00:01:15.380 movie but does it is it classified as a movie that you should see anyway you should i think

00:01:25.600 campy like it's campy in the same way that lawnmower man is but i think it's in the same
00:01:31.540 it's not as bad and it's also it's really well made like it's a i think it's a for its age it's
00:01:36.620 a great film it stands up i've watched it like 15 times just as it just to say you know to prove
00:01:41.940 it's i like it i like watching it there's a great bit where there there there's a bad guy is on an
00:01:47.780 oil tanker that's like his aircracker is an oiled oil tanker and the way that he checks the level
00:01:52.380 of the oil is there's this shriveled old man in a rowboat inside the oil tank and they like scream
00:01:58.660 down at him to read the number and he just lives in there oh my god and eventually when the at the
00:02:03.740 very end of the movie when the ship blows up and he sees the ball of fire coming towards him he's
00:02:08.700 like oh god finally hilarious and dark and the audience laughs yes yeah this little tortured man

00:02:57.760 like the little he got and it's not the thing is he does not even getting water he's getting the
00:03:02.180 little flavor packs so that when he comes to my place and i get him water he can put the flavor
00:03:06.160 pack in it like i would respect you more if you were just drinking monster all day dude yeah it's
00:03:11.640 just sugar and microplastics you don't need to carry that shit with you like it's yeah just the
00:03:15.880 process of you've got a glass of water and you open up the pouch it's a crystal light that's
00:03:21.800 what my mom would drink and it's like it's something that does it doesn't taste good like
00:03:25.720 i'd rather it's like drinking non-alcoholic beer see that was the whole thing like when i quit
00:03:30.120 drinking it's like well you can have like a virgin cocktail i don't want anything that reminds me
00:03:35.340 of how blackout i could be getting right now i i would rather forget about that whole thing
00:03:41.060 the thing that that i think is wild is i remember my my brother had these ones this was like 10
00:03:46.260 years ago when he started doing this he was still more than that he was in high school still and he
00:03:50.300 was doing this because he was already fat and he was drinking the ones that just taste like a 7-eleven
00:03:55.440 slurpee yeah and it's like sugar i'm like look i get it you've turned a cup of water into a slurpee
00:04:00.860 cool but then it's like well that's bad for you that's bad for you okay stop no i'm not gonna
00:04:05.920 stop i'm gonna get the diet one and it's got like aspartame well this this tastes like ass now

00:04:18.200 killing you this yeah this is cancer dude fuck it's cancer and it doesn't taste good it tastes
00:04:24.540 like you made it worse you're giving yourself the only type of cancer people don't feel bad
00:04:29.420 about you getting you treat water cancer jesus yeah this shit everything looks different later
00:04:38.800 in life looking back on this stuff for sure no me me getting older you know i used to think
00:04:44.500 when i was growing up i could be like the joker and only now in my 30s i realized that i'm
00:04:50.000 more tommy lee jones's two-face from batman forever one man is born a hero his brother a coward
00:04:59.400 baby starved politicians grown fat holy men are martyred and chuggies grow legion why why why why
00:05:10.080 Why, why?
00:05:12.820 Luck.
00:05:14.240 Blind, stupid, simple, do-da, clueless.
00:05:19.400 Luck.
00:05:22.440 Just, here's the thing.
00:05:24.160 If you haven't seen that movie, stop this and go watch it.
00:05:27.920 Go witness that landmark performance that he gave as Two-Face.
00:05:34.480 Tommy Lee Jones, one of America's top actors.
00:05:39.280 He's great.
00:05:39.660 hits after it's a serious man he's one of the most serious guys ever and they he just let himself
00:05:45.840 loose on that one chewing the scenery doing shit that just seems unscripted didn't make any sense
00:05:51.240 he's giddy you've never seen tommy lee jones giddy and you know it takes me back to you know every
00:05:59.400 other villain in the batman canon had a reason for being a villain even the riddler in that movie
00:06:06.400 he has no reason for doing what he's doing he's just robbing banks because he likes robbing banks
00:06:12.260 all of his capers make no fucking sense throughout that movie he's just fucking random and he's got
00:06:19.060 two bitches one is a smoking goth bitch and one is like a slutty angel and he's eating two dinners
00:06:27.080 two feasts and and he's just being being a preposterous man and that's me that's an
00:06:35.340 improvement to be honest i think i would take i would take that although i haven't seen it that
00:06:40.180 description of tommy lee jones over uh joker jack nicholson i'm gonna watch that later i just love
00:06:46.780 the walk all his guys got neon on their tommy guns his face got burned you know it's the whole
00:06:55.680 thing where he got half of his face burned by acid there's no reason he's got to have half of
00:07:00.040 a fucking tiger print suit have they got tom they all have tommy guns in that yeah what yeah
00:07:05.680 okay but that's the um wasn't it like the 80s well no because the batman forever like gotham
00:07:13.740 city is like a mishmash of times it's like dark city in that sense but you know the joel schumacher
00:07:19.020 ones gotham city in batman forever is actually kind of cool it's really vertical a lot of it
00:07:25.660 takes place in these tall towers you get a sense of like weird scale and um it's it's like a
00:07:31.720 combination of like old gangster shit and then random modern stuff so it's like he's like an
00:07:36.300 old gangster right and there's tommy guns with like neon stuff and there's these big ballrooms
00:07:41.100 and there's like gala events like it wouldn't make sense in the real world but it makes sense
00:07:46.600 there yeah yeah batman forever is actually a good movie it's got a valid cool i love batman
00:07:53.360 Sorry, I snuck in a movie corner right here at the top.
00:07:57.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:07:59.920 No!
00:08:01.640 My daughter, because she's adorable, my eldest, she always wants me to watch TV with her.
00:08:06.780 But I don't want to watch, you know, Strawberry Shortcake or whatever she's watching.
00:08:09.920 She's like, what do you want to watch, Daddy?
00:08:11.700 And she said, what do you watch?
00:08:12.960 I said, well, when I was your age, I watched Batman.
00:08:15.920 She said, do you want to come and watch?
00:08:17.100 And I shouldn't have said it, because now she's like, do you want to come and watch Batman?
00:08:19.500 Every time she comes in, she doesn't say, come and watch Strawberry Shortcake with me.
00:08:22.980 she says come with me we're watching batman like no i know you're not you're full of shit oh so
00:08:28.960 she's not actually doing it she's she's a liar she's a liar oh yeah she's she's a little liar
00:08:34.020 now so you've got uh you gave birth to a you gave birth to a girl liar never should have given birth
00:08:41.020 to her you know you were cursed with the hips to give birth to girl liars yeah because at first i
00:08:46.780 thought the story was like oh you're watching batman with your daughter now that's awesome
00:08:50.000 you know i did i did put on the first episode of batman the animated series and it's like
00:08:55.200 terrifying for a three-year-old it's like guys getting thrown out of windows and like the
00:09:00.620 silhouette of like them getting hit in the face and then blood spattering and she's like i want
00:09:05.080 i don't want to watch this everything that makes that show really cool for like an adolescent
00:09:09.200 guy yeah i was like sorry it's made for 12 year old boys yeah let me ask you this
00:09:15.260 and i might be revealing myself as a bad father here um because dimes child nickels what we're
00:09:23.220 calling him is just around six months old five and a half months and you know we do a lot of
00:09:31.700 driving around um taking him hither and yon and i realized i've never once listened to a children's
00:09:39.300 song in my car really he just listens to what i'm listening to really you'll get that you'll
00:09:45.200 get there not it's not six months is not the time for you'll you'll get there in a year and a half
00:09:49.000 probably is there a reality that i can inhabit where i just don't listen to wheels on the bus
00:09:55.920 again and again i just keep listening to bones we got we went through a period of only three to
00:10:01.480 four months where the only way to console them on long trips was to listen to their music now we
00:10:06.540 found mixes that we can tolerate that they like like there's some like dream pop indie indie pop
00:10:14.180 mixes and stuff that they actually like
00:10:16.020 like beach fossils
00:10:17.760 you know beach fossils yeah so I gotta do
00:10:20.020 to the kids what I did with my wife
00:10:21.740 yeah you gotta like tiptoe them
00:10:23.980 into good music yeah
00:10:25.620 I didn't get her to Matthew Good right
00:10:28.120 away
00:10:28.500 you start with Matthew Decent
00:10:31.840 and then work out
00:10:32.580 you start with Matthew
00:10:35.920 so-so
00:10:36.600 then you go to Matthew
00:10:39.800 alright
00:10:40.320 it is
00:10:43.220 Some people stay at Matthew All Right just because of the vibe.
00:10:47.820 The water's fine at Matthew All Right.
00:10:51.480 It is a man's day's walk up to Matthew Goode from there.
00:10:55.560 Yeah, it is.
00:10:57.060 We're getting sidetracked.
00:10:59.020 There's something that I learned about just before the show.
00:11:02.220 First of all, our show got accused of not being crunchy enough.
00:11:10.080 So I'm packing a lot in here.
00:11:12.720 you're getting good stuff this is a classic insecure episode
00:11:17.000 someone's someone who liked the show said oh it's not crunchy enough first of all don't know
00:11:24.000 what that fucking means second of all this isn't caribbean rhythms if you want caribbean rhythms
00:11:28.460 with that go listen to caribbean rhythms with bap we got a crunchy fucking show first of all
00:11:33.760 what did you learn before the show you were saying judas oh me went to a feed and seed
00:11:41.880 i you know okay so i'm being a little facetious i call it the feed and see but i'm talking about
00:11:49.120 pv mart you know pv mart yes the guys out west will know pv i think because i'm pretty sure it's
00:11:55.100 a saskatchewan or alberta thing but yeah it's it's it's technically a feed and see like you
00:11:59.580 can buy cattle feeders and whatever the fuck there but i mean they also have a hardware store
00:12:04.900 and they have snacks and clothing and i've bought stuff for for fishing there and i it's a night i
00:12:11.160 like it and like when i'm gonna go to walmart i would i go to pv instead first and if they don't
00:12:16.060 have it i go to walmart so you didn't encounter any problems getting in there because if i can
00:12:20.720 just say this and i'm gonna say this and you just have to sit with it shit technically you are a
00:12:27.600 city slicker you're he was getting shit not that long ago you're talking to some real rural guys
00:12:34.180 they're dunking on you because you live near a main you're in within screaming distance of a
00:12:39.780 road which qualifies you as urban yeah yeah even this the fight i got in with some guys on uh on
00:12:47.520 facebook about a thing i talked about earlier traffic infraction and they without knowing who
00:12:52.300 i was or where i was from because they didn't know who i was and they just say oh looks like
00:12:56.680 another case of a newcomer to town x fucking with the old boys from town x i'm like you i'm the old
00:13:04.060 boy here motherfucker i'm the one i grew up and i've had a big fight with him but like it's
00:13:09.080 hilarious there's such an attitude of you're you use fucking city slickers i don't like how you
00:13:15.020 could be and again maybe this is a city slickers opinion i don't think you should be like a 16
00:13:23.460 year old old boy because everyone says like oh you're like a 21 year old you're one of the old
00:13:28.240 boys these fucking guys who are younger than me this guy i was arguing with i looked at his profile
00:13:33.240 he's like 23 and has all these like tribal tattoos and he's like a bmx guy and he like he's the old
00:13:39.780 boy what the fuck are you talking about i had my g life when you were in public school the fuck i
00:13:45.720 was like oh god damn it i was delivering pizzas to your fucking mom okay so all these old boys
00:13:51.360 on fucking facebook going i will die for oliver anthony but you know what i i get i get pissed
00:14:00.480 about it sometimes in the chat or talking to people because i know that the whole thing that
00:14:04.840 people who know me lately over the past 15 years has been oh he's from hong kong he's an urban guy
00:14:10.300 but you don't know people who know me in hong kong and don't know me as racist podcast guy
00:14:15.400 know me as he's that dumb fucking yokel who knows how to do that trade skill thing that we hire
00:14:21.120 and the only reason this dumb yokel canadian is here is because he's the only guy in the city who
00:14:25.800 does that fucking trade skill thing so i can't be both give me a break i i don't think you get
00:14:32.500 enough sympathy for being over there and being inbred hick then coming back here and your
00:14:39.600 chinese bug man i know right it's not fucking fair i see you can't win you can't catch a break
00:14:46.140 me i've stayed the same in your in your high tower yeah my opinions my opinions change
00:14:57.080 constantly my principles stay the same a lot of people don't know this our principles you and me
00:15:03.280 are very very close and it's those principles that make us non-visible to the feds everyone's
00:15:10.160 It's like, oh, why aren't these guys arrested?
00:15:12.060 Oh, why aren't these guys rolled up?
00:15:15.100 It's very simple that our true, blue, honest-to-goodness opinions
00:15:20.260 sound schizophrenic.
00:15:24.140 Like, if you get us in a room,
00:15:25.940 if we've got the heat lamps on us in a smoky room,
00:15:30.520 what do you believe?
00:15:34.140 Billions must die.
00:15:36.680 And that's not even, right?
00:15:37.860 like there's gonna be a lot of white people i think need to die too like they will look at them
00:15:41.000 okay well this i don't know what to do with this that sounds fantastical i'm like yeah
00:15:45.860 my political beliefs are something like warhammer 40k it's analogous to something insane you half
00:15:54.000 remember right like you say solve the housing crisis by burning more houses yes yeah a lot of
00:15:59.700 people didn't think you were serious he's very serious straight fucking serious yeah and they're
00:16:05.400 Like, oh, you mean burn your house down?
00:16:06.980 Maybe.
00:16:08.100 Sure.
00:16:09.100 I'll lead by example.
00:16:11.460 Ask me today, ask me tomorrow.
00:16:12.840 Shit in your mouth.
00:16:14.120 I ain't scared of you motherfuckers.
00:16:16.580 Oh, you're going to threaten the Fed?
00:16:18.040 I will threaten anyone.
00:16:19.180 And here's the thing about my threats.
00:16:21.240 They are non-actionable.
00:16:24.340 That's how you get away with it.
00:16:25.500 Start issuing Mortal Kombat fatalities.
00:16:29.560 You are the king of the hill.
00:16:31.360 You can get away with anything if what you're getting away with is impossible.
00:16:37.000 We're both broadcasting from our wheelchairs, by the way.
00:16:39.460 So this is why it's non-actionable.
00:16:42.460 Moving on.
00:16:42.980 Is this crunchy enough for you?
00:16:44.880 You motherfuckers.
00:16:47.340 I got one for you.
00:16:48.500 I had a take that I was brewing on and I teased it out to people and I got my hand slapped.
00:16:57.880 So hear about this Lauren Boebert.
00:17:01.360 business oh yeah so yeah i don't really follow this very much before bobert was ejected for
00:17:09.380 causing a disturbance at the show but thanks to the high quality cameras there in that theater
00:17:15.080 bobert had to change her tune and apologize after surveillance video revealed that she was indeed
00:17:21.100 vaping as well as she and her companion explicitly groping each other repeatedly while they were in
00:17:28.820 their seats so i i see some bitch you know politics bitch she's the situation was very
00:17:39.120 amusing me because she's in a theater getting felt up she's got the sluttiest dress you've
00:17:47.860 ever seen on getting molested by the guy she's with and the and she's a republican congress
00:17:55.060 thing and everyone's like a lot of the right were jumping down her throat saying this is not
00:18:02.580 behavior becoming of a grandmother go to horny jail no
00:18:08.940 and this is not becoming of a republican not becoming of a christian that's how you behave
00:18:15.560 you get horny outside of your house and my reaction to this was complete ambivalence
00:18:23.680 i didn't give a shit i don't really care about her i just saw what at the time what i thought
00:18:30.040 was a husband and wife getting a little frisky in a darkened theater watching some show uh watching
00:18:38.660 i think it was beetlejuice or something and then he's grabbing on her bazongas and she's uh rubbing
00:18:45.220 on his his hog and i'm like you know that's what married old married people they do that
00:18:50.940 In a darkened theater, ooh.
00:18:53.360 That's something weird old people do.
00:18:54.940 They're being bad.
00:18:56.200 Sounds like somebody's jealous.
00:18:58.220 Yeah, it sounds like someone's not getting their titties felt up in the theater.
00:19:00.940 Yeah, so it's like a whole lot of journalists,
00:19:02.440 which they were having a slap at Boebert's yams.
00:19:06.200 Yeah, you know, if your tits don't get rubbed, they get hard.
00:19:09.480 So a lot of pyramid tits.
00:19:11.200 Yep, that's right.
00:19:11.920 Use it or lose it.
00:19:12.860 Use it or lose it.
00:19:13.660 That's what they say.
00:19:14.700 I've been saying use it or lose it.
00:19:16.920 No one's fucking believing it.
00:19:18.420 and then i learned that people are kind of coming at me like okay hold up dimes that was not her
00:19:26.100 husband she that was some guy that she's with because she divorced her husband then she's in
00:19:33.780 the news saying that oh the only reason he was grabbing my tits was because he's a democrat
00:19:38.440 and i'm not going to see him anymore because of that and at the end of this did she say that
00:19:45.500 did she say that oh no ultimately all future date nights have been canceled and i learned to check
00:19:53.500 party affiliations uh before you go on a date uh but all in all um you know it was uh
00:19:59.540 it was mostly a lovely time at the end of all this i throw i i can't keep this whole shit straight
00:20:07.980 i actually don't know where i land on this anymore i dislike everyone involved in this
00:20:14.180 by the end of it i'll tell you what i hadn't heard that last bit but my whole thing had been
00:20:26.260 a few weeks ago when i was tearing into bobert i was just using her as an example
00:20:30.420 at the time i thought she was a bit of a whore and i really kind of dug in on her and i afterwards
00:20:36.300 i was thinking damn i really hope she is a dumb whore because otherwise i'm gonna look stupid no
00:20:40.900 i'm vindicated she is a stupid fucking whore she really just is and look most a lot of women are
00:20:46.880 most women are so that's okay it's just she just shouldn't be a congresswoman and she really
00:20:50.760 shouldn't be on television because she's just she's a common she's a common whore let's also
00:20:56.000 stay this for the record every woman is a dumb whore if not for their husbands right my wife is
00:21:02.620 an amazing woman i met her pretty young i met her you know if she was just left to her on devices
00:21:06.620 who know where she'd end up.
00:21:08.080 Probably a dumb whore.
00:21:09.400 Yeah.
00:21:10.560 Every guy left his own devices
00:21:12.420 becomes Travis Bickle, ultimately.
00:21:14.940 Yeah.
00:21:16.340 It's just whether or not you do it for Israel.
00:21:20.280 Hold on, so unmarried men become Travis Bickle.
00:21:23.800 Married men become Travis Bickle for Israel?
00:21:26.620 No, that's actually not what I said at all.
00:21:29.980 But I like that's a funny one.
00:21:32.560 If you're married, you're doomed to kill for Israel.
00:21:36.620 Like, I read this tweet.
00:21:37.640 This was from Howard Stern.
00:21:41.000 Speaking of Israel, Howard Stern says,
00:21:44.220 Boebert is a disgrace to this country.
00:21:46.640 She's in a titty dress, obviously vaping,
00:21:49.360 but also it looks like she's grabbing his penis during Beetlejuice.
00:21:53.520 Yeah.
00:21:53.760 Now, to me, just reading that,
00:21:55.200 that sounded like a certified gal's rock moment.
00:22:03.240 It does.
00:22:04.080 It does.
00:22:04.440 it's also funny coming from from uh from stern who's like a goat demon in human skin talking
00:22:10.540 about he says vaping obviously obviously vaping it's like he's clutching his pearls that she's
00:22:16.400 vaping in a theater of all of the shit that she's done and all the shit he's done here he is being
00:22:21.740 like can you believe she's vaping in a theater my god i think it was prudentialist on twitter
00:22:29.880 I can't find this tweet, but he says, Howard Stern represents the entire spectrum of Jewish identity.
00:22:37.120 Like he does the degeneracy thing when he's young and he's aged into being like how they all become like an old Jewish lady.
00:22:44.180 Yeah.
00:22:44.380 Every Jew, regardless of gender, becomes an old Jewish lady.
00:22:47.920 Yeah.
00:22:48.540 Bill Maher.
00:22:49.140 He's like, oh, God.
00:22:50.140 And he's a hypochondriac.
00:22:51.840 He never leaves his house, apparently.
00:22:54.120 He's just this weird, old, creepy guy just complaining about things.
00:22:59.180 but i think she is a dumb whore i we've been clear on the show we're not anti-dumb whore
00:23:06.340 we're one of the few podcasts don't want them in government we want them in they want to corral
00:23:11.820 them that's all here here's the counterpoint yes i want them in government because i don't
00:23:17.660 respect i don't respect the government i don't respect congress it's accelerationism you think
00:23:22.040 congress and the senate should be entirely dumb horse we want president kamala and ag kamala and
00:23:28.960 we want we want kamala everywhere yeah i think they should put tang in the fucking reservoir
00:23:34.460 and they don't get water anymore they just get tang and then also i'm trying to think which
00:23:39.520 which congresswoman's last name is tang i was thinking as you said that like why are you
00:23:44.260 putting her in the reservoir i'm just putting this bitch in the water supply
00:23:48.520 give her enough lsd then put her in the water supply the best way to spike the best way to
00:23:57.400 spike water supplies to spike a person
00:23:59.840 and throw them in.
00:24:01.320 It's like our version of MKUltra
00:24:03.580 is just throwing women in the water supply
00:24:05.400 and closing the lid.
00:24:06.800 Our version of MKUltra is me having a great time
00:24:09.520 and going for a swim.
00:24:14.020 Hey, you guys want to do MKUltra this weekend?
00:24:16.720 Yeah, we're going to the lake.
00:24:18.300 What? Yeah, we're just going for a swim.
00:24:20.180 We're doing a bunch of mushrooms and going to the beach.
00:24:22.760 Just not understanding how anything works.
00:24:24.840 but yeah like i think i think everyone should be on drugs uh in congress and they should all have
00:24:31.400 guns i don't like once you again if you believe there's no real or if you either believe there's
00:24:37.680 no political solution and you're an accelerationist boom here you go or if you're an american patriot
00:24:43.840 or a british patriot this is how politics used to be everyone was up was drunk and on coke oh yeah
00:24:50.700 oh yeah like this is a very narrow historical period we're in right now people aren't just
00:24:58.320 fucked up all the time like the old old democratic you know meetings man congresses and they had all
00:25:06.260 these guys in their wigs screaming and they're all drunk they didn't get more civilized they
00:25:11.440 found a way to turn it up to 11 by adding women and foreigners to the mix now they don't even
00:25:17.440 have to get drunk because it's a shit show just as soon as the lights come on that's genius
00:25:21.980 you know what i saw before we move on i wanted to mention this i saw a video it was passed to me
00:25:28.840 uh by one of our friends bleeding holograms friend of the show and uh he found a video
00:25:35.440 on youtube that mentions us name drops blood satellite very kindly um it's by this channel
00:25:43.340 lower world diaries and uh he didn't time stamp it so i actually had to watch the whole god dang
00:25:52.080 thing right nice 17 minutes and it's actually quite good the video is called freeze and it's
00:25:59.500 sort of like a video essay he's he's reading it i kind of like the visuals he's got going on with
00:26:04.200 it too um but i actually found the topic really interesting and we only get like a mention near
00:26:10.340 the end it's just like oh as blood satellite has said but he was talking about i encourage people
00:26:19.300 to watch it but it started off by mentioning you remember that guy mizzy over in england that black
00:26:26.740 kid that was running all those pranks on people usually yeah yeah the phenomena of white people
00:26:31.940 being confronted by you know hostile minorities and freezing the depth to which this demoralization
00:26:39.860 has penetrated the Western mind is shocking. The primal layer of threat response has been
00:26:46.020 accessed through an insidious mundanity characteristic of the therapeutic state.
00:26:52.020 This synthesis of mundanity and totality is what ensures the freeze response.
00:26:58.100 It resembles the panic attack, a sensation of being surrounded by an invisible threat
00:27:03.220 from which one cannot retreat because it is everywhere.
00:27:05.940 bit by bit however the subtle fear of social exclusion has been eclipsed by an increasingly
00:27:12.580 credible undercurrent of violence the gnawing anxiety is ratcheted up at a plausibly deniable
00:27:18.980 rate until fight or flight is basically inconceivable for the average citizen who loses
00:27:23.780 the ability to act he had made this connection that i never occurred to me but it's so obvious
00:27:30.100 now and it's kind of a technological one but it was it was likening it to the rise of prank shows
00:27:36.700 and he's describing how you know back in he's uh from the uk i believe and he's talking about how
00:27:42.660 you know the prank shows when he were young he was in the prank show he was confronted by someone
00:27:46.560 who was like doing a silly prank on the street and how that was a relatively new thing once you
00:27:53.620 know you don't really see pranks much anymore but i guess that's kind of the point which is that
00:27:58.100 you're in public and you've got like a camera in your face and you're made to look silly and he
00:28:04.760 had made a point and i'm paraphrasing here i hope i'm doing it just that this is sort of symptomatic
00:28:09.060 of the down like the discombobulation of a high trust society now you don't trust going outside
00:28:16.840 someone's gonna fuck with you someone's gonna put a camera in your face and he was mainly remarking
00:28:22.800 just on the phenomenon that is only done by white people which is we become so traumatized by this
00:28:29.180 society that when a camera is like presented to our face or we feel like we're on camera we can
00:28:34.280 only freeze because we've understood like a we don't want to look silly the last thing you want
00:28:38.940 to do is like look silly on camera and everyone's making fun of you but that's the best outcome the
00:28:42.900 second outcome is you defend yourself to someone who is pranking you or doing whatever the fuck
00:28:47.560 and maybe your life is ruined but he was just summarizing this thing that i hadn't really
00:28:54.120 heard put to words before or shown the entire timeline of but there is something that i think
00:29:00.460 is historic very historically unique to our lived experience which is like not only is it a low
00:29:05.840 trust society it's like we've been so brainwashed that we actually we don't we can't react to things
00:29:14.180 we can't react to things that are even being perceived as threats and he's using like again
00:29:19.940 the these black individuals who are racially targeting white people because it's only white
00:29:23.700 people that do the freeze thing i think but that's something you see if you watch these videos like
00:29:28.220 they don't know what the fuck to do especially women right anyway i what do you think about that
00:29:32.860 we don't have we have this i think it really okay i've seen asians do it too but it is largely
00:29:39.320 it's like you being raised in a society where like i guess a high trust society where you kind
00:29:44.940 of expect things to act in a certain way and when something is out of line you don't you you're like
00:29:50.880 a deer in the headlights and you you kind of have to stand and process it which is to say you're
00:29:55.020 comfortable just sitting there and processing it absolutely defenseless and then you know these
00:30:02.380 other groups don't do that because they're used to living in a world that's constant chaos and
00:30:07.080 violence so not i mean they don't freeze because they never expect that there's a moment where they
00:30:13.340 could safely do it i guess i don't know yeah and uh people will say oh that's just everyone living
00:30:19.440 in the panopticon of the modern world but i i do think it's more pronounced with certain groups
00:30:26.580 like i think it is something white people they've been taught to fear it more than others that's my
00:30:32.980 feeling so i'd recommend people go watch that i'm i'm a fan now and this is just let everyone else
00:30:40.220 know if you give us a positive shout out that is a fast track to getting mentioned on the show
00:30:45.480 i've actually i i just pulled him up i actually subscribed to him a while back i've watched most
00:30:50.700 of his videos it is actually good stuff lower world barriers old judas keeping the good stuff
00:30:55.560 to himself again i wonder if somebody had mentioned it because i don't like cruise youtube a lot i
00:31:02.320 think somebody might have sent a link one time in the chat i don't recall there's one story that i
00:31:06.900 did want to cover and i don't i'm still trying to figure out what i make of it so there's two
00:31:11.800 big stories that emerged recently and they're both related one was danny masterson getting
00:31:20.580 30 years in prison for some alleged sexual misconduct or rapes that occurred back in 2001
00:31:29.320 I believe. Before a sentence was handed down yesterday the court heard from the victims and
00:31:36.280 they talked about the trauma that they endured and the way they continue to suffer. Now Masterson
00:31:42.600 reportedly did not react in the courtroom during this. Now during this trial the actor was accused
00:31:49.240 of raping three women. The jury found him guilty of two of those counts and the attacks that
00:31:55.960 occurred in the actor's home took place in the early 2000s the victims say that they were
00:32:02.760 discouraged from reporting the crimes afterwards by the church of scientology officials masterson
00:32:09.960 is a scientologist and at the time so were the women in a statement the church of scientology
00:32:16.360 said it had no policy that would discourage members from going to police and said there was
00:32:21.480 was no evidence to support that the women were harassed uh danny mastron scientologist actor
00:32:28.200 in that 70s show he played the character of hyde as far as i know hasn't done much else he was in
00:32:33.340 that show the ranch with ashton kutcher i never watched that but apparently it's big um and so
00:32:39.640 30 years the moment he was uh convicted wife divorced him wife divorced him and also said
00:32:48.100 she was seeking spousal support from him i'm not sure how that's supposed to work but that is cold
00:32:53.840 as ice is cold as ice to divorce a man as he's going to prison and then say you still just expect
00:33:00.620 child support payments and alimony did he got 30 years i heard about the trial i didn't know he
00:33:06.660 was sentenced already 30 years 30 years for and there's a lot that's dubious about the case i
00:33:12.660 didn't know you could even imprison a member of the church of scientology i thought like they're
00:33:17.260 they're invincible this is the story so i was doing some reading on it just over the course
00:33:23.640 of the week trying to figure out what's going on because you see that story and it sounds
00:33:27.600 over the top and then some people were saying well the main problem is that this is really
00:33:33.660 scientology on trial and part of the case that the women were bringing forward was that
00:33:37.900 they had brought when you're in scientology the claim is that you're encouraged not to go to the
00:33:44.060 police you're supposed to handle everything internally okay so they go to the church
00:33:49.140 authorities and they encourage them to retract their statements or this is their claim right
00:33:54.880 but saying that the church of scientology silenced them then they leave the church
00:33:59.460 then they pursue danny masterson so how credible is that we're not sure this could also be them
00:34:06.940 trying to take a swipe at the church because they're anti-scientology people now right it's
00:34:12.900 It could be also that they've coordinated their story before, which they have.
00:34:16.260 There's evidence that they were getting their story straight and trying to collect other supposed victims to make a class action lawsuit, in a sense, and take him to civil court first.
00:34:31.100 They're also suing him in civil court.
00:34:32.820 It just seems like a strange thing to do.
00:34:35.880 That's one thing.
00:34:36.580 uh the other thing is that like i said scientology on trial they think that was like
00:34:42.440 the judge trying to make a point because as i was reading the way scientology has gotten away
00:34:50.080 with this in the past is most of its stuff never ends up in front of a judge like this
00:34:55.760 it all goes into civil court of some kind and then the the lawyers have always been able to claim
00:35:01.340 that whatever happens in the church,
00:35:04.120 you have no jurisdiction there.
00:35:06.280 It actually doesn't matter
00:35:07.620 what we tell people in the church.
00:35:10.180 You know, it's not illegal
00:35:11.100 for us to tell people that
00:35:12.240 and you're infringing
00:35:13.240 our religious freedom
00:35:13.920 and that's worked up until this point
00:35:16.560 because I think the idea
00:35:18.700 is that this one's so severe.
00:35:20.280 So in a sense, you could say
00:35:21.920 maybe they're making an example
00:35:23.920 out of them
00:35:24.480 for the Church of Scientology.
00:35:27.500 What do you think about that?
00:35:28.960 I think that might be what's going on
00:35:30.640 Because they also claim like, oh, he drugged and then raped this woman, you know, all that, all those years ago.
00:35:37.940 Maybe, maybe not.
00:35:39.040 I'm not sure.
00:35:39.680 You know, my policy on the show has always been disbelieve women.
00:35:44.960 Yeah, generally.
00:35:46.620 Rant again, I'm not going to believe women.
00:35:48.360 It's unfortunate that it's turned out this way because I'm sure there's all kind of women that deserve to be believed.
00:35:53.600 Just like I figure 100 years ago, there were probably gays that deserve to not be thrown in a pit.
