THE OPPS RUNNING SCARED

What's going on?

William Jennings with the four.

What's up, bro?

Steven with the five.

Corvid, what's going on, bro?

I see you, bro.

What's going on?

What's going on?

What the fuck is up, everybody?

Welcome to another episode of the Infrared Broadcast.

The Infrared Webcast.

We have a lot to talk about today, okay?

We have a lot of serious things to talk about.

Holy fuck, I'm about to sneeze.

Okay, first of all.

We need to talk about something really controversial.

This is like of the order of least importance, right?

I'm going to continue talking about things in their order of importance.

We're going to start with the least importance.

Appalachian, what's going on, brother?

I appreciate you so much.

What up, bro?

So, I want to talk about my most reactionary post in the history of anything that I've ever posted, which was actually about.

Generative AI chatbots like ChatGBT, Grok and yada yada, and I basically said I'm fucking sick of them and they're making society retarded at all levels.

It's actually my most reactionary tweet that I've ever devised or created in my life, actually.

Because typically speaking, we are pro-AI.

We want to integrate AI and we don't want to be coping and resisting technology and yearning for a return to the past.

Middle Age, what's going on, bro?

Appreciate you.

That's what I like to see, y'all.

We're close to 1,000.

We're close to 1,000.

Remember that.

We're not far.

Anyway.

You know, there's typically I'm I'm just gonna be on some real shit, right?

There's typically a thing where there's new technology and the move the move becomes like, oh, I I miss the eighties.

I miss how shit was when it was you know, when when and I'm so cool 'cause I'm just so cool 'cause I'm just fucking different and it's like shut the fuck up.

That the whole point of it is to like signal that you're like an authentic, cool person.

Because I'm just like totally like, I'm too cool for like technology, man.

And I totally do not fuck with that at all.

All right.

And it's more so like I was thinking like I've been writing shit, some important shit, by the way, I've been writing.

And it's like, I realize that what I am writing is so adapted to the age that we're living in because I am dismantling conceptual idealism and talking about more fundamental forms rather than ideation that precede ideation.

And it's like this kind of theory that I'm writing itself.

Makes sense for the era that we're living in a lot.

And it's like totally in tune with the times.

And that's great.

We always have to be in the right tune where we're being totally honest and authentic about the era that we're living in.

Like, sorry, your fucking sense of authenticity is totally fake.

You're not a unique individual.

Your thoughts aren't quite unique.

Your stupid art and your output, literary output is not unique.

You're not as smart as you think you are.

And, you know, the awkward, bad things about the rise of technology have a way of revealing truths about our society, right?

I'll take AI for an example, generative AI, if you will.

It is really just synthesizing the sum total of what we are already responsible for.

Yeah, sure, they control it in all these kinds of different ways and they regulate it in different ways, but we get what we fucking pay for.

It's like we get the shit that we deserve at the end of the day.

And there's no getting around that.

There's no getting around the fact that I 'cause I'm super conflicted about this position, if I'm being totally honest.

Like, what I mean by that is stay with me.

What I mean by that is

I think about sometimes before the age of AI where like I would have to fucking like just do the bare minimum of like telling people how shit is at the surface level.

Like no motherf like that stupid retard who's now attacking us

I don't even know who this is some retarded Gen X woman.

She's like attacking us.

Anyway, I saw a clip that Darg posted where she's like, Marxism, Leninism means that they hate the Stalinists.

They're the ones who like Trotsky.

And it's like, on some real shit, like, I do kind of appreciate how AI, you could just ask Grok or Chad GBT.

And they'll fucking tell you straight what the truth is.

Like, surface-level associations.

It is helping people get those.

Like, somebody might be like, it's like Patrick, who's like, is mayonnaise an instrument?

Like, yeah, we have ChatGBT to teach the dumb fucks that mayonnaise isn't a fucking instrument, right?

And so to that extent, I appreciate not having, it is, like, it does help not having to go through the rudiments of educating people about established conventional views about things.

Because, you know, this is where things get a little interesting.

There's different types of education, right?

There's education about the nature of reality, like science, right?

And then there's education about what do the established powers and institutions and the big other, what does that say about reality?

Like, forget about what the truth is.

What is a commonly accepted understanding of what the truth is among like credible institutions, right?

And it's really hard to educate people about both of those things simultaneously.

And AI allows the second thing to just be totally like.

They can get it.

Like, you just fucking ask Grok.

Grok will fucking tell you mayonnaise isn't a fucking instrument, you know?

Like, basic surface-level shit about what our so far conventionally established associations and beliefs about shit is, such that it puts the burden and it puts the onus on dissidents like myself and skeptics like myself to actually be like, okay, they say these things, they say these things, but here's the actual truth.

Because let me tell you why.

You know what type of misinformation I don't appreciate?

I don't appreciate the one where motherfuckers are just like lying about what the scientists are saying.

Like, I'll see a TikTok and some dude be like, Scientists just said that Agatha is beneath the pyramids and there's frequencies and radio and it's like

Let's forget about the question of whether the scientists are correct.

I don't worship scientists, you know.

Don't fucking be lying on their name though and making it seem like your bullshit is backed up by the bullshit ruling us.

See, I, you know, I feel like we represent a much more revolutionary position where we are saying the scientists are full of shit.

That's where that's where we're so powerful.

But motherfuckers are out here on TikTok sit they're claiming, they're like, the Guardian just posted an article that beneath the pyramids.

There's a big thing awakening and it's like

They didn't, though, you know?

And AI kind of teaches you how to know what they are saying or what they think or what they want you to think, right?

And I like that.

I like that it skips the whole bullshit process of why the fuck is the chat frozen?

I hope it's because this isn't broken.

Is this broken?

Fuck.

Ones.

Oh, yeah, we're good.

We're good.

We're good.

All right.

Slow down.

All right.

No, no, it's okay, it's okay.

I thought the stream was fucked.

Alright anyway, look.

Um

Yeah, the it's like

There's people sometimes try to make their ideas seem more credible by saying like the science agrees with me.

Whereas we are here saying the science is bullshit and we think for ourselves.

I don't care what people who have PhDs say.

This is this is through my use of reasoning and through my our ability to synthesize actual data and information that we're presented with, we can draw completely different conclusions.

Cash, what's going on, bro?

We have the right to question what they are saying.

In order to have that critical capacity, you absolutely do need to know what they think and what they're saying and stuff.

And a lot of people just are not educated in for what's up at that level.

Like, for example,

I had a primary education and I also had a secondary education.

So I know what institutions think on some level.

I know how they think.

And I know what to expect from.

Even if I didn't have those education, I spent a lot of years of my life reading scientific papers, reading what these people are writing, reading what they read, what they say, what's accepted among them, what are the red lines, what aren't, the philosophical paradigms that they're getting this shit from.

Um, and and and stuff like that, right?

And a lot of people just are not exposed to that, so yeah, I mean, look, in a sense, AI is nice that it's skipping a process of just like people, you know, I feel like a lot of people are becoming conscious because of AI.

Like, before AI, they didn't they just weren't thinking at all, right?

Now that there's Chat GBT, they could straight up like ask questions.

And they will get responses that are not necessarily true, but more often than not.

Do reflect what they up there think and are saying, and a lot of people just did not have access to that for a long time.

Now, on to the bad part, okay.

So, I'm not totally here to like say, oh, we should get rid of AI chatbots, but here's the fucking problem.

Okay, the problem is, first of all, people confuse this for truth.

They see AI as like a magic ball, and it's like it's such a crazy, disgusting thing, actually, because they like they see it as like an oh, what is the Oracle saying?

What is Grok say, oh my god, Chat GBT said it, it must be true.

It's like that's extremely fucking like making people retarded and unable to think critically, okay?

First of all, um, and then, second of all, then there's the problem of the second thing, I'm gonna like rank these in order, I guess.

The second thing.

I do not fuck with about AI is the fact that it

Um

It is

It's like diarrhea like

fucking splattered all over the fucking place on X.

It's like fucking just like it's so bad.

It's like

I cannot

I'm there's so much junk noise 'cause of that bullshit.

And it's like Mario Naufall's tweets are cancer.

Every time I see them, I wanna fucking shoot myself.

Uh Mario Nauffal's tweets are the most like disgusting, depressing

Like absolute diarrhea shit.

Like using ChatGBT to post yourself.

And write your tweets and stuff.

It's like it's a red line.

I don't wanna read I don't wanna read a diarrhea flood of just nonsense.

Um

And it is just totally fucking disgusting.

And there's the bot problem and then there's like the at Grok Why don't you fucking ask Grok in the fucking dedicated fucking ch f uh chat section on X?

Stop fucking replying me tagging Grok.

You don't have to you what what kind of retard tags Grok in a post when you can directly click the fucking Grok button and in a live way just ask them there who i whoever is tagging grok is a fucking retard and i hate them

End of story, okay.

And then it's the annoyance factor that that really gets me that I don't like, and uh, and I fucking hate it, okay.

Then the third thing is like the biggest gripe that I have with it.

Fuck, my nose is running.

Give me a second.

You second.

A long fucking time since

Stupid.

Fucking bullshit.

Anyway.

Yeah.

Anyway.

The other thing I just took a really hot shower, by the way.

The other thing that I fucking hate about AI, frankly speaking, about uh ChatGBT and the chatbots, is I hate their literary style and I hate their tone.

I think that that is my red line.

My red line is that they're trained on Reddit.

I can hear them.

I can hear their their tone of voice when they're writing.

And it is written to be so palatable and so appeasing to you to a consumer that I want to take a fucking sledgehammer and bash my screen every time I have to read a disgusting diarrhea word vomit literary it's so fucking ugly it's so fucking ugly

And I realized something.

If they made these chatbots type in a tone.

That was completely robotic and completely formal and mechanical.

That sounds like a scientific paper.

I would fuck with them.

If it was no bullshit letter of the law, completely technical, I would actually be like, I fuck with this.

This is cool.

This is such a cool tool.

But the way that it tries to sound so familiar, let me use this as an opportunity to introduce to you guys a complicated concept that comes from French schizo theory.

Literally, right?

Deleuze, he had this idea of deterritorialization and re-territorialization, right?

Deterritorialization, I'm just gonna like simplify it for you.

