I 127 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: actually got an argument with a friend because a white friend, 128 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: because they thought that most of the Indians in the 129 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: US are Republican because so many of the famous ones 130 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: are like Bobby, It's like all the like, all the 131 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: famous political Indians are like but like most of the 132 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: voting base is Democrat. Is like, we're all Democrats. And 133 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: so like everybody I've interacted with across the country, I've 134 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: met like one Indian Republican and that's it. And I 135 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, I think it was like over 136 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: seventy for Hillary or something like that. But I think 137 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: you see two because the Conservatives love to embrace a 138 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: token minority at any moment. So yeah, it's true, like 139 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: in your mind, it's like, well, politically, I'm thinking of 140 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: these people, but yeah, yeah, it's for the most part, 141 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: I think most people come to the United States with 142 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: it like a decent, like at least a different perspective 143 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: on how the world works when they arrive here, versus 144 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, Americans who are just you know, we're in 145 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: this one culture that they can tally be like yeah, yeah, yeah, 146 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: I can see what this is going on here. I 147 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: prefer this this side over here because I think I 148 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: know where this one goes or vice versa. But anyway, yeah, 149 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: and I think also like are like we're not like 150 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: encouraged to like the politicians, so like the people that 151 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: are are kind of like outliers, I think, um, and 152 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: also like we are like we're just I think like 153 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Indians in the US are just realizing that we do 154 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: have like political power after like gaining financial stability here 155 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: because it's the immigrant mentality of like the doctor, be 156 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: an engineer, get your ship together. Um. And then now 157 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: like my in Utah, all of these like Indian people 158 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: like donated to the Democratic Party to like oust this 159 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: person who was like uh who was like a Republican 160 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: in that seat, and they I think they were able 161 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: to do it. And I'm like fuck, yeah, dad, go off. Yeah, 162 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: I think I think another thing that's interesting.

Not like that it's uncomfortable, but it was 165 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: something I was thinking about while I was, you know, 166 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: looking for DVDs to bring in to be a substitute teacher. Um. 167 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: A friend of mine works in government in Colorado, and 168 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, he's been looking a lot like what's been 169 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: going on in the country, right. I think we're really 170 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: there is a moment here where a lot of people 171 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: are coming in touch with their power on some level, 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: whether that's being like I'll be more I'll stand up 173 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: more vocally for the things I believe, or I'll confront 174 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: injustice more head on than I used to. I won't 175 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: retreat in the face of these things. Um. But one 176 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: thing that he was mentioning is that there really is 177 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: a problem with our generation even looking at working in 178 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: government as a possibility. Right, not to say that it's 179 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: a good or bad thing, but he works with a 180 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: lot of these like people who are of the same 181 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: mindset that you know, the elected officials. That's not going 182 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: to be a problem. Those voices will naturally come out there. 183 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I think most people would. You know, they look at 184 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: that as being the cool thing of being like front 185 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: and like being an elected official and having like this 186 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: pulpit to preach from. But there's also like this thing 187 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: of like the bureaucracy of it all too because at 188 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: a local level. These people are also doing having the 189 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: kinds of ideas of like, well, what do we do 190 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: with this budget surplus? And if there aren't as many 191 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: people who are in the same like social justice mindset 192 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: and things like that, those ideas can fail to materialize 193 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: an effective way because of all the you know, all 194 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: the hands that are on it on its way to 195 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: becoming a reality. So it's just something interesting because they're saying, like, 196 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: especially with gen Z more than millennials even, are completely 197 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: like they don't even give it. Like the idea of 198 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: working in government at all in any capacity is like 199 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: a total like nonstarter. Mm hmm. That's that could actually 200 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: like work against us, is what you're saying. Yeah, or 201 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, like the kinds of because at the end 202 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: of the day, like sure, the policies will be there, 203 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: but then who are the people really putting them to work? 204 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: And are they doing it faithfully? And are there enough 205 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: people who understand what the intent is of these laws 206 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: or whatever to work it out? But you know, I 207 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: just like fuck the system, Yeah I'm gonna do or 208 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: you look at like, oh, I work for the government, 209 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: Like that's literally how I feel like I would think 210 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: about in my head, I'm like, okay, but put on 211 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: my tie and not smoke weed. That's like that's pcent. 