00:25:03.080maybe more importantly, this should have been first of all,
00:25:05.560is I don't think that's going to happen.
00:25:07.640I actually don't think there's going to be mass
00:25:09.220deportations based on anti-Semitism or anyone who is siding with Hamas or siding with Palestine and
00:25:17.080being anti-Zionist will get deported. I think that's just, you know, what we might call virtue
00:25:24.380signaling. That's something that people do to make sure Jews know they're on their side. But I
00:25:29.100actually don't think that's going to happen. And however, if it were to happen, this could be a way
00:25:35.700for us to get what we want i'm like i don't think so because if this were true um i don't see how
00:25:42.840this wouldn't be used against us in the immediate future that'd be fair yeah of course this is not
00:25:49.180that would not be a good turn like if they were going to deport people just based on anti-semitism
00:25:54.760alone that's a huge leap in the wrong direction and the only thing about it that you like is
00:26:00.040you're getting rid of browns in this specific instance but the fact is is as of now there's
00:26:05.080no precedent for them deporting people from their own country you know people who are citizens
00:26:09.220he's deporting them where like you know he's kicking them out just because they're racist
00:26:14.500or anti-semitic like you don't want them to be able to do that if it were to come to pass to me
00:26:19.600people are thinking like oh maybe this is again the european man the faustian man behind the
00:26:25.420scenes but i'm like no no this would be just jewish power and influence flexing its muscle
00:26:31.480wouldn't it yeah and and i i don't like it's um i called it uh to this one friend of mine
00:26:39.460theron um i described it as reversed wignatism where you know instead of seeing the jewish
00:26:48.240eternal tarantula behind the scenes of everything you just secretly see the self-serving anglo
00:26:55.320behind everything puppeting jewish interests and like that's more of a a deep yearning i understand
00:27:02.160that yearning to believe that that secretly the white man's in charge i'm like no no no i don't
00:27:07.880think so i think it's sometimes people are just saying what they are saying other than that you
00:27:14.640know how do you think this war is going in uh israel like i'm hearing reports that they're
00:27:19.600talking about a ceasefire right about now and effectively things would go back to normal i
00:27:25.620think is what they're trying to propose it's so hard to tell i i'm honestly it's just
00:27:30.800we joke about not commenting until the things concluded right i'm torn each day between uh
00:27:40.040they are going to by tonight declare a ceasefire because the world has been turning against israel
00:27:47.920so rapidly that they're going to lose all of their western support and then on the other hand
00:27:54.540it seems like the entire western world from the government standpoint is so behind israel that
00:28:01.920they have now they've now committed essentially all of the war crimes they could conceivably commit
00:28:08.400without dropping a nuclear bomb like they've been dropping white phosphorus on hospitals
00:28:14.000and using jdams on ambulances full of children for a week and and the u.s is just sending
00:28:21.720reinforcements so and now they're shooting at lebanon and then turkey wants to get involved
00:28:26.120and now siri is involved and iraq's involved and yemen declared war so like and then the other end
00:28:31.140of it is now okay so it is it is it actually just world war three and i don't fucking know
00:28:35.280and when i it's the same thing was going on in ukraine in the beginning where it's like
00:28:39.580both sides one morning are saying there are no casualties and then by the end of the day
00:28:44.620there there's all casualties and then by the next morning there's no casualties again like0.89
00:28:48.380it's all just fucking spin i really don't know i really don't know what's going on i really want0.65
00:28:54.380to just like we're always saying on this show i want to use this to figure out how i can advocate0.96
00:28:59.400for my interests and my interest right now is being a stinker i want to just tangle things up
00:29:08.000I want to go to Matt Walsh and use this as a wedge issue and say, Matt, what do you think about working for Ben Shapiro, who's out there seemingly every day saying Israel?
00:29:20.580The only thing wrong with Israel is they're not blowing up more kids or they haven't used nukes yet or they're the genocides taking too long.
00:29:28.940They're saying some beyond the pale things.
00:29:31.960I'm like, Matt Walsh, you know, you're supposed to be one of the good ones, right?
00:42:55.120and even up to Mulroney, you saw these politicians who were interfacing with the public saying,
00:43:01.000we are not going to pursue mass migration to promote growth. But then they just did it anyway.
00:43:08.220The institutions just did it. And they muscled it through the House of Commons. And every step of
00:43:14.840the way, people hated it. And they were lied to. This was never supported by the old stock Canadians.
00:43:20.620But then we reached a point where there were so many immigrants that now the immigrants are voting in their self-interest and they can retroactively rewrite history and say that, oh, we've always liked this.
00:43:33.000But he's just showing through actual data pulled from the archives that no one ever supported this.
00:43:39.580And it was just unilaterally forced through by government institutions.
00:43:44.000And in the article, he points to certain Jewish MPs and Jewish individuals who are, you know, it started off as it always does by saying, OK, in the post-war years, we should allow some European refugees.
00:43:59.440then someone shows up and says well why just european that seems prejudiced and then like
00:44:08.100that's how it begins and they just needle you with that until it's like okay well now it's i
00:44:13.380guess somalis if it's that important to you and then here we are today where we're telling a story0.83
00:44:21.400that canada was always like this and it actually just fucking wasn't which is to say that like
00:44:26.860there's something in the people still i think like they still don't like it they've just been0.88
00:44:33.220harangued and tricked into thinking that these feelings are unnatural yeah just like with okay
00:44:39.800you're anti-woke like you need to make it explicit and i'm trying to find ways to allow people to be
00:44:45.620more explicit about this where it's like what you're anti-woking what do you mean woke like
00:44:50.300actually say it because like an older generation will say oh you know facts don't care about your
00:44:55.940feelings that's my anti-walk okay what do you mean that like don't just give me slogans
00:44:59.840but what what are you actually against is it gays is the homosexual movement is it0.99
00:45:05.940transgenderism it's like tell me what the fuck you need to say it it's important that you say1.00
00:45:11.660it out loud you know can't just be in the back of your mind that oh like you can't be dog whistling0.99
00:45:16.840yourself and i think a lot of especially older generations but even younger ones they're just
00:45:22.320dog whistling themselves just like i was talking about with like hoping that anti anti-semitism0.95
00:45:28.980laws will just sweep out all the browns and not persecute the whites because that's a secret0.99
00:45:33.860anglo plot it's like we we've been stuck fucking dog whistling ourselves for like 10 years now0.99
00:45:39.240and anyway that's just what i i want to take advantage of what is purported to be the downfall0.79
00:45:47.840of wokeness really dig into that and say what do you mean by that what is really changing what is
00:45:53.480becoming unpopular and why who is making money off of anti-wokeness and why and now that those
00:46:02.300those groups have revealed themselves to just be genocidally zionist in their secret motivations
00:46:08.980what does that mean for anti-wokeness what are we doing what are you for what are you against
00:46:15.740you're no longer allowed to say anything is woke right now i don't think so i think now
00:46:21.200sweep that out we got a brief window time where maybe people can be honest because everything's0.78
00:46:26.240so fucking confused and all the jews are losing their minds right now and they don't know what's
00:46:30.860going on so let's ask people like what do you do you see this do you like this what do you like0.99
00:46:35.340what don't you like let's be real for a second let's stop dog whistling ourselves no for sure
00:46:41.080absolutely and i think the the point somebody had said the other day that the this is you know it's
00:46:49.140all 5d chess and this is all they expected it to turn out this way you know talking about the way
00:46:54.360that this is all turning against them i don't think so i think it is just turning against them
00:46:57.480i think there's some kind of either miscommunication or maybe they just aren't that
00:47:02.680much of a united bloc internationally but whatever game the jews have been playing in israel
00:47:08.160geopolitically with um lebanon and with gaza has not been in this the same interest that the
00:47:16.560international jews have been playing in the western countries the way that they've been
00:47:19.980getting their fingers into our governments and undermining our populations the way that they've
00:47:25.720been doing it on one side has been undermining the way they've been doing it on the other side0.94
00:47:29.020and i don't think that's 5d chess i think they fucked up i think they they brought in all these
00:47:35.580immigrants and the types of immigrants they were bringing in were people who i think a big part of0.95
00:47:41.440it was actually that they wanted us to be open to taking in the entire muslim world because they
00:47:48.760don't want them in the holy land because it's their holy land i think that's part of part of
00:47:52.880exactly that's admittedly what they want to do too but the the issue with that is while you are
00:47:58.660bombing and genociding the holy land you've spent the last 40 years softening us up in brotherhood
00:48:06.360to islam and you did more of that than you did toward the jews so it's it's like now is the
00:48:15.600perfect opportunity like you don't want to go so far and be like oh you know we like with njp right
00:48:20.920now we're all saying you know we need to stand side by side with the the muslims against the
00:48:25.140Jews no Muslims are our existential enemies but like you said everything is up in the air right
00:48:31.400now now is the opportunity to sit down and kind of lay everything on the table and say
00:48:35.400what which of you know there's like there's no parties anymore just look at the issues pick the
00:48:41.260issues that you actually stand for and work with those okay what are you a part of right now you
00:48:47.100know like when you're watching the daily wire like to the Matt Walsh I just keep coming back
00:48:51.100to matt walsh like what do you think you're a part of right now you know like is there any
00:48:57.420is there any movement that is against transgenderism that isn't bound up in rabbit
00:49:03.280zionism you know like really start unpacking what you're a part of right now and have a hard look at
00:49:09.160it because i don't know there's no reason to keep giving resources and power to these groups you
00:49:16.920know again the daily wire can be gone it's like it's worse off than breitbart breitbart wasn't
00:49:23.820isn't invincible had milo fucking yiannopoulos as the tech editor they don't know what they're doing
00:49:30.600these are these are more like i was thinking about the other day because i've worked with0.71
00:49:38.060and at organizations like this and i'm just wondering like are people still getting paid
00:49:43.540nothing to work there because i remember the whole thing was like a breitbart people got like
00:49:48.420paid experience a lot of the time or they're getting like dog shit for like articles they
00:49:53.380were churning out and i'm like i don't think it's gotten better has it i doubt it i especially in0.96
00:50:00.160this economy now i bet there's a lot of these people are just doing it for clout anyway we'll
00:50:04.460get moving on now because we got a few things to cover here um i just wanted to let people know a
00:50:09.460few show notes here um you might find this amusing so i have a review that is featured on a previous
00:50:19.000episode of a show titled popcorn and soda and this is a movie review show on the americana network
00:50:27.520which is a network maybe some people are familiar with have a lot of shows like the god cast that's
00:50:32.640a very popular show there used to be on the right stuff up is now it's over there and i think this
00:50:38.160is also hosted by the hosts of the godcast a very popular lutheran show um so they were doing a
00:50:46.880halloween episode and they were asking for reviews of this movie and they said oh we want the viewers
00:50:54.640listeners to send us your thoughts on the movie like a five minute clip about this movie called
00:51:00.980caveat and it's a movie that was released fairly recently and they had said this is the greatest
00:51:06.920horror movie that was released in the past 15 years and so and i said you know what i'm gonna
00:51:12.740do it i like you guys and this will be fun i i don't get to do a movie corner that much anymore
00:51:17.280believe me i want it but i'm giving people a break so they wanted a five minute review about
00:51:23.760this really uh interesting movie and so i delivered a fucking 10 minute scathing takedown of the movie0.92
00:51:30.900like i'm like i i didn't like the movie and i i held the lutheran church accountable for it0.97
00:51:38.860for the lies about how this was the fucking best0.69
00:51:41.820it's not like the worst movie it's it's okay but i'm like okay you can't go out there saying0.91
00:51:49.760this is the best horror movie in the past 15 years um i'm not going to review it now but
00:51:55.000just let people know you can find that episode on the americana network i've been watching um
00:52:00.820i've been continuing on my journey of only watching good movies though good hey i'm proud of you man
00:52:08.260you stay on that horse oh i mean you want to hear what i've been watching of course well hold on a
00:52:14.880second all right what have you been watching i'm not gonna nickel and dime you into an old
00:52:20.900movie corner right now but um i was watching lawrence of arabia oh cool never seen lawrence
00:52:29.160of arabia before um i saw last house on the left the original one in the 70s
00:52:37.080very nice uh um barry linden from our chat famous barry linden recommended it this is again not the
00:52:46.060remake um the remake i hear is pretty brutal this one uh really what this one the last house only
00:52:53.160left the original i think thematically they were going for something almost campy like i i'm just
00:53:01.700i'm not trying to reveal the movie but there is a scene where you know a bloodied half-naked woman
00:53:08.280is being chased through the woods by a murdering pedophile and it sounds like a benny hill sketch
00:53:15.380like the music sounded something like kind of a up-tempo yakety sax and i'm like the this is an
00:53:25.460odd mood and i think it's on purpose of course like it's not an inept movie because that movie
00:53:30.420you see how every other movie ripped it off because this was like 1973 like okay so i'm not
00:53:36.400enjoying this terribly but i get how every other this influenced like there's a straight line right
00:53:42.860from last house than left to like the devil's rejects right right like that there let me just
00:53:48.120say this there is one part from the movie that i like which seemed pretty zaste um because it
00:53:54.240features like a group of uh escaped convicts who are just brutal murderers and rapists and it shows0.97
00:54:01.140scenes of them like palling around you know just like shooting the shit and having fun um and they0.96
00:54:08.260have one exchange that's just dropped0.99
01:12:27.960i that the question was can the image of the statue being destroyed be as relevant culturally
01:12:38.680as the statue itself now some people were saying yes some people they love the image of that red
01:12:45.460hot face of robert e lee as it's being destroyed almost as some kind of not a new demigod or
01:12:53.220something but like that's a symbol that's the symbol that we could rally around um and and i
01:13:00.480guess i'll ask you that question like do you think the destruction of the statue and these videos
01:13:04.960could be as unifying as the statue itself what do you think about that yes absolutely yes i think
01:13:12.000they made a huge mistake trying to rub that in everyone's face because if they had to just burnt
01:13:17.040it and made it even if they made it front page news but it was text only it would not have had
01:13:21.600the same impact that is this it's almost it diverges on atrocity porn the way that they
01:13:28.860presented it and the people today that have an association um like mimetic association with
01:13:34.860robert e lee i think it's not even that strong it's probably strong for people in the south but
01:13:41.120for north american right-wingers generally it's more the idea of we're right-wingers we're meant
01:13:47.540to conserve our history and our culture and you took away a thing that represented part of our
01:13:52.820history it didn't have to be that statue it could have been any statue it could have been george
01:13:56.280washington because lincoln or whoever they've taken a lot of them down right but when you take
01:14:01.340one especially one like lee and you melt it like that and you show the the burning red face melting
01:14:09.640into the fire like i don't it's like you're we're saying earlier that they didn't want to
01:14:17.700release the manifesto because of the anger it would it would elicit like you really shouldn't
01:14:22.660have done this you really should not have sent that photographer in there because uh that i
01:14:27.960think this will be an image that's used to galvanize people around this issue for 20 years
01:14:33.300yeah and uh when i first heard that argument being made i thought okay let's consider is this
01:14:40.260a cope and i thought about it for a while and i don't think it is i don't think it is for the
01:14:44.740reasons you had said um and but also this ties directly into the book i'm going to talk about
01:14:50.880but it also reminds me of one that i'm reading currently that we're going to get to in a future
01:14:55.680episode but i'm the book we're going to talk about currently is empire and communications by
01:15:04.100harold innis but the book i was uh just reading recently was um it was marshall mcclellan's book
01:15:13.100understanding media um have you ever read that understanding media the extensions of man
01:15:19.640mccluhan's a canadian guy he gets uh circulated a lot in this scene but i never really read
01:15:25.720anything about marshall mccluhan even though i should have because if you're involved in media
01:15:30.460or advertising or anything like that you know a lot of a lot of stuff is built upon his theories
01:15:37.720and his work but i think he's often misunderstood and we'll get to that when we discuss the book
01:15:42.780But there's this one aspect in this book particularly that struck me in talking about the statue of Robert E. Lee versus the image of the statue being burned as almost a different type of media entirely.
