So it wasn't all bad, but 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: mostly it was It felt good to be part of 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: a club. I imagine a lot of online trolls feel 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: this way too, so I excuse my any particular egregious 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: offensive comments about how Stephanie was fat or looked like 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: a man. In exchange for my membership, I tried to 16 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: focus on the few and far between positives. When the 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: site moderates Stay would host a meet up in New York, 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: I decided to go. Making the lead from online to 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: offline friendship is always risky, but with a few positive, 20 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 2: pathetic version of the counters under my belt, I thought, 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: what's the worst that could happen. I made the hour 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: long track from Queen's to a dive bar in Brooklyn, 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: and I dis and discovered I joined a mean girl 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: style clique. If you've ever made a friend online, you 25 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: understand the intensity of that kind of friendship. It's no 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: less quote unquote real than any friendship with someone you 27 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: met at school or work. I assumed that my fellow 28 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: pves would be less snarky in real life and more 29 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: like the kinds of people I'd want to hang out 30 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: with on the regular, But the whole thing felt blatantly uncool. 31 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: I had assumed Stephanie would be the unspoken elephant slash 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: beast in the room. We'd act as if we'd known 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: each other for ages, in between knowing winks and inside jokes. Instead, 34 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: they wouldn't stop talking about Stephanie. Things got even stranger 35 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: with one of the moderators, let's call her XX, Josiecat XX, 36 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: lashed on to me as if we'd been friends forever, 37 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: this wouldn't have been so strange. 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: We'd spent years paling around online together. 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: If Josie Cat hadn't been so nasty to me in 40 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: the months and years we'd spent on the site when 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: one of the other pvs Pathetic Versers that's the name 42 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: of the group, discover. 43 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: My YouTube channel. 44 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: Josie Cat had called me out as a being just 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: jealous of Stephanie, which I was, but so was everyone else. 46 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: That was why we established an entire website to make 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: fun of her. Naturally, I was a little nervous to 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: meet Josie Cat face to face, but instead of delivering 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: cutting insults, she wouldn't stop fawning all over me. She 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: paraded me around the bar, asking people if they met 51 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: me or watched my hilarious videos. Though now I'm more 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: familiar with the ways people's personality shift when they'd closed 53 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: their laptops and get into the real world, it felt 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: completely bizarre and embarrassing at the time. It suddenly became 55 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: very clear how much time I'd wasted with these people. 56 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: Instead of working on videos or taking an acting class 57 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: and doing literally anything valuable, I'd spend a significant portion 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: of my life for the past two years coming up 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: with the mean conspiracy theories about a d list New 60 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: York Meetia, a celebrity who was off partying and booking gigs. 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: While I made jokes about becoming an old spinster with 62 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: no one to cut off but her cats, and I 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: really don't like cats.

A lot of people actually not 120 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 5: in that world and don't care, or because you're busy 121 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 5: off doing your own thing. 122 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: Like they said, who the fuck got time for that? 123 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: Right? 124 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 5: If you are actually taking care of your business and 125 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 5: taking care of things in your. 126 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 4: Life, you know you don't have time for it. 127 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 5: But for a lot of people, they feel like I've 128 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 5: invested in X, Y and Z, so since I've invested 129 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: in it, I want a return on my investment. And 130 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 5: for some people, a return on their investment is hating 131 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 5: on it. 132 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everyone could make con for shit if 133 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 2: they hate you know, if they if what they choose 134 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: to make time for it. And I think what's interesting 135 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: about this is, like you said, Game of Thrones last 136 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: season is a perfect example, and it started before last season, 137 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: but last season was the ultimate bonding over shared hatred 138 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: and watching people just shit on something all day. 139 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 3: It was a pastime. 140 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: It was right. You know, people were literally dedicating, you know, 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: all hours of the day to going online to talk 142 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: bad about that show. And because I'm just kind of 143 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: naturally a person that does not gravitate towards hate bonds, 144 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: I don't gravitate. 145 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: Towards shared dislike bonds with people. 146 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 5: That's why we don't click. In a lot of times, 147 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 5: I separate myself. And the thing is, when you separate 148 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 5: yourselves from. 149 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: These groups like this, a lot of people I people 150 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: say that. 151 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: Children do this, but it does do this thing too. 152 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 5: Clicks and being a part of the crowd and not 153 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 5: being left out. Adults fall for this too, And a 154 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 5: lot of people who actually sometimes don't even fuk about 155 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 5: the subject goes, oh, that's what we're talking about.

