00:00:00.000 as far back as i can remember i always wanted to be

00:00:24.540 and i put this to anybody but i'll put it to you okay why is it called french kissing
00:00:35.420 because hear me out they must have had kissing with tongues in ancient greece
00:00:43.500 french kissing's when you do it to a girl though oh you know what that's what it is
00:00:47.660 did you set that up or was that a it was a or that you could you can do a lot of stuff with
00:00:57.040 it you can just leave it leave it in the ground yep yep leave it for the deer leave it for the
00:01:01.540 gulls or you can use that to turn into weaponry which is what you did the orange trireme i know
00:01:08.620 this is the stupidest question i've ever asked of you and of the audience but what is going on
00:01:15.200 what is going on french why is it called that i get french fries but to this day it's still known
00:01:21.060 as french kissing at what point were the french associated with that they were doing in spain
00:01:28.280 the aztecs were doing it yeah what is going on yeah maybe it's a negative space thing
00:01:34.760 it's an english phrase the english are the prudes who are the only culture that had never done it
00:01:40.680 and the first time we saw it was the fucking french so we're like oh it must be uh you know
00:01:46.820 french it's right the first time someone was caught doing it in one of the anglo colonies
00:01:52.560 it was a man tongue kissing a whore which is what you're not supposed to do of course
00:01:56.840 no that's against the rules you're supposed to wear sheepskin mouth condom for that yes so they
00:02:01.860 said oh he's doing the french kissing meaning an ill-advised kiss yes or under the presumption
00:02:07.700 all french women were whores which is very common even still within anglo culture yeah yeah and then
00:02:13.300 that people listening didn't know that they didn't know that that was a whore because they blend in
00:02:19.460 they're camouflaged right yeah they don't they don't have a uniform not especially not back then
00:02:25.300 in canada everyone dressed the same everyone was wearing flannel so we're talking about whores or
00:02:29.380 the french we're talking about whores talking about the french talking about canadians people
00:02:32.900 didn't have uniforms i mean the french definitely had uniform talking about old stock old stock
00:02:38.260 okay so they just oh that's a woman that's a lady yeah so it's it's a type of kissing that you do
00:02:42.980 with a regular lady they didn't know that it was disparaging i want to call them the francos that's
00:02:48.500 not right though is it uh no it sounds like a spanish civil war thing it does yeah but is that
00:02:54.260 our prejudice just because we're you're right into the spanish civil war yeah we can call them um
00:03:00.180 Um, yeah.
00:03:01.940 We call them Frankos.
00:03:03.460 Sick of all this French kiss shit.
00:03:06.600 Nothing is shit.
00:03:08.480 Yeah, I don't know.
00:03:11.440 Someone was grilling me the other day.
00:03:14.540 Mm-hmm.
00:03:15.780 Dragon, Canada's favorite host,
00:03:18.640 saying on our last episode,
00:03:20.400 our coverage of the IRA
00:03:22.960 and their political body,
00:03:26.260 which we're going to explore in this episode as well,
00:03:29.700 i called it sin fein but it's pronounced shin fein it's like the seeks man you pronounce it
00:03:38.600 the way that sounds correct and they get mad at you because their actual pronunciation the
00:03:42.660 authentic pronunciation is really dumb and sounds gay so the person who brought this to my attention
00:03:48.100 was not irish they had no dog in this fight they had no pony in this race but they just felt
00:03:54.500 compelled to correct me basically crazed walking circles pacing for days i'm basically dazed and
00:04:00.440 lost inside a satanist maze you face the brigade i hate you when i pray you get aged and so it's
00:04:06.140 got me thinking how about instead of shin fein it's zinn faint there you go which is a combination
00:04:14.700 of howard zinn plus the song faint by lincoln park nice nice like it's a cover like it's it's
00:04:23.480 his cover of the song it's a third other thing so that's another thing all right and it might go
00:04:29.760 something like this oh no i've become so neutral on a moving train the whites didn't win the
00:04:39.860 terrains to blame i'm becoming pissed and i am a jew be more like me and be less like you
00:04:50.220 you have to you have to edit that with the with the music when you post this
00:05:00.840 please in faint hello this is pedophile actor Morgan Freeman I'm sure many of you are aware
00:05:10.280 that what you just heard was not faint by Licken Park but numb by Licken Park and there's nothing
00:05:18.420 we can do about it now you'll just have to accept my apology and rest assured that my black balls
00:05:27.620 are currently trapped in an industrial lathe of my own design in response to accusations that i
00:05:36.080 didn't pronounce pronounce a bunch of irish shit right i'm sorry everybody gaelic it's a week off
00:05:42.180 i'm coming in hot i'm coming in spicy we got wars to talk about yeah but one thing we're going to
00:05:50.100 introduce on this episode and every episode going forward is uh more artificial intelligence
00:05:56.320 really because uh i realized that i've been paying so much money to these various ai platforms for my
00:06:04.900 work and uh there's one that i like where you can and we were using this just the other day
00:06:10.720 typing in lyrics and making songs from it you i think you submitted some in the chat yeah yeah
00:06:16.120 yeah i remember that yeah so we're gonna be having more of that okay we're gonna have more
00:06:20.920 ai songs here's the problem though is that you hear that and and they're they're so good right
00:06:27.000 the music it comes up with and it's you can give minimal input and it comes up with something
00:06:31.980 funny or you put in your own lyrics as bizarre as they are and it makes them work and it's just
00:06:37.860 this great big blank canvas and every single time i sit down in front of it i'm drawing a blank
00:06:46.660 we this is this is a godsend we can do so much good work we can do the lord's work with this
00:06:54.660 and i swear to god just the other day we had a prompt and it was someone found a rap song
00:07:02.420 from uh uh what was it like a gooning forum no a nofap forum nofap it was like this this is the
00:07:13.140 nofap rap you remember that one yeah and then so i put that in but i needed i needed to go from that
00:07:23.300 and develop that into a song i need the first verse the second verse you actually wrote your
00:07:27.140 your own lyrics i wrote my own lyrics and of course if left to my own devices i'm writing
00:07:33.040 and writing the first not first but third thing i come up with is my hand the god i'm the gayest
00:07:39.580 nigga alive i'm telling you that it very quickly becomes about being a gay black man
00:07:45.500 like i actually i don't know if i have another gear
00:07:50.480 this is the no fat rap no fat made me spit the freshest bars on the map
00:08:03.820 this is the no fat rap my dick's locked up but my ass is crap

00:08:24.460 i bump i stomp i huff crack fumes i'm not talking about drugs i'm talking ass ass dude
00:08:29.620 one hand on the yapa one hand on my cock my black ass gets passed like the hands on the clock
00:08:34.740 balls out in your lane make your nigga ass swerve with your chinese ass face and your chinese ass
00:08:39.620 words i don't know if i got another i don't know if i have another idea in me
00:08:47.200 to be honest it's just it's thug shakers all the way down man that's all that i don't want to be
00:08:52.180 talking about the lure details but it's sort of a i'm talking about the platonic forms associated
00:08:58.760 with being a gay black man uh already he's sighing already he's exhausted it's kind of over i don't
00:09:07.700 like i don't like talking about gay black men he'll he'll never go with me down this path
00:09:13.220 i must walk it alone i'm over here i'm on the other side of the glass tapping my watch
00:09:19.560 well you know i walk a lonely road the only road that i have ever known
00:09:24.000 there we go there we go he's back don't know where it goes but it's only me and i walk along
00:09:30.080 there you go dumb song that was wasn't it no it was all right you didn't you didn't like that are
00:09:37.080 we are we day yeah i mean look i don't think it was a great song but i listened to it a lot
00:09:42.620 that here's the problem we all listen to it a lot yeah you couldn't escape that song no it was
00:09:48.680 everywhere it's even it was on 102.1 like we're listening to it when we were when we were teenagers
00:09:52.560 but by when i was like in my early 30s it was still on the radio so yeah the experience this
00:09:57.620 is what zoomers won't understand and why i don't think we can connect your experience growing up
00:10:02.340 was mine was everyone's which is that song by green day what was it called boulevard broken
00:10:08.600 dreams yeah back to back with lose yourself by eminem and just ping-ponging between those
00:10:15.560 every turn on the radio that's what you're doing and that really inspired i think a type of
00:10:22.000 whiteness that you won't like really like the fusion the holy fusion if i might add of like
00:10:30.780 lower class weirdom and then you know corporate punk corporate emo punk it's a pretty corrupted
00:10:38.320 form of whiteness but it was still distinctly white you know what it's home you know what it's
00:10:44.320 mean can i say something yeah i like me hey buddy you know what you're all right that's okay i had
00:10:54.200 a note here based on just a stream of consciousness that i had while i was rocking my daughter to
00:11:03.080 sleep in a fucking bleary
00:11:05.080 eyed delirium
00:11:06.120 and I get flashes of
00:11:09.060 how I got there. I had something
00:11:11.160 to do with
00:11:11.940 Ron Paul and Ron Swanson
00:11:15.400 so I ended up with
00:11:17.040 Homer Swanson
00:11:18.580 Ron Swanson
00:11:21.020 from Parks and Rec and then Homer Simpson
00:11:23.100 and
00:11:24.880 all I had was just this
00:11:27.060 line I kept repeating again rocking back
00:11:29.140 and forth. The rocking chair is getting creakier
00:11:31.320 what's Homer Simpson
00:11:33.820 Marge
00:11:35.600 you're just doing Ray Romano
00:11:38.240 Marge
00:11:39.580 Marge
00:11:41.380 something like that
00:11:42.220 yeah yeah
00:11:43.320 geez Lois
00:11:45.460 I'm sending all my weed to Israel
00:11:47.800 it's just
00:11:48.940 it's halfway to Ray Romano
00:11:51.780 you can't escape it
00:11:53.740 it's a good bit
00:11:54.580 sending all my weed to Israel
00:11:57.260 there you go
00:11:58.900 there it is
00:11:59.740 There it is.
00:12:01.120 Ooh, oh, geez, Lois.
00:12:02.820 I'm sending my weed to Israel.
00:12:04.660 There it is.
00:12:07.580 Speaking of which, speaking of rocking, my daughter, how are your girls?
00:12:13.160 They're good.
00:12:14.640 I mean, they fight once in a while, but they're actually pretty well behaved.
00:12:18.680 What's a fight look like for them?
00:12:20.740 Oh, it's petty shit because they're a year and a half apart.
00:12:24.460 It'll be like...
00:12:26.360 I have to mediate.
00:12:28.940 there's all these things that they don't want to do they don't want to take a bath they don't want
00:12:32.440 to brush their teeth they each one of them wants to pick what book uh they read and let me ask you
00:12:37.860 does it sort of ebb and flow or they always been like that no this is rebel against the bad i mean
00:12:43.320 they didn't have the they didn't i don't think they even realized that this was a thing that
00:12:47.900 they could do there was like a concept of fatherly authority where i just say it and you just do it
00:12:53.380 up until about a year ago and and then in the beginning the argument was like oh I don't want
00:13:00.440 to take a bath I took a bath yesterday she has to take a bath first but now they get in I taught
00:13:05.980 them how to negotiate but now they negotiate so the eldest is like hey hey youngest I'll if you
00:13:12.960 take a bath first then I'll let you pick the book for the next three days but you have to let me use
00:13:18.420 your lego tomorrow like they're making little deals but now it takes even longer to get anything
00:13:23.640 done so i have to like push them through it and like can you make all the deals in one i don't
00:13:28.080 want to have a second negotiation in 30 minutes can you get all the all of the terms into one
00:13:33.240 these these these girls ears are right in my alley you know one thing about me you know i
00:13:38.040 love deals yeah oh they're deal makers man i love deep making i love making deals for the
00:13:44.580 sake of making deals i would love to be a fly on a wall for this pre-bath time ritual and the eldest
00:13:51.100 the eldest is realized now she had like when she started doing this she didn't have a good grasp
00:13:56.340 of like time preference so she'd be like if you brush your teeth first tonight i will brush my
00:14:03.000 teeth first for a month i'm like that is a bad deal don't do that you're gonna regret that don't
00:14:09.700 make that deal maybe she had to live with a few of those but she's she's figured it out now
00:14:15.700 she's gonna be making there's adults that make these bad circles i've seen adults make bad
00:14:22.440 hypotheticals where it's like they think it's very profound they think they're gonna stump you it's
00:14:27.420 like let's say you you could kill one person but you would save the lives of a hundred other people
00:14:35.280 it's like well up obviously kill the one just kill him yeah no no oh so you'd kill a person
00:14:42.480 like yeah yeah i'm saving 100 lives no no no i oh fuck i think i said it wrong
00:14:46.500 it's like such an it's a clear cut yeah yeah would would you eat a ham and cheese sandwich
00:14:54.500 if you never had to suck a dick for the rest of your life or would you eat a ham and cheese
00:15:01.340 sandwich and just suck every dick on earth forever well well i guess the first one probably the first
00:15:09.020 one yeah i think i've thought about it and i think the first one it's like oh so the easy choice let
00:15:16.240 me reconsider yeah there's actually there actually is no benefit to the second one it's not like the
00:15:22.160 easy choice but it's fascinating because i i think what it is in her case it's like she realizes that
00:15:28.880 by giving the opponent something that the opponent wants she can get them to act in a way that you
00:15:35.360 know like just like it doesn't matter what i'm giving her i'm just giving her something and now
00:15:39.440 she's under my control so like you're holding that remote control right now that person is acting
00:15:43.760 under your control but it's like that isn't that isn't free so then the next connection is what did
00:15:50.560 what do what do i have to pay and like i'm gonna hold you to it for the week now that you
00:15:55.200 promised your sister so i love this shit it's great i love watching them like figure this stuff
00:16:01.560 out they've got like weird ways to manipulate you even with my son who's negotiating authority
00:16:08.100 himself you know because i've had to become more stern and uh firm in my voice over the past
00:16:15.940 it's a couple months just because he's testing us and his mother has her gentle parenting way
00:16:23.140 doing things which is important right explaining things to them as they're happening but at the
00:16:29.400 end of the day he just needs orders he needs clear directions especially because he's a boy
00:16:33.600 like otherwise he's not they're not paying attention it's not their fault they're kids
00:16:39.680 every everything is brighter everything is louder everything is cooler a leaf is fascinating to them
00:16:45.180 you and me have been worn down to a nub by the world right i always keep that in mind so
00:16:50.220 sometimes I might be like oh he's not
00:16:52.220 he's not listening I'm like of course he's not listening
00:16:54.120 the world's interesting
00:16:55.780 yeah the world's
00:16:57.600 not interesting to us we just look
00:17:00.080 every day we wake up and it's problems
00:17:02.200 it's just one
00:17:04.340 giant ass ache machine
00:17:06.540 we call a planet but not
00:17:08.400 to him so sometimes
00:17:10.240 but he needs to cut through that
00:17:12.140 you just give firm orders like you
00:17:13.980 here now march go
00:17:15.720 upstairs go instead of saying let's
00:17:18.220 go let's go upstairs but
00:17:20.140 you know with that in mind there's been some conflicts with authority where he's not getting
00:17:25.500 what he wants and i need to be clear that he's not going to get it and there was a point and
00:17:30.740 every kid gets here where they try and hit you because they've never done it before they don't
00:17:36.160 know they're they don't know they're not supposed to until they hit right so he hit me and then we
00:17:39.960 nip that in the bud so he knows he doesn't hit mom doesn't hit dad right but they got to do
00:17:44.740 something that's energy so he started like beating his chest like hitting himself right because he's
00:17:50.060 like i'm not gonna hit you and he knows he can't break things right he can't smash a plate because
00:17:54.940 then he'll really get in trouble so he's like trying to find a way to express anger in a way
00:18:00.860 that will like get through to us and he sees how it his mother reacts when he kind of hits himself
00:18:07.660 he's not like himself the head it's just like he'll like himself the shoulder like a roman
00:18:12.500 right but hard and then he'll stare at you when he does that and i'm like okay good form
00:18:19.000 like that's that's a worthy opponent sort of thing but i'd be like don't don't but it brings
00:18:24.020 the down don't hit yourself what are you doing but if he's hitting the side of his head that'd
00:18:27.820 be something else or if he was like actually like like smashing his into a wall or something
00:18:33.200 sometimes kids do that yeah but he's not throwing a tantrum either it's like it's this instead of
00:18:38.880 that tantrum not like wailing on the ground and screaming he's like i'm i'm i'm gonna communicate
00:18:44.860 to you dad guess what here's my power like shit okay this is a new thing but the other flip side
00:18:51.780 is that he's wonderful with his little sister oh good i was worried about that good because you
00:18:57.200 never know uh even if they're different i mean they're different genders but they don't really
00:19:02.540 get that really but they know with like a sister and a brother but he's never had a brother he only
00:19:06.640 knows one type of sibling but um you always hear when they're the younger one comes and the older
00:19:12.500 one it was just you guys it was just the three of us right and now there's this other person that's
00:19:19.540 taking all his mother's attention and sometimes they rebel sometimes they regress right because
00:19:24.420 they see a baby getting all this attention then they think logically i'm going to act like a baby
00:19:31.620 i want to be carried and then this was right around the time we were potty training him
00:19:36.180 so he now he's seeing this other baby getting diapers and he's getting out of diapers so now
00:19:40.260 he's thinking maybe i want to stay in diapers you know i mean like little things like that
00:19:44.180 where but he's fully potty trained now he goes in the toilet not the big toilet just his tiny one
00:19:50.340 now but um yeah that's perfect that was less difficult than i thought but i thought you hear
