WEBVTT - An Icepick in Trotsky’s Eye 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:08.000 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.040 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty. 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:19.279 Armstrong and he Armstrong and Eddy. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.840 Alst of what we saw were crimes of poverty. People 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.680 who are stealing things like tooth based, people who are 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.640 stealing things like, you know, a soap, And that means 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.720 if you're stealing those things, you need them. And we 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:43.400 are choosing to protect billion dollar companies like CBS and 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:49.080 Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.800 So I would say that the true crime is that 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:58.160 there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city that 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.800 there are people can be thrown in jail simply for 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.520 having a biological need. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.240 That is New York State Representative Emily Gallagher. That is 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.559 the current version of Woke as it's evolved slightly. We've 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.399 been chatting about AOC's unbelievable little statement the other. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:18.760 Day woke one was crazy. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:21.240 Yeah. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.600 So I've been on vacation for a week and Joe 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.440 and I always noticed when we're on vacation that there's 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:33.440 a whole bunch of stories that were talked about among 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.960 the chattering classes on cable news. And podcasts and talk 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.119 radio like they were really really important and when you're 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.399 on vacation you miss them and you didn't miss anything 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:43.560 because they come and go. 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.479 This is not one of those. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.400 AOC making her little plan again, Michael, her little flippant 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:51.360 comment about. 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.040 Woke Woke one was crazy. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.680 That got a lot of attention, should have gotten a 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.320 lot of attention, should continue to get a lot of attention, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.120 because the woke apocalypse was one of the most amazing things. 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.040 That's ever happened in my life. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:13.639 And to I think cleverly try to massage that issue 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.200 the way AOC did is definitely worth remarking upon. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:23.240 Especially because it is she and her buddies in compatriots 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.040 who foisted woke one, honest, and there's still as active 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.120 as ever as I was trying to hint there by 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.639 playing the nice New York State representative. How recent and 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.680 by the way, amazing is too neutral a term. It 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.080 was one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.720 Yeah, well, yeah, I was amazed, I think because, as 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.399 I have said many times, I never completely understood how 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.400 the cultural revolution could happen. I never really understood how 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.959 Nazism came to prominence. 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.000 None of those things made sense to me. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.720 I now completely. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.359 One understand how that can happen because I lived through 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.959 Woke and I saw how things went so crazy so fast, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.160 with Black Lives Matter being a slogan that you either 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.200 adhered to where you lost your job, the whole trans 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.720 thing obviously, and so many other different issues much more. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.320 That's the very thing we're getting into. Yeah, but go ahead, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.079 that just me too. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.960 Oh my god, was me too? 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.480 A craze where people were losing their jobs because they 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.240 asked a woman out. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.600 Once years ago? Maybe well sometimes it wasn't even proven. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.639 I mean, it's just it was insane. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:41.760 Yeah, yeah, absolutely nuts. Anyway, let's move on. Yeah, and 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.720 you're a statement about Nazism and then the Cultural Revolution, 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.560 the rest of it, the Holocaust. I think a lot 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:55.480 of us assumed that way more people look at life 0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:00.280 through the lens of truth or sanity, or it's a 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.360 good idea. It's not a good idea in short, whereas 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.520 way way more people are sheep than I ever dreamed. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.080 They really look at the world through the lens of 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.840 Will I be accepted for believing this? Okay, I believe this, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.200 and it's just disturbing to me. It's highly disturbing. But 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.280 that explains all of those horrific social phenomena through history, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.080 It really does. So it's one of the reasons the 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.000 founding Papas were so intent on preventing the oppression of 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.000 the majority. I'm sorry, the oppression by the majority. They 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.400 knew how dangerous that is. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.400 I understand the French Revolution now in a way that 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.719 I never understood it before. How it could swing so 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.680 far one direction, and then like a month later, the 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.680 very people that you idolized you're now cutting their heads off. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.200 All that makes sense now, having lived through the wo apocalypse, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.440 how things can change so incredibly quickly. So that clip 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.159 you just played of the CVS and Walgreens they're the 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:57.799 evil ones. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.760 How recently is that like the other day? Really? Yeah? 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:07.159 Wow, they're still on that. They still think shoplifting makes sense. 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:13.320 Okay, And back to AOC and your French Revolution thoughts. There, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.760 not only are you in some cases beheading the people 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.920 who you were worshiping two weeks ago, but often if 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.440 those people are smart, they're screaming the opposite of what 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.440 they screamed two weeks ago, and you're praising them for 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.919 it with no explanation given that to me is the 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.159 true sign of a sheep. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.359 For some reason, I was thinking about when Al Franken, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.599 the Senator from Minnesota who was one of the most 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.200 beloved liberals in the US Senate. That picture came out 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.240 of making a joke pretending the hank the hooters of 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.240 a woman who's asleep, and man, if beheading was a thing, 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.520 he would have been beheaded by his own crowd that week. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:59.280 Right right, I came across this comment by a Canadian 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:04.640 writer about AOC's comment and what was woke, and he 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.320 offered up a mega thread documenting the most deranged aerors 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.560 of our time because he believes that when AOC declared 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.240 woke went over and dismissively laughed, she was sending a 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.599 calculated signal to the leftist rank and file that woke 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.680 is now more of a political liability than a help, 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.160 and it's time to pivot from that's not happening, that 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.600 never happened to Okay, it was happening, but it wasn't 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:33.679 that bad, so let's move on now woe. So anyway, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.760 he says, I'm creating a threads so you can all 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.480 bookmarket and use it anytime says woke wasn't that big 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.599 a deal, or it was just online Cooke's, or it 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.600 was just about having empathy and being kind, and he mentions. 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.440 You'll notice that not one of the examples in this 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.480 thread are online cookes. Every single one is a major 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.640 media company, and despite the catastrophic reputational loss in the 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.920 last two decades, these companies are still very powerful and influential, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.240 and they still play a role in public opinion. So, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.839 without further what is woke? And we'll go through this 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:06.760 fairly quickly. But woke was believing black people are so 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.400 mentally weak in inferior. A common theme of this thread 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.320 that activists pressured companies like Loreal to stop accurately describing 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.920 their products for fear of what seeing the word white 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.680 might do to their fragile intellects. Here's a headline from 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.360 the Guardian Loreal to remove words like whitening from skin 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:27.600 care products announcement. Announcement comes against backdrop of global anti 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.800 racism protests. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.080 Oh that's hilarious. 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.440 I don't know if i'd never heard better, forgotten it, 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.720 but that is that is almost unbelievable. 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.920 But I lived through it. Woke was a survival guide, 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.840 and he gives one example of the hundreds of university 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:46.120 guides entitled Surviving Whiteness and white people Happen to be 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:51.440 Colorado State University put that out. Wok was planning a genocide? 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.080 When is it okay to kill whites? Ask a and 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:59.200 M philosophy professor Tommy Curry, and Woke was explicitly using 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.000 the word genocide in the genocide planning, just so everyone 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.280 heard the message loud and clear. And the professor behind 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.040 the white genocide tweet says he has university support. It 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.920 was canceling mozart. White mozart is a singular symbol of 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.640 the white patriarchy. Let's see what publication was that The 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:22.880 Times I Think of London reason Woke was firing museum 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.200 curators for working with white artists. Here's a headline from 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.679 the time. Who was actually in Let's see September twenty 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.840 twenty museum curator resigns after he is accused of racism 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.840 for saying he would still collect art from white men, 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.079 not exclusively at all. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:40.880 Wow. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.240 Gary Garrels of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.440 was fired after I write employees said his firing is 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.160 non negotiable. You got to fire him or we're all 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.480 walking out because he said, well, yeah, I will still 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:54.960 collect some art from white men. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.680 I think I remember talking about that, but I've forgotten it. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.360 That is so crazy. Woke was this headline in the 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.600 UK moment transgender singer strips naked live on Channel four 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:12.839 and plays the keyboard with her penis. Woke was using 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.160 the phrase. Seems like the headline woke was the phrase 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.840 her penis as well as platforming fetishistic men were clearly 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.760 using the extreme permissiveness of the culture to force all 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.880 of us to participate in their sex lives. Woke was 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.160 CNN warning parents that Paw Patrol was fascist. The headline 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.880 I remember this at the time, Why kids love fascist 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.960 cartoons like Paw Patrol and Thomas the Tank Engine. Do 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.560 you have a date on that one, Let's see December 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.720 twenty two. That was actually twenty seventeen, so that was 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:44.960 kind of early in the woke thing. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.200 Yeah, So how much do you think so the woke 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:53.199 thing started pre pandemic, But how much did the pandemic 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.960 and all the weirdness around that and people locked up 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:56.760 in their homes and. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:57.400 Everything like that. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.560 Uh, energize it all, I wonder, because we're it was 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.679 a crazy time. Without Woke, it would have been one 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.120 of the craziest times of my life. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.760 And it was a very online time too. Yeah, so yeah, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.200 a lot. You know. Let me get to one more, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.080 just because I want to make sure we squeeze this in. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.560 Because this is something I despised at the time. I 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.320 ranted about it at the time. I've despised it ever since. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.520 I despise it now I will despise it for the 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:27.520 rest of my life. The ap AP's style is now 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.360 to capitalize black word black in a racial, ethnic, or 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.199 cultural sense, conveying an essential and shared sense of history, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.840 identity in the community among people identified as black, including 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.199 those in the African diaspora and within Africa. Ap style 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.280 will continue to lowercase the term white in racial, ethnic, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.840 and cultural senses. This decision follows the black move We 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.520 consulted with a wide group of people internally and externally 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.440 and decided this. As the writer puts it, Woke was 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.800 insisting on capitalizing black when referring to black people because 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.480 they have a shared sense of history, identity, and community. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.440 White will remain uncapitalized because white people being the soulless, rootless, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.320 disgusting ghouls that they are, do not get capitalized. Wolk 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.520 was accusing fast food companies of killing black people because 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.720 well salt, high blood pressure. Oh. Woke was telling a 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.880 little three year old boy that he wasn't a boy, 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.600 he was actually a girl trapped in a boy's body, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.080 and the cure for such a condition was blocking his 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.280 puberty and perhaps castrating him from NPR at age three, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.360 transitioning from Jack to Jackie. Wolk was making an entire 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.800 reality show and around another little boy he was told 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.120 he was a girl when he was sixteen. His castration 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.319 surgery provided content for the show. Woke was blaming white 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.400 people for killing minorities because they have to breathe. Headline 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.920 from the Guardian minorities in the US breathe and more 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.120 air pollution caused by white people. This goes on for 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:51.800 some time. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:58.960 That's the classic meteor wipes out earth. Uh black emine 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:06.120 minority is hard t Yeah artist tip, Yeah, Okay, I've 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.800 got my one real turning point, I think in my mind. 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.600 But first we want to tell you about all the 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.480 good stuff you should do for your dog with rough greens, 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.920 because you probably take vitamins and watch what you eat 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.000 and make sure you eat healthy. Are you making sure 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.600 your dog eats healthy? How about their dog food? Not 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.720 a lot of nutrients in it?

