1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Beverly 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Hills Z eight O two one oh. Courtesy of Johnny Davis. 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm Jack O'Brien. That smiles Gray. This is what's trending 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: right now. Hashtag Biden landslide. That is not a natural 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: disaster as far as I know. I mean, it's uh, 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: you know, there's polling coming out that he's you know, 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: has a huge double digit lead over Trump. And I 8 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: think a lot of people who are of the mindset 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: of how these races work are spiking the fucking football 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: on like the fucking twenty um. So, you know, I 11 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: get it. A lot of people who have pointed out 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: to or they're like, you know, ducocus shot a fucking 13 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: huge lead to eight and things like that, But that 14 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: was between conventions or whatever. This is prior to everything. 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: I think the bottom line is, don't don't look at 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: any of that. It's not relevant. The important thing is 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: every person has to get out there in this very 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: narrow context, because I'm not saying that electoralism is the 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: way to change things in this country, because that's already 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: proven to not work. So at the very least, everyone's 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to get on their ask to try and 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: at least delay the spread of fascism in this country 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: to vote for the stop gap Joe Biden. Yeah, it's 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: unbelievable that like people are just going through the exact 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: same process. Like I I remember, like in I just 26 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: clung two shows like you know, Keeping It six hundred, 27 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: which is what the name of the show was before 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: Pod Save America, because they just seemed like they knew 29 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: what they were talking about, and they were like, there's 30 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: no way he's gonna win. It's like no chance he's 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: like losing all these polls. Uh called you a bedwetther 32 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: if you were worried that he was gonna win. That 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: was like their nickname for people who are concerned that 34 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: Trouble's gonna win. And yeah, it just feels it's starting 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 1: to feel similar where people are just like, yeah, he's 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: totally fucked. Well. I think it depends on like that one. 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: Like for some most people were like, oh, hold on, 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: let me get out of this, like you know, democratic 39 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: echo chamber where the same people who are giving you 40 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the punditry are the same people who are part of 41 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: the machine, who are the same people who have been 42 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: thinking the same way for the last few decades on 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: how to consolidate and keep power. So some of those 44 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: takes ended up being like, oh, right, because this never 45 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: accounted for the fact that there are like actually a 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: large group of angry, poor, racist white people too, rather 47 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: than like, yeah, but we vote we had Obama for 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people like we had like 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people were taking this as like this 50 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: post racial thing, and yeah, certain group went, oh that's right, 51 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: we still have to fucking make sure racists go back 52 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: into their hidy holes. Yeah, amad are very is trending. 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: Uh because a Georgia grand Y indicted the three men 54 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: who murdered him in connection with his murder. Yeah, I 55 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: guess they were charged with murder. Yeah great, Yeah, justice 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: keep it going, fantastic. Let's keep it going. Now, get 57 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: justice for Elijah McClain and all the countless others that 58 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: we're going to have to keep remembering because there are still, 59 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, there are still these horrific cases of police 60 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: brutality or in this case, this was just you know, 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: racist lynch mob that just did their own thing. But 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: we're having these examples where black people are still considered 63 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: threats and their bodies are disposable, so you know that 64 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: that rest can't continue. Although it is disheartening to see 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: a lot of things go back to normal in a sense, 66 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: like in terms of like the discussions people are having. 67 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: But I think that's why it's important for people of 68 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: good conscience to remember that this is not like, this 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: is far from over. Yeah, can't be over. Yeah, I 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: I just know that there have been other cases of 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: I guess this isn't police brutality, but it seems like 72 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: it was similar in the sense that these guys were 73 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: in cahoots with the local you know, law enforcement people community, 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: and they got away with it for months, weren't even 75 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: like really investigated for months. I just worry that, you know, 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: it's I'm not I'm not gonna feel anything but bad 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: about that until they are like officially convicted. You know. 78 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: French Revolution is trending, and not for the reason you 79 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: might expect. Um, what's the reason? Way, what would we 80 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: expect that? People? There's like PDFs for how to make 81 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: your own guillet guillotine out of stuff you get it lows, 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: yeah exactly. People just being like, yeah, it's fully French revolution, 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: the fucking White House. Let's let's do, let's go. But no, 84 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham has put it out there as like an accusation. 