Transcript

00:00:00.000 All right, we are recording again.
00:00:05.360 Okay, so, Beclaw, you want to go into this whole neo-reactionary thing.
00:00:14.880 Well, I'm not a neo-reactionary, despite the fact that a lot of people think I am.
00:00:19.560 I mean, I have some slight neo-reactionary leanings, but I'm a libertarian through and through.
00:00:24.240 But I find I have a lot of neo-reactionary listeners on my channel, and, you know, I'm friendly with a lot of them.
00:00:36.960 Like, I talk to the anti-democracy blog guy a lot on Twitter, like the guy a lot.
00:00:44.540 Yeah, and I don't know if I am a neo-reactionary.
00:00:47.040 Like, I think Moldbug's theories are very engaging.
00:00:53.220 They're quite excellent.
00:00:54.840 I'm not at all surprised to find out that he is a Catholic.
00:00:59.580 And he's basically quit blogging because he has a family to raise.
00:01:04.700 I don't know.
00:01:05.360 But I guess I've received a bit of flack from the neo-reactionary community.
00:01:13.160 And I suppose I need to address this right off the bat.
00:01:19.120 Like, this is, it's a personal issue that doesn't really have any bearing upon it.
00:01:27.100 Like, it...
00:01:28.500 Alright, I'll spit it out.
00:01:29.820 But what it boils down to is that I slept with a divorced woman because at the time I was operating under 19th century morality on divorce.
00:01:45.360 And by 19th century morality that divorce was legal and justified, etc.
00:01:51.380 And, you know, it completely blew up in my face.
00:01:54.020 Presently, if I were in that situation, I would have told her to get back to your husband.
00:02:04.820 You made a vow.
00:02:09.960 You know, so, I don't know.
00:02:11.280 It was...
00:02:13.540 A mistake is not something I'm proud of and happy with.
00:02:17.620 But at the same time, it's...
00:02:19.640 It was...
00:02:21.020 It was a sin of omission, not a sin of permission.
00:02:25.460 And it seems like a bunch of the neo-reactionary community, it's like they're angry at me for praying upon a married woman.
00:02:32.940 Which, you know, isn't...
00:02:34.400 But I was prayed upon by a divorcing woman, is what happened.
00:02:40.880 So they are rather cross with me for that.
00:02:43.860 And the thing is, I really can't say much more about it than that, because it was...
00:02:52.180 Listen, the other people involved are not public figures.
00:02:58.260 You know, it's not like...
00:02:59.980 If you and me got into a huge fistfight...
00:03:02.580 Actually, you know what?
00:03:03.960 Me and a public figure did get into a huge argument recently.
00:03:07.280 Didn't we?
00:03:09.560 Oh, yeah!
00:03:10.940 Took me a second to think.
00:03:12.300 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:03:13.960 So that's a different scenario, you know?
00:03:16.620 And we've resolved our differences, we're moving forward, it's all good now.
00:03:19.720 You know, and I'm...
00:03:22.160 Bygones be bygones, we are moving forward, things are getting done.
00:03:25.600 There's no reason to obsess about the past.
00:03:29.840 But in this situation, these are not public figures.
00:03:33.320 These are people that deserve privacy, and...
00:03:37.300 I don't want to delve into the tit and tat.
00:03:42.820 I know some of them had a fight with Roosh here recently.
00:03:53.120 I mean, I work for Reaction, so I mean, you know, Roosh pays me, so...
00:03:59.020 On one level, I was like, well, I don't really have a dog in this fight, but on the other hand, Roosh pays me, so...
00:04:04.560 Yay, Roosh!
00:04:05.080 Yeah, I've heard, um...
00:04:09.280 But, I guess, the guy on Twitter who does the Jokeocracy Twitter handle, um...
00:04:17.860 Oh, yeah, I guess he sent me a root tweet the other day.
00:04:22.520 Yeah, he...
00:04:23.240 Duck Enlightenment or something.
00:04:24.460 I mean, I like his...
00:04:27.280 I follow his Twitter, he's funny.
00:04:30.760 But...
00:04:31.240 He, I guess, wanted to write for Return of Kings.
00:04:35.100 As I understand the conflict.
00:04:39.340 And Return of Kings is phasing in this new policy where they want people to use real names, or at least names that sound like real names.
00:04:48.180 Like, it can be a pen name, but it's gotta be like, you know, Carl Johnson.
00:04:53.360 It can't be like, Duck Enlightenment.
00:04:57.280 Well, he wanted to use Duck Enlightenment, because that's his brand.
00:05:01.500 And...
00:05:02.180 They had a big hissy fit.
00:05:05.060 And he started attacking Roosh afterwards.
00:05:08.440 Um...
00:05:09.160 Now, the merits of any of his attacks aside, it sounds like the motivation is, you know, Roosh didn't let him play in his clubhouse.
00:05:18.740 Okay, I've heard some...
00:05:20.360 Alternative, and I'm...
00:05:22.360 That's what I observed on Twitter.
00:05:25.020 There could be other layers to it I didn't see, but that's what I saw observing their tweets.
00:05:31.860 Yeah, and...
00:05:33.300 Like, listen, I am privileged to have an account over at, at, uh...
00:05:38.600 Roosh V Forum.
00:05:39.820 I think it's a really good forum with lots of great material in it.
00:05:42.380 And I, you know, try and occasionally post stuff that is useful.
00:05:46.740 Not a huge...
00:05:48.100 Not a very popular member or anything like that, but, um...
00:05:52.380 I, I, I've heard some other sides of the story, and...
00:05:57.040 See, I'm, I'm really not interested in taking sides.
00:06:00.800 You know, like, which...
00:06:02.360 Sometimes men need to take sides, but other times it's...
00:06:06.040 Sometimes people just legitimately disagree and get really angry at each other.
00:06:12.300 And...
00:06:12.820 I'm sorry.
00:06:14.080 We're, we're fighting a culture war right now.
00:06:16.060 I, I...
00:06:16.980 Anyway, this is just what I've heard.
00:06:19.800 I've heard, I've heard that a particular moderator on the forum has been getting very aggressive, um, banning the sort of stuff that on the one hand, he's being a little bit politically correct, but at the same time, um, the purpose of the Roosh V Forum is not to be politically correct, or politically incorrect in all forms.
00:06:49.800 Well, wasn't it the, uh, the race realism talk he was banning?
00:06:54.560 I, I think it might have been.
00:06:57.040 And, and Roosh posted, uh, he posted something acknowledging race realism, that yes, the, like, this is a basic fact of reality, that the races are subtly different.
00:07:09.840 Sometimes they're very different, on average.
00:07:13.320 You know, it's...
00:07:14.320 But there's, there's also this element of extreme racial hatred that's online, and, you know, I've spoken out against that a number of times, um, yeah, I, I said, in theory, I approve of white nationalism because every race has the right to exist, but in practice, white nationalism often seems to me to be very angry and hateful.
00:07:38.700 And, and the Roosh V Forum is supposed to be a place where we're realistic about women.
00:07:45.680 And now, it, yes, that means an element of realism, period.
00:07:49.980 The, the red pill or neomasculinity means not being as, not being a sissy, not being a hugbox baby that can't, can't deal with the truth.
00:08:02.080 But at the same time, this is a form about dealing with women.
00:08:06.740 If every third post is about race, well, what, what, what the hell is that?
00:08:14.380 You know, that completely dilutes the, the purpose and intent of the forum.
00:08:19.860 If, you know what I mean?
00:08:21.860 Mm-hmm.
00:08:23.420 So, I don't know, maybe, maybe the moderator was being a bit of a douchebag.
00:08:27.940 Or maybe people were trying to push an agenda, which isn't necessarily a bad agenda, but would undermine.
00:08:38.780 Imagine if Gamergate showed up at the Roosh V Forum and wanted to make every thread about SJWs and video games.
00:08:48.380 Yeah.
00:08:49.120 Fan hammer time.
00:08:50.100 Roosh V Forum is not about video, like, there's a place for it every once in a while.
00:08:59.040 So, like, again, maybe, maybe I'm just a pussy, but I'm not going to take a stance on any of this.
00:09:03.180 I understand that sometimes people can be legitimately angry at each other, and that's okay.
00:09:09.980 I honestly think I could never moderate something like that, because I've, I've run across too many, um, too many heavy-handed moderators that, that, you know, just try to censor dissent and all that sort of shit, you know, on religious sites I've, I've frequented, on geek media sites, and I just, I would err on the opposite side.
00:09:34.880 I would be way too free and easy.
00:09:36.320 Like, I, I know I posted some stuff on the Roosh V Forum, but I, I, it felt to me like it was treading the line, because I tend to take a more traditional view of the importance of marriage, and, I, I'm, on the one hand, I think that, yeah, every young man should read Bang.
00:09:57.820 Every young man needs to learn game.
00:09:59.440 The more religious you are, the more important it is that you learn it, but at the same time, I don't, it's not the lifestyle I aspire to.
00:10:09.800 Yeah, I understand that.
00:10:11.340 No, I, I, I, I never read Bang, um, which I guess, again, I, I work for Roosh, so I guess it sounds odd that I haven't read any of his stuff, really, but I already read a lot of the stuff from Chateau Artiste back when that blog was good.
00:10:26.260 And, and, and, I kind of feel like, you know, I mean, there's only so much reading about game you need, after that it just becomes practice.
00:10:34.480 You don't need to read anymore.
00:10:37.840 You need to just practice it.
00:10:40.360 That's something that's been wrong with the manosphere.
00:10:43.240 How many fucking posts about, about fucking negging a chick can there be?
00:10:47.940 Yeah, I, I just heard a, uh, a priest making that same argument, that, like, the true Christian doesn't need the Bible, but the Bible's just there to remind you.
00:11:00.040 Like, you, you already know what you need to be doing as a good person.
00:11:03.640 The Bible's just kind of there to kick you in the ass.
00:11:06.100 And I think that the greatest value of a book like Bang, I mean, well, two values.
00:11:11.460 The first, there's the opening your eyes.
00:11:12.760 There's taking the red pill.
00:11:14.780 Right?
00:11:15.100 Like, does, and, oh, God, we've overused this metaphor, but to, you know, as soon as Neo takes the red pill and he gets kicked out of the Matrix, he's Neo at that point.
00:11:27.240 Now, here's a question.
00:11:27.840 Is he going to do those computer programs to become a really good ninja?
00:11:31.600 Or is he going to do the slow route?
00:11:35.720 The book, reading Bang, that's the quick route.
00:11:39.160 Bang, you've already taken the red pill, you recognize the reality of the world.
00:11:45.100 Reading Bang will give you that motivation to self-improve.
00:11:55.560 But once you understand the principle of self-improvement, you're already there, you know?
00:12:00.160 It's...
00:12:06.240 Anyway, anyway, so to wrap this back around the Neo-Reactionary thing.
00:12:12.100 Now, I guess, like, partly they're angry at me because of personal decisions I've made.
00:12:20.640 And I constantly try and be a better person.
00:12:26.060 You know, like most of my YouTube videos, when I talk about virtue and whatnot, I'm trying to live up to those things.
00:12:32.800 That's why I record them.
00:12:34.020 I'm trying to be a better person.
00:12:35.240 Well, I guess, when they were fighting with Roosh, they were constantly like, oh, he's a degenerate because he just sleeps around and stuff.
00:12:48.120 And, you know, that's not how I live my life.
00:12:50.780 But at the same time, half the time when they're bitching about that, from some of them, not all of them, I'm sure, you know, most of them are just happily married.
00:12:59.000 But a lot of them, they just sound like they're fucking jealous.
00:13:06.520 Yeah.
00:13:07.820 Like, you should be having a wife and kids.
00:13:11.440 Why is that?
00:13:12.120 Well, because I did that and I fucking hate my life.
00:13:17.000 Yeah, again, it sounds like blue pill conservatism.
00:13:19.260 Exactly.
00:13:21.040 We talked about that on a podcast a while back where I said, I read this article by a pastor or something on why you should have kids.
00:13:30.100 And it sounded a lot like a guy who regrets the fact that he had kids, wanting everybody else to be as miserable as him.
