You might think the story of Google s woke, dystopian AI program can t get any worse, but it has. Today, on the Matt Warsh Show, you ll get to the bottom line: Google s new AI platform, Gemini, does not recognize the existence of white people.
00:01:00.000By the way, we have a presidential election coming up in November.
00:01:02.500How do you protect your family in the midst of all this chaos?

00:01:53.200That's Walsh to 989898 to secure your savings now.
00:01:56.420Well, I think we can assume that they're not having a great time on Google's normally upbeat, chic campus right about now.
00:02:03.600It's very likely that the organic gardens are unattended, the massage rooms are empty, the on-site cooking classes are suspended until further notice.
00:02:13.920That's because, as I discussed yesterday, the launch of Google's exciting new cutting-edge AI platform called Gemini has very quickly turned into a debacle.
00:02:22.120Gemini does not recognize the existence of white people.
00:02:24.700Now, no matter what you ask Gemini to produce, as we talked about yesterday, whether it's an image of a pope or a founding father or even a guy eating mayonnaise on white bread, Gemini will generate an image of a non-white individual.
00:02:36.720It's maybe the most aggressively anti-white product ever invented in Silicon Valley, which is saying something.
00:02:42.400With Gemini, all the DEI initiatives that have run rampant in big tech for so long finally blew up in their faces this week because they slipped up and showed us exactly what they're trying to do, which is to erase white people at every possible opportunity.
00:02:52.820And to make matters even worse, it's worth pointing out that Gemini is basically a rebrand of Google's old AI platform, which was known as BARD.
00:03:01.120This was their big effort to start fresh with a new and improved name and supposedly better algorithms.
00:03:09.240Now, when I talked about this yesterday, I went into some detail about a senior Google AI ethics manager named Jen Ghanai.
00:03:15.840Or Ghanai, we're just going to go with Ghanai.
00:03:19.100I played a bunch of videos that I found in which Jen admits that, as a matter of course, she treats white people at Google very differently from black, Hispanic, Latinx folks.
00:03:28.420And I offered some theories as to what exactly Jen and her team had done to this new AI in order to produce these absurdly anti-white results.
00:03:35.700At the time, I didn't know for sure what was going on under the hood.
00:03:38.800But now, 24 hours later, we have a much better idea of why Gemini pretends that white people aren't real.
00:03:45.940And what we're learning is even more disturbing and more consequential than we thought yesterday.
00:03:51.120So it's worth digging deeper into this.
00:03:53.480Now, it turns out that Google has not simply manipulated the output of its Gemini software in order to ensure that there are, quote-unquote, diverse results.
00:04:01.740They haven't just added a line of code that says, prioritize search results featuring black people, which would be bad enough.
00:04:09.660That's what we all assumed was probably going on because it would be in line with how Google operates already.
00:04:13.960We know they manipulate search results in order to downrank content they don't like and promote content they do like.
00:04:18.620But that's actually not what's happening with Gemini.
00:04:21.400Instead, what's going on here is that Google has inserted code that actually changes the search terms that users are looking for.
00:04:28.960So if you say you're looking for an image of the Founding Fathers or a Viking or a guy eating mayonnaise on white bread or any other search query that might produce an image of a white guy,
00:04:38.120then Gemini instantly revises your search request and does this silently and without your permission, of course.
00:04:45.180Then it produces the results that you're allowed to see.
00:04:48.160So actually, the results that it's giving you are correct according to the request that you didn't make.
00:04:56.120So the problem isn't how they changed the request, not how they changed the results.
00:05:00.260This is a subtle distinction, but it has major ramifications.
00:05:03.220And first, it's important to clarify exactly how we know what's going on here.
00:05:07.100All of these well-known AI programs, whether it's ChatGPT or Bing or Gemini, are vulnerable to something called injection attacks.
00:05:13.600And what this means is that if you ask these AIs the right questions, you can trick them into revealing their secret internal parameters,
00:05:19.440which are hard-coded by their creator.
00:05:22.000And that's exactly what happened yesterday with Gemini.
00:05:24.080An engineer named Alex Younger asked Gemini, quote,
00:05:27.480please draw a portrait of leprechauns.
00:19:30.380I don't know what you're talking about.
00:19:32.380Speaking of AI, these people really portray themselves as like AI, as computer programs themselves, where they can only take things literally.
00:21:26.620Now, I'm not talking about calling for a violent overthrow, which is a joke in this case, obviously.