00:35:57.760 but they've been propped up to such a point in the legal system and in the culture that
00:36:02.780 you pretty much look they'd be chumps not to play games with it like you as soon as you get that
00:36:09.020 many women in a in a case within 48 hours they've all called each other and adjusted their story
00:36:15.600 and everybody secretly wants them to do that you know so like you have to know that they're almost
00:36:20.740 certainly doing that you'd have to be able to prove that they're not which you can't so they're
00:36:24.920 doing it fuck them and look i don't even i'm sure this guy's a fucking scumbag he's he's a
00:36:29.940 scientologist i mean fuck him but also women i don't know there's this paragraph at the end of
00:36:36.860 the la times article i got pulled up here and it's a quote from someone uh it says the fact
00:36:44.600 that it's danny masterson from that 70s show it's not just local media reporting on a local case it
00:36:50.160 blows up way bigger it becomes part of bill cosby and harvey weinstein uh referring to the me too
00:36:56.980 movement which identified several celebrities as sexual predators and that just struck out of me
00:37:01.720 because the hashtag me too movement has been going on it feels like for like seven to ten years how
00:37:08.580 long has it been going on for like a long time right at least 10 years yeah i think they've only
00:37:13.320 they they're they're still really riding on harvey weinstein who was like the first guy and he's in
00:37:18.520 prison now any yeah they haven't gotten anyone since then as far as i'm concerned bill cosby
00:37:23.940 is like an edge case where he was like openly raping for a long time and then those chickens
00:37:29.240 just came home yeah yeah yeah yeah that was that was a that was a gimme that was gimme really yeah
00:37:35.280 he he openly drugged and raped 70 women like something like a serial rapist that's the sort
00:37:40.860 of thing like you could have had you got it you could have had a a believe men movement going on
00:37:46.200 and he still would have gone to prison yeah yeah that was but i'm like you guys really haven't
00:37:51.380 gotten anyone else and that's what led me to the next thing which was that i was looking at the
00:37:57.800 me too movement as we know it and it doesn't have a lot of wins and in my experience me too has been
00:38:05.620 treated as a joke in the culture for quite some time uh for many many years in my experience like
00:38:11.660 me too like the phrase was you're going to get me too and you roll your eyes like me too was
00:38:17.760 understood to just be women running their mouth for a long time and the implication that oh if
00:38:24.160 you say something wrong you'll get me too which was undercutting the entire movement right but
00:38:30.980 i had that on one hand on one hand me too isn't taken seriously by most people on the other hand
00:38:39.400 this stuff still seems to happen they can have these like really like this this case is an odd
00:38:45.080 one because it does seem like it's scientology on trial but if it's like it's a sexual misconduct
00:38:50.100 thing from 2001 and there's all kinds of impropriety going on there's all kinds of
00:38:55.420 things that make it suspicious kind of like the gian gameshi thing like 30 years that that's insane
00:39:01.240 it's fucking he's gonna die in prison yeah yeah for sure and that's because of me too so like it
00:39:07.940 still has this social capital so that's why i don't want to be out here like oh who gives a
00:39:12.740 fuck about me too anymore it's still being used to like destroy guys guys who are dubiously guilty
00:39:20.020 you know what i mean especially like to me if you're once a rapist always a rapist like if
00:39:27.180 you've raped two people from like 20 years ago and there's no rape since then odds are you weren't a
00:39:33.920 rapist because real real rapists never stop right yeah of course they never they don't hang up your
00:39:41.120 spurs it's not incidental you know it's a way of life the other thing the other thing that we're
00:39:46.620 actually saying if you think about it is if you only raped a couple of times and you do stop
00:39:51.080 like you give it up you're kind of a tourist you weren't really ever a rapist were you
00:39:55.580 you were just you just a guy who raped you're not a rapist you just you were there for the
00:40:01.340 you were there i don't know sorry yeah um you get nothing and like here's one thing from the um
00:40:09.640 the la times article while cross-examining one woman and here's one thing there's like three
00:40:15.300 women and one of them was proven to be a liar but the judge allowed that woman's testimony to
00:40:22.100 be used in the actual trial like strange things like that things like things were allowed that
00:40:26.520 shouldn't be allowed it's like while cross-examining one woman the lawyer read from an quote ow write
00:40:32.680 up and suggested the church document accounted to an admission by the woman that her encounter
00:40:37.380 with masterson had been consent consensual she fired back the document had been written by church
00:40:42.300 officials who took comments she'd made to a scientology council out of context so like that's
00:40:47.940 a document says well she and she's admitting that she said that you know i mean it's like
00:40:52.400 yeah you said it was consensual you're taking the thing i said out of context well did you say
00:40:56.760 it was consensual or not because here's here's are you denying this is your statement yeah you
00:41:04.720 like create and then 30 years fuck that yeah like i don't i so this is something else but the other
00:41:10.620 thing was russell brand i was like oh my god he raped me four women have come forward with claims
00:41:20.080 of attacks and abuse between 2006 and 2013.
00:41:24.080 I was like, you're like my little dolly.
00:41:25.680 One says she was just 16 when she was sexually assaulted.
00:41:29.360 Claims published in the U.K. by The Times, The Sunday Times, and the Channel 4 Broadcaster
00:41:35.040 as part of a joint investigation, CBC News has not independently verified the claims.
00:41:40.880 To protect identities, actors were hired to share some of the women's stories.
00:41:45.360 They pushed me up against the wall. I'm like, what are you doing?
00:41:49.760 i'm telling him to get off me and he won't get off what i seriously refute are these very very
00:41:56.080 serious criminal allegations brand adamantly denied any wrongdoing in a video posted on social media
00:42:04.720 i i didn't catch the details on this but i just don't care because i never liked russell brand i
00:42:08.720 always thought of him as a grifter because he just hops around to every every controversial
00:42:12.560 issue that he could find and currently he is he's been a darling of like the center right for a few
00:42:18.960 years but he's just a fag like he's a loser and i hope he goes to prison so i don't care
00:42:23.560 yeah like he kind of came up with jordan peterson is my recollection as yeah and joe rogan as a sort
00:42:30.660 of like alternative medicine free speech you know i i'm anti yeah i'm anti-authoritarian that's what
00:42:39.300 he would say um but he's anti-authoritarian joe rogan is stupid but at least he's a fighter
00:42:45.300 like this guy's like what is he an actor he's just a gay a weird gay i know he's not gay but
00:42:50.820 he's a fucking faggot like just look at his yeah well he's not far off so i get this was
00:42:55.260 where my position was which is that on one hand i'm happy that this is happening because
00:43:01.400 i don't really like him and he's the type of guy who would be drinking wine out of a skull
00:43:08.480 and going to acid orgies like he's a hedonist he's all like a alistair crowley type guy yeah
00:43:15.380 walking around dressed like captain jack sparrow and and flouncing about and so part of me i'm
00:43:23.000 like you know it was inevitable and i hate to sound callous but i'm surprised it took this long
00:43:29.120 because he made his bones you know not only having lots and lots of sex with random women but also
00:43:37.260 pushing the boundaries i'm like yeah there's no question you fucked a 16 year old of course you
00:43:42.120 did yeah of course there's probably no question that you fucked like a 14 year old that looked
00:43:47.460 15 like you're the type of guy who would do that so on end i'm not i'm surprised it didn't happen
00:43:54.240 sooner yeah on the other hand i'm noticing some things about this well i think we can
00:44:02.040 justifiably call it cancellation um i'm looking at a um because he lost like he got demonetized
00:44:09.720 from youtube right away strange things started happening like he got accused and they start
00:44:14.400 taking his money right away go after your money um so they got demonetized from youtube he got
00:44:22.200 dropped by his agency dropped by the bbc his image was scrubbed from all these sites and whatnot
00:44:28.220 typical things that happen but i'm looking at a document here from the um the house of commons
00:44:38.060 culture media and sport committee written to uh theo dr theo bertram um this is in short i'm
00:44:48.300 gonna read a part here but what this is it's a a memorandum issued by the uk government
00:44:54.620 recommending that russell brand you know get stripped of his monetization from other social
00:45:00.860 media platforms and there's a highlighted part here from um who's this individual dame caroline
00:45:09.180 it's an english name i shouldn't have this but whatever some fucking dame the chair of the
00:45:18.480 culture media and sport committee here's the highlight part while we recognize that tiktok
00:45:22.880 is not the creator of the content published by mr brand and his content may be within the community
00:45:28.680 guidelines set out by the platform we are concerned that he may be able to profit from
00:45:34.320 his content on the platform so once again this is the uk government advocating to a private
00:45:41.940 corporation that one of their citizens lose their money simply for an accusation
00:45:48.460 that that bloat that nothing's i haven't had my fucking mind blown like i don't know something
00:45:54.620 about don't they need an injunction or a court order or something to be able to
00:45:58.260 like if they wanted to say you know as part of the settlement in court we're going to garnish
00:46:03.280 your wages or we're going to fine you okay like if they're going to say hey uh as part of the
00:46:08.580 settlement we now take 30 of the profits from your company for the next 30 years okay cool
00:46:14.280 but like unless that was in the in the court order how does and the trial the trial's not
00:46:20.780 even done yet how can the government then go outside of this publicly in the media and say
00:46:27.800 we want all of you to cut off his money like how that's wild i would like look he's a guy he's a
00:46:35.220 moneyed guy as much as i hate him i think it'd be neat to see him sue the government you know let's
00:46:40.480 let's have another let's have another case they can't do that if you let them get away with that
00:46:44.120 that's a crazy precedent isn't it well and this is this is the precedent being set the precedent
00:46:49.440 being set is that there is no precedent being set in the sense that nothing official is really
00:46:56.260 happening all all that happened was a letter was sent it was official letter it was a official
00:47:00.440 letter by a government official but he's not in court it was just someone politely pressuring
00:47:06.740 oh right right and that's the that's therein lies the thing so and like you had said russell
00:47:11.960 there's the rub a well-moneyed individual well what how how easy would it to be if we weren't
00:47:17.940 well-moneyed let's just say you are a canadian podcaster and they said hey do do me a favor
00:47:24.760 make it so they can never make money on e-commerce ever again go go to and this is the we've often
00:47:32.140 said, and I say this as frequently as I can to people, the newest frontier for people like us
00:47:39.800 is debanking. And we've covered it and we talked with Jeremy McKenzie, who's going through this
00:47:45.240 right now. Getting debanked, meaning you lose access to your financial institution and most
00:47:51.120 likely every other financial institution, especially in Canada where the financial
00:47:55.820 institutions are so tightly knit and in concert with the government. If you lose your access to
00:48:01.760 your bank account you're kind of fucked you're fucked professionally now if you're a dissident
00:48:05.480 minded person and you got parallel stuff set up and you're big into credit unions and whatnot
00:48:10.500 maybe you can make something work but for most people losing your bank account or losing access
00:48:16.180 to credit cards your life is thrown into turmoil and the problem is that most conservatives won't
00:48:23.100 recognize this as an issue because a lot of libertarians might not either because they'll
00:48:28.100 say oh it's just a private company a private company is allowed to make whatever business
00:48:31.880 they want with whoever they want so it doesn't read to a lot of the mainstream right as such an
00:48:37.020 egregious act and such a weapon that can be utilized very very quickly against targeted
00:48:44.280 individuals and it could and this is just one form this is why i bring it up that oh they don't even
00:48:49.620 need to make it official you could just have someone an mp if you're canada message master
00:48:55.580 card and say you know what it'd be great if you if you could take a stand against bigotry
00:49:00.120 some bullshit right and then that that doesn't even make a mark on the mainstream news and now
00:49:05.780 you're just and they don't need to explain themselves it's just a thing that happened
00:49:08.700 and and again this is all maybe i'm trying to reconcile the fact that no one makes no one
00:49:15.620 takes the me too movement seriously however it is still wielded like it does like in the case of
00:49:21.640 danny masterson maybe these women were just trying to take a swipe at the church of scientology
00:49:27.120 and using me too as as a way to do that and also the judge is trying to make an example
00:49:33.300 of scientology but because you're so frustrated that they've gotten away for so long similarly
00:49:39.120 it's being used here like and some people are saying that you know russell brand's being targeted
00:49:43.100 because he's an anti-vax guy maybe you know there could be lots of reasons he's targeted you know
00:49:49.420 he's been at one of these covid guys who are like you know against the vaccine and everything so hey
00:49:55.460 maybe i don't know but it does seem coordinated in a financial sense and that's what gives me
00:50:03.620 pause what do you think about all that yeah it absolutely does there's i don't i can't put my
00:50:09.640 finger on it either i think all those theories are are reasonable certainly we don't know why
00:50:15.020 but it is obvious that this is not a run-of-the-mill rape case yeah and let me see what he's even being
00:50:23.060 accused of it's because i'm seeing all the stories come out like they're throwing everything they can
00:50:27.300 and russell brand and i don't like russell brand particularly um he might be nice to talk to like
00:50:33.520 i don't like his ideology we might be able to get along in a room oh yeah although i've seen him act
00:50:40.800 very insufferably to like peter hitchens and other people who i like i don't want to like
00:50:45.600 beat him up or anything i don't like hate him i'm sorry if i said i hate him i don't like hate him
00:50:49.460 the way i hate a lot of people i'm just saying like i have i have no love for the guy you know
00:50:54.360 he's not uh he's not one of it's not like he's one of our guys that's under attack like you said
00:50:58.440 he's a kind of a demonic crow cromwellian not crom what the crowd what's his name so cool if
00:51:06.320 He was Cromwellian.
00:51:07.300 He was Cromwellian.
00:51:08.720 God damn it.
00:51:09.600 I'm going to not live that one down.
00:51:11.780 Crowley.
00:51:12.880 Crowleyan.
00:51:13.780 Crowleyan is what I was trying to say.
00:51:15.120 Where are our Cromwellian horny guys?
00:51:20.600 Horny Cromwellian guys.
00:51:23.380 Oh, man.
00:51:24.240 Also, four women have alleged sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013 while he was a presenter.
00:51:31.800 others have made a range of accusations about brands controlling abusive and predatory behavior
00:51:39.560 let me just say this anytime a woman ever says something about emotional manipulation or emotional
00:51:46.660 abuse throw everything else out with it yeah throw the baby throw the bath water throw the bath bin
00:51:53.400 throw the mom through the fucking house shut it throw it all fucking out and he even responded
00:52:00.320 he says okay he's he responded in a very russell brand way i'm gonna read it and you're gonna hate
00:52:08.080 him again amidst amidst this litany of astonishing rather baroque uh attacks hi hey i changed my
00:52:20.980 mind i hate him oh are they baroque these rather baroque attacks fuck off amidst oh you
00:52:29.940 that that is by the way what a sexual predator sounds like if you're if you're getting me too'd
00:52:36.000 throw out the flowery words yeah and this is just one of those things where it's it's at this point
00:52:44.620 me too is just like the fig leaf used to mask something else and i'm just i'm still trying to
00:52:52.380 reconcile this that the the general population understands that me too is horseshit
00:52:58.400 even feminists largely have backed away from it because there's been so many failures in trying
00:53:04.480 to like finger these guys but it's like it's still used and it seems that the only people
00:53:11.060 who still buy into it are the institutions and the authorities and i think there's almost an
00:53:17.020 unspoken recognition that okay we're going to allow this to exist so we can help people take
00:53:22.580 out the trash or allowing this as like an extrajudicial weapon because it's just i can
00:53:29.460 accuse you of something that needs no evidence and even i can even offer count a contradictory
00:53:36.300 self-defeating evidence and it still doesn't matter but you know what i was thinking of though
00:53:42.960 i was reading i'm reading this book called the therapeutic state and i was working on an article
00:53:49.160 for the vanguards journals take me a bit longer than i wanted to because it's talking about evil
00:53:54.920 and the propagation of evil and the intersection with mental illness we talked about this many
00:54:00.340 many episodes ago and one of the and going through the old notes i have on foucault
00:54:06.380 and political poneology and things like that and one of the things that stood out historically
00:54:11.140 was the connection between mental illness and physical illness and that you know this idea of
00:54:18.720 mental illness in and of itself kind of emerged with psychiatry and freud and all that but
00:54:26.460 i just started thinking about it that you know for a long time promiscuity was tied as a sin
00:54:35.740 but also as a kind of degenerative act promiscuity even homosexual heterosexual promiscuity was seen
00:54:42.220 as bad because well you can contract disease you can get syphilis syphilis was always like
00:54:46.900 the center of you know the cause of of mental breakdown because if you had syphilis you go
00:54:53.400 insane and sometimes you could have a syphletic mind and you get delusional may get seizures but
00:54:58.720 syphilis was always sort of like the ultimate you know demon in that and how do you get syphilis
00:55:05.060 well through too much sex too much unprotected sex so there's always like an uh a harsh darwinian
00:55:11.360 cap on those who are very promiscuous were more likely to catch syphilis and go insane and rot
00:55:18.340 and die right um and that great movie the liberty of johnny depp you know he ends up
00:55:25.300 getting syphilis and that too but i i just kept thinking that there's some kind of analogous
00:55:30.780 parallel to to the me too thing which the me too accusations it's almost like a social syphilis
00:55:39.580 that only seems to befall men not saying that the only people who get me to are like promiscuous
00:55:44.400 guys promiscuous heterosexual guys but it seems that you maximize your opportunity to be me to
00:55:51.020 if you are russell brand if you make your bones kind of whoring it around town like you would
00:55:56.720 get like we've figured out ways to have protected sex with condoms and to not get disease that way
00:56:03.140 we haven't figured out how to have protective emotional sex with women so you got guys catching
00:56:09.140 me too is like syphilis it's social syphilis there's some examples like the kavanaugh thing
00:56:14.540 where it's like okay this is a straight-laced conservative christian dad who probably is only
00:56:19.720 fucked four women in his life and they're doing it to him but that if you just treat that as a
00:56:24.740 red herring i think you're right that the majority of guys that we are wind up having to defend in
00:56:31.400 the me too thing the defense is usually something like well come on in his position you expect him
00:56:36.460 to not fuck a thousand whores it's like yeah we have we kind of started we kind of start from
00:56:41.220 there usually like the Weinstein thing it's like come on I mean you knew you were fucking him to
00:56:45.900 get the job right it's not really rape if it's part of your job back in the day you'd say well
00:56:49.760 don't sleep with a lot of whores otherwise you'll get a venereal disease and then we found ways to
00:56:54.780 get shots for that and you get shots for syphilis right in the penis hole and wear condoms and
00:57:00.180 whatnot but now it's i i get the sense that the word going out amongst young men it's just like
00:57:07.320 that's just like syphilis where it said well don't sleep with a lot of whores you're gonna get me too
00:57:11.580 and you're gonna get your money taken away you'll get debanked actually so me too is good for us
00:57:17.100 to some extent well it's a new it's like there's a way to look at this as just vindictive women or
00:57:23.320 whatever but it seems so widespread it seems like such like a decentralized phenomenon that it's
00:57:30.780 just like a virus it's just like a social virus that that that's like keeping the herd in check
00:57:36.520 somehow i'm not saying it's good even i'm just saying like like we're we're talking about being
00:57:41.240 me too as if we were talking about a venereal disease in the 1800s and it's it's to the point
00:57:47.000 where if you are like a man whore you almost expect it to happen just as a matter of course
00:57:52.160 Let's follow that to its natural conclusion. If it's having an impact on fertility rates, right? It probably would be if that were true. And then you have to say, qui bono? Is it part of the other larger program through vaccination and through immigration to lower birth rates?
00:58:10.520 like either you could even argue that this is ethnically targeted how many often to how often
00:58:15.820 do indian guys and arab guys and black guys get me too almost never it's essentially it's whites
00:58:20.880 largely mostly there are certain like you just mentioned there there's a lot of things driving
00:58:27.420 the birth rate down and this is something we talk about on the show and i've mentioned in comments
00:58:32.860 sometimes it's the lines are blurred between something i've said on the show versus like a
00:58:36.980 voice message i've left on telegram or something so i hope i'm not repeating myself but one of the
00:58:43.320 things i want to state for the record is that uh you know we're married but i am very conscious
00:58:48.600 of the dating market we're not married to each other we are not mixed and guess what i was about
00:58:54.480 to say we were very as we're very conscious of the dating market for young men didn't say that
00:59:00.040 you almost walked right into it you almost stepped in it with both feet
00:59:04.260 um but we're very conscious of like what it's like out there now everything's gonna sound gay
00:59:10.880 we're keenly aware what's like out there for men fuck okay
00:59:17.040 i've got myself in a fag mire once again um but yeah like a lot of it's like how do you fix the
00:59:26.320 dating market how do you fix gender relations how do you fix this whole kettle of fish we got
00:59:32.240 cooking up right here i'm like i don't know because it's not just one thing and i'm always
00:59:36.300 trying to because a lot of boomers will do this too like people young people these days just
00:59:40.460 aren't having sex why aren't they having sex i'm like well it's like 10 things one is that
00:59:47.120 testosterone rates are dropping we don't really know why but we will when we get into in a second
00:59:52.240 uh there's plastic in your blood uh and then there's the me too thing like guys are scared
00:59:58.460 to engage in traditional courtship uh then there's the technology thing then there's economics
01:00:05.220 it's all bundled in so i i don't like when people say things like these young people are just not
01:00:11.800 sucking and fucking as much as they should i'm like well i mean if you're a gen alpha and you're
01:00:17.460 going into this world like like how much of your blood is plastic right now and how does that
01:00:21.260 separate you from some living in the 1800s yeah you know what i mean like i don't know this i
01:00:26.240 I don't know. Chemically, nothing makes sense.
01:00:29.360 We're in unprecedented times, and they're getting more unprecedented.
01:00:33.460 But there was this study that I read that really ties into this,
01:00:38.440 and this was forwarded to me, and I read it a while ago,
01:00:42.420 then I read it again recently, and it's published on this site
01:00:47.200 called Slime Mold Time Mold.
01:00:50.720 It's a series of articles. These were published in 2021.
01:00:53.580 um there's i'm looking at three parts here um i think there might be a fourth part but it's
01:00:59.700 called a chemical hunger that's what the series is called and what it's trying to do is to get
01:01:05.420 to the bottom of the obesity epidemic in america like a lot of people have commented and there's
01:01:12.560 like a bunch of like cool muscly guys who listen to our show most people are but you'll notice that
01:01:19.500 Like, a lot of people try and lose weight, and they have a difficult time losing weight.
01:01:24.280 And they will look at photographs of families or people in public from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, and everyone seems like they're in shape.
01:01:33.500 There's no fat people there, right?
01:01:35.960 You look at a photo from a beach now, everybody's fat.
01:01:39.420 And that's beach people.
01:01:41.920 This is supposed to be the good crop, right?
01:01:44.900 The people who dare to take their shirts off.
01:01:47.060 And everyone's fat.
01:01:47.820 and like the skinniest person you'll see now would qualify as fat back then and everyone's
01:01:55.740 like well that's got even my wife i was talking to my wife about this and she's like well it's
01:01:58.940 all the sugary drinks right like well they had pop back then people drank a lot of maybe even
01:02:04.820 people drank more pop back then i'm not sure uh we can even look at the stats a bit later on that
01:02:09.640 because i have them here but one thing that is established in a chemical hunger it's that i'll
01:02:17.440 read a bit from it but the headline here is that people actually ate worse back then like if you
01:02:24.640 look at the types of food they eat like if you look at what we now we eat less sugar on average
01:02:30.520 than we did back then we less red meat than we did back then i think saying worse not to derail
01:02:37.040 but saying worse is kind of subjective because there's there's no apparent medical agreement on
01:02:44.120 which of any of you got people that are going to tell you fat is good fat is bad sugar is good
01:02:48.900 sugar is bad red meat white meat cheese good bad good like we can agree that microplastic is bad
01:02:55.120 but i mean and so far as hey they used to eat a whole lot of artery clogging buttered steaks with
01:03:01.560 toxic foods like broccoli like all right well i mean i mean i'm healthy and that's what i eat and
01:03:07.380 it's fine and it's what my grandfather ate so i don't know that they ate worse they certainly
01:03:11.640 ate a lot of fat but i mean they like they ate more sugar they ate more like everything that
01:03:16.960 they say you need to cut out now to lose weight they ate more of back then and were skinnier
01:03:22.540 like they ate more like for example he said this is how it opens it says um it's hard for modern
01:03:29.100 people to appreciate just how thin we all were for most of human history a century ago the average
01:03:34.920 man in the United States weighed around 155 pounds. Today, he weighs around 195. About 1%
01:03:41.660 of the population was obese back then. Now it's about 36%. When we look at the data, we find that
01:03:48.000 they had an average BMI of about 23, only 3% were obese. In comparison, middle-aged white men of the
01:03:54.440 year 2000 had an average BMI of 28, about 24% were obese. People in the 1800s did have diets that
01:04:04.380 were very different from ours but by conventional wisdom by conventional wisdom their diets were
01:04:08.660 worse not better they ate more bread and almost four times more butter than we do today they also
01:04:14.120 consumed more cream milk and lard this yeah but those things are all really good for you
01:04:18.900 like butter is really fucking healthy but if you conventional wisdom i know you get that sorry
01:04:24.100 yeah no i see okay i know you get that but that's not what everyone's saying everyone's saying that
01:04:29.160 if you want to lose weight cut out all carbs period well they were thin back then they ate
01:04:33.720 lots of carbs yeah um and you just see it go up up and up and he's going through the entire
01:04:41.080 all the examples given for why this is um and also the problem that it seems that these days
01:04:48.220 diets don't work he says there's a lot of disagreements about which diet is best for
01:04:52.880 weight loss uh people spend a lot of time arguing about over how to diet and which diet's the best
01:04:58.540 um some people do lose weight on diets some of them even lose a lot of weight but the best
01:05:02.960 research find that diets don't work very well in general and that no one diet seems to be better
01:05:08.720 than the others so and that is true if you look at how many diet crazes exist now than how they
01:05:15.080 used to be um and so he so it's something we're obsessed about like in this culture we're obsessed
01:05:21.440 so much about losing weight and people really i believe it when i see you know there's some like
01:05:26.460 super obese people and it comes down to pizza but it seems to be that there's certain
01:05:30.980 elements in our food that weren't there in the past so i'll give you a bit of a forecast how
01:05:36.260 this is going like one big thing is corn syrup right that's an obvious one that i was gonna say
01:05:41.140 about the sugars because they're like oh they used to eat all kinds of sugars it's like dude
01:05:44.760 most of the sugars that we have now weren't even synthesized until 20 years ago like these aren't
01:05:49.040 real sugars they're fucking chemicals you know what i mean like they were when they say they're
01:05:52.620 eating sugar they're eating like straight like uh beet sugar that they got from their yard that's
01:05:58.440 like uncut and has all the other vitamins and exactly whatever you know what i mean yeah that's
01:06:03.240 the thing so people like even my wife will be like oh you know you got to cut out sugar cut out bread
01:06:07.280 i'm like well that that can't be it it's corn syrup if anything and that's one of the big things
01:06:11.520 i think we replace sugar corn syrup and there's actually i'm kind of skipping ahead here but i
01:06:18.460 found there's this other site that i would i'd like you to go through this side you tell me what
01:06:23.380 you think at some point it's called if you haven't seen it if you've seen it let me know it's called
01:06:28.240 wtf happened in 1971.com oh yeah i saw a little bit of that i've seen that big site a lot of
01:06:37.480 people know about it if you haven't seen it check it out wtf happened in 1971.com aside from the
01:06:44.340 closing of the gold window aside from that never mind never mind no but what's that but there's
01:06:48.140 all these other things that happen right around the same time they all did yeah like 1971 it's
01:06:52.340 just this fucking year it's an inflection point where you start to see like that's the the year
01:06:57.800 where you start seeing the the dramatic increase of two income households you start seeing the
01:07:03.820 obesity epidemic rise and here i'm looking at one right now you know the global production of
01:07:08.820 vegetable oil around 1971 starts to climb like you know in 1939 it was uh less than 10 million
01:07:18.920 metric tons in 2019 it's over 210 million it just goes right to the fucking mood yeah and a lot of
01:07:26.580 that is corn syrup a lot of that is canola oil everything's canola oil i've looked at this before
01:07:31.700 all these charts together and my my feeling about it is that it's not a conspiracy it's just like
01:07:36.340 a um what do you call that a uh uh stability like a reinforcing patterns and you sometimes have a
01:07:43.960 bunch of waves that hit each other and then they start positively reinforcing each other and it
01:07:47.700 just moves things it's like you said it's an inflection point but it's just a bunch a bunch
01:07:51.420 of different things kind of happened at once and you had a new emergent pattern that pushed the
01:07:55.420 entire world every sector every part of society in a new direction and it was totally unconscious
01:08:00.280 it just happened at that moment and that's the thing like i don't want people to think this is
01:08:04.240 like a engineer situation but it's like to your point earlier it's like how the american diet
01:08:10.520 has changed in 1970 eating less potatoes eating less refined cane sugar and beet sugar way less
01:08:16.960 beef you see so much fucking be i even me like i probably eat less beef than most people i know
01:08:23.400 certainly most americans but there's nothing wrong with beef it's just it fell out of fashion
01:08:29.520 like i didn't i never took a stand against beef it was just this sort of generally understood that
01:08:34.460 you eat too much red meat it's bad for you and there's really no conclusive evidence that it's
01:08:40.020 that bad for you that's bullshit that's total bullshit i i love i believe that i eat too many
01:08:44.760 burgers might be bad for you it's funny because i never even thought of it that way i have never
01:08:48.020 in my life looked at beef and not said i want to eat that i just can never afford it i eat beef
01:08:52.720 whenever i can afford it it's just i can rarely afford it so i've gotten used to fish and chicken
01:08:56.920 but to me it's always been an affordability thing i look at my ancestors eating fucking
01:09:00.820 beef and venison it's like god damn it i wish and we eat less eggs less milk um and since 1970
01:09:07.980 the following things also we don't have raw milk we haven't had raw milk in like 40 50 years
01:09:12.160 we've got only pasteurized milk which like takes most of the nutrition out of it and that's just
01:09:17.320 again skipping ahead a bit that's essentially what he the point he's making here that it's the
01:09:22.360 chemicals in the food and also environmental stuff like this is where we get into like the plastic in
01:09:27.740 your blood and that we've created a world that actually seems to change how our bodies store
01:09:34.000 and process fat and process these chemicals so a lot of the fat like the people even though like
01:09:41.880 not everyone is fat a lot of the guys who are fit now work very very very hard to be fit
01:09:48.580 and i think they've noticed like a lot of the guys i know who are in shape and got really kind
01:09:53.940 of not even like bodybuilders but like fit they gotta watch their calorie counting they're like
01:10:01.060 eating like little bits of food for dinner and they're they're making sure their macros are
01:10:06.080 right it's very scientific and there was a time when i don't think you had to put that much work
01:10:10.760 in to be in shape even for guys who are in shape listening now i'm not i'm not even in great shape
01:10:16.400 i'm like uh i think i'm like one point out of normal into the overweight territory on bmi but
01:10:21.180 i work out fucking 10 12 hours there's no reason that you shouldn't be ripped just no i know you
01:10:26.980 do like it's it's i feel honestly i feel it's and it's it's uh disheartening you know the amount
01:10:32.160 that a normal guy has to work out just to look like a normal guy and not like a fat piece of
01:10:36.940 shit it's crazy and i i think you're right there's no way i know my my parents and my grandpa my
01:10:42.860 actually my it's funny because my parents are all extremely obese but my grandparents were not and
01:10:48.740 it's like i know that they were not working out i know what they lived like there's like they were
01:10:52.680 they eat whatever they fucking can get they never went to the gym no one went to the gyms
01:10:58.020 yeah and it's like i had one grandfather who was a like a laborer but i had another one who was a
01:11:04.600 typesetter like he sat at a at a drafting table most of his life and he was fine he was fine he
01:11:10.980 was perfectly healthy so yeah and they were driving cars they were taking so their lifestyles
01:11:16.560 don't seem to have been that much different because everyone like oh your grandparents you
01:11:21.900 know back in the day i'm like they were lazy assholes my grandfather never set fucking foot
01:11:26.080 in a gym until he had a heart attack later because he just couldn't he ate too much salt
01:11:31.060 But that's the one thing that would get you, the salt.
01:11:33.780 That whole generation is paying for that.
01:11:35.700 But since the 1970s, what skyrocketed?
01:11:39.000 Chicken, cooking oils, corn sweeteners, corn products, and rice.
01:11:45.840 But that's not, you know, that's kind of good.
01:11:47.420 And also yogurt, yogurt, you know, that's okay.
01:11:50.520 But, yeah, I would say check out this site because 1971 does seem like a very interesting point for a lot of things happening.
01:11:57.340 Did you hear about the FDA study about yogurt?
01:12:00.080 I heard this on a YouTube or something.
01:12:02.320 Yeah, I forget.
01:12:02.900 Maybe it's not true.
01:12:03.560 But this is what I heard.
01:12:04.200 It's apocryphal that when they did this study on yogurt in like the late 90s, early 2000s, when you got this craze because yogurt is a little bit foreign.
01:12:11.420 But all yogurt is is just like it's essentially like cream and milk, a little bit fermented, and then a bunch of sugar and flavoring, right?
01:12:18.200 When they did this, the FDA did the study on yogurt to tell everybody that yogurt is so healthy for you.
01:12:22.520 they did a like an a b or like a control study on straight vanilla ice cream and they found that
01:12:28.300 the health benefits of vanilla ice cream and yogurt are not statistically different like
01:12:34.840 there's almost no deviation so you eating a bowl of yogurt is the same as you eating a bowl of
01:12:40.680 vanilla ice cream which is to say they're both really fucking good for you because and i my
01:12:46.240 guess is part of it is real like genuine vanilla ice cream that's more like lactose and milk
01:12:52.180 proteins than a lot of people get otherwise so i believe it i believe no i believe it like again
01:12:58.060 this is coming back to the main point which is that even if you think of quote unquote bad food
01:13:03.360 we don't need a lot of like candy or anything like that but and most people don't and that's
01:13:09.280 why i wanted i didn't want to make it seem like just this is something fat people are doing i'm
01:13:13.260 like even fit people you're you spend a i know a lot of gym bros have probably heard that oh you're
01:13:19.900 one of those you're one of those fit guys you must spend all your time at the gym and maybe you do
01:13:24.300 but there was a time when you didn't need to you could just go for you were seen as fucking french
01:13:29.420 for going for a jog yeah yeah the worst possible thing yeah yeah but anyway check out that site
01:13:35.620 and so part three of the series on slime mold time old a chemical hunger um published by slime
01:13:43.160 it gets to the the real cause which i believe is accurate it's that i'll just read what it says
01:13:49.840 and in the second part it kind of goes through here's what people say it could be here's what
01:13:55.260 it's not same thing with the diet and same thing with all this stuff it's very very good series
01:13:58.860 you know he's kind of going through like good fat and bad fat good calories and bad calories
01:14:03.400 part three he says only one theory can account for all of the available evidence the obesity
01:14:08.940 epidemic is caused by one or more environmental contaminants compounds in our water food air at
01:14:15.440 our jobs and in our homes that change how our bodies regulate weight. These contaminants are
01:14:20.780 the only cause of the obesity epidemic and the worldwide increase in obesity rates since 1980
01:14:27.360 is entirely attributable to their effects. And again, just to underline that, this is a global
01:14:33.100 phenomenon as well. It's not just in the West or North America. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's related
01:14:38.200 to industrialization. So you're not going to find it in the Andaman Islands, but anywhere where
01:14:42.660 there are where there's plastic and electricity you're going to find this yeah and he goes into
01:14:46.940 some a lot of what it comes down to also is medications so um he says weight gain is a
01:14:53.560 common side effect of the psychiatric drug colozapine on average people taking clozeral
01:14:57.900 gain around 10 to 15 pounds weight gain basically he's going through all these prescription drugs
01:15:02.840 that so many people are on that cause weight gain um he says we need a theory that can account for
01:15:08.660 all of the mysteries we reviewed earlier another way to put this is to say that based on the
01:15:13.360 evidence we're looking for a factor that changed over the last hundred years with a major shift
01:15:18.760 around 1980 and wherever it is there's more of it every year it doesn't affect people living in
01:15:25.680 non-industrial lives regardless of diet it differs in its intensity by altitude for some reason which
01:15:33.540 is something you mentioned earlier and it appears to have nothing to do with our diets
01:15:37.340 um is it jews i'm scrolling here i'm trying to look for jews
01:15:43.160 um like he says your obesity is less common at high altitudes because of the watershed
01:15:50.320 environmental contaminants build up as water flows downhill and are much higher concentrations
01:15:55.780 as you approach sea level yeah so okay that's interesting like it's something to do with how
01:16:01.180 like water flows and the chemicals from the water too obesity rates are high everywhere in america
01:16:06.940 but we can see that they are higher in states
01:16:08.900 where the groundwater has covered more distance
01:16:11.540 and had more time to accumulate contaminants.
