Trans activists want to kill me for making What is a Woman. They've told me this themselves. What does that say about gender ideology? Also, Texas legislators moved to ban child drag shows. And AOC officially endorses the term Latinx, or Latinx. In our daily cancellation, a college professor cancels pirates, including fictional pirates. They re all canceled. Apparently they weren t woke enough. Who knew?
00:02:35.200And it enables us to make things that literally nobody else anywhere else could or would ever make like What is a Woman.
00:02:42.640Now, one of the reasons why nobody would make What is a Woman is because the subject matter is, of course, radioactive.
00:02:50.240I mean, gender ideology is the ultimate third rail.
00:02:53.600It's supercharged, considered untouchable by most people.
00:02:56.680There are increasing numbers of people, I think, who will kind of dance around the edges of the issue,
00:03:01.840talk about sports teams and bathrooms and that sort of thing.
00:03:05.120But very few people will go after the heart of this thing.
00:03:09.400It's one thing to suggest that males don't belong in women's bathrooms.
00:03:13.820It's another thing to call into question the actual underlying premise of gender ideology and transgenderism.
00:03:19.140And the thing is, as it turns out, even if you're trying to stay around the edges, it doesn't really work because you can't make an argument against males and women's bathrooms without questioning the underlying premise.
00:03:29.540If you're trying to keep the underlying premise intact and say nothing about that, then you've already surrendered the entire issue.
00:03:36.460So, that's what we try to do in this film, is go after the underlying premise.
00:03:41.760And because we succeeded so dramatically in exposing the hollowness at the core of this ideology, and because we knew we had succeeded, we also knew that there would be blowback to releasing this.
00:03:56.400Though, of course, there was never any thought given to not releasing it.
00:03:59.380This is a bomb, in effect, metaphorically, and it's a bomb that we knew we had to detonate, come what may.
00:04:04.700And as for what is coming my way now, there are the expected things that we've talked about, you know, coordinated campaigns to deplatform me, lies and smears and defamation being spread about me.
00:04:15.020Even to the point of leftists photoshopping tweets to try to embarrass and libel me.
00:04:20.260Every day I see a new tweet that I never tweeted that's making the rounds online.
00:04:26.580This was the extent of the backlash until the last day or two when the death threats started rolling in.
00:04:33.380We have our security team tracking those, and the police have been notified, might have a little bit more specific on those threats soon.
00:04:42.840But for now, I'll just leave it at that.
00:04:45.800Also, I should note that I'm an avid fan of the Second Amendment and more than willing to make full use of my constitutional rights should any of these keyboard warriors decide to try to, you know, try their luck in the real world.
00:04:55.380But the death threats are sometimes not as revealing as the death wishes.
00:05:01.420And there are a great many of those on Twitter right now directed at me.
00:05:05.960Most people are, most people anyway, are hesitant to make explicit physical threats.
00:05:10.420And the people who have not been hesitant to make those physical threats are going to learn why they ought to have been.
00:05:18.060But a lot of people are, you know, much more confident and feel a lot better about, especially trans activists, who are some of the most vicious and cowardly people on the planet.
00:05:27.620They're not as shy about telling you what they hope happens to you because they feel like that gives them a little bit of cover.
00:05:38.380And here's how leftists and trans activists responded.
00:05:40.700I'm going to read a few here, just a few examples.
00:05:43.080One says, seeing fascist bigots scared for their life is so satisfying.
00:05:47.400Another, hopefully the cops are as effective at protecting you and your family as they were at protecting the children and teachers in Uvalde.
00:07:10.060They say, I've committed genocide with a documentary.
00:07:14.680My documentary is apparently, it's like that movie The Ring.
00:07:17.200You know, remember that in the early 2000s, where if you watched it, a monster would come out of the screen and kill you in some unspecified but really disturbing way?
00:07:27.280That's what they seem to think anyway.
00:07:29.640But they could find out for sure if they went to whatiswoman.com and became a subscriber today.
00:07:34.620Now, I want to make just a few points about this.
00:07:38.320And the first is that there are some who will sort of dismiss this by saying that, well, this is how people are on the Internet.