00:19:57.060 stories about sometimes they try and sabotage the baby maybe they hit the baby you don't know
00:20:03.140 right but it turns out he's been a a chivalrous young man like right away he was like going
00:20:10.180 up into like we kind of introduced him to the idea of there's a look but you can't grasp that
00:20:17.780 i couldn't grasp it and i'm old as i'm like i don't know what it's gonna feel like
00:20:23.060 to have another baby daughter i don't know what's like to have two kids just abstractly understood
00:20:27.220 it but then um it took him a while to kind of he ignored her for a while but now he's like hugging
00:20:32.340 her he's saying good night to her he's trying to hold her hand he loves being around her i'm like
00:20:37.220 this was a lot easier than i thought it would be i was expecting the it was it was similar with me
00:20:43.220 the most of the problems really only showed up once they're both of the age that they are like
00:20:50.580 free agents that they can they both have their own desires they can both walk and talk and
00:20:56.320 then you get fights so i mean but i had i mean the same thing that my eldest essentially helped
00:21:03.000 take care of or at least in her own head she's taking care of the youngest like she's like you
00:21:07.980 said you know holding her hand and rocking her and bringing food for her and trying to help and
00:21:13.460 something's wrong she wants to come and tell us if something's wrong so but yeah as soon as it's
00:21:18.660 not a baby anymore and it becomes like an a competitor if you think about it at that age
00:21:23.260 difference like an infant with a three-year-old is one thing but a six-year-old and a five-year-old
00:21:27.780 is like all right we're it's it's time to only there can be only one yeah and it's different
00:21:34.180 when it's two girls or two boys because i think an older brother and younger brother they'll start
00:21:41.220 mercilessly beating each other sooner i think two girls are different but then older boy younger
00:21:48.420 sister yeah way different than older sister younger brother too so i'm looking at this like
00:21:53.140 okay older brother younger sister i don't think he's he's never once been violent towards her
00:21:59.140 yeah and and he can be a pretty violent guy just because he likes to throw
00:22:02.420 shit hey he's even careful around like throwing stuff around hers like okay you're conscious of
00:22:07.540 this you know like wouldn't it be funny if i dropped this ball on her head he doesn't think
00:22:14.180 that's that would be funny so that's good because you never know people don't talk about this but
00:22:20.340 in the back of your mind thing is like man hope he's not a devil child or a psycho they made
00:22:26.420 movies about that yeah because sometimes we always think that adult psychos were probably
00:22:31.220 made that way through mistreatment or neglect or sexual abuse but a devil child can just happen
00:22:41.860 is it i mean is this psychopathy it's an actual something to do with like the folds in your
00:22:46.900 fucking brain or something isn't it or maybe not i don't know why i thought it was that it was
00:22:50.980 probably is it's been it's been studied like the point is is like obviously these people should be
00:22:56.420 executed but at the same time it's not like they can help themselves it's like so psychopathy i
00:23:01.380 think you're right so there's a couple things going on there so psychopathy one way to look
00:23:05.460 at it is you have a hard time connecting with people you don't really feel empathy with people
00:23:10.980 and as a result you can be very self-serving and narcissistic so it's like you don't like you feel
00:23:18.260 kind of alone and that can kind of drive you crazy but when people think of psychopaths they
00:23:22.040 think of violent psychopaths or a psychopath that has certain tendencies right and maybe that's
00:23:27.540 inevitable but i think you could also be a psychopath due to the folds in your brain or
00:23:32.100 whatever biochemical your reactions are happening there and not be a violent psychopath maybe you're
00:23:38.140 just manipulative or maybe you're just going through life feeling alone you know and not
00:23:44.260 connecting people so like we tend to think of the extreme of a psychopath as you know a fucking like
00:23:50.220 patrick as you think of american psycho right but that's i think that's just one extreme version of
00:23:58.120 it so whenever it comes to this i'm like it's all of it is it bio is it nature is versus is it
00:24:04.540 nurture is it biochemical is it social are we all kind of psychopathically yeah it's it's actually
00:24:10.800 all four of those things and a secret fifth thing and it's also interdimensional entities and it's
00:24:17.760 also uh mk ultra and it's like it's all this it's all the stuff it's satan it's it's fucking
00:24:23.600 birth control in the water it's all yeah everything in the world is why the world is bad
00:24:31.900 every single it's it's an aggregate that's the thing about the world it's an aggregate of all
00:24:37.160 the other things inside of it i bet that's that that sounds really deep if you're retarded i bet
00:24:44.080 the world is actually its component parts you fucked up because there are no retarded listeners
00:24:54.700 of blood satellites it's not it's all that one no it's all big brain chads 100 i mean a lot of
00:25:02.440 guys i want to be retarded though well that's the that's the chad move you know it's 2026
00:25:07.520 everybody you want to go full retard retard max i get it i yearn for it yep i would love to be
00:25:15.240 retarded yep look how happy you guys the down syndrome are you'll never have that that's why
00:25:21.020 i drink it's the only time i get to be retarded you know what that is actually why we all drink
00:25:25.740 yeah i'm not joking i'm not being sarcastic i enjoy like i like really and i'm sure that this
00:25:32.460 is not a new thought but being drunk you don't think about stuff you don't fuss about things
00:25:37.820 you don't obsess or analyze it's just it's just a train of hell yes yeah you sleep see when women
00:25:46.060 drink they become animals they become horny animals right we don't we become retarded men
00:25:54.700 yeah right women women lose all agency when they drink and that's how they view it like they
00:26:00.740 shouldn't be held accountable for when we drink we hold ourselves accountable accountable but we
00:26:05.180 understand we became a true retarded self and we love that guy yeah where's he been yeah some guy
00:26:13.160 and like the base of your brain stem but he's there and he's cool i like that guy get hey guess
00:26:19.260 what uh knocking on heaven's doors playing yeah guns and roses cover how into that are you right
00:26:26.500 now nine deep when i was living in uh in china one of the last nights i had with my boys trying
00:26:36.380 to not be sentimental here one of the last nights that i had with my boys before we came back
00:26:39.940 my boys are an american and a latvian and like seven chinese guys but that's what we did we all
00:26:45.180 went drinking and it's like 3 a.m and went to like a playground and we're just like doing the
00:26:49.780 monkey bars and going down slides and i think we jumped a fence to some to the fucking into the
00:26:56.040 train station or something i forget i was drunk we were all drunk so asians get drinking and i
00:27:01.440 think it's every type they do the asian north american asians don't because they're the children
00:27:05.420 of fucking phds and faggots but actual at least look i didn't live in china i lived in hong kong
00:27:11.540 but in hong kong the fucking we saw like carpenters and designers like they're they
00:27:18.140 were pretty cool guys so how about this i think asians every type japanese korean they get
00:27:24.820 drinking they drink the reason you're supposed to which is to get drunk and let loose and put
00:27:31.040 the lampshade on your head yeah and that's right link arms and start singing songs very irish they're
00:27:38.260 very they become irish like we all the europeans become irish when they drink and then you got to
00:27:43.420 find a place to eat outdoors with too much beef or garlic oh just getting nasty with the food too
00:27:50.560 much order way too much and then feel even more sick just being a bunch of nasty boys and of
00:27:57.100 course black people don't know how to drink they actually don't i don't think they can do it i mean
00:28:02.200 they suck at everything so here's what i don't like i don't like south americans because it
00:28:09.320 always seems like they're pretending that they're drinking they're too into it yeah hey were you
00:28:15.340 there you know remember we had that one buddy from guatemala who was like a film guy i'm not no
00:28:19.920 names but like we went to his buddy's party or something one time yeah i think you were there
00:28:23.840 and we're all drinking and he's like you got to order the cerveza like okay and he's like no but
00:28:28.880 you got to do this and he's getting like salt and pepper and then he's got to put like uh
00:28:32.980 some fucking thing i thought he was fucking around i thought i was just doing like a put
00:28:37.420 ketchup in the drink and everything no he was serious this is like oh this is how we drink it
00:28:40.900 in guatemala like are you fucking serious dude you're gonna sit here for like four minutes
00:28:45.380 and like dress up the edge of your fucking drink for a beer that was like six dollars this is such
00:28:50.980 a south american thing to do adding five extra steps and no one wants to drink nobody would
00:28:55.620 know we don't give a we're just talk we're trying to have a conversation buddy it's like this is why
00:29:01.880 you know their birth rates have never been great because everything is over complicated but that
00:29:06.060 they think that makes them the masters of it yeah you know how they say that uh japanese steel
00:29:12.800 of the samurai sword is folded over a thousand times every social interaction in south america
00:29:18.580 is like that it's like the fucking katana yes just a thousand layers and it does oh you think
00:29:25.040 that makes you more effective you think the katana can slice through a tank it can't that's anime
00:29:30.360 shit just like south american guys being lotharios being good women also anime shit
00:29:38.180 it only works for you because your women suck it only works for you because it doesn't work
00:29:44.940 because i'm hip to you i'm on to you niggas i know that you don't like drinking you don't like
00:29:50.080 having sex you're you don't have they always they're acting so religious they're so catholic
00:29:56.160 i went to the vatican and ain't nobody heard of you
00:30:00.700 okay i'm gonna tell you this i've had it
00:30:08.040 had it with these people he asks the pope if he's ever heard of guatemala and he's a guatemala
00:30:15.660 what's that sir this is wendy's you and key
00:30:19.000 the american pope
00:30:23.340 what a great episode
00:30:28.980 did you miss me all right with that in mind i gotta get a bit of show news okay i'll just get
00:30:39.820 to i'll get this out of the way now there's one of it's some bad news but the april event
00:30:45.280 that we're hosting is coming up in april i believe it's april the 11th is a saturday
00:30:50.900 early bird tickets are still on for that um so you get some money off the full price ticket if
00:30:56.640 get it now that's what early bird means people who's going to be there not wait everybody always
00:31:03.440 waits to the last minute just buy the tickets now it's cheaper like you're gonna do it just
00:31:07.920 buy it now you get an avalanche of tickets closer to date that's just how it is we're trying to tilt
00:31:12.480 it earlier because it helps us get ahead of some of the catering stuff some of the drinks that are
00:31:18.800 going to be there it helps us just front load it to take care of the expenses because i believe me
00:31:26.080 no one's making any money off these events we break even because everything we make goes back
00:31:30.960 and is reinvested but who's going to be there ferryman's toll is going to be there and kaka
00:31:36.560 kulak is going to be there and dr ricardo dushane is going to be there and also us and also very
00:31:42.960 many other people are going to be there as well so go to coacanada.com to find out more and to
00:31:50.320 get a ticket it's called the april event and um moving on from that um we have our paywall show
00:31:57.760 everyone go to patreon gumroad you find links to that in various places on our website and
00:32:03.600 the episode clips that we host new episode every single week called real secret coffee hours it's
00:32:10.100 a whole separate show you get the first 150 episodes of blood satellite that's on there
00:32:14.720 plus you get access to this whole other show new episode every week where we're just talking about
00:32:19.660 sub stack reviews and scene and drama if you want to hear us complain about people that you know
00:32:26.340 that's the place to do it uh just recently i reviewed a sub stack from a library of salerno
00:32:34.600 uh who's an american and he was addressing canada and the animosity between america and canada and
00:32:43.220 you would love it i'm going to send it to you actually i'll give it to you for free
00:32:46.960 I'd like you to hear it because
00:32:49.360 some people have pointed
00:32:51.440 out and I've noticed this too but it always starts
00:32:53.420 the same starts with me very jovial
00:32:55.500 very cordial
00:32:56.980 I like this guy
00:32:58.620 I know this guy sometimes I know
00:33:01.540 these people that I review
00:33:02.720 and I'm like hey this is good he's making some good
00:33:05.520 points by the end of it like I want
00:33:07.560 to throw them into the retard
00:33:09.560 squisher like
00:33:11.320 you listen to me get angrier
00:33:13.720 as it goes and it's not
00:33:15.360 intentional i'm not doing a bit because a lot of the time i haven't read these before so you're
00:33:19.820 catching me just become unhinged in real time so if that sounds enticing to you go to our patreon
00:33:26.000 or gumroad so put that in mind we need to alter the release schedule of the show
00:33:31.140 people have noticed that we haven't had coprano society interviews on the end of every episode
00:33:40.020 because i haven't been conducting them you can catch those live on our odyssey or our rumble or
00:33:45.360 our youtube we record those live we put them in the audio of these episodes as well but i haven't
00:33:51.660 been doing this because i haven't had the time and it's for that reason that we're going to need to
00:33:55.960 move blood sally down to twice a month it's going to be every other week so far it's been two of
00:34:02.040 these classic episodes then a live stream and then a week off and sometimes we jumble up the order
00:34:06.840 so it's just going to be
00:34:08.880 Blood Satellite Classic
00:34:10.300 it's going to be these episodes with the book reviews
00:34:12.840 at the end of everything but it's going to be every second
00:34:14.820 week so we're just not doing the live stream anymore
00:34:16.560 the reason is my own
00:34:18.360 the reason is just because I've become
00:34:20.980 so busy lately
00:34:22.000 with the arrival of my daughter
00:34:24.620 who we just discussed and
00:34:26.540 juggling all my real life
00:34:28.180 job demands
00:34:30.420 and trying to
00:34:32.820 juggle all these other projects that we're working on
00:34:34.960 the events
00:34:36.660 that we're hosting various other things that we haven't discussed on the show but you know i've
00:34:42.180 just been at my limit and it was a question of whether or not i can keep doing the show at the
00:34:49.160 current pace or i can reinvest some of that time in getting clients for my business which makes
00:34:54.920 me more money which helps me support my family it sounds dramatic but i'm like i need this time to
00:35:01.200 bring in more income and i make some income from the show with the paywall episodes and everything
00:35:05.800 and that means a lot it means a great deal of people contribute whatever they can to support
00:35:12.440 the show if we were making more money with the show it'd be a different story i'm not saying we
00:35:17.160 should maybe we shouldn't be making any money on this right who are we to say the fact that we make
00:35:22.920 any money at all is a miracle but as i'm sure every man here can understand when it comes to
00:35:29.960 you know the needs of your family i'm saying should people already understand okay but that
00:35:34.760 that's the reason don't blame jesus don't blame anyone else is me that like i'm still getting
00:35:39.400 four hours of sleep at night i just can't make the time work without having to offset it some way so
00:35:46.120 and it's not like we're going away you know we're still here i mean half the stuff that we're
00:35:49.320 working on is stuff that's going to show up in the news feed anyways so like it's not like it's not
00:35:54.360 like we're going anywhere we've never logged off we're always here we're always in our communities
00:35:59.720 we're always we're always just around the corner commenting on stories such as but i i also mean
00:36:07.720 on a more serious note like i'm sure everybody else is feeling this but this the last couple
00:36:12.840 years but even more so the last six months is feels like everybody's starting to come together
00:36:18.280 people are forming networks and big projects are taking off not just us but all over the place
00:36:23.880 so and but it is also true of us so i mean we're on the show but there's also there's
00:36:28.920 all kinds of events that are coming up that we'll be a part of or we'll be involved in and there's
00:36:32.440 other other things happening so yeah and like i said there's big swings that we're taking with
00:36:39.480 some things that we have not mentioned on the show with organizing with planning things that require
00:36:46.840 investments and getting into rooms with people with money and explaining what we want to do over
00:36:52.680 the next five years um so it's not just the show the show is important and and i don't think we
00:36:58.360 would be where we are at without the show and i try and be clear about that with people that if
00:37:03.960 it was to the point where the show became a hindrance or i wasn't having fun we'd probably
00:37:09.320 stop but i'm here because i'm very happy doing this it sounds silly it sounds like something
00:37:16.760 you wouldn't want to admit to someone this is for the confessional saying this rest assured
00:37:22.760 we're not going to stop until i guess things become truly untenable like if things got really
00:37:27.400 bad in canada or if i wasn't doing the show i'd probably still be reading these books and then
00:37:33.080 i'd have to start a show just to talk about it because why the am i reading yeah how psychopathic
00:37:38.280 is that imagine just being a guy who reads no couldn't be me couldn't be me but perish the
00:37:44.360 thought i can't put that evil on you imagining that no and because and where would i where could
00:37:52.280 i'd mention stories like this with the gravitas that they deserve i'm looking at page six right
00:37:58.040 tourette's activist john davidson is at the bafta awards he's an actor or he was there with a
00:38:07.800 movie called i swear which is about someone with tourette starring someone with tourette's as far
00:38:13.560 as i understand but you know what he done did he done shouted the n-word
00:38:19.720 I thought that's all they do. Isn't that like the whole point of the BAFTAs?
