Today, in honor of July 4th, Independence Day, I will be defending America from the attacks
00:00:07.440
of salty TikTokers. This will be on my part, I think, perhaps not quite as brave as the
00:00:14.160
colonists fighting against the British for independence, but I think not far behind.
00:00:18.300
I think it's like in that realm. They'll build statues to me one day, I'm sure, and then those
00:00:23.220
statues will be torn down. It'll require almost as much valor and daring, you might say. Now,
00:00:28.700
there are a lot of America haters out there in the country, as we know, in general, a great many
00:00:33.100
people who are living here and enjoying the luxuries and the liberties and the fruits of
00:00:39.120
living here, and who certainly would not want to live anywhere else, which is why they're here,
00:00:43.540
and yet they're resentful and they're angry, and they can't quite explain why. That's the one thing
00:00:49.600
they can't do, or maybe, maybe they can, or maybe they can explain. Let's go to TikTok and we'll give
00:00:55.140
them a chance to present their case, such as it is, and we'll start with this.
00:01:01.920
Hi, so I just texted my dad to ask about my Canadian citizenship, because my brother applied
00:01:08.500
for his, because apparently that's something that I have that I can do. Kind of cool. But anyways,
00:01:13.660
I just attested to apply for mine, because I didn't have any interest in it like a couple months
00:01:18.940
ago, but now I'm f***ing terrified to live in this f***ing country, because I'm so f***ing
00:01:23.080
over it. Um, because I hate my town, and I hate the country in general, and that's just
00:01:29.160
on hating America. Um, not that my career can really function in Canada at all, so I don't
00:01:36.620
really know what I'm going to do there. Um, I guess we would figure it out if it had to
00:01:43.340
happen, but you know, I'd rather be prepared. She will be sorely missed. Stop, don't come
00:01:49.640
back. What will this country do without her? So really, she's on drugs, right? Isn't that,
00:01:56.040
the first clue is that she's moving to Canada, and the second is that she's babbling incoherently.
00:02:03.040
I mean, Canada? Why? What are you going to do in Canada? Become a syrup farmer?
00:02:10.240
Ah, f*** you, buddy! And what, I just want to know, in what way, nothing against Canada,
00:02:14.500
I just, in what way is Canada an improvement? What, what problems do you find here that you
00:02:20.640
won't find there? She has no answers for those questions, obviously. All she knows is that
00:02:25.260
she hates it here, but I know what she really hates, and we'll, and we'll, I think we'll circle
00:02:29.940
back around, as Jen Misaki would say, uh, and we'll talk about that, because there's, there's
00:02:34.500
a common thread through all these videos, probably, but let's, uh, let's keep watching.
00:02:38.540
If you're American, and you think America's the best country in the world, can you please
00:02:41.860
give me a genuine reason why? I don't know how many times we've got to tell y'all, America
00:02:45.820
is a third world country in a Gucci belt. We hate it here, too. Like, we don't want to
00:02:52.960
A third world country, uh, he says, lounging on his bed in what looks to be a shower cap,
00:02:59.920
recording a video on his $900 phone, which he'll upload using his internet connection,
00:03:05.960
and then spend the day scrolling the internet, playing video games, eating whatever snacks
00:03:11.060
he finds in his mom's pantry. Yeah, third world country. That's what this is. You're
00:03:17.000
comfortable, you're clearly well-fed, healthy. Yeah, you think you're in a third world country.
00:03:23.340
And all that speaks to is the extent of your own comfort and your own luxury. You're so comfortable
00:03:30.140
that, like, if your mom runs out of Cheetos, and you have to wait 45 minutes for her to get back
00:03:36.040
from the store, suddenly you're suffering like a starving child in Ethiopia. That's the extent of
00:03:40.740
your comfort. But maybe I'm not, maybe I'm not being fair. I don't know, because I thought,
00:03:44.280
I saw this, and like, with all these videos, I think, well, maybe he hates it here. Maybe this guy
00:03:52.060
has real complaints. I don't know. Maybe he's got real complaints about his life and about this
00:03:55.320
country. Maybe he's really suffered in his life. Maybe he's really deprived. I don't know. So I
00:04:01.460
went to his page just to see what else I could find to figure out what his sob story is that would
00:04:05.920
make him hate this country so much. And I think I found it. Here, here it is. This is the same guy.
00:04:11.760
You know, here I was today, walking out of work, being a citizen of capitalism. And I come and find
00:04:20.300
out, somebody hit my f***ing mirror. Just hit the mirror. And then ran away. Ran away. Not only did
00:04:29.720
they run away, but they took the mirror with them. You know how disrespectful you have to be to not
00:04:36.240
only hit someone's s***, take it with them. Like you're an evil a*****. Oh my God. I'm pissed. I'm pissed.
00:04:45.500
I'm pissed. I'm pissed. I'm pissed. Whoever took my mirror, b***h for days.