00:07:51.820Yes, I mean, anyone on any side of any issue may receive a death threat or two if they get a lot of negative attention for something they said.
00:08:00.240And, yes, there are anonymous trolls posting heinous stuff on both sides.
00:08:04.300But anyone who's ever poked the gender ideology beehive knows that trans activists are uniquely vicious and feel especially entitled to say and do whatever they want.
00:08:18.720As someone who has a lot of experience poking various beehives, including literal beehives, as we talked about yesterday, I can say for sure that no group is quite like the trans activists in this regard.
00:08:41.660So why is it like this with the left-wing trans activists?
00:08:46.280Well, it's partly because they're amoral narcissists, partly because they've been emboldened by social media platforms and by every other institution to act out in whatever way they want without consequence.
00:08:58.480And it's partly because, as previously mentioned, they've told themselves this delusional story, and been told this delusional story, that anyone who criticizes their worldview is a clear and present danger to their very physical existence.
00:09:17.280One trans activist summarized this delusion quite well in response to my tweet about the death threats I'd received.
00:09:51.240At least they want to believe it, and they've worked very hard to fool themselves into taking this kind of delusional, hysterical nonsense seriously.
00:09:59.440This is the consequence, by the way, the intended consequence of the words are violence nonsense.
00:10:08.740It gives them the excuse to be even more vile and vicious than they were already inclined to be.
00:10:14.340It's also the consequence of our societal obsession with affirmation.
00:10:18.380You know, these activists have come to believe that they have a God-given human right to be affirmed.
00:10:26.840That is, to have everyone in the world agree with them and reinforce their self-perception.
00:10:32.700And they are so convinced of this notion that when they encounter a non-affirming opinion or thought or film, they take it as a threat to their lives.
00:10:41.500They don't know how to not be affirmed, right?
00:10:45.320Like, most of us, I encounter stuff all the time that doesn't exactly affirm me and my beliefs.
00:13:39.460It says a Texas state legislator announced on Monday that he'll be introducing legislation to ban children from being subjected to drag shows after images from a bar inside Texas went viral over the weekend and sparked national outrage.
00:13:50.960We talked about this yesterday, obviously, to lead the show, the drag show for children at a bar in Texas.
00:13:56.580State Representative Brian Slayton says the events of this past weekend were horrifying and show a disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with sexualizing young children.
00:14:06.740As a father of two young children, I would never take my children to a drag show.
00:14:11.260And I know Speaker Dade Phelan and the rest of my Republican colleagues wouldn't either.
00:14:17.400Slayton's remarks come after a gay bar in Dallas generated national outrage with the drag show we talked about.
00:14:21.820But Slayton continued by noting that it was not enough for Texas Republicans to protect their own children and it was their responsibility to put an end to the sexualization that was happening across Texas.
00:14:31.980Quote, I promised my voters that I would stand up for their values and fight to protect Texas kids.
00:14:36.260I was reelected on that promise and I intend to keep it by authoring legislation to defend kids from being subjected to drag shows and other inappropriate events.
00:14:43.780Now, I think this is great for a couple of reasons and we'll talk about that, but I will also note that, as mentioned yesterday, there already is legislation on the books in Texas that makes this illegal.
00:14:56.920It's actually, there's lots of legislation that makes this illegal everywhere because this is sexual exploitation of children.
00:15:06.940And at least according to the letter of the law, even if the law isn't enforced, sexual exploitation of children is illegal everywhere.
00:15:14.600Still goes on because the law is not enforced, but it is illegal.
00:15:17.640And then in Texas in particular, they passed a law last year that specifically states that's quote unquote sexually oriented businesses and a gay bar with a big sign, neon sign that says it's not going to lick itself, certainly qualifies as a sexually oriented business.
00:15:36.880Sexually oriented businesses in Texas, according to a law passed last year, cannot accept patrons under patrons under the age of 21, not even 18 year olds.
00:15:47.640And so, and so that's enough right there to enforce the law.
00:15:51.240You could revoke their license, arrest people, but they're not going to do that.
