdom is essentially an
01:47:38.200 organic order of growth thus the illogical character of british institutions and their
01:47:44.440 tendency to take the middle course can be seen to be perfectly logical but it's the logic of a
01:47:50.000 changing organic order and not that of a fixed system the middle position is not a mere compromise
01:47:56.200 it's essentially a third position when i saw that i perked up i'm like
01:48:00.740 kind of third positionism but i guess third positionism as we know might have borrowed
01:48:05.800 from this but it's not it's a completely different way of looking at and we talked
01:48:10.000 about monarchy before but viewing society as a living organism not as a rigid framework or a
01:48:18.900 machine that is designed just to give you specifically material boons right and even
01:48:27.360 when we talk about Othmar Spahn on his book on corporatism I think he was pointing out that
01:48:32.960 the problem with liberal democracy is that it fractures all the social order that we had that
01:48:38.320 even with um Mike Maxwell he was saying wait what is what it what is a folk way it starts with you
01:48:45.140 know it was a family above community community above tribe tribe above nation nation above race
01:48:52.700 race above you know it goes on like that but if you fraction all that all you have is the individual
01:48:58.620 so you just have a an atomized person who has a one-to-one relationship with the center of power
01:49:04.520 which is a machine and so you have to make all of your demands of that state you can't offload any
01:49:11.620 that to your guild or your family or community or your tribe or your kin network that's all gone
01:49:18.220 so you place intense demands on the state and it can never fucking provide that's what socialism
01:49:23.520 is basically you can never provide everything that's too much right and if you have too many
01:49:28.700 people of course that doesn't even make economic sense so he's talking about more of that organic
01:49:34.600 social order the coalescing of all these different affiliation groups which i i think is true just
01:49:41.220 off the top does that sound yeah i'm ranting a lot here but i think that's that's fair he says
01:49:46.880 canadians of the shallower sort are more and more heard to say that we have come to the end of
01:49:52.720 everything we have known of good and we must now have faith simply in canada's future this is the
01:49:58.380 most sap-headed view of any it is even worse than which is even worse than that which sees us having
01:50:05.620 come to the end of the modern world with no hope but in return to the middle ages that's interesting
01:50:11.040 I like that there, that phrase where he's like,
01:50:13.500 in our historical period, you have people who are saying
01:50:16.340 we can only look towards the progress of the future,
01:50:18.980 or there's the people that we probably know
01:50:21.640 that our salvation can only be found in the Middle Ages.
01:50:25.880 You know, we must go back.
01:50:27.600 He said, what is actually coming to an end
01:50:29.400 is not the modern world that began with the Renaissance
01:50:32.100 and the Reformation, but the modern world
01:50:34.160 that came in with Sir Isaac Newton
01:50:36.180 and his inexorable jaw of gravitation.
01:50:40.020 there's an alternative for canadians to make the reign of elizabeth the second another elizabethan
01:50:46.440 age and so i like when you know he's not talking about monarchy in the abstract for most of it he's
01:50:52.100 talking about like what era should we because this is the thing when you're living in the present
01:50:58.800 moment as contradictory as it might seem you're also trying to have it a different time period so
01:51:04.880 people living in the present are trying to inhabit the past a lot of time or as many liberals do
01:51:11.120 they're trying to have it the future what they see the future as so his question is like what time
01:51:16.240 period do you want to use as your frame of reference to inform what we're living now and
01:51:21.840 maybe in the near future and he gives he says the elizabethan age that's what he likes he says that's
01:51:29.440 where we as
01:51:31.340 British subjects
01:51:33.280 can draw power
01:51:35.300 from that exists beyond democracy.
01:51:37.760 It's something more
01:51:39.380 substantial. Okay. Interesting.
01:51:41.580 At least he's specific. I appreciate
01:51:43.300 the specificity
01:51:44.440 of it.
01:51:47.740 He says,
01:51:48.720 we are the fortunate heirs of the greatest
01:51:51.100 and richest tradition in the life of man.
01:51:53.380 We need only to claim our heritage.
01:51:55.280 Since the reign of Elizabeth,
01:51:56.920 I was precisely
01:51:59.140 since the reign of elizabeth the first was precisely the time both of the reformation
01:52:05.940 and the renaissance in england the realization of any new elizabethan age must consist
01:52:10.880 in our coming to see the meaning of the other and carrying its work forward so
01:52:16.820 look at an interesting premise right like what's the best what's the best time let's let's revisit
01:52:23.100 of that so he continues on here he says the three principles of king law and people are fully
01:52:30.600 resolved in the ideal of the king in parliament quite as the american constitution revolves the
01:52:37.800 ideal of law and people with the republican and democratic parties keeping watch over each other's
01:52:42.860 principles as a people we are now living only on our capital proclaiming that we renounce our
01:52:49.100 traditions and yet continuing to pride ourselves on the lingering and fast being dissipated fruits
01:52:55.820 of these same traditions so again written writing from the 30s i was just surprised at how
01:53:03.940 so easily readable it is and how direct it was and how as unfortunate as this may seem
01:53:10.280 how much things remain the same like this is all perfectly applicable to 20 2025
01:53:18.000 and I'm sure if you said that to him
01:53:21.560 he would have killed himself
01:53:23.780 he continues on here
01:53:27.240 he says
01:53:27.500 it is there that our difficulty lies
01:53:29.580 the argument that we ought not to cut ourselves
01:53:32.080 off from our past
01:53:32.880 though surely at most times valid
01:53:34.920 has lately been all but helpless
01:53:37.700 in the face of this widespread belief
01:53:39.360 in a supposedly inevitable
01:53:41.480 democratic movement
01:53:43.120 a belief further strengthened by the pure
01:53:45.880 Canada cult
01:53:46.880 whose peculiar object of worship is the future
01:53:50.440 and whose substantiating doctrine conceives all history
01:53:54.100 as but a sequence of change
01:53:56.080 and as such, without a suggestion of either growth or development.
01:54:00.700 And I like that.
01:54:01.200 That's something we've always come back to,
01:54:03.320 the idea of Canada being changed
01:54:05.720 or we've ever been as changed.
01:54:07.300 And so we must embody change and tolerance.
01:54:11.720 And this guy could see the problem coming.
01:54:15.300 You know, just this almost paradoxical idea that you can define yourself presently as your love of the future.
01:54:23.860 You know what I mean?
01:54:24.860 People still do that to this day.
01:54:28.380 He goes on here.
01:54:29.480 The question facing the Canadian people is twofold.
01:54:33.000 Whether we shall know and develop a true idea of social order in Canada and whether as a people we shall then take our true place in the life of the world.
01:54:43.200 These two questions are indivisible.
01:54:45.300 One of the manifest faults of our present pure Canada cult is that the whole idea of nationalistic independence belongs to an age that is now and very rarely in its death throes.
01:54:57.480 It's not new. It belongs to the 18th century and was appropriate enough for the United States when they declared their independence but has no place in the world of which we are entering.
01:55:06.540 for we cannot exist and chart our course through history as if Karl Marx had never lived and led
01:55:12.180 the world in revolt against all such ideas of independence it's not enough that we affirm an
01:55:17.960 independence based on geography and then agitate ourselves with the desire to be of importance in
01:55:23.380 the world and so I don't know what I really like about this is he's not he's almost trying to
01:55:28.000 remove us from the conversation of sovereignty through first of all not sovereignty through
01:55:34.320 democracy of course but then sovereignty through nationalism or nationalism as the sort of
01:55:41.600 state construct he's trying to say what we're really trying to return to and people talk about
01:55:46.560 this all the time like what is you know the essence of society it's not just the government
01:55:52.560 because we can change the government but it won't necessarily change the people he's trying to be
01:55:57.120 like what is social order is that what you want do you want a good state or do you want social order
01:56:03.280 well we can define that and maybe that's only achievable if you have something in his opinion
01:56:10.140 the king in parliament so you would still have the parliament of course you would have the king
01:56:14.540 it would be a canadian king it wouldn't just be the british king and you could work that into the
01:56:19.700 system we have right now but you cannot have an absentee king i think that that's such an
01:56:25.680 interesting idea to reconcile to get people on the same page like what do you really want
01:56:32.520 what do you want is it just prosperity is it just money i don't think that's what most people want
01:56:38.880 they want to live the good life and i think we need to remind people of what's at stake and what
01:56:44.480 they really want it's you want to leave a good life you want it's safety we talk about this all
01:56:49.580 the time in different terminology but high trust society might be one or a safe society or you know
01:56:56.780 we're just complaining whatever the opposite of izat is whatever the opposite of these deceitful
01:57:04.440 games the rest of the world plays in every interaction we want a place where we can trust
01:57:09.580 our neighbor where we have space to grow space to thrive a place that people actually want to
01:57:16.160 have a family of seven kids it's not just treated as a new type of war it's not natal warfare that's
01:57:23.560 we talk about it right now you need to have nine kids for the race war you need to have
01:57:28.200 seven kids because you need you need bio capital for the horrible future that's coming no one's
01:57:36.600 even talking about do you want to have just have seven kids because you love your
01:57:40.360 people and you love your country and that's just a natural consequence of what happens
01:57:45.880 how do you get that well you need this this essence of social order which you can't arrive
01:57:50.200 about from like the top down not really like you need to completely change the system you can't
01:57:55.720 you can't get there through liberal democracy is what he's saying so it's like what outside of
01:58:02.120 democracy can you do and then you need something you need to understand what the idea of a monarch
01:58:07.720 is because no one can really comprehend it outside like dictator or tyrant or little man in a crown
01:58:15.960 they've never seen it represented what a true king actually was because in a true kingdom
01:58:22.840 it wouldn't operate like the neoliberal state which is just you know a socialism machine
01:58:29.400 connected to a deracinated atomized people it's implied that in this new social order
01:58:35.640 it was an ecosystem of relationships and kid networks and stuff that the the modern didn't
01:58:42.520 really have a direct access to you know i mean like he would have no need to anyway what do you
01:58:50.040 think about all that um yeah just explain no no i mean absolutely it's funny hearing it from
01:58:55.960 a liberal but also we're talking about a liberal from almost a century ago so yeah um