00:38:26.320 Isn't that the reason you go to these events?
00:38:28.180 Yeah.
00:38:28.720 It's just scream nigger.
00:38:31.020 I'd like to see a chart of how many times the word nigger appears on television and what percentage of that is the BAFTAs.
00:38:37.760 I bet it's like 30%.
00:38:39.280 To the big question this morning, why did these outbursts remain on the broadcast when other parts of the event were cut?
00:38:45.720 Like the words of one award winner who said,
00:38:47.500 free palestine especially when you think that there was a two hour delay on this broadcast
00:38:53.260 now all across social media black online users would share their frustration with seeing the
00:38:57.980 moment get excused people are making all kind of excuses for this guy while i sympathize with
00:39:03.580 anyone suffering from an incurable disease like tourette's syndrome i don't think racism is one
00:39:08.860 of his symptoms another would write white people be having dementia alzheimer's autism tourette's
00:39:15.260 but still know how to say a slur. While another user would write,
00:39:19.340 so I guess we need to invite Will Smith to every award show huh?
00:39:23.580 Some of you are getting on my last god giving nerves. The fact that I have to come up here
00:39:27.340 to break down for you the ABC's 123 Dore Mi's of racism. Some of you have the bombastic
00:39:32.220 caucasity to want to litigate the racial intent of a white man. John Davidson is a racist white
00:39:36.940 man with torrid syndrome also can i just explain what makes this perfect and they can't express
00:39:43.900 this in the article um let me say shouts and words during bafta telecast this was broadcast
00:39:50.140 while michael b jordan and delroy lindo presents so people don't know who those are
00:39:55.500 those are two black actors yeah not only those black actors those are proud black actors michael
00:40:01.580 b jordan is the guy the young guy that they're they've tapped to be sort of the afrocentric
00:40:07.500 guy oh i thought he was a basketball player what you might you thought it'd be funny is that why
00:40:13.660 there's a b yeah no yeah you had to have the b i think i also i had this i didn't realize it was
00:40:21.500 the british the british academy film awards i thought it was the nigger academy i didn't know
00:40:28.700 know what the b stood for this was the problem i just thought this was the telecast for the
00:40:33.040 nigger academy awards um it was a different thing it was called the baftas
00:40:38.120 just watching watching a reality tv show love island i thought this was nigger island why
00:40:46.860 well based on what yeah it is british so because it's british you have to question whether or not
00:40:55.860 the word means something else over there.
00:40:58.680 Yeah.
00:41:00.200 We think it means
00:41:01.700 a black individual. That could just be
00:41:03.880 one of their many heinous
00:41:06.060 sandwiches.
00:41:08.060 He's shouting a nigger because
00:41:09.820 he wants two slices of bread
00:41:11.760 with mashed up carrots and anchovies.
00:41:13.980 Right, right, right. No, really.
00:41:15.900 He needs
00:41:17.940 to go for a cigarette break and he goes,
00:41:19.600 Faggot!
00:41:21.460 Which is what we also do when we go for a cigarette break.
00:41:24.800 That's true.
00:41:25.860 wouldn't you love to go to britain and just fit in for once oh i'd love it man and not just always
00:41:31.400 starting to skirmish every time you enter and exit a room yep so this these are the actors
00:41:36.740 they're they're they're representing movie centers which as far as i can tell every
00:41:41.840 african-american would like to vote as the president of the united states if they love
00:41:47.660 this movie they think it's an important movie an important black movie so you had two important
00:41:52.940 black actors and then there's just this guy screaming nigger at them and black twitter
00:41:59.320 erupted of course a because they don't know what tourette's is like they don't know what anything
00:42:05.200 is if you're black you're constantly learning things which to us would be exciting right but
00:42:12.860 to them it's just confounding and frustrating and so they're they're just like well why why
00:42:18.600 didn't he call anyone else a nigger and to that i say fair point he actually only called the black
00:42:26.800 people nigger because they say he's got Tourette's so he's always saying fucking shit and your
00:42:32.760 mother's cunt things like that yeah but he did only say nigger to the black people it's it's
00:42:39.280 it's not egalitarian and they say well no it's just triggered by what you see i'm like
00:42:43.700 interesting there is sort of a psychoanalytic part to it you didn't call them chinks maybe to
00:42:51.500 a point but i also loved the non-apology that the guy gave nothing that's what you need to do
00:42:57.040 yeah by saying like this is just my condition i didn't mean it i don't harbor any of these feelings
00:43:02.460 like you kind of do like just to be honest you kind of do because you know what the word means
00:43:08.520 you know that's for black people and you know it's a bad thing to say like there is sort of
00:43:13.380 you can't help saying it but you i mean look the reason that they're offended the reason the
00:43:19.500 themselves are offended by the word is because they understand that is a bad word right
00:43:24.500 the is my understanding of the way that those ticks work in a certain percentage a large
00:43:29.120 percentage like a fourth or a fifth of all people with tourettes is it's like a uh it's like a
00:43:35.900 intrusive thought so it's drawing from the part of your brain that understands what the most
00:43:41.380 the most socially
00:43:42.720 the worst possible thing you could say
00:43:45.080 the most transgressive thing
00:43:46.440 like even in the film, the film that that guy is in
00:43:49.120 there's a bit where he's walking
00:43:51.120 up to a cop and he says
00:43:52.960 he looks at the cop and says I sell crack
00:43:54.740 so it's like the point is why did you say that
00:43:57.100 or he said pigs in a blanket
00:43:59.200 or something and I sell crack
00:44:00.240 so he's trying to say the most transgressive thing
00:44:02.540 that's how the tick works
00:44:03.760 if he sees a Chinese guy he'll say chink
00:44:05.800 if he sees a black guy he'll say nigger
00:44:07.180 so they really don't understand
00:44:09.600 how the disease works he literally does not hold he under like the guy's probably a bleeding heart
00:44:15.580 fucking liberal they put him in the film well this is where i'm going with this which is they
00:44:20.720 will say this man is not racist and i bet he's not racist he's not racist he's a fucking loser
00:44:25.920 he's a faggot like he's not one of us dude here you go though if he was racist how would that
00:44:33.100 affected okay interesting let us let's discuss let's say like you or i had tourette's would
00:44:40.480 would the slurs become worse or would they become more like we wouldn't we wouldn't say
00:44:47.820 nigger we would yell canaanite no you know what um uh you and i if we had tourette's would shout
00:44:57.880 trans rights or human rights
00:45:00.140 ooh okay
00:45:02.000 right that's what we'd shout
00:45:03.660 we'd shout things that really because
00:45:05.460 I think so I think that because we're thinking of things
00:45:07.880 that in the social environment that we're in
00:45:10.020 what's transgressive what would make people
00:45:12.140 angry you know with
00:45:14.000 Jews you win that's what we'd be shouting
00:45:15.960 that would be even more maybe more insulting
00:45:18.120 that you're interrupting your moment
00:45:19.380 let me just look up disgraced propagandists
00:45:21.060 twitter and I'll just quote some of it
00:45:23.560 and that's probably what I would show
00:45:25.440 with jews you win with jews you win can you imagine just shouting with jews you win
00:45:32.880 at like two black actors and they're like yeah i guess so i wonder if they would take
00:45:38.840 more offense to that
00:45:40.480 you would really piss a bunch of fucking black actors off as if you made it about ukraine
00:45:49.600 he's got Tourette's he just showed Slava Ukraine
00:45:54.840 guys like us get Tourette's it's just incomprehensible to most other people
00:46:06.360 but in our minds like this is super offensive
00:46:09.320 we're so alienating we can't offend people with our tics yeah but yeah this guy god god love him
00:46:19.600 He is being put, he's got every black American gunning for him right now.
00:46:25.280 Because they get, it doesn't, they're never going to understand it.
00:46:28.340 If they did understand it, they would try not to.
00:46:31.380 Because it'd be, what all they heard was someone said the N word and they must pay.
00:46:34.780 That's it.
00:46:35.380 That's it.
00:46:36.440 And what does pay look like?
00:46:37.640 It could be anything from finding him a trillion dollars to killing him.
00:46:43.160 Those are both ends of the spectrum though.
00:46:44.780 There's no third option.
00:46:46.240 He must pay all his money forever or die.
00:46:48.420 Yeah, yeah.
00:46:49.020 there's no like forgiveness in there on that chart look at him he's just such like a he's
00:46:55.820 like a weird guy too he's wearing a bow tie but then also a necklace he's with a woman who's
00:47:01.740 wearing some some blink what's that say she's wearing like a 3d printed necklace with a message
00:47:07.940 on these are odd people she's wearing crocs john davidson with his friend dotty okay so this guy
00:47:14.900 he's got Tourette's he's there with just an old lady that he's friends with don't like that she's
00:47:20.980 wearing crocs you see this she's wearing some kind of funky necklace with a political message
00:47:28.500 she's not dressed for the occasion she looks like a dumpster fire she is tragic
00:47:33.620 what does Tourette's make is that kind of like autism um i mean you guys is that this guy has
00:47:42.580 Tourette's and just sucks also you live on the outside of society i mean i think
00:47:47.140 does it does it change anything else i'm not sure i actually don't know that much about it
00:47:51.300 but uh yeah i don't know i wonder why that would i mean they're english right maybe this is just
00:47:57.380 back to can't understand what's up with english people it is very english coded yeah you wear a
00:48:06.260 muumuu to the baftas i don't want to hate on an old white lady i mean that's true she could be my
00:48:12.180 mom i don't know but also come on can we get away with saying we're just hating on the british
00:48:18.680 look i'm look as much as the situation is funny i'm on the guy's side as much as he might be a
00:48:24.000 liberal to me it does just it riles me up the the regular disgust with niggers at how they can't
00:48:31.720 fucking just laugh at themselves or take a pass on anything everything has to be a crisis with
00:48:38.040 these fucking gorillas so i feel i do i honestly politics aside i feel sorry for this fucking guy
00:48:45.180 they shouldn't have put him in that situation that's that's the other thing like if we're
00:48:48.420 being serious right now i i think he thought maybe this was a moment it probably was look
00:48:54.120 he's not an actor he's not a fucking film dude he's just a random guy he's probably he's look
00:48:59.240 his his drama his crisis is actually real he's a real fucking guy who's been through this shit
00:49:05.540 and they made a movie about him because they thought it was so interesting
00:49:08.340 or because they thought it would make a lot of money because they're Jews.
00:49:10.420 If you had that affliction and you not only muttered things but shouted them out,
00:49:17.860 I'll tell you what I would do.
00:49:18.600 I would probably just not go to these events.
00:49:20.560 I would be too embarrassed of this thing happening.
00:49:24.900 And maybe if I was like that, I'd be like, you know what?
00:49:27.080 Fuck them.
00:49:27.840 To hell with them.
00:49:28.920 I'm not going to stay cooped up.
00:49:30.960 But also, everyone's looking at this and thinking,
00:49:34.500 that oh Tourette's people should never go out now that's the consequence let's give this guy
00:49:38.500 the benefit of the doubt that he probably knows that look at it he's fucking 55 how old is he's
00:49:44.700 old right and he's been through he's probably dealt with this exact situation a thousands of
00:49:50.600 times at a smaller scale and if I'll bet he was gaslit to some extent the fact that they made a
00:49:58.440 film about him that he has an outpouring of sympathy and love from everybody like wow
00:50:02.900 it's unbelievable that you know everything that you went through and yet you persevered
00:50:07.560 and that you know and this is supposed to be a celebration and you go there and at that moment
00:50:13.780 the rug is pulled out from underneath you because you have one of your regular outbursts which to
00:50:19.100 this point you've been working with these people on a film which is about the whole point is to be
00:50:23.940 sympathetic and but at the award ceremony because it's full of fucking niggers they the whole thing
00:50:32.300 just turns back around and now the entire
00:50:34.120 world is against you again.
00:50:35.480 It undid all of the good work of the film.
00:50:38.260 Yeah, essentially it cancelled the whole film.
00:50:40.740 It cancelled out the work of the film.
00:50:42.820 It's hilarious.
00:50:43.980 It really is a tragedy.
00:50:49.820 Couldn't be me.
00:50:51.260 Nope.
00:50:53.120 I would, if that were me,
00:50:54.920 I wouldn't tell people I had Tourette's.
00:50:56.400 Yeah, because we just say nigger consciously.
00:50:59.000 I would just be the guy
00:51:00.700 who says these things.
