I'm I'm The Johnny the Kami with the five. Thank you, brother. I appreciate it. The minister. What is going on, brother?
Johnny, thank you for resubscribing. Flying ant. What's going on, brother? Minister with the one what up bro all right guys um welcome welcome to the
infrared webcast i've been very very busy um Welcome to the Infrared Webcast.
I've been very, very busy.
So that's the fact. I've been very, very busy. But there's a lot of very important developments underway, and I cannot wait to fully fully announce them and just
have it be announced to the entire public of what is in the works what's going on all i can say
is stay tuned very serious stuff is coming. Very, very serious. Long, long time coming, by the way. Long time coming. But we are fully committed all along the way anyway guys how ominous right well there are
some interesting things and developments going on on the news front and side of things.
I had some thoughts I wanted to share and talk to you about today in general.
Now, if you don't know, if you didn't see the announcement on the Discord, the Patreon Q&A, I did it off stream. The reason I did it, I think I'm going to do these offstream because when I do them on stream, the non-patrons tend to get bored and it's just not very good content. And it's easy for me to just record them off stream and plus i don't have to put my camera on so
that's that right now i don't want to make any quick announcements yet because we're still in the
discussion stage of this.
But, you know, me and some of the guys at the EB have been talking about maybe we might do a weekly pre-recorded podcast for the ACP YouTube channel.
That's something we're thinking about.
And, you know,
it would just be like us talking.
It'd be very conversational. Be very chill.
Very, very chill.
But like, you know, we would just talk directly about party stuff.
Not just party stuff, it would just talk about whatever's on our mind.
It'd be a podcast, it'd be pre-recorded.
We are going to try it out, see how it works.
It's going to be like Good Morning Revolution.
Yeah, exactly.
And we don't want it to be boring.
We want it to be con-requent.
It's not going to be too stiff and formal, you know.
And so don't, you know, that's not definitely not the idea.
The idea is to be something that is engaging and is insightful.
Because I can't tell you how many times, for example, me and Carlos talk about philosophy. And it's always so
interesting. And it's like, it's a damn shame. No one can hear our conversations ever because,
um, you know, so it's, I'm not saying it's only going to be stuff like that, but, you know, we at the E.B, we always are having interesting discussions and we're making observations about how we see things.
You know, we, we, Jimmy, what's up? It'll give you a good idea of where we stand
on the discourse
and how we feel
about new developments
and things.
I don't know.
I think it's going to be,
it'll give people a better idea
of what goes on in our head
when it comes to
new events and discourse
and stuff like that.
I think a lot of the party would appreciate it.
A lot of the people, especially the ones that can't catch my streams,
although I want to get better at the streaming.
It's just this week I've been very busy, very busy so that's why I've been so late recently
But hopefully that's going to change pretty soon can play around your family you know definitely not like the infrared
sorry anyway guys i um that's something i wanted to share with you guys about what's on our mind
where we're thinking about going forward but i also want to
talk about something else oh sows what's up?
First, some interesting news is going on, which I never like having to acknowledge, which is Trump tweeting or truth-socialing, whatever you call it, he's truiting, whatever you call it. He's truthing, whatever you call it on his
platform. About Putin, I tend not to take this stuff very seriously because I remember, and I always
told Jackson, remember how much Trump was tweeting about the DPRK and we thought there was about to be a war?
And then very suddenly, like very suddenly, one week later, he just meets Kim Jong-un. So I don't know what's going on with Putin.
Trump is ramping up his rhetoric against Putin, I guess.
And Putin just doesn't care.
Now, I'm bringing this up because we had discussed earlier, if you remember,
a scenario where
you know Trump gets elected and he realizes
he's not in the same world as when he took office in 2016
and he realizes like Putin is like the man in the room
doesn't give a fuck about
LISP doing what Trump says and then Trump freaks out, you know? So we, we did actually consider that possibility.
And I'm just, I'm bringing it to your attention because that could actually be something that is happening.
Like that prophecy we had, I guess, might actually play out and actually happen.
We don't know, though.
What I know for certain is that Putin and the Russians do not, are not holding their breath for Trump or for the USA. The SMO changed everything. And I knew it at the time, which is why I immediately gave my full and unconditional support for Putin and the SMO
when it happened
but it changed everything
it was a game changer basically it was like the biggest
fuck you to the entire world order
it started a world revolution
there would not be
Ibrahim Trierre. I'm saying his name right. And the Sahel revolutions
and so much more. None of this would have happened if it wasn't for the SMO.
The SMO, right?
The SMO was the first stage of a coming world revolution,
a revolution in geopolitics, revolution in the world system,
and it was a very profound event that Trump was not in office for.
So we have to see.
We have to wait and see what's going to happen. But who knows?
I don't like to comment. There's a lot of people that love the news cycle
and i don't like the new cycle i like the new cycle i like this i like the cycles that are like
written in ancient books that only happen like once every 10,000 years.
And, oh, it's an interesting side.
I like K-waves.
I like the contrariq waves.
I don't like...
Did you hear this?
You know, you go on X and sometimes I see breaking news.
War is coming in minutes.
Breaking news.
Oh my God.
It's like I wasn't born yesterday and I don't really give a fuck about.
If I wanted to be a grifter, like some of these, I don't know,
alt media crowd, I don't know what to call them. The Bricks News, Bitcoin scammers.
I guess I could make a lot of money.
Like, feeding people
this idea that the sky is always
falling, that there's always
some giant thing like happening
right now, that it's always a giant thing like happening right now
that it's always a big deal because
Trump farted or something
but the truth is that
you have to be a little you know a lot of
you know there you know
you know I'll you know what meme I hate
I can't stand
the nothing ever happens meme. It's got to be for the most
stupid, low attention span people. Of course things happen. They definitely happen. A lot has happened in the past five years a lot
has happened okay things do happen they just don't happen at the scale of time that a lot of people have
come to expect i guess a lot of people have come to expect, I guess.
A lot of people just decide that unless things happen every second, nothing happens.
Unless things are happening every hour and it's just always constantly an uninterrupted stream of excitement and exciting world changing news, that nothing happens.
Whereas if you have, I'm not even saying have a long-term view.
I am not some Chinese philosopher with a long beard who's 90 years old, telling you to wait generations for things to happen.
I'm just telling you, maybe adjust your expectations from literally every second to maybe like every
six months or every three months something of significance happens but yeah yes not every day is
nine eleven okay every day is 9-11 okay every day is not 9-11 and the it speaks to the and i'll i'll go
ahead and say a word that i guess i think people should go to jail for saying the TikTokification, I guess,
of the entire generation.
Nothing ever happens because it's not like
just scrolling through fucking TikTok
and
just seeing
seeing you know
immediate satisfaction for your attention span. I don't know.
Things are definitely accelerating, you know. It's definitely true things are happening more often.