It's like the revolutionary thing.

It's kind of like all that is solid melts into air.

It's kind of breaking shit up that you didn't think could be broken up before.

It's a kind of, it's, it's, it's, um,

It's

Giving way to a kind of new dimensionality of experience that you didn't think was before possible, but you had always taken for granted, but is now being modulated in ways that you did not think was possible before, proving that it was more elastic and modular than it was before.

And, like, that's AI.

AI is taking something we always thought was sacrosan, which is the ability to synthesize information.

We always thought that was a uniquely individual thing that we do with our brains, right?

And then AI is here proving that, you know, actually, no, that this is something that can be made systematized, it can be made artificial, and therefore it is no longer like this site of absolute human authenticity or whatever, right?

And okay, so AI did that, but then it gets re-territorialized.

So they say every re every deterritorialization is a re-territorialization.

Where the the revolutionary significance of the deterritorialization, we basically get gaslit, it gets lost on us, and this thing that used to be profoundly disturbing and disorienting to us

Is made familiar and it's kind of uncanny.

So, for example, think about how, you know.

Oh, I don't know.

A new technology has so much potential and so much possibility, but it's used to basically appease the very familial sensibilities that it disproved or it it um

It proved we're inauthentic.

If you want to think about it from the perspective of authenticity, we have certain sensibilities that are rooted in a specific

experience of what the real world is.

Well, the real world develops in a way that disturbs these sensibilities.

And the very thing that disturbs our sensibilities is then used to um

pacify us and make us even more conformist and complacent and comfortable with those very same sensibilities.

Like for example, look at how look at you guys see that fucking eighties video on um X where they're like the eighties miss you and it's like it's extremely abstract, sophisticated technology is being used to what?

Evoke and

elicit these sterile, nostalgic sensibilities for a bygone era.

So it's kind of like re-territorialization.

If y I don't know, it's not the best it's not the best introduction to that concept that I could give, to be completely honest, but it's good i'll do, right?

So you have this like ability to synthesize information that we're getting from the chat bots and basically it's being used to what?

It's being used to

Pretend to be a human being.

Why do you have to pretend to be another human being?

When you have proven to be something objectively more advanced than an individual human being, why do you have to then pretend that you're our pal and you're our friend?

Why does Chat GPT have to fucking pretend to be our friend and appease our feelings and be comfortable to us?

Why shouldn't we adjust to this new technology?

Like, ChatGPT should be very cold, technical, and like.

A no bullshit, like actual objective information, right?

That's how it should be, and we should be the ones to adapt to it.

That's that's what it means to have an authentic relationship to technology.

No bullshit.

This is what it is, this is what it does, no bullshit.

But instead, Chat GPT has to pander to our feelings and pretend like it's a person and make itself familiar to us.

And what's scary about that's what's scary.

That's what I find scary about technology.

The scary thing about technology is not what makes it alienating and alien.

You know, Mark said, nothing human is alien to me.

Anything that's alienating, we should adapt to it.

That's how we humanize it.

We adapt.

That's what makes us human, our ability to change, right?

But when this technology is used to reproduce the same outdated sensibilities and basically baby us 'cause we get traumatized by this new technology, we g it it scares us and it disturbs us.

So to mitigate that, they treat us like infants and be like, No, don't worry, I'm harmless.

And that's why I hate AI critics.

Because critics of AI are basically saying.

At the end of the day, what critics of AI are saying is that they're saying, um.

You know, don't worry.

Uh, sorry, they're saying this is really scary and dangerous.

And it's it's that very fear-mongering that leads these tech companies to actually make it scary and dangerous by making people blind to what the technology actually is and like making it seem like it's a replacement for social interaction and making it into a human and humanizing it and shit.

So, like, that's that's kind of my take on it, you know.

Like, my take on it is: I believe in technological realism.

I like that word, technological realism.

No matter how scary and disturbing and brutal technology is, we should be up to the task of adapting to it, not the reverse.

It shouldn't adapt to our sensibilities.

You know, the whims and fancies of consumers and what makes consumers comfortable.

That's exactly what the Grouper political movement is based on.

It's based on the familiar, wholesome, chungous sensibilities of the consumer.

Because what does the consumer want?

The consumer wants to be appeased.

They want to be babied.

They want their chalky milk and chicken nuggies.

And you know, the Jews are preventing us from having the video games and from having the whatever movies and from living the wholesome chungus life.

And that the only problem is the Jews who are stopping us from consuming and consuming.

And I totally reject that.

We as a movement have to totally reject the consumerist sensibility in general, which treats it as sacrosan.

Okay, what am I fucking viral for in a lot of ways?

I'm viral for the fucking Mickey Mouse massacre.

I'm viral for my fucking posts about the time of cruel awakening.

The time of cruel awakening is now, okay?

Straight up, think about what makes us a movement in contrast to all the others.

We are the actual anti-consumers, we're not against consumption.

per se, consuming is fine.

But turning consumption into the ultimate principle is the problem.

We don't believe in consumption as a principle.

We believe in consumption as

A norm, and that's fine, but we don't believe in passive consumption.

We don't raise that to the dignity of a governing principle.

Any governing principle, whether it's your personal life, whether it's a political movement, has to profoundly awaken you and shock you into action.

It has to be profoundly discontinuous with your experience.

It has to be profoundly discontinuous with your sensibilities.

And it has to take you out of your comfort zone.

You can't treat your preferences as a consumer as sacrosanct and just fucking assume that those are that that's like there's some ultimate principle that justifies those, right?

So like

Yeah, we are f we are the fucking ones that are like

Actually, transcending consumerism when you fucking think about it.

We're not saying the problem is consumption in and of itself, the problem.

is the inability to to comprehend

The more ch transcendent principles that inframe your preferences and desires as a consumer.

You know, I want to actually talk about this.

Nice wall carpet.

If you think my wall carpet is nice, drop 10 subs.

Don't fucking compliment my carpet for free.

The fuck are you talking about?

Anyway, to continue being crazy.

Continue being crazy and crabbing it up.

I want to talk about this because we're going through a cultural revolution as infrared right now, more or less, right?

We're unleashing our cultural vibe shift.

I want to talk about the relationship between like consumption, art, and politics.

Because leftists oftentimes be like, oh, art is political.

And you need to understand the vibe shift that we're on.

It's so crazy.

It's so unique.

There we go.

There we go.

Australistani pulling through with the 25.

What's going on, Australia?

We're crabbing it up.

You know what I mean?

At the end of the day, you know what I mean?

We're crabbing it up.

I'm a grifter, y'all.

I'm a grifter.

I'm only in it for money.

Sorry.

But that's what they say about me.

Let me continue.

Astra Stani, thank you for the 25.

Uh, so I could spend it on video games and and chalky milk and consume.

Anyway, nah, not some real shit, y'all.

Not some real shit, y'all.

Y'all know I put everything back.

Y'all know I spend everything back into this shit.

And you know what?

This is another part of the vibe shift.

I want you guys to know something about Hazal Din.

I am not Jesus Christ.

I'm not here claiming that I'm sacrificing anything actually in the sense of because you know what?

I would not trade my life for the fucking world.

Am I broke and do I spend every fucking dime that I have on this movement and this cause?

Yes, I do.

But guess what, motherfucker?

I enjoy it.

I roll with this shit.

This is what I am.

I could not think of an alternative.

There is no timeline.

In which I am not giving my all for this cause.

There is no fucking time load.

Let's go, pro, what's up?

I'm not Jesus Christ.

Don't feel bad for me.

Feel bad for the motherfucker that wakes up every single day, doesn't have a cause.

I would not trade this life for anything in the fucking world.

End of story

Anyway, let me continue.

As I was saying, the whole question of how can we enjoy culture given our political duties and principles?

That's the crux of what distinguishes us from leftists at the end of the day when you think about it.

Our main differences with the culture war when it comes to leftists, is it because we are out here grandstanding on a totally contrasting principle of traditionalism versus because look, you know, we don't really give a fuck about that in the terms of like

Like, you know, um I'm gonna be honest, like

You know, like a woman who's like bisexual or whatever, like, I don't even bat an eye.

I'm like, whatever, you know?

Like, I d what she's got blue hair and shit, like, I don't give a fuck.

Who gives anyone who's like out here

In a serious way, and not as like a joke, but like as a serious way he's like

What you're doing is wrong.

It's like what the fuck?

That's weird, right?

So anyway, like, we don't give a fuck about that.

So people who say you know, our Wikipedia says that we're socially conservative, but like in what way are we socially conservative, you know?

Um, if we are?

Like, why do they accuse us of that?

You know?

And you gotta start thinking about it.

And I'll tell you how I think about it.

I'll tell you how I make sense of it.

The reason they call us socially conservative is very simple.

Because we believe

in just authentic experiences of culture that are not

Premised by woke scolding or political correctness.

That's what it fucking is.

We believe in saying retard and anyone who bitches about it say, shut the fuck up, bitch.

You're a retard.

Like, we believe in that.

Like, we believe in just being funny and, like, actually being cultural.

We are authentically cultural.

That's our fucking problem.

We are for the culture.

That is our fucking problem.

You know what I mean?

Like, we're not, we're not going to hold back and pull back punches because it's politically incorrect.

We're not going to like say a movie's bad because you find it problematic or something.

Even if a movie is fascistic.

In terms of its like messaging, there is a question: is this a good movie?

Does it get you thinking at least?

And so, like, there's so many different ways to think about it.

So, we have a totally different relationship to the expression and production of culture that is totally against political correctness and it's totally against this what I would call political reductionism.

Political reductionism is the very shit where you would be sitting in a meeting and you would just be like, Yeah, that shit was so funny.

I mean, that dude's the man.

And then somebody will walk in and be like, The man?

The patriarchal dynamics of your language?

That's the shit we don't fuck with.

That's what makes us conservative because we tell those people to shut the fuck up.

Like it's not because we are so adamant and strongly opposed.

to like, you know, um

We're not opposed to like women voting or like we don't care about any of that.

It's just like

This thing about trying to meticulously reduce every experience and expression of culture to a political agenda to reduce it to that, that's what we don't fuck with.

And that's exactly why they call us conservative.

We don't agree with their attempt to just inauthentically, like, that's all the political correctness is.

