What's up guys, it's Andy Picella and this is the show for the realists, say goodbye
00:00:20.620
to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:24.760
Guys, today I just want to share some thoughts with you, I'm going to remind you before I
00:00:30.180
If you like this, if it made you think, if it gave you a new perspective, if you learned
00:00:33.820
something, if you think it's important, share it, tell somebody about it, you know, help
00:00:41.580
Look, man, I did a lot of reading this weekend about history and World War I, what happened
00:00:50.080
between World War I and World War II, World War II and a lot of the atrocities that happened
00:00:57.500
If you haven't educated yourself on that point in history, it would be a really good
00:01:02.360
thing for you to do because there have been some atrocities in the history of man that
00:01:11.300
You know, everybody knows about the Holocaust and everybody talks about that when they talk
00:01:15.680
about cleansing and racism and just horrible, horrible shit.
00:01:21.660
But there's been a lot of situations like that over the course of time.
00:01:26.540
And, you know, educating yourself on those, I think is extremely helpful, regardless of
00:01:31.620
what you believe may or may not be going on right now.
00:01:34.560
Uh, but those reading kind of reading back on how vicious and how cruel and how, um, disturbing
00:01:47.440
the human race can be when a group think takes over really sort of inspired me to talk to you
00:01:55.700
guys, you know, uh, over the last year, I've been very vocal about people, you know, on, on the
00:02:03.800
internet wishing death on people, you know, right now you have doctors and nurses and, and, and a lot
00:02:09.840
of people online, uh, really criticizing other people who have chosen to, you know, not take the vaccine
00:02:18.820
for whatever reason. And, you know, some of those comments turn into, you know, them wishing that
00:02:25.220
death on these kinds of people. And, you know, we do have crazy things happening where these
00:02:31.220
re-education or holding camps are being formed across the globe. And, and so, you know, I know
00:02:39.420
that those things are scary and I know it's sounds crazy to you guys, but I think it would be good for
00:02:44.440
you to read about it and, uh, to really educate yourself on how those things happen and how
00:02:49.780
important it is, um, that we don't allow those kinds of things to happen again, uh, for any reason,
00:02:57.840
whether it be a medical discrimination or whether it be a racial discrimination or whether it be a, uh,
00:03:03.460
ideological discrimination, uh, religious persecution, those things are not what humanity is about.
00:03:11.040
And the way that we get there is by a lot of people just really not paying attention.
00:03:16.000
You know, if you look back at what happened over the courses of time of when these things happened,
00:03:20.620
it wasn't that there was, uh, the mass majority believe these things. It's that a small minority
00:03:27.800
believe these things and a mass majority did nothing about it. And it seems like, you know,
00:03:34.180
that is the case. Now, a lot of people recognize that the situation in society, uh, is,
00:03:40.480
is wrong. You know, there's constitutional, uh, points that are being ignored. Rights are being
00:03:45.920
ignored. The law is being ignored. Um, we're being fed one side of a narrative by most of the media,
00:03:52.160
uh, we're being lied to. And I think everybody agrees to that, whether how much we're being lied
00:03:58.560
to that's, that's where the argument is. But I think everybody agrees that we're not getting all
00:04:02.520
the information that we could get. I think everybody agrees that this time is not normal. I think
00:04:06.860
everybody agrees that this is fucked up. I think we all agree that it's really off track and we argue
00:04:13.960
within the idea that, you know, of how off track it is. But for a minute, I'd like you to think
00:04:21.620
about, because the questions that we get most of the time when we talk about these things
00:04:25.040
is what can I do? You know, a lot of people at this point realize there's something wrong
00:04:30.380
and they want to do something about it. And, you know, I gave you a podcast on a Sunday that really
00:04:37.180
talked about taking ownership of self, but I want to dive a little bit more in depth on that idea
00:04:43.140
today. Um, just to, to really drive this home, you know, you say, what can we do? And, you know,
00:04:48.820
I've said a lot of times, especially here in the United States, uh, what we can do immediately,
00:04:54.560
right, is to not comply with, with these mandates, um, to stand tall in the truth, to spend our money
00:05:00.940
where, uh, we believe freedom exists and to be diligent about those things and disciplined about
00:05:07.320
those things, uh, so that we can change the tide of, of the ideology that's going on in this country
00:05:12.360
right now. So, you know, what else can you do? You know, we've talked about those things, you know,
00:05:18.360
run at the school board, run at the civic meeting, run, run for, for, uh, office, get involved,
00:05:23.320
get organized, uh, you know, resist. We've talked about all these things, but what,
00:05:27.220
what is the essence of truly opposing this idea of, of anti-freedom or, uh, communism or socialism?