00:13:39.660 And I'm not saying you shouldn't have kids, but you wouldn't want to have them after you read that article.
00:13:45.120 Well, they're targeting these public sins of other people, which is kind of frustrating.
00:13:57.460 Like, listen, that situation I described, you know, dating that divorced woman, the mistakes I made there were not the mistakes that you might think based upon the public perception.
00:14:15.120 You know, like, just knowing the surface details of that, my mistakes were not the obvious narrative.
00:14:30.020 And the same thing with Roosh.
00:14:33.120 Now, Roosh, if you want to attack Roosh, let's say Beklop, you want to attack Roosh, what are you going to go after?
00:14:41.020 What's the most obvious flaw in his personality?
00:14:45.120 Oh, I don't know.
00:14:48.000 That he sleeps with a lot of women?
00:14:49.720 Yeah, just being a quagmire type guy.
00:14:55.760 Which, of course, I didn't say, because remember, Roosh signed my checks.
00:14:59.920 Oh, I've got an immense amount of respect for the man.
00:15:03.060 Oh, he's one of the best bosses I've ever had.
00:15:05.160 Keep in mind, like, Roosh, when we talk about Roosh, this is a guy that got fired from his job because of feminists back in, what, like, what, 2008 or something?
00:15:13.560 2009?
00:15:13.920 I'm not sure.
00:15:18.240 I've, it was probably, like, 2011, 2012 that I discovered him.
00:15:22.560 Okay, well, like, you know Adria Richards.
00:15:25.080 Yeah.
00:15:25.360 Yeah, that bitch that got those two guys fired from their job?
00:15:28.940 Mm-hmm.
00:15:29.620 That was Roosh.
00:15:31.080 He was that guy.
00:15:32.320 Really?
00:15:32.680 He was that guy that lost his job because of feminists, because he had a blog called DC Bachelor, where he wrote about picking up girls at clubs, and he lost his professional job.
00:15:44.940 Um, as a, I'm not going to say what, I don't know how much this is actually public knowledge and how much this is rumor that it, I'm pretty sure it's all public knowledge, but I don't want to, you know, like, provide our enemies with ammo.
00:15:58.620 Um, but it was in a very technical field.
00:16:01.260 He lost his job.
00:16:03.540 And instead of going on the dole, instead of begging and apologizing, he decided, he decided to become Roosh V.
00:16:12.640 And so he went down, I think, to South America and started writing these travel pickup guides.
00:16:22.660 So this man turned lemons into lemonade.
00:16:31.640 And since then, I mean, like, this guy already had a comfortable life.
00:16:34.420 You know, like, Roosh in 2012, or 2010, was selling books.
00:16:43.240 He had a popular blog.
00:16:45.900 You know, and what does he do?
00:16:46.760 He starts Return of Kings.
00:16:50.580 Which is this, this clearing.
00:16:53.000 Now, there's people that criticize it because it's very listical.
00:16:56.400 I mean, I'm, I think my buddy Doc Illusion, way too critical of Roosh.
00:17:00.840 Like, like, yes, Return of Kings is very marketable.
00:17:06.380 But he did that.
00:17:09.040 We actually have a magazine.
00:17:10.780 Return of Kings isn't going anywhere.
00:17:13.900 We've got a magazine.
00:17:17.040 And it's a, like, the worst thing you can say about Return of Kings is that it's as dumb as every other magazine.
00:17:23.620 You know, like, there's an article today by, like, eight pieces of wisdom from Homer Simpson.
00:17:31.140 And, yeah, that's not exactly Shakespeare.
00:17:34.700 I grant you that.
00:17:36.580 But it's an institution.
00:17:39.060 And they create reaction.
00:17:41.580 Reaction.
00:17:42.540 Which is also an institution.
00:17:44.740 Reaction.
00:17:47.180 Yeah.
00:17:48.740 And your big complaint is that...
00:17:49.660 Much as they bitch about it, you know, reaction's not going anywhere either.
00:17:54.380 We've had two articles, one of which was running, yay for me, that have gone viral.
00:18:00.520 And you want to complain to me that this guy sleeps with too many women?
00:18:09.180 I...
00:18:09.660 Yeah, I get a little annoyed with the reactionary crowd that's like, oh, well, go, you know, go have a family and settle down and stuff.
00:18:28.540 And it's like, you know, have you looked around at the world around you?
00:18:34.140 That's not that viable an option for a lot of people anymore.
00:18:38.200 No, I...
00:18:38.600 I have time to figure out how you do that.
00:18:41.760 Yeah, there's...
00:18:42.480 And, you know, as soon as I figure it out, I'll tell everybody.
00:18:44.680 There's not a huge fucking pool of wife-material women out there.
00:18:50.560 Now, not to slam on women, because there's not a tremendous pool of husband-material men out there.
00:18:55.560 No, we're pretty terrible men.
00:18:57.760 But, I mean, for fuck's sake, I have...
00:19:01.500 You know, you're getting dangerously close to the man up in Mary that slut territory.
00:19:05.740 Well, and we're talking about Anismal.
00:19:10.300 I don't know if he likes or hates me.
00:19:11.900 I...
00:19:12.240 I have no ill will towards him.
00:19:18.260 But...
00:19:18.740 And I even hate bringing this up.
00:19:23.900 But...
00:19:24.340 There were a lot of people...
00:19:26.760 You know, like, when him and Roosh got into it, there were a lot of people making fun of him for dating Rachel Haywire.
00:19:34.160 Because half of her head is shaped off, and she's a punk girl.
00:19:39.840 You know what?
00:19:42.600 She's hot.
00:19:44.640 Yeah, she's a crazy...
00:19:45.920 I...
00:19:46.260 Wouldn't date her, I...
00:19:49.260 But she's hot.
00:19:51.480 And Anismal, like, what is he, like, mid-twenties or something?
00:19:55.600 At least he's not dating a single mom.
00:19:57.500 Yeah, so...
00:19:59.640 So what he was dating...
00:20:00.640 So Anismal is not Mr. Uber Alpha Male at the age of...
00:20:07.500 And I'm guessing, like, early twenties, twenty-three or whatever.
00:20:10.440 He's not the Uber Alpha at twenty-three.
00:20:13.340 Well, that's no reason to make fun of him.
00:20:16.460 I mean, he's a smart guy that posts smart stuff.
00:20:20.700 But at the same time, it's...
00:20:23.500 Why are you so willing to throw rocks when you live in a glass house?
00:20:26.220 And that there's this general element within the neo-rac...
00:20:36.860 Like, they are very, very quick to attack and condemn people that don't live up to their arbitrary atheist moral standards.
00:20:45.760 And it's utterly a standard based upon who their friends are.
00:20:49.560 It's a very tribal sort of a standard.
00:20:56.220 I mean, the thing is, like, I was famous for using the word degenerate.
00:21:03.720 And these people...
00:21:04.860 These people have this arbitrary standard of what is and isn't degenerate.
00:21:10.280 I don't...
00:21:17.920 So much of the neo-reactionary movement, to me, seems like you're just jerking off.
00:21:26.920 Like, I...
00:21:28.920 The Rorschach guy from Anti-Democracy blog.
00:21:32.500 And I've talked to him both on Twitter and...
00:21:34.620 And I love his blog.
00:21:36.040 Really good blog.
00:21:37.240 You know, I've DM'd him on Twitter and all.
00:21:39.660 I've actually been meeting him and have him on my podcast at one point.
00:21:42.820 You know, seems like a really cool dude.
00:21:44.500 So if he's listening to this, please don't take offense.
00:21:47.420 But on his Ask.FM, which I do follow, he had some...
00:21:51.620 Somebody asked him something because he's a monarchist.
00:21:53.680 Somebody asked him something about, like, well, how do you convince the people to adopt the king, right?
00:22:01.080 And he had some response where he was like, the king doesn't need to convince people he's the king, or something like that.
00:22:07.680 And I'm probably butchering it at all.
00:22:09.680 But...
00:22:10.080 That wasn't the question.
00:22:12.500 The question was, how do you establish this?
00:22:14.060 How do you...
00:22:14.500 Because even a monarchy, you know, exists at...
00:22:19.360 You know, ultimately at the consent of the governed.
00:22:22.520 Well, not the consent, I would say, but the belief of the governed.
00:22:26.280 You know, because ultimately if enough of them decide we've had enough of this guy, they'll drag his ass into the guillotine.
00:22:32.740 You know, he's not fucking Superman, he's just a man.
00:22:36.500 You know, all dictators have to convince, have to either frighten or convince enough of the people to go along with him.
00:22:45.360 And the same is true of any form of government.
00:22:48.660 Ultimately, the people have the power.
00:22:52.320 By sheer numbers.
00:22:53.520 This is my big worry about the neo-reactionaries.
00:22:56.740 Is that they are...
00:22:57.740 They are making up a club.
00:23:01.460 Rather than making a political difference.
00:23:04.120 Yeah.
00:23:04.500 Are you trying to establish something, or are you just jerking off?
00:23:08.000 I mean, I...
00:23:09.180 And as a libertarian, you know what?
00:23:10.520 I see that all the time in the libertarians.
00:23:12.840 You know, are you actually trying to reach out to people and convince people why you think this is how things should be structured?
00:23:18.420 Or are you just fucking jerking off?
00:23:22.200 You know, there's a guy called...
00:23:24.260 Now, there's a time and a place for jerking off, but you do that too much, you go blind.
00:23:27.780 As the old wives' tale says.
00:23:31.440 You know what?
00:23:33.860 It really bothers me that they...
00:23:37.540 This moral righteousness they're trying to promote...
00:23:42.280 I mean, this is ironic, because they're the biggest critics of Protestantism.
00:23:46.380 But it's a very Protestant concept.
00:23:48.800 If you just follow our club of house rules, you're righteous.
00:23:53.380 And if you go against them, you're degenerate.
00:23:59.900 Guess what?
00:24:01.420 Guys.
00:24:02.600 You're all degenerates.
00:24:04.300 We're all pieces of shit.
00:24:06.200 We're all idiots.
00:24:10.380 Have you ever looked up the list of cardinal sins in the Catholic Church?
00:24:13.620 I can't say I have, but I'm not a Catholic, so...
00:24:19.420 Good luck.
00:24:21.040 Good luck not committing a cardinal sin.
00:24:25.640 Well, that's the whole point of Christianity, you know?
00:24:29.420 If you could just stop sinning, Jesus wouldn't have been nailed to that tree.
00:24:34.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:24:34.720 It's when it goes by.
00:24:35.840 And this is supposed to be one of the principles of neo-reactionary philosophy.
00:24:39.640 It's when you try and institute public morality, when you try and take these metaphysical laws
00:24:48.500 and put them down into public law, everything goes to the fuck.
00:24:58.340 And yet that's exactly what they're doing, where they're black and white.
00:25:01.600 This black and white morality they're hoisting upon people, and they're just trying to create
00:25:09.380 their own little clubhouse.
00:25:12.820 And then...
00:25:13.600 And, you know, then they start introducing words like Ganon.
00:25:18.260 Have you heard this Ganon?
00:25:19.300 Yeah, as I understand the definition of that, it's for, I guess, the atheist corner of neo-reactionary.
00:25:31.200 They need a placeholder for God, as they put it.
00:25:36.460 Because ultimately, there's no morality without a God of some sort.
00:25:40.260 Whenever I hear an atheist even use words like morality, or even a word like should, I'm
00:25:47.580 like, you don't really get to use that word.
00:25:50.300 Well, I bring up Gerdahl's incompleteness theorem, but that's...
00:25:54.060 Gee, that's a book I'm trying to write.
00:25:55.920 I mean, if there's no...
00:25:57.080 If there is no God of some sort, there is no right and wrong.
00:26:01.520 Period.
00:26:01.820 Period.
00:26:04.980 They are really turning it into a bloody clubhouse, as opposed to a dialogue.
00:26:10.800 And are you familiar with Trannygate?
00:26:15.340 Trannygate?
00:26:16.840 Trannygate.
00:26:18.880 I'm pleased to say I don't believe I am.
00:26:21.620 Okay, good for you.
00:26:22.560 Well, you know Justine Tunney, right?
00:26:25.260 Yeah.
00:26:26.600 I know of her.