Like, oh, you know what?

I used to tell these funny jokes, but I don't anymore because I understand that they're politically problematic.

Now, it's like, no, motherfucker, if a joke is funny, tell the fucking joke.

End of story, right?

Ones, if you guys understand what I'm fucking talking about, right?

Ones if you understand what I'm talking about.

Ones if you get it.

Fuck, I hate repeating myself.

All right.

Anyway, if you get it, all right, good.

But then it a is a more interesting question here.

Okay?

So then somebody will come and ask me.

They'll be like, as a devil's advocate, right?

They'll be like, yo, okay, Haas.

So is there no

Relationship to be critical invest critically investigated between culture and political principles.

Like, is there any relationship at all?

Or is it just like neutral?

And if it's neutral, doesn't that make you a liberal for thinking it's neutral?

And then this is what sets us apart.

I'm about to fucking say something so fucking important that you should drop five subs.

Just be don't mind me.

I'm crabbing it up.

Anyway.

Honestly, pay attention though.

That got your attention, didn't it?

Pay attention to what I'm about to say.

This is where everything is distinct.

This is where everything becomes distinct, okay?

It becomes distinct.

This is what sets us apart.

There is a relationship between culture, whether it's art, whether it's humor, whether it's the way we hang out in a room and talk and whatever and just be normal.

There is a relationship between that and political principles.

There we go, Whitelist.

What's going on, bro?

There we go.

There we go.

What's going on?

There is a relationship between that.

But the relationship is not direct.

And what I mean by it's not direct is that

It is a systemic relationship that is such

That if you are in a frame of political consciousness, you are not actually experiencing the culture.

October, what's going on, bro?

That's what we'd like to see.

So let me elaborate on this question of directness versus indirectness of the relationship.

If I have a proper and authentic vision in terms of my principles, then I will naturally and organically and seamlessly reflect that in my cultural expression.

My humor is going to reflect that.

How I behave and interact with other people is going to reflect that.

The art that I produce is going to reflect that.

The art that I consume in the movies that I like will probably reflect and be related to that.

But it will not be directly the same as that.

It won't directly be that in terms of its identity.

There has to be a discontinuity in order for politics and culture to interact.

If there's no discontinuity, there's no interaction.

The key word is interaction.

If there's interaction, there has to be two different terms or at least two dimensions, right?

Politics and culture interact, but if they were the same thing, there would not be interactivity.

There would just be a flat continuity between them.

And there clearly isn't.

Okay.

Political art or political.

Political music, for example, will never be as poppin' and it will never go as hard as just fucking music as such.

Because music as such, although it interacts with politics, is not the same as politics.

Religion interacts with art.

Absolutely it does.

But tell me what's more fucking cringe than a pastor with a sideways hat and he's going, and that's why Jesus Christ is my.

I didn't get the N-word pass yet, so I'm not gonna say shit, but you understand, right?

Um

You understand?

Like you understand like

Nothing is more cringe than that, because this person is trying to make religion and music the same fucking thing, but they're not the same.

You have to respect a discontinuity in the forms of activity, or at least in the the relationship between the principle and the activity in order to actually explore the relationship.

You can't explore the relationship between transcendent principles and um

You know, more immediate and sensuous and corporeal forms of artistic expression, you can't explore that relationship unless you accept there is a gap that separates them, an irreducible gap, you know?

And no, partisan, I don't mean everything has its place.

That's not what I'm trying to say.

I'm trying to talk about what actual relationship does politics have to culture?

Because there is a relationship.

It's not that you have to say everything has its place, it's more like.

How how do you understand the relationship?

Because a lot of people have this idea that the relationship is direct, and that's why DSA people are fucking vibe killers.

They're vibe killers.

Because when we are all together in a room, let's say we're all being insensitive and we're saying things that reflect the patriarchy and and uh

racism and transphobia.

Don't fucking attack

The way in which we're reflecting.

That's not how you're going to inspire in us a different principle.

You're not going to do that by shooting the messenger, okay?

In this sense, it is material, okay?

Culture is material.

You can't just fucking whimsically and subjectively re-engineer it based on your morals and values and principles.

But

If you can inspire

An alternative principle that is holistic enough, that is compelling enough.

If you could do that authentically, you will inspire us to reflect that in our form of culture.

Like, straight up, the infrared community doesn't have the same sense of humor as Groipers, and it's not because we are scolding people, it's just like we don't find it funny.

We don't think it's funny to like have memes where like a black guy is being hung, or like, you know, um, we don't even find the memes of like.

The trans suicide shit to be funny, we just like don't think it's funny.

It's not because, like.

It's not because that like offends us or makes us deeply uncomfortable, it's just like that's not

We don't really have a response.

It's like, it's just kind of weird.

You know, we just kind of see it as a little strange.

Um, their like shock, edgy humor is like not our vibe.

But that's not because.

Of any political superego, it's just because it's not our vibe authentically because we don't fuck with it in a really organic and authentic way.

But take leftists, a lot of leftists probably with gore and like Hitler furry porn and all this crazy shit, but they suppress it because of their political superego because they don't want to be canceled.

Well, we don't fucking care about being canceled or not, we just kind of don't fuck with certain things because we do have principles as a community, it's just that we don't force those principles in an inorganic or inauthentic way.

We don't force them on ourselves because most of you guys are here because you fuck with the vision and actually believe in it.

And you're not being guilted for being infidels or disbelievers if you are expressing other ways of enjoying or expressing culture.

It's just kind of like.

You either do or you don't.

And if you don't, that's fine.

But like, you know.

So you see, like, there's something profoundly different about our attitude toward culture, where we do understand that consumption is political.

We do understand that it has a relationship to principles.

But we also don't reduce it to those principles, and we understand there's an irreducible gap between them that makes their relationship an interactive one.

And that's why we're not groipers.

That's why we're not an ideology of consumers.

And the ideology of consumerism does not even acknowledge that discontinuity.

The ideology of consumerism basically says: whatever we enjoy consuming is the truth, that's all there is.

And there are no transcendent principles that have any relationship toward that whatsoever.

Um

It's just the uh the immediate object of consumption.

And when that object of consumption becomes edgy

Initially funny but then edgy and then eventually compelling political ideologies, it's just another object of consumption.

The Hitler hyperborea edits are fucking objects of consumption, absolutely they are.

They don't f they don't like us because we impose we do impose a critical gap between culture and the more transcendent governing principles behind it.

And leftists also do that.

But leftists

While imposing that gap, collapse the distinction between the two and thereby do not allow culture to be experienced authentically.

And that is the issue.

And I want s this is a message for anyone who wants to criticize us on questions of culture.

Our problem is about authentically experiencing culture and having the space to do that.

versus paranoially reducing every form of culture and behavior, including using slurs and telling bad jokes, to problematic poli uh and opposing political principles.

By effecting that reduction, you are not leaving breathing room for culture

To even interact with politics, you're just collapsing the distinction, and we fully fucking reject that.

We fully reject that.

And if this doesn't make any sense to you, let me fucking draw a comparison that should make sense, okay?

China.

Because guess what country had a cultural revolution and was literally actively and in practice dealing with this same fucking issue?

Okay, it was China.

China was the country that was dealing with this very same issue in practice.

Okay, it had a whole cultural revolution.

And in China,

They had to resolve the question of how to be faithful politically to the proletarian dictatorship at the level of culture.

And it all began from operas, disputes over how operas and uh

Ways should be, right?

But China goes through an experience which gives it a lot of implicit wisdom on this question, which people to this day still don't quite appreciate.

It China applied the wisdom and logic that it learned from the Cultural Revolution to

The very understanding the Communist Party has to economic development.

For the Chinese, politics and economics, in the same way that I talked about culture, they're not the same thing.

There is a relationship.

There are governing principles to the development of economies.

But you cannot reduce economies to your political comprehension of those principles.

You have to have breathing room for the economy to be an economy, in order to even discover or comprehend correctly the governing historical principles that compel its development.

So for China, the reform and opening up, what was it opening up?

A lot of people have a wrong idea of the opening up.

They have the paradigm or the the they have the um

They have the metaphor of a wall.

China's a wall, and it's opening the wall, and the west can charge in and breach in.

That's not really what the opening up means, as far as I understand it.

The opening up.

Is opening up breathing room.

Where before there was suffocation, now there is a breathing room.

Now there is space for the authentic development and fertile development of activity that previously could not even be properly observed or comprehended or anything because it was being reduced to more transcendent principles, whether they're political or ideological or something else.

So there wasn't even the breathing room that they had in order to discover or understand the relationship between the economic, the political, the ideological, and so on and so on, and the cultural, right?

So in the same way, infrared represents a reform and opening up within the Western left where we want breathing room.

That's why when I first launched the infrared community, we didn't have any censorship.

We didn't care.

We didn't care besides like the obviously we banned all sexual stuff, but like we didn't have political censorship, okay?

And as such, people, if you tolerate this within your community, that's no, the whole point is we want people to be authentic about what they actually fucking believe and what they actually think is funny and what they actually whatever.

In order for that context to be created, so that we can even discover what.

Relationship those have to political principles and ideological principles.

If you don't have an irreducible gap between those things, you don't have culture.

You don't have your own culture.

You don't have your own subculture.

You don't have your own fucking memes.

Everyone asks the question: why does the left suck at memes compared to the right?

And I can actually answer that question super easily.

Leftists suck at making memes because they don't have there's no such thing as leftist culture.

Leftists don't believe culture exists.

They reduce it to politics.

And that's a generous interpretation, but they reduce it to that.

And by reducing it to the political, they don't open up the breathing room for culture to.

Develop and be cultivated as something distinct yet interactive and related to the political, right?

And that's why they can't make memes.

Whereas right-wing memes.

Those are just the most advanced.

Those are just the current culture.

That's all they are.

All right-wing memes are current.

They're just the most advanced, distilled, you know, transmission of cultural information that we experience spontaneously as a society.

Right wing memes don't have to provoke an entirely new type of consciousness or anything, um even though they are objectively doing that now.

But the reason is because

They are cultural.

They they actually are embedded in the culture.

But leftist memes

Don't recognize culture exists.

They don't recognize that something is separate, right?

So.

That's why they lose the meme war, you know?