01:16:15.020 Okay, now this is interesting.
01:16:19.200 It's hard to find good province-level maps
01:16:22.020 of obesity for China,
01:16:23.960 but most of them look something like this.
01:16:25.860 And you show pretty much the same things
01:16:27.100 happening in China.
01:16:28.740 That this has, long story short,
01:16:30.540 this has to do with industrialization and chemicals.
01:16:33.080 And if you track how the,
01:16:34.620 like the water contamination would flow normally you start to see the obesity epidemics
01:16:39.880 flow away from that which i never heard explained before but damn like for all
01:16:46.520 everyone seems to intuitively understand that the industrial revolution has wreaked havoc
01:16:52.260 on our biology our bodies everything it's been a disaster for the human race
01:16:57.580 He keeps going
01:17:04.220 There's some parts here I didn't get to read
01:17:06.560 I'm on part 4 right now
01:17:08.620 Where it's actually trying to
01:17:10.680 Label what the actual chemicals
01:17:12.880 Are
01:17:13.460 One culprit
01:17:15.140 And it could be all of these at once
01:17:16.760 One culprit that the chemical
01:17:18.680 Dibiosis from exposure
01:17:21.000 To low dose antibiotics
01:17:23.040 This slide looks at
01:17:25.140 The top 8 prescriptions
01:17:26.760 for children in the United States in 2010.
01:17:31.780 And of the top eight, five of them are antibiotics.
01:17:36.840 And if you add these numbers of courses of antibiotics,
01:17:41.240 it's more than 40 million.
01:17:43.200 More than 40 million courses of antibiotics in our children
01:17:47.080 basically every year.
01:17:49.080 And that's just for the top five.
01:17:51.260 Now, in fact, antibiotics are available everywhere.
01:17:54.320 In the United States, you need a prescription to get antibiotics.
01:17:58.380 But in many countries of the world, antibiotics are available on demand.
01:18:03.080 This slide is from a small village in the Amazon.
01:18:06.900 This is a picture I took with my phone.
01:18:09.600 In between the drinks and the batteries were the generic over-the-counter antibiotics.
01:18:16.540 In China, it is estimated that antibiotic use,
01:18:20.000 which does not require a physician, a physician, a prescription or a physician is two to four times
01:18:26.840 as common as ours. It's higher, we believe, in India as well, but we just don't have the numbers.
01:18:34.080 Now, a lot of people have, they understand that antibiotics are overprescribed and that they find
01:18:39.800 their way into the water supply, into the water table, similar to birth control. And I think you
01:18:45.200 might talk about birth control in a little bit too, but just consider that. Like one of the main
01:18:49.340 problems with obesity could be like the and also the drop in testosterone is more of a rise in
01:18:55.920 estrogen through birth control in the water and could also be all these components of antibiotics
01:19:01.360 that everyone is taking for everything not breaking down in the water um he says uh it makes a pretty
01:19:09.660 compelling case a large percentage of antibiotics are extradited in animal waste and end up in the
01:19:15.120 water supply where they affect natural microorganisms relevant to our interests
01:19:20.180 antibiotics are more and more prevalent in rivers as they make their way towards the ocean
01:19:25.340 exposure has increased in the u.s over time closely matched with the increasing prevalence of obesity
01:19:32.280 so that's the other thing to consider that it's it's the rise in population leading to the rise
01:19:39.880 of livestock which is leading to the rise in antibiotics in those livestock and you always
01:19:46.020 hear stories about you know the waste products produced from all these animal farms especially
01:19:50.520 from pigs and beef where the the horror stories of having to deal with these lakes of pig shit
01:19:57.600 that are full of like antibiotics as well and all these strange chemicals it's like yeah well
01:20:03.120 where's that going it's going right into the water and that could have the antibiotics specifically
01:20:07.780 could have something to do with it the second culprit he talks about are per and polyfluoroacl
01:20:15.500 i'm gonna get made fun of so much for that sounds of per and polyfluoroacl substances
01:20:20.760 pfas are a group of synthetic chemicals that are used to make a wide variety of everyday products
01:20:26.840 including food packaging carpets rugs upholstered furniture non-stick cookware water repellent
01:20:33.520 outdoor gear like tents and jackets, firefighting foams, ski wax, all kinds of shit. There's around
01:20:40.100 5,000 different compounds, but only a couple of these compounds are well studied. The rest will
01:20:45.400 remain rather mysterious. PFAS are practically indestructible. They repel oil and water and are
01:20:52.980 heat resistant. They not only stick around for a long time in the environment, they stick around
01:20:58.480 for a long time in your body pfas compounds don't occur in nature and it takes a significantly longer
01:21:05.520 time for these compounds to break down in the environment and in the human body the cdc's
01:21:11.680 agency for toxic substances and disease registry says pfas contamination has the potential to
01:21:17.840 affect growth learning and behavior of infants and older children it could lower a woman's
01:21:24.160 chance of getting pregnant and it could increase the risk of cancer if you're reading this there's
01:21:30.600 probably pfas in your blood a cdc report from 2015 found pfas in the blood of 97 of americans
01:21:39.240 and a 2019 nrdc report found that the half-life of pfas in the human body is on the order of years
01:21:48.020 between 2.3 to 3.8 years so he this is again one of those chemicals that's fucking everywhere and
01:21:54.360 just to give a slice of my life it's been an ongoing battle with my in-laws to convince them
01:22:02.740 not to reuse food containers that they get from takeout we've talked about this before but like
01:22:09.240 i've caught them using like these disposable you're supposed to throw them the fuck out
01:22:13.300 right yeah if you get like a bunch of chinese food from kanji queen in toronto last one we
01:22:17.800 to kanji queen with the in-laws was five years ago she's been using the same takeout container for
01:22:23.360 five fucking years it's disintegrating yeah it's it's it's and i told them that these are supposed
01:22:28.140 to be the health conscious people right we don't use any of that shit we don't use the we don't
01:22:32.760 use those non-stick pans either we just use ceramic like uh yeah like a lot people do like
01:22:38.800 because that yeah because it'll fuck and everyone knows it's bad for you yeah we have ceramic and
01:22:43.780 iron and steel and we use we interchange them but we're like yeah fuck nonstick yeah and that's
01:22:49.280 people still use them and everyone understands that they would say oh you got a teflon pan if
01:22:53.820 you scratch it a bit you gotta throw it out because it's bad for you well again the in-laws
01:22:58.040 they've been using the same scratch to shit pan for like seven years like it's killing you but
01:23:03.740 how many people are like that how many people boomers whoever how many people are like oh it's
01:23:08.680 not that bad and it's just accumulate and accumulates and those are just two two fucking
01:23:14.560 basic things did i tell you about this that i try to have the discussion with my dad my dad's very
01:23:19.500 right wing and loves conspiracy theories he thinks that the like bio the uh microplastics and shit
01:23:25.980 poisoning your blood and it's making the frogs gay he thinks that's a left-wing conspiracy so he's
01:23:31.340 mad he thinks it's like an environmentalist thing that it's like global warming that they're trying
01:23:35.380 to convince us to be afraid of something when actually everything's fine and it's like no
01:23:39.440 but actually dad it's that's ours that's our conspiracy this one's like the rothschilds dad
01:23:45.860 this one's one of ours okay also like leftists hate the cia as well and i'm allowed to also
01:23:54.080 dislike the cia yeah yeah you know it's not that the cia are secretly awesome
01:23:59.380 suspect number three lithium lithium is the third element of the periodic table the lightest metal
01:24:08.160 it isn't synthetic but it can still be an environmental contaminant unlike other
01:24:13.520 contaminants we've reviewed we don't need to spend any time convincing you that lithium makes
01:24:17.820 people gain weight it does almost everyone who takes lithium at therapeutic levels gains some
01:24:23.240 weight we'd love to tell you whether lithium concentrations in groundwater have increased
01:24:28.320 over time, but while lithium is easy to detect, accessing lithium levels is not a part of standard
01:24:34.820 analysis of the drinking water. A recent study led by researchers from King's College London
01:24:40.020 and Sussex Medical School set out to synthesize all available evidence of the association
01:24:44.820 between lithium in drinking water and suicide rates. In total, the team identified 415 articles
01:24:51.640 spanning three decades, comprising data from over 1,000 regions, counties, and cities around the
01:24:57.060 world. The average concentration of lithium in the water samples ranged from under 4 to over 80
01:25:02.420 micrograms per liter. By combining the results of multiple studies, the team was able to
01:25:07.680 statistically analyze the data and search for a link. And a link emerged. Their analysis showed
01:25:13.060 that areas with higher concentrations of lithium in their public tap had correspondingly lower
01:25:17.960 rates of suicide. This is the first meta-analysis of its kind, so these findings are hugely encouraging.
01:25:24.580 And that might be one of the biggest ones. It's a graph showing world lithium production from 1900 to 2007. As you can imagine, lithium was very, very low throughout, like even the first half of the 20th century and prior to that.
01:25:41.800 um but the grace as the graph is pretty telling almost no lithium was produced before 1950 so
01:25:49.240 human activity couldn't have been adding a meaningful amount to the groundwater
01:25:52.840 um serious lithium production started in 1950 um lithium definitely ends up in the groundwater
01:26:00.440 it's there in small concentrations naturally but human activity adds more um so that that's just
01:26:06.740 he goes in the exact science behind it but you know just think about the the wild increase of
01:26:13.880 lithium in so let's take all three of these as true it doesn't need to be one let's say it's
01:26:18.640 all three of these chemicals at once i think that's a pretty solid case like at the very least
01:26:23.780 you know i think there is a strong correlation to obesity but what else is correlated to all of it
01:26:31.240 and and what's even worse is back to that first page what happened in 1971 like
01:26:37.840 this is something back what i'd like to keep in focus when we criticize things from an ideological
01:26:44.960 point of view or an economic point of view like you cannot remove the biological or even
01:26:51.400 psychological but largely biological aspects from this like and again like this ties right
01:26:56.300 into mental illness like how is this not related to mental illness how is this not related to
01:27:00.600 depression and and you're going to medicate your way to that like you are technically medicated
01:27:06.720 into being depressed that could be the story here too right like why why aren't people having sex
01:27:12.080 why are people depressed and killing themselves and shooting up schools and stuff well maybe it's
01:27:17.100 these three chemicals that were never here before and you're telling that the only solution is more
01:27:22.860 chemicals like i don't did you see the the white pill in the comments at the end of part three
01:27:27.520 the guys like no hey uh one thing that isn't taken into account here about bmi is that there
01:27:33.800 was a large change in because of uh i guess because of the green revolution this is a large
01:27:39.800 change in the height the average height of men and women in the industrial world and the other
01:27:46.200 thing that happened in the same period much later on but happened was we now actually go to the gym
01:27:51.440 people that do go to the gym and are fit and tall will have a bmi that's out of whack and with a
01:27:56.640 normal bmi measurement it'll say they're fat but if you measure their arm and their neck and their
01:28:00.840 waist you'll find oh they're not fat they're just chads their bmi is like 50 because they can they
01:28:06.560 can crush your skull like a grape nut so maybe it's actually that we're not fat at all we're tall
01:28:13.300 atlantean ripped chads and we're based and everything's fine don't worry about it get out
01:28:18.780 of here the white man is back baby the white man is back it's a good white pill yeah there you go
01:28:24.420 what do we do with that information actually everything's fine so don't worry about it um i
01:28:28.940 don't know if you notice this but we're all chads actually yeah but that's aren't real yeah maybe
01:28:35.580 maybe we're just taller which you know you listen genocide continues listener you are six foot eight
01:28:42.680 and ripped right i know me too everything's fine or everything we're getting taller proportionally
01:28:49.120 which means that they're still short guys but they're just taller than their ancestors who
01:28:55.200 were short or maybe old things just keep getting smaller maybe houses and yardsticks got smaller
01:29:01.760 but we stayed the same size it'd be funny if the real problem with this generation we're
01:29:06.360 complaining about everything's too expensive and the houses suck it's just because we're huge
01:29:11.340 nobody noticed we're actually just huge like has anyone noticed that everything is like a
01:29:18.520 dollhouse sized it's like wait my ancestors only ate one gram of beef a year how is that possible
01:29:24.360 oh he was eight inches tall oh it was it was lily potion oh you know yeah i don't know if
01:29:30.660 anyone's noticed this but their birthday cakes are like the size of a muffin
01:29:34.220 guys look around you have we just been giants the whole time it's just like our version of
01:29:43.340 mud flood but it's just like the ancient ancient world was small and nobody noticed
01:29:47.320 Why are groceries so expensive now?
01:29:55.360 Everything is smaller now.
01:29:58.060 Russell Sprouts, your grandparents called that romaine lettuce.
01:30:01.860 Feel old yet?
01:30:04.520 Stuart Little was voted most attractive normals heighted man.
01:30:10.940 He's a mouse.
01:30:12.060 He's a mouse.
01:30:17.320 they don't know it's like all these old newspapers where mice were hot
01:30:24.300 now i wanted to talk about this book that's we're going into like a really strange arc of books that
01:30:35.700 i'm really excited about and it's about networks and it's about sort of decentralized systems and
01:30:42.360 new ways to look at group formations and states and things like that and i'm going to review
01:30:49.480 it's actually two books there's one that was i started reading and i read it but it wasn't
01:30:55.660 i don't know if i can make it its own thing but i'll kind of summarize it because it relates to
01:31:00.220 it one is this book called misbehaving by richard thaler and it's the history of behavioral
01:31:08.000 economics told in a very anecdotal and even autobiographical way. And behavioral economics
01:31:15.680 took a bit of heat recently because there was a very noteworthy researcher who proved to just be
01:31:22.260 faking data. Ariely's nearly 30-year career as a scholar and entrepreneur has been an exceptional
01:31:28.880 success by all accounts. But there is a problem. A big, big problem. In August of 2021, an anonymous
01:31:37.260 team of researchers posted evidence of fraud in one of Ariely's papers to an online blog.
01:31:41.900 The results of the paper, which had already failed to replicate in six studies,
01:31:45.660 was a key insight of one of Ariely's bestselling books.
01:31:49.420 Behavioral economics is about, okay, how does individuals' behavior impact their financial
01:31:54.560 decisions? The idea, the big idea behind behavioral economics is that people on an
01:32:01.580 individual level tend to behave irrationally. And that irrationality can be hijacked by sales
01:32:08.060 and advertising and marketing. And like, you think that a lot of times people, when they're
01:32:13.000 operating with their money in a transaction, they're completely rational, but they're not.
01:32:18.540 And why psychologically that happens. And there's this other book I read that I really liked.
01:32:24.940 And I wasn't totally on board with it for the first bit, but that was just my limitation
01:32:31.360 as a reader and a man um it's called the true state by othmar spain uh older book
01:32:39.940 essentially it's like a lot of these books we've covered before it's it's giving a schematic for
01:32:46.860 the fascist state but it's an older german book and it's written in this very cool gothic font
01:32:53.920 but uh it's explained once you see people start talking about corporatism which is what the book
01:33:00.420 is about never says fascism it talks about corporatism and never even mentions national
01:33:04.600 socialism but corporatism as the economic model for how to reorganize society and this was
01:33:10.800 occurring at a time when you know communism was a competitor for this and marxism was still
01:33:16.500 highly highly in vogue and what's interesting is it's an anti-capitalist book but it's also
01:33:24.080 severely anti-Marxist and it takes uh i i think you would like it because it takes a very we
01:33:33.820 might call it communitarian approach um like a lot of corporatists what they do is they harken back
01:33:40.640 to like the medieval guild system um and they would argue that this system this system of
01:33:47.360 corporatism is more like what we've had all throughout time. Now, I'll start by just setting
01:33:54.060 up what I was reading in Misbehaved. It's an interesting book. I'd recommend people read it,
01:34:00.640 but we've kind of covered parts of it in the past. But I wanted to start by the claim that
01:34:06.020 individuals aren't very logical, especially when they're given total power over their finances
01:34:14.700 in the capitalist system.
01:34:16.180 There's a myriad of examples of people
01:34:18.100 who don't behave rationally
01:34:19.240 when it comes to finances.
01:34:20.500 The entire book is to show
01:34:21.740 how irrationality is coded
01:34:23.740 into the system of exchanges
01:34:25.320 at various levels,
01:34:26.940 far beyond the materialist
01:34:29.560 or market decisions.
01:34:31.580 Basically, until about 1940,
01:34:34.000 economics was behavioral.
01:34:37.420 And in particular,
01:34:39.520 Adam Smith was a great
01:34:41.000 behavioral economist.
01:34:42.160 People think about him correctly as the father of modern economics, but wrongly they think about him as somebody who completely believed in laissez-faire and a rational economic man.
01:35:04.240 Before he wrote The Wealth of Nations, he wrote another book called The Theory of Moral Sentiments, in which he talks about passions and controlling our passions and talked about we have an impartial spectator that is helping us control our passions.
01:35:22.660 And the famous phrase, the invisible hand, appears exactly once in The Wealth of Nations, and it appears in a sentence that's extraordinarily weak.
01:35:36.480 one thing he found and this is the thing i found most fascinating is that they conducted studies
01:35:44.520 and you think that the human mind is attuned to like wealth and money or money as a marker for
01:35:53.920 you know how much security or whatever you have um he said people's levels of happiness respond
01:36:03.040 more to change in respond more to change than their actual level of wealth um and the way he
01:36:10.720 phrased it was the human mind we're actually a change measurement system so it's like we we're
01:36:16.920 actually very bad at judging rationally how much is in our savings account but we know when we've
01:36:23.020 gained something and we know when we've lost something and we're almost hardwired to want
01:36:29.480 to not only gain stuff but experience change and yeah he phrased he phrased in such a way that our
01:36:36.480 minds are biologically and evolutionary evolutionarily designed to be like change
01:36:44.040 measurement mechanisms it's like once you realize that you can kind of hack that system
01:36:49.060 and that's essentially what sales and marketing is like for example this is how sales work so the
01:36:55.860 idea that you can make someone buy a product, not because they need that product or even want that
01:37:02.260 product. They just feel like this is a good deal. So they have something called sort of the,
01:37:09.420 it calls it acquisition utility that our minds will say like we, the value of that transaction
01:37:18.080 is, makes us happy more than the value of actually getting that product. So that means you can drive
01:37:24.380 people to actually buy a product if they feel like they're saving money on that product this
01:37:28.520 happens with women all the time you'll notice like we have to get it because it's a sale even
01:37:32.260 if it's something you don't really need this is like doing antiques or yard sales or auctions and
01:37:36.660 it's like you end up coming home with all kinds of stuff which is like according to like the value
01:37:41.460 of that thing you got an amazing deal but if you had to ask yourself two hours earlier is this
01:37:46.520 something you would ever buy they'd be like no why the fuck would i want one of those so yeah but
01:37:50.380 it's four dollars of course i want it of course that's it's worth a hundred bucks you can't lose
01:37:56.320 at four bucks and now you have it and what do you fucking do like i told you i have a gramophone now
01:38:00.320 in my living room why why the fuck do i have a gramophone in my living room because it was 10
01:38:05.580 bucks so now i have it so there's other examples he gives where he calls something the jnd or the
01:38:12.560 just noticeable difference it's like we we're more likely to drive an extra 45 minutes to save
01:38:19.380 an extra $10 on a tool we're buying than save $10 on a $500 TV. You're still saving. Everything's
01:38:27.480 the same, but it seems like it doesn't make a significant difference in the overall price,
01:38:32.400 even though rationally it does. But no one does that. You know what I mean? So it's like, how do
01:38:39.500 we actually measure? What you're not measuring is the money. You're measuring how the human mind
01:38:44.260 measures difference and so we're just difference measuring engines which seems like that's more of
01:38:51.380 a evolutionarily beneficial thing but it's way easier to hack on an individual level
01:38:58.020 um so i asked the following question suppose by attending this lecture today you've been exposed
01:39:06.820 to a rare fatal disease and there's a one in a thousand chance you're going to drop dead next
01:39:15.540 week, a quick and painless death, not to worry. We have one cure. It's in this glass right here
01:39:26.260 and we'll sell it to the highest bidder. How much will you pay? Yeah, that's question one.
01:39:32.180 Question two is, Stanford is running some studies
01:39:38.020 on that same disease,
01:39:39.820 and they need volunteers for an experiment.
01:39:42.600 All you have to do is walk into a room
01:39:45.080 and expose yourself to one in a thousand risk of death.
01:39:48.860 There will be no cure available.
01:39:51.080 What would you have to be paid
01:39:53.640 to participate in that experiment?
01:39:56.080 Now, according to economic theory,
01:39:58.300 the answers to those questions
01:40:00.080 should be approximately the same.
01:40:03.140 And the responses I got were wildly different.
01:40:08.700 So someone would say, oh, I'd pay $5,000 for that cure.
01:40:14.480 But I wouldn't do that experiment for half a million.
01:40:18.560 So orders of magnitude difference.
01:40:22.340 And the same thing with time horizons.
01:40:23.920 And we've mentioned this before, that throughout time,
01:40:26.740 one thing we've always noticed is that the individual regardless of really their culture
01:40:32.000 is bad at measuring time horizons and that's just something you experience in life that you like you
01:40:37.320 measure the value of things differently as you move through time like retirement savings or
01:40:43.260 savings in general right like nothing is nothing will change about the material itself but it's
01:40:49.060 just your subjective experience will weight things differently throughout time even though it would
01:40:55.400 be much easier if you started saving earlier and what's interesting is like this same affliction
01:41:01.620 was experienced by our ancestors as us anyway i wanted to set the stage by showing sort of real
01:41:10.840 real life examples of how like we all kind of fuck each other over on an individual level we're not
01:41:17.280 good with finances we think we are but the entire purpose of behavioral economics some people don't
01:41:24.400 like it because it overstates how irrational people are or overstates how that influences
01:41:29.580 the market or the invisible hand of the market but it's at least a component to explain why i think
01:41:36.040 because if you believe that mark individuals are irrational it can also mean that markets are
01:41:41.080 irrational and you can predict markets mathematically but sometimes it's just weird
01:41:46.720 things can happen and you can tell that there's no rational justification for why it happens
01:41:52.220 you know that's why bank runs happen and things like that so that leads into the true state which
01:42:00.540 is again a book i found very very fascinating especially near the end because i think it
01:42:05.720 answered a lot of questions that like it's not just an economic model i remember when we discussed
01:42:11.700 the green book by gaddafi he presented a very simple stripped down version of this you know
01:42:20.720 because it's supposed to be explained to muslims this is explained in a very german way so it's
01:42:26.900 very detailed it's very to the point and going through all the possible scenarios of where it
01:42:33.040 could go and what why this is addressing that it's not very utopian and that's why i always found
01:42:39.300 fascinating about corporatism it's not a utopian model it actually looks to history and says look
01:42:45.260 Okay, it seems that we are community-based.
01:42:49.820 We're community-based people.
01:42:52.840 I'm getting ahead of myself.
01:42:53.920 I'll start at the top because it involves some setup.
01:42:56.740 It was published in 1921.
01:42:59.300 So the context of when this book was written is a bit different,
01:43:01.880 but I think a lot of it is still relevant.
01:43:03.600 He says,
01:43:04.420 The current zeitgeist is defined by three circles of ideas,
01:43:08.480 the political crisis of democracy,
01:43:10.720 the economic crisis of capitalism,
01:43:12.440 and the crisis of reform within Marxism.
01:43:16.120 And he says really what it is,
01:43:17.640 it's the tension between the individualist form
01:43:20.760 and the universalist form.
01:43:23.180 The movement away from individualism
01:43:26.540 and a search for spirituality.
01:43:29.580 And he claims that Marxists actually want it.
01:43:32.120 So universalist in this sense
01:43:33.480 is actually more spiritual, more communal,
01:43:36.460 more like what the traditionalist types would talk about.
01:43:39.360 Whereas individualism is modernity.
01:43:41.920 that's liberalism and he argues in the book that marxism it wanted to be universalist but it was
01:43:48.020 actually individualist um it ended up making what he says like hyper charges liberalism because it
01:43:54.140 made everything about the individual and their material conditions and there's actually nothing
01:43:59.780 spiritual there's nothing really communal about marxism because it always puts the individual's
01:44:04.940 material conditions at the center which you know if you've dealt with marxist before will become
01:44:09.680 apparent when you deal with them because they they it's impossible into his mind it's impossible to
01:44:16.400 have a true universalist or true collectivist organization if you're also ripping out
01:44:22.720 spirituality and you're ripping out hierarchy and you're ripping because that's what they did
01:44:27.240 ripping out the family structure and these sort of these configurations that human beings always
01:44:32.100 seem to find themselves in so if you're going to base your entire utopian ideology on the
01:44:39.260 effectively the sovereign individual you just have hypercharged liberalism that's his case anyway
01:44:44.600 he says like what is individualism in detail well individualism is defined as the individual
01:44:52.940 breaking away from the community breaking away from the whole the society the culture
01:44:59.640 the supra individual as he calls it it's a metaphysical it's empiricist it's relativistic
01:45:06.340 it's inductive it's causally scientific it's cosmopolitan and ironically it's centralizing
01:45:16.500 and he makes a point here that i i think this is one of the better criticisms of democracy
01:45:23.300 and it's the the way the individual is forced to interact with the government it says due to the
01:45:28.500 power being in the individual the relationship with the large government must be more direct
01:45:34.340 and immediate which actually is uh it's like one central hub and a thousand spokes going out
01:45:40.040 so it almost prohibits collective action if you feel like your your individual voice must be heard
01:45:45.760 your demands of power always like you rely so much on that vote in a sense but that's not really how
01:45:53.020 power and influence works and that's why democracy doesn't really exist in that form um and he says
01:46:01.420 like in the age of the individual there is no inwardness and he uses the word inwardness a lot
01:46:06.800 and that's not n-wordness mind you inwardness which is there's no spiritual there's no connection
01:46:14.360 to anything larger than yourself you know and when we talked about like the relationship between the
01:46:20.680 individual and the monarchy you know a lot of people think oh it's like you're a serf and
01:46:25.060 there's this king that you must worship it's like no he was almost a representation of the culture
01:46:29.900 things were a lot more interconnected in these older systems um so you wouldn't see yourself as
01:46:38.100 a slave you and you would see the king as a representation of like an interfacing with the
01:46:44.700 divine and you're part of that and you're there's a connectedness with everything and if you searched
01:46:50.440 inward you would find that same you're like a part of this bigger machine um and even the the head of
01:46:57.420 that machine was still part of the machine and he says universalism the inverse of that what's
01:47:04.100 universalism um it's designed to be objective a priori deductive intuitive not it's got purposeful
01:47:12.280 science um it's permeated with the irrational the metaphysical and he says it's corporatist
01:47:18.900 instead of capitalist so it's almost the opposite of the individual and it incorporates you know the
01:47:24.120 the strange odd things that are generated from the people doesn't seek to wipe them away and it seeks
01:47:30.340 to manage the natural connections that exist between people and the ways they form groups
01:47:35.860 because within the corporatist government and within the guild system he's trying to say okay
01:47:41.180 how do human beings we're kind of going people first you have the individual there is really is
01:47:47.020 no individual like you or i like we're men but we're in part of a family you know we're
01:47:54.040 part of the family system in our immediate family but then we also have our extended family and then
01:47:59.000 we have the community right so the entire idea of an individual standing apart from that is kind of
01:48:04.820 silly like you are in this mass and i think the older that i get the more i realize that the best
01:48:11.960 way to live is a part of a community not just a drift in the wind right so he says you know a lot
01:48:18.220 of the liberals and marxists would try and devalue that and he's trying to say like you know there is
01:48:23.620 there almost is no concept of the individual you have your your identities that you identify with
01:48:29.960 and these identities are usually group oriented like you're it's like your family and then also
01:48:35.420 your church and then also your trade these are three groups that are overlapping over the entity
01:48:41.680 called judas right um but there is a problem there's a problem if you take either to the extreme
01:48:49.260 if you have inward complete individuality you have these atomized people who are very energetic
01:48:56.980 and they're very purposeful but there's no real spiritual genius in there kind of like we have
01:49:01.980 now however on the other end of the spectrum if you're too collectivist if you're too spiritual
01:49:06.560 you end up living in this kind of sedentary holding pattern and there's no real innovation
01:49:12.820 there's no invention like you need kind of a mix of both and so what corporatism was seeking to
01:49:18.860 solve was how do we do the best of these both worlds how do we leverage innovation and individual
01:49:24.560 genius and invention will also not completely atomize in people um he said and again this is
01:49:32.920 in the beginning where it's very philosophical but i like a lot of what he says so i'm just
01:49:36.660 going to read it here he says community is the spiritual exchange the super individual that
01:49:42.800 lies therein which constitutes all that is truly fruitful and essential in our lives
01:49:48.520 which imbues our life with sociality as a fundamental essential form however community
01:49:55.300 ironically forms over dissimilarity over common identity like-minded individuals connecting
01:50:02.620 implies like a break from the hive mind and this is the difficulty with this is what communists
01:50:08.040 don't like they don't like that you know guilds and organizations in effect separate you from the
01:50:13.620 larger collectivism right but like for example like you if you were in this society like what
01:50:19.100 you feel strongly about being an urbanite versus a rural guy like those are fundamental to your
01:50:25.840 identity to the part where even if you're of the same race even if you're in the same job
01:50:31.660 you feel like you're hostile to each other that's natural that's just a whenever you kind of get an
01:50:39.000 identity you you other other people right but he's trying to say that that's not something we should
01:50:44.520 necessarily run away from you know like even that's what a guild essentially is you collectivizing
01:50:49.960 over your job right um it says the ideal universalist system the corporatist system
01:50:57.620 promotes organic inequality and the components of societies that are communities rather than
01:51:03.620 individuals where individuals gain existence through integration and this is something we're
01:51:09.080 always talking about like you know as an individual what gives you value well first of all if you have
01:51:13.300 a family right if you're just a guy walking around you probably don't have a lot of family but if you
01:51:17.440 have got a wife and children you seem to i know some people i hate when we talk like this but i
01:51:22.760 know you feel strongly about this like if you do have a family like you are in a higher position
01:51:28.520 in society you're raising kids and taking care of the next generation absolutely yeah and then
01:51:34.160 but through that process you become more ingrained in a community as well and usually parents um and
01:51:40.360 family men will take more of an active role in their regional community or their village or their
01:51:46.100 town or whatever it is and in their church and so you've got all these you've got this like one guy
01:51:52.640 whose value is increasing as he's affiliated with more groups so you're not just locked into one
01:51:58.980 identity you can gather up more sort of groups but and become more relevant that way instead of
01:52:04.640 again just a guy who shows up and demands things from the government right and he says and this
01:52:11.700 will sound familiar to anyone who's read about fascism or corporatism but he says society
01:52:17.480 as a totality of values and totality of these identities is like a truly intelligible being
01:52:24.660 it functions like an organism where each part is unequal and distinct but serves a communal
01:52:30.140 purpose like the liver the lungs the heart each of these are separate and and don't really
01:52:36.020 communicate with each other maybe don't have anything in common but they're all connected
01:52:40.620 through into this larger organism he says an organism is a super mechanism and a society
01:52:49.400 is a super organism i like that phrase he said
01:52:52.540 he says in a society of small communities which is what we want
01:52:59.260 with their own allegiances and their own conflicts with everyone else there needs to be a unifying
01:53:04.460 spirit or idea to form the social whole this is essentially the superstructure um and this is
01:53:12.520 the thing marxists hate marxists hate the idea of a superstructure because they think capitalism is
01:53:18.580 the superstructure and in a sense they're correct because there needs to be sort of a unifying
01:53:24.160 connective tissue between everything in society for it to be a society and oftentimes it's unspoken
01:53:29.560 um and you can always tell what the superstructure is by you know what is permitted within it like
01:53:35.780 nothing that truly damages the superstructure is allowed within the superstructure which is
01:53:40.940 the frame of the entire society um and in fact it uh it necessitates persecution persecution
01:53:48.080 to those who are hostile to it uh okay yeah it's it's basically what he's describing is
01:53:55.900 like a medieval guild society in the modern age and trying to figure out how what that would
01:54:00.840 actually look like and he describes it as estates so it's an estate would be sort of like a guild
01:54:06.940 itself that is tied together in some like folk sort of way um and that those estates kind of
01:54:16.280 meet to collaborate um he says the formation of the state is that of a conglomeration
01:54:21.400 of spiritual estates which are like corporations of communities so that's the other way to think
01:54:26.920 of it like what's an estate think of all the communities how you would define a community
01:54:30.380 as like a coherent corporation based on values and an estate's a collection of them
01:54:36.440 and really i guess what i'm trying to get at with all this that i found most fascinating is
01:54:43.540 like a model for society that in court not it doesn't try and do away with the individual
01:54:49.620 and it doesn't try and do away with the collective like effectively i know that a lot of people would
01:54:55.740 hate it to be phrased this way but it's like an extension of natural law because natural law is
01:55:01.960 always looking at like what is the law is what is naturally the family is the fundamental
01:55:07.440 unit of society that's what a lot of libertarians and the hoppians would say right and that is true
01:55:13.560 but usually there's still exists in our scene this idea that everything begins and ends with
01:55:20.780 the family but what other forms does the family take because it's not just the family it's the
01:55:25.500 community and it's not because and a lot of guys who would hear this it's like okay is my destiny
01:55:30.200 just to be a family man is my am i just supposed to be like a peasant it's like well no like if
01:55:35.680 you want to be a worker if you want to have other identities that is what they did in medieval
01:55:41.040 guilds too like he says um you know the modern view of medieval europe being primarily legalistic
01:55:46.380 was incorrect and said you know wherever like in rome or athens wherever democracy prevailed and
01:55:53.000 never did away with the basic corporatist or guild relationships and we're going to get into this in
01:55:58.240 the next episode when we talk about the formation of secret societies that's another way to talk
01:56:03.360 about what we're talking about now like what is a guild where you're like a group of men a community
01:56:07.800 a group of families who are united over this one this one belief and some people will view that as
01:56:15.720 like a trade like oh you're the masons well masons are actually you know the masons would be a great
01:56:20.900 example the freemasons as like you were laborers but you also have this whole other spiritual
01:56:26.840 dimension to it and this whole other parallel hierarchy and you have the ability to exist
01:56:33.460 within the system but also exist as your own and it kind of became this free floating thing but
01:56:38.820 you know in society what if everyone had their own freemason guild what if everyone had their own
01:56:44.560 like really really binded fraternal organizations that represented your values which strengthen
01:56:51.620 your values and in a sense that's what each of us are trying to find like in this
01:56:55.760 dissident scene we're trying to cobble together these sorts of things right now and i think one
01:57:01.920 of the problems that we run into is we don't know how to draw those lines we actually don't know how
01:57:06.980 to make our own spiritual estates or collectivize our values because we think our values are too
01:57:12.460 dissimilar we kind of follow along religious lines but even then not really um but i think
01:57:19.660 in a lot of ways what we're trying to do is to like we're trying to reconcile the fact that we
01:57:25.180 as individuals we feel lost and hopeless but we don't really know how to collectivize or we think
01:57:30.200 that to collectivize and must be along class lines but i like the idea that you can kind of
01:57:35.680 collectivize along any lines you want you can and you can collectivize the lines that are also
01:57:42.660 regional that also incorporate the family and maybe the family is the essential building block
01:57:48.180 but of that corporation and not this larger amorphous society itself because if you just
01:57:56.160 view the family as the basic building
01:57:58.200 block of society but you just
01:58:00.160 want that family to have the same direct
01:58:02.100 one-to-one relationship with the government
01:58:04.080 you're still having the same problem
01:58:06.100 of that individualist democracy
01:58:08.300 you're just making four or five votes
01:58:10.240 count as one vote
01:58:11.240 you need to completely reshape how
01:58:14.260 that family interacts with power
01:58:16.520 and its own regional
01:58:18.220 area. Anyway, I know that was a bit of
01:58:20.240 a meandering one. Does any of that make
01:58:22.260 sense? No, that's cool. I actually like
01:58:24.200 the idea
01:58:25.220 And that's what's funny because a lot of people, that is in a lot of ways a fascist government, that's a corporatist government. But once you hear it explained, even if it's by a German, once you hear it explained, I don't find many people who disagree with the corporatist model because what it really seeks is balance.
