The Hoover Institution within Stanford University claims to be a public policy research center
00:00:06.220
promoting the principles of individual, economic, and political freedom.
00:00:10.200
Well, they just hosted a workshop examining women in the alt-right.
00:00:15.140
Hoover Institution just released new research about the alt-right.
00:00:20.120
Yes, that's right, that thing that happened eight years ago in 2016.
00:00:23.640
The workshop features a conversation with Richard Nielsen on how the rhetoric of women in the alt-right broadens the movement's appeal.
00:00:36.300
Turns out this Spurgy nerd has been working loosey-goosey on this since 2019, I think he said, collecting data.
00:00:45.580
So let's hear the introductions and show a few clips for your viewing entertainment, of course.
00:00:53.640
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Hoover Institution.
00:01:12.460
Xylophone is technically the metal ones. This is the wooden ones.
00:01:18.200
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Hoover Institution workshop on using text as data and policy analysis.
00:01:28.500
In this workshop, we feature applications of natural language processing, structured human readings, and machine learning methods to text as data to examine policy issues across the social sciences.
00:01:48.560
So I think I had a rehearsal studio, like literally in an underground bomb shelter that looked like that.
00:01:53.300
That's where he takes the kids he kidnaps or something.
00:01:57.460
I'm just doing some algorithms here on my wall.
00:02:10.960
I'm Justin Grimmer, and Steve Davis and I co-organized the workshop.
00:02:15.700
Today, we're thrilled to have Rich Nielsen, who's an associate professor of political science at MIT, presenting joint work with Eliza Oak called...
00:02:28.640
Well, you know, if you can't have women, then you have to look at the data.
00:02:55.280
And it's, of course, only YouTube data, by the way, too.
00:03:01.280
He tells his motivation, the blonde guy there, his focus on why he's doing this and how he's collected the data and what effects he thinks it's having.
00:03:10.380
Rich is going to speak for about 30 to 40 minutes.
00:03:13.140
If you have any questions, please place them in the Q&A feature.
00:03:17.320
Steve and I might interject with some pressing questions.
00:03:20.940
And it's possible that there could be some live responses in the Q&A, though unlikely.
00:03:25.880
There was unlikely because no one's watching this shit.
00:03:30.220
Even he admits, yeah, no one's going to be there.
00:03:32.700
Now, we have to mention first here, though, how the rhetoric of women in the alt-right...
00:03:37.860
Well, first of all, not everyone in here is a woman, right?
00:03:49.680
And the majority of these, I mean, Rebecca does some stuff.
00:04:11.000
So we have one, two, and two and a half of the women here.
00:04:16.820
They're, like, still engaged in some kind of content creation on any regular basis, at least.
00:04:22.800
So that's the number one failure at the gates here, I guess.
00:04:26.620
But anyway, we can go back to this riveting presentation here.
00:04:59.120
Because remember, I was attacked, like, the most of all these girls.
00:05:04.560
Here's just some random photo of a random girl.
00:05:13.680
That's a photograph of Lana Lochteff, who I just, you know, had a shot up from her video.
00:05:19.660
Again, a lot of emphasis on Lana Lochteff and Red Ice TV.
00:05:28.560
It's just common because, like, all the articles for a time, remember?
00:05:31.900
It was, I was, like, on mainstream news, like, all the time.
00:05:35.840
It's funny now how the most of them have dropped, like, dropped out.
00:05:39.320
It's just, like, if there's any, like, mainstream articles, it's about, like, either Nick Fuentes or, like, I think that's, I think that's basically it.
00:05:49.260
It's, like, we either cover Nick Fuentes nonstop, like, like, Right Wing Watch does, or it's, like, hardly anyone else doing anything.
00:06:01.680
But anyway, be that as it may, it's interesting.
00:06:04.320
So, he's just going to talk about his focus and men versus women, basically, is his goal, saying the same messages and how it impacts people.
00:06:15.560
Actually, and, you know, headlines like, Why are women joining the alt-right?
00:06:22.900
And you can see, you know, here in the kind of header of the transcript, its ideology rejects Jewish people, people of color, LGBTQ people, and immigrants.