01:15:57.300He's got this concept of cold media versus hot media.
01:16:01.980So a cold or a cold medium and a hot medium.
01:16:04.820So a cold medium would be any sort of media that requires you to participate in it for it to be given meaning.
01:16:13.800So you would say like a cold media would be a telephone or a cold media would be like anything that requires the viewer to be a participant for it to matter.
01:16:24.340Whereas a hot media is something like exciting and electric and can like exist on its own.
01:16:44.900do careful editing and mixing, and so on and so forth.
01:16:47.600There's no room for participation between sender and receiver
01:16:51.320because radio is designed with a passive listener in mind.
01:16:55.440It's dense with information, making it high definition.
01:16:58.860um and it's not trying to say one is better than the other but it's usually a cold media
01:17:04.380is overtaken by a hot media and i looked at a and maybe i hope this isn't me misunderstanding the
01:17:11.540point because it's very metaphysical the stuff he gets into and it's very very engaging and
01:17:17.200mcclellan is a amazing thinker and um influential man but um to me like the statue is almost cold
01:17:26.160media as a medium it's just there it's inert it kind of invites you in you need to participate
01:17:32.960and it just doesn't really have a lot of life and vivacity to it but the image of it being
01:17:38.840destroyed does and the image itself and not only the image but the requirement that the image be
01:17:44.040passed around like it has a life of its own it's not inert it's not cold it's got a a vibrancy to
01:17:50.680it and it's evocative it gets you you see it and and it it almost doesn't need to explain itself
01:17:57.020like a statue you got to read it and you got to bring it into your context but this there's a
01:18:01.660different sort of life force to the the image of it being destroyed as its own thing and as a
01:18:08.840different form of media as a digital image that's a meme right and that that meme can live on as
01:18:14.600different iterations of that meme and maybe that face changes over time but that the meme itself
01:18:20.660is the lifespan of the meme like to look at a meme it's the beginning middle end of the meme
01:18:27.080isn't just one link in that chain and that's what's so interesting and so you know as we're
01:18:32.480gonna go into empire communications i just like leading with that which is that what i like about
01:18:38.140that in in the destruction of this old media it becomes a new media and perhaps has more meaning
01:18:46.560because you know the question is you know we defend these monuments and these statues
01:18:53.440and these relics but are they really evocative you know are we just being trad are we just
01:19:00.640trying to defend these because we think they're important but do they really inspire us they do
01:19:04.960for some people i'm not saying they don't inspire everyone but you know are you can have an interest
01:19:11.040in a museum but does it really generate a an electricity within you for a lot of people no
01:19:19.180for a lot of people it's just you don't like you want to defend it because it's being threatened by0.98
01:19:22.800a fucking dysgenic underclass of freaks but if it wasn't being threatened by a dysgenic underclass0.97
01:19:28.440of freaks you you would never go to visit the statue it might mean nothing to you whereas this0.99
01:19:33.620new form means something it can mean something perhaps even greater uh because its destruction
01:19:40.560represents not only not just southern identity but this other again creeping dysgenic biomass
01:19:46.980that's destroying america right now and he is it's this sacrifice it becomes now i don't want
01:19:53.560to get too biblical about it but you know it it's ascended to a different form at this point
01:19:58.240but um and in changing that media it becomes of the people now whereas before it was almost
01:20:08.500of the state it was of the power structure and now it's back in the hands of the periphery of
01:20:15.140the people you know it was it was um it was rejected by the institutions it was rejected
01:20:22.860by the city these statues didn't have a home anymore in the centers of power so they had to
01:20:28.020be adopted by the lower classes or the fringe classes or us what you might call the people of
01:20:34.720periphery and that leads me into the book i was reading which is really i really love this book
01:20:42.540and i love the arc that we're on right now this is called empire and communications by harold
01:20:48.420and it deals with just what i was talking about there which is it's all about how language models
01:20:55.820and media and communications have evolved throughout time and it and how these media
01:21:03.380define the lives of empires and um he frames it in a sort of dejuvenelian way like remember back
01:21:11.460and when we talked about juvenel about you know the high low versus the middle about how
01:21:16.280this is where you get elite theory things like that about how the power can be conceptualized
01:21:21.600as concentric circles with the center of power being you know the king the emperor the government
01:21:26.520then outside that you have the intermediary institutions the clerical class and whatnot
01:21:31.300then outside of that you have the people the citizenry and then maybe beyond that the slaves
01:21:36.280and whatnot but you have those concentric circles and so it was saying that you know each of these
01:21:42.300areas of power tend to generate their own media throughout history new technologies have created
01:21:50.960new opportunities for communication and culture in fear of these opportunities those in power have
01:21:57.200often tried to control the technologies and as a result restrict the spread of knowledge
01:22:03.920before the advent of paper and the printing press religious authorities generally had control over
01:22:09.200knowledge texts were professionally hand copied onto parchment by scribes a laborious and expensive
01:22:15.520process after copying the materials were often kept in monasteries and church libraries
01:22:21.200hidden from the public um and whenever a type of media was captured by the center it almost
01:22:28.560inspired the development of a different type of media on the periphery and he cites examples from
01:22:35.280egypt samaria rome greece goes all throughout human history and he finds these these revolutions
01:22:43.040seem to coincide with developments of different media and this is where you kind of get into hot
01:22:49.040and cold media where you know we'll go through this in detail but just to preface this it's like
01:22:54.720saying that you know the the m the center of power in the empire they would love you know
01:23:01.440sculpture it has a preference for communication that is optimized for time you want to make
01:23:09.360things you want to make engravings and sculptures and carvings that will last centuries right
01:23:14.320whereas the people are concerned with communication that is tilted more towards space you know it
01:23:20.680doesn't you don't need things to last forever but you want to create media and documents that can go
01:23:25.480very very far and wide and travel easily so you know an example would be at the center of power
01:23:30.840you have a lot of you know stone engravings on the outside you have papyrus that's and we don't
01:23:35.520have a lot of evidence that anymore but it's when you have whatever is developed on the periphery
01:23:41.560will be optimized for space and and quick communication and far communication and then
01:23:48.220usually when that's adopted by the center then that inspires something on the outside to develop
01:23:53.860so then as you go through a time let's compare that to now the modern era so you have paper0.99
01:24:02.000which was once the people's the vulgar thing that wasn't that was just you know who gives a shit0.99
01:24:07.920paper, right? That is seen as the validated, enshrined way to communicate in the center of0.99
01:24:17.040power. That's publishing, that's library, that's academia, right? That's taken seriously, but it's
01:24:22.820dead. It's cold. What's more exciting on the periphery? That's the internet. That's all this
01:24:28.640shit. They don't understand this. And that's, if you want to see this in action right now,1.00
01:24:33.460That is how the digital world is terrifying the traditional publishing world, which and traditional publishing, once again, used to be on the outside.
01:24:42.640That used to be just something that the the the idea of sort of popular literature was seen as vulgar and dumb.
01:24:50.840And then eventually that becomes, you know, enshrined.
01:24:53.860But now it's memes. It's the ultimate space versus time, where the communication we do breaks apart in seconds. You know, trends break down within hours sometimes. And so we're just in like a hyper realized version of what he's talking about in this book right now.
01:25:15.200and i just wanted to say that to show that whatever we talk about now is still relevant
01:25:19.560in the modern age so i'll start by just kind of reading from the book because i have a lot of
01:25:27.060notes here that i just i'm going to read them because i like them and you tell me what you
01:25:30.060think about this so he says monopolies of knowledge had developed and declined partly
01:25:35.740in relation to the medium of communication on which they were built and tended to alternate
01:25:41.380as they emphasize religion, decentralization, and time and force.
01:25:46.600The tendency of each medium of communication
01:25:52.280to the point where the human spirit breaks through
01:25:55.400at new levels of society and on the outer fringes.
01:25:59.080So in the traditional society, this would be like the clerical class.
01:26:02.860So in various empires throughout history,
01:26:04.800you would have whatever the clerical class might be.
01:26:07.800It might be priests, it might be shaman, it might be whatever it is,
01:26:10.200But they would become like the holders of the knowledge and they become they would monopolize not only the interpretation of the knowledge, but also the processing of it.
01:26:19.780And you would still see this in Judaism, too. He talks a bit about Judaism, the book, that what made Judaism so unique was how it emphasized its clerical class above all others.
01:26:33.800Because, you know, within Christianity, you have, you know, you have a priest class and you have pastors, but you have to understand that within Christianity, they are nothing like the way rabbis are treated.
01:26:44.980Like rabbis are treated as this higher order form of Jew, like the keepers of the knowledge.
01:26:51.560And you still see that echoed within Jewish culture to this day.
01:26:54.980but he was saying that you know at one time that's sort of that um mode of keeping knowledge
01:27:01.900made it longer lasting than just like different types of records um now he says here concentration
01:27:10.180on a medium of communication implies a bias in the cultural development of the civilization
01:27:16.200concerned either towards an emphasis on space and political organization or towards an emphasis on
01:27:22.520time and religious organization introduction of a second medium tends to check the bias of the
01:27:28.300first and to create conditions suited for the growth of the empire and you know there's other
01:27:33.420there's a lot of empires throughout history that you know when people think empire they tend to
01:27:37.260think rome and every empire is like rome and america is compared to rome a lot and that's
01:27:41.520not really how it is you know there were mercantile empires throughout history that
01:27:45.240you know weren't even concerned with creating their own monuments they were just wanting to
01:27:49.540be massive trade networks and some of the you know sumerian cuneiform scripts show that they
01:27:55.940emphasized you know space over time and their writing was just to be made as quick as possible
01:28:01.600and to transmit as far as possible so you know the idea of just having an empire that was true
01:28:07.420empires didn't always try and be permanent is what he's saying and there's always negotiation
01:28:11.440between these type what what it was actually trying to be he says here the concepts of time
01:28:18.940and space have significance in how empires and civilizations prioritize their media whether it be
01:28:25.360long lasting like sculpture or easy to spread like paper the concept of empire is measured
01:28:31.240on the efficiency of communication prior to the written word oral traditions harnessed more rhythm
01:28:38.040and poetry to make things memorable right and many linguists see the written word as a corruption of
01:28:43.880that thought i never considered that before that was just sort of a an investigation you had in
01:28:48.720the book um the the benefit of the written word was that the written word allowed people to
01:28:54.860interface with an abstract world of symbols and concepts and improve their time horizons
01:29:00.440but um i like the idea that yeah you have that um there's this idea that you know i actually heard
01:29:08.040i heard in a song the cognitive trade-off hypothesis saying that you know when we were
01:29:12.600monkeys our brains had to adapt more towards um you know in the moment calculations of our
01:29:21.020surroundings so we could actually calculate more information faster but we had zero time horizon
01:29:27.500so by the you know by introducing more abstract modes of thought we made it so we can conceptualize
01:29:33.920time and space and things like that and and hypotheticals but it meant that we
01:29:38.440kind of got worse at processing immediate data so i just like the idea that you know
01:29:44.700there's an argument in the book that you know the written word killed human thought
01:29:48.800i just i've never heard a phrase like that before and just to give an example of what he was talking
01:29:54.140about here um he plays around with similar to like mcclellan talking about hot and cold media
01:29:59.680he says in ancient egypt writing on stone was characterized by straightness or circularity of
01:30:05.720the line the rectangularity of form and an upright position whereas writing on papyrus
01:30:11.480permitted cursive forms suited to rapid writing and by escaping the heavy medium of stone thought
01:30:18.380gained lightness a marked increase in writing by hand was accompanied by secularization of writing
01:30:24.500thought and activity so you know we're not going to get into the whole medium is the message
01:30:29.060uh thing by McLuhan that's a whole other episode in itself but it's saying like by the by making
01:30:36.100it easier to write you change how people thought and communicated so you could express weirder
01:30:42.200ideas so like as as you permitted and introduced different types of documentation and record
01:30:48.840keeping you permitted new ideas to emerge and these ideas couldn't have emerged if you were
01:30:53.780just communicating with sculpture so with each new medium comes the introduction of new ideas
01:30:59.660so it means that like you know as new forms of communication are emerging on the fringes
01:31:06.480it almost by its own nature encourages radical new thoughts i think that was just an interesting
01:31:13.660way of doing like why is it that the fringes are always coming up why why is it that always new
01:31:18.040media forms have weird new shit going on them well that's because like that's its nature to be
01:31:23.640You know, he talks a lot about Egypt early on in the book, and he says the spread of writing after the democratic revolution in Egypt was accompanied by the emergence of new religions and the immortality cult of Horus and Osiris.0.89
01:31:38.500so in egypt as these new forms of writing were emerging they were coming up with new religions
01:31:44.280raw worship had become too political and individuals found a final meeting in a
01:31:50.500fulfillment in life beyond the vicissitudes of the political arbiter so it's like a new
01:31:55.760revolutionary religions were emerging as you saw papyrus start to propagate
01:32:01.380since to know the name of a being was to have the means of mastering him to pronounce the name
01:32:07.960was to fashion the spiritual image by the voice
01:32:10.980and to write it, especially with hieroglyphics,
01:41:54.600like our minds can't almost can't conceive of a relationship with reality that is not almost
01:42:01.360dialectical anyway i'm not sure people agree with that but i think there's for people who0.98
01:42:06.620were allergic to that idea because i think it's just communist bullshit you know it goes back0.66
01:42:10.160deeper than that um and he gives a few more examples here of the exact interchange that0.94
01:42:17.080we're talking about here he says parchment as adapted to the demands of monasticism had
01:42:22.040contributed to the to the development of a powerful ecclesiastical organization in western
01:42:28.240europe the monopoly of knowledge which had been built up invited competition from a new medium
01:42:34.320of communication which appeared on the fringes of western europe uh european culture and was
01:42:39.320available to meet the demands of the lower strata of society the impact of muhammadism which followed
01:42:46.180its abhorrence of images was enormously strengthened by a new medium of which the written word became
01:42:52.020opponent force the wide gap between the governing the lower classes in china facilitated the spread
01:42:58.560of buddhism from india the monopoly of knowledge of the veda by the brahmins invited the introduction
01:43:04.380of a medium from the periphery which could appeal to the lower classes
01:43:07.940in china buddhism found an efficient medium of communication in paper and emphasis on the
01:43:16.620importance of a knowledge in writing so all around the world you see these sort of mind
01:43:21.160revolutions occurring as like the paper becomes more readily available and it's usually used as
01:43:28.500a way to attack the center of power um and even even in the modern reality says the rise of
01:43:35.160vernacular literature hastened and was hastened by the growth of nationalism um he says the papacy
01:43:42.060triumphed over the council as representative of the church through the support of canon lawyers
01:43:46.960in 1448 but its success led to the reformation um and there's a quote here from a guy named
01:43:55.640rationale he says the worst corruption of the middle ages lay in the transformation
01:43:59.820of the sacerdotal sacerdotal hierarchy into a hierarchy of lawyers and that's an interesting
01:44:07.640thing too like you see all throughout in various points in history in these empires you see like