00:26:27.940 I follow her on Twitter.
00:26:31.000 I've read some of her stuff.
00:26:33.280 One of the few Trannies I'll actually call her.
00:26:36.160 You know what?
00:26:36.760 That's exactly my stance on things.
00:26:40.260 Justine looks like a woman.
00:26:47.220 She doesn't...
00:26:49.820 She actually does not make a big deal about being a transsexual.
00:26:54.140 You know, it's just kind of like a fact.
00:26:57.940 You know, it's like a fact I'm Canadian.
00:27:00.520 You know, it's about that substantial.
00:27:02.600 And she seems to be doing a lot of cool, productive stuff with her life.
00:27:11.000 And she's not one of these SJW gender feminist, friggin' sexual degenerate weirdos that just wants to post pictures of their assholes on the internet.
00:27:18.780 I get the feeling that Justine would not make a big stink if I called Justine him.
00:27:27.960 So that's why I'm willing to humor Justine and call her her.
00:27:35.860 I just...
00:27:36.460 I get...
00:27:37.460 Because I don't...
00:27:39.400 I like Justine, but I don't approve of transsexualism.
00:27:43.660 I think it's a mental illness.
00:27:46.060 I think these people need therapy and are...
00:27:48.680 They need therapy, not surgery.
00:27:50.120 But I am a libertarian.
00:27:53.060 You know, I believe you have the right to run your life.
00:27:55.200 And that includes the right to run it in the ditch.
00:27:58.180 So I'm content to just say, okay, fine.
00:28:00.660 That's...
00:28:01.120 That's Justine's business.
00:28:05.580 You know, there's a Catholic priest by the name of Robert Barron.
00:28:11.780 That brilliant, brilliant guy.
00:28:13.920 And he was talking about how the Pope has been very soft about a lot of things.
00:28:20.120 And he was putting it this way.
00:28:21.820 Like, given how broken modern society is,
00:28:25.560 if it's...
00:28:26.800 The church is supposed to be a...
00:28:29.120 A medic tent.
00:28:32.780 And when somebody comes off the battle lines,
00:28:35.740 you don't check their blood cholesterol.
00:28:38.000 You stop the bleeding.
00:28:41.740 Yeah, that makes sense.
00:28:43.600 So it's...
00:28:46.120 Like...
00:28:47.960 Even from if...
00:28:50.120 Again, in the morally perfect world,
00:28:53.140 we would all be too busy fucking our wives
00:28:55.620 and making babies to...
00:28:58.940 Watch porn and...
00:29:01.480 Like, in that morally perfect world,
00:29:03.860 then in that world,
00:29:04.820 then maybe Justine would be Justin.
00:29:09.300 Yeah, in this world,
00:29:12.600 Justine is a person that I see doing a lot of good.
00:29:15.100 And just because her sin,
00:29:23.700 her missing the mark,
00:29:25.040 is more obvious than my sin,
00:29:28.360 doesn't make it any greater or lesser.
00:29:38.600 And...
00:29:39.040 Like, at the end...
00:29:39.860 Like, what I'm trying to say is that,
00:29:41.560 you and me,
00:29:43.220 as far as I can tell,
00:29:44.920 we're roughly on the same level of shithead as Justine is.
00:29:48.900 Hmph.
00:29:52.000 So, me complaining
00:29:54.040 about what she does with her body
00:29:57.700 is absolutely...
00:30:00.260 Now,
00:30:01.640 Brianna Wu
00:30:02.840 is an entirely different level of shithead.
00:30:06.360 Oh, yeah.
00:30:07.120 I...
00:30:07.520 I wrote an article in Reaction
00:30:09.520 talking about
00:30:10.260 Brianna Wu's game,
00:30:11.920 and...
00:30:12.720 And at one point,
00:30:14.260 I pointed out...
00:30:15.660 Because she had had this tweet,
00:30:16.820 or he had had this tweet,
00:30:18.540 where it was like,
00:30:19.660 you know,
00:30:20.020 people just hate on my game
00:30:21.180 because I'm a woman,
00:30:21.900 and I'm like,
00:30:22.300 you're not a woman.
00:30:23.920 And then I finally,
00:30:24.980 after I, you know,
00:30:25.740 hammered that point on,
00:30:26.500 I said,
00:30:26.880 but let's not harp on that,
00:30:28.500 because if I had to make a list
00:30:29.680 of the things wrong with Brianna Wu,
00:30:31.700 her being a tranny
00:30:32.860 wouldn't crack the top 100.
00:30:35.100 No,
00:30:35.500 her being a tranny
00:30:36.360 is a symptom
00:30:36.880 of everything else
00:30:37.800 that's screwed up about her.
00:30:39.740 It.
00:30:40.400 Him.
00:30:41.060 It's...
00:30:42.780 Fuck's sake,
00:30:43.700 not even passable.
00:30:45.680 No,
00:30:46.060 and you've seen the video game
00:30:47.880 that it made.
00:30:50.420 Oh,
00:30:50.740 that nightmare.
00:30:51.720 It looked like if Rob Liefeld
00:30:53.060 was asked to draw Bratz dolls.
00:30:56.500 Yeah,
00:30:57.320 like,
00:30:57.440 like,
00:30:57.920 major,
00:30:58.980 major sexual...
00:30:59.640 And plus the graphics
00:31:01.060 looked like a 32X.
00:31:06.600 Anyway,
00:31:07.060 anyway,
00:31:07.360 so to wrap this back
00:31:09.380 around the tranny gauge,
00:31:10.680 and,
00:31:11.100 you know,
00:31:11.260 I don't even like
00:31:11.860 talking about this.
00:31:13.560 I,
00:31:14.040 you know,
00:31:14.360 kudos to Justine
00:31:15.880 for being public
00:31:16.560 about all of this.
00:31:19.140 Seriously,
00:31:19.440 like,
00:31:19.560 serious major kudos
00:31:21.020 to her for being public.
00:31:22.180 Because this is just
00:31:24.660 more gossip on the internet
00:31:26.160 about her personal life
00:31:27.440 that she's put out there.
00:31:30.580 I'm in no place
00:31:31.520 to judge her.
00:31:32.980 You know,
00:31:33.360 she's no more
00:31:35.140 of a shithead
00:31:35.560 than I am.
00:31:37.740 And,
00:31:38.060 but the,
00:31:38.520 the neo-reactionary
00:31:39.520 community
00:31:40.060 got into a huge
00:31:41.120 uproar,
00:31:42.280 a huge tizzy
00:31:43.060 because
00:31:44.720 she'd written
00:31:46.040 in very intelligent,
00:31:47.780 well-worded,
00:31:48.640 smart essays
00:31:49.600 supporting
00:31:51.280 neo-reactionary
00:31:52.840 philosophy
00:31:53.340 and yet
00:31:54.340 she was
00:31:55.120 obviously
00:31:56.920 not Jesus.
00:32:01.240 You and I
00:32:01.920 are also not Jesus,
00:32:03.160 but it's more obvious
00:32:04.240 that she's not Jesus.
00:32:07.400 Yeah,
00:32:07.940 how do you intend
00:32:08.740 to grow a movement
00:32:09.760 when you're turning
00:32:10.800 people away
00:32:11.440 at the door?
00:32:16.960 Precisely.
00:32:18.300 I mean,
00:32:18.780 neo,
00:32:19.020 and not for
00:32:20.340 like,
00:32:20.700 not for
00:32:21.080 ideological reasons,
00:32:22.340 but for purely
00:32:22.960 personal ones.
00:32:27.100 When Moldbug
00:32:28.100 started writing,
00:32:31.500 like,
00:32:31.800 the whole purpose
00:32:32.820 of Moldbug
00:32:33.640 was not to
00:32:36.440 promote
00:32:36.800 an agenda,
00:32:39.360 but to
00:32:40.860 flip things
00:32:41.960 upside down
00:32:42.940 and look at them
00:32:44.140 like you were
00:32:44.940 a traveler
00:32:45.360 from the 17th century.
00:32:46.560 so I
00:32:56.060 ask you,
00:32:57.180 imagine you're
00:32:58.500 a traveler,
00:32:59.200 a time traveler
00:32:59.720 from the 17th century.
00:33:03.160 Who's going to
00:33:04.460 offend
00:33:05.800 and upset you
00:33:06.580 more?
00:33:08.920 Justine Tunney,
00:33:09.780 a transsexual
00:33:12.700 who's gainfully
00:33:13.620 employed
00:33:14.180 and writes
00:33:14.680 very erudite
00:33:15.760 essays
00:33:16.400 advocating
00:33:17.880 for personal
00:33:18.500 responsibility.
00:33:20.860 Or,
00:33:23.200 man,
00:33:23.980 yeah,
00:33:24.180 like,
00:33:25.960 I'm sure the gentleman
00:33:27.500 from the 17th century
00:33:28.520 will lift his monocle
00:33:30.500 when he meets
00:33:31.920 Justine.
00:33:32.400 I remember
00:33:40.560 Adam Carolla
00:33:41.520 had a show
00:33:42.000 on Comedy Central
00:33:42.800 years ago.
00:33:44.920 It was in the
00:33:45.860 time slot
00:33:46.520 where Colbert
00:33:47.240 was before,
00:33:48.980 right before
00:33:49.880 Colbert was on,
00:33:52.000 like,
00:33:52.340 right before
00:33:52.760 his show
00:33:53.200 premiered,
00:33:54.280 and he had
00:33:55.680 skits on there
00:33:56.380 where it was like,
00:33:57.120 Adam Carolla
00:33:57.920 talks to
00:33:58.660 1770s guy,
00:34:00.020 and it was
00:34:02.880 always like,
00:34:03.580 talking to some
00:34:04.400 guy looks like
00:34:04.980 an American
00:34:05.380 founding father,
00:34:06.920 and,
00:34:07.300 like,
00:34:07.520 one of the bits
00:34:08.360 was like,
00:34:08.780 Adam Carolla
00:34:09.280 talks to
00:34:09.800 1770s guy
00:34:10.940 about women
00:34:11.920 in the military,
00:34:12.980 and they cut to him
00:34:13.960 and the guy's
00:34:14.460 just laughing at him.
00:34:18.700 It was another one
00:34:19.740 where it was like,
00:34:20.300 Adam Carolla
00:34:20.860 talks to 1770s guy
00:34:22.740 about internet porn,
00:34:24.160 and the guy's
00:34:24.800 sitting there
00:34:25.080 and he goes,
00:34:25.620 so you mean to
00:34:26.180 tell me there's
00:34:26.760 a device in your
00:34:27.580 house with which
00:34:28.740 you can see
00:34:29.400 millions of
00:34:30.540 pictures of
00:34:31.120 nubile young
00:34:31.800 women performing
00:34:32.540 sex acts?
00:34:33.700 Come,
00:34:34.220 let us make
00:34:34.760 haste.
00:34:36.960 Do it
00:34:37.600 be hilarious
00:34:38.340 if somebody
00:34:40.540 did the
00:34:41.280 reverse of
00:34:41.980 that skit
00:34:42.600 with a,
00:34:44.800 like,
00:34:45.060 a naive
00:34:45.840 21st century
00:34:47.340 guy with
00:34:47.820 no sense
00:34:48.240 of history
00:34:48.700 talking to
00:34:49.880 a very
00:34:50.340 erudite
00:34:50.900 and educated
00:34:51.620 17th century
00:34:53.000 guy?
00:34:56.020 That's actually,
00:34:57.100 I should maybe
00:34:57.820 write these skits.
00:34:58.620 That's a
00:34:59.380 brilliant idea.
00:35:03.260 Talking to
00:35:04.020 2015 guy.
00:35:05.540 Because seriously,
00:35:06.380 the 17th century,
00:35:07.320 you know that
00:35:08.220 in the dark
00:35:08.760 all cats are
00:35:09.480 gray.
00:35:11.340 To quote
00:35:11.720 Benjamin
00:35:12.080 Franklin.
00:35:19.080 Good old
00:35:19.760 whore-mongering
00:35:20.420 Benjamin Franklin.
00:35:21.140 Exactly.
00:35:25.140 That terrible
00:35:25.940 man,
00:35:26.340 Roosh,
00:35:26.600 for whore-mongering.