212 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, for some I don't know 213 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: if my parents ever explicitly said it, like they definitely 214 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: wanted me to be an engineer, um, but they like 215 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: they I don't think they ever explicitly said it, but 216 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: somehow I knew. I was like, if I go to 217 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: the military, if I go to some government positions, I'm 218 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: going to be responsible for killing people. And like I 219 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: need to say the funk away from that, Like I 220 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: just knew as a kid. I was like, I'm not 221 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: going anywhere near that. That is not for me. And 222 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: like I there are plenty of people who um, yeah, 223 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: like you said, who would like actually like change the 224 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: system from within that are being like that just never 225 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: it's never an option for them, which it's protective, but no. Yeah, 226 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: And I have like friends who you know, like work 227 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: specifically on things like healthcare, like for a county or 228 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: something or a state, and they know like what healthcare 229 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: would mean to the people of like of their county 230 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: or state. But then they have other but who are 231 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: still looking at the whole concept of it completely wrong. 232 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: And then you end up being like an isolated voice 233 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: in a sea of like this monolithic thinking. Um. So yeah, 234 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: not to say that like we have a duty to 235 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: do it, but it is interesting to think about, is like, 236 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: as much as we want all these changes too, like 237 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: there there really needs to be a way that we 238 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: are at the levers at at as many points of 239 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: contact as possible, because I think that's the only way 240 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: to optimize a lot of the change. But but I 241 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's you know, that's one way of looking 242 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: at it, because I think at the end of the day, 243 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: people are going to do what they want to do 244 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: and engage with a system of government that they want 245 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: to or don't. But it's I thought it was an 246 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: interesting idea. It's like it's like really short term versus 247 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: long term. Short term like we have to we have 248 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: to have people in there now to like stop the 249 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: damage of people dying now. Long term we have to 250 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: like totally revamp the system, right, because it's like, if 251 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: you're signing up for a life in like any sort 252 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: of government employe and you want to do good, you're 253 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: just signing up for a life of extreme frustration at 254 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: every single turn. And like, yeah, we're how are you 255 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: able to balance that? And at what point does it 256 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: become worth it versus because it's like, are you it's 257 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: one way to look at it. Are you working for 258 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 1: the government. Are you trying to change something internally? And 259 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: I think it's a dangerous game to even think you can, 260 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: because God help me, I tried getting up in the system. 261 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: We could do something and I'm like nope. But I 262 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: think I just think just very practically right, like, sure 263 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: a law is put in place, but then those regulations 264 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: have to be written, and then someone's going to have 265 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: to build a website and communicate that to constituents. And 266 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: if those like the people who are in those visions 267 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: like aren't up to scruff, then like people are gonna 268 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, what the funk was that program that 269 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: didn't work? Or this is that or the other. So 270 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: just just a thinking, just something I think about in 271 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: my in my bed at night after drinking a full 272 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: gallon of hose water. Yeah, as I'm having yeah, like 273 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: a weird fever dream from like Giardia. Oh, like dude, 274 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: they are there enough? Are there enough? Who was being bureaucrats? Funny? 275 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: Keep this government going? Or what I'm like, how do 276 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: we burn it? Do we burn it down? And we 277 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: like smolder it down from the inside from all funked up. 278 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: So pardon me, guys, blame the l e w ps. Uh. 279 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: Do not also, do not look at those water reports. Okay, 280 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: oh god, I don't want to how much cryptosporidium I've ingested? 