That's also true. It's just people have like
it's like bitcoin where it's like oh is it worth
$500,000
no it's more like 80 or 70
or whatever it's at right now
it's still a lot more than where it was
when it you know Bitcoin first came out
it was like a penny now it's like
what 70 to 90 000 i think but some people think it should be like at a million already
and it's the same thing when it comes to people's expectations about how much things are accelerating. They're definitely
accelerating. I mean, much more than before. Things are definitely heating up globally. But people have gotten ahead of themselves, and just because it's not happening at the rate that they've hyped
themselves up and excited themselves into thinking it is, they just say nothing happens.
Nothing's happening at all, right?
So I don't like the nothing ever happens meme. I think it's a really stupid meme, frankly. I think it's really stupid.
But, uh, I tend not to pay attention to rhetoric. I don't like to be reached out to comment on rhetoric.
I think it's beneath me and my pay grade.
Not that getting paid more would make me more willing to,
but it's just kind of beneath beneath what i it's just too undignified for me to just
like constantly be plugged into the fucking truth social news cycle I like to observe
Trump
based on what
he actually does
not based on
what he says
on truth social
I don't really
give a shit about that
right
but no it's just something to keep in mind because it looks
like the negotiations are not going well in the case of or but but look if it's true that trump
is secretly serving r, which some people think,
you can only hope, you know, I see no evidence of it.
Maybe also he is pretending like he's like, oh, Putin, stop. Maybe he's just giving Putin more
of opportunity to just take over more territory while pretending like he's upset about it. And it's like,
you know, maybe that's what's going on so there's a lot you could speculate on honestly um but that that you know maybe maybe if if that's true it you know, there's a... There is a way at least to...
to explain a way why he would be rhetorically charged against Putin if he was pro-Russian in some way.
Maybe because... I'll tell you the truth is that if the ukraine war ended now i'll tell you the opinion of the russians that i know who i've spoken to it would have been
a waste if they just consolidate the territory they've
already conquered it's not enough absolutely not enough it's not over till odessa is taken it's not
over there are so many parts of the donbass that have not been Odessa is taken. It's not over.
There are so many parts of the Donbass that have not been liberated yet, right?
So,
I don't think Russia is interested
in ending it right now. I think they were interested
in ending it maybe within the first weeks that it happened and then clearly
the west was not and so they're just going to keep going they're just going to keep going until
they have taken at least all of the eastern part of ukraine and uh then then maybe they'll
so it's going to be on their time and on their terms they're not in a rush by no means are they in a
rush and it's over basically mean, it is totally over. The two years, three years of endless aid and arms supplies that were coming from NATO, it's over. Andussia is just now so rapidly advancing and it has the
kiev government in a chokehold so why would they want to negotiate now why would they want
to they're in a strong position now they're not in a weak position not that they've
ever really been in a weak position but there was definitely there's definitely been a i mean look
i remember when i went to dunyetsk city when i was in dunyetsk city at the hotel they had just
right before i came eliminated an artillery position of uh the ukrainian army making the much, much safer than it had been before.
Now, I had the great luck of being 300 meters away from a partial High Mars strike, but that was an exception that's not often that the high mars are used from my knowledge
uh especially in the city center right city center of donyatsk city i mean what are the odds it's 300 meters
away from where i was that i for sure thought i was like we were being targeted that's how close it was
but still the facts are the facts.
The fact is that Donetsk City is much safer than it was before because of the advances of the Russian military that they had been making.
Now, I want to get into a topic that is not that pressing and immediate, but is more generally something I was thinking about,
which is an observation that I can make that a lot of people, when we talk about politics, when we talk about understanding the world and things that are abstract and not necessarily personal.
And then it can get personal depending on people's psychological state, of course.
But do you ever sit around and wonder and realize?
Because I often am oblivious to this, to the extent of it.
Just how much your average person really does get their entire worldview, their entire worldview, their entire comprehension of morals, of right and wrong, of who the good guy is, all of it they get from Hollywood and TV shows and video games.
And you notice that for a lot of people, I laugh at it because I think it's like stupid,
but for a lot of people, oh, Russia are the bad guys and Ukraine are the good guys.
That a lot of people genuinely think that way.
And it's because I guess they've been taught in these movies or these video games they play or whatever they're doing that the big one is the bad one and the small people are the good people whereas in you look at actual history the small british empire small island of britain went to big india
and all these big land masses africa and so on and so on, larger populations.
And, you know, who were the good guys and the bad guys?
It was very clearly Britain, right?
It was clearly Portugal and Britain and these small shitty countries that went around the world looting and pillaging and destroying giant civilizations.
The Middle East and so on and so on.
So people don't get that, though, because I think about it.
It's like, when's the last time in a Hollywood movie, you hear about this arrogant small island
of assholes that
go to a large, great
civilization and just fuck
everything up. No, it's always
some great empire
is going to conquer and
destroy you.
And then these small innocent people that are like in the,
we will defend our small little stupid village.
And that's like, that's like the trope, right?
But in reality, it's actually the opposite.
And I'll tell you why, because great big empires.
So Hollywood teaches you that in great big giant, continuous, like big power empires, right? That all of that can be reduced to the subjective
mania of some big asshole so in in zach Snyder's 300 there was a big weird asshole a xerxes
he was this weird, naked guy. No one knows why he was depicted, because the real
Xerxes was, you know, he, he had a beard, he was dressed, and he wasn't naked but this one
was like some big weird asshole
I want
unlimited power
and then in every
other
film or TV show show or the Star Wars,
I am Darth Vader.
I'm a big asshole.
I just want to be a big asshole for no reason because I'm a big bully who's just a fucking asshole.
It wants power.
That's the trope, right?
Just some big asshole, and that big
empire is a big asshole.
Big jerk, bully.
Okay, but I want to explain to reality though right so in reality a big empire a big power is always based on a big principle.
You need a very big, grand, beautiful, sublime, old, weathered, tested, prince, imperson impersonal fundamentally impersonal impersonal
that that has been weathered over generations and thousands of years and enriched with
wisdom and experience,
only a principle can unite so many different groups
and be capable of governing at a scale of such a large territory.
Only a principle, right, is capable of accomplishing that. And you'll find
as the emperor, the great leader, the Cyrus the Great, whatever you want, Stalin, Mao. These are people
that are trying to serve this principle and do their best to attend to it. But that principle is not at a scale of an individual subject. It's an objective reality that binds together and it's just it's more noble it's more powerful it's
it's not petty it's something big that's meaningful right and that is what is capable of
actually uniting human beings at scale, at the scale of large powers.
Whereas a petty small people, they don't need a great principle to serve as the foundation of their
existence.
They can be motivated by egotism.
They could be motivated by pettiness, hatred,
subjective one-sidedness,
you know, in a grand empire,
like the Chinese empires, the Russianussian before the romanovs at least um
ottoman empire soffit empire whatever you like the inkin empire even the ashtic empire you know
no one-sided subjectivity could serve as the foundation of a great that those great powers
it's always a dialectical principle because only a dialectical principle can overcome differences
between different groups and unite them on a basis bigger than themselves, right? Only that
could command into service millions and millions of individuals to sacrifice their own interests for something
greater right and it's like you know uh that's not true for small, shitty countries.