00:51:01.960 you just say it yeah it's like why'd you say that well because you're a nigger because i don't i
00:51:06.520 mean i don't like you that's why i said it i wanted you to be offended oh there he goes that
00:51:11.380 cool guy he should have leaned into it there's a cool guy that's always seemingly randomly calling
00:51:19.140 women cunts and cocksuckers and fucking calling people's grandmothers niggers that fucking awesome
00:51:27.100 guy yeah he was born an unwilling right-wing podcaster are you sure you don't have Tourette's
00:51:34.320 no no it's just me I love being me there you go tell them you can get free money for this no
00:51:43.360 I'm doing it for free all right we're done with this we're I'm just getting beyond my reach here
00:51:50.080 with a topic like this Iran it's the deal geez man what's up teen warships are now stationed in
00:52:00.420 the Mideast part of the largest buildup in the region in more than two decades Axios now reporting
00:52:05.180 that special envoy Steve Wyckoff wants any nuclear deal with Iran to last indefinitely Iran's been
00:52:10.000 offering a number of years but a sunset on that Vice President J.D. Vance appearing to agree with
00:52:15.120 Wyckoff in an interview on Fox this morning listen here you can't let the craziest and worst regime
00:52:19.820 the world have nuclear weapons. That's what the president is accomplishing. That's what the
00:52:23.600 president has set as our goal. As president, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never
00:52:29.480 hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must. That's why in a breakthrough operation
00:52:36.720 last year, the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on
00:52:44.040 iranian soil known as operation midnight hammer we had have but also had and shall have again
00:52:55.160 a community member who lives in iran right-wing persian creator of many memes and pieces of
00:53:00.920 content for the show and uh he was in the lead up to what we're discussing what are we talking about
00:53:06.760 we're talking about war in iran but we started hearing it from him first he's our man on the
00:53:12.440 ground and he's saying well it looks like things are going to kick off tomorrow you might not hear
00:53:18.360 from me again and as he was saying that i thought this is the fourth time i've heard this from him
00:53:25.880 i think and it really occurred to me around's been on the brink of world war three for quite
00:53:31.880 some time hasn't it it always it always seems like world war three is going to happen if there is a
00:53:36.520 world war three it's it they always seem like a couple days from that right and they've been
00:53:42.700 involved in so many international incidents recently but it's always like right on the
00:53:48.680 precipice and imagine living like that first imagine living in a country where they just
00:53:56.020 shut off the internet for what was it two weeks three weeks i wasn't that long i think during
00:54:01.660 days it was it was not a few days it was like no it was at least a week i think it was two weeks
00:54:07.140 all right it was a while during which time they were just killing all the shit lips
00:54:13.460 that's what they're like look i want that true i don't know if that's true but i wish that were
00:54:21.660 true there was a revolutionary action that was occurring that from what i was hearing was
00:54:27.740 inspired something of a color revolution inspired by western israel interviews whatever it might be
00:54:34.820 so they shut it down found all them killed them all tens of thousands of people from last count
00:54:40.280 and then just flicked the internet back on if that's the wrong narrative let me know well i
00:54:45.100 look i i'm not the guy to ask right i just had read in a couple places that they were kind of
00:54:50.720 intermittently flicking it on and off but it was mostly so they could do triangulation to figure
00:54:55.700 at where all the massad agents were because they had access to satellite that was not connected to
00:55:01.060 the iranian well that's what it was and they found them and killed them but there was a lot of but
00:55:04.980 the whole point is it's not like oh it's china where they have a firewall they're shutting
00:55:08.260 everybody's internet and it's like no they have to turn the utility off turn the lights off to
00:55:12.340 see what glows and then they chase down the glowing spots and then they turn it back on again
00:55:16.820 so i mean i was looking at charts that showed like downtime like the internet was like off off
00:55:22.020 for a long time oh yeah and when the internet was off they could tell who was still connecting
00:55:26.660 because they were using starlink exactly for everyone else it was the internet was was gone
00:55:31.260 they couldn't access it um and so and they use that to triangulate these individuals and then
00:55:38.320 kill them from what i was reading at the time it was quite a bit so imagine that all that's going
00:55:43.960 on then they flick it back on and then you just go back to work that's already wild then the next
00:55:51.040 month oh you're right i just looked it up in some areas it was over two weeks that's crazy
00:55:56.300 click on the tv and america sent all of its navy to fuck you and they're saying that you better
00:56:06.280 look i'm looking at this what are donald trump's strike options in iran this is the economist an
00:56:12.820 intense armada threatens the regime but it is not yet blinking and i'm looking at uh
00:56:19.320 share this one here this is why on echoes of the iraq war trump deploys largest middle east armada
00:56:27.000 in 23 years against iran with the uss abraham lincoln leading the charge now i believe it was
00:56:34.940 the uss gerald ford was what i was reading about that was having a problem with the toilets
00:56:40.920 all their turlets were backed up
00:56:43.960 and i can't tell i can't tell if this is true or false well what do you you hear that what do
00:56:49.980 you think is causing this i heard that gerald ford was the first aircraft carrier to have
00:56:55.220 all of its urinals replaced with regular toilets so that they could be gender neutral
00:57:00.860 i thought you're gonna say gerald ford was the first president who shit his pants and i would
00:57:06.360 have believed you it's probably also true though yeah it's the first push for gender neutral
00:57:11.720 bathrooms which meant no urinals just stalls and just single-use bathrooms so there's lineups
00:57:17.400 right up to the poop deck bomb has been planted and uh so now they're shitting they're pissing
00:57:25.460 they're barfing all over the place this is camp of the saints we've discussed what that boat was
00:57:31.860 like that's what that's what you're sending to iran right now and all these recruits they're black
00:57:38.680 uh they're indian uh they're hispanic so really you've just sent a bunch of barf and piss and
00:57:47.160 brown guys over to iran that's the last thing we need that's a very american car
00:57:53.640 kid rock blasting through the speakers as i understand it that's the only thing they're
00:58:00.180 allowed to play that and highway to the danger zone by executive order for the first time since
00:58:07.340 the prelude to iraq the united states amassed an overwhelming multi-domain military force in the
00:58:12.140 middle east this is no longer standard geopolitical posturing or routine rotational deployment that's
00:58:18.520 what we were hearing originally that they're talking about limited strikes right how many
00:58:23.640 times that they send rockets out
00:58:25.620 Iran loop a few things
00:58:27.280 that's just flirtatious
00:58:29.740 yeah buddy but then
00:58:31.740 there's this multi-day
00:58:33.580 missile campaigns that destroy entire
00:58:35.560 sections of cities and they didn't even begin
00:58:37.480 building up anywhere near this much so
00:58:39.180 I remember there was
00:58:40.620 a friend of mine he
00:58:43.400 runs a channel called operational
00:58:45.720 art of war and
00:58:47.600 I don't know if he
00:58:49.600 wants his name associated with it but
00:58:51.640 he was very interesting
00:58:53.520 figure and he predicted the venezuela fracas remember that remember they yoinked that guy
00:59:01.760 and all he was doing which a lot of people don't do is is tracking where fleets are headed so you
00:59:08.740 can tell what the military is going to do by where they're sending their people and a lot of people
00:59:12.340 don't check that stuff it's you need to parse through a lot of information but just by troop
00:59:17.960 buildups alone you could say okay it's going to be in this something's going on in this region
00:59:21.560 probably around this time give yourself a window of time for a few months and so he he had thought
00:59:28.680 oh they're going to do something in venezuela probably get this guy december it turned out
00:59:32.880 to be january whatever close enough right so he's been following this for a while like i was thinking
00:59:39.540 it'd be limited strikes until he was saying early on like not just look where all these aircraft
00:59:44.180 carriers are headed oh okay because until that point nothing's anything don't listen to posturing
00:59:49.520 don't listen to threats don't give a shit about historical precedents where are the big ships
00:59:55.360 going and so you know maybe now more than ever there might be something too based on what you've
01:00:03.380 been reading have you heard much about this or do you have an interest in this i've been reading
01:00:07.420 about this and i read the jews want to nuke aran they told trump that they want to nuke aran
01:00:13.460 trump is pissing himself like the little boy he is and thunks that if he just drops some jdams
01:00:19.860 he can avoid a nuclear conflagration and that they want to do it for purim because purim is
01:00:26.040 the celebration of their ancestral defeat and rape and genocide of the persians a thousand years ago
01:00:31.560 so they would love on the monday or tuesday of next week to do it and so that's probably roughly
01:00:37.500 when they're gonna attempt this once you see how much israel loves genocide it really should make
01:00:43.820 you rethink everything you've heard about the holocaust just based on that alone yeah just based
01:00:48.540 on how you see well i mean the real obviously the real holocaust was a holocaust of whites that was
01:00:54.060 the whole point of the second world war was to kill as many of us as they could and they succeeded
01:00:57.580 yeah but this is the holocaust was real in that sense holocaust is real in the sense that
01:01:02.940 it's amazing we're taking that it's our thing now it's ours now the holocaust was the hundreds of
01:01:08.400 millions of whites that were killed by the jews in the second world war based on what you just
01:01:13.160 said i'm looking at martyr maid right here and he summarizes this point of view and this i was
01:01:19.100 hearing murmurs of this i had people in our community saying this is probably what they're
01:01:23.320 doing it snowballed i liked it when i heard it but i didn't know if it was real but just to read
01:01:30.100 his point here he says trump has been cornered his options as he sees them are to start a war
01:01:36.020 with iran or something like on something like our own terms or be dragged into it at a time and in
01:01:41.580 a manner of israel's choosing the third option telling israel to fight their own war is not on
01:01:46.440 the table because he believes that he does that israel will use nuclear weapons and he and members
01:01:52.460 of his family will be physically oh that's a big admission you fucking kike ah oof big oh delete
01:01:58.860 your account the military build-up has had three purposes first he hoped that iran would capitulate
01:02:05.060 and submit to an agreement probably that tracks for me second to have enough forces to deal with
01:02:10.760 the fallout if israel attacks and iran retaliates against american bases and finally to potentially
01:02:16.780 strike first and at least be able to control the first phase of combat the talk of limited
01:02:22.180 strikes reflects his hope that iran can be intimidated uh that's where we're at that sounds
01:02:27.980 about true to me i think that's that's where is knowing trump and knowing israel that's probably
01:02:37.500 how this has played out um but because i believe that's true that is all the more infuriating
01:02:44.420 because everyone knows about israel's nuclear capabilities right does israel have nukes yes
01:02:51.380 they haven't admitted to it officially
01:02:52.980 but of course they do
01:02:54.780 they imply that they do
01:02:57.440 they are the only
01:02:59.620 country, there's
01:03:01.220 four countries that have
01:03:03.740 not signed the
01:03:05.500 nuclear non-proliferation treaty
01:03:07.860 so
01:03:09.560 it's Israel and like Sudan
01:03:11.440 and a couple of some who gives a
01:03:13.640 shit countries and of those
01:03:15.800 four, three of them aside
01:03:17.600 from Israel are trying to
01:03:19.300 they're in the process of signing on
01:03:20.940 in the process of getting checked
01:03:22.980 or whatever. Israel, I believe, is the
01:03:24.880 only country on Earth that just has no
01:03:26.940 interest in it, has rejected it.
01:03:28.920 They're the only country in the world that
01:03:30.880 says, no, it's...
01:03:32.220 We don't believe in not having a nuclear war.
01:03:35.160 Every historical fact available to us
01:03:37.060 proves every prejudice that we have
01:03:38.920 about the Jews. And that's such a perfect
01:03:40.880 example. Like, what's the one country, just take a
01:03:42.780 fucking wild guess, that didn't sign on
01:03:44.840 to the nuclear NPT, and yet
01:03:46.860 has a stockpile of nuclear weapons
01:03:48.660 and won't tell us how many... The other thing, you know what's funny about this?
01:03:50.940 and this is the reason I think Trump's fucking gay
01:03:53.260 he's a puppet
01:03:53.760 is this whole thing of like well look
01:03:56.980 I mean if we don't fight the war for them
01:03:59.280 it'll start a third world war
01:04:00.340 no it won't
01:04:01.480 because if Israel had enough nuclear weapons
01:04:04.560 to cause a serious war
01:04:05.820 they'd tell us how many they had
01:04:08.120 because they'd be using it as a threat
01:04:09.260 the reason they're not telling anybody how many they have
01:04:11.780 is because they don't have that many
01:04:13.400 and they're probably not that good
01:04:14.900 let Israel nuke Iran
01:04:17.580 and then let Iran and Pakistan
01:04:19.780 nuke israel let the entire middle east nuke itself and the and we will have a 500 year
01:04:27.160 golden age yeah because to keep this in context i'd heard the number 80 thrown around that
01:04:35.380 israel could have 80 nuclear weapons i say weapon because there's some doubt that they have
01:04:43.960 the delivery capability to to employ what we know as the samson option what they've called
01:04:50.340 the samson option which i think is if this story is true and i believe it's true that would lend
01:04:56.940 credence to the samson option which is that israel's holding the world hostage because
01:05:00.640 they said if israel falls we're going to just throw nukes in every direction indiscriminately
01:05:06.660 and cause a global thermonuclear war it's this global suicide bill so the only thing more jewish
01:05:13.760 than threatening with the total destruction of the earth it's threatening the total destruction
01:05:19.860 of the earth when you only have enough nukes to destroy five percent of the earth which is what
01:05:23.840 they're actually doing yeah which is yeah and and so there's some doubt and i think some serious
01:05:29.240 doubt whether or not they could actually do it but of course trump and many others thinking
01:05:33.780 we just don't want to risk that but to me i'm i'm coming at it again assuming this is true
01:05:40.260 what how how do you still side with israel like if you're drunk he's fucking jewish he's not
01:05:48.300 american he's fucking i'm asking rhetorically okay like even if you were somewhat philo-semitic
01:05:54.760 you're in the position where that must be tested because what's come across your desk is you must
01:06:01.760 attack this country otherwise israel is going to do a second genocide they've already got one
01:06:09.460 genocide going on in gaza right they're like the moral thing to do the moral thing to do for the
01:06:15.480 past 60 years would have been to just carpet bomb israel everybody knows this everybody who's
01:06:20.140 thinking fuck every nation on earth knows this already but they all have their balls in a vice
01:06:24.680 but like i mean even like should i sure shouldn't i attack iran no wait no no should i attack iran
01:06:33.160 to save ron and like call me rolling the dice brain call me what am i trying to describe here
01:06:41.880 slot machine i'm a slot machine brain i'm elvis playing a slot machine in my brain right what do
01:06:48.700 i know but it seems obvious to me that everyone just attacks israel right if you're in a position
01:06:55.400 where i'm like i have to attack iran to save iran from being nuked by israel and you know
01:07:02.180 everything that we know about they they can't have global capability to just destroy the world
01:07:07.520 or if they did we could stop that yeah let's say they launch all the nukes put a million stealth
01:07:14.160 fighters in the sky because you probably got them and just zap them just do some wild shit that you
01:07:21.280 no doubt can't just fucking destroy israel because if you are as much as a philo semi you are you're
01:07:27.740 like i need to stop the jews from doing a second genocide like they right they are the i don't
01:07:35.700 believe in the good guys and the bad guys i'm very neorealist when it comes to stuff we're talking
01:07:42.580 with that being said right we want to save the earth we want to save our all humanity and the
01:07:48.240 only solution is to destroy quote unquote the nazis the big bad guys it's israel yeah with
01:07:55.240 everything i just said the bad guy is israel yeah it's unquestionably but that's like what does i
01:08:02.920 know the answer to this but what does it take for you to snap out of it like they've been gotten so
01:08:07.960 much worse there's no plausible deniability and they're not impressive you know i mean i get that
01:08:14.520 you don't want to lose the holy sites maybe that's it nobody cares about that man i don't think
01:08:19.080 think anybody gives a fuck about that actually i think that's theater i think trump and a third
01:08:25.620 of the u.s cabinet the congress is literally they're it's not like they're americans who are
01:08:30.880 on the fence who are paid off they're just israeli assets it's as plain as that they should be hung
01:08:36.660 it's like there's not even it's like oh we could convince them to change no you're not going to
01:08:41.180 convince them like randy fine or who like these people they're israelis just there's so many
01:08:49.080 narratives that are deployed to the american people especially but all throughout the west
01:08:53.340 which is why you should hate iran and they spent so long trying to get you to hate russia
01:08:57.900 and there's still some residual cold war animosity i think people can understand why russia is their
01:09:06.300 enemy even if they're not technically but they get it right i don't think anyone gets iran
01:09:12.860 i don't think anyone knows why they're attacking iran the war the war in ukraine that's people can
01:09:18.860 talk to you for an hour about that yeah find me the average person that can explain to you
01:09:23.980 why we've sent why america has sent so many aircraft carriers and jets over to iran like
01:09:31.980 how is that in america's interest i actually don't get it i don't think you can explain that to them
01:09:37.620 it was even with a rock you had to say that it was about chemical weapons but i don't even hear
01:09:43.620 a lie being given for this it just seems that this is something israel wants so they're not
01:09:50.600 even bothering lying to you anymore unless i'm missing something maybe i haven't been just like
01:09:54.460 look guys we're done we're gonna nuke these guys you can j damn them if you want and then we won't
01:09:58.840 have to but either way they go so that's it there's going to be a war with iran you're strange
01:10:05.040 they kind of primed the pump for this with i this sounds familiar to something someone who
01:10:10.820 i've said at some point but they primed the pump with greenland and venezuela so trump
01:10:15.300 has made a reputation for himself as a guy that just invades places and it's cool and funny right
01:10:21.800 and so they look at iran it's like oh it's that's another kooky random thing trump has done
01:10:27.460 i think people just dismiss it as that like they don't they don't even demand a reason from him
01:10:33.400 anymore i mean i think the majority of people do but there's no connection between what people
01:10:38.360 actually want and what goes on like i don't want to be a fucking left winger about this shit
01:10:42.400 but even right wingers are not are are right wingers really on board with trump just starting
01:10:47.880 wars all over the fucking planet wasn't he the peace president wasn't that his whole fucking
01:10:52.060 campaign is that he wasn't going to start any new wars and all he's been doing is just fucking
01:10:56.740 missiling people it seems like war in iran was the one thing you're not supposed to do
01:11:05.400 it's the big one yeah yeah that would be like you run against hillary clinton and then
01:11:13.920 have her as your vice president after you're elected no exactly this is clinton's war this
01:11:19.700 is the military industrial complex i mean this is that little piece of copy pass has been floating
01:11:24.220 around for fucking 15 years like the list of countries and the big one at the end that
01:11:28.700 completes the you know the the seven point plan is iran everybody knows that so i mean and iran
01:11:36.400 again anybody you know fucking burgers don't know their geopolitics but iran is not afghanistan
01:11:42.740 iran is not iraq iran's you know economically in terms of resources and defense is bigger than
01:11:48.580 fucking turkey you can't you can't just bomb iran in one night and have them roll over this is going
01:11:55.000 to be a 10-year war that's going to change your personal quality of life for a fucking decade
01:12:01.220 man because iran there's a reason that they're always last because i think they're the only
01:12:05.820 really consequent i want to be correct on this but consequential regional hegemon or prospective
01:12:11.880 regional hegemon like iran was always the most difficult one it's not someplace you can walk
01:12:16.480 it's a bunch of fucking tribes in the mountains but they were the fulcrum of all of those other
01:12:21.520 nations they were financially supporting saddam and you know whoever else so like they were the
01:12:28.620 fulcrum of that axis and then you have to get rid of all their little satellites before you get rid
01:12:34.500 of them but why do we even care again it's because they're the enemies of israel look at what i'm
01:12:38.480 looking at right now you see this on screen i'm looking at the times of israel the two great
01:12:43.440 things i'm looking at right now one on the left here is a live story vance colon vance's colon oh
01:12:53.480 no oh shit oh shit but the u.s has seen evidence that iran is trying to rebuild its nuclear weapons
01:13:00.860 program give me a fucking break of course wouldn't you yeah we just what would america be doing
01:13:06.360 if iran had just nuked fucking quantico what would america be doing right now you fucking
01:13:13.280 retard what would america what would you be doing if canada had 80 nukes that was lying about it was
01:13:19.620 the only country on earth that said i'm i'm not against nuclear war you know what i mean and i'm
01:13:26.140 gonna blow up the fucking world even if they can't you would say we need to get a handle on
01:13:30.860 like you like you said i mean it's so obvious if anybody could just screw their head on correctly
01:13:34.660 the obvious enemy of the entire planet us iran russia uk all of us is just israel but
01:13:41.360 can i ask everyone something all these philo-semites if israel disappears tomorrow what
01:13:48.780 do you lose like if there's a lot of countries where bank access the law the bomb tomorrow
01:13:55.500 you lose a whole type of cheese pineapples you lose pineapples you you lose mangoes you lose
01:14:03.500 hula scooch i'm talking about hawaii it seems but you know i mean like you know what we'd lose
01:14:08.260 Pornhub. We'd lose
01:14:10.160 Pornhub? We would
01:14:11.180 lose Grindr?