And 177 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: in some sport like it's like it's very much a 178 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: human thing. And I think the Internet has allowed people 179 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: to exacerbate it because before the Internet, you just you 180 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: would be the guy who hated James Harden and maybe 181 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: a couple other people would talk to you at the 182 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: basketball court every once in a while. But now we 183 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: have unfettered, twenty four to seven access to each other 184 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: and it's never off and it doesn't matter where you 185 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: are in your world and where I am in the world, 186 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: right we can we can join up and share this dislike. 187 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: And so these communities that are created through you know, 188 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: people enjoying something can easily turn it to the same 189 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: like this afshoot community of people who hate something, you know. 190 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: And it's kind of interesting that Fran being a person 191 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: that we know has gone into you know, was the 192 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: queen of the YouTube call out, you know, the person 193 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: that you know had decoded on MTV that like like 194 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: she you know, she's known as the person that is 195 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: for the stuff. And I loved reading her book because 196 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: it kind of goes into, you know, her own creation, 197 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: like how she ended up being a part being on 198 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: both sides of this culture, like the same kind of 199 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: people that harassed her. She was in a group of peoples. 200 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: Now they weren't supposed to be harassing this stephany woman, 201 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: but still she was in a group of people that 202 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: were just negatively egging on and getting off on dunking 203 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: on this this woman and created their own friendships. And 204 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: I love the part where they get off they get offline, 205 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 2: they go, let's meet up in real life and she 206 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: has that disconnected moment of like, well, this person I 207 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: know doesn't like me. But then when we're offline and 208 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: in front of everybody, it is cool. It's this is 209 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: my fave, you know. So it's like I can like, 210 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: I can imagine, you know, that's a weird feeling. That's 211 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: a weird thing to think about. But I just thought 212 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: that was very poignant and very relevant to today. 213 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a mixed bag of emotions because the person 214 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 5: you see online it's the person. 215 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 4: You see offline. 216 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 5: But over the years, I've learned a lot of people 217 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 5: not like that. The person you see waking up every 218 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 5: day fucking banging and the world is gonna burn. 219 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 4: And do you meet those people in real life and 220 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 4: you go, oh. 221 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 5: You don't have the same energy something something Now I've 222 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 5: met something to do some like yeah, I'm the same 223 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 5: way all the time, but a lot of high percentage don't. 224 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 5: It's like a it's like a personality switch when they 225 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,479 Speaker 5: get online. 226 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you know, also, because of the 227 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: power of the Internet, people get to kind of recreate 228 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: and reinvent themselves. So if you were the kids who 229 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: got bullied in high school, here's your opportunity to recreate 230 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: yourself as a person who essentially woke bullies everybody on 231 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: social media. 232 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: Now you you know. 233 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: Every picture you have, you got your face beat to 234 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 2: the gods and the right perfect angle. So just because 235 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 2: it's all about you know, impressing these people online, every 236 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: opinion you have is filtered and triple checked and and 237 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: and always correct. Every news story you're giving the perfect 238 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 2: take and all that stuff. And it allows people to 239 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: kind of have a world where you recreate it yourself, right, 240 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: and no self can live up to these recreations. These 241 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: you know, these places where we share our highs, but 242 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: not often our loads. We share, you know, we share 243 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: our achievements, but not the reality behind those achievements, not 244 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: you know, that kind of stuff, you know, and the 245 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: places where a momentary lapse of judgment can literally, you know, 246 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: stick with you for the rest of your life. So 247 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: you know, these places aren't really real. They're like a hyperrealism. 248 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: That's that's just that that that I think really causes 249 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 2: people to uh to to latch onto each other and 250 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: latch on the things that may not be healthy for him. 251 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: And I think that's something that you know, like I said, 252 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: I definitely had struggled with to a certain extent. But 253 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: it was good reading her book because I was like, Okay, 254 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: so this is kind of that the consequences of this 255 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: stuff and being analytical person, a thinking person and going 256 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: through all this stuff. And I think especially that part 257 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: about the girl who really talked shit about her all 258 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: for years, months and years literally showed up and was like, Okay, 259 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: here's my chance to be attached to a person that 260 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: is doing things and so now she's great. And you 261 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: know what that you know, who else you probably did 262 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: that to Stephanie in a way, like maybe not physically, 263 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 2: maybe she never met her, but that's her whole thing? 264 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: Is I shit on Stephanie? But also like when people 265 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: think about Stephanie, I want her to think about me. 266 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: When you will think. 267 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: About friends, I want them to think about me, the 268 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: person that paraded them around the room, this talented person 269 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: like look at this, look at this, even though I've 270 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 2: been calling this person jealous and all this weird shit. 271 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: I would never say to that face on social media, 272 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: you know, or in that case on the form. 273 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 5: So yeah, and like you said, we've we've seen it 274 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 5: in real life in various different ways. 275 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 4: How a lot of people's that's people's brand, like. 276 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 5: They shit shit shit shit shit shit on shit and 277 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 5: then you know, eventually you catch somebody's attention with the negativity. 278 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 5: And the thing is a lot of it was just 279 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 5: to get into the room and to get their attention, 280 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 5: and then once you get into the room, you. 281 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 4: A lot of times you have to change that because 282 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 4: they was. 283 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 5: Like, hey, you know what, you're actually a part now 284 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 5: and we don't actually don't want you to publicly chitting 285 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 5: on hit wants to bring you into our platform and 286 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 5: all this stuff.

You're not really changing anything. You're not 320 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: convincing people. The people that need to be convinced aren't 321 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: listening to you, and the ones that need to listen 322 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: to you won't be convinced. And you're watching the same 323 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: thing happen, and there's no effect you really can have 324 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: on the outcome of these things unless you're voting in 325 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: your vote or you're organizing something offline, and even then 326 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: there's a limit to that, you know. So it's been 327 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: interesting to watch it from the outside looking in this 328 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: year and be like, okay, like cause I just don't 329 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: feel that level of involvement as far as online, Like 330 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: I have my thoughts, I think about everything, I read 331 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. But and so it made me 332 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: think of that too, like this idea of having to 333 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: pull back and opt out. You know, when Stephanie decided 334 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: to cut down her comments, that was when these motherfuckers 335 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: created a whole nother group because they needed something to hate, 336 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: They needed a place to hate.

And I went and listened to I can't 391 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: remember the name of the episode. I think it was 392 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 2: called something like Cancel Culture. It may have been from 393 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: late last year. Forgive me for not knowing off the 394 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: top of my head, but I listened to that episode 395 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: particularly because I wanted to know what Jamie felt about 396 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 2: it once she had experienced it, you know, because I 397 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 2: feel like a huge part of Black Girl Nerves culture 398 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: before that, and I'm talking about the site was kind 399 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: of cancel culture. It was kind of like this isn't 400 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: good enough, that's not good enough. We shouldn't see this, 401 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 2: we shouldn't support this, and shouldn't you know, And it 402 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: was very much like a person fucked up on Twitter 403 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: or something. They were talking about this person forever. They 404 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: were bringing up those yeah, like on Twitter, the Twitter 405 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: kind of environment. It's one of the reasons I never 406 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: really felt comfortable building communities with like quote unquote blurs, 407 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: because a lot of blur culture online is just very 408 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 2: much like the sky's falling. 409 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: Everything is bad, everything. 410 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 2: Is terrible, and we don't really like any fucking thing, 411 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: and so I just didn't like. I didn't like that environment. 412 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: I'm not knocking it. It's just not for me, and 413 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: I know I don't fit in well with it. I 414 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 2: remember once someone added me to a blurred group or 415 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: something when faced when Twitter used to allow people to 416 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 2: add people in these DM groups. I know you hate it, 417 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 2: but when they used to allow people to do this, 418 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: they someone did that to me. And it was supposed 419 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: to be this blurred group where we were all supposed 420 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: to go in there and be like, ooh, this next 421 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: black project is going out, but instead of just turned 422 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 2: into no one liked anything, you know. And I'm just 423 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: not the kind of person that can get into that. 424 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: I don't I don't need to know the twenty five 425 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: reasons Buffy sucked. And if I you know, and if 426 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: I go, oh, I like Black Panther, you're gonna find 427 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: a way to tell me that that was terrible. Like, Okay, well, 428 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: I didn't ask for this. I didn't want, you know, 429 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: I don't bail community like this. So but the thing 430 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: that was interesting is listening to Jamie Now, you know, 431 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: in a way it was more mature, more like more wise, 432 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: I guess, not mature, but more wise because she had 433 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 2: been on the other side of the shit, you know, 434 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 2: And I actually like listening to people who have been 435 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: on both sides of something because I think to a 436 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 2: certain extent, there's a lesson that you can't learn until 437 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: you had it done to you, right, and you know, like, 438 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: until you've been lied on, it's hard to understand why 439 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: we can't treat every single claim about somebody it's true 440 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 2: without any research, any evidence, like, but once it happens 441 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: to you, you're like, oh, yeah, I see how you 442 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 2: would want to have some level of like, let me 443 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 2: look into this thing before I just start spouting off. 444 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 4: Right. 445 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: When until you've been silenced by somebody, you can't really 446 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: you don't really understand what it's like.