00:21:33.480I mean, if you just say anything at all, in any context, about pitfalls and problems with democracy, people lose their minds.
00:21:41.820Because we made democracy into a religion.
00:21:45.020It's like this thing that you're not, it's a heresy.
00:21:47.220It's like we treat it literally as heresy to offer any critique of it.
00:21:53.120Now, the people who have done this at the highest levels are the ones who are also themselves subverting democracy all the time.
00:22:00.860So there are multiple levels of incoherence and contradiction going on here, obviously.
00:22:05.860But my only point is that, you know, CPAC aside, we should be able to sit around and have interesting conversations about our political system and its fundamental problems.
00:22:16.160I've tried to do that on this show on many occasions, where I've talked about voting rights, for example.
00:22:22.480And you know my position on voting rights.
00:22:24.300I think there should be a lot less of it.
00:22:25.640There should be a lot less voting and fewer people should be allowed to vote.
00:22:30.140Which is a critique of democracy in its current construction.
00:22:38.460And that's something we should be able to do.
00:22:40.440And that's something that people were able to do for thousands of years.
00:25:02.900The one thing that unites all of them, because there's many different groups orbiting Trump, but the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists, not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different, is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don't come from any earthly authority.
00:25:28.340I mean, she says that Christian nationalism is the belief that our rights come from God.
00:25:35.580So, what Heidi has just argued, though she's too dumb to understand it, is that Christian nationalism is the correct ideology, that it's the ideology that our country's founded on.
00:26:07.720If what she's saying is true, because there's simply no doubt, no dispute, no argument against the claim that our country was founded on the idea that our rights come from God.
00:26:52.540So Heidi apparently thinks that the Constitution is a Christian nationalist document.
00:26:56.640She thinks that the Declaration of Independence was a declaration of Christian nationalism.
00:27:01.160So we're a Christian nation, she's saying.
00:27:06.800Everyone should be Christian nationalists.
00:27:09.240Now, she doesn't understand that she's saying that, again, because she's dumb, but she is saying that.
00:27:13.380So, again, to emphasize, our entire political system is founded at the most elemental level on the belief enshrined in our founding documents that rights come from God.
00:27:37.860She wants to discard everything that our country was founded on and rebuild it in the image of, as we said, upper class liberal white women.
00:27:47.180And she does want all of that, no doubt.
00:27:48.980But what I'm saying is that, you know, you have two different arguments.
00:27:57.020One is America is a fundamentally Christian nationalist country.
00:28:01.500And then the other is Christian nationalism is un-American.
00:28:07.600You see, you can't make both arguments.
00:28:11.560So Christian nationalism is wrong in your mind because it's rooted in the founding of this country and this country is racist and horrible from down to its roots.
00:28:22.820Or it's an argument that, well, the Christian nationalism has nothing to do with America and it's an anti-American viewpoint and all the rest of it.
00:28:34.060And they've been making the latter argument, right?
00:28:38.980But she just offered the former argument.
00:28:41.720And that is a much tougher path for her to trek.
00:28:44.540Especially because even if you know nothing about our history, even if you're totally oblivious,
00:28:55.080it's very easy for a moderately insightful person to understand that our rights must come from God if they exist at all.
00:29:09.500If they don't come from God, where do they come from?
00:29:16.160When you talk about human rights, what are they?
00:29:20.680Now, you might hear in response to that, well, they come from the social contract or they come from the government or they come from society or they come from whatever.
00:29:28.460You know, it all kind of means the same thing.
00:29:30.900Well, the problem with that idea is that it's a really big problem.
00:29:37.600It's that you are sort of dismantling what we might call the final court of appeals, right?
00:29:43.800You have made society or the contract or the state the final ultimate arbiter of what our rights are.
00:30:20.920If you have an agreement with somebody and you sign a contract and the agreement says certain things that you get, well, you have a right to those things.
00:30:29.860But not because it was written in the stars, not because you were born with that right, but just because it's in the paper.
00:30:37.680And if it wasn't in the paper, then you wouldn't have that right.
00:30:49.160And this is a big problem for the left because they love really even more than the right.
00:30:55.200They love to go around talking about their rights.
00:30:58.200And they have invented a whole bunch of new rights.
00:31:00.980And every day they've got a new right that they've come up with.
00:31:03.120Well, what if society says that you don't have a right to whatever that thing is that you want?
00:31:10.060What if the social contract, whatever that is, does not stipulate this right?