281 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna come back real quick. But before 282 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: we do that, let's take a quick break and we're back. 283 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated? Teresa? Um? I 284 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: think vakleff Hovel is underrated. Um, I've been screaming about 285 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: him for a while, but I think that we don't 286 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: study enough about access stories of you know, human rights 287 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: and democracy in um foreign countries, and I think for 288 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: a reason, you know, patriotism and propaganda. But I've I mean, 289 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: most people kind of know about him through his UM 290 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: peace efforts, but I first learned about him through uh 291 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: studying screenwriting at n y U because we read one 292 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: of his plays. So he was a playwright in the 293 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Czech Republic. Well he actually created the Czech Republic, but 294 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: he was there during the Communist USSR time time, and 295 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: he used his plays to sort of you know, kind 296 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: of like the way comedians do, just push um his 297 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: ideas out. But it got so popular that he became 298 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: a dissident and his plays were banned, and then he 299 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: started um distributing his like they're like one act plays, 300 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: a lot of them, so they're short. He distributed them 301 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: via like the Just People, and people would put them 302 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: on in their living rooms to spread the ideas. And 303 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: these weren't ideas like propaganda that it was just like 304 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: free thought. Like he really pushed the idea of like 305 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: critical thinking and free thought against the communist regime. And 306 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: he um ended up leading a peaceful protests. Well, you know, 307 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: people still got hurt, but overall it's like a success 308 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: story because it was the most gentle revolution. I think 309 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: it was like eighty nine in UM Czechoslovakia, where one 310 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: day they did a general strike with seventy of the 311 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: country doing the general strike, and it worked because you know, 312 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: everybody thinks with money, so the communists let them have 313 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: fairy elections. He established the Czech Republic, became the president, 314 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: and then went on to continue fighting for human rights 315 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: and democracy and want a peace prize. And it all 316 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: started because he was a playwright. Yeah, so and we 317 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: just don't. I feel like we think of, um, a 318 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: lot of those Eastern European countries as like socialists. In America, 319 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: we're almost pushed against them. But he literally defeated communism. Um. 320 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, to American standards, I would say they probably 321 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: fall on the socialist spectrum. So I think that's why 322 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: we don't study that in our school. That's fascinating. That 323 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: is first of all, best underrated in such a long time. 324 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: Not to not to ship talk anybody else's underrated, No, 325 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: but that's a that's amazing and that's such so interesting. 326 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned comedians in the United States, I feel 327 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: like the thing that most comedians do with their success 328 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: is just become Republicans, like start trying to protect their 329 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: wealth um and that. Yeah, that's so it's almost impossible 330 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: to imagine. Yeah, totally, we all aspire to become Republicans, 331 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: like tre and I are actually like running together. Has 332 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: there been an example of an artist in the United 333 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: States who has like done something that politically relevant and successful, 334 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: because isn't there another like current and we have the 335 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: version where yeah, we got the dystopian version. Well, I 336 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: think the difference for him was he he didn't um, 337 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: combine the forms, like he was still a playwright and 338 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: in his place, they weren't. I mean, I guess depending 339 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: on what side you're on. The Communist could say it's propaganda, 340 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: but they just felt like, you know, intrins had intrinsic 341 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: artistic value as place that explored all points of views, 342 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 1: and you could, you know, you could watch it and 343 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: decide your own. You could decide you like communism after 344 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: watching it. Like his goal wasn't too uh change your 345 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: point of view. His goal was for freedom of expression. 346 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: So then when he became a politician, he was doing 347 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: that job. So I like that he wasn't like and 348 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: now I'll just use this to sell my place. But 349 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: if people are curious, I did buy his UM because 350 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: we read a one act called Protests in school that 351 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: I really liked. So I ended up buying the full 352 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: collection and I have that It's only fifteen pages. I 353 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: haven't scanned. So if anyone wants to, yeah me, I'll 354 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: email you the PDF. I don't want to post it 355 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: because it is still like you know, copyrights, but this 356 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: is educational, so I'll send it to you of email me. UM. 357 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, it kind of um speaks to the whole. 358 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: Uh Like at the beginning of these recent protests where 359 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: people were arguing within the left about what to do 360 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: to be right. Um, like you know when people posted 361 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: the black squares and then they started yelling at each other. 362 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: So his that place sort of speaks to It's like 363 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: two people talking but they're both anti communists, but they 364 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: kind of get into this nuance of like, well, I'm 365 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: doing this because I have wealth and I can't totally 366 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: show my cards, but don't worry, I'm on the right side. 367 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of that sort of Oh my god, 368 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: that sounds v relevant and it's funny. He's he's a 369 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: funny guy. Uh. Zelinski is the guy was thinking of 370 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: in the modern sense. It was like an actual like 371 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: Ukraine comedian who who became like the head of state, uh, 372 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: who we all now know about because right, yeah exactly. 