00:06:40.840
Like, he's not doing a good job explaining anything here, first of all.
00:06:52.160
No, we just randomly attack, you know, black people and gay and Jewish people for absolutely nothing.
00:06:57.480
Yeah, because we don't focus on, like, how the LGBTQ, like, crowd is going after kids or anything like that, or, like, migrant crime.
00:07:15.940
We can only, according to this guy, and this is supposed to be, what is it, Hoover Institute?
00:07:23.780
Yeah, but he's, like, joining with them on this workshop.
00:07:29.280
But, I guess, talking about white privilege, though, that's fine, right?
00:07:36.800
But, you know, again, they have their, Hoover has their, what, campus on the Stanford campus, right?
00:07:43.760
It's just a matter of time before they're infected fully with this kind of AIDS, right?
00:07:47.300
And the, call it, journalistic takes on women in the alt-right.
00:07:54.060
Alt-right, again, also characterized by this headline from Sayward Darby, who's written
00:08:04.620
How can alt-right women exist in a misogynistic movement?
00:08:08.700
And I actually think that that's not the most interesting question in this space.
00:08:14.020
So, this question has already largely been answered.
00:08:17.640
The easy answer is that it's a patriarchal bargain.
00:08:22.540
So, I have to go knock on the door of the patriarchy of this movement, this one man somehow, and
00:08:35.180
Will the patriarchy let me make this racist nationalist video as a woman?
00:08:45.640
It's written by Sayward Darby, who is like such a feminist, right?
00:08:49.160
Thinks that being a feminist is being pro-woman, and that anti-feminist is being anti-woman,
00:08:56.420
Sayward Darby also has run with this lie, and I never said that, that men in the alt-right
00:09:05.740
But that's everywhere, and it's being used everywhere by these people.
00:09:08.540
Yeah, it's been very little of that, and if there is some of that, it's a few troll accounts,
00:09:12.440
and that could be either, it could be friendlies or not, and I mean, who cares, right?
00:09:17.440
In the scope of things, no, most of the men who are in right-wing circles are very happy
00:09:22.820
that women want to be there, for the most part.
00:09:25.000
Not always, of course, but for the most part, they're like, okay, that's good.
00:09:31.820
Strategies for Gaining Security and Autonomy Within a System of Gender-Based Oppression.
00:09:36.520
And isn't this making the whole argument in reverse, right, that if they had to seek,
00:09:45.540
if this is a survival strategy, that's what it sounds like to me, right, strategies for
00:09:48.900
gaining security, which basically means, like, survival within it, then, wouldn't it be
00:09:52.820
easy for these women just to go side with the system as it exists?
00:09:56.720
Yeah, you would get the whole support of the system, the power structure.
00:10:00.900
It's like, and it's not that men within the movement are weak, but I'm saying, as it exists,
00:10:08.220
it's not a wealthy, influential movement, for the most part, right-wing movement, especially
00:10:13.200
dissident movements, or at that time, alt-right.
00:10:17.720
In other words, there's no incentive for women to be in those circles unless, and this is what
00:10:23.800
they don't get, unless they just truly believed in the things that they're talking about.
00:10:31.100
It would have been more interesting if you said, well, survival strategies.
00:10:33.880
What about survival strategies for their offspring or something, as they're becoming minorities,
00:10:43.060
So they're trying to, with all these weird, like, answers to it.
00:10:49.880
Where women trade security and autonomy in exchange for supporting a system of gender-based
00:11:06.940
Every woman, like, content producer I know, like, her husband is, like, so supportive and
00:11:16.760
They just assume it's, like, some, a movie to them.
00:11:20.960
And, like, women are just doing so much better, like, if they sided with, like, the immigrants
00:11:26.380
or something, you know, like, people are anti-white or something, you know.
00:11:31.080
This has been, you know, documented, theorized.
00:11:37.460
It's been documented and theorized pretty well.
00:11:45.400
Oh, so Eliza and I are less interested, kind of, in this first-order question.