00:15:56.480And so, you know, maybe you, you, so you come up with legislation that's much more explicit and targeted and says, no, no, no.
00:16:02.400Okay, just so you know, you're, you're not allowed to bring children to a drag show.
00:16:09.560We shouldn't need to be that specific about it because it should be obvious, but if that's what's necessary,
00:16:15.500then it's a good thing that this law is going to be written.
00:16:18.700And there's another, there's another reason too, why, um, why I think it's good to, to make laws like this.
00:16:24.380And I think Republicans all across the country in every state should follow suit and make specific laws that say you can't bring your kid to a drag show.
00:16:35.140And the reason that you want to do it, even though, again, it's, it's already illegal according to the letter of law of the law in any state.
00:16:43.360Um, but you pass the law anyway, because number one, it should hopefully provide some extra protection for, for these children.
00:16:55.520You know, the, the law enforcers can't, can't find a way around it.
00:17:01.620If you're, if you're that explicit about it, because now they can always say, well, is this really a sexually oriented business?
00:17:09.680But the other advantage to passing a law like this is a, it's a good strategic move because it puts Democrats in the position of openly defending child drag shows, which is what they're going to do.
00:17:29.140In fact, it's what they've, they've already started doing this.
00:17:31.740There are, uh, you know, accounts on social media from relatively prominent people on the left already, you know, offering explicit defenses of children at drag shows, or at least pretending to be kind of, well, you know, I don't understand the criticism.
00:17:49.860Maybe someone can explain the criticism to me.
00:17:52.480It's not apparent to me why this is a problem.
00:17:54.080Trying to strike a, you know, quote unquote, moderate position when there is no moderate position on child drag shows.
00:18:01.380There's just like the right position and the wrong position.
00:18:04.240And if you're not holding the right position, then it's the wrong position.
00:18:09.980So already you're starting to see, but if you, if you now have Republican legislators who are, uh, passing laws like this, that's going to be a situation for the left and for the Democrats where either they can agree and they can say, okay, you know what?
00:18:40.720And they're not going to agree with Republicans because they, they all actually do favor, uh, child drag shows.
00:18:46.680They see child drag shows as very useful tools, um, for sexualizing and indoctrinating kids.
00:18:57.140So you start passing laws like this and you are going to see if it's going to start with leftists in general activists, and then eventually it's going to make its way up to mainstream Democrats out offering full throated defenses of child drag shows.
00:19:39.400It would be just like the anti-groomer bill in Florida all over again, which was a, that was massive backlash.
00:19:45.640Uh, that was a massive backfire rather for, for the Democrats.
00:19:50.740You know, when they were lying at the bill about, about the bill at first, they were getting a little bit of traction, but then once conservatives kind of got everything together and started and, and, and got the messaging together.
00:20:01.400And people in the public started to understand what the bill actually accomplished, then they looked at Democrats and said, what, you people actually think that we should talk to five-year-olds about, about gender fluidity?
00:20:46.420Uh, although, although to be honest, I think it's a little bit of a false choice because you could be both, right?
00:20:51.440I mean, it's, but there's plenty of, I mean, there's plenty of women who are both.
00:20:53.900Um, on Monday, he was suspended without pay.
00:20:57.860The joke, which Weigel retweeted from YouTuber Cam Harless, was noticed by fellow Washington Post reporter, Felicia Sonmez.
00:21:05.260And she tweeted on her Twitter account, fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed.
00:21:12.780According to Slack messages obtained by CNN, Sonmez continued her crusade by tagging Weigel in an internal Slack channel and writing, I'm sorry, but what is this?
00:21:20.980She added that the retweet sent a confusing message about what the post's values are.
00:21:25.820Later on Friday, Weigel wrote, I just removed a tweet of an offensive joke.
00:21:29.260I apologize and didn't mean to cause any harm.
00:21:32.340And then the Washington Post, and then of course, here's the inevitable thing.
00:22:05.840I mean, they're pushing for him to get fired.
00:22:07.240They don't want him ever to come back because he dared to retweet a joke.