01:44:14.540these revolutions by the intelligentsia and even in america you see almost like a revolution of
01:44:20.640lawyers like how is it that lawyers have become to achieve such a high status in american society
01:44:28.200that's fucking weird isn't it like it just happens that lawyers are sort of the intelligentsia
01:44:35.820of the of the piece of paper you know i mean like they're the new clerical class they are the one0.98
01:44:42.220lawyers have a monopoly on the law and the law is how this entire secular humanist nation runs so
01:44:50.040if you have that's why it seems so common for presidents and politicians to be lawyers
01:44:56.600themselves it's almost assumed like to even rise to power in the society you have to have a command
01:45:01.900of the law or be a lawyer in some way and like that's a weird thing isn't it but like in in
01:45:07.760america it would seem that the clerical class as we know it would be lawyers i don't know if a lot
01:45:13.220of people would disagree with that even yeah he's just got a whole block here that kind of summarizes
01:45:18.760a bunch of them he says the growth of bureaucracy in the roman empire had followed dependence on
01:45:24.040the papyrus role but stability assumed a fusion with religious organization based on the parchment
01:45:29.880codex bureaucracy in terms of the state implied an emphasis on space and a neglect of the problems
01:45:36.340of time the tenacity of the byzantine empire assumed achievement of a balance which recognized
01:45:42.340the role of space and time the dominance of parchment in the west involved an exaggeration
01:45:47.860on the significance of time a monopoly of knowledge based on parchment invited competition
01:45:53.380from a new medium such as paper which emphasizes the significance of space as reflected in the
01:45:58.660growth of the nationalist monarchies so it's like every time there's always a reaction no matter
01:46:04.100what the medium is so again we go back to the McLuhan thing of like a hot medium becomes cold
01:46:10.100and when that happens a new hot medium emerges and it's just always just switching sides and it
01:46:17.000seems like I it seems obvious to me that that's just going to happen forever like that's just
01:46:21.660a naturally occurring phenomenon that's why when we talk about this I like to think ahead for okay
01:46:27.620what happens when digital communication becomes cooled when it becomes it becomes the statue
01:46:36.100that needs to be destroyed to reinvigorate life into it you know
01:46:40.820i just got one part here at the end that i like and i think it kind of summarizes
01:46:46.100in a more modern sense ways talking about he says in common law countries particularly adapted to
01:46:51.880trade and emphasizing freedom of the press monopoly of communication accentuates
01:46:57.120monopolistic tendencies in the publication of newspapers, periodicals, and books. These changes
01:47:03.400have profound implications for empire. And I think that's really where it stands now, which is
01:47:10.340empire seemed to rise and fall based on how well they can integrate the changes on the periphery
01:47:17.900and what they can sort of learn from that. And I think that's why in America, especially in North
01:47:25.900america i think the center power is doing a pretty good job of trying to you know in a in a sense
01:47:33.900ruin what's going on in the periphery and i think it's high time that as that's occurring
01:47:40.700we start to think about you know what new media forms we can come up with and remember that like
01:47:47.280the purpose of a media form you know are and i talked about this in um an unreleased real secret
01:47:55.180coffee hours episode but um one thing that was kind of just sticking in the back of my head was
01:48:01.540that real for us to realize where we are in relationship to power like we are on the outside
01:48:08.420we are in the innovative space and there's a lot of us who i believe are thinking in terms of time
01:48:16.060when we should be thinking in terms of space a lot of artists too they want to make things that last
01:48:21.140forever and we might not really have that ability the things that last forever tend to be created
01:48:26.340you know with its proximity to power our job really is to find whatever media is at our disposal
01:48:35.700that maximizes space what can move furthest what can be transmitted fastest what can be understood
01:48:43.640the easiest that's what a meme is a meme is like the the particle like the fundamental particle
01:48:50.560of what we're talking about it is the essence of space over time and i think that's what the
01:48:57.800the centers of power and the cool media is never going to understand it's going to try and capture
01:49:03.000that every time it tries to wrap its hands around what a meme is it slips through its fingers
01:49:07.880because they're trying to make memes permanent they're trying to make memes official make it
01:49:14.240you know serious but it can't be serious like this is this is just the innovation of papyrus
01:49:20.200And I think that we do ourselves a disservice if we look at what we're doing and try and think of anything other than, you know, we need to make things simpler and faster and more effective rather than just emulating what we think is more serious.
01:49:36.580You know, I mean, does that make any sense?
01:49:39.880Yeah. All right. So I know we got to get going now, but that was just Empire and Communications by Harold Innes.
01:49:45.300once again it's um a discussion about how forms and media of communication are always
01:49:52.640and it's it's it's tracking like the linguistic tension and the battle between competing languages
01:50:01.820within an empire itself is fascinating because that is the relationship like when you think of
01:50:07.480like the center of power the juvenilian concentric circles going out you're like well how do these
01:50:13.180interface with each other like how how do revolutions occur how do these things happen
01:50:18.020how is it that something could be occurring on the fringes of society that the center power
01:50:23.140doesn't even know about well that's because they're using a completely different language
01:50:27.760you know i mean um you know what i was uh just as a really morbid example i was uh watching a
01:51:06.020but i guess it would make sense within that community you're given more street cred if
01:51:11.860you're in the photos because it's riskier right and so they had him in the photos but he would
01:51:17.260they couldn't they didn't know who he was why because his face was a swirl right it's like who
01:51:24.200who is this genius who swirled his face and they were trying for weeks months they had interpol
01:51:30.460involved they had the well actually you know what's funny is you never hear that the local
01:51:35.320authorities are involved in this um you know the malaysians act like this is a grievous offense
01:51:41.380against their culture you didn't care about this until like interpol came looking for him so how0.99
01:51:47.500about you shut the fuck up um you're just kind of embarrassed now but anyway the point is that0.98
01:51:53.360they're like how is this hacker genius doing this it took them weeks and chasing him around the globe0.98
01:51:57.920and uh then someone figured out oh this looks like a photoshop filter so they could take the0.93
01:52:05.620the photos put it in photoshop and reverse the swirl because that's all he fucking did
01:52:11.260right but that's just evidence like that they didn't know this language they didn't know this0.99
01:52:16.260photoshop thing they didn't know that this group on the fringes were just using photoshop to fuck0.84
01:52:21.020with photos they they just assumed it was like this big complicated thing but you know you have0.94
01:52:26.440these the digital natives using a language that these old old-headed people just don't get
01:52:33.400um and that's a really bad example of course but it's an example it's an example of like how they've
01:52:39.640they're always playing catch up with what's happening on the outside they're always and
01:52:43.400like i said um you in the past i've had some dealings with non-profits and even some non-profits
01:52:51.720who are engaged in anti-extremism measures and if you've seen the internal communications from
01:52:58.520these people they don't know what's going on out here like their conceptualization of the far right
01:53:05.080is like the kkk i think the kkk is still like a big thing and they think the christian nationalism
01:53:12.760movement is like the scariest thing in the world you know i mean like they don't know
01:53:16.840they don't know the spaces because they're old government bureaucrats who still don't kind of0.98
01:53:21.640understand what the internet is they don't speak the fucking language it takes them years to speak0.98
01:53:27.700the language it takes them years to understand the tools eventually they do but then you're0.96
01:53:33.020outpacing them you're outpacing them so anyway that's just the a more practical relationship of
01:53:37.920or a practical example of what i think is actually going on anyway um anyway i'll let you go now
01:53:45.220because we're going over is that is that a good one did i do good with yeah yeah that was cool i
01:53:49.180like that all right good we'll be talking more about this in the future but i hope i did that
01:53:53.180book justice anyway i'll talk to you later right now man see it
01:53:57.460so like how do you think the the so as thomas phrases it the nuremberg
01:54:19.020regime which is just geniusly put i have this perspective that i think it's gonna um it's gonna
01:54:25.820move into like this materialistic uh race realism that's like it's truer than what people have now
01:54:33.100i think people are becoming against their will more racially conscious um specifically white
01:54:39.500people which hasn't happened in you know 80 plus years and um and it's it's being done in a more
01:54:45.420intelligent way than just like um like sort of a soft like southern pride type deal um it's become
01:54:53.580like the locus of kind of the young new right and i'm kind of curious because you do bring it up on
01:55:00.600your podcast a lot and um i have my criticisms of that point of view even though i do think there's
01:55:07.400a lot of truth to it do you think that there is like this like we are we are just crashing into
01:55:13.340this new uh foundational narrative of like the race realist yeah um for the longest time i think
01:55:21.660there's been a lot of very knowledgeable and highly intelligent people on this thing of ours
01:55:27.000we might call the dissident right you know in terms of race realism you can go back to jared
01:55:30.780taylor you can go even go back to like all these great thinkers even ron unz is probably on that
01:55:35.240side as well but um what's interesting is that for a lot of people on the right broadly especially
01:55:42.300conservatives the the trend towards racial identitarianism has been noticed by all um but
01:55:49.860i think the conversation's actually been led by the left for the most part and oftentimes white
01:55:55.920guys find themselves playing catch-up like it was first permissible to discuss you know like even in
01:56:01.740canada for example um where i live you know we have in our body of law the idea of like we basically
01:56:09.680have ethnostates in canada in the form of the aboriginal tribal bands where you can literally
01:56:14.620do blood tests to figure out if you're aboriginal and then there's been stories of people who've
01:56:20.280been exiled for race mixing and when it comes to those narratives we've already accepted their
01:56:25.180belief of blood memory that not only do just racial genetics exist but it can carry this sort
01:56:30.760of racial spirit with them so but that stuff is allowed and i find that whites especially have
01:56:37.840have noticed every other group is permitted to talk about this and we oftentimes speaking as a
01:56:44.040white guy find ourselves adopting their narratives so what the conservatives were doing for a long
01:56:49.380time and arguably the alt lights if people remember that that would have been you know i'm not trying
01:56:54.000to throw them under the bus but like the gavin mcginnis types which are like you know this group
01:56:57.940says they're persecuted and oppressed well everyone's persecuted and oppressed well right
01:57:01.660there you've accepted the narrative that you want to be persecuted and oppressed to be allowed to
01:57:06.900play the game long story short i think that white people while they're watching everyone else
01:57:12.940kind of follow their own ethnic or group-based sovereignty they don't really have the tools
01:57:19.420to define it for themselves we we and this is something we've talked about a lot recently
01:57:23.580we actually don't know how to argue for our own self-interest we very frequently will try and
01:57:29.720find allies from other groups we think will like side with us or we try and adopt their talking
01:57:34.700points see oh no we're just like them we're just see well why can't we play too and i think our
01:57:40.280our inability to actually advocate for because we are different psychologically we're different
01:57:45.940culturally and we the idea of trying to argue that you're oppressed does not come naturally
01:57:51.740to a lot of people of european stock it just seems kind of in a lot of different ways and so
01:57:57.200it is true i think there's a a gravity not only is there a swing towards acceptance of
01:58:02.820identitarianism, and this is correlated with an increasingly multicultural society, consider this,
01:58:09.320you know, by the time that whites are allowed to play that game and engage in that conversation,
01:58:14.380it will be when they are a minority, when they have the least amount of sovereignty, and they
01:58:18.380will be most subject to this new system, at which point, when we're allowed to play the game on
01:58:23.940their terms, they will have the power to persecute us even more. And then we won't even have the
01:58:29.720the numbers to advocate for ourselves and that might sound a bit extreme but you're also seeing
01:58:35.320um one thing that we talked about on the show there's this book by marco poppick called
01:58:40.320geopolitical alpha it's an economics book and he had he was tracking the uh again another pendulum
01:58:46.240swing from laissez-faire capitalism that kind of rose from the 70s and 80s under thatcher and
01:58:52.240whatnot to this wider acceptance of socialist policies so the idea of having like your own
01:59:00.000sovereign area that's out of fashion and you see this on the right too you see the acceptance of
01:59:05.140more nationalist and socialist policies there's like we laugh at libertarians we scoff at the
01:59:11.520free market stuff so it seems that the game being played by everyone going forward is going to be
01:59:17.360this pushing of sort of collectivist socialist policies. And, you know, not to say that's right
01:59:25.120or wrong. That's not a value judgment. That just seems to be like if I were betting on what would
01:59:29.800happen, you know, Tucker Carlson's a good example of that. The rise of Tucker Carlson, he's advocating
01:59:34.340things for things that were completely alien to the Republican Party, you know, just even five
01:59:40.020years ago. He's advocating for government intervention, more social assistance and
01:59:44.640policies so there is but i like i said before i think whites are the last to the party on that
01:59:51.620and that's why i don't think that that's the whole thing we say about conservatives generally
01:59:56.020they're like five years too late on everything by the time you know in five years they're finally
02:00:00.760going to be pushing for transgender acceptance as everyone else is getting out of that like
02:00:05.320it's just going to be late on everything anyway that's a very meandering answer to your question
02:00:09.780i i think though uh you're it's the the the white thing i think it you know it falls on
02:00:19.680deaf ears and then people on the right white guys are like oh yeah see what happens when we try to
02:00:25.460play the game like they do we get scoffed at that's why you know the white man truly is you
02:00:31.140know he's he's the lowest rung um in the game right now but um i think it's because um have you
02:00:38.560read have you read or the short story i know i know but george orwell wrote uh was it killing
02:00:45.320an elephant shooting an elephant no i haven't read that they're gonna be like there's this
02:00:49.680little book you might have heard of it 1984 1984 have you heard of that one um uh wow he totally
02:00:56.740no yeah the point he makes in it is when the white man goes tyrant it's his own freedom he
02:01:01.220destroys it's really cool it's good it's a good little story about him being an off when he was
02:01:04.560a military officer in nyanmar and how like he had to go chase down this elephant and when he finally
02:01:10.300got to it he's like the elephant was fine it wasn't rampaging anymore all they had to go do
02:01:15.560is get the the the the person who trains it and takes care of it and it would have been fine
02:01:20.120but he has like you know 5 000 of these brown faces surrounding him and he's like uh well the
02:01:27.640white man has to put on a show i gotta be their little puppet and uh that's kind of like all the
02:01:33.400the white man is doing when he when he plays that game um so that's one thing but then the other0.90
02:01:38.900thing is just if you keep going this direction this is like my biggest concern with keith woods
02:01:44.680because i think keith woods is like um there's something about him he's got he's got that glimmer
02:01:51.760in his eye i just love him and but the thing is is he is just a neoplatonist if you get down to
02:01:57.800the foundational aspects of these nationalist movements they don't have any they don't have
02:02:04.000any life to them they look a lot like a black nationalist movement like a black nationalist
02:02:08.940movement doesn't have a real like western a lot philosophical basis it wants to operate on a lower
02:02:16.880level it is it wants to operate on that and forget i'm not being racist here just the
02:02:21.660animalistic racial level and when you when you go on and on onto the level of just race
02:02:27.760you're leaving out like the entirety of the last 2500 years of um of western philosophy
02:02:37.440specifically christianity and it's like that's why we won that's why we're great and that's why
02:02:43.020a multicultural society in some sense can exist because it's built on that but i all i see
02:02:50.380with the right is like fiddle fucking around with all of these labels and all they can define0.96
02:02:57.020themselves on is like yeah democracy isn't real and you know white people are seemingly persecuted0.99