01:59:02.920 i know we gotta get going soon so i'm just gonna read a couple more parts here because i want to
01:59:06.280 make sure i do it justice i really like this book i would recommend it's very difficult to find um
01:59:11.800 or at least it was for me a great many of these canadian books that i really like
01:59:18.120 they're not widely spread i think there might be a reprint of it somewhere but like
01:59:22.440 it's it's really hard to find pdfs it's really hard to find like easy access to this stuff
01:59:30.840 the social good is not regarded as the simple result of merely adding together the differing
01:59:35.880 amounts of happiness acquired by a mass of individuals each pursuing the greatest amount
01:59:41.160 of happiness for himself in a basic independence of his fellows. It is rather, if implicitly,
01:59:48.400 recognized that a government is able to make its own distinctive contribution to the good life of
01:59:52.960 its people by ensuring the maintenance of general social condition, conducive rather than detrimental
01:59:58.680 to the realization of that life. Thus, in the traditional Canadian or British view, society is
02:00:05.080 not a number of basically independent individuals it is rather a community of persons bound together
02:00:11.220 by a common spirit of loyalty in an essentially unitary society the role of government is not
02:00:17.700 conceived in terms of a law to ensure the natural liberty or basic independence of each citizen
02:00:24.200 i think that's important because i think a lot of canadian identity got confused with american
02:00:31.800 identity and it's true to say that american identity was founded on individual liberty
02:00:37.560 all that stuff they talk about and i think canadians think that canada was founded the
02:00:42.660 same way and it absolutely was not uh we have a different government for a reason but it was it
02:00:48.640 was never really about individual liberty like that or natural liberty or basic independence
02:00:54.980 of each citizen so i i think the main argument he's making is that this thing he's talking about
02:01:01.620 is easier to sell to the canadian people at least back then i don't know if it works now considering
02:01:09.060 how many provinces or how many movements there are in canada trying to join with america 51st
02:01:17.300 state movement or alberta separation or whatever it might be right and this is why i think it's
02:01:23.460 so important for canadians to rediscover look we want to rediscover what makes us different than
02:01:30.020 americans first of all second of all we need to understand the history of our adversarial
02:01:38.780 relationship with america yes i'm not saying we need to remain there we don't need to stay stuck
02:01:43.880 there we should figure out a way to reconcile that and move forward because i actually think
02:01:48.100 we have more in common than we have different but i think this is important figuring out
02:01:53.540 understanding that we can't
02:01:56.140 be Americans that's not in us
02:01:57.920 culturally but if not that then what
02:02:00.040 I think a lot of people are looking for the
02:02:02.160 answer to that 0.99
02:02:02.920 we feel as if we're not Americans but what the fuck are we 0.98
02:02:06.160 well I think at the very least 0.99
02:02:08.360 this
02:02:09.820 points to a solution and it might
02:02:12.120 not be the one that people want to hear
02:02:13.820 but I think it presents
02:02:16.240 a definition of
02:02:18.100 the social order that
02:02:20.040 is separate from the American
02:02:21.960 conceptualization of social order and it it redirects us to like define what it is that
02:02:29.480 we actually want society because i don't think it's individual liberty if not that then what
02:02:33.880 how what is the canadian good life that's a very good question that's a question no one is asking
02:02:40.840 what does our good life look like can we define it you don't even say utopia i prefer not to
02:02:46.360 speak in those terms because that implies you know a sense of like power and resources just
02:02:53.240 say the good life what's the ideal life of a canadian and what's that social order look like
02:03:00.840 what's the day-to-day life look like you know anyway so i think you probably more or less agree
02:03:07.800 with that yeah no for sure as we've said before the our understanding of how a monarchy actually
02:03:14.200 operated was that it wasn't that the yes a monarch can be tyrannical so can a democratically elected
02:03:21.160 president as we've seen like there is no system to prevent really corruption and tyranny and this
02:03:27.560 is why i don't reject the populist solution in the sense that it is possible for a population
02:03:35.560 to revolts it is possible for a population to exert pressure enough to you know overthrow
02:03:43.000 a system like that has happened and you know it's not just that the tyrant can do whatever he wants
02:03:50.040 all the time some people believe that or some people believe that's not only how it works but
02:03:54.040 that is the perfect version of that system he says i'm just going to end it here he says
02:04:01.960 because the monarchical idea involves recognition of order within historical change that's what we
02:04:08.280 started with it's impossible for it to accept the newtonian idea of natural law supreme and
02:04:14.440 unchanging interesting within this you know monarchical idea it's a rejection of natural law
02:04:21.560 or the idea of inalienable rights for all men so it's almost is mounting a case against
02:04:29.880 universalism or the universalization of ethics and morality which is one com if not the only
02:04:36.920 complain about liberalism is that it tries to export and universalize itself but it's more
02:04:42.040 about trying to exist within change as an organism the good life existing within a changing world
02:04:49.640 as an evolving and changing organism not a rigid set of rules that we think can withstand change
02:04:57.680 because it never can that's a completely different way of looking at the problem which i i never
02:05:02.940 really heard described like that before he says the primary question for every democracy is what
02:05:08.780 is it that a people at the bottom respects is it mere power or the power required to enforce
02:05:14.620 its will wherever it may be or is it an idea of some true or good kind which all wish to realize
02:05:21.420 in their life together as a nation political authority is something quite distinct
02:05:26.220 from political power as the idea of man involves much more than the will of man so the idea of
02:05:31.740 authority involves much more than power. And I would, you know, put that to many of the elite
02:05:39.420 theorists out there. Those who prostrate themselves in worship of the will of the people
02:05:44.540 may thereby gain power to tear down and destroy, but they can never by any such means create an
02:05:49.940 enduring substitute for what you destroy. And we've discussed that before, the nature of
02:05:55.080 revolutions or even a martin gurry his book or both of the public said the the public they can
02:06:02.080 criticize and tear down but it can never replace what it tears down yeah the pure power machine
02:06:08.780 which this country now has fastened upon it at the bequest of william lyon mackenzie king
02:06:14.100 often seeks to dignify itself by an appeal to public opinion but opinion good or bad is not
02:06:20.460 the dominant factor in our present government
02:06:22.500 setup. For when the opinion
02:06:23.980 which is to govern need only possess the
02:06:26.440 numerical justification of a majority
02:06:28.560 opinion, it loses all
02:06:30.360 essential life. He's basically talking about
02:06:32.280 you're more
02:06:34.480 in love with the data and the numbers.
02:06:36.760 I've got the most check marks
02:06:38.440 on the ballot, so it's
02:06:40.360 numeracy, but it's not actually
02:06:42.540 taking the temperature
02:06:44.220 of the will of the people, which is
02:06:46.200 far more difficult to do, but
02:06:48.400 that's removed from the conversation entirely.
02:06:50.460 so that that's where you can get lost in the weeds on stats that don't seem to add up and
02:06:55.760 everything that's because you're not doing what you're supposed to do as a leader which is like
02:07:00.540 understand your people understand the mood of the nation understand what their real desires are
02:07:05.160 like right now would obviously be mass migration obviously but you know there's still this is why
02:07:12.040 the left has failed because they think you know what i actually think it's about universal health
02:07:15.800 care you know what i think it's it's it's about uh more free lunches for kids like that's because
02:07:23.380 you've been reading too many stats you can't look at you can't look at this from a more ancient
02:07:30.060 perspective which is what we at least can do you know viewing these in terms of forces and wills
02:07:36.960 and spaces occupied it's spatialized we can have a far more dynamic spatialized understanding
02:07:44.260 of how power flows we can have an ecosystem of change but that is completely lost on our enemies
02:07:52.200 anyway we've gone on long enough um at the this at the end of this what do you think yes yes
02:08:01.780 absolutely man bring it get into both sides here of the uh of the monarchist argument which i am
02:08:09.520 in favor of so happy to hear it i think the next consequential multi-generational
02:08:18.220 great man will emerge from canada yeah let's end with that i'm not going to elaborate on that
02:08:25.760 the next pole pot the next ball one of the guys one of the good guys one of the good guys is
02:08:35.120 gonna be canadian and he's gonna show up and billions must die is what they'll say they'll 1.00
02:08:42.180 say oh billions can't die how many it's gonna be billions and he's gonna rape 0.99
02:08:48.340 he's gonna he's gonna rape his way to mars i'm very tired all right so 0.78
02:08:56.180 we gotta head out thank you so much for taking the time no worries man it's been good see ya 0.73
02:09:00.500 welcome back to the nautical chronicle i'm the uh the host of this show uh clausington and i'm
02:09:22.860 joined by two friendly neighbors to the north how's it going yeah yeah i i just had to check
02:09:33.400 that uh i i don't know what what it is but something about reading about how i guess
02:09:41.320 uh upper canada and lower canada are geographically reversed like you'd expect
02:09:48.140 upper canada to be the north but it's it's in the south i i and we sell our milk in bags too
02:09:56.480 yeah so how's it going dimes how's it going fort well too bad it's going good am i correct in that
02:10:06.620 this is the lead-in to pony express radio did i hear that right so there there used to be a few
02:10:14.040 different um miscellaneous um i guess sort of i guess how would i say um pre-game shows i know
02:10:25.380 paul fairnight had you know two episodes of a pony express live or pony express radio um
02:10:32.160 show for like uh months and months ago although that kind of fizzled out um
02:10:40.900 um so i i just kind of picked up the habit initially i just wanted an excuse to chat with
02:10:47.940 uh you know guys that uh i'm quite fond of online while putting together you know various model
02:10:54.780 ships hence the knuckle chronicle well i tell you what i don't see this as any leading show to me
02:11:00.980 this is the main event pony express radio i'm thinking pony x girlfriends radio right no no
02:11:08.300 Hold on. As something of a founder and central committee chairman, I can't exactly – I will not tolerate these assaults from the North.
02:11:20.220 Let's be – just to make it official, that is not Pony X Girlfriend Radio.
02:11:26.040 That is – okay, yes. And you keep this up and we'll invade you a third time.
02:11:32.680 Well, apparently reading the news – and maybe this will be – we'll touch on this later on.