00:22:10.720So, by the way, Sonmez has said that, um, has now said that she, she has long, this were her words, said she's long considered Dave a friend.
00:22:34.020And then other media people, like someone named Goldie Taylor, uh, has, has been agreeing.
00:22:38.660I don't know if she works at the Washington Post because she has me blocked, but she also said that, uh, he's a friend, but then she also blasted him publicly over it.
00:22:45.520So, a couple, a couple of takeaways here, I think.
00:22:50.960The first, the first one is that, um, I have to say once again, as always, there's, there's no point in apologizing in situations like this.
00:23:47.540Find me, I want to find the woman who was actually traumatized, can't even leave her house, crumpled into a ball, you know, sobbing uncontrollably.
00:23:57.180And then you go up to her and you say, well, what's wrong?
00:24:15.660It's like, it's like that all, it's just, it's a pageant.
00:24:17.900It's like, this is like professional wrestling at this point.
00:24:20.000And, uh, I think what you should say is, no, I'm not going to, it was a joke.
00:24:26.300You, you all should apologize to me for not being able to take a joke.
00:24:32.300Like, what, what, what's wrong with you people?
00:24:36.240I mean, it's, it's, it, you know, women are always, we're, we're always hearing from feminists that, uh, that, uh, you know, women are just as funny as men.
00:24:44.400You know, I can remember, um, way back in, in the dark old days when Christopher Hitchens wrote that article.
00:24:50.820I think it was for Vanity Fair, I believe, where he made the argument that, uh, women aren't as funny as men.
00:25:30.520We're used to this kind of canceling campaign that happens when somebody says something and, and nobody really cares, but everyone pretends to care.
00:25:38.980And then you've got a bunch of strangers who are trying to cancel this person.
00:26:19.080There's no, there's no loyalty at all.
00:26:20.660But also Weigel himself is not a victim because he apologized.
00:26:26.980And, and these are the circles that he runs in.
00:26:29.020I mean, if you, if this is, if these are the people that you choose to be friends with, then this is what's going to happen to you.
00:26:35.580As soon as the, as soon as you slip up a little bit, if you, if you step out of line a little bit, according to what, according to the line, as they see it,
00:26:42.500like they have a line for you that you're supposed to walk in order to maintain this so-called friendship.
00:26:47.560And the moment that you waver a little bit off the line, then you're dead to them.
00:26:52.220They will just try to destroy your life.
00:27:26.900This is a lot more than just voting harder.
00:27:31.220And it also cuts to the basic structure of our democracy, if you can call it that.
00:27:38.860Because when you have a presidency, that's not determined by a popular vote, when you have a Senate where millions, tens of millions of people more can vote for one candidate, one party, rather one party, and still be in the minority.
00:28:04.340Where even in the House of Representatives, that's supposed to represent our population, that gets gerrymandered to all hell once and every once every 10 years in order to ensure an outsized minority rule and voice in both the House, the Senate and the presidency.
00:28:28.580It is becoming increasingly difficult for people to defend the stance that we live in a democracy, in a true one.
00:28:39.120And what the real truth of the matter is, is when you look at the fact.
00:29:31.240And it's just, it's really interesting the way that they, the way that they cut themselves off at the kneecaps.
00:29:37.000Because wouldn't they want to claim that, you know, the fact that they're in power, they have the White House, they have Congress.
00:29:44.160That wouldn't they want to claim that this is a reflection of the will of the people and it gives them a mandate, you know, to do what they want to do and to legislate.
00:29:58.780It's hard to claim both of those things.
00:30:00.240Now, she also, in a different video, she's promoting, and this is, I could be wrong, but I think it's one of the first times she's actually openly come out and addressed this issue of latinx, you know, gender inclusive language and this, especially the gender inclusive, the gender inclusivity that's trying, that's being imposed on the Spanish language, mostly by white liberal colonialists.
00:31:02.040I, I, I, the, the audio is so much better because she tries to give this kind of Spanish accent to Latinx, which is not a word at all.
00:31:13.920And it's not even a word that can be said, really, in the Spanish language.