02:03:05.020but it's like i i mean i guess it's just what you have to replace it is like a ghost dance to like
02:03:15.420an era that you think is better um like we were talking about before the show like these
02:03:19.940millennials well you know so a lot of them will larp is amish like i even went through that phase
02:03:24.260you know like i went to that phase where like oh we need a return you did a you did a little show
02:03:29.320on penty lincola cool guy um same with with um chad haig i actually have the book around here
02:03:36.240but a lot of guys like that um who are focused on like your your your culture is your ecology
02:03:42.360you can't avoid ecology that's the basis of who you are and if you're a nationalist movement
02:03:47.240you're like living in this lie that we can like like especially for white america like where is
02:03:53.420white america there's like obviously whites are like they are a bad guy in some way but for the0.96
02:04:01.700most part they lack the the universal distinction as a culture in america that matters to be like0.98
02:04:09.240look at us we need to restore order you know you have to have first principles and anytime i see
02:04:15.740people talking about uh the right wing like how we're going to take things back and it's going
02:04:20.720to get greater and some way they always forget like christian will always be like a little
02:04:26.020auxiliary thing like it's one of the many labels they have and it's like all right but when you do
02:04:32.900win i it's it's it's gonna be like okay okay so what is the white answer if it's not like
02:04:41.120first christian and like very much so and then like um you know 2500 years of metaphysics like
02:04:51.120political philosophy and you said this too you and judas it's built on everything else comes
02:04:58.060before political philosophy everything else becomes before economics but that's where everyone
02:05:02.120starts rather than metaphysics and i just don't know where where does that come in at this point
02:05:07.660that's my credit that's my long-winded criticism of of this like no yeah of the wignet thing
02:05:15.740that's that's a fair point i'm not like grr it's just i don't see fruit with it yeah i'll start by
02:05:21.840saying that a lot of these groups we have more common than we have in difference um and it's
02:05:27.920pretty frequent that on the distant right i use distant right very very broadly um but we'll agree
02:05:33.760on most things but it's we start wars over the couple disagreements and there's some serious
02:05:38.360disagreements and i've been vocal about certain creators that i vehemently disagree with or even
02:05:43.440think their ideas are subversive and dangerous have taken to their extreme but a lot of people
02:05:48.920you know one thing that we discussed uh frequently on the show is how revolutions actually uh how
02:05:55.720they behave um especially the american revolution i think we're discussing the book the square and
02:06:00.100the tower. And there's this myth that any large social change or any huge movement needs to be
02:06:07.480homogenous, when in fact, it's usually like five to seven smaller groups that don't even
02:06:12.660particularly like each other and disagree on a lot of points. But they are given this one momentum
02:06:18.420through a few key individuals who can kind of unite them to take down an opponent or an enemy.
02:06:23.780That's usually how it happens. So I think I'm not trying to just point to Trump when I say this,
02:06:30.100But because the election of Trump still weighs heavy on the minds of a lot of people on the right.
02:06:34.740Because that's the last time we seem to have done something cool that shouldn't have happened.
02:06:39.180There's like that. The Trump election wasn't supposed to happen.
02:06:41.500And it did because of a lot of these groups working in concert for like the first time in a long time.
02:06:46.960But things like that are possible within systems.
02:06:51.140And they're short lived, but they're supposed to be short lived as long as you have like one shared enemy or one shared goal.
02:06:58.460I think the ligaments and the tissue between a lot of these groups right now who disagree, because I'm very open that I think, at least in the short to midterm, pagans, Christians of various denominations, the Christian denominations already don't like each other a lot of the time, they can find a lot of commonality in simply just survival at this point.
02:07:21.820And I think an interesting phenomenon that I've seen in the news is even the liberals are starting, we call them the libs around here, but the libs are starting to notice. The problem is when the libs notice something, it's almost too late. Like you're seeing liberals complain about things that we were complaining about five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, because it's just become that ignorable.
02:07:41.760So we're not crazy. These things are happening, obviously. But I think that means that we more people than I think people give credit for are on the same page about these things. It's just what we do about it. Do we work within the system? You know, how do you stop mass migration? And that's kind of what we're debating right now.
02:08:00.120And I don't think most debates on the distant right are cause for alarm because I think we're we're trying to take a pretty big bite out of existence right now.
02:08:09.880There's a lot of very interesting debates happening, especially within Christianity.
02:08:14.620Look, I've had guys like Ryan Turnipseed on who can give us insight into what's going on in the Lutheran church right now.
02:08:21.000Yeah. In every area, there's some really big swings being taken on the topic of ethnogenesis.
02:08:27.960just to circle back to your first point like how do on one hand we understand that white people
02:08:33.780only seem to be the ones on the earth that don't know what white people means so i i would say to
02:08:39.560you know a lot of people like what even is white and we're an italian i'm like well you have a
02:08:43.400general sense and there are gradations there but i'm like if you take an uh an irish guy and a
02:08:48.860french guy and put them in a bar in the sudan you're both the white guys at that bar everyone
02:08:54.520there knows it asian people know what white guy is so at that level we need to understand that
02:09:00.480this is the game being played and you don't get to opt out of that game even if you don't and this
02:09:04.960is kind of where conservatives go i don't even believe in white people well the world does
02:09:08.300so what are you going to do about that so and we can have debates about who falls in that category
02:09:14.480but that doesn't interest me as much other than we all kind of know that there's a core you know0.94
02:09:20.720maybe like anglos and scandinavians are at the center that's the big debate who gives a shit but0.98
02:09:25.080this and that's where we spend all of our time like no no let's just figure out that white people0.98
02:09:29.660exist and that certain groups think you either simultaneously don't exist and then also should
02:09:35.500be destroyed so it's a survival thing right now and i don't and i think the fact that liberals
02:09:40.240seem to understand that's a survival thing means that we're not crazy we're not wasting our time
02:09:46.700talking about this but we need to figure out like here's the problem i run into and i think a lot of
02:09:51.560white white guys who don't even they would rather not count themselves as far right i said this all
02:09:56.080the time i don't want to be doing this in a society that made any sense i'd be a wandering0.99
02:10:01.360poet and i will be broke as shit i shouldn't be making a podcast i should be no one should be0.76
02:10:07.160listening to me but the fact that most of us have to care about this means that they are aware that0.98
02:10:14.460even if they don't want to be on this side politically they understand that you know when
02:10:18.760you talk about things like this half of all white people disagree with you so even like this is kind
02:10:24.560of what you were getting to like oh even just using white as an identifier well most of the
02:10:30.180people trying to persecute you right now are like white liberals or if you've ever encountered this
02:10:34.320with your family right you know your family disowns you because of these beliefs that's a hard
02:10:39.000pill to swallow i don't that and that's not easy to talk about unless you've gone through that it's
02:10:44.440life-destroying so i'm trying you have to reconcile it okay and the guys who i'm most0.90
02:10:49.580interested in are the ones going to the drafting table and saying okay what the fuck are we doing
02:10:54.440in a 21st century sense and you sort of touched on a big issue that i think we have on the right
02:11:00.440which is we keep using 20th century language 20th century models we keep looking back to the
02:11:05.280revolutions of the 20th century you know there's still guys talking about the work the working
02:11:09.640class of the world workers the world united like that doesn't that is not evocative to a 21st
02:11:15.520century mind just like old identities might need to be reframed in 21st century like the the things
02:11:22.960that went without saying in 1950s america don't go without saying anymore and people are unmoored
02:11:28.520and lost so to even talk to another quote-unquote white person on these grounds like you need to
02:11:34.700frame things differently for them. And so, and though the people I'm most interested in are the
02:11:40.020ones trying to have that conversation and, and first of all, trying to say you're allowed to
02:11:46.540act within your self-interest, but then what even are your self-interests? A lot of people don't
02:11:51.700know. And that's where a lot of the fights and confusion come from. So we are on the distant
02:11:56.160right. A lot of us, the reason it seems so chaotic over here is because we're, we've drilled right
02:12:00.760down to the bedrock on a lot of these issues and have had to rethink everything especially
02:12:05.080generationally i'm sure we'll get to this in a second but a lot of young guys the guys i'll use
02:12:11.400myself as an example you know me you know i'm the first guy in my entire like five generations not
02:12:17.940not five let's say four generations that's owned a gun they're not they're not gun people i like
02:12:23.540guns you know um we're we're the ones who actually want to do the the trad thing and let's have like
02:12:29.100a multi-generational house but no one in my family has done that point being that there's a lot of
02:12:34.200young men who want to grab onto that sort of sovereignty but they're the first ones in their
02:12:39.240entire family that have ever thought like this so they need to come up with a new schematic on how
02:12:44.120to do it some guys i know a few guys um you know there's a guy i like by the name of black horse
02:12:48.600you probably know him like he's got uh land in his family and whatnot he'll talk about that a lot0.92
02:12:53.880but a lot of people they don't have any fucking land you know i come from a family of bureaucrats0.98
02:12:58.360and shit like white collar people the fact that i'm trying to like i want to build a house i i0.99
02:13:03.700have to find those tools myself and so do a lot of young people so it's a lot of pressure put on0.99
02:13:10.040individuals who don't even really have a social network yet or we're trying to figure that out so
02:13:15.040that's why i i empathize with people who are like even going down this road it's it's hella it's a0.68
02:13:21.040huge fucking i'm too dumb for this but uh emergence and imminence i have a good friend um0.69
02:13:29.560who's way smarter than me who explained it and i was just whoa but uh i i think like um you know0.97
02:13:36.940autists um common thing with with white dr uh again i use that i use that term as well broadly
02:13:46.140and i don't try to define it but um their their issue is is like um well where do we start how do
02:13:54.880we do it what happens blah blah blah blah blah um but it's like it's already happened um so like
02:14:01.200for me i bought a 23 and i honestly like i'm i'm an impulsive person um and i i'm
02:14:08.980uh especially over time i become more risk uh savvy i'm fine with taking risks and um i bought
02:14:18.340you know a few acres with a house and a trailer on it um and uh i've like developed in a year
02:14:24.860a really solid group of friends um in the catholic and orthodox community here um and it's like i
02:14:33.080wouldn't have done that if i didn't feel like um like like well one nobody else is doing that
02:14:40.120and two um i it's like uh uh i i don't know what the fuck am i i'm gonna do if i don't have that
02:14:47.060in the first place because like like you said about yourself i i should be like i don't know
02:14:54.580i i should be like a school teacher or something like i i i'm a i'm not
02:15:01.140a very well organized get shit done person but i just don't see people doing it so it's like okay0.94
02:15:08.060fuck i'll i'll try something and even then it's like dude i don't know where to start0.97
02:15:12.300you guys like me we're supposed to be a guidebook sorry yeah no guys like me we're supposed to be0.99
02:15:17.820like wandering tech samurais you know like a samurai but like you know a cyber samurai type
02:15:24.080guy that's what i should be in the world that made any fucking sense yes um um do you think
02:15:33.020canada is like well are any other thoughts about that oh yeah it's like uh there's there is a lot0.90
02:15:40.420of shit happening i spec i specifically see i guess i'm more um and i'm trying more so to be
02:15:46.600in tune with like what what are the catholics doing as a catholic but uh like catholics are0.98
02:15:51.600doing um i'm not a that's the that's the thing i'm least bearish on um even even though i get
02:15:59.140told by trabs that i should be but um i uh there's like catholic distributist communities
02:16:05.960that aren't like bullshit that are propping up and at first it's going to fail i think in a way
02:16:10.760because there's a lot of rich people who are in it and it's like you can't just like rich people0.89
02:16:15.480just can't be all the catholic institutions just can't be like the rich hoity-toity people who0.77
02:16:20.520don't know how to turn a wrench on shit um but it's happening uh people are moving based on like
02:16:27.020i want to be at a traditional at mass type stuff and it's like that's cool um i had friend i have0.98
02:16:32.720a couple who recently married um they're younger than me i'm 24 and they they moved here because
02:16:39.600they're like you know why not let's do it you know they had the they don't want to get the hell
02:16:43.320out of the city they were in it's like among young people it's just like we we're uh we just know0.74
02:16:49.700we're fucked um if we don't even try something and if we try and fail it's like well cool whatever0.92
02:16:54.180um no i agree and this is the age when you should be doing this because i am an old head i'm in my0.99
02:17:01.12030s and once you get to your 30s you start you know when i was in my 20s i could just sleep on
02:17:06.480a floor you know i bet you could right now go sleep on a floor if you wanted to now unless i'm0.99
02:17:13.740i've silk pillowcases i want to blow my fucking brains out it'll happen to you by the way yeah0.99
02:17:19.220yeah yeah 20s is when you should try stuff because um and that sound too morbid but0.98
02:17:26.480um i've always did this when i was younger too thinking about when i get older when i'm unable
02:17:31.360to do things um it's stuff like this that you're gonna look back on and be happy that you did
02:17:37.620and you're like it might seem frivolous now but no seriously you're gonna love that you did this
02:17:43.360when you're 65 even if it failed yeah um i i uh i'm curious about canada but with something that
02:17:51.680came to mind that i think is like the thing is beyond all the issues in the world it's like oh
02:17:58.920is world war iii gonna break out uh what's going to happen with this geopolitical problem what's
02:18:03.960going to happen with this uh domestic political problem immigration drugs crime cities falling0.96
02:18:09.700apart infrastructure tech there's all kinds of shit what's going to happen i think everything0.98
02:18:15.720sits upon um one issue and everything ties back to like god but uh that's like we can kind of get0.75
02:18:26.780that the the thing that's we see well kind of don't see that everything runs on that is the
02:18:33.880cause of everything is usury um everything runs on usury every the degenerate lifestyle that we0.89
02:18:40.560have um the way the reason cities are shitty the reason government is corrupt is like this giant
02:18:47.400machine of of interest bearing financial instruments it's like that's how people have
02:18:54.620their retirement that's what everything's tied to and i think when that when that when the chickens
02:19:01.180have to come home to roost because the only way usury can be maintained is through perpetual
02:19:08.480gdp um increase we've already reached like diminishing returns on it um lacy hunts has
02:19:15.520done great research on that um with a marginal revenue product of debt which he basically says
02:19:21.320like debt does not create value anymore it just doesn't um yeah and in our economy really seems
02:19:28.140to start it's it seems to be reflecting more of like a medieval economy where you have your
02:19:34.480you have you already have your serfs and you have your lords and it's just horrible it's like the
02:19:40.740shitty version of that and um it's it's like okay well as this is like in this week i've seen like
02:19:48.880three videos of young women who are realizing that they shouldn't have gone to college and0.98
02:19:52.860everyone's like shitting on them and i'm like what is your problem women shouldn't be thinking about0.57
02:19:57.640this like it's not their fault you did we did this to them they have debt now and it's like it0.99
02:20:03.680should be we should get rid of it like everything should kind of be set to like well do what we
02:20:11.160always did you believe but we don't it's like this forever like degrading down via usury and i think
02:20:17.740that when that finally ends which i think will be in two places which is like medical debt which is
02:20:23.340people aren't already paying which again is going to be a zoomer millennial thing where you're0.97
02:20:27.640It's only these old morons who subscribe to, like, libertarian economics0.98
02:20:32.300who are like, oh, you need to pay, like, I'm not paying for your college.1.00
02:20:37.920I'm not paying for this. I'm not paying for that.