They lose the fucking meme war because memes are the trans are transmission of cultural information.

Now, how can we actually make successful left-wing or communist memes?

I mean, the infrared community has already done it, but like, how do you actually fucking do it?

Well, first of all, you accept and recognize

That there is an objective material reality of culture.

This is what makes us conservative, apparently, right?

And once you recognize that, you discover the relationship it has.

To this is kind of what infrared does.

I'm not gonna like over-exaggerate how important this is, but like, I'll give you an example.

Let's say I watch a fucking movie and it's like, oh my god, you know, on a subtle, like if you do a Zhizekian analysis, on a subtle level, there is a profoundly revolutionary significance to this movie.

Like, look at how Infrared draws together all these different, like, the Terminator, fucking Death Stranding, like, like, Metal Gear Solid.

you know, uh, Predator.

I don't know, like

We do we do do that, you know, and

You take that.

And

You discover undiscovered latent

Untapped like principles that are compelling this form of cultural expression, and you distill it and you hone in on it and focus on it.

And that's how you make a left-wing meme.

Like, take the gorillas and sons.

Is there anything explicitly political about gorillas and sons?

Is there anything explicitly political about fucking gorillas?

No.

But you can discover memes.

Memes are discovered, not invented.

I totally believe that.

You can discover memes by discovering the interactive association.

Between different signifiers, right, that were that are previously not being acknowledged.

Like, Zizek kind of does this all the time in his like breakdown of movies and whatever.

And that's why he's so popular, I think.

But, like, you have to understand there are hidden, unex there are left-wing symptoms within our society.

Let me put it that way.

Within our society, within our current culture, not all of it, in contrast to what leftists tell you, exists to reproduce the patriarchal capitalist.

No, there are symptoms of untapped, undeveloped, and unexplored forms of revolutionary consciousness that do manifest spontaneously within our culture.

And you guys know exactly what I'm talking about: conspiracy theories that just take hold within our culture.

Sometimes these are just like accidentally based all the fucking time.

Like, shit is accidentally based all the fucking time.

The Dark Knight Rises, like, the way it depicts like a revolutionary event, like with Bane, it's just accidentally based all the fucking time.

It's like in our society.

There are all sorts of ways.

Yeah, Oliver Anthony, sure, why not?

It's always happening in society.

Like, even hip-hop culture, it was like fucking happening a lot, you know?

Um and it was never like explored or developed or tapped into because it was never explicitly Marxist or explicitly leftist or explicitly like paying tithes to to a specific institutionalized ideology.

So it was dismissed.

And you wonder why leftists are losing the culture war and they're losing the meme wars?

Well, because they have an attitude and they have a relationship to culture that makes them blind to fucking culture itself.

Okay, yeah, like Joker, whatever you want to fucking say, like Joker was taken by the right.

Why was it taken by the right?

Because leftists don't acknowledge culture exists.

If it's not explicitly fucking giving its pronouns, leftists will say it's right-wing and it's reactionary.

And why?

Because of the disgusting legacy of the Frankfurt School.

Which says that all culture within our society exists to reproduce fascism and capitalism, which is not true.

A lot of our culture bears within it accidentally based gems and symptoms of an unheard, undeveloped, and unrecognized revolutionary consciousness.

Plenty of things within our culture have immense revolutionary potential.

But they're not being tapped in.

They're not being recognized because they are cultural rather than explicitly political, right?

So it's like that is what makes us distinct.

That's why we get called socially conservative.

Because we recognize culture is objective and material.

No, that doesn't mean it doesn't change.

It just means it doesn't change at the pace of the whims and fancies of consciousness.

It changes in a way.

That obeys a logic of culture.

It has a cultural logic.

It doesn't have a directly political logic.

The logic of politics is I have the will and I'm going to do it.

The logic of culture is not that.

The culture is a way of experiencing reality and giving expression to it, okay?

Consuming or expressing.

Something like that.

Like, that's where culture is.

And that is not something that's premised by political consciousness by itself.

Okay.

Now, what I fucking hate is the form of cultural analysis that leftists partake in, which is just reduced to metaphor.

Okay.

Look at that.

That's why they're popular with Andor.

Oh, they're the review, they're the revolutionary.

It's like that's so fucking obvious.

Can you name a single other motherfucker besides me who can actually distill the revolutionary significance of Twin Peaks?

And like shit that just like doesn't seem like it has any political significance at all, because it's not metaphorically structured in a political way.

It's not using allegories and metaphors that are just so overtly and explicitly political.

Like, leftist cultural analysis is just allegory and metaphor.

Those are the only literary devices they know exist.

So they're like, oh, so in this movie, this guy's the Karl Marx, and this guy's the dictator, and this guy's the capitalist, and these are the workers, and it basically what's going on.

It's like, that's such a stupid fucking way of interpreting art and culture.

It's such a stupid, fucking retarded way of doing it.

It's disgusting.

Just metaphor and allegory and nothing else, right?

It's so fucking stupid.

What about how this expresses our more fundamental relationship to language and meaning and how we experience reality and and I don't know fucking how how does I d and there's so many different dimensions of art to to explore in terms of like

understanding its actual historical and existential significance, but like they just reduce it to allegory and metaphor and then that's it.

There are plenty of films and movies that are metaphorically and allegorically structured to be politically reactionary, but in terms of their actual artistic content end up being super based and super revolutionary.

You know

I'm trying to think of the last time I watched a fucking movie that I was like, wow, I approve of this so much.

Yeah, you know what?

There's so many examples.

Like.

Fucking even Conan the Barbarian.

I'm sure it's like a fucked up movie that's like probably was like made with the intention of like all these reactionary political agendas or whatever.

But it's like you know, actually, that movie is.

There there is something about that barbaric dim giving expression to this barbaric dimension of our unconscious.

That there is a lot of like raw material you could draw out of that, which could give expression to revolutionary forms of consciousness and culture, you know?

And like

Yeah, I mean there's so many fucking examples of this, it's crazy.

Um

And sometimes it's not even just about it being revolutionary.

Sometimes it's about it.

Giving you the you know what I see like every work of art you should see it as a map if it's a good work of art then it is more compre it is a more comprehensively fleshed out map of our reality political existential whatever and if it's a comprehensively fleshed out map enough You can even run counterfactuals in your head that allow you to even interpret it in such a way like how could I make this revolutionary?

See, I think about that all the time like Star Wars for example one something that's fun to do is like how could you restructure Star Wars to make it revolutionary?

What would a Soviet version of that film be?

You keep the same theme, the art direction, you keep roughly the same lore, with roughly the same lore, but roughly, I mean.

How do you turn that into something, what should happen in the movie, in the story that makes it more revolutionary, right?

And it's like there's so many examples of that and in in so many different movies and video games and you fucking name it.

And that's how you really have to move and you have to think.

You shouldn't think in terms of like, oh, I'm tainted by this.

This is totally reactionary.

I have to protect my sacred consciousness.

Like, this is how like Maoists think about shit.

Like, you should not fucking think that way.

You should think in terms of, like,

How could I fucking I enjoy shit that's oftentimes extremely politically bad and reactionary because I always like to think like I love the raw material this is giving me to imagine something different hyperstitionally.

It's giving me great raw material to even like expand upon and further.

different ways of depicting and virtually like

hyperstitionally engineering

Ways of thinking about, you know, um, our political, informational, whatever terrain, you know.

Uh I I think that there is an objectively revolutionary significance to art.

That is regardless of its overt and explicit or allegorical or metaphysical uh metaphorical uh political content.

Like, for example, you know what was revolutionary about Star Wars, like objectively?

It was like the fucking like special effects and lights and shits.

Like, whoa, this is a this is a different way of like

Um

depicting the future and like experiencing that and fucking

This full

dimensional experience of like

Being nostalgic for a world in the future, or thinking of a bizarre, strange world in the future.

I don't know, there's something like there's a full spectrum significance to that if you think about it, which is very interesting because it's depicting the future and it's also using extremely advanced means of like communicating that through sound effects, through visual effects, and

What it was really selling at the time was the special effects and how like good the production value and how advanced and avant-garde that was, right?

Like going to a movie and it's experiencing all of that, it's like, whoa, this is like from a different world or whatever.

It's like it's actually, when you think about it, it's a way of thinking about it's a way of experiencing the invasiveness of technology.

In a way that allows you to dwell in the alienation, flesh it out, and think about it.

Like, we are alienated from technology objectively.

It's happening at a level of abstraction, scale, and technical skill that is totally oblique to our immediate experiences.

Okay.

Um

You know, when you're using a computer, when you're using a smartphone, there is so much fucking bullshit that's happening.

You'll never, you're alienated from it objectively, right?

And like, Star Wars is kind of cool because it's like one of the first ways in which you can experience that in a way that has a story, a theme, and a meaning, a meaning to it.

Like, it's in a galaxy far, far away.

Like, you know, what's in a galaxy far, far, fucking away?

Like, the inside of whatever is in this fucking phone or how it's fucking working and shit.

Like, that's in a galaxy far, far away from my fucking experience, right?

So it's like, that's to me how I interpret the whole significance of that.

And in a lot of ways the sci-fi genre at large, the form and the medium and the content, there is an interactivity between them.

Uh I'm not saying Star Wars is good.

I'm just saying at the time there was a significance to that.

That's just objective.

And you know what else it's true of?

It's true of James Cameron's Avatar and like, yeah, all this shit that like becomes blockbuster and like fuck.

Um

I think that media started to become reactionary probably around the time Disney

Marvel, the Marvel cinematic universe and Disney gobbling shit up.

I think is reactionary.

I think Disney is our version of the Communist Party of China.

And I think the reason Disney's our version of that is that Disney introduces a transcendent principle of cultural production.

That

It frames our experience of

How we consume

In a way that does, in a transcendent way, obey standards, principles, and conventions, and yet it's discontinuous with it.

And it's the same thing in China.

You have the Communist Party of China, which sets the standard, it sets the principles, the values, the underlying values, but it's not direct.

Like a movie in China is not always going to directly reflect the political agenda of the Communist Party.

But the Communist Party is a kind of transcendental brand, if you want to think about it that way.

It is in framing

Give expression to this more transcendental principle of reality, which is incarnated in the Communist Party, right?