00:05:40.140
Um, which, you know, that's what this is. And it's not, I don't know why it's become unpopular to say,
00:05:46.700
but communism is a bad thing. It's a very, very bad poisonous thing. And if you look and study it
00:05:51.880
over history, you'll find that those are the facts. The ideology has killed more people
00:05:57.700
and left and created more people in misery and poverty and death and destruction than any war,
00:06:06.240
than any famine. In fact, it's caused many of these wars and famines. And if we look at the human
00:06:11.560
nature of society, that's not our nature. We aren't out in the streets here in America,
00:06:16.720
just killing each other for no fucking reason. Okay. Now some places there are, but I would argue
00:06:22.300
that because those places have been neglected by the very people that we have elected to represent
00:06:28.760
us. And instead of representing us, they've represented themselves. And so they create these
00:06:33.660
problems so that they will continue to be elected and they will continue to financially gain so that,
00:06:39.340
you know, we here in America, the people who actually have to live in the real world,
00:06:44.480
might have to put up with some shit so that they can still get their peace. And I don't think that's
00:06:49.140
right. I don't think any of us believe that's right. Um, so I wanted to dive in more, uh, into
00:06:56.740
what you can do because the truth of this guys is that America is a reflection of us. And I was watching
00:07:02.860
the NFL yesterday, uh, while I was doing my cardio, I was watching the Titans, uh, just dominate
00:07:09.640
the chiefs. Um, and they pay in the crowd, right. And the crowd, and I hate to say this, but they look
00:07:18.600
like shit. You know, the, every single person was overweight. Every single person was significantly
00:07:24.620
overweight. Um, you know, they had, most of them had beers, you know, and it got me to think,
00:07:31.940
and I'm not judging the idea of having a good time guys, but America is a reflection of us.
00:07:38.600
And we weren't meant to be fat, weak, and easily entertained. Okay. We were meant to, to be fit,
00:07:45.400
strong, and people who produce, not people who consume. And the media, the, the powers that own
00:07:53.040
the media have decided that in our country, it is better for us to be fat, lazy, weak,
00:08:02.040
stupid, easily entertained, easily distracted, morally compromised at the highest levels. And
00:08:09.900
they do that because the weaker that we are as individuals, the weaker we are collectively
00:08:15.420
and the less that we actually care. And if we talk about what's actually happening in society,
00:08:19.660
I think it's pretty obvious that apathy is a big problem. And the reason that there's a lot of apathy
00:08:26.080
is because there's no sense of pride in self. And if there's no sense of pride in self, there can be
00:08:30.100
no sense of pride in community. And if there's no sense of pride in community, there could be no
00:08:34.560
sense of pride in country. And that's the point. And so when you really think, and when I talk about
00:08:41.340
being the best example that you can be, when you really think about your obligation of what it
00:08:49.080
means to be a good American, a contributing American, how can it not be to be the best that
00:08:55.020
you could possibly be? How can it not be to be the smartest you could possibly be? How can it not be
00:08:59.960
to be the most effective that you can be? How can it not be the most skilled that you can be? How can
00:09:04.960
it not be any of these things? Because that's what it is. And that's why we lack it. And so when you
00:09:12.140
think about what you can do and why nobody's doing anything, we could do a whole lot in a real short
00:09:20.040
amount of time here, guys. We can improve our health very quickly. We can harden our minds very
00:09:25.960
quickly. We can become self-sufficient very quickly. We can move our dollars to companies that align with
00:09:32.100
our beliefs very quickly. We are capable of all of these things. And all of these things are the
00:09:38.520
things that they don't want us to do. They don't want us to get along. They don't want us to have our
00:09:45.560
own self-sustaining communities. They don't want us to work harmoniously together towards a common goal
00:09:53.420
because if we did, we're unstoppable. It's like the old saying, divide and conquer. That's not just a
00:10:00.500
saying. That's a technique. And that's the technique that's being implemented on our society
00:10:06.140
through things like critical race theory, through things like identity politics, through the
00:10:12.080
over-sexualization of our children. None of us believe in those things. None of us believe that
00:10:19.540
one race is superior to another race. None of us believe that each other is the enemy. None of us
00:10:27.200
believe each other are the enemy. If you want evidence, go in the street. Talk to people. Talk
00:10:31.960
to people that don't look like you. Talk to people that don't come from where you come from. You'll
00:10:36.020
find real quick that we have a lot more in common than we do apart. But everywhere we look, every book
00:10:41.740
we read, every movie we see, every media article that we see, all tell us how different we are and tell
00:10:48.800
us how we're supposed to hate and how we're supposed to hate. Why is that? Why is that?
00:10:54.120
Because I know for sure that doesn't benefit our society in any way. So who does it benefit?