02:20:39.220It's like, you live in a fucking society, dude.1.00
02:20:41.540Like, if you want shit to work properly, you pay your fucking fair share.1.00
02:20:46.040Like, you do your part. That's why we're here.0.99
02:20:49.220And, like, there's this, the worst thing about the Republicans,1.00
02:20:52.100the worst thing about conservatives is, like, this I'm-my-own-man type of shit.1.00
02:20:55.940And that's why everything really is shitty.0.99
02:20:57.640that that is the worst thing i i don't libs are second i think to that problem because that that0.89
02:21:04.060that is where uh white people where conservative america what have they done for 70 years they run0.99
02:21:12.000the fuck away they run away from every problem and then they and then they sit around and say1.00
02:21:17.320oh well you're not going to come for me it's like fuck you idiot the the cities are gone because1.00
02:21:23.040you left them you moron like yeah and there's a lot of the puritans ran west and all the italians1.00
02:21:28.660and irish took over their cities you know and now it's happening with uh indians taking over1.00
02:21:34.060their corporations and hiring other indians and running things like shit it's like you have to0.99
02:21:38.780realize that you have skin in the game and shit needs to work properly and it's it's there's gonna0.99
02:21:46.060we're gonna have to abandon this like i'm my own man libertarian shit which by the way um0.98
02:21:52.580just check like the early life on every single libertarian economist going back to mises just0.97
02:21:59.840look at their early life just look at it let's go to what school did they go to that's what you mean
02:22:05.040right i know i'm just i'm just joking i'm being a little silly goose but um uh there's a lot to
02:22:13.660unpack there and i noticed one comment here from um new gloff makes a good point and i don't want
02:22:19.380to be misinterpreted as saying that i'm advocating for people decoupling from society or that people
02:22:25.400who buy land should do it in the interest of doing exactly what you were saying which is like
02:22:30.460i'm going to flee um and really the line that we come back to and a lot of people especially now
02:22:35.300have figured this out it's that they say for a long time they're saying i just want to be left
02:22:39.460alone well you'll never be left alone that is not an option um and that used to be a bit more
02:22:44.940popular especially with the ted kaczynski crowd who you know as a man you know i speak as a man
02:22:50.380a white guy deep down we only have two wishes most of us one is to own a boat and two is to
02:22:58.240live alone in the woods with a dog like that's just you know that's the dream but at the end of
02:23:03.940the day we understand that and i think this is the talking point broadly on the right right now
02:23:09.300it's about creating parallel communities it's about creating little even there's more people
02:23:14.440talking about settling in towns and creating some kind of sovereign state even on a small level
02:23:20.720i think that's where people are that's where their minds are at right now which is correct
02:23:24.760um but i'm trying you mentioned a lot there i'm trying i think i lost my train of thought
02:23:30.660um what were you talking about you said uh like uh libertarians
02:23:35.440i guess i was really the locus of it uh out of the ramble is just like usury is your problem
02:23:44.720oh yeah okay yeah that's a big one i don't know i got i know so on our show recently we had an arc0.98
02:23:52.620on modern uh modern modern mmt modern monetary theory which sorry i think i know that fucker
02:24:00.060i don't like him well it's it was kind of not pioneered but his biggest advocate would be
02:24:05.940war mosler and uh there's a one there's kind of like a debate between myself and my co-host judas
02:24:11.560um for the record i'm not pro mmt it was more saying this is how society seems to be functioning
02:24:18.580right now there's also a guy named richard duncan wrote a book called money revolution
02:24:22.440basically it's describing what people already have into it even if they're not into economics
02:24:27.640which is that money is effectively fake. And COVID really proved this, that they created
02:24:36.240something to the tune of $3.8, $3.9 trillion in just influx of capital into the economy.
02:24:44.200Without a vote, they did it within a week. An insane amount of money flooded into giving to
02:24:50.080businesses, giving individuals, just blown all over the place. And the argument of the book is
02:24:55.320that, well, we are in a paradigm right now. And this started with the decoupling of money from
02:25:01.300the gold standard and the creation of what we've described as fiat currency. The idea that everything
02:25:07.420is controlled by the Federal Reserve. And so there's this idea, and just to bring this back
02:25:13.700to the libertarian, the libertarian is usually an old white guy who is trying to articulate
02:25:19.040something he's not allowed to articulate by saying, I don't want to give money to all these0.97
02:25:23.740lazy people what they really want to say is brown people what they want to say is black people they0.94
02:25:29.000can't and so they try and craft an ideology around that that no one should be forced to do anything0.98
02:25:34.140for anyone what they really want to say is i don't want it to go to like lay these these types of
02:25:39.120people that i see every day but i'm not allowed to talk about it but at but you had said that you
02:25:44.860live in a society you live in this advanced society where you pay taxes but here's the thing
02:25:49.920within modern monetary theory. The interesting thing is that taxes don't actually pay for
02:25:55.600anything. Not really. Money is just created by the Fed and it's altered electronically.
02:26:03.040Taxes, and this is where libertarians are actually correct in this model, taxes are literally just a
02:26:07.660way to control consumer spending. You increase taxes when you want people to spend less on
02:26:12.460something or to increase productivity, or you lower it when you want them to do something.
02:26:16.220It's not like I need the money from the people to pay for this. They can pay for whatever the fuck they want.0.98
02:26:21.280Now, here's the funny thing that the people like AOC and the Democrats will say that and say, oh, we can give infinite money and reparations to black people.0.99
02:26:29.920Within MMT, what they say is that it's usually done through credit. The Fed creates credit.
02:26:35.400They don't create dollars. They create credit. Credit goes to the banks. Banks give it out in loans.
02:26:39.820So the idea is that, you know, as long as the capital is allocated to productive resources like companies or certain sectors and the sectors that they I'm giving a big MMT summary here, but he said we could keep doing this forever.
02:26:54.540If we put all if we open the spigots, the credit spigots over quantum computing, renewable energy, AI, there's a few others like rare materials, space, stuff like that.
02:27:06.960a lot of the stuff here talked about right now they're like well we could grow forever and there's
02:27:12.080this um manifesto that was released recently called the techno optimist manifesto written by
02:27:18.260mark anderson advocating for this here's what they won't tell you though um they will say
02:27:23.960growth infinite growth is possible in a sense but what it's more accurate to say infinite growth is
02:27:30.520required because within nmt you must keep growing the gdp by something to the tune of 2.5 percent
02:27:37.740a year otherwise everything blows the fuck up and everyone dies like the system needs to keep
02:27:43.500growing it's not like you can keep growing it must keep growing otherwise you get what happened in
02:27:47.9202008 the moment it starts to shake the entire thing collapses so that's where i think the
02:27:52.820techno optimists are a bit too optimistic point being that within modern monetary theory what
02:27:59.720i'm saying is that is kind of how it works right now and the problem is and it's like hyper hyper
02:28:04.960charge usury to go back to your main point this is usually taken to its fucking extreme that not
02:28:10.680only do you need to borrow money to do anything in society society only exists if you borrow money
02:28:17.120and super and dump it into the banks and loans upon loans upon loans so you in this model it
02:28:23.420you can't even remove yourself from the system that's the unfortunate part and the problem is
02:28:28.600that you know even the people who believe in modern monetary even if you're skeptical about it
02:28:32.800it kind of has to collapse it's like because i don't know where you start pulling the thread
02:28:37.740to unwork it same thing with usury like at this point unless you're living in something like an
02:28:44.140amish community it's like i don't even know how you rebel against usury it's almost like this is
02:28:49.780where the accelerationism comes from this is why there's so many accelerationists on our side which
02:28:54.080is like you know what crank the gas until this thing blows up you know and that's that's the
02:29:01.160ultimate black-pilled ideology but you know once you start investigating this stuff you're like
02:29:06.040damn well where would i even start to rebel against this it kind of has to just blow up i guess but
02:29:13.000that that's going to be ugly that's going to be like you know the great depression times 50 people0.99
02:29:19.620little and people don't really know what a desperate people do like yeah like selling your
02:29:24.560kids for prostitution and then meet that's where that goes you know like imagine yes just consider
02:29:30.540the dystopia that will befall humanity if everything collapses like that but anyway not
02:29:34.920to lead down a too dark a path but that's kind of i hope that that refers to anything you said
02:29:41.660i kind of went oh no no it does and i have a lot to go off there um because i have an alternative
02:29:45.500perspective um uh maybe an alternative hypothesis um the uh yeah uh do you know um he's one of my
02:29:55.900favorite he's probably my favorite person in the tribe um jeff snyder maybe you come across him
02:30:00.660he's a he's known for the euro dollar university and i've i've talked about a lot because i i he
02:30:06.940has a perspective that no one holds and i think he's like a chicago school ish type guy um but
02:30:15.200he uh i used to i kind of like what like 2020 2021 i was going down like from 2019 to like
02:30:23.760about when i started doing the oros post thing i was like going down a money
02:30:29.760economics rabbit hole like i was just obsessed and um i started out like gold is real money
02:30:40.320And we're going to have hyperinflation. But then Jeff Snyder and a couple other people, forgetting their names because it's been a minute, have Santiago Capital.
02:30:55.120I forget the guy's name, but that's another one. The Brent Johnson.
02:31:02.420Their point of view is the Fed actually doesn't do anything. It's the complete opposite.
02:31:10.320And I agree with this because the mechanics in which way money works is not it's not really the Federal Reserve.
02:31:18.260So the reason 2008 happened was not specifically like, oh, bad debt.
02:31:23.800It's because the financial system was built on collateralized loans that were unsecuritized.