85 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: He claimed that, um, the the Democratic Party in New 86 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: York and Kentucky, the strong showing of progressive proves that 87 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is basically the French Revolution now, and 88 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: people are confused as to like how what what he what? 89 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: What is his criticism saying it's being controlled by the 90 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: popular will, sir, do you underdo you know anything about history, 91 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: even the history of this country? Right? His tweet is 92 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: as follows from at Lindsay's quote. It appears the French 93 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: Revolution has now come to the Democratic Party based on 94 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: initial primary results from New York and Kentucky. If you 95 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: had any doubts about who's in charge of the Democratic Party, 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: all doubts should have been removed now, okay, Uh. A 97 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: lot of people just came in with their very clear takes, 98 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: like you know, at Dan Saltstein said, the French Revolution, 99 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: you say, in which rising social and economic inequality led 100 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: to a democratic overthrow of a monarchy and this establishment 101 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: of republic. That French Revolution and the other thing people 102 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: were forgetting is they got turned up off of the 103 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: American Revolution. Yeah, like they were in partnering. Yeah, they 104 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: were like, yo, this was hand in hand the French Enlightenment, 105 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: like it's all this was all part of a pattern. 106 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: But again, I don't know what this is. I guess 107 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: for for a certain subset of Americans who only know 108 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: like phrases from history, will just like reduce it to 109 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: some weird sentiment that's completely historically and accurate. So like 110 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: French Revolution means like poor people are gonna kill the 111 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: rich people, like and that's all it means, like if 112 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: you have more money than a poor person, you're gonna 113 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: get guillotine. Like I think that's the subtext that they 114 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: want to send out there. Um, so sure, I don't know. 115 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: And French bad, French equal bad for a lot of Republicans, 116 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: but um yeah, it's I mean if if if he says, so, 117 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: let's let's go. Um And also putting yourself on the 118 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: side of the monarchy, very like core American values. I 119 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: feel like they've kind of given up on like whatever 120 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be about, like their fetishization of the 121 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: Founding Fathers just you know, well that so long as 122 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: that stands for taxation and getting rich, all that grandstanding 123 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: about patriotism and you know what the values of this country. 124 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if if you haven't woken up to that 125 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: by now, you surely you must know that those were 126 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: just buzzwords to try and like obfuscate their racism, you know, 127 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: and using these sort of like um, you know, uh, 128 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: unencroachable like you would dare not attack the concept of 129 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: patriotism or what it means to be an American because 130 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: we're using that so you don't actually question the real 131 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: motivations behind what we do, which is oppression. But you know, 132 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: and I think those are all running, all those defenses 133 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: are like losing steam now, so a lot of people 134 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: are starting to be like, yeah, that's not really a thing. 135 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: But you know, everybody's everybody's waking up at their own pace. 136 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: It seems, I mean, I get what he's doing. He's 137 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, the the whole Trump strategy right now seems 138 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: to be vilifying the protests and you know, making the 139 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: uprising as scary as you possibly can and making it 140 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: seem like his supporters are in physical danger. Uh. And 141 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: we saw that with like the videos that Trump was 142 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: sharing of a black man attacking a white man in 143 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: a department store. Um, and yeah, it's just that this 144 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: is going to be their strategy. It's very similar to 145 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: their mid term strategy where they like created you know, 146 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: horror uh racism, horror propaganda about people like coming over 147 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: the borders. Um, and that's that's what I'm sure what 148 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: we're going to see for the next uh, you know, 149 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: five months. But the thing is like they're using like 150 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: dated language that doesn't even connect with the fucking group 151 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: they're talking to. Like Nope, they don't even know what 152 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: the French The fucking people, you know, dog whistling shit, 153 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: don't even know what the French Revolution means to a 154 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: group that's not as intelligent as them. You think that's 155 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna get them be like, hold on, honey, did you 156 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: hear this ship the French Revolution? The like they don't 157 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: know ship? Like I mean, honestly, they did be better 158 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: off doing fucking breaking bad metaphors. They're like, Gus Fring 159 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: is gonna come to shut your meth operation down, and 160 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: you know what, You're going to be chained in his 161 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: underground lab cooking him meth. That's what happens when the 162 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: Democrats come. I think more people have some kind of 163 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: like idea of what that is than things that you know, 164 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: but odd oddly enough, like they're missing out on history 165 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: that the educational system intentionally like did not do a 166 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: good job of informing people on. So now you can't 167 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: even did not cover that so much. Yeah, and then finally, uh, 168 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: some news is trending right now that California just had 169 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: its biggest one day increase in coronavirus cases to date. 170 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: So I mean this is just you know, this is 171 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: a result of something we've been seeing where we don't 172 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: have the data, we don't have the things moving in 173 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: in the direction that they that we need them to 174 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: move in, and we're yet California business leaders, political leaders 175 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: are conspiring to you know, put your life in danger 176 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, just get a sense of like, 177 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's basically consumption disguised as purpose. Is something 178 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: that I saw somebody tweet that I really liked, and 179 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: now I forget who it is. Um, but that that 180 