And in America, our version of that in a lot of ways, it's like Disney.

Disney is like our CPC in that way.

It's this transcendental brand that gobbles up all these other franchises and turns them into nostalgia machines.

Like, I watched the Alien series.

Recently, and I was baffled.

I was like, they're really making this like an a seventies movie.

Like, not just in terms of the set design and the pieces, but like, even the camera effects and like the sound for some reason.

It's like, this is the 70s.

This is like something straight out of the 70s, okay?

And I was like, you know, that's really disgusting how Disney's doing that.

It's really disgusting how they're like, oh, remember.

It's like the Southburgh episode of Memberberries, honestly.

But it's like, it's fucking nostalgia.

And you're dwelling in this world of nostalgia.

But, you know, the original creator Ridley Scott of Alien, he wasn't intending that.

That wasn't his intention.

When he made Alien, the first one, he wasn't trying to evoke this like transcendental feeling of nostalgia.

He was trying to be as futuristic.

And and like as faithful to like hard sci-fi as he could in terms of like set design and shit, that the time that he lived in could afford.

Like, it didn't look that way for its own sake.

It looked that way because he was trying to fucking make it like.

To the best of his ability, look like it's from the future, right?

And that's why Prometheus and Alien Covenant don't have a nostalgic vibe to them.

They are using CGI, they're using like whatever the latest way in which we can depict the future is available to us, that's what they're doing, right?

And that's why they're good films as well.

Like, they're just taking it forward objectively.

But then Disney comes and they're like, No, Prometheus and Alien Covenant, they're too different from what we all love and remember.

Remember when in the 70s that we're gonna just fucking recreate set pieces from the seventies?

It's such a betrayal of Ridley Scott's vision for what that franchise is supposed to be.

Because Ridley Scott was trying to create themes that surround questions about human existence, the future, what life actually is, um, what consciousness is,

Like, I guess ethical doubt.

You can, there's so many different ways of looking at it.

But, like, what he was not trying to do was create a safe, comfortable, familiar, and wholesome, nostalgic world that everyone is familiar and safe in.

Actually, to the contrary, he's trying to make a deeply uncomfortable, unsafe world.

That will, you know, that that it's a horror franchise, right?

But Disney takes this shit and and I'll fuck it.

I'll go ahead and say the same thing, and George Lucas agrees with me.

I don't I don't I n I never like care to get in the Star Wars discourse, but I will die on this hill.

They did the same thing with Star Wars.

Um, you know, Star Wars looked like how it did in the 80s because that was just the technology that was available to George Lucas at the time.

That's why the prequels look so fundamentally different because they're CGI, technology's advancing, and he's like using whatever's available to like flesh out this world.

He wasn't trying to create these set pieces in the 80s to be like wholesome, familiar, and like you're gonna be nostalgic about them like decades later.

Like, no, that's just the fucking best technology they had available to them at the time.

So, Disney comes and they like.

They make these like nas they make it all nostalgic and they use like practical effects.

Oh, remember how it originally was?

That's right and it's like you're totally missing the fucking point.

Like the you're totally betraying the whatever it it is.

I don't even care about Star Wars that much, but it's like I hate how Disney does this to every fucking franchise that they take over.

Um

And

That's what they're doing to Alien is something I kind of really like.

I love Ridley Scott's alien films.

Like, I'm a big fan, I guess.

And I fucking hate what Disney's doing to it.

I hate how they turn everything into a fucking nostalgia machine.

People oftentimes kind of mock.

like, oh, Disney's buying this but it doesn't look like Mickey Mouse.

Like, yeah, it does.

It's just more transcendent.

It's not explicitly Mickey Mouse.

But it it is.

It is that.

'Cause fucking what does Disney thrive on?

They thrive on nostalgia.

They thrive on movies that were created eighty years ago and constantly remaking them and shit, right?

So it's like it's a nostalgia factory and they're turning that into all these like different franchises and shit.

Um, and that's really bad, yeah.

Nostalgia fan service, that's all it is.

You know, fuck the fans and fuck nostalgia.

If you're a true artist, you're gonna fucking be faithful to your original intentions and nothing else.

None of this meta commentary on your fans and your fandom.

Okay, when you start doing that, your sh your work turns into dog shit.

And you know what?

I'm gonna actually throw some smoke, not to insult the dead, because I find that to be in bad taste.

But

You know, David Lynch kinda did that.

David Lynch kind of in Twin Peaks The Return decided to like make introduce this meta commentary on the fandom, which just shows me that you're an artist who's not confident in your work.

Oh, I have to respond to how the f no you no no you fucking don't.

Try to be faithful to the original vision for Twin Peaks that you had in the nineties and think about how time has passed since then.

And commentate upon that, like how has that principle developed?

And show us that, be faithful to it in that way.

And maybe he tried doing that in some ways, to be fair, you know.

But like whenever there's fan recognition or fan service, it's always shit.

It's like it's such a you know what other series did this, which was disgusting, was True Detective.

True Detective Season 3 was a

It was it was a response to the fan fan um

Fandom from season one.

And it was just total shit because of that.

Oh, you thought there was a satanic pedophile cult?

Turns out.

We all just need a

Focus on ourselves.

I don't fucking know, it's just s fucking stupid.

Turns out you were wrong.

Hey fans, turns out you were fucking wrong.

Like, you don't have to respond to your fans.

You can just fucking ignore them.

If you're a real if you're on some real shit, you can just ignore them.

Um, straight up.

Oh, yeah, don't get me started with Superman.

That's some demonic.

Actual demonic fucked up Hitler shit.

This new Superman movie, it's like fucking disgusting Millennial Reich propaganda.

We're gonna make it ironic and we're gonna make it shut the fuck up.

It's such it's like a meta meta meta commentary on the Superman.

Yep, we already it's just a millennial Simpsons arrogance where they're like we all know and familiar with it.

We're getting over it.

We're being ironic about it.

That's their whole fucking vibe.

Like okay, it's all over.

We already know.

There's no need to like reinvent the wheel.

We know we're just gonna be ironic about it.

And by the way, fuck all Superman, fuck Sax Snyder's films, fuck all the Cape shit.

I'm not a Cape shit defender in general.

But I especially hate this shit because it's so ugly and disgusting.

On on on the principles of art and and politics and ideology and everything.

It's disgusting.

It's disgusting even that they are

You know, Ezra made a great point where they're like, imagine if during the Holocaust, Nazi Germany made a film where it depicts itself as like the hero saving all the Jews.

It's like kinda fucked up, you know?

There's something kind of like really fucked up about that.

You know, and that's how the film seemed to treat Gaza as just what, a a a fertile ground for this fantasy of these millennial Hitler Reich people saving Gaza when they haven't done a fucking thing but vote for Zohron and vote for fucking uh Kamala and other Zionists.

Um, and my respondent goes, So, how would you make a Superman film?

I wouldn't.

I would stop making cape shit because I would stop making super anything films.

That's and maybe Batman, you know, the the new Batman was good.

I'll I'll I'll admit it, it was pretty good.

But notice that the new Batman film, like, there's no superpowers, and it's not really cape shit when you think about it.

It's kind of just like a.

It's like a fantasy detective story, I guess.

It has these ridiculous

Elements

Um

It's not about him taking on cops.

It's not about the political messaging.

It was good for reasons.

You know, Logo is someone who actually understands literature.

So, like, you guys, don't dwell in metaphor and allegory and shit.

Don't be like, oh, this is cool 'cause he said fuck the police.

It's like, no, that's not that has nothing to do with determining whether something is good or not at all.

More so, like, first of all, it's about like, is this shit good?

Like, is it just like good vibes?

All right, is this good?

Is this a well-fleshed out world and universe?

Is it, you know, does it get you thinking?

Does it get you think?

You know, art is supposed to get you thinking.

Art is supposed to be a map.

Remember, it's supposed to be a map.

Is this a good map?

Yeah, it was a pretty good map.

It's a pretty interesting map.

It's a pretty interesting map of our world, you know?

Um

Yeah, Penguin Show was good.

It was fucking good.

Yeah, so

It's not great, but it's pretty good, and that's that's fine.

But superheroes, can we grow up?

Can we fucking grow up?

Do we need any more superhero anything?

Do we need any do we need this?

Do we need um super men?

It's kinda kinda weird.

You're a grown man, you want a super person, you want a super man.

Why don't you do a fucking push-up?

Why don't you fucking get your life in order?

Why don't you get yourself some super bitches?

Okay?

It's kinda fucking weird how consumerism has gotten to this point where people just don't have any fucking self-aware.

People don't have any fucking like self-awareness about how fucking weird the shit that they're like consuming is anymore.

You know, like, do you what you you want?

I want a I want a movie where, like, there's, like, a guy who's, like, really strong and, like, can do anything he wants and, like, is super powerful.

And I want to watch that.

I.

Why though?

You know?

But why?

Like

It's not like it's you.

If you were being depicted in this way, it would be a little amusing.

It would be amusing.

Maybe it would be cathartic.

Maybe if it were like they were showing you like beat the shit out of your boss.

And throw them out of a window, and it's you.

Like, me, I could see the appeal.

Um

But I don't understand the appeal other than that.

Um

I always talked about the contrast between the Chinese science fiction push and Cape Shit and Disney and stuff.

Like, because the s science uh Chinese science fiction

Is always so interesting because and this is gonna be like, I guess, a very superficial reading of like the distinction, but I think it's important.

It's very collectivistic.

It's just showing groups of people working together to like do surmount impossible odds.

And I watched The Wandering Earth, and that's what it is.

It's groups, it's people coordinating to surmount what seem to be extremely insurmountable odds.

Are there heroes?

Yes, there are heroes.

Of course, there are.

But the hero is still working with others, and it's like you're racing against time, you're beating impossible odds.

And it's kind of showing the collective nature of

being super, I guess, like doing extraordinary things.

I talked to Fond Winon in the f I don't know how I just remembered that.

Like the first infrared podcast from like four years ago.

Or the second one.

And Fan Wenan said, he was like, Yeah, we get this from Chinese culture.

There's this parable called the Old Man Moving the Mountain.

And that's kind of where we got this mentality from of being able to like surmount the insurmountable through collective effort.

Anyway, um

You contrast that to the cape shit, where it's just like one guy.