00:31:17.580It just doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't make any sense in the Spanish language.
00:31:21.600It's, it's, it's total nonsense, especially in a language that, I mean, I don't know why I have to, I don't know why am I in a position of having to teach AOC about Spanish language.
00:31:33.680And so I have to explain to her that it's a gendered language.
00:31:36.420Like, everything is gendered in, in the Spanish language.
00:31:39.200So, first of all, it doesn't even make any sense to, to try to do this if you're not going to turn every other word gender neutral also.
00:31:49.980And then at that point, you've just destroyed the language.
00:31:53.120You've, you've created, it's, this is not language changing or evolving.
00:31:56.560This is just a whole new language that you've created to supplant the other one because the other one was, you, you, you disliked for political and ideological reasons.
00:32:08.860But also, as I have to keep reminding people, whenever we hear this claim that Latinx or anything, you know, whatever else, the pronoun stuff, like all of this is just, language is fluid and, and it, it evolves over time.
00:32:41.820Okay, because a, an evolution, a change over time, fluidity of language, all that, that would just be, you know, you, if, if, if, if Latinx was being introduced that way,
00:32:53.940then it would just kind of come up on its own and it would, it would start among Spanish-speaking people.
00:33:02.880And then they would start using this word and then it would just kind of make its way in.
00:33:06.380And that's, and that's the way that language actually does evolve.
00:33:09.220Okay, but in this case, it's from the outside.
00:33:14.160People, many of whom don't even speak Spanish, came up with this term that they prefer for political reasons and are trying to impose it from the top down onto the Spanish language.
00:33:25.240That is not, that is not language being fluid, that is not language evolving, that is manipulation.
00:33:32.560That's appropriation, that's colonization of the Spanish language by white LGBT liberals.
00:33:40.100Here's a, here's a kind of a good rule of thumb.
00:33:43.520If there's a change of language and you can pinpoint the exact moment where it started, like, you know who came up with it,
00:33:52.560then that's a pretty good indication that this is not a natural evolution that just kind of happens on its own over time.
00:33:59.340This is someone thought of this and they would prefer if language worked this way instead.
00:34:04.160And then in this case, worked through institutions to impose that on the Spanish language.
00:34:10.120Again, a totally different sort of thing.
00:34:17.420New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hocule signed a 10-bill package of gun laws on Monday that included raising the age to legally purchase a semi-automatic rifle from 18 to 21 following several recent mass shootings nationwide.
00:34:30.100Hocule signed the package to immediately strengthen the state's gun laws.
00:34:33.520And close critical loopholes, quote-unquote, as lawmakers seek to decrease shootings.
00:34:39.460And then there are other things that happen in the bill too.
00:34:40.740The main thing I just want to point out here, as we're raising the age from 18 to 21,
00:34:48.440and in this article we don't get much of an explanation because I don't think there really is one,
00:34:53.540like very specifically, as to why are we raising it to 21?
00:34:56.940I mean, what happens at 21 that isn't happening at 18 that makes it so that you can own these kinds of weapons when at 18 you can't?
00:35:08.600But I'd really like to hear from someone on the left a very specific explanation of that.
00:35:14.020You want to raise the age, whatever the weapon is, whatever type of gun we're talking about,
00:35:17.740and whatever age you want to raise it to.
00:35:20.760The fact that you want to raise the age for any kind of gun ownership is very interesting,
00:35:26.000and I'd love to hear you very specifically explain why.
00:35:30.400Because I'm guessing that your answer is going to have a lot to do with the development of the brain,
00:35:36.560with the decision-making abilities of younger people.
00:35:40.400Like, that's probably what this is about, right?
00:35:47.740Well, if that's the case, then that raises a lot of interesting questions about how you can justify allowing five-year-olds to choose their gender.
00:35:56.240If an 18-year-old does not have the capacity to own certain kinds of firearms,
00:36:03.160because we can't trust them with it, according to you,
00:36:06.420and their brain's not developed enough, and they don't have the right kind of discernment,
00:36:09.140they're not mature enough, they're not, you know, they don't have enough critical thinking,
00:36:12.540long-term planning, all those kinds of things.
