00:00:00.000 Someone posted something from Fuentes on abortion fatigue.
00:00:05.540 This is sort of interesting.
00:00:07.140 Let's watch this.
00:00:07.940 We're just jumping around a little bit here.
00:00:13.280 I'll be the first one to say it.
00:00:15.020 I'm really tired of all the abortion talk.
00:00:17.400 I'm really fucking tired of it, to be perfectly honest with you.
00:00:22.580 It's not an issue I care that much about.
00:00:24.660 I'm against abortion in all cases.
00:00:26.840 I think it's evil.
00:00:28.340 I think it's like murder.
00:00:30.000 um in principle but this whole like you know we're we're radical abolitionist abortion
00:00:39.080 abolitionists it's like i'm radical like i want to save my race i'm radical i want to save white
00:00:45.160 people from being genocided i'm radical i want to save western civilization from being destroyed
00:00:51.360 and that's where i'm at you know to be honest with you having abortions gone up
00:01:00.500 they overturned roe versus wade and now there's more abortion than there was before
00:01:06.100 and it seems like more accessible than ever yes so i'm very cynical about that whole i'm very
00:01:13.780 cynical the people that run the anti-abortion thing it's like it's all women they're all feminists
00:01:18.780 and it's just something that somebody needs to say irish anon sent twenty dollars
00:01:23.460 uh yes there there was actually a study that i remember a year after the overturning of roe v
00:01:31.280 wade uh abortions had increased slightly they had gone down in places where it was illegal and gone
00:01:37.140 up in places where it was illegal where it was legal excuse me so um yes there is just something
00:01:44.140 sort of ridiculous about people like lila rose and so on they do treat abortion as ending slavery
00:01:55.160 and they or or ending the holocaust and thus they get on this sort of when you start talking like
00:02:03.700 this you get on this like left-wing track that you sort of can't get off of you know as i've said
00:02:12.320 before and i guess i'll just reiterate some of these comments the trad thing to do is to
00:02:20.720 get an abortion for your daughter who got knocked up by some cad you might have to take her to spain
00:02:28.240 um you do it quietly maybe it's illegal and done in the u.s but you just get it done because honor
00:02:39.520 is more important than a potential human life.
00:02:44.380 And I know that sounds a bit harsh,
00:02:49.220 but that is how traditional people acted throughout world history.
00:02:56.040 And that is the trad perspective.
00:02:59.560 Now, there was a time not too long ago,
00:03:03.260 not in my lifetime exactly,
00:03:05.080 but definitely in the lifetime of my parents
00:03:07.660 and certainly grandparents,
00:03:09.020 where if you were a single mother you were absolutely shunned i mean you might have to go
00:03:15.180 move to another town start over um put your child into an orphanage i mean this was a devastating
00:03:26.780 thing and um where we are now it's like with the pro-life movement i mean that that was in a more
00:03:35.840 conservative time when that sort of attitude persisted where we are now in the pro-life
00:03:40.980 movement is like single mothers are heroes and uh you know some you know there there was a an
00:03:50.880 abortion that failed and so some monstrous botched person is now alive and he's a hero because he
00:04:00.740 survived the gauntlet of the baby killers.
00:04:04.860 Like, we've reached this just weird state where the far right are not traditionalist
00:04:12.920 at all, and they also play the race card in this so many times.
00:04:18.500 You know, oh, there's been a genocide against African Americans once segregation went away.
00:04:25.340 We then did the abortion thing in order to keep African Americans down.
00:04:30.740 I mean, that type of reasoning you hear among pro-lifers all the time.
00:04:36.600 I remember hearing this Lila Rose thing where she was talking about in vitro fertilization,
00:04:45.220 where she was saying that there are all of these children trapped in test tubes or petri dishes in freezers.
00:04:54.780 So when you do IV, you might very well have fertilized a number of eggs, and they will freeze these.