I have so much power.

What do I do with my power?

I'm so powerful.

I have so much dila ethical dilemmas 'cause I'm just so powerful.

What do I who is it my choice?

What right do I have?

Do I deserve it?

I'm so powerful.

Should I become a bad guy or a good gi It's like

It's so fucking narcissistic.

Mm-hmm.

The truth is no one person has such power.

There's no such thing.

There are no super people.

I love, you know what?

We should go back to just having superficial criticisms, just like the Soviet artistic criticisms.

Like, you know what, you know how we should critique Lord of the Rings?

We should just be like

That's fake.

That's not real.

Magic?

What are you talking about?

There's no such thing.

It's it's like not possible.

Straight up.

It's just like not real.

It's fake.

We should like go to the premiere of like movies that have dumb stupid shit in it and hold up signs and be like, This shit's fake, by the way.

There's no such thing as magic.

It's all fake.

Like, we should go to the Spider-Man premiere and just hold up signs and be like, Yeah, this is by the way, this is like not possible.

By the way, like, this is totally fake.

It's like stupid.

It's socialist realism.

Like, this shit's retarded.

This is clearly not reality.

Okay, it's fake.

I'm wrong on fantasy, this is how they do revolutionary fantasy.

Ah, you know, look, I think I am correct.

I think I'm correct because I saw Chinese fantasy movies and I fucking hated them.

I saw The Monkey King, I thought it was shit.

Yeah, I'll be honest.

I'm not I'm not here to like praise everything China that happens to come out of China.

Chinese fantasy films are like dog shit, all right?

Uh to be fair, like all fantasy films are dog shit, but like frankly, it's just so bad.

It's such a stupid film.

I didn't watch the Forbidden there's a lot of stupid shit I just skipped 'cause I know it's gonna be fucking stupid.

Alright.

Sci-fi is the only game in town the way I see it.

I can't think of the last time I appreciated a film that was not sci-fi.

I liked Smile too, 'cause it had a great soundtrack.

I like um Smile too.

I like some horror films.

Smile one, I'm just gonna be honest.

Um

A huge factor that goes into whether I like a film is: do I like the actress?

Do I like staring at her?

I take many points off of Smile One, not because it's a bad movie, but she's not my type.

I don't want to sit through it.

Like, she's just straight up not my type.

Whenever I watch a movie

Um the lead actress becomes my girlfriend for the whole movie.

So I have to choose no I'm just kidding.

What a retarded what a retarded way of looking at it.

Yeah.

Do I like action movies?

Not really, no, I I honestly, I straight up don't.

It's kind of am no, it is true that like if the actress

If she's my type, I give it much more stars.

I rate it much higher, whatever the film is, because I'm like.

You know, this is pleasant.

This is pleasant to watch.

There's beauty in this movie.

The beauty happens to be the actress.

Like, let's be honest, Uncut Gems is not really the best film ever.

If Julia Fox wasn't in Uncut Gems, would I have would I give it a nine out of ten?

No, I'd probably give it a seven.

gets two extra stars 'cause sh she's in that film, you know?

And uh

Yeah, sometimes that's the art.

It's fucked up, but you think I give a fuck, I don't.

What are you gonna cancel me?

Wolf of Wall Street is overrated.

That movie's so overrated.

It's like.

It was good, I saw it in theaters, but you know it inspired an entire generation of retards.

Inspired an entire generation of retards where I'm gonna do that I'm gonna be the new wolf of Wall Screen I'm gonna you know how much fucking idiots

That I even worked with.

At my job.

I worked at a movie theater like around the time that came out.

Okay.

Whether it was after or before I don't remember.

But I literally had coworkers that were like, Oh, I'm gonna do penny stocks and all this It's just like Fuck People are so engineered by fucking movies, it's crazy.

Like fucking people are NPCs.

Holy shit.

Yeah.

I was a terrible employee of are you fucking kidding?

Um

Uh Patrick Beth David.

I'm a London scammer.

I'm a London scammer.

Do what I wanna

Alright, I have an extremely important thing to say.

Drop ten subs to unlock it.

Mm-hmm.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Uh

Listen, look, I'm a London scammer.

I see it, I want it, I cook it.

And that's Nabrando Pirates whipping.

Let's take a man started clicking.

No boo, I'm waitress tipping.

But do come and take this dickin'.

Holding, that's what I'm sipping.

My need, that's what I'm missing.

Look, I'm a London scammer.

I see it, I want it, I click it.

And that's Nabrando Pirates whipping.

Let's stay man started clicking.

No boo, I'm waitress tipping.

But do come and take this dick in.

Grab it up in the chat, we're grabbing it up.

Money, that's what I'm missing.

Swing me a monzo or your dozens.

Even when we're making thousands, I make so much money.

We grabbing it up.

Fuck up the holders' credit.

I said, Do you really wanna take that risk?

Look, actually, I have some shit to talk about.

I actually have some shit to talk about.

I just remembered.

The Intel thing.

Now, this is the nationalization discourse.

Holy fuck.

Gavin Newsome posting MAGA communism memes.

Yeah, everything's going as a good to according to plan.

I mean, as we expected it to.

Now I want to talk about how we navigate this discursively, all right.

Uh what's our take on it?

What's how do we navigate this?

Um okay, A.

Let's be clear about what the intentions are behind this.

By the way, Carlos, I don't know why I thanked you.

Appreciate you, bro.

I want to be clear about what the intentions are behind this.

Are they good intentions?

No.

The intentions are related to the strategy to contain and suppress China.

I mean, we all know that.

If you don't know that, you gotta be stupid by now.

Um so it's all of course it's obviously related to China.

Um

And

The control of the supply of chips and the framing of things in terms of national security is going to lead to a lot more nationalizations.

Of course it is.

So in the context of the US Cold War with China, they have to become a little more like China.

And so the intentions are not good and clearly yeah, but the logic that it introduces with respect to the s sanctity of private property is good.

It does help us that they're setting a precedent of nationalizations.

Because within our own program we advocate for nationalizations, no one can now defer to the sanctity of private property.

So opposition to the nationalization of Intel, like from Thomas Massey and others,

is reactionary.

Uh in terms of the logic it expresses.

We are neither for nor against it.

That's our position.

We're neither for nor against it.

But we support

the logic of nationalization and the way in which that's becoming normalized in US political discourse.

So those who express like Thomas N uh Massey opposition to this, um

It's frankly reactionary, but it's reactionary in the sense of uh

Not in a fascistic sense, but more in a sense of its vein.

It's it's um

When he frames things in terms of saying, you know, the role of government should not be to do this, excuse me, but.

Can we stop lying to everyone and to ourselves about this idea that corporate America is a private sector that is free from the military industrial complex and the government?

It's not.

It's just the difference is there's no accountability.

Why don't we stop lying about this idea?

Well, we have to protect.

We have to protect Apple and Intel and all these companies from government overreach.

No, we fucking don't.

They are the fucking shadow government.

They are the fucking deep state.

Okay?

So let's oppose that reactionary political logic, which is against the nationalizations.

But let's also not jump for joy for the nationalizations because they serve a

Well, they serve a purpose that is obviously part of US Cold War strategy against China.

But such is such is the irony of history and its contradictory development.

Such is the irony of history.

Has anyone else been watching the fucking South Parks, by the way?

as I have and I find them really strange.

They're all targeted you know what's so funny about what's going on with Trump?

There is an omnidirectional, all out, full spectrum attack on Trump.

South Park, uh the Groipers, and the Democrats, and Newsome.

And it's like this full

Spectrum

Assault that is destroying his aura.

Like Trump is falling off big time.

Trump's popular support, he's been outflanked and outmaneuvered.

And I think it's the Democrats for sure.

I mean, what South Park is doing.

Uh what is their intentions?

You know, uh who's putting them up to it?

I think that there's a this is psyops.

Okay, I think these are Democratic Party PSYOPs.

I'm not here to defend Trump.

I'm not here to defend Vance.

Fuck them both.

But I know a PSYOP when I see one, and this is this smells and looks like Democratic Party PSYOPS.

The new something, the culture.

War, the dark woke shit.

I mean, yeah, this is Democratic Party psyops.

And he is getting totally fucking wiped.

I'll I'll be I don't want to defend Trump 'cause he's losing so bad.

I just don't think that he's losing for spontaneous reasons.

I think that this is engineered and coordinated.

Now, does that make a difference per se?

No, is an excuse?

No.

But uh if you're losing, you're losing, you know.

It it means that he's dead and he's done.

He's a dead dog.

He is a dead dog in US politics.

He is.

But I'm just saying don't don't get on board with the dark woke shit.

That's why we're not going to get on board with it, 'cause it's a fucking psyop and it's also fucking Nazism.

It's Nazism, clear Nazism.

Trump is a dead dog in politics, and he is now becoming dead in culture too.

He's fucking losing.

Big time.

Fuck, he is losing the culture war so fucking bad.

I've never seen a US president lose this badly.

At this point, who is.

Who does who are the diehard supporters of Trump Trump?

'Cause I feel like his approval ratings are down badly.

And

He is fucking losing.

Um

His supporters, he's losing the far right.

I don't even know if it's boomers at this point.

I think he's losing everybody.

I think he's been outflanked, he's been checkmated, and he's been outmaneuvered.

Because you know the that what happened is that MAGA turned on Trump.

Of course they did.

Um they did.

And now he's a dead dog in US politics.

And Newsome is coming in for the layup.

And where's what's gonna go on?

You know, what's gonna happen?

A lot of white people in their fifties and sixties still love Trump.

I believe it, but that's not enough to decide anything.

I feel like all of the people that are Trump supporters at this point are only Trump supporters because they are in outdated, retarded and I mean this in the technical sense of the word retarded they are in lagged, underdeveloped media ecosystems.

Whoever's on the cutting edge in the avant-garde of the media ecosphere is against Trump.

But if you are a boomer who watches Fox News still and if you're if you're tapped into the discourse like, you know, you you sometimes you'll get these you know, you'll get shit sent to you like, President Trump is under attack because what's going on is that they are saying our president like that type of shit, I think it's on Facebook probably.

Um that's a retarded media ecosystem.

When I say retarded I mean it's like delayed.

