00:00:00.000 So it's like, that is like the model now for white expats, right, is to move to El Salvador if you're like vaguely conservative and white or if you're a crypto bro or whatever.
00:00:11.460 Yeah.
00:00:11.740 You like crypto and fascism.
00:00:14.100 Yeah.
00:00:14.360 I mean, it's, I don't, but again, I just, it's one of these weird things where, you know, when you're talking to someone and they're, they're, they're really a kind of dishonest person and they, they use the gish gallop method, which is just like throwing a hundred different facts and half arguments at you to see what sticks. 0.82
00:00:38.640 And it's just dishonest. And because you can't like, when you address one, they've thrown like three more. And then it's just, it, it's totally unproductive. And at some level, you don't even know what they're arguing at some point.
00:00:54.120 It's just this like vomiting of facts and half-assed reasoning. He does this to this point where like, I listened to like close to 30 minutes of this interview and I have no earthly idea what he is saying.
00:01:12.440 Like, and he's, it's like, it's, is it the FBI that's after him? Is it, is it PragerU? They're, they're mad at him because he's criticized Zionism. Oh yeah. He's the first person to do that. Yeah. Congratulations. Is it the Israelis? Is it, I just, I'm just like, what are you talking about?
00:01:33.900 I, I just, he, I don't know. I say the narcissism in the sense of narcissism, not as just a personality quirk, but as a, as a true disorder, this like posting photos of being half nude. And I don't even know what to say.
00:01:53.840 I mean, at some point, this is just a little too much. This notion of self-importance, which I think feeds into persecution fantasies. Like, I mean, you are not, if this were 2005 and you were like strongly criticizing Zionism and you were getting canceled and people no longer talk to you at the faculty lounge or whatever, like that's the
00:02:23.820 Kevin MacDonald story. I can believe that. Now, Kevin MacDonald wasn't prosecuted by the state, the government, but he, he was, he was canceled. And I can believe that at this point in world history, circa 2026, all of this, just anti-Zionism, rad trad Christianity, a little bit of racism. This is like a dime a dozen at this point.
00:02:52.880 Like he and 500 other accounts are doing this all day. So the idea that he's like the one man willing to stand up to Benjamin Netanyahu is just bizarre to even suggest that.
00:03:09.460 Do you think that he's using, let's just say for instance, that the lawsuit is real. Do you think that he's sort of using it as ammunition or fuel to the fire of basically inflaming his paranoia?
00:03:19.880 Like, yeah, it might not be real. I mean, I, I, I don't know if anyone's checked on this because I just, I don't know if that lawsuit strikes me as ridiculous and unfounded and should be just tossed out of court.
00:03:36.500 So I wonder if this thing is real, like, would she actually do such a thing? I don't know. But like, Hash Patel wants to get rid of, I, I, I, Elijah Schaefer? Like, why?
00:03:49.500 Right. Yeah.
00:03:50.500 Right. Yeah. I just, I don't know. I just, I find him to, I, I do not know why anyone is defending this person.
00:03:59.700 The other thing I could have mentioned this. I mean, he's like a heavy drug user who's hallucinating on a live stream and he puts that out on Twitter and then deletes it. I mean, this guy is off his rocker. I mean, there's no other way to put it.
00:04:15.360 Like, that's why I think that there's something deeper going on. Like, all of this stuff are like the outer layer, the effects of some like bigger problem. Does he, are they investigating him over Russia?
00:04:32.060 Are, are, did, is he like in too deep with the Bukele people? Did, does he just owe like $2 million to some donor who's cracking down? There's something else there that we don't know, is what I would suggest. 0.92
00:04:52.060 Well, he was part of that.
00:04:52.940 Otherwise, I can't explain it.
00:04:54.420 What?
00:04:55.460 Wasn't he part of that tenant media, like fraud scheme?
00:04:59.440 He wasn't part of tenant media.
00:05:00.980 Oh, he wasn't. Okay.
00:05:02.060 No, I'm sorry.
00:05:02.560 He just seems like he would have been.
00:05:05.180 Yeah.
00:05:05.540 A regular guy, do you want to jump in?
00:05:07.660 Yeah, I don't seem to know a lot about him.
00:05:11.720 Here's what I think is happening.
00:05:13.220 I think basically the amount of people with personality disorders is extremely underestimated.
00:05:21.940 And this guy is showing traits of a paranoid personality disorder, which is, it's a bunch of stuff.
00:05:29.200 Unwarned suspicion, doubt of loyalty, hypersensitivity.
00:05:32.860 And that's something he has.
00:05:35.320 And people with paranoid personality disorder are the type of people that aren't going to realize, I have a problem.
00:05:43.280 Perhaps I should talk to a psychologist.
00:05:45.160 So the amount of people with this thing is underestimated.
00:05:49.820 Same goes with narcissism.
00:05:51.880 And I just think that our society is causing more people to have personality disorders than what the DSM experts say.
00:06:03.140 And if you're not born with it, ultimately, I just think you get it.
00:06:08.140 And I think that people that are attracted to dissident politics have some combination – not always paranoid personality disorders, but a personality disorder.
00:06:21.720 For example, a certain guy with a cowboy hat that leads rallies, he's probably a communal narcissist.