01:14:15.220 Oh,
01:14:16.100 you know what? Actually, they are like an
01:14:18.120 industrial capital globally of
01:14:20.420 GMO
01:14:22.120 vegetables. GMO, that's, we'd
01:14:24.220 lose all those. We'd lose all the GMOs.
01:14:26.540 We would lose all of
01:14:28.300 the bad stuff.
01:14:30.860 Everything we don't like.
01:14:33.100 Everything that
01:14:34.200 socialists point to and
01:14:36.320 say this is the evil part of capitalism
01:14:38.220 most of it actually comes from israel if it were not started there it moved its headquarters there
01:14:44.200 right right not to say they invented everything i think but they they took it on and said oh you
01:14:50.360 if you're doing something sick and twisted if they glassed israel we wouldn't have any pedophiles
01:14:58.420 left because the majority of them have fled there they'd be gone yeah they'd be gone yeah
01:15:04.080 like i was even originally thinking it'd be a net neutral thing it's like no it sounds like
01:15:10.220 there's only benefits be a huge benefit i'm not even being sarcastic to all of humanity and look
01:15:15.900 i obviously it's been so long we can't separate this am i anti-semitic yes i am but take away
01:15:22.200 the anti-semitism and just be rational this is the fucking trolley problem okay i just i love
01:15:27.920 people and i want people to live happy safe lives nuke israel please all our children of every race
01:15:35.960 every color every creed around the world will sing kumbaya except the jews after the jews are gone
01:15:41.440 if it was full of brazilians i'd say the same thing but it never would be but it wouldn't be
01:15:46.460 because brazilians are all right yeah they would they're okay i would say they're all right they're
01:15:51.620 okay all right okay all right stretch that's a bit of a stretch they're uh okay but yeah so
01:15:59.840 you know it just sounds like we're hating on israel here but i am reading the news and times
01:16:05.140 of israel here's the main headline trump advisors said to prefer israel attack iran before u.s
01:16:11.200 strikes the politics are a lot better so trump's advisors they want israel they want israel to
01:16:17.160 attack iran first so you're hearing conflicting stories about it but they are probably his white
01:16:24.420 american advisors yeah they're normalizing an attack you see like between these two things
01:16:29.740 is it going to be america is it going to be israel but what they brought you on board with
01:16:34.400 is well an attack has to happen which is preferable so you've you've been given this
01:16:39.720 false dichotomy well i mean in some sense an attack is going to happen because it doesn't
01:16:45.760 matter whether the u.s does it israel is going to bomb them right so the only question is whether
01:16:51.860 the u.s does it at all or first or second so both of the sources tell politico that a joint u.s
01:16:59.880 israeli operation could be a possible course of action whether or not israel strikes first
01:17:05.020 with one saying that though the talks with iranians are serious those closest to trump
01:17:09.900 believe we're going to bomb them if we're talking about a regime change scale attack iran is very
01:17:16.580 likely to retaliate with everything they've got we have a lot of assets in the region and every
01:17:21.080 one of those is a potential target says one of the sources so again this is iran has a lot that
01:17:27.080 they can attack in the region a lot of american bases a lot of american interests and they're not
01:17:31.720 under the iron dome this source says so there's a high likelihood of american casualties and that
01:17:36.320 comes with a lot of political risk so the iron dome protects protects only israel it doesn't
01:17:41.720 protect all the american bases if anyone was wondering about all those american bases and
01:17:46.140 there to protect israel you might be saying well at least they're protected by israel who can no
01:17:52.820 it's it's literally only them it's just tel aviv and they're you're supposed to be part of that
01:17:58.200 iron dome all you american bodies yeah i just they're so bad with jews you win do you know that
01:18:06.080 i heard i heard some very serious people say somebody said that today i was trying to check
01:18:11.040 though because i thought he was like a white american guy was he a white oh no fuck he's i
01:18:16.060 forgot he's actually jewish that's so bizarre though why would a jew say that i was also
01:18:21.980 but let's get to the the root cause we're talking about which is nick land
01:18:27.920 right this is the this is what caused a discussion um nick land who we've covered on this show
01:18:33.140 before i'm thinking we're one of the few people that read fanged numina his first collection of
01:18:39.460 essays and we covered many of his articles and a lot of the early ccru stuff among other things
01:18:47.500 um and so i would hazard a guess that no one has covered the sheer volume of his writings
01:18:55.340 as and then us we've done the most unless you're some other philosophy channel there's philosophy
01:19:01.020 channels who've done that as well but uh there's different flavors of nick land there's his early
01:19:08.780 stuff where he was just writing really trippy leftist interpretations of emmanuel kant and
01:19:15.180 those can be very difficult for people to read then there's his schizo slam poetry stuff like
01:19:21.420 the meltdown essay where he's just saying weird that people think is interesting that's
01:19:28.220 fine i wasn't a fan but then there's his regular writing his articles that he publishes i believe
01:19:34.540 in compact and maybe not compact he has them elsewhere um and those are a lot more approachable
01:19:43.020 and then there's him on x on social media where he's a poster where he's just a funny racist guy
01:19:49.900 so it's with his posting on x that's an exception because despite being racist and despite being
01:19:56.940 very friendly to so many right-wing ideas he does it in in the clearest terms possible he has said
01:20:04.220 with jews you win and he had said i'm paraphrasing here he had said that uh you know any right-wing
01:20:11.200 movement that wants to succeed needs to align with based jews he used that terminology based jews
01:20:18.360 i think you should be suspicious of anyone that uses the word based still especially in our
01:20:25.760 circles if your mom does it that's fine that's who should be saying it these days but uh saying
01:20:32.440 that and i questioned him on this he said if you want if you want to succeed you got a land-based
01:20:38.140 jews that's just the way it is history has shown this he mentioned oliver cromwell at one point
01:20:43.900 which is interesting but we'll put that to the side and i'd said well i mean it seems that
01:20:50.700 the right wing has a history of aligning with base jews and that's brought us to this moment
01:20:57.060 do you like where that's brought us that that's the story of the neocons among many others like
01:21:02.660 but we keep doing it we keep aligning with the base jews and the same thing keeps happening that
01:21:08.060 they just serve their interests they don't serve ours what we think is an allyship is just it's
01:21:12.960 sort of a mutually beneficial agreement that only one side knows is mutually beneficial
01:21:18.120 the other side thinks oh we're just friends now you know but they have no interest in doing anything
01:21:23.300 for you um so i'm like yeah well we've been doing that do you do you feel like you're winning
01:21:31.100 and he's like no no well there's a this is nick land talking now he had responded he said well
01:21:36.600 there is a ray wing resurgence going on so um i think so i'm like whoa no hold on and i say this
01:21:42.780 now i'm trying to develop this point but if there is an ascendant whatever you call it right-wing
01:21:50.380 movement that's very vague but moving through that um it seems that i've seen more jews complaining
01:21:57.580 now that they're not involved i've seen two articles published in compact magazine alone
01:22:03.980 written by jews saying we don't forget about the jews don't forget about us we're important too
01:22:09.100 it turns out that the current right wing resurgence if you want to call it that
01:22:14.960 is highly anti-semitic very broadly anti-semitic and is not really looking for jewish input and
01:22:22.200 that's why they're writing so many articles that's why nick land famous insane drug addict
01:22:28.080 philosopher is writing posts like that saying don't forget about them you should invite them
01:22:33.260 and otherwise you don't go to win i feel like i'm winning right now by not having these
01:22:39.600 around what does adding them do and i say this now in light of what we were just talking about
01:22:47.460 illuminated by what we were just talking about look where that got america what what is adding
01:22:53.840 more jewish influence to this thing we're doing going to add i ask you anyway that's just my i
01:23:00.200 mean look as an outside observer it depends on what he's saying because if he he's a bit of a
01:23:05.580 boomer at this point you beast beast if he thinks of resurgent right is like maga trumpism then yeah
01:23:16.140 it's jewish as fuck right if he thinks that the resurgent right is feels control over the new
01:23:22.280 media then yeah it's jewish but i mean that isn't actually us none that was never us and internally
01:23:28.780 we've been fighting a larger war with them than we have with the left for the past two years
01:23:32.760 so i mean the the right as we view it as actual right-wingers that have been here the whole
01:23:39.180 fucking time we're we're somewhat resurgent we're definitely growing but the right that
01:23:44.400 is currently calling itself the right over you know over public broadcasts isn't us and it is
01:23:50.900 jewish yeah but it's like if you want to win do that or like they're winning but they're being
01:23:57.560 corrupted yeah they're just aligning with power yeah i envision a different sort of victory but
01:24:04.840 you and you give up all of your principles in order to do that so yeah and that's what everyone
01:24:09.080 does at some point they compromise and say well in the short term you can't do it wiser men have
01:24:16.620 tried yep more more prepared men have tried don't be greedy don't be greedy yeah don't be and it
01:24:25.020 should be so simple you know where this leads why do it you can't have it like they're going to
01:24:29.720 offer you the throne right you can't have the throne the only solution is the throne burns
01:24:33.060 but they're going to offer you the throne and then you're going to take jewish money and then
01:24:36.800 you end up becoming the new them eventually yeah i'd rather die not doing this than thrive and
01:24:43.520 selling out that sounds very gen x that sounds very leather jacket i understand
01:24:49.080 i'm not selling you man but really though like yeah a cursory reading of history tells you where
01:24:56.080 this leads and it's nowhere good so just don't do it i'll do something else i'll fix fire hydrants
01:25:02.880 i don't know if that if it's that or nothing i choose nothing i choose the void other than this
01:25:09.260 that sounds crazy i understand that why would i do that i don't know i'm here's the here's what
01:25:15.500 gotta understand about me i'm stupid and i'm insane but you know that cuts back to the crisis
01:25:20.880 with iran and israel though right like the correct american decision is to just shut your eyes and
01:25:25.580 stand back and let whatever's going to happen happen let israel nuke iran and then iran and
01:25:30.680 pakistan will nuke israel and maybe russia will get involved in america just stands back and it's
01:25:35.180 a horrible conflagration and it sets the whole planet back 100 years but you know what at the
01:25:38.760 end of the hundred years there's no more jews and we're fine yeah what happens is that during that
01:25:44.980 war russia gets involved of course iran gets hurt but israel is gone israel's gone if they don't
01:25:54.720 have the u.s israel is gone and it's not the u.s doing anything leave it to russia leave it to
01:26:01.780 iran leave it to the other regional actors and then it's over and then you can say well iran
01:26:08.080 becomes a regional hegemon i'm like well okay i'm more interested in that than what we got
01:26:12.960 dealing you can deal with iran you've dealt with china you've dealt with you know whoever like
01:26:17.660 none of these all of these parties are your enemy but it's possible to make peace with them it's not
01:26:23.360 only is it not possible to make peace with israel it's no it's not possible for there to be any
01:26:27.820 peace on earth so long as israel exists so i was gonna talk about the cartel war in mexico
01:26:37.560 but I think we're going to let that one simmer for a while.
01:26:41.280 There's nothing really to talk about right now, is there?
01:26:43.840 No, it's just memes at this point.
01:26:45.620 The operation to capture Mexico's most powerful cartel leader,
01:26:48.760 known as El Mencho, unfolded in a small town near Guadalajara,
01:26:51.860 where Mexican special forces acted on a tip
01:26:54.140 from an associate of one of his romantic partners.
01:26:56.640 In the raid that followed, the wanted drug lord was seriously wounded.
01:26:59.860 He later died during an airlift.
01:27:02.060 Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum says her country is returning to normal
01:27:05.940 after a swathe of cartel violence.
01:27:08.420 The capture and death of Mexico's most wanted cartel leader, El Mencho,
01:27:12.240 triggered roadblocks and arson and security clashes, mostly in the state of Jalisco.