373 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: And I don't I don't think he's like super progressive necessarily. 374 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: Um Like, it's not like he was their finest artists 375 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: who people were going to study in universities anyways and 376 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: became their leader. But still like they I don't know, 377 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: there's something about American culture that, um, up to this 378 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: point in our history has not allowed like that crossover 379 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: from like progressive, thoughtful, artistically valid artists over to the 380 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: political sphere. It's just been uh Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald 381 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: Reagan and Charlton Heston. I think it might be because 382 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: we put so much emphasis on monetary success, and to 383 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: become successful you have to make a lot of money, 384 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: and like that usually dilutes the art. Not always, okay, 385 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: I know it's not always true, but often it dilutes 386 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: the artistic value. So by the time you get to 387 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: that point, you do dilute the message a bit. Whereas 388 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: and I'm not a communist, I'm an American. Whatever you 389 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: guys want to say is fine, but I like money 390 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: to um. But I also I feel like when you 391 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: get to that level, if your only goal is money, 392 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: then it's going to be less about spreading ideas and 393 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: more about just keeping your wealth and your business because 394 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: at that point people depend on you, so it's not 395 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: like selfish to keep the business going. If you're paying 396 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: people's rent, you sound like a communist, But okay, Cynthia 397 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: Nixon would be like a recent example of someone who 398 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: is like attempted to do that. But I guess, yeah, 399 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: there's far less left leaning examples that are successful because 400 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: writers stupid. Yeah, well they're not. Their whole goal is 401 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: to take on any other character but themselves, and then 402 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: we like erased writers. So I feel like in Europe, 403 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: or at least back in the you know, philosophical Enlightenment days, 404 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: it was a lot more reading and focus on ideas, 405 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: and now it's all about appearances. So yeah, I mean 406 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: sin the next thing. I don't know her policies enough. 407 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: I remember when she was running, but she's famous from 408 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: an acting role, so it's we don't know, you know, 409 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: how she really feels as a person until she comes 410 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: out and says it right. Yeah, that is interesting though, 411 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: that that that is what our politicians are is essentially actors. Um, 412 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: it's deep. Man, just fucking nailed him. Bro. Uh, That's 413 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: why I'm unsuccessful in Hollywood. What is something from your 414 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are? Hilarious? Um, guys, 415 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: My searches three lately has been how to move to Canada, 416 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: how to move to Netherlands, how to we was in Germany? Um? 417 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: And has there ever been a black writer on the Simpsons? 418 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: Those are the things that I recently searched for. There 419 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: hasn't been a black writer on the Simpsons. There has actually, 420 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's ever been a black woman. Michael 421 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: Carrington is a black writer on the Simpsons, and I'm 422 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: pretty sure Mark Wilmore is also. I don't know if 423 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: he's currently but I'm pretty sure he did write on 424 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: the Simpsons. But anybody in those first eight seasons, I 425 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, and I highly doubt it. Yeah, 426 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: but yeah, interesting you And so you're also looking at 427 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: some some cool getaway options, some cool getaways, um, some 428 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: refugee situations because Americans have been blocked from going to 429 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: other countries anywhere. I'm not going anyway, um, but I 430 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: just want to be prepared because to me, like, I'm 431 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: not looking at it just because of what's happening right now, 432 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: because I've been black this entire time and it's been 433 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: dangerous the whole time. So I'm just like, I just think, 434 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: long term, do I want to be in And I'm 435 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: thinking like this because of the response that America has 436 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: had to a lot of these crises, um, and I 437 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: it just feels like overall America doesn't seem to have 438 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: the political will at least not yet. And I'm like, 439 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how bad it needs to get um 440 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: for there to be like, you know, every fucking mayor 441 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: in America, every fucking government in America, like you know, 442 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: standing up and being like this stuff needs to be 443 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: passed right now. So so it's that kind of mindset, 444 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: that long term mindset that's getting me to google these things. Yeah, 445 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: until the class of people changes that are politics, it's 446 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: never going to change because we have people who are 447 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: operating