00:00:00.000 but what we need to acknowledge as well is that for every little step we take they're going to
00:00:07.180 take 10 and we need to start moving at the speed or countering them at the speed that they're that
00:00:12.600 the left is moving and this is not specifically the ndp this is this is just what's happening
00:00:17.120 in north america around the world like um it's it's it's a it's a rot it's a it's seriously a
00:00:26.360 rot in in politics and i think it needs to be addressed and stamped out and and i i hope over
00:00:31.580 time it will it's kind of like cancel culture i think we've kind of seen the tail end of cancel
00:00:35.920 culture people are starting to be able to be who they are say who they are without being completely 0.99
00:00:40.140 canceled and effectively canceled right i mean for the stupidest shit so is this a trend let's hope 0.99
00:00:46.880 it's a trend let's hope it's a trend that's on the tail end and i mean there's been a lot of hurt 0.99
00:00:51.140 hurt and harm done i got too much but let's hope that the full uh cost is becoming uh you know
00:01:00.720 public at least i hope it is anyways i think one of the terms you were looking for uh when you were
00:01:06.900 describing this was it it definitely is anti-human um anti-human but it's yeah but it's um we we bring
00:01:15.840 them up all the time on the channel but one of our favorite thinkers is a guy named peter bogosian
00:01:19.720 and uh he's called he i think it was him who developed this term called um uh substitution
00:01:26.100 hypothesis and and so the the sub his his definition of it is that uh as societies have become western
00:01:34.560 societies have become uh less and less religious over uh recent decades they've substituted the place
00:01:42.880 that religion normally carries in their lives with other things and then they start to behave
00:01:48.760 uh in religious ways or in cult-like ways about those ideas and that is i think what you see
00:01:54.860 uh with a lot of the the gender ideology now is that it feels like to me the way that people 0.52
00:02:01.060 describe gender ideology is if you just replace some words and you and you you know you use the word
00:02:07.700 like holy spirit or soul or things like that like it's all it really is is religious language sort of in
00:02:14.620 the guise of a of a social movement you know and and cult-like behavior like that is very difficult
00:02:20.680 to counter because the people who believe it believe that it's a part of them and it's not just a you
00:02:25.880 know a temporary belief it's not just like a a preference of you know uh you know a beer over
00:02:31.120 wine or something like it's something that's integral to somebody's own identity 100 100 and i think
00:02:37.560 you know the classic example on a different level is is to some degree you know if you're if you're
00:02:42.920 christian or uh of a religious religious background that believes in creation then the you you you step
00:02:50.800 away from that you you gotta you gotta fill that vacuum well what what has what have we done right
00:02:55.720 we've created this this ever-changing uh um ideology and thought of evolution that's i guess that's the
00:03:07.320 word in and of itself and i'm not going to go into too much there but it's a vacuum it's a vacuum that
00:03:13.420 they've had to fill and they've filled it with i mean currently gender ideology and i'm sure there's
00:03:18.880 other things out there that is that are um that are more of a minority in in uh in in respect to the
00:03:28.160 people that support that or or promote that in whatever part of the world but in the western
00:03:33.900 hemisphere this this this gender ideology has become a religion it's it's it's been fanatical 1.00
00:03:39.960 like it's crazy and thankfully it's being addressed because of the severe consequences of
00:03:45.680 those who've been harmed the worst by it and they're them speaking out so the gender ideology
00:03:52.640 is being addressed but it does reflect a greater shift um away from certain away from like communities
00:04:01.240 families and religions seem to be the most resistant to top-down kind of political influence
00:04:10.820 so if you fractionate people and obviously like if you look at this libertarian principle of like
00:04:20.680 we've got to protect the individual the or like the institution of the individual is we've got to
00:04:26.660 protect that but at the same time we can't throw out some of these core pillars of what society
00:04:34.600 like what we've developed society with and we've had strong family units strong community units and
00:04:43.680 the community through religion as well and if you look at early canada early united states
00:04:49.900 the role of the government at the federal level was it was a little bit more hands-off
00:04:56.280 on people's day-to-day activities and you'd have a shared purpose that people would volunteer effort
00:05:03.920 for a common goal to improve their communities to improve their religious circle or their extended
00:05:11.400 family and right now we're not seeing the same drive because we've eroded these institutions
00:05:18.580 and i i feel like as you erode that down and unless we do something to either rebuild some of these
00:05:29.060 communities which we're we're seeing a little little bit of right now but unless we really get these the
00:05:35.900 communities and families strengthened what's like what's replacing it is top-down government control
00:05:43.500 and ideologies weaponized through through governments too and there can be whatever selfish means
00:05:51.620 but people are more easily controlled when these structures are not there oh 100 100 100