01:27:17.880 Mexico's government says while most roads have been cleared of burning vehicles,
01:27:21.060 new roadblocks had appeared.
01:27:23.260 For the past six years, Mexico's official cartel strategy has been hugs, not bullets.
01:27:28.420 And it isn't working very well.
01:27:29.840 Cartel warfare is leaving a trail of more than 20,000 bodies every year,
01:27:33.820 many times hanging from bridges or tossed into mass graves tonight the question is will a new
01:27:38.640 president of mexico stop the carnage and i keep here i don't know what how much is true i keep
01:27:44.540 hearing wild things but that could be propaganda from the cartels too or the mexican government
01:27:48.940 who knows the one thing i'd like to say at this point i i just want to i was thinking about this
01:27:55.100 today actually that um this is an irregular war right it's not a it's not a peer versus peer it's
01:28:02.440 not a large power versus a small power it's a large power versus a fucking drug cartel so
01:28:07.800 people have been pointing out like oh there haven't been any casualty numbers released by
01:28:11.200 the cartels well i mean they're fucking cartels why would they release casualty numbers they're
01:28:15.440 not even like you're not dealing with a military they're as strong as a third world military but
01:28:21.020 they're not a military they're we talked about this when we uh discussed the structure and history
01:28:26.360 of mexican drug cartels and we'll just say this and leave it because we have something somewhat
01:28:31.340 similar to get to but i was saying that even including the sadist cartel the the biggest ones
01:28:38.660 they're structured more like franchises and so cartels exist yes what is a cartel a cartel is
01:28:45.960 just a conglomeration of separate entities within a very very loose framework for their own benefit
01:28:51.820 right you can have like the dairy cartel here in canada that's sort of majority term of the
01:28:57.120 cartel but it's just a loose affiliation operating as one block right so that's all it is it's and
01:29:03.420 you got someone that's kind of in charge but the way it's distributed it's even with the zetas they
01:29:09.180 say the zetas those are the military guys that's like seal team six started a cartel i'm like
01:29:13.700 yeah the top guys near the bottom through the midsection it's just a bunch of mexicans and
01:29:19.960 pickup trucks and then they you know sign on they audition to be let in but it's not like they're
01:29:25.280 trained militarily no there's still a bunch of just fucking corner boys with ak-47s it's built
01:29:30.860 on a cell structure so they literally can't i mean it's not possible to train people within cells
01:29:35.120 yeah and so in the same way that you would like train a stand a regular army so so cartels do
01:29:41.280 exist because they are coordinated but like when you see them just running well it's like the
01:29:45.820 bloods of the crypts the bloods of the crypts like there's kind of a guy at the top but the
01:29:51.040 rest of the time it's like a bunch of fucking niggers in a neighborhood wearing the same color
01:29:54.920 they don't have rules they don't have administration they don't not in the same way again that a
01:29:58.900 military would so you're going to look at them and be like oh let's hear the stats let's hear
01:30:02.700 from their spokesman there's no spokesman there's no statistics even their head guys don't really
01:30:07.720 know what's going on aside from looking at a map that's why you killed the guy in charge
01:30:12.380 and so it's reverted back to a bunch of mexicans with guns so you're hearing stories like they're
01:30:17.800 firing rockets at universities and they're kidnapping fucking you know gay men the only
01:30:26.200 reason i brought that i didn't mean to derail the only reason i even brought that up was
01:30:29.340 to look at it as probably in my lifetime probably the most recent example because i know we were
01:30:35.480 about to talk about the ira but the most recent example of something like the ira like i'm
01:30:39.280 obviously more sympathetic i'm very sympathetic to the ira not sympathetic to these motherfuckers
01:30:42.980 but the idea that you have a large power which is actually giving a state power a run for their
01:30:49.300 money but they're they are they're essentially a gorilla power right and they don't behave like
01:30:54.340 a large power you can't really negotiate with them you can't really just smack them down you
01:30:58.740 kill their leader it actually causes three times as much trouble as it should have because as you
01:31:03.780 said now they've broken into groups and the groups are no longer no longer have a leash so they're
01:31:08.100 even worse than they were last week yeah it's funny it is the mexican version of the ira or
01:31:14.540 the ira with mexican characteristics and we'll get into the history of ira in two seconds but
01:31:19.780 to them it's like you know the appeal is would you like to drink tequila and worship death
01:31:25.940 that makes sense to a mexican that is that is their revolutionary movement it's it's not
01:31:31.840 fucking marxism like like we said before it's spooky catholicism it's like mary yes but she's
01:31:39.280 a skeleton oh and she's got bandoliers and guns on her yeah yeah that speaks to them and it also
01:31:48.460 she's a decal on the side of your chevy yeah your your lift your lifted motorcycle
01:31:54.360 your fucking japanese crotch rocket that's seven feet off the ground somehow
01:32:00.420 real fucking like 1870s type vehicles
01:32:06.620 what it'd be funny it's like a motorcycle but it's like the original bicycle with the one
01:32:12.020 huge wheel that some mexicans are driving yeah i bet so uh with the time that we have i'd like to
01:32:20.560 discuss this book uh that builds off the last book that i read which was a bandit country
01:32:26.200 which is about the area of South Armagh in Ireland, which was a hotbed of IRA activity.
01:32:32.840 And in discussing that, we discussed kind of how they operate, some big figures in the IRA.
01:32:38.580 And Sinn Féin, which is their political arm, we started getting the idea of the structure of the IRA.
01:32:45.200 So you've got the Irish Republican Army, which is really an army,
01:32:48.720 but then you've got this political group that is associated with them.
01:32:53.920 they emerged around the same time
01:32:56.200 but they advocate for
01:32:58.180 the Irish independence movement
01:33:00.380 legitimately
01:33:01.200 and everyone knows they're connected
01:33:03.440 but what was their
01:33:06.480 founding relationship
01:33:08.360 like and so
01:33:09.940 for this book it's titled
01:33:12.220 Michael Collins and the Anglo-Irish
01:33:14.760 War and we're going
01:33:16.380 back to the turn of the 20th century
01:33:18.720 we're going back, spends a lot of time
01:33:20.480 around the 1920s
01:33:21.680 Whereas the book we just covered, Banned and Country, you get into the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and it really gets into the downfall of the IRA.
01:33:29.460 And the last book was about how, in my view, the IRA lost the mandate of the people.
01:33:35.520 And the argument I was making there was that things really started to fall apart once they started taking the war to England.
01:33:43.640 So in Ireland, it was a defensive war.
01:33:45.860 They had the mandate of the people trying to get the English out.
01:33:49.900 But then they started going, blowing up banks in England, blowing up the docks, and then they started hitting civilian casualties, which is one of the big stories that really sank them, especially the real IRA.
01:34:03.880 And that's what really a lot of people turned against them.
01:34:06.520 And if you look at the IRA now, if you look at Sinn Féin right now, a lot of people have pointed this out, that they are basically a Marxist organization or a leftist organization.
01:34:16.140 I don't know if you've heard too much about them but I was I was really surprised to find out that
01:34:23.540 Sinn Féin had kind of always been a Marxist organization it wasn't that they turned later
01:34:28.680 on or got corrupted in the more recent historical period but Irish Republicans and a party of the
01:34:36.580 left our policy is rooted in our values of equality anti-racism and human rights and stands
01:34:45.140 firmly with working-class communities that have been neglected and forgotten for generations.
01:34:51.980 The DUP motion today is an attempt to undermine any and all abortion provision in the North.
01:34:57.580 We in Sinn Féin oppose the DUP's attack on women's reproductive rights,
01:35:01.280 and we oppose the DUP's attempt to undermine our right to modern health care.
01:35:05.280 The amendment that we have put forward would see a refining of the law
01:35:08.280 to offer abortion services in the North mirrored with the services that we already have in the 26 counties.
01:35:13.460 Sinn Féin is not just a parliamentary party we are a political movement and we decide policy as a
01:35:18.980 collective with membership having a say on every single decision this is democracy and it's one of
01:35:24.580 the things that first inspired me when I joined Sinn Féin. Are they Marxist Marxist or just socialist?
01:35:31.460 I would say Marxist because here's the thing when we say socialist now our understanding of
01:35:37.940 socialism is sort of you know late 20th century early 21st century which is everything's kind of
01:35:42.900 socialist or we see it as a european socialism but if you're saying socialist back then you're
01:35:48.900 pretty much a marxist and if you were a socialist back then you were quoting a lot of marx as well
01:35:54.420 even though marx kind of didn't like socialists but i think it was more radical socialism back
01:35:59.860 then whereas now it's just the status quo okay pretty much every country's socialist to one
01:36:06.580 degree or another it's just different you know extreme variations of what they look like you
01:36:12.340 You know what I mean?
01:36:13.600 Especially like Scandinavians.
01:36:15.360 They're socialists, but you don't hear them talk so much about workers' revolutionary rights and stuff,
01:36:21.580 which is what socialists back then would do.
01:36:23.940 But I know that we'll get to the founder of Sinn Féin or one of the main leaders.
01:36:29.880 The conflict was, and this is what we discussed last time,
01:36:34.600 whether this Irish independence movement should just be localized to Ireland
01:36:38.980 or if it should be part of this international struggle.
01:36:43.800 And this is going to build into the next couple of episodes
01:36:45.720 where we discuss the FLQ.
01:36:47.800 The FLQ, which was the independence movement in Quebec.
01:36:51.640 Where do they differ? Where do they overlap?
01:36:53.920 And the FLQ was maybe not its inception,
01:36:57.620 but very shortly after it became explicitly Marxist.
01:37:02.000 And almost everything they talked about
01:37:03.760 was the proletarian struggle, anti-capitalism,
01:37:06.520 and joining seeing the fights in africa and seeing their african workers as more of their
01:37:15.100 brothers and even their own religious kinfolk that was like right in the dna of the flq
01:37:20.440 and i was kind of surprised to see that but anyway here i think you saw at least
01:37:26.060 maybe more muted terms but shin fein was always more ideological and always more open to
01:37:32.960 international
01:37:34.200 coordination, you know, whereas
01:37:37.280 the Irish Republican Army just wanted to blow up
01:37:39.340 the English. You know, they're
01:37:41.300 very singularly focused
01:37:43.340 on that. And
01:37:44.980 there are some claims made in our community
01:37:47.340 that I'm not
01:37:49.520 British.
01:37:51.400 We haven't lived
01:37:53.160 in that era. So
01:37:55.280 we had a great friend of the show
01:37:57.260 named Barry Lyndon. He
01:37:59.240 was making the assertion that
01:38:00.940 the IRA
01:38:02.580 maybe not for their entirety
01:38:05.580 but he was saying that they were an op
01:38:07.460 like they were some kind of
01:38:09.500 they were created by the government
01:38:10.680 as a way to train their
01:38:13.240 soldiers in a new type
01:38:15.520 of guerrilla warfare
01:38:16.460 I don't think I believe that
01:38:19.520 but I wonder
01:38:21.380 how popular that sentiment is
01:38:23.160 with the people that would have lived through it
01:38:25.660 because we're looking
01:38:27.440 at this as outsiders but for people of a certain age
01:38:29.600 maybe you grew up during the
01:38:31.520 Troubles
01:38:31.980 and this was real you were taught to hate the irish and so you react against that like who's
01:38:37.380 making me hate the irish is this whole thing just made up so anyway um i guess where do you stand
01:38:45.300 on that do you think this was real do you think there was any sort of i don't i mean look i don't
01:38:50.000 know that much about it it seems to be broad enough and complex enough that a large amount of
01:38:55.200 it must have been grassroots and authentic but at the same time if you ask you know quibono
01:39:02.720 um did did the english government benefit to some extent by having this crisis yeah they did
01:39:09.840 so i wouldn't be surprised like for example you have all kinds of cases in american history
01:39:15.420 of the american state fighting the cia right so i wouldn't be surprised if there was some
01:39:22.420 version of that where the the authentic american state genuinely honestly fighting the cia not
01:39:29.300 realizing they're fighting the cia if there was something like that was going on i don't know but
01:39:34.600 it wouldn't surprise me what i love most about this book was how it opened which is going through
01:39:40.300 the history of antagonism between ireland and england and this is what made me think
01:39:45.680 it wasn't an op because there's so much foundation there that I don't think you have in Quebec and
01:39:53.380 you don't have in Canada and we kind of got this to the last episode by saying that the IRA had
01:40:00.280 the mandate of the people how do you get that how do you get the people on your side there's so many
01:40:05.020 people in Ireland that love the IRA or at least understood them or celebrated them that changed
01:40:10.200 of course but was it a propaganda campaign not really it was just primed for that they just had
01:40:17.560 a long history of hating this this occupation from england and i think you need centuries of that
01:40:27.160 like the irish independence movement has its roots go far far back in time and i i think you
01:40:34.200 do need many generations just exposed to that intellectual literary movement like you do need
01:40:41.380 a cultural foundation for this before the people can really move in unison or at least accept it
01:40:47.540 like that like you can't just show up one day as a radical in to a population that's not ready for
01:40:53.740 that like they will spew you out they want nothing to do with that they're not ready for it so he
01:40:59.760 says here, Ireland at the dawn of the 20th century was approaching 100 years of official
01:41:05.100 political affiliation with Great Britain under the terms of the Act of Union in 1801.
01:41:10.080 The Act created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, established a unified
01:41:14.800 parliamentary system, cemented political, economic, and religious ties between the two,
01:41:19.620 and thereby ensured complete English legal, political, economic, and religious domination
01:41:25.040 of ireland prior to the act of union ireland had been governed for 500 years by an independent
01:41:31.260 irish parliament that nonetheless met at the command of an english king before the irish
01:41:37.060 parliament norman kings had dominated ireland for nearly two centuries prior to that north
01:41:41.800 vikings had twice invaded the island which we covered many many episodes ago in the history
01:41:47.820 of the vikings um he continues on the repression of the native irish and old english catholics
01:41:54.400 was intensified during the subsequent English Civil War, an insurrection by Ulster Catholic
01:41:59.620 landowners in 1641, which aimed to restore their former baron status. From 1641 to 1649,
01:42:07.020 some 2,000 Protestant colonists were murdered, while tens of thousands were stripped of their
01:42:12.800 possessions and driven from their settlements. While not quite the pogrom portrayed in exaggerated
01:42:17.980 reports in London, it was brutal and almost every Catholic landowner in Ireland had participated
01:42:23.240 to one degree or another so it's a we're talking long history of pogrom civil wars of a real
01:42:31.680 animosity not only between states but between religions because it's the protestants versus
01:42:39.080 the catholics and then it's the ethnic irish versus the ethnic english and on top of that
01:42:43.920 there's the state domination aspect to it but you start to see how all of this was necessary
01:42:50.900 to get something like the ira at that scale and have that many people involved and have that many
01:42:58.140 people tolerate the ira operating there because remember we talked last time they had sniper
01:43:03.460 warning signs set up like road signs like people in ireland were not you know used to bombings
01:43:10.920 but they're kind of used to bombings right or they weren't treating it with like the hatred that you
01:43:17.260 would get here in canada like the people as i said aren't ready for something like that
01:43:21.500 um he says to leading english politicians of the 18th and 19th centuries ireland was an
01:43:29.400 indispensable part of the empire because it formed a natural defensive barrier to the atlantic
01:43:34.680 approach to england beyond that however ireland was an economic jewel in the royal crown and it
01:43:41.060 assumed greater luster with the arrival of the industrial revolution and the expansion of the
01:43:46.180 empire it afforded shipyards and culling stations all kinds of shit uh ulster textile mills and all
01:43:53.360 sorts of other things for the empire now continues on the conspiracy of the united irishman party
01:44:02.380 during the 1790s illustrates how effective britain's system of informers was and this is a big
01:44:09.100 part of the story we're going to tell which is a war between separate intelligence apparatuses and
01:44:15.500 Britain was always very effective, highly effective, of having informers and rats and spies all throughout Ireland.