02:31:33.700um and uh you know we loaned out you know we loaned out to a bunch of people who couldn't
02:31:40.680pay their debt and you stack that up with debt that's good and you say oh yeah this is a good
02:31:45.780collateralized what do they call it package you know the uh mortgage-backed securities um
02:31:52.060and it's like no you can't treat that like a bond but we did that for like 35 years we all around
02:31:57.960the world um money or or the way the financial system worked was banks all all of all of like
02:32:07.400people's retirement funds kind of hinged upon these mortgage-backed securities so it's like
02:32:12.380debt paying the same debt pays for people to retire it pays um rich people uh you know a
02:32:20.880couple more percentage points than bonds and then it all broke down and over a weekend you lose bear
02:32:27.220stearns and lehman brothers all because they were on they weren't in the the the seats during the
02:32:33.280game of magical or uh musical chairs um the thing is though money is not created by the fed they can
02:32:39.900do it it seems obviously they can just loan it out and or uh literally grant it out um the reason
02:32:46.280the economy is broken and this is jeff snyder's theory which i pretty much hold to i think he's
02:32:54.360right is that um banks don't want to loan because they saw what happened with mortgage-backed
02:33:01.920securities so asset-backed securities in general are seen as like well i know the fed ever since
02:33:08.040its inception has failed at being the fed they always fuck up so many banks fell apart so many
02:33:13.560people lost their homes because the fed just didn't want to go full socialist and bail everybody out
02:33:18.160um so what ends up happening is because there's like this i'm afraid to loan and the keynesian0.86
02:33:26.400economics shit doesn't work um because uh it the reserve requirement ratio which bank which it's
02:33:35.980like you you just talked about this like they give them credit no they really don't um banks0.98
02:33:41.840can create bank deposits based on nothing that's just how it is i mean there's regulation but it's
02:33:47.080kind of like they can just loan they have a thing called uh central bank reserves that they loan off
02:33:51.760of but they don't need those they need bonds because they don't trust anything else bonds
02:33:55.680can only go bad if the american government if the u.s government collapses which it's like if that
02:34:00.160happens the world every other government can collapse not the u.s because we have gold and
02:34:06.780not gold gold but the gold is the bonds the treasuries um there's no way that those can
02:34:13.020collapse and so all banks all every single economy in the world except china and america
02:34:18.700have been doing horribly ever since 2008 you look at any gdp chart you look at how people are doing0.93
02:34:24.500in any european nation any asian nation except like maybe vietnam china look at fucking japan0.99
02:34:32.140back from early 90s to now it's all shit it's all horrible and no one can no one can buy houses1.00
02:34:38.080No one has kids. Everyone's financially fucked. So what happens now that debt isn't creating value? Well, the Federal Reserve kind of has to become the bank, which is like Hamiltonian type shit. And I just don't know how that operates. I don't even know if that's good or bad.1.00
02:34:56.760but i think that would is going to happen in the event where it's just so bad that it's like
02:35:03.700screwed but this is where the turbo america thing start to make sense because i don't think the u.s
02:35:09.900can really collapse like it can it can the u.s government can live on for so long and function0.52
02:35:18.560in a lot of ways and you can have basically an entire mexican ethno state within its borders
02:35:24.200and it still functions yeah varies but like which is what you're seeing right now yeah yeah i live
02:35:30.520i it's i basically live in it and it's um i don't have issues with it yeah a lot of people on our
02:35:35.060side don't want this is something i know a lot of people don't care for peter zaihan for a lot of
02:35:40.320very good reasons especially based on what he's saying recently but he published a book called
02:35:44.820disunited nations many years ago that touches on a lot of predictions about uh what what could
02:35:51.400happen and he makes a point essentially what you're saying which is that like people need to
02:35:55.680really wrap their minds around how insanely huge and important america is and that america could
02:36:02.720withdraw a lot of its holdings globally and be fine and in fact what you might see in that
02:36:09.600instance and i'm not trying to make any predictions here but you are starting to see when they talk
02:36:13.880about on-shoring or reshoring or friend-shoring bringing industries back well they're mostly
02:36:18.540bringing them back to Mexico. So we're brokering a more aggressively friendly policy with Mexico
02:36:23.900and with Canada. There's a, you know, I won't get it from the predictions. There's a reality in the
02:36:29.740near future where Canada literally does just become a vassal state of the U.S. objectively
02:36:33.780because each province has a stronger trade relationship south of the border than it does
02:36:40.120between each other. I won't get into that. But you could actually see a United States of the
02:36:46.440americas with more aggressive relationships uh broken with south america as well and then there's0.99
02:36:52.560just this these entire this entire hemisphere is now just united and fuck the rest like you could0.94
02:36:58.740see that and america america is such a lead on everyone militarily it's not even funny and0.97
02:37:04.360everyone knows it and all the posturing is what it is posturing but even like china doesn't make
02:37:10.640sense without america as a sink for its manufactured goods like i don't want to get
02:37:16.980off on a whole you know trade thing no you can yeah but like i just i i i will increase the
02:37:25.420likelihood of me just misspeaking as well because i'm trying to like we talked about this along the
02:37:30.700show and i don't want to give the wrong number or something and i might i'll speak if i'd speak
02:37:35.680it'll be in very broad strokes. And China knows this, that it's this idea of, and this is going
02:37:42.160to get me in trouble, but the idea of sort of like a multipolar answer to America doesn't really hold
02:37:47.360a lot of water to me, just strictly economics. And this is something that, again, just to refer
02:37:53.480to Marco Popic, we can talk ideology all we want. We can talk about history, but there's certain
02:37:58.540material constraints that every revolutionary or ideologue bumps up against. And the fact is that
02:38:03.960the material constraints of china means that it fucking collapses if it doesn't have the u.s0.93
02:38:08.920market and it knows it and it needs to figure out what it's going to do about that and that0.92
02:38:13.060doesn't get talked about because half of our side is saying i hope china runs the world0.81
02:38:17.940first of all you fucking don't actually second of all it won't um you want to talk imperialism0.92
02:38:25.000like and i won't that's they they they are like their their strategy to take over the world0.99
02:38:30.800is to backstab everybody and everybody fucking knows it yeah like like everyone knows even china0.98
02:38:37.840knows chinese people aren't cool china's not cool at least america's still kind of cool at0.99
02:38:42.340least america was there's no chinese cowboy who wants to be china yeah it's like ask your chat0.99
02:38:50.080you won't be fucking chinese dude they have they have you it's like they have dog restaurants these0.98
02:38:56.420people like watch like children get run over by a box truck and then the box truck will back on it0.99
02:39:03.200to make their make sure they're dead people walk by it and they're like okay like that's judas
02:39:07.520lived in hong kong for 10 years so he's the first guy i go to because everyone's like oh what do i
02:39:14.500believe the story coming out where he's like no no i'll tell you what stories are real i've been
02:39:18.480to mainland china here's what fucking happened and it's worse than you could imagine yeah and
02:39:23.520then you know he's also like a lot there's a lot of stories on the right about how good0.97
02:39:28.460north korea secretly is because you know america just lies and he's like no like i've known
02:39:33.940people from north korea they end up in china and they're not like american agents they'll it's like
02:39:40.140a feudal state in most of it right now it's not good it's it's very possible for these areas to
02:39:46.600actually be bad on their own without american materialist imperialist yeah lies you know0.96
02:39:52.940like china is not it's just not a place you want to fucking live yeah and and it's and it's like0.97
02:40:01.320they have a different conception of human life they have a different conceptualization of0.96
02:40:04.960honor of honoring your word like right down to how you or i would interact with another person
02:40:12.340is completely alien and if you've ever done business with eastern companies you'll know this0.72
02:40:17.260like you need to hire someone from there to be like uh can you just make sure they don't rape me
02:40:21.560they don't they don't just send me a fake product just because they think it's funny to lie you know
02:40:28.120to a business anyway yes um yeah uh i think i ran out of steam on that um well okay um
02:40:39.940yeah i don't know where to go i think that's that's that was a good talk on on like really
02:40:45.160just um the ran is the world is ran on usury and it's just uh america is the the machine that keeps
02:40:53.520it going um i don't uh i think the reaction that's already happening is is like materializing um
02:41:00.820generation by generation slowly yeah oh and let me just say before i forget uh and this just to
02:41:05.800cycle back to what we were talking about before, I always try and keep in view, what are we telling
02:41:10.300people to do? So what we just described about Turbo America, the way international trade works
02:41:18.080and is reliant on America, we talked about accelerationism. It's like, okay, but what do
02:41:21.780you tell the young person like yourself who wants it? Like, do I buy land? What do I do?
02:41:27.300So I really do think the answer is something akin to what you're doing, which is building
02:41:32.020these parallel networks and societies and that does not mean just you know be amish that does
02:41:38.320not necessarily mean like let's just go start a bunch of farms it's like a loser mentality right
02:41:43.400there yeah all the stuff we talk you know a lot of the debates we get into on the right is because
02:41:47.920we actually don't just have a goal or a momentum not everyone and we are getting there uh but a
02:41:52.800lot of us we just don't know what to do um but we need like a project or an action plan and once
02:41:57.680you have that you can actually start a lot of these little petty grievances sort of fall away
02:42:02.720so you know when i say create a parallel system or society that's kind of what people are doing
02:42:07.200right now you probably have an affinity network of a few different people um and that's actually
02:42:12.920you know what i recommend young guys do yeah young men for like the zoomers and the gen alphas
02:42:18.660um and this will sound like an old man thing to say but this is kind of how i did it you know i
02:42:24.480didn't really get aggressively into this sort of politics until i was you know in my late 20s early
02:42:31.48030s i spent my 20s trying to gain experience finding a group a crew of guys the best friends
02:42:39.660that you can trust and rely on some guys do that through the military some guys do that through
02:42:44.380work some guys just do it with their friends i think that's more essential to surviving long
02:42:49.700term than like going online as a young guy and trying to find a revolution to join i think if
02:42:55.360you're a guy and you could find like a group of people that you can rely on like five to seven
02:43:00.520guys and you can find them online as long as you're like really really close you can kind of
02:43:05.100do anything you can build a house you can fucking you can take over a fort you can do anything with
02:43:11.060five to seven guys in my opinion that sounds like a glib statement but it's true and i think there's0.79
02:43:15.860A lot of young guys who are just shopping around for the revolutionary struggle to join.
02:43:21.620And that's what gets them into trouble.
02:43:23.280And that's what has guys joining personality cults.
02:43:26.420So what I say is, like, you know, if you can get that grounding, if you can get some experience, build some skills, irrespective of whatever the political struggle is, you will have a better chance of building this sort of self-sustaining life.
02:43:41.040And then you can group up with other guys and start to say, maybe we start some businesses, maybe.
02:43:46.740And a lot of these projects are already being done right now.
02:43:49.060Like on our side, there's a lot of like hush, hush, secret stuff about support networks.
02:43:53.720Homeschooling networks are a great example of this done every single day.
02:51:21.440to like make you don't even like make noise like the fucking like you know these far right dudes0.97
02:51:26.840have been doing for decades don't be goofy about it just like realize that you you need to make you0.98
02:51:32.700need to take that risk of i need to have my own institution because i'm so sick of working at this
02:51:38.960job that sucks and i want to be able to like like imagine if catholics just came together
02:51:45.020and like like a bishop uh just said okay catholics don't work a job where you have to work on sunday0.95
02:51:52.660and if and if all catholics in america just need to or in this diocese need to just demand that no
02:51:58.520i'm not working sunday and you know that's going to happen more and more because the labor problem
02:52:02.780is so fucking bad um especially in blue collar jobs just start using your leverage because if0.92
02:52:08.560you're a good employee you know you're on time and you're fucking good use your leverage to make0.98
02:52:13.720your company not shitty and you know yeah and let me just say this before i forget and for people0.81
02:52:18.940listening the leverage shouldn't just be removing yourself from the company because i heard some
02:52:24.460people you know we'll start from the position of especially white guys you know that's kind of who
02:52:29.740we are implying with this you have a lot of power if you collectivize if you speak with a voice i'm0.98
02:52:35.800gonna sound like one of these damn commies but it's true but every time i see that articulated0.91
02:52:41.760it's usually in the interest of yeah and if you quit your job that'll show them and that's why i0.98
02:52:46.180don't like that's the same problem as like just leave the cities or leave everything and they'll
02:52:51.720miss you when they're gone they won't miss you when you're gone everything will get worse then
02:52:54.820you'll be stuck with it so like to your point which is like realize the leverage that you could
02:53:01.140possess but don't use that leverage to remove yourself from the conversation or leave the
02:53:05.640company and hope that it falls apart or leaves aside hope it falls apart use that to actually
02:53:09.760advocate for something within the organization and i think that um you know when we talk about
02:53:14.940the problems of modernity however we want to describe it they're usually like i said 45
02:53:19.480different problems and it can make your mind spin once you can start thinking about them like one
02:53:25.240is the biological crisis of you know mass immigration there's the stuff people forget
02:53:31.580that you know there's plastic in your blood too that testosterone is dropping that's a big one
02:53:36.120sometimes we forget that that's happening there's not a lot of political answers for that that's0.89
02:53:40.180just a fucking insane thing that we deal with another one and there's a bunch i could go through
02:53:44.480but the one i'll talk about is the competency crisis that's something that a lot of people0.96
02:53:48.120have remarked upon and it's we're deciding whether it's good or bad i the position i'm