That's not true for small, shitty, petty, narcissistic, subjectivistic, you know,
Azov, Ukraine, whatever that's not true. They don't have
to have a well-rounded
dialectical perspective. They don't have to have a
more holistic view. They don't have to have
an understanding of you have to balance
the interests of different groups and you have
to rise above such pettiness and smallness no they could just they could just be motivated by
the immediacy of some kind of grudge some kind of hatred, some kind of egotism, greed, anything, right?
So, you know, Hollywood doesn't teach you this. It teaches you the opposite of what's the truth, right?
Because it doesn't give expression to bigger impersonal collective principles in hollywood
films and in tv shows and in video games you'll notice something about the western liberal
ideology right which is that collective principles don't exist. Only individual subjects and their
feelings exist. I can't tell you how many movies and TV shows and games
I've seen where the premise of the plot is like okay five trillion people are going to be wiped out
unless this one person gets shot and then in the story the villain is the person who's like, yeah, just shoot that, shoot them.
Like we need to, yeah, I mean, five trillion.
Are you kidding?
What's one person compared to five trillion, right?
But then the show was like like who are you to decide
who are you to play God
it's not your choice
it's my choice
what
and you're
that's the good guy
like what is that
you know what I mean like that's the protest guy? Like, what is that?
You know what I mean? Like,
that's the protagonist.
Give me a fucking break. That's ridiculous.
But that's what, and they only believe individuals exist. They don't believe there's anything bigger.
There's no, because, I'll tell you why.
Because anything...
Let me explain to you something very sad about Western liberalism.
More like, you know, Western neoliberalism.
Call it whatever you want, right?
But it's something very sad and rotten about this
mentality, which is that unless it's tangible to an individual, it doesn't exist. Like,
a collective principle is not tangible, okay?
This is tangible. This was a gift given to me.
This is tangible, okay?
This is tangible. This is the music box.
It's a tangible thing, right?
So it exists, I guess, right?
Individuals are tangible.
So I guess individuals exist.
But a collective principle, I can't sense that completely.
I can't fully experience that just as one individual, therefore it't exist how vain how uh silly is that
mentality and that outlook so i'm one individual right will i ever experience the entire circle of life?
No. I will live maybe maximum 90 years if I'm lucky.
And I'm just, by the way, I'm a man, right?
So I'm a man, which is one half of what a human being is
fully, right? And I which is one half of what a human being is fully right and i will never know what it's like to
give birth to a child i'll never know what it's like no one will by the way ultimately to know what it's like to experience the entire scale of time of a generational cycle i am part only one part of a generational cycle and so are you you're only one part of a generational cycle but if you have kids for example you will
have descendants and and there will be a generational cycle that comes after you you'll just never
fully experience it so does that mean it doesn't exist?
Just because you're not going to be around when your kids have kids, have kids, have kids,
does that mean they don't exist and they're not real?
So at the level of time, we know that there are things objects if you want to call them hyper objects right so Timothy morton i think would call them that exists
at a scale so much larger than it can be comprehended by individual experience, right?
And they exist. It's just that you will not be around to it. You cannot experience them as a subject, right?
So that also exists in terms of social reality. That's what a collective principle is.
It's you, you will never fully experience it yourself. Never, right? You'll never fully be able to experience the some total, the entire ensemble of social relations that constitute a civilization or a people. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And that doesn't mean there is not a responsibility
of wise governance and statecraft to attend to this reality. And this is the fact. And you know
who understood this was Mao? Because there was a specific interpretation of Marxism. I hate
this interpretation, which says
that in the withering away of the state,
the centralization
of authority will disappear, and everyone's
just going to willy-nilly do whatever they want,
right? And you know what Mouse said, it was so interesting.
He said, I don't actually, Mao said, this is his words, I'm paraphrasing him.
He's like, I don't actually think the state will ever wither away.
He's like, we're always going to need these courts that we've had in China for thousands and thousands of years to settle petty squabbles
and disputes between people we're always going to need some kind of like authority that's
going to be able to actually wisely govern people at scale in some kind of way.
He said maybe a state in the Western sense won't exist as
an organ of class dictatorship
but he said there still
is going to be a central authority.
And that's the correct
Marxist view, you know. And that's the correct Marxist view, you know.
And that is not something you'll ever be able to experience just as an individual by
yourself.
Not even the supreme leader or the emperor can do that.
But all they can do is assume the reins of power and responsibility.
And the application of will in service to this principle to make decisions that ensure the continuity of generations.
So, like, that's good, though.
That's what a good guy would do.
That's what the good guys are.
The good guys are not. The good guys are not
the good guys are
Darth Vader and Emperor
Palpatine, you know, looking over
the universe, making sure
that, you know, there's stability,
people have food on their
tip. That's a huge responsibility.
And, you know, I hate Hollywood so much.
So, so, so, so Darth Vader's an asshole just because he doesn't go to every single person's house and hold their hand and, and subjectively engage and and kiss on the cheek
everyone before they go to bed that means he's an asshole who's cold and ruthless fuck you know that
this is nonsense okay, Darth Vader's
the good guy, because he's
doing it from afar,
but he's the one taking
responsibility and
assuming a perspective at
scale that all these people
in villages and these stupid Chewbacca's or whatever, they don't have
their perspective to balance in ways so many conflicting interests and so many different needs and
necessities of society at scale. The chubacas and the dumb fucking
iwarks all they're just scratching their ass with a stick they don't care and that's fine
it's good it's good to live and be a normal person.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But don't point your fingers and call Darth Vader an asshole because he's doing what needs to be done to bring, you know, to unite a fucking galaxy, right?
So it's just, it doesn't have to be Darth Vader.
It can be Sauron.
It could be Xerxes from 300.
It could be is, in Harry
Potter, what was the,
that's what Voldemort wanted to, right?
He wanted to just conquer everything.
I guess him as well, you know. Lord Fargo, well, you know,
you know, Lord Farcars, well, you know, Lord Farc, well, you know, Lord Farquod's an interesting case because Shrek, you know, when you think, you know, it's actually interesting because Shrek, Shrek was not here to, to, to, to, like, metal in Lord, Lord, Shrek was not here to like meddle in Lord.
Shrek was not saying like, oh, Lord Farkwad, you're doing it all wrong.
How dare you?
You know, my feelings.
No, Shrek was just standing on business.
To be honest, what was going on between Shrek and Lord Farkwa.
Shrek, he was a, he was, he was, Shrek was a freehold peasant who was, I'll tell you what's going on in Shrek. It's just like so simple, right?
Shrek was a freehold
peasant who is living
in an asiatic mode of production
right and lord farquod
shrek was always
cool with whoever the emperor was
he was chill like he had no problem he didn't
want to get involved in politics he was a freehold
peasant right but the problem is that lord farquod was a greek and that's the worst
lord farquod wanted to end the Asiatic mode of production and institute private property and eliminate freehold peasants like Shrek and all these fairy tale creatures because those are the freehold peasants, I guess, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and them in one place to be slaves and laborers.