00:36:15.720They're too impulsive, or whatever else you would say about them.
00:36:19.920Well, then, are they able to make lifelong, you know, body-altering decisions for themselves?
00:36:30.640So, 18, you can't own the firearm, you're too young.
00:36:33.920Oh, but at 5, you can certainly make a decision to change your head.
00:36:36.220At 12, you can make a decision to sterilize yourself forever.
00:38:46.900I'm so, so glad I got that on my chest.
00:38:50.020This is like if Nurse Ratched was your bitter, drunk aunt.
00:38:55.940It's just the worst combination of, I mean, do you, I guess she doesn't realize, but you're viscerally repulsive and unappealing in every way to everyone.
00:39:08.580Like, I guess she doesn't realize that about it.
00:39:11.940I mean, because one of the prerequisites to be somebody like that is you have to have no self-awareness whatsoever.
00:39:16.940First of all, telltale sign of self-awareness or lack thereof is when you're talking to, you know, the phone and you have the screen that close to your face.
00:39:25.540And you just know that that's what she does to people in real life, too.
00:41:02.580Whatever they can do, whatever small amount of power you give to them, they become, like, she's an actual supervillain.
00:41:09.060She's, this is what, it's the kind of video you would see a supervillain in a comic book movie record.
00:41:15.480Like, the only thing that was missing was, and I was expecting it, honestly, was the maniacal laughter.
00:41:20.620Which, usually, that's the kind of thing you see in movies all the time, where the villain comes up with this evil plan and then laughs about it.
00:41:25.860And it's like, you never see people do that in real life, even the most evil people.
00:41:42.600Is that she begins the video by saying, be very careful what you put on social media.
00:41:47.620Well, she probably should have taken her own advice because, apparently, now, her employer has been made aware of this video and is looking into it.
00:41:53.720And they're going to have to make some decisions about whether they want to keep her around.
00:41:57.980So, that's at least a happy ending to that.
00:42:01.140Have you ever looked at your credit card statement and been shocked by the interest rate?
00:42:04.460Did you know that you could actually roll all of your credit card debt into one monthly payment at a lower fixed interest rate?
00:42:10.020Lower your interest rate and save with a credit card consolidation loan from Lightstream.
00:42:14.200Rates start at 5.73% APR with auto pay and excellent credit.
00:43:28.780My money's on tripping while running up the stairs in the dark to get away from the scary spiders that your wife shut you in with.
00:43:33.260Or maybe some elaborate scenario where you're trying to avoid changing a diaper, but through a series of events, you end up causing your own death.
00:43:39.040That would be the most fitting end for me.
00:44:25.960And this is the point that I made last week when we heard from the left that, oh, the mass shootings, it only happened in the United States.
00:44:31.960No, in fact, mass shootings and mass of violence of various different kinds, they happen all across the world and all throughout history.
00:44:38.640They just, they might manifest themselves in different ways.
00:44:41.440So if you have a violent, nihilistic sort of person in Nigeria, then it's very likely they're going to join an organized terrorist organization.
00:44:51.700If they live in Mexico, they're probably going to join a cartel.
00:44:54.100Well, if they live in the United States, depending on where they live in the United States, they might just kind of fester in their mom's basement before they explode one day.
00:45:02.500Or if they live in the city, they might join a street gang.
00:45:04.380Like all this stuff manifests itself in a different ways, but it's the same sort of thing.
00:45:45.840Marsha says, how do you respond to the feminists who say that you ignored them or didn't include them in your film?
00:45:53.120The British gender critical feminists seem really upset about that.
00:45:56.180Yeah, I can't remember if we talked about that on the show yet, but this is a thing online.
00:45:59.560There's a whole sort of group of feminists, especially in the UK, who refer to themselves as gender critical, but they are derisively called the TERFs, trans-exclusionary radical feminists.
00:46:12.740That's what the trans activists call them.
00:46:13.740But anyway, there's apparently been quite a lot of discussion in that community, especially in the UK, about this film and about whether or not they should champion it, given that I'm a scary right winger and all that.