02:53:53.400going to take right now is that the competency crisis reveals a lot of opportunities and windows0.99
02:53:59.200for people um the fact that if your oppressors are very stupid and the organization is hollow0.97
02:54:05.280So, you know, every time, like you were saying about or Charlemagne's point about, you know, showing up with 100 guys, you know, you might enter those hallowed halls and think, oh, my God, this system is so big.1.00
02:54:16.240Then you see Mitch McConnell's brain melt out of his fucking skull on live TV and you realize, wow, half these people are losing their minds.0.96
02:54:24.580Congress people are nine hundred and fifty years old and they don't know what's going on.1.00
02:54:31.000That won't last forever. But there seems that in certain areas of society, it's just full of the dumbest or the dumbest or dyingest people you can imagine. So I look at that and again, back to the project thinking of like, what can we do about that? Does the competency crisis mean that we could put some pressure on certain areas? You know, we talk about, oh, in the future, the military is all going to be like black lesbians.1.00
02:54:55.940it's like okay sure what does that mean for us what can we do with that is there something we0.93
02:55:01.280can do in the interest of doing something over here you know anyway that's just questions people
02:55:06.800can ask themselves instead of getting too defeatist the competency crisis could present
02:55:11.660opportunities for driven groups or you know collectivized parallel societies yeah yeah um
02:55:21.400uh i uh i it's it's um i know a young guy oh i think he just graduated you know i'm i i am kind
02:55:31.800of well one that i will say the company the competency crisis and i've just experienced
02:55:36.860this my entire adulthood um in blue collar jobs is um old dogs are not they're not really interested0.99
02:55:47.080in carrying on their skills to younger people and they kind of see young dogs as like one morons0.96
02:55:53.640and then two um like like we're we're incompetent in our blood and we just can't learn and uh they0.99
02:56:01.640always they always want to jump on shit and do stuff for themselves um and so and that's really0.78
02:56:08.120not entirely their fault it's like the 90s and i had this when i was young but it it it it fell0.92
02:56:14.960off like i had the the the um uh i had you know my mom was kind of a helicopter mom when i was a
02:56:21.400kid up until probably about 11 12 and that kind of went away like the 90s to the 2000s was just
02:56:26.600this era of like everyone born during that time was just like uh uh sequestered off to go play
02:56:34.240video games or stay within like you know uh uh one tenth of a square mile yeah hey my mom was
02:56:42.240a helicopter mom to the helicopter from the start of apocalypse now it's it's uh
02:56:51.580it but it's like you can't i you in one way you can't blame these young guys but too i i kind of
02:56:59.120see like um you know judas he's brought up fourth the fourth turning book which i do love that book
02:57:04.140it's kind of like a meme book but it is it's a good book you know when you read it you kind of
02:57:08.300see things a little differently and it's helpful but um uh there's nothing i can say about it that
02:57:13.620hasn't already been said really but um uh where was i going with that um uh fuck um well i'll say
02:57:22.420just on the con i actually haven't read the fourth turning so i'm just gonna i know he's talked about
02:57:26.920it one thing that it reminds me of it's described i think it's called the historoidal cycle where
02:57:32.900it's like strong men create good times good times create weak men weak men create bad times bad
02:57:38.620times create strong men that'll cycle um my fear and this is just to circle back to the turbo
02:57:44.380america thing my fear is that a lot of the accelerationists and people who hope that
02:57:49.440things collapse or get worse like well that'll create strong men not always you could have
02:57:54.840collapse scenarios where the the men just stay weak forever yeah that actually happens more0.57
02:57:59.920frequently in history or they just become like you know retarded murderers i mean like yeah
02:58:06.400i'll collapse um uh actually a bet a really good book to read is a collapse of complex societies
02:58:13.500um by a joseph a tainter um ha ha ha and uh he he uh he talked about and you mentioned this um
02:58:22.100uh is is kind of like the the alliance thing between all these dr dudes but
02:58:26.520um every time in history where there's like a giant problem like a giant empire uh he uses a
02:58:32.460great example um that i go back to all the time is uh the the the um the alliance at monte alban
02:58:42.140and uh the the the city state empire of teotihuacan in mexico which this i think would
02:58:50.420have been around like 700 AD 680 and what happened was this giant this giant empire uh in terms of
02:58:58.740like infrastructure and just quality you know but it's still really just a city-state which you know
02:59:04.280is pretty good for uh you know Mexico in the 600s or whatever um it was called Teotihuacan and they
02:59:11.200they could literally conscript tens of thousands of men to go like build something like they were
02:59:17.200powerful and all these other small tribes who were dumber than them were like we have to ally0.97
02:59:22.820and we hate each other but we have to ally and either like fight back or just wait and that's0.97
02:59:27.600what they did they waited like 50 years and teotihuacan just got too complex too fast and they
02:59:32.860and they they they collapsed because they couldn't maintain that um that massive amount of consumption
02:59:38.840um and then also have the production to you know meet that that demand um which is like a very real
02:59:46.200thing happening the thing i was going to bring up about uh fourth turning is um uh they uh one
02:59:53.700of my favorite parts is they bring up um the silent generation and and interestingly enough
02:59:58.120like there's like four generations in each um secular cycle as they call it and it's like about
03:00:04.46080 years long the entire duration and um the silent generation was the crisis generation
03:00:11.480and what what's interesting is they they have statistics showing how the silent generation
03:00:16.260were the first generation in history and even up to now that when they were asked only like five
03:00:22.800percent when they were asked would you do you want to start a business do you want to do all this
03:00:27.460you want to like you know get a lot of money the silent generation was like no i don't want a nice0.99
03:00:32.060car i don't want you know i'm not a big balls motherfucker i just want to feed my kids i just0.97
03:00:36.980want a good job i want a good union job to feed my kids and then you get to the boomers and it's0.98
03:00:42.500complete opposite and what i see with like generation z being the crisis generation of now
03:00:48.420um not that i stand by this book in an orthodox sense because it's not entirely accurate especially
03:00:54.340now that america is not really an anglo country but uh the generation z is probably gonna have
03:01:01.140this similar issue where they're just like i just want the trains to run on time and i don't care0.94
03:01:05.440about these sad little narratives that people try to feed to me i just want shit to work and i don't0.82
03:01:11.220i want to be able to spend time with whatever friends or family i have i'm tired of seeing0.97
03:01:15.740trannies walking the streets and uh people getting killed over drugs i'm so sick of it i'm done
03:01:22.140just please put these just like one thing that i've talked about is like one of these weird
03:01:28.560things and if it happened like i remember trump mentioned something like this a few months ago
03:01:33.420which if he did this if anybody did this it would be epic it's just we need to just go
03:01:40.360pinochet on the drug problem don't do what we did for 40 years just literally if you find drug0.99
03:01:46.820dealers just kill them like kill drug dealers any drug smog any drug smugglers you find them0.88
03:01:53.240you find their stations line them up and it's like that is going to fix your drug problem and1.00
03:01:59.420it's everywhere it's disgusting and it's just your your rot continues and i just i think my
03:02:05.120this generation is just going to be so beaten down by how shitty it is they're like i don't even0.98
03:02:10.140like i don't the silent generation had a similar thing like a lot of the guys who made it out of0.92
03:02:15.140the silent generation all the stories you hear about him like your great your grandpa who was
03:02:19.960like always quiet and always just like around the house working you know working on a shed
03:02:23.620you ask him a question he was always a one-word answer those guys they probably like killed
03:02:28.720somebody at some point to like get food for their family and they didn't and they just don't tell0.98
03:02:33.580anybody and they just have to live with that shit you know it's stuff like that and gen z is like0.96
03:02:37.960they're kind of going through the same bout but they're not they're not like tough men0.98
03:02:41.720well also consider you know this is where i empathize especially with uh gen z but also
03:02:46.680millennials too which is you know let's refer to the silent generation when they said all i want to
03:02:51.060do is feed my kids well if you ask that to the gen z it's like all i want to do is feed my kids
03:02:56.920but there's plastic in the food too so i guess we need to solve the food issue and it's like i want
03:03:01.700to be able to pay my house well i can't get a house and in terms of my kids well the entire
03:03:06.140legal apparatus is aligned against me so that my wife can take my kids so like once you look at
03:03:12.040once you're in the on the ground there you're like what do you actually want well i want to
03:03:16.060change every single aspect of society by 30 which is actually what you need to do so that's the true
03:03:22.960nihilism i think that is being experienced a nihilism that is not experienced by older
03:03:28.360generations which is like oh yeah all that stuff you went through but remember that the government
03:03:32.720is trying to kill you and it is watching you right now and i think an interesting marker of that is
03:03:39.100and this will be just a recent phenomenon but if you track memes and i'm old enough to remember
03:03:45.380this i remember when memes used to be just a tiny bit depressing the types of memes that young
03:03:52.000people get now are just about how they're schizophrenic and want to kill themselves and
03:03:56.600that's hilarious and that like you know everyone will say like it's so much worse now for young
03:04:01.880people because the only thing we commiserate over is being insane and suicidal and that's and then
03:04:08.580we laugh about it you know i mean so but if you show the types of memes that are circulating even0.97
03:04:13.440in kind of leftist circles to an older person it'll break their fucking mind because also i0.94
03:04:18.880remember i remind people this is like their big trauma of these generations was nuclear war0.98
03:04:24.440we're starting from a place of nuclear war the risk has not gone down of nuclear war we've
03:04:30.000accepted that and things got worse so start from saying oh yeah we can die in nuclear hellfire0.62
03:04:35.840but then also uh my balls are about to fall off and uh my kids are going to be stolen by the state1.00
03:04:42.480and their genitals mutilated if i do the wrong internet search like shit like that that's mind0.99
03:04:47.780bending so at the most of these kids would be like what do you want i would love to be able to0.99
03:04:54.120at least die with a house i know i can't have a house right now but maybe one day i can have a
03:05:00.440house before i die like there's the the and they're being denied that and that's the problem
03:05:06.100and i don't know if that's getting better so to your main point their capacity to accept violence0.99
03:05:12.040will be a lot more wide open than people believe like they'll they're not gonna give a shit like0.97
03:05:17.760we already see massacres and we don't care like you're not gonna shake these young people if you0.93
03:05:23.660see like the the main complaint about january 6 is that nobody important died that's what people0.60
03:05:30.220wanted to fucking see by the way so you know i probably shouldn't be saying that on youtube but0.93
03:05:35.940fuck we said that on our podcast it's like the only complaint about january 6 is we always give0.99
03:05:40.680the example when you're punching someone in the head you need to conceptualize in your own mind0.99
03:05:45.720yourself punching through their skull and that didn't conceptualize punching through the skull
03:05:50.720and i'll just leave it at that anyway yeah the uh um the the thing is like uh and like i'm allergic
03:05:58.500to the concept of revolution i wrote a little sub stack dealio called uh revolution is a spirit
03:06:05.680um and i and i framed it in the same way like the way like once people start drinking and one person
03:06:13.900start drinking more and another person does and before you know it within a couple hours people0.69
03:06:18.260are shit-faced and it's like it's a it's like a it's a spirit it's in the air it's in it's in0.98
03:06:23.620the vibe it's in the room that it just starts happening um revolution is like this demonic0.98
03:06:28.080thing in my opinion where it's just like it's a thing that really shouldn't happen i it's always
03:06:33.500like we really should desire just proper order it would be nice if america could function and
03:06:40.040just exist properly and i want to see that i have no like i i i'm i i like i i'm i'm i'm on i'm on
03:06:49.900the the uh the deep state side when when when um i see like right wing dudes become these giant
03:06:56.440russophiles and they're like oh dude russia's gonna make the west base they need to take over0.99
03:07:00.500everything like dude you're a fucking you are being you are being played by like bots like1.00
03:07:04.780you're being played by uh foreign disinformation you shouldn't want that you should want your1.00
03:07:09.900country to function that that's like another big beef i have just seeing like dude just i mean one0.99
03:07:15.640you you shouldn't have opinions about these fucking slobs like that's their deal and it0.98
03:07:21.340regardless of if the cia caused something or not i mean they cause everything whatever fine but like0.98
03:07:26.440you you should still want that to function um and yeah let me just say this i i i try and
03:07:33.200move carefully when i make these because there's a lot of people in our space that are hostile to
03:07:37.740these sorts of discussions but my position is that there's a creeping threat of third worldism
03:07:46.040within this thing called the dissonant right i think a lot of people need to be very third
03:07:51.860worldism um it could also be known as duganism um doing is alexander dugan is a very interesting
03:07:58.280not a stupid man very a good philosopher but he is uh spearheading this internationalist movement0.89
03:08:05.680against the West, against the imperialists. A lot of it kind of emerges from very familiar1.00
03:08:12.020communist thinking, which is that the third world needs to rise up and topple the imperialist West.
03:08:18.760So if you ever heard the term Atlanticist, that's where this comes from. So you're anti-America,
03:08:23.880but also Britain, any of the Atlantic empire. So there's a lot of money flowing in from third
03:08:33.620world is and this is where anytime you hear someone say again i've gotten we've gotten in
03:08:38.700trouble with this on the show recently where i was saying you know with israel versus palestine
03:08:43.540i'm like i'm no fan of israel but i'm like i will stop short of calling like the muslim independence
03:08:50.680movement my brothers in the common struggle because i'm aware that a lot of these muslim or
03:08:56.320arab movements kind of group me in with the jews like they don't like white people either
03:09:00.840Or saying that, oh, you know, the struggle of North Korea is our struggle. Those are our brothers. Like seeing any third world is independent struggle as your own, especially if you're a white nationalist. I don't hate that. But there's a lot of there's a lot of propaganda coming into our space from that sector to turn, I believe, turn white people against their own self interests.