And that violated the social contract, right?
And Shrek wasn't having it.
He wasn't having it, you know?
And, you know, you think about it and it's like the dragon, what was the dragon?
You know, and the dragon was a symbol of Chinese civilization.
So the dragon represented this ancient principle of the Asiatic society that Shrek was living in. Lord Farquod tells Shrek, go kill the dragon.
Go end the supreme, grand and sublime principle of civilization and statehood. So he can affect his Greek pedastry reforms to create private property and end freehold civilization, right?
And, you know, that that dragon, like, that was a symbol of something right and he was saying oh go rescue the princess from the dragon and and and um lord farquod wanted to take Fiona.
Well, Fiona, it kind of sounds like Sophia.
This is Sophianic principle.
So Fiona represents the entire body politic.
The entire, not the body politic the whole uh social body
of the people it's you know it's like a
it's like an analogy for
for the
the masses of the people right
you gotta read solovia of sociology
to understand it
anyways
Fiona represents um of sociology to understand it. Anyways,
Fiona represents like the trust
of the masses and the pieces.
Farquod wanted to take that and undermine it.
And you know what Shrek did,
he took Fiona
and he brought her back to the masses because the he
shrekified her Fiona was in that tower locked because the whole reason farquod was getting away
with his his wild nefarious plots and tricks the whole reason he was able to do it
was because you know the the the there was an out of touchness with the masses and the dynastic cycle of statehood, right?
You read about Michael Hudson, he talks about how the oligarchical principle started to take hold
when this periodic dynastic
process of debt cancellation stopped
happening and you know
the vast accumulation of wealth was able
to occur and and on
this basis the you know the rest
is history right that's the rise of private
property itself
well that dynastic cycle
was was being
frozen
because Fiona was locked in that tower
far above and away from the masses
you know and you know when shrek when he shrekified
fiona she turns green and big and whatever um she that was like the debt that was like the
the debt cancellation.
This far away principle going back down to the masses
becoming among the people,
right?
Regaining touch with the people,
with the masses.
So, you know i i would not go so far as to say that shrek is an example of what you know shrek you could you could read shrek in a lot of different ways. But anyway,
anyway,
let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, in that,
in that topic, you know, general.
So, so basically what I'm trying to say is that um Hollywood okay
forget about Shrek stop thinking about fucking Shrek you know it was a detour I
wasn't even the main point forget about Shrek. Stop thinking about fucking Shrek. You know, it was a detour. I wasn't even the main point.
Forget about Shrek.
But the whole point was how Hollywood and TV shows
and video games have completely warped
and distorted
people's ideology and worldview.
And it goes back to Russia, Ukraine and all that kind of stuff.
So, you know, I've Now, this is just when it comes to politics,
but you know, for a lot of people,
it also applies to morality in their personal lives and their relationships.
They get it from these TV shows and movies.
And it's starting to get a little scary because, you know,
autism is becoming widespread,
much more widespread than it ever has been before.
And a lot of people are starting to look to TV shows and movies to simulate and emulate emotions.
And because they don't have authentic experiences that give them emotion, so they are emulating the ones that they see to find meaning in their lives,
to be like characters and movies and TV shows and video games and stuff, right?
That's why, and I'm not trying to make fun of them.
I genuinely, it's a concerning phenomenon.
Like,
and you'll find people that are extremely on the spectrum in,
um,
in grade school or whatever.
They're always like trying to be a character directly,
like from an anime or Sonic to Hedgehog or something.
And it's generally because they, um, don't have guidance as far as like, where to derive
meaning, right?
So they're just getting it from Hollywood. And I'm just trying to say that
I don't want to be this, I don't want to repeat the cliche that media literacy is important. But in some sense it really is. And I think about it a lot and how much it actually matters because I forgot about it. I remember when I was like 13 and I was first getting interested in Marxism, how much I had to actually change how I experienced and consumed movies and stuff.
Like, I was always, like, so paranoid, it was all all propaganda and I would have to dissect
it so critically and think so
critically about movies
and TV shows and
video games
and okay so is this anti
how is this anti-communist is this
like that I was on that vibe length
because I was adopting the Marxist worldview.
But it's just silly to me now, but when I was growing up, I felt like when you watched a movie or a TV show or something,
the ideological messages in themes in those were so compelling that it almost was like you had to resist
being tempted
by the message that they were selling.
Like this is the truth, this is reality.
And you had to kind of like,
in a way, resist the compulsion
to buy into that
and like be compelled by it. And, and like, be compelled by it and and and therefore you had to like not enjoy
it and i think that's sad because i missed out on a lot of on a lot okay i was a fanatic when i was in high school i there was a lot, okay? I was a fanatic. When I was in high school, there was a lot of movies and just I
wouldn't consume it because like I don't want to enjoy this because if I enjoy it, it's going to
degrade my Marxist principles and like my ideological conviction. I don't want that. And that's really sad because
today I am now like I can consume anything and enjoy any movie or if I like it and I can actually
objectively be like this is good or this is bad. And even if it like it, and I can actually objectively be like, this is good or this is bad.
And even if it's ideologically dog shit, I could still appreciate it.
And I don't have to have this fanaticism I used to have.
But I have to every so often think about the fact that that's not true for like the majority of people for the majority of people they are so addicted they are so plugged in to like move like the like the like pop culture that it actually is the
fullest possible horizon of meaningfulness for them to the point where like it does it is that
serious like for example, like, I told you, I was watching a show called Foundation on Apple, right?
It's, like, such a ideologically, like, dog shit show, right?
But, like, I enjoy it because it's, like, I see how they're, like, I enjoy it because it's like, I see how they're like, I like the execution. I don't know. It's like, I appreciate the execution. But there's a lot of people that can't consume media that way where it's like this is really bad
but on it i can still appreciate the objective significance in some kind of way not just the
subjective experience of consumption right and a lot of people don't have the
capacity to imagine in that way and i find it really scary like when i watch a blockbuster movie
and it's and I decide
that it's good, one of the reasons
I think it's good is because it increases
the range of imagination.
Right? Like, I could do
a counter narrative in my head.
I could imagine there's, I could think about
a plot that would be really cool.
And how could, I always want to, like, think about how would I fix this movie?
How would I make it ideologically correct?
And use its imagery as the raw material to inspire, you know, higher forms of contemplation
and consciousness, right?
And no, I'm not talking about fan fiction.
I'm just talking about, like, just purely imagination, like thinking about like this is the vibe you know
like this is uh it's like a it's very much like a vibe based like for example um
there's not really an example I could use
it's not going to sound retarded but it's like I remember the
Godzilla movies
actually like allowed me to think about
Heidegger a lot better right
I don't know.
It sounds like really retarded,
but it's the truth.
It's like,
that's how I like to enjoy
media, you know?
I guess.
And, um, I feel like that without the French school of thought, without like reading about
Deleuze, I mean, forget La Con.
La Con is a given, but Deleuze is, I think, way more important, right?