00:35:28.400 Yeah,
00:35:28.640 it really is.
00:35:30.000 Roosh is in
00:35:30.780 good company.
00:35:37.000 See,
00:35:37.620 it's...
00:35:40.540 Matt Forney
00:35:41.420 said this to me
00:35:42.020 in a conversation.
00:35:43.320 I don't think
00:35:43.840 he'll mind me
00:35:44.340 sharing it,
00:35:44.920 but that
00:35:45.640 what he says
00:35:47.080 that the
00:35:48.260 neo-reactionary
00:35:48.940 community really
00:35:49.940 a year ago,
00:35:53.560 so that'd be
00:35:54.100 2013,
00:35:55.240 fall of 2013,
00:35:57.480 the neo-reactionary
00:35:58.740 community hit the
00:35:59.520 mainstream.
00:36:00.640 They started
00:36:01.360 getting reported
00:36:02.000 on,
00:36:03.200 and they did
00:36:04.900 nothing with it.
00:36:05.820 like,
00:36:11.400 the...
00:36:12.400 I read
00:36:15.260 political theory
00:36:16.260 for fun,
00:36:17.960 and I'm
00:36:19.180 barely aware
00:36:19.780 of what's
00:36:20.080 going on
00:36:20.500 in the
00:36:20.720 community.
00:36:23.940 I'll go back
00:36:24.660 and read
00:36:24.920 Moldbug
00:36:25.300 every so often,
00:36:26.620 but the
00:36:27.880 community has
00:36:28.780 become very
00:36:29.260 insular,
00:36:30.760 and very
00:36:31.500 tribal,
00:36:33.600 and they're
00:36:33.940 inventing all
00:36:34.580 sorts of new...
00:36:35.060 Like,
00:36:35.200 the same thing
00:36:35.660 happened with
00:36:36.080 the less
00:36:36.340 wrong community.
00:36:43.580 Well,
00:36:44.020 you know,
00:36:44.200 people are so
00:36:44.700 desperate for
00:36:45.520 community these
00:36:46.500 days.
00:36:47.840 We're so
00:36:48.520 atomized.
00:36:49.080 We have none
00:36:49.560 of it.
00:36:49.900 I mean,
00:36:51.220 you know,
00:36:51.500 you're lucky
00:36:51.980 to have a
00:36:52.680 small group
00:36:53.300 of friends
00:36:53.820 and maybe
00:36:54.680 a girlfriend
00:36:55.400 or a wife
00:36:55.920 these days.
00:36:58.000 So,
00:36:58.780 people gravitate
00:36:59.800 towards these
00:37:00.300 communities,
00:37:00.960 and that's...
00:37:03.680 And,
00:37:04.080 you know,
00:37:04.380 I mean,
00:37:04.600 I got
00:37:05.180 pushed into
00:37:06.660 the manosphere,
00:37:07.600 but I found
00:37:08.860 actual real
00:37:09.800 friendships from
00:37:10.700 it,
00:37:10.920 people I've
00:37:11.720 met in real
00:37:12.320 life.
00:37:13.320 It's not,
00:37:13.820 you know,
00:37:13.960 like you
00:37:14.440 and Matt
00:37:15.000 and,
00:37:15.220 you know,
00:37:16.120 Aaron and
00:37:16.640 stuff.
00:37:16.980 It's not just
00:37:17.720 jerking off on
00:37:18.560 a keyboard.
00:37:19.820 Well,
00:37:20.120 the manosphere
00:37:21.420 has gone
00:37:21.940 through
00:37:22.420 multiple
00:37:24.260 violent
00:37:26.200 shedding.
00:37:28.060 like,
00:37:28.740 the
00:37:31.600 neo-reactionary
00:37:32.300 community
00:37:32.760 gets into
00:37:34.680 these long
00:37:35.160 protracted
00:37:35.720 debates
00:37:36.180 whether this
00:37:37.480 and this
00:37:37.780 person should
00:37:38.500 be allowed
00:37:38.980 to be a
00:37:39.360 part of it.
00:37:41.700 Justine
00:37:42.200 Tunney is
00:37:42.720 the tranny
00:37:43.440 gate,
00:37:43.800 the...
00:37:44.740 that.
00:37:45.520 Whereas
00:37:45.780 the manosphere,
00:37:46.440 like Matt
00:37:50.760 Forney posted
00:37:51.500 kill your
00:37:52.500 manosphere
00:37:52.920 idols,
00:37:54.220 Rouge posted
00:37:55.960 the death
00:37:56.340 of the
00:37:56.560 manosphere...
00:37:57.000 Like,
00:37:57.340 it's...
00:37:58.440 The manos...
00:37:59.460 Like...
00:38:00.440 How to put
00:38:01.880 this?
00:38:02.140 It's...
00:38:02.440 You don't...
00:38:05.440 If you
00:38:06.660 were trying
00:38:06.960 to suck up
00:38:07.660 and to
00:38:08.700 write the
00:38:09.220 sort of
00:38:09.480 content that...
00:38:10.360 Like,
00:38:10.540 if you want
00:38:10.900 to be
00:38:11.120 Mr.
00:38:11.480 Alpha Male
00:38:11.920 blogger,
00:38:13.460 the manosphere
00:38:13.900 hates that.
00:38:16.440 You know,
00:38:20.640 as a
00:38:21.000 libertarian,
00:38:22.320 I understand
00:38:23.380 a certain
00:38:25.140 desire to
00:38:25.800 keep something
00:38:26.380 ideologically
00:38:27.100 pure.
00:38:28.040 There are a
00:38:28.660 lot of fake
00:38:29.200 libertarians out
00:38:30.060 there and
00:38:30.340 they annoy
00:38:30.720 the fuck
00:38:31.120 out of me.
00:38:32.000 A great
00:38:32.460 example is
00:38:32.940 Glenn Beck.
00:38:34.620 Glenn Beck
00:38:35.340 loves to say
00:38:35.980 he's libertarian.
00:38:37.300 He's fucking
00:38:37.820 not.
00:38:38.260 He's a
00:38:38.880 conservative.
00:38:40.460 He's...
00:38:40.900 He's the
00:38:41.660 Republican that
00:38:42.340 sucks up the
00:38:42.860 libertarian.
00:38:43.480 Yeah.
00:38:43.960 He's about
00:38:44.480 halfway between
00:38:45.780 your straight
00:38:46.460 neocon and
00:38:47.460 a libertarian.
00:38:48.440 He has more
00:38:49.280 libertarian
00:38:49.880 leanings than
00:38:50.560 say George
00:38:51.040 Bush did,
00:38:51.940 but he's
00:38:54.800 not a
00:38:55.780 libertarian.
00:38:56.680 Now,
00:38:56.940 that being
00:38:57.220 said,
00:38:57.880 he is what
00:38:58.480 he is.
00:38:59.560 I dislike
00:39:00.440 the fact that
00:39:01.040 he lies about
00:39:01.720 what he is,
00:39:02.560 but I don't
00:39:03.220 begrudge him
00:39:03.720 what he is.
00:39:04.800 And if he
00:39:05.820 was running
00:39:06.360 for office,
00:39:07.260 I would
00:39:07.580 probably vote
00:39:08.300 for him
00:39:08.720 before I'd
00:39:09.280 vote for
00:39:09.660 any number
00:39:10.700 of other
00:39:11.080 people I
00:39:11.520 could think
00:39:11.880 of.
00:39:12.120 But I
00:39:15.940 understand the
00:39:16.540 desire to
00:39:17.040 not want
00:39:17.460 entryism.
00:39:18.280 I understand
00:39:18.680 the desire to
00:39:19.620 not want
00:39:20.020 wolves in
00:39:20.560 cheap clothing
00:39:21.220 in your
00:39:21.560 midst.
00:39:23.240 But by the
00:39:23.880 same token,
00:39:24.900 not everyone,
00:39:25.660 you know,
00:39:26.260 there's no
00:39:26.780 ideological
00:39:27.440 purity that
00:39:29.060 doesn't exist.
00:39:31.320 Yeah,
00:39:31.860 there's no
00:39:32.500 perfect
00:39:33.600 constitution.
00:39:35.620 I mean,
00:39:36.040 the big
00:39:36.500 problem with
00:39:36.920 America is
00:39:37.560 that the
00:39:37.820 constitution,
00:39:39.620 which is
00:39:39.960 Yeah,
00:39:41.920 I'll go
00:39:42.280 on it.
00:39:43.360 Let's just
00:39:43.860 say the
00:39:44.100 constitution is
00:39:44.640 the best
00:39:44.960 designed
00:39:45.500 constitution
00:39:46.500 that's ever
00:39:47.000 existed for
00:39:47.740 a government
00:39:49.080 run by
00:39:50.140 men.
00:39:50.820 Yeah,
00:39:51.740 but even
00:39:52.060 the constitution
00:39:52.820 allows itself
00:39:53.780 to be amended
00:39:54.420 for a reason.
00:39:55.900 And even
00:39:56.240 it's fallen
00:39:56.700 to shit.
00:39:58.840 Well,
00:39:59.160 I mean,
00:39:59.320 we just
00:39:59.640 ignore it
00:40:00.160 now.
00:40:00.380 That's
00:40:00.680 the biggest
00:40:03.780 problem.
00:40:04.760 So what
00:40:05.080 makes you
00:40:05.440 think that
00:40:05.800 you're
00:40:06.000 in
00:40:06.100 a contract
00:40:06.240 doesn't
00:40:08.260 work if
00:40:08.680 all parties
00:40:09.220 just ignore
00:40:09.840 it.
00:40:13.800 Yeah,
00:40:14.380 you've seen
00:40:14.900 the same
00:40:15.200 thing with
00:40:15.460 the MGTOW
00:40:16.060 lately.
00:40:17.060 Have you
00:40:17.160 been following
00:40:17.640 any of
00:40:18.020 the MGTOW
00:40:18.620 BS?
00:40:19.940 Yeah,
00:40:20.240 that's,
00:40:20.740 I mean,
00:40:22.320 Aaron Clary
00:40:22.860 made a
00:40:23.300 very common
00:40:24.100 sense
00:40:24.400 observation
00:40:25.000 that,
00:40:25.400 hey,
00:40:25.480 a lot
00:40:25.740 of these
00:40:26.000 are just
00:40:26.320 losers
00:40:26.680 that call
00:40:27.800 themselves
00:40:28.180 MGTOW
00:40:28.760 because they
00:40:29.300 ain't got
00:40:29.560 no choice.
00:40:32.160 See,
00:40:32.440 I've been,
00:40:34.420 now,
00:40:34.760 up until
00:40:35.240 the heat
00:40:35.660 of that
00:40:35.900 video,
00:40:37.160 I
00:40:37.600 followed
00:40:38.080 No Ma'am,
00:40:38.780 which is
00:40:40.500 the original
00:40:41.180 MGTOW,
00:40:42.400 but go
00:40:42.820 check out
00:40:43.200 No Ma'am,
00:40:44.700 and
00:40:45.100 Women's.
00:40:47.100 And
00:40:47.460 Women's
00:40:48.180 is bloody
00:40:49.640 brilliant.
00:40:53.180 But aside
00:40:53.960 from that,
00:40:54.240 he had a
00:40:55.180 MGTOW
00:40:55.580 forum that
00:40:56.260 he had
00:40:56.940 going on,
00:40:57.900 and I'm a
00:40:58.980 member,
00:40:59.320 I don't really
00:40:59.700 post,
00:41:00.140 I'm not sure
00:41:00.500 if anything's
00:41:00.960 going on
00:41:01.320 at the
00:41:01.540 forum.
00:41:03.380 The problem
00:41:04.000 with MGTOW
00:41:04.760 is that,
00:41:06.300 like,
00:41:06.560 like,
00:41:07.300 Roosh V
00:41:07.680 forum
00:41:08.040 game,
00:41:09.320 there's a
00:41:10.160 reason guys
00:41:10.620 show up
00:41:11.120 to get
00:41:11.660 laid.
