Summary
I m sick and tired of all the people in our culture who are overly sensitive and overly contentious. I m sick of the media ignoring the hundreds of thousands of officers who risk their lives every single day for people of all colors but instead zero in on the handful of racist cops who abuse their authority. I'm sick of hyper-conservative politicians who ignore the fact that the vast majority of the black community protests peacefully but they make sure to highlight the one protest that turns into a riot.

guys i cannot be the only one who is sick and fucking tired i don't mean like sick with covid
00:00:22.120
or h1n1 or the swine flu or the bird flu or the fucking tick flu i mean i am legitimately
00:00:28.900
sick and tired of all the people in our culture who are contentious okay you know what contentious
00:00:38.000
means it means antagonistic it means combative it means argumentative means disagreeable maybe
00:00:45.380
that's the word disagreeable a disagreeable person is someone who literally turns everything you say
00:00:51.700
or do into an insult or a fight hey how are you doing do you even really care what i'm doing
00:00:58.860
are you just asking because you feel guilty hey you look really nice today what i don't look good
00:01:05.860
every day hey one of the buttons on your shirt is undone you fucking pervert why are you looking at
00:01:11.860
me like that you guys all know what i'm talking about these people wake up with a scowl on their
00:01:17.480
face they think the world's out to get them you can't really talk about anything that have any
00:01:22.160
real significance because they're sensitive as fuck they think everything you say is offensive
00:01:27.860
everything you say is oppressive and that you should be silenced and i think the word right now
00:01:33.640
is canceled but at the same time they feel completely comfortable making broad generalizations about
00:01:41.200
people they feel like it's their right to tell you how to think to tell you how to act to tell you how to
00:01:48.960
vote like literally their attitude is i have the right to bitch and whine and accuse you of all sorts
00:01:56.820
of things and tell you how to live because you victimized me in some way but you don't have the right to
00:02:04.460
respond you don't have the right to question my beliefs you don't have a right to ask me about the facts that
00:02:12.180
drew me to this conclusion you don't have the right to ask me whether i've actually thought through my
00:02:18.600
opinions i have the right though to be sensitive and i have the right to be offended and i have the
00:02:27.540
right to be angry and attack you and try to take everything away from you and you have nothing but the
00:02:34.360
right to remain fucking silent we all know people like this and unfortunately this isn't just a small
00:02:43.000
group of people anymore there's more of these people in america than there are people in your
00:02:48.460
neighborhood there's more of these people in america than there are people in your hometown or even your
00:02:54.180
state there are millions of people out there like this right now and it's destroying our culture
00:03:01.040
and i'm sick of it i'm sick to my stomach and i'm sick to my fucking soul these people are weaponizing
00:03:09.420
every single issue we face as a country they are forcing the average american to think in terms
00:03:16.020
exclusively of us versus them take covid it's the people who care about the health versus the people
00:03:24.280
who care about the economy no no no you can't care about both you have to pick a side
00:03:31.040
you're not just an american either by the way you're either a black or a white man or a woman
00:03:35.920
or gay or straight or christian or atheist and once you choose what you are those battle lines are
00:03:43.300
drawn they're set in stone if you're white and you don't want to defund the police guess what
00:03:48.060
you're a racist if you're gay but you don't think a christian baker should be forced to bake a cake
00:03:53.920
for a gay wedding you're a traitor to the lgbtq community you can't agree with trump on a matter
00:04:02.060
of policy otherwise you're a white supremacist racist you can't think barack obama would be
00:04:08.520
cool as fuck to have a beer with otherwise you're a left-wing nut job are you guys sick of this shit yet
00:04:15.760
because i am i'm sick of the media ignoring the hundreds of thousands of officers who risk their
00:04:22.920
lives every single day for people of all colors but instead zero in on the handful of bad crazy
00:04:31.460
racist officers who abuse their authority i'm sick of the hyper conservative politicians who ignore
00:04:40.460
the fact that the vast majority of the black community protests peacefully but they make sure
00:04:46.480
to highlight that one protest to turn into a riot don't they and why do they do this it couldn't be
00:04:53.040
just so they could fire up their voter base and become the candidate for law and order
00:04:58.860
you know what else i'm sick of i'm sick of people who have absolutely nothing to do
00:05:05.060
with a particular group of people feeling the need to tell these people how to live
00:05:10.460
every state has its own unique situation circumstances the people of california should
00:05:16.320
not be forcing their political policies and beliefs on the people of missouri the people
00:05:22.560
of missouri should not be forcing their political policies and beliefs on the people of california
00:05:29.320
if the sunshine state wants to tax the fuck out of their businesses for that extra sunshine that's
00:05:36.360
their decision and it's your decision to live there if the show me state wants to have open carry laws
00:05:42.400
guess what we can do that here all right why do we have so many people weighing in on these issues
00:05:49.720
that have nothing to fucking do with them why can't you just do you and me do me why can't we leave
00:05:57.980
each other alone and work in harmony towards progress but that's the problem isn't it people