00:05:00.300 you can use them later whatever what do you do with it it is sort of life i guess on some
00:05:06.800 primordial level and she's she's depicting this like we need to free all of these inseminated
00:05:14.980 eggs liberation now like break in there um start popping these fertilized eggs into women or maybe
00:05:22.360 we can do that artificially who knows but they're all these like trapped souls in freezers i mean
00:05:29.860 when you start thinking like this, haven't you just gone off the deep end? I mean,
00:05:34.840 isn't this just nuts to think like that? And I mean, you can have opinions on IVF.
00:05:43.680 I have a strongly negative opinion on IVF, actually. But to believe that we need to
00:05:51.860 liberate the frozen souls in these clinics is just really bizarre. And I don't think that
00:05:59.440 this is conservative or something. Like, these are the real true blue conservatives think this
00:06:06.740 way. I think these people are a bit wacky and pretty extremist, if we're honest.
00:06:14.440 So anyway, just a few thoughts. I'm glad Nick is willing to call it out. As I said,
00:06:21.340 Like, I did a tweet last night that I'm rather proud of on Hassan Piker, where I was sort of giving Hassan Piker some charity, actually.
00:06:34.920 I don't think Hassan is guilty of reviving socialism in the world.
00:06:43.400 i think piker is in a way innocent of all of this and that he is an expression of audience capture
00:06:52.020 he streams all day every day he makes me look very lazy well maybe it's for honest it's sort
00:07:00.180 of easy to make me look lazy because i am pretty lazy but you get my point um he is just streaming
00:07:06.100 all day. And I don't think that he is in any way, shape, or form educating his audience
00:07:15.340 in the sense of leading them towards the truth. He is a front man for his audience. He is expressing
00:07:22.980 his audience's own sadism and derangement and stupidity. And he just mouths it, but they are
00:07:31.540 the ones coming up with the ideas and memes and he has to stay kind of radical and talk about
00:07:37.540 the streets running with blood and all that kind of stuff in order to stay cool in order to be as
00:07:46.180 again sadistic and deranged as his own followers the people giving him super chats now nick does
00:07:53.400 fall into that trap he can fall into that trap but what i've seen from nick and the things that
00:08:01.880 i appreciate most from nick is when he pushes back against his own audience even condemning
00:08:07.180 his own audience even making fun of his own audience that shows someone who is able to
00:08:12.440 educate them or educate shows someone who's able to lead them i don't think asan leads anyone he's
00:08:19.380 being led by the nose by these just gross freaks that watches horrible show every day
00:08:28.220 anyways just some thoughts praise yeah paul is aquarium you can jump in
00:08:34.180 yeah so um i really like his comment on um you know a lot of these like pro-life people being
00:08:42.000 feminists. So I think there's a big aspect of it to where, you know, abortion has saved many a man
00:08:50.440 from child support and being stuck with a singular individual woman who he more than likely did not
00:08:59.660 see the value in reproducing with and really just using them. You know, he wanted to get his rocks
00:09:05.920 off, but he did not want a child with that woman. And so and that happens. You know, I think I don't
00:09:10.520 think anybody could honestly say that they've never had sex with a woman that they really had
00:09:15.900 no interest in long term and without abortion specifically uh that is a a major major risk so
00:09:25.420 you know abortion is really really a pro-man thing um and it's also you see these people
00:09:34.280 like fishback or or others their solution to abortion is like just full-on socialism whether
00:09:42.180 it's through child support payments that we already have we need to boost those i think i've
00:09:49.220 even heard ross douthat talk that like we have got to just focus everything on these women single
00:09:55.280 moms who would have had abortions and again you can have opinions on this but it just seems that
00:10:04.260 like every every group wants to socialize its favored group and then wants to
00:10:13.860 like laissez-faire eyes or liberalize its disfavored group so these same conservatives
00:10:20.000 are like very concerned about food stamps and things like that but then we need to like