00:41:13.020 When you're
00:41:13.620 a MGTOW,
00:41:14.960 one day you
00:41:16.120 just stop
00:41:16.500 showing up
00:41:17.000 because the
00:41:17.360 whole point
00:41:17.780 of MGTOW
00:41:18.360 is don't
00:41:18.960 show up,
00:41:20.120 you know?
00:41:20.480 MGTOW is
00:41:27.820 just doing,
00:41:28.840 it's just
00:41:29.440 deciding what
00:41:31.080 you want out
00:41:31.540 of life and
00:41:32.300 going for
00:41:33.320 that.
00:41:34.300 You know,
00:41:34.520 even the
00:41:35.140 idea that it
00:41:35.720 means you
00:41:36.040 swear off
00:41:36.640 women.
00:41:37.360 No,
00:41:37.600 it means you
00:41:38.140 decide what
00:41:39.760 are you willing
00:41:40.280 to tolerate
00:41:40.920 from a woman
00:41:41.660 and what
00:41:42.760 are you not,
00:41:43.580 you know?
00:41:45.020 It's deciding
00:41:46.340 you're not
00:41:46.660 going to sell
00:41:47.060 your soul
00:41:47.620 for pussy.
00:41:48.200 You know,
00:41:49.540 that's exactly
00:41:50.440 it.
00:41:50.960 I told my
00:41:54.360 ex-girlfriend
00:41:55.000 recently,
00:41:57.060 you know,
00:41:57.300 these are my
00:41:57.940 standards for
00:41:58.580 a relationship,
00:41:59.320 this is what
00:41:59.620 I expect.
00:42:00.760 This is what
00:42:01.160 I'm going to
00:42:01.520 provide,
00:42:02.280 but this is
00:42:02.620 also what I
00:42:03.060 expect out of
00:42:03.560 you.
00:42:04.640 And she
00:42:05.080 didn't like
00:42:05.400 those standards,
00:42:06.200 so I'm
00:42:07.100 now single.
00:42:09.080 Yeah,
00:42:09.500 you know,
00:42:09.780 I mean,
00:42:10.060 like,
00:42:11.980 like,
00:42:12.240 I have basic
00:42:12.800 standards for
00:42:13.540 what I want
00:42:13.900 in a woman.
00:42:15.200 And those
00:42:15.900 are my standards.
00:42:16.780 I think they're
00:42:17.260 quite reasonable.
00:42:18.740 And they're
00:42:20.300 the kind of
00:42:21.060 standards,
00:42:21.580 this is what
00:42:22.080 I can tolerate.
00:42:22.900 This is what
00:42:23.220 I,
00:42:23.500 you know,
00:42:24.240 I'm not going
00:42:24.880 to violate them
00:42:25.620 just to be
00:42:26.020 with somebody
00:42:26.700 because being
00:42:27.300 in a bad
00:42:27.840 relationship is
00:42:28.660 worse than
00:42:29.720 being alone.
00:42:31.440 You know,
00:42:31.780 I want somebody
00:42:32.720 with compatible
00:42:33.580 theological and
00:42:34.580 political views
00:42:35.240 of mine.
00:42:36.160 Not identical,
00:42:36.960 but compatible.
00:42:38.440 You know,
00:42:38.700 I'm not dating
00:42:39.200 a socialist
00:42:39.740 Wiccan.
00:42:41.080 No,
00:42:41.420 no,
00:42:41.740 but a woman's
00:42:43.960 political views
00:42:44.560 are not the
00:42:44.960 same as a man's.
00:42:46.380 Yeah,
00:42:46.540 that's why I
00:42:47.100 said compatible.
00:42:47.860 When a man
00:42:49.000 has political views,
00:42:50.120 it's a statement
00:42:50.580 of honor.
00:42:51.980 And I don't
00:42:52.460 need somebody
00:42:53.360 that thinks
00:42:53.780 exactly like me
00:42:54.680 because I'm
00:42:55.180 already here.
00:42:57.400 A woman
00:42:58.140 displays virtue
00:42:59.860 or lack of virtue.
00:43:00.960 A man displays
00:43:02.080 virtue by his
00:43:04.180 word and
00:43:05.800 whether or not
00:43:06.220 he follows
00:43:06.820 his word.
00:43:08.980 Women,
00:43:10.240 words are less
00:43:11.040 important.
00:43:11.620 It's actions
00:43:12.180 that are important.
00:43:13.840 A virtuous
00:43:14.420 woman will
00:43:15.340 act very
00:43:17.280 lovingly
00:43:17.940 even while
00:43:19.020 she votes
00:43:19.380 Democrats.
00:43:20.720 And there's
00:43:21.480 certain things
00:43:22.080 that are just
00:43:22.720 red flags to me.
00:43:23.640 Like,
00:43:23.840 I'm not dating
00:43:24.340 a single mom.
00:43:25.460 I'm not fucking
00:43:26.180 doing it.
00:43:27.380 You know,
00:43:28.300 because I think
00:43:29.460 single moms
00:43:30.380 are fucking
00:43:30.820 trash.
00:43:31.820 And I don't
00:43:32.800 mean the
00:43:33.200 divorcee or
00:43:34.000 the widow
00:43:34.440 or the widow.
00:43:36.080 I mean the
00:43:36.620 fucking dumb
00:43:37.260 single bitch
00:43:37.960 that got knocked
00:43:38.640 up and kept
00:43:39.220 the baby
00:43:39.700 and raised
00:43:40.640 it herself.
00:43:41.180 Didn't get it
00:43:41.660 to an adoption
00:43:42.260 agency or
00:43:42.880 nothing.
00:43:43.520 No,
00:43:43.880 just I'm going
00:43:44.260 to keep this
00:43:44.680 baby myself.
00:43:45.620 You're fucking
00:43:46.140 trash.
00:43:47.480 And I'm sure
00:43:48.260 there's exceptions
00:43:48.920 to it.
00:43:49.900 But that's a
00:43:50.740 giant red flag
00:43:51.800 to me.
00:43:52.260 That's a red
00:43:53.900 flag so big,
00:43:54.860 smaller red flags
00:43:55.880 orbit around it.
00:43:59.360 That you make
00:44:00.280 a lot of bad
00:44:00.920 decisions.
00:44:01.520 That you are a
00:44:02.040 poor judgment
00:44:02.700 and character.
00:44:03.580 And I want
00:44:04.000 no part of you.
00:44:05.520 Yeah,
00:44:05.900 my personal
00:44:06.560 standard is I
00:44:07.220 will not date
00:44:08.540 any divorcee.
00:44:10.360 Regardless of
00:44:11.000 whether or not
00:44:11.360 they're children.
00:44:13.300 Based on
00:44:13.920 personal experience.
00:44:15.760 I'm a lot less
00:44:16.900 likely to,
00:44:18.100 but I don't
00:44:18.640 know.
00:44:18.960 I mean,
00:44:19.260 it could,
00:44:19.860 you know,
00:44:20.220 it's impossible.
00:44:21.920 The guy was
00:44:22.540 just a shithead
00:44:23.460 and he ran
00:44:24.060 out on you.
00:44:25.140 I mean,
00:44:25.520 yeah,
00:44:25.800 you probably
00:44:26.200 should have
00:44:26.520 picked him
00:44:26.880 better,
00:44:27.400 but I'm
00:44:28.760 like 90%
00:44:29.840 certain I
00:44:30.400 wouldn't date
00:44:30.780 it.
00:44:31.000 Let me put it
00:44:31.880 that way.
00:44:32.640 I'm not
00:44:33.020 ruling it out.
00:44:34.280 But if you
00:44:34.620 got a little
00:44:35.060 fucking bastard,
00:44:36.660 you know,
00:44:38.080 I'll see you
00:44:38.680 in hell.
00:44:39.700 you know what?
00:44:42.060 I've never
00:44:42.400 been divorced.
00:44:44.760 And so,
00:44:46.720 to put it
00:44:49.100 bluntly,
00:44:50.100 yeah,
00:44:51.320 I've screwed
00:44:52.500 up a lot of
00:44:52.980 things,
00:44:53.320 but I never
00:44:53.640 screwed up
00:44:54.080 marriage.
00:44:56.080 You know,
00:44:56.560 I've screwed
00:44:56.920 up a lot of
00:44:57.360 things too,
00:44:57.800 but I've never
00:44:58.160 brought a little
00:44:59.280 bastard into the
00:45:00.040 world.
00:45:01.080 Because I know
00:45:01.940 they sell
00:45:02.300 condoms at the
00:45:03.020 store.
00:45:03.300 I mean,
00:45:05.820 I don't know
00:45:06.140 if this is
00:45:06.540 some sort
00:45:06.940 of grandiose
00:45:07.640 fucking secret
00:45:08.380 to my
00:45:08.740 generation,
00:45:09.420 but...
00:45:11.980 I mean,
00:45:12.300 the single
00:45:12.640 mothers wouldn't
00:45:13.080 be so bad
00:45:13.620 if they would
00:45:14.020 admit that
00:45:14.460 they made
00:45:14.720 a mistake,
00:45:15.660 but they
00:45:15.940 merit,
00:45:16.300 like,
00:45:17.080 a merit
00:45:17.740 badge.
00:45:18.180 Like it's
00:45:18.600 fucking pride.
00:45:20.760 It's their
00:45:21.320 fucking identity
00:45:22.060 with a lot of
00:45:22.600 of them.
00:45:23.080 It's their
00:45:23.420 fucking identity.
00:45:24.940 If I met
00:45:25.500 a single
00:45:25.840 mother that
00:45:26.460 said,
00:45:27.000 I screwed
00:45:27.960 up,
00:45:29.060 I shouldn't
00:45:29.840 have gotten
00:45:30.360 pregnant,
00:45:31.100 but I would
00:45:32.260 not have an
00:45:32.720 abortion,
00:45:33.640 and I could
00:45:34.120 not give my
00:45:34.680 baby up,
00:45:36.060 and I know
00:45:37.500 that I am
00:45:38.000 not,
00:45:39.020 like,
00:45:39.300 I know I'm
00:45:39.980 a failure,
00:45:42.040 but I'm
00:45:42.380 trying to make
00:45:42.820 the best,
00:45:43.140 that's a whole
00:45:43.960 different step.
00:45:44.680 Good luck
00:45:45.060 finding that,
00:45:45.600 though.
00:45:47.020 And here's
00:45:47.700 where I have,
00:45:48.360 where I,
00:45:48.920 I said I have
00:45:51.720 slight
00:45:52.040 neoreactionary
00:45:53.500 meanings.
00:45:53.780 Yes,
00:45:54.420 I'm very
00:45:54.820 libertarian,
00:45:56.000 and,
00:45:56.360 you know,
00:45:57.240 but there's
00:45:58.220 a difference
00:45:58.660 between the
00:45:59.360 government and
00:46:00.080 society,
00:46:01.200 the government
00:46:01.640 and culture.
00:46:02.940 I probably
00:46:04.140 want a,
00:46:05.860 I would want
00:46:06.780 to see a
00:46:07.380 culture that's
00:46:08.080 very similar
00:46:08.960 to what a
00:46:09.520 lot of the
00:46:09.860 neoreactionaries
00:46:10.680 do.
00:46:11.720 I just don't
00:46:12.500 think it's
00:46:13.100 government's
00:46:13.680 role to
00:46:14.120 enforce that,
00:46:15.400 in most
00:46:15.900 cases.
00:46:16.840 Well,
00:46:17.100 could I
00:46:17.700 introduce
00:46:18.020 another,
00:46:20.300 this is
00:46:20.580 something that
00:46:20.940 really just
00:46:21.780 drives me up
00:46:23.000 for one,
00:46:23.780 world
00:46:26.060 building.
00:46:28.940 I mean,
00:46:29.640 about five
00:46:30.460 years ago,
00:46:32.180 I was very
00:46:32.640 fascinated with
00:46:33.460 the whole,
00:46:34.560 basically,
00:46:36.500 when I went
00:46:36.980 through my
00:46:37.400 whole red
00:46:37.880 pill
00:46:38.060 transformation,
00:46:39.800 when I
00:46:40.460 realized how
00:46:41.620 treacherous
00:46:43.320 government was,
00:46:44.620 like,
00:46:44.740 I served as a
00:46:45.860 public servant
00:46:46.360 for seven years,
00:46:47.080 and then got
00:46:50.020 stabbed in the
00:46:50.860 back by the
00:46:52.800 very system
00:46:53.640 that was
00:46:53.960 supposed to
00:46:54.300 be just.