01:44:25.060 Inspired by the French Revolution, Ulsterman Theobald Wolftone was convinced that the United Non-sectarian Separatist movement could succeed in overthrowing the English rule,
01:44:35.820 and he led a conspiracy of nationalists drawn from all economic classes and religious creeds.
01:44:42.200 British informers penetrated all levels of Irish society, and these spies promptly alerted authorities to every subsequent conspiracy.
01:44:50.680 Building on the animosity, we must discuss the Great Famine.
01:44:55.020 As J.C. Beckett notes, the Great Famine is the watershed event in modern Irish history.
01:45:01.200 Although as early as 1845, the Peel government recognized the potato blight as a looming major catastrophe and made a sincere attempt to meet the crisis,
01:45:10.660 Local relief administrators botched the effort.
01:45:14.120 The expenditure of famine relief funds from the executor was delayed by indignant opposition party members who believed the new economic principle of laissez-faire and who expected the Anglo-Irish gentry to solve the problem themselves.
01:45:28.620 Millions of peasants starved to death and millions more were displaced from their cottages and compelled to emigrate.
01:45:34.660 during this debacle imported american grain rotted in the holds of ships anchored in english
01:45:40.620 ports awaiting customs clearance as required by english protectionist grain tariffs so
01:45:46.200 when you're talking irish independence you have the great famine blamed on england sitting high
01:45:54.620 as you know how many millions of people innocent people peasants died because of england that's the
01:46:01.060 sort of thing you need to inform this sort of movement i think that's like a visceral memory
01:46:07.000 it's a haunting memory whereas so many revolutions in my view especially the failed ones are all
01:46:15.260 ideological and that's why i think the leftist ones fail it's because you have to teach people
01:46:21.020 these new terms you need to kind of get them feel to feel solidarity with a foreigner who doesn't
01:46:26.580 even speak your language but say you're brothers in the fight against this thing called capitalism
01:46:32.280 compare that to here is you hate the british because they let millions of peasants starve
01:46:36.860 you're never that doesn't require propaganda and then sorry after the famine the scattered
01:46:45.200 survivors of 1848 regrouped to form the fenian or irish republican brotherhood in new york in 1858
01:46:52.540 The Fenians plotted to liberate Ireland by force and attempted to foster revolt in Irishman-British Army regiments in 1866.
01:47:00.660 They launched additional plots the following year, including an abortive rising in Ireland and an ill-advised, somewhat comical invasion of English Canada launched from upstate New York.
01:47:13.520 Fenian revolutionary activities continued with funding and moral support from New York, Boston, and Chicago.
01:47:18.240 So this is all to say that leading up to the IRA, there were precursors to the IRA.
01:47:24.980 There were a lot of different revolutionary movements.
01:47:27.340 There was a lot of different, you know, formations that were effectively trying to do the exact same thing.
01:47:32.900 And it was just rebranding with different people as it became more advanced.
01:47:37.840 continues on here
01:47:40.560 it's impossible to recount
01:47:42.440 the events of the Anglo-Irish War
01:47:44.620 without examining the background
01:47:46.320 education, motivation, and character
01:47:48.660 of the man who did the most
01:47:50.780 to bring it on, and that's what this book is
01:47:52.600 mostly about, Michael Collins
01:47:55.140 had been called the
01:47:56.540 first urban terrorist
01:47:58.020 and he was the architect of modern guerrilla
01:48:00.520 warfare, the successful
01:48:02.340 revolutionary must be absolutely ruthless
01:48:04.660 in the pursuit and elimination
01:48:06.340 of enemies. That's his main belief. Collins masterminded a multitude of attacks on law
01:48:12.200 enforcement agencies and orchestrated the assassination of several key intelligence
01:48:16.500 operatives for Britain in Ireland, a significant event in November 1920. Despite the presence of
01:48:22.760 conventional British military units on Irish soil during that era, the British administration
01:48:27.360 predominantly relied upon the Royal Irish Constabulary, RIC, and the Dublin Metropolitan
01:48:32.780 police collins stands out amongst his peers for never wavering when events call for such
01:48:39.720 ruthlessness as chief of the irish republican brotherhood adjudant general to the irish
01:48:46.140 republican army minister of finance and director of intelligence for the revolutionary irish
01:48:50.940 parliament collins had all the power at his fingertips to launch an intelligence-driven
01:48:56.440 guerrilla war that would tax the resources of the british government to its limit and so
01:49:02.520 i thought that was interesting as this guy i don't know if he was the
01:49:07.300 main architect of guerrilla warfare but he certainly must be one of them and not only that
01:49:13.640 but urban warfare also rural warfare but remember last episode we were talking about how they were
01:49:19.540 doing things like inventing a new type of mortar yeah figuring out new like new ways to do snipe
01:49:26.460 new ways to attack convoys that hadn't been thought of before and so they weren't when you
01:49:33.200 think of these other revolutions the revolutions in name only and it might have sounded like i was
01:49:38.720 too eager to defend the ira last time but i was just trying to point to their effectiveness
01:49:43.440 the effectiveness what they're trying to do and what were they trying to do well they weren't
01:49:48.320 trying to stir some ill-defined labor-based revolutionary fervor in the mass people
01:49:55.980 they're actually just trying to recruit a few good men to do a few bad things and that's that's all
01:50:03.080 they need to do so rather than educate people into the mass politics of dialectical materialism
01:50:12.200 it was just how can we invent a new type of war that they don't know about yet they haven't
01:50:17.860 prepared for yet and that's just why i thought that was a different question entirely so it's
01:50:24.600 not even it's not a mass movement and really maybe that's what shin fain was going for but
01:50:29.220 we'll get to that conflict in a second right now and uh he says well irish political leader
01:50:36.240 iman de valero was first conceived the strategy of ostracizing local british officials it was
01:50:42.520 collins who upped the ante by putting the conflict in motion with direct attacks against the
01:50:48.100 government police and intelligence network thereby neutralizing britain's system of informers because
01:50:53.160 remember this entire time Ireland was still lousy with informers so Michael Collins you know along
01:51:00.920 with all of his other accomplishments he was really known for creating his own intelligence
01:51:07.380 network and almost like never getting caught for the longest time and so they'd never encountered
01:51:13.560 that before he says working as many as 20 hours a day he might be found speaking at a Sinn Féin
01:51:19.920 rally, training a flying column, meeting with clandestine agents, laundering the secret movement's
01:51:26.000 funds in order to hide them, or organising a jailbreak or gun running scheme. During this period,
01:51:32.940 he canvases during pivotal by-elections and is also elected onto the Executive Committee of
01:51:39.020 Sinn Féin. In the general election of December 1918, Michael is elected to Parliament as a
01:51:45.400 representative for the constituency of Cork South. Now the stated aim of Sinn Féin at this time
01:51:50.980 was that if elected in this general election they wouldn't take their seats in Westminster
01:51:56.220 but instead would establish their own parliament in Dublin, Dáil Éireann. On the 21st of January
01:52:02.840 then 1919 Dáil Éireann meets for the first time in the Mansion House in Dublin and Michael
01:52:08.520 Collins is made Minister for Home Affairs. Although he remains a national hero to every
01:52:14.240 irish school child he is too often remembered for masterminding bold prison breakouts daring
01:52:20.780 raids on police stations and often hair-raising escapades this guy sounds awesome now i know the
01:52:27.120 book is probably very uh it paints a very rosy picture of him but i mean that sounds like all
01:52:34.080 all literally all the things that every guy wants to do what am i'm running around i train guys to
01:52:40.300 fight i'm doing breakouts i'm riding my bike around town drunk i'm i'm i'm going i'm walking
01:52:47.340 into a lady's dormitory and everyone's throwing their fucking panties at me sure they're irish
01:52:52.760 panties but you know it is he's used to that he's used to ir like he loves irish butt
01:53:00.400 maybe that's not what we like too much here in canada he loves that he's getting exactly what
01:53:06.800 wants he's getting exactly what he needs so so talks about the irb we talk about that sort of
01:53:14.640 the irish republican brotherhood so by 1900 most irb operatives have been jailed hanged or deported
01:53:20.820 and fenianism was virtually non-existent in ireland at the turn of the century only the
01:53:26.820 united states where the irb was known as clan negale was the aging leadership still actively
01:53:32.680 raising money recruiting members implying we're both and this is a common theme of the ira or
01:53:38.920 any one of these individuals going to america and trying to solicit funds from the irish diaspora
01:53:45.880 a tightly compartmentalized organization the reconstituted irb was headed by a supreme council
01:53:51.800 and set policy each circle was led by a center only the centers knew all the members of the
01:53:57.640 circle and the identity of their fellow centers thus the revitalized irb with its near paranoid
01:54:04.200 emphasis on secrecy sobriety and counterintelligence formed a natural foundation for
01:54:10.820 collins's future ira intelligence service sobriety now he might be saying sobriety politically you
01:54:18.360 know like sober minded you can't have an irish revolutionary group that's focused on sobriety
01:54:25.920 I do wonder though
01:54:27.320 but it would be revolutionary for the Irish
01:54:29.220 it would be revolutionary to do
01:54:31.640 a single thing sober
01:54:33.320 that's not just politically revolutionary
01:54:38.020 existentially
01:54:39.180 have you ever decided to vote on up is down
01:54:45.700 what do you mean I've never heard of that before
01:54:47.880 like the mythical phoenix
01:54:55.400 The IRB rose from the ashes of Easter week to become the vanguard and driving force of a renewed physical struggle as the volunteers reorganized during 1917.
01:55:04.960 With recently released Irish parolees now making their way back to Ireland, British authorities had made a critical mistake in assuming that the IRB was a broken organization and in releasing such desperate physical force separatists such as Cathal Brugia, Thomas Ashe and a bunch of others.
01:55:23.400 And Iman de Valera, who becomes important in a second, they also miscalculated in their release of one particularly clever officer named Collins, who would turn the tables on them, making them the prey and not the hunters.
01:55:38.000 Sinn Féin, meanwhile, would coalesce into a revolutionary political party under the leadership of Iman de Valera to provide a new nationalist political infrastructure.
01:55:48.820 so these two things are developing at the same time the party would serve the goals of the
01:55:52.900 revolution by promoting dissent dissent passive resistance strikes demonstrations and a general
01:55:59.860 rejection of the british legal and tax systems so that's why i always wanted to highlight when
01:56:07.460 discussing this was that they'll talk about the ira they just think of the paramilitary
01:56:11.860 organization but none of this works without the regular political organization and i think you
01:56:17.940 you need at least those two i think you also need uh academic backing which they already had
01:56:25.480 they had an intellectual movement the irish nationalist or independent intellectual movement
01:56:30.820 has as i said deep deep roots but if you don't have those three things i don't think you have
01:56:37.360 a movement would you agree with that um yeah yeah that's fair yeah like you need people think you
01:56:46.920 need to have just one of them or maybe even a couple of them but i think you do need the political
01:56:52.760 party attacking the politics and then you need this other thing conducting something in the real
01:56:58.180 world something outside of politics it's like it's like maneuvering on the battlefield like you can
01:57:03.400 have uh is video game brain but like you have infantry and you have archers and you have cavalry
01:57:09.440 you need all three and they all fill roles and if you don't have one of the three you're going to
01:57:13.720 get routed like you're going to get flanked right so yeah yeah and uh you know if if it is
01:57:21.200 an existential struggle you would imagine just as an example let's take america um if there were
01:57:29.420 heritage americans who wanted to push back against the the forces that are oppressing them
01:57:36.280 you would need the political attack sure but you also need street level shit like you need
01:57:42.620 if it is true that there's
01:57:44.380 foreigner gangs that are
01:57:46.500 like look at the grooming gangs in the UK
01:57:48.860 probably a better example
01:57:50.240 like you could have your
01:57:52.220 reform Britain
01:57:53.640 right that's hey everyone's excited
01:57:56.660 about that new party
01:57:58.780 in town what you also need
01:58:00.520 is you need 10,000
01:58:02.700 white British guys going
01:58:04.760 into houses and
01:58:06.780 pulling out the members of these grooming
01:58:08.740 gangs because you know where they are and you're
01:58:10.820 upset that the cops aren't going after them well you need to go after them you need a bunch of
01:58:15.320 guys doing it and i'm not going to tell you how to do that that's risky but how long has it been
01:58:22.040 i just read a story the other day that they're deleting all the wreckers of the grooming gangs
01:58:26.940 did you see this are they they're just deleting them because they're like it's been too long we
01:58:32.440 don't need them because it's i mean because it didn't low just come out with a huge report
01:58:38.120 proving that the police were involved in it from top to bottom well the those police are deleting
01:58:43.080 the police how how convenient that the police are now deleting their records yeah just absolutely
01:58:48.120 i'm like so like it is up to you like they're not going to go after these people who are raping your
01:58:53.000 kids so you need the political apparatus to do that but then you need street level people do
01:58:59.160 the street level whatever form that takes you need both operating maybe not completely hand
01:59:04.840 and glove but you need them operating at the same time um and he goes on here he says collins was
01:59:11.160 firm in his determination that the new volunteers understand the concept of guerrilla warfare
01:59:16.120 stage unconventional hit and run attacks to inflict as many casualties as possible then
01:59:20.760 disappear in the countryside thus keeping the enemy off guard and demoralized and every volunteer
01:59:26.360 accepted the strategy some believe that ambushes were cowardly even immoral some like the 1916
01:59:32.840 heroes iman de la valera and canal bruja would ascend to senior political rank in the revolutionary
01:59:38.200 government and their disagreeing with collins unconventional strategy would lead to bitter
01:59:42.680 confrontations in years to come and and that's really the central story here which is shin
01:59:47.960 fein run by de valera he doesn't get along with collins they did valera he wants more international
01:59:55.320 support he was more of a marxist he was more ideological and collins was just like um
02:00:02.840 old slab murphy just like i i'm here to kill the english like that's it that's what i exist for
02:00:10.160 and then later on and we might not be able to get to this part before we have to go but
02:00:15.020 de valera basically betrays michael collins who is already very unpopular because he and de valera
02:00:23.560 and a couple others were responsible for signing a peace treaty with
02:00:27.560 gray britain which upset a lot of people but it was this really fucked up scenario where
02:00:34.760 devil era was agitating for the entire time like he really wanted to sign this truce this peace deal
02:00:42.060 and he was convincing everyone to do it but then publicly he was denouncing it and saying
02:00:46.460 what the fuck is up with these guys signing it it's like real snake behavior um
02:00:52.280 and whenever i hear dave valera i just assume hispanic guy you know what i mean
02:00:59.180 so which makes it more loathsome like there's this fucking spanish guy just fucking slithering
02:01:06.960 around with this thin mustache i know that's not him but that is why my mind conjures he's got his
02:01:13.280 shirt open you know he's got a ruffled shirt that's open but what do we call those pants
02:01:20.700 they were like bell-bottom parachute pants what the fuck is i don't know what is they were um
02:01:26.380 says as an increasingly powerful member of the irb supreme council collins had the organization's
02:01:32.540 network of cooperative contacts and informers at his fingertips this was the network they'd
02:01:37.660 built to counter the britain's intelligence network he said he could count on shopkeepers
02:01:43.020 locomotive engineers brewers dairymen seamen streetcar conductors farmers fishermen hotel
02:01:49.180 clerks and maids to report
02:01:51.260 to him. Even the Fianna,
02:01:53.240 the Irish Boy Scouts, served as
02:01:55.040 IRB couriers.
02:01:57.740 Collins spent the balance of
02:01:58.840 1917 developing this network and crafting
02:02:01.240 an improved intelligence gathering
02:02:03.200 organization. With the expansion
02:02:05.040 of his staff organization, Collins increased
02:02:07.180 the number of safe houses, hotels
02:02:09.300 and pubs available for
02:02:11.080 organizational work in metropolitan
02:02:12.940 Dublin and elsewhere. He referred to these
02:02:15.180 venues collectively as his joints
02:02:17.240 and each was numbered.