00:04:53.420
Well, I retract my previous remarks. I mean, this is a man who has suffered. I mean, he's taking the
00:05:01.060
time to make a video along with like putting the words up on the screens. We had to edit this.
00:05:06.640
And it's good that he put the words on the screen because we've got to make sure that every word that
00:05:10.780
he says, we don't want to miss any of it. It's so eloquent and important. The whole world had to know
00:05:14.560
about this. Complaining about someone hitting the mirror on his car. Surely this is someone who has
00:05:18.660
lived a life of just untold misfortune. Life is pain. He has a reason to hate it here, I guess.
00:05:25.040
And since he does hate it here, let me just offer him a suggestion. And I would offer this suggestion
00:05:31.700
to anyone else who hates it here and hates this country. You can leave. Get out. Leave the country.
00:05:40.700
There is no law. I got good news for you. No law requiring you to stay. I wish there was a law
00:05:47.320
requiring you to leave, but there isn't. So you can choose to stay or to leave. And that's a choice
00:05:54.820
that you have. Why would you stay in a place you hate? All right, let's keep going. And this, by the way,
00:06:02.520
these are all, most of them under the hashtag hate America or hate America 2021. There are a lot of
00:06:08.460
videos in that theme on TikTok. And here's another one.
00:06:22.860
Hmm. So he says, while you're celebrating your 4th of July, don't forget whose land you stole to
00:06:27.960
celebrate your freedom. Okay. When you say the land that you stole, you're referring to white settlers
00:06:34.260
hundreds of years ago. Here's my next question. When they moved in and took land, did they steal
00:06:42.340
from the tribe that occupied that land at the time or from the tribe that that tribe stole it from?
00:06:50.020
Or from the tribe that the tribe that stole it from, stole it from? You see, because this entire
00:06:56.700
continent was awash in conquest, slavery, murder, war, long before anybody with white skin showed up.
00:07:04.520
These tribes, all of them, all of them lived by the law of conquest. If you want it, you take it.
00:07:11.960
If you have it and you want to keep it, you defend it. If you have it and you want to keep it and you
00:07:16.380
can't defend it, you lose it. Does that make it right for white people? No, but it doesn't make,
00:07:22.780
it's not right for anybody. That's just the, that's the way the world worked.
00:07:27.180
So, um, the white men showed up and, uh, in some cases they played by the same rules. They didn't invent
00:07:32.600
them to the white men who steals our land and steals our sons to the white man. If a, if a tribe
00:07:40.300
gets moved off their land by white people are, but they had just moved other people off the land
00:07:46.880
are who they, they're thieves also. So who's the victim? Uh, I never, I could never quite get an
00:07:51.980
answer to that question. Let's see. We got, uh, we'll, we'll try one more. I'm still waiting for
00:07:57.160
someone to present some kind of, uh, of articulate argument. Maybe this'll be it. Let's watch this.
00:08:10.780
Oh, okay. That's edgy stuff there. I mean, the guy's got the fingernails painted black and everything.
00:08:16.760
I remember when kids did that when I was in middle school to prove how rebellious they were
00:08:20.240
and we called them goths back then. They call them something else now, but really the word that,
00:08:24.740
that binds them all together would be a dorks, dorks by another name, real tough guy, by the way,
00:08:30.560
covering his face while he does this. Yeah. But I think this brings us back to the beginning. I
00:08:35.240
said, I was going to circle back and I'm going to, um, all these people who hate America, what,
00:08:39.740
what do they really hate? And I'll tell you, they hate themselves. That's what they actually hate.
00:08:43.540
They are, they are dissatisfied with who they are and with their own lives. And they've projected
00:08:47.960
those feelings of resentment and, uh, and failure onto, onto the entire country.
00:08:52.520
Trump and the USA. It's kind of a common thing people do. In fact, in one form or another,
00:08:57.980
you know, someone who's failing at life might pick up and move to another town or another region,
00:09:03.600
or they go traveling around the world or something. And they, and they, uh, and they think that a
00:09:07.540
change in scenery will change their life, but it won't because it's the, the problems are internal.
00:09:14.160
There's an internal source of their trouble. So it never works because wherever they go,
00:09:18.900
they bring themselves with them and the self is really the problem. And this case with these
00:09:25.220
people, the self should be the problem. Uh, they should be dissatisfied with themselves because
00:09:30.420
they are miserable losers after all. What they need to do. Here's what I would recommend
00:09:36.260
rather than stewing and how much you hate America when really you hate yourself and thinking about it
00:09:41.680
so much, just get out of your own head for a moment. Stop thinking about yourself for five
00:09:46.780
seconds, crack a beer, have a burger, enjoy the day, July 4th. And we'll end on a positive note
00:09:56.380
for once. It does happen on occasion. Happy July 4th, everyone.