Yeah, they also said, like the 507 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: speculation that he was on Instagram and like he showed 508 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: like he opened a box or some gift or something, 509 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: and people saw his address that he was staying at 510 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: on there and that's how they found him. Like there's 511 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: a bunch of speculation, that's not a lot of confirmed 512 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: stuff right now, but it brought me. Uh, the reason 513 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 2: I brought it up is because I think one a 514 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: lot of these kids have dying in this rap game 515 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 2: right now. Like you know, whether it's Triple X Temptation, 516 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: whether it's uh, I can't juice World, who died in 517 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: the airport after od in on drugs? Uh shit, macmillany. 518 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 2: Even like, there's a lot of these these these cats 519 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: going out right now, either you know, violently and whatnot. 520 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: And I think our generation, being a bit older than 521 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: these kids now, has a tendency to really dismissed this 522 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 2: ship as like who and all these jokes that you know, 523 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 2: all the jokes that you know, but there's a lot 524 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: of like pop smunk, I never heard them.

But I really think it's one 529 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: of the things that is interesting. And this is why 530 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: I felt this way when Triple X Temptation died. I 531 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: wasn't really trying to like just ship on him and 532 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: ship on the people that were his fans and stuff, 533 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: because they appeared to be kids, right And when we 534 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: were kids, we definitely had our problematic heroes.

Some people mad about this, 755 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 2: by the way, not because she reversed, but because she 756 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 2: admonished some of the other candidates in the race and 757 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 2: made it so that they felt the pressure to not 758 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 2: take the super Pac money.

She campaign against money's influence of politics, 782 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 2: said the day after her debate she would now disavow 783 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 2: She would not disavowed super pack supporting her Senator Elizabeth 784 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: Warner is a long time credit is a big money 785 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 2: organization on the super PACs and as as and of 786 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 2: candidates who are supported by them. But she reversed course 787 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 2: on Thursday and refused to disavow superpack called persist Pack, 788 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 2: created to support her presidential campaign. It was a change 789 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: so sudden that Warren's own campaign website still said the 790 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 2: Massachusetts senator rejects ouf super PACs and would disavow any 791 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,280 Speaker 2: super pac form to support her in the Democratic primary. 792 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 2: She had criticized other candidates for them as late as 793 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 2: last week. On the debate stage in New Hampshire, Warren 794 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 2: told reporters she had called dozens of times for other 795 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 2: candidates to agree not to accept the support of super PACs, 796 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 2: with no success. So here's where I staid. If all 797 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 2: the candidates want to get rid of super PACs, count 798 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 2: me in. I'll lead the charge, she told reporters at 799 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 2: a campaign stop Thursday. But that's how it has to 800 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 2: But that's how it has to be. It can't be 801 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 2: the case that a bunch of people keep them and 802 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 2: only one or two don't. Right. She connected the issue 803 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 2: directly the gender, noted that the Democratic field was stock 804 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 2: with male candidates who were either billionaires or backed by 805 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 2: big money organizations. We reached the point a few weeks 806 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,720 Speaker 2: ago where all the men who were on the debate 807 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: stage all had either super packs or they were multi 808 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 2: billionaires who could rummish around in their sock drawers and 809 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 2: find enough money to be able to fund a campaign. 810 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 3: And the only people who didn't have them were the 811 00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 3: two women. 812 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 2: She said. At that point, there were some women around 813 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 2: the country who said that's just not right. Bernie Sanders 814 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 2: has a big money group, Our Revolution, that functions similarly 815 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 2: to a pack and is able to raise unlimited sums 816 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 2: of money on his behalf. As a nonprofit, it does 817 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 2: not have to disclose its donors, unlike super Packs. He's 818 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 2: also supported by the country's largest nurses union, National Nurses United, 819 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 2: who super pac spent five million dollars back in him 820 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen.