00:11:49.780
Although I'm happy to talk about, you know, like, why might these women be participating?
00:11:59.000
Because they can't be genuine in what they believe, right?
00:12:01.940
The phenomenon, as the journalistic writing makes it seem, right?
00:12:09.180
Of course, he doesn't actually say what any of our talking points are.
00:12:21.480
Oh, they just don't like blacks and Jews and gays.
00:12:27.160
Well, the framing is, given that this is evil and bad, why does women who supposedly must side with, like, the leftist progressive establishment, because they're the ones who are going to take care of these women, why do they side against them?
00:12:48.540
There must be some Stockholm syndrome thing going on here.
00:12:52.780
What I think is more puzzling or where we have less clear answers are how do women get authority in a male-dominated movement?
00:13:08.080
I go knock on the door of the patriarchy and say, can I make a video?
00:13:17.980
There's no one you go to to ask to, like, can I come into this patriarchal, oppressive space now and put up my video?
00:13:28.220
You have to understand, the accusations are admissions.
00:13:40.460
Or who do I need to, you know, maybe even worse, bend over for?
00:13:54.840
It's just women doing a YouTube channel and talking about shit.
00:13:57.880
And then either other people are saying, you suck, your takes are bad.
00:14:10.000
And you can see here, I've put up pictures of nine of the 13, or sorry, 11 women that we're analyzing in this particular paper.
00:14:22.960
There is a very strong, like, performance of gender that's happening visually on the screen.
00:14:36.880
There's one strong performance of gender in here.
00:15:00.260
And then he's like, and they share the same look or something.
00:15:06.880
Fair amount of, like, priority towards a certain look, certain appeal, also a certain style of video.
00:15:27.640
You would see some similarities in addition to the kind of general appearance.
00:15:35.760
Like, everyone sits in their house and makes a video.
00:15:40.940
I think he, no, I think he, did he actually talk about the present, I think he's talking
00:15:44.080
about the presentation of the women, like how they present themselves.
00:15:53.480
And they're, you know, most of them are attractive.
00:15:56.020
Not at all, but, you know, especially not at the top.
00:15:59.360
The most attractive one there with the little kissy lips there.
00:16:04.220
We want to theorize this a little bit, but also.
00:16:11.380
Blair White has been, many people, of course, are like, you're out.
00:16:17.140
Like, that's plenty of that going on, too, by the way.
00:16:20.040
Like, you can say some good things, but you're out.
00:16:23.200
You know, as far as we know, previously unexplored corpus of videos that these women and then counterpart men in the movement have produced.
00:16:35.780
And that's what the paper is, is looking at women's rhetoric, looking at men's rhetoric and comparing it to see, OK, what can we glean from the rhetoric they use about how they're constructing their authority in this space?
00:16:56.600
I thought you had to go to somebody to get the authority.
00:17:00.460
Isn't that a contradiction to what he just said?
00:17:02.000
Each one of these women have to construct, they have to make a space and create their own authority within this page.
00:17:15.220
Do you know how relationships actually work, other than what progressive, you know, feminists tell you?
00:17:21.900
Now, there could be this reason that, like, Google owns YouTube and Google, like, started to see it as, like, a CIA funds, essentially.
00:17:28.660
So it's like they can get exactly everything they need from them.
00:17:31.440
And maybe they can't get what they want from a Rumble or, you know, an alternative platform like BitChute or something.
00:17:38.940
And most of these people have been banned from YouTube.
00:17:42.580
And he even says, oh, it kind of made it hard, you know, 2019.
00:17:48.220
And by the way, he says he went to, like, SPLC first for his research.
00:17:58.920
Given that these people are evil, here's the default position on that.
00:18:02.760
Now let's analyze, like, how their reach is and how that impacts people and influences them.
00:18:08.420
Give us the definition of alt-right that you are after.
00:18:12.380
And how you would sample from that, that frame.
00:18:20.740
Do we have a bunch of things got cut as we tried to shorten the paper?
00:18:24.340
I'm like, do we have a definition of alt-right in the paper at this moment?