02:11:38.300 that uh the pleas for annexation from the north are very big right now and that's a story that's
02:11:46.420 been pretty consistent even pre-confederation of canada so if you were to invade and start war
02:11:53.360 like i don't know how like half of alberta would be into it i don't know what the exact numbers are
02:11:58.760 but it's looking grim yeah i have no clue how i guess it's how how
02:12:07.000 like who is actually in favor of annexation it's it's it seems like the you have to be a very be a
02:12:17.200 very um very odd canadian to yes especially an odd sort of right-wing canadian to want
02:12:25.620 uh american annexation after all as we're going to lead up to um as we're going to discuss
02:12:34.080 canada is something of i mean i i wouldn't necessarily say that's ideologically founded
02:12:43.600 on being anti-american i would say that
02:12:48.260 being opposed to american annexation is core to the founding mythos
02:12:54.940 um and that's part part of the reason why i uh i wanted to chat about the war of 1812 with you
02:13:02.400 guys because i guess there's a certain there are two american wars that people kind of
02:13:09.820 forget about you know two forgotten wars there's the war of 1812 and the korean war
02:13:15.120 um you know both get you know a few minutes of uh discussion in american high schools
02:13:24.340 during history classes and uh not too too much else um my impression is that the war of 1812 is
02:13:34.100 a much more seminal conflict for the canadians where you guys get to you know you guys have a
02:13:43.440 few great victories to to boast about many great heroes um and it's the final attempt from the u.s
02:13:53.040 to officially or i guess i guess meaningfully annex canada uh after that the border is somewhat
02:14:01.640 solidified um and hasn't budged too too much since uh excluding the far western you know
02:14:09.840 uh territories which yeah so first off i'm kind of curious how exactly like you know americans
02:14:22.320 we have you know 15 minutes of discussion in history class about war of 1812 the brits
02:14:28.640 don't even don't even think about it how how widely covered is war in i guess canadian
02:14:37.160 high schools or at least what's your impression of it dimes uh i think your experience may be a
02:14:43.180 little bit different from mine so please uh you know you can go ahead oh yeah so we were talking
02:14:47.900 about this just before we went live that both myself and four sacks i think have essentially
02:14:52.840 different viewpoints and by essentially i mean that he was brought up in quebec and i was in
02:14:57.840 ontario and if you're in canada that will seem very very significant to american audiences it
02:15:03.240 probably doesn't matter but i think the quebec perspective is very is going to be very different
02:15:09.860 and the uh heroes that focuses on just to answer your question um and i'm old as shit so it was
02:15:16.980 hard for me to recall precisely what we were taught in high school i do know that 1812 was a massive
02:15:23.160 part of our high school history classes as was the boer war uh there was a lot of the boer war
02:15:30.580 which i i doubt was ever covered in american history classes but yeah the war of 1812
02:15:35.480 very very important uh furthermore i think it sits very high in the it's very top of mind for
02:15:44.120 canadians um just in terms of quick recall because they can say oh that's when we burned down the
02:15:49.440 white house you'll still see that brought up to this day um which was just one minor aspect of
02:15:56.900 it most people don't have a thorough understanding of the war as most people don't have thorough
02:16:01.300 understandings of most wars but uh as i'm sure you're going to show that map that you drew that
02:16:06.240 i find very impressive um and anyone who's got an understanding of the american revolution as i'm
02:16:10.560 sure many of your viewers do um it's not just this block of a country it was very very messy it was
02:16:17.780 it was like fractals it was very dynamic but and the borders were very blurry and so one thing to
02:16:24.720 keep in mind is that war of 1812 is pre-confederation pre-confederation of canada which i believe
02:16:29.960 top of my head was like 1861 so that's when you start seeing the unification of this thing called
02:16:37.040 canada prior to that it was you know british north america and quebec who were really the originators
02:16:45.060 of the word canadians as i'm sure ford or sacks will back up but uh so when canadians say we
02:16:50.840 burned down the white house as canadians it's not accurate you could say the british and if
02:16:57.900 you're a british loyalist you could say that too but um a lot long story short it's it's a big part
02:17:04.820 of the canadian mythology and it's covered quite a bit in high school and there's landmarks
02:17:10.280 everywhere and just we were talking about this even in the weeks leading up to the show
02:17:15.100 So I believe, Clossington, this was started by you were taking a vacation or some kind of excursion to the border areas and you start seeing references to the war.
02:17:26.040 Is that correct?
02:17:27.360 So that came about when I was in Erie.
02:17:31.980 I have various construction jobs going on up in Erie.
02:17:37.860 so naturally i have to check out the erie maritime the erie maritime museum which
02:17:46.080 this is the uh a replica of oliver hazard perry's uh flagship uh uss niagara
02:17:55.420 um it used to be in port but now it's out in maine getting some some getting some repairs
02:18:02.700 um but yeah i i am out in erie every once in a while and erie is one of the i guess one of the
02:18:13.340 three or four big things that you know students are taught about the war of 1812 in america
02:18:19.220 um i guess in american high schools we're taught um war hawks uh drumming up war against the
02:18:29.280 british uh we're taught about you know failed a failed um invasion of canada uh really emphasizes
02:18:38.920 um you know battle of lake erie emphasizes um burning of the white house and the national
02:18:46.560 anthem and then uh battle of new orleans and that's just about it um but yeah i was going
02:18:56.880 just add to that and i'm trying to paint a picture for the american listeners here that in ontario
02:19:02.480 where i'm at you will see the word loyalist everywhere uh loyalists it's on streets it's
02:19:09.840 on schools it's on buildings and if you're just brought up in it you might not even know what
02:19:13.920 that means but what that meant is british loyalist and so which is to say that the conflict between
02:19:22.160 the british and america is everywhere you are if you start paying attention to it and thinking
02:19:27.120 about it so to your earlier point the war of 1812 is but one historical flashpoint that i think
02:19:35.920 encapsulates a very long-standing tension between the north and the south uh not only militaristically
02:19:43.760 but you know culturally too insofar as you know we want to be that's what loyalist implies and i
02:19:49.440 I think I've spoken long enough, so I'm sure Fortisax has much more to say.
02:19:53.420 Sure.
02:19:55.180 I would, you know, I'd start by saying, like, I'd second a lot of what Dimes says.
02:20:00.580 The thing with the War of 1812 is that it's kind of been, it's been very diluted.
02:20:06.040 It's been kind of turned into this Reddit gold.
02:20:09.020 We did it, Reddit.
02:20:10.280 We burnt down the White House.
02:20:12.260 And, like, that's the only thing that a Canadian can tell you about the War of 1812.
02:20:18.020 They don't know who Laura Secord is. They don't know who Isaac Brock was. They couldn't tell you about the military genius of Isaac Brock. They couldn't tell you that Ontarians had spent the preceding 50 years since the American Revolution forming military sanctuaries, all in southern Ontario, specifically in the anticipation of American invasion, and that they were drilled.
02:20:44.040 and there was no separation between citizen and soldier basically everybody was a minute man
02:20:48.640 like a kind of loyalist minute man john graves simcoe built the infrastructure of southern
02:20:53.760 ontario uh on military logic the times the the towns and all the townies were were and the
02:21:00.340 highways and all of this were built along that's for the ease of uh transportation of soldiers
02:21:07.040 and equipment and so on and so forth in quebec they kind of skim over a lot of the
02:21:12.160 Anglo aspect of it. But they do focus on Isaac Brock's counterpart, who is Charles de Salaberry.
02:21:20.660 And de Salaberry was in the French colonial army before he was recruited into the British-led
02:21:26.540 armed forces. And he is known for his amazing victory in the Battle of Chattagy, where they
02:21:32.120 fooled the Americans into thinking they were outnumbered and retreated, promptly. And if not
02:21:37.220 for that victory the americans may have taken southern quebec and moved on to uh to um to take
02:21:43.420 the rest of it they didn't so of course the difference is that salivary didn't die um salivary
02:21:48.960 was leading the voltigers who are this kind of asymmetrical asymmetrical military force like
02:21:55.060 skilled in ambushes and guerrilla tactics and um very north american style fighting not not so much
02:22:01.560 line uh line infantry line battles the way they did in europe well also quebec was a massive
02:22:08.480 target like benedict arnold invaded quebec well that's because in quebec there was the only
02:22:14.440 infrastructure in canada was basically in in montreal in quebec city so like this is long
02:22:20.200 before the city of york kind of rose to become toronto um you know there were towns and settlements
02:22:25.880 in southern ontario but nothing to the size or or the population of of the previously inhabited
02:22:31.680 you know quebec which was like 80 000 people 70 000 people at that point so yeah like uh when i
02:22:39.340 when i really got into i guess the statistics of what canada actually looked like um the the
02:22:46.940 number thrown around is that lower canada sort of modern day quebec had roughly uh it's around
02:22:54.340 350 000 ish people and upper canada marinday ontario uh had roughly 80 000 ish you know give
02:23:04.680 or take uh plus about 100 000 around the uh the seaborne you know eastern um provinces
02:23:14.740 the maritimes yeah yeah the maritimes uh by comparison the u.s had about
02:23:22.100 uh about seven seven and a half million people um and just like canada uh we had
02:23:31.500 militias where every man between the ages of like 18 and 60 had to uh drill with his
02:23:40.100 local militia company every month like once a month or once a quarter uh drilling on how to
02:23:47.260 respond to indian raids uh because there are a lot of indians out here and the thing about indians
02:23:56.180 is um if you make a treat if a chief makes a treaty and that chief dies his son isn't on the
02:24:04.900 hook legally to abide by these trees so we we end up with is a bunch of raiding we call that indian
02:24:11.840 dying yeah um but so i i also um i don't mean to interrupt you i also wanted to say there's a
02:24:20.880 misconception i think on both the canadian and the american side um that this was a predominantly
02:24:27.300 british-led war while it's true that the military leadership were british like obviously brock was
02:24:32.700 from guernsey he was from the island of guernsey the actual soldiers doing the fighting were native
02:24:37.780 born loyalists like as in they were north americans who had been there for at least 200 years
02:24:42.820 since the mayflower so you know when they say well it wasn't it wasn't canadians who burned
02:24:48.460 down the white house that's not exactly accurate it's not entirely true but it's not exactly
02:24:52.880 accurate well before we get into i guess the the course of the war uh let's get into i guess some
02:25:03.020 of the the backstory on how the war actually got started and i guess the canadian perspective on
02:25:09.660 i guess what would you say american predation or oh 100 1812 might as well have been maybe a
02:25:20.420 tuesday for the united states for canada it was a total existential struggle it was a total war
02:25:28.140 I'm talking like, so you have this Anglican Tory elite in Upper Canada who had regrouped from 1776, and they're out for blood, they're out for revenge, their struggle against revolutionary fervor, which they refer to as the age of madness and the age of reason, continued unabashed.