00:46:41.420We wanted to talk to all the people we possibly could, but not everybody wanted to talk to us.
00:46:48.140And we did reach out to some feminists, and we found that they, the ones we reached out to anyway, didn't want to talk to us.
00:46:55.540But, as I keep repeating, my mantra on this thing when it comes to gender ideology is that I'm willing to join forces with anybody to bring this down.
00:47:06.080Like, for this specific battle, if you stand against gender ideology and the madness of gender ideology and you stand for biological reality on this subject, then, yes, we could be allies in this particular fight.
00:53:22.480But more to the point, Professor Michelle Dober is trying to enlighten us by revealing that pirates were actually unsavory characters in real life.
00:53:31.540I mean, next she'll tell me that there was never really a pirate in real life with a hook for a hand
00:53:34.920who was stalked by a crocodile with a clock in its belly as he tried to hunt down and murder a flying boy in a green suit with a fairy sidekick.
00:53:41.680I mean, I'd always thought that Pirates of the Caribbean was a documentary and Peter Pan was at least based on a true story.
00:53:48.000Thank God we have college professors around to correct the record.
00:53:50.920I don't even want to ask, okay, whether there was ever really a prince who turned into a scary buffalo-type creature
00:53:57.520and lived in a castle with his talking candlestick and a collection of sentient kitchen utensils.
00:54:06.080Just leave the rest of the fairy tales alone, please.
00:54:09.160Now, aside from these stunning revelations, I think that there are a couple of other things happening here.
00:54:15.340One is that we see how these people simply do not want anyone to experience any joy at all.
00:54:21.220They are determined to find a reason why anything that you enjoy, however mild and superficial the diversion may be,
00:54:28.500they want to tell you why it is, as they say, deeply problematic.
00:54:32.140And the real problem for them is that you have not requested their permission ahead of time before recklessly deciding to enjoy something.
00:54:40.840This is an oversight that they cannot allow to pass unchecked.
00:54:43.940Notice how the professor makes sure to mention the fans of the film and of Depp's character.
00:54:50.840She's very unsubtly drawing guilty, you know, sort of guilt by association here.
00:54:55.080The character of Jack Sparrow is a racist sociopath, she says, and you like the character, so what does that say about you?
00:55:03.460Never mind the fact, by the way, that Disney already thought of the PC problems that may arise from the relationship between piracy and slavery.
00:55:10.600And they actually included a scene in one of the films where they mentioned that Jack Sparrow once freed 100 slaves from a ship.
00:55:18.360Like, that's a storyline in one of the films.
00:55:21.120So the professor is trying to outwoke Disney, but Disney is one step ahead, as always.
00:55:26.360Another point is that, you know, she thinks it's a revelation to us that pirates were often cruel and violent people.
00:55:33.600She thinks we'll be shocked to learn that pirates were racist.
00:55:37.860And she only assumes it will be a surprise because, most likely, she just learned this herself.
00:55:43.560I'm guessing she was mad about, you know, the Amber Heard verdict.
00:55:46.780And so she Googled the true history of Jack Sparrow.
00:55:50.500And then she found out that Jack Sparrow's true history goes back to a theme park ride.
00:55:54.500So then she just Googled bad stuff about pirates generally and was scandalized by what she discovered.
00:55:59.540She's only scandalized, though, and believes we will be also because, as a leftist, she has no understanding of world history.
00:56:08.300This is why leftists are constantly coming up with new historical figures to cancel, even fictional ones,
00:56:13.160on the basis that they were racist or violent or whatever else.
00:56:17.620What they don't understand is that for most of history, almost everybody was racist by our standards today.
00:56:23.880And the entire history of humanity is soaked in blood and plagued by violence and defined by war and conquest from the dawn of civilization until now.
00:57:09.000She does because she is a utopian leftist with no understanding of history, no insight into human nature, and nothing to offer the world but new and innovative ways to be offended by utterly inconsequential things.
00:57:21.600And that is why, today, Professor Michelle Dober is canceled.