00:18:33.200
Yeah, because he was fumbling around like an idiot.
00:18:36.260
He literally is doing this whole thing about women in the alt-right, the alt-right message.
00:18:51.200
And the second part of that, he can't even do it.
00:18:58.500
Holding a right-wing set of ideas and being open to, or more than open to, racist interpretations.
00:19:28.160
Let's get back to more data and show these screenshots and lines and numbers.
00:19:36.420
Why not just say, like, racist women then or something?
00:19:39.060
Why even do the alt-right thing if it just means racism?
00:19:42.380
His big conclusion is that women make more racist material content than men.
00:19:49.120
Now, this part is interesting and hilarious because he's talking about multidimensional
00:19:57.740
All these big words of how he gathered material to analyze or face, gender, emotion recognition
00:20:04.520
and these sampled frames and Google object detection.
00:20:09.300
Man, this guy's, like, going all in on this thing.
00:20:25.240
So, I guess they've used that of text for sample frames.
00:20:37.920
I remember many of them, too, a while ago talked about this.
00:20:40.700
How they're using AI because they're just too lazy.
00:20:43.460
And it's like, who has time to watch all this stuff?
00:20:45.620
So, let's just have AI scan all of it for us and then just pull out, like, the racist parts so we can listen to it.
00:20:51.820
Say, oh, you mean to not put it in context or whatever?
00:20:55.060
Google label detection, which is saying what search terms does Google think you would want to associate with this image?
00:21:00.940
Then we're going to use an API from a firm called Face Plus Plus to do face, gender, and emotion recognition on these.
00:21:11.540
Because Google no longer does that through their API.
00:21:28.040
I mean, you would think this is, like, some psychotic or, like, some obsessed stalker or something.
00:21:35.320
I like that they've identified, here's a person, here's another person.
00:21:53.120
And the comment here, too, is we don't need foreign babies.
00:21:56.800
And it's really these new incoming babies from foreign lands that are causing problems.
00:22:07.240
They're trying to lobby for more political power.
00:22:08.780
Yes, they strain on the welfare system and they're taking our jobs that we don't even have.
00:22:19.780
Yeah, so he's, like, he's obviously analyzing from this interview.
00:22:25.860
Visual display of what that's going to look like for the frame we've been looking at.
00:22:28.980
So, in the optical character recognition is going to be in the orange here.
00:22:39.480
For example, it thinks the Twitter bird is a Y.
00:22:50.840
Can't you just look at the lower third and just, like, is this relevant or what's going on here?
00:23:06.180
But is there a longer analysis of the, of, like, what the face does when something is said?
00:23:16.520
I mean, his big conclusion, I'll tell you later, is that, you know, viewers receive content from women more than men.
00:23:29.040
They like to watch that from women saying, you know, things like that.
00:23:35.860
So why does he need these, like, lines and this study?
00:23:39.920
It's, like, basically all these technical tools and data analysis to study why we were popular on YouTube.
00:23:45.700
It's, like, he can't see the forest through the trees.
00:23:50.240
Instead, he studies, like, this little particle over here and over there, avoiding the forest.
00:23:55.040
We were popular on YouTube because we were the first to put ourselves out there telling big truths about our current world and our place in it as white people.
00:24:02.960
And it might be a little shocking to those who live in denial, but for many, they liked it and they still do because so few are doing it, right?
00:24:14.400
There's many more voices like ours, but it's just funny.
00:24:17.460
They have to use all these tools, ultimately, studying our message and why is it reaching people and why is it popular and how is this working?
00:24:27.740
It's called truth and it's called normal women saying the truth.
00:24:30.440
Well, again, let's use multidimensional video data and text to, you know, video to text analyzing to, can you just not sit and watch it and listen to what's being said?
00:24:42.620
But it's like this, they need a way to go through all of it without actually, like, blah, blah, blah, blah, not hearing it or something.
00:24:48.920
Like, it's almost like, we can't be, we'll be infected also by it.
00:24:53.580
And then obviously, like, feminists aren't as popular because they're annoying, mostly ugly, and they tell a lot of lies and people are sick and tired of it.