02:25:54.180 they had national schools that were tied to this anglican oligarchy they were called the family
02:25:59.520 compact and they were basically landed gentry and all but named they tried to even recreate the
02:26:04.340 the uh landed gentry system of the united kingdom in ontario problem is they didn't have any landed
02:26:10.820 noblemen like actual uh knighted men who who sort of rose through the ranks of becoming counts and
02:26:16.760 dukes and whatever um and they were deeply reactionary they were deeply obsessed with
02:26:21.540 idea of loyalty and loyalism and there's a misconception that loyalism is simply blind
02:26:26.820 loyalty to the institution of the british crown and this is wrong loyalism ended up evolving
02:26:32.100 into this entire counter-revolutionary ideology that was very reactionary in a way very similar
02:26:38.820 to your dixies i would say very similar to your uh cavaliers in the southeast um who rejected
02:26:47.060 yankee industry and and uh and and liberalism yeah and also another note is that the demographics
02:26:55.080 during this whole period are very interesting and that you had a lot of americans that resided
02:26:59.900 in these what we call canadian territories and there was a lot of british loyalists that were
02:27:05.140 in america so another way to understand the loyalist phenomenon is so many of the loyalists
02:27:10.860 were chased into canada because they were being dispossessed and like literally tarred and
02:27:18.140 feathered in america there's this great book i'm sure you're familiar with the true history of the
02:27:22.780 american revolution by sydney george fisher um i know the american revolution heads out there will
02:27:29.660 have heard of it but that's why there was so much animosity towards america because you had these
02:27:36.860 what were effectively british refugees coming into canada and saying like i i hate america
02:27:43.340 because they killed my family because they killed my family they seized my property they 0.97
02:27:48.380 fucking desecrated my church and like there's a huge uh and this is probably the most esoteric 0.97
02:27:54.460 aspect of 1776 and the war of 1812 a lot of this was heavily religiously motivated with the and 0.99
02:28:01.820 i'm pulling from robert passfield who is a great scholar on this subject he wrote the upper canadian
02:28:06.860 anglican tory mind and torian toryism in upper canada and so um these loyalists viewed themselves
02:28:15.380 as being part of a holy war they viewed themselves as as being the sword of the church of england
02:28:20.460 against what they called the dissenting ministers specifically the puritans they hated puritans
02:28:27.800 they hated massachusetts they blamed massachusetts for even starting the american revolutionary war
02:28:33.760 um and so they viewed this this intentional separation of the church of of england uh
02:28:40.320 under heretical terms so there's a there's a vicious sectarian uh elements to this whole thing
02:28:46.580 too that has been totally washed away um by time in history uh that i find very fascinating and
02:28:52.980 another thing just i feel like this is all painting a picture but i think it's an essential
02:28:56.660 picture at the time to contextualize this is that my reading of the history was that the colonies
02:29:03.640 and if you pay attention to the period this was occurring in you know there's a lot of stuff going
02:29:08.700 on in europe at the time but it felt that the british colonies and especially the french
02:29:15.200 colonies weren't taken too seriously by their homelands and didn't get a lot of material
02:29:20.960 support and i think this is what drove uh those in quebec and new france to become we are canadians
02:29:28.660 like we are a distinct people and i think that that i think for sex you yourself have made the
02:29:34.900 case correct me if i'm wrong that you know this this thing called canada really originated in
02:29:40.580 quebec um and that sort of momentum and i think that also created many pressures what for us
02:29:48.740 i was just describing the pressure from militia because you got the sense that no help was coming
02:29:54.580 and i remember there's this quote from even here like voltaire had some quotes about okay and he
02:30:00.820 was just dismissing the region of quebec saying it's a couple of acres of frozen tundra like over
02:30:06.820 in france didn't give they didn't give a what was going on over here so if you were over here
02:30:10.740 it's like you need to carve this out yourself and i think it's why we needed it's why we needed
02:30:15.620 state mandated girlfriends yeah with it was it the field something yeah state mandated gfs for
02:30:23.620 everyone i recall that's more of a french skill issue than anything else
02:30:28.400 look nobody wanted to have kids in this frozen wasteland right which is fair okay it's it's 0.98
02:30:36.400 negative 40 44 i didn't know you could use mods for child rearing i didn't know you could fucking 0.96
02:30:43.180 download shit um so yeah in another thing i think klaus you'll find very fascinating is that 0.92
02:30:50.740 and you even see you see parallels to this in in modernity um because the population around 1812 0.97
02:30:59.760 was like one-third loyalist one-third late loyalists who were actually just americans
02:31:05.220 and one-third british emigres or settlers uh the tory oligarchy was scared they were scared
02:31:13.060 they were terrified of and suspicious of subversion of infiltration of republicans
02:31:19.560 coming in liberals trying to change these the this so-called sanctuary that they had established
02:31:25.000 um this monarchical christian sanctuary against the the all-consuming mass of liberal republicanism
02:31:33.400 and they made it into a public cult um they sponsored celebrations of royal anniversaries
02:31:38.600 they built monuments to loyalist heroes they ensured that churches and schools reinforced
02:31:44.360 monarchism and only read the the anglican bible and um this they would make citizens prove their
02:31:52.920 loyalty and proving loyalty meant like affirm affirming publicly their their loyalism their
02:31:58.440 loyalty to anti-revolutionary ideals um loyalty to the church and crown the whole the the phrase
02:32:04.920 that passfield uses is thrown an altar they were obsessed with this phrase thrown an altar um and
02:32:11.480 they would it was it's like they'd test they would test the public you'd go out you'd accuse somebody
02:32:16.120 of not being sufficiently loyalist he would face this public humiliation ritual where he now has
02:32:21.240 to like prove how loyalist he is um in a way that's that parallels in ironically in some ways
02:32:26.920 perhaps uh elements of of the patriot movement or or even the french revolution it was very much a
02:32:33.480 counter revolution not in that it was a reactionary thing but trying to throw your own revolution and
02:32:39.640 And as Dimes said, that sense of abandonment wasn't just felt by the French.
02:32:44.960 It was also felt by the Tories, because in the Revolutionary War, the British officers didn't really care about the loyalists.
02:32:51.840 They thought the loyalists were unreliable because the loyalists would often go AWOL.
02:32:56.740 They would try to get their land and property back.
02:32:59.120 They would target specific patriot militias.
02:33:02.120 They would break ranks and seek revenge, things like this.
02:33:05.400 But ultimately, they didn't care.
02:33:06.780 They thought that Canada was a backwater.
02:33:08.740 and uh and france just didn't invest in it and so and i'll end my plane on this and we can move on
02:33:15.460 uh as we set up this this picture the anglican tories of upper canada viewed themselves as
02:33:21.680 um more hardcore than britain they thought that britain had grown soft with whigs with with
02:33:28.160 liberalism and so they would outdo them they would outdo them at their own traditions they
02:33:32.720 would become the sword of the empire this kind of um aggressive reactionary um conservatism if the
02:33:39.800 british would not stand and fight against this this scourge this plague of liberal republicanism
02:33:46.000 then they would do it and they'd be you know well yeah i just want to say it's it's very important
02:33:50.780 they just said that i'm sorry to just i feel like we're building a picture but it's also to answer
02:33:55.500 your initial question of how it's taught in schools because in my recollection it's taught
02:34:02.580 as like it was british versus america as as if it was just another front in the american rev like
02:34:10.320 the american revolution is the main story and then this is just a part of britain's pushback
02:34:15.800 you mean the napoleonic wars yeah and and also like what what foresack said which is that
02:34:21.620 these two things first of all those fighting against america weren't just british soldiers
02:34:28.960 that are brought in they'd been living here for quite some if you go back into the the founding
02:34:33.380 the building of the maps of canada from jacques cartier and champlain and and many others and
02:34:40.940 carving out these trading posts and these people have been settled here for quite some time but
02:34:45.760 on top of that and this is never brought up it's everything fortisacs just said about the the not
02:34:52.160 an ideological but a spiritual war like the the each side was fundamentally opposed to the other
02:34:58.720 and that's not taught in schools at all from what i can remember it's almost seen as just a historical
02:35:04.480 quirk or it's it's materialistic or it's about territory but it's it's so much deeper than that
02:35:10.400 and that's why that as far as actually just establishing the roots of the war there
02:35:15.200 and it goes right into the core of canadian identity and i don't think that's ever been
02:35:19.280 resolved um and that's why it's still somewhat ongoing um what what i am kind of curious about
02:35:27.440 is how i guess the indian allies of the british during this war are portrayed uh
02:35:35.360 Like, in terms of justification for the War of 1812, there's the, most schools emphasize, you know, American sailors being impressed onto British naval ships.
02:35:57.960 But what's often downplayed was the tenacity of Tecumseh's Rebellion, the Red Stick War, and the complicity of the British in supplying arms and guidance for the massacre of many American settlers.
02:36:20.920 uh but i'm not sure how it's taught in schools in in canada where we're not taught much at all
02:36:31.060 uh about this aspect in america no and the canadian government would not go this angle
02:36:37.240 in teaching the actual history of the war of 1812 because the implications are just too severe
02:36:42.420 for the cultural revolution and the institutions that have been established since the 60s and the
02:36:48.740 70s like this completely turns on its head this fiction of canada being this place of always
02:36:56.100 becoming um it suggests that there is a definitive canadian people with two polarities it suggests
02:37:02.840 that our origins are just as ideological and spiritual as other nations who are born in
02:37:09.500 conflict um it is completely against the narrative of canada being a post-national economic zone
02:37:15.360 so they would never teach any of this they would never ever go this far into um emphasizing the
02:37:22.920 fact that ontario was trying to be warhammer 40k in the 19th century
02:37:28.040 um in in terms of i guess being a little bit more specific on the indian question
02:37:38.780 like you guys alluded to there are only like 80 000 like anglo like anglos and you know loyalists
02:37:48.880 up in upper canada one of the strategies for mitigating american encroachments onto
02:37:55.860 onto the frontier was potentially propping up a native american buffer zone in the northwest
02:38:06.460 territories um by specific by specifically arming uh tecumseh and his prophet brother in this
02:38:16.100 um well it's a it's a reactionary revolt against american settlers settling on the
02:38:24.240 in the midwest around indiana and michigan um at the time the american government about
02:38:32.360 a third of its budget was uh coming from the sale of this western land and most of our banking
02:38:41.840 system was based off of the securities of land speculation deals you know big company buys you
02:38:50.500 know a hundred eight hundred thousand acres of land they sell it off to you know smaller scale
02:38:57.920 settlers at 10 acre lots and you know buy these big territories wholesale mark up the price for
02:39:06.660 the nice cushy settlements and make up the difference in profit but this securities market
02:39:13.680 is what's really propping up the american economy especially after we got into all sorts of embargo