00:11:00.660
So if you want to really talk about what needs to change and how it needs to change,
00:11:06.400
it starts at home. It starts with you parents being better parents, being more present,
00:11:12.300
taking an active role in your children. It starts with us trying to cultivate families instead of
00:11:18.880
break families apart. It starts with us becoming self-sufficient and learning skills so that we can
00:11:25.240
produce things here in America. It starts with us taking pride in who we are and what our names mean,
00:11:34.540
like the things that once mattered in this country. Those are the things that we have to restore.
00:11:40.620
We have to restore the value system that made America great because right now,
00:11:44.680
we don't have that value system. And a lot of people will say, well, America was never great.
00:11:50.940
Okay, fair enough. But it was better than everybody else. I'm not sitting here saying we don't have
00:11:57.260
work to do. But what I am saying is that this is the most important time in human history in our
00:12:03.980
lifetimes to where we need to all come together. And we need to all agree that regardless of our
00:12:10.560
differences and regardless of our differences of opinion and how we see things and where we come
00:12:15.540
from and what color our skin is and what our sexual orientation may be, we have to come together in
00:12:21.040
the name of freedom. We have to come together in the name of our future generations. And we have to
00:12:27.080
come together and agree that while everything may not be perfect on the surface right now,
00:12:32.120
that we're going to all commit to making it better without creating a situation where we are
00:12:39.940
persecuting one side or the other side or infighting or arguing because the only people losing here guys
00:12:45.680
is us. The people doing this to us, and I use that term very specifically and intentionally, the people
00:12:54.120
doing this to us are doing it intentionally. They're doing it on purpose. They're creating
00:13:01.760
resistance where there should be no resistance. They're creating infighting where there should
00:13:05.940
be no infighting. They're creating laziness where there should be no laziness. They're taking away
00:13:11.780
purpose. They're taking away the idea of a harmonious, productive future for your family. They're taking away
00:13:20.020
hope. And the way that we restore hope starts with us. It starts with the standard that you hold yourself
00:13:28.420
to. It starts with your standard that you hold for your own health. It starts with the standard that
00:13:35.020
you hold for your family. It starts with the standard that you hold for the people around you. It starts for
00:13:41.460
what you do with your action. It's not what you talk about being. How are you living? What example are you
00:13:48.280
setting? Because those are the things that go against the narrative. Excellence is the anti-narrative.
00:13:56.360
And once you figure that out, you should take every ounce of angst, every ounce of frustration,
00:14:02.560
every ounce of what's going on in the world, the frustration, the pain, and the anger, and you should
00:14:07.720
be pouring it into getting better yourself. Because if you get better yourself, the people around you get
00:14:12.260
better. Your kids get better. Your neighbors get better. And when those people get better, America gets
00:14:17.500
better. And that's the only thing that we can do on the ground floor to fix what's going on.
00:14:25.780
And I hope you'll listen to this message. And I hope you'll think about all the things I'm saying.
00:14:30.720
And I hope you think about all the manufactured bullshit that we've had to deal with for the last
00:14:36.880
however many years. People don't hate each other. We don't hate each other. We just don't.
00:14:42.380
Are we all alike? No. Is America supposed to be all alike? No. We're supposed to recognize people's
00:14:50.440
differences, respect their differences, and work together to create a community that serves all
00:14:55.120
of our interests. And right now, that's not happening. And there's not a single person out
00:14:58.700
there that can argue that. So when you think about what you want America to be, you need to be that.
00:15:04.300
You need to work every single day to be that example. Because right now, we aren't living
00:15:10.280
that example. And that's why our country is suffering. Don't be someone that helps them
00:15:16.200
by being passive. Don't be someone who creates the destruction of our civilized society because you
00:15:25.500
want to play fucking video games. Okay? The way to fight this is to be great. The way to fight this
00:15:32.980
is to create. The way to fight this is to be the best example of what you think America can be
00:15:38.520
and live that every single day. There's all kinds of ways you can do this. Okay? It's about what you
00:15:47.200
put in your brain. It's about what you put in your mouth. It's about what you put in your mind.
00:15:52.700
It's about what you put your body through. 75 hard, live hard. Great way to do this. But there's tons
00:15:58.320
of ways to do this. Okay? You know what it takes to be better. And you know right from wrong. And you
00:16:05.400
know that they want you lazy. And they want you fat. And they want you stupid. And they want you
00:16:11.820
distracted. And so what should you do? You should work every single motherfucking day. Every single
00:16:20.520
motherfucking hour to be the opposite of what they want you to be. Because that's what's ultimately going
00:16:26.620
to save this country. And it starts with you saving yourself.