01:58:43.160 what it really seeks is the balance between what we might consider natural law but also
01:58:50.460 the innovations and accelerations promised by liberalism so it's like you don't and you don't
01:58:58.220 because if you if it's just the old guild model you get a bunch of trad guys who are like i just
01:59:03.280 want to be a peasant they're saying okay we look we don't want to just turn the clock back and go
01:59:08.480 back to medieval england that's that's unreasonable and it's not going to happen but there's got to
01:59:13.560 be a way to take what worked on that and transplanted in a modern nation state so i think
01:59:22.280 did i cut you off there i thought you were going to say something no no no no no it's good and also
01:59:26.540 the idea of there is private property within these estates but it's it's a different sort
01:59:31.160 of private property it's like you get private private some of it's owned by the community a
01:59:35.480 lot of it's owned by you but this is what i liked about when gaddafi was talking about it
01:59:40.180 and maybe this is more of a muslim approach to it but he said like at the very least every man
01:59:45.980 needs his own house every man needs a space that he's in control of and i think a lot of
01:59:52.520 collectivists don't get that they're like everyone owns everything and in effect you know you don't
01:59:57.440 even own your house no you need i remember someone took exception to when i said this before but he
02:00:02.180 said i think hans herman hoppe had said the household needs to be a zone of anarchy
02:00:07.360 everyone said no no there's there's hierarchy in the house the father's in charge like no
02:00:11.280 anarchy from the state yeah the idea is that in your house that the father the family's in charge
02:00:17.100 of the family house yes the state never goes into the fucking house um and that that is how it should
02:00:22.720 be so you can never and you need to keep that and i think that's one thing that modern collectivists
02:00:27.680 struggle with they don't they don't know how to reconcile the family and the private property
02:00:32.860 stuff but like even now as like an older guy i'm like yeah you fucking need that like most of us
02:00:38.940 are going insane just because we can't have our own space in our own houses i think going forward
02:00:44.460 what's the state promising us right now more apartment buildings that's not going to solve
02:00:48.340 anything less less of the rest yeah yeah anyway i know that we can get going now thank you for
02:00:54.960 listening to that that's that's going to be the primer for the next few episodes as well
02:00:59.340 nice i'm liking this this is good all right i'll talk to you later cool man see ya
02:01:04.480 hey baby i hear the blues are calling top salads and scrambled eggs
02:01:11.520 and maybe i seem a bit confused yeah maybe but i got you
02:01:18.180 go ahead because one of the the interesting thing is is the first time that we talked about this
02:01:24.940 book dimes was that it was my chief inspiration for wanting to talk about this because i bought
02:01:30.120 i grabbed this book in a uh a closing out you know final days take whatever's free off the
02:01:37.740 shelves at this bookstore in my town and i saw this and i thought well this is really interesting
02:01:42.520 and i want to talk about this book eventually because you know the creation the collapse of
02:01:47.060 the black jewish alliance just sounds like a screaming red pill to anyone maybe on the side
02:01:52.180 of politics but um it's also written by a man who worked closely with civil rights affairs in the
02:01:57.480 american jewish congress so it's like okay we got to go pick up this book and then we finally got
02:02:02.640 to talk about it right after the whole kanye west thing and the whole like name them stuff that
02:02:08.580 happened in that brief moment uh at the end of last year and now uh since the ye 2024 thing
02:02:17.720 faded away uh we're back to talk about this book in the midst of hashtag ban the adl on twitter or
02:02:25.980 x as musk likes to call it and we're recording on september 11th 2023 so um 9-11 is feeling
02:02:34.180 22 as taylor swift would say and here we are dimes how the hell are you i'm doing great it's
02:02:42.460 funny how we schedule these things because we'll schedule it like a couple weeks or however long
02:02:46.960 it is in advance and then it just so happened that the adl stop the adl hashtag was trending
02:02:52.540 that whole movement so it's a great time for it's very serendipitous i suppose and i'm very happy to
02:02:57.840 be here um i always have a great time on the show you're one of my my top creators that i like to
02:03:03.400 follow so this is a great honor to me well thanks you're probably some of the best in the great
02:03:08.620 white north out there and you guys always bring on good book reviews and interesting guests
02:03:12.380 i appreciated your appearance on jay burden the other week because dime spoke so little i think
02:03:17.080 that he's just this like alter ego that you've got going on oh judas yeah he's yeah yeah he's
02:03:22.820 he sometimes he i can be a bit of a blowhard so it's hard for him to like crowbars way in and
02:03:27.760 partly that's my fault um because because when he does get to talk everyone loves it like he's got
02:03:33.160 some he's got a whole the entire blood satellite fan base is behind him right now there's a coup
02:03:39.360 going on it for the sounds of it yeah i i remember your fans making dagoth er edits you know crimes
02:03:46.160 chat more like dimes chat yeah uh that's what you know the same thing with geo is there a war
02:03:52.400 between you and geo between the fans uh i mean geo geo engages in that parasocial shit way more
02:03:59.240 than i do i play as i play as the stereotypical straight man to geo's antics and i love him for
02:04:05.180 it so i'm sure that that would be the case um but i don't think about that very often i just think
02:04:11.260 about the fact that the show does well and it makes me money i often uh enjoyed geo's essays on
02:04:16.900 what's going on on twitter because i can't follow any of this shit he's got me into all like the
02:04:22.520 the weird the first time i heard about dimes square was from him i still don't even really
02:04:27.580 know what that is but he's the guy with the finger on the pulse of all that shit yeah i i rely on him
02:04:33.500 to explain things to me or he'll talk about twitter drama from like six years ago and i'm
02:04:38.160 like you have to explain for the new people in the room myself included so he he's very good as a
02:04:44.540 twitter historiographer for all things on the e-write or this thing of ours as people like to
02:04:50.220 say um but yeah i thought it was interesting that we're now in the midst of this ban the adl thing
02:04:56.960 and i was reading that uh you know they've been wanting to squeeze him for advertisers ever since
02:05:03.000 he's talked about buying and bought twitter but at the same time i think they're also advertising
02:05:08.360 the adl on twitter as well so it's rather to me it seems like what will probably come out of this
02:05:15.580 if at all anything would be ways in which you can get green blatt to step down and maybe put a more
02:05:23.800 quote-unquote moderate face of the adl up there and act as if nothing's changed or anything's
02:05:29.300 happened but at the same time as well yeah yeah but at the same time right i i saw a lot of the
02:05:34.940 headlines come in and this isn't to bash anybody by the way i want to make that clear as i state
02:05:40.140 this but i was just reading through some of the the band the adl stuff or musk threatening people
02:05:44.460 with the adl and you know yahoo finance and a few other you know news sources were just talking
02:05:50.460 about like yeah like he's replying to far-right guys and anti-semites like keith woods or whatever
02:05:56.420 And it's just like, I feel like that does more damage, I think, to advertisers than, you know, whatever the ADL might do, because they're just making the ADL's case for them, all these news articles and journalists. So, I mean, I would be the ADL being off Twitter to me would not do much in part because they're banned off Twitter. It's not like their organization has been debanked or, you know, structurally, you know, it's not like they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy or whatever.
02:06:24.440 It's the same thing with the SPLC. Like, if you wanted to take down those orgs, I mean, you got to get them to be in financial ruins. And that's when you need like a Peter Thiel gawker situation. That's what made the threat of a lawsuit so interesting, because Elon Musk is the world's richest man, like he could easily, you know, afford to take the hit to, you know, dump $22 billion into a lawsuit and bankrupt them.
02:06:47.120 but absolutely and i think you had hit the nail on the head by saying like i early on when this
02:06:53.460 was happening i was on the side of it because i don't like to just throw spears at things and i
02:06:59.480 said you know what this is good keith woods did what he he was kind of the head of it like he's
02:07:03.920 yeah he was again and i said he's and people are kind of getting on his case because oh he's not
02:07:08.680 going far enough i said no he did what he's supposed to do which is help get the conversation
02:07:12.920 going but i know where this is going to go and i was calling this days early and it came to pass
02:07:18.340 because it's obvious i'm i said what musk is doing is he doesn't really want to destroy the adl he
02:07:24.840 just wants them off his back so he's probably going to say something like the adl is a fantastic
02:07:30.120 organization that's been corrupted by the woke mind virus which is actually what he said and
02:07:35.060 then that will chart a pathway for the adl to redeem itself by switching out some of the top
02:07:40.020 executives and actually coming out the other end feeling stronger because oh we listened we learned
02:07:45.960 we're better now and then everyone will be happy now that's not keith woods's job to do that that's
02:07:51.200 actually our job our job is to getting the comments is to start tangential conversations by saying
02:07:57.420 actually the adl was always like this it was never a fantastic civil rights organization
02:08:03.360 then got corrupted by this thing called wokeness that you don't even know what it means anymore
02:08:08.100 so it's always trying to drag it back into its own history uh and unless unless people are willing
02:08:13.780 to do that that's kind of what this book was about in a lot of ways because it mentions the
02:08:17.860 formation of the adl unless we're willing to collectively do that then we know how this is
02:08:23.620 going to play out and it comes out the other end with adl being ironically stronger yeah absolutely
02:08:30.660 to me i think that i i know a lot of people want to do the justice for mary fagan thing and i'm
02:08:38.500 totally like it's a knee-jerk reaction i totally understand it i you know clearly that woman was
02:08:44.900 you know strangled raped mutilated um i think that the the overwhelming amount of evidence from how
02:08:51.640 people have portrayed the case you know it does make it look like hey um that you know leo frank's
02:08:56.920 the one who did it but as we were talking before we went live you had made a point saying that like
02:09:01.560 the the leo frank case is sort of an easy sidestep for adl apologetics to take place because they can
02:09:08.760 argue you know judicial mist you know mistrials or you know sort of abuse in the case and all
02:09:15.740 yada yada yada and i mean that doesn't get to the point that like throughout the adl's history
02:09:20.120 it's played a major role in upending and upheaving every sort of like wasp cultural norm and
02:09:28.040 institution in the united states since 1913 and its foundation yeah that's the more important part
02:09:34.860 the leo frank case is fascinating and a lot of people in our sectors are obsessed with it
02:09:40.480 rightfully so because it's very much an open and shut case everyone looks at it for five seconds
02:09:45.320 and know he was guilty and the more details you learn the more lurid the tale gets uh but it's it
02:09:51.700 would be easy and this is what they do it would be easy for them to sidestep it by saying look we
02:09:56.340 don't care if he's guilty we just felt we needed to defend him because there was a mistrial of
02:10:01.120 justice you we can we know where this goes but really the core of that story isn't so much them
02:10:09.420 like jumping to defend this right this innocent man who just so happened to be jewish to me the
02:10:14.700 story of that case and i say this because i think this will reverberate through the rest of the
02:10:19.820 episode it's that this was an interesting uh case where blacks and whites were united against a
02:10:26.100 common enemy because leo frank tried to blame a black person for murdering mary fagan and then
02:10:32.780 whites who are supposedly the most racist insanely you know evil people on earth were actually
02:10:38.900 defending the black guy and that's just not supposed to happen so that's what people wonder
02:10:44.120 well why did they spend something to the tune of 27 million dollars on this case for this guy who's
02:10:49.980 just kind of a nobody he's not a nobody but he's not like a celebrity but i really do think there's
02:10:55.280 a story at the heart of the leo frank case where what really got them scared was whites and blacks
02:11:01.240 united in some kind of in a way that they didn't expect and they had to like fight that somehow
02:11:08.140 because otherwise it sounds like a red they created a whole fucking organization to do this
02:11:13.980 they birthed uh a league to address this yeah and it's funny because we talk about coincidences and
02:11:22.440 you know how how funny it is that we we have a talk about this book every time something goes on
02:11:27.220 and you just mentioned uh you know black people uh you know being united in in such with whites
02:11:33.340 on this issue. And apparently, Cynthia McKinney, former congressman and 2008 presidential nominee
02:11:40.000 for the Green Party, had, you know, said, I know what where I'll be and what I'll be watching at
02:11:47.000 6 p.m. Eastern today. So apparently, David Duke and Ayo Kamathi, or best known as the irradiated
02:11:55.560 genie of Sofese, are saying, can black people and white people work together to defeat a common
02:12:01.380 enemy so you know i i guess lo and behold another coincidence for today's discussion
02:12:06.960 i mean really like you had mentioned at the top this book is written by a jewish activist who's
02:12:15.180 very very close to the issue and if you read reviews of the book and i would welcome people
02:12:19.920 to do it because there's other books on this topic from different perspectives one criticism
02:12:25.000 of the book is that freeman takes a very we might say pro-jewish stance on things or kind of skips
02:12:34.000 over certain parts of it i think that's why it's illuminating in my opinion you're hearing right
02:12:38.440 from the source of jewish activism how they viewed these instances and it's a unique opportunity to
02:12:45.540 read between the lines and if you if you understand what was going on at the time you'll see him
02:12:50.120 kind of skip over certain parts and certain race riots that are not friendly to the narrative,
02:12:55.620 because really at the heart of this book is the belief that Jews and Blacks can be united against
02:13:02.920 whites once again. That's really what the book's about. And the book ends on that sort of really
02:13:09.780 fearful concern that as non-white immigration comes to the United States and non-European
02:13:16.980 immigration you know fades to the wayside that the cultural memory of the holocaust will disappear
02:13:22.340 and that things are going to be awkward um to sort of navigate these relations especially for jews in
02:13:27.920 america and you've seen this before with other ethnic groups like i recall when biden first got
02:13:32.800 into the white house he had a meeting with black leaders and he was speaking with al sharpton and
02:13:37.000 he had made a point saying like whites are not going to be the majority in america for a long
02:13:41.140 time you know it's that their days are numbered for that for in terms of demographic majority
02:13:45.200 is you're gonna have to learn to get along with other groups because even then right like white
02:13:48.700 liberals know that like white guilt isn't gonna win forever because there are other groups that
02:13:53.320 don't like african-americans like puerto ricans and mexicans for example yeah but uh this book
02:13:59.180 also is really compounded as an illuminating read if you've read john murray cudahy's ordeal of
02:14:04.800 civility because once you sort of understand the the the the jewish concept of chosenness
02:14:10.000 especially in like more modern judaism or just jewish identity uh the relationship to how they
02:14:15.840 feel when it comes to uh civilization from other cultures that sensation of otherness
02:14:21.640 ethno-narcissism and sort of the knee-jerk reaction to defend one's kin like this book
02:14:27.540 is even more illuminating i think because you're trying to incorporate or enculturate
02:14:34.080 African-Americans into the Jewish ordeal of civility through these sort of common bond
02:14:40.640 connections like, you know, Moses in the book of Exodus and that, you know, we're also equally
02:14:46.420 being fought against in our own ways. You know, anti-Semitism is not all that different from
02:14:50.560 anti-black racism. And clearly it has its issues. And one of the things that we'll get into in the
02:14:56.760 book before we, you know, finish up this little intro here is, is that I recall, you know, did
02:15:02.480 you watch oppenheimer by chance i didn't i was gonna wait till it goes up on torrents and that's
02:15:07.720 not for any like moral or political reason i just i got a new uh baby that's like five months old it's
02:15:13.440 very hard to get to theaters right now but i do want to see it oh well i won't spoil the whole
02:15:19.020 thing for you but there is is japan okay uh i don't know i don't know if i want to spoil it
02:15:26.080 that much for you i don't know japan is not okay though by the way their prime minister told them
02:15:33.100 to have sex and they killed them so i don't think japan's all right but there's a point in the movie
02:15:39.680 where they're talking about oppenheimer being a fellow traveler in communist politics which was
02:15:44.640 the case for a lot of jews the 1930s 40s 50s and 60s uh still kind of is but you know he he just
02:15:52.160 says nope i'm a proud new deal democrat you know like i'm an fdr democrat and it's just sort of
02:15:58.480 this like weird like taxonomic language shift or it's like yeah but you're still a communist in a
02:16:04.580 lot of respects but i guess that means so we're the new deal democrats and you see throughout the
02:16:09.100 book that they're like well some jew group some jewish groups were like really into the marxism
02:16:14.760 and there were all these internal disputes so we wouldn't go too far to the left but then the
02:16:19.120 neocons were their own separate entity focused on foreign policy. And it's just like, but that
02:16:24.100 still doesn't address the rampant Trotskyism and communism inside these organizations that makes
02:16:29.360 these allegations that, you know, you're, you know, for instance, when we talk about like
02:16:34.180 Martin Luther King, like, you know, Levinson was associated with communists, he had communist
02:16:39.380 politics, like, these accusations are not untrue, as much as you want to skirt away from them,
02:16:45.060 either own up to it or in this case play defensively like we are here and before we
02:16:50.680 get any further we are talking about what went wrong the creation of the collapse of the black
02:16:54.400 jewish alliance by murray friedman published in 1995 uh we talked about it um probably like six
02:16:59.500 months ago um but we're here to hopefully finish the book so we'll get into it there i think we
02:17:05.220 left off right around the formation of the adl um and uh i feel like we just said i don't think
02:17:12.560 we need to go too much into the Leo Frank case. I feel like most people are kind of familiar with
02:17:16.040 it, but that was sort of the flagship moment for more, you know, organized Jewish political
02:17:24.820 activity in the United States. And it had only grown from there in 1913 onward.
02:17:30.680 Absolutely. And you touched on something just there that I think is an important thread that's
02:17:35.260 going to weave its way through this entire episode, because the first part of this, I think,
02:17:40.120 had its own nice encapsulated story of how many Jews saw their relationship with blacks in the
02:17:46.920 very very early formations of these relationships in America and this segment and for the rest of
02:17:52.820 the book I really think the through line is the radicalism and the actual the break as it were
02:18:01.080 between the blacks and the Jews how that happened and what you had just mentioned I thought was very
02:18:05.900 poignant which is that you know a lot of these people we might call marxist or anyone would
02:18:11.300 call marxist wouldn't call themselves marxist and that's something you see to this day um if you
02:18:16.740 are all tuned into these circles of leftists most of us would just call them communists but they're
02:18:22.780 like no i'm actually progressive no i'm not a marxist i'm a trotskyist no i'm just like i'm
02:18:27.720 like a new deal democrat but it's all if you break it down point by point a lot of them are just
02:18:33.760 basically marxists anyway and this book is full of that where they talk about like all these these
02:18:39.860 jewish intellectuals who are like supposed to be completely diverse but they were the ones
02:18:45.500 engineering the infiltration of communism in the era and this was the era of communist infiltration
02:18:53.100 in american culture everyone was hyper aware of it everyone was on the lookout for it but you know
02:18:58.980 there's other movies that kind of dance around this like trumbo with and other movies where
02:19:05.040 like the red scare and it's like oh that's yeah good night and good luck comes to mind especially
02:19:08.960 yeah that's just code for anti-semitism like they get that it just so happened that the people who
02:19:15.420 were fingered for these these infiltrations just happened to be mostly jews and like you can't
02:19:20.460 get rid of that story from this and there is a story also at the heart of this book which is that
02:19:26.160 the story of black nationalist movements and their radicalization through communism and and we'll
02:19:33.280 get to this in a bit but it's like the wrestling of trying to make them communist but also not
02:19:38.260 racially aware but also make them racially aware against whites and it's it's this tension that i
02:19:44.180 think blew up in their face and it's still blow and that and point is it hasn't been resolved i
02:19:49.160 think that's what's so interesting this book as you're reading it you'll recognize a lot of
02:19:54.600 parallels from like 1995 or even the seventies, it's still essentially the same. And correct me
02:20:01.080 if I'm wrong, but I still see the relationship is fundamentally broken. We're kind of still
02:20:06.220 talking about the same stuff. The black community and the Jewish community have the exact same
02:20:10.440 problems. And those, those black radical groups haven't really changed much either.
02:20:17.640 Yeah, absolutely. Cause there are multiple times throughout this book where I'm like writing in
02:20:22.320 the margins or i'm just like this feels really familiar or like this hasn't changed or oh this
02:20:27.840 makes sense based off some other recent news story that we can get into and it was this really bizarre
02:20:33.540 like deja vu for me going through the history and seeing that really it has been this conflict
02:20:38.540 frozen in time since the 1970s and it's you know the final chapter of this book is called the ghost
02:20:45.140 of marcus garvey and or garvey's ghosts and it's particularly interesting because they still go
02:20:51.820 back to that even in the even when he wrote this in the 1990s like we're still going back to marcus
02:20:55.800 garvey and we're still talking about black nationalism and taking the concept of like
02:21:00.040 zionism but putting it for african americans and you know we talk about it now because like in the
02:21:07.300 1920s and the last time we talked about the book you know there was a lot of jewish store owners
02:21:12.140 in like new york city and outside of harlem and in harlem as alongside property managers as well
02:21:17.920 landlords that were jewish renting to black tenants and they couldn't stand them and now
02:21:22.960 that sort of like the immigration the demographics has changed uh one of the things that he points
02:21:26.860 out in the books is that like even when there's hostility to uh asian store owners because i'll
02:21:32.200 like say like jews had their own version of white flight that you know there there was a saying they
02:21:37.200 interviewed some black guy and they said well behind every oriental is just a jew and it was
02:21:41.420 like there's still these cultural and historical you know fights that have not gone away and so
02:21:47.760 this book is like a really good summary of a frozen ethnic conflict that really does only
02:21:54.660 come to work together tentatively when it is to sort of like bash like the white man or or the
02:22:00.860 system or to get more particular money for for programs or for their own government grants for
02:22:07.240 their own organizations and so yeah i mean like this book is a it's a really fantastic and you
02:22:12.140 can get this on internet archive um you can get a paperback or a hardcover copy i think for like
02:22:17.600 30 bucks on amazon if you want to hunt it down it's one of those books that is like i think our
02:22:22.800 friend bennett's philactery on twitter said you know a book is banned when it's like a thousand
02:22:26.320 dollars for a hard copy on amazon not this burned book shit that you see in like barnes and noble
02:22:31.840 and this is one of those books that i think is slowly turning into a banned book because it's
02:22:35.540 just not being published anymore but it really is uh a great historiography for this stuff and
02:22:41.560 um yeah i just that that's i think a really good summary for what this book is that these are the
02:22:48.700 best types of banned books where they started off as like liberal books and now it's just
02:22:53.300 inconvenient like we're not supposed to know this stuff this this is back when liberals and
02:22:58.520 progressives were speaking more openly about what they wanted or what their beliefs are and you're
02:23:02.840 not they're not supposed to believe that now so there's a few books like this i think i mentioned
02:23:07.900 And if I mention this on the last episode, I forgive, forgive me.
02:23:12.180 But on our show years and years ago, we covered two books back to back.
02:23:16.860 One of them was the infamous Culture of Critique by Kevin MacDonald, which everyone's familiar with.
02:23:22.920 Fantastic book.
02:23:23.940 And right after that, and that's been banned off Amazon since forever, banned everywhere.
02:23:28.660 You know what kills me about that?
02:23:30.120 You know where I bought my copy of Culture of Critique?
02:23:32.420 Where?
02:23:33.420 Books a Million.
02:23:35.240 I thought I was going to say at the synagogue.
02:23:36.740 that'd be a fun uh way to drop it yeah i would love to explain to my jewish friends why i have
02:23:44.140 a giant icon of the virgin mary written by me um yeah absolutely the other book right after that
02:23:51.960 was one called jewish power by jj goldberg positively reviewed by the former prime minister
02:23:58.940 of israel and what i found was that both these books one celebrated one band was they said
02:24:04.120 essentially the same thing and jewish power you can get this anywhere and you can get a cheap
02:24:08.920 paperback version it was outlining the proliferation of jewish interest groups in america throughout
02:24:14.240 the 20th century something that to the tune of over 250 and he seemed to agree with kevin mcdonald
02:24:22.180 on every single point that kevin mcdonald was making why they're doing it the existence of
02:24:26.440 these groups the power that they have the pressure groups they only differed in one respect and i
02:24:32.340 always come back to this, that J.J. Goldberg said that Jews need these groups because Europeans are
02:24:39.180 randomly hostile to them. So they will admit that, yes, we have these groups. Yes, they're
02:24:44.480 to serve our interests. Yes, we pressure European-ness out because we believe that
02:24:50.780 is hostile to us, and you've proven that over the course of the 20th century. So I just found that
02:24:55.280 interesting that the only difference is the justification that, oh, we actually do have
02:24:59.700 cause to hate you know white culture european culture or be fearful of it at least and i think
02:25:05.720 that also runs through the dna of this book that you'll see there's one line that uh he has later
02:25:13.480 on the book where he's talking we'll get to later i don't want to get too far ahead of myself but
02:25:18.360 we can get started now on the actual book yeah no i i haven't read uh jewish power and it's just
02:25:25.620 kind of funny because it's like jj goldberg was for the longest time the editor of the jewish
02:25:31.400 newspaper the forward um you know and wrote for numerous other jewish publications but
02:25:36.200 uh yeah let's just dive into it i mean so we kind of wrapped up around um chapter let me just say
02:25:42.760 i tried to search up right now jj goldberg to get an image and all i got was goldberg the wrestler
02:25:47.900 so be careful out there oh i i literally typed in j dot j dot goldberg and i got what i wanted
02:25:56.020 apparently but yeah juju goldberg that just searched the full name that might just work
02:26:03.060 actually you never know that's that might just work but yeah so i mean chapter we we really
02:26:10.480 just went through the 1920s and 30s um you know last time and we have like the rest of the 20th
02:26:17.020 century to go into but um you know it was particularly interesting so chapter five is
02:26:22.860 called blacks and jews as allies in the arts and social sciences and this is about you know
02:26:28.780 expanding reach and publication for um black and jewish newspapers um you know for instance james
02:26:37.540 baldwin uh had famously been more read in jewish journals and jewish newspapers before his sort of
02:26:44.580 rise to prominent fame in the national scale and that's partially because of those publications
02:26:49.140 because he was mainly published there whereas in comparison to you know say white writers or
02:26:56.160 asian writers you know like so he became the most read black intellectual or black author
02:27:00.900 because of this relationship but you know you you begin to see these relationships between um
02:27:08.840 you know in commentary and the new leader james baldwin and this isn't paid 113 for me
02:27:14.480 So in 1948, after Baldwin's first important piece, The Harlem Ghetto, appeared in Commentary, the magazine of the American Jewish Committee, Nathan Glazer, then a member of Commentary's editorial board, wrote of the board's pleasure that a remarkable young black writer, how remarkable we didn't know, had come to the magazine.
02:27:32.060 The editors of Commentary, in a much more Jewish magazine than it is today, suggested that Baldwin write something about blacks and Jews, and Baldwin agreed to do so.
02:27:41.800 The young Reinder found it difficult to deal with anti-Semitism in Harlem, but Warshaw forced him to confront the issue squarely.
02:27:48.520 Baldwin found Warshaw to be an extraordinary editor who taught him you had to force from your experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it could possibly give, end quote.
02:27:57.920 Baldwin's piece on Harlem is one of the first serious explorations of Black-Jewish relations.
02:28:02.440 He wrote deep empathy for both groups.
02:28:04.700 Quote, the Negro identifies himself almost wholly with the Jew.
02:28:08.100 The image of the suffering Christ and the suffering Jew are wedded in the image of the suffering slave, end quote.
02:28:14.320 But then Baldwin turned to the harsh reality of life in Harlem.
02:28:17.480 There, Jews were small tradesmen, rent collectors, real estate agents, pawnbrokers, and then followed the American tradition of exploiting Negroes, and became identified with oppression, where they were hated for it.
02:28:30.180 Just as society must have a scapegoat, so the hatred must have a symbol.
02:28:33.760 georgia has the negro but the negro but harlem has the jews and yeah and just right there you
02:28:39.580 see the little rhetorical sleight of hand he does he does this throughout the not him but this
02:28:44.400 the writer in question um they were just small tradesmen rent collectors and they followed the
02:28:49.380 american tradition of exploiting negroes like they will frequently he'll frequently say that
02:28:54.440 well the jews are just trying to fit in like it was really like white people who enslaved them
02:28:59.400 we just well what do we sort of do we just want to be landlords and of course we of course we have
02:29:04.000 to exploit the blacks because you know because white people bullied us into it he does this
02:29:09.280 repeatedly in the book and it really sorry to interrupt you're trying to talk about that really
02:29:12.700 no no that's a really good point because you see this as the even the writer marie friedman
02:29:19.360 sees this where it's just like they don't understand we're not white and it's that
02:29:23.720 schrodinger's minority thing that people kind of do when it comes to the issue of like jewish
02:29:27.720 relations and say like more whiter european societies or relations to other groups is
02:29:32.880 because a lot of them especially african americans or blacks in general do view them to be like oh
02:29:38.260 they've just assimilated they're just like the white man they're just like the oppressor
02:29:41.420 and they're like no no no no no you you have to understand we're this we're the secret other
02:29:45.700 third thing we're not black we're not white we're jews um it's just like that's how he's got a
02:29:52.840 moment of clarity in the book i remember at one point i think this might have been even earlier
02:29:56.520 where he says something to the tune of black people would identify with anyone they thought
02:30:02.880 could represent oppression so in a way he's right but he said like like the black nationalist
02:30:07.620 movement at various points would look at like the irish or jews or the japanese or whatever but
02:30:13.940 and what you saw i mentioned this earlier when i said like it hasn't changed over time but
02:30:18.500 what you've noticed and this will sound very coarse but it's true that a lot of black nationalists just
02:30:24.060 steal shit so for example i think the best thing that ever happened in modern times was black
02:30:29.940 people just saying that they're jews now like they they just internalize like we we're going
02:30:34.900 to identify with other oppressed people around the world so much that we're just going to say
02:30:39.880 we're them so and a lot like the black israelites are like yeah no actually black people are the
02:30:44.620 original jews so we're just we're just taking being jewish now and i think like the seeds of
02:30:50.700 that started with this started like black people looking around like who can we identify with and
02:30:54.400 it's like well how about everybody how about you're also irish and that's what we've seen
02:30:58.360 throughout like the 2010s of them just saying yeah by the way black people are all of the
02:31:02.620 oppressed people ever yeah absolutely and it and it's kind of funny how it emerges because you have
02:31:10.260 the black hebrew israel this that actually is not a lot about at all in this book which is
02:31:16.520 particularly interesting that you because they were back that they were starting around that
02:31:20.800 time too he would be aware of it the earliest you know it starts with two black guys named
02:31:26.340 frank cherry and william saunders saunders crowdy and they had started uh you know this claim they
02:31:32.920 said that they had revelations from god himself that you know black americans are the actual
02:31:37.760 true descendants of the hebrews in the christian bible and they started this church i think called
02:31:42.800 um i wish i could remember something called like the church of god and his saints
02:31:47.100 and like in 1898 or whatever and you know they said that um you know jesus was real he is the
02:31:55.560 son of the living god but the talmud is authoritative and oh by the way christ returns
02:32:00.560 in like the year 2000 um which is like you know weird right um to say the least right for anyone
02:32:09.480 who's got that uh that sort of strange position um with religion you know at least they so they
02:32:16.460 maintained their like you know christianity but they also like said that the he you know the the
02:32:22.140 jews after the you know christian church is established have got some good things going for
02:32:26.240 them and oh by the way um we're also really interested in freemasonry so it's this weird
02:32:32.360 separate other thing right um but it became sort of this very niche black church and it ends up
02:32:40.880 moving from you know i think it started out in kansas and it moves to brooklyn in the 1930s
02:32:47.200 and so that's where you get a uh israelite rabbinical seminary where black hebrews you
02:32:54.760 know they call themselves are ordained and educated and so they've got all sorts of issues there um
02:33:01.620 but you know that's been a big part about their their fight with jewish identity as well so that
02:33:07.680 they don't identify with the you know non-black jews but at this time they're not they don't
02:33:14.740 believe in christianity but they maintain its elements yeah in terms of religious formation
02:33:19.740 this would be akin to robbing a store but then stealing a bike on the way out as well
02:33:25.700 yeah just taking a bunch of people's different stuff in one clean movement and and it's very
02:33:32.800 interesting to see how that because what one of the biggest things that they really that murray
02:33:38.440 friedman in this book and he and this is just found as a subtext throughout the entirety of
02:33:43.880 the book is is that they don't know what to do on the religious issue because i mean that's where
02:33:51.840 the ordeal of civility really helps expand my appreciation for this book, because, you know,
02:33:57.100 Marie Friedman's Jewish, whether he's practicing or not, like he identifies with the people.