Without a lot of engagement with phenomenology
and these kind of schools of thought
in the late 20th century,
I think that people will become enslaved to pop culture idols that become like a religion for them.
And I might sound crazy, but I'm starting to get it now because every time I go online I'm always seeing people freak
out over a fucking TV show
they're like they ruined the last
of us they ruined the last
and I'm like who gives a fuck
it's like what
why does it matter
if it gets ruined?
Why does it even matter?
They ruined the video game.
It's like, what?
Why does that matter?
And now I get it.
It's like, well, the reason it matters to these people is because this is their fucking religion.
This is where they are actively getting a continuous stream of
acquaintance with the meaningfulness of existence itself, right?
Yeah, like the Starship Troopers discourse and like how much people like aggressively defend their
fantasies oh i have a fantasy of star wars i have to defend this fantasy you can't ruin it for me
don't you dare ruin it for me. And it's like,
like when I made my Lord of the Rings tweet,
for example, like, a lot
of people were genuinely like,
like, like,
going to the hospital and shit.
Amilo with the tent. Like, a lot of people were, like,
shaking and pissing and shitting their pants. Like, a lot of people were like shaking and pissing and shitting their pants.
Like a lot of people like were really getting dizzy and like it was ruining their lives.
And Reddit was the same way and it's like holy shit.
And I
kind of understand it now, which is that
they'd never
went through that experience that I take
for granted, which is like media
literacy. And I'm not saying
media literacy is where you, from a detached
perspective, put fucking, you know, academic spectacles on and start, like, filtering everything through some kind of, like, textual analysis or reduction.
Like, oh, these are the themes that are, no, no, no, I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying, like, the bare minimum of a kind of phenomenological type
thinking where it's almost like where you're like oh this looks cool i like how this looks
i like this it's almost like a Lynchian.
You know, it was very phenomenal logical thinker, I guess,
was like David Lynch.
Because David Lynch would just be like,
hey, I like how that looks.
I like how that works. I like how that looks. I like how that works.
I like how that moves.
I like how that comes together in that way.
And it's not necessarily that this reflects a narrative or a specific claim or a specific metaphysical statement.
It's just more like there's a reality to the,
there's an objective reality, I guess,
to the, um,
to the, um,
to, to, to, to to this um visual language i don't know if you could call it that right um he's like lynch allowed himself to be seduced by um uh things he could not explain like like rationally i guess right or narratively and i always assume everyone's like that but it's just not
it's stupid to assume that it's like hollywood and pop culture it's like everything for people it's
literally everything it's everything it's the
fucking be-all end all for a lot of people and um i i i guess i would say that, I think it, the class element here starts to become decisive in ways that I think a lot of people don't reflect on all that often or that deeply, right?
I think that I'm going to propose something really controversial, which is totally outside Orthodox
Marxism. And I'm not even like, I'm not stating it as like a definitive theory of class.
I just want to get people's thoughts in a more creative direction to think about class, right?
If we live in a, if we fundamentally live in a consumer-based society, right?
This is a society whose ultimate subject is a consumer right and i think that's a fair
appraisal of the society we live in we're a society of consumers we're all a bunch of curators
who are arguing over um the gender and race of characters in games and arguing over we're consumers right that's a we're consumer oriented society whose ultimate subject is a consumer, right?
Isn't it very interesting how class differences,
maybe they're also shaped by people's relationship and proximity
to the material premises of reality?
Like, for example, that's going to sound like simple to a lot of you, but you should maybe think about it from this perspective.
Like, why is someone who's PMC never going to understand somebody who's like a blue collar worker, right?
Because a blue collar worker is not sitting on a chair just consuming.
Okay, a blue collar worker has a fundamental range of experience that comes from the violence of actually altering and shaping reality physically.
Right. And that's not always glamorous and that's not a passive act of consumption that just like reinforces the meaningfulness of the world to you.
It's a, it's like, it's a violent, active relationship to the world that endangers a new range of experience.
Hit what's going on?
A new range of experience, which demands, you know, a greater threshold of, of fidelity when it comes to things that you're consuming.
Like, you know, if you are about some real shit, you listen to real music, for example, right? If you're a, if you're genuinely a gangbanger
who's catching bullets and, you know, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, listen to music that reflects that range of experience, right?
And it's the same thing for workers, genuine workers, right?
And what I guess what I mean to say is that if you don't have a real job full of disclosure i don't right but i have some
self-awareness i guess but if you don't have a real job you are just a consumer and you have no ability to critically think about the things you're consuming
passively because you don't know what real life is that goes into this fake bullshit.
Like, isn't that simple?
How I just put it?
It's like, if you're actually part of the working class, you have to constantly be faced with the violent and abrupt discontinuities within the general phenomenology of society.
Like, you are, you are forced to actually deal with like the back end basically right and therefore you maintain already as a subject a level of critical distance toward media that others do not.
Because your critical distance from media is that you are actively in some kind of way responsible for actual reality, at least to some extent.
Most people are not, or a lot of the population are.
A lot of the population are not responsible for reality in any decisive way.
They are just responsible for managing and curating different representations of reality.
So, for example, if you work at a, I don't know, a firm or you work, you are managing and
administrating the communication of reality and the communication of information and how it's depicted.
You are not actually directly confronting and facing the stuff out of which reality is made and comes together, right?
So it's like at that level,
there's an interesting class distinction that emerges, you know,
just at the level of the phenomenology of popular media.
Yeah, that's why liberal PMC is so out there and it's unrelatable and it's a stretch.
I'll tell you exactly why.
Because they pretend to have a level of critical distance to media that they don't actually have.
Instead of having authentic critical distance to movies and TV shows and video games,
they impose a false filter that is primarily based on like a meta narrative meta you know textual analysis where they're just reading into shit and imposing things that are not actually there whereas i think that the proletarian notion of media literacy is actually more like Lynchian, where it's like, it's reflected in memes.
You know where I see the most amount of proletarian media literacy?
I see it in memes. I see it in memes.
I see it in memes that are basically like applying things that happen in movies and TV shows and video games or whatever.
In scenarios and in real life ways that are like that actually are funny and make sense and are like ironic in a lot of ways, right?
It's like, I think that is a higher form of media literacy than the whole thing about like the capitalist structure of Star Wars.
Darth Vader represents primitive accumulation because he's the colonial
extractive nature
of the Death Star
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know i don't know yeah people there's people who just do deal with relations of consumption
and there's people involved in actual production of some kind and that's why i think that all of these
non-workers reditors are hateful toward russia and putton because they
just the extent of their reality is pop media and and it's it's really the case it's really the case. It's really sad.
And you know, you think some right-wingers who claim to be red-pilled, you'd think that they, oh, they're totally outside the Matrix.
No, they're not. they always have a fundamental fantasy and i exposed it when i uh started making fun of lord of the rings i started making fun of
the rings and they all started, they freaked out.
And I was like, oh, that's what's going on.
You are not people who took the red pill and you're outside the fucking Matrix like you claim.