02:39:20.880 conflicts with you know napoleon and britain um and and i i really want to emphasize like after
02:39:30.280 like between i think the statistic the statistic was something like between um you know 1800 and
02:39:38.660 1812 like 9 000 american sailors were impressed onto british ships out of a total of like 60 000
02:39:47.480 american merchant marine sailmen uh sailors like the scale is pretty it's pretty bleak
02:39:56.000 and uh the tenacity and you know viciousness of the indian attacks is it's really quite startling
02:40:04.240 um like down south yes like down south um the red sticks uh this is you know in the midpoint
02:40:13.180 around the midpoint of the war um the cherokee were basically split into two factions the pro-war
02:40:21.140 uh faction that wanted to or there's a pro-peace faction that wanted to integrate with american
02:40:29.740 uh with american sellers and to actually settle down and have farms and you know
02:40:36.740 have a written language or whatever and then there are the red stick you know reactionaries
02:40:43.280 that wanted to return to tribe uh they started by mass by you know killing off their um pro-peace
02:40:53.360 uh farming settlements and then they committed the fort men's massacre where they killed about
02:41:00.600 uh 250 uh american militiamen and then killed another 250 uh men women or you know women and
02:41:10.940 children that were also in the fort and scalped them all they love doing that yeah i love doing
02:41:16.500 that up here too and i think 40 made a good point earlier where it's like a good amount of this
02:41:22.320 history aside from tecumseh that is uh wallpapered over because i don't think they want the stories
02:41:29.380 of what these tribal bands got up to because the allegiances between various groups and then the
02:41:37.720 various uh we call them aboriginals up here or natives but i remember aboriginals um because we
02:41:44.740 have we have a different problem with indians up here so it's we have to keep a firm demarcation
02:41:50.220 between that um i mean the stories you would read um and these these are even covered in modern
02:41:56.060 literature like when i was reading about um like the people who basically discovered canada as
02:42:01.880 they're trying to discover uh river passage to the west um they had to partner with tribes along the
02:42:08.060 way and their relationships tended to be a bit different than those in america but if you read
02:42:13.640 the journal entries from maybe not champlain but um like mckenzie yes yes from champlain yeah in
02:42:21.500 as far back as i was thinking of uh jack not cartier kind of cartoon not really but champlain
02:42:27.780 yes and then um mackenzie yes where like they would partner with like a tribe i think it would 0.97
02:42:36.180 have been the name escapes me but they're one of they're not crazy like the fucking comanches like 0.95
02:42:42.180 they were sort of reasonable but they'd just be walking along they'd find a village of women and 0.98
02:42:47.440 children it's like okay we have to hold on we have to go torture them to death like for just
02:42:51.280 no reason and they're describing like all they did was like they would torture everyone for days
02:42:58.600 just because that's what you did so it's no doubt in my mind that any average the canadian aboriginal
02:43:05.600 tribes even there was one that was pretty consequential which would have been the
02:43:11.920 five nations of the algonquin that would probably be the biggest one they were notable because
02:43:16.600 you mean they were iroquois oh iroquois sorry yeah iroquois um the algonquin are different but
02:43:22.140 the iroquois were making inroads again and they were just decimating every other tribe
02:43:27.320 yeah and that's so it's like who are you brokering relationships with this kind of whoever's near you
02:43:33.840 and then so the relationships with certain tribes might have been like true savages but yes you
02:43:39.920 needed them it's you know like that like cannibalism um human sacrifice and torture
02:43:47.860 are not things that you would typically associate with north american history certainly not the
02:43:52.980 first nations the way you would i don't know cortez's um cortez's excursions into south
02:44:00.540 america but the reality is we actually did have that up here um they did casually torture and
02:44:06.360 maim everybody they just came across in fact that is what the beaver wars were that hundred year war
02:44:12.300 between the early 1600s to 1700 was just the Iroquois killing beavers to trade for guns so
02:44:19.400 that they could exterminate their neighbors which they did yeah see that tribe there it's called the
02:44:24.120 neutral tribe and they were remarkable because different tribes had different levels of societal
02:44:29.560 advancement and the neutrals were remarkable because they had mastered agriculture because
02:44:35.260 they were neutral they didn't want to participate in these wars right so they actually when they
02:44:39.020 just came across and they said they were remarkable for actually understanding something
02:44:42.960 like agriculture where these other tribes just did not they just migrated with uh the animals
02:44:48.680 with the seasons and of course they were utterly decimated like it didn't take long before they
02:44:53.500 were just like wiped out well like um you know i have this handy dandy before the beaver wars
02:44:59.540 map you know early 1600s and then afterwards um you know around the year 1700 uh the iroquois
02:45:10.040 the iroquois didn't actually settle in uh you know pennsylvania and ohio down here they're more
02:45:18.820 just empty farming or empty hunting lands that uh they seasonally hunt uh for various pelts around
02:45:28.140 there but completely depopulated all these tribes are just either gone or like expelled
02:45:36.220 um and you know what this is just a side thing but something i'm going to talk about on blood
02:45:42.520 salad because we're going to cover these books that i read on the show as well there's this
02:45:46.700 common myth in when you learn about our relationship with aboriginals or indians that
02:45:54.480 you know um america was discovered then they left and then they came back a few years later
02:46:00.040 and all the villages were empty where there were once these great populations it was completely
02:46:06.360 desolate and they say well it must have been all the diseases that the new world brought right
02:46:12.180 i'm sure that there was some but once you read the history like it's so fucking obvious that
02:46:18.820 these villages were just wiped out by opposing tribes but that's one of the things that they
02:46:23.120 they can't introduce that if these there's only something like what 200 000 of them in total
02:46:28.860 like north in canada certainly like there wasn't a lot they were all spread out and i was always
02:46:34.700 thinking about it's like okay you're saying these villages are banned so it must have been disease
02:46:38.260 i'm like well if it was disease there would still be bodies there you would find bones you'd find
02:46:43.640 skeletons but there's no one there so maybe they were just captured and enslaved and raped and
02:46:49.500 then their tendons ripped out because that's what they did they gouged your eyes out and then would
02:46:54.500 cut open your arm and take just take out whatever they found in there and laugh at you that's what
02:46:59.660 they did champlain has um champlain has this go on like a few numbers onto this uh the iroquois
02:47:07.640 really only had a population of like 30 000 to 40 000 ish between the five tribes like uh
02:47:16.780 pennsylvania like down here former sesquahannock there are only about 5 000 natives in this big
02:47:23.520 state like almost no one lived in ohio it's just completely depopulated after these brutal wars of
02:47:31.720 genocide um and then you know the one the the nice tribes that decided to hey let's put down
02:47:41.500 some roots and uh actually you know start farming you know they get massacred by their compatriots
02:47:49.280 over and over and over again like we we don't talk about like no one talks about king philip's war
02:47:55.840 um when the pilgrim so like mid 1600s you know the pilgrims and puritans have settled massachusetts
02:48:09.080 uh in larger and larger numbers and a whole lot of the indians are converting to christianity
02:48:16.320 and some are starting to settle down um and this and the nice uh chief that made the first initial
02:48:24.880 treaties with the puritans he passes away and his bloodthirsty uh son takes over uh kills
02:48:33.400 all of the christian converts and then starts waging you know this bloody uh race war against
02:48:41.340 the against the settlers and you know they end up losing but the but at great cost to many many
02:48:51.060 puritan towns and you know that was what it was like out west uh right before the war of 1812
02:49:00.500 and um and before the war of 1812 kicks off uh tecumseh's confederacy uh loses at the battle
02:49:11.500 of tippy canoe and it's discovered that a significant amount of these guns are conveniently
02:49:19.340 british made either purchased through uh through trade or just given to them by british agents
02:49:27.880 and after dealing with like 20 years of indian wars on the frontiers on the frontier and seeing
02:49:36.500 that you know the natives are getting an upper hand by the brits uh to kill americans this
02:49:42.280 this enrages a whole lot of people um so on top of the paranoia of you know the british don't
02:49:51.820 entirely uh don't entirely respect our neutrality they uh they fire upon an american ship around
02:50:01.180 norfolk the uh the uss chesapeake uh down here uh and drag off four of its sailors
02:50:11.260 uh hanging one of them who was an actual you know an actual deserter
02:50:15.420 um but then kidnapping you know three other americans which wasn't very cool so
02:50:22.760 anyone who kind of had a backbone um particularly resented the british in america
02:50:32.360 but i i can see how i guess from the canadian perspective many of these upper canadians are
02:50:40.940 loyalists who are as you say thrown in altar reactionaries don't particularly like americans
02:50:48.840 either um and this buffer state is the closest thing that you can get to you know a buffer
02:50:56.960 between you guys and this expanding you know this westward expansion uh that will eventually
02:51:04.780 envelop everything i i can see it the total the total victory condition was not achieved in order
02:51:11.320 to turn michigan into basically a first nations ethnostate um but i do find it interesting that
02:51:17.560 the americans would copy the idea with the trail of tears when they tried to relocate all of the
02:51:22.400 remaining first nations up there it seems that it ended up kind of happening anyway i don't know
02:51:29.520 what happened to those first nations in the in the succeeding years but but i do know that that that
02:51:34.380 forced relocation was supposed to kind of recreate that plan as a kind of sort of buffer zone sort
02:51:40.540 of neutral territory between the two well well uh for the oklahoma territory um what happened was
02:51:49.500 out of these uh these sort of five civilized tribes in this american south um in order to
02:51:58.220 sort of jumpstart the american economy after we killed our central bank we had a sort of
02:52:04.680 liquidity crisis and we needed to stimulate the economy so these dastardly engines who
02:52:14.480 you know just uh 10 years earlier and rose up and killed a whole bunch of settlers you know
02:52:20.880 seize their land and ship them out to uh oklahoma out here which is
02:52:28.160 interesting yeah it's like red right yeah like red around here um but then we just you know
02:52:40.620 privatize that land later on anyways so it didn't really go it didn't really work out too much for
02:52:47.500 um i guess in terms of the course of the war and how it affected canada in particular
02:52:57.280 uh there are three major fronts in on the canadian border right uh there are about
02:53:05.140 2 000 amer well i know the american figures pretty well there are about 2 000 americans
02:53:11.180 at the start of the war in fort detroit uh they're about 2 600 around uh around buffalo
02:53:19.080 and then around lake champlain they're about 6 800 um by comparison i think the figure is
02:53:29.180 somewhere between like 10 000 12 000 british soldiers on the field uh something like that
02:53:37.040 The Native Americans, Tecumseh's force is somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 soldiers, but those were the major three fronts.
02:53:50.300 The main objective for the Americans was, one of the books that I read as research described Canada in its new strategic situation as something like a tree, where the main corridor up here is how all the supplies comes in.