It's like these very apologetic whimpering 871 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 2: I'm sorry for my privileged candidates. And that may sound 872 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 2: good on social media with a small percentage of people 873 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 2: on social media, but when it comes to actual fucking vote, 874 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 2: people vote for people that get fired up about you know, 875 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 2: and you and you being like, I'm sorry, ain't fired that. 876 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: She ain't gonna fire nobody up. So to see her 877 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,359 Speaker 2: make that flip like that's until the last like a 878 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 2: few days, that's the first I really now, I'm like, yo, 879 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 2: I'm really excited about this candidate. 880 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 3: Where was this the whole time? 881 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 2: Right? Should have been should have been you know, should 882 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 2: have been lighting all these motherfuckers up in every debate 883 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: because I didn't know you had this in you, and 884 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 2: it's good to see you do and the good to 885 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 2: see you kind of identify with some of the things 886 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 2: I feel about it. Correct, So that was one. They 887 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 2: also believe Bernie one Nevada or with fifty reporting he's 888 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 2: way in the league and I think that's actually kind 889 00:43:54,680 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 2: of an inspiring story on a couple On a couple fronts, 890 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 2: they did vote before Elizabeth Warren. Half of them did 891 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 2: early vote, so they saw before Elizaeth Warren's debate performance. Now, 892 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 2: maybe that would change some minds. I don't know, but 893 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 2: if people felt about it the way I did, I 894 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 2: feel like it would change some people's minds. But one 895 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 2: of the things I thought was inspiring was that he 896 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 2: actually got the. 897 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,439 Speaker 3: Culinary Union most of the votes from there. 898 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 2: Now the reason that's important there's a podcast called The 899 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 2: Daily Okay, I want to say their Thursday episode of 900 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 2: last week, which would have been like the twentieth or 901 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 2: the twenty it's either the twentieth or twenty. First of 902 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 2: February was the episode, and they went down to to 903 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 2: talk about the to talk to the Culinary Union like 904 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 2: heads and the members of it about voting in the 905 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 2: primary and who they were going to vote for in 906 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 2: the Democratic primary, and it sounded like this The story 907 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: was so so amazing because what happened was the Culinary 908 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 2: Union has like the best health care in America, like 909 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 2: no co pays, best insurance ever, right, but the way 910 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 2: they had to get it there was. They used to 911 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 2: have good insurance and then this uh, this uh person 912 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: bought the plantation or whatever that they worked on the 913 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 2: plant and was like. 914 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm not paying for y'all's insurance no. 915 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 4: More because it's more. Yeah, the company has to pay more. 916 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 4: The Yeah, the better the insurance, the more the company pays. 917 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,399 Speaker 2: So they went on strike. The culinary union striked for 918 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 2: six years. 919 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, they went about them games. 920 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 2: They were like people, people died, people had kids, like people. 921 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 2: You know, all this stuff happened.

So maybe I'm completely 993 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 2: in the dark hair, But it felt like she was 994 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 2: pro Bernie, and I believe she is a woman of color, 995 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 2: and so it sounded like in her zeal to be 996 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 2: like the story here is, y'all are intimidating your own 997 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 2: union into not supporting Bernie. Her she kind of was 998 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 2: disregarding the fact that this woman was like, and we 999 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 2: got harassed for not endorsing anybody, like, you know, like 1000 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 2: this isn't right either, like, you know, and maybe she 1001 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 2: could have maybe it was crocodile too, because you know, 1002 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 2: they love to do the like you know, whenever someone's hurting, 1003 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 2: crying and shit, the next move has to be they 1004 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 2: don't really have real feelings. It's all fake to get 1005 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,240 Speaker 2: us to not pay attention to dismiss right, because of course, 1006 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 2: if you're you know, if they're standing in a way 1007 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 2: of something, they don't have feelings, right, And so she, 1008 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 2: you know, she kind of does go like, I don't 1009 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 2: know if it was real feelings or not. I don't 1010 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 2: know if she just wanted to shut down an interview 1011 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 2: or if she really just got so overwhelmed with this 1012 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 2: idea these people are kind of harassing them or whatever. 1013 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 2: And she was because she was like, you know, it's 1014 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 2: women of color, you know, we're getting harassed, blah blah blah. 1015 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 2: And the woman interview and was like, well, what about 1016 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 2: women of color that support Bernie in what is that? 1017 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 2: And it's like that's one of the problems I have 1018 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 2: with the Bernie people, is that no one said you 1019 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 2: don't exist, right, No one even said your opinion was abalid. 1020 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 2: What we're saying is you don't People aren't lining up 1021 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 2: to go find you and harass you over this. People 1022 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 2: may even strongly disagree with you, But that's different than 1023 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 2: let me get your private phone number and text you threats. 1024 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 2: Like it's different, an and and it's like, I like, 1025 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 2: that does need to be appreciated. So she's you know, 1026 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 2: and so the woman basically stopped the interview. Anyway, I 1027 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,359 Speaker 2: listened to that. It was a great episode. And then uh, 1028 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 2: I saw yesterday that the vast majority of that union, 1029 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 2: or supposedly the majority of that union, voted for Bernie Sanders. 1030 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 2: And I actually think that's inspiring because essentially what you're 1031 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 2: saying is people that have better health care than even 1032 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 2: Medicare for All were like, i'm'a put that to the 1033 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 2: side and not think particularly just about myself, but think 1034 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 2: about other people in society, whether it's friends, whether it's whatever, 1035 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 2: like just I, people that don't have health insurance at all, 1036 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 2: people that got, you know, these these huge premiums and deductibles, 1037 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 2: people that are being bankrupted by this system. No, I 1038 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 2: I sure, I'm giving up what is working for me 1039 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 2: in a way that makes life much better for me, 1040 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 2: and that, to me is the true essence of what 1041 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 2: you would hope for from democracy. And if somebody like 1042 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders can inspire you to make that choice, I 1043 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 2: think that's admirable. You know. So I was actually that 1044 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 2: was the story I was following that. I was kind 1045 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 2: of like intrigued to see what the outcome was gonna be. 1046 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 2: And it looks like he did win those votes, and like, dog, 1047 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 2: that's a hell of a fucking accomplishment. 