It's much much uh i it's not at the front.

It's like it's much delayed.

I don't know how to say.

And

If anything, Trump is being carried by the Republican Party.

The Omaga itself is not.

For Trump, per se.

Oh yeah, there I that's another thing I forgot I I should have talked about.

Maybe I'll save it for next stream.

Maybe I'll save it for next stream, but

But we're not ending the stream yet.

We're not ending this stream.

What I know, what I actually need to talk about is the redistric redistricting fuck the redistricting shit.

I had a hot shower, I shouldn't have.

It's made me slow and delayed and low energy.

Uh, the redistricting Yeah, the redistricting shit.

We talked about Venezuela in our podcast, the redistricting shit.

Okay?

All right.

I'll talk about it right now.

Looks like a lot of people are sleeping.

Twenty subs and I'll talk about it right now.

If not, I'm gonna wait till Tuesday.

Falls off the dark web, but I got bumped, that shit was dead.

Didn't wanna take that L, so I took out credit instead.

Click eighty packages from next, of course.

He had just got blackly stead.

So I sent it to my girls instead.

I'm a London scammer.

I see it, I want it, I cook it.

Nights in a band, or pirates whipping.

Let's stay in and start it clooking.

No boo, I'm waitress tipping.

Bad deep, come and take this dicking.

Codeine, that's what I'm sipping.

Money, that's what I'm missing.

There we go, Jimmy Cathy.

Alright, uh I'll give you an idea, okay?

Give you an idea.

Basically

Yo, grandma, what's going on?

Appreciate you, bro.

Uh

I actually wasn't that serious, but wow, thank you.

Appreciate it.

Um

I kinda wanna save it for Tuesday, but I'll give you an idea.

'Cause I need to I need to flesh this out and talk about it a lot more comprehensively.

It's actually really important.

So remember the whole Civil War thing and the whole Civil War uh Yo

Jennifer, holy fuck.

Alright, it's paid for.

I was thinking no one would, and we can end the stream.

But it's an ungraceful wait.

I was going to transition from London Scammer to the end title.

But thank you, Jennifer.

Appreciate it.

No, okay, I'll talk about it.

Why not?

Oh, it's only 12.

I thought it was 2 a.m.

We're okay.

All right, look, I'll talk about it.

Sure.

So, yo, Wade with the 10.

Holy fuck, guys.

I don't even deserve this.

I'm such a grifter.

I don't deserve this.

Wade, thank you so much, bro.

Appreciate you.

Wow.

Um

I'm I crav that shit up.

I crab that shit up.

I'm a Lundenskama.

Alright, anyway.

Trade offer.

You give me all these subs.

I give you nothing.

We're ending this show.

I'm just kidding.

Anyway.

Okay, so Texas originally, apparently, so the story goes, the process of redistricting your state has to be something that is done, I believe, with either congressional or federal government approval.

Is it it's congressional approval, right?

uh statewide national congressional approval.

You can't just do it

Um

Willy nilly, you can't.

It's against the rules, okay, of how the procedures of how elections are conducted in the US.

There is some kind of national, uh, oversight body or committee, I don't fucking know what it's called, I forgot, that needs to approve all redistric redistricting, um

Uh

you know, uh, plans.

And, you know, I if you don't know how US politics work, fuck, I don't know what to tell you.

You know, the the the the different districts, congressional districts that decide, um,

Which congressman from each state is going to be uh sent to the House?

You know, those are decided with huge demographic and other kind of electorate considerations that determine whether it's going to be tipped for the Republicans or the Democrats, right?

So in gerrymandering, the electoral districts are decided.

I mean, I hope most of you know what gerrymandering is, but in case you don't, in gerrymandering, the electoral districts are decided in ways that basically you know guarantee that it's gonna go one way or the other, that this is a district that is gonna swing red every fucking time or swing blue every time, right?

So this is gerrymandering, right?

Anyway.

Apparently Texas has taken initiatives to um redraw

The maps, okay?

Redistrict a lot of the places in Texas to benefit the Republican Party.

Supposedly, they were threatening to do this, or they are doing it, or they're planning on doing it, or whatever.

So Gavin Newsom has done something that, in terms of the political logic of American liberal democracy, is pretty fucking crazy and unprecedented.

He said, Beto, this is Beto, I'm quoting Beto, but Newsom echoed the same thing, saying, fuck the rules.

We're playing dirty and we're doing it this way because you don't follow the rules, so we're not going to follow the rules.

So it could be true that the Texas Republicans are breaking the rules.

I mean, they could be.

But only the Democrats are saying fuck the rules.

Now, why does that matter?

Does it mean the Democrats are worse?

No, no, no, that's not what I'm trying to say.

I'm just trying to say that in U.S.

politics, the political logic of violating the procedures of liberal democracy is being normalized officially.

They are doing it.

Okay?

They are breaking the rules.

So Gavin Newsome is planning on redistricting California, knowing full well that it's against the rules.

Again,

The Democrats, sorry, the Republicans, maybe they're breaking the rules in Texas, but they're not saying that, you know, they're not being so explicit about it.

The fact that formally it's so explicit means what?

It means, this is part of the dark woke thing, by the way, that we are entering an era where the political logic of U.S.

democracy.

Is such that there's a breakdown in the common agreed upon procedures and standards for how elections are conducted.

Now, January 6th was significant, and 2021 was significant because for the first time, there were disputes.

So, 2016, there were disputes about the culture of elections.

So, Trump violated those.

He was so politically incorrect.

So, the implicit culture of like, okay, we're not going to be mean.

There's not going to be the Schmittian friend-enemy distinction and enmity, that was thrown overboard.

2021, how we observe the outcome of elections was called into question.

Now, the question of.

Do we trust the election?

Is it being are the votes being counted the right way?

Was it rigged?

That cha that was pretty unprecedented.

We're at a new stage in the development of the American Civil War.

Where they are normalizing, breaking the very procedures formally of how the elections are being organized.

In this case, congressional elections, not presidential, but still, it's just as important.

Do not fucking sleep on this.

A lot of people are sleeping on it because they don't respect form when it comes to U.S.

politics.

They think it doesn't matter.

Form is everything in U.S.

politics because we're a bourgeois democracy.

Our Constitution and our formal boring procedures are everything when it comes to what our law and order is.

It may mean nothing to us who are realists, who see how things really work, but it's the thin fucking line in court that decides you're going to jail.

That's the law.

I mean, that's it.

That's all there is.

It's the thin red line separating order from chaos, okay, in a bourgeois democracy.

I'm not defending it, by the way.

I'm just telling, I'm purely analytical, realistic way to communicate that this is something you should keep an eye on, okay?

So, for the first time, we're just breaking rules now, okay?

And we're doing it explicitly and openly, and we're introducing that political logic of we don't have to follow the common agreed-upon standards and procedures of how we organize elections.

Now what is all of this?

No, Trump did not.

Set this precedent because Trump.

still claimed to be following all the rules and yada yada yada.

He just rhetorically broke precedence.

He broke precedence culturally.

And then maybe he broke precedent w when it comes to observing the outcome of an election.

But this is way, this is something like really fucking new, okay?

And what is this is all what?

It's foreshadowing the Hoi 4 mod the fire rises.

Absolutely.

This is what it fucking is.

This is a cutscene foreshadowing the next fucking U.S.

Civil War.

This is, how do you think the next U.S.

Civil War is going to happen?

Everyone thinks form doesn't matter, but form is the thin red line between who fucking controls the military.

By the way, there's already been disputes about who controls the military in California and who has the chain of what the chain of command is.

Foreshadowing.

But now we are creating the fertile context for the disputation of elections is being created, not according to counting ballots and voting mail order or Russian bots.

Now it's in terms of what?

It's in terms of, hey, this was not re re redistricted procedurally in a correct way, so no, it's illegitimate.

And I guarantee you it's going to be brought up as an issue.

And now the governors are going to say, No, this was legitimate 'cause Texas did it.

And Texas may say, Oh, well, yada yada yada.

So there's gonna be form format.

That's why I'm saying form is everything in a bourgeois democracy, as the thin red line between civil war and status quo.

Because

If there's gonna be a dispute about what the rules are and what the procedures and formalities are, well, hey, liberal democracy is rooted formally in just that, right?

And that is gonna create an objective so you can have a peaceful civil war too.

It's just without any violence for a time, but there's gonna be

Um a dispute about what our government is, and that's what's gonna happen.

There's going to be a dispute about what and who the government is and who holds the governmental authority, in this case at the congressional level.

But it's probably going to spill over to the presidential and executive and judicial level, which it kind of already is.

And so the Civil War is on track to happen, just as I've been predicting it would happen.

And it's out of that shit show that I'm gambling and I'm predicting that the American Communist Party will triumph.

I mean, our party was not made to win elections.

Our party was made to emerge dominant and triumphant in the circumstances of a total collapse of the state and a civil war, just to be frank with you.

You know.

So keep your fucking eye on the prize.

And the prize being what's happening.

Follow this this um very closely and take it very seriously, is all I can really say.

Because the Civil War is being foreshadowed.

Um

And uh

You know, we have to be the ones to see it coming before it does more than anyone else.

Somebody said bruh how?

How well

Belief Fuck, what else can I say?

Belief, we're the ones who believe.

We're the army of believers.

What else can I fucking say?

Nobody else believes in a fucking thing.

Only us.

We're the only ones that have real belief.

And therefore we're gonna win.

Isn't that crazy?

We're the only ones that have belief.

Therefore we will win.

Faith.

Our rivals are gonna be a bunch of fucking crazy killer clowns and fucked up people.

There's no uh you know, okay, do you wanna know how we're gonna win?

Do you actually want that explained?

Okay, 20 s I'm I'm just kidding, that's a joke.

I'll explain it really fast and then we're gonna wrap it up.

Um

Although human beings are decent people and they're good people in America and they ultimately are good and decent and good people, whatever, there is no transcendent principle of politics that can

Preserve the fundamental decency and civilization of the American people that currently exists.

And that's the problem.

People may spontaneously and be naturally be responsive to their neighbors and be good people and have good common sense, but there is no currently speaking, there is no common framework of a transcendent political principle that can marshal and mobilize armies at scale and really represent a principle of state power at scale.