00:46:57.820 We're not
00:46:58.320 talking about
00:46:58.620 a speeding
00:46:58.880 ticket,
00:46:59.320 we're talking
00:46:59.620 $10,000 to
00:47:00.600 prove that I
00:47:01.060 was innocent
00:47:01.700 when I was
00:47:03.000 obviously
00:47:03.500 innocent because
00:47:04.220 of bullshit
00:47:04.640 bureaucracy.
00:47:05.240 So after
00:47:08.580 that,
00:47:08.940 I went
00:47:09.540 through an
00:47:09.820 anarcho-capitalist
00:47:10.660 phase,
00:47:11.400 where I
00:47:12.900 was so,
00:47:14.060 I felt so
00:47:15.060 betrayed by
00:47:15.840 the government
00:47:16.340 that I'd
00:47:16.860 risked my
00:47:17.660 life for,
00:47:19.020 that I
00:47:20.400 couldn't trust
00:47:20.880 anything.
00:47:21.200 But,
00:47:29.020 the problem
00:47:32.080 with the
00:47:32.320 anarcho-capitalists,
00:47:34.860 and the
00:47:35.240 problem with
00:47:35.740 the
00:47:36.940 neo-reactionary
00:47:37.740 movement,
00:47:39.100 and the
00:47:39.400 problem with
00:47:39.740 so many of
00:47:40.480 these jerk-off
00:47:43.060 groups on the
00:47:43.620 internet,
00:47:45.920 is that they're
00:47:46.740 engaged in
00:47:47.180 world-building.
00:47:50.020 Now,
00:47:50.580 you've played
00:47:51.940 Dungeons &
00:47:52.360 Dragons,
00:47:53.400 right?
00:47:54.420 Mm-hmm.
00:47:56.600 And world-building
00:47:57.640 in Dungeons &
00:47:58.980 Dragons is so
00:48:00.100 much fun.
00:48:02.800 When you
00:48:03.580 imagine,
00:48:03.800 you imagine
00:48:05.540 a new history,
00:48:07.240 and you
00:48:07.480 imagine new,
00:48:10.000 like,
00:48:10.340 bloody hell,
00:48:11.420 like, you've
00:48:11.920 read Broken
00:48:12.360 Roads,
00:48:12.860 it's world-building.
00:48:14.140 I'm imagining
00:48:15.000 a world where
00:48:17.140 basically my
00:48:18.960 protagonist gets
00:48:20.200 to be a
00:48:20.520 cowboy with
00:48:21.720 an M-16.
00:48:24.340 I gotta geek
00:48:25.240 out for a
00:48:25.760 second.
00:48:26.680 When I used
00:48:27.520 to do
00:48:27.800 Dungeons &
00:48:28.300 Dragons,
00:48:29.020 I actually
00:48:29.660 took,
00:48:30.020 and I
00:48:30.220 called them
00:48:30.560 different things,
00:48:31.260 but I had a
00:48:31.740 version of
00:48:32.180 Christianity and
00:48:33.040 a version of
00:48:33.560 Islam in that
00:48:34.240 world.
00:48:35.900 And,
00:48:36.400 like,
00:48:37.660 I had your
00:48:38.140 typical kingdoms
00:48:39.040 based mostly
00:48:39.700 off race,
00:48:40.620 but I had a
00:48:41.240 kingdom base
00:48:41.940 that was like a
00:48:42.820 Christian-style
00:48:43.540 theocracy and
00:48:44.300 one that was a
00:48:44.820 Muslim-style
00:48:45.320 theocracy,
00:48:45.840 and I
00:48:46.840 had a
00:48:47.180 republic
00:48:47.680 based loosely
00:48:48.960 on America
00:48:49.640 that I
00:48:51.740 argued,
00:48:52.500 like,
00:48:52.780 was so
00:48:53.600 ridiculously
00:48:54.800 diverse,
00:48:56.200 you know,
00:48:56.620 racially and
00:48:57.240 ethnically and
00:48:58.120 culturally,
00:48:58.660 that literally the
00:48:59.720 only thing that
00:49:00.340 held it together
00:49:01.040 was it was more
00:49:01.920 of a trade
00:49:02.560 syndicate than
00:49:03.260 anything else.
00:49:04.240 Like,
00:49:04.480 everybody went
00:49:05.120 there to do
00:49:05.580 business because
00:49:08.080 they were the
00:49:08.600 prosperous
00:49:09.040 people.
00:49:09.580 but if
00:49:11.960 prosperity would
00:49:13.060 disappear,
00:49:13.640 this thing
00:49:14.000 would rip
00:49:14.460 itself apart.
00:49:18.420 And it's
00:49:19.260 fun,
00:49:22.020 world-building.
00:49:22.600 Yeah.
00:49:25.020 It's not
00:49:25.780 productive.
00:49:26.660 I mean,
00:49:27.260 if you're
00:49:27.840 world-building
00:49:28.440 to tell a
00:49:29.500 story,
00:49:30.160 to explore
00:49:30.860 concepts,
00:49:32.400 it's wonderful,
00:49:34.100 but there are
00:49:34.580 so many people
00:49:35.140 that are
00:49:35.400 world-building
00:49:36.160 to
00:49:37.960 pushing it
00:49:40.360 to do
00:49:41.680 their thing,
00:49:43.200 to,
00:49:46.500 I mean,
00:49:46.880 the anarcho-capitalists
00:49:47.820 are really the
00:49:48.260 worst.
00:49:51.300 No,
00:49:51.880 I'm not going
00:49:52.180 to say that.
00:49:53.100 Listen,
00:49:54.080 anarcho-capitalist
00:49:54.820 theory is worth
00:49:55.920 studying.
00:49:57.400 It is really
00:49:58.400 worth investigating
00:49:59.380 and studying if
00:50:00.260 you're remotely
00:50:00.740 interested in
00:50:01.260 economics.
00:50:02.240 There's a lot of
00:50:02.820 brilliant work
00:50:03.380 there.
00:50:04.860 But at the end
00:50:05.380 of the day,
00:50:06.220 you have a bunch
00:50:06.780 of people
00:50:07.260 pontificating
00:50:08.880 about how
00:50:09.400 we could
00:50:09.740 have the
00:50:10.180 internet
00:50:10.500 and how
00:50:10.840 we could
00:50:11.080 have highways
00:50:11.700 in an
00:50:12.660 anarcho-capitalist
00:50:13.940 state.
00:50:16.060 Okay,
00:50:16.600 how do we
00:50:16.960 get there?
00:50:20.980 You're not
00:50:21.700 imagining an
00:50:22.680 anarcho-capitalist
00:50:23.400 state on
00:50:24.500 Mars when
00:50:25.380 20 scientists
00:50:26.240 land there.
00:50:27.400 You're imagining
00:50:28.300 trying to turn
00:50:29.180 the United
00:50:29.680 States into
00:50:31.300 an anarcho-capitalist
00:50:32.380 society.
00:50:32.900 Yeah,
00:50:36.040 that's the
00:50:36.320 thing with
00:50:36.620 the
00:50:36.740 neo-reactionaries.
00:50:37.700 So many
00:50:38.120 of them
00:50:38.400 are like,
00:50:39.140 well,
00:50:39.540 if we had
00:50:39.960 this just
00:50:41.120 patriarchal
00:50:42.120 king,
00:50:43.100 and I'm
00:50:43.440 like,
00:50:43.720 yeah,
00:50:43.920 but who
00:50:44.500 picks that
00:50:45.120 guy and
00:50:45.560 then how
00:50:45.900 does he
00:50:46.200 get in
00:50:46.480 charge?
00:50:46.860 where the
00:50:49.380 real point
00:50:50.500 of
00:50:52.060 neo-reactionary
00:50:54.420 political theory
00:50:55.160 is supposed
00:50:56.020 to be that
00:50:56.600 power and
00:50:57.800 responsibility
00:50:58.400 need to be
00:50:59.060 wedded.
00:51:00.260 The problem
00:51:01.080 is right now
00:51:01.780 is that
00:51:02.320 power and
00:51:03.340 responsibility
00:51:03.900 are completely
00:51:05.000 separate,
00:51:06.760 completely
00:51:07.260 riven apart.
00:51:13.560 Like,
00:51:14.180 we're not
00:51:14.560 going to have
00:51:14.840 a king of
00:51:15.220 America
00:51:15.660 Oh,
00:51:18.780 we sort
00:51:19.120 of do,
00:51:19.720 Obama.
00:51:22.240 That's what
00:51:22.740 I mean.
00:51:23.180 I mean,
00:51:23.520 right now,
00:51:24.300 what do you
00:51:24.580 got?
00:51:24.860 You got a
00:51:25.320 ridiculously
00:51:26.040 powerful
00:51:26.540 executive
00:51:27.240 office,
00:51:27.860 and it's
00:51:28.420 been building
00:51:28.860 up before
00:51:29.460 him,
00:51:30.060 but who
00:51:30.440 just fucking
00:51:31.140 decides he
00:51:32.680 can write
00:51:33.060 law with
00:51:33.580 the stroke
00:51:33.900 of a pen.
00:51:35.380 But he
00:51:35.680 has no
00:51:35.960 responsibility.
00:51:37.900 Well,
00:51:38.100 yeah,
00:51:38.340 because he's
00:51:39.000 out of
00:51:39.320 office and
00:51:39.780 doesn't have
00:51:40.100 to deal
00:51:40.420 with the
00:51:40.660 long,
00:51:40.940 he doesn't
00:51:41.240 have to
00:51:41.560 do it
00:51:41.800 for life.
00:51:43.260 But at
00:51:43.580 the same
00:51:43.880 token,
00:51:44.360 I mean,
00:51:44.560 we truly
00:51:48.480 have the
00:51:48.820 worst of
00:51:49.240 both situations
00:51:49.960 here.
00:51:50.180 We have
00:51:50.380 someone with
00:51:50.760 the power
00:51:51.180 of a king
00:51:51.640 who gets
00:51:51.960 to leave
00:51:52.440 at the end
00:51:53.040 of his
00:51:53.280 term.
00:51:54.580 At least
00:51:54.980 the king
00:51:55.380 has to worry
00:51:56.000 about if
00:51:56.400 things go
00:51:56.800 really bad,
00:51:57.460 maybe they'll
00:51:57.820 drag my
00:51:58.280 ass to the
00:51:58.740 guillotine.
00:51:59.160 And I
00:52:01.380 mean,
00:52:01.560 listen,
00:52:01.880 if you
00:52:02.120 want,
00:52:02.520 if you
00:52:03.820 just want
00:52:04.200 a moral
00:52:04.540 escape,
00:52:06.260 you know,
00:52:06.440 like,
00:52:06.600 if you're
00:52:07.020 an anarcho
00:52:07.480 capitalist,
00:52:08.700 that's a
00:52:09.100 moral escape.
00:52:11.500 You know,
00:52:11.800 you don't
00:52:12.180 vote,
00:52:12.880 and you
00:52:13.200 only pay
00:52:13.560 the traffic
00:52:14.020 fines because
00:52:14.560 they'll
00:52:14.740 shoot you
00:52:15.100 if you
00:52:15.780 don't.
00:52:17.720 You know,
00:52:18.040 as a
00:52:18.360 Canadian,
00:52:18.840 it's like,
00:52:19.160 well,
00:52:19.280 I'm a
00:52:19.500 neo-reactionary
00:52:20.100 monarchist,
00:52:20.680 so even
00:52:22.200 though the
00:52:22.460 monarchy is
00:52:22.860 making no
00:52:23.620 goals to
00:52:25.200 retake the
00:52:25.660 country,
00:52:25.980 I'm just
00:52:26.200 going to
00:52:26.360 support that
00:52:27.040 pipe dream,
00:52:28.140 because that
00:52:30.380 way I don't
00:52:30.820 have to
00:52:31.140 fight in
00:52:31.440 the real
00:52:31.680 world.