1048 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, because that right there will be really hard for 1049 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:29,760 Speaker 5: people to make that choice. 1050 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 4: Whatever the fucking work for you? For your people are 1051 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 4: harassing me? Why? 1052 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 2: Right? So in the chat says it doesn't say threats work, Well, 1053 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 2: I mean they didn't. They were threatening the top of 1054 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,720 Speaker 2: the union. If you know how unions work, there's more 1055 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 2: people in the union than the people at the top. 1056 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 2: So unless they were threatening every single person in the 1057 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 2: fucking union, that's kind of a point. The other thing, too, 1058 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 2: is I mean, go listen to the episode, you can 1059 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 2: hear it for yourself. It sounded like the union was 1060 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 2: trying to silence people that did just want to vote 1061 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 2: for Bernie that were part of the union, and I 1062 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 2: know union gets off onion unity. You know, that's supposed 1063 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 2: to be a thing you're noted front, but there was 1064 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 2: just kind of like, you shut the fuck up if 1065 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 2: you're gonna bring up Bernie. And when they call that 1066 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 2: dude back, he sounds scared of shit. So what's the 1067 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 2: threat them or the people that threaten them from the 1068 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,439 Speaker 2: Bernie camp? Like it sounds to me like nobody should 1069 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 2: be threatening anybody, correct, you know, whether it's people threatening 1070 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,240 Speaker 2: your job, which would have a lot more fucking leverage, 1071 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 2: I think, but you know, just in general, to me, 1072 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 2: it was kind of an inspiring story about the complicated 1073 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 2: ass mess that is this fucking primary, and that is, 1074 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 2: you know, essentially people are voting. People aren't like there's 1075 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,280 Speaker 2: a reason that he's getting the majority of these votes, 1076 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 2: you know, and I think people have to come to 1077 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 2: fucking really like I guess people are gonna do that 1078 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 2: kicking and streaming thing. It's just basically gonna be the 1079 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 2: opposite of twenty sixth. It's gonna be every body that 1080 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 2: was like I'm for Hillary Clinton, Fuck Bernie, and then 1081 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,360 Speaker 2: all the people that's like, fuck Hillary, I'm for Bernie, 1082 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 2: and then they spent the whole rest of the fucking 1083 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 2: primary being like, and I'm never coming around fucking fuck 1084 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 2: her Fell, but I'd rather not vote and all that shit. 1085 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 2: We're just gonna see people basically flip because that's just 1086 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 2: how people are. Like. It's not a it's not necessarily 1087 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 2: a it wasn't a principal stance at twenty sixteen. It 1088 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,799 Speaker 2: was I feel like my person's winning. But that to me, 1089 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 2: I meant what I said I said a million times 1090 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 2: before we get there. But yeah, whoever wins the primary, 1091 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 2: got my vote already done. Voted for Elizab Warrence. So 1092 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,800 Speaker 2: this ain't even a like, hey, guys, go out and 1093 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 2: vote for Bernie endorsing. This is just me being like 1094 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 2: that that story is fucking inspiring because I I don't 1095 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: believe people. 1096 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,879 Speaker 3: Do things like that, like I don't. 1097 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 2: If you've seen humanity, people typically feel like if I 1098 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 2: have the leverage in that leg up, I don't give right. 1099 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 2: So the same to see a group of people that 1100 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 2: literally are going to be hurt essentially, it pu uh 1101 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 2: individually and specifically they will be hurt themselves. That one 1102 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,240 Speaker 2: person putting that vote out there to see those people 1103 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 2: be like, for the greater good, I would support this candidate. 1104 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 2: I think that means something, and I think, uh, you 1105 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 2: be a food to ignore that shit. And that's not 1106 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 2: just all from intimidation and all that stuff, even though 1107 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 2: its fans fucking suck. So anyway, that was an interesting story. Also, 1108 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,359 Speaker 2: Bloomberg lost ground. I said it yesterday on the Feedback show. 1109 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 2: But I told you, motherfucker was in that mofucker got in, 1110 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 2: had a debate stage of Guyata was not prepared. 1111 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 5: He was not prepared. I don't know what the fuck 1112 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 5: he thought was gonna happen in there. But you can't 1113 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 5: come in there, tell my money, make him dance, and 1114 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 5: it was gonna be all good Moneyga. 1115 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 2: My man got Piatta, and I'm glad for it, you know. 1116 00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 2: So that's a good news us. As they say, I 1117 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 2: I can't believe they changed the rules to get them 1118 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,879 Speaker 2: in there. I'm like, you, motherfuckers will be thanking them 1119 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 2: for changing the rules. You're gonna thank them for this 1120 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 2: shit because he's exactly who you want to be in 1121 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,760 Speaker 2: the room. Imagine if you because the people that always 1122 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 2: do this out of Bernie fans, there's such paranoid, fucking 1123 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 2: ridiculous you know, victims while also being the bullies at 1124 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 2: the same time. All that shit, right, But they were 1125 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 2: all like they changing the ruins they gonna get in 1126 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 2: the room. Why are you letting a billionaire on the stage? 1127 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 2: Just what's real with the DNC? And I was thinking, like, so, 1128 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 2: your worst nightmare is the man who you claim has 1129 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 2: ranted and raved against the billionaires and millionaires and shit 1130 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 2: all his fucking career. Your worst nightmare is him being 1131 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 2: on stage with one where he can roast them infinitely, Like, 1132 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 2: wouldn't that be what the fuck you would want? And uh, 1133 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 2: I guess maybe the fear was confirmed in a different way, 1134 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 2: which is that Elizabeth Warren is the one who had 1135 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,439 Speaker 2: to smoke in the bars. Yeah. 1136 00:56:58,480 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 4: She was like, bitch, I ain't got nothing to low. 1137 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, So maybe that's how it was a better Like 1138 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 2: maybe they maybe they felt Bernie had a poor showing 1139 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 2: compared to her, But I was like, that's what. 1140 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 3: I would want, you know what I mean. 1141 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 2: He's like, yes, put this person on stage.