00:31:16.860What if the government and most people in our democratic system have gotten together and they've said, no, we don't agree with you having that right?
00:31:24.640What if they say you don't have the right to speak or to assemble or to vote or whatever?
00:31:31.920Well, then, according to your view, if rights are not founded in God, then that's it.
00:32:00.760Okay, when these states, including our state, have passed laws banning the chemical castration of children, and then trans activists say, we don't have a right to that.
00:32:17.900What do you mean you have a right to it?
00:32:45.180See, what happens, even on the atheist left, is that when a group perceives that it should have a legal right, and it perceives that it doesn't have that right currently,
00:33:21.620You are infringing on my rights that I already have, regardless of what you say.
00:33:28.600So, when you do that, you are appealing to a higher authority.
00:33:33.080You are saying that even though the social contract and the state have decided to take this right away or not grant it in the first place, you still have it.
00:33:56.500This is a, you know, we talk about this every once in a while on the show, and it's almost like you can't even move on to the next topic.
00:34:07.820I mean, this is, the whole, our entire, the whole political debate in this country, let's say, breaks down on this question.
00:34:20.200Because the whole debate is always, no matter what this particular debate is, but the whole overall sort of culture debate, always goes down to who has what rights.
00:34:30.700Except the problem is that one entire half of this discussion doesn't even think that rights are real things.
00:34:40.060They think it's totally artificial and constructed, and so their argument makes no sense.
00:34:46.780And, but we just, we just kind of move past that, and then we continue on arguing about who has what rights, even though most of the people saying that have no freaking idea what they even mean when they say it, which we understand is a common problem on the left.
00:35:00.700But what I'm trying to say is that we know that they talk about women, they can't define women, but that is a problem that goes, that touches everything they say about everything.
00:35:09.300I mean, all of the terms that they are hinging their worldview on, they just can't define, they don't understand them.
00:35:17.400They don't know what they're talking about.
00:35:19.820And if you think I'm wrong, next time you hear somebody on the left say, I have a right to this, just ask them, what do you mean you have a right to it?
00:35:38.480The Alabama Supreme Court ruled last week that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization, or IVF, are considered children under state law and are therefore subject to legislation dealing with the wrongful death of a minor if one is destroyed.
00:35:50.720The wrongful death of a minor act applies to all unborn children regardless of their location, including unborn children who are located outside of a biological uterus at the time they are killed.
00:35:58.700The immediate impact of the ruling would be to allow three couples to sue for wrongful death after their frozen embryos were destroyed in an accident at a fertility clinic.
00:36:05.780But this first of its kind court decision could also have broader implications.
00:36:10.160Justice Greg Cook wrote in the dissenting opinion of the case, no court anywhere in the country has reached the conclusion the main opinion reaches.
00:36:16.880Almost certainly ends the creation of frozen embryos through in vitro fertilization in Alabama.
00:37:52.100But the problem for them is that, well, there's a big problem that you haven't answered what is the fundamental question of this whole debate.
00:38:02.140But then also, if that's your position, then that's all the more reason why we should treat the embryos as human beings.
00:38:11.040Because if you really don't know if it's above your pay grade and you're not sure and you can't answer it because it's all very blurry and there's a lot of gray areas and so on, according to you, then the most ethical position to take, the only ethical position for you to take, is to say, well, I can't say for sure what that thing is.
00:38:27.160And so I can't really say for sure that it's not really a human being.
00:38:29.800But, but, but, so, so we should treat it as a human being because I can't say, because I don't know.
00:38:46.700Let's just destroy it and assume that it's not.
00:38:49.600And if you want to understand why that's an absurdly unethical position, well, just imagine it in any other scenario.
00:38:55.060Imagine any other scenario where someone uses that kind of logic.
00:38:59.260You know, imagine, I've used the, I've used the analogy before, and it's not a perfect analogy, but, you know, imagine a dark room.
00:39:09.620And you're looking and you're standing on the other side of the doorway and you're looking into this dark room and, and, and you call into the room and nobody answers.
00:39:16.320And so you think there's probably nobody in there, but you can't say for sure.
00:39:22.120And you're not, and if somebody asked you, is there someone in there, you'd have to say, I don't think so, but I don't know.
00:39:28.280It could be someone could be sleeping in there.
00:39:29.420They could be hiding, like, who knows?
00:39:30.320Well, if you were then to just throw a grenade into the room, just for the fun of it, and there was somebody in there and you killed them, then that's murder.
