00:00:00.000 It was said by Lacan about the man who is obsessed with his wife cheating on him, the notion of his wife being adulterous.
00:00:10.920 And so he is doing everything.
00:00:14.560 He's spying on his own wife.
00:00:16.620 He's checking her bags, reading the receipts that he might find to see if she went out to some fancy restaurant.
00:00:23.540 And he's just, you know, stays up all night, doesn't get any sleep because he thinks she might be leaving at 3 a.m. to meet her lover or something like that.
00:00:33.760 He just kind of ruins his life due to this obsession.
00:00:37.920 And Lacan said even if his wife actually were sleeping with someone, it doesn't change the fact that what he's doing is pathological.
00:00:54.540 So even if he finds the truth, it in a way doesn't tell you the real truth of why are you so obsessed with this?
00:01:05.260 Yes.
00:01:06.020 You know, maybe it's actually kind of, you know, don't quote me on this, but maybe actually looking the way, looking the other way might actually be your best move.
00:01:16.780 You know, don't ruin your marriage.
00:01:19.640 You've got a good wife. 0.94
00:01:21.300 Look the other way and then try to solve the problem as opposed to obsessing about it and then freaking out.
00:01:28.420 And so I think it's very similar with like Stop the Steal where, I mean, look, obviously there are there in every election that's ever taken place.
00:01:41.340 There's some weird thing about it and there's some, you know, fairly good cases you can make about social media censoring and most mostly censoring the right.
00:01:53.800 Maybe censoring the left a little bit, but mostly censoring the right.
00:01:59.320 You know, the Twitter kicked the Hunter Biden laptop off the network.
00:02:05.200 You know, it's just, it's just unfair.
00:02:08.380 Mail-in voting seems to help out Democrats and that was promoted.
00:02:13.020 And, you know, it just seems unfair.
00:02:15.000 And I, I might even kind of agree with a lot of those things.
00:02:19.900 But even if you could find like George Soros himself stuffing ballot boxes, it doesn't change the pathological nature to what you're doing.
00:02:33.580 Yes.
00:02:35.320 So it's like you, you feel like you've lost your country due to a number of very important things, just cultural, generational and cultural change that is, it's seemingly profound.
00:02:50.180 We get that.
00:02:52.040 The hollowing out of the middle class. 0.83
00:02:55.620 We got it.
00:02:56.620 The racial transformation that might not even be taking place in your hometown, but is taking place in the media you see on social media, etc.
00:03:10.400 You know, Black Lives Matter riots that seem to be kind of like cheered on and were, to be fair, cheered on by the Democratic establishment and upper crust white liberals living in Arlington, Virginia or something.
00:03:29.220 So, but it's like, that's the issue.
00:03:34.380 And so that expresses itself as the election was stolen.
00:03:39.340 So you're really not ultimately solving anything.
00:03:42.680 Like, even if you were able to win January 6th, you would, like all, none of those problems would go away.
00:03:49.860 Uh, and so it is pathological regardless of what the facts are.
00:03:55.020 Now, I have never seen anything convincing or even compelling about the election being stolen.
00:04:03.900 Outside of some of those things, I kind of agree actually about the, the, uh, early voting. 0.99
00:04:09.740 I think you should vote on the fucking day. 1.00
00:04:12.020 Get off your ass. 1.00
00:04:12.820 You know, like, I don't like this mail in, maybe if you're in the army or something, you're stationed in Germany, you could do that, but I think you should vote on the day. 1.00
00:04:23.180 Um, and I agree, you know, I don't like the conservatives, but I, I kind of agree that they get the short end of the stick when it comes to social media censorship.
00:04:33.660 It, you know, even that is kind of interesting because it demonstrates how powerful social media was in 2016 and how pro Trump it was.
00:04:42.820 So, you know, I, those, but those aren't, those aren't fraud arguments.
00:04:46.900 They're just kind of issues of fairness and stuff like that.
00:04:51.320 I've never seen anything even mildly compelling about election fraud.