03:09:25.800and i could spend like an hour going on this i'm going to try and summarize it by saying that
03:09:30.420i i think if you can teach white people how to advocate for their self-interest they'll stop
03:09:35.540shopping around for other ethnic groups to align with for their self-interests um and it's pioneered
03:09:43.320by a lot of the dugan which is like he's not your friend like he he hates he's he's not like a friend
03:09:50.480of the west either they would love to see the west destroyed and i don't think they would welcome you
03:09:54.640with open arms that's my sense from having read dugan pretty extensively and spent time in these0.98
03:10:01.020circles like this isn't me talking shit i've had many conversations with these individuals
03:10:04.740i've done the reading there's a there's a lot of people in our space i would say are our third0.98
03:10:10.840worldest and and are always like let's find another foreign nationalist movement that hates
03:10:15.800us to side with to convince them that we're the good ones i mean almost all of them want america
03:10:20.620to be destroyed that's the common thread between them they're they're like you know if you ever0.99
03:10:25.380heard them call america the great satan you know it's shit like that and i'm like it's there's0.99
03:10:30.940something going on there and it's hard to make that case without being labeled as a zionist0.97
03:10:38.640that's the other thing so it's like oh if you think that you must be like pro-israel i'm like i
03:10:42.320can that that's that that's almost their framing that's the framing they want so it's like oh if
03:10:46.440you don't if you don't love the Palestinian movement that means you are a Jewish imperialist
03:10:53.180that's a strange way of looking at it but I've been accused that by these types of people0.91
03:10:57.480anyway that was a bit of a tangent I don't I'm trying to use my words carefully I really hate
03:11:03.500anti-semitics and anti-zionists I'm uh I'm we're we're fully in support of um uh Israel here and
03:11:10.200I just I just want to make that clear to anybody who's listening yeah like to me it's like you can
03:11:14.600have a nuanced discussion about this sort of stuff instead of trying to clear shut up so this
03:11:20.200stays on youtube sorry yeah like good guys versus bad guys and that's sort of like the marvel
03:11:25.460vacation of it and i'm like we should be better than that at least anyway i know i'm gonna get
03:11:31.400a lot of hate comments for that but i'm like just be aware that anyway i'll repeat myself
03:11:37.640if i just keep going so we could well uh okay uh i live in the country so i can go pee right
03:11:44.920outside this door here so i'm gonna do that and i'm gonna ask you a question i'll be listening
03:11:48.660to you um what do you uh what is and maybe i don't know i'm sure uh you could go off on this
03:11:56.880but like is um there there seems to be like this unanimous the wasp needs to return to
03:12:03.420to like power like we restoring this like i think that's one of the most other the third world has
03:12:09.760seemed to be mostly at least when i see it on like twitter um is uh like mexicans um
03:12:17.340but the the the restoration of the wasp seems to be like um the the the go-to goal so that america
03:12:27.160is like you restore identity those guys will do things properly do you see is that is that even
03:12:32.580feasible and is that desirable uh yeah i think it is and there's some guys i know who advocate for
03:12:39.440that i think uh you probably know them the old glory club um they're very into that sort of
03:12:44.060thinking and i do agree with that i have nothing against the wasp i think they're correct in their
03:12:49.420historical context i think they're correct in their idealism the question is whether or not
03:12:55.940it's practical and the people once again i refer to the people asking the right questions i think
03:13:01.240the people asking the right questions are like okay what is it about the wasp the white anglo-saxon
03:13:06.540protestant that did help create america that helped define america and arguably is still in
03:13:12.820control in a lot of areas like there's a lot let's not say that wasp power is completely dissipated
03:13:17.200there are still wasps some people would even say that they've become inverted that maybe
03:13:22.040you know they need to go away but i think the right people asking the right questions
03:13:26.020especially those affiliated with the old glory club are the ones saying like okay what about
03:13:30.900this group do where's the magic in that group and if it has fallen maybe we don't we don't try and
03:13:38.140return to how it used to be but we want to capture the essence of that group and maybe replicate it
03:13:44.160elsewhere now the problem we get and this is where we kind of return to what we were just talking
03:13:49.100about about you know the the global state of affairs with trade is that there are no more
03:13:54.280frontiers so a lot of the uh material circumstances and a lot of the constraints um that are present
03:14:03.100to us weren't present for wasps when america was founded so it's it's not like we could replicate
03:14:07.740the wasp rise to power the line for line but i think they're correct in saying that what is it
03:14:14.760about like the idea of the white anglo-saxon protestant being if not the main identity in
03:14:21.480america is one of them because if you go into like american history there's you know that book
03:14:26.000american nations and alibi and seed are good for this actually breaking down the genealogy
03:14:30.240of the ethnic groups that founded america wasp is kind of one of a few but let's just say that's
03:14:36.760like one of the main ones especially in became to dominate okay but what about that group can
03:14:44.200survive and thrive in the 21st century and it won't look like what survived and thrived in the
03:14:48.840previous century but when i talk about like self-interest that's kind of what i'm talking
03:14:52.880about like okay our self the self-interest of this group is survival now the survival of this
03:14:58.280group might not look like colonial america and maybe it involves like settling somewhere else
03:15:03.700maybe it involves conglomerating in one part of america and achieving sovereignty by numbers there
03:15:09.760and then expanding outward uh but that the question of like do we think they still are
03:15:16.040relevant yes do we think that they can survive in 20 per century yes do i think they can achieve
03:15:21.800that status yes but they probably need to be asking different questions but i think they're
03:15:28.000still in the phase of like okay what what is this group like they're like this is the problem that
03:15:33.260a lot of young people have that we talked about before like you feel very fragmented you feel
03:15:37.160very scattered right now it's not obvious if you are this type of individual how you can
03:15:42.540go to where your people are you know you're you're stuck in you know new orleans or atlanta
03:15:48.700or some fucking place but i hope that's an answer to your question it's a lot of yeses but0.92
03:15:55.020the shape it will take will necessarily be different because i think we need to need that0.97
03:16:00.740group needs to go through a different sort of ethnogenesis uh in the 21st century and i think0.92
03:16:05.120it will need a new frontier and this is where we get into kooky shit like space and stuff but you
03:16:10.560we don't need to go down that road but that's why our side is like the only one they're excited
03:16:14.240about going to other planets it's like okay let's just do america on mars we'll do it again this
03:16:19.180time right um yeah but i know a lot of especially the the christian people they don't like the idea
03:16:26.740of just abandoning earth either so that's like it's that's that's a hard sell i think especially
03:16:32.540oh yeah yeah i'm not interested in any of that but i like if they do it i'm just like i
03:16:39.160i mean it it space kind of embodies like uh vast chaos and nothing it's like horrible i don't know
03:16:48.500it just seems like like maybe we should do that it's just i it's like one of those things where
03:16:54.560i'm like i'm a peasant lay person and i'm just like you know the state will do what the state
03:17:00.120does and that's fine just don't make me do things that are wrong and if you do then i don't have to
03:17:05.180follow it yeah but in that techno optimist manifesto and it's funny that i don't know if
03:17:10.580you read that manifesto but on our gum road and our patreon i do a line for line review of that
03:17:16.680it's like over two hours long but they have this one line in there that our children will live
03:17:21.820among the stars and i just keep saying that space is mostly a tomb you know like it's not a place
03:17:28.760you want to be and you think it's full of wonder and it's mostly like radiation and gravity that
03:17:33.640will turn you inside out and then just silence maddening silence so like i don't you know if
03:17:39.580we're talking about going to space or another planet it's like you hope you land on a planet
03:17:43.260where you don't suffocate and then maybe you just end up mysteriously irradiated like it's not a fun0.97
03:17:49.200hopeful thing it's it's you know at least when you went to america you could find some fucking0.97
03:17:54.560corn you're not finding corn on mars yeah that's great um well uh i guess i i've ran out of stuff0.97
03:18:05.280um i don't know how long you uh are able to go um but i can go a bit longer i think we're at like an
03:18:11.460hour 23 i'm thinking maybe another 10 15 minutes then i gotta start getting this baby of mine down
03:18:17.640to bed yeah uh are you a cradle catholic no no no i'm i'm a new guy oh wow wow wow uh would you
03:18:26.600would you if i can ask would you grow up in what was your milieu nothing nothing um i was grown up
03:18:33.180pretty not even atheist just agnostic um my parents i know my grandparents were anglican
03:18:40.560um but my mother and father were not and so they just it was never talked about so that when i would
03:18:47.420go to i would have friends who were you know protestants or baptists and i would go to their
03:18:52.680church and i literally didn't know what it was yeah what's this building it seems nice it's got
03:18:57.460an interesting smell to it but like i just didn't get it and i think later on they said like oh we
03:19:03.140just we wanted you to find out for yourself and make your own decisions and i'm like as i'm raising
03:19:08.340my kid i'm like well you know give them something to go off of make it so they don't just wander0.98
03:19:13.300and like hey who's that guy up there nailed to a cross you know like you just sound fucking0.88
03:19:19.000retarded yeah uh yeah i grew up in a similar situation um uh my dad's side was uh pentecostal0.93
03:19:27.900um and he he became an atheist my mom was catholic and she became just kind of vaguely
03:19:34.020spiritual um so i grew up with like nothing i didn't even know who jesus christ was really or
03:19:39.520like any of that until i was probably like a preteen or something like i would i have new kids
03:19:45.180like i grew up in the south but i was just always puzzled and i was always like well uh we don't do
03:19:51.940it and my family is relatively functional so i'm like uh it's stupid um but then it's just like
03:20:00.420well uh yeah i you kind of confront the cosmological argument and then just like0.81
03:20:05.200what's your point in life and then it kind of becomes like oh well scientists are like moving
03:20:12.060the goal posts and changing their literal myth like mythological tale of history all the time
03:20:17.740and i'm like that like that's weird why would i do that with truth like truth has to be an
03:20:23.580objectively solid thing you know what's interesting is that again as someone in their 30s i was coming
03:20:29.840up in the age of like peak atheism atheism as pop culture atheism like there's the online atheist
03:20:38.460versus christianity movement but even prior to that you had your maryland mansons like this was
03:20:42.820the golden era of ripping pages out of the bible on stage so it was cool to rebel against christianity
03:20:50.560even if you had no strong feelings about it and i'm not sure that's the case anymore not i'm i'm
03:20:56.020an old head so i don't have my finger too far on the pulse of the culture but i don't see that
03:21:00.960like rebelling against christianity as objectively if i did so maybe that has something to do with
03:21:06.980more people are comfortable with it but also you don't see it represented in the media because
03:21:11.920also when i was growing up you know if you didn't go to church you watch the simpsons and the
03:21:16.240simpsons went to church so you knew what it was but if you just if you don't see it if you're not
03:21:21.000you know brought into that world and you don't see it in the culture you almost have no initiation
03:21:27.300into what this thing is and that's just i don't know what that's like for young people i think
03:21:33.180that's a completely different experience than what i had did you have like a rebellious phase at all
03:21:37.600oh yeah jesus christ yeah me too yeah i was i was a piece i mean i was suspended from school
03:21:44.760like four times yeah i was um also my father passed when i was pretty young and so that mom
03:21:51.900passed when i was young too yeah and that um you know i don't want to get off of like a little
03:21:57.120psychoanalytic thing but i do find um a close family member passing when you're young especially
03:22:01.540if you're a man kind of kicks you off into just rebellion in every direction so like i spent most
03:22:07.300of my teens and 20s into the drugs into the sex into the just just wanting destruction looking
03:22:13.640back it was it was just being an insane person um getting into like i won't go into too much
03:22:21.160detail but let's just say crime and things like that gang stuff and what have you um obviously
03:22:26.320not anymore but um yeah i think that had a big impact of it um i think a lot of people probably
03:22:33.120have something similar going on and i can only imagine with divorce rates going up there will
03:22:38.900be something analogous to that as well like young people just more now more than ever before lacking
03:22:45.540a family structure that seems coherent um yeah again i can only imagine what it's like
03:22:52.320i would assume my experience is widely held yeah um what i've noticed with like um i do like living
03:23:02.080in a culturally catholic area having coming from like a more uh the baptist area of texas the the
03:23:09.580bible church area i've now live in a very catholic area because it's freaking ethnically catholic um
03:23:16.680but the the you know when you kind of confront people's religious their values you know ranging
03:23:26.500in intelligence there's always like a like they there is like a pull to god even with especially0.91
03:23:33.060like dumber guys um that i know who are like for all intents and purposes like kind of scoundrels0.60
03:23:39.800in their life because they're just they're just blue collar tough they had a bad childhood or0.99
03:23:43.740something divorce shit like that um but there's always like a there's a pull they know they have0.71
03:23:49.240to believe in god because it's the thing that makes sense like whatever but um there's a complete0.95
03:23:54.720chaotic approach to it that everybody has where it's like even culturally catholic people even
03:23:59.880though they i think are more they kind of get it more than i've noticed with prots because i've
03:24:05.700been in the prot direction and that is um at least in terms of the lower church it goes it can go0.97
03:24:12.040insane it can i mean i was like house church type pentecostal type of stuff and that is insane shit
03:24:19.720um what i'm getting at is there's like a chaos of people's approach to god in truth now and0.91
03:24:27.880everyone has their own like their own approach to it and i think that's why you get like this mass
03:24:34.080um like conversion and reversion happening um in catholicism and eastern orthodoxy to this like
03:24:42.620insane degree like i have several irl friends who are eastern orthodox converts who are all
03:24:49.980young men like it's yeah big time that's something i've noticed too and they'll say like
03:24:54.780well it's the least cucked and then you're like well is that the right framing to be using for1.00
03:25:00.100something like this yeah it's stupid you're gonna fuck up if you that's your basis which1.00
03:25:04.160um it's like you're choosing a church for political reasons yeah yeah and you see that a1.00
03:25:10.880lot of and and my priest he knows i'm in marketing and uh you know we're very very friendly he's the
03:25:18.160one who baptized me and um he's he's a lot of priests are asked the same question how do we
03:25:23.200get more people into the church and you know he doesn't really know my political leanings although
03:25:27.980i've made them clear in various ways but um i'm like well you know what there's a group that you
03:25:34.440want and there's a group that you don't want and if you actually again if you're talking practically
03:25:38.640like let's say you have a problem i want to get more people to attend church that's what most
03:25:44.220priests see because they don't see it through the political lens but i'm thinking okay i could
03:25:49.100probably find a lot of guys to fill these seats but they would probably be the wrong types of guys
03:25:55.240for this um and i need to ask those questions and do you want more like do you want very politicized
03:26:01.060might be kind of easy do you want guys who are just always switching between types of christianity
03:26:06.380you can find those guys you know you know do you want people to join the church for political
03:26:11.580reasons that's a big one like you can probably find that but you know you might not want those
03:26:17.040guys because they'll leave again for eastern orthodoxy because they're they're looking for
03:26:20.980who's going to tell them when the holy war is starting and maybe that's not the maybe that
03:26:25.420group is it's it's more difficult to wrangle long term than no one being there and then like oh we
03:26:31.440want young families well that's a hard problem that means like you're especially these churches
03:26:36.360like are there young families in the area well you know maybe not so then what do we do about
03:26:41.660that anyway it's it's a complex problem but it's one that i've actually kind of been tasked with
03:26:46.280answering and and it explodes out into complexity once you think about it yeah one thing i have
03:26:51.300noticed that like you're not going to get um one thing i've that's i've really come to understand
03:26:56.960and i think the internet i've know also a lot of people irl and on the internet who married
03:27:02.260through some type of internet thing uh met people married through twitter or a discord server
03:27:10.320and they're fine they're fine they're good um or dating apps um but these these the issue and
03:27:17.660it's just this thing eat it eats at me is like these reverent novus ordos and tlms you know
03:27:24.200they're full in a lot of places they're thriving with families but you have this issue of a lot
03:27:29.080of single men and then you go to the more casual novus ordo the more feely feely and it's full of
03:27:35.300young beautiful beautiful catholics are the most beautiful women the beautiful women and it's like
03:27:41.520there's no like mormons do better at forcing people like hey we are here to find a wife
03:27:48.660slash husband um at this event it's not for us to be like uh like we're here to do that
03:27:53.940that would be more helpful but like that all i see currently and myself is include i'm including

03:28:12.820he he's he's like gotten kind of pissed off he has so many of these like 20 something 30
03:28:19.300something dudes who become orthodox good guys work jobs you know good dudes but um they don't
03:28:26.220they don't get married you know they don't even try and it's like dude that you can't have a
03:28:29.880sausage fest you need to like and it's just it's not attracting it attracts families but families
03:28:36.140who are already 30 something and it's like yeah it's just it something needs to be done there
03:28:41.520that is like a problem they're like i see all these young guys a lot of them are like weird
03:28:45.080and i get it and they're cool like come on this is this is a problem this is you have a bunch of
03:28:50.920converts who are men and they have nothing to do they have no wife it's like especially if they're
03:28:58.000the types of young guys where it's like i don't want to have women around because that's cringe
03:29:02.160or girls are cringe you know like i'm not saying that that's what they do but i've heard guys
03:29:06.440say that like kind of like sort of that nick fuentes america first type thing it's like
03:29:11.180you have women around you have them around and um things uh things go down you can't you can't
03:29:18.720have women in the church i've said before who's got the clip you can't have women in the church
03:29:24.840that's just my nickname does impression but it's like pretty good yeah but you can't you know at
03:29:29.640a certain point if you're being serious we could all have fun we could all meme yes but if we're
03:29:35.120being serious for a second like okay we can't just have a bunch of dudes hanging around like and we
03:29:40.120knew that since time immemorial like we knew they go back to the fucking 1500s like look we just0.96