You are people who have a fundamental fantasy in Lord of the Rings versus
and that's your like bedrock
like that's the bedrock of your psychological
stability and the coherence
of your reality and worldview
you know
um whereas like you know and you could see different factions of the right have different
fundamental i'll tell you like for example there's the lord of the rings right and then there's
the game of thrones right the game of thr right LARPs and pretends that they're
realists and they're like,
Powah is Powat.
Power is power.
And they,
that's actually like their
whole vibe. Like they actually think that way.
And they have no critical
thinking. There's are all and
look it's like we're living in a society
where like everyone is a fucking NPC
programmed by some
fucking movie or TV show
right?
And it's like me,
I feel like
I'm the only conscious, sentient
being.
I don't,
I don't,
I don't know what movie or TV show
I'm a character of.
I definitely draw from
stuffed in ironic ways to make
but not seriously.
You know?
Like what, who am I
pretending to be?
You know?
Um,
definitely you know um definitely not anything that exists i'm pretending you know what i'm not claiming that i'm uh... just directly
you know, a direct
you can't on the internet. There's no way.
No one's directly just who they are on the internet.
But if you want to know something,
the character that I'm pretending to be
is in a film that has not been made yet that only i could
make only i could direct this film only i could produce this film this that's that's my uh my my my my my uh inspiration something that doesn't exist
but should in my opinion
and I could I could make many movies
by the way by the way I could make many movies
many movies many movies I could make many many movies
I have so many ideas for movies
And I don't want to do any of the work
I just want to write the script and be the idea guy
So I want to be a type of director who's on set
And I'm just like all right of director who's on set.
And I'm just like, all right, this is what's got it.
I don't care how you make it happen.
Just make it happen.
And I could make so many cool things.
I have so many different ideas for movies i have a lot of ideas
but imagine if they let me make one movie if they let me make one movie i could change the world
let me make one movie i could change the whole fucking world right they? They won't let me do it.
There's so many, and I have so many ideas as well.
Do it with AI.
I don't have the patience.
I'm too lazy even for that.
I have a lot of movie ideas. A lot of movie ideas.
A lot of ideas. Me and Logo should film a TV show. always say that me and logo are the dream team for a TV show we should both
make a TV show that's that's the thing that needs to happen.
Me and Logo will be the TV guys. You all want to know something crazy, though.
You won't believe it, but it's it's the truth you know all these like neo nazis all of them without exception all these like neo pagan neo nazis i shit you not i shit you not
you want to know the truth i'm about to expose them all you want to know the truth i'm about to expose them all you want to know the truth every single one are you ready every single one is LARPing Skyrim.
I'm not fucking kidding.
Every single one is LARPing Skyrim.
It all came from Skyrim they play skyrim
do thump dude
and the round dragon ball
oh my god
like they they play skyrim
and they're like the powerful Aryan.
Like it's literally fucking Skyrim.
Like that's their whole shit is coming from Skyrim.
I'm not fucking kidding.
That's how powerful pop media is.
And you know, I'm not here to be the dipshit who goes, we need to stop.
We just go back to reality.
You can't.
There's no way to avoid the dimension of literature.
That's what it is. Literature. And LARP. There's no real way to avoid it fully.
And you'll read about the early revolutionaries of the Russian Revolution and the revolutionary underground.
Every single one was inspired by fictional characters from books.
Every single one, they were all inspired by fiction.
All of them.
Every single one were inspired by these fictional characters, right?
And it's not like this was something created just with the rise of visual media.
It's only been accelerated.
So you should always have a creative mind where you're thinking about how can we play with these things how can you play with these narratives and movies and and these visual uh not not in a cynical way where you're detached and
you're you're being cynical but more like how can we give expression to real principles and truth and narratives?
How can you take from the raw material of these high production and very popular, tap into the unconscious of what makes these things so compelling to
people and try to distill the grain of truth of like what what social realities and values do
these reflect and that's what we should really be focused you You should really have that creative outlook and mentality, you know, in my opinion.
You should not ever limit yourself.
You know what I never, you know what I think is a really, why we need French theory is because most people have a fundamental fantasy.
They have one specific fiction that they always have to go back to and they can't escape.
So for the right wingers, it's Lord of the Rings.
But people always have, you know, for example, Jason Unruh, he has fallout.
It's just the truth.
For him, fallout is the supreme horizon of his, how much he allows himself to indulge in this kind of realm of fantasy and stuff.
And it's true, though, that most people have a fundamental fantasy.
And I think to be a Marxist consistently, you cannot.
That doesn't mean you pretend to just go back to naive realism, but you should have
such a dynamic comprehension of the phenomenology of pop media that
you're able to traverse many
different fictional worlds
and stories and narratives
and stuff like that and
really
articulate the
rational kernel within all of them, right?
That's kind of the vibe you should be on.
You should not confine yourself
or limit yourself to any kind of
foundation of
like one specific fundamental fictional fantasy of of what you consider to be like
the supreme horizon of reality and existence right but most people do when they are political extremists they absolutely do on the right they're all
into um uh skyrim and then leftists you know what leftists are into so for example you know
you know you observe i i don't mean to like call them out but like
i'm just going to do it anyway do you know why hasan piker dresses weird because he's trying to be like
the anime characters from one piece and these like anime shows that he watches.
Because for him, like
One Piece and these anime shows, it seems
like these are his fundamental fantasies.
It's come from childhood, probably.
You know?
But that's why he dresses strangely.
And like, you you could whenever you see so you could tell like you could tell what theirs is just by like noticing these patterns you know a lot of the time
like uh for example, I think for leftists or leftists, it's usually a combination of anime.
I see it. There's a lot of, um, give me a, give me a famous leftist personality. I'll tell you who they're larping.
Like it's so obvious a lot of the time, right?
There's a lot of diversity there, but often you'll find that it's usually Star Wars.
That's usually a huge one is Star Wars
usually huge like they're always trying to be like
the rebels from Star Wars
it's like a really especially the recent Star Wars things
I think
your typical lip tards will be like this is how basically like typical lip tards will be like,
this is how basically like typical lip tards are going to be like Harry Potter, right?
And Star Wars as well.
But as they get more radicalized,
radicalized,
they'll start lARPing like
You know oh we're really into Star Wars now like we're really big time
Into like the hardcore rebel alliance
You know LARP
And then there's there's many many others
Well no logo has good...
I'm not demonizing One Piece.
I'm saying...
Logo, it's not a fundamental fantasy, you know?
Um... Yeah, they'll be super into
um
peeky blinders
or some shit it's always like some
bullshit
a mop and I don't I don't know, because a lot of the thing is, I have to make a confession as well.
I am not that literate when it comes to popular media in terms of my range of consumption.
I don't know all the movies and TV shows and video games.
I admittedly only know about like the main ones.
But there's stuff that I just don't know about that people are super into, you know? A lot of the millennial leftists on X, I noticed they're like Simpsons.
Like for them, it's the Simpsons, big time.
I think, you know, the healthiest one, the healthiest fundamental fantasy a person can
have is probably South Park.