in a completely different realm of existence and their 448 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: antena i are are tuned to a completely different frequency 449 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: than the human beings that are their constituents. So they're 450 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: so oblivious to everything and nothing is pressing they're they're 451 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: so oblivious even in the midst of crisis, even in 452 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: the midst of every you one in the country becoming 453 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: enlightened to what's really going on, and they're oblivious to 454 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: their own bias and they're oblivious to their own ability 455 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: to like, they're still very much tied to these these 456 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: um the politics of six months ago, you know what 457 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: I mean. I'm just like, like the way that the 458 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: Los Angeles in particular has put up such a fight 459 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: to defunding police doing anything. It doesn't show any real 460 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: moral reconciliation. It doesn't show any real like apology, like 461 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: holy shit, we're sorry. Holy shit, we're racist, and so 462 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: are our policies. And here's what we're gonna do to 463 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: change it. It is an emergency. And it's like and 464 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: also everyone here is poor, um and you know, and 465 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: there's too much income inequality and we need to fix 466 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: it right now. What can we do? So I just 467 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: I just feel like, girl, I'm tired. I'm just like, 468 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: you know what, go we go somewhere that is not 469 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: trying me mentally constantly. Did you find out is there, 470 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: like what's the easiest place to move to? None of them, Yeah, 471 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: none of them a time getting into Holland Texas. None 472 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: of them are easy. None of them are easy. My 473 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: my husband has some family in Canada, which is why 474 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: it's eat that's the first option. But otherwise it's like, 475 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, none of them are easy. And I don't 476 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: have any skills, like a television writer in Hollywood, like 477 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: a lot of these high for high skilled workers. You know, 478 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: you can if you get a job there. You have 479 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: to get a job. And also it's just like this 480 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: is like a very I'm very privileged, Like I don't 481 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: have ties, I don't have children, I don't have things 482 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: that can make me that can make it even harder 483 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: to move. Um, but it's hard to move anyway, It's so. 484 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: And I just started looking into it, especially when you 485 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: look at that COVID map of North America and you 486 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: look at the like that border wall up north, They're like, bro, 487 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: you must be out your mind as in here, right, 488 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: And I totally get it. I totally get it. You know, 489 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm an immigrant to America, so I get it. But 490 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: those were the days h probably wanted to get in 491 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: here instead of the funk out uh the Mexican border.

You know, because the world has changed. 511 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: And the thing is like this person very innocently said 512 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: it because they don't realize, they don't realize really and 513 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: and it is like that to me is so quintessential 514 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: of the American problem.

It does suggest that it really is basically, 534 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: we had all the systems in place, we just had 535 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: the wrong administration. In no way read that. Yeah, it's 536 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: worth it's worth checking out.

They did 542 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: not earn all their money. They exploited other people's labor, 543 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: intellectual physical They have vast schemes of not paying taxes, 544 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: which allows them to accrue that amount of money their investments. 545 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: Then doubled down on that. They didn't earn their billions. 546 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: Maybe a few million, Yeah, but like getting into the 547 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: billion bezos trillionaire territory.

Actually, so they all these cries of censorship 659 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: has you know, led people to be like essentially, especially 660 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: from I think the left, even saying what rip like 661 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: what conservatives say to people when like they have when 662 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: they criticize, Like if a progressive criticize the country is like, well, 663 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: if you hate it so much, why do you go 664 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: start your own country? Why don't you leave and start 665 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: your own country. So, uh, this is kind of a 666 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: logical extension where they're right is, now, why don't you 667 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: go start your own Twitter? Then why don't you go 668 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: off do your own thing, and you could just be 669 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: you guys, just do your own just not bother anybody, 670 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: And they did Hence Parlor Um and just reading their 671 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: about page is fantastic. This gives you an idea that 672 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: this is such a safe space. It says Parlor is 673 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: a non bio ist, free speech driven entity. Our goal 674 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: is to offer the world a platform that protects users rights, 675 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: supports publishers, and builds online communities. Parlor aims to empower 676 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: users to control their their social experience. Users can be 677 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: responsible to engage content as they see fit. We are 678 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: not regulators. We are on our governors. We are a community. 