00:10:25.080 socialize single mothers basically oh yeah uh you know and the same thing with the military you know
00:10:33.080 if you if you start talking about like reducing funding in the military to conservatives to be
00:10:37.460 like oh god no no we need full-on communism for the military like you know no expense spared so
00:10:45.480 that it's it's just sort of a human tendency where you want to use this immense power of the
00:10:51.240 government for your favorite group but then everyone else it has to like live or die by the
00:10:55.860 free market go on well and and if um i don't even know if i i don't want to put words in anybody's
00:11:01.900 mouth but like people like fish bag if they haven't already gotten to this point they are
00:11:06.820 they're really close to the point of literally like criminalizing you know not taking care of
00:11:14.480 a woman who you inseminate like they would like it is suggest on his thing like oh it's no fault
00:11:21.860 divorce that was the thing so yeah getting rid of no fault divorce yeah we're gonna end no fault
00:11:27.760 divorce and so if the the man cheats he's just totally screwed we're gonna like take his business
00:11:34.600 away and give it to the victim wife i mean what are we talking about yeah oh my gosh yeah that's
00:11:41.580 like a that's a i mean i don't think he's going to implement any of this i don't think he's going to
00:11:45.540 finish higher than third in any major election but it's just like the thought process that
00:11:50.820 this events is yeah 100 it's a uh it's a major major issue and and really like
00:12:00.000 feminism is a is a very powerful memetic tool um that i that both sides absolutely
00:12:08.020 weaponized but you know it just i almost feel like the uh the the conservatives tend to do it
00:12:16.080 worse like they the stuff proposed by them as far as like you know the stuff we said with fishback
00:12:24.200 and you know getting rid of no-fault divorce and banning abortion and all these sort of things
00:12:28.620 would 100 you know it's very weird and i think it is all there is a part of it where it is
00:12:35.680 trying to get the female vote because that is you know um well i think women are is it true
00:12:41.740 women are more likely to vote i think that's oh yeah they're more likely to do everything yeah
00:12:46.580 yeah exactly and so um you know it's all trying to grab up this you know half the population to
00:12:54.600 support them it is also an inherently feminist and i remember pointing this out i mean do you
00:13:01.120 remember back in 2016 when donald trump was running donald trump has been pro-abortion rights for his
00:13:06.960 entire life conveniently he changed his mind in 2016 similar story with Mitt Romney actually in
00:13:12.740 2012 but putting that aside and they were asking him it was the hardball guy Chris Matthews and he
00:13:20.580 was like so what are we going to do about this are you going to arrest the woman are you going
00:13:24.220 to punish the woman and he actually thought about it he was like yeah I guess we have to punish the
00:13:30.740 woman and all of the pro-life people who at that time in the summer of 2016 were skeptical still
00:13:39.140 skeptical of trump like they were not on board with trump now they they fully became on board
00:13:44.260 later on but that point it was still liminal and they were like oh this is terrible to even talk
00:13:50.800 about this how crazy and it's like again female responsibility is something that people don't like
00:13:59.180 I mean, that woman went to the doctor and asked for the abortion that, you know, the, the, the incidents of, of doctors trying to make money, like, like the equivalent of ambulance chasing, like going to women and talking them into abortions, which is more likely, you know, overwhelmingly, it is the case that pregnant women go
00:14:29.040 to physicians and seek abortions and they provide them in line with the hippocratic oath do no harm
00:14:36.020 of if i don't do this a greater harm is going to occur with this woman in multiple ways of either
00:14:45.820 finding an illegal means of getting the abortion or being a unfit mother and destroying two lives
00:14:52.660 etc etc and so it's just this like it is feminism in the sense and it's just like basic sense of
00:15:02.740 basically catering everything to this single mother who's a hero and even women who have
00:15:10.180 had abortions like are is the pro-life movement calling them murderers
00:15:15.060 or are they being like oh she's an authentic voice who's now pro-life