00:25:02.540
Well, they can go to any mainstream channel to get that shit.
00:25:04.940
This is like, you know, this is the big threat from the small, you know, at the time.
00:25:14.600
But they've, they've managed to, you know, knock it, knock it down a couple of pegs with all the censorship.
00:25:19.020
But it's coming up again because now our talking points are hitting mainstream talking heads now, right?
00:25:25.200
Like a lot of lingo that we used many years ago, people are using in the mainstream.
00:25:30.340
You could use all your tools and graphs and all your analysis, but he wants to, he's avoiding the elephant in the room, which is the message.
00:25:41.760
Not some weird, like, because the, this phase is being made here.
00:25:46.840
And he thinks somehow that it's like these women, you'll say later, were like, put there because they were attractive.
00:25:53.800
He can't fathom that this is an organic, just grassroots movement and that there's women that truly care about the, you know, their future and the future for their children.
00:26:03.720
Peter Thiel and the Mercers put these women there.
00:26:08.600
Uh, the face plus plus algorithm is in the light blue there.
00:26:12.140
It's pulling out female neutral and says no smile here for Lana Lochteff.
00:26:16.140
She's smizing, I would call it, um, in green, you have the object detection.
00:26:21.820
So here it's like really showing you it's just, I know he really wants to be my friend.
00:26:26.220
I didn't even grab the microphone, for example.
00:26:28.480
Um, the labels actually, uh, do a little better.
00:26:32.760
Um, so we get a lot of really useful things about, uh, especially kind of the female gender presentation in the red there.
00:26:48.680
I guess this is what they use in academics now.
00:26:50.580
It's because you're not really a, nobody's a woman, right?
00:26:53.440
Except men who've, you know, chopped off their generals.
00:26:56.380
They are women, but women as such is just a female, it's a human person presenting as a, as a female.
00:27:07.420
I guess I have to go through all the prior 30 minutes to get this, but like.
00:27:11.380
Is this actually done on like live video and you get like a multi, multi-layered, uh, uh, breakdown of how this changes over time in the video presentation?
00:27:26.340
No, he's horrible at explaining what, what are you doing?
00:27:32.140
And then the two old guys don't ask any important questions either.
00:27:38.840
We're going to have a topic model where we combine the text and image data in the same topic model.
00:27:46.840
Uh, nuts and bolts of that is we come up with matrices from the transcripts, matrices from the, uh, visual, from turning the visual aspects of the frames into words.
00:28:04.140
Uh, and then we append them and there's a question of weighting.
00:28:07.180
We're actually just going to weight them one-to-one at the moment.
00:28:10.000
Um, uh, but acknowledging that, uh, this is kind of new methodological terrain of exactly how you should weight images, uh, versus text.
00:28:19.500
And I'm trying to do some theoretical thinking about that on the statistical side as well.
00:28:25.060
Uh, this is very, uh, then we, this is where all the comments were like, wow, this was really bad.
00:28:39.820
No, I mean, it's the most complicated ways of just, it's just, it's just a message of like, an observation, for the most part.
00:28:49.100
But the message about observation of reality that's being discussed for the most part by, by whether it's women or men, it's like this shit's, or like, here's a news story.
00:28:58.800
And we have to like organize to stop this bad thing from having, that's, I mean, that's, that's, that's kind of it, right?
00:29:07.100
It's like, and then a computer has to analyze these things for you to give you some kind of answer because they're completely lost.
00:29:13.420
In some like Klingon talk, you know, it's, it's, it's really simple, our messages.
00:29:26.820
As I kind of indicated, this differentiation or outbidding frame we started the project with, uh, our answer now is kind of like, yes.
00:29:34.140
It's like, yes, and they do a bit of both, um, but more complicated than just one or the other.
00:29:41.040
Uh, but the image of all right women as trad wives and pulling things just towards gender and home life, et cetera, is pretty woefully incomplete.
00:29:51.220
Women are talking about white nationalisms, white nationalisms, core ideas more than men.
00:29:56.520
They're provoking more racism when they do, although maybe not through pinkwashing.