02:02:19.180 so just to give you a sense and everyone else's sense of what an intelligence network looks like
02:02:24.420 it's it's not spies it's just get getting everyone enthusiastically on your payroll like
02:02:30.660 not threatening them because you'll get that with street gangs they just use the threat of force to
02:02:35.780 get people and to inform them i don't think he had to do that but then also owning a lot of real
02:02:41.080 estate i think that's a that owning real estate in towns and cities and treating them as like places
02:02:48.160 that your people can go
02:02:50.140 if they ever need to go. I think that part's missing
02:02:52.260 from a lot of these sorts
02:02:54.180 of movements.
02:02:55.880 This is so funny. It describes
02:02:57.820 Collins a little bit here.
02:03:00.180 Dressed in a neat pinstripe
02:03:02.100 suit, which even at the time
02:03:04.280 I have to think was
02:03:06.200 an asshole thing to do.
02:03:08.120 You know what I mean?
02:03:10.160 Like even in the 1917.
02:03:13.060 Dressed in a neat pinstripe
02:03:14.240 suit, Collins roamed daily
02:03:16.200 through Dublin on a bicycle
02:03:17.700 masquerading as a respectable businessman and again putting myself in that era i have to assume
02:03:24.820 if you're in a pinstripe suit riding a bicycle around you're not seen as a businessman no
02:03:29.560 businessman would do that yeah he would be operating his business he employed aliases and
02:03:36.120 used a pseudonym for written communications um following the establishment of the revolutionary
02:03:42.240 cabinet under de valera in 1919 collins eventually maintained three separate offices each for the
02:03:49.100 different roles he had minister of finance etc he used pubs hotel rooms and safe houses to conduct
02:03:55.200 most of his business and never visited any of the actual intelligence offices so that was like he
02:04:01.700 was an enigma for the longest time they could never get a read on this guy didn't know who he
02:04:06.680 was and he prided himself uh on this and a couple of anecdotes he shared that he would be in pubs
02:04:13.500 with constables and police officers who are looking for him but they didn't know it was him
02:04:18.900 and so he's like fucking with them and saying like yeah this guy sucks but man i bet i bet he's really
02:04:24.800 cool though you know i hate him but man he seems real smart you know shit like that that's my best
02:04:30.480 irish accent right now but like he loved like just like they had no idea what he looked like
02:04:37.080 i assume they thought well we were looking for a hyper irish looking guy you know but we're in
02:04:43.660 ireland there's hyper irish looking guys everywhere um in all revolutions there's invariably some
02:04:52.740 event or a series of events that serves as a catalyst to move people from ideas into action
02:04:58.260 In America, it was an enactment of an unpopular colonial tax policy.
02:05:02.280 In France, the simple scarcity of bread led to the storming of the Bastille.
02:05:06.880 In Ireland, a chain of events that was so dramatic and no less profound.
02:05:11.060 They were Lloyd George's proposal in the spring of 1918 to introduce military conscription into Ireland,
02:05:18.120 followed shortly thereafter by a misguided and alarmist British intelligence assessment
02:05:22.880 known as the German Plot that led to direct government suppression of Sinn Féin.
02:05:28.260 so they were shin fein was really getting popularity due to the government trying to
02:05:34.980 oppress them and that worked for the people because again the people were already hypersensitive
02:05:40.160 to british overreach in in the area so they people liked these people but the roundup of
02:05:48.640 the shin fein leadership in 1918 backfired most nationalists recognized the german plot for what
02:05:54.280 it was this event coupled with widespread disillusionment over delays in home rule eroded
02:05:59.740 the public faith in the british administration even among moderates shin fein was the rallying
02:06:05.520 standard for anti-brish sentiment across the country it organized demonstrations established
02:06:11.420 banks courts and other institutions of civil administration in effect setting up a shadow
02:06:17.300 government in many counties throughout ireland but you hear about these these plots you hear
02:06:23.840 about these schemes like it it's wild to imagine that hearing it described like that yeah they
02:06:29.560 just set up a shadow government and now we're thinking like how the fuck would you do that
02:06:34.220 you know you could do it easier easier back then i don't know like how easy is it
02:06:38.480 to set up a bank in 1918 a bit pretty complicated right but we probably less complicated than now
02:06:46.100 it's gotta be it's gotta be i'm not saying it's easy i'm just saying it's probably was
02:06:50.620 less complicated 100 also what do they mean by bank is it just a place to store your money because
02:06:55.000 that's my point like you could just like hey look we got this warehouse anybody want to bring their
02:06:59.520 money here i want a fucking vault like as a guy with a vault but like your money is still coins
02:07:05.820 too like yeah so they have a ledger a paper ledger and paper ledger and a big metal box whereas our
02:07:12.480 understanding of banks is like well you need to be constantly investing what and also have no money
02:07:19.160 you have to learn a new language before you even begin you need to learn you need to find enough
02:07:24.280 jews to staff the corner office as well you need 20 jewish friends and you gotta learn guyanese
02:07:32.120 it's up i don't make rules
02:07:36.200 so yeah so they have an entire child government just in towns which is cool as hell the populace
02:07:41.400 increasingly refuse to recognize the administrative and legal authority of the crown
02:07:45.960 and turn to champagne to set her settle legal matters which is an interesting approach i don't
02:07:50.840 know how much of that you could do now i know you know my thing was i'm reading all this
02:07:58.120 and i'm thinking not that i'm playing this but how could you do this in america in canada in
02:08:04.120 britain even in ireland right now right could you do this again in ireland with these with the same
02:08:10.120 irish people i i don't think so and i've heard you know there's irish nationalists of course
02:08:15.720 maybe they agree maybe they disagree but i i think when you look at shit family look at all these
02:08:22.600 these nationalist organizations that just became straight up leftist you have to be like well this
02:08:26.840 this isn't the same thing anymore like you actually can't have like the corruption and downfall of
02:08:32.760 shitbane is is disheartening right like they are they're the ones that are supposed to
02:08:38.840 be the tip of the spear and then it's they're also the biggest advocates of mass migration as far as
02:08:43.880 as I've been told.
02:08:45.440 So like there's nothing.
02:08:47.060 Yeah, yeah.
02:08:49.380 And so Xi and Fein,
02:08:51.560 of course,
02:08:52.180 they rise to prominence.
02:08:53.880 De Valera abhorred
02:08:54.860 the idea of assassination
02:08:55.820 and did not consent
02:08:56.980 to Collins' proposal
02:08:58.100 to attack the G-Men.
02:09:00.300 Failing that,
02:09:00.980 Collins undertook
02:09:01.640 an alternative campaign
02:09:02.680 of intimidation.
02:09:04.300 Just two days after visiting
02:09:05.600 the G-Division file room,
02:09:07.020 he issued a letter of warning
02:09:08.500 in the name of the IRA
02:09:09.500 to every detective.
02:09:11.460 This was the division
02:09:12.420 that was tasked
02:09:13.140 with shutting them down. The letters admonished them to cease investigations
02:09:17.360 and harassment of Sinn Féin and Republican sympathizers under penalty
02:09:21.320 of death. This was merely the first of several written warnings that Collins would
02:09:25.240 send over the next two months. The volunteers were now attacking police in the
02:09:29.300 countryside, but de Valera sought to restrain and feared
02:09:33.400 violence would destroy the legitimacy of their
02:09:37.420 government and possible diplomatic initiatives with the Americans. So this
02:09:41.300 entire town de valera running shin fein he's trying to make friends with america he lives
02:09:46.280 in america for many years which basically gave all leadership to collins even though he would
02:09:51.840 never like to admit that but yeah this guy the entire time shin fein doesn't like with iris
02:09:58.720 they disagree with the violence they disagree with assassinations and then they're thinking
02:10:02.700 you know we can get what we want just political needs which of course is not the case at all um
02:10:08.580 anyway so i know we gotta get going since we we probably don't have time to get to
02:10:13.760 too much more but that was more really what i wanted to encapsulate what is the history
02:10:19.760 of anglo-irish conflict what were the early days the ira what were what were the other
02:10:25.940 precursor groups to the ira how far does this reach back and i i really think that the conflict
02:10:33.340 between Sinn Féin and IRA
02:10:34.840 was pretty
02:10:37.360 pronounced through the entire time
02:10:39.120 right up until the downfall
02:10:40.880 in the late 80s and
02:10:43.220 the 90s and what not
02:10:44.320 so their bombing campaigns went astray
02:10:47.340 and the schism started to emerge
02:10:49.400 because really what the conflict is about is
02:10:51.380 how extreme should we be to get what we
02:10:53.440 want so in one side it's always
02:10:55.560 trying to rein in the other side and then
02:10:57.540 the more extreme side having
02:10:59.500 no limit to how extreme they'll get
02:11:01.460 and so
02:11:03.260 maybe on a long enough timeline that does
02:11:05.580 involve nukes
02:11:07.280 does it why not you know what I mean
02:11:09.420 like how far are you willing to go
02:11:11.120 if you keep escalating and then you don't
02:11:13.580 get what you want you don't get Irish independence
02:11:15.280 does that not result in you
02:11:16.820 nuking 10
02:11:19.220 Downing Street right
02:11:20.540 tell me why not
02:11:22.460 and it never came to that
02:11:25.140 but could conceivably
02:11:26.440 yeah I mean
02:11:28.680 according to
02:11:31.000 Castro and
02:11:32.920 Guevara who I don't like but some other people the whole point to guerrilla war is is not to like
02:11:39.380 win the war in a regular sense but to just sap the enemy until they get frustrated and then
02:11:45.740 walk off so yeah I mean nuking 10 downing street should actually be off the table
02:11:51.740 right you're not really you're you're totally outside of your range and I kind of agree
02:11:56.720 Barry or somebody else had said that that like as soon as they started bombing English cities
02:12:00.760 they were completely out of their depth and i i do kind of agree like the point the point to a
02:12:06.600 guerrilla war is make it too expensive for them to continue doing the thing that you want them to
02:12:12.020 stop doing and they'll stop doing it really a guerrilla war only works if it's an invading
02:12:19.480 force entering your country exactly and you have the territory you've got the lay of the land you
02:12:25.020 could do that when they're reaching out in england it's just war you're just conducting
02:12:29.040 right right right it's something you conduct on your own territory to get rid of somebody that
02:12:34.100 you view as an outside power yeah so the question is would they ever you know failing
02:12:40.140 their if they fail at repelling the british or getting into leave is it inevitable that they
02:12:47.960 would always reach out you know that is the question that in the case of ira yes other
02:12:53.060 guerrilla movements maybe they seem to give up were they were the viet i think i'm trying to
02:12:58.780 attack america i think it's one of those things where it's like you're looking at levels of
02:13:03.620 levels of escalation and engagement that hadn't been reached prior to that point probably and if
02:13:08.780 you had to just stay the course like it was a tough slog but if you had to just kept on for
02:13:12.460 another 20 years there's no way the british would have stayed just at the same level yeah it would
02:13:18.680 have been it would have just been afghanistan too at some point they're just like fuck it man
02:13:23.000 we're leaving a will yeah and the problem is that like we said with the cartels they are
02:13:30.940 somewhat decentralized so just because you have shin fein saying one thing and maybe you have
02:13:35.320 the central leadership saying another you might at the same time have just the people living in
02:13:39.980 south arma or elsewhere saying we disagree with them like right the story of the ira was they
02:13:45.360 kept signing peace treaties and breaking them yeah like the same which which seems to be less
02:13:50.600 about dishonesty and more about the fact that there really was no singular leader there was
02:13:56.760 no irish napoleon and not i mean not napoleon's a bad example there was no irish castro i should
02:14:02.640 say yeah they didn't have and like the closest leader might have been someone it would have
02:14:07.820 been de valer or collins at that time but the point is it needed to be either one or the other
02:14:12.720 yeah either one of them would have more had it would have had more success than both of them
02:14:17.240 together and collins is just like i'm the best at running these departments and i'm looked to
02:14:21.260 as a leader just because i run six departments which is just insane yeah but it's like i'm just
02:14:26.960 really good at you're also a bit of a psycho though spying and killing people and right and
02:14:31.100 being a drunk irishman whereas this other guy de valera has designs and aspirations to be a leader
02:14:37.180 but he's more academic right so both maybe both of these don't work as a leader they're both kind
02:14:45.060 you know they work in their domain but i mean if one of them could be chained to the radiator to
02:14:51.420 the other i don't care which they probably would have had more success i think the the issue was
02:14:56.300 like you said like you had all of these treaties broken there's no like there nobody wins in a
02:15:00.940 broken treaty i don't think like most okay that's not true but most of the time if you if you make
02:15:05.400 a treaty and the treaty actually had a purpose and then you break the treaty because you lose
02:15:08.640 your footing nobody wins the your opponent doesn't win but also you don't win like you
02:15:13.260 fucked them over but you also just fucked yourself
02:15:15.280 over because you no longer have bargaining power
02:15:17.000 so and if these
02:15:19.220 treaties are being broken because of a disagreement
02:15:21.320 between De Valera and
02:15:22.820 and you know
02:15:24.740 it's not a good it's not good
02:15:26.820 yeah he ends it here by saying the IRA
02:15:28.880 demonstrated that even when the insurgents
02:15:31.060 are poorly armed they can sustain their
02:15:32.960 efforts indefinitely so long as their
02:15:34.860 discipline their intelligence is
02:15:36.880 good and government's intelligence
02:15:38.800 effort is fragmented disorganized
02:15:41.000 and weak as noted earlier Britain
02:15:42.980 learned this lesson in spades in Ireland. Having had the experience of trying to neutralize the
02:15:47.740 IRA and the Irish countryside for three years, British Army Intelligence Officer Colin Gubbins
02:15:53.160 became an admirer of Michael Collins and his methods. As we've seen, Michael Collins recognized
02:15:57.760 that a sizable proportion of the British civil service was composed of sympathetic or vulnerable
02:16:03.960 Irish-born natives who could be recruited or otherwise induced or coerced in supporting and
02:16:09.700 assisting his secret intelligence networks so yeah i i think the reason one of the main reasons
02:16:15.980 they succeeded was their secret intelligence network but then later on over the 16 decades
02:16:21.400 as we were just discussing i think schisms become inevitable because it's not really a top-down
02:16:26.400 paramilitary organization it is more of a cell-like structure you have disagreements on what level of
02:16:31.600 extremism is acceptable and how when you're talking about you just want a bunch of dead
02:16:38.340 english people well where are the dead english people because you're always going to have certain
02:16:42.880 cells are saying like well let of course let's take it to england we can make a bomb we don't need
02:16:47.840 the sign on from some fucking politician in shin fein right so i don't know it's just it had a
02:16:56.300 momentum but it didn't have a sort of coherency it just had some highly competent men and some
02:17:03.440 highly competent leaders than men but i don't know maybe it needed more cohesion i don't know
02:17:10.560 it's it's it's strange watching what it became you know because unless unless the english lead
02:17:20.020 like i think de valera was he was always trying to just broker a peaceful where everyone can win
02:17:25.780 and i do think that their only victory condition could have been the exit of
02:17:31.080 the English. And anything
02:17:33.380 short of that was basically a failure
02:17:35.600 of their organization.
02:17:38.220 I think a lot of people would agree
02:17:39.600 with that. Anyway, so with that in mind,
02:17:42.160 have a look at the IRA. We've seen
02:17:43.520 how they're structured. We know their history.
02:17:46.080 And we know
02:17:46.980 the internal conflicts that have
02:17:49.440 plagued them. And we're going
02:17:51.520 to build that into discussing the FLQ
02:17:53.340 next time. So anyway, I've got to let you go.
02:17:55.780 This has been going on for long enough.
02:17:57.760 Good one, man. I'll talk to you next time.
02:17:59.680 See you.
02:18:01.080 Thank you.