02:54:10.200 it's how all of the uh it's where all the population is and the tree has various branches
02:54:16.140 that um are sort of side shows as opposed to the main event and if you cut down the tree and take
02:54:26.240 montreal uh that's pretty much it for uh for it's the canadian defense like even after the americans
02:54:36.520 uh took uh york martin day toronto that was just a supply hub for the rest of the the branches
02:54:44.140 in upper canada we could never we could never really take the main trunk around uh around
02:54:50.520 montreal french canadians also had their own reasons for fanaticism um in this conflict that
02:54:59.820 serve as a
02:55:02.040 serve as a bridge between
02:55:04.280 themselves and the oncoming
02:55:06.260 loyalists who they had
02:55:08.260 their own obvious differences with, ethnic
02:55:10.100 differences, religious differences, cultural
02:55:12.080 and linguistic
02:55:13.080 but for
02:55:16.220 them
02:55:16.580 the English specifically
02:55:20.460 who
02:55:21.120 led the Acadian expulsion were
02:55:24.240 actually from New England
02:55:25.360 and this kind of permafride
02:55:28.180 them um into a trauma response where they would rather ally with the anglican british than become
02:55:35.140 subjects or subordinates to new york new england puritans and so they were very very aggressively
02:55:41.780 opposed to them and this also goes back to the quebec act because the british um tolerated the
02:55:50.180 exist once they acquired quebec in in the war they left them alone they left the seigneurial
02:55:56.420 system alone they left the clergy alone they left those 70 000 uh french canadians alone and the
02:56:03.300 american colonists didn't like that because they wanted that land to expand it to particularly
02:56:07.220 southern quebec there are a number of towns actually that were founded by um those uh loyalist
02:56:13.300 methodists there are still methodist churches in southern quebec uh closer to the border of the us
02:56:18.900 uh that were founded by by those initial settlers and uh they hated the puritans too which is
02:56:25.380 interesting they they were aggressive in their defense they saw the acadian expulsion not as a
02:56:31.820 british thing but specifically as a as a continental thing as a as a um as an american thing now these
02:56:38.920 days french canadian national or sorry quebec nationalists and separatists will claim oh it was
02:56:42.980 the english it was the british etc um but the reality was that the expulsions were not approved
02:56:48.260 of by british authorities it was local militia in new england who decided to round up and and
02:56:54.740 disperse the the uh the acadians although in defense of the english at that time of new
02:57:00.720 england uh the acadians refused to stop the war and peace was settled and they continued fighting
02:57:06.360 um and they also refused to at least proclaim neutrality by swearing allegiance to the crown 0.91
02:57:13.420 and uh you know they faffoed basically it sucks it's it's a shitty situation for everybody involved 0.87
02:57:19.720 in that situation but they they kind of did deserve it well one of the ironies is that 0.94
02:57:27.320 like as you say the quebecois have a particular have particular animus against puritans but
02:57:34.840 the actual states that were opposed to war and expansion into canada were yes you know
02:57:42.280 we're against exactly new england was like new england almost separated from the u.s over the
02:57:47.140 war of 1812 so the the hartford convention is i i don't think it's it's quite that extreme if you
02:58:00.540 look into what the the provisions that they actually advocate for uh constitutional reforms
02:58:07.100 for uh increasing the threshold for declaring war uh more apportionment better apportionment
02:58:17.120 of congressional seats, but the mere fact that later on in the war, in 1815, the war's been
02:58:26.220 grinding on for a while, the Federalists of New England meet in Connecticut, this little
02:58:36.080 orange CT, they bring up the idea of seceding from the United States, all these orange territories
02:58:46.340 up north orange states up north um throughout the war many of the you know new england yankees
02:58:55.740 end up supplying the canadians with food and rations and end up you know assisting the brits
02:59:03.660 throughout the war um this is the you know when uh jefferson embargoes britain a lot of these
02:59:12.620 yankee uh merchants end up smuggling goods into canada anyways uh then you know this is the
02:59:21.940 mercantile hub of the u.s yes as opposed to the land like expansionist like western and southern
02:59:30.340 states whose economies are based off of mostly land speculation although the cotton uh you know
02:59:39.540 cotton gin was invented in i think like the late 1790s and cotton was starting to catch on
02:59:47.380 uh as a profitable crop uh it should be noted that slavery was actually starting to die out in the
02:59:54.900 south throughout the 1700s uh it was extremely unprofitable the south's economy was turning more
03:00:03.060 more into just land speculation and growing like more more investing in in land development rather
03:00:09.920 than you know the agricultural commodities market until the congen came along but that that's that's
03:00:18.400 i like that that's becoming more popular too like when we had our mutual friend christopher sandbatch
03:00:24.060 on our show for the first time years ago that's what he talked about and that's such like a an
03:00:29.920 arguing that breaks so many people's mind frames they haven't even considered it that just like
03:00:35.600 no like i think the slaves are actually becoming this like an asset class that
03:00:40.720 people were just holding on to and didn't know what to do with well well the like the sandbatch
03:00:46.780 thesis for uh slavery uh kicking off the american civil war is that we killed the second bank of the
03:00:55.040 U.S., which was a central bank that particularly favored northern, very corrupt northern mercantile
03:01:04.560 interests and stock jobbers and people who could afford to buy in to buy U.S. bonds at the expense
03:01:16.740 of southerners who didn't have access to credit from these northern banks that had bonds from the
03:01:24.200 us um but what killing the central bank did was uh the one guarantor of easy credit uh just got
03:01:35.960 beheaded and instead uh a bunch of uh bank of england bearings bank bank of rothschild
03:01:45.120 they filled in the credit the they started buying up southern credit and would only take
03:01:51.740 collateral in slaves uh causing a runaway evaluation of slaves uh at the same time you know
03:02:02.860 the the um the market the the market for land crashed because uh
03:02:11.260 jackson kind of stole all this southern land from the native americans but the the real estate
03:02:17.980 market collapsed uh corn futures kind of shit the bed so the only thing that we actually had to
03:02:25.740 collateralize was slaves but that's that's like a sandwich hypothesis we're here to talk about
03:02:33.260 war of 1812 um there are several i guess very big early battles right uh for well
03:02:43.340 Well, going front by front, the American force in Fort Detroit stuck its pinky into Ontario, ran back home after fearing some Indian attacks, Indian ambushes, and surrendered to Canadian General Isaac Brock after some fast deception.
03:03:09.580 um and then this is this is after right after the war breaks out uh second invasion of canada
03:03:19.720 uh you know later on in the year uh american regulars tried to storm uh queenston heights
03:03:27.840 around around niagara but the militia units that make up the bulk of the army refuse to
03:03:36.400 you know cross into canada because uh the militia aren't authorized to exactly go outside of their
03:03:44.400 state so um isaac brock is able to send them back packing across the u.s border but he himself dies
03:03:53.840 in the process and then the main army up north that's trying to take montreal
03:04:02.380 um they engage in i believe one small battle but then just completely collapse and run back home
03:04:12.700 and pathetically you know run home with their tails behind them um 1.00
03:04:20.340 and this uh this very first year um it's a complete shit show for the americans 0.99
03:04:29.520 um in the next year um there's a major battle of lake erie where a small well where the americans 0.94
03:04:41.140 just kind of build this navy from scratch and are able to take over lake erie
03:04:47.240 after this rather epic battle and put in bay um i didn't put and then afterwards the americans are
03:04:56.320 able to uh have access to the lake where they uh you know burn well after an accidental explosion
03:05:04.720 happens uh kind of burn down york capital of upper canada and have to you know have to
03:05:13.880 evacuate afterwards uh for fear of you know brits coming back to retaliate um
03:05:22.100 and i don't believe that there's there are too too many other big battles um across
03:05:31.660 canada in 1813 1814 there's a disastrous invasion um the disastrous invasion of
03:05:42.580 uh vermont where the brits are beaten back at a battle of lake champlain um
03:05:50.540 and i believe the like tecumseh tecumseh ends up passing away and his confederation just
03:05:59.300 completely collapses uh meanwhile the battles ck2 moment yeah me like meanwhile down south
03:06:08.560 like we like i said earlier the red sticks massacre their own people and start massacring
03:06:14.240 settlers um andrew jackson ends up fighting and defeating them um by 1814 the napoleonic wars
03:06:26.420 have wrapped up and napoleon is exiled um leaving a bunch of these veterans uh these
03:06:35.800 british veterans free to actually retaliate against the americans uh they send a large force
03:06:42.640 that ends up uh burning down washington dc uh they're not able to uh take baltimore which is
03:06:52.700 over here the the fourth biggest u.s city uh i don't think people realize that washington dc is
03:06:59.920 basically like a swamp with like three with like three inns at this point um so baltimore is a
03:07:09.080 little bit more of a more of a strategic target um after the brits are they lose their main general
03:07:17.760 for this expeditionary force uh they decide either we attack newport up in rhode island or
03:07:25.940 uh trying to take new orleans they end up invading new orleans and
03:07:34.060 um in a very disastrous battle for the british they decisively lose this battle
03:07:44.540 um right before they get new right right before they get news that the the peace treaty had been
03:07:51.800 signed um officially ending the war um throughout this war um are there any particular
03:08:02.620 uh i guess battles that are venerated that battles that are celebrated or heroes of the
03:08:11.660 canadian uh the canadian army i don't think there's much of a canadian navy yes there are
03:08:19.080 So as I mentioned, the Battle of Chattagy is a big deal, mainly because Lieutenant Colonel Charles Michel de Salaberry, with only 300 Voltigers supported by about 1,400 Mohawk and Abenaki, like raw recruits, not very skilled, not directly engaged in the front line.
03:08:40.500 they're more like suppliers um and his lieutenant colonel george mcdonald whose name was red
03:08:47.500 george red obviously for blood salivary expertly chose ground in the woods along the shatagy river
03:08:53.960 sort of building abatis which are like felled trees they're used as roadblocks and laying
03:08:58.860 ambushes in the dense forests and his men mimicked bugle calls to confuse the americans as they're
03:09:04.960 marching down the saint lawrence river to try and take montreal shouting orders in english
03:09:09.360 which deceived the U.S. troops into believing British reinforcements were behind them.
03:09:14.480 So the Voltigers are 300 Frenchmen yelling in English to confuse and put the Americans under disarray.
03:09:23.180 So they attack the flanks using hit-and-run tactics.
03:09:26.640 The engagement on October 26 in multiple columns becomes disoriented.
03:09:31.700 The Americans take heavy fire from hidden Canadian positions.
03:09:35.760 The St. Lawrence is a very difficult place to invade.