Because at the very least, it'll give them a basic roadmap of knowing how to avoid being
cringe.
But it's still not good.
But at the very minimum, you won't end up like...
With the Fallout barbed wire bat or some shit.
You know? Walking Dead. Yeah, there's a lot of shit. There's a lot of shit people they're getting all of it from.
And yeah, I mean, it's sad. I think it's sad. It's really scary to think about a lot of people cannot live without these like narratives and stories and shit.
It can't live without them. It's fucking disturbing to me. Crazy. You know, am i am i wrong am i wrong am i just like uh i don't know i don't know i feel like i'm like i've i I've touched upon something that's like forbidden knowledge,
forbidden truth.
Am I right that like almost every single person is like fucking larping
as like some fucking stupid fictional character they saw or am i myself
like autistic and maybe like can see why fellow autistic people go down that path but do make a conscious decision to
reject it on my part but projected on all normal people wrongly because i'm i'm all i guess i have
the self-awareness to accept that might be possible as well like, people are genuinely normal and are not doing that.
But I just kind of, like, feel like everyone has this super dependence on, like, fictional bullshit.
It's like, I'm gonna, you know what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna fucking put the entire Arab American
community on blast. Every single, all the, the older generation of the entire Arab
American community is fucking larping the godfather.
They're all
fucking larping Italian
crime dramas. Every single
one of them.
Every single one of them, they're all
larping that. They're all larping that.
All of them.
All Lebanese people that are above the age of 50 or 45, they are laring Italian crime films.
All of them.
Goodfellas, all of that shit.
It's all, their whole life is LARP.
All right?
And then, there's, you know, I hate people that LARP Tony Montana I fucking hate that
It's so cringe
You're not the fucking main character
It's like someone's shitting in public
Like I'm Tony Montana
I can't help it
I can't help it
I'm so crazy
Shut the fuck up right
Anyway Yeah Help it. I'm so crazy. Shut the fuck up. Right.
Anyway.
Yeah. You know, You know what else is someone to think about a lot of people
on the same way that they're dependent on fictional narratives, they are nihilists.
They are narrative nihilists when it comes to actual history and reality.
Because here's what I'll say, the ultimate narrative, the ultimate narrative, is the reality of history itself.
And a lot of people are cynical about that. They're like, no, there's no, there's no metanarrative.
You know, this postmodern trope of, oh, there's no metanarrative.
But what is the communist manifesto say you know
specter is haunting iran what does marx say later he goes in his his early writings not not later earlier goes, it's the riddle of history solved.
This is a meta-narrative, right?
And this is what has been lost.
Is an authentic meta-narrative,
which is all history is. That's all history means. That's all it is, right? And it's like the power of narrative, the power and essence of historical existence, it's been alienated in such a way that it's been dispersed across the medium of fiction,
such that people have this way of being able to enjoy this fundamental aspect of human existence,
which is narrative, while still maintaining a distance toward it in such a way as is, oh, but it's not real, so it doesn't matter.
And then this is why we have these really bizarre paradoxes.
It's not real and doesn't matter,
but what's this Gamergate shit?
What's this like shit about people
like losing their mind over the video game
or the movie not going in the way they wanted it to.
Like their life fucking depends on it.
And their whole identity is curated
on the basis of this fucking
movie franchise. And like, it's
so important to them. It means so much
to them. Right?
And it's like,
this is,
this is a big,
I'm always thinking about how do we bring people to communist consciousness?
This is why I have to think in these ways these very strange ways
but you know people have become alienated from the historical authentic uh reality of their historical existence through the medium of fiction which precisely gives them
the illusion not not that fiction is real but that there is some kind of blank neutral meaningless realism that is devoid of narrative power
in other words the notion that actual reality is this desolate barren wasteland devoid of any kind of spirit, as Hegel would call it, devoid of any narrative power.
And the only way to enjoy and not simply enjoy.
I'm using enjoying a loaded French term.
I don't want to use jargon, you know.
But the only way people can, put it this way, for human beings,
historical existence, which is what narrative is, it's oxygen.
They fucking need it to make sense of their existence in reality.
All of that has been outsourced to the pure medium of fiction.
But in the real, in reality itself, there's a total foreclosure, right? So in the realm of a fiction, they can from a comfortable, safe distance, play with a bunch of different narratives,
which are ultimately always the same narrative in Hollywood. It's the same ideology, right?
But then when it comes to actual reality, there's a barrenness of, well, there's nothing.
So there's this fundamental dependency on fictional narratives to avoid confrontation with the traumatic and much more difficult to confront narrative of the real right
the narrative of the real is not simply someone else's narrative or someone else's
story it's our story it's our story as a society it's our story as human beings that exist
for example what's going on in Gaza?
It's not a narrative. It's something real and actually happening.
But there is a narrative of the real that's going on. Like, this is a genocide.
This is so many stories of people being victimized and tortured and
murdered and killed. And like, that is something very fucking real, right? And that's not a movie.
It's not a TV show.
There's no movie or no TV show and there's no video game that could ever put you into proximity with a necessary confrontation of reckoning with the meaningfulness of our existence through this event that's happening.
And that's why I think the Palestinian struggle has cut across the hegemony so effectively in the way that it has.
It has shaken Hollywood.
It has shaken TV.
It has shaken gaming, everything, you know.
Because once again, people are...
Didn't you name yourself after a Lovecraft carry?
Who cares? Who cares?
Look, Lovecraft...
Look, Abdul al-Hazrad
is just some kind of
um
uh ironic thing
because he's the mad Arab
he's a crazy Arab
so my first expectation
is that people
maybe rightfully will just say I'm a fucking
crazy guy so this is all it means you know um
just a crazy arab guy you know anyway look um but but no no i mean uh even then, though, what did I say earlier?
There's no way of avoiding fiction.
There's no way of avoiding fiction.
You know, most narrative, there's two...
Let me...
Can I...
Guys, can you...
Can you... Let me cook.
Stay put.
Like, this is so important I'm about to tell you.
It's gonna fucking change your world, right?
There are two...
There are two... are two versions of k f thank you there are two versions of kf thank you there are two versions of the same a crisis of
meta-narratives, right?
Two types of subjects that
exist in today's society.
There are narrative nihilists.
Narrative nihilists
do not believe in
metanarratives. They do not believe narratives exist in the real or have any meaningful reality in the real just fiction so let me just play with star wars and and harry potter and that's where i'll cry and have emotions and i'll be in but in real life i mean you know rarely will they will they bring
it to real life unless they want to become autistic which is the second thing then there are
narrative naive realists now narrative naive realists can be political ideologists. They can be extremists. They could be something else. They could be this. They could be that. But narrative naive realists will, they will say, I directly ascribe to a specific real narrative and just the real. So I am a Maoist of the real.