00:06:04.400
don't want to focus on their own shit these days they don't want to you know take care of their own
00:06:10.500
lives people don't want to say hey look man life is hard for all of us i'm just trying to do the best
00:06:15.360
i can they don't want to say yeah you know i might not agree with everything that guy says we might
00:06:21.400
have some major differences but man i don't wish ill on them i want them to be happy and successful i hope
00:06:25.980
they do well no that's not what we do in america anymore they don't want to say that that would
00:06:30.520
be too mature that would be too adult that would be the attitude you would have if you were an actual
00:06:35.660
reasonable human a good person a person committed to bettering themselves a person committed to
00:06:40.480
excellence instead they position themselves as the victim as the offended as the oppressed and you
00:06:48.800
no matter who you are listening right now you are the enemy that's how these people think
00:06:54.820
these people are only happy if they're whining about something they're only happy if they're
00:06:59.260
attacking about something they're only fulfilled if they have someone to blame and guess who that is
00:07:05.000
that's you that's why they do everything they can to see the world in terms of us versus them the
00:07:12.500
haves versus the have-nots the oppressed versus the oppressor that's why they do everything they can to
00:07:19.540
divide us up into little bitty categories so they can stroke the discontent until we're so mad at each
00:07:25.320
other that we can't have a motherfucking conversation and i'm sick of it i'm genuinely sick of it
00:07:33.340
what's happening in our culture this is not america it's happening because the victims and the discontent
00:07:41.140
of the people who want to divide us are actually speaking up and the people who think otherwise the
00:07:47.400
people who believe in the constitution of united states the people who believe all men are created
00:07:53.660
equal the people who believe in everything that this country stands for are saying nothing
00:08:00.960
the truly successful satisfied people in this country they're called the silent majority
00:08:12.340
we have to speak up we have to start being more aggressive and having conversations with people
00:08:22.400
about the things that unite us and convince them that those things outweigh the things that divide us
00:08:29.620
because they do we have to dismantle this notion that if we disagree we're enemies and we must hate
00:08:37.620
each other we have to completely obliterate the narrative in our culture that makes us think
00:08:43.940
that if i don't support something that you don't support we have to hate each other we're evil and we must
00:08:52.040
be canceled i'm telling you this right now if we don't get a hold of this sickness guys that's spreading
00:08:57.980
through our culture this us versus them ridiculously illogical virus disagree with me or fuck you bullshit
00:09:06.800
it it's going to tear our country apart and i mean completely and we're all going to lose
00:09:13.040
there's so much to say on this topic i could do a whole full-length podcast on just this and i probably
00:09:20.020
will but for now let me just say this you want to be a part of the solution focus on yourself hold
00:09:28.740
yourself to a higher standard than you hold other people expect more of yourself than you do of someone
00:09:34.980
else if you're going to be critical of anybody be critical of the man or the woman looking at you
00:09:41.080
in the mirror give people the benefit of the doubt the bad apples we see on tv and social media that's
00:09:47.180
not the majority of people in the world or even the majority of the people in this country most of us
00:09:53.040
are genuinely good people who are trying to do our best we're trying to figure out what we believe
00:10:00.700
and figure out the core values that matter to us most even if you run into someone who seems to be
00:10:07.700
cranky and disagreeable remember they're human you might have caught them at a bad time maybe their
00:10:16.240
parents just died maybe they just got fired there's a lot of things going on in this country right now
00:10:21.900
remember that social media with this quick 30 second videos is really good at catching people at their
00:10:28.220
worst moments without any context remind yourself hey man this shit's hard for all of us maybe that
00:10:35.480
guy or girl maybe they're overwhelmed by life right now there's a lot of that going around do what you
00:10:41.360
can to make these people's day a little bit better don't assume they are your enemy don't let yourself be
00:10:48.160
a pawn of the cnn's or the fox or the msnbc's of the world okay don't let yourself be played by the
00:10:55.760
political parties remind yourself you're both human you both have strengths and weaknesses whatever
00:11:03.000
you do don't make our already shitty situation in america worse by being a shitty human
00:11:09.440
do what you can to refuse the either or mentality and do what you can to emphasize what we all have
00:11:19.460
in common you don't have to choose between valuing black people and valuing the police you don't have
00:11:26.320
to choose between wanting to secure borders and caring about immigration you don't have to choose
00:11:32.900
between recognizing the threat of a virus and recognizing the threat of shutting down the
00:11:38.460
fucking world a house divided against itself cannot stand you know who said that abraham lincoln you know
00:11:49.200
who said it before him jesus don't let them divide us into black and white don't let them divide us
00:11:59.220
into gay or straight don't let them divide us into republican or democrat religious or atheist do everything
00:12:08.100
you can to say hey we're all human we all struggle we all fail we all do dumb shit and we all do amazing
00:12:19.140
shit we all want to be successful and happy and so ask yourself how can i make today better for
00:12:28.440