00:52:36.100 That's
00:52:36.540 fine until
00:52:37.040 you start
00:52:37.420 twisting the
00:52:39.220 whole concept
00:52:40.240 into a
00:52:43.240 popularity
00:52:47.540 club.
00:52:51.040 And,
00:52:51.560 you know,
00:52:52.020 speaking of
00:52:52.460 anarcho
00:52:52.780 capitalists,
00:52:54.160 I've got to
00:52:54.640 mention a
00:52:55.040 guy that's
00:52:55.460 doing a
00:52:55.780 lot of
00:52:56.000 good in
00:52:56.280 the world.
00:52:57.160 Are you
00:52:57.460 familiar with
00:52:58.080 Christopher
00:52:58.620 Cantwell?
00:53:03.400 I'm not,
00:53:04.240 actually.
00:53:06.400 A great
00:53:06.940 dude,
00:53:07.740 has an
00:53:08.080 excellent
00:53:08.340 YouTube,
00:53:09.140 podcast,
00:53:09.860 etc.
00:53:10.960 Anarcho
00:53:11.500 Cap,
00:53:12.340 who regularly
00:53:13.380 shows up
00:53:14.280 at the
00:53:15.140 legislature
00:53:15.720 in
00:53:16.520 Manchester,
00:53:18.920 New
00:53:19.060 Hampshire,
00:53:19.880 to get
00:53:22.020 laws passed
00:53:22.760 increasing
00:53:23.380 freedom.
00:53:25.860 By his
00:53:26.680 personal
00:53:27.200 philosophy,
00:53:27.780 he's a
00:53:28.180 anarcho
00:53:28.440 capitalist.
00:53:30.200 In the
00:53:30.880 real world,
00:53:32.400 he is
00:53:32.760 advancing the
00:53:33.660 libertarian
00:53:34.320 cause.
00:53:36.440 You know,
00:53:37.080 a lot of
00:53:37.400 people in the
00:53:37.880 manosphere,
00:53:38.600 an alternative
00:53:39.820 right now,
00:53:40.460 and they're
00:53:40.600 like,
00:53:40.920 don't vote.
00:53:42.380 Don't ever
00:53:42.900 vote, right?
00:53:44.240 And I get
00:53:45.200 where they're
00:53:45.480 coming from
00:53:45.940 that,
00:53:46.940 and I've
00:53:47.440 often taken
00:53:47.980 it to say,
00:53:48.520 like,
00:53:49.480 I vote,
00:53:50.480 I just,
00:53:51.160 I don't
00:53:51.480 ever get
00:53:51.800 my hopes
00:53:52.220 up about
00:53:52.620 it.
00:53:54.640 You know
00:53:55.080 what I
00:53:55.220 mean?
00:53:55.480 I figure
00:53:57.140 out who
00:53:57.640 best reflects
00:53:58.360 my values
00:53:59.060 if indeed
00:54:00.820 such a
00:54:01.260 person is
00:54:01.840 remote,
00:54:02.620 you know,
00:54:02.860 I mean,
00:54:03.420 if there's
00:54:04.440 no one to
00:54:04.920 vote for,
00:54:05.520 I don't.
00:54:07.200 But if I'm
00:54:08.400 like,
00:54:08.700 that person
00:54:09.300 would definitely
00:54:09.860 be better
00:54:10.420 than that
00:54:10.880 person,
00:54:11.520 I go and
00:54:12.240 I vote.
00:54:13.280 But I'm
00:54:13.760 not gonna,
00:54:14.720 I'm not gonna
00:54:15.280 sit here and
00:54:15.740 be like,
00:54:16.100 that person
00:54:16.660 is the
00:54:17.020 savior.
00:54:18.080 You know,
00:54:18.380 that person
00:54:18.980 will fix
00:54:19.420 everything.
00:54:20.940 It's more
00:54:21.520 just,
00:54:21.880 like,
00:54:22.040 I do what
00:54:22.360 I can.
00:54:23.640 I have
00:54:24.260 this minuscule
00:54:25.100 amount of
00:54:25.480 power,
00:54:25.820 and yeah,
00:54:26.060 it doesn't
00:54:26.320 really mean
00:54:26.800 jack shit,
00:54:27.800 and odds
00:54:28.300 are,
00:54:28.780 you know,
00:54:29.100 if anybody
00:54:30.060 who could
00:54:30.620 really fix
00:54:31.280 shit got
00:54:31.800 on the
00:54:32.100 ballot,
00:54:32.500 they'd
00:54:32.820 throw my
00:54:33.540 votes away.
00:54:35.500 I'm still
00:54:36.140 convinced in,
00:54:37.220 you know,
00:54:37.740 the 2012
00:54:38.300 primary,
00:54:38.960 a lot of
00:54:39.240 Ron Paul
00:54:39.660 votes went
00:54:40.160 in the
00:54:40.340 trash.
00:54:42.040 Hmm.
00:54:42.700 But still,
00:54:44.740 I go out
00:54:45.120 and I,
00:54:45.440 you know,
00:54:45.640 it's a few
00:54:46.180 minutes out
00:54:46.660 of my
00:54:46.900 day,
00:54:47.280 you know,
00:54:47.600 I've,
00:54:48.560 there you
00:54:48.900 go.
00:54:50.300 You can't
00:54:51.000 say I
00:54:51.240 didn't do
00:54:51.640 it.
00:54:53.060 Well,
00:54:53.640 John C.
00:54:54.020 Wright pointed
00:54:54.400 out that
00:54:54.960 as a
00:54:58.680 Christian,
00:54:59.060 you're
00:54:59.220 commanded
00:54:59.540 to hope,
00:55:00.840 and
00:55:01.920 refusing
00:55:03.340 to vote
00:55:03.960 is giving
00:55:06.780 up on
00:55:07.140 hope.
00:55:08.880 Yeah,
00:55:09.340 I,
00:55:09.680 in fact,
00:55:10.420 this past
00:55:11.320 election in,
00:55:12.180 2014 was
00:55:14.300 the first
00:55:14.760 election of
00:55:15.160 my adult
00:55:15.520 life,
00:55:15.800 I didn't
00:55:16.140 vote.
00:55:17.100 And the
00:55:17.280 reason I
00:55:17.600 didn't vote
00:55:18.040 was I
00:55:19.420 had,
00:55:19.920 I had two
00:55:21.980 choices between
00:55:22.900 governor in
00:55:23.860 my state that
00:55:24.520 was,
00:55:25.000 both were
00:55:25.660 absolutely
00:55:26.060 atrocious.
00:55:27.360 It was,
00:55:27.800 you know,
00:55:28.040 which dog turd
00:55:29.000 would you rather
00:55:29.440 put in your
00:55:29.920 mouth?
00:55:31.780 Um,
00:55:33.240 the,
00:55:33.560 the guy
00:55:34.100 running for
00:55:34.860 my Congress,
00:55:36.520 Joe Pitts,
00:55:37.560 I kind of like
00:55:38.480 him,
00:55:38.700 but he was in
00:55:39.100 no danger of
00:55:40.100 losing.
00:55:40.420 And then my
00:55:41.380 local state,
00:55:42.540 my local
00:55:43.100 legislator,
00:55:43.780 my state
00:55:44.320 legislator,
00:55:45.320 he was running
00:55:46.000 unopposed.
00:55:46.880 And that's
00:55:47.520 fucking insulting.
00:55:49.020 I feel like I'm
00:55:49.800 voting in North
00:55:50.500 Korea when I'm
00:55:51.460 voting for
00:55:51.800 somebody who's
00:55:52.160 running unopposed.
00:55:54.920 If I'd have
00:55:55.560 known that,
00:55:56.100 I'd have fucking
00:55:56.540 thrown,
00:55:57.140 I'd have told
00:55:57.660 like nine of my
00:55:58.380 friends to
00:55:58.840 write me in.
00:56:01.380 Maybe I'd have
00:56:02.060 won because no
00:56:02.680 one would have
00:56:03.040 voted for the
00:56:03.560 unopposed guy.
00:56:04.300 but I,
00:56:07.940 I didn't,
00:56:08.900 I didn't bother,
00:56:09.660 you know,
00:56:10.000 leaving the
00:56:10.640 House that
00:56:11.040 evening for
00:56:11.560 it.
00:56:11.740 And I was
00:56:11.980 just like,
00:56:12.320 you know,
00:56:12.640 that's a
00:56:13.200 fucking waste.
00:56:15.880 But yeah,
00:56:16.560 when the
00:56:16.880 presidential
00:56:17.400 election comes
00:56:18.820 along,
00:56:19.700 you know,
00:56:20.220 I'll vote,
00:56:21.640 you know,
00:56:21.980 and if it's a
00:56:22.660 fucking Bush
00:56:23.760 versus Hillary,
00:56:24.720 I'll fucking,
00:56:25.860 I don't know,
00:56:26.380 write my own
00:56:26.920 name in at a
00:56:27.640 protest,
00:56:28.240 but I'll
00:56:28.500 at least take
00:56:28.960 a minute to
00:56:29.440 protest.
00:56:29.940 I still
00:56:30.520 think you
00:56:30.820 should vote
00:56:31.220 Hillary.
00:56:32.660 And I,
00:56:33.100 I know
00:56:33.420 Bernard Tabin's
00:56:34.240 really angry
00:56:34.840 at me for
00:56:35.280 this,
00:56:35.960 but if the
00:56:37.440 Republicans have
00:56:38.380 the chutzpah
00:56:39.040 to put Bush
00:56:41.340 on that ballot,
00:56:43.980 Bush is going
00:56:45.000 to destroy the
00:56:45.480 country too,
00:56:46.040 just not as
00:56:46.420 quickly.
00:56:47.320 Vote Hillary.
00:56:48.560 At least she
00:56:49.040 destroys it
00:56:49.620 quickly enough
00:56:50.180 that people
00:56:50.520 might wake up.
00:56:52.940 But,
00:56:53.820 you know what,
00:56:54.820 listen,
00:56:55.040 this is not
00:56:55.620 about a
00:56:56.920 one-size-all.
00:56:57.800 It's one-size,
00:56:59.440 one-size-fits-all
00:57:00.480 solution.
00:57:03.520 It's about
00:57:04.120 doing something.
00:57:07.000 Doing something
00:57:07.660 in your
00:57:07.940 individual life.
00:57:09.180 Your individual
00:57:09.800 life matters.
00:57:15.760 And,
00:57:16.040 you know,
00:57:16.660 how many people
00:57:20.660 were cynical
00:57:21.080 about Obama?
00:57:23.120 You know what,
00:57:23.740 if that,
00:57:24.780 if 20% of the
00:57:25.900 population that
00:57:26.940 was too cynical
00:57:27.620 to vote,
00:57:28.700 but that knew
00:57:29.200 that Obama
00:57:30.280 was a slime
00:57:31.480 ball,
00:57:32.760 if they
00:57:33.680 voted for
00:57:34.640 Romney,
00:57:35.680 who was also
00:57:36.340 a slime
00:57:36.860 ball,
00:57:37.780 that would
00:57:39.240 have started
00:57:39.580 moving things
00:57:40.260 in the right
00:57:40.680 direction.
00:57:46.360 And you know
00:57:47.140 what,
00:57:47.500 maybe the
00:57:48.420 system is
00:57:48.980 rigged,
00:57:49.300 and maybe
00:57:49.620 your vote
00:57:50.040 goes right
00:57:50.440 in the
00:57:50.640 fucking
00:57:50.840 trash.
00:57:52.680 But at
00:57:53.280 least you
00:57:53.600 did it.
00:57:55.440 You know,
00:57:55.680 when I
00:57:58.040 stand before
00:57:58.640 my maker,
00:57:59.280 I don't
00:57:59.480 have to
00:57:59.800 give an
00:58:00.060 account for
00:58:00.600 how the
00:58:00.880 whole fucking
00:58:01.340 system was
00:58:01.980 run.
00:58:02.900 I just
00:58:03.360 have to
00:58:03.680 give an
00:58:03.940 account for
00:58:04.460 whether,
00:58:04.880 you know,
00:58:06.660 whether I
00:58:08.200 was a good
00:58:08.720 little cog in it.
00:58:11.240 Damn straight.