00:30:01.740
Any guy that uses pinkwashing is like, you can't take him seriously.
00:30:07.040
I, I, is he a straight man actually using the term pinkwashing right now?
00:30:14.160
Women aren't just talking about things at home and in the kitchen and their kids.
00:30:20.660
And unless they're liberal women, then it's fine.
00:30:22.720
But when it's women on our side of things, oh my God, they're talking, it's white nationalism.
00:30:27.780
Whenever they talk about politics, it's evil white nationalism.
00:30:33.480
Is that a, is that a, some kind of indication that we can image of all right women as trad wives is incomplete.
00:30:42.920
Or is he saying that they could not create a picture of that in order to analyze that properly?
00:30:54.340
Doesn't that mean then that one of their kind of arguments of what it is or supposed to be is not what it actually is?
00:31:20.760
So some cucked computer algorithm is basically telling them, oh, it's more racism in this one.
00:31:35.000
It's talking, you know, oh, black pride is healthy.
00:31:42.840
Maybe they use some AI tools in this project too, essentially.
00:31:47.460
And it's basically the default position is white people bad and white people can't do what other ethnic groups can.
00:31:53.820
Can't ever stand up for ourselves and call things out, call out lies when we see it.
00:31:57.980
Evidence is simply that women, when they talk more about race, generate more racism.
00:32:07.620
You're analyzing what the audience will be perceiving or feeling when they watch it or what do you mean?
00:32:14.580
After I watch this video with Lana, I just really hate blacks and Jews and gays now.
00:32:21.360
I don't even know what that means, but okay, whatever.
00:32:24.540
There's a lot of stuff going on in his head there.
00:32:27.140
If men talked more about race in the movement, they would also generate more racism.
00:32:36.100
But maybe they talk more about, like, specific example, whereas women then still, because it's like, what, fair?
00:32:43.020
Like, 26 in death was kind of fairly new in a way, right?
00:32:51.100
So it kind of makes sense that if men had generally been in those types of topics longer, they are moving on and talk more about other things, whereas women is, like, trying to both describe and at the same time kind of wrap their heads around the ideas that's being discussed as they're entering into those topics.
00:33:05.160
And make it relatable to their current experience, their lived experience, right?
00:33:11.600
And it's this idea that it's like, well, yeah, of course you want to recruit people, if you will, or, like, convince people.
00:33:21.900
It's like, oh, they're trying to recruit people.
00:33:29.720
Well, he's not a really good job at that, but, you know, that's a different thing.
00:33:32.360
That this isn't just about making white nationalism seem friendly with pretty faces.
00:33:38.200
We don't think that we've fully exhausted some analysis of the performance of gender here.
00:33:43.860
And it's in our topic models, but there's a lot more you could do.
00:33:48.540
Here's to four more years of 2016 content coming up.
00:33:55.820
Finally, we think the takeaway is that women are effective at eliciting support for the movement's most dangerous ideas.
00:34:10.080
Because that's what he was bitching about with Ayla there.
00:34:16.080
Being a mom and having kids that look like you.
00:34:28.220
Of the observational analysis, which I'm very happy to hear about.
00:34:40.340
But you can infer from an observational analysis like this.
00:34:44.040
It should horrify you that many of these racist comments are still up on YouTube.
00:34:50.220
Thinking about like how racist comments is hurting me.
00:34:55.080
And it's funny because this got hammered with comments, too.
00:35:03.580
By the way, it also showed that they had been in to put comments in to elicit certain.
00:35:14.480
They put in comments to elicit certain responses or something like that.
00:35:22.560
It can even like mix it up a little bit to like make it seem that it wasn't bots.
00:35:26.460
I mean, it's not bots, but it's essentially bots, right?
00:35:29.440
So it shows you like that I have to run gay ops on this thing, essentially, right?
00:35:34.200
But anyway, yeah, there was some screenshot on the number of content creators, I think,
00:35:38.580
And it was like how many there were from Red Ice in there.
00:35:48.800
Like different content creators that we had that they had analyzed.