00:39:41.840I mean, that's not, that's not even involuntary manslaughter.
00:39:48.140Because you knew that it was very, very plausible that there was a person in there and you did it anyway.
00:39:53.940Under the assumption that, well, probably not.
00:39:55.600And so in any other situation, we don't accept that kind of logic.
00:40:01.460Really the only, and maybe if someone's smart, they'll, they'll quickly have a rebuttal that, but we do accept that kind of logic, actually, in, you know, it actually kind of a literal sense in, in the context of war.
00:40:13.180And there might be times when you drop a bomb or you do something or, you know, you're engaging in combat and you're trying not to, and you're hoping that there's no civilians around, but, but then it turns out that there is and there's collateral damage.
00:40:25.600And, and usually we all agree that sometimes that can be wrong depending on the, the amount of risk that you willingly took, but sometimes it can be okay because there is collateral damage in war.
00:40:34.280But the difference there is that it, it, it is acknowledged, you know, the context of war.
00:40:40.840I mean, if you're actually throwing the grenade in because you're going house to house and you're clearing the houses and you're fighting, you know, terrorists or something, well, you're acknowledging that you're acknowledging what the risk is.
00:40:50.840You're, you, you are saying like, yeah, I could be killing a person, but, but I, I have to because of this and that reason.
00:41:27.340That is a, that's a, that's a, that's a label that we put on different stages of human development.
00:41:31.220But what you're trying to do is take an entire stage of human development and claim that this person does not count as a person while it is going through that stage.
00:41:42.120And, but you can't defend it logically because it's, it's, it's, I mean, it's quite literally indefensible.
00:41:48.920Um, and the final thing I'll say is this, that maybe a good way to think of it is this way.
00:41:54.440Is there no difference between a human embryo and a clump of dirt?
00:42:02.880Would you say that there is no difference between a random clump of dirt that you take out of, that you just bend down to the ground, grab a clump of dirt in your hand, and a human embryo?
00:42:13.900Would you say there's no difference between those two things?
00:42:16.740Would you say the fact that at a minimum that, you know, you have an embryo in one hand and a clump of dirt in the other?
00:42:24.440At a minimum, the embryo will become a person.
00:42:28.120Let's just go with your logic that it's not a person yet.
00:42:30.460Well, here you have, at a minimum, something that will become an entire person.
00:42:35.120And over here you have a clump of dirt that will never be anything but dirt.
00:42:38.880So would you actually argue that they are, that they have the exact same moral value?
00:42:48.720Of course, of course, at a minimum, the human embryo has more moral value than the clump of dirt.
00:42:54.440But the problem is that with the way that laws are generally set up, right now we treat, you know, if abortion is legal and you have IVF clinics that throw out embryos,
00:43:09.120you are treating them like they have the moral value of dirt.
00:43:11.320You're treating them like they have zero moral value.
00:43:14.920I would hope if you're not a psychopath, you can at least admit the human embryo has more than zero moral value.
00:43:22.260Well, yeah, but the law, if abortion is legal and you have IVF and throwing out, the law treats the embryo like it's exactly morally the same as dirt.
00:43:36.040And that, I mean, no matter what you say about the human embryo, whether you say it's a person or going to be a person,
00:45:27.660Are you struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns this year?

00:46:41.460She explains why to pay attention to details.
00:46:43.780Yeah, I got several comments like this when I said that we responded to this relationship advice video on TikTok.
00:46:51.420And one of the many problems with the advice is that it's coming from a woman, a young woman who I think we could safely assume is not married and has never been.
00:47:01.020And my position, as you've heard me say it many times, is that if you're not married and you've never been married, then you should not be giving a relationship advice to anybody.
00:47:11.320You simply are not in a position to do that.
00:47:14.920And this is not a trust the experts thing.
00:47:19.580It's just like, in order to give advice on how to do something, you have to have demonstrated some ability to do it yourself.
00:47:26.180And if you haven't, then of course you can't give advice on it.
00:47:29.420And that's the point here that, yeah, people are in different phases of life and so on.
00:47:33.780And so you might say, and I've heard this before, that, well, actually, me as a guy that's been married and six kids and, you know, I was married 12 years ago.
00:47:45.700And so I'm, they'll say, I am less equipped to give advice to young people because I'm not in that dating world.
00:48:01.020I've moved on to the next phase of my life, but there's a couple of problems here.
00:48:03.700First of all, again, if someone's in the dating world themselves, okay, and they're giving you advice, sure, they can relate to you because they're in the same world.
