The true and on crowd is back at it again on social media, freaking out about something
00:00:04.580
completely insane and entirely made up. If you're not yet acquainted with what the true
00:00:09.220
and on crowd is, for a basic rundown, they're pretty much the conspiracy theory wing of the
00:00:14.280
Liberal Party, who believes that Justin Trudeau and the Liberals can do nothing wrong, and
00:00:18.480
Pure Polyev and the Conservatives can do nothing right, and they're willing to either make up
00:00:22.320
stuff or believe complete fantasies in order to support these two positions. Now, this is a very
00:00:28.080
special episode, because usually there's maybe a tiny hair of truth to something that a true
00:00:34.040
and non-supporter believes. They'll find some little breadcrumbs of something, and they'll
00:00:38.520
like run with it and go to conclusions that are completely unfounded. This time, there's
00:00:44.100
literally nothing to their crazy belief. Just quickly watch this video and see if there is
00:00:50.580
Speaking of experts, you know, we're often told that there are these brainy people,
00:00:58.080
who have a higher standard of virtue than the unwashed masses, that they have to decide for
00:01:04.340
all of you and all of us, because they just know better. All of us, well, we should just do what
00:01:11.320
we're told. They should decide what we think and say and what happens with our money. You see,
00:01:18.520
You'd be correct to think there's literally nothing wrong with that video at all.
00:01:23.680
But the true and non-crowd seriously believes that pure Polyev is green-screened in that video.
00:01:30.940
I don't know what kind of budget they think the Conservative Party has. I know the Conservatives
00:01:34.820
are absolutely blowing the Liberals and the NDP out of the water when it comes to fundraising,
00:01:39.080
but I don't exactly think that they have Disney behind them, making sure that Polyev can seem like
00:01:44.320
he's appearing at rallies when he's not really there. There's way too much footage of pure Polyev at
00:01:48.760
rallies to think that he'd be, like, shy and requiring technology to make it look like he's
00:01:53.440
somewhere where he isn't. But, and again, I didn't even... I went just through a little bit
00:01:59.080
of the comments that I saw being left about this. I just scrolled down a little bit on Twitter after
00:02:03.140
just looking up Polyev green-screen, and this is, like, the results I got from just scrolling down
00:02:08.100
a little bit. So you have people like this saying, what's worse, Polyev lying to Canadians about Trudeau
00:02:13.320
or doing it in front of a green screen? And then there's this one. The giant R created white
00:02:18.600
artificial... white artifacts around... Polyev gives it away for me. The superimposed Polyev was
00:02:24.120
filmed in a much brighter room than he... than the green-screen image. It's like he's glowing in the
00:02:28.100
dark. And these people don't understand how green screens work or real-life lighting. Some of these
00:02:34.000
other posts actually have the... actually have a part of the video in it that you see in the background.
00:02:39.520
This person said this video is as fake as Polyev himself. He's literally standing in front of a green screen
00:02:45.240
talking to himself. That is hilarious that his loyal supporters won't be able to tell because they're
00:02:50.760
so easily manipulated. Man, there are... I know there are conspiratorial people on the right, as there are
00:02:56.400
conspiratorial people on any part of the political spectrum, but this really takes the cake. Every once in a
00:03:02.520
while, I see really dumb people thinking, oh, it's not the real Biden, because look at his earlobe.
00:03:07.060
Stop it. If you send me that, please don't. Shut up. I don't care. Just because you think that someone...
00:03:13.280
because someone's earlobe looks different from different angles doesn't mean anything. But the same thing with
00:03:18.840
these posts that these people are leaving. They don't seem to realize, as is indicated above Polyev, that there
00:03:24.480
is overhead lighting, and there's obviously a spotlight on him. Do they think that the Canadian flag in the back
00:03:30.660
is also superimposed because it is brighter than the rest of the room? That's just... These people assume
00:03:36.660
that if there's any lighting change in a room, that that thing must be superimposed. Like, if I get lighter
00:03:42.760
going towards my lamp, I must be currently green screened in right now based on this little piece
00:03:49.080
of evidence that this part of my head is a little bit brighter than this part of the wall. These people
00:03:54.500
are completely nuts. They actively think that because it's Polyev, there must be something fake
00:04:00.520
about this video. That is the conspiratorial mindset that these true and on people have. Same thing with
00:04:05.920
any other conspiracy theorists. They go into a situation with a presupposition that Polyev is a
00:04:12.180
liar and he's, like, fake in some way. So we must find the fakeness in this video. And then they see
00:04:18.320
that he's slightly lighter than the rest of the crowd who's obviously sitting in the dimmed area so that they can
00:04:24.220
see him better and that the room is not just entirely lit up so that he's not the main focus of the rally.