00:36:00.860
Kind of one of the prominent people in the movement.
00:36:05.860
There are other powerful people, mostly men in the movement,
00:36:10.480
who can elevate and amplify and vouch for a new entrant.
00:36:18.220
And they actually do exactly what you're describing.
00:36:23.100
Can you put her on your show to let her enter into the authority space?
00:36:31.360
I thought these things didn't exist in their world, supposedly.
00:36:34.000
But now they're like admitting that that's how they operate.
00:36:40.620
Oh, now we've allowed her into the patriarchal authority space.
00:36:44.780
We literally have this cartoonish Lex Luthor view of how we're sitting in our cave dungeon
00:37:05.680
They're doing this interview that you can see on the screen right here with each other.
00:37:08.720
This is Lana using her authority to try to amplify Isla's authority.
00:37:27.260
This shows you how much of a pecking order, like environment that they operate in continuously,
00:37:32.960
whether it's academics, politics, finance, whatever.
00:37:36.800
It's like the worst hierarchical, you know, brown-nosing environment you can ever imagine.
00:37:42.720
In this case, it's like, oh, that's a cool person.
00:37:47.620
It was this whole big scheme going on before we allow someone on the show.
00:37:53.020
Isla is now famous for saying something that Lana wants to amplify.
00:37:59.240
She's essentially in this, like, her and her husband ran Red Ice TV together.
00:38:05.600
But I can see it over time, actually, in that my inference is that they learned from the
00:38:10.820
engagement side that Lana's videos got more engagement, and they actually then over time
00:38:16.500
keep doing more to make Lana more prominent in the channel.
00:38:20.780
We'd produce more videos because it's successful.
00:38:29.240
That's obviously, that's how anybody, you know.
00:38:37.640
I think it's this, again, that they shouldn't be, how are they allowed to do this?
00:38:47.820
That also brings up that there's a business aspect to all of this, which is partly why
00:38:52.520
they were so irritated about getting kicked off of YouTube because they were making money.
00:39:01.020
In the beginning, but yeah, we didn't have any.
00:39:04.880
See, they're the ones always thinking about money.
00:39:06.900
These liberals are getting like millions and millions of dollars.
00:39:09.400
Well, this is because they know that you have to have funds to grow your operation, to get
00:39:13.020
your message out, to spread your, you know, PR or your propaganda.
00:39:16.040
Obviously, they're trying to operate that this is like some, they've discovered, they're
00:39:19.840
on to us that we're trying to promote and grow and get our ideas.
00:39:25.520
I don't have a clear answer to like, you know, are they selected from above or do they grassroots
00:39:39.160
Who is this person above that is selecting these women and putting them?
00:39:53.940
There's this man behind the door that we have to knock on.
00:39:58.320
They've become those crazy conspiracy theories.
00:40:02.140
Look at the body language here of how this person.
00:40:04.420
And it has to be all these other things and the actual thing that's just right in front
00:40:11.100
But yeah, no, these are the conspiracy people now.
00:40:13.420
They think somebody like to put us there somehow.
00:40:21.000
You know, like, yeah, I wish we got money from somewhere.
00:40:24.300
And if we were, wouldn't, what's the reasoning with us being banned from every place?
00:40:29.720
Wouldn't, like, if this is some secret thing of amplifying these ideas by some right-wing
00:40:33.520
powerful person or something, wouldn't we be, like, allowed on all these platforms?
00:40:39.160
It's just nothing makes sense because they're just, all right.
00:40:42.800
is typically a mix of both hierarchy and kind of grassroots, like, putting yourself forward
00:40:55.400
It's always putting yourself out as an authority.
00:40:59.520
People put videos out all the time and put them online.
00:41:02.860
It's not this big, grand scheme or, like, I'm now in the authority space.
00:41:09.980
Yeah, it's pretty shocking to learn just how retarded these people actually are and how
00:41:17.240
little they're just willing to just, I mean, again, I know they have this, like, they're
00:41:24.760
They read mainstream articles, Wikipedia pages.