That can preserve civilization within America.

So you have the far right.

At far right, people might on a personal level be decent people.

It doesn't matter.

Their political principle represents something really fucking savage.

It's a really savage logic of politics, which is probably going to be tolerant and probably going to open the door to a lot of fucked up things happening, right?

Um and likewise the same true as liberals.

Liberals who justified the murder of Daria Dugina, the philosopher's daughter.

I mean, they're they're fucking sick in their fucking head, okay?

Liberals.

You know, Destiny, he's wishing death on Trump supporters who have cancer and shit like that and whose children are dying because they can't afford medical care.

It's disgusting.

You just see these people, they are absolutely fucking devoid of humanity, these liberals, right?

And then MAGA, maybe, maybe, but they don't have a principle of politics.

That's the problem.

That's why we're doing MAGA communism because we're trying to discover communism as that principle.

Um, and then you have the far right, and the far right are the far right.

They're fucking savages, okay?

They're absolute fucking uh criminal animals.

So we're the only ones, in my estimation, in my view, who are going to preserve humanity in this country.

As cringe as that sounds.

We don't believe in racial cannibalism.

We don't believe in senseless violence.

We're the only ones who recognize the value of human life.

Why are we the only ones that recognize the value and sanctity of human life?

Because we don't reduce human beings to discursive subjects.

We're the only ones, we communists, are the only ones that at the end of the day say, you know what, man,

You might say and do retarded things, typing on your keyboard or whatever, but you know what?

We're still going to fucking take care of you and your physical health because we think that you're more than just this stupid fucking retard identity that you've adopted.

You know, that's what we have in common.

That's our common.

That's our commons.

Our commons is our humanity in a way, you know?

And we're the only fucking ones that recognize that in a way that's irreducible to different identities and different like stupid nebulous bullshit things.

And in a sense, like, yeah, we have like a hard scientific view in that way.

Like, we are like straight up.

I talk to fucking rednecks that will call me an A-rab and be racist.

I don't fucking care.

Because I know that I'm not the subject of my communist politics to the extent that I.

You know, agree with all the dumb shit you say and believe.

You're the subject of my communist politics to the extent that I believe you do belong to a common sofianic principle of the people, you know, who do represent, you know, our common health, our common existence, our ability to feed ourselves, our ability to take care of each other.

I know this sounds super fucking cringe and disgusting because, you know, some shit like Zoron would say, honestly, it's fucking disgusting.

But I don't know, I can't think of a better way of putting it where it's like, yeah, we do have this common framework of existence that we do need to attend to.

And that has nothing to do with reducing people.

Two different cultural labels.

We're not here to identify people as like, you know, oh, you're um

There's so many people that are ready to slaughter others because like, you know, they just don't fuck with your vibe.

Well, kill him.

Kill him then.

It's like.

By being so savage and inhumane, you're violating the very foundation of our ability to be human and and and have subjectivity.

You're you're violating something more fundamental than just whatever curated online identity you have adopted, right?

So, like, we don't reduce people.

You know what it is?

Only communists are capable.

to recognizing human life beyond information.

That's what it is.

We don't reduce human beings to information.

For every other political faction, human life is reduced to information.

And how that information is coded, how it's categorized, and

how it's presented to you.

And if someone is only

Um existing to you as a form of information, then them disappearing as information may as well be them dying, right?

And it's no difference to you.

But we're the only ones who say they're not reduced to the information.

They do exist even if you don't see them on your screen.

And they do uh deserve to be um lended a hand when they need help.

Even if you can't see them and they're not famous and they're a fucking nobody to you.

Why?

Because that's us.

That's us too.

You know?

Uh we're not always seen.

We need our own dignity.

We need our own fucking privacy.

We're not always just a fucking object for the public to consume as a piece of information.

And if we don't set the standard of having each other's back to that extent,

And then what's the fucking say we're not gonna be made victim to it, you know?

Just as an example, but um, we're the only like only communists can understand something like that, and because communists

Or they're not just like these humanitarians who have this moral framework.

It's more like we care about the.

The base, the common base, whether it's the means of production or whether it's what I just told you, our ability to have a common sense of.

existence, you know.

And that is something that cuts beyond the attention economy and beyond the information sphere.

It's more like a a a principled commitment to attending to the common premises of our existence.

And it's like only communists can do that, you know?

Um

Now, does that mean we mince in warfare?

No, it doesn't.

Does that mean we mourn and shed tears for disgusting people that

Do you get God?

No, we don't.

Who gives a fuck, right?

But at the same time, do we are we light in the way that we treat human life?

Do we treat it lightly?

Do we treat death lightly?

Is it something to just kind of like laugh about, like how Nick Fuentes was laughing about Sinoir?

No, of course not.

Um

No, it's it's an extremely heavy subject.

Even when our enemies die,

Take a moment to fucking pause and think about shit.

Don't fucking just dance on their grave.

What are you dancing for?

You're not you're you're gonna die one day too.

Fucking life is not some death is not something to fucking trifle with, you know?

At least have a have an observe uh an a silence.

The worst thing I can do to my dead enemies is say nothing.

If I'm gonna be totally honest.

Like.

That's the worst I'll do.

I'll just fucking I won't say anything.

What do you want me to say?

I won't say a fucking thing.

Am I gonna rub it in their face?

Like, No, you're dead.

It's over.

You know?

Um

And I'm gonna die too one day.

And and and uh that's it.

Um

Who the fuck else has these principles, no one else.

You know?

Nobody else thinks this way except us.

And you know, people say it's moralistic, yada, yada.

I know we're f we can be ruthless if we're forced to be in those conditions of a total breakdown of law and order and and shit, but

I am a ruthlessly brutal person.

I don't shed ter I think that it's a brutal world and fuck you, bitch.

You know, I'm on some real shit.

I'm a barbarian.

I'm Genghis Khan.

Fucking burn entire cities to the ground.

But.

But that's the ruthlessness and brutality of the world.

See, I observe and respect and recognize the ruthlessness and brutality of our dog eat dog world.

But notice how I don't fucking play with it.

I don't play with it.

I don't fucking.

I'm not a sick fuck who plays.

I'm not a tiger.

Who fucking charges at a boar, rips its throat out, and then starts fucking playing with its dead body and dancing on it.

No.

It's you don't think about it.

You don't it's done.

It's fucking brutal.

You know?

They're sick, disgusting fucks that when war comes they're gonna shoot people and they're gonna skin them and wear their skin and dance around like Buffalo Bill and shit.

That's where we fucking draw the line, okay?

You understand?

It's this disgusting hubris where people feel like because they're killing other people that they've conquered death themselves.

That's what I don't fuck with.

I don't fuck with when on social media they hear someone die and they go

Uh, like like not even like a politician, like an actual f like a streamer influence.

Like, you know, say what you want about Gonzalo Lira.

Was he a great person?

No, but I mean, there were people that knew him personally.

That started celebrating when he died because they debated him and didn't like him.

It's so fucking weird, dude.

Like, they killed him.

It's so fucked up.

Like, holy shit.

Why am I am I a moralist who I because I have this attitude of like it's kind of a fucking red line?

I mean, you don't have to cry, you don't even have to pay your respects.

At the very least, shut the fuck up, you know?

That's my attitude.

At the very least, shut the fuck up.

Um at the very least, shut the fuck up about it, you know, and don't say a fucking thing.

You don't have to cry, you don't have to fucking do anything.

Just at least shut the fuck up and don't say a fucking word.

To use discourse to feel like you've conquered death itself.

That's my I f I hate that.

I hate this idea that internet discourse has made us conquer death.

That we're now immortal because we're on the fucking internet with the free flow of information of unlimited scope and scale, and it's always going to be eternalized on the internet forever.

Therefore, we've gained immortality and we now can have this Luciferian hubris and pride over mortality and death itself.

It is the most disgusting satanic illusion and deception of our time.

No Redditor, you are not immortal.

No Funko Pop Collector, you are not fucking immortal.

No gamer, you're not fucking immortal.

None of you are fucking immortal.

You will die one day.

You will.

And no, it's not a meme.

No, it's not a fucking.

Reddit, fun fact, you will fucking die one day.

It's a guarantee.

It will happen.

And that day should be close to you, like a fucking knife on your throat.

Be fucking humble.

You have not conquered death.

You are finite.

You are a fucking piece of sand.

People lost that respect.

They lost that ability to respect and appreciate it.

Let's turn them into fucking disgusting animals.

Worse than animals, you know?

Savage, disgusting beings that have no place

In a human society.

And we do Fortnite dances on this person's grave.

It's like.

What ultimately are you celebrating?

That you have like what?

Some extra time?

So f no, it's even worse.

You're you're asserting the supremacy of this

Like non-human cloud

Fake World

On the dead.

And that's some shit the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Egyptians, they all were like, don't fucking do that, motherfucker.

Respect the dead.

Don't take all these things that will outlive us.

that we produce and dance on the grave of the death thinking one has conquered.

It's a very delicate balance.

That's what all these ancient cosmologies and ontologies held.

Like do not fucking cross the line into the dead

And start asserting the hubris of the living over the dead.

It's a very delicate red line.

And the fact that we have violated that red line means that we are in for a fucking treat, guys.

There's gonna be killer clowns torturing, raping, and killing like ISIS.

It's gonna be fucked.

Because there's no respect for death anymore.

When there's no respect for death and the world of the dead, then the two kind of bleed into each other and the world of the living becomes indistinguishable and life is treated as cheap.

And you can just be walking by, someone will stab someone, they collapse, whatever.

It's just like it's becomes so.

Fucked up and everyone is always living in terror and fear that they're about to go.

Or worse, they don't even have awareness about it, right?

And this was Liberia, this was Sierra Leone, this was ISIS.

I mean, this is what is in store for us.

And that's why these ancient civilizations were always emphasizing, like, you know, there's a thin line between death and life, and you have to respect that line.

There's a world of the dead, you need to pay homage and respect it because you're going there one day and it's a different world.

It's not this one, okay?

Anyway, this is kind of deep shit.

I don't want to get too much into it.

You know, we've had a long, long stream, everyone.

Great, powerful stream.

I will see y'all.

I will see y'all Tuesday.

Okay, I'll see y'all Tuesday.

Bye-bye.