We know this. That's why if 1478 01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,920 Speaker 2: you talk about politics, all of a sudden you go 1479 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,760 Speaker 2: look on the front page Facebook, everybody's talking about politics. No, 1480 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 2: Facebook is using an algorithm to select from your friends 1481 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,280 Speaker 2: and say, these are the one articles they're sharing that 1482 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,640 Speaker 2: are about the topics that you will click on, And 1483 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 2: I can imagine anything obscure. Facebook can do that too, 1484 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 2: So Yeah. With a little help from the Judas had 1485 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:06,439 Speaker 2: become part of the internet's most extreme pregnancy communities. Any 1486 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,439 Speaker 2: lingering fears were wiped away the moment. Judas birth started 1487 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,280 Speaker 2: a month late, but on its own. Juduth was elated 1488 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,200 Speaker 2: she would get to have her baby at home after all. 1489 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 2: She told her Facebook groups the good news that she 1490 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,759 Speaker 2: had lost her mucus plug and that contractions had started. 1491 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,519 Speaker 2: She also asked a question, do babies get more still 1492 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 2: trying to drop down? Trying. I'm getting a couple of kicks, 1493 01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,960 Speaker 2: but nowhere near usual movement. Wow. 1494 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,800 Speaker 3: She was still on Facebook while this is happening. 1495 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,160 Speaker 2: Wow. While the group members failed, her posts were reassuring 1496 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,719 Speaker 2: comments telling her to trust herself, her body, and her intuition. 1497 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 2: Judah put down her phone to do the work of birth. 1498 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 2: She walked and danced for hours through contractions, and floated 1499 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,479 Speaker 2: into a pool that her husband filled with water. She 1500 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 2: listened to music and It's a friend who was a 1501 01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 2: duo massaged her back. She took minute long naps between contractions. 1502 01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 2: I'm doing this. She thought her body was working just 1503 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 2: as it should, as the stories she'd obsessively read promised 1504 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,880 Speaker 2: that it would until it wasn't. As a pain increase 1505 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,519 Speaker 2: in the breaks, ten contractions shortened, Judith tried to keep 1506 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:05,719 Speaker 2: the vision of her intended birthday mob or ten hours 1507 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 2: in the labor things again to spend out of control. 1508 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:07,880 Speaker 4: OOO. 1509 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 3: She was vomiting and scared. 1510 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 2: The contractions were coming so hard and fast that she 1511 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 2: couldn't ride herself before the next wave with hit. She 1512 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,479 Speaker 2: tried to monitor the baby's heart rate, but she couldn't 1513 01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 2: stay still or quiet long enough to register or read 1514 01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,559 Speaker 2: on the fetal stepthoscope she bought. Then her waters broke, 1515 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 2: and with them came a burst of dark brown mecho 1516 01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:30,640 Speaker 2: but maconium, which she recognized as stuard that could be 1517 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 2: dangerous to a baby if it hell, Judas knew she 1518 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,799 Speaker 2: needed help on all fours. Judish rode in the backseat 1519 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,160 Speaker 2: while her husband drove to a nearby hospital or the 1520 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 2: team of nurses and doctors attached to a monitor to 1521 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 2: her belly made quick preparations to deliver her baby. But 1522 01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:44,840 Speaker 2: as Judas rode, the wave of another contraction in the 1523 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 2: room quieted. The doctor stepped forward. There was no heartbeat. 1524 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 2: There's something different about the wall of a mother who 1525 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 2: lost the wail of a mother who lost her baby. 1526 01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,080 Speaker 2: Judah said, your whole responsibility, it's to protect your child, 1527 01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 2: and I didn't before he even had a chance to breathe. 1528 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 2: Judah has wavy, chocolate colored hair, matching almond eyes, and 1529 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,920 Speaker 2: a mouth that natural cysts and an upturn, playful smile 1530 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 2: as she sits in the living room so for nine 1531 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,640 Speaker 2: months after her loss, her freshly bitten fingernails offer a 1532 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 2: clue to the anxiety that often overwhelms her. Judas asked 1533 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,280 Speaker 2: that NBC News not use her full name fear in 1534 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,560 Speaker 2: the backlash from the trolls, paid per click bloggers and 1535 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,960 Speaker 2: well meaning health advocates who congregate in online spaces to 1536 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 2: debate birth choices.

His traumatic experiences, Harriet medical teams rushing, poking, 1683 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 2: strapping women down to beds and pumping them full of 1684 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,880 Speaker 2: drugs that confuse the mind, strangle the hormones responsible for love, 1685 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 2: and push them into procedures that they didn't feel they needed. 1686 01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 2: Terms like industrial of statric training and rape culture are 1687 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 2: often used. While the ideas espoused by free births may 1688 01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:10,160 Speaker 2: be radical, the ideology is rooted in legitimate concerns. A 1689 01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,360 Speaker 2: woman in America is fifty percent more likely to die 1690 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,280 Speaker 2: from pregnancy or childbirth than her mother was. 1691 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 3: While many of these deaths are. 1692 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 2: Preventable and have more to do with access than in 1693 01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 2: proper medical care, the statistic itself can lead women to 1694 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 2: doubt medical institutions. Meanwhile, one thirty US women give birth 1695 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,000 Speaker 2: by c section, the experts have called alarming for a 1696 01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,639 Speaker 2: procedure that can save lives but also comes with increased 1697 01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,240 Speaker 2: health risk to mothers and babies, and one in six 1698 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 2: women reported mistreatment, verbal abuse, threats ignored, please for help, 1699 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 2: violations of physical privacy, and physical abuse by health care 1700 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,240 Speaker 2: providers during pregnancy and childbirth. According to a survey published 1701 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,680 Speaker 2: last year in the Journal of Reproductive Health, women who 1702 01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 2: gave birth to hospitals were more than five times more 1703 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 2: likely to report mistreatment than those who gave birth at home. 1704 01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,679 Speaker 2: A different survey conducted by the Washington advocacy group National 1705 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 2: Partnership for Women and Family found that in two thousand 1706 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 2: and two, forty five percent of mother's survey agreed that 1707 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,280 Speaker 2: given birth is a natural process that should not be 1708 01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:11,200 Speaker 2: interfered with less absolutely medically necessary. By twenty eighteen, seventy 1709 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 2: four percent of new mothers said they agreed. So you 1710 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 2: went from forty five percent of women in two thousand 1711 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,559 Speaker 2: and two to seventy four percent in twenty eighteen. 