679 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: Parlor accepts your right to express your thoughts, opinions, and 680 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: ideals online. Okay, so remember that they accept your right 681 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: to see an unlike Twitter. Um, yeah, it just sounds 682 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: like a terrible place to be honest, just like Twitter. There, 683 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's like not that Twitter is a 684 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 1: fun place to be, but it's just there's I mean, 685 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: and there's been a number of apps like this that 686 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: have cropped up in the past as well, and they 687 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: all sort of tend to be done away with kind 688 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: of quickly. I remember there was one called, like do 689 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: you remember this is like a couple of years ago, 690 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: but it was called like the Great American App. Sorry, 691 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: I unplugged my headphone. What would you say? There's Oh, 692 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: there was something called I think it was let Me 693 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: Double Chuck, but it was I think it was literally 694 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: called the Great American App. That was like another conservative 695 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, just a place where people can be racist 696 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: towards each other all day long. I thought that was Facebook. 697 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: The thing is like they don't even really need their 698 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: own because they're already doing like I think they really 699 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: wanted to though, you know what I mean, because the 700 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: thing is sort of wait a minute, but like wait, 701 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: The Great America App includes ride wait times for your 702 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: favorite rides, an interacting guy, an app though six flags 703 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: right in the wave into the future. Um okay, so 704 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 1: it's called it's called the Great America was the name 705 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: of the app. I think it no longer exists. All 706 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: that to say, there have been attempts at this before 707 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: and it never works, and it's always really embarrassing right, 708 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 1: and the problem is right. And this is where we 709 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: begin to see what the relationship is of conservatism in 710 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: this country to you know, I guess the rest of society. 711 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: Um So when they have their own private party, they 712 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: go and they're like, oh, finally they go, and their 713 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: whole thing is like, well, hey, there's just like I think, 714 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: like four thousand people here, there's not that many people 715 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: on here, and everyone is just singularly all maga minded, 716 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: which means there's no libs to fucking pone or to troll. 717 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: To the point where this is in this political article, 718 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: they say, quote, the magnification problem is so bad that 719 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: CEO and founder John Matt's has openly begged progressive pundits 720 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: to join the platform, offering a progressive bounty quote unquote 721 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: of twenty dollars to any left wing influencer with a 722 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: following of fifty or more users on Twitter who make 723 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 1: an account. He's begging, he's gonna pay, as they see 724 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: libs to come on. So they so his like sad, 725 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: sad audience has someone to like argue with. That's where 726 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: we're at. Will can I pay you to come over 727 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: to play with my child? Is that okay? Because I 728 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: know Mike. No one likes to play with Mike. I 729 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: will pay you to come over, uh and then maybe 730 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: he'll just throw it at you can I Okay, I 731 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: was trying to find it. I can't find it. But um, 732 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,240 Speaker 1: there was somebody who got on Parlor early two people 733 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: and they made like the real Candice Owens and the 734 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: real Tommy larn accounts before Tommy and Candice got on there, 735 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: and I was trying to find it. But it's so funny, dude. 736 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: They're like progressive people who like just made those accounts 737 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: and they had like sixty followers immediately. It's but that 738 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: is wonderful. So it's I think it's all to say that, 739 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: like their experiment is backfiring, you know what I mean? 740 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 1: Like they even one of these people who's describing Parlor 741 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: in comparison to Twitter, Uh, this guy Will Chamberlain and 742 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: just just trash. He says. The question is not pure engagement. 743 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: The question is influence. Twitter is interesting because there's so 744 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: many people it in people that can be influenced. Parlor 745 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: is not that. So this idea that it's like, so 746 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: you need to go to a larger platform to influence people. 747 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: But they aren't interested in your bullshit and therefore cannot 748 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: be swayed. So your solution is to keep saying the 749 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: thing that is only repulsing people, like the loop is 750 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: really flawed. Um much like any kind of you know, 751 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: shitty ideology. But it's really like, in a way, I'm like, 752 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe some people have to begin connecting the 753 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: dots on some level, right because I mean not that 754 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: I count them to think be that critical, but the 755 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: maga set has to know, like they can't go beyond 756 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 1: the cis het set in terms of people they can 757 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: bring in, So like, what what's gonna give here? It's 758 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: just it's like it's interesting because like I think for 759 