00:58:12.420 You know,
00:58:13.460 it didn't run
00:58:14.540 off the rails
00:58:15.180 because of
00:58:15.580 me.
00:58:16.700 You did
00:58:17.060 what you
00:58:17.360 could.
00:58:20.500 I can't
00:58:21.300 remember who
00:58:21.820 it was,
00:58:22.260 but there was
00:58:22.640 an actor who
00:58:23.300 once talked
00:58:23.780 about how
00:58:24.200 like,
00:58:24.820 even though
00:58:25.160 he's been
00:58:25.480 in like,
00:58:25.880 all kinds of
00:58:26.380 shitty movies,
00:58:27.020 he always
00:58:27.360 gives it his
00:58:27.880 all.
00:58:28.500 Because he's
00:58:28.880 like,
00:58:29.100 I always
00:58:29.500 want to,
00:58:29.840 at the end
00:58:30.160 of the day,
00:58:30.560 be able to
00:58:30.940 say,
00:58:31.240 at least
00:58:31.580 this movie
00:58:32.060 didn't suck
00:58:32.580 because of
00:58:33.040 me.
00:58:33.260 That's
00:58:37.300 such a
00:58:37.560 great piece
00:58:37.980 of advice.
00:58:41.160 The one
00:58:41.720 it reminds
00:58:42.100 me of,
00:58:42.940 it's a
00:58:43.300 line from
00:58:43.920 Player of
00:58:46.000 Games by
00:58:46.760 Ian M.
00:58:47.200 Banks.
00:58:48.600 Basically,
00:58:49.480 a sci-fi
00:58:52.140 chess master
00:58:53.100 is going
00:58:55.540 up against
00:58:55.980 a young
00:58:56.340 prodigy
00:58:56.960 that he's
00:58:57.700 afraid he's
00:58:58.280 going to
00:58:58.560 lose to
00:58:59.020 after he's
00:59:00.340 been famous
00:59:00.900 for being
00:59:01.400 a sci-fi
00:59:03.120 chess master.
00:59:03.260 chess,
00:59:03.620 some other
00:59:04.000 meet-up
00:59:04.580 games.
00:59:06.760 He cheats
00:59:07.820 to beat
00:59:08.660 her in
00:59:08.960 the game.
00:59:11.120 And when
00:59:11.760 he does
00:59:12.040 that,
00:59:13.000 there is
00:59:13.420 no glory
00:59:15.160 in the
00:59:15.860 victory.
00:59:18.340 Because
00:59:18.860 he's just
00:59:19.580 an old
00:59:20.140 cheat.
00:59:21.480 And even
00:59:21.940 if he
00:59:22.580 would have
00:59:22.860 beat her,
00:59:24.820 now she's
00:59:26.040 the prodigy
00:59:26.760 that will
00:59:27.120 beat him
00:59:27.480 eventually.
00:59:28.680 And she
00:59:29.040 never has
00:59:29.560 to cheat.
00:59:30.320 He's just
00:59:30.780 an old
00:59:31.300 cheat.
00:59:31.760 Do you
00:59:36.560 want to
00:59:36.740 be an
00:59:36.940 old
00:59:37.180 cheat
00:59:37.640 when you
00:59:37.940 grow up?
00:59:40.140 When
00:59:40.520 you're
00:59:40.700 old?
00:59:42.080 When
00:59:42.280 you've
00:59:42.420 got
00:59:42.540 nothing
00:59:42.760 but
00:59:42.920 memories?
00:59:43.400 Or do
00:59:43.520 you want
00:59:43.760 to be a
00:59:45.560 guy that
00:59:45.880 stood for
00:59:46.360 something even
00:59:46.940 if it didn't
00:59:47.300 work out?
00:59:49.880 Yeah.
00:59:50.800 You know,
00:59:51.380 die on
00:59:52.740 your feet.
00:59:53.200 to wrap
01:00:01.820 it back to
01:00:03.480 the
01:00:03.760 neo-reactionary
01:00:04.740 thing.
01:00:09.080 Listen,
01:00:09.640 guys.
01:00:13.660 Moldbuck
01:00:14.020 is not
01:00:14.300 a plan,
01:00:16.160 okay?
01:00:16.460 Like,
01:00:16.620 if you
01:00:16.800 want a
01:00:17.120 political
01:00:18.020 plan,
01:00:18.940 go check
01:00:19.440 out the
01:00:19.700 Rules for
01:00:20.120 Radicals
01:00:20.600 by Alinsky,
01:00:21.320 okay?
01:00:21.520 that's a
01:00:21.880 political
01:00:22.140 plan.
01:00:23.420 Yeah,
01:00:23.620 virtue is
01:00:24.460 not a
01:00:25.580 political
01:00:25.960 plan.
01:00:27.020 Truth is
01:00:27.440 not a
01:00:27.700 political
01:00:27.960 plan.
01:00:28.640 Truth is
01:00:29.020 a way of
01:00:29.360 living your
01:00:29.840 life.
01:00:33.320 Be better
01:00:33.980 people.
01:00:35.280 Write about
01:00:35.680 how we
01:00:36.840 can be
01:00:37.080 better
01:00:37.240 people.
01:00:38.340 Write about
01:00:38.800 how,
01:00:39.460 you know,
01:00:41.000 we can
01:00:41.440 get the
01:00:42.100 Second
01:00:42.320 Amendment
01:00:42.840 respected.
01:00:44.100 Write to
01:00:44.520 defend the
01:00:44.920 First
01:00:45.140 Amendment.
01:00:47.420 Make the
01:00:47.800 world a
01:00:48.040 better plan.
01:00:48.320 Like,
01:00:48.480 we're not
01:00:48.720 going to
01:00:48.940 save the
01:00:49.400 world.
01:00:49.660 that's
01:00:50.280 not,
01:00:51.240 listen,
01:00:52.800 we are,
01:00:53.540 Jesus
01:00:53.880 already came
01:00:54.380 to Earth,
01:00:54.800 all right?
01:00:55.020 He already
01:00:55.280 saved the
01:00:55.720 world.
01:00:55.960 It's not
01:00:56.180 our job.
01:00:59.320 Try and
01:00:59.820 make the
01:01:00.040 world a
01:01:00.280 better place.
01:01:00.980 Don't,
01:01:01.240 don't attack
01:01:03.960 your fellow
01:01:04.340 travelers just
01:01:05.180 because they're
01:01:05.560 a little bit
01:01:05.880 off course.
01:01:15.240 Quit,
01:01:15.640 quit jerking
01:01:16.480 off.
01:01:16.860 Yeah.
01:01:18.980 I mean,
01:01:19.660 it's easy
01:01:20.320 to imagine
01:01:20.960 the perfect
01:01:21.480 state in
01:01:21.880 your head,
01:01:22.400 but actually
01:01:24.180 trying,
01:01:24.680 like,
01:01:25.040 yeah,
01:01:26.780 trying to
01:01:27.420 do anything
01:01:27.880 in the real
01:01:28.280 world is
01:01:28.760 impossible.
01:01:29.660 Nothing
01:01:29.840 should ever
01:01:30.220 happen.
01:01:30.620 It's so
01:01:30.840 hard.
01:01:35.600 Yeah,
01:01:36.100 that's what
01:01:36.460 social justice
01:01:37.260 warriors do.
01:01:37.980 They sit
01:01:38.280 around and
01:01:39.440 they jerk
01:01:39.920 off about
01:01:40.600 what,
01:01:40.860 you know,
01:01:41.760 the perfect
01:01:42.200 world where
01:01:42.800 everybody is
01:01:43.500 treated equally,
01:01:44.800 nobody's judged,
01:01:46.860 et cetera.
01:01:49.740 And they
01:01:50.220 try and use
01:01:50.760 threats and
01:01:51.500 violence to
01:01:52.180 force that.
01:01:54.220 And that's
01:01:54.900 a lot of
01:01:56.600 the meanness
01:01:57.560 I see coming
01:01:58.660 out of the
01:01:59.020 neo-reactionaries
01:01:59.840 is very,
01:02:00.420 very similar.
01:02:01.620 That you
01:02:02.220 don't live up
01:02:02.820 to our
01:02:03.340 proscribed
01:02:04.260 standard,
01:02:05.380 so we're
01:02:05.920 going to
01:02:06.120 bully you.
01:02:08.380 Well,
01:02:08.700 no,
01:02:09.040 if you've
01:02:09.500 got a
01:02:09.700 better standard,
01:02:10.460 then tell me
01:02:10.880 about it.
01:02:11.620 If you've
01:02:11.840 got a better
01:02:12.140 way to
01:02:12.420 live your
01:02:12.760 life,
01:02:13.080 you know,
01:02:15.460 if you've
01:02:15.860 got a more
01:02:17.580 successful way,
01:02:18.520 if you think
01:02:19.120 Rouch is
01:02:19.480 degenerate,
01:02:20.960 because he
01:02:21.620 pours about
01:02:22.900 too much,
01:02:24.240 then you
01:02:24.580 write a book
01:02:25.000 about being
01:02:26.480 better than
01:02:26.880 Rouch.
01:02:30.380 Is that
01:02:31.000 hard?
01:02:34.900 Yeah.
01:02:35.380 Yeah.
01:02:39.880 And don't
01:02:41.020 attack your
01:02:41.640 potential allies.
01:02:42.700 Don't.
01:02:44.960 I mean,
01:02:45.620 like I said,
01:02:46.240 do you want
01:02:46.520 to actually
01:02:46.840 do something?
01:02:48.880 I mean,
01:02:49.500 I'm not a
01:02:50.880 neo-reactionary,
01:02:52.080 but I would
01:02:53.600 take a neo-reactionary
01:02:55.040 paradise over
01:02:56.120 what we have.
01:02:58.040 You know,
01:02:58.280 I'm a libertarian,
01:02:59.380 but I'm not an
01:02:59.880 objectionist,
01:03:01.300 or whatever the
01:03:02.020 hell they call
01:03:02.460 that.
01:03:02.680 The Ayn Rand
01:03:03.280 fucking shit.
01:03:04.260 Objectivist.
01:03:05.300 Yeah,
01:03:05.560 I'm not,
01:03:06.060 you know,
01:03:07.560 I'm not those
01:03:08.200 guys,
01:03:08.760 but I'd sooner
01:03:10.040 vote for one
01:03:10.700 of them for
01:03:11.120 office than
01:03:11.820 Obama or
01:03:13.820 Bush or
01:03:14.300 Hillary.
01:03:22.260 Both
01:03:22.940 humility and
01:03:23.900 hope are
01:03:24.840 needed.
01:03:25.840 Humility that,
01:03:27.840 no,
01:03:28.200 none of us
01:03:28.600 have the
01:03:28.940 perfect solution
01:03:29.780 to fixing
01:03:30.660 society.
01:03:31.240 and hope
01:03:35.720 because we
01:03:37.600 need to do
01:03:37.980 what we can
01:03:38.640 to make the
01:03:39.080 world a better
01:03:39.460 place,
01:03:39.900 even if we
01:03:40.380 don't really
01:03:41.000 know how
01:03:41.580 to.
01:03:47.260 Yeah.
01:03:50.720 Well,
01:03:51.180 I think we
01:03:51.780 changed the
01:03:52.340 world for
01:03:52.680 a better,
01:03:53.880 for the better.
01:03:54.980 I think we
01:03:55.640 fixed all the
01:03:56.140 world's problems
01:03:56.680 tonight,
01:03:57.020 wouldn't you
01:03:57.260 agree?
01:03:58.300 Oh,
01:03:58.660 easily.
01:03:59.960 So just do
01:04:00.660 everything we
01:04:01.100 said,
01:04:01.460 folks,
01:04:01.860 and it'll
01:04:03.200 all work
01:04:03.540 out.

01:04:06.880 thoughts,
01:04:07.280 brother?
01:04:08.180 No,
01:04:08.780 that's about
01:04:09.340 it for me.
01:04:11.200 Yep.
01:04:12.520 Time for me
01:04:13.340 to drink
01:04:16.260 whiskey like a
01:04:16.940 civilized man.
01:04:18.120 Take care of
01:04:18.760 yourselves,
01:04:19.260 folks.

01:04:21.820 Decloth,