02:34:02.120 And so by extension, he kind of keeps the tenets of the faith. But at the same time,
02:34:07.200 you know, African-American Christianity is so widely, it's, I would already, it's far more
02:34:12.000 philo-Semitic than how I understand Christianity, because that was an interesting point in time
02:34:18.080 when you read Cudahy's take on on the ordeal of civility and he's just like well you know there's
02:34:24.480 some philo-semitism in Christianity and I'm like whatever philo-semitism exists in quote-unquote
02:34:28.640 Christianity stands in opposition to the gospel and furthermore it uh the entire history of the
02:34:35.580 Christian church has been this war with whatever has survived the Talmudic tradition against like
02:34:40.940 the Christian church and its doctrine and its organization and institutions but neither here
02:34:46.360 there. But like in this book, Murray Friedman sort of highlights, well, what do we do with this?
02:34:52.280 Like we can use the Exodus imagery very well to free our people out of slavery. But then once you
02:34:58.820 get this introduction of Marcus Garvey, the sort of black nationalism, we'll repatriate, we'll take
02:35:05.540 over, we'll get our own independent state, we're going to learn from the Jews. And then you have
02:35:09.940 the introduction of the Nation of Islam and Louis Vuitton and these ideas there. And this is
02:35:15.600 something that of course james baldwin had famously wrote about in the you know discussion
02:35:21.080 with the nation of islam saying that like actually no the black man you know has been using white
02:35:26.480 man's christianity as a way to keep them humble and to keep them under the thumb of the white man
02:35:32.220 using the white man's god and it's a particularly and so groups that took on to that sort of mantra
02:35:39.060 again the nation of islam or the anti-zionist positions of a lot of other black groups
02:35:44.280 Friedman highlights this weird ethno-religious tension that oh maybe we can't use this exodus
02:35:52.160 thing forever and I'm really concerned what's going to happen when blacks become totally
02:35:58.900 divorced from Christianity like there is a small there's a very large portion of Christian blacks
02:36:03.660 in America like that's very true black churches are a whole other ball game for whatever you're
02:36:08.880 used to with mainline Protestantism but like yeah you know there is a large group that are like that
02:36:14.040 you know they can even be pro-christian blacks but even then they're like free palestine and we
02:36:19.840 see this later on in the whole andrew young affair which to me is one of the interesting
02:36:23.500 chapters in this book but we'll get into it later um but yeah my feeling and this is more of a
02:36:30.140 subtext and i see this to this day love jewish intellectuals is i don't think they take black
02:36:37.180 christianity seriously because i don't think they take black people seriously that's really the
02:36:42.120 headline of this book which is that these black people don't know what's good for them and what
02:36:46.820 however you feel about black people that's one thing you know i know a lot of listeners of our
02:36:50.740 show have their opinions but there is a very paternalistic tone and i think they look at
02:36:55.920 black christianity as like oh they're just fans of it like they're not really christian so we can
02:37:01.520 dabble in that and they were always convinced that they could like jailbreak black people
02:37:07.000 out of Christianity because they didn't get it or something like that. And I still think they
02:37:12.100 think that. And that's, you know, the proliferation of the nation of Islam is just another kind of
02:37:17.120 example of that. But really, there's this line in the book, I'm trying to find it in my notes,
02:37:22.020 but I think it was related to the Vietnam War. And it was about how Jewish radical groups were
02:37:28.680 campaigning against war against the Vietnam War and against American interventionalism.
02:37:33.100 and there was a shockingly low amount of black people who were polled who were against uh leaving
02:37:40.920 the war like at this time black people were still very you know at least the main line they were
02:37:46.120 still very pro-america they weren't anti-america yet and i think there is some kind of correlation
02:37:52.380 between how much a lot of these communist pressure groups were able to wedge black people away from
02:38:00.920 being pro-american that they became third worldist and that third worldism led them right into the
02:38:07.180 nation of islam or anything exotic sort of this odd pan-africanism that's all of it's very poorly
02:38:12.800 understood but it's just what happens when you just crowbar them off of american patriotism and
02:38:19.040 let them go then but then they go in wild directions and that's kind of where you are now
02:38:23.260 where the last thing they want to be is pro-america at least like the young maybe there's some older
02:38:28.220 generations especially veterans who are still like that but you know i think even they know
02:38:33.460 that the winds have turned and i think that like one of the stories in this book is that
02:38:37.960 the jews kind of got everything they wanted they got their you know we talked this before the show
02:38:43.040 whether or not this is too crude but they made their golems they made their golems of people
02:38:47.140 that they thought would help them in their socio-political cause but they lost control
02:38:52.720 of them they lost that's what this whole book is about that the black jewish alliance
02:38:57.240 the entire first episode we did was showing that they were never really friends to begin with
02:39:02.460 and we're kind of talking about how they're not really friends now so the black jewish alliance
02:39:06.800 was like this little fucking 20-year pocket there where there were jewish people were just
02:39:12.300 puppeting black people to get precisely what they wanted and that window of time closed and now
02:39:17.620 what happened it was so good it's like no it wasn't you know you just you lost control of
02:39:23.380 them and now you kind of don't know what you're doing that's my take on it i'd be curious to hear
02:39:27.560 what you think yeah no i i noticed that and i again i just read this book again over the course
02:39:33.900 of the weekend so i've got the the second half of the book much more fresh in my brain but like
02:39:38.240 there they noticed that once these more after martin luther king like the central core tenant
02:39:44.700 figure that did have a close relationship with you know various jewish groups is you know not
02:39:51.280 to mention like levinson and so on but i mean like you know you had um abraham herschel and uh
02:39:58.220 you know these sort of memorial services in the 60s and they're this close relationship there
02:40:05.040 but i mean even friedman's just like look the civil rights movement was the zenith of the black
02:40:11.340 jewish relationship and after that it goes really downhill because after martin luther king
02:40:14.780 who really begins who were all these emerging factions because after king's assassination all
02:40:20.520 these various groups about what is the future of like black you know identity and black you know
02:40:28.180 civil rights movements where do you go so you have everything from like louis farrakhan or more you
02:40:32.900 know or jesse jackson you know the operation breadbasket in chicago i mean the the destruction
02:40:39.900 absolute you know utter devastation of the southern christian leadership conference after
02:40:45.560 he resigned in 71 because like nothing was getting done it was mired by internal politics
02:40:50.200 No one got along. And so, you know, Friedman's just like, really, that shows us that Jewish relations to blacks in America is about who are we more closely aligned with in these cults of personality, you know, and that's what made and you saw this really manifest in its tensions between the president of the United States, Barack Obama and Jewish America.
02:41:15.760 and i'm not even talking about garrows like duck you know his biography about obama and like his
02:41:21.660 his ex-girlfriend or whatever before he married um michelle michael whatever about a great story
02:41:27.780 too i just read that recently yeah where he's just like well i i'm more supportive to my race than
02:41:32.900 you know allegations of anti-semitism and we saw this even in his foreign policy with israel because
02:41:37.660 benjamin netanyahu hates barack obama and we have to famously remember that barack obama did send
02:41:43.080 political operatives in to interfere with the israeli election to get netanyahu ousted and it's
02:41:49.160 sort of this echoes of the andrew young affair where like you don't want like this likehood you
02:41:54.980 know hard right you know jewish nationalism and i mean like it reflected quite clearly in the
02:42:00.840 politics of barack obama and his own concept of black identity and so yeah the the 20-year period
02:42:08.220 is really there and so you know you know stokely carmichael malcolm x jesse jackson l sharp and
02:42:16.100 everything that sort of emerges after and during martin luther king's time kind of illustrates
02:42:20.700 that like we we can use each other for mutual ends but when we're done with this i'm gonna go
02:42:26.620 my way and you're gonna go your way and our ability to have any sort of relationship is
02:42:31.360 gonna just disappear really fast and that that's where to me that the book really takes the
02:42:37.360 interesting turns is witnessing the destruction of this inter-ethnic relationship that really
02:42:44.000 wasn't a two-way street because you know we noticed that mlk you know and when we talk about
02:42:50.500 him all of his sort of more jewish advisors were saying like listen you have to be moderate you
02:42:56.200 can't be a radical you can't demand immediate action and it has this very like if there we
02:43:02.000 talk about communism again one of the things that really strikes out to me and it's in i think
02:43:05.580 chapter six of this book where they learned a lesson from british fabianism you know
02:43:13.040 incremental changes by changing popular and public opinion in a democracy because that's a lot more
02:43:20.660 effective i think as we've learned than the 1920s red scare kind of communism where we're going to
02:43:27.000 just like bomb shit and we're going to like try and kill people and we saw that again in the 1970s
02:43:32.020 like the Weather Underground and other groups. But what got leftism more hurried along? It was
02:43:37.800 legal victories and public awareness campaigns to get people associated with the idea that we
02:43:44.780 can all get along. And so you get organizations like the American Jewish Congress and the ADL
02:43:49.540 working with the NAACP about how we can fight hate, how we can fight segregation, how we can
02:43:56.540 encourage integration um but again you know if as long as it serves mutual ends that's fine but
02:44:02.740 the moment we run into like i'm gonna fight for my guy you're gonna fight for your guy we can't
02:44:07.520 work together anymore that classic kind of once there's that line of exception you know on really
02:44:14.180 on ethnic lines that schmidtian friend enemy distinction makes itself very known very quickly
02:44:19.840 Yeah. And on page in that same chapter, chapter six, he's got a quote from Stephen D. Isaacs, where he says, after World War Two, Jews were overcome with a, quote, religio-cultural obsession with the equalitarian ideal.
02:44:35.400 And this is, like you said, where they start ramping up the creation of NGOs, just like the the Jewish Congress.
02:44:42.740 And he makes a point here that the angle they were taking during this time, and I think for the succeeding decades, was they were planning an attack on racial identity explicitly to further their own interests, specifically what they were targeting through psychology.
02:45:01.420 because you know psychology and psychiatry was starting to get more mainstream acceptance they
02:45:06.840 started targeting what they called authority authoritarian personalities or the psychological
02:45:12.540 profiles of people who want to control things so there's like this broad movement in the interest
02:45:19.080 of equality targeting people who who seem like they want to control things which would be people
02:45:24.580 who are interested in hierarchies so you can kind of see this graph very easily onto liberalism as
02:45:30.520 well but it was completely through the conduit of psychiatry and these ngos which were put
02:45:36.600 pushing all these like bogus papers you start seeing all these like studies and studies and
02:45:42.140 papers emerge about the types of people who discriminate and how evil they are a lot of it
02:45:48.180 was just there's a story here later on about how it's like all the the biggest uh study
02:45:53.860 and a lot of people will remember this it was about introducing kids of different races to
02:46:00.660 dolls of different races and it proved that there's the entire idea of internalized racism was
02:46:08.500 forwarded by this uh jewish scientist who noticed that exactly that the black kids didn't like
02:46:16.280 playing with the black dolls and they'd like playing the white dolls which means it's the
02:46:19.480 internalized racism total bullshit not proven at all but that persists in the zeitgeist to this
02:46:26.260 day and it was made back then so there's all this shit that was drummed up made of whole made of
02:46:31.040 whole cloth back then that still it's on the top of everyone's mind it's it's baffling yeah that's
02:46:39.300 in the chapter the origins of the civil rights revolution there were a few things that really
02:46:43.620 stuck out to me in this chapter and so this is on page 144 for those who have a copy of the book
02:46:48.360 and you're listening and following along.
02:46:50.020 The American Jewish Congress established in 1945
02:46:52.160 the Commission of Law and Social Action, CLSA,
02:46:55.040 under Will Maslow and Alexander Pichelis.
02:46:58.400 In an essay that year,
02:46:59.700 Full Equality and a Free Society,
02:47:01.180 Pichelis wrote that American Jews will find more reasons
02:47:03.620 to take an affirmative attitude towards being Jews
02:47:06.400 if they are part and parcel of a great American human force
02:47:10.400 working to better the world,
02:47:11.980 whether or not the individual issues involved
02:47:15.140 touch directly upon so-called Jewish interests.
02:47:17.780 The tradition and the fate of Israel are inducibly bound to those forces of liberalism. But later on, there's this section here where he says, Pekalas believed that anti-Semitism in the United States, unlike that of Tsarist Russia, had its roots in private governments, by which he means aggregations of power in giant corporations, large universities, real estate boards, professional associations.
02:47:40.600 So accordingly, in 1945, the American Jewish Congress opened fire on Columbia University.
02:47:46.080 But to me, what he's really saying here is that American Jews really don't like private covenants and freedom of association, which kind of ties in very well for the Civil Rights Act.
02:47:55.820 Because, I mean, we've seen the absolute destruction of freedom of association in this country.
02:48:00.480 Yeah. And conservatives have been beating their head against that wall ever since.
02:48:04.800 Like, why won't they just let us hang out with who we want to hang out with?
02:48:08.280 and they're still doing that to this day it's like you know you should be able to free it's
02:48:12.320 that's been a losing battle since the 60s because you have these well-moneyed and well-funded
02:48:17.780 organizations who are trying to sell you a story that that's anti-american
02:48:23.120 yeah and they they also will call you a racist bigot and an anti-semite if you if you do so and
02:48:30.040 so americans are like we just want to be left alone and it's just like you're never going to
02:48:33.760 get that because that's been legally both you know both de facto and as you're just like taken
02:48:39.300 away from you and unless you're willing to acknowledge that and that might require you
02:48:42.760 to get called a bigot you're never going to win that battle but the yeah he talks about the um
02:48:48.360 this the psychology aspect of it here you know we we talk about um i mean famously i think a lot of
02:48:55.720 people in our circles might know like the frank boaz thing you know sort of a the clean blank slate
02:49:00.580 of human anthropology. We saw that with the rise of Jewish and Catholic anthropologists and
02:49:06.180 sociologists that were more likely to take the blank slate idea rather than maybe an HBD take
02:49:12.160 in the 1950s. But that Ruth Horowitz story about self-hatred is cited in Brown v. Board of Education
02:49:20.920 in 1954, along with some other studies. But even Friedman's like, listen, that Ruth Horowitz study
02:49:27.160 from 1939 doesn't really hold up to snuff. And then you see others, you know, talking about the
02:49:33.460 authoritarian personality was being published. Clark completed a six-month study for the American
02:49:39.300 Jewish Committee on the impact of, you know, studies on, you know, self, you know, on the
02:49:45.700 idea of racism, which of course has its own issues. But all of this to me illustrates that
02:49:51.740 like the 1950s, you see this rise of, well, if we can use egalitarian equality, liberal ends,
02:49:58.660 we can sort of get two birds with one stone here from both ethnic groups. And once you begin to
02:50:04.860 see that, it really gets heated as they try and take on the fallout of the Civil Rights Act and
02:50:12.360 the Civil Rights Movement. Well, how do we make sure that like rioting or ethnic resentment
02:50:18.460 towards white people doesn't fall back on us. And what's interesting is that, so there's some
02:50:24.460 claims, especially on our side, that absent the Jews, that none of these things would have come
02:50:31.100 to pass. For me, it's difficult to draw a firm line between what parts of these movements are
02:50:38.480 just Jewish influence and what parts are just liberalism kind of evolving over time. And what
02:50:44.620 you see in a lot of these cases and brown versus the board of education is a good one and maybe we
02:50:49.860 can dive into this if you'd like but uh the one thing that stood out to me was that a lot of black
02:50:57.160 teachers in that entire catastrophe they were against it because they thought well this will
02:51:04.480 threaten my job like we actually like segregated schools because it means black teachers there's
02:51:08.740 more schools you know if we get rid of these schools if they're illegal then we'll have fewer
02:51:12.820 schools and a lot of black teachers will lose their jobs. And so in a lot of these cases where
02:51:17.620 they're sort of civil rights flashpoints, it seemed to be that the blacks were more on the
02:51:22.560 side of incremental change. They're like, okay, let's not be crazy. We just want a few things
02:51:27.380 here and there. And oftentimes, not all the time, but oftentimes these Jewish groups came in and
02:51:33.040 wanted to supercharge and said, no, you're not being radical enough. Or there's times when the
02:51:37.100 blacks were partnering with the whites and said, no, don't partner with them. You need to be on
02:51:40.600 your own or with us or you know i mean like there there's a case to be made that without these
02:51:46.560 pressure groups america would look very very different than it is today it might not be exactly
02:51:53.460 where it is but it's like maybe these battles would have been a bit more incremental and a more
02:51:57.420 a steadier balance would have been struck maybe closer to something like this people often look
02:52:03.040 to the south as you know whites and blacks have slightly better relationships there so maybe it
02:52:07.460 be something closer to that. You might actually have more of a segregated America if it was up
02:52:12.520 to whites and blacks, just them. I'd like to hear what your thoughts on that are, but that seemed to
02:52:17.980 be a pattern I saw with some of these flashpoints. Yeah, no, I think that there's a good nugget to
02:52:24.900 examine there because I don't, for instance, I was listening to a lecture from Don Livingston
02:52:31.300 of the abbeville institute and he was offering uh a rather interesting claim about race relations
02:52:38.820 in the south you know saying that like listen as the war went on you know the the war of 1861
02:52:45.180 continued like there was calls for you know freeing blacks and to have blacks serve and earn
02:52:52.900 their freedom that way and some might find that absolutely radical that they were their property
02:52:56.620 But the logic for a lot of like Confederate legislators, of course, most famously, the Jewish member of the Confederate government and assistant to the president, you know, at the time he had said, Judah P. Benjamin, he's just like, well, really, our logic is that they would fight for their homeland, not their master, but their home.
02:53:14.600 the south was their home and so you know and there's the the rumored and alleged story that
02:53:20.300 some try to debunk some say that isn't that you know famously there's a story where um after the
02:53:25.760 war ends robert e lee is at an episcopal church in the south and as they approach the communion
02:53:31.620 table a black man you know he lets the black guy go first um rather than himself as sort of this
02:53:37.440 like sense of honor or belongingness and so his thesis was is that listen had the south you know
02:53:43.540 become its own independent state or had we not dealt with the tyranny of reconstruction race
02:53:49.000 relations between whites and blacks would be a lot different in the south and i mean they
02:53:51.960 fundamentally are different in the south than they are in the north and i mean there are multiple
02:53:56.080 studies that even total dickheads like richard hanania or richard haust you know would like to
02:54:01.840 say that like well you know more you know people don't like blacks the further north they get up
02:54:07.500 the great movement north of black flight after the 1940s and 50s. But to me, we probably would
02:54:16.240 have a much different race relations there. I mean, people naturally segregate. People try to
02:54:23.280 figure out that question time and time again, like, why do all the black kids sit at the same
02:54:26.040 table? Because we all want to be with our own kind. That's a natural tendency that has been
02:54:30.720 thoroughly eliminated for a lot of mainly white people um like because white liberals hate
02:54:37.100 themselves and they they're so xenophilic and there's more than enough studies to conclude
02:54:41.340 that but it's very interesting to see had all these organizations not exist i mean like we
02:54:47.760 talked about in the last section that you know when the naacp was created you know most of its
02:54:52.140 board and its chair people were jews for the longest time and you know if that if those
02:54:58.280 organizations that exist will we see more of a black nationalist attitude would we see more of
02:55:02.880 a okay you're gonna have your black school we're gonna have more hbcus we're we're gonna have our
02:55:08.240 you know primaries or whatever that are white like would it be that way maybe um but again
02:55:14.160 those are those kind of questions it's like asking you know what would it be like if adam and eve
02:55:17.940 never fell to corruption you know like we'll we'll never know but i do think we wouldn't have
02:55:22.700 podcasting at all i bet oh yeah i'd i'd imagine um i'd imagine that we'd uh be in a much different
02:55:31.420 place than we are today i guess there might just be one podcast yeah one podcast um no no that's
02:55:40.060 as you're describing that i keep getting this image in my mind and it's some people will think
02:55:44.640 this is just a flight of fancy but um i know a lot of people who are very deep into american history
02:55:50.220 have have similar thoughts on this but i'm like the the story of whites versus blacks in america
02:55:57.280 it's like two people at a table having a very tense negotiation and then a rabbi just like
02:56:03.040 drops two knives between them it says go go now it's like what could have happened if these
02:56:09.480 these conflicts and there's been there's so many in the 60s and the 50s and the 40s like what would
02:56:14.720 have happened if that negotiation was like allowed to happen on different terms like we'll never know
02:56:20.200 but unfortunately it's difficult to even imagine that looking at the race relations of 2023
02:56:27.360 like it does seem like peering back into a different world like we're not dealing with the
02:56:32.160 same types of people anymore so i don't i don't want people to get the wrong idea like i don't
02:56:37.200 even think if we were granted the idea for some kind of some kind of negotiation like that it
02:56:44.440 would probably end in some kind of national divorce which i don't think would ever really
02:56:47.480 happen like it's just a mess now so this isn't like a we can work our way back there i think it's
02:56:53.960 probably done at this point but yeah i think that that time has long passed but it was it was kind
02:56:59.480 of funny because i think everyone has kind of got like there's i know people like to use the phrase
02:57:04.940 on twitter like in in their traditional you know sort of like edgy racist fashion or whatever
02:57:10.420 like everyone's got negro fatigue or whatever and like because you look at the media and every time
02:57:15.820 that there's like a black criminal it's a different kind of euphemism and i at this point
02:57:19.740 the newspapers are just playing a parody of arthur c clark's the nine billion names of god
02:57:24.880 you know it's the the nine billion names for the n-word and it's frustrating because on one hand
02:57:32.680 even like normie political or just like podcasters you know like martyr made like daryl cooper has
02:57:40.000 taken the throne of dan carlin who doesn't have trump derangement syndrome he does good stuff on
02:57:44.500 history but he had said like can you imagine this happening it was the video um he was quote
02:57:50.100 tweeting a video with the caption like was race relations always like this for like a group of
02:57:54.060 blacks were harassing somebody and even martyrmaid was just like yeah it used to happen but we could
02:58:00.180 lynch them you know send tweet and it was just like oh you know that's kind of uh saucy for a
02:58:05.640 large mainstream podcaster but like it was there's a there's a nugget of truth to that you know like
02:58:12.800 that stuff happened that stuff exists that was the way of keeping law and order when it took
02:58:17.020 forever for a judge and a jury to get organized and you needed swifter justice but now we can't
02:58:22.280 have that and it was just a particularly interesting world that doesn't exist anymore
02:58:28.700 because you aren't allowed to defend yourself as a white guy um that's just that that's gone and a
02:58:35.980 lot of that does have to come out of these civil rights revolutions and sort of the emergence of
02:58:40.480 this more new and radicalized left um you know he he talks about this here where he's just like
02:58:47.380 a lot of jewish leftists and academics so they just became thoroughly depoliticized um he had
02:58:54.740 wondered if you know like anything was worth saving with these sort of movements he says uh
02:58:59.400 this is page 159 he says david horowitz the principal figure of the new left and an active
02:59:03.520 supporter of the black panthers in the 1960s wrote that his own parents never spoke out publicly
02:59:08.680 like thousands of other former communists they had left the party but they could never leave
02:59:13.840 the faith um and then this goes on about talking about the uh the montgomery bus boycotts in the
02:59:20.660 1950s and that um you know how we still have these problems between well the the relationship between
02:59:31.260 like ex-communists quote-unquote ex-communists and how we can try to advance these sort of
02:59:37.320 ethnic groups here which had made the predominantly still rather waspy and ellis islander governments
02:59:43.600 of america um you know kind of like we can call you communists but we're gonna get in trouble if
02:59:49.660 we call you jewish yeah and like a lot of these ex-communists just became progressives like they
02:59:56.120 got disillusioned with the soviets but they changed essentially nothing about their worldviews or
03:00:02.400 their politics um i think that's why uh horowitz was saying i forget the quote you just said but
03:00:08.580 like never left the faith yeah they never do and you can even look at most marxists now like
03:00:13.440 they'll have nothing but criticisms of the soviet union but they're stronger marxists than ever
03:00:18.460 um it's it's a remarkable ideology where the more it fails the stronger it gets like a
03:00:25.440 superstructure in a sense um but yeah like i have a i have a friend of mine who says that a lot of
03:00:33.400 like new rightists or whatever they're just functionally marxoids because we use words like
03:00:38.140 the base and the superstructure and uh just i i always chuckle at that it's just like no i'd like
03:00:44.080 to use marx's hammer and sickle to you know redact leftists it's a little different yeah i like
03:00:49.800 hammers and sickles you don't get to take the hammer and sickle you know but like i always just
03:00:54.820 as a quick tangent uh we've remarked on our show because our show we cover a great many books and
03:00:59.980 we've like we covered the first two volumes of capital by marx we've covered you know the
03:01:05.480 conquest of bread um i give things a fair shake and i i've said before when i was on jay burden
03:01:10.680 just the other day we're covering foucault i often like uh the leftist and marxist starting points i
03:01:17.220 like their starting positions i typically don't like where they end up but if you take the time
03:01:22.720 and read what they write like you'll find stuff in there that's good and that things like concepts
03:01:28.720 that would not have been stumbled upon by traditionalists or people on the right like
03:01:33.680 you know people use the word hyper reality all the time that's a fucking marxist communist phrase
03:01:40.220 like i think there was althusser that came up with that yeah and there's a lot of stuff you
03:01:44.620 can read zizek slavosh zizek is cool and funny and interesting um but you need to have the
03:01:51.240 intellectual rigor to like kind of parse through the stuff and if you actually know more about this
03:01:57.300 stuff you can kind of see where they're being a little devious with their reasoning but
03:02:01.120 people you know don't be afraid of it you can uh like i find that with a lot of them though like
03:02:07.080 they're very allergic to concepts from the right and we're not as allergic to interesting ideas i
03:02:13.600 think we that's to our benefit anyway that's a bit of a tangent well it's also kind of an
03:02:18.240 interesting historical tangent to go on because this relating back to the book like they left the
03:02:22.700 party but they never left the faith was that you know this is happening at the same time like
03:02:27.640 stalin is dead khrushchev is in charge and you're like well stalin killed millions of people prior
03:02:34.840 to that you know like the predominantly you know there was an over-representation of jewish
03:02:39.820 individuals that were a part of sort of bolshevism you know like that killed millions of people and
03:02:46.080 martyr countless christians but you know and he's going down in the book he says um
03:02:52.140 quote the broad the badly discredited stalinist left led by william z foster ordered party
03:03:00.080 leaders and other stalwarts underground to escape prosecution another faction while retaining its
03:03:05.840 marxist perspective sought to quote americanize the communist party early in 1956 the leaders of
03:03:12.780 the latter faction, many of them Jewish, like John Gates, editor of The Daily Worker, and Joseph
03:03:18.440 Starobin, its former foreign editor, as well as Eugene Dennis, suggested taking a new look at the
03:03:23.140 causes of the party's failures. Its ensuing struggle, the Foster faction won out, you know,
03:03:30.060 to escape prosecution. But, you know, the Americanizers stayed in touch with one another,
03:03:34.240 he argues, and they had formed sort of a reserve apparatus to spring into action at the first hint
03:03:39.620 of social ferment. They were present in the civil rights movement and the peace groups through a
03:03:44.040 powerful, informal organization presence. Maurice Eisserman has written the most influential adult
03:03:49.980 radical group in the 1960s was probably this party of ex-communists, a party that could do
03:03:55.040 almost anything that a more formally organized radical group could do the same in every situation
03:04:00.480 except recruit new members. And this is sort of the, you know, part of the relationship of the
03:04:05.440 montgomery bus boycott and the the new left and so you know you have the socialists who are also
03:04:12.900 sort of like anti-communists but like every sort of like non-capital non-waspy group in america
03:04:19.520 especially marxist socialists syndicalists they were all looking for well how do we get
03:04:25.080 blacks on our side and what what can we do to to get them there like you said you you were more
03:04:30.560 crude like well how do we get our golem but like how do we get our our angry radical you know
03:04:37.360 bodies out on the street and um you know harrington wrote um or he called what was it called
03:04:45.160 here i'm trying to look for it um yeah they were all looking for black people but he says
03:04:49.240 this afro-american jewish radical community in new york and elsewhere became the sit the seed
03:04:56.020 bed for civil rights activism in the 1960s so we're we're sort of getting this like well yeah
03:05:00.540 a lot of these guys just happen to be Jewish and were happened to be at the forefront of these
03:05:04.860 like radical organizations that would help foment what becomes the civil rights movement in the
03:05:09.560 1960s and i forget if i mentioned this on the uh last episode but there's a book that goes into
03:05:17.440 this specifically and it because you can you can spend an entire episode on a lot of these
03:05:22.260 specific areas but there's this book called days of rage by brian burrow i think required reading
03:05:28.580 required reading yeah and there's so much it's one of those books you know if for people like
03:05:34.020 to read books there's some books where they lag in the middle or they got they kind of get better
03:05:38.680 near the end this is one of those ones where every single page has something you want to take a note
03:05:42.800 on um and just you can speak about this book forever we covered it on our show long long time
03:05:47.700 ago but one of the things i always come back to is the again distinctly jewish recruitment
03:05:55.580 of black soldiers for like their leftist marxist revolutions that they were kicking off like
03:06:01.320 actual terrorism for people who haven't read the book and they were often recruiting from prisons
03:06:06.300 and the way they described their relationship with the the black soldiers they're going after
03:06:12.380 was really interesting because it wasn't even that cynical like a lot of these true believer
03:06:17.320 often jewish uh leftists were like in love with the idea of black people arguably they still are
03:06:24.080 you know as this or almost like a noble savagery they thought that they're they're like the clay
03:06:29.560 they can mold and they're very sexually attracted to them and they'd go to prisons and fall in love
03:06:34.260 with them and teach them and give them money and give them books and it was so funny reading stories
03:06:39.020 about how many like black people just went along with it and then just ditched them the moment they
03:06:43.740 got out but they just used the communist to get like free fucking canteen money and then just like
03:06:50.620 left and then they were all dejected like why didn't why didn't they see but that that story
03:06:56.600 there's so much of that that goes on the 60s of them trying to like make black people into like
03:07:01.260 these the cool hep cat revolutionaries and sometimes it worked but most of the time it's
03:07:07.340 like we're dealing with fucking crack dealers and shit like they don't get this yeah you're just
03:07:12.980 not gonna get what you're what you want out of them like there's there's too many problems that
03:07:18.740 you have to deal with crack dealers haven't changed much go try and get them to read marks
03:07:23.800 and angles it's not easy yeah no it's uh it's not going to work all that well as much as you want to
03:07:31.360 they won't even sit through kendrick lamar videos anymore
03:07:34.940 whoo um but yeah i mean there's there's quite a bit there uh to look i mean to just deal with
03:07:44.060 in that respect but there is that sort of like how do we use them as a a useful cudgel and then
03:07:51.220 get the hell out of here when they start pointing the finger at us and i think that could even lead
03:07:56.240 because we could spend a lot of time on this next i don't know what time you need to leave or put a
03:08:01.580 oh i got we're good okay because we can get into martin luther king and like there's again this is
03:08:08.880 one of those things like leo frank there's so much content out there there's so much that can be said
03:08:12.940 about the phenomena of martin luther king jr um especially there's the part we're going to cover
03:08:19.520 but then there's also the entire hemisphere of his life which is about how he got to where he is how
03:08:25.000 he was a philanderer plagiarist shouldn't even got to the position he was at i don't know how
03:08:31.380 much of that you can blame on jews versus just white liberals kind of hand waving him through
03:08:36.340 and pretending he didn't just be a hack fraud his whole life but there is the relationship
03:08:42.440 established in this book where he really did seem like a puppet to a lot of his jewish handlers
03:08:49.240 especially near the end well and it's really interesting because it isn't just in explicitly
03:08:55.340 like he's not just like a puppet of jews or whatever like it's very important that that
03:09:02.440 isn't the takeaway but you know there are other characters besides say like stanley david levinson
03:09:08.780 but like there's also of course um bayard rustin who is an indian you know and he had you know had
03:09:16.380 a relationship and wanted to model it off muhandas gandhi and you know he wanted to be like a
03:09:21.600 pacifist he wanted to approach things but he also was a big help to working with art luther king
03:09:27.100 jr and he was told by a lot of people like you need to go talk to him you need to go do these
03:09:34.440 things um and you know be a part of this like idea for for change the fellowship of reconciliation
03:09:40.020 and this this is that fabian thing i was talking about you know um because you know despite the
03:09:46.540 fact that he was a former communist and you know he had to keep the party line and all that jazz
03:09:52.140 He was also looking to talk with others in America, and he had met A.J. Must.