1712 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 4: What happened during that period of time. I don't know Internet, 1713 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,439 Speaker 4: you know, oh damn likely. You have to think the 1714 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,280 Speaker 4: Internet was different than two thousand and two. 1715 01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,400 Speaker 2: You're right, You're absolutely right, Like you have to think. 1716 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,560 Speaker 5: These groups have always been out there, but now, like 1717 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,600 Speaker 5: everything else, you have a collection. We have groups, we 1718 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 5: have chats, we have message boards, we have websites. 1719 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 4: Like over the years, these people with these far out 1720 01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,639 Speaker 4: their thoughts actually have they have a voice now. 1721 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:53,519 Speaker 5: And so if you're already skeptical, you already, like she said, 1722 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:54,799 Speaker 5: already had these bad expenses. 1723 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,120 Speaker 4: Easy to be drawn in there and then it can eat. 1724 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,800 Speaker 4: You can easily be kind of. 1725 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 5: Become a part of this collective and not really realizing 1726 01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 5: to an extent, if you don't fifter things out on 1727 01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,760 Speaker 5: your own and actually have your own thought process, it 1728 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,720 Speaker 5: is easily anybody can get wrapped. 1729 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 4: Up in shit like this. 1730 01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 5: I tell people nobody is above this because a lot 1731 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 5: of times people go cult like, cult like. 1732 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 4: It's a lot of shit that is quote unquote coote 1733 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 4: like that. We don't consider cults, but they have a 1734 01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:24,920 Speaker 4: cult like mentality. 1735 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, this happened to you. I remember with Farmville. Yes, 1736 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,840 Speaker 2: I'm just joking you guys. Mothers who home birth think 1737 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,840 Speaker 2: it's safer than the hospital, said doctor Eugene the Clerk, 1738 01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 2: a professor of Community Health Services Sciences at Boston University 1739 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,639 Speaker 2: of Public Health. While the question of safety and risk 1740 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,439 Speaker 2: from playing home burst versus hospital versus the subject of 1741 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 2: intense professional online debate, the evidence. 1742 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 3: Support both sides. To support both sides is limited. 1743 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 2: According to the American College of Obstetricians and got A Cologists, 1744 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 2: home births attended by midwives are rare, accounting for less 1745 01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,600 Speaker 2: than one percent of our births, and free birth is 1746 01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,719 Speaker 2: too rare of phenomenon to study. Women want the freedom 1747 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,000 Speaker 2: to make choices without being pressured in the interventions that 1748 01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,680 Speaker 2: may not want, they may not want, or practices they 1749 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,559 Speaker 2: don't feel are appropriate. Obviously, home birth folks have more control. 1750 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 2: The providers are coming into their home. The ultimate expression 1751 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:16,800 Speaker 2: of what would be no one's coming into my home, 1752 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:22,080 Speaker 2: of that would be okay. She approached her forty fifth 1753 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,720 Speaker 2: week due date a forty week do date, she turned 1754 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,880 Speaker 2: the Free Birth Society Courses episode on long Pregnancies for 1755 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,960 Speaker 2: strength and the video, Norris Clark warns against induction, calling 1756 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:34,639 Speaker 2: any procedure to bring on labor and eviction from the womb. 1757 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,000 Speaker 2: Norris Clark says she went far past the standard forty 1758 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,559 Speaker 2: week gestation for all of her births, one of them 1759 01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,719 Speaker 2: almost forty three weeks. And while she addresses the concern 1760 01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 2: of stillbirth, calling it the elephant in the room, Norris 1761 01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,439 Speaker 2: Clark quickly moves on and says the idea that babies 1762 01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 2: must be born before forty two weeks is nonsense. 1763 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:53,360 Speaker 3: Babies come out. 1764 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 2: Babies always come out, she says, except sometimes they don't. 1765 01:27:57,920 --> 01:27:59,680 Speaker 2: The other thing I throw here. I was listening to 1766 01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:03,080 Speaker 2: a podcast the other day and they were talking about 1767 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 2: like some criminal like prison reform all this type of stuff. 1768 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 2: And then you know, and and like I agree, like 1769 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 2: you got a prison criminal, prison abolition is what they're 1770 01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,960 Speaker 2: talking about. And I agree with so much of the 1771 01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:20,600 Speaker 2: points they were saying. But then you get to the 1772 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,200 Speaker 2: end and they're like, okay, so what are we what 1773 01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,040 Speaker 2: are their answers to the you know, the things that 1774 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,479 Speaker 2: we're gonna make in this new world with our prisons 1775 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 2: so that we have accountability and all that stuff. And 1776 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 2: then it turns in the word salad, because essentially, we 1777 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,799 Speaker 2: have to ignore a certain percentage of what is already 1778 01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:43,479 Speaker 2: happening so that we can condition you to think about 1779 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 2: just the things we want you to think about. And 1780 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 2: that's how this shit feels, where it's like, okay, but 1781 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,479 Speaker 2: what about stillbirth?

Brandy the DROWNSI is the 2152 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:52,639 Speaker 2: person who wrote this article. It's for NBC News, but yeah, 2153 01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:55,280 Speaker 2: like I read this and it just made me think 2154 01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:59,559 Speaker 2: about so much stuff about just how today, with all 2155 01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 2: of this pressure online to like conform and all this, like, 2156 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,519 Speaker 2: you can go out and have people that basically read 2157 01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,280 Speaker 2: they just recycle your opinion back to you over and 2158 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,240 Speaker 2: over and over and over again, and you start to 2159 01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:16,439 Speaker 2: feel like that's the world, and you start to feel 2160 01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:19,360 Speaker 2: like what I'm doing is good and healthy and normal, 2161 01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:22,200 Speaker 2: and I don't need no no matter how extreme it gets, 2162 01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:23,920 Speaker 2: no matter what I'm in the right. 2163 01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:25,680 Speaker 3: All the people I know say I'm in the right. 2164 01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:27,840 Speaker 2: That's the end of it. And it made me think 2165 01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:32,840 Speaker 2: about the closing polls. You know, they do those exit polls. 2166 01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,560 Speaker 2: So at the Nevada's primary, they did exit polls and 2167 01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:40,960 Speaker 2: they asked what percentage of the people you know that voted. 2168 01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 3: Like how what percentage of you are on social media? 