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 1: people on the left who are like influencers or activists 760 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: or whatever, like we are fighting for people, and it 761 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: seems like these people just like very literally are just 762 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: fighting against people. So if you like completely disengage and 763 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: don't give them attention, which is what everybody is like 764 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: saying to do. With gun Girl and Tommy larn it's 765 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: like they're literally just making money being ship bags because 766 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 1: they know that they can make money doing that and 767 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: culture they can get a rise, they'll make money, and 768 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: so it's it's like it's more evil than the people 769 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: who like actually believe that ship, because it's like, oh, 770 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: you're literally just doing this for money. It's not even 771 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,399 Speaker 1: some idea that you're right, um, and and so when 772 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: you remove their source of income, then they like they 773 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: have nothing. So it's like, oh, it's just very clearly 774 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: painting a picture that you are only like adversarial and 775 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: are not part of a community that's fighting for a 776 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 1: greater good. Because like if you take what happened with 777 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,720 Speaker 1: like my Miloonopolis like back in the day, like people 778 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 1: just stopped engaging with him and he kind of had 779 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 1: to disappear like completely d platform, lost everything, and you 780 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: should because you can't. You shouldn't be able to profit 781 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: off of hate like that. And I think to your point, 782 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: you know, like right wing celebrity is just built on 783 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: unsustainable ground to begin with, because like you say, like 784 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: you gain notoriety by saying provocative ship that is on 785 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 1: the fringes of acceptable discourse or you know, a public 786 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: discourse to an audience that is only seeing like destruction, 787 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: Like they go there because it's like break some ship, 788 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: I want to see, funk it up. There's no interesting 789 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: growth absolutely zero interesting growth. It's pure destruction, which is 790 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: just like the logical pivot for powerless people is the 791 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: next best thing is if you can't build, then you 792 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: can destroy, because then at least you can feel some 793 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: power in the destruction of something. So when when your 794 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: celebrity is built on something so like you know, chaotic, 795 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: you're naturally just gets you ostracized from the mainstream. Yet 796 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: they need the whole thing is like their existence is 797 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 1: purely built on just being in opposition to whatever they 798 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: perceive is the mainstream. So it's just like yeah, like 799 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: if your whole complaint about a site is that there 800 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: aren't enough people to troll, then like on your own site, 801 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: then you were never interested in freedom of speech to 802 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 1: begin with. You know what I mean, what are you doing, Like, 803 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 1: how are you spending your time just explaining to people 804 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: who agree with them why you shouldn't care about other people? 805 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: Just boring very I do just want to because I'm 806 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: looking at the basic rules of parlor or listened in 807 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: the dark, and I will just I mean just a 808 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 1: quick well, well, unlike the mental organization in parlor, you 809 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 1: cannot threaten to kill anyone in the comments section, that's 810 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: not in the t os for MENSA. That's why they 811 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: kept threatening to kill me and then and no one 812 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: will get killed out kicked out. They kept starting to 813 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,919 Speaker 1: kill you. There was like a guy that would repeatedly 814 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: just like yeah, NonStop, and and they you should you 815 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: should have been on parlor parlor. You're safer on parlor 816 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: on parlor, and then that MENSA doesn't that look at 817 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean something supremises organization. But that's another story. But 818 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: but the rules for parlor are your user name cannot 819 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: be obscene, like come dumpster.

They only take 845 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: one one type of ship posting. Okay again, it's just 846 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 1: like that. I mean, I know that we've been just 847 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 1: but like this time last summer, we were doing this 848 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: to the Jeremy Renner app, and now we're doing it 849 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: to fucking the most evil conservative apple. This is the 850 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: same way that the Jeremy Renner app was was taken off, 851 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 1: was with these with these exact tactics and that ship. 852 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: If we could take Renter down, take Tarler down, everybody, 853 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: And it was like launched in. The Jeremy Renner app 854 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 1: was meant to be a place to do fun things 855 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: and then they got taken Jeremy Render. I mean we 856 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: we talked about it basically all last summer. But like 857 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 1: the Jeremy Render app, you could buy stars, so you 858 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: were giving Jeremy Renner money so that Jeremy Renner would 859 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: see your comment, and then you could also give stars 860 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 1: to other users. But they other you like you're still 861 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: just giving Jeremy Rennery Infinity loops.