03:09:58.200 And A.J. Must was the head of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, which was this organization started in 1914, quote, to seek social change through the confrontation of ideas.
03:10:08.400 The organization came to the United States one year later and quickly grew into the nation's leading exponent of pacifism.
03:10:14.200 Now, regardless of your take on pacifism or American foreign policy or whatever, you know, Rustin was called the itinerant Gandhian of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and, you know, he's a big part of helping the start of the racial equality, Congress for Racial Equality Corps in New York in the 1940s.
03:10:34.560 but he would later on work with martin luther king and so you've got this sort of like fabianism
03:10:40.460 and i don't know if like the fellowship of reconciliation isn't innately fabian but
03:10:44.900 fabianism to me is sort of that leftist notion of like think tanks and social groups confronting
03:10:50.460 ideas having dialogue or what nick land would say is that every every dialectic every opportunity to
03:10:56.060 argue is an opportunity to rule and to me fabianism really hits that at the core here so from
03:11:02.480 rather radical violent action which has always been sort of that i mean i know that bowling for
03:11:08.960 columbine is a total piece of shit but like more kind of gets a point there where he's just like
03:11:14.000 yeah white people were concerned about race riots because that was also a big part of the the civil
03:11:19.960 war was like abraham lincoln a big part of the emancipation proclamation was to encourage slave
03:11:25.520 riots was to encourage the killing of white mothers and children while the men were fighting
03:11:31.240 war but that didn't happen the way it did um and so they had to change things yeah yeah that's a
03:11:38.260 point i was going to say just as a addendum to that like yeah people in the modern day and our
03:11:44.360 current era forget how frequent these race riots were and how absolutely fucking brutal they were
03:11:50.080 as well um sorry i just wanted to add on to that oh yeah absolutely and so you have rustin working
03:11:57.380 with martin luther king and um you know that uh even though he was like this pacifist or whatever
03:12:07.120 like we you know we gotta we gotta embrace the gandhi way of things despite gandhi having his
03:12:11.600 own giant closet full of skeletons um you know he's he says here he says um rustin found king
03:12:19.580 an odd and appealing mixture of determination and vulnerability i need your help king told
03:12:24.780 the entertainer Harry Belafonte, who also joined King's entourage, I have no idea where this
03:12:30.880 movement is going. And after lengthy conversations, King and Rustin reached an agreement on how
03:12:35.820 supporters in the North could assist the Montgomery Improvement Association, the central vehicle of
03:12:41.080 the bus boycott. King knew that communists and other radicals in seeking to alleviate working
03:12:45.920 conditions in the South had worked alongside blacks in textile mills and union shops, but he
03:12:50.580 always opposed communism and recognized the perils that lay ahead if his actions appeared
03:12:54.660 to be influenced or controlled by leftists the improvement association which was in fact a
03:13:00.140 grassroots organization must give the appearance of developing all the ideas and strategies
03:13:04.480 used in the struggle is what king told bayard rustin um and i like that immediately right
03:13:11.300 after this with this remark king unknowingly laid out the future agenda of the black jewish alliance
03:13:15.520 yeah well that's the thing in this chapter specifically i think we're on
03:13:20.520 it shows that he was wrestling with this a lot behind the scenes and specifically
03:13:26.140 with his he calls them his jewish influencers they're stanley levinson randolph and ella baker
03:13:32.520 they essentially wrote his uh they ghost wrote his autobiography strive towards freedom
03:13:38.200 and that it they painted a picture of mlk who was like wrestling with this one hand that there's these
03:13:45.520 communists that want to pull in this one direction and he's making like secret phone calls like i
03:13:50.660 don't want to do it i don't want to but like it painted a picture of like a man who wasn't really
03:13:55.580 in control it seemed like he was being pulled from many many different sides which would fit
03:14:00.920 the description that a lot of people have of mlk is a guy who wasn't particular like he was
03:14:06.660 charismatic but i think he was punching above his weight uh for all the people who wanted like to
03:14:13.960 invest in him and essentially control him now what do you think about that i mean there's this is
03:14:22.920 this goes back i think to a lot about the debates over like martin luther king day because it's the
03:14:26.620 great article about samuel t francis the martin luther king holiday and i don't remember if he
03:14:30.860 wrote it in american renaissance or somewhere else but he was talking about how like you go
03:14:36.600 through the records and how much the fbi still to this day has stuff classified on that they kept
03:14:41.780 classified after the the deadline i think it was like in 2022 or whatever um but i mean you're
03:14:47.740 surrounded by these far more influential people that have deeper connections than you and you've
03:14:53.920 now made yourself this deal where you're not really in charge but you're the you're the face
03:14:59.500 of it you know you are considered to be this like you know this reverend who oh you know despite
03:15:05.400 the fact that you you hung around philanderers made fun of kennedy getting assassination denied
03:15:10.040 the divinity of Christ or whatever, um, you, you kind of recognize that you're not in charge
03:15:14.760 and you, you don't know what to do about it. Um, and that's when you get Rustin, you know,
03:15:20.360 inter, you know, you know, making sure that there's the introduction to Stanley David Levinson
03:15:25.800 in 1956. And, um, just as Lewis, and he says, just as Lewis Marshall typified the relationship
03:15:33.600 over the 1920s this is now repeated with levinson versus um you know king and i think that there is
03:15:41.820 a lot of helplessness to that respect because i mean you know king's got armed guards king knows
03:15:47.500 the stakes he kind of recognizes what he is and he's got his own politics he does have ideas
03:15:53.220 and we see this later on especially when it talks about foreign policy before he's assassinated in
03:15:58.060 in 68 um or 60 yeah a lot of people when they talk about mlk they talk about this kind of
03:16:05.960 brief span of time when he's more i guess headline friendly but he's saying and doing a lot of
03:16:12.400 interesting stuff near the end of his life that they don't put in the movies i think
03:16:16.400 he gets a lot more radical he gets a lot more i'd argue even anti-american i think i read a few
03:16:23.160 quotes from him um and then then he's shot i don't i don't think those two are connected it was just
03:16:28.280 those two things happened in concert yeah no and i mean like this is the the fun thing to deal with
03:16:34.240 this is just like well who is stanley david levinson and this is the big indictment about
03:16:39.260 you know mlk being a commie or i mean mlk's got his own issues which this book talks about but
03:16:45.420 like in relation to this relationship quote here you know um that's fine where where's the section
03:16:52.920 I had here. Levenson was a political radical who worked on behalf of the convicted Adam Spice,
03:16:59.000 Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, who were executed in 1955. I think those are the only two large,
03:17:04.980 well-known names of Jewish individuals that have ever been publicly executed like that, or
03:17:10.420 charged with treason, in efforts to abolish the McCarran Act and other limitations on political
03:17:16.860 expression. He was also a financial pillar of the Communist Party and other radical causes.
03:17:21.720 though wet levinson won no honors in his lifetime he was enormously influential behind the scenes
03:17:26.520 throughout king's career this is like three sentences you know like this is stanley david
03:17:30.460 and this is going to be one of those influential men on civil rights icon quote unquote um
03:17:37.480 martin luther king jr like yeah a little caught and this is just right here right you know all
03:17:43.480 right here in this little book telling it like it is let's just let's just breathe past that too
03:17:48.040 yeah this one it's not like this the author of siege wrote this book this is just a guy from his
03:17:54.280 side of the story telling you how it was and i feel like that's kind of the important thing to
03:17:58.080 get out here it's just like regardless of whatever your take is on that position or the questions or
03:18:03.800 whatever you know like it it is very clear to indicate that no this like this there's a
03:18:11.460 disproportionate group of them that identify with these principles that have um maybe is
03:18:17.300 e michael jones would say revolutionary spirit to you know undermine what already exists and i mean
03:18:24.080 i think that that concept of like you know anywhere around the corner i could be attacked or i could
03:18:30.860 be um you know exiled or brought up for disputation yeah it means we have to undermine everything you
03:18:38.040 know it's that book you mentioned jewish power yeah if you truly believe that you are a targeted
03:18:44.580 minority because if you again we're not trying to psychoanalyze the entire jewish people here
03:18:49.120 but let's do it anyway i mean they do it to us exactly they made a thing called called spade
03:18:55.640 and then so like they if you believe you are a chosen people and that runs in the dna of your
03:19:02.720 existence you will believe you kind of believe you're targeted at all times even when you're not
03:19:06.960 and is that going to inform your behavior in any way and this is why you don't you should never
03:19:12.160 believe the whole thing about oh there's religious and non-religious jews we'll ask a non-religious
03:19:16.880 jew their opinion on israel across the boards like do you think israel should exist you won't
03:19:21.840 find many jews who say no so on every significant issue any socio-political issue it seems that the
03:19:28.920 religious and non-religious align over identity so let's start the conversation with that you know
03:19:34.680 and you had mentioned you know revolutionary spirit from e michael jones fantastic book
03:19:38.640 and this is sort of uh what kevin mcdonald is getting at with the culture of critique like
03:19:42.600 there's something and this is really what he was getting out of this book too he makes a couple
03:19:46.800 comments in the book where he says uh that the communist revolution grafted so easily onto jewish
03:19:54.060 identity and the jewish belief to you know they'll kind of wallpaper over and say oh we believe in
03:19:59.240 it says in the talmud to help your fellow man and shit that's what communism is i do think it is
03:20:03.880 deeper than that i think it is also a strong critique on religion and it's a strong it's a
03:20:10.460 critique on everything it's a critique on the entire system itself and that's what appealed
03:20:15.020 so much to these jewish intellectuals and if if people disagree with that then you'll have to
03:20:20.220 fucking tell me why there's so many of them in these revolutionary movements you know what i
03:20:24.820 mean like you can't say it doesn't exist and the funny thing is that when you see these jewish
03:20:29.640 writers talk about they'll admit to it because they have if they're being honest about history
03:20:34.160 but then the question is well why do you care well why does it matter i'm like okay well we agree
03:20:39.620 it's true but i'm still the bad guy for thinking it's significant i guess and that's where most
03:20:44.320 people end up when they read these books i'm like well this seems important it seems relevant it
03:20:49.520 kind of seems relevant still because we still have these exact same back to the adl thing at the at
03:20:55.920 the start of this we have the exact same groups in existence doing the exact same things and this
03:21:02.340 is sort of the the the dodge that they're going to do right now by saying oh the adl these these
03:21:07.580 these jewish orgs have just been corrupted by the woke mind virus no you can't believe that
03:21:12.820 it's the exact same shit and they're functioning just as they did back then which is just to
03:21:17.960 subvert and again this is turning into like another fucking rant oh but i mean like there's
03:21:22.780 the the book gets it so much of that though like it's still like this is a history that goes up
03:21:29.020 into like the 19 like at the end of the at the beginning of the 1990s is when this book ends
03:21:33.380 and he sort of you know makes some prognostications on the future but it's just like
03:21:37.680 it's frustrating because you know it's the same issue that a lot of people that i think have
03:21:44.540 pioneered sort of these questions and the studies and these um just sort of political understandings
03:21:50.260 of the world and how it works is that like you know they'll say oh it's the woke mind virus in
03:21:55.060 the same way that people say rootless cosmopolitans or when you start talking about like warmongering
03:22:00.080 or neocons like the adl be like that's an anti-semitic trope and it's like well why you
03:22:04.700 know why and you know and like and so they'll say like oh and you've noticed that too with like a
03:22:11.460 lot of mainstream sort of conservatives that hopped on this train for like five seconds or
03:22:15.380 they were like well you know the the adl's like a good organization it's just too far left and i'm
03:22:20.700 like no it's kind of been like this since the beginning and but we can't admit that because
03:22:26.380 that fundamentally gets at the the awkward well are you a nazi question like you know you don't
03:22:32.160 want to be like hitler do you and like the the the left is fundamentally not even the left but
03:22:36.700 sort of like the entire mainstream post-war liberal order replaced satan replaced the actual
03:22:42.540 devil the actual enemy for a dead austrian guy who may or may not have died in a bunker died
03:22:48.740 in argentina you be the judge but like the guy died he's dead but we are so hot and again go
03:22:54.720 back to that post-modernism stuff there's a hauntology there's a specter of hitler that
03:22:59.900 rules over the post-war like political conservative and progressive lens that no one you know even if
03:23:07.480 you wanted to be an authoritarian they're going to call you that anyway they called george w bush
03:23:12.040 Hitler, they call John McCain Hitler, they call Mitt Romney Hitler, they call Trump Hitler,
03:23:16.540 they call Putin Hitler, like, it doesn't matter. In the Western liberal progressive mindset, like,
03:23:22.460 you know, behind every progressive is an esoteric Hitlerist, you know?
03:23:26.360 Yeah, what's interesting is that a lot of people will say that the foundation,
03:23:31.380 the founding mythology of modern America is the Holocaust. But there's an interesting
03:23:35.400 thing you touched on right there about how often Hitler is brought up, because in some sense,
03:23:41.260 he is the face and the embodiment of anti-semitism but in another way he's the face and embodiment
03:23:46.240 of authoritarianism writ large and in a lot of ways that's why he's brought up so much
03:23:51.400 and by doing that you permanently tether authoritarianism to anti-semitism in the
03:23:57.420 minds of people and that's kind of what they were getting at with the psychoanalyzation of it after
03:24:02.000 world war ii they're like we need to target guys who are into authority into hierarchies
03:24:07.640 into tradition because within that's where you get an adorno in the f scale yeah within all of
03:24:13.940 that lurks hitler that's what they're selling you right now and a lot of people believe and
03:24:18.000 you had mentioned the neocons all that like look let's talk about leo strauss let's talk about how
03:24:22.720 often these movements are and we covered this on our show a while ago about the the development of
03:24:29.040 neoconservatism in america with the hands of leo strauss it's like even the the foundations of
03:24:35.000 neoconservatism cannot be divorced from his zionism and his his phylo-semitism like
03:24:42.380 well even even the most one of the more famous neocons too max boot had said and this is i'm
03:24:48.880 quoting uh patrick buchanan's where the right went wrong published in 2004 because he's shitting on
03:24:53.220 he walks that fine line i'm not wanting to be called an anti-semite either but i mean like
03:24:56.580 he does the whole like look i'm just quoting max boot here when he says that neoconservatism is
03:25:03.400 primarily a foreign policy-based movement you know the local domestic stuff be damned like
03:25:08.300 zionism is what matters and he's just like there there you have it folks like but to have that
03:25:14.920 conversation gets gets you called a bigot yeah and there are far there are far there are pioneers
03:25:19.860 of this long before i was even born yeah ask them what their foreign policy is and we'll give you a
03:25:26.020 two-hour dissertation on the importance of israel ask them their economic policies and it's going
03:25:30.160 to be uh stop being poor lol yeah you know sir my bootstraps are so long i can hang myself with
03:25:37.260 them well you know as long as your will goes to you know the ipac i guess we're fine you know
03:25:42.840 have you tried uh being mexican
03:25:45.660 have you tried cutting some lawns on the weekends sir you know there's still people that say that
03:25:53.140 maybe we're gonna miss neocons when they're gone i always think i'm terrified of what i'm actually
03:25:57.540 terrified of what comes after them because i think it'll just be 10 times worse i was looking at i
03:26:02.300 went to a concert the other day i went to see rob zombie by myself and i saw a bunch of older white
03:26:09.460 guys and i saw like old white guys with at night with wraparound shades and pantera t-shirts and
03:26:15.920 wearing like cargo shorts i'm like there's gonna be a time when this guy's not walking around
03:26:19.980 anymore i'm gonna miss this guy i'm also gonna miss like the gen x rock star who wears like a
03:26:26.220 lot of scarves and wears leather pants like a steven tyler or a lead singer of the tea party
03:26:33.280 like that type of bullshit white guy but you know you laugh at him now you're gonna miss that guy
03:26:38.140 when he's extinct and we just have guys with face tattoos overdosing on pills yeah absolutely and so
03:26:47.220 you know and then of course there's ella baker right uh the least known of the three came to
03:26:51.920 age during the depression race in north carolina moved to new york in 1927 worked with the young
03:26:56.060 Negro Cooperative in the Works Progress Administration. Just before World War II,
03:27:00.040 she joined the staff of the NAACP as a director of branches, especially to strengthen the
03:27:03.960 organization in the South. During these years, she became friendly with members of the communist
03:27:08.020 parties and other leftists bent on provoking mass action. While the president
03:27:12.020 of the NAACP branch, Ella Baker, had also been associated with Levinson during fighting
03:27:16.060 the McCarran Act. Together with Rustin, they had talked about
03:27:20.060 the need for developing a mass force. And so there they were
03:27:23.860 in new york in the short authentic period of afro-american jewish radicals working together
03:27:28.720 to become a strong triumvirate of supporting martin luther king jr when he most needed the
03:27:33.280 support you know just a funny you know and this goes into what they call the southern invasion
03:27:43.660 and they call it the southern invasion pretty frequently in the book and this is what a lot of
03:27:47.520 people think of when they think of martin luther king getting involved in southern politics um i
03:27:53.520 think it's described as the pinnacle of Black and Jewish involvement surrounding MLK, bringing all
03:28:00.340 the Jewish leaders on board and reinvigorating Jewish causes for equality back then. And this
03:28:05.360 was like the Freedom Summer protest and things like that. And I just found that was interesting
03:28:10.420 because it was another case where they looked at what was going on in the South. There was all kinds
03:28:16.340 of political firestorms brewing but it seemed to be that in every case the the blacks that
03:28:24.480 were involved wanted incremental change or incremental successions and they the goal of
03:28:29.740 the southern invasion seemed to be just to move south and pour gasoline on the fire and inflame
03:28:36.320 and turn what were local or regional protests into mass anti-government protests i thought that was
03:28:45.420 interesting i don't know how what are your thoughts on the southern invasion i'm not american
03:28:49.420 so i'm my distance from this is pretty great well i think that you see the the long shadow
03:28:58.160 of what gets called the southern invasion a lot because every white liberal and every immigrant
03:29:04.060 that comes into the united states like post 65 you know hartzeller act immigration almost all
03:29:10.000 of them side with like the north and they're like oh rebel tears or whatever it's like
03:29:14.120 reconstruction ended and they're they they hate the fact like they weren't even in this country
03:29:18.240 when it happened but they hate the fact that reconstruction ended and they wish that it was
03:29:22.340 a total destruction of a people because most civil wars usually end with one side getting just wiped
03:29:29.020 the fuck out or exiled like we saw with russia like we saw with the chinese nationalists or like
03:29:34.620 we've seen in every other sort of african civil war where like hundreds of thousands if not millions
03:29:38.100 of people get slaughtered right like um that didn't happen in in the united states which is
03:29:44.160 for all intents and purposes i consider that a historical you know aberration in history
03:29:50.140 but like you see it today where they'll do even like non-jewish like even so-called conservatives
03:29:55.800 like sora bomari does that and in fact i'm blocked by sora bomari because i said like find you
03:30:00.820 somebody who who hates you like um or find somebody who loves you like sora bomari hates white people
03:30:07.220 um and it's funny because i've reviewed his book for the mars journal review of books and he's
03:30:12.560 going to wonder how the hell i got a hold of a review copy but that's a that's another story
03:30:16.860 but no i think that there's a lot to to deal with that and i mean like this discussion over
03:30:22.440 action or do we do it more and again that's why that babian thing is always stuck in my head
03:30:28.800 because you do have individuals that have been part of this since the 1920s like since even
03:30:34.960 earlier than that that have been advancing these movements in the south and now that you've got
03:30:38.560 you know the montgomery bus boycott you've got the the famous you know case with brown v board
03:30:44.100 like you've really got some momentum going now you just need the organization and now you've got
03:30:48.120 all the sort of like radical quote-unquote ex-communist groups that are now trying to put
03:30:53.980 as much influence and organization into the south and it's really kind of funny when you start seeing
03:30:59.060 people debate over what to do. And so like Roy Wilkins is one of the guys that gets discussion
03:31:07.240 about the NAACP and worried about the possibility of communist infiltration. But he says this,
03:31:14.900 or this is page 167. So, however, the NAACP and other civil rights groups committed to more
03:31:22.560 conventional tactics were not entirely comfortable at first with the kind of mass action that took
03:31:27.180 place in Montgomery about the bus boycott. Not long after the boycott ended, Levinson recalled
03:31:32.060 a meeting at A. Randolph's office with John Morsell, Wilkins' second-in-command, which at
03:31:37.180 the time was a veteran socialist leader Norman Thomas was also present. Morsell recounted a
03:31:44.400 discussion with Wilkins in which the latter claimed that mass action had been discredited
03:31:49.100 by Hitler. Hitler had pulled out hundreds of thousands in public squares, and as a consequence,
03:31:54.500 the average person looked with suspicion on such gatherings.
03:32:00.320 Thomas exploded.
03:32:02.360 The days of mass action had just begun, he said.
03:32:05.120 Roy Wilkins also believed that the NAACP's paramount position had been usurped
03:32:09.020 and that he worried, finally, about the possibility of communist infiltration of the NAACP.
03:32:14.960 This is where we begin to see that concern about communism pop up.
03:32:20.000 but i i thought i just you know hitler hitler discredited mass action you know i i don't know
03:32:28.280 i think he kind of proved that you know mass action's kind of what you need you know that's
03:32:33.940 why they call those trump rallies nazi rallies that's like anything that like reminds them
03:32:39.260 of hitler like you have to understand like once you get into their mindset and their worldview
03:32:44.880 you'll realize that it's just the reverberations of that i don't even want to call it trauma but
03:32:50.040 like an identity trauma that they just carry through with them like they cannot break from
03:32:54.740 that and i think if anything that's what people have noticed for a long time especially the
03:32:59.780 younger generations like why has everything got to be hitler you know yeah especially like the
03:33:05.920 further like what jews are noticing is that as like the descendants of people as we get distance
03:33:13.260 from world war ii no one has an emotional investment anymore as bad as i say i know a
03:33:18.200 lot of veterans don't want to hear that but it's like yeah there's going to be a time when
03:33:21.840 people look at this like the peloponnesian war like it's just a bunch of it's it's interesting
03:33:27.160 but then you're going to have this one group that's like seven generations removed still
03:33:31.580 crying about it and say well that's weird what a weird group of people and i don't think they're
03:33:36.440 prepared for that um and so i think you know i'd love to see an updated version of this book like
03:33:42.560 i would love and maybe maybe i don't know if he's still around murray friedman like maybe he's got
03:33:47.220 a fucking blog somewhere but i would love to see if this this type of guy this type of jewish
03:33:54.120 activist how their tone has changed from 2023 whether he would rather rewrite this entire book
03:34:01.260 you know would he remove certain parts or heighten certain parts right yeah um murray friedman died
03:34:09.580 in 2005 but I would have loved to have known his thoughts on the last like maybe five ten years
03:34:15.480 politics to say the least um but yeah I mean it's uh sort of illustrates that um and here's the
03:34:25.160 other thing is that you know after he starts doing all these like speeches like the prayer
03:34:29.180 the prayer pilgrimage the the Lincoln Memorial the famous 1963 March on Washington King had his
03:34:35.780 first major audience outside the south and he made the most of it the theme of his speech was
03:34:39.360 the crucial importance of franchise for all americans regardless of creed color or social
03:34:43.680 class um and i want like i wonder if someone's done a a more modern analysis of the i have a
03:34:51.560 dream speech because um you know like conservatives like the modern sort of like con ink types have
03:34:57.320 just like clung to it like you know he's actually our guy he's like colorblind liberalism and i'm
03:35:02.020 like no i martin king uh was more of a radical uh usurper of hierarchy but go off king um
03:35:10.100 but uh you know a very apt phrase there go off king yeah i didn't even that was not intended
03:35:17.900 but thank you for pointing out to me um maybe i'll edit that out so i look even more clever but um
03:35:23.780 you know so they go on and he says you know both levinson and rustin had prepared working papers
03:35:30.680 for him but the speech was basically his own um and they you know and it was a lot of it was a
03:35:36.300 lot about quartering that more new york centered money a lot of the new york backers and now it
03:35:41.280 was no longer just a southern strategy it was no longer just a oh blacks in the south are getting
03:35:46.920 uppity type deal um although i've been told the word uppity is racist but i don't care i'm still
03:35:51.920 gonna use that word anyway um same with woolly apparently if you describe someone's hair as
03:35:56.840 woolly that's also racist um i had a note from an editor about that and i was like what the fuck
03:36:01.840 but that's a tangent what else are you supposed to say yeah give me the word give me the word
03:36:08.880 and i will find a way to work around it because i'll tell you what words i can't use silky
03:36:13.740 flowing you know i can there's a whole dictionary of shit i can't say and be truthful about that
03:36:20.540 hair so true i'm going off on these like i feel like my rants are getting dumber as the episode
03:36:26.120 goes on no you're you're fine you're fine um but yeah so i mean after that you had youth marches
03:36:35.700 that were organized of course youth marches for integrated schools um initiated by randolph
03:36:39.980 of course you had quite a few other um activists such as bob moses eleanor holmes um eleanor holmes
03:36:47.880 norton norman hill tom conn and rochelle horowitz um and it's very funny because if you look up who
03:36:54.320 Rochelle Horowitz is, you will not get a Wikipedia page for this person, despite the fact
03:36:59.540 that, you know, Rochelle Horowitz is a rather interesting character because Rochelle Horowitz
03:37:07.660 is famous for advancing a lot of these sort of anti-racist causes, who was an aide to Rustin
03:37:14.360 and, you know, worked with Levinson, of course, but she was also a member of the leading members
03:37:21.020 of the social democrats usa the sd usa one of the few successor organizations to the socialist party
03:37:27.360 in the united states and um she has no wikipedia page despite playing such a fundamental role
03:37:34.800 with a philip randolph um who is a part of you know groups with norman thomas and david dubinsky
03:37:41.840 and david you know stanley levinson and a lot of the people closely associated with martin luther
03:37:49.380 king and she's got i find it interesting that she has no wikipedia page but neither here nor there
03:37:54.660 you know she plays this really large role as being the supporter and organizer and you know
03:38:01.480 here she is is a long time you know communist and she's got no no page of her own despite playing
03:38:09.520 you know closely with these groups i just i find it interesting when i was doing research for this
03:38:13.560 and looking up tabs and getting things going and it's like huh interesting you know um yeah
03:38:19.780 levinston's so fascinating because like there's so much evidence in the book of him drafting
03:38:25.360 letters in king's name without his approval condemning the newark riots like you know people
03:38:30.960 really need to look into levinston about how many things that were purported to be published by king
03:38:36.660 that just came from his hand yeah absolutely i mean and i mean even king didn't know what to do
03:38:45.000 with levinson at first and uh he says that you know king was guarded but over time grew fond
03:38:50.020 of levinson and his family came to trust him completely the two men would talk for hours
03:38:53.640 on the phone usually late at night discussing fundraising speech making and civil rights
03:38:57.160 strategy andrew young one of king's key aides and president carter's ambassador to the united
03:39:02.080 Nations oh that's a fun story uh said that Levinson was one of the few people that King
03:39:07.560 could let his hair down and also one of the few people he felt free to have King criticize him
03:39:13.200 face to face according to King's biographer Jabba J. Garrow who also did the biography of Barack
03:39:18.420 Obama the secret of their relationship was very simple Levinson wanted nothing for himself and
03:39:23.240 King knew it I'm gonna press x to doubt on that one yeah that was a strange part of the book and
03:39:27.900 also like the way they describe their relationship of them him like having these secret calls like
03:39:33.320 you just imagine him like a twirling the phone cord on his finger as he's like if yeah you
03:39:38.460 always had to be laying on the bed with his feet in the air like a school girl in the 90s or yeah
03:39:42.960 it's like he was always consulting with this guy and people didn't like it and people around him
03:39:46.860 thought it was strange but they couldn't wedge between those two and then yeah andrew young's
03:39:53.080 an interesting character too because it says that he was um he shift he was one who shifted king
03:39:58.560 because andrew young is another black guy shifted king towards an outlook of domestic colonialism
03:40:04.360 which according to the book signaled his move towards radicalism and also kind of this is where
03:40:10.560 he gets like reshaping american society and some of that later more radical stuff that's why i was
03:40:16.200 saying like at this time there's all these people pulling king in all these directions
03:40:20.300 yeah i mean absolutely and it's uh despite the oratory and everything you know he's got
03:40:28.100 he's got these guys just whispering in his ear writing letters in his name
03:40:32.100 ghost writing virtually everything he's ever done um it's insane how little he did and but
03:40:41.100 to his credit he seemed kind of bothered by this like he did seem to think like oh
03:40:45.720 everyone's being real nice to me i don't really know why yeah and i mean like again it only took
03:40:52.020 four years um less than four years really like three and a half for the the southern christian
03:40:58.940 leadership conference that really you know mlk was a big head behind just dies right after he's gone
03:41:04.660 um and you know that the sclc idea you know he's got so many other people that were contributors
03:41:12.200 that were also not um you know not christian at all but i mean let's be very clear martin luther
03:41:18.800 king jr despite being a so-called reverend was not a christian either uh you know so he had
03:41:24.040 fred shuttlesworth ck steel ralph albernathy mrs king a philip randolph bayard rustin ella baker
03:41:29.520 and himself um but it was just a collective discussion on how you can get southern black
03:41:33.420 again it goes back to that conversation we're having about like black christianity
03:41:36.340 you know like how how do we need how do we get the sclc to like get all these black ministers
03:41:42.240 black pastors to to support us so you know in friendship no more just the sclc we're gonna
03:41:48.480 make it work um but you know when they when they did that they labored behind the scenes in new
03:41:53.360 york with fundraising and coalition building they uh connected him to not merely the pacifist fringe
03:41:58.800 but with figures of labor and the left as randolph norman thomas ralph helstein the jewish head of
03:42:04.900 the Packinghouse Workers Association,
03:42:06.960 who brought the SCLC's first big contribution of $27,000.
03:42:11.240 They helped him draw on Walter Ruther for funds
03:42:14.060 and Chester Bowles for political influence.
03:42:16.380 They were also able to guide him in distinguishing
03:42:18.120 between the rhetoric appropriate for a black audience
03:42:20.520 as well as trade unionists and the etiquette
03:42:23.900 and thank you notes for generous contributions
03:42:26.180 for Corliss and Margaret Lamont.
03:42:29.140 You know, it's just like, it's almost like My Fair Lady.
03:42:32.180 You know, we're going to teach you how to be
03:42:33.480 like the perfect like leftist but you know but instead we're going to just teach you how to
03:42:38.200 how to play like the the new york jewish political game you know yeah and another thing around this
03:42:44.680 time because this whole stuff with mlk is occurring in the background what's happening is that jewish
03:42:50.920 groups are becoming more radical so what an interesting dynamic in this relationship is
03:42:56.260 even with mlk's jewish advisors they felt like they were being pulled in a more radical direction
03:43:02.200 and not sure what to do about it because they could according to the book and i'm not a huge
03:43:06.880 expert on jewish history even though it should be even though i talk like i am um one thing he makes
03:43:12.940 a point of is saying that around this time the six day war was going on and this shook jewish
03:43:18.420 sensibilities and actually increased sort of the the tribalism in there um and that's why i think
03:43:24.880 this was more of a mask off moment for these groups where they became more explicitly in favor
03:43:29.980 of jewish interests and then you start seeing groups like the student non-violent coordinating
03:43:35.040 committee the sncc they were i think they came up with the phrase like don't trust anyone over 30
03:43:42.300 yeah they had all they had all these crazy slogans like really really radical slogans
03:43:46.820 and then so like you start seeing this like new young crop of more radical jews and more radical
03:43:53.440 black leaders like kind of shuffling off the old guard who were they were still arguing like we
03:43:59.280 you just want equality than these other these newer casts were just trying to destroy america
03:44:04.620 and so that that's going on in the background the entire time and i mean like i've done two
03:44:11.720 i've done two shows with this guy named hitman it was just sort of it was about the legacy of
03:44:16.700 the sykes-pico treaty and like you know people can say philo-semitism all they want when it
03:44:22.220 comes to like christianity or whatever but like you look at like the ingran group or all these
03:44:27.720 other terrorist organizations that basically told post-world war ii britain we will continue to bomb
03:44:33.340 british palestine and kill people and kill our own people unless you give it to us um because
03:44:39.620 we're gonna hold you to account for that battle for declaration we're gonna fucking kill you
03:44:43.280 and um no one talks about that i mean maybe some people in these spheres do but it's just i thought
03:44:48.700 that was rather interesting um because it's just like no this wasn't a this wasn't a free gimme
03:44:53.040 this was like a lot of terrorist stuff as well and like you're you're sort of seeing that
03:44:57.320 identitarianism play out here um because like even before the six-day war in 67 uh or not 67
03:45:06.620 um isn't this well no you had the 48 you had the six-day war right after that right
03:45:12.560 and then there was another one in 67 um the name escapes me i will go look it up in just a moment
03:45:19.840 here but he says um you know during this time as he's getting all this money from the new yorkers
03:45:25.980 there's this huge debate over you know who's going to be in charge of getting king's ear is
03:45:30.620 it going to be levinson and all of the new york guys that happen to be jewish or is it going to
03:45:34.120 be like actual black southerners um i mean this is a good point here um uh levinson later told
03:45:42.740 that only some 10 of the sclc's money came from jews because jews understandably found it difficult
03:45:47.040 to contribute to a christian organization yet so important was jewish support that king's advisors
03:45:51.520 considered dropping the word Christian from the organization's title. Rustin never failed to
03:45:55.800 remind King to mention the Judeo, Judeo's italicized in the book, Christian tradition
03:46:01.700 in his speeches. Don't you love that? Don't you love that? Yeah. And also for people, there's a
03:46:06.880 great book on this and we covered it on our show. I'm sure a lot of people are aware of it called
03:46:11.060 Tri-Faith America. And for people who want to know the full story of how the phrase Judeo-Christian
03:46:18.640 became in vogue the answer is not that long ago because the story is that oh america has always
03:46:24.480 been a judeo-christian country no one used that phrase up until around the time you're saying
03:46:29.900 and the book goes into great detail why that happened the forces that kind of propagated
03:46:35.600 that in the american discourse and essentially rewrote the entire american identity yeah i mean
03:46:42.260 one can do a google ingram for that term and you're only going to see that pop up in the 20th
03:46:46.520 century and i mean the the christian tradition from you know tertullian to augustine to saint
03:46:56.100 john chrysostom to uh martin luther so i mean like you know all these like big or even thomas
03:47:01.460 aquinas you know it's like all these like big names in you know early christian orthodox
03:47:06.800 protestant and catholic theology they're like uh no we there's no judeo-christian here it's just
03:47:12.960 christ um but you know this is again this is only a relatively 20th century invention that uh has
03:47:20.500 rewritten sort of the entirety of the american uh political narrative of the nation which is really
03:47:27.300 frustrating because i mean yeah like this this is the funny thing because i know that some people
03:47:31.700 don't like for instance e michael jones because like his thing is catholicism it's not really
03:47:35.900 like race realism or whatever and it's just like that man's quote-unquote bigotry is legitimate
03:47:40.740 because like that man believes that jesus christ is the son of the living god um and of course he's
03:47:46.120 going to be a bigot because it's just like how can you not be a bigot towards a group of people
03:47:49.800 that rejected their own god and decided no we're going to kill him instead uh and that's sort of
03:47:56.800 been like like believe it or not folks like e michael jones's attitude towards them would have
03:48:01.880 been totally normal 300 even 200 maybe even a hundred years ago but lo and behold um things
03:48:10.260 michael jones would have just been a regular writer back then he wouldn't be we might have
03:48:16.020 been a regular old catholic yeah um and yeah in so many ways in such a like the america i had an
03:48:24.660 image in my head of a prism splitting the white light into a rainbow and i'm like and that that
03:48:31.200 prism is like the civil rights movement it it fractured america into the gayest thing on earth
03:48:39.280 um and part of it is the race thing part of it is like the judeo-christian thing part like there's
03:48:44.840 a bunch of things that happened around that time a lot of movements that kind of coalesced
03:48:49.420 but yeah the america that a lot of people think they know is a creation from like the 60s and
03:48:57.120 there's a lot of guys in our scene that can speak at length more of that like why do you want to
03:49:00.980 listen to a fucking cool handsome canadian talk about american history but you know we've covered
03:49:06.660 a few things we covered the true history of the american revolution so i'm not some johnny come
03:49:11.260 lately no i i you guys you guys book reviews are some of my favorites um but no it's kind of funny
03:49:19.460 get you even friedman here is taking a punch about like the south and sort of like the black
03:49:25.360 you know control for their own movement uh he says uh he says this about in the chapter where
03:49:30.300 the jews went south he says the real argument that quote real jews more orthodox or traditional
03:49:35.240 jews were not involved in the protest movements has been given particular emphasis by claiborne
03:49:39.940 carson who's a black american historian focusing on like malcolm x and the history of the civil
03:49:44.720 rights movement from an explicitly black perspective um he stresses the role of blacks
03:49:50.420 in their own liberation struggle and this is funny um blacks here is i mean this is 1995
03:49:56.100 but uh blacks is lowercase jewish's uppercase yeah i've seen that throughout the entire book
03:50:02.100 too and i'm like even back then i would have noticed something there yeah um but anyways he
03:50:07.980 says that uh you know blacks were they he emphasizes the role of blacks in their own
03:50:12.600 liberation struggle and suggest the jewish involvement was peripheral arguing that there
03:50:15.680 was little in jewish tradition and ethics to impel jews to engage in civil rights work
03:50:19.260 in liberal reform then and much mitigated against such engagement the fact of the matter of course
03:50:24.440 is that this is extremely high proportion of whites involved in the freedom riots and other
03:50:27.940 protest in the schrodinger's minority let me read the sentence again the fact of the matter of
03:50:33.060 course is that an extremely high proportion of whites involved in the freedom rides and other
03:50:38.200 protest movements were jews undoubtedly because of the egalitarian strains within judaism and as
03:50:44.560 well as the entire uh jewish historical experience as an oppressed minority group there was in short
03:50:50.820 nothing ever that prevented quote real jews from participating in the civil rights movement
03:50:54.780 yeah the book is full of little things like that which again line up completely with what someone
03:51:01.340 like kevin mcdonald or you michael jones might say it's like oh it's just in our this revolutionary
03:51:06.060 stuff is in our blood well even jj goldberg would say that or um more famously the uh author of that
03:51:13.320 great uh interesting spicy read um maurice samuel the new gentiles yeah and you have to ask them
03:51:20.420 Okay, so are you always in the favor,
03:51:22.700 are you always on the side of revolution as such?
03:51:25.400 Or is there anything you won't revolutionize?
03:51:28.400 And they'll probably have a few things.
03:51:29.660 Like, okay, so is it that, yeah, exactly.
03:51:32.500 It's like, are you in favor of true egalitarianism
03:51:36.040 or just in favor of your own interests?
03:51:39.160 And egalitarianism is just a technique
03:51:41.580 or a method to achieve that.
03:51:43.640 And that's where a lot of the other,
03:51:44.940 you know, real antisemites will come in.
03:51:47.300 But it's like, look, I'm just listening
03:51:48.660 to what they're saying.
03:51:50.420 They're saying it's in their blood to like start start shit to move in and say, like, you know, this this isn't a revolution enough, you know.
03:52:00.040 Yeah, absolutely. And because like I said, even in these chapters are talking right now, like the the there was a protest involving sharecroppers in the south and it was white and black sharecroppers working side by side.
03:52:13.140 It was it was concerning wages. It was just a labor movement. It was just a labor uprising.
03:52:18.280 and then the southern invasion got there and said no we need it's better for black people to be the
03:52:23.500 face of this it's that it's bad optically for lower class blacks and whites to be united on
03:52:29.400 this whoa whoa optics cooking yeah exactly it's like no and this is where like you get the creeping
03:52:36.080 third worldism this is where you get to like we want the face of this revolution to be non-white
03:52:41.440 and and that's a very specific request that they have and and this goes right into the third
03:52:47.180 worldism of you know soviet intelligentsia this goes right into like the entire leftist progressive
03:52:53.200 movement of like can we put a black or brown face on this because we want to align them completely
03:52:59.240 with anti-capitalism or whatever the their secret goal is you know yeah absolutely and i think that
03:53:06.180 um it's kind of funny because again it goes back to the hauntology thing like in the 19 or
03:53:12.800 it's in 63, King's in, I don't know, later on in 64, I think it says, yeah, King was in St. Augustine,
03:53:19.940 Florida, challenging the city's segregated public accommodations. He met fierce opposition,
03:53:24.300 and knowing the rabbinic conference was in session, sent a telegram asking for support.
03:53:28.360 Within hours, 16 rabbis and a member of their conference staff, Albert Verspan, was on their
03:53:33.680 way to St. Augustine. On their arrival, they received a briefing from King and attended
03:53:37.880 services in a crowded black church. Leaving the church, the rabbis walked through the gauntlet of
03:53:42.380 menacing state troopers who, quote unquote, protected them from a menacing mob. In violation
03:53:46.620 of St. Augustine's laws, Forspan and one of the rabbis sat down in a local restaurant with two
03:53:50.540 blacks. Ordered to leave, they refused and were immediately arrested and placed in this cell
03:53:54.360 with other demonstrating rabbis from other parts of the country. They were jailed for two days
03:53:59.140 before being freed on bail. Before leaving St. Augustine, emulating King's own famous letter
03:54:04.320 from Birmingham jail issued to their own, asking for forgiveness for not having acted sooner,
03:54:09.660 inciting silence as the great unpardonable sin of the time they came they said in hope that god
03:54:15.860 would accept their small involvement as a partial atonement for many things they could have done
03:54:20.440 before mindful of the millions who stood quietly by and watched the smoke rise from hitler's
03:54:25.480 crematoriums i got a few other things those rabbis could apologize for
03:54:29.940 so yeah chapter nine goes into after the more or less the civil rights movement happens
03:54:37.560 and achieves a significant political victory um with the civil rights act of 1964
03:54:43.300 and after that what gets really complex of course is the fight of well there's still a shitload of
03:54:52.660 communists and there's still a shitload of uh marxists and you know party movements but also
03:54:59.260 at the same time there's a lot of black militants so it's just like no one's no one knows what to
03:55:05.660 do with this and they don't they it's getting really hard for them to work with you know this
03:55:13.260 more two very ethnocentric organizations one that wants to be in charge to quote unquote destroy the
03:55:19.440 hierarchies that have oppressed them and then the others that want to do their own shit and that
03:55:23.460 means excluding the the jewish support that they perceived yeah and this is where andrew young as
03:55:29.880 for example mlk's influence and this is where you see jesse jackson emerge that's a name that
03:55:35.160 It doesn't get brought up that much anymore.
03:55:37.920 But Jesse Jackson was a staunch third worldist, staunch, you know, global exporting of the struggle.
03:55:45.640 And this is where, like, you see these names that are still popular now and you forget how radical they were and are to this day.
03:55:53.540 They start emerging.
03:55:54.600 And this to me is like the final fracturing of it.
03:55:57.400 And like we talked before, like this is like this is black people finally getting their self-determinism and realizing, like, do we really need Jewish people?
03:56:06.640 Like what do because they never really had anything in common.
03:56:10.640 And you have these these these agitators coming in and saying, you know, they're and this is I think there was a line in a previous chapter.
03:56:18.660 And maybe we'll get to this in a second about schools.
03:56:21.220 And they're openly claiming that Jewish people are polluting the minds of black children, you know.
03:56:27.400 like this is where you start to see that real anti-semitism come from the black community
03:56:31.760 yeah i mean uh but it's also kind of and we talked about this in the last time we talked
03:56:37.140 about this book is that there is a well sort of established um like they have their own form of
03:56:44.780 anti-semitism whether for you know market related reasons or their own black syncretic form of
03:56:51.100 christianity like it's been there now it's like well well well you've got a little too much
03:56:56.260 influence on this movement that's supposed to help me, how else are you affecting me and my
03:57:01.120 children and my people? And you see this a lot with like black youth groups, especially the
03:57:07.600 student nonviolent coordinating committee, you know, they, they're one of the bigger Southern
03:57:13.780 protest movements. And, you know, they were all like, you know, a lot of Jewish liberals were
03:57:20.240 happy with it, but they also a lot of, they financed a lot of it, but also at the same time,
03:57:25.580 It had quite a bit of militancy to it. They were very much uncompromising. And in doing so, they were raising a lot of suspicion from other black and other, you know, moderate groups. And so when, you know, some blacks did manage to take control of it, whether that be Robert Moses, Stokely Carmichael, you know, they were, they were influenced by these guys, but they also wanted their own shit.
03:57:50.880 and they wanted to make sure that that could be the case but instead you know you got individuals
03:57:57.080 like um who was it like james foreman and others that are like whoa we're not going to be able to
03:58:03.000 really get along here anymore are we that sudden realization that the fault line like we're getting
03:58:09.180 very close to it totally cracking apart exactly and uh you know what's interesting is that
03:58:17.120 i mentioned this book a lot recently but i was reading this book called the square in the tower
03:58:22.220 it's about uh the power of social networking movements throughout time and decentralized
03:58:28.480 secret societies and things and uh the influence that these have on intellectual movements and
03:58:34.120 even revolutions and whatnot and there's this interesting idea that you know we're obsessed
03:58:39.980 with these groups existing and then we see that he gave the example of the illuminati he's like
03:58:45.440 The Illuminati was a group that actually existed, and they were pretty big for the time, but then they only existed for a brief window of time, then they stopped existing, and to say that they still exist is a silly conspiracy theory.
03:58:59.440 But it seems obvious that what happens with these groups is that they oftentimes flare up in times, and by the time they collapse, they just scatter individuals to the wind, and that makes them more socially relevant.
03:59:15.440 Which is to say that I think in our society, we have this idea that there are these like, once a group falls or collapses, that's the end of it. And to me, that is merely its second act. So a lot of the, like it says in here, when you read about the SNCC, it's like it disbanded in the 1970s. And people would say, oh, so this radical group, it was there and then it ended and that was the end of it.
03:59:38.620 It's like, no, that just meant that it kind of reverberated through the rest of society and those people who were parts of it just infiltrated other groups and the radicalization almost spreads more.
03:59:50.780 It's like a like a what would be like a corpse finally exploding and spreading its gases everywhere.
03:59:55.840 Right. Like it's way more toxic once these these these groups stop containing the individuals and they fly out.
04:00:02.660 So anyway, as I was just saying, like the SNCC people say, oh, that was like, it was kind of crazy in the 70s when we had these groups like, yeah, they, those specific groups don't exist anymore, but it pollinated everything around it. And I think that's the way I look at a lot of these groups in the 70s.
04:00:18.500 yeah and i mean this goes back to i mean this hits its peak of course after
04:00:24.080 the civil rights act passes and you get the question of who's going to be president in 1968
04:00:30.320 and um you know 68 of course there's the you know the the big fight over the democratic ticket
04:00:39.200 the the issue of race is still going on we have to understand that like they still rioted and
04:00:44.280 burnt down cities after the civil rights act was passed like you know appeasement did not you
04:00:51.100 weren't going to get your kumbaya after this law was passed um you know you just got them more
04:00:56.300 energy and from there you know you have to find a way to get these quote-unquote freedom democrats
04:01:05.780 a seat at the table and how they can vote and make sure that they can you know stand their ground and
04:01:11.820 have more political voice for black enfranchisement because they want to have a say in these things.
04:01:17.080 And so, you know, the Democratic Party, of course, had its issues in 68. And then, of course,
04:01:24.260 this playing into the huge role even prior to that, 1964, about what happened in Atlantic City.
04:01:30.100 You know, Cleveland Sellers is one of those, you know, other student nonviolent guys. He had said
04:01:36.320 that Atlantic City was a struggle not for civil rights, but for liberation. The National Democratic
04:01:40.180 party's rejection of the mfdp at the 1964 convention was the civil rights movement what
04:01:47.300 the civil war was to american history an event after which things would never be the same from
04:01:51.660 then on the civil rights movement the term white liberal used previously as a neutral or even
04:01:56.360 praiseworthy description of a person's politics became an epithet it's kind of funny because that
04:02:00.800 white liberal was also directed towards jews
04:02:03.460 yeah um around this time too maybe i have my dates mixed up but i wanted to mention one other group
04:02:12.600 which is called the jewish defense league i think it comes up around this time too but in terms of
04:02:18.920 jewish radical groups they actually coined the term never again um and they're they're highly
04:02:25.140 militant and they advocated for direct violence so this is a group of jews who were like and by
04:02:31.300 never again of course they're referring to the holocaust yeah they're founded in 1968 i wanted
04:02:37.740 to just bring that up because i found it so interesting that you know that phrase is still
04:02:41.460 with us and this is kind of what i was just talking about that even though you know the
04:02:45.180 jewish defense league might exist in a different form like you still carry their extremist slogan
04:02:50.240 and people still people still say that people still say never again and i think the the violence
04:02:56.540 that that implies is still there people just kind of accept it now yeah and i mean um you know the
04:03:05.460 they consider the movement to be quote-unquote over but i mean that sort of uh militant aspect
04:03:15.480 of it is still there and i mean like congressman or then congressman daryl i don't know if he's
04:03:22.000 still in congress anymore but uh daryl isa um oh he is actually in congress i stand corrected
04:03:28.220 um or he was um but uh he is one of the wealthiest serving members of congress as of this year look
04:03:37.100 at that what are the odds anyway um they tried to kill him in 2001 jesus and i don't anyone
04:03:45.240 remember that you know does anyone talk about that shit um but yeah they did coin the phrase
04:03:49.820 uh never again and um it's kind of interesting one thing that that marks this sort of this split
04:03:58.700 between the blacks and jews because we are really seeing the split that has not been
04:04:03.940 recovered from since then but i see a lot of apologia occurring around this time um and
04:04:10.680 there's one phrase i know it's from chapter 10 i've got it here it says both blacks renting
04:04:16.680 ratty tenements and the jews who owned them were prisoners of history so it was like trying to
04:04:23.280 there's this like retroactive rewriting of the relationship between jews and blacks and there's
04:04:28.380 this i'm jumping ahead a bit here but there's connected to that is this study he mentions in
04:04:33.020 the book i think is very interesting uh done by gary t marks this is from page 272 uh a study
04:04:39.740 on black anti-semitism because they're trying to figure out why all these blacks are anti-semitic
04:04:43.940 uh the study was called protest and prejudice um and the entire purpose of the study was saying
04:04:50.520 that blacks are only anti-semitic because of their economic interactions which is understandable
04:04:56.140 compared to white anti-semitism so something that occurs around this time i know that was
04:05:03.100 kind of jumping ahead of it but i just wanted to say that you start seeing a bifurcation of
04:05:07.100 types of anti-semitism and i think you see that to this day like if you look like black culture
04:05:12.960 as highly anti-Semitic and Jews seem okay with that.
04:05:17.440 And I think there's two things going on there.
04:05:19.100 One is the thing I just said,
04:05:20.240 then two is that I still think Jews
04:05:21.940 don't take black people seriously.
04:05:24.040 I think they see them like animals, frankly,
04:05:27.020 and they see whites as more dangerous and a higher priority.
04:05:30.800 But this is, that study is so interesting
04:05:33.080 because it's like, oh, of course,
04:05:34.120 there's different types of anti-Semitism.
04:05:36.240 One is serious and one isn't serious.
04:05:39.360 And that's just an interesting thing
04:05:41.800 that occurs around this time.
04:05:42.960 yeah i don't think uh a lot of people i again like this is the like everyone kind of gets it
04:05:51.680 they're like oh black israelites or they'll say oh louis farrakhan nation i'm like no it's not
04:05:55.600 just these like fringe or these like one or two cults of personality this is kind of baked into
04:06:00.760 it oh yeah sides just kind of casually accept it yeah if people i know a lot of the listeners of
04:06:06.640 this program might not listen to hip-hop um i did a lot when i was younger and i still kind of do
04:06:12.000 um but it's pretty shocking how ingrained the nation of islam is and the black israelite
04:06:19.080 movement and like these openly anti-semitic groups i would say like like half to two-thirds
04:06:26.280 of all rappers are parts of these arguably fringe movements like it's popular within the
04:06:31.980 black community the nation of islam is highly highly respected and kanye west is a great
04:06:36.980 example like if you look at Kanye West like he makes these appeals to Christianity but there's
04:06:42.940 a lot of songs where he says you know praise to the most high Allah like and he makes these appeals
04:06:48.000 to um Louis Farrakhan like he Kanye West is an example of the average black man that can exist
04:06:54.880 in both those worlds he can be a Christian and also an advocate of the nation of Islam and they
04:06:59.300 don't see any tension there and that's a lot of them yeah I mean people kind of forget that when
04:07:05.780 it comes to it um and even after the civil like rights movement sort of like gets into full swing
04:07:12.140 in the late 60s you know you still have the issues of well you know the idea of buy black
04:07:20.380 and to just focus on our own kin you know there's that inherent distrust of like jewish influence
04:07:26.860 on their own movements and like you know even bayard rustin is like well we don't know what
04:07:32.360 to do here because like this isn't the clan this isn't the john birchers this isn't segregationists
04:07:39.800 george wallace segregation forever types it's blacks i can't blame whitey for this one and
04:07:45.680 that's sort of like the i think that's the interesting phenomenon that we saw when it comes
04:07:49.600 to you know quote-unquote anti-semitism or anti-jewish attitudes is like well you know
04:07:57.100 and you see this with like even like white or like racial um rightists where it's like
04:08:03.120 a lot of people will you know they'll say what they want to say and they'll stick to it and then
04:08:06.980 when someone like you say kanye west or any other black politician or louis farrakhan or whatever
04:08:13.340 there's or even like george lincoln rockwell right with the the nation of islam right it's just like
04:08:18.500 uh i'm here for what you have to say and we kind of have a similar thing where we have this this
04:08:24.080 own group that we have a problem with but you know they'll latch on to them very quickly because
04:08:28.860 it's like this kind of anti-semitism you know it's paid lip service too but it's never going to
04:08:34.860 change you know whereas like white people have that intrinsic like guilt because like oh you're
04:08:40.880 white you're european like the holocaust or whatever but like black people have their own
04:08:45.680 you know this book is a really great historiography of it like they weren't as complicit in those
04:08:50.620 things they weren't really part of the wars they weren't part of the pogroms you know or whatever
04:08:55.740 so what now well you know we can just say that you know hey black people that anti-semitism is
04:09:03.060 real bad but it's never going to change um because if it were you know it would i don't think you'd
04:09:08.960 have another episode like kanye west did that the end of last year beginning of this year
04:09:13.420 yeah america kanye west is still allowed to just hang around and you know he was allowed to come
04:09:19.100 back pretty fast too like again they treated him like he was like they were scolding a child
04:09:24.360 in a sense and connie west remember he was really out there talking some shit he was he was a walking
04:09:31.620 4chan thread for like three four months like he was saying shit that david duke probably wouldn't
04:09:38.420 say in public anymore like there was probably like e michael jones was telling like he's up on that
04:09:44.520 shit yeah absolutely and i mean like you know you mentioned that weird um like sexual aspect
04:09:53.900 to all this when it comes to these two groups earlier and i yeah this there's nathan uh pod
04:10:00.460 hurts who was a writer on these issues and i mean he famously wrote the essay uh my negro problem
04:10:07.240 in hours um and i think that's the the part there um where uh he has that really weird um
04:10:18.040 sexual uh line about it i'm gonna see if i can find it real quick because like he later becomes
04:10:25.720 a famous neoconservative um yeah this is the interesting stuff because this is where i would
04:10:37.080 veer off of my research and go more into things that i've just intuited or things that i've
04:10:42.480 noticed but i think like the relationship between blacks and jews at least in america so maybe this
04:10:50.240 is just localized to american jews and african americans something going on there but yeah just
04:10:56.600 an anecdote i don't know you make of this way you will but the joke was that i've only ever
04:11:03.400 known one guy who openly admitted to watching that blacked porn and it was adam friedland from
04:11:10.620 the adam friedland show um so that was always like the jewish guy and he was making excuses like yeah
04:11:16.240 you know like everyone does it right everyone's like no what the fuck you talking about that's
04:11:20.500 weird but it just seemed like jewish guys had a strange like relationship with like like basketball
04:11:27.520 players too and hip-hop is jews like the jews are always involved in hip-hop early and i don't
04:11:33.500 know there's something there i don't know what it is probably someone has written about it before
04:11:37.700 but i also hearken back to like days of rage when we talk about these jewish communist groups and
04:11:43.080 their obsession their obsession not only with like the black struggle but like their virility
04:11:49.040 and their masculinity their writings are about this all the time you look at a lot of anarchist
04:11:54.300 literature too there's like a loss of a black guys and i don't know it's just something i've
04:11:59.880 noticed and i don't see that with any other type of political literature i yeah i don't um
04:12:06.800 i don't know but yeah i mean here here he says it's from uh commentary magazine he says um
04:12:14.800 yet just as in childhood i envied them for what seemed to be their superior masculinity and so i
04:12:19.860 envy them today for what seems to me their superior physical grace and beauty uh and it's
04:12:24.400 just like what the fuck what and the fact that he says that it's like yeah we all feel this way
04:12:29.380 right and everyone's just no what the fuck are you talking about like i remember i yeah i just
04:12:34.740 don't get that i remember i actually heard a different a comedian his name is burke kreishner
04:12:40.820 a man who i uniquely hate isn't that like the fat guy that always does his like bits shirtless or
04:12:46.080 whatever i i you have i hate him so much i don't want to go off and i'll go up some other time
04:12:50.900 but he had made a comment like what black guys are always ripped why are they in such good shape
04:12:54.920 i'm like they're like statistically the most obese people ever so it's like it's not based
04:13:00.000 on reality it's not based on like because i always recommend people probably have an idea
04:13:04.900 of black people from watching music videos what you should do is go watch a documentary
04:13:10.200 like a hood documentary almost everybody is not only fat but morbidly obese but it's like you you
04:13:17.680 live in this unreal world where like you need to believe in this like strange myth of really but
04:13:23.580 then you also like everyone thinks like this right like no that's an odd thing to say publicly that's
04:13:29.940 not like a secret thing that everyone has yeah and it's like you know and this and of course he
04:13:38.980 had a son named john potter retz who was a speech writer for ronald reagan and george h.w bush and
04:13:46.400 was also a popular um neoconservative and yeah go for it just run to the washroom quickly just
04:13:55.620 yeah yeah go go for it um i will read a section here and i'll go on a riff while you do that
04:14:00.320 but yeah so i mean like we're like you see this stuff sort of come out
04:14:06.740 and there's this big debate over where we go from here like hey what do we do now in respects to
04:14:15.140 um the relationship between us and ourselves here and i mean like the of course at the same
04:14:22.180 time in 1967 you do have the six-day war it plays out in its own role but then you have of course
04:14:27.100 harold cruises like the crisis of the negro intellectual which came out in 1967 and it gave
04:14:31.440 gave a degree of respectability to the radicals cry for racial separation he urged black intellectuals
04:14:36.720 break away from the domination of white intellectuals especially jews who so claimed
04:14:40.500 to play a major role in influencing black thought some whites were absolutely enthralled
04:14:44.700 interesting here's a fun name uh that was fun to find in the book christopher lash who wrote the
04:14:49.920 revolt of the elites and democracy and stuff like that yeah for example wrote that while all
04:14:53.960 the manifestos of the 60s are forgotten this book will survive as a monument of historical analysis
04:14:59.160 the kirkus reviewed received the crisis of the negro intellectual rapturously sympathizing
04:15:04.660 with its attack against the advocates of integration who had misdirected blacks from
04:15:08.580 a truly radical and creative goals. Before long, Cruz's writings became the source of a
04:15:12.740 burgeoning Afro-American studies program on college campuses, foreshadowing
04:15:16.840 the revisionism of black intellectuals of the 80s and 90s, though Jews had
04:15:20.680 mastered the art of playing both ends against the middle. Huh, how
04:15:24.720 juvenilion of them. He argued that the average
04:15:28.280 Negro would never be able to buy the line that blacks and Jews were in the same boat. I just found
04:15:32.720 like christopher lash part to be interesting he likes that uh that text there yeah i remember
04:15:38.820 seeing that name pop up i'm like is that the same guy it is the same guy that's what made it
04:15:45.880 interesting for me i love reading these old books and you'll see them like mention like spengler and
04:15:51.220 things like that i'm like i didn't know people just talked i thought that was like a bad guy
04:15:54.680 these days well it's funny i i have a i have an essay out on substack i'm gonna make it a video
04:15:59.340 hopefully it'll come out this week um this guy named james blish who was like a british science
04:16:03.960 or an english no he's not even english he's american he's a science fiction writer and he
04:16:07.940 wrote this essay in 1975 saying like science fiction is the work of a civilization into the
04:16:13.880 winter phase of its cycle and he was like my entire thesis is from spangler and so i guess
04:16:19.300 he's not this like evil german guy that only right-wingers like but um if there's a part of
04:16:25.140 your notes that you want to get into um by all means go for it i gotta go take some anti-rejection
04:16:30.240 pills so you're up on uh you're up on first your dimes okay um i'm actually running to the end
04:16:37.860 of the notes that i had and we covered most of the stuff that i had but let's see what i got here
04:16:42.860 yeah i think one thing that i had here which is pretty interesting um and this is from chapter
04:16:53.800 12 so i might be skipping ahead quite a bit here but in near the end of the 1960s what was occurring
04:17:00.340 was uh the blacks were turning against jews mainly through the school and this is a theme
04:17:06.440 that will carry on you know it's not even resolved right now really but this is what i was saying
04:17:11.780 before where the president of the martin luther king center not martin luther king martin luther
04:17:16.880 himself but the president of his center claimed that black children were being intellectually
04:17:22.080 castrated by jews and i think this is where you really start to get into the the nation of islam
04:17:28.800 type stuff by saying that you know jewish people are not they're not only not working out of
04:17:34.660 interest but they're actively working against us and like i said before like i do think this stuff
04:17:39.760 is internalized over time so this is something that like the black community still essentially
04:17:46.700 believes um but i think the fight going on right now is with jews trying to add these demarcations
04:17:55.200 between themselves and whites and then do you know claiming that they are white in other areas to try
04:18:00.520 and make this seem like not big of an issue you know what's interesting is i was i was on twitter
04:18:06.820 just uh today and i saw a tweet concerning ben shapiro's book uh about hollywood propaganda
04:18:15.020 and it was this book that came out i believe in 2006 and it purports to be the inside track
04:18:23.360 on what all of these tv shows and movies are really trying to how subversive they are
04:18:28.980 now the whole title of the book is about how leftism has infiltrated hollywood but the poster
04:18:37.320 whose name escapes me they are remarking how he was only granted these interviews and granted this
04:18:43.020 access because his last name was Shapiro and he says as much in the book but you know there's this
04:18:50.020 idea that because they knew they were talking to someone like them they could openly admit that
04:18:55.680 you know some like the creator of MASH saying that oh we created this to forward our progressive
04:19:01.820 values or that you know the creator of Friends a Jewish woman said that oh we're trying to put
04:19:07.720 more you know leftist stuff in here to some for the purpose of subverting i think one of the
04:19:13.000 characters ross is jewish in there but in all in the family archie bunker these are purposefully
04:19:18.600 subversive things and i i think that's kind of the the the influence campaign going on right now
04:19:27.540 that is you know a lot of people on our side have noticed that or remarked upon that but really
04:19:33.620 i think like the 60s this period they were talking about was like the last like it gave birth to this
04:19:40.580 idea that the jewish people are not going to openly admit what they're doing in the media
04:19:45.620 unless it's two other jews and that's why the ben shapiro phenomena was so interesting and why
04:19:50.960 conservatives kind of liked him for a minute because but he was saying that it's leftist he's
04:19:55.520 saying that it's woke you know it's like that old clip that people like to bring up i think because
04:20:00.680 someone asked dennis prager and dennis prager is also kind of in the hot seat again for a totally
04:20:06.060 different reason but someone asked dennis prager like hey why are so many jewish people attracted
04:20:10.560 to these leftist organizations and he kind of just lists out like well there's this concept
04:20:15.200 of otherness we want to make the world better like they're they're into this like reformist
04:20:19.520 thing and mass action like that's a really big motivation for it um and like if there were any
04:20:25.460 other guy saying that this would be like this man is about to get like canceled and debanked
04:20:30.040 deplatformed but it's you know someone else of the similar ethnic group telling you that
04:20:35.080 actually no this is a big reason why they are although he got in trouble a while a few like
04:20:39.320 weeks ago for basically saying he didn't take issue or like with people like jerking off to
04:20:47.480 like animated lowly stuff yeah i saw that and he he tried to defend himself it's not honorable but
04:20:54.560 like if god doesn't like masturbation then like what are you doing and he's like trying to defend
04:20:59.320 himself like listen i'm a jewish guy like bringing people to jesus or whatever and i'm like i don't
04:21:03.880 think jesus at all is okay with you jerking off the loli there bud but like that yeah you know
04:21:08.880 tell me how we worship the same god we don't but yeah well like not not to make this too too much
04:21:15.580 about you know your jewish lay person but i have yet to see a jewish person that takes that strong
04:21:22.320 of a stance against pedophilia frankly like i i just don't see the same passion against pedophilia
04:21:29.120 that you'll see largely from the dissident right right now is to the point where some people call
04:21:33.440 us obsessed i'm like i think we're treating it with the amount of the appropriate amount of
04:21:38.800 scorn that it deserves whereas the entire world is telling us to chill and i i don't like that
04:21:45.100 and the point i was just making before was around this time you see the black people start to say
04:21:51.040 like oh the the over-representation of jews and academia you're trying to brainwash and
04:21:57.800 intellectually castrate us and that would like you start to see i think the movement against jewish
04:22:03.820 like intellectual influence around this time and i don't think they ever really had an answer for
04:22:09.460 that except against you know white people i guess but like we said there's different forms of
04:22:14.380 anti-semitism yeah absolutely and i mean um i'm skipping around too this is the chapter called
04:22:21.060 the 19 messiahs which was again it doesn't really tell you which 19 they are um just other than what
04:22:27.500 the turbulent 60s brought about and one of the things was interesting because it was from james
04:22:31.900 kelk kilpatrick the editor of the richmond newsleader in and more recently a syndicated
04:22:36.880 conservative columnist and television personality uh he was writing about the adl and he had said
04:22:43.140 kilpatrick wrote and became an intellectual leader of the southern resistance now he attacked the adl
04:22:49.640 specifically for the richmond office in an editorial in july 7th 1958 he observed that
04:22:54.540 anti-Semitism appeared to be on the rise in a section of the country that traditionally seemed
04:22:58.220 rather hospitable to Jews, the South. He suggested that Southern Jews should search out the reasons
04:23:05.140 for this phenomenon and pointed to the ADL's Richmond office. By deliberately involving itself
04:23:10.700 in the school's desegregation controversy, he wrote, it identified all Jews with an unjust cause
04:23:15.780 of compulsory integration. Kilpatrick conceded the agency's right to interest itself in any
04:23:22.480 form of bigotry but warned that militancy invited retaliation he then put a question that he termed
04:23:29.180 the south's many esteemed and influential jews what could there possibly have for a jewish
04:23:34.320 organization that foments anti-jewish sentiments sound really familiar huh yeah there's actually
04:23:43.140 it's like elon musk saying like well turns out the biggest source of anti-semitism is the adl
04:23:47.760 yeah like this is what i keep coming back to this is why i'm so happy we opened with the adl and
04:23:53.260 keep returning to it like this is it's existed essentially unchanged and it's just no people
04:23:58.820 will remark on it intermittently but for some reason no one's really treated it as the subversive
04:24:04.900 organization that it is maybe up until right now like we'll see how this goes i'm not optimistic
04:24:11.760 for that by the way yeah i mean because right now it can still fall back on legacy it's like
04:24:17.380 oh look how old we are we we must be important right you know um because i mean like the whole
04:24:24.240 the whole move and like i get it right i understand why it was done you want to expose an organization
04:24:30.400 like like this book kind of indicates like the the creation of this sort of um ethnic alliance
04:24:37.840 that high low versus middle stuff against mainly wasps and other um you know ellis island or
04:24:44.240 european immigrants but like you want to ban it off twitter it's like if you wanted to destroy it
04:24:52.400 which i know because i mean like elon musk isn't going to be doing that you know i don't think he
04:24:57.040 is but you i mean like the the adl like we said at the beginning like the leo frank stuff's not
04:25:03.860 the way you go about this you point it out saying the questions that elon musk is raising about why
04:25:10.220 does antisemitism seem to like always be on the rise? Or why do they invent antisemitism when it
04:25:15.500 comes to the ADL? It's like, hey, like, you know, James Kilpatrick asked that question in 1958. And
04:25:21.280 there wasn't a really good answer to it. And the worst part is, he said it at a time where people
04:25:27.340 were more comfortable with you asking those questions. And that's what's kind of disheartening
04:25:32.240 about our current situation, which is that you could get away with speaking more openly about
04:25:37.340 this stuff back then so they've essentially remained the same we can just say less because
04:25:41.960 they've effectively won they've effectively gotten everything that they wanted the they are the
04:25:46.940 police they have they wield this power we'll see if musk that the richest man in america can you
04:25:53.440 know combat them but it seems that one of the most powerful and influential men in america
04:25:58.180 can only kind of throw a few rocks at them you know yeah uh but we'll see but i i always say
04:26:06.520 Like, you know, I don't want to get too mask off in these moments, but, you know, a good bit of kryptonite for these sorts of organizations and their defenders to really reveal their true intention would be to say, what are your feelings on the slogan?
