On today's episode of the Krusty Canuck Podcast, we discuss Boris Johnson's victory in the British election, the new Tory government in Britain, and more Hollywood mumbo jumbo. Stay tuned!
00:00:37.460That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Equally worthless. All that good stuff. Yes.
00:00:41.760I'm your host, Krusty Canuck, and this beautiful December 16th, 2019.
00:00:47.260Congratulations to Britain and its victory for voting a conservative party.
00:00:51.880I'm traditionally conservative with liberal values, all that good stuff, but it's good to see that our brothers and sisters, correction, in Britain, are getting ahead with common sense.
00:01:05.100Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Britain is starting to wake up and smelling the coffee and their own tea.
00:01:11.480Now, I'm not saying a conservative government is always right, nor am I saying a liberal government is always right.
00:01:18.300However, when you look at all the SJWBS and all the other social justice compromises that have been going on in Britain the past five, six years, or more than that,
00:01:29.580it's good to see that the majority of Brits want common sense.
00:01:32.620Now, whether you like Mr. Boris Johnson or not, he speaks from the heart.
00:01:39.040He's a patriot, loves his country, so be it.
00:01:43.020It'd be nice to see more politicians in the Western Hemisphere actually care about their nations rather than care about virtue.
00:01:50.960Now, I don't understand the whole Brexit deal.
00:01:55.060I know the majority of Brits said, yes, let's get the hell out of the EU, and let's get the ball rolling,
00:02:00.040and all these opposition parties sitting in their hands saying, what about NHS, what about this, what about that,
00:02:05.580oh my God, my feelings, you know, and it looks to be a shit show, folks.
00:02:12.940It seems like ourselves here in Canada and our friends in the States and our friends in Britain and Germany
00:02:17.740and every other great Western democracy is feeling the sting of all this virtue and this identity politics,
00:11:18.460Let's make it all about girl power and stuff like that.
00:11:21.040And, there's no doubt in my mind that a female can fight off an attacker.
00:11:24.960But, in the same sense, when you make or take a great story like Black Christmas, which was back in the 70s, and turning it into political fucking dogma, like what they did with Ghostbusters in 2016, like what they have done with Charlie's Angels, and what they're doing with the Star Wars franchise, I think people are getting tired of being preached at.
00:11:59.980You know, between all the Boris Johnsons and the shithead liberals we have here and the conservatives that speak spending money and keep taking coin, and to all the people out there that want to go see a good movie to escape all this bullshit, even that format's compromised now, too.
00:12:17.920You can't just see a movie to escape things anymore.
00:12:20.580Like, I remember as a kid when Star Wars was coming out, the excitement and the captivation and, you know, the trials of Luke Skywalker trying to identify who his father is, and then you find out who his father is, and then, you know, the sci-fi extravaganza of all the battles.
00:13:00.300There are some people who disagree with the prequels, okay, but there's other people that enjoy the stories, and really they are.
00:13:07.160But now, we keep looking at the new Star Wars, the Disney Star Wars, especially when Lucas sold it to Disney for, what, was it just under $4 billion or just over $4 billion?
00:13:18.620We kind of knew things were going to change, you know?
00:13:26.440And unfortunately, there's a lot of critics out there who are not happy with Ray and Poe and the little pogs and the political correctness and social justice warrior ideas going into the stories.
00:13:38.160You know, it's supposed to be good versus evil and how people are overcoming and adapting to situations and people taking responsibility and stepping up and fighting the good fight.
00:13:48.380Now, we're just worried about identity and feelings and what representation are in these movies, you know?
00:13:55.500Elizabeth Banks was quoted saying, with Charlie's Angels, well, you know, it's just misogynist men that make it look bad.
00:14:03.840And I'm thinking, well, maybe you made a shit fucking movie.
00:14:06.900You know, maybe you're too busy Mary suing all these female characters without giving them any kind of background or any kind of character recognition or doing an actual character study on these characters you create.
00:14:20.480You know, that was a format for us when we were writing stories in school.
00:16:36.940You know, if you want to go spend $10, $15 to go to a movie and be preached at 24-fucking-7, you know, then it's, you know, you're wasting people's time.
00:18:35.040So, it just goes to show how our friends in Britain are getting toward that, uh, are getting tired of that leftist dichotomy and everything, too.
00:18:43.940You know, don't worry, we have actors here in Canada and in the United States, you know, polling for this and polling for that
00:21:47.120But, you know, to watch some hot girl in a wig and hide your high heels, kick ass, and blame men for all their problems.
00:21:54.420Or do you want to see a good story where, you know, some young girl or some young guy comes over, uh, or overcomes insurmountable odds to triumph by his or her own free will?
00:22:12.560But in the meantime, you know, I'm just getting so sick and tired of, of people screaming to the heavens every time they don't get what they want.
00:22:20.560And, uh, there's a lot of people out here in Alberta and Saskatchewan and the rest of the, rest of the country who were not happy with, uh, Mr. Trudeau's decisions and the amount of debt they've accumulated.
00:22:33.100And we're not seeing too many people scream to the heavens now, are we?
00:22:36.680But we are seeing more and more young kids waking up to the fact that, uh, we can't be lied to anymore, which is a good thing.
00:22:43.540And we're seeing more and more, uh, generation Xers, you know, my generation, and some boomers standing up and saying, hey, fuck this.
00:22:55.140You know, whether it's, uh, going to a, a terrible movie or listening to a politician speak or any speaker for that matter, you know?
00:23:05.520So I think things are starting to wake up just a little bit, not enough, but enough for people to start talking, which is a good thing, you know?
00:23:13.620So once again, I congratulate my British friends, my brothers and sisters over there on a well-fought victory.
00:23:50.120You know, I love all of its peoples, ladies and gentlemen.
00:23:53.360You know, like the theme song says, there's no racial bigotry here, but we're all worthless in our own way.
00:23:59.240But we, which opens up the door to proving ourselves too, which opens the door to being optimistic and trying to be the best that we can with what we have.
00:24:09.660You know, and, uh, I'm getting tired of this leftist mentality where, you know, you gotta think like they think, and you gotta walk like they walk, and talk like they walk, the whole groupthink mentality.
00:24:22.180And every communist dictator's tried that, and every fascist dictator's tried that.
00:24:27.740But, uh, you know, guys like myself and my friends and other veterans and, and seniors, oh yeah, we're the fascists, all right.