And then 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.600 woke was also in the press coverage using a pleasant looking, 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.480 middle aged black lady probably picture in the story in 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.199 the press because they knew using this rapist man's actual 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.880 picture would cause less sympathy, so in mainstream media they 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:52.199 just use the trial cartoon of this lady instead of 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.640 the picture of this rapist man. And then finally the 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.560 final insult, when he was brought to trial for the rapes, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.320 it was woke that the men demanded that the rape 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:07.400 victims refer to the rapist as her and she in court. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.439 Oh my god, you'd have to shoot me to get 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:11.920 me to do that. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:12.720 Yep. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.280 More on this one of the big turning points in 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.280 my mind. I'll try to look up the exact date 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.600 of when it happened, and any of your thoughts on 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.360 the text line four one KFTC. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.800 You know what woke means. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:26.840 It means you're a loser. 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:42.600 The armstrong and yetty, Okay, we're discussing the whole woke 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.360 one was crazy. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:44.440 What. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.800 AOC trying to, you know, put an end to that 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.160 whole controversy of things. We said, none of us believe 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.640 that anymore or whatever. She was specifically referring to defund 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.520 the police and what a numb nuts And no that 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:01.560 was for anybody. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:01.680 Who said it. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.840 But I had forgotten this one. We talked about it 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.840 a lot at the time because I've had in my 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.320 mind for a long time. When The New York Times 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.040 announced that intent doesn't matter, I consider that one of 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:17.920 the big. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.600 Moments in the apocalypse. I mean, because. 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:26.920 That's crazy if I say something and then you misinterpreted 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.640 or whatever happens and you get upset, and I said, no, no, no, no, 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.800 I meant doesn't matter what I meant. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.440 Intent doesn't matter. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.880 They actually stated that explicitly, and the story that made 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.920 that come about was their their science reporter Donald McNeil Jr. 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.400 Who got fired by The Times over this years. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.720 Earlier, on a student trip because he's a professor on 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.000 a student trip to Peru, had used the N word 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.320 when discussing language in various countries and racial slurs and 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.880 how they're used. He used it in the context of, 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.440 for instance, the N word and said it became a 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.320 word that in the United States blah blah blah blah blah. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.640 Years later, when the apocalypse is going on, some students 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.600 came forward and said he said the N word once 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.080 and everybody went nuts, and he said, no, no, no, 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.160 I was just discussing it. I'm not in favor of it. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.400 I was discussing it. We were having a conversation about 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.240 racial slurs. And that's when The New York Times made 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.800 After one hundred and fifty staffers signed a protest letter 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.000 at the New York Times, The New York Times said, 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.920 we do not tolerate racist language, regardless of intent. It 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:39.480 doesn't matter what your intent was at all. It's how 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.440 well I'll read their quote. It's irrelevant. What matters is 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.240 how an act makes the victims feel. That's from the 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.960 New York freaking Times. So Brett Stevens at the time, 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.840 the Conservative using my finger quotes columnists for the New 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.600 York Times wrote a piece on how crazy that was. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.320 That intent is everything, and basically the stuff that we've 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.760 said for years you're going pre enlightenment. If you start 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.560 talking about intent doesn't matter. I mean, you're into crazy. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:05.840 Brother. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.199 He wrote a piece about that New York Times. The 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.400 New York Times would not publish it. One of their 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.000 own columnists, they would not publish it. The New York 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.280 Posts did publish it. I remember we read from it. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.640 The guy wasn't actually fired, but he was forced to resign. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:20.520 He had no choice. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:20.720 Here. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:29.440 Unfreaking believable that adults, intelligent in theory, adults. 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.639 Could come to that conclusion. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.120 That is the full flower, though, of the Marxist technique 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.879 that you call somebody racist, you take away their power. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.280 You take over their power. And if they say, whoa, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.639 I'm not racist, and I can prove it, here's precisely 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.280 what I meant. Well, that's too many smart people can 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.600 do that. So you tell them, and you tell the world. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.160 It doesn't matter what he says. The word came out 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.879 of his mouth. Therefore he's guilty. Therefore we take his power, 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.280 we take his job, et cetera. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:57.960 The New York freaking Times. 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.920 I know, intent doesn't What if the person I don't 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.359 know is paranoid, is pretending to be offended so they 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.600 can get me fired, or to take my job or 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.280 my power or whatever. Does that matter? No, no, no, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.679 no no no. Intent doesn't matter. You're guilty. It's how 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.440 you are accused. You are guilty. 