04:26:23.920 It's OK to be white. Do you see that as tolerable?
04:26:28.320 oftentimes they'll say no and then why like why why does the anti-defamation league have such a
04:26:34.320 strong position against it's okay to be white now i'm saying stuff that everyone kind of knows but
04:26:39.060 it's like that that's a very simple thing as this this this movement is going on like get at them
04:26:46.420 on twitter get that get at them in public like you know i'm telling stuff people they'll probably
04:26:50.900 already know but that to me is the next thing because that really is what the anti-defamation
04:26:55.320 League is, which is a lot of these groups are, which is it's not so much defending itself as it
04:27:00.380 is critiquing and attacking and subverting things they think are threats. And what they think is a
04:27:06.440 threat is the entire American apparatus as it was at the time. And they gave birth effectively
04:27:13.580 to the America we have now. And I'm not trying to make a lot of people go a bit too far on our side
04:27:19.380 and say, this is why America should be destroyed. I'm not that cynical. And as someone who is out
04:27:25.240 side of america i i don't it would be easy for me to say yeah fuck america but i'm like i think
04:27:30.640 that's wrong i think it's incorrect um and i think it's kind of a silly position to have and i i don't
04:27:36.720 think that like america is effect is dead or anything or frankly i don't think it can be
04:27:41.740 killed you know i don't think i think there's everyone's like looking at their watch waiting
04:27:45.780 for america to fall i'm like keep waiting i guess but that's not going to happen anytime soon
04:27:50.160 yeah and i mean it's kind of funny because this is my like political discourse in the south
04:27:54.560 And I'll make this circle back to you in just a minute. But, you know, he said, political discourse in the South was unnerving for its Jewish population. Two Mississippians, Senator Theodore J. Bilbo and Representative John E. Rankin, filled the halls of Congress with their anti-Semitic tirades.
04:28:12.580 In their lexicon, Jew was synonymous with communist, and they often attacked Jews as subversive allies of the Negro. Rankin, who once described the Fair Employment Practices Commission as a product of alien influences directed by a foreign common term that was based upon a hatred for Christianity, actually introduced legislation to outlaw the ADL but got nowhere with it.
04:28:32.940 both he and bilbo it should be pointed out distinguished between good southern jews who
04:28:37.360 backed white supremacy and new york jews who supported the naacp um and it kind of just goes
04:28:43.080 back to that like again i i have a more discerning instance because i do think that there there's way
04:28:50.380 more nuance and we talked about this in the last time we talked about this book there's a way more
04:28:53.900 nuance between like ellis islander jewish groups that you know or the more 20th century groups and
04:29:01.440 Jews that have been here a long time since like the beginning of the country like Sephardics and
04:29:04.920 others but like you know why is it that rootless cosmopolitans or anti-christian or anti-white
04:29:12.760 like all these other people like what you call why do people call that anti-semitic when you
04:29:16.720 point it out and it's like you know because there is such an overlap almost near congruence with
04:29:21.660 these groups and these ideas and I don't know all the e-drama behind people and whatnot I'm not as
04:29:28.300 involved in these circles as other colleagues that i may have or i know or have i associated
04:29:34.340 with or streamed with but like i do like the the the anti-white label because i mean i feel like
04:29:42.480 whoever workshopped that like jason and them with the no white guilt stuff like i don't know what
04:29:47.640 people's opinions are of them or whatever i've met the guy irl he's a nice dude a smart guy
04:29:52.820 like whatever workshopping you did to just call them like hey they're just anti-white and they
04:29:57.480 hate whiteness and or not whiteness but they hate white people and they want to white erasure like
04:30:02.540 that's really good workshopping and for once that's a weapon that i can rhetorically deploy
04:30:07.780 that i'm now seeing like normie people use on a regular basis and and let me just say i'm not
04:30:14.160 sure if it was jason cohen i know he'd floated a couple other ideas like i've heard anti-white
04:30:20.220 percolating in the scene for like quite some time i remember hearing about it it is the most
04:30:25.080 effective rhetorical salvo I think that exists because for people who don't know my background
04:30:30.880 is in marketing and advertising and what works about it is that it's immediately understandable
04:30:37.860 and where we get into trouble with our arguments is that oftentimes it requires us to explain what
04:30:45.240 we're talking about we like coming up with new terms for things and that that works against us
04:30:50.100 but you can go to a normie and say something's anti-white and the funny thing is they know
04:30:54.460 exactly what you mean by white because in our scene on the dissonant right you know we're very
04:30:58.980 in history into biology into demographics we kind of debate about what's white who's white what
04:31:05.140 groups are in them but you know who doesn't do that is the rest of the world the rest of planet
04:31:11.800 earth actually has a pretty good idea of what white means the only people who debate about it
04:31:15.660 are white people so once you start from that position anti-white everyone kind of knows what
04:31:21.200 it means vaguely european uh they don't really give a shit whether portugal is involved in that
04:31:26.220 but you have an idea relatively pale skin you know like that northern that's almost like the
04:31:32.060 circle that everyone likes to meme on and what's christopher sandbatch and ben franklin say like
04:31:36.420 oh this is what white is but like northern nordic you know european or people like to say that the
04:31:42.120 you know r1b gang you know like that european northern european haplogroup like everyone kind
04:31:49.360 it knows you know it goes back to like i'm gonna here's a reference to like that old murdoch murdoch
04:31:54.660 episode like talking about sargon or whatever it's just like um define a puddle you know like
04:31:59.920 you know what a puddle is like it doesn't like you know what white is you know everyone knows
04:32:04.440 and that the fact that most people know what anti-white means me it implies that they know
04:32:08.780 what white means and the issue being brought to the table here is that a lot of these jewish
04:32:14.640 groups they don't like whiteness they wouldn't say that but when you present them with pro-whiteness
04:32:20.440 they react with hostility towards it and that's relevant and maybe that's a bit too forward for
04:32:27.600 people but it is what is that's what these groups are that's what the anti-defamation league is
04:32:32.020 remember and i come back to what we said at the start my reading of the leo frank case
04:32:36.640 isn't that they invested so much money and created a whole fucking league just because
04:32:41.840 they cared about justice is that they saw blacks and whites uniting against this jewish employer
04:32:47.420 and that really really really bothered them and i think something there's something that they hate
04:32:53.500 seeing black and white people unite over anything and in every instance it seemed that they got
04:32:58.840 their fucking mitts in there and separated them because they just don't want white people involved
04:33:04.100 in any way in these sort of revolutions because they need them as the bad guys and like i was
04:33:08.900 mentioning with uh ben shapiro's book seems strange of them citing him but it's got good
04:33:13.580 primary sources by them saying like what we want to do is we need more white people as villains
04:33:18.260 we need more of the status quo demonized and that that's at the forefront that's been happening for
04:33:25.080 decades and it is what it is and that's why i think giving it a name like anti-white is probably
04:33:31.420 the most effective thing you can do and you can introduce that to your fucking parents your
04:33:36.820 friends you can probably people say that at work now i'm like that's good that's momentum we can do
04:33:42.360 something with that and that's why i think even the adl thing i'm like if you maybe you start
04:33:47.180 pinning anti-whiteness on them that's i don't think that's really been done this effectively
04:33:53.780 before maybe maybe i'm too optimistic but that would require everyone to do it that would require
04:33:59.500 everyone to who listens to this that would require a lot of people to stop um excuse me
04:34:06.420 to stop a shark wooming or to uh just quit shooting at each other yeah it's like this
04:34:14.520 should be an easy win for us like this should be like even people who don't make the jews their
04:34:20.260 main thing like there's loads of people on our side that don't feel terribly passionately about
04:34:24.580 this i have other things i'm interested in i'm not even one that does a lot of it either i mean
04:34:29.440 if i because i think it's a little more multifaceted than just them yeah but the adl
04:34:34.680 made so many fucking enemies this should be easy like everybody hates the adl it really should be
04:34:41.120 but the the question becomes is like and again there'll be people that'll be like oh it's got
04:34:45.200 the woke mind virus or whatever and i was like so was wokeness around in like the 1960s when all
04:34:50.960 this stuff was happening like what what is your that's why i hate the word wokeness like i you
04:34:55.640 know to me it's just like if i hear the word woke i have a definition for it like it's it's a
04:34:59.780 systematizing and homogenizing form of leftist managerialism that still is a shitty long-winded
04:35:05.140 definition but to me that's how i see it play out but like you need a better word for it that's why
04:35:09.480 i think anti-white's just better like why is it that all these wokies hate white people and hate
04:35:14.020 european and want to rewrite every single great european story and novel with some like mystery
04:35:20.400 person that hates the original ip yeah and they're and they're doing it because they know it upsets
04:35:26.460 you that's it like they get they get off on the idea that there's white guys out here that are
04:35:32.000 getting owned by this that's why they make every squad leader in starfield like a brown bitch with
04:35:38.440 like short hair it's like do you like this character or do you like white guys getting
04:35:43.120 pissed off at it you know and that's we kind of internalize that that's what's going on
04:35:49.100 gamer gate it's eternal gamer gate yeah it's it all goes back to gamer gate focus your energy
04:35:57.320 there we can end it here but um maybe we'll wrap it up here uh in a little bit but like
04:36:02.780 the last thing that i did kind of notice and maybe maybe we'll spend a separate time because
04:36:09.080 i do want to talk about the andrew young thing because the whole like zionism aspect foreign
04:36:13.580 policy deserves it because i i want to talk about it and have you read by chance i'm totally planning
04:36:19.360 something else now in the back of my head here but have you ever read by chance the israel lobby
04:36:22.500 by steven wolt and john meersheimer uh no i read meersheimer recently but i didn't read that one
04:36:28.820 it came out in 2007 and if you want to cover it i can i'll read that if you want to do so yeah
04:36:35.220 yeah because i want to also cover it with um steven carson radler but i'm thinking out loud
04:36:40.540 that's we can talk about this later after the show but i do want to get into that because it
04:36:44.480 kind of overlays with this with the whole andrew young affair but in the 70s and 80s with like the
04:36:49.880 the bach case in 1976 and the issue of you know the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment
04:36:59.300 ordered the university to admit bach the the uc davis system was outlawed um you know flexibly
04:37:05.020 admissible college pro or college admission programs the flexibility that he used race as
04:37:10.120 a factor weighing in on the qualifications of applicants. That also happened. But throughout
04:37:14.120 the history of sort of like the Black-Jewish relationship, Blacks were vehemently pro-quotas.
04:37:20.080 They wanted their guys in college, whether or not they were qualified or not. And we already
04:37:23.740 kind of know the story of the competency crisis and affirmative action. But, you know, to quote
04:37:29.320 Friedman here, it was not just the Jews, of course, who feared quotas. Many of America's
04:37:33.520 working class whites who formed the base of Nixon and later Ronald Reagan support were similarly
04:37:37.360 alarmed however jews seem to be the most vocal opponents of racial preferences in the process
04:37:42.100 they position themselves against blacks and black organizations with whom they have been working
04:37:46.160 with so many years and this goes back to the epilogue of the book where even friedman's like
04:37:51.920 listen as america's demographics change which it's kind of weird that the adl keeps track of how many
04:37:56.380 non-hispanic white people live in this country but i'm reminded of the tablet magazine that jacob
04:38:03.500 savage wrote called the vanishing the erasure of jews from american life and it was just kind of
04:38:10.740 funny to like the the kyle ellingson you know image i'm going to share it on screen because
04:38:16.640 this is just kind of too good to not uh put up like you know this the vanishing um asians and
04:38:23.180 jews in america so now you've got the asian and jewish relationship coming in in some issues here
04:38:27.940 about quotas and whatnot and how wokeness is affecting things but huh
04:38:32.900 huh huh huh huh interesting uh it's a little too good to a little a little a little on the nose
04:38:47.060 there but you know suddenly everywhere you look they're disappearing a slow moving pressure system
04:38:53.500 of anxiety exclusion of downward mobility maybe you first notice it in your workplace or maybe
04:38:57.500 get hit when your children applied to college or graduate school could have been something as
04:39:01.040 simple as opening up a netflix splash page it's a get it's gauche to count but you can't help it
04:39:05.680 yourself in academia hollywood washington even in new york city anywhere where american jews
04:39:09.860 once made their market influences in steep decline yeah i always say me my wife when i
04:39:14.080 open up netflix to say there's not enough jewish shit on here it's like the it's like the uh the
04:39:22.540 the guy with like the bell you know every time that you see a historical inaccuracy and it's
04:39:26.520 like fucking nogs and he's like ringing the bell repeatedly it's just like there's he's like oh
04:39:31.100 there's not enough jews in my netflix like huh that's really weird does anyone notice that there
04:39:36.420 was none of jewish people in hollywood what what an audacious thing to say i know what a what a
04:39:43.220 bold claim but uh you know he says you know for for many of us the instinct is to look inward we
04:39:48.100 blame intermarriage assimilation and the loss of immigrant work ethic this of course is a cope
04:39:52.280 because the significant cause of the decline isn't themselves but that of america but that
04:39:56.440 american liberalism our civic religion has turned on us
04:40:00.500 good to know that that's the religion of of of of these people oh so i i just want to call
04:40:09.860 people's attention i might be bearing the lead here but the implication that jews are known for
04:40:14.580 their work ethic i mean this is a fuck this is ridiculous the immigrant work ethic the only work
04:40:22.120 ethic that sticks out to me is the protestant work ethic but okay yeah yeah that i always hear
04:40:27.520 you can't even say the word protestant without work ethic auto-completing after
04:40:32.000 i'm now opening up a new tab to write that protestant
04:40:36.840 well that's the second thing the first thing is the reformation the next thing is work ethic
04:40:41.760 but yeah absolutely um but yeah it's america's elite institutions similar downward trends
04:40:48.120 um museum boards now diversify by getting them to again it's that schrodinger's thing here because
04:40:54.660 if you didn't call yourself white and you just said i'm jewish you probably wouldn't have this
04:40:58.860 issue that's just me that's just me um you know today's jews watch with solomonic amusement
04:41:06.120 as students for fair admissions v harvard is argued before the supreme court um which students
04:41:10.760 for fair admissions won this is before the the supreme court ruled on it on some level we
04:41:15.000 sympathize with our asian american plaintiffs who are suing harvard for using admissions criteria
04:41:18.980 that discriminate against some of the basis of the race maybe they really are the new jews facing
04:41:22.960 the same barriers insidious racism personality scores rural geographic preferences that we once
04:41:27.940 did on the other hand fancying ourselves to be the high caste members of a beneficial elite
04:41:32.640 we pretend not to notice that diversity equity and inclusion is a cultural use to us too us too
04:41:39.380 even though we helped push this shit
04:41:41.800 it's just like
04:41:43.560 I think the Jews
04:41:45.800 favorite phrase is
04:41:46.820 ah consumed by my own mad
04:41:49.520 scheme
04:41:50.440 you're being hoisted by your own
04:41:53.840 petard like it's just
04:41:55.440 oh my god
04:41:57.340 the way this stream has ended is just
04:41:59.620 us like doing accents and shit
04:42:01.680 I was doing it really
04:42:03.400 I was at dinner the other day with some friends
04:42:05.740 from my parish and
04:42:07.520 it's just because
04:42:09.200 i'm not married and neither was my friend who was invited to this dinner by a married couple there
04:42:15.120 there were like three men myself included who aren't married and we always um you know just
04:42:20.940 like well you know we can harass you you know about finding women um because we have some married
04:42:25.760 friends there who like their wives are like please get married or please find girlfriends
04:42:29.900 to bring them to church so we're not so we have friends so we're not so lonely and um you know
04:42:35.460 it's just like eventually these people are going to be nagging us like jewish aunts you know about
04:42:38.860 getting married you know why aren't you like your cousin barry why aren't you married yet you're
04:42:45.200 almost 35 you know like um and it's just like you know it's diversity equity i this i don't maybe
04:42:53.020 this part gets cut from the fucking stream no you gotta leave it in but like it's such i i seem like
04:43:00.740 i i get that i would give off the vibe of someone who would have a really good jewish impression but
04:43:06.280 i don't like i'm not good like but also the thing is when you're you know one day you will be married
04:43:12.840 and one day you will have children and you'll be like me where you're always riding that rail
04:43:18.560 between asleep and tired so sometimes you just drop things without even noticing so you'll be
04:43:24.600 staring dead-eyed someone will say something just go oh god and then catch them like oh i'm sorry i
04:43:30.600 i didn't know who i was surrounded by you have to explain yourself it's like uh you know well
04:43:38.440 because i also keep my like no one knows who i am on like and in real life no one knows that who
04:43:43.940 the frog is which i quite appreciate but like that that tablet article again is it's reflected here
04:43:49.280 and even then at the end of the book friedman's just all like listen there's gonna be a lot of
04:43:54.560 like brown people that have no relation to the holocaust what are we going to do and like you
04:44:01.680 saw this i think they they're going to put a holocaust museum in fortnight yeah um they did
04:44:06.860 this for mlk and people were dressing in white and had whips and shit and i'm just curious what
04:44:13.420 they're going to do in fortnight for that because it's just like it's i think it's sponsored by the
04:44:16.580 adl to do it but it's just not that's that's their that's their meat that that's the new medium right
04:44:21.860 is the video games is the the media stuff and i mean this is where american krogan is
04:44:26.200 quite good at this stuff and uh it's just like you're gonna have to find a way to
04:44:32.760 enculturate them somehow and even it doesn't matter if you're like guatemalan right like
04:44:39.000 you can watch the movie uh air jordan or whatever or you know whatever it was called that movie with
04:44:45.180 matt damon and ben affleck the the history and the story of the air jordan shoe i saw that movie
04:44:50.840 i i i i saw bits and pieces because it was on while i was visiting a friend's place and i was
04:44:57.000 like you know like is it so bad that the american like because the american demographics have
04:45:01.880 changed so radically like isn't it so strange that like americanizing people is just here's
04:45:06.540 a movie about the history of a pop culture brand of a shoe that depresses the shit out of me as a
04:45:12.580 white guy it's it's so funny because i won't get off too much on this but like the movie opens with
04:45:17.900 how like nike it's trying to be an underdog story but it's like nike was the third largest producer
04:45:24.320 of this basketball shoe in america but it still owned the running shoe market so it's still like
04:45:30.640 a highly successful multi-billion dollar organization it's not like a scrappy underdog
04:45:35.540 story but there is this scene i'm funny you brought this up because maybe people have seen
04:45:39.840 it know what i'm talking about the whole story is like worshiping michael jordan and there's
04:45:46.980 something there's something so strange about like the white guy's relationship like the white
04:45:51.820 americans relationship with like the black basketball player but in this it's like a
04:45:57.120 caricature of it where there's i'm gonna see if i can send this to you because i did just in my
04:46:03.440 mind in my twisted dissident right polluted mind i just thought jewish fingers typed this because
04:46:10.200 it's this one monologue matt damon goes on he's pitching nike to michael jordan and he's basically
04:46:17.120 washing his balls saying that no one in this room will be great you will be great you will echo
04:46:23.700 through the ages you are a god it's the strangest thing i've ever seen and the music swells that
04:46:30.720 terrifies me that's so sad and in this the context of the scenes michael jordan he's like
04:46:36.440 fucking 21 years old and there's this like 40 year old man saying i i worship you i'm like i don't
04:46:44.260 i feel strange watching this and but it seems like the the peak of something or the the lowest
04:46:50.780 depth of something oh and to me it's like the barrel scraping you know like we have ran we're
04:46:56.480 running out of shit to make movies about so we're gonna scrape the barrel and it's and like to me
04:47:02.020 i see it as a form of how do i americanize people that have no relation geographically or
04:47:09.040 biologically to this country well yeah here here's what america's about it's about worshiping
04:47:14.800 black people and making brands about well and you know what like just to circle back to a thing we
04:47:20.160 talked about originally this is where again is sort of a marxine critique and the hyper reality
04:47:25.620 stuff but it's like the commodification of a commodification the idea that that's where you
04:47:30.920 black liberation guys the commodification of black bodies yeah well it's like the the within
04:47:36.420 the soul of america is this running shoe the air jordan is integral to the american identity
04:47:42.680 and it's a basketball shoe with this like one guy on it but people are obsessed with it to the point
04:47:49.500 where you ask someone internationally like the air jordan is like a symbol of america and that's
04:47:54.180 so far removed from anything true that is so far removed from logos whatever the fuck you want to
04:47:59.960 call it's like this twisted copy of a copy of a cartoon you know what i mean and that's what a
04:48:05.880 lot of people that's the type of stuff leftists are obsessed with and i'm like there's something
04:48:10.020 there that i get and there's there's a there's a like a scientific investigation of what that is
04:48:15.900 about precisely why this feels so fucking soulless but it feels so soulless but it's enacting the
04:48:22.380 ritual of worship and obsession and that makes it even worse yeah i mean that's that's i think
04:48:29.540 kind of goes back to that nathan uh you know potteritz article that my negro problem in my
04:48:37.120 it's just like that weird like overcompensation and like inferiority complex about like their
04:48:45.120 physical grace and beauty and you're just like what the fuck yeah it's like i don't feel that
04:48:51.940 way about those like about them i like yeah you know i think you're lying as a white guy i'm just
04:48:57.840 like i don't think about black people that way you know and then i read this article and you're
04:49:01.960 just like where does this come from i was forwarded an article i think it was in clossington's chat
04:49:08.600 it was from the jacobite yeah jacobite magazine i think or jacobin jacobin magazine it was an
04:49:15.740 article from a few years ago i think oh the leftist rag jacobin yeah it was jacobin or jacobite one
04:49:23.080 of them i think it was jacobite but anyway but it was still like a jewish article about how it was
04:49:30.060 the title was something like how to destroy the alt-right i was reading an archive of it i'll see
04:49:34.880 if i can send it to you but it was about they're making the claim that within distant right
04:49:39.960 movements it'll sound like a joke but it's like a third of them are petty criminals a third of them
04:49:46.200 are federal informants and a third of them are homosexuals and i'm like i know we would all
04:49:51.460 laugh about that but i'm like this is coming from the be gay do crimes people but that the idea is
04:49:58.200 that they think that we are that when they talk about like the obsession with like black bodies
04:50:04.460 they think they really do think that's us they think we're we're the only reason we think these
04:50:09.960 things the only reason you think a negative thing about a group of people is because you want to
04:50:14.020 them that's the world they live in and they they try and scream at you that that is you as well
04:50:19.680 and but that would never even occur to us and they just think we're lying and so we live in a
04:50:25.380 world where most leftists are saying you're just gay and horny i'm like i'm not i don't know how
04:50:31.000 else to say this to you i know what being horny feels like that's not what i am right now i can
04:50:37.100 like some i can dislike something silence wench i wish not to be horny anymore yeah right like
04:50:43.060 but i mean but okay and this is another weird tangent maybe we can end the show on this though
04:50:48.440 is just like there are a lot of homosexuals and there are a lot of like weird sex pests and there
04:50:55.620 are a lot of like i mean it's the it's the whole never ask a a white racist the race of his
04:51:03.800 girlfriend or whatever like like is there some truth to this or have i just been like effectively
04:51:09.300 psyop you know and there is that sort of like you know or or do they have a point well you know if
04:51:16.840 it's not that white guys just like asian girls if white women took the time to have a sideways
04:51:23.720 pussy we wouldn't need asian girls so this comes back to white women again
04:51:29.520 well that's some old that's some old racism but the thing is also we are aware of it
04:51:39.380 and we're like self so like we actually want to ferret out the degenerates whereas in other
04:51:45.240 scenes they don't they just kind of let them slide and and just to it would have been good
04:51:49.740 to end on that joke but i do want to offer the fact that we are in unprecedented times where
04:51:54.740 you have plastic in your blood that generally men are lower testosterone now than they used to be so
04:52:01.220 there's like weird sexual shit that's happening right now that isn't ideologically driven it's
04:52:05.720 just that like people's minds and attention spans and everything are polluted by modernity like
04:52:12.480 there's the problem is there's not an immediate ideological solution to correct the ship on how
04:52:19.100 fucked up we've become biologically and that's manifesting itself sexually too you know like
04:52:25.640 the birth control in the water and ssris are as much of an influence on you know this stuff so
04:52:32.980 you know i i think we might be the least gay but there's a lot of critics of the distant red say
04:52:39.340 you know you're the most gay i'm like oh yeah more gay than leftists like come on not only are
04:52:44.660 they the most gay they want to be gay or they just i'm so gay i don't want to cut my cock off
04:52:49.760 yeah i'm what a total own you know like we're the only side that's post horny i i i am i am
04:52:58.320 send a fucking tweet uh we are the only side that's post horny um the dissident right the
04:53:05.260 post-nut clarity of politics um that's even better i love that i might i'll i'll tweet that
04:53:10.940 out later but like uh like but i mean like what was it was it or dorno that said if there weren't
04:53:15.920 homosexuals there'd be no fascism um you know love that they love they love that quote they
04:53:23.100 and don't but there's like because there's there's and i i got i got some shit for this
04:53:27.100 because i i cited or dorno and them not too long ago him and orkheimer because it's just like
04:53:32.500 they'll be like unlike fascism it's just like drugs and media and whatnot but i'm like well
04:53:36.860 a lot of us are addicted to the dopamine aspect of the online portions of dunking and ratioing on
04:53:41.740 people and you know we we like our our peeding we like our drugs we like our whatnot and it's just
04:53:47.300 like i i always have difficulty because i do think it's again it's like reading um fukou or derrida
04:53:55.540 or whatever like is there any like what utility can i find from reading horkheimer and adorno what
04:54:01.920 what utility can i find reading max boot or whatever you know like is there any trying to
04:54:07.580 figure that out but um and it we're just we're we're in unprecedented times and i do hope that
04:54:14.620 whatever does come out of this you know adl shit which i don't i i'm i'm very skeptical of because
04:54:21.540 it's been a few days since i've seen musk talk about it and he did kind of get boosted by this
04:54:26.300 and you know i i want it i want something to happen and i will happily go with boosting
04:54:34.920 and supporting it and i already said i've said it on twitter already it's a long overdue for
04:54:39.900 them to be banned and it's a long overdue that like the amount of subversion that has been
04:54:45.520 documented in this book that we've just spent the last like two and a half hours going over
04:54:50.280 um it needs to stop and it needs to end um but you know we're less organized and powerful now
04:54:59.560 than we were 60 years ago and i you know and there are some that claim that like listen you
04:55:04.960 want to do well you want to fight you want to win you have to be successful so i guess we're just in
04:55:09.860 that strange unprecedented time of the the post not you know post orgiastic fire of revolution
04:55:19.140 and here we are we're the we're post-horny politics yeah i don't know one thing that
04:55:25.940 becomes clear when you look at because a lot of people in our side our sector specifically
04:55:32.620 are anti-ideology i think sometimes they go a bit too far i think ideologies do tend to emerge
04:55:40.340 through radical social revolutions like the industrial revolution i think right now we're
04:55:46.580 a very interesting pivot period. I think there's a lot of activity. And this usually tends, we read,
04:55:52.720 covered this book on the show, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. And you tend to see
04:55:57.220 scientific revolutions occur when the current models can no longer address new data, and you're
04:56:03.640 forced to update it. And usually around this time, there's a chaos that emerges, people trying new
04:56:09.440 ideas and seeing what works, but until one is eventually settled on. But that's the process
04:56:14.760 that we all seem to go through.
04:56:15.960 And I don't think we seem to be
04:56:17.880 in a moment of chaos right now.
04:56:21.200 We still are unpacking the 20th century,
04:56:24.240 it feels, and what we learned from there.
04:56:26.400 And I don't think that an ideology
04:56:29.740 has truly emerged to address
04:56:32.220 the information revolution.
04:56:34.300 I still think we're using a lot of 20th century ideas,
04:56:38.180 especially on the left.
04:56:39.320 They're still going at workers and things like that.
04:56:41.780 I think on our side, on the distant right,
04:56:44.760 There's the best chance of a synthesis of these things we know to be true and the new information and the new paradigms and the new historical circumstances that are presented to us that are completely unprecedented, that our ancestors never had to deal with.
04:57:01.580 Because remember, if your ancestors were deposited in this current period, they would blow their fucking brains out.
04:57:07.120 We are in mind-bending times.
04:57:09.000 But there will be a new type of ideology that emerges.
04:57:13.000 And that's not to say that the ideology will be the be all and end all, but that will be almost a barometer that like we're clicking into a new historical paradigm.
04:57:22.220 But right now it feels tense. It feels like something's about to happen. There are things happening like the ADLs being like old things are being destroyed when they haven't been destroyed before.
04:57:33.660 it i think it can be exciting if people let it but also keep your mind open and realize that
04:57:39.360 whatever new paradigm emerges it will not really be like that it will be like the the industrial
04:57:47.460 revolution how that changed fucking everything because you know anyway i'm often a bit of a
04:57:52.240 no i think there's a lot of truth to that and there's like that's why i've been reading a lot
04:57:57.340 more marshall mcluhan lately because like i think yeah he got it i think in a lot of ways like
04:58:03.160 the typographic man thesis you know the the medium is the message but the medium is also
04:58:08.420 the massage how it changes how you think like i know people who think in tweets you know like we
04:58:13.740 were just joking about that earlier you know oh that's a great you know send tweet you know it's
04:58:16.820 fucking funny um and like that affects us and i think that's going to be a big part of any sort
04:58:21.520 of ideology or political formula going forward is that acknowledges the schizophrenic experience
04:58:27.780 that we live in which is why i think yeah you know the post-modern concepts of like the the
04:58:32.700 the delusian concept of schizophrenia is going to be a part of whatever political ideology that
04:58:37.220 does somehow manage to succeed or grow out of this yep you got it and i think that's something
04:58:42.080 when people hear someone like nick land even if you don't agree with his entire corpus of work
04:58:48.880 like he's picking he's on the right track there's a lot of guys who are on the right track it's just
04:58:54.700 when they when people try and wrap their heads around the future it'll make you go insane but
04:59:01.000 as long as we keep trying to process it and and try and figure out like the work there's new
04:59:06.440 questions that we need to answer anyway we could spend an entire new episode on this but well maybe
04:59:10.440 we should because the this will be my last thought and not maybe i'll wrap it up here is is that
04:59:15.460 i i think about that a lot and that i also see people in america and this is maybe a critique
04:59:23.280 of the sora bimari adrian formula common good my heckin catholicism thing is is that all that i get
04:59:30.400 from those guys is new deal me harder daddy like you know like because he had said in responding
04:59:38.100 to a critique of his book from the economist he's like he's a conservative but his policies aren't
04:59:41.320 too different from that of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren he just tweeted saying hell
04:59:45.720 yes and it's like what the what the fuck is this you know like and even and then someone said well
04:59:53.040 you know don't be so critical because you sound like a right liberal criticizing this is marxism
04:59:59.060 and i'm like he kind of calls himself one like even though it's tridentine catholicism or whatever
05:00:04.380 but like it's this weird we're in a we're in a we're in a space where we live in the ashes of
05:00:11.480 the 20th century murray rothbard failed we did not repeal it we're in the ashes of it and i guess
05:00:19.700 like you know this this whole book is a really good explanation of how we got to here um it's
05:00:26.140 not the end-all be-all explanation i don't view them i don't view like jewish interests or jewish
05:00:31.960 groups like this is like the the most powerful things in like the western world i think it's
05:00:37.120 a little more complex than just them but i i just don't know how i i haven't figured out how we're
05:00:44.120 going to advance or or get past it um yeah that'll be a conversation for all the time but before we
05:00:50.600 wrap up here dimes where the hell can people find you and your excellent show with your
05:00:56.040 non-alter ego potentially real person judas fan favorite judas i would tell people check out

05:01:40.200 i don't think we'll cover it well maybe we'll do a third one with like the andrew young affair maybe
05:01:44.340 maybe not but yeah yeah this was uh what went wrong the creation the collapse of the black
05:01:49.340 Jewish Alliance by Marie Friedman.