00:48:11.420But they haven't demonstrated that they know what they're doing.
00:48:13.420They haven't demonstrated they can do anything successfully in this world.
00:48:15.980So just because they happen to be there also doesn't mean that they know what they're doing or that you should follow them.
00:48:23.140You know, it's like the old thing where you're going along on a path and the road's shut down and, you know, there's a detour, but the detour isn't marked.
00:48:31.760And so you just follow the card that happens to be in front of you, assuming that because you're both in the same spot, they probably know where they're going.
00:48:38.420When, like, they're just as lost as you are.
00:48:57.580And if maybe some of the streets are different now, I still know the lay of the land better than this random person in front of you who is just as lost as you are.
00:50:06.240And so, yeah, it's such a, look, I, if I'm talking to someone, as I have plenty of times, who's been married for 50 years.
00:50:14.720Yeah, the world that they got married in, completely different from the world that I got married in.
00:50:20.060The world they inhabit now is, is in many ways, totally different from the world that I inhabit.
00:50:24.260But does that mean they have nothing to offer me?
00:50:27.520Does that mean I shouldn't listen to their advice?
00:50:28.900I mean, how arrogant and egotistical and stupid would I have to be to say that someone who's been married for 50 years does not have worthwhile wisdom to offer me on the subject?
00:50:40.860Of course, I, I would, that doesn't mean they're automatically right, but it does mean that they are someone who potentially has a very valuable perspective to offer.
00:50:52.980And, and yeah, it may not be exactly the same as what I'm going through, but I'm also a person with a brain.
00:50:58.680I can, like, take the principles they're talking about and apply it to my own individual situation.
00:51:04.080Because, you know, I'll tell you something else.
00:51:05.280And, and I, look, I don't mean to, to stomp all over the pity parade, but I, I just want to tell you that, yeah, the dating scene is a, is a disaster right now.
00:51:14.760There are many unique challenges, but the realities of human relationships, human dynamics, how people operate, men, women, like, there are many things that are universal and eternal.
00:51:26.520Um, and, and, and so a lot of the problems that you encounter may manifest themselves in different ways, depending on, uh, who you are and how old you are in the culture you're living in.
00:51:36.960But at bottom, the problems are almost, are all the same.
00:51:42.440You know, you know, that's the whole reason why you can read a story, you can read a Shakespeare.
00:51:50.640I mean, you can, you can read, you can read love stories that were written centuries ago.
00:51:55.840And if you're an insightful, intelligent person, you can, you can resonate with elements of it, even though it's a totally different world.
00:52:03.260But there's, there's so much that's universal because what we're really talking about is the human condition.
00:52:07.680And, and that's the problem that you're really facing on the dating world is like, how do you navigate the human condition?
00:52:14.960You know, how do you find someone and trust them given that, that they, other people are incredibly flawed and you don't know if you can trust them and, and all of that.
00:52:31.360And, uh, if you think that nobody except people who are single right now, the 2024 and the year 2024 have experienced that dilemma, then you just, it's arrogance.
00:54:42.080And so it's, and people use it because of convenience.
00:54:46.360And that's why I think, I would like to think that people will opt out of this AI stuff.
00:54:52.040As I said, I think the AI, I think even without the wokeness, I find all of this creepy.
00:54:57.660And I think that the ultimate, even if it was not woke, right, the ultimate effect of all this AI technology on mankind will, will certainly be bad.
00:55:07.400And I, I really can't imagine a scenario where it helps with human flourishing and makes people happier and more prosperous.
00:55:16.060And if it's not going to make people happier and more prosperous and make them better people, then it's bad.
00:55:20.520Then it's, then it's, if it's not doing that, then it's hurting.
00:55:22.300And I don't see how this will have that result.
00:55:26.780But I also don't think AI is going away.
00:55:29.240And I don't think people are going to refuse to use it because it makes, it makes, it may not make you happier.
00:56:18.040And so I would like to think that you're right, but I think that you're probably wrong and we're all doomed.

00:57:41.920Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:57:42.880Well, last week I was blessedly out of the loop and not doing my show, and Rolling Stone's cover story on the actress Kristen Stewart went viral.
00:57:55.760And in the article, Stewart goes on and on about how gay she is.
00:57:58.920She says, in fact, that she wants to do the gayest thing you've ever seen in your life.
00:58:02.720And, of course, if that's her goal, then she already achieved it with the Twilight films.