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:17.480 So you wouldn't even have to say that. You might 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.480 just say the N word like I just did using 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.920 the letter. If they feel bad, then that's enough. They 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:25.040 went so crazy. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:27.920 Armstrong and get. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:32.720 The Armstrong and Getty show. 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.640 So on the example we just gave from the Wolf 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.680 Pockalypse and if you didn't hear it, get the podcast 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.399 Armstrong and Getting on demand. But as a famous incident 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.919 with The New York Times in which they stated that 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:52.960 intent doesn't matter, which is nuts. Uh. I feel like 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.280 I couldn't be pressured into that to go along with it. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.600 Nope, But am I lying. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:00.440 To myself about that? 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:00.760 You know? 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.000 Doctor Jordan Peterson, he regularly says, if you think you 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.639 couldn't have become a Nazi or part of the cultural revolutionary, 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.720 I suppose this you're you're lying to yourself. Look, I mean, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.640 just history has proven people are susceptible to these these waves, 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:16.800 and you need to you need to admit to yourself 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:17.639 that could happen to you. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.920 And to be on guard for it. But I've given 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.160 the right circumstances. 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.840 Yes, yeah, yeah, maybe on a different topic or something 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.400 that I can't quite imagine because I can't picture myself 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.040 falling for it. But you know, I haven't been surrounded 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.880 by all of a sudden, all my coworkers and friends 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.280 are saying, no, black. 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.639 Is white, What are you nuts? Black is white? 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.200 And I'm gonna continue to stand there and say, no, 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:43.600 it's not. 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.520 I'll bet somewhere there's some genius who's put together a 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.560 matrix or a rubric or a paradigm or an algorithm 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.200 to explain, you know, the various things that need to combine, 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.960 a combination of just personality type. Because there's some people 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.960 you can do to anything. They're just they're sheep. They 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.720 go along to get along. There are some people who 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:10.120 aren't exactly, but they're young, they're much more impressionable. The 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:14.840 woke thing. You know, we're both real individualists and not 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:20.520 joiners exactly. And it came along later in life, and 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.520 so the idea that no, if you just out of 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.760 the words, its intent doesn't matter. All of my life experienced, 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.480 my philosophy, everything I've read, I mean it just it 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.520 hit a brick wall of No, that's ridiculous. But you know, 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.000 if you're young and impressionable and kind of a sheepy person, yeah, 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.800 I could see going along with it. And myself is 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:42.840 an angry young man, say my country has been defeated 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:46.360 in war and our economy's crumbling and exciting new leaders 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.200 say you shouldn't be ashamed of who you are. You 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.640 should be proud of it, and we're gonna get them, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.160 and here's who's to blame. Is it possible a person 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.240 would fall for that, even a person like me? Yeah, 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.720 I suppose so. I suppose so I would hope whise 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:04.200 in benevolent old graveyater did the fellows like myself though, 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.600 Mike grab me by the ear and say, dude, here's 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.760 why that's wrong, which is what we're trying to do. 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.640 There are different categories, and then we'll get back into 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.639 the wolfpacoblips and how it's not something you should just 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:15.760 be able to laugh off the. 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.399 Way Ao seeded crazy. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.880 Oh my god, it was crazy. People lost their jobs, 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:27.560 people got killed. Oh it was crazy. You're young, you 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.240 don't know anybody. You get swept up with the mania 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:31.439 all your friends are doing it. 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:32.840 Okay, that's one thing. 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.560 But the New York Times management originally stood by that 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:41.720 science reporter. Then when the one hundred and fifty probably 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.040 young staffers wrote that letter, then they changed their mind. 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.520 That crowd is who I hate the most. That crowd 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.480 that knew better. Whether you're the people at Nike at 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.879 a certain level of management or whoever you are, the 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:55.200 people that know better. 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:59.719 But you're freaking cowards. I hate you so much. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.880