00:04:30.820
That's what's going on. But because of that, that's evidence that not only is it fake, but that conservatives
00:04:37.580
are stupid for not being able to see it. So here we have, like, this other person. Peter Polyev should have
00:04:42.940
matched the lighting to the green screen. Polyev doesn't seem to have basic understanding of
00:04:48.040
electricity either. But no, Polyev doesn't need experts. Yeah, dude, I don't know what to tell
00:04:53.560
you. I don't think that Polyev paid a million dollars to fake this video. I'm pretty sure that
00:04:58.280
Polyev is popular enough. He wouldn't need to go to such tricks in order to try and get people on his
00:05:04.120
side. This person, is that a filmed in front of a green screen glowing surrounding? Pontification
00:05:09.600
populist pastor, pure Polyev. I don't know what this person's obsession with literation is, but this is
00:05:14.620
just a small sampling of the posts I could have grabbed. It went on forever. I've covered other
00:05:20.280
things for the True and On Files series I've been doing, and I only have two other videos in it.
00:05:24.280
Usually, that's like a couple dozen people who believe in the thing put forward, like people
00:05:28.980
thinking that pure Polyev's Apple video was faked, and then there was something else that went on when
00:05:33.840
I made the second video. I forget what it was. But usually, it's like you can find 24 or 30 people
00:05:39.120
who believe this. This, I could have probably grabbed 100 examples of not just the people who were
00:05:43.740
posting it, but the massive amount of people who were retweeting and liking some of these posts.
00:05:48.440
This is not a small crowd of people who believe this stuff. I'm almost shocked that Mark Gerritsen,
00:05:53.700
the MP, the liberal MP from Kingston and the Islands, wasn't pushing this, because this was like so
00:06:00.100
widespread for liberal supporters. The idea is that somehow because like liberals are very like
00:06:06.780
establishment in their views, that they're very, you know, like, you know, trusting of institutions,
00:06:11.920
that means that they're anti-conspiracy theory. These people are proving that completely wrong.
00:06:17.520
You can be entirely pro-establishment and also be a massive conspiracy theorist, assuming that the
00:06:22.160
opposition are like demons from hell who are capable of anything, including faking videos to this high
00:06:28.660
of a quality. Like, if this is fake, Marvel has to get a hold of Pure Polyev to start doing their
00:06:34.760
green screen work for them. This is nuts. But anyways, that should be it for me today. I have my
00:06:40.840
Give, Send, Go linked in the description below. I'm being sued by a billionaire, $25,000 deep in a
00:06:45.800
defamation defense case. It's a completely stupid lawsuit. They're just trying to bleed myself in
00:06:51.040
TNT of money, and I don't want to apologize for doing nothing wrong. So we are fighting it out.
00:06:55.860
So if you want to donate $5, $10, $15 or so to our legal defense, it really helps me out. And other
00:07:01.500
than that, I'm also running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination. So if you live in
00:07:06.680
Calgary Signal Hill or if you have family or friends who live there, buy a Conservative Party
00:07:10.700
membership. I don't want to know when the nomination date's going to be. Could be, you know, anytime
00:07:15.460
this year. Could be spring, summer, fall. But if you buy a one-year membership, you'll probably be
00:07:20.780
able to vote in the nomination. I doubt it's going to drag into 2025. Basically, if you live any riding
00:07:26.780
you live in, go check which one it is, even if you don't live in the city of Calgary. I think it's
00:07:31.500
really important that people actually know which ridings they live in. There's so many people who get
00:07:36.160
hoodwinked when terrible politicians are elected, but they also don't even know what jurisdiction
00:07:40.720
they happen to live in. I guarantee a lot of you, not in a bad sense, but a lot of you don't actually
00:07:46.580
know what riding you live in. And part of it's just because Canadian politics is so undercovered
00:07:51.880
by the media in a nuanced way that people just don't really engage much and they kind of get bored
00:07:56.600
by politics because, you know, to a certain extent, there's a bit of a controversial view. And now I'm
00:08:01.720
dragging the video on a bit. But Canadian politics actually doesn't have enough money in it.
00:08:06.560
An Illinois governor race, which a Democrat is obviously going to win, will have more money in
00:08:11.280
it than an entire Canadian federal election. And when you can't spend money on things, the actual
00:08:15.780
amount of information you can give people about how politics works is very low. There's a reason why
00:08:20.200
only like 1% of Canadians have a party membership. And it's not because Canadians don't like political
00:08:24.660
parties and think they're all corrupt, like some people would say. No, it's just because people
00:08:27.820
don't care. And the thing is, I think the apathy in this country is why we've ended up with three
00:08:32.200
terms of Justin Trudeau. So again, reiterating, if you live in Calgary Signal Hill or live
00:08:37.040
in the city of Calgary, check which riding you live in and buy a membership if you live
00:08:40.320
in my riding. Frankly, buy a conservative membership regardless of what riding you live in and get
00:08:44.460
involved more locally. So other than that, hopefully everyone has a great day and I'll see you next