03:09:37.760 and um they believe themselves to be outnumbered the american force was something like three
03:09:44.940 thousand to four thousand troops versus you know three hundred maybe two thousand total canadian
03:09:50.160 troops um they took that heavy fire they only lost about 23 people about 33 injured but the
03:09:58.360 psychological defeat was massive and it's because of the reason you stated earlier on in this in the
03:10:03.080 in the stream which is that montreal is basically the trunk the whole the saint lawrence valley is
03:10:09.080 the trunk that supplies everything it's it is the the engine it is the kind of heartland and
03:10:17.160 uh shatagui with chrysler's farm as well as lundie's lane um and queenston heights are the
03:10:25.880 big ones those are those are kind of like the big decisive battles that you hear mentioned
03:10:30.040 in canadian songs because even in the in maple leaf forever which is supposed to be our national
03:10:34.840 anthem not oh canada at least the english version mentions queens and heights um and and the
03:10:43.800 sacrifices that were entailed there so the u.s never attempted to attack montreal a second time
03:10:49.320 during the war salaberry is considered a national hero in quebec and it is a cornerstone of french
03:10:54.440 canadian military pride the voltegers of course under that tradition would go on to
03:10:59.960 become like the the 22nd regiments also called the vendos or vendors the 22nd regiment was a
03:11:06.440 canadian military regiment comprised entirely of french canadians and so they you know spiritually
03:11:12.040 inherited that kind of tradition from that region so these are yes these are the two major
03:11:24.440 you say that the major uh general figures or the general figures um the major battles
03:11:34.180 queenston heights over here as he mentioned yeah the sacrifice of brock and the victory of
03:11:39.980 salaberry basically are the two the two big ones that you do hear repeated um in our history if
03:11:45.660 they're mentioned at all well i i i see brock as sort of um i'm trying to think of like what the
03:11:52.780 the best analogy would be for him in american history um
03:12:00.780 like we really don't have too many generals that just die tragically um like maybe like there's
03:12:08.940 some analogy from the civil war when you know the life expectancy of brigadier generals was not
03:12:15.580 particularly um particularly high um out of the americans that actually invaded canada
03:12:26.380 like the only general or the only the only commander that or the only two commanders that
03:12:32.380 were actually the three that are really is notable um there's a first crop of officers
03:12:41.420 who begin uh the war in charge a lot of them are i guess uh doddering old uh you know american 0.99
03:12:55.100 revolutionary war veterans uh politically connected uh idiots and you know in one case 0.99
03:13:05.340 with a general uh wilkinson you know spanish spies uh and after this initial crop is replaced 1.00
03:13:14.720 after the disastrous for after the disastrous uh first year you end up with figures like
03:13:21.240 winfield scott uh henry harrison and um oliver hazard perry who end up you know becoming
03:13:30.480 much more legendary figures um although no one in america or american public schools really
03:13:39.500 knows these particular names jackson kind of hogs the the spotlight
03:13:44.260 so we're we're getting into sort of the the impact of the aftermath of the war of 1812 which
03:13:51.420 is probably the most important part of it everything like say like the war is the war
03:13:57.260 but like 70 percent of the profundity in the changes in canadian society happen in the succeeding
03:14:03.500 years in the immediate succeeding years um you see brock elevated to this the level of like
03:14:09.020 hector of troy he's kind of this like heroic figure who dies on the battlefield and achieves
03:14:14.800 victory um they cultivated this myth of heroic loyalty the men who kind of stand to defend the
03:14:23.080 province as earlier loyalists had left everything to uphold their kind of oaths um there's one
03:14:28.520 post-war account that loads the original loyalists rather than submit to successful rebellion they
03:14:32.720 forsook the land of their forefathers their homes their families in many instances their friends
03:14:37.120 and all they hit her to held the deer upon the earth loyalty was earned in 1812 as it had been
03:14:43.460 by the original loyalists in 1776 and the tory elite in particular john strakan who is an enigmatic
03:14:51.940 figure in canadian history people don't realize the extent of how influential this person was
03:14:56.100 john stracan was an anglican bishop and he was basically a prince bishop like pretty much a
03:15:02.180 european style prince bishop and everything but name um and so they used the victory of 1812 and
03:15:08.580 they believed it was a victory because they defend they successfully defended the colony
03:15:12.660 maybe they didn't achieve the total victory of having you know secured michigan and and
03:15:18.340 using it as a buffer zone um but defense of what they had already built since the
03:15:23.380 revolutionary war was was deemed such and so yeah um all of the the veterans were also rewarded
03:15:32.420 this is something else too that that i wanted to to impress upon uh on you too like the first
03:15:38.760 people to claim the land in ontario were actually soldiers they were loyalist soldiers um with the
03:15:43.760 biggest acreages of land given to the officers and to the generals. So you have this very
03:15:50.600 paternalistic, very hierarchical society kind of developing. And you see this continuity of
03:15:57.200 loyalist identity. The loyalist ethos remains a touchstone of upper Canadian identity and
03:16:01.620 politics for decades later. John Strakan's associate, J.S. Cartwright, who is the son of
03:16:06.200 a prominent loyalist, still implores citizens to remember their forebears. Excuse me, sir, for
03:16:11.060 these noble canadians they chose to found a home in the wilderness under the sanction and
03:16:15.000 protection of their sovereign rather than remain citizens of a nation whom they regard as rebels
03:16:19.780 such reverence for loyalist past this is from my notes that i that i wrote a long time ago
03:16:24.980 and calculate the noble sentiments and principles for which they contended
03:16:28.640 the founders or the father's sentiments and loyalty obedience and sacrifice were held up
03:16:34.760 as the sheet anchor of a conservative government in the colony so being a loyalist in ontario
03:16:39.640 evolved from a literal descriptor as war refugees into a proud cultural identity synonymous with
03:16:45.180 devotion to king and and and throne and altar so like they turned this they really they really
03:16:51.900 solidified this i also want to just focus on the crackdown because the crackdown is is very very
03:16:58.240 canadian and it's in its uh attitude and its implementation and i'm just gonna so they just
03:17:04.980 They also excluded the crackdown.
03:17:07.780 So there was a crackdown against dissenters.
03:17:09.940 There was a crackdown against moderates, people who wanted peace much earlier on.
03:17:16.580 Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists in particular were targeted because they were seen as being most of them were actually American late loyalists.
03:17:25.320 They're American colonists moving up into the new territory.
03:17:28.820 The Tory elite were concerned with internal purges.
03:17:31.220 they were concerned with this corrupting influence from within spreading and metastasizing and so
03:17:38.580 there was an exclusion never heard of this uh yes oh yeah oh yeah so there was an exclusion of the
03:17:44.520 disloyal um the anglican tory elite drew sharp lines around who counted as part of the loyal
03:17:51.000 community and immediately after the war of 1812 these policies were implemented to marginalize or
03:17:55.620 control residents in a dubious alliance, specifically American immigrants. And in 1814
03:18:01.240 to 1816, the government requires loyalty oaths from inhabitants and denying patronage, which is
03:18:07.380 jobs, land grants, and so forth to Americans. The influx of American settlers was curtailed by
03:18:12.380 official discrimination. By 1817 and 1818, Attorney General Robinson went further, delivering a legal
03:18:18.940 opinion that all U.S.-born residents who had not sworn allegiance were aliens in law, unable to
03:18:24.020 vote hold land or office and this sparked the protracted alien question debate but it illustrates
03:18:29.360 that the tory principle that loyalty was a prerequisite for rights are you seeing some
03:18:35.260 parallels in in modern canadians when you think about the convoy and how canadians acted towards
03:18:41.980 that at least uh people who are pro-government at that time well does that sound does that sound
03:18:48.420 familiar i mean uh cracking down on i guess how do you say what what i'm trying to what i'm trying
03:18:56.320 to say is that descent i guess yes what i'm trying to say is that we are an authoritarian people
03:19:01.500 like we are we are a very authoritarian people by american standards and this goes all the way
03:19:06.880 back to our founding all the way back to the the very seeds ideological spiritual political
03:19:12.780 of the Canadian people in both upper and lower Canada.
03:19:17.900 Christopher Hagerman complained that it was a disgrace
03:19:20.940 that American-born residents were placed on equal footing
03:19:23.960 with a loyal population under some laws.
03:19:27.060 The Tory press formulated at the idea that men like Barnabas Bidwell,
03:19:30.500 who is an American, might claim equal privileges with disloyal Americans.
03:19:34.260 It also meant that the War of 1812 and its veterans were continually venerated.
03:19:38.540 They had shed blood for the province and thus earned political capital,
03:19:42.060 whereas these newcomers did not so yeah you see tory mythologizing you see the legitimacy or the
03:19:49.980 legitimizing of the government and the oligarchy who uh had at that point been struggling with
03:19:56.420 desire for more representation among the population there were some people who are like
03:20:01.160 hey listen we're fine with this paternalist system this hierarchical system but also
03:20:04.780 maybe we could have some wiggle room um they use it to crack down on moderates they basically use
03:20:10.340 it as a politically legitimizing event and you still see that permeate in Canadian society today
03:20:18.160 you you see that that fear of internal disorder that necessity to purge dissidents and you know
03:20:26.540 spies traitors so on and so forth the need for hierarchy the need for order and you really see
03:20:33.820 the the emergence of the canadian national value of order kind of come up here um is so during it
03:20:42.740 like i guess proceeding and immediately afterwards uh for the war of 1812 uh kata had something of
03:20:52.320 a siege mentality right whether more british than the actual british verbatim siege mentality is is
03:21:00.520 how launch ariel was yes um did so i guess did this siege mentality uh moderate or become diluted
03:21:14.380 over time or were there various i guess increases in public uh public public crackdowns on on
03:21:26.660 antisocial behavior um i would say it's a bit of both kind of like ebb and flow it's it is an ebb
03:21:33.940 and flow because to say that the the canadian character is purely authoritarian would be
03:21:38.280 incorrect it's not entirely true but there is a streak there in canadian conservatism and in
03:21:43.420 canadian conservatives um that is sort of foundational in a way that it is not in the
03:21:49.280 united states or in france or in the modern united kingdom and what you'd see especially
03:21:53.560 around the confederation years with the slow trickle of methodists and baptists uh many of
03:22:00.160 them from the united states in fact most of them from the united states um you'd see this
03:22:06.540 so they would try to bring these liberal and republican ideals into ontario and they would
03:22:13.100 be forced due to all of the loyalty shit tests and the government crackdowns to frame their 0.93
03:22:19.020 arguments under like whig british constitutionalism because they couldn't just come all out go full 0.98
03:22:25.940 blown you know screw the king we're a republic now they just couldn't do this um especially after
03:22:33.080 the lower and upper canada rebellions had been crushed the upper and lower canada rebellions
03:22:39.260 being crushed was kind of like the the end of the discussion for liberal republicanism for
03:22:43.980 liberalism for revolutionary fervor the government was yet again uh legitimized the the authorities
03:22:50.080 were yet again legitimized and this the uh the revolution or the rebellion of uh 18 was it 37
03:22:58.200 i believe yeah upper the the upper and lower canada rebellions it was bigger in lower canada
03:23:03.420 which is now quebec there was a smaller one with this guy named mackenzie this psycho uh fleeing
03:23:09.540 to an island somewhere in the great lakes and continuing the war and the americans actually
03:23:14.000 took him out which is really funny um just like republican inspired by the lower canada rebellion
03:23:21.420 he got a bunch of hunters lodges which were americans sympathetic to the idea of uh of