00:41:27.060
They go straight to, like, you know, the stenographers in the mainstream media that's releasing, like,
00:41:32.700
intelligence operatives at Wikipedia's, you know, talking points about who's a bad person
00:41:37.120
and why we have to go after them legally and, you know, with Operation Chokepoint, you know,
00:41:41.220
terminate them from payment processors so they can't grow organically like everyone
00:41:47.180
But still, you'd think to be a human in there somewhere that can at least, like, all right,
00:41:52.200
I don't agree with them, but let's hear them out or something.
00:41:59.560
No, he doesn't actually bring up one of those, right?
00:42:02.220
I'm going to just read a couple of video comments on this one.
00:42:04.440
Did you guys just wake up from a seven-year coma?
00:42:07.180
In internet years, this content is beyond stale.
00:42:10.300
This is one of the worst presentations I've ever seen.
00:42:16.740
Surprised that the Hoover Institute will put out a video wrapped in so much left-wing rhetoric
00:42:23.060
The more the presenter talks, the more dubious he sounds.
00:42:27.840
Can't even give a definition for the title of alt-right.
00:42:30.880
These are the studies that Hoover Institute funds, dot, dot, dot.
00:42:35.480
He lost me early at Atlantic and NPR being popular media.
00:42:41.040
I'm glad you gave us a trigger warning at the start that tells me everything I need to know
00:42:44.800
about how unserious and juvenile you and your audience are.
00:42:52.380
The presenter can't even define the core topic of the study.
00:42:55.120
Fails to provide any clear or useful conclusion.
00:42:57.740
As a past donor to the Hoover Institution, I have some questions.
00:43:02.240
Two, will nonsensical studies like this be funded or showcased in the future?
00:43:06.560
Three, has the Hoover Institution abandoned its ideological foundation of libertarianism
00:43:11.520
and joined the rest of academia which has been consumed by woke activism and fraud?
00:43:18.180
I love the way they try to make a headline out of this.
00:43:20.620
The alt-right are providing free cookies at their meetings,
00:43:25.200
They use the extra big chocolate chips, thereby amplifying my desire to attend an anonymous source claimed.
00:43:32.120
And then they get hammered by people telling them, you know, like, you're stuck in a 2016 time loop.
00:44:07.180
Just keep whining behind your, like, dry, boring, academic, like, my data points.
00:44:18.300
Meanwhile, like, our world is burning, like, to the ground.
00:44:25.440
And again, we've, you know, we've been talking about this particular issue.
00:44:30.920
But for a decade, you know, a lot has changed, right?
00:44:34.760
Mainstream conservatives, like I said, are picking up our arguments.
00:44:41.440
Plus, the future is white political movements, right?
00:44:45.280
To stand up for our best interests, just like everybody else's.
00:44:48.660
He doesn't call brown, black, or Asian women racist for standing up for their people or
00:44:59.620
And despite of all the whining they did or all the reports that they've done.
00:45:06.240
And, of course, that's, you know, still there and continues.
00:45:08.240
So, it's not that that's gone away, but they, the people that want us, you know, Terminator
00:45:13.500
or want us not to be able to talk about these things, they've also upped their tactics.
00:45:18.840
They're now just going, they're suing people now.
00:45:25.960
Because, again, that's what authoritarian, you know, again, to talk about power structures
00:45:30.380
or hierarchies or, like, dominance when it comes to, like, who holds influence and power.
00:45:34.560
Like, you're sitting in the environment of this immense power structure that's, like,
00:45:39.120
you know, shutting people down, forcing them out of not being able to participate, essentially,
00:45:45.300
right, in order to influence or talk about the concerns that they have or something like
00:45:49.180
Again, this is, like, not, it's not violent rhetoric or anything like that.
00:45:51.640
Hey, this is a hands-on approach on how to solve these issues.
00:45:56.380
And they're part of a system that's just trying to squash those people entirely.
00:46:02.060
Yeah, wake up, Hoover Institution and Richard Nielsen.
00:46:04.780
Stop being boomers and pull your heads out of your ass.
00:46:08.920
And they're going to, one day, either they'll go to the grave or they're going to learn the