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: idea that you know, consumption will bring our lives back 181 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: to normal, Well, I mean that's because again people are 182 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: really be caught up in this cult of consumption and capitalism, 183 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: where if your entire worldview is based on this pattern 184 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: of working to consume to then signal to other people 185 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: that you are what you are based on the things 186 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: you're able to purchase as a consumer. Then yeah, I 187 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: feel like the only thing they know is to be like, 188 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: well normal. Everything that's been defined to me as an 189 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: American is that buying shit is being alive. So what 190 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: do I do now? It's weird because I even see 191 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: lines like out the door for like clothing stores right now, 192 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: and like people are social distancing in line, and I'm like, 193 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: what I get if you need something for work? But 194 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it looked like a lot of people who just could 195 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: not get over their habit of consuming and like the 196 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: high of doing that they needed to recapture on some level. 197 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: And it was really strange, Like when you see these 198 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: lines at places that are not essential businesses, and I 199 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: get like, if you want to, you know, get your 200 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: hair cot whatever, but it's just another there's another level 201 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: when it's something is like hey man, I gotta I 202 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: gotta get in this clothing store right now, Like I 203 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: just got to, you know, because but you know, people 204 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: want to. I think people are also just very deeply 205 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: in denial that things could be this out of their 206 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: control and the stakes could also be that high. At 207 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: the same time, it's it's it's a difficult thing to 208 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: have to accept. I'm sure if you're if you've spent 209 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: a lot of time thinking you were fucking invincible and 210 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: on top all the time. Yeah, we need to I mean, 211 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: I think people have already been doing it, but we 212 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: need to normalize wearing masks and not let somebody get 213 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: away with not wearing a mask when't we see it 214 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: that's inexcusable at this point. Well, I've seen these it's 215 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: almost always, uh, some white guy between the age of 216 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: twenty and sixty walking around without a mask on, and 217 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: I just like want and like, what do they think 218 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: it makes them different from the other people who have 219 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: to wear masks? Do they just people walking around without 220 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: mess while while everybody around them is wearing masks? They 221 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: think that their immune systems better? Do they think it's 222 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: that we're all just it's just such a strange thing 223 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: to want to even project even if you weren't worried 224 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: about your own safety and the safety of the people 225 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: around you, what are you trying to say? Well, I 226 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: would argue that the people who are resisting mask wearing 227 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: are themselves feel the most powerless, probably when you bring 228 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: it down to like that molecular level, because they're in 229 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: such deep denial, like in the same way, because you're like, 230 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: what would you think because clearly and that person goes, 231 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get sick, or rejects the possibility 232 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: that they could get sick, or rejects the possibility that 233 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: other people are sick, because that's preserving this idea a. 234 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: I feel like, if you're so powerless, this might be 235 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: the one thing you can do to feel like you're 236 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: in control of your life. If everybody's wearing a mask, 237 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: then you've got to fuck that because I'm in control 238 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: and I'm out of control and every other way that 239 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: I haven't been able to articulate in my own mind, 240 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: but I realized this gives me an opportunity to push 241 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: back on something, and I can also at the same 242 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: time reaffirm my belief that nothing is wrong with anything 243 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: right now, because that's also I think the predominant thinking 244 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: is nothing is wrong. If you're a young person not 245 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: wearing a mask, it's because nothing is wrong. And also 246 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: nothing is wrong because it affects people who aren't me, 247 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: and so it's all versions of like you know, this 248 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: sort of pathology of not accepting that how like sort 249 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: of small we are as human beings on the planet, 250 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: and that like, yeah, there are some things that like 251 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: it it seems wild because you've never experienced anything like this. 252 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: That suddenly it gives people probably a moment to be like, 253 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: am I part of like an interconnected community where I 254 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: might have responsibility for my neighbor based on gonna that 255 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to think about that fuck a mask, 256 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: Fuck it, I'm going to Mervyn's. I mean I always 257 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: talk about how like you know, Harry Potter, The Matrix, 258 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: like all these all these movies are about the same thing, 259 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: which is uh changing, like basically allowing us to deny 260 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: the reality that we are one of you know, seven 261 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: billion people on a planet Like that I think is 262 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: the one like kind of underlying reality that all of 263 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: American culture is meant to disguise from us as like 264 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: kind of our insignificance. And so yeah, that that I 265 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: think that I think that probably has a lot to 266 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: do with them. Yeah, And unfortunately, there are people who 267 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: grew up in this country with parents who bought you know, 268 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: fucking hook line and sinker the fucking American exceptionalism.