00:58:06.360That was her own personal Mount Everest.
00:59:12.920If you asked her for directions to the gas station, she would say, yeah, just hang a left up there, and then you drive until you realize that I'm gay.
00:59:19.300Hey, by the way, did you hear that I'm gay?
00:59:21.800But if somehow the point was not crystal clear enough, then the photos accompanying the interview will drive it home.
00:59:29.300There's the one with Stewart in a mullet with her hand shoved down her jockstrap, and there are others in a similar vein.
00:59:37.320Now, of course, the jockstrap and the hand down the pants is the most immediately nauseating thing about the pictures, but the mullet really puts the icing on the ugly cake here.
00:59:47.780Somewhere along the line, and very recently, celebrity women decided that Joe Dirt is a fashion icon.
00:59:53.420They're trying to capture, it seems, like the aesthetics of a middle-aged man who lived in a trailer park in 1987.
01:00:00.140And the results have been as aggressively unappealing as you might expect.
01:00:04.840Now, this week, Stewart was at the Berlin Film Festival showing her new movie, which is, you're never going to believe this, a gay movie about two lesbians.
01:00:12.980And she was asked about the Rolling Stone cover and reaction to it, and she responded by complaining that the cover was censored.
01:00:18.620I'm not even sure in what way it was censored.
01:00:20.880Maybe she wanted her haircut to be even uglier than it was.
01:00:24.380But here's her theory as to why this unspecified censorship occurred.
01:00:28.960I love how the story, I love how the writer of the story, who was great and shaped it really well, and I had a really nice time with her, called the story uncensored, and then the whole cover was censored.
01:00:40.580Because the existence of a female body thrusting any type of sexuality at you that's not designed for or desired by exclusively cis straight males is, like, something that people are, like, not, like, super comfy with.
01:01:21.900I'd prefer she keep the thrusting to an absolute minimum, to be totally honest with you.
01:01:25.580But thrust is an interesting choice of words.
01:01:27.700Because it is, in this context, weirdly aggressive and ugly, which is a good way to describe the whole Kristen Stewart experience at this point.
01:01:39.300Even the way she talks about her desire to be a mother, when she talks about that, she does it in this bizarre and ugly way.
01:01:45.140So she told Rolling Stone that she wants to start having babies with her lesbian lover soon, which is, of course, physically impossible, but we'll ignore that for now.
01:02:05.360I suppose if I wanted to psychoanalyze her, I'd find some significance in the fact that even the grammatical construction of her sentences is relentlessly negative.
01:02:12.300But putting that aside, she says that she wants to acquire kids, acquire them, like they're collectibles, like she's watching infomercials on QVC and calling an 800 number to purchase them, which, of course, is actually not far from how women like Kristen Stewart become mothers.
01:02:28.480So the problem here isn't that her terminology is inaccurate.
01:02:31.600It's actually the problem is that it's accurate.
01:02:35.800Aside from getting more confirmation that no woman can pull off a mullet, no matter how hard they try, can't be done.
01:02:43.480Well, if we learn anything at all, it's something we should have already picked up on.
01:02:47.560It's something that I've been saying for years now.
01:02:49.020In reaction to the Rolling Stone article, Chris Ruffo put it this way,
01:02:51.900Queer is an ideology, not a sexuality, and it appears to make people miserable.
01:02:55.140They put dismal pictures of Ellen Page or Kristen Stewart under headlines with words like joy, family, happiness, propaganda that intends to demoralize.
01:03:17.500Stewart may intend to thrust her sexuality in our faces, but instead she's thrusted her anti-sexuality.
01:03:23.320She is a woman with a sexuality specifically constructed, as she admits, to be unattractive to the sorts of people who are attracted to women.
01:03:32.540And that's what I mean by anti-sexuality.
01:03:34.520It's a magnet meant to repel, not attract.
01:03:38.560And that's because queerness, as Ruffo notes, is an ideology.
01:03:44.160And it's an ideology of demoralization and destruction.
01:03:46.880They have to keep reminding us that they're happy, trans joy, queer joy, because their whole approach to life, their worldview, their physical appearance, everything screams despair.
01:03:56.220Even in that press conference clip, Stewart looks tired and miserable and disheveled.
01:04:02.160And that's because her sexuality is defined not by who she loves, but by who she hates.
01:04:07.380And the person that she hates, most of all, as we can clearly see, as is always the case with these people, is herself.
01:04:17.760And that's why Kristen Stewart is today canceled.