That's my narrative. That's my real narrative, right? Okay okay the narrative naive realist what if what is what's what's
actually going on with a narrative naive realist with a narrative naive realist what's going on
is that they are taking a bunch of
different fictional narratives
and they're exclusively
insisting on one
because they're never just Maoists
they are fallout
Maoists. You understand? They always need this supplementary fictional narrative background from which the meaningfulness of their ideology can be given exclusive expression.
And the narrative naive realist will say, I'm not into all of this Hollywood fandom, I'm directly the real, right?
But they always need this second thing that's always lurking in the background, you know?
It's like they'll have that stupid hat.
They'll have the peekie blinders hat.
They'll be like, oh, this is just my hat that i have to
wear you know every so this is there um that's psychosis this is what they call in psychonysis
psychosis they're foreclosing the reel by um elevating uh you know, confusing the imaginary, basically, for the signifier,
collapsing the distinction between signifier and imaginary, right?
And that is, that, that's what's going on with uh with narrative naive realism so the the the the the the the the the the the only correct path for a marxist leninist in my view is is um neither naive narrative naive realism nor um nor narrative nihilism but something more
like what jizek calls uh the reality of the virtual,
comprehending how truth has the structure of a fiction, right?
This is why Zizek, I think, is important to comprehend and understand.
Not a cynical distance from the world of fictional narratives,
but more like understanding how reality is even more dynamic and strange than fiction itself, right?
Um, and strange than fiction itself, right? Rather than the narrative naive realism,
which just says, you know,
oh, it's just fallout, it's normal.
That's just how reality is, you know.
It's more like a comprehension. It's just how reality is. It's more like
a comprehension.
It's really what infrared is.
When you think all this, like this whole vibes
based way of thinking and
everything that you're used to
within the infrared community, like that
is really what it is
you know like remember them
the mecha tanky shit like that
we are on a type of
wavelength which is like
does have room for dreams
and has room for fiction
and it has room for things that are not directly just
pretending to be like naive realism right but we're not nihilistic that about reality we're not
dogmatic about reality but we're not nihilistic about it either, right?
And, and you know, the thing about narrative naive realism is that's exactly what happened with the Russian
SMO with, with the Ukraine supporters. Ukraine supporters went from being narrative nihilists, to, oh, my God, this is directly
Harry Potter and Star Wars.
It's going on, and they went and signed up to go fight for the Azlov Battalion, because they
became psychotic autistics.
They took,
they before were narrative nihilists,
and they're like,
oh my God,
Star Wars is now happening in real life.
So they became narrative,
naive realists,
dogmatically and fanatically
supporting Zelensky
and Ukraine,
on the basis that this is
the reality of the narrative. Like, it's actually happening.
That's why Lib Tarts, they go from narrative naive realism to narrative, sorry, they go from
narrative nihilism to narrative naive realism, right?
So narrative nihilism is like, okay, and there's no metanarrows, whatever.
But then Trump gets elected, and it's like, we are the resistance.
We're going to larp on the street and pretend like we're in a movie
and it's
handmade and stale
and that's
there's no difference between that
and the autistic kid at school
who's pretending to be an anime character. The liberals
that are pretending to be the Handmaid's Tale, there's no difference between that. It's the same thing.
It's the same thing. Now, I'm not saying that even to degrade or insult. I'm not saying that
even to degrade or in salt
I'm just saying it is the same
way of reconciling
the narrative structure of reality
right
and let me show you dialectically.
This is the final thing I say.
This is my favorite stream I've done in weeks.
This will be the final thing I say.
It is precisely
the transition between
narrative nihilism
to narrative naive realism
that ends up
debunking the
metaphysics of Western liberalism.
All the metaphysics of Western liberalism. All Hollywood movies, TV shows, and video games give expression to the specific metaphysics of Western liberalism through narrative nihilism itself.
So you will find themes of subjectivism and volunteerism and individualism,
so on and so on, reflected in all these different movies and all this kind of stuff, right?
And then in the movie itself, they are reflecting and perpetuating the value and the worldview, the phenomenology, of narrative nihilism, of, okay, this villain thinks that they're this great ideologist, but at the end of the day, me, Ironman, and Captain America, we're just having Chihuaharma and Chihuah
in the New York ruins.
It's just a blank
desolate,
you know,
neutral reality.
HBO Chernobyl,
for example.
There's this
ideological veneer of Soviet power, but it's just this gloomy, gloomy, gray. I can't believe it's so gloomy. So this is the narrative nihilism, but it's precisely the dependency upon the fictional medium that disproves narrative nihilism itself.
That's the secret, ladies and gentlemen if western liberal
metaphysics was correct as a reflection of reality at the absolute horizon of truth and
reality there would not need to be a dependence upon fictional mediums that narratively give expression
to narrative nihilism itself.
We would just have narrative nihilism.
We wouldn't need video games. We wouldn't need
these movies. Whatever, right? It's the very dependency on this that proves the partiality and
meaningfulness of the metaphysical. In other words, metaphysics,
the realm of metaphysics,
I mean,
putting that in quotations,
it is charged with meaning.
It is inherently charged,
like a subatomic particle.
It's charged in a certain direction.
It has a specific meaningfulness.
It's not just a nothingness, a desolate nothingness devoid of the dimension of truth and meaning and all the values we hold dear.
These things that we regard is exclusive to the
individual subject
meaning, truth, justice,
so on. These do not
exist within an individual's
mind within the subject. They are
out there. They are real.
Something that reflects real
principles within reality itself.
And
Harry Potter Zelensky proves that
fact.
Harry
Potter Zelensky proves pooing. Harry Harry Potter
Zelensky
proves Putin correct
Putin is justified
you can take away
this whole lecture take this away
Putin's actions in the
SMO find confirmation and are justified precisely by the meme where Zelensky is the blue
avatar guy. That is exactly why the SMO is justified.
And then someone will say, oh, why is it?
Because you're saying Zelensky and the Ukraine supporters are so cringe.
And then I'll say, yes, but more importantly, because it proves that meta-narratives are back, that the metaphysics of Western liberalism upon which the project of recent modern Ukrainian national independence is founded is a lie. That actual reality itself depends upon the structure of fiction it depends upon the
structure of a narrative human narrative and um the very opposition to Russia proves that fact.
So when Putin on 22 February 22, when he talked about his narrative of Russian history, why his actions were justified, that was not a falsehood. That was not fake.
He was giving authentic expression to something very real, very real Russian
was justified.
Because if...
If Zelensky has to be fucking Harry Potter,
if he has to be fucking Luke Skywalker,
then clearly...
There's a dependency on a specific notion of ontology that is not just seamlessly
directly reality itself therefore russian ontology is also uh finds justification therefore
multipolarity therefore putin Putin is correct. How simple is that?
This is dialectics, guys. Very simple. Harry Potter Zelensky justifies Putin. It's it. That's it.
Anyway, guys, I love this stream today. It's a really good stream.
Let me toot my own horn and say that.
It was a really great stream.
I had a lot of fun.
And I enjoyed it
greatly.
But I'm very hungry, so I'm going to eat.
So I'll be leaving now.
I'll see you guys tomorrow for Confirm the Chairman.
Bye-bye.