03:23:27.940 annexing canada he got he allied with these sort of rogue american uh hunters lodges and hunting
03:23:34.060 groups and whatever they tried to attack um the government they tried to take this island eventually
03:23:38.900 the american authorities were like what are you doing stop like we we just signed a peace treaty
03:23:44.680 can you please not do this and they arrested mckenzie so um like uh i remember there's also
03:23:52.660 like um was it the famous like caroline affair where we had an american smuggler tried to like
03:24:00.020 ship guns to your rebels and uh i think it was like the ship was eventually like seized and like
03:24:09.300 thrown off niagara falls something yes something like that yeah yeah you're you're absolutely right
03:24:15.040 i do also recall that around this exact same time you know 1830 i think it's 36 there's the
03:24:23.820 black hawk war out in uh you know the american midwest uh where they're called like the british
03:24:31.800 band they were like a band of like former like canadian allies during the war of 1812 that
03:24:40.280 you know just loved killing uh settlers uh broke out into open conflict but after the war of 1812
03:24:49.600 canadian support for the indians and their uh their resistance against the americans kind of
03:24:55.980 dried up formally um like there were still incidents like you know sort of rogue british
03:25:06.040 arms dealers supplying the seminoles of east florida or you know black hawk war where
03:25:13.080 you know the former allies of the brits um and uh you know instigating wars against the americans
03:25:21.880 um there's a you know i don't have i don't have a cuba on here
03:25:27.860 british uh gun smugglers getting guns to cuban slaves to instigate slave revolts
03:25:36.080 um british uh arms dealers arming the cults of the uh i think it's the cult of like the
03:25:43.680 it's like the the stick cross something like that in yucatan and in mexico you know that sounds
03:25:52.020 about right yeah our arming um you know wild jungle indians to to kill you know what what
03:25:59.720 how few like white mexicans there were back then you have um on the american side with this you
03:26:06.760 have the fenian raids yes uh i do actually remember posting about this um it's like a
03:26:16.600 uh sorry i gotta head out guys sorry to interrupt yeah it's all right uh we're just wrapping up
03:26:24.760 anyways but if you have to dip you know thank you so much for for coming in uh dimes all right
03:26:30.620 thank great stream guys had a great time i'll talk to you both later all right next time uh i i do
03:26:37.240 have uh yeah i found it it's um you know eerie maritime museum you know the immediately after
03:26:45.820 the civil war these during the civil war america kind of imported half of ireland to fight in the
03:26:54.460 war yes um and after the war all of these sort of armed like veterans of the civil war were like
03:27:03.700 hey let's um let's let let's come up with this this this is a this is a brilliant plan uh we
03:27:13.060 seize canada and then we use it as a bargaining chip to you know to to have a free and independent
03:27:22.020 ireland you know we'll trade sea backsies i mean it's look it's one of those ideas that's so crazy
03:27:29.920 that it might actually work you know um but uh what i find the fenian raid fascinating because
03:27:37.680 the relationship with the irish in canada versus what they did in the states is very very different
03:27:43.680 and at this point you had already had so canada received something like 800 000 irish settlers
03:27:49.860 throughout the 19th century a good chunk of them arrived before the fenian raid
03:27:54.760 and most of the irish to canada were either northern irish they were either olsterman
03:28:01.780 or they were catholic loyalists they were a very rare breed of people from the rep
03:28:07.300 from southern ireland from catholic ireland who believed in in loyalty towards the the crown
03:28:14.840 um thomas darcy mcgee one of our fathers of confederation was himself a catholic irishman
03:28:21.680 and you don't have this same hostility between anglo-americans and irish americans uh emerging
03:28:29.140 in canada the irish were kind of wholesomely amalgamated into broader anglo-canadian identity
03:28:33.380 eventually they just disappeared uh with the exception of cape breton cape breton is a
03:28:37.880 distinctively very gaelic island very small island in the maritimes they they maintain that that
03:28:43.540 celtic identity very strongly um you can make that same case for newfoundland but what's fascinating
03:28:49.100 is that the iris just became anglo-canadian they just kind of assimilated in the u.s you have like
03:28:54.820 gangs of new york for years for years and years well we we had uh you know more of i guess so
03:29:03.020 sort of ethnic enclave kind of situation in in northern cities in particular um it's
03:29:13.140 you know i i think you're out in the frontier things are a lot easier to i mean it's a lot
03:29:22.820 easier to assimilate when you know you have three neighbors uh and you know you're in a relatively
03:29:32.380 you know sort of a sort of survivalist state right where yeah where you actually have to yeah
03:29:38.980 i was gonna say too like the presence of the french changes everything and it it changed
03:29:46.040 canada and put it in a trajectory that australia and the united states would not go through
03:29:51.140 which for a number of profound and and almost incalculable reasons namely the presence of
03:29:57.360 another european people with a different language and religious denomination living right next to
03:30:02.800 and the implications of having to live with that and the irish became the glue between anglo and
03:30:10.580 french canada namely that 15 of all of the 800 000 irish settlers actually married into french
03:30:17.580 canadian families and what they would do is they would mix their their english language with
03:30:22.640 catholicism because they were english speaking but they were catholic they could communicate
03:30:27.280 and liaison between Anglo-Scottish Protestants
03:30:32.220 and French Catholics.
03:30:34.800 The origin of Anglo-Quebecers actually comes from this.
03:30:38.440 It starts with the Irish being the glue
03:30:40.420 between the French and the Anglo-Scots who are Protestants.
03:30:43.360 Although to a lesser extent,
03:30:45.000 Anglo-Protestants did intermarry with French Canadians
03:30:47.160 just at a slightly lesser rate.
03:30:48.820 It's about 12% as opposed to 15%.
03:30:51.640 But yeah, it's just a fascinating,
03:30:54.240 absolutely fascinating dynamic difference
03:30:56.740 because like irish americans were aggressively hostile against anglo america for a very long
03:31:02.320 time like to to the point that it was a big deal that jfk was elected as the the first
03:31:07.160 non-was president well it's well the what is it the there were a lot of qualifiers for uh for jfk
03:31:16.300 like uh his you know his sort of slimy like mobbed up father kind of like beat it into him that you 0.97
03:31:25.160 know jfk you will be a wasp you will dress like a wasp you will talk like a wasp um good you know 0.83
03:31:33.120 uh so he's he's he's almost more uh more wasp he was significantly more waspy than you know 0.86
03:31:41.960 former carney oh yeah richard nixon but that's that's kind of neither here nor there
03:31:48.080 um yeah in terms in terms of i guess putting a bow onto discussing the war of 1812 um
03:31:59.320 you know the initial it was yeah sorry go on i wanted to like the um the american war aims
03:32:08.500 were a to stop the the impressment issue and to resume peaceful commerce and second to open up
03:32:21.800 the frontier to investment land speculation and westward expansion the the main reason why
03:32:33.480 canada was targeted was because british arms were supplying these these really nasty indian
03:32:41.060 uh uprisings and after the war there's no more napoleon so no more impressment uh there are
03:32:50.740 there are no more indian confederacies at least in the midwest and in the south
03:32:54.880 um and you know it led to what was you know called the era of
03:33:03.480 it's like the era of good feelings where the general economy prospered and you know
03:33:10.520 didn't try to invade canada a you know third time um but yeah at least from the american perspective
03:33:22.680 the the war of 1812 was more about asserting national i guess asserting our national autonomy
03:33:30.920 against uh against powers that viewed us as sort of a a third rate you know second tier country
03:33:40.920 by by standing up to these incursions for canada i believe you know you guys made the case that
03:33:49.080 it was more of a you know it's the siege and the siege mentality it's an existential struggle
03:33:56.280 for survival basically like that not just from the state's perspective but from from a cultural
03:34:02.120 perspective of of the canadian settlers at this time they they viewed this as like if we don't win
03:34:08.200 we're going to fall to revolutionary chaos and madness and atheism um and i'm not even being
03:34:14.600 hyperbolic like you can read robert passfield's the upper canadian anglican tory mind and uh
03:34:21.960 anglican torianism in upper canada as well as uh david mill's idea of loyalty the idea of loyalty
03:34:29.560 to kind of get this perspective of where where they were coming from and and the war also solidified
03:34:36.440 the joint you the sort of unity between anglo and french canadians who were both reactionary for
03:34:40.920 their own different reasons but kind of made them coalesce of their one sort of force you
03:34:46.760 you hear a lot of criticism sometimes i'll point out um in terms of the two books that you
03:34:52.240 recommended um i was just going to pull them up real quick it's the idea of loyalty by david
03:35:00.740 mills so that's this one right here and what was the second one there's two it's anglican toryism
03:35:10.720 in Upper Canada
03:35:11.800 it's a very rare book
03:35:16.800 both of them were released in the 70s
03:35:18.760 and there's been like no reprints right there
03:35:20.440 first one Anglican Toryism
03:35:22.520 in Upper Canada
03:35:23.220 and the second one
03:35:27.040 yeah and the second
03:35:28.840 one is
03:35:29.760 hold on
03:35:32.740 let me get it
03:35:33.760 the Upper Canadian
03:35:38.380 Anglican Tory Mind
03:35:39.880 which you saw as your second uh yeah right there scroll scroll down it's right there
03:35:46.760 a cultural a cultural fragment i don't think it's that expensive it's like
03:35:53.920 right but i i had to go on like uh anna's archive to find like a busted pdf
03:35:59.960 because it was so rare i and these books are these three of these are just absolute gems
03:36:06.120 and this is why i've tried to impress upon people like no actually we're not just photo negative
03:36:11.980 america the the anti-americanism is not just knee-jerk we're not american like this was a
03:36:17.680 a whole ideology this was a whole culture dedicated to fighting what they viewed as
03:36:23.800 revolutionary liberalism they were hyperactive hyper aggressive you know ontario and quebec
03:36:31.780 were bastions they referred to themselves as sanctuaries it was a very militant kind of
03:36:36.680 uh crown and altar thing i made the joke about warhammer 40k but that's that's not really far
03:36:41.620 from the truth well i i think ideological implies that there's a sort of idealism to
03:36:49.260 what you're talking about where um you know this nation was freely inspired by the ideals of
03:36:58.440 thrown an altar but i think that it came from a very pragmatic place where uh through these two
03:37:06.180 conflicts the sort of identity that the loyalists came out with uh solidified into like based on
03:37:18.280 very pragmatic reasons as opposed to i have a dream that canada is a as a land of you know oh
03:37:27.320 no oh no there's a lot of that you'll you'll see you'll see when you read this they they wanted
03:37:32.800 a perfected england they wanted a landed gentry um all of that stuff they they literally wanted
03:37:39.900 to roll back the american and french revolutions this is this is why i say it was it's not as
03:37:45.520 cynical and you know people try to point out like well canadian identity is just anti-american
03:37:51.380 but like german identity german unification happened with a negative with something to
03:37:58.000 contrast scottish identity didn't exist until england invaded it it was gales and picts and
03:38:03.920 norwegians and lowland saxons right until they had that kind of existential enemy to corral them
03:38:10.380 um italy very much the same way italian irredentism led by savoy uh sorry um piedmont
03:38:18.060 um sardinia piedmont against the the austrians so like all of the things are there it's it's not
03:38:24.340 just purely reactionary knee-jerk we're not you it is no there was a whole a whole worldview here
03:38:30.620 a whole uh birth of a nation in 1776 then reinforced by the war of 1812 and then of
03:38:37.700 course confederation being kind of like the final cut the final um thing well i i couldn't have asked
03:38:45.180 for better guests to chat about this particular topic from the Canadian perspective uh I really
03:38:52.440 appreciate you for uh taking your time to sit down to have a chat with me about this very