2169 01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:50,160 Speaker 2: On Twitter? Eleven? But when you're on Twitter, that's why 2170 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:53,040 Speaker 2: Twitter can feel like its own world with its own rules, 2171 01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:58,160 Speaker 2: where everyone is one way, and where people who express 2172 01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:02,920 Speaker 2: opinions that are more or quote unquote mainstream are normally 2173 01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:06,080 Speaker 2: the ones that are considered the outcast and the bad guys, 2174 01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:09,840 Speaker 2: unless all power on them. They've just created their own 2175 01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:13,960 Speaker 2: illusion of reality as they have that they would like, 2176 01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,200 Speaker 2: that's their utopia, that's what they would like to be, 2177 01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 2: but that ain't the world. And you know, this is 2178 01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:22,200 Speaker 2: the extreme case of somebody kind of the world running 2179 01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:24,120 Speaker 2: into a person and crushing their dreams. 2180 01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:26,840 Speaker 5: You know. Yeah, And my heart goes out a lot 2181 01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:31,839 Speaker 5: because it's almost like a perfect storm of things that happened. 2182 01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:35,240 Speaker 5: And being a mother and I don't know if this 2183 01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:37,200 Speaker 5: was a first child, my assumption that this was the 2184 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:41,800 Speaker 5: first child, like child, Yeah, just the pressure of being 2185 01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:45,519 Speaker 5: a perfect mom and having a perfect pregnancy and just 2186 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:46,720 Speaker 5: doing everything. 2187 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:51,040 Speaker 4: Right and just being just everything to everybody. You're dealing 2188 01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:54,640 Speaker 4: with that pressure alone by self. Then to deal with 2189 01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:58,799 Speaker 4: the pressure of you know, do I give. 2190 01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:01,080 Speaker 2: Breastfeed? 2191 01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:03,720 Speaker 4: Do I you know, you just have anxiety. 2192 01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:07,520 Speaker 5: You're dealing with all these things, you know, and everybody's 2193 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:11,040 Speaker 5: pregnancy is different, and that's very hard for women to understand. Yes, 2194 01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:14,480 Speaker 5: people can talk about their own personal experiences, but everybody's 2195 01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:19,320 Speaker 5: pregnancy is completely different. You have a very unique body, 2196 01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:22,679 Speaker 5: so your situation and circumstances might not be the same. 2197 01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:25,920 Speaker 5: That's why these groups are very dangerous because they're actually 2198 01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:29,599 Speaker 5: talking about one specific woman. Her experience and your experience 2199 01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:32,439 Speaker 5: could be completely different. There are some women they didn't 2200 01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:34,479 Speaker 5: have any labor plains. There are some women that had 2201 01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:36,400 Speaker 5: to use EPI dual. There are some women they went 2202 01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:37,600 Speaker 5: through c sections. You know. 2203 01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,479 Speaker 4: There are some women they have early births. Some women 2204 01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,160 Speaker 4: have births later, but they're being monitored like like it's 2205 01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:44,840 Speaker 4: not the same. 2206 01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 5: And you know, my heart goes out because I can't 2207 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:52,320 Speaker 5: even imagine you just wanting to be everything to everybody 2208 01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:55,920 Speaker 5: and having these outside forces of these people that actually. 2209 01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:57,439 Speaker 4: Aren't directly. 2210 01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:00,760 Speaker 5: You don't really have relationships with, but you think you 2211 01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,320 Speaker 5: have a relationship in bonds with based off of the internet. 2212 01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:03,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2213 01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:06,400 Speaker 2: And I also want to emphasize before people write in 2214 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,200 Speaker 2: because I know how fucking people are with their agendas. 2215 01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:12,400 Speaker 2: They hear shit, it don't fit into the perfect scenario 2216 01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,639 Speaker 2: that they wanted to fit into, so they think we're 2217 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:18,840 Speaker 2: being like anti everything they're about. No, we know that 2218 01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:24,280 Speaker 2: black women suffer higher rates of mortality when it comes 2219 01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:28,479 Speaker 2: to giving birth. American women in general, even before you 2220 01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:32,920 Speaker 2: get to this race, suffer higher rates of mortality and 2221 01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,800 Speaker 2: birth giving. Those stats that started the article are real though, 2222 01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:41,320 Speaker 2: so it's not like the distrust doesn't come from nowhere. 2223 01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:45,120 Speaker 2: I always say this about the hotel people. I kind 2224 01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:48,200 Speaker 2: of feel bad for them. It doesn't mean that I, 2225 01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:50,160 Speaker 2: you know, would fuck with them on any level, but 2226 01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:54,160 Speaker 2: I kind of feel bad for them because essentially, the 2227 01:49:55,000 --> 01:50:00,720 Speaker 2: American oppression of black people has given up us a 2228 01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:03,880 Speaker 2: space in our brains to take root in these conspiracy theories, 2229 01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:07,760 Speaker 2: because we've had conspiracies done to us, right, and it's 2230 01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:10,040 Speaker 2: been and it's come out years later and it's like, oh, 2231 01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:13,479 Speaker 2: that was true. So the c the CIA did put 2232 01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:18,400 Speaker 2: crack into our community. They put cocaine into our communities 2233 01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:23,640 Speaker 2: to fund arms trades and shit like that. The Tuxisia, 2234 01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:29,200 Speaker 2: the Tuskegee experiments, it's real, you know, letting people live 2235 01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,800 Speaker 2: secretly without telling them, but letting them live with syphilis 2236 01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:35,840 Speaker 2: that could have been cured for decades until some of 2237 01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:40,200 Speaker 2: these people died. So these things take hold in our 2238 01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:43,360 Speaker 2: in our psyche, and then we end up being these 2239 01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,120 Speaker 2: people that are like And that's why Kobe was killed 2240 01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:49,800 Speaker 2: by you know, the That's why he was killed by 2241 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:53,160 Speaker 2: the Big nig or whatever the fuck, right, And that's 2242 01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:57,719 Speaker 2: the thing with with this these women found this place 2243 01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:01,840 Speaker 2: online because reality is scary enough. So then they went 2244 01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:05,200 Speaker 2: and and and and. The thing for the Internet is 2245 01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:09,040 Speaker 2: the phrase within reason doesn't really exist on the Internet. 2246 01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:12,800 Speaker 2: It exists in real life, right in real life, dealing 2247 01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:16,360 Speaker 2: with actual human beings and scenarios. Very few times it's 2248 01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,599 Speaker 2: something that's black and whitest, and in that moment everything 2249 01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:21,760 Speaker 2: became this person became this type of they were great, 2250 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,080 Speaker 2: all a hero, all the villain, right, No, most of 2251 01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:25,439 Speaker 2: the time we're like, no. 2252 01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:25,760 Speaker 4: This. 2253 01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:29,439 Speaker 2: It reminds me of the the black man who uh 2254 01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:34,679 Speaker 2: tried he stopped the shooter in waffle house Jane something, 2255 01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:37,040 Speaker 2: and everybody was